To take the tune of Cupid's making,
And teach my sweetheart from the hill
pretty trick for dear escaping;
When by the constant lavender.
Or gypsy rose she stayed tolparley,
Oh, cheerily went my feet to her
Along the road to Marley.
All, Nelly White, when you with me
Were keeping starlit company,
The mile of bliss,
The laugh and kiss,
From Shepperton to Marley
Not warm enough my lips to keep
The lips of Death from cold caresses.
Oh, weary head, to never sleep
Upon her heart, amid her tressesl
No more to watch the foam of light
Ran Tipping over seas of barley,
For Death, the harvester by night
Went down the road to Marley.

Were keeping starlit company,

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY "NEMo".


The surging waves, with might suffi-
cient to crush the leviathan ships, are
turned into harmless ripples by the sands;
they have to break before the force of the
little grains clinging close together.
The proud spirit of man, Wanting itself
to be something great, is brought to dust
by invisible creatures that permeate the
system and gradually weaken the forces
preparatory to the one great universal
humbling.
The unrighteous nation whose guide is
passion and whose god is gold, whose
spirit setteth itself like flint against
mercy and tenderness, has its day. Its
own willfulness prepares the way for its
destruction. The small within it are used
to confoupd the mighty.

The great parable of brotherly love
shows US that the neghbor of the nation
that fell among thieves does not establish
its neighborliness by being rich, or by
being on the other side of narrow high
way, but by tenderly lifting up the
wounded, and by fearlessly driving off
the prosecutors. Our attitude is the atti-
tude of the Good Samaritan. Our justi-
tication for interfering with those who
are not blood of our blood, nor flesh of
our flesh is simply his justiication-'I
saw need and | met it; | saw suffering
and | bent to relieve it; | saw evil treat
ment, and l undid the work of the
thieves" And the morning after the
relief he went on his way.
So shall we. We have neither part nor
parcel in Cuba when the deed of merciful
force is done. When the sick are re-
freshed, and comfort is given, we have
our duties here at home, and they their
privileges there in their home, and the
two homes are not one. Thus just because
no nation on earth can read selfishness
into our ajestic rebukings and our ten
der ministrations, no one has reason for
putting restraint upon us.
We declare that nearness entails re-
sponsibility; for the strong one who can
defend is the one who ought to defend
the near one who is oppressed.
We declare that force must be met with
force; for savage beasts have no respect
for gentle voices. A tightening grip upon
the throat, and a bella boring cudgel are
the only argument for blood hounds
whose jaws drip with innocent blood.
We declare that the moderation OF the
stencil of cruelty and Of war beneath our
very nostrils has been promised again and
again, only each time for the promise to
be broken, and we therefore declare that
Spain has neither power to put down the
insurgent government nor set up the
autonomous.

The great deeds of the past in which we
profess to trace Gods hand and interior
ence in the affairs of men, have ever been
wrought by mems hands. Miracles and
men work together. Divine influence
comes through human mediums, and thus
now as we-a nation that hath itself been
brought up through great tribulation-
are spending our best, our blood, if
need be ourselves for those too sunken to
know what is being wrought for them
We. l say, are where the great unseltish
ones have stood before us. Our deeds and
our affections go out to the needy and
the oppressed, and we are nationally
raised thereby. Every deed done to bless
the unblessed, or save the lost, is an up
lift to nation that has been too material,
and that now sees clearly that there be
things more precious than gold, and that
one of them is .'service to the weak.

Let US apply the thought. Naughty
Spain is totterng to a national doom. 1t
has ever oppressed without wisdom, and
slain without reason. Its hands have been
imbrued in the blood of its finest chill
dren, from the persecution Of the saints to
the expelling of the Moors; from the con-
tiscation of Jewish property to the
gathering of wretched Cubans to starve.
The dumb tongues have been gathering

The brutality to the helpless and harmless
is the last drop in the trimming cup Of
wrath The small and the oppressed are
the chosen instruments OF punishment;
for it is these on-com batants who have
aroused the thinking world, and mighty
neighbor. 1t is their feeble pipings, and
the stern voice of those who would die
for them that shouts at last to proud

marshaled hosts of the night skies, and
the dumb ache Of the trial-perfected soul
both unite to give tone to His voice.
The voice of the nation is heard in the
majestic quiet, which, after much trial
from evil, speaks in acts that break down
resistance, or it may even be heard in the
silent suffering that seems to pass I'M

Dear Hal.
May q.

Dear Hal: May q.
IL the future does not show that Salt
Lake has this week been entertaining
couple of dramatic angels unawares,
then 1 am willing to forfeit my repu-
tation as a prophecies. It seems al
ways TO be the case that the waning
season brings the rag tag and bob tail
of the profession to the surface; not
that no good companies come along,
but attractions are booked then that
wouldn't be given an instant's hearing
by a manager when the season is in
full swing, and Welsh Settlers and
other people who do not settle at all
are allowed to swoop down upon US
with none to modest them or call in
the health department.
To nothing else can I attribute the
lack of interest in the visit of Janet
Waldorf and Clay Clement. Here were
two of the brightest, most particular
stars that ever glinted in our theatrical
horizon, but both aroused only a pass
ing sort Of interest The Waldorf must
have lost money and Mr.. Clement made
but little. if any. though his houses
showed a steady gain each night. Yet
both these people belong in the cate
CORY of the highest, best and truest
that is found in art, and both are as
sure diLloSl Oh making noise N the
world as Sampson is of smashing Ger
vera when he catches him. Miss Wal
dorf, of course, has more chance of
failure than Clement. She belongs to
the weaker sex, and there are many
things that may happen to sidetrack
he before she reaches the goal; but
Clement is bound ahead, straight for
the mark, and fame and fortune seem
to be just within his grasp. Small
wonder will IL he if TINA Onr1eS

ates of Johns Hopkins, who have re-

fence in the Cuban army, had some

which consisted Of probably $500 or 81
O9v men. We two were assigned to a
battery and stayed in the artillery till
about nine months ago, when Latrobe
was given a place on Brigadier General
Collosda's staff. We found that in the
mountains nearly all the insurgents
were negroes and commanded by me-
gro officers, but that in the central
parts of the island the troops were all
white and commanded by white officers.
We noticed that when a negro officer
was hlAIeQ OF OleQ IIldI q white man was
always appointed in his place. 1t seems
that the policy of the inSurgent gov

entirely in command of white men.

BANKS ARE FULL OF MONEY
NEW YORK NEVER HAD so
MUCH CASH
Conditions That Have Brought About
This Accumulation of Idle Money
will Continue to Gain

New York, May 21-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve. s&71S.025: loans, in
crease, S7,S57, 800; specie, increase, So
900, 500; legal tenders, increase. $1,321,-
500; deposits, increase. S14, 267, 800; circu-
lation, increase, $4,000.
The banks now hold $50. 259, lis in ex-
cess of the requirements OF the % per
cent rule.
The Financier says this week: In
the face of the showing made by the
New York banks for the week ending
May q, it is difficult to see how the
money market is to be sustained on
The banks now hold an excess reserve
of $50, us, $50, the highest reported in Ii
months, and the total cash in bank has
rarely exceeded the present volume.
The circumstances which have brought
about the remarkable changes in the
statement are not difficult to under
stand. The steady demand for interior
remittances has given way to a decided
movement to this center. The shipments
to the interior have not equaled gold
imports for some time.
Added to this, the treasury is diSburs-
ing large sums of money, and until two
weeks ago high rates forced a constant
liquidation of loans and sales of ac-
cumulated sterling bills. The result
has been to throw mass of idle money
into the banks. Fortunately the situa-
ton has so much improved that the
banks are finding use for part of this
money, and the expansion of s., 1851. 800
in loans for the week is a cheering
sign What proportion of this increase
represents mercantile demands cannot
be estimated, but it is true that some
very active buying of sterling bills is
again being INDUCED in.
The expansion of deposits for the
week can be traced to several large
banks, notably those which are con-
cerned in international movements, but
