A Missionary in Cuba.

There was one kind of American WIS.,
itor to the island, however, concerning
the beneficial effects Of whose mission
there can be no doubt He was the
practical missionary, who not only held
religious exercises, but established
schools. I met one of these men in
Santa Clara. He was Rev. DIR. Pow
ell, Secretary of a college in Tennes-
see, and he had been sent to Cuba on
what might be called scouting trip for
the Southern Baptist Missionary So
ciety He had formerly been a mis-
sioniary in Mexico, and he spoke Span
ish fiuently. Before the Spanish forces
evacuted Santa Clara there were TWEEN
ty-two priests in the city. After they
had gone only two priests remained.
The people were practically without re-
ligious instruction, and the children
were clamoring for schools and school
books. In three days DIR. Powell had
congregations of from 600 to 500 at his
preaching services. The people were
actually turned away. But what inl-
pressed me more was to see the chill
dren fiocking to his hotel to be enrolled
In the school he arranged to OPEN They
came singly and in twos and threes, and
frequently the mothers came along, and,
with tears in their eyes, thanked the
missionary for opening a school. DR..
Powell was not the only man in Cuba
on such a mission, and it is pleasant to
record that invariably their efforts to
establish schools We're meeting with sue

MEMORABLE MEETINGS.
The Cowden C1arkes and the Fa-

Mrs. James t. Fields writes of the
Ciarkes as Two Lovers of Literature
and Art
Imagine what it must have been to a
young man Of keen social instincts and
tastes like his own to have those won
derful evenings Of sacred music thrown
open to him, when Vincent Novello
played the organ at the Portuguese
Chapel and introduced into England for
the first time the masses of Haydn and
Mozart; life must have seemed sud
denly glorfied, and the world a new
place to his receptive mind Then fol-
lowed the exquisite evenings at Vim
cent Novelties own house, where Leigh
Hunt, Shelley, Keats, and the Lambs
were invited guests 1t was on one
of these occasions. that Victoria, full CT
gi l sh enthusiasm, crept behind the sofa
and laid her little soft cheek upon
Leigh Hunts resting hand, which, she
says, was slender and white-a true po-
cts hand. Then followed suppers @'at
the alternate dwellings, Of the Novelties,

soon after Malibran's marriage with De

A RELIGIOUS REVIVAL.
Interesting Services at Seventh
Street M. e. Church.

There was a good attendance at the
Seventh street NJ E. Church South last
night, where a revival meeting is In
progress nightly. Last nights sermon
was by Rev. w. e. Vaughn, who dealt
With the subject of prayer and Christian
duty. He enriched his sermon with
scriptural quotations and references to
Biblical history, though the sermon was
full of plain, everyday illustrations and
applications.
The meeting was opened with prayer
and considerable singing. After the
congregation had sung:
am dwelling on the mountain,
Where the golden sunlight CLEANS
Ger a land whose wondrous beauty
Far exceeds my fondest dreams.
the speaker began his sermon, and for
nearly an hour he discoursed ON the
philosophy and power of prayer, the
beauties of the righteous life, and the
glorfes of salvation.
The heart that truly prays is really
in right relation with Cod" he said,
for the true doctrine of prayer is COM
munion with God; and it is a strange
fact that there is no rational man
wholly free of prayer, because prayer
is necessity of mans nature, fact
we cannot get away FROM
To prove the foregoing the speaker
dwelt for a time on Biblical illustra
tons, also on the well-known facts of
secular history, after which he said:
But God does not apparently answer
every prayer-at least such is the ver-
dict from the human point of view,
but all good prayers from righteous
hearts are really heard and answered"
Speaking Of concrete results and hu-
man conditions as the masses see them,
the speaker said:
There is much sham piety in the
world, a pretense of religion and of
prayer. People pray for the ungodly,
but keep away from them If you
want real revival you must enter into
fellowship with the unfortunate and go
forth to work among the unreg enerate -

In slowing down his car for a passen-

The brass ball on the end of the

the attending physicians could not say.

EIfgnheth Crom,xeII.

Cromwell legends are so ubiquitous
In England that it is a real relief to Iay
ones hand upon a bit of solid fact re-
lating either to the protector or his
family. Elizabeth, the second and fa-
vorite daughter of Cromwell, married
John CIaypole of Northborough, and
appears to have spent considerable
potion of her - years of welded life
in his substantial fourteenth century
house. Carlyle asserts Elizabeth Clay
pole to have been ca graceful, brave
and amiable woman, and of her home
that it is now ruined-patched into
farmhouse"
The second statement is not charac-
terized by his usual accuracy, and the
frst probably needs some modification,
Tor Elizabeth ClaypCle is credited with
some turning of her head over her IA
theirs elevation, and at wedding
feast is reported to have exclaimed,
when asked why the wives of the major
generals We're absent, "I'll warrant
you, washing their dishes at home, as
they used to do" Not particularly
'amiable" sentence that.
Cromwell seems to hava had some
insight of her little weakness. "TeIl
her. he wrote once, "to take heed of
departing heart and of being cozened
with worldly vanites and worldly com,
pany, which, l doubt, she is too Subject
TO. !" 1t is agreed by most authorities
that John Claypole himself was little
enough OF Puritan, but let it stand to
his credit that, after Oliver died, he
provided a haven for his widow for the
Eest OF her life in this manor house.

The Relative InsigniRca

The Relative InsigniRcance of Man.
In his recent lecture at the Royal in.
stitution in London, Sir Robert Ball,
lately astronomer royal in Ireland,
stated that we now knew the existence
Of 30, 600, 900 Of stars or suns, many of
them much more magnificent than the
one which gives light to our system.
The majority Of them are not visible to
the eye or even recognizable by the tele-
scope, but sensitized Photographic plates
have revealed their existence beyond all
doubt or question, though most of them
are almost inconceivably distant, thou
sands or tens Of thousands of times as
far off as our sun. A telegraphic mes
sage, for example, which would reach
the sun in eight minutes would not reach
some of these stars in 1, 800 years. An
average of only ten planets to each sun
indicates the existence within the mar
row range to which human observation
is still confined of at least 800, 000 900
of separate worlds, many of them doubt
less of gigantic size, and it is nearly in
conceivable that those worlds can be
wholly devoid of living and sentient
beings upon them, probably mortal in
our sense, as all matters must decay

relative position of mankind ?-London
