ment pertaining to the time.
The fact is, the labor question is likelv
to become as serious in this Isle of To-
morrow as in any other portion of the
earth. Some people contend that the
abolition of slavery demoralized the labor
system; perhaps it is possible that the
mischief dates farther back and the de-
moralization began when slavery was in
sttuted. At any rate the negroes, freed
from the enforcement of work, are prone
to be idle and thriftless, having no thought
for the morrow and taking no interest in
the property out of which they have to
make living. In the season when the
cutting of cane is necessary, they can
not be obtained, except at wages which
the times and the prices of sugar will
not warrant and even then, whole GANGS

three thousand of them, and that there

the oft repeated statement that more than
half the population of New Cuba is de-

mostly uneducated, and of course unfit

The Seamstress.

Miss Dorothy Dot, in her little red chair,
Put her thimble on with matronly air.
And said: "From this piece of cloth, guess,
I'll make my baby brother lovely dress

And over and under and round about
And through and through, till the snowy
lawn
Was punched and crumpled and gathered
and drawn.
She sewed and sewed to the end of her

Then, holding her work to view, she said ::
This isn't baby-dress, after ALL
It's bonnet for my Iittlest doll!"
