Cuban junta have the matter in hand m* and every honorable infinence is to be »s»r used to get the United btutes to ucty knowledge the republican government in Cuba.

Tlie report of. the death ot Amador Guerra, tlie CuLian insurgent leader, lias been fru]uoii?iy deiiied by the Cubans, 'rile Cuban papers publish an account 01 his ueitth by Eiiuiio Cxil, the Spanish soldier-who killed him, the transaction ot which as iollows: "It was 111 the battle ot Peraljo. By my side 10 men fell, four wounded, six dead. As the tiring was quite heavy I took three oi the corpse* and piling them one upon the other formed a protective barricade. I kept my position there until the battle had been 'won by us and the enemy had fled. ••With three other soldiers I then went to the enemy's camp. The number of dead and wounded was large. Stretched 011 the ground was a negro, who'must have been a leac.er, as he had a machete with a silver handle. 1 took Tiis weapon from him and in a few militates we came across a group ot wounded Cubans, among whom was the leader, Amador Guerra, trying to load a revolver. Jumping over several corpses
I
-was by Guerra before he had time to place the bullets in his weapon, and with a single stroke of my machete
I
cut his head off. I offered the machete to the lieutenant colonel of my regiment, who told me to take it to Governor General Martinez Campos. The latter said I might keep it as a memento •of my exploit."
According to the reports current among those interested Cuban affairs the patriots are in a tair way to have a navy before the lirst of the year. It is positively asserted by those who .claim to be conversant with tlie facts that Cuba will have the rights of telligerency accorded her by Mexico jnd several South American republics before a month has passed. Facilities for coaling stations will be provided for the patriot navy and lor all vessels sailing under letters of marque issued by the officials of the republic 01 Cuba. There wnl be several of tlie latter •which will be manned by naval men from different countries, and there are many applications on hie at Cuban headquarters here for pomEious in the fleet. The mission of Secretary Qu«sada in Mexico, which has been kept from the puDlic, was to arrange the details iu connection with this plan. They are now practically completed. The recent capture ot the port ot Banes, on the north coast of tlie island of Cuba, was the initial iep 111 the plan.

The Fable of Death.
Onoe I saw Death go sporting through a plain Of living men, and none perceived him there. The old, of what they did all unaware, Each moment ran against him to their banc. The young, trusting their youth, that of the pain
Of death knows nothing, gave him not a care. Rartdind were all, none sought to 'scape the snare, -with his hand he cocmtcd out the train.
Wien he prepared to shoot, closing each eye. He fired and missed. I, that his aim did see Thus reckless, shouted, "Butcher, hold thy hand!" He turned, and "Such is war" was his reply. "If you pass life without a look at me, How dare you more respect from me demand?" —Edgar Prestage.

The Honse of Regrets.
We make the molds in the springtime, In the fervor of life's first years, We soften the earth with promises,
We sift it with smiles and tears, With fair, fresh hopes and eager faith Water and clay we mix, Saying one is strong and one is pure,
And laugh as we pile our bricks.
In summer wo raise the solid walls And frame the roof above them We smooth each niche and angle down
As if wo had learned to love them We plant sweet blooms about them To make doubt and fear look fair, And When tho house is built we go
And leave it standing there.
But In winter the things we have forgot And the things we have forgiven ilSse up like creeping, crawling mists
Between our eyes and heaven, And rather than madden useless watch. While the sun o'er the great sea sets, We enter ayd close the heavy door
And dwell in the House of Regrets. —Household Words.
Forgive.
Wait not tho morrow, but forgive me now. Who knows what fate tomorrow's dawn may bring? Let us not part with shadow on thy brow,
With my heart hungering.
Wait not the morrow, but liitwme thy linnd In mmo, with sweet forgiveness lull and free. Of all life's joys I only understand
This joy oi loving the e.
