Renieinlmf that He'who gave His life for you trod every step of life's toilful road and remember that He caretb for you; that not an event occurs in your life without His knowledge that there can come to you no sorrow that may not help to round and polish and perfect your character and more abundantly qualify you for citizenship in that city whose builder and maker is God, and where no earthly 111 win ever come.

Gomez is not 111, as reported. Though 73 years of age. he is robust, and will see the end of this fearful war and Cuba free at last. Upon Cuevita Mountain an Insurgent government has been formed. A system of letter-currying has been established. Other departments will be framed as soon as possible. The army is made up two-thirds of doctors arid Inw/erx, and the other pne-thlrd of negroes. They are all fearles men and will uhfe ■ piately be victorious.” The moisture of the eye is a genuine solvent.
