elucidate for others mysteries which are yet unsolved to my own mind. Beautiful Cuba, gem of the 6ea, land of perpetual summer, home of the cocoa and the palm,-, whose wave-washed shores border her inland verdure like a golden frame surrounding a brilliant, sun lit picture whose perfume laden breezes, whispering through tropical groves, fan into luxuriant life her generous vegetation, impart the swart tints t» the faces of her men, and the carmine and dusky rose to her sparkling eyed women.

Poor, suffering Cuba, whose brave, determined struggle lor independence was prolonged for years, amid 6uch dreadful scenes of butcheuy and bloodshed as caured the very souls of those who sat afar in safety to sicken at the reoital. Yet the nations of the earth looked calmly on, nor lifted an arm to stay the unequal &trife, nor uttered a word in behalf of the weak and helpless. But courage, fair daughter of the South. The blood of your noblest and bravest was not shed for naught. The sacrifices and sufferings of your fairest and purest were not in vain. Purified and strengthened by the fiery ordeal through which you so lately passed, you only bide your time. The day is coming when the heavy Spanish yoke shall be lifted from your neck, and the entrance of that enlightened, progressive, civilization, which even now waits at your very door6, shall awaken you into such new and beautiful life as shall cause your fair land to bloom into an earthly Paradise.

This was the native land of the woman, a part ot whose story I am about to relate, and Havana the'place of her birth. Here, in thiB city of narrow streets, numerous volantes, gloomy exteriors, and sumptuous interiors, she was brought up the daughter and heiress of one of its wealthy citizens. Her instructors were the gentle low-voiced Sisters of St. whose convent life 6he shared for several years. At fifteen 6he is a woman, (maturity i6 reached early under that tropical sun,) and that she must have been as lovely as any heroine of romance I, who 6aw her for the first time when her gratia-children were about her, and was even then charmed with her beauty of face and figure, can well believe. I# can 'imagine that ^te island senors, in their much loved but high, ungraceful volantes, must have found it nece66(.ry to drive oiten past the house where they hoped to catch glimpse of he bright face of the young beauty.

This house, after the style and architecture of that place and period, was dark, gloomy, even jail like, outwardly, with its iron-barred windows, but within was sumptuous as a palace. The high, arched, open hall-way, which led from the street to the inner court, was pave with stones, and through this passage the carriage went and came, pausing at the door of the great reception room, from the marble tiled floor of which Anita daintily stepped into it when, after the heat of the day, she rode forth to enjoy the evening breezes, and gladden the eyes of her numerous admirers. The Cuban lady of position, I am told, is never seen walking the streets but, with flowing vail, flash ing jewels, and the ever present, coquettish fan, rides on ever occasion.

The curtain has just fallen on the final scene of a life drama which, in its 6trong contrasts, Its lights and (.hade?, it6 romantic incidents, that furnish another illustration of the old 6alng "Truth is stranger than fiction" almost, if not quite, rivals one of the most imaginative productions of the modern play-writer.

The curtain is down for the last time. Shall I, who have- been permitted to catch a glimpse occasionally of this drama, which opened amid scenes as beautiful as those of fairy land, but ended in tragic darkness, 6hall I wrap mysell aljout with indifference as with a garment, go out and mingle with the busy throng, and, in the constantly recurring, eyer new tragedies, comedies, and above all, the forces which make up the turn total of what we call life, forget what has just passed before my eyes or shall I, though with but a feeble, unac customed pencil, strive to outline a few of the important points, and present them to the public? Perhaps it would be well, but I cannot moralize over situations

I myself do not understand, nor

owed thdpsucteas cf their plans. Diuing the fifteen yea» that she had been the constant attendant of her young mistress, the one object of her life had been to see to it th2t her darling's slightest wish was gratified.

Arrived in New Orleans, the bride became at once a great favorite in society, and, ere long she was the acknowledged queen of every festive occasion. Truly life spread out bef®re her like a beautiful landscape. Every breeze bore on its soft wings the breath of orange groves, and the cool, delicious murmur of fountains. So it had ever been in the past, and 6o of course ij must continue to be in the bright, rosy future, which beckoned her onward. No white-winged messenger of forgivene66 and love ever came to her from her sunny island home, but what of that? She had, during her brief childhood, passed from the nursery to the convent, and from that into society and then matrimony, so rapidly that really there had been no opportunity to form a strong attachment lor any one except the old nurse Bona. She, good soul. wa6 still with her. Her husband was devoted and indulgent her friends full of admiration and flatteries she wa6*urrounded by every luxury and elegance that money could procure she was young and beautiful and full of gay spirits and bri6ht hopes what more had life to offer?

As time passed on, however, it gradually dawned upon the doating young hus band that his fair Anita was wholly un cultivated, save in that superficial gloss which fitted her to shine in the society of that gay and frivolous city and untaught in even the simplest of womanly accomplishments. Her nature, too, was wholly undisciplined. In the bright tropic land of her birth sometimes, suddenly, there sweeps ever the earth so furious a hurricane that, in an instant, the scene of beauty is transformed into a picture of desolation and death. So with this highspirited, untaught woman. The slightest obstacle in the path of her imperious will was liable to awaken such a tempest of furious anger as to render her when it was past, utterly w.eak and helpless. She was but a child—her husband 6aid to himself, a spoiled, petted child time and proper influences would refrnedy these defects, and ultimately make her all he wanted her to be. ^leanwhile her old nurse waited upon her as of yore, her maid took care of her appearance, while, under the charge of trained servants which money bought and paid for the wheels of domestic affairs ran smoothly, or, if.ever there was a stoppage or a jar, none dared to offend the ears of the young mistress with the unpleasant details.

So the years sped on, with soft, Eilent, but swift—oh"! how swift feet, and tyai handsome, sturdy boys moved about the Gale mansion. And. after the manner of natural, healthy boyhood the world over wherever they went noise, confusion, and disorder went with them. Only, in this case, it did not matter at all the servants were taught to bear all, even insolence and blows, with stoical endurance, and put in order after their young masters, as was their place to do. And so the years went on. The elder son grew up dark and brilliant, but haughty and impatient of restraint as his lady mother herself. The younger, fair, and blue eyed like hia father, but cool, calculating, and, as the sequel proves, utterly incapable of an unselfish emotion or impulse. The young mother loved her children with a blind, unreasoning, idolatrous affection, which required that every wish of theirs should be gratified. Woe to the slave who crossed their will even in the smallest particular. The father knew the dangers of this unlimited indulgence, and planned to send his boys away to school, where they could be taught the important lessons of self-reliance, and proper respect for the rights df'Others but the mere mention of such a design served to awaken one of those furious outbursts of temper from hi6 wife, which he—strong man though he was—had learned to fear and dread. And so the final issue was postponed from time to time the father, meanwhile, looking on with apprehension, and doing what he could.to stem the tide of circumstances which, with resistless power, was bearing his undisciplined children ouward to an ungovernable manhood. Men often become infatuated with a fair face and a beautiful figure and, in spite of the dictates of their judgment marry the woman who possesses them, even though her qualities of mind and heart may be sadly at variance with her physical peifections silencing the protest of their higher natures by such an argument as this: "After all, if I make a mistake no one will suffer for it but myself, and I can bear anything better lhah life without her." Total delusion! Life without her often comes to be the one thing necessary to peace of mind, and, instead of a single sufferer fcho entered into bondage willingly and eagerly, helpless children come to bear him company who are dowered, even from the first" moment of existence, with the mother's weak incapacity, or perhaps more decidedly dangerous characterise tics. No man has a right to give his children an unworthy mother, and yet men often do this thing knowingly, and then when the evil tree bears its bitter fruits, when tneir gray hairs are brought down with sorrow ana shame to the dust, the world wonders that such things should be. It need not. If a man in this particular sow to the wind, selfishly regardless of those whom it is his first duty to consider, he is very apt to reap the whirl-

No wonder that Nelson Gale, the young merchant of New Orleans, who was in Havana on business connected with his wealthy house, having once seen the beautiful Anita, fell desperately in love with her, and then and there made a firm resolve to out-distance every rival for her favor, and win her for his wife, though why she should look with so much favor on this fair-faced, blue-eyed stranger from another land, and, casting aside the devotion of all othert, accept ot hit alone, wa6 a matter of wonder to many, and of much chagrin, not only to rejected suitors, but to the lady's friends, who had no idea of permitting this blonde young Hercules of another toungue and a heretic faith, to carry away their lovely island beauty from their mid6t. So the foreign Senor came no more to enjoy the old Don't hospitality, and the little wind through those so disregarded. Senorita, his daughter, rode bravely 1 The gifted author of "Shirley" savs, forth no more at sunset, save as she was "The future sometimes seems to sob a low

attended by the strictest of duennas. But love, to whom even locksmiths area puny folk, makes no difficulties of such restrictions and so it came to pass that when the U. S. mail steamer sailed for home, one morning at daybreak, she numbered among her passengers Nelson Gale aud his fair Anita, who with all speed repaired to the ship's chaplain and were married. When the young girl's disappearance became known, ah! then there was hurrying to and fro in that fair Cuban city but when it transpired that the hated American had carried off the prize, the air became thick with Spanish imprecations, and the enraged old Don swore musically in pure Castilian that the ungrateful girl should never inherit a centavos of his money. But the happy lovers were safe from pursuit, much to their joy and that of old Aunt Bona, Anita's faithful black nurse, who accompanied them, and to whose services they

warning of the events.it is bringing us, like some gathering though yet remote storm, which, in tones of the wind, in flushings of the firmament, in clouds strangely torn, announces a blast strong to strew the sea with wrecks. At other times this future bursts suddenly and, ere you are aware, you stand face to face with an onthought-of calamity."

No such warning ever sounded in the ears of this thoughtless mother, or, if it did, it was misunderstood and disregarded. But the father grew pale and silent, and his sad eyes seemed to be always searching the future to make out the form of that calamity which he felt to be lurking somewhere" behind its shadowy vail. It took definite shape at last, and came upon them unnounced. One morning, shortly after the elder son had entered upon his fifteenth year, the other members of the family awaited his appearance at table. They" waited in

vain'i. A £krvijR(|t fenttobis room. He was nOcth^*. and evidently had not .occupied itdurkTg thearight. "The house' was searched, and the grounds, the city, b«t no trace of him could be found. He had disappeared as completely as though the earth haj opened and swallowed him up. And though the agonised father spared neither time, strengh, hof money in (he search, no clue t»tbe whereabouts, of his 6on was ever discovered. But still he ndver gave ovtr the search i: become, henceforth, the one object and lobar of his life.

In the meantime the management of his large and complicated business de volved upon others, and his expenses were very mnch increased. Five jean after he last saw his missing son the house which had been sustain ed by his capital failed. Tne next day, in a darkened room of the sumptuous Gale mansion, lay a still, pale form the hands folded over a breast which was peaceful at last, the sad, anxious eyes closed—they would search for the lost one no more. Heart disease, the doctors 6aid brought on by sorrow and anxiety, and hurried to a fatal ending by the new calamity ot the failure. The widow and her remaining son would have found themselves penniless now, but for the tender foresight of the dead hwsband, who had settled upon his wife fcr her exclu sive use, a sum which was sufficient for the necessities and comforts of life.

Years after, there appeared in a small town of one of the Western states, a family which attracted much attention and excited many remarks—as all Strang ers are apt to do in village society. This family consisted of a stately, dark-eyed lady of perhaps forty years, her married son, a fair, effeminate man, his pretty young wife, two fairv like little girls, daughters of the youthful couple, and an aged negress wljo, it was said, had nurseo the elder lady in her infancy. They took the handsomest house the town af forded, caused it to be refitted, and furnished it with what seemed to the worthy but plain townspeople wonderful elegance. When they went out they drove in a plain but stylish carriage, and, on Sunday the ladies rustled up the aisles of the village church in silks that would "stand alor.e," the gossips told each othei after the service was over, and made 6uch a display of filmy laces and flashing jewels, that every woman in the congregation who had not presence of mind to keep repeating the tenth commandment, broke it then and there. These strangers incurred the enmity of many of their new neighbors, by allowing it to become known that they would never have thought of burying themselves in a small country town, but for the fact that circumstances made it necessary for them to practice economy, and they could live so much cheaper here than in a larger and mote congenial place. They remained, however, two or three years, and formed acquaintances who exchanged the ordinary civilities of social life with them, but made no warm friends. They were not eVen happy among themselves. It was whispered that Madame Gale and her pretty daughter-in-law were anything but loving toward each other, while the blonde young man was neither a dutiful son, nor a tender husband. The wheels of domestic affai's jarred and creaked fearfully, as good help was scarce, and" when found resented the manners of these former slaveholders so much as to soon betake themselves to other and le6s exacting emptor ers. Often, if it had not been for the eftorts »f old Aunt Bona, the still devoted attend* ant of her former mistress, who hobbled feebly about on her rheumatic limbs, the elegant house would have been comfortless enough for neither lady, it was said, ever so much as waited upon herself. But at length age and the rigors of the unaccuntomcd climate proved too much even for her devotion to her former nursling, and 6he laid down for her final rest. Soon after thi6 event a letter arrived from a New Orleans lawyer, informing Mrs. Gale Of the death of her father, and that in his last hours he had relented toward his long estranged child, and divided his fortune between her and the church, the latter claiming much the larger share. Thejr.. were in funds again and with all haste they arranged their affairs and left the village and that was the last seen or heard of them for several years.

Then# the elder Mrs. Gale returned to the town alone, took lodging and hired an attendant. A littleolder than when she went away, a shade less imperious in her manners, but she was still as fond of dress as ever. The 60n had tried to get all the property in his own hands, she said, and was not kind to her besides. She was tried 60 she had given him half of what remained of her father's bequest, and come back here to rest. The poor ladv knew nothing whatever about business, and, left to hertself, fell an easy victim to swindlers who, under pretext of arranging for investments, on more than one occasion robbed her outright. There was no intercourse between herself ani her son or his family. So affairs went on till the village was thrown into a flutter of excitement and curiosity by the advent of a stranger—a dark, handsome, foreign looking man,- who inquired for Madame Gale and waS directed to her lodgings. Soon the news spread that this gentleman was no other than the long" lost, elder son, who had heard of the lonely life hia mother was leading, and had come to take her to his own nome, and care for her tenderly henceforth. This report was verified a few days later by'the two going away together. No explanations were made to the public as to the cause of his mysterious disappearance in his boyhood, or in regard to his wherabouts and cccupation during the years of his long absence but his mother was satisfied and happy, and the good people with whom she had been associated rejoiced with and for her, that now her declining years would be cheered by her son's society and filial devotion. Thus the time went on till another year had passed when, sudddenly, and unannounced, Madame Gale returned to the town alone. Broken in health and fortune, her bright hopes shattered,-she came back to her qOiet refuge a mere shadow of her former self. The abundant dark curls, which formed apart of her wonderful beauty when she first came among us years ago, were now scanty and almost white lines of sorrow and care were on her face, and the dark eves, once so proud and clear, now had a look of helpless, hopeless anguish. Her story was strange and pitiful. The man who

had claimed to be her son was really an impositor. She had begun to suspect that very soon after placing herself so completely in his power. When she began to exhibit signs of uneasiness she had become virtually a prisoner, and was kept so until, through fear, she had been induced to relinguish all her fortune to him except what had been invested in real estate in tbe village to which she had returned. After that, she said, there had been an attempt made to poison her, when she. rendered desperate by the accumulated horrors of her situation succeeded at last in making her escape. Inquiries were at once set on foot by the authorities, in the distant city to which she had been taken, but no trace of the successful villian was ever discovered

So she took up tne burden of her life again, sadly enough, now that age had come upon her, and th^re was but a pittance of her former wealth between herself and utter destruction. Had she been brought up differently she might, even now, by careful foresight and the practice of self-denial and great economy, have had enough for comfort for the remainder of her life: but to these things she was an utter stranger. The habits of a life-time were too strongly fixed to be changed at this late day, so she read her novels as cf vore and drifted on, while the shadows of the night with an old age alone, helpless apd penniless, gathered darker and darker around her. The day came at length when the last dollar was gone. Then ehe passed from one boarding house to another, staying in each as long as they would keep her, still exacting of attention, still important and querulous as ot old. When the patience of boarding he use keepers became exhausted more than one family, who had known her in her days of prosperity, took her into their homes and cared for her as tenderly as though 6he had been a relation or a dear friend. This was no light task at best, but when paralysis was added to her other infirmities of body and temper, and she oecame as helpless as an infant, then indeed, it grew tenfold harder. It has been asserted that Charity no longer exists on the earth. If this be true will some one name the feeling which actuated the6e good people in their conduct toward this unfortunate woman?

Her mind gradually grew weak, and at last, after many delays, and with great reluctance, it wa6 decided to send the poor old lady to the poor house, for the wealthy did not ofier to assist in taking care of her, and others had reeched the limit of their means. S. this proud, imperious, exacting woman, who had been born and reared in a palace, who had, in the haughty insolence of youth and beauty queened it over two cities, whose lightest word, during the greater part ot her life, had been law to cringing slaves, who had nevei brooked interference or control even from those nearest and deare6t to her, ended her days among paupers in a poor house. Over the scene when she knew that this was to be her fate, and her subsequent life until its final close, let us draw a vail. The description would be too pitiful. Where was her son with whom 6he had *hared her wealth, during all these years? Why did he suffer the duties, which should be sacred to loving hands, to be performed by others? Why did he leave his mother to die among strangers and be buried in a pauper's grave? These, and many similar questions, were often asked, but were never satisfactorily answered.

By the co-operative plan of purchasing introduced by a New York dealer a clergyman can obtain $22 worth of groceries for $n, among the articles being ten quires of sermon paper, a minister's record, a four-ounce bottle of castor-oil and the same quantity of Epsom salts.

Samuel Hawkins, of Madisonviile, Ky. on being expelled from the church applied for readmission, and his'petition being refused, assaulted the minister with a brick. A Nevada Methodist being disciplined attached an immense steam calliope to his saw-mill near the church, and regularly every Sabbath conducts a service of praise all by himself, playing "The 6weet By-atid-By" with a vigor which drowns the voice ,of the preacher across the way. A magistrate, before whom he wa6 cited, decided that the worshipper had as much right to conduct his service with a musical steameng'ne as the clergyman had to conduct hi* with an organ but an appeal has been taken to a supperior tribunal.

The Freedmen's Aid society of the M. E. Church has issued its eleventh report. The Church ranks third in church membership in the South and second in colored membership. There are now five chartered universities and colleges under its care, three theological schools two medicai colleges and ten institution not chartered, in which last year 2,940 pupils were instructed. The progress they have iiiade is reported as decidedly encouraging. The freedmen are said to have improved in morality and increased in wealth, and no people contribute more liberallv, accordingto their means, towards the buildings of churches and schoolhouses, to the support of their pasters, and the general benevolences.
