What though when you knew not a narrow,

A nd yciir"frlciulV'ibcii they w anlcd lo borrow,
Vou'd oblige and no'r iwt: them lo "pay,"
What though not a koul you o'tr Kllghttsl,
As yon m nndered about through tho town,
Your "friends becomo ery near-sighted,
And don t secki to feco you when uomii.
When you'ro "up " jou nro loudly exalted,
Aud traders nil dins out your pralso:
When you're dawn, on luvogrcntly defaulted,
Ana ihey really "don't fancy your ways."
Your stylo was "tlp'top'' when jou'd money,
Ho Mugs every tuclur and clown i
Hut now It's exceedingly fuuny,
Things nro altcrtd becauso you nro down.
Oh, glvo me tl o heart that rorover
Is treo from the uoild's fcelflsh rust,
ud tho Poul uhohohtgh, noblo endeavor
Is toralso fallen man Trout tho dust;
nd when In ndierslty's octati
A Icllm Is likely to drown,
Ml halt to the friend wIiomj devotion
Will lift up a mau when ho'-s "dowu."

was tlat of creatures rcociubllni; lm

without hair, which lay unugly upon
their back, from tho top of the shoul
ders lo tho calves of their legs. Their

curious speculations t.s lo tho naltiro of

Imagination of tho hoaxer expanded as
ho got well Into tho subject, and tho
latter part of his dls.-ertatlon Is a nar
rative of wonders which would have
found Utile credence had It not been
for tho Ingenious manner in which they
cro Introduced.
Tho full details of Sir John Her-
Kehel's marvellous dlscovcrks wero not

fhero wero persons who doubted thu

and samuwliut acrimonious dispute was
carried on for somo tlmo between tlio
credulous and tho skeptical eoncernln

oral verdict of tho peoplo and of the
pits.s was lu favor ol accepting them as

told with such wonderful miuuteiusj
and such downright candor as to dii'
arm thu liititdulom for tho time. It I
i ruo that tlio hoax, read at tiia prisnt
day, niipfarti so full of crudilies, c intra
dictions, and lnipo-,lbilitU'.s that, in
the light of our pro-unt knowledge, it
would hi) picked to pieces by a school
boy. L icke, Indeed, carried his juko to
tho most exliemo limits, and Imposed
on tho careles-nc.ss of Iho public In the
most reel.liss way. In one plnco he

Thu West Indies comptlfo about a
thousand Islands, strung In two strands
across tho Gulf of Mexico, from Flori

Wo nro now Invlled by tlio freo will
of an Independent people, possessing
tho greater mid better part of San Do
mingo, to consider 'Whether wo Bhrtll

savo Cuba, is tlio largest, fairest, and
most fertile of tho islands of tho gulf.
It measures seventeen thousand five
hundred square miles j it Is ricli in gold
and silver, copper nnd tin, Iron and
lead, coal nnd silt. The picclous metals
oiicj yielded at tho r.do of f:)0,0UD,U00

are covered and adotnid svlth magnifi
cent forets of innliogntisr, satin-wood,
llguumvltiu, palm, and many other va
rieties of high value. Ships havo sailed
from tlio island built of lu timber. .Ma
hogany trees aro found which, lauded
In Boston, New York, 1'hiladolphla,
St. Louis, or Cincinnati, would bo worth
from llvo to ten thousand dollars each.
Tlio soil Is exceedingly fertile, produc
ing sugar, cstton, eollVc, indigo, rice,
tDli.iccj, and other tropical staples
which havo becomo articles of common

St. Mcry, a French author, In hisnblo
and exhaustive book on tlds part of
San Domingo, published in tho last
century, estimates that thero might
havo hi en then stabll-hed, on lands
well adapted ti lis growth, moro than
ouo thousand sugar plantations, cm-
ploying over two bundled thoujaud
hands. Tho sugar cauo grows and
yields fruitfully for six years without

" The colleo tree lloiirbhos well lu

which is good in almost every part of
tlio Island, sometimes equals that of

" C'icu.i is also a native, and Is fjund

We might pio.luco on tho soli of tlio

and this would restore to us Iho balance

In IStiJ 01 say :
" In this clltii.it) of iiicos-nnt product

They cost nothing but tho troublo of

''Agriculture may bo so managed as
to Boeuro a complete circlo of monthly
harvesting for tho entire year.
" Plenty or fruits, two or thrco kinds

Tlio pamo author says that " a shnrt

"Tho most manly workers I havo

But thero Is another element of value

We especially commend tlio following
extract to tho thoughtful study of tho
young. Aotlitng is so di-gusting nnd
repugnant to tho feelings of tho noblo
and good as to hear the young, or even
llfb old, tiso profane, losv or vulgar Ian
guago. Tho young of our towns arc
particularly guilty of profanity. In our
day it somns tho " boy " does not fool
lilimell a "man" unless ho can excel
In this great sin. "Wo would guard
young agidns: I'm uso of overy woiil
that Is not sti e.y piopcr. Use no pro

that will put to blush the most sensi

you will find nt your tongue's end somo

Iiilcrcsllng About San Domingo.
Tho Now York Standard informs us
that "Holy Sabbath" Is tho translation
for Santo Domingo,, tho possession of
which Is now B'vlnf? u so much
thought.
It wcro Idle to go qver tho old hlsto
rlcs nnd recount tho stories of great and
precious treasures which raoMlio eyes
of tho c.walters of Spain who went out
to tho island In tho different voyages of
Columbus for tho purposo of searching
fur gold. Ill thoso days, If wo credit
cofeinporary history, Santo Domingo
In tho precious metals wa3 tho richest
of all tho lsics In tho'Carlbbcan,
Tho Spaniards found largo quantities
of gold, silver, copper, lead nnd Iron,
nnd lliclr descendants "continued to
work tho mines until a comparatively
recent period' If tradition and actual
exploration are to bu trusted, its-mineral
wealth Is almost fabulous.
As to soil wo find thai tho best In
formed Spaniards rated it abovo that of
Cuba. Tho Admiral svho commanded
Ihe ships of Ferdinand and Isabella lu
theso seas Columbus himself thought
it thu best of all tho Islands; and as nn
evidence ,of tho belier, built tlio first
town lu the Nesv World at San Domin
go City. Ho erected u fort there also,
and last, though not least, encouraged
tho erection in this simu locality of tho
first tomplo to tho Most High on tho
American continent. It was In that
old church that tho rcmalns.of Colum
bus reposed for many years after their
removal from Vulladoled, and until
Spain lost her domlulon over tho island,
San Domingo Is in shapo somosvhat
like, u huge turtle, svlth head protrud
ing and feet oxtcadod. Its locality for
all mirimacH could not bo better posi
tioned, for It lies! on, tho track of nil
vessels going. to Brazil and tho Azores,
to Venczuln, Panama, St. Thomas and
Quiann, nnd 1 passed by all vessels go
ing from Southern Luropo or boullt
America to Mexico, Panama and tho
Southern United States. Its area may
bo said to bo approximately 00,01)0
square miles or thereabouts. It Is al
most ns largo as all Nesv l-.nglatul,
whllo Its present population docs not
number moro than lGO.OOO to 173,000.
F.nergotlc men and well directed means
aro alono required lo mako It again, ns
lu (ho olden time, tho most prosperous
and nourishing of all tho West Indies.
As lo tho woods, they are tho most
valuable in tho svorld. Thero aro nu-
L'merous streams running through Iho
Island, and along their banks, ns well
as upon tho hillslopes, aro to bo descri
ed llvo oak, palm, mahogany and overy
species of dyo woods. Tho harbors nro
numerous aud of great capacity. That
of Samana la largo enough to lloat all

Men Wild Win Women. Gotl has so
mado tho sexes that women, llko chil
dren, cling to men; lean upon them for
protcctlou, caro and los'o; look up to
them a though they wero superior in
mind and body. They mako them tho
sun of their system, and they and their
children revolve around them. Men
aro gods, If they but knew It.
Women, therefore, who havo good
minds and puro hearts, want men to
lean upon. Think of their reverencing
i drunkard, a liar, a fool, or a libertine.
I a man would have a svoraan to do
.inn homage, ho must bo manly In every
5eiisc; a true i,cniieuiati, not aiier too
Cbesleifield school, but polite, becau
his heart Is full of kindness to one, In
eiuso. sho is ii sioman ; ssho nover con-
descends lo say silly things to her ; svho
brings her up to Ids lovel, If his mind
Is above heii-; ss ho never yields to temp
tatlon even If sho puts it In his way;
who is ambitious to mako his mark in
tlio world, whether she encourages him
or not ; svho Is nover familiar with her
to tho extent of belngnn adopted brother
or cousin ; svho Is not over careful about
dress; always pleasant and considerate,
but alss'as keeping, his placo as tho
man, tho head, and never losing It.
Such deportment, with noblo princi
ples, a good mind, energy, and Indus
try, will win any woman In tlio world
svho is wortli svinniiig.
