Original facttg. 1 For the Yorkvillc Enquirer. CIRIOIS LOVE. BY W. W. BBIOQ. There is snch a thing as "curious love," A love with no root in the mind? Is fickle and selfish and not from above, But grov'ling and brutal?unkind. It is a Love made up of strong paasion, Of a kind which moves the dumb brute, Devoid of that life giving union Which cannot the heart e'er salute. It is such that tampers with purity, And entangles it in the snare, In which it is difficult to foresee, Or the strength of its meshes compare.. Which around it as mantles are folded, And when once in their fetters are wound, Is assur'd of its freedom unbounded, When naught but a prison is found. 'Tis a bastile In which the unwary Are 'lured with the lip's outward show, While the heart, like its cells, are too dreary T' have inscrib'd thereon its last vow. This "curious love" is a dangerous art? lr practica Dy cnose who ruguru ( Not the pains of an aching young heart Or the sighs it ushers upward. I When it reflects on the loss it sustain'd At the hands of the curious beau, I Its virtue, now having so wantonly gain'd Transforming the friend?to the foe. j Let all who to virtue obedienoe owe, , And are beckoned by her call, Assuredly feel that their "lovier's" vow Does not their chaste life once enthrall. 1 When they, with their tongues like the serpent, assail ( The lovely in heart?and in form By words that are subtle, and wily?tho' frail 1 Which fall on their ears like a storm, To shake their resolves and gain a foothold In the virgin-like hoart of one Who knows naught o' the sorrow or grief un- 1 told 'Till the mine of her virtue's won.

Mr. Sprague has, within the space of one month leaped from comparative obscurity to the mos honorable distinction yet attained by any moder participant in public affairs. His sudden reputi tion rests on no dazzling display of genius, eithe legislative or oratorical It is simply the tribute c a nation's respect for honesty in a public place I His utterances in the Senate were at first sneere at by his fellow Senators, most of whom doubtte thought themselves the superiors of a mere mast facturer, who was supposed to have gained a plac in the Senate on account of his wealth and his n lationship to Chiet Justice Chase. But the prone est of them now quail before bis unadorned bo searching and practical rebukes of their apathy t and neglect of the financial distresses in the couc try. On the 4th instant, Mr. Sprague rose to personal explanation, and delivered himself as fo lows: "The people of the United States will suspen their judgment on all newspaper articles bearin on me to my disadvantage. The telegraphic sua mary of my recent speech, as well as the report i the Globe, has some material errors. They ma be assured that my words and courage do not re* on wine or whiskey or any other stimulant, bo upon knowledge of the shrinkage of property an the loss of virtue going on around me. My gres anxiety is to effect a cure vote. The remedy i now accessible. A year hence it may be beyon our reach. My leading idea is to correct the cor dition of things of which the following is perhap an aggravated case, but it is an illustration of th condition of the country. A man in Washingto has $20,000 loaned out in sums of $50 to the pool at 10 per cent, per month, secured by chattel mori gages. When the victim is exhausted demand fo payment is made, and in default of payment th property is sold at a quarter or half its value. The plan to correct this, and to place within th reach of every man of ability and industry capiu at a low rate of interest, upon which he can labc and make profits, is the one I have had in vie* and is substantially the one in use in England | Belgium, Holland su J France, the most prospei I our nations of modern times. I wish to adoot tbfi | plan here, and to eschew the plan, the results c which are best exhibited by Spain and Mexioo an the South American States. Mr. Sprague calle attention to the State of Kentucky, which, he said was the most prosperous farming State in the Uni on, because she had adopted a plan similar to ths which he advocated, thus bringing within the reac of the people the capital necessary for the tram action of their business. Speaking of the way i which this plan could be applied to the whol country, he said: This is to be effected by th treasury of the United States, which is first to b made strong in means, and then is to use ths strength on the market to unlock and distribut hoarded capital. The present danger, in my judgment, is greate than when the rebels fired on Sumter and march? almost on Washington. I use no words which ar not properly considered. I have made no attack on individual Senators prior to attacks on me. wage war on legislative and executive power exei cised by this body and on the disastrous results o its action. If any one here or elsewhere attack rae, I shall "move on the enemy's works" to th< best of my ability. Following out this idea I shal undoubtedly antagonise myself to those who ha* been favorites with the people, as was the case ii my last remarks before the Senate, on which semi part of the press have commented adversely. Bu let it be so. I will not longer sit and hear incoi rect statements concerning our condition?conn from whence they may. To cure the evil we mua know its character and not mistake it. Let thos who think I am crazed do as I have done for thre< years past?examine patiently and without preju dice into our exact situation, and I ask those aroum me if there be any substantial difference betweei the opinions I now avow and those I have hereto fore indicated. My present work is to show tha the plan I advise will remedy the evil. This wil take time and investigation. It is as clear 09 th< noonday sun to my own mind; but to prove it lo gically and with satisfactory reasons is the work t be accomplished now. The demand for my several speeches will b speedily met. I have not time to write a word ii answer to the multitudes of letters I have received but I shall send my speeches into every city am town, and on them I stand. The position I haw taken would have failed to effect anything if takei heretofore; but let the people take it now. Tha their action may not have been too long delayed t< effect a wholesome cure, is the wish of the speaker who, being under no obligation to a living persoi for what he is, (except as heretofore indicated, asks for nothing now but to serve his day ana gen eration." DIVORCES IN THE WEST. A correspondent of the Chicago Advance, in dis cussing the question of divorce and its evil result* claims that if the ability to again many was re moved, and a disability made permanent as to both there would be very few divorces. He adds: Let us examine for one moment the manner ii which the law operates. A Mr. A sues for a di vorce. Mrs. A does not appear, default is enter? against her, the case is sworn through, and botl parties are turned loose upon society, with no bel ter reason existing in many cases than "cold feet,1 or a desire which is expressed in Diyden'srespons to his wife, when she wished she was a book, s that she might enjoy moft of his company; "c be an almanac, that I can change you every year.' The following case lately came under my observe tion: A young man married, and residing in on 6 section of the country, removed to another, leaving if his wife behind him. While away, he proposed f1- to a young lady and was by her accepted, and the i- marriage day announced. He returned to his wife, i- spent a few weeks with her, and tenderly bade her adieu, sought the house of his expectant bride, a and married her. A few weeks after the marriage - he obtained a divorce from his absent wife, which, d being discovered by the newly-made one, was made i, the oocasion of a new marriage ceremony, after " ? ? a;-*, j t?i?j wdicd tne now repuaiaieu uusuauu weui uj uw i- home of his divorced wife, who, ignorant of his h conduct, still lives with him, while the other sought b her redress in a court of equity. I think I hear some lawyer say that that could t have been remedied by a personal service of the i- notice. A friend of mine relates the following iny stance as illustrative of the frauds which may he practiced in this precaution, even: A poor, ignoe rant girl unfortunately married to a scoundrel, was e served with a notice informing her that her husa hand would apply for a divorce for adultery?the i- word adultery was "thumbed" in the reading. !- Too ignorant to demand a copy of the notioe, or to seek legal counsel, she asked her husband what it r, meant, and rested satisfied with his assuranoe that d it was nothing dishonorable to her anyhow, until he ordered her to leave his house, assuring her e that she was no longer his wife. "A mother, but i- not a wife," means something not only to the ru[ ined woman, but to the divorced one also. Divorce laws are a bid to perjury, and a constant ofier to i, both parties that they can many again at pleasure; it but with a deal more of "red tape" than at first There are not many instances of divorce in which the plaintiff or defendant have not found out that they could not many happier, and are only wait? ing for a decree of court to do so. A case some what notorious is reported as follows: A young roan married a young woman, and after residing with her some time coocluded that he had made a ;t mistake, and proposed another marriage. Having D means, he sent his wife away on a visit, and while she was gone obtained a divorce. She came back T only to find him the husband of another. Oh 1 ,f what trivia] causes are alleged for the dissolution ,a of an institution ordained by the Almighty as the d first important event after die creation! * CUBA IN THE PAST. e In connection with the present struggle in Cuba ^ the following items of Cuban revolutionary history will be found of interest They are furnished by a lt correspondent of the Philadelphia Press: 0 The first Captain-General was Juan de Tejada, appointed in J 589. The power of the Captain a irenerai is aosoiute; ne is, id tact, (u l may be ailowed to coin such a word), a sab-king. He has the power of life and death at his control; he can 4 send into exile, no matter what may be the poeig tion of the individual; the laws are only in existenoe so long as they meet his approval; be has no n superiors in Spain bat the reigning sovereign, the term of his offioe is uncertaiu, and his object is to jt make all the money he can by the legal taxes, and lt he generally finishes off by some extortion, to ^ which, from the despotic mode of government, the it people have to submit The Cubans being thus g governed only to the advantage of the Captain^ General, their own interest being entirely neglect( ed, have for many years been dissatisfied, and only |8 held in awe by tbe superior number of troops that are constantly patrolling tbe island. D The first outbreak that took place was in 1823. , In this the Cubans, were encouraged by the great ^ liberator of South America, Simon Bolivar, who offered them his aid. e The second took place in the province of Baymo in 1826, headed by Francisco Aguero and his brother. The present Colonel Fernando Aguero, of the e. revolutionary army, is a son of that patriotic young man of 1826. This family has always been a source ,r of trouble to Spain. Living in a district which has [' always been rebellious, they have been foremost in ' the revolts. Two of them suffered with Lopez in r" 1851. f The next and most formidable one was in 1828, ' and known as Ell Aguila Negra, (the Black eagle). , This was in its turn suppressed. . Again Cuba was convulsed with a fourth oul.' break in 1848. This was confined to the provinces l" ofCienfuegos and Trinidad. The leader of this v" was the brave but unfortunate General Narciso Lopez. Many suffered death by the garrote, but Lopez escaped to the United States, and early in D the year 1850 commenced preparations to invade e Cuba, which he did by landing and taking Cardee nas on the 19th of July. The garrison surrender* ed, and the governor and other officials were taken 1 prisoners. The natives failing to rise, he was come nallo/t tn At thi<a time. fV?nch.i. the tv ... ^ , rant, was sent out as captain-general. J Lopez, not discouraged by his two former ate tempts, conceived another, which he pat into execation in 1851. He embarked from the United j States with abont four hundred poorly armed men, and landed near the the town of Las Pazes, on the f night of the 12th of August After two or three g engagements?in which he was successful, but g could not follow up on account of his limited numj bers, and being separated from Colonel Crittenden B ?he was compelled to retreat to the mountains, a where he surrendered to San Cbristoval, on the g 18th, six days after he had landed. He was taken t to Havana and garroted on the 1st of September in the Punta. Thus passed away one of the brave est and most determined enemies of Spain, t The present revolution has been the most forB midable, having been in existence since October. 3 The men who command the insurgents are able. . Quesada served in Mexico against the Freuch. ] The Generals are principally Mexicans, but Cesj pades is Commander-in-Chief and Provisional Pre. sident t Many of the Cubans are fleeing to the United j] States with their families, from fear of the Spanish e troops, who know no law, and do not respect the ? non-combatants. 0 Hates op Advertising in New York. ?Com plaints are sometimes inade by business men as to e charges made for advertising. The following are a the rates in the city of New York. ? In the New York Tribune, 25 cents per line for * each insertion. Special notices, 5th page, 40 cents B ner line, for each insertion. Fancy types and cuts 3 are charged double rates for space oocupied. In 1 the weekly Tribune, the rates are $2 per line for 3 each insertion, and $3 per line for inserting an1 nouncements. The other New York papers 3 charge the same rates with the exception of the ' Herald, which is abont 50 per cent higher. The " business men of New York all advertise extensive* ly and consider even these rates cheap. Removing Foul Air prom Wells.?A ootresk pondent gives us an account of an ingeniously exl' temporized apparatus for removing carbonic acid k from wells. It was simply an umbrella let down l? and rapidly hauled up a number of times in succession. The effect was to remove the gas in a few 0 minutes from a well so foul as to instantly extin[* gnish a candle previous to the use of the umbrella.?Scientific American. 5- AST1 An exchange very happily says: "It is amu" sing at times to observe the stores of the merchants e who don't advertise; to see the anxious proprieo tors looking into the streets, and see the people go ir by, wondering why they don't come in, while the " stores of their neighbors, who do advertise, are i- thronged with customers.
