IN SPAIN WHEN PEACE
COMES.
The COD di ti ton of t (Fairs in Spain is
appalling; renn of thousand* of mm
have beeo forced out of employment by
the cruel hardship of ?ai; their fam
?lies are rapidly nearing ihe verge of
starvation, and if nobilities are contin?
ued enoch longer the pe<>ple nf Spain
?iii be plunged into the lowest depths
of misery aod despair To rescue
these ionooent throngs frem the tor
tores of famine following a war which
they have bad no part io making may yet
beoome one of the self assumed mis
stone of ?merioan oharity. Spain,
having once besought American relief
for the perishing victims of her tyr
ranous misrule io Coba, may in the
fullness of the time accept it grate-oily
in behalf ot the famishing thousands on
her.own soil Let her be assured 'hat
it ia hers to commaod.
However ?trange it may seem at first
glance, it is by no means oakside the
domain of the probable. The Amtr
loan people have no malice towards the
Spanish masses Their ignorance,
poverty and helplessness are not their
fault. They are the victims, not the
creators, of conditions. Many gener?
ations of heartless oppression, of mer
oilers taxation and < fficial robbery, to?
gether with the systematic dosing of
their minds to the light ot knowledge,
have brought them to a state that com?
mands uhr pity aod exempts them from
our animosity -Spartan borg Herald
Good counsels observed are chains
of grace.-Kulier.
Anger begins in folly and ends in
repentance -Pythagoras.
Action may not always bring hap
pines?; but there is no happiness
without action -Disraeli
We aie ?ever so ridiculous by the
qualities we have, as by those we
affect to have -Rochefoucauld
He who establishes his argument
by noise and command, shows that
his reason is weak-Montaigne
Prosperity is a great teacher; ad
versity is a greater Possession
pampers the mind; privation trains
anu strengthens it -Hazlitt
William Bonny, who accompanied
Stanley on his African expedition for
the relief ot Emin Pasha, and who
was the only white officer of the. ill
fated rear column who survived to
join his leader, is dying of consump
tion in a London working house in?
firmary. A subsetiption has been
started to secure bim more comforta?

the hardships suffered on the march
