2 A HEART-LESSON. If lovo for your friends In your heart glows warm. Show it; And if, by their lives. They win your admiration, See you do not close your lips. Through jealousy’s dictation, But speak it. If you have a mother dear. And her lips your fain would kiss, Kiss them ! Tis a sweeter kiss to her Than any upon earth ; Do not let her lips be sad With loving kisses' dearth. But press them! T-et your hands be warm to clasp Your loved one’s hands. Why should we have affection. If. with causeless objection. Our lovo we do not show 7 Some have griefs they cannot tell E'en to friends and kindred dear; We do not know how much they need, The loving hand, the gentle deed, Their hearts to cheer. 'Tis said in His Holy Word That he who waterclh Shall himself lie watered; Shed thou the gentle dew of love, Winning men to things above. E’en to Heaven ! Laura Adams Branham. Atlanta, Ga. SOME CUBAN HOMES—CUBAN FOR TUNES—A HIDDEN WORK OF ART—A SMOLDERING VOLCANO. The American in Havana is always anxious to see something of the do mestic life of the people, but it is a curiosity that is exceedingly difficult to gratify. The women of the better class rarely show themselves in public. The disposition to isolate the women is not quite so apparent as in the countries of the moslem, yet it ap proximates it to some degree. The Cuban’s house is his castle, and the stranger is not often permitted to pass its portals. 1 had not been long in Havana before I came upop a fact that illustrates this. Thinking that I could see more of the inner life of the people by becoming domiciled in a private family than remaining at a hotel, I made some inquiries looking to that end. It would seem that in a city of a quarter of a million people it would be easy enough to secure a boarding-place. But a very brief in vestigation sufficed to show that no family of any respectability would re ceive a stranger. In fact, it is rare indeed that they will receive one of their own people, so that the board ing-house as a domestic institution is practically unknown. This, of course, brings about cer tain other customs that differ from our own. 'Die people that have not homes and a family circle of their own must live in some way. But the Cuban lives easily, and if he can not have what he wants, will put up with what he can get. The eniploy , ees of a mercantile establishment of ten live right where their work is. At night they stretch a cot in any vacant corner, not being particular as to privacy. At meal time the table is spread in the public business room. They care not at all how many spec tators they have. The business of i living and the business of mer chandising go on hand in hand. This is a strange contradiction in their customs—the austerity with which they hedge about the privacy of the home ami the publicity they give to every other function of life. Notwithstanding the care with which they keep the stranger out, 1 have been able to see the interior of various Cuban houses, so that I can describe them with some correctness of detail. But first, I will tell you how I saw them. My first experi ence was in Havana, when searching for a boarding-house. My poor com mand of Spanish and consequent-in ability to make myself understood, enabled me to penetrate more than once to the inner sala in the endeavor to make my wants known by panto mine, and when there I used my eyes to the best possible advantage. Again, it was during a morning stroll in Matanzns v ith a party of Americans. Before starting out we had formulat ed a ride that we should enter thro’ every open door and discover whith er it lead. One of these doors, inad vertantly standing open, led directly into a very elegant residence. In the gala a lady of some thirty years was playing with a couple of bright-eyed children. The lady catne nearer to my ideal of the typical Cuban beauty than any other I have seen; of good form, fair height, with black eyes and hair, and with an olive complexion not spoiled with powder. While our *• only means of communication was pantomime, the lady was of quick wit and soon discovered that we were Americans, and inquisitive. With many smiles and bows, and now and then a little laugh that showed two rows of white teeth she conducted us 'about the house with all the grace and courtesy that she could have ex tended to invited guests. My third experience was in the residence of a Spanish Don, whither I was taken by the courtesy of an American friend who has been long a resident of Havana. While these of which I have spok en, and other residences of the bet ter class may differ somewhat in de tail, they follow a given plan with much greater fidelity than do our American homes. The exterior of the houses is not often inviting or even pleasing to the eye. Standing immediately upon the street, with doors and windows closed, and with no attempt at variety or decoration, they are not to be told from the shops or warehouses that adjoin them. Passing over the threshold one is first in a bare entrance hall. That is only a passage-way and store-room for the family carriage. There is but one entrance so the house, and it serves every purpose. The horse and carriage enter here as well as the family. The carriage remains, while the horse is led on through the house to his stall at the rear. Beyond this hall and separated from it only by a half-door or perhaps a wicker gate is the sala or the reception-room, the sitting-room of the family. This room is generally a pleasant one, having a tiled floor, a sky-light above, (for it is in the centre of the house and consequently can have no win dows) and is adorned with statuary, with flowers, and with vases of green tropical plants. In the centre of the floor is a rug (I have not yet seen a carpet in Cuba), and upon each side of the rug are arranged rows of rock ing chairs facing each other. These rockers are of willow or cane, and al ways of one pattern—a pattern that 1 have never seen anywhere else; and this formal arrangement of the chairs is so.absolutely universal that I doubt that any Cuban housewife would have the courage to vary it in any degree. There are no doors, as we know them, between the rooms, but light half-doors that come neither to floor or ceiling and so hardly obstruct the free passage of air. The bed-rooms are upon cither side of the sala and opening into it. The kitchen and household offices are at the rear. The kitchen is guiltless of a cooking stove, and I doubt if there is a chim ney in the Island, for of course fires are never required for heating pur poses. The cooking-range is merely a stone slab into which small open grates arc set. In these a handful of charcoal is placed, the cooking uten sils set over this—and as for the smoke, it blowcth where it listeth. Even the best of these homes ap pear to the northerner as rather sparsely furnished and have a, cheer less, unhome-like look. As I have said, there are no carpets and very little upholstered furniture. There is no paper or other bangings upon the walls. There is not much of that endless array of bric-a-brac, either, to clutter up the rooms. In some of them, however, are art treasures of great value : paintings, statuary, rare old books and manuscripts that would make the antiquarian’s mouth water. But not so much of this as form erly. The insurrection laid waste many a noble home and fortune, and dispersed their treasures amongst the pawn-brokers of Campobello street. Before the insurrections there were colossal fortunes among the Cubans; some traces of these can yet be found. The Case Espanql—the Spanish Club of this city, holds forth in the former palace of a Cuban sugar prince, and it is a palace worthy of royalty both in extent and finish. Upon the Prado arc the ruins of a huge build ing which never went beyond the first story. It occupies a whole block, and this first story is massively built of stone. But it has stood as it now is for twenty years, for the for tune tiiat was to have made it the most magnificent residence upoii the Island, melted away before the hot breath of the Insurrection. 1 have spoken of these art treas ures in general—but I may bo per mitted to speak of one in particular which 1 was privileged to see, with out entrenching upon private confi dences. This is a painting that is not less notable because of its history than from its intrinsic worth. In the home of the Senorde Salgado, an of ficer of the Spanish Navy, is an un doubted Rembrandt of great value. The title of the picture is, “The Aus trian Duke of Guell Cursing His Fa ther Through the Bars of His Pris on.” This is the property of the Se nora Thuresita Soule de Salgado, a grand-daughter of Pierre Soule of Louisiana, one time United States’ Minister to Madrid and afterward Fi nancial and Diplomatic agent of the Confederate Government in Europe. During his incumbency of his post at Madrid there was an insurrection of some magnitude in the city and Soule was fortunate in being able to afford Queen Christina protection in the American Consulate. Sovereigns do not reward such services lightly, and as a token of gratitude she gave Soule this painting. Upon his re turn to this country from Madrid he THE CHRISTIAN INDEX: THURSDAY APRIL 28, 1892. brought it with him and placed it in his home in New Orleans. This was in 1854 or 1855. Here it remained until the dark days of the Civil war, when it was taken to Mexico for safe keeping. At the time of the Phila delphia Exposition, an effort was made to secure the loan of the pic ture from the heirs of Soule, but without Success. An offer of 860,000 was also then made for the picture, and refused. And now it is hidden from the world behind the barred windows of a salon in this tawdry and faded Spanish capital. The story of this picture is a ro mance. It is but one among ten thousand of the romances and trage dies that the city and Island have known. But the greatest tragedy romance of all is that of the smolder ing hatred that always exists here be tween the slaves and their masters— I mean between the Cubans and the Spaniards. I have spoken of the Case Espinol, the Spanish club. It is rich and powerful, numbering more than two thousand members, and has possessed itself of the palace of a ruined Cuban. Since its conversion into a club-house probably no Cuban has ever entered it. The Cubans of Havana have also a club—but no club house. It is in little matters of this sort that the contrast between the two classes is shown to be an ir repressible conflict. It smoulders— and they buy and sell together, and smile and smirk and shrug and say polite nothings. But they laugh about the edge of a volcano. There are many acts of the Spaniard that the Cubans find it hard to forgive or forget; but of all the crimes that have ever been perpetrated on this fair Island under the name of law and government, none can compare with the execution of the eight Cuban students to satisfy the demands of the Spanish Volunteers on the 27th of November, 1871. That awful day will never be forgotten and the time will come when the murder of those gallant boys will be revenged. I have talked with many Cubans upon it, and though twenty years have passed since the deed was done I have yet to find one who could speak of it dis passionately. Yet that was but one incident of that long “reign of terror” during which more than five thou sand Cubans were tried, condemned and executed for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” AV hen one think*, upon these things, and then watches the busy, careless, insouciant life of the city, he can only wonder at the marvellous characters of these South rons, and look on as we do at the play, where mimic tragedy and bur lesque follow each other in rapid suc cession. „ James Knapp Reeve. WHY HE GAVE SO MUCH. AVe have a beautiful illustration of the blessedness of giving, in the story of a merchant in St. Petersburg, who maintained several native missiona ries in India at his own expense, be sides giving liberally to the cause of Christ at home. AVhen some one asked him how he could afford to give so much, he replied as follows : Before my conversion, when I served the w orld and self, I did it on a grand scale and at the most lavish expense. And when God, by his grace, called mo out of darkness, I resolved that Christ and his cause should have more than I had ever spent for the world. And, as to giv ing so much, it is God who enables me to do it; for, at my conversion, I solemnly promised that I would give to his cause a fixed proportion of all that my business brought in to me, and every year since I made that promise, it has brought me in about double what it did the year before, so that I easily can, as I do, double my gifts for his service.” And why should it be thought at all strange that this man should Ipve given so much? Was he not simply doing not only what he agreed to, but what it was his duty to do? Whose was his money, anyhow ? It certainly did not belong to him. It was God’s gift, entrusted to his stew ardship, and he was really bound to dispense it, according to the wisdom that God gave to him. Many Christian people have queer notions about the property that they hold. They act as though they were the absolute owners of all they hold in possession, and as though they had a right to do just as they please with it, without being at all accountable to anyone. Now, that man took the only right view of his possessions, and the consequence was, ho gave as God prospered him; and God did prosper him, not only temporally but spiritually. Ho gave largely, be cause God gave largely to him. It was blessed for him to give, for oth ers besides himself, were blessed. C. 11. WeTHEKBE. ©Tie DELIGHT IN GOD’S HOUSE. Lesson for May 8,1892. Scripture Lesson : Psalm 84:1-12. Motto Text.—Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. Psalm 84:4. inteoducticn. It is not known, now, who wrote this Psalm; but it was probably writ ten by David at Mahanaim, during his exile from Jerusalem at the time that Absalom rebelled, and was dedi cated to the sons of Korah, a Levit ical family of singers, and who also were “keepers of the gates of the tabernacle.” (1 Chron. 9:19.) Some think that one of the sons of Korah wrote it, and expressed the feelings of David and his companions when they were in exile. The writer is at a distance from- God’s house, and yearns for its worship. The Psalm is full of sweet memories and joyous hopes. A BRfEF ANALYSIS Will show us the scope of the Psalm. 1.1. How amiable are thy tabernacles 0 Lord of hosts! 2. My soul lougeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my llcsh crieth out for the living God. 3. Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a neat for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God, Being absent from participation in public worship, the author states how dear to his heart is the sanctuary of God, and how worthy it is of his af fection. He then expresses his strong desire to enjoy the worship of God there—a privilege denied to him, but enjoyed by unconscious birds. 11. 4. Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will still be praising thee. 5. Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. <1 Who passing through the valley of Baca make, it a well: the rain also filloth the pools. 7. They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appqaretb before God. He dwells upon the happiness of those whose privilege it is to be pres ent in God’s house, and praise him there continually; and then sings of the joy and blessedness of those pil grims, who are journeying to God's house for worship i their love and joy are represented as opening fountains, on their way, in the dreary valleys; but, as they proceed, they gather fresh Aftheir jojirney, and every one th thwffi reaches the. aim of his pilgrimage, hnd worships God in his temple. 111. 8. O Lord of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. 0. Behold. O God, our shield, and look upon the face of thine anoiitted. 10. For a day in thy Courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my God tluw to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 11, For the Ixird is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will ho withhold from them that walk uprightly. In a fervent prayer, the Psalmist npw begs that such blessedness may be his. Ho implores God’s protec tion from his enemies and earnestly solicits the divine favor for himself— (by “thine anointed” is meant David himself.) To him the most humble place and position, in God’s sauctunry is preferable to Hying with and enjoy ing the highest honors among wicked sinners. And the reason is, because God is the source of life, joy and pro tection, and he will not withhold from the righteous—those who act uprightly in his sight—any good thing. IV. 12. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trnstoth in thee. Finally, the Psalmist bursts forth into a joyiul and grateful exclama tion—“O, the blessedness!” of “the man”—of any man, —who trusts in God, even though cut off from God’s house! By faith he may commune with God, who is in every place, and he may receive grace and glory, which, like sunshine, are poured upon all the earth. The hope of this di vine blessing should encourage each and all to “walk uprightly,” trusting in God, at every step. This verse is the natural and logical conclusion of the whole psalm.
