INNOCENCE.
BY N. P. WILLIS.
Bhc rose from her untrou' led sleep
And put away her soft brown hair,
And, in a tone as low and deep
As love’s first whisper, breathed a prayer,
Her snow-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast,
Just swelling, with the charms it hid;
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped a bare and slender foot,
Whose shape upon the earth did press
Like a new snow-flake, white and mute ;
And there, from slumber pure and sweet,
Like a young spirit, fresh from heaven,
She bowed her slight and graceful form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
0, God, if souls unsoiled as these
Need daily mercy from Thy throne—
If she, upon her bended knees—•
Our loveliest and our purest one—
She, with her face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light —
If she, with those soft eyes in teal’s,
Day after day, in her first years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from Thee,
What far, far deeper need have we ?
How hardly, if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven !
[From the Augusta Constitutionalist.]
CUBA—WHAT SHALL WE DO?
Take Cuba, of course ! That's the cry—
the war cry of the present moment among
our Red Republicans. All the hot-bloods
of the country are now catching the spirit
of a porti'm of the press, and their watch
word is, “On to Cuba! ” Poor old Spain,
shorn of all her colonies, has been clinging
on to Cuba, and draining from its indus
tties $25,000,000 annually foi many long
years. Now she must offer the island to
General Grant, to appease the ire of a New
York rabble. And what has Spain done
to incnr such a penalty? Has she insulted
the American flag? Is she responsible for
the brutal outrage perpetrated upon the
unfortunate officers and men on board the
Virginius ? We confess we cannot see how
she ought to be held accountable for the
unpardonable outrage.
If the President of the United States has
adopted the Monroe Doctrine as an article
of his political creed, and is fully bent on
annexing Cuba as a new State, then let
him openly own his purpose ; but for the
sake of common decency, do not let him
and his Cabinet make the present trouble a
pretext for an act of public robbery. The
government of the United States should
understand that highway robbery is a vio
lation of the Eighth Commandment. And
national burglary is as truly robl>ery, though
it may be perpetrated on a targe scale, as
house-breaking or picking .pockets. Cuba
belongs to Spain, and Jamaica to Britain.
Why not invade Jamaica and annex it?
Spain, as a power in Europe, has done
no more to arouse the ire or awake the
ambition of the Cabinet at Washington
than Britain ; but Spain is a weak, decay
ing power—a power, too, in trouble at
home and abro.id—and this might be a fa
vorable opportunity to seize upon her only
remaining colony in the West.
The late Emperor Nicholas of Russia,
at a dinner party in St. Petersburg, took
the British Minister aside and told him that
u poor old Turkey was sick—a dying suf
ferer, better give the okl mana coup de
grace and put him out of pain. ” So the
war-party here look upon poor old dccrepid
Spain as a pining Lop off her last
wing, then give the head a blow, and an
nex Spain herself and thua establish a Re
public on European soil. Not a European
Republic, as in the days of Cromwell, uor
a French Republic of the Thiers type, nor
a Spanish Republic, as of the Castelar type,
but a real genuine American Republic of
the Grant lyi**-—a military Republic—
which may, as all ancient military Repub
lics did, merge iuto a military despotism.
if President Grant can make people be
lieve that they are governing themselves, it
is just as good as self-government, whilst
be is autocrat.
Cuba has long been an object coveted by
American ambi ion, and fllibust rs have
been eaeer to carry into that island theii
miserable hordes of plunderers. W Ith the eye
of a buzzan. the American eagle has been
gorging upon this carcass. Now seems to
be the time when, like harpies, the hosts of
adventurers seem determined to pounce,
upon Cuba, and doubtless they will seize
the opportunity and commit the foul deed.
Rapine and robbery will In* committed to
gratify the morbid appetite of the hungry
crowds in New York and Philadelphia, ho
have nothing to lose, but every chance of
gain by another war.
To steal a barrel of sugar or a box of to
bacco, in New York, would be a Sing Sing
offence against the law of that immaculate
city ; but to steal a whole island of four
hundred miles long and two hundred broad,
with all its sugar ami tobacco plantations,
would be a most meritorious act; just as
the murder of a i>oor cab-man is avenged
by the gallows; but the assassination of
James Fisk, Jr., is a noble deed, and the
genteel rowdy who commits the act is pun
ished by a carpeted flour. ami lace curtains,
and fine mirrors, and various delicacies of
feoct --articles or comfort and of luxury
.heretofore iamtenissible in the Tombs.
Murder ou a small scale is murder; mur
der on a large scale is not murder, it is only
justifiable homicide. So robberv on a small
scale is avenged by the full force of the
penal code, but robliery on a big scale is
highly meritorious
Such seems to la* the ethical code of the
Hotspurs at thia moment
There is, however, another view of the
subject which must not be overlooked.
The President of the United States
knows that ho does not stand particularly
Mgfi in the estimation of the South, and he
so doubt imagines that the conquest of
Cuba, and its annexation at this moment,
atighl be a popular measure. He finds
tieneral Longstreet offering to have 2<XOOO
men from N’*w Orleans, who are ready to
seire Havana, This is a proof of hwalty
W the flag of the Republic; of coutse it is
a purely disinterested purpose on the ;>art
of the gallant General wbo fought so fcar
h’ssly for the South.
If the North and South were now to
unite in the conquest and capture of Cuba.
Ute measure might lead to the interment of
the hatchet, and both aeetioM of the coun
try would smoke lha pipe of peace filled
with the Cuban weed.
U th# South is jireivared to aid or connive
at au act of nathuial burglary, end to as
sist General Grant and his Cabmct iu the
prrpHr-tiun of such a (mil cnonui y, then
she need never again bokl up her face t<.
fore the nation* of tbe civilised globe to
cxanplain of the ravaires of Stv mnm or the
teutalltv of Dana.

We believe in the co-education of the sexes; we limit their association ; they meet
only io the recitation room, except in passing to and from the academy, and during the
snspension of regulations pertaining thereto. Their association to this extent makes
them more attentive to ptrsonal appearance, and more refined in speech. It gives boys
higher feelings of honor, for they dread the opinion of girh who scoff at meanness
littleness and profanity. It stimulates girls to greater mental effort, and makes them
more cajiable of thinking for themselves. It gives boys better ideas of true womanhood.
It gives girls better ideas of true manhood. It elevates both, morally and intellectually.

There is nothing of more importance to
the youth of our country, than a sound
practical education. Indeed it is a mat
ter of first consideration, and in order

Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink,
i ade of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and
Refuse Liquors, doctored, spiced, and sweetened to
please the taste, called •* Tonics,” “ Appetizers,”
" Restorers,’' &c., that lead the tippler on to drunk
enness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made
from the native roots and herbs of California, free
from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the Great
Blood Purifier and a Life-giving Principle, a Per
fect Renovator and Invigorator of the System, car
rying off ail poisonous matter and restoring the
blood to a healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing,
and invigorating both mind and body. They are
easy of administration, prompt in their action, cer
tain in their results, safe and reliable in all forms of
disease.
No Person can tnke these Bitters ac
cording to directions, and remain long unwell, pro
vided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poi
son or other means, and the vital organs wasted
bevoud the point of repair.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache,
Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the
Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach,
Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpi
tation of the Heart, Inflammatien of the Lungs,
Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred
other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dys
pepsia. In these complaints it has no equal, and
one bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits
than a lengthy advertisement.
For Kemnle Complaints, in young or old,
married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or
the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so de
cided an influence that a marked improvement i»
soon perceptible.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
It henmatisnt and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indiges
tion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers,
1 iscases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneysand Bladder,
these Bitters have been most successful. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, whieh is
generally produced by derangement of the Digestive
Organs.
They are a Gentle Purgative as well
ns a Tonic, possessing also the peculiar merit of
acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion
or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs,
and in Bilious Diseases.

n ime or nature, are literally dug up and carried out
of the- system in a short time by the use of these
Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the
most merednlous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever
yos find its impurities bursting through the skin in
Pimples, Eruptions, er Sores; cleanse it when you
find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse
it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when.
Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
Grateful iitonaandH proclaim Vinrcah
BiTTtrns the most wonderful Jnvigorant that ever
sustained the sinking system.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking
in the system of so many thousands, are effectually
destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished phy
siologist: There is scarcely mi individual upon the
face of the earth whose bo<(y is exempt from the
presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy ele
ments of the body that worms exist, but upon the
diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these
living monsters cf disease. No system of Medi
cine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics, will free the
system from worms like these Bitters.
