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. Cliapol Ttooni TalLw.

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 that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who. from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion.
