A sweet reeling of nloiiuiolioly plcssuro
Spreads over us, ns tlio twilight of this
beautiful Sunday eve approaches to dark
ness. Olir Inliids ltnlurally refer to the
tholihecnlilo tablets of memory, and read
from tiicin tlio good or had that lias trans
pired during Oto week that linn Just passed
away from us forovor. Tlio Inquiry arises
til our minds, lmvo wo so lived that theto
Is no regret for tho notions of tho past

poor nmiclcti creatures In our midst to
whom wo Itavo administered tho dll of
consolation to their troubled tnludB, or tho
balm of healing to tliolr bodies diseased?
If so yVo surely hnvo much to rnnko us
happy, in tlio thought of having donoono
good action. .On tho contrary, has it been
Iti ouFpowor to afford rcllof to somo poor
crcnturo, and wo hnvo “passed by on tho
other siapn nml rendered no ofslstanco
either to body or mind? If so wo have
much causo for regret, and surely cannot
.liccoutcntcd until we have done something
good to erase tho thought from tho tablet
of memory. If any human thought can'
bo compared to tlio omenntlons of Divini
ty it is certainly that of tho poets prayer,
“Teach mo to feel anotheV'a woe,
To tihlo tlio fault I hoc,
That mercy I to others show*,
That mercy show to me.”
For kilulness rendered to a poor BUlfercr,

wanderer, seduced in youth from the path
of rectitude by. the evil influences flint sur

he wishes to return to the paths of virtue;
will you take him by tho hand, treat him
as a friend, a brother, ndvlsowlth him,
console him, pray with and for him, and

make him a useful man, an ornament to
society? Or will you, in 3'our proud heart,
scorn him from you, treat him with un-
kindness, and indifference, and thus drive
him* deeper in sin and shame? What a
beautiful sentiment was taught us Vi’ the
divine Muster, when the woman who had
.sinned was accused and brought before
him. “He that hath no sin let him cast
the llrst stone.” “Go and sin no more.”

Washington, September 8.—The Cu-
h\!is have the following to the 20th uit: A
reeonnoitering force of seven hundred men
from.Puerto Principe has beeu defeated.
Jt is reported that Puerto Principe isabah
doned, the Spaniards having retreated to
Neuvitas. Yalnmmla’s forces moved from
Ia>8 Tuims nnd attacked the Cubans, who
were concentrating in that vicinity under
Quesada. Valamzeda commanded the
Spaniards. Ills forco was composed of twen
ty llvehiindred rcgularsaud fifteen hundred
volunteers. Tho engagement lasted four
hours. The Spaniards were repulsed with
heavy loss. The Cuban loss is one hun
dred. Valamzeda found refuge under the
fortifications of Los Tunas, which Qucsa-
.da,without artillery, was unable to attack.
A fight is reported iu Puerto La Maude,
in which the Spanish force, over seven
hundred, was defeated. It is stated that
after the first fire tho troops deserted eu
masse to the Cubans, when the officers
were captured and paroled by Jordan.

cheek or removal of the ruinous habit of

a falling oil' iu their consumption would

The British Press on Cotton,
Tlio British press continues to be very
much exercised about tho supply of cot
ton. Every day or two there are leading
articles and nny amount of correspondence
on tlio subject, nnd there is hardly any
coneoivnblo plan forincrcnslng the produc
tion of tho raw material tlmt 1b npt dis
cussed. Tlio insuflleicnt supply is termed
? . calamity, nnd is said to bo owing to nn
ncrcasc or tho consuming power fit a time
when tho raw mntcrlnt is decreasing, A
writer-in tlio London Timcs.tnkos a Vory
sensible view of tlio matter when ho nrgucs
tlmt tho true way .to increnso the produc
tion of cotton is for thonmnufncturersnnd
capitalists of England to oo-operato vglth
tho grower. That is, wo suppose, to em
ploy tlietr capital in councctlou With tlio
labor of tho planters in order to stlinuinto
a larger growth. Tills writer remarks,
too, tlmt it would bo folly for tho Ameri
can planters to grow five millions of bnlcs
at doublo tho expense of land aud labor
wlich tho same profit can bo realized from
hnlf that amount. Bnt where are tho
English mnnufucturors and capitalists to
uso tliolr money in co-opemtlon with tho
growers? India and other countries lmvo-
neon tried, and a vast amount of capital
1ms been sunk in tho experiment. There
is, however, one placo in tho world where
raising cotton is not an uncertain experi
ment, and whoro planting novor fails to bo
successftil nnd profitable. In obr South
ern States there is a vast area of cotton
lands yet uncultivated. If tlioro woro
capital and InbTn enough tori millions of
hales or more could bo raised. This is tho
country, then, for tho British to Invest in
