His mission, from the first, we regarded as of evil omen, and his acts have unhappily justified our worst apprehensions. He seized the first occasion in fact, the occa sion was of his own creation to perpetrate a wrong upon us to which puny nations alone would. submit with impunity. If England and France think proper to endorse this wrong if they send their vessels to the coasts of Cuba to protect the authorities there in the wanton out rage which has occurred in the instance of the Rlack '.Warrior onr duty will be too clear to admit of a doubt uiion the subject. Rut when we mention England and France we do not in-. elude Englishmen aud Frenchmen. W e believe that the day that either of those powers in volves itself in a war with this country the beloved of all countries by the masses will be a fatal one for those who administer its afiairs. Enlightened civilization everywhere is the. un compromising friend of liberal institutions, as it is the implacable enemy of autocracy and au tocratic tendencies. Its influence is too pow erful to be resisted, as may be seen in its tri umph over all the sovereigns of Europe, by the Czar v himself the idolized of despots. The governments of England and France would not interpose in the Eastern question until tbe peo ple of Enirland and France told them, in em- phatic language, tbey must do it! It is a mis take to suppose that any credit is due to the one or the other of those governments for the warlike demonstrations which they are making inTHie Raltic and Rlack seas against the great champion of reaction in continental Europe. Imperative necessity, if not absolute self-preservation, caused them to yield to that potent arm which not unfrecpuently demolishes thrones public opinion. In any just fight which we may have with Spain, that arm is as certain to be uplifted against the enlightened, so-called, Colossus, who pronounces knowledge to be "in compatible with orderly government." It is evidently our duty to begin to prepare for the worst. We must demonstrate to the good of every land those entertaining seuti ments. kindred to our own in an unmistakable manner, that we have not only a good cause, but that we are so prepared that, with God's blessing, we shall be enabled to maintain it. We should thus contract an alliance more for midable to onr enemies than any ever contracted between crowned heads for the repression of political liberty! -Washington Union. The new Cent. - We understand, says an exchange that the pro posed new cent is to be of white metal, resem bling silver in appearance, with a round and slightly raised edge. It is about eight tenths of an inch in diameter, larger than a -quarter eagle, and less than a twenty-five cent piece.

'I regret it, madam. The disease which threatens you must be treated with energy, and makes it necessary that I should see you almost every day.' '1 mnst take apartments in Paris, then!'

'When?' would the lady inquire. 'Very soon,' the doctor would reply. 'Waif a little longer, and he would place si new pair of colored spectacles upon her nose. This treatment made the fair patient grow nervous, and one fine morning an idea popped into her head, and she formed it purpose which she resolved to carry into effect without delay. hhe ensconced her head within a 'shocking Imu black bonnet ; drew a dilapidated dress about her; ilung a miserable shawl across her shoul ders ; put old and crumsy shoes on her feet, and with a faded umbrella in her hand, start (1 fur her physician's office. She had been careful to conceal her dark hair beneath bunds of flaxen hue, and dye her eyebrows and keep her face half hidden within tufts of antiquated ribbons and artificials in her bonnet. A lover's eyes would have been deceived by the change. Thus accoutred she went to the physicians, who naturally enough let her wait for her turn. When it arrived she passed into his cotc-ul-tation room with trembling steps, while her bended form and faded garments bespoke her a quite poor. old woman. 'What is the matter, my good woman?' in quired the doctor. 'Sore eyes, dear doctorshe replied iu a shrill voice. 'Let ns see,' he exclaimed.
