The European and Cuban despatches which your fathers and brothers eagerly
read and talk about at breakfast every morning, are _history_. Not dried
and pressed between the covers of a school-book, with all the life and
spirit taken out of it; but history warm and palpitating with life;
telling of things which happened yesterday, and are happening to-day, and
which we all fear or else long for to-morrow.
Every American with the blood of a patriot in his veins is longing to
hear to-morrow that _Cuba_ is free, and that _Crete_ is safely restored to
the arms of Greece. This will happily close two of the most thrilling
chapters in the history of modern times.

JUNO.
Juno was the cat. We all knew perfectly well that there never had been
such a cat as Juno. Not that she was so fine-looking, or so expensive. She
would never have taken a prize at a cat show, unless it might have been
the booby prize.
