THE COTTAGE DOOR
AlALcoMB

How sweet the rest that labor yields
The humble and the poor,
Where sits the patriarch of the fields
Beside his cottage door
The lark is singing in the sky,
The swallow in the caves.
And love Is beaniing in each eye
Beneath the summer leaves.
The air, amid his fragrant bowers
Supplies Impoverished health;
And hearts arc bounding mi the flowers
More dear TO him than wealth.
Peace, like the blessed sunlight, plays
Around his humble cot,
And happy nights and cheerful days
Divide his lowly lot
And when the village Sabbath bell
Rings out upon the gale,
The farmer bows his head 10 tell
The music OF lis tale
A iresher verdure seems TO fill
The fair and dewy sod,
And every inian, tongue is still
To hear the word of God,
Oh, happy heart, 10 him who stills
The ravens when they cry,
And makes the lilly meath the hills
So glorious to the eye
The trusting patriarch prays TO bless
His labors with increase
Such ways arc ways Of pleasa0lness,'
And all such paths are peace.

For the Herald
LINES ON THE DEATH OF MISS SUSAN Gee.

ThOurt gone, dear cousin, never
Shall we behold thee here
For we have given the last, long look
And shed the farewell tear.
Ay, thonrt gone-thy voice is hushd
TO every thing below
And closed thine eyes, no more TO wake
To earthly pain wo.
Oh 1t was hard 10 gaze on thee,
From lingering day TO day,
And watch each health tint; once fair
Fade by disease away.
But il was harder still, to hear
Thy cries of Deep distress,
And feel how vain was earthly power
TIE soften its excess.
Yet still when sorrow and despair
Their pail around US spread,
Thou ddst amid its deepened gloom
a heavenly ustre She'd
For thou vert reconced to pass
The shadowy vale of death.
And praised the great RedeemeI's name
Fen 10 thy latest breath.
SO now amid the white rob'd throng
Around tie throne above,
Thou sng'st the never ending song
Of Gods Eternal Lore. MALcoMB,
Rutland Feb. 9th, 1911.

At the desire of the chiefs of Nukahiva
of the Washington Islands, Capt. Forrest,
of the U. S. Ship St. Louis, supplied them
with National Flag, which they received
with great satisfaction. 1t is the same with
the American, with the exception of there
being but one star, in the place of the 26
of that of the Republic.
While at Tahiti Capt. Forrest exerted
himself successfully to put stop to the cru
el treatment which American seamen fire.
quently suffered from the constables and
judges, under the pretence of executing the
law that no seaman shall be allowed to re-
main on shore after o'clock, p. NJ. The
natives, not content with simply sczing
them, and securing the fine, knocked them
down with clubs, and otherwise maltreated
them. Other instances of arbitrary and un-
just treatment to American citizens had oc-
Cured, which were properly noticed, and
the Queen and chiefs were plainly told, that
the American government asked for her cit
liens no rights or privileges not enjoyed by
those of other countries, but such they must
equally share, and any future cases of inius-
tice, or partial treatment would not be over
looked by the President of the United States.
Notwithstanding the laws prohibiting liquor,
it was brought on shore and sold in great
quantities, to the serious injury of natives
and foreign seamcn.

We have received files of the Sydney
Herald up to Jan. last. They are mostly
occupied with business details, which with
politics appear to throw all other matters in
to the shade. The increase of that and the
neighboring colonies is almost unparalleled.
Their harbors TEEN with shipping, and the
papers with advertisements. Judging from
the Herald an editors business there would
support some twenty Polynesans - but we
are not envious, old Oahu will look up by
and bye, and then we shall have our turn of
good things. New Zealand is rapidly filling

communications from the English, and fired

not at the head of &C, 900 troops had depart
cd for Pekin. The Chinese had attempted
to poison the English troops by poisoning
the tea-but the nefarious attempt recoiIed
upon themselves, and several hundred lives
were destroyed in consequence of the tea
having got distributed among themselves.
Large rewards were offered for the capture
of English vessels, men, stores, etc. Rev.
n. Stanton had been abducted by the Chi
nese while bathing outside of Macao wall,
and carried to Canton. A demand was made
for him, but they refused to give him up
Some petty engagements had taken place,
in which the Chinese we're routed with great
loss. Macao still remained neutral. The
Commissioners, Admiral and Captain Elliot
had started for Pekin, with part of the En-
pcdition, to deliver Lord Palmerston's dcs-
patches themselves, the mandarins having
refused to forward them. BY these de-.
tails it will be perceived that nothing of i'm
portance has yet been done. The Admiral
has thus far acted with great moderation,
but the war promises to be bloody and pro-
tracted. On the part of the Chinese every
expedient to destroy their enemies is attempt
ed, and it seems to be their determination to
accept of no overtures Of peace whatever.
We learn no particulars from Canton be-
yond that it is still in the possession of the
Chinese, and as the newspapers are as yet
published there, we infer that nu bcr of
Americans remain in the city. The blockade
of the port was strict, but the fishermen were
allowed to pursue their usual avocation

Officers Of the st. Louis, at DR.. Rockies
country house, in the valley of Nuanu. 1t

enough Of the civilized, to.take the rough off.
The house was tastefully decorated with the
Hawaiian, American, English and French
flags arrayed SO as to present very pretty
effect upon entering, the royal standard of
kamchameha III. Immediately fronting the
door. The raftcrs and posts were prettilv
festooned with shrubbery, the vines of which
dropped gracefully, forming rustic arches
over the viands, which were spread la Pol
ynesia upon the floor. Residents, guests, and
all, laid themselves we'll out upon this occa-
sion, and soon discovered that "baked dog {"
was all that it was cracked up to be. The
entertainment was ample, and if we may be
permitted to judge from appearances, hi ghly
satisfactory to all present.

newspaper has been established at the Bay
of Islands. French emigrants are arriving
in considerable numbers, but nothing like
hostility has occurred. H. b. Nj. Explor-

whaler Compte dc Paris made her appear
ance, having on board fifty agricultural cmi-
grants, and sundry supplies for the new set
clement. Among these were several large
cannon, which, upon Captain Stanley's re-
monstIating with Commodore Lavand, were
not allowed to be landed. The British Hag
had been hoisted, and Mr.. Robinson was
left there as magistrate. 1t is presumed
that France intended to claim the Middle
Island, but in consequence of the British
proceedings that intention may be consider
ed to be abandoned. Everything appears to
have been conducted in u most amicable
manner. Commodore I.avand was particu-

brought as near to Us as Rome; already has
the circumstance begun its influence; al-
ready has it been shown more clearly than
was ever before believed, that the links Of
national sympathy are to be found on each

wants to lie well soldered together. We
have heard Mr.. Webster speak of our an

of brute and barren space, this our country's
