During the day Mr.. Webster converscd
freely with great cleaness upon the de-
{. tails of his private affairs, the condition
!. of his farm, and giving out fully his plans
! for its future management. At 5 O'Clock
/ he was seized with violent nausea and
passed considerable dark matter tinged
/ with blood; great exhaustion ensued. The
! physicians then announced Mr.. Webster S
last hours approaching. He received the
announcement calmly and called in all the
females of his family and addressed to
Z them individuality few words of farewell
He then summoned his male relatives and
personal friends, to whom he spoke indi-
syidually few words-refer;ed 10 past re-
latiops and babe them IN affectionate fare
Swell, after calling the riches blessings of

Ewith the following words: 'Heavenly Father,
sforgive my SINS and receive me to thyself

q From II to O'Clock, he appeared very rest

Occurred which led him to think that death
2was near at hand While in this condition
sYsome expressions fell from him indicating
Ethat his mind would remain with him to last
s Mr Webster spoke of the difficulty of dy-
Eng, when DIR. Jeffries repeated the verse
E"Though / walk through the valley and
Eshaddow of death, will fear no evil, foI

intoxicating drinks, on any consideration.
Who then will engage (the prohibition being
taken off in the business Of manufacturing beer or
spirits from ti-root, and according to Mr. Wyllie,
become more industrious? A few might possibly
be driven by necessity to do so, and others of de-
fective principles, be tempted by high wages to
labor awhile. But the majority of those seen
about the dstilley the brewery would be attrac-
ted there by the same influence and for the same
reason that the flies and vemin are found around
the vats of such establishments. They might work
as do the vermin for the means of excitement, but
as well might you call the one industrious as the
other.
So much, Mr.. Editor, for the prospect ofincreas-
ing the industry of the Hawaians by allowing them
to make beer of their ti-roo or to distil spirits
They will either increase an i'll directed industry
which will make them fends incarnate, or they viii
emulate the creeping vermin, more loathsome, in
snuffing the fumes of the vat. Mr.. Wyllie may
choose which horn of the dilemma he pleases. Need
say a word of the profits which would in this way
accrue to the Hawaiian nation?

HAWAIIAN CHARACTER

HAWAIIAN CHARACTER.
Mr.. EDIroR.|I am aware, that in the opinion Of
some people, no confidence can safely be put in
Hawaiians, whatever they may profess.
And am truly sorry, that quite a number, in
clnding some church members, merit this unenvi-
able reputation But do not believe this is their
general character; nor do deem it fair, because
one may have met with some bold villains, and arch
hypocrites, among them, to condemn nation, by
Wholesale.
believe, and long have, that property is as safe
here as in most parts Of the U. S. think more
oyer that in proportion to the light the Hawaiians
have, they are about as much influenced by cor
rect principle, as any other people. l could give
many reasons for thinking as do, in this matter
but viii merely state two incidents, Of which am
perfectly cognizant
As was recently returning from Honolulu, my
saddle bags nearly filed With clothes, and contain
ing $50 in cash. lying loosely onthe horse dropped
off without my observing it 1t WAS in an unin-
habised region, about midway between Eva and
Waialua-
had gone several miles, before missed the
bags. An obscure member of the church of Wal
alua, with whom have but slight acquaint-
ance being on his way to Honolulu, saw them and
presuming they were mine, came back mile or
two to bring them to me;but finding another neigh
Dor, who was coming this way, he committed them
Polynesian. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu], Hawaii) 1844-1864, 1852-01-03

to him, requesting him to return them; and with
out claiming reward, or even pay for his trouble
resumed his journey. Had he been so disposed, /
know of nothing to have hindered him, from taking
the money at least, without any risk of being de-
tected.
Take another instance. A few months since
another member of this church, and who is shrewd
at driving bargain, engaged to take some mel
ons to market for so much apiece. And took them.
But meanwhile the prices fell so that they brought
very little more than the freight agreed on, which
however was not high. When they came to settle
the owner of the melons offered to pay, according
to agreement. No, said the honest boat-man,
The Lord would not approve of my taking that
So he deducted from the freight till the cultivator
was about as well paid as himself-Cascs like
these, may be rare, among Hawaiians, and have
serious fears, that they are no less so among the
far more enlightened inhabitants of other land

Mr.. Edtor,-Pemit me through the medium of
your paper, to wish its patrons "merry christ
mas" and "very happy new year." Although
perhaps, have rather prematurely wished them a
happy new year." yet may it have the effect of
sooner bringing to their minds, the feeling, the
hopes and expectations, that are incident at the
opening of every year. Here, in foreign cline,
thousands of miles from the land that gave them
BIRTH are many who experiencing the difference be-
tween the social and moral improvements and ad-
vantages here and of those at home are led to pause
and consider wherein they have been deficient and
also, wherein they may improve, and enlighten
their own minds. The anniversary of the birth of
Christ, and the dawning of new wear, are times
that are held sacred in every ones breast, who
venerates the memory of the meek and lowly Jesus,
and of the swift elapse of time. A few more ami
versaries like these, and we no more. Would
that we could realize the importance of bettering
our minds and purifying our hearts for the opening
of eternity
Here, then do wish to every one who reads
these lines the cordial hope of happy new year.
Although we may miss the many social and domes-
tic advantages TO be obtained at home, yet let us
consider if by the want of privileges to which we
have been accustomed, we find ourselves in man.
ner deterioratlng from the path which we followed
when at home, we should increase our watchful-
ness, lest in some unguarded moment we fall into
the snare set by the willy adversary.
To the youth, then, let me urge the necessity of
tSalf-
whom at this time particularly address myself,
may not see this article, still may force upon
those who do it, the necessity of moral attain
ments. l often see, Mr. Editor, as pursue my
daily avocations many young men, who, brought
up at home under the watchful eye of the father,
and prayerful solicitude of the MOTHER and who,
familiar with the sound Of the "church- going bel
giving up all restraint, and allowing themselves 70
be hurried on through the broad road that leadeth
to death. While others, more true to the interests
of their maker evidently are earning for themselves
a reputation and character, of which Solomon says,
$50 shalt thou find favor and good understanding
in the sight of God and man."
Think not, pray you young man, that though
there be no father to restrain, or mother to
advise, though you are not acquainted to any ex-
tent with persons who are intimate with your pa
rents at home, to keep secret those deeds which
would make the blush of shame crimson the cheek
which you would not have tinged even with sus-
picion.
Endeavor, then, to let this opening year be the
year that beheld thee keep the counsels which have
been impaired to thee in thy early days; for who
so wise as he, who can himself control. Once
more then, young man let me beg of you to con-
slider of the rapid movement of times wing for as
the poet says
sour life Is dream
Our time a stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
Yours truly,
HOPE.

SAW HER IN CABBAGE TIME
ADUTCH MELODY.
BY sLOCUM sLUGs, ESQ.
Isaw her first in cabbage time
She was a cutting crout-
She'd stop the cutter, now and then,
To turn head about;
And she'd salt it in a tub,
And stamp it down awhile,
Upon her fresh and rosy lip
Reposed witching smile.
saw her next in Winter time,
And still she gaily smiled;
For there, upon the cooking stove
Her grub was being billed.
Around the huge and greasy pot,
The steam come pouring out,
And from the smell, knew that she
Was cooking ''speck'' and crout.
When next saw her, in the Spring,
She smiled not as before;
heavy weight was on her heart
The crout was call no more''
The pot she used to cook it in
Was eaten up with rust;
The cutter hung upon the wall,
mid spider webs and dust.
I've seen her often, since that time,
When all around was gay
When others laughed and talked the most,
She'd frown and turn away.
Pve watch'd to see a ray ofjoy;
But watched alas ! in vain
never hope to see her smile
Till cabbage comes again!
