was given. The young man rose, ndic,
nantly, and Withdrew. That young maG
was the son Of tie King Of the Sandwich
Islands, and Is now himself the rciguing
monarch. Uncle Sam is yearniug for
those beautiful Islands, needs them for II
great Pacific depot where the whalcrs and
merchants can deposit their cargocs and

Hudson-upon the vacaut throne. His
hatred Of Americans, was then eukindied,
burns deep, and will never be exiinguish-

splendid dominions will be beyond our
reach, or pass into the possessions Of an
other power Little did those American
passengers think when they turned up
their ariS'ociatic noses at the colored
youth, that they were creating an obstacle
to our acquisition Of the Sandwich Islands
Bat 50 it proved, and this should Instruct
Us that needless insult shoul never be
offered to tue most humble individual, for
the time may come when those same indi
vidulls will be placed in positions to do US
much harm. And if not, We do ourselves
much harm in treating any otherwise than
kindly.

again LOT 10 do IT, but he was incXorab.e.
He finished the cruel instrument, but at
the very first stroke at his horses he hit a
buckle or some hard substance. breaking
of small fragment of the wire, which

There is much sound philosophy in the
following brief extract from an editorial
in the New York Tribune:
Life is short; and that portion of it
which one human being devotes to iujur-
