The Polynesian, published al
Honolulu, copies into its columns
an account of tragedy not long
since enacted in one Of our South
Western Courts, and solemply warns
its readers against lSpsing into SIM
liar barba,ism. 1t discourses very
seriously upon the state Of society
prevailing in the United States, and
-rejoices in the fact that murder is
of comparatively rare occurrence in
Oahu. This voice from the Antipo.
des should not be disregarded.
Some years since we sent out mis-
sionaries to Cbristianize The Sand
wich Islanders; if they, in turn, find
it necessary to send emissaries to
eiviIize Us, it augurs very little for
the progressive state of morals
Ia this quarter of the globe. 1t is
not at al unlikely that the next
missionary we send to the Feejea
Islands viii rebound. Another CEN
tory may see tRttooed Evangelists
admoaisbins us Of the evils Of our
ways, and urging US TO repentance.

TxuE WIND AND THE SEA.

The sea is jovial comrade,
He laughs wherever he goes.
His merriment shines in the dlmpllng
lines
That wrinkles his hale repose.
He laws down at the feet of the sun,
And shakes all over with glee,,
And the broad backed pillows fall talnt
on the shore
In the mirth of the mighty Sea.
But the wind is sad and restless,
And cursed with an inward pain.
You may bark as you will, by valley
or hill,
But you hear him still complain.
He walls GU the barren mountains,
And shrieks on the wintry sea;
He sobs in the cedar, and means IN the
pine,
And shudders all over the aspen tree
Welcome are both their voices,
And know not which is best
The laughter that slips from the Ocean
lips,
Or the comfortless Winds unrest.
There's q pang in all rejoicing,
A 10Y in the heart of pain,
And the Wind that saddens, the Sc
that gladdens,
Are singing the self-same strain.

We were in a small clearing which b ad been
made before the war broke out, and afterwards
abandoned as hntenable, on account Of the
Indians. Near the middle Of this was the
trunk Of large tree which had been blown
down, and whese roots had taken from the
soil whereon grew an enormous quantity of
earth / placed myself on one side of this
rampant of earth, and my friend on the other,
with the understanding that we should watch
each other during the night. BY making a
small opening through this natural fortfcation
| was enabled to thrust my gun through and
watch the approach of an enemy towards my
friend, and he by similar operation, could
do the same favor to me-
The night was not very dark and objects
could be seen ct a considerable distance. Hav-
ing arranged matters in this manner, we felt
apprehension in regard to surprise. The
hours rolled on. | felt very sleepy and could
hardly keep my eyes open. ....
About midnight my attention was arrested
by a bush which | did not recolIect see
ing in the early part of the night At first
gave but little heed to so slight circumstance
but at length began to fancy that it came
nearer Still 1 StroVe to persuade myself that
the appearance was to be attributed to my
eyes rather than reality. After watching it
for half an hour, l could no longer doubt that
the bush was in motion
l waited with breathless anxiety, until it
was within gun shot Taking deliberate aim,
fred into the bush. 1t fell instantly, and
heard heavy groan
What have you done ?" asked M compan-
ion
a"We will see-in the morning" / replied.
We kept our position until sunrise, for fear
of surprise. Upon examination, we found the
body of a stout Indian lying in pool of coagu.
lated blood under the bush. He had taken
his method to reconnoitre. 1t proved fatal
| have passed through many scenes but
never shall forget the hollow stump and the
moving bush.
