Trodden Flowers.


There some hearts that, like the loving vine
Cling TO nnkindly rocks and ruined towers
Spirits that suffer and do not rcpine-
Patient and sweet rs lowly trodden flowers
That from the passer's heel arise,
And bring back olorous breath instead of sighs
But there nrc other hearts that will not feel
Tho lonely love that ha,nts heir eyes and cars
That wound fond faith Will, anger worse than steel
T Anu out Of PHYS spring draw idle tears
Nature! shall il ever be thy will
III thing with good TO minglc. good with i'll
Why should the hcnvy foot Of sorrow press
The willing heart Of unctlnplaining love
Meek charity that shrinks not from distress,
Gcntlcness 10th her tyran,s to rrriovc?
Though virtue weep forever nnd lament,
Will one hard heart turn TO her and repent?
Why should the reed b., broken that will bend
And they that dry the tears in others eyes
Feel their own anguish swelling without end.
Their summer Inrkcncd with the smoke OF
sghs?
Sure. Love to some fair Eden Of his own
Will flee AT last, and leave us here alone
Love wcepcth nlways-wecpcth for the past
For woes that are. for woes that ,nny bctidc;
Why should not harl ambition weep at last
Envy nnl hatred. nvaricc and pride?
Fate whispers. 80 low in your lot.
They would be rchcls; love rchcllch not.

The climate is the Highest recommendation
to these lslands-t is truly delightful; the
mercury ranges from G5 to S5 degrees through.
out the year. The soft, balmy brcezes, to per.
suns who have weak lungs, are very cheering
and invigorating. All foreigners of the white
races, who have been on the Islands any length
OF time, become pale, and many have snlow
complexion. The blood becomes thin, the il.
dividual inclined to sedcntary life-,nd my
humble opinion is, that in consequence there.
OF, many become not unlike parson Jenkins :

are many honorable exceptions, both physical,

The cattle and horses ure Of the California
or Mexican breed both of which grow to a
very good size. The bulls and oxen used for
draft and packing, are generally large. There
are many wild cattle in the mountains. The

common grazicr; there are also many Wild
hogs in the mountains There are no griz-

The Sandwich Islands Natives-Ge
Productions Climate oimals, Etc
BY W. ID. Med,

EY W. D. Med.
That the Sandwich Islands were formed by
volcanic cruptions from the earth, is fact
thoroughly demonstrated On one of the
Islands there is, ut the present time, an active
volcano, which continues to boil and roll the
hot lava around, not unlike kettle of boiling
soap; and which, every three or four years.
rises to the summit of the crate, and runs
over, sweeping in its descent everything
man, beast and vegetation. On the other
Islands there are silent critrrs, some of which
arc Of huge magnitude varying from three
to seventeen miles in diameter The crater.
which is seventeen mics in diameter. is Ger
tainly one Of the greatest natural curosities in
the world The clevatiomis about fourteen
thousand feet above the level of the sea and
from the summit of the crater to the lava
cones the crater proper is descent Of
about live miles. This crater has been silent
a. il supposed, for more than five hundred
years; however. this sail conjecture. These
cnncs-twcnty five "r dirty in number are
from two hundred to three hundred feet in
height, and are. i,'slnpc, like sugar loaf !;
they are hollow, having many air holes in the
SIDES The lava looks fresh, as though it had
just cooled few days previous, and that it
might momcntarily be expected to brlch forth
again The beholder is struck as it were with
awe, at the sublin,ity Of this grand and great,
work of the Ruler Of the Universe 1.
The group consists of eight Islunds, being
from fifty to eighty miles ap 'rt--theya very
mountainous, and in many places sterile and
b'rren however, there arc small valleys,
canons and places on the mountain clones,
which are quite productive hut the soil, such
as il is. is very thin, having only IL lava founda
tion, and were it not tn rain once in every two
or three days, it would not produce anything.
unless artificial irrigation were resorted to. -
The lava is very porous, so much so, that i,
cvaporatcs water as quick rs real sandy SOL
On most Of the Islands timber is very scarce
and Of very diminutivc and worthless kind
On tho two largest Islands, there is, III place,
on the mountain slopes, considerable timber
different though from any species we have in
California, or the Atlantic States There is
one kind that is manufactured into furniture
which, has 9 very fine grain, and looks exceed
