They took me from my home away.
Here let me rest, chiefs of the nation,
Close by the Office Of immigration,
Here let me rest in peace
And all young crows who crossed the sea
With the coy Commissioner and me,
Beware how You dine ON squads and chickens,
Or else, as with me, it will pay the dickens.
CAPILLARY ATTRACTION.-A certain Captain of q
coaster, who is we'll known in this community, has q
bald place - on the top of his head, where the wool
ought TO grow He had tried various kinds Of
hair oil to resuscitate the expiring crop, but without
avail, when some kind friend mentioned to him DIR.
Jayne's Compound. He made a straight wake to
Castle & Cookies, where he obtained but did not
purchase, and was presented with-three bottles OF
the mixture. Half a bottle was used on his head
with surprising results, but a~ccidently the other half
was spilled on the lid of his chest. The skipper
asserts, with n very plausible kind of expression OF
countenance, that the accidental application of the oil
aforesaid has resulted in Il fine growth of young hair
on the chest, turning it into a frst-class hair trunk.
We are half inclined to think that he made "a mistake,
AMI that what he took for hair was fne-cu- tobacco.
NATIVE ADvERTIsEMENTs.-We frequently see some
queer advertisements in the native newspapers, that
repay TRANSMITTING. In last Saturdays KuOkoa, one
komOmua, of KoOlaupoko, informs the public that
on the LIST of June, g this a. D. there would be a
great feast in honor of the birth day of his grand
child. He cordially invites every body 10 come to
the feast, bringing with them however, one dollar
each as a contribution for the payment of expenses,
Refreshingly frank and cool, that. Another man
cautions people against trusting his wife, as she has
run away and is living with another man. Besides
that, she is in prison at Lahaina; he don't say
whether 50 the other man - is in prison too.
