THE SILENT PRAYER


She prayed watched her nightly
On her knees beside The bed
Anal for II while each prayer time
heard the words she said.
AnT tlcr there fell a silence
On her bowed head, and thought
My senses had hcen sleeping
Since her words bad not cnught.
But duly rs the night came,
Came that silent prayer again;
marked her lips unmoving,
And knew the mystery then.
Was she praying for the living?
Was sh" praying for the dead?
Thcrr was no srhbing. signing,
And nul i tear was shed.
She was fragile in her beauty,
as u leaf hcinr" the blast;
Vas she rra ,g f,r sweet patience
Ti.l ,hr storm was uvcrprs,
W,o shah tell II. OF h,r loving:
Who shall tell Ut OF h": tra,sE
She is gpm' fr.sm - trnvcr.
In her inc mp;"'ci years.
Gone like snu.! trum on l..c mountain.
Gone like Ensl trol omt ;hc vac;
In her golden llour Of morning

When we saw her !0'H 80 fair
Fait with lilies on her bosom,
Fair ns lilies and rs sweet;
Fair with siumher on her forehead
Fair with silence at her feet.
Ere the hand Of death could reach her
She had flown TO meet his kiss;
Ere ano,her land could claim her,
She was far away from this
She was beyond orr sunshine. o
She was breathing n',nr air.

freight he came &, tlic-c Islands, setting up shocks
and building ~try-works ON the way down. On
arrival he procured more shocks and started for
the Arctic. for the season of 1850. lie soon
slowed down three thousand barrels of oil. when
his windlass broke while taking anchor, and lie
reluctantly left the OCEAN. But for this accident,
hc J. satisfied that lie would have filed the ship
with torty-sour hundred barrels Of oil.
Tie spring Of 1871 found him again bound
north. lie came up with the ice in company
with q large fleet Of vessels. This season Is
known A. the lev season: but little If any oil was
taken in the Arctic. After cruising around until
tie latter part OF August, and no opportunity
Offering to work the lect int the ocean, Capt. 4.
determined 70 square away and look up another
ground. IN September be went into the Ochotsk
Sea-, and here took fourteen hundred barrels of
oil, and was out again by the middle OF October.
In 1852 lie was again in the Ochotsk. and took
sixteen hundred barrels Of oil. In 1853 lie went
into the Ochotsk. and filed his casks early in July,
taking fourteen hundred barrels of oil making
AGO bbls. oil and l20, 0O0 Tbs. bone for the voy-
age. Leaving the Arctic, he came off this port, and
hearing that the smallpox was prevalent, detern-
incd not t. come IN with the ship, but came
ashore personally and remained but one night.
and singular 70 say, one week after leaving port
he was taken down with the disease. When first
taken, feeling satisfied that he was a victim, he
sent every one ont of the cabin but the steward,
who having had the disease was not liable to be
infected, and for four weeks he saw no one but
the steward. The precautions taken prevented
the spread of the disease, his being the only case.
This cruise was his last in the Pacific. He has
since whaled in the Atlantic, off Greenland and
Iceland, in steam whalcrs, and is now initiating
steam whaling in the Pacific. The Captain has
busted himself in invcnting guns, bombs and
other material for killing whales, and has n gun
in use which has fastened 10 and killed whales ut
forty fathoms.

II for the results. IL j. our belief. however, that,

however here the question of language which de-
mands separate treatment, and which must be
reserved for another occasion.
In nothing perhaps has 4 lack Of controlling
and experimenting ability been more evident than
in the yearly examinations Of tie Honolulu COM
mon schools. These always bring together 4 vast
number of native auditors under the ample roof
Of Kaumakapili Church, which has hitherto been
kindly loaned to the Inspector for this purpose.
With the lIudablc design of exciting emulation
between tire different schools, TWO Or three at n
time are brought together On successive days to
c1mvare notes. But the confusion worse con-
founded that prevails on such occasions Is sad to
contemplate. Cuddlcd together in the centre Of
the house are the scholars fccbly demonstrating,
scratching fanctically their arithnetical examples
on the blackboard, while an Infatuated policeman
TaIs ferociously with his cane in vain endcayors
to still the multitude in the background. Some
times, by virtue Of the attractive singing ola song,
the scholars become masters of the situation it
is very certain however that somebody else is not
master of the situation. We leave for able pens
n graphic sketch Of the scene which would be Il
windlall for an enterprising reporter all the use
we make Of il now l. 10 enforce our statements
made above ON the subject of executive inability,
and which subject we for the present lay aside for
use when opportunity shall offer.

Nh. EDIroR A quotation from the Thanksgiving
Day sermon Of Rev. Mr.. Damon, appears with ap-
proving remarks thcreupon as " correspondence of
the HgLcaiiaR GG-sis. II was an appropriate tri-
butte AZ the close Of that sermon, and the expression
Of the feelings Of a grateful guest toward this nation
Is his host.
Allow me however to quote another passage from
the sam Grafton. After a telling delineation Of the
scene where the American nation brought 10 trial its
Chief Ruler, the speaker proceeded thus: 1t is a
very convenient theory Of most monarchical Govern
ments that the Kin. can do 10 wrong, when the
world knows thst Kings as wei as the people are
liable TO err and further on The (American)
Government IS thus proved TO be strong because 1t is
the embodied sentiment Of an intelligent AMI strong
minded people, expressed through their properly
elected Senator's and Representatives
Perhaps others did not feel the force Of the words,
but to myself as a nearer, and considering the occa-
sion, nothing Is radical as the above was ever uttered
from a pulpit on Hawaiian soil. RApIN.

. The following concerning the late DIR, Herrck,
has been communicated to Us for publication:
He was "A very skillful, and for some wears a
very successful physician in one of the Southern
States. With Capt. Fremont, he came to Mexico.
and thence to California, where he engaged largely
IN speculation, and like many others lost his property
and his health. In 1858 he came TO the Sandwich
Islands, and soon after married a very worthy Christ
ian woman, who survives him. His house was ever
open TO tho stranger; he had a large and generous
heart. He was a very great sufferer from rheumatism.
ana Tor the last two years was confined 10 his bed.
On the 10Th of November. his funeral was attended
by most OF the foreign residents in kona, and he was
buried, as he had requested, near the Protestant
Mission Chanel'
