ny MRS. w. W. WALLACE

Come and sit down In the chamber of memory,
Linger tonight In it's shadowy hell,
While through the dim vista of days long de
parted,
We look at the pictures that hang on the wall.
Some there are. set in the hues Of the rain
bow,
Glittering like stars in their silvery sheen.
And the glad GOLDEN sunshine of summer Is
shining,
And shimmering down on the roses between.
But others are set in the sables OF mourning,
Betokening the shroud and the pail evermore,
When the angel of death brooded over the
household. -.s
The shutters were closed, and the Grape on the
door.
Pictures of graves scattered over the wide
world,
Parted by mountains, and streamlet, and sea.
Some in the churchyard. and some near our
dwelling. E
Under the shade of the old arbor tree.
And next are the faces of loved ones departed
The aged, and weary, with siivery head,
And the dear ones that left us In lifes sunny
morning, ...
The early, the youthful, the beautiful dead.
Oh how we loved them, the lost, unforgot-
ten,
Tear drops are falling like sad April rain,
The hands we have clasped, the lips that have
Kissed US,
The voices that never shall answer again.
Down where the daisies and violets blossom,
Close by the side OF the sheltering wood,
There we have buried the hearts dearest treas
ure, .. H
Sleeping forever the sleep of the good.
Up In the churchyard under the willow,
Ever So silently falls the white snow
Down on the graves of the loved and the
cherished,
Slumbering softly and sweetiy below.
'Tis the last picture We stand In the portals,
Breathing prayer TO the Father of Love,
"He gave them, He took them, and He will re-
store them," a. saa4.
And bring US together In mansions above.

KAUPAKUEA, Hlo, March 29-noon.
Mother earth has been quite lively since yesterday.
The quakes commenced a little before noon, and set
the whole country rafting. They haven't done yet.
Even as 1 write, the house quivers and creaks like an
old ship at sea, and outside the trees are politely
bowling to each other. There have been at least q
hundred shocks during the last "a hours-some toll
erably violent Had they all been concentrated in
one, there would have been a grand crash. AS it Is,
the vacuum pan has a very perceptible sway. and
the tall iron chimney vibrates like q topsy turvy
pendulum. The shocks are unlike our usual Ha-
waiian earthquakes (such as I have frequently felt
before)-these being more deliberate, stronger but
lazier, and longer continued !; and they really seem
to be getting chronic. GA .
We have been having q tremendous min storm and
the gulches have been impossible for days together.

Tho Case.

To The Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser :
An article in your issue of the 21st March, under
the caption, ga Noble Marquesan Mother,' has
just arrested my attention. This woman is worthy
of all praise, having been the chief instrument IN the
preservation of MI. Whalon's life. The statement,
however, that her g conduct has never been reward
ed, is not altogether correct. Mr.. Bartholomew
Nagel, one of the parties concerned in the liberation
of Mr.. Whalon, received, as his reward from Presi-
dent Lincoln, a fowling piece and q SUN of money
L forget now the amount. The fowling piece he re-
tanned, as his name had been inscribed ON the stock /;
the money he put into the hands of one of the French
priests at Nuuhiwa to be spent ia the purchase of
suitable dresses for the Marquesan woman in ques-
ton. 1 presume that she has received them ere this.
In justice to Mr.. Nagel, I felt bound to make this
correction, and am only sorry the Rev. Mr.. Kaukau
had not the forethought, and followed his example
at the time. j. BIcKSELL.

A NAVAL VESSEL DIsINFECTED Ely STEAH.-The
Naval Department has received dispatches from
Commander Chandler, of the United States steamer
Don, dated Vera Cruz. December 10th. He states
that the yellow fever broke out on board of his
vessel on the 18th of November. 1t proved to be
of a most malignant type. He was ordered to the
above port. and was always brOadside To the wind.
The sick were at once landed and their clothing
and bedding aired. The ship was thoroughly i'm
pregnated with yellow fever. Commander Chand-
Ter caused the matches of the birth-deck and ward
room to he securely closed. One joint Of the steam
heater on the berth deck was disconnected. and the
same operation performed in the ward-room. \
thermometer was lowered through a small slip in
the tarpaulin, and after two hours steaming in the
ward it indicated POS degrees. The matches
were then opened. decks dried down. joints of
steam heaters replaced. and in two hours more
there was nc indication of the extreme heat To
which the places had been exposed. 20 cases oc-
Cured afterwards. We had % cases on board. and
seven men died. Commander Chandler informs tire
Department that he Is fully persuaded that heat
eradicated the disease as efectually as a severe
frost could have done.

We are happy to say has been a very rare occurrence
for a year or two past 1t seems that the earth
quakes of last week so bent various parts of the ma
chinery, unbalancing the hands, and loosening screws,
that the whole finally came to a stand-still. and con-
siderable difficulty was experienced in setting the
time piece in working order again. This however
was soon accomplished by Mr.. Rawson, it being first
necessary, in order to fix the hands on the north side,
to hold a boy suspended by a rope at rather a ticklish
height above the stone steps below.
