MIDNIGHT DISCOURSE.

GulO, 1uCIO 10 hO ooIAliSo1 VI
midnight. The London house
holder, who has the ceaseless
beating of the great city's
mighty heartc close to his pillow,
whose rest is hourly disturb
ed by the voices of innumera-
BILE church clocks, thinks of a
country-house as a place as free
from sound at midnight as a
spell-bound palace of sleep.
The waiter in a railway hotel,
who is kept by the steam
whistle in a bondage more con-
slant than that OF Aladdin S
slave, pictures to himself his
cousin, the imam bilious young
man who took service at the
farmhouse down in Devon
shire, as snug between laven-
der-scented sheets, in a repose
as sure not to be broken as that
of his forefathers who sleep I'M
der the churchyard yews. The
lady's maid, as she keeps her
unwilling and sulky vigil in
the cause of fashion, fancies
that, if she were far from the
rattle of those rickety cabs, she
could doze in her chair without
a breath Of interruption. Even
those jewellers in the country,
to whom it is as portentous a
matter to omit to lay hands on
a bedroom candlestick at the
last stroke Of ten, as if with
out that talisman they would
turn into mice or monsters, not
being awake at midnight, sub
scribe to the general belief, and
suppose themselves to snore
through a profound and other
wise unbroken stiffness. To-
night, however, as | stand at
my open window and look up
on the trees, and the lawn, and
the old church-tower, silvery
under the summer moon, and
listen from my own nest in the
quiet house, I hear the many
voices of the midnight even
here.
From afar, there comes what
sounds at first like a faint wa
vering cry. AS it draws near
er, it becomes a strange sound,
as of a laugh, and yet a Sob
The two great powers of joy
and sorrow, who divide the en-
pire of the human breast, seem
to speak with one voice some
where in the air. This is the
cry Of the night-hawk, who al
ways flies after shutdown. He
delights in darling through the
dusky air over the upland fields,
where the strained sinews and
heated feet of tired cart-horses
are getting q their wholesome
cold bath in the dew from the
long tremulous grass. He
strikes the fresh night breeze
with his strong wings, making
his own strange music as he
goes, and is merry though &C.
centric bird, who turns night
into day in a rollicking fashion.
But now, as lean out over the
white stars of the jasmine, a
much more unearthly spirit-like
cry reaches my ear. 1t touches
the nerves for a moment,
though 1 we'll know that 1t is
only the owl who is sailing
through the moonlight, and
talking to himself about the
probability Of ding supper for
his little family. | know Of
nothing which leads one 50
readily into a tide of spiritual
musiug as this midnight cry Of
the owl. The most hard-work-
ed matter-Qffffact man on earth

Dissatis0ed.

The Iafelligencer is not at all satisfied
with its share of the late campaign in
Ohio county, All the, issues therein
were decided at the polls against that
paper. 1t now undertakes to have the
case re-opeAsa. It attempts TO show
that the platform and candidates which
represented the close corporation known
as the Intelligencer clique and which the
people SO plainly repudiatsd, did not
mean what the popular verdict decided
they meant. The IntelHgencr's platform
under Mr.. HUBRARD's Interpretation
explicitly excluded the registration law
from the list Of "inequalities" which the
Republican Convention proposed to re-
form. Feeling that be had blundered in
his construction Of that part of the plat
form as much as Mr.. HUBBARD did in
explaining it, the editor Of the IntelH'
gencer wants the public to accept new
version of the programme. HAs this ia
intended to relieve some very zealous
but very ,short-sighted gentlemen of the
consequences of their own errors, iti
natural but rather late. 81 e.. =. 'Do

clause of our State Constitution. I'm
der it no man can be disfra chised for a
crime without being convicted thereof
by "due process Of law" SO the Intel
igeacer's argument proves. too much.

ADYING MANN DIFFICULTY

From the Honolulu Gazette, Sept. 2s.l
A certain native living in Koolau has
been sick, and, apprehending that his
end was near at hand, sent into town
for coffin, SO that his friends might be
prepared to give him proper burial.
In due time the coffin arrived, upon
seeing which grave doubts arose in the
sick mans mind as to whether it would

for the purpose, and lost no time in
saving the capital invested so far as
possible. Knowing of another man

may, instead, long live and make us
