But as thou wilt. z"

e Should any man say, a asked for
blessing that was plainly promis
ed, but did not obtain it, should
then say, are you equally clear that
the obtaining of it would be for
your good? "Yes," say you. sit
would make me comfortable. Just
so; but is it for your good to be
comfortable? "And it would get
me out of my, difficulty" But may
it not be for your lasting good to
be in the difficulty; and may there
not be something in the world q
great deal higher for you and for
me than merely to be comfortable
and to get out of difficultiess "Not
as l will, but as thou wilt" was the

power in prayer than all of us put

thou wilt" We mnst always put

Cheerfulness

There is no greater every. day vir
tue than cheerfulness. This aualit,
insrnan among men is like sunshine
to the day,or gentle,renewing mois
ture to parched herbs. The light
of cheerful face diffuses itself, and
communicates the happy spirit that
inspires it. The sourest temper
must sweeten in the atmosphere OF
continuous good humor.

Got by that Star.
A correspondent of the Congr.

A correspondent of the Congre-
gationalist writes:
There are some people who are
evidently trying to persuade them
selves that the religion of the Bible
is obsolete. We read much of this
in certain newspapers. There are
books and magazine which tell us
that christianity was good enough
for the past, that it was very excel
lent indeed for those ages which
preceded the birth and rapid growth
of science; but for the present and
the future the world needs some
thing better. AS for the "Gospel, y
they would say, we have passed be
yond that.
This view has the support and
the advocacy of men who, in certain
departments of knowledge, are
wide-awake, and masters of their
position, but who in religious
things have apparently lost their
bearings.
A writer in the Christian Intel
Hgencer tells story which those
men might do well to read. A Bos-
ton skipper sailing northward, set a
young sailor at the helm on a pleas
ant night saying: "My lad, as you
do not understand the compass. all
compass, ali you have to do is to
fix your eye on yonder North Star
and head the vessel right toward
it."
So, leaving the youth at his post,
the captain retired to his cabin.
But presently the raw helmsman
grew drowsy. His hand dropped
from the rudder, and the unguided
bark drifted about in the wind
and headed in the direction from
which they had come. Suddenly
waking, the boy sprang to his feet,
rubbed his eyes, and looked ahead
for the star. Failing to find it, he
rushed to the captain. "Wake upm
he cried, "wake up! we have got by

The Frankness of Childhood


A clergyman recently said he
was once engaged to preach to his
Sunday-school, but after the little
people were all arranged before him
in order, he told them that some oil
them might be weary and want to
go cut before he had finished, so he
would rather have any who fancied
they would like to go, to do so now
when no one would be disturbed.
For a moment all sat still, then one
little fellew took up his hat, and
went down the aisle. Another and
another followed, until not a child
was left. 1t is to presumed the
minister learned the lesson they
gave him.

that star. Come up and show me
another one" 1t is more than pos
sible that when our advanced re-
ligionists recover their lost bear
ings, they will discover that instead
of being ahead Of the religion of
the Bible, they have turned about
and are going backward.

Life g Troubles.

We may compare the troubles
which we have to undergo in the
course of this life to great bundle
of fagots, far too large for us to lift.
But God does not require us to car
ry the whole at once. He fnerciful-
ly unties the bundle, and gives MS
first one stick, which we are to car
ry to day, and then another, which
we are to carry tomorrow, and so
|. on: This we might easily manage,
If we would only take the burden
appointed for US each day: but we
choose to increase our troubles by
carrying yesterdays stick over
3. again to-day, and adding to-mor-
rows burden to our load before we
are required to bear it.

The meeting Of tie subscribers 20 the Queens
Hospital fund took place As per previous notice at
the Court House, at - o'cloek ON Saturday last, and
was quite numerously attended. both Nv actual
members Of the corporation aud By others fScling an
interest in the institution. His Honor, Chief JUS
tiee Allen, Vice President, occupied the chair. The
business for which the meeting had been specially
called was stated by the Secretary, Z. A. Schaefer.
Esq, namely, ITO consider the exPediency Of APP
plying for alterations in the Charter. as follows
lst That the Minister Of the Interior sr-e9ci0 shall
be a member II the Board Of Trustees. II. That
the Minister Of the Interior may be authorized to
make his appointments Of trustees from the public
at large, limiting the number 10 nine" The pro-
positions were debated with some freedom. and how
ever opinions might be divided as 10 the propriety Of
making the Minister Of the Interior sr-efcio q
member Of the Board Of Trustees, the other propo-
sal, to allow him TO appoint trustees from the non
subscribing public, was strongly opposed, it appear
ing that there were no less than forty-threc names
on the books, Of persons eligible to the Office Of
trustee. 1t was stated, in course Of debate. that the
means Of supporting the Hospital at the present time
were wholly derived from the Government, and that
consequently Government should have the control Of
the entire atair-at least that was the inference
But il was evident that the opinion Of the meeting
was oppOSed 10 tnat lueas ana the desire was plainly
manifested TO retain the control Of the manage
ment in the hands Of the subscribers. The vote on
the first proposition was, nays, II yeas, II. On
the second, nays, "a yeas, 3. So ends this bold
attempt to make the Queens Hospital an appanage
Of the Interior Department.
"A committee of three, consisting Of Judge Wide
mann, E. HOFFMAN,, NJ. d., and Hon. C.. r. Bishop,
was appointed to solicit subscriptions for the general
fund Of the Hospital, and they were empowered TO
issue certificates of life membership. The opinion
was expressed that in view of the renewed interest
in the institution which has lately been evoked, a
new appeal to public charity would at this time meet
with a response. ~
The Rev. DIR. Damon spoke strongly of the neces-
sity Of providing for the separation Of the sexes in
the Hospital, and urged that an attempt should be
made to raise funds for putting up a separate build
ing for that purpose. His views as 70 the need Of
such a measure were admitted to be correct by other
speakers, but His Excellency, C. C. Harris, saw vari-
GUS difficulties in the way Of raising the necessary
funds.-which were estimated at 8 4,000,-and hav-
apparently lost his building fever since Che CON-
pletion of the new hotel, decidedly threw cold water
on the project, which was dropped. But there is no
question in any quarter, but that the change urged
by DIR. Damon is a highly necessary one on many
grounds that we shall take a future opportunity to
urge, and one which we feel confident viii eventually
be brought about.

EDITOR COMMERCIAL ADvERTIsER-DEAR SIR /:
Allow me space in your columns to call attention to
the existing state Of the mornings at Kaawaloa.
The buoy was laid some nine months since in sew
enteen fatboms of water 1 measured the depth
yesterday and find the depth of water alongside the
buoy to be twenty-nine fathoms and a half thus
allowing only three feet of slack chain-as if l re-
member rightly the length of chain attached to the
buoy is only thirty fathoms, however the buoy has
shifted almost two hundred fathoms from the place
where it was first placed.
a stitch in time saves a dozen, and the removal or
relaying of the said buoy will probably save you the
trouble of reporting the loss of one of our coasters or
the steamer KTEauea. Yours truly,

THE CURLEw-The sportsman par excellence of
Honolulu. :. X. RawsOn, was out one day this
week on his raids against the birds. and besides
numerous ducks and plover, bagged a dozen cur
lew. This is a SPLENDID game bird, rather hard to
get, and is much esteemed by epicures. 1t is de-
scribed by ornitholOgists as of the genus Numenius,
and the grallic order, has q long crooked bill, wide
wings, rapid flight, and a color of ash and black.
1t belongs to the same family with the wOodcock
and sand piper. They are as We said. not easily
bagged. and the bringing to town of one dozen from
one excursion is noteworthy. and worth Dragging
about. We feel a gastric melancholy in parting
with the deliciously fat ployer that will be all gone
in a week or two hence.
