poems yet written for their eyclusi
uSe
OH come. my love, and live with ma
And keep my cottage in the glen,
As patient as the bumble-bec,
As busy as setting hen.
Beyond the yermicclli ROW
hear the bull-frog's sing again
The cackle Of the Durham eve
The below of the Berk shire hen.
Oh, come, love, come The morn is fair
I'll celebrate the day with thee ;
I Il merrly dig the Bartlett pear
And shake the ruta bega tree.
Oh, hump yourself my lovely Poll.
And in the cause of antimonop,
We mulch the turkeys In the Fall,
Aud graft the long clam on the hop.
My sweetest | am fond of mush
And thou wilt set some out for me
Wen early SOW the currant bush
And tap the cranberry-jelly tree.
Wen pull the wool from off the calf,
The cottonwood its fleece shall shed.
SO at the Winter will we laugh.
And gayly weed the oyster bed.
Well blithely hoe the Winter wheat
Wen chase the eggs the squirrels lay;
And when the Bantam hog shall bloat
We'll feed him with some clover hay.

Even the swift divorce laws of In

the lawyers have been discomm6tted
by school l-master in Parkc county,
who, by his example, has discouraged
going to law for divorces. He just

and went out for the evening, leaving
his wife sitting there knitting by it
Last weel, he was married again, and
the demand for kerosene lamps is in

BANG!--Almost every boy who goes
cunning, if he can find nothing that
he wants to bang away at; considers
it the next best thing to kill a few
woodpeckers. They look so funny,
wrong end up on the side Of a tree,
bobbing and whacking round the
loose bark, that the temptation is
strong, and the poor, jolly hammerer
has no friends-so bang! and down he
comes, and he is given to the dog to
play with and tear to pieces. That
poor little bird, if over year old, has
killed and eaten many hundred thou
sands of bugs larvae, in the form of
grubs and worms, and almost every
one of a kind which is injurious to
vegetation. The cat-bird, one of our
finest singers, and bird that is always
sociable, if ever permitted to be so,
eats cherry occasionally, and OF
course he must be banished or suffer
death. He pays better price for ev-
cry cherry he eats than any fruiterer
would dare demand in the market, in
the worms he destroys, and throws in
complete bird-opera several times a
day in the bargain.

Our CORRESPONDENT who over the signature of
" kamaaina " anilnadverts upon the article en-
titled "IIe Social Situation in Wednesdays
Gazette, is justly severe. There was a general
burst Of indignation throughout the entire COM
munity on the appearance Of the article in ques-
ton, as an outrageous libel upon the nation at
large. If it is regarded as iniudlcious for our
newspapers to publish the real facts as to the
existence Of leprosy among us,-what shall we
say Of this character for hideous moral leprosy
that is thus blazoned forth with the endorsement
of the well-known editor of the Hawaiian Gdzetfc
"A quasi Government Organ-doubtless hereafter
to be quoted throughout the civilized world as
our own deliberate confession Of sin! Many
Were the surmises as to it's possible authorship
OF course, that If a fact known only to the editor
of the Gazette, but from the grave nature Of the
charges made by NJ" it is but just and requi-
site that he be called upon to make good those
charges in his proper person, or else be shown
forth as n base libeller. Let the public-or at
least the authoritics-know the name of the Cir
cult Judge who. 81 to serve his MASTER FASTENED

explain who is meant by the expression "his
master" Who was the high Government official
who warned the police not to make themselves
too busy about Furnishing crime; and who are
the District Judges who hawk about licenses for
RIGHTEOUSNESS? We deem it the bounden duty
of the present Government 10 thoroughly inquire
into this matter, in order that, if there be any
truth in these bold charges, the guilty parties
may be known and punished or, finding them
baseless, as We are confident they will appear ON
examination. that the anonymous " NJ" himself,
without any alias, NAV be held I'D to the lust in
dignation and scorn of the community.

Of the magnitude Of British trade than the dividends
Of the London banks. The four great banks Of the

cent dividends in 1872, the aggregate sum being

Nor INFREQUENTLY are we expOstulated with
by friends for giving publicity to facts and state
mcnts respecting the prevalence and spread Of
leprosy in these islands. We are told that if we
continue To mention the subject in our paper,
the impression will 90 abroad that the people of
these islands are terribly afflicted with the dire
disease, that it is spreading everywhere like q
contagion, aud that it is no longer safe for travel
ers and tourists to venture among us. While we
are firmly convinced that it is our duty as public
journalists ,-truthful historians of the times up
on which we have fallen,-to record in full the
facts as they occur, we do not apprehend that
anything will be gained by concealing those
facts, nor do we believe that they are of such n
startling nature as that their publication will
have the weighty effect as suggested, in lettering
intending visitors to these islands from making
the voyage hither. 1t is well known to the
Board of Health and may as well be stated here,
that the disease, as rapid as has been its progress
in the few years since it first appeared, has been
mainly confined to one or two localities, and that
there are whole districts where not n single case
is known to exist on the entire Island of Kauai
for instance but three have been reported as sus-
pected. The whole number now at the leper
station at MolOkal Is something over five hum
dred, and a liberal estimate places the number
yet to be sent there at five hundred more. The
work Of searching out and removing these is be-
ing carried on with all possible dispatch, under
the well founded conviction that byeach a course
only can the disease be eradicated from the
nation.
Meantime the knowledge of the fact that the
historical disease of leprosy exists in these islands
to u limited extent, and is being treated with a
view to its extinction, with all the power and the
means at the command Of the Government,
whereby the unfortunate lepers arc at once
isolated as soon as discovered fought not and
will not, we are persuaded. operate in the least
to prevent either immigration or the visits of
those in search Of health or pleasure. The latter
need neither see or hear Of leprosy, and may
never be reminded that it exists, as they thread
our lovely valleys, climb our towering mountains
aud luxuriatc in our Incompatible climate.

an Order in Council abrogate the Act of July
29th, 1872, TO regulate the currency j." de-

shall be paid in United States gold coin or other
legal coin at a gold standard Of valuation and
that the Government debt and interest thereon
shall be paid at the Treasury also in gold coin Of
the United States, or its equivalent. \ provision

1t is our own fault if the necessary intimacy Of
social relations in q compressed world like this
lead to aught else but kind regard and harmony
among its inmates: people who dwell far apart
may find less food for disagreement than we, but
they must also possess less available material for
friendship. If we know our neighbors too well,
either they have no good qualities at all, (Which
statistics on the subject would certainly show to
be not the case,) or we are free to choose between
good and bad qualities for consideration. Our
selection in the matter is purely voluntary; and,
should the choice be an illiberal one, we think
this result can not be justly regarded as an in
hereut disadvantage of life in q small community.
