THE PROPAGATION.

As announced in our last, the Legislature was
formally prorogued by His Majesty the King in
person, at u O'Clock noon on Saturday last. a
numerous audience Of ladies and gentlemen filed
the spacious Hall of Aliiolani House, while the
seats on the right and left of the dais were oecu-
pied by ladies of the Court, Foreign Representa-
tives, Judges of the Courts. the Commanders and
Officers of the American and British ships IN
port, &c. A little before y, His Majesty left
the Palace on foot, accompanied by III. r. ii.
Prince Leleiohoku and the Chancellor of the
Kingdom, and escorted by the Cavalry, and the
Household Troops. As He entered the yestibule
of Aliiolani House, the Royal Standard was
hoisted on the tower, and saluted by the guns of
the Battery on Punchbowl. At precisely noon
His Majesty, accompanied as before and by the
Crown Ministers, entered the Hall, the audience
rising and remaining standing while prayer was
offered by the Chaplain of the Assembly, after
which His Majesty read the following

The promise ef the sugar and rice crops OF
Louisiana has not for many years been better than
II now Is. Before the foundations a large increase
in the acreage of both these crops was contem-
plated, and Notwithstanding the foundations an
actual Increase Of acreage has been planted at
least IN rice while If the acreage sf sugar has
been diminished the propiiousness OF the season
promises 70 more than counterbalance the loss.
The increasing importance Of the rice crop in the
State Is shown by the following estimates for the
past four years

The LEGISLATURE having finally adjourned, we
have leisure to contemplate the important meas
ures for the Advancement Of the country which it
has sanctioned, and to look about for the men
and the processes by which those measures are to
be carried out The great nations Of the world
will not fail to note the spirit Of enlightened pro-
gress which our King and Parliament have man
Tested in taking the initiatOry steps towards Sc
curing immigration, Reciprocity, and the Tele-
graph, and in authorizing q Loan to aid in deyel-
oping-our resources. But just here we are re-
minded very forcibly that all this wise and pro-
gressive legislation will be ~valueless If we fail in
having the right sort Of a Ministry, promptly and
e-uergetically 20 plan, to direct, and to execute.
More than ever do we need to-day men Of action,
of fertility Of resources, Of enlightened zeal. Of IN
firing industry, and a hearty devotion to the best
interests of Hawaii mel. And We are persuaded
that no one more fully appreciates this present
necessity OF the country than His Majesty, and
that in calling about Him a full Cabinet Of Con-
stitutionaI advisers He will choose wisely and
well, with a view to the advancement of {. meas
ures, not men"

Flowers.

New York Fashion has taken good
step for once. 1t has gone in for flowers.
It trims it's windows with them, and
rears them in its bits of front gardens.
1t drops them from the branches of the
wisteria all along its outward walls, until
they make the streets Of stony-hearted
Gotham to blossom like the rose and it
Grams them into the button-holes of the
black-coated city men until they look as
rural as Jeremy Jessamy. As for the
ladies, they wear them in their bosoms,
night and morning, and are twice as
sweet in consequence.
Thanks to Fashion for her newest
whim. She has never had a prettier
one, and she never will. May Heaven
keep her in her present mind. One can
always fancy the sweetness of home with
in windows that are aower-dressed, and
behind the walls over which the wisteria
grows, the prattle of smiling children
can always be imagined. While for the
man who wea1s buds and blossoms in his
button-hole one has the kindest thoughts;
he can't be cold, or cruel, or avaricious
ne must have something very nice about
him, and surely he loves somebody and
somebody loves him.
Yet, after all, he would scarcely dare
to wear them, nor would she, in whose
belt they bloom 80 sweetly, were Fashion
opposed to the proceeding, Therefore,
thanks, Madame La Mode. Give me
your hand. We shall be friends always
if you will only set blossoms smiling
everywhere, and even touch the hearts
OF those who are charitable, so they will
giye them to the'poor, and drop them on
pillows where pauper heads lie in dreary
hospitals, as you have lately done.
+ For when the Lord had made the
world, ! think he said Poor children,
they shall have at least q bit of Heaven"
and smiled and gave Us flowers.
MARY KYLE DALLAS.
