The Hawaiian gazette., 1874-07-01

"brimming river" and we wished as she sang that
she might ego on forever" And who is the maiden
in lovely highland costume, standing with an oar
in hand in a skiff? 1t must be the "Lady Of the
Lake" about to row the heroic Prince to the Doug
las Isle The fair and graceful Ellen is listening to
the sweet words Of Scott in speaking Of the Snow
don Knight, who says:
az can but be thy guide, sweet maid,
With scotlaud's King thy suit to sid"
And when she meets him at the Court and iuds the
wandering knight a king,-how happy is she, as her
lover Is pardoned by king who loves her, and
Ills chain Of gold the King unstrung,
The links Ger Malcolui's neck he flung,
Then drew the glitt,ring band,
And laid the clasp Elsn's hand"
And now comes picture OF sad and tender Autumn,
with sweet many tinted leaves in her hair, such as
we have gathered in the sober woods on many
hopeful day in other lands, and she has ears Of
wheat from the old harvest home in her hands, and
softly and pleasantly says:
1.-THE melancholy days come the slddet in the year.
But though her dress was Autumn her face was
Spring, and looked too bright for Bryant's melan-
/ choly lucubratiOns.
/ All whence this dove, that looks so fitting IN
such company? Is it the one with the olive twig,
coming to rest its foot on safe and kindly perch?
Y
tai awakening? No tits simply "a Messenger bird''
of love, on maiden's hand, who reminds Us Of the
sweet Hemans, who put into our earliest memory
the noble story when
The breaking waves dashed high
On a and rock bound coast"
And who is this mystery, yelled and crowned and
adorned with crescent and stars? Is this
The veil, the silver veil which he had nuns
In mercy there, 20 hide from mortal sight,
His dazzling brow till man could bear it, iightr'
Yes It must be the Yelled Prophet of Khorassau'
but not as Moore after time portrayed him, but
even as his votaries believed, noble and fair,
Gan glowing from the presence Of his Cisr) god.'
And here comes a wanderer from silent city, with
sadness on her brow, as she says;
'Full many a gem Of purest ray
The dark, unflthomed caves Of ocean bear"
But VIC trust she is not to be a Gray flower
-" born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness the desert air"
And now we close the presentation OF this lovely
company with the "star Of Bethlehem; which by
one robed in white, and White in name and soul,
made US think OF poor Henry Kirkc Whites Early
Primrose;"
"As virtue blooms, brought forth amid the storms
or chill adversely; in some lone walk
or life she rears her head
While every bleaching breeze that sn her blows
obscure and unobserved;
Chasteus her spotless purity Of breast
And hardens her to bear
Serene the ills Of fs.'
1t has been our delight through life to be with
this whole company Of poets; and VIC were most
happy this evening to meet them all under such fair
aspect Thanks to the studious maiders for such
pleasant pictures; and many, many thanks to the
thoughtful and tasteful ladies' and matrous who
must have worked and studied much 10 help
contrive it ALL These and the exercises Of the
young gentlemen are mOstinspirng and Of excellent
effect How arc history, art, and the noble heroisms
Of the past impressed upon tender, generous young
souls by these efforts TO present before others the
sayings and doings Of great thinkers. OF what avail
will it be to cram alone; you must cultivate ex-
PRESTON and with the observation Of such taste and
expression as this we would never weary. The time
was not too long for the writer, and would not be
for any else who keeps his heart green with the
march OF time, whose joy is in the hope Of young
souls
-" nourishiug youth sublime,
With the fairy tales Of science and the long result Of me
And now the pleasant evening was brought 10 a
close bya spirited address on subject pertaining to
our isles, the Napoleon Of the Pacific" in which
the greatness Of the FIRST Eamehamcha was shown.
