in so peaceful a manner as the native population Of

visitors from Honolulu and other islands. that graeed
this wedding with their presence. remember this day
of life on a Hawaiian plantation. While Of course
the pleasures and success are mainly due TO the
members Of the Mskee family, whose nimble hands
had been for weeks busily employed in preparing the
rich bridal toilet and the foul ensemble, their grati6-
cation at their splendid success cannot fail to be ade-
quate. Success to the plantation, whore employer

in wishing happiness to the newly married pair. and

Of cufly~~headed boys and rosy-eheeked girls, that,
mingling the blood of Canada, Ireland and Hawaii
nei will produce a progeny which will make the name
of Wilkinson as numerous on these Islands as the
Smiths aud Brownsare in older and more populcus
countries. Such will be in great part the future
population of these Islands. People from the ends of
the Fkprhd viii meet here and mingling their blood
with the race of Hawaii, cal forth ut some day a
native born population that in intelligence and enter

On the day following, Sunday, another church riteI
kook place in the Ulupalakua chapel. The baptismai
rites were administered to the infant Slaughter of
your former townsman. II. Holstein, ESQ, the third
of his children. The chapel was again well filled
with the members of the family, guests and foreigners,
to witness church rites that ia our sparse population
are almost as seldom witnessed as maria aes. The
font of the chapel at Ulupalakua is in accord with
the neatness of the building, and consists of q marble
vase in the antique Etrusoan style, and a chef d'9uprs
in itself. Upon its broad rim four snow-white doves
chiselled out of Pariah marble, nestle costly, images
of the celestial dove that once descended on the banks
of Jordan, to remain with MS forever. "A beautiful
solid predestal of polished rosewood bears the font,
and the whole is a splendid ornament to the little
church. The sponsors from Honolulu were repre-
scented by Mrs. Capt. Make, taking the place of Her
Majesty Queen Kapiolnni, who had graciously conde-
scended to honor the baby with the name Of Ihika-
pukalani; Mrs p. N. Makee representing Mrs. DR..
Hoffman,, and J J. Halstead, Esq, taking the place
of F. A. Schaefer, ESQ. With such an array Of illus
trioHs and widely esteemed sponsors and substitutes
hshering the baby's steps into the journey Of life, we
wish nt virtues, a long and useful existence and
happiness to Ihikapukalani Hedwig Henrietta, only
daughter of Fl. HOlstein, Esq.
