Tears that trickle down our eyes,
They do not fall to the earth and cry;
They soar like angels to the skies,
And like angels cannot die,
For, oh our immortality
Sounds thro each year-sounGs in each sigl
What waves of tears surge DER the deep
or sorrows in our restless souls
And they are strong, not weak, who weep
Those drops from out that sea that rolls
Within their hearts fol evermwe-
Within the deep-wlthout a shore.
But, ah 4 the tears that are not went
The tears ,shat neve, ,oatward fal,
The tears that grief for years has kept
Within us-they are best of all
The tears our eyes shall never know
Are deeper than the tears that flow.
Each night. upon earth's flowers below.
The dew comes down from darkest skies;
And every night our tears of woe
Go up, ike dew to paradise;
10 keep in bloom and make more fair
The flowegs of crowns we yet shall wear.
For, ah the surest way to God
Is up the lonely stream Of tears
That flow. when bending meath his rod.
And fill the tide NJ our past years;

on waves Of Gears, no heart IS lost.

was furnished By our attentive Hilo correspondent.

But some literary ghoul in this city, on the sth

SUPREME COURT IN Equity.

A demurrer in the case OF Waterhouse VI.
Cleghorn ct al. ~assignees OF Siemsen and Conway,
of Hilo, was fully argued last week, before Mr..
Justice Judd. R. ii. Stanley appeared for the
defendants and A. S. IIartwelI for the plaintiff.
TIE plaintiffs bill was brought to compel the
defendants to show their accounts of receipts and
OUTLAWS, and to pay him, as a private creditor of
Siemsen, a proportionate share of Siemsen's pri-
vate assets. Demurrer was made on the ground
that certain creditors who had joined in the deed
of assignment we're not made plaintiffs. The
argument for the demurrer was that no decree
could be made unless these creditors were brought
before the Court. The counsel for the bill argued
that the creditors who signed the deed were rep
resented by the assignees, and had so arranged
that they might not care to come in as plaintiffs !;
also that the deed of assignment was in the
DEFENDANTS control so that the plaintiff could not
have known what creditors had signed it; aud
finally, that a creditor not a party to an assign
ment was not required by rules OF equity to bring
suit in the names of creditors who had signed it,
and was entitled 10 receive his pro rata dividend
in all events. The Court, on full consideration,
sustained the demurrer, but said that, as the
defect was not fatal, an amendment would be
permitted, on payment Of costs.

BELIEVING cleanliness to be next to gOdliness,
the late English Church Congress has endeayored
20 prove that there is q necessary connection be-
tween religion and sanitary regulations; one cler-
gyman, indeed, affirming that health OF body
seemed almost a prerequisite to health Of SOU"
and that religion and sOundness Of body were uni
ted. a. il were by q marriage bond" The theory,
no doubt. Is excellent and eOmmendable, but the
facts and history are the other way People say,
Of course, that II the Mecca pilgrims had been as
cIeanly as they were piOus, there would have been
less Asiatic cholera in the world; and Professor
PIayfair tells Us that II the condition Of large
cities was cleaner, the mortality lists would not De
half what they are. One Of the speakers at the
Church Congress asked the question, I" How many
dogmas had not been born Of dyspepsia 1"-evident-
Iy wishing to associate dogma from religion, attri-
buting the former TO an impaired digestion. and as
sociating the latter with . plentiful use Of soap
One is almost tempted TO say Of the whole theory, by
the mere accident Of metaphor. that sit won't
wash" Soap does not destroy dogma; nor does il
produce that godIiness which is apparently dissoci-
ated from dogma Perhaps it would be better to adj
nit that cleanliness and ~godliness are very good
things in their own way, without seeking to prove
their interdependence.

TIE QUARTERLY report OF Custom House Sta
tistics, including a comparative exhibit Of princi-
pal domestic exports for 1873 and 1874, as fur
nisbed to the Minister Of Finance by the Collector
General, will be found in our commercial column.
During the quarter last pact the figures show an
increase Of more than a million pounds Of sugar
over the quantity sent forward in the correspond
ing quarter Of 1873 also an increase in the
articles Of rice, fungus and wool. For the year,
as compared with 1873, we find an increase Of
nearly a million and a half pounds Of sugar
exported, Of GAG ,54S pounds Of rice, about 1000
pieces Of goat skins and hides, and 70,4l9 pounds
Of wool. Yet the total value Of all domestic
exports is less than that reported for 1873, by
Sl0o, 054 Al. TIC account for this apparent fall
ing of in values it may be remarked, that in the
article OF coffee there has been a marked reduE
ton in the amount exported mo less than 1885,
500 pounds and also that there has been a
decrease in tallow Of 484,259 pounds. The
decrease 10 coffee is undoubtedly owing to reduced
production OF that article, in consequence OF the
blight, the effects Of which are still apparent Ia
Kona. There are, however, large quantities Of
talloE on hand in store, awaiting shipment, and
which will 60 into the account for 1875 Ii must
be further recollected that during the fret half of
the year under review, prices of sugar ruled ex-
tremely low in the San Francisco market, and
that in consequence Of that fact shipments were
generally invoiced at least a half a cent and some
times one cent lower per pound than has latterly
been the case. These facts, it will be seen, afford
an explanation of the apparent diminutiOn in the
value Of exports as shown by the table. 1t is
gratifying to note the marked and steady increase
Of the two staple articles Of sugar and rice,
which together constitute the greater part Of our
export values
