David Kalakaua and Queen Emma The que-
ton was now TO be decided whether q king or
queen should reign over the people. The Legisla-
ture assembled, and on the 18th Of February al
most unanimously elected the former.
The king, by both his parents, descended from
the ancient sovereigns Of the Hawaiian Islands.
He was born November 10. 1886, was educated at
the Royal School under the direction OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Cooke, whose invaluable labors were pro
ductiye of so many good results to the young
chiefs and chiefesses Of the land, and he was an
apt scholar. During the last few years he has
held responsible Offices; hence be enters upon his
duties as sovereign being familiar with the details
of business in the several departments of govern
ment. The appointment of his ministry and
Judges of the Supreme Court give general salts
faction, and indicate that he intends to reign In
accordance with the Constitution, and maintain a
firm government which will command strength at
home and abroad.
Present indications in the political affairs OF
the Hawaiian kingdom portend a long and pros
porous reign. Long live King Kalakaua!

When we walk near powerful machinery, We
know that one misstep, and those mighty engines
will tear us to ribbons with their flying weeels,
or grind us to powder in their ponderous jaws.
So, when we are laundering across the land in q
railroad carriage and there is nothing but an iron
hange to hold us on the line so, when we are IN
a ship and there is nothing but the thickness of a
plank between US and eternity-we imagine then
that we see how close we are to the edge OF the
precipice. But we do not see it. Whether
on the sea or on the land, the partition that d-
vides us from eternity is something less than the
oak plank or halfinch iron 6ange. The machin-
cry of life and death is within US. The tissues
that hold the beating powers in their places are
often not thicker than a sheet of paper, and if
that thin partition rupture, it would be the same
as if a cannOn-ball had struck US: Death is IN
separately bound up with life in the very struc-
)ture of our bodies. Struggle as he would to
widen the space, no man can at any time go
further from death than the thickness of a sheet
Of paper.

EARLY RISING MADE Easy" My old friend,
Robert Roesiter,', says a writer, fixed his
alarum SO that at the foreordained moment the
bed-clothes were dragged from the bed, and Kos
sitter lay shivering. :,
81 have myself somewhere the drawings and
specifications for a patent-which 1 never applied
f~or-which arranges a set of cams and wheelwork
under the bedstead, which at the appointed mo-
ment lifts the pillow end six feet, and delivers the
sleeper on his feet on the now horizontal foot
board.
He is not apt to sleep long after that.
"Rossiter found another contrivance which
worked better. The ~alarm-clock struck a match,
which lighted the lamp which boiled the water
for Rossiter's shaving.
.sIf Rossiter stayed in bed too long, the water
boiled over upon the Bible his mother gave him,
and Coleridge's autograph, and his open pocket
book and all the other precious things ne could
put in a basin underneath when he went to bed;
so he had to get up before that moment came"

BEGGARs THE LANGUAGE.-After a severe wrestle
with the dictionary, the Louisville Courier
Journal rises to say We should like to charae-
terize in fit terms the conduct of Grant and his
clique toward the people of Louisiana, but a
mere attempt to do so beggars the language and
drives it a shirtless, shivering pauper to the poor
house.
