FINE LIVE SToCK.-Mr. Charles Alexander, who
returned from California on the barkentine Dis
covery on Monday, brought handsome stallion of
the pure Morgan breed. He is about nine years
old, and has already acquired favourable reputa-
tation in the district where he was raised. His
progeny are of the right size for saddle horses,
and are remarkable for great endurance and bottom.
The price paid for him $500. Mr.. Alexander
also brought down twelve pure blooded bucks
from the celebrated BerkelY ranch of Mr.. Woolsey.
These are destined for the sheep ranch on the sum
nit of Haleakala, belonging to the Alexander
Brothers Last but not least among these impor-
tations is large Kentucky jack which, in view of
the increasing demand Tor mules for plantation use,
will doubtless prove as profitable as the other
ventures.

FIRE ON THE KEAHALA PLANTATIoN.-0n
Thursday night about eight O'Clock the boiling
house OF this plantation, was discovered to be ON
fire, ard In a short time it was wholly consumed,
with the greater part of its contents. There were
about ten tons of sugar in the house, of which
some thirty kegs OF sugar were already packed,
ready for shipment, and the balance was in the
coolers and packing bin. OF it but portion OF
that in the coolers was saved. The pans and boil
ing apparatus are all destroyed, but the mill and
water Wheel being 10 detached building, were
saved. Ali the carpenters and cooper's tools were
lost as well as number OF other articles winch
had been stored in the same building for sale
keeping There was no Insurance on the pro-
perry and the actual loss by fire will be much in-
creased by the deterioration OF Sugar-eane now
ready for grinding There are about $50 acres of
cane nearly or quite ripe. The cause Of the IRE
is unknown, but there is some reason to suspect
iucendiarism. We sincerely sympathize with Mr.
Williams in his loss and trust that he may De en-
abled TO continue without mnch DELAY.

FRIENDSHIP WITH THE SPIRIT.

1T not true that to have an expert
mental acquaintance with the special
office wsrk Of the Holy Spirit; of His
work in teaching. helping, and comfort
ing the soul, is the way to enjoy a sweet
and holy friendship with Him? 1t may
sound stranger to you, believer, to talk
or intimate and endearing friendship
between your soul and the Holy Spirit
but the following considerations will
show you that such friendship may ex-
ist.
l. The Holy Spirit is truly -
strictly perso- Srv is not a mere
r-"Vr or influence, but person. He
has an individual existence, and is not
inferior in power and glory to the Fa.
Their or the Son.
2. He tendly loves you, and that
though He is infinitely holy, and YOU
arc polluted.
8. He is not only always within
call. but is always nearer to you than
you can comprehend.
4. He can be wounded and erieved
by you.
.. He has loving cOmplacency il
your affection for Jesus, and in Won,
faith to him.
6. Notwithstanding that He is in
hnitely great, and you are insignificant
His companiOnship with you, instead O.
being forced, is delightful to Him.
z. COnstancy is always q qualit,
belonging to a true friend, and there i,
more eonstancY in Him than was eve,
found in any human friend
s. He has already done so much 70
you, (His work is always carried OIL
within the sOuD, that He cannot bea
now to leave His work unfinished -

MONDAY MORNING.
BY AUNT MARIoRY.

Monday finds everybody in the house
waking up with sense of responsible
ity. 1t is the day which sets things
going again. We start on a week, as
travellers who have rested over night
at an inn begin a new journey. We
have rested in the inn Of the Sabbath.
The courts of the sanctuary have re-
freshed our souls. Our bodies have en-
joyed respite from the labors which
taxed them for six days. Tranquilized
and strengthened by the sweet influences
of the holy hours, we are ready for work
once more.
The common consent of housekeepers
has set Monday apart for washing day.
When it dawns bright, clear and beau
tiful there is joy in the heart of the
laundress, and great satisfaction in the
prospect of accomplishing the hardest
task of the week pleasantly. For wash
ing is hard work. But when the air IS
brisk, and the sky clear, and the long
lines Of clothing can be hung out Of
doors, the toll is not a disappointment
What perfume is pleasanter than the
fragrance of heap of clothes just taken
from the air and the sun, and ready for
the folding and ironing processes?
A housekeeper should make the rest
of her Mondays work subordinate to
her washing. Let the person who does
it be as little as possible interfered with
and hindered in her task. Let the din
ner be simple, and relieve the servant
from all washing of dishes. Even wash.
ing should go forward with song
Monday morning sees the streets full
of happy children, whose lips run ovel
with merriment and fun. How blithely
rings their laughter How gay are thei
faces How light their footsteps Yes

When Monday morning comes, DEF

Of last week. DO not spend any of i

y
too There is an engine to be set up
and tested to-day. Come with me-
Toms hands were weak and unsteady,
but his brain was clear. and under his
skillful supervision the engine was set
up and tested but it was not perfect.
There were mistakes which he had to
correct, and it was late in the evening
when the work was complete.
How is it now, Tom ?" asked Mr..
Scott, as he came into the testing house
and found the workman ready to depart.
''She's all right, sir. You may give
your warrant without fear"
"God bless you, Tom! You don't
know how like sweet music the old voice
sounds. Will you take your place
again ?'
.'Wait till Monday morning. sir. If
you will offer it to me then, | will take
it,"
At the little cottage Ellen Darcey's
futtering heart was sinking. That
morning. after Tom had gone. she had
found two dollar note in the coffee
cup. She knew that he had left it for
her. She had been out and bought tea
and sugar and -four and butter, and a
bit of tender steak; and all day long a
ray of light had been dancing and SHIN
mering before her-a ray from the bless
ed light of other days. With prayer
and hope she had set out the tea table,
and waited, but the sun went down and
no Tom came. Eight o'clock-and al
most nine. Oh, was it but a false glim-
mer after all?

The Scientific Farmer says: 1.-The
nutritive value of eggs, and the cheap
ness of their production is scarcely real
lied by the public. 1t may seem rather
improbable to state that when meat is
20 cents a pound. the food value of eggs
Is about 81 l-2 cents dozen, yet this
seems to be the fact. A hen may be
calculated to consume one bushel of corn
yearly, and to lay twelve dozen or eigh-
teen pounds of eggs. This is equiva-
lent to saying that three and one-tenth
pounds of corn will produce. when fed
to this hen, one pound of eggs. A pound
of pork. on the contrary, requires about
five and one-third pounds of corn for its
produ ction. When eggs are twenty.
four cents dozen, and pork is ten cents
pound, we have the bushel of corn
fed, producing two dollars and eighty
eight cents worth of eggs, and but one
dollar and five cents worth of pork.
Judging from these facts, eggs must be
economical in their production and in
eating. and especially fitted for the Ia
boring man in replacing meat
Look OUT FOR THE MICE.-The great
body of snow upon the ground is favor
able for the operation of mice around
your fruit trees. If unmolested in their
work tree is soon ruined beyond help
after an attack is once made. The
young tender bark makes a toothsome
morsel for the pest, and when they once
get hold of a tree they rarely leave it
until it is completely girdled. Young
trees having no protection should be
visited now without delay. if they have
not already been attended to. By stamp
ing the snow down around them as CON-
pact as possible barrier may be made
that the mice will not undertake to over
come A minutes time to tree thus
spent now may be the means of saving
many valuable nurseries.
