THE POET AND THE FISHERS.

Six poets sat on the string-piece,
On the string-piece Of wharf,
And watched the gay canal boats
That we're laying on and on.
And they sang to the pulse OF the r'ldders,
As they Mapped from windwsra to lee,
A low-yoiced song of longing
HWhep my ship comes in from sea-"
And sandwiched among the poets
Were six fishers gray and grim,
Who and sat ON that self-same string-piec
Ere he morning stars grew dim.
And they said to the grooming poets,
As they pulled up their hooks so bare,
And cast them again in the river,
"What kind Of ship is that 'air?"
And the poets sang in chorus,
1Full n any weary day
IL have set upon this string-piece
And looked adown the bay;
And many ships have foated
In from the distant sea,
Laden with poets treasures,
But none came in TO me-"
And the patient fishers answered,
It's goin' on twenty year
Since man an boy I've sot here
A-fshin' of this pier;
AM jest as I'd f. 81 porgee
nibbin' at the bait,
Some DANCED cd ship would brighten him,
And I'd pnil him up too late"
And aa the fishers murmured,
The poets deserted the sail
Of three masted schooner-canal-boat
That was waited in on the gale
And they sprang to their feet in triumph,
And they cried aloud in their glee,
"My soul I've possessed In patience,
And my ship cometh in from sea-"
And the fishers arose in wonder,
And shaded their eyes with their hands,
And they looked at the coming vessel,
Ard they all exchanged "dood lands!
That old three-mastd schooner
That's a coming IN from sea,
In the gosh blamed tub from a brickyard
That frightened away my porgee."
And the poets and fishers wrestled,
And they tonight full long and well,
But which Of them would have conquered
No man can ever tell;
For they all fell into the water
And sank meath the schooner's lee,
And the poets meier greeted their gallant ship,
Nor the fishermen their porgee.

"to see those poor famine stricken peo-
pie hasten to that Torquay dress trunk

No More BaldheadS.
TnE KACE no ENTIRELY DIsArrEAR.


The announcement that the race Of bald
heads is soon To disappear entirely from the
face of the earth may startlc the timld, and
CRATE harshly upon the ears OF thos. who are
accustomed to regard the shining pates OF
their friends with sort of sacred reverence
but no harm Is to come to those uniOrtunates,
who, ike poor Uncle Ned, have no wool on
the top OF the head, the place where the
wool ought to grow They are not to be
extripated, and not a hair OF their heads Is TO
be injured. Their badness is to be covered
over, not 10y art, but by natural growth OF
hair, stimulated to development by the APP
plicaton of that most wonderful discovery,
Carboline, Il deodorized extract OF petroleum.
In many cases it will almost destroy the
Identity of the individual for time; but the
change will be such a delightful and agree
able one, that all must eventually rejoice
over it. 1t will be very curious, doubtless, to
miss all the baldheads from HE churches,
the lecture rooms, the theatres, ard other
public assemblies but the transformation Is
bound TO come. No matter how smooth or
shining the orb-no matter bow barren 1t has
been-when tickled DER a few times with
Carboline it is bound to bring forth an abun-
dant crop and enable the possessor Of the
bare head to shake his locks as proudly as
did ever Samson or Absalom. Sold by drug

The Primary Cause Of Distant
SYMPTOM.

Nervousness is rarely disease in itself in
herent, but is the lineal offspring of dyspep
STA, in u majority of cases. The nervous dis
turbance is at hrst triting, but ultimately its
parent so undermines the general health, as
10 produce consequences very threatening
to that great nervous centre, the brain. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is the most powerful
medicinal opponent Of the ravages OF indi-
geston, and protects the nervous system
from them. The tremors, the unnatural anx-
iety, the headaches, the sleeplessness and
loss of appetite which characterizes digestive
irregularity and weakness, and which are a.
most invariably accompanied by an uuccr-
tain condition of the bowels and inactivity Of
the liver, are all eradicated by this matchless
corrective, and when nervousness does not
proceed from the cause des grated, it affords
most grateful relief.

Mr.. Wheeler G. Ellis, at Georgetown,
Col. and Miss Lima Sallers, at Wash
iugton Court House, Va, were married
by telegraph one day last week. Three
years ago Wheeler Ellis, young,
poor, and hard-working mechanic, left
Washington for the Far West to seek
his fortune, leaving behind a lovely
and lonely maiden to await his coming
ut some future time, when his finances
would admit of marriage. This time
had come this week, but on account of
business engagements, the young man
found he could not make the trip East.
A friend arrived from Colorado, and
wished to take the young woman West
with him, where the marriage ceremony
was to be performed. But her mother
would not consent. Her daughter
must be married first before she set
out. The girl had waited long already
and nothing but distance seemed to
stand in the way. At the suggestion
OF the Rev. George Carpenter the tele
graph was called into service. This
Gained the old lady's objections and
the preacher performed the ceremony.
No cards. The only spectators were a
friend or two. From the time of the
first message till the young man an
swered the solemn 81 do, was some
thing over four hours. The bride
started Immediately for her home and
her husband in the Far West. What
God hath joined together by telegraph
let no man put asunder.

PROPAGATJNa PLANTS BY CUTTINGS. -

PRoPAGATINa PLANTS BY CUTTINGS
The season is approaching when this
mode of increase is practised by those
wishing to do so. The class of plants
capable of increase by cutting is very
large, including, among trees, catalpa,
mulberry, cottonwood, Lombardy pop
lar, and many others, as well as cur
rants, gooseberries, grapes, blackber
ry roots, ounces, and frequently APP
pies and pears as well as ro-es, wiegela
rosea, snow ball or virbunum, and
many of the ornamental plants. BY
far the best mode of doing this is to
take off the cuttings in fall, and bury
all winter in a dry place in the ground.
An acquaintance takes off currant cut
tings very early,-as soon as the leaves
drop in August or September, -buries
them, and plants out next spring. He
claims that they then grow bet
ter than if set ont with we'll formed
roots.-T in Prairie Farmer.

Uses of the Horse in South America.

The following is an extract from the
letter of lady residing at Buenos
Ayres: You see that we are now at
Mercedes. On our way out we noticed,
from the railway station, great num-
Der of horses; not grazing, as they may
be seen anywhere, nor trying to run
races with the train, as they may be
seen any day, but with an important,
business-like look about them. There
were few Guachos standing near
them, who also appeared to have some
thing to do, which is an unusual thing
with the natives, who seem always as if
they had never done anything and
never intended to do anything. In re-
ply to our inquiry, we were told thai
the horses had just been threshing; that
the sheaves of corn are put into an in
closed place like pen, and the widest
come atable horses are driven in and
dashed to make them kick and jump
and so the wheat is threshed.
1.-The horse" says MAYORS Spelling
book, sis a very useful animal;' but
surely none but the Guachos know its
value. When the milkman comes in
the morning ard is asked for the butter
ordered, he will perhaps say that he has
not made it yet. Back he Chambers on
his horse, where he sits surrounded by
his milk cans, and on he trots. Pres
entity he dismounts, opens his cans,
skins the butter of the top of each,
puts it into cloth, mounts again, and
trots about selling his milk as he goes
al ing. After few hours he returns
and hands in the butter; and not bad
butter either when it is sailed and set
tied up.

We suppose that it is the curse of all small
places to be cramped down to small ends. Ger
tainiy Hawaii is. There is great lack of broad
views amongst large section of our community.
Every aim in life, every change in politics, every
scheme even when proposed for the benefit of our
fellow men, is brought face to face with the ques
tion, does it pay? Many government measures
are never meant to pay. The dollar has been
growing and growing in power of late years, till
there is danger of its swamping everything and
becoming truly the almighty dollar. Nothing
is more cramping to the intellectual life of ma
tion than the greed of gain; our youth instead of
desiring to cultivate their minds. no sooner get
slight smattering of arithmetic and bookkeeping
than they rush off to earn paltry So or 81 week.
by sweeping out, carrying bills and doing odd jobs
round an office; from this they advance to the po-
sition of clerk, and so gradually to the higher
posts of trust. But what are such men, SO made
Their intellectual faculties are unframed save in
one direction; they understand driving hard bar
gain they are shrewd, they are in a certain sense
liberal, but the great world of science literature
and art is for them terra ineognita it is rarely
that they can rise to heights of pure patriotism,
that patriotism which is willing to sacrifice its
substance for the sake of its duty. It is we'll for
the country 10 be warned and to fly from that
idolatry of modern times, the worship of the al
mighty dollar.

The gentleman whose name heads our article
has created a considerable interest in our Island
community during his few weeks Of residence by
his persistent and repeated attempts to place him
self before the public. We first hear from him
in connection with Grant and Miller on the coolie
question, subject entirely to every one of rs,
but still full of interest. He succeeded SO well
with this that we became at once convinced that
the right man to solve the Indian mystery was our
friend of the Royal Reserve. Let him. then, be
sent at to St. Stephens, with extraordinary
powers and large salary. 1t goes without saying
that he will accept the position.
In another weekly paper we have the learned
Centleman's opinion of what the Government
ought to do on the subject of coolies That is
what make of it A friend says that we have
entirely misconceived the authors idea-that his
article was intended to convey the thought that the
local propinquity CT repressed erudition in the
councils of the Government could only be ac-
counted for on the supposition that direct reti.
cence was necessary for its faithful support. We
cannot. however, think that this is true We leave
the public to decide.
But our friend has at length made his appear
ance in a new role as Honorary Secretary of the
Royal Hawaiian Planters Association, appointed
at a meeting held at the Hawaiian Hotel, by
Grant, Nicholson and Bragstocks, we presume, as
it seems to PRO Tenn quite unimportant to
name who were present, who presidc, or who ad-
vised visit to the King, ETC., and Specally who
S. to the Honorary Secretary pro tenn. These
questions are interesting, but of course unim-
portant, and especially the last for who for
S5 nowadays?
1t is pleasing also to note the readiness with
which, at "Pro Tem's' request, everybody, and
more particularly the Cabinet, accepted their new
offices in the Royal Hawaiian Planters Associa-
ton. 1t shows plainly that they appreciate the
advantage of office. One or two of them certainly
had the grace to add to their acceptance, If
elected and we believe, too the Interior Depart
ment was diplomatic enough not to commit itself !;
but then what could you expect from that diplomat
of the Interior?
Taking all these efforts together, we congratu-
late Hawaii nei upon possessing gentleman of
such varied talents our " Pro Tenn" He is
willing to>represent us Envoy Plenipotentiary and
Minister Extraordinary at the Court of st. James.
He will travel through Europe and the Indies for
years, Just long please to pay for it or
he will take little clerkship or he will accept the

AND now we learn from the Adrertissr that this
kingdom ought to be supplied with much larger
military force. Our contemporary takes us Sc
verely in hand for sundry disparaging references
made in columns to thepresent military forces,
and suggests that we ought to spend much more
money than we do on that important arm of the
government We all know what this means. Go
on friend Advertiser and impress the natives with
the idea that few hundred thousand dollars more
of the peoples money should be expended upon
them for this purpose. They like it, you know,
and you may perhaps make a break in the cabinet,
or force its resignation on this question. You
are public benefactor. and have reason to growl
at the " money-bags' withholding their confidence
from you. Moreover, there is chance to curry
favor in certain quarters by pressing the military
ideas which is not to be lost.

IT SEEMS that Moreno has been headed off by
kilograms which reached him at Washington. We
must congratulate ourselves that we have been
saved from the modification of his attempting to
present his credentials to the King OF Italy, at
other European courts Italy, in common with
England and most of the continental powers, will
allow who is or ever was a subject, to exer-
else before it any diplomatic authority. We hear
that Judge Allen found time to keep Moreno at
bay in Washington until the arrival of the tele-
grams resembling his mission. But we are not
through with that man yet To say nothing of the
charge of the foreign education of Hawaiian
youth, with the expenditure of $4,000 for that oh
ject, which is still entrusted to him, his place. we
suspect, is kept warm for him here by his former
extra Ministerial colleague. The squeezed

man, is not SO easily cast aside. Arcadians both,''
their efforts to do harm will be limited only by
their power to arouse the prejudices of some and
to impose upon the credulity of others.
