The Sandwich Islands.

TALK WITH THE SURGEON To THE KING
FORTUNES FOR SUGAR PLANTERS.
St Louis Times.
Dr. F. II. Enders and family, Just from the
Sandwich Islands, are guests at the Laclede
Hotel. DIR. Edners left ST. Louis six years
ago to accept a surgeons position under the
King of the Sandwich Islands, and that has
since been his home. He says the islands
are at present in a prosperous condition
financially and otherwise. \ number of
enterprising and wealthy foreigners have
been attracted to the country by reason OF
its unequaled advantages for producing
sugar, and immense plantations have been
and are being opened for cultivation Of the
sugar cane The average yield per acre is
five tons of sugar. The doctor states
that great fortunes have been made in a
short time in the sugar business, and cites
the case of the New York gentleman and an
Irishman who lately sold their plantation at
figures that cleared them 81 ,000, 900, and
another gentleman from Alabama who has
sold out at 100000 profit.
The islanders still suffer from that terri
BILE scourage, leprosy, and at present the
leper hospital contains 700 cases.
The disease is incurable. Aside from
this scourge DR.. Enders says that the
health of the islands is remarkably good.
Foreigners, he says, are seldom attacked
with Ieprosy.

WEIGHING THE BABY.
By {. L \.

Yes bring in the scales-weigh the dear little
Such one ne'er was born since creation be-
Take care line the basket with pillow OF
And cover him well from his heels TO his crown.
Our baby-our darling-our weIl-spriug OF
The world never saw such wonderful boy,
Hold him steady, papa, and let dear mamma
see;
Ana grandpa and grandma. come, count one
FOur-hve-six and seven-and eight-and,
yes, ninei
Nine pounds are you sure lookl the figures
are fine
Nine pounds, weighs our dear little nanny all
And every ounce dearer than jewels Of gold.
There. now it is over-his dear little head
Burrows cosy ana warm by mamma in the bed
See his tiny pink ears and his cunning pink
toes,
And his sweet rosebud mouth, and his cute
little nose;
Oh, the love he has Weakened, our dear baby
boy!
God given and holy, time cannot destroy.
But cen as we gaze on his slumbering face,
he shade OF the future sweeps over It's grace;
For We know that our darling the cold world
must weigh,
-
1t will spread for his weakness no cushion of
down;
No mantle his frailties to cover or crown
Nor en- will its standard be lofty and true;
Success Is its touchstOue of merit and who
Would fain win its smiles but two often must
learn
To datter what most he should scorn, loathe
and spurn.
God grant-oh, our boy it may not be thine,
Thus 10 bow and to cringe at an unhallowed
shrine.
May He keep thee from danger, temptation
and sim
Make thee lovely without, but more lovely
within;
For Yet one time more must our darling be
weighed
By scales, hands Almighty have fashioned
And, as they are balanced, his future viii
show
An infinite bliss or a Iimitless woe.
But when he came down from Gods beautiful
throne,
To be our dear boy, he came not alone;
God sent bright angel to point him the way
And He viii watch over him by night and by
day;
Turn the 'horns from his path; and, life's pill
grimage past,
God shall weigh him and find him mot want
ing at last.

Her Old Dress.


The Parisian.l
All you do not know how much courage
a woman needs who makes up her mind to
be always plainly dressed you do not know
what innumerable and irresistible tempta-
tions she is obliged to resist every moment.
To be wise with regard to dress is to be sub
lime. To pass by an attractive shop and to
see hung in the window fascinating toilet
that excites your admiration; to devour
this charming prey with your eyes to build
all kinds of castles in Spain with regard to
it; n dress yourself in your mind with its
coquettish laces, its gay ribbons, and to say
to yourself: Il will put two rosettes in my
hair; and white ribbon will do for the scarf
and | will use the lace and the waist
and sleeves, and then suddenly to tear your
self violently away from such culpable
thoughts, to reproach yourself about them
as though you had been committing a crime.
and then to fly courageously and heart bro
ken away from the temptation without even
stopping to ask its price. This requires
more strength of soul than to wage in terri
BILE combats. A remark which we heard
the other day, made with a stoical resigna-
ton and humility, seemed TO US to equal the
grandest words of the antique Spartan and
Roman heroines A woman was going to a
ball, to magnificent fete, and she was busy
selecting materials for her dress from a
quantity of soft, shimmerings silky stuffs,
which her eyes were devouring with delight
She asked the price of them it was very
high. Then, pushing them sadly away with
the tips of her fingers, she said, with sigh ::
''It's too dear-I will wear my old dress -
Ny old dress Do you feel how much sad
resignation lies under those words? 1t is
enough to bring tears TO ones eyes

Manners.


THE SOOTHING EFFECT OF POLITENEss.
Politeness has been aptly and truly liken-
ed to an air-cushiOn. There may be nothing
solid in it, but it eases the iOlts wonderful
ly. Good manners are the shadows OF
virtues, if not virtues themselves" And
bad manners" what are the sources from
which they spring Vanity, want of SYM
patty or sense, are some of them, and spite,
envy and Immature may be added. They
are about the most expensive luxurles OF
Iifc-if Injuries they are; for no one can
afford TO surround himself with the host of
enemies he Is sure to make by anindulgence
in unmannerly habits. Good manners, like
good words cost nothing, and are worth
everything. Sydney Smith attributes bad
manners to a lack of that fine vision which
sees little things, a want of that delicate
touch which handles them, and of that fine
sympathy which a superior moral organiza-
ton always bestows. A well-manered
man Is courteous to ''all sorts and conditions
Of men, He Is respectfully TO his interiors
as well as To his superiors. Canon Kings
ley tells US that the love and admiration
which Sir Sydney Smith won from every
one, rich and poor, with whom he came in
contact seemed to arise from his treating
rich and poor his own servants the noble
men who were his guests alike courteously,
CONSIDERABLY and kindly-so leaving a
blessing and reaping blessing wherever he
went.
4 reviewer writes From Baaurais homie,
Incidence, shyness, want of ease, or from
some false or vulgar estimate of what is
good taste many men neglect, in trifing
matters, that courtesy toward women which,
in important matters, would be sure TO guide
them. This is not it should be. A man
loses nothing by observing these little points,
for which there Is no better name than good
manners, which soften the intercourse of
life, and prevent 50 mary difficulties and
misunderstanding. 1t often happens that
incompatibiIity is one OF the sources of bad
manners, and that of two people each Is
afraid OF the other. and thinks him on her
alone rude; but this only applies TO the as
ISOLATION of two, and has no reference to the
absence of those outward graces which, in
an assembly of many, are of much effect"
