Life at SARATOGA,

GCorres Detroit Post and Tribune.1
Whether life in Saratoga pays is a
question, especially if one stays more
than week. It seems as if the great
hotel must pay. Assuming that this
house has only 1000 rooms occupied
say 1900 people at SIS day each; that's
ST, 800 day. And to 1000 more for
extras, which is little enough, add $500
more for cottages, and we have $4,000 a
day. 1t seems as if this might afford
profit. There are sixty-three cottages
on one side of the court, which rent for
from SO to $50 day apiece, according
to whether it contains one, two, three or
four bedrooms, besides the parlor. OF
course board is extra, So. SO day. But
the expenses of this house are something
alarming. There are about 700 en-
p1oyes, and when the colored walters file
up and down the diDing-room they look
like the army of Arab Pasha waiting for
an attack. [ went through the vast
kitchen on Monday, and L never before
so completely comprehended the fact
that man is an animal. Everything was
as clean as it could be, but such dread
full masses! Rows of refrigerators as
big as bank vaults, packed with tons of
steaks and chops and outlets all ready
for the fire. Tanks of soup. Watts of
gravy. Reservoirs of coffee. Twenty
chickens spitted before one vast furnace,
slowly turning on rod, going about
like an itinerant missionary. Ovens like
the caves of Tartarus. Whether this
money comes back I don't know.
'sI am not sure that ali this nonsense
pays, said very uppish lady here to
lady friend of mine, yesterday. "These
places are all too democratic. It is
dreadfully humbling to one You never
know who may be sitting next to you on

SPECTATORS, gamblers, manufacturers,
shysters, merchants, mixed together,

nice looking man over yonder, crossing
by the music stand-yes, the one with
the tall white cashmere hat. His face
haunted me during my first three days
here. knew [ had known him in New
York, but who he was I couldn't for the
life of me remember. saw him talking
with nice people. I saw him dance with
that pretty Miss Van Dozen at the hop.
He looked at me reproachfully, as #
ought to speak to him. At last, in
fatal moment, I bowed to him. He
rushed up and shook hands most
earnestly and said, hat in hand, How,
how is madame now p knew his voice.
Don't tell. It was my old chiropodist!'

A BAT in the Bed.

Some girls aren't afraid; others like to
think they are afraid; while others pre-
tend they aren't afraid when they are.
These "three of kind were at
Mackinawx this summer. One said it's
silly to be afraid of bat; another said
they scared her almost to death; a third
said-nothing. One night bat appeared
on the bed. The girl who wasn't afraid
stuck her head under the bed clothes;
the girl who was afraid got up and
walked the girl who said nothing. She
came over and rolled the bat up in wad
inside the blanket. They took the
blanket to window, unrolled it so as to
let the bat fly out, and found that they
had been frightened by black stripe on
the blanket. Then they all tucked their
heads under the sheets and went to
sleep again.

THE BURIAL OF THE CID FLAG.
BY MARY A. BARR.

In May, 1868, the soldiers of the Twenty-third reg
emit of the British army buried with military honors
Newcastle on-Tyne the regimental flag, which had
sen torn to shreds at the battle of Minden.l
There is not in all the north countrie,
Nor yet on the Humber line,
town with prouder record than
neutrality-suspicious.
Roman eagles have kept its walls;
Saxon, and Dane, and Scot
Have left the glamour of noble deeds,
With their names on this fair spot.
From the reign of William Rufus,
The monarchs of every line
Had grace for loyal Newcastle,
The city upon the Tyne.
BY the Nuns Gate, and up Pilgrim Street,
What pageants have held their way!
But in seventeen hundred and sixty-three,
One lovely morn in May,
There was a sight in bonnie Newcastle
Oh, that had been there!
To hear the call of the trumpeters
Thrilling the clear spring air,
To hear the roar OF the cannon,
And the drummer's gathering beat,
And the eager hum of the multtudes
Waiting upon the street.
ust at noon was a tender hush,
And a funeral march was heard;
With arms reversed and colors tied,
Came the men of the Twenty third.
And Lennox, their noble leader, bore
The shreds of faded flag,
The battle-dag of the regiment,
Shot to a glorious rag;
Shot into shreds upon it's staff,
Torn in hundred fights,
From the torrid plains of India
To the cold Canadian heights.
There was not an inch of bunting left;
How could it float again
Over the faithful regiment
1t never had led in vain?
And oh, the hands that had carried it!
1t was not cloth and wood:
1t stood for a century's heroes,
And was crimson with their blood;
1t stood for a century's comrades.
They could not cast it away,
And SO with a soldiers honors
They were bury1ng it that day.
In the famous old North Humber fort,
Where the Roman legions trod,
With the roar of cannon and the roll of drums
They laid it under the sod.
But it wasn't tattered flag alone
They buried with tender pride;
1t was every faithful companion
That under the flag had died.
was honor, courage and loyalty
That thrilled that mighty throng
Standing bare-headed and silent as
The old flag passed along.
So when the grasses had covered it,
There was joyful strain;
And the soldiers stirred to noble thought,
Marched proudly home again.
The citizens went to their shops once more,
The collier went to his mine;
The shepherd went to the broomy hills,
And the sailor to the Tyne;
But men and women and children felt
That it had been well to be
Just for an hour or two face to face
With honor and loyalty.
-Harper's Young People.

Worry Worse Than Overwork.

DIR. Granville, in an article in the last number
of - Popular Science maintains that l00rry
breaks down men IN the midst OF business rather
than W We have in mind u citizen who
was once a successful practitioner in this city,
long retired from practice, and now a millionaire,
who holds that worry kills more men than were
ever killed by oyerwcrk. When people get past
middle life the danger of worry becomes much
greater. Men die in the midst OF sOme great or
imaginary trouble. This wealthy citizen, on be-
ing awakened one night by an alarm which was
caused by the burning OF one OF his own buildings

- There goes $40 900. | will go to bed and take

nothing to arrest the progress of the fire. The
fire companies were on the ground IT he went
out, being a heavy, clumsy man, he could do
nothing but get in the way he had no insurance.
but the loss could be made up far better by a
a dreadful cold and exposed his life all TO no pur-
Jokes about his loss. pictured 70 himself a man
weighing $50 lbs. going up a rickety flight of stairs
into a building filled with smoke, to carry out a
$40 bureau. That citizen, when he drew his
head in at midnight and concluded to take anoth-
er nap, was q philosopher who fully understood
the danger of worry, and would not encounter 1t
at his time of life. He took his own medicine
and proftcd by it.
No doubt, overwork does frequently exhaust
the reserves and in that way contributes TO a
breakdown. But worry most frequently goes
with oyerwork, the worker feeling that his posi-
ton is not comfortable, that if he does not reach
great results at once, life will, in some sense, be a
failure.

Z 3 Last week the boring of an Artesian web
on His MsJesty's property between Lunalilo and
Kinau streets, on the plains, was commenced bss
Messrs. Braydon and McCandless, the firm whpa
were recently engaged in sinking the bore at Ma
hukona for Mr.. Wilder. The alluvial soil at the
spot chosen for this well was found to be no less
than % feet in depth, after which followed SIS
feet of black sand, full of surface water and in
some places almost a quicksand. At so feet a
hard black lava rock was reached through which
the boring is now going on. The site of the well
is 80 feet above the sea level, and the surface
water in the bore rises just to the level of the
sea. From the result of the various borings al
ready accomplished on the plains, it is estimated
that water will be got at a depth of about 400
feet. AT the Government well on King street
the sinking is still through hard white coral, the
strata of which, at this point, appear to be of
greater thickness than anywhere on the plains.
The same may be said of this rock in the neigh
borhood of Diamond Head, where the work is
still in the white coral at a depth of more tha&
500 feet below sea level. Mr.. Fessler is still bag
thing with black rock of the hardest description
at the Palama well. Z

- The members of the Athletic Association
met on Tuesday last. After a lengthy and care
full discussion of all the circumstances it was re-
solved to look at once for a freehold site on which
to build a Gymnasium. This decision was arriv-
ed at on the ground that IA majority of the mem
bers had joined the Association distinctly for the
purpose of having Il Gymnasium erected for their
own use, and would retire from membership if
the matter We're not promptly attended to. 1t
was estimated that there should be no difficulty
in securing the means to purchase the ground
and erect the building, so as to have it ready by
the end of July next. With regard to the action
taken by the Honolulu Cricket Club, it was de-
cided to let the question drop until the Makiki
reserve had been put in order, and the Directors
We're in a position to say what facilities for crick-
ct they could offer to those interested in the
game. Messrs Freeth and Webb were appointed
a committee to take charge of the ground and
the Building committee, viz Mrs. Adams and
Messrs. S. b. Dole, J, F. Brown and F. Wunden-
berg were requested to obtain offers of suitable
sites, and were authorized to convene a meeting
of the Directors as soon as they should be ready
to report.

- Our young neighbor has had some Snow
drops laid ON his desk. by "A lady, over which he
moralizes in this wise - Dear little blossoms,
how they carry ones mind back to scenes almost
forgotten, to that happy spring-time of life. when
all was so bright, when there was no worry or
care, when the world seemed a very fairy garden.
One grows out of that period pretty soon" We
are sorry to hear this from our sad and care-worn
neighbor. We have not outgrown this pc
rod the period of ever sprinsing hope, and of
the everlasting song in the heart. The melody
of the spheres still will beguile us,-and this fair
world to our eyes is ever aglow with increasing
beauty.-Where before, our eyes only saw a mere
mass of evergreen, they now behold the infinite
wonders of the vegetable kingdom and we can
listen with rapt ears to the circulating life in the
roots and trunks of the mountain cedar, or in
tine stem of the snowdrop by our garden walks.
&c to, Brother. We are not growing out OF any
period of hope and enjoyment,-we are just
growing into it-What. if our step is a little slow
er and heavier rive hear the voices of the ever
lasting spring. We hear them in our constant
work and aspiration. While there is something
to do, some one to help and to teach, and one
has a heart to love, the JOY of spring should new
er pass away. We look not to ~snowdrops to
waken the spring tide of our hearts but tear
drops the tear-drops of the sick, of the weary
and worn, and of those who have no friends.
Those drops are the plummets of the soul, that
sound its latent depths. that waken up the cham
bers of the past, and rouse up memory and SYM
pathy so that our dawn and MONDAY are ever
before Us, and We feel gladly bound in a symPa-
thetic chain with the governing Spirit of Love of
the Universe.
NO radiant pearl, which crested fortune wears,
No gem that twinkling hangs from beautys ears
Nor the bright stars which nights blue arch adorn
Nor rising sun that gflds the vernal morn
Shine with such lust-s as the tear that flows
Down virtues manly cheek for others woes

IL The attention Of our readers is drawn TO
the importance of knowing thoroughly the
present postal rates. A great many people think
that because we are now in the Postal Union the
rates are the same to every country that is in
the Union. This is a mistake. The postage on
each half-Ounce of letter matter to the United
States. Canada. and Mexico is ) cents news
papers, samples, &c, , cents on each two
ounces. To all other countries that are in the
Union the rate is 10 cents for each half ounce Of
letter matter, and 3 cents for each 2 ounces of
newspapers or samples. In the sending of
letters, it Is optional to prepay the postage.
The letter will be sent, but, on its being de-
livered at its destination, double the rate will be
demanded for a letter not stamped. Newspapers,
samples, &c, must be prepaid, with ut least one
rate, or they will not be forwarded. Australia
is not in the Postal Union, and the rate remains
unchanged, viz, - cents for each half-ounce on
letter matter, and 2 cents for each newspaper,
without regard to weight. Samples and book
matter are charged 4 cents for each four ounces.
At least one rate must be prepaid to Australia,
or the matter Will not be sent. In stamping let
tiers, newspapers. or packages, it must be distinct
" remembered that only Hawaiian stamps can be
used. Mail matter stamped with United States
stamps will not be considered as stamped, and
will not be forwarded.
