Ready for Emergencies.

1t is an excellent plan TO consid-
er beforehand, what we had better
do in various circumstances that
may suddenly and Unexpectedly
arise. If, for example, the house
should be on fire, or burglars break
into the house, or one of the chill
dren be taken with the Group in
the night, and then if the trial
should ever come, we may be ready
and equal to the occasion. Think.
What would you do, if toni ght you
were reused from your slumbers by
the cry of fire, and found your house
burning down over your head :?
What clothes would you put on !?
What things would you take out
first? Where would you place
your most valuable articles 1t is
astonishing how few people ever
think Of these things beforehand
If it ever passes through the mind,
it is quickly banished as horrible
vision, with the inward ejacula-
ton, Heaven forbid! Don't let us
us think of it for an instant! or,
What is the use of borrowing trou-
ble2
But this common mode Of dispos-
ing of such thoughts is far from be-
ing wise. Such things do happen
frequently, as every newspaper at
tests, and because we have so far
escaped, is no reason why we
should escape in future a similar
trial, although it certainly is a
good reason why we should render
heartfelt praise and thanksgiving
to HIM who has so far kindly de-
Tended US from so many perils, and
as we should "show forth our graft
itude, not only with our lips, but
in our lives" we ought, not only to
consider how much suffering might
be avoided by due precaution and
care, but also be ready, SO far as is
in our power, to render effective aid
in every emergency.
The excellent writer, Jacob A b.
bolt, in one of his stories represents
an invalid lady who exercised
this providence to such degree,
that although unable to leave her
couch, she bad, by her direction,
every drawer, box and closet in the
house, appropriately stored with
whatever might be needed upon
various occasions. One day her
little nephew came to see her, and
while playing in the woodshed cut
his finger. He ran in to her. She
bound up the wound, then said
ELLEN, go up into the garnet and
open the third trunk, counting
from the west window. In the
right hand front corner of the
trunk you will find a small box.
In the box you will find three cots.
Bring the smallest one to me-"
This is only an illustration Of how
we may be ready for minor acct
dents.
1 have often spoken of the i'm
portance of being ready for an at
tack of the Group, which generally

BE Charitable.

AS the winter approaches every
community should lay plans for
special effort in charitable work.
There should be no Encouragement
over the reflection that the means
are comparatively limited. Re
sources may be wonderfully en-
lafged with a little effort and self
denial. The giving which pleases
God most is that which deprives
the giver of some pleasure or graft
hcatlon. Giving even Of our
abundance, may be made the source
OF a joyful experience. We are
told OF a miser who in despair and
disgust started to commit suicide,
and as he went along came upon a
poor woman to whom he gave lit
Tie money, thinking he could use
1t no more. He discovered at once
a new source of happiness, and
went back to find great JOY in that
winch he was just about to throw
away as worthless. There is no JOY
like the joy of giving, and the char
lty OF the narrowest purse could be
enlarged by system and fore
thought.-Er.

A WHITE HOUSE CLoCK.-There
is beautiful clock with all inter
esting history in the White House.
1t is an alabaster clock, surmounted
by a statute of the Muse of History,
and it has licked in the White
House time out of mind, for it was
a present from Bonaparte to Lafay-
cite, who gave it in turn to Wash
ington, who decreed that it should
be handed down to his successors in
the Presidential office. And so,
while the Presidents come and go.
the clock ticks on and tells its tale
of time to all alike inpartially.

WATER's CoLoR.-If one asks you,

says it is shade between blue and

FLOWER PoTs.-Fancy flower
pots for house plants are much more
expensive than the plain ones. But
with a little Chinese Vermillion

terry can be made quite ornamental.
Paint the body of the pot with YER

The effect is much prettier than
that of the burnt clay, and you
have fancy pots at trihe more
than the cost of the common ware.

SQUASH PIE.-Squash is a more
delicate material for pie than
pumpkin. An Evening Post
Household Hint" tells US how to
make good squash pie: "Do not
attempt to make a squash pie un-
less you have at least three eggs to
spare for. each pie. Beat the eggs
until they are as light as it is pos
sible to make them; then beat the
eggs and squash together till it all
looks foamy; add milk enough to
thin it sufficiently; bake in a mod
crate oven, and success is certain"

The Honol.nhnn Veller. Maui.

HoSoKAHAu, Sept 18th. Issa.
EDrroB GAZETTE Dear Sir, will YOU accept a
sketch of this beautiful HOnokahau Valley at the
extreme North end of Maui.
At the mouth. deep iulet between cliffs Of 90
feet altitude is too open TO the trades to make
good landing or safe anchorage. From this TO
two miles inland lies valley averaging Goo feet
wide at the bottom, with but slight ascent. be
tween pals growing from 800 10 500 feet. The
entire bottom is filled with taro patches. One Of
the largest streams IN the island winds through
the whole, wasting nearly the whole volume Of its
water in the sea- Above the taro lands, the valley
bottom rises more rapidly, becoming an enormous
cleft on the long mountain sides and extending in
q direct line TO junction with the head Of the
Wailuku valley, II miles Distant From The point
at the mountain summit I have seen the hamlet
at the shore, directly through the long gap.
The uplands are hardly suited 20 cane. It
would be too costly TO lead the stream 4 or miles
from the valley bottom along the pail sides. in
order to irrigate only about 900 acres that would
be available. Honokahau seems likely to continue
a favOrite home Of the Hawaiian, like its sister
valleys Of Halawa, Waipio and Honomanu. Even
from this very lHaaiaa spot the old-fashioued
matched house has almost disappeared. Very
pretty wooden cottages have taken their places
nesting among the brilliant oleandors and green
tarO patches
have at last found one place ON Hawaii where
the musquito is unknown have slept here sew
eral nights without nettings Can any naturalist
suggest reason Why no mosquitoes are found In
this valley of taro-patchesy In like manner. Ke-
auae on f. Maui is devoid Of heas, Of which
regret to say this place IL not.

Lead us not into Temptation.

DEAR SE We are anxiously awaiting TO see
the result Of the liquor law which comes into
force OH the lst prOx., and although agreeing In
the main that the natives Of the soil should have
equal rights with foreigners. vet knowing the sad
appetite of the native for liquor il is Ia our opin-
ion, easy 10 fOresee the state into which this new
law viii reduce them. 10 cannot be an "experi-
ment,' as some write when already know the
results the exact parallel would be to give children
matches, or throw them into water; at the same
time telling them they must not drown themselves.
As il is not very clear about the prosecution Of
publican for making man drunk against his
viii, let US suppose that visits say three
bars IN the course Of an evening, and although
sober at the third bar be mixes his drinks taking
at three bars say, champagne, port and whisky
respectively, which naturally makes him perfectly
incapable. Now, Mr.. Editor, We should like 10
know the law IN a case similar b. which MANY
must occur, for It cannot be possible that under
such circumstances, any one could take am action
against the innocent bar-keeper. And again. as 10
adulteraiiOn Of liquors, wonderful change must
occur in the liquors imported into Honolulu II Il
can be found that on arrival. they are free from
adulteration- As We SOW. SO must We reap. and the
absurdIty Of giving the native spirits and caution
ing him through the Law agent the excess Of rs
use will be soon apparent.

The fact Of our Planters having held a
convention last April. has been favorably
commented on by the papers interested in
the sugari industry of Australia they urge
that similar conventions should be held in
the colonies and assert that such meetings
will be productive Of very great good. One
strong point they consider is the political
iafaeac, Of such body speaking of their
own government machinery, the Mary
borough Sugar PloHter says, the tricks OF
legislation are many, and parliament OF
planters. meeting once a year in some OF
the prominent towns. would tend to pro
mote good legislation. We'can see that
great practical results would emanate from
such an institution This shows pretty
conclusively that others as well as the
planters of Hawaii keenly consider the
rights Of such body as the Planters La
Dor and Supply Company, taking part,
and when necessary an active part in po-
litical matters.
A fortnight ago the "organ was in
Weighing against the editors of the Plant
as Monthly, for trenching upon political
matters; it added that this was depart
ure from the rule laid down in the first
number. This, in common with so many
statements published in that paper, has no
foundation in fact The mouth piece of
the planters distinctly states that it was
their plan TO secure the enactment of
necessary laws by every legitimate means" I"
in short " to push the government" II
would be sheer absurdity for body which
has at stake the largest part of the capital
of the kingdom, to neglect that most i'm
pOrtant factor in the affairs of the coun-
try. politics Ii Is their undoubted right
to discuss as freely as they please all po-
litical measures. and the efficiency or in
efficiency Of the men who are appointed
10 carry ont these measures; when they
disapproye Of either measures or men
TO express that disapproval firmly, and
when necessary, to use their full strength
IN overthrOwing the men or defeating the
measures OF those who are obnoxious to
them
All large trade interests have associa-
tions both in the United States and in
England, and such associations become
important factors when elections are at
hand candidates have to be careful TO
conciiate such bodies in order to obtain
their vote bills are presented in the
Houses for the benefit Of such bodies, and
cabinets have been upset because they have
miscalculated their strength when desir-
ing TO measure il against them
There is no question Of rings or Of un
due influence in such matter 1t is the
undoubted duty Of body like the planters
TO cause their voice 10 be heard in an au
thoritatiye manner in the councils OF the
state we may look forward TO hearing
that voice shortly. After snubbing the
chosen officers Of the company so persis-
tently during the past few months. it is
not very likely that the transparent at
tempts now being made TO curry favor with
the p l.. a S. Co. viii 20 down.
The planters when they meet will re
member that they have matters very much
in their own hands. that their strength
when united Is enormous, and that what
they say. as a body cannot be thrust aside
but that it Holi be listened TO and acted
