Do Good.

Thousands of men breathe, move,
and live, pass off the stage of life,
and are heard OF no more. Why?
They do not a particle of good in the
world; none are blessed by them as
the instrument of their redemption.
Not a word they spoke could be re~
called, and so they persisted. Their
light went out in darkness, and they
were not remembered more than the
insects of yesterday.
Will you thus live and die, 0 man
immortal? Live for something. Do
good, and leave behind you monu-
ment OF virtue that the storm of time
can never destroy. Write your
name in kindness and love and mercy
on the hearts of thousands you may
come in contact with, year by year.
You will never be forgotten. No
Your name, your deeds, will be as
legible on the hearts you leave be-
hind as the stars on the brow OF eve
ming. Good deeds will shine as the
stars OF heaven.

snapped greedily at the baited hook,
and the young man lost all his de-
preston in the excitement of pulling
them in; and when the owner of the
line returned he had caught large
number. Counting out from them
as many as were in the basket, and
presenting them to the young man,
the old fisherman said:
81 fulfill my promise from the fish
you have caught to teach you when~
ever you see others earning what
you need, to waste no time in fruit
less wishing, but cast line for your
self"

VARIETIE Els.

When a man has no mind of his
own, his wife generally gives him a
piece OF hers.
People are sooner reclaimed by
the sidewind of surprise than by a
downright admonition.
"She stoops to conquer" Can
this refer to the fond mother who
bends over her hayward boy with
number five slipper!
"You're q dear girl" he sighed
alter paying Tor two oyster stews
and three>tourths of a pie tor her, and
she thought him just too awtullY
sweet and affectionate.
A miller in Peru, Indiana, fell
asleep in his mill and bent forward
till his hair got caught in some ma
cninery and was yanKed out, and OF
course it awakened him and his first
bewIldered exclamation was: BLAINE
it, wife, what's the matter now p'
"Annie", SAID fond husband to
his wife, "what were the current ex>
penses for last month 2" "Oh," she
answered, "Only twenty-elght cents"
"Why, how was that?" "Well you
see, | only baked cake twice, and
therefore used very few currants."
There are ladies who should be
very careful when they eat corn
from the cob. At a watering place
hotel the other evening, a lady at
dinner made so trighttul bite at the
ear that, when she released it, her
upper set OF false teeth came with il.
A youngster, while warming his
hands over the kitchen fire, was re-
monstrated by his father, who said:
Go away from the stove; the weather
is not cold" The little fellow, look.

replied: II amt heatin the wea ther;

Forgiveness-A little boy and
girl were playing by the roadside.
The boy became angry and struck
his playmate sharp blow on the
cheek, whereupon, she sat down and
began to cry. The boy stood looks

Mr.. Moody on Memory.

In one of his last discourses in Bal.
timore, where he met with great
success, Mr.. Moody claimed that
memory is one OF the things we are
going to take away from this world
with us. lord Bacon took the
ground that everything we have ever
said or done or read or heard will
come back to us after death. Mem
DRY, l take it, is the worm that dieth
not. Cyrus, the Persian general,
had such an extraordinary memory
that he remembered the name of ev-
cry soldier in his army. Many liter,
airy men have been able to quote
everything they have ever written.
Many of you mourn over your short
memories, but you will find them
long enough by and by. Memory is
Coos officer, and all He has to do is
to touch its secret spring to make US
miserable. All He has to do is to
say, Son remember You, who are
sitting the counsel of friends, and
going INTO pleasure to escape from a
quickened conscience, be assured that
you will hear from memory after
a while. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the
memories of the past will come. l
have heen twice at the point OF
death, and like the twinkling oil az
eye everything that 1 had ever said
or done came up before me. You
ask me what it was, but l cannot tell
you now. We talk about the res
cordlng angels, but God makes us
each our own recorders. We daily
write our own biographies. BY and
by it will all come back. You say
there is no hell. Beware how you
trifle with eternal things. Fool with
the forked lightning or with the
dread peslilence, but beware of tri-
fling with the things that are beyond.
One OF the prisoners in yonder pen
itentiary told me that life would be
bearable there, We're it not for the
eternal thinking. 1t is not the iron
bars; it is not the coarse fare; 1t is
not the enforced labor; no, it is the
thinking of what they might have
done that gals them. We pass one
third of our tine in sleep, and we
get into amusement much of the re-
mainder, and our mem cries are not
aroused, but it will be different by
and by. The thinking time is CONS
ing. That is what makes hell SO
terrible; The thoughts of the lost ops
portunities, the misspent days. 1t is
taught over and over again in the
Word of God that if we die i'll our
sinsw here God is we cannot come,
and yet we SO heedlessly on.

Cast a Line for Yourself.

A young man stood listlessly
watching some anglers on a bridge.
He was poor and detected. AT
last, approaching basket filled with
wholesome looking fish, he sighed:
eff now l had these would be
happy. | could sell them at a fair
price and buy me food and lodging"
II will give you just as many and
just as good fish," SAID the owner,
who had CHANGED to overhear his
words, "it you will do me trifling
favor"
"What is it?" asked the other.
"Only to tend this line till | come
back; wish to go on a short Grand"
The proposal was gladly accepted.
The old man was gone so long that
the young man began to get impa>

The Cleveland Leader, which has long
been known as leader among the pro
gressive and respectable American papers,
has added to its popularity and reputation
for responsibility and truthfulness by its
action in regard to the Hawaiian Islands.
When the S. r. Chronicles crusade was
begun against these islands, and its mis-
leading editorials and garbled reports of
Hawaiian affairs denounced so severely
this Government, and implored pity for
the victims of what it termed our "slave
SYSTEM" the Cleveland Leader, with many
other papers, republished some of the
Chronicles slanderous articles, and added
their own editorial comments to the same;
and the Chronicle was only too glad to pub
lish the Leadet's remarks among those of
other journal supporting that paper in
its warfare.
Col. H. S. Spalding, when he saw the
Leader mentioned among the Chronicles sup
porters, wrote to that paper an extended,
fair and truthful account of matters here,
reinforcing his own statements with stats
tics from reliable sources figures that
don't lie The Leader not only published
the letter in its columns but afterwards
issued it in pamphlet form for distribution
thus endeavoring with honesty of purpose
to correct the impressions it may have
previously caused when echoing the state
ments of the Chronicle. This was grace
full and an honorable action on the part Of
the Leader, and one which will be under
stood and appreciated by all.
Saturday press. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1880-1885, 1882-03-04

"The Chronicle has often asserted that the
treaty. or tho construction that the monopoly
i, allowed 10 nut upon It aud practically en-
force, briugs American labor IN this city and
State in direct ard rninous competition win
tho slave or servio labor employ cd on the
lslands, and in fact transfers rom mere 10
Hawaii q vast amount OF labor which, freed
from the treaty. would be done here. IS. r.
Chronicie, Ftb. 10.
Nine-tenths of the Chronicle readers who
are following with breathlcss interest the
romance OF reciprocity now running through
the columns of that journal and ninoty-ninc
one. hundredths of the readers Of other jour-
nails in which the Chronicle romance is ro-
printed (for this fiction is not copyrighted) are
believing without question the astonishing
revelations that enliven 1t.
Why should they question: They know
nothing of the staple products OF this king
dom beyond the fact that q portion of it is
duly mingled with the delicacies that delight
their paatcs, while they peruse the Journal at
their morning meals.
Figures have a very honest look; a column
of them is convincing and with an ingenious
display Of figures, tho Chronicle confounds its
readers. But between these broadsides, which
| intimidate if they do not demolsh the curl
ous, a careful eye detects one of those ridicu-
lous squibs so effectively employed b, the
| Chronicle in this campaign and which have
done more damage than all the honest argu-
ments that Journal was able to set forth.
The Chronicle reader is of course disgusted
with a treaty Which brings American labor
"in this city (San Francisco) and State in di-
erect and ruinons competition with the slave
"or servilc labor employed in the Islands. "
Aud he s positively appalled, at "the vast
amount Of labor which, freed from treaty,
would all be done here" in San Francisco.
We wish for tho enlightment of its readers
that the Chronicle would specify the charcter
of the vast amount of labor which, although
now done in Hawaii would, freed from the
treaty be done in San Francisco.
Would the cane bo grown there or would il
be cut, hermetcally sealed and sent ,hitlor tt
be ground : or would the fresh sap be canned
or condensed and shipped to San Francisco tc
be boiled there? or would tho boiled sap bt
exported in simmering state to be distribu-
ted among the coolers, clarificrs and centrifu
gals cf San Francisco? Unless the bulk of thi
work can be done there, the "vast amount o
labor" referred to, whether freed from th
treaty or not must be done Oh these Islands.
By the bye, what sit that the ChronicL; want
done there that is not already done, and wilt
would be left here to do that which cannot b
done anywhere else?
