Short Excursions.

We do not understand why residents Of Homo
lulu do not visit plantations on the other islands
more frequently for purposes of recreation.
There is every opportunity for merchants, sales
men, artists or lawyers TO crafty their tastes for
new scenes OF quiet repose about the many large
plantations which may be so conyiently visited.
Any one who has q particle of curiosity must
enjoy n ramble among the cane fields, where u
multitude of laborers are constantly engaged, or
a stroll over the hills in quest of game, which
may be found in abundance. There is a pleasure,
too, in getting out of the noise and hustle of
city life into the calm solitude of nature. And
in the immediate neighborhood of many of our
plantations some of the finest scenery and
q~uietest retreats in the world may be found. 1t
is interesting also to explore the valleys and re-
cesses of the mountains or foothills, which are
never far distant and generally accessible. We
wonder that parties are not more frequently
formed to take a few days excursion once a
while to the now seldom visited localities on the
other islands. Men who are continually EN-
ployed in sedentary occupations especially, re-
quire seasons of rest, and nothing could more
pleasantly vary the mOnOtOny of every day bust
ness life than a picnic excursion among the
mountains Of Hawaii or Kauai. The managers
of plantations are proverbally courteous and

those who control q public institution because
forssoth they have paid nothing This IN my
opinion illustrates finely the spirit OF the Y. NJ.

money have not donated it TO the cause of young
men, bat merely invested ii in a sort OF Chris
tan stock company for the qualification of their
own vanity, TO manage as they please without
the interference of those who have paid nothing
and consequently have no business to grumble
if they get nothing. The new edi6ce has evil

TO visit its reading rooms they are offered the
use Of its halls under certain arbitrary ~restric-

actions or motives of those who are sole proprle-
tors of the concern, and vino are bound to give
%no-public account of their conduct. In effect

Mn. EDIToR,-I am surprised to notice a card
in a mpor signed by i've medical gentle
men, unanimously endorsing opinions on the
subject OF leprosy, of n sixth NJ. D., who has
but recently arrived in this Kingdom, and who
has no practical knowledge of the disease, but
rather bases his views entirely upon the opinions
of others, and writes only TO display his erudl-
ton or possibly to show that older experienced
physicians know nothing compared TO what he
does. What object could any doctor have IN
publicly endorsing q document which is nothing
but quotations from authorities on one side OF II
subject, complied by a physician who has IN
reality no practical knowledge or original theory
of his own in reference 70 the subject he treats I?
And who sare these FIVE physicians who rush
before the public TO declare that they believe
leprosy to be . eminentiy contiguous Are
they to be relied upon Only a few days aso
three of them in an official capacity examined
the Madras and certified that she was free from
disease, when the captain of the vessel himself,
the very next day edged that he had
what turned out to be about fifteen cases
of smallpox on board. Are such so-ealled
physicians worthy of any credit ar con-
fdence ? It is well-known that several Of
them have frequently declared heretofore that
leprosy was not contagious. Now they reverse
this opinion not because they have made any
new discoveries, but because they desire to gra-
tify a jealous spite, which it is well-known, that
several of them cherish against DR.. Fitch, for
thus alone can this uncalled for endorsement busl-
ness be explained. The idea which these medl-
| cal gentlemen thus attempt to impose upon the
public in contradiction TO their own former
opinions is not justified ny any fact in any sin
gle instance. If leprosy IS eminentlyc ontagi-
Gus, as they now allege, how does it happen
that thousands of foreigners have visited this
land and in numerous instances been VIGOROUSLY
| intimate with Hawaiian women, and yet in not a
single case has one of these transient visitors
been known to contract the disease. By making
this unwarranted assertion these medical doc
tors have only given us one additional proof of
u~ntrustworthy opinion. Some of them have con-
c~lusively shown that they are not fit guardians
of the public health by their report on the con-
dition of the Madras, which, but for the revela-
ton of the captain might have led to the intro
duction of smallpox into this community. All
of them have joined in endorsing the creed of a
physician who writes without any practical know
ledge of his subject and thus showns that they
know no more than he. Finally they have made
an assertion in reference to the disease in ques-
ton, which any non-professionaI man in this
community can refute, and which all experience
totally disproves. A LAYMAN.

Julian Hawthorne is finishing the novel
entitled Fortunes Fool" tina publication
of which was suddenly interrupted IN
MdcmriHqa's Magazine for want OF copy
Hdrper's Weekly say: We understand
that the novel, in its complete ioTa, was
sent to the magazine aud paid Tor before IT'S
first part had been published. But the
author, having had a new idea with respect
to the termination of the story, asked tor the
return of the last pages OF his AIS ana
when he had received them proceeded to re-
write and multiply them. Unfortunately
the new MS. never reached its destination,
and Mr.. Hawthorne thinks Ii must have
been lost in the. mails. AS soon as he could
overcome his disappointment and vexstlon
he began for the third time the conclusion
of the novel, which will be forwarded 10
London in a few days.

Last evening, when the sun went down,
And gathering darkness settled Ger the town,
Two human figures on the Fort steps stood,
Consulting low anent poor sinners good.
Said one . 1t grieves my heart that men will talk
Against our teachings and our efforts balk;
They dash aside the cup of grace they need,
And snap their fingers at our Church and Greed.
"our temperance labors they have set at nought,
For Prohibition we have vainly fought
The last enactments legislators made
Have proved our movements were but retrograde.
''Oh for the power our mission fathers had,
Through plant rulers, to coerse the bad
Persuasions useless, force alone can save
These wretched beings from the sinners grave
The other answered: Brother, let US ask
Are we fit workers at Redemption's task2
Have we, who seek to lead weak mortals in,
The ri yht to enter where abides no sin
I'D marvel much if thou shou,d'st answer yea,
Or could'st deny that thou hast sinned today /;
I warrant thou hast lied, and cheated too, ~
Though ranking high among the pious few.
HAST thou not given thy wares good recommsnd
Which to the knowing ones thou could'st not
vend?
And think'st thou mankind will heed,
And follow blindly wheresoe'er you lead?
may Brother, nay first purge myself
OF all thy sinful ways, thy love Of pelf
Then grasp thy sword, prepared for Christian work,
And seek to save where sin and danger lurk.
" Remember, he who would true temperance teach
Must first be temperate in his temperance speech;
Use no ~fanatical exaggeration,
Let Truth and Justice spare your mediation.
" With armor bright, and banner high in air,
Go forth to battle cen in Dagon's lair
Upon thy shield have these true words enscrolIed
He loueth Satan that loreh Satan's gold"
The first replied, in rather angry mood
ITO say tie least, your language, sir. is rude /;
1 came not here such lessons to be taught
Your words are with religious treason fraught.
"The members all shall cognizance take
OF your aspersions, and example make.
You are not with US in our pious fight
For dear, sweet Jesus sake - good night -
The other muttered, as he sauntered off:
HELL tell the Brethren that 1 sheer and scott.
Oh, that society would weed out cant and fraud
King Mammon stands between these men and
God?"
"Amenl" I murmured as he moved away,
So pleased was 1 with what heard him say;
His manly words and truly Christian tone
Gave proof that he is one of Natures Own.

HIS WORKS.
TIE DEAD PATRIARCH.
Old tree thy branches fifty years ago,
Thick set with spray and leaf and widely spread,
Made a faint twilight ON the ground below,
And never ending murmurs overhead.
But now unheard tie winds go wandering by
From thy dead stem the boash3 have dropped
away;
And on its summit, perched in middle sky,
The clear-eyed hawk sits watching for his prey.
Henceforth, the sogtoning rain and rending blast,
Summers fierce heat, and Winters splintering
cold,
Shall slowly waste thee, till thou lie at last
On the damp earth, Il heap Of yellow mold.
Thou wert a sapIing once, with delicate sprays,
And from that mold another sapling tree
May rise and flourish, in the coming days
When none who dwell on earth emember thee.

SONNET.

Youth, whose ingenious nature, just and kind,
Looks from that gentle eye, that open brow,
Wilt thou be ever thus, in heart and mind,
As guileless and as merciful as now?
Behold this streamlet. whose sweet waters wind
Among green knobs unbreken by the plough,
Where wild flowers WOO the bee and wild birds lind
Safe nests and secret in the cedar bough.
This stream must reach the sea and then no more
It's parity and peaceful mood shall keep,
But change to bitter brine, and madly roar
Among the breakers there, and toss and leap,
And dash the helpless bark against the shore
And whelm the drowning seamen in the deep.
Roslyn, April, 1876.
CIVIL WAR,
Ha, whittier rush We ? to what deeds of guilt
Why lift the sword again
Has not enough of Latin blood been split
To purple land and main?
Not with proud Carthage war We now, to set
Her turrets in a blaze
Nor fight to lead the Briton. tameless yet,
Chained on the public ways.
But that our country, at the Parthian's prayer
May perish, self-o'erthrown,
The wolf and lion war not thus they spare
Their kindred each his own.
What moves We thus ? blind fury Heavens decree,
OF restless guilt? Reply :
They answer not upon their faces, see,
Paleness and horror lie!
Fate and the wrong against a brother wrought
Have caused that deadly rage.
The!blood of unoffending Remus brought
This curse upon our age.
