Solitude.
BY ELLA WHEELER.


Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough Of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure.
But they do not heed your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

NUMBER "a
Of the Iron Noun.
tain SchOUl.

On the 26th day of February there
| was an exhibition in the Iron Noun
tain Public School. The Primary room
was very neatly fitted up with land
scape pictures, engravings and artifi-
cial flowers. The outfit for the occasion
cost Professors Vance and Davis quite
a sum Of money and great amount of
labor. Prof. Vance was stage manager
and Miss Mamie Piliey was organist.
The music was excellent.
The performance commenced at Z p.
NJ. 1t is impossible to describe the
crowd. 1t was vast, and packed about
as close as straws in a we'll tied sheaf,
but it was good natured and, consider
ing the jam, orderly. Few accidents
occurred. A few benches and q few
panes of glass were broken. The pro-
gramme included somewhat more than
fifty pieces and about one hundred anal
fifty performers. 1t will be impossible
to notice ali the meritorious actors and
actresses on the stage, and so we must
generalize the performance and only
specify some cases.
In respect to merit, the first place
must be given to the "Calisthenics,"
in which a large party Of boys and
girls. guided by some splendid music
by Prof. Davis, went through the
manuel calisthenics in school.
Next after this were the solos, kiss
Me Darling in the Morning." and
"Somebody's Coming When the Dew
drops Fall" They were sung by Miss
Minnie Horn. The songs are very
fine, and were we'll sung by grandly
beautiful young lady who has abund-
ance of brains.
Miss Elsie Cayce, as "Old Fashion,"
could scarcely be excelled. Miss EN-
ma Carter was good both in 1.-The
Dead Doll" and Little Grandma"
1t is rarely that we meet with five
as bright, sweet, pretty children as
those that acted "The Flower Queen"
or those in ''What Is Most Beautiful"
Miss Maggie Bennett, in "The Brok-
en-Legged DOLL" was the best actress
on the stage. Next to her came Miss
Sarah McCarty, in "Ali For the Best"
In clear, broad fun 1.-the Women's
Business Meeting" was q side-splitter.
Among the boys, we can notice Will
Shaw in "How He Had Him." Every
one in "Shall Our Mothers Vote" did
we'll. Charles Mcfarland and Earle
Mcdonald In 1.-THE Rival Orators"
were admirable. The grinding scene
was funny.
John Bennett, in Higher and High
err" was good, and so was Arthur
Guthridge in '.The Scene in Court"
and Hosea Davis in 'The Arkansaw
Traveller"
But for broad fun Ed. Carter, as
"Brudder Bones" and "The Squatter,"
could not be excelIed. The one that
came nearest him was Otto Hemmerle,
who had such an awful headache in
his stomach in "All For the Best"
But the description would be incom-
plete if it did not bring out Miss Blanche
Green as Miss Edith" showing the al
bum So her sisters beau and express
ing the hope that his hands are clean.
She is good singer aud u whoIe-souled
girl.
The exhibition was a grand success
throughout, and reflects great honor
on all concered. The greatest draw
back was the smallness of the room
compared with the number of the audi
euce. TIC.

The continual increase of commerce to
these Islands fully warrants this under

department speciality in my General
Business. l have arranged legal Power
of Attorney blanks to transact business
for the entry of goods at the Custom
House, and will also pay and discharge
freight and duty expense, and, ii re.

Merchants will find that the time EN-
ployed by them and their employees in
making out duplicate invoices and at
tending to the entries will be saving
to their business interests by placing in
the Brokers hands all such business.
The merchants of Honolulu, feel

signs she in uenced that part Of

Thus. for instance, the sign Aries gov
