A TRUE STORY.

A sorrowfull tale have to tell
OF the woful fate, that of late befell
The Presby terian bible aud the Baptist
curtain,-
The one that did it's a. don't know,
Pm certain.
Now the Presbyterian church is lovely
and neat,
With its pure white walls and organ
sweet,
And its pulpit fine, where the pastor true
Knew each holy morn just what to do
Till he went to find his text one day
When, lol the bible was taken away;
And eyes grew larger and little feet
Sought over and under the ENERGY seat"
And little heads wondered and larger
ones, too,
What scamp, rogue, or rascal such
mean thing could do,
Till one said, "Well, if he'll take time to
He'll repent of his sin; his hungry soul
twill feed"
The bible was gone; the preacher preach
As well as he'd done oft before,
While the warm summer days swept
swiftly away,
And Autumn oped wide her door.
When one Sabbath morn a cold littlo girl,
Intent on "making The fire."
Opened the door OF the "innocent stove
To her indignation and ire
There lay the bible as good as new,
AS new and unscathed as before
AS pure and as holy as Gods children
will come
When over yonder He opens His door.
The excitemcnt(O Gained down; the
town had rest
Till the Baptists as "pOor Baptsts" do,
Began to ''solicit" and tho people so kind
Were tried and found friends most true.
The church, dear to Baptists, grew cosy
and neat
And down from the bare white wall
Flow a curtain of crimson and texture
fine,
They now wish hadn't been there at all.
For one prayer meeting night, as proud
as could be,
They entered the sacred hall
And there 'bove the pulpit hung only the
rod,
Down was curtain and pride and all.
Now where was the curtain' Oh, me
Oh, my!
Not in stove-piPe, stove or book case
"There'll be many jersey jacket made"
Said one with long, long face.
"Some poor old tramp most froze to
death,
Perhaps it saved his life"
"1'here were twenty -one yards good
measure
The air with this was rife.
1T cost just fourteen dollars.
Who could have been so meant
We hung it there one week ago;
Twas the prettiest ever seen."
Well, time passed on, no fairy brought it,
And the wall stared blank and bare,
Telling of something that had been,
Or again would sometime be there,
When no other one than G. w. Smith
Said, "Why don't you look in your pool 7"
And 10, and behold! in the ''poop they
looked
And from there tho dank and cool
A good member pulled it out-'twas the
curtain,
But CHASTITY and hols-y and useless, that's
certain.
1t now hangs out on the Baptist fence
In token of thieves and men,
Who dive deep down in pool of vice
And wrecked and ruined come out again.
But another curtain is going up,
Perseverance brings reward;
And we'll not cast all the burden,
This time upon the Lord.
Prayers are good and faith and meekness,
And we feel these as before;
But we've helped ourselves some little
There's good lock ON the door!

NEW BRIDGES.

The new bridge at Kolelolc, about
IA miles from Hilo, between Halla-
lau and Honomu, is completed. 1t
is n Howe truss bridge, so feet span,
~ feet wide inside in the clear, and
has been built Il little higher up the
stream than the old one which was
recently washed away. The abut-
ments are stronger and heavier than
those on any bridge in the Kingdom.
Repairs to other bridges in the llilo
district are being rapidly pushed
forward; the abutmcnts for the Pa
paikou bridge are complete and the
span will be forwarded to-day by
the Likelibe. The next to be taken
in hand will be the Honolii bridge
near Hilo, which will be $50 feet
span or 5 feet larger than the old
one. All the work is being done by
the government under the supervi-
sion of Mr.. G.. n. Arnold who pre-
pared the plans.

CROWLEY VERSUS sQUIREs.

The following paper was read by
Mr.. d. NJ. Crowley, at recent
meeting of the Working Mems
Union, in reply to paper by Mr.. Il.
Y. Squires on the subject "How to
get rid of the Chinese
Mr.. Crowley said:
Since then the author of that paper
has had it printed and widely circu-
lated, it has been translated into
native and published in n native
paper, and copies have been mailed
to the States. TO all this there
could be no great objection raised
were it not that, from words on the
title page, it will convey the impress
sion that it has been printed for cir
culation by the Working Mems
Union of the Hawaiian Islands, and
is their manifesto on the Chinese
question, to which | cmphatically
object. | say it no more represents
the sentiments Of the Working Men
on this subject, than its peculiar
composition, lyric and otherwise, il
lustratcs their intelligence.
My chief object in writing is to
protest against the printing of this
paper in connection with the name of
the Working Mems Union, without
any notice of the intended intliction
having been given ut n meeting,
Every member of the society stands
in the light of n partner, and no one
member has the right to allow his
zeal or vanity to lead him into pur-
chasing cheap ridicule for his part
ners as our poet-prcsident has done.
Mr.. Squircs' Characterization of
the Chinese in our midst Is. to bor-
row his own phrase " scarcely
human;" it is eXtravagant, and, like
all eXcesses, will react in favor of
the party maIigned.
If the presence of the Chinese
here is an evil to the native and
foreign laborers, l ask have they not
been invited here Has not the
Legislature of this country sane
toned and encouraged them to come
in enormous numbers, and is not the
native Hawaiian Il majority factor in
the Legislature, and the executive
which contracts the whole business
of the country? Why then blame
the Chinaman who comes by invita-
ton? If the native legislator is not
sagacious enough to know how to
