In such a land as ours the evils OF
pauperlsm can never be 50 extreme or
threatening as in lands OF denser popu-
lation and OF more limited seasons of
production The man who would
starvc elsewhere because of his laziness
or lack OF employment, can make both
ends meet very comfortably in this land
Of constantly growing taro and bananas.
This generosity of nature which seems
to fight against the laws which else.
where regulate the relations of labor
and ioodsupply Is perhaps the greatest
obstacle to the social advancement oi
the native race. So that instead OF
being reason why things should re
main as they are, the very case with
which men can provide themselves with
food becomes a most imperative reason
why they should be stimulated to ac.
complish more by their labor than
simply satisfy their animal necessities.
The defects noticeable in Hawaiian
character lack ofenterprise, instability,
fitfuIncss of temper, lack of foresight.
contcntmcnt with an inferior good
are defects that could very largely be
remedied by wise governmental pro.
visions. Mr.. l.. r. Harrison, inspector
Of the money order system at Wash
ington, writes of visit of inspection
of the English postal savings banks
" In every town | was struck with the
enthusiasm which pcrvaded all classes.
after nearly twenty years trial in regard
to this institution which is in every
sense the workingman's fricnd." who
can estimate the blessings that would
to-day hover about every Hawaiian
homestead, had the present generation
been taught through the opportunities
afforded by savings banks to be in
dustrious, economical and appreciative
of the higher social blessings that money
can confer A bank. book is a conser
vator of character 1t educates in the
direction of stability, and independence
and industry. 1t stimulates to the
acquisition of property, and the i'm.
provement of real estate. 1t creates
the demand for better schools, and
wiser laws 1t enhances values in every
direction, and lessons taxes, and in.
vites immigration. 1t affects the health
of nation in that it provides greater
comfort and protection for the indi.
vidual, and secures for him in care and
professional skill what poverty canno,
claim and rarely receives. 1t builds
up character that is Of more moment to
the national life than all material gains.
There are now 6,3o2 post Office say
ings banks in the United Kingdom Of
Great Britain and Ireland In the
year 1880 there were deposited $751;.
400, 500, being an increase of s., ,o6o, sos
over the previous year. The aggregate
interest earned by depositors since the
opening of these banks is $37,a9S27o'
The maximum limit to deposits receiv.
able from an individual in year is
$3.50. 1t will thus be seen that the
yearly average of about two million
dollars interest is paid to class of mer

Before all the States had been called
for tile purpose, a motion that when
the convention adjourn it adjourn until
IL o'clock to-day, was put and carried.
A stampede of the delegates at once
began, and the band struck up lively
air, evidently under the superstition
that the convention had adjourned.
The chair secured order after many at
tempts, and the roll-call was finished.

Phillips Brooks on the drummer"

The Rev. Phillips Brooks, in the
course of his remarks at the New En-
gland commercial travellers dinner in
Boston said that commercial travellers
should be proud of their mission in
this most exciting and interesting nine
teenth century. This is certainly the
greatest commercial century that the
world has seen. One cannot 90 any
where to-day but he meets the com
mercial traveller The speaker had
seen a caravan coming into the gates
OF Damascus, and those in that cara
van, he said, were essentially CONNER
cial travellers, though perhaps some
what different in aspect from the gem
tlemen about the table before him.
Every age has had its characteristic
men, and they were generally travel
ing men. One age had its medieval
knights, another its roaming Grecian
scholars, another its German mechanic,
who went about from point to point in
Europe. In our age the commercial
traveller is distinctive. He sets clearly
the standard of the time. But he can
not accept the privileges without also
taking on himself the responsibilities
CT his calling. On him depend the
standards of peace and morals of our
time. This world is going to increase
or decrease in integrity. charity and in
the spirit of freedom and peace, ac-
cording to the spirit of our commercial
men. In Venice there was once law
that no ship should go to the East with
out bringing back to Venice some por-
ton of the magnificent ruins there to
put into the structure of st. Marks.
There is certain pOetical value in this
law, he averrcd, even for our own time;
no man and no ship has right to go
out in these modern times without
bringing back something to enrich the
humanitles of the age. Great men Of
old despised commerce. Virgil fore
told that, with the golden age, would
come cessation of trade. The best
and kcenest spirits of the modern age
look to commerce as the most potent
factor in the .humanizing of the world.
Iennyson, in his noble verse, discards
the conception of Virgil and sings his
ode to the glories of cop,merce. The
speaker believed that the best interests
of the race were safe in he hands OF
commerce and commercial men.

We wonder not that Bachelor Brown
Was not mnch liked in his native town;
The bows delighted to MAY him tricks,
And most Of the folks their eyes would fix
on distant objects when h. passed by
But he only thought that they were shy.
II so fell out on Christmas Day
That lads and asses went out 10 play
When snow Law deep in the fields hard by,
And bright and clear WIS the winter sky.
A snow ball battle was soon begun,
When 10! in the thick OF fight and fun
A ball was thrown with a sudden whlrl,
By bright and active laughing girl
Right through the window OF Bachelor
Brown,
Who starts TO his feet with O sudden frown;
And rushing forth he cries, with hiss,
"Who is the villain who dared DO this!'
They all fell back and were quite abashed
when they saw their neIgnbors window
smashed,
But the girl stood up and toss'd her head.
And with laughing eyes she archiy said:
Please sir, ] wanted TO bring you out
To join US in the SNOWFALL bout.
When Bachelor Brown saw the pretty face
And marked the figure soful Of grace,
II anger fed. and he stra'ghtway fell
In love with the saucy village belle,
A very strange thing had come to pass,
Twas found that the fractured pane OF glass
Was broken in shape ike human heart,
Which, of course, gave Bachelor Brown
start,
For he thought there must be fate in this,
So he sought the rollckng snowfall miss.
With such success did he ply s suit
That she cutie forgot his old repute
For when he proposed she couldn't say no,
And ere the coming Of next years snow
Bachelor Brown had charming wife,
Who proved the joy Of his altered life.
"A snowfall" they said in the little town
Had made quite a man Of Bachelor Brown"

Hit or Miss.

Bachelor Brown was quiet man
Whose scheme of life was charming pIan'
He merely wanted to live 81 ease,
With nobody but himself to please;
The doctors orders were only obeyed.
For Bachelor Brown was much afraid
OF looking ilorid and growing stout,
He dreaded the very name of govt.
He thought a wife was a useless bore,
And nothing in life annoyed him more
Than crying babes or a sudden draught
And he always frowned when others laugh

Cour1ting.

There's lots Of fun in courting,
If you know the way to do it;
It's the choicest kind Of sporting
Once you get accustomed to it.
DO your courting moderately,
AS a business. not favor;
Make haste slowly, it adds greatly
TO the; fun q piquant flavor.
Court your sweetheart in the kitchen,
In the parlor, in the park; "
And yon)l find the most bewtchin'
Time for counting after dark.
Court for love; most women like it,
Nay, am certain they all do;
And the fellow who can strike it
Once will banker for it, too.
Court a woman for herself, sir,
For the virtue that is in her;
Don't go courting for her pclf, sir;
You will rnc it if You win her.
Court - woman boldly, bravely;
Never court her for fool;
When you do, she'll teach you naivcly
How q woman scOrned can rule:
Court a woman for 4 wife. sir.
For a mother good and true;
And my word you'll find this life. sir,
Paradise enough for yon.
And such corrting beats strawberries
Peaches frozen in ice cream;
Champagne frippc. branded cherries,
'Tis a sunny golden dream.
