THE FUTURE LIFE.

The march of mind in its great quest
for truth is like work of tunneling
through a mountain. Marvellous is the
engine er's sagacity that directs the ad-
vance /; mighty are the forces that slowly
blast the rock strong are the arms and
resolute the hearts that push their way
on through the darkness toward the
| light beyond. But out on the mountain
side the glad sunlight is poured every
dew-drop glistens in it, every flower
drinks it, birds sing and children play in
its embrace. So, while thinkers are
working their way, there are countless
folk, simple or learned, who daily live in
untroubled and happy sense of a divine
love, from which they never can escape
1t is Life itself which, with its various
voices, teaches us the things best worth
knowing. And the voices which come
home to us with sovereign authority are
those of Love and Death, and, for the
mothers sake, shall we add, Birth? Let
one of the chief of women interpret for
the mothers,-it is Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, speaking to two parents who
mourn their child as lost
"God lent him and takes him. you sigh;
Nay, there let me break with your pain:
Gods generous in giving, say l
And the thing which He gives, deny
That He ever can take back again,
He gives what He gives. ! appeal
To all who bear babes. In the hour
When the veil of the body we feel
Rent round us,-while torments reveal
The motherhood's advent in power,
And the babe cries!-has each of us
known
By apocalypse (God being there
Full in nature) the child is our own,
Life of life, love of love- moan of moan,
Through all changes, all times, every
where.
He lends not but gives to the end,
As He loves to the end. If it seem
That He draws back a gift, comprehend
'Tis to add to it rather,-amend,
And finish it up to your dream
Or keep, as a mother may toys
Too costly though given by herself,
Till the room shall be stiller from noise,
And the children more fit for such joys
Kept over their heads on the shelf"
So speaks the women. And what has
the man to say? Here is he whom we
boast as the wisest and highest among
our American authors,-a man, too, so
wrapt in philosophic thought, so happy
in his lonely contemplation, that he
seems generally to stand apart from the
struggling, work-a-day world, where most
of us live. But the man is father, like
other men; his boy dies, and how does
he bear it? He puts his heart into the
tenderest poem he ever wrote, the
"Threnody." He looks longingly back
no just such pictures as other parents do,
the throng of children about the baby
in his willow wagon, led by the boy
with sunny face of sweet repose,"-the
painted sled, the show fort, the sand cas-
tie, the garden of which his "blessed
feet had trod every step,-and now the
boy is gone. The lonely father thinks of
it, and will not drown or forget his grief;
and slowly there comes to him the sense
that love can never lose its own. The
rainbow, the sunset, all beauty, all exper-
fences of the soul, teach him new les

As God lives, is permanent;
Hearts are dust, hearts loves remain,
Hearts love will meet thee again"
The moments when such convictions
flash in-such insights, rather-are an
assurance deeper than belief; but how
much can be carried forth from them
into common levels of everyday life :?
How much will stay after the first exalt-
ed hours? There are not many of whom
the world can take testimony on these
questions; but occasionally there is some
one in whom typical experience is
wrought out, and who has the gift of
expressing it, like Tennyson, "In Memo

that A. ]. Cartwright was the defendant
The Court said that if they meant the

A GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE.

The weekly Opposition organ said
on Wednesday: Government for the
people,, by the people, is what we
must come to in time, and the time
for its coming may not be so far off as
some people think" This is pretty
straight Republican doctrine from a
monarchiaI pen to publish in a cOnsti-
WIISIO
ties of literature, however, to which
the people of Honolulu have been
acoustic med only serve to show the
tolerant aud liberal spirit of the Gov
eminent. For indeed the Kingdom
now has Government by the
people " in the sense it has never had
before In the golden age of Hawai-
ian independence, to which our con-
temporary referred with so much
pathos, there was no Gov
eminent by the people, for the
people," but Government of cliques
for their own aggrandizement. For
what is the historical fact? Until
the coming into Office of the present
Government there had never been q
Minister in Office elected by any con-
stituency of the Kingdom.
How then could these Administra-
lions claim to represent the Hawaiian
people? They were composed of nom
representative men, however able and
estimable they might be individu-
ally. But the time came when the
people thought they should have u
voice in the Government, and they
elected man to the Legislature with
so large majority behind him as to
show Enthusiastically where political
strength lay, Mr.. Gibson, the present
Premier, being returned to Parlia-
ment by over three fourths of
the voters of the capital of
the Kingdom. The King, recog-
MIXING this fact, sent for this repre-
sentative of the people and asked him
to undertake the formation of Gov
eminent, which duty he successfully
accomplished. So it came to pass
that the Hawaiian people at last had
q representative man at the head of
their Government, who did not belong
to any of the governing cliques or
families. And this is the head and
front of his offendIng-the reason
why the welfare of the Kingdom has
been imperiled to weaken the Gov
eminent.
We are inclined, therefore, to think
that the time has already come of
which the Opposition paper speaks.
The next Legislature will doubtless
ratify the acts of its predecessor by
sustaining the political change re-.
ferred to, because the people at the
polls will most assuredly declare, by
their votes, their Interchangeable pur-
pose to hold themselves free from
slavish subservience to self-consti-
tuted leaders and political intriguants.
A government by the people for the
people" in Hawaii does not mean the
restoration of the old regime, under
which Ministers were puppets set up
and pulled down by ga power behind
the Throne greater than the Throne
itself" The Hawaiian people are
emancipated from clique rule, and
they mean to retain their freedom.

4 STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Considerable CONSERVATION prevails
over an important discovery just made
by Alibi Sahab Pasha, thesnew Minister
OF Var Immediately on being in
stalled in his aaw position Alibi Sahab
Pasha ordered all the various department
commanders to report the strength OF
their respective commands and their
present condition, and detailed several
officers to inspect the various posts. Their
reports have been received and show
that under GhOze Osman Pasha, late
Minister OF War, who was dismissed
September 25th, the army was almost
entirely neglected, and that large sums
of money voted for military purposes
were used in other ways than those for
which they were meant. Inquiry has
revealed the fact that the AdrianOple
army, supposed to be - 900 strong, con-
/ tains not half that number. The soldiers
/ have no uniforms and are shoeless. The
! cavalry is unable TO march, owing tC
! lack of horses and the necessary accou
/ trements. Four hundred horses and
1000 men, who have been fully equipped
are under orders to march at an hours
notice.
