You say the day is fair;
But my tired eyes, whose strength is lost
in tears,
See but the hard bare
Implying brightness of the sky that
hears,
With no soft shade of care,
Mans moan of dull despair.
You say the spring is here;
But why should 1, who ne'er knew of joy
of life,
Find in the May gOod-cheer.
Or heed that still earth's miracle is rife,
A bourgeoned sphere,
In the morning of the yearI
You say my soul is blind;
1t truly SO may be; only know
That l for peace have pinned.
But years go by, and regnant pain and
My restless spirit bind;
You yet say Heaven is kinds

A CARD.

Since establishing our Mission in this
city, we have frequently been solicited to
procure larger and more convenient quar-
ters for worship and Bible class, quite a
number expressing themselves as willing to
contribute toward the necessary expense.
We have now secured the building on Fort
street, formerly nsel as gymnasium, thus
ineurring quite a debt; besides, some
changes are necessary. Therefore we would
say to all who would esteem it privilege
to aid US in the matter that they can confer

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislative Assembly YESTERDAY
made some progress with the Appropri
alton bill, having disposed of the est
mates in the Attorney Generals De
partment, and several postponed items
In the Finance Department. Some new
votes were added, and reductions made
On the whole, however, the appropria.
tions stand with little variation from the
bill as introduced. SO far as yesterdays
work Is concerned. An item was added
to the Interior Department providing for
the payment of a subsidy of IS 200
during the biennial period for steamboat
accommodation between Honolulu. Mo
Iokal, Lahaina and Lanai. This vote
met with general approval. 1t was felt
that regular steamboat communication
should be kept up with the Leper Settle
ment. This would add to the content
ment OF the people, and prevent re-
currence of the complaints that had
been made to the committee which re-
Gently visited Kalawao. The Legisla-
ture also unanimously adopted resolu-
ton thanking the Hon. S. G.. Wilder for
his hospitable treatment of the members
OF the Legislature who had accepted his
invitation to visit the Leper Settlement
by the Likelike.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson presented
statement in detail of the expenditure q
$4,000 for the Board of Genealogy durg l

by vouchers. After short discussn,
it was referred to the Finance Con4it- S

The Supreme Court Judges ans
m1tted a written reply to a resolpon of ;
the Legislature, asking whether would u
be constitutional to pass a bill iposing a
special poll tax upon all Qnese in Il
the country or who may are here, c
such tax to be applied to IL relief of p
sick and INDECENT persons otheir own G
race as provided for by the ill submit -"
ted. The Judges declined answer or II
advise the Legislature upl the only II
question of doubt raised, 1t proceeded Il
to criticise the drafting of e bill which lie
was entirely foreign to tn reference to b.
their Honors, and is a dty the House II
will perform on its own ecount. The p
only point involved wa whether an A
Act imposing a specialtax upon one 81
nationality and exempng ali others la
would be constitutions 1t was en- &C
tirely competent to pas upon this gem III
eral principle of specia taxation with cl
put having the questiorraised for adju- w
1ication upon the law itelf. The Legis- 81
ature sought the guiance of the Su- ia
oreme Court to prevet it wasting time va
n discussing and pssing measure sil
which might ultimatly be ruled uncon- &c
titutional and void. This is what the of
constitution cOnteuplates but the tn
judges say they cahOt make up their be
minds regarding tb point except it is pc
pom argument. 80 far as the advice of pr
