HONOLULU.

A kissed city in the ocean afar,
The Sea Kings choicest. glowing star.
On an isle of extinct craters set,
With living fire, perchance. in thy
mountains yet;
In the blue Pacific's lap you sleep,
Bulwalked secure in your coral keep;
Your year. long day of summer weather:
Woos the health seeker to wander
hither.
With fruit and flowers your land is
tceming;
And soft sunshine is always streaming.
Playing hide and seek meath the mango
trees,
While their branches WOO the ocean
breeze,
And the Waikiki cocoa-palms, looming
grand,
Like great guardian giants, forever
stand,
Guarding your harbor full of sails so
pearly white,
That seem like spirits abroad in the
moonlit night.
An island song the native sings while
the guitar he fingers.
EAloha oe. Wen meet again" still the
stranger fingers,
For the delicious strains charm the
listening ear.
As the kanaka with song welcomes the
bright New Year.
Here in your golden sunlight, here in
your scented air.
Here where the Plumaria and Stcphano-
It's rare
Are bathed in their fragrance. by your
rainbow showers.
Here /. too. will sing Aloha oc' mid
jasmine bowers.
Other bards have told thy gorgeous
beauty DER.

The Local Paper.

David Davis has the following to
saw about local newspapers, which
we commend to the careful perusai
and consideration of our people:
Every year every local paper
gives from 500 to 5000 free lines
for the sole benefit of the commu
nifty in which it is located. NO
other agency can or will do this
The local editor in proportion to
his means does more for his town
than anyeother ten men, and all in
fairness, man with man, he ought
to be supported, not because you
may happen to like or admire bis
writing, but because a local paper
is the best investmentaco community
can make. 1t may not be brilliant
or crowded with more'thoughts, but
financially it is more of a benefit to
a community than the preacher Oh
teacher. Understand us now,we do
not mean morally or Intellectually,
but financially, and yet on the
moral question you will find that
the majority of the local papers are
on the right side of the question:
To-day the editors Of local papers
do the most work for the least
money OF any men on earth. Sub
scribe for your local paper, not as
d charity, but as an investment.

She Will Dust.

He had y back.load of feather
busters as he rang the door,bell on
Montcalm street, east, and when a
woman opened the door about two

me who lives next door9"

Chinlnoys.

In the year 1900, chimneys were
scarcely known in England. One
only was allowed in religious
house, one in manor house. and
one in the great hall of a castle or
lords house; but in other houses
the smoke found it's way out as it
could. The writer's of the
fourteenth century seem to have
considered them as the newest in
vcntion of luxury. In Henry
vII[.'s reign, the University of
Oxford had no fire allowed; for it
is mentioned that, after the stu
dents had supped, having no fire
in winter they are obliged to take
a good run for half all hour to get
beat in their feet before they retire
for the night. Holinshed, in the
reign of Elizabeth, describes the
rudeness OF the proceeding genera
tiou in the arts of life. "There
were," says he, every few chin
neys; even in the capital towns the
fire was laid to the wall, and the
smoke issued out at the door, roof,
or window. The houses were wat
tied and plastered over with clay,
and all the furniture and utensils
were of wood" In 1859 a tax Of
two shillings were laid on chimneys.

Trial by Combat.

One of the most remarkable
events connected with the law of
trial by combat took place in Eng
land in the present century. The
statute remained unrepealed, as
it probably would have been leftup
to the present day, if the following
had not occurred: One Abraham

down, he was acquitted at the
Warwick Assizes. An appeal be-
ing made, the trial came on again
at the Court of the Kings Bench;
and Thornton's counsel, awaiting
himself of this old forgotten and
unrepealed law, declared his client
ready to maintain his innocence in
single combat against the brother
of the murdered girl. Strange as
it may appear, there was no way
out of the difficulty. Unquestion-
ably, the law was still in existence;
though obsolete for centuries; and
the lawyer insisted upon the right
of I'LL appeal to it. William Ash
ford was mere boy, besides which
such a proceeding would probably
not III any case have been allowed,
there was no alternative but to dis
charge Thornton. An act was, OF
course, at once passed to prevent
anything of the kind. happening
again. Public feeling was such
that Thornton went to America,
where he died not long after. In
this curious way did "Trial by Com

Tr,,il, and Love,


The works OF man shall crumble and decay,
His boast 10 brass and bronze shall pass away,
But DER the flowing years OF tide and time
The Truth shall flourish in immortal prime
Temples and towers shall crumble into dust,
Silver and gold shall perish with the rust
And all things that we see, below, above,
Shall vanish from the earth but lasting love
The splendid wrecks OF pyramida and thrones
Can only mark the spot where human bones
Still meulder into earth without "a name
These vain memorials OF presumptive fame!
But Truth, and Love and Hope and glorious
Song
shall triumph over ages and DER wrong,
And cheer the dropping spirit in the night
When vice and vengeance battle with the right
