TO WINTER.

Good Winter, hear this wish write,
Before the red leaves blow
Across the sky to droop and die
And sleep beneath the snow
Before the birds have taken flight
Unto CENTER cline,
And for my thought have left me naught
OF melody or rhyme.
The purple clusters in the leaves
OF grapes already ripe;
The chestnut burrs have burst; the slurs
Upon the robins pipe;
The cold wind whistling round the caves
The dawn's white gossamer-
All these awake the wish make,
Good Winter, just for her
My Love, blossom fair is she;
1.-the as lily stem;
Her voice and words so like the birds
Will make you think of them.
Good Winter keep her safe for me,
Leave to her face its smile,
And to her heart Of love that part
Which makes my wish worth while!

Just before the revolution IN Hawaii,
last year, Aka, Chinese merchant gave
King Xalakaua 81, 600 as a bride TO Sc
cure a valuable license to import and
sell opium Of the Sandwich lslanl5.
Kalakaua, after receiving the money.
which was paid in coin, gave the opium
monopoly TO another merchant. Aka
exposed this dupiicity, and aided in
overturning the old Minis'c- lie las
since died, and his Chinese executors
brought suit against the trustees Of the
Kings estate to recover tbs money.
The supreme Court of the Sandwich
Islands gave judgment for the full
amount OF the claim with interest.

wealth, $50; manufactures, 4aS: COM
merce, 315; agriculture, 252; education,
COG: population, 10; shipping, - per
cent. Mr.. Mulhall truly says that such
figures have never before been applica-
BILE to any nation in the world. and con-
cludes by saying that our next census
will show a population of 5000, OC0,
and accumulated wealth of 20, 00o, 900, =
900, or fifty per cent. greater than the
aggregate wealth of Europe ten years

former years. Last winter the writer,
going from Crescent City to Palatka on
the steamer, saw party of Northerners
thoot at every alligator that showed it
self. T wo of the party had revolvers,
one a rife and another shotgun. The
Captain permitted the constant banging
and said it was the usual thing. 1t is
true they never struck anything. Not
one in the party could hit a bend in the
river, but they scared away the alligatGrs
and unluckily missed Gripping any of
themselves. Detroit Free Press.

Mr.. James Payn has mentioned the
work of self denial by the soldiers of the
Salvation Army to secure funds for
mission work. A good deal has been
raised, but no self-denial will evoke
quicker recognition, says the New York
hdependent, than that by which one
soldier saved one and sixpence for the
fund by going without gas when he had
q tooth extracted. He was in earnest.

According to the Atlanta Constitution,
the pronunciation match promises to be
one of the diversions Of the winter. 1t
is even more exciting than the spelling
match and rather more destructive to the
lines of combatants. A match held in a
city of learning was taken part in by
professors, students, teachers and
journalists, none of whom were able
to pronounce more than three words
correctly. The majority went down
with decided rapidity. 1t seemed that
the simplest words were the most dill
cult to pronounce, and such words as
gaseous" obsolete" luxury" ''lux-
urious' and "allopa,hy" found ready
victims.
