JUSTLY, 81 any We'll 4hiOIuicu ODocI fCI
would say, that those who came from
the States to Christianize the Hawaiians.
tried to make them over in cast iron
mould of New England pietism. 1t
seems to me that our modern scientific
humanitarians in the policy they are
adopting, are trying to make over the
HaWaiians after the prevailing standards
OF nineteenth century mercantillsm.
The cry is, Away with this people, not
fit to be capitalists and managers of
trusts; nor trades-union leaders, seeking
for the horny band OF toll the scepter OF
rank and power. If it be true that
Hawaiians cannot be boss mechanics, or
merchant princes, or leading lawyers
and who. that knows them, has any idea
they ever viii achieve such social dis
tinction 2-haye they no right to life, in
dependence, and social activity in such
fashion as may best suit their national
peculiarities, even If this should be in a
style not in accordance with our ideas OF
culture The Westminster Catechism
does not give the consummafe ideal of
deity; it leaves out beauty altogether in
its enumeration Of the divine character
istics. Modern maferialism does not
uphold tie highest type Of humanity in
making economic values the sole test OF
human worth and dignity. Help the
Hawaiians to be good Hawaiian men and
women, is the true policy, in my opinion
even if they should not be Christians Of
such high-foned spirituality as Edward
Payson or David Brainerd; or such
mechanics. and Inventors, and corpora
tors as Pullman, OF Edison, or Jay Gould.

A Hig hway of Commerce.

Mr. Thomas Speed. of Louisville. in his interesting book, entitled Tho Wilderness Road" relates that prior to l792 there were two great routes of travel between the East and West One ran out from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh, thence down the Ohio river. The other led out from Balti- more, across the mountains of Vir- ginia, through the great wilder ness" by way of Cumberland Gap This lower road was improved by the Government and made post road and became the celebrated National Turn pike, or Cumberland road, the great highway between the East and West. It was intersected at successive points by roads leading through Virginia, the Carolinas and East Tennessee, all roads below Philadelphia leading west, converging at Cumberland Gap. The trade between the East and West was carried on over this road IL was par ticularly noted as great cattle trail, and vast droyes of hogs and horses and cattle were driven from Kentucky to supply the needs of the Atlantic States. For many years there was a line of stages between Cincinnati and Charleston passing through Cum ber- land Gap.

EVILS OF SPANKING,
A Punishment That Frequently Causes
 Brain spinal Troubles.

Brain or spinal Troubles.
 While children are much more in- iulged and considered in this age than ever before, they are still the victims of barbarous custom. 1 refer to the practice of whipping as punishment. Though it has long since been largely abolished in ou" own and other coun- tries as most inhuman mode of punish ment, little children are still beaten, cuffed, and spanked by fond (Oparents in most unconscionable manner. It is pretty generally conceded that cuff ing children on the head or ears, is frequently fraught with the most seri- ous results-many cases of deafness and even brain disease having arisen from this practice. Evils quite as grave, l am assured by lady physi- elan of extensive practice, result from the punishment known as spanking" Blows given with more or less sever- ity and greater or less frequency. in the region ot the spine. will. she con- tends, cause serious brain or spinal trouble.
 Moreover. the state of the brain and nervous system have great effect upon the disposition, and the shock which may possibly cure one fault, may, by disordering and deranging the nervous system, produce faults of much grayer and more complicated nature.-Marie Merrick, :n Ladies Home Joufna.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

In 1855 James G. Blaine and Mel. vile W. Fuller, the present Chief Justice, were reporters on papers in Augusta, Me.
 J. B. Blackstone, the clever En- glish playwright, was glad to get $500 for a piece fifty years ago. Now, popular play sometimes pays it's author or adapter $50, 900.
 Mrs. Roe, the wife of E. P. Roe, has erected over her husband s grave a handsome granite monument, with a number of quotations from his best- known works engraved upon it.
 -Zola is said to be the postpaid novelist in France. Mrs. Humphrey Ward has just been offered $5, 900 for story of thirty thousand words, and John Strange Winter refused an offer of $2, 500 for her next novelette,.
 Mss Fanny Forester, a young writer of workers poems and patriotic Irish ballads, whose fame and name have just begun to spread, died re- gently in England. Born in the ranks of poverty, her noble songs for the toilers won her popularity and a place in English periodicals.
 It is explained that the hapdsome fortune left by the late Prof. l.oomis, and bequeathed to Yale College, was derived from the royalties on his books, and not from his salary as a professor. The explanation Is rather superhuous, considering the way col lege professors are paid in this country.
 Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett was earning a small salary as school teacher down in Tennessee when she wrote her first stories. It is said that the stamps with which her first story was sent to Peterson'5 Magazine were made by picking blaekberries. Her early stories attracted little attention, aud it was not until That Lass O Lowrie'sn was published that she be- came known as popular writer.
 Miss Amy Levy, the young En- glish Jewess who promised to become notable in literature died a short time ago at the age of only twenty three. She was graduate of Newnhau Col lege, Cambridge, and her first work was little volume of poems. She afterwards turned her attention to fe- Sion, and her latest book, Reuben Sachs, ' was thought to be one of the cleverest novels of the year At her own request she was cremated al Woking. being the second of her re- ligion thus treated at this great crematory.

 Look there the sandman stands, And laughs at all such speeches. He shakes from out his hands The grains Of sand so precious R ght into Willie's eyes, And sets ths boy a-noddng,
 Then suddly he spies Toms look of bold defiance;
 He gives hearty throw The sand falls fast and heavy, And down his lashes go. He drops the sandgrains lightly On little Amy's head, Until she signs: Pm sleepy! guess-Tll go-to bed" They say goodnight demurcly. The sandman, wild with glee, Leads of as willing captives
 The merry children three, And sees them safe in Dreamland, Then soft away does creep To conquer other children-i

A New Game.

There Is new way to play with the letters, which are so much used in the various moro or less intricate word- making games. Try 1t, and see how much moro interesting and exciting it is than it sounds. Get half dozen wide-awalle people around the table, and then put the letter-box in tho hands Of some steady head who can be trusted as umpire. He will throw letter in the center of the table, and the first one in the circle who can tell a geographical name beginning with the letter in sight takes the letter; and the one at tho end who can count tho greatest number is the winner of the game. Any name of any place under our sun which is of sufficient dignity to possess a post-otfice is legiti- mate to use; any lake, river, mount tain, or sea. The players must be willing to abide by the decision of the umpire as to who speaks first, and also accept his ruling out of any word which has once been called l recent ly saw circle of grayheads kindled into excitement and enthusiasm, amid peals of laughter, over this simple amusement. It is curious to see that at the uttermost parts of the earth places are called and our most promi. nent cities and States ignored. It is good exercise for children, as it teaches their brains to work quickly, and improves their geography; but an adult hand should hold the letter-bo Christian Union.

 .Well, saw my new suit taken of the sheep's back Teddy, and l helped mother wash the wool, and watched Mr. Hammond card it into rolls. And then mother spun the rolls into yarn. and woye the yarn into cloth, and col ored the cloth butternut-brown, and fulled it. and pressed it, and sent 1t to Miss Abby Hart the tailoress, to be made and me with it to be measured.
 You can have your suit Satur day night said Miss Abby, smiling. And though I felt sure the time would never come. it did. and l went down across the pasture lot to Mir. Hart's, and took the bundle Miss Abby gave me, and flew homo again as though my pare Ieet were WlHgeu.
 ''I tried them on-the trousers and waistcoat and jacket-and strutted about, feeling very big and grand, in- deed. Then I took them off. Then 1 put them on again. to make sure the jacket sleeves were exactly of length, and finally mother said:
 You'd better go to bed now, Jo- seph, and tomorrow you can go to meeting and weE your new clothes.
 ''So l took them off once more, and hung them up on the big loom just over the sh-bench. And then 1 went to bed to dream that great big sheep was trying 10 get them away from me, and the first thing l really knew it was broad daylight and mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking IS if she wa nted to cry.

When she saw that 1 was awake she held up the jacket, and there-there was a hole as big as your two hands, Teddy, burned right through the bacl!n

 Don't cry any more,' said she. I've got some pieces like your suit, and Il take them down to Mr. Hart's with your jacket early in the morning. and tell Miss Abby about it, and I'll warrant she'll fix it up as good as new
