The Robin.

Nv old Welsh ncighbor over the way
Crcpt slowly out in the sun OF spring,
Pushed from her her locks of gray,
And listened to hear the robin sing.
Her grandson playing at marbles, stopped,
And cruel in sport, as boys will be,
Tossed a stone at the bird who hoped
From bough TO bough of the apple tree.
s'Nay,' said his grandmother" have you not heard
NV poor, bad boy, of the fiery PIT,
And how drop by drop, this mercilul bird
Carries the water that quenches it?
He brings cool dew in his little bill,
And lets it fall ON the souls of sin;
Won can see the mark on his red breast still
Offres that scorch as he drops it in.
Nv DOOR bron ruddynl my breast burned bird,
singing so sweetly from limb to limb,
VERY dear 10 the heart of our Lord
Is he who pities the lost like him.
"Amen!'' sal / 1 to the beautiful myth;
"Sing, bird of God, in my heart as well;
Each good thought is a drop wherewth
To cool and lessen the fires of hell.
PRAYERS Of love like rain-drops fall,
Tears of pity cooling dew,
And dear to the heart of our Lord are all
Who sntfer like him in the good they do"

Locusts as Food.

Diodorus Siculus, who lived about
so B. c., described tribe of locust
eaters in Ethiopia, who were accus-
toned to secure their yearly supply of
food by setting much combustible ma
terial afire in a valley when the swarms
of locusts passed over, so that they
were stified by the smoke and fell to the
ground in vast numbers, to be subse-
quently gathered in heaps with salt and
so preserved. Owing to their peculiar
diet these people never lived to grow
old, being eaten up by maggots which
bred in their flesh. Locusts are much
used for food in Africa today Flights
of them are considered such a blessing
by the natives in many parts that the
rain doctors are employed to fetch them
by their lamentations. = Washington

somebody

There's A meddlesome somebody going about,
And PLAYING his pranks, but can't find him ont
He's un-stairs and down stairs from morning till
night,
And ALWAYS in mischief, but never in sight,
TIE rogues have read of in song or IN tale
Are caught 1T the enI, and conducted to Jail;
But ..Somebody's" tracks are all covered so well
lie never has seen the inside of a cell.
Our young folks at home, at all seasons and times
Are rehearsine the roll OF Somebody's" crimes;
Or fast as their feet and their tongues well run,
Come to tell the last deed the sly scamp has done.
..Somebody' has taken my knife" will say;
Somebody has carried my pencil away
Somebody has gone and thrown down all the
blocks;''
,ssSomeboiy' ate up all the cakes in the box"
1t is somebody breaks all the pitchers and plates,
And hides the boys seds, and runs off with their
skates,
And turns on the water, and tumbles the beds,
And steals all the pins and mels all the dolls heads
one night a dun sound like the thump of head
Announced that one youugster was out of his bed;
And he said half asleep when asked what 1t meant
somebody is pushing out of the tent"
Now. if these high crimes of somebody" don't
cease,
We must summon in the detective police;
And they in their wisdom at will make k nown
The cuprit belongs to no house but our own.
Then should it turn out, after all to be true,
That our young folks themselves are Somebody"
too,
How queer it would look, ii them all go
Marched off to the station house, six in a row!

Foreign Immigration,

The n. Y. Herald remarks very
sensibly as follows:
When we were younger we well
coined anybody and everybody. The
man who couldn't get living with
all the opportunities we offered in
those days was either sick or fool.
We were building railroads, mills,
manufactures, and could use almost
any sort of material. Good wages
were paid, because, in spite of the
hundred of thousands who came to
us yearly, there was constant need
for more Drawn and muscle. 1t seem
ed as though the importing of all
creation could not glut the labor
market, and glad to see transatlantic
steamers at our docks as crowded as
hive is with bees. But things have
changed during the last twenty years.
There is now on the average round
million men. vast army, constantly
out of work. Competition has cut
down the wages of the laborer and
employment is uncertain. Manufac-
turers have become conservative and
no longer take chance as they did
formerly. The railroads which were
then in progress of construction have
been finished and the men who built
them have been forced to seek other
fields.
Europe, however, seems to think
that America is a good dumping
ground for all disconnected and I'M
desirable elements. Steamships COM
panies have scattered wild fabrica-
tons of endless wealth to be had for
the asking and have reaped a rich
harvest by the transportation of the
lame, the crippled, the halt, the blind
every one who could beg, borrow
or steal money enough to pay his
passage. These steamships are own
ed by foreigners who have no interest
in our institutions and whose whole
aim is to pocket their profits. The
time has come when vigorous meas
ures for our protection should be en-
forced. For the sake of our own
people we ought to limit immigration.
If man has money or brains there
is room for him but if he can't add
to our national prosperity by intelli
gence and enterprise we ought to tell
him plainly that he had better stay
where he is. Until we do take that
stand and maintain it we shall be the
asylum for the misfit humanity from
every quarter of the globe.

Teachers of American

Teachers of English are plentiful in
this day and generation, but teachers
of American are to be met with only at
rare intervals. In this city, however
there are several of the latter who com
mand good prices for their services, and
who find ready employment at all
times. Foreigners who have been
taught English in the schools Of their
native land find themselves completely
at sea on their arrival here, and many
of them who can afford it employ teach
ers to instruct them in learning the pc
culiar idioms employed by the Ameri-
cans. The localism especially they
find most perplexing to master, and the
teacher must be well up on all the man
nerisms and slang expressions of the
day. The bishop of the Russian church
in this city has a young lady employed
to teach him American, and he finds it
a most necessary part of his education.

The Englishman's breakfast.

An American should always under
stand what is meant by q breakfast in
London. He will probably take break
fast in his lodgings, or, if he lives in a
hotel, in the coffee room at q fixed
charge. There are two distinct classes
of breakfast, the light and the sub
stantial, with prices to match. The
first is one cup of coffee, one boiled
egg and three slices of toast; the latter
is one small chop, one egg, a penny
loaf of bread, buttered muffin and
coffee. The principal dish of this lat
ter menu is varied in lodging houses
from day to day, the chop becoming
sausage on Tuesday, ham on Wednes-
day, fried sole on Thursday, and then
the lonely chop again, with the subse-
quent rotation kept up ad infinitum. =

RESOLUTIONS OF THE PRIVY
COUNCIL.

At meeting of the Privy Council of
State, held at Iolani Palace on Thursday,
Jan. %, 1891. the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted;
AFTER reign longer than that of any
other sovereign of Hawaii but one, the
earthly life of our beloved King. Kalakaua,
was closed at $50 O'Clock on Tuesday, the
10Th day OF January 1891 in San Francisco,
California. United States of America.
Failing health for some months past
made it seem advisable that he should seak
to regain it by voyage to the more bracing
climate of California, and inspired with
this hope. he left his kingdom in Noyen4-
Der last. The voyage and change of cir
cumstances at first seemed to benefit him,
increased vigor, and he sunk to sleep
scarce nine days ago in a foreign land.
The friendly ship which the Hawaiian peo-
pie were waiting for with expectant eyes,
came this morning, bringing back, not
their Sovereign in renewed health, but,
alas. his lifeless remains. The decorations
of loyal affection preparing for his recep-
ton are speedily changed into those of
mourning. and we meet to-day in the i'm
pulse of a common sorrow.
The reign OF our departed King was
memorable as an era of remarkable and
increasing prosperity. In the seventeen
years of his reign, now closed, this nation
has made rapid strides in its mateEis!! IN
dustries, education and the arts of ciyiliza-
ton.
but Seath comes alike to King and COM
moper, and the seventh Sovereign of Ha-
wal has gene TO join the roll of the illus
tsious dead. We humbly bow to the will

REsoLvED, That the Privy Council of
State here assembled, join with his be-
loved Consort, His Royal Sister and rela-
lives, and the Hawaiian people. in ex-
pressing our great sorrow at this untimely
decease of our late King.
RESOLVED, That the foregoing preamble
and resolutions be entered upon the re-
cords of the Privy Council and published
in the newspapers of this city, and
RESOLVED. That the members of this
Council wear the customary mourning for
period of thirty days.

regarding British warships having
been ordered to this port, is like
many of the reports printed abroad
about these islands, without foun-
dation. The following telegram is
a sufficient REPUTATION of the canard
VICTORIA, B. c., January 24th.-It
was learned here this evening that a
rumor had gained currency in San Fran
cisco that British man-of-war had left
Eseuimalt for Honolulu to convey the
news OF the death OF King Kalakaua and
that the vessel would reach Honolulu a
day or two before the arrival there of the
United States flagship Charleston with
the Kings body aboard. There is no
foundation for the rumor. The only
man-of-war at Esquimalt now is the Mel
pomene, and she has no orders to pro-
coed to sea.
