Say Not, the Struggle Naught Availeth,

Say Not, the Struggle Naught Availeth.
Say not, the struggle naught availeth,
The labor and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.
If hopes were dupes fears may be liars;
II may be in yOn smoke concealed,
Your comrades chase cen now the flyers,
And, but for you, possess the field.
For while the tired waves vainly breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back, through creeks and inlets making
Comes silent, flooding in, the main.
And not by eastern windows only,
when daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,
But westward, look! the land Is bright.

One of Hawaii's Floating Population.

One OF hawaii's Floating Population.
From the Hcno, u!u Commercial Advertiser
The Knights Of Pythias boys at Honokaa,
Hawaii, do not do anything by halves They
had their ball programs printed at the Gazette
office, of course. They were forwarded from
here on the steamer Waialeale, but
when the vessel go. TO Hamakua on Wednesday
the 22d, she found very rough weather, with
high surf breaking on the shore. and was unable
to land her freight. The boys waited very
patiently and anxiously until noon Gil
saturday. and then realized that some. hinc
must be done, SO they got a native from
Waipio. who was willing 10 swim off to the
steamer. Into the surf he plunged with note
to Capt. Smythe and came ashore with the pro-
grams tied on his head. This manner of land
ing and the artistic get up of the dance
programs caused them to be in decided demand
after the ball, and to be carried away as SOU
venirs of one of the pleasantest reunions ever
held in Hamakua and of the bold feat of the dar-
ing Hawaiian surfman.
