LOVES FIRST KISS.

Sweetheart, twas but awhile ago-it scarce
seems yesterday,
Though now my locks are white as snow and
all your curl are gray
When, walking in the twilight haze ere stars
had smiled above,
whispered soft: Il love you," and you kissed
Inc for that love.
The first kiss, dear and then your hand-your
little hand so sweet,
And whittier than the white white sand that
twinkied meath your feet
Laid tenderly within my own. Have queens
such lovely hands?
No wonder that the whip poor-wills made
sweet the autumn lands!
1t seemed to me that my poor heart would beat
to death and break,
While all the world, sweetheart sweetheart !!
seemed singing for your sake;
And every rose that barred the way i'll glad
and dying grace,
Forgot its faded summer day, and, leaning,
kissed your face!
envied all the roses then, and all the rosy
ways
That blossomed for your sake are still my life's
bright yesterdays;
But thinking of that first sweet kiss and that
first clasp of hands,
Lies whip-poor-wills sing sweeter now
through all the winter lands!

OPPORTUNITIES.

At a dinner given in the town not
long since the talk about the table
drifted into discussion of certain
books on metaphysics which within
q few years had made deep impress
ion on many minds. Some one was
speaking of the quality of the author
work, of its peculiar value as q prep
aration for an understanding of suhtler
subjects which subsequent writer's
along his lines had expounded. The
beautiful woman who sat near the
host looked up and said, You do not
mean you find anything of value in
that man? His tone is so irritating
to me, | can't understand anybody's
liking him.
This ended the discussion OF the
man, for the talk, as it always must
among people careful not to destroy
by dispute the charms of a dinner
when it runs upon snag of disagree
ment, swept easily about into another
and a different channel. The next
day, however, the beautiful woman
called upon the interrupted speaker.
81 have lain awake half the night, J"
she said, thinking of what | did. 1t
was so stupid in me to speak in that
way. | contributed nothing to the
discussion, and | shut away from my
self an opportunity to widen my know
ledge in new direction"
This shutting away of opportunities
from ourselves is a sin of which the
majority of us are guilty, though few
of us, like the lady at dinner, are so
wide awake spiritually as to perceive
our fault

M4TERL4LISM AGAINST WIT

Some things of course in the French
display-especially of pottery and
bronzes-are purely decorative, and
some of the visitors of course are des-
titute of taste. The consequence is
that occasionally a person will come
along who will gaze at objects of trans
cendent artistic merit with no feeling
but one of mystery and curiosity. So
it happened the other day, when a
simple minded woman stopped for
awhile in front of one of a pair of
vases feet high, the price of which is
$1,000.
She gaZed at it attentively for few
moments ana then said dryly to NJ.
Melaile, who stood by, Pray, what is
that for?'
The Frenchman took her measure
at a glance and replied with elaborate
politeness, That is. intended to boil
eggs in, madam"

THE FOLDED HANDS,

Some hundreds of years ago in the
quaint old city of Nuremberg there liv-
ed two boys, Franz kingston and
Albrecht Durer. They wanted to be
artists, and entered Michael Nohlge-
muth's studio for instruction. The
parents of both were poor, and work
ed hard to provide for the boys till
they should be able to care for them
selves. Both boys were industrious
and frugal and atfectionate, but AL
brecht possessed genius, while Franz
had only an intense love for his art
Shadowy visions of beautiful pictures
haunted him, but his was neither the
hand nor the brain to realize them on
canvas.
Years passed, and still the two
friends hoped and toiled on; one went
to Italy, the other continued his stud
les in Germany. Franz married, and
by and by Albrecht. Their parents
died, and times were hard and art was
dull. Gradually some measure of
success came to Albrecht, and he shar-
ed his earnings with Franz, and still
they worked and hoped on
So time went by, till one day they
planned together to make an etching
of the Passion of our Lord. When
they came to compare their work, the
drawing of Franz was cold and lifeless
while Albrecht's was instinct with
beauty and pathos. Franz himself
saw the truth then. He had reached
middle age, and he knew that his
work so far had been Il failure. He
felt now how vain was his hope of
success, because, as he at last realized,
the artist soul had not been born in
him. 1t was as if he had spent all
these years in standing on a house
top trying to reach the stars. But
he did not murmur, only for one pas
sionate moment he buried his face in
his hands. Then he said in voice
broken and sad, but still full of man
ly courage:-''The good Lord gave
me no such gift as this of yours,
but something he yet has for me to
do-some homely duty is somewhere
waiting for me. So long as | was
blind, and l have lost much time
But now-be you the artist of Nurem-
berg, and /"
Still, Franz be quiet one moment"
cried Albrecht, Selling paper from
the table.
Franz thought he was adding some
finishing touch to the exquisite draw
ing, and waited patiently, standing
with his hands twined and clasped
together Albrecht drew a few lines
with a swift pencil; then he showed
Franz the paper.
why, those are only my own hands, -
Franz said, ''for what-where did you
get them ~
And there was hardly need for an
answer.
Il took them as you stood making
that sad surrender of your life SO
bravely. And | said to myself, those
hands that may never paint a picture
can now most certainly make one
have faith in those folded hands, my
brother friend. They will go to mems
hearts in the days to Gomez
And the words of Albrecht Durer
were true. Into the world of love and
| duty has gone the story more touch
ing and helpful in its simplicity than
| any comment ON it could be- And
over the artistic world has gone the pic,
ture, for the Folded Hands, by AL
brecht Durer, are but the hands of
Franz Knigstein, once folded in sweet,
brave resignation as he gave up his
hearts dearest wish, and yet had
faith that the Lord had some homely
duty worth his doing.

THE "OHRONIOLE's" COMMENTS
An Assertion That Minister Blount
Has Resigned,

Even James H. Blount, who was
sent to Hawaii by President Cleve-
land as an executive commissioner
and afterward appointed United
States Minister, seems to be worn
out with the shillyshally and dilatory
policy of the Administration, for he
has forwarded his resignation to
Washington, and when a Democratic
officer-h holder resigns matters must
be in bad way.
The fact is evident that Mr..
Cleveland and his Cabinet are sadly
at loss to know what to do about
Hawaii. 1t was very easy to pull
down the edihce constructed by the
Harrison administration, which, had
it been completed, would have re-
suited in annexation, but all the
genius and statecraft of the Demo
cratic party do not avail, it would
seem, to build up anything in its
place. The only suggestion that is
made is to establish protectorate-
a measure that would suit nobody.
The Provisional Government has
shown its ability to maintain law
and order, and there is no disposition
on the part Of any foreign Govern
ment to take forcible possession of
the islands and overturn the existing
order of things. What need, then,
can there be for an American pro-
teCtorate
1t is the duty of the Administration
to come to conclusion on this ques-
ton. If we are to accept the offer
made US, and take in the Hawaiian
Islands as part of our territory, it
should be done without further delay.
If we are to decline the offer, it is
only fair to Hawaii to make the an
nouncement of the declination at
once, so that the people of the islands
may negotiate other arrangements
for the future.
1t probably seemed to MI Cieya
land a brilliant stroke of policy 10

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.
The Controller Says Eastern Banks are
Sound,

WASHINGTON, June Controller
of the Currency Eckels to-day said
he had been watching the New York
and Chicago banks closely, because
a break there would be a serious
thing, and that he was satisfied the
banks were in strong condition.
AS to Philadelphia the same thing
was true.
Senator Henderson, President pro
TEN of the last Senate, said to-day
that he did not believe the situation
to be nearly as bad as it looked.
1--WE are, he said, "more frightened
than hurt; that is, there is no founda-
ton for as much alarm as is felt"
Speaking of the prospects of re-
pealing the Sherman law, he said
The Sherman law cannot be repeal
ed by the next Congress unless sub
stituted by free coinage of silver in
some form. They may put more
silver in the dollar, but free coinage
will be insisted upon as a condition
to the repeal of the Sherman law. -

ALL ARE UNITED.
The People of Hawaii Are Solid For
Annexation.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Prank p.
Hastings, for long time Secretary of
Foreign Affairs in Hawaii, and who has
been Acting Consul-General of the
United States there, Consul General
and Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs,
arrived here yesterday on the Alameda.
He is on his way to Washington to
take the position of secretary of the
Hawaiian Legation under Minister
Ihurston.
Secretary Hastings talked last night
at length concerning the situation in
the Islands. He said that while GER
tain reports from Honolulu had made
it appear that public sentiment and the
officers of the Provisional Government
were veering from annexation, the op
posite was true. There was, he said, a
more united feeling in Hawaii now in
favor of annexation than there had ever
been.
"All reports to the contrary, notwith.
standing, this is the case" he said.
"That was the idea OF the function of
the Provisional Government. 1t was
merely a prelude and preface to an
nexaton And now we are just waiting
to see what this Government will do.
All our interests certainly lie with the
Pacific coast and America, and theirs
with ours. 1t has afforded US a great
deal Of satisfaction to note the unity Of
sentiment on the coast in favor of an
nexstion.

does it manifest any disposition to
