HAWAII, THE BEAUTIFUL.

The cocoa. with its crest of spears,
Stands sentry round the crescent shore;
The algeroba, bent with years,
Keeps watch beside the lanai door;
The cool wind fans the mango's cheek;
The mynah fits from tree to tree,
And zephyrs to the roses speak
Their sweetest words at Waikiki.
Like truant children Of the deep
Escaped behind a coral wall.
The lisping wavelets laugh and leap
Nor heed old oceans stern recall.
All day they frohc with the sands,
Kiss pink Tipped shells in wanton glee.
Make windrows with their patting hands
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki.
o Waikikil o scene Of peace!
o home Of beauty and Of dreamsl
No haven in the isle of Greece
Can chord the harp to sweeter themes
For houris haunt the broad lanais,
While scented zephyrs cool the lea,
And looking down from sunset skies
The angels smile on Waikiki.

A oUITRENT ODE.

"Thirty today7" Well, be it SO.
"Would I the years were twentyf" No.
81 loved you well at twenty" Then
Myself had scarcely doubled ten.
Since when I've toiled and failed and fought,
Hoped and regretted, learned and taught.
So, having won to mans estate,
Why should weary Of my mater
ask no marvel of surprise
Flushed cheeks or unacquainted eyes.
Nor holds there any spell for me
In ignorant simplicity.
Let the peach apple hang, though rife
With fragrant juices; mine the wife
Who brings me, wholesome, fair and good,
The ripened food Of womanhood,
Who crowns my measure to the lip
With fit and full companionship.
Mere homage to the girl owe;
I need the woman that know.
A sober strain, DEAR one that fits
With sobered hearts and sobered wits.
Yet take my gift of Easter flowers,
White harbingers Of SUMMER hours.
Gone is, and gone with lingering Lent,
'The winter of our discomfort"
Remember how Narcissus grew
Where planets, summer fraught with dew,
Watched Glion, and in swathes among
Lush meadows misty fragrance hung
Not sweeter than your breath.
Oh, there,
With such enchantment in the air
Aye, here or there, by night or day,
So all the world were far away
Our thirty years, methinks, might prove
Thirty good reasons why to love.

Greeley's Double.

During the life of Horace Greeley a
man who resembled him-and nearly
every town of any size had one such
citizen-found his way impeded by the
attentions thrust upon him, and which
were intended for another man. He was
commonplace person who took no in
terest in the questions of the day, but
possessed the famous facial resemblance
which impressed strangers. Such a
double of greatness had only to keep
silence and look wise to be mistaken
for his distinguished prototype. -Ex-

MUCH LIKE JOHNSTOWN.
A Bursting Dam in France Does Vas,
Damage.

The dyke OF the Est canal AZ Bouzy. France,
burst Monday morning, for distance of
100 yards The water poured into the valley
OF Aviere river and swept down that stream,
10 the Moselle, causing great destruction Of
property aud terrible loss OF life. Perhaps a
hundred houses were swept away, and more
than 100 persons were drowned. TIE pro-
perty loss will aggregate $1,000.
The list of the fatalities increases every
hour. one hundr d aud hneen deaths have
already been reported, but only fifty bodies
have been recovered II Is believed that the
death list VIII be greatly in excess OF the
figures above given when all the districts are
heard from. II is supposed that many OF the
dead were sweet into isolated places, where
II will be u hong time before the bodies are
found.
The whole REGION over which the thousands
OF tons OF water swept In a rcsisiless aood is
strewn with every sort OF wreckage. and the
country presents most desolute appearance.
In many places the early crops were swept
clean out OF the ground and the losses thus
incurred will be very heavy.
The Ayiere, a small, narrow stream, is now
In some places mile and half wide. The
railway IN the vicinity OF the Darnieulles
station was torn up. Rails and ties were
swept away and the embankment destroyed.
Nearly every bridge In the line OF the flood
was either destroyed or 30 badly damaged

commenced in 1870 and finished in 1854. In
1859 II was greatly strengthened. IL was
heavy masonry. $50 yards long. CO feet high,
and &c feet thick at the base. The masonry
was carried into the ground to u depth OF 80
feet below the level OF the valley into which
the reservoir discharged its water. II was
built against vertical face OF solid rock,
having maximum height OF IS feet. The
base rested on sand stone bottom OF
natural formation.
The distress among the homeless dwellers
OF the valley is very great aud in many cases
they appear TO be mentally Denumbed by the
calamity that has befnllen them. The gov

IRON AND COKE.
Some Prospects of a General Improve

The Iron Age, New York, publishes the
following Those outside OF the iron trade
seem to know more Of an advance in prices
than the majority connected with the indus

the newly acquired strength is not yet hercu-
lean. We have heard very little Of record

that Is a proof OF Improvement The reason
why higher cost brought about by dearer raw
material has not been reflected by corre-
spoudingly better figures for finished goods,
working on cheap materials and are giving
