two distinct ceremonies-the betroth-

IT is but seldom that a real good
specimen of the Damascus sword can
be obtained, for the art of working
and engraving this kind of steel is
dead. These swords are made OF al
ternate layers of iron and steel, so
finely tempered that the blade would
bend to the hilt without breaking.
The weapons had edges so keen that

surfaces so highly polished that when

OAHU COLLEGE.

The exercises in Pauahi hall, of the
Oahu College, on Thursday were very
suggestive. For over fifty years the
students on that spot have been fer
vently admonished as they were on
Thursday.
The average young person is not in
fiuenced by good advice. Facts and eX-
periences catch their eyes, and atten
ton. Burnt fingers are better than
sermons 1t is not the historical facts,
but the facts of the living present
that touch their minds, and warp the
courses of their lives.
Mr.. T. H. Davies, in some excellent
remarks to the students adviced them
to fit themselves for positions of use
fulness, and become persons whose
opinions would be worth hearing
And yet, taking living examples from
the persons on the platform, if an ag-
gravating student had risen up and
dohCd MI. bdFiCS. WHdL ID yOuI Uplu-
ion about a Monarchy" no doubt
his brethren on the platform would
have replied in a whisper: IT'S not
worth a sou marquee" And if another
aggravating student had risen and ask
ed DR.. Bishop the same question, Mr.
Davies would have whispered: Sin
cere, but utterly wrong" So the stud
ents are at once confronted with the
practical difficulty, as to how they
may become persons whose opinions
would be worth hearing" The question
would be natural enough, as the
State must reflect the moral and in
telligent condition of the people, and
morals and politics cannot be separat-
ed Under such circumstances, stud
ents would naturally feel that there is
a screw loose somewhere.
Earnest and valuable as the exer-
cises were, it is always we'll to remem-
Der the advice of the old New England
clergyman, who in accordance with the
old custom of offering a prayer over
land that was about to be ploughed
up, glanced at it. and said: Brother,
this land doesn't need prayer. 1t needs
manure
