The Old Mans Death.

'Tis sad to stand by any one
And watch the parting breatl;
To mark the pulse beats one by one,
And hear the watchers say, "Tis
. done''- ...1. .5.
A sad, sad thing is death.
But then, tits common to us all;
Each one must answer to his call,
And yield to him our breath.
He don't respect old age bereft,
Nor children in their bowers:
No care for whose sad heart is cleft,
He plucks his pickings right and
left
The ripe fruit and the flowers.
No matter whom his theft bewails,
He weighs the victim In his scales,
Though tears may fall il showers.
An old; old man is dying now: T..
His time is up to 20;
A hundred years rest on the brow
That's melting into ashes now
His locks ARE white as snow,
Tic old blood in his veins congeais,
His footsteps tread on midnight's
heels;
Life's lamp is burning low.
Twelve heavy strokes of brazen
sound
Just hammered on the ear;
We hear their echoes loud resound,
That cut the withered old man down
And brought a baby here.
He measured life from yule to yule,
With David Harum's golden rule
Step softly round his bierl
What has the old mans service been
In five score years of life?
What varied changes has he seen,
Through years of cloud and golden
sheen?
What scenes of war and strifei
The many wonders that he wrought
Inventions made and battles fought
Filled his eventful life.
The wheels of history of our race,
Though strange it seoms and odd,
But measure )ff the time and space
Jehovah runs in every case
The chariot wheels of God:
On which he rides to do his will,
And all his sovereign plans fulfill,
Though chastening be the rod.
The thrones of Europe rceled and
rocked
Beneath Napoleon's tread,
AS round the Belgian village fiocked
And at the gates of power knocked
His legions grim and red.
Though Waterloo to him was lost,
The allies gained at fearful cost,
For many thousands bled.
The dreams which lit ambitions
path
And bade Napoleon fight,
Sank deep in floods ofbattles' wrath,
AS fell Goliath great Of Gath,
Into ObliviOn's night.
Twas ever thus since time began:
The sword OF the Lord and man
Has cut the road for right. !

We drop compassion's pitying tear,
AS round old Gettysburg we sec
The bottling thousands drawing
near
Men long since stranger to all fear
The hosts of Meade and Lee.
Phree days of iron and hail and lead,
While fifty thousand brave men
bled, ... w.
Then sank the cause of Leei
The proud Castilian did provoke,
And threaten as with lashes;
Till all his claims and boastsulcroak
Went up in battles binding smoke,
And down in fiery ashes.
His hold upon the western land
His right to crush his fellowman--
Was stopped by red wars gashes.
| The Wilderness, that used TO be,
Has blossomed as the rose;
The bison and the Indians flee,
AS onward toward the western son,
Our civilization goes. ' ~
Where once the prairie grasses grew,
And sage brush, now aud then in
lieu,
The black corn stands in rows.
Yes, good old Centum's gone to rest,
We can't insult him now;
HI, g warmed full many lovers nest
Thon planted violets on their breast
Seen many a broken vow.
He's oft beheld tho wife in tears,
Since time began to count his years
And furrow down his brow.
We lay you where your fathers lie,
In freedoms happy land;
Then cut upon the headstone high,
With vain regrets and many sigh,
"a MUCH ABUSED OLD NAN"
And then some resolutions old,
We ever take and never hold
The gazing eye may scan.
"Resolved: we turn a bran new leaf I;
Resolved: we turn it now;
Resolved: we bind good in our sheaf;
Resolved: we cause to no one grief;
Resolved: we keep our vow;
Resolved: we throw away sims load /;
Resolved: we travel heavens road /;
Resolved: we start out now.
We hail the babe in swaddling
clothes,
A jewel bright and fair,
A dimpled youngster no one loathes,
Whose lips are free from canting
oaths,
In beauty sweet and rare.
But ere he sees the wintry sun
Twice fifty times his courses run,
He'll walk meath silvery hair.
Oh, Father, keep us from all strife,
Our bad intentions smother;
Give pleasures TO each man and wife,
To all a happy road through life,
And many smiles to mother.
My little song for both is done,
Put blossoms on the grave of one.
And fruit within the other.

sHAKEsPEARE's WORK.
Lecture Delivered at First Presby
terian Church Wen Attended.

The famous lecture, Shake
speare's Estimate of Women"
was delivered Friday night at the
First Presbyterian church by Mai
j. b. Nerwin of st. Louis. The
pastor, G. G. Weith, introduced
the venerable lecturer in a few
words in which he referred to him
as being Shakespearean scholar.
Mai. Merwin had not proceeded
far with his lecture when the audi
ence realized he was a scholar, not
only Shakespearean scholar, but
a man who is brilliant on every
other subject touched upon. Tie
speaker portrayed Shakespeare's
works as being so perfect and as
being so elaborate treatise on all
the virtues that if we were deprived
of all other books except Shake
speare and the Bible we could be-
come well informed. So nearly
identical are the two books that
the speaker said he had 700 quota
tions from the two that convey the
same thoughts aud are conveyed in
almost the identical language.
Among the l12 female charac-
ters of Shakespeare the speaker
informed Ut that every virtue Of
the human family is vividly pro-
trayed. To use the lecturers own
words, a stroHg search light was
thrown upon the wise wizard Of
words"

house went away we'll pleased.

TWICE ATTEMPTED
TO TAKE His LIFE

With the departure for San Fran
cisco yesterday on the China of Mr.
Won Aiken, formerly connected with
the clerical force of the Hawaiian Ho-
tel, ends a sad tale of a wrecked ca
reer. Through the aid of a church
society Mr. Won Aiken, who has been
in straitened circumstances since his
arrival in Honolulu, was enabled
TO return to San Francisco where, per-
haps, a brighter future may be in
store for him. Several weeks since Mr..
Won Aiken attempted to end his life
by bullet, but was frustrated by
neighboring roomers at the place
where he was living. He seemed de-
termined, however, to commit suicide,
and plunged into the harbor waters
that same night, but was fished out by
watchful guardians of the wharves.
The man became more Respondent
than ever after these attempts, and
seemed utterly incapable of doing any
thing for himself financially.
He was reputed to have been quite
wealthy a couple of years ago, and
upon planning a trip to Alaska, en-
trusted his estate to his wife, who, 1t
seems, turned everything into cash and
eloped. The husband upon his return
learned for the first time of the rup-
ture in his domestic affairs, and soon
afterward came to Honolulu, where he
found employment at the Hawaiian
