On this dnt, which niniks the com
pletion of W) j ears, dining which joii liate
been united together in the bonds of tniu
riage, we, the English .sneaking people of
Hilo, Hawaii, jo fully liiankful that jour
lites hate been spniedso long, hate taken
tho hbertj of coming together to congia
tulate j on, and as part and parcel of the
eoiigiatiilation wo hate to oiler, we beg
Ii-ntc to prcent the following address
M'e lirst of nil recognie the exceeding
kindness of our Clod in pel milting you to
continue m life until this glad hotii.
A golden tudding is compnratitely n
line etent And eten though ton wire
people ttiiom we enn d nothing nuoiit per
honall.t, still tho mere fact of jour hating
walked together in life, for now full hnlf-
n centuiy, is n thing which we feel wo
ought not to, and cannot pnxs by tin
noticed Xot. i!nd, lWfl, nnd Nov. Jnd,
1881.
Hot niton, Veimont, nnd Hilo, Hawaii,
stand linked together by two human lives,
that have for fiu" jenrs rftn on in the tnine
groote; nnd it seemed to us therefore that
we hciu nnd now ought to pause n mo
ment nnd (ontemplnto the coincident.
v mo liUewise glad that it has fallen
to jour lot to spend tin so fit) jenrs of jour
united life heio in Hilo, nnd that dining
a considerable poitiou of this ponod,
Borne of us hate been piitileged to bo
hire with you; and allot us to be heio
now to rejoice- with you at the close of
this half-eeiitiuy of eaithly toil.
Veiy seldom in o we, any of us, peiniit
ted to do our life work on anyone sjiot,
oxdusitelj, of the enith's sin f nee. Our
cotitiacl of cnrthly eibtonco geneially
calls for the ncliiotem"iit of toil on om
pmt, now upon this, now upon that, and
now uiioii the other scition of this mun
dane plantation on which wo are lined
out
The case has been different with jou.
Foi the port of Hilo j on together sailed
nearly ftu jears" ago; among the people of
Hilo jou hate togethoi pmjed, pieuched,
and w oikvd, and in tho soil of Hilo, as we
t list, will jour bodies bo togethei laid,
when nt longth, jour Client Oteistei sluill
sound in jour ems the eteniug ctufow
culling jou fiom toil to lest.
AVo congiatulato jou that in this
changing world wherein wo dwell, theio
has been kindly accorded jou a slietch of
eaithly hie, coiupuintitulj' speaking, un
maiked bj- externnl change.
AVo nlso congr.itulato jou hero and now
upon tho hfo ttoik jou hato aclueted. "I
hate constructed a nionument more en
duiing tlinn brnss," mo words, which,
though ns applied to jouiseltes jou will
nutoi eonscioiibly utter them, not eten in
join hearts, jou yet might uttci ns dis
cniitito of jour own case, fnr moio truly
than the immortal Homco of tho Augus
tinu ago who wiote them. Yonder school
is the monument; not the school-buildings,
or thu giounds, or the tnro tiolds (these
me but ltinniniato matter, and will soon
criimtilo nttny mitt DeconiodUHi; nuu usnes;
but lather all those Hawaiian youth,
who, through tlio agency of the school
you hate founded and built up, hate been
grounded in intelligence, tirtuo and
Christ hko lit ing, and will slime at! stars
in tho moial hrmauicnt, long after sun,
moon, and stars in thu nntuial liimnment
shall hnto censed to bum.
Moio foitunnto you certainly nro than
mobt of us, in that calling up Isaiah's
niemoinblu wouls, ' His work is bofoiu
him," jou, in a ccitnin limited nud ex
ternal way, are ablo likuwise to alhrm that
join work is bufoie jou.
Tho lnbor jou hato achiotid dining
your eai thly cuieer is an uxtiemely unique
and palpable aflair. Unlike most of us
who toil and hnto nothing to show for it,
at least except a ccitnin unpalpnblu some
thing that ejo cannot see, jou hnto toiled
nnd nnto something to show for it, which
tho most obtusu Msion can behold and
upptMiiato.
Allow ns to coiiginlulnto jou upon what
greets tho iow ot nil of us ns we look
liiiuika of w lu it) w o now nre, nnd to l ejoico
with jou, that upon this fiOth aunitoisniy
of tlio luamago of its founder, Hilo
Hoaidiug School was neter mom tloutish
ing and neter gato siuer piophesj' of
peimaueucul
Hut it is what we are rather than whnt
tto hato done, that is the tiuo measure of
woith. "All is not gold thnt glutei s," nor
isthatalwajs base alloy which keejis it
self close from human tietv. You hnto not
nlwnjs felt culled on to pioclnim jour
seltes upon the house-tops. Indeed wo
hate learned to legard jou as asoit of
treasuio hid in a field, the which to thai,
we hato geneially felt ourbQltes obliged
to seek as silter and seaich for as hid
tieasuio; n seeking on a pait, which how
otei has neter lieeii a disappointment; for
when once jou hate been iwilly" found,
jou hnto int.irinbly turned out to bo
genuine metal with the true uug.
Nothing in tho uniteiso of Clod is so
talunble as diameter, and ns lespetts thu
possession of this suit of worth, jou for
tljn lust W tears hate been tiieil aiuoiig
us, and not beyn found wuiiling.
Vour ery silence among us has been
eloquent. Without opening j our lips j on
hate uiado us all feel thnt to bo simply
genuine and true is one of the loftiest
grandeurs of earth, and ono of tho bright
est glonet of heaton. In these dirts of
liupuwiito sham-, wu need just Mich "lites
us yours, to call us back to t lis tiuth of
tiuths, that show without htibstanco will
collapse ami i.uis uwaj-, while sub-dunco
without show will coutinuo and endiiie,
Wo havu Iksju greatly helped dining
tlitve years in Miolding tho miuiovabil
ity of jour faith nnd trust -j our feot hate
boon tiuly platitcsl upon the un-jhakoii
Hocki and tho sight ot you as wo havo
beheld you Htandintr thore. has bcon to ns
a sot t of icnlUntiou of the genuineness ot
Glirtstinuity itself.
May tto nmny times tlnih behold j-ou ere
jourbhndotts are lost iu tho daikuess of
thu tomb, nud tho light of your real suites
faded away into tho brightness of hentonl
such a wish isurj' likely selfish in us, for
with celestial oico,s sttectlj- tthispoiing
in jour oui, "Ario and depart, for this
is uot your rust." you must indeed bo
longiug to go lather thuu staj-, nor do wo
bhuuo j'oti for thus longing j tto tho rnther
sympathise with t'ou in it, for eten we,
who tnu in the midst of life' battle, often
long for tho poacv of tietoryi eten wu
who nro bound down with hfos burdons,
often long for tho rest that lemnineth to
tho wear j.
Hottuter, wo know thnt you must iu all
probability go on boforc, and wo t.Uy bo-
to the Saturday Press, Dece
hind a while to fight out tho conflict as
you hatn done: lint then we do hope that
toll will most cm in nt I j intei cede for lis
before jou go, and if Ood permits it, most
lotingly nnd tenderly cnie for us nfter
jou hnto gone.
"Oter there" we nil soon sluill be. Maj
the ineinoiies this day recalls, and the
thoughts it suggests be a help to each one
of usin so liting the ret of our earthly
lites, ihnl the concluding poi tions o'f
them nt least shall be n llllfng prelude to
that etcilnsting life on which we hope to
enter beyond the liter.
Hi lotrn Osis
Your Hi other and HiVler Lyons nnd

to piesent to jou in their behalf these
golden piesenls, and with them express
theircongiatulatioiiH and most hearty best

I'oi some reason or other the nncientH
esteemed certain dajs in the Oaleiidm as
unlucky for inatiimony Lutein were told
to beware of the whole month of Mav,
and especmlly warned off fiom Feb 11th,
June 12nd, Nov. 2nd, nnd Dec 1st. If ton

heed them.
The joy and happiness which has nt
tended these CO j ears of wedded life, tho
success which nrcompnnied j'oiu enrly

1'uiin, nnd liie nienioiiul school which jou
hnto established, nnd which still exists, a
monument of join industiynnd faithful

Jt has not lesulted in being an unluck'v
day to jou. to your childieu, to a our

to the community nt huge.
Hating been jour family ph sir-inn for

put Imps Jilting that I should with my

almost unlooked for, or at least, but faint
ly expected.
Thank Ood that you hatolitedto seo

We wish you much happiness, not only
to daj-, but all tlnoiigh jour futuro earth

It is our most hearty wish that jou mny

follows:
Neighbors and Friends, Ladies nnd
Oentlemen: I feel impelled to say tt few
woids in leply to the many kind things
spoken heio this afternoon. You will not
expect from mo tin j thing elnboiato or pro-
lOUUll.
AVhen sovereigns and distinguished per
somiges gite receptions nt which ollicinl
nddi esses nre made, it is usual,l am told,
to placo copies of them, a day or two bo
foie, in the hands of tho person to bo nil
(liessed,tlint ho or his secretary may be
ready with his replj-. I hatu hail no such
opportunity; but it is better as it is.
lour kind words mako mo feel quitu
ashamed, if I weru to think thorn half true.
I fear it would mako mu so proud as to
mill me.
Something has been said about the
Hoarding .School. I think it has dono
some good. 1 or ono thing, it has from its
graduates giten a Gotemor to this Island
(now deceased) who would hato been a
pood Gotemor had not other influences
illicit unitl.
So far the school has been a success; that
success is hugely duo to my better hnlf.
Mrs. Lj mnn has aided in the school not
only bj- her ttiso counsels, but very much
by her own direct labors.
During its first year sho took tho ontiio
charge of tho aftornooii session that I
might be free for pnstornl woik among the
people. For twenty years sho had dim go
of the singing nnd instrumental music,
aud generally taught dnily a clnss in Arith
metic, nnd Geogranhj', in tho English
language, to say nothing of our family and

Sinco tho death of President Garfield,
much speculation has been indulged in as
to tho probable policy of Arthur in his ac
cession to the position of Chief Magistrate
of I ho Republic and tho comjtositioii of his

iiiulmtnod that the element with which
Arthur was in training and sympathy, was

with the Blame faction of the Republican
