I I am weary ob, so weary Of my nil but useless life, ' Of tbl? groping In tlio darkness ' For escape from mental strife, i , And 1 wonder often wonder Jf for mo tlio die Is cast, f And earth nnd sky, tlio moon mid star I Merc visions of tho past. I am weary oh, &o weary Of this bearing up with fate. 1 Though much I nave to comfoi t me, 1 ' And many Ills abate t Friends I lime who feel for me, ( And guide my steps might, ' But nh! they cannot ease tlio pang That take the place of sight. I am weary oil, so weary Of this hoping for the best Of these silent prayers for something That will lay my brain to rest; Ami I womlcr olten wonder When tho morrow comes again. Will It bring mo moro of sorrow, Or bring surcease of pain. I am weary, oh, bo weary Of tho Muster's chastening rod, And 1 gladly hear tho whisper "There Is peace beneath tlio sod." Perhaps 1 prove too selllsh In this giving breath to mind, Whilst thousands better far than I Arc homeless, cold and bliud. I am weary oh, so weary Of this retrospect of life With its cloud of base Ingratitude From one I made my wife; And I wonder often wonder Why the Tower hath willed It so That 1, who never sought to harm, Should feel an ingratc's blow. I inn weary oh, to weary Of this htrlvlng to bo gay, This brooding o'er tho bitter wrougs, That turned my hair to gray And 1 wonder often wonder (For 1 have buffered so!) If F.arth may not be all the Hell, That I shall over know. I am weary oh, so weary Of these memories of tlio past, These ghosts of burled pleasures. That rise and fade so fast. And I wonder often wonder What (he future has In store. And I try to force its portals And Its mysteries explore. But I weary quickly weary Au& I sink back in my chair, For beyond tho lighted Present There is darkness everywhere. Then I wonder, and 1 ponder Will tho future ever lie Shall I ever feel its presence Or know Its mystery? 1 am weary oh, so weary Of the tickings of the clock, And the death-knells of the dying hours -My wearied senses mock. And I wonder often wonder When Old Time's uplifted scythe Will free me from this sea of gloom, In which 1 moan and writhe. John Buash. 188G. Honolulu, Jan. ft. THE RECIPROCITY TREATY. Tho Alta California of January lCth contains the following article upon the Reciprocity Treaty and Hawaiian Trada which will be read witli interest by both our planters and merchants. It says : The Ilawaiians arc a rich prize. They arc the meat and milk of the coc'oanut, while the Saraoans and the Carolines arc the husk and shell. Our 'Consul at Apia has protested, as'w'as his duty, against tho absorp tion of Samoa, but except in a diplo matic sense and to save a point in international law, his protest was as powerless as if mado against the tides. ' If a fleet of German iron clads should anchor off Honolulu, Minister Merrill will just as powcr lessly protest against German ab sorption of that Kingdom. The Samoana are C,000 miles away. The Hawaiian Islands are only a week's sailt They are the only shelter this coaslLha's at sea. Put them under European domination and wo are without a coaling station, an anchor age or n foothold for commerce be tween, California and Africa. Wo owe'our influence upon those islands now, not" to our army, nor navy, ndr diplomacy, nor politics, but to our commercial enterprise which urged the Ecciprocity Treaty which is its shelter. With a shortness of sight which is phenomenal, the- abrogtjop'of that treaty has been ufgedfwhcni the moment it is ac complished wc may bo the unwilling spectators" of the scene just enacted in Samoa, but upon a scale that pinches our commerce and our pride. Just'wha'tf tills treaty has dono for our commerce may be judged by these-comparisons : Our trade with lasi was thirteen Ameri can States. nine millions. We sent fleets nnd took" costly political meas ures to opei Japan, thirty years ago, nndryetiDul' trade with that Empire of over, thirty millions of people ex-cfe'cds'Uintf'of- Hawaii by only two irulilsl'jfi'jViave been trading witU'iChina for a century, and yet tlie-Enipire-giveaus less than twice the'Jbminerc(Sf'o"'get from Hawaii I FronvalKBritish Australasia we get oritwQ?iriillioritf moro than from JlSpfll Ttfcaffacts exhort to TigilapCQjjj VfaffiaB tu0 foothold tro two gaffiett in tlicso islands. the Sanuwicur Islands in elevdn riiiillohs ; with Japan, millions' ! with the Central Tlio Reciprocity Treaty wan made' to aecuro trade, utul vpur own- mer chants have made-profit ouVof-tuat trade, and by n singular inversion and perversion, this fact is offered to tho Government ns argument for abrogation. Per contra) wc suppose, if our merchants had lost in thai com merce, if for their risk and their enterprise they had reaped insolv ency, the treaty would have been called by theso critics a success 1 To sttstain this trade with those islands and uphold the conditions by which only it can exist, is national interest., aim is oi primary mm m tenso importance to this city and coast. Let us be warned bySamoa, and increase the vigilanco which has so fair yielded great returns. "We call the attention of the East to the fact that those islands wcic com mercially dormant until American enterprise roused it. True, that cntcrprisu centered In this city, but out of it has grown manufactures, fleets of iron steamers and sail ves sels that carry our flag and dignify the American name. The Eastern press may be inclined to put a vulgar estimate upon its importance, but it is of as great value and its results arc relatively important as those born of the vim of Chicago and the other busy centers of the East.

THE undersigned, a Committee of Di rectors of tlio Equitable Life As suranco Society of the United States , appointed to formulate the views of (Jr. Board on tho advantages ofl'ered by I l j Society to tho public, report: 1st The Society Issues all the apprj--cd foims of assurnnce, including Ordi nary Life, Endowment nnd Tontine po. Holes. It is immaterial to tlio Directors which form of policy is taken by in. tending assurers. 2d The Life and Endowment forms of policy provide for annual cash divi. dends and a surrender value; are Indis putable after three years nnd payablo immediately after proof of death. 3d Tlio premiums on a Tontine po licy are the same as on the Ordinary Lite, but, while the latter is.only pay. ablo in thu event of death, tho holder of the Tontine policy has the right to draw tho whole of tho reserve and tho accu mulatcd profits in cash at the end of a stated period; thus, during his own life time, after his producing years are past, he can, without any larger premium than on nn ordinary policy, secure these greater advantages. 4th Experience shows that tho return paid in cash on maturing Tontine po licies approximates to or exceeds the amount of premiums paid by policy holders, so that tho averatro cost of tho assurance will bo only about tho interest on tho premiums. Cth Tontino policies, liko others, aro paid in full in tho ovent of death at any time during tho term of tho policy, and aro incontestable after threo years, and payablo immediately after duo proof of death. Cth Experience shows that tho mor tallty is lower among Tontino policy, holders, as the better lives sock this kind of assurances, which is a consider able source of profit. 7th Tontine policies will bo made non-forfeitablo under tho laws of the State, if so desired at tho time the a surnnco is effected. 8th Tho Tontine system is fair and just; its accounts are accurately kept, scparato from all other' business; the funds judiciously Invested and improv ed, nnd tlio accumulated profits faith, fully guarded and properly apportioned. 0th The Society has since its organ! zation transacted a larger amount of now business thnn any other company, while its now business for tlio first half of the present year is $1,7C0,000 larger than that of tho first half of 1884. It has Assets of $00,000,000; over $14,000, 000 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus to Liability is greater than that of any other company. ClIAUNCEY M. DEI-EW, John A.
