Hero's my" Kaliko
With her round faco so Binooth
and brown,
The sparkling black oyes all aglow
I'd risk to match her 'gainst the
town!
Sho cannot boast a single curl,
But in her mbuth two rows of pearls;
Ah, sho is native through and
through
The and holoku
My little Kaliko.
Sho thinks this earth a fairy-laud,
A place to sing and sail and swim
And run about to hear a band;
All full of mirth up to the brim
Now, shuilling small foot through
the sand,
Ah, she is native through and
through
The and holoku,
My little Kaliko.
In her guileless, honest heart
Envy or malico own no part;
Sho's a brownie, and all is said,
Poi for her, and never bread;
Ah, she is native through and
through
The aud holoku,
My little Kaliko.

It went on an outing that short-cake
bo brown,
And was made by a cook and sent
from the town;
When nut into pieces it went all
around
That delicate short-cake, with fine
flavor orown'd.
Now. long cake, midst cane-fields,
(schools) in oasy to find,
And not half so lazy as sugar to
grind (eat)
You may chew and chew if you're
patient and "good."
And make your jaws ache with that
tiresome food;
But, a short cake tuck'd in a long
shining pan,
Roll'd, thin, light and flaky, tho old-
fashioa'd plan
Oh, that is a Biipper for boy, or for
man I
We'd iniBsed seeing shoit ecko for
3 many a day,
Whon, lol oame a friend from quite
far away;
"Somo dainties," oho said, "I am
suro you must need,
There's nothing to keop one so faat
as a feed;
I'll seud a short-cake, for that's part
of my creed."
Now, a friend who kens short-cake
is friend indeed,
And far bettor than iu time
of neod;
Give to mo tho woman who lives iu
kind acts,
And carries as Christian a bountiful
paok,
Who has of good words no beggarly
lack;
We ate of tho to our
heart's content,
And bblievo that Giver was from
Heaven sent.

English. Speaking Natives.
If tho Government of tho United
States should ultimately annex Hawaii,
which seems to bo contemplated,
they will add a praotioally .English-speaking
pooplo of the Union.
It will cause some surprise amongst
ourselves to loam that the natives,
of full and mixed blood, aro learning
English almost exclusively. To
thoir orodit be it said that they havo
an admirable educational system,
with froo instruction aud compulsory
attendance; and, in ordor that
tho system shall work to full advantage,
English is imperative in all
schools. Tho consequence is that,
whoroas it is difficult to find a native
who oannot road and write in
tho lnnguago of his birth, tho rising
generation will have an equal command
of English, This, it may be
said, is the work of Americans. Yet
tho Portuguese aro tho most numerous
body of whito inhabitants in tho
ilsands, their children on the school
register numbering 8,000, or moro
than all tho rest of tho Europeans
and tho Amorioans combined, Tho
Chinese and Japanese, although probably
moro strongly ropresontod
than evsu the Portuguese, do not
figure as largely on the roll-, and
tho explanation is that I he A'iatic
races are excluded from tho
and have, therefore, less inducement
to equip themselves with a
reading and writing knowledge of
English. It is not without significance
that tho whole organisation
and tho text-books aro American.
Tho way haB been artfully proparod
for the absorption of the islands by
tho oountry which has civilised thorn,
Livtrpaol Mercury.
