A Dying 1 Race. Tlie volume of foreign relations for 1882, just published, contains an ■interesting tetter to Secretary Frelingluiysen from Minister Comley of the Hawaiian Islands. He discusses the future of the Hawaiian Islands, a ■.Vestion which is considered of great iiipoftance to the United States, in view' of the rapid decadence of the native population. Mr. Comley shows that, out of a population of <00 natives of aboriginal descent, r are over 700 condemned lepers ;e lepers’ settlement, Moleki. It :im a ted there are between 3,000 , ti 5,000 concealed lepers on the jmwy.ds. The ablest physicians there luUmre that four-fifths of the natives an afflicted with the syphilis. The minster says: “The robust race of ’ h? ancient Kanaka has dwindled and J hriveled to this melancholy handful, 3 .one of whom are still o! noble physiite, and aO of whom are of aniia- ’ hi olnracC hut too many of whom ’ af crippleu by rheumatism, syphilis, > paalysis or leprosy.

Stephens and Johnson. In 1844 Alexander H. Stephens met Hersehel V. Johnson on the stump in Georgia, and Mr. Johnson frequently addressed Mr. Stephens as “Sir Oracle/’ which remark the latter considered a epithet of reproach, if not a direct insult. The result was that in the course of a few days he sent Mr. Johnson a challenge His friend who bore it, Crl, A. H. Kennan, found Mr. Johnson attening divine service. Nevertheless, his mission, being peremptory, at the first opportunity he delivered his charge. After leading the challenge Mr. Johnson re-entered the church and asked the congregation ‘‘to unite with him in prayer for the speedy coe version and salvation of Alexanuer H. Stephens, who had invited him to mortal combat.” After listening to the prayer Col. Kennan returned to Liberty hall, the home of Mr. Stephens, and informed him of what had occurred, saying; ‘T have heard Bishop Pierce pray, and other eminent divines, but tor earnestness, pathos and eloquence it surpassed all the appeals to the Most High that I have ever heard fromgjh ' ■ - f au;

EMMELINE’S GOSLINGS. They were six green, fuzzy little things, made motherless by the accidental crushing of their maternal parent under the feet of a frisky colt, allowed to roam at large. Their forlorn condition appealed strongly to the sympathies ol little Emmeline Lang, a child who lived, loved and flourished many years ago, before the advent of the bright magazines and papers for children, that have sprang up on every side, to moiw alar] the .hearts of bur young people. Toys, too, -ere scarc p -''-’mparatively, and of and juvenile books were scarcer still, even in our large cities. Emmeline lived on a farm, in a mountainous district, away from steamboat and railroad communication.

YOUNG ARTHUR’S ESCAPADE. Drinking- Wine and Serenadinga thinly Attired Lady. Louisville Post. Young Allan Arthur, the son of the President, was recently suspended from Princeton College. It was said at the time that he had been expelled, but that story was untrue. He was only suspended for a time, and has since been taken back. A gentleman who recently visited Princeton gives the following, the correct account of the cause of young Arthur’s suspension, in company with a son of General George B, McClellan, and a son of Libby, the New York man who has given so much money to Pri nceton: Several Harvard students ! came to Princeton for a visit. Twenty Princeton boys, including the three above mentioned, arranged a wine supper fo, the Harvard visitors at one of the local hotels. The proprietor of the hotel located the genial company in one of the wings of the hotel, where their conviviality could disturb other guests as little as possible; When the supper had reached it.j c onclusion, the youno- men wye in i • til;, i’.sua. c-v, / frame of mind natural to the conclusion of a wine feast where the guest are young and full of the vitality of youth. Outside the night was cold and stormy. The guests concluded not to go home. To go down to the office and order rooms was altogether too tame a proceeding Just above the supper room was a line of bedrooms assigned to # the chambermaids of the hojfi. It walthough t to be a good to go and drive out the Lis and capture their quarters The frail doors were kic<- *.] and the girls fled, shrieking ''down stairs.

Two of the supjpr crowd came up near her room, supporting in their arras a very tired student. Seeing her room open, thy ran in there and put their weary Lend in the old lady’s bed. As they.came out of the door slammed to,and listen ed with a spring-lock. So when the housekeeper returned she found herself locked out. Then she raised at outcry, which brought all of the students out of the rooms. Young Arthu; and McClellan came out with guitars and Uegan to serenade the thinly-attired housekeeper. She thought the young men were bringing disgrace upon the chambermaids and sounded the alarm. This aroused everybody. The students were captured. A small boy was put in over the transom of the housekeepers room, so that the students there could not escape. It was 8 o’clock before the housekeeper and her girls were restored to their quarters* AH the students connected with the frolic were suspended, but as the escapade was totally innocent, no complaints being made, the students were last week taken back.

If she had seen either unexpected - lv, she would, no doubt, have been frightened, more frightened than to meet a bear among her native hills. It was a severely quiet, solemn re gion, over shadowed by old Whiteface, the grandest peak of the Ad iron dack range. Amid this sublimity of scenery, Emmeline played keep house with rag dolls and broken bits of crockery and glass, and was nappy and contented. Beside these interest in young|( alves, lambs fowls, puppies and kittens. Among all her pets she never held any so dear to her simple loving heart as these goslings given to her care. It was her delight to

He brings the new that Mary will never return to Milwukee I Marv found a fortune awaiting her, and found her mother an old woman eighty-four years old.

This much merriment among her school-mates. Emmeline was not impervious to ridicule.When the boys, with the boys’ love of teasing, called out; ‘There is Emmeline and her family.’ “Her shadow never falls alone on the grass.” “She is the new Mother Goose. ’’ She was ready to cry with shame and vexation. She went straight to her father with her troubles. “Those hateful boys make fun of me, because I have been good to the poor little goslings, and the goslings love me for it. The boys call me Mother Goose. Do you think they ought, father? What if their mothers should die, and they had no one to take care of them.” And her blue eyes looked indignation through tears. Mr. Lang smiled, unobserved, as he regarded his small, roly-poly daughter.

The next morning, "friends of the deceased pursued the Indian, and overtaking him, riddled him with bullets.

“Never mind, dearie. I don’t believe they laughed'because you were good to the poor orphans. I’ll own they are a little mean to plague you so, but boys will be boys. We’ll fix it so they won’t have a chance to laugh at you any more on account of your pets. The goslings shall have a yard of their own, where you can keep them penned, so they can not follow you when you don’tVish them to.” And so it was -soon arranged to her smiling satisfaction. The goslings appeared equally pleased with their snug quartern, as the yard, with its green grass and little pond of water, was all they could desire. Their young mistress continued her daily watch and care of them, andthey all throve apace. Their love for her was unabated, and . they never failed to call after her in gosling dialect, until she was out of sight.

When Mr. Lang said he would fix things against the chance of a laugh at her expense, he spoke according to faith and not to knowledge, as was proved a few weeks afterward. One bright Sabbath morning two neighboring boys roaming about the fields, spied Emmeline and her father starting out for church, which was nearly a mile distant. “Say, Mark,” said the taller one, '‘here is a chance for sport. Emmeline is dressed up ‘to kill,’white dress new hat and new shoes. See how she holds her head and flirts he skirts.” This was quite true; for .good little church-going Emmeline had Eve’s love apparel and couldn’t quite hide her love of display. She was very like that bird of gaudy plumage that Sunday-school books warn us against imitating; and the sharp boy eyes had not been slow in discovering the fact. ‘‘That’s so, Norman Lake. She is a regular peacock, and it’s Sunday,too It is our duty to quelch her pride, I do believe. Where is the chance you
