Polynesian from Honolulu, Hawaii • Page 4

1 I I 1 ffibc Ho. 0 From the Hongkong Register" we extract the following very spirited translation of description of a combat from the History of the Three States," a work whkh is aaid to hare been written some fifteen hundred years ago, and which remains the most popular and dasaic production of its kind, extant in the Chinese language. Ia the days of Han's decline, The Emperors, Hwan and Ling, No more the rigor of their sires Into their rule could bring. The son that long had flamed, In the mid-heavens so bright, Now rode in haste adown the west, Tr qoench his glorious light. Uprose the traitor, Tung Cho, And the Emperor Ling's young son.

First vilely from his seat he drave, Then urged, till, to an early grave, His brief career was run. Lew flee, in his rother's room, Upon the throne he placed Lew Hee, irresolute and weak, The throne bnt little graced. These deeds the soul of TsaouTs'aou Filled with indignant fire. Through the kingdom round he sent The summons of his ire. And straight, the princes gladly Responded to the call, With man and horse in full array, Each left hit peaceful hall.

Next, in council met, they chose To held their combined force, Yuen Shaou, who, before the court, Had check'd the traitor's course. The blood tbey shed, the bowl they drank, Each took the solemn tows. For the house of Han to fight, And for the land's repose. To meet this mighty army, Tung Cho his chiefs led on. And foremost blazed among them Leu Poo, the prince of Wan Leu Poo, whose strength and valor Were thro the land renowned, And these far distant ages Still with bis fame reound.

Ja hauberk rtroog compacted. The 4 Red Hare he bestrode, Which pranced and pawed, while in his eye The dragon spirit slowed. Beneath a glittering helmet, His flowing locks were twined. And down his hack the peacock's plume, AH spangling in unfiling Moorn, Fell fluttering in the wind. His girdle, bright with jewels ray, Was clasped by two fierce beat Is of prey, In deadly conflict joined.

And 'neath his mail a robe he wore, Where, rich embroidered, seemed to soar The phcenix, with wings spread And when he waved his mighty lance, the flowered weapon's glance? Like aalurun wavelets, as they dance Within their pebbly bed. Thus glorious from the barrier, The hero issued forth, And challenged all the princes, To prove 'gainst him their worth. Back cowered all the princes, Their courage oozed away. There was not one, the prince of Wan Would meet in mortal fray. Then out rushed fiery Chang Vih-lih, Sprung from the plains of Yen, In his right hand his spear he bore, Full seventeen cubiu long or more, All serpcnt-Iike its sheen.

Down flowed Lis beard upon his breast, A mass of threads of gold, Then stopped iu course, and backward rose, In many a spiral fold. His round eyes, full upon his foe, With lighttiing flashes burnet. In strife they closed, and long they fought, With equal skill and strength each wrought To neither victory turned. Kwan Yun-chang on fire looked on, He could oo longer bide. But spurred his horse, and eager, Flew to his brother's side.

His jewelled sabre brilliant Gleamed in the glancing light, So may yon see in winter hours, With hoar frost covered, all the flowers, 'Neath the sun, sparkle bright. Oa his robe, iu colors rich, Lories at play were seen, AnJ gaudy butterflies filled up The empty space between. At his steed's hoofs hard clanged, Was heard the spirits' moan, And streams of blood portended His glare around him thrown. Then like an eagle swooping Down from his airy height, With double-bladed sword in hand, And air and eye born to commaftd, Heuen-tih rushed to the fight. The three Leu Poo surrounded, Bat hardly victory gained, For long he kept them all at bay, Nor blenched, nor would a foot give way, His fame he well maintained, in breathless expectation The armies both looked on, Until at last, thro every rank.

When ear and eye long lime bad drank Each thrust and feint, and stroke and guard, The heroes made to wound or ward, A hollow murmur ran. Then rose the clamorous shouting, As if 'twould rend the heaven, And 'neath the agitated tread Of myriads, as they waved and swayed, The firm earth shook and quivered, Aa if by lightning riven. Leu Poo at length exhausted. Turned his thoughts on flight Toe-hills, where lived bis fathers, Came glimpsing on his tight. On the Red Hare' fast he fled His lance no more in rest.

Now along the ground he dragged, Hard by the brothers pressed. Down banners gu and streamers, His men to panic yield, Troop urged oo troop, in wild retreat. All harrying from the field. Foremost the Red Hare' galloped, Then a wild rolling mass, -Like the wares of a receding tide. Swept through the barrier pass.

Oh, give to me the songs of yore. That come warm from the heart That make each pulse throb with delight. And bid the passions start. Sing me the song of "Hours that were," I'll crave not what belongs To the list of nigger" pshaw I mean Of fashionable" songs. Young Men.

There is no moral object so beautiful to me as a conscientious young man. I watch him as I do a star in the heavens; clouds may be before him, but we knew that his light is behind them, and will 1 beam again; the blaze oi other popularity may outshine him, but we know that, though a unseen, he illuminates ni3 own true apuere Ha resists temotation not without a struggle for that is not virtue, but he does resist and rnnnuer: he bears the sarcasm ot the pro fligute, and it stings him, for that is a trait of virtue, but heals the wound with his own mi tniinh He heeds not the watch-word of fashion if it leads to sin; the atheist, who says not onlv in bis heart, but with his lips thpr ia no God!" controls him not: be sees the hand of a creating God, and re joices in it. a 1 Woman is sheltered bv lona arms ana Invino- counsel: old acre is protected by its "0 9 a experience; and manhood by its strength; but the vounff man stands amid the tempta tions of the world like a self-balanced tower Happy he who seeks and gains the prop and shelter of morality. Onward, then, conscientious youth raise thy standard, and nerve thyselt lor gooaness. If God has given thee intellectual power, awaken in that cause; never let it be said of thee, he helped to swell the tide of sin by nourino-his influence into its channels.

Gilman. A able. A chameleon once met a por cuDine. and complained that he had taken ereat pains to make friends with every body but, strange to say, he had entirely failed and he could not now be sure that he had a sincere friend in the world. "And by what means, saia the porcu pine, have you sought to make friends? By flattery," said the chameleon.

have adapted myself to all I met; humored the follies and loibles ot every one. in or der to make people believe that I like them I have imitated their manners, as if I con sidered them models of perfection. So far have I cone in this, that it has become habit with me, and now my very skin takes the hue and complexion of the thing that hap pens to be nearest. Yet all this has been in vain, for every body calls me a turncoat and I am generally considered selfish, hy pocritical, and base." "And no doubt you deserve all this," said the porcupine. I have taken a different course, but I must confess that I have as few friends as you.

I adopted the rule to resent every injury, nay, every encroachment upon my dignity. I would allow no one even to touch tne without sticking into him one or more of my sharp quills. I determined to take care of uumber one; and the result has been, that while I have vindicated my rights have created a universal dislike. I am called old Touch-me-not, and if I am not as much despised, I am even more disliked than you, Sir Chameleon." Grumbling Is neither a wholesome movement nor its pcrcursor; for the very act of grumbling absorbs the energies which are requisite to carry a man beyond tbe condition of which ho complains. There is nothing so easy as grumbling, and nothing more indicative of a dull and barren spirit.

It is still worse than content, for while it prevents advancement, it neutralizes even tbe tame enjoyment of immobility. Show us a town where the people are habitual grumblers, and have the ingenuity to pick a flaw in every thing that is attempted to.be done in the way of public improvement, and we will undertake to show you a crowd of do-nothings; invariably is it the case that the growling fault finder is practically a sluggard a person, who reposing in self-sufficient indolence, can put all the world right in theory, without having the sense to manage bis own affairs. iviARRiAGE. oitaire says, i he more a a mr tr mi rnarriea men you nave, tne iewer crimes there will be.
