UIU Kilo, Bamuwicu Islamim, Aug. 12, 1881. liilo (tielo) is a village on tbn east- . a s e a m mm ee ern coast or tne island ol llswsti (liowi) nestled in a densely wooded cove sloping dswn from tbe mountaius ef Mauus Ixm. Tbe harbor bere is a aemi-i-irclo of about two miles, and beautifully fringed with oocaaut troes, growing down almost into tbe sutfol tbe ocean, and tbo ample bench is cov ered with ono dt-nse mass of tromoal grnery, dotted with a handful of collegea, containing a opulation of o or thre hundr-sd. 1 his place has long lwn the missionary re u tor of this island.

The width of tbe nti (hiii ariea from one lo livn miles, and tho depth, according to the faoe of the country, from twenty to 1,000 feet, creasing and filling up immense chssmf, ravines and gulches. Tbe red hot gory mass having spread very viae, is advancing but slowly, now at tbe rate of about '100 feet n day. It ia about tbo consistency of musb and rolls in waves. When one wave Hat tens, cools ane becomes stationary, another succeeds and muse a ovei it, and in like manner another, until lay er after layer of lava stone is added to the surface of tbe earth. Forests, plantation, houses, and everything within reach of this resistless Hood have been destroyed. At night a red glare can be seen along tbe lino from one end to the other. Tbe Cbriatain people of liilo era im ploring the Alnighty Kuler of volcanoes to stay tho devastating march of this flood, and leave them their beautiful village; and the natives, with minds still inclined to suierstition, ate daily making sacrifices to the god of tire. Hundred' of live animals are thrown into this seething, boiling lava; pref erably Logs, goats and ' dog?. They also give up their choicest clothing to the flames. Similar volcanic eruptions here are mot unusual. The first record ed eruption took place in 1832, and tbe Isst in 18CK. At each ei option the river of tint ponred down the mountain and reach t-i I the aea. The gteatest volcano on the islands, and indeed, the largest active volcano in the world, is thirty miles t the east of Mauna Loh, on tbo same moun tain range. The naiive legend c I time that it hai been ia perpetual activity for mere than 500 year, but if we were to estimate its age from tbe work performed, we would make it much older. Tbis crater haa thrown up h fluid lava and sprdad it over un area ef forty luilps of country, layer after layer till an altitude of 4,000 feet has been reached. The lava duos not flow from the top of tbe crater now but. hax found a subterranean outlet. From Hilo to this crater Kilauea the distance is forty miles and over a rosd almost impassible, thirty miles of which is a perpetrr.tl upward xc amble, over bare, rugged Mva rocks. At ihlo it is customary for a travelo.- to aeon re a hnre and guide to make thin trip. I secured the former but. not the latter, this is the safest country in the world to travel in no wild at i nals, noanskes j6 insects and no tiarapu; and to yet lost is impossible, as a day's travel im any direction would take one in siftbt of the ocean. The first f'e miles from the little viiliagc, on ihe road to the volcano, was over tla, awampy ground, where tbe old lava had deeonv posed, making a very rich soil the grasses grew higher than the horse's bock, often entitely biding the narrow trail. After riding an hour a dense forest was reached that seemed empene- treble; natuie occupying every foot of space with forest trees and tropical vegetation. Tho forest begrudged tbe natives a narrow foot-path, and they were obliged to throw up a stono wall four feet nigh on each side of tbe path as a defence ngainst the rank vegeta tion. I let ween these walls there is just room for riding single file, and through tho entire jungle, a diateucu of live milos, the track is arborad over with thedousest tropical growth. The leafy trees frre rntwitted, eotMglod and almost k !!' .-.! by uuuierous climbing pistils and vines, from ilm sir.e of n whip coed to 1 1." stse of a insn'n ai m, forming a i.ef woH I roui I he j ground up, ami ovi r'lao-.o .4 li. , of the hmhest trees.

This snot has all fits conditions tbst favor a prodigal growth of vegetation, neb soil, ubundauce, of rain and conaUnt heat. OuUide of the jungle of Central AmeH a I have never seen anything to compare with this tropical wildemcs. Hot once out of the woods. 1 h way bacomea moii toihome. The trail, almost illegible, extends over an expanse of hard, rough, jigged lava, in plat- cliffy and almost im passable. There was just su&Vinnt growth of grass and acmbby treea to mako tbe trail. No water can l leached along this route except what falls in the form of rain and aettlsa in little pool on I.hi.- tucks. For thirty miles 1 followed up an old lava stream, and could diatinctly trace the cnaumd to tbe brink of its fountain, the enter from tbe north, for a mile the earth was cracked and fissured.

After proceeding a mile the lava on which I walked became hotter and hotter, and the whole floor and river, by deep cracks, emitted smoke and hot sulphurous steam, and before reaching the center of the crater, re 1 hot lava could be seen in the deep fissures, and in tbe lower Krtiona of the floor streams of livid, gleaming lava oozed up through every crack and crevice. Dodging from knoll to knoll, aud from hillock to hillock, through streams of lava, I at length reached an immense embankment, built up with irregular slabs and ropy waves, piled in confused heaps. Ieap'.ng from salb to slab, across deep fiery fissures, 1 reached the nutter ledge of this gorge, and found myself on a clifi' 100 feet above a lake ef boiling molten lava. Tbe form of this lake is round, and more than half a mile in diameter. The walls ate ab solutely )Mrpeudicular, bold aud caggy. and not less thau 100 fVet high.

In many resects this lake behavi'S like a rcmy m, the boiling lava taken the form ot mighty wavH ; then impelled bv some intern al force, they are dashed heavtlv against the red hot, lava olift'a, nounding like the roar of a storm v ocean.

( 'larence Plantagenet Jones! Wandering little honey-bee, mother hears your merry prattle In among the ltowors. (J une to your ten, my h'laey blrd." And just then the mellow hum of the little honey bird twittered out on the gloamin: D g gone, the dog g me luck to thunder! I was trying to make a big black ant tight it gray spider in a battle an' you hoMered and made me mash a big green worm in my fingers. Dog gone it all!" And tho mother, hiding her smiles iiohlnd a well dissembled frown c trite into the garden anil said: "Oh, you nasty litilo pig, I'd flake, the hide off you with a mop-stick if ever I catch you in the garden us sin.
