In glancing over a file of the

given heed to the "Song of the Stream."

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-N0.52
EASTWARD AND HOMEWARD.—NO.
1.
For a number of years my gaze has been
westward, aa I have sent with the sunset,
my greeting of aloha to you and the islundhnme, which lies like some bright gem on
the broad Pacific. But now, I have turned
Parsee, and welcome, with the zeal of a
Fire worshiper, the coming of each new
day's sun in the glorious eastern sky, on
whose fair horizon I see tbe gaol of ray
rambles—growing ever brighter andjclearer.
And all this meuns that I am coming by
the way of the East, to find you once more,
and that wee bit of this earth which is,
somehow or other, dearer, infinitely dearer
to me than anything else I have found in
all these years. Do you wonder that my
morning hymn is jubilant ?
I have been half tempted to give up adding any more to these letters of travel,
which, for si long a time, I have been sending you. As the eye grows more skilled in
seeing, the very amount of the matter, the
profusion of Incident, the infinity of the detail, which is offered a traveller in the
olderparts of the Old World, fairly trammel him. If he would try to write, he
finds himself a pigmy trying to sketch a
giant; and the absurdity, the impossibility
of the undertaking, render him so ridiculous, that he would willingly throw paper
and pencil to the four winds, and escape, If
possible, the half sad, half sarcastic glance
of those eyes dim with the ages, whoso
solemn meaning be fancied he had fathomed. I have grown painfully, perhaps
morbidly, conscious of this of late: living
over again the life of peoples and cities,
whose history has been written for centuries. As I was saying, I have been half
tempted to write Finis," to the familiar,
rambling descriptions you have allowed
me to send you. But the habit has grown
so upon me that I find It harder to rid myself of than I would have thought possible.
Then I am so limited for time that I am
forced to count my moments as it they
were grains of gold, and can only give you
my list of names of places visited. For
anything more thansuch a summary would
be impossible.
Jean Paul speaks of certain words which
are of themselves half-battles," and It
would scarcely be an exaggeration to say
that there are a few cities whose names are
whole epics. Hence, a bare enumeration,
if it be built of such material, may set
your thoughts into a glow, and move your
heart with a power which scores of written
pages might fail to do.
I wrote you last from Halle, and will
sketch an outline of my journey since

city was Verona,where I spent one day and
two nights. Then I passed directly to beautiful Venice, where I spent two or three
days ; after this one night in Bologne, one
in Ravena, one In Padua, and two or three
days in Florence. "On my way to Rome I

have been just a week, and shall start tomorrow or the next day for Naples. One
week from this time I hopetobein Brindisi,
going thence from Naples. There I take
steamer for Corfu, and then for the mainland of Greece. I hope to visit Olyinpia,

if my time will allow, where the German
Government has been making such valuable excavations. I have letters to several
gentlemen connected with the excavations,
who will doeverythlng to aid me. In Athens
I hope to spend several days, and then take
the steamer for Constantinople; aud, on
my way back, perhaps, visit Troy, on the
coast of Asia Minor, and so proceed to
Smyrna, Beyrout, Jaffa, Jerusalem and
Egypt. I would like to arrange ho that, by
the last of April, 1 would be leaving for
India, China and Honolulu.
I cannot express sufficiently the delight
that ray Italian Journey thus far has given
me, and the week I have spent in Home
has been worth years of study. The old,
classical world and the early Christian period have been so real to me. Anything
later seems to have but little charm for me
justnow ; but the Forum, the Colosseum,
the Palace of the C»sers, and all the wonderful remains of that wonderful era, fill
me with unbounded enthusiasm. Home is
crowded with visitors. One is constantly
meeting pleasant people. The menibirsof
the German Embassy have been most kind
and hospitable to me ; but there is so much
to see here, and so many fascinating points
to visit, that I have tried, as much as possible, to avoid making acquaintances. Rome
is delightful, impressive, infinitely stimulating. It is one of the grandest points of
the world to visit, and, I am sure, one can
never have a right idea of that marvellous
classic time till lie comes here.
But, I find my pen has run on unwittingly, and I must return to
A CITY OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
Some old German chronicler once wrote,
on a page which has now grown yellow
with the years, "Fs ist nur Fin Nurmberg,"
(There Is > nly one Nuremberg.) And
after standing the other day amidst the
precious relics in this treasure-house of
German Mediteval art, I can testify to the
truth of the statement. 1 was on my way
to Rome, and as all roads lead to Rome, I
came by the way of Nuremberg, and several other places, as you will see. It would
be a great pity for any one to leave Germany without seeing this intensely German
olty. I don't wonder that the modern Germans are fond of it; there would be very
little of the national feeling in them if
they were not. IfI wanted to teach a boy
the meaning of honest, patient labor, of
conscientious devotion to art, of the pursuit of the beautiful far beauty's sake, and
not for money, I would send him to Nuremberg, aqd let him study at the feet of
Peter Visoher, and Adam Kraft, and Albrecbt Durer, and the other members of
that goodly company, who have helped to
make this old city of the Empire famous.
If you want to breathe the air of Nuremberg, without coming all the long way hither, you will find It in perfection in an exquisite little poemof Longfellow's, bearing
simply the name of the place as its heading, if I remember correctly. Interesting
as Nuremberg would always be because of ■
the memories of the place, and the various
treasures of art which are preserved here,
it is rendered doubly so because of the dc- j
llghtful mediuoval character of the whole I
city. There is no other city in Germany,
perhaps in all Europe, which has been so j
remarkably preserved. From the moment

�THE FRIEND,
ble,though I would like to do so with all my
heart. I presume Ruskin has done it, as
far as it is possible for any mortal to do it,
but I think he would laugh at the idea of
one's putting Venice into words. One forgets that there is a noisy, hurrying world
about
anywhere in existence, as he driftsami
dein his gondola, and feels the peace
licious restfiilnessof a dreamy stillness encircling and enveloping him, soothing
tiretl nerves, and banishing the thought of
care. You learn to long for the musical
plash of the gondola oar, as a cradle song,
and find your supremest happiness in being
tnken, morning, noon and night, into cool,
shadowy and mysterious nooks of this city,
which has sprung, Venus-like, from the
sea. The air thrills now and then only
with the cries of the boatmen, and then the
stillness comes again. You see only the
marble bases of wave-washed palaces, or
negpicturesque facades, poetic, ruined,
lected. And far above their roofs and carven traceries, is a fragment of the blue sky
floating like a banner, colored witli the
sunset, and then piercetl with stars, your
only link to the world outside. If you can
ever get away from the charm of the water long enough, you will go the strange,
oriental, fantastic, bewildering cathedral of
the city, called St. Marks. It is well that
the light falls so dimly through its windows,
for otherwise, your eyes would be dazzled
by all these costly marbles, and mosaics,
and splendid arches. It is as difficult to
give you an idea of it, as of Venice itself,
for I have nothing with which to compare
it, it is so unique. Nowhere else ill all
the world does one see such golden glories
as here. Just before the Duoino is the famous Place of St. Marks, with its palaces
ami stately Campanile; antl near by is the
magnificent palace of the Doges, and the
dreary prisons, and the famous aiid gloomy
" Bridge of Sighs." One little excursion I
made to one of the islets lying near Venice,
was peculiarly interesting. This was to
the Armenian Convent of St. La/.are, of
which so much has been written.
Venice abounds in stately churches and
palaces, but its grand, central point is the
palace of St. Marks, of which I have
works of art of the rarest value, important
libraries, and all the splendid relics of the
Mediciau rule. Perhaps, however, you
will linger longest at the quiet old convent
6f Han Marco, where Fra Angelico painted
his sweet-laced angels ami Madonnas, and
where Savnnorala lived, and thought, and
prayed. From his little cell, which is here
shown, he came forth to meet that fiery
death, which was, however, for his heroic
antl martyr soul, a translation.
The spring is just beginning to dawn on
the hills, iv whose embrace Florence lies.
If this is the beginning, ouly, what must
the perfected beauty be ? I had much
pleasure in seeing in Florence Mr. anil Mrs.
J. J. Jarves,and their charming children.
Though Mr. Jarves left Honolulu so many
years ago, there are still those who will remember him most pleasantly. His home
here is in an interesting old palace, where
he lias gathered about him choice and valuable works of art, which his highly cultivated and refined taste render him singu-
larly atlapted to appreciate.
From curliest childhood the Leaning
Tower of Pisa had been most familiar to
me, and I found here the other day, in seeing the reality, quite what my curly fancy
hail pictured. Tne cathedral and Baptistry
are beautiful; few edifices in Italy have
charmed me more. In the latter is a marvellous echo. The guide sings one note
after another, and they blend in the dome
above in the most exquisite of silvery harmonies* To please me, he sang, in various
pitch, our musical word, aloha," which
came back to me in a shower ol melody.
From Pisa to Rome is a journey of some
hours. I came by the western coast, and
had fine views of the Mediterranean, and a
glimpse of Elba in the blue distance. And
here we are, at the gates of the Eternal
City, and here, I think, for the present, we
will pause. Perhaps some other day we
will talk of its treasures and memories.
To-day is the first day of the Carnival, and
the sun is shining gloriously in a cloudless
sky. The air is filled with the spring songs
of the birds. Just before me rises Monte
PI nolo, ami I notice, ou all sides, the promspoken above. If you think me too enthu- ise of the New Yeur, snowy, white almond

let me know what you think.
ON TO HOMK.
I find I must condense, more and more,
witli every onward step of the journey—
and this is far from easy. After leaving
Venice, I visited two exceedingly interesting old Univeisity towns, ftidua and Bologna, which,for me, had a peculiar charm.
They are two of the most ancient, and
were, atone time, two of the most famous,
seats of learning iv Europe. I shall not
soon forget the cordial courtesy which I
met with from certain of the Professors,
who did so much to make uiy visit interesting. Though we may never meet again,
the memory of their attentions will always
be most pleasant and abiding. A source of
great interest to me was a visit to the once
famous city of Ravenna, near the const of
the Adriatic. The ancient Christian Basil-
icas, which one sees here, of the sth and
6th centuries, bring with wonderful vividness before the mind of the visitor, that
interesting period iv the history of the
Church. Here, in Ravenna, Dante, the
greatest of Italian poets, ended his sad and
unrestful life, and here he is buried. His
tomb is simple antl unpretentious. Near
by is a singularly picturesque old buryingground, with carven sarcophagi aud monuments, amid a grove of laurels and willows.
Florence, that city of flowers, on the
Amo, charmed me, as-it charms every one
who comes here. Here you have a superb

FOURTEEN THOUSAND CHINESE ON
THE ISLANDS!
Some weeks ago the Saturday Press asserted that there were 13,000 Chinese on
the Islands. That statement was admitted
as true. Since then, one or two immigrant
ships have arrived from China. Certainly,
our present Chinese population would
amount to 14,000. The large majority are
males, in the prime of life. They equal a
fourtli part of all the inhabitants. The
Chinese male laboring population will
equal all the male laborers of ail other nationalities—English, American, German,
Portugese and Hawaiian.
This is certainly a most serious and sober
fact for contemplation, on the part of all
well-wishers to Hawaiian Independence,
Anglo-American civilization,and Christian
Evangelization./'We leave, just now, for
others, the consideration of this subject in
its financial, economical, political and
labor-supplying aspects. We do not ignore
the gravity of the subject In every one of
these aspects. Our rulers, our merchants,
our planters, and our fellow-citizens generally, are called upon to study this subject.
This is a subject also, which has its religious
views. The friends of Evangelization and
Missions are now called upon to rise above
race prejudice, sectarianism, or selfishness,
and put forth a more decided and aggressive
agency. All professing the faintest form
or semblance of Christianity, are called
upon to become, in earnest, Christian Missionaries. Wo are brought face to face
with a mighty breast-work of pure heathenism. The Orient and Occident meet on the
Hawaiian Islands, as they never met before. The sons of Japhet and the sons of
Shem parted at the Flood, or at Babelone branch of the human family going
west, aud the other going east, and now
meet in almost equal numbers on the Hawaiian Islands.
Every possible means
should be undertaken and carried forward
for their Evangelization. There is no wisdom in standing aloof and murmuring at
the ways of Providence." 'Schools must
be established,unti encouraged. Colporteurs
must be sent fortli antl sustained. The Hawaiian Board has a most important work
on hand, equal to that in Micronesia, or
the Home field. It is for Christians to organize Sabbatli schools. If money is
needed, it must be forthcoming.
Let no one imagine that England and
America, having once forced open the
gates of China, they can be closed. Read
the following paragraph, copied from a
New Zealand paper:
"Chinese Emigration —The Chinese are
amongst the greatest of colonizers. Certainly, they seem to have made up their
minds to take possession of the whole
East. This people, In whose social and domestic lives there are so many gentle virtues ; these commercial men who succeed
in busiin-ss, no matter what part of the
world they go to ; these Chinese diplomatists, who equal any British statesman in
diplomacy ; these energetic Chinese, who,
when they meet a difficulty, as Sir John
Davis said, take time fur tiieir fulcrum
and patience for their lever," and wait for
the time to come when they shall overcome
the difficulty ;—what is to become of thin
people will,before long, be one of the greatest problems of the world. Statesmen of
all the Western countries will have to take
this matter into consideration, and say,
W hat is to be done with the vast emigra"tion
that Is going on?" Some of you may
think that 1 am speaking in rather exaggerated terms; but, do you know that the
Chinese are pouring down in a living torrent upon Cbambodia, Slam, the Malay
peninsula, the Celebes, the Philippine Islands, aud Papua, aud the myriad Islands
of Polynesia? And they are going north
in vast hordes to Thibet, and Mongolia,and
Cores. San Francisco and all California
are feeling the pressure to an extreme extent. It is evident that since the Chinese
have begun to move—and they are very
fond of going abroad—this question of what
is to become of them is a very serious one.
Now, remember, they carry with, them
their manners, and customs, and Idolatry.
Societies that are working in connection
with the Chinese, should make this a serious matter for consideration, snd feel the
importance of the work they are carrying
on."

HYMN EOR GOOD FRIDAY.
BY JAMES HUNNEWELL,
With Maps, and Plates, and a Memoir.
By Rev. Isaac Watts.

1 Whkn I eurvey the wondrous rroaa
On which the Prime of Glory died,
M> rlcheat gain I count but loie,
And puur contempt ou all niy pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, thai I should boast,
Bare In the death of Chrlat, My Ood:
All the vain things that .harm me moat,
I sacrifice them to Hia blood.
3 See, from Hia bead, Hia handa, Hia feet,
Sorrow anil
down:
Did e'er auch le*ve and sorrow meet.
Or thorns coinjjgse ao rich a crown .'
a Hia dying crimson, like a robe,
Sproada o'er Hia body on the tree:
Then am I dead to all tbe globe.
And all the globe la dead to me.
ft Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a preaent far too small:
Love so amazing, ao divine,
Demands my aoul, my life, my all.
1880.
Six years after the American Mission
was established on these Islands, in 1820,
the American Board of Missions desired to
send hither, around Cape Horn, a small
schooner, to run among the islands for the
accommodation of the Mission. It was
built at tbe suggestion of the Rev. W. Ellis, of Missionary fame, who had visited
the islands. Its measurment was 49 feet
long, and 13 wide, and 40 tons register,
lacking about half a ton. The Board gave
Mr. Hunnewell the frieght of the vessel,
on condition that he would navigate the
little craft to Honolulu. Be it remembered
Mr. Hunnewell had been mate of the
"Thaddeus," which brought the first missionary company to Honolulu. Leaving
Boston on the 18th of January, 1826, she
arrived here on the 21st of October, having
made the passage in fl months, anchoring
80 times in 20 different ports.
Our limits will not allow lis to say half
we should be pleased to say about the
voyage, its commander, and its results.
Suffice it, on Mr. Hunnewell's arrival he
delivered over the vessel to the Mission,
and established the mercantile house
which, under various names, has long been
known as C. Brewer <fc Co," which originally occupied a counting-room on the
premises of C. B. & Co.'s upper store, on
Fort and Hotel Streets.
The volume lying on our table is printed
in quarto, on beautifully tinted paper,
broad margin, and is in all respects most
neatly and tastefully executed. Besides a
steel engraving of Mr. Hunnewell, there is
a large portrait of Kamehameha I, with
maps of Cape Horn, Ac, Ac. The volume
also contains the "Log" of the voyage,
and much other matter. It was published
by a son of the hero of the voyage, who
now resides in Charlestown, where he dispenses a generous hospitality, and enjoys
what Cicero would style Olium cum digni-
"
tate.
"
Remarks by Bishop Cleveland Coxe, in
a late number of the New York Independent:
"Ever since I became a minister of the
Crucified, I have appointed that hymn for
Good Friday,at evening prayer ; arid,truly,
even at the close of the unspeakable consolations and elevations of our liturgic worship on that blessed day of days, I have
found it coming iv to give the solemnities
a completeness and a fragrance which they
would have lacked without it. It was like
the perfume of Mary's ointment, that filled
the house, and which only Judas failed to
delight in. O ! how years come back to
me laden with memories of my Good Fridays; those holy evenings, especially, at
the end, when the dying daylight reminded
us of the meditations of the Marys as tbe
Sabbath drew on." Then in rich, sweet,
simple music, borrowed from the worship
of Magdalen College, Oxford, to look upon
the Cross and pour out the heart's emotions
in the words
"
—
Death of Thomas Caklyle. -English
and American papers generally notice the
death of this renowned author. His hatred
of all shams, we suppose, led him to make
the following allusion to that Hawaiian
Queen who braved the terrors of Pele, and
offered her prayers, on the crater's brink,
to Jehovah:
"A certain Queen In some South Sea
Island, I have read in Missionary books,
had been converted to Christianity; did
not any longer believe in the old gods. She
assembled her people ; said to them, My
faithful People, the gods do not dwell In
that burning-mountain in the centre of our
Isle. That is not God ; no, that is a common turning-mountain—- mere culinary
fi-.o burning under peculiar circumstances.
See, I will walk before you to that burningmountain ; will empty my washbowl Into
it, cast my slipper over it, defy it to the
uttermost, and stand the consequences!"
She walked accordingly, this South Sea
heroine, nerved to the sticking-place ; her
people following in pale horror and expectancy : she did her experiment ; and, I am
told, they have truer notions of the gods
in that Island ever since. Experiment
which it is now very easy to repeat, and
very needless. Honor to the Brave who
deliver us from Phantom-dynasties, in
South Sea Islands and in North I"
Temperance Revival.—During the past
month several Temperance Meetings have
been held. One was addrrssed by Captain
Bray, of the "Morning Star," and another
by the Rev. Mr. Forbes. Efficient Committees have been appointed, which are
now operating in various ways, throughout the community. Much good, It is believed, will thereby be accomplished.
The friends of Temperance have not
awaked one moment too early to join the
friends of Temperance in other lands, who
are wonderfully revived and quickened in
the work. We cannot open a paper from
either the 0. S., Scotland, or England, but
we read notices of a wonderful Temperance
revival. The conviction is gaining ground
that rum-selling and rum-drinking are
curses, under which the world has groaned

THE FRIEND, MAT,
EDITOR'S TABLE.
HIS MAJESTY IN JAPAN.
Letters and papers bring full reports of
the brilliant reception given by tlie Emperor and people of Juj.mii to our King.
Our narrow limits, alone, prevent us from
noticing the same in full. There was, however, one pleasing incident deserving of
special mention, as it refers to that chord
of Christian sympathy existing between
the friends of Missions and Christianity,
* in the two countries.
When the news of Commodore Perry's
successful negotiations reached Honolulu,
In 1863, our Hawaiian Missionary Society
appropriated $1,000 of Its limited funds for
Japan, and placed the same ut the disposal
of the American Board. As that society
had not then established a Mission in that
country, the money remained in the treasury.
When fhe 11. S. 8. Powhattan visited
Honolulu, in 1860, Chaplain Wood applied
for the money to build a Union Chapel in

jesty's reply:
A special duty which rests ujx>n us to-day
is this : this house of Cod in which we
meet to-tiay owes its erection to the gener-
ous dorm titm of a large Bum of money from
Hawaiian Christians, to build the first native church in Japan. This money was
entrusted to the mission of the Reformed
church iv America for our use.
By the generous gifts of others, which
were added to this, and the exertion of our
first teachers, this church was erected, ami
was dedicated to the worship of Ood July
10th, 1875, from which time it has been
freely used by us.
We well know the

"PUSH THE ENDOWMENT OF OAHU
COLLEGE."
We copy this lino from a letter received
a few weeks ago from Hawaii, and from
ono whose children were educated there,
and whose money has been given to the
present endowment. Only a few days
since we met a friend of the College, who
has contributed towards the present endowment,and who said to us:"I am so much
interested in Punahou I cannot sleep
nights I My children were educated there,
and I hope my grandchildren will be there
educated." We believe there is a deep and
growing undercurrent in favor of doing
something noble and generous for this institution.
Since the above paragraphs were written,
tlie Trustees have held another meeting,
when the Committee of Arrangements
made a report, which was approved. At
the close of tlie College year iv June, in addition to the Annual Examination, there
will be a festive entertainment on the
grounds, and a public gathering at Fort
Street Church in the evening. In due seasou a programme will be published.
It is hoped the Trustees will be able to
announce some definite plan in regard to
enlargement and endowment. Among so
many hundreds of Alumni and friends, it
would be passing strange if something
quite handsome cannot be done !

very favorable auspices, with the co-operation
of the churches in endeavoring to help the fallen

These various Cemmittees have entered upon
their labors with a zeal that must carry success
with it. The Gospel Temperance meetings that
have been held at the Bethel vestry, conducted
by Captain Bray and Bey. A. 0. Forbes, have
the true ring in them to help the fallen, and at
the same time strengthen the Christian's heart.
We want more of this self-sacrificing effort by
members of the Y. M. C. A., and others, if we
would see the work of the Lord prosper in our
midst.

of
ChriMen's stianAssociation
iy The annual meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
held on the 14th ultimo, at the residence of the
retiring President, Dr. J. M. Whitney, was an
occasion, as usual, for social festivities after
the routine of business, to which a large number
of friends and members of the Association gathered. Prayer was offered by Bey. W. Frear,
and after the election of officers, the various reports were presented. The Treasurer showed a
satisfactory state of the funds; total receipts,
over $700; all bills paid, and a balance on hand.
The Secretary reported a membership of 57, and
a year of full activity in the various lines of
Christian work.
The Address of the retiring President contained a resume of the work of the Association
during his term, and closed with un earnest appeal for the admission of ladies to its privileges
and labors. A tribute of recognition of the
sympathy and support of Bey. Mr. Frear, whose
resignation of the pastorate of Fort Street
Church, involves, also, the loss of his assistance
in Y. M. 0. A. work. Mrs. Handford contributed to the enjoyment of the evening by some excellent piano forte selections, and the bountiful
supply of refreshments by the hostess, fully satisfied the company.
A number of new members joined the Association, which starts off on its new year under
most favorable prospects.
We were deeply impressed with the opportunities
afforded the people of Honolulu to
"Sow in the morn thy seed," on learning the
results of a few month's experience in our city
of one who came a total stranger. On his return to his home he writes:—" Since my return
I have become a praying man ; not a Christian
as you know them, and as I feel I ought to be,
* * * but all I am, or hope to be,
I owe to the Christian people of Honolulu."
We would acknowledge the receipt of Y.
M. C. A. publications, with thanks, from the
following, viz:—Monthly Bulletin, St. Louis;
Association Record, Montreal; Weekly Bulletin, Chicago; Association News, Philadelphia, Weekly Bulletin, Brooklyn, Our Mission, Melbourne, and the annual report of the
Y. M. C. A.of Sydney. All these give evidence
of progressive work in the different fields that is
very gratifying.
In connection with the renewed Temperance
effort here, it is very encouraging to see
the success that is crowning the labors of earnest workers in the same cause elsewhere. The
Gospel Temperance meetings in Chicago, Brooklyn and other cities, as also the work in whole
sections of the Middle and Southern States, are
being abundantly blessed.
