ADVERTISEMENTS.
When e'er at evenings peaceful close,
I bend the knee in prayer,
Then, Brother, will I ask for thee,
High heaven's most tender care.
I'll ask that friendship, love and hope,
May in thy pathway smile,
That faithful friends be ever near,
Thy sorrows to beguile.
I'll ask that mid each tempting snare,
That this seductive world portrays,
That virtue pure may thee attend,
Asit has done in younger days.
I'll ask that piety may shed
Its cheering beams on thee
I'll ask let what will be thy lot,
That thou wilte'er remember me.

make diligent enquiry as to all reports of
strong drink being deposited in the settlement. Unanimously carried,
J. S. Griffin, Secretary.
This early and decided stand of the Society, as shown by the foregoing extract,
and having previously numbered about forty members to the pledge in our infant settlement, was not without its influence in
securing the Legislative action in the fol
lowing spring of '44, prohibiting the traffic
in the country, under the penalty off 100

for each offence.
Notwithstanding the laws of our Provinsial government are as duly respected as
the laws of any part of the civilized world
(owing, doubtless, to our having no strong
drink) still our chief reliance is upon the
pledge and the circulation of temperance
information. Indeed the Legislative Committee wish it distinctly understood, that
their act does not touch the question of
strong drink, but that no
one shall destroy his neighbor by its sale.

EDUCATION.
—
unfortunate class of our fellow men to
whom God lias denied the use of two important senses. The science of education
has however, now advanced to that degree
in Prussia and Saxony that the dumb are
actually taught to articulate sounds, to speak,
to xeod with distinctness and propriety. We
have first been made acquainted with this
astonishing fact in reading the VHth Annul
Report of Horace Mann, Esq. the intelligent Secretary of the Massachusetts Board
of Education. It appears from the Report
that Mr Mann has travelled over Europe
for the benefit of gathering light to pour
upon the common school system of Massachusetts—a State where education has a
strong hold upon the lore and affection of
all classes in society. How true it is, that
the educated are awak in every laudible
way of improving their systems of education.
After giving an account of the system
pursued in imparting to the dumb the
knowledge of sounds and the use of their
articulating powers, the learned Secretary
remarks:—

they had been in expectation of the wine.
They were surprised. They looked at
him, and he looked at them. After locking the door on them, he said—" Don't be
suprised, gentlemen: when I dined with
you, you made me drink whether I would
or not; now I shall make you eat, whether
you will or not."
We love and venerate customs and usages which exert a good influence, and especially if they came down from bygone
ages; but if their tendency is hurtful and
injurious to society, then let them be abandoned. If a fashion is pernicious to individuals and society, then get a new one.—
That the wine drinking usages of society
have and do exert a most unhappy and
baleful influence there can be no doubt
when it is considered how many are now
confirmed in their habits of intemperance,
who commenced their downward career as
fashionable wine drinkers.

EDUCATION.
For me Friend.
One reason Why young people so often
think study a hardship and education irksome, arises from the manner in* which
their studies are conducted.
A certain portion of geography, of history, of languages, and various other subjects is read or committed to memory,
without any connexion between them being maintained. With regard to history,
for instance, a history of Greece or' of
Rome, or of England is pert into the hands
ofyoung persons, and when they have gone
through its pages, containing, a record of
certain events that transpire at certain periods, and of certain characters instrumental in producing those events; and if the
pupil can remember in what particular pe-
riod any great battle was fought, or'at what
time such a king reigned, or such a republic flourished, they ore then considered to
be acquainted with histoiy. They know,
however, no more of the mora] character?
istics of the several -nations which have
passed under review, of"their local peculiarities, of their progressive improvements,
of the intlueiitial bearing which one counpon another, than they know of
irmntion of their own minds, and'
think no,more -of the cause, and design of
the complicated, yet wise arrangement of
the earth's affairs, than they think of the
volitions which bring their own muscle* into play, their own limbs into action.
But let history be viewed, not as a mere
•
chronological register .of certain facts and
retires, a mere record of battles lost
or won, bbt as a science enriched with
treasures from almost -every source, as a
ecting link between .the various subjects of contemplation which ought to occupy the thoughts of intelligent beings,
and it will at once become a most interesting study.
The history of every nation comprehends, necessarily, its progress from barm to civilization; its internal changes,
causes producing those changes, and
irions characters by which they are
promoted; the rise and advancement of its
language, literature, laws, arts and scienmechanism of its legislative, politond eclesiastical system, together with

admirable preparation for rightly studying
biography and history, which furnish us
with the practical development, of character in conduct. If it be also -true that the
history of a nation will depend much on
its institutions,.whether legislative, civil ot

church history, and- all its moral.and religious influences, should be examined. If,
too, the nation derive any of its glory from

Many of the caves on iHawaii contain

View of examining the state of the fortificatione, tfce. While there, he concluded
to deliver a discourse! A crowded audience attended, principally composed of
sailors and soldiers on duty there. The
Dr. took for his text—" Fear God, and

the words oi his text. One of the sailors
belonging to the Macedonian, was observ-.

honor the king," the tnr could no longer
retain his indignation; he rose up and candidly exclaimed, Fear God, and honor

Much credit m surely due to Mr Thompson and Ihe

table at the Sandwich Island*.
Between sixty snd seventy American ladies and
gentlemen took their seals at the table. Mr Brown,
the Y. States Commissioner, presided, assisted by Mr
Hooper, Capt. Brewer, and Dr Wood, Vice Presidents. It was really a doligntful spectacle to behold

—" Give ear, O ye heavens! and I will
speak; And hear, O earth, the words of
my mouth." After extolling the glorious
perfections of God, Moses turns to the
people and calls upon them to remember
the days of old."
"For the Lord's
portion is his people; and Jacob is the lot
of his inheritance." Then follow the words
selected for our present consideration, Duteronomy, xzxii: 10. "He found rim in

POETRY.
For the Friend.
Lines tuggutid on teeing in the Friend, a facsimile of the Temperance Flag, that first striking sty
eye, and then sinking deeply into my mind, caused me
to become a te-totalir.
Where e'er I roam from East to West,
North, South, upon the sea
I'm sure to meet thy welcome face,
Proud banner of the free.
And as I gaze upon thy folds,
1 check the rising sigh.
And feel, that when that flag's unfurl'd
The sailor's friend.is nigh.
What, though the Yankee seamen boast
Upon their stripes and stars.
And o'er their cups, proclaim aloud
That they are free bom tan?
Their flag has only caused to quake
An earthly monarch's force,
Ours brings with irresistless force,
The power of Satan down.
Where e'er that flag has once been raised,
Content and peace are found;
Be 'ton I he deep and sparkling sea,
Or on the well til'd ground.
And flocking 'neath its fost'ring care,
Are seen both youth and age,
The lisping, prattling, cherub boy
The hoary headed sage.
The drunkard's wife that long has bow'd
Beneath her load of woe,
And fear'd to hear that once loved step,
That now forbodes a blow;
Looks up to thee with streaming eyes,
And blessings murmurs out,
For he has join'd the Spartan band,
To drive interap'rance out.
All hail! bright flag, float on with pride,
There's life beneath thy shade-;
All bail! ye brave devoted band
That first the onslaught made;
For generations yet unborn.
Shal point with heart-felt glee,
Unto the flag, that flutters from
Oar temperance ship at sea.

EDITOR'S TABLE.
By late arrivals, publications have been
forwarded to our address, from at least
three quarters of the globe, the east, west
and south, while by looking at the marine
intelligence, the reader may observe that
we have news from the north. We would
respectfully protest against the use of phrases very frequently employed to define the
locality of the Sandwich Islands, viz:—
Ends of the earth," confines of civili"zation,"
"
far off Islands of the Pacific."
"
Don't laugh in contempt, reader, although
you may reside in London, Paris, or New
York, at the following,— Honolulu, capital of the Hawaiian Islands—focus of intelligence—centre of the world." We are
at a loss to discover why the dwellers in
one part of the world have any more right
than those in another, to arrogate to themselves the pre-eminence of living in the
centre of the world. Some remark that
European and American news is three
months old before it reaches us, and so is
our news of an equal age before it reaches
Europe!

POETRY.
For the Friend,
A FRAGMENT, ADDRESSED TO THE
DIA MOND ROCK.
Old Rock ! I would that thou could'st speak
And tell me what thou'stseen, from that high peak,
Which Sol dost gild with ruddy beam, long, long before
He sheds his cheerful rays, on sea or shore.
For thou could'st tell of yearsbefore the flood,
Ere first frail man, had sinned against his God
And thus provoked his anger, to destroy
A world He'd made, so full of peace and joy ;
And could'st reveal that secret, dark of thine,
Of how the people, came into this clime
In one single breath, the mystery proclaim,
And place me high upon the mount of fame.
What were thy feelings, when thou first descri'd
The Flag of England, waving o'er thy tide.
And gazed in speechless wonder in thy look.
Upon the band, led on by daring Cook.
Who rang'd thy burning mountains, o'er and o'or,
And shed his life's blood on thy rock bound shore ?
Could'st thou then foretell, as to thy wondering view,
From ocean's mist he burst in war canoe,
That he, thy ancient altars would deface,
And raise those of the Christian's Ood in place ;
Make thy dread chaunt of dusky warrior's yell.
Give way tothat of Sabbath going bell,
Break the foul chain, that long had held thee boand,
And hurl thepower of Satan to the Ground ?
If this thou knew'st thou must have hail'd with pride
The march of emigration's onward tide ;
Thy flinty bosom now should thrill with joy.
And pleasure reign in thee without alloy,
For thou ean'st boast ofhaving gain'd a stand
As high, as highest fam'd Christian land.
In arts, in science, in culture taught,
A home that is, with milk and honey fraught.
These then sre thine, and better far than nil
For aid, thy children on their God now call,
Peace be with thee, thou heaven favor'd Isle,
Upon thy flocksand bald, may plenty smile.
Nor aver desolation cross thy path ;
Nor war, of minds, nor man's excited wrath,
Be then inscribed upon the book of fame,
A bright example of thoTemp'rance name.
Fore Peak.

THE T?UUNu.
THE FRIEND.
Honolulu, October 1, 1845.
ART AND SCIENCE.
The new
" Transit House" of Mr.
Boardtnan is really an ornament to the
town. We have rarely seen a building in
any part of the world, which displayed more
architectural symmetry, neatness and beauty. The architect, Mr. R. A. S. Wood,
richly merits the praise of all who delight
in beholding a finished specimen of the
building art.
If the building ornaments the town, the
object surely, for which it was erected, reflects much credit upon Mr. Boardman's
ardent love for scientific and astronomical
calculations. His skill, in rating chronometers, is now deservedly high among navigators in the Pacific, but by fitting up this
observatory, he has shown that no labor or
expense shall be spared, which may render
more exact his calculation, or afford satisfaction to his employers.
