POETRY.
Events arc waves, that Mill do ownard roll,
And Providence, llie tide that doth control;
The ocean, life,—the hark, the human soul;
Tin- word of God, the chut by which to steer;
Conscience, the watch on deck when danger's near;
The rock traced clearly on the chart, is sin ;
Hope is the anchor, cast the veil within;
The cable, the sure promises of God
The wake, the separate path by each that's trod j
P-cason the rudder ; faith the magnet true ;
And Heaven, the harbor to be kept in view ;
Jesus, the Pilot, at the helm doth stand ;
Tho spirit, is the breeze that wafts to land ;
The sails to catch the breeze the means of grace ;
The masts, occasions given for their embrace.
Our days to number, is the log to heave j
Our age, the rate of vessel through llie wave ;
Life's pulse, the line the water's depth to find ;
The crew, the thoughts and feelings of the mind ;
The freight of holy tempers, rich supplies,
Intended for the market of the skies ;
Death the last billow, soon to break on shore j
Eternity, the coast where time's no more.

THE WINE CUP.
0, touch not the wine cup, though fairit may seem,
As tho fancy wrought scenes of a beautiful dream,
And the soft honied accents of pleasure invite,
To banish thy cares and to bask in its light;
Like the sepulchre gilded, the eye it may win,
But corruption and death are secreted within."

That Conscience is itself a host;

THE FRIEND,
HONOLULU, JANUARY 15, 1847.
Sober Captain and drunken
Steward.
About fifteen months since, an American
whaler touched at this port, and while lying
at anchor in the outer harbor, during the
absence of the Captain, the steward stole a
bottle of brandy from the medicine chest,
and drinking it, became intoxicated and very
insulting to the officers and Captain when
he returned. As to the guilt of the unfaithful steward there could be no possible doubt.
The question arose, how should he be punished ? Probably, nineteen twentieths of
the masters would have ordered him to be
put in irons, and when sober) siczed up to
receive orie, two or three dozen. If that

Religous Anniversaries.
Late overland papers contain full reports
of the anniversaries in New York City, held
during the month of May, commencing on
the II th and closing the 17th. The most
important were the American Bible, Tract,
Education, and Home Missionary Societies.
Our narrow limits will only allow us to offer
a few remarks in regard to the anniversary
of the American Seamen's Friend Society,
held on the evening of the 1 lib, at the Tabernacle. The meeting was numerously attended. The number of seamen present was
quite large. The President of the Society,
Capt. E. Richardson, occupied tho Chair.
The annual Report was read by one of the
mentable news:

ied with the effort, it darts into the air; but
there it meets as active enemies; and at last,
il plunges iiiui the water, only to fall into the
mouth of some pursuer there. So the sailor,
wearied with storms, and rocks, nnd sickly
climes, seeks the land; but there he meets
with more numerous and powerful enemies,
who strive to destroy bitn, both body and
soul. Therefore there is necessity for special effort on bis behalf. And there are
great encouragements."
Then followed the Rev. Dr. Tyng, whose
eloquence is braid in the advocacy of every
good and worthy object. Dr. T. is successor of the lute Dr. Milnor, of New York.
In connection with the anniversary ofthe
Seamen'■ Friend Society, wo would refer to
an important convention which was held in
New York, composed of the principal seamen's Preachers in the United States.
Intelligence respecting tho operations of
Seamen's Friend Societies and other kindred
institutions in the United States, is most Encouraging. While our hearts are thus made
glad with news from the new world, that
from the old world is no less cheering. A
copy of Wiluicr &. Smith's European Times,
for July 2G, now lies upon our table, containing a full report of the laying of the corner
stone of the new Sailor's Home, in Liverpool, by Prince Albeit. A further account
will appear in a subsequent number of the
Friend. Prince Albert's donation for the
Home, was JEIOO. The entire cost is estimated at X25.000.

was held at tho school room. Judge Turi-ill was appointed to preside as chairman,
and Mr. Wilcox to act as secretary. After listening to a report of the financial affairs of the school for the term about to
close, it was unanimously voted that the
school should be continued. Terms were
adopted, as may be seen in advertisement.
Rev. S. C. Damon and J. B. DcFiennes,
Esq., were appointed a committee to act in
concert with Mr. Wilcox, to conduct the
financial and other affairs ofthe school. It
is sincerely hoped that the school will open
with a sufficient number of scholars to meet
its necessary expenses.

Though there crown* thee, monarch mountain,
No »rr*y of frowning peaks,
Thy bold profile on the heavens
True sublimity bespeaks,
Domed and vast, in silent grandeur,
Swells thy Titan-head oa high,
Smoothly shaven, and forever
Propping up the leaden sky.
Deep wilbin thy bosom cradled,
Lies the old volcanic fire,
In a boding, fitful slumber,
Nursing for some errand dire,
From thy yawning summit-craters
Oft the fiery flood balh gushed,
wasting torrent*,
And in raging,
Down thy (idea in vengeance rushed.
Stream on stream successive retting,
Slowly upward thou hast grown,
Leaving notched the cycling ages
In thy changeless heart of stone.
Oh, what wondrous world-upheaving*
Thou hast witnessed in thy day!
Islands, mountains, freshly risen,
Venui-like, from ocean's *pray.
Round thy infant head the monsters
Of the primal ocean played,
Strangely, at tby fiery tossings,
From thee darting, sore dismayed ;
E'en old ocean, foiled and vanquished,
Fled thy Vulcan-tempered arms,
And in triumph, tby proud summit
Rose from out a aea of calm*.

Mighty art tbou, ancient mountain,
Mighty—but more mighty (till
He who in hie palm hath weighed thee,
And controls thee by his will.
Lo 1 he speaks I and all thy burnings
Instant sink in dull repose ;
Lo! he speak*! tby fires rekindle,
And like wax thy substance glow*.
Ah ! haw toon, at hi* commanding,
E'en the flinty globe we tread,
Melting, burning, glowing, wasting,
Its expiring glare would shed.
Be thy dome, then, mighty mountain
God's own altar evermore,
And let him who feels thy grandeur,
There creation's God adore.

P. M., on the 18th, the ship being then 45 miles N. W. from

the Are appeared to be subdued, and the captainreported It ont,
