Micronesia. The arrival of the Morning Star brings late intelligence from all the mission stations in Micronesia. The return of the packet was hastened in consequence of the sickness of the wife of the Rev. Dr. Pierson, of Ebon. In several letters which have been received, the usefulness and value of the Morning Star are particularly mentioned. Writes the Rev. Mr. Roberts, under date of October 11 : to " Tho Morning Star is a great blessing be us, and far off be the day when she shall dispensed with, unless for some more substantial and commodious craft." From the Rev. Dr. Gulick's letter we copy as follows (written in view of his being transferred from Ascension to another part of the missionary field. He is now upon Ebon, at the station vacated by Dr. Pierson): " Our process of teaching has gone on as in former years. There are at least six native families in our tribe who keep up daily family worship night and morning, and who walk very consistently. Several of them have been prayers" for years ; one for four years, and "none less than two. * * * I may, I suppose, very consistently, with a satisfaction in the idea of going to a new field, express my grief in leaving my lambs at this interesting point of their course. It would be delightful to stay and witness the growth of the mustard-seed. The work will inevitably go backsome, perhaps a good deal, even in the hearts of these, my converts; though there are few I would have taken more pleasure in introducing here than Mr. Roberts; thismakes me less anxious that they should be admitted to the church before I leave.

" Numerals.—The numerals of each dialect possess some features so much alike, I will give them. They are in full : •■> It s a 4 Kiw*. —Ituvun lino Jiln Kinm-ii Lalliin Jilijlmi H.isape— An Aod Ari Kjil Apunrf Aliin 0 8 7 liljin-im-jawun Twnl-i-lh ik Twnth-iro-juwun Eb'* IV'Miv:—Kij Atn Awhl 10 111T,*,! bOI I'o.iai'i:—KimgMu Of these the second, third, fifth, eighth and tenth can all be referred to the same radices. We have ro and ri —Ebon and Ponape— which gives us r radical. We have also tho forms jil of both numbers, the same roots. The filth of each finds its root in Urn, the last syllable. The eighth has wal, and tho tenth ungol, Ebon, and ngaul, Ponape. I have presented these, as I have said, because thereis much which is evidently to be referred to the same roots. Perhaps at first sight the casual reader may not be struck with much unity—hut to him who is frequently using these numerals, both by themselves and in combination with others, the unity is striking, and so I doubt not it will appear to every reasonable philologist. But in regard to numerals, we havo more striking similarity in one set which pertains to the Ebon language. They are essentially the same as those above given of the Ponape dialect. The Ebon numbers which 1 will eive are not, I would remark, ordinarily used. They only come in play when the knots, into which a cocoanut leaf or pandanus may be tied, are counted—counted for the purpose of foretelling the future. The numbers are: S 3 5 8 12 4 7 Eboj Erth Erl Kjil Ap'Jilg Alhu Athu Wrra W-lib I'oNAPii— Art Ari Kjil Apunj Alim Aon hij Awnl 0 10 [net lii'-jungolth. Ebov I'oVAPt:—Atu KutuiiKaul. In looking over these numbers, we see a littlo difference, but mostly that occasioned by a transposition of some of the numbers. From one to five exclusive, all are essentially alike. By transposing the sixth of Ponape to the seventh of Ebon, the seventh of Ponape to the eighth of Ebon, the eighth of Ponape to the ninth of Ebon, and the ninth of Ponape to the sixth of Ebon, and all these numbers, with the tenths, could be referred to the same We regard these numerals of Ebon as an interesting fact. It seems to point to a purpose in the native mind, to hold fast those which are common to the two dialects in some form, though there be a sundering and isolation of the tribes. We know there is no inter-communication between these two tribes now to account for the adoption of, say the Ebon numbers from the Ponapians. Moreover, if the Ponapians use numbers, as they foretell the future, the numbers are few as compared to those given above. And again we think all possibility of borrowing is precluded, since these same numbers are common to all the Marshall islanders. We can only account for their existence in both languages then from the purpose of the native mind, as I have said, to hold fast to them in some form, though there be a wide separation from the mother. Let me speak of the mode of enumerating articles, as there is much which is common to them in both dialects, and interesting. When articles are numbered, as by one, two, three, Sec., up to ten, the order is as in Eng- �.

Suffer a remark upon the mode of counting on Ebon beyond fifty. It will be a little out of the course of my remarks, yet as it is singular, may interestyour readers, and perhaps furnish myself with a little information, whether the same form prevails anywhere else in Polynesia. Beyond fifty, and on to one hundred, there are no terms which can strictly be applied to the intermediate numbers. When fifty is spoken, then the next term is six. seven, eight, nine, ten, one hundred (usins; the Ebon terms). The cumber fifty and six, lor instance, is not in the native mind fifty-six, and fifty and seven is not fifty-seven, but the terms six, seven, eight, nine, ten, though the names of the ordinary numerals are reckoned each ten, and the five then added to the fifty gives one hundred. Example:—suppose we have counted on to fifty, the name is limungol—the native will say limungol, jiljinu, jiljin-im-juwon, twalithuk, twath-im-juwon, jungol, apuk, one hundred, or as I have said, fifty, six, seven, eight, nine, ten—one hundred. Hence there is no term for sixty-two, or eighty-five, or ninety-nine. I have just referred to this system, as I have said, wishing if any one can give information of a like system anywhere else in the Pacific Ocean, they would would publish it in your paper, or elsewhere, as may be convenient. The ordinals, as such, are wanting in both . L "''"'He• who will look over these two tablesand Kirn excludes, kij includes him.

Without doubt,it is the same current which is found in the Indian Ocean, setting up through the JavaSea, and thenflit ided by the Island of Celebes—one branch passing through the Strait of Macassar, another through the Moluccapassage, while a thirdbranch passes to the south of New Ciuinea and the Louißiade, into the Southern Pacific.

I would remnrk, I have made no remarks upon the cases of the daal. All that has been said of tho cases of the other persons will in fact apply to the cases of it. Upon the verb I would remnrk, in both dialects there is no inflection or termination to designate its tense, number or person. To ascertain these, other considerations must be depended upon. There are many features of the verb to the student of these dialects deeply interesting. I will, ns with the pronouns, first give paradigms of the verb of each dialect, and then offer my remarks :MOODS. DOR. Inilicntive. Suitjunetiv V(n Infinitive.

An action will be expressed, but who did it, or how many, cannot be ascertained by anything attached to the verb. But the tense or the time of the action is not quite so indefinite. In the Ponape verb however, there is no special signs to mark the present and imperfect tense. Either of these may be indicated by the simple form, with or without its directives. Usually, however, it is done by some adverb of time, as ap, just now—ma\, before, &c. In the Ebon verb, tenses are distinctly marked as we have given. Tho sign for the paesent tense is ja, and the imperfect kar. These particles are usually used and always precede the verb. It is not unfrequently the case that the simple form of the verb is given, and then the time must be distinguished by some explanatory phrase. But usually these timeparticles are attached to the verb, and are very definite. The perfect tense of the Ebon verb has for its sign ar; it is always used; it precedes the verb. This tense of the Ponape verb is characterized by the particle er, or erear, from which er is supposed to be contracted. This particle, the contracted form er, follows tha verb, while erear often precedes it Some may choose to discard the perfect tense of the Ponape verb, and call it, or those forms to which er is attached, emphatic form of the imperfect. But this tense formed with er stands so closely related in idea to the perfect of the Ebon verb, I have ventured to give both, as if one was the equivalent of the other. A few remarks are needed upon tiie moods, upon which I should have remarked before I did upon the tenses. The indicative mood is to be learned from the tenor of the discourse. The subjunctive in Ebon is indicated by the particle elonge, if. In the Ponape, by me. In Ebon, the imj er.itivc has no particle to indicate it. In Ponape the particle en or un is thought to designate this mood. The infinitive of both languages is wanting in anything to mark it. It might be learned from the position of the verb in the sentence. It may be questioned whether the potential really belongs to either language. The auxiliaries, Un, can, Ponape, and maronge, can, Ebon, may be referred to the indicative. However, both dialects possess these auxiliaries, and it is a matter of mere choice where they are placed. Of the participle* only the present exists, and there is nothing to distinguish it. Its form is the simple form of the verb. The hiphhil, or causative form of the verb in both dialects, is a very interesting fact. v It is another marked feature >■' '- " two together, and t„„ "ajlta them both to pn|,,„ r„;.. me use ot this form of the verb is perhaps most frequent in the Ebon dialect. All verbs, or with but few exceptions, will readily prefix the causative particle. It is not so frequent in the language of Ponape, though fhcre it is an important feature of the verb. The pihel, or reduplicative, or intensive characteristic of the verb, is another interesting fact common to both languages. Perhaps it may be a little premature to thus characterize this as njorm of the verb. This reduplication of the verb, may come from another principle than its intensive character. Yet, as a fact, both languages present us with this interesting feature, namely, many of their verbs reduplicate themselves; and it seems to increase their power. Yet often the idea is so little intensified, it seems hardly to meet our rule. Longer study is required to test this, especially on Ebon. Verbal directives are beautiful features of each dialect, and remarkably similar. The principal directives of each are all easily referred to the same roots. La, from, and to, towards, pertain to the Ponape dialect. Lok, from, and thok, towards, to the Ebon language. These are most palpably from the same radices. And there are others as closely related. In both dialects these directives nre suffixed to the verb. ''' - .""' - _ KXAMFI.E. <Kwon-i-thok, \ You .

Perhaps all may not be so strikingly similar as the ones given above, yet between many there is much unity. And to the philological student these facts are not a little interesting. The facts I have thus far presented you of the grammar of these dialects must suffice for the present. There are some other features of the languages, had I time, I should like to present. In some respects, they more clearly establish the fact I have often referred to, the palpable unity of origin of the dialects, than anything I have said. Perhaps another year 1 may refer to them. The common origin of the tribes, or na- tions, is, you know, not more certainly established by any evidence than by their languages. An eminent English writer on the unity of races, speaking of languages, says: " A reasonable philologist makes similarity of language strong, very strong, prima facie evidence in favor of community of descent. When does it imply this, and when does it merely denote commercial or social intercourse ? We can measure the phenomena of language and exhibit the results numerically. Thus the per centage of words common to the languages may be, 1, 2, 3, 4, 98 and 99, or any intermediate number. We ask now what sort of words coincide, as well as how many. When the names of such objects as fire, water, sun moon, stars, hand, foot, tongue, tooth, See., agree, we draw an inference quite different from one which arises out of the precision of such words as enmti, fashion, quadrille, violin. Common sense distinguishes the words which are likely to be borrowed from one language into another, from tl>o«ti M'bich were originally common to the two." Another author 01 in. wh celebrity has said: "ofNothing could be inferred as to the relation two languages from their agreement in owe word,—that the odds are only three to two against their casual agreement in two! but that they rise so rapidly, that there are nearly 100,000 chances to one against their casual agreement in eight." With this view of the subject before us, as the reflection of profound minds, what shall we say of the relation of our two dialects as growing out of the words only which I havo given? If ei»ht words give 100,000chances for them against the agreement of two languages, what shall we say of the table I have furnished, when the words of both languages are so numerous, and refer to almost all the natural objects of life,—words that are the last to be introduced through commerce or the conqueror ? But this evidence of a unity, I view to be the weakest part of our argument, if one were needed, to prove the identity of which we speak. What shall we say of the whole grammatical structure of the two languages, with their nouns, possessing what inflectwn they do ; the same with their mode of distinguishing their number and gender, all alike ; with many of their numerals to be refered to the same radices, and the mode of enumeration strikingly similar; with the paradigms of the pronouns almost a unity with the verb, possessing the same number of moods and tenses ; with its hip/Ml or causative, and piel or reduplicative, or intensive form, with two, its directives, suffixed alike to the verb, and many to be referred to the same roots ? surely here is something more original, looking farther back into the source of things than any commercial origin, or the like could account for.

Most cordially we wish all our readers, on ship and shore, a happy New Year. May its beginning, progress and termination be alike happy. Not only may you he happy in the ordinary meaning of that term, but in its best and highest sense may you be happy. In order that you attain true and permanent happiness, study its nature, and ascertain upon what it is founded. True happiness is the result of enjoying God's favor and blessing. "Happy is that people," declares the Psalmist, " whose God is Jehovah." As in years past, so during the year to come, our aim will be to furnish our readers with a monthly sheet, useful and entertaining. Our principles are too well known to need an announcement in a new prospectus. This however will be our aim, to endeavor to lead or persuade our fellow men, and especially seamen, to live strictly in accordance with those physical, social, moral and religious laws which God has ordained for our well being and happiness. It is our duty to be temperate, truthful, honest, thoughtful, kind, neighborly, as well as to have our minds deeply imbued with that fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. Would you know, reader, how to live and act? Read Christ's sermon upon the Mount, and follow his example. Genius makes many enemies, but it sure friends—friends who forgive who endure long, who exact little. lS(iO. We learn that Judge Pratt contemplates visiting the United States during the coming spring and summer on account of his health. The friends of the Judge deeply sympathise with him that he should In? so much of a suf- \m J?trifs, M. 17. those in power would most anxiously seek to check the fearful decrease, and pride themse' -<*s upon their parental solicitude in behalf of the wasting children of Hawaii nei. Judging from the tenor of several leading articles of late appearing in the government organ, there is a measure to be brought forward at the next Legislature to legalize the manufacture of distilled spirits and its sale among the natives. The Polynesian has given thi' most unmistakable evidence where those stand who control that sheet. It remains to be seen where the true friends of the Hawaiian race and the public weal will take their stand.

The official duties of a United States Consul, in a port like Honolulu, are often very onerous and perplexing, requiring an intuitive perception of a knotty and delicate point whih is not unfrequently presented. Judge Pratt's decisions have been prompt and correct, and such as did not need revision. The case of the French sailor in the fall of '58, might be cited as an example. At times a little touch of the Jacksonian way of doing business is the best. It saves a world of trouble and official correspondence. Judge Pratt's manner ol dispatching business has not unfrequently reminded us of the way " Old Hickory" was accustomed to decide matters. Every one knowing the character of seamen is aware of the fact that, upon legal questions, shipmasters and sailors generally take opposite sides, yet we have known both classes to come from the Consul's office satisfied with his decisions.

The Cordelia was a good ship ; but at one time we feared that she was on her last voyage. We were but a few days out from the harbor, when a severe storm of five days' continuance overtook us. I must tell you of an act performed by a sailorboy, at the height of the storm. He was literally a boy, and far better fitted for thumbing a spelling book than furling a sail in a storm. The ship was rolling fearfully, some of the rigging got entangled at the main-mast head, and it was necessary that some one should go up and put it right. It was a perilous job. I was standing near the mate, and heard him order that boy to do it; he lifted his cap, and glanced at the swinging mast, the boiling seas, and at the steady, determined countenance of the mate. He hesitated in silence a moment; then, rushing across the deck, he pitched into the forecastle; perhaps he was gone two minutes, when he returned, laid his hand upon the ratlines, and went up with a will. My eyes followed him till my head was dizzy, when I turned and remonstrated with the mate for sending tho boy aloft, " He will not come down alive, and why do you send him?" "I did it," replied the mate, "to save life : we've sometimes lost men overboard, but never a boy : sec how he holds, like a squirrel; he is more careful; he'll come down safe, I hope." Again I looked till tears dimmed my eyes, and I was compelled to turn away, expecting every moment to catch a glimpse of his last fall. In about fifteen or twenty minutes he came down, and walked aft with a smile on his countenance. In the course of the day I took occasion to speak to him, and asked him why he hesitated when ordered aloft. "1 went, sir," said the boy, "to pray." "Do you pray ?" Yes, sir: I thought that I might not come "down alive, and I went to commit my soul to God." "Where did you learn to pray?" "At home ; my mother wanted me to go to the Sunday school, and my teacher urged me to pray to God to keep me, and so 1 do." was that you had in your pocket ?" " What My Testament, which my teacher gave me ; I thought if I did perish, I would have the Word of God close to my heart."— Child. Fr. " A Learned Shipmaster. Dr. Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass., in a work entitled, Hints addressed lo Young Men, published in 1544, gives the following sketch of an American shipmaster's acquisitions in the languages, and of his ability to defend the Christian religion. Such an example should arouse those to action who waste the leisure hours of long voyages in idle and listless sloth and gossip. No class of laboring men enjoy more leisure time for general reading than seamen, while a shipmaster is peculiarly favored with an opportunity for reading and study. Information, study, reading and observation are requisite to enable the shipmaster to take that stand which he ought to occupy. The more he knows, the better will JANUARY, 1860. he be fitted for his responsible duties. Shipowners do not supply their vessels as they should with books of travels, voyages, science and general literature. If the money, even now, paid to supply ships with rum, was spent for books, a most happy result would follow. Dr. Todd remarks as follows : " There is a sea-captain raised in New England, who sails from New York. He has been to sea constantly since he was ten years old. He is not only acquainted with the popular languages of Europe, French, Spanish, German, Danish and Dutch, with some other minor dialects, but is also a scholar in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Last winter this ' inhabitant of the mountain billow' held a public debate, four dliferent evenings in the city of Kotterdam, in the French and German languages, with a learned (Jew) Professor of Languages on the Divinity of the New Testament and Jesus Christ the Messiah of God ' the end of the law for righteousness to all that believe.' The Old Testament was read in its original ianguage; the New Testament was read in Greek; while the fidelity of the Protestant interpretation was shewn from the Prophecies in six different languages. The Professor acknowledged to the American Captains, 'Your countryman, the Captain, is better acquainted with the Old Testament than any man lever conversed with; and his knowledge of the Books of Moses, with the customs of our people, is scarcely equalled by any Jew in Kotterdam. Really, there are some things that he is better acquainted with, (having seen them practised on the coast of Africa by the Jews) which the laws of Holland, and indeed of all Christian Europe, and our sense of decency will not permit us to practice.' It was the report among the common Jews that 'the Captain was a Jew.' The Captain weekly attends, including English and the Synagogues, the worship of God in five different languages in this city. Ho says, I ' attend the Synagogue to hear their new German Keader, as an American or Englishman cannot read Hebrew with any probable degree of its original pronunciation.' He was asked what induced him to attempt an acquaintance with the Greek and Hebrew. He answered, 'when young, my mind was seriously impressed with the import and sublimity of the Christian religion; but my knowledge and delight in astronomy made me a skeptic in its reality and divinity, cantrary to all the internal evidence that forced itself on my soul, in conviction of sin, or joy of redemption. My mind was continually crowded by, il is impossible that God would take upon himself the likeness of human flesh to make an atonement for such a contemptible pebble as tlii-", the most inferior of all planets, (except the moon) when he is the adorable Creator of innumerable worlds of splendor, that excel in glory and magnitude our very sun ! I doubted all interpretations, and external evidence of every kind, I dared not venture upon. I was resolved to attempt the Greek. I surmounted its difficulties to my peace and satisfaction. Then I grappled Hebrew as for life and death, until I understood it sufficiently to removal of all my doubts, and establishment in the fullest confidence in the Divine Mission of Him who emphatically claims the appellation of Christ the Son of God, the Savior of the world." 3 THE FRIEND, POET'SCORNER.

It appears that towards the close ol the Revolution, the good people of North Church found it necessary to make some repairs. They sent on to Boston and purchased some nails, which in due course of time arrived, and upon opening the kegs, lo anil behold, one of them was found to contain Spanish dollars. "This was a go !" The Deacons assembled —held a consultation —and the result was, they wrote to Boston and informed the merchant who made the sale that there was an error in shipping the goods. The merchant, acting upon the principle of our banks at the present day, wrote back that he could rectify no mistakes —that the nails were bought and sold as they were. He bought them of a privateersman, and must let it stand as it was. The silver was melted up and made into a service of plate for the church, and it is in existence and use at the present day. The above was related to me by a gentleman, in whose family is a large goblet made from the same silver, and you may rest assured that what I have stated is a fact.—New Haven Register. Suicide of Prof. Ross at Halle.—The Vienna correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph says that Prof. Ross, the wellknown Hellenist and archaeologist, in a fit of mental depression, engendered by prolonged illness, committed suicide at Halle on the Bth ult. With all British scholars his name has been perfectly familiar for a long time past. His essays on the comparative geography of ancient and modern Greece have greatly contributed to the illustration of Hellenic history, while, in a number of learned dissertations on classical subjects, he not only evinced his profound acquaintance with compatriots of Plato and Xenophon, but in the rare sagacity and eloquence of his arguments, succeeded in exhibiting in his, own mental calibre the choicest qualities of the Athenian mind. �4 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, Iso THE FRIEND.

Thus it appears the young collegians are so eagertotry theirability in authorship,tbatthey issue a monthly. They see the battle of life approaching, and it well becomes them to try their weapons and buckle on their armor, in anticipation of the conflict. Among the editors of the Harvard Magazine, we notice the name of W. F. Snow, well known to many of our island readers. He was a pupil at Punahou, and like more of our youth who have studied there, reflects much credit upon the institution. He is now a member of die junior class. The leading article in the Magazine, upon education, is from the pen of the editor above mentioned. Our limits will merely allow us to copy the following eloquent paragraphs : Education also ibo'ild be such a development of the mind as will lead toactive effort. A man is not truly educated who has merely acquired a large amount of learning. He may bury himself in his library, and gain thereby a reputation for diligence and application, or he may flash out on society and be hailed as a brilliant genius ; but his diligence may be only in acquiring a mass of knowledge which shall lie forever useless, and bis brilliancy may be only the surface-glitter, where there is no depth. True education is a mighty power, by which vigorous thoughts are generated, new ideas disseminated, and one mind made the medium of influencing a multitude of others. The noblest life which an earnest man can lead is one of labor for the improvement and elevation of his fellows, It finds its pattern in the sublime life of Him who left the glory which he had with the Father before the world was, to visit for mercy and redemption the lost sons of men. It is for the education which will prepare him for such a life that the student should strive ; if he does not, it will be better for him and for mankind that he leave his books for the spade, and the recitation room for the field ; for in the halls of learning he is but usurping the place of some noble man. This view of education leads naturally to the consideration that, in the case of each individual, the plan of study and the system of instruction should be adopted with a view to his occupying, in the future, some definite position. We hold it to be a cardinal principle, in the organization of mankind, that each mdi vidual is created with a nature which especially adapts him for some particular pursuit in life. The workings of this special endowment are visible in very childhood. The young Newton carves sun-dials upon the walls of the manor-house at Woolsthorpe; Goethe spends in contemplation and romantic imaginings the hours which his companions devote to play. This predilection for particular studies" or employments, if encouraged and 0. we would acknowledge the receipt of yielded to, ripens into a strong ''evotion to them as the child advances towards man- the November number of the Hesperian nohood.

What i* known in the earlier days of California. We necessary in the earlier years of life is, that the employment of the laculties should be directed toward the good and away from the evil ; that perversion of them should be checked, and every good use of them encouraged. It is at this period that the elementary branches should be learned, and. as it is called, a " good common-school education" obtained. When, however, the time arrives at which his study must take a wider range, the utmost care should be exercised that the course of instruction slir.il be such as will best further the growth of tie: student's mind in its natural direction. Especially is this neces«rj in the case of a contemplated college course. The duty of fixing upon some decided aim in study devolves, of course, upon the student himself. If he is old enough to enter college, he is old enough to have determined upon thee nploymcnt which shall be the business of bis life. Any one who enters and passes through college without some definite purpose, loses very much that would otherwise turn to his profit. And when the student lias once settled his plan of life, he should hold it as the grand central point toward which every effort that he makes should hasten him. Unforeseen circumstances may, it must be admitted, modify this plan, or entirely prevent its accomplishment ; but, other than these, no obstacles should be allowed to dishearten him, no weariness or fickleness to make him waver. " For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed." Tut: New Knuland Maoa/.ink or Trade. Industry ami The July, August and September numbers of this new and interesting monthly have been received. It abounds with figures and facts, showing that Yankees are busily engaged in every department of mechanical industry and trade. The monthly list of new patents granted to New England Inventors shows that the inventive genius of the people is wide awake. In glancing over a list of real-estate improvements in Boston, for 1859, amounting to $2,011,500, we were much gratified to notice that among costly stores and dwelling-houses, two school-houses were erected, costing respectively, 810,000 and $70,000.

Private enterprise, in England and America, nobly seconded governmental expenditure. When it would seem as if not another "hook w;is left to hang a hope upon," then Lady Franklin determined to make one more effort. She alone was resolved to "try again."

The Erebus and Terror spent their first winter at Beachy Island, after having ascended Wellington "Channel to lat 72*' N., and returned by the west side of Cornwallis Island. On the 12th of September, 1846, they were beset in lat. SO* 3 05' N, and 95°23 W. Sir John Franldin died on the Wth of June, 1847. On the 22d of April, IS4B, the ships were abandoned five leagues to the N. N. W. of Point Victory, and the survivers, 105 in number, landed here under the command of Captain Crozier." This paper was dated April 25, 1848. On the following day they intended to start (or the Great Fish River. The total loss by deaths in the expedition up to this date was nine officers and fifteen men. was shortly afterwards found, conng, two human skeletons, and a large quantity of clothing. Five pocket watches, a quantity of silver spoons and forks, and a few religious books, were found, but no journals, pocket-books, or even names upon Rboat twice that time. When told that some sermons have taken their authors a week, and even a month, to write them, they seem amazed ! They think a minister has but little to do who prepares only two sermons a week, and preaches them on Sunday ! And they have no sympathy with the minister who says, " 1 am not prepared," when called to preach on a sudden emergency. They know all about physical labor, but nothing about mental. They know something about raising a heavy weight, but they know nothing about the construction of an argument, or the refutation of a popular and plausible error, or the placing of a controverted truth in a light which convinces all. In fine, the multitude have no conception of mental labor ; and hence people are so reckless as to the squandering of the time of their minister ! There are men of peculiar mental habits who can write a sermon in a very short time, having previously well digested the matter , of it. Such a one is the Rev. Dr. one of the best and most popular preachers of the Church. But ordinarily to write one good sermon a week, and meet faithfully his other duties, fills up the time of a pastor ; to write two, if they are worth hearing or worthy of himself, fills it to an overflow. And yet there are those who are never satisfied unless they are frequently visited, and who consider the minister is wasting his time when not abroad among his neople.-iV. Y. Observer. - ■*_T In closing our accounts for the year, wo find the Friend in debt, while last year there was a small balance in its favor. We hope this year for " better times," and that the hard times" me over. " Christmas, happy, merry Christimas, occurred this year on Suuday—unfortunately, as the young people will have it, and they are the only judges we will allow in the matter. Old Father Nicholas, however, managed to make hid appearance a day or two later than usual, choosing Little Britain, the residence of Capt. Luce, as the scene of his advent. On Tuesday evening, there was as happy a gathering of juveniles, young and old, as ever kept Christmas ; and a right merry time they bad. Little trinkets, dolls, and toys were scattered about with the utmost profusion, while the spirit of the " Wizaid" seem to appear in the group, and poked all sorts of fun and trieksat everybody.—/.
