S. Wales, June 21, 1859. Mr. Sturoes—Dear Sir :—You will doubtless bo startled when you receive this letter, it coming from one who, according to all probabilities, had left this world behind, to try the realities of the next; but an overruling Providence ordered it otherwise—l was spired to grapple again with the world, and a coldand selfish world 1 found it. After three years' suffering, and enduring everything but death, I was landed in Sydney on the 17th of July, 1856, broken down in health and with not clothing enough to cover my body, without money, and ill at the time. I was hurried off to the Infirmary, where I lay nine weeks, and after leaving there, it was five months before I was able to do a day's work. By this you will see that if ever poor mortal suffered it was myself; but enough of this at present, you shall have more of it before the wind-up," as the sailor would say. " Doubtless you have heard all the particulars of my leaving Raven's Island in company with a boat s crew for the purpose of going to Ascension to get assistance, as our ship had been wrecked, of which I suppose you know all the therefore 1 need not mention them, left my wife and fellow passengers Jan. 15th, 1854, with a light breeze, in hopes that we should light Ascension by sundown, but how often a sunshiny morning turns out a rainy day ; alas! it was so in our case, for about three o'clock the wind changed, and we headed within two points of our course. We continued on this course until dark, when the wind changed again and we were obliged to put the boat round on the other tack, which did not allow us to lay within six points of our course; to add to this, the night was very dark. The wind blowing a gale by this time, the sea was so rough that we were obliged to take in the sail, after which we driftedfor an hour. The gale increasing every moment, at last we thought it advisable to try to get back to Raven's Island ; we then put up sail and ran before the wind. It being thick and stormy and our boat running much faster than we hadany idea of, before we hove to, (which was about three o'clock the next morning.) by the time it was daylight, I think we had drifted by the Islands. It continued to blow all that day, and the weather so thick, that we could not take an observation until the next day, when we found ourselves forty miles to the leeward of Raven's Island, with a gale of wind and heavy sea against us. Well, we battled away with wind and waves for three days longer, and kept getting farther away, and no sign of the weather breaking. We then determined to make for a small group of islands called the Bordaliers, but we were doomed to be disappointed again ; the wind would not allow us to reach those islands, and we were obliged to land the seventh day after leaving Raven's Island. We landed about forty miles to the southward of the Bordalitrt, on a (mall island where there was a reticulars, one native could speak We were three days and nights at sea when we English. We took this as a guaranty that they came to four small islands, upon which we landwere not hostile natives. Being tired and worn ed, thanking God for a place to rest ourselves. out in the boat, we threw ourselves down to We landed in the night, and laid down on the rest; but our rest was of short duration, for no beach and slept until morning, when we made a party of native fishermen ; sooner than we had closed our eyes than the natives the work of murder; Capt. Brown received his death wound and died about an hour after the ali'ray, and it was only by fighting like demons that any of us were left to tell the tale. After we had succeeded in beating the natives off, we gained possession of our boat, but they had completely robbed us of all wo had except what was on our backs—boat-sail, chart, compass, and sextant, with our provisions, wero also taken. Wo only had our boat and oars to depend upon, and the wide ocean before us, with one man in the last agonies of death, and two moro severely wounded and lying in the bottom of the boat. Wo then put to sea, one to steer the boat and two to pull, poor Brown breathing his last, and two more that I did not expect to live any length of time. In the fight with the natives I only received one blow from them, which did not do much damage. I cannot tell how I escaped, for I was first and foremost, and in the thickest of it, the spears passed me in every direction. I did not think of trying to dodge their missiles, nor had I any fear, at the time, of being killed; all my fear that I recollect was, that they would get the boat and leave us no chance of escape. Two others and myself succeeded in saving the boat, and we left the island about three o'clock in the afternoon ; and about four the same afternoon we committed poor Brown's body to the deep. Thiß was the most trying scene in my life. Poor Brown had his reason until a few moments of his last breath; he talked at tiroes until he died. I had known Brown in New Zealand, but did not know anything respecting him or his wife and family until after he had received his death wound. He then told me that he had some difficulty with the wife's family, and that he had deserted wife and children and resolved to bury himself among the islands. He then told us how he had lived, and advised us all not to lead the life that he had led, for he said that he had sinned post re- hajpui demption. He had only a few moments to live, and that time was too short for him to make his peace with God. I then told him that I had read that Christ had died to save sinners, and quoted several passages of Scripture to him ; he then asked me to pray for him. This was a difficult task for me to perform, (one that had scarcely prayed for himself,) to be called upon by a dying man to pray. I was almost frightened to try, lest God should think it presumption, and in his wrath should strike me speechless, but being pressed by poor Brown I tried ; I prayed that poor B.s sins would be forgiven him ; I prayed also that my sins might be forgiven me, and I did not stop there, I prayed for all. After I had finished praying, Brown conversed for a little, then a young man that was one of the sailors on board of the ship, prayed; and I never heard a better prayer addressed to the Throne of Grace. This young man had been a member of the Methodist Church for five years before leaving home, but bad company had led him the wrong road; he had not however forgotten the right track when difficulty overtook him. After this prayer, Brown talked a little, and we advised him to try and pray for himself; but bis reply was, it was useless ; yet the poor fellow did pray, only a few words were distinctly heard by any of us. He died sitting upright between my knees, and the last words that the poor man uttered were these: God have mercy, God have mercy on my poor soul!" He then opened his eyes, and his whole countenance was changed; he looked quite calm, and if one might judge, I should say that poor Brown had made his peace with God. He then looked around and leaned his head over on my lap and died. We buried him as I before stated, than we recommended ourselves to Almighty God, and got out of sight of theland as soon as we could. " of the island, and we found that it hud been inhabited. There were about twenty native houses and several large canoe-sheds, but i no natives. Tho island abounded with breadfruit, cocoanuts, taro, and bananas ; it was like- | survey ' wise swarming with chickens. My trapping boy, was a great help to us now, for the chickens were us wild as hawks ;so I sat about making some traps, and that day we sat down to the sweetest meal I think that any of us sat down to in our lifetime, for we had only fifteen small biscuits between five of us for four days. We rented ourselves for several days, and then made a survey of the other two islands, where we found two natives, who gave us to understand that the people had gone to an island to the eastward, and would return again as soon as the breadfruit camo in again. We then set about getting something to make a sail; therefore we had to set our wits to work, and find something that would answer the purpose, und what do you think it was? I am sure that you would never guess, so I will tell you —it was the thin webbing that supports the limb of the cocoanut tree. You often see plenty of it on your walks in Ascension. I think that we had to destroy about a hundred of these trees to procure enough to complete a sail for our boat. Our' sail was made something after the style of a patch-work quilt. We had to make it three-double, and etitili it through and through. There was nota single piece in thesail more than eight inches square, so you will see that this was work in earnest. We just gut it done in time, for the natives came back and we were obliged to trust ourselves upon the sea again, and this apology of a sail carried us nine hundred miles in twenty-one days, arid the first seven days at sea I think were as heavy weather as ever I witnessed in all my time at tea, but no accident happened to us. We subsisted on one cocoanut and half a pint of water each man per day. We left the Caroline Group on the 24th of February, and landed on Sir Charles Hardy's Island on the 20th of March, which made us twenty-one days and twenty-two nights on the water. By this time we were nearly done up, as they would say in my country. Our cocoanuts were nearly gone, and our water all gone, and this being the first land we had seen, we resolved to go ashore, for we knew in a short time we must perish at sea, or land and be murdered by the savages, and we chose the latter. We recommended ourselves to the care of Almighty God, and put our boat before the wind, and went ashore amongst the thickest of the natives. We fully expected to be murdered, but were happily disappointed, for instead of falling into the hands of the Philistines, we fell into the bands of the good Samaritans, who took us in and fed us, and I shall always remember them with gratitude for theirkindness to me and my fellow sufferers. These natives had never seen the face of a civilized man before ; they had never seen an article of European manufacture before; a kind Providence cast us on these shores. They stripped us of our clothing, tore the garments in pieces, and divided them among the people ; some had a trousers leg, others had a shirt sleeve, and others a piece as large as your hand, until it was all disposed of, and all theso pieces were preserved as precious relics. The next ordeal was an operation that I was not at all partial to, that was, the process of shaving; but they soon whipped the hair off of our heads and the beard from our faces. Their razors were in a bad condition, and where they shaved close they took skin and all, so that I decided they were bad barbers. Well, the next process was to oil and paint us, and dress us after the fashion of the island. We were then as comical a looking set of fellows as you would see in a long march, painted red from the top of the head down to the hips, and a piece of bark, man- < when a �THE ufactured into a kind of tapa, which they girded around our loins; hung strings of whales'teeth around our necks, with sharks' teeth, in strings, around our arms, and a head-dress whi'di in U-yond my power to describe. I never saw but one thing that I could compare this head-dress to, and that is, an old hawk's nest it was composed of sticks, feathers, gross and leaves, and this completed the dress. Five more ridiculouslooking objects could not, in my opinion, have been found in this world. 1 am suro there never were five sadder hearts than ours; wo could not understand a word of their talk, and could not tell what they intended to do with us, but we soon discovered that it was all in kindness to us, ; for we were allowed to walk about as we pleased, and the best that was in the land was placed before us: but we were not allowed long to enjoy it, for the exposure so long in the boat, and a change of diet, soon brought us to the verge of the grave. We were all taken ill about the same time ; two of our number died the two following months after landing ; two of us recovered, but the other poor fellow did not, but gradually declined until the 15th of January, 1856. f was unconscious of everything for fourteen days. Previous to my sickness I had kept the day of the month by a string around my neck, and for every day I tied a knot; whilst I was ill another kept the time, and by this means we knew the day of the month. 1 had forgotten to tell you that they broke up our boat for the purpose of getting the nails and iron work, which was converted by us afterward into chisels and choppers, which they found very useful, for previously they used bones and shells for cutting purposes. Nothing transpired on the island worthy of notwfrom the 10th of May, 1854, up to the 12th of January, 1856, when 1 left the island in a canoe, in company with a native boy ; the other white man that was well and hearty, had agreed to accompany me, but when the time came for leaving he was too much of a coward to trust himself to Old Neptune; and the other poor fellow was too weak to accompany me, although he begged hard to do so. The natives tried to persuade me to give it up, but I had got the King's consent, and he had given me one ofhis canoes, and I knew that this was the only plan to regain my liberty; and if God seconded my endeavors, I should in time reach a civilized country. The poor fellow that begged so hard to accompany me, died the next day after I left the island. Well, I must tire your patience a few moments longer by tracing me through what people call my mad adventure. I left the island about eight o'clock in the morning, with a light wind. I had a sail, and the little canoe skipped along over Old Ocean"s billows like a thing of life ; but bow often a sunshiny morning turns out a rainy day—it was so in this case. About three o'clock in the afternoon it became very squally, our little bark was upset, we lost our sail and all of our provisions except seven cocoanuts and two pints of water. The native boy and myself drifted by the side of the canoe, retaining each a paddle and bailer, until sundown, when the wind fell and the sea, in an hour's time, was as placid as a duck pond. We then commenced paddling our course to the southward, and on the 19th of January we made land, and landed on the 20th, at sunrise. We made this passage with seven cocoanuts and two pints of water between the two of us. This was the toughest time I ever had, for I had nothing to shield me from the sun ; I was literary blistered from head to foot, and at times quite delirious. It would be tedious to relate all the particulars that occurred when I landed among this strange people, but suffice it to say, that after a few native pranks in order to frighten me, they used me better, if anything, than those that I had just left. These poor natives had never seen a white man before, but they had heard of white men through one native who bad drifted out to sea in company with five others that perished, and this one was saved by an English trading �mml, aad was on board of different vessels for r It [l. \ I) . . \ 0 It: >1 B L X 1860. 83 two years and a half.

They were all in comfortable health, although Mr. and Mrs. Bingham were looking somewhat worn by their labors. Mr. Bingham was much pleased to find that I had brought his long looked for sail boat, which had been ordered from Boston, and with which he intends to visit the neighboring islands, and thus extend his missionary operations.

Four days after, the oaptain went on board the bark Delaware, Capt Keneworthy, who kindly landed him at Ayan on the 19th of June,where be remained until the 16th of September, being unwell most of the time, and from thenoe took passage to the islands on board the ship Onward, Capt.

The entranoe to the lagoon at this island is on the west side, about five miles north of the southwest point, and is marked by a blue water channel, which is deep and safe about 1 ofa mils wide, and three fathoms of water may be found on the reef anywhere within half a mile north of it The Mornint; Star has been gladly welcomed by both the chiefs and people of all the islands and groups we have visited, and so far from her being iv danger among these savage tribes, I am conlideut they would willingly take up arms in her defense.

My intercourse with the missionaries lias uniformly been of a pleasant character during the voyage, and I would here express my gratitude for the many kindnesses I have received at their hands.

Ocean." We copy this remurk from the letter of the Rev. A. A. Sturgos, the Missionary at Ascension, from whose vnluahle correspondence we make so many extracts. He furnishes the following as two very good illustrations of this remark, " What a mystery of crime is this Pacific Ocean." Prominent among the passengers of the Sarah Morse was an elderly woman, going by the name of " Ross," who was said to have in her keeping some $70,000 in gold. Her " man" was set ashore on a small island, in the South Pacific, by the Captain. The reason given for the deed was, that he quarreled with his wife. The passengers thought it was that be might possess himself of the money ; he had not got possession when he left here. Mrs. Lozee writes from Hongkong, that Ross finally got away from the prison where he was left, and went to California, but not finding Captain Woodberry there, went to Hongkong, met him in the street and shot him dead ! Capt Brown, of whom Mr. Lozee speaks, was the Brown of Strong's Island, of whom you have doubtless heard. He left his ship there in 1853, tried to form a settlement at the South harbor, and being drivPh off by order of the king, put to sea in a whale boat with 27 souls on board, a good lot of Strong's Island girls in the company. He started to come to Ascension, but on renching McAskills, he landed, spent some time there, (as we afterwards learned, when we were there in Jan. 1855,) and then went to Raven's Islands, where he was. when the Sarah Morse went ashore. (Brown was the pilot.) A Captain who was in at Strong's Island with Captain Brown, has since told me that he, 8,. killed one of his men, and _hnd another under water almost dead, when he and others went to the rescue ! Brown was a desperate man, and fearful was his end ; perhaps however, like the thief on the Cross, he found mercy at the last hour, but no one will venture in his footsteps, hoping to escape merited punishment by a death bed repentance. What a mystery of crinfc is this Pacific! When the sea shall give up its dead, what revelations of guilt, till then unknown to the civilized world ! How many who have been honored as dying with no stain upon their name, will rise to judgment with shame and everlasting confusion upon their faces! But there is a change coming—the abundance of the seas shall all be converted to the Lord ; and how changed this world will be ! how delightful to live in those days, and how more delightful to help to bring them on! We long to see the groups to the westward ; the time is not far distant when the savages there will learn to treat poor sailors cast ashore among them, a little better than they treated our friend Lozee. What a shame that some of our government vessels, rotting out at such places as Honolulu, don't look in upon these lone spots to see if they can't find some good to do. in the — Yours, A. A. Stutiges. Washington National Monument. We are glad to learn that this monument is still rising, for when finished it will be a permanent and enduring testimonial to the Father of his Country. The purchase of Mount Vernon, and the erection of this monument, are two enterprises worthy of the cordial support of every American citizen, If the ladies are responat home or abroad sible for the purchase of the former, surely the gentlemen ought not to allow the cause ol the other to languish. We learn that J. Fuller, Esq., has been nppointed by the National Monument So" ciety," at Washington, to solicit subscriptions to the fund. Who that may lay claim to the title of American citizen, will not give one dollar, to be enrolled as a member of said society ? Let the necessary steps be taken, and we are confident a long list oL subscribers might be received. Can any one inform us whether any block of coral, or lava, has been sent forward, to form an integral portion of that monument ? It is surely becoming that the Land of the Kamehamehas should be represented in a monument to Washington ! If the sword of a Washington won for his country and people political liberty, it may be recorded to the everlasting honor of a Kamehameha, that lie gave both civil and political liberty to his subjects, without unsheathing his sivord. The Rev. C. Van Rensselaer.—In the late New York Observer, Independent, and some of the secular as well as all the religious American papers, we notice obituaries and eulogies upon the late Rev. Cortlandt Van Rensslaer, D. D., of Philadelphia. At the time of his death he was editor of the Presbyterian Magazine, and Secretary of the Board of Education of the Presbyterian Church. It was our privilege to have been honored with the acquaintance of this gentleman, long before he became so widely known and extensively useful. At the period to which we allude, 1838-9, he was Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Burlington city, New Jersey; and as we were teaching a private school in that city, he invited us to superintend the Sabbath School of his church. Being thus brought into the most intimate connection with him, we can testify that the eulogistic remarks which we have read, are not exaggerated. He was a rare man, and combined those traits which elevated him to a highly enviable position among the clergy of America. As the son of the Patroon of �TUG I" II I H D Albany, he inherited a fortune, but that was employed in a way and manner calculated to benefit his fellow men. In all the social relations and public positions of life, he evinced a spirit of enlarged benevolence and conscientious regard for the Church of Christ. He was most emphatically a model Christian gentleman and divine, beloved by not only Presbyterians, but the members of nil other denominations. If any changes should be permanently and finally made by the U. S. Government, in providing for seamen entitled to its protection and support, we hope this may be one, viz., that those seamen who do not re- quire medical aid, but merely board and lodging, should be sent to the Sailor's Home. Seamen (the same ns other persons) who are in health, have an instinctive repugnance to boarding and lodging among the sick at an hospital, however comfortable, clean and wellconducted that hospital may be. There has been frequent complaint among shipwrecked and distressed seamen upon this very point. The Sailor's Home is the proper place for such persons, and it is for the interest of the seafaring community to sustain the Home, and surely the U. S. Government ought to do its part, the same as the British Government is now doing, It does not fall to our lot to make official reports of the progress of Royalty, in its to other islands, but during the stay Queen and her party at Hanelei, we id to learn from a correspondent, that frequented the House of God upon the th.

At 7 o'clock in the morning the pilot came on board and took the ship into port. The ship had then some live feet of water, but not being able to extinguish the fire, three two-inch auger holes were bored below the water line on the starboard side, and the ship soon had nine feet of water in the hold. The hatches were then taken off, and men sent below with buckets of water, put out the fire. It was found to be to the lower hold abaft the fore hatch, and had been kindled with a barrel or pitch and old shooking, both of whichhad been taken from betweer decks, as the pitch had been stowed there the day previous. The ship was pumped and baled out in thirteen hours. The lower deck beams, cariine and ceiling were badly charred, and the foremast burnt some. No proof could be found against any of the crew, although two of the crew are suspected of being the incendiaries. On the 26th June,while trying to make a harbor during a N.E. gale, under double-reefed topsail and fore topmast staysail, steering and dodging the ice, which waa thickand heavy, a strong current round the point set the ship on to a sunken rock, which she struck very hard. She was fast nearly six hours, having at low tide only Aye inches of water under her bows, and five fathoms under the stern. On rise of the tide, made sail into the harbor, and came to anchor with 42 inches of water in the hold ; in five hours pumping freed the ship; we found that she was making 15 inches of water per hour; kept the pumps almost constantly going; made a box-pump, and after much trouble in getting clear of the ice, sailed for Ayan, where we arrived on the 6th of July, and warped into the inner harbor. There being no facilities to heave down the ship, and as it was not prudent to start while she was leakingat the rate of 36,000 to 38,000 strokes in 24 hours, we discharged the cargo and hauled the ship up on the beach at low water. Found the false keel was gone, about 20 feet stem and keel badly split and chafed to pieces, copperand sheathing gone from the keel, say from 10 to 12 feet, gariward streaks open on both sides an far as the keel was split. We went to work on the repairs by digging under the keel—a difficult operation with unsuitable tools, and one tide in 24 hours—and succeeded in building a box over the scar, with tared blankets and pine plank. On the 21st of July we hauled tne ship off to an anchorage, and found her comparatively tight; re-loaded and sailed July 31. Steered to the S.E., and fell in with thick fogs and N.E. gales ; saw whales between the main and Sugar l*>af Island. Came to anchor 7th August; Ht slack water, took the anchors again and stood to theNorth ; made the heads of N.E. harbor, went in and let go the best bower; before the ship brought up, parted the chain, and lost 48 fathoms and the anchor. Thinking it not prudent to cruise where we were obliged occasionally to anchor, got under way and went to the eastward. In a dense fog, while the crew were aloft reducing sail, came in contact with bark Jeannettc, Winslow, carried away his fly jib-boom,swunground on his starboard side, taking his starboardbow boat we suppose, from thecracking noise heard ; lost fly-jib and rent the foresail.'' £T Snip Onward left Sandwich Islands March 28th, had a pleasant passage up to the Kurile Islands, passed through the 48 passage on the 26th of April ; saw the first ice on the 27th, In lat. 61° N., long. 160° E., where we entered the ice and worked through to the lat. of 66° 20, and long, of 144° 8., where we saw our first whale on the 9th of May ; found the ice compactand heavy off JonasIsland, which lasted until the28th rugged of June ; the weather up to this time was unusually with fog and rain most of the time, and a number vt strong gales shy whales and those and from N.

Theweather in the Bays has been unusually rugged this year,worse than I ever experienced it before, thick fog andrain with frequent N. K. gales and very few whalesand those very wild. The ships as a generalthing have done very poorly, owing to theunusual amount of bad weather, which also has caused the loss of a greatnumberof anchors and chains,and other damages, such as ships coming in collision, etc., etc. Therehas also been some loss of life—the Levi Btarbuck lost third officer and a whole boat's crew, while laying by a whale In a N.

End of Volume XVII. This number closes another volume of The Friend. Contributors to its columns, and for its pecuniary support, will please accept our sincere thanks. Those who have read our paper and done nothing whatever for its support, we shall leave to their own reflections, hoping, however, that during the coming year they mayfind something in the columns of the Friend, which may lead their minds in an opposite direction. We are frequently receiving testimonials that our little sheet is doing some good. It is encouraging to learn that when ships meet at sea, the question is asked, " Haveyou any Friends ?" And when vessels visit remote islands of the Pacific, the solitary resident eagerly inquires for the Friend. Encouraged by past success, we shall endeavor to keep steadily forward in the even tenor of our way, during the coming year. The following will show that our prospects are good. A New Subscriber Paying in Advance.— Newspaper publishers often boast of their success when commencing a new volume, if a long list of new subscribers enroll their names. But we defy the world to produce a subscriber more worthy of newspaper immortality, than one who has forwarded us his name, and had he not marked his letter " confidential," our readers should be made acquainted with his name and residence. We met the man at tho door of our sanctum, unloading from his pack-horse two very nice bunches of Chinese bananas. On leaving he passed over a letter, from which we quote as follows: " You will herewith receive two bunches of Chinese bananas. Such bunches 1 sell for 62J cents each About the time I you a large bunch worth 75 89 {©Ifc Series, M. 17. Naval.H. B.

We solicited his name, but he positively declined giving it, merely adding, " I am your debtor." The London Illustrated News says that the Rev.

We do not suppose any ore imagined that the receipts would have exceeded a thousand dollars ; hence the agreeable surprise, when informed that they amounted to $1617. This contribution to the funds of the Hospital is very timely, as the Trustees arc now fitting up the New Hospital building. The new edifice is very imposing and handsome, and when the adjoining grounds arc laid out, the whole affair will be highly creditable to tho taste of tho architect, Mr. Ucuck, and the generosity of the Honolulu public.

Dear Sms:—Suffer us, the Missionaries of the Micronesia Mission, to come to you with a plea for help in the great work in which we are engaged. In this you can render us very important aid by suppressing that gross licentiousness, the practice of which is so common on very many of the vessels which touch at our several islands. We plead for your aid, in view of the preservation of the native population of these islands. You are not aware, perhaps, how vast has been the ruin, in consequence of this wickedness, to some of the islands of Micronesia, and of contiguous seas. It has, we believe, been more injudicious, more destructive than cannibalism, infanticide—than civil wars, or than some of the epidemics which have swept over them ; for here has been planted a virus not only in individual systems, but, on some islands, among the mass of the people, which though slowly, yet most assuredly, is doing its sad work. It seals up the fountains of life and death and desolation reigns. Much of the decrease of population on the Sandwich Islands, and on many of the South Sea Islands, has, without a doubt, been in consequence of that foul disease which the early discoverers of these islands planted in the systems, individual and social, of the unsuspecting natives. It is this evil which, at this very day, most affects Ponape, (Ascension Island, Pacific Ocean.) There is but the shadow for hope that her population can sustain its own, if they do not all, in half a century's time, pass away. And on beautiful Kusaie, or Strong's Island—oh! we weep as we write it—the work of destruction has been most fearful. The Missionary there stationed finds a fearful annual decrease. This island, when discovered in 1804, possessed a population of from three to five thousand;—less than eight hundred now remain! and the fact cannot be questioned, that this rapid depopulation is the result, to a very great extent, of this very wickedness of which we speak. This wickedness still continues. Not a few ships enter the harbors of our islands to recruit. In many an instance the bid is made for women—the vessel is soon supplied—and for the few days or weeks she may lie there, lust reigns. Now, add to the wickedness of this vessel tenfold, and what must be the result, we ask you, upon our native population? Over some of the Gilbert and Marshall Islands the stream of death and destruction has already begun to roll. We plead with you in behalf of the 50,000 heathen of these islands, to aid in arresting its progress. We plead for your assistance still further : This wickedness interferes most sadly with our missionary work. You can hardly know what an obstacle it has cast in our way. Creating as it has such a large demand for native women and native girls, our schools have been at times quite broken up, our Sabbath congregations have been taken from us, and our missionary work been all disarranged. Must we have the prejudices of a heathen 1860. people not only to contend with, but this foreign wickedness ? It tasks all our powers to elevate a people from the moral darkness in which for ages they have enveloped themselves ; but must our work be retarded also by this evil from abroad ? You surely cannot but feel that the existence of such an evil must anywhere be a barrier to the progress of religion and virtue. But how much more must it be so in a heathen land, among such people, where among themselves virtue is hardly known, and too where love of gain will lead them to part with all they possess to secure the little they can. We ask for what we do in view of the worth and beauty of virtue. The plague spot is loathsome, and he is abhorred who is smitten with it; but how much more loathsome is this public prostitution of so many ships, from forecastle to cabin ! There are those to whom in your eyes virtue lends much beauty—to your mothers, your sisters, your wives, and other dear ones, it gives a worth inestimable. How would you weep as a beloved sister should be led astray! What scalding tears would gush from your eyes were you to see your parental home the rendezvous of shameless harlots, your own beloved mother the leader of them all ? But if, in these dear ones, virtue possesses such a beauty and worth, may we not expect it will be sufficiently attractive to you in all climes, among all people, leading you at least to exert, as far as you can, an influence which should beget there the same beauty and moral excellency ? And we plead with you as we do by the worth of these immortal souls. Ah, yes, these heathen souls are immortal. True, brutes they live, " Like Like brutes they die," but such is not their end. As dark as are their minds, as wicked as are their hearts, their sins are not the sins of a brute, a dumb, irrational animal. Well for them would it be were it so, or were they innocent. Like us, they possess souls, and like us by God will they be judged. And shall now a single heathen soul have its gloom in the other world at all increased by any want of effort on your part ? With many of you, dear sirs, we feel constrained to plead for what we do, by the worth of your own souls, and by the great day of final reckoning. ye know, that no whoremonger, nor " Thisperson, unclean hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." " Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." "The fearful, and murderers, and whoremongers shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone ; without are whoremongers, and murderers, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." Will such of you as cannot deny your participation in this sin dare the vengeance of God by continuing in or countenancing it? And think not that this sin is not seen by Him among these benighted islands. Here, as in all places, "all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him with whom we have death in so many instances, unless you shall seek for measures that your vessels may, in some sense, become almoners of mercy to these benighted islanders—not scourges, not destroyers ? Can a man knowingly own shares in a piratical or slave-stealing ship, and not be implicated in the sin of that vessel ? Can you fit out your ships and send them to cruise among these islands, knowing so well as you do how extensively this wickedness is carried on, without doing all in your power to suppress it? Can you as stockholders be absolved from participation in this guilt, except by earnest and decided endeavors to suppress it? And to you, captains, we appeal, since we feel that you, more than any others, are responsible for the permission of shipboard licentiousness. When you lay off and on our islands, or enter the harbors, it is as you say whether women shall be allowed aboard. You are the commander. Your word is absolute law. But speak with that authority you use when your ship is battling with a storm, and your decks are stainless. We know well the apology often urged— that the thing must be done in order to secure your supplies, and to keep your men contented. But we know, however, that there are many captains (to whom be all commendation) who do get their supplies without allowing the evil; and from our knowledge of native character, we know that the thing is wholly unnecessary. Again, then, we repeat it, it is, or is not, according as you shall say. We beg of you to suppress it, to forbid it on your own ships, and to lend your influence in removing it from others, and in banishing licentiousness in all its forms from these islands. And to you, officers and seamen, we appeal. Remember that shipowners and captains may forbid the open practice of this sin on their ships, but without your hearty co-operation the dreadful effects will be but partially removed. We wish all whom we have addressed to feel that this appeal has been made with no other feelings than those of the kindest towards yourselves. We could not witness the evil longer without thus pleading with you. We have felt it to be our duty. With many of you as captains and officers and seamen, we are more or less acquainted. You who are captains have often bestowed favors, either in the gift of some valuable article, or have brought us our goods and mails—all as exhibiting your kind feelings towards us. And this kindness we have ever appreciated, and for it would be ever,grateful. We love you all, and desire your temporal and eternal welfare. But then we wish you all to feel that all your kind favors to us, and our good wishes to yourselves, must not seal our lips or chain our pens from seeking to enlist your conscience, sympathies, and assistance against this sin. Did it do so, we should be most recreant to our duty to these natives, to yourselves, and to our Master. We stand here as the friends of these benighted ones. Were there a pestilence raging, cutting to do." down one and other, and threatening to desTo owners of vessels we appeal. Can you troy all the population —and did we possess allow your ships to sail these seas, bringing means to check it, and yet used them not, to you great wealth, but to these islanders but let tho disease rage, would you not call �91 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1860. us hypocritial, heartless missionaries. And shall we not lift up our voices against the pestilence of which we have been speaking? We are, dear sirs, Very truly yours, E. T. Doane, A. A. Sturges, B. G. Snow, L. H. Gulick, E. P. Roberts, Hiram Bingham, jr. Missionary Correspondence. Ebon, August 9, 1860. Rev. S. C. Damon— Dear Sir: —We are glad to hail you once more from Ebon. The Morning Star arrived here July 4th—day of hallowed associations—delivered us our Friends and mail. And as in a few days we are looking for her from the west, bound Honoluluwards, we will send you our word of good cheer and friendly greeting. You will be anxious to hear how the past year has been with us. We answer—it has been one of trial and of joy. The little invalid we had with us the fore part of last year has left us for his higher, better and holier home in heaven. You remember the sickness of our second son, S. W. Wood. As the M. S. left us last year, taking away our beloved physician," we thought the little invalid would outgrow his sickness—scrofula, or tuberculous formation on the brain—but were deceived. From some slightly exciting causes, he was taken again suddenly, March 24, and on the 25th fell asleep in death. His departure was sudden. And we wept over it, but in the strong consolation that it was well with the child. Our dear friends, Dr. and T. Gulick were ready with all their " aid and sympathy to comfort. They helped us make the little house for the dead one, and lay him in it. And little Wattie and Fanny and Katy came with sweet flowers and green leaves and strewed them over the helpless form of theirlittle Ebon cousin; and then, after some consoling thoughts from our good brother, the Doctor, on the doctrine of the resurrection, we closed the door of that little house, with its precious form and sweet flowers and green leaves, all soon to wither and moulder away to their mother earth, and bore it away to the grave justaround the corner of our house, in the garden. We felt as though we wanted it near, that we might keep it sacred from any of our evilly-disposed natives. Its little spirit, we felt, would be a messenger of mercy, and we wanted the little form near. No bitter tears for thee be shed, " Blossom of being seen and gone ! " With flowers alone we strew thy bed, O blessed departed one— Whose alt of life a rosy ray, Blush'd into dawn and passed away Oh ! hadst thou still on earth remained, Vision ofbeauty, fair as bright ! How soon thy brightness had been stained With passion or with grief! Now not a sullying breath can rise To dim thy glory in the skies." The death of this dear one has been our trial. Our joy has been as deep. A little daughter has taken the place of that son. And we have been all immersed in our missionary work. During every Sabbath of the year— save the one on which our dear one died— we have preached; have had congregations varying from fifty to two hundred and fifty. And we have been heard with respectful attention; some of our meetings have been enlivened by occasional episodes. At times when I have been pressing home the duty of loving the blessed Savior, and the Father of us all, some chief has called out, "that they did"—"there was but one word between us, they did as we taught." I had 'to tell them they were mistaken—they knew not their own hearts. We have closed our meetings with a Sabbath school of some thirty or forty children. After the morning service, have sailed to another islet north of Ebon—have met a congregation varying from fifty to seventy-five ; and here too have had a Sabbath School of thirty children. During the week, the fore part of the year, we were getting up our primer, a copy of which I send you—all done by our own missionary hands; and also our hymns and translations of some of the Gospels; we have also made, or partly prepared, a Reader of Scripture Lessons and a small Catechism. Some three or four months since we made an attempt to revive our day-school, which now numbers thirty scholars—children, young persons, men and women, and some young married persons. We feel our scholars are making progress in reading and slatewriting, and reciting from a large mural map. We sing too a little—and we hope to raise up some fine singers in time. Our school, we trust, will now get such an impetus that no obstacle will again stop it. We mean, God blessing our labors, to keep it agoing till some portion of this people become a Biblereading people. And we hope the present day-school of Ebon, kept some two and a half hours each day, is only the beginning of greater things for these Marshall Islanders— only the first life pulsations of that larger system of instruction, the academy or the college. We trust, at least, the school-door, and so too the church-door, will never be closed from this time forth on Ebon. These are some of the duties to which we have given ourselves. And I need not say how delightful they have been—l at least have never found purer joy in my short life. Our island has been the scene of some activity in oil-making, and some eight separate ships have touched at our island; the most have lain by for a day or so getting cocoanuts and other trade from the natives. December 24, 1860, ship Chandler Price, Holcomb, took two whales near by us, making some eighty barrels; April 22, 1860, ship Marengo, F. A. Wells, 8 months from home via New Zealand, had 400 wh and 300 sp, bound north to Japan Seas. January 22, to the work with a right good will, and the result is, a fine building already enclosed, with many hands and cheerful hearts zealously at work, hoping to get it completed before the rainy season. Had not Mr. Sayer taken the matter in hand just when and as he did, the work would have fallen through. All praise is due to him for not only taking the decisive step so promptly, but he is also giving up his whole time and attention to it. Again the sum subscribed is somewhere between $700 and $800—quite insufficient for the building being erected—but considerable labor hasbeen given, and more it is hoped will be, otherwise such a neat, pretty building could not be put up, as it bids fair to be. A liberal subscription has been obtained from all but two or three who have been solicited—in fact many who have never been seen at pub lie worship in Makawao, have given beyond all expectation, and quite up to their means, besides many of them say if you are pilikia, coming short of funds in"the end, we will give a little more labor." The pride and interest that is felt by that class ofpeople is a matter ofrejoicing, as it will be pretty sure to bring them out to listen to the Gospel truths, when other means adopted heretofore have failed, and it is to be hoped this is but the beginning of a new era about to dawn upon us. Respectfully yours, A PERSON ON THE SPOT. Idea of a Ship.—A ship is the most ingenious and mighty fabric which human hands have ever wrought. Nothing else is half so strong, neither pyramids, nor temples, nor cathedrals of stone, which, before printing, gave opportunity for the human heart to express itself, gave forth the thoughts, and the sublimest feelings and aspirations of the greatest thinkers. There is not one of these things that does not easily fall to pieces. They can be moved by earthquakes as easily as the seed globe of a dandelion by winds that puff at it. But a ship caught by the winds, and tossed about like a ball is unharmed. It is smitten and whirled. It is rocked on waves as a cradle is rocked by a mother's foot. It rears up like a frightened steed. It plunges again like a war horse in battle. But though winds chase it, and storms reach out black hands after it, and waves forever beat it, and it must needs roll and plunge, it seeks its centre again, and comes upright the moment the airy hands let go.

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER 1, 1860. ty In our columns will be found a candid, calm and earnest letter, signed by all the Micronesian Missionaries, and addressed to shipowners and those engaged in navigating vessels touching at those islands. We commend this letter to the candid perusal of our readers, fully believing that it will commend itself to their good sense and their better feelings. That such an appeal should be necessary, is a Bad and melancholly fact. Most truly do wo sympathise with the Missionaries who are called to witness the ravages of the loathsome disease, which, alas ! has spread its blighting effects elsewhere than among tho natives of Micronesia. If in our power we can do any tlnug to arrest the terrible curse, we are ready to do it, but we must In' allowed to exercise our own judgment as to tho best manner of doing it. An editormay sometimes know what will favor a moral reformation as well u& an occasional writer for the public. Different minds may take op-< posite views of a subject, because occupying different stand-points; hence it ill becomes one to censure another. We have heretofore received letters upon the subject treated of in this appeal, but have declined publishing the same, because, in our opinion, they were not calculated to do good, and because we have done so, the taunting question has been asked, " Where is your conscience?" In dealing with this, as with other moral evils, we havo striven to act fully up to our duty in conducting a paper occupying a peculiar field. The old maxim of the courts will apply to this subject, when writers undertake to deal in personalities, "Better that ten guilty ones escape, than that an innocent one shall suffer." Dr. Gulick's Lectures.— He has delivered three lectures upon Micronesia, two at Fort Street Church, and one at the Bethel. They have been published in the Polynesian. Most sincerely do we regret that any circumstances should have occurred which led him to discontinue these lectures, for during his residence on Ascension and Ebon, he has collected a fund of linguistical, ethnographical, scientific and general information, which is admirably adopted to render interesting a course of popular lectures. Gold and Poetry. Poets do not enjoy tho reputation j)f being overburdened with gold. What appears very remarkable, a poetical contributor to our columns, accompanies his communication with gold ! In this instance, we shall be compelled to disregard the rule, which generally is in force, that no " attention will be paid to anonymous writers." Wo hope the writer may ever find his golden dreams realized. Let us hear from him again. Both gold and poetry are acceptable, or one alone! Dear Friend—l observed in your last number, that the actual cost of the 1000 copies of the Friend, distributed gratuitously this year, will exceed $200, and that the amount contributed for this purpose, thus far, is but $95. Hoping that every reader of your valuable paper will give this little item the attention it deserves, 1 beg you will accept the enclosed contributions, ($5.) And further oblige The Friend's Friend.

Honolulu, Nov. 1860. Tax Concert.—The Musical Concert at Fort Street Church, under the able management of Messrs. Waldau and Hosslocher, was an agreeable episode in the quiet life of the Uonoluluans. Far better judges than ourselves have pronounced the music excellent and the concert a success. The attention paid to music by the Amateur Musical Society" of Honolulu, is very creditable. What we are going to say, perhaps, we had better leave unsaid, but editors are supposed to have thoughts upon all subjects! This is ours respecting concerts for the people. The music should be less operatic, and more simple. Songs in foreign languages may suit amateurs, but when amateurs offer to sing for the people, the people wish to understand the words. We have noticed, in several concerts, that those songs which were understood, hove always called forth the most rapturous applause. This may be unscientific ana barbarous, but still wo write as one of the hearers. We once heard Jenny Lind sing " John Anderson my Joe," and the words of that song are still vibrating in our ears. The people, for the most part, prefer soft and gentle music, and if it is a little plaintive, they are not offended, neither will they object to lively airs. " Information Wanted.

Mr. Fox, a young singer and actor, called upon Mr. Hopkinson one morning and said, " To-morrow evening has been appointed for my benefit at the theater. Not a single box has been taken, and I fear there will be a thin house. If you will write me some patriotic verses on the tune of the ' President's March,' I feel sure of a full house. Several people about the theater have attempted it, but they have come to the conclusion that it cannot be done. Yet I think you may succeed." Mr. Hopkinson retired to his study, wrote the first verse and chorus, and submitted them to Mrs. Hopkinson, who sang them to a harpsichord accompaniment. The time and the words harmonized. The song was soon finished, and that evening the young actor received it. The house was crowded—the song was sung —the audience was delighted—eight times it was called for and repeated, and when sung the ninth time the whole- audience stood up and joined in the chorus. Night after night " Hail Columbia" was applauded in the theater ; and in a few days it was the universal song of the boys in our streets. Such was the origin of our national song " Hail Columbia."

And then beneath the ocean's breast, They laid the lifeless form ; And o'er him go the white-winged ships, And sweeps the raging storm. No marble marks his resting-place, But billows round him sweep, As he lies upon the coral red In long and dreamless sleep. The sea rolls on from pole to pole, And wide an anthem grand It bears upon the stormy blast— From shore to shore, from land to land ; Unheeding those who sleep below Amid its glittering gems ; Of pearls and diamonds flashing bright, Fit for monarchs' diadems. But when the last great trumpet-blast, Shall echo o'er the land, The dead shall rise from every part, And join the ransomed band. Boston Recorder. L. R.
