It affords us however no small amount of gratification, to glance our eyes over these volumes, although we cannot translate a single character. We here behold the fruits of a missionary's toils, to enlighten the people of China. These translations were all made by one man, Mr. A. Wylie, a Scotchman, connected with the London Missionary Society, at Shanghae. We were first made acquainted with the labors of this distinguished missionary translator, by the Rev. Mr. Wood, of the U. S. steamer Powhattan. (See Friend, for April 2d, 1860.) These volumes were forwarded by Mr. Wylie of Shanghae, to his namesake and fellow countryman, Mr. Wyllic,'the minister of Foreign Relations. The following extract we are permitted to copy from the letter accompanying these Chinese books: " It may interest you to know that the hist named (serial) has been reprinted verbatim, by a censor of tho Press of Miaco, the Metropolis of Japan, with the exception of tho articles on Christianity, which are all carefully excluded. I have been told that tho other works are also being published in Japan, but have not seen them yet. There is considerable call for them in that country. I have also translated Euclid, which has been engraved by a Chinese, ut his own expense, tho blocks being kept in his house at Sung Keang, and that city having been recently taken by the Insurgents, his house was burnt down and I suppose tho blocks of Euclid must have been consumed ; so that the limited number of copies printed off and put in circulation now become rarities, and I am unable to send joym copy. Not being ordained to the ministry, 1 have boon induced to take up this somewhat less attractive department of mission work, believing that though only of secondary importance, yet that it will not be without profit under the Hivine blessing for the advancement of our calling in this dark, but still most interesting empire." It is nn interesting fact, that the Chinese and Japanese, are advanced to a degree in mathematical science, that they can appreciate works, the titles of which we have copied. As we have before stated, "in our notice of Captain Mungero, in the June No. of the Friend, of last year, the work upon navigation by Bowditch, had been translated in Japanese. These and other translations must now be exerting a powerful influence in modifying the opinions and enlightening the minds of the inhabitants of those vast empires. We should never remember the benefits we have conferred, nor forget the favors received. �1 If X FRIEND, FEBRIARY, how many the sun enlightens, and how few are injured by its spots!

" Four Natives of Lifu arrived at Home. We would again call the attention of our readers to the " four natives of Lifu," noticed in the Friend, for January Ist, and for October 4th, 1859. These natives of an island in the South seas, had been kidnapped and brought away frpm their native island. It affords us pleasure to announce, that after being taken to Ascension, the Northern " whaling seas, Honolulu, and the Navigators' Islands, they were safely landed again upon " their native shores. In the March No. (1S60) of the Samoan Reporter, published at Samoa, at Navigators' Islands, we find the following paragraphs, relating to these four Lifuans. The paragraphs are copied from In reply to our correspondent, we say, we the narrative of the fourteenth trip of the meant " the fire of Luther," when in the missionary bark John Williams, to Western Polynesia. beautiful language of Edward Everett, hands not the oaten of The four natives of Lifu to whom I have pipe 110 took into his " the classic muse; ho moved to his great work, already referred as being on board our vessel, not now rejoiced to find themselves once more 'to theDorian mood on their native shores.

Two of them are of high rank in the bay where we anchored, and it was affecting to see how the people clung to them, listening to their tale, and following them wherever they went." We have read books called Histories of England, under thereign of Goorgc the Second, in which the rise of Methodism is not even mentioned. A hundred years hence this breed of authors will, we hope, be extinct." We met with the above remarks of Macaulay, several years ago, in his celebrated article upon history published in the Edinburgh Review. They have often been recalled to mind when perusing that class of newspaper scribblers, and writers of books of travels, who pretend to treat of the state of things in India, China and Japan, but ignore the influence of Protestant missionaries. Such writers, if they do not entirely overlook missionary influence, speak of it in a patronizing and supercilious style. " Those men," they affect to say, " are a very good sort of people, they mean well, and may do some little good, but as for their efforts ever producing any thorough revolution in the public sentiment of those vast nations upon religious subjects, is absurd." Events however are beginning to transpire in those countries which clearly show that missionary influence is most potent. The leaven of the Gospel is gradually diffusing itself abroad. The principles which the insurgents of China have adopted may be mixed up with error, but still there is enough apparent to show that a vast under-current is setting in the direction of a new order of affairs. We commend to the careful perusal of our readers the statements of the English and American missionaries, published in another part of our columns, respecting the state of parties in China. We would also refer to the translations of Mr. Wylie, as worthy of more than a passing thought. In Hue's Travels through China, we recollect to have read remarks indicating that he regarded the efforts ofProtestant missionaries, whom he sneeringly styles Methodists, as utterly futile and unproductive of good. Hue may be a very clever writer of a book of travels, but from some of his inferences, we should altogether dissent. It is our confident impression that we should pfcpare our minds to hear of great, vast and widespread revolutions throughout all those Asiatic nations.

A Hawaiian in Lima, 1832. We have frequently, in conversation, heard the remark, that a Hawaiian, by the soubriquet of Col. Stevens, once visited Peru, in South America, but until recently we have never met with any narrative of that visit. The following interesting letter, we are confident will be perused with interest by many of our island readers. The name of the writer we scarcely need mention, for no one but Consul General Miller could possibly have written such a letter. He had visited the Sandwich Islands, the previous year, and hence had but just returned to Peru when Col. Stevens visited Lima, in 1832. There is no doubt that it was chiefly through the General's kindly interest in the Hawaiian military chieftain, that such distinguished honors awaited him at the Republican Court of Peru. Several notices of Col. Stevens also appeared in the Mercurio Peruana, a newspaper then published in the city of Lima. We would merely add that the person to whom we now refer, died in Honolulu, a few years since. A recent writer in the November number (1860) of the North British Review, referring to the state of the South American Rea publics, speaks of General Miller as brave Englishman, who served some of the South American States in their wars of in- " dependence." Extracts of a letter dated in the " Bahia dclCallao," May 1832. The North American brig Convoy arrived here on the 29th ult., direct from the Sandwich Islands, having on board John Kivini, one of Tamehameha's suite. The moment he heard that 1 was afloat in the bay, he came on board to see me, and manifested much concern on learning that I was not allowed to land. I gave him a letter of introduction to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and wrote the following harangue for him to translate into his own (the Owyhean or Native) language, and deliver to Gamarra, on being presented at the Palace: Sire: " Excellent May Johovah bless us: " " Tamehameha the 3d, King of the Sandwich Islands, has often heard much of the riebeiand splendor of Peru, and of her wars to free herself from tyrants. The names of your Excellency of San Martin, O'lliggins, Sucre, and Bolivar, aro not unknown to our Isles. Some foreigners oven told ub that we were descended from tho same family as the Children of tho Sun, for we, the Christian Relike them, wore Idolaters until ligion was introduced among us. Therefore, His Majesty, my master, desirous of knowing the truth, lias sent me to the capital, to see and learn all I can. I return to my native country, I shall -' not forget to make known how well I have been received hero, all the fine things that I have seen, and especially the honor that has this day been conferred upon me by being presented to xour Excellency. " This 'is my say, and may Jesus our Lord bless Your Excellency, and every one of us. (Signed,) " John Kivini." John Kivini is 23 years of age, understands a little English, and can read and write, and cipher as far as long division. His person is exceedingly well formed; his gait is graceful, and a suit of gay military clothes made at Lima, become him remarkably well. He has been introduced in due form, and made his speech to Gamarra, and dined with him, having received calls from the Government people, most of the general officers, civil employees, and a great many private individuals. A major has been named to teach him the sword, exercise, agreeably to his own wishes, and he never misses going to the Theater. You can scarcely conceive how much public attention hasbeen engrossed by this South Sea "Lion," the favorite theme of conversation at Lima now being about the Kanaka Prince, as he is called, for, although I only styled him Chamberlain, the Limenos insist upon his being of Royal blood. It is amusing to hear the slrange inquiries made about the Sandwich Islands, and attendant remarks. Yesterday, a young Limeno said to a gentleman on board, " Pero amigo digame V., enque parte del mundo estan Ins Sanvich Islas quen dira que ese principe andaba desnudo en su Pais; es tan bianco y mejor.mozo que un Colombiano—mas Dios solo sabe todo!" But, my good Sir, pray tell me what part of the world are the Sandwich Islands ? Who would suppose that this Prince went about naked in his own country; he is as white and better looking than a Colombian. God alone knows all things." The women are not less inquisitive to know all about the stranger. Some of them, it is said, have declared that they would rather have him for a husband than the President of the " Republic. Some philanthropists have conceived a plan for the encouragement of voluntary emigration from the South Sea Isles to the coast of Peru, and thus augment its population and improve the race by intermixture. Long articles have been published in the newspapers, setting forth the advantages that would arise by establishing a friendly intercourse with His Majesty Tamehamea the Third, the meekness and unpretending merit of whose vassals are ingeniously contrasted to the overbearing spirit and vicious habits of European interlopers, many of whom, it is added, think of nothing but sending money out of the country. Generals of the Army and Colonels of battalions have given their opinion that it would be highly beneficial to the service, to admit into their corps the docile Islanders. Thrifty speculators, on the other hand, are for establishing a sort of slave trade for supplying, by the importation of these dusky youths, the deficiency of black slaves and aborigines, on the large estates and mines that have suffered from the ravages of war. Others propose that an exploring mission should be immediately appointed. But not a word, in the meantime, is said as to whether these Islanders would willingly quit their land of plenty, where to obtain the necessaries of life it is scarcely requisite to labor, their congenial clime where ague and fever are unkown, theirhomely huts to which misery is a stranger, and lastly their friends and parents, to be transported to the scorching, unhealthy shores of Peru, or to the freezing mining districts of the Andes. To consult the wishes of the intended emigrants, or the will of their rulers, or of their all-influential missionaries, has been entirely left out of the question spiritedly discussed by all classes of people. Fortunately, however, it is not probable that the native chiefs of the South Sea Islnnds, or their advisers, will permit anything like a kidnapping of their subjects. Perhaps formerly it might have becVi done, but not now that the march of intellect has extended to the green Isles of the Pacific. Therefore, iv spite of the reigning mania at Lima, there is no more probability of visionary schemes succeeding there than elsewhere ; neither is there any chance that we shall see the healthy, robust sons of Polynesia rotting and dying of the small pox, ague and other diseases on the sultry deserts of Peru. John Kivini keeps a journal, and writes down his observations every night, as, he says, the King particularly requested that on his return to Woahoo he would " speak no lies." Amongst his remarks are the following, which he translated to me as he read . them from his note-book : " Churches very fine (maitai), but the missionaries no good (pobuga). Saw one of them talking in a drinking house. They kneel down to images: they be idolaters: they no look like good men. The Spanish girls pretty red faces and white hands: they dress very grand. The soldiers maitai, and large, many of them, but not so clean and good looking as English soldiers on board ship. Fort of Callao maitai, much larger than the one at Honolulu. On shore a great many big guns, wide deep ditch and stone all round them. The Theater very fine at Lima. I like dc singing and music better than that the missionaries sing at Honolulu." Quite enough of John Kivini. I dare say that a month after he has left Lima—and he returns in a few days to Woahoo in the same vessel he came—the gay people of the Capital will entirely have forgotten their Sandwich Island guest. New Bethel at Valparaiso.—William Wheelwright, Esq., of this city, has ordered the construction of a Bethel church and school house, both to be under one roof, for Valparaiso in Chili. It is over a hundred feet long by near fifty wide, with a partition separating the chapel from the school room. It will cost Mr. Wheelwright here some three thousand dollars. There is no man living who has done so much for the South Americans, by steamboats, railways, aqueducts, and measures for the moral, intellectual and religious improvement of the people, as Mr. Wheelwright. Nor are his efforts for the good of his race confined to one continent. It is but a short time since the Protestant Missionaries at Constantinople were in want and liable to failure from deficit in funds, when he generously covered all their demands by a draft for nine thousand dollars.

Damon, Secy. 9 �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1861. William Kanui still alive. Before the American Board of Foreign Missions sent out missionaries to these islands, it established what was called a Foreign Mission School at Cornwall, Connecticut. This school embraced young men gathered from remote heathen' tribes or nations. Among this number, were several from the Hawaiian Islands, viz: Opukaia, or Henry Obookiah, Thomas Hopu, and William Kanui or Tennove. Kanui and Hopu returned in the first company of missionaries who landed upon the islands in 1820. Obookiah died in America before the missionaries embarked. On their return to their native shores, Hopu and Kanui were taken into the service and train of Kamehameha 11. They were sometimes engaged in school-teaching, and at other times engaged in various employments. They passed through a variety of the ups and downs of Hawaiian life. On our arrival at the islands in 1842, Kanui was teaching school in Malolo Valley, on Oahu, and Hopu was living at Kailua, on Hawaii. When the California gold fever raged at the islands in 1848-9, both started for the mines, where they were tolerably successful. In July '49, when' visiting Sacramento, we met Kanui keeping a small eating establishment at Sutter's Fort, and Hopu living in Sacramento, where the trees were giving place to tents and wooden houses, which long since were cither swept away by floods or consumed by fires. Since '49, we have never heard from Hopu, and if he still lives among Hawaiians in California, we should be glad to know it. From late communications published in the New York Observer, written by the Rev. A. Williams and Rev. Mr. Rowell, we learn that William Kanui is still alive. visited him in his sickness. Thus he was induced to deposit his money in thoBank of Page, Bacon & Co. A few days only had elapsed when that Bank, with others in this city, failed, and all his hardly-earned gains were lost, probably beyond recovery. Tennove then, being obliged to exert himself for a livelihood, opened a boot-blacking stand, and continued it for somo time. But sail to relate, in his religious interests ho became quite rockless, and continued for a long time in a backslidden state. The Rev. Mr. Rowcll, minister of thoSoamon's Church in this city, lately, in the noon-day prayer-meeting, gave an interesting narration of his case. From his statements it appears that the immediate instrumentality of Tennove's recovery was his being led, in tho Providence of Goof, to attend upon the religious services of the Mariner's Church. Thus his conscience became awakened, and his religious experiences were revived. A proof of his returning religious sensibility was shown in his resolving to give up his humble employment becauso he could not prosecute it without violating the Sabbath. This he abandoned without any visible means of support; and for the first week he was unable to find any. Saturday afternoon camo and he was without the means of paying the weekly rent of his room. In his distress he mado his extremity a subject of prayer, and while he was praying a dray load of refuse materials was brought and thrown down near his lodgings. The thought was suggested to him to look among these articles to sec if anything valuable could be found. He searched, and from tho mass gathering up sucn rags and old iron as he found, he carried them to a neighboring junkshop and sold them for one dollar and a half, enough to pay his rent. Ho felt that the Lord gave him, in direct answer to prayer, this supply of his wants. The circumstance further prompted him to continue in the same occupation, and thus he now obtains his livelihood. Many interesting incidents havo become known respecting him, which go to confirm the confidence that he is a true child of God, and that his last days will be spent in sincere and earnest attempts in holy living and all possible usefulness. lie is now a candidate for admission into the Mariner's Church, and will soon be received into its com- A.

The Better Way.—lt may bo easy to manage a crew of seamen under tho rigid discipline of a man-of-war, but allow those men to enjoy a day's lilierty on shore, and they will conduct as only men-of-war's men can ! Some commanders allow their men only one day's liberty in a twelve month, but others allow their men to enjoy frequently a liberty's day on shore. Tho latter plan, we are confident, is the best and most sensible. This was tho course pursued by Capt. Pearse of the Alert. It is reported by the Polynesian, that not one man fell under censure through improper conduct ashore The crew of the Alert were allowed to visit tho shore every day, but were put upon their good behavior. This is the right way, and a much better way, than to koep scores and hundreds of men cooped up togeher for months, and then allow a " quarter watch" ashore at once, and only for a few hours. Strange indeed, if they did not conduct like brute beasts or wild savages! Wo believe in treating sailors like men, and likereasonable beings. Some may abuse tho confidence reposed in them, but the majority will conduct much better, than if treated like children, or fellows in whom no confidence can be placed. 13 Correspondence, HtlQiii/ to Troubles between American Whalers and the Russians in the Ochotsk Sea.

Dougherty, Esq., Vice Counsul of the United States, Honolulu Sir —I have to inform you that complaints have been received from the Russian Government that a gross outrage was recently committed on some subjects of that Government, on tho coast of Kastern Siberia, by the crew of a vessel of tho United States. It has, however, been impossible to identify the perpetrators, or even the vessel to which they belonged. That Government naturally feels seriously offended, especially as other charges of misconduct against American vessels in the same quarter, had also been preferred. Unless such lawless proceedings can bo chocked, it is to be feared that that Government will take measures of precaution, which would be very injurious to our whaling interests in the North Pacific, by prohibiting the capturing of whales within a marine leaguo of Russian territory. Under these circumstances, the Department deems it important to instruct you, as it now does, to omit no opportunity that may offer, to impress upon Captains of American Whaling Vessels, tho great necessity of vigilance in preventing such unlawful acts on the part of their crews, as havo been complained of oy Baid Gov- : ernment.

Paper. " �14 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, China. While the attention of the reading public throughout the world, is deeply interested in following the progress-of the Anglo-French army in its attacks upon the capital of China, another subject of equal importance claims attention. Wo refer to the character, designs and progress of the Revolutionary I'.irty in China. The Missionaries of valioui societies in China, arc making every possible effort to obtain correct information respecting the "Rebels" or "Insurgents," a* they are called. In the December No. of the Missionary Herald, we find extracts from communications written by Rev. Dr. Britlginan, of the American Board ; from Messrs. Holmes, Crawford and Hartwell, of the Southern Baptist Board, and Messrs. Muirhead, Edkins, John, Macgowan, and Hall, of the London Missionary Society. If such men cannot be relied upon, then we shall consider it as a hopeless matter to obtain correct information respecting the affairs of of China. INSURGENTS VISITED BY AMERICAN MISSIONARIES. In June last, three American missionaries Holmes, Crawford and Hartwell, connected with the Southern Baptist Board, visited the insurgents at Suchau, after that city had fallen into their hands, •'for the purpose of ascertaining something of their religious belief, and learning whether missionaries would be allowed to go among them and preach the Gospel." Portions of Mr. Holmes' letter respecting this visit, published in The Commission, will be read with interest. He says "We were escorted into the city and carried into the house of an official, whom we afterwards ascertained was the Prime Minister of the Middle King. Here we were treated with the greatest kindness and hospitality. We were shortly visited by a mandarin, who came in and shook hands with us familiarly, and expressed himself delighted to see us in Suchau. He had found an opportunity to know something of foreigners, having lived several years in Shanghae, which accounted for his familiar mode of receiving us. He had learned that pomp and ceremony made no such impression upon us as it does upon his countrymen. We informed him that we had no civil authority, and that we had no mercantile objects in view—that we were simply preachers of the Gospel, and had come to preach to them, and to ascertain whether they would prevent our going to preach among the people whom they governed. ' Assure your hearts,' said he, ' we shall be glad to have you come; we shall be glad also to have merchants come ; we have no enmity against foreigners, but are anxious to secure their friendship.' * We came back with much more favorable " impressions of the rebels than we had carried with us. Judging them by the only standard which is justly applicable to them —the Chinese one—they seem to be far in advance of the imperialists—more liberal in their views, less selfish in their purposes, at Shanghae, Messrs. : ** and less cruel in carrying them out. That any of them are converted men, we are not prepared to say; but that many of them have a tolerably correct idea of the leading truths of the Bible, we know from our own observation. Portions of Christian books, Scripture truths and Christian hymns were repeated to us by them. " We cannot look upon this great revolution as other than a judgment of God upon this idolatrous people. Idolatry is one of the direct occasions of the rebellion. They claim that they are appointed of God to put it down ; and though we think that their zeal is 'not according to knowledge,' we also think ourselves justified in the conclusion that, like Cyrus of old, they are the appointed instrument of his wrath. The demolished idols were to be seen floating along the sluggish strcnm with those who died in their defense. That God is here making the wrath of man to praise him, we think is very evident." Mr. Muirhead, of the London Missionary Society, writing in regard to this visit, and the facts ascertained by the missionaries, says: " In the course ofconversation, the so-called rebels freely avowed themselves to be Christians—that they believed in one true God, the Heavenly father, and in His Son Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, and in the Holy Spirit. It was acknowledged by them that their views might not bo correct in some things, considering the circumstances in which they had been placed; but still they called themselves a Christian people, and desired to be regarded as a Christian dynasty. The bearing of these Kwangsi chiefs is said by the brethren to be noble and intelligent, far superior to the race of Mandarins we are accustomed to meet with. They evinced neither a haughty nor overbearing manner, nor an appearance of obsequious deference lo foreigners ; but expressed a strong desire to cultivate friendly relations with us, both of a religious and commercial character.— They were animated evidently by a strong faith in God as to the success of the rebellion. Of late they had been suffering from terrible calamities, which, with their deliverance out of them all, they attributed solely to the intervention of their heavenly Father." 1861. would have been a large congregation at a prayer-meeting, now twelve hundred assembled evening after evening—and that to a prayer-meeting conducted by the minister of the parish. At a place called Dunlop, the awakening is very general and thorough. Meetings have been continued every night for weeks in succession. The parish churches arc thronged. Stewarton is another town referred to as having been visited by the Spirit's gracious influence. During several months past, notices have appeared respecting the revival in Ireland, but now the good work is spreading in Scotland and England. The movement in London is particularly interesting. The principal human agency employed is simply the frequency of prayer-meetings in connection with the stated preaching of the Gospel upon the Sabbath. The Perils of Science.—Some years ago a large whale was caught at the Nore, and towed up to London bridge, the Lord Mayor having claimed it. When it had been at London bridge some little time, the government sent a notice to say that it belonged to them. Upon which the Lord Mayor sent answer, "Well, if the whale belongs to you, I order you to remove it immediately from London bridge." The whale was, therefore, towed down the stream to the Isle of Dogs, below Greenwich. The late Mr. Clift, the energetic and talented assistant of his great master, John Hunter, went down to see it. He found it on the shore, with its huge mouth propped open with poles. In his eagerness to examine the internal parts of the mouth, Mr. Clift stepjied inside the mouth, between the lower jaws, where the tongue is situated. The tongue is a huge, spongy mass, and being at that time exceedingly soft, from exposure to air, gave way like a bog; at the same time he slipped forward toward the whale's gullet, till he nearly disappeared altogether. He was short in stature, and in a few seconds would doubtless have lost his life in the horrible oily mass, had not assistance been quickly afforded him. It was with great difficulty that a boat-hook was put in requisition, and the good little Revivals; in Scotland.—We have before man hauled out of the whale's tongue.—Buckus copies of the Air Advertiser for Nov. 8 and land's Curiosities of Natural History. 15, published in Air, Scotland.

The schooner /no arrived at Victoria on the 17th December, from San Juan harbor and Its vicinity, bringing a portion of the headboard of the Marshall, upon which the name of thatvessel could be distinctly seen. She was supposed, says the British Colonist, to have struck and gone down about seven or eight miles beyond San Juan, and near Cajic Flattery, on the night of the 10th November, during the same gale in which the D.

JANUARY 1. 1801. New Volume and New Year. With the New Year commences the XVIIIth volume of the Friend. Having been called upon for so many successive years, to address our readers with a New Year's Salutatory, we are somewhat at a loss for new and fresh thoughts upon the hackneyed themes. We had thought of jotting down a few stray thoughts upon (he close of the year, Christmas, and kindred topics, but our neighbors of the Advertiser and Polynesian have anticipated us upon those topics, and treated them in a style which leaves us nothing to add. Now wra shall we write upon? Ah, "there's the rub," as Shakspeare would have said, No !—he would not have been at a loss for something to say, for he could find " sermons in stones," and unquestionably he would have found something to say on any occasion. But the old dramatist never edited a newspaper, if he did write plays. He could write when in good humor, and who cannot? But he never was compelled to a periodical scribbling. Without puzzling our brain for something to write upon at the opening of a New Year ana commencement of a Now Volume, we can think of no language more beautiful and appropriate, than that of Prof. Longfellow, in his Hyperion : " Look not mournfully upon the past; it comes not back again : wisely improve the present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with manly heart." HOIv Series, flol. HONOLULU, JANUARY 1, 1861. Just as our paper was going to press, through the kindness of Capt. Bush, of bark Zoe, we have been favored with letters and the Samoan Reporter, from the Navigators' Islands. Our correspondents, J. C. Williams, Esq., British Consul, and the Rev. Mr. Murray, refer with delight to the incre.-ised facilities for communicating with the Sandwich Islands, afforded by the Guano vessels. Mr. Williams refers to the effort which is now being made to support an English School of 60 scholars, at Upolu, and Mr. Murray, to the progress of the Missionary work among the natives. He remarks as follows : " This group is fast rising towards a position of self support, unless some very untoward event or events come upon us. Our contributions to the London Missionary Society this year amount to the sum of £930 145., or $4,653, and for the support of our native pastors, we, in some of our disdistricts, have sums nearly as large." The present position of the native and foreign population at Upolu, must correspond very nearly to the state of things in Honolulu twenty-five years ago. 18. The Puritans and their Descendants: A. THANKSGIVING SERMON, Preached at Fort Street Church, in Honolulu, November 29,1800, BY REV. S. C. DAMON. [PUBLISH ill BY BEQUEST.] Psalm XCV: 2.—" Let uscome before Ilia presence, with thanksgiving." A Concert of Thanksgiving, embracing the friends of peace, liberty, piety and missions throughout the world, was originally suggested, I believe, by the Honorable William B. Heed, late U. S. Minister to China. In an address which he delivered in the city of Philadelphia, on his return to America, he declared in the most frank and manly style, that in his opinion, Christianity, as developed in the modern missionary enterprise, was the great agent of civilization. This is his language:— I went to the east with no enthusiasm as to the missionary enterprise: I came back with a fixed conviction that in its true and harmonizing power, and in its increasing influence in commercial adventure, it is, under Providence, the greatagent of civilization ; and I feel it my duty to add, that everywhere, in Asia and Africa, among the Caffres, in Natal, on the continent of India, among the forests of Ceylon, and over the vast expanse of China, the testimony to the It is highly gratifying that the subject zealand success of our countrymen as missionof the truth is earnest, and concurrent.

This • " �THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1861. 2 idea of a day of general Thanksgiving, is one of gradual growth. It has been gaining strengtn and spreading ever since the Pilgrims landed upon the shores of New England, two hundred and forty years ago. The Annual American Thanksgiving is unquestionably of New England origin. It is coeval with the colony of Plymouth. The first Puritan Thanksgiving was observed in the autumn of 1621. The venerable Edward Winslow, in his work, entitled, "Good News from New England," employs this language: " Wo thought it would be groat ingratitude, if wo should content ourselves with private thanksgiving, for tliat which by private prayer could not be obtained. And therefore another solemn day was Bet apart and appointed for that end, wherein wo returned glory, honor and thanksgiving to our good God, which dealt so graciously with us." Hence, originated the New England It soon became most deeply interwoven among the social and religious institutions of the New England Puritans. The observance of this day, for over two hundred years, was confined to the New England States ; but as the sons of the Puritans pushed their way westward, planting their homes in New York, Ohio, Illinois, nnd westward to the shores of the Pacific, they have so far influenced public sentiment, that even the State of California observes the last Thursday of November as a day of thanksgiving. A similar day has frequently been appointed by His Majesty, the King of these Islands. The appointment of no day of public religious festival has been more gratifying to the American portion of his subjects. Frequently have I been called upon to conduct the exercises of this public religious festival, and never have there besn wanting ampio and urgent motives for thanksgiving. How inspiring and gratifying the thought, that a Puritan Thanksgiving has become so maturely developed, that it now embraces within its broad grasp the Thanksgiving. friends of peace, liberty, truth and missions throughout the world. This is a noble, elevating, and impressive idea. We assemble, to day, not to celebrate an Hawaiian Thanksgiving, not a New England Thanksgiving, not an American Thanksgiving; but a Christian Missionary Thanksgiving, embracing the friends of truth, peace, liberty, missions and the gospel throughout the world. This idea when carefully reflected upon, is evidently calculated to enoble, expand, enlarge, and liberalize the minds of all who can be persuaded to entertain the world-wide conception. The idea is akin to that uttered by the Apostle Paul, on Mars Hill, at Athens, God hath made of one blood all nations of men, "for tp dwell on all the face of the earth." Why should not all men and all nations unite in a concert of Thanksgiving, which shall be universal ? The time, we believe, will yet come, when this will be done. Let us cherish, foster, and disseminate the idea, until " from the rising to the selling sun," there shall be sung one universal" song of praise and thanksgiving. It was in reference to that day that Cowper wrote: -, "One song employ* ail nations and all err, Worthy the Lamb, for be was slain for ns. The dwellersId the Talesand tin the rooks. Shoutto eiirh other, and the mountain tops fromdistant mountains eaten the flying joy. Till nation afternation, taught the strain. Karth rolls the r aptorout hotannaround." ' English navigators reckon their longitude from the meridian of Greenwich; the French from Paris; the Americans from Washington ; and it seems, altogether natural, fit and becoming that we should calculate ours today from the meridian of the rock of Plymouth. At what other meridian will it be more natural for us to reckon ? There let this concert of Thanksgiving commence. Let the sons of the Pilgrims dwelling near that rock, " give the pitch," or " raise the tune" in good old New England style, and then let the song of praise and the anthem of Thanksgiving rise, swell, extend, and be prolonged, until the sons of the Pilgrims, and all others, willing to unite with them, throughout the world, shall join in the full chorus. In the name of all the friends nnd lovers of order, truth, the gospel ami missions in these Islands, 1 would most cordially accept the invitation to join in this concert of Thanksgiving. In thus accepting of the invitation, and consenting to address those who might assemble on this occasion, my theme of discourse is naturally marked out, and my topic defined. Have we, as descendants of the Puritans of Old and New England, or sympathizing with them in their opinions, occasion to appear TO-DAY with Thanksgiving in the House of God ? Can I now address you, my hearers, in the language of the Psalmist, " Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving?" This is my theme of discourse: I shall endeavor to show, that the descendants of the Puritans and all sympathizing with them in their opinions and principles, have abundant occasion foe thanksgiving on this neither Parliament, nor Hierarchy, nor King, to interpret. The Puritans adhered to the Established Church as far as the interpretation of the Bible seemed to warrant, but no further, not even in things of indifference." This was Puritanism, "that not even a ceremony should be tolerated unless it was enjoined by the word of God." The adherents of this party were not a few weakminded enthusiasts and fanatics, but multitudes of the sturdy yeomanry of England. They were Englishmen, whom no threats could intimidate or persecutions subdue. If time would allow, I should delight to trace the progress of the Puritan party from the days of Edward VI. to those of Victoria. Sometimes under the iron heel of tyrannical power, the party may have been led to commit an occasional excess or overleap the line of prudence, but for the most part, the history of our Puritan ancestors is made up of the records of noble deeds and manly efforts to promote the cause of civil and religious liberty. A modern lecturer upon the heroes of the English commonwealth, employs this language: " It was Hampden who established in the English mind tho idea of liberty, Cromwell who established the idea of toleration, Make the idea that Britain must be master of the mas, and Milton the idea of the liberty of the press. This was tho special work of these four men, all Puritans, the lathers of Lritish liberty." How it does quicken the blood in one's veins to read of the earnest struggles of our Puritan ancestors of an earlier date than the Commonwealth. .Respecting a host, whoso names are upon record, and richly deserving that record, it may well be said "These are the great of earth, : Qreat not Ity kingly birth ; Great in their well proved worth, DAY. First: An historicalreview of the Puritans is calculated to inspire in all a feeling of Firm heartsand true." Rogers and Hooper, the proto-martyrs of Protestant England, were Puritans. They thanksgiving. The Puritan has made his mark upon the never sought by concessions to escape the page of history. He has attained historical flames, for them, compromise was apostacy." It is a fact, acknowledged by the ablest celebrity. Three hundred years ago the Puritan defined his position, took his stand historiansof the sixteenthand seventeenth centuries, that to the Puritans belongs the honor and has never abandoned his station. Throughout the ever varying and changing of religious liberty. Says one, " The previcissitudes of political and religious parties, cious spark of liberty had been kindled and he remains essentially the same in 1860 was preserved by the Puritans alone." This, that he was in his youth, 1560. The fashion be it remembered, is the language of even a of his coat and locks may have altered, but foe to Puritanism.

In dress, too, Uie gravest hue prevails now even more than among the Puritans so that the " black coat," once a distinction of ministers and judges, has lost its old significance. Milton, in Uie fourth book of his Paradise Lost, in his description of Adam in Paradise, took care to give a Ait at the fashion of the Cavaliers. He aimed Indeed to depict the unfalleu parent of our race as a model of manly strength,and beauty but we think he would scarcely have measured the length ol his hair so particularly as in the words we shall Italise, hud he not meant to signify that the gay courtiers of his time were a degenerateset, whocouldhave no place In such aconception Certainly grace and severity were happily combined In Ike Puritan model for the hair,—parted, not on the side, but in the middle, and flowing, but not effeminate,—as learned from has description, and from portraits also of himself and other wor" thies ofhis age.

Ills fair, large front,and eye sublime, declared Absoluterule ■, and hyacinlhine locks Kound from his parted forelock manly hung Clustering, but not bi ninth tin ihouldt r. broad." " " " �can boast of few reviews or essays to equal Macaulay's upon Milton, and yet the gems of that article, are the writer's sketches of Puritan character. The Puritans were men whose minds had derived a peculiar character from tho daily contemplation of superior beings and external interests. Not content with acknowledging in general terms, an ovoruling Providence, they habitually ascribed every event to the will of the Great Being, for whose power nothing was too vast, for whoso inspection nothing was too minute. * * * They rejected with contempt, the ceremonious homage which other sects substitutedfor tho pure worship of the soul. Instead of catching occasional gliutpses of tho Doity, through an obscuring veil, they aspired to gaze full on the intolerable brightness, and to commune with him face to face. Ilenco originated their contempt for terrestrial distinctions. * * * They recognized no title to superiority but his favor. * * * If they were unacquainted with the works of philosophy and poetry, they were deeply read in the oracles of God. If their names wero not found in tho registers of heralds, they felt assured that they were recorded in the Book ofLifts. If their stops were not accompanied liy a splendid train of menials, hosts of ministering angels had charge over them. Their palaces wero houses not made with hands; their diadems were crowns of glory which would neter fude away! On the rich and the eloquent, on nobles and priests, they looked down with contempt; for they esteemed themselves rich in a more precious treasure, and eloquent in a more sublime language, nobles by the right of an earlier creation, and priests by tho imposition of a mightier hand." The era has forever passed away, for nar- " rowininded writers to belie and misrepresent these facts of history. The tendency is now towards the other extreme. Poets, orators, essayists and historians, are new combining to weave a wreath worthy to place upon the brow of the Puritan of history. Even Oliver Cromwell—whose lifeless remains were dug up and hung at Tyburn —is now a hero among the English hero worshippers. Macaulay speaks of the " ability and energy of his splendid administration;" and again he remarks, " never before had religious liberty and the freedom of discussion been enjoyed in a greater degree. Never had the national honor been better upheld abroad, or the seat of justice better filled at home." It has taken, however, two hundred years for the character of Cromwell, one of England's greatest, wisest, and most powerful of rulers and statesmen, to triumph over long eras of abuse and misrepresentation. Englishmen are now proud of Oliver Cromwell, the Puritan Protector, as well as of his illustrious Secretary, John Milton, the author of Paradise Lost. But 1 must abruptly break off in this sketch of Puritan history, reserving my remarks upon their subsequent history, in America, to another branch ofmy general subject. All this mighty struggle, a rapid glance at which I have now taken, seemed the necessary and preparatory work, to make ready a people who should be fitted to lay the foundation of the great North American Republic. It was during these troubles at home, that successive parties embarked for New England. Even Oliver Cromwell had his passage, at one time, engaged for Boston.

The origin of the settlements at Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay, are distinctly to be traced to that conflict of the 17th century. The number of Puritans who came over from England and settled in New England, is estimated at 21,200, or about 4000 families. Their descendants are now estimated at over 4,000,000, scattered not only over the States of New England and New York, but Ohio, Illinois and other western States, to has received contributions from their pens. History, Poetry, Philosophy, Theology, and the Natural Sciences have been advanced by their studies and investigations. Should not this fact be to us a source of Thanksgiving on this Festival Day? Fourthly and lastly : The Missionary and benevolent spirit displayed by the Puritans and their descendants is deserving of notice on this occasion, and is well calculated to call forth our thanksgiving. The religious opinions of the Puritans being known, it might naturally be supposed, that they would become active in the philanthropic movements of the age. From their earliest record, they cherished a deep sense of personal responsibility. Every man and woman felt that they had eat ha mission to perform. That mission was religious in its nature, but still it did not demand any remissness, in regard to the social and relative duties of life. They were not satisfied with merely living without doing any harm, but they must do something positively good. The world must be made better for their living in it. They must work as religious men to Missions to the Indians were not confined the 17th century, but were continued dur- ing the 18th, being prosecuted by the devoted Brainard, President Edwards, and others of kindred stamp. The missionary zeal of the Puritans did not exhaust itself in the 18th century, but at the opening of the 19th, it burst forth with renewed vigor. Young men in the land of the Pilgrims arpse, who were fired with the zeal of an Elliot and the piety of a Brainard. They have prosecuted and are now carrying forward missions among the Choctaws, Cherokees, and many other of the Indian tribes of North America. Most nobly have they held on their way against an untold amount of opposition. The missionary spirit among the descendants of the Puritans, was not confined to the work among the Indians and the new settlements, but urged forward young men to go abroad and establish missions in Asia, Africa, and the islands of the sea. This year is the jubilee year of the American Board of Foreign Missions. Many thousands of the friends of missionf> from all parts of the United States, have just held a most interesting series of meeting in the city of Boston* The funds of that Board amounted last year, to nearly a half million of dollars. The review of the history of missionary enterprises as prosecuted by the people of New England during the last half century, will forma most interesting chapter in the history of Modem Christianity. It would embrace an account of missionary labors in India, China, Burmah, Africa, Turkey and the Sandwich Islands. I might dwell upon what has lseen accomplished and speak of those who have gone abroad, but I prefer to quote what others have written and stretching away to the shores of the Pacific, with a slight sprinkling over the Hawaiian Islands. Each original family has upon an average multiplied more than a thousandfold.* Incredible as it may seem, Mr. Jarves, the historian, estimated that the decendants of the Puritans, upon these Islands, would in one century multiply to 59,535, if they went on increasing at the same ratio as from 1820 to 1845.t think no one will question the assertion, it the Puritans and their descendants are intellectual in their tastes, habits, schools, lieges, and families, as any equal number and women. of persons dwelling in any portion of our In England, the Puritans contended for globe.

A similar testimony to the usefulness of tho labors of the American missionaries has also been given in a recent letter from Hon. James Williams, United States Minister at Constantinople, to the missionaries at Beyrout. He says: "It has been my good fortuno to become personally acquainted with a majority of theAmcri-" can missionaries in the Turkish empire, and with others I have been brought into communication, in the discharge of my official duties. Eminent alike for their intelligence and their prudence, they aro collectively and individually an honor to tho country which claims them as her citizens. In their lives they exemplify the virtues which thoy teach to others, and thuß by precept and example gain tho esteem of even those who opposo the accomplishment of their purposes. Superficial observers who estimate tho value of their services to tho cause of humanity and truo religion by the number of their converts, know but littlo of the real field of usefulness in which they aro sowing seed which will one day spring up for the harvest. From my own observation, I most cordially concur in the opinion which was expressed to mo by a high dignitary of a church which does not regard their doctrines with a favorable eye, to the effect that the American missionaries had contributed more to the literary and moral advancement of, and to the diffusion of useful knowlodgo in the Turkish'empire, than had been accomplished by all others."

He replied, " Like all other people who are untaught, the Japanese are ignorant, but now God has sent teachers (meaning all the missionaries) to teach the people the more perfect way." We also find that the people who can read Chinese are all quite ready to read our books, and we have already distributed numbers of copies of the Bible Evidences of Christianity," illustrated Bible Histories, and many religious tracts. We hope ere long to be able to speak to the people in their own language, and to have native Bibles and books to distribute. I have seen Capt. Munjero, but he is compelled to be very cautious about visiting foreigners. Only a few days ago, he was shut up three days in his own house for coming from Yeddo to Yokohama, and going on board a Dutch steamer without permission. We have not only a pleasant country, full of hills and valleys, trees, flowers, and smiling fields to look upon, but we have one of the most pleasant places in the country for our home, a mission composed of three families, and another family within call. We have no wide roads and carriages to ride over the country, but we have narrow roads and horses and saddles, to exercise our limbs and see the country around. " Yours, &c., J. Goble.
