Temperance Lecture by a Lady.—lf
we had not signed the pledge some thirty
years ago, tint! during the period which has
since elapsed experienced the good effects of
total abstinence, we think that we should
have signed on the evening of the 14th of
October, after listening to the very sensible
and judicious lecture of Mrs. A. W. Allen,
who lectured before the Dnshaways at the
Bethd Vestry. It was the first public leeture by a lady we ever heard. If woman
can arrest the drunkard in his downward
career, or persuade the young to walk the
pathway of virtue and sobriety, most surely
we bid her God-speed in her errand of mercy.
Intemperance has made woman to shed an
ocean of tears, and if now her voice can persuade the erring to reform, confirm the temperate in the right way, and send conviction
to the hearts of those whose business it is to
make drunkards, then let it be heard through
the world. Mrs. Allen, accompanied by her
husband, opened and closed the exercises by
appropriate singing. Her address was welltimed and appropriate, and delivered with
much elegance of diction and language.
Several of her illustrations were aptly and

ROBERT CRICHTON WYLLIE.
Another of the men who have carved for
themselves a place in Hawaiian history has
passed away. The name of Robebt Crichton Wyllie occupies a conspicuous place
among those who have labored to establish
the independence of tho Hawaiian Kingdom. It is with unfeigned sorrow that we
now sit down to pen a few paragraphs
respecting our departed friend. It was our
privilege to have met him on the day of his
arrival—the 3d of February, 1844—and
since that time to have enjoyed his
friendship. For eighteen years he was
a constant worshipper at the Chapel where
it has been our privilege to preach. During
that period, he was seldom, if ever, absent
from the morning service. When the Reformed Catholic Church was established in
Honolulu, he became an attendant there.
The death of His Excellency, Robert
Crichton Wyllie, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Secretary of War, occurred on
the morning of the 19th instant, at five minutes to eleven o'clock, at his residence at
Rosebank, Nuuanu Valley, Honolulu. The
public had been apprised on several occasions of late, by the newspapers, that his
health was gradually fuiling and his demise
might be daily expected. Its public announcement was accompanied by an order,
under the authority of the Minister of the
Interior, to close all Government office*.
The national flag at the fort on Punchbowl,
and at the Government offices, was lowered,
as well as the flags of the various Consulates. Many of the merchants closed their
stores, and other demonstrations of public
mourning were not omitted.
It is highly appropriate that His Majesty's Government, and the public generally,
should thus make every becoming demonstration of Tespect to the memory of the deceased, who has so long and faithfully discharged the duties of Minister of Foreign
Affairs of this Kingdom. For more than

and facing difficulties which would have Wellington, to reply to all letters. We
applied men of ordinary energy and a weak think that something beyond this was Mr.
.
Wyllie's rule. Besides carrying forward a
long and full correspondence with foreign
Governments, nnd commercial and financial
agents, he was also perpetually writing upon
subjects connected with the moral and social
condition of the Islands. At times he has
corresponded with many of the Protestant
and Catholic Missionaries. Little children
and youth very frequently were honored
with his correspondence. It was no uncommon thing with him to turn from inditing a
dispatch to penning a valentine.
We have often heard him remark that his
good old Scotch father, an elder of the Presbyterian Church, designed that he should
have become a preacher. He delighted in
theological reading and conversation. He
once showed us the original copy of a Spanish sermon, which he composed for a Catholic Priest in Mexico, and which was delivered by the same.
When Mr. Wyllie arrived at these Islands,
he was possessed of an ample fortune, having been long and successfully engaged in
financial and commercial affairs, in London,
Calcutta, United States and Mexico. He
was a native of Hazelbank, Ayrshire, Scotland, having been born October 13,1798;
hence ho was 67 years and 6 days old. In
curly life he received a good classical and
medical education, and subsequently became
acquainted with the French and Spanish
languages. The latter he wrote and spoke
with the fluency and accuracy of a native of
Spain. While some may withhold their
assent from all the political views and
opinions of the deceased, and may severely
censure some of his measures, asserting that
he was wrong and opinionated, yet it will
be readily acknowledged that a most remarkable man has passed away. Very many
looked upon him as a true and generous
friend, as well as a most laborious, faithful
and conscientious public officer. In forming
a correct estimate of Mr. Wyllie's character,
it should be remembered that, naturally conservative, he was from preference and education, an honest, and thorough-going monarchist. The principle of universal suffrage
he believed to be unsafe and wrong, even in
a Republic. Democratic opinions generally
were oposed to his views of Government.
He would honor the King, but not flatter
the people.
He once wrote us, " I am not one of
those who walk through life forgetting an
old friend at every step." This he wrote
with reference to the ingratitude which he
thought had been manifested towards a distinguished officer of the Hawaiian Government, now departed. He ever insisted that
the Government was bound to remember the
services of those who had labored in its behalf. His influence over went in the direc.

We are glad to learn from the Gazette, of
the 21st, that the Privy Council and the
Hawaiian Bar have shown that they appreciated the important services of the deceased.

President Lincoln on Negro Suffrage.
New York, September 25.—The Southern Advocate, of the ISth, says : The following extract, which has just been published, is from the late President Lincoln's
letter to General Wadsworth, who fell in
the battle of the Wilderness : " You desire to know, in the event of our complete
success in the field, and the same being followpd by a loyal and cheerful submission on
the part of the South, if universal amnesty
should not be accompanied with universal
suffrage. Now, since you know my private
views as to what terms should be granted to
the South in the contingency mentioned, I
will here add, if our success should thus be
realized, and followed by such desired results, 1 cannot see. if a universal amnesty is
granted, how, under the circumstances, we
can avoid exacting in return universal suffrage, or at least suffrage on the basis of intelligence and military service.

NOVEMBER, 1865.
A Tennessee Planter and a Negro
School. —The Nashville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says :
No man about Nashville is better known
than General Harding. His plantation is
one of the finest in Tennessee, and he went
into the rebellion with all his soul. But he
has been subdued, has taken all the oaths,
and seems disposed to observe them. He
has on his plantation one hundred and ten
negroes, the remnant of a once valuable
stock owned before the war. Yesterday
General Fisk went out to General Harding's
to talk with him and the colored people,
about a school. When the matter was first
broached, Mr. Harding expressed himself in
strong terms against it. He was " willing
to pay for the work he obtained, but a colored school he would not have on his plantation." However, a meeting was called.
General Harding introduced General Fisk,
told who he was. what was his business,
and sat down. Then the General took the
floor, and explained the views in regard to a
school. The scene just there and then
formed a spectacle worthy of the pencil of a
Raphael. There sat the ex-rebel planter
and General, and before him a congregation
of ex-slaves, whose dusky faces, when they
heard of the school, lighted up with a joy
better imagined than described. One old
gentleman broke out, " Bless dc Lord, Massa General, dat is just what we want,
exactly!"
After hearing the General, and beholding
the enthusiasm of the blacks, Mr. Harding
gracefully surrendered one. of the most wicked prejudices of the South, and agreed that
a school should be opened on his plantation,
to which he would give all possible encouragement. As soon as arrangements can be
made and a suitable teacher procured, a
school of sixty children will be opened.
General Harding pays his men eight dollars per month, his women six dollars,
clothes and feeds them, gives them the
whole ofevery Saturday to themselves, and
furnishes each one a truck-patch free. Many
of his hands, however, desire to rent lands
and manage their own affairs, so as to get
ahead in the world. When urging this
upon General Fisk's attention, one shrewd
old man said : "We will pay a good rent
and work hard. We is honest niggers and
want to deal
justly."
A Free National Museum.—The New
York Evening Post learns that Mr. P. T.
Barnum has definitely determined to begin
lo do now what he has for years intended to
do before his death—establish a free Mil
scum, on the plan of the British Museum,
the Louvre in Paris, and other governmental
institutions of a similar kind. In this institution Mr. Barnum proposes to place abundant specimens of natural history, and also
all works of art and relics of every name
and nature that may be contributed by our
Government, (by loan or otherwise,) and all
donations that may be received from everybody at home or abroad, whether Emperor,
King, Queen or peasant. In order to pay
the rent of the building containing the free
national collection, Mr. B. will erect and
carry on, entirely independent of it, a Museum on the old plan.

Newton and Voltaire.—In a tract entitled
"Astral Wonders," written by the
Rev. Mr. Craig, Vicar ofLeamington, occurs
the following interesting passage :
Let me narrate to you a passage concerning Sir Isaac Newton and Voltaire. Sir
Isaac wrote a book on the prophet Daniel,
and another on the Revelations; and he
said, in order to fulfil certain prophecies before a certain date was terminated, namely,
1260 years, there would be a certain mode
of traveling of which the men in his time
had no conception; nay, that the knowledge of mankind would be so increased that
they would be able to taavel at the rate of
fifty miles an hour. Voltaire, who did not

British Seamen.—The number of British
seamen is estimated at 375,000, exclusive
of fishermen and other amphibious races.
The seamen are divided into 70,000 belonging to the Royal Navy, for whom 155 clergymen are provided; and 306,000 belonging to the mercantile navy, for whom, until
recently, the Church made no provision
whatever. A Society maintains 13 clergymen and 19 readers for seamen. Then
there is the Thames Church Mission, and
various mariners' floating churches at seaports.

Removal of the Remains of the Kings
to the Royal Mausoleum.
The Hawaiian Government, under the
management of the Minister of the Interior,
transferred the coffins containing the mortaF
remains of the Kings and high Chiefs of
Hawaii nei from the Royal Tomb, on the
Palace Grounds, to the Royal Mausoleum,
in Nuuanu Valley, on the evening following
the funeral of Mr. Wyllie. A torchlight
procession accompanied the long train of
carriages conveying the coffins. It was a
most solemn, interesting and touching scene.
The utmost quiet pervaded the streets
of the city as the procession moved along,
escorted by a military guard, and followed
by the Royal carriage, another carriage in
which rode His Excellency, Governor Kekuanaoa.'and several other carriages. The
procession passed through the streets about
nine o'clock. The solemn stillness was
broken by the wailing of one solitary native
woman, who followed the procession. It
seemed peculiarly fitting that this national
sign of mourning should find utterance as
the mortal remains of Kings and Chiefs were
passing to their final resting place on earth.
Thinking our readers will be interested in a
few historical memoranda relating to the
Royal Family of this Kingdom, we have
gathered the following:
There were the remains of twenty different royal personages.
1. King Kamehameha 11, son of Kamehameha I, who died in England July 14,
1824, aged 27 years.
2. Queen Kamamalu, wife of the abovementioned, who also died in London, July
Sth, 1824, six days before her royal husband.
His Excellency Governor Kekuanaoa was
present, and placed in her leaden coffin two
teeth belonging to Kamehama I, thus directed by her husband. Their remains
were brought to Honolulu on board H. B.
M. ship Blonde, commanded by Lord Byron.
They were landed in Honolulu in
May, 1825, with imposing ceremonies.
3. King Kamehameha 111, who was also
a son of Kamehameha I. He was bom
March 17, 1814, and died in Honolulu Dec.
15, 1854.
4. King Kamehameha IV. His remains
were deposited in the Royal Mausoleum at
the time of his funeral, in February, 1884.
Near this coffin repose the remains of his
much-lamented son, the Prince of Hawaii,
who died in Honolulu, August, 1862, aged
4 years, 3 months and 7 days.
5. Queen Kaahumanu. She was a wife
of Kamehameha I, and was Regent during
the absence of Kamehameha II in England,
antl also during the minority of Kamehameha 111. She. died June 5, 1532.
6. Queen Kinau, or Kaahumanu 11,
daughter of Kanuhameliu I, ami wife of
Governor Kekuanaoa, father of His present
Majesty. She died April 4, 18*19.
7. Kamanele, daughter of Governor Kuakini alias Governor Adams. She was affianced to Kamehameha 111, and died aged
about 20.

Before us lies the second American edition of this new English Book. It is published in two neatly-bound volumes, and
printed at the Riverside Press, Cambridge,
Mass. This is a most charming book.
The writer presents a most vivid picture of
the times in which Cicero lived. Any one
who possesses the least taste for the ancient
classics and Roman literature will hail this
work as a most welcome arrival. It is a
book which will interest the general reader
as well as the classical student. It will be

An Euloot wo.v Abraham Lincoln. By Alex. H.
Bullock.
This beautiful tribute to the late Chief
Magistrate of the Unked States was delivered at the request of the City Council of
the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. For
several reasons we have read this pamphlet
with interest. First, the character, life and
death of Abraham Lincoln, are the most absorbing topics of the year 1865; second,
this address was delivered by Mr. Bullock,
an old College classmate, who graduated at
Amherst College in 1836, with the second
honors of his class, and who is now a candi-

Everett.
Should our old classmate be so fortunate
as to succeed to the Governorship of our
native State, we sincerely hope he may
truly follow in the footsteps of the illustrious
Governors of former days—the Lincoln?,
the Strongs, the Everetts. While all the
States are politically and civilly equal, yet
there is no denying that old Massachusetts
occupies a proud moral position among her
sister States. In the late struggle, how
nobly has she been represented by Senators
Sumner and Wilson in the Senate of the
United States. Massachusetts, in the language of Daniel Webster, « speaks for herself."
Sy Some one has sent us a
" specimen"
of Webster's new illustrated, royal quarto,
"
unabridged Dictionary," containing: 1840
pages, 114,000 words, and 3,000 illustrations, being the result of thirty years of literary labor of American and European
scholars spent on the revision alone. It is
published by G. and C. Merriam, of Springfield, Mass., and printed at the Riverside
Press, Cambridge. We have not only seen
this " specimen," but a single copy of the
work we have examined at Whitney's Bookstore. We can apply the language of Gen.
Jackson to this book, when he was once addressing a Western audience, and one of the
crowd called upon him to "tip" a little
Latin, when he broke forth, " Ne plus ultra,
multum in parvo, sine qua non, ultima
Thule." Al! this will apply to this Dictionary. As a Dictionary, we honestly believe

This number closes another volume of
The Friend. To all who have aided in
the publication of our little sheet, wo return
our sincere thanks. Those who have read
our paces, but in no way contributed to its
publication, we hope have been incited to
forward a good enterprise in some other way.
For some reason we have not received from
our sea-faring friends the usual amount in
the way of donations. Why is this ? Surely,
during the 'year past, you have received the
paper as cordially, but yet where are your
donations ? Many thousands of copies we
have distributed gratuitously. We have
distributed, gratis, what has cost us two
hundred dollars, and yet in the way of
donations we have received less than one
hundred during the year 1865.
Will not masters, officers, and seamen,
who have been so successful during the year
past, remember The Friend and the Bethel
before going to sea ? We hope this suggestion will be sufficient to enable us to close
up the year without a debt, but with even a
surplus in our hands. We should be glad
to report a thousand dollars in hand, as a
reward for editing and conducting our little

September, when we were made glad by
the arrival of the good ship Kamehameha,
Capt. Cunningham, who had come to our
assistance. Capt. Cunningham gave us all
the news concerning friends at home, the
war, peace, assassination, &c. We were
then invited to the cabin, where a nice supper was prepared. Here Mr. Sturges offered
thanks to the Creator of us all for his kind
protection and the deliverance of our beloved country from civil war and strife.
After supper, we repaired to the quarter
deck, where we sang "John Brown" and
cheered the Old Flag, and adjourned to our
respective abodes to await the saijing of the
ship.
The next week the Morning Star arrived,
bringing Mr. and Mrs. Doane, to the great
delight of Mr. and Mrs. Sturges. On the
27th of September, Capt. Cunningham having provided such recruits as were requisite,
we set sail for Honolulu, bidding: adieu to
Ponape and all our kind friends.
Capt. Cunningham was untiring in Ins
endeavors to make our passage pleasant and
agreeable. We are much indebted to him
for his unlimited generosity, and we also
tender our thanks to his officers and rrew
for their many acts of kindness.

Eight octavo volumes of this work have
already been published, by Carter & Co., of
New York, as follows
Trinitarian Congregational, Vols. I and 11.
Presbyterian, Vols. 11l and IV.
Episcopalian, Vol. Y.
Baptist, Vol. VI.
Methodist, Vol. VII.
Unitarian, Vol. VIII.
Seven of these volumes now lie before us,
the eighth not having been receivod, but we
have seen it announced in the American
papers. It is exceedingly pleasant to possess a sort of historico-photographic view of
the clergy of the various denominations of
America. Here we have it in convenient
size and shape. Il is decidedly the best
clerical album of American divines we ever
:
saw.
We have thought how delightful it would
l« to obtain a leave of absence for two or
three years, and visit America, traveling at
our leisure from city to city, town to town,
parish to parish, hear the different ministers, and sit down with them in their cozy
sanctums and talk about their parishes and
the history of their Churches. Life is too
short and work too pressing to undertake an
enterprise of that nature; hence we thank
the Key. Dr. Sprague, of Albany, N. Y„ for
preparing these accurately-written volumes.
They are full of choice reading, and contain
an amount of historical research truly wonderful. Very great accuracy is apparent
upon every page, and particularly in the
notes at the foot of almost every page.
We are exceedingly glud to learn from
th« various notices of the work in the denominational newspapers of the country,
that Dr. Sprague has, in a most wonderful
manner, treated the numerous subjects and
characters with historical accuracy, and yet
without offending the prejudices of the various denominations. This fact is the more
remarkable inasmuch as he belongs to the
Old School Presbyterian body. He has
manifested an eminently catholic and appreciative spirit in writing historical and bio,
graphical sketches of men and denominations differing widely from that branch of
the " Church Universal" to which he belongs. We began to peruse the work several years ago, and are glad to say that it
has increased in interest as the successive
volumes have made their appearance.
We close our notice of this work by adding that a parishioner could not peosent his
Pastor with a more acceptable New Year's
or Christmas present than Dr. Sprague's
Annals of the American Pulpit. The seven
volumes cost twenty-five dollars in New
York.
In Volume II we find a biographical
sketch of the late Rev. W. Richards, H. H.
Majesty's Minister of Public Instruction,
who die.d in Honolulu, Dec. 7th, 1847.

THE FRIEND.

I. 1885.
Visit of an American Man-of-War
ed in Micronesia.
Need-
We think the time has fully come when
the United States Government should send
a vessel of war on a cruise among the
islands of Micronesia. It is more than a
quarter of a century since a vessel belonging to the U. S. Exploring Expedition, under Lieut. Wilkes, cruised among the Gilbert or Kingsmill Islands, and forty years
since the Dolphin visited the Marshall
Islands. We are not aware that any other
U. S. Naval vessels ever visited those
groups of Islands. Our whaleships, by the
score, have frequented the ports of Ascension, and touched at other islands in Micronesia, and the Morning Star makes an
annual cruise throngh the Marshall, Gilbert and Caroline Islands, yet our naval
vessels have kept at a most respectful distance, as did a certain one sent to survey
the guano islands.
The civil war is over, and the vessels belonging to the navy released from blockading
duty j hence we think the Navy Department should dispatch a gunboat to cruise in
those waters, under the command ol an experienced and judicious commander, who
will faithfully represent a great, free and
Christian nation, which is ready to protect
its citizens and seamen in the most remote
parts of the world. We could name at
least a dozen islands which should be visited. The crews of several merchant vessels have been cut off in those seas. It is
our firm belief that the first U. S. Commissioner at the Hawaiian Islands, George
Brown, Esq., was murdered at the Marshall
Islands, in 1546, when he was on his passage to China. Very many are the reasons
we could assign why one of our vessels of
war should cruise through that part of the
Pacific. Commerce, trade and humanity
demand it. Again we say, let the Commander be the right sort of a man. Send
no "Mad Jack," (navy officers know to
whom we refer,) or anti-Missionary Commander, but a man of the stamp of Admiral
Dv Pont. It is worthy of the consideration
of the Navy Department, whether the time
has not fully come for a surveying ship to
cruise among all those islands and along the
innumerable reefs of the Pacific.
The Dollar Bill in the Sailor's Bible.
How little sailors realize the anxieties of
parents and friends in their lichalf. Said
to us a few days since:
Capt.
"When 1 was a sailor, my mother put a
Bible for my reading in the bottom of my
chest, and between the leaves she placed a
dollar bill; and I am ashamed to say she
found the bill there on my return home."
He added, " I never felt so guilty in all my
life." We hope all the sailors reading this
will search their Bibles, and if they do not
find bank bills they will find something
much more valuable. " Search the Scriptures," and ye may find eternal life.
Earthquake in San Francisco.-The
late earthquake was a much more serious
affair than we were led to believe from the
earliest reports in the San Francisco papers.
We have conversed with persons who were
there and experienced the shock ! There
were several shocks. Much injury has resulted to many of the buildings—glass was
broken—walls cracked—chimneys fell—the
foundations gave way—and there was a
general " shake." It has been estimated
that two millions would not cover the damage. Property holders will experience the
greatest loss.
"A Bird in Hand Worth Two in the
Bush."—-In our last issue we advertised a
lost canary, but the little creature, weary,
faint, hungry, partially robbed of its plumage,
sought shelter in the dwelling of a friend,
and the lady of the house took it in her
hand. Since its return, most charming
music has it discoursed. The Hindoo oays,
"An abode without birds is like food without seasoning." We have so few birds at
the Islands, except on the mountain;,, that a
sweet singing canary is a moat agreeable
companion, and while we are penning these
lines ours is singing most charmingly.

Rear-Admiral S. F. Du Pont.
Some one has kindly sent us a copy of a
pamphlet entitled " Sketch of the Public
Services of Rear-Admiral S. F. Dv Pont,
United States Navy." We have read notices of the death of this highly-distinguished
and meritorious officer. His fame is worldwide, and deservedly so. His services at
Hilton Head, Beaufort, Charleston, and
other places are well known. His services
in the Pacific during the Mexican war are
still fresh in the memory of many. We can
well remember his visit to the Islands as
Captain in command of the frigate Congress.
We have not forgotten the kind attentions
which we received from him on that occasion. He has ever kept up a friendly correspondence with the Rev. Mr. Coan, of
Hilo.
While he was in every respect the very
beau ideal of a naval officer, in discipline,
bravery and gallantry, yet he was not
ashamed, in all places and on all occasions,
to be known as an humble and firm disciple
of the Saviour of the world. He belonged
to a class of warriors embracing a Vicars, a
Havelock, a Foote, and many others, who
combine the noblest patriotism with the
most sincere and ardent piety. We quote
with pleasure the following p'.ragraphs from
an address at his funeral, by Bishop Lee, of
Delaware, at Wilmington, June 25, 1865:
The Church of Christ mourns to-day for a
faithful, earnest and consistent member.
Admiral Dv Pont was in truth and sincerity
a Christian man. In the strength of his
manhood, amid the smiles and promises of
the world, with much around hiio to inspire
pride, and to draw away his thoughts from
things unseen, he bowed with humility at
the foot of the Cross. With all the energies of his large soul, and with all the affec
tions of his generous heart, he responded to
the mercy of his redemption by the Son of
God. The consecration which he made of
himself to his Savior was hearty and unreserved. He thus judged " That if One
died for all, then were all dead—and that
He died for all, that they which live should
not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto
Him which died for them and rose again."
After embracing the promises of the Gospel,
he was outspoken and manly in his Christian
course. Under all circumstances, he was
willing to be known and recognized as a follower of Christ. On the deck of his vessel
he would kneel down among his officers and
crew to seek the Divine protection before
going into danger, and to render thanks to

It is too often the case that in the characters of the illustrious, and even of the good,
there is some defect, blemish, or drawback,
that detracts greatly from their influence,
and mortifies their friends and admirers.
The character of Admiral Dv Pont was

South Sea Island Missions.—The Rev.
Mr. Arbousset, French Protestant Pastor of
the Island of Tahiti, is now in this city, endeavoring to interest our people in the important Missionary labors which have been
so successfully prosecuted in that Island.
The Missions to the South Sea Islands were
commenced in 1797, the first movement in
England in behalf of the heathen world.
After long-continued, self-denying labor, the
whole group were nominally converted to
Christianity. In 1836, two Roman Catholic
Missionaries went there to propagate their
faith, and were expelled by the Government.
The interference of the French in opposition
to the local Government, and the establishment of the Jesuits by force, to the great injury of Missions, is well remembered, but
the French Government has since happilychanged its policy toward this people. In
1860, the National Assembly of the Islands
sent to France for two Protestant Missionaries, and now the Government is restoring
to the Protestants the charge of the schools
which were wrested from them and given to
the Jesuits. Queen Pomare and nearly all
the people still adhere to the faith of the

Obituary.
Died, in Honolulu, on Sabbath evening, Nov. 20, at half past
nine o'clock, Miss Lydu Bkown, for thirty years a member of
the American Mission tr> the Hawaiian Istiinds, aged 85 year:*
and 8 month?. She had resided on the Inland* thirty year;,
having arrived here in June, 18.15.
Though she had long been feeble, and wna not expected to
live long, yet the immediate cause ot her death was a very so
vere burn, received on the same evening, and about two hour*
previous to her death, the lady with whom she boardedsuggested that she would leave a light in her room, as she was so
feeble, but Mis* Brown wild she had the means at band to
strike a light in c«*e shertquired one, and preferred that none
should bo left. The lady retiring to her chamber, was aroused
by a cry for help about half past seven o'clock, but Itefore sh»*
and a near neighbor could reach the feeble sufferer, she was
burued beyond the power of relier. The match with which she
had attempted to strike a light had evidently set fire first to
her left sleeve, from which the flames had spread rapidly to her
body. She survived two hours, in possession of her faculties,
and not apparently a great sufferer, after she was discovered.
Though no medical aid could save her life, yet the try for help
was just in season to save the house from conflagration.
Miss Drown was bom in New Hampshire. Her father wag a
physician, and the late Dr. Brown, who, at the head of an Institution In Boston for the cure of club feet and other similar
infirmities, has earned quite a reputation by his success, was a
cousin. For many yearsshe wasdevoted to teaching Hawaiian
girls both letters and the duties of domestic life. Her attachment to her native country was unwavering. She rejoiced that
she was permitted to live to sec the overthrow of the great rebellion and the suppression of thearmed treason which threatthe overthrowof the United States Government. In the language of her pastor, in Ids remarks at her funeral, Two characterises predominated above all others. One was loyalty to
her country and the other an earnest solicitude for the progress
and triumph of her Saviour's cause."
Though long past the period of active service,and subject to
pain and weariness,yet she was a i rcat reader, and kept herself fully posted in regard to current events. She rejoiced In
every success cf theUnion armies, and that she was permitted
to see their final triumph; and she rejoiced still more In every
Indication ofprogress In the advance of the Missionary work,
and her full belief of its ultimate universal success. Her own
hopes rested upon her Saviour. To the writer she said, a few
days before thesad catastrophe, My only hope Is In Jesus;"
and to a sister she repeated, with earnestness,
A wretched, weakand helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall.
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Saviour and my all."
Though called away in so distressing a manner, stltl the
event was mingled with mercy. After the fire was extinguished,
she seemed to suffer very little, aud when the physician announced that she was dying, she calmly responded, M I think 1
am." She received every possible aid during the brief period
which elapsed between the occurrence of the accident and ber
death which thekindness of her entertainerand sympathizing
neighbors could bestow, and, couldshe speak her thanks, they
would be hearty and sincere.
