End of a Quarter of a Century of Editorial
Labor.

With this
volume of The Friend. We commenced
editing and publishing this paper in January,
1843. It has appeared either monthly or
semi-monthly ever since, with the exception
of one year, 1851, while the editor was absent in the United States. About half a million of copies have been scattered abroad.
A( first we had no intention or plan of issuing a newspaper or monthly periodical. At
the commencement of our labors, we had no
competitor in the field gathering up items of
news for the public. At that time the broad

arrive at the Islands at a most interesting era
in their history, and at a most important
time in the history of the commerce of the
Pacific. The columns of the Friend will
show that we have improved the opportunity

make the Friend the vehicle for communicating information upon foreign missions, the
temperance cause, the interests of Evangelical religion, and general intelligence.
" Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report," have found a place
in our columns. Our object has not only
been to furnish matter of ephemeral interest,
but such as would prove useful and entertaining when bound in book-form. The constant
and steady demand for bound back volumes
shows that we have been successful to a certain degree. Only recently we received an
order from London to send forward numbers
which wouldcomplete a full file of the Friend
preserved in the British Museum. Back volumes are constantly called for by shipmasters cruising in the Pacific. One shipmaster
has remarked, that what " Horsburgh " is for
the navigator in the Indian Ocean, the Friend
is for the Pacific. Very frequently shipmasters have said to us that the information published in this paper has saved their ships
from wreck. Thousands of seamen have testified to the delight which they have derived
from the perusal of this paper during their
long and wearisome voyages. This fact,
more than any other, has cheered us to labor
on in this work. In order that the usefulness
of the Friend might be extensive among seamen, it has always been our rule to distribute
gratuitously. Of each number, we have given
away more than we have sold ; indeed, it has
been only in this way that the paper has been
supported. In reply to the oft-repeated question, " How is your paper supported ? " we
have replied, " By giving away."
It has ever been a source of joy to us that
from our subscription list and donations, we
have always been enabled promptly to pay
gratulation. We would now thank all those
who have by their money, advice and literary
contributions aided in its support.
While now writing upon the same desk,
and seated in the same sanctum where we
wrote our first editorial twenty-five years ago,
a feeling of devout gratitude comes over the
mind. The great outward world appears to
be full of change and revolution, while,
" Fixed to our post, the rolling years move on."
We know it cannot always be so. What a
day or year may bring forth, we know not.
While closing this quarter of a century of
editorial labor, we hope to enter upon another
with a strong will and resolute purpose,
firmly resolved manfully to perform whatever

tensive repairs were made upon the Chapel,

the female was at some distance, when he

and down of his head, but not of the wings.
Three other eggs followed on the 7th, 9th
and 11th of March. The eggs were white
and very large in proportion to the size of the
bird, being, I should imagine, equal to those
of the ' Swan Goose.' The goose also surprised us by the rapidity of her operations,
for we were hardly aware of the fourth egg
having been laid that morning, when it was
evident she had begun to sit. During the
whole period of incubation there could not be
a more attentive nurse, and indeed she could
not well help it, for the male, if she seemed

He was also one of the founders, and if I
mistake not, the first President of the Zoological Society of London. A portion of his
collection formed the nucleus of the " Derby

added a " Free Library ; " for the accommodation of which, Mr. Brown, M. P., erected
a building, a few years since, at his own private expense, costing about $150,000. The

Little is known as regards the birds of our
Islands, and I might add as to all branches
of our natural history, notwithstanding tbe
number of scientific gentlemen who have
visited us. From their isolated position, our
Islands are found inhabited by many species
peculiar to them. No systematic collections
have ever been made here. It is not only a
mere enumeraiion of species that is required,
but their distribution and variation over the
several islands of the group, and theiraffinity
with those inhabiting other parts of Polynesia and the continent. Many years must
elnpse, however, before a complete exploration of oht Islands can be afforded.

How to Become a Millionaire.
John McDonough, the millionaire of New
Orleans, has engraved upon his tomb a series
of maxims he had prescribed as the rule for
his guidance through life, and to which his
success in business is mainly attributed.
They contain so much wisdom that we copy
them :
Rules for the Guidance of my Life, 1804.—
Remember always that labor is one of the
conditions of our existence. Time is gold ;
throw not one minute away, but place each
one to account. Do unto all men as you
would be done by. Never put off" till tomorrow what can be done to-day. Never
bid another do what you can do yourself.
Never covet what is not your own. Never
think any matter so trifling as not to deserve
notice. Never give that which does not first
come in. Never spend but to produce. Let
the greatest order regulate the transactions
of your life. Study in your course of life to
do the greatest amount of good. Deprive
yourself of nothing necessary to your comfort, but live in an honorable simplicity.
Labor, then, to the last moment of your existence. Pursue strictly the above rules and
the Divine blessing and riches of every kind
will flow upon you to your heart's content,
but first of all remember that the chief and
great duty of your life should be to tend, by
all means in your power, to the honor and
glory of our Divine Creator. The conclusion
to which I have arrived is, that without temperance there is no health, without virtue no
order, without religion no happiness, and
that the aim of our being is to live wisely,
soberly and righteously. Jno. McDonough.
Mr. McDonough might have known how
to make a million, but he did not know how
to dispose of it when made. His large property was left to poor relatives, public charities and city corporations, and for twenty
years has been the constant source of legal
prosecutions. When will rich men learn to
become the executors of their own charities ?
They will screw, turn, pinch and worry to
make money, and their heirs and executors
will screw, turn, pinch and worry to spend it.

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1861.
J. B.
Gough, the Temperance Lecturer.
It is rumored that the celebrated orator, John
B. Gough, has been engaged to deliver a
series of lectures in Chicago this winter, for
which he is to receive the handsome sum of
$12,000. In this connection it may not be
out of place to append the following story
which is related by the Rev. T. L. Cuyler of
Mr. Gough:
On a certain Sabbath evening, some twenty
years ago, a reckless, ill-dressed young man
was idly lounging under the elm trees in the
public square of Worcester. He had become
a wretched waif on the current of sin. His
days were spent in the waking remorse of
the drunkard ; his nights were passed in the
buffooneries of the ale house.
As he sauntered along—out of humor with
himself and with all mankind—a kind voice
saluted him. A stranger laid his hand upon
his shoulder, and said, in cordial tones, "Mr.
G
,go down to our meeting at the town
hall to-night." A briefconversation followed
t,o winning in its character, that the reckless
youth consented to go. He went; he heard
the appeals there made. With tremulous
hand he signed the pledge of total abstinence.
By God's help he kept it, and keeps it yet.
The poor boot-crimper who tapped him on
the shoulder, (good Joel Stratton,) has gone
to heaven. But the youth he saved is to-day
the foremost of reform on the face of the
globe. Methinks when 1 listen to the thunders of applause that greet John B. Gough,
on the platform of Exeter Hall or the Academy of Music, I am hearing the echo of that
tap on the shoulder, and of that kind invitation under the ancient elms of Worcester!
He that winneth souls is imse.
The Czar has recently abolished a
strange custom. The cure of souls in Russia has for centuries been hereditary. The
son of a pftest becomes a priest, or if he has
only daughters, the eldest conveys the parish to her husband. Of course the priest is
as little of a pastor as is well possible, but he
is much linked with the peasantry, and the
Government, to improve the character and
diminish the popularity of the priesthood,
have abolished its hereditary character.
Henceforward the best candidate is to be appointed, which, as nobody ever takes the office voluntarily, is a satisfactory reform.

Loss or Schooner Helen.—This fine coaster,
known as the Maliko packet, was lost at her anchorage at Muliko on Thursday night, November 14th.
About dark the heavy northerly swells commenced
rolling in a most terrific surf, unaccompanied with
wind nor any premonition whatever. There was no
chance of getting out to sea before morning, and the
Captain and crew deeming it unsafe to remain on
board, fastened down the hatches and went ashore in
the boat, through the heavy surf. About midnight
the vessel was torn from her moorings, by an enormous wave, carried inland, and dashed on to the

THE FRIEND,
DECEMBER Z. 1861.
CapT
t. inkham's Opinion of Shipwrights
in Honolulu.
The American clipper ship Othello, on her
passage from Snn Francisco to Liverpool
with a cargo of wheat, sprung a leak near the
line. Under all the circumstances, Capt.
Tinkham concluded that with fair winds he
might reach Honolulu, but it was doubtful
whether he could have reached Valparaiso,
the other port which he thought of visiting.
He had never visited Honolulu, and was very
doubtful whether his ship could be repaired.
The vessel was discharged, hove down,
and thoroughly repaired. When the vessel
was nearly ready for sea, we chanced to meet
the master alongside, and knowing that he
had been subjected to very heavy expenses,
wo naturally expected a good-natured groicl,
at least, respecting Honolulu merchants, shipwrights and people in general. To our utter
surprise, Capt. Tinkham remarked nearly as
follows : "1 could not have had my repairs
done cheaper or better in any other port in
the world. I have been all over the world,
but was never treated better than in Honolulu. To be sure my repairs will cost me
about $20,000, but they have been thorough.
I consider Daniel Foster one of the very best
shipwrights, and his men have all worked
well and more hours than they would have
done in San Francisco. lam perfectly satisfied. I expected on my arrival to have
been detained ninety days, and I shall get
away in sixty days."
Testimony like this we thought worthy of
being put upon record. Similar testimony
have we heard from other shipmasters who
have been compelled to visit Honolulu for repairs. We recollect the master of the Arno
made similar remarks when he came hither
from the guano islands. It is the general
opinion of the masters of whaleships that
when compelled to make repairs, they are as
well treated by Mr. Foster and.Mr. Erames
as they would be at any shipyards in any
other port in the world.
We have received a letter from an old
sea-faring acquaintance, whom we have long
known as one of the most respectable and
rising young men in his profession. He left
Honolulu a few months ngo to visit his friends
and get married. He has written us an account of the marriage, and requested that we
will insert a marriage notice in the Friend.
We would gladly do so, but alas, sailor-like,'
he has omitted to give us the name of the
young bride. The happy couple do not reside a hundred miles from West Falmouth,
Mass.
We would return our thanks to J. o.
Carter, Esq., who has solicited subscriptions
among shipmaster* for repairs upon the
"A Wobd Fitly Spoken."—At a late
meeting of the Honolulu Temperance Legion,
Mr. Haddon, belonging to the whaleship
Corinthian, made some encouraging remarks.
After delivering an appropriate address, he
related a chapter of his own personal experience, which most admirably illustrated and
confirmed what he had previously said.
Some ten or twelve years ngo, when bound
around Cape Horn, he was in a whaleship
which, being disabled, was compellel to return for repairs to the Falkland Islands.
There he indulged so freely in the use of intoxicating liquors, that a severe fit of sickness was the result. The master of the ship,
Capt. Norton, was accompanied by his wife.
She was kind, and accompanied her kind attentions with words of good counsel. She
obtained such influence over him, that at the
next port (in Chile) atwhich they touched,
he abstained teetotally. A new era in the
young man's life now commenced. Ever
since that time he has proved himself ■
strictly temperance man. He is now an honored member of the " Sons of Temperance "
in Boston. More than that, he is married
and well settled in life. "A word fitly spoken
is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
We hope good Mrs. Norton and other captains' wives may be encouraged on the proper
occasion to speak a kind and " fit " word.
Such words may be " winged" with a reforming power. It is by no means an uncommon thing for us to hear sailors speak of
the kind words and kind deeds of the captain's wife. We wish every shipmaster in

The Maile Quarterly.—This is a quarterly publication which has appeared during
the last two years under the auspices of
" The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society." We have always read the numbers
with interest, but never felt at liberty to comment upon its contents, inasmuch as it was
not intended for generaljcirculation. A new
feature is developed in "No. IX." C.J.
Lyons, Esq., comes out with a new prospectus, and proposes to write, print and publish
as other newspaper or periodical publishers.
"The Maile," we are to understand, has attained its majority, and has now assumed
the attributes of manhood. We are glad to
meet you on these terms, Mr. Maile, and we
shall hope to enjoy many a pleasant tete-atete.
" Treaties and Taxation," is
a
good sub-
ject, and we hope to see it discussed in future
numbers. " Early Missionary Efforts Among
the Marquesas," is another article in the
right direction. "Shall I learn to play Billiards?" is the third article. In this the
writer appears to be squinting at billiards
through H. Ward Beecher's spectacles. We
should prefer to read what the writer might
have to say, when he had taken them off

Inaugural Oration before the Olympic
Club.—Our young men of Honolulu have
recently erected a large and commodious
building for gymnastic exercises. Their object appears to be to combine healthful physical exercise and manly sports with mental
and intellectual improvement. At the inauguration of their building, as an opening of
their Club," they invited His Excellency
S. H." Phillips, Esq., to deliver the address.
The reputation of the speaker as a polished
writer and eloquent speaker, prepared the
tublic
mind to expect an entertaining and
nished performance. It affords us great
leasure to note the fact that the audience
was not disappointed. Our limits will allow
but a brief allusion to the oration. Perhaps
it may be owing to partiality on our part to
lecturers and orators from the Athens of
America, but we can truly say that Mr.
Phillips' oration and delivery filled out that
beau ideal of what would be esteemed good
speaking in Boston, nearer than anything
which we have ever listened to in this part
of the world. Col. Hawkins gave us at the
Public Hall a good specimen of stump oratory of the West, while Mr. Phillips presented as good a specimen of the classic
scholarship, severe discipline,extensive reading, finished oratory and manly bearing of
the East.' The Advertiser of the 30th ult.,
prints it in full.
Two-sworded Japanese. —It is noticed
that some of the Japanese now in port and
attached to whaleships, wear two swords.
From " Mac Farlane's Japan " we learn that
the Japanese are divided into eight classes :
1. Hereditary Princes, Daimios.
2. Hereditary Nobility, including Gov-
ernors. &c.
3. Priests, of all sects.
4. Military.
" All these four classes," remarks this author, " who constitute the higher orders of
Japanese society, enjoy the envied privilege
of carrying two swords, and of wearing a
sort of loose petticoat-trowsers, which none
beneath them ever dare put on."
5. Includes medical men, Government
clerks, and other professional men.
6. Merchants and shop-keepers.
" The gentleman, or even common soldier
that should engage in any trade or traffic,
would be thereby disgraced forever. No
amount of money or patronage can procure
for the merchant the inestimable honor of
wearing the petticoat-trowsers."
7. Peddlers, mechanics, painters, artists,
8. Farmers and day-laborers of all kinds.
There is another class which is held in so
low estimation, that those belonging to it are
not enumerated or set down in the list:
" All tanners, curriers, leather-cutters, and,
in fact, every man in any way connected
with the preparation of leather or the leather
trade, lie under ban and interdict. They are
not permitted to dwell in any town or village
with other classes of men. They are not
even numbered in the census of the population. It is conjectured that this banning of
a whole class originated in the Sintoo doctrine of defilement by contact with any dead

It has long been our belief that in New
England history, scenery, life,character, manners, customs, peculiarities and notions, there
were the richest materials for writers of fiction and poetry. The time is approaching
when those materials will be wrought into
form and shape to please the fancy and interest the lovers of good reading. Mrs. Stowe,
in "Minister Wooing," Mr.Mitchell,in "Dr.
Johns," Henry Ward Beecher, in " Norwood," and now Dr. Holland, in "Kathrina,"
present pleasing earnests of what may hereafter be expected when American scholars
and writers possess more leisure, more culture, and more reflection.
The volume before us is from the prolific
pen of Dr. Holland, who has adopted the
norn dc plume of Timothy Titcomb, whose
" Bitter-Sweet," " Lectures," &c., are so
well known to the reading community. This
volume is a most charming tribute to the
worth, moral and intellectual, of woman. As
he has dedicated the volume to his wife,
doubtless it was her fair image that was ever
mirrored before his mind as he wrote, and
her unseen influence which nerved his hand
to write so felicitously, poetically and truthfully of woman.

The scene of the poem is laid in the valley of " the sweetest stream that flows "
winding and willow-fringed Connecticut,
where it wends its way among that cluster
of beautiful villages—Northampton, Hadley,
Amherst. We could scribble long and willingly, depicting the beauties and salient points
of this new poem. We hope our readers
may enjoy its perusal, and not be so carried
away, as we were, to devour the whole at
two sittings. But " a thing of beauty is a
joy forever." We expect the good impressions derived from the perusal of this volume
will long serve to keep alive in our mind the
very warmest admiration for a true woman—
wife, mother, sister,—although we should be
quite unwilling to admit that we ever were
deficient in that element of true manhood.
We would here return our thanks to that,
as we suppose Boston friend (G. D. G*, who
kindly has sent us this volume by the very
last mail arriving at the Islands. We would
add but a single remark, that we regret to
notice, in a hasty perusal of the volume, so
many new and un-English words in various
parts of the poem; but we suppose the author
is correct, and finds apology for their use,
from the fact that he resides in Springfield,
Mass., where also reside the publishers of
" Webster's Unabridged."

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 18»
Frost thefaerOc Commercial Advertiser, Nov. 0.
LaD
nAdrotic iscoveries.
One of the most interesting items that we have
learned from the whalemen, who have cruised in
the Arotio Ocean the past summer, is the discovery
ofextensive land in tbe middle of that ocean,
which may yet prove to be a Polar Continent.
The existence of this land has long been known,
but owing to the impassable ice barrier along its
•bores, of its extent and character nothing very
definite has been known, until this season. Baron
Wrangell, the famous Kunnin.ii explorer, first communicated to the world the knowledge of its
existence, as.ho learned it from the Siberian
Indians, and it is simply marked on most Arctic
charts "extensive high land."
It should be stated that the post summer has
been the mildest and most favorable for whaling
ever known by our oldest whalemen. One master
says that be did not see a piece of ice as large as
his hand till he reached tho straits, and even
beyond that, up to 72, the sea was generally
free from floating ice. The weather, for the
most part, has been exceedingly mild, with (southerly winds prevailing, which has tended to melt
the ice or drive it northward. As a result or the
favorable state of the ooeen and weather, the
ships have gone farther north this summer than
ever before, some having reached as high as
latitude 73 ° 30.
Capt. Long, of the, bark Nile, who seems to
have examined the land most attentively, having
cruised along the entire southern coast, litis
drawn a sketch of itß appearance. It is quite
elevated, and near the center hae an extinct
crater cone, which he estimated to be 2,480
feet high. He named it Wrangell's Land,
after the noted Russian explorer. The West
point he named Cape Thomas, after the seamnn
on his ship who discovered it, and tho S. K.
point, Cape Hawaii.
The names given by Capt. Long are so exceedingly appropriate, that we doubt not the Geographical Societies of Europe and America will
adopt them and call thisland " Wrangell's Land."
Capt. Long has prepared for us un account of
this interesting discovery, which wo insert here:
Honolulu, Nov. sth, 18j67.
H. M. Whitney, Esq.,—Sir:—During my cruise
in the Arctic Ocean this season, I saw land not laid
down on any charts that I have seen. The land was
first seen from the bark JVite on the evening of the
14th of August, and the next day at 94 o'clock A. x ,
the ship was 18 miles distant from the west point of
the land. I had good observations this day, and made
the west point to be in latitude 70° 4(3' north, and
longitude 178° 30' east.
The lower parts of the land were entirely free from
snow and had a green appearance, as if covered with
vegetation. There was broken ice between the ship
and land, but as there were no indications of whales,
I did not feel justified in endeavoring to work through
it and reach the shore, which I think could have been
done without much danger.
We sailed to the eastward along the land during
the 15th and part of the 16th,and in some places approached it as near as fifteen miles.
On the 16th the weather was very clear and pleasant, and we had a good view of the middle and eastern portion of the land. Near the centre, or about
in the longitude of 180° , there is a mountain which
has the appearance of an extinct volcano. By approximate measurement I found it to be 2,480 feet
high.
I had excellent observations on the 16th,and made
the south-eastern cape, which I have named Capk
Hawaii, to be in latitude 70 ° 40' north, and longitude 178° 51' west It is impossible to tell how far
this land extends northward, but as far as the eye
could reach we could see ranges of mountains until
they were lost in the distance ; and I learn from Capt
Bliven, of the ship JVuutilut, that he saw land northwest of Herald Island as far north as latitude 72 °.
The first knowledge of the existence of this land
was given to the civilized world by Lieutenant Ferdinand. Wrangell, of the Russian Navy (who I find in
1840 was an Admiral ha the same service.) In his
expedition* from Nishne Kolvmak in the consecutive
yean from 1820 to 1824he obtained information from
the Tachnk tschi that in clear days ia the summer eoa-

who spent three consecutive years north of latitude
69° , and demonstrated the problem of this open Polar
Sea forty-five years ago, although others of much
later date, have endeavored to claim the merit of this
of the open Polar Sea.
The following letter from Capt.
Raynor contains
some additional particulars, relating to the northerly current past Herald Island, a circumstance
noticed by several masters, and which tends to
confirm tho opinion that the newly-discovered
land extends some distance to the north. In the
channel north of Herald Island, the sea was clear
of ice as far north as the eye could reach from
tho vessel that went farthest into it.
Honolulu, November 1, 1867.
Me. Whithey,—Sib—ln compliance with your
request, I send a short account of a large tract of
land, lying in the midst of the Arctic Ocean, hitherto
but Uttle known. This land has heretofore been considered to be two islands, one of which is marked on
the English charts as Plover Island, which is laid
down to the W. 3 W. of Herald Island. The other ig
group.
As this report has been hurriedly prepared, I would simply marked "extensive land with high peaks."
wish to make more extended observations on the sub- On my last cruise. I sailed along the south and east
ject, which may be of benefit to other cruisers in this side of this island for a considerable distance three
discovery.
The west cape of this land I have named Capk
Thomas, from the man who first reported the land
from the mast-head of my ship, and the south-eastern
cape I have named after the largest island in this
�THE
different times, and once cruised along the entire
shore, and by what I considered reliable observations,
made the extreme southwest cape to lie in north latitude 70° 60', and east longitude 178° 16. The
southeast cape I found to lie in north latitude 71
10', and west longitude 176° 40*. The south coast
appears to be nearly straight, with high rugged cliffs
and entirely barren. The northeast coast I have not
examined to any extent, but it appears to run from
the southeast cape in a northwesterly direction for
about fifteen or twenty miles, and then turns to the
north and northeast. I learned from Capt. Bliven
that he traced it much farther north, and has seen
others who traced it to north of latitude 73, I think
there is no doubt that it extends much further to the
north, and that there is another island lying to the
east of it, say in longitude 170 west, and to the northwest of Point Barrow, with a passage between it and
the land I have just described. My reason for
thinking so is this We always find ice to the south
of the known land, farther to the south than we do
to the eastward of it. The current there runs to the
northwest, from one to three knots an hour. In the
longitude of 170 west, we always find the ice barrier
from fifty to eighty miles further south than we do
between that and Herald Island, and there is always
a strong current setting to the northwest between
those localities, unless prevented by strong northerly
gales, (for in such shoal water as the Arctic Ocean,
the currents are changed easily by the winds,) which
would indicate that there is a passage in that direction, where the waters pass between two bodies of
land that holds the ice, the one known, the other unknown.
I would add that the southwest cape of this islands
described above, lies seventy-five miles distant from
the Asiatic or Siberian coast.
Gko. W. Raynoe,
Yours very truly,
Master of ship Reindeer.

Masters of whaleships and shipping agents
are left in the dark in regard to the views of
their owners. Even in the matier of family
letters, it is rather trying and perplexing.
Truth Told in Jest.—Recently a man
called at our office at the Sailor's Home in a
state of intoxication. We urged him to reform his habits and sign the pledge. His
reply was, " Religion is needed for a man to
keep his pledge." Yes, that is the great
requisite. It is the one thing needful. It is
the pearl of great price. Another man with
whom we were conversing at the hospital,
admitted that his temper was bad and his
disposition not good, but, he added, " the
devil will never take away my bad disposition." No, the devil never helped a sinner
to give up his heart to God and reform his
life. An old divinfe once said, "It was the
devil's masterpiece to make a man think well
of himself." We should look to God for
new hearts. David prayed, " Create in me
a clean heart, O God, and renew a right
spirit within me." God, not the devil, will
create within us new hearts and right dispositions.
The Address of W. C. Jones, Esq.—At
the meeting of the Temperance Legion, Mr.
Jones favored the audience with a poetical
address. The subject was "Intemperance,
or the Perverted Will." He depicted in
glowing language the sad fate of one who
had entrusted her earthly happiness to a
young man of wealth, fashion and talent, but
who, alas, was addicted to strong drink. So
much is at stake, we wonder any young
woman dare think of marrying a man whose
character is not firmly established on the side
of total abstinence. Mr, Jones, at some future time, intimates that he will deliver" a
sequel" to this address. He also stated that
he would hereafter deliver seven addresses
upon the various branches of the subject of
intemperance.

Eni'Mßation or Hawaiian Plants. By Horace
Maun. (From the proceedings ol the American
Academy of Arte and Sciences. Vol. VII.. September 11.186b.) Issued July, 1867. Cambridge:
Welch, Bigelow <fc Co. 18JI7.
The first noticeable and note-worthy fact
apparent on taking up this pamphlet is this,
that from the discovery of these Islands in
1778, botanists have been interested in the
Flora of Hawaii. The following paragraphs
relating to some of these botanical explorers
will be interesting to our readers :
During a visit to the Hawaiian Islands,
made for the purpose of studying especially
the Botany of the Group, and which extended
from the 4th of May, 1864, to the 18th of
May, 1865, 1 botanized over five of the largest
of these islands, and brought together a collection which tonns the basis of the following enumeration. In its preparation I have
been permitted to examine the other collections of Hawaiian plants in the Gray Herbarium ; namely, that by the United States
South Pacific Exploring Expedition under
Commodore Wilkes,—the fullest hitherto
made in these islands ; a set of the specimens
gathered by Jules Remy under the auspices
of the Paris Museum, given by that institution ; some of Macrae's plants, given by the
London Horticultural (now Royal Horticultural) Society; and a few of Gaudichaud's,
Chamisso's, Douglas's, and Nuttall's. These
materials, and all his own memoranda upon
them, were freely offered to my use by Professor Gray, without whose friendly encouragement this enumeration would never have
been undertaken, and could not have been accomplished.
The botanists who have collected at the
Hawaiian Islands, so far as known to me, are
as follows:
David Nelson, who accompanied Captain
Cook on his third voyage, and collected at
the Islands in 1778-1779. The plants collected by him are stored at the British Museum, and, excepting a few Labiata, have
scarcely been examined until recently.
Archibald Menzies, a most indefatigable
botanist and collector, visited the Islands
with Vancouver in 1792, 1793, or 1794, or
perhaps in each of these years, and made
large and valuable collections, mostly on Hawaii. Sets of his plants are in the Hookerian,
Smithian, and Banksian Herbaria.
Albert Chamisso accompanied Kotzebue in
the voyage of Romanzoff, and collected principally on Oahu, late in each of the years
1816 and 1817. He published notes and descriptions of new species in the Linncea, in
conjunction with Schlechtendal. Frederick
Eschscholtz was the physician of the expe-
dition.
Charles Gaudichaud, as botanist of the expedition under Freycinet, in the corvettes
Uranit and Physicienne, visited the Islands
in August, 1819. He returned to the Islands on the Bonite in 1836. The results of
his first expedition were published as the
Botanique dv Voyage dc V Uranie, in 1826
(a* on title-page, but really not appearing till
1830,) in 1 vol. 4to, with a folio atlas. Of
the collections of the second visit a few plates
of Hawaiian plants appeared in a folio atlas
(Bat. Voy. Bonite, bearing no date), without
descriptions, or any clew to localities. The
lower Cryptogams were elaborated and in
part figured by the late Dr. Montngne in the
same work.
James Macrae collected for the London
Horticultural Society, in Brazil, Chili, and
the Hawaiian Islands, which last he visited
in 1825. His specimens were mainly distributed to the herbaria of Bentham, Hooker,
Lindley, and Dc Candolle.
Messrs. Lay & Collie, who accompanied
Captain Beechey during the Voyage of the
Blossom, visited the Islands in 1826-1527,
and made the collections which formed the
basis of the botany of this voyage by Hooker
and Arnqjt.
Francis Julius Ferdinand Meyen accompanied Captain W. Wendt, on the Prussian
vessel Princess Louise,'aml visited these islands in 1831. After his death, descriptions
of species collected by him were published as

There is no work connected in any way
with Japan or its language that has been
published since the opening of the country
that we have felt more pleasure in welcoming, than that, the title of which heads this
article. It has long been known to many of
our readers that Dr. J. C. Hepburn has been
engaged for years in collecting materials lor
a Japanese dictionary ; and the announcement that we are now able to make, that the
work is procurable at Mr. Carroll's, No. 38
Water Street, and that the price is fixed as
low as $12, will be received with great satisfaction. It is a very excellent specimen of
getting up, in all respects ; and the first part,
the Japanese-English portion, comprises 558
pages,—the Japanese words in small capitals.
Katakana and in Chinese characters; the
second part being " an index of Japanese
equivalents for the most common English
words." Of the general correctness of the
work, we must acknowledge ourselves incompetent to express an opinion ; but should
there be any inaccuracies, which is not improbable in a work comprising 20,000 Japanese words, we know they have not crept in
for want of, but in spite of the greatest possible care, industry and zealous study. Did
we presume to recommend the Dictionary to
our readers, we should perform a work of
supererogation. It is sufficient to announce
its appearance and the place of publication.
We most heartily congratulate Dr. Hepburn
on the completion of his work; and whilst
we feel pretty sure that the sale of it will be
such as to repay him for the labor of some
of the best years of his life, he will be far
more highly remunerated by the consciousness that he has placed within the reach of
all students the means of wonderfully facilitating their acquisition of the language, and
that his name will ever hereafter be associated in the minds of scholars, with such
men as Morrison, Gutzlaff and others who

ica, closed his most important explorations by
a visit to the Hawaiian Islands, which he
reached in the last week in the year 1833.
He immediately went to Hawaii, where he
collected until the 12th of May, when he met
a violent death on the flanks ofMauna Kea.
His collections are mainly in the herbaria of
the Royal Horticultural Society, and of
Hooker, Bentham, and Lindley.
Barclay was botanist on the Sulphur, commanded by Sir Edward Belcher, and visited
the Islands in 1837 or 1839.
Rev. John Diell was American Seamen's
Chaplain at Honolulu, and sent small collections to Prof. Asa Gray, which he communi-
cated to Sir W. J. Hooker.
W. D. Brackenridge and Charles Pickering made almost all the botanical collections
on the United States South Pacific Exploring Expedition, under command of Charles
Wilkes, at least those at the Hawaiian Islands, which were visited in 1840. The Polypetala? were published in full in the Botany
of the Expedition by Gray, who has also published new species of Monopetalas in Vols.
IV., Y. and VI. of the Proceedings of this
Academy. But few of the Apetals have yet
been noticed. The Ferns, by Brackenridge,
were published as a separate volume of the
Botany of the Expedition ; but nearly the
whole of the edition was destroyed by fire
Another partially published volume comprises
the Mosses by Sullivant, the Lichens by
Tuckerman, and the Alga 3by the late Professors Bailey and Harvey.
Nuttall visited the Islands in 1835, from
the Northwest Coast, and made a small collection. Most of his specimens are in the
Hookerian Herbarium; a few probably in
that of the Philadelphia Academy. He published notes and descriptions of some Hawaiian Composite, Lobeliacea and Vaccinieee in
the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society.
Jules Remy went to the Islands under the
auspices of the Paris Museum, and made a
fine collection in the years 1851-1855.
William Hillebrand, a physician resident
in Honolulu, has recently sent interesting
collections to Kew, among them a new genus
of Begoniacea, which Professor Oliver has
named after its discoverer.

Mr. Mann has enumerated in his catalogue
667 different species of plants, under the
various genera well known to botanists. A
portion of this document is occupied with
minute descriptions of Hawaiian Lichens, by
Edward Tuckerman. To all scientific persons this work of Mr. Mann will prove interesting. We suppose that very soon Mr.
Brigham will publish the results of explorations in another department of natural history. Geology, we believe, was Mr. Brigham's speciality.

have labored similarly.
The object of Dr. Hepburn, however, is
but half obtained. He commenced this work,
not merely and solely to place a dictionary
in the hands of his countryman and others
who would study Japanese, but as a preliminary to his own thorough mastery of the
language that he might do his great Master's
work as a missionary, by lending his aid in
the translation of the Scriptures into Japan-

Paris Exposition.
Hliiiklduki., Germany, August, 1867,
Mr. Editor :—You ask me to describe the
great Paris Exposition but by this time
your readers have doubtless seen so many
descriptions of it, that another would be useless. I use the adjective great. It is truly
a great exhibition of the arts and industries
of the world. As to magnitude and eclat, it
is all, and even more than I expected. Little
Hawaii is very honorably represented. Two
nice rooms, near the American department,
are devoted to Hawaii. Here are found exhibited with excellent taste, specimens of
;
Hawaiian products.
The departments in the Exposition are so
arranged that one can study the products of
each nation separately, or he can run through
any line of product, comparing that of each
nation with the other. For instance in the
Art Galleries. If you wish to study British
or French or any other nation's art, you may
confine yourself to that particular nation ;
but if you wish to make a comparison of the
paintings of all the nations, you pass straight
on. After a very long time, having gone
around the entire building, you return to
your starting point. 1 found it very interesting to compare different nations in this
way. I could trace well-known national
characteristics, for instance in the single
matter of coloring. Going through again 1
would test national differences in the item of
Jinis/i ; and so on indefinitely. To visit the
Exposition is work. The display is overmost
whelming in its variety and extent.
One thing was made quite evident, viz :
that the different nations of the earth supplement each other. One cannot claim all excellence. Differences of climate, of habits,
Sec., make differences of product. The Exposition is fitted to teach impressively the
natural fraternity of nations.
From Paris I passed through Belgium to
Holland, stopping at Brussels and Antwerp.
Antwerp is surrounded with treasures of art,
particularly Flemish
art. From Brussels we
made au excursion to the battle-field of
Waterloo. Belgium is becoming moderately prosperous now under King Leopold.
Antwerp is rapidly growing to Tie a great
commercial city again, as she was in the
middle ages.
The condition of the peasantry in Belgium
is lamentable. The poor ore very poor.
Even the industrious peasants who have
health and hope to gird them for toil, are in
very poor condition. Hard labor with triand crushing,

standing in English society, one evening
The condition of the poor in Holland, also, dropped into a Methodist church, and was
and a cultivated heart. As to intellectual
is sad. I have often seen women toiling in
the fields. I have even seen them harnessed
to canal-boats and doing a horse's work. Indeed, it is not uncommon. Women act as
sailors on the coasting vessels. Nearly always
a woman is at the helm. Women do most
of the peddling of vegetables, milk, &c, in
the Dutch cities. They push along great
heavily loaded carts, with only the assistance
of a couple of panting dogs.
Holland and Belgium are too small to keep
up separate establishments in Europe. The
expenses of government, the elaborate and
costly fortifications necessary, are more than
they can bear. Then, too, the soil in these
flat countries is not fertile. Much of Holland is sand. Most o( it is but swamp land,
threatened by overflow almost at any moment. One must admire the sturdy Hollander who works so bravely for such slender
results.
From Holland the journey up the Rhine is
Historical memories cluster thickly about the Rhine all the way from
Cologne up to Switzerland. Then the
scenery is attractive. One sees many feudal
castles—most of them in ruins—perching
upon the crags bordering the Rhine. Drachenfels, Stotzenfels, Marksburg, Gutenfels,
Sec., are very picturesque. In the old fortress of Marksburg I saw dungeons cut into
the living rock, into which prisoners used to
be lowered by a windlass. This is one of
the largest and best preserved of the feudal
fortresses on the Rhine. I visited it alone.
The solitariness and gloom were terrible.
Let those who admire the feudal age, and
wish its return, visit some of these old casvery interesting.
tles.
The other day I passed the spot where
Caesar built his celebrated bridge across the
Rhine. The river is very rapid, and it was
a difficult work. Still, 1 doubt whether it
cost Caesar's engineers as much trouble to
construct the bridge as it costs some young
Latin scholars to translate the account of it
in the Commentaries.
Heidelburg is a delightful place. Here is
one of the oldest Universities in Germany.
In the library of the University there is a
large and valuable collection of MS. Among
the rest I noticed MS. of Thucidides and
Plutarch. Here also may be seen several
works of Luther in his own rapid, intense
Sort of handwriting.
The old castle at Heidelburg is a magnificent and mighty ruin. No castle which 1
have yet seen gives such an impression of
might. I hope it will long remain to testify
to remote ages concerning the manners of
feudal limes.
In Heidelburg is the old church to the
doors of which Jerome of Prague affixed his

avowed her determination to unite herself
with the people of God, she found that, if she
did, she must part from all her friends. She
parted from them, and united herself with the
people of God ; and that hymn fell out of the
griefand wounds of her heart. If she had

there,
in Mid-Ocaan.
While sailing on the ocean from port to
port, and traveling on land from place to
place, it has been my privilege to attend
many religious meetings ; but of all, I never
found any of equal solemnity to the one an
account of which I will now relate.
In February, 1860, the good ship Mary
Ogden, Captain Loveland, sailed from Antwerp for New York. Among those on
board was a man who the year before had
been second officer of the ship, but now was
sent home an invalid by the American Consul. He was one who, by Capt. L„ had often been warned of his sinful course ol life,
and entreated to turn and live. All the
counsel was unheeded, and on he went in
rebellion against God; but God can make
the wrath of man to praise llim. On [he
first part of the passage he was indifferent
about his soul's salvation, and thought only
of the sinful enjoyment he would have on
his arrival ih port. But how true are the
words of the poet:
unbelief is sure to err,
" Blind
And scan His work in vain ;
God ia His own interpreter,
And he will make it plain."
How often are man's plans turned by the Di-
vine hand, and it was so in his case. As we
proceeded on our passage he became more
and more restless and uneasy in his mind,
fearing that death might overtake him before
his nrrival in port.
Truly it is said, " the prayers of a righteous man availeth much"—and if two agree
on one thing, and pray in faith for the same,
it shall be granted. Mrs. Loveland, wife of
the master, a truly pious lady, was with us
on the voyage, and, with her nusband, often
in secret called upon the Lord to bless their
labors in the conversion of this man ; and
although God did not immediately answer
their prayers yet they still continued to hold
fast to His promise.
We commenced to experience very rough
weather, and David (for that was his name)
apparently grew weaker from day to day.
Often, with others, I visited him, and endeavored to persuade him to seek the salvation
of his soul. Gradually he became convinced
that he was a great sinner, and soon it could
be said of him, " Behold he prayeth." He
sought, with all his heart, the mercy of God,
and as the answer to prayer did not come
immediately, he began to think he had sinned away his day of grace ; but while on the
borders of despair, he met with the blessed
words of the Lord Jesus, where He declared,
"All things are possible to him that believeth." I do not remember passing by him
from the day of his conviction of sin until he
was 100 feeble to speak, but he would ask
me to pray for him.
On the evening of his death, the Captain,
with several of the crew, held a prayer-meeting in his room. At the close, he was urged
to believe, and to trust wholly in an all-sufficient Savicur, and was left to reflect. His
faith grew stronger and stronger ; —at lIP.
M., he cried out, "I am ready—God has
forgiven me all my sins;" and for an hour,
as he lay on the brink of death, he kept
speaking of the goodness of God in receiving
sinner,.

On the following morning David was buried in liis watery grave, and on the naming

Story,
with a Moral.
A Terrible Bedfellow. —I looked at my
neighbor with considerable curiosity. His
lace indicated a man of not over thirty years—
a period at which men are still young —but
his hair was as white as fresh-fullen snow.
One seldom sees, even on the heads of the
oldest men, hair of such immaculate whiteness. He sat by my side in a car of the
Great Western Railroad, in Canada, and
was looking out of the window. Suddenly
turning his head, he caught me in the act of
staring at him —a rudeness of which 1 was
ashamed. I was about to say words of apology, when he quietly remarked :

was a soldier in the army of India,"
" and, as is often the case with soldiers, 1 was a little too fond of liquor. One
day I got drunk, and was shut up in the
black hole for it. I slumped down upon the
floor of the dungeon, and 1 was just dropping
otT to sleep, when I felt a cold, slimy shape
crawling across my right hand as it lay
stretchofl out above my head on the floor. 1
knew at once what it was—a snake ! Of
course my first impulse was to draw away
my hand; but knowing that if I did so the
poisonous reptile would probably strike its
fangs into me, 1 lay still, with my heart beating in my breast like a trip hammer. Of
course, my fright sobered me instantly. 1
realized all my peril in its fullest extent. Oh,
how 1 lamented the hour that I had touched
the liquor
In every glass of liquor there is
a serpeut; but it does not come to everybody
in the shape it came to me. With a slow,
undulating motion the reptile dragged its
carcass across my face, inch by inch, and
crept down over my breast and thirust its head
inside my jacket. As I felt the hideous
scraping of the slimy body over my cheeks,
it was only by the most tremendous effort
that I succeeded in restraining myself from
yelling loudly with mingled terror and dis-

toward my chin ; but imagine what 1 felt at
my heari, if you can imagine it, as 1 realized
that the dreadful creature had coiled itself
up under my jacket as I lay, and haa seemingly gone to sleep, for it was still as death.
Evidently it had no idea that I was a human
; if it had it would not have acted
in that way. All snakes are cowardly, and
they will not approach a man unless to strike
him in self-defense. Three hours I lay with
that dreadful weight in my bosom, and each
minute was like an hour to me—like a year.

of my life passed
through my memory in rapid succession, as
they say is the case with a drowning man.
I thought of uvy mother, away in old England ;my happy home by the Avon ; my
Mary, the girl I loved, and never expected to
see them more. For no matter how long J
bore this, I felt that it would end in death at
last. I lay as rigid as a corpse, scarcely
daring even to breathe, and all the while my
breast was growing colder and colder wh#re
the snake was lying against it, with nothing
but a thin cotton shirt between my skin and
its. I knew that if I stirred it would strike,
but 1 could not bear this much longer. Even
if I succeeded in lying still until the guard
came, I expected his opening the door and
coming in would be my death warrant all
the same; for no doubt the reptile would seethat I was it man as soon as the light was let
in at the door. At last I heard footsteps approaching. There was a rattling at the lock.
It was the guard. He opened the door. The
snake—a cobra di capello I now saw—darted
up its huge hooded head, with the hideous
rings around its eyes, as if about to strike.
I shut my eyes and murmured a prayer.
Then it glided away with a swift motion and
disappeared in the darkness. I staggered to
my feet and fell swooning in the arms of the
guard. For weeks after 1 was very sick, and
when I was able to be about I found my hair
was white as you now see it. I have not
touched a drop of liquor since."

CONVERTED AT SEA.
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
At the early age of thirteen .years, 1 ran
away from a home hallowed by the presence
and prayers of a godly mother. The character, which hitherto had been so carefully
and prayerfully trained, I now took into my
own hands, to shape nccording to my own
unsanctified notions. Although tender in
years, yet many were the struggles and
chafings of a rebellious heart, already set
against that maternal restraint and influence,
which in after years were the only guide from
a wayward and reckless life.
I was dedicated to God from infancy.
Through the faith of my mother in the covenant, set apart for the gospel ministry, her
prayers and efforts were accordingly directed
to this end ; and daily, as she assembled the
family around the altar for prayer, would she
renew this consecration. But, as I grew up,
a deep and secret purpose took possession of
my heart, that those vows should never be
realized, those prayers never answered. A
minister of the gospel I never Mould be ; and
to secure this end, I determined never to become a Christian, at least as long as my
mother lived. I now began to cast about me,
how to accomplish this. The prayers of my
mother were getting to be too strong for me;
my heart would at times almost give way.
The tender earnest pleading, the copious
tears, the affectionate appeal, the loving
God bless you," with the good-night kiss,
"were
too much lor my rebellious heart to resist. At times I would be melted into tears,
and sob myself to sleep, yet determined never
to yield, for, for me, to become a Christian
was to become also a minister; and this 1
had vowed never should be. I loved my
mother, but hated God and His truth.
To deleat my mother's purposes and to secure the success of my own, became now the
ruling thought of my life; how to accomplish
this was my daily meditation. I was at this
time visiting a brother in Connecticut.
I thought the time had now come to put
into execution a plan which I had been for
months maturing. This was to go to sea,
and that against the known wishes of my
mother and friends. I did go; and Boston
was my port of departure.
I soon found, however, that escaping from
the pretence of my mother was one thing, but

to escape from her
and men, as many as would engage in this
service. He always made one stipulation
with every officer and man whom he shipped ;
this was, that they should not swear while
on his vessel. If they would not comply
with this they could not sail with him. 1
afterward learned that this captain was very
successful, making better voyages than many
of those who did not observe the Sabbath, and
that he was a perfect disciplinarian, all his
men loving him. This was the first and only
Christian sailor whom I met with during my
eight years of seafaring life.
We stayed but a short time on board ;
and, upon leaving, my captain invited Captain S. to visit our ship on the morrow, if we
should be in sight. God, in His providence,
meant that this visit should be made, for He
had purposes of mercy toward some of us.
He sent a dead calm that night, so that in
the morning the two ships were in plain sight
of each other. Captain S. came on board in
the morning, and, a breeze springing up, we
sailed in company that day. My position in
the ship was such as to give me a place in
the cabin, and of course I heard what passed
in conversation, although not a party to it.
, proMy captain, whose name was H
duced his wines and cigars to entertain Captain S., but Captain S. politely yet firmly,
refused to indulge in these things, saying it
was against his principles. •' Why,'' says
Captain H., " what sort of a man are you ?
You don't sail your ship on Sunday, you
don't drink, you don't swear; how do you
manage to enjoy yourself ? Why, I should
die if I couldn't have something to drink and
plenty of tobacco; and, as for swearing, that
is my prerogative. I shipped to do the swearing on this vessel, and I mean to do it."
"Well," said Captain S., "I did the same
for many years ; but I have seen both the sin
and folly of such a course, and am now trying to live a different life." Captain ft.
looked at him inquiringly, as much as to say,
how did this strange thing happen ?
Captain S. continued : " When I sailed
from New Bedford, a few years ago, I was a
very wicked, cruel man. I shipped as my
cabin-boy a lad who was an orphan, and even
without family friends, but he was a Sabbath-school scholar; and his teacher came
with him to the ship, and saw him comforta-
bly provided with those things which.are
necessary for so long a voyage as we were
about to make. 1 did not like to have anything to do with those canting religionists,
and therefore did not want to take the boy
at first; but he was very anxious to go, and
was withal a very bright, active-looking boy.
"Before we sailed, Eddie's teacher brought
him a little library of tracts and some singing books ; and, before leaving him for the
last time, she took him into his little room
(which was in the cabin), and most earnestly
commended him to God in prayer, and then
charged him to stand up for his Saviour's
honor on board the ship. I regretted having
taken the boy on board, as I foresaw I was
likely to have trouble with him ; but 1 concluded to swear him down. We were out but
a few days when I discovered something
which annoyed me very much. For several
evenings, during the 'dog watch,' I had heard
a strange sort of singing forward among the
men; and, having occasion to go forward

FiajtAhf eiIslands.
rs
These beautiful islands are among the most
valuable in the broad" Pacific. They were
thoroughly explored and surveyed by Wilkes,
and the description is to be found in volume
Hid. of the United States Exploring Expedition. The situation of these islands is very
convenient and important. There are many
fine harbors, and easy of access, where ships
can even now procure fresh provisions and
good water in abundance. They are on the
highway from China round Cape Horn, or
the Cape of Good Hope, for Australia or for
South Ameriea ; while the road to Australia from South America lies close along their
western shore.
The present King is Thakombau, about
50 years of age. His Majesty thus writes
his name, Cakabau. He is a son of Tanoa,
so conspicuous during the visit of Wilkes.
The islands are divided into seven districts,
each having its chief. Two districts do not
acknowledge Cakabau's authority. In May
last Cakabau was crowned King by foreigners und his chiefs, who are loyal. In 1853,
Cakabau and his chiefs renounced cannibalism, plurality of wives, the strangling of
widows at their husbands' death, and the
clubbing and eating of prisoners. These salutary reforms were brought about under the
direct influence of the Wesleyan missionaries, who have been laboring there about
thirty years. The islanders have advanced
to about that state of Christianity and civilization that prevailed at the Sandwich Islands
thirty years ago.
From Capt. Stanley, commander of the
United States steamship Tuscarora, we have
learned some very interesting facts respecting the present state of affairs at those islands. He was sent thither to settle certain
claims due Americans from the King. The
sum total of the claims (varying from one to
ten thousand dollars) amounted to $65,000.
Upon examination, these were reduced to
$43,564. with interest at six percent. Some
he founjl te be exorbitant, and others un-
founded.
On his arrival, according to an old precedent acknowledged as sound by king, people and foreigners. Capt. Stanley, as the
commander of a man-of-war, was appealed to,
to sit as umpire, or judge, who should settle
difficulties between natives and Americans.
According to previously decided cases, his
decisions must be final, and without appeal.
Acting in this capacity, he adjudicated in
many cases brought before him. In one case,
for example, an American brought a case
against natives for stealing. The case having been heard, he decided that the natives
should restore what was stolen, or its value.
This was done. When the criminals (there
were three of them) were arraigned for sentence, each one was brought in separately
and asked what punishment should be given
them. One said, "that he should be flogged,
but not as much as the others, because he
was the oldest of the three. He had lived
an honest man, and correction was not so
necessary for an old man as for a young
man." Another said, " that he ought to be
flogged, but not as much as the others, for he
wai the youngest, and the custom of Fiji was
for young people to be ruled by the old people. He only did what the old man told
him." The other said, "he ought to be
flogged, but not as much as the other two,
for they had rank, and he was only a poor
slave." This was a case of special pleading
worthy of a Philadelphia lawyer. They were
willing to make restitution. Shortly after
the natives in turn brought up this same
American for whipping a petty chief, who
would not work according to agreement. So
aggravated were the facts, that the American
was fined $750, or one-half of his entire property. In one case the King demurred about
carrying out a certain decision, which would
put a foreigner in possession of a small island.
He was told by Capt. S. that he had power
on board his ship to enforce the decision.
His Majesty had the good sense to execute
the law, or enforce the decision.
So much did Capt. Stanley's decisions
meet the views of the King and people, that
he was made umpire between other foreigners and the native government and people.
King Thakombau has gone so far in admitting
foreigners to influence him in his government, that a written constitution has been
published. It contained an article in favor
of slavery, which Capt. Stanley persuaded
them to erase. Capt. Stanley, originating
from North Carolina, and remaining loyal
during the late war, was urgent and bold in
his opposition to the principle of slavery
among the Fijians. The constitution goes
into effect in January next, when every male
inhabitant, eighteen years old and upwards,
must pay an annual tax ofJive dollars.
The American Consul atTiji is Dr. Bower,
who figured in Mexico during the Mexican
war, while the British Consul, Capt. Jones,
lor eminent services during the Crimean war,
was promoted from the ranks. These are
the only Consuls officiating there.
Capt. Stanley speaks favorably of the
English Wesleyan missionaries laboring
among the people. About one hundred Americans have settled on the islands, and about
three hundred foreigners of other nationalities. The islands are favorable for the growth
of cotton (Sea Island), sugar and cocoanut
oil. Lands are rapidly passing into the hands
of foreigners. Deeds registered at either of
the Consulates are acknowledged good. All
land purchases pay \ per cent, for registering title at the office of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, by the constitution which goes
into effect on the first of January next.
A gentleman from the State of New York
by the name of St. Johns acts as His Majesty's Minister of Foreign Affairs. The King
finds it best to act as his own Minister of
Finance. He is not particular to report to
his chiefs and people tne state of his finances.
Ban is the capital. Levuka, island of Ovalau, is the port where the Consuls reside,
and where ships discharge and receive cargoes.
The rumor is rife'at the islands that some
years ago, when the question of the sover-
eignty of the islands was about to pass over
England, negotiations were stopped in
consequence of the Wesleyan Missionary
Society's strong opposition to an English
Colonial Bishopric. The Wesleyans believed
in kings, but not in bishops of the English
Church.
Capt. Stanley asserts that the only disturbing element at Fiji is an unhappy war,
now carried on by the King of Tonga, King
George, in which he is striving to conquer
the Fijis, wholly or in part. He does not
hesitate to say that in his opinion, the missionarirM favor King George's scheme of conquest. The influence of the Wesleyans is
all-powerful at the Tonga Islands, having
King George at their head. In Capt. S.s
opinion, the influence of the Catholic missionaries at both of those groups is very
weak, and possesses but little influence.

Many of our readers on glancing at this
caption, or heading, will associate Earl of
Derby's name with Homer's Iliad, inasmuch
as his Lordship has recently published a most
excellent translation of that old Greek poem,
Homer's Iliad. But the reader will doubtless
ask. what have Hawaiian geese to do with
either Homer's Iliad or the Earl of Derby I
We answer that, after finishing his translation of Homer, he has since published an
essay " on the Breeding of the Sandwich
Island Goose." This fact we learn from M.
Martin's "Catalogue D'ouvmges, relatifs aux
lies Hawaii," recently published in Paris.
In that publication we find the following entry
on psge 75 : " Stanley (Earl of Derby! on
the Breeding of the Sandwich Island Goose."
(Proceedings of Zoological Society, London.
Vol. 11., page 41.)
A fact like this is worthy of being published in Disraeli's Curiosities of Literature.
The Earl of Derby is well known to be immersed in the current politics of England.
He is a leading and prominent politician, vet
he finds ample time to publish a most excellent poetical translation of Homer's Iliad, in
XXIV. books. It is a translation, in point
of literary excellence, far surpassing the celebrated translation of Pope. That was rather
a paraphrase, but this is a genuine transla-
tion. Now the idea seems (juite strange,
and almost unaccountable, that the politician
and translator of the Iliad should have found
time or possess the inclination to prepare a
scientific essay mi " Breeding the Hawaiian
Goose." How was he to learn we had any
geese meriting the name Haioaiian t Dr.
Hillcbriind informs us that we have a species
of goose peculiar to those Islands, and found
in no other part of the world. He moreover
informs us that Douglas, the naturalist, procured and sent to England specimens of Hawaiian geese, which were presented to some
nobleman, and for aught we know, the Earl
of Derby was the personage. Douglas met
a violent death on Hawaii May 12th, 1534.
We are not aware as a copy oC this essay is
to be found upon the Islands, but we hope
ere long to read it.

THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 18 67.
Homer's Iliad and. Hawaiian Legends.
The theory of Dr. Rae that the Hawaiian
language is an older language than the ancient Greek, vvus received by the generality
of newspaper readers with no small amount
of incredulity. The celebrated philologist,
Max Miiller, is far from treating this idea as
unworthy of consideration, as the readers of
his second course of lectures are aware.
There are many points of similarity between Polynesians and the Greeks in the
days of Homer. We refer now to their similar methods of composing songs to be sung
or rehearsed in honor of great, heroic and distinguished warriors, kings, giants and demigods, and goddesses.
Among classical writers and students it
has long been a disputed point, whether the
traditionary statement was true that the
writings or poems of Homer could have been
preserved and handed down for two hundred
years and more before they were committed
to writing. Many have asserted that this
was utterly impossible, for the human memory was inadequate to the Herculean task.
The XXIV. books of Homer's Iliad contain
in the original Greek 15,668 lines, and the
Odyssey nearly as many more. It has been
pronounced impossible for poems containing
:>0,000 lines to be thus preserved, while it
has been thought quite incredible for the
original composer to perform the task. This
may appear somewhat incredible to modern
scholars, surrounded with their text books,
lexicons, dictionaries, and numerous other
helps. But has not the memory suffered in
consequence of these very helps ?
As an interesting fact bearing upon this
subject, it is well known that prior to the reduction of the Polynesian dialects to written
forms and the introduction of printing, there
was a vust amount of traditionary lore among
the people which had been handed down
from generation to generation. Songs or
poems of no inconsiderable length were carefully preserved and rehearsed. Recently the
Rev. Mr. Andrews informed us that he had
copied out one of six hundred lines, and
many more were still uncopied. Some months
since wc forwarded a large blank book to Mr.
Lawson,an Englishman long resident on the
Marquesas Islands, who returned it filled with
Marquesan legendary and historical songs, or
meles. What is true of Hawaiians and Marquessus is still more true of Tnhitians, Samoitns and New Zealanders. The Rev. Mr.
Kllis notices similar facts respecting the ancient songs and traditions svavnckf the inhabitants of Madngascnr, which have been

branch of the great Polynesian family inhabiting the many islands lying in th" Indian
and Pacific oceans, from the eastern shores
of Africa to the western coasts of North and

poems of New Zealanders. The younger

Wurtemburg, with the rest of Southern
Germany, has been so fortunate as to keep
out of the clutches of Prussia. Hanover,
Nassau, Hesse Cassel, and the free city of
Frankfort, you know, have been absorbed.
The Germans, north and south,are advocates
of a united Germany; yet all (except the
Prussians proper) dislike the iron rule of
Prussia. From Hanover, the King has fled
to Vienna, and some of the chief men of
Hanover have been seized and taken to Berlin, where they are incarcerated. At Frankfort, one of the wealthiest cities in Germany,
there is great dissatisfaction with the increase

Catalogue of Williams College.
We rejoice to learn from this publication
that " Old Williams " is still in a most flourishing condition. The Faculty is composed
of ten Professors, besides President Hopkins,
who is accounted one of the most able Presidents ; perhaps no one stands higher among
the college presidents in the United States.
At present there are one hundred and ninety-one under-graduates, and among them we
recognize three names belonging to the Islands, viz: among the Seniors, Sanford B.
Dole, of Koloa, and William E. Rowell, of
Waimea ; and among the Juniors, Oliver P.
Emerson, of Waialua, Oahu. Of late years
the Islands have sent forward to this institution a number of promising scholars, who
have successfully competed with American
youth.
There is one feature of this catalogue which
appears peculiar. We refer to the large number of secret societies organized among the
�ander-graduates. There are the fallowing :
The " Kappa Alpha," the Sigma Thi,"'the
"Chi P«," the "Alpha Delta Phi," the
" Delta Psi," the " Delta Kappa Epsiton."
Besides these secret societies, there are the
"Adelphic Unitm," " Philologian," Philo"
(echnian,"
" Mills' Theological Society,"
-
Williams Art Association," " Williams In"strumental
and Glee Club."
Among the students there are a number of
athletic societies, viz: "Williams College
Base Ball Club," " Ironsides Base Ball Club,"
" Live Oak Base Ball Club," " The Nines
of Sixty-nine." Then, too, the young men
have their "Glee" clubs, "Chess" clubs,
besides several other associations with strange
cabalistic devices and mottoes. Really we
never read of an institution so remarkably
blessed with societies, secret and open, literary and social. Among our professional men
on the Islands, Williams College has a large
representation : Chief Justice Allen, the Rev.
Dr. Smith, the Rev. Mr. Corwin, and several
others. We would acknowledge our indebtedness for this catalogue to Messrs. Dole and
Rowell.
Wailuku Valley, Maui.—lf gifted with
either the poet's fancy or the painter's skill,
we should certainly try our abilities upon the
beauties and sublime scenery of Wailuku
Valley. We have often visited the enchanting
region, but each successive visit only enhances the richness and beauty of the spot.
It is as completely surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills and mountain ridges as was
the Happy Valley so beautifully described by
Dr. Johnson, and inhabited by Rasselas,
Prince of Abyssinia. We do not wonder that
the good people of Wailuku never think a
friend has completed his visit until he has
been to a picnic up that valley. We. rejoice
to know that our old school-mate, Mr. Bailey,
who has so long resided at the mouth of the
valley, has become so charmed with the contemplation of the scenery, that he is endeavoring to transfer some of its beauties to the
canvas. Already has he executed two large
landscape paintings which would do credit to
one who had handled the pallet and brush,
and sat before his easelfrom his youth. Any
one with an eye to the sublime and beautiful
may enjoy many a feast as he wanders over
the Sandwich Islands. Photographers, painters and sketchers have as yet only taken a
bird's eye view of the aatural scenery on
these Islands.

The sad effects of intemperance are too apparent to need description. The only safeguard is total abstinence fromall intoxicating
liquors. The temperance cause in the United
States is greatly revived. In England, too,
the friends of temperance are not asleep. The
unhappy position which the majority of pro
fessing Christians have assumed m Great
Britain towards teetotalism is disheartening.
(See the remarks of a correspondent in an
other column.) Evils of drunkenness, how
ever, are so alarming and widespread, that
Christians will not always slumber over tbe

religion.

The Hawaiian Mission from an Episcopal
Stand-Point.
American Church Missionary Society Rooms,
Na 8 Bible House, New York City, June 1,1867.
Rev. 8. B. Treat,
Correspondino Secretary A. B. C. F. M. :
)
J
Reverend and Dear Brother:—You
have thought it worth your while to ask me
to write out, for publication in the Missionary
Herald, the substance of the remarks made
by me, in regard to your Mission in the Hawaiian Islands, at tbe recent anniversary
meeting in behalf of your Board held in this
city. A sense of what was due to you and
your work constrained me to speak on that
occasion as I did. The same feeling now
leads me to comply cheerfully with your re-
quest.
The results of your Hawaiian Mission are
their own best witness, and do not need any
vindication from me. But I felt sure when
I spoke, as I now feel in writing, that appreciative words from a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church would not be ungrateful to you and your constituency. Loving my own church with an undying affection, 1 count myself most faithful to her character and history when I thus publicly and
sincerely congratulate you on the success of
your gospel-work in Hawaii nei, and bear an
honest testimony about it, as I saw it with
mine eyes.
11l health led me, one year ago, to the Hawaiian Islands, and kept me there for four
months. The recollections of that visit are
very fragrant to me. Ido not, however, recull so much the pleasure of a sojourn under
a tropical sky and of a descent into the world's
grandest volcanoes, as the rare privilege of
seeing for myself, what can be done in half a
century, with God's blessing and by missionary zeal, for and with an utterly heathen,
atheistic people. As the contioversy growing
out of the Reformed Catholic Mission—which
is not an undertaking of my own church, but
simply of individual members thereof—had
filled the very air with conflicting stories, 1
resolved to find out for myself, so far as I
could, just what had been done, and what had
been left undone, by your missionaries as
well as by those of the Roman Catholics and
Reformed Catholics. This resolution I sought
to carry out in the fear of God, and for my
own satisfaction as a Christian mat*, and as
an Episcopalian minister. To this end I visited thoroughly the chief islands, nearly every
mission station on the whole group, and so
far as facilities were given roe, all the religious, educational and social institutions. I
attended Sunday and week day services ;
made the personal acquaintance of the major
part of the missionaries of all creeds ; conversed with persons of many professions and
social grades. The deeper I pushed my investigations, the stronger became my conviction that what had been on your part necessarily an experimental work in modern missions, had, under God, proved an eminent
success. Every sun-rising brought me new
reasons for admiring the power of divine
grace which can lift the poor out of the dust
and set him among princes. Every sun-setting gave roe fresh cause to bless the Lord
for that infinite love which enables us to
bring to ourfellow-men such rich blessings' as
your missionaries have bestowed upon the
Hawaiian race. Here I feel bound to say
that I use the phrase " eminent success in
a relative, not in an absolute, sense. All has
not been accomplished that could have been
desired, but more has been done than could
have been expected. Less than half a century is too short a time, as missionary annals
teach us, to complete the process of Christianizing a heathen people. It has been long
enough, in this case, to transfer the whole
race from the despotic sway of heathenism
to the plastic influences of the gospel; and
to mould that race, up to a certain point, after
the pattern of Christ. To me it seemed marvelous, that in comparatively so few years,
the social, political and religious life of the
nation should have undergone so radical and
blessed a change as it has. And 1 would not
have made this limitation were it not that so
many fail to appreciate how far removed
heathenism is irom Christianity, and how
potent must be the power which induces the
abandonment of the one and the embracing
of the other.
"
Looking then at the Kingdom of Hawaii
nei as it to-day has its recognized place
among the world's national sovereignties, 1
cannot but see in it one of the brightest trophies of the power of the Cross; one of the
most gratifying seals set by God upon the
labors of his servants; and one of the strongest encouragements to press our missionary
enterprises into all lands, and to sound the
gospel unto every people. In using these
words of warm commendation, I feel that I
am exalting what the Lord has done for a
people redeemed with his precious blood,
rather than what man has done for a once
degraded race.
Thus far my statements have been very
general. It is proper for me to become as
particular as your limited space will allow,
and to dwell upon some distinct points.
(1.) I would write first of your missionaries, because a mission takes its cast from the
men who begin and carry it on.
I found them to be mostly venerable men,
who had in their early manhood chosen as
theirbridal tour a voyage to the far-off islands
which were best known as the death-place of
Cook. Under a prostrating tropical sun, amid
the trials and deprivations of an island home,
they have toiled for twenty, thirty and fifty
years, until their hair has grown gray and
their grandchildren have gathered about
them. In some cases, the infirmities of age
have laid them aside from active labor, but
in others their vigor and natural force do not
seem to be abated. They have pursued the
aim of lheir lives with a tenacity of purpose,
with a strength of will, and with courageous
heroism which are truly sublime. They won
and still retain the respect, confidence, affection and gratitude of the natives. They led
these from the darkness of heathen degradation to the brightness of Christian life ; and
they still urge to higher attainments the nation whom they have begotten in the Lord.
They now enjoy the rare privilege of seeing
the fruit of their labors abounding on every
side.
Moreover, they have impressed themselves
upon the Kingdom. In every department of
the national life,—civil, religious, social,
they have cut deep their mark. That mark
is one of which they have no reason to be
—
ashamed. What of good there is in the nation is due under God, and in the main, to
them ; what of evil there is remaining lingers
in spite of their unceasing efforts to drive it
out. They have been charged with being
too zealous to make the Hawaiian race "overrighteous," but never with conniving at their
sinfulness. They have made manhood and
womanhood possible. They have taught an
ignorant, and Christianized a heathen people.
They have toiled to make a licentious race
virtuous and to supplant drunkenness with
sobriety. They have given to the nation a
written language, a literature, the Bible and
religion,educational and political institutions
based upon the Word of God and the rights
of men. They brought into a heathen despotism ideas of right and wrong, of justice
and truth, of the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man ; so that wherever 1
turned, 1 found the impress of the plastic
hands of your missionaries.
Men who have done such a work are not
to be spoken lightly of, nor treated with contempt. They have earned our gratitude and
deserve our praise, for what they have accomplished in behalf of one branch of the human
family. That they should have made some
mistakes was to be expected. That they did
not make more and graver ones excites our
wonder. That they have erred sometimes in
their judgments is simply to repeat the experience of their brethren and fellow-men the
world over. That the constant desire of their
hearts, and aim of their minds, has been to
promote the true interests of, and to exalt the
Hawaiian race, no one is bold enough to
deny; so that, looking at the fruit of their
half century's labor, we are constrained to
drop the crown ofhonor upon their heads, as
the fathers and mothers of the nation. And
we may well bow ourselves before that venerable pioneer missionary (taking him as a
representative of his brethren), who yet waits
for the divine summons in a Christian kingdom, which he first looked upon, nearly fifty
years ago, as a repulsive heathen despotism.
1 may venture a step further in this doubtful province of considering personal character, and recall the old adage, that we must
live in the same house with a man before we
can thoroughly know him. Now, as there
are no hotels in the Hawaiian Islands outside
of Honolulu, and as the hospitality of the
missionaries to strangers is very great, there
are abundant opportunities of knowing intimately the character of the missionaries. 1
was received by them, without having any
claim upon them, with affectionate kindness.
I sat at their tables, knelt at their family
altars, went with them to their Sunday and
week-day services, watched their goings-out
and comings-in, and saw them gathered together in their Annual Meeting. I found
them to be genial Christian gentlemen.
Though there were many points of difference
between us, our intercourse was harmonious.
Though I was full of questions, almost impertinent in some of my inquiries about their
work, I soon learned that they had nothing
to conceal, and that they courted investigation of what they had done. Had my mind
been undecided on all other points,—as it
was not,—my confidence and affection would
have been won by the cheerful piety of their
homes. Whatever the world might say of
them, here they were trusted and beloved ;

grieve over much vice, which they are powerless lo prevent. And why ? Because hereditary passions are fostered by foreigners,
many of whom tempt to sin, those whom
they condemn as sinners. The natives may,
perhaps, be best likened to their volcanoes.
In some ofthem the fires of passion rage and
break forth in destroying streams. In others,
they have spent their force, burst out only
spasmodically, and are gradually becoming
extinct. Others still are as peaceful as those
craters where the fires have gone out, and
tke ohias have sprung up and are blooming,
and the birds sing sweetly and dwell safely.
There are two things which mark the
Christian life of the Hawaiians, and are
always indicative of health and vigor. The
first is foreign missionary zeal, and tbe second is a growing native ministry. Your readers are familiar with the history of the Micronesian and Marquesan Mission ns carried on
by Hawaiian missionaries. 1 need here,
therefore, enly refer to it as a proof of the
vitality ef the religion in the Sandwich Islands. But i *Mst not pass by, as I cannot
readily forget, an iaterview which J had with
three native pastors, not far from the deathplace of Cook. They told me how the .Lord
had dealt with them in bringing them to
him ; how he had constrained them to preach
his gospel; how greatly they esteemed the
privilege of ministering to his people ; and
how thankful they were that they resisted
tke werldly advantages offered them in other
vocations, that they might give themselves
wbolly to the service of the sanctuary. They
afe but examples of their brethren, who are
laboring at many stations with success and
fidelity.
Here I must stop. 1 have touched only
the surface of my suhject, but your space and
my time will not allow me to go further. I
have said enough to indicate the triumphs of
the Cross in Hawaii nei. As the white foatni»g billows ofthe Pacific dashupon the black
lava shore of the Islands, so the gospel, as
brought in by your missionaries, has roiled
over the Kingdom, but has not receded as
the surf does. Should I multiply my words,
or contrast their efforts with those ef missionaries of other creeds, theirsuccess would
be mere apparent and marked.
Hawaii nei has become, under your culture, a garden of the Lord. In it are young
and tender plants. That by your continued
care, and the divine favor, they may grow
strong and become as the cedars of Lebanon,
and that your wonk all over the globe may
receive the unceasing blessing of the Lord,
is the prayer ef

Second Visit to the Crater of Haleakala.
Again has it been our privilege to visit and
view this greatest of volcanic specimens. It
stands without its peer among the craters of
the earth. The telescope of Ross makes
known that similar craters are to be found
upon the moon. Our first visit was on the
25th of June, 1847, and our second on the
29th of July, 1867. We could not discover
as twenty years had wrought any material
changes, externally or internally, in the crater's appearance. Great, grand, old Haleakala remains in statu quo. A person having
once ascended its side and looked into its
vast crater, will never forget the impression
made upon his mind. The view once daguerreotyped upon the mind will never be effaced
so long as memory retains its office. No
small amount of the interest derived from
our recent visit was the fact that we '• passed
quite through " an immense bank of clouds
ere reaching the summit. During a short
space of time we were under, among, and
above the clouds. On reaching the brink of
the crater, there was one sensation quite oppressive. We refer to the solemn and pro-
found stillness which reigned in those lofty
regions. The sun shone with meridian
splendor. A quiet pervaded the atmosphere
that was painful. There was not heard the
hum of an insect or the buzz of a fly. Instead of writing a full description of our
present visit, we shall republish some notes
from our journal which appeared in the
Friend of August 12th, 1847, describing our
first visit. We think our readers will be interested in the measurement and statement
of facts copied from the United States Exploring Expedition.

Editor's Journal—June 2bth, 1847. We
started this morning at five o'clock from the
Rev. Mr. Green's station, Makawao. Our
path ted through fields of fennel, which grows
wild and in the most rank luxuriance. I
could not but contrast the abundance of this
herb with the stinted growth of the same, as
it is reared in the flower gardens of the
United States. After riding about two hours
we had passed the woody region. During
the remainder of our ascent only a few tufts
of wild grass, with an occasional shrub, were
to be seen. Our guide in several instances
and we learned
pointed to shrubs,
that such were «andal-wood. The ascent
was extremely tiresome, aJthough the roughness of the way did ns* compel us to dismount from our horses. Ere we reached the
summit, the clouds were at our feet, and we
looked down upon them. The broad side of
the mountain was spread out before us, everywhere strewed with lava rocks, while above
us was the clear blue sky, and the sun, whose
rays would have been most scorching had
we not been favored with a fresh trade-breeze.
At 10 o'clock we reached the cave, about two
miles from the summit, where we partook of
refreshment. Visitors often spend the night
at this spot. It certainly did not hold out
many attractions, and I have good reasons
for believing it already possessed tenants that
would sharply contend for occupancy with
any way-faring and luckless wight who might
find himself there benighted. Their praises
have recently been celebrated in doggerel
rhyme, and their services recommended to
His Majesty by a late visitor on our shores:
If the Kins, wants tmops that won't prove skittish.

And raim* thenation,both hcud, neck anil shoulder,

Instead of kanakas, these veteran jfffos."
—Friend, Nov., 1849.
Another boor's toilsome riding along a
zigzag path brought us to the'rim of the
enormous crater. The first good view of the
immense cavity, many miles in diameter, and
thousands of feet deep, richly rewarded us
for all our toil and trouble. 1 find the crater
thus described in the 4th volume of the
United States Exploring Expedition, 254th
page:
"The crater of Haleakala, if so it may be
called, is a deep gorge, open at the north and
east, forming a kind of elbow. Tbe bottom
of it, as ascertained by the barometer, was
2,783 feet below the summit peak, 2,093 below the wall. Although its sides are steep,
yet a descent is practicable at almost any
part of it. The inside of the crater was ens
tirely bare of vegetation, and from its bottom
arose some large hills of scoria and sand ;
some of the latter are of an ochre-red color at
the summit, with small craters in the centre.
All bore'the appearance of volcanic action ;
but the natives have no tradition of an eruption. It was said, however, in former times
the dread goddess Pele had her habitation
here, but was driven out by the sea, and then
took up her abode on Hawaii, where she has
ever since remained. Can this legend refer
to a time when the volcanoes of Maui were
in activity ? Of the origin ot the name
Mauna Haleakala, or house of the sun, 1
could not obtain any information. Some of
the residents thought it might be derived
from the sun rising from over it to the people of West Maui, which it does at some seasons of the year."
The gentlemen of the Exploring Expedition made the highest peak 10,200feet above
the sea, or a few feet less than two miles.
The limit line ot wood is 6,500 feet. The
crater is at least 8 or 10 miles in diameter,
and ft from the centre to either opening.
This spacious area contains something like
15 craters of no inconsiderable dimensions,
varying from 200 to 600 feet high.
As I sat upon the brink of this most stupendous of nature's work, glancing an eye
into its profound depths, from whence immense quantities of lava must have issued
forth, or extending my vision across the channel, separating Hawaii and Maui, upon tinsnow-capped summits of Mauna Kea and
Mauna Loa, lost in the clouds, these words
of the Psalmist were most forcibly brought
to my mind,
is man, that thou art
" What

mindful of him
thou visitest him ? " It made me feel man's
insignificance, ulthough styled " lord of crea-
�IHK KKItiND, SEPTEMBER, 1817.
Mighty indeed do the works of Jehovah appear, when viewed from an eminence, like the summit of Haleakala, in a
clear day. I wandered along the crater's
brink, alternately looking downward into its
fiery depths and outward upon the immense
ocean of clouds that effectually concenled
from my view the mountains of West Maui.
While thus gratifying the soul with scenery,
vast and sublime, I chanced to espy the fragment of an old newspaper, which proved to
be a number of the Episcopal Recorder, published in Philadelphia. Ths date I could not
learn, but to my surprise, I found the scrap
contained sentiments and remarks not unfitting the spot whither the winds had driven
it. The following is a quotation :
" He who hath measured the waters in the
hollow of his hand, and meeted out heaven
with a span, and comprehended the dust of
the earth in a measure, and weighed the
mountains in scales, and hills in a balance.
He with whom the nations are as a drop of
the bucket, and are counted as the small dust
of the balance ; who taketh up the isles as
a very little thing ;' for whom Lebanon is
not sufficient to burn," nor the beasts thereof
sufficient for a burnt offering;' He has given
them to me. And what have I given in return ? The fragments of my feelings and
the mere shreds of the joyous days and peaceful nights He has bestowed on me."
Never was I more favorably situated to
appreciate the beauty, force and sublimity of
such language, paraphrased from that most
sublime of old Hebrew poets, Isaiah. I was
standing upon one mountain more than
10,000 feet high. At a distance of more
than 50 miles, 1 could see the summits of
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, vicing in height
with the Andes of South America and the
Himalaya ofCentral Asia. The prophet and
poet, Isaiah, represents the Almighty as
weighing the mountains in scales and the
hills in a balance. Far away stretched the
broad Pacific, " majestical, inimitable, vast,"
yet Jehovah measureth the waters in the hollow of his hand. " The isles," what are
they, and how disposed of ? Them He
little thing." But how
" taketh up as a very
doth Israel's God view the nations ? They
as a drop of the bucket, and are counted
"asare
the small dust of the balance."
It is with good reason that the critics regard Isaiah as among the most, if not the
most sublime of either uninspired or inspired
poets. It might with propriety and truth be

We commenced ourdescent about half past
12 o'clock, and safely reached the mission
station at 5 P. M., having been absent just
12 hours. We had traveled between 20 and
and on account of the roughness of
the road, were compelled to walk our horses
nearly the entire distance. Weary and exhausted, we were thrice glad to be kindly
welcomed by our missionary friends. Thus

Editor's Table.
SfcttMON, by the Pastor, Rev. C. C. Salter, on the
Tenth Anniversary of the Plymouth Congregational
Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sunday, April
27th, 1867.
This discourse indicates the rapid changes
which are taking place throughout the great
valley of the Mississippi. It was preached
in one of those thriving towns which arc
springing up in all parts of the valley. Minneapolis is among the most prosperous of the
western or north-western cities. The State
of Minnesota is filling up with an enterprising
and thrifty population. The city of Minneapolis has already ten churches of various
denominations, all of which have been organized within a few years. We never read
newspapers from that part of America but it
quickens our pulse and causes us to anticipate what America is yet to become, when
its boundless prairies and broad acres shall
be fully inhabited and cultivated.

Makawao Female Seminary.—School
examinations on the Sandwich Islands appear to have become a favorite pastime
among the people. During the month of
June there was a succession in Honolulu,
occupying a good part of the whole month.
On our arrival at Makawao, almost the first
announcement we heard was that an examination of Mr. Green's school was soon to
come off. It occurred on the 26th Aug., and
took place at the native church, which was
suitably decorated with evergreens for the
occasion. A fine collation was also prepared
for all present, both foreigners and natives.
We noticed among the spectators from abroad
the Rev. Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Bailey
from Wailuku ; the Rev. Messrs. Parker and
O. H. Gulick from Oahu, together with several foreign ladies. It was an occasion indicative of that noble work now in progress
among Hawaiians—the education of the female portion of the rising generation. This
and sister institutions on Oahu and
Kauai, are doing a good work for this people. We are glad to learn that the Board of
Education extends its fostering care to this
Seminary. Most truly do we congratulate
the patrons, teachers and pupils of this Seminary in the success which has thus far attended their combined efforts. The Rev. J.
Porter Green and wife, Miss Mary Green,
Miss Mary Parker, and Miss Johnson, have
contributed their personal efforts to carry forward this Seminary during the past year.
Under such management success is sure.
We are confident many of our readers
will be interested in the perusal of the letter
addressed by the Rev. F. S. Rising to the
Rev. S. B. Treat, one of the Secretaries of
the A. B. C. F. M. The visit of Mr. Rising
to the Islands will be remembered by many
on all the Islands. We never knew a visitor
who was more diligent in making inquiries
respecting the social, moral, political and religious state of the islanders. During his sojourn he collected a library of books relating
to the Islands, and we doubt not that collection of books at No. 3 Bible House, New
York, is more full upon the Islands than any Transplanting

LetfrSohipmasE
Some of ourreaders are acquainted with
Cspt. Wood, of the ship Oracle, which has
frequently touched at Honolulu on her trips
from San Francisco to China. At last dates
the Oracle was in Liverpool, from which city
Capt. Wood writes under date of May 31st.
He had left the ship.
Since my arrival in this country I have
had" quite a time traveling to and fro ; went
down into Yorkshire to visit the '• tombs of
my father's ancestors," and found some very
remote cousins, who received me very welcomely, and our comparison of family traditions accorded perfectly, while the last link
of proof was afforded me when the girls sang
and played and their fathers, accompanied
with the violin. I was quite interested in
visiting the old church arid examining the
ancient records (as fresh as yesterday) of the
family marriages and baptisms. My friends
spoke good intelligible English, but most of
the folks round spoke a language which 1
should judge to resemble most of all the inscriptions on Cleopatra's Needle or the Nineveh bricks. Thence went to London, and
taking the Dover train, crossed to Calais and
visited some French friends, who by the way
were much grieved that I could not attend
the theatre with them on Sunday. Went
up to Paris and took a hasty survey of the
Exposition Universelle, which 1 was foolish
and green and ignorant enough to admire,
notwithstanding the London Times, and of
course its obedient readers, had condemned it
as an utterfailure in every respect.

I never was in a place that seemed
so much a field for missionary effort, and
that I would suggest to the good people of
the Hawaiian islands that they might well
send from their abundance one or two missionaries to preach the gospel and temperance in Scotland, where they preach the gospel versus temperance. Yet I have never
seen temperance effort more energetic and
persistent than among the small band of
Scotch reformers, as you will, I think, believe from the evidence of the operations of
the League ; but the church in Scotland, as
in England, is the inveterate foe of temperance, and in close alliance with old King
Satan in that respect. A leading church
newspaper, edited by a leading Scotch divine,
lately refused to advertise the publication of
a temperance work for -sale—on religious
grounds; but it regularly advertises whisky,
brandy and beer—on what grounds I don't
know. What do you think now of Dr. Norman McLeod, the champion of the church ?
I think we are apt to be uncharitable nnd unjust in judging harshly the peccadillos of the
Hawaiian Islanders, when we see so much
worse in America and Britain, where people
have had the light of Christianity so many
centuries.

"I almost repented leaving the ship when
I saw her sailing away from Cardiff. I should
like to makaanother trip to Honolulu. Some
of these days I hope to be able to ask you to
come and rusticate with me a month in Vallejo. Cannot do so till I get established there
myself."
Duty to ourselves is the lesson least
attended to.
Mrs. S., lately a resident at Makawao,
on her return to the United States, thus
writes us while on board the Golden City,
June 30th, 1867, one day out from Panama:
" We have on board four missionaries from
China: Rev. A. P. Hopper, of Hongkong;
Rev. E. C. Lord, E. F. Kingdon and wile
(English); Mrs. Holmesand child, of Shanghaej and Rev. S. R. Brown and wife, of
Yokohama, Japan. They were eight years
in China before going to Japan. Mr. B.
built a very nice house in Yokohama a few
years ago, which was burnt a week or so be-
fore their sailing. They lost thereby some
valuable translations. They are taking their
daughter home to school, intending to return
in a year or so. Mr. B. is not permitted, as
you doubtless know, to hold public meetings,
but several come to read the Bible with him
at his house. He tells me that he is very
hopeful of Japan now, and never felt more
encouraged. Although the Japanese, individually, are obliged to register their names
as belonging to some heathen temple, in order
to enjoy the privileges of the land, still they
are hopeful the law may be abolished, and
that their labors may be carried on more
openly.
"All the China passengers —some fifty in
number—regret not being able to stop at the

Wood, an account of whose wreck I read in

just in from China, her husband having died
on the voyage. The vessel had a large number of Chinamen on board. They got short
of water, and the mate made a mistake, taking them past San Francisco. There was
no getting back ; so after beating about, put
into Santa Cruz. She has a long tale to
tell, thinking no woman ever had so much
trouble, but I think the wife of the master of
the Lubra had much more, whose letter you
published. This Mrs. Howe reports the lady
just referred to as dead. Our China passengers are from the Colorado, and speak very
highly of her officers and crew, and of their
fare generally, but all so greatly regret not
being able to touch at the Islands."
A Hebrew Government. —A form of govestablished in 1864 by the
Israelites resident in the United States, for
the purpose of guarding the.race in America.
This organization has been in regular operation ever since its establishment, but so exclusively hsfe its doings been confined to
the affairs and circles of those immediately
interested, that the public at large hasknown
very little of its existence." The business of
this government has now grown so important
that the executive is about to call for loans,
and issue bonds, in the name of the Israelitish government. This organization is intended to co-operate with similar associations
in other parts of the world, the grand object
being a furtherance of the favorite and traditional Jewish idea, that the whole race of
Israelites will be ultimately gathered together
ernment was
in the land of their forefathers. Then they
believe the temple of Jerusalem will be rebuilt, preparatory to the coming of ihe Messiah, to vindicate the truth of the religious
belief to which the Jews have adhered tenaciously for so many centuries. The whole
number of Jews scattered abroad throughout
the world is estimated at six millions.—New
York Times.
Books for Japan.—We copy the following from a late number of the New York
Observer :
" The Japanese Commissioners now at
Washington have ordered, through the publishers, Messrs. Ivison, Phinney, Blakeman
& Co., of this city, the following books, which
are to be forwarded immediately for the instruction of the Japanese: 2,300 Webster's
school dictionaries; 4,000 Sander's readers
and spellers; 10,000 Spencerian copy books;
800 Kerl's English grammars ; 700 D. A.
■Well's scientific text books ; also Prof. Asa
Gray's Botanies, Parley's Universal History,
Riddle's Astronomy, Hitchcock's Anatomy,
Goodison's drawing books, Colton's geographies, etc., etc., making some 20,000 volumes in all. Surely another day is dawning upon the world, in thfcultivation of such
relations between two nations once so far
apart in every respect."
Surely another day has dawned since the
month of December, 1850, when John Manjero came to our sanctum, and we consulted
together respecting the most feasible plan for
him to return to his native country. For ten
years he had been an exile, spending most of
his absence from Japan with Capt. Whitfield, of Fair Haven, Mass., where he received a good common school education.
Without now stating particulars, our plans
were successful. John Mangero returned via
the Loochoo Islands. Having taken with
him a copy of " Bowditch's Navigator," he
translated it entire, together with the logarithmic tables, into the Japanese language.
A copy of that translation we have now in
our possession. (See Friend for June, 1860.)
At our latest advices from Japan Manjero
was in command of a Government vessel.

Hawaiian Quarterly.—We notice in the
Saturday's issue of the Commercial Advertiser tbat Henry M. Whitney, Esq., proposes
to publish a Quarterly under the title of the
Spectator." A better name could
"notHawaiian
have been fixed upon. The old " Spectator " in two short years of its existence,
acquired a fame and character which the
third of a century has not dissipated or obliterated. There is a field for such a publication, and talent sufficient upon the Islands
for conducting it. There are a rising continually questions of grave importance, which
require more discussion and elucidation than
can be afforded in the columns of a weekly
paper.- We fondly hope such a publication
will call forth a higher order of literary talent among foreign residents upon the Islands.
Gladly we copy the following prospectus, and
shall do all in our power to render it a success.

Feathesed Votyagers.-When the bark Mercury,
Captain Tooker, sailed from New Bedford, July 20,
1863, the agent, at the captain's request, put on
board two pigeons, a male and female. Both stock
by the ship, making occasional excursions, when in
port, both in San Fruucisco and the Sandwich Islands,
with their feathered friends, but always returned at
nightfall to their dove cote on board. Three seasons
they passed at the North, experiencing during their
travels all the varieties of climate, and seeing more
wenders than the doves which voyaged with Noah.
On the passage home, when near port, a squab was
added to the family, and two days out the mother
pigeon was washed overboard and drowned. The
surviving parent, however, exercised the maternal
care over the young, and both reached New Bedford
during May, in safety.—Adn.

Monument to Kamehameha III.
Why do not the flimuit ef Kamehamtha 777.—
the" Good erect an enditrhii/ monument in marble to
— —
him something which will be as enduring as that in
the hearts of all who knew him and his noble deeds ?''
We copy the foregoing paragraph from a
private letter to the editor, written by J.
Hunnewell, Esq., of Boston, and dated Boston, April 29, 1867. This suggestion strikes
us favorably, and we should be glad to see it
carried out. We are confident if the project
was fairly undertaken, it would be consummated in a style becoming a grateful people.
There is a vague idea floating in our mind
that some years ago, a subscription for this
object was started, and several hundred dollars collected. Will not some one give us
information upon this subject, if such a project was undertaken ?
Let no one imagine that we entertain visionary and impractical ideas upon this subject. We do not call for thousands and tens
of thousands, but a moderate sum of one or
two thousand dollars would suffice, if no
more could be collected. The idea has been
suggested that no more suitable monument
could be erected than a drinking fountain,
surmounted with a bust of his late Majesty.
It has also been suggested that this fountain
be located in the triangular open lot near the
Stone Church, where King and Punchbowl
streets intersect. If any one has a better or
more feasible project, let him suggest it. Will
not some of our skillful architects visit the
spot, and then embody the idea of a fountain,
combining the ornamental and useful, the
beautiful and the practical ? O all ye lovers
of constitutional liberty in this nation, think
of this, and then honor the memory of the
King who enfranchised his serfs, granted a
Constitution to his subjects, and gave a feesimple of the land to the common people. Is
not such a King worthy of a monument ?
Books, Books.—We cannot say that we
read all the advertisements of every newspaper which chances to fall under our inspection, but we do confess a fondness for that
species ofliterature. We also confess a fondness for catalogues of books, and of schools
and colleges. In late numbers of the Commercial Advertiser, Mr. Whitney has published a list of books which he offers for sale.
It occupies a column or more, and in our estimation is as well worthy of perusal as much
other matter which finds a place in newspapers. Readers of all tastes and fancies can
find some books in that list suited to their
minds. As long as we have no'public liurary
in Honolulu, we are glad that Mr. Whitney
keeps constantly on hand a supply of books,
old as well as new.
Photographs of Scenery on Kauai.—Mr.
Valentine, who has been engaged during the
last few months in photographing scenes on
the island of Kauai, left in the Murray for
San Francisco. Before sailing he disposed
of his negatives to Messrs. Crabb and Meek,
who are now prepared to furnish sets or single views. Some of these are very fine, and
well worthy of the attention of the friends of
the beautiful art of photography.

The Millennium.
1.
For the Friend.
First, the faithful publication
Of the Gospel of the Son
Must be made to every nation
Ere the glorious end shall come.
2. And its wonder-working leaven
Must transform with mighty power.
Ere glarl voices shall from heaven
Shout the advent of that hour.
3. Then the Saviour's reign millennial
Shall, to bless our world, appear ;
Lo ! a river"s stream perennial
Shall God's holy city cheer!
4. To False Prophet and Beast Papal
None shall bring their offerings then.;
For the Lord's blest tabernacle
Shall forever be with men,
5. More increased their joy for sadness
Than in time of corn and wine!
Lo! with cheerful feasts and gladness,
Dow all nations at His shrine!
6. The rapacious wolf and leopard
Then shall dwell with kids and lambs,
And shall kindly act the shepherd
In the absence of their dams.
7. Side by side upon the heather
Both the cow and bear shall feed;
And their young lie down together—
Them a little child shall lead.
8. Yea, the lion change his diet,
And for flesh eat straw and hay;
And the wearied child, in quiet
On tbe serpent's den shall play.
9. Thus the Prophets wo rely on—
Speaking with prophetio ken
Great thine horror, then, 0 Zion t
Great thy peace, Jerusalem!

New Book by Rev. W. Ellis.
Revtsitkd, describing the Event of a
New Boign, and the Kevulution whioh followed.
By the $ev.mW. Ellu, (p. SOi) London John
Madaqascak
Murray.
:
This is the title of the new volume written
by Mr. Ellis upon Madagascar. In the London Friend for January 1, 1867, we find the
following extracts, which we are confident
many of our readers will peruse with interest. His previous book on Madagascar was
entitled "Three Visits," Sec., during 1853,
1854, 1856. Since that time there has been
one terrible persecution, which the reader
will find described in the following paragraphs. In that volume the author, after relating his departure from the capital in 1856,
remarks in reference to the legal status of
Christianity :
The laws against the Christian religion
are" not repealed, and may, for purposes to us
inscrutable, be allowed by the all-wise and
all-merciful God to be again enforced."
Before this remark was printed, or probably written, a storm of persecution as fierce
and sanguinary as any which they had suffered burst upon the Christians. As this
storm, though not arising in the first place
from political causes, was doubtless intensified by them, we include in our extract the
resume of these given in the work :
Twelve months before my visit in 1856,
M. Lambert, a French trader, or planter,
from Mauritius, visited Antananarivo, expressed much sympathy with the Christians,
and gave them some relief. He also with
M. Laborde, a Frenchman long resident in
the country, entered into a kind of agreement
with the prince to attempt the change above
adverted to [to set aside the queen, and place
the prince upon the throne.] In furtherance
of this object, M. Lambert had visited France
and England, proposing to their respective
governments to send out troops to effect this
change in the sovereignty of Madagascar.
His proposal, however, had been refused, and
he had been recommended to seek the improvement of the country by extending commercial intercourse, rather than by attempting a revolution.
Early in 1857 M. Lambert returned to
Antananarivo, accompanied by Madame Ida
Pfieffer, whom he had met at the Cape of
Good Hope. They were received in the
most friendly manner by the Government,
and although the attempt to obtain force from
France and England had failed, Messrs.
Laborde and Lambert, in association with the
prince, and relying on some of the officers
and troops said to be favorable to their object, determined to attempt its accomplishment. It was proposed to seize the palace
by a sort of coup d'etat, arouse the city by
the firing of cannon, proclaim the prince
king, and force the queen to retire, retaining
her titles, her liberty, and the undisturbed
possession of all her property. Before any
opportunity occurred for executing this plan,
the prince withdrew, and endsavored to persuade the Frenchmen to relinquish the attempt. But they appear to have thought
they might still succeed. At length, a month
or so after their first movement in this business, the queen having heard of the proceedings of the French, returned all the presents
which M. Lambert had brought out, and
sent officers with her orders, declaring that
in consequence of their treasonable attempts
to change the Government, and their having
encouraged the Christians, &c., M. Lambert,
M. Laborde, and other French gentlemen,
the priests, and Madame Pfieffer, were to
leave the capital forthwith, under an escort
to Tamatave, and were to depart from the
country by the first ship. They set out the
next morning, but were more than fifty days
on the journey, and suffered from fever,
which was probably intended to be part of
their punishment.
More than a month before the sentence of
expulsion pronounced against the French, a
traitor among the Christians accused a number of them of being Christians, and practicing Christian worship. His name, which
he has since changed, was then Katsimandisa. He had been educated by the former
missionaries, and had associated with the
Christians, though I never heard that he had
suffered in any of their persecutions. He
wrote out a list of the names of the principal
Christians in the capital, and gave it to one
of the officers to deliver to the queen. The
officer, before delivering the paper to the
queen, took it to the prince, who instantly
destroyed it. The queen was, nevertheless,
soon informed that there were a number of
Christians in the capital; and on the 3d of
July, 1857, a Kabary was delivered, requiring all who had been guilty of any act of
Christian worship to come and accuse themselves, as in such case the punishment might
be diminished. Few, if any, did so ; a number fled, and the soldiers and others were
sent to scour the country in all directions in
search of the Christians, whom they were ordered to seize and bring bound to Antananarivo. All parties testify to the unremitted
endeavors of the prince and the commander-
in-chief to intercept accusations against the
Christians, and prevent the capture of the
fugitives. They said that the Christians, if
near, fled to the house of the prince,and that
when, breathless and palpitating with fear,
and ready to sink with exhaustion, they
reached his door, he welcomed and encouraged ihem, saying, "Don't be afraid; take
courage; God will protect you; conceal
yourselves as well as you can ; " and that if
he could not give them shelter, he would tell
them where they might perhaps find it, endeavoring, if opportunity offered, to send
their pursuers in contrary direction that the
Christians might escape.
A large number, notwithstanding, were
apprehended, some in the capital, but the
gteaterpart among the villages, at their own
residences, or in other places where they had
sought concealment. They were charged
with being Christians, and with offering
Christian prayer. In an affecting account
furnished to me by the brother of one of
them—an active, intelligent, and enterprising man, in good Worldly circumstances—it
is stated, that when the officer found his retreat, a cavern in the side of a rocky mountain not far from his dwelling, and told him
he must take him as a prisoner, the Christian
said, " What have I done ? I am not a murderer nor a traitor; I wronged no one-"
.
The officer replied, " No ; it is not for that,
but for praying that I must take you." To
this the Christian replied, "If that is the
impeachment, it is true : I have done that.
1 do not refuse to go with you."
Similar charges were preferred against all
who were denounced to the Government;
and no one, so far as I heard, when so accused, denied the charge. I was not able to
learn the exact number arrested, and condemned to different penalties, but they exceeded two hundred, and most of the punishments were extreme. Fourteen were stoned
to death at one place, and others afterwards.
Fifty-seven were banished in fetters, of whom
more than half died. The Tnngena, or poison, was administered to about fifty, of whom
eight died. Sixteen among the larger number reduced to slavery were redeemed at high
prices; and six devoted leading men among
the Christians who were condemned to death,
and had effected their escape, remained in
concealment until the accession of Hadama,
a period of four years and six months.
This persecution was the most severe and
fatal which had yet fallen on the infant
church in Madagascar. Those who were
stoned to death suffered at a rocky place
called Fiadana, to the west of the south end
of the city, and about a mile and a half from
the martyrs' precipice,and from Ambohipotsy.
When the fourteen were taken in broad noonday to the place of execution, Andriamanantena, the honored Christian leader, whose arrest in the cavern 1 have already mentioned,
offered unto God in those last moments, and
before the assembled multitude, a brief but
solemn prayer, imploring mercy for their
queen and their country, and committing
their spirits in love and trust to the hands of
their Almighty Saviour. The victims were
then bound to the stakes, and the crowds
who had been summoned to the scene gathered round to witness, or take part in the
stoning—the most revolting, barbarous and
brutalizing of the modes of taking away life.
Most of the sufferers soon obtained relief in
death ; but some, after being apparently dead,
revived, and were again battered with stones,
or mercifully decapitated, the heads being
afterwards fixed on poles.
My heart sickens even now at the remembrance of the hardening and demoralizing
exhibition presented to the people on the sanguinary day of the stoning to death, as related to me by some of my own servants and
others who were spectators, though not Christians then. There were, however, among
the crowd, some whom affection and sympathy had drawn into fearful proximity with
the penalty to which their faith exposed them.
These men marked the exact spots where
friends and loved ones were bound, battered
and fell; and when night and darkness covered the scene, and while hungry dogs held
carnival there, they stole in silence, equipped
with heavy clubs, or poles, and carrying
large matting sacks, to the bloody field, and
groped among the slain for the bodies, but
especially the heads of their friends. Driving
away the dogs from their prey, they put the
bodies into the sacks which they had brought,
bore them away to the nearest Christian
dwelling, and then hastened back to recover
more of the mortal remains of those who had
that day fallen in love, and trust,and loyally
to Christ.
�THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1867.
Most of the sufferers were men above the
ordinary class of their countrymen, not in
rank, possessions, or authority, but in character, ability and influence. Their wives,
with scarcely an exception, were involved in
the same condemnation, though their punishment was different. Some were sentenced
to drink the Tangena, an ordeal of poison,
but the greater number to be loaded with fetters. Sixteen were so bound on the day
after the executions at Fiadana. Fifty more,
at least, were so punished.
•
I brought home with me some of the fetters fixed on the bodies of the Christians at
this time. The ring round the neck is composed of a rugged piece of iron, six inches in
diameter, passed through an aperture at the
end of a heavy bar of iron, nearly three feet
long. The ring was bent round the neck of
the Christians, and fastened by a large rivet.
Two other rings, somewhat less ponderous,
were fixed in the same way, one on each
ankle, the weight of the whole being more
than fifty-six pounds. Loaded with these
fetters, the Christians were sent away to distant parts of the country where the fever prevailed, in order that the pains of the fever
might be added to the torture of their fetters,
and that the gradual approach of death might
be rendered more physically agonizing to
themselves, and more appallingly terrible to
others. One party of them went to Ambohibohazo, a hundred miles distant to the east;
another party was sent to the north-east to
these conditions, have been instantly relieved;
but they refused relief at such a price. They
suffered on and on, month after month, and
year after year, until death brought them deliverance, " enduring as seeing Him who is
invisible," and " not accepting deliverance,"
that they might obtain a better and more
glorious resurrection."

of St. Paul,."even the death of the cross."
And thus the unspeakable condescension of
Him who consented to be nailed on it, would
have been magnified by the contrast with the
vile thing itself.
But when its use as a gibbet was abolished,
and criminals were executed in some other
way, then all its horrors gradually faded from
men's memories, and.the hateful thing itself
would have been utterly forgotten, and become as completely an unknown thing as any
other special custom of Imperial Rome, but
for the fact that Jesus of Nazareth had suffered on it. This rescued it from oblivion.
And thus, losing its original associations of
horror and degradation, it became associated
with the memory of Him, and the affection
fell for Him,and the veneration paid to Him,

The following extract from a sermon of Dr.
M'Neile, shows the distinction between the
cross and the doctrine of the cross with great
force and clearness. Speaking on John xix.
25-27, Canon M'Neile said :
In holy Scripture the cross is used literally
and metaphorically. Literally, it means the
instrument for capital punishment used by
the Romans. Metaphorically, it means the
doctrine of atonement for sin, made by the
death upon it of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. Literally, it signifies the most ignominious of gibbets. Metaphorically, it signifies the most glorious of truths.

Change is agreeable when a passage of
thirty-six hours transfers a person from the
heated atmosphere of Honolulu to the cool
and bracing region of Makawao. Virgil near
two thousand years ago noticed this fact
among sailors, that the enjoyment of rest
after a voyage very soon led them to forget
all the hardships and dangers which they had
experienced at sea. Landsmen resemble the
sailor in this respect. How very soon a person forgets sea-sickness and other discomforts.
As we left the wharf at Honolulu, friends
wished us a pleasant trip, and just at that
moment we saw a beautiful rainbow spanning
Nuuanu Valley. "A good omen," we exclaimed. On our arrival at Kahului, just
after sunrise on the morning of the 19th, we
espied a beautiful rainbow spanning the Wailuku Valley. Good omens appeared to attend our voyage. Thanks to Capt. Wetherby, of the Ka Moi, for his kind attentions.
Not two days elapsed after leaving Honolulu
ere we were snugly domiciled at Grove
Ranch, where the cool breezes from Haleakala came sweeping along and inspiring life,
vigor and health. Most appropriately has
this spot been styled Grove Ranch. The
groves in this vicinity are beautiful. Some
of these groves of kukui and koa are old and
venerable, while several young groves of the
Pride of India ornament the ranch and the
adjoining plantations. The poet Bryant
says:
"
The groves were God's first temples."
Surely a beautiful grove is no unfit spot
wherein to worship God. While wandering
among them, the mind is impressed with the
truthfulness of Bryant's address to the God
of nature:
" r»tl.cr, thy hand

Didst weare
Upon the naked'earth, and forthwith rose
They, in thy sun,

of
All these fair
Budded, and shook their green leaves lv thy breeie.
And shot towards heaven."
Some one has said, that person is a benefactor who makes one blade of grass to grow
where none grew before. If so, does not the
person planting and rearing a tree much more
deserve to be styled a benefactor ? It is gratifying to witness the marked change produced in Honolulu during the last few years.
The city has become a grove, and we hope
m% ere long merit being styled a forest,
which is the enlargement of a grove. We
hone the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society will aid in carrying out this idea. Let a
nursery of trees be started, and furnished
gratis to all who will adorn the streets, or
even their own premises, with fruit or shade
trees. We find our thoughts wandering back
to Honolulu. Why should they not ? Habit
is everything. In Honolulu we have spent
nearly a quarter of a century, freely mingling
with all classes of its permanent and roving
population. Under the kind Providence of
God we have there enjoyed as much of
earthly happiness as usually falls to the lot
of mortals. We have witnessed the growth
of one generation. Many of those whom we
have known as children, it has been our privilege to see coining forward and occupying,
honorable positions in life, at the Islands and
elsewhere. The very evening before embarking for Maui, it was our privilege to officiate at a scene similar to that which our
Saviour honored by his presence at Cana of
Galilee. As a friend of man, of society, of
State, of Church, and of all that is lovely and
of good report, we cannot view with indifference the addition of another family to the
sacred fraternity of matrimony.

virtue
between Molokai and Maui, he was so effectually deceived by the low land between East
and West Maui, that he ran his ship square
on the shore, and she became a total wreck.
We cannot say just how long ago this took
place, but it must have been over thirty years
since. At the time of the wreck, Mr. Titcomb, of Kauai, Mr. Thompson (late of Maui,
and father of Henry Thompson, Esq., of
Honolulu), and Capt. Chadwick, if we are
not mistaken, were attached to the ship. In
this as in sejreral other instances, the foreign
population on these Islands has been recruited
with some enterprising citizens from the
crews of wrecked vessels.
Last Sabbath morning it was our privilege
to assemble with the church-going people of
Makawao, who gathered at the neat and commodious foreign church for public worship.
The Rev. J. S. Green preached an excellent
sermon upon the subject of prayer. The
singing was conducted by the daughter of the
" Pastor of Makawao." It was a delightful
privilege to be a hearer in this quiet country
church far from the bustle of the city.
Every day since our arrival in this region
we have been mounted on horseback, and
galloped over the hills and through the valleys of this most delightful spot. The exercise is most refreshing and invigorating. We
have in prospect a trip to the summit of Haleakala, and other excursions, which will fully
occupy the few brief days which are allotted
to our summer vacation " among the canefields and groves of Makawao."
So wrote Cowper, and so says every wellwisher to the human race. "Ah! but you
did not drink wine on that occasion," interposes Mr. Carper.
" No," is our reply.
" So you think yourself better, I suppose,
than our Saviour, who was present at the
marriage in Cana of Galilee."
" By no means ; we think no such thing.
Without exactly undertaking to argue the
question with you, Mr. Carper, we have only
to say that on the present occasion they had

Longfellow.
We have come to a large square wooden
house, with nothing especially attractive about
it. It stands back from the street, its front
in full view, looking over Charles River.
Near it, at the sides, a few trees and bushes
relieve the open space. This is the house
known as Washington's Headquarters; and
here for many years has lived Henry Longfellow, the sweetest and most romantic of
American poets. The house seems full of
him. The spacious rooms are furnished with
unostentatious luxury; elegant literature is
freely strewn about; pictures, engravings,
and miscellaneous works of art. adorn the
walls and grace the mantels. The library,
on the second floor front, expresses the occupant. It is a large sunny room, filled with
books in all languages, that seem to have
fallen into their places at the bidding of the
muse. Here sits the poet. Mr. Longfellow
was always a poet to look at—in form, feature and expression a poet. Lawrence's portrait, engraved for the small blue-and-gold
edition of the poetical works, gives an admirable idea of his head and countenance in its
finest mood—though not in its domestic aspect. Since the fearful death of his wife the
outward man of the poet has altered much.
The step is less buoyant than it was, the
bearing less joyous, the look less elate. The
florid man has matured into an exceeding
mellowness of dignity. Ripe and rich-looking he always was—exquisitely neat in dress
and exquisitely elegant in person—though
always animated by a sentiment that saved
him from the suspicion of foppery. But he
has attained a wonderful completeness of expression. His aspect is that of a bard in the
full affluence of his years and the full wealth
of his genius. His silvered hair is long and
wavy. His beard grows white and thick beneath his chin, looking more like a deep lace
ruff than anything else. His voice is melodious as an organ; and his features, handsome as ever, have been touched with new
lines by the action of thought and sorrow.
His manners are very beautiful to all persons; and he carries about him that indescribable atmosphere that marks the perfectly
cultured gentleman. Longfellow has just
finished his work of many years—his translation of Dante. No finer version from one
language into another has ever been done.
Not satisfied with all that his own admirable scholarship, wonderful wealth of diction
and perfect taste in rhythm could achieve, he
has called in his friends to pass judgment.on
his work. Each Wednesday evening through
the winter a choice company of scholars and
critics have met in the poet's library to hear
the divine stanzas read, and to weigh the
words as they fell from thepoet's lips. There
were Holmes, and Fields, and Lowell, and
Norton, and Furness, the artist lately deceased, and such others as the hour might
bring. Lowell held the Italian copy, Norton
the English translation, Furness a translation
in German, and, as the new translator read
his passages and paused for criticism or remark, the listeners gave the benefit of their
suggestions.
Manners may exist without morals,
but morals should never be without manners.

before a Judge, on the complaint of a tradesman, to whom he neglected to pay a small
account. The Count at first refused to appear, but at the third summons, being warned
that he risked beingcondemned by default to
an imprisonment of two months, he attended
before the magistrate and paid the money,
saying, He preferred to pay without discussion rather than have anything to do with a
tribunal of clodhoppers (in Russian, Kholopkoy Soude).' The Judge arrested him, and
sentenced him to a week's imprisonment for
contempt of Court.. The Count applied to
the Emperor in order to escape this sentence,
but his Majesty replied that all he could do
for him was to intercede with the Judge lo
change the sentence to six weeks' confinement in his own house, which was done, and

issued to seize her furniture. The police arrived to carry out the sentence, when they
found the door fast, and in spite of their
.summons in the name of the law it remained
unopened. They then attempted"to scale
the wall, when the mistress of the house ordered a number of savage dogs to be let loose.
Seeing this, the police retired, and Madame
Mazourine was summoned to appear before
the magistrate, and has been condemned to
,
'
two
months' imprisonment."

By the arrival of the steamship Colorado at
San Francisco, from Japan, news of the loss of the
whaleship Canton Packet, Captain Fraaer, was received. The wreck occurred on the night of
3d of April. Five seamen, including four llawaiians, were drowned. The following particulars are
from the Atta:
Loss or the ''Canton Pacikt. '—We have obtained from Capt. Fraser, late in command of the
American whaling ship Canton Packet, in tons,
the following particulars of her lose: She left
Honolulu January 4th, 1867 ; went south as far as
the line, whore she took fifty barrels of sperm oil.
On the night of the 3d. nearing the island, on her
way to Hakodadi, during a heavy northeast gale
and snow, in latitude 41 N.. and longitude 141 X.,
went on shore. The ship became a total wreck,
with the loss of five of the crew. The rest, thirtytwo in all, remained on the island for ten days. The
Japanese refused to allow tbem to move until the
arrival of Mr. Rice, the American Conßul at Hakodadi, who arrived on the Rcenc of the disaster with
great difficulty. Through this gentleman's exertions the natives furnished the Captain and his
crew with horses and guides. They arrived at
Hakodadi perfectly destitute and about naked ;
but thanks to the kindness of the foreign residents
of Hakodadi, they were well taken care of. Capt.
Frasor left Hakodadi as soon as possible, and arrived here last night en the Colorado. The crew
are still ut Hakodadi awaiting transportation to
Baa Francisco. The vessel belonged to J. H. Bartlclt & Son, of New Bedford, Mass. Of the five
sailors that were lost one was James Fairbanks, ot
Baltimore, the other four were Hawaiians.

Cook's Monument.—The monument to Captain
Cook, which it was proposed to erect at Kaawaloa,
wasfinished week before lost. Themagonreturned by
the Kilauea on Saturday. The monument is erected
as near as possible on the spot where the great navigator met his death, and is built of the lava rock
which abounds in the neighborhood, laid up in cement. It is sixteen feet high, and at the base measures eighteen by thirty-six inches, running up to a
peak in the form known as the Gambrel or Mansard
roof. We understand that plates, with suitable inscriptions for the four sides of the monument, have
been ordered from abroad, and when these arrive
and are placed in position, we shall probably be enabled to give a more particular description of the
Exposition. structure.—idv.
An American Triumph at the Paris
—A Paris letter in the Boston Journal, dated April 23d, says: The jury on locomotives came to a decision yesterday on the
merits of the different machines. The competition is great. England has a large number. France at least a dozen. Austria and
Russia have three or four each. The Austrian and French members of the jury took
exception to the"America" because it was
so light in some of its parts, and also to the
amount of polish to the iron work, which they
thought was more for show than utility.
They claimed that the lightness of some of
the machinery was a sacrifice of strength to
beauty. But fortunately the English member of the jury is well informed on locomotive engines, and he explained that the railroads in America are of an entirely different
construction from European roads; that the
country is new, and the roads cheaply built,
and the ties subject to displacement from
frost; that to ride over rough roads there
must be elasticity in the machinery; that
American engineers had difficulties to contend with wholly unknown to Europeans;
that, taking all things into consideration, the
American locomotive was superior to any
other in the exhibition. His arguments were
so convincing that the other jurors gave way
and awarded a gold medal to the"America."
This is a great triumph, and it has been
achieved through the intelligence and honesty of the English juror.
Valuable Portfolio, in Two Volumes.—
Count Bismarck recently presented a faithful but poor secretary with a portfolio bound
like a book, in which were deposited five
thousand thalers. On meeting his secretary
next day, the count asked him if he harJl perused the volume. " Yes, your highness,"
said the secretary, " and I am so captivated
by its contents that I am waiting theappearance of the second volume with feelings of
the greatest interest." The count smiled,
but said nothing. A few days afterward the
secretary received a second portfolio, bound
and filled like the first, and on the title-page
of which was the sentence " This work is
complete in two volumes."
:
The Boston Traveler says the United
States engineers are astonished at the result
of petroleum burning on the steamer Polos.
It is deemed an event of such importance that
•it was to be telegraphed to Europe to-dair.
The Traveler says ten years from to-day *>
coal will be burned in any vessel in use in
the world. One hogshead of petroleum will
generate as much steam as twenty times the
bulk in coals. It will prove of the greatest
importance to the Pacific Mail steamers on
the China line.
A lie may respect all things, but there
is no such thing as a small lie.

There is an air of romance about the life
and calling of the sailor—an atmosphere of
poetry, which seems to invest the very name
with a charm. You have but to mention the
word, and troops ofmemories, hosts of associations, marshal themselves before the mind.
Toilsome explorations in unknown seas, marvelous discoveries of peoples strange, deeds
of noble daring and of hopeless suffering, of
shipwreck, and storm and strife ; of hunger
and thirst, and nakedness and cold; the
foundering craft, the white squall, and the
iron-bound lee shore—all press forward for
recognition, and all give evidence that the
sailor is no mere myth, nor his life all poetry and romance, but one of stern reality—a
life of sore vicissitudes and garnished o'er
with pain. Yet these very vicissitudes are
associated with traits of character that seem
to be born of the very circumstances of his
wild and roving life. All that is noble, generous, brave and free, has been considered as
embodied in his calling. In every land he is
spoken of as the jolly tar ; his very excesses
are esteemed only as foibles, and his reckless
disregard of himself attributed to his generous nature. His devotion to duty, his contempt of danger, his self-sacrificing spirit;
his bravery and patriotism in war; his energy and enterprise in times of peace—these
have elevated him to an exalted place in the
esteem of all people who are capable of ap-
preciating his sterling worth. His rollicking
good nature and love of fun, his sensitiveness
to praise or blame, his open-handed benevolence, and the tenderness of heart that brings
the tear to his eye when the tale of suffering
is told—all these have served to invest his
character with a charm of attractiveness as
clearly defined as the halo of glory with
which art has adorned the head of pictured
saint and Madonna.
The sailor is sui generis, a class by himself._ His dress is peculiar. His trim blue
jacket and wide flowing pants, and his low
shoest, nis tarpaulin hat and loose 'kerchief,
exposing the bronzed neck and breast—all
fitting so neatly and setting so gracefully on
his well-formed person, as to suggest, together with his rolling gait, the unrestrained
freedom with which he moves upon his own
chosen element, just as nis horny hand and
sun-browned visage denote his toil and exposure in foreign climes.
His characteristic peculiarities are believed
to be the result of his mode of life. Yet is
it true that the germ of these traits of character must exist in the boy before they are
developed in the man.
There are well-authenticated instances of
boys going to sea, who were parsimonious
and selfish, and ungenerous, who, nevertheless, lost these qualities on being associated
with the sea and the ship. The philosophy
of this change is not easily discerned. Men
have different theories on this subject. One
thing is certain—it is not the lazy and listless, the nerveless and the stupid, but the
earnest, active and energetic boy that runs
away to go to sea. The character of such a
boy must be developed by association with
1867.
the works of nature in her grandest and in
her wildest forms. As men who grow up in
mountainous regions become free and brave
and liberty-loving, like the Swiss, so these
men, by holding converse with nature where
she displays her works in all the majesty and
beauty of her sublimest proportions, cannot
but be affected thereby.
Would the reader test this '( Let him go
forth with the sailor on his own element.
Stand beside him when the topsails and topgallantsails are mast-headed, when the royals
are sheeted home, and her white wings are
spread to the breeze, and the good ship gathering way runs out into the offing, till the
receding'shore astern sinks beneath the hori-
zon with the setting sun. Pace with him the
deck in his midnight watch. Look up at the
concave of boundless blue studded with twinkling stars. Behold the moon, as she mounts
the heavens, walking in her brightness, flinging her silvery sheen on the dark blue wave,
and paving old ocean with a causeway of
light. Now look out on every side, on the
limitless expanse; let the eye penetrate to
ocean's farthest verge—to that
below—descend with him into that dark,
damp and cheerless forecastle, where no fire
gives out its reviving warmth, and where bed
and berth, and chest, with their contents, are
alike saturated, and as wet and comfortless
as the clothes he has on. What comfort can
a man have in such circumstances ? Does
not his lot demand, and should he not secure
our sincere sympathy ?
And what is his condition ashore ? Alas !
his boarding-house is, in many instances, as
destitute of comfort as the forecastle he left.
And here he becomes too often the victim of
the harpies who seek his destruction. He is
drugged or poisoned with bad liquor—then
Shanghaed. or taken insensible on board another vessel, where some merciless tyrant,
perhaps, may force him through the same
round of abuse and exposure, and toil, and
watching, and vicissitude. Do you wonder
that the sailor is reckless ? Is it not a still
greater wonder that he does not oftener appear as a criminal before our police courts ?
The property entrusted to his care, the interests committed to him, the trusts reposed in
him, are all protected and preserved with a
generous firmness and an unswerving integline,

To realize his vicissitudes fully, you must

him, in the midst of storm and darkness, on
the topsail yard, and share with him in his
vain endeavors to gather in the struggling
canvas, as it flaps and snaps with the fury of
the hurricane, and tears itself from his grasp,
while the blinding snow and sleet is beating
with merciless fury in his face, and his hands
are freezing to the stiffened leach. Then
come down with him, when wet to the skin,
his strength exhausted, and his blood almost
congealed in his veins—comedown, I say, to
the deck and hear the brutal curse with which
his exertions are rewarded—and witness the
dastard blow from the contemptible, cowardly
thing that walks the quarter-deck—in the
place of a skillful and manly officer—and
who vents his ungovernable passion on the
man whose noble efforts to accomplish his
task an honorable man would respect. And
now, when the duties and dangers of the
yard and deck,and the insults of his unofficerlike superior are endured, and he turns to go
forecastle.
A Remarkable Fish.—In a recent lecture
by Prof. Agassiz on the aquatic animals of
the Amazon, he described one fish, of which
he said : " This fish is remarkable for the
faculty it enjoys of leaving the water and
walking a considerable distance over the Innd.
Sometimes it is found three, four and five
miles from the water, and specimens have
been brought to me which I have left on the
ground for a day, and afterwards, when put
back into water, they were as lively as if
they had not been disturbed. That fish has
another peculiarity ; it builds a nest—a large
nest, about the size of a man's hat, with a
hole leading to the interior, in which it deposits its eggs ; and it is not only capable of
creeping on even land, but it can creep on an
inclined plane, and I have been told by very
trustworthy persons that they are frequently
found many feet above the water, on stumps
of trees which have fallen down, the trunks
of which are so inclined that the fish has
reached the branches of the tree, to such a
height that the bird and the fish have more
than once been brought down by the same
shot."
There is no justice in sin, and no
sin in justice.

ANNUAL REPORT
Of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association.
The Annmil llrelm;:, June, 1867.
It was a joyful season of old, when the
tribes of Israel gathered at their annual festivals. The cordial greetings of old friends;
the week of united prayer and praise ; the
reciting to each other their mutual experience of the goodness and mercy of their covenant God during their absence, and their
joint feasts at the altar of their God, all
tended to nurture and mature their mutual
love and love of country, so that the leader
of secession at the death of Solomon would
no otherwise dissolve the union than by abolishing the annual feasts. The two tribes of
Judah and Benjamin, who alone continued
to keep up the annual meetings, have been
so knit together, that the storm of wrath
which has for eighteen centuries beat upon
them, has not sufficed to dissolve their union.
To this day, whether amid the burning sands
of Africa or the ice of Siberia—whether under
the iron rule of despotism or amid the sons
of freedom, the Jews are one, and their aspirations still arise that Jerusalem may again
become the praise and the glory of the whole
earth.
Such a joyful season we have again experienced, sitting together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus ; and after hearing the reports from all the stations, we may well unite
in thanksgiving and praise.
Our meeting has been unusually full.
Nearly all the members of our Association
have attended, only two of our foreign members being absent. Our venerable patriarch,
father Thurston, has not been able to meet
with us. Having fought the good fight and
kept the faith, he patiently awaits the crown
of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give at his appearing. Mr.
Lyons, too, is not able to be with us ; yet he,
" thoughof faint, is still pursuing."
One "our fellow laborers, Rev. John S.
Emerson, after having spent thirty-six years
of his life in the missionary work, has been

called to enter into the joy of his Lord. Let
us who remain, remembering the loving kindness of our God in years past, and cheered
by nis promise that he will be with us alway,
gird up our loins and prosecute our work
with fresh vigor and hope.
While many of the great nations of the
earth have suffered the horrors of war. pestilence and famine, we have enjoyed profound
peace, and no general sickness has prevailed;
and although there has been an umusual
scarcity of food, yet few have suffered seriously from the scarcity except in the town of
Honolulu, where during a prevailing epidemic, numbers who were unable to procure
sufficient food were unable to grapple with
the disease, and fell before it.
This scarcity of provisions did not arise
from the want of fruitful seasons, but rather
from the great abundance of food a little
more than a year ago. The small price obtained by those engaged in its cultivation,
and the bright prospects of those engaged in
the culture of sugar-cane, induced many (o
turn their lois into cane-fields, and hence the
scarcity that has afflicted the country. A reaction has taken place. The people have
been, however, stimulated to great activity
in planting, and the rains have been so propitious, that we may reasonably anticipate a
season of plenty the coming year.
The results of our deliberations on the
great subjects we have considered are so fully
set forth in the various reports which we have
adopted, that we need not here recount them
again.
Many things have conspired to render our
meeting intensely interesting. The arrival
of the Morning Star, the examination of the
pupils of Oahu College, the Sabbath-school
celebration, and the annual sermons on home
and foreign missions, have made us feel that
it was good to be here, and to desire that our
stay might be prolonged on this holy mount.
Nor'should we omit to mention our appreciation of the words of cheer addressed to us
by Capt. W. Reynolds, of the United States
steamship Lackawanna.

ducted by the superintendents and teachers.
The children are kept waiting at the school
house through the tardiness of the teacher;
school hours also are short, and the children
not properly instructed. Moreover, the schools
are not examined often, that the parents, children and teachers may be encouraged in this
great work by which the race is blessed.
In consequence of this state of things, the
children have become careless, while in some
places the parents despise the Government
day-schools, longing for schools where their
children will be properly educated and instructed in the truth, as religious liberty is
suppressed in the Government schools.
It is encouraging to see parents striving to
obtain proper teachers to instruct their children according to their own views; for knowledge and christian sentiments have sprung
up and expanded themselves in the hearts of
this people. Those who have planted the
seeds of Evangelical religion among these
Islands, are examples to be had in everlasting remembrance. We have the hope that
this good work will increase, and_become a
witness of the inefficiency of the Government
day-schools, and of the hold which true religion has upon this people. Thy salvation,
0 Hawaii! is Liberty.
It is encouraging also to see that some of
the churches are establishing schools for
themselves to benefit the children of the poor,
and children living in regions abandoned by
the Government. We have the hope that
this good work will go on incKaaing uatil

FinjjUy, it is rejoicing to see the increase
of boarding-schools and seminaries, where
children are instructed and prepared for
spheres of usefulness, and where they are
shielded from the evils which destroy body
and soul. These are pre-eminently tho
schools by which the race will be benefited.
They are the schools most esteemed by the
parents from the desire to see their children
properly trained. There are enough of high

torate. We would suggest that a column be
added to our annual statistical table, showing the average contribution of each churchmember in each church.
The moneys reported by the Hawaiian
Missionary Society from 1863 to 1863, together with the receipts of our Board since
then, make a total of about $61,000; and
this very nearly shows what has been given
by our churches for their foreign missions in
Micronesia and Marquesas within the last
fifteen years since the commencement of our
foreign missionary work. About $38,000 of
this has been expended on the Marquesas
Mission, and about $23,000 on Micronesia,
including three or four thousand for incidental expenses.
The sum of all moneys reported during
the last fifteen years as contributed for religious objects, makes a total of $314,048, and
doubtless there are many items never reported, and which it is indeed impossible to
report. The year ending May, 1559, reported $26,069, and the total for 1866 was
$25,250, which are the two largest annual
amounts since the establishment of the Mission.
It is very encouraging that the contributions of the churches are, as a whole, kept so
nearly at the same figure yearly, notwithstanding the decrease of population, thus indicating a relative increase of benevolence ;
and we would call attention to the fact that
our Hawaiian churches and our Hawaiian
work are now very nearly self-supporting.
There are now twenty-seven ordained native
pastors, besides ten or more licensed preachers, all of whom are supported from home
resources, and by far the greater part of them
without any assistance from the general
treasury. All the building of churches, and
their repair from end to end of the land, is,
as it has ever been, accomplished by the
churches themselves. The Mission to the
Marquesas Islands has from its beginning in
1853, been entirely sustained by the Hawaiian churches, including even the expense of
holding communication with it by the Morning Star or otherwise. The Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia have now for three
years been entirely sustained by the Hawaiiati Board—not, however, including the expenses of the Morning Star, they being borne
to and from Micronesia yearly by grants,
averaging perhaps $4,000 yearly, from the
American Board, as that Mission was commenced by them, and as they have still several missionaries there, though now under
our care.
In the matter of publications, we have for
■several years received from the American
Board $2,000 ; but this by no means covers
all our expenditures in the book department,
which are largely met from our incidental
fund, and by the sale of publications.
The whole educational system of these Islands is, and has for many years been selfsustaining, with but a slight exception or
two. The common schools are sustained by
the Government, as is also the Seminary at
Lahainaluna. The various English day and
boarding-schools in sympathy with our work
throughout the land, are sustained by private
enterprise and the assistance of the Government.

was by no means discouraged. His wife's
health, however, is at times very poor, and it
may yet necessitate his return.
The Morning Star left Key. D. Kapali and
wife on Jaluit November 6th, 1865. By the
30th of December his house was completed.
He speaks of having lived under great disadvantages —many of his goods being, in the
haste of removal, left at Namarik. The island of Jaluit is much less fruitful than Ebon
and Namarik, and is a meeting place for the
fleets of canoes of the two chains of the
Radack and Ralik Islands, and is desolated
by them. Kapali says he has no regular
meals from want of food, and that there are
few days they are not faint for want of food.
Sabliath services have been sustained regularly and Sabbath-school. He has thirty
pupils, nineteen of whom have learned to
read. On the Ist of April he admitted one
woman to the church who had been under
his instruction at Fibon.
Mr. Snow speaks of the Ralik Island chiefs
as passing rapidly away, and of not one of
them all is there any reasonable ground to
hope that he has been savingly changed.
But on the other hand he says: " Of the
goodly number of church-members who went
north last season with the chiefs, all returned

by their chiefs. This was an occasion of
great joy and thankfulness with us. It was
beyond my hopes, far beyond my fears. Two
of them went with a part of the fleet to Arno
(of the Radack Chain.) They were there
one Sabbath, and had religious exercises with
the natives. They had such a crowd to hear
them, that the more remote ones were unable
to hear their voices. The island is very populous antl well supplied with food for a coral
island. What I chance for a Hawaiian missionary ! It will be an entering wedge to the
most populous part of our group." Will the
Hawaiian churches respond to this call ?

took passage in the Pfeil from Apaiang for
Butaritari. Though Capt. Randall befriended the missionaries in this as in all their previous necessities, and arranged that they
might remain with perfect safety, their families were so alarmed, they accepted Capt.
Ziegenhirst's offer and went with him to
Ebon, leaving all their effects. By an opportunity which presented soon after our learning these events, Capt. Randall was requested
to assure the chiefs of Butaritari that we had
no intention of abandoning their island, and
the missionary property was put under his
care. The next trip of the Morning Star
will clear up all the clouds, and will doubtless enable us once more to enter this interesting island.
At Aimiano and Tarawa no marked progress has yet been made. It is yet seed time.
One of those admitted to the church at Apaiang continues consistent and humble. Kapu
reports that on Apaiung, supposed to number
about three thousand five hundred inhabitants, there had, during the year, been fiftythree deaths to one hundred and forty-two
births. Aumai asks permission to return for
a visit on account of his health.
It would
seem that our missionaries are still much
troubled by the thievishness of the people.
A call for missionaries is spoken of as having come from Nui, of Ellice's Group.

California.
We have requested the Rev. E. T. Taylor,
of California, to act for us in visiting the
Hawaiians scattered through California and
Oregon, as he may be able, while on his home
missionary tours, and have offered to defray
any moderate expenses to which he may be
subjected in such efforts for the wanderers
from Hawaii.
On the 23d of May just passed, we assisted John Wind, a Sacramento Indian, in
returning to his native land. He came to
these Islands in 1850, while only six or seven
years olcK in the care of a whita man sometime since deceased. He learned the Hawaiian language, went to the common schools
in Kona, Hawaii, and finally joined the
church under Rev. J. D. Paris, who has had
a watching eye upon him for several years.
At his own earnest solicitations, he was sent
for three years to the Hilo Boarding-school,
and has since then for a time been attending
Rev. W. P. Alexander's Theological School
at Wniluku. His great desire he says is, to
return to tell his kindred of Christ. We have
also hopes that he may be of use among the
Hawaiians in California. We have given
him letters of introduction to christian friends
there, and have requested Mr. Taylor to make
for him in our behalf whntever small expenditures he may think well to assist him in
supporting himself.

The Mission station at Butakitari was
taken on the 19th of August, 1865, under
very favorable auspices, by Kanoa and Maka.
On the 20th of the same month they commenced regular Sabbath services, which they
continued till they left. They commenced
teaching on the 16thof October, though the
number of pupils is not reported. They were
much tafriended by a brother of the King,
anil by many of the chiefs, and were soon
abk lo live in a house of their own.
In April and May they built a meeting
house 48 feet by 24, and had preached in it
six Sabbaths when the Pfcil arrived on the
25ds of June. The King killed three of the
Hawaiian sailors of the brig while they were

his frequent presence and activity in other
parts ot the group, especially in stimulating
the beneficence of the churches. We are accordingly glad to learn that his traveling expenses have just been ordered by the Board
to be refunded to him, and to be supplied in
future.
That feature in the report which forces itself more than any other upon our attention,
is the large balance of more than $7,000, or
more than one-third of the whole sum of receipts or expenditures, which has lain idle in
the treasury from the beginning to the end of
the year. Although the expenditures have
kept pace with the new receipts, the sum of
$7,039 32 now remains unexpended in the
treasury, of which $1,816 48 belong to the
department of foreign missions, while no less
than $3,387 52 belong to the general or incidental fund. These two items amount to
$5,204.
A similar state of the treasury existed at
the commencement of the year, and had existed for a year previous, so that it may be
regarded as a chronic plethora. This does
not appear to your Committee to be a desirable condition of the treasury, since the Lord's
funds are entrusted to us to be diligently employed in His service, and not to lie unused.
We would not imply that your Board have
been deficient in zeal or diligence. On the
contrary, there is every evidence of their
care, economy, prudence and enterprise in
the administration of these funds.
It still would seem that your Board have
failed to find a satisfactory way of expending
all the funds in their charge. But may this
not be a ground for suspecting that some
modification of general policy is needed, and
that an extension of operations should be
sought for in a different direction ? If it be
said that the large surplus for foreign missions exists because more men have been
sought for the foreign field, but cannot be
found, may not the truth be that your Board
are seeking too much extension of their work
in foreign missions, and too little in the home
work ?
We respectfully suggest that earnest and
prayerful inquiry should be made, whether
there are not important departments of missionary work in our home field which are
languishing and struggling for want of succor;
whether some of these operations are not of
vital importance to the prosperity and growth
of our churches, and to the continued life of
the nation, which is to maintain the foreign
missionary work, as well as directly necessary to train and prepare laborers for the
Lord's vineyard ; and lastly, whether the
Lord of the whole vineyard, both of the
planted and the implanted portions, has not
given some plain indications of peculiar favor
towards particular operations in His field,
pointing those out as the proper objects for
our especial care ?
Should we seek an answer to this last inquiry, towards what branch of our operations
has the Lord manifested the most signal regard of late, where should we turn but to the
very precious and prosperous female boarding-school supported by our Board, and to the
one at Makawao whose Principal receives
some personal aid from our Board. In both
those schools we have been startled nnd rejoiced by seeing a great and pervading work

and their influence with the old heathen gods,

These doctors and doctorosaes finding their

else has God made your benefactions and the
labors of our brethren so fruitful as in your

Is there not also a manifest need for more
provision for special education for the youth
of the stronger sex, and for that peculiar and
fruitful labor upon them which begins in the
family school and in early childhood ?
Were it in the province ot your Committee to make recommendations of specific action in expending the surplus funds of the
Board, we would respectfully suggest first,
that the Makawao Female Seminary be established on a substantial basis by the purchase of the house and lands, and the payment of the salary of an assistant teacher;
secondly, that the Female Boarding-school at
Kawaiahao be liberally supplied with needed
buildings and furniture ; and thirdly, that active measures be taken for the establishment
of a female boarding-school on Hawaii. We

The Committee appointed to report upon the
subject of training some of the natives to the
medical profession, beg leave to report,
That in our opinion the subject is of the greatest importance. It has been too long delayed for
the want of any practical plan by which it could
be accomplished. In the opinion of your Committee, there is and has been a greater need of
native doctors than of native lawyers. The Missionaries have educated thenative pastors, with
what success their presence in this assembly
testifies. The native lawyers have educated themselves. By having the laws printed to his hand
any active educated native could read for himself
and in some degree qualify himself to plead on
behalf of hut neighbor before the Courts, but the
medical profession, has been like a sealed book,
or has had no book at all, which is the same thing.
Sickness, pain and death are our common lot,
but it is not in human nature to suffer without
some effort to obtain relief. There was a time
when a large proportion of the population applied
to the Missionaries for medical aid. The funds
of the American Board were largely drawn upon
for medicines, and the Missionaries devoted a
great deal of time in attendance on the sick, with
such skill as they possessed and with great benefit to the people. Subsequently the Hawaiian
Government undertook to furnish the Missionaries with medicines for the siok; of late years
this source of relief has dried up, and even the
_
kina of instruction required, much of which
would be in the form of clinical lectures which
the pupils should commit to writing. If the
trustees of that institution could be induced
to undertake the work, there are medical men
who might afford valuable aid in preparing simple books and treatises in theHawaiian, which the
Board of Education might be willing to have
printed for the use of the pupils.
Private persons—members of the medical profession—may, perhaps, be found who would take
one or two pupils, but the difficulties and expense would oe so great, and the probability of
perseverance on the part of the pupils themselves
would he so small, that not much can be expected
from this souroe. It is desirable, in an enterprise of this nature, that the system should be
uniform and persevered in for a term of years, by
additions to the stock of Hawaiian medical knowledge and literature, which would be required by
thepupils after entering upon thejr practice.
There are some persons whose opinions are deserving of the highest consideration,, who would
decidedly object to the Licensing of medical pupils
who have not had the advantage of an education
in the English language, and a course or two of
medical lectures in a foreign country, but your
Committee are of opinion that however well
these may be educated, they would be in the
minds of the native population upon a par with
foreign physicians, and subject to the same prejudice and opposition from the present native

Catholic Church—one of them being its head ;
while the executive officer of the Board—the Inspector General—is intensely opposed to the religious faith of the mass of our people ; nor is it
sufficient that denominational interests are said
not to be considered in the construction and administration of the Board of Education. If they
are not, why this exclusion so invidious, unnecessary and unjust ?
There arc no truer friends of the Hawaiian
Throno than the American Missionaries who,
under God, planted the Churches of Hawaii nci,
and who bo largely assisted in establishing here a
Constitutional Monarchy; nor are there any more
loyal subjects of Kamehamcha Y. than the native
ministry and membership of our churches, and
the communities in sympathy with them. We
therefore exhort all to demand a proper representation in every department bearing on education
and religion—a right thatmay certainly be claimed by every Hawaiian citizen.
2. Our ministers and churches, and our whole
religious community should demand with inflexible hrninoss that teachers nnd school agents should
be men of at least fair moral character. Our
rising generation is in too great danger of being
fatally corrupted by the example of mcmliers now
in places of authority for us to be lukewarm on
this point. It is more than ever important that
we should require virtue in teachers nnd their
coadjutors. No fear of personal consequences
should allow any to remain silent under the present awful increase of immorality and crime.
3. In view of the fact that we are obliged to
undertake independently the education ofour children, on account of the insufficiency of the Governmental schools, and also because they are so antagonistic to the Hawaiian Evangelical Churches,
it isbut simple justice that theprovision of the late
School Law be restored, exempting parents from
the school tax who provide for the oducationof their
children in independent schools. Let this request
be pressed in every legitimate mode, till the right
of a siillicicnt voice in schools bo granted, or until
the taxes be remitted. It is not that we would
abandon the idea of common schools supported
from the national treasury; but, having been
thrust out of our proper and rightful influence in
the Common School System, wo owe it to the
sacred muse of religion to demand that that influence be restored, or that we he relieved of taxation from a system now made to work mischief
to our most precious interests as men and Christians.
The Hawaiian Evangelical Association
met at Kawaiahao, Honolulu, June 4th, 1867.
Key. A. O. Forbes was elected Moderator,
and Rev. Messrs. Bicknell and Waiamau,
Scribes.
The unabridged minutes of the meeting
were published in the Kuokoa of June 15 and
22. A summary of business, with the various reports connected with the meeting, will
be found in the annual report of the Association in pamphlet form, in the Hawaiian language. This supplement contains the most
important and interesting of the reports (o
the English reader.
There were in uttendance forty-two ordained ministers, twenty-six of whom were
Hawaiians; four permanent lay members,
former members of the American Mission ;
fourteen lay Hawaiian delegates, and five
corresponding members.
It was voted to observe the first whole
week as a week of prayer, and to observe the
last Thursday of February, 1867, as a day
of prayer for schools.
The Association adjourned to meet at
Honolulu in June, 1867—the day to be fixed
by the Hawaiian Board.

Our Catholic neighbors, on the anniversary
of " Corpus Christi," turn out in full regalia
and make a great display. Banners, flags,
music, flowing robes, and numerous other
accessory aids, render the procession quite
imposing. Bell ringing—that never-failing
element of Catholic worship and display—
adds its attraction. Priests and nuns, young
and old, swell the grand procession. We can

Pitcairners on Norfolk Island.
We have received a letter from one of the
old Pitcairn Islanders, now residing on Norfolk Island. The writer's name is Buffett.
This person visited Honolulu over twenty
years ago and wrote a series of articles upon
the history of the Pitcairn Islanders, which
were published in the Friend during the year
1846. It will be recollected by our readers
that all the inhabitants (about two hundred)
of Pitcairn's Island were removed by the
British Government to Norfolk Island, after
that island was abandoned as a penal settlement. So much dissatisfied were some of
these people that they chartered a schooner
and returned to their old home on Pitcairn's
Island, where they are now living. Among
those who remained on Norfolk Island was
our correspondent, Mr. John Buffett, who
married a daughter of one of the original
mutineers of the Bounty. This letter was
written February 7th, 1867.
# « # # We are now getting on very
well. We obtained about two hundred and
forty barrels of humpback oil this year, and
last year about three hundred and fifty barrels. We export cheese and butter, and
should get on very well if they would leave
us alone; but they want to civilize us, and
we find it a great deal better to be semi-civilized, as we do not find so much roguery in
the latter as in the former state. When we
came here we were officially informed that
the land, withthe exception of seven hundred
acres, as glebe land, was ours, and the sheep
and cattle also; but we soon found to the
contrary, for the sheep were taken from us,
and all the cattle we had not marked, and
we now understand that a thousand acres of
the best land on the island is sold, or to be
sold to the Bishop of Melenesia, and we have
nothing to say in the matter. Some time
ago we advocated that the Bishop should
have a branch school on the island, we supposing that at most he would not want more

than two hundred acres, but judge of our
surprise when we heard of his having a ninth
part of the island.
You may have heard or seen the reports
published in the Sydney Morning Herald,
where our community whs scandalized as
sunk in utter indolence, as being too lazy to
do anything for ourselves, etc. —in fact, making us to be worse than the savages in the
interior of Africa. No doubt it was done
with the intention of degrading us, that others may have the credit of raising us in the
scale of civilization. John Adams and myself have endeavored to refute the slander.
Our reply has been published in the Sydney
Empire, and the editor of the Empire has
kindly given his opinion on the subject,
which agrees with ours. I wish, most reverend Sir, you may see the publication, but
1 can assure you it is a most slanderous and
disgusting account of our character.
I hope some day to land on Pitcairn's, and
then I shall be nearer to you, and have the
pleasure of communicating with you. In the
meantime, dear Sir, if you will kindly do
what you can to assist in forwarding communication between us and Pitcairn's, you
would greatly oblige-us.
I remain, dear Sir,
Your obedient servant,
John Buffett.
P. S.—Reading in the Friend an account
of the South Sea missions, I noticed the remark that two young men belonging to
our community were killed at Santa Cruz
by the natives. I would inform you, Sir,
that one was a son of Rev. Mr. Nobbs—the
other a dear grandson of mine, Fisher Young,
whose mother and father, Simon and Mary
Young, are now on Pitcairn's. We know
not yet if they have heard of their loss, but
there is one thing that consoles me. It was
my dear daughter's first-born son, and at his
birth, she, like Hannah, gave him to the
Lord, and we hope that He received him, and
that he now wears a martyr's crown. They
were both engaged in the missionary cause,
not as sailors, but teachers, and 1 believe
they are the first who fell in the Melenesian
missionary cause. They were both young
men, bom at Pitcairn's, and had they been
spared, the one would have succeeded Mr.
Nobbs, and the other, I think, would have
been chaplain at Pitcairn's. But it has
pleased the Lord to call them in the morning
of life, and 1 hope and trust that they are enjoying " that rest which remains for the peoJ. B.

EDITOR'S TABLE.
Beecheb's Norwood, or Village Life in
New England.—There was a time at no
very distant date, when novels were tabu to
some of the good people of America. A
change has come over the minds of many
upon this subject. Seeing " Norwood " advertised in the New York Observer, we presumed it would not be wrong to read it, so
for the first time in our life, we bought a copy
of the New York Ledger. Keport says the
publisher of the Ledger pays Mr. Beecher
$10,000 for this serial, which will make its
appearance in the successive numbers of the
Ledger. The scene of " Norwood " is laid
in the valley of the Connecticut. " Look,"
says the writer, with my eyes, good reader,
"
upon the town ol Norwood, that refusing to
go down upon the fat bottom-lands of the
Connecticut, daintily perches itself upon the
irregular slopes west, and looks over upon
that transcendent valley from under its beautiful shade trees, and you will say that no
fairer village glistens in the sunlight, or nestles under arching elms. It is a wonder (hat
Norwood was ever allawed to venture so near
the low grounds of the Connecticut—for it
was early settled, not far from thirty years
after the Pilgrims' landing."
This paragraph takes us again to the scenes
of college life, when on vacation and festival
days, we rambled over the hills of Hampshire
County and along the banks of the beautiful
Connecticut, .under those " arching elms."
We have visited Norwood, or some similar
town in that beautiful region. Hadley, Hatfield, Northampton, Sunderland and Greenfield are all sister towns to Norwood. We
thank Mr. B. for transporting us to that delightful region of Massachusetts. Nearly six
years we spent in Amherst, looking forth
upon the very spot where " Norwood aestles
under arching elms."
We shall follow Rachel Liscomb and
Abiah Cathcart as they settle down to life's
labors on the old Templeton farm. We have
visited many such farms, and looked down
many " old-fasbioned wells of mysterious
depth," and drank from the old oaken bucket,
" spurting out its contents on every side, and
filling the well with a musical splashing
sound, reserving hardly enough to serve for
a good drink."
We shall be disappointed if Mr. B. does
not furnish his readers with many a bright
page descriptive of New England life. His
descriptions are life-like. Abiah Cathcart's
horses we have seen a hundred times, and
"the great golden-speckled rooster" we heard
crow more than thirty years ago, aa he drew
"
up with magisterial dignity."
18 67.
Whether Mr. B. has really struck thatrich
mine of golden ore that lies embedded under
the angular and somewhat stiff exterior of
New England character, remains to be seen.
But that there is a rich mine there, is a fact
that some future Scott or Irving will yet disclose. The world has already heard much
about New England, but the reading world
may rest assured the story of New England
life, habits and character has not yet been
fully portrayed. We shall anxiously wait to
see whether Mr. Beecher has been endowed
with the " Divine gift " to unfold and portray New England life and character.
The "Sparkler."—This is the attractive
name of a monthly journal of art and literature published by the Pithanologian Society
of Columbia Grammar School, New York
city. Three numbers have been received,
and they indicate wit, taste and ability on
the part of the youthful aspirants for editorial
fame. The two sons of Dr. G. A. Lathrop,
formerly of Honolulu, are contributors to the
columns of the Sparkler. When they resided in Honolulu, these boys were "brimfull" of Young America, and we should infer that the same spirit still animated their
■minds. We notice some poetical effusions
and translations from the French in the
Sparkler. Success to the conductors. We
shall be happy to exchange.
Young Ladies' Seminary, Benicia.—This
institution, under the efficient management
of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Mills, with its eleven
teachers and one hundred and twenty pupils,
(eighty-one of whom are boarders,) appears
to be in most successful operation. A catalogue has been received. We are fully confident its advantages equal those of any other
female seminary this side of the Rocky Mountains. We notice among the graduates this
year that there are two from the Islands—
MissClaraandMissMarionßowell.ol Kauai.
Stranger's Friend Society.—The
ladies
of Honolulu, interested in sustaining the
Stranger's Friend Society, met on the 6th of
June at the residence of the Seamen's Chaplain. From the report of Mrs. A. E. Austin,
the Treasurer, it appeared that the Society
had assisted fifteen sick and indigent persons
belonging to five different nationalities, viz
Oahu College.
The annuul examination and exhibition of thits
institution liavc taken place during the past month,
and been well attended. Indeed the hall was
crowded on each occasion to its utmost capacity.
The number of students has increased the past
year, and the catalogue shows that 74 have been
m attendance. Considerable improvement was
noticeable in the various classes examined, and
the readiness with which the scholars answered
all questions showed that they had been well
drilled. The hall was decorated with thirty-five
specimens of colored drawings, evidencing the
skill of the pupils in this branch of their instruction. The report of the examining committc,
which we insert below, is so full that more from
us will not be necessary.
We may here state that the institution wns
founded in lH4l,and is consequently twenty-six
years old. Its total endowment fund amounts to
#35,205, including four thousand dollars recently
given by James llunnewell, Esq., of Boston,
which makes the total of his gift #10,000. We
sincerely trust that some special efforts will lie
made to increase the fund to one hundred thousand dollars, as the College needs more teachers
and buildings, and with ample provision in these
respects, it might accommodate two hundred students.
REPORT
Of the <'••iiimiiK■■■ Appointed n> attend il.r
Kxmiiiiiai ion of Ihe Onhu College, on the
lllii, lglhnud 13th of June.
With the school year just closed, Oahu College entered upon it* second quarter of a century. It is
interesting to notice the change in the relative position of the institution indicated by the Catalogue of
Pupils, in which there are only fourteen out of seventy-four names who arc children of American Missionaries, while six are of purely Hawaiian parentage. This institution was commenced with reference
to the whole English-speaking community of these
islands; and it is gratifying that it has, thus early in
its biftory, develop*! so successfully in the direction
intended by its foumlers. The crowded attendance
upon the examination and exhibition gave full evidence that our community is not wanting in appreciation ofthe plan of the institution, and of the mode
in which it is being carried out.
The compression of the examination into a day and
a half was productive of increased interest, and did
not detract from its real value. A very marked improvement was apparent to those who could make
the comparis n, o\er the examinations of the last
few years, in the distinctness of utterance on the
part of the pupils. We would exhort both teachers
and scholars not to remit their endeavors in this very
important matter.

into bad company and broke my promise, and
while intoxicated fell over a spare mast near
the gang-way of the ship, and would certainly have been killed, had not one of the
men seized hold of me. He told me of it the
next morning. 1 sat down on the deck and
asked what will become of me. I thought of
the vows I made in the hour of danger to my
long suffering God. I thought of the many
perils 1 had escaped, and the many times I
had been delivered from death. My poor
father's last prayer for me came more forcibly tomy mind than ever, and as I leaned
over the side of the ship I wept where none
could see me, but Him who despiseth not

of the Divine Spirit working in my soul, and
my heart was softened. Rev. Mr. Damon,

Late New York papers, as well as private
letters, announce the death of this earnest
laborer in the seamen's cause. Some of our
renders may remember a long article published in the Friend of last September, entitled, "A Wandering Sailor brought home to
God." That sailor was Mr. John Byrns,
whose useful career has now been brought to
a close. Mr. Byrns had become well known
in New York as one of the most successful
laborers among seamen. He had been a soldier in the British army, and afterwards
scived as a sailor on board an American manof-war. He was a native of Ireland. Several years ago we read a letter written by
Mr. Byrns and published in the Sailor's Magbooks and tracts.
azine. From this letter we copy the followparagraphs :
In February, 1854,1 entered the United
States navy, and in July following sailed for
the Pacific, rejoicing that I was where my
relatives would never see me again,and purposing when I reached some foreign port to
run away from the service. But God's mercy
was leading me in a way I knew not. Four
ing
days out from Rio Janeiro we were overtaken
by"a storm. The waves rose mountain high,
the thunders rolled,and the lightnings played.
In the twinkling of an eye our mizzenmast
went by the board, and shortly after our
mainmast. We expected the foremast to follow. All hands were called to save ship—
the signal gun proclaimed distress and called
for relief. Terror was on every countenance,
and hurried thoughts of dear parents, of
wives and children whom they might never
see more, wrung many hearts with anguish.
But these thoughts did not trouble me. My
past sins rushed up before me, God's gracious spirit resisted. His long suffering provoked, and now I thought the barren fig tree
was about to be cut down. I exclaimed,
"well, I'm damned for ever, and justly too.
The Lord called and I would not obey, and
now he is going to destroy my soul." My
sainted father's last prayer came up to my
view, and I saw his raised hands praying
even in death for his poor wandering child.
I lifted my heart to God, and said, " 0 Lord
spare me but once more, and I will serve
Thee." I cried to Him for Jesus' sake to
save me. He heard my prayer, and we were
delivered from death. I continued to pray
for a time, morning and night, but did not
leave off drinking rum, a ration of which was
served out to us> daily.
Soon after it pleased God to lay his afflicting hand upon me. 1 was seized with inflammatory rheumatism, which deprived me
of the use of my hands and feet, and so racked
my whole body with pain, that 1 often wept
as 1 lay on the deck, and wk-hed I had never

so, and commenced to read and study
it, but the more 1 read, the more I felt condemned. I thought 1 had gone too far to expect forgiveness, and as my burden increased
I knew not what I should do. I roamed about
the deck ; I could not eat, nor remain five
minutes in one place. Where, thought I,
shall I now go ? My sin has found me out.
God will cut me down now, and I shall be in
hell for ever. Still I felt and acknowledged
his justice in so doing. I remained in this
wretched state four or five days. I did not
know that there was a christian on board, but
thinking that a very moral young man with
us might be one, I made my case known to
him. He replied, " You must not give way
so ; pray a little in the morning and at night,
and if you are sorry for getting drunk, God
is good and will forgive you ; so think no
more on the subject. You are weak in body,
and if you feel so, your health will give way.

'Poor Dog Tray.'" "Ah," said I, "shipmate, ' Poor Dog Tray' can't give me any
comfort now ; the arrows of the Almighty
are fast within me, and unless He restores
my soul nothing else will." He replied, "I
hope you are not going to extremes." "I am
going," said I, " to begin in earnest and seek
God. 0 that I knew where I might find
Him !" I continued to read my Testament,
but the more I read the greater was my bur-
den.
I was soon called to meet severe persecution. Wherever I went through the ship, I
met mockery and scorn ; but Jesus was with
me, and stood by me. In the night my hammock was let down by the men while I was
asleep, and I fell across a large chest. I was
not much hurt, but somewhat stunned, and'
holding on to a stauncheon, I kneh down and
prayed to my God not to lay this sin to their
charge. I was asked the next morning if the
Lord did not visit me during the night. Yes,

no one, I say it with respect and love to my
officers, shall prevent me from reading God s
word, and praying and praising Him.
After a little while the mouths of the revilers were stopped, so that I could walk up
boldly and speak to any of the crew about
the welfare of their souls. 1 continued to
pray for my shipmates, and soon had the
comfort of seeing a boy about sixteen years
of age come out on the side of the Lord. He
was next the mark for ridicule, but He who
never forsakes His children stood by him,
and delivered him from their snares. Seeing
this dear soul rejoicing in God, I felt much
encouraged to persevere in my efforts for the
salvation of my shipmates. We both united
in covenant to serve the Lord. Never shall

had much abuse to encounter, but I strove to

We learn that W. T. Brigham, Esq., of Boston, who visited the Islands two years ago,
is preparing, and will very soon publish, a
memoir on the geology of the Hawaiian Islands ; and that his companion, Mr. Mann,
will publish a work upon the botany of the
Islands. Some few pages of Mr. Mann's
work have already been received by Dr. Hillebrand. We are glnd to know that men of
science are laboriously toiling to investigate
the natural history of the Islands. Persons
competent to judge inform us that much yet
remains to be explored.

Hawaiian Evangelical Association.
Hawaiian Evangelical Association has been
session the past month, and engaged each
in discussing questions of vital importance
lag moral and religious well-being of the Hawaiian people. The reports from the various
stations throughout the islands all corroborate
the fact that vice, immorality and drunkenness
are rapidly on the increase, and unless soon
chocked by the stern authority of law, the Hawaiian race will ere long be numbered among the
K'he
put.
The attendance of missionaries, native pastors
and lay delegates from the churches is larger
than ever before. The association numbers not
for from seventy or eighty members, comprising
among them the most educated of the Hawaiian
race, and some really able native speakers, whom
,itis a pleasure to listen to. One can notice from
year to year a decided advance among them in all
the qualities that go to make leaden and teachers
of the people.
On June 13th, Captain William Reynolds, of
the Lackawanna, was present, and made a few
remarks to the association, which wo arc permitted to insert. No one is more competent to state
tho facts which he docs, as in 1839-42 he accompanied Lieutenant Wilkes in his Exploring Expedition, and visited nearly every group
of islands in the Pacific, saw the natives in
their own countries, under various forms of
religious teaching, and from perspnal observation makes his own comparisons. Coming from
such a source, the following statements will
carry weight wherever they may be read in any
part of the civilized world
:
ADDRESS Or CAPT. WM. REYNOLDS.
Mr Friekds—
It is not as a stranger, nor as the Captain of a
ship-of-war recently arrived, but rather as one whose
recollections of then islands go back to more than a
quarter of a century ago, and who subsequently
made hii home among you for many years, that I
venture to say a few words on this interesting occasion of the annual meeting of the American Missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands, at Honolulu.
So long ago as 1840 it was quite evident that
American influence, both lay and clerical, was thepredominant agency at work in shaping the religious, social and business relations of this people, and to my
brother officers and to myself it was most gratifying
to find that, under the auspices of our countrymen, a
very satisfactory state of things prevailed here, in
marked contrast to what had been observed at the
southern groups in this ocean.
I will endeavor to state briefly the prominent points
which then came under my notice, and which subsequently became more apparent to me, and to oiler in
passing, a slight contrasting allusion to the condition of matters in the South Pacific.
The relations between the foreigners residing
here and the Hawaiians were then, in the main
peaceful, and this unusual but happy condition has
continued to this day. Acts of violence between individuals of the two races have been almost unknown,
and, if lam not mistaken, it is only within a few
months that the life of a white man has been taken
by a Hawaiian since the advent of the American
Missionaries in 1820.
The Hawaiian people have been generally educated
in due regard to their capacity and needs, insomuch
that the bulk of them have been able to read and
write, and a fair proportion qualified to conduct such
business as pertains to their modes of life. Hawaiians have had seats for many years in Parliament,
have served as judges and jurors, and have engaged
in the practice of law and in various other callings
and occupations.
They possess the advantages of newspapers in the
Hawaiian language, and they are very much given
to writing letters to and fro by the post
The marriage tie was early established among
them, and the family relation encouraged with an
Improvement of their moral condition as remarkable*
as that of their intellectual advancement
Churches have been erected in every hamlet and
the Sabbath has ben as reverently observed as it it
at home.
The Bible was long ago published in the Hawaiian
language and distributed by the American Mission
•xMbsively among the people.
For all these advantages the Hawaiian people are
indebted to the gesvous kindness of American
friends, who, 48 yeartAgo, when the rest of mankind were indifferent to the welfare of the Hawaiian
race, founded a Christian Mission within this group,
and who have sustained that Mission with unfailing
seal and liberality np to the present day.
To the labors of these American Missionaries, the
Hawaiian people owe their written language and all
the literature they possess, as well as the education
by which they are enabled to read and write, and to
take a part in the affairs of life.
A college, a high school, divers boarding schools,
and a system of common schools, after the New
England model, have been the means by which the
American Mission have so successfully elevated the
Hawaiians above the ignorant state in which they
were found in 1820, and so early was this process of
instruction inaugurated and so successful was its
operation among the people that, when in later years,
Missionaries of another creed sought to establish a
footing here, they found it necessary Jo set aside their
usual practice of non-education, and to enter into
competition with the American Mission in the matter
of instructing the natives, in order to maintain their
ground at all.
Another wise and thoughtful act of the American
Mission was the establishment of a boarding school
for the children of the chiefs, in an excellent family
of the Mission, which gave to them the inestimable
advantage of the influence of a good New England
home during their tender years, in addition to the
educational opportunities thus provided for. This
school was in successful operation in 1840, and was
one of the most gratifying examples of the liberal
and judicious measures of onr countrymen for the
benefit of the Hawaiians that then fell under my observation. The present King, as well as the late
King, were members of this first Hoyal school.
I am not aware that any cotemporaneous Mission
in the Pacific, or any Mission established at a later
day in this ocean, has had so great a measure of
success attendant on their efforts, as has been the
case with the Hawaiians under the instruction of the
Missionaries from the United States.
At Tahiti, in 1830, the difference in favor of the
Hawaiians was very manifest, although an English
Mission had been established there at that time for
more than forty years, and over twenty in advance
of the American Mission here. Since then events
have placed Tahiti out of the comparison.
At the Tonga Isles, a civil and religious war was
prevailing in 1840, encouraged by the English missionaries of that day as stated by Captain Wilkes,
in the narrative of the U. S. Kxploring Expedition;
and at the Navigator Group, where is also an English
mission, civil and religious wars have prevailed of
late years, adding largely, of course, to the other
causes at work, in depopulating those islands.
At New Zealand, the newspapers of the day are
boasting of having the longest war on hand ever
known, between the English and the New Zealand
people. At these islands an English mission has
been established for more titan fifty years, and has
the benefit of a bishopric or two, in its support, a
sacerdotal aid which is the one tiling needful, according to modern opinion in certain quarters, when
the conversion of a primitive people from barbarism
to Christianity is to be undertaken. Yet mission
results in New Zealand, even with such a potent
priestly agency at work, have not had the highest
success or produced the most gratifying results.
Only last year a coasting schooner was cut off by the
natives, and an English missionary particularly selected and put to death, and afterwards eaten; a
little transaction which certainly does not exhibit the
most affectionate relations as existing between the
natives and their pastors.
Bishop Williams of Waipa, New Zealand, has published an account of Christianity among the New
Zealanders from 1805 to 1865, on which an English
critic remarks as follows : One of the most recent
acts of the New Zealanders in connection with Christianity was to eat a missionary or rather a missionary's brains, and the Bishop of Waipa may well say
that it may seem a most unfavorable tune for publishing a book on Christian missions, but more particularly one which professes to give an account of
Christianity among the New Zealanders. However,
the Bishop is not altogether dissatisfied with the
results of missionary labors and seems to think that
if Satan, in the form of Romish priests, could be cast
oat, true Christianity would make great progress."
That Bishop therefore finds Satan in the form of
Roman Catholic priests in the way of his making the
"
New Zealanders true Christians, after 50 years trial,
whereas another Bishop nearer at hand and newly
entered upon the mission field in the Pacific, finds
the obnoxious American Puritans (accorning to
a recent catechism, descendants of one Brown
and his followers who, settled New England after
cutting off the head of Charles the First, and it
may be inferred that these descendants came here
to cut off the heads of all the Kamehamehas) to be
kit Satan in the way of making the Hawaiians true
Christians, and makes no mention of the Romish
priests who have been here for many years, as impeding in any way the good cause of religious conversion.
These two prelates disagree so decidedly upon such
a vital point, that it is not likely that either of them
can be correct, and it is to be hoped that Bishop
Williams is as unjust, and as wide of the truth, in
throwing upon the Romish priests at New Zealand,
the onus of thwarting the conversion of that martyred race, of whom, out of a very large population,
but 40,000 are reported to be now left alive, as the
Hawaiian Bishop is in pronouncing the American
mission at the Hawaiian Isles, after an existence of
nearly half a century, to be a failure; and, in
charging it with making the people worse morally
than they were in their heathen days. It is with a
sense of shame for my kind that I feel compelled to
allude upon this occasion to such an extraordinary
statement, coming from such a source. If it could
be true, or even near the truth, the cause of missions
might well be abandoned all over the earth ; but
the common phases of Hawaiian life give to it a
denial, the mission of the Morning Star in carrying
Hawaiian pastors to evangelixe other isles gives it a
denial; the scenes of yesterday and of to-day give to
it a denial; turn which way you will, there is nothing to be found in its support. Indeed the wickedness of this assertion is only to be equalled by its
folly. Puritanism and immorality have never been
allies in any shape, and all the assertions of all the
Bishojie of Christendom cannot make it appear that
the American missionaries at these islands have
afforded an exception to the rule. The most complete defence of this American mission, if it needs
one, is to be found at this day in these facts: that an
Hawaiian Monarch is still upon the throne, with his
people and some thousands of foreigners living together in peace and security, while the Marquesas,
Tahiti and New Zealand have long since lost their
native kings,—that the Hawaiians arc an educated
people, and the churches and schools fully attended
throughout the group, that many Hawaiians arc in
the ministry; that some are at work as missionaries
at other isles, to the South and to the West; that
others are successfully teaching their younger kindred in the schools of the kingdom; that the moral
and social condition of the people corresponds with
the advancement of their education—that no civil or
religious wars have taken place since the advent of
the American mission in 1820, and that, as is fully
apparent to any truthful observer, the Hawaiians
generally love and respect the American clergymen
and teachers who have devoted their lives to the improvement of the Hawaiian race.
I do not for a moment suppose that you, my countrymen, of the American mission, require a word of
support from me; you can safely rely upon your
position, which is impregnable as it stands upon the
sure foundation of truth and cannot be disturbed
by the slanders of your enemies; but as it is my
good fortune to be present upon this interesting
occasion, as I have been for so many years a witness
of your good deeds and an observer of their excellent results, I could not say less than I have
said. I will close with the hope that you will neither
be dismayed nor discouraged by opposition from any
quarter, and that still faithfully supported by the
Awrerican Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and sustained by the admiration and by the
best wishes of all good men of your own, and of
every country, you will persevere in your Christian
work unto the end.
The following facts indicate that the
English people are sensible.. Who would not
prefer to jee a drunken man whipped to a
poor horse abused ?
Lord Francis Russell, who was lately fined
in England for abusing his horse, has justbeen
acquitted on a charge of punishing his coachman. The judge ruled that as the man was
drunk, the master had a right to thrash him.

We also have the corpse of Joseph Tiiekai,
a Mart|uesan chief, and one of the first converts to Christianity on the islands, who died
at Honolulu, and is being returned for sepul-
his native Fatuiva.
April 8. —At 4, A. M., Meto, a Marquesan
female, died. She came on board at Honolulu sick. During the day the corpse was
prepared for its watery grave, and at 4, P. M.,
by order of the master, our noble packet waff
arrested in her foaming track through the sea,
and she lay quietly upon the waters. Remarks were made, prayers offered, nnd tears
shed, when the remains of our Marquesan
sister plunged into the dark waves and passed
from our sight. Again the Morning Star
took the wind into her wings nnd rushed
ture to
through the waters at the rate of nine knots
an hour. It was a solemn season, and the
sudden arrest of the ship in her pathway
through the deep, nnd all the attendant circumstances of committing a fellow being to
a lone grave in this vast waste of waters,
seemed to impress us with the worth of man,
when the winds, the waves, the inanimate
ship, and all surrounding objects seemed to
pause in their career, and, with rational and
immortal beings, to bow in silent awe to the
high behest of Him who remands our bodies
to the earth and calls our spirits before His
bar.
Sleep, sister, in thy deep and dark tomb.
The " Dayspring from on high " dawned
upon thee ere thou wast called away, and we
have hope for thee, that when the sea shall
give up her dead, then thou will appear an
angel of light among the ransomed and joyous throng, which come up from all nations,
and kindreds, and peoples ami tongues.
Sabbath, April 21.—"Land ho!" rang
from our decks at dawn this morning. Light
winds, calms and a three-knot current have
set us far west of our codrse, and we are
among the Paumotu group, named by Bougainville " Dangerous Archipelago." Two
beautiful islands are within two miles (if us,
called King George's Isles, but in the vernacular, Taroa and Taputa. The larger is
fifteen miles and the smaller twelve miles
long, and separated by a channel four and a
half miles wide. They were discovered by
Le Maire and Schoutcr in 1616. They are
low coral ntolls, belonging to a group of
nearly one hundred, lying between the Marquesan and Society Islands; and they are
well named Paumotu, which means "A cloud
of islands.'' Different islands of the group
were discovered at different times nnd by
many navigators, as Quinos in 1606; Le
Maire and Schouter in 1616 ; Koggewein in
1722 ; Byron in 1765 ; Wallis and Carteret
in 1767; Cook in 1769, 1773 and 1774;
Bougainville in 1763; Boenecheo in H72
and 1774; Edwards in 1791; Bligh in 1792;
Wilson in 1797; Turnbull in 1803. Later
and more careful observations have been
made on the group by Kotzebuc in 1816,
1823,
Bellingshausen in ISI9,
Beeehey in 1526. Fitzroy in 1835, and
Wilkes in IS4I. Wilkes supposes the population to 'he ten thousand. The inhabitants
are in a degraded and, mostly, in a savage
state. Nearly all the islands are low, and of
coral formation, builded by that silent and
wonder-working architect, the zoophyte.
The sight of King George's Islands on a
bright Sabbath morning was truly charming.
The shores are one continuous belt of white
coral sand, kissed by the blue rippling wavelets. Within this encircling zone is a bright
garland of evergreens, composed of the cocoanut, pandanus, knu, and various shrubs and
grasses, so intertwined as to form a beautiful

that about one-half the number who left the

in the deep. This great mortality was probably occasioned in part by change of climate,
of diet, nnd of habits of life. But man dies
everywhere.
On*landing with these six returned .Marquesans the whole valley was alive, and the

This valley is three miles deep, the population one hundred. Hero the ship Twilight
was wrecked, and here is the place where the

United States in 1555 to obtain a missionary,

loba Honiae was once with Mr. Bicknell
on Oahu one year. He then returned a baptized christian to his native valley, where he
has taught school and kept up christian service on the Sabbath. He appears well, and
we think his influence has been for good
among his people. Among his scholars, five
read fairly in the Hawaiian Testament, and
fifteen in the Marquesan primer. We spent
the evening until very late, in examining, instructing and praying with candidates for
church communion, proposing fo organize a
church in the morning.
May 7.—Early this morning we organized
a christian church at Hanamenu, consisting
of ten members—seven males and three females. Of these, fout had been baptized by
Mr. Bicknell on Oahu, and six were new

land until Kekela, the resident
missionary, came on board, as the only safe
landing place had long been in the hands of
savage warriors, hostile to the friends of Kekela. After waiting a long time we discovered two sail-boats coming out of the bay—
one heading towards us, and the other steering west along the high shore of the island.
This soon disappeared, and we afterwards

learned that it was the last of a fleet of warboats and canoes returning from the war in
Puamau. The other boat contained Kekela,
who leaped on board with tears of joy, and
was surprised with delight on finding his
daughter, Maria Ogden, weeping on his neck.
Miss Kckcln is now seventeen years old, and
she has not seen her mother for fourteen
years, nor had she ever seen the valley where
her parents, sister and brother reside. The
meeting was affecting.
Kekela told us that the war had just closed;
that the last fighting was on the sth, the Sabbath previous lo our arrival ; that the lust
ally from other valleys returned on the morning of our arrival,-and that the people who
hud for months been hid in thickctsand rocks
and fortresses were beginning to crawl out of
their hiding places in the hills, and coiue
down to the shore. This was glad news,
and it seemed as Providential as joyful. The
door was opened for us among the heathen,
and we were invited to enter.
We went on shore with the Captain and
all the ladies. Landing near the French
Mission, we called on the priest who now occupies the station, and who very kindly offered his boat to Kekela to come on board the
Morning Star, Kekela being destitute of one
of his own. This priest speaks English, and
he once lived at Halawa on Oahu. We had
dispatches for him from his Bishop at Taiohae. He was very urbane and social, and
he received us with much cordiality. In
answer to the question how he enjoyed life
among these savages, he replied, " It is not
very agreeable." On leaving him he sent us
■ basket of large oranges and three loaves of
hot bread.
We walked one-fourth of a mile on the
beach, amidst a crowd of rude and garrulous
people, who almost frightened our ladies.
Many of them had just come out of war, and
there was a savage wildness, an impertinent
impudence and a ferocious license about them
which we had seen no where else. Natives
from other islands called them " wild bulls."
Their audacious disregard of order had been
probably enhanced by the late war. How
surely war develops the direst and most diabolical passions ofhuman nature. It makes
civilization savage, and savages infernal.
We found Naomi, Mrs. Kekela, well, and
overjoyed to meet her daughter, whom she
left in Oahu when only three years old. Kekela lives in a good house, built of stone,
twenty-two by forty-five feet, with attic and
cellar. It is the best house in the Mission,
and well adapted for a boarding-school.
At 9, A. M., Captain and Mrs. Bingham
came on shore, and at 11 we bade our six
fellow passengers from Hawaii, our ten christian brethren and sisters in Christ, and the
mixed multitude which gathered around, an
affectionate and sincere farewell, and returned to the packet. How faithfully this dear
vessel waits on our ministrations and administers to our wants.

sent their
contingents of one hundred and
fifty warriors, armed with spears, clubs and
fire-arms. They all came in boats and warcanoes, and spread terror through the valley.
The old, the sick, the women and children
fled and hid in the forests and jungle, while
the young ond the veteran braves kept watch
day and night. Had the large force in the
eastern part of the valley been bold, they had
swept all before them in the western part.
But they are all cowards, never fighting in
rank or in the open field, but always in ambush, where each man conceals himself, and,
like a tiger, leaps privily upon his prey. Still
they succeed in killing, wounding and capturing about as many, in proportion to the
numbers engaged, as the nations of Europe
and America. Nor do they think themselves
more wicked than christians in thus fighting
one another. When the savages kill two, we
call it murder. When christian generals

The war has disarranged all things here.
We found no scliool.no church, and we were
informed that no one came to worship on the
Sabbath except Kekela's immediate attendants, or family friends and domestics. This
seemed sad and painful. Kekela is a good
Hawaiian scholar, an intelligent man, and a
man of energy of character and diversified
capabilities. But he seems to have become
discouraged. His hands hang down, and he
had even talked of returning lo Oahu. His
pigs have been stolen, his donkeys and mule
killed and eaten,one ofhis out-houses burned,
anil a nocturnal effort made to burn his large
stone house. This failed by Kckela's being
awakened by the snapping of a firelock and
the flash of light. He arose, and the incen-
diaries lied.
We took Kekela and wife, with their four

and luxuriant valley, and the surrounding
scenery is more grand and diversified, if possible, than any we have seen. The great
rampart of rocks in the rear is the highest
point of all the islands, and it is usually hung
with a cloudy drapery. Like other places
described, the lofty spiral centre, the sharp
lateral ribs, the broken hills, the columns,
spurs, pinnacles nnd cones—some stratified,
some laminated, some round, some angular,
some pointed, some truncated, some perpendicular, some leaning, some compact rock,
some vesicular, amorphous, crystalline—in
all shapes and positions : horizontal, tilted,

fire, and all revealing their igneous origin.

This subject engrossed much attention, and
it was resolved to establish at once a boarding-school for girls at Puamau, under the
care of the Key. J. Kekela and wife, and a
school for boys ot Hakahekau, or rather at
Hakanahi on Uapou, under the care of Rev.
S. Kauwealoha and wife. For the purpose
of carrying these resolutions promptly into
effect, the delegates placed two hundred dollars in the hands of the.appointed teachers.
It is hoped that the schools will be in a great
measure self-supporting. The brethren believe that with eight dollars per scholar a
year, they will be able to furnish cheap cotton garments, such as will induce boys and
girls to live with them and be instructed.
These brethren have houses ample to accommodate twelve or fifteen children each, and
food in their valleys is abundant. We therelore have high hopes that these schools will
soon be in operation. Should this hope be
realized, we feel sure that the benevolent
ladies and gentlemen of the Hawaiian Islands
will rejoice to contribute in cotton fabrics,
clothing, cash, Sec. —enough to clothe these
sons !<nd daughters of the Marquesas, and to

heathen cannibalism. I have rarely seen

Many lessons, committed to memory, were
recited by the scholars, and one old and blind

of Matthew's gospel without a mistake.

Thursday, May 16.—This day opened with
the flash and rattle ofmusketry. The whole
valley was astir, and the surrounding cliffs
and lofty hills echoed with shouts and reverberated with the sound of arms. One discharge followed another from dawn till noon.
We were a little startled at first at the thought
that war might be at the door,but on inquiry,
we were informed that the firing was in
honor of Kauakamikihei, a celebrated prophetess, who had recently died. The heathen
party had built a house for the goddess
twenty-four feet long, twelve wide and fortyeight high. On the top of this house they
had placed a target, made of kapa, in the
form of a moon. At this target the men were
firing, and when one hjp it the valley rang
again with their triumphant shouts.
This man has rendered himself conspicuous as a spy, a robber and murderer. He

ornamented with trappings, and rigged with
a mast and sprit, and a sail of kapa. With
much noisy demonstration it was launched
and pushed out through a roaring surf, by
naked swimmers, into the open sea. Here
the swimmers left it and returned to the
shore. The canoe, without pilot, drifted
slowly out ai the buy; but the wind not favoring, it struck on the northern headland of the
harbor—advancing to therocks and receding
by the rush and retreat of the surf like a rani.
Seeing the peril, a native ran to the point
and shoved off the struggling craft, when it
sailed out to sea and disappeared.
I had a long talk with Teiiheitofe, a high
chief, about the canoe. He said it was a last
offering to their god on the death of the sorceress, or prophetess ; and that this sacrifice
propitiated the god, expiated their sins and
closed the koina, or tabu, which had then
lasted six weeks. During this koina, "all
servile work and vain recreations are by law
(of the pagans) forbidden."
At 3, P. M , we bade farewell to our friends
and the multitude and returned to the Morning Star, to sail for Hivaoa.

Kekela and family. Brother Parker, the native missionaries and myself came on shore
to hold service. More than a hundred people collected under the trees in front of Kekela's house, to whom we preached the "gospel of thekingdom." Many came with spears,
war clubs, whaling spades, harpoons, sharksspears, axes, muskets, bayonets fixed on poles,
long knives, flint, steel, tobacco pouch, pipes,
ice., and during service, little circles of three,
five or ten would strike fire, light their pipes,
have a delicious smoke, and then listen again
to the speaker. Some had the head shaven
all over; some in zones and belts—vertical
or horizontal. Some on one side, some on
the other; some with a tuflfof hair on the
crown, some on the forehead, some on the
occiput, and some hanging over the right or
the left ear. And thus it was with the tattooing. The wildest taste and the most fantastic and capricious figures were displayed
upon the face, arms, lower limbs, and over
the whole body. This tattooing makes the
males look dark and fearful. Children are
not tattooed; females butlittle. Consequently
they often look like anotherand a milder race
of beings.
Before service we had long talks with individuals and clusters of natives. Some were
attentive nnd solx-r. One old warrior, Meakaiahu, with head closely shaven and heavily tattooed, held quite a debate with me.
He said that we should hute our enemies,
and kill those who would kill us. When I
urged the doctrine and example of Christ, he
shook his head and said, What if I love my
enemy and he shoot me "t " When I illustrated and urged the reciprocal law of love,
how it begets love and vice versa, he felt the
truth and began to yield. He then said that
he had killed five men, and had a bullet in
his own body which entered close to the
spinal column, but he would listen tome and
fight no more. Immediately he requested
me to talk with his chief. In doing this, he

THE Fill END,

One Sabbath Out of Harness.
The Rev. Dr. Guthrie of Edinburgh, has
recently published a volume entitled " Out
of Harness." In consequence of some repairs at the Bethel, the Chaplain, for a single Sabbath, may be said to be'"Out of
Harness."
Although thus temporarily relieved, we
endeavored to improve the Holy Sabbath to
a good purpose. At 11 a. m. we attended
Kaumakapili church, where stood the Pastor,
the Rev. L. Smith, who has for more than
thirty years preached to a large congregation of Hawaiians, But few pastors have
toiled and preached more successfully. Rarely during that long period has the bell of his
church failed to ring at daylight each day of
the week to summon the people to a Morning Prayer meeting. As we entered he gave
out the text, •' For the son of man shall come
in the glory of his Father, with his angels,
and then he shall reward every man according to his works."—Matthew 16:27. He
preached extemporaneously, as do all the
American Missionaries when preaching in
Hawaiian. The singing was good and the
choir was assisted by a new organ, recently
imported from Boston. Having observed the
labors of the Pastor of this Church for so
many years, we can bear our most honorable

however, is that of teacher in the Batticotta
High School, entirely independent of the
mission, with eight teachers and 140 pupils;,
whose principal teacher is Robert Breckenridge, twelve years ago one of the teachers
in the Batticotta Seminary.
Our second call is at the dwelling of Wm.
Nevins, once a teacher in the Seminary as
above, now principal teacher in n large English school in the Wesleyun Mission, in the
town of Jaffna. All looks neat and comfortable about the house ; but as we are informed
the owner is absent, we pass on.
In the next house, we sit a few moments
upon the floor of the low verandah, and speak
with a woman, in middle life, who wishes to
be received to the privileges of the church.
She is the sister of Onesimus, whom the lute
excellent Mr. Poor redeemed from slavery
some forty years since, and gave him this
Bible name, and who proved his faithfulness
and love by standing by the dying conch of
his teacher, lying low in the grasp of the
dread disease, cholera. That dying scene,
that faithful native, and those tones of triumph, "Joy! joy! hallelujah," from those
lips, soon after scaled for the resurrection
morn, are ve*ry fresh in my memory, though
eleven years have patted since Mr. Poor's
death. The verse, "Precious in the sight of
the Lord is the death of his saints," had a
new and vivid meaning to me at that time.
When Onesimus dietl, a few years since,
this sister was a heathen, but his dying
charge to her to lie a christian, seems to
have influenced her much.
From the house of Thomas Scott, two
chairs were brought out for us, and we sut,
as it were, in the tent door, at the cool of the
day. This man is secular agent in the mission, and 1 have not forgotten how rejoiced I
wits on my first arrival in Ceylon, nearly
eighteen years ago, to deliver into his hands
two boxes specie, for mission expense, which
had been entrusted to my care at Madras.
My travelling companions (Messrs. Mills
and Noyes) were also glad, for I had disturbed their sleep by crying out in my dreams,
" thieves, thieves," so anxious was I to keep
the cash from the thieving Hindus, of whom
in my inexperience, I had greater fear than
I should have now. Thomas Scolt, who
was then a young man, is now getting grey,
and is the fnther of nine children. The
house looks very clean and comfortable. At
the call of her Missionary, Catharine, a
graduate of the Oodooville Female Boarding
School, comes out, and is congratulated upon
her attendance at church. Not all of our
young christian females, while unmarried,
are possessed of moral courage enough to
cause them to attend public worship—such a
public appearance being opposed to current
Hindu ideas of propriety. Catharine, however, is not likely to be thus troubled long,
for, on the Sabbath following, she was published to Daniel, a young medical student
with Dr. Green. An educated sister, Mary
Dickinson, or Chellamuttu (meaning precious
pearl) was married in 1863, to Cyrus T.
Mills, who is now a practicing native physician, at Manipay. He being of higher rank
than she, in the caste scale, met with great
opposition from his relatives. His mother

Trubner's American and Oriental Recoup. There is no periodical laid monthly
upon Our Table, which we read over with
more interest. It contains a list of new
works published, or in course of publication,
in America, North and South, in India,
Egypt, China, Japan, and mnny other countries. We have just received the number
for January, 1867.
From this number it nppears that Cairo in
Egypl is the great publishing centre of books
Poems, Sermons,
in the Arabic language.
School-books, Commentaries on the Koran,
Sec., arc continually issuing from the press.
The list of Japanese books is full of interest. A new Japanese Sensation Drama, in
ten volumes, illustrated, is to be found in
the list. A work describing Yeddo and
Miaco, appears in twenty volumes. A work
of Auguries in seven volumes, Discussion
on Mental Philosophy in ten volumes. A
hundred Poems by one hundred Poets, in
nine volumces, illustrated.
We lately noticed the fact stated in an
Oriental publication, that recently a Japanese ordered one dozen copies of Webster's
Unabridged Illustrated Dictionary, from a
book-seller in Yokohama.
A new monthly publication has been
started at Hongkong, entitled

The Protestant Churchman. —This is a
new weekly, eight-pages, religious newspaper, published in New York, and edited by
a number of Clergymen of the American
Protestant Episcopal Church, who are strictly
evangelical and anti-ritualistic in their opinions. We have received two numbers, and
find they contain articles headed " Hawaii
and the Gospel." From their tenor, we infer
ihcy were written by the Rev. F. S. Rising,
who visited the islands during the year 1866,
and so thoroughly acquainted himself with
their social, civil and religious condition.
The writer remarks, "No modern triumph
ol Christianity has been more satisfactory,
encouraging or remarkable, than the labors
of American Christians in the Hawaiian
Islands." We shall look with interest for
additional numbers as ihey may make their
appearance.
A Plea for the Pacific Theological
Seminary.—This is the heading or title of
preached by the Rev. Dr. Stone of
rst congregational church of Sail Francisco, advocating the establishment of " a
school of the prophets," in California. We
hope his efforts and those of his associates
may result in the founding and endowment
■non
of a Seminary, vicing in usefulness with
those of Andover, Princeton, Auburn and
those of the Eastern States.
Catalogue or Chicago Theological
Seminary.—We are glad to receive a catalogue of this promising and rising institution.
It has already been endowed with funds and
officered with an able corps of Professors.
Forty-six young men, are now enjoying its
advantages preparatory to the Christian
Ministry. This seminary, is designed to
educate young men, as Pastors for the Congregational Churches of the great valley.
Missionary Herald.—This ancient and
venerable Missionary periodical, now having
entered upon its v"3d year, has been vastly
improved in its interna] and external appearance. It has something more than renewed
its youth ! Hereafter, each number will be
accompanied with some map, cut or portrait,
illustrative of the foreign missionary enterprise. The officers of the American Board
have at their command at thier rooms, on
Pemberton Square, a richer store of missionary intelligence and literature, than is to be
found in any other place in America, and
they ought to publish a Monthly Periodical,
containing the very " cream of missionary
intelligence." The April number contains,
the likeness of the Rev. D. C. Scudder,
who was drowned, in India, November 19,
1562, only one year after entering upon his
missionary life. A memoir has been published by " Hurd and Houghton " of New
York, and a copy has made its appcaaance
at the islands. We hope soon to notice it
in our columns.

for January, 1567.—We are always glad to
receive numbers of this publication. For
this number we are indebted to the kindness
of Bishop Maigret. From the May number
for 1866, we learn that the Parent Society
at Lyons, in France, devotes as follows for

are glad to receive the annual catalogue of this venerable institution.
From it, we learn that Mr. James Daly,
well-known in Honolulu, is a member of the
Senior Class. One hundred and two students are now members of this Seminary,
gathered from among the graduates of 19
colleges, in various parts of the country.
Only one Professor remains, (bat lectured at
Andover in our student days. We refer to
the Rev. Prof. Parke, whose ability as a
lecturer is unsurpassed by any in the'United
States. We learn from this c.itnlosrue, that
the Rev. Dr. Anderson will deliver annually
a course of Lectures on Foreign Missions,
before the students of this institution.
Every Saturday.—We are. more and
more pleased with this Hebdomadal. The
selections are generally good and choice. It
is published by Ticknor & Fields, of Boston,
who publish also the "North American Review," "Atlantic Monthly," and " Our
Young Folks."
French WITHOUT a Master—in six easy
lessons—by A. H. Monleitb, Esq. He also
has written several oilier pamphlets, professing to instruct any one to learn, German,
Spanish, Italian and Latin, in six lessons,
without a teacher. They are published by
Peterson & Brothers, of Philadelphia. This
method ol learning a foreign language is
styled the Robertsonian. It may succeed in
other parts of the world,but wiil not certainly
in any part of the world which it has Been our
privilege to visit. The idea of u new beginner learning a foreign language in six lessons,
is perfectly absurd. Edward Everett, is reported to have learned Spanish in six weeks,
nnd Dr. Spring of New York, the French in
one month, but that Mr. Monteilh can teach
•ny foreign language in six lessons, is what
we do not believe. The only conceivable
method by which a youth could learn a foreign language, in six lessons, would be, by
means of a galvanic apparatus. Suppose
the types made of zinc, and then the wires
convey the language, hy a powerful "shock"
to the brain. In some Mich method, Sydney
Smith supposed a dull and stupid fellow
might be made to appreciate a joke! The
witty parson even thought it would lie necessary to trepan a Scotchman, in order to
make him appreciate an Englishman's
humor! Perhaps, if Mr. Monteilh should
jiersue this method, with a boy, he might
learn French in six lessons, but not otherwise
!

Riverside Magazine.—This is one of the
most fully illustrated and costly printed
Magazines for the young, which has ever
been issued from the American press. It is

A New Rig for Furling and Setting
Sails from the Deck.—There is now on
exhibition at No. 104 South street a working
model of a full rigged ship on Peterson's
plan for setting and furling the sails without
leaving the deck. The inventor of this
rig, Mr. Chnrles Peterson, of San Francisco,
'Cal., a practical seaman and sailmaker, has
been engaged for the Inst seven years in
bringing his plan to perfection ; and having
tested it fully four months on board the brig
Industry, in the Pacific coasting trade, he
claims for his invention the following merits:
That by its means all the sails of a full-rigged
ship, including the jibs and staysails, can be
furled from the deck in ten minutes, with the
employment of one-quarter less men than
are required with the rig now in use, and at
the same time dispensing with four ropes to
each sail. The ropes he employs occupy
the same positions on the deck and are called
by the same names as the old ones, so that
no difficulty will be found in teaching the
sailors their use, and the new rig can be applied to the sails of any old-rigged vessel.
The sails are rolled up from the bottom, and
'Can be made secure in a gale of wind without a man leaving the deck. The expense
of rigging a vessel is considerably lessened,
and the wear and tear of sails and rigging
reduced. The model works well, and the
plan seems to be well worthy the attention
of shipmasters and owneis.—N. Y. Times.

The family of Tichborne is one of the
oldest families in our northern country. Its
estates lie in the County of Hants. These
lands have been in the possession of this
ancient family ever since the ISorman Con-
Australia. Nothing was heard from him
after this time. So at the father's death the
younger brother was declared heir of the
Tichborne estates.
But now comes the story of the elder
brother's escape and adventures. It was true
that the ship in which Koger Charles sailed
was lost, with nearly all on board. But he
and four others saved themselves. They
scrambled into a boat and lived among the
icebergs of the Cape for four days and nights.
They were discovered by a passing vessel,
picked up, and landed at Valparaiso, in
South America. All that the heir of the
Tichborne family owned at this time consisted of a suit of clothes and a borrowed
hat. A Spaniard took pity on him and
aided him to make a comfortable living.
After gaining a knowledge of the people
among whom be bad been thrown, be traveled in the other South American states.
When he was at Callao, he became acquainted with a sea-captain in the Australian
trade, and offered to go with him as a ship's
steward. He was accepted, and in due
time he landed in Melbourne, Australia.
Out of gratitude to the Spaniard of Valparaiso, he took bis name, and was everywhere
known us Thomas tie Castro.
Alter leaving the ship, he went into the
interior, and got work as a shepherd. He
was faithful to his employers, and soon made
hosts of friends.
About this time he learned, through the
English papers, thai his father Sir James,
was dead, anil that his title and estates had
been assumed by his younger brother. As
he was very much attached to this brother
and was fond of his new mode of life, he
thought be would make no claim, but let

Year rolled by. The eccentric nobleman
prospered in business, and finally became
the proprietor of a butchering establishment
in Walla Walla, near Sydney, New South

an excellent butcher, and an honest man into
the bargain.
He married the daughter of a plasterer,
but never told her a word of his previous
history, until a few months ago. Mrs. Dc
Castro, as she supposed herself to be, presented her hrtsband with a daughter. He
heard at the same time of the death of his
brother and the news that the estate was to

England, under the title of James the First.
This bold act greatly pleased King James;
and as soon as he sat on the English throne
he created Sir John a baronet and knighted
his four sons.
This title descended from generation to
generation. The last of the Tichbornes who
bore it was Sir Alfred Doughty, of that
name. He died a few years ago. He wits
a wild and reckless prodigal. His net income—that is, his spending-money, after
paying all expenses—was £75,000 a year.
You can't imagine what a great sum of
money this is. It is quite equal to half a
million dollars in currency. Yet, large as
it was, he spent it all, and got into debt.
His extravagance was amazing. One of the
first things that he did, for instance, was to
order five hundred of the best breech-loading rifles, for his own private use. He could
not use more than one or two; hut the fool
and his money are soon parted, you know ;
and this was one of the ways in which he
squandered his means. Then he bought a
yacht, which cost h.iui $70,000. The Jews
loaned him all the money he wanted, at a
heavy rate of interest, as they thought that
there was no heir to the estate, and they
knew that it would sell for more than they
loaned him. You may have heard of the
law of primogeniture and entail in England.
By that law, no matter how many debts a
nobleman may have, when he dies, they
cannot be collected by the sale of his estate,
which descends without mortgage to his
heir. But, as Sir Alfred had no heirs, his
estates were mortgaged, and the Jews expected to sell them at his death.
But, on last Christmas, an heir landed in
England. He had come from New York,
and this is his strange story.
The chief of the Tichborne fnmily who
succeeded to the estates in 1853 bad two
sons at the time—Roger Charles (the eldest),
and Alfred, the prodigal baronet of whom I
have been speaking. Roger Charles was
24 years old and Alfred 14 when their father
became the heir,to the estates. The old
man died in 18S2. But, some time before

Mr. G. F. Seward, late U. S. Consulgeneral in China.—A correspondent ihus
writes us from Shnnghae, under dale of Feb.
6th, 1887: "Mr. G. F. Seward, nephew of
W. H. Seward, Secretary of State, goes as
passenger per Colorado. He has filled the
post of Consul-General in China for about
five years, with an ability and uprightness
one does not often witness in our officials to
the East. He seems universally regretted
by his fellow-countrymen and colleagues."
We hope the day may come when all
officials of the U. S. Government abroad,
may sustain characters which entitle them to
such testimony from their fellow-countrymen. If there is anything which makes an
American abroad blush for shame, it is to
have his country represented by men whose
conduct tends to bring reproach upon the
model Republic. We have known such
men sent to the Sandwich Islands, but a
brighter day has dawned !
The General Meeting.—The Annual
Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association will commence its sessions early next
week. The Rev. Mr. Pogue preaches the
Annual Sermon on Foreign Missions, nnd
the Rev. C. B. Andrews the Sermon on
Home Missions.
Late Rains.—Reports from the other islands and evidences meeting the eye in all
directions, make manifest that this year the
farmers and planters will not complain for
the want of rain. The country is looking
finely. Seldom have we witnessed such verdure anil greenness on the first of June.
General Health.—We have seldom
known so few strangers and seamen sick in
Honolulu, as at the present time. Only five
foreign patients are at the Queen's Hospital and eleven jtf the U. S. Hospital.
The annual meeting of the Ladies'
Stranger's Friend Society will be held on
Thursday afternoon, June 6th, at the residence of the Seamen's Chaplain.
An Indian Missionary.—We saw and conversed
with on Thursday morning last, au Indian of the
tribe, or association of tribes known iv California as
"The Piggere," from their subsisting a portion of
the year on roots, dug from the ground. The present
specimen of that much abused race came to these
Islands in 1850, with the late Mr. Win. Johnson, on
whose ranch he had been living, on the Sacramento
river, and with whom he continued to live at Komi,
Hawaii, until Johnson's death. During the past
three years, he has been at school with one of the
American missionaries on Hawaii. While there, bis
conduct is said to have been correct and religious,
and he studied hard, with the intention, as it now
appears, to become a missionary of the gospel u> his
own people. He weqt in the Comet, and while we
bid him God-speed on his mission, we indulge the
hope that he may in some measure be the means of
checking the "no quarter war which is now going
on between the whites and reds op this side of the
Rooky Mountains.
" La, the poor Indian, whose untutored mind,
sag*
God In trees, and hears him In thewind,"
is now being shot down "on sight," by white men,
merely because he is an Indian. It sounds queer,
that Hawaii nei, so recently in a state of barbarism,
should send a missionary to California. Our Indian's
name in his own country, is Moonon, in Hawaiian,
\?"???'• ia>er ofr.which has the some meaning in
English-Wind.C. Adv., 26M May.

A letter has been
received from this gentleman, dated Paris,
March 11th. He was then niKMit to leave
the city, in company with C. Brewer, Esq.,
and family, for ■ tour through Italy and Germany, to return to Paris about the Ist of
August. He refers to the immense preparations being made for the "Grand Exposition." Representatives from every nation
on the globe were there, building huts,
houses, pagodas, temples, churches, schoolhouses, and fitting them up, each in his own
peculiar style of architecture and fancy. He
refers to the Commissioner from (he State of
Illinois being unable to procure tools or
workmen in Paris, and being compelled to
send off to England. We hope some of our
island visitors at the Exposition,'' will occasionally furnish us with a letter.

feet elevation are scattered about the reef.
The horns arc about 16 mites apart, ami benr from each
other B. K. by B. and N. W. by N. A band of green water,
with sounding* from 0 to 17 fathoms, reaches across between
their., bulging out a little to the westward, over which the
Fenimore Cooper and the bark Gambia passed, in exploring
IIM shoal. These vesselsanchored under the N. W.end of the
reef, to the northward and a little to the westward of the islet.
On the wand luink east of theislet, the crew of the Daniel
Wood encamp!, and on coining away left some pig* there.
Their flagstaff remains on this bank, and there m another on
the islet, two try jsils are also <>n the Wood* bank.

Inexpressibly sad was the fate of the United

Honolulu in the niituiim of 1860, but which
was never more heard from. Wu can reudily recall thevisit of that ship's company.
Among the crew, there was a sailor, a native
of Massachusetts, who frequently visited our
office, and from whom we learned that he
was the writer of the following letter, published by the American Tract Society of
Boston. During the detention of the vessel
jn this harbor, his conduct was uniformly
circumspect, and such as became one who

Deaii Sir:—l am very much obliged to
you for the kindness you have manifested
towards me ; and, according to your request,
1 will give you some incidents of my life,
hoping they will interest you. I feel that
this statement is due to you, lor it was
through your efforts that prayer-meetings
were first established on board our ship,
which were the means of bringing me to a
knowledge of the truth ns it is in Jesus.
1 was born in Bolton, Mass. My father
died when 1 was young, leaving my mother
with four children. We were brought up in
the family of my grandfather, a deacon of
the Baptist Church, and a man of eminent
piety. When I was fourteen years of age,
my mother married again, and removed to
Lowell ; and hero commenced my career of
wickedness. I became addicted to the use
of intoxicating liquors, n:id was
a
leader in
all kinds of debauchery. Many a time, when
I came home drunk, did my mother plead
with me, with tears streaming down her
cheeks, to abstain from the intoxicating poi-
son. Oh! how many heart-rending,earnest
prayers, hns she offered at the throne of grape
for me. She never upbraided me, but strove
to reclaim me by gentleness and kindness.
Much against the advice of my friends, I
went, with some others, to Salem, and engaged to go ■ whaling voyage oi three years
, bound for the Indian
in the bark M
Ocean. Here I gave myself up, unchecked
by home influences, to all the desires of my
Corrupt heart. I drank the cup of sin to the
dregs. The story of my wickedness would

fill volumes.
In December last, I arrived in Boston in

The captain wished me to
go another voyage with him, and 1 agreed to
do so. but spent the most of my time in low
haunts in North Street and vicinity, until the
day before the ship was to sail. I was perfectly satisfied with my ship, and had good
wages; yet, doubtless led by the hand of
God, I left it, and shipped in the United
States navy, on board the O/iio. Soon after
I came on board, it was noised about decks
that some of the men were going to hold a
praytr-tneetitig on the orlop deck, which
caused much sport, and many remarks were
made about it. However, the meetings were
commenced, but for several nights 1 did not

go down. At last I was persuaded to go, and
saw what I never saw before.—sailors on their
knees, beseeching the throne of grace for
merry upon themselves and those around
then. And 1 felt what I had never realized
until now, that 1 was living in a state of condemnation, and without Cod in the world.
1 remembered all the sins I had committed
against God and our Saviour.and how many
times ho had preserved me when death stared
me in the face. 1 remembered the teachings
of my parents, and felt that 1 had sinned
agninst the clearest light. Oh, what would
1 not have given to recall my past life! I
went away, determined to attend the prayermeetings in future, and to mend my past life.
I tried to break oir all my bad habits, and
attended the meetings regularly; but it would
not answer. I could get no peace; I felt condemned. 1 lay in my hammock all night,
and prayed for hours, but I felt no relief. At
last, 1 got held of a book called "The Anxious Inquirer," and read it as I never bad
before. Il teemed to suit my eaae exactly,
and 1 strove to comply with the directions
which it contained.
I was greatly struck with the text of Scripture, "He that is ashamed of One, of him will
I be ashamed before my Father which is in
heaven." This condemned me, lor I was
ashamed to own Christ as the Saviour of my
soul.
I went down to meeting the next night
with the determination to come out on tinLord's tide, and tell them all that I had determined to seek the Lord. But what a
struggle I had with my proud heart! 1
thought I could nut speak before the crowd
that was down there. But 1 got up; the
tears streamed down my lace what I saul I
do not know; 1 cannot recollect a word.
Then 1 fell upon my knees, and poured out
my bean to God.
Oh! the joy that afterwards came into my
heart. Then I could feel uliat the love of
Cod was,and that Christ was precious to my
soul. 1 felt at peace with all the world.
After tint, I had no more trouble in getting
Up, and telling what Christ had done for me,
He " ran away from home," and thus obtained unrestricted opportunity to gratify his
rile propensities (o the uttermost.
It shows also the way of return from sin to
Cod.
First, he was led to " look at himself as he
was." Sinners will never come to Christ for
salvation till they see theirruin.
He resolved to "break off his sins." It will
avail nothing for men to be distressed at their
wickedness, and feel the utter wretchedness
of their condition, if they do not abandon it.
The prodigal not only felt his hunger, but
■aid, " I will arise and go unto my Father."
He sought "instruction." Though he had
no Christian friend to guide him, he found
direction in that excellent book, which has
pointed hundreds to trie Saviour. Many are
too proud to acknowledge their distress, or
ask what they must do to be saved.
When he learned what to do, " he did it."
That guide pointed him to Jesus—the sinner's only hope—and bade him throw himself on his mercy alone. No efTorts at selfreformation, no cries, nor tears, nor anything
which lie could do of himself were sufficient.
He must gire himself to Christ, ask him for
salvation, trust in him for it, and begin a life
of obedience to him.
He "acknowledged" Christ before his
shipmates. God kindles the flame of his
grace in the heart, not to be hid there, hut to
shine out, and guide other poor darkened
souls to the truth.
Christ heard the prayers of this returning
prodigal, anil gave biin peace. He will save
all that will come to him. Dear reader, will

with the English post-mark, making inquiries for a curtain young American doctor who
had greatly befriended an English gentleman
during a long and dangerous attack of sickness in New Orleans a numher of years ago.
This grateful gentleman had died and left
our poor young man a very large estate.
Ten years ago and less, there lived in the
city of New York a clergyman whose name
and memory are sacred to thousands of grateful, loving, revering hearts. He has not been
dead long; he will never die out of the holy
affections of the people before whom he came
in and went out so many years. Among his
people there was one man, and he was of
large wealth, who seemed to make it his
special business, as it*was his highest happiness to see that this reverend pastor wanted
nothing. It was not a litful care. It did not

watcher, by no fault of bis own, failed for
almost millions; any recovery was absolutely
hopeless. The grief that oppressed him most
was the loss of ability to help the helpless.
Men looked on, wondered,and began to question if Providence would let such a man come

off, and marked Protestant Missions. Here
a Protestant house of worship is to be erected, in which there is to be a. daily prayermeeting rrnd preaching in various languages,
so that the people ol all climes may bear in
their own tongues the wonderful works of
Cod. There is also to be a building for the
distribution of liibles and religious books ami
tracts, in all languages, where also the various Christian missionary societies will display the results of their success in civilizing
and Christianizing the barbarous nations and
tribes of heathendom.
As American Christians have been earnest
in their elforts'to evangelise the world, it is
proper that some of the results of their labors
should appear in this most interesting department of this World's Fair. The American
Board of Missions, the American Bible Society, the American Tract Society, and possibly other missionary societies in this country, have made shipments to the Exposition,
as illustrations of what they are doing in the
great work of giving the Gospel to the nations of the earth. There will thus be not
only a fuller and more intelligent revelation
of the world-wide and world-embracing efforts of Christian seal and activity, but a direct anil constant endeavor to bring the
power of divine truth to bear upon the millions who are expected to assemble to witness this grand display of the results of human industry and art.

Nbwßooi.—Tuk War in Nkw Zkaland. By William fox, A. M., Oxon.. late Colonial Secretary
and Native Minister of the Colony. With two
maps and a plan. London : Smith, Elder A Co.
1866.
We are very glad to get hold of a book
which speaks with some degree of authority
respecting the late war in New Zealand. As
the Maories, or aborigines of New Zealand,
belong to the great and widely scattered Polynesian family, we feel a deep interest in
whatever relates to their condition, welfare
and destiny. Occasional notices that a war
was raging in New Zealand between the
aborigines and the British forces, is all that
the public has known upon the subject. This
book opens up the subject. We learn from
a gentleman recently from that part of the
world, and who has long resided in the country, that it can be relied upon for accuracy
of statement and general impression.
That our readers may be able to obtain a
somewhat tolerably correct idea of the state
of affairs in New Zealand, we commence by
giving the population of the islands.
Population. —ln 1842, the best estimates
gave the native or Maori population at 114,-000. In 1850, a Wesleyan missionary estimated the population at 70,000. In 1858,
the Government returns put the population
at 55,970. Mr. Fox expresses the opinion
that the Maories now do not number over
45,000, and still upon the rapid decrease.
"A people," he remarks, "that -has no children, must die out."
The European population in 1864 was estimated at 171,931, and the increase was
very rapid, so much so, that in 1866, Mr.
Fox estimates that it reached to 200,000.
From this book and other sources, we learn
that the Colony is rapidly increasing in population and material wealth. From 1857 to
1866, the gold mines alone of New Zealand
yielded, according to Governments reports,
£11,207,179, or well nigh 860,000,000.
The War.—The late war appears to have
been a most expensive affair, but terminating
in no definite results. It has been carried on
at a cost of over £3,000,000, or 9 15,000,000.
At most, only about 10,000 regular troops
have been in the service, and on the part of
the Maories, the estimate is 5,000 and upwards. Pitched battles have been but few.
The main warfare has been skirmishing and
attacks upon fortified places, or pahs, as they
are styled by the natives.
The Governor of the' Colony, Sir George
Orey, and General Cameron, appear to have
been upon anything but good terms. What
one ordered the other would countermand.
They were about as good friends as Prcsi
dent Johnson and the Republican Congress.
After fighting for two or three years, Mr.
Fox thus sums up the military results of the
war: That the men were personally brave,
and their officers brave, and the reverse the
rare exception, is readily admitted. But it
cannot be concealed that the campaign, as a
whole, added little to the laurels of the British army. Except Walcheren, New Orleans,
and some passages of the American war of
Independence, I can recollect no military operations of which, as a whole, we have less
reason to be proud."
•
Mr. Fox admits most frankly that, in a
military point of view, the whole war has
been a stupendous failure, with no definite
results.
" Let it be admitted that we have
yet to learn the art of fighting savages. God
grant that it may be the last occasion on
which the British army may have to do it."
This volume contains some interesting
statements respecting the strange fanaticism,
called the " Pai Marire," which has arisen
among the natives of New Zealand, and resulted in the murder of the Rev. Mr. Volkner
and other atrocities. One of the great and
prevailing evils which has long existed amoog
the Maories of New Zealand, has been the
fact that they had no central government.
They have had an abundance of chiefs, but
really no king-chief, such as has existed on
our group of islands. This fact has operated
to retard missionary operations, as well as
resulted in perpetual difficulties between the
Maories and the British Government and
colonists.
What may be in store for the dwellers upon
our fair islands—aborigines and foreigners—
is known only to the great Killer of nations ;
but one thing is more and more apparent to
the careful observer, that the American missionaries were wise in sustaining, by all the
weight of their influence and authority, the
native government, when it has been threatened by foreign powers. There have been
crises in the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom when it seemed that foreign influences
would overtop and crush the Kainehaiueha
dynasty and the Government. Such influences have subvened the native rule in other
parts of Polynesia, but hitherto that fate has
been averted from this Kingdom, and we hope
a long period may elapse ere such a result
shall be experienced on-Hawaiian shores.

It actually resulted in the paralysis of his
body, from which he has never entirely recovered. Mr. L. has followed this business
for years, and experiences no injury, seldom
descending lower than seventy or eighty feet.
He remains for hours under water, and once
walked, off Point Judith, about five miles upon
the bottom of the ocean. Ordinarily he can
see twenty or thirty feet without difficulty,
and frequently meets with fish and other inhabitants of those watery regions.
Mr. L. expressed some surprise when informed that Sandwich Islanders would descend much lower than any depth yet reached
by American divers, however completely they
might lie protected by their armor.
The following facts may be relied upon.
In the month of August, 1813, H. B. M.'s
ship Dublin, Admiral Thomas, lost a heavy
anchor weighing seven thousand eight hundred pounds, in over thirty fathoms of water.
Under the direction of His Excellency Covernor Kekuanaoa, natives were employed to
dive for the purpose of attaching a hawser.
Several divers tested their abilities, when one
was found, who descended once twenty-nine
fathoms, and again thirty-two fathoms, (192
feet,)and remained sufficiently longto adjusta
rope to the anchor's fluke. When he came up
blood issued from his ears and nose. No serious results followed. The kanaka is still living
in the employ of His Excellency. Admiral
Thomas gave him $200 for performing a feat
which probably no American or European
could accomplish. This fact is probably
owing to the custi m of Hawaiians living so
much in the water. An Hawaiian woman
once swam about twenty-live miles, having
been thirty-six hours in the water, and during most of that lime carried her husband
upon her back. This remarkable instance
occurred about lliirty years ago, when a native schooner foundered at sea in the channel off Hawaii. The woman finally reached
Kahoolawe, and subsequently lived for several years.

and some of the Tonga islands of the South Seas,

"Pictorial Sanctum."—Having occasion to
visit the editorial sanctum of our neighbor of tho
Advertiser, we found it " swept and garnished."
Kvery book, pamphlet and exchange newspaper
was in its place. The room was decorated with
the most expensive engravings (for sale, ol course.)
For an editor's room to be found in such complete
order appeared vory surprising. We really think
the last nuuiber of his paper was more •' newsy
and better edited than common. We advise all
editors to clean up their sanctums, and it may
improve their papers.
In a recent interview with Mr. J. P.
Lougee, the American diver, (who accompanied the Caroline Mills on her expedition to
rescue the treasure of the Libelle on Wake's
Island,) we learned some facts relating to the
subject of submarine explorations, which may

be interesting to our readers. Mr. Lougee

Hawaiian* of the crew, expert swimmers, were
active in the water in securing provisions. The
Captain decided at once to proceed to Honolulu
for assistance. Taking a favorite large whaleboat, named the Ann E. Wilson, he put on her
what the sailors call a "sister gunwale" und u
wash-board," and declared his intention to
"start
for Honolulu. As an instance of Yankee
enterprise nnd determination of character, under
difficult circumstances, it is well to mention that
the only tools the Captain and his men had to
operate with in making their boat seaworthy for
the long and perilous voyage of nearly five hundred miles to this port, was n saw, a hummer and
a chisel. The nails with which to fasten their
work they had to draw from the fastenings of the
other boats.
On Tuesday, the- 10th, the tKiat being ready,
the Captain, second officer und six men embarked
at 3 p. «., with a necessarily limited stock of
water and bread, bound for Hodolulu, leaving
twenty-seven of their shipmntes on the sand bank,
doubtless with a feeling of uncertainty, both on
the part of those who went and those who remained, as to whether they should ever see one
another again. One party left on an unfteipiented barren sand beach in mid-ocean, and the other,
with scanty provisions, undertaking, in an open
boat, a sea voyage ofhundreds of miles.
For the first lour days after leaving the shoal
the Ann E. Wilson encountered strong winds
from the north nnd north-northeast, but made
very good headway in the desired direction, sometimes pulling and sometimes sailing when the
wind gave a slant. For prudential reusous nil
hands in the boat were put on an allowance id'
one pint of water nnd one biscuit n day. Thus
they struggled on, until Sunday morning, April
23d, when they made the Island of Niihiui.
Landing there, they were most hospitably nnd
kindly received by the proprietors of the Island,
Captain Sinclair and family, of whom Captain
Richmond speaks in the highest terms. Leaving
Niihaii at 0 o'clock on Monday morning, they
continued their course for Honolulu without
touching at Kauai. During that night they
spoke the Montie.cllo, Capt. Phillips, who gave
them the course to steer, their compass having

About one year ago, Capt. Howes, of
the brig Lubra, touched at Honolulu on his
voyage to China, and we had the privilege
of forming his acquaintance at our office in
the Sailors' Home. The vessel did not enter
the inner harbor of Honolulu. A brief account of the sad affair, described in the following letter, has already been published, but
as this is given by Capt. Howes' wife, it
merits publication.
THE CHINESE PIRATES.
aBAErcxiMoCg-astfpunhnmWife.
freCaptin's
The Yarmouth Register publishes a letter
from Mrs. Lucy J. Howes, wife of Capt.
Benjamin P. Howes, who fell a victim to
Chinese pirates, giving an affecting history
of that tragical event, which occurred September 23, 1566:
We had supper on deck that night about
six o'clock, and had just finished our tea and
were walking the deck, when our attention
was called to a small Chinese junk coining
directly towards us. She was soon within
speaking distance, and it was almost calm.
The junk could sail when we couldn't make
any progress. The captain of the junk hailed
us, wishing to know where we were bound,
and if we wanted a pilot. By this time we
began to mistrust his character, and as they
ranged alongside, Benjamin (Capt. Howes)
told them to keep off or he would blow them
out of water, all to no purpose. Benjamin
and the mate found their pistols unloaded
and useless, and just as they got on deck
again, the pirates were boarding us and
throwing their stink-pots. Benjamin told me
to go below, and I did as directed. Carrie
was lying down on deck. I called for her,
and Benjamin rushed up just in time to save
her, for as he came below the shots were flying about his head.
The pirates, to the number of ten, I should
think, now rushed into the cabin upon us,
und demanded gold and opium.
We were terribly frightened. Benjamin
told the mate it was of no use to fight, for
they would overcome us and kill all hands.
The pirates said, if we would not fight they
would not hurt us. Benjamin told them
there was no gold or opium on board, and 1
told them the same, and they seemed to pay
more attention to me than to him, on account
of my being so frightened, I suppose.
The pirates now became very much excited, searching every hole and corner in the
cabin. My trunks were turned inside out,
and my room the same, and even the bed
was torn nil to pieces. They then threatened
us with death if gold and opium were found
on board the brig. They said—" You speake
lie, we kill you all three."
My nurse went forward with the babe in
the outset. After a while the pirates all left
the cabin and went forward and between
decks, to search among the cargo.
We had a Chinese cook and steward, and
it seems they, talked with them, for after a
while they came below again, quite excited,
demanding the gold, Sec., saying: " You got
coolie man; coolie man say you got gold, you
got opium—we want." They repeated this
demand two or three times. At this time
six or seven coolies and the head man, or
captain of the gang, came below. Two stood
by me, one with a drawn sword in his hand,
and the other had his in the sheath. The
rest of the gang seized Benjamin and tried
to force him on deck, threatening all the
time to take his life. They did not seem to
want to kill him below. They struck him
twice with the flat of their swords ; still he
resisted and denied the existence of any gold
in the brig. I again told them the same
thing. They now looked first at me and then
at him, then at each other. I was dreadfully
frightened. The man who stood by me with
his sword sheathed attempted to draw it and
started toward Benjamin. I started and laid
my hand on it to stop him, but he turned
upon me very fiercely, without speaking, and
drew his sword. I now thought it my best
plan to keep quiet, but 1 believe my interference saved his life for the time being, but oh
my God ! what a fearful night!
We were guarded all the time by a man
with a drawn sword at the cabin door, so
there was no chance of escape, If I could
have got out I would have jumped overboard
rather than run the risk of being cut to pieces,
as we expected to be. The pirates helped
themselves to anything they wanted in the
cabin, such as what money they could find,
together with articles of jewelry, wines, &c.
We now were left unmolested for a couple
of hours, I should think. We both sat on the
sofa with little Carrie between us, she asleep
a part of the time. I asked Benjamin if he
thought we should have to go through the
same scene again. He answered that he
could give me no hope to the contrary. He
did not seem to think they would kill me and
the children, at least, but we made up our
minds to meet our fate and all go together.
We both hoped to be shot, as that seemed to
be the most merciful way of being killed. I
could now see the pirates firing aloft, and
heard them calling to the men to come down,
and could distinguish the second mate's voice.
We heard them at work stowing their boats,
but most of the pirates had now left. After
a while all was still, the tiring censed, but I
could see a few of the pirates about the decks.
At this time the man who guarded the
cabin door pointed a musket right at my
head. I dropped it on,to Benjamin's shoulder, exclaiming, " They are going to shoot
us after all." (We had begun to have a slight
hope of escape.) The cabin door swung open
now, and Benjamin said, " It is our fate,
Lucy, and we must meet it." A few seconds
after this one of the bead men came into the
cabin and spoke to us. He said they were
going away then, and seemed very solemn.
I sat up and spoke to him, too, begging him
to spare our lives, but he paid no attention to
me, but went again on deck. Immediately
thereafter thefe was a shot. It was so near
my head I thought I was hurt. Carrie was
crying, but I heard nothing from Benjamin.
1 had almost fallen, but this fact recalled me.
I looked at Benjamin and found he was dead.
He never groaned or moved a muscle. I took
his pulse to see if any life remained, and just
then one of the pirates came down. I dropped
on Benjamin's shoulder and let the blood flow
over me, at the same time holding down
Carrie, for I fancied he had come to dispatch
us. I lifted my head and told him to shoot
me. He lighted a small piece of candle and
sat it within a few inches of my head on the
table, (I believe he thought me wounded,)
and then went on deck.
The thought now flashed across my mind
that Carrie was alive, and for her sake I
ought to live, so I blew out the candle and
dropped down on Benjamin's bosom, holding
Carrie and hushing her under my breath all
the while. I saw no more of them, but before leaving one of the pirates threw a block
of wood weighing six pounds in at the window, which struck Carrie on the head and
hit me on the side. Carrie's head was badly
swollen and discolored, and my side considerably bruised. Jt is a wonder the child was
not killed. 1 fancy he meant to kill me, and
I kept so still I fancy they thought me dead.
After this I heard no more of them. All was
now quiet for a few minutes,only Carrie still
crying. Directly I saw some one creeping
cautiously around aft, and soon recognized
the second mate. I took Carrie and went on
deck, meeting him at the door. I told him
the captain was killed, and asked him who
was alive. He answered, " Mr. Hall, the
mate, is dead, but there are two men besides
myself alive." My nurse, I learned, jumped
overboard, but first laid the babe down by the
capstan on (he topgallant forecastle. The
nurse, I suppose, was killed or drowned.
Mrs. Howes then goes on to describe a
narrow escape from being blown up, and as
there was powder in the hold of the Lubra,
the pirates bud laid and ignited trains with
the view to the destruction of the ship by fire.
The following evening the ship Lawrence
came along-, nnd took those left alive and the
bodies of the killed to Hongkong. Captain
Howes was buried on the 25th of September—his funeral being the largest ever known
at Hongkong. Mrs. Howes was very kindly
treated by the people, and was waiting to aid
in identifying the pirates, of whom the people were in search.

vessels in the whaling business from Frovincetown the present year is 43, carrying
750 men and boys. Of these 24 have arrived, bringing in about 2300 barrels of
sperm oil and 3200 barrels of blackfish oil,
being 700 barrels less in amount of sperm,
and about 100 barrels more of blackfish than
last year. The higher price, however, at
which the sperm sold this year compensates,
to a considerable extent, for the decrease in
quantity, but one or two more vessels are
expected to return the present season. On
the whole, the business has been prosperous.
The greatest voyage made was that ol
schooner Mary (i. Curren, Win. Curren
master. This schooner was new, and sailed
at a cost of $24,500, and after an absence of
fifteen months, sent and brought home 800
barrels of oil, which sold for $45,000, leaving for the owners a net profit ofabout $21,-000.
Several new vessels in process of
building, are to be added in the coming season to the fleet.—Repub. Standard, N. B.
October, 1866.
Now, Christ has instructed many by
the way, and been ready to enter into their
hearts and dwellings; but for want of an invitation to tarry, he has gone by.

UNITED
NTH
TBANOHCIRSEFT'YSTATES—NI
VOLUME.
This is the third volntiK' of the History of
the American Revolution, and ninth of the
general history of the Unik'd States. More
than thirty years ago, while a student in
college, we remember to have read Bancroft's first volume, and it has been our privilege to read the successive volumes as they
have appeared at comparatively long intervals, or upon an average of about one volume in three or four years. This history
has been Bancroft's life-work, but a noble
work. During this long period he has freely
participated in the stirring events and
politics of the country, and frequently enjoyed the honors and emoluments of office. At
one time he was Secretary of War, at
another, Minister to England, and by the
very last mail the report comes that he has
been appointed Collector of the Port of Boston.
During his life, the idea that he was the
historian of the United States does not appear to have been absent from his mind.
While he has been writing the history of his
country, that country has been growing in
size. Thirty years ago, all those vast regions west of the Rocky Mountains were
almost terra incognita. It was in 1836, we
believe, when the Rev. Mr. Spaulding and
Dr. Whitman, —with their heroic wives—
crossed those mountains as Missionaries of
the American Board. Those ladies were
the first white women who had ever undertaken that perilous journey. Perhaps to Dr.
Whitman, more than to any other human
l>eing, is our country indebted, for having
opened a pathway to the advancing troops
of immigrants and secured lor our country
tlic rich valley of the Columbia River. The
visit of Dr. Whitman to Washington, during
the per.oil of Mr. Webster's Secretaryship
under President Tyler, resulted in most important events to Oregon and our country.
When some future Bancroft shall write his
country's history, due prominence and credit
will be given to the murdered missionaries
of Oregon ! That same historian will not
fail to hold up to deserved contempt and execration others who figured about that time
in the allairs of Oregon.
We have perused the ninth volume of
Bancroft with intense interest. It relates to
the Declaration of Independence, and the
military movements subsequent to that event,
including, of course the narrative of the
battle upon Long Island, the occupation of
New York city by the British troops, the retreat of Washington through the Jerseys,
the surrender of Burgoyne, and many other
important military events. Not the least
interesting portion of the volume relates to
the correspondence between the various European Governments —including France,
Russia, Spain, and various German kingdoms, respecting the new born Republic over
the great waters of the Atlantic. Our narrow
limits will not allow us to dwell upon this
interesting topic, but we can most.cordially
recommend this volume to the careful perusal of the lovers of historical rending. When
we finished reading this ninth volume of
Bancroft, we felt somewhat as Dr. Johnson
remarked that he felt when finishing reading Pilgrim's Progress, this is "one of the
few books which every reader wishes had
been longer." We have this consolation,
however, Mr. Bancroft promises that shortly
he will publish the tenth volume, which will
complete the American Revolution. " For
that volume " says Bancroft, '• the materials
are collected and arranged, and it will be
completed and published without any unnecessary delay. A single document only had
been wanting." But for this document he
had sent to Mr. Biglelow, the American
Minister at Taris, and the French Minister,
M. Drouyn dc Lhuys, had ordered a copy to
be made from the archives of the French
Government. When historians take such
unwearied pains to verify their statements,
well may their readers take delight in the
perusal of their writings.

dwell briefly upon the life and character of
one who has, in the prime of his manhood,
and the midst of a career of eminent usefulness, been suddenly removed from the bosom
of his family and the busy scenes of official
life. The announcement of his death, so unexpected, gave a shock to this community,
and the spontaneous closing of places of business indicated the esteem and respect which
was entertained for the deceased. The Government in whose service he has so Jong been
employed, and the community at large, have
paid becoming respect to his memory. As
it was my privilege to have become acquainted with him before that of any other
person on these Islands, to have labored with
him in various works of benevolence, and for
ten years to have been his Pastor, while he
officiated as Deacon of this Church during
most of that period, I have felt that it would
not be deemed unbecoming on my part to advert to his life and character, now that he has

introduced him to merchants and officers of
Government. It has always been a source
of much gratification to my mind that he
then appreciated my kindness, and never forgot it.
He arrived at Honolulu on the 30th of
March, 1844, and hence spent aboutone-half
of his life a resident on the Islands. Before
landing, and before I had ever seen him, he
wrote me a note, requesting the loan of some
books for a cruise upon the Northwest Coast.
(At this time he was on board the English
ship Peruvian, Captain Brooks, of St. Johns,
New Brunswick.) Accompanying the note
he forwarded a few poetical effusions for publication. One of these was entitled "An
Early Impression," but written at sea, and
from it I quote as follows :
"How oft. when but a child. I've roamed
Anion); the tombstones );ray.
And marked the records of the dead
Whose ashes round me lay.

How pleasing to go. back to a very early
period in his life, and recall an event like
this. Such were the thoughts suggested to
young Robertson's mind, from having in
childhood and youth wandered among the
graves of his Scottish ancestors. How forcibly do his musings remind one of Gray's
in a Country Churchyard." In or"derElegy
*.o show that his musings at this period
of life, were not the mere promptings of a
fanciful and poetical mind, but that underneath there was running a deep current of
religious emotion, I quote thefollowing hymn,
the manuscript of which he then placed in
my hands:
"Jesus, my Lord, my Savior.
I rest my hope on thee.
For thou hast said, I am the way,
•
Come eiiter in by mo.'
(eel that 1 can place no trust
(In aught beneath the sky.

"I
"Be thou my guardian and my friend.
In all my Wanderings here.
And make my soul's eternal home
Where thou art ever near."
Here we have the unmistakable proofs that
the teachings in his Scottish home, and at
the kirk, made a deep «nd salutary impression upon his mind. He was educated amid
home influences, such as Burns so beautifully
portrays in the " Cottar* Saturday Night."
Fortunate for him and the world, those early
impressions were never effaced by contact
with the rough world. In view of such home
influences, Burns might well exclaim

�THI
Valuable Suggestions.
The Rev. N. G. Clark has become the
Foreign Secretary of the American Board,
in the place of the Rev. Dr. Anderson. A
recent communication from the new Secretary contained the following " postscript,"
which has been placed at our disposal. It
was not intended for publication, but as the
ideas are valuable and opportune, we gladly
spread them before our readers :
" I trust you will bear with me, brethren,
if I refer to a subject which has been a good
deal in my thoughts, in considering the state
of our churches here at home, and their slowness to meet the demands of the missionary
enterprise. It is the personal responsibility
of every member of the church for the progress of the Gospel. It is a sad fact, characteristic of most of the churches in this
country, as well as of Protestant churches
abroad, that the great work of evangelization
is confined almost wholly to the ministry,
and to a few elect souls in every Christian
community who are in"some measure awake
to their responsibilities. This type of Christian activity we have inherited from the
days of priestly rule, when the laity had
nothing to do, but everything relating to religion was left to the priests. Its legitimate
fruits are already reached here, in the degree
to which the Gospel actually pervades the
popular mind and heart. The church holds
its own, and but little more. It is a power
in the land, but not the controlling, all pervading power it ought to be, and must be, in
order to the thorough evangelization of our
own country. Progress is making in the
right direction by the steady development of
Christian activity, but till the church as a
whole conies up to its privileges with one
heart and one mind, its great work will not
be done ; the infidelity anil worldliness of
our time will not be put down, our science
and philosophy, our social and political institutions will not become truly Christian, and
promotive only of Christian culture.
" Let the same spirit which prompted you
to go abroad, be inspired in the hearts of all
your converts. Let every man, woman and
child feel that in coining to Christ, and becoming sharers in the blessings of the Gospel, it becomes at once their duty to extend
these blessings to others; that their covenant vows in the service of Christ are not
mere word%, but solemn realities. Let each
new convert be taught at once to speak and
act for Christ, and to give of his earnings to
promote his cause. However poor in this
world's goods, however humble in position,
everything hcncelorlh for Christ. Let every
native convert feel that be is a fellow-worker
with you in the evangelization of his countrymen ; that while you plant he is to water,
that God may give the increase." Let the
truth go from mouth to mouth, from heart to
heart, as among the Cols of India, as recently
in Ebon, and in Ponape. The example of
some individual churches, as that of Pastor
Harms in Germany, and of some communities, as the Moravians, illustrates the power
of a general consecration on the part of a
whole church. Let there be meetings for
prayer and worship and exhortation in every
neighborhood where two or three can be

gathered together; let the brethren go out
two and two, from house to house, from village to village, as they have opportunity, especially on the Sabbath ; let every man who
has the ability to speak be put forward to
speak for Christ. When the church at Jerusalem was scattered, they went everywhere
preaching the Word—not the ministers simply, but the church ; —a marked recognition
of the influence and responsibility of every
member of the body of Christ. Let collections be taken as often as once a month, if
not on every Lord's day, for some specific
object of Christian work, for schools, for
church building, for native preachers, for religious publications, to pay Bible women or
colporteurs, or to help feebler churches. Let
every one feel that a part is to be taken in
this work, as faithful to Christ, as loving to
do something for him, and for the good of
others.
" Let our mission churches begin right.
It is of vital moment to the success of the
missionary work, as well as of the final triumph of the Gospel in the earth. Let not
bad habits be formed and stereotyped. There
are no new agencies promised, no new Gospel to supplement the failures of the present
system.
•'Many of these suggestions, I dare say,
are but truisms in your experience ; many I
know are better followed on missionary
ground than at home. Please accept them
as the suggestions of one who is glad to be
your fellow-laborer in this glorious work.

Dedication of the Mariner's Church at
San Francisco.
This fine looking and appropriate edifice
was dedicated last Sunday afternoon in the
presence of a crowded and attentive audience. A majority of them were of the class
most deeply interested in this good enterprise, viz : seamen and their families. Several of our city clergymen were present and
assisted in the services. Rev. J. A. Benton,
Rev. H. A. Sawtelle and Rev. P. S. Williamson participated, in the order named. Rev.
A. L. Stone, D. D., delivered an earnest and
appropriate discourse, and made a strong appeal in behalf of the sailor. Rev. M. C.
Briggs followed in a pungent address in his
own happy manner.
Ira P. Rankin, Esq., President of the Port
Society, which has had the erection of this
church in charge, made a financial statement,
showing that over 815,000 had been raised
and expended on the church and lot. A
debt of $3,000 on the latter remains, secured
by mortgage.
The large benefactor* of the enterprise, as
reported, are : the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, $2,000; Seamen's Friend Society, New York, $1,000 in currency; Mrs.
Rowell, $1,000 in United States bonds;
California Steam Navigation Company, $500;
Mrs. Cummings, of Portland, legacy, $200;
$4,500 by forty-five merchants of San Fran-
cisco, and about $1,000 in various sums from
seamen.
Mr. Rankin expressed his belief that, on a
thorough canvass of the pity, sufficientwould
be obtained to clear offthe entire debt. We
earnestly wish this may be so, and that the
necessary measures may be speedily used to
insure a complete accomplishment of this
most necessary and most Christian work.
We offer our hearty congratulations to the
true friends of the sailor on what their efforts have already accomplished, and devoutly bid them God speed.—Pacific, February Ith, 1867.
The Unseen Battle-Field.

But where tliuy seldom rest.

Who knows alone where victory lies,
When each day's light is done.
One nrmy clusters strong and fierce,

His brow is like the thundercloud,
His voice, the bursting storm.
His captains. Pride, and Lust, and Hate,
Whose troops watch night nod do-y,
Swilt to detect (be weakest point,
And thristing for the fray.

Is but a little band ;
Yet there with

Their leader is of (<od-like form,
Of countenance serene;
Ami glowing on bis naked breast
A simple cross is seen.
His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love,
Point to that wondrous sign,
And gazing on it, all receive
Strength from a source divine.
They feel it speaks a glorious truth,
A truih as great as sure,
That to lie victors, they must learn
To love, confide, endure.
That faith sublime, in wildest strife,
Imparts a holy calm ;
For every deadly blow a shield,
For every wound a balm.
And when they win that battle-field,
Fast toil is quits forgot;
The plain where carnage onco had reigned,
Becomes a halluwed spot.
A spot where flowers of joy and peace
Spring from the fertile
And breathe the perfume of tlicir praise
On every breeze to God.

The New "Morning Star."—Since our
last issue, this beautiful Missionary yacht
has arrived, been seen, and sailed on her first
missionary trip to the Marquesas Islands.
She is a beautiful vessel, and very nearly
comes up to a sailor's idea of being in every
sense of the word, " ship-shape." Her passage out was remarkably quick, and she has
established her character as an excellent seaboat and good sailer. Long and prosperous
may be her career under her clerical master,
the Rev. H. Bingham, jr. The Rev. T.
Coan and the Rev. B. H. Parker, were sent
as Delegates from Hawaiian Evangelical

dollars.
Something new among Sailors.—We
have received the programme of a literary
exhibition on board U. S. Steamer Vanderbilt, under the special patronage of Rear
Admiral Thatcher. The exercises consisted
of " Recitations," "Declamations," "Singing," &c, &c. We hope the Lackawanna
boys will follow the example of their fellowseamen in the Navy. In every crew of a
man-of-war there is always to be found men of
decided ability and talent, and all that
seems to be required is some skillful leader,
who will "haul" it out.

My Dear Sib :—I thank you for your brief note
:28d,
:
which I received on my return yesof August
terday from New Haven, Ct, where I had been to
attend a meeting of the Amerioan Association for the
Promotion of Social Science, and iv which I found
some of the beat literary talent of the oountry eugaged. Its object is to guide the public niind to the
best means of promoting the objects sought by the
various organizations of the day for the amelioration
of the oondition of mankinu generally, but more
especially ofsuch as are subjects of sympathy. Subjects of discussion may be classed under Industrial,
Sanitary, Reformatory, Financial, Economical, Labor, Law, Trade, and whatever else concerns man,
iv all the multifarious, simple and cuuiplex relations
of his social life; all of which are embraced under
the technical designation of Sociology—which means,
I suppose, the science of, or laws which govern, all
human affairs; —laws which Buckle, in his History
of Civilisation, lias attempted, but failed ittiiifactorily to investigate or evolve. You will find something, I think, of the same theory in Draper, which
you are reading.
In Huston, the attempt is being made to reduce the
new science or system to practice (I thiuk the Association originated in Boston); but whether it rests or
not upon a eolid basis, it was gratifying to see such
a body of men—embracing many of the highest order of mind in the oountry—laboring earnestly, and
apparently unselfishly and devotedly, for the good of
society, our country, and the world; visiting the
widow and fatherless, the sick and those in prison;
giving eyes to the blind, ears to tbc deaf, feet to the
lame; feeding and clothing the hungry and the
naked; all on striotly scientific principles—that is,
by the application of the best-selected means, securing the largest results. The system is new only in
respect to the very widerange of subjects and details
which it attempts to embrace; but so much of " the
enthusiasm of humanity" (to borrow a phrase from
Ecce Homo) is manifest in these meetings, that no
one can attend them without having whatever good
impulses there sre within him strengthened, his faith
iv the progress of the race strengthened also, and his
hopes quickened in respect to the moral elevation of
man, and ultimate restoration of the lost image, or
marred image, of his Maker.
After the meeting, we had an opportunity to visit
the Colleges. Several new buildings have recently
been erected for a scientific school, library, galleries
of arts, &c. It is intended to make it a University,
and in point of endowment it appears to me to be
eclipsing Cambridge already.
1 met in the observatory, Mr. Lyman, adjusting a
telescope. The last time I saw him, twenty years
since, in Honolulu, he was adjusting a transit instrument for Mr. Ijoardinau. I also met a friend and
classmate of yours. Dr. Allen, of Lowell, who made
niauf inquiries about you. He is a member of the
Association.' El-Governor Washburne, Professor of
the Law School at Cambridge, and a friend of our
Mr. Judge Allen, gave us a most excellent discourse
on the relatione betweeu the Common and the Writ
leu Law. If published, 1 will send you a copy, as I
thought it suited to the meridian of Honolulu, where
it might be very useful.
On my return, 1 heard in Tremont Temple, Boston, Miss Annie Dickinson lecture, or, as the late
President Lincoln remarked, heard the "pullet
orow;" and as she repeatedly brought down the
house, (of about 11,000,) it may be inferred that she
crowed beautifully, an hour and a half, without
cessation. By gaslight, she looks young and handsome, dressed in corn-colored silk; hair thick, short
and ourlcd. Her voics has great volume and
strength, ber elocution good. Her subject was political—radical to the core—fruitful of the most withering sarcasms upon the President and hi* party.

Yet, notwithstanding her cleverness, I could not
overcome my repugnance to suoh unfeminine conduct, and [ expressed my aferaion to several of the
gentlemen members, not one of whom could I find to
coincide with me. I find the fooling in favor of
female right of suffrage much more prevalent than I
could have believed possible.
I have not referred to the political news of the
day, because I should be anticipated by the telegraph.
The papers, however, can give you hut a faint ides,
of the bitter hostility of the loyal North, and the
loyal minority of the South, against the President
and hia policy. Every day's delay of the South to
accept the overtures of the last Congress, is adding
immensely to the number of those who. North and
South, are In favor of universal suffrage. The South
oannot long prevent it. By accepting at once the
amendments lo the constitution, proposed by the last
Congresa, they may postpone it for awhile; otherwise
it will be forced upon them, probably, within the
next twelve months.
Since the death of Judge Robertson,
we chanced to examine a pyreon-hole in our
Sanctum, labelled " Poetry" and we found
a manuscript of which the following is a
copy. The Horatian rule is to allow a poem
to lie in manuscript nine years bifore publication, —this short poem has been kept
more than twenty! It appears to have been

markable specimen of sculpture. From one
block of marble there is chiseled the form of
a young man enveloped in a net. Despair
and hope are mysteriously blended in the
countenance of this figure. Thecaptive is in
the act of struggling for escape. Every nerve
is strained. He has grappled frantically with
his toils, and one or two of the meshes have
given way. But behind him, away from his
line of vision, shtnds his guardian angel, acting now as his helper. His agency is unsuspected, but real; nnd every spectator, sym-"
pathizing'with the captive of vice, exclaims
unawares, " He will get free."
How aptly does this symbol represent the
poor inebrfhte who is si niggling to cet free
from the meshes of intemperance. He is enveloped by the degrading vice of indulgence
in strong drink, and other vices which usually
accompany intemperance. He struggles to
get free, but still finds himself fast bound.
He tries again and again. He abstains from
brandy, gin, and the stronger drinks, but
a
holds on to beer and wine. He finds himself
continually breaking nil his good resolutions
and pledges. His friends mourn over his
frequent lapses into drunkenness. He arouses
himself, and declares that he will not be a
slave to the degrading vice. He resolves,
and re-resolves to abandon his besetting sin;
but still he finds the monster has firmly
grasped him, and it is no easy matter to
loosen his hold. He cannot break the meshes
of the fatal net.
At this critical moment his guardian
angel— teetotalism—appears. The rule of
total abstinence is prescribed. The victim of
intemperance pleads for a little brandy, a little wine, a little porter, a little beer, but the
good angel is inexorable, mildly saying,
"touch not, taste not, even one drop." The
struggle is sharp, the contest severe, and the
cross heavy, but the angel will not yield the
point. "Abstain or die," are the only words
which are heard to escape her lips. Oh, how
the poor inebriate pleads for only one drop!
His friends even intercede for a gradual abandonment of his drinking habits, but the angel
is as firm as she is mild. Oh, how eloquently
the angel pleads with her look of sympathy
and tenderness ! She comes near and bends
over the poor victim as he lies in his bed of
sorrow and degradation. In order to make
her appeal more and more effectual, she leads
the children of the poor drunkard into his
presence. The wife, too, is seen to plead
with the angel, in order that, if possible, her
husband may be overcome, and rise up from
the gutter and slough of intoxication. The

poor and almost lost inebriate sees his children, his wife, and his good angel, all standing before him, while behind him, and around
him, are seen all the evil spirits which visit
the victim of " delirium tremens."
At length the poor fellow resolves that he
will repair to the temperance meeting, and
sign the total abstinence pledge. The moment his trembling hand has affixed his
" sign manual," a heavenly radiance is seen
(0 lighten up the countenance of the guardian
angel, while smiles of joyand gladness wreath
the faces of the family group. The bystanders, too, look on with thanksgiving, and
the inebriate is now seen to have entirely escaped from the meshes of that terrible net of
intemperance which has so long hound him
fust. If now he forsakes not the good angel's
counsels and advice, all will be well. He
will ever after walk forth a free man, which
is more than any man can say of himself
who is addicted to the habitual use of intox-
icating liquors.
A Friend or TH» Inebuiatk.
Honolulu, March 4, 1867.
John Vine Hall, or the Inebriate Restored.
Last week I endeavored to point out to the
members of the Temperance Legion that
total abstinence, or teetotalism, was the inebriate's guardian angel. In the course of
my rending, 1 have met with a most beautiful
illustration of this principle. A volume, entitled " Hope for the Hopeless," has latelyfallen under -my notice. It is the autobiography or John Vine Hall, the father of the
celebrated Rev. Newman Hall, Pastor of
Surrey Chapel, London. The son is well
known as one of the most eminent ministers
of London, and during the late civil war iv
America, he made himself a marked man,
because he came out boldly and advocated
the cause of the Union. That was at a time
when the number of Union-loving speakers
and writers in England could be reckoned
on a man's fingers.
It is not, however, with the younger Hall
that I am now treating, but with his father,
who died September 22d, 1860, in the 87th
year of his age, one of the most remarkable
instances of the good results of total abstinence which has ever been placed upon
record. He was born at Diss, in Norlolk,
England, March 14, 1774. His father was
a wine merchant. His son undertook to carry
forward the same business, but became addicted to habits of intemperance, which well
nigh proved his ruin. He was naturally fond
of pleasure. Being a good musician and
singer, his company was much sought for by
the pleasure-going people of the place where
he lived. His business talents were of the
first order, and commanded for him a firstrate salary, but, alas, he was given to drink.
He mourned over his sad fate, and his friends
grieved that he should give way to such ruinous excess.
He becomes a married man, and the father
of four children. A multitude of kind friends
surround him. Amid all this array of bright
prospects and hopeful signs, alas, there was
one sad defect of character—young Hall
would give way to strong drink. In those
days the guardian angel—teetotalism—was
not so distinctly recognized as the inebriate's
friend as she is at present. The fact was,
everybody drank rum, brandy, wine, beer,
and all the ruinous liquors which have carried so many to a drunkard's grave. It was
even thought to be impossible to reclaim the
poor drunkard. Physicians even would recommend that a little was necessary. Divines,
alas, were too much inclined to set bad and
pernicious examples before the people. Young
Hall's case was most sad and hopeless. There
did not appear to be any possible chance of
his reformation.
In the midst of his melancholy career, his
mind becomes interested in the concerns of
religion, and he joins the church to which
John Wesley has given his name. He becomes prominent among its members by his
generous contributions and active labors.
He was no doubt sincere in his professions,
but, alas, supposing that he could drink moderately, in an evil hour he is overcome, and
a dark cloud rests upon his character.
His
wife and Christian brethren try to raise him
up. They forgive the snd full, and I find the
following entry in his journal for July 6th,
1812:
" Quarterly meeting. —The brethren were
all glad to see me among them again, although
so unworthy. How brotherly is this regard
lor the welfare of each other's souls ! Ido
nnt believe there is such another Society in
the world ns the Methodists for the exercise
of brotherly sympathy. O that I had not
grieved them ! O whoi sorrow does sin introduce ! and when Satan gets his victims
down, how cruelly he presses upon them !
But the blood of Christ can overcome a thousand Satntis."
Onward, the poor fellow harries forward
in his downward career, and downward he
sinks still lower. His Christian friends are
compelled to cut him off from their communion. Property goes and character is lost.
But now comes his great change, and he resolves that never another drop of wine,
brandy, gin or beer shall touch his lips as a
beverage. His guardian angel—total abslinence—stands over him. Kind friends and
a devoted wife once more come to his rescue,
but no longer is it upon the principle of
"taking a little;'" no, "touch not, tasle
not," is forever afterwards to be his motto.
True to this hetften-born principle, the poor
man, aye, the happy man, rises up, redeemed,
RESTORED, SAVED.
Again he seeks the fellowship of Christian
friends, and is welcomed. He now joins the
Independents, and for more than forty years
he lived an ornament of the Church of Christ.
Wealth now accumulates. Social position
becomes his envied lot. A wide sphere of
benevolence and philnnthrophy opens before
him. In all circles, high and low, he is the
bold and fearless advocate of tolal abstinence.
The amount of good accomplished by this
eminent man cannot be fully estimated.
He became known to the world as the
author of the " Sinner's Friend," a tract,
which has been published in all the European languages, and many languages spoken
by the dwellers in other lands. It is printed
in several of the languages of the " South
Seas." When a copy was presented to the
Queen of England, the Secretary of her
Privy Purse was directed to reply as follows:

Loss
of
the clipper ship "Kathay."
By the arrival on the L'SUh tilt., of the eclir. Sin
Diego, from Uowland's Island, we Irani of the loss
of the above named vessel, and are indebted to
CapUin I'o|)bain. for tbe following particulars
'■The British ship Kathay, of 1123 tons register,
of the port oi Liverpool, sailed from Bombay. Oct.
Ttb, 1846, for How-land's Island. Experienced
strong winds and flue weather until reaching tbe
Friendly Islands, from thence to the Equator,
strong northerly gales and squalls, with calms for
three or four days, which caused rather a long passage of 90 days. Arrived at Howland's Island.
January 6, 1867. when wo had very unsettled
weather for several days, having to slip once and
pot to sea.
On Sunday. January 20, 1867, while lying at the
moorings, 6wung taut off from the reef with fresh
trade winds, a black cloud in passing overhead
caused the wind to shift -suddenly from the westward, (rot a spring on the buoy, which helped to
keep the ship from striking very heavy as she
swung round, but she started the stern-pool which
caused her to leak a good deal. We then hung the
ship to the buoy amidships, parallel with the island
with her head to the S. S. VV„ but the heavy surf
and wind werehenving ship and moorings right on
the reef, beiqg then within 15 feet ot striking.
As a last resource, we made sail, and in a few
minutes slipped from the buoy, but the ship hud
not gone half her length before she was hove
broadside on the reef, where she instantly bilged
and commenced filling fust, the ship laboring and
lulling so heavily on the reef that it was impossible to stand on the decks. A few minutes afterwards, the main and mizen masts fell. A part of
the crew got into a boat and put off Iron the ship.
:
Flnulng I could do no more on hoard, I left the sbip with the
remainder of the crew, her topgallant-forecastle being* then un-
der water. A few minutes afterwards she fell off the reef and
sank In the short space of one hour from the time of the wind
veering. It Is Impossible to save a ship at Howland's Island
with such a sudden shirt of wind, and It's my Arm belief the
ship went under the Island, as Uowland's Island. Is in my opinion, like a bunch of coral or an old oak tree with the top part
joat above water. I don't believe you would get soundings with
1,000 fathoms line 200 feet from the reef.
The Katkay waa a splendid clipper ship. I must five Mr.
Westcrvelt, her builder, great praise in modeling her. She
was built iv New York In 1853. We had taken on board about
400 tons of guano, and had a fair prospect of completing our
cargo of 1600 tons In twenty live days.
Myaelf. officers and crew lost everything of any value. Had
theaccident happened by night, there would been loss of lives
also. But, thank Ood. wa all got aafe on shore, where we remained until February IS, 1887. having been made as comfortable as things would allow, being short of everything on the
island. Captain Chlsholtn, superintendent of the inland, deserves the highest praise In working everything for the beat.
He also lent us every assistance in trying to keep the ship
v off
the reef.
-We have had a long and tedious paasage to Honolulu,petting
short of everything. On Sunday last we touched at Cook'a
anchorage at Niihau, where Capt. Tengatrom received grtat
kindness from Mr. Sinclair and his two nephews. They supplied ns with three sheep and several bags of potatoes and
brought them off after dark to tbe schooner, which kindness I
•hall never forget, as there was a heavy aurf on at the time.
Capt Tengstrom haa been very klud to ns In this long tedious
*->aasage. The orew of the A'afaoy is twenly-flve men all told.

The news is rather old, and hence we shall

General Morgan L. Smith. —This gentleman, recently arrived from the United
States, has succeeded to the office of United
States Consul. During the war he bore a
conspicuous part in the Western campaigns.
On the breaking out of the rebellion in 1861,
he was residing in St. Louis, and immediately raised a purely American company of
soldiers and entered the Union army. During the whole war he was in active service.
He finally rose to the rank of Major General
of Volunteers. He was in several engagements, and accompanied General Sherman to
Atlanta in his march through Georgia, but
in consequence of a wound, was sent on military duty to Vicksburg. He fought through
on the Union line. We are glad that when
the Republic has favors to show, and appointments to make, the soldiers and officers of
the war get their share. This is right. Men
who have fought through that war with characters unspotted, merit the honors and rewards of Congress and the people.
Down go Reals, up come Dimes.—The
Minister of Finance has given notice,
" By Authority,"' in the Gazette, that hereafter the old Spanish reals, and other " odd "

you have been able to raise the working

The American papers a few months ago,
contained frequent allusions to the visit of
the celebrated Presbyterian divine, Doctor
McCosh, to the United States. His testimony is well worthy of the serious attention
of every patriot and christian. Educate the
young, place the Word of God in their hands,
and then afford them a quiet Sabbath wherein

forty years ago navigated a little craft of only
forty "tons from Boston to Honolulu for the

James Hunnewell, and the vessel which he
sailed to the Pacific was the Missionary

WHY HE UNDERTOOK THE VOYAGE.
To meet the question that may arise in
the mind of any reader of the foregoing—
What could induce Mr. Hunnewell to em-
bark on such a hazardous voyage in such an
unsuitable vessel at that inclement season of
the year at home, and was likely to be off
Cape Horn ? I would reply that this was not

how small the packet was I was disappointed, but it was too late to give up. I had
purchased my cargo, and had engaged to go,
and however badly 1 felt when I came to
the test, I did not dare to say that I was
afraid to go. I embarked with a heavy
heart and with many discouragements, but
a kind and all wise Providence guided and
sustained me and mine, and in due time I
reached my port of destination, planted my
independent mercantile house there, which
house has been continued under different
heads independent of each other, with respectable success down to the present day,

United States Hospital (alias Pauper Asylum
of the United States Government
H
in onolulu.)
"Nor mast Uncle Sam's web-feet he fornntton."
President Lincoln.
In our last issue we endeavored to show
that American seamen, when sick and destitute, were not paupers. The twenty cents
per month tax, and the three months extra
wages, settle that point very conclusively.
As the Government assumes the right to expend the sailor's money, we maintain that it
should be done upon the principles of strict
economy, the very best system of hospital
accommodations, and in accordance with the
general sentimentof propriety current among
seamen. We hold that the United States
Consul, established in a foreign port, is bound
to have some regard to the known opinions
and feelings of ship-masters, officers and seamen. Now we claim to know what that
opinion is upon the proper treatment of
sick sailors, their funeral rites, and the treatment of those in health. It hns been opposed
to keeping up, at an enormous expense, a
second rate sailor's boarding house in the outskirts of the city, and calling it the United
States Hospital, which is merely a pauper
asylum of the United States Government,
where those in health, and not needing medical treatment, are unceremoniously crowded
together with those sick and diseased with
all the ills and maladies " that flesh is heir
to." Officers and seamen in perfect health
have been compelled to mess with and among
those who were in mll stages of disease, while
some were actually dying. When they remonstrated, they were summarily discharged
or made to feel that they were in the situation of dependent paupers. We have known
officers and seamen, entitled to the Consular
protection, to forsake the establishment and
seek board in town, casting themselves upon
their friends or some boarding house keeper.
We will not dwell upon the past; let by"
gones be by-gones; " but for the future—for
the credit of the United States Government
and the welfare of seamen—we hope the
Consul will break up this system and separate the well from the sick. We have already
intimated how this may be done, viz. bysending the sick to the Queen's Hospital, and
those in health to the Home, or to some re-
:
spectable boarding house.
Three times, at least, has the United States
Government endeavored to reform this system, but the good intentions of the Government have been hitherto thwarted. We refer
to the visit of the sloop of war Levant in
1860, Dr. Baxley's tour of inspection in 1861,
and the mission of T. F. Wilson, Esq., in
1866. The first and second attempts were
�21
THE KRIKMI, M \ IM 11. 1867.
signal failures, and it is yet somewhat doubtful whether the third will prove a success.
We are confident it will not, if through any
mismanagement the old system is perpetuated, although there may be a retrenchment
of expenses. The honest truth is, the whole
system is bad. We are not aware -that the
United States Government keeps up any
such establishment in any part of the world,
and there is no more necessity for it in Honolulu than in London, Liverpool, Havre, or
any other port foreign to the United States.
Dr. Baxley, the Government special agent,
has always been understood to have reported
against it. Mr. Wilson may have succeeded
ir. reducing expenses, but we maintain that
it has been at the sacrifice of the sailor's welfare, and thereby to the injury of American
commerce. One case of hardship has already
been reported in the public prints. The
course adopted in regard to the burial of seamen has already given just cause of offense,
and if persisted in, will be made a subject ot
more complaint. But we confidently hope
that all abuses will be rectified under the
management of General Smith.
We will add one more remark : if the
United States Government is determined to
keep up an establishment for sick and destitute
seamen, (hitherto contrary to all principles of
economy and sanitary rule,) let it be done in
a style becoming a gteat, powerful and commercial nation. Let a site be selected and
purchased, and suitable buildings erected
thereon. Let the whole be done in a becoming manner, and not in the present jobbing
style, or that which has been practiced for
many years. If it reflects more honor upon
the Government to maintaina separate establishment, let it be done in a style really to
honor the Government and promote the
sailor's welfare. As the sailor is compelled
fo foot the bill, let him have a voice in its
management. If seamen cannot be suitably
provided for under the Consulate, we shall
petition for a branch of the United States
Sanitary Commission to be established in

The reading public is now favored with
three new books upon the inhabitants of the
South Seas, and the efforts which are now
being made to civilize and christianize them.
These are books of interest, and written by
men who have rendered themselves capable
of treating upon affairs in Polynesia from
having lived and labored among the people.
The first book we shall notice, relates to
the Tonga or Friendly Islands. This volume was written by the Rev. Thomas West,
a Missionary, laboring for ten years at the
Friendly Islands under the patronage of the
Wesleyan Missionary Society of England.
It will be remembered by those familiar with
the history of missions in the South Seas,
that the Tonga or Friendly Islands were first
occupied as a missionary field by the missionaries of the London Missionary Society,
on the first establishment of Protestant Missions in the South Seas, as early as 1797.
That enterprise failed, and subsequently the
Wesleyan Missionaries entered the field and
have labored with encouraging success.
From the preface of Mr. West's book, we
learn, that at the Friendly Islands there are
"169 Protestant places of worship. Connected with these there are 24 Resident
European and Native Ministers ; 13 Catechists; 214 Day-school Teachers; 676 Sabbath-school Teachers ; 856 Lay Preachers ;
9.S22 Church-members, and 248Day-schools,
containing 9,712 Scholars. The number of
regular attendants upon public worship is
about 30,000, and more than £3,000 per
annum are contributed voluntarily by the
people for religious purposes." This statement shows that this mission must have
proved a glorious success. The King of the
Friendly Islands, George Tubou, is represented as a sovereign who is thoroughly
converted to the christian religion, and is
recognized among the number of tactual
preachers of the gospel. King George rules
with much ability and dignity. He has
�22
THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1867.
granted his subjects a Constitutional Government. A copy of the Constitution and
Laws we published in our columns in April,
1864. How far His Majesty King George
was influenced by the progress of events at
the Hawaiian Islands, we cannot say, but,
that the Hawaiian Kingdon was made the
subject of consideration, we learn from the
following remarks, on pages 302-3.
Mr. West thus writes m his journal on
the 13th of January, 1855:
',' I had also considerable conversation with
the king in reference to another very important subject. Some months ago, I received
an official document from M. St. Julian,
commissioner from the King of Hawaii,
(Sandwich Islands,) requesting me to translate the same to King George, which 1 accordingly did. The substance of the communication was the expression of a desire,
on the part of the government and King of
Hawaii, to enter into political and commercial relationships with the Friendly Islands,
and urging upon the king the duty of taking
steps to secure a formal recognition of his
independence by foreign powers. Hawaii,
mice as barbarous as imv country of Polynesia, and much more degraded, morally*,
than ever Tonga was in the worst times,
has now become
tively wealthy
a prosperous ami comparastate, treated with, and rec-
ognised as an equal, by all the great nations
of the world.
" It is a highly instructive fact, and very
suggestive of the remarkable progress of religion and civilization in these parts of the
earth, to find negociations of this kind formally opened between kings and nations, who,
a few short years since, were henthens and
cannibals. In a communication addressed
to myself, it is said that, the desire of His
" all the PolyneHawaiian Majesty is to see
sian races become as prosperous, and as
fully independent, as the nation over which
he rules." His Hawaiian Majesty strongly
recommends King George to establish a constitutional government. A copy of that
adopted by the Hawaiians, and recently
published in the Sydney newspapers, has
been translated and laid before the king. It
is receiving his best consideration ; but, at
present, the king thinks that the introduction
of such a movement would he inopportune.
Certain I am that the Tonguese have better
capabilities, and greater facilities for becoming an important people, than even the Hawaiians; but such sweeping reforms and
alterations in the political condition and
laws of any people must, in great measure,
be a work of time."
This interesting volume of Mr. West, is
accompanied with a portrait of King George,
a good map of the Tonga or Friendly Islands, and an Appendix, containing remarks
upon the Tonguese Language and Grammar.
THE KING ANO PEOPLE OF FIJI.
This book introduces its readers to the
real cannibals—eaters of human flesh. The
Fijians made no scruple of boldly asserting
that they were man-eaters, and they did so
because they loved the food. On a certain
rv»f>»s,inn. Kin"' Thnkonibnu's soldiers return-
ed from battle and presented themselves before his "second Queen," Adi-mai-Naikasakasa, and she thus publicly reproached one
of them: Shame on you, to return without
even one man for me to eat."
It should be remembered that such scenes
occurred not long years ago, in the dark ages
of a remote antiquity, but even within a very
few ytars. The incident just noticed occurred in 1854.
The Fiji Islands are a beautiful group in
the South Pacific. They were thoroughly
surveyed by the United States Exploring Expedition about 1840. In the third volume of
the " United States Exploring Expedition "
will be found Wilkes' narrative of a visit to
those islands, and a map will lie found in
volume sixth. To any one wishing to become thoroughly acquainted with those islands, this narrative of Wilkes will be found
interesting. Several books have however
since been published, which more fully unfold the character and condition of the people, viz. : Fiji and Fijians," in two volumes; Capt. J. E. Erskine's (R. N.) "Journal of a Cruise among the Islands of the
Western Pacific, in H. B. M.'s S. Havannah,"
and Mrs. Wallis' " Life in Fiji." This last
is the work written by the wife of an American ship-master, engaged in the biche-de-mer
trade.
No books, however, are more valuable and
reliable than those of the English Wesleyan
missionaries, who have during the last thirty
years labored so nobly, courageously and successfully in reclaiming those vile cannibals from their abominable practices to the
Christian religion. If any skeptic after this
shall question whether there is power in
Christianity to subdue the most besotted and
degraded heathen, then we would recommend
that he make a voyage to the Fiji Islands,
and hear the story of a Fijian conversion
from the lips of some of those old and veteran
missionaries, or the Fijian himself.
The book we have now under review was
written by n brother of our fellow-townsman,
J. T. Waterhouse, Esq. He was fourteen
years a laborious missionary among the Fijians, and his father was superintendent of the
Wesleyan Missions in Australia and the
South Seas. There is a noble tribute to the
father's great usefulness and admirable character as a public officer of the Missionary
Association, in pages 87-91 of this book,
which is copied from Fiji and the Fijians."
It would be quite impossible for us to present even a mere outline of the great variety
of topics discussed in this volume, but we can
assure our readers that it will amply repay
the perusal. It brings the history of the islands down to about 1855, when cannibalism
was formally abandoned as a national prao
tier under the authority of the Government,
"
"
"
and Christianity established. Mr. Water
house, the writer, intimates, on page 294,
that he has in preparation another volume, as
a sequel to this. We shall anxiously look
for its publication, and we hope it will be accompanied by a good map or chart, resembling that accompanying Mr. West's work on
the Tonga Islands.
From the public prints and a gentleman
who has long resided at the Fiji Islands, we
learn that Thakombau is now acknowledged
by Fijians, foreigners and foreign governments, (England, France and ihe United
States,) as the King of Fiji. He has his
Court Residence on Bau,and a young American is his Secretary of State. About 1,200
foreigners reside upon the gioup, commerce
is increasing, the agricultural resources of the
islands are being developed, and in fine,
Christian-Fiji is taking its place among the
civilized and Christian nations of the earth.
The entire population of the group is estimated nt 150,000.
MISSION I.IKK I.N THE ISLANDS OK THE PACIFIC.
In this volume we have portrayed the life
of one who has been styled the " model missionary of Polynesia.'' Who that has read
missionary intelligence, has not often met
with ibe name of the Rev. Anion Buzacott,
of Rarotonga, one of the Hervey Islands ?
He was the early friend, co-lahort-r and companion of Williams, the Martyr of Erromanga. It was the fortune of Williams to
be an enterprising explorer, but of Buzacott
to settle down on one of those beautiful islands of the South Seas, and there labor dili-
gently, laboriously and successfully. Very
often have we listened to the narrations of
ship-masters and sailors who have visited
Rarotonga, and it was once our privilege to
correspond with him. He died at Sydney,
September 20, 1564, where he had retired
on account of ill health. He was a missionary of the London Missionary Society.
We hail with delight the publication of so
mnny new hooks on Polynesia. As we had
occasion to remark on another occasion, the
time has not come to write a history of Missions, or Christianity in Polynesia, hut the
materials are being gathered for a history of
thrilling interest. Other books, we doubt not,
are in course of preparation, and whenever
any of them are laid upon our table, we shall
most cheerfully give them a review or notice.
We shall do it con amore, for in the subject
of Missions among the heathen, anil especially unevangelized Polynesians, we take a
deep interest. In our estimation, there is no
subject of greater importance which can come
before the human mind, for the time is sure
to come
When one mng shall employ all nations, all shall cry,

The value of our exports shows a smttll increase in the totals over the previous year, but
the increase is in the foreign goods exported and
in supplies furnished to vessels, while domestic
produce shows a decline in value. This, however, is owing to thereduced invoic valuation of
all our exports, uod not to any fulling off in the
amount produced. We give the figures for two
years :
