Commencing a new year with our accounts with the printerall settled, and other expenditures of the Friend paid, we feel hopeful for the future, and most cordially wish our patrons and readers, on sea and land, "A Happy New Year." Our great aim is to convince our readers that true happiness is alone to be found and enjoyed by obeying the laws of God. " The law of God," says the Psalmist, " is exceeding broad." It relates to man's physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual natures. The violators of God's laws derive a momentary and delirious pleasure which some style enjoyment, but it falls infinitely short of that pure happiness to be derived from rendering obedience to the law of God, when that term is used in its broadest signification. Entering upon a new year, and not knowing what 1a day or moment may bring forth, we would earnestly enjoin upon our readers to take God's Holy Word as a larap unto their feet and light unto their path, turning neither to the right hand or to the left. Read, we entreat you, some portion of God's Word each day.

The weather was delightful, and suggested to one's mind the sunny skies* of Italy rather than the ideas of cold barrenness and desolation which hud always before been associated with the name of Kamtschatka. We rode all day through grand mountain scenery, down into green smiling valleys, over ridges which were glowing with the colored foliage of autumn, and camped at night in some little grassy glade surrounded by forests of yellow birch, and bordered by some clear, cold mountain stream which fell in musical cascades past our little tent. It was the very poetry of travel. At Sherom, the head of the Kamtschatka River, we left our horses, pitched our tent on a raft, and floated quietly and pleasantly down the river to Kluche. The following extract from my journal will show you how I enjoyed that : it was Gray who said that his " Iofthink idea Paradise was 'to read eternal new romances of Marivauxand Crebillon.' Could the author of the 'elegy' have stretched himself out in the sunshine on the open deck of a Kamtschadal boat, covered to a depth of six inches with fragrant flowers and freshly cut hay—could he have floated slowly down a broad tranquil river, through ranges of snowclad mountains, past forests glowing with yellow and crimson, and vast steppes waving with tall, wild grass—could he have watched the moon rise over the sharp snowy peak of the Kluchefskoi volcano, bridging the river narrow trail of quivering light, and listerreu to the plash of the boat;:.en's paddles and the low melancholly song to which they kept time, he would have thrown Marivaux overboard and given a better definition of the pleasures of Paradise." You see I was highly delighted with the scenery, the weather and the mode of travel; but alas, the pleasantest part of it was over when we reached Kluche. We ascended the Yolofka River in little canoes, and started on horseback to cross the Tigil mountains, but were overtaken by a severe storm on the summit, and suffered considerable from cold, rain and fatigue before we reached Tigil on the sixteenth day from Petropaulovski. From this place it was all hardship. The storms which heralded the approach of winter had already set in, and for a week after we left Tigil we were alternately drenched by cold autumnal rains and frozen by driving snowstorms. On October 4th we reached Lesnoi, a Kamtschadal village on the west coast in about latitude 59° 30*. Here our small party of three was divided—Major Abasa and Dodd going by water in a whaleboat, and I, starting with half a dozen Kamtschadals and horses, to cross a range of bleak rugged mountains lying between the village and Padkagernia. In case Major Abasa's progress was stopped by a storm, I was to take him and Dodd on my horses ; and in case I found the snow very deeo on the mountains, I was to signal to the whaleboat, send ray horses back, and go on with them. In one way or the other we hoped to get through. Major A. was stopped by a gale of wind only fifteen vents from Lesnoi, while I, knowing nothing of it, struggled on through deep snow and a pourga," got lost in the mountains, our wet clothes froze stiff on our bodies, our provisions were exhausted, nnd a blinding snow-storm hid everything from sight. We waded through the deep snow, dragging our horses after us, and succeeded by the aid of a pocket compass in finding our way to the Samanca River, one hundred and fifty versts north of Lesnoi. Here I was ordered to wait for the whaleboat two days ; but as the storm continued with unabated fury, and I had nothing whatever to eat, I waited only one day, and then started back exhausted and hungry, and very doubtful whether I should ever reach Lesnoi. We rode every night until midnight, wading deep, icy streams, cutting roads through dense thickets up narrow ravines, and dragging our horses over rocks where we could not ride them. I soon got very faint and weak from excessive fatigue and want of food, but a strong will will hold the body to its work long after it is exhausted, and I managed to reach Lesnoi in tremendous " safety. The Major had just walked back with Dodd from the place where they abandoned the whaleboat, and we were all once more together. The exposure and disappointment brought a severe fit of sickness upon the Major, and all thoughts of further progress were given up for the present. Dodd was sent back to Tigil after a new outfit of provisions, and I remained at Lesnoi with the Major, who was sick a month. It was very lonely. The Major never spoke a word, I could not talk Russian, and was at my wit's end for amusement. Early in November, however, the Major's health improved, and the winter road having been established, we started once more on dog sledges for Ghijiga. This time we were more successful, and after twenty days of travel, camping nearly every night on the steppes or among the mountains in temperature as low as 43 ° , we finally reached our destination. At Ghijiga we could hear nothing from the party landed at the mouth of the Anadyr which was to cooperate with us in the exploration of the route of the line, and as the Ispravnik says in a letter to the Russian papers, " there remained on the hands of four men, two of whom were at the A moor River, the exploration of a route for the line through a country six thousand versts in extent." The Major, however, did not despair, and after ten days spent in rest and refitment, we started again—he to explore the country west to Ochotsk, and I north to Anadyrsk. I reached the latter place in twenty-three days, experiencing at times as great cold as 50 ° degrees below zero. At that settlement I learned through wandering Tchucktchis that a party of five men had been landed the preceding fall at the mouth of the Anadyr, where they were still living in a little hut built of bushes and earth. 1 had no orders to go farther than Anadyrsk, but fearing that something might happen to so small a party in such a desolate country, and among such fierce, bloodthirsty natives as the Tchucktchis were represented to be, I lost no time in gathering sledges to go to their rescue. I found that no one had ever been to Anadyr Bay, and that the natives were afraid to attempt it, declaring that the cold was intense, the storms terrible, and that for hundreds of versts along the river there was not a bush, tree, nor stick of wood. I had authority, however, from the Ispravnik at Ghijiga to compel them to go where I wished, and backed up by a Cossack, I succeeded in obtaining eleven sledges, and on January 10th started, carrying dog food and provisions for thirty days. As I approached the mouth of the river, I found that the stories of the natives with regard to the scarcity of wood were true. For the last hundred and twentyfive versts 1 could not find enough to boil a tea-kettle, and was compelled to travel day and night as the temperature was from 46 ° to 50 ° Wlow zero, and I dared not camp without a fire. We reached Anadyr Bay on the 19th of January at midnight, found the little hut buried in snow, waked up the frightened inmates by shouting down the stovepipe, and received a warm welcome from our long exiled comrades. I returned to Anadyrsk, carrying them with me, together with their stores, and arrived on the 4th of February, having been absent twenty-five days. During February I occupied myself with explorations between Anadyrsk and Penjina for a better route, the one which I first explored not being satisfactory. In March I returned to Ghijiga to meet Major Abasa. He had located the route as far as Ochotsk, and nt that place had met Messrs. Mayhood and Bush, who had explored all the country between there and Nikolasefsk—so that when we met on the 27th of March, we could congratulate ourselves on the successful exploration and location of a route for the line from the Amoor River to Behring Straits. This had been accomplished during an Arctic winter by only four men in three months and twenty-seven days, during which we traveled altogether nearly twenty thousand versts on dog sledges. Whatever may be the result of our labors, we can always look back upon this part of them with honest pride. Through all the summer of 1866 we were compelled to lie idle, waiting for vessels, money and stores from America. We had no men, no horses, no money, and no provisions, and could do nothing until the arrival of the Palmetto on the 20th of September. One whole summer, the best season of the year, was thus lost, but through no fault of ours. As soon as the Palmetto arrived, Major A. started for Yakoutsk to hire native laborers and purchase horses, while I remained at Ghijiga to accomplish what 1 could with our small party of eleven men. I spent the winter principally in traveling to Anadyrsk, Yamsk and intervening points, and starting the work where I could. At the opening of this spring we had about fifteen hundred versts of poles cut, sixty houses and magazines built between Ochotsk and Anadyr Bay, six hundred laborers engaged and on their way from Yakoutsk, together with two hundred horses and stores, etc., for their subsistence. Everything now promised a large season's work this summer, when we were suddenly astonished and disheartened by orders to abandon. One of the most important female qualities is sweetness of temper. Heaven did not give to women insinuation and persuasion in order to be imperious; it did not give them a sweet voice to be employed in scolding. �To break the lingering tie that bound her race To Pele, flame-crowned goddess of thy chasm. BY W. C. JONES. O'er fire-browned clinkers and through tangled woods, Deep Hades of the seven Phlegethons ! From thy basaltic pillared walls I gaze, Up mountain steeps a hundred miles she walked, Through sulphurous clouds that ceaselessly ascend Trampling the creeds of ages 'neath her feet, Braving the wrath of all the mythic gods, From fiery maelstroms in red, rushing whirl, That like dark incubii on heart and brain, Into thy vast abyss with silent awe. Eve's curtains gather round thee like a shroud, Had checked the progress of Hawaii's race, She sought thy depths to tempt and to defy And drape in shadow Mauua Loa's dome ; The rage, the power of their multiple gods ; Tho trade wind o'er the bending forest sweeps, While awe-struck thousands on thy lofty rim, Cold and mist-laden from the eastern wave : And as it parts the fire-born clouds below. Gazed tremblingly beneath in firm belief That Pele in her wrath would hurl her fires The smouldering ruins of a city vast— W On one who dared her in her sulphury home. A giant Moscow in a sea of flame— Herbrow all radiantly illumed by hope, Appear with blackened walls, and dome and spire She stood beside thy rushing, liquid tide Of church and grand cathedral crashing fall; Of red hot lava in its maddest flow, Turret and tower and monument go down, And as the sulphury vapors wreathing, rolled As round them lap and whirl the eddying flames, In eddying fire-lit waves round her tall form, Like those lost cities which Jehovah's wrath She seemed divine as thus she calmly spoke : O'erwhelmcd in sulphury hail and fiery rain. In His great name who died for men I come, up, the smoke went plain from theruined Till To prove to my lost race the living God ! Seething and dense as from a furnace blast. And here, oh, Pele ! superstition's myth ! I feci a wonderment—a deeper awe, I do defy thee on thy throne of power ! Than e'er w.is wakened by earth's grandest scenes, If thou existest, whelm me 'neath thy waves, When I have viewed the mightiest rivers leap Pour on me all thy scorching lava flood, In thunder echoes from bold beetling cliffs, Or suffocate me with thy sulphury breath, Or foam in cataracts through rocky gorge ; Or close around me all thy lakes of fire ! Niagara were tame compared to thee, And Ocean's majesty, in calm or storm, But no—the fresh breeze, lifts the sulphury clouds, The waves subside, the fiery jets decrease ; Inspires no feelings kindred to the thoughts Awoke by thee, wild flaming lake of fire ; God calms thy vortex as the restless sea ; And the volcanic vents—earth's crater cones— I trample here on thypretended power, Are nought to the stern grandeur of thy depths. And cry, Io Jchova ! in thy depths ; Thou fiery wonder of the untaught mind ! Io leliova ! let the triumph ring, Till all the isles shall know the living God! The simple natives of the isles had made She passed majestic o'er the lava vale, A home in thee for Pele—fiery power, Goddess of the volcano's hot domain ; As a triumphant smile illumed her face, How like the ancient Greeks, who wove their dreams God-like and noble, born of faith and hope. Now sable night hangs o'er thee, Kilauea, Of the ideal in poetic forms, And robed Cocytus' son with Pete's power But night illumed by thy sulphury glare ; Over their burning, weird, infernal river. Thy seven seething lakes light up the clouds No Stygian waves surround thy Hades deep, With an unearthly and demoniac glow, No Iris bright descends with golden vase, The fever flush from thy hot heart of flame, To bring the dreaded draught to perjured gods ; The hectic glow ot an expiring world ; Yet thy wild, fiery glare hath lighted up I watoji their bubbling jets in fiery play, And deem that Vulcan in his boiling forge, A scene more brilliant than Greek poet's dream, Sublime in moral courage and the faith Is moulding fantastically strange his forms, That rent asunder superstition's chains, While Cyclops, roused from slumber far beneath, And by her incandescent throne of power, Pour the fused metal in infernal moulds. Defied the Goddess Pele in thy depths. Now the waves flash, and eddying, whirl and leap 'Gainst crumbling shores of glass-like lava cliffs, Kapiolani—noblest of her race— Where Pcle's fair hair waves in sulphury steam ; Kapiolani—type of woman kind— In high moral heroism born of love, The fiery jets, fierce bubbling, chase each other, In past or present and in every clime, Like flame-maned courses on their burning track, Immortal as the faith which fired her heart, Then disappear, lost in the ragiug gulf; Her deed sheds lustre on these ocean isles ! Ever witli northward flow the current sweeps, Grim Superstition with his gory rites, Crackling and sparkling in red fissures deep, Had ruled the isles for ages and the sigh As the cooled surface breaks, like fields of ice, Of souls fettered by tyrannous tabu, And dark-red lava heaps in fiery drift.

A nation religionless, yet free in soul! Dim, dream-winged shadows of Progression's Law ! Then came the messengers of peace and love, Thou seemest not of earth ; thy red waves come, Who taught the pure and holy creed of Christ; Up—rushing from that central, fiery sea, And ne'er were sown the seeds of gospel faith Beneath earth's ocean that resistless wars With all that forms this planet's fragile crust.

Old age, to some, but not all, is a most undesirable period of life. When men come to " be afraid of that which is high," and fears are " in the way," then life becomes to many a burden. But is there no secret source of happiness which will render old age rather desirable ? Cicero, tho old Roman orator and philosopher, wrote an essay upon old "ge. Amid even the darkness of heathenism, he found great consolation in the probability of the soul's immortality. His remarks arc worthy of a Christian philosopher : I am " fur from regretting that life was bestowed on Those given to fast living do not live out half their days. They die prematurely. They waste their vital energies. Eager for enjoyment, they pursue the method which destroys it. There is irfcch of rational enjoyment in this world within the limits of law, but when the devotee of pleasure seeks for enjoyment by overstepping those limits, then a fearful retribution follows. " What- me, as 1 have the satisfaction to think that I soever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." it in such a manner as not to God has given to each one of the human have employed lived in vain. In short, I consider this have race a certain amount of vitality. By carewhich Nature never deful obedience to the laws of our physical and world as a place for my permanent abode ; and I look signed moral natures, that vitality may be prolonged, on my departure out of it. not as being driven c'en down to extreme old age. " Wine is a from my habitation, but as leaving my inn. mocker," declares Solomon, "strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby O glorious day ! when I shall retire from this is not wise." If Solomon had lived in our days, he would have been equally severe upon tobacco, opium, lager beer, and the score of other deleterious stimulants which waste man's vitality. All unnatural stimulants lery tribute upon man's vital energies and tend to shorten life. '• Though th« mill* of (Jiml grind lalowty, yet they grind exceeding Hlnall Though with natteoee ReataVndi waiting, with exactaeM grinds Wile all." : No man can out-wit his Maker or transgress his Maker's laws with impunity. We recommend our renders to review their lives, and if they discover that their vital energies are too rapidly wasting, let them in season do all in their power to remedy the evil. There is a wonderful recuperative power in the human system. We are never too old to learn. The fast liver is continually wasting his vital powers. Fast living is a mortgage upon man's vitality which must be paid off. Death usually forces a foreclosure long before roan has attained three score and ten. Wholesome food, abundance of sleep, constant employment, and a good conscience, are the requisites for long life and happiness, while fast living, late hours, idleness and» vice will bring a man to a premature grave and certain shame. A word to the wise on New Year's morning is sufficient. A complete edition of the Bible has just been printed in the dialect of the Fiji Islanders by the British and Foreign Bible Society. If the savage Islanders kill missionaries, give them the Bibln to teach them a better way. The English newspapers report that the Prince of Wales has signed the pledge. We should be glad to see it reported in the American papers that the President had done the same. low ana sordid scene to associate with the divine assembly of departed spirits. * * * Thus to think, and thus to act, has enabled me, Scipio, to bear up under a load of years with ease and complacency. And after all, should this my firm persuasion of the soul's immortality prove to be a mere delusion, it isat least a pleasing delusion, and I will cherish it to mv latest breath." Thus reasoned Cicero. He hoped the soul was immortal. He was not quite certain, it might after all be a delusion, but it was a pleasing delusion. Turning from such reasoning, let us contemplate the doctrine of the soul's immortality from a Christian point of view. Paul had no doubts upon this subject, for his faith was in " Jesus Christ, who hath abolished'death, and hath brought life and immortality to light in the Gospel." To one whose views of life and immortality resemble those of the apostle, old age is no undesirable period of life. We have been led to indulge in this train of remarks by the suggestive thoughts expressed in the following paragraph copied from a letter of one of our American correspondents, an Episcopalian " I do not know how it is with you, but I feel that I have Touched the hill top, and am now going down the other side. Stay be you are only on the top ?—you speak of such unbroken health and vigor; so I want to tell you, this 'side of the hill is just as pleasant as the other. Morning has its freshness and beauty, but evening has the glory of the day; and this side of the hill has all the sunset's glow. Gleams from ' the golden shore,' I think they must be. I have always admired old age, and everything that was its type. When we reach fifty, I think we can begin to spell out, for ourselves, the meaning of that period of life—its joys and sorrows, its helps and comforts. Slow learners we are of all the lessons of life,even under such a Teacher; yet if he be our Master, we do learn. Increase in the knowledge of Him.' Ah, it is : ' this which shortens the way, that makes the heart wurmer and brighter as years increase. In youth we may believe in Him, but we do rot know Him as in later years, when the burdens, cares and sorrows—the sin we find in ourselves and the imperfection in all about us—have made us lean on Him, and turn to Him for sympathy and help, then we begin to taste 'the riches of His grace,'as the young pilgrim never can. We know Him, because we have tried Him." It is a personal Saviour whom we all need, anil iu,A have as our faithful companion, and then the up-hill as well as the, down-hill side of life will always appear bright and cheerful. If any of our readers have reached the top, and are upon the down-hill side of life, but have never made the Lord Jesus Christ, their Saviour, most earnestly would we call their attention to this important subject nt the commencement of a new year. This year may be your hist. How vastly important that you now attend to the " one thing needful." Allow the glorious light of Gospel truth to shine into your soul, and you will not feel the doubt and uncertainty which rested upon Cicero's mind, but you will come into the liberty of the Gospel, and be ready to say with' Paul " 1 know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." : It don't Pay! What don't pay ? The California papers will not pay. One paper asserts that there are thousands of gallons of wine now stored in San Francisco which will not pay the expense of raising the grapes and the manufacture of the wine. The question arises, why will it not pay, when so much is drank ? " This answer is given, that wine and brandy can be manufactured so much cheaper in San Francisco than at Los Angeles, that the wine business won't pay, the pure wine, we mean. Advertisements such as the following appear in the California papers : report that the wine crop — SALOON KKEI'KRS, Look to your Interest and Save MO PER IHAVE CENT. TUB BUTT HKCII'KS FOR.

From this notice and failure of the wine culture to pay, it readily appears that wine bibbers and brandy drinkers make use of a spurious and counterfeit article. Verily "wine is a mocker." Wine and brandy drinkers are cheated of their money, ruin their health, and entail upon themselves, their families and society all the sad consequences of in- �temperance. We wonder if the people of Honolulu imagine they drink the pure article when they sip their wine or drink their brandy ?

Pearson. The following paragraphs are copied from "A Discourse delivered in the Chapel at the Navy Yard, Portsmouth, N.H., on Sunday morning, July 7,1867, by Rev. C. Burroughs, D. D." The subject of this discourse was born in Exeter, New Hampshire, in the year 1799. His early education was in Salem, to which place his parents removed soon after his birth. He very early showed his predilection for the navy, and enlisted as a midshipman in the year 1815, having received his appointment from Massachusetts. Ten years afterward he received a commission as lieutenant. While holding that rank, he was married to Miss Ellen Jackson, of Newburyport, belonging to one of the most respectable families of that city, and sister of the distinguished scholar, who, for his antiquarian researches, general knowledge, and high virtues, was appointed by President Jackson as Minister to Copenhagen. After the year 1832, Lieutenant Pearson was ordered on duty to the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, where he acted as Lieutenant Commander more than three years, and then he received a commission to serve on board the frigate Constitution. In that ship he made several cruises to the Mediterranean. He availed himself of the.proximity to the Holy Land to visit it. With a few friends he left the ship at Jaffa, where he was anchored, and went to Jerusalem, whose sacred localities he diligently surveyed; and he drank in holy emotions from every scene, made dear by the presence and acts of his Saviour. While in the Mediterranean, he took the Syrian fever, which was so severe and lasting, that his recovery seemed impossible. But the Divine Physician watched over him and preserved his life, to make it the means of new blessings to his friends and country. After the year 1837, he was transferred to the United States schooner Shark, of which he had the command for a few years. He was ordered to cruise among the West India Islands, where our ships were constantly molested by pirates. While at Constantinople he was a guest at the house of the late Commodore David Porter, then Minister Resident at Constantinople. The Sultan, cherishing the highest respect and esteem for the Commodore, consulted him in relation to the choice of some distinguished officer of our navy who might be deemed qualified to take a temporary command of the Turkish navy—to have the whole discipline and services for which our fleet officers were distinguished. The Sultan offered ten thousand dollars a year to any American officer who would take that command. Commodore Porter said, "If I should search the whole American navy through to find such a man, I would take the one, now a guestat my house, Lieutenant Commander Pearson." The Sultan regarded the suggestions of the Commodore, and offered to Commander Pearson the supervision of the whole navy. The Commander respectfully acknowledged the singular and generous offer, and, with his characteristic modesty, declined it, though he knew it was to be but a temporary arrangement, which by no means implied a FRIEND, JANUARY, 186S. renunciation of his country, or of allegiance to its laws. The next day the Sultan earnestly renewed his offer. The love of country and of its service made the Commander blind to every foreign favor and every golden enticement, and he promptly declared in reply, " that his country was dearer to him than everything which the Sultan had in his power to offer." From 1860 to 1864, he had the command of the Portsmouth Navy Yard. About the year 1864 he took command of the Pacific squadron, and wus much at Honolulu, Sun Francisco, Lima and Callao. He was made Hear Admiral in 1565. He was about three years on duty in the Pacific. In the spring of this year he returned to his home, leaving his family in the Sandwich Islands. His constitution, severely injured by an attack o f the Asiatic cholera when he was in China, developed some of its mischiefs on reaching our shores. Much quiet and care were necessary for the recovery of bis strength. He had barely reached this country, when he was summoned to attend a court martial at New York. This duty being ended, he was ordered to Annapolis in Maryland, to preside at the examination of the Naval Academy in that place. As he thought of duty more than of himself, he was unwilling to neglect any of the cares and demands on him, to watch and arrest the increasing progress of the disease ; so that when he returned to Portsmouth last June, it was obvious to all his friends that he was suffering severe prostration. That was soon succeeded by congestive chills. None of his friends apprehended any danger about him until Thursday, the 27th of June last. Tfie previous Wednesday he enjoyed a walk. On the evening of that day he was visited with faintness, and said, " this is my last sickness ; " and gave a farewell pressure to the hands of his attending friends. About one o'clock on the morning of the first of July he calmly expired. We have committed his remains to the dust with all the honors due to his rank and merit from the army, navy and community ; with all the solemnity of the services of our ritual ; with expressions of the deepest sorrow and universal love. How merciful was it in Providence to have permitted him to return to his native country to meet his family before his decease, and to interchange the last words of pure and warm af- favor of it, from his language, conduct, manner and bearing. He was in heart and soul devoted to our national Union. All Honor to "a Sailor named Marshall." In reading the account of a terrible explosion in a shaft connected with the Hoosac Tunnel, our attention was arrested by the bold and fearless daring of a sailor. Thirteen laborers were supposed to have perished at the bottom of the shaft, sunk 600 feet. After the'fire was extinguished, but ere the noxious gases were totally expelled, this sailor volunteered to descend and look after the fate of the unfortunate laborers at the bottom of the shaft. The following extract will indicate that the sailor is the man at the moment of danger, and when there is only one chance in a thousand that there is a possibility of escape : The next day a sailor named Marshall, at the peril of his life, was let down the shaft by means of a rope fastened to his body, in the hope that possibly some of the men below might yet be alive. Previously to his going down, knowing the perilous character of his expedition, and the dangers to be encountered from foul air in the shaft, Marshall made his will, and then heroically descended. He went down 600 feet, from which point he was able to see that the bottom of the shaft was covered with water to the depth of 20 feet or more, and that there was not the slightest possible hope for any of the men in the pit. He then made the signal to be hauled up, and when some feet above, encountered a current offoul air which rendered him insensible. Upon being brought to the mouth of the shaft he was still senseless, and scarcely alive, and it was not until the most vigorous means of restoration were applied that the heroic man was restored to consciousness. The tale he then told dispelled the last hope for the men below.— Troy Daily Times. Naval.—H. B. M.'s S. Cameleon, Com. Annesley, arrived at this port on Tuesday, Dec. 17.

His Wife's Letter to Him. Senator — Temperance is one ol ike sweetest and delightful things upon c.irih ;. it is the very spring-head of chei»Wulncss, happiness and joy—the very chivalry of manhood itself. I have beet) a temperance man for fifteen days, and I am a gayer boy to-night than I have been for seventeen years. (Laughter.) «I think lam the gayest man in the Senate, except the compeer of Clay and Crittenden—the able, indomitable and galJant old cavalier of Kentucky (Garret Davis.) I except you also, Mr. Chairman. (Laughter.) Temperance gloomy ? Not a bit of it, Mr. President. My pledge shall be a per]ietual charm, " n thing of beauty which is a most joy forever," not a cloud of gloom, but an ever present rainbow of promise, hope and beauty. lam as proud of it as of my wife and children, and that is the strongest way 1 have to express my pride. (Applause.) I am as proud of it as 1 am ot the commission which entitles me to hold the position of nn American senator. Hy-the-by, Mr. Chairman, I will submit to you the question. I rather think the commission and the temperance pledge ought to go together. (Applause.) What do you think about having " the teetotaller" put into the iron-clad oath ? (Laugh- ter.) You say, of what use is the pledge ? I will tell you. Twenty days ago there came along a friend of mine, a senator, and said, " Let us take a drink." I said, '• Certainly, all right." Another friend from Illinois in minutes and a half came along and said, " Let us take a drink." Said I, " All right." It is this way. One drink of liquor is enough for me ; two ain't half enough (laughter) ; three is only one-third enough, and four is chaos. After I signed ,the pledge I was asked several times to drink; but I didn't do any such thing. (Laughter.) After I signed this temperance pledge 1 wrote to a little lady out in Illinois, who weighs about a hundred pounds, has black hairand flashing black eyes, and " a form fairer than Grecian chisel ever woke from Parian marble," and 1 received the following answer: My Dear Richard :—How beautiful is this morning ; now bright the sun shines ; how sweetly our birds sing; how joyous the children ; how happy is my heart. I see the smile of God. He has answered the prayer. Always proud of your success, you have now achieved that success which God and angels will bless. It is the shining summit of human aspiration, for you have conquered yourself. All who love you will aid you to keep the pledge. I love you, my dearboy. Katie. Love, the sun, souland center of the moral universe ; Love, which links angel to angel, and God to inati | Love, which binds in one two loving hearts. Howbeautiful is love. (Applause.) As 1 look over this audience, composed of senators and representatives of this great nation, and these galleries blazing with beauty and the worth of the city, and sojourners from all the states and territories, I ask myself why they are here.

FEBRUARY I. IS6S. Polynesia—Cannibalism at the Fiji Islands. It has been reported that this abominable practice had been abolished among the natives of the Fiji Islands. This is still true so far as the Government is concerned, and the natives under missionary influence. The recent out-break of the old practice, involving the death of the Rev. Mr. Baker, a Wesleyan missionary, occurred on the largest island of the group, Viti Levu, and at a remote distance irom the capital. Mr. Pease has recently received letters from Mr. Garrett, the American naturalist, so well-known among the islands of Polynesia. In one of his letters Mr. G. refers to the sad death of the Rev. Mr. Baker, who he states was killed and eaten, together with eight of his native teachers, by the mountain tribe of natives on Viti Levu. No particulars had been received. Mr. B. leaves a family to mourn his loss. A few weeks previous Mr. Garrett had made an exploring tour among the wild tribes of the mountains, probably the first person who has ventured to do so, and was treated very kindly. As a proof oftheir exclusiveness and secluded habits, he states that while staying at a trading post on Natewa Bay, Island of Vanua Levu, a number came down from the mountains who never before had seen a white man. The trader who had boldly located at the above post informed J\lr. U. that he had not been disturbed, nnd had to his knowledge but one enemy among the natives around him, and that was a woman whose life he had saved. It is the custom there, when the husband dies, to strangle his wife, that she may accompany him. The woman referred to above was about to be strangled, when the white man interfered and saved her life, as she had a family of young children, for which she cannot forgive him. It will be remembered that the United States steamship Tuscarnra recently visited the Fiji Islands, and an account of her visit we published in the October number of the Frieiid. Having recently received a new and valuable book, published in London, upon this group, in a subsequent number we shall offer some additional remarks upon one of the most interesting group of islands in all Polynesia. Of these islands there are no less than two hundred, large and small. A Cheering Word from Niihau. A correspondent on that island thus writes: We had a very pleasant time here on New "Year's Day with our natives. We had a grand feast, and some very good addresses. Mr. Kupahu (our Pastor) wrote a hymn for the occasion, which was set to music and sung beautifully. After which there was a Total Abstinence Society formed, and all our young people joined it to set a good example, and then a great many natives came forward and joined also, and more will in time. They seemed to enter fully into the spirit of it." It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that foreigners and Hawaiians are vying with each other to promote the cause ot temperance. The Hawaiians are fond of festive scenes. All right-minded and intelligent foreigners who have any regard for the native race, will do all in their power to impart a good healthy and temperate influence among the natives 9 {fll* Series, Vol. 2 4. on such occasions. A vicious and intemperforeigner is the worst of evils among Polynesians, but a moral, correct, sober and Christian foreigner settling among them is a great blessing. Nowhere is example more potent for weal or woe. ate Lehigh University.—Who has not heard of Lehigh coal ? But who ever of Lehigh University ? No one ever heard of the latter until September I, 1866, for then it was founded by the munificent endowment of five hundred thousand dollars and fifty-six acres of land, by the Hon. Asa Packer. This University is situated in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, along side of the venerable schools of the Moravians, so widely known. Mr. Packer, like some other rich and wise men of the United States, having made a fortune, is determined to see it expended in some good enterprise, and not leave it to his heirs to expend for him. This University has opened under favorable auspices, as we learn from a catalogue received by, the last mail. Fifty students have nlready become connected with this University. One of the most re. markable features of the educational interests of jhe United States is this, that rich men are devoting millions to the endowment of schools, colleges and universities.

The audience was large and appreciative. Both concerts have more than met public expectation. Some of the pieces were very much admired.

We copy from the " American Church Missionary Register/ for December, publisbed in New York, the following description of the visit of the one hundred and fifty members of the Episcopal Convention, walkingarm in arm to the Presbyterian Convention sitting in the city of Philadelphia, to which reference is made by our correspondent. Most sincerely do we regret that our narrow limits will not allow us to copy the full report of this " Meeting of Brethren," as it has been aptly termed : So soon as the time of assembling of the Presbyterian Union Convention was announced, it was regarded by many as an opportunity, divinely given, for promotion of Christian unity. By referring to the proceedings of the prayer-meeting held by the Episcopal Convention of Wednesday morning, it will be seen that a young man suggested that prayer be offered for the Presbyterian Convention, and a second young man prayed fervently for that body. A poor woman who was present rejoiced in her heart at the good deed done. On her way she passed the Rev. Dr. Wyllie's Church, and saw the sexton at the door. She could not resist the itnpulse to tell the sexton of the prayer which had been offered. The sexton made haste to bear the good news to the President, George H. Stuart, Esq., who forthwith communicated it to the Convention. Immediately all business was suspended, and all hearts engaged in prayer. The next day a delegation was sent to our meeting. The welcome extended to this delegation has already been described. Such a meeting passes all power of description. It was a gracious time, when every heart warmed with divine love and rejoiced in the Holy Ghost; when strong men bowed themselves, and the old and the yo.ung alike wept; when the Lord set the seal of a special benediction upon this effort to show forth Protestant unity in the faith. All that remains is to give an account of what was done and said. In doing this, we •vail ourselves of various published reports. When all were seated, G. H. Stuart, Esq, the President, called for the singing of the 133dPsalm s how good a thing it is, " Behold, And how becoming well, Together suoh as brethren In unity to dwell! " are The scene was porfectly grand and inspiring, as the whole body, Episcopalians and Presbyterians, united their voices in singing this beautiful and appropriate psalm. Mr. Stuart then read an extract from Paul the Apostle relative to Christian unity. During the reading of this portion of the Scriptures, some of the Episcopal clergy ascended the platform, seated themselves among the Presbyterians, arid, at its conclusion, Rev. Richard Newton, of the Epiphany, offered prayer as follows: '• 0 Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Great Head of the Church, after whom the whole family jn heaven and on earth is named, thou art the highest object of our heartfelt praises, the only foundation of our hope and trust: we look to thee as our only Saviour. Wethank thee for that broad foundation of truth, all centering in thee, and upon which all who love thee live in common. We thank thee that there is so much truth which can not be taken away from the Bible, no matter to what denomination we may belong. Praise to thee that we are seeing more of what we hold in common. Oh! may we have increasing light from thy countenance. Thanks to thee, O Lord ! for this occasion, for this meeting of brethren, for this interchange of brotherly affection and regard. Send more of the spirit of love and unity into the hearts of the people everywhere. Bless those who have here consulted together to promote the cause of unity and truth. We thank thee for the tokens of thy presence with them. Oh ! bless their efforts and crown them with complete success. Be with us now, and make us feel that we are one in Christ, and have no other foundation of love, hope and trust; that we are only complete in thee, not in the Church, not in any family of the faith, but beyond and above all these, we are entire and wanting nothing in thee, 0 precious, precious, precious Saviour! Oh! may we feel thy presence and power while we continue here, and bring us all nearer to each other on earth, and at last unite us in the perpetual unity of the one elected and blood-bought Church to sing the heavenly song to Him who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, to whom, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, be all glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." Prof. H. B. Smith, of New York, then introduced the special deputation in a few words. Mr. Stuart then, advancing to Bishop Mcllvaine, said, " Brother (I can't call you bishop, for we are all brothers in Christ), I, on behalf of the Presbyterian Convention, welcome you and your colleagues." Bishop Mcllvaine saiit. " 1 am very glad to find presiding here over this august body my old friend Mr. Stuart." to war against infidelity ; we have to wn-r against the power which has stood against the Church—a power which at this day has its eyes upon this country and that on the other side of the water. It becomes us, therefore, to unite our endeavors to further every right effort to advance the truth. May God bless us in our endeavors in this great work! The President having introduced Bishop Lee, of Delaware, by saying that the last time he met Bishop Lee was in Richmond, where they had gone to minister to theUnion soldiers, the latter spoke as follows: The deputation has come to reciprocate the courteous and Christian greeting that had been extended to their body. He felt, in common with the one who had preceded him, that this interchange of fellowship and Christian lovewas unprecedented and unexpected. This certainly can not be attributed to the will or wisdom of man, but to God our father. A» the deputation entered this house, the first words that greeted their ears were those uttered in the prayer that was offered: " Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us king and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." We come to acknowledge each other as belonging to this royal priesthood. He felt that it was a privilege to be permitted here to speak of the feelings of love which we entertain for all the family of Christ. He expressed his sympathy with the members of this Convention as members of the household of faith and as engaged in the same great and blessed work, and we all wish that mutual sympathy may prevail among us. We call to remembrance that the truths of the Reformation have been maintained by your communion. We rejoice that you are preparing to stand unitedly against the powers of darkness. In that great day, when we shall be assembled before the throne of God, how insignificant will appear the differences which have here distracted u» as members of the Church. He concluded by thanking the Convention for the warm Bishop Mcllvaine then addressed the Con- and fraternal reception which had been given vention, saying: Dearly beloved brethren: to him and his colleagues. Prof. Smith then led in reciting the AposWe reciprocate your prayers on our behalf. Those prayers have been answered, not di- tles'Creed—all present repeating; after which rectly, but more auspiciously than most of the hymn, be the tie that binds us could have anticipated. God has an" Blest Our hearts in Christian love," swered them in the spirit of love. The entrance of your deputation was a grateful sur- was sung by the entire assembly with deep prise, and every heart was opened at once. emotion. The President then called upon Rev. Chas. We are here to-day for the purpose of expressing our love and our desires in response. Hodge, D.D., of Princeton Theological SemThe right hand of fellowship was extended inary, who addressed the deputation. Dr. Hodge said : I am called upon to speak to us yesterday in prayer, and now in this manner I greet you in the name of the House a word of welcome in behalf of the brethren of Bishops, and I greet you in the name of of the Presbyterian Church, a denomination the Lord Jesus Christ. (Applause.)

The foundation which the Church allow me to present to you (addressing the builds upon is a sure one, and we stand here deputation) our cordial and affectionate Christo testify to our common standing on that tian salutation.

We rejoice with them in all the �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, good that has been accomplished through your instrumentality. 1 hope this audience will pardon a reference to what might seem personal under any other circumstances than the present. You, Bishop Mcllvaine, and Bishop Johns, whom I bad hoped to see on this occasion, and 1 were boys together in Princeton College, fifty odd years ago. Evening after evening have we knelt together in prayer. We were baptized in spirit together, in the great revival of 1815, in that institution ; we sat together year after year in the same class-room, and we were instructed by the same venerable theological teachers. You have gone your way and I mine, but I will venture to say, in the presence of this audience, lhat I do not believe that in all that time you have preached any one sermon which I would not have rejoiced to have delivered. I feel the same confidence in faying that I never preached a sermon which you would not have fully and cordially indorsed. Here we now stand, gray-headed, side by siue, after more than fifty years, the representatives of these two great bodies, feeling for each other the same intimate and cordial love; looking not" backward, not downward at the grave at our very feet, but onward at the coming glory. Brethren, pardon these personal allusions; but is there not something that may be regarded as symbolical on this occasion ? Sir, were not your church and ours rocked in the same cradle ? Have they not passed through the same Red Sea of trial? Did we not receive the same baptism of the Spirit? Do they not bear the same testimony to Christ and the Apostle ? What difference is there between the Thirtynine Articles and our Confession, greater than the difference between the different parts of one great cathedral anthem that arises lo the skies ? Does it not seem to you that these great churches are coming together? We stand here to declare to the whole world that we are one in faith, one in baptism, one in hope, and one in allegiance to your Lord and our Lord. During the delivery of Dr. Hodge's address tears were falling from almost every eye, and it would be impossible with the pen to convey any adequate impression of the solemnity of the scene. After these addresses the Convention spent some moments in silent prayer, when Bishop Mcllvaine led in fervent prayer for the object contemplated in this Presbyterian Convention, and Rev. Dr. John Hall, of New York, (late of Dublin,) led in earnest and appropriate prayer for the Episcopal churches in this country and in Great Britain and Ireland. Bishop Lee offered the Lord's Prayer, the assemblage joining. Mr. Stuart, the President, addressing Bishop Mcllvaine, repeated the last three verses of the sixth chapter of Numbers : •' The Lord bless thee,and keep thee; the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up his coun- vast 11 1868. as nenr to the communion and spirit of the of the great public schools of the Republic. heavenly world as it is ever permitted to at- The society, which numbers between 500 and tain here below. 600 members, held its second annual meeting in June last, and issued an octavo pamphEditor's Table. let of 108 pages, under the title of ' Oration, Poem, and Speeches delivered at the Second The 11 him iTAdK ano otukii I'okms.

There is much gold, silver and other mineral wealth in California. There is boundless enterprise among the people on the Pacific coast. There are ministers, lawyers, physicians and scientific men. There are editors,oratorsand literary men. Butwhcther amidst nil their wealth, talent and enterprise they have one real genuine poet is yet an undecided point. There are numbers who write for the Poet's Corner in newspapers and magazines, but has California a firstclass poet, or even a second-class poet ? Is there one writer of poetry who writes because he cannot help it ? This is the question. The volume lying upon our table indicates that possibly there is a true poet in California. Time and the world will determine. We hope it will be decided by the coining age, that the author of the poems in this volume is a true poet. If so, then he will prove of infinite wealth to the people of the Pacific slope. Poets are rare personages—rare gifts of heaven. A poet is one of a nation's great teachers. Some German critic has suggested that there were many Homers who wrote the Iliad ; but President Felton answers that point admirably: " Heaven never give Greece but one Homer, any more than heaven has never given Rome but one Virgil, England but one Shakespeare and one Milton, and Italy but one Dante." The author of these poems, it appears, is a banker in San Francisco, and a graduate of Vale College, belonging to the class of '61. Like Rogers, it appears that while engaged in banking, Mr. Sill finds time to write poetry. It is reported of Rogers, the poet, that he was the richest poet that ever lived. We hope it may prove true that the rising poet of California is the r.chest in thought and fancy of all living men. Hereafter we shall occasionally enrich our columns with specimens of Mr. Sill's poetry. The following " odd scrap of literary history " is de- serving of republication.

One physician is rcporied to have said that no case of aneurism occurs unless the patient is addicted to the use of spirituous or malt liquors, or that the use of those liquors conduces to bring on and intensifies the disease. If so, then we do not wonder at the number of sudden deaths in the community, otherwise exceedingly healthy. This is a new book, tind no doubt merits a careful perusal, for we have loaned it to one " M.

" ear for music." Neither do all have a mind for Greek, or Latin, or mathematics. We remember one student, now regarded among the most eminent preachers in America, who had so little taste for mathematics, that he said he never saw through but one proposition of Conic Sections, and that one Was upon a page that had a hole through it ! Yet he was required to attend upon the recitations of his class. Students often are required to devote their time to studies for which they have no taste. The same would be true of some if they were required to study music. This is ■ subject which we should be glad to see ably handled. It would require the compass of a volume to give it a proper discussion. We do not think Luther was less a reformer because he sung and could "compose " Old Hundred. Neither do we imagine Milton less a poet and writer of masterly prose because he loved music and could play upon an organ. Much as we admire the Puritan character of the Pilgrim Fathers and the early settlers of New England, we are far from thinking but they might have been essentially improved by more at' tcntion to music and poetry. Shakespeure may not have been quite right in saying that a man who " had no music in his soul was fit for murder" and other horrible things, still we believe that music in a good man's soul will render him vastly useful, if he will sing •' with the spirit and understanding." have not an Marquesas Islands.—By the way of Tahiti, we have received a letter from Mr. Thomas Lawson, who has resided for many years upon those islands. The letter bearsdate of Caunn, September 5, 1867. At that time the Hawaiian missionaries were well. Mr. Lawson has acquired a very intimate knowledge of the native language, and now proposes to publish a volume of hymns for the use of the native Christians. Mr. LI thusj refers to the cultivation nnd sale of cotton : "The Government (French) still continues to buy all the Sea Island cotton raised, here at 10 cents per pound. The French Mission has sold about $4,000 worth in all to a merchant at Tahiti at 6 cents per pound." The work of civilization and christianization appears to ho progressing at the Marquesas Islands.

Having finished her work, she finally took her departure from Ebon, Marshall Islands, for Honolulu, making the passage in the uncommonly short time of twenty-eight days. On her return, she brought as passengers Mrs. Snow and two children, who expects to visit her friends in the United Slates, from whom she has been now separated seventeen years. Her husbntld remains to labor in Micronesia. She is expecting to return. Two Hawaiian missionaries also crime as passengers, viz: Rev. H. Aea und wife, fiom the Marshall Islands, where they have labored since 1860. Also, Mr. D. P. Aum.ii and wife, teachers. All these came on account of their health, and hope ere long to return. In our previous sketch we neglected to state that the two Hawaiian missionaries driven nway from Butnritnri, one of the Gilbert Islands, (where the Hawaiian seamen were murdered some eighteen months ago,) have both returned and resumed their labors under the most encouraging auspices. While the Morning Star was at Strong's Island, the harbor was also visited by the American whaleship Emma C. Jo~net, Capt. Gifford, who was accompanied by his wife and children. They entered most cordially into the missionary work. Capt. and Mrs. Giflbrd are members of the Society of Friends. Thus far 'he new Morning Star has most fully come up to the fond wishes and highest expectations of its " hundred thousand own« ers " and the numerous patrons ofthe American Board of Missions.

It is certainly a grand affair for this part of the world. The entire expense must have exceeded &2.000. From what we learn, the maker in Boston deserves much credit for so faithfully filling out the order. Mr. Hunnewell and others who have interested themselves in the enterprise, may feel fully satisfied that the instrument is a grand success.

Man may die, but the church lives. When, however, man has faithfully finished his work, it matters little where the body may rest, for thus writes the Revelator John "And I iieard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord, from henceforih ; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." are now Memorials of the Rev. Edward Johnson. By the arrival of the Morning Star, the sad intelligence was announced that another of the American missionaries to these Islands had finished his earthly career. He sailed in the Morning Star as an associate delegate with Capt. Bingham to the mission churches of Micronesia. When his work was partially completed, he died of typhoid fever while the vessel was on her passage from the Gilbert Islands to the Marshall Islands. His remains were conveyed to the Island of Ebon, and there interred upon the mission premises. This is the first foreign missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. who has ever died in Micronesia. Mr. Johnson was a native of Mollis, N. H., having been born in ISI3, and hence, dying on the Ist of September, 1867, was 54 years of age. He came to these Islands in 1837, arriving with that large re-enforcement which supplied so many teachers. Waioli, on Kauai, was the station assigned to him, and there he continued to reside with his family during the entire period of his missionary life—thirty years. The early part of his life as a missionary was spent as a teacher, being associated with the Rev. Mr. Alexander. In consequence of changes and removals, it was deemed advisable that he should be ordained as the Pastor of Waioli Church. Such were his qualifications for the ministerial work, that he has officiated for many years with great usefulness, having been assisted by the efficient co-operation of his excellent wife, who survives with a family of five daughters and one son to mourn his loss. The unexpectedness of the death of Mr. Johnson renders the blow most distressing to his sorrowing family and parish. If he had died at home, bereaved and sorrowing friends and people would have borne him to his grave and paid the last sad offices over his remains, but his remains repose on the lone Island of Ebon, far, far away. For many years Mr. Johnson has been one of the pillars of the churches on the Island of Kauai. Not originally having been educated for the ministry, he has evinced traits which have admirably fitted him for usefulness among Hawaiians. As one afteranother of the early missionaries to the Islands passes away, a sad vacancy is made, but it is » matter of rejoicing that Ml so many instances native Hawaiians are prepared, by education and other qualifications, to carry forward the work of the Gospel. A most excellent Hawaiian minister now preaches in the pulpit vacated by the death of the Rev. Mr. Emerson about one year ago. No higher praise could be bestowed upon the departing and dying missionaries, and no better proof of the soundness of their teachings be adduced, than that afforded by the fact that native Hawaiian : A Convert to Foreign Missions. The Christian Register of November 30th, 1867, a weekly Unitarian newspaper published in Boston, contains the addresses of several of the leading divines of that denomination upon the subject of foreign missions. Among these addresses we find some remarks by W. T. Brigham, Esq., who recently visited these Islands and taught at Oahu College. From his remarks we copy the following paragraphs. These remarks confirm the oft-repeated sentiment that foreign travel will liberalize the mind and tend to make men more charitable in their opinions. In our intercourse with foreign visitors, how often we have met persons on landing full of narrow-minded prejudice against missionaries and good people, but upon leaving we have noticed that their minds have undergone an entire change. All, however, are not so honest, generous and frank as Mr. Brigham to recant their opinions and make a full confession before a Boston audience. " I confess to you that, four years ago, I believed, as many Unitarians believed, that foreign missions were useless and absurd ; or, at least, were only useful to teach people how to open their purses. I thought that missionaries were a fanatical, narrow-minded set of men, who could get no parishes or societies at home, and went off to foreign lands because they seemed to have no other work. But a residence of a year and a half on the Hawaiian Islands was enough and more than enough to undeceive me. 1 found there a band of missionaries who, in about forty years, have raised a whole people from the lowest depths of barbarism to a civilized condition that we might be proud of in New England. I had heard so many stories of the deceit, hypocrisy and tyranny that these missionaries practiced upon the unsophisticated natives, that I really believed them. I that the world has ever seen, perhaps, and might be the text for very many sermons; but I think it is familiar to you all. After that, wherever I went I looked-for the" missionaries. I lound the Presbyterians, the Congregationalists, the Episcopalians, the Baptists, all with their men in the field. Rome, too, was sending her devoted bands, working nobly. But from the time I left Boston, with the single exception of Starr King's dying sermon, I heard no Unitarian preaching, and I saw no Unitarian missionaries, until, two years afterwards, 1 tracked through the crooked streets of Calcutta into a dark, narrow lane, where the American Unitarian Association has its solitary mission."

Wonderful changes have during this time taken place in the moral and religious condition of all the inhabitants of the East Pacific, and neat advance lias been made on the heuthen darkness of the Western part of this ocean. results have been achieved, and great impetus has been gained for the work which still remains. The whole Christian world is drawing rapidly together in the bands of Union, and the time must certainly be near when the various evangelical branches of the Christian church laboring in the Island World may well come together for conference. Such a meeting will be of great advantage in securing a combined statement of results, in more distinctly bringing out the various methods of labor, and in more clearly indicating what still remains to be done and it will also give opportunity for conferring together regarding the points where our several organizations meet in the natural expansion of their work. But above all, it will impart strength to our Redeemer's Cause by drawing nil together in Love and Union. As henthenism gives way, new forms of evil rise, some of which, under the garb and name of Christianity, tend to undermine our labors. We need the strength and the stimulus of n Union which shall promote the healthy rivalry of Love. It is therefore proposed by the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association that a Convention of Evangelical Missionaries be held in Honolulu during the month of June, 1870. The Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association is held in Honolulu in June, at which time there are assembled nearly fifty native and foreign ministers, which is the largest body of pastors in the Pacific. Honolulu is perhaps better able to entertain the numerous foreign and aboriginal representatives from other missions and groups which we hope will gather at that time, than any other place in the Pacific ; and situated as it is on the lines of commerce, Honolulu may prove to be as easy of access to the whole of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia as any point which can be named. As the year 1870 is the semi-centennary anniversary of the Hawaiian Mission, it is but natural that the Convention of Missionaries should be connected with an event of such general interest. It is proposed that as many of the Foreign Evangelical Missionaries of the Pacific attend the Convention as can make it convenient. We would also suggest that two or three of the leading native Christians—ministers or laymen—of each important group be selected by the several missions to attend as honorary members. Arrangements will it is hoped be made with the Parent Societies, by which the several missionary vessels may bring the delegates of their various missions to the Convention. We shall even hope that deputations from the European and American Societies engaged in this ocean will attend the Convention. We would also suggest to each mission that it appoint individuals of their number to prepare essays to be submitted to the Convention on the most important of such missionary topics as may seem to them of general interest; such essays to be forwarded, ■even should the authors be unable to attend.

First Voyage of the new "Morning Star" to Micronesia. » [KKI-OKT OF UKI.KtIATK To TUX HAWAIIAN IIOARII. | The new Morning Star left Honolulu on her first voyage to Micronesia on the afternoon of Monday, July Ist, 1867. She anchored the next day about noon in Hanalei Bay, where she was welcomed by Mr. Johnson nnd his people. Quite a number of donations in the way of provisions were made by the friends ol the vessel. She sailed again the same evening, having taken on board Mr. Johnson. lithnl at V.nltlbu. Owing to not a few days of light winds, it was not till midnight of the 21st (or in reality of the 20th, as wo had no Saturdny) that we sighted Wnitibu (Tracy's Island), one of the Ellice Group, in lat. 7° 28' S., long. 178 ° 44' E-, about one hundred miles to the eastward of Nui (Netherlands Island)—the latter being the first point at which we were instructed to touch. As there was scarce a probability of our being able to reach Nui the next day in time to go ashore, it seemed good to the delegates to remain near Waitibu till morning, especially as the Captain wns desirous of accurately rating his chronometers. We hoped, too, to have some intercourse with the people, and to learn whether as vet a Samoan native missionary had been left among them. Intercourse with the Pf*|ile. At an early hour the noxt day four canoes put out for the vessel. On board one of these was an umbrella, and we felt that civilization must have already commenced its work. Much to our joy we were soon boarded by Pen, a native missionary from Samoa. From him we learned that he had been on the island one year and eight months ; that the inhabitants were three hundred and eightyfour; that half of them had already destroyed their idols and embraced Christianity, and that all the children and younger people had learned to read ; that their language was the same with the Samoan ; that quite a number were hopefully converted, whom he expected to baptize in case he was so advised, when visited by their missionary vessel. Our short visit on shore deepened our impression of the blessed work so well commenced. A large and well-built church some filty-seven feet by thirty-six, with jts neat polpit, built by �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1868. 18 the gratuitous lal>or of the natives, was an object of special interest j and the large and scrupulously neat dwelling of the teacher was a model for the docile and quiet people about him. Pen spoke English; and though his wife could not converse directly with us, yet her intelligent face, warm welcome and very tidy appearance gave us a pleasing idea of what the Samoan female missionaries might generally be. The fluency of the readers and their independence in singing were truly gratifying. We found several people from Nui speaking the Gilbert Island language, who were able to read readily in the new hooks which we brought outfrom Boston and Honolulu. You can imagine my pleasant surprise at seeing a copy of a reprint of our little hymn book, done at Samoa for the benefit of the Nui people, and also one of the sixty-four original copies of the Gospel of John printed on letter paper on our little press at Apaiang in 1864. It was no little pleasure to Mrs. Bingham to find two Nui women able to read fluently in our new books, who had been instructed by two of her ownl pupils. We shall not soon forget this delightful visit; though the contrast of one year and eight months' missionary labor here with those of six years and a half at Apaiang could not be otherwise than—l had almost said—painful. Tbe Island of Waitibu is three or four miles long, and one in width. Like the Gilbert Islands, it produces nothing but the cocoanut and pandanus and a species of taro. In the centre is a beautiful lagoon with no visible connection with the sea. Through inquiry we learned from Pen that neither food nor money were sent them from abroad, but only clothing and some utensils. A visit at this island would doubtless greatly benefit our Hawaiian missionaries. Our own impressions are delightful. Visit at Nil. at the other a spacious room some forty feet by thirty, built for and used as church and school-house. While all appeared neat, yet no comparison could be made between this building and the two at Waitibu of which I have spoken; but when we remember that the whole building was erected by the gratuitous labors of a tribe in whose veins freely flowed the Gilbert Island blood, we will give them great credit for what they have done. While in the sitting-room we were visited by the King, who called to present several hundred green cocoanut3, which were brought in and piled up in the middle of the room by quite a retinue of men, who all came up to shake hands with us. In the meantime the chapel had been filled so quietly by a crowd of people, that their presence was not suspected till a glimpse through a crevice in the partition revealed the pleasing sight. When we were ushered in. at the request of Mr. Johnson, the Cap'.ain, as chief speaker from a knowledge of the language, took the great pulpit-chair, home-made, in front of which Lwas a stand. Back of it were hung a written Tist of rules of decorum for the house, and a line of slates. On either side were provided settees, furnishing seats for the strangers and for the King. On the right, as we faced the audience, were a large number of well-dressed women, with their hair nicely parted and arranged (the usual Gilbert Island fashion being to allow the hair to hang down over the forehead), while the men, suitably clothed, occupied on the left, and the children immediately in front. These too were all in a measure clothed. Some two hundred, nearly the entire population of the island, were present. At a word from their teacher, passage after passage from the primer, printed at Honolulu in 1865, such as the stories of Cain and Abel, the offering of Isaac, the deluge, Jesus at the well (quoted from John), the child's catechism of twenty-four questions and answers, and a catechism of seventy-five questions and answers on the Christian religion, the Lord's Prayer, the ten commandments, Confession of Faith and Covenant, were repeated with the most surprising fluency and unison. During the exercises they also recited a part of the fifth of Matthew, and, had we desired it, their teacher informed us they could have rehearsed eleven chapters of Matthew. The substance of Mr. Murray's letter to Mr. Bingham was stated to the people, and the reason for our visit. The books were then arranged upon the table, and the examination of pupils in reading commenced. As we could not spare books enough to give one of each kind to every reader, the plan was adopted «f giving the preference to such as exhibited the greatest proficiency in the art. The number of fluent readers, both of men, women and children, was perfectly surprising ; and the rapidity with which they would turn to any chapter and verse in the gospels of Matthew and John, and the epistle to the Ephesians, to any chapter of the Bible Stories, in editions which they had never before seen, showed how thorough had been their drill, and how eager their zeal for learning. Their exercises in singing were also pleasant. Hours more might have been delightfully passed, but time was tailing us. Each pupil was furnished with at least one We sailed at two the same day, and were off Nui (Netherlands or Eeg Island) early the next morning. This island is in lat. 7 ° 27' S., long. 177 15' E. Three other islands of Ellice's Group lie between this island and the Gilbert Group, each containing a population of three hundred, but speaking the language of Waitibu and Samoa, while the inhabitants of Nui speak tbe Gilbert Island language. Nui is distant from Arorae, the nearest of the Gilbert Islands, two hundred and sixty nautical miles, and five hundred and ninety from Apaiang. On board the first canoe which visited the vessel was a native of Apaiang who had been much in the employ of the missionaries on that island. His pleasure at the re-union was very noticeNot long after, we were boarded by [irisome, a Samoan teacher who was left on lis island by the missionary vessel Dayspring i November, 1865. He could not speak English, but conversed with us with remarkble ease in the language of the people. We fere much surprised at the proficiency which c had made in the language during his hort stay. Taking with us the books which ,c proposed leaving, we accompanied him to lie shore. We were met by a large group f natives, "clothed and in theirright minds." Ye went directly to the missionary's house, loticing with pleasure, as we passed, a sustended bell. In one end of the building were book. Of readers Kirisome furnished the wo rooms, a sitting-room and bed-room, and following statistics: of boys and girls, 26; * Ible. men, 35 ; women, 46 ; total, 107. During the whole exercises, not a breach of decorum nor a sign of weariness was observed. Their behavior was unexceptionable. These exercises were closed by addresses from the delegates, singing and prayer. We learned that there were twenty-seven women and nineteen men whom Kirisome regarded as truly the friends of Jesus, and who were candidates for baptism. With most of these we held an informal interview, assuring them of our Christian love. Among them were the Apaiang native of whom mention has been made and his wife, also the King of the island, Taukie. The readiness of the latter in repeating the catechism was noticed with much satisfaction by both delegates. As we crossed the flat on our return to the boat, he kept us company, and upon parting, urged the Captain to come again. Thus ended one of the happiest days of our lives. We had been permitted to see a people " born in a day." Not two years since the first Christian missionary came to dwell amongst them, and from the first have they furnished him and his family all necessary food without pay. One Christian feeds them one day, another another, and if by any means there is a failure, near neighbors see that the missionary and his wife and child have something to eat. The island produces no breadfruit, a poor variety of pandanus, scarcely edible, a species of taro, a little sugar-cane, and an abundance of cocoanuts. One or two banana trees were noticed ; and yet this missionary depends on no provisions from abroad. He seemed happy and contented in his work, hardly knowing when he should be visited by an English missionary. W hat a model for our Hawaiian missionaries! Withreference to the work on Nui, it is no more than justice to state that previous to the arrival of a missionary, not a little religious instruction had been given the people by a Mr. Robert Waters, an English trader. Mtssluoar) Explorations—Tamana. On Sunday morning, July 28th, we reached the Island of Tamana (Chase's or Kotch's Island), lat. 2° 32'S, long. 176° 9'E., the winds and currents not permitting us to touch at the windward islands Arorae and Nukunau. It was not long before some hundred and fifty people came off to us in their boats, most eager to exchange their commodities for tobacco. They seemed greatly disappointed that the Morning Star was not a tobacco trader, and that our observance of the Sabbath did not allow of any trading whatever on that day. Inquiry was made of tbe first canoe that reached us whether missionaries would be welcomed among them. The reply was made that they would not be, because their gods would be angry, and the people would dieof sickness. No one seemed to be recognized as king, and we found it difficult to know with whom to converse on the subject of our errand. While most of the men who boarded us were entirely nude, two or three were clothed in shirts and pants ; and by one of these we were invited on shore and kindly entertained. We met some two hundred of the people in the council-house (among whom many were children), and told them of the object of our mission. The Gospel sot Desired. We went also to another council-house in �19 THE FRIEND, MARCH, 18*8. another part of the island, but failed to induce an elderly man of acknowledged importance to be present to give us a hearing in (he big house. We were eventually conducted by a man who professed to be his son, to the father's residence. A worried face showed that-our presence was not desired. He however listened to our statements, and made some inquiries respecting what effect missionary teachings would have upon the ancient customs of the people. His superstitious fears prevailed, and he could not be induced to give his consent to the residence of missionaries among his people. The change which came over his frowning face when we proposed to take our departure was most noticeable. We greatly pitied the old man who in his darkness rejected the offer of the blessed Gospel for himself and his people. The man who invited us ashore assured us that lie himself would receive a missionary and would furnish a piece of land. The Island of Tamann, is some three or four miles long, about half a mile broad, has no lagoon, and can be approached on all sides, as there are no sunken reefs. The productions of the-island are quite similar to those of the GilbertIslands in general. There may be five or six hundred people. No white man is living ashore, no vessels regularly trade with the people. In the hands of a young man we found a small book containing the names of some such. The last was the ship Julian, which touched there February 9th, 1867, having taken sixty barrels of sperm oil since leaving Honolulu. Onotoa. At the meeting were gathered some' three hundred people in a house one hundred and twenty feet by sixty. After some statements from the delegates and Mr. Waters, Te Toanimatang arose and addressed the elders, speaking favorably of our object, to which address there was a general response of approbation. The way seems open for the speedy occupation of this island. Teri. On the 31st of July we reached the Island of Peru. As at Onotoa, we were soon surrounded by a fleet of canoes, and our decks crowded with noisy savages, many of whose bodies bore marks of severe cuts. They were all very earnest in their inquiries for tobacco, and could hardly be made to believe that the delegates and ladies did not deal in it. Scarce a man wore any covering whatever; the women wore the usual fringe skirt of the Gilbert Islands. The island was smaller than Onotoa—not more than ten miles long. There was no boat passage into the shallow lagoon, and from Mr. Meader, a Massachusetts man who had been living ashore manyyears, we learned that a landing could not be effected in a boat, except at high water, on account of the rocky nature of the reef, and that he had never known a vessel to anchor during his residence. He estimated the population at between three and four thousand ; said that he had counted two thousand in a gathering. The estimate seems much too large. It would not be surprising if it did not exceed fifteen hundred. It was too late to go on shore and return before dark; the weather was squally, and we could not be near enough in to avail ourselves of the morning tide; and after a full consultation it was decided to bear away for Tapiteuea, as the Captain did not deem it best to calculate upon spending a night ashore while the current was strong, and the possibility of the vessel's drifting away being greut, and as Mr. Johnson did not think it worth while to land alone. Both the natives and Mr. Meader said that there was no acknowledged king, and the latter that the people were a lawless mob ; that the northern portion of the island was a bedlam from the use of the fermented toddy. Those natives to whom the proposition of a missionary's coming among them was made, seemed pleased, and Mr. Meader thinks no opposition would be made. Doubtless many trials would be met with among so rude a people, but none such as should deter a missionary of the cross of Christ from going among them to tell them of the great salvation. If the experiences on ship-board be any index, a missionary's wife would be likely to meet with not a little rudeness. On the next morning, July 29th, we reached Onotoa (Clark's Island), distant about forty miles N. N. W. This proved to be a much longer island, being some twelve miles in length, having a lagoon, bordered by a reef on the western side, with a good boat channel near the centre. We anchored at the extreme western point of the reef, some six miles from the main land, but afterwards learned that there was good anchorage in a bay on the north-west side, much nearer. The bay is readily distinguished from the mast-head. We were soon surrounded by fifty canoes, which brought off cocoanuts, mats, cocoanut molasses, shells and women, in exchange for which they plead for tobacco. We lost no time in assuring them that ours was a missionary ship. Mr. Waters, of whom we have spoken, welcomed us ashore. He is at present employed by Capt. Randell to collect oiland beche dc meron this island. We found him to be a man of more than ordinary intelligence, and quite disposed to favor our object. He had recently succeeded in inducing the natives to give up the use of Ttpltetea. the fermented cocoanut toddy. He estimates On the 2d of August we anchored on the their number at between twelve and fourteen hundred. leeward or west side of Tapiteuea (DrumThe Gospel VYfiremed. mond's Island), near the north end. This is At his house we met Te Toanimatang, an one of the longest and most populous of the elderly chief whom Mr. Waters regarded as Gilbert Islands. From a Mr. Macpherson in second to none in influence upon the island. the employ of Capt. Kandell & Co., we learned His pleasant smile as we talked with him that there was no acknowledged head.

The elderly men seemed much gratified with what we had to say, and with a good degree of enthusiasm expressed their readiness to receive missionaries amongst them, and to give up their ancient gods for the only true Jehovah. While the Captain was speaking, one of the old men rose to his feet, took his station near the speaker, and interrupted by calling upon the people to put away their gods, and accept the God that wns then offered to them. Some said, " We have been waiting for you to come." Children seemed quite numerous. A wide door is open here which should be entered without delay. On.some portions of the island more or less drunkenness exists. On the north point the people seem generally to have listened to the advice of Mr. Macpherson to abandon the use ofthe sour toddy. HMbbbw The next day, August 3d, we anchored off" the south end of Nonouti (Sydenham's Island), on the west side. No natives came off in their canoes, but we were soon boarded by Mr. Lowth&r, an English trader. He said that he had bad news for us in our work ; that a white man, Sullivan by name, an Irishman, had been murdered on the island last March, and the fear of the natives was the reason they did not come off; that there was a great deal of drunkenness,*and that ho meant lo leave the island as soon as Capt. Randell should touch. He estimated the population nSnhout two thousand five hundred ; he said that many had perished by the famine, and murders were very numerous ; that ihere was no king. Noisy Reception by a Drunken Nob. We visited the council-house on the south end of the island that same afternoon, but the noise and confusion of the drunken rabble made it almost impossible to hold intercourse with the elderly men. A fight was breaking out between two of the number, and we improved the opportunity for withdrawing. So far as they had listened, they seemed gratified with our errand. More Enfonr»(rlnn Welreme >t Another Villain. The next day being the Sabbath, we visited the most populous part of the island, some six miles further north. Mr. Lowther accompanied us in his boat, and showed us much kindness. Some three hundred and seventy-five assembled in the council-house, most all of whom were quiet and orderly. Just as the Captain was commencing to address them, a drunken man sprang up, exclaiming, in substance, " What does all this mean ?" He was soon led out by his companions, and no more such interruptions occurred. Wa spent most of the day in this place, finding the people eager for instruction, and ready 10 welcome a missionary as soon as one should come among them. While they were being urged to embrace the religion of Jesus, a listener exclaimed, " Who will teach us ? " Here indeed seemed to be another door open for the immediate entrance of the servants of the Lord. Our hearts were very much cheered, and our great regret .was that we had no teacher to leave among them at the present time. Had time permitted, we could have profitably srent several* days on the island, and as well also on Tupiteuea. Two missionaries for each of these islands, �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1868. 20 and also for Onotoa, should be supplied without delay. The next morning we sailed for Apemama, stepping to explore the passage into the lagoon on the west side of Nonouti. We penetrated to about the centre of the lagoon, when shoals and rocks seemed to make it doubtful whether the Morning Star could conveniently upproach nearer than three or four miles to the shore of the lagoon on the weather side, where the inhabited parts of the island are generally found. i»n's Apenam*..

But in our dreadful suspense our ever I merciful Heavenly Father sent the favoring puff,and slowly the vessel started ahead, and we were once more in safety upon the deep. | We anchored that evening in the Tarawa lagoon, and were boarded by our brethren, Mahoe and Haina, about half-past seven, though we were some eight miles from their station. Our mutual joy at meeting was great. The next day (Saturday) we beat up to Tapiang, and remnined there till Wednesday morning. On the Sabbath we attended worship at three places, addressing congregations of fifty or sixty. These were naturally larger than usual. On Monday the brethren und sisters held an examination of their pupils in a school-house near their dwellings, at which King Kourupi appeared conspicuous, in proficiency, among some thirteen readers, though a son of his, some sixteen years old, was most fluent of all. This son also wrote with considerable ease. Of the thirteen readers some were but beginners. fn geography the King passed the best cxamimitioii. Not one of the pupils is as yet regarded as hopefully converted. Tuesday was occupied by the mission families in preparing to attend the general meeting at Apaiang ; and that evening the four parents and nine children and one boarding pupil (a half-caste girl in the family of Haina) were on board in readiness for an early departure in the morning. Apaiang. Unfavorable winds, calms and currents prevented our arrival at the station on Apaiang before the forenoon of Friday. We were boarded by Aumai and Kapu miles before we reached the station, in the little Alfred, in which I was so often wont to go dancing over the waves to meet and welcome the old Meriting Star on her annual visits. The welcome from the brethren was most cordial, and it was with feelings of not a little emotion that we once more landed on the island where most of our missionary life had been spent. Surely none had greater occasion for gratitude than we, when we looked back upon what we had passed through since we left Apaiang in feebleness in June, 186-1. During our absence of three years two had been I added to the church, the Kingund a domestic of his, both of whom were regarded as can- ] ditlates for baptism before our departure. This domestic (loane by name) seemed greatly rejoiced to meet us again, and the tears which (ell from his eyes were what we hardly ever expected to see on the cheeks ot a Gilbert Islander from such a cause. That evening a meeting was held with reference to the examination of five candidates—three men and two women, which examination, on the whole, was satisfactory. It was proposed to baptize them upon the return of the Morn- Several were able to write ; some answered questions in geography. There were also recitations from the catechism. In the examination Aumai, Kapu, Mauli and Maria all took part ns teachers. On Sunday morning at the close of service, in the chapel at Koinawas before the sßcramenp of the Lord's Supper, the King made a confession of sin. Joseph also did likewise. The latter, who had lieen for a long time a wanderer, was not then restored, hut was encouraged to persevere in his repentance. The Queen has ever remained faithful.

In the afternoon Mr. Johnson, Kapu ami Haina went to (lie out-station at Ewena to hold service, in which they were assisted by loane. Some of us went in an opposite direction to Aonobuaka. On Monday morning General Meeting was organized and proceeded to business. The meeting adjourned Wednesday afternoon. Religious exercises were held in the morning of each day. As I full report of this meeting will be forwarded by the Secretary to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, it will not be necessary for me to enter much into detail. With respect to salaries, the general feeling seemed to lie that the present amount was not sufficient to enable those with large families comfortably to support them. 1 especially recommend the cases of Haina and Mahoe to the consideration of the Board. Toward the close of the session on Wednesday, us the meeting was about adjourning, Mr. Johnson spoke of feeling poorly, left his chair, and took a reclining position on the settee. Drtstfc (if Mnrtlm Hiiliur. Mahoe's little girl Martha was also at this time unwell, having symptoms of dysentery. Our plan was to have sailed on Thursday, and to have left the Tarawa families at the north end of that island, to proceed the rest of the way in their new boat. The illness of the child, however, required new arrangements. She grew rapidly worse, und it was Mahoe's desire to return by the Morning Star to his own home. We sailed Friday morning, and reached our anchorage under Tapiang before noon the next day. At 2, P. M., the little one breathed her last on board the Morning Star. A little coffin was made on board, and on Snbbath forenoon we took the remains on .shore for burial. Mr. Johnson's continued illness prevented his accompanying us. A prayer was offered in Mahoe's house; funeral services were held at the church, nnd the little one was laid to rest in the yard of the house where she had often played. Mahoe seemed very grateful for all tho kindness which had been shown during the sickness and death of his child. On Monday morning we shoultl have sailed for Butaritari, but the approach of Capt. Randell led us to defer sailing lor a day, that we might have a full interview with him in reference to the massacre on that island in June, 1866. He ascribed it mainly to the effect of strong drink. ing Star from Ponape. At this meeting also, Sarah, one of the early converts, residing of late on Tarawa, nnd who had come over with us for the purpose, took occasion to make confession of sin, and having expressed her determination to return again to her Saviour, was, by vote of the church, restored to full fellowship.

The King was absent at �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1868. Makin, some twenty miles distant, the ocean channel being however about two miles wide. The next morning Atimai set out in a little canoe to inform the King of our arrival, and that the Captain was the bearer of dispatches from His Majesty Kamehameha Y. to him- self, and to invite him to return to his capital, that the letter might be put into his hands and translated for him. He declined to come, alleging that his father (or uncle) was near to death, and he could not leave him, but commissioned his brother to return with Autnai and receive the letter in his place. They reached the Morning Star early in the forenoon of Saturday. Though Mr. Johnson had gone, unassisted, on top of the after house to lie down, he did not notice their arrival. The brother of the King listened to the letter from Kamehameha, and through my pen acknowledged its reception, stating that his brother would prepare a reply against our return from Ponape. He was anxious that we should remain till after the Sabbath, that we might hold service in their church. He wished us also to visit the house of Kanoa, the keys of which were in his possession. Mr. Johnson, however, felt thnt we had done what we could, and, on account of his severe illness, desired that we should delay no longer, but take* our anchor and make as .speedily as possible for Ebon. Being advised, on the approach of rain, to seek rest below, before help could be obtained for him, he came down to the sofa in the cabin. He kindly gave his hand to the brother of the King, and apologized for his apparent indifference, laying to me something like this, in Hawaiian, " Ua ike paha in i ka mai." I assured him that I had stated to the chief his state of health. Death of Mr. Johnson. 'While I was busy getting the vessel under way, he retired to his room, as it subsequently proved, lor the last time. During the evening he seemed quite indisposed to reply to questions put to him, and my fears were greatly confirmed, which I hail expressed to him in the morning of the previous day, that his symptoms were not those of simpie diarrhea, but of typhoid fever. Late in the evening of this day (Saturday) lie got out of in bearing them to their last resting place near the spot where our brother and sister Doanc once buried their little Georgie. The mission families at Ebon we found in their usual health, except Aea, who, at the suggestion of Mr. Snow in a letter, joined the vessel for the purpose of recruiting at Kusaie. Jalnij. On the 4th of September we sailed for Juluij, but in getting under way had the misfortune to part our chain and lose our anchor, the bottom being a foul one, and the buoy being carried under by the current. In the forenoon of Friday, the 6th, we anchored in the lagoon of Jaluij near the mission station. We found Kapali and his wife quite ready to see the Morning Star. Their means of sustenance were somewhat limited. Tamara's health was by no means good. We attended their Friday evening prayer meeting, nnd a school examination early the next morning. The pupils however were few, owing doubtless in great part to the isolation of the spot which had been chosen as a missionary station. Want of wind prevented us from sailing thnt day, and we remained until the next Monday morning. Some eighty natives assembled for worship on Sunday morning, being probably the greater portion resident on the neighboring islets. The station does not seem well located with reference to nearness to the most populous portions of this great though not thickly inhabited island. A good work has been commenced, and we found no disposition on the part of Kapali to abandon it. Perhaps the location, all things considered, is the best for working the whole island. Xamrrik. On onr way to Namerik we made a detour to Ebon for the sake of recovering, if possible, the lost anchor, which lay in some ten fathoms of water. After two days of labor, and a final parting of four parts of a large rope, passed by the aid of divers under the chain, they not feeling able to reach the anchor, we gave up the attempt and sailed for Namerik, which we reached Saturday morning, September 14th. We found our brother and sister Kaelemakule and wife in cjmfortable health, and were welcomed on shore by a large number of pupils, many of ..liom were ready, with donations of fowls, to assist the Morning Star. We sailed the same day for Kusaie. purposing an examination of Kaelemakule's flourishing school on the return of the Morning Star from the his benh, an upper one, unassistt 1, for a few moments ; and still later, sat up for a moment in his berth.

Several of ihein assisted of Ron Kiti harbor, Ponape, on the afternoon ' 21 of th 25th,but did not succeed in enterinS till the next day. Mr. Snow and family, however, with others, landed before dark, being met by brethren Sturges and Doane, Mr. Sturges returning with his daughter Hattic to tbe shore, and Mr. Doane continuing on lo welcome those of us who remained on the vessel. We reached our anchorage in safety the next morning, it being just ten years to a day since the old Morning Star first anchored in one of the harbors of Ponape. Here we remained eight days, being wind-bound one day. The American missionaries, after an interim of five years, were permitted to hold another general meeting. Having taken on board Mr. Doane's effects, and also himself, wife and son, Mrs. Sturges Snd two children, we sailed for the Poitik harbor on the north side of the island. Mr. Sturges, accompanied by Mr. Snow, went by canoe. We came to an anchorage, such as it was, on the 6th of October. Two days later the wind favored,and we moved farther up the harbor to a more convenient anchorage. Visit from a Christian High Thief. The same dny we were visited by Hezekiah, the Uajai of the Meterlanim tribe, and his people, who brought with them expressions of their love and interest in the form of yams and sugar-cane,bananas, pigs and fowls. After inspecting portions of the vessel they assembled on top of the after house, where the Uajai spoke some words of welcome, and the people sang some of the songs of Zion. We could not but look upon the occasion as a hopeful sign for Ponape; and so also#pon that of the dedication of a church at Ova on the north-east side of the island, on October 10th, at nn out-station where Mr. Sturges and family spent several months of the last year. On Sunday morning our eyes were greeted with the largest congregation which it had been our privilege to see in Micronesia. About four hundred people were present, who gave good attention during the entire service. Prayer meetings were well attended ; and at a prayer meeting of the native brethren several of the chiefs took part. The church is conveniently located near Mr. Doane's new house, and easily accessible at almost any state of the tide. The new mission premises seem to be well chosen. Surely brother Doane has a wide door of usefulness open before him. The general meeting of the American missionaries adjourned Tuesday afternoon to meet at Ebon in 1868, if the Lord will. Ketorn to Knsxie. The Morning Star put to sea on tbe evening of the 16th, and came to anchor near the mission station in the weather harbor of Kusaie on ihe morning of the 21st. Iledieation of* Stone fhareh. The dedication of the new stone church on the 24th was an occasion of much interest to the people, and the many visitors from the Morning Star will be likely to remember with pleasure the taste displayed in the decorations of the church with flowersand leaves. The audience of some two hundred were well dressed, and every stranger present, as he looked upon tbe walls of solid masonry, and heard the sweet singing, and marked the attentive eyes and listening ears, must have felt that the Gospel had had " free course and been glorified " on this lovely isle of the Pacific. It was with much pleasure that upon �* 22 T H X FRIKMI, the morning of the next Lord's day we sat with some hundred and fifty of these converted heathen (nine of whom were baptized that day), in the same place, at the Lord's table, to commemorate His dying love. On the following day, October 28th, we were to have sailed, but head winds prevented our final departure until Saturday morning, the 2d of November, when, assisted by six native canoes and the King's boat, besides our own two boats, we safely reached the open sea ; though had we been ten minutes later, the head wind which sprung up would have greatly imperiled us, as it did on a former occasion. Brtarn to Kbon. Light winds and calms made our passage to Ebon nine days long. Ftvored by a westerly breeze, on the morning of November 11th we entered the lagoon of Ebon by its only passage, and found safe anchorage for taking on board some two hundred and th.rty barrels of cocoanut oil as freight. Wind-bound by the prevalence of westerly winds, we availed ourselves of the opportunity to recover our lost anchor, to the fluke of which a native diver succeeded in making fast a large rope, at the depth of ten fathoms. The Sabbath services at the mission station were well attended. The Sabbath-school seemed in a flourishing condition ; and the amount of oil liken on board the Morning Star from the sale of books and contributions at the monthly concerts showed an interest in Biblical instruction, and a desire to impart it tcastthers, which were very gratifying. A donation of about fifty fowls for the benefit of the Morning Star was thankfully received. On Friday afternoon, November 22d, Mr. Snow brought off some fifty-two of the Christian party in his new boat to visit the Morning Star. The next day the wind enabled us to put to sea. Retirn to Namerik. In We reached Namerik on Monday, the 25th. attempting to land, a party of us were upset in the surf. Mrs. Bingham escaped without injury, but I received a severe blow on the head either from an oar or the gunwale of the boat. Our Heavenly Father graciously preserved us from serious accident. Our thorough soaking did not entirely prevent us from attending the examination of Kaelemakule's school. The fluency of many of them in reading showed much drill. They were examined in Bible questions, arithmetic and geography. The progress made at this island during the short residence of missionaries is very cheering, and should stimulate our Hawaiian young men to engage in the blessed work of preaching the Gospel to every creature. The coming on of night, and light winds and strong currents made it desirable that we should reach the vessel in a single boat-load, but the heavy surf rendered it almost impossible for a full load to get through in safety. And so, while some of us whitefaced ones, Mr. Snow, Mrs. Bingham and myself, found it necessary to abide by the boat, our Hawaiian brethren and sisters, Aea, Aumai, Mauli, Kaelemakule and KaumeaUani, plunged through the dashing waves to join us beyond where they lifted their heads to thunder in white foam upon the reef. MARCH, 1808. same day the Marshall Island mission organized, Kapali being chosen Moderatar, and Kaelemnkule Scribe. The mission voted to approve of the return of Aea and his family to the Sandwich Islands by the present trip of the Morning Star, for the benefit of his own health and that of one of his children. It was also voted that Kapali and his wife remove for the present year to Ebon to assist Mr. Snow in the place of Aea, with the expectation that they return to Jaluij next year. To expedite the cruise of the Morning Star, in the afternoon of the same day the mission voted to adjourn their sessions to Ebon, for the discussion of minor points which remained. These did not seem to be such as to require the presence of your surviving delegate ; and so, landing passengers for Ebon on the afternoon of Saturday, November MOth, the Morning Star sailed the same evening for the Gilbert Islands. Return to Ipalans. The next Saturday afternoon we came to anchor in the lagoon of Apaiang under the mission premises. On the following Sabbath one man and two women of Apaiang and a young man who had been living with Kanoa on Kusaie were baptized and received to the church of Apaiang by Kapu. Two native couples were married, one by Kapu and one by Kanoa, both of the latter couple having once lived in Kanoa s family when resident on Apaiang. On Monday Kapu went by boat to Tarawa to call Mahoe and Haina. A donation to the Morning Star from the Christian party was made the same day, consisting of one pig, chickens, cocoanuts and one pandanus fruit. The donation, it is true, was small in comparison with those received at other islands, but when we remember that it was from Apaiang, we may certainly rejoice in it as a hopeful indication. Our Tarawan brethren reached us about noon the next day, having left Tapiang Monday evening, and beat against a head wind all night. In the afternoon of the same day the Morning Star was visited by a portion of the Christian party. Owing to work on sails, we did not leave Apaiang until Thursday, and then, escorting Mahoe and Haina to the north end of Tarawa, we left them to the house would afford accommodation for the Tarawan brethren when passing through this village on their tours round the island. The present interesting state of things on Tarawa made some misgivings in my mind about the removal of Mahoe ; but as Aumai had not been sufficiently benefited by his trip to the westward to make it well for him to remain on Apaiang, it seemed best on the whole for Mahoe to take charge of the Apaiang station until the next general meeting, especially as Haina felt able to carry on the work at Tapiang and vicinity. Retnrn to Botarltarl. On Saturday morning, December 14th, we reached our anchorage in the lagoon of Butaritari, and found nothing to hinder the landing of Kanoa and Maka and their families that same day. The King and his brother were however absent at the most western islet. Kanoa and Maka found everything safe in their houses, except that a barrel of hard bread belonging to Kanoa had been consumed by the worms,and a garment which had fallen on his floor had rotted. Sabbath morning an audience of about eighty assembled in the chapel, and gave good attention. 1 was much gratified with the fluency with which some of the men read in the Sabbath- school. On Monday morning Na Teitei, the brother of the King, visited the Morning Star with a message from the King for Kamehameha respecting the massacre. This I put upon paper for him, to which he was able to sign his name. The substance of it was that the King and another brother had slain the Hawaiians when intoxicated, and thnt tho King had been stirred up to the deed by Joseph ; that a cousin of the King's had been insulted when on board the Pfeil by the Captaig's throwing a cocoanut shell at him ; that this had angered the King; but had he not been drunk, he would not have committed murder. We were ready for sea on Monday afternoon, but we had not sufficient wind to get under way until the next morning. By this delay we learned the interesting fact that a number of the people came to Kanoa's house that Monday evening, eager for instruction. Among them was Na Teitei. Little Hattie Kanoa, who had been (ill quite a number of days with fever, showed no signs of improvement up to the time of complete their voyage with a fair wind, in their new boat, nicely painted and well-rigged by themselves. The tidings which they brought Irom Tarawa were not a little cheer- sailing. The passage to Ebon of some two huning.

It raged violently for several days. The precise locality, as near as could be ascertained, was 169° 25' west longitude, and 14° 15' south latitude. Smoke, ashes, mud and water were thrown up many hundred feet into the air. What was remarkable, although the Samoa or Navigators' Islands are volcanic, yei no volcanoes have been active for many ages, but on this occasion so violent was the action, that fish Hnd sea monsters were killed and thrown upon the neighboring islands. Some of the monsters were six and eight feet long, such as were never seen before by the natives. The Key. Dr. Turner, of Upolu, thus writes MARCH, IMiS.

APRIL I. 1808. Newspaperial Gossip. Among our exchanges we notice great improvements in the style and character of several. For example, the Pacific, of San Francisco, is greatly enlarged and improved. It is a live paper, aggressive and spirited. Somebody connected with the concern uses the scissors to good purpose, while the original matter is terse, pointed and direct. The Boston Congregationalist and Recorder is the best specimen of Puritanism that floats in this direction. It is beautifully printed, and very readable. The reader is not compelled to look twice before he can discern the words. The New York Independent is very independent, and a little waspish ; but for vigor, life, out-spokenism, and many good qualities, and an occasional one not quite so good, we are free to confess that it is a very prince of newspapers. No man will go to sleep while reading the Independent. Here comes the Advance, published in Chicago, and at one bold step it has advanced to the front rank of religious newspapers. The editors and writers for this paper believe in Chicago as a city, and the " great valley " as the future home of unborn millions. When we read I (Dm Series, »Bl._25. APRIL 1. 18C8. tlie Advance, we are actually compelled to We feel as if upon a railroad car, going at the rate of the fastest express train. If a man wishes to get thoroughly waked up, we advise him to subscribe for the Advance. The New York Observer comes cool, calm and collected, venerable and sedate. We have read the Observer ever since subscribing for it when a sophomore in Amherst College in 1833. We take up the Observer whenever, in the language of the Psalmist, we would '■ walk about Zion, and go round about her." The Observer is a real observer, ever looking about with candor and sobriety, ever dignified, and sometimes a little fussy. The British Independent, published in London, has recently been received.

Some of the seamen attached to the British vessels of war recently visiting Honolulu, have been constant attendants at the Bethel religious and temperance meetings. One of them, when leaving, thus writes the colporteur : "lam sorry to inform you that we have received orders to leave. I wish to ask of you a favor before I leave ; it is, that you will send me a few tracts and -two volumes of the Friend, and any other books to employ the mind.

Two races unite to pay a grateful tribute of respect to the departed patriarch of a mission which has been the best gift of the one race to the other. Forty-eight years ago this very month, on the 31st of March, 1820, the deceased reached the shores of Hawaii with the pioneer missionaries sent out by the American Board to evangelize these then benighted and barbarous islands. This day of his burial is just one month less than forty-eight years from the day when he and the still surviving companion of his earthly pilgrimage (who has cared for him so tenderly during the closing years of his life) were stationed at Kailua, the ancient residence of the Hawaiian kings. And there, for more than forty years, he continued to reside and to labor as the honored pastor of a large and very important parish. The instructor, for a time, of both Kamehameha 11. and Kamehameha 111., his influence upon the conduct and disposition, especially of the latter, must have been very great, at a period in Hawaiian history when it was most important to secure the good will of those highest in authority, and when the word of the king was law and his will was absolute. But, as is ever the case with the faithful minister, his influence was greatest and his usefulness most apparent among the masses of the common people. Never once leaving the Islands for forty years, he was honored of natives and foreigners alike as a faithful, patient, persistent worker, steadfast, and abiding in one stay far beyond the ordinary duration of missionary life. Indeed I know not that in the entire history of missions a like instance is recorded of one remaining so long upon the field and at a single post, during the life time of a whole generation, without revisiting the home of his childhood or visiting any other land. Only when advancing age and repeated strokes of paralysis had rendered him incapable of service ; only when his strong hand lost its cunnine and his tongue had begun to give a doubtful utterance, did he consent to resign �26 THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1868. his pastorate at Kailua that he might spend the closing yenrs of his life in this city. Here how beautiful the evening time of his life. What a privilege to us and to our children to have before us that venerable form and that benignant countenance, a perfect picture of the patriarchs and prophets of olden times not soon effaced from the memory. Infancy with its budding beauty and its. fragrance of a new life is lovely in its gentleness and innocence. Youth with its vigor of ripening ambitions and maturing powers is interesting indeed ; but no sight on earth is more impressive than a beautiful old age. In his case the outward appearance was but the truthful expression ol the inward life ; a calm and undisturbed repose of faith; a rest in Jesus which knew no solicitude ; a sublime quietude of soul which felt no fear. The hoary head is indeed a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. But he died not of old age. With marvelous physical powers, perhaps unsurpassed in his day by those of any other resident upon these Islands, whether native or foreigner, he might but for the attacks of disease, have survived n century. The brain and nervous system were first to give way, beforehis hearing was impaired, his eye became dim, or his natural force abated. That well compacted and well proportioned frame seemed too strong to be torn down even when the mind had ceased to maintain a logical succession of thoughts, and his conversation, a strange mixture of Hawaiian, English and Latin, had for the most part ceased to be coherent. Those of us who were permitted to visit him near the close of life cannot soon forget those more lucid intervals when for a little the soul reasserted its power over the tongue, nnd with indescribable pathos and earnestness he exclaimed, " My love for Jesus is very great." Nor can I soon forget that responsive smile with which he gave assent to what was said of the preciousness of Christ to the believer's soul, when his tongue could no longer give utterance to his thoughts, and his eyes were already glassy with the film of death. Governed by principle, and not by impulse, in his habits of devotion, he persisted in leading at family prayers as a priest in his own household, till he could no longer frame sentences correctly ; and after that to the last day of his life, nothing made him more restless and uneasy than the omission of the Tegular family devotions at the appointed hour, nor did anything soothe and comfort him so much as prayer. Though remarkably taciturn all through life, yet he was hardly less remarkable for a quiet humor which was kept in subjection to his Christian dignity, while it did much to make him agreeable in social life, and to make him buoyant in spirit under all the trials of missionary labor. And this cheerful temper and Christian mirthfulness characterized him to the last. No pleasantry was lost upon him even when his memory of the past became a blank, and he could not recognize his family or his friends. His peculiarly rich and well trained voice, even when age had somewhat shattered it, gave forth at times such tones as made it a feast of melody to my ear to have him seated for yean close at my right hand in the sane- tuary. Neither the choir nor the congregation were ever disturbed by his singing out of time or out of tune, while the general effect of congregational singing was greatly improved by that remarkable voice of manly power, yet of womanly sweetness, to which we shall listen, in the service of song, never more. Alas, one more praying voice is silenced, one more loving heart is cold, one more tongue so eloquent in praise is still. But though the organs of utterance fail to communicate his thoughts and feelings to mortal ears, who can tell the highet blessedness of that intimate communion he holds with Him who planted the ear and who knows our thoughts before we utter them. That powerful frame, that manly form, is shut up within the narrow house of Death, but his freed spirit is not holden of his dominion. The weary body rests, but the soul has entered upon a career of higher and holier activity. That hoary head shall soon be a buried" crown : but how far are its beauty and excellence transcended by that crown of glory which he wears who' already reigns with Christ, consecrated a king and a priest unto God. And there are stars in that crown. How mmiy already garnered in glory, while ascribing all the honor to Christ, the sin atoning Lamb, have occasion to welcome him with peculiar joy as, under Christ, the faithful shepherd and bishop of their souls. What a debt of gratitude do the vast congregation worshiping in this sanctuary owe to the God of all grace for the services of the departed. Their beloved pastor, whose absence to-day is so much regretted, could speak eloquently to his people of his personal indebtedness to him whom he greatly honored and tenderly loved as a spiritual father. For it was to the blessing of God upon a sermon preached by Father Thurston that he ascribed that personal interest in religion which resulted in his conversion. So is the life of the deceased reproduced not only in the missionary life of his own son laboring upon another island of this group, nor yet alone in thelives of many natives still living who mourn for him as for a father, but with redoubled power and energy is it reproduced in the ministry of hiin who now occupies a central position of influence as pastor of the great congregation accustomed to worship here. The materials are wanting for a complete record of the life of the deceased, but his record is on high. And what a life as it is recorded there, ansfcas God and angels contemplate it. What a life of honor and usefulness as even we are permitted to see it. What an encouragement to the pioneers of Christian missions who go forth to the waste places of the earth to plant the standard of the cross among the barbarous tribes, the thought that they too may be permitted to witness the fruit of their toil in a renovated nation, in a converted people, in a heathen tribe liberated and lifted up by the power of the gospel. What a life devoted to the temporal and eternal well being of thousands upon thousands who have lived and died under his honored ministry. What a life, compassing in its span the entire history of Christian civilization in these islands of the sea. Yet what is this to that unending life of glory and blessedness upon which he has entered. The days of the years of his pilgrim- age have been four score years; but that heavenly life is measured by larger cycles, and its successive periods shall be made more and more illustrious by yet higher joys and more distinguished services. Heaven is not mere reception of knowledge and absorption of bliss; it is holiness in action. There is fullness of joy, because perfection of love. There are pleasures forevermore, because spiritual employments in which the soul can never grow weary. With renewed zeal and untiring patience let us labor, that we too may see the fruit of our toil, and win at least the welcome plaudit, " Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." For Ihe Friend. MY CHART. Navigating the ocean of life, exposed to storms, and tempests, and adverse currents; in constant danger from shoals, and sunken rocks, and breakers, and maelstroms, I am in great need of a good chart, and reliable sailing directions. Some tell me that such are found in the Bible. I watch those who observe the sailing directions in the Bible, and I see that they are wonderfully free from disasters from foundering in mid-ocean, from drifting upon sunken rocks and shoals, or driving upon reefs and rooks, or being sucked down by maelstroms. 1 watch them as long as possible, and when they have reached the earthly horizon, and are just ready to disappear beyond, there often seems a strange light arounH them as if from a brighter world, and their sigtmls indicate exultant expectation as though they were looking into their desired haven, and were about to enter, without the least anxiety,—with : joyous anticipations. I watch those who neglect the Bible and follow some other chart, and I see some go down in darkness and storm soon after beginning their voyage. Some have drifted into the gulf of Intemperance, from which no current sets, no winds blow to favor (heir getting out. And much of the time this gulf is covered with fog, which stupefies the senses and turns the brain, and causes recklessness of danger. Besides, vessels sailing in this gulf are soon covered with barnacles, and the lower timbers decay, and the rigging and sails show signs of being weak or worn. Thus speedily becoming unseaworthy, what else is to be expected than that they should sink and be seen no more? More dangerous than Scylla and Charybdis of olden time, are certain low lands inhabited by her whose house is the way to hell. All along the coast of her dominions are sunken rocks, towards which the winds ever blow, and the current ever sets. And far out to sea are borne her songs, more fascinating than were those of the sirens, against which Ulysses took such precautions. In the chart of the Bible these dangers are plainly pointed out, and the navigator is warned to be on his guard. But many a heedless, infatuated youth, neglecting his chart, has run on to these rocks and been lost. But some endeavor to destroy my confidence in my chart, by telling me of contradictions, and of differences in different copies. And what if five hundred is mentioned as the number of inhabitants of a certain island in one copy of the chart, and seven hundred in �another ? Some transcriber may have made a mistake. But what have such discrepances to do with the reliability of the chart, so long as the correct latitude and longitude of the island are given?—so long as 1 see those who trust to it going on prosperously, avoiding rocks, and shoals, and dangerous currents, and the signals of those who would entice to destruction ? No, my confidence in my chart is becoming stronger every year, and I intend to use it, and to be guided by it, until a better is offered. And I would say to fellow navigators, " Mind this, the best, the only trustworthy chart. Look out for the breakers of which it warns you. Avoid the dangerous quick-sands, and reefs, and straits, and rooks, and currents which it points out. Beware of the signals of those who wish to have you run on 10 the rocks." Nauta. Religious Toleration in Polynesia. Some years ago the missionaries of the London Missionary Society were grossly interfered with and interrupted in their labors at the Loyalty Islands by the Catholic priests, supported by French vessels of war. A representation of the facts was made direct to the French Government at Paris, when the following Imperial letter was issued : " Gentlemen :—1 have received the complaints which you have addressed to me relative to the recent proceedings ol the Governor of New Caledonia in the Loyalty Islands. I have caused a letter to be written to Commandant Guillain, condemning any measure which might impede the free exercise of your ministry in those distant countries. 1 am certain that, far from raising difficulties in the way of the representatives of the French authority, the Protestant missions, like the Catholic, will aid it in spreading amongst the aborigines of that archipelago the benefits of Christianity and civilization. of my " Receive, gentlemen, the assurance Napoleon." distinguished sentiments. " Tuileries, Jan. 24, 1865.'' So far as facts have come to our knowledge, this decided measure on the part of the Emperor had the desired effect. We are inclined to think that the moral impression of that letter is now felt in other groups. We received a letter a few days since from Mr. Thomas Lawson, an Englishman long resident at the Marquesas Islands. We copy as follows : Marquesas Islands, " Uauna, February 8, 1868. ) \ laws now at Nukahiva are salutary and strictly enforced, and the natives are afraid to break them. The Catholic mission is going to put Sisters of Charity at Hatiheu, but the Governor forbids the mission using any kind of force to make the natives come to their meetings, for, says he, all religions are free, with the exception of criminal ceremonies, and human victims must not be offered. The present new President will not give permits to the natives to buy liquors. The whites can buy as much as they like so long as they behave themselves, but they are not allowed to give away liquors to the natives, nor sell any to a stranger under a heavy penalty." ."

Asa Tuurston.—Another of the American Pioneer Missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands has passed away. The Rev. Asa Tiii'H.«ton was born in Fitohburgh, Mass., Oct. ]2th, 1787,and died in Honolulu, March 11th, 1868, at the advanced age of 80 years. He graduated at Vale College, in New Haven, in 1816, and at Andover Theological Seminary, in 1810. Among his class-mates at Andover, were his Associate, the Rev. H. Bingham; the Rev. Cyrus Byington, missionary to the Choctaw Indians; the Rev. Dr. King, missionary to Athens, Greece; the ltev. Dr. Orvi'.le Dewey, and several others who have become distinguished for their talents as divines ami scholars. Soon after leaving the Seminary, he was married to Miss Lucy Qoodale, of Marlborough, Mass., who has ever been his faithful wife and companion in all the toils, labors and privations of missionary life. They embarked at Boston, Oct. 23d, 1819, with their missionary associates, on board the brig Thaideut, Capt. Blancbard. Itcfore sailing, Mr. Thurston made a farewell address in Park Street Church. The vessel reached tiie islands March 30, 1820, and Mr. and Mrs. Thurston were assigned to the station at Kailua, Hawaii, the old residence of the kings of the Islands. There they resided for more than forty years, until, through infirmities of age, they removed to Honolulu. Here he has spent the few closing years of an eventful life, respected and esteemed, honored and beloved. As a missionary of the American Board of Missions, he haa ever labored with great usefulness and success. His knowledge of the native language and character was most thorough. As a preacher, he was ever much beloved by the native Hawaiians, as he spoke their language with great purity and idiomatic accuracy. In the early years of tho mission, his labors as a translator were arduous and successful In this great work, he was associated with Bingham, Richards, Bishop, Green, Andrews, Dibble and others. It fell to his lot to translate parts of Genesis, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and the whole of Samuel, 2d of Kings, and some other parts of the Bible. His funeral was attended on Thursday last, by both Hawaiians and foreigners, from the Ist Church in Honolulu. The following was the order of exercises: Prayer, in Hawaiian, by Rev. L. Smith; Address, iv English, by Rev. E. Corwin; Address, in Hawaiian, by Rev. L. H. Gulick; Prayer, in English, by Rev. 8. C. Damon; Benediction, by ltev. 11. Bingham, jr. The absence of the Rev. Mr. Parker, Pastor of the Church, was much regretted. If opuce would aUow, it would be easy to indulge in a train of remark, contrasting the present witli the post. When our departed Father in the Ministry arrived, all was one wide moral heathen waste. Idolatry was abolished, but the work of reducing the language to a written form, and the endless toil of a missionary's life, was to be entered upon. Now, how changed the moral aspect ! The deceased leaves a widow and three children and numerous grand children to ruouru his loss.

We think our readers will be interested in the lollowing paragraphs from a letter which we recently received from the Rev. W. G. Lawes, a missionary on this island. He is laboring under the patronage of the London Missionary Society. The letter bears date Dec. 2d, 1567: " You may be glad to know a little about our work here. I shall be very happy to give you information, and so enlist your sympathy and prayers on our behalf. been here now six years. By " Weyouhave must understand my wife and we' ' self, for no other European Missionary has ever resided here. The Island stands alone, about equi-distant from Samoa, Rarotonga, and Tonga. It belongs to no group—least of all to the Loyalty Group, with which it is often classed, but with which it has not the slightest connection or communication. We are very isolated. We havre no direct communication with any neighboring island. A schooner comes about three times a year from Samoa, but it is uncertain and irregular. A vessel from Tahiti or Rarotonga may occasionally call, but their visits are rare. Whalers used to call here for supplies, but only two have been here this year. Samoan teachers had preceded us here, so that when we landed we found the ground prepared. All had embraced Christianity, and were eagerly waiting for a Missionary. From that time until now our work has made steady progress. We have some 1100 in church fellowship. I have an institution for our own native teachers, in which twelve young men are being trained for future usefulness. The language of the people is a different dialect to the Samoan and Tongan; it is a mixture of the two. A distinct translation of the scriptures is necessary. I have been enabled to finish the translation of the New Testament, and it is now on its way to us from Sydney. If I receive them before I send this, will forward you a copy. "I am now on the Psalms.

Kekel* is translating Genesis, and Kauwealoha has composed an almanac, and is translating Matthew." A Noble Mabqukxan Mothkb —The story of the seizure of Mr. Whalon, first officer of tiic whaleship Congrtsi, some three or four years ago at Hivaoa, will be remembered by our readers, and his rescue by Kekela, Kaukau and others, as also how President Lincoln sent out five hundred dollars to be expended in rewards to those who saved Mr. Whalon's life. An incident in tho rescue, which we have but recently learned, ought to be made public. There was a young Marqitcsan Chief, who hail been seized by a Peruvian cruiser and sent to the Chinchas as a laborer. His wile had a little child born soon after the abduction of the Chief; and when Mr. Whalon was seized, Ixmnd hand and fool, ready for the oven wlach was being heated to cook him, she. moved with pity for the fate of the poor sailor, took her darling and only child and placed it in his lap. According to tho Marquesan usage, this protects the criminal or person under arrest, so long as it is continued. The higher the rank of the mother, the more sacred tho protection. When the Hawaiian missionaries arrived, they urged the mother to continue to protect Mr. Whalon in this way until they could negotiate a ranHad it not been som with the Chief who held him. for this brave and noble woman, he would have been murdered and cooked by the savage natives before any relief arrived. Rev. A. Kaukau, one of the missionaries who saved Mr. Whalon's life, is now living on Kauai, and is anxious that some testimonial be sent to this Chicfess, whose conduct has never been rewarded, while others who were less worthy, have received valuable presents. He has contributed some presents out of his smallannual salary, to be forwarded by the Morning Star," and if any persons wish to add to them, we will see that they are forwarded. Any articles of clothing, blankets, knives, axes, or such like are prized by the Marquesans, and the influence of such a reward for this noble act would be felt throughout that group.—idv. " Bible Translation.—We have recently received letters from the Marquesas and other South Sea islands, and also from Japan, in all of which there are references to Bible translations. It is exceedingly gratifying to learn from missionary periodicals, newspapers and letters that this noble work is going rapidly forward in all parts of the world. This is a Protestant enterprise. Catholic missionaries never translate the Bible into a heathen language. All the translations into the Polynesian dialects have been done by Protestant missionaries. The Bible has been translated in full in the Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, Tongan and Fijian dialect", and in part into several other dialects. Photographs of the Officers of H. B. .M.'s Ship Clio. —We are indebted to a friend on board the Clio for one of the best specimens of the photographic art which we have ever seen. The likeness of the commander occupies the centre, and it is surrounded by two circles of photographs, including those of all the officers of the ship. It was executed in Lima, Peru, where we learn the photographic art has been brought to the highest perfection, as much so as in any other part of tbe world.

But I see a smile of gladness.

Trace God's mysteries as they are; Editorial Remarks.—We are unacquainted with the opinions of the author of this poetical effusion respecting the retributions of another state of existence, but the ninth stanza would appear to indicate that there will be no punishment for sin after death. Perhaps he has merely written with a poet's license, when employing the terms, names and epithets of Grecian or Roman mythology. If the writer, however, has dreamed out any such theory as that of universal salvation, we are confident that between his dream and the reality, as shadowed forth in Scripture, there is as wide " a gulf fixed " as was apparent to our Saviour's view when he discoursed of the rich man and Lararus, as recorded in the sixteenth chapter of Luke. Byron once wrote, " 1 had a dream, which w«» not nil a dream." The Harpers.—This great book firm was founded in 1816 by James and John Harper. Wesley Harper came in in 1822,and Fletcher Harper in 1826, since which the firm has stood as it stands now. It is not often that four brothers can be united so long, with no break in the rank by death or other causes. Hon. James Harper—honorable because once the Mayor—is about seventy-three years of age, and there is no youth about the establishment more active than he. He delights in a good story, a good listener, a good joke, and no one can discover a reason why he shouldn't live twenty years yet. Mr. John Harper is about seventy, but not so robust in health as James. He is the negative element in the firm, and co.nmonly wields the veto power. Mr. Wesley Harper is gentlemanly and cordial, comforting a disappointed author and encouraging a promising one with equal suavity. Mr. Fletcher Harper is the active, aggressive spirit of the firm, but with ;t vaulting ambition that never o'erleaps itself. It is his spirit that animates and directs the "Monthly," " Weekly," and "Bazar." Besides the four members of the firm there arc numerous sons, making a dozen in all. The Harpers resemble English firms in the tenacity with which their employees cling to them. There is one gray-headed octogenarian who has been in their employ fifty years. The foreman of their composing room has been with them forty years; the foreman of the press room thirty-five years ; and there arc women in the folding rooms who have been with them thirty years. Their cashier has alsobeen in their employ thirty-live years. Western Sciences in China.—The imperial government of China, under the advice of Mr. Hart, an Englishman who has acquired great influence in their councils, have ordered the establishment of a university in Pekin, in which European professors are to teach the arts and sciences of the West. This remarkable innovation upon the rigid exclusiveness that has always characterized the Chinese nation, has aroused great prejudice and bigoted opposition. One of the oldest and most influential of the cabinet ministers led the opposition to the employment of foreign teachers, on the ground that native scholars could be found competent to teach all that was necessary. The enlightened emperor disposed of his hostile objections by ordering him to find such teachers, and to open another school for the teaching of science, that through the generous rivalry between the two institutions their relative merits might be seen. The minister was obliged to confess that he knew of no one in the empire capable of giving instruction in astronomy and mathematics. Five professors have been appointed to give instruction in English and French, chemistry, astronomy, and military science ; 825,000 have been appropriated for an astronomical observatory, and $7,500 for a scientific library. If the Bible is true, punishment for sin hereafter will be " not all a dream," but a terrible There will be no Christian but what reality. We know of no other way of eshave a Gethsemane, but every praying will cape for the guilty sinner but through Christ's Christian will find that there is no Gethseatoning blood. Read John 3:16, 17. mane without an angel. for " The religion that is always searching a hope," is a hopeless religion, cannot He who is at war with his neighbor, be at peace with himself. �I HI KKIKM), 31 APRIL, 18 18.

Hence arises mistakes, sometimespleasant, anil sometimes unpleasant. For example Bey. Dr. RI married a sailor, who, as he was leaving the house, put a coin into his hand. It proved to be an old-fashioned copper cent. The Doctor thought it was rather queer, and an exception to the proverbial generosity of seamen, but soon dismissed the subject irom his mind. Three years elapsed, when the door hell rung one morning, and the identical sailor appeared with a chest of tea, a btg of coffee, and some tropical fruits—worth in the You roaggregate about twenty dollars. iiH'inber marrying me," said he; "and you remember that you then prayed that Betsey would make me a good .wife. I knew not whether your prayer would be heard, or whether I had or had not made a good bargain. But it was heard Betsey is a first rate girl; has been true to me ; and now returning from a long and prosperous voyage, I have brought the marriage fee, which 1 which the Doctor want you to accept; failed not to do, with hearty thanks to the : " ; " giver. Words of Experience.—Dr. Colleneth, a celebrated German physician, says: "For twenty-one years I have banished all intoxicants from my practice, and during that period I have not made fewer than 18,000 medical visits, and I hesitate not to say that the recoveries have been more numerous and more rapid than they were during the five years 1 followed the usual practice, and administered brandy, wine and beer." Dr. Chandler, of St. Albans, Vt., states: "I have never known an instance of recovery form hubitual drunkenness except by total abstinence at once from all intoxicating beverages, and in a professional practice exceeding hall a century, I have never known death, or disaster of any sort to follow, as the result of such treatment; and I have never known an instance of ultimate prosperity in business in any young man who commenced with indulgence in alcoholic convivialities " Mr. Thomas Clark will find a letter lling at the Editor's office, at Sailors' c.

The month of April, IS6B, will long be remembered as memorable for a succession of earthquakes, and eruptions, such as have never before been experienced on theseIslands since their discovery. Tradition reports no convulsions to equal them in magnitude or extent. By glancing at the above map the reader will readily perceive the principal locality of these convulsions. The Districts of Kau and Puna, on Hawaii, have been the most aflected, although the whole Island has been shaken. The earthquakes commenced 33 i (01b Serifs, Hoi.

Nkw Hook. -Tui Siiknanihiaii ; on tiik Last Coxfkdkkatk Ckciskk. By Cfinii'liiis E. Hunt |MH of tbu OdIcith.) N'ew. York: (i. W. Carletun & Co., Publishers. London : S. Low. Son <fc Co. This book merits a notice in our columns, for when the piratical craft was cruising in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans burning whaleships, among the prizes enptured on board one of the ill-fated vessels was a bound volume of the Friend, which the officers of the Shenandoah exceedingly prized, for it gave them so much reliable information respecting whaleships. This book affords a brief sketch of the cruise of this vessel in her voynge of circumnavigation around the glolie. The Sea King sailed from London on thp 7th of October, 1864, having been cleared for Bombay. She was followed by the Confederate steamer Ijaurel, flying the English flag. The latter vessel brought away the future officers of the Shenandoah, so named when the name Sea King was " rubbed out." It is not our design to detail the full cruise of this noted vessel, but copy a few pages relating to her visit to the Arctic Ocean. She captured and burnt numerous vessels in the Atlantic before sailing around in the Pacific by the way of the Cape of Good Hope. On her passage out she touched at Melbourne, where the officers enjoyed themselves exceedingly, the people ot Melbourne wore so very, very kind and hospitable. This was particularly true of the ladies of Melbourne. The writer of this volume expresses the opinion that he did not "suppose so much hospitality ever was or ever will be shown to another ship in that port." Words fail to express the tender emotions which were mutually expressed by the Melbourne people and the officers of the Shenandoah. Thousands of the inhabitants flocked from the country to see the ship. One Sunday seven thousand came by railroad from the surrounding regions. The officers of the Shenandoah felt perfectly at home and among their friends while at Melbourne. After leaving that port she directed her course to the Arctic Ocean, via Ascension. At the latter place she made thorough work among the American whaleships, including the Harvest under Hawaiian colors. The following extracts will describe her cruise in the Arctic : On the 22d of June we sighted two ships, and steamed after the nearest, which was trying out oil, as we knew by the quantity of smoke, though she was at a considerable distance. On nearing her, an officer and a prize crew went on board and brought off the captain and mates, from whom we learned that our prize was the William Thompson, belonging to New Bedford, and the largest whaling ship in the fleet. Lenving the officer and prize crew in charge, we steamed after the other, and when near enough, showed the English flag, which she answered by hoisting the Stars and Stripes. We ran close alongside of her, sent an officer und prize crew on board with orders to bring off her company at once, and set the prize on fire, which was done. This was the ship Euphrates, and was also owned in New Bedford. Her crew came off" to us in her own boats. About seven o'clock P. M. we spoke the English whaler Hubert Towns, of Sydney, Australia, and she was the only English vessel we saw bound for the Arctic. We then turned round and ■teamed back toward the William Thompson, passing on the way the Euphrates, now one sheet of flame fore and aft. We remained in the vicinity of the first-named vessel until halfpast three the following morning, when that also was set on fire, and we steamed away to the northward in search of more Yankees. The weather was excessively uncomfortable ; heavy fogs were frequent, and flurries of snow not uncommon, and ttie quantity of floating ice we encountered somewhat impeded our progress, if it did not place us in * actual peril. * * * * The first that fell into our hands was the ship Mil), of New Bedford, a staunch, but slow-sailing craft, evidently built expressly for this hazardous cruising, and was well prepared to resist the drifting ice so constantly encountered in these seas. She had on board several barrels of oil, but had only just commenced whaling in eurnest. The captain was a fine looking old veteran, standing over six feet two, and straight ns an arrow. He came over the side with all the dignity of an ndmiral, and handed his papers to the first lieutenant, who politely escorted him to the captain's cabin. After a brief conversation, Captain Wnddell proposed to ransom the Milo for forty thousand dollars, on condition of herenptain's agreeing to take what prisoners we then hnd on hand, and might capture in that vicinity, to San Francisco. He accepted the proposal readily, highly gratified, I have no doubt, at being able to save his vessel upon any terms, and the requisite bond was drawn whereby he bound his owners to pay the neat sum of forty thousand dollars at the close of the war. I should be extremely unwilling to acquire the character o( a dun, but 1 shall be pardoned, I trust, for reminding the parties interested that this and a number of similar vouchers taken by us during our cruise, have not yet been paid, and if they ever intend to take up these obligations, no better time than the present will ever offer. To be sure the war terminated disastrously to our cause, but we are, therefore, so much the more in need of any trifling sums that may be owing us. The above amounts, therefore, may be sent to me, care of my publisher, who is hereby authorized to receipt for the same. When this negotiation was concluded satisfactorily to all parties, the old skipper returned on board his vessel, and dispatched his whaleboats to bring off" the prisoners from the Shenandoah. Several of them warmly shook hands with us at parting, and expressed the hope that we might meet again under different and more pleasing circumstances. It was n sentiment in which we could heartily concur, and I must say that American whalers are officered by some of the noblest, most high-minded and generous men belonging to the great brotherhood of seamen. A kindness they seldom forget,— to a friend their hand is ever open, and an enemy they can look upon as one who might have been a friend, but for some political accident which it is out of theirline of business to examine into very closely. * The writer describes the capture of the Sophia Thornton, Jirek Swift, Milo, Susa7i Abigail, General Williams, W. C. Nye, Catherine, Gypsy, General Pike, Wuverly, and the Favorite. On the 28th of June the Shenandoah fell in with a large numlier of ships. The writer thus describes the day's work : By five o'clock we had made prizes of the whole fleet, ten sail in all. One of them, the James Maury, had lost her captain a short time previous, but his widow with her three little children were still on board. The lady was very much frightened when the boarding officer stepped on deck, and besought him, with tears in her eyes, not to destroy the ship that had been her husband's home so long. As gently as possible he soothed her fears, telling her that no harm should befall her or the ship, through our instrumentality. The James Maury was accordingly ransomed, and her mate was directed to take the vessel to the United States, with as many prisoners as could be conveniently accommodated. Another of the number, the Nile, was also ransomed ns a transport for the remaining prisoners, and when these had received their passengers, the remainder of the captured vessels were set on fire. The following are the names of the vessels raptured that day Ships Hillman, Nassatt, Isaac Ilowland, and Brunswick. Barks Martha 2d, Congress, Wuverly, and James Maury. All these belonged to New Bedford, besides the Nile of New London, and the Favorite of Fair Haven. We hauled off" to a little distance and anchored with a kedge, to watch the mighty conflagration our hands had lighted. It whs a scene never to be forgotten by any one who beheld it. The red glare from the eight burning vessels shone far and wide over the drifting ice of those savage seas; the crackling of the fire as it made its devouring way through each doomed ship, fell on the still air like upbraiding voices. The sea was filled with boats driving hither and thither, with no hand to guide them, and with yards, sails and cordage, remnants of the stupendous ruin there progressing. In the distance, but where the light fellstrongand red upon them, bringing out into bold relief each spar and line, were the two ransomed vessels, the Noah's Arks that were to bear away the human life which in a few hours would be all that was left of the gallant whaling fleet. Imagination nssisted us no doubt, but we fancied we could see the varied expressions of anger, disappointment, fear, or wonder, that marked the faces of the multitude on those decks, as their eyes rested on this last great holocaust; and when, one by one, the burning hulks went hissing and gurgling down into the treacherous bosom of the * : * �ocean, the last act in the bloody drama of the American civil war had been played. Widely different were the arenas that witnessed the opening and concluding scenes. The overture was played by the thunder of artillery beneath the walls of Sumter, with the breath of April fanning the cheeks of those who acted there their parts, while all the world looked on ; the curtain finally fell amid the drifting ice ol the Arctic Seas ; burning vessels formed a pyrotechnic display such as the children of men have seldom lookfd upon, while a grim and silent cruiser, that had, even then, no government nor country, and two weather-beaten whalers, filled with despondent prisoners, were the only audience. From one of these last prizes we obtained the first news from the States we had received for many months. She had San Francisco papers bearing date the 15th of April, and containing intelligence of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The news occasioned a general feeling of astonishment and indignation throughout the S/tenandoah. That one who sympathized with the Southern cause should have deliberately planned nnd executed an act that would" strike with horror every honorable man, whatever his partisan sentiments might be, and thus redound to the discredit of the Government for whose success he professed to be laboring, seemed passing strange. It was even then shadowed forth in the papers we perused so far from the place of their publication, that designing men would endeavor to fasten upon the Southern people at large, and especially upon their leaders, the odium of that hideous crime. That this has since been done, the world is well aware, but only the Southern people know how cruelly unjust is such an accusation. It must be borne in mind that although this was the SJSth of June, we had as yet received no tidings of the cessation of hostilities between the United States and the Confederacy. So far ns we knew, our armies, though repulsed at many points, and sadly depleted in numbers, were still making a gallant stand against the Northern hordes, which eventually overran our unhappy country, bearing down all resistance before them; consequently our hearts were buoyed up with the thought that we were still aiding the great cause to which we had devoted our lives and fortunes. From some source best known to himself, our pilot, Manning, now advanced to the position of Acting Master's Mate, learned that a fleet comprising about sixty sail, had passed up through Behring's Straits into the Arctic Ocean but a short time previous. Of course they were still somewhere in the ice-bound sea, from which there was no exit save the passage by which they bad entered it, and we determined to overhaul them if that was possible. At eleven o'clock P. M., we hove up our kedge nnd once more commenced steaming north, and by ten o'clock on the morning of the 29th we had passed through Behring's Straits, within sight, at the same time, of the extreme frontiers of Asia and North America, and were fairly within the Arctic Circle. It was a desolate prospect that met our view.

After passing around the southern point of the island and over a wide field of rough lava, he conies upon a beautiful region, as be remarks, "much resembling the rocky uplands of New England. The grass land extends five miles, and is then interrupted by the large valley of Waiohinu, where is the only running stream on this side of the island for a hundred miles. This brook rises from several springs not many miles up the mountain, and is clear, cool and never-failing, although small in volume. The Waiohinu valley contains the principal settlement and the mission station of the dis- Visit of His Majesty to Hawaii.—We severest was experienced April 2d, six minwas take the pleasure in noticing the visit of His utes before four o'clock, P.

The explanation of this seems to be, that this part of the island was in ancient times by some great convulsion broken from the mountain side precisely as the portion between the breaks of Haleakala on Maui, the lava flowing on each side of the wedge-shaped fragment. In support of this view, a valley running transversely to the Kau ridges may be cited, which bears evidence of disruption, and which has received and turned many streams of lava from the mountain above." (See pages 32 and 33.) Euitokul Remarks.—We can most vividly recall the journey we made through this remarkable and beautiful region in the summer of 1844. No longer can the geologist remark that it is " exempt from lava streams from the mountain above." Mr. L. E. Swain informs us that from his personal observation, he should infer that the recent lava flow had covered over about 4,000 acres of the most beautiful grass and cane land on the Islands. The depth of the flow is from one to a hundred feet deep. The very best land on that part of the island is nearly all now under this coat of new lava. Directum of the Earthquakes. —Mr. Rexford Hitchcock, of Hilo, informs us that stone walls running due north and south were not so much thtown down und demolished as walls running in the opposite direction.

ThFlow. eMud This remarkable feature of the recent volcanic eruption on Hawaii occurred about midway between Knpapalaand Kaolaala, and line direct between the old crater of Kilauea and Waiohinu. This flow was witnessed by F. S. Lyman, Esq., and is thus described in the following extract from a letter which has already been published in our island papers. From Mr. Holladay, who has visited the region, we learn that a stream of water is now flowing from the orifice or fissure where the mud issued with such terrific violence. Under date of April 10th, Mr. Lyman writes : on a Maile Quarterly.—We are always glad hare this publication laid upon our table. The article entitled "Notes and Items" is richly worth the subscription price. Why does not the Editor publish more of the correspondence of the cousins traveling in foreign lands ? He refers to the letters of Mrs. Ellen Weaver, now traveling in Europe and the Orient. Some of those letters are most life-like and descriptive, as we can testify, having heard them read in manuscript. Their place is in the "Maile," and we can assure Mr. Lyons, the Editor, if he does not to very soon secure copious extracts from those letters, other of his editorial brethren will do it. We have heard paragraphs read from those letters descriptive of Koine, HerculaTuesday night, (March IJlst.) from about ten neum, Pompeii, Venice, Athens, Constantitill two in the morning, the shaking was almost in- nople, which are worthy of the " Atlantic " cessant, and then subsided. Wednesday morning, or " Harper's." (April Ist,) about sunrise, there was a hard shake, and again about live I*. M. there was a severe and protracted shaking with a great deal of swaying to and fro of the earth. Nearly nil that night the shaking was very severe und fi-ccment with a rumbling sound from the south. Thursday, (April lid) between four and five P. M, we experienced the most fearful of earthquakes ! First the earth swayed to nnd fro north and south, then cast nnd west, round mid round, then up and down and in every imaginable direction for several minutes ; everything crashing nround us ; the trees thrashing about us if torn by a mighty rushing wind. It was impossible to stand, we had to sit on_thc ground, bracing with hands and feet to keep from rolling over. In the midst of it we saw burst out from the top of the pali, nbout n mile nnd a half to the north of us, what we supposed to be an immense river of molten lava, (which afterwards proved to be red earth) which rushed down its headlong course and across the plain below, apparently bursting up from the ground, throwing rocks high in tho air, nnd swallowing up everything in its way—trees, houses, cattle, horses, goats and men all in an instant ns it were. It went three miles in not more than three minutes time, and then ceased. Some out- poinled to the shore, and we ran to where We could see it. After the land shaking had ceased and all along the lealhore from directly below us, to riinalnu, about three or lour miles, the sea was boiling and foaming furiously, all red, for about an eighth of n mile from the shore, and the shore was covered by the sea. We went right over to Nalialu's hill, with the children, and our natives, to where we could see both ways ; expecting every moment to be swallowed up by the lava from beneath ; for it sounded as if it was surging and rushing under our feel all the time ; and there were fre. qiieut shakes. In places the ground whs all cracked up. and every rock or p.ili that could fallhad fallen. At llilea we saw a small stream of black smoking lava, and outside ol I'linaluu a long black point ot lava slowly pushed outto sea anil soon disappeared. Sperm Whales Plenty in the South Seas.—Captain Kelly,recently from Sydney, via Tahiti, reports sperm whalers in the South Pacific as remarkably successful. The James Allen, 15 months out, had taken 1,700 barrels of sperm ; the Milton, 23 months out, 2,100. The Napoleon was full, and homeward bound. The old cruising grounds— New Zealand, Tonga, French Rock, &c.— abound with whales. Timely Aid.—The report falls pleasantly on the car that Queen Etruna is soliciting aid in behalf of the sufferers on Hawaii. May she be cheered on her errand among foreigners and Hawaiians in Honolulu by generous contributions. Kememher the sentiment of Shakespeare, that it is the quality of" mercy" to bless "him that gives, nnd him that takes " " The Pitcairners-Past and Present. ft is not our purpose to republish the history of the inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island. This has been done, over and over again, in both Europe and America. Among Americans there has always been a lively interest manifested in behalf of these islanders, as so many whaleships have visited the island and reported the condition of the people. From 1808 to 1852, no less than 330 ships have visited that island, according to the register kept by the inhabitants. Most of these vessels were American whaleships. their relative importance demanded. There now lies before us a manuscript letter written by the Key. N. W. Fiske, Professor of Greek in Amherst College, Mass., and dated January 7, 1845, requesting information respecting the inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island. This gentleman, deeply learned in aucient Grecian lore, became intensely interested in the Pitcairn people. He thus writes : " Information pertaining to the interests of Christ's Kingdom in any part of the vast ocean in which ymi dwell will always Ix; very welcome. I forwurd in connection with this note n little book, in which you will find your name mentioned. Your letter (answered by Quintal!) would have been inserted had it been accessible. Should you be still editing your paper and be disposed to notice this little book, please keep in mind that it is anonymous, and the writer wishes it to lie so. Allow me to say that I shall be exceedingly obliged to you for any information you may procure and forward to mo respecting Pitcairn's Island and its inhabitants; especially I should be pleased to know minutely the history of Hannah Adams and George Young and their family. George's love, Hannah's reluctance, their final marriage, their house, their family, etc., etc., would form an interesting chapter; but I had not the materials for the real history, and nothing else was to be admitted. I should also be grateful for the correction of any errors." We procured and sent forward a large amount of information, but ere its arrival, failing health had compelled the Professor to relinquish his post and visit Greece and Palestine. He died at Jerusalem May 27th, 1847. His funeral was attended from the English chapel, the service of the Church of England having been read by the Rev. Mr. Nicolayson, and the body was deposited in the cemetery on Mount Zion. Professor Fiske was a man of great learning and rare Just sixty years ago—1808—Capt.

MAY, 1868 We shall now direct the reader's attention in the history of this people. It has been our privilege to keep up a correspondence with some of the inhabitants on the island ever since we came into the .Pacific. We followed them from the island which had so long been their home, to their new abode on Norfolk Island, and have not ceased to take an interest in them, now that a portion have returned from Norfolk Island back again to Pitcairn's Island. to some recent events Removal to Norfolk Island. Through fear that Pitcairn's Island would bo too small for the increasing population, the British Government generously gave them Norfolk Island, which had been a penal settlement for the worst of convicts transported from England. All the convicts were removed to New South Wales. From a new book relating lo the South Seas, written by Berthold Seeman, and pubjished in Cambridge, England, we copy as follows : 'i The Pitcairners landed on the Bth of June, 1856, from the Morayshire, under the agtncy of Acting Lieutenant G. W. Gregorie, of H. B. M.'s ship Juno. They numbered in all 194 souls, one of whom died soon after landing; the rest comprising 40 men, 47 women, 54 boys and 52 girls." , When they left Pitcairn's Island, they brought away everything movable of any real or supposed value. The British Government very generously allowed them to inhabit houses and dwellings found upon the island. The Government otherwise provided for any anticipated wants which might arise before they could raise new crops. Return of some of the People to Pitcairn's. The new abode on Norfolk Island did not prove satisfactory to all. We received a letter from Mr. Buffett dated Norfolk Island, 27th December, 1858, from which we make the following extract: " And now for Pitcairn's. A great many wish to return there, and I suppose, if opportunity offers, will go. On the second of this month, two families left, namely, Matthew Young and his wife Margaret (the widow of Matthew McCoy, who was killed by the discharge of the Bounty's gun), and family of six children. Three others remain here (two of them, 1 believe, mean to return next opportunity), and Moses Young and his wife Albina and five children. I expect next April at least twenty more will leave, as an American whaling captain has promised to give them a passage : the family of Thursday, October, Christian and relatives. Those who left went in a brig of 100 tons, belonging to Van Dieman's Land, called the Mary Ann. The owner engaged to take 60 adults at £10 per head, and over 80, old and young, engaged to go, but it was such hard parting that the contract was broken, and it was decided that all should remain, and we agreed to ;;ive the owner half the sum for the detention of his vessel; but he not feeling easy at taking this sum without doing something for .it, it was concluded that some should go, and the two aforesaid families embarked accordingly. Subsequently a few others followed, so that as early as 1862 or 3, forty-one persons had returned to their old home." A few days since we received several letters from those dwelling there. We think our readers will be interested in reading some extracts from these letters. Senior Young, who now officiates there as school-teacherand chaplain, thus writes under date of the 21st of last February: "There are among us nows9 inhabitants— 26 males and 33 females. The oldest person on the island is the daughter of John Mills, the mutineer. She is now about 76 or 78 years ofage. 17 have been born since 18(53. We have no regularly ordained pastor, but yet the sound of the « church-going bell' is heard every Sabbath, and whenever it is sounded, there ore but few who do not attend. The morning and evening services of the English Liturgy are read both morning and evening on the Sabbath, and all who are able attend either one service or the other. Since we came from Norfolk Island—the houses being destroyed—we have been busy in building them over afresh." We also have letters from Thursday C. Christian, magistrate for 1868, Mary Christian, Robert Young, and two others. The people are poor, but contented, and very much attached to their little rocky island home. Ships visiting that part of the ocean will do the people a great favor by touching for the purchase of supplies, in exchange for clo- thing, &c. Remarks upon Norfolk Island. In 1862 the missionary ship John Williams touched at this island, and the following report is published of the visit in the London Missionary Magazine : - We found that ' Norfolk Island ' com- prises three islets: Philip Island, Nepean Island, and Norfolk Island itself, which is nineteen and a half miles round ; evidently the three isles were formerly one. Norfolk Island is a beautiful spot, everywhere adorned by the noble pine which derives its name from it. Many of those trees are of gigantic growth. We spent n day landing their greatly-needed supplies. The Key. Mr. Nobbs gave us a very kind reception. The islanders made a donation of £20 to the Society, and sent presents for the ship. Mr. Nobbs estimates the present population at 300. During the six years they have been on the island there have been 100 births, and only fifteen denths (four of these were accidental); so that the island must be remarkably healthy. English only is spoken. There are a very few old people living who can speak the Tahitian language. They are very respectful to visitors, and are kind ; they are very intelligent ; a book is a most acceptable present. They meet for Divine worship where formerly the convicts assembled on the Sabbath. They seemed to be contented and happy. They subsist on the English potato, the sweet potato, the yam, and Indian corn; wheaten flour, sugar and salt are imported. We saw the taro plant growing freely. Each person is entitled upon marriage to fifty acres of land ; and each takes his turn in supplying vessels with what they may require, so that there can be no pauperism among them. They are a good-looking race, a shade darker than ourselves, and tall. They are strictly moral; many, we hope, arc de- cidedly pious. " It seems that shortly after their migration to Norfolk Island, two families returned to Pitcairn's, and are doing well there. " Many inquiries were made by the islanders as to the spread of the Gospel in Polynesia. They asked after several missionaries hv name ; one of them said that he distinctly remembered a sermon preached by the Rev. J. Williams at Tahiti, in 1831, from the words, ' Comfort ye, comlort ye my people, saith your God.' One of them is now preparing nt Auckland to go forth as a missionary under the auspices of Bishop Patteson. It was with much regret that we parted so soon from these interesting people." We have still later intelligence from that island. The Rev. Mr. Nobbs thus writes to a friend in England, under date of June 1, 1867. The extract is from the Friend, published in London in December, 1867. # # * # "M\r dear wife sends her lore and thanks to Mrs. Veale for the articles specially sent her; but she will send a few lines, and so speak for herself. A good wife and mother she is. We have been united nearly forty years, and have at this time ten children surviving,— all grown up with the exception of a little daughter of ten years, the Benjamin of our age ; but our house is not lonely, for we have twenty-five grandchildren, and the merry voices of some of them are every day heard in our midst, for several of them come two or three miles to school, and then of course all flock to grandmother at noon for dinner, and supper also if the weather is bad. Then grandmother is in her young days again, and grandfather is obliged to lay aside his dignity a? pastor and school-master.and almost thinks himself young also, until eight o'clock in winter and nine in summer, when every member of the "ousehold assembles for prayers, and then children and grandfather to bed ; the rest generally remain up an hour or two longer. I mention these domestic observances that you may understand the usual routine of the community. Parents and chil- — dren ore intensely attached to each other, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren are as much at home in their ancestors domicile as their parents used to be in their childhood. In short, patriarchal customs and manners are prevalent; and 1 trust the love of God nnd our neighbors is prevalent in every heart. To those friends at Worcester who sent tokens of Christian regard I bid God speed, and proffer my best thanks. We are at this time in the enjoyment of good health, with but few exceptions, nnd rapidly increasing in numbers. Our Father in heaven has been very gracious to us, especially in putting it into the hearts of yourselves and others in England, to confer so many benefits upon us in this our isolated situation. May you and they indeed experience the satisfaction of knowing your labors have nut been in vain in the Lord. " Yours in verity, Geo. H. Hours." �PLACES OF WORSHIP. SEAMEN'S BETHEL-Kev. 8. 0.

Three days after landing this company to wreck the Lihelle. the schooner was driven off to sea by a gale, and nothing has ever been heard from lior. dipt.

The Clio brought 210 flasks of quicksilver, some copper, anchor, chains, iScc, from the wreck of the Libellc. We hear it reported, and we hope the is report true, that His Majesty has invited the choirs of Kawaialiao and Kaumakapili churches to give each a concert in behalf of the sufferers on Hawaii. Such concerts, we are confident, would be fully attended and liberally patronized. The sooner they come off the better. Well Done.—The success of Miss Atherton in soliciting subscriptions in behalf of Miss Bingham's school is highly gratifying. The sum of $1,950 contributed to purchase the Clark premises for this chool, indicates* that the interests of education are above par in the estimation of the people of Honolulu. Rev.

JUNE 186S. British Congregational Missionaries. and A friend has kindly loaned us the " Congregational Year Book " for 1569, published in London. This is a large volume of more than 400 pages, giving a great amount of statistical information respecting Congregational or Independent ministers and their churches scattered throughout Great Britain, the Colonies, and the heathen world. From this book, it appears that there are in Kntland ftvjliiul W.I",..' Iretond Colonic. Korelf n minima, Totnl, ;d mi linlst*:ers. 1,822 OPr.

We were much interested in looking over the list of foreign missionaries, now laboring in the South Seas, India, China, Africa, Madagascar and the West Indies. It is well knowß that these are all laboring under the patronage of the London Missionary Society, that veteran and venerable association, which is the pioneer Society among Protestants engaged in the foreign missionary work. in round numliers, foreign Congregational missionaries, compared with Congregational ministers preaching at home, would be about as one to ten. We have not statistical tables at hand to verify the assertion, but we do not imagine that other Protestant denominations are sending forth more than owe in ten of their ordained ministers to preach the gospel among the unevangelized nations of the earth. This proportion -appears smati—only one in ten—while the inhabitants of heathen lands so vastly out-number even professedly nominal Christians. We fear candidates for the Christian ministry in Europe and America are as yet very far from coming up to a full appreciation of the command, " Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Well did the Duke of Wellington style this command the " inarching orders " of the Christian ministry. From the volume we have here noticed, we might also glean much more of interest relating to the Congregationalist or Independent ministers of Great Britain. As a denomination, they appear to be aggressive and vigorous, the patrons of schools and seminaries, and insist upon a thorough theological training as an essential requisite for the Christian ministry. From all we can gather, the Congregational ministers of Great Britain favorably compare with the ministers of other denominations in ability, scholarship, eloquence, and all those essential qualifications which form, in the estimation of the Apostle Paul, " a workman, that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Hawaiian Evangelical Association. To-day, June Ist, this ecclesiastical association convened ut the Lecture Room of Kawaiahao Church. There was a full attendance from all parts ofthe Islands.

Young " {®0> Safes, f01.25. Hawaii is coming upon the stage, nnd as in the Hawaiian Parliament, so in the meetings of the Association, Hawaiians out-number foreigners.

During the past year six new church buildings have been erected, and about fifty united with the several mission churches. The Rev. Mr. Keiwi, of the Oomoa station, on Fatuhiva, returned. The missionary families were all well. The vessel had a long passage to the islands of thirty-six days, but returned in only eleven and a half days. This was a remarkably quick passage.

This is the title which we find heading a pamphlet containing ihree sermons preached in the city of Worcester, Mass., by the Key. M, Richardson, Pastor of Salem St. Church. The course of reasoning in these discourses indicates that the Christian divine shrinks not from grappling with those questions of science which some have endeavored to discuss in a manner injurious to the cause of divine revelation. The preacher nptly remarks in his opening discourse, " As chemistry teaches the elementary construction of "The Relation of the Bible bodies ; as medicine deals with diseases and their cure ; so does inspired truth have to do w«h sin and holiness. The Bible is ■ book of religious character. It alludes to a multitude of other subjects, but only as they bear upon this." So long as divines and men of science keep this principle in view, there will he no conflict between the Bible and science. The gospel minister may lay the whole created universe under contribution for the illustration of the sacred volume, and so long ns he keeps within his proper sphere us a Clnistian teacher, he need not fear all the array of sceptics and infidels, however learned in science and philosophy and able they may be, in the language of the great Leibnitz, " to drive nil the sciences abreast." Gospel ministers are the last of all inquirers after truth who should be afraid lest men of science will make discoveries which will overturn the Bible. Every gospel minister well-read and equipped for the pulpit, may rather exclaim in the glowing language of the Rev. Dr. Tyler, Professor in Amherst College: "So far, then, from being alarmed at the progressive influence of science upon religion, it is with emotions of delight too big for utterance that I look down the tract of time, and see, with the eye of faith, science and religion pouring a flood of light upon each other ; seal after seal broken, and page after page of surpassing beauty and glory opened to view simultaneously in nature and revelation; doubts removed, and mysteries explained; the elements conquered, and the passions subdued ; man reclaimed and God honored ; and the world at length irradiated with the blended beams of a sanctified literature and an enlightened Christianity. To the men of that happy day, ' heaven above will indeed be a reward lor heaven enjoyed below.' To behold the dawning of that day, and pray and labor for its approaching consummation, is a privilege which prophets and kings of former times never enjoyed." .

In reading some weeks ago a report of the Britisli army in Abyssinia, we noticed that the soldiers were Buffering for the want of water; but in their extremity they had resorted to the American system of digging wells. We have been sorely puzzled to learn what that system was, which should be styled peculiarly American. The following statement from a London magazine will explain the matter : The American Tube Well.—Probably no invention of the present day is causing among scientific men so much attention as is this exceedingly simple and yet most efficient apparatus for obtaining, in almost-all situations, pure water at a small outlay. It consists of nothing more than an iron tube perforated with holes at the lower end, and shod with a steel point, which enables it readily to penetrate the hardest soil. This tube is driven into the ground vertically by means of repeated blows given by a hollow monkey working on the tube as a guide. These blows are received upon a strong clamp firmly gripping the tube near the ground, the clamp being from time to time raised as the tube descends into the earth. The process of driving is continued until it is ascertained, by means of a plumb lowered into the tube, that a water bearing stratum has been reached. A pump is then attached to the tube, and the water obtained ; at first the water pumped up conies thick and dirty, but altera while it comes clearer and clearer, until that is perfectly pure which remains. It is evident that, apart from the simplicity of the tube-well system, its great advantage is in the purity of the water obtained. In no ordinary dug well is it possible to prevent surface water and drainage from mixing with the purer water springing from the bottom ; indeed, it is very questionable if in any case an open well is more than a cesspool in whitii the drainage from all the surrounding soil is collected. The unhealthy character of many localities may fairly be traced to tht! deleterious nature of the water supply arising from this cause, and it must always be n matter of vital importance to obtain water cut ofTfrom these impurities, and if possible drawn direct from ihe natural source. This the patent tube-well system most completely effects, for the tube driven into the ground seals up the well from all surface drainage ; indeed, if the sinkers come to water inferior in quality or quantity, they may drive through that into u lower and better stratum, and completely exclude the upper water; and then, as they pump, the smaller particle! of soil pass through the perforations into the well and are drawn up. leaving behintl a bed of gravel and small stones, which forms a natural reservoir and filter to each well, and insures the purity of the waiter subsequently pumped up. This invention is known and appreciated by the Americans, who employed it in the Northern army to supply their troops with water all through the campaigns. It is of more recent introduction into this country, but is already beginning to be adopted by all those who value the purity of water.

But have not the Chinese statesmen been studying of late years the great work of the American Wheaton on the " Laws of Nations ?

A little shaking, a sudden lurch, and she was on beams' ends. And there she lay, a warning to all passing ships not to take as freight, or provisions, what, in all probability, would cause a mutiny on board to deprive the captain and officers of all authority, and give up the management of the ship to ignorance and haphazard. Now all this risk and loss was brought about by disregarding the sailing directions and the chart. Here is the caution in the sailing directions: "Look not on the wine when it is red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." If you heed not this caution, will be as he that lieth down in the " you of midst the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast." It is well to have a convoy, when in danger of pirates ; but it is not so pleasnnt to Nauta. have a policeman for a convoy. Ritualism Defined.—In a pamphlet by the Hon. Henry Noel, entitled " Ritualism in England,"'we find the following definition of Ritualism : "It is a kind of Popery peculiar to England. Ido not think it could exist in any other country. It is, in fact, an anomalous religion. It is English Popery; Popery without the Pope. It is Protestantism slipping and sliding into Popery. It is Protestantism in a chrysalis state. A chrysalis we know is a grub; it is a caterpillar; it will be a butterfly. So Ritualism is a crub; its Pro.testant legs are gone ; its Papist wings are not yet quite come. I distinctly .'oniiect Ritualism, Puseyism and High Churchism with Popery. I would leave this short sentence on your mind. High Churchism is low Popery. In Ritualism, England and Rome meet and kiss each other." �I UK rRIK N IK JUNE, I sfi 8 44 .

S. - �45 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1868. Missionary Sermons. Oakland Presbyterian Church.—Rev. Mr. Hamilton announced a course of sermons for Sabbath evenings on India. He contemplates a similnr course on China. His aim is to show the history, workings and results of modern missions, and awaken among his people a more intelligentand earnest interest in the cause of missions itself.—Occident. We are glad to read notices like this in a California religious newspaper. The subject of missions to the unevangclized nations of Asia and Africa, is one which should be brought before the churches of Christian lands. Any church that does not actively engage in spreading abroad the Christian religion among the heathen, is unworthy to bo called Christian. The pastor bringing the subject before his people, will not only rail forth contributions, but awaken an interest nnong the young, which will lead some to ■seek an education for the very purpose of preaching the gospel in heathen lands. Every church ought to send at least one of its members on a foreign mission. In order to accomplish this object, the Rev. Mr. Hamilton, of Oakland, is pursuing the right course, and we should be glad to learn that every pastor in California and Oregon was following his example. European Correspondence. tNot a few Hawaiian born are now resi- sts and travelers in foreign lands. It is ceedingly pleasant occasionally to receive eir hearty aloha, and read their correspondce. We have been favored with a few paragraphs from the lengthy letters (written to family friends) of Mrs. Weaver, formerly Miss Armstrong, who is now traveling in Europe and the Orient. Venice, November 15, 1867. , From Geneva, we took a steamboat to the other end of Lake Geneva; then by rail and carriage through the Rhone Valley, walled in by high, snow-capped Alps, and in many places almost a stranger to sunlight, and in consequence, the home of deformed, idiotic humanity. The goitre prevails, too. It is a swelling of the glands of the neck, often the size of an ostrich egg, and most unsightly. The contrast between nature and humanity is perfectly marked. Resting one night in the antique village of Chion, next by carriuge and four, we slowly ascend Simplon Pass by the famous roail built by Napoleon I. for lbe passage of his army into Italy. It cuts the mountain side, tunnels through obstacles, crosses deep gorge* by wonderful bridges, and baffles the avalanche in its stability. At various points are reluges built for the benighted and weary traveler, uninhabited, and open to all. On the summit stands the Hospice, kept by monks, and supplied with dops, as on St. Bernard. These monks do not like to entertain ladies, so we passed on to a little inn lor the night. Excelsior I can appreciate as never before. " The shades of night were tailing fa>l " as we n cared the summit, where the white dome of Mt. Simplon cut the starspangled sky. Beneath us were the shades and torrents of the valley, and beyond us, the vista of distant Alps. No pen can describe the scene of vision as I recall it. A strange sense of the insignificance of man creeps over one in these palaces of nature. One day in the descent brought us to the sunny lake of Maggiore, within Italian borders, and into a soft atmosphere. The lake is a summer resort, and remarkable for its islands. Isola Bella, owned for centuries by a family of Italian counts, sustains a regal police, with mosaic floors and frescoed walls, richly carved furniture, &c. : but its wonder lies in the garden, which is built after the manner of the hanging gardens of Babylon, in many terraces. The soil is brought from the tropics, and is often renewed—so that within sight of Alpine snows, flourish lemon, citron, orange and cork trees, with cedar of Lebanon, olive and banana trees. There were grottos draped in vines, ferns and mosses, while under the shades lurked marble fawns and cupids. I found many friends among the flowerts, and had quite an aloha over the lantana. From this lake we passed on to Lake Lugnno, fringed with queer little villages; thence to " Como's shores," the theme of poets and artists, and one of Byron's favorite haunts, referred to in Childe Harold. It is a charming spot, and the climate superb. We had some glorious moonlight sails over the quiet waters. Now follow tne to the town of Como, once a splendid city, and distinguished as the home of the Plinys and Dr. Volta. In the museum we saw the rude instrument with which he formed his voltaic battery. Next we arrived at Milan, a lively Parislike city, well kept, and full of churches. The cathedral is a magnificent afTair. It looks, and is. a mass of embroidered marble. There are seven thousand statues placed, anil three thousand yet to be completed. Five hundred turrets, each terminated by a statue (aside from the mnin tower), cut the sky. It will require sixty years to complete the grand work, with two hundred workmen constantly employed. I have no patience with a religion that locks up its wealth in its churches, while the country is swarmed with beggars. A few of the jewels from the altars would give bread and light to many. Poor Garibaldi has failed again. He would do much for Italy, and she sadly needs a change ; but the end is not yet. The Italian Government is suppressing monasteries and convents, and has offered for sale a large amount of church property, which shows the direction of the title. Let me tell you of our entrance into Venice, under the moon. Oh, it was fairy like!—passing over the line new railroad, connecting the seventy islands of the main land, into the depot, then down broad stone steps to a gondola (shaped as you see in pictures), with high bowsand stern,and gliding through the water streets, through which the tide has eblied and flowed for more than a thousand yean; by palaces of other days, nil frescoed and carved, but worn with the marks of time; in and out through narrow, dark alleys, and into the broad canal, and under tin veritable bridge of sighs to th" door of tb" hotel, once a palace of the Doges,— such was our entrance into the city of the sea. There is a weird stillness about the place. No rattling of carts, not a house to be seen, and even the bark of a dog is a rarity. Not a tree, or any green thing, save a sickly at-w tempt at a botanical garden on one of thn seventy islands. The evenings we often enjoy in a gondola on the grand canal, the Fifth Avenue or Montgomery Street of the city, cntertnined by our own fancies, and the musical tip of the boatman's oar. 1 do not wonder that Byron loved these haunts, since there is everything here to develop a poetical nature. Venire Itonsts of nearly seventy churches, nil triumphs'of art. The finest is St. Murks Cathedral, for its walls are a mass of rich mosaic and frescoes, by the masters, and the floor is all line marble mosaic, while the pillars are of alabaster and the choicest oriental marble. The high altar is said to contain the bones of St. Mark, the Apostle, translated, or rather stolen from Alexandria. In the baptistery are a chair and bits of his parinents, and.of course, a bit of the cross. The choicest relic is a large stone brought from Jerusalem, from which Christ ascended. On it foot-priuts are distinctly visible. In al' faith, they showed the block on which John the Baptist was beheaded. 1 have seen crowds of poverty stricken victims of superstition pay their mite to the priest and kiss these relics. Skulls, teeth, &c.,are a source of revenue to the church. Very near us is the Ducal palace, lenowned for its extensive picture gallery, where the Venetian school ol art can be enjoyed. Tintoretti, Titian and Paul Veronica are my favorites here. Titian's finest work, since the burning of St. Peter, the martyr, the assumption of the Virgin is the most life-like and speaking canvas I ever saw. The immortal bridge of sighs 1 send you on paper. The palace, of the Doges is on the left, and the prison on the right. The prisoners pass from trial in the palace, over the bridge to prison ; hence the name. Near us is Shylock's bridge, standing as in the past —rows of shops on either side. I had a most interesting chat with a Capuchin monk in the Armenian convent, situated on one of the islands, the other duy. He was a Turk, and a perfect gentleman. lam bored with hand-organs. Often five or six a day afflict me. A wealthy lady left a dowry for the doves here, which have been reverenced from time immemorial, and ever day, as the clock in the old bell tower strikes two, they come from all quarters to be fed in the public square, never falling to notice the time. 1 often feed a dozen or more from my window sill. Never banned, they know no fear. Fi.orknci:, November 22. Leaving Venice hastily, I did not mail my letter. We came by way of Padua and Bologna, of sausage memory, and over the Appenine Mountains. Florence is a delightful place, and the Pitti palace a wilderness of choice pictures. Mr. Powers received us in his studio very kindly, where we saw the Greek Slave in all her majesty. 1 have feasted, my eyes on the Verms Dc Medici and Canova's Venus in the palace, and made a pilgrimage to Mrs. Browning's quiet grnve.

On a stormy night, some years since, upon New Jersey coast, Mr. Holmes, of the *ife-boat station, was awakened from his sleep by the low, heavy sound of a cannon booming over the angry water. As he listened, found that the sounds came at regular invals of a minute, and his practiced ear directly understood the warning notice of distress indicated by "The Minute Gun ut Sea." Rousing from his rest, he quickly manned his life-boat, and launched on the boiling waves. In the pitchy darkness he could only determine the direction of the vessel in distress by his ear ; and as he listened, he bent his helm and guided his boat nenrer and till at last a long flash of lightning _the « farer, owed a noble vessel stranded on 'an outer r, with a raging sea between it and the shore. Escape for the passt ngers was im- possible. As well might they plunge in the wide ocean as into that angry sea; and the waves, as they rolled in, broke over the vessel with a force that would by-and-by break it into pieces. The lurid lightning only showed to the panic-struck passengers the hopelessness of escape. While they were thus giving themselves up to despair, the brave pilot was approaching them nearer and nearer, though undiscovered by them. The waves beat so high, that in vain he tried to board the vessel on the windward side, and he came under her lee; but so rapidly was his life-boat driven, that here, too, the hope of boarding was vain. His bold heart and clear head in a moment, however, devised an expedient. As he passed under the vessel, he seized a rope hanging from a yard-arm—he raised himself by it— his boat was swept from under him, and he swung himself on the wreck, to share the fate of the passengers and crew. He called them to him, and told them that, "if they would trust him," he could wear the ship ofT the bar, and carry them safe to land. Astonished by his heroism and self-devotion, officers, crew and passengers, by common consent, gave everything into his hands, "and every soul on board was saved." When they had all safely reached the beach,they brought to their brave pilot the precious things they had saved on their person from the wreck, and besought him to accept all they had, for him alone they owed their lives, their all. 5 had placed himself in their sinking eck, and saved them from a watery grave.

And notice, dearreader, if you are a Christian, yet one other thing. The brave pilot made no bargain with the wrecked mariners. All he asked was for them to trust him. He did not first demand their valuables, and refuse to save them unless they would bestow them all upon him. He saved them freely, and then their hearts were opened to pour out all they had to their deliverer. Yet how many, in undertaking to proclaim the gospel of God's grace, state it as though God thus demanded from the poor sinner the sacrifice of nil his treasures before he will listen to his cry for mercy. But, ah, no! God's way is very different. He saves us freely, and thus wins our hearts ; so that, as we contemplate His mighty love, we feel that nothing is too near or too dear to pour out for " Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion for"ever and ever."

We rejoice to learn from the Hawaiian Gazette of June 24th that the Hawaiian Government has taken higher ground in regard to the introduction of laborers into this Kingdom. If we understand the principles adopted in the management of bargains with the Japanese, the old coolie system is superseded or abolished. This is a step in the right direction. It is following the principles of the American Government, which passed laws as early as 1862, subjecting ship-owners and their agents to fine and imprisonment if they should engage in the coolie trade, which has been found in many instances to be but a slight modification of the African slave trade. In one respect it even is wanting a redeeming feature of that abominable trade. We refer to the point of bringing from China, and other countries where coolies are to be obtained, none but male laborers. African slavers transport men, women and children ; whole families go together ! We would call the attention of our readers to an article found in another portion of our columns, respecting the coolie system as now carried on in Queensland, Australia. We copy the article from a London publication of high character. There can be no ilnnlit that the crossest imposition and cru- system of compulsion, or any system which did not embrace whole families. We do not believe the introduction of a large number of male laborer alone from any country into the Hawaiian Islands will prove advantageous to our islands and aboriginal community. England in her excellent Colonial system sends out families. America is made strong, vigorous and rich, because whole families—men, women and children—go over from the over-populated countries of Europe. We want laborers, but' at the same time we desire to see growing up a healthy, moral and religious community. Installation.

This mission was commenced in 1853 under the auspices of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, and in answer to a call from Matuunui, a Marquesan chief. Two native pastors and two school teachers and their Rev. wives were sent out as pioneers, James Kekela and wife ; Rev. Samuel Kauwealoha and wife; Mr. J. W. Kaiwi and wife, and Mr. L. Kuihelani and wife. Mr. James Hicknell, a carpenter by trade, volunteered to accompany them, and aid them as he might have time and opportunity. The Society appointed Rev. B. W. Parker as their delegate to go and introduce the missionaries into this difficult field. They chartered the English brig Royalist, Capt. Harris, for $2,000 to take the missionaries and their outfit (via Tahiti) to Fatuiva, and after satisfactorily locating the families, to return the delegate again to Honolulu. The brig sailed on the 16th of June, and arrived at Fatuiva on the 26th of August, after a passage of two months and ten days. They were all located ut Oojnoa, on Matuunui's land, and lived together more than three years, acquired the language, taught school, and held meetings on the Sabbath. In 1856, the Society chartered the schooner John Young (40 tons), Capt. Tabor, to go and take supplies to that mission. Rev. L. Smith went as delegate. The schooner was 36 days on her passage to Fatuiva—stood at anchor 10 days, and returned in 14 days. Two natives were received to the Oomoa church this year, and Mrs. L. Kuihelani died in the month of August. viz: In 1857, the brig Morning Star, Capt. Moore, took supplies to that mission. Rev. J. S. Emerson went as delegate ; Namakeha, a Hawaiian chief, his wife and servant, and J. E. Chamberlain, Esq., went as passengers. Rev. A. Kaukau and wife went at this time to reinforce the mission. During their general meeting at Hanahi, J. W. Kaiwi, one of the teachers, was ordained to preach the gospel. One native was received to the church. On the return of the Morning Star, Messrs. Bicknell and Kuihelani came home on a visit. During this visit Mr. Bicknell was ordained and appointed a missionary of the Society. In 1858, the Morning Star, Capt. Johnson, made her second trip, and was 40 days on her outward passage. Rev. A. Bishop went us delegate. Rev. J. Bicknell and Mr. Kuihelani and his second wife returned as passengers. P. Kapohaku and L. Kaiwi and their wives went at this time to reinforce the mission. Five natives were received to the church at Oomoa. On the return of Capt. Johnson, Rev. J. Kekela came home on a visit with his son Hunnewell. , 1868. In 1859, the Morning Star, Capt. Brown, made her third trip to the Marquesas Islands. As Rev. James Kekela was to return from his visit home, no delegnte was sent this year. On arriving at Oomoa, Capt. Brown heard of the wreck of the whaleship Twilight, Capt. Hatha way, at Hanamenu, on the island of Hivaoa, and he made haste to aid the unfortunate seamen, and give them a passage to Honolulu. Capt. Brown was 81 days in making this voyage to and fro. In 1860, the Morning Star, Capt. Brown, left Honolulu on the 2Sth of February, and arrived at Tahuaka in 24 days. Rev. T. Coan was delegate. Mr. Coan visited the missionaries at their several stations on Tahuaka, Hivaoa and Fatuiva, holding their general meeting at Hanaiapa. Two persons were received to the church at Puamau this year. On her voyage this year, the Morning Star was absent 77 days. In 1861, on her fifth voyage to the Marquesas, the Morning Star was under the command of Capt. Gelett; Dr. L. H. Gulick, delegate. Mr. Z. Hapuku and wife went and joined the mission at this time. Five natives were received to the church at Oomoa this year. Paulo Kapohaku and wife were recalled at this time on account of his having become blind, and unable to read or travel over the precipices. By this opportunity, Rev. J. Bicknell returned to Honolulu, and soon after-resigned his connection with the mission. In 1862, the Morning Star, Capt. Gelett, made her sixth visit. Rev. D. Baldwin was delegate. Mr. G. W. Laiohavand wife went out to reinforce the mission. One person was received to the church this year. Mr. L. Kaiwi was recalled, his wife having forsaken her family. Rev. L. Kuihelani and wife were also recalled, on account of his inefficiency. In 1863, the Hawaiian Board chartered the schooner Manuokawui, Capt. Bent, to carry supplies to the mission; Rev. B. W. Parker, delegate. The schooner was 45 days in going from Honolulu to Uapou. During this year 1,000 natives died of the small-pox on Nuuhiva, and 500 on Uapou. Arrangements were made with the missionaries at this time not to send them supplies again till 1865. In 1865, the Morning Star, Capt. James, visited the mission ; Hon. John li, delegate. The vessel was 30 days to Uapou. Rev. J. Bicknell went as passenger, und brought some 20 Marquesans to Oahu to teach them the Christian religion. In 1867, the new Morning Star, Capt. Bingham, carried the supplies ; Rev. T. Coan and Rev. B. W. Parker, delegates. Miss Carrie P. Parker, Miss Maria 0. Kekela, Mr. B. H. Nagle and nine Marquesans went They had a passage of 35 and were detained among Uapou, days the islands 24 days. During this visit Mr. Z.

To the church at Puamau, 7 were received; to the church at Oomoa, 18—in all 48. The total number now received to these churches is 62, 5 of whom have died, leaving 57 in good standing. In 1868 (March 26th), the new Murning Star, Capt. Adolph Tengstrom, Rev. L. Smith, delegate, sailed from Honolulu, and arrived at Unpou on the Ist of May, 36 days passage. went as Samuel Kapaha, a Marquesan, passenger. The following are signs of progress during the last 12 months : Six new meeting houses have been built, and the gratuitous labor of the people upon said houses is valued at $130. Fifty persons have been baptized and received to the several churches, making the total number received from the commencement 112, 6 ot whom have died, and 7 are now suspended, leaving 99 in good and regular standing. The Morning Star was eleven and a half days from Uapou to Honolulu. On account of ill health, Rev. J. W. Kaiwi came home on a visit. "Queen Emma's Countryman is a Pagan." No, Mr. Dixon, author of "New America," Queen Emma's countryman is no pagan. The aborigines of these Islands are no more pagans than the people of the British Islands. We fancy Mr. Dixon must have drawn his views of the present condition of Queen Emma's countrymen from those rhetorical flourishes and oratorical flights which the Bishop of Oxford threw off when describing Hawaiians as " children of nature, children of the air, children of the light, children of the sun, children of beauty, taking their greatest pleasure in the dance." We copy this remark from Dixon's new book. It is to be found on page 256, where the writer is describing the lour races in America, viz : the Anglo-Saxon, Negro, Chinese and InYou may sit dian. He thus remarks: " some house with at dinner miner's in down a dozen guests who shall not be matched in contrasting types and colors in a Cairene bazaar, an Aleppo gateway, or a Stamboul mosque. On either side of you may set a Polish Jew, an Italian count, a Choctaw chief, a Mexican rancher, a Confederate soldier (there called a ' whitewashed Reb'), a Mormon bishop, a Sandwich Island sailor, a Parsee merchant," (and London Cockney.) Mr. Dixon indulges in a strain of free and easy remarks on the various religious tenets �ill X of the motley assemblage at this dinner table. He styles the Italian an infidel; the Mexican a Catholic; the Negro a Methodist—an Episcopal Methodist; the Choctaw a worshiper of the Great Spirit; the Chinese a Buddhist. In order to round out and polish off the paragraph, he sty!"s " Queen Emma's countryman a pagan." We do not propose to prove the Sandwich Islander no pagan, by referring to the Missionary Herald, the reports of the or Bishop Staley's Pastoral, but we would narrate the following Evangelic*! Association, incident : Some years p go an Irish titled gentleman and his accomplished sister were visiting the Islands in their travels around the world. They visited the volcano on Hawaii. After leaving Hilo, they pursued their journey, putting up for the night at ihe half-way house between Hilo and the volcano. " Mine host" was one of Queen Emma's countrymen. The weary travelers retired for the night " to sleep, perchance to dream." A suspicious noise was heard near the head of his bed. The wakeful traveler grasps his revolver. Awful moment of surprise! Perhaps the fate which Cook experienced is to be that of Ins countryman Fortunately he reserves his fire, but with his finger still upon the trigger he watches the savage pagan. The terrified traveler imagines that he may be searching for some deadly weapon concealed under the thatch; but.no! it was for his Famdy Bible, for before retiring he must offer his devotions and read his Bible. The scene which followed may well be set forth in Burns' beautiful lines, describing the " Cotter's Saturday Night: ! " priest-like father reads the sacred pa^c, " The How Ahram was the friend of God on high; Or Moses bade eternal warfare wage With Amclek's ungracious progeny; Or how the royal bard did groaning lie Beneath the stroke of God's avenging ire; Or Job's pathetic plaint, or wailing cry; Or rapt Isaiah's wild, seraphic fire; Or other holy seers that tune the sacred lyre. " Then kneeling down to heaven's Eternal King, The saint, the father, the husband prays; Hope springs exalting on triumphant wing, That thus they alt shall meet in future days." The sudden revulsion in the feelings of the stranger and his sister can be better imagined than described. An angel of peace suddenly had come to the dwelling ; kindly, grateful and fraternal emotions were awakened. The subject of Queen Victoria learned a lesson from Queen Emma's countryman, which he will not probably ever forget. He related this incident in our hearing after his return from the volcano, and Mr. Dixon might doubtless hear it repeated if he should ever , Ireland. in his travels visit Two hearts which mutually love, are like two magnetic clocks ; that which moves in one must move in the other, for it is the samp rtower which act-* in both.— ijocthe. MM X ,\ l>, 51 JUL V, 1868. Peep at Mission Life in the South Seas, part of the examination. Abraham Touauor the Rev. L. Smith's Report as Delegate veau, one of the chiefs, now a church memto the Marquesas Islands. On the return of the Morning Star from her recent trip to the Marquesas Islands, the delegate made a long and satisfactory report to the Hawaiian Board and the Evangelical Association. The latter was in the Hawaiian language, while the former was in English. We have carefully read over the report, hut cannot publish it entire, as it would occupy so much of our little sheet, and as we have published in former years much relating to that mission. In another column will be found a brief historical sketch of that mission. The report however of Mr. Smith calls attention to several points of interest, which we shall notice. 1. Church Building. —During the past year six new church buildings have been erected at the several mission stations. Respecting the one at Hakahekau, Mr. Smith thus remarks: " May 2d. Had a pleasant visit with Kauwealoha last night at Hakahekau, and a good meeting this A. M. with SO of his people in his new meeting house. The foundation of this house is an old hula platform, raised three or four feet from the ground. It is a framed building 24 by 13, inclosed with boards ; has a framed door and five small sash windows, a seat around the room, and a table and chair for the minister. The floor is gravel, covered over with a mat of wattled bamboo splirfllrs. It fronts the sea, and is whitewashed inside and out. His people assisted him last August in building it." Other Hawaiian missionaries are engaged in a similar work elsewhere among — Marquesans. 2. Schools.—The missionaries are teaching the young. Some years ago the Rev. Mr. Bicknell brought some Marquesans to Honolulu. They remained under his care and teaching, and then returned as missionaries to their poor, benighted and savage countrymen. Since their return they have been teaching and preaching. Mr. Smith thus refers to their labors at Hanamenu : " Off Hanamenu this morning, and went on shore at 8 o'clock. Honiae and Daniola were glad to see us. At 10 o'clock the horn was blown, and the people assembled in one of the three meeting and school houses. There being three Christian chiefs in this valley, each has his meeting and school house. They alternate and hold their meetings in the different houses, Honiae being their spiritual teacher. The school appeared well. Twenty of the adults had each committed a separate chapter in the New Testament, and recited the same to me verbatim. Then I selected a chapter, when each read a verse. I was very much pleased with this ber, says he is very desirous that the Rev. Mr. Bicknell shall return to Hanamenu and become their teacher. He says he was a reckless, drunken heathen when Mr. B. was here, and cared not for his instructions, but now he has reformed, united with the church, and wishes to be taught. It is very obvious to me that a good, pious, self-denying missionary and his wife would add immensely to our Mnrcpjesan Mission." The Rev. J hekelas Station.— Respecting this station, Mr. Smith thus remarks: " Kekcla's boarding school has failed the past year, but he wishes to make another effort, if he can have the boys, instead of the girls. [Such nn arrangement has been mnde. A school for girls is to be taught by Kauwealoha.] Intemperance has been the order of the day for months, and has reduced his congregation one-half. We had a prayer-meeting in Kekela's middle room, while some twenty-five or thirty wild and savage looking natives were around the doors and windows. Kckela and his people have built a meeting house the past year, where they hold meetings on the Sabbath and his week-day schools. "On returning to the boat, Kekela presented us with a pig, eight bunches of bananas and some breadfruit, for which the Captain gave him several fathoms of rope, a paper of fish-hooks, and some other little articles which he wanted. Arrived on board at 3 P. M„ and set off for Atuonn." The foregoing sketches and extracts wilT furnish our readers with a " peep at mission life" on the Marquesan Islands. There, as elsewhere —in China, Japan, India—mission labors have their bright nnd dark aspects, but still the gospel leaven is spreading and permeating heathen society, mind and life. Christians may find abundant encouragement to press the good work forward. The New York Mail says that Rev. Daniel Lord, of the South Congregational Church at Bridgeport, surprised his audience last Sunday by the announcement from the pulpit that henceforth he would never use tobacco in any form, nor wine except at communion service, as his occasional indulgences in cigars and wine hed been made rocks of stumbling by some of his weakminded parishioners. His determination is certainly most commendable, and some other minister* would do well to turn a short corner in the same direction." The editor of the New York Mail refers to the weak-minded parishioners of a tobaccousing and wine-drinking clergyman ! We think the epithet weak-minded would better apply to the unfortunate clergyman whohad fallen into such pernicious habits. The hint in the closing sentence of the above paragraph is worthy of attention. " �THE CRIENII, JULY, 52 THE FRIEND. JULY 7, isits. Aheong, the Colporteur. At the recent meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, the preliminary steps were taken to employ this gentleman as a laborer among his numerous countrymen oil the Hawaiian Islands. As this M regarded as an important movement in behalf of the Chinese, we wish to call the special attention of our island readers to this subject. For years the spiritual welfare of the Chinese has been a subject of anxious thought to many. Letters have been written to China and California, in order to secure the services of some competent laborer, but without any good result. Providence nppenrs now to hnve been raising up the proper man from among the Chinese. The history of this man Is briefly this : In 1854, Mr. Graves goes to China for coolie laborers. Among them was <ound ABSORB, who was about twenty years of age, and well educated in the literature of China, being competent to write and speak several of the dialects. His services were secured, because he was a competent translator. His father was a school superintendent in China, about 150 miles from Canton. In the wars then raging, Aheono was separated from his family, and compelled to seek employment at one of the seaports. He fell in with an agent of Mr. Graves, and came to the Islands under an engagement for five years. On his arrival he became a laborer of Mr. Torbcrt, who then resided at Ulupnlakua. There he was a clerk in a store on the plantation. When Mr. Torbcrt removed to Makawao, Aheono accompanied him. At that place he became a pupil of the Rev. J. P. Green, and subsequently a sincere follower of Jesus of Nazareth. As years rolled on, Aheono became located at Lahaina as a prosperous merchant. He is connected with th church of the Rev. Mr. Baldwin. At the meeting of the Evangelical Association, he came as delegate from that church. He has a family, and is much respected as a merchant and resident at Lahaina. Agreeable to present arrangements, AheoM will close up his business, and about the Lt ef November enter upon his labors among his countrymen on a salary of $800 per annum. He has already performed much voluntary labor among the Chinese and Hawaiian*, speaking and writing English and Hawaiian as well as the Chinese. He has never been licensed or ordained, but should the arrangement be perfected, ere long he may enter the Christian ministry.

KMuch • uneasiness has recently been felt by my of the inhabitants of Queensland at : prospect of oppression and social demoralization afforded by the increasing practice of importing natives of the South Sea Islands, lor agricultural labor in the Colony, ostensibly as free agents, but really as bondsmen, or little better than such. Further, many of the poor creatures thus inveigled into lengthy and unremuncrative servitude, are virtually kidnapped from their native islands, either by force, or entrapped by false and tempting promises which are never fulfilled. The religious and morul interests of the Colony are, in a particular degree, imby this system, which so closely re:mbles that which has brought such innulerable sufferings upon the American States nd other lands. All the islanders thus iniorted into Queensland are males ; they are pnerally grossly ignorant and licentious; nd hence their condition soon becomes a general social nuisance; when they perceive manner in which they have boon delved, they ajso naturally become resentful d troublesome. But above all, a mostmisievous scandal to the Christian feeling and afession of the Colony is ensuing, in conluence of the compulsory servitude and eked kidnapping of these unfortunate peo- It ierled F Xl KM), JIM, I B*B. senior naval officer on the Australian station, reported to the Governor of Queensland, on the 25th of April, 1567, as follows : -I have lately received reports of the loss of several vessels, and the murder of several Europeans at Hinchinbrook and oilier islands of the New Hebrides group. I enclose an extract from a letter wr.tten by a trader in that group, wherein you will see that he is informed that llie natives say that they are doing these atrocities in revenge for the loss of many of their countrymen who were carried away, three years ago, to Queensland and the Fiji Islands, by Europeans, who hired them as laborers, and promised to return them to their homes in twelve months." A vessel recently arrived at Maryborough in Queensland, bringing a large number of islanders as a speculation. They had been ordered by no one, and were sold by the captain at £!) per head to any one that chose to buy them. Again, a batch o( twenty-six islanders were landed at the Upper Flats in September. The vessel bringing the latter was to have imported sixty instead of twentysix ; but on arriving at the islands her captain found that other ships from Queensland had preceded him, and bad kidnapped those whom he hoped to have secured. The agricultural interest in the Colonial Legislature is very influential, arid seeks to promote the importation of the islanders. With this view a bill has recently been introduced to " regulate and control the introduction and treatment of Polynesian laborers ; " or, in other words, to protect the large agriculturists in their system of imposing engagements fur three years' cheap and servile employment of the " coolies," reserving their wages until the end of the term, and exercising, meantime, compulsory powers of exacting labor under pain of imprisonment. If, as will often happen, the islanders die before the three years terminate, or the employers liecome insolvent, the labor of the former is wholly unremunerated. In a lecture on this subject, recently delivered at Brisbane by Mr. K. Short, he mentioned instances where the naked backs of the islanders had been beaten freely by the Queensland overseer to make them work luster. Again, at the Bowen Police Court, Queensland, in October, 1867, nine island coolies " were brought before the magis"trate by their employer, on a charge of illegally quitting his service. In defense the men pleaded that they had been badly fed, and forced to work on Sundays. The charge was ultimately withdrawn, inasmuch as tho employer admitted that he had failed to feed his men according to agreement. The latter were, however, compelled to return to their work, and were cautioned that in case of further refusal to serve, they would be committed to Rockhampton Jail. One of the men had been .suffering from fever and ngue for ■ fortnight, but it did not appear that the least provision for the needs of licknaN had been made. The good people of Queensland are abundantly warranted in their opposition to this Polynesian "coolie " system, by the experience of a similar system in British Guiana and elsewhere. Speaking of Guiana, the Colonist of March last says " With regard to the moral state of the people, it is almost Captain J. l\ Luce, of H. M.'s S. Esk, the appalling to contemplate the amount of iin- : 53 morality which exists ; and to those who are engaged in the diffusion of education, and the instilling of the principles of Christianity into the minds of the mass of the people, the work at times must appear almost impossible to be overtaken. Amongst the mass of the people lo whom we refer, sensuality is ram>.'j nt in both sexes. Marriage as an instituItion does not exist. Affection for wife or family hns no force. As we walk the streets our ears are perpetually assailed with profane and indecent language, even out of the mouths almost of babes and sucklings." These affecting statements are fully con- firmed by the account of Guinna and its coolies, published by the Rev. Robert Duff, the senior minister of the Church of Scotland in British Guiana. The advocates of the coolie system in Queensland plead that the warmth of the climate renders compulsory labor by colored natives an unavoidable necessity. To this argument it is justly replied that the Syrians, the Persians, and other energetic nations mentioned ir the Bible, were white men, and lived in climates ns hot as, and even hotter than Queensland. Again, Texas, Buenos Ayres. Monte Video and Banda Oriental arc countries quite as hot as Queensland, and the white settlers in those regions do not find themselves unable to work. A very convincing and practical reply to this objection is further afforded by the strong opposition to coolie importation manifested by the poorer classes of European immigrants in Queensland. Thus, when one of the oppressed coolies recently assaulted an overseer and broke his nose, the incident excited expressions of general satisfaction amongst the white laborers in the vicinity. The latter clearly perceive that cheap (and often wholly unpaid) coolie labor will be the degradation and ruin of tha white immigrant. Speaking on this point, a local pro-slavery journal remarks that " those who would throw the slightest obstacle in the way of the introduction of island labor should clear out, and go to some place which suits them better, and where the whites will not come." Very naturally the independent British immigrants in Queensland object to "clear out" in this compulsory manner from the fertile land of their adoption. But their op- ponents are wealthy and influential; and at present the danger is great that a virtual slavery will be established in the young and hitherto free Colony which, in honor of our gracious Sovereign, was named Queensland. It is to be hoped that the matter will receive the earnest attention of the Home Government, and that especially Christian and philanthropic persons in Great Britain will seek for means of sustaining the efforts of the band of good men (none too numerous) who in that distant Colony are seeking to preserve the religion, the morals and the free privileges of their hind from the oppressions of a ruthless avarice. The interests of the Church of Christ, o( the honor of English colonization, of the white race and of the black, are alike concerned in this important question; and we pray God Almighty to bless every exertion which may be made to remove from the people of Queensland the serious danger which now threatens to blight the religious and social prospects of their whole community.— Christian Work. �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1868. 54 City of Osaka, Japan. In the Japan Gazette of March 2"7th we find the following notice of Osaka, a city of 350,000 inhabitants: The commercifrl part of Osaka is of most importance to foreigners. Here are to be found streets of bankers—some establishments as large ns the Bank of England ; drapers with houses containing the fabrics of all nations. In one concern 1 entered they have 300 assistants. In all directions were to be seen Japanese youths nnd men, some with books busy writing, others smoking pipes, others looking nt me. They took me up to the first floor. I sat down and asked to *cc some crapes. They were brought up from a godown below. On inquiry why they did not have them exposed to view, they replied that it was the custom of the house to keep them in the godown to be secure in case of fire. I was permitted to ex- amine the goilowns, eight in number, each devoted to a different class of goods. Among the merchandise were to be seen foreign velvets, carpets, shirtings, camlets, etc. The same firm, or company as 1 imagine it to be, has an establisment of similnr extent, both in Kioto and Yedo. Passing out. I traversed streets in one of which are none but book-sellers ; in another on both sides of the way. shops filled with tobacco pipes ; in another rows of carpenters' tool sellers. From this is entered a town of building materals, and presently a town of rice merchants and dealers. Then there are streets of theatres, some capable of holding 1,000 people. I entered the largest; it was full of men, women and children. It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and many of the audience appeared to be men of business who could afford to waste the best part of the day. In a second theatre 1 went into, an elderly man amused a large audience with witty and laughable readings. Among the audience were vendors of all kinds of edibles hot and cold, consisting of rice, fish, eggs, smoking hot and The bridges are plain, made of wood, in ! JutkoTity. number about 400.

Tins ultimate fact—this generalization, carried into the doctrine of missions, simplifies a cliaos of facts and doctrines,—as true generalizations always do. This is the pole, round which the missionary work revolves—this the central fact, on the radii from which every other will find its natural 23. demanded of all missionary teaching that it tend directly to the religious education and to the conversion of the pupils ; and the test as to the different methods of teaching is their success in bringing to Jesus as the Saviour from sin. (4.) The Preparation and Circulation of Christian Literature is another of the great agencies. It is the impersonal method. In consequence of the almost entire absence of the personal element from the printed page, there is a loss of power, except in a limited number of cases where that absence is a gain. Reading is the method by which mind whispers to mind with the minimum of material and personal intervention. It is the arrow flying after having passed beyond the sight of the archer. Christian literature is to the place. The command of Jesus is our authority 1. The question as to the agencies to be for discinling all nations.

The population numbers between four and five thousand, so that they have one ordained American missionary to about two thousand souls. This we should be obliged to pronounce a force disproportionately large, considering its efficiency, but for the fact that Ponape is the point from which we must push Micronesian native agency westward as far as lap and Pelew. Half the people are now numbered with the Christian party, and some seven hundred can read God's Word. Seven houses of worship are standing, besides two which have been destroyed—one by wind, and one by the torch of an incendiary chief. Nearly four hundred are hopefully converted by Jesus' power, one hundred and seventy-eight of whom have been admitted to the church. The brethren are anxious to this year make explorations westward, and are preparing, with well advised belief in the doctrine of our text, to station some of their converts who are being especially educated for teachers, on some of the groups further towards the setting sun. More has been accomplished on Ponape by the*power of Jesus that when the walls of Jericho fell, or than when the sun stood still upon Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon. We make no further application of our subject. The thoughts which have been presented regarding the best modes of working with Jesus in the foreign missionary fields, and the facts given regarding his help vouchsafed in the Marquesan and Micronesian Islands, will, we trust, assist us all the coming missionary year to a more vigorous, humble and individual consecration to foreign and home works for and with Jesus—that name which is above every name, at which every knee shall yet bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth ; and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Gulick reports regarding the temale Seminary at Waialua, Oahu,that there have been connected with the school the past year 78 different pupils. The highest number attained at any time, and which was the number from June to March, was 75. The present number is 74. Of these 26 are from Hawaii; 21 from Maui; 23 from Oahu ; 3 from Kauai, and 1 from Micronesia. One has married during the year, and one has left to teach school at Lihue, Kauai. One pupil has been expelied, and one has died during the year. The one mentioned above as married, and another who is engaged to be married, are under appointment as missionaries of this Board to Micro- nesia. Eight have made a profession of religion during the year, making a total of 29 out of the 78 above mentioned, who are church members. The graduating class in June will number ten. The principal improvement made upon the premises the past year has been the erection of a two-storied school house, at a cost of $1,200 from our own treasury. The American Board have very kindly allowed for the year 1868 82,150, besides $450 for the Principal of the school. Mr. and Mrs. Gulick, assisted by Miss E. W.

The Alaula had during its second volume ending in March, a circulation of 2,647, while during the first year it circulated 3,826. We fenr that the third volume recently commenced has a still more reduced list, though it is not too late even now for the pastors to bring it up, by vigorous efforts. The request made us by the Sabbath School Association of last year that we issue a new book of hymns and tunes ffJr children, has been in substance met by the beautiful music now printed in each number of the Alaula, and which ought to make the paper indispensable to every Hawaiian Sabbath school. The new edition of the Bible, we are sorry to say, has not yet arrived, but we may expect a number of copies in a few days. The American Bible Society has very generously consented to prepare the plates of a pocket edition of the Hawaiian Testament, under the supervision of the Rev. E. W. Clark. Mr. Clark is making good progress in the translation of the American Tract Society's Dictiooary of the Holy Bible." The Ha"waiian shurches are under deep obligations to him for the patient labors he is performing for them in preparing, revising and proofreading for the press. The Rev. J. F. Poguc has prepared an extensive commentary on Matthew, which is in the hands of a committee for revision, and which is very desirable for the Hawaiian student. The Rev. B. W. Parker has performed perhaps about half the labor of preparing the American Tract Society's Bible Test Book " for the press, and we have recently requested the Rev. Dr. Smith to carry it to completion as he may have strength and leisure.

The new Morning Star left on her first voyage to the west on the 1st of July, 1867. She explored the southern part of the Gilbert Islands, visited all our mission stations in Micronesia, and reached Honolulu January 24th, 1868. The reports of her exploration and voyaging have been so fully published in the Frieiid of March, and in the Kuohoa of February and March, that we need but refer to those papers. The Gilbert Island and Marshall Island Missions each held a formal meeting, as we desired, and sent us full reports of their doings. So did the American missionaries of the Marshall Islands and Ponape hold a meeting of their number as a separate mission at Ponape. » Kanoa and Maka have returned with their families to Butaritari under very favorable auspices. Their property was carefully preserved during their absence, and the King of the island has explained and apologized by letter to His Majesty Kamehameha V., saying that his violence was committed when drunk. The missionary vessel Evening Star, built by the children of California, has been sold �SUPPLEMENT TO Tfl E FRIEND, JULY, 1868. for $723 53. Experience has shown us ihat smaller and lighter craft is the most serviceable at this stage of our work. We are consequently furnishing our different stations with boats. No less than four boats are already in use in the Gilbert Islands, viz : the Alfred, Soso, Star of Peace, and the Evening Star 2d, named after the California donation just sold, and another large surfboat was last year sent to Ebon., Still other boats are already called for, and will be from time to time supplied. It is hoped that the owners of the first Evening Star will be satisfied with the change, by winch their one vessel gives place to a whole fleet of very useful, and indeed indispensable, missionary boats, which have already cost very nearly the sum for which their vessel lias been sold. Many of the churches in Micronesia show a spirit of liberality which speaks well for the genuineness of their Christianity. The oil received from the sale of books shows increasing thrift. We tabulate the receipts as a preached word which we had hoped. We rejoice to learn of more hopeful indications upon Apaiang on the arrival of the Morning Star. It i» also a matter for gratitude that the way is open for the safe return of Kanoa and Maka to Butaritari. " We are not able to report so definitely of the work upon the Marshall Islands as we could wish. Mr. Snow and his family left Ebon for Kusaie about the middle of last February. Up to that time there had not been the usual interest in schools, though the attendance and attention to the preached word were perceptibly on the increase. The Sabbath schools were flourishing. After Mr. Snow left, there was a sad rupture in the church, by which a considerable portion of it left the main body, eschewing the Hawaiian teachers. It is to be hoped they will be led to see their wrong and return to love and 63 That nine meeting houses have been built, which also serve as school houses, shows that 'church building' is receiving good attention on the island. The first and best of these passed away before the torch of a hostile, drunken chief. The next best fell to pieces before the violence of the wind, showing that exemption from the violence of man or the destructive elements of Nature is not always the allotment of a superintending Providence. The one hundred and seventysixchurch members fail to represent the hopefully religious state of the people. Perhaps as many more are as worthy of church membership as most of those who are already members. " The proportion of decidedly hopeful cases is proportionably less on the other parts of our field than upon Ponape. So also, the four hundred and fifty-nine who have been received to all our churches from the first, do not indicate nil that has been wrought by the saving power of the Gospel during these fifteen years of missionary labor in Micronesia." duty.

It is as yet undecided what is the proper legal standing of a foreign sailor on board an American vessel. Consuls and the State Department have fairly " boxed the compass" in their treatment of these men. Sometimes consuls have made no distinction between foreign and native-born seamen ; at other times a foreign sailor stood no chance whatever of fair treatment. At present, we believe that consuls rule that all seamen who ship at a home port are to be treated as good Americans, although they may have been born in Congo, China or Iceland. The State Department and consuls appear to be somewhat in the fog upon the real status of a foreign sailor, when he ships on, board a merchant ship or whaler sailing under the United States flag. In former years we have argued this question at length. {Vide Priend for April Ist, 18G1; Janunry Ist, 1962, and February Ist, 1567.) The only correct doctrine upon this subject v\e believe to be that ol President Jefferson, who remarked : '• That the vessel, being American, shall be evidence that the seamen on board are such." This principle the great jurist Daniel Webster thus enunciated : That in every retru- " larly documented merchant vessel, seamen shall find their protection in the flag which is over them." This is good sound American doctrine, and harmonizes with justice and common sense, but we are sorry that the State Department and United States consuls do not feel at liberty to apply these principles to foreign seamen shipped on board American vessels. The Secretary of the Navy and all naval officers apply these principles to all foreign seamen shipping in the navy. Now why the same principles should not apply to merchant seamen, we fail to see. If there were sufficient American native-born seamen to man our merchant marine, we could see some'plausibility for this treatment of foreign seamen. It is well known that if 65 {(DftStrits, M. 21. Another John Brown. John Brown, an American gentleman " residing in Valparaiso, Chile, has loaned that city $250,000 in gold for internal improvements. The history of Mr. Brown is a remarkable instance of the force and perseverance of the Yankee character. It is but a few years ago that he landed at Valparaiso from a ship where he had worked as one of the crew, and with nothing but the clothes he hud on, commenced work as a journeyman carpenter. To-day his property is valued at $5,000,000. He has nn interesting family, lives in princely comfort, and stands at the head of social and financial affairs of Chile."

IMihT, 1868. 66 Established. Through the correspondence ol Colonel Spaulding, United States Consul, and Acting Minister Resident,■an important principle has been settled in regard to the rights of American seamen. Knowing howegregiously ■eamen have been wronged in former years through the illegal exactions of United States consuls and the wrong interpretation of United States laws relating to the discharge and shipping of si'tiinen, we shall spread the simple facts before our renders, for the benefit of all concerned. Not only are seamen and shipmasters concerned, but the honor of the United States Government is concerned. Here we would remark that whenever we have known questions to be referred to the Government at Washington, decisions have always been made favorable to the sailor. The Government desires to do the honorable and right thing by the sailor, but the difficulty has been with the consuls. The recent decision of the State Department is so»important, that we shall state the case fully and fairly. When seamen are discharged, the consul requires that three months extra wages shall be deposited with him to defray his hospital expenses, and assist in returning the said seaman to the United States. But if the sailor, while in port, does not require hospital treatment or other aid, then two-thirds of the amount deposited is returned to the sailor, projkk'd he ships on a vessel bound to the UnitewStates or a home port; one-third retained to form a fund to assist in supporting and sending home other seamen when sick and destitute. For many years United States consuls at this port have ruled that one consul was not accountable for what his predecessor had done, and hence a new consul would not refund the two months extra wages when called for by the sailor on shipping for a home port. We have no hesitation in asserting that this money has been withheld in hundreds of in■tancef during the last twenty years. Sailor's Rights Consuls have also ruled that the sailor should not receive his money unless he shipped in some vessel bound direct to a home port. A vessel might sail for the United States via China or some intermediate port, but in that case the consul would not pay over the amount. Some months ago, a sailor discharged at Honolulu in 1866 was about to leave. When discharged he paid $36, or the three months extra wages, into the Consulate. At that time A. Caldwell, Esq., was Consul. Since that date General Smith has officiated as Consul, and he has been succeeded by Consul Spaulding. The sailor had resided in Honolulu, engaged in an honorable employment, but had been at no expense to the Consulate. When about to leave, he calls for the amount due him, *IM. Colonel Spaulding, following the traditional ruling of his predecessors, declines to refund the amount. It wns a case so manifestly in violation of the spirit of what we regarded a fair interpretation of the "Consul's Manual," that we called upon the Consul in the sailor's behalf. The result wns that Colonel Spaulding offered to refer the case to the State Department at Washington. As the sailor was about to sail, he left an order (or the money, which we have received and now hold subject to his direction. Honolulu, March 25th, IS6B. United States Consul. Please pay to Key. S. C. Damon the two months extra wages to which I am entitled, having been discharged from the bark D. C. Murray, of San Francisco, in December, 1565. Edwakd Dunscombe. The case was duly referred to the State Department, and we are most happy to announce the fact, for the sailor's benefit, and also for the benefit of all other sailors discharged at Honolulu, or ariy other port foreign to the United States, that the Consul has received instructions Jrvm the State Department authorizing him, when the records oftlie Consulate show that money is due to discharged seamen, and tluxl the Government his been credited with the amount so due by any of his predecessors, to pay the same, and cliarge the United States Government t/tsre- with. We would furthermore state that the Consul is not allowed to retain the money, although the ship on board of which the sailor may have shipped may touch at an intermediate port on her voyage or passage to some port in the United States. We would here duly make mention of Colonel Spaulding's courtesy in writing to Washington, and thus causing to lie settled a question of immense importance to nil American seamen. Most sincerely do we hope the State Department at Washington will send a circular to all United States consuls and commercial agents throughout the world, embodying an extract from this recent dispatch to Colonel Spaulding. This decision will form a precedent which, if followed by United States officials, will serve to remedy nn old and most iniquitous abuse, which has resulted in .defrauding the honest sailor out of his just dues. If the money thus unjustly kept back had gone into the United States treasury, it would redeem former consuls of a portion of the odium that must fall upon their official acts. It is well known that in many instances this money has been taken away by the consuls. It is with no pleasure that we make such allusions. We do it, however, that their successors in office may be led to do justly by the sailor, whose interests they are bound to respect and care for. The duty of consuls in regard to seamen is most plain. In the " Consul's Manual" it. is stated, One essential object of the consular appointment is the protection of American mariners— a class of our fellow citizens whose habits ot life require a kind guardianship of their persons and interests in foreign countries." " New Edition of the Hawaiian Bible. Several years ago the preliminary steps were taken for a new and revised edition of the Hawaiian Bible. The Key. li. W. Clarkhas spent two or more years in New York reading and correcting the proof-sheets of the new edition us it bus been printed and electrotyped by the American Bible Society. A partial supply has already been received, nnd more are on the way around Cape Horn. We have examined the book, and find the style of printing and binding all that could be desired. It is a noble work. The American Bible Society have most generously given (he electrotype plates, costing over ten thousand dollars ($10,000.) Hereafter it is to be hoped that Hawaiians will so much prize the Sacred Scriptures that they will pay the expense of printing and binding. The most expensive style will be sold for $12, and the cheapest for 83 per copy. The New Testament is printed separately, and in a style most admirably suited for the use of schools. This edition is accompanied with marginal references. The Bible, complete, has now been printed in the Tahitian, Samoan, Rorotongan, Tongan, Fijian and Hawaiian dialects—all branches of the Polynesian language. Portions of the Bible have also been printed in the Marquesan, New Zealand, Gilbert Island, Marshall Island, Ponapean and Strong's Island languages. To accomplish this enterprise has required an amount of literary and linguistical labor, which can scarcely be appreciated except by those who have spent years in acquiring a foreign language, and additional years in the work of patient translation and revision ; yet all this has been done exclusively by the Puritan missionaries (English nnd American) in the Pacific, besides all their other labors. A Continental Sabbath.—An American clergyman visiting Berlin, says that an American cannot pnss the streets on the Sabbath day without having his religious feelings shocked. Business of all kinds is carried on as on other days in the morning, nnd in the nfternoon the people rush to the theatres, operas, beer-gardens, and other places of amusement. And this is the institution that many of our foreign population wish transferred, and naturalized upon American soil, in defiance of the law of God, " Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy." most Agriculture is the most useful, the healthful and most noble employment of man.— Washington. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1868. 67 Islands for the year 1859.

Neal & Crowinshield, 6 Central street, Boston, that Port Chalmers, N. '/,., has been made a free port for whaling vessels.

We, the Editor, nnd we, a few passengers, landed on the morning of July 15th on the very spot where Capt. Cook was killed on the 14th of February, 1779. It is a reinurkable place. Although there were weak points in Cook's character, which must forever detract from that hero worship which the world will ever pay to the name of England's great navigator, yet his career, voyages and tragical death render his name immortal. As a navigutor, he stands next to Columbus. His three voyages to the Pacific form an important crisis in modern geographical discoveries. It is just one hundred years this very summer since he sailed on his first voyage. During the following (en years lie prosecuted his discoveries throughout this vast ocean with a zeal, perseverance and success that led to the most astonishing results in science, commerce and foreign missions. He discovered a vast number of islands throughout the South Seas, opened the door for thousands and tens of thousands of European colonists to settle in New Holland, Van Dicman's Land, and subsequently in New Zealand and other places, besides discovering the Hawaiian Islands and exploring the Northwest Coast, and thereby opening up a trade to Americans, Englishmen and Russians. Referring to Cook's surveys of islands, reefs and shoals, we once heard an old sea captain remark, that when Cook put down his stakes, there was no need of addi- " I; Ml. U (il ST. I8« 8. appeared highly appropriate that a suitable monument should be erected to his memory. In former yAirs we have frequently exp**sed this opinion. Hnving heard much said respecting the recent attempt at erecting *aucli a monument, we felt exceedingly anxious to see what had been accomplished. When once seen, we think any beholder would exclaim, "What, that Cook's Monument!" Beport says those who built the same have never been paid, as it was not completed according to contract. Already has it commenced to crumble. Most sincerely do we hope the enterprise will not be abandoned until a suitable and becoming monument shall be erected on the spot. Even :t simple marble slab attached to the bold bluff, or ■ granitepillar with suitable inscriptions, would not be inappropriate. In musing over the singular reluctance which litis been apparently manifest in thus marking the spot, we sometimes have been led to ask,—Could the conduct of Capt. Cook towards the aborigines antl his allowing divine honors to have been paid to himself have had any influence in deterring his countrymen or the British Government from erecting a monument ? There can be no doubt the public mind in England and throughout the civilized world, very soon after the publication of the volumes containing an account of his voyages, settled down upon the conviction or impression that Capt. Cook's moral nnd religious perceptions were low and obtuse. That he suffered himself to be worshiped its a god, there can be no doubt. This fact is clearly patent to the most careless reader of tho narrative ns given by Capt. King after Cook's death. He often refers to the adoration paid to Cook. In one paragraph he represents Cook as " seated between two wooden idols," and in that situation as being approached by the priests offering their sacrifices nnd offerings. In another paragraph he remarks that when Cook landed from his ship, he was preceded by a priest, crying "Oronohos landed," and ordering the people "to prostrate themselves." Such conduct on Cook's part merits the severest reprehension. What appears to be a great weakness on his part, and as manifesting an utter want of common sense, when he desired to obtain wood to burn on board his vessels, he actually demolishes the very temple, or heiau, where he had been worshiped as a god ! As compensation, he only offers two or three hatchets. These were utterly spurned by those heathen priests. Cook, however, did not desist from taking away the wood of the heiau. This fact we do not learn from Cook's voyages, but from Ledyard's journal. The narrative of the melancholy death of Capt. Cook would not be completc without this journal of John Ledyard, tional calculations." Thoughts of this nature are naturally suggested by visiting the spot where he fell. Events of the last century which have transpired in different parts of this great ocean nre all linked wiih the voyages jind discoveries of Capt. Cook, hence he may appropriately be styled the Great Navigator of England. Perhaps the narrative of no modern or even ancient pavigator has been more extensively read during the last century. It has been translated and published in all the modern languages of Europe. The adventures of Robinson Crusoe are not more cntextaining than the voyages and discoveries of Capt. Cook. In reading the writings of subsequent writers upon r.vents and localities in the Pacific, it is astonishing how much they are obliged to acknowledge their indebtedness to Capt. Cook and his coadjutors. Even the very pictures or drawings of harbors, scenery and people presented in modern books may nearly all be traced to Cook's voyages. The volumes of Cook and Ellis' " Polynesian Researches " form the foundation of Polynesian literature and geographical knowledge. Under these circumstances, it has always I lhe American sailor from Connecticut, who was an cyc-wilness ou that occasion, and of (he men ordered by Cook to demolish the heiau. Ledyard's name does not figure in the " voyages" of Cook, but it has become historical, his lift! having been written by the historian Sparks. The original of Ledyard's journal (we were informed by Lady Franklin when lit Honolulu in IStil) is now deposited in the British Museum. This whole subject of Cook's conduct before his dentil nnd the kind treatment which he had experienced from the natives, is worthy ol serious consideration, and goes far towards exonerating then from blame in the premises. In the course of our reading we have met with a letter »f the Poet ('oW|HT, addressed to tin- Rev. John Newton, relating to Cook's dentil, which merits re-piiblicntioii. On the 9th of October, 1784, Cowper writes Newton thus, after reading Cook's voyages : " The rending of those volume* afforded me much amusement, anil I hope some instruction. No observation however forced itself upon me with more violence than one that I could not. help making on lhe death of Capt. Cook. God is a jealous God, and at Owliyhee the poor man was content to bo worshiped. From that moment the remarkable interposition of Providence in his favor wasconverted iiitonii opposition that thwarted till his purposes. He left the scene of his deification, but wns driven back lo it by a most violent storm, in which he suffered mora than in any that had preceded it. When be departed he left his worshipers still infatuated with an idea of his godship, consequently well disposed to serve him. At his return he found them sullen, distrustful und mysterious. A trifling theft wns committed, which, by a blunder of his own in pursuing the thief after the property had been restored, was magnified into nn nffiiir of the last importance. One of their favorite chiefs was killed too by a blunder. In short, nothing but blunderand mistake attended him, till he fell breathless into the water, and then all was smooth again. The world indeed will not take notice, or see that the dispensation bore evident marks of divine displeasure ; but a mind 1 think in any degree spiritual cannot overlook them. We know from truth itself thut the death of Herod was for a similar offense. But Herod wns in no sense a believer in God, nor had enjoyed half the opportunities with which our poor countryman had been favored. It may be urged perhaps that he wns in jest, thnt he meant nothing but his own nmusement, and that of his compnnions. I doubt it. He knows little of the heart who does not know that even in a sensible man it is flattered by every species of exaltation. But be it so, thnt he was in sport: —it was not humane, to say no worse of it, to sport with the ignorance of his friends, to mock their simplicity, to humor nnd acquiesce in their blind credulity. Besides, though a stock or a stone may be worshiped blnmelcss.a baptized man may not. He knows what he does, and by suffering such honors to be paid him, incurs the guilt of sacrilege."

SEPTKMBKH 1, IBUR. New Bethel at San Francisco—The Rev. J. Rowell, Pastor. We are glad to present our seafaring readothers with a good view of the new chapel in San Francisco. It is a most creditable establishment. The chaplain thus writes us under date of July 15th, 1868: Francisco, July 15, 1868. "lot,Sanwhich The is 89J by 50 feet in size, " is entirely covered by the building. The whole of the lower story is occupied by the public school department, and 150 to 200 children gathered from our water front, receive there equal educational advantages with the other children of the city. In the second story, the pastor's study is in the tower corner, and the Sabbath-school room occupies the rest of the front. The audience room, in the rear of this, is 65 by 46 feet in size, and when seated according to the plan, will accommodate 450 to 500 persons. The lot cost $10,000, and is now worth much more than this. The building, when finished and paid for, will have cost ejs and about $12,500, of which $8,000 must yet be raised. We are using the seats and pulpit from our old church, being unwilling to put in the new until we are able to pay for them. It is a very comfortable house, and we think that Jack has no reason to be ashamed of it. Our plan is, whenever we shall be out of debt, to fit up the front part of the lower story for a reading room." t We heartily rejoice in this effort on the part of the friends of seamen in San Francisco to erect so handsome and suitable a church edifice for the worship of God. We sincerely hope all our seafaring readers and friends visiting that port, will visit the new Bethel. Elliot's Bible, and only one Man who can Read it.—lt has been often asserted that no one could read Elliot's translation of the Bible into the Algonquin dialect, spoken by the Indians of New England in the 17th century. It appears., however, that the Hon. Mr. Trumbull, State Librarian, residing in Hartford, Ct., is an accomplished amateur scholar in the Algonquin dialect, and that he can not only read the Bible and books published in that dialect, but has actually prepared a dictionary of over seven thousand words in the same. A copy of Elliot's Bible was recently sold in New York for $1,130. Only a few copies are now in existence. We remember once to have seen a- copy preserved in the Antiquarian Library in Worcester, Massachusetts. Only two editions were ever printed, the first in 1663, of one thousand copies, and the second in 1685, of two thousand copies. returning, we sailed from Hilo around Kohala, touching at Kmvaihae. It was in every respect a most pleasant and agreeable summer vacation and excursion. We do not propose to publish an itinerary journal in the style of Xenophon's Anabasis, or Dr. Johnson's famous " tour to the Hebrides," or Ellis' " tour through Owhyhee " in 1822 ; but as an editor, we could not possibly visit those mythologic, historic, classic, volcanic and missionary regions without jotting down some few remarks for the perusal of our readers. Although tolerably well read up upon the history of these Islands, and especially upon Hawaii, yet as we paced along over those regions so replete with facts pertaining to geology and other sciences, how deeply we sighed for the knowledge of some of those masters in scientific reSear/:h, who may be said, in the language of the great Leibnitz, to drive all the sciences abreast," " but Brigham's geological lectures are a valuable assistance. In the regions around Kealakekua Bay. we visited the famous battleground where Kamehameha the Great conquered his foes and became " lord of all he surveyed," or king of the whole group, and also the spot where the battle was fought which decided the fate of the old tabu system. Neither did we fail to inspect the " City of Refuge," Ho. naunau, really one of the most remarkable places on these Islands. The huge walls of the city yet remain almost entire, and there they will remain for ages. We did not count the number of keiaus which we visited. Ellis somewhere remarks that in 1822, there were no less than twenty-eeven or twentyeight scattered along the shore from Kailua �74 to Kaawalon, a I HX FRIEND. SEPTEMBER, 1868. fourteen miles. At Kahuku we rode over the recent lavaflow, where the steam, und smoke are still issuing from the fissures, cracks and crevices. At Kapapala we rode over the mud-flow, or land slide. At Honuapo and Punaluu we rode over the regions swept by the tidal waves of April 2d. While at the volcano of Kilauea. it was our privilege to witness an exhibition of Pele's pyrotechnic and volcanic agency, such as is quite rara, even in those regions shaken by earthquakes, rent by convulsions, and almost constantly presenting some new feature of volcanic action. At the time of our visit to the crater of Kilauea, July 27th and 28th, there were two hikes. One was situated much lower than theother. The south or large lake was quite active. Seven or eight cones were sending forth immense quantities of lava. From the largest issued two streams, which flowed down a precipice of some fifty feet in height towards the lower lake. The lava in the lower lake surged and dashed against the rock-bound sides of the crater with fearful violence, as apparent from the ledge projecting nearly over the lake. We could not see the lake itself, but it was visited a day or two previous by President Alexander and Captain Makee's party. Subsequent visitors following in only two or three days, report that scarcely any fire was visible. So quiet had the crater suddenly become, that visitors, aye, timid ladies, walked over the lake and ascended the cones, to catch, if possible, a slight view of the fiery regions below. We rejoice that they gratified their curiosity and made a successful retreat, for Pele might suddenly have become angry (kuhu) and punished them most fearfully for their temerity, und we hope the ladies will pardon us if we style it rashness. It is a great wonder that, as yet, do fisitor at Kilauea has lost his life, although some have barely escaped. We cannot bid farewell to the crater without complimenting the keeper of the Volcano House for his good fare, good fire and excellent accommodations. Having previously visited the volcano (in 1844,1855 and 1862) and experienced an untold amount of discomfort and inconvenience, it was a real luxury to be greeted by a " Celestial cook (representing " mine host"), whose face was wreathed in smiles, and whose vivid description of the volcano and earthquakes in " Canton English," was as good as a comedy of " Shakespeare. Earthquake Experiences. distance of only twelve or Among the luxuries of the season, there was an abundance of strawberries and milk at the Volcano House. In other parts of our columns will be found brief notices of Hilo and the regions around. ZZF A good eximple is the best sermon. The foreign and native inhabitants of the districts of Hilo, Puna, Kau and Kona are gradually recovering from the mental shock and the material losses occasioned by the earthquakes of last April. From what we have observed and the accounts of those who were upon the ground and experienced the terrible shock to their minds and nervous systems, we do not think the published narratives were exaggerated. The loss of property was very great. We have passed over the sites in Kau where the villages of Honuapo and Punaluu were situated. Not a house remains in either place. In Punaluu the site was pointed out to us as we rode along, where the Protestant church once stood. Not a timber remains. In conversing with scores who experienced the great shock of April 2d, it was interesting to listen to the account of the sad affair by different classes. Every one can state exactly where he was and how occupied at the precise moment when the shock occurred. One man remarked that he "was driving about fifty head of cattle from Kau to Hilo. He was near the volcano, and instantly the whole herd of cattle wheeled around and faced him. They stood trembling with fear. The earth appeared to move like the waves of the sea." A lady living near where the mud-flow occurred, remarked that "she caught her children and lay down upon the ground. The shaking of the earth, the slide of earth from the hills, the distant tidal wave, all indicated that they were about to be swallowed up." SINGULAR PHENOMENON. Flaming, or Labor-Saving Invention. If in any one Tespect the present age surpasses ages which have preceded, it is in the discovery of methods for saving labor, or in making steam, wind, water-power, or some other agencies do the work of man and beast. Steam is estimated by its amount of horse-power. During our visit at Hilo we witnessed the operation of Jluming on the sugar plantations in that vicinity, which is worthy of attention and a respectful notice in the Scie/itijic American, or some other publication devoted to the advancement of the mechanic arts or physical sciences. " Necessity is the mother of invention," says the old proverb. Now necessity compelled (he sugar planters in the vicinity of Hilo to contrive some method for dispensing with the use ol the cart and oxen in transporting the cane to the mill and the wood from the forest to the furnace. In this region the soil is deep, rains are übundant, and the food for working bullocks very poor. Under these disadvantageous circumstances, it became a serious question with planters—what can be done to dispense with the use of ox-teams and carts ? On the Onomea plantation the railroad, with cars, was tried; but that was expensive, dangerous, and not very satisfactory. At length the suggestion was made to try Jluming. In this region the cane-lands lie sloping towards the sea, on an angle of sor 6 degrees. All the plantations are supplied with numerous streams of water, rendering it comparatively easy to divert these streams into small troughs, or flumes, extending over the hills and through the cane-fields. It is now only necessary to cut the cane and put it into these flumes, nnd with very little labor it is conveyed to the mill. Now five or six men will do the work of twenty carts, with four or five men to a cart, and withal so easy and safe. Eventually every plantation in this region will adopt this method of transporta- fact that while down over walls were thrown half of the Hawaii, houses churches pushed island of and shakfoundations, and a general from their volcano, the house at the directions, ing in all situated on the very brink of the crater, remained uninjured.

As we advanced towards Halemaumau, or the active pit, the rainbow receded until it came and stood over the boiling and fiery crater, exactly spanning the chasm. It was so distinct that a second bow was visible. Our thoughts were involuntarily directed to this striking phenomenon as the token of the covenant when God said to Noah : " This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations; 1 do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth." (Genesis 9:12, 13.) There appeared this token in all its original beauty, undimmed by age, a perpetual pledge lhat God would not again destroy the earth by a flood of waters. Underneath lhat beautiful and symmetrical arch there was another token. It was a fiery token.. The heaving, surging, boiling lava, was a token of God's other covenant that He would destroy this earth by the fiuming would not probably exceed, under agency of fire. Thus discourseth the Aposordinary circumstances, $1,000 per mile, and tle Peter in his second epistle : " The world with care the flume will last for years.

To convey this amount of wood in the same space of time would require fifty carts drawn by four oxen each, with two men to each cart. It will readily appear that the saving is very great. We arc inclined to the opinion that, considering the increased cost of laljor and the enormous expense attending the " wear and tear " of carts and oxen, that had not the system of fiuming been introduced, some of the Hilo plantations would have been abandoned. The labor and expense of cultivation would have absorbed all the profits and left a large deficit unprovided for.

It has long been our desire to spend a Sabbath among Hawaiian Christians at some station where there was settled a native pastor, unassisted by any foreign missionary. This opportunity we enjoyed during our partial tour around Hawaii on our arrival at Keaiwa, situated about midway between the volcano of Kilauea and the southern part of tti2 island. The church edifice is situated within one mile of the recent mud-flow which has attracted so much attention. In order to enjoy the privilege of a quiet Sabbath at this place, we halted in our journey, and spent one day in riding over the region overspread bytliis remarkable land slide or mudflow. The church is situated in the open country, with only one native house in sight besides that of the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Kauhane. On the morning of July 26th, at " the hour of prayer," about half-past nine o'clock, we walked from our lodgings to the church. Having repeatedly passed the church during the previous week, the thought was often suggested, from whence can this church be filled with hearers, for the region appears uninhabited ! To our great surprise, on entering the church, we found the pastor engaged in teaching s Bible class, composed of more than one hundred adults. In the schoolhouse near the church there was a Sabbathschool of about twenty-five children. The pastor questioned his people upon the leading facts of interest, as stated in the 4th, sth and 6th chapters.of Genesis. The congregation assembled at 11 A. M. When every seat in the church was occupied, the number of hearers was over two hundred. A more attentive audience #ye have seldom witnessed. The services were conducted in the usual Congregational order. The pastor commanded the altention of his audience, although not speaking in the usual animated and gesticulating style so common among Hawaiian*. He discoursed from the text, Ephesians 5:8 : " For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in'the Lord ; walk as children of the light" We noticed that the preacher assisted his memory by glancing at a brief .skeleton of his discourse. On retiring from the church, we asked him for his « notes," when he gave �76 Til us a slip of paper, of which this is the translation : t Ephesiuns 5:8.

Two weeks after our departure the island association was to meet at this place, and the meroben were to be entertained l>y the Rev. Mr. Itauhane. The chiireli and parish have recently been severely alllicted by the terrible earthquakes which have shaken Hawaii. Ten of the thirty-one destroyed by the mud-flow were members of this church, hence about onetenth of the church-members perished. We rode over the very spot where their houses stood, and where, up to the moment when the earthquakes and mud-flow occurred on the 2d of April, they were living in apparent security. Not a timber ur vestige now remains of their dwellings. It so happened that the Rev. Mr. Kauhanc saw the catastrophe At the moment, for security he lay upon the ground in front of the parsonage, ami was looking towards the mountain, or hill, about one mile distant, when the terrible earthquake detuched earth, rocks, trees, &c, from the brow of the high cliff, sufficient lo cover a space two'and a half miles long, and irom half to three-fourths of a mile wide. The work of destruction took pluce in about three minutes. It wus our privilege to ride over the flow with the Rev. Mr. Kauhanc, and he pointed out the very spot where a tenth part of his church was instantly buried with earth, and where their bodies will rest until " the dead shall hear the voice of tho Son of God ; mid they that hear shall live." We look back upon the Sabbath paeeed among the people at Keaiwn, Kau,as one of the most pleasant and profitable among the Sabbaths of our earthly pilgrimage. If all native churches will compare luvorably with this, then wo would say the Puritan Mission to the Sandwich Islands has not been a failure.

The attention of the community being so much interested at the present time in the subject of volcanic eruptions, we think many of our readers will peruse with interest the following narrative of a submarine volcano which broke out in September, 1866, near the Samoan or Navigator Islands, in the South Pacific. This account has never been published in any of our Island newspapers, but is the copy of a letter written by the Rev. Dr. G. Turner, an English missionary, and addressed to a friend in Scotland. Dr. Turner is the well-known author of one of the very best books on Polynesia, entitled. " Nineteen Years in Polynesia." We are indebted to Dr. Turner himself for sending us a few weeks ago, a printed copy of this letter. " The precise locality of this new submarine volcpiio will ere long be carefully ascert lined. Meanwhile I should set it down as being about 169° 25' west longitude from Greenwich, and 14 ° 15' south latitude. It is right between the islands of Olosenga and Tau, about 1J miles from the former and 3i miles from the latter. It is of importance to spread this information as soon as possible. Even if this volcano becomes extinct, it will probably leave a dangerous shonl. It is the very place about which whaling and trading vessels touching at these islands for supplies and produce have been accustomed to sail. Only two months before one of our British ships of war (H. M. S. Brisk) was there, and the very month before the eruption there was a large ship there with .lOO Chinese 'emigrants' (slaves) on board. It would be a very sad thing for a vessel to be ensnared by any such shoal or volcanic torpedo. " Although all the islands of our Samoan group are of volcanic origin, there is hardly a tradition even of volcanic action. " I must hasten to tell you of a visit I* had two days ago from one of our teachers who labors in the most easterly island of our group, about 120 miles from this. He has come all this distance in his boat to get some pastoral advice, and also to inform us of a volcano which has taken them all by surprise. From what he says, I have gleaned the following particulars of tlfe appearance of a new submarine volcano in the straits between the islands of Tau and Olosenga, the most easterly islands of our group. On some charts, Manua is laid down as the general name of these small islands, which it really is. On the 7th of September last, the natives of Tau and Olosenga were surprised by an unusual succession of earthquakes—there would be three and four in the course of an hour. During the night of the 9th, there were in all 39 shocks. There was only a slight tremulous motion, but its continuance, together with an unusual subterranean groaning,' as the natives called it, alarmed everybody. They knew nothing of volcanic action in the group from personal experience, or the traditions of their ancestors. Their islands, however, are all volcanic. On the 12th of September, a little after noon, a commotion was observed in the deep blue sou, ' 1868. about a mile and a half from Olosenga, and three and a halffrom Tau. It appeared like surf breaking over a sunken rock. Some thought it might be a whale blowing, and others that it was a shoal of bonilo. This unusual commotion continued nil day, and by the following morning at daylight, volcanic action was unmistakable. At first, the recorded on the Government self-registering tide gauges at San Diego, San Francisco and Astoria, in about five hours. On the 23d of December, 1854, a similar wave was transmitted from the coast of Japan to the Golden Gate in 12 hours and 38 minutes.

BY JOHN S. C. ABBOTT. George? 111. of England was the father of fourteen children. In the latter part of his life he was insane, and his oldest son, subsequently George IV., reigned as prince regent. Upon the death of ihe father, the son, a miserable profligate, ascended the throne. He married, much against his will, a German princess, Caroline. His dissipation was such that he often expressed the determination never to he shackled by a wife. State considerations rendered it necessary that he should be married ; but he treated his wife so brutally an to drive her to frenzy and crime. They had one daughter, the Princess Charlotte, as lovely in character as she was beautiful in person. She was the idol of the British nation, and all the kingdom was vocal with joy when she was married to Leopold of Germany. One year after their marriage, the Princess Charlotte and her infant babe were consigned to the tomb together. George IV. died childless. His next oldest brother, William, of course succeeded to the crown. He was a blunt sailor, who, never expecting to ascend the throne, had spent most of his life on shipboard, forming his character in that rude school. William IV. reigned but a few years, and also died childless. The crown would then, by regular descent, have passed to the brow of the third brother. His name was Edward. He was a fine young man, very amiable, retiring in habits, of scholarly, scientific tastes, and strongly attached to domestic quiet. Moreover, he was quite republican in his notions, so much so as seriously to displease his kingly futher. The family of George 111. was so large, and the necessary expenses of royalty so enormous, that he could not give all his children large incomes. Edward received the title of the Duke of Kent. When a young man, receiving his education, his economical father kept him, as was then thought, very close ; " and he was often mortified by his inability to" sustain that style of living which he deemed essential to his rank. Many of the young nobles, who were his associates, far surpassed him in the elegance of their apartments, the splendor of their equipage, and in all the appliances of princely living. At times they assumed airs of osten- , loti 8 ciples are not popular now, that is, they do not conduct to place or office. All the members of the royal family do not hold the same principles. For this Ido not blame them ; but we cluim, for ourselves, the right of thinking and acting as we think best, and we proclaim ourselves members of His Majesty's loyal opposition." Edward married Victoria Maria Louisa, daughter of the Duke of Saxe Coburg, and . which her father began to lie regarded. But in two years after her birth the Duke of Kent, a good man, fell asleep, we trust, in Jesus, and Victoria Maria was again a widow, weeping the bitterest tears of anguish, and her daughter an orphan. There was then but one intervening link in the chain which connected her with the throne, and that was her uncle William. The eyes of all England were now turned to Victoria. The aristocratic party were glad that Edward was dead, for his republican proclivities were well known, and they dreaded to see the sceptre in his hands. Great solicitude was manifested to discover the childish developments of the princess, aud the influences of education which were Drought to near upon her. In the year 1830, when Victoria was eleven years of age, George IV. died. Willinm IV. now alone interposed between her and the throne. She consequently became still more conspicuous. Whenever she appeared in public, all eyes followed her; and English loyalty raised its loudest shouts of acclaim, in greeting the frail, fairy-like, bloomingchild, who at any day might become their queen. .Many anecdotes are related of her childhood which attest to her vivacity, to her fair share of childish intelligence, and to the goodness of her heart. When but five years old a brilliant breakfast was given in her honor at the Marlborough House, which was attended by many illustrious guests. The placid child, the observed of all observers, won all hearts. When the company had retired the judicious mother said to her, " It is not you* my child, but your future office and rank, which are regarded by the country, and you must so act as never to bring that office and that rank into disgrace or disrespect." Such was the birth and the parentage of Queen Victoria. sister of Leopold who had married MM lamented Charlotte, only child of George IV. The ancestral line of this princess ran fur back into Ihe dark ages. Hut though there was this priceless blood in the veins, the good old'duke found it difficult to maintain the dignity of his station from the very limited revenue of his dukedom. The young print-ess Victoria Maria brought her spouse beauty of person and loveliness of chnracter, though a slender dowry. The life of this princess had been sadly romantic. When but sixteen years of age, she wus married to a rich old debauchee, the Prince of Leinengen, then forty-four years old. He soon became tired of his child-bride, and she became as wretched as a timid, affectionate woman could be made, by neglect and brutality. With hounds and wine and debauched companionship he spent his days. No redeeming trails softened the dark shinies of his character. Victoria Maria thus passed several years of unmitigated misery. But these afflictions subdued and sanctified her spirit. " Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth." She became exceedingly patient, gentle, childlike—never answering back. Hei sweet disposition and winning manners secured the love of all, except her uncongenial spouse. After fifteen years of this martyrdom, the wretched prince was deposited in the grave. Stie was thus left, at the ago of thirty-one, a beautiful widow and childless. The Duke of Kent chanced lo meet her. Their congenial naPORT OF HONOLULU, S.

No man feels so acutely aristocratic pride as one born in the ranks of aristocracy, who is the victim of that pride. These influences probably aided in giving a republican tone to his character. The friends of reform, glad to avail themselves of an illustrious leader, rallied around the young Duke of Kent, and thus he found himself actually at the head of the opposition to his father's government. The embarrassment of this situation, and the economical habits he was compelled to form, added to his natural disposition to seek a secluded life. At a public dinner he uttered <t).e following noble sentiments : "lama friend of civil and religious liberty «4 the world over.

The establishment and endowment <>l ihis institution at Ithaca, New York, is a fine illustration of the wide-awake and progressive spirit of the Americans in the cause of education. According to a pamphlet lying Iwforc us, the Cornell University opened yes- terday, " the last Wednesday of September, 1868." It was to open with a corps of twenty able professors and lecturers, including I'rof. Agassiz, of Cambridge, Mnss., and the celebrated Goldwin Smith, of England. It appears that Ezra Cornell, of Ithaca, gave two hundred acres of land and five hundred thousand dollars as a foundation endowment, while the State of New York has made over to the University 990,000 acres of land miller tbe provisions of that Act of the Congress ol the United Slates devoting 30,000 acres of Covi'riiineut land to ench Senator and Representative for the benefit of Arts."

The collector has been engaged to proceed to Ithaca and superintend its armngoment in the museum. The large classical library ol the late Prof. Anthon.ofNew York, has also been secured at a eosl nt 810.000.

Our attention has been called to this island and its inhabitants by an interesting article in the July number of the "Atlantic " Magazine, entitled, " Some Coral Islands and Islanders." The "Atlantic" Magazine is the very oddest place to find a very good plea tor foreign missions to the heathen. We expect to find articles upon foreign missionary operations in the " Missionary Herald," the " Spirit of Missions," and other publications devoted to missionary work, respecting which an eloquent writer has remarked " In the whole compass of human benevolence, there is nothing so grand, so Christian, so truly God-like, as the work of evangelizing the heathen." As a literary magazine, the Atlantic Monthly " has but few peers among the numerous publications of the day. We should be glad to see more frequently in its pages articles furnishing information respecting distant parts of the world. This article indicates what might be done if the contributors to that Monthly would go abroad for information. The writer .of this article, or the person furnishing information for the writer, represents himself as cruising in a little schooner among the South Sea Islands in the month of March, .1860. Having ourself taken a cruise among the Micronesian islands in the following year, 1861,and often landed on "some coral island " and seen the islanders," we are able to testify respecting the general accuracy of the statements of this writer in the Atlantic." Our limits will not allow us to copy a full description of all the islands brought under the writer's notice, but shall merely copy a few paragraphs respecting the Island of Manihiki. This island is known on English charts by the name of " Humphrey's Island," and is situated in west longitude 161 ° 4', and south latitude 10° 28. The Rev. W. Gill in his interesting work, "Gems from : " " " 18% Before introducing to our raaderi the article from the " Atlantic," we would remark that Capt. English, so well-known in Honolulu as engaged in the cocoanut oil trade on Farming's Island, is accustomed to obtain his laborers from Manihiki. His method is to visit the island and take whole families, children," for a limited " men, women and time, say one or two years, and at the expiraiion of the stipulated period return them to their island home. The calico and other goods referred to by the writer in the " Atlantic," were purchased in the jobbing stores of Honolulu. We visited the oilier islands of the group, Nunkunono and Fakaafo ; but our experience there was so much like that already re- lated, that a detailed account would involve too much repetition. I prefer, therefore, to describe a visit to the Island ol Manihiki, or Humphrey's, which with its neighbor, Rakaanga, or Rierson's, lies some six or seven hundred miles east of the Union Group. These islands closely resemble those already described in natural features, but the combined influences of intercourse with foreigners and the teachings of Christian missionaries have wrought some strange and interesting effects among the people. We sighted the Island of Manihiki at daylight. It lay ten or fifteen miles distant, the broken lino of tree-tops just skirting the horizon. Unfortunately the wind had died entirely away, and the flapping sails and lazily rocking vessel promised us a tedious day of waiting for a breeze. Discetitentud with this, we determined to set out nt once in our boat for the island, and leave the captain and crew to bring the schooner up as soon after as possible. Accordingly, prepared with lunch and fresh water, we embarked, and, after three or four hours' rowing, reached the shore, and landed upon one of the little islets of the atoll. We had no previous information concerning the island, and did not even know whether it was inhabited or not. After spending some time on the islet on which we had landed, we brought our boat through the channel from the ocean side to the inner lake, and prepared for a little sail on the lagoon. After a short cruise, we observed on a distant part of the shore what appeared to be a house ; and, while looking at it, discovered on the beach a large party of people, and several canoes filled with men just setting off to meet us. A few minutes later they were closely approaching us, and if we, at first, had any apprehensions of an unfriendly reception, they were removed as soon as the men came near enough to be distinctly visible. They were all dressed in shirts, pantaloons and straw hats, and their amiable fuces bespoke great pleasure at seeing visitors. As soon as we were within hail, they began to speak ; and we were glad to discover that our interpreter could communicate much more readily with them than with the natives of the Union the Coral Islands," thus describes Manihiki: "It belongs to the Penrhyn Islands. Manihiki is little more than fifteen miles in circumference ; it is a barren reef, not more than thirty feet above the level of the sea ; and the inner elevated reef not more than 500 feet wide—and this is the part of the island which is inhabited. Twenty years ago there were about 1,200 inhabitants, who subsisted almqst entirely on cocoanuts and fish. A runaway Tahitian sailor gave this people their earliest ideas of Christianity and of the abolition of idolatry at the Society Islands. Imperfect and crude as were this Tahitian's ideas, yet they proved a leaven to Group. We also made another discovery, which prepare the way for missionaries in subse- not only enlightened us considerably regardquent years from the Hervey and Samoan ing the people and their condition, but also helped to assure us of a kind welcome. Islands." , 8. About a thousand miles from this island there is another large island called Farming's, abounding in cocoanuts, and uninhabited until recently, when an Englishman took possession of it, and began the manufacture of cocoanut oil. This we had known before, but we now learned that his necessary laborers were hired from this island and its neighbor; it being his custom to take up a party of men, women and children once-in a year, and then return to exchange them for a fresh lot. He pays their labor in calico and such clothing as they commonly wear,—panta- loons, shirts and straw hats,—besides tobacco, knives and other implements. As this had been in operation several years, most of the inhabitants had been engaged in the work at one time or another, and their employer's name had become a household word. As we claimed acquaintance with the gentleman, we were at once received as his " brothers." They gave us a hearty welcome, and pointed to the shore, where, they said, the missionary was waiting to receive us ; and a part of the company at once paddled off to precede us with a report. On reaching the shore, we found nearly the whole population of the village, some two or three hundred people, assembled to receive us. Most of the grown people were dressed— the men in shirts or pantaloons or both, and the women in loose calico robes or gowns. A few of the older and more conservative people, however, seemed to look upon such articles of dress as innovations of the rising and progressive generation, and such held fast to their old-fashioned cocoanut ideas. The children generally were naked. The " missionary " came forward to do the honors. He proved to be a native of Raratonga, a large and high island of the Hervey Group, some five or six hundred miles away, where the English missionaries have long been established, and under whose teachings he had become a convert. Having been qualified by them to teach others, he had come thence to Manihiki some ten years before, and had become a very important member of their society. He received us with much dignity in the midst of the assembled people, all of whom pressed forward to shake hands ; and, when these greetings were over, we were invited to the king's house, where his Majesty was expecting us. Led by the missionary, and followed by the people, we walked along a wide, wellshades avenue which crossed the belt of land at a right angle to the two beaches. We soon reached fhe " Palace "—a house similar in construction to those already described, in which we found the king sitting on a highbacked bench, something like an old-fashioned settle. He was a good-natured old fellow, perhaps sixty years of age. He wore a blue woollen shirt and blue pantaloons, such as are common among us for " overalls." Before him was a roughly made table, a specimen of native workmanship. He gave us places beside him on the " throne," and cocoanuts in all their various edible forms were set before us. After a short interview, during which he invited us to spend the night ashore, as it was already too late to pull back to the vessel, we went out for a walk.

The first of these was pointed out as the church, and over the door was written " Ziona." Opposite the church was another stone building, which proved to be the missionary's house. Farther on, a third whs in process of construction, intended to be the schoolhouse ; and opposite the last was a large building, not of stone, but of the primitive style, which served as a hall of assembly for public purposes, and also as a place of confinement for offenders. These lour buildings formed the four corners of the two avenues of the village ; and at this point we found the cross street, running parallel to the sea-beach, and more than a quarter of a mile long, paved like the other in the middle, well shaded, and having on either side a long row of dwellings. These houses were of the simple style of construction, and seemed to be neatly kept. About many of the houses were pigs and fowls, which had been introduced upon the island some time before. Before the doors the preparations for the evening meal, or rather the evening cocoanuts, were now going on, some of the people having satisfied their curiosity sufficiently to be able to resume their domestic duties. During our walk we were taken to see some ot their canoes of the larger, sea-going sort. Small canoes for ordinary uses were plenty enough ; but these larger ones, which are not often required, were hauled up, and put under cover. They were between fifty and sixty feet long, made with much care and some attempt at ornamentation, certain parts of the woodwork being inlaid with pearl. They were double canoes, that is, two were joined together by stout cross-pieces nf such length that the two canoes were several feet apart. The bow of either canoe was opposite the stern of the other. When used under sail, the sail is set on the lee canoe, while the pissengers and freight are in the weather one ; and, if it be necessary to tackship, the masts and sails are shifted to the other canoe, and passengers and cargo trans-i ferred accordingly. The natives use these vessels for crossing from Manihiki to the neighboring island, some forty miles distant. This journey, I believe, is not often made, and only attempted under favorable winds, as these canoes are noj adapted to beating to windward. It has happened twice within a few years that parties have been blown or currented off while making this journey. Once, previous to the visit herein described, a party of men and women, unable to gain the land, were drifted off, and, after floating several weeks, landed upon an uninhabited Maud about one thousand miles distant. Here they subsisted on the few cocoanuts they found until they were taken oft by a passing vessel, nnd carried to the Samoan Islands, whence they were, in time, returned to their native home. Some of these survivors we saw at the time of our visit. Another party, in 1861, were ciirrented off in a similar manner; and, after eight week* ■>i untold suffering, those who survived landed esting fact that among the survivors of this party were several converts, one of them a deacon of the church on his native island. They had their Bibles with them. Finding that the inhabitants of the island to which they had come had never received n Christian teacher, or any instruction whatever, they began at once to teach them to reud, and to preach to them the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and so prepared the way for further missionary effort after their departure. When we had finished our walk,.the missionary took us to his own house. This was a large stone building, divided into three apartments, of which the middle one was the general reception-room. The floor was covered by mats, and several roughly made tables and seals composed the furniture. On one table was a number of books, chiefly Bibles, hymn-books and primers. These books were, I believe, in the language of Karatonga, possibly modified to suit the dialect of the islanders. We were told that all the inhabitarfts could read, and many could write. All possess Bibles and hymn-books, slates and pencils. All the children attend school, and receive instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic. The church is regularly organized, and comprises more than a hundred members, and many, if not all, the remaining adults are what are termed "class members." The entire population may be said to have embraced Christianity. A report in the Chronicle of date subsequent to that of this visit states that the islanders of Manihiki had paid more than fifteen pounds for Bibles and books for their own use, and contributed more than ten pounds for missionary work elsewhere, and that four young men, natives of Manihiki, were going to Karatonga to study and qualify themselves as religious teachers among other islanders. While still with the missionary, a messenger came from the king to invite us to supper with the " royal family." We obeyed immediately. We found our host seated alone behind his table, on which the feast was spread. Cocoanuts were of course in abundance, and flying-fish, partially baked, were not uninviting ; but the glory of the occasion was a chicken that had been sacrificed for our good. The king did the honors gracefully, and seemed much pleased with our expressions of satisfaction. Meantime the queen and princess royal sat on the floor, surrounded by many people of various decrees of distinction, and all much interested in watching the strangers. This entertainment was scarcely over, when the missionary sent for us to return to his house, where, to our surprise, we found a second repast prepared in much the same style, and a larger congregation of natives assembled to witness our disposal of it. We did all that men of our capacity could, but, unhappily, failed to do full justice to our host's hospitality. As the evening wore away, and we began to think of bed, we heard a remarkable noise in the street. It was the heating ol the Rap Tap. This in: trurnent, as 1 afterwards dis- the beating, first with a distressing screech, and then a short proclamation to the effect that bed-time had come, and warning all against being found out of doors or with lights burning thereafter. The missionary informed us that this was a very strict rule, and any one offending against it was liable to fine or punishment. He accordingly showed us places to sleep in an adjoining apartment, giving us very comfortable mats for beds, and then bade us good night. A few minutes later, quiet reigned throughout the entire community. We had learned that the inhabitants of the island, numbering altogether four or five hundred, were divided into two communities, one of which lived in a village similar to this on the other side of the lagoon. We were also told that with this other community were living two white men, who had been on the island several months. A messenger had been sent to these foreigners to report our visit, and in the morning they both made their appeurance. They were delighted to see us, and welcomed an opportunity :o get awn y from the island; they lost no time in making known their desire to go with us under any conditions, and to be left anywhere, only asking to be taken away. The reason for this soon became apparent. Of these two men, one was an Englishman, forty or fifty years of age, and the other an American not over twenty-five. The former had been left on the island about seven months before by a trading-vessel that had called in search of pearls. The American had belonged to the crew of a tittle vessel that had touched there four months before, on her way from San Francisco to Tahiti; and he, hoping to enjoy an indolent and lawless life among the islanders, had deserted the vessel. The Englishman, it appeared, had lived for many years by vagrancy. He had wandered all over the Pacific Ocean, and had either visited or lived upon a large number of its islands. It is not improbable that he was an escaped convict, and ao. partly from choice, partly from necessity, preferred to spend his life beyond the reach of law. In this way the vagabond had spent a few months, or possibly years, on one island, and then, having exhausted the novelties of the place, and mode himself odious to the people, had succeeded, by means of some passing whaler or other vessel, in reaching another, and then another, and so. on until he had brought up where we found him, in a very unhappy condition, and ready for still another island. The American was a stout and hearty but demoralized youth, who had chosen to enter upon the same career, but had made what he considered an unhappy beginning on an island and among a people where he felt the rigors of the law in a degree he had never before dreamed of. They gave a long account of their experience among the people; and their statements, though necessarily to be taken with many grains of allowance, furnished some information concerning the native character anjl �IHE IItI I.

Hy the last mail we have received this pamphlet, containing a translation of Mon. Remy's work, which President Alexander h.td previously translated, and Urge portions of which were published in the Friend for 1865. This work as now published contains sixty pages, und is most handsomely printed. For a vignette, he has a sketch of a weird-looking idol in the museum of Oahu College. It contains valuable information respecting ancient customs and history of Hawaiians. Mr. Brigham is to lie one of the editors of the Hawaiian Quarterly, to be published in .Boston. We rejoice to know that there are scholars engaged in studying the history, traditions, language and science of the Hawaiian Islands. These Islands are territorially small when compared with the great nations of the globe; so was ancient Greece, and yet Greece has been the study of scholars for more than two thousand years. Hawaii nei may be small territorially, but " great by position." i . — ClmpliiiH— Ktv. A. Uurkky, M. A. Suri/roii Wm. (Jarniichußj, M. I). Paymaster—V.. K. Miall. ChieJ iiutinrr,— Fred. A. Bulli-v.
