Job remarks, " Now my days are swifter than a post; they flee away ; they are passed as the swift ships ; as the eagle that hasteth to his prey;" and again, "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle." These are most expressive similes illustrative of the rapidity of time. The flying post rider, the swift darting eagle, the rapid sailing ships and quick-sped shuttle are apt figures. Jeremy Taylor commenting upon the last, remarks, " Morning sends the shuttle on to evening and evening back to morning, until death cuts the web of life from the loom of time."

Honolulu, doing wlial ?—yes, what ? ■• , �VIII I, Mi, J,.MA It \ 111 I 2 XIVth Annual Report of the Honolulu Sailor's Home Society. We hnve high autho/ity for asserting that is known by its fruits. If this princiis not pressed with too much rigidity, we ple are quite willing the Home should stand or fall upon its application. As it was the design of its founders to establish nnd maintain a good temperance boarding house for senmen and others who might avail themselves of its privileges, we propose to introduce the testimony of those who have lieen inmntes of the establishment. Two tables have always been spread for those wishing to board in the Home. During the last few weeks Capt Smith nnd his excellent wife, of the American whaling bark Seine, have been inmates of the Home. That vessel sailed last week, and after she had left the port Mrs. Smith addressed a letter to the Seaman's Chaplain, from which we make the following extract. This letter was entirely unexpected and una tree solicited : Off HonoLtrMT, Dec 23, ISfis. Mr. Damon Dear Sir ; —I cannot think of leaving Honolulu without expressing my thanks for the kind attentions shown me by Mrs. D., as well ns by Mrs. C, Mrs. G. and Mrs. S. And here too let me express my admiration of the Sailor's Home, and its most excellent manager, Mrs. Crabbe. I was delighted with its quiet, its perfect order, its excellent table, nnd the well-bred boarders whom 1 daily met there. I consider it a first class boarding house, and all strangers visiting Honolulu would patronize it, if they could be benefited by my experience. They would not only find Mrs. Crabbe a superior landlady, but a kind and sympathizing friend, whom to know would be to respect and love. My husband joins with me in expressions of gratitude to these truly excellent friends — whom I have named, and he desires that you will publish this iv the Friend; and adds, that if God permits us again to return to our native shores, we shall continue to subscribe for your interesting paper, both for ourselves and friends. Respectfully yours, Mrs. E. S. H. Smith, Bark Seine. The additional testimony comes from a Swedish sailor, who came sick and destitute to Honolulu from San Francisco. As he could not gain admission to the United States Marine Hospital, he cast himself upon Mrs. Crabbe's generosity and hospitality at the Home. We make the following extract from a written statement which he made to the Bethel church before uniting with it last October i 1 came to this porl about twelve months " ago from San Francisco for the benefit of my health. 1 was diseased in both body and soul. I went to board at the Sailor's Home, poor as poor could be; but I believe the Lord directed my steps thither, for I was there by the good people pointed to the healer of soul and body, and urged to seek to-day, . Is 6 il. and not to wuit until to-morrow. Thanks lie lo Cod, I was brought to see the danger of putting off this most important of all things. I was brought up by pious parents, and was early made acquainted with God's word as it is given in the Bible, though I had then no real liking for it. But by the help of God's spirit, many precious words were now brought to my mind, and a few weeks after my arrival I was ennbled to believe that God for Christ's sake had forgiven all my sins. 1 felt as if I had made an earthly fortune ; I know I could not have felt more happy. I lost all desire after the world, for what is it but vanity.' 1 felt I was adopted into the household of faith. I could say with regard to the cure of my body, ' Thy will be done.' I soon found that instead nf getting liotter. I was getting worse. At last I was too weak to do any work. Through the kindness of Mr. D. and the Ladies' Stranger* Friend Society, I was admitted to tbe Queen's Hospital. I feel truly grateful to those people, thrbuch whom the Lord is so wonderfully caring for me." In regard to this man. we would remark that he still lingers at the Hospital, although during the last shipping season he returned to the Home, and for two months and more kept the Depository. As his health is still declining, he will not probably again lie able to leave tfie Hosnital. While an inmate of the Home, he boarded in the seaman's department. Other similar testimony respecting the manner in which the Home is conducted by Mrs. Crabbe might he adduced, if ' necessary. As years roll away, we see more and more the necessity of sustaining this establishment. It is well nigh made self-supporting. We have sometimes thought, if less so, and the community was called upon more frequently and urgently for funds, it would prove advantageous. In view of all the difficulties attending the boardingand lodging department, and otherwise sustaining such an institution, we congratulate the founders, patrons and friends of the Honolulu Sailor's Home in its success, prosperity and usefulness.

Oahu College.-We are glad to learn that the new term opens at Punahou with a full school of sixty pupils, and the prospect of additional pupils. The usefulness of that institution was never greater than at present. It is blessed with a full corps of able teachers, who are interested in their work, and inspire the pupils with ambition to excel. We visited the school at the close of the last term, in company with Judge Hartwell, and were most favorably impressed with the discipline and scholarship of the institution. Arrangements have recently been made to enlarge the library accommodation, and we should be glad to learn that some generous minded person had presented the institution with 8500, more or less, wherewith to purchase new and standard books for the library, and also that a good telescope had been presented to the philosophical department. The time may come, and perhaps soon, when an effort should be made to increase the endowment, and add a professorship of Natural History. The College must keep in advance ofall other literary institutions on the Islands. �Annual Meeting of Honolulu Sailor's Home SoCIBTY.—This meeting was held at tbe Home, agreeable to public notice, on Monday morning at 11 o'clock, President S.

"Come Over and Help Us."—There is a Macedonian call lor more ministers ol (he Gospel to leave the Eastern States and cross the Kocky Mountains and preach the Gospel in Washington Territory, Oregon and California We recently met one of our old friends, Capt. Swift, formerly master of a whalcship, but now settled in Washington Territory. His neighbors and his own fam ily earnestly desire a Congregational minister from the East to come and preach where he. is located, near Paget Sound. Other localities demand Methodist ministers. The cull is loud for earnest and self-denying men. On the coast of America, west of the Kocky Mountains, 60,000 from China have become located, demanding at least twenty Chinese missionary colporteurs, but we can hear of only some half a dozen engaged in this work. The fide of immigration is pouring into that part of the world, anil the call is for more laborers. The fields are white to the. harvest. Thanksgiving Sermon. —In the Stockton Daily liulcpendent. for November 28th, we find an interesting Thanksgiving Sermon by the Key. James A. Daly, entitled, "Our Cause, our Equipment, our Struggle." If Mr. Arthur Alexander, will call upon the Chaplain, he will hear good news from bis father in Washington, D. C. We would acknowledge a file of the San Francisco Tunes from Purser McLellan, of the Idaho. .. liS« I. Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress in China. The Key. Mr. Doolittle, author of a recent work on China, writes the following remarks respecting the Rev. Mr. Burns, a Scottish missionary recently deceased, who has translated Banyans Pilgrim's Progress into the Chinese. Mr. Burns' death is noticed in all the English and American missionary publications. For several years before going to China he was a settled pastor in Scotland, and an intimate friend of the lamented McCheyne of blessed memory. "Mr. Burns had an extraordinary facility of acquiring a new dialect. He acquired the Canton, the SwatoW, the Amoy, the Pub Chun nnd the Mandarin dialects, und beside: had ■ good knowledge of the hook language, or the style found in books. A> an author he has done a great work. He prepared and published a translation of Bunynn's Pilgrim* Progress in the classical or book style, and also in the Mandarin dialect. These form standard works in the Christian literature of China. He prepared hymn books in the Amoy, the Swatow, the Full Chan and the Mandarin dialects, llu also prepared a translation of the Book ol Psalms, and a volume called the ' Peep of Day,'after the general plan of the English book having that name, omitting the questions. These volumes remain a standing and permanent monument of his literary ability. •• But .Mr. Burns' special delight was in preaching the Gospel to the Chinese, whether in the streets or in the chapel, whether to Christians or heathens. He eminently succeeded in making himself understood, and in interesting those of his auditors who listened with attention. He had some marked peculiarities of labor which it would not be well for missionaries generally to adopt or imitate. He was unwilling to administer the rite of baptism to converts from heathenism, or to take the charge of a congregation of believers worshiping statedly in a certain place. He wanted nothing to do with the supervision of native churches, or with the discipline of church-members. He loved to preach the (fospel. He seemed to feel as did Paul, ' Wo is unto me ij I pn-each not the Gospel.' "-N. Y. Evangelist. ago (Jen. William Williams, of Norwich, commenced the systematic, visiting of the schools in New London County, which he continued for nearly twenty years, visiting from 160 to 165 schools every year. After completing New London County, he extended his labors into Windham County,and some other portions of theStnte. He became known to the children generally in those towns, and was everywhere gratefully recognized as their friend and benefactor. 1 have had occasion, more than once, to observe with what interest and affection he is greeted and cherished by tlsa children. On the lliih of .March lust. I made a journey from New Haven to Norwich, to congratulate him on the eightieth Anniversary of his birthday, and express iiiv grateful appreciation of bis serenes iv behalf ol schools, His long and practical sympathy with children has largely helped to keep this venemble octogenarian vigorous in bofiy, clear in mind, nnd young at heart. He snhJ tome that day, 'My visits to the schools have given daily joy to my heart, and added years to my life.' " Would that those who are piiiinii from nothing to do,' would follow ihis noble example, and grow young and useful by visit- ' ing schools." A Word Fitly Spoken.—Major General Howard addressed ft large audience iv ihe college chapel at Amherst, Mass. In the course of his remarks, while appealing to ihe students, as their first preparation for any ef- fectual life work, to become Christian men. he said that on the day previous, while on the cars, a young man with his left arm gone, came along selling books. " Where did you lose your arm ?" inquired the General. "At Chancellorsville," was the reply. "In what regiment were you ?'' "In the Vermont." " That regiment was in my brigade," said the General. " But, sir, that brigade was Gen. Howard's." " And my name is Howard." The young man was so overjoyed he scarcely knew how to express his delight. He wanted ihe General to accept a book, and seemed very desirous of expressing his gratitude. After going for a little while into another car, he returned and said, " Excuse me, General, for saying a few words more. I want to tell yon >fa conversation I hud with you in camp. I went to you for permission to get some whisky. You refused, and asked me if I ever drank. 1 replied that I did sometimes on picket. Then you said something to me which made mc resolve never again to drink a drop of intox icating liquors. I have not tasted strong drink since, and 1 think now that I am a Christian too, as ■ result of your remarks to me." Such a meeting and such a conversation between these two one-armed warriors must have been ft touching scene. General W. Williams, of Norwich, Ct. It is known that this gentleman is one of the patrons of Oahu College, and has given for its endowment. The following paragraph from the annual report of the Secretary of the Board of Education in Connecticut, will indicate that the General is interested in the cause of education at home as well as abroad " The Secretary himself, B.

We refer to the writer of that article in the "Overland Monthly," entitled, "Social Life in the Tropics."

Look at the subject in another light for a moment. lie is a great coward, for by the old -code of honor" none but an arrant coward will insult a woman, a child or a clergyman. That the writer has grossly insulted the ladies of Honolulu, no one will doubt who has read the article, and if the writer has not insulted a clergyman, he has done What is far meaner—repeated a stale joke to the missionary's discredit. Hence we say, let the writer go us worthless who iv his flight hps. like the flying Parthian, shot a poisoned arrow behind, which has fallen short of its mark. NIW COMaUMCUL I'/NI KKl'lilsi; IN Till.

On the Marshall Islands and Ascension the good cause isprogresfting.

If any of our missionary friends on the Islands possess the odd volume now wanting of " Pliny's Epistles," we should be most glad to have them communicate with the editor.

Cuyler writes fo the Evangelist : There is one serious mistake made by many good people when they try to reform an inebriate ; and also with the inebriate himself when he makes an efTort at emancipation. They regard drunkenness simply as a sin, and bring all their efTorts to bear on the conscience. But drunkenness is also a physical disease, and should be treated as such. A drunkard may, by the grace of God, be sptiituully converted, and yet his physical disease may not be subdued. John Vine Hall (tho eminent father of our eminent brother Newman Hall) was a sincere Christian for several years before he became a thoroughly sober man. He would go occasionally right away from the family altar and the communion-table into a desperate and disgraceful " spree." At length he discov- ered that his only hope of recovery from his disease lay in entire abstinence from all intoxicants, and then he became a cured man. The system pursued in the best Inebriate Asylums is to stop off the patient at once, and entirely, from all alcoholic stimulants. Gradual reform is found to be impossible. And it is just there—just when the bottle is being forced away from the enfeebled, deranged and poisoned system of the poor tippler—that the great danger and difficulty lie. For this "devil" when he is "cast out," tears his victim frightfully. Just then the man needs not only prayer, and the grace of God ; he also needs physical treatment of the right kind. A member of my own church,—who had, by tampering with the social cup, fallen into the disease of drunkenness—took a solemn pledge of total abstinence "in reliance on the grace of God." But be also used Valerian for " several days to keep up his shattered frame ; he used the most wholesome diet, and he " . IN(> kept resolutely away from the ihjhl and smell of every kind of intoxicant, lie is today ■ cured man, and a devoted Christian. One-half of the drunkenness in the world springs from mental misery. It is trouble which tills the grog-shops. Men drink to drown sorrow, to brace up shattered nerves, or lo forget for a lew hours their distress ol body und mind. To help some drunkards, we must do all we can lo relieve them from the troubles that drive them to the CUB. A laboring man in the neighborhood fell into drunkenness through poverty and want of employment. In reforming him, our first step was to induce him to sign a pledge,and ihe next was to get hilii u place to work. The " Sons of Temperance " introduced him inio their fellowship and sympathy; he ia doing well. There is hope now for his'soul. Chrisiinuity must proceed on the principles of common sense if it would save a person who is both guilty of heinous sinand the victim of horrible disease. When we seen man falling inlo trouble— citherin his business or in his domestic•life— we always tremble for him lest he may five lo the cup which drowns sorrow by drowning ihe conscience. We would mil answer for the safety of any professed Christian who, cither to brace up a weak body or lo relieve a troubled mind, should touch even a gill of wine. God has provided enough of ionics for the body, and of spiritual supports for the oiiffering or desponding heart. He never Commands His children to use the Devil's medicines. To those who wish to study the best statement made lately on the physical phenomena of drunkenness, we would commend the able and entertaining article of Mr. Barton on Inebriate Asylums" in the Atlantic Monthly for October. It may furnish valuable hints to those who are praying and striving to save beloved friends from the terrible dominion of strong drink. 9, Normal SCHOOL AMONG THE Freedmen.The Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association und the management of Gen. S. C. Armstrong, of the Freedmen's Bureau, was opened at Hampton, V;i., in April hist, und is now in operation with ;i class of forty-five colored students of both sexes, uveraging about nineteen years ofage. The young men work lour or live hours n day, under the direction of Mr. Theodore Sanselain, un experienced market gardener from New Jersey, on a " truck " firm connected with the institution. The female department, presided over by Miss Elizabeth Brock, ol Northampton. -Muss., is conducted after the manner of Mi. h]olyoke Female Seminary.' Tbe students, who thus pay nearly nil their own expenses, are select scholars from schools in Virginia and North and Soulh Carolina, and enter upon u three years' course of study, with tin' inlcntion ol becoming teachers. They are under the instruction of the Misses Williams, of Synth Deerficld, Mas.-. Commodious buildings, ivell-liii'iiished rooms, and many of the appointments of a complete training-school, have been provided, together with a wellordered burin, at an expense of over $10,OUO. The undergraduates are now teaching tin: primary colored school.- of Hnmplou with good success. The design of this institution U to prove thai labor and study can go well together, and thus to raise up a corps of colored educators lor the South, mainly through 'heir own efforts, who shall tench not only the rudiments of study, but bow to farm profitably and live rightly.— N.

It is equally certain that the different events were not due to similar electrical or other atmospheric conditions ; for in thnt case it is not possible that the effects should have been felt only as they were. There is still open the possibility that the shock from South Americn was communicated directly through the diameter of the earth—that the vast explosive force which broke up the crust on one side wns felt at the exactly opposite side of the sphere. Perhaps this fact in the history of the recent earthquake —that shocks were felt in the Punjnub—may yet stand in the catalogue as the best of many arguments for the fluid condition of the centre of the earth.—iV. Y. Herald. The Earthquake at Juan Fernandez.A lgtter from on bonrd bark Ml. Wollaston, of this port, dated at sea off Valparaiso, August 28th, states that nu the 14th of August she was lying oil' and on at Juan Fernandez, the captain with two boats' crews on shore, for wood and water. They heard a noise all day like that of distant thunder. At 8 o'clock in the evening, a report near them like the dischnrge of a cannon wns heard, when immediately the earth opened between the settlement and the. beach (only a few rods), from which opening issued fire, smoke and lava, boiling in the same manner as brine when boiling water is poured upon it. At the same instant the tidal wave swept the beach clean, taking Irom the beach all the boats, including those of the Mt. Wollaston. In a few minutes the sea became calm afW signals were made to the ship, and two boats went to their assistance. Those on board the ship did not know that anything unusual had transpired until they saw the signal. The ship proceeded immediately to sea without procuring wood nnd water.— New Bedford Standard. lIKI'AKII KK.s. wb ship On llnwbiiiil, ftaoaass, I* mum. I nii-, wit bk Oriole, Hayes in erui--.

The Mauna Loa sails on Saturday for a cruise among the South Sea Islands, under the direction of the Board of Immigration. We understand the object of the expedition to be to obtain immigrants tat) laborers, with their families, who will come to reside permanently upon the Hawaiian Islands. Capt. English goes in command of the vessel. His long acquaintance with the inhabitants of the South Sea Islands eminently fits him to command the vessel. We are glad to learn that the vessel will go to the Hervey Group— including Mangnia, A itutaki and Rarotonga— instead of visiting the low coral islands under tbe line. Cupt. English will find English missionaries at the Hervey Islands, through whom he can communicate intelligently with the natives. The honorable manner in which Capt. English has conducted the labor system on Farming's Island is a guarantee that he will be equally honorable in opening negotiations with the inhabitants of the Hervey Islands. The terrible lesson inflicted upon South Sea islanders by the Peruvian slavers, has created n prejudice agninst the islanders going abroad, unless they know where they are going. The honor of the Hawaiian Government is publicly pledged that the present expedition shnll he conducted in the most honorable and upright manner.

S. B. Treat, Secretary of the American Board of Missions, and published in the Friend of September, 1867, and also from a touching tribiije lo the late Rev. Asa Thurston, entitled, " A Cypress-Bough," which will lie found in our present issue. Since Mr. Rising's return to the United Staler!, he has been employed as the Financial Secretary and General Agent of the American Church Missionary Society, known as the Society supported by the Low Church or Evangelical party of the Episcopal Church of the United States. He has also assisted as one of the editors of the Missionary Register, one of the very best monthly publications which is found among our exchanges, and which we always read with interest. Every month and year his labors were more and more abundant. His soul-inspiring aim apptuis to have been to awaken a true missionary spirit among the members (particularly the youth) of the Episcopal Church of the United States. He was our guest when he received his appointment, and we well remember his enthusiasm upon the missionary question. His visits among the American missionaries on these Islands served to fan his missionary zeal and enlarge his sympathies in behalf of God's servants who were not members of his church and denomination. From his correspondence, we learn that he always regarded it as a most kind Providence which led him to visit these Islands for recruiting his health. On his arrival, we know whereof we assert, when we say thathe was exceedingly skeptical respecting the success of the American Mission and the genuineness of the work. His ecclesiastical associations had naturally led him to hesitate and be doubtful upon the subject, but Uefore he left, and since his return home, last private letter which we received from him : New York, August Bth, IB6S. Ri.v. S. C. Damon— Dear Brother:— Thanks for your valued favor of sth May, with the kind remembrances and the map ol the lava-flows which it contained. Since that grand and magnificent though terrific eruption, I have lived much in imagination in Hawaii. Mv ride with Brother Lyman from Hilo to Waiohinu, and with Kauhane from Waiohinu to Kealakekua, made me quite well acquainted with the scene of the late out-breaking. 1 lunched at Mr. Kichardi-on's, staid over Sunday at Mr. F.

When I read of ihe mass of tarth thrown toward the sea, ol tin- lava over-leaping palis, forming promontories—of the natives fleeing from their houses, Ice., the whole country came up before ma. How 1 would have liked to see the eruption, antl to ride over the island now nnd see its altered aspect. The eruption, however, must have been frightful to behold, as its results were heart-rending. 1 think with real sympathy of Brothers Pogue and Paris and the native preacher tossed suddenly out of their field of labor, their people swallowed up and their churches laid low. The file of the Friend reached me safely. Thanks. Your journal also now makes me a monthly call, which gratifies me. Within two weeks or so I shall send you a pamphlet now in press, styled, " Are there Romanizing Germs in the Prayer-Book '( " It is a fair indication of what some of our younger clergy are thinking about and propose to do. Our General Convention Meeting October 7th in this city. Its session is anticipated with deep anxiety by some, with much interest by all. When you see Mrs. Thurston, will you convey to her my deep sympathy in her loss. The heat this summer has been intense, but the fall is drawing near. The Friend keeps me posted in the details of Island life, but I am olways glad to receive the additions made by your welcome warmth and blessed light of the Sun of Righteousness. As he is parted from our gaze, we would, with hearty affection, write (his memorial of him as one who glorified his divine Saviour, and in whom the grace of Cod was magnified. HIS HEROISM. He sailed out of Boston harbor in the brig Thaddeus in October, 1819. His face was set toward the Sandwich Islands. The Duff had carried the Gospel light to the Society group in the South Pacific ; but in the north deep darkness brooded. Out of it rose the death-cry ol Cook. Imagination easily sketched the horrors of the land where a savage club laid low the English navigator. A Hawaiian lad, brought by a sea-captain to New Haven, told of the idolatry of his countrymen, and besought some to hasten thither with the good news of God. Henry Bing-11;t iii, Asa Thurston, and five laymen, with their wives, heard this boy's touching appeal, and in answer girded themselves for their grand venture of faith. Foreign missions were not then popular. The chilly October day, when thesails of the Thaddeus were unfurled, typified the coldness of the Christian heart toward the heathen world. But these pioneers were born heroes. Thurston, by his physical strength and courage, had won, years before, at Vale College, the muchprized staff of " bully." With a moral courage and strength more sublime, he and his companions kissed their brides, and led them from the hymeneal altar to dwell in midocean amid savage islanders. Our hearts beat quick as we recall the heroism of those young men and women putting America behind them to win a nation to Christ. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions sent them out. For the results of their work the Lord be praised ! ROY A I. KAILUA. It was Thurston's lot to labor at Kailua, in the island of Hawaii. What a parish for a novice to handle! It was a filthy village of thatched huts, built upon beds of indurated luva, on which the fervent sun poured his furnace-heat every day in every year. It nestled amid a grove of cocoanut trees, and reached down to the shore, whither came rolling in the white-crested billows. Behind it rose the lofty volcanic peak of Hualalai. Standing at its base one could trace the perennial green of the forests reaching nigh unto the summit, deeply scored with hideous black tracks of lava reaching unto the sea. The luxuriant foliage hid from distant view gaping fissures, thirty-nine extinct craters, the grim ruins of the temple of Umi' and other tokens of vajjd desolation. Further down the coast rose the loftier peaks of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, 13,000 feet high, snow-capped, fierce fires raging within, and now and then breaking out with quakings, roarings, mighty rushings, and terrific hissings, as the lava threw itself red-hot into the sea. Very solemn to dwell in such a land with these volcanoes ever in sight! Then Kailua was, at the time of Thurston's landing, the residence of the king. He was a profligate, and the royal city was the fountain of the kingdom's pollution. Here the tabu had been broken and the idols destroyed, that there might be no check to ini- favors. I send my aloha to Mrs. Damon and all inquiring friends, as to yourself. Yours faithfully, Franklin S.

She shared his trials, went with him in his long missionary tours on foot, and equaled him in heroism. She taught the Hawaiian men to love their wives and their Saviour; the Hawaiian women to fear God and honor their husbands; the Hawaiian children to obey the Lord and their parents. So she carried into the huts of that dark land those blessed words—Love, Virtue, Home, Jesus, Heaven. Many un Hawaiian household to-day blesses God for the gifts sent by her. She now awaits her Lord's call, and we have ventured upon her retirement that we may appeal to mothers, wives and sisiers to show forth such missionary spirit as hers.

He was no longer young. His locks were gray, and grandchildren made more happy his home. During this long period he did not once leave the Islands. Others came and went, but he remained the tireless evangelist. Tropical heat did not abate his vigor. Long journeys on foot over lava tracts did not exhaust his strength. The hardness and wickedness of the heathen heart did not discourage him. PreachiDg in season and out of season did not weary him. The love of Christ conWhen nearly half THE VENERABLE PIONEEK. During these fifty years he bore an active part in all the remarkable changes which God wrought among the Hawaiians. The king and the common people alike fell his influence. His huge church building, within a stone's throw of the royal residence, attested this. When the capital was removed to Honolulu, he did not follow the king, but the common people still heard him gladly. We enn imagine the grateful joy of his soul as, year by year, he saw the heathen people become Christian and the obsolute despotism changed into a constitutional monarchy. It was our privilege to spend a few days under his hospitable roof after paralysis had disabled him. We can not soon forget his venerable form, crowned with flowing silver locks, his gentle, modest spirit, his earnestness of soul, his simple faith, his calm expectation of the future. The king might well bow before him, and the young do him reverence, as one of the fathers of the kingdom. When he landed, Kamehameha 11. was a hnlf-clad savage, dwelling in a filthy hut, rioting in degradation. When he went hence, Kamehameha Y. resided in a stone palace within sound of the church-going bell, with every appliance of modern civilization and Christianity about him. Let unbelieving and half-hearted Christian men sneer at Foreign Missions, if they will. One life like that of Asa Thurston, so sublime, so selfsacrificing, so successful, far outshines any diamond that they can bring from their mines. YOUNG MEN, ARISE ! Our space compels us to be brief. After paralysis came upon him, he went to California in quest of health. There, though nearly eighty years of age, he first saw a milroad and telegraph. The world had been busy with its inventions while lie wasabsorlied in his chosen work. When he returned to Honolulu, to await the Lord's summons, he must have mused upon ihe superior facility Cabin Boy's Locker.

The name of the vessel was the Catalpha, of Boston : 18 69. 1 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY. and Jack was about jumping in, in haste with many others, when, strange as it may seem, he happened to think of his little kitten, that had been his pet all the way out from home. " Now," said JacK to himself, " I must take Mollie with me ; it would be very cruel to let her drown." So across the deck he hastened, and descended the hold into the cabin, where poor Mollie lay huddled up in a corner. He soon had her in his arms, and was on deck: but the boat in which he thought to have gone was separated from the vessel, while, at the same time, he observed that the second small boat was manned. Well, in less time than it takes me to write this, all were off the ship ; of course Jack was among the last in the long-boat. The sea rose to a fearful height, and soon there was nothing to be seen of the ship but a few floating spars. It was found iO be very difficult to keep the boats from swamping, yet in the bands of skillful seamen nil went well. Darkness soon enveloped these little crafts in the folds of night. It wns impossible for them to keep longer toirether. It was a fearful crisis ; all that could be done was to give themselves up to the mercy of the winds. Once the captain, who was with Jack, ordered them to try the oars, Iroping that ihev might make land, but it nearly capsized them, so it was abandoned. At length morning cahie, but Jack with his keen eyes could see nothing of the other boats. Where could they be ? Through that whole succeeding day and the following night ihey were tossed about by the heavy swells of the ocean, and did not make land till the morning of the third day. Where were the other boats? you ask. Alas, they capsized and all perished that were on board. Little Jack knew that if he had not gone back after kitty, he would have shared their fate. He was then wayward and thoughtless, but now, through the grace of God, he thanks the Lord Jesus Cousin Herbert. for the deliverance. There is a thrilling story told of a cabin boy and his kitten, that illustrates in n marked degree the providence of God that often, by the most trifling incident, saves the lite of an individual. It was in his first voyage, and all the more thrilling to him.

Ere long ho visits Boston, and in a few days he is found on board the whaleship Falcon, of Nantucket, Chase, master, bound around Cape Horn. In December, 1825, this ship was wrecked on Rurutu, one of the Society Islands. Four of the crew, including our acquaintance, left in a whaleboat, and were afloat on the broad Pacific, somewhat after the style of Adam nnd Eve when they left the garden of Eden : wide world was all before them, wljere to cliooae " The Their place ofren», slid Providence their suide." rutu, on his way to America, in order to procure a supply of yams, which are both fine and abundant at that island, when, unfortunately, his vessel was wrecked upon the rocks. " The natives afforded him every efficient aid ; in acknowledgment of which, the captain, on his departure, left the following document: ' " The natives gave us all the assistance in theirpower, from the time the ship struck to the present moment. The first day, while landing the things from the ship, they were put into the hands of the natives, and carried up to the native mission-house, a distance of half a mile ; and not a single article of clothing was taken from any man belonging to the ship, though they had it in their power to have plundered us of everything that was landed ; which fully proves the honesty of the natives of this island. Since I have lived on shore, myself, officers and people have received the kindest treatment from the natives that can be imagined, for which I shall ever be thankful. Myself and officers have lived in the house with Puna, who, together with his wife, have paid every nttention to make us comfortable ; for which I return my unfeigned thanks—being the only compensation from Cnpt. Chase, speaking in the strongest terms of the kindness he had experienced, and informing me that he had committed the cargo add the stores of the vessel to the native teachers; but as they were not acquainted with the relative value of money, he requested me to take the first opportunity of selling the property, and transmitting tho proceeds to the President of the Marine Insurance Company in America. Some two or three months subsequently to this unfortunate occurrence, a trading vessel arrived at Tahiti. The captain, hearing of the wreck; of the Falcon at Rurutu, and that there were only native missionaries at the island, it immediately occurred to him that lie could easily deceive them, and obtain the property ; and instead of coining to Kaiatea and making a lair purchase of me, he raised his anchor, and steered I direct course for Kurutti. On landing he was welcomed by the native missionary, to whom he stated that he had come for the oil belonging to the late Falcon. The missionary asked him if he had not u letter Irom Beni. ' Ceriainly,' replied the captain, but 1 have come from my ship without it; 1 will return for it immediately.' He went off to his vessel and wrote an order, with which he returned to the shore ; affirming it to be from Capt. Chase, he put it into the hands of the missionary. The natives are very unsophisticated at times in the expression of their sentiments and looking the captain significantly in the face, the teacher in his broken English said, You a liar, you a thief, you want to steal this property —you no have it.' The captain, being much enraged at this salutation, or more probably nt being disappointed of his expected booty, began to bluster and storm. The teacher, however, took the captain by the hand, led him into his house, and opened his native journal, in which he had taken the precaution to get Capt. Chase to write ; placing the forged paper by the side of the writing in the journal, he repeated his charge, You a liar, you a thief, you shall not have this property.' The captain threatened to go on board, load his cannon, and take it by force. He left the shore in anger, to carry his threat into execution ; he, however, hoisted his sails and took his departure. We know not from whence he came, nor whither he went. This circumstance shows that the conduct of civilized visitors is not, at all times, calculated to raise the European character in the estimation of the natives. It shows, nlso, that the natives nre not destitute of good sound common sense; while at the same time it exhibits, in a striking light, the advantages the people have derived Irom education. " Capt. Chase rewarded the natives for the assistance they rendered in saving the cargo and stores of the vessel by givingthem a portion of the oil. They immediately formed a Native Missionary Society, and contributed a considerable part of what they hud thus obtained in aid ol the funds of the institution from whose operations they had derived so much advantage ; and in a visit I paid them some time after, they presented me with « set of bills for £60 which they had received from the captain to whom they had sold their contributions.

Long may his life be spared to labor at these islands. His thorough education and former acquaintance with sen-faring life, admirably fit him for usefulness at Hilo. While his brother succeeds so admirably in reproducing in marble and bronze the physical features of the departed, may our Christian brother, in the Gospel ministry, be equally successful in reproducing God's lost image in the soul of man, and in awakening to " newness of life those who are " dead in trespasses and sins."

Gregg.—Many of our residents will note with regret the announcement which appeared in our California correspondence last week, of the death at Carson City, Nevada Territory, of the gentleman whose name is at the head of this article. Mr. Gregg was a man of talent and education, a thorough lnwyer, a genial companion, and always a gentleman. He first came to these Islands in the fall of 1853, in the capacity of United States Commisiioner to this Government, a position which he filled much to the satisfaction of the Government by which he was commissioned, and that to which he was accredited. So well were his talents appreciated by His late Majesty, that on his being relieved in his office as Commissioner, the King offered him the position of Minister of Finance. This Cabinet office he continued to hold until a short time before his departure for. California. Shortly after his arrival in Nevada he received the appointment from President Lincoln of Receiver of Public Lands. Mr. Gregg and the late lamented President had been intimate friends in Illinois, of which State Mr. Gregg had once filled the position of Secretary of State. At the time of his death he was about fifty-four years of age. He leaves a widow and several children. The day after the receipt of the news of his decease the flags ol the Government were displayed at half-mast, as a token of respect.

Andrew Fuller, First Secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society which sent out Dr. Carey and other missionaries to India, was one of the most extraordinary men and one of the greatest theologians of this or any other age. It hns been well said that Fuller is " the Franklin of theology ; " "a man whose sagacity enabled him to penetrate to the depthsof every subject he explored, whose conceptions were so powerful and luminous, that what was recondite and original, appeared familiar; what was intricate, easy and perspicuous in his hands." The following passages in one of his works are words worth weighing: " What ever may be the duty of a nation in extraordinary cases, there is scarcely anything in all the New Testament inculcated with more solemnity, than that individuals, and especially Christians, should be obedient, peaceable and loyal subjects. Nor is there any sin much more awfully censured than the contrary conduct. It requires not only that we keep within the compass of the laws, but that we honor and intercede with God for those who administer them. These duties were pressed particularly upon the Romans, who, by their situation, were more exposed than others to the temptation of joining in factions nnd conspiracies, which were olmost continually at work in that tumultuous city. "Nor does the danger belong exclusively to one side. We may sin by nn adherence to the measures of a government, as well as by an opposition to them. Paul, though he enjoined obedience to the existing government, yet was never an advocate for Roman ambition ; and When addressing himself to a governor, did not fail ' to reason on righteousness, temperance and judgment to come.' It is our duty, no doubt, to consider that many things which seem evil to u.s might appear otherwise, if all the circumstances of the case were known, and therefore to forbear passing husty censures; but on the other hand we ought to beware of applauding everything that is done, lest, if it be evil, we be partnkers of other men's sins, and contribute to their being repeated. " The creat point with Christians should be, an attachment to government, ' as government,' irrespective of the party which administers it; for this is right, and would tend more than anything to promote the Kingdom of Christ. We nre not called in yield up our consciences in religious matters, nor to approve of what is wrong in those which are civil; but we are not at lil*erty to deal in acrimony or evil speaking. The good which results to society from the very worst government upon earth, is great when compared with the evils of anarchy. On this principle, it is probable, the apostle enjoined obedience ' to the powers that were,' even during the reign of Nero. Christians are soldiers under the King of kings ; their object should be to conquer all ranks antl degrees of men to the obedience of faith. If a wise man wishes to gain over a nation to any great and worthy object, he does not enter into their little differences, nor embroil himself in their party contentions, but bearing good will to all, seeks the general good ; by these means he is respected by all, and all are ready to hear what he has to offer. Such should be the wisdom of Christians. There is enmity enough for us to encounter without unnecessarily adding to it. "If a Christian be under the necessity of siding with a party, undoubtedly he ought to be in lavor of that which appears to him the best; but even in this case it is not becoming him to enter with eagerness into their disputes. " By entering deeply into the ' party ' contentions of the nation, religious people on both sides will be charged in their turn with disloyalty; and it may not always be without a cause. But if we enter into the spirit of the Gospel, though we may have our preferences for men and measures, we shall bear good-will to all, and whoever be at the head of affairs shall reverence 'the powers that be-' Whatever be our private opinion of the men, we shall respect and honor the rulers. That loyalty which nperutes only with the prevalence ola party, which ever it be, is at a great remove from the loyalty enjoined by the Scriptures. " By standing aloof from ull parties 'as such,'and approving themselves the friends of government and good order, by whomsoever administered, Christians would acquire a dignity of character worthy of their profession, would be respected by all, and possess greater opportunities of doing good." Railroad Speed. If the rising generation of Californiaformed their opinions ofrailroad speed from the ordinary rate of traveling behind a locomotive on the San Jose road, or on the Alameda nnd Oakland routes, they would make a great mistake. Or even if our citizens of European blood, with their remomhrnnees of costly built English railroad;, fancy that American locomotives runninp over American lines cannot make as great speed as is recorded of* any other line in the world, they make a mistake. The Londoners boast of their Brighton Express, and other fast running trains which for 40, 50 and 60 miles make nearly nnd occasionally quite a mile a minute. The quickest run on record, we believe, as made by an English special train, is 18 miles in 16 minutes; the distance wan short and the conditions favorable. On the New York Central an engine once drew six cars 14 miles in 14 minutes ;on the Pennsylvania Railroad a light train ran 10 miles in 7 minutes and 14 seconds, beating the English instance, though for a shorter distance. Long distances are the best lest of the mechanism on the different roads. On the Hudson River Road a short train ran 144 miles in '2 hours and 4!) minutes. A trim once ran from Indiunopolis to Union City, 84 miles, in 90 minute* ; and another starting from Albany reached Niagara,3os miles, in 1 hours and M 2minutes. The highest speed known on an American railroad—and we know of nothing lietter recorded of any railroad in the world—was attained last month on the Chicago mid Northwestern Railroad, when a train made 91 miles in 90 minutes. If such a speed, by maintaining relief engines along the line of the Central and Union Pacific Railroads, could be kept up from Sacramento to New York when the road is completed, :i man might leave New York on Monday morning at 6 o'clock, spend 48 hours in this State, and be back again in New York at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning. Perfect mechanism and good arrangements might accomplish the feat, but few men are constituted to withstand the fatigue of such ja journey.— Bulletin. John Wesley Iwoski Nagai, a Japanese student in Rutgers College, was baptized the 22d ult., in St. James' Methodist Episcopal Church, New Brunswick, N. J., by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Tiffany. He received, at his own suggestion, the Christian name of John Wesley, in addition to his family name of Iwoski Nagai. This young man left Japan in 1865. After spending two years in Eng- land, he came to this country last spring and began his studies at New Brunswick. Becoming interested in the preaching at St. James' Church, he joined the Sunday-school and regularly attended Divine worship. In October, after several satisfactory interviews with Dr. Tiffany, he expressed a desire to be baptized, and was advised by Dr. Tiffany to receive the riteand postpone joining any particular church till he had thoroughly canvassed the subject. But he preferred to make this investigation immediately, and his examination resulted in confirming his purpose of joining the Methodist church. He wh therefore, baptized by Dr. Tiflanv the 22d ult. The Newark Daily Adttrtimr, after citing these particulars from a stntement made by Dr. Tiffany,adds: '■ Special interest attaches to this case from the fact that, though there is a Protestant Christian mission in Japan, there have been no open professions among the natives, and we believe that John Wesley Iwoski Nagai is, with one single exception, the only baptized native of Japan."— N. *'.

Cheap Ice Pitcher.—The following simple method of keeping ice water for a long time in a common pitcher is worth knowing : Place between two sheets of paper (newspaper will answer, thick brown is better,) a layer of cotton batting about half an inch in thickness, fasten the ends of paper and batting together, forming a circle, then sew or paste a crown over one end, making a box the shape of a stove-pipe hat minus the rim. Place ihis over an ordinary pitcher filled with ice water, making.it deep enough to rest on the table, so as to exclude the air, and the reader will be astonished at the length of time his ice will keep and the water remain cold after the ice is melted. Rev. F. S. Rising, Secretary of the Episcopal Church Missionary Society, who was lost in the late steamboat disaster on the Ohio River, was the author of the pamphlet, "Are there Romanizing Germs in the Prayer Book?" which has made so much stir among Episcopalians in the United States. New Organ at Fort Street Church.— We congratulate the congregation of Fort Street on the successful importation and erection of the new organ, which proves to be so finely toned and suited to tho edifice, Its appeaiance externally improves the interior of the church.

At one period of his life he had been terribly wronged by those professing friendship, which naturally led him to lie severely distrustful of mankind. Most men are willing to trust their fellows, hut not God. «Our departed friend happily coultl trust God, although not his fellow-men. 24 24 24 THE FRIEND. MARCH 1, IBUM. The Rev. R. D. Thompson. Truth Told in Jest. I look old. yet ani I strong and lusty; " Though For in my youth I never did apply ; Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo The means of weakness and debility; Therefore my ago is as the lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly." Thus speaks the good old servant "Adam" in Shakespeare's Comedy of " As You Like It." It appears thnt even in Shakespeare's day the ruinous consequences of intemperance were clearly traceable to their known cause. If men will indulge in the sinful practice of imbibing all sorts of vile compounds sold under the names of whisky, brandy, wine, beer, &c., then they should not complain of pains, aches, sorrows, gout, and the untold number of ills which those are heirs to, who will violate the known laws of their physical constitutions.

He died at Lahaina about the middle of last month, and was there buried. He was born in England, and was a clergyman of the Established Church. We became acquainted with him on his arrival, and our correspondence was continued up to the time of his death. In his habits he was very peculiar and retiring, quite disinclined to form acquaintances. He lived 17 \m Seriis, «ol.2». RevolTutii-PnngC n hina. While the civil war was raging in the United States, and vast armies were marching onward to deadly conflict, on the opposite side of the globe there was raging a warfare vastly more destructive of human life, and involving the weal or woe of not merelya few millions,but hundredsof millions of the human nice. From official reports, it appears that no less than two millions eight hundred and seventy-two thousand, five hundred and fifty persons were killed in China (2,872,550) from August, 1860, to September, 1864, or during a period of only four years. There now lies before us a work, in two large volumes of 842 pages, published in London in 1866, and beautifully illustrated. It is printed in superb style, and the large and clear type is refreshing to a person of weak eyes. The title of the work is as follows: Ti-I'ino Tikn-Kwoh ; the History of the Ti-Ping Rer* olution, including a Narrative of the Author's Personal Adventures.

He went out to China and fought on the side of the revolutionists, somewhat after the same style that the late British Consul, General Miller, went out to South America and joined the army of the revolution, when the reign of the Spanish Viceroys wss overturned. The style of this book resembles General Miller's Memoirs.

The sacrifice of human life alone of the Ti-Ping Revolution exceeded that of the orcat American Keliellion as five to one. The' far reaching results of the Ti-Ping Revolution have only begun to be developed. Among those results we regard Burlingame's Embassy as one. It requires no very deep insight into Chinese politics and affairs to ascertain that had not Hung-Sui-Tshuen and his co-revolutionists brought the Manchoo dynasty to the verge of ruin, the Emperor ol China never would have commissioned the Honorable Mr. Burlingaine to visit America and the Courts of Europe in the capacity of an Ambassador Extraordinary. The careful review of the Ti-Ping Revolution shows what vast changes may be produced, even among so inaccessable a people as the Chinese, by the dissemination of Bible truth. '• Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth." " For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than a twoedged sword." " I will overturn, overturn, overturn it," saith the Lord, "and it shall be no more, until He comes whose right it is." Chinese Meetings at the Bethel. Since the arrival of our Chinese Colporteur, Mr. S. P. Aheong, he has been holding meetings at the Bethel on the Sabbath, and occasionally during the week. The Sabbath evening meetings have been numerously attended. Last Sabbath not less than one hundred were present, who manifested a most thoughtful attention to the preaching. It appears that among Chinese residing in Honolulu several dialects are spoken, as they came originally from different parts of China. Fortunately our Colporteur speaks at least six of these dialects, and last Sabbath evening made addresses in two. Recently two Chinamen met in a store in Honolulu, and were compelled to converse in the Hawaiian language, because unacquainted with each other's dialect. This fact will indicate bow great are the obstacles lying in the way of laboring for the spiritual and religious welfare of this interesting people, whose minds are so quick and alive to the acquisition of new ideas upon all subjects. We are rejoiced to know that the school organized by Mr. Bonner is still continued under the labors of Mr. Tucker. Mr. Aheong is also teaching. He is endeavoring to organize a singing-school among his countrymen. The time has come when, we hope, our Chinese population will be effectually brought within the sympathies and under the influence of Christians upon the islands. �1 II I American Relief Fund. " For ye have the poor with you always, mid whensoever ye will ye may do them good." Thus spake our Saviour eighteen hundred years ago, and the truth of this utterance hits fieen attested by every day's experience since that time. In older and Christian lands the laws provide for the poor, and as years roll away, Hawaiian legislation tends in that direction. Foreigners residing upon these Islands see that there is a propriety in not expecting the Hawaiians in their poverty will provide for the poor among foreigners ; hence have arisen various benevolent associations to care. Ibr those who would not fall under the protection of sonic consul, or the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges. The Germans have their " Club,"and the English their "St. George's Society," which operate within their legitimate spheres. The oldest voluntary association, however, is the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, which has for seventeen years held on its way, aiding those who might appropriately style themselves '• citizens of the world," but owning allegiance only to the ladies. Five years ago the " American Relief Fund Association " wits organized, which holds its annual meeting on Washington's Birthday. We desire to call the attention ofall Americans, not only in Honolulu, but on all parts of the Hawaiian Islands, to the importance of vigorously and systematically sustaining this Fund. A brief report of its operations during- the past twelve months will be found in our columns. The pressing calls upon this Association indicate its necessity and importance. We are not going to expend our time or waste our ink in arguing the propriety of all true and well-to-doAmericans subscribing lo this Fund. No American is worthy of the HUM who demurs, hesitate* or declines subscribing, and yet there arc residing in Honolulu and elsewhere on the Islands, many " Fourth of July " and "spread eagle" Americans, whose names have never been enrolled among the subscribers to this Fund. Wo now call upon them, one and nil, lo come forward. Do not dodge the appeal by the reply that yon are Hawaiians, but pay your tuxes. So do suh»cril>ers pay their taxes for the support of the Hawaiian Government. I><> not dodge tbe appeal by saying, "Oh, we aid privately our poor friends." So do the subscribers. This organization does away with those "subscription papers" which were formerly so freely and frequently circulated. A. J.

This is an important point. To KKIKM). MARCH. I8« 9. it we cnll attention. Now the business is done systematically and efficiently. While the officers of the Association may do their duty, yet the transaction of the business nnd the management of the affair has fallen into the hands of our efficient nnd worthy President, A. J.

Having Witnessed tbe practical working of the Association, we cannot sjienk in two flattering terms of our President's BeaJ. and fidelity.

Bands of these wandering sons of the desert now make continual application for employment, and although it frequently takes them a long lime to get started, still—when they tlo commence—they labor with a will.

Among our obituary notices will be found the record of the deuth of Alexander H. Houston, Esq. His arrival on the coast dates to the ever memorable year, '49, when so many of the enterprising young men of America left their homes in the Eastern States to lay the foundation and build up a new State on the Pacific coast. He came full of ardor and enterprise, and his career during the last twenty years has been identified with the public works and enterprises of Californiu. He has stood among the men of the first rank, commanding the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. Having at' tamed a position, when he fondly hoped to retire and enjoy in foreign travel the fruits of his labors in the sharp conflict of life, he found himself compelled by sickness to seek a milder clime, hoping thereby to recover his declining health and energies. God, however, who "seeth not as man seeth," so ordered that he should come among strangers and end his earthly career. His brief sojourn in Honolulu was sufficient to enlist the sympathies of friends in his welfare, and a goodly number assembled lust Sabbath afternoon at his late residence to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. His death will be mourned among his numerous friends on the Coast, and his loss severely felt among his former business acquaintances in San Francisco. Letters from Honolulu Editors Abroad We were rejoiced to receive full letters from our editorial brethren of the Advertiser and Gazette. The former is still in San Francisco, and writes hopefully respecting the recovery of his hearing. He may or may not return per next " Idaho." If by remaining he can recover his hearing, may he remain all summer; but if not, we shall be most happy soon to welcome him home. Our letter from Dr. Smith, at Washington, was dated in the early part of January. He was laboring away at " Reciprocity." Supposing Mr. Whitney returns with hearing restored, and Dr. Smith with '• reciprocity" achieved, we would suggest that the U. S.

Young man, will you this day begin to serve Christ ? " God sent power with these words. The young man stood up before the congregation, and said in un humble tone. Yes, " sir, I will.'* That very day was the beginning of eternal life in the young man*s soul. Reader, depend upon it, the two answers which Mr. Doolittle got that day are the experience ofall true Christians. Depend upon it, no man ever repents of repentance. No man was ever sorry that he served the Lord. No man ever said, at the end of his days, I have read my Bible too moth. 1 have thought of God too much. I have prayed too much. I have been too careful about mv soul." Oh, no! The people of God woulil always say. "Had I to live my life over again, I woulil walk far more closely with God than ever I have done. lam sorry that I have not served God better; but 1 am not sorry that 1 have served him. The way of Christ may have its cross ; but it is a way of pleasantnesss, and a path of peace." Header, cast fear away, and begin to lie a true Christian without delay. Kepent and lie converted. Take up the cross nnd follow Christ. There may be trials to be borne, and battles to lie fought in the way to heaven. But never doubt for a moment that Christ's service is the best service. Godliness is profitable in the highest sense. It pays. " The ship Gulden Rule, Capt. Hall, on the passage from San Francisco to Liverpool with a valuable cargo, when off Cope Horn. damaged her mainmaat so badly that sail could not l«- carried on it. Capt. Hall immediately went to work and built around the tottering mast a circle of spare spars, which he securely lashed and wedged to it, and in this condition performed the rest of the passago without putting into Kio Janeiro or any intermediate port for another mast. Capi. Penhallow, who was then the agent of the underwriters in Europe, called their attention to the merits of Capt. Hall, and they promptly responded by making him a present of §600 cash. Her Majesty's Board of Trade of London have recently sent, through the British Consul at Philadelphia, a letter to Capt. J. Head, of Providence, stating thnt the Board bad awarded to him a telescope, in recognition of his services in rescuing from drowning a shipwrecked crew of nine persons, belonging to the British ship Ilelicovc, on the 13th of March last. The men had been nine diys without food, and were almost famished. Capt. Head was at the time master of the bripantiuc Jnmes Baker, hailing from Philadelphia, and he landed the unfortunate sailors at Gun Key. A Great Cathedral.—The Roman Cath- olics of London are about to erect a cathedral that will rival any of the cathedrals of the Continent. The site selected is in Westminister, near Buckingham .Palace. The ground alone which it is to occupy has cost no less than $200,000. It will be the first recognized Roman Catholic Cathedral in England since the days of Queen Mary. �lli X rR 11 MO, MARCH, 186 9 ADVEE.TISETVT.ENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. ft V BARTOW, Anrtlonrcr, S.

A man may id some sort tic his hopes and his honors to this weak, shifting ground tackle, to his business, or the world, but a woman without that nnchcr called faith, is a drift and a wreck. A man muyt'lumsily continue u sort of moral responsibility out of relation to mankind ; but u woman in her compnranvely isolated sphere, whereaffection nnd no purpose is the controlling motive, can find no basis in any other system or right action but ttint of faith. A iikiii may craze his brain or lus thought:- to truthfulness, and such poor harborage as fame and reputation may stretch before him, but a woman, where can she put her hopes in storms, if not in heaven ? And that sweet truthfulness—that abiding love— that enduring hope, mellowing every page and scenes of life—lighting them with pleasant radiance, when the world's storms break like an army with cannon—who can bestow its all but a holy soul, tied to what is stronger than an army with cannon ? Who has enjoyed the love of a Christian mother but will echo the thought with energy and hallow it with a tear." The Forged Will. A few years since, a man of high respectability was tried in England on a charge of forging a will, in which it was discovered he had an indirect interest to a large amount. Samuel Warren, the celebrated author of the Diary of a Physician," etc., was associated "with the Prosecuting Attorney, and the case wns tried before Lord Dentnan. The prisoner being arraigned and the formalities gone through with, the prosecutor, placing his thumb over the seal, held up the will and demanded of the prisoner if he had seen the testator sign the instrument; to which he promptly answered, he had. you sign it at his request as " And didwitness subscribing ?"

He also supplied a keg of oil to the parsonage. He believes in the Scripture injunction, " Let your light shine." Capt.

The present seems to us a fitting time to lay the wants and the claims of Oahu College before our readers. Now that the Hawaiian Government is very properly establishing a school in Honolulu on a permanent basis for English speaking children, it is time that public attention should be turned to the importance of putting Oahu College in a position to meet the just expectations o( its friends, and the actual wants of the country. It is time that a school which aspires to stand at the head of the educational institutions of the country should be enabled to take a step in advance, instead of struggling along from year to year, unable to enlarge its course of study, to increase its library or ap- paratus, or to do anything worthy of mention ior the cause of science. For the last four or five years since it ceased to ask aid from the American Board, the institution has been running under close reefed topsails. The time has fully come to shake out the reefs, and to set more sail. The College needs many things, but most of all a professorship of the natural science*, and a new building to contain the library and scientific collections. And here we would remark that an endowed literary institution like Oahu College is intended not merely for the instruction of its pupils for the time being, but to be a seat of learning. Its library is not intended merely for the use of pupils, though it is of great benefit to them both directly, and through the increased facilities it affords their instructors. Indeed, the very presence of a well selected library exerts an influence for good. The true scholar cannot wander through the alcoves, and look at those silent teachers without having his heart stirred within him. The mere familiarity with the names of the standard authors �26 Mil FKIKND, APRIL, I8« 9 various subjects is worth something to the is not prepared to carry out as complete and thorough a course of study as they desire, student.

Five hundred dollars would we think procure one that would answer all the purposes of the institution for a good while to come. It would be an excellent investment of capital, and one which would yield sure and speedy returns. — Seamen. Our special thanks are due to those rive mercantile houses in Honolulu which contributed so liberally for the support of Mr. E. Diinseouibe as a colporteur among seamen. We refer to C. A. Williams, Esq., Charles Brewer & Co., Charles L. Richards & Co., H. Hackfeld & Co., and F. A. Schnefer & Co. The book containing their subscriptions is placed in the hands of C. R. Bishop, Esq., Treasurer of the Honolulu Sailor's Home Society. Any person interested in this cause, and willing to subscribe for its promotion, may do so by calling upon Mr. Bishop. A donation to the cause of $100 was made by J. W. Austin, Esq. Other gentlemen have intimated their willingness to promote the good object. Support of Colporteur for United States Hospital.—We learn that the United States Consul has transferred the management of the Hospital to Dr. McOrew, who has removed the patients to the old Maine Hotel on Kirfg Street. Dr. McGrew's repuiation as a physician and surgeon is a sure guarantee that sick and disabled American seamen will be amply provided for. We have visited the establishment, and find it neatly fitted up with new iron bedsteads and clenn bedding. The apartments are airy, and accommodations good. Books and Papers for Seamen.—During the absence of the chaplain, we sincerely hope families and persons residing in Honolulu and elsewhere upon the islands will liberally supply the colporteur with reading matter for seamen. No one need fear of sending too much. School-books, &c, &c., as well as newspapers and periodicals, are acceptable. Send Harper's " Monthly " and Illustrated papers are eagerly " Weekly." sought for by seamen about to sail on a long cruise. Return Borrowed Books.—We are doing so, and sincerely hope that all persons having books in their possession belonging to our library will return them immediately. Mr. Harry S.

It is a remarkable fact that in the foregoing list, including from twenty to thirty clergymen, Protestant and Catholic, we are not aware that more than two have died, viz Rev. John Diell, first seamen's chaplain, died and was buried at sea in 1841 on his homeward passage around Cape Horn. A monument to his memory has been erected in Nuuanu Valley : Cemetery. The other deceased person is the Rev. R. Armstrong, D. D., who died in Honolulu September 23d, 1860. (2.) The name of the Key. T. D. Hunt is not inserted in the foregoing list, although he preached a few months in Honolulu in 1818. He would probably have soon organized a church, over which he would have been settled as pastor, but the discovery of gold in California nearly depopulated Honolulu of foreign residents, and he also went to San Francisco, where he organized the First Congregational Church. He is now pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Niles, Mich- igan. (3.) The Rev. Mr. Siueatliinan, an English Episcopal clergyman, preached, or rather read, the Episcopal service a few Sabbaths in Honolulu in 1852. (4.) The Rev. H. Bingham resides in New Haven, Ct.; the Rev. E.

The chapel and parsonage were built under his special superintendence in 1833. In regard to all of our associates and fellow laborers, it is our privilege in liear the most unqualified testimony respecting their zeal, ardor and efficiency in their Divine Master's work. They have occupied no sinecures. With some our differences (speaking theologically) have been " totum ceeluin ; " still in the social and ordinary intercourse of life, we have found them genial and pleasant acquaintances and neighbors. There has been room enough for us all to work, and each to conform to his own peculiar views of truth and method of doing good. After men have agreed to disagree upon theological and religious topics, there is still a broad field upon which they can work more or less harmoniously together. It is no small attainment to respect a man's views who diners from you, and at the same time, by a kindly and judicious course, lead him to respect yours. It is only by this method that men—ministers— can dwell together as children of the same Great Parent and Common Saviour. The Pharisees of old made broad their phylacteries and enlarged the borders of their garments, but they did not wear a mantle of charity. As years roll away, we are more and more inclined to enlarge and broaden our mantle of charity, while we are no less tenacious of holding on to the essential truths and doctrines of the Bible. "Judge not, that ye be not judged," was the precept of our Saviour in his sermon upon the mount. We have ever regarded Honolulu as a good place wherein to preach the Gospel, and we have known many good Christian people residing here, ready to co-operate in the building up of the Church of Christ and the spread of the truth. In no part of the world can we expect to find a larger proportion of Christian people, compared with the entire population, nor anywhere could we expect to find those who belter appreciated the labors of Gospel ministers. We have seen that when those preaching the Gospel were faithful and true, the people gathered around them, and appreciated theirlaborsand preaching. Weareconfitlent that those who have been dissatisfied and complained of the good people ofHonothan lulu, tin' fault has been more on on the part of the people. Our experience of a quarter of a century and more has brought us to this conclusion, that when ministers of the Gospel will labor faithfully in their appropriate work, they may always find enough to do, and to employ their hands, heads and hearts, and by minding their Master's and their own business, they would thereby disarm The New York Tribune gives a very striking example of the results of liquor prohibition on a community, in an account ol the flourishing condition of Vinelond, in West Jersey, which was established on the principles, first, that no land should be sold except in small traels to actual settlers, under stipulations which oblige the purchaser to enter at once upon its improvement ; and, second, that there should be no grog shop, lager beer saloon, or other place, licensed or permitted to sell alcoholic liquors, unless the people, at a regular election, should decree otherwise. The setlleineni is now about twelve years old, and contains over ten thousand inhabitants, mostly immigrants in moderate circumstances, who live chiefly by tilling the soil, which is a poor one. Respecting the condition of the little community, the Overseer of the Poor, Mr. S.T. Cortis, reports as follows: " Though we have a population of 10,000 people, for the period of six months no settler or citizen of Vineland has required relief at my hands us Overseer of the Poor. Within seventy days there has only been one case, among what we call the floating population, at an expense of four dollars. " During the entire year there has only been one indictment, and that a trifling cause ol assault and battery among our colored population. " So few are the fires in Vineland that we have no need of a fire department. There has only been one house burnt down in a year, and two slight fires, which were soon put out. We practically have no debt, and our taxes are only one per cent, on the valua- " tion. " The police expenses of Vineland amount to $75 per year, the sum paid to me ; and our poor expenses a mere trifle. 1 ascribe this remarkable state of things, so "nearly approaching the golden age, to the industry of our people and the absence of King Alcohol. " Let me give you, in contrast to this, the state of things in the town from which 1 «ame, in New England. The population of the town was 9,500—a little less than thai of Vineland. It maintained forty liquor shops. These kept busy a police judge, city marshal, assistant marshal, four night watchmen, six policemen. Fires were almost continual. That small place maintained a paid fire department of four companies, of forty men each, at an expense of $3,000 per annum. I belonged to this department for six years, and the fires averaged one about every two weeks, and mostly incendiary. The support of the poor cost $2,500 per annum. The debt of the township was $120,000. The condition of things in this New England town is as favorable in that country as- that of many other places where liquor is sold." Such a statement of facts we should suppose would be quite sufficient to convince legislators and tax payers that grog shops were nuisances of the most costly descripthe fulfill successfully most prejudice, and tion, Truly the public is very patient under minister, viz., the great object of the Gospel the enormous tax which they impose. salvation souls. of �llt 28 THE FRIEND. wini. I. I son. Editor's Visit to the United States. Just twenty-seven years ago to-day, March 10, 1842, we embarked from New York on board the good ship " Victoria," John H. Spring, master, for Honolulu. After a voyage of seven months, touching at Valparaiso and Callao, we reached Honolulu October 19th, and were kindly welcomed by the few foreigners then residing in thiscily. Some few of the old residents still remain. With them, and multitudes more as they have come and gone, we have been permitted to dwell and hold pleasant intercourse. The pages of the briend during the last quarter of a century are a partial record of our life and labors in obedience to our ordination vows as a minister of the Gospel and a chaplain of the American Seamen's Friend Society. On the 7th of November, 1841, the Rev. J. Spaulding, Secretary of that Society, in the "old brick church " of the. Rev. Dr. Spring, gave us our instructions, from which we quote as follows: " The particular field of your labors will be the port of Honolulu, and the special object of your solicitude, prayers and efforts will be the sons of the ocean. * * In this commercial and central position between the coasts of Asia and America, you are to stand erect as a minister of Jesus Christ. With • foreign residents you will be expected to maintain a kind and courteous intercourse ; and if they shall be disposed to attend upon your ministry, you will watch for their souls as one that must give account. Your work, though distinct from that of the missionary brethren there, embraces the same end—the glory of God in the salvation of men. Therefore, you will co-operate with them; avail yourself of their counsels, and let the world behold how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. •• In leaving the United States for a foreign land, you will remember that you leave not you* citizenship behind. At Honolulu you will be a citizen still of the land that pive you birth, and entitled to its civil pro- tection. The honor of your own country, therefore, as well as Christian and professional considerations, will cause you to abstain from all interference with the local and political interests of that people. Never let the preacher of Christ become the partisan of the world." It is not for us to say how far we have •succeeded in complying with those instructions. We know what our honest purpose has been. In the good Providence of God, it has been our privilege to enjoy uninterrupted health. In only two or three instances have we been prevented by illness from fulfilling every appointment upon the Sabbath and week day. Aside from an occasional vacation to the other islands, a trip to Oregon and California in '49, to the Eastern Suites in '51, und n voyage to Micronesia in I, I- l{ 11-, \ I). APRIL. IS6 9. '61, we have labored at our assigned post of duty. To all seamen or landsmen who have in any manner, privately or publicly, contributed for our support, or for sustaining any of those enterprises which we have aimed to carry forward, we now return our sincere thanks. We are not unmindful of the fact that without " let or hindrance," and with much encouragement from the Hawaiian Government, we have lived and labored under three Kanehameiias. During our absence, we have made such arrangements that we hope the affairs of this chaplaincy will move along harmoniously and prosperously. The supply of the regular preaching upon the Sabbath is entrusted to a Committee of the Bethel Church, viz., Thomas Thrum, Daniel Foster and Joseph O. Carter. The I'rieud will be continued and appear regularly on the Ist of each mouth. All business relating to donations and subscriptions is entrusted to Mr. E. Dunscombe, the colporteur for seamen ; office at the Sailor's Home. It is our design to correspond for its columns while abroad. Mr. D. is instructed to distribute the Friend gratuitously among seamen of all nations visiting the port, and it is to be hoped donors will come forward with their donations, as in former years. The Bethel will be sustained by the American Seamen's Friend Society and the cooperation of the friends of the establishment in Honolulu and among seamen. The usual annual appropriation of $800 from the New York Society will be devoted to the support of the preaching and the sustaining of the colporteur. We especially regret leaving just now, from the fact of the Bethel having recently become the centre of the Chinese missionary operations, Mr. Aheong preaching there Sabbath evenings to an audience of over one hundred of his countrymen. A free school of twenty scholars has been organized, which will be taught three evenings each week by Mr. Dunscombe. Most sincerely we hope this enterprise will not be suffered to languish by the good people of Honolulu anil the isl- ands generally. A Curious Dream, but Suggestive.—We recently met the President of Oahu College, and he remarked that his night visions had been remarkable. He fancied himself on a visit to his old Alma Mater, Vale College, New Haven, and while there enjoying the kind hospitalities of his old professors, a wealthy gentleman entered bringing bags of gold. One after another was deposited upon the floor. This treasure was for the endowment of a Professorship. But in what college ? " Vale ? " Oh no, but " Oahu College ! " It was furthermore remarkable the amount of the endowment was $35 000. The dream so harmonized with our matter-of-fact plea for Oahu College in our present issue, that we could not well refrain from publishing it, even without asking our worthy President's permission. '• I had a dream, which was not all a dream," says Byron, and we hope our plea for Oahu College may not prove, in the language of Shakespeare, "such stuff as dreams are made of." Term Examination at Oahu College.— The faculty have commenced holding examinations at the close of each term. These are even more thorough and exacting than the annual examination at the close of the year. Pupils in Ike languages, Latin and Greek, are furnished with " printed exercises " for translation, and arc required to furnish written answers and translations, without the aid of a dictionary or grammar. This is after the style of the best schools in England and America. Personal.—Some six years ago Joel Bean and wife visited the Sandwich Islands. They were members of the Society of Friends. During their sojourn they became much interested in the Hawaiian people and many of the mission families. Letters recently received from Mr. Bean indicate that he still retains a lively interest in this part of the world. Mr. and Mrs. Bean are now principals of a large school at West Branch, lowa. An old subscriber on Long Island, once engaged in the whaling business, desires to subscribe "forever" for the Friend, and inquires how he shall make remittance. For his information and that of all other subscribers in the United States, we would say, send through the post-office United States postage stamps of 2, 5 and 10 cent value. It is a source of much gratification that the " Bethel," the Friend and the " Home " are all free from debt, and we confidently hope the friends of seamen anil others will manifest their good will towards them in time to come as they have in times We thankfully received from William past.

Evidently they were just from sea, judging from their weather-beaten faces, and hands badly scarred with hard usage, and clothes just from the"chat," wrinkled anil soiled. Their red undershirts and general appearance showed indisputably that they were tailors. They came to church as worshipers, bringing with them their polyglot Bible, gilt edged nnd illustrated. They were familiar, too, with its contents. They followed the pastor in the rending of the Scriplure lesson and in looking for the text, anil were thankful for the hymn-hook kindly handed them by a lady in an adjoining pew. More, they paid close attention to the sermon, nor did they forget their offering to the Lord when the plate was pawed around. We would like to know more of the history ol these two lads. Hut we will venture to say that they have or had praying mothers, and that their visit to the house of (>od was in answer to the prayer of faith. The writer has a brother who once went down to the sea in ships, and did business upon the great waters. He went away from home hardened, intemperate, and with other besetting sins. His patents mourned and grieved to part with their Benjamin, but round and round the world he went, followed by a faithful mother's prayers. Those prayers were answered. He came back and took up his residence in one of the Western States, and after serving a probationary term of two or three years, returned to his native town, nnd now for many long years he has been a man of mark in New York, ami il 10-day at the head of a banking house in that State. His aged mother still lives, and he is a source of rmtCfl happiness nnd comfort to her, now that she is old and well stricken in yean. Though upwards of 84 years of age, she still U'licvt's in the efficacy of prayer,ami knows, like the writer of this, that the prayer ol the righteous availeth much.—Pacific. CaptinAdams. A lew days ago we met the captain of the ship " California," now in tins port, live months from Boston. He is the son of the Rev. Dr. N. Adams, of the Kssex Street Congregational Church in Boston. We had seen him once before in this city, a few years ago. /Capt. Adams is a very young iimn still, very competent, skillful and trustworthy man. He makes his ship a kintl of floating Bethel. He is an actively religious man, and secures other oaken mid a crew m sympathy with himself, when it is practicable. He conducts daily morning and evening worship in the cabin, holds special Sunday services, and has a social or Bible class meeting every Wednesday night. Thus he carries his church with him to sea, and offers the blessings and privileges of it to the little world about him. On tins lust voyage out he was accompanied by Mr. Lovejoy as a passenger, who came fresh from college to this coast for health and recreation, prior to entering on his studiesfor the Christian mm I mihMi.

Ah, if all captains were such as this one is, nnd all ships were favored with such religious exercises us liis ship is, how pleasant it were to go to sea, how few ipiarrels there would Ih' on lioanl, how few arrests on arriving in port, how sale would the cargo lie, ami how practicable il would be for men In bi'conii' mariners, anil ■fill improve in knowledge, manners, elm meter ami useful- 9 - tainly iiinke a broken voyage, and founder and miserably perish, without even reaching the port of heaven.

In this city of Washington there are a large number of Sunday-schools, and much zeal and interest manifested in carrying then on. It was Christmas time when I arrived here, ami several of the schools were preparing to keep tlie anniversary of the birth of the infant Jesus.

PASSAGE OF THE lIIAHO. The distance from South Knrrjlonc Light to four miles south of Makapua, island of Oahu, is 2,044 miles on the arc of a great circle—so reports Captain Floyd—hence the distance from Honolulu to San Francisco is about 2,100 miles.

Most of the time we were much assisted by favorable winds which increased our speed about two knots per hour, while ordinarily the speed of the vessel was seven knots when not under sail.

The city is evidently growing very fust, and stretching out fur over the sand hills. Since our arrival the weather has been beautiful. The air is rather sharp and crispy, which makes the pedestrian walk with vigor and animation. We feel highly invigorated. We have met many old friends and acquaintances, some of whom we have not seen for nearly a score of years. Among (hem is William Hooper, Ksq., who has kindly piloted us to interesting parts of the city. Yesterday be accompanied us through the well supplied and neatly kept market*.

Montgomery street is to he extended, and oilier streets are being graded. New and coatly buildings are in process of completion. The effects nl the earthquake are rapidly disappearing. In referring to Mr. Hooper I cannot refrain from alluding to bis great success in managing the Funded Debt of San Francisco. We can well remember about eighteen years ago when lie undertook this work, to which he has devoted nearly twenty years, the best part of his life, Ml I salary of only $2")0 per month or $3,000 per annum. His business capacity would have placed him at the head of any mercantile establishment in the city when he was appointed to his preseot office. He was then a member of the old firm of Cross & Co. His public services have been invaluable to the city. Some of the older residents at the Islands will remember Mr. H. as the gentleman who was once the U. S. Consul. To him also belongs the honor of first commencing the culture and manufacture of sugar at Koloa, Kauai. In 183(5, or when he first commenced cultivation, not an ox had been broken to the yoke on that island, and, if we have been correctly informed, kanakas drew the first plow! But we have wandered far from the city, the din o( which now fills our ears. We have been here only four days, and yet we have seen much, and hope to see much more before our departure. We enjoy We first visited this city in 1349, and we now find, after an absence of twenty years, a very different state of things from what was then to be witnessed. The first thing which strikes our attention is the sumptuous style of the hotels. The accommodations at the Lick House strangely contrast with our lodging on the soft side of a floor board, with one blanket, in '49. Then, for a restaurant, we resorted with the merchants of the city to a tent where a negro provided for his guests in every style. It was the best the city then afforded. Now we find hotels, churches, warehouses, stores and al! the other elements of a great and prosperous city, resembling cities of older lands.

Dr. Stone on " Individuality," while last evening we hoard a Catholic priest lecture upon "Common Sense." It was u long lecture, occupying one hour and a half. We can remark that the speaker's ideas of common sense, as applied to history and Christianity, would not correspond to those of a Protestant. In the course of his remarks ho referred to the fact that Protestant ministers had compared the Catholic Church to the Apocalyptic lady clothed ill scarlet. He facetiously added : " I wonder if she exhibited the Grecian bend." In alluding to Protectant sects he employed the phrase, "Out Christian brethren." Tins tallies with the spirit of the Pope's late letter to the Protestant world, wherein he ipeaka of Christian*.—heretics of course— although not good Catholics. We wonder if Rome is not altering lier tactics ! Her doctrines may not change, but her bearing towards other sects may! The truth is, even Koine must conform to the spirit of progress of the l!)th century. ISF.V. nil. scimiukk's i.kctiikb. On Tuesday evening, March .'30th, the second alter landing in San Francisco, we attended a lecture delivered by Dr. Scudder, on "Hindoo Philosophy" and "Boston Tranccndentalism." The Bevcrond speaker compared the two systems on these five points—God, Matter, Man. Futurity and Salvation. As the speaker was born in India, and had spent twenty years of missionary life preaching in the streets of that mys- terious land, it was interesting to listen to a popular exposition of Hindoo philosophy. We felt that be was speaking upon a subject which he had thoroughly studied and made a speciality. When lie came to expose the errors of the Boston Traneciidcntalists—of whom IJ. W. Emerson is the exponent we also felt that he was not stepping upon ground which he had not fully explored. His references were full and to the point. The comparison was by no means favorable to the Yankee philosopher. A full report of bis lecture has appeared in the " Bulletin," and we copy the closing para- — graphs : Hindooism is a compact system, but " transcendentalism is loose and disjointed, varying with each individual reason, and yielding no authority to Revelation, but all to private reason. The Hindoos hammered out their belief on their own anvil, while the Transcendentalistsof Boston purloined theirs from the briefly written magazines and books of French authors, and palmed them off second hand. They were so much inflated with their ideas of self that they were much like the man who, whenever he spoke of himself, reverently took off his hat. The Hindoos have some foundation for their belief and have set up some landmarks by which they try to steer; but the Transcen- �di'ntalisls had none—no two of these gentlemen squinted the same way. It was possible to understand Hindoo philosophy; bat the doctrine of the Transeendentalists was moonshine. One could get hold of it no more than lie could get hold of two bands* ftil of moonshine. Transcendentalism is like a soap bubble filled with wind. The Transeendentalists are now studying Hindoo, and love Brahminism, which is mind,dissevered from its moral character. He had beard that some of them were learning the Hindoo language, believing that they could find a strong resemblance in the two systems. He thought they were getting on the right track and if thev wish to make a journey 10 that country he would Ik' happy to give them letters of introduction to the chief priest of a grand old temple, and to the driver ol the car of juggernaut. The doctrine of the Hindoo, to that of transcendentalism, was like the lofty and towering locust compared to the vine in an obscure dungeon. Ho would refer them to the reasoning of a Brahmin, relative to the Creation,as follows: God made all things, consequently be must have existed first, and as be created liglit, where darkness existed before, he must he darkness. If he were to hear a lie, he preferred a good oik —one that would make him gag, and create astonishment. The doctrine of transcendentalism,compared to Hindoo philosophy, was like a puny tadpole compared to it huge hull-frog sitting on the end of a log. And U tadpoles eventually became frogs, if they did not die, there was vet some hope for these Boston Mushroom K N I), ■AV . I S ft 9. are located in various parts of the city.

KP" During our passage on board the "Idaho" we accidentally heard Judge H. relate the following incident, which occurred on board a Panama steamer hound to San We requested him to write out the sketch, which is as follows I Ei>. Francisco. The Colored Prenclier. 1 was traveling one summer on the Pana- ma steamer to San Francisco. The ship's company and passengers numbered some twelve hundred. Of nil this community, apart by himself, among the steerage passengers, was a colored man, apparently unnoticed, except by casual and scornful remarks about "that big nigger dressed in black." He was a powerfully built man, almost black, wilh large, well-shaped and intelligent features. One Sunday, after a morning Episcopal service and a sermon in the afternoon from a Methodist or Baptist minister, it was proposed by some of the passengers that the negro, who was ascertained to bo a preacher, thould be asked to hold an evening service, After some hesitation, he finally was induced to officiate. The large cabin was full. Everyone was present, some from good motives, some from curiosity, others, 1 (ear, from a mischievous idea that they were to find matter for ridicule in the service. The preacher, after a short prayer, a hymn, and a selection from Scripture.closed his book and delivered an address of some thirty minutes, which I have rarely heard equalled for eloquence, simplicity and effectiveness. The deep tones of his voice, not raised above the natural conversational key, were distinctly heard throughout the cabin. Without hesitating for a word, but deliberately, he first reminded his hearers of the solemn warning of their common humanity just received, in the death of a poor woman among the passengers, who with her children was on her way to join her husband in California. Then he spoke of the profanity, gambling and frivolity he had observed on board among " well dressed passengers, officers of the vessel, and all with only a plank between them and the shoreless ocean of eternity." Every word told, and was intently and respectfully listened to, and, when he had closed, there was not one of his hearers but instinctively felt that a true, fearless Christian man had stood before them. I will venture to say that not one was there who was not convinced of the error and disgraceful wrong we do in entertaining prejudice against any man merely on account of color. Every young man should remember that the world will always honor industry. The vulgar and useless idler, whose energies of body and mind are rusting for want of occupation, may look on him with scorn—it is praise ; his contempt is honor. Miss Emily Faithful is one of the Women's Kights speakers of Ureat Britain. In a recent address in the V SqUare RooiT,s she said that of ooo orU «0,000,000 ' women of England, 2,500,000 most prominent were unmarried. I). MAY.

To turn home was equally impossible. She must find shelter. The wild cat's or fox's den would be welcome. After wandering for some time among the huge fragments of granite which skirted the base of the overhanging precipices, she at last found a sheltered nook. She crouched beneath a projecting rock, and pressed her child to her trembling bosom. The storm continued to rage. The snow was accumulating overhead. Hour after hour passed. It became bitterly cold. The evening approached. The widow's heart was sick with fear and anxiety. Her child —her only child—was all she thought of. She wrapped him in her shawl. But the poor thing had been scantily clad, and the shawl was thin and worn. The widow was poor, and her clothing could hardly defend herself from the piercing cold of such a night as this. But whatever might become of herself, her child must be preserved. The snow, in whirling- eddies, entered the recess, which afforded them at best but miserableshelter. The night came on. The wretched mother then stripped off almost all her own clothing and wrapped it round her child, whom at last in despair site put into a deep crevice of the rock, among some heather and fern. And now she resolves, at all hazards, to brave the storm, and return home in order to get assistance for her babe, or perish in the attempt. Clasping her infant to her heart, and covering his fac-5 with tears and kisses, she laid him softly down in sleep,and rushed into the snowy drift. That night of storm was succeeded by a peaceful morning. The sun shone from a clear blue sky, and wreaths of mist hung along the tops of the mountains, while a thousand waterfalls poured down their sides. Dark figures, made visible at a distance by the white ground, may now be seen with long poles, examining every hollow near the nature of that " love which seeketh not her own," be narrated the above story of the Highland widow, whom he had himself known in his boyhood, and he asked, "If that child is now alive, what would you think of his heart, if he did not cherish an affection for his mother's memory; and if the sight of her poor tattered cloak, which she had wrapped round him, in order to save his life at the cost of her own, did not (ill him with gratitude and love too deep for words? Yet what hearts have you, my henrers. if, in memory of your Saviour's sacrifice of himself, you do not feel them glow with deeper love and with adoring grautude ? " A few days after this, a message was sent by a dying man requesting to see this clergyman. The request was speedily complied with. The sick man seized the minister by the hand, and, gazing intently in his face, said •• You do not, you cannot recognize me. But I know you, and knew your" father before you. I havebeen a wanderer in many lands. I have visited every quarter of the globe, and fought and bled for my country. I came to this town a few weeks ago in bad health. Last Lord's day I entered yourchurch—the church of my countrymen —where I could once more hear, in the language of my youth and of my heart, the gospel preached. I heard you tell the story of the widow and her son;" here the voice ol the old soldier faltered, his emotion almost choked his utterance ; but, recovering himself for a moment, he cried, " I am that son ! " and burst into a flood of tears. » Yes," he continued, "myI am that son ! Never, never did I forget mother's love. Well might you ask what a heart should mine have been if she had been forgotten by me. Dear, very dear to me is her memory ; and my only desire now is to lay my bones beside hers in the old churchyard among the hills. But, sir, what breaks my heart and covers me with shame is this—until now I never truly saw the love of my Saviour ingivin; himself for : �II! i; ft XI X M 1), me—l confess it! I confess it! "he cried, looking up to heaven, his eyes streaming with tears; and, pressing the minister's hand close to his breast, he added, " It was God who made you tell that story. Praise be to His holy name that my dear mother did not die in vain, and that the prayers which I was told she used to offer for me have been ot lust answered ; for the love of my mother has been blessed in making me see, as I never saw before, the love of my Saviour.

In 1853, Lieutenant Brooke obtained mud from the bottom of the North Atlantic, between Newfoundland and the Azores, at a depth of more thai; ten thousand feet, or two miles, by the help of his sounding apparatus. The specimens were sent for examination to Ehrenberg, of Berlin, and to Baily, of West Point, and those able microscopists found that this deep sea mud was almost entirely composed of the skeletons of living organism —the greater proportions of these being just like the Globigcrmrc, already known to accur in the chalk. Thus far the work had been carried on simply in the interests of science, but Lieut. Brooke's method of sounding acquired a high commercial value when the enterprise of laving down the telegraphic cable between Great Britain and the United States was undertaken. For it became a matter of immense importance to know not only the depth of the sea over the whole line along which the cable was to be laid, but the exact nature of the bottom, so as to guard against chances of cutting or fraying the strands of that costly rope. The Admiralty consequently ordered Captain Dayman, an old friend and shipmate of mine, to ascertain the depth of the whole line of the cable, and to bring back specimens of the bottom. In former days such a command as th's might have sounded very much like one of the impossible things which the young prince in the Fairy Tales is ordered to do before he can obtain the hand of the princess. However, in the months of June and July, 1557, my friend performed the task assigned to him with "reat precision, without, so far ns I know, having met with any reward of that kind. The specimens of Atlantic mud which he procured were sent to me to be examined and reported upon. The result of these operations is that we know the contour and nature of the surfacesoil covered by the North Atlantic for a distance of 1,700 miles from enst to west, as well as we all know that of any part of the dry land. It is a prodigous plain—one of the wildest and most even plains in the world. If the sea were drained off you might drive a wagon all the way from Valentia, on the west coast of Ireland, to Trinity Bay, in Newfoundland. And, except upon one sharp incline, about two hundred miles from Valentin, I am not quite sure that it would even be necessary to put the skid on, so gentle are the ascents and descents on that long route. From Valentin the road would lie down hill for about three hundred miles to the point at which the bottom is now covered by 1,700 fathoms of sea water. Then would come the central plain, more than one thousand miles wide, the inequalities of the surface of which would be hardly perceptible, though the depth of the water upon it varies from 10,000 to 15,000 feet; and there arc places in which Mount Blanc might be sunk without showing its peak above water. Beyond this, the ascent on the American side commences, and gradually leads, for about three hundred miles, to the Newfoundland shore. Almost the whole bottom of this central plain (which extends lor many hundred miles in a north and south direction) is covered hy a fine mud, which, when brought to the surface, dries into a grayish white friable substance. You can write with this on a blackboard, if you are so inclined, and to the eye it is quite like very soft, grayish chalk. Examined chemically, it proved to be composed almost wholly of carbonate of lime; and if you make a section of it in the same way as that of a piece of chalk was made, and view it with a microscope, it presents innumerable Globigerinaj embedded in the granular matrix. Thus the deep sea mud is substantial- ly chalk.—[Prof. Huxiey. To the Slaves ok Tobacco.—We find the following in an exchange, and would advise all of our tobacco-chewing readers to try it: !.

While the purity and usefulness of his character, worthy of the honored name he bore, had won the regard and affection of all whom his modesty would admit to a knowledge of his worth, his services in his chosen department of science gave promise of great usefulness and distinction ; and it seems altogether fitting that the friends of Hawaii, which was the scene of his early labors and of his first recognized success, should acknowledge their deep sense of the W which they hare sustained in his early death. ' 37 IA V, iB6O. Progress of the Gospel in Si'AIn.—The Secretaries af the American and Foreign Christian Union have kindly furnished us with the following facts, just received from Mr. Henry C. Hall, their missionary director in Spain. They state that thus far no other Society has proposed to employ, men colporters, or evangelists, in Spain. The Union, because it is American, has every advantage there for successful missionary work, and it designs to do as much as the Christians of America will authorize by their contributions. After giving detailed esiimates for printing the Bible, Mr. Hall writes : '•As regarding the advisability of printing here, there can be but one opinion, it seems to me. mitted The facts are : Spain has never per- the entry of foreign-printed Spanish books. 2t\.

For want of other printed truth, Mr. Alonzo and myself have commenced the publication ola weekly newspaper, filled with the facts and stories of the Gospel of Christ, together with an exposition of portions of the Word of God. We are working through all the channels open to us, and the cause of Christ daily and obviously advances. Mr. Alonzo is addressing audiences of ten to fifteen hundred in Seville, in Roman Catholic churches, which for the time have been abandoned. He says :" If you could see the immense multitudes who attend these meetings, you would remember the words of the Master, 'The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.' Must we," he adds, "lose this blessed opportunity of telling these of Jesus, the beauty of His doctrine, and what He did for them and for us, because the meetings are called under the name of clubs'?"— [Evangelist.

The whole yarn is a fabrication, as Mrs. Sigourney never lost a son by drowning. This same Hawes robbed Mrs. Sigourney of her silver plate on one occasion, and in return for her kindness in visiting him at the state prison, where he was subsequently incarcerated, pestered the good woman by publishing verses of his own purporting to be hers. His wrote from crnziness seems to run in a singular vein. Now read this: A correspondent writes from St. Albans to the New York Sun, a, strikingly sensational account of the existence of a son of the late Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney, of Hartford, who was reported to have been drowned in the East Hirer at New York in 1857. The person who was drowned, and had been known through his life as hep son. was one exchanged in infancy for her child. This startling statement rests on confessions and documents of a dying woman, which will shortly be given to the public. Mrs. Sigourney's genuine son served in the war, and returned home a major, and now lives in a Vermont town. �I III: FK I 38 a voice Which once guided my way, When lost on tlie sea I rfvkvrkii Fog enshrouded 1 lay ; 'Twos tbe voice of a child, As he stood on the shore— It sounded out clear O'er the dark billow's roar, "Come this way. my father!

My Father," was written by me during a season of great affliction, —occasioned by the loss of my darling little Frank (the hero of the story). The narrative and song were first published in the Waterville " Mail," in the year 1860. The scene of the occurrence was Boothbay, a little harbor about filtcen miles east of Bath. During a short visit to tbe sea-shore of our State, some two years since, with a party of friends, it was proposed one bright afternoon that we should make up a party and go down the harbor on a fishing excursion. We accordingly started, mid after sailing about three miles, a young lady of the company declined going further, and requested us to land her on one of the small islands in the harbor, where she proposed to stay until our return. My little boy, then about four years old, preferred remaining with her. Accordingly we left them, and proceeded some six miles further. We remained out much longer than we intended, and, as night approached, a thick fog set in from the sea, entirely enshrouding us. Without compass, and not knowing the right direction to steer, we groped our way along for some hours, until we discovered the breaking of the surf on the rocks of one of the islands, but were at a loss to know which one of them. I stood up in the stern of the boat, where I had been steering, and shouted with all my strength. I listened a moment, and heard, through the thick fog, and above the breaking of the surf, the sweet voice of my boy calling, "Come this way, father, —steer straight for me,—I'm waiting for you! " We steered by that sound, and soon my little boy leaped to my arms with joy, saying. •' I knew you would hear me, father ! " and nestled to sleep on my bosom. The child and the maiden are both sleeping now. They died in two short weeks after the period I refer to, with hardly an interval of time between their deaths. Now, when tossed upon the rough sea of life, without compass or guide, enveloped in fogs and surrounded by rocks, I seem to hear the sound of that cherub voice calling from the bright shore, " Come this wny, father,—steer straight for me!" When oppressed with sadness, I take my way to our quiet cemetery, and still, as 1 stand by one little mound, the same musical voice echoes from thence, "Come this way, my father,—I'm waiting for thee!

Now, however, he was not there, and, on inquiring where he had gone to, I found it was to a low pari of the town. Here, in such a home as only a drunken man can live in, 1 found him laid upon a straw bed, sleeping off the effects of the previous night's debauch. His poor children were clothed in rags, and the appearance of his broken-hearted wife I shall not soon forget.

Whatever you choose to return for the favor will he devoted tv the support of our Free Public Library and Reading Room, '£\2 Sutter street." We were of course very glad to receive tbe letter. On our return to the city we called at the office of the Y. M. C. A., where we learned that twice each week an officer of the Association goes to the San Francisco Post Office and sends forward all letters detained for the want of postage stamps. Having often done this same kind of work at Honolulu, we were glad to find bread cast upon waters returning after many days! We wonder if any sailor's letters are now detained in the Honolulu Post Office for want ol postage? If so, we hereby authorize the Postmaster General to send forward all such imprisoned epistles, and charge the same to Box " 99." The object of the Y. M. C.

The Board of Directors is composed ol one from each of the Protestant churches ot San Francisco. We noticed the Board was composed of 2.'s members, hence we infer there are at least so many Protestant churches in this growing city, where our old associate, the Rev. T. Dwight Hunt commenced his labors in the fall of 1848. How vividly we remember the time when report came to Honolulu that persons dying here had no clergyman to officiate at their funerals. We conferred with Rev. Mr. Hunt, and uiged him to visit this city. He did so, and the First Congregational Church was subsequently organized under his ministry, Now we see that church first on the list of those supporting the Y. M. C.

Such an opportunity was afforded on Thursday, April 124. The first object which attracted nur attention was the immense Dry Dock, capable of lifting a frigate, with all its armament, "high iind dry" out of the water. Only a few days before our arrival the •• Pensacola," flag-ship of the North Pacific Squadron, was thus elevated with all on board, and the Admiral's (lag flying and sentry patrolling on his usual round. This dock is constructed in sections, so that it may he adjusted to the size of the vessel which needs repairing. By the kindness ul Paymaster Matey, our party was conducted over the grounds and through the extensive works, where every description ol machinery was in readboilers, iness to turn out steam-engines and and whutever might be required for the construction or repair of vessels belonging to the Navy of the United States. Solidity, durability, and strength, characterize buildings, machinery and the extensive works. Dwellings for the commandant and officers, together with ample barrack-accommodations for sailors and marines, when detached from vessels in commission, were situated at convenient distances from the water's edge. The grounds and gardens were beautifully laid out and neatly kept, besides undergoing constant improvements. Among the immense quantities ol the war-material scattered on the grounds, our attention was attracted to two " 10-inch " guns, belonging to one of the .Monitors lying in the harbor, either the " Camanchc " or " lMonadnock.*' Each weighed over 21 tons. They were decidedly " big guns," and when W« knew that they possessed reserved power sufficient to send a shell or solid shot six or seven miles, wo felt no inclination to turn rebel, unless certain of M.

We do not now wonder that the navul engagement between the " Merriinac " and the first Monitor built by Ericsson, in Hampton Roads, revolutionized the whole system of naval warfare, and led to the practical banishment of wooden vessels from all the navies of the world. A person can form no adequate idea of the strength and resistance of a real iron-clad until he has inspected a Monitor. The prestige given to our country Iruin having built the first Monitor, exceeds all that would have l>eeii obtained by victory in a hundred battles, on sea or hind. Capt John Ericsson, who has just died at Rie.hland, N. V., has thereby conierred an honor upon his adopted country fully equal to that of Fulton, who discovered the method of applying steam to the propelling of vessels on water. Not only does this honor belong to Ericsson, but also that of the threebladed screw-propeller, the caloric engine, and how inanv other inventions we know not. Mure Island is about three miles lung and hall a mile wide. It is entirely owned by the Government, and probably will remain the great Naval Depot of the Pacific coast so long as the Republic shall stand. Subsequent appropriations of Congress will enable the Navy Department to increase, onlarge, and perfect the already extensive works upon the island. Should Vallejo be made the Grand Terminus of the Pacific Railroad, it appears altogether proper that travelers and visitors from the East to the I'acitic coast should be brought to face the iNaval Power of the United States when they laud from the cars, after their long journey across the continent. OAKLAND, BENICIA, VAI.LEJO AISD SANTA CI.AUA. During our sojourn in California, we have enjoyed the privilege and improved the opportunity of visiting some of the rising Ujwiis in the vicinity ol Sun Francisco. Our first visit was to San Mateo, and .next we went over to Oakland. This city stands in the relation to San Francisco that Brooklyn does to New York. It is a growing and prospcrons city. We were most favorably disappointed in its appearance. Its nvennee, street! and public squares are spacious and well laid out. It is a city of public School* nnd higher seminaries of learning. When the University is well established, Oakland will become the Cambridge ol the Pacific coast. Its many eligible sites for building beautiful residences ami public edifices will render Oakland all that its sanguine admirers now claim for it. We rude out to the neighboring town of Brooklyn and caught a good view of the surrounding country. The keeping beyond their range. Our cariosity was soon to be gratiliad by inspecting the preal wonder of this warlike Ige. We reter to ■ real iron-clad Monitor, the •' Mnuadnock." a vessel which had been under tire .it Fort Fisher, for upon her sides were the marks or indentations ol reW shot. This was the. first Monitor wa bad ever seen. After entering h<-r turrets, going below her decks, and exploring forecastle, ward-room, furnaces, and tnflMOi we experienced something of the >au.e feeling that the Queen of Sheba gave utterance to when she had surveyed the wealth and ipncniliccncc of Jcru.vslcm. in the days nl Solomon—" the half before ohw-U not told lie.'' We never progress prospect was charming. lh* no vivid sn imnrobsion of tainca 43 Benicia still retains the appearance which it presented at our visit eighteen years ago. This too is to be a place for seminaries of learning. In addition to the Catholic Nunnery, and the flourishing Female Seminary of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Mills, the new Theological School and Seminary of the Episcopal Church bus been there established. We spent three days at the Female Seminary of Mr. Mills, and wen? most favorably impressed with the order and arrangement of the institution. It is just the school needed for the young ladies of California. Parents having daughters there may well congratulate themselves upon the fact that they are taught by a corps ol' teachers in every respect qualified for their responsible task. Y\ c attended recitations in Latin, Natural Theology, Butler's Analogy, and Rhetoric, which would have done honor to any college in the laud. While referring to the success of this Seminary, we cannot refrain from alluding to the noble work which Miss Atkins Mrs. Lynch) performed for female education on this coast. She gave an impetus to the cause of temale education at a most critical and important period in the history of this State. At Benicia her name is still remembered with high esteem. It was our privilege to become acquainted with this lady at Honolulu on her voyage to Japan, China and Siatu. We copy the following Irom the Cleaveland Leader of March 30th I " The many friends of that accomplished lady, Miss Mary Atkins, were agreeably surprised to learn of her marriage with John Lynch, a member of the Louisiana Legislature, which was solemnized at St. Paul's Church Sunday evening. She received her education at Oberlin, where she graduated with honor. Some twelve years ago she went to California and established the Benicia Female Seminary, which became an institution of high repule. Subsequently she accompanied a nephew of hers, Capt. Turner, formerly of Geneva, Ohio, who commanded a clipper ship, to China, Japan and Siam, and for a lady traveler saw much of those strange countries. Mrs. Lynch, for the brief period she has resided in this city since her return from California, has created a large circle of warm and admiring friends, and her presence in our midst will be sadly missed." At Benicia we were gratified lo meet one more our old friend, Capt. Walsh, who gavn us such a cordial welcome to the, Paci6c twenty-seven years ago, when we landed in Valparaiso, Chile, after a voyage around Cape Horn, while he was there, residing as a prosperous merchant. Years have dealt kindly with this veteran of the seas, who achieved a wide reputation some thirty or forty years ago as commander of the famour American brig "John Gilpin." running between Mexico and China. Vallejo receives its name from Gencr*! �44 THE Vallejo, so well known in the history of California before it became a part of the United States. The city is well situated, and des. fined lo become, ns the inhabitants confi. dently predict, the Chicago of this part of the world. It is the natural outlet of a large wheat-growing region, and is connected by railroad with Sacramento. Some predict that the great Pacific Railroad will make its It is shunted exactly opposite Mare Island Navy Yard. The harbor is good, and the site for a large city most excellent. The tninds of many are fully possessed with the idea that in a few years broad streets and avenues will extend far over hill and valley, and that a thriving population will gather hither. We hope their expectations may be fully realized. A grain elevator is now being constructed at South Vallejo, and it is expected that very soon it will be made a port of entry. Our visit to Santa Clara introduced us to the San Jose Valley, the garden of California. It is a most charming region. The richness of the soil reminds us of the productive lands lying along the valley of the Connecticut River about Northampton and Hadlcy, Mass. San Jose is just fifty miles south of San Francisco, and is connected by railroad. Santa Clara is situated three miles south of San Jose. Our remarks upon '■ New Park Farm " will indicate the general character of the surrounding portions of the valwestern terminus there. ley. NEW PARK FARM. While at Santa Clara we were the guest of J. P. Pierce, Esq., proprietor of this beautiful estate. It contains ninety-five acres, and is divided off into vineyard, garden, orchard and tillage. Already twelve acres are carefully laid out with strawberries. Besides its vineyard proper, vines are trained tocoverarbors which, if running in a straight line, would extend nearly one mile. The orchards are arranged so that a succession of fruits follow each other in regular order, cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, apples. The whole farm is under a high state of cultivation and kept in the most perfect order. Five white laborers and about twenty Chinese are constantly employed. The system of irrigation is most complete and perfect. Miles of pipe extend underground to all parts of the garden requiring to be watered. These are so admirably arranged that by removing a plug each row of strawberries will be easily watered. Water is abundantly supplied from several artesian wells, which have never ns yet been exhausted. The garden and grounds are most beautifully laid out. Walks are bordered with pinks, geraniums, roses and many other species of flowers. At this season the roses are in perfection, exhibiting such wealth, — I It I KM), JINK. 1869. abundance, fragrance and beauty that one might almost gather a voriety sufficient to manufacture the celebrated perfume of a "thousand flowers." The beautiful residence of the proprietor is embowered in them, extending over door-ways, hanging in clusters from verandas, and fairly covering the sides of his dwelling. Not merely is this beautiful spot designed to gratify the eye, but its fruits are gathered for the San Francisco market. At the height of the strawberry season, beside supplying the family and guests, nearly a ion a day is conveyed to market. These arc gathered by the Chinese, whose nimble fingcrsand patient minds seem well designed for such garden employments. We arc sorry to record the fact that among a certain class of the population of California there is a strong prejudice against employing Chinese laborers. This prejudice exists among the Irish and those of Secession proclivities. So bitter is this prejudice that Klu-Klux clans threaten to revenge upon those employing Chinese or those teaching the Chinese. Already the Methodist Church of San jJose has been burnt by the enemies of the Chinese. A barn on New Park Farm has also been reduced to ashes. This occurred only a few days before our visit. Such wanton, wicked and unjustifiable conduct will not accomplish the design of those so base as to practice if. These Chinese laborers will not be driven from the San Jose Valley or the State. Additional numbers arrive by every vessel from China. New Park Farm may be regarded as superior to most farms in this region, because its proprietor is willing to expend thousands to gratify his fancy; but still there arc scattered through this valley hundreds of tarins, valued wells in the region vary from two to five hundred feet. The question arises, will not these wells ere long drain the fountain from whence they are supplied? Probably not, unless California should be visited by a succession of very dry seasons. In boring these wells, first there is a stratum of gravel, but below that a layer of clay, and then another layer of gravel. The water is found in the lower layer of gravel ; so reported our informant, who bad been engaged in sinking one or more of these .well*, We are not aware us similar wells have been successfully sunk iv any other region this side of the Rocky Mountains, except in this valley of San Jose. MAY HAY. This is a famous day among young and old in California. It is a day for celebrations and picnics. We left Santa Clara in the morning, and expected to hare spent the day at Redwood, but we fortunately fell in with a party inviting us to visit the picnic grounds at Belinount, where would gather four Subbath-schools belonging to four Congregational churches of San Francisco. At the appointed time arrived about 1,400 children, accompanied by their superintendents and teachers. They were soon dispensed over the grounds and through the groves. The region was alive with merry and happy children released from the confinement of schools and city life. It was pleasant to witness this great concourse, some engaged in one kind of sport and some in another. Among them we noticed those belonging to the orphan school, numbering nearly two hundred. They were dressed uniformly, and are well taken care of, so we were informed, but still our heart felt sad in view of so many growing up without knowing a futher's and a mother's kind, protecting nnd fostering care. On our return to the city the train of cars was very long, and drawn by two engines. There could not have been less than 2,000 persons upon the train, and so far as we have learned no accident occurred on that happy May Day.

These wells are worthy of more than a passing notice. Such is the geological formation of this region, that in many parts of the valley (though not all) artesian wells have been found to send forth an inexhaustible supply ol pure water. One of the deepest of these wells is upon the New Park Farm. This well is 700 feet deep, and in 24 hours will send forth water sufficient to fill a reservoir holding 250,000 gallons.

It is of great SERMON. importance to put faith in its proper place; The following practical sermon, preached it is indispensable to have the judgment, the by the Rev. Frank Thompson, (lately in- understanding clear upon this subject, for I stalled l'astor of the Foreign Church at know of no subject on which the minds of are more frequently in error, perHilo,) is, by the desire of many, published in believers nnd harassed than on this. They plexed the Friend. We trust the attentive perusal art not saved by works, they say, but they of it will prove a word spoken in season to arc saved by faith. But when they find their faith weak, when they find doubts and the reader. arise in their minds, then theirhope darkness nnd saved faith through ; " For by grace tire ye I salvation is gone—they are all agitated.

Km. ii, lft " The Lord tells us in these, words, expressly lieve. 1 feel I have no faith." It is of the by the Apostle, bow we are saved, and how greatest importance, therefore, rightly to we art: not saved. We arc saved by grace understand this, " By grace are ye saved through faith ; and we are not saved by through faith." Faith no more saves you works. Grace is taken in various senses in than works, considered in itself. It is no the word of God sometimes in a very lim- more the act of your mind in believing, or it ited, and sometimes in an enlarged sense. is no more your strongest confidence that is It appears in this outage to be taken in its saves you, than it is your works. Faith is the channel which salvation given within through embracing sense, most comprehensive its meaning all that is implied in its applica- to you. Your salvation is Christ, —the glotion to the salvation of man in the Scriptures. rious gnice of God in giving Christ; Christ's Grace is sometimes put to signify the ever- righteousness, the gift of grace,—Christ's lasting love of God to his people ; as for in- blood, the gift of grace,—his finished salvastance, 2d Timothy 1:9: " Who hath saved tion, the gift of grace,—all is the gr«cc of us, and called us with an holy calling, not God, all the manifestations of the riches, according to our works, but according to his " the exceeding riches of his grace in his own purpose and grace which was given us kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." in Christ Jesus before the world began." Faith is merely the vessel, as it \tere, by Sometimes it signifies the effectual calling which this salvation is given to you. If man of the sinner, by the operation of the Spirit rejects it and casts it off, of course he must of God, quickening his soul, as we have it in perish ; if a man receives it and embraces it, the sth verse of this chapter: " Even when all the blessings of it are his ; but remember, we were tlead in sins, hath quickened us to- the blessings are all in Christ, and not in gether with Christ (by grace are ye saved.") your faith. Faith receives and embrace's the the blessing itself, beSometimes grace signifies abounding mercy, blessings, but isisnot Christ, cause salvation and not in faith. in 5:20,21: abounded, sin Rom. "Where as in grace did much more abound, that as sin It is the medicine that heals the body, and hath reigned unto death, even so might grace not the cup in which that medicine is conreign through righteousness unto eternal life, veyed. If a medicine is administered to you by Jesus Christ our Lord." Sometimes it is in a vessel of gold, silver, China, delf, or taken for the free and lull pardon of sin, as glass, yea, though the vessel be not only in Rom. 3:24: " Being justified lreely by fragile, but cracked, or partly broken.it mathis grace, through the redemption that is in ters not, it is the medicine, and not the cup, Christ Jesus." Sometimes it means the that conveys healing to your body. And it beinn- in a stnte of pardon and acceptance is the balm of Christ's blood, it is the salvawith°God, as in Rom. 5:2 : " By whom also tion of the Lord Jesus Christ, by which your we have access by taith into this grace soul is saved, though the faith may be very wherein we stand, and rejoice in the hope of weak by which you receive him. An illustration, perhaps, will convey more the glory of God." Sometimes it signifies the final salvation of the Lord's people, as in clearly to your minds that the important difIst Peter 1: l'-i " Be sober, and hope to the ference lies not between a weak and a strong end, for the grace that is to be brought unto faith, but between a true and a false one. It In the is the object of your faith that gives charyou at the salvation of Jesus Christ." text, I conceive it comprehends all these acter to it. We may suppose two shipthings, all the blessings of the grace which wrecked mariners swimming from the waves brings salvation to the sinner's soul. " By to a bank of sand, one very confident, the that other trembling with fear. They reach the grace arc ye saved through faith ; God," the of bank of sand, but it is a quicksand, and both it is gift yourselves not of from first to last—from beginning to end— are engulfed: All the spirit, the courage from the grace that called you to the grace and confidence of the one could not save that shall open the doors of eternal glory to him, because the ground on which he trod sank under his feet. The other perishes, your view. are ye saved not by his fears or apprehensions, but betruth, By grace Now the " he trod sank bethrough faith," is a very precious one to cause the ground on which with sinners. It is fear it is a So it is him and we neath too. yet God, of child every weakness their faith, distorted, much to not the or of very often strength truth which is the discomfort of many ol God's own people. that is, the truth of the object in which they the strength or confidence They seem to think that a maximum of faith believe. It is not believes, or the weakness is essential to salvation, that is to say, their with which one faith is of no consequence unless they pos- with which another believes, but it is this God's sess a certain degree ot it. That this is not that the thing which we believe is the teaching of God's word. 1 think will eternal truth. So if two men believe a lie souls—one going on with readily appear. I invite your attention, as the hope of their confidence, and the other therefore, briefly to the consideration of faith the utmost possible — : : ■ ; — 45 trembling a nil fearing—they shall froth perish in the lie they have believed ; " for they have not fled for refuge to lay hold on ihe hope set before them " in the gospel, but they have fled to a refuge of lies. It is sometimes said it matters not what a man lielieves, providing he is candid and honest in his belief But does it not? A hungry man may believe a stone to be a loaf of bread, will it however satisfy his hunger? Will it matter anything whether the merchant takes with him to market current mnticy with which to purchase goods? Can he by any amount of believing convert pewter or brass into gold? Yes tlearly beloved, we will be held accountable by God for our beliefs. So if a man rests his eternal salvation on a false object, he must of necessity perish, and no amount of believing will save him. Man prefers to rely on his own ingenuity rather than on the wisdom of Godj he prefers his own system to that which God lias provided ; he will tax his own brain for something to satisfy; he will depend on his own good behavior rather than on the grace and mercy of God for the salvation of his soul. Man's religion keeps God at a distance, God'i brings him nigh. Homage to God, but not communion with him, is the object of the former ; nearness of fellowship antl companionship, coupled with lowliest reverence, is the aim of the latter. Man says, "God is my enemy, and must hi; appeased; or, he is at the best a doubtful friend, and must be kept at n distance; he is incomprehensible and unapproachable, and therefore enn have no common sympathies with me. I will lay my gift upon his altar, and retire out of his presence." God says, Man is my creature, and though he is a "sinner, dreading, but not loving me, I will not leave him to his misery; I will come nigh ; I will speak with him in love ; I will win back his confidence, and teach him to love me ; I will make him feel that I am not his enemy, but his friend ; I will show him that in my favor is life, and that companionship with me is the joy and health of his being." Man's religion begins by enjoining worship—God's by preparing the worshiper. And here the difference is as wide as it is striking. The main idea that man has in connection with worship is, that it is the means of securing acceptance and effecting reconciliation with God. And it matters not whether you believe in these human systems with confidence or whether you believe in them, with trembling doubt and apprehension, they shall perish in their iniquity who rest upon such refuges of lies, for there is no offering in them, nor in anything in earth or heaven for the sinner to save hia soul but the blood of our crucified Redeemer. It is the nature that is corrupt. It is the perverted heart, will nnd affections, which produce perverted actions; the activities themselves arc neither good nor bad, in themselves considered. They have no moral character, only as it is given by the motive, intention, or purpose. And the fountain cannot be purified by throwing saltinto the stream ; neither can the heart of roan be renewed by mere discipline or education. To suppose this is to mistake the true character of man, and his relation to God and eternity. No, my hearers, " by grace are ye saved," and faith is merely the instrumental means. Faith is essential as the medium through which. �46 sirt-.-ims ol healing must flow into the soul. Aa the atmosphere iibovc nnd around us is the medium through which the genial rays of the sun reach our earth, and causes it to blossom and bud, bringing forlli seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so also is our faith the channel of blessing to our souls. Let me aguin illustrate true faith. Two shipwrecked mariners are buffeting their way from a wreck to a rock. One is confident and joyous—the other trembling and fearing, lest the waves should overwhelm him nnd sweep him ngain into the bosom of the deep; but the rock is inaccessible to the waves, nnd both are equally secure. Why ? It is not the courugo or confidence of the one thut saves him, but because he is on the rock. All the doubts .-tint fears of the other cannot ovcrwhelrii hint. Why? Because notwitlitauding all his doubtl and fears, he is on I rock too. So when sinners hnve indeed '• lied for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set lieforu them," when they have indeed fled to Jesus—the Kock, the Fortress of their salvation, whether they believe with joyous, lightsome heart, with full assurance of faith, or whether they arc, us many are, doubting, trembling, fearing in the weakness and unbelief of their own hearts, still they arc both equullv secure, for both are resting on the " Rock of Ac«'s." Jesus is the hope, Jesus is the Rock, Jesus is the salvation of them both. Let DM not be misunderstood. Faith is ns essential to your salvation as the blood of Christ, but on very different grounds and tor a very different purpose. In respect to our ultimate salvation it matters not whether we live in the possession of a strong, confident, joyous faith or not. If our faith is a true taith, that is, having Christ ns our personal friend and Redeemer for its object, 'hen our sulvatiou is secure. But it does make a great difference in our efficiency as laborers in the Lord's vineyard, and in our enjoyment and religious experience, whether we live in possession of a joyous, confident faith or not. Our loyalty to Christ requires that we should so live ; nnr privilege as children of God requires it; ourefliciency in his service requires it. He who so lives, and n stands upon the rock, has nothing to fear, .and he has both hands to extend to his per- • ishing fellow-men. Then too, it honors Christ so to live, while he of the trembling faith is always in doubt and fear, and has to cling, as it were, with one hand to the rock, and therefore has but one to extend to .lying mortals—a one-handed Christian, but, gets ■■afc, being on the rock. Whercforcjthc babe in Christ is as safe as the father in Christ. The weakest believer is as safe as the strongest, because it is not their faith, but Christ, :hat saves them. It is not by faith you are saved through grace, but "by grace arc ye saved through taith." Grace is that which gives salvation, and therefore, that he might " be strong in the Lord, and in the power of might," Paul exhorts Timothy to bo rorig in (he grace that is in Christ Jesus." Tim. 2:1. This may not seem very itnlant to some of you, but if you are dis- « I It 111 ,\ I). IH L JINK. INfi n Christ Jesus his Lord. How hard it is when persons have taken up a false system, and have not been rightly instructed in God's truth, in drive these vain fancies out of their minds! How often have the siivanls of God iircn seen doubting and trembling, and writing bitter things against themselves, even on the bed of death, liei-ause instead of looking to Jesus us their till, ihey were looking into themselves for confidence, and expecting comfort and courage from the strength of their faith, instead of from ('hrist, the strength of their salvation. You who Hre strong in the faith of Christ Jesus—you who are resting with joyous confidence tin your Lord, In ware we are in an enemy's land, ami always in danger. " Let him that thinketh lie stnndeth, take heed lest be fall." We are often solicited by the adversary, when faith is sirong, to look away from Christ lo ourselves, to transfer our confidence from Jesus to our faith, Beware let! the confidence of faith should be degenerated into confidence in faith. The Apostle says, " When I am weak, then nin I strong.n Strong faith is often S very hard trietl laith. Recollect strong faith ought lo be victorious faith, "This is the victory that overconteth the world, even our faith." Those of you who are weak in the faith that is in Christ Jesus— trembling mid doubting.—if indeed yon arc looking unto him, take courage,—look out til your faith. It is not your faith, it is Jesus that saves you. It is not the strength of your own confidence, it is the strength of him in whom you confide. Think of this ; lift up your hearts. Remember that Jesus is the same to the Weakest as to the strongest., The rock is the same to the man thai trembles on it, as to the man who stands with the stoutest heart upon it. Jesus is the same to both. () weak believers ! lift up your hands that hang down ; you may be " walking in darkness, and have no light; " but he that does SO, " let him trust in the Lord, and stay himself upon his God, iv darkness as well as in light,— in doubts ns well as in confidence, in difficulty as well as in the easy course of prosperity." Therefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the feeble knees. Let the weak take courage, let the strong "watch and pray." Remember the character of your shepherd; remember what is said, "He gathcreth the lambs in his arms, and Carrieth them in his bosom, and gently lendeth those that are with young." The strong walk firmly and boldly on ; he gathcreth the weak ones in his arms, he gently Icadeth those thnt art; weary nnd heavy laden with burdens of anxious doubts a nil fears. You then that are weak and weary, heavy laden, burdened with a sense of your sins, oh look out of yourselves to Jems, cast your burden on Christ. He is able to sustain it—he is mighty to bear it. Remember, are the everlasting nrms." The " underneath bearer of your burden is omnipotent. What weight of sin or sorrow is too great for Christ to carry ? And what burden ought to be too heavy for us to cast upon him ' We cannot bear if, but Christ can. - ; — — ! tressed and agitated with doubts and fears, as certainly some—perhaps many of you Rev.DaCSmon,.occupied who believe the gospel are—you will see the pulpit of Rev.

Mnrrh 28.- -A delightful Sabbath morning. There are no people living in the immediate vicinity of Rev. S. Kauwtalohava house. After prayers and breakfast, we prepared to go over to the next valley, HalcaheRtiu, say I \ to 9 miles, to church. The clnirih lure is a very nent one, the most sr> nf any on the islands. It is In.ill with board:., thatched with cocoa leaf, having a door of stones, upon which i* spread a covering made of split bamboo', which gives it a neat appearance. The bouse is well adapted lor the purpose for which it is used. In the morning I preached ; Rev. J. W. Kaiwi followed with my sermon in Marauesan ; after which Kauwealoha made some remarks, antl the meeting was closed. Tim Sabbath-school ilicn began ; verses from different parts ol the Scripture were recited by all. There were about 48 pcismis present at the morning service. Altera sliurl recess,the people tame together again to observe the Lord's Supper. Twenty communicants were present Iron) live ur six different nations. The Lord was with us; it was good to lie there. The pastor of the church presided, and was aided by Kaiwi. Alter the communion 1 made some remarks, exhorting tliem to brotherly love, to give of their substance for the. spread ol the gospel, and to have their children educated fur the Lord. The meeting beinrr dismissed, with Kaiwi I returned on loot lo Hakanahi. My first Sabbath spent with the eharehesof Nuubiva was ■ day to be long remembered. HANAMANC, ISI.AMI Of MIVAOA. April. I.—This Sabbath morning we left the vessel for Hnnamanii. The people were at meeting when we landed. We made our way to the house of worship, and soon were surrounded by it goodly number of the natives. After saluting Honiae and Daniek, wo went into the meeting-house, where we had Mime conversation with them. We learned that Elisabeth, the wife of Danicla, died on the 7th of November, IS6S. in the full esaon.net of hope. The Sabbath service had been kepi up durum the year, and there were two place* nf worship in the valley, in Which Karoo!) are taught—on. I. Hnniae, nnd the other by Daniels.

Our "table" we take with us in our travels, nnd hove had laid upon it several fine specimens of books published in California. One of these is a volume of Sermons recently issued by Roman & Co., from the pen of the Key. Charles Wadsworth, D. D., Minister of Calvary Church, Son Francisco. The volume contains twenty sermons, and if they arc a fair sample of the style of sermonizing by the Pastor of Calvary Church, then most surely his people are highly favored. There is simplicity of plan, beauty of style, luckiness of arrangement, aptness of illustration, and force of expression, which render them models of n certain style of pulpit oratory. We liave read several of these sermons, viz., those entitled '• The Child's Teacher," "God's Thoughts," " Young Man's Mission," "The Mother's Sorrow," and we shall not fail to read every sermon contained in the volume, for more profitable and entertaining rending is seldom to be found. These sermons evince a finish, culture, earnestness and wealth of thought which arc seldom to be met with in this age of preachers who labor for popular effect. The minister of the Gospel who comes before his congregation with such well-digested and carefully prepared sermons, will not fail to gather around him a class of thoughtful, serious-minded and devout hearers and thinkers. Having read these sermons, we felt a strong desire to hear Dr. Wadsworth preach. This privilege we enjoyed on the first Sabbath in May. His sermon was on the text, John 11:15—"And lam glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe." The style of this discourse strikingly resembled that of his printed sermons. This was delivered in the vestry of the new Calvary Church. In two or three weeks, the congregation is expecting to worship in the new church. It is internally one of the finest audience-rooms, designed for a church, which we have seen in San Francisco. It will comfortably seat a thousand and more. The style of finish may be inferred from the cost of the edifice, which will be nearly SIOO.OOO, aside from the ground, which cost $40,000. The location is in the most central part of the city. The external architecture of the edifice is very peculiar. It is surely not Gothic, or Doric, or nny other style of church building we have ever seen. Ten turrets rise from the square top. It has no tower, but seems designed to be built of solid masonry, well designed to withstand earthquakes. Perhaps this idea was running in the architect's mind. It is a good, solid edifice—long may it stand, and in it may its eloquent and thoughtful pastor long stand to preach "Christ and Him crucified" to the crowds of eager and listening; hearers, as they may gather on the Sahbatb and other occasions.

The tall forest trees and dense underground were falling before the axe. Vessels were moored to the trees, and all was hurry and confusion. About the spot where the new capitol now stands, with its spacious wings and lofty dome, a crowd of Americans just arrived from their long voyage around Cape Horn or across the Isthmus, assembled to celebrate the 4th, and Dr. Gwin, subsequently a Senator, was the orator of the day. There being no other clergymen present upon the occasion, it fell to our lot to invoke the divine blessing. There was no public dinner, for Sacramento had no hotel accommodation ! The novelty of the occasion, the wildness of the scene, the noble appearance of the tall forest trees, and enthusiasm of those mingling together on these remote shores, so far from the older States of the Union, all combined to render the occasion one of the most memorablo "Fourths" that we have ever wknessed at home or in foreign lands. Nearly twenty years have* since passed away, and most of that time has been spent in a foreign land, and now, on the Bth of May, we again find ourselves a visitor at Sacramento. But how changed the prospect from the window ofthe Capitol Hotel!

Mr. E. 15. Crocker, one of the Directors ol the Central Pacific Railroad, spoke as follows "Fellow Citizens: It is so long since I have been in the habit of public speaking that I am quite out of practice, I do not intend to mala any speech, but will ask your indulgence while I make one or two liriol remarks. Fellow citizens, we have met to celebrate the completion of one ol the greatest works of the age [cheers], and in the miilsl of our rejoicing at this event I wish to call to mind that the early completion of this milroad we have built has been in n great measure due to that poor, destitute class of laborers called the Chinese—to the fidelity and industry they have .shown—and the great amount of laborers of this land that have been employed upon the work. "Fellow citizens, this Pacific Kailroad is one of the greatest works the world has ever seen—one of the grandest results of human labor. [Loud cheers.| And that lalier directed to a useful ami beneficial purpose. [Cheers.] When we look back at the great works of antiquity, the walls of Babylon, the pyramids of Egypt, the great wall of China, andother great works of the ages that are post, we find what can lie accomplished by human labor, when directed by pride nnd ambition, but find little of it that has been of any benefit to mankind. Many have lieen totally destroyed, and the latest work of antiquity that has been preserved—the great pyramids ol Egypt —answers no useful purpose ; but tho great work we have just completed is a benefit—not morcly for to-day, hut will bo so for all time—not merely for ourselves, but for our children and our children's children." [Loud cheers.) This passing tribute to the toiling and patient Chinaman is justly due, and to have had no allusion or reference to what he \\nr : �II! X FKIKNI), JIL V, 1869. done would have been a most llagrant injustice. We hold to honoring those to whom honor is due, and we feel ashamed of those calling themselves Americans who are not willing to concede to the Chinese those equal rights which they yield to other foreigners coming to America. Abetter day, we hope, is dawning upon our world, anil the construction oflong lines of railroads we think eminently calculated to introduce that better era. The memorable scenes of the Bth of .May, as witnessed in Sacramento, we shall long remember, especially as we came to the coast for the very purpose of taking a trip across the continent upon the railroad, the completion of which bus made so deep an impression upon the public mind. Hoping in a day or tart) lo pass over this long line of railroad, we shall endeavor at MM lut'ire linn- to pen our "notes and reflections while passing along" for the perusal of the readers of the Friend. A sAIMATII AT SACIIAMK.NTO. Alter attending the grand railroad celebration it was our privilege to spend u quiet and pleasant Sabbath at Sacramento. In the morning we attended the First CongrogntinnaLChiirch where the Key. I. E. Dwinell, D. D., officiate! as minister. His discourse this morning was based upon that remarkable passage, Prepare ye the way of the Lord ; make straight in the desert ;i highEvery valley shall be way for our («od. exalted, and every mountain and hill shall In' made low, and the crooked shall be made straight and lha rOUgh places plain." Unless our memory is at fault, be also read another passage as a part of bis text from the prophet Nahum: "The chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. The chariots shall rage in the streets ; they shall jostle one against another in the broad way ; they shall seem like torches, they shall run like lightning." It required no very wayward flight of the bearer's imagination to convert the prophet N,.hum's chariots into Steam engines "with llaming torches," raging through the streets, and hurrying like lightning along the Central Pacific Kailroad and over the dizzy era's, anil fearful chasms of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The pastor improved the occasion for directing the attention of his hearers to some nl the higher aspects of the results which would flow from the construction of rail mads, and especially of the gnat Pacific Kailroad. He rapidly sketched the history of this groat undertaking, which had been now so successfully carried forward to completion. When this was done, he most easily and happily carried the mind of the " hearer forward to n more elevated plune of thought, and led him to contemplate God's providential plans in thereby elevating the social and moral condition of the human race. Most beautifully the preacher described the happy results which might be expected to flow from encircling the globe with a line of railroads and steamboat lines of communication. No longer could the inhabitants of the globe be kept apart and estranged from each other. These vast enterprises were unquestionably designed " to prepare the way for the Lord." His closing appeal on behalf of the Sabbath, and the principles of sobriety and temperance, was thrillingly interesting and impressive. Most sincerely we hope this most admirable discourse will lie published and extensively circulated. The sentiments which it contained are well calculated to do a vast amount of good when disseminated among the people. As a finished literary elfort this sermon possessed points of real excellence. There was a rhythmical and graceful flow of language which fell upon the ear in pleasing cadence and rounded periods. It was never our privilege previously to listen to a discourse of the Congregational pastor of Sacramento, but if his other discourses are in this style of composition, thought and delivery, we are not surprised that his services should have been sought, for the professorship of the Pacific Theological Seminary, or that his people cried, "No," when they supposed he might leave his pastorate lor another field of labor. While Sacramento has always experienced many ol the depressing moral influences arising from its position as a mining center of operations and travel, yet we were glad to find that there were many earnest laborers who were striving to do good among the people, both resident and transient. There exists in Sacramento a Young Men's Christian Association which keeps open a free reading room and library, liesides furnishing a room for weekly and monthly meetings for prayer and religious conference. The cause of temperance has many earnest advocates among the Sacramentans. On Sabbath afternoon, we attended a meeting of the Band of Hope. This is an organization among the children who have associated and banded themselves together, solemnly pledging each other that they will abstain from t/te use of intoxicating liquors, the use of tobacco and profanity. The meeting at which we were present was numerously attended by both children and adults. Dr. Haswell is President of the association, and appears to ho very enthusiastic in the good cause. The Band of Hope is organized under the direction of the order of Good Templars, about whom we have already written. 51 The young people, members of the Band of Hope, honored the editor of the Frit?ul, by electing him an honorary member. He was not disposed to decline the honor inasmuch as the rules did not require any great amount of self-denial on his part. We hope there is and tho use " a great gulf" fixed between us of intoxicating liquors, tobacco and profanity. In the evening we were present at the Monthly Sabbath School Concert, of the Key. Dr. Dwinell's Church. It was numerof the speakers was ously attended. One of the American SunMr. I'eters, an agent visit to Union, School who is employed day destitute regions anil districts of California, for the purpose of establishing Sabbath schools. No more worthy, useful and noble object. Great good in this way has already been accomplished. Thus ended a most agreeable Sabbath spent in a city at present occupying a most advantageous position for exerting a moral and political influence upon this great nnd growing State of California. VISIT TO THK MINT OK SAN FKANCISCO. Just before leaving San Francisco wo visited the Mint. It is situated in the most busy part of the city, and the accommodations arc narrow and contracted. It was interesting to examine the various processes which the gold undergoes from the time it enters in the forms it presents when dug from the earth until it comes forth in bright gold pieces. At the time of our visit there was some stir among those connected with the establishment in consequence of the removal of the late superintendent. We find the subject thus discussed in a late number of the JV. Y. Times. We republish it because these paragraphs contain some interesting statistics respecting the Mint of San Francisco. " The facts are these : Three thousand miles from Washington, almost in another country, a United States Mint has been for some fifteen years coining the bullion intrusted to it by private citizens, under the superintendence of an official—B. Swain. Ks,|.—known and esteemed by all parties for his integrity and ability. His Subordinates and employees have been equally valued and trusted by the whole community of California for their honesty and fidelity. No Kepublican or Democrat has ever breathed a word of reproach ngainst the thorough integrity ami faithfulness of all these Mint officials. Mr. Swain himself is a man of fortune and high position outside of his official place. It will interest our readers to know something t>( the honest work done by these California office-holders. In the course of each year some 830,00(1,000 worth ol bullion are put into the hands of these men for coining, being deposited by some twelve thousand different persons, and requiring sixty l/uiiisand separate assays. So necessary is loss and wastage, that the Covernmerit allows one-fifth of one per cent, on the amount of bullion handled. Thif �52 TII X HIILMI, JII LV legal wastage in gold would bo in one year 19,810. That is the loss allowed to the Superintendent. We need not say that, under ft political Superintendent, appointed suddenly by n successful party, this has boon usually tho loss, whether through incomnotcneyordishonosty. Under the changes threatened, this amount will certainly go ' up the chimneys,' as the saying is in Snn Francisco. Under Mr. Swain's management this legal loss wns reduced in one year (I8(i<>) to • fcL'.P-'li; and in silver, owing to the silver contained in gold, there was no loss, but a gain of B.), 141, though the legal loss wus »:i,290. In the coiner's department the results are equally remarkable. During the year IKOO the legal loss allowed him was 844JM3j the real loss was only $1,0(5:1. Taking gold and silver together in that year, 830,000.000 ofbullion were manipulated in the San Francisco Mint, and the legnl wastage was 8100,0:17, which of course could have gone into the pockets of the Superintendent and his subordinates, nnd which '"ill undoubtedly do so with their political successors. The real loss to the Governmentwas only five hundred and sixty-three dollars! Wo hear much of California ' sharpers ' and rogues (and undoubtedly our California fellow-citizens are tolerably wide awake), but wo should like to know of any important •fie* managed with half such integrity and business efficiency as this. General (Irani is said to have a leaning toward honest men who do pablic work its il it were their own. We commend to him these simple facts in San Francisco. This Mint, as is well known, is an important national institution. It was established in \SM, and has coined since then over 1940,000,000, or half the amount coined by the Philadelphia Mint since 1T93. Il had accommodations for coining $.',,000,0(10 |mt annum, hut so efficient has be*>n its manageuii ul that its work is from four to live tiim\s that amount. This well conducted business establishment, mnnngod by a Republican and an appoint** of Mr. Lincoln's, saving to the country nearly one hundred thousand dollars a year, and, above all, showing the nation that public business was capable of lieing conducted as honestly nnd thoroughly ns any private business, one might have supposed wns safe from being the prize of successful partisans in an election campaign." A BANKKR's COUNTIIY KKMHKNT. While at Belmount, attending the Sabbath School Picnic, we improved the opportunity of visiting the new edifice built by W. U. Knlston, Esq., tho Hanker nnd President ofthe California Bank. It is situated slxtut a half mile from ihe depot, entirely obscured from the view ol nil pulilic travel. A road leading thither has been constructed at great expense by the proprietor of tho rising palatial residence. The building is difficult to describe.

Tht; whole history of tho event, so far ns he mid his cninpnuinn, the Key. Hubert J. Parvin, the Secretary of the Kvnngolicnl EdUCatiOfl Society, are concerned, is still on entire mystery, of which this Committee can give no account. Mr. Kising was alaiut thirty-live years of age. He wns a native ol the city of New York, educated in the public schools of this city, nnd in the College of the city of New York,connected with them—in which he was employed as a tutor, after his graduation, with a high literary nnd moral character. He was a member of the Sunday-school of St. George's Church in this city. In that church he was confirmed in the spring of lH )iJ. He was ordained a Deacon in 1880,and first employed in the ministry as mi assistant to the Hector of St. George's Church. Hi! was subsequently minister of tho church ut Bergen Point, New Jersey, where he was ordained a Presbyter. His mind was much directed afterward to the peraonal deminds of Foreign Missions, ami held much eorrespo,nleiice in reference In an engagement in (hat important ministry. The way not being tHaned for his entrance upon any desired branch of this work, he directed his attention to the territory ol Nevada, and went thither as the first minister ol the Episcopal Church there. He organized ami established a flourishing church in Virginia City, and others in other towns and settlements of that territory.

It wus the lirst lime. Often befora had hi taken his "bitters" when hurrying down bis lunch at the eating house near the store ; but this wns the lirst time he had been sensibly overcome by any strong drink. HU I'nthcr had brandy nnd wine in the rlnu't, never on the table, always under lock nnd key —never supposing that thi! boy had a key, too, to the snine closet. Hoys are pretty sharp—sharper thnn The faMo some excellent fathers suppose. of the old crnb who told the young cnih that he ought to go stmight instead of sidcwise, mitl whet the response from crnb junior, "Why do you go sidcwise yourself?" busa its echo ill the household life of many father and son to-dny. It was the cast! in this instance. Thu good old man wanted the boy to tlo well. llu did bis best to conceal from him and the rest of the family his own appetite for strong drink. Ho would not willingly have set him it bud example ; but when the paternal uycs blink and grow bloodshot, mid the paternal nose becomes rubicund, there is no lock so strong, no key so complicated as to shut tho secret from the family and the world. Tom not only knew that his lather dnuik, hut he tlmnk from his father's bottle*. It wns a hrigltt September afternoon, Tom had bean playing bmball with some of his friends; or rather, he hud been trying to play lor there was an unsteadiness about his gait, Slid a wlhlW in his eye, which made it as probable that hi! would hit somebody in the bend with the ball ns that he would semi it as halls ought lo be Mat He was excused, and his place filled by somebody else.

Hut the stupefied brain refused to telegram the Word dntvll lo the unwilling feet which way to go, or what to do, and Tom didn't move slong in good style.

V, lh«l 54 unconsciously resigned himself into their hands, that they might do whutever they pleased with him. A grocer's large wheelbarrow was brought into requisition, and, with his head drooping to one side, and his legs dangling over tho-end of the uncomfortable vehicle, poor Tom rode to the door of his father's house. Fnthcr was out, and the friends lifted the poor lad up-stairs and laid him out on a sofa, where he slept and snored as only those who are Under the influence of strong drink do sleep and snore. The sleeping and the snoring go on for a while, and pa comes bqjne. The room where the favorite closet is, is the same to which Tom has been carried, and is the first room in the house which the old gentleman visits. As he goes to unlock the closet, he sees and hears ihe slumbering and snoring Tom. Shall he be angry, or shall he pity him? He hardly knows which. Never wns so embarrassed in his life. His own son— evidently drunk. Drunk by his father's example. No! stop a moment. " Was I ever drunk? Did he ever sou me in this condition? No, he didn't; (he young rascal ! lie ought to be thrashed. Needs a lesson now at the beginning, and perhaps he will never do it again. 1 will thrash him, big as he is. Here, Tom ! Wake up there, sir! What's the meaning of this ? Give an account of yourself, sir !" Hut it is hard work to wake the poor boy out of his drunken sleep. Let him sleep on, old gentleman, and ho will give! you an account of himself when he wakes up. You will take your little nip meantime, will you ? And do you notice any diminution in the amount of brandy in that bottle as you take it out of the closet ? Not particularly. You do not scrutinize very closely as you quietly withdraw it from the closet and as quietly put it back again. Well, after a while the alcohol goes out of the poor boy's hrain, and he begins to be himself again. But it is slow and stupid work. Poor fellow? It would be ridiculous, were it not so sad. Where am I, and what's the matter." Matter enough," responds the old man, " in no very mild tones. " You ure drunk, sir? Thats what's the matter!" " " " "D-d-d-runk? d-d-d-runk? d-d-did you— hie—say, d-d-dnd ?" " Yes, sir; you've been lying here, in my house, dead drunk! drunk as a fool! Now, what have you to say for yourself!" "Sa-a-a-ay?

And is my son drunk, for the first time, out of his own father's bottle? 0 God! forgive him and forgive me !" And the old man rushed to the closet, took his brandy-bottle and his gin-bottle, and his wine-bottle, and dashed them down on the slone floor of the fire-place, and said, "God help me never to touch liquor again! —and God help poor Tom !" And then he put his arms around poor Tom's neck and cried like a baby. Poor old man I Tho fetters were upon him, and tho shaking them ofT was not the Work of a moment, nor was it the easy work that tho dashing down of a few bottles, in a moment of terrible remorse indicated. The habit was one of too long standing to be rid of so speedily. And after a few days the craving for stimulus carried its poor siave to the " Importer of Genuine Liquors," and the key of the closet was again turned on a few bottles of " genuine " poison for " private consumption. And poor Tom '.' His first drank was not his last. A few tears of contrition ; a few resolutions made in his own strength— hroken in his own weakness; a few strivings to do better, chilled by the reflection, "Father does it —why shouldn't 1?" and poor Tom's regular habit was to get drunk. Poor boy ! Ho went into the army. Forced marches and exposure in all sorts of weather were too much for a constitution Undermined by habitual intoxication, and kept np by the abominable liquid lire supplied hy the sutlers. Tom is go:ie. Tom's father survived him. Too late to save Tom, he saw the error of his own ways. Hod heard his earnest cry for deliverance Irom the destroyer, and the temperance sermon preached hy poor Tom's life and death look such n hold on the old man's saddened heart, that for three years before his death not one drop of strong drink went down his throat. My boy, beware of your lirst drunk. Don't touch a drop of the poison, no matter who sets you the example. Good father, smash your bottle, [dense, if Don't wait till you have it in the closet. the power of your example has taken such fast hold of your boy that he is a drunkard. Temperance Advocate. " — Have I no Father ! " I was once in an awful storm at sea ; we were for many hours tossed about in sight of dangerous rocks ; the steam engines would work no longer; the wind raged violently, and around were heard the terrific, roar of the breakers, and the dash of the waves, as they broke over the deck. At this dreary and trying- time, while we lay, as might be said, at the mercy of the waves, I found great comfort and support from an apparently trilling circumstance, it was, that the captain's child, a little girl of about twelve years old, was in the cabin with us. He had come two or three times, in the midst of his cares aud toils, to sec how his child went on, and it is well known how cheering is the sight of a captain in such a time of danger. As our situation grew worse., I saw the little girl rising on her elbow and bending her eyes anxiously to the door as if anxious for her father's reappearence. He came at last. He was a large, bluff*, sailor-like man ; an immense coat, an oil skin cap with flaps great sea on his neck were streaming down hanging with water. He fell on his knees on the floor beside the low berth of his child, and stretched his arms over her, but did not ' No, father, I will not bo afraid if you take me with yen. O! father let me he with yon !' and she threw her rums around his neck, and clung fast to him. The strong man was overcome; he lifted bis child in his arms, mid carried her away with him. How much I felt her departure ! As long as the captain's child was near, I fell her to be sort of pledge for the return and cure of the captain. I knew that in the moment of greatest danger the father would run to his child; 1 wns certain that were the vessel about to be abandoned in the midst of the wild waves, I should know every movement, for the captain would not desert his child. Thus in the presence ofthat child I had comforted myself, and when she went, I felt abandoned, and for the first time fearful 1 rose, and managed to get on deck. The sea mid sky seemed one. It was a dreadful ! and shuddering, 1 shrunk back and threw my **lf again on my couch. Then the thought ; the child is content, sinis with her lather; 'and have I no father V O God, I thank thee! in that moment 1 could answer, ' Yes.' An unseen father, it is true ; and faith is not as sight, mid nature is not as grace ; but still 1 knew I hud a Father; a Father whose love surpnsseth knowledge. The thought calmed my mind. Reader, does it calm yours ? Oh ! cries the trembling soul, the storm is fearful; the sky is hid; we walk in darkness and have no light. He still and know thai I am Clod,' saith the Lord ; be happy, and know that God is thy Father. ' Fear not, fori am with thee ; he not dismayed, for lam thy God.' All things are, under the dominion of Christ, and all things, yea, even terrible things shall work together for good to them that love God. Tempest tossed soul ; as the child clung to her father's bosom, so cling thou to thy God; in the moment of thine extremity he will appear to he with thee, or take thee to be with him.' came ' The London Missionary Society is building a new ship in the place of the John Williams, wnich wns wrecked last year She among the islands of the Pacific, is named the Samoa, from the Society's principal mission in Polynesia which was founded hy the Key.

Examining Committee. Oahu ColeJgau98,ntedh1869. 1,0th. The Committee have attended each of the exercises of this Examination. We have been much pleased, and have observed marked progress and improvement. The most noticable advance is in the increase, so desirable, of the amount of Natural Science taught in the school. We were glad to note a greater clearness and promptness in the scholars' replies. In this there is still room for improvement. The olasses in Greek and Latin showed their usual thorough training by the accomplished President. A class in Natural Philosophy and one in Astronomy were deserving of especial notice fur the fulness and accuracy of the knowledge shown hy the pupils. In 'ieouietry and Surveying there WSJ good proficiency. We would remark the peculiar neatness of the diagrams. The examination as a whole gave clear evidence of patient and skillful labor on the part of the teachers, and creditable exertions on the part of the scholars. Both have acquitted themselves well. The Declamations and Orations on Thm-sday evening were, as a whole, of an unusually high order. The music was artistic, and the singingshowed skillful training. It appears to the committer however, that the songs selected should have embraced some elevated or stirring sentiments, exhibiting music not merely as a handmaid to the sense, but serving in the higher ministrations of the spirit.

Our expenditures for various objects have been this year greatly enlarged, so that notwithstanding the receipts of the last few weeks, which have been poured in upon us so largely, we close our year with a much smaller sum than we reported last June, it is very necessary that we have a considerable sum in our Treasury at the closeof the missionary year, as our receipts during the few months following are usually, at that season, very small, and our expenses necessarily very large, as it is then we dispatch the Morning Star on her yearly voyage to Micro- nesia. In accordance with the suggestion of the General Association made last year, the following table presents the contributions of each church to our Treasury during the past year. From this it appears that the average contribution to our Board this year of each church member, is not far from half a dollar. And it should be remembered that this is less than one third of the total contributions of our churches to religious objects, as reported last year. It will be noticed thatthere are a few churches among us, that have not contributed any thing during the year to the general work of the church. There are doubtless local reasons for this, but it is a matter of regret that any excuse should be considered-valid for such n neglect. And it is remarkable that some of the churches, in apparently most untoward circumstances, should have done so nobly for the cause of missions. The Lord will bless those who thus remember him and his work. Those churches which have a star attached to them, have sent in their contributions since the close ot the Treasurer's books on the 15th of May, nnd previous to May 29th, too late .... .... 57 {mitsmti,M.2t. Tlifolneiriil Sfhvol. The Theological School at Wailuku, has been in progress now sixyears. There have been four classes,as follows: In 1863, 13 pupils; 1865, 11 pupils; 1867, 19 new pupils j and in 1868, 12 more. Four of these have died, 13 have been ordained, and 12 have been licensed to preach. One of those ordained, and one ofthe licensed, have fallen. One licensed minister has gone to Micronesia, and three others are accepted by us as candidates for the foreign work.

We have during the year received from tho American Bible Society a part of the new and beautiful edition of the Hawaiian Bible and Testament. The cost of the new Bibles and Testaments received was $2,400 50 in American currency. The American Bible Society very kindly allow our accounts to stand open, we paying them the avails of the Bibles when sold. We regret that so large a portion of the first invoice were bound expensively. Had the cheapest binding been used, tho whole invoice would probably, before this, have been disposed of. The remainder of the edition is probably on its way from PI. V., in the cheaper binding ; also a small cheap new edition ofthe Testament and Psalms, most kindly prepared by the American Bible Society, under Key. E. W. Clark's supervision. On the arrival of these new books, we shall endeavor to give them a prompt and wide circulation, perhaps employing one or more colporteurs, as suggested by the General Association of last year. We have added two new question books for the use of Sabbath schools ; No. 3 having been translated by Rev. E. Bond, and No. 4by Key. W. P. Alexander. Another question book is in the course of preparation by Rev. O. H. Gulick. The circulation of the Alaula has been somewhat larger than during the year before, being about 2,800 copies; yet we could desire that its circulation were still further increased, as it might easily be. We take greet satisfaction in announcing that the commentary on Matthew by Rev. J. F. Pogue, has been revised and is now all but ready for the press ; and that the Bible Text Book, translatedand arranged by Messrs. B. W. Parker and L. Lyons, is also ready for publication. The Rev. E. W. Clark reports the Bible Dictonary as more than two thirds translated. We hope to be able to make arrangements with the Tract Societies of America, by which these invaluable works will ere long be in the hands of our pastors and students. We hnve this year printed at these Islands in six different languages 19 different publications—six in the Hawaiian langnage, two in that of the Marquesas Islands, four for the Gilbert islands, three for Marshall Islands, one for Kusaie, and two for Ponape, making a total of2,169,600 pages; besides which, we have received 1,058,715 pages from the presses of the American Bible Society. There have been put into circulation on these Islands 1,393, 397 pages of Hawaiian publications in book form during the year, besides what is equal to about 500,000 of Alaula, and besides about 179,660 pages of Chinese works.

The Morning Star * The Morning Star performed her second voyage to Micronesia in 1868, leaving Honolulu, June 26th, and returning December 16; and on the 4th of March, 1869, she started for the Marquesas Islands, returning again to Honolulu on the 30th of April. Attention should be drawn to the fact that we cannot maintain a vessel of this kind, without a large expenditure of money. We have received from the American Board since June last for the Morning Star $4,200. She has earned the sum of $1,000 06 during the year. The voyage to Micronesia, with repair, cost $5,972 14, and the voyage this spring to the Marquesas has cost $1,521 80, making a total of $7,493 94, of which $2,192 88 were from the contributions of our own churches. And it is to be expected that our expenditures for our vessel will increase rather than diminish as our missions grow. Micronesia. American Missionaries.— Gilbert Islands —Rev. H.

Tarawa and Apaiang were last summer in a very agitated state from a civil war. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham, and Mr. and Mrs. Mahoe, suffered much from the savages, and escaped narrowly with their lives during the ten weeks while the Morning Star was gone to the west. Yet there were 27 reported as having been admitted to the church during the year ending June, 1868. The receipts from the sale of books and monthly concert, though not large, are under the circumstances very gratifying, as will be seen by the appended table. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham have been diligently engaged during the last six months, in superintending the printing of severalworks in Honolulu. It is questionable whether their health will be sufficient to make it advisable, that they visit the Gilbert Islands again this year At Butaritari, the work has made very satisfactory progress. The young men are greatly interested in learning to read. Several are spoken of by the Hawaiian missionaries as hopefully pious; and though not a single person has been admitted to the church, the monthly concert contributions in oil amount to $41 75, and the avails of books to $63 12. And this from the island from which, three years ago, our missionaries fled in fear of their lives! The Marshall IslantN. It is a very encouraging feature of the work on Ebon, that a number of natives have been selected as teachers of the day schools. A part of the avails of their monthly concert, oil, will this year be devoted to thesupport of their own teachers, whom they propose to send out to other islands, it will be seen in the accompanying table, that the monthly collections and the avails for books both from Ebon and Nawuvrik are very large. They are bright examples to all our missions. Mr. Snow is invited to visit the United States of America, by the return of the Morning Star. Mr. H. Aea is much improved in health, and will return in the Morning Star to Ebon. The Caroline Miuid.-. The Christians of Kusaie welcomed Mr. Snow in October last. He found that 13 individuals had been set aside by the action of the native Christians themselves during the year. Ten of these were restored, while Mr. Snow was with them, on a public confession of sin, which melted many to tears, and even the King, who is not a church member, had to wipe his. eyes.

Kauwealoha has much reason to be encouraged by the success of his Girls' Boarding School, which numbers eight pupils. The Boys' Boarding School has met serious difficulties from the wild dissipations at Puamau, but further efforts will be made the coming year. The church at Hanamenu continues steadfast, though they have no missionary among them; and four have been admitted to membership in that valley during the year. It is very gratifying to be able to report $73 10, monthly concert contributions from the Marquesan Islands, by this return of the Morning Star, $44 26 of which were from Kauwealoha's church on Uapou. Mr. Pogue reports the system of day schools as not being very actively kept up, and that the pupils are still mainly women, with a few men and almost no children. Mr. Pogue remarks : " The great lack of these churches the past year, has been an outpouring of the Holy Spirit." A general meeting was held at Omoa, at which many important subjects were discussed. It was decided that Kaiwi should commence a select school at Omoa, for tho express purpose of fitting persons as teachers.

As your committee have listened to the station reports, they have been pained lo hear the repeated expression, " The Holy Spirit has not been with us the past year." This is a cause of grief. Our labors will all be in vain unless this Blessed Spirit aid in the work. The past year has lieen one of dearth. Not many from their wanderings have entered the fold of the Good Shepherd. In some respects, however, there has been progress. Many of the churches have contributed of their substance for the Kingdom of Christ. Meetings on the Sabbath have been well attended. Sabbath schools have been in a flourishing condition. The work has not retrograded. Progress has been made. The great thing which we desire, and without which our churches must die, we have not had—the outpouring of the Spirit. The cause of this destitution is in ourselves, not in God. Our hearts have not been prepared to be a dwelling place for this Holy Spirit. We would acknowledge with shame our shortcoming in this res|«sct. We have been engaged strongly in the work of the Lord, but we have not looked up to God and felt our dependence, as we should have done. We have rather trusted to our own wisdom and leaned upon our own strength ; hence we have not obtained the blessing. While with confusion of fear we thus acknowledge our shortcoming in the past, we would exhort all the members of the association, both clerical and lay, to cleanse themselves from all those things which hinder the Working of the Spirit among us. Let us eradicate from our hearts those things which grieve the Spirit. Then rencwedly lay ourselves at the feet of Jesus, trusting alone on him for success. Denying ourselves and taking up our cross, let us follow him. Then, if we ask, we will obtain that which wo so Much desire and need, the dwelling with us of the Spirit of God Brethren and fellow laborers, lei us humble ourselves before God ; bring all the tithes into the store-house, then will the Lord bless us, and we shall be blessed.

Since the latter part of May, Sabbath evening services have been regularly held in the Bethel, Mr. Aheong having htid on every occasion an attentive congregation, varying from about sixty to one hundred in number. On account of many of his hearers coming from various parts of China, he has always preached in two different dialects, so that all might comprehend. " The truth as it is in Jesus," has been plainly set before them. To accommodate all present, Mr. Aheong presents his text in three different languages—English, Hawaiian anil Chinese. In connection with the Sabbath service, a Tuesday evening prayer meeting has been held in the Bethel Vestry ; average attendance about eighteen. Several have taken part in speaking and praying, and it is encouraging to know that light seems dawning on several minds. One has declared his desire " to be one of God's people." At a late prayer meeting, one present arose and addressed his countrymen on the benefits they were receiving, and the need of giving something towards helping the Hawaiian Missionary Board. Accordingly, at the following Sabbath evening service many came forward voluntarily and cheerfully gave for the cause, $ 12 70 having been presented from willing hearts. Two evening free schools for Chinese arc in progress in Honolulu. Several of the scholars manifest an eager desire to learn to read the English language, and arc doing uncommonly well. A very intelligent young man entered one evening as a new scholar, wholly unacquainted with the alphabet, and in a little more than half nn hour he had learnt it completely. The efforts put forth (o instruct them are much appreciated by the scholars. One Saturday evening a few weeks ago, two of the pupils attending the school in the Bethel Vestry appeared at the teacher's cottage with a large basket well stocked vvith cakes and fruit, wishing to express in more than words their gratitude for having a school to attend during their few leisure hours. The school is opened and closed with prayer. On one occasion the teacher was called away on urgent business, and left the exercises of the evening to be conducted by a friend, who was about to commence with- out prayer, when one of the scholars earn- estly said, " you peach," " you peach "— meaning " you pray," which accordingly was done. This little incident shows that one heart there realized the propriety of looking above for help. The means used for the moral and spiritual improvement of the Chinese among us will, we trust, be blessed of God. " Despise not the day of small things," echoes from the Sacred volume. The little pebble dropped on the bosom of the ocean sends out an influence, extending all around. So the little pebbles of truth, falling on cars and hearts unused to such, will doubtless exert a goodly influence, further than ever we can see. This confidence is strengthened by the words of Him who has said, "For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and rcturnetli not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, lhat it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth, it shall not return unto mc void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

The State of .Minnesota embraces the territory formerly held by the far famed Dakotahs. It is difficult to realize the fact that at so recent a date th.c Indians roamed over these regions now inhabited by an industrious, busy, thriving and prosperous population of five hundred thousand. Less than a quarter of a century ago there was scarcely a thousand white inhabitants, where now there are more than half a million. The Territory ol Minnesota was not organized until 1849, and the State Government not until 1857. Since that time there has been a growth and increase almost unexampled in history. Towns and cities have sprung up, indicating not a mushroom existence, but exhibiting the elements of perpetuity and wealth. Railroads are pushing their way in every direction, and are conveying to distant markets the products of the soil. As we pass through the country, stoam up the rivers, visit the cities and towns, all is life and activity. Cargoes of labor-saving agricultural machines—mowers and reapers, thrashers and plows—are continually passing up the Mississippi and being landed at the various towns upon its banks. St. Paul, the capital of the State, is a thriving and growing city of great activity, and hor citizens are engaged in a profitable inland wholesale jobbing trade. The city is adorned with many beautiful private residences, and several handsome churches are going up. Minneapolis and St. Anthony are situated on opposite sides of the Mississippi River, at the head of navigation. At this point are the falls of St. Anthony of historic celebrity. Already the vast water-power has been made subservient to the interests of manufactures, hence Minneapolis possesses a source of �66 TH X FRIEND. A U l!

Here ure also come from Scandinavia! saw-mills converting the forests of the Upper Mississippi into lumber, while flour-mills arc grinding wheat with astonishing rapidity. We passed one mill with capacity for grinding 300 barrels of flour in a single day. Notwithstanding the vast water-power at command, still steam-power is the competitor of water power. From the chamber where we are now writing, we can hear the steamwhistle of an immensesaw-mill. With these resources for the acquisition of wealth so apparent on every side, it is gratifying to witness the desire of the people to adorn this admirable site for a city with beautiful private residences, handsome stores and churches of great architectural beauty. The Methodists of Minneapolis have just finished their Centenary church, costing $40,000. It is built of stone, and is a most substantial structure. There are in Minneapolis fifteen churches of various denominations—two Presbyterian, two Congregational, two Episcopal, one Baptist, one Universalist, one belonging to the Society of Friends, besides several others. As a people, the inhabitants of Minneapolis are a church-going people. They are fully alive to the interests of education. They take much pride in their costly and handsome public school edifices. Twenty-one years ago (1848) the Bey. Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia, visited on a summer excursion the falls of St. Anthory, and stood where we now stand. His rejections were as follows : " I visited the falls of St. Anthony. I know not how other men feel when standing there, nor how men will feel a century hence when standing there— then not in the West, but almost in the centre of the great nation. But when I stood there, I had views of the greatness of my country such as 1 have never had in the crowded capitals and the smiling villages of the East. How strange is the appearance of all that land! You ascend the Mississippi midst scenery unsurpassed in beauty. You look out for the house and the barn ; for flocks and herds; for men and women and children ; but they are not there. A race that is gone seems to have cultivated those fields, and then to have silently disappeared— leaving them for the first man that should come from the older parts of our country or from foreign lands to take possession of them. It is only by a process of reflection that you are convinced that it is not so." What lay spread out in an imaginary picture before the mind of Mr. Barnes, it is our privilege now to witness as fully realized. We now look out upon the flocks and herds, the men and women and children ; they are now here. They have come from tho East, *•* What troops have The Swede and the Norwegian are crowding the steamboats antl railway curs, pressing their way into the interior. All the inhabitants of Northern Europe appear to have become practically impressed with the idea that " Uncle Sam is rich enough to give them all a farm." They are now coming forward to take possession of the valuable gift. The United States Government sells land for $1 25 per acre ; and if the immigrant will go upon unoccupied and unprcempted lands, and will cultivate the soil for five years, then Uncle Sam will actually give the settler a farm, " without money and without price." While the tourist finds much to interest in witnessing the onward march of commerce and civilization, yet there is also much to remind him of former times and the ancient inhabitants of the soil. The aborigines have left their names upon the towns and villages. Winona, Mendota, and a thousand other Indian names, arc still retained. Occasionally too a veritable Indian may still be seen, the land of the Dakotahs. " InWhere the falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." No one visits this part of the Continent without going to view the falls, beautiful by nature, but rendered famous by the poet's pen. The visitor is prepared to look around for some trace of the Indians. A youthful member of our party expressed a desire to see the smoke curling up from an Indian's wigwam, but how sadly was our party disappointed, for instead of the wigwam inhabited by " the ancient arrow maker," whom Longfellow fancied occupied his time in making ■ Arrow-heads Of chalcedony.

Thus "it 2,974," is in this busy, matter-of-fact age, a railroad has been laid along only a few feet above the far-famed falls of Minnehaha. The falls are there in all their beauty and loveliness, and we hope they may ever remain to delight the eye of the visitor, but we fear some shrewd Yankee will cast his eye upon the spot, with reference to the building of a cotton factory or a machine shop. Report however says that the falls are upon a Government reservation belonging to Fort Snelling. They arc not more than a mile from the fort. In general appearance they resemble the Rainbow Falls at Hilo, although only about one-half as high. The entire fall of water would not exceed sixty feet, and if we mistake not, the Rainbow Falls at Hilo exceed one hundred. At Minnehaha Falls we were privileged with a rainbow. In turning over a history of Minnesota, we notice that the meaning of the word minnehnha is not waters," but merely but we suppose Longfellow was privileged to indulge in a little poetic license. "All waterfalls, in the Dakotuh tongue, are called ha-ha, never minneha-ha." Neill's History of Minnesota. On the day of our visit (June 2d) to the falls of Minnehaha, we also improved the opportunity of visiting Fort Snelling. No military post in the whole valley of the Mississippi has become so historical or been associated with more interesting incident* than this fort, situated at the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. The fort is located on a high bluff, at the exact point where these two rivers mingle their waters. The view from the fort commands a prospect of both rivers, before and after they are joined. The fort was established, or its foundations were laid in September, 1820 (the very year the American Mission was commenced at the Hawaiian Islands.) From that year to the present time, this has been a central point in all military operations connected with the Indians in this part of the territory of the United States. It was a central point for all travelers to visit and from which to take their departure. Here too was organized the first Christian church in this part of the American Continent. Missionaries of the American, Presbyterian and Methodist Boards often resorted hither. This church was organized in 1535, when twenty-two persons of various denominations sat down around the table of their common Lord. On that memorable occasion a young officer by the name of Ogden publicly professed liis faith in the atoning merits of a crucified Redeemer. Throughout his subsequent career his character as a Christian man in the United States army became conspicuous. He died at a military post in Kansas only a few years ago. Mrs. Snelling, the wife of Colonel Snelling, (after whom the fort was named,) is referred to in the history of the fort and Minnesota as an eminently Christian woman. Other ladies too, wives of United States officers, were persons of excellent Christian character. In glancing over Miss H. E. Bishop's Home," or " First Years in MinneFloral «' sota," we accidentally met with the following paragraphs relating to the grandmother of our fellow-traveler, Mrs. William Hall, o Honolulu : " The first white woman who trod this ground was Mrs. Clark, wife of the Commissary (United States army); the first to endure the fatigues and enjoy the romance of a voyage on the Upper Mississippi. The water was so low that the men were obliged frequently to wade in the river and draw the boat through the mud, thus consuming six weeks in the last 300 miles. (The distance is now passed over by steamboats in one day and a half.) It was December when they exactly " laughing " water falls ; " �got into their winter quarters, and the fierce winds which swept over the prairies obliged them to keep mostly within doors. Once in a violent storm the roof of their cabin was partly removed, leaving no protection for the inmates, antl the baby for shelter was plajced itiuler tlie bed." That infant child is now the accomplished wife ol General Van Cleve of St. Anthony, and mother of Mrs. Hall. It was our privilege to meet grandmother, mother and daughter at St. Anthony. Mrs. Clark has seen much of frontier life and experienced many of its attendant hardships, but she is still cheerful and happy, retaining all her faculties with remarkable freshness, and has the current by no means lost her of life. It is affairs just fifty years ago (1S19) since she lirst passed up the Mississippi, and became located for several years at Fort Snelling. Minnesota has now a population of 500,000; hence at least 100,000 white women are now where fifty years ago there stood but iwie.' lIAKOTAII MISSION. Dr. Williamson says : " It is very remarkable that more than 360 members of the Pilgrim Church have all been converted within the last five years. About half a dozen had been baptized in infancy, and these, and a few others, perhaps, had made some progress in learning to read but five years ago only one of the whole number had ever partaken of the Lord's Supper, and he had been for some time suspended, and had never learned to read. The others were wild heathen, and none of them were received into the visible church prior to the 3d of February, 1803. The two pastors, and most of the ruling elders, learned the alphabet in the prison at Mankato, in the early months of that year, and most of the other members have learned to read since that time, (for a large majority of them now read, and use their hymn-books in public worship.) " The harvest here has been gathered in less than five years, but it was anions these Indians that Messrs. Pond, Aiton and Hancock, and our brethren of the Swiss and Methodist missions, had toiled for years. They saw little or no fruit of their lahors, which nevertheless accomplished much in ; preparing the ground." The foregoing paragraphs we copy from the Christian World. Missionary operations among the Dakotah Indians have been much hindered by the terrible massacre of 1862. The following paragraph relating to the theological opinions of the missionaries of the American Board we copy from " Neill's History of Minnesota : " " Calvinism is frequently represented by those who do not embrace its tenets, as a mure abstract system, only anxious to impress upon the race stem theological formulas ; but the journals of its missionaries BUMS the savages are always eminently cheerful, hopeful and practical.' They came to the untutored Indians of Minnesota, not with a long drawn countenance and severe exterior, but they came singing songs for the MIIKMJ. HUNT. IS 69. 67 THE little ones, and teaching the men to plow, ing books, and various elementary books, and the women to sew and knit." have also been printed in the Dakotah lanDAKOTA!! LANGUAGE. We learn that great attention has been paid to the study and arrangement of the Dakotah language. A large dictionary of the language has been published under the authority of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington nnd the Historical Society of Minnesota. The missionaries of the American Board—including S. W. and G. H. Pond, Dr. T. S. Williamson, the Rev. S. R. Riggs, and others—have been engaged in this work. Their labors commenced as early as 1834, and have been continued, with partial interruptions, down to the present time. They had so far mastered the language as to publish an extensive dictionary in 1552. This work was beautifully printed in quarto form in the city of New York by the well known publisher, G. P. Putnam. Before the printing of the work was undertaken, the manuscript was submitted to the examination of the highest linguistical talent of the country. The late President of Harvard University, C. C. Felton, gave it his sanction and approval. The final execution of the work fell to the lot of the Rev. S. R. Riggs, and in the preface, dated New York city, 1852,he thus remarks : " The preparation of the Dakotah-English part of the die-, tionary for the press, containing more than (16,000) sixteen thousand words, occupied all the time I could spare from my other missionary employments for more than a year. The labor bestowed on the EnglishDakotah part was performed partly by Mrs. Riggs." This good woman has recently died at Baliot, Michigan, and her death has been noticed in a late number of the Missionary Htrald. The execution of this important literary work was only incidental to the missionary enterprise, but it indicates what a vast amount of labor has been accomplished by those devoting their lives to the spiritual welfare of the Indians. Let no man say that such labors are not useful. The world is not expected to appreciate the missionary's efforts for the moral mid spiritual elevation of the " poor Indian," but the preparation of this dictionary is an Herculean literary undertaking. The language must be learned by mingling among roaming and migratory people. A grammar must be composed, and sixteen thousand words caug/U up, written down, defined, copied, re-copied, and finally printed. Hoe opus, Hie labor. When the Indian tribes of North America have passed away, this dictionary, with Elliot's Bible, will be looked upon with wonder and admiration by the literary amateurs and learned philologists of Europe and America. Portions of the Bible, hymn books, spell- * guage. THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION ILLUSTRATED. Formerly Indians of various tribes resorted Fort Snelling to receive their annuities and negotiate with officer) of the United States Government. In the early history of these transactions we find one incident recorded, worthy of being kept in perpetual remembrance, equally with that recorded in ancient history, wherein a certain king was willing to suffer the loss of one eye when it would save an eye of his son, who had been condemned to lose both eyes for his crimes. The fact to which we refer was this : A party of the Sissetoan Dakotahs, near Council Bluffs, in Missouri, had killed two United States soldiers. The United Slates authorities notified the tribe that they would have no intercourse with them until the murderers were given up. Deprived of blankets, powder and shot, the tribe held a council at Big Stone Lake, and the case was laid before the tribe by a man by the name of Colin Campbell. So strong an appeal wns made to these Red Men of the forest, that one Mahyah Khotah and another Indian came forward and acknowledged themselves as the murderers, and expressed their willingness to deliver themselves up to be punished by the United States Government. At this solemn moment the aged father of the latter voluntarily stepped forth and offered to go and suffer punishment in his son's place. The substitute was accepted on the part of the tribe, in council assembled. On the following day Mahyah Khotah and the old man bade adieu to their home and started for Fort Snelling. "On the 12th of November, 1820," says the historian Neill, " when about a mile distant, the party halted, smoked, and the death dirge was chanted. Blackening their faces, and gashing their arms, as a token of grief, they formed a procession, nnd inarched to the centre of the soldiers' parade c-round. First came n Sissetoan, bearing the British flag, and then one of the murderers and the aged chief, who had become an atonement for his only son. Their arms were secured by ropes of Buffalo hair, and large splinters of oak *were thrust through their flesh above the elbows to indicate their contempt of death. As they approached singing dcatli-songs, a company of soldiers was drawn up, and Colonel Snelling came out to meet them. A fire was then kindled and the British flag was burned, after which the medal of the murderer was given up, and then both surrendered themselves. The old chief was detained as hostage nnd the murderer sent to St. Louis for trial." The result of the whole affair was that the murderer was sent to St. Louis, and no witto �TUX VRI X N I), , 68 \U(.I S T , I8• t. - nesses nppcnring against him, he was dis- which have boon donated, the institution will charged.

Why should they not ?

The Scribe of the General Association doubtless did all that was incumbent upon him when cannot reporting what was done, rather than what was not done, in the vote on the report in question. Are we to suppose, with the writer of the following article, that there were members of the Evangelical Association present who cared not to vote, and who suppress their own names and still desire to have their record as in the negative? This is a shuffling with which we should be unwilling to credit any members of that worthy Association. The issues of the day among us arc plain and manifest, and they require to be squarely met. EniTou of thi'. FitiENii:—ln the minutes of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, printed in your paper for July, the following remark is made about the report of a "Committee on the Annual Report:" " On motion, accepted —andafter discussion, adopted, with one dissenting vote." 1 presume this is literally true of the vote taken, and upon the greater part of the report there probably would have been no dissenting vote; bat there were some present who dissented from the remarks of the report upon " education," and did not vote at all; and some also who dissented were absent when the vote was taken. This explanation is rendered necessary by the publication of the names on the 10th page, it being presumable that all there named, with eat exception, indorsed the report, which is contrary to the fact, if taken as avholc. It printed for the information of the public, it should have been stated that several, not agreeing in this part of thereport, present and absent, did not vote.

Cay- BCoya'bsinJocker. The Russian Nobleman and Bible. In the year 1825, a rich young nobleman , was suspected of havof Russia, Mr. ing taken part in a conspiracy against the life of the Emperor Nicholas. He was arrested and thrown into prison at St. Petersburg. Naturally of a quick and violent temper, the injustice done him aroused the deepest passions of his soul, and he spent that first long December night swearing and stamping on the ground, alternately cursing the sovereign of his country who had ordered his arrest, and the Sovereign of heaven who had permitted it. Exhausted at last, he threw himself on his bed of straw, and remained there for hours in mournful silence. Thus eight wretched days .passed away. On the evening of the ninth a venerable clergyman came to pray with and for hini, and to entreat him to accept the invitation of the Saviour, who says, " Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest.''— Mat. 11:26. The only answer was a scornful laugh. On leaving, however, the old man c;aveiiini a Bible, begging him to read it. But as soon as the door was closed, Mr. W kicked it into a corner, exclaiming, " I want nothing to do with the word of a God who permits injustice;" and there the sacred book was left for days unnoticed. But time hung heavily ; hours seemed days and days months. To relieve his utter weariness, lie took up the Bible and opened it. The first verse that caught his eye impressed him deeply : " Call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver thee, and thou shaft glorify me."—I'sa. 50:15. Hut he shut the book immediately, as if ashamed to have been affected by reading anything in a Bible. The next day he opened it again, : chapters, sometimes even lenrning them by heart, and at last became so much interested that he often waited impatiently for daylight, to read and study his Bible. It was not long before he began to know something of the state of his own heart, and to see that, like every human heart, it was wicked."—Jcr. 17:9. He began "to desperately feel that in the sight of God he was a sinner, deserving eternal punishment. In his distress, he fell upon his knees, crying out, O Lord, save mc, or I perish. 0 Lord, "wash away my sins. Blot them out with the precious blood of Christ. For Jesus' sake, have mercy upon me, a miserable sinner." His prayer was answered ; he felt thnt his sins were pardoned; and now, instead of complaining of the injustice of others, he was mourning over his own sinfulness, and thinking of the love of Jesus. He asked to see the old minister ; and the joy of the good man may be imagined when, on entering tin; cell, he found the once enraged prisoner sitting with a quiet, happy countenance, rejoicing in the hope that Christ hail now become his Saviour and Friend. "At first," said , "1 considered my imprisonment Mr. W a great misfortune; but now I see why I was placed here, and I thank God for it. If 1 had continued in my prosperity, I should perhaps never have read this holy book which,by the grace of God, has led mc to Jesus." tranquilly From that time Mr. W awaited his trial, and soon the sentence of death was pronounced upon him. He listened to the verdict with calmness, asking only permission to write to his aunt and sis- The request was granted, and he sent them the following letter " You have learned from the papers that I am sentenced to be hung on the 15th of next February. Do not weep, hut rejoice, for by the grace of God 1 am not afraid to die. I know whom 1 have believed.' The ter. : ' best moment of a Christian's life is his last, for then he is nearest heaven. Death to him is only passing from a world of sin and suffering to heaven, where the redeemed of the Lord will be hnppy for ever. There I will wait for you, in that blessed land where there will be no more prisons, no more sorrow, no more sin. I wish I could see you once more on this side of the grave but as I cannot, I cheerfully submit. My tears are falling while I write, yet 1 am happy and full of peace, thinking of the blessedness promised to all who believe in Christ. This happiness will be mine already when these lines reach you. May the Almighty God, whose presence 1 now enjoy so fully in my.cell, nnd who has made me free in the midst of my chains, comfort you and be with you both unto the end." The writer of this account was in Russia at the time these events occurred, visiting , aware this aunt and sister; and Mr. W of the fact, added these few words to her, which may perhaps encourage those who are trying to save souls, but do not always see immediate results " My dear friend, you remember when you were last at my aunt's house you spoke to me more than once about the salvation of my soul; but \ was young and careless, and did not listen to you.

Tell tjicm it matters little when or how we die, whether on the gallows or in n prison, in a garret or a pnlace; tho all-important thing is, to be sure of heaven by ' looking unto Jesus.' " On the fatal day, the principal rooms in \s aunt the splendid mansion of Mr. W were draped in mourning, nnd we were all bowed down with grief; yet while we wept wo prayed and praised God, and he comforted us. When the faithful minister left him upon the evening previous to the appointed day, fell upon his knees, and in earnMr. W est prayer committed his soul to Christ, ami then for a few hours quietly slept. Before the dawn of day he was aroused by voices in the passage and steps evidently approaching his cell. " They come early to take me to the gallows," he thought, and though prepared to die, his heart beat faster. The door of the cell was thrown back, and a tall, noble form entered, which he instantly recognized as that of the Emperor. A man had just been arrested, charged with a share in the conspiracy, and upon his person was found a letter which said, " We have done all we , but in vain; he decould to enroll W clares he will remain true to his sovereign until death." The paper was immediately handed to Nicholas, and he had come himself to release him. "A few hours more," said the Emperor, " and 1 should have lost in you one of my best ollicers.

Mr. W journeyed as rapidly as possifound us all sitting in a room which was hung with deep folds of crape. When he began to speak, and tell us of the mercy of God to him, tears of joy and thankfulness ran down our cheeks. As he finished his account, he added, " We have prayed to God in our distress, let us now bless him for his goodness ; especially let us thank him for having given ble to the house of his aunt, where he us his only begotten Son to be our Saviour, our Intercessor, our near Friend and Comforter in trouble." And that prayer came from full and grateful hearts. lived the life From that time Mr. W of a truly Christian man. His chief delight was to visit the poor and distressed, nnd bring them the consolation lie had himself lountl in the gospel. He built near his castle a large hospital and home for the sick and friendless, and went from bed to bed and room to room, speaking to all of the love of Christ. His Bible, just as he had used it in his cell, was placed in a rich, case and kept in his parlor, that it might remind him how Cod had rescued him not only from prison, but from eternal death. The joy nnd peace which Mr. W found in his cell is offered to us all, wherever we are and whatever our circumstances; but we can only obtain it as he did, by studying and obeying the word of God." " If you have neglected the Bible, or turned from it in scorn as he did at first, seriously determine to be so unwise no longer. Your destiny for time and eternity depends upon how you treat this book. It olfers you " eternal life."—John 3 :16. You cannot afford to neglect such an offer. fDgoC!nar'te hat." I"WronT close a It wn" near the of beautiful summer's day thut I took my hat to go abroad and enjoy the benuties of the most lovely village in the Middle States. The pure air, the declining sun, the rose and locust odors that perfumed the gardens nnd streets, refreshed my spirits and delighted my heart, after the toil and confinement of the day. Going leisurely along, 1 approached a group of boys, both large and small, in the middle of the street, engaged in earnest conversation. Some Dade expressive gestures with the hands; several were speaking at once; others, all ears, were listening, or, all eyes, were looking. Some were earnest, some vexed, .some doubting. 1 cast my eyes over their healthy, happy, bright, intelligent faces, and thought how soon manhood would steal over them, and they be called to stand where their fathers stootl. " Well, 1 think it's wrong ! " exclaimed one. " answered another, scornfully, " Wrong1 !don't care for that! " wrong " Some !of the group laughed at this bold and reckless speech. I looked at the speaker, a blue-eyed, light-haired hoy, whose slender frame and agile motions were full of grace. He did not look as though he could utter and act upon a sentiment like that. And, as 1 walked on, with no other thought to interest me, the words of the boy were resolved in my mind. Wrong 1 don't care for that!" How little he realizes the sail and dreadful and yet, meaning of those words, thought brief as they are, they comprehend all that reckless hardihood of principle which desolates the worltl with crime ! 1 passed by his father's house. Quietly and beautifully it stood beneath the shadow of tall trees. It seemed as if the refinement and elegance which education, piety and wealth threw around its interior, with the rural beauty and deep quiet which surrounded it, made this home a sanctuary where his rash anil unholy expression could find no favor, however it might astonish or delight his play-fellows. Many years have parsed since then. I often think of those village boys, antl, often as opportunity occurs, impure with deep interest what nook they fill in the great World's theatre. And 1 now know that two of that group have finished their earthly career, and gone into eternity. The first who died was George. All men spoke well of him. * ' A licautiful brig ol the United States navy was steadily making her way over tho broad Atlantic, on the last «i( the year (18412.) With her white sails all unfurled, she bant proudly to the breeze. Her tall masts, her light spars, her linn rigging, hail outrode the storms finely nnd gaily. She had finished her mission to n distant land, and with fair winds and clear skies, was rapidly Hearing her distant port. What of her crew ? Did her commander behold with gratification the prompt execution of his orders? Were the ollicers respected ? Were the sailors ready und obedient? Did the ward-rooms, the " ! 1! " decks, the forecastle witness cheerful alacrity and faithfulness in the discharge of duty? Were all rejoicing to return to parents, to wives, and to little ones 'I No, within the heart of that noble vessel rebellion was brewing, and dissatisfaction was heard in low in titterings. A plot was formed ; sailor after sailor was reduced from his allegiance, and wus scaled with a fearful oath to conspire against his fellows. In the deep midnight, at a given signal, they wore to murder their ollicers, and cast their dead bodies upon tho waters. Masters of the brig, they were to strike the (lug of their country, and hoist the black colors of the pirate. Evurything was ready ; the mutineers were on the eve of executing their daring purpose. God overruled tile (earful deed. The ringleaders were secured and put in irons. The safety of the vessel demanded immediate attention and prompt action, —they were doomed to die! to die soon,—to die quick. "One hour!" besought an unfortunate youth. An hour passed. All hands were called on deck ; officers were armed with cutlass and pistol, the watch was prepared,—the signal given,— the cannon rolled, —the bodies of three were hanging on the yard-arm ! The brig was safe. The bold lender of that reckless band was one of that group of playful boys. Were not his career and death a terrible fulfillment of his terrible words, " Wrong ! I don't care for that! " — Hawaiian Missionaries.—The fine on 'I'lmrsdty afternoon, the Nth of July, fur Micronesiu, some three thousand miles westward of this port, taking fifteen passengers, among whom were. Key. J. F. l'ogue, Delegate of the Hawaiian Hoard, und five native missionaries with their wives aud children. This is the largest Banana* of Hawaiian missionaries that has ever left this port for a foreign mission. The farewell meeting at Kauinakupili Church on the 7th, was one of unusual interest. The building was densely crowded with natives, whose interest in their departing friends wns deep and sincere. Hesides u charge to the missionaries from Dr. Guliok, each of them delivered an address, overflowing with Hawaiian eloquence and warmth. During the meeting the company of missionaries and their wives, ten in all, sUwl up and saug for the first time in Hawaiian the beautiful hymn commencing " Ye*, my Imtive latnl I love tlie,-, Departure of Missionary Packet Jafui ai'wf Star sailed All ibjj sen,,»i am ii,, in well," which has recently been translated by llev. L Lyons. It was one of the most touching scenes ever witnessed here, and few in Hie vast audience could suppress their emotions. Again, SS Ihe vessel left the Jvtplanudc, the same company stood on the quarter deck and repeated tho liyinn, a crowd of several hundred having accompanied them to the wharf to witness their departure. The brig will lie absent aliout seven months, ami during Hint time is expected to make explorations farther to the westward than have yel Ihvii attempted.

As early as February we made our calculations that the Pacific Railroad would be sufficiently completed to convey passengers by the first of May. The result proved that we were not far from right. Every morning's report in the daily papers indicated that each day from three to six miles were completed, while on some days the track layers finished even ten miles. The last spike was driven May 10th, and the first through train of cars had arrived at the spot where the ceremony took place. This train immediately left for Sacramento, and reached that city on the morning of the 12th. The President and Directors of the Central Pacific Road, together with the through passengers, arrived on that train. We arrived in Sacramento that day, and were prepared to start on the first return trip, May 13th. We improved the opportunity to gather from the officers of the road and passengers such information as would enable us to pass over the long route without unnecessary fatigue and anxiety. We would especially acknowledge our indebtedness for useful information to Dr. Harkness, of Sacramento, who had just returned from Promontory Point, where the last spike was driven, and who has taken much interest in the grand enterprise. According to his advice, we delayed our departure until the morning of the 13th, which fortunately enabled us to join an overland party of travelers from Honolulu, including Capt. Worth, of Hilo; J. T. Waterhouse, Esq., wife and daughter ; Mrs. Hall, and Mr. and Mrs. Owen ; hence our party now consisted of ten. In accordance with Dr. Harkness' suggestion, we provided ourselves with about the same supplies for the 'ourney that we should have done, provided we had started off for a day's picnic excur- �74 111 X rll X N l>, SKPTKMBKR, IBfi I.

' " " �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, Salt Lake. We had read for years of this great inland ocean, but yet we could hardly believe that at last we stood on its very shores. We gathered some pebbles from the sacred soil, rendered so famous by the ploits of the Mormons. At noon we reached Promontory Point, where but a few days before the connection was made. We were now forced to say " good-bye " to the people of the Central Pacific, and nobly have they accomplished their share of the work. The laurel tie is gone, and another of more common wood is there, over which we islanders joined hands. Ogden was welcomed by all after a long afternoon's ride over sage covered plains. Its green fertile fields and smooth rolling hills were to our tired eyes like the first sight of land after a long voyage, or as the first green verdure of spring. The fields were filled with wild flowers, and the song of the meadow lark was heard on every side. Ogden is the second city in size to Salt Lake city in Utah. From this point passengers take stages to Salt Lake. We should have enjoyed a visit to the city of Brigham Young had the railroad been completed, but were obliged to postpone it to some other time. As we passed on, the train from Chicago arrived, and we merely exchanged papers. Late in the afternoon we entered the famous Weber Canon. The rain was falling in torrents, and everything betokened a stortrl. The track wound through the most romantic ravines and gorges, which those who have traveled the world over say are unsurpassed, even by the finest scenery of Switzerland. On advancing, the rocky defiles became narrower, and the mountains loomed far above us with their veil of mist and snow. The thunder muttered angrily through the gorges, and the lightning flashed with a faint flickering glare. The wind had risen, and blew in little fitful gusts up the canon. We could see below us a roaring, tumbling mountain torrent, swelling every moment and tossing high its crest of whitish foam. From our wild eyrie the grand forest trees seemed like shrubs, and the houses in the valley like mere toy:--. Knowing there was danger, we were becoming rather excited, when all of u sudden we came to a halt. There had been a landslide ahead which had covered the track. And now what was to be done? Night was rapidly coining on, and we needed a little army of workmen to clear it off, and we had neither these nor the necessary implements. Quick as thought, in the driving rain they place a battery on a rock near by, and throwing n wire over the telegraph a connection was made, and we soon had as many men as desired from the next station. They petformed tbeir wurk, and we soon parsed on. Now ex-1 came the terrible trestle-work bridge at the Devil's Gate. It is builtovera rushing mountain stream, which threatens every moment to engulf it. And here the scene baffles description—that great sweeping river and the beetling, awful cliffs of the Devil's Gate ! It is a picture of sublimity and grandeur that each one must see (or himself, for no pen or even painter's brush can adequately portray it. We drew one long breath of relief when safely over. It was a beautiful twilight as we enlered the circular valley of Weber Canon. The snow-robed mountains formed a grand amphitheatre, enclosing far-spread- ing fertile fields. The most perfect silence and peace prevailed, forming a pleasant contrast to the noise and din of the last ravine. From one valley we passed to another, in rapid succession, through long rock-hewn tunnels. One most singular formation in the rock attracted our attention, called the Devil's Slide. Two parallel veins of rock ran down into a little ravine with a well smoothed bottom like a "trough." Passed the tent-built city of Echo at dusk, and soon after entered Echo Canon. Here is the famous Z, as it is called. The grade being so steep —100 feet to the mile—they were forced to wind around in that manner. How the engine puffed and panted and threw out great showers of brilliant sparks into the night! It seemed instinct with life. What a wonderful, wonderful power is that of steam ! As we neared Piedmont we heard of a railroad accident a few miles ahead—the cars had run off the track. This of course detained us some hours. It was Sunday morning, and at the hour when our friends at home were in church, we too assembled for prayer in our car. It was pleasant, in the center ofthis great continent, to hear the sweet familiar songs of home. Some rough, hard-looking men seemed deeply moved. Perhaps it was the first religious meeting ever held on the great Pacific Railroad. We soon passed safely on. Towards evening we entered a spur of the Rocky Mountains. The rocks were worn in various forms—grand old rocky towers, castles and cathedrals. We passed an emigrant encampment. The cattle were tethered near by, and the long, low wagons stood out in bold relief against the clear grey sky. There was something very picturesque in their bright costumes and in their roughly constructed tents. Great fires had just been lighted for the night. The sun had gone down, and only a rich crimson glow was leit in the west that lighted up the party, and made a picture of exquisite beauty. The engine thundered by, and we soon left them far behind. We passed Fort Steele, where cavalry are 75 1869s swiftly along the banks of the smoothly flowing Platte, in the Territory of Wyoming, the favorite hunting ground of the Indian. Saw several herds of beautiful, graceful antelope. The train reached Laramie and Fort San' ders at noon —well built and strong fortifications. The governor of the territory has here his residence. The ascent after this was gradual, and we wentat u splendid rate, and were soon at Sherman, S.OOO feet high. This is the highest point between San Francisco and New York. At night we saw the light of a prairie fire. We were all charmed with the country for many miles west of Omaha. The green prairies were dotted with thriving villages, and the trees were budding forth in all their beauty. Omaha is a city of 25,000 inhabitants. Crossed the Missouri and took the cars at Council Bluffs. We were whirled through the rich farming lands and prairies of lowa, and on Wednesday afternoon caught the first glimpse of the Mississippi at Dubuque, just seven days from Sacramento. F. W. D. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. A most singular instance of this method of collecting a debt occurred on the overland route about the time the last spike was driven. The principal incidents are graphically described in the following correspondence of the New York Sun, but having passed over that region within one week after the transaction occurred, and seen some of the persons engaged in the affair, we think we are not mistaken in asserting that the amount obtained or pledged was not $12,000, but $263,000 ! It was not all paid in greenbacks, but was secured by a draft on a banker in Cheyenne. The laborers were men who had worked hard all winter cutting nnd drawing ties for the road. They were employed by a sub-contractor by the name of McKensie, formerly in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company. It was not only true that Dr. Durant and his companions were detained, but if a military force had been sent to rescue them, teams were ready harnessed to have "spirited" them away to the recesses of the mountains, where they would have been kept as hostages until the money was paid. These laborers demanding their pay had pluced telegraphic operators on duty, so that they knew just what messages were sent and returned. It was not their intention to have injured Dr. Durant and his companions', unless they had showed force. If they had done so, the consequence would undoubtedly have been serious. They were duly organized, with all ihc system and determination of a California Vigilance Committee. The transaction occurred at a place called Piedmont. The delay in the ceremony of "laying the stationed to guard against Indians. Steamed last rail" on the Pacific Railroad, as the �1 II X KIMKMI. SEPTEMBER, I bti 9 76 readers of the Sun have already learned by telegraph, arose from the involuntary detention of Dr. Durant by a party of unpaid laborers, who insisted on being paid before he should proceed. The scare although ludicrous in some respects, also touched upon the dangerous. The situation—a howling wilderness, with two or three hundred very determined and somewhat lawless men, generally well armed, insisting that their just claims should be fully answered by one mild-mannered gentleman, who hadn't it in his power to make the payment at once—was certainly ttot charming. THE RAILROAD BARRICADED. The train which bore Dr. Durant and some other officials of the road, carried other passengers and the mails. On arriving at Piedmont station an obstruction was observed a short distance from the station, consisting of ties laid across the road, so as to form a breast-high barricade, and a rail immovably spiked across the track ; about this was a small guard of laborers, while the main force gathered about the train when it stopped at the station, and took possession of the calaboose, expelling the engineer and fireman. THE RAILWAY DIRECTORS IN A QUANDARY. They next returned to the train, and their leader gave the conductor permission to proceed, explaining that it was not their intention to delay the mails or incommode the passengers. The barricade across the road disappeared in a flash, and the spiked rail was torn up ; the bell rang and the train moved over the open waste towards the Pacific, leaving Dr. Durant and a few of the officers in the hands of the victors. When all means of escape for the " Managing Director" had vanished, his elegant prison was thrown open, and he was invited to come forth and engage in a conference with his captors relative to the conditions of his release. The leader informed Dr. Durant that the men about him had earned $12,000, which had not been paid them. Unfortunately the character of the disbursing officers for promptness was not high among them, and as they had already waited long beyond pay day, they expected Dr. Durant to "come down " without delay. THK SMARTEST HORN OF THE DILEMMA. Dr. Durant endeavored to converse with the workmen in a pleasant vein, assuring them that it would be "all right." The leader replied that he had no doubt that everything was and would be just as lovely as the Managing Director had represented, " but we want our money, and you shall not leave until we get it." Again Dr. Durant, with his bland countenance made up in the most fascinating wreaths of smiles, applied the " soft sawder," all of which, was duly appreciated by the civil spokesman of the party, but elicited in the end the determined response, " We want our money." In vain Dr. Durant represented that he had no money with him, that if they wished him to pay them they should permit him to proceed to a point where he could obtain the money. They were inexorable.

A visitor among the poor was one day climbing the broken staircase which led to a garret in one of the worst parts of London, when his attention was arrested by a man of peculiarly ferocious and repulsive countenance, who stood upon the landing-place leaning with folded arms against the wall. There was something about the man's appearance which made the visitor shudder, and his first impulse was to go back. He made an effort, however, to get into conversation with him, and told him that he came there with the desire to do him good, and to see him happy, and that the book he had in his hand contained the secret of all happiness. The ruffian shook him off as if he had been a viper, and bade him begone with his nonsense, or he would kick him down stairs. While the visitor was endeavoring with gentleness and patience to argue the point with him, he was startled by hearing a feeble voice, which appeared to come from behind one of the broken doors which opened upon the landing, saying, " Does your book tell of the blood which cleanseth from all sin ?" For the moment the visitor was too much absorbed in the case of the hardened sinner before him to answer the inquiry, and it was repeated in earnest and thrilling tones: oh, tell me does your book tell of " Tell me,which cleanseth from all sin ? " the blood The visitor pushed open the "W at, d en- 77 I XI i: M). SEPTEMBER, 1809. tered the room. It was a wretched place, wholly destitute of furniture, except a threelegged stool and a bundle of straw in a corner, upon which were stretched the wasted limbs of an aged woman. When the visitor entered, she raised herself upon one elbow, fixed her eyes eagerly upon him and repeated her former questions, " Does your book tell of the blood which cleanseth from all sin ? " He sat down upon the stool beside her, and inquired, "My poor friend, what do you want to know of the blood which cleanseth from all sin ? " There was something fear- up that jib! Hands by the head braces! Cast off your head-fast, and stand by aft there to let go that stern line! Let go! Man the topsail halyards ! Run em up boys, run 'em up ! Does the jib take ? Haul over that starboard She pays off fine— there shegoes, and—Hilloa! Hilloa! What's the matter ? What's fast there ? Starboard the helm ! Starboard ! " shouted the pilot. What holds her ? k there anything foul aft, there? Why, look at that stern line! Heave it off the timber head ; heave off that turn ! " " It's foul ashore, sir," said one of the crew. " Then cut i,, cut it! D'ye hear ? Never mind the hawser. Cut it before she loses her way." By this time there was a taut strain on the hawser; a seaman drew his sheath knife across the strands, which soon parted, the brig forced ahead, the sails were run up and trimmed to the breeze, and the Billow filled away. Young man you use profane language. You take the name of God in vain." You must let go that line. God declares that not hold them guiltless that take his " he willvain." name in Christ commands, " Swear not at all." Do you say, 1 know it is a bad habit?" Then letit go! Cut it. Better cut the hawser than lose the craft. One is held by lust, another by pride, another by love of money, which is the " root ofall evil; " another is careless,—but these are all strands in the hawser of unbelief. Let them all go ! Another strong line that holds the soul fast in its thrall is the love of, or the use of in- ful in the energy of her voice and manner as she replied, What do 1 want to know of it ? Man I am dying ! I am going to stand naked before God. I have been a wicked woman all my life. I shall have to answer for everything I have done," and she groaned bitterly us the thought of a lifetime's iniquity seemed to cross her soul. " But once," she continued, " once, years ago, I came by the door of a church, and 1 went in—l don't know what for. I was soon out again, but one word I heard there I have never forgot. It was something about blood which cleanseth from all sin. Oh, if I could hear of it now ! Tell me, tell me if there is anything about that blood in your book?" The visitor answered by reading the first chapter of the first epistle of St. John. The poor creature seemed to devour the words, and when he paused, she exclaimed, " Read more, read more." He read the second chapter —a slight noise made him look round ; the savage ruffian had followed him into his mother's room, and though his face was partly turned away, the visitor could perceive tears rolling down his cheeks. The visitorread the third, fourth and fifth chapters before he could get the poor listener to consent that he should stop, and then she would not let him go till he promised to come again the next day. He never from that time missed a day reading to her until she died, six weeks afterward ; and very blessed was it to see how, almost from the first, she seemed to find peace by believing in Jesus. Every day the son followed the visitor into his mother's room and listened in silence, but not indifference. On the day of her funeral he beckoned him to one side as they were filling up her grave, and said : " Sir, I have been thinking there is nothing I should so much like as to spend the rest of my life in telling others of the blood which cleanseth from all sin." Thus the great truth of free pardon through the blood of Christ sinks into the soul and saves it. Thus grasped when all else is gone, it has power to sustain the drowning spirit, and lift it up above the floods that are going over it. Thus it breaks the heart of a stone, which nothing else could touch, and turns the abandoned persecutor into the zealous teacher of Christianity.— Ch. Union. " — sheet! " " ! " toxicating drinks. How many has it drawn from the bar of the rum shop or steamboat, to the bar of the criminal court, and thence to the gallows,—and too often to the drunkard's grave and the bar of judgment. The rest you know. God declares, " The drunkard shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven." Let go that line! Do you plead for the stimulus and excitement? Let it go. If it be as dear as a right hand, cut it off! If it be as dear as a right eye, pluck it out. Now! Quick! The Coast-line or Hawaii.—Later information from parties who have visited the southeast part of Hawaii tends to confirm the statement, made soon after the nwthquakes of 186&, that a portion of the coast had subsided from its former level. An impression that seemed for a while to prevail abroad, that the whole solid island had more or leas settled down into the sea, seems to have been entirely incorrect But at Keauhon, Puna, and perhaps as fludown as Waiohinu, Kau, there are reliable data for supposing that the coast level has changed. Places along the beach at the first mentioned place, formerly exposed and even used as building sites, are entirely under water. The depth of the water at the anchorage is perceptibly greater. Rocks, on the rocky points of land are visibly lower down at the water's edge than before Another fact bearing on the question is, that in the heavy swell from the southeast, "Let Go that Stern Line." which we noticed as having seriously damaged a ground I once stood on the wharf watohing a brig school-houra in Puna, the sea rolled in over before known to have been covered. This would get ready for sea ; the topsails and courses never more easily be accounted for on the supposition that were loosed, the jib hung from the boom, and the land was lower, than by allowing that the sea the halyards stretched out ready to run it up. rose higher than ever before.

The mode of fishing practiced at Moottoo Raja-welle and other similar swamps is very peculiar, and, as 1 have never heard it described, I conclude it is known to but few. The swamp of Mootloo'Raja-welle is of very considerable extent, not less, 1 should say, judging by the eye, than three miles wide and ten miles long. Its whole surface is perfectly level, except where the natives have raised embankments for the purpose of regulating the supply of water to their paddy crops, or for fencing their fields. It is covered with long grassland a strong, coarse sod. This is strong enough to bear the weight of the natives, who traverse its surface without any difficulty, and, what is still more singular, cattle are turned out to graze upon it; but I suppose their acquaintance with it enables thetn to keep on the firmer parts of the surface. Beneath this sod is a layer of mud of about the consistency of thick pea-soup, and beneath that, at a depth of eighteen inches or two feet, is soft bog stuff—turf, in fact. The whole swamp is what in Ireland would be called a " shaking bog," as, by throwing one's weight suddenly on the heels, the whole surface is made to tremble visibly over a circle of eight or ten feet in diameter. In this mud is the natural habitation of the fish, some of whose peculiarities 1 have described, and they are so abundant in it that I do not believe that in the whole surface of the swamp, which is certainly not less than thirty square miles, there is a single spot of fifty yards square in which a man could not catch more than enough fish to supply him with good and wholesome food for a day ; but no European would ever suspect that so extensive a fishery existed beneath a place on which cattle are seen grazing and men cutting grass in every direction. The mode of fishing is no less peculiar than the fishingground. When a man wishes to vary the diet of bis family with a dish of fresh fish, he goes out by himself at night when the air is still, and walks about the swamp, listening for the peculiar sounds which the fish make when they thrust their heads up through interstices in the sod in order to breathe. When the fisherman has arrived at a spot where those sounds are sufficiently numerous to hold out a prospect of a reward for his labor, he removes the sod from four or five small circular patches, each about three feet in diameter, and all within a few feet of each other. He then returns home and comes back on the following day, bringing with him a basket to carry away the fish that he catches,, but unprovided with either rod, line, hook or net. Fisherman's Magazine. — Christ's Attractiveness. The character of Christ is attractive. The more closely we study it, the more its beautiful qualities stand out in full relief before us. His divine greatness appears in this fact. A sublime work of God in nature grows upon us as we continue to contemplate it. Those who visit Niagara are at first almost always disappointed. But as they begin to take in nil the features of the wondrous scene, its grandeur impresses them more strongly, and when they have filled their minds with the sublimities of the mighty river in its awful plunge, they are I). SEPTKIHBER, disappointed only in the consciousness of being utterly unable to express the emotions which crowd upon them. In a way like this the character of Christ uffects us the more carefully we examine it. His is a perfect humanity in which a wonderful purity, gentleness and feminine delicacy are combined with great firmness and manly dignity. He had a womanly tenderness, but no weakness which in a man would be unbecoming. We find that he never shrank from contact with a manly world, and whenever he went among the busy crowds he was a man among them, commanding their attention at once, never suffering from their contempt, however much he may have been exposed to their wicked enmity. He went, for instance, into the temple among the greedy moneychangers, and they quailed before his indignation. It is hard for a good man to command the respect of a villainous crowd. Christ did. Christ's attraction is not a mere rhetorical figment; it is a fact. The love of Christ impresses people. He makes sick beds easier, binds up the wounds of hearts distressed by sorrow, and soothes those who have laid dear hopes away in the tomb. His cross asserts its real and permanent value, in all the great crises of our busy lives as well as in the common duties of ordinary days. All the sweetness that there can be in a good soul are in him. As winds from spice islands blow over deserts, burnt upand fever stricken, so the love of Christ, wafted from his cross, bears a saving fragrance to a wretched, dying world. We should aim to feel, as deeply as we may, these attractions of the once shameful, but now glorious cross. Jesus must be to us not a faded name of history, a dead fact of the past, but a living God strong to redeem.

Madrid, Muy 12, 18U9. MEMORIALS OF AN AUTO DA FE. This day, 189 years ago, a notable auto in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid. The anniversary has been kept by an open-air meeting on the site of the undent Quemudero, or burning-place of the inquisition. This site has long been known as a broad mound, of an acre or two's extent, immediately outside the gate of San Bernardo. The construction of a new road has rendered it necessary to cut through this mound ; and, by a singular coincidence, on the very days when, after three centuries of intolerance, the assembled Cortes of Spain were discussing and legislating on religious liberty, the cutting for the new road was laying open to view one of the most extraordinary and impressive sights the eye could nst upon. Precisely as in other parts we see ideologic strata of marl or gntvel, or the osseous remains of a bygone uge, so in this broad section are laid bare, alternating with sand and earth, a series of black bands of ashes, thickly bedded with human bones. Thus the cruel intolerance of man is written in the very earth—"the stone cries out of the wall " against the wickedness of a tyrant priestly domination. Instruments of torture have also been exhumed ; amongst them an iron collar, of which one orator in the Cortes, pleading for liberty of conscience, said its iron was softer, possessed more bowels of compassion, than the hearts of those who used it—" the infamous executioners of an infamous theocracy." Many, if not most, who were present at the manifestation of today carried off some bone or bones. I have half a dozen on the table before me as I write, to animate my zeal. Men have so long held their peace, it seems God would make the very stones cry out in protest against intolerance. Suffice it, the Cortes have voted religious toleration much as we have it in England, with a State Church preserved as the law of the land. And to-day, in view of the black seams of martyr soil, while " Young Spain," in the speeches made at the meeting, was making infidel attacks against the Romish hierarchy, and against religion in was every phase, our good brother L vending, as fast as hands could supply, the Divine Word for the healing of the nations. He took nearly .£4, great part in half-pence, the price of the separate Gospels, whilst our young men distributed many thousand tracts among the assembled crowds. This latter success has encouraged us in view of the great annual fair, which begins this week, which is to Madrid as Greenwich Fair to London. In it we have taken a tent, and shall have in operation also our movable stand—a kind of Bible-cart we have had constructed, of which to-day's good service at the Quemadero was the inauguration. dafe was celebrated THE GOSPEL IN MADRID. My two months' absence at Seville enables me well to judge of the progress of the evangelistic efforts in Madrid on my return. I find a marked advance, for which I feel deeply thankful to Him who giveth the increase. The public services on Sunday are crowded by an audience in great part of regular attendants, as many as a thousand persons frequently forcing themselves into the ii{ 11; M). gitpli;>i |{ i: j{. church. The Thursday morning service,designed for ladies and others who wish to avoid the crowd, is attended by some .lOO, and seems to engage increasing interest. The Lord's Supper, which was administered on Easter Sunday for the first time to fifty-two persons, is likely on Whit Sunday, for which it is again announced, to be attended by near 150, judging by the number of persons who have already seen the pastors with a view to taking part in the communion. I will pass by in this letter, however, the ordinary topics of which in former letters I have written much, only saying that the liberality of the American Bible and Tract Societies is giving a new impulse to the important branches embraced by these agencies. That of the former is of especial value, as the Christian laborers in the Spanish field are still fettered in respect of the supply of the Scriptures.—Evangelical Christendom.

During the last three days, ending tins morning, June 14th, we have traveled live hundred miles by railroad, and yet spent two days at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On Friday morning, May 11th, we left Minneapolis. Passing rapidly through the southern part of the State of Minnesota and the northern put of lowa, we crossed the Mississippi at Prairie dv Chien, and taking a sleeping car, we found ourselves in the morning on the opposite side of the State of Wisconsin, approaching Milwaukee, a city of 80,000 inhabitants, and situated on the western shore of Lake Michigan, 85 miles north of Chi- There we were cordially welcomed whom we left in Connecticut on friends by our first departure for the Hawaiian Islands in 1842. During the period of our absence Irom the country, the beautiful city of Milwaukee has been built up. Its foundation was scarcely laid thirty years ago. It is now the centre of on immense wheat trade. Daily with immense trains of cars arrive loaded wheat, amounting to about Oft. million of hush.U per week ! It is immediately transferred to ih rotors, and from thence \o vessels which will convey it, via the great lakes, to Buffalo, and so on via the canal around the Falls of Niagara, down to the St. Lawrence, or by railroads to New York and other iities. The business of Milwaukee is immense, and upon the increase. From the high bluffs overlooking the lake we had a magnificent view of the surrounding country, and the shipping in the harbor and upon the lake. The citizens take great pains in setting oOt trees, and otherwise ornamenting their houses and the streets of the of city. Just at this time the inhabitant* the the of efforts of proud are justly this city Government of the United States in erecting cago. �82 FRIEND, OCTOBER, I Bft 9 Ti X .

The ice is supplied from water raised by an artesian well. This well was sunk about 700 feet in order to obtain u supply of petroleum, but instead thereof a fountain of pure water teat struck, which has not ceased to flow. The ice is the product of this well. Perhaps ice may prove as profitable as coal oil. The city is spreading out in all directions.

The city can boast of some fine stores (book-stores especially), and many churches, while new edifice* are constantly going up.

From the several speakers we gathered the inference that there is a strong desire on the part of the Evangelical portion of the Episcopal Church, first, to revise the PrayerBook, and so change the phraseology of the baptismal service, as not to convey the idea that the child itregenerated nam the baptismal water is applied. Secondly,Vi recognize the clergy of other denominations as an truly ordained gospel ministers. Thirdly, to maintain at all hazards the right of private judgment.

One week ago to-day, June 23d, we attended the Episcopal Evangelical Convention at Chicago, and then hurried away by the night train to Springfield, Illinois, the late home of President Lincoln, and also the place where his mortal remains now lie entombed in Oak Ridge Cemetery. We were allowed only one day there, and taking the next night train, we were whirled along over the brood prairies of Illinois and Indiana to Columbus, Ohio, a distance of over four hundred miles, in twenty-one hours. After spending a few hours in the city of the Buckeye State, we were delighted to retire to the peaceful city of Delaware the teat of learning, and the site of the "Ohio Wesleyan University," and also of a flourishing female seminary. After spending a quiet and peaceful Sabbath among choice friends, we hurried away on Monday by a night train to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and find ourselves enjoying a tlay of rest in the charming borough of Swissvale, about eight miles away from the grim and smoky city of Pittsburg, where iron is king, coal is queen, and coal oil is prime' minister. We rejoice in a day of rest nfter such a week of travel and hurry, fur it alfnrJs us an opportunity to recall and record some of the scenes of interest and pleasure through which we have passed. By glancing at a map, it will readily appear that we have during the part week traveled over lines of railroad leading through the very heart of the Republic. While mingling with the people and looking out upon the busy multitude, we have felt the nation's heart — beatings, and been inspired with patriotic emotions while watching the rapid pulsations of the nation's daily life. We feel it necessary to check the flow of our thoughts as we sit down to write, lest our readers in the far-off islands of the Pacific will say that we have caught the national peculiarity of boasting. If they should, we can only say �rlf ¥RIK N 0, OCTOB I. R , I8« 9 . 84 olamem." He had love for all men who ob- the lines of railroad, and are supplied with tained their living by honest labor.

Muring our brief sojourn of two days in the city <d New York on our journey across the ..intinetit to New England, we yet found tune, June 30th, to attend one of the noon day prayer-meetings at Fulton street. The impression left upon the mind corresponds to the oft-written descriptions which we have road in the religious newspapers respecting those meetings. It is a most solemn and earnest appeal to the busy and worldly multitude, to turn aside from the noisy and thronging streets fin the purpose of spending a brief hour in prayer to Cod. It requires no stretch of the imagination to fancy HV.idom standing in the street, and calling to the passing throng, as represented by Solomon, in the eighth of the Book of Proverbs: "Doth not wisdom cry. and understanding put forth her voice. She standeth in the lop of high places, by the way in the places of the paths ; she crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors ; Huto you, O men, I call ; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom, and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart," &c.

People who visit a great city, and explore it with a curious eye, generally overlook the moat remarkable tilings in it. They "do it up" in Guide-Book fashion, going the stereotyped rounds of custom-ridden predecessors. The "Fulton street daily prayer meeting" —did you ever go to it? It is one of the most wonderful sights in New York. In the busiest hour of the day, in its busiest business street, noisy with machinery of all kinds, even the earth under your feet sending out puffs of steam at every other step, to remind you of its underground labor, is a little plain room, with a reading-desk and a few beaches, with hymn-books scattered about.

A temperance meeting some years ago was church, wh<*r« be held one evening In the speakers were, as usual, lo be reformed drunkards. An estimable woman, whom we will call Alice, was induced to attend. When the meeting was somewhat advanced, a late member of Congress arose, with apparent to sadness and hesitation. Though I had consented, at your urgent solicitation, to address this assembly tonight," he said, " yet I have felt so greut u reluctance in doing so. that it has been with the utmost difficulty ilial I could drag myself forward. As to relating my experience, thai I do not think 1 can venture upon. The past Ido not recall. I could wish that the memory of ten years of my life were blotted out." He paused a moment, much affected, and then added in a final voice, " something must be said of my own ease, or I fail t<> make the impression on your minds that 1 wish to produce. " Your speaker once stood among the respected members of the bar. Nay, mom than that, he occupied a seat in Congress for two Congressional periods. And more than that," he continued, his voice sinking into a tone expressive of deep emotion, " he once had a tenderly loved wife and two sweet children. But all these honors, all these blessings, have departed from him. He was unworthy to retain them ; his constituents threw him off because he had debased himself and disgraced them. And more than all. she who had loved him devpledly, the mother of Ins two babes, was forced to abandon him and seek an asylum in her father's house. And why? Could I become so changed in so few short years T What power was there to so debase me that my fellow-beings spurned, and even the wife of my bosom turned away heart-stricken from me '.' Alas, my friends, it was a mad indulgence in intoxicating drinks. But for this, I were an honorable and useful representative in the halls of legislation, and blessed with home and wife and children. " But 1 have not told you all. After my wife was separated from me, I sank rapidly. A state of sobriely brought too many dreadful thoughts ; I drank more deeply, and was rarely, if ever, free from bewildering effects of partial intoxication. At last I became so abandoned that my wife,urged by her friends, no doubt, filed an application for a divorce, and as cause could be readily shown why it should be granted, a separation was legally declared ; and to complete my disgrace, at the Congressional canvass I was left off the ticket, as unfit to represent the district. " When I heard of this new movement, tie great temperance cause, at first I sneered, then wondered, listened at last, and at last threw myself on the great wave that was rolling onward, in hope of being carried far out of the reach of danger. I did not hop. with > vain hope. It did for mo all, anH more than 1 could have desired. It set me once more on my feet—once more made a man of me.

Between myself and these the law had laid its stern, impassable interdictions, I have no longer a wife, no longer children, though my heart goes toward these "loved ones with the tenderesl yearnings. Pictures of our curly days of wedded love are ever lingering in my Imagination. I dream of the sweet fire-side circle, I see ever before me the placid face of my Alice, as her eyes looked into mine with intelligent confidence ; the music of her voice is ever sounding in my ears." Here the speuker's emotion overcame him; his utterance became choked, and he stood silent, with bowed head and trembling limbs. The dense mass of people Were hushed into an oppressive stillness, that was broken here and there by half-stilled sobs. At this moment there was a movement in the crowd. A single female figure, before whom every one appeared instinctively to give way, was seen passing up the aisle. This was not observed l>v the speaker until she had come nearly in front of the platform on which he stood. Then the movement caught his ear, his eyes that instant fell on Alice, who, by the kindness of those near her, was conducted to his side. The whole audience, thrilled with the scene, were upon their feet, bending forward, when the speaker extended his arms, ami Alice threw herself upon his bosom. An aged minister then came forward and gently separated them. " No. no," said the reformed Congressman, " you cannot take her away from me." Heaven forbid that 1 should," said the minister; " but by your own confession she is not your wife." " No, she is not," returned the speaker, " mournfully. " But is ready to take her vows again," modestly said Alice, in a low tone, smiling through her tears. Before that large assembly, all standing, and with few dry eyes, the marriugc ceremony was again performed, that gave the speaker and Alice to each other. As the minister, an aged mini, with thin white locks, completed the marriage rite, ho laid Ins hands upon the heads of the two he had joined in the holy bonds, and lifting up his streaming eyes, said m a solemn voice, " What God hath joined together, let not rum put asunder." "Amen ! " was cried by the whole assembly, as with a single voice.— Old Oaken Bucket. "Son, Remember !" There was a cry of anguish from the abyss, an imploring entreaty for the smallest gift that poverty could ask or wealth refuse. But the only boon heavenly pity could bestow was the memory of the past. " Son, remember.'' Remember! No hope ? No future? Must all <he treasures of my immortality cluster around the -few years I spent on earth ? Remember! What must I remember ?

She is there now, but she has forgotten I feel that she cannot think of me, for there are no tears there ; and if she could remember me, her mother's heart would throb with sorrow, and would she not weep ? How would one tear of sympathy, falling even from that dizzy height, cool my burning brow. I shall never see her again, never hear her gentle voice, never feel her warm kiss, or press her soft hand. There is a great gulf fixed. All I can ever know of my tender mother is the memory. I remember my mother's grace. There all the fountains of my nature were broken up. The tears that fell seemed to purify. I was never so near the gate of heaven. There seemed but one more step. I resolved then, as I looked for the last time in her face, that I would take that step, liecome a Christian, and join her above. But 1 did not begin at Once. I did not ask God to help me to commence from that hour to serve him, and so for me my mother died in vain. 1 retnembar the Sabbatles that came so often, the church-liells sounding so sweetly on the quiet air, the gathering worshipers, the earnest prayer, the message from Cod.

There ministers of Christ pleaded with me. The sacred blood ol the Saviour was seared out belore mv eyes. The crass was held up from Sabbath to Sabbath, and from year to year. Again and again the Holy Spirit moved over the ]n-ople, and 1 was almost persuaded to be a Christian, but not just then. That Sabbath-bell is hushed. The voice of the preacher is chanting high praises in the upper sanctuary. I shall never hear them again. I can only rimiiidnr them in my ! nu. . from his gentle entreaties, and now they have ceased for ever. I think now of the wealth Cod gave me, which I s)H'iit in my own ease and selfish indulgence, and which 1 did not dispense as his steward ; the business, so engrossing that il left no time for stayer J the terrible warnings I received, which only arrested me for a moment. How patient Got! was with mr. How long-siiflcriiig the Saviour. Each day brought its blessinga uncounted and unacknowledged, each night its solemn reminder of death, but nil in vain. A thousand gentle persuasions of the Spirit, which in the whirl of pleasure fell unheeded, recur to mc now, A thousand secret monitions neglected come thronging on my memory, and every lime I remember them my infatuation and my folly seem more inexcusable. These remembrance! madden me, vet I can not forget. J'.ver as the endless coil tit eternity tightens around me, is graven deeper and deeper on my soul the memory of the blessings 1 enjoyed and wasted, of the privileges and opportunities gone beyond recall. In the hush of terrestrial night the stars looketl down upon me, and taught me God's wisdom ami omnipotence. Not one star shines here. The sunlight was a glorious gift. But of all the myriad rays which flood the immensity of space, not one is ever commissioned to pierce this blackness of darkness, 1 recall many a scene of loveliness. The spring-time with its fairy blossoms, the green valley, the brook, the meadow, and the blue mountain ; the birds tilling the air with their melody, and the busy street with its active, restless throng, Oh earth, even earth, though scathed by sin and blighted then, seems a very paradise to me now. It is circling with obedient course in its orbit, fairer and lovelier than ever in its restored glories; but on its varied beauty I shall never look again. I can only remember it as my first home, my only borne. This ia not home. The bitterest drop jn my cup of gall, in the thought that there was a home of inefliible peace offered nn: which I shall never enter, a harp tuned for me whose chorda I shall never sweep, and a crown of immortal life set before me which I shall never wear. Blessed JeStM, I thank thee that I am still in the land of hope; that there is g, t no great gulf fixed between me and a heaven of infinite blessedness. Let me no longer risk my soul by delay. Help me to redeem the time. Too long have I grieved thy mercy: let that mercy now interno»»e to save inc. Give me true repentance and sincere faith. I would believe; Oh help my Unbelief. I give myself to thee now and forever. Take my heart, my time, my strength, my Soul, my all. Do thou cleanse me. Do lhnu strengthen me. Lei thy Holy Spirit lead me in the way of all truth. Help me to honor thee while I live; and accept me in the great day. Thou hast died nnd risen again, that 1 might live for ever. anguish. To lliee, who unci' nn ('ntviiry I remember too that the Spirit of Cod 1 ltUrtl Miner on lII iicrursfd tin-, was offered me to purify my nature, ami to And ailed thy precious Mood for rue. fit me for an abode in yonder blessed place; (11l übVBbS of (old, 1 coin.-. nny, how often that gracious Spirit strove Wicked men stumble at a straw in with me, to turn from sin, to seek the favor of Heaven, and accept the righteousness and the way to heaven ; and climb over great intercession of Christ; but I turned away mountains on their way lo hell. �.
