Several public meetings were held id
Honolulu during the month of October, m
which the policy of importing laborers into
these Islands was fully discussed. The present coolie system, so called, is not without
serious objections and evils, but no plan has
yet been proposed which promises entirely
to ohviiite them. The English Government
has found great difficulty in grappling with
the Mime subject as applied to her West Indian colonies ; in view of which the Hawaiian Government is at least entitled to a lenient judgment regarding whatever mistakes
have been made. It is one of the remarkable teatures of the present day, that notwithstanding all the improvements whichmachinery has introduced into business and manufacturing, human muscle—the rough labor
of unskilled workmen —was never so much
called for, or so hard to get as now. The
experience of the past seems to teach that
labor will flow quickest into those channels
where it is entirely free, and where the son
of toil, however low he be in race or condition, finds in the kind treatment he receives
a full recognition of his manhood.

versify. Our limited space will not allow us
continue the enumeration. As might be
imagined, such an occasion brought together
all the men of nntunfl science, for it was the
" Natural History Society " of Boston under
whose auspices the festival was celebrated.
To crown this vast assemblage, there stood

Aoarsiz,
the orator and speaker on this interesting occasion. He was not only the pupil of the
great Humboldt, but his personal friend and
correspondent for nearly thirty years. Nothing could have been more appropriate than
the selection of Prof. Agassiz as the orator
of the day. No person probably in Europe
or America was ko well fitted as Agassiz to

We listened to the address of Prof. Agassiz with mingled emotions of admiration and
reverence. It was surely a rare treat to sit

world.
Our limits will not allow us to give even
a brief synopsis of the masterly address. The
speaker was eloquent in his most simple utterances, for he imposed, evidently upon his
pen in writing, a truthfulness and severity
which clothed each paragraph in the most
chnste language and the most terse expressions. The speaker's allusions to his per
sonal indebtedness to Humboldt while a
young man in Paris, struggling for position
and a livelihood, formed a most touching
part of the admirable address. It was in
1830 when Humboldt was 62 and Agassiz
was 24 years of age. We copy as follows
" He had at this time two residences in
Paris; his lodging at the Hotel dcs Princes,
where he saw the great world, and his working room in the Rue dc la Harpe, where he
received with less formality his scientific
friends. It is with the latter place I associate
him; for there it was my privilege to visit
linn frequently. There he gave me leave to
come to talk with him about my work and
consult him in my difficulties. 1 am unwilling to speak of myself on this occasion, and
yet I do not know how else I can do justice
to one of the most beautiful sides of Humboldt's character. His sympathy forall young
students of nature was one of the noblest
traits «f his long life. It may truly be said
that toward the close of his career there was
hardly one prominent or aspiring scientific
man in the world who was not under some

interested, but extended also to their material wants and embarrassments. At thia
period 1 was twenty-four; he was sixty-two.
1 had recently taken my degree ns Doctor of
Medicine, and was .struggling not only for a
scientific position, but for the means oi existence also. I have said that lie gave me permission to come as often as I pleased to his
room, opening to ipp freely the inestimable
advantages which intercourse with such o
man gave to a young investigator like myself. But he did far more than this. Occupied and surrounded as he was, he sought
me out in my own lodging. The first visit
he paid ine at my narrow quarters in tin'
Quartier Latin, where I occupied a' small
room in the Hotel du Jartlin des Plantes, was
characteristic of the man. After a cordial
greeting, he walked straight to what was
then my library, —a small book-shelf containing a few classics, the meanest editions
bought for a trifle along the quays, some
works on philosophy and history, chemistry
and physics, his own Views of Nature, Aristotle's Zoology, Linnreus' Systema Naturre,
in several editions, Cuvier's'Regne Animal,
and quite a number of manuscript quartos,
copies which, with the assistance of my
brother, I had made of works I was too poor
to buy, though they cost but a few francs a
volume. Most conspicuous of all were twelve
volumes of the new German Cyclopedia presented to me by the publisher. I shall never
forget, after his look of mingled interest and
surprise at my little collection, his half-sarcastic question as he pounced upon the great
Encyclopedia, ' Woe machen Sie den-n mit
dieter fyeitbructf '—What are you doing
with this cue'* In-iiltji .' —the somewhat contemptuous name given in Germany to similar compilations. ' I have not had time,' I
said, ' to study the original sources of learning, and I need a prompt and easy answer to
a thousand questions I have as yet no other
means of solving.'
" It was no doubt apparent to him that 1
was not over familiar with the pood things
of this world, for 1 shortly afterward received
an invitation to meet him at six o'clock in
the ' Gallerie Vitree' of the Pnlais Koyal,
whence he led me into one of those restaurants, the tempting windows of which I had
occasionally passed by. When we were
seated, he half laughingly, half inquiringly,
asked me whether I would order the dinner.
1 declined the invitation, saying that we
.should fare better if he would take the trouble. And for three hours, which passed like
a dream, I had him all to myself. How he
examined me, and how much I learned in
that short time! How to work, what to do,
and what to avoid ; how to live ; how to distribute my time ; what methods of study to
pursue,—these were the things of which he
talked to me on that delightful evening. I
do not mention this trivial incident without
feeling that it may seem too familiar for the
occasion ; nor should I give it at all, except
that it shows the sweetness and kindliness of
Humboldt's nature. It was not enough for
him to cheer and stimulate the student; he
cared also to give a rare indulgence to a
young man who could allow himself few luxuries."
brought against Humboldt was perfectly
groundless. It appears that the atheists of
Europe and America claim Humboldt as
their great leader. One of the speakers in
the German festival at Boston, on this very
occasion, puts forth this claim. His name is
Karl Heinzen, and he asserts that in Humboldt's great work, " Cosmos," there is not a
single allusion to God, indicative of a belief
on Humboldt's part that he was a believer in
the divine existence of a personal God. If
such is the fact, then there is great appropriateness and force in the prayer of the Rev.
Dr. Walker on this occasion :
"O thou infinite source of life and light,
we invoke thy blessing on these services in
the memories they awaken and the hopes
they inspire. We acknowledge and adore
that Providence by which gifted men are
raised up from time to time to make us better acquainted with the heavens which declare thy glory and with the earth which
shows thy handiwork. Impress, we beseech
thee, upon the great masters of science that
they also are prophets sent to reveal the
thoughts and the ways of the living God.
Suffer not the rapid increase of natural light
to dazzle our eyes or obscure or confuse that
divine light which comes from thy word, and
from the instincts and aspirations of the
human soul, so that science and faith may
reverently work together for the good of man
and the glory of God, through Christ our
Lord. Amen."
The music at this grand festival was of
the very highest order, and executed in the
highest style of finish. It was executed in
a manner that only German musicians know
how to give to musical performances. Senator Sumner was overheard to remark to
Holmes, the novelist and poet, " I should not
like to have such music before I was goinir
to speak." The following programme was

EVENING HUMBOLDT FESTIVAL.
At the Horticultural Hall, on the evening
of September 14th, there was a large gathering of the literary and scientific men of Bosobligation to him. His sympathy touched

the most becoming and appropriate style.
Before the large audience of invited guests
were conducted to the " groaning " tables,
there was such " a feast of reason and flow
of soul" as rarely is spread before an expectant audience. The Rev. R. C. Waterston
was Chairman of the meeting. He exhibited
a palm branch that was laid upon the coffin
of Humboldt at his funeral. This branch
was brought to America and presented to
Professor Agassiz. There was also on exhibition portraits, photographs, autographic
letters, and various other memorials of him,
whose memory the audience would honor by
their presence.
There were several extempore (speakers,
in
who entertained the andience in a most
agreeable manner for nearly two full hours.
The names of these speakers will indicate
the general character of their addresses.
First came Col. Higginson.so well known
as a writer for the "Atlantic." The speaker
contrasted the universality of Humboldt's
knowledge with the infinitessimal acquirements of ordinary men. What poems and
pictures did he leave for them ! When Hum-
boldt said that a book about nature should
produce on.the mind the same impression as
nature herself, what a place did he assign to
literature. The Comos testified to the grandeur of his position as a teacher. Nothing
that they were likely to do or say was grand
enough to express the value to theage of one
such intellect as Humboldt.
Then followed an address from the Rev.
Dr. Hedges, a German scholar of great learning and eminence. He said that " Humboldt was a logical marvel of a man and an
impressive illustration of the capacities of the
human mind. After enlarging on his topic,
he said he knew of no mind modern or ancient whose universality compared with Humboldt with the exception of Aristotle. There
was a striking parallel between them.
Both
with
the
two

were contemporaneous
conquerors of the world—Napoleon and
Alexander. He then referred to the heroism
of Humboldt, his unswerving devotion in extending the empire of mind, and the manner
in which he had relieved the mind from the
pressure of all that was local and limiting in
Jewish theology* He defended Humboldt
from the charge of atheism that had been
brought against him. He had always expressed his belief in a God; indeed, if he
had not so believed he would not have had
the heart to prosecute his investigations."
The following remarks of the sage philosopher of Concord, Mass., Ralph Waldo Emerson, were listened to with deep interest:
«' He thought the life of Humboldt one of
the most remarkable in history. He was one
of those wonderful men who appeared from
time to time as if to show us the possibilities
of the human mind and to exalt our ideas of
the genus homo. The faculties of all of us
were apt to appear separately—one appearing now and another again. Humboldt was
like Aristotle or Julius Caesar, or an admirable Crichton—one of the few great universal
men whose faculties were not separated, but
worked in unison, the men being well put
together. There seemed to be a sort of electric light in them through which their faculties mutually aided each other. He thought
that the service which Humboldt had rendered to humanity was in the remarkable
manner in which he had exhibited himself
in his extraordinary Cosmos. He marched
along like an army with solid phalanx and
expanded wings, in the full clauses and
parentheses of those remarkable pages. He
did not think there was any book like it.
His powers were so large and so self-helping
that nothing could lose or disappoint him.
When he was stopped in Spain and could
not get away, he turned round and interpreted the mountain system of Spain and
explained the past history of the continent
of Europe. Wherever he stopped he found
resources for. his mind. They were all familiar with his history, and were glad to hear
the statements that had been made. That
remarkable nation of Germans had been
growing upon us, and showing themselves
to be the foremost scholars of the world.
They had a certain pace, one might say, a
certain endurance, a certain power ol labor,
which left all other scholars behind them.
They knew well their strength, and nations
were coining to know it. The Germans said
if was not the battle of Leipsic but the Leipsic catalogue which raised them above the
French. The Germans read a literature,
while Americans read a book. Their power
of endurance and pace made a class of scholars such as had never before been seen. He
remembered reading in Cavier that more remains of the fossil elephant were found in
Germany than in any other country. It was
not because there were more remains in the
soil, but because in every canton of that remarkable country there was a man of scientific culture who could make the necessary
investigations. There was a better report of
scientific facts from Germany than from any
other country*''
Addresses were also made by Dr. Jackson,
of Boston, and the Rev. Mr. Young, Professor of Oriental languages and literature in
Harvard University.
As the exercises were protracted to a late
hour, we left the hall while the assembly was
engaged in the agreeable privilege of "supping at the city's expense. We learned
from the Boston I domrtieer of the following
morning that "after the repast, a poem, remarkable for its vigor and thoughtfulness,
was spiritedly read by Professor Oliver Wendell Holmes. The poem contrasted the two
great children of the year 1769—Humboldt
and Napoleon,—and in a few striking and
picturesque verses, compared the lasting
glories resulting from the conquest of knowledge to the transitory success and embarrassments resulting from the conquest of empire.

Howe was also read. The Germania Band
played during the supper. A letter was read
from J. G. Whittier. The company shortly
afterwards separated."
MONDAY MORNING MEETING OF ORTHODOX CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS OF BOSTON.
There is a pleasant gathering of Congregational ministers of Boston and vicinity
every Monday morning at the lecture mom
of Park street Church. It was our privilege
to be present and listen to familiar remarks
and discussions on the 13th of September.
About forty were present. Among them it
was pleasant to be welcomed by the Rev.
William Snow, of Lawrence, Mnss., and who
is so well known in Honolulu. It is customary on these occasions lo discuss topics of
current interest relating to local matters,
missionary and ecclesiastical, and also questions relating to national affairs. On this
occasion the lopic up for consideration was
the Chinese problem, now being solved by
the American people. It is quite remarkable
how suddenly and potentially this question
has burst upon the American mind—lay and
clerical. A clap of thunder in a clear sky
would not have been more unexpected to the
majority of the community. This question
appears to have arisen simultaneously with
the completion of the Pacific railroad. The
instant the last spike was driven this great
question was precipitated upon the public
mind. Hitherto the Chinese of California
appeared as far distant as their countrymen
on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean.
It was somewhat remarkable too that just
as the long and violent agitation of the negro
question was beginning to subside and quiet
was gaining possession of the public mind,
there comes up the Chinese problem for elucidation and settlement. AH classes in the
community appear to be interested in' the
discussion of this important subject. All the
newspnpers, both religious and secular, continually present theirreaders with paragraphs
relating to the Chinese. Editors, politicians,
divines, manufacturers, laborers and philanthropists have their peculiar ideas, more or
less tinged by their own previously formed
opinions.
It was not strange then that a company of
Orthodox congregational ministers should
come together on Monday morning lor a free
and easy discussion of the history, churacter.-,
peculiarities, ideas and prospects of

A special invitation was extended to us to

�THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER,
Terible
ABedfellow.
I looked at my neighbor with considerable
curiosity. His face indicated a man of not
over thirty years—a period at which men are
still young—'but his hair was as white as
fresh fallen snow. One seldom sees, even
on the heads of the oldest men, hair of such
immaculate whiteness. He sat by my side
in a car of the Great Western Railway, in
Canada, and was looking out of the window.
Suddenly turning his head, he caught me in
the act of staring at him—a rudeness of
which I was ashamed. 1 was about to say
words of apology, when he quietly remarked :
"Don't mention it, sir. I'm used to it."
The frankness of this observation pleased
me, and in a very little while we were conversing on terms of familiar acquaintanceship, and before long he told me the whole
story. " I was a soldier in the army of
India," he said, " and, as it is often the case
with the soldiers, I was a little too fond of
liquor. One day 1 got drunk, and was shut
up in the black hole for it. I slumped down
upon the floor of the dungeon, and I was
just dropping off" to sleep, when I felt a cold
shape crawling across my right hand, as it
lay stretched out above my head on the
floor. 1 knew at once what it was—a snake!
Of course, my first impulse was to draw
away my hand but knowing that if I did
so, the poisonous reptile would probably
strike its fangs into me, I lay still, with my
heart lieating in my breast like a trip-hammer.
Of course, my fright sobered me instantly. I
realized all my peril in its fullest extent. 0,
how I lamented the hour that I first touched
the liquor! In every glass of liquor there is
a serpent; but it does not come to everybody
in the shape that it did to me. With a slow,
undulating motion, the reptile dragged its
carcass across my face, inch by inch, and
crept down over my breast, and thrust its
head inside my jacket. As I felt the hideous
scraping of the slimy body over my cheeks,
it was only by a most tremendous effort that
I succeeded in restraining myself from yelling loudly with mingled terror'and disgust.
At last I felt the tail wiggling down towards
my chin; but imagine what I felt at my
heart, if you can imagine it, as 1 realized
that the dreadful creature had coiled itself
up under my jacket as I lay, and had seem
ingly gone to sleep, for it was as still as
death. Evidently it had no idea that I was
a human creature ; if it had, it would not
have acted in that way. All snakes are cowardly, and they will not approach a man unless to strike linn in sell-delense.
Three hours I lay therewith that dreadful weight in my bosom, and each minute
was an hour to me—like a year. I seemed
to have lived a lifetime in that brief space.
Every incident of my life passed through my
memory in rapid succession, as they say is
the case with the drowning man. I thought
of my mother away in old England, my
happy home by the Avon, my Mary, the girl
1 loved, and never expected to see tlioin more.
For no matter how long 1 bore this, I felt
that it must end in death at last. I lay as
rigid as a corpse, scarcely daring even to
breathe, and all the while my breast was
growing colder and colder, where the snake
was lying against it, with nothing but a thin
*. otton shirt between my skin and its. I knew
;
"

that if I stirred it would strike, but I could
much longer. Even if I succeeded in lying still until the guard came, 1
expected his opening the door and coming
in, would be my death-warrant all the same;
for no doubt the reptile would see that I was
a man ;is soon as the light was let in at the
door. At last I heard footsteps approaching.
There was u rattling at the lock. It was the
guard. He opened the door. The snake—
a cobra di cobeUa, I now saw—darted up
its huge hooded head, with the hideous rings
around its eyes, as if about to strike. I shut
my eyes and murmured a prayer. Then it
glided away with swift motion and disappeared in the darkness. I staggered to my
feet and fell swooning in the arms of the
guard. For weeks after 1 was very sick, and
when I was able to be about, I found my hair
as white as you now see it. I have not
touched a drop of liquor since."—Prtsbyttnot bear this
riuit.
What is Trouble?
A company of Southern ladies were one
day assembled in a lady's parlor, when the
conversation chanced to turn on the subject
of earthly affliction. Each had her story of
peculiar trial and bereavement to relate, except one pale, sad looking woman, whose
lusterless eye and dejected eye showed that
she was a prey to the deepest melancholy.
Suddenly arousing herself, she said in a hollow voice, " Not one of you know what
trouble is."
Will you please, Mrs. Gray," said the
"
kind voice of a lady who well knew her
story, "tell the ladies what you call trouble?"
" I will if you desire it," she replied, " for
I have seen it. My parents possessed a competence, and my girlhood was surrounded by
all the comforts of life. I seldom knew an
ungratified wish, and was always gay and

that I loved more than all the world besides.
Our home was retired, but the sunlight never
fell on a lovelier one, or a happier household.
Years rolled on peacefully. Five children
sat around our table, and a little curly head
still nestled in my bosom. One night, about
sundown, one of those fierce black storms
came on, which are so common in our Southern climate. For many hours the rain poured
down incessantly. Morning dawned, but
still the elements'raged. The whole Savannah seemed afloat. The little stream near
our dwelling became a raging torrent. Before we were aware of it, our house was surrounded by water. I managed with my bubea
to reach u little elevated spot, on which

to save what they could of our property. At
last a fearful surge swept away my husband,
and he never rose again. Ladies—no one
ever loved a husband more, but that was not
each other, as their little island grew smaller
and smaller.
" The sullen river raged around the huge
trees; dead branches,upturned trunks, wrecks
of houses, drowning cattle, masses of rubbish,
all were floating past us. My boys waved
their hands to me, then pointed upward. I
knew it was a farewell signal, and you.
mothers, can imagine my anguish. I saw
them ail perish, and yet that was no trouble.
" 1 hugged my balie close to my heart, and
when the water rose to my feet, 1 climbed
into the lower branches of the tree, and so
kept retiring before it, till an All-powerful
hand stayed the waves that they should come
no further. I was saved. All my worldly
possessions were swept away; all my earthly
hopes blighted—yet that was not trouble.
"My babe was all I had left on earth. I
labored night and day to support him and
myself, and sought to train him in the right
way ; hut as he crew older evil companions

for his mother's counsels ; he would sneer at
her entreaties and agonizing prayers. He
left my humble roof that he might be unrestrained in the pursuit of evil, and at last,
when heated by '-vine one night, he took the
life of a fellow being, and ended his owir
upon the scaffold. My Heavenly Father had
filled my cup with sorrow before ; now it ran
That was trouble, ladies, such as I
hope His mercy will spare you from ever experiencing."
There was no dry eye among her listeners, and the warmest sympathy was expressed
for the bereaved mother, whose sad history
had taught them a useful lesson.— Pucifie.

:
" Our table " is any spot whereon we can
lay our paper conveniently or inconveniently
for writing. Sometimes it is a trunk, at
others a merchant's desk, at others " our
knee " in a railway car, but now a student's
table in the centre of one of the most choice
and handsome collections of books. This
library is that of the author of the work we
have now under consideration. The friends
of Hawaiian literature, books and history,
are exceedingly fortunate in having a gentleman of Mr. Hunnewell's means and inclinations become so much interested in our
islands, their inhabitants, and whatever relates to their welfare. He is a man of rare
taste in his selection of books, pictures and
works of art.
The present work embraces a complete
catalogue of all the books of travel, history,
missions, commerce, science and literature
which have ever been published at the islands, in America or Europe. We think any
one examining this work will be surprised to
learn how much has really been published
about what Edward Everett humorously
styled the little pin'head kingdom of the

tinue to grow, for the words of Solomon are
emphatically true in regard to the Hawaiian
Islands, " of making books, there is no end."
It only remains for us to notice the fact
that only 100 copies arc printed in the quarto
form. The printing is executed in the most
costly style, upon tinted paper, at the press
of A. A. Kingman, " Museum of Boston So-
ciety of Natural History."
As we look up from our sheet and glance
our eyes around the beautiful book cases
filled with costly bound and handsomely
printed volumes, written by the gifted writers
of ancient and modern times in Europe and
America, wo are deeply impressed with the
richness, value and usefulness of that legacy
which the present generation of literary men
have inherited from by-gone ages. The man
fond of study and reading, and surrounded
with such an array of books, and the means
to purchase more, might well exclaim with

J. F. H.
This work was scarcely completed on the
2d of May last, when Mr. James Hunnewell,
senior, died. In its publication he was ex-
ceedingly interested. During the closing
years of his life he renewed his youth by
dwelling upon the scenes of his early life at
the Hawaiian Islands. His friends and visitors were often entertained by his vivid descriptions of Hawaiian "scenes and scenery."
Wc'cannot imagine anything more truly
appropriate and graceful, respectful and filial,
than for his only son to prepare this work
and dedicate the same to his " dear and honored " father. Not only does the volume contain a catalogue of books relating to the Hawaiian Islands, but it is accompanied by an
interesting prefatory essay upon "civilization
at the Hawaiian Islands."
Former bibliographists—Pease, Martin,
Brigham, and others—are much indebted to
the author for thus perfecting an undertaking which was commenced many years ago,
and which kas been growing, and must con-

was formerly in possession of Napoleon I.
while a prisoner on the Island of St. Helena.
It was among his books at the time of his
death, and when his library was taken to
London and sold, this set fell into the hands
of some fortunate dealer in rare books, and
has finally fallen into the hands of the au-
thor of " Hawaiian bibliography." The original copper plates of this great work are reported to be preserved in the Vatican at
Rome. Its publication extended through
many years about the middleof the eighteenth
century. An examination of such books, so
many of which are to be found in private
and public libraries, makes us feci that there
were " giants in those days," and that the
boasted learning of the nineteenth century is
somewhat presuming.
We would merely add that Mr. Hunnewell is now engaged in printing at his own
expense the records of the first parish of
Charlestown, Massachusetts. Some of these
are more than two hundred years old, and
contain information of importance relating
to an interesting period of colonial history.
DViAeaontlhyfJava.
The destructive agency of carbonic acid
gas on animal life is well exemplified in certain places where large quantities are evolved
from the earth. The most striking instance,
however, is the celebrated valley of Java,
which, if any animal enters, he never leaves.
The following interesting account is given
by an eye-witness We took with us two
dogs and some fowls to try experiments in
this poisonous hollow. On arriving at the
foot of the mountain we dismounted and
scrambled up the side, about a quarter of a
mile, holding on by the branches of trees.
When within a few yards of the valley, we
experienced a strong, nauseous suffocating
smell, but on coining close to its edge this
disagreeable odor left us. The valley appeared to be about half a mile in circumference, oval, and the depth from thirty to thirtyfive feet ; the bottom quite flat ; no vegetation ; strewed with some very large (apparently) river stones, and the whole covered
with skeletons of human beings, tigers, pigs,
deer, peacocks, and all sorts of birds. We
could not perceive any vapor or any opening
in the ground, which last appeared to us to
be of a hard, sandy substance. It was now
proposed by one of the party to enter the valley ; but at the spot where we were, this
was difficult, at least for me, as one false step
would have brought us to eternity, seeing no
assistance could be given. We lighted our
cigars, and with the assistance of a bamboo,
we went down within eighteen feet of the
bottom. Here we did not experience any
difficulty in breathing, but an offensive nauseous smell annoyed us. We now fastened
a dog to the end of a bamboo eighteen feet
long, and sent him in. We had our watches
in our hands, and in fourteen seconds he fell
on his back, he did not move his limbs or
look round, but continued to breathe eighteen
minutes. We then sent in another, or rather
he got loose and walked in to where the
other dog was lying. He then stood quite
still, and in ten minutes fell on his face, and
never afterwards moved his limbs ; he continued to breathe seven minutes. We now
tried a fowl, which died in a minute and a
half. We threw in another, which died before touching the ground. During these experiments we experienced a heavy shower of
rain ; but we were so interested by the awful
sight before us that we did not care forgetting wet. On the opposite side, near a large
stone, was the skeleton of a human being,
who must have perished on his back, with his
right hand under his head. From being exposed to weather, the bones were bleached
as white as ivory. 1 was anxious to procure
this skeleton, but an attempt to get it would
have been madness.—A'< m York Obeeroer,

his petulant reply when the young Virginian
volunteer modestly ventured to utter a word
of caution to beware of an Indian surprise.
Benjamin Franklin had also ventured to
caution the British commander upon the
same point before thearmy left Philadelphia,
but replies the over confident General,
" These savages may indeed be a formidable
enemy to your raw American militia, but
upon the King's regular and disciplined
troops, sir, it is impossible they should make
any impression." Franklin in his home-spun
style, remarks in his autobiography, " When
I heard that, said no more."
This is a most beautiful region. The
scenery is very fine. The surrounding hills
and the intervening valleys, with the Monongahela meandering along on its way to join
the Alleghany at Pittsburg, where they form
the beautiful Ohio, all combined present
such a picture of loveliness, beauty and
grandeur, that the beholder is quite lost in
its contemplation. Great numbers of visitors
annually resort to this spot, rendered so
famous in the colonial history of ourcountry.
It was an event which undoubtedly had an
important influence upon the minds of the
colonists, and fostered the idea that there
was a possibility of successfully withstanding
a British army in the field of battle.
The
whole transaction," remarks Franklin, "gave
us the first suspicion that our exalted ideas
of the prowess of British regular troops had
not been well founded."
All historians
agree, however, in lauding the gallantry and
bravery of General Braddock on European
battle-fields, but having never served in
America, he was ignorant of the peculiarity
of the country, and would not take advice,
even from his best friends.
"
COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT AMHERST, MASS.
Before leaving the Islands, it was our design to lie present at the commencement, exercises at Amherst College. Such are the
railroad facilities for travel, and time tables
are so admirably arranged, that we reached
Amherst at midnight on the 3d, and the exercises commenced on the Sabbath, the 4th
of July. The first day is styled fiaccalaiti; rlt,
Sl/lli/'li/.
The services were opened by a celebration
of the Lord's Supper, Sabbath morning, in
the Collrge chapel. There was no sermon,
but President Steams, pastor of the College
church, was assisted by President Fairchild,
of Oberlin College. About two-thirds of the
undergraduates are members of the College
church. The exercises were solemn and
impressive. In following our Saviour's example „th«y- •* sung a hymn " and separated.

Extraordinary to the governments of Europe.
It commencesthus:
"

Towering nYr the wrecks of time ;

The same hymn we noticed was sung
when the graduating class at Andover Theological Seminary separated at the anniversary last year, IS6B. This hymn is a favorite among Orthodox Christians, yet was
composed by a statesman and diplomatist
known to be firmly Unitarian in his religions
sentiments. He is also author of the oftsung hymn, commencing,
'' Walrliiiiiiii nil ns ~f ill,, ni^lil."
President Steams preached the Baccalaureate sermon before a large and appreciative
audience at 3, P. M. He chose for his text
Exodus xix:s: "Now therefore, if ye will
obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then shall ye Iki -a peculiar treasure
unto me."
As it was the 4th of July, the President's
method of treating his subject was strongly
seasoned with patriotic sentiments. He announced his theme, " The opportunity and
meaning of America among the nations."
After giving a rapid sketch of the history of
Christianity, and making marked allusion to
the history of the Pilgrim Fathers, the
speaker portrayed our country's late struggle. He remarked,
1. America means universal freedom.
2. America means universal education.
3. America means Christianity.
These several points were illustrated and
enforced by references to history and the
present state of our country. The President
offered some remarks, designed to allay the
fears of those who imagine that Catholicism
will yet overspread America and blot out
Protestantism. The following summary of
his remarks upon this subject we copy from
the Amherst /Student:
"As to Romanism, we must take no counsel of our fears. Catholicism has a better
side. We read mostly the works of its enemies. Romanism is nearly the same now as
it was in the medieval ages, when it embodied the Christianity of the world. Besides, Romanian! never has been and never
can be the same in this country as in Europe. The Catholics in Maryland were the
authors of the noblest act of toleration. All
the influences in this country are against its
becoming here what it is in Europe. If all
the Romanism in Europe should come to us,
it could not find us. But even Romanism
is unspeakably better than irreligion or infidelity. Rome is an apostacy, but it has the
gospel, though under perversion. It can
never rise in this country to the dignity of
an argument against Protestantism."
In conclusion, the President made a solemn appeal to the members of the graduatinf
class to be true and faithful to their country
and the Church of Christ.
ADDRESSES BEFORE THE RELIGIOUS AND LITERARY
SOCIETIES.
An annual address before the Society of
Religious Inquiry is delivered by some distinguished divine. This year President Fair-
child, of Oberlin, was selected. This address
was carefully prepared and thoughtfully elaborated, upon this theme, " The Decline of
the Religious Sentiment." He spoke of religion as involving three elements: Ist, Intellectual 2d, Emotional ; and 3d, Ethical.
The discussion of this subject indicated a
;
thoughtful preparation.
The nereraea of commencement wetk
were varied by IWo other orations or addresses of marked excellence. We refer lo
Prof. Diman's address before the Phi Beta
Kappa Society, and Senator Patterson's before the Social Union. The former, that of
Professor Diinan, was upon "Academic Culture." Perhaps no better illustration of the,
subject could be furnished than the address
itself. It was beautifully written, and most
scholarly in all its reasoning. There was a
finish, a polish, </ cultun so interwoven and
rounding off its paragraphs, that the hearer
was impressed with the idea that the speaker
communed more with the great scholars and
master spirits of past ages, than with the
ephemeral authors of the present day. Professor Dimau is connected with Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island.
Senator Patterson's oration before the Social Union, or Union of the Literary Societies of the College, was a discussion of the
theme, " Education in its Relations lo the
State." Senator Patterson's high position
as a member of the United States Senate,
his characteras a scholarof varied culture,and
his decided Christian sentiments, awakened
a lively anticipation, which the delivery of
the oration by no means lowered or weakened. The orator's fine and scholarly countenance, intellectual forehead, and commanding address, caused the audience to expect
much ; hence when " thoughts that breathe
and words that burn " flowed forth, all felt
that it was good to be there, within the precincts of Amherst College.
Our limits will not allow us to dwell
minutely upon the " prize declamations " of
the Freshman and Sophomore cla
Neither can we specify lbs several orations
of the graduating class. These performances
indicated that Amherst College students of
the present day fully sustained the character
of the institution of a former generation,
when such men were undergraduates as Governor Bullock, Key. H. Ward Beecher, Rev.
Dr. Stoers, Bishop Huntingdon, Rev. Dr.
Hitchcock of Union Theological Seminary,
Professor Hackett of Newton Seminary, Professor B. B. Edwards of Andover Seminary,
the Rev. Dr. Perkins of Oroomiah, and a
host of others.

sionaries to foreign lands. Some have gone
to Asia, others to Africa, and others to the
islands of the sea.
One of the most interesting gatherings of
commencement week is the Alumni meeting
and the Alumni reunion. Then convene
those long separated, who come together to
renew their acquaintance and brighten up
their friendships. The utmost cordiality and
kindly feeling prevail. Memories of college
life of a former generation are brought into
review. The names are reported of those
who have been removed by death.
When the graduates of former years return, it is delightful and refreshing to listen
to their personal history—sometimes sad,
sometimes amusing, and never uninteresting.
It was our privilege to graduate in 1S!16,
just thirty-three years ago. We now met
only three of our fellow-graduates, but each
representing one of the learned professions,
viz : L. C. Kellogg, Judge of Vermont,
Nathan Allen, M. D., of Lowell, Mass., and
the Rev. Professor Roswcll D. Hitchcock, of
New York city. The record of each is most
honorable to himself and the profession which
he has chosen.
During commencement week we improved
the opportunity to wander about the College
premises and revisit old haunts, many of
which recalled scenes of former days, highly
calculated to suggest trains of useful reflection, while not a few spois reminded us of
incidents admirably suited

SITE FOR AMHERST COLLEGE WELL CHOSEN.
Great improvements have been made upon
the College grounds during the last few
years. Buildings of great architectural beautyhave been erected, and others are in process
of erection. The institution is now well endowed, and manned by an able corps of professors and tutors, at the head of whom
stands President Steams, who is a graduate
of "old Harvard." During his presidency
the College has been raised from its low estate of poverty. Liberal donations from
wealthy friends of the institution began to be

made during the lifetime of President Hitchcock, that learned geologist and scholar of
natural science, who was emphatically one
of Nature's noble men. We found only two
professors remaining who taught in our colleg* days. We refer to Professors Snell and
Tyler. Long may they there be permitted
to labor with their present associates.
We were impressed in our youthful days
with the Amherst as an admirable site for a
collegiate institution, but on our revisiting
the spot our early impressions have been
greatly deepened. It is a most beautiful region. The view from the College tower is
one of surpassing loveliness, beauty and
grandeur. We have never beheld anything
to surpass it in all of our wanderings in
North or South America, or the islands of
the sea. The panorama is complete. On
the north rises Sugar Loaf Mountain, standing as a sentinel, overlooking and guarding
the- beautiful valley of the Connecticut. To
the east Pelhain Hills stretch away, on whose
sides woodland and cultivated fields are
beautifully blended. To the south there is
a range of hills, terminating with Mount
Holyoke, of world-wide renown ; while to
the west lies the " Norwood'" of Mr. Beecher
and the valley of the Connecticut, along
which the bcnutiful river by that name wends
its way to Long Island Sound. With Holland, in " Kathrina," we can join our voice :

"
of my college days. In that beautiful valley
we spent five and a half years, first as an
academy student, and then as a collegian.
It was just one-tenth of our life. It was at
a most impressible period of existence.
Friendships were then formed which have
been life-long. It was delightful after having spent so many years in a foreign laud,
to return and revisit that pleasant region.
Our visit was in early July, just the season
when Nature was fully robed, and the whole
atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of
the new-mown hay or the perfume of the
cultivated fields and beautiful gardens. While
looking out upon these scenes as we rode
along the highway, walked under the shade
of the majestic elm, strolled over the pleasure
grounds, or surveyed the whole surrounding
region from the College tower, the lines of
the poet Campbell were suggested to mind
'•

In the very centre of this valley, on a com-
:
manding eminence, is located Amherst College. As years and ages roll away, may the
youth of New England and America resort
thither to pursue their studies preparatory to
the labors, toils and conflicts of professional
life, and from those halls, consecrated to
learning, science and religion, may they go
forth to make this world better. Should
this result follow, the pious founders and
generous patrons of Amherst College will
find their prayers answered and their efforts
crowned with a divine blessing.

TheDS
ByREV. JAMES BEECHER.
1 have had some pleasing reflection:, concerning the happy death of a poor fellow
whom I found in one of the sailor boardinghouses ashore, and took on hoard my residence, that he might at least have a decent
place to die in. A fouler hole than that from
which I took him, can scarcely be imagined.
There were no less than fourteen man-o'war's men lying about the floor, dead drunk,
while half a dozen more were singing, and
shouting, and swearing. The whole air was
reeking with the funics of stale tobacco and
bad ruin. I was sorry for the blaspneming
company,—more sorry even than tor those
who, in drugged sleep, were, at least for the
time being, incapable of oaths. My ears
were stunned, my eyes blinded, my stomach
sick, my heart sad and sore. And yet in
this den of iniquity lay a human being dying
of consumption. Into his shattered lilies
poured this steaming, pestilential air. Into
his dying cars poured tins even more pestilential flood of filthy und profane babbling.
He feared to die, and well he might, for he
could not bear to think of a place of punishment worse than that in which be was. And
as his hollow cough rung put now and then
above all the confusion and noise, it sounded
like a death-knell pealing over the lost souls
of the whole company.
Such, then, was the place where I found
this young man. And as I came to his bed
side, and told him ! was a minister of the
gospel, he turned his face to the wall, and
burst into tears. "Oh," said he, "it's too
late now, —too late now. I've only a day or
two te live,—and what is that to a whole
life ol sin. The time is past. I must to
go—go." And his voice broke into sobs so
overpowering that I feared for his life.
I could not pray there,—it seemed u mockery to pray there, and speak of peace. My
heart was M full of sadness, and agony even,
that prayer was denied me. Said I, «• my
poor icliow, you are dying, it is true, and'l
can't save you, but you shall at least have a
decent place to die in " and by the kind assistance of a friend who lives "with nic, we
had him ere long on board my Bethel, in a
pleasant room, still and quiet, with pure air
breathing all about him, and pure water rippling by his open windows. It seemed as
though his heart would overflow with tear
of gratitude. "Oh," said he, -it's joy
enough to die here."
But the best of all is yet to come. He revived at once; and though it was evident
ihat his time was short, yet it pleased God
to relieve him from pain. For two or three
days I read much, and prayed much with
him, but could not prevail upon him to pray.
;
One night, however, to my
surprise, Lheard
him through the thin bulkhead which separates our rooms, praying with such earnestness and power, that it seemed as though
God were present in the room with him. 1
went to sleep, and awoke about midnight,
and still was he wrestling in prayer. I would
not break in upon him, but earnestly did I
pray for him,—and even to the morning
�THE FRIEND,
light, without repose, without cessation, did
his prayers pour forth.
After breakfast I went into his room, and
oh, how changed was that sunken face of
his ! Sunken it was as ever, but so lighted
up by smiles of joy and hope, that I could
scarcely believe my eyes ! Tears rolled down
bis cheeks, as he clasped my hand, and m

Long we prayed together,—his excitement
passed away, and in its place came such
gentle, trusting, peaceful resignation, that I
gained a lesson I shall never forget.
Gradually he sank day by day,—painless,
fearless—even joyful. His two days of life
were lengthened to three weeks, And ten
minutes before he died, lying in my arms, he
looked up, and said, in broken words, " O
Mr. 8., God bless you,—God bless you."
Said I, " My poor fellow, you have probably
only a few minutes to live. Does that hope
stand by you still. Is JsMM your hope and
your salvation ? " " Yes, yes," said he, and
closed his eyes as if in sleep. I laid his head
upon the pillow, and thinking that he would
doze a little, as he had before done, I stepped
into the next room for a few moments' rest ;

The following letter was addressed to
the Prince of Wales during his visit to the
United States in 1860. We state the fact,
upon the authority of General Williams, of
Norwich, Ct., that after the return of the
Prince to England, this letter was printed,
accompanied by the English coat of arms,
thus indicating that the sentiments expressed
in this letter were approved of by the Prince,
although hi? example might tend in another
direction. The letter has been extensively
circulated in the United States in the form
of a tract. The copy we forward for publication in the friend was presented to us by
General Williams. He is accustomed to circulate great numbers of tracts among the
children, youth and those of riper years residing in Norwich and vicinity. Most sincerely do we hope that the republication of
this letter in the Friend may result in good.

you for your late visit, and trust that Divine
Providence may make it a presage of signal
good to your nation and our own.
We gave you, my Lord, unmistakable evidence of affectionate homage, when " the
shout of a king" went up on every hand,
and men of all panics cried " God save the
Queen," and You, the heir of her illustrious
throne ! Hence, in this appeal, 1 shall not
disgust you by offering a needless amount of
homage, nor degrade myself by making unnecessary apologies.
Your likeness is among us in daguerreotypes by thousands, and it may gratify you
to know that our artists have in no instance
disfigured the countenance of your Royal
Highness by the presence of your meerschaum with its noxious fumes.
But I am sorry to say that our youth, far
and near, have discovered that the Prince
whom we delighted to honor is a devotee of
this idol—a victim of this master-vice of the
age !
Wherever these dear boys trace you in
your route, whether on railroads, rivers or
lakes, in Canada or Illinois, in Baltimore or
Boston, on the heights of Quebec or on the
banks of the Potomac, they see you with this
idol in your mouth, environed by smoke
I have spent ten of the best years of my
life in battling tobacco, in warning our rising
millions against this fashionable abomination
and its affinities, and in forming Bands of
Hope. Hence you compel me to tell you, my
Lord, that your example has been contagious,
and in this particular pernicious.
We were afflicted with juvenile smokers
before. These young Etna* were about us
in abundance. But now our tobacconists,
urged by cupidity, are rapidly manufacturing the Prince of"Wales Cigars, and, by this
fascinating brand, our urchins and dandies
are fast copying this vice of yours, who may
never copy your virtues.
I hate tobacco as Lord Nelson hated a
Frenchman. " 1 will fight a Frenchman,"
was his language, " wherever I can find him ;
wherever he can anchor, my ship shall be
there." Hence, even your Koyal Highness
may expect no quarter for this vice ; for, God
helping me, I will battle it alike on a throne
or in a dungeon.

dividual capacity or position, butas "a prospective monarch ; " for I wish to induce you
to abandon a habit which will essentially impair your ability to rule over the most pow-
erful nation on earth.
In the first place, my Lord, "your habit
may prove fatal to self-control, and, by
enslaving you, incapacitate you to rule others."
You early made use of this poison. You
use it freely, and already it may have gained
the mastery. The man who is mastered is
one who has lost the power of resistance—
one who is subject to some despot, some passion or imperious appetite. Artificial appetites are despotic masters; and the appetite
for this poison, once formed, is eminently
such ; it becomes a " ruling passion," swaying its victims at will.
We have many political demagogues in
America, who make a vast uproar respecting
foreign despotisms, who disgust us by their
vulgar and boisterous boastings of liberty,
whilst they themselves, victimized by this
nauseous drug, are abject slaves ! They care
more for this popular poison than for God,
Man, or State.
Thus is it with us, my Lord. How is it
with you ? Which has the ascendency, you
or your meerschaum? "As the eye of a
servant is unto the hand of his master," is
not your eye upon this fond idol ? Is it not
among your last indulgences at night, and
your first in the morning ? What luxuries
flowing from the munificent hand of God—
what fruits—what food—what pastimes—
whatfriends—what studies—what sciences—
what affairs of state—what province in all
the vast amplitude of your dominions, occupies half so much time or attention as your
fond cigar, or your idolized pipe? Here,
here is a " power "—let no one despise it—
which carries " kings into captivity, arid
binds princes at its pleasure."
No man, my Lord, who has the soul pf a
man, can contemplate the mission of England and America—a mission, under God,
which is to spread constitutional liberty and
Christ's religion over the carth—but must
regard you, England's coming Ki»<i, with
intense interest and genuine good will. We
wish you to be a prince " who shall have
power with God and man"—" a tower of

i ii k friend, ii i<:
How desirable you should be a model man,
and transmit model kings !
Tobacco is undeniably a poison, which injures the health, strength and manly courage
of ordinary mortals; and we are yet to learn
that the laws of Nature pay any such deference to royal blood, as to suppose it may not
injure you. Divine authority hus said, "It
is the honor of a king to tearch a matter."
We ask you, then, to go to the royal shelves,
consult some volume which treats on vegetuhlepoisons, and learn the nature and baneful effects of tobacco.
Set it down, my Lord, as a scientific and
philosophical truth, that God no more intended you should make this poison a bosom
friend than prussic acid, arsenic, henbane, or
a rattlesnake with his fatal fangs. As a poison, it disturbs the entire physical economy—
affects the nervous system, at one time maddening the sensibilities, at another rendering
its victim as amiable and oblivious as a sleep-
ing babe !
We paint imperfectly, my Lord, but we
paint from life. We think this poison, used
by one generation after another, injures th'e
nerves, strength and " style of man ; " or, in
the language of an English physician, "It
destroys the very principle of manhood." In
the lapse of time its votaries take on a peculiar type—they become tremulous and timid,
lank and Jean—they do not rise to the stature of men, and, what is worse, they afflict
church and state by entailing on their posterity their own physical and moral deterioration. Says another English physician,
the father is never so strikingly
" The sin of
visited on his children as in the sin of tobacco-smoking."
I know, my Lord, that some, who by
chance may glance at this humble tract, will
treat this subject with contempt. But, should
you consult such statesmen as Lord Palmer*
ston, such divines as the Dean of Carlisle,
and such physicians as Brodie, they might
tell you that the man is not born who can
take " the gauge and dimensions of this insidious enemy, which " has smote great nations." Why have Mexico, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Spain now so little nationality? Tobacco with them has had free
course, and is a mighty cause, among others,
of their inferior position. May not such be
the fate of England !
The example of a prince, says the word of
God, may be " clothed with desolation."
Hence, we aim to defend " Young America," my Lord, against your injurious example. But we cannot forget that there is
Young Ireland, Scotland and England, atid
that you have bumble reformers in your own
dominions wielding the battle-axe against
this and kindred evils, amidst indifference
and derision.
It is the character of a virtuous prince to
live for the good of his people. Hence, we
beg you, my Lord, to drop your meerschaum
and its affinities ; and as you are prospectively the Head of the Church, we beg you
to be the Head of the Temperance Cause
amidst a loyal and noble people. A cause
of such intrinsic excellence, working so admirably in all places and times, may not
borrow one iota of glory from prince or potentate; still,so much tire the masses swayed
by " names," that you, the Prince of Wales,
have power sufficient to give it a glorious

impulse, which will be felt till time shall
end.
Advance, my Lord, and honor the injunction, " It is not for kings to drink wine, nor
princes strong drink." Give your princely
strength to struggling reforms by pledging
total abstinence from intoxicating drinks
and deadly drugs." You will then be the
crown of rejoicing to the Sons and Daughters
of Temperance the world over ; and Bands
of Hope will spring from the peat lands of
Ireland, from the blue hills of Scotland, and
from the cold regions of the Canadas, and
bless you. Dear boys and girls, by millions,
will clap their hands, and give you such a
throne in their hearts as no earthly monarch
ever filled.
Respectfully, your friend, my Lord,
Geo. Trask.

ship grounded in three fathoms water. Being ooafldent that we were fir pout, the Sea Horse Islands, I
conohidisl we must be on the edge of Blossom Shoals
Immediately took in all sail and made every exertion
in our power to get the ship oil, but the night w:is
so very dark ami cold, und the sea so rough, that we
could accomplish nothing, and about 2 A. M. found
the ship full of water to her lower deck. The sea

11. M. Wuitnky, fiso., Dear Sir :—Knowing that you are
never tiring in cxci tiug yourself in gathering up the events of
the day, which makes your stitvtrtiser so valuable anil Inter.,
eating to its readers, 1 herewith submit a brief report ot ray
unfortunate whaliug cruise.
'flic Janus s»il<sl from Uonuliilu Nov. 13th, 1868, and steered
off to tbe south-west, running down tlirutiy.li the Caroline Group,
tMMulOfl at severalof the islands fur the purpose of ulilaining
hogs and other supplies. From there steered for New Inland,
where we cruised a short time, >>ut did not see any whalca. Experienced very boisterous weather, with very heavy squalls,
torrents of rain, and thunder and lightning in abundance. Kan
down oil' Booka Bay, and on the same night of our arrival a
heavy gale came on from the westward, which lasted several
days. After the gale abated, found ourselves a long distance
to the eastward of tbe bay, with a strong easterly current and
light westerly winds. Finding it itnpussible to beat back to the
bay again, put away for the equator, where we saw sperm
whales uiicci Captured three, which yielded eighty-rive barrels
of oil. Alter leaving llic equator, steered lor the Island of Ascension, where we arrived Feb. lor li. Hi-re we found plenty "I
supplies, such as v. hakahipa are in want ot before going tiorlh—
hogs. wood, water, w'". railed from Ascension Feb. 25tb atei
steered for Attain, arriving off the anchorage March 3d, and was
hanrrftnj hy a pilot, huidid uul require any,as we ontyicnaalcd
tv lie nff ami on a day or two t,i purchase a few ncceasaries that
were not to tic had st Ascension. Tbe pilot said the captain of
the port would be oil immediately, this belog about the middle
of the afternoon. He laid off the harboruntil the afternoou of
the following day, and not haviug seen any signs of the captain
of the port, or boarding officer, and having no time to spare,
kept off for Japan Sua. Passed thiough between the islands of
Ousirua and Kakirouma March 18th into the Yellow Sea, where
we experienced a succession of gales up to the 31st of March,
when we passed through the Strait of Cores. After entering
JapanSea, steered to the north along the coast uubl arrivinj
iv lat. 61 o 40' N and loug. 136° 48' K. Here we saw a small
show ot right whales for a lew days, hut it was utterly impossible to get a boat Mar one of them. After the whalesleft, went
off Sado. Here we cruised soma time, but saw no whales to
speak of, and those we did see were as wild as those we saw
further south. After leaving this ground, steered off for the
Woodlands aud White Bock. Saw no whales about the Woodlands, and but fewabout White Rock, and those wild aud on
the move. Took our first whale off White Rock May 18th, and
while cutting it la, Mr. Charles Water, fourth officer, had one
of his arms broken by the falling ofone oftbe cutting pendants
