THE FRIEND.
JANITAIIV 1. IBTO.
Volume XXVII.
With the opening of the year IS7O we
commence the 27th volume of the Frkml,
wishing our readers, on land and sea, a
happy New Year. True and lasting happiness is only found by yielding a heart obedience to the will of God ; and this is His
will: " That ye may believe on Him, whom
He hath sent." A living faith in Christ and
His word, which purifies the heart and life,
is alone the source of real happiness, remembering that without this faith it is impossible
to please God. Be persuaded, then, to seek
and live for Christ, and you will prove by
experience the truth of these words, and realize in life and death the Divine promise :
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be
"well
with him."
The Friend as the oldest paper published
in this part of the world has an historical
importance, and its direct attention to the
moral and religious culture of seamen gives
it a claim upon all who desire their welfare.
The influence of a periodical which -is scattered so widely and fills so peculiar a place
is by no means small. Its past record has
been consistent, truthful and earnest, and its
future we trust will be worthy of approval by
all who love the good cause of progress and
religion.
Donations.—Thankfully we acknowledge

support of the Friend, $5; from Mr. George
S. Lawrence, for Bethel, $2. Also fine col*

the slothful man to the ant: " Go to the
ant, thou .sluggard." Isaiah made the ox
and the ass rebuke the ingratitude of the
professing people of God : " The ox knoweth hi* owner, and the ass his master's crib,
but Israel doth not know, my people doth
not consider." A greater than Solomon
and nil hia prophets sent those who distrusted in God's providence, to the lilies of
the field and the fowls of heaven
" Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not,
neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you
that Solomon in all his glory was not erjnal
to one of these."
The influence of all this on pious men in
ancient Israel was most beneficial. Living
us they did much in the open air and in
perpetual view of the wondrous works of
God in earth and sky, nature was seen by
them to be full of God. Would that the
example set by Hebrew shepherds and husbandmen as they tended their flocks, or
pruned the vineyards, would induce those
who live much among the worlds of nature
now to take the same elevated views. The
works of nature would, in this way, afford a
higher and nobler pleasure, when thus associated with God and wilh divine things,
than when associated merely with professional work and sordid earthly solicitudes.
There was not an object in the mineral, the
vegetable or animal kingdom which was not
capable of being enlisted into the service of
Christ. The plant in particular had been
employed by the inspired writers to convey
spiritual lessons. The life of the plant
seemed to them like the spiritual life of the
soul; the rain and dew that nourished it reminded them of the grace which came down
fromdheaven; the flowers which adorned it
taught them that the soul should be adorned
with heavenly graces ; and the fruit which
it yielded, admonished, them that they too
must bring forth fruit unto God.
The lesson of this day was derived from
the plants. Christ himself was the teacher,
and the grass and lilies were the lesson
book. The greatest of all teachers was employing his works as symbols, figures, or
models to instruct us in divine truths. Our
attention was called to four topics. First
we were called to consider the works of
God, and in particular the plants, the lilies,
and the grass of the field. We were to
mark them, to mark how they grew, and we
needed no scientific knowledge, no learned
terms to enable us to do this. All persons
who had eyes to see might in particular observe two things. First, every part of the
plant was made to serve an end; every
organ of the plant had its use. To every
reflecting mind this was obvious.
Secondly, there was visible in the plant
an order, an
a beauty. Special
reference was made to this by Him who
made them, and who now used them to
teach us lessons. God was said not only to
have made but to have clothed the grass of
:
the field.
We were also called to consider the
grounds which we had for trusting in God
that he will provide for our temporal wants :
Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of
—" field

men, and called on us to judge what it said.
Its reasonings were all brief, all very conclusive, but at the same time easily followed.
We were also called to consider that if
God so clothed the grass of the field, that if
he so clothed the bodies of his people, much
more would he clothe their souls with
heavenly graces. This was not the direct
lesson taught by the text, but it nrose directly
out of it. Our souls had already been cut off
from God, the source of all spiritual life;
but so great value did God set on these souls
that He sent his Son from heaven to save
them from everlasting death. Christ's work
when on earth was a work of salvation, and
his prerogative was still to seek and save
that which was lost. He was in this world
now by his Spirit as he once was by his
bodily prcseirce. Wherever Christ went he
left behind him traces of his presence. Before him, as he marched through the world,
were the blind, the deaf, the dying and the
dead; behind him were the seeing, the hearing, the living and the loving. His was a
work of salvation, a work of beautifying;
not only was the soul once dead made alive
by his work, but beautified and adorned. If
men had faith but as a grain of mustard
seed they would, by the vital power which
was imparted, be clothed with graces of
many a hue, each lovely in itself, and lovely
in the place which it had to occupy. There
would be the brighter colors ; the blue, the
pink, and the orange of faith and confidence
and hope, mingling with the darker but not
less lovely colors, with the red, the purple,
and the olive of penitence, humility and
patience; and the whole lightened and
brightened by what was after all the pure
beam of heaven, by the pure white light of
love coming direct and unbroken from Him
who was light and love.
Our souls needed to be beautified ; they
needed not only to be renewed, but to be
adorned. There were some Christian men
and women who were under the influence
ot true faith and steady principle, but they
were not amiable. They were cross, or
peevish, or violent, or stubborn. Such persons needed to be clothed, that they become
not only good but lovely. This world was
but a place of nurture, where we were to be
nurtured, and then transplanted into the
paradise above. The flowers around us hud
their beauty but for a day, but it was different with the souls which were being adorned
by the Spirit of God ; they were to bloom
forever in a better land, where were no
winds to blight nor storms to destroy.
Dr. McCosh concluded by exhorting his
hearers to rebuke their unbelief, for it was a
want of faith or at least a weakness of faith,
which led us to be so overwhelmed with
wordly anxieties.
Sabbath afternoon we started out in search
of a church, which was open for preaching,
and after visiting a Methodist, a Baptist,
and a Unitarian, we returned at 4 P. M.,
and heard another sermon at Shawmut
Church, from the Rev. Dr. McCosh. His
text was " Unto me, who am less than the
least of all Saints." He described the character of the Apostle Paul and gave some
reasons for the sentiment of the text.
We were interested in noticing the method
of sermonizing adopted by Dr. McCosh, win.
enjoys so good a reputation as a Divine and
■ preacher. His method is that of preachers who divide off their discourses into
divisions and sub-divisions, and from the
discussion, drawing certain inferences. The
theory of some preachers, that a sermon is
a " Sacred Oration," was evidently not
taught the young preachers where he studied.
In the evening our efforts to find a church
open for preaching were even more fruitless
than in the afternoon. We visited Park
Street, King's Chapel, Old South, Hollis
Street, Bloornfield, Tremont Temple, including Orthodox and Heterodox, but no
preacher could we find ready to proclaim
the gospel, yet the streets appeared to be
full of people, and the Common was thronged
with pleasure-seekers. At last we saw a
dim light in the vestry of Park Street
Church, and on entering heard a few worshipers singing,
mSweet hour of prayer,
That calls me from a world of care."
The services were conducted by a young
man whose appearance and youthfulness
most favorably impressed us. His remarks
upon one of the Psalms of David were very
appropriate. The audience was very small,
considering the multitudes seen outside of
the church, and the fact that no churches
were open where preaching was to be heard.
We returned homeward, having had our religious emotions enlivened by the exercises
of the prayer-meeting, but cannot but think
it somewhat strange, that in this great city,
abounding with churches, there should be
found scarcely a single one open for preaching on a Sabbath evening, even if it was in
the warm weather of July. At Honolulu
we are not aware that a single Sabbath evening has passed during the last quarter of a
century when there was not preaching in
English at either the Bethel or Fort Street
Church ; and during much of the time at
both.
AMONG THE SPINDLES AT FALL RIVER, MASS.
In order to visit an old college class-mate,
the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, of Union Theological Seminary, who was spending his
summer vacation at Fall River, we visited
this famous city of spindles. Our visit was
fortunately at a time when we met another
old college friend, the Rev. Dr. Poor, of
Newark, N. J., who is soon to leave for the
Pacific Coast, to assume the pastoral charge
of the Ist Presbyterian Church of Oakland, California. During our brief sojourn
in New England, we have been enabled to
meet many of our old college friends and
acquaintances. It is exceedingly pleasant
and refreshing to renew friendships, formed
more than thirty years ago, in the freshness
of youth and amid the scenes of collegelife. On such favored occasions, we can

Rev. Hiram Bingham, Sr.
The late Rev. Hiram Bingham, Senior,
was bom nt Bennington, Vt., October 30th,
1789 ; graduated at Middlcbury College in
1816,and at Andover Theological Seminary
in 1819. He and his clerical associate in
the Mission, the late Rev. Asa Thurston,
were ordained at Goshen, Ct., on the 29th of
September. He was soon after married to
Miss Sybil Moseley, of Westfield, Mass., a
lady of distinguished qualifications for the
missionary work.
The pioneers of the Sandwich Island Mission consisted of Rev. Hiram Bingham, Rev.
Asa Thurston and their wives, and of Messrs.
Daniel Chamberlain, Thomas Dolman, Samuel Whitney, Elisha Loomis, Samuel Ruggles, and their wives, together with three
Hnwaiiaus—John Honolii, Thomas Hopu
and Willi'im Kanui, who had been educated
at the Mission School in Cornwall,Ct. They
sailed from Boston October 23d, 1819, on
the brig Thaddeus, Capt. Blanchard, and
arrived at Honolulu April 19th, 1820. after
a passage of six months. Here Mr. Bingham
took up his residence during the twenty
years of his missionary life. Honolulu was
then a large irregular village of grass huts,
inhabited by ignorant, idolatrous and super-
stitious savages.
It is not easy at this late period to enumerate all the trials and privations of the
pioneer missionaries to these Islands. Their
opportunities to communicate with their
friends and the Prudential Committee in
Boston were few and far between. Their
annual supplies from home were on a very
small scale, and by no means sufficient for
the health and comfort of their families.
Here they were strangers in a strange land,
among a people destitute of civil and religious institutions, whose language had never
been reduced to writing. They must begin
dc novo, with the alphabet, determine the
number of its vowels and consonants, make
up a vocabulary of words, decide upon their
orthography and their etymology; they must
enter immediately upon the work of preparing elementary school books, must translate
portions of Scripture, and thus prepare the
way to communicate the good news and glad
tidings of salvation to this people.
But they had trials to meet of a far more
formidable character than these. Like Paul
the Apostle to the Gentiles, they could say
" In perils of robbers, in perils by the heathen,
and in j>erils by my OWN cimtitryiiten"
Yes, some of their greatest trials and" apprehensions of evil were from their MM roi/nM/men ! But notwithstanding the many
trying circumstances in which they were
:
placed at the commencement of their Mission, they went forward in the name of their
Lord and Masteatand he enabled them to
come off more thTn oonquerers. Truth and
righteousness prevailed, and the rulers in a
few years adopted the Christian religion as
the religion of the nation.
A few months after the arrival of the pioneers at these islands, Messrs. Bingham and
Thurston wrote a joint letter to the Society
of Inquiry on Missions at Andover Theological Seminary, in which are the following
prophetic interrogations : " Is it too much to

�George Peubody.
The death of this great philanthropist occurred, at his residence in London on the 4th
of last November. His numerous and magnificent charities will long endear his name
to millions in England and America. From
an exchange we take the following sketch of
his life
Mr. Pcabody was born in Dauvers, Mass.,
February 18th, 1795. Hisearliestancestorin
America was Francis Peabody, who left St.
Albans, in Hertfordshire, England, in 1635,
and settled, after some sojournings, at Topsfield, Mass. The dwelling and saw mill
which he built there are said to be still
standing He was a man of considerable
prominence in the community, and left what
was then regarded as a large property. But
before the end of the next century, when his
descendant, the late banker and philanthropist, was born, the family had ceased to be
wealthy, and Thomas Peabody, the father of
George* was in straitened circumstances.
His education was such as the common
schools ol Danvers could supply, and even
these advantages he enjoyed only until he
was eleven years old, when he was placed in
a grocery store in Danvers. Here he spent
four years, then went for a year to his grandfather's in Thetford, Vt., and afterward to
his brother's store in Newburyport. A fire
there put an end to his brother's business,
and George was invited by his uncle John to
to with him to begin a new business enterprise at Georgetown, D. C. Here the business was nominally conducted by the nephew
on account of his uncle's financial embarrassments, but, fearing that he might be made
answerable for debts not incurred by him,
the young man, then only nineteen years
old, left his uncle and formed a partnership
with Elisha Riggs in the dry goods trade.
The business, for which Mr. Kiggs furnished the capital, was entirely conducted by
Mr. Pcabody, and in about a year was removed to Baltimore. Here it was so successful that in 1822 a branch of the house
was established in Philadelphia and one in
New York. In 1829 Mr. Riggs retired from
the business, and Mr. Peabody became the
head of the house. He had occasion several
times to go to Europe to buy goods, and was
entrusted by the State of Maryland with
financial business, which he accomplished
very advantageously, refusing all compensation for his services, for which, however, the
General Assembly expressed in public resolutions the gratitude of the State.
:
In 1837 Mr. Peabody
went to
London to
reside, continuing to conduct the business of
the firm until 1843, when he dissolved the
partnership, and established himself in business as a banker. In this business he was
uniformly prosperous, and accumulated a
great fortune. The first circumstance which
attracted general attention to him from
America, was his gift of £4,000 to enable
American exhibitors to appear with credit at
the international exhibition of 1851 in London, for which Congress, unlike the governments of European nations, had failed to
make any provision. The next year he furnished $10,000 to equip the expedition under
Dr. Kane to the Arctic seas in search of Sir
John Franklin.
In 1852 he began thatseries of munificent
benefactions which are now inseparably associated with his name, by a gift of $20,000
to found an institute and library for the people of his native town, the origin of the Peabody institute, which has now an endowment
of $200,000 from his generosity. In 1857
he founded a similar institute on a larger
scale in Baltimore, giving at first $300,000,
aud raising the amount subsequently to
$1,000,000! In 1862 he made the first of
his gifts to "ameliorate the condition of the
poor and needy " of London. He at first
placed in the hands of trustees the sum of
£150,000, to be used by them in their discretion for the general purpose of improving
the condition of the London poor, with no
restriction other than his suggestion that a
portion of this sum should be used in the
" construction of such improved dwellings
for the poor as may combine in the greatest
possible degree the essentials of healthfulness, comfort, social enjoyment and economy." The amount given for this purpose
was afterwards increased to £350,000, equal
to more than $2,000,000 of our currency.
In acknowledgment of these distinguished
benefactions, besides the municipal honors
conferred by the city of London, the British
Government proposed to give him a baronetcy or the Grand Cross of the Bath, but he
declined these compliments, and, being
pressed to mention what would be acceptable,
he said : "A letter from the Queen of England, which I may carry across the Atlantic
and deposit as a memorial of one of her most
faithful sons." The Queen sent him an autograph letter, accompanied with her portrait
in enamel, both of which are deposited in the
Peabody Institute at Danvers.
But Mr. Peabody's greatest benefaction
was his gift to build up education at the
South. To this object he gave in all nominally $3,000,000, but a considerable part of
this amount was in funds not now productive
and having only a small market value, but
which the donor thought would ultimately
be worth their face.
Besides all these gifts, he bestowed large
sums upon each of a considerable number of
educational, literary and charitable institutions, and built a beautiful church as a monument to his mother at Georgetown, Mass.
Mr. Peabody's health had lieen infirm for
several years, and his death, though not immediately apprehended, it was known could
not be distant. Since his return to Europe,
a few months ago, he had visited the south
of France, hoping that his health might be
benefited by the climate, and had lately arrived again in London. He was never married. The greater part of his fortune had
been given to the various benevolent objects
we have mentioned. He died equally regretted by both the great nations that he had
blessed with his benefactions, and leaving an
example which other rich men may emulate
with satisfaction to themselves, and advantage to mankind.
Along with the Editor's Notes from
the United States, we expect to commence
interesting Editorial correspondence from the
Old World, in the next month's issue—it
having reached us too late for insertion in
this number.

Iron Ocean Steamers.
Captain L. McKay, of Boston, has furnished some interesting facts evidencing the
immense strides iron ocean steam navigation
is making. Wooden steamers have for years
superseded the sailing packets upon every
ocean line, and now the former have in turn
to give place to those of iron; and sailing
vessels constructed of this material, trading
on the long routes, are also being crowded off
the seas by the rapid encroachments of the
metallic steamer. The beautiful China clip-
pers which have won so much fame by their
swift flights from the Orient to this country
and Europe, loaded with the precious products of China and the Indies, will soon, like
the old Liverpool liners of this port, become
things of the past. Already have steamers
arrivetl at London from China. One brought
3,000 tons of tea, and made the trip in sixtyfive days; and another with a freight valued
at $150,000 and another made the trip in
sixty-two days, also richly freighted ; and
the same owners are building four more for
the same trade. And thus they progress.
The old Dramatic, the Black Ball, the
Black Star and other Liverpool lines from
this port, and the Havre and other Continental lines, so intimately connected with
our city's commerce and prosperity, have had
to yield to the merciless steamer. The historical frigate ships, the pride of the old British India Company—the Australian, the
:
Brazilian and
West
Indian packets—have
all in turn been driven off the course hy the
irrepressible new agent that links together
the most distant parts of the earth in her
iron band.
The Iron A (ft was a suggestive name for
the bark lately launched on the Delaware—
the first of her class ever built this side of
the Atlantic, and few will doubt its applicability when on one river—the Clyde—there
are now on the stocks, in various stages of
forwardness, 100 iron steamers, aggregating
100,000 tons, and that the last year's production for the same place amounted to no
less than 171,126 tons of iron steamers and
sailing vessels. X. Y. Com. Advertiser.

Naval.—The United States Hag-ship Mohirau. Admiral Turner, left for San Francisco op Wednesday, December 15, having
spent some six weeks in port. The visit of
the Admiral here has been one of observation
by order o\ his Government, and will be attended with good results, as it has given him
an opportunity to make a personal inspection
of the condition of American commerce and
interests at this port. We understand that
one result of his visit will be to devote more
attention to the groups of islands lying west
and south of us, and which come within his
field of inspection. This includes from the
North and South American shores as far us
Australia in the south-west and the Micronesian groups and Ladrones in the west, in
short the whole of what is termed Oceanica,—a portion of the Pacific seldom visited
by war vessels of any nation. The recent
outrages committed by natives of various
groups, as well as the revival of thecoolie or
slave trade in this ocean, has decided the
Admiral, with the sanction of his Government, to station a ship here, which shall be
held in readiness to visit any groups west or
south of us, wherever her presence may be
demanded. For this service the United
States ship (Jssi/m, Commodore Taylor
commanding, will be detailed, andarrive here
in the spring. The Commodore, who ranks
next to the Admiral, will be entrusted with
affairs in the central Pacific. The plan is
most certainly a judicious one, and must
tend to inspire greater respect for the American flag among the savage tribes which will
be visited by this and other naval ships.—

We liiul a very delightful gathering on Christmas

decorated by the skill of some of the young people.

A Christmas service, held in the foreign church,
very largely attended ; the eyes of all were feasted
by the artistic arrangement of evergreens and flnwers ; the music and singing were excellent. Our
new cabinet organ, the gift of friends at home, is a
very sweet toned instrument, and just what we want
in our church ; and the fair organist understands
how to present it, in its most acceptable strains.
Several short addresses made by the brethren were
much appreciated. But Mr. W. H. Reed elicited the

The Hiloites believe in the grace of giving. When
it is stated that there are but 18 members in the
church, you will see that the congregation must
have put their hands to this work in an unusual degree. The pews, 22 in number, rented this year for
$1500, 17 of them only being rented. They are,
however, all fully occupied on the Sabbath.

in
the idea of the vast change which has come
over the community during the last thirty <>r
forty years. The habits of the people have
entirely changed. Railroad travel has created a vast social as well as commercial revoliltion. Multitudes travel from the Kasi
to the West, the North to the South, who
would never have thought of going but a few
miles from home, unless it could be done by
railroad conveyance. The extremes of the
country are thus brought together. The effect will be good upon society. But the
amount of business done upon the railroads
is perfectly incredible to those who have not
examined the subject. Long trains of freight
cars are seen passing and repassing continually. Soon the people of New England
will be luxuriating upon the grapes and other
fruits of California.
What is most surprising, all this momentous change has been brought about during
the last forty years—a very short period,
comparatively, in the nation's and the world's
history. Our readers will peruse with interest the following paragraphs relating to
the progress of railroads. They are copied
from a late number of "Appleton's Journal."
The success of railway locomotion, however, dates from the Liverpool experiments
in October, 1829. The favorite plan for
drawing trains was by stationary engines,
and it was proposed to divide the railway between Liverpool and Manchester into nineteen stages, of about a mile and a half each,
with twenty-one engines, fixed at the different points, to work the trains forward. Not

George Stephenson, and spacious, churches of great architectural
beauty and finish are in process of erection,
while private residences are going up in all
parts of the newly made grounds and the
surrounding villages. It is estimated that at
least 40,000 of the merchants, professional
men and laborers leave the city every night
nnd return in the morning. This fact is
working a vast revolution in the society and
business community of Boston. The older
portions of the city are becoming more and
more devoted to stores and large storq-houses,
while the inhabitants are literally compelled
to seek residences in the surrounding country. The influence of this migration upon
the churches is most perceptible. Those in
the suburbs are thereby becoming large and
however, strongly advocated the locomotive
system, and it was at length decided to make
a trial of it. A prize of twenty-five hundred
dollars was offered for a locomotive, weighing no more than six tons, which would draw
twenty tons ten miles an hour with but fifty
pounds per inch pressure of stenm, and costing but two thousand seven hundred and
fifty dollars. The project and the conditions
were thought to be preposterous. An eminent gentleman of Liverpool, afterward inspector of steam-packets, said that only a
parcel of charlatans would ever have issued
such it set of conditions ; that it had been
proved to be impossible to make a locomotive engine go at ten miles an hour; but, if
it ever was done, lie would undertake to eat
a stewed engine-wheel for his breakfast!
Four engines were entered for the trial
The favorite was Captain Ericsson's " Novelty," which was light and compact in appearance, and had this intelligible quality
about it, that the air was forced through the
fire by means of bellows. The successful
engine was the " Rocket" of George Stephenson. At the first trial it ran twelve
miles in fifty-three minutes ; at the final test
it drew its load at the rate of twenty-nine
miles an hour, and, when running alone, it
reached thirty-live miles an hour. Mr. Smiles
says that " the entire performance excited
the greatest astonishment among the assembled spectators; the directors felt confident
that their enterprise was now on the eve of
success ; and Gcoree Stephenson rejoiced to
think that, in spite of all false prophets and
fickle counsellors, the locomotive system was
now safe. When the Rocket, having performed all the conditions of the contest, arrived at the ' grand stand ' at the close of the
day's successful run, Mr. Cropper—one of
the directors favorable to the fixed-engine
system—lifted up his hands and exclaimed,
' Now has George Stephenson at last delivered himself!' "
The Rocket was at length replaced by
heavier engines, and was sold in 1837, and
used for four or five years to haul coals.
There was, however, wonderful vitality in it,
and on one occasion, when employed to transmit the results of an election, it ran upward
of four miles in four minutes and a half. It
is now in the Kensington Museum of London.
BOSTON AND SUBURBS.
After an absence of seventeen years, it is
pleasant to revisit the far-famed Athens of
America, or the " Hub of the Universe."
Boston people are rather proud ofthese soubriquets. These are indicative of her importance and comparative standing among
tbe cities of the world. Boston is a growing
city. At present the desire appears to be to
embrace all the surrounding suburbs under
the one city charter. When this is accomplished, and Charlestown, Jamaica Plains,
Cambridge, Newton and other towns are annexed, Boston will have become no mean
city in territorial dimensions and the number of its inhabitants. While it is thus growing in size, it is also improving in appearance. The streets are now being widened,
public edifices are becoming more elegant
important, the same as are the churches of
Brooklyn, which are mostly composed of
persons doing business in New York city.
It is not uncommon for merchants to visit
Boston and New York during the business
part of ihe day, and return to their families
living twenty, thirty and even filty miles
away. This fact suggests a reference to the
railroads, which are now becoming so important an element in American life and
business. Everybody travels by railroads.
The cars are always crowded. Considering
the vast number traveling, the accidents are
very few.
If there is a propriety in calling Boston
the " Hub," then should railroads be styled
the spokes. They radiate in every direction.
To the beholder, on the State House or the
summit of Bunker Hill Monument, at all
hours, may be seen long railroad trains going
out and returning, while the beautiful harbor
is alive with shipping. We wonder writers
have not more frequently described the
beauty of the harbor of Boston, dotted with
small islands, and surrounded with growing
villages and towns. Last Monday morning,
while viewing Boston and suburbs from the
summit of Bunker Hill Monument, we really
thought that in all our travels, we never had
beheld any region more picturesque and
beautiful. It was at a season when the
country around is clothed in the richest verdure, and the fields are burdened with an
overflowing harvest. The busy hum of city
life rises on every side—all is animation and
labor. Connected with all this stir and bustle there are multitudes of happy homes.
We have been spending a day or two at
Captain Brewer's delightful residence at
Jamaica Plains. This town is one of several—Brookline, Roxbury, Newton, Dedham—all of which are made up of the most
charming suburban villas imaginable. A
drive among these homes and haunts impresses the mind most agreeably with the
thrift, industry, sobriety and intelligence °i
the inhabitants. There is an air of refine-
ment, culture and cheerfulness which indicate a degree of comfort and luxury, which
lias required h period of two hundred years
lo bring to the present degree of perfection.
The people of Boston and vicinity believe
in " granite." Stores, store-houses, public
edifices and even private dwellings are built
of this solid material, both hewn and rough.
All public works requiring durability and
strength are invariably constructed of granite. Last evening, returning from a pleasant
drive through Brookline, we visited the new
reservoirs which are in process of construction at enormous expense. Thousands of
laborers have been at work for two or three
years upon these public works. When they
are finished they will resemble in magnitude
the public works of the old Roman world.
With the increase of wealthand inhabitant-.
the minds ofthe leading and public spirited
men in the community are alive to the importance of improving the city in its external
appearance. It is gratifying to know that
with these indications of growth the interests of education and religion are not
neglected. At present much attention is paid
to the building of new, elegant and commodious school-houses. Some of the finest
buildings in Boston and suburbs are schoolhouses. These are called after public men—
Elliot, Prescott, Everett, Lincoln ; but from
what we can learn, the minds of the educators of the land are as yet too must asleep
to the importance of looking after the physical training of the young. There has doubtless been some improvement since a certain
writer in the "Atlantic Monthly " came out
with his views on the " Murder of the boocents." The public attention cannot be too
much nroused upon this subject. So long as
Boston takes the lead in educational matters,
and her public men are determined to push
forward the subject of primary education, it
is of immense importance that correct views
shall be put forth upon not only the mental
but physical training and education of the
young.
We have not as yet visited Cambridge and
her University, but reserve our visit to tha
ancient seat of learning situated among th
suburbs of Boston, until professors and stu
dents shall return from their summer vaca

visit.

THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1870.
Editor's Notes and Reflections while Passing
Along through the Old World.
Number 1,
"
I had a dream, which waa not all a dream."—Byron.
It Was a youthful dream of ours that we
might some time visit the Old World, but
the prospect of its realization appeared for a
long period quite improbable. Here we are,
however, in England, and have passed
through the very heart of the country and
the centre of London in coming to this place,
Buckhurst, near Wokingham, Berks. Before describing this beautiful spot, we shall
briefly refer to our journey by sea and land
in coming hither:
We had an exceedingly pleasant passage
on board tho Minnesota to Liverpool. Eleven
days were we in crossing the Atlantic, the
same we were on our passage from Honolulu
to San Francisco. Allowing eight days for
railroad travel from San Francisco to New
York, just thirty days were occupied on the
passage from Honolulu to London.
The tide being favorable, our steamer entered one of the commodious and substantial
docks of Liverpool on the 7th of November.
These docks are truly wonderful, extending
for miles along the city frontage, and afford
ample room for ships and steamers from all
parts of the world. We found the custom
house officers remarkably civil, and they allowed our trunks to pass unopened upon our
simple assertion that they contained no'articles of merchandise. Soon after landing we
found our way to the Washington Hotel, the
very name presenting some attractions for
us so recently from the land claiming him
as the Father of his country. We found the
accommodations good, and the house the
resort of many Americans.
Arriving upon the Sabbath, it was exceedingly pleasant to pass through quiet and orderly streets;—stores all closed, the noise
and'din of business hushed, and multitudes
apparently going and returning from church.
In the evening we attended service at the
Congregational Church, where the late Rev.
Dr. Raffles officiated for so many years,
whose fame is so widely extended among the
good of other lands. He died in 1863, having for fifty years preached the gospel in
Liverpool. A marble bust of his noble form
has been erected in the vestibule of the
church. We listened to an excellent sermon,
delivered by the Rev. Mr. Pearson, the pres.'ent pastor. Ho. spoke extemporaneously,
and conducted the service very much after
the style of Congregational worship in the
United States. It was the communion season of, the church, and it was exceedingly
pleasant for us on first landing in England
to mingle with Christians around the Table
of our Common Lord and Saviour, and sing
with them,
let us join our cheerful songs.
" Come
With angels round the throne," 4c.
Having but a single day to spend in Liverpool, we improved it for visiting tho Public Library and the Museum, both of which
were free to the public, and well worthy of
the attention of a visitor to the city. St.
George's Hall we found to be truly a noble
structure, and the audience room such as to
merit the remark that it was one of the very
best and largest in England. We also paid
our respects to R. C. Janion, the Hawaiian
Consul.
On the morning of November 9th we left
Liverpool at 7:20 in the rain, and passed
through the country at a rapid rate, reaching London a little after 12 o'clock. On our
arrival in this great city of three millions,
we immediately crossed over the Waterloo
Bridge to the railroad station, from which we
started for Buckhurst, situated about thirty
miles west of the city. Here we received a
cordial welcome from our fellow-residents at
Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Waterhousp, with
whom we had been fellow-travelers; across
the American Continent on the Pacific Railroad. We found him living in'quite the
style of an English gentleman of'the olden
time. The mansion is surrounded by grounds
handsomely laid out, with a beautiful lawn
stretching out in front, and surrounded by an
extensive park, where he is occasionally to
be seen with his fowling-piece cautiously
pursuing the hare and the pheasant, and frequently rewarded in a manner to rejoice a
huntsman's pride. Buckhurst is situated
about ten miles from Windsor Castle, and
this region we were informed is considered
the very garden of England. It is indeed a
beautiful spot.
OUR FIRST WEEK IN ENGLAND.
Caisar'x Camp,—We really commenced
our sight-seeing in England at a remarkable
spot, where tradition reports Julius Caesar
once encamped with his Roman army. It is
situated about four or five miles from Buckhurst. We were accompanied thither by
Mr. and Mrs. Waterhouse and Judge Austin. We found the line of entrenchment
much more clearly defined than we anticipated. The camp must have been a mile in
length and a half mile in width, on an uneven ground. At present it is covered with
a growth of pines, but there is no difficulty
in tracing the outline of the camp. In some
places the ditch is fifteen or twenty feet deep.
This is only one of the many remains of
Roman attempts to conquer England during
the century prior to the Christian era.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE GEORGE PEAIIODY.
We came to London on the morning of
the 12th of November to attend the funeral
of Mr. Peabody in Westminster Abbey. Perhaps there is no edifice in England which an
American desires so much to visit as this ancient Abbey, around which cluster so many
historic associations, and where repose so
many of England's illustrious dead. It
awakened feelings of a peculiar nature, that
our first visit to that time-renowned structure
should be to pay the last tribute of respect to
an American citizen born in our native State.
It was difficult to realize the simple fact that
the remains of a fellow-citizen from America
were to be borne thither with all the solemn
pomp and ceremony with which royalty and
the Established Church could invest the occasion.
Having received complimentary tickets of
admission, we were present in season to witness the procession as it entered and passed
around the interior of the Abbey. Our readers will have seen full newspaper reports of
this day's proceedings long before these paragraphs will have reached Honolulu, hence
our notice will be brief.
The charts and singing were performed in
cathedral style, and all the gorgeous ceremonials were in harmony with the place, the
edifice and the occasion. With much solemnity the coffin was lowered inio tho
" narrow cell," around" which were gathered
many of the nobility of England. We noticed the Prime Minister, Mr. Gladstone,
standing beside our American Minister, Mr.
Motley. The vast concourse observed the
most profound silence, and manifested the
deepest interest while the solemn scene was
being enacted. On the Sabbath following
this funeral ceremony, sermons were preached
in many'of the London pulpits, referring to
the death of Mr. Peabody. We should have
attended at the Abbey, where the Bishop of
London preached a sermon with reference
to him, had we not seen it announced
that the Rev. Newman Hall would preach
upon the same theme at St. James' Hall.
We availed ourself of the privilege of being
present at that place of gathering. The Hall
is estimated to hold 3,500, and we can testify
that the larse edifice was filled to its utmost
capacity. The sermon of Mr. Hall was worthy of the subject and the occasion. In it
the preacher sustained his reputation as one
of the most eloquent pulpit orators of London.
The Queen, the Government and people,
of England have appeared to vie with each
other in bestowing respect to the memory of
Mr. Peabody. His name has become a
household word among all classes, both rich
and poor. This is the more surprising, as
Mr. Peabody was simply an American citizen, without titles, and never having sought
political or literary preferment. He is most
frequently spoken of as the American philanthropist, a most truly honored title. When
his remains shall have been borne across the
Atlantic on board a British vessel of war,
�THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY,
convoyed by several national American vessels, all will have been done that two great
nations could unitedly have done to honor a
rich man who gave away his wealth for the
benefit of the poor while he was living.
VISIT TO THE POET'S CORNER.
The most sacred and consecrated spot in
Westminster Abbey is that of the " Poet's
Comer," where are monuments and inscriptions to the poets of England. A writer in
the London Time", giving an account of the
funeral of Mr. Pafbody, remarked: "The
mourners having withdrawn into the Jerusalem chamber, preparatory to rejoining their
carriages, the rest of the congregation were
admitted to see the coffin, and the largf
crowd dispersed, but very gradually, the
Americans present, being apparently anxious
to avail themselves of the opportunity to
gaze leisurely at the monuments in the nave
and the transepts of the Abbey."
We were among the Americans referred
to in this paragraph, and can truly say our
desire was intense to gaze upon the tomb of
Shakespeare, Milton, and the other illustrious poets, whose writings have become the
common inheritance of all English speaking
and reading Anglo-Saxons throughout the
world. We shall not soon forget the kind
attentions of Mr. H. I. Cutmur, of the Morning Pout, through whose kindly offices we
gained admittance to the " Poet's Corner,"
even after the janitor had locked the door.
Although our time was limited, yet we had
a good opportunity for reading many of the
inscriptions, and, if possible, we hope to revisit this spot before finally quitting the
shores of England, when we shall furnish
our readers with a more detailed account.
REMARKABLE CHURCHES AND HISTORICAL PLACES
OF LONDON.
Perhaps there is no city in the w;orld
where an American finds more to interest
him than in this great metropolis. Already
have we visited St. Paul's, the glory of England, as St. Peter's is the glory of Rome.
The dome of St. Paul's is truly magnificent.
We hope to find timefor a visit to the church
of Henry Vllth, reported to be the finest
specimen of church architecture in England.
While some churches- are thus renowned,
others certainly are far behind what we had
expected. The Rev. Dr. Cummings, in
" Crown Court," preaches in a church edifice
which needs a most thorough rebuilding.
The seats are most uncomfortable; backs
without any inclination, pews narrow, and
aisles most inconvenient. Surely a preacher
of such celebrity deserves a better building
when he preaches to one of the most intelli-1 gent and aristocratic audiences gathered in
London.
The Tower and the British Museum are
places where the visitor may spend days,

weeks and months studying the history of
England and the world. Only think of being
conducted over the Tower by a guide dressed
in the style of a man of Henry Vlllth'stime,
and of visiting the room where Sir Walter
Raleigh was imprisoned ! seeing the mailclad armor worn by the warriors of successive
reigns of the kings of England five hundred
years ago ! gazing upon the crown jewels of
the British Empire ! taking in your hand the
thumb-screws which caused some poor prisoner to cry out in the anguish of his soul!
laying your head upon the block where Mary
Queen of Scots was beheaded ! and of wandering through a tower built by William the
Conqueror in the eleventh century, or eight
hundred years ago.
The British Museum is the place of all
others in London for the man of science, literature and history. "Of books there is no
end ; of specimens of natural history there
is enough, one would suppose, to satisfy an
Agassiz. Of autographs, some remarkable
specimens, including those of Shakespeare,
Milton, Pope, Byron, and all the kings and
queens of England for a thousand years.
Then, too, there is the original copy of the
Masriia Charta. There we saw Milton's
watch, whose dial he watched while he wrote
of the Fall of Angels, before all time ! The
collection of Egyptian relics and curiosities
is very remarkable. That of Grecian and
Roman equally so, but those of Nineveh, collected by Layard, surpass all. We have read
his books, and heard much about the discoveries of Nineveh, but in the language of the
Queen of Sheba, we must exclaim, "the half
was not told me."
"
Heroic Consuls.
The following interesting and exciting
narrative is extracted from the Jamaica
tiiiardian, to which it was furnished by a
correspondent who recently escaped from Santiago dc Cuba, where he was persecuted by
the Spanish volunteers in consequence of
being suspected as " a Cuban sympathizer."
Mr. Ramsden, the Consul, being wellknown and greatly respected in Kingston,
the subject has been one of general conversation, while his heroic conduct has called forth
expressions of universal admiration. The
narrative runs thus:
A poor unfortunate seaman had been apprehended on a charge of being implicated
in n filibustering expedition, and he was
thrust in;o prison, and afterwards condemned
to be shot, on evidence as unlikely and improbable as any one could conceive. He was
an American, tbe son of English parents,
and notwithstanding the strenuous efforts on
the part of the English and American Consuls, the Spanish authorities seemed determined to sacrifice this poor man's life. On
the morning appointed for his execution he
was marched out to the usual place, amidst
a great show of bloody solemnity. He was
immediately followed by Mr. Ramsden, Brit-
ish Vice Consul, and the American Vice
Consul, to make a still further protest in the
prisoner's favor.
Mr. Ramsden read the document, protesting in the name of England and America,
declaring that the prisoner was altogether
innocent of the charge which had been laid
against him, demanding his immediate release, and declaring if the unfortunate man s
life was taken, those who took it would be
guilty of murder, and would be alike answerable to the governments of England and
the United States of America. During tho
reading of this document, which was done
with calmness and determination, the prisoner fainted from excitement, nnd there were
strong signs of impatience on the part of the
Spanish troops, who manifested a thorough
determination to force the authorities to take
this man's life in spite of all remonstrance.
A consultation followed, and Mr. Ramsden
and the American Consul were eventually
informed that their remonstrance came too
late; the prisoner had already been sentenced
to death for having taken up arms against
Spain, and that the sentence must be carried
into effect. With this the order was given
to the firing party to " present." It was the
work of an instant, and Mr. Consul Ramsden
and the American Consul, rushing with the.
flags of their respective nations before the
leveled rifles of the Spanish troops, and
in front of the unfortunate man, shouted
"Hold!" And, throwing the English flag
around himself and the prisoner, and addressing the officer in charge of the firing party,
said, " Gentlemen, as a Consul of Her Britannic Majesty, I can not stand silently by
nnd see this foul murder of an innocent man.
It is my duty to protect his life, and if you
lake his, you must take it through these !
placing himself immediately in front of the
condemned seaman, his eyes sparkling, while
his manly form heaved with the indignation
his speech had so heroically expressed.
The American Consul, wrapped in the
and Stripes " of the Union, stood

"
abreast, and for some moments the Spaniards
stobd aghast, the conduct of these two Consuls being more than they could comprehend.
The emotion of the prisoner was extreme ;
he was supported, right and left, by the Consuls, and the poor fellow shed a profusion of
tears from weariness and excitement. A
consultation was again held, and the prisoner marched back to jail under an escort of
troops, the Consuls supporting the unfortunate man all the way along. The furore was
beyond description. After dark the prisoner
was reprieved, and finally shipped off the
country through the indefatigable exertions
of the Consuls. London Jit raid.

Richard Weaver ofLondon, thefamous
lay preacher to the poor, is becoming almost
■as famous in England as Whitfield was a 130
years ago. He lately made a preaching tour
in the country, and preached, among other
places, at Ascot, where people came from all
the surrounding country to hear him, some
coming 16 and 20 miles. " The whole congregation listened with great attention, many
standing with streaming eyes, as he spoke of
what he himself had witnessed of the power
of the Gospel." Invitations crowded upon
him far beyond his power to accept.

What war is there that has nothing to depress? nothing to animate? and that does
not furnish a diversity of feelings in those
who carry it on ? Christians resemble the
followers of Gideon, and subduers of the
Amalekites—faint, yet pursuing.—Judges
7:4. Yes, while engaged in the good fight
of afaith, they may be faint. We need not
wonder at this, if we consider the enemies
they have to vanquish—bodily appetites;
filthiness of spirit; a depraved nature ; all
sin and error ; the present evil world; the
devil and his angels. If we also consider
the qualities of their adversaries—their number—their malignity—their power—their
policy—their success for they have cast
down many mighty ; yea, many strong men
have been slain by them—oh ! when we
think of the heroes, the statesmen, the princes,
the philosophers, the divines—and all the
myriads they have enslaved and destroyed,
who is not ready to tremble, and exclaim,

to receive any proposals of peace. We can-

not enter into a truee—no, not even to buy
the dead. Let the dead bury their dead.
We are to fight on through summer and
winter—by day and night—in every situation and condition. He that endureth to the
end, the same only shall be saved. In conversion we throw away the scabbard ; in
death only we lay down the sword. While
we are here, something is still to be done,
something still to be avoided—in company—
in solitude—in health—in sickness. And is
it nothing to watch in nil things ! To pray
without ceasing! In everything to give
ihnnks ! To be always abounding in the
work of the Lord !
There are also occasional difficulties too
common to be overlooked ; and it is easy to
suppose a few of them. What marvel if the
Mildicr is faint, when the road is rough and
thorny, and the weather is warm and op-
pressive, and he hungers and thirsts for want
of seasonable refreshments and supplies,
which are interrupted, if not cut off, and he
feels a loss of strength, occasioned by a
wound from without, or an indisposition
from within. Is this talking parables ? There
is not a Christian on earth whose religious
experience will not easily explain it all. And
if this, therefore, be m_f experience, let me
remember that there is nothing ominous, nor
even peculiar, in it. Every subject of divine
grace is well acquainted with this heart's
bitterness, and must be, or much of the
Scripture could not be applied to him, cilher

And let
me be thankful that to will is present with

Faint, yet pursuing. The life and experience of the Christian are full of contrasts;
he resembles the bush of Moses, which was
seen burning, but not consumed ; and his
language is, Cast down, but not destroyed;
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as dying,
and, behold, we live. We nre now viewing
him as a soldier; looked at him faint; but
now find him amidst all that is grievous, feeling no disposition to give in,'or give up—

ocean has been made the highway of nations, the land is girt with a network of railroads, and civilization is carried to the ends
of the earth. Electricity, though discovered
by Thales 600 years before Christ, has only
recently been compelled to give forth its
power and subtlety for the benefit of man ;
but as science is yet ignorant of this agent,
it has been unable to apply it to machinery.
With geology, zoology and many other
sciences deep sen explorations have an intimate connection, as well as upon navigation
and submarine telegraphy. The lead and
line was the earliest device for deep sea
sounding, and it is still In use. The crude*
ness of the contrivance has, however, led to
the popular error of a " bottomless ocean."
and to many mistakes—sometimes fatal
ones—in making soundings.
The success which has attended the laying of submarine cables has set the erroneous
idea of an ocean without bottom at rest fori-ver, and given an impulse to the effort to
invent new means of sounding and dredging.
The soundings made in the Atlantic show
its bottom to be an extensive plateau, varying in depth at different points. The average depth is 15,000 feet, though the steamer
(
ydops obtained a depth of 15,000 feet.
This ocean floor begins about 150 miles from
the Irish coast; the descent from shallow to
deep water is very rapid, reaching 10,500
feet in fifty miles, giving an angle of descent
greater than that of the Italian Alps. The
deepest part of the Atlantic is on the American side, near the banks of Newfoundland,
where a great basin exists ranging east and
west for nearly a thousand miles, and whose
depth is believed to exceed the highest of the
Himalaya mountains. It has also been recently proved that a ship can be held in one
place and soundings made, even when the
weather is comparatively rough. America
has been the pioneer in inventing deep sea
sounding apparatus, and her inventions are
as much used in the British navy as her
own. Here the lecturer described the latest
instruments that have been invented for deep
sea sounding, and after tracing the rise of
dredging with Sir John Ross' efforts in Baffin's Bay in 1818, he followed Hoskyn, Berryman and Tayman in their submarine explorations, gave many interesting facts, such
as that of the bottom of the ocean teeming
with animal life, some of them of a very high
type, and concluded by showing what a vast
flood of light is thrown upon practical science by deep sea sounding and dredging apparatus.—JVete York Herald.

How needful when the vessel is uncontrollable through calms or light winds, and
a strong current is setting in the way of
danger, to have power to repel opposition.
As an instance of the force of the currents in
Micronesia, we might here state that we have
seen a piece of carved wood which was lost
at the wreck of the late Morn ing Star, and
picked up a month afterwards on the island
of Namerick, having been carried during
that period a distance of about 310 miles to
the eastward, and that too against the trade
winds which usually prevail. This happened
between 5 ° and 6 ° north latitude ; while
south of 3 ° north latitude, the current runs
strong (at times) in the opposite direction, as
the following fact proves. Some years ago
a ship was wrecked on Baker's Island, whose
gangway steps were picked up on the island
of Apaiang about six weeks after the loss,
having drifted nearly 600 miles to the westward.
The fact that the English Missionary Society have had vessels wrecked within the
past few years among the islands of the South
Pacific, is additional testimony in favor of
the need of steam power.

THE FRIEND, MARCH. 1870.
The settled principle of the leading
of America is this, that the people must
be educated, in order to maintain the liberty
and privileges of the Republic. Religion and
education are corner-stones of the Republic
of America. Religion must be supported by
the i;o{triit'tn/ efforts of the people, while the
State must educate the people, in co-operation with private enterprise. Wherever we
travel in the old State of Massachusetts, we
find new, commodious and handsome common school houses. The whole people seem
to be alive to the subject of education. From
the window where we are now sitting in
Summer street, Worcester, we hear and see
the sound of hundreds of school boys and
cirls connected with one of the public schools
of the city. It is pleasant lo listen to their
morning and evening devotional exercises,
but particularly their "songs of praise."

last of the mohegans.
Fennimore Cooper astonished the literary
world some years ago by his historical romance, entitled, the "Lastof the Moheguns."
That book has passed into the list of the
classical romances of America. It hits been
perused extensively not only by English
readers throughout the world, but has been
translated into most of the modern languages
of Europe. The Mohegans of romance may
delight by their daring bravery and wonderful powers of Indian endurance, but after all
Cooper's work is essentially fictitious, although founded upon the leading facts of
history. Only a few rods from the spot
where 1 am now writing stands a monument
to UnCOS, so famous both in real history and
romance. The foundation-stone of the present monument was laid by General Jackson,
late President of the United States. On the
original monumental slab there was a poetic
inscription, concluding thus :
ers, who should labor among them. In 1851
we visited the settlement in company with
this gentleman, and yesterday, Sept. 26th,
that privilege we again enjoyed.
The following facts relating to the " Last
of the Mohegans " we obtained from the
Key. C. F. Muzzy, who is now pastor of the
Mohegan Church. The Mohegan land
reservation is located about five or six miles
south of the city of Norwich, and embraces
2,500 acres. This is held by the United
Suites Government, and cannot be alienated
without authority from the Government at
Washington. In addition, the Government
appropriates the sum of $450 for the purpose
of providing for the moral and religious instruction of the people. The Rev. Mr. Muzzy
was formerly a missionary of the American
Board at Madjura, India, but was compelled

During our visit we learned that there
was living in the settlement a great granddaughter of the Rev. Sansom Occum, whose
name has become quite historical in the
annals ofthe missionary and religious movements of the last century. He preached not
only in America, but quite extensively in
England, and once by special invitation before King George Hid. We have somewhere met with the statement that he

relaxation and recreation from labor and toil

As the closing and remarkable event of
the County Fair at Norwich, there was a
balloon ascension, which is well described in
the following paragraphs from the Norwich
Daily Bulletin of September 25th, (and it
was our privilege to witness the ascension):
" James Allen, the aeronaut, was on hand
with his balloon at eleven o'clock, and it was
taken to the centre of the ground. Pleasantly remarking that James Allen was no
humbug, (which he isn't), at a few minutes
liefore twelve he stepped into Ihe car with his
son, gracefully bid the crowd adieu, and
sailed upward in the Empyrean.' At the
altitude of about 1,500 feet he detached a
parachute to which was attached a kitten,
which found its way to earth just outside
the enclosure without injury. The air ship
then sailed toward the city, and then meeting a north-easterly current, settled and
floated off to the southward and westward.
The intrepid navigator discharged some of
his ballast, and the balloon again rose and
started towards the city, watched by an interested crowd at the grounds until it rose
above the clouds and was lost to view. It
then slowly descended over the cove, was
again lightened, and finally descended on the
farm of Peter Laninan at Norwich Town,
after a voyage of about an hour and a halt.
Daniel S. Guile followed the balloon, and
brought it in good order with the aeronaut to
this city. W. A. Hurlburt, Thomas Dawson
and O. P. WattlesTendered Prof. Allen considerable service in landing. Mr. Allen, who
is the same gentleman who made an ascension at a fair of the New London County
Society September 30, 1659, has made over
two hundred ascensions, having been employed by the United States Government to
reconnoitre for the army of the James, and
afterwards by the Brazilian Government during the siege of Humaita, Paraguay. He
has never met with a serious accident, and
is one of the most accomplished aeronauts in
the world. His ascension to-day was exceedingly beautiful, and was a treat not only
to those on the ground, but to nearly everybody in this vicinity."

look upon Greenwich Observatory as one of
the most remarkable places on our globe. O
with what wonderful accuracy observations
are now taken ! With intense delight we
listened to Mr. Stone's explanations of the
method employed to note down the passage
of a star as it passed the transit instrument.
We witnessed the method as three or four of
his young assistants observed the sun's passage across the meridian line. Then, too,
how wonderful the system of noting down
the observations by means of electro-magnetic
agency!
Mr. Stone referred to his observations and
experiments for the purpose of determining
whether heat is imparted to our globe from
the fixed stars. He expressed the opinion
that such was the case. We have seen in
some recent scientific publication the same
fact stated by some eminent astronomer.
The idea at the first glance appears incredible, but yet we are assured that the fact can
be demonstrated by actual experiment. This
is truly wonderful.
We noticed with interest the various
methods and contrivances for noting the
rapidity with which' wind travels, and also
the method of registering thermomctrical and
barometrical observations. Electro-magnetism appears to be brought to play an important part in enabling the astronomer and
philosopher to carry forward his experiments.
Near the door leading into the Observatory
is a large magnetic clock, which measures
off timewith most wonderful accuracy. With
this clock is connected a system of magnetic
wires, extending into London, and from
thence with all the cities and sea-ports of
England and Scotland. Thus the time of
England is regulated by the Observatory, on
the top of which there is a contrivance by
which said magnetic clock elevates a large
ball on a pole about ten feet high. This ball
is some three feet in diameter, painted black.
By means of a galvanic current, this'ball is
elevated and let fall at precisely one o'clock
each day. We learned that this method was
adopted for the purpose of giving information
to shipmasters sailing down the Thames on
their outward bound voyages. They could
thus at the very last moment before leaving
the shores of England ascertain Greenwich
time.
Many puzzle themselves about the
origin of moral evil. It is enough for us to
know that there is evil, and that there is a
wav to escape it. The gospel of Christ
makes known that way.
There is one single fact which one
may oppose to all the wit and argument of
infidelity—namely, that no man ever repented being a Christian on his death-bed.
Extracts from the Report of Rev. J. F.
Pogue, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board
of Missions to Micronesia in 1869.
It has been my privilege, as well as duty,
made so by a vote of the Hawaiian Board of
Missions, to visit their Missions in the three
groups of islands, viz : the Gilbert, or King's
Mill, the Marshall, and the Caroline, of Micronesia. To carry out the designs of the
Hawaiian Board, the brig Morning Star,
Capt. Tengstrom, left Honolulu on the Bth
of July, 1869, having on board the largest reinforcement of Hawaiian missionaries which
has been sent to those Missions. Our voyage
to the Gilbert Group was a quick and prosperous one. There are 15 islands in this
group, 8 of which are north, and 7 south of
the line ; supposed to have a population of
30,000. The Hawaiian Board have occupied
four of these, with a population, as taken by
our missionaries, of 15,000. These are Tapiteuea, or Drummond's Island, en the south
of the line ; Tarawa, Apaiang and Butaritari on the north. The first island at which
we were to stop was
Tapiteuea.
We made that place on the 27th of July,
19 days from Honolulu. Here, at the request of the Hawaiian Board, I will intro-
duce some extracts from the report of the
Rev. H. Bingham. Jr., Delegate of the Hawaiian Board to the Gilbert islands in 1868 :
The general meeting of the Gilbert Island
"Mission
was organized on the 3d of August,
1868. # * * In accordance with the.suggestion of the Hawaiian Board, they decided
to take a new station upon Tapiteuea.
* * *
You will remember the account of our visit
at that island last year (1867), and the wide
door which we found open to us there. Last
year we landed on the north end, and as our
time was limited, we only went up the island
some two miles. Upon our recent visit we
explored some eight miles farther south, and
determined to locate the Mission more centrally than could have been possible had we
yielded to the earnest wish of the inhabitants
of the north end that we should land our missionary brethren and their families with
them. * * * The station was located in the
newly explored part, though the people at
the north felt that they had a special claim,
as they had been first asked if they would
receive missionaries." Missionary Herald
for April, 1869, page 131.
On our arrival at Tapiteuea we found the
Mission families well, and prosecuting their
work with energy and a good degree of success. The island is 30 miles long, and lies
in a N. W. and S. E. direction, with 15 large
towns, and a population of6,200, as taken by
the missionaries, the Rev. Messrs. Kapu and
Leleo. There are 12 immense houses on
the island, used for general purposes ol consultation, dancing, feasting, &c. These are
now used as places of worship. Mr. Bingham says in his report, " There is no one
king of the. whole island, but each district
seems to be governed by its more important
elderly men or land-holders." The people
are degraded, debased, shameless. Men,
boys and girls go about perfectly naked, while
the women wear a pa-u around their loins.
Our missionaries had occupied the field 10
—
21
months when we arrived. The people have
outwardly forsaken their ancient worship ;
abolished their taboos ; given up the hula, a
licentious dance, and become teetotalers j the
schools are crowded ; the congregations large.
On the 13th of September, 1868, a few of
the people began to cast away those things
which were esteemed sacred. On the 11th
of October of the same year Kapu preached
on the character of the true God, and of the
sin of worshiping other things called gods.
At that meeting some old men proposed to
cast away these vanities. Many consented
to do so ; others opposed. One old man said
to Kapu, " The gods will take vengeance on
you ; they are angry ; you will die." This
man has since cast away the sacred things
in which he trusted, and is now numbered
with the reformers. Mr. Kapu told them to
consider well what they were about to do.
If they really thought that these things, in
which they had so long trusted, were vanities—powerless to help or punish, then cast
them away; but if they still feared them,
then continue to do as they had done, and
brave the fury of Jehovah, who has said,
" Thou shalt have no other gods besides me."
During the next week, from the 11th to
the 18th of October, 320 of these sacred
things, such as stones, branches of trees, besmeared with oil, trees, fish, birds, &c., were
destroyed, and the majority of the people became outwardly the worshipers of Jehovah.
They deliberately chose Him as their God.
One of the things regarded with much
superstition was a large mamani tree near
to the houses of the Mission. By measure,
I found this tree to be 35 feet in circumference at about one foot above the ground.
This tree was taboo. No one was permitted
to pass or sit under its shade. To it they
carried offerings of cocoanuts, fish, hala fruit,
Sec.
January Ist, 1869, three thousand per-
sons, old and young, male and female, met
under, around and upon this tree to keep, as
the missionary expressed it, their first happy
new year. An examination of the schools
was held at that time. Sixty persons recited
the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer,
read in the books prepared for them, and sang
some of the songs of Zion as translated by
Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. This tree has since
been given to Mr. Kapu. He has purchased
one-half of the land upon which it stand?,
and hopes to be able to obtain the other half.
Two tours have been made by the missionaries around the island. In these tours they
have been followed by multitudes from place
to place as they preached the Gospel in all
the large towns. One hundred and fifty can
read fluently in the Gospels, Acts and Ephesians, besides a great number who can read
and spell in the spelling-book.
July 30th, 1869, we attended an examination of schools in one of the large council
houses. Our hearts went out in thanksgiving to God for what our eyes saw, and ears
heard. The pupils of the different school.'-',
of which there are three, read very well.
150 men, boys, women and girls recited the
Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and
answered questions from the Catechism.
They also sung several hymns. The missionaries, with their patrons, have great reason to thank God for the past, and take courage for time to come. A good beginning has
been made. May the Lord give to our

MBKTING OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF MISSIONS.
Last month (September) it was our privilege to attend the centennial anniversary of
the birth of Humboldt. We have already
reported for the columns of the Friend au
account of that remarkable meeting. Such
a large gathering of philosophers, authors,
poets, orators and learned men and women
is seldom to be witnessed in any part
of the world. There was one feature of the
celebration which was very peculiar—the
Orator of the Day, as well as several other
speakers, endeavored to prove that Humboldt was a believer in Divine revelation, or
rather that he was not an atheist. Three
thousand years ago, the inspired Psalmist
observed, " The fool hath said in his hearty
there is no God." It was a somewhat remarkable fact that a learned assembly should
be called upon to listen to a course of reasoning and argument to prove that the most
learned man in natural science of all modern
times was not an at/ieist. This fact often
comes to mind, and suggests thoughts for
serious reflection.
A month has passed away, and it has
fallen to our lot to attend anotherremarkable
gathering. This occurred at Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. It was the Sixtieth Anniversary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. For sixty
years these annual meetings have been held
in various parts of the country, and never
fail to bring together a very large gathering
of the friends of Foreign Missions from
among both the laity and clergy. The records
ofthese meetings will show that some of the
most distinguished men, in both Church and
State, are present on these occasions. One
thing was manifest throughout all the meetings no doubts were entertained by any of
the speakers or hearers respecting the exist-

Mr. Barnes, " is as essentially the grand idea
of the Old Testament, as the wrath of
Achilles is that of the Iliad, or the anger of
Juno that of the „Encad, or the fall of Satan
that of Paradise Lost." Most conclusively
did the preacher make apparent that Jesu
of Nazareth filled out in his life, character
and death this grand idea of the Messiah of
the Old Testament. This idea included that
of a sttffcrina Saviour. He dwelt upon the
difficulty of bringing out this peculiarity, but
even in this point, our Blessed Saviour failed
not to fulfill his all-important mission.
Suppose, remarked Mr. Barnes, during a
period of a thousand years, the historians,
poets, orators and divines of France had predicted that in the eighteenth century there
should arise a remarkable personage, who
should be born in Corsica, and at length rise
to the dignity of Emperor, ruling the destinies of Europe, and should finally die on a
small island in the South Atlantic Ocean,
how difficult it would have been for Napoleon to have filled up this outline! Yet
Christ started in life with the set purpose o
filling up the outline of the Messiah as dc
picted by the historians, poets and prophets
of the Old Testament. He concluded with
the offer of salvation as made known by such
a Saviour as our Lord Jesus Christ. It was
indeed a rare privilege to listen to such a
discourse, delivered by one who has written
the most popular commentaries on the whole
of the New Testament and parts of the Old.
The Rev. Mr. Johnson has become Mr.
Barnes' successor, and he is well spoken of
by the church-going people of Philadelphia.
On the afternoon of the same Sabbath, it
was our privilege to hear the Rev. Dr. Newton preach to a large congregation of children in the Church of the Epiphany. This
is the church formerly presided over by the
Rev. Dr. Tyng, and afterwards by his son,
whose lamented death, some years ago,
caused such a wave of sorrow to pass over
the American Zion. He was the author of
the saying, " Stand up for Jesus."
The Rev. Dr. Newton is regarded as the
most successful and popular preacher to children in the United States. His sermons are
published in the Sunday School World,
issued by the American Sunday School
Union. For months he has been addressing
the young on ■ the wonders in the Bible ;
"
but on the occasion when it was our privilege
to hear him, he commenced a series of
monthly sermons to children on the won" He seders of God outside of the Bible."
lected for his text the words of David, "All
thy works praise thee." In order to illustrate the truth, Dr. Newton exhibited an instrument showing the revolutions of the different bodies belonging to the solar system,
and even held up a music box," the spring
"
�TH
of which was broken. This was something
we never expected to witness in an Episcopal
church on a Sunday afternoon. But wherein
was the harm of so doing, provided the truth
was thereby impressed upon the minds of
the young!
During the evening of the same Sabbath,
we were present at an interesting meeting
held at the new Eastburn Seamen's Chapel.
Just fifty years ago—17th ot October, 1819—
the Rev. Mr. Eastburn preached his first sermon to seamen in Philadelphia. For many
years he continued his useful labors among
them, and when he died, left several thousand dollars as a fund for the support of
preaching among the seafaring community.
The friends of seamen have just erected a
newchapel and lecture-room,costing $32,000,
and only some three thousand dollars remain
unpaid. This chapel is under the patronage
of the Presbyterians. The Baptists and Methodists have also seamen's chapels in the city.
The Rev. Dr. Emerson was installed Chaplain and Pastor on this evening. It fell to
our lot to give the " charge to the people.
Although called upon quite unexpectedly to
address the audience, yet we were much assisted in " charging " the people of that congregation from our recollection of the manner in which the Bethel Church and congregation of Honolulu have been accustomed to
assist their Chaplain and Pastor.
During our sojourn in Philadelphia we
enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. C. Burnham,
who formerly resided at the Hawaiian Islands.
Foreign residents, twenty-five years ago, will
remember him as the manager of the Koloa
Plantation. He retains the most pleasing
recollections of his residence on Oahu, Kauai
and Maui. This same fact we have found
true with regard to former residents on the
islands, in whatever part of the country we
have fallen in with them. Wherever we
travel we meet those who are in some way
interested in the islands. Some have resided
there, and inquire for their old friends and
neighbors, while others who have never visited the islands, still have friends living
there. Many are the links of that chain
binding the Hawaiian islands to the United
States.
During our stay in Philadelphia we visited League Island, the site of the new Navy
Yard. It is situated at the point where the
rivers Delaware and Schuylkill unite their
waters. There we found quietly moored
eighteen of the fifty monitors and vessels of
war forming the iron-clad fleet of the United
States. Among them was the famous Puritan, in an unfinished condition, but which
when completed, will form oue of the most
formidable war ships in the world.
It was our privilege also to visit the new
Fairmount Park, which is destined to become
I
"
_
27
FRIEND. APRIL, 1870.
one of the most beautiful pleasure grounds
in America. It contains two thousand acres
of land, well diversified by hill and vale,
woodland and lawn, besides having this additional charm—the Schuylkill meandering
through it. Bostonians may be justly proud
of the suburbs of their city, including Roxbury, Brooklync, Newton, and many other
beautiful towns ; New Yorkers may be proud
of Central Park, with its enchanting vistas,
avenues, glens, ponds, cascades, grottoes, and
all the appliances which wealth can call into
existence, when expended by the artist and
gardener; but the Philadelphians will have
Fairmount Park, which will fully equal anything in America, because nature and art
are so wonderfully combined. It seems fitting
that this city should have such an outlet for
its densely peopled streets, where the inhabitants may go forth and enjoy the country.
This city is admirably supplied with institutions, where the blind, sick and unfortunate are amply provided for. Its public libraries arc capacious. Here, too, is the oldest
mint of the United States. The collection
of coins on exhibition in this establishment is
probably more extensive than anywhere else
on the American Continent. There we saw
specimens of coins of all nations, both ancient and modern. Among them were some
as old as the days of Alexander the Great,
and numerous belonging to the Roman Empire, prior to the Christian Era ; but not one
among the hundreds of gold and silver pieces
which we there beheld was comparable in
interest with the old Hebrew cein, similar to
that which the poor widow cast in the treasury of the Lord. Yes, there was the widow's
" two mites," which make a farthing !
We must not omit to mention the fact that
we heard Miss Anna E. Dickinson deliver
her famous lecture, entitled, " Whited Sepulchres," wherein she gave an account of her
visit to Salt Lake, and her impressions of
the abominable system of polygamy as practiced by the Mormons. She spoke in the
Academy of Music, addressing an audience
of nearly 3,000. Her lecture was the first of
the " star course," for the season. She is to
be followed by Senator Sumner, " Mark
Twain," and other noted lecturers. That of
" Mark Twain's " will be upon Hawaii and
Hawaiians.
Having heard and read so much respecting Miss Dickinson as a lecturer and speaker,
we felt very desirous of hearing her on this
occasion. She is the first female orator we
have ever heard. The secret of her power
over an audience appears to consist in her
sympathy and approval of but few in the
large audience, still for one hour and a half
she held that assembly spell-bound by her
fascinating eloquence. As a speaker, she
possesses rare gifts, else how could she attract such crowds wherever and whenever it
is announced that she will speak? Philadelphia is her native city. She was reared
among the Society of Friends, and hence
perhaps inherited the gift of public speaking.
She belongs to that party in America which
advocates the idea that woman is held in
vassalage, and should be elevated and have
the same rights secured to her which are
now acknowledged as belonging to the
male sex. Public sentiment appears to be
drifting in that direction, but we are not inclined to think that woman's lot will be improved by the " ballot," or by placing her in
the front of the battle of life. We think that
she has a higher, nobler and holier mission,
and that mission will be best accomplished
by avoiding rather than claiming the ballot,
the pwlpit, the rostrum, and other places and
positions now occupied by the stronger sex.
If woman would conquer the world, let her
she will succeed,
" stoop to conquer," and
but if she demands the conquest, we fear she
will not accomplish it.
One other pleasure was afforded us in the
wav of listening to an admirable discourse
while in Philadelphia, and that was to hear
a Wednesday evening lecture from the Rev.
Dr. Wadsworth, formerly of San Francisco,
but now to become the Pastor of a Dutch
Reformed Church in this cify. His subject
was God's care for his people," as set forth
in the 23d Psalm, commencing,
"
Lur.l is my Shepherd ;
" The
Ac.
shall
1
not waul,"
His exposition of this Psalm was most felicitous and charming. We do not wonder the
people of San Francisco are anxious to retain him as Pastor of Calvary Church.
We might refer to many more incidents
connected with our stay in this city, but
we fear we may have already wearied our
readers.

you
I have thought of you more frequently today, and during the last few days, than of
almost any other person in Honolulu. For
three days I have been viewing the scenes
and wandering among the ruins of Athens.
Knowing your predilection for Greek literature and antiquities, I have thought of the
delight you would have taken in visiting
with us the Parthenon, the Pnyx, Mars' Hill,
the Stadium, and many other well known
localities in and about Athens. To-day we
have visited Eleusis, and seen the mount styled
the " throne of Xerxes," where he sat when
he overlooked the naval battle of Salamis.
We have enjoyed these rambles, beyond what
words can describe.
In our walks we have sometimes been accompanied by Prof. Friederichs, "Director
of Antiquities and Curator of the Museum
of Berlin," in Germany. He has made
Grecian and Roman antiquities a speciality.
He is now traveling through the Orient for
the purpose of procuringrelics and curiosities
for the museum. His remarks are more instructive than any guide-book. He is very
modest and yet very learned, but never afraid
to say, " I don't know." He accompanied
us, or rather we accompanied him, during an
afternoon's walk to the summit of the Acropolis. It was a most beautiful day. The sky
was not overcast by a single cloud. The
weather was mild and the air balmy, yet not
enervating, very much resembling some of
our agreeable and pleasant days at the islands. On our walk to the Acropolis, we
passed by the Temple of Jupiter Olympus,
and under the Arch of Hadrian. Before ascending the " rock," we lingered a little time
in the theatre of Bacchus, where excavations
have been made by the Prussian Government, and where the marble seats of the old
theatre are now fully discovered, and on
many of them the names are inscribed in
Greek, which were readily interpreted. From
thence we passed the Roman theatre, erected
by Hadrian, I believe. The front still remains. It is in the style of Roman, not Grecian architecture. From that we ascended
the Acropolis. You know better than I do
the history of the renowned buildings and
temples which crown that famous hill. Ere
we entered the noble and spacious gateway,
we turned to view the surrounding region
and objects of interest. Only a few steps to
the right, thtre was the Areopagus, or Mars'

Hill, where Paul preached; directly in front,
but a little farther off, was the Pnyx and the
Bema, where Demosthenes "thundered" and
uttered his Philippics; beyond the Areopagus
stood the Temple of Theseus, in nearly a
perfect state of preservation ; while still farther in the distance were the famous olive
groves, where Plato and Socrates and other
Grecian philosophers walked and discoursed.
I must not dwell upon these details, but
hasten with you, while you, in imagination,
accompany us to the glorious summit of the
Acropolis, where still remain, although in
ruins, the Parthenon, the temple of the
Ereckthmm , and those beautiful female figures, the Caryatids*. There we sat down and
viewed these wonderful specimens of Grecian
architecture and sculpture. Then, too, to
have the view accompanied by the nice and
discriminating remarks of Prof. Friederichs !
Oh, it was such a " feast of reason " as it
has seldom been my privilege to enjoy. How
shall I describe in fitting language the panoramic view from the Acropolis! The sea
view was beautiful. In the distance was
Mount Pentelicus, from whence came the
marble for the temples at Eleusis and Athens.
The Ilissus (a very small stream indeed)
flowed near the city, while far away were the
mountains of Hymettus, whence came the
honey so renowned. But why do I describe
these temples and localities to you, who are
so well acquainted with the literature of
Greece, and know so well the history of each
hill, mountain, stream and valley of Greece?
Well, you have rettd about them, but I have
Mm them, and the impressions made to-day
will never be effaced from my mind.
On descending the mount, we passed on-
ward to Mars' Hill. There Judge Austin read
in our hearing the Apostle Paul's discourse
recorded in the 17th chapter of the Book of
Acts. It requires no stretch of the imagination to think of the noble Apostle pointing to
the Acropolis, when he uttered the words,
" Forasmuch then, as we are the offspring of
God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or atone,
graven by art and man's device."
From the Areopagus we passed over to the
Bema, and stood where Demosthenes once
stood, where Pericles stood, where Themistocles stood, where Aristides stood ! Was
not that a privilege ! As the twilight was
approaching, we were compelled to hasten
our return to our hotel, but still we found
time to view the Temple of Theseus.
Enough, you will say, for one day ! Yet
during our sojourn in Athens, we made many
such rambles. Sunrise on the morning of
the 11th found us on the summit of Lycabettus, or Mount St. George, which even
overlooks the Acropolis, and all the surrounding country. The view must be seen to be
appreciated, for my poor description will not
do justice to the scene.
Should I be spared to return to Honolulu,
1 shall hope to have many pleasant chats
with you respecting these classic lands. I
will merely give you an outline of our journey after leaving Paris. We passed through
Northern Italy, and along the shores of the
Adriatic to Brindisi; crossed over to Alexandria, and up to Cairo, where we spent a
week; then we steamed down the Suez
Canal to Port Said. There we embarked on
board a Russian steamer for Jaffa (or Joppa.)
We hurried off to Jerusalem, where we spent
nearly four days, and then returned to Jaffa
and spent the Sabbath. On Monday morning
we embarked on board an Austrian steamer,
which passing along the shores of the Mediterranean, and occasionally touching, afforded us the unexpected yet exquisite delight of spending a day among the American
missionaries at Beyrout, a day on the Isle of
Cyprus, an hour at the Island of Rhodes, a
day at Smyrna, a day at Syros, and so on
we steamed away, until we landed at the
Peiraeus, and rode up to Athens, where wo
spent three days, briefly described in this
To-morrow we return to the Peiraeus, (o
embark for Messina, Sicily, thence we hope to
proceed to Naples, Pompeii, Rome, Florence,
Paris, London.
When I arrive in England I will finish my
letter. Having thought of you so often, I
felt that I must write you from this renowned
city. Oh, the panoramic view of the surrounding region from the Acropolis is magnificent ! Athens is a beautiful city. To-day
is the last day of 1869, according to the
Greek style of reckoning, or old style. The
gay and light-hearted Athenians have filled
the streets ; ladies and gentlemen have lined
the side-walks, and children are running
about with toys and presents. It has been
inspiring to walk through the streets. Think
of the signs on stores and shops in Greek
characters !

Agreeable to my intimation in the fore
going letter, dated in Athens about three
weeks ago, I will now briefly sketch my re
turn to England. We embarked on board
French steamer Friday morning, Januar
14th,for Messina, Sicily. We steamed alon
the eastern shores of Greece, and during th
night passed around the Morea. The follow
ing morning found us encountering a win<

commander of the steamer not deeming it
safe to proceed, put back to the Bay of Navarino, where, you remember, occurred the
famous naval engagement which secured the
independence of modern Greece, when the

1527, if I remember aright. The following
morning we were allowed to proceed on our
voyage, reaching Messina Monday morning,

few hours, and then embarked for Naples,
passing between Sylla and Charybdis, so
famous in the poems of Homer and Virgil,
incidit in Scyßom, gui vult vitare Charybdiiu. Escaping both, we safely passed on
'our course, and although retarded somewhat
by bad weather, reached Naples. After viewing the remarkable sights of that city, and
especially the museum, which contains so
many Pompeian curiosities, we visited Pompeii itself. Surely this city, now being exhibited to the astonished gaze of the eager
sight-seeing tourist, presents one of the most
remarkable spectacles anywhere to be seen
on our globe. You are familiar wiih the
descriptions of scholars and tourists, but it
must be seen to be appreciated. There you
may see the old Roman as he was 1800
years ago. We walked through the now
silent streets of the once busy Pompeii. We
however, that although you have never visited those old Grecian and Roman lands, yet
you are able to inspire your pupils with so
much enthusiasm for classical learning. On
my return to Buckhurst 1 found a letter from
one of your late pupils, who employs this expression " The studies are very delightful.
I am so enjoying the music of the ■ Odes of
Horace,' in which the fragrance lingers
through all the years."
Here I am again in Old England, having
been absent from London just eight weeks to
a day, and can appreciate a few days of rest,

Marshall Islands.
estimated
population of these islands
The
is 20,000. The islands are low—some ten
or twenty feet above the level of the ocean.
In this respect they are similar to the Gilbert
Islands. There is, however, much more vegetation on the Marshall than on the Gilbert
Group. At Ebon and Namarick we found
abundance of breadfruit, which we did not
find at Taptteuea, Tarawa or A paiang. The
Hawaiian Board of Missions have five missionaries with their wives in this field, assisted by two native Marshall islanders, the
Rev. B. G. Snow having the oversight of the
whole field. Five islands are occupied by
these, two of which are new stations, taken
this year (1869.) There are two churches
with 115 members, and eight or nine schools,
with as many teachers. The people are not
so degraded, debased and shameless as those
of the Gilbert Group. As a general thing
they wear more clothes, if that which they
use to cover their nakedness can be called
clothes. They are very skillful in making
and navigating their canoes, some of which
are quite large.
Ebon.
This was the first island of the Marshall
Group at which we anchored. It has a population of 868, being an increase of 218 in
six years. A church was formed on this
island some years ago by the Rev. Mr.
Doane, which now numbers 91 members.
Five schools are in existence, taught by six
Ebon teachers. Things are prosperous here,
though the high chief, who is sometimes
called king, is a blood-thirsty savage. A few
months before we arrived at Ebon on our return from Ponape, this man speared one of
his two wives to death, then threw her corpse
into the lagoon, where it floated about for a
day and part of two nights, after which at
the remonstrance of two foreigners, oil traders,
she was buried.
These two foreigners, Mr. Snow hopes,
have become the servants of Jehovah. One
is a Scotchman, son of a Presbyterian minister, an educated man, who has seen much
of the workings of the English missionaries
in the South Pacific. He speaks well of
their labors, and of what they have accomplished. The influence of these two men is
now exerted on the side of morality and religion. lam told they are only too anxious
to help the Hawaiian missionaries in anyway that they can.
The members of the church appeared well,
and can read in the books prepared for them.
All join in singing at family and public worship. The church here is a large, well built,
substantial building 60x30, and 12 ieet high,
the frame of which may stand for many
years, and must have cost the missionaries
and people much labor. My impression is,
there is not an iron nail or bolt in the whole
building. I attended a prayer-meeting in it,
where fifty persons came together to unite
their hearts in prayer to Jehovah. The people present appeared well. An examination
of the schools was also held in this building,
some two hundred pupils being present, who
were examined in reading, writing, geography
and arithmetic. These did not appear so
well as I suppose they would have done,
from what I had heard of the schools in this
group. The only Sabbath spent with the
people of this island was a delightful one.
Two hundred or more came together and
were addressed in the morning by the Rev.
A. A. Sturges, of Ponape; the Captain of the
]ate Morning Star spoke to the Sabbath school
scholars, and your delegate addressed the
congregation in the afternoon, the Rev. Mr.
Aea interpreting. The people gave good
attention to what was said. We hope impressions may have been made which may
result in the salvation of some souls. Taking Mr. Snow on board the Morning Star,
we set sail for
Namarick.
This is a small but rich island, covered
with cocoanut trees; has a population of 391,
with a church of 25 members, three schools,
with three teachers and three assistant teach-

they do not all attend at one time, but are all
known as pupils of the schools. The people
of this small island have contributed the past
year 315 gallons of cocoanut oil for monthly
concerts, and have paid for books which they
have purchased from the missionary 267 gallons of oil, and $7 25 in cash. Did the
churches of Hawaii or the United States do
half as much in proportion to their means,
there would be no lack of funds to carry the
gospel to China and the world. There is a
large number of persons on this island who
are numbered among those who arc inquirers
after the way of salvation ; God appears to
be blessing the labors of His servant; the
people appear well; the missionary hopeful,
though his wife is feeble, and needs rest. It
was our intention to bring her to the Hawaiian Islands for this purpose, but the loss of
our vessel frustrated this, as well as other
designs which we had proposed. This group
of islands is now well manned by Hawaiian
missionaries, and with the blessing of God
upon their labors, we may hope to reap much
fruit to the glory of Him at whose command
our brethren dwell among that degraded,
wicked people. Having finished our work
at the Marshall Group, we sailed for the
Caroline Islands.
The Hawaiian Board have missionaries
•on only two of these islands, viz: Strong's
Island and Ponape, or Ascension.
Strong’s Island.
This name, of course, is not known by the
inhabitants of this island. They call the two
islands, which are known to foreigners by the
name Strong's Island, Kutaie. The largest
of these is Ualan, and the smallest is Lela ;
both together are called jKimaie. This is a
high island, and it was pleasant to feast the
eyes on its peaks, ridges and valleys after
having voyaged for so long a time among the
low islands. " The gem of the Pacific," it
is called by some, and is so in more senses
than one. Its scenery is picturesque and
beautiful, but the moral state of the inhabitants is much more to be admired. The
population of this " gem " is 600, with no
white man ; one church of 159 members,
with a Strong's Island man for its pastor;
four church buildings—three of stone, and
one built in the style of building houses on
the island. The people can all read, and
join in singing the songs of Zion. As we
landed at the wharf near Mr. Snow's house
on Dove Island, we were greeted by the
" good morning " of many who had come together to welcome their missionary on his
return to visit them for a short time before
his final departure for the fatherland. It was
delightful to sec old and young—men and
women, boys and girls—coming around, and
taking him by the hand, greet him with kind
salutations. As I have seen loving children
flock around a father beloved returning to his
home after a long absence, thus did this
people gather around our brother, whom
they regnrd as their spiritual father. They
seemed more like Hawaiians than any with
whom I came in contact in Micronesia. They
were for the most part dressed in foreign
clothes. I was struck with the mild, quiet,
loving countenances of many of them. They
looked as if they were brimful of happiness.
What were these people 18 years ago?
Naked, degraded, sensual, smokers of tobacco, and drinkers of awa; superstitious,
ignorant of books and the true God. How
changed! Now they are clothed, and in
their right minds—can read the Bible—sing
the songs of Zion—have a Sabbath—worship
the true God, and show by their lives the
truth of the religion which they profess with
their lips. To God be all the praise ; man
alone could never have effected such a change.
It was on the south side of this island that
the Morning Star was wrecked on her return voyage from Ponape. After spending
a week with the people of Strong's Island,
we embarked with cheerful hearts on board
our ocean home " on the 18th of October,
1869. That night she lay a wreck upon the
rocks. The Morning Star had set in
gloom; her work was done. How short her
race! Why has this calamity been permitted ?
Why our prospects blasted of carrying the
gospel to those who know not God, and are
without hope in the world ? How many
hearts will bleed when they hear that the
vessel " is a wreck, —that the
" children's
love," greeted with so much
of
messenger
"
joy by the missionaries and their converts,
will be seen no more by them. With what
anxious eyes did our almost martyred brother
at Butaritari look for her return, but looked
in vain. O God, thy ways are mysterious!—
accomplish thine own designs, though all the
instruments which man may devise may be
dashed to pieces. By this sad calamity the
power of the gospel has been gloriously manifested in making this once thievish, lying,
cruel people, honest, truthful and kind. Had
we been wrecked there eighteen years ago,
how different would have been our reception.
May the Lord reward them for all their
kindness to us. I visited the wreck for the
last time on the 17th of November. How
desolate she looked, scattered upon this
rocky shore—the bow in one place—deck in
another—rtimbers in another—theroof of the
cabin, where we had so often walked, holding communion with dear ones at home and
with God, in another! O what thoughts
arise in the mind when we remember the
past! She has done her work, but in how
short a time ? Did we not trust too much in
the instrument, and not enough in Him whose
instrument she was ? May the Lord, if it
seems good to Him, give us another Star to
shine with greater brightness.
their efforts with success. Many of the people can read the Bible; at least one-half of
all the population belong to what is called
the Christian party; four churches have been
formed, numbering now in regular standing
about 250 members.' Mrs. Sturges has a
large school, and also Mr. Doane. They are
assisted in teaching by natives of the island,
one or two of whom have also the care of
churches, but none have ever been set apart
to the work of the ministry. No Hawaiian
missionaries have labored in this field for
many years.
The Morn ing Star anchored in Haru Bay,
75 days after we had left Honolulu. Mr.
Sturges with Hezekaiah, the high chief of
one of the tribes, and the head of the Christian party, came on board. With Mr. Sturgea
1 went on shore met his wife, and Julia
their daughter. Soon we were on our way
in a canoe to convey to a good brother intelligence which would make his heart sad. At
about 10 o'clock, P. M., we landed at Mr.
Doane's wharf, and were soon at his house,
where I received a greeting such as missionaries alone know how to give each other. I
was glad to find myself under the roof of
this warm-hearted Christian brother, whom I
had met in other days in my own happy
home at Lahainaluna, Maui. I communicated to him the state of his wife's health,
and her return to the fatherland. He of
course was much disappointed, as he was exher return on the Morning Star.
pecting
I spent two days with our lonely brother, visited a high bluff called "Gibraltar," sailed
up a beautiful river named Hudson," a"nd
went to the falls of " Niagara." In these excursions 1 was accompanied by a man named
Narcissus. He, with his wife, were among
the first company who were baptized on the
island of Ponape. He came from Manilla ;
was a Roman Catholic, and is now an influential, Christian man. His wi*e is a pleasant, somewhat civilized, and Christian woman.
One of the high chiefs had said that he
would put to death any one who would consent to be baptized by the missionary. Narcissus was not a native, hence did not fear
his threat, which however his wife did. She
knew well what that threat meant. After
Drayer and consultation, she said, I will be

r..r the Friend
Friendly Word to
Seamen.
A
How often in your ocean-tossed life, sundered far from loved ones, have you not retilized the want of a sympathizing friend ?
Whether in the cabin or forecastle, you need
one whose love nnd friendship endures amid
your changing-life, "a friend that sticketh
closer than a brother."
A young man piously educated, it child of
ninny prayers,-nnd n member of a Christian
church, shipped at Boston for his first voyage
on board a vessel bound to the Pacific. Life
at sea was new life for him. He intended
to walls the Chiistian path, but he found
none in the forecastle to sympathize with
him, or encourage him in his good resolutions. On the contrary, there were oaths
and curses ; evil communications which corrupt good manners ; a ridicule of all that wits
good, and a mocking at sin. He very soon
en mo to the decision that he could not lead
a godly life in the forecastle of a ship. This
was a sad nnd wrong conclusion, for had he
sought for strength and trusted to the grace
of God, he would have been enabled to endure all the taunts and ridicule of his shipmates, nnd might probably have won some of
them on the better way, by a good example,
and kind efforts for their welfare. His great
mistake was, that he did not abide in Christ,
which was his duty and privilege, as the
Saviour exhorts. Not abiding in Him, he
was cast forth as n branch which is withered—bringing wretchedness upon himself,
and causing anguish of heart to those who
loved him. Now had there been in that
forecastle a decided friend of the Lord Jesus
to take this young man by the hand, and
speak words of sympathy, encouragement
and warning, his ruin might have been prevented. Among his shipmates were those
who were frank and generous, and who would
have risked life itself for a brother sailor, but
they had no regard for their highest welfare—the salvation of the soul.
Reader, do you belong to a ship's crew,
not one of whom is a decided Christian, a
man of prayer 7 If so, you cannot expect to
find one there who shall tell you of a helper
for every time of need. But there is a
Friend, whose love all love excels, waiting
and ready to be your friend. Ah, in your
lonely night watch, He is near, watching for
any longings for His friendship springing up
in your heart; and if at times you venture
to breathe an earnest prayer that He would
have mercy on you, and save you, He listens
to the faintest utterances, and says, "According to your faith, be it unto you." But you
cannot secure and abide in His friendship
unless you comply with His own condition,
which is, ■ If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take* up his cross,
and follow me ; for whosoever will save his
life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his
life for my sake, shall find it." To take up
your cross in the forecastle, to confess Christ
before your shipmates, will be hard,and you
may shrink from it, but with the Saviour to
help, you can do it. Paul said, 1 can do
"
all things through Christ who strengtheneth
me." With the same all-powerful Friend,
who is ever ready to help all who trust in
Him, you can live to glorify God in the forecastle, and press towards heaven, nnd one
HUKM),

day exchange the cross for ihe crown. Many
a sailor has found Christ upon the ocean, and
proved that
there Is above all others,
" One
Well deaerves the name of Friend."
If you have His love in your heart, it will
then be your aim to improve the golden opportunities that fall within your sphere to
recommend this Friend-to others.
Perhaps yon who read these lines have
men under your command. As captain or
officer of B vessel, your obligations—your influence are far greater than those under your
authority, either for good or evil. Christ has
emphatically declared, " He that is not for
me, is against me." How much good you
would do if you were His sincere follower;
your influence, whether at sea or on shore,
would be felt; many would be your opportunities to lend your perishing fellow-men to
the Lamb of God that taketh awny the sin of
the world, and your reward would be great.
Possibly you are conscious you hnve been
unfnithlul to yourself, in that you have
neglected your own soul's salvation, and consequently unconcerned nbout the everlasting
welfare of those who sail with you.
In vastly more than one sense are you on
a voyage. Probably you hope, after a few
months or years, to bring your vessel safe to
port, rest from your fatigues and dangers,
and receive the reward of your labors. But
what about the voyage of life '! By what
chart are you guided ? What are your expectations in that long forever ? Will you
at last safely anchor, or in the darkness of
despair prove nn eternal wreck ? May your
choice note be the friendship of Him of whom
it is written, " He that believeth on Him
shall not be confounded.

Steam Communication with Australia.
On the 19th of April the Wonga Wonga,
the pioneer vessel of the Australian and California line of steamers, arrived in Honolulu,
having left Sydney the 26th of March, and
calling at Auckland on her route. Everything appears to open favorably for the new
line. She brought all the passengers that
could be accommodated, some of whom go
on to Europe. Connection here was made
with the steamer Idaho, which left this port
April 21st for San Francisco, taking besides
a large number ofresidents and others. We
should think this route over the placid waters
of the Pacific must prove very acceptable to
the traveler, whether on business or pleasure;
and the introduction of steam on this ocean
must necessarily stir up trade among its
numberless islands. A New Zealand paper
commenting on this new line, remarks:
" The Panama route did
not
really bring
New Zealand into communication with the
United States ; nor did it enable telegraphic
news to be forwarded which could compete
with that which reached us by the Marseilles
and Suez route. By the new route, all the

LC7*The United States sloop-of-war Jamestown proceeds to Micronesia to look after
American interests in those quarters —going
first to Tarawa to land her passengers, Mr.
and Mrs. Bingham ; thence to Apaiang, both
islands of the Gilbert Group; thence to
Ebon, and other parts of the Marshall Islands; and to Strong's and Ascension of the
Caroline Group. Her objects are to obtain
redress for grievances and wrongs lately committed on American citizens and property by
the savages of several of those islands, and
to place affairs generally on a more proper
and solid footing for the future. No exploration or survey of Micronesia is intended to
be made, except incidentally. Capt. Truxton has also been requested by the Hawaiian
Government to investigate into the circumstances connected with the murderous attack
on the Rev. Mr. Mahoe, and to give his
countenance and protection to Hawaiian subjects residing on any of the islands of Micronesia.

GIRARD COLLEGE
l
While spending a few days in Philadelphia, we felt inclined to visit this famous institution. We had. not forgotten the tabu
specified in Girard's will, that no clergyman
should either teach in or even visit the Col-
lege premises. Having occasionally met
clergymen who had visited the place, and
never having seen any one who had been refused, we were disposed to think that all
scruples upon this subject were now ignored.
Thus impressed, the gentleman whose hospitality we were enjoying having procured
for us a ticket, entitled, " Stranger's Ticket,"
marked " special," and signed by one of the
directors, we naturally supposed that no
clause in Girard's will would prevent us
from entering and viewing the spacious
grounds and costly edifices. On entering the
gate we were requested to record our names,
being accompanied by two ladies. This form
having been complied with, tbe janitor, while

As our readers may be interested in reading the clause in the will of the founder of
this College, we quote as follows:
"Extract from the Will of Stephen Girard.
There are, however, some restrictions, which
1 consider it my duty to prescribe, and to be,
amongst others, conditions on which my bequest for said College is made, and to be enSecondly, I enjoin

or minister ot any sect whatsoever, shall ever
hold or exercise nny station or duty whatever in the said College; nor shall any ttied
person ever be admitted for .my purpose, or
a*, a visitor, within the premises appropriated
to the purposes of the said College. In making this restriction, I do not mean to cast any
reflection upon any sect or person whatsoever; but as then- is such a multitude of
sects, and such a diversity of opinion amongst
them, I desire to keep the tender minds of
the orphans, who are to derive advantage
from this bequest, free from the excitement
which clashing doctrines und sectarian controversy nre so apt to produce. My desire
is, that all the instructors and teachers in the
College shall take pains to instill into the
minds of the scholars the purest principles of
morality, so that, on their entrance into active life, they may from inclination and habit,
evince benevolence towards their fellow creatures, and a love of truth, sobriety and industry, adopting at the same time, such religious tenets as their matured reason may
enable them to prefer."
On entering u colored Baptist church,
we heard a very good sermon from a colored
'lerj-ymaii. It was Coinm union Sabbath. As
the sexton came Hround to luke the collection,
we asked him if we should be allowed to
commune. He replied very courteously, "If
you belong to our faith and order."
In the one case we were denied the privilege of visiting Girard College because of our
clerical profession, and in the other we were
debarred the privilege of "communing" with
the professed followers of Christ because not
a member of a close Communion Baptist
church. Girard had his reasons for forbidding
clergymen from visiting the College which

pit."
We found the College to be in a most prosperous condition, with its ten professors and
one hundred and fifty students. In near
proximity is situated the Theologicol Seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church.
On Sabbath morning, October 24th, we
attended church at the College chapel, and
heard the Rev. Dr. Demarest of the Seminary, preach an excellent sermon from Matthew 5:17-20. While seated in the chapel,
we could not refrain from an occasional
glance at the portraits of illustrious divines
and presidents whose names and memories
are cherished among not only those belonging to the Dutch Reformed Church, but
among Christians of the church universal.
There hung the portraits of Livingston,
Milledollar, Condict, Cannon, Proudfit, ami
the late Chancellor, Hon. Theodore Frelinghaysen, whose memory is precious among
all the friends of learning, philanthropy and
missions throughout America and the world.
One other portrait had found a conspicuous place among those illustrious men which
particularly arrested our attention. It was
that of the late Rev. David Abeel, one of the
early American missionaries to China, where
he labored before that Empire was opened to
the preaching of Protestant missionaries.
Perhnps no one has done more to direct the
attention of the friends of missions to China
than Mr. Abeel. Twice he visited that country, and when through feebleness the American Board thought it unwise to send him
forth, he went among the theological seminaries of America, and endeavored lo arouse
the attention of young ministers to the importance of becoming missionaries. Well do
we remember his visit to Princeton Seminary
during the summer of 1838, while we were
a student there.
The pleasure of our stay in New Brunswick was much enhanced in consequence of
our becoming acquainted with several of the
Japanese students now pursuing their studies
at this College. Having met Japanese at
Honolulu and at Amherst College, it was ex-
ceedingly pleasant to meet with students
from that far-off land quietly pursuing a collegiate course of study at New Brunswick.
Here there are nine. One of them has spent
four years in London, and we found him
well informed in regard to the world at large.
These young men have been sent to obtain
their education in America through the- personal influence of the Rev. Dr. Verbeck, Rev.
Dr. Brown, and Dr. Hepburn, missionaries
in Japan under tbe patronage of the Dutch
Reformed Board of Missions.
The foregoing are a few of our reminiscences of a pleasant visit to New Brunswick,

THE REV. DB. CUMMINGS.
On the first Sabbath morning after our arrival in London we visited Crown Court,
Drury Lane, Presbyterian chapel to hear the
renowned Dr. Cummings, whose writings
have become so generally circulated in America and the wide w-uld. Most fortunately
for us, he preached ai home that morning.
We learned that he seldom makes exchanges
or is absent from his pulpit, morning or evening, except during a short vacation at the
close of summer. The chapel stands back
from the main street, and is quite antiquated
in appearance and construction. The pews
arc contracted, and the aisles narrow; the
pulpit barrel-shaped, and is surmounted by a
sounding board. The audience appeared 10

many of them we know rank with the aristocracy. It is here the Duchess of Sutherland worships.
The exercises, in regard to order of arrangement, varied but little from the Presbyterian or Congregational order as practiced
in the United States. As the morning lesson,
Dr. Cummings read and expounded the tenth
chapter of St. John's gospel, referring to the
Great Shepherd. His remarks were very
rich and full of meaning. His text was selected from the same chapter, verses 27th and
:28th. His discourse was delivered without
notes, although it had evidently been prepared with care, and probably written out.

effort on the part of the clergy of the Established Church to arouse the attention of the
mass of the people of the city to the importance of vital godliness. The churches were
open morning and evening through the week,
and there was constant preaching. To employ an American term, there was "a twelve
days' protracted meeting." What seems
quite remarkable, this effort was mainly put
forth by the High Church Ritualistic party
of the Established Church. Still not exclusively so, as the Low Church clergy joined
in the effort. We copy the following notice
of these meetings from the British Independent of November 26th:
" The ' Twelve Days' Mission which the
High Church clergy of London have organized for a great assault upon the religious indifference of the metropolis has been completed, and the directors of the movement
seem to expect great results. To-day they

almost invariably followed by invitations to

already quoted says ' Be it in harmony with
the meaning of the Church of England or
not, there can be no doubt in the minds ol
those who have attended these Mission services that confession is no longer a moot point
or matter of discussion, but part and parcel
of the religious 'revival,' and differing only
in a very slight degree from the practice of
the Roman Church.' At, many churches
' celebrations ' were incessant, and a variety
of ceremonies were practiced. It is impossible that this revival' can have passed without startling up some dead souls or without
giving some poor creatures the hope by which
they may be saved. If Christ is preached,
even though it be with all manner of absurd
and mischievous sacramental additions, we
cannot but rejoice."

pied by Mr. Sturges. Sooi, I was sailing
up the lagoon. The scenery was beautiful
in the extreme. Delighted I gazed upon it,
as my heart went out in love to that Being
who has made so fair a world as this for
such beings as we are to inhabit. " Every
prospect pleases, and only man is vile."
Vile man, however, will be regenerated, and
this beautiful island and world will be inhabited by those whose feelings, in unison
with this loving landscape, will go out in
adoration and devotion to the Holy Father,
who has made all things delightful in their
kind.
On the 24th ot September the examination
of Mrs. Sturges' school was held in the large,
new stone meeting house at Ova. At 10
o'clock A. M.. some five hundred persons
had assembled in the church. The high
chief of that district, and the head of the
Christian party, with his wife and daughter,
were present. This daughter is one of the
teachers of the school, and is a pleasant,
good looking, intelligent woman ; married to
a young man, whose title is lotapa, a fellow
passenger on the Morning Star when she
was wrecked. Some seventy or eighty pupils
were examined in reading, writing, arithmetic and geography. Some questions were
asked and answered in astronomy; several
compositions read, one on Hawaii nei. The
services were closed by a scene from the
Bible—David killing Goliah. Everything
went off well, and to the satisfaction of those
engaged. The pupils have obtained a good

has a large class which he is instructing in
vocal music. These sang several pieces during the examination, and acquitted themselves admirably. He his the nucleus of
many choirs in his school. Many of the
pupils have good voices, and will make creditable singers. As at Ebon, so here—all
the people, old and yoiyig, join in singing,
having committed to memory all their hymns,
with appropriate tunes. It is said that the
people on the high islands have much sweeter
voices thvtn those on the low ones. Why
is this ? Many of those at the examination
were dressed in foreign clothes, some most
fantastically. Especially was this the case
with some of their head dresses. As a general thing these people were not so well attired as were the Strong's islanders, while
they had more clothes than the inhabitants
of the Gilbert Group. After examination
came the feast. While in the house of Mr.
Sturges, our attention was arrested by a loud
outcry, a kind of chant. Going to the door,
we saw a long procession of persons with
sugar-cane, breadfruit, yams, pigs, dogs, etc.,
marching to a house where they intended to
have the feast. Guns were fired, an old
kerosene oil can was beaten,anda kind of flute
played. These with the shoutings which
were heard, caused as much excitement as is
witnessed on such occasions in more civilized
lands. One thing was wanting, which was
always a part of such gatherings in old times,
and is now among the heathen party, viz:
awa. No awa was seen or drank.
The five distinct tribes on Ponape are the
Metalanim, Kity, U, Nut and Jekoits. The
Nut and Jekoits are now united under one
king, so that there are now only four kings
on the island. Hezekiah, the high chief of
the E7 tribe, is head of the so-called Christian
party, which now numbers 3,000 or more.
He is very influential, even more so than the
king of the tribe to which he belongs, but is
very inferior in personal appearance. There
is nothing dignified about him. Being lame
in both feet, and not able to stand erect, he
has to be carried about on the back of a man,
or on a manele. His face is also disfigured,
but is. however, a Christian man. He has
suffered, and is suffering for the stand which
he has taken on the side of Christianity. May
he be a nursing father to the church of Ponape, as was he after whom he is named to
the Jewish church.
Sabbath, September 26th, was another
great day for the Ponape Christian party.
Notwithstanding a heavy rain a large congregation came together, at least four hundred persons. There were three or four other
congregations together on the island at the
same lime. Your delegate addressed the
people, giving them the Christian salutations
of the churches of Hawaii and of the Hawaiian Board; spoke to them of the love of
Christ to mankind and to themselves, and
then urged them as followers of Christ, whose
name they bore, to bring forth fruit, to show
their love for him who had loved them and
gave his life to save their souls. This service being ended the Sabbath-school assembled : Mrs. Sturges the superintendent; He-

zekiah, his daughter and her husband teachers. It was pleasant to see those high in
authority taking theirseats as Sabbath-school
teachers to instruct others in the gospel,
which was precious to their own souls. At
tbe close of the school the Captain of the
late Morning Star made some appropriate
remarks ; then the women with Mrs. Sturges
retired to another house to hold a prayer
meeting, while Mr. Sturges and the men remained in the churcii for the same purpose.
Alter a short recess the people met again.
The Lord's Supper was administered to
some two hundred persons. The house was
quiet. The peonle behaved with the greatest propriety. I saw none of that whispering, giggling, levity, etc., which has often
pained my heart at the table of the Lord on
these islands of Hawaii. The people appeared to feel that the Lord was with them;
that they were engaged in a solemn service.
In the afternoon I accompanied Mr. Sturges
and Julia in a canoe to a village in the
neighborhood to meet with the people in a
prayer and conference meeting. In a large
feast house, surrounded with canoes, mats,
cooking utensils, etc., we offered our petitions
to Him who is ever ready to hear the supplications of His people. It was good to be
there. Returning to the house of Mr. Sturges,
we closed the services of the day by uniting
in prayer with some thirty or forty persons
who came for that purpose. A day of toil,
of bodily weariness, but a day of soul refreshing from Him who has given us the privilege
of thus laboring in His vineyard. May good
have been done, souls benefited, and God's
name glorified.
There are now four churches on Ponape,
with some two hundred and fifty members m
good standing. Three hundred or more have
been baptized, but from deaths, suspensions
and expulsions only two hundred and fifty
are left. Some 3,000 of the people are under
the influence of missionary instruction. No
Hawaiian missionary has labored there for
many years. It is a hard field ; many influences opposed to the gospel. A good work
has been begun, which we hope may continue and extend till all the people, both foreign and aborigines, may be brought to the
light, and be made acquainted with Him who
alone can save the soul.
Our work here being finished, we made
preparations to return to Strong's Island, as
the missionaries were not prepared to send
any of their number west to occupy new
fields this year.
Perhaps it will be well to state here seme
items which 1 gathered from the Captain of
the brig Vesta, of Hamburg, belonging to
Godfrey & Co., of that city. She came from
the Pelew Islands, and was bound to Samoa
with dried cocoanuts. The Captain and officers of this vessel have frequently visited
the islands west of Ponape, where the Morning Star was expecting to explore this year.
Pelew Island.
This is basaltic, about 2,000 feet in altitude, and has 10,000 inhabitants; the Captain thinks less. This, however, is the estimation of tbe first officer, an intelligent
German, who had spent nine months on the
island. The women d%all the work; the
men spend their time in eating, sleeping and
fishing. The people are governed by one
king, who rules with an iron rod, and is
greatly feared. Under him are a number of
chiefs who acknowledge their allegiance to
him, but rule supreme over their own clans.
Each man has one wife, and as many concubines as he can afford to buy or support.
Their canoes are dug out from one log ;
some of them 60 feet long, with out-riggers
and sails. The largest canoes have 30 seats,
and will carry 60 persons. Yams, breadfruit
and sweet potatoes grow in abundance. Pigs
and chickens are plenty. Some two years
ago the people began the cultivation of cotton
under the direction of a foreigner placed
there by Godfrey Sc Co., of Hamburg. This
firm have now ten cotton gins on.the island,
and purchase the cotton when ginned at from
six to eight cents per pound in trade. Two
kinds are cultivated—the Sea Island and
the South Sea cotton, but both are pronounced by good judges to be very inferior
articles. It is the opinion of the Captain of
the Vesta antl his officers that missionaries
would be permitted to live and labor among
the people.
Yap.
This is an island about 2,000 miles from
Ebon ; basaltic ; about 30 miles long and
1,200 feet high ; has no lagoon, but a good
passage into a harbor large enough for a ship
to anchor with safety. The Captain of the
Vesta estimated the population at 8 or 10,000.
His first officer, however, said there were
15,000. The island is much more thickly
inhabited than the Pelew, and (he people more
treacherous. The women do all the work.
The king is not feared like the king of the
Pelew. The people worship a great number
of spirits, who make the thunder, lightning,
and cause rain. These spirits have the destinies of the people in their power, and are
much awed by them. The productions of
the island are the same as those of the Pelew.
The language might be easily acquired, so
thought the Captain, and missionaries might
live among them without danger to their
lives.
Hoogloo.
The people of these islands are the most
savage of any west of Ponape. The first officer of the Vesta described them as treacherous, much more so than those of Yap or
Pelew. Had no doubt our vessel would
have been cut offhad she gone there.
One month after the wreck of the Morning Star we embarked on board the English
brig Anne Porter, Capt. Davie, for Honolulu,
via Namaric, Ebon, and Butaritari. Having
touched at these islands, and finished the
work left undone on our outward passage,
we arrived at Honolulu on the 4th day of
February, 1570—77 days from Strong's Island, _56 from Ebon, and 44 days from Butaritari. 1 have been absent from Honolulu
almost seven months, and during that time
have sailed 4,618 miles on the Morning Star,
and 5,094 miles on the Anne Porter ; in all
9,712 miles.
Your delegate has been treated with the
greatest kindness by all the missionaries
with whom he has come in contact; as also
by the captains, officers and crews of the
vessels upon which he has sailed. May the
Lord have blessed our intercourse with each
other, and may it be seen at th*» last day
that the seed sown on the waters may have
brought forth fruit to the glory of His name
whom we delight to call Master.

E?" The Ctiinesc Government has experienced a serious loss in the death of Mr.
Anson Burlingame, which occurred at St.
Petorsburgh on the 23d of February. In
1867 he was commissioned as Chinese Envoy to the (Jnited States und European
powers, with whom he was bringing that vast
Empire into closer relations. The Detroit
Advertiser thus gives tbe early history of
that distinguished Americo-Chinese Embassador:
It may not be known to many of our readers that Anson Burlingame was, when a boy,
n resident of Detroit, and peddled the Daily

attracted the attention of the late Charles

was then appointed by President Lincoln
Minister to Austria, and subsequently Minister to China. Getting into the confidence
of his Celestial Majesty, and finding the service of the Chinese Government more profitable than that of Uncle Sam, he abandoned
hiß ministry and undertook the leadership of
a legation of Mandarins sent to Europe and
this country to negotiate treaties with the

about the time he started on this magnificent

Capt. Rlckmann furnishes tbe following Left Honolulu Jan
vary 12th, 1870, for the Guano Islanda. Arrived at Jarvia 111
and January lS3d. The surf being high, waa unable to land
stores. Drilled out of light of the island, whichwe made again
onIhe latof February- At 9:30 A. M sent a boat onshore
,
with Mr. Smart and lour men. At 10:30 A. 11., aenl a boat
with Mr. Johnson and four men. At 3P. M., both boata camo
nil tti the brig when I loaded them with store* aud sent them
on shore (the brig being at the time about two milea from the
inland), thinking they couldland and return to the brig before
dark Mr. Thomaou, the second officer, and four Hawaiian.*
being In uue lioat, and Mr. Johnsonand four men In the other.
Tho boats not returning before dark, 1 kept the brig; making
abort tacka all night, keeping the light on shore In sight. At
daylight theisland bore S. E., about twomilcHdistant. Neither
boat coming oil; kept the vessel off and ou all day, making
short tacka as during the night. Finding the boata did not
make their appearance, ami the wind getting light, and Ibe
vessel drifting to leeward, kept her to the northward. February 4, Manuel Demtdcuy fell overboard from the fly jib-boom
while looking the nail. When first seen he wan under the port
quarter, the brig at the time lieing on the port tack. The vessel waa Immediately brought to on the starboard tack, a Hfr
buoy having been cut adrift and thrown to him also all inch
plank 12 feet long was thrown overboard l<*r his assistance at
the same time. The man had a heavy coat ami an oil-clotli
jacketon at the time,nnd being unable to i-wiin, and not having suerei-ded in getting hold of either the j-.ank or lifebuoy,
he went downbefore the vessel with the light wind and strongwesterly current could be got round ; and having no boats, it
wus impossible to save him. February 11th mad-j Jarvis Island again, bearing went. At 10 A. M. Mr. John* -n came oo
board, reporting that theother boat, in which was .Mr. Thomson at>d the fourHawuiians, had not reached the i-laml. In
pulling for theIsland on the In of February after having left
the brig about 20 minutes, they nut with a heavy cross current
ami toppling sea, and forabout an hour and a half, aa near an
he could judge, they were unable to gain an inch on theisland.
Just before sunset Mr. Johnson's boat got into smooth water,
aud made the lauding. .\ir. Johnaon saw thoother lioat about
15 minutes before sundown, it being at the time admit a quarter of a mile astern ol his boat. Hoon alter looking for it again,
waa unable to sec it. Thinking that it was possible that th-boat had not lieen capsized, hut had hoen carried away by the
current, winch was selling about VV. s \\'., 1 kept the vessel
on that course for two days nnd nights, shortening sailand laying the brig aback during the night, alt the tiuie keeping a look
out at the mast-head in hopes ofdiscovering the boat. Giving
up all hope of Uniting the in inning boat,and becoming convinced
that it war. capslrcd In the tide-rip and the whole crew lost, I
put the brig on tbe course for I'tuenix Island, where we arrived
on the 17th of February. Left Phoenix l-d md on the 18th for

THE FRIEND.
JUNK 1, 1870.
Discipline on Board the Idaho and Ajax.
—We went to San I'rancisco on board the
Idaho, and returned per Ajax. Both vessels were under the command of Capt. Floyd.
We never witnessed better discipline on shipboard. There was no noise or confusion or
boisterous conduct. We do not remember
to have heard an order given during the
whole passage, everything was done so orderly and quietly. Passengers were made
to feel perfectly at home, and received every
attention from stewards and waiters. Capt.
F. sails the vessels under his command upon
t/w principles of nautical science, most attentively noting every change of wind and
current, together with barometrical and thermometries! changes. Capt. Floyd is an
honor to his profession, and we hope he may
long be retained on the steamers running between Honolulu and San Francisco.
A Kind Word for the Sailor.—How
pleasant it is to hear a shipmaster speak
kindly of his sailors. This was the case recently on the part of the commander of the
Puritan, Capt. Henry. He remarked to us
that not one of his men had been intoxicated
since coming into port, and that all worked
well and faithfully. We wonder if kindness
and good treatment do not have the same
influence upon sailors as upon otherlaborers.
We seldom hear the commanders of the
packets running between Honolulu and the
coast complain of their men. Some of them
we have known as sailing in these vessels
for years.
Remarkable Ship’s Cook.—On visiting
American ship Puritan, we were much
gratified with the excellent cabin and all the
internal arrangements of the ship, but especially with the man who had charge of the
caboose." We were somewhat surprized
"that
the Captain should feel inclined to introduce us particularly to his cook. Our
surprize ceased when we learned that our
colored friend was a good navigator, and
kept a regular ship's log, every day taking
the sun at noon, and making his calculations
as regularly and accurately as the master.
We noticed with much gratification that the
cook was furnished with a neat " state "
room, and had a well furnished library of
his own, including several books on navigation. We learned that he was a freedman
from Virginia, and that his father was a
Congo African slave, while his mother was
an Indian. It appears that when once upon
a voyage in the Atlantic, the master and
mate died. The second mate was a poor
navigator. After sailing without knowing
whither the ship was bound, they fell in with
another ship and obtained a navigator, who
conducted the ship to port. The cook then
resolved never to be thus caught again, and
immediately commenced the study of navigation.
(he
Distinguished Stranger.—We are glad
to welcome to our islands the Rev. Dr. Clark,
Foreign Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., and
successor of the Rev. Dr. Anderson. His
visit is partially for health,and also to confer
with the missionaries of the Board respecting
the prospects of the work of missions on these
islands and in Micronesia. He expects to
return by the next trip of the steamer.
The captain of an American vessel
bound for New York lately fell in with a deserted ship at sea, in the cabin of which was
found the body of a man about thirty years
of age, his head resting upon a box containing one hundred and sixty dollars in gold.

RUINS OF AN
OLDjABBEY
AT READING.
There is now a reality to antiquity, in our
mind, such as we never gave to it before. In
America, two centuries and a few more
years cover all our ruins, unless they are In-
dian remains, dateless and uncertain. Not
so when the visitor steps upon the shores of
the Old World. At the British Museum are
relics three thousand years old. Scattered all
over England are ruins and relics associated
with the people who lived many hundred
years ago. There is no doubt in regard to
the subject.
Such are the ruins of an abbey in the old
town of Reading. This abbey was founded
in A. D. 1121,and completed in 1125. Some
of its walls are still standing, covered with
ivy. It is in the centre of the city of Reading, and most creditable to the citizens, they
sacredly guard the old ruins. Originally the
abbey covered an area of half a mile in circumference. Enough remains to indicate
how extensive the buildings must have been.
As we wandered through its old halls and
apartments, but especially as we viewed the
old banqueting ball, and reflected upon the
character of its former inmates, we could not
but imagine what famous times the jolly old
monks and abbots must have had. When
Henry I. founded the abbey, he designed to
make provision for the accommodation of
two hundred Benedictine monks and the refreshment of travelers. It appears that Henry
destroyed three other abbeys for building this
of Reading. The reason for their destruction
was on account of their sins." We cannot
"
learn whether this was a good or bad institution, but we do find the following well aiir
thenticated incident reported respecting tha
visit of King Henry VIU. to this abbey ?

THE rft 11 N•, JINK, 1 Hlii
" Henry VIII. having been hunting in Wind-to
sor Forest, went down about dinner time
the Abbey of Reading, where disguising
himself as one of the King's guard, he was
invited to the abbot's table. Here, his tooth
being whetted by the keen air of the forest,
he fed so lustily on a sirloin of beef, that his
vigorous appetite was noticed by the master
of the ceremonies.
Well fare thy heart,' quoth the abbot.

■
feed so heartily on beef as thou dost. Alas!
my weak and squeazie stomach will hardly
digest the leg of a ntbbit or a wing of a
"'
chicken.' "
The monarch having satisfied his palate,
thanked the abbot for his good cheer, and
deported undiscovered. Some weeks afterwards the abbot was arrested, conveyed to
London, sent to the Tower, and allowed no
food but bread and water. This treatment,
together with the fears for the consequences
of the King's displeasure, soon removed the
effects of repletion, and at last, when a sirloin
was placed before him, he ate as freely as a
famished plowman. When he had finished
the meal, the King, who had been a hidden
spectator, burst from his concealment.
" My Lord," said the jolly and laughing
monarch, "pay your hundred pounds of gold,
or else no going hence all the days of your
life. I have been the physician to cure your
squeazie stomach, and as I deserve, 1 demand
my fee for so doing." The abbot, knowing
that argument was of no avail with the stern
Harry, paid the money, and returned home,
rejoicing that he had escaped so easily, and
no doubt a wiser and better man.
of the tower in the Castle, is one of surpassing beauty and loveliness. The Castle itself
is most renowned. Here has been the home
of English sovereigns ever since William
the Conqueror in the eleventh century, laid
its foundations. Subsequent kings and
queens have added to its strength and beauty.
The day before our visit the Queen had left
for another part of the Kingdom. Of late
Her Majesty has been entertaining at this renowned fortress the King of Belgium and
his suite. We have read daily reports of
the same in the Court Journal.
Opposite Windsor Castle, on the other side
of the Thames, is the famous " Eton " Grammar School, where so many sons of the nobility of England have been educated during
the last four or five hundred years. The
school was established in the reign of King
Henry VI., in the fifteenth century.
Our guide pointed in the distance to the
country churchyard where the poet Grey laid
the scene of his beautiful elegy,commencing,
a The curfew tolls the knell of parting day."
In an opposite direction he called our attention to the spot where the Merry Wives of
Windsor," according to Shakespeare, gave
Jack Falstaff a thorough ducking in the
"
Thames.
The more we wander about England,
either in city or country, the more are we impressed with the fact that we are treading
classic ground. With many a church and
street of London, and almost every country
village, is associated the name of some poet
or prose writer of eminence, while their
writings have rendered famous many a hill,
stream, town and forest otherwise of little

a fine collection of pointings of kings, queens
and the renowned of by-gone ages. A portrait of Mary Queen of Scots wus on exhibition, which has recently been discovered, and
which is much admired among the lovers of
the fine arts.
There are numerous relics and curiosities
which attract the visitor's attention, but not
one is viewed perhaps with more eager delight than the old iron lantern which Guy
Fawkes carried in his hand on that most
eventful sth of November, when he would
have blown up the Protestant Parliament of
England.
The Protestant visitor to Oxford will not
fail to seek out and view the monument
marking the spot where Ridley, Cranmerand
Latimer were burnt in front of Baliol College.
There are not only relics of a nature to
awaken the deepest religious emotions in the
visitor's mind, but also some which indicate
that study and devotion have not always
characterized the students and fellows of Oxford. In the " kitchen " of Queen's College
the old salver was exhibited upon which the
boar's head was served up, and also the
"drinking horn," gold mounted, which has
been carefully preserved, so says tradition,
for five hundred and twenty years.
Fixed and conservative as Oxford may
have been during by-gone ages, yet the spirit
of the age has invaded those old cloistered
walls. The question is now agitated of admitting young ladies to its privileges and
lectures. Other revolutions and changes are
in progress. The natural sciences now claim
a rank formerly denied to them. The sons
of Dissenters too claim its privileges, and if
they do not now, will soon walk its corridors
in equality with the sons of Churchmen.
The world moves, and old universities must
bend or be swept away. The spirit of the
age marches onward with a firm and resolute
step.
"Pari* Seen through American Spectncles."
*
We recollect to have read some years ago
a most interesting volume with the foregoing
title, written by J. J. Jarves, Esq., whose
writings are so well known at the islands.
His descriptions were vivid and truthful.
We little imagined when we perused his
pages that the privilege would ever be afforded us of verifying their accuracy by personal observation. Nearly a generation has
passed away since Mr. Jarves looked out
upon sights, scenes and people in this gay
metropolis of France, yet we are now witnessing essentially the same panorama of
human life, bustle and gaiety.
We left London under the shadow of darkness on the evening of December 3d, and as
the morning dawned we entered Paris, having passed over the road from London to
�Dover, crossing the channel to Calais. When
the dawning light enabled us to look forth,
we saw not the green fields and vine-clad
hills of France, as we had fondly imagined would be our privilege, but as far as the
eye could reach the whole country robed
in a mantle of the purest white. Not having seen a similar sight since leaving New
York for Honolulu jn December, 1851, or
eighteen years ago, it made a deep impression upon the mind. It continued to snow
all day, hence our first impression of the gay
city of Paris is quite different from what we
had anticipated. Storm though it might, we
could not remain in our hotel, but forth we
sallied, and as we were so fortunate as to
find an island friend, Judge A., in the city,
who was willing to encounter with us a
storm of snow, we walked farther and saw
more on the first day of our arrival that we
had any reason to expect. We had not gone
far before being favorably impressed with the
fine appearance of the city. Its open squares,
broad avenues, spacious boulevards, straight
streets, excellent sidewalks, and general aspect, indicated that this was indeed "no
mean city."
Without any special design on our part,
we found ourselves in the most beautiful
part of the city—the " Place dc la concorde,"
bounded on one side by Camps Elysees, and
on another by the garden of the Tuileries,
while in the centre stands that most remarkable curiosity of Ancient Egypt, the famous
obelisk which Mehcmet Ali presented to
Louis Philippe, and which was transported
to Paris in 1833 at an immense cost of something like 2,000,000 francs, or 8400,000. It
is covered of course with Egyptian hieroglyphics, and rises to the height of about
100 feet. The height of the obelisk itself is
72 feet, composed of one solid mass of reddish granite. While gazing upon this wonderful object of historic interest, our companion informed us that it stands upon the identical spot where nearly eighty years ago the
guillfttine stood, upon which from January
21, 1793, to May 3, 1795, more than two
thousand and eight persons perished ; and if
we have been correctly informed, Louis XVI.
was executed on the same spot. In view of
such historic associations, we were ready to
exclaim, " O that this snowy mantle might
forever rest upon the spot and cover the guilt
of those who perpetrated so many deeds of
darkness and blood."
Returning from our walk, we entered the
Louvre, and there for two or three hours we
wandered from room to room, hall to hall,
gallery- to gallery, viewing portraits, battle
scenes, landscapes; ancient and modern
specimens of sculpture and statuary ; relics
and curiosities from Egypt, Nineveh, Greece,
Rome, America, India, China, and almost
Is. 0
every part of the globe. We walked until
wearied and the shades of evening were
gathering, but many rooms and apartments
we left unexplored and unvisited. Among
the interesting rooms none exceeded the one
named
Napoleon.
There were a multitude of relics, curios, articles of furniture, war instruments, guns, pistols, swords, books, and numberless articles
which belonged to Napoleon I. There was
not only his chapeau, but even his common
hat worn at St. Helena, and the handkerchief that he carried. There were medals,
his watch, saddle, bridle, and "other things
too numerous to mention." All are most
carefully enclosed in glass cases, and most
sacredly guarded. A police officer or soldier is always in attendance.
On certain days of the week this vast
museum is open to the public. It was interesting to see numerous painters copying
beautiful paintings as they hung upon the
walls, and also young students carefully
studying noble specimens of ancient statuary.
Although the day was far from propitious
for sight seeing, we returned well satisfied
with our first day's excursion in this city,
and let not our readers imagine that we have
fully described all we this day observed.
Sabbath in Paris. —This was the second
day of our sojourn in Paris. The day was
clear and bright, but very cold. The snow
melted but slightly on the sidewalks,although
numbers of laborers were employed to remove
it. Our steps were early tending towards
the American chapel, where the Rev. Mr.
Robinson officiates. This chapel is under
the patronage and control of the American
and Foreign Evangelical Society. The
church is well located,and finished in a neat
and most comfortable style. It is such a
church edifice as our countrymen have no
reason to be ashamed of. There gathered an
audience of some three or four hundred.
The assembly, preacher and preaching were
decidedly American. Mr. R. has a fine
voice, and preached an excellent sermon from
Hebrews 9:13, 14. If his sermon on this occasion is to be taken as his general style of
preaching, then surely the pulpit of the
American chapel in Paris is true to the great
doctrines of Evangelical religion. There
are several other places of Protestant worship
in Paris in the English language, viz: the
English church, Wesleyan and American
Episcopal.
In the afternoon we visited the renowned
church of Notre Dame, where so recently
Father Hyncinthe preached before he left for
America. On the present occasion, the
preacher's name we were informed was—
David. His sermon, or discourse, was delivered after the usual exercises were closed.

Father David spoke in a most animated and
eloquent manner. His voice was clear, full
and sonorous, and appeared to fill the immense building, and resounded from the
vaulted roof of the lofty cathedral. His dis
course related principally to the Virgin Mary,
although a portion referred to the imitation
of Christ's example.
Notre Dame, historically and architecturally, is one of the most noted church edifices, not only of France, but of the world.
It stands upon an island in the Seine. If
Gothic architecture is suited to aid devotion
and the public worship of Jehovah, then
those congregating at Notre Dame are peculiarly favored. The service was performed
on this occasion by a bishop andabout twenty
priests, with numerous attendants.
As we walked the streets, the general appearance was that of a week day, except
some few stores were closed, and these we
were informed belonged to Protestants. From
the newspapers we learn that the theatres
and all places of amusement were open as on
other days and evenings. Such a state of
things upon the Sabbath is surely in strong
contrast with Protestant England, which we
had just left, and where we had spent four
Sabbaths—one in Liverpool, two in London,
and one in the country, about thirty miles
west of London. We can confidently assert,
in no part of the world have we ever seen
the external observance of the Sabbath more
as it should be than as we witnessed it in
Old England. Long may she continue a
Protestant and Sabbath keeping nation.
A DAY DEVOTED TO SIGHT-SEEING.
We have enjoyed one more day for viewing this city through our "American spectacles." It has been improved in viewing the
city from the summit of the"Arch of Triumph," and in visiting the Imperial LibraryThe Triumphal Arch, or "Arc dc Triurnphe dc Etoile," is regarded as one of the
most magnificent structures of the world. It
stands in an elevated part of the city, and
from it, as a centre, twelve broad avenues
radiate. The beholder viewing these thronged
avenues, gets a tolerably correct idea of the
magnitude of this great city of 2,000,000 inhabitants. This grand arch was begun by
the first Napoleon in 1806, and after thirty
years was completed by Louis Philippe in
1836. It is 156 feet high, and built after
the style of the triumphal arches of Ancient
Rome. We believe this was copied after the
Arch of the Emperor Trajan. It is covcretl
with inscriptions and various devices, setting
forth the glory of France and Napoleon I.
In one representation a crown is in the act
of being placed upon his head.

residing in Paris. This gentleman, we would
add, is the author of an interesting publication in Paris relating to the Hawaiian Islands, entitled, Catalogue D'Ouvrages, re"
latifs aux Isles Hawaii; Essai dc Bibliographic Hawaiienne, par William Martin."
This work was published in Paris in 1867,
and is well calculated to give European
scholars a favorable impression of books relating to these islands. The work conesponds to that of Mr. Pease as published in
the Friend for May, 1862, and Jas F. Hunnewell, Esq., as published in Boston in 1869.
Mr. Martin appears to take most- lively interest in things relating to these islands.
We found him to be a man of scholarship,
culture and much general information, and
our only regret at parting was that our short
sojourn in Paris did not enable us to profit
more fully by the gratifying offers of assistance which he so generously proffered. Such
public officers are much prized by travelers
in search ofreliable information.

highly favored. Humboldt remarks,
somewhere in his Comos, that a person
who once resides in the land of thp palm
and banana, if he roams abroad, will always
sigh to return. There is a certain indescribable something in the waving of a palm, the
shade of a mango and tamarind tree, the
gentle and balmy fanning of the trade wind,
the clear blue sky,and the free and easy social
life, which renders a residence in the tropics
most inviting and bewitching, if it is a little
enervating and predisposing to indolence.
Then too there is a cordiality among the
people, and absence of those conventionalities
which make one feci in a colder latitude, as
if " hedged in." We have always liked
Honolulu, and pleased with a residence on
the Hawaiian Islands. We like the people.
There is something peculiarly pleasing in
an Hawaiian's salutation, "Aloha." The
Rev. Dr. Anderson remarks in his book on
the Hawaiian Islands, "And that word Aloha
is their characteristic word. If they have
not words to express some of the greater
ideas, they certainly have a word expressing
one of the sweetest, richest sentiments of the
human heart—Aloha. It means love to
you. I never wearied with the repetition,
though I repeated it a thousand times."
As for the foreigners, we like them too,
and among them we have always found a
cordial welcome, whether residing in Honolulu or elsewhere upon the islands. We feel
most
gratified that "our Notes and Reflections
while passing along through the Old and
New World " should have found so many
appreciative readers. While writing, it was
pleasant to feel one's self in communication
with so many old friends and constant readers of the J<Hend. We find on our return
that our materials gleaned during our wanderings in foreign lands have not been entirely exhausted in what has already been
published, hence we shall continue to serve
our readers with a few more nombers, and
shall endeavor so to enliven these sketches
that they may be as much interested in
what may follow as in what has already
been published.
During our fourteen months' absence we
have safely traveled one-half the distance
around the globe, and all the Way by steam,
except from Jaffa to Jerusalem, only thirtyfive miles. This was performed on horseback. The facilities for travel are exceedingly pleasant and agreeable. One has only
to place himself on the line of conveyance,
and he is borne along with astonishing rapidity, whether on land or sea. Comparatively
few are the accidents, while the delights are
abundant. We will not now dwell upon the
benefits attending foreign travel.
We shall hope each one of our readers
will realize the enjoyment of the request expressed in the Shakesperian motto heading
our Notes and Reflections."

Editor’s Table.
The editor rejoices to find himself once
more seated at his own table. It is the same
identical table upon which he has written
editorials and book notices since 1843 ! This
table is surmounted with a very plain mahogany writing desk, of not much value, and
yet it has a history of some interest. It once
was, the property of the Rev. Samuel J.
Mills, the friend of Obookiah, whose visit to
America, sixty years ago, was an important
link in that chain of providences which led
to the establishment of the American Mission on these islands in 1820. The efforts
of Mills in behalf of these islands have become historic, although he never came hither.
In the Providence of God, he went as associate with the Rev. Dr. Burgess, now living in Dedham, Mass., to the western const
of Africa, for the purpose of selecting a site
for the colony of Liberia. They were successful. This desk upon which we are now
writing went to Africa fifty years ago, but
upon it we have written editorials ever since
commencing the publication of the Fr'nud.
Now whenever any publisher or friend
feels inclined to lay upon our tabic any
new publication—book or pamphlet—we
shall notice the same, so far as our limits
will allow.
Muhic-Hall Sermon*. By Key. W. H. H. Murray,
Pastor of Park Street Church. Boston fields,
Osgood & Co. 1870.
:
This volume was handed to us the morning we left San Francisco in Bancroft's new
book-store, Market street. Firstly, we will refer to the book-store, and secondly, to thebook.
The Book-store. Bancroft & Co. formerly kept in Montgomery street, and we
believe still keep their old store open for the
sale of stationery. They intend, however,
to centre their operations in the book trade
in a new store in Market street, near the
Bible House. They have erected a fine
building, and are fitting it up in a style bespeaking taste, elegance and abundance of
means. Under the same roof there will be
an apartment for the sale of books, another
for printing, another for binding, and still
another for engraving. Besides, in the upper
story is to be located the Pacific Library.
This is one of the best collections of books
relating to the Pacific. It is becoming every
year more and more valuable, and the firm
spares no reasonable expense to add to the
collection.
The Book, —It contains twelve sermons preached in Music Hall, and printed
as delivered. Such as
topics
are discussed : The tenderness of God—The
union of moral forces—To young men—Divine friendship—The power of great cities—
The moral condition of Boston ; and how to
bo improved
—
Having heard much of the peculiarities
and eccentricities of the author, we were exceedingly glad to fall in with this volume of
sermons. The style is smart, crispy and
taking. Old truths are presented in a new
dress. The old method of divisions and subdivisions is abandoned. The preacher appears to be thoroughly Orthodox (of course
the pastor of Park Street Church and successor of Griffin should be,) and yet there is
a certain something about the sermons which
is very peculiar. He seems to preach, as we
heard one of Mr. Murray's friends remark,
half truth*. Spurgeon, for example, preaches
" the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth," to employ an expression of the
Judge. Murray preaches the truth, but it is
after his fashion. We are not surprised,
however, that the common people hear him
gladly. We have space for only a single example, from the sermon on " Burden Bearing."

is a vast gulf of change,—let us hope,
of progress. The tide ahead runs with whirling swiftness, and the air is full of drifting
spray and patches of froth. Those who sail
the future must beat their way up in the
teeth of the tempest. Men and women that
stand erect under such pressure as awaits
the next generation will stand because of
some other reason than that they are churchmembers, or because they arc restrained by
the fear of public opinion. God alone knows
what public opinion will be forty years from
this. Such as stand will stand because they
are strong in themselves. They will stand,
as the granite pillar stands, because it is
weighty and ponderous, and set upon a wellsecured pedestal. I have no faith in a virtue
strong only in crutches and props, which topples over the instant friendly outside support
is withdrawn. The soul that is virtuous only
because of the absence of temptation is not
virtuous at all; but the soul that looks en-
ticut. The writer's reputation as a successful missionary and writer is well known in
China, California and the Sandwich Islands.
He visited our islands about twelve years
ago, and awakened a deep and abiding interest in behalf of the Chinese, while his efforts on the Pacific coast in the same cause
were most timely and efficient. He was
editor of that unique newspaper, published
in San Francisco, entitled the Oriental,
printed in both the Chinese and English languages ; hence the Rev. Dr. Speer brings to
the preparation of this work rare accomplishments. It ha* been our privilege to examine
several parts of the book, now being stereotyped in the city of Philadelphia. We do
not hesitate to endorse the book as most opportune, and exactly fitted to meet the popular demand for reliable information respecting the people of the " Middle Kingdom," or
the Flowery Land, or to employ the language
of Scripture, the inhabitants of " the land of
Senim."
Some parts of the work have particularly
attracted our attention, viz: Chapter 14,
America's relations withChina; Chapter 22,
" the glory of America ; Chapter 23, the
future of the Chinese race."
In glancing through the pages of this work,
we have been particularly struck with the
skillful and felicitous interweaving of mate-

rials, gathered from a great variety of
sources—history, commerce, missionary periodicals, personal observation, and the Chinese themselves. The work is entitled:

Have Courage to Say “No.”
Yon're starting to-day on life's journey
Along on the highway of life ;
Yon'll meet with a thousand temptations,
Each city with evil is rife.
This world is a stage of excitement,
There's danger wherever you go ;
But if you are tempted in weakness,
Have courage, my boy, to say so.
The siren's sweet song may aliure you ;
Beware of her canning and art;
Whenever you see her approaching,
Be guarded, and haste to depart.
The billiard saloons are inviting,
Decked out in their tinsel and show ;
You may be invited to enter ;
Have courage, my boy, to say no.
:
The bright ruby wine may be offered
No matter how tempting it be,
From poison that stings like an adder,
My boy, have the courage to flee.
The gambling halls are before you,
Their lights, how they dance to and fro !
If yon should be tempted to enter,
Think twice, even thrioe, ere you go.
In courage alone lies your safety,
When you the long journey begin,
And trust in a heavenly Father
Will keep you unspotted from sin.
Temptations will go on increasing,
As streams from a rivulet flow,
But ifyou are true to your manhood.
Have the courage, my boy, to say no.
Everybody's Paper.

Mr. Aheong’s Request.
Many of our readers are well acquainted
with Mr. S. P. Aheong and his labors among
the Chinese on these islands, under the
patronage of the Hawaiian Board. His engagement has terminated, and he has sailed
for China with his family. At-the weekly
prayer-meeting at the Bethel, Wednesday
evening, May 25th, he made a short address
in English, as follows :
this will be the last time I shall
" Perhaps
to you. I expect a ship from Califorspeak
nia to take me to China. I came sixteen
years ago as one of the lower class of laborers. I was a heathen man, but I learned
about God, and the Saviour. Now I go back
to see my father and mother, grand-parents
and brothers and sisters. They all heathen,
and know nothing about God and our Saviour. 1 want to tell them about our Saviour.
I want to see my parents once more. Perhaps 1 come back. God knows; I don't
know. I want you to pray for me and for
my countrymen. There are 1,500 in this
country, and more come this year, perhaps
two or three hundred.- They come heathen
men. I hope, brothers and sisters o» this
church, you will pray for me, and the millions of my countrymen in China. I go and
tell them of our Saviour."
After this manner Aheong addressed us,
and we assured him that he would not be
forgotten. We would commend him and his
family to the praying people, both foreign
and native, throughout these islands. He
virtually goes as .our Christian missionary to
China. We regard it as a high honor to the
Hawaiian churches to be able to send back
to that great nation one whose views are so
thoroughly Christian and enlightened. Wherever his lot is cast, we feel fully confident
that he will prove a true witness for Christ
in " the uttermost part of the earth."—Acts
1:8. Mr. Aheong also expressed the hope
that Christians on the islands would labor to
teach his countrymen the truths of Christianity. Here is a field of labor, the importance
of which cannot be over-estimated. The
heathen have literally come to our very doors,
and ask to be taught the way of life and
salvation. It is a hopeful field. The past
should encourage us to go forward. Something must immediately be done to sustain
the school (or leaching Chinese in English.
It has been taught by Mr. Dunscombeat the
Bethel vestry, under Mr. Aheong's supervision. Now is the time to take some efficient action in the matter, in order that the
labors of Mr. Aheong during (lie last eighteen
months may not be lost.
Efforts in Behalf of the Chinese in
California.—lt was gratifying 1to learn from
personal observation that much is doing in
California in the way of teaching the Chinese the English language and the great
principles of chrisiianity. On the Bth of
May—Sabbath—we were present at the Chinese Sabbath-school in the Ist Congregational church of San Francisco (the Rev.
Dr. Stone's church.) About 250 Chinese
were in attendance, and were arranged in
classes from two to four or five. They were
taught the simple rudiments of English by
volunteer teachers, both mf>le and female.
We were glad to learn that other evangelical
churches on the Coast were engaged in the
same work, and with gratifying success. This
in addition to the Chinese Mission under the
Key. Mr. Loomis, formerly a missionary in
China. He preaches at the Chinese chnpel,
erected by the Rev. Dr. Speer some eighteen
years ago.

and eventually to realise In Christ an all-sufficient Saviour.

"The Trans-Continental."—This is the
title of a small daily sheet, published on
board the cars running on the Overland Pacific Railroad. We would acknowledge No.
6, from J. F. Hunnewell, Esq., one of the
Boston Party recently visiting San Francisco. It is dated " Summit Sierra Nevada,
May 31." The sheet is beautifully printed,
and we copy as follows :—
—Early this morning, as we ascended the
Sierras, we encountered quite a snow storm,
a new incident in our trip. In Summit Valley forty-two feet of snow has fallen during
a winter, and eight feet has been known to
fall in a single storm. In crossing these
mountains we pass thirteen tunnels cut
through granite rock—the longest 1,680 feet
—and through about thirty miles of snow
sheds, timbered as heavily as a line-of-battle
ship. " Cape Horn," and the view downthe
American River Valley, added a majestic
climax, full of grandeur and beauty, and
after rising 3,000 feet, and descending 7,000
feet, we shall reach Sacramento, the capital
of California.
HO' Since writing the above paragraphs,
we have received a private letter from Mr.
Hunnewell, from which we take the liberty
to quote as follows :—

The day was truly a holiday to all classes
in Honolulu. The Government offices were
closed. The Legislature adjourned. The
stores and shops were deserted. Such as did
not seek amusement in the country, found
it at various gatherings in town. At the
residence of the American Minister a sumptuous table was spread, from 12 to 1 o'clock,
under the shade of the beautiful trees, where
all so inclined, including the officers of the
Hawaiian Government, resorted to pay their
respects. Then followed a gathering at the
residence of the American Consul, where, in
addition to the usual collation, Mrs. Adamson received the ladies, and her husband, the
Consul, delivered an appropriate and eloquent address which, we hope, will be published. As he is a native of Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania, he could speak, with propriety, of old revolutionary times. The children's pic-nic, up the valley, at the residence
of Mrs. Paty, was a grand success. The
•' old folks" were as much delighted as the
"young folks." The day was charming, so
that with a good entertainment, music,
marching, and a few speeches, the occasion
passed off to the delight of all.

Leaving Paris on the evening of December 7th, the next morning found us almost
within sight of the Alps, coursing our way
rapidly towards Italy, via Mt. Cenis. We
took breakfast at Culoz, some forty miles
south of Geneva. It is a region of vineyards.
We saw some fields which had been planted
with Indian corn. The high and precipitous
mountains, the narrow valleys, and general
aspect of the country often reminded us of
some of the vast and broken lava regions of
Maui and Hawaii. The day was uncommonly clear and beautiful, though rather cold.
About noon we passed through the village
of Aignebelle, where many of the inhabitants are afflicted with the goitre, or a swelling of the throat on account, it is reported,
of the water. In passing we only saw one
man thus afflicted, but bis caa* indicated
what might be the condition of others. Onward we passed at a rapid speed until we
reached a place called St. Michel, where the
real ascent of the Alps commences. The
distance across is seventy-two miles to Suza.
At St. Michel we exchanged cars, taking
only one car, to be drawn by a single powerful engine. There were only som« twenty
passengers; all were placed in this small
car, and by a new and peculiar kind of machinery, aided by a third rail, the car is
drawn up declivities, or grades, such as were
perfectly astonishing to myself who had never
seen R. R. trains passing up a grade exceeding, perhaps, 80 feet to the mile. We will
not pretend to assert what the grade per mile
is on the Alps ; but suffice, the track is laid
parallel with the common road for carriages.
It follows that road, no matter how short the

curves may be, or steep the ascent. All we
can say upon the subject is, that this species
of railroad travel was absolutely marvellous
We ascended and descended at the rate of
12 miles per hour, making the trip across in
six hours.
A person who has not crossed the Alps by
the Mt. Cenis Pass,ran form but a faint idea
of the difficulties of the undertaking to construct a railroad through this region of the
Alps. The celebrated " Cape Horn," on the
Sierra Nevada mountains, we thought was
sufficiently frightful; but that was nothing
compared with many on this route.
Tourists and writers—in prose and verse,
have for ages been describing the beauties
and grandeur of Alpine scenery ; but the
theme is not exhausted ; neither will it be
so long as the traveler sees "Alps on Alps
arise." On our journey over the Sierra Nevada, and Rocky mountains, and among
the Alleghanies, we saw much beautiful and
grand mountain scenery, but all combined
does not equal the scenery on the route
through which we have just passed. One
writer has asserted that the scenery on the
Italian side of the Atys even surpasses that
on the Savoy side: however that may be,
we cannot decide from personal observation,
for we made the descent in the darkness of
night, and in the face of a driving snow-
o.
To-day, December 9th, we passed down
the valley leading from Suza to Turin. The
sides of the mountains are covered with
vineyards wherever the absolute steepness of
the mountains does not prevent the people
from obtaining a foot-hold. The interval
between the mountains is very level, and
must be exceedingly rich. We have seen
no waste land thus far in Italy. We have
been spending the day in viewing places of
historic interest in Turin. This was formerly the capital, in the days of Charles
Albert, and subsequently during the early
part of the reign of Victor Emmanuel. The
king's palace remains as he left it when the
court removed to Florence. Certainly a palace, most beautifully built and fitted up, is
a most sad and melancholy place, wh«n there
are no royal personages to occupy it. We
have this day wandered through the desolate
mansion. The apartments are most beautifully arranged and gorgeously adorned. A
military guard is still on duty, but visitors
are allowed to wander from room to room,
and view the gilded apartments. The palace
joins the Cathedral which was formerly most
handsomely ornamented, and decorated with
paintings.
During our brief stay in Turin, we called
upon the Rev. Mr. Malan, pastor of a Protestant congregation of about 200 Italians
and
Waldensians. He preaches in ■ finl

It is to be eight miles in length. At the

We reached Suza at nine o'clock and remained there all night. Suza is the ancient
town of Segusium. There we found a
Roman arch in a good state of preservation.
It was erected eight years before the
Christian era, in honor ofAugustus, by order
of a Roman prefect; it is about fifty feet
high, and forty wide. There it has stood
for 1880 years, and we see no reason why it
may not stand as many more years—those

taken from its parents by the authority of
the "Church " law, and the emissaries of
Rome refused to deliver up the child, when
prosecuted before the civil tribunals. The
result was a long and unsatisfactory trial.
The inquisitor was imprisoned, but refusing
to make any disclosures, he was finally released on the plea, that he acted under the
authority of the grand inquisitor and the
Pope. In view of such facts, no wonder the
common people of Italy rejoiced when the
ecclesiastical law was abolished. We saw a
pillar erected in one of the public squares of
Turin, commemorative of the abolition of
ecclesiastical law. On the sides of the pillar were the names of the cities and towns
of Italy which contributed to defray the expense of erecting the same.
In visiting the church of St. Petronio, we
were much interested in viewing, upon the
floor of the edifice, "Meridian Line," which
was placed there in 1655 by the astronomer,
Cassini, the guomon which throws the shadow being 80 feet high. This singular specimen of astronomical work is imbedded in
the floor of the church in marble ; upon it
are inscribed the signs of the zodiac. The
" Line " crosses the church floor somewhat
diagonally.
It was in this church that Charles Y. was
crowned Emperor of Spain, and all the countries attached to that renowned kingdom.
This ceremony took place in 1530, Pope
Clement VII. officiating. There is a most
curious work of art in one of the apartments
of this church. It is that of a bas-relief of
Joseph and Potiphar's wife, wherein the
famous lady sculptor has seen fit to introduce
her own portrait and that of her lover. Her
name was Proporzia-di-Rossi.
The University of Bologna was formerly
among the most renowned in all Europe.
We visited the buildings, and took a melancholy interest in wandering through the
famous library of 200,000 volumes. We are

And we launch our frail barks on yon crystal sea,
When nearing the shores of that home glorified.

IWemorial Discourse.—This discourse
was delivered by the Key. James B. Miles,
pastor of the first parish church, Charlestown,
Mass., and is commemorative of Mrs. S.
L. Hunnewell, widow of the late Captain
James Hunnewell. This friend of Oahu
College, and of Hawaiians, died May 2nd,
1869, and the death of his beloved wife followed on the 20th of February, 1870. If
Mr. Hunnewell had survived a few months
longer, their golden wedding would have been
celebrated ; but now both have passed away.
They were long united in their lives, and in
death they were not divided. It was our
privilege to enjoy the hospitality of Mrs.
Hunnewell's pleasant home, in Charlestown,
and experience much kindness at her hands.
In that household, topics relating to these
islands were the constant theme of discussion and conversation. The names of places
and people were as familiar to Mr. and Mrs.
Hunnewell, as to residents in Honolulu.
Both lived to a good old age, and were gathered to their fathers in peace. This discourse is a beautiful tribute to Mrs. Hunnewell's many virtues and excellences. A
similar discourse was delivered by the same
reverend gentleman and scholnrly divine, at
the funeral of Mr. Hunnewell
It will be
remembered that Mr. Hunnewell was second
officer on board the brig, " Thaddeus," in
1820, which brought the pioneer missionaries to these islands, and was the person who
first announced to the missionaries, that the
Tabus were broken, and idolatry abolished.
Rev. Richard Croker.—We were glad
to form the acquaintance of this gentleman,
who is chaplain on board H. B. M. S. I'iffey,
one of the ships of the Flying Squadron. It
was gratifying to find our own views and
methods of laboring among seamen so exactly to harmonize with one who is now
senior chaplain in the British navy, and who
will retire at the close of the present cruise.
We listened to a sermon which he preached
in the English Church, and found in doctrinal views he followed in the footsteps of
Romaine, Thomas Scott, Leigh Richmond,
Simeon, Newton, and thst goodly company
of evangelical clergymen who have preached
within the fold of the English Church. In
regard to seamen, he labors to keep them
supplied with useful and entertaining reading matter during their long voyage. While
at Melbourne and other places in the Colonies, he called for books, periodicals, Sec,

These words of the Psalmist came forcibly
to mind as I stood on Mount Zion, contemplating the present condition of Jerusnlem
and its environs, and contrasting the same
with the former glory and splendor of "this
city of our God, in the mountain of his holi-
ness,"—" Walk about Zion and go round
about her; tell the towers thereof; mark yo
well her bulwarks." As I stood there reflecting, as did the historian Gibbon, when
he sat amid the ruins of Rome, and recalled
the decline and fall of the Roman Empire,
it required no very vivid stretch of the imagination to adorn Mount Morinh once more
with the temple of Solomon, the most costly
and magnificent structure of the old world.
I seemed to see Jerusalem, as in the days of
her glory and splendor, when the Queen of
Sheba visited Israel's King, and found that
the half had not been told her respecting the
wisdom of the King, the richness, splendor
and magnificence of his court and palace, in
which there was " a throne of ivory overlaid
with pure gold ;" where, in the language of
the sacred historian, " all the earth sought
to Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God
had put in his heart, and they brought every
man his present, vessels of silver and vessels
of gold, and garments, and armour, and
spices, horses and mules, rate year by year.
And when the King made silver to be in
Jerusalem as stones." Alas, "how hath
the gold become dim, and the most fine gold
changed." 1 reflected, too, upon the glory
and splendor of this city of the great King,
even in the days of our Saviour, when that
famous temple was in existence, which was
"forty and six years" in building. This
latter was the temple in which our Saviour
preached, and respecting which he prophecied that one .none should not be left upon
another, which should not be thrown down.
During my sojourn I walked about the ancient
city and marked her bulwarks. I considered her palaces. I contemplated the holy
city from several points of observation. I

respecting the identity of the spot. On
Mount Zion itself stands a tower or castle,
called the "Tower of David." On ascending
that tower, from its lofty battlements, a panoramic view may easily be taken of the city
and the surrounding country. To the west
stretch far away the barren and treeless hills
of Judea. On the cast rises the ever memorable Mount of Olives, from the summit
of which our divine Saviour ascended to
heaven. While nearer, and within the city
walls, is Mount Moriah, upon which once
stood the temple of Solomon, but where now
is to be seen the Mosque of Omah. What

hallowed spots ? Centuries have rolled
away and generations have come and gone,
yet there remain the same Mounts. It was
pleasant, but sad, to look forth upon
these consecrated sites, where once stood so
many grand edifices. While everywhere I
found much to interest, instruct and impress
the thoughtful and reflective mind, there
was one spot which, in a special manner,
arrested my attention. I refer to that street
running along the walls of the ancient foundations of Solomon's temple. There, on
every Friday, for centuries, have congregated
the descendants of Abraham, to lament and
wail over the desolation and ruins of the
temple, and the sad profanation now reigning there, in consequence of the Mohammedans who have erected a mosque on the
spot where once stood Solomon's temple.
There I witnessed the tears of the wailing
Jews, and listened to their sad complaints.
No one looking upon their sorrowful countenances could doubt their sincerity, or fail to
to be impressed by their flowing tears.
of their temple, ' in the
" At theof destruction
another, broke forth a wail' from
words
the hapless Jews, more sad than any their
own sorrows had ever occasioned. It was
repeated in desolate Galilee and wild Judea ;
in the distant synagogues of Alexandria and
Rome. It has never ceased. It still breaks
forth from every Jewish heart; and the
most touching spectacle of Modern Jerusalem
is that of the cowering Israelites amidst the
brutality of Turkish soldiers and the mockeries of Armenian boys, wailing over the
crumbling foundations of what was once the
most hallowed of earthly shrines." Oh !
how mysterious and unaccountable the fate
of the Jew, when viewed from any other
stand-point than that of their ancient prophecies ! They are still God's chosen people,
and most surely it must be a part of his
great plan and purpose, in regard to his once
peculiar and chosen people, that they should
be thus kept a separate nation. Their present existence as a kingdom without a king,
and a nation without any visible organization, is one of those standing miracles which
ought to confound the infidel and silence the
sceptic in Divine Revelation. Surely, something rich and glorious must still be in store
for the descendants of Abraham. Not a few
eminent divines of even the present day
hold to the opinion, that they are yet to be
gathered once more in Palestine. This is
one of the questions which much interested
me during all my journeyings, not only while
in the sacred city, but through the Orient,
for you meet the Jews everywhere, ming
ling among the nations, yet separate from
them. Not more strange would have been
the fact for certain drops of water, as they
were cast into the ocean centuries ago, to
have remained separate and distinct; hence
the peculiar interest which attaches itself to
the Jewish people. There is no such spot
on earth as Jerusalem. There dwelt David
and the long line of kings. There our Saviour spent the most eventful portion of his
life, and there he was finally crucified, and
there the Jew prayed " let Him be crucified,
iind his blood be on us and our children."
May it not be that God has answered that
prayer? May it not be that the sorrows and
sufferings of the Jews for eighteen centuries
arc "really owing to the fearful part which
their ancestors took in the rejection and cru- hymn commencing with the following
cifixion of our Lord ? Such thoughts come stanza :

Wherever Christians have become sufficiently numerous to organize a Christian
Church, there is Zion. Under these cir-

Was there any tendency among Christians of
various sects and denominations, for greater
union and harmony? Have the minds of
Christians real grounds for the belief that
the Gospel will become universally spread
abroad? Is the cause of domestic and
foreign missions upon an increase or decline ?
What is the state and condition of schools
and colleges ? To obtain reliable information upon all these topics, 1 have attended
upon the preaching of the ministers of
various denominations, both orthodox and
heterodox ; I have visited numerous schools,
colleges and universities, from those of the
humblest and most primary, to the old and
venerable Oxford and Cambridge of Old
England ; I have made the acquaintance,
when visiting lands bordering on the Mediterranean Sea, of missionaries of various
societies, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Congregational, Jewish, and nlso made the
acquaintance of some ecclesiastics of the
Romish Church, the Coptic. Church, and the
Jews. 1 have sought information not only
from the friends of Gospel truth, but even
from her enemies; believing with the old
Roman poet, that " truth may be obtained
from an enemy."
I can hardly describe to you the pleasure
derived from listening to so many preachers,
some o( them now occupying the first rank
as orators and divines, including a Spurgeon,
a Beechcr, u Cummings, a Barnes, and
many others of lesser fame, but perhaps of
equal usefulness. I listened to these men,
not merely as noted preachers, but as the
representatives of a large class or number of
earnest and successful preachers, who are
labouring in their respective spheres, and
preaching, in their respective pulpits, the
Such a conclusion is utterly absurd ; scores
of those sects hold the essential truths of the
Gospel. They agree on many more points
than they differ. Yes, I honestly believe
there is an increasing unity among all true
Christians. There is a drawing together, a
gradual advance towards union upon all the
essentials of ChrUtianity. The signs of the
times are hopeful to one who walks about
Zion, ready to recognize the followers of
Christ wherever he may find them, although
not of his particular sect and denomination.
Prejudice, bigotry and sectarianism are
giving place to more enlarged, noble and
correct views of Christian life and duty. 1
entertain no idea that all Christians will be
united under one banner. 1 see no good
and sufficient reason why they should. They
may agree to disagree, and still " hold the
unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
This is what they are doing more and more.
In my walks about Zion, and in a contemof her bulwarks and palaces, I think
can discern the dawning of a better and a
brighter day. 1 see the working of moral
forces which must eventually bring about
a far more desirable stute of affairs
in church and state. 1 was hopeful for
the future as I stood on the Mount of
Olives, and read the narrative of our Saviour's last interview with his disciples.
I was hopeful for the future as I stood
on Mars' Hill, and heard read the sermon of Paul, as recorded in the 17th of Acts.
I was hopeful for the future whenever I met
Christian missionaries and earnest Christians of any sect or denomination who were
labouring, each in his own way, to build up
Zion. " More are they who are for us than
those who arc against us." I considered, in
flatiou
my walks, how wonderfully God can make
the wrath of man to praise Him, and how
successfully God can, through the aid of
His people, pull down the kingdom of
Satan, and upon its ruins erect u Kingdom
to His praise. From the ruins of the Colosseum have been taken the materials to build
many a Christian temple. Just so, I see
that God is pulling down the strongholds of
Satan's empire, and causing to be erected
upon its ruins a temple more glorious than
the Colosseum or the Parthenon, or St.
Peter's or St. Paul's. In walkingabout Zion,
it requires no very penetrating effort of the
human mind, under a Divine influence, to
discern that Cod is now causing towers and
bulwarks to bo erected around his spiritual
Zion, against which the gates of hell shall
not prevail. 1 have no fears for the future.
The spirit of trade, commerce and science, is
potent, and often antagonistic to the spirit of
the Gospel, but I do know that God is able
to shape and control that spirit in such a
manner, that the influence of commerce and
science will contribute to the upbuilding of
that Kingdom which shall never be destroyed.
When men live and labor for many long
years in one sphere and doing over and over
again the same class of duties, they are liable to become narrow-minded and contracted
in their opinions and views. They come to
think of themselves much higher than they
ought to think. It is advantageous to go
abroad and compare viewsand opinions with
your fellow men and fellow Christians. As
Paul declared on Mars' Hill, God " hath
made of one blood all nations of men, for to
dwell on all the face of the earth." We are
too much inclined to lose sight of this great
and cardinal truth of Christianity. Losing
sight of this truth, men—Christian men,
become narrow-minded, sectarian, and bigotted. We need to become better acquainted with each other, and with what God is
doing in the world. Travel, when undertaken from right motives, and made profitable, is highly calculated to correct such
views.
It was pleasant to me, in my walks about
Zion, and through other lands when the time
came to direct my steps homewaid. Hither
my thoughts always tended. I thought of
my church, my parish, and the people among
whom my lot had been cast lor so many
years. Here 1 had spent more than half my
life, and nearly all of my professional life,
and always found enough to do in my Master's field, and not a few ready to co-operate
with me in building up Zion, erecting fier
towers, strengthening her bulwarks, and
adorning her palaces. I utter it not exultingly or boastfully, but here I may honestly
say, that from the commencement of my
ministry I have found a sphere of usefulness
in which I was permitted to labor hopefully
and heartily. I desired to come back, and
surely I find, on my return, much for which
to be truly grateful. Having traveled half
around the globe and returned in safety, I
am profoundly impressed with the feeling
sense of my obligation to God for his goodness, his loving kindness and tender merry.

1 JLE PSIKNi, Jl' LV,
J. T. Waterhouse, Esq.—In a recent
number of " The Watchman and Wesleyan
Advertiser," published in London May 18th,
we notice that our fellow-townsman was present at the laying the corner stone of a new
Wesleyan Chapel. He made some remarks
stating " that fifty years ago his father was
engaged in promoting the building of the
chapel they had just pulled down." From
the report of the proceedings, it appears that
Mr. W. " presented to Sir Francis Lycett a
very handsome silver trowel, with which the
corner stone was duly laid." Having so recently visited the town where this new chapel is to be built, and having worshipped in
the " old chapel," now pulled down, we feel
a personal interest in the enterprise, and
most heartily wish it success. It only required a little longer residence in old England, to have awakened in our mind as lively
an interest in the local and social, national
and philanthropic enterprises, as we feel in
those of our native, or adopted land.
Dedication of Good Templars' Hall.—
Converting the " Main Hotel" into a
" Good Templars' Hall," is surely a step in
the right direction. If the conversion had
occurred years ago, it would have saved
many sorrows and tears, and much wasted
wealth. We learn that the " Queen Emma"
Lodge assisted the " Ultima Thule " Lodge,
in the dedication, and about one hundred
and forty members were present. After the
dedicatory exercises were closed, all sat
down to a sumptuously spread table. We
are Tejoiced also to learn that the members
are permitted to be joined by their wives,
who participate in the business affairs of the
association, and we are sure they will reap
its rewards and benefits. Much good have
Good Templars " already accomplished in
"Honolulu,
and we hope their future prosperity and success will throw their past triumphs into the shade.
Chines
Evening School.—The school,
blished by Mr. Aheong, before leaving
Jhina, is still continued, and is taught
Ir. DunscorOjbe. Persons having Chiin their employment, it is hoped, will
urage them to avail themselves of the
ileges of this school. Hitherto, the
teacher has been quite successful in teachChinese the rudiments of the English
ruage.
■
We would thankfully acknowledge from
C. C. Bennett, Esq., a copy of his valuable
Sketches of Hawaiian History and Hono"lulu
Directory, 1869." It abounds with information, and strangers wishing to inform
themselves about the city and the Islands,
should secure a copy, which maybe obtained
at toe office of Bennett's Own.
Princely Donation to Missions.—At the
recent anniversary meeting of the London
Missionary Society, it was announced that
Sir Francis Crossley, M. P., had contributed
£20,000 to the Society's funds.

No Kain at the Guano Islands.—Mr.
Edwards recently arrived from Howland's,
one of the Guano Islands, informs us,
that for many months there has been no
rain ; whereas, formerly, during the same
season, there were abundant rains. We hear,
also, of the want of rain in other parts of
the world ; Syria, lor example,— where, formerly, rains were abundant. Before we
adopt the conclusion with some, that the
Sandwich Islands are to become a rainless
region of the globe, let us wait and gather
more data, and not jump at inferences without a proper study of facts, here and elsewhere, upon the earth.

Mr. Aheong has continued his labors
among the Chinese the last year with gratifying success. He has made the tour of
over a considerable portion
Oahu.and traveled
of Maui and Hawaii, visiting and holding
meetings with his countrymen, and distributing books among them.
When in Honolulu, in addition to visiting
from house to house, and among the Chinese
shops, he has held religious services in the
Bethel, Sabbath evening, with an attendance
varying from fifty to eighty Chinamen.
Five Chinese have united with the church
by profession the past year. One with
Bethel Church, one with Kawaiahao, one
witli Kaneohe, one with Hilo, and one with
the church at Lanai. Seven others, Mr.
Aheong thinks, give evidence of having
become Christians. Through Mr. Aheong's
efforts $250 were contributed to the fund
for the erection of the buildings for the Board-
ingSchoolat Makawao.by theChinese. The
school taught by Mr. Dunscombe in Honolulu,
has been continued with an average attendance of 12 scholars. Our Board appropriated
in aid of this school $200 for one year.
The year closed with the month of February,
and no new appropriation has been made by
the Board for the school, but from the first
of March it has been continued by a tuition
paid by those attending.
Mr. Aheong thinks there has been, during
the year, an addition of nearly one hundred
to the Chinese population of the Islands,
making the whole Chinese population in the
Islands about fifteen hundred. The increase
has been by immigration from China and
California, and very few, he soys, have left
the Islands.
The Hawaiian schools established in different parts of the Islands for the Chinese
have been nearly all discontinued, chiefly
for the want of teachers, but partly from the
laborers not finding time to attend school.
The total amount paid this year for our
Chinese work has been $1,245.75. To meet
this, $323.45 have been contributed for
Chinese work ; the remainder has been paid
from our own funds. All from purely Hawaiian sources, except $35.20.
Mr. Aheong with his family has left the
Islands on a visit to his friends in China, to
be absent one year.
Theological School.
The Theological School at Wailuku, was
commenced in July, 1863, and has been
continued for seven years, during which time
five classes have entered the school. The
whole number who have entered is sixtytwo ; just half of whom, thirty-one, have
entered the ministry, and twelve others may
be expected to enter who have not finished
their course of study. Five only of those
who have left trie school, have gone on
Foreign Missions. The instructor says,
there are however several candidates who
"wish
to be sent either to Micronesia or to
the Marquesas Islands. Five have died."
The studies in the school have been
Didactic Theology and Church Government,
Church History, Exposition of the Bible, the
composition and delivery of sermons, and
once a week a theological debate. The
students have been much employed in the
churches ofWailuku, Waikapu and Waihee,
to aid in preaching, in Sabbath-schools and
VKIK N U , JULY, 15.0.
in other efforts in doing good to the people.
They have thus far been supported chiefly
by the hospitality of the people of Wailiiku
and that region, and by their own industry.
One hundred and live dollars only have been
expended from the funds of the Board on
the school the last year. The instructor has
gone to California lor a visit of three or four
months, during which time the school is
suspended.
Female Filuc.ation.
The last Annual Report of the Board
gave an encouraging account of the condition of the Waialua school for girls. It
stated •' that the pupils came together with
promptitude after a vacation of two and a
half months ; the number has averaged about
seventy during the year. The buildings are
in a satisfactory condition and the institution
has accommodations comfortable for seventyfive pupils."
Much to the regret of this Board, on the
21st of June, 1869, Rev. O. H. Gulick, who
commenced the school, and for six years had
most faithfully and successfully conducted
all its affairs, sent into our Board his resignation as Principal of the Seminary. He
however continued his services till the close
of the year, when the school was discontinued and has not been reopened. The
amount expended for the school for the part
of the school year it was in operation from
June to December 31st, is $1,475. In accordance with a recommendation of the
Committee on Education, to whom was
referred the subject of changes in Waialua
Seminary, it has been placed under a Board

PtMicationa.
We have, during the past year, received
from the American Bible Society a part of
the new pocket edition of the New Testament
and Psalms. These Testaments and Psalms
have been much called for, and those in
the cheapest bindings have all been disposed
of, and many more might have been sold if
we had had them in the Depository. This
edition of the New Testament was prepared
by the American Bible Society, under the
superintendence of Rev. E. W. Clark. For
more than half of the year past, we have had
none of thewibles in the cheap bindings.
This we regret, for both the Bibles and
Testaments are often inquired for.
The circulation of the Alaula has been
somewhat smaller than that of the previous year. About 2460 copies have been
taken, making 118,080 pages. It is desirable that the circulation of this paper be
increased, and it is believed it might be, if
more effort was made by the pastors and
Sabbath-school superintendents.
We have added one new question book
for the use of Sabbath-schools—No. 5, prepared by Rev. O. H. Gulick. Some new
works, prepared for the press, were taken to
the United States by Dr. Gulick, with the
hope that he would arrange with some of
the publishing societies for printing them.
In a letter lately received he writes, " I am
happy to report that I have made good progress in arranging for the publication of the
several important works now ready for the
press. I am almost certain the American
Tract Society, New York, will prepare
gratuitously the electrotype plates of the
Bible Dictionary, and Bible Text Book. Regarding the Commentary and Hymn Book,
and the Hymn and Tune Book, the Tract
Society will doubtless be willing to print
them at cost price."
We hope these books will soon be in the
hands of pastors, students, and Sabbathschool teachers. We have, this year, printed
in these islands, in four languages, fourteen,
different publications ; four in the Hawaiian,
one in the Marquesan, seven in the Gilbert Island language, and two in Ponapean, making
a total of 1,557,200 pages, besides which we
have received from the presses of the American Bible Society about 413,190 pages.
There have been put in circulation on
these islands 1,344,432 pages of Hawaiian
in book form during the year, besides
what is equal to 118,080 pages of Alaula,
and about 21,260 pages of Chinese works.
Our gratuitous circulation of our own publications is as follows: Bibles and Testaments, 25,240 pages ; bound volumes, 34,-625 pages ; tracts, 12,079 pages. Our total
expenditure for book department is $3,405.32,
of which $500 is from the American Board—
$2,401.61 avails of books, and from our own
treasury $1,003.71.
We lay before the Association, tables prepared by Mr. Warren Chamberlain, the
clerk of our book department, showing the
circulation of our books and newspaper.

The Morning Star left Honolulu July
Bth, 1869, on her third voyage to Micronesia. It proved to be her last voyage. She
carried out the largest reinforcement of missionaries the Board has sent to this Mission.
It consisted of four new missionaries and
their wives, Rev. H. Aea and wife, returning to their former field of labor, and Rev, J.
F. Pogue, as Delegate of the Board to its
Missions in Micronesia. The outward voyage
was prosperous. The several Missions were
visited. Meetings of the Missions were held
for counsel and for fellowship, and much

tive of Strong's Island was last year ordained
as pastor of the church. This, if I mistake
not, is the first native of Micronesia ordained
to the work of the gospel and pastor of a
church. There are four church buildings
on the island. The people can all read and
join in the songs of Zion.
Mr. Doane is the only missionary now
on the Island of Ponape. There arc five
churches on the island; two on the north
side under the care of Mr. Doane, and three
on the south, under the cqre of Mr. Sturges.
There have been additions to all of them
during the past year. Mr. Doane has continued his school, during his wife's absence,
with good results. Mr. Sturges writes:
That the church at Kiti has generally
"done
well under the care of a native teacher.
There have been added the last year eight
persons to this church."
In a distressing storm, December, 1868,
the church building at the station was blown
down, with most of the other buildings. The
church was soon rebuilt by the people. Mr.
Sturges has spent most of his time at Owa,
in the Metalanim tribe. This may become
the main station instead of the one at Kiti.
During the year, the people have been engaged in building a stone church, which
greatly improves their condition externally.
The house was dedicated during the visit of
the Morning Star. Four have united with
this church by profession this year. Mr.
Sturges' school has prospered, having an
average attendance of seventy-five. A Sabbath-school celebration was held in the new
church on the 4th of July; all the schools
on the island were well represented, and a
new impulse was given to the work. There
was also an examination of the schools during the visit of the Morning Star. The
scholars generally had advanced.
The heathen party remain obstinate, but
are diminishing in numbers. The population
of the island is 6,000 or more, half of which
belong to the Christian party. No letters
or reports have been received from Mr.
Doane. They were lost with the Morning
Star.
It is a promising feature in this Mission
that native teachers and helpers are enlisted
in the work, though none have been ordained. Two churches are under the care
of natives.

of the pastors have been unavoidably detained from coming to this anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox were with us last
year; but on account of bad health, they
had the approval of this association to go to
the United States, rest a while, seek medical advice, and return to us again when restored to health. But on arriving in Colebrook, they were both taken sick with fever,

been preaching to the church and people at
Moannlua and Kalihi for two years, when he
was taken siafc with the epidemic fever then
prevailing. He died on the 20th July.
The Honorable John Ii was one of the
early converts to Christianity. He was very
useful to the pioneer missionaries in their
acquiring the language, in preparing school
books, and in translating the Scriptures.
He was an active, zealous and humble
Christian. The last two or three years of
his life, he preached the Gospel to the people
at Ewa, and was very much beloved by
them. In the month of April, he was taken,
sick with a fever, and died in the triumphs
offaith on the 2nd of May.
Perhaps we ought to mention here the
death of the Rev. H. Bingham, one of the
pioneers of this mission. For, last year, the
Hawaiian Board sent him a cordial-invitation to come and aid us in celebrating the
Jubilee of this mission. He had resolved to
comply with their invitation; bidWtod in

away from time into eternity. He died on
the 11th of last November, after a brief illness of only three days.
The Hawaiian Evangelical Association
has been highly favored on this occasion by
the timely visit of Dr. N. G. Clark, Foreign
Secretary of the American Board in Boston.
He has expressed great satisfaction in the
success of the Hawaiian Mission. And wo
trust that his public addresses and private
counsels will be of lasting benefit to all the
members of the Association. Our best wishes go with him on his return to the United
States.
The visit also of the Rev. S. Kauwealaha
from the Marquesas Mission, where he has
been laboring for seventeen years, has
added much to the interest of this anniversary. His remarks and exhortations, both on
home and foreign missions, have been ex-
ceedingly interesting.
The Rev. S. P. Aheong, who labored hi.-1

On the 31st of lust December, the Rev.O.
H. Gulick closed his labors as Principal of
the Waialua Female Boarding School, and
dismissed the scholars for a long vacation.
It is now uncertain when the school will be
again revived, for want of a Principal, and
suitable teachers.
The Trustees of the Makawao Seminary
have commenced building a new schoolhouse, to supply the place of the one which
was burnt down last year. We have hope,
therefore, that that seminary will soon be in
operation again.
Your Committee make a brief report on
the Government day schools. By the reports
of the different pastors of this association,
there are some things quite favorable. In
some of the day schools, the improvement
is quite obvious.
BOARDING SCHOOLS.
It appears from the reports of the teachers
of the boarding schools now in operation,
that these schools are now in a prosperous
condition; especially the school at Hilo, under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr.
Lyman.
INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS.
The children in the independent schools
are increasing in knowledge and strength,
according to the wishes of their parents. It
is a matter of rejoicing to this association,
that there is so much Christian influence exerted upon these schools at this time.
BIBLES AND TESTAMENTS.
Your Committee can state that in some of
the parishes, a considerable number of books
have been purchased the past year; while,
in other parishes, a very few have been
called for. The pastors ought all to be very
zealous in exhorting their people to supply
themselves with books.

need of the reviving influences of the Holy
Spirit. Your Committee, therefore, would
exhort all the members of this association
that we all repent and humble ourselves before God, and put away our sins. Let us
not trust in our own wisdom and strength,
but get low before God then we may expect that he will send down upon us, and
upon our churches the rain of His Holy
Spirit, and His rich blessing.

THE FRIEND,
AUGUST 1. ISIO.
A cordial welcome we are most happy
extend to the Young Men's Christian Association. Hereafter one page of our sheet
will be issued under their editorial supervision and control. We shall hope the interest
and usefulness of oursheet will be marvelously increased. A little young blood in the veins
of the old Friend will undoubtedly add to US
aggressive and progressive proclivities. Let
not our readers imagine, however, that we
have entered into this arrangement because
we were fearful the Friend would become
defunct and die. This paper has lived
through all the ups and downs of newspaperial existence during the past twenty-seven
years, and we hope it will survive until
we may be permitted to celebrate its Jubilee.

passed through Turin, Bologna, Ancona
thus crossing the plains of Lombardy, running down the coast of the Adriatic for two
hundred miles, while in the distance could
be seen the Apennines, forming the back- I
bone of Italy. This is the land of the olive,

other kinds of fruit. The country people

examined one of them with much interest;
we hear, however, that the American iron
and steel plows have made their appearance. Wheeler and Wilson's sewing machines were for sale in Turin and Bologna.
We have seen one shoemaker in Brindisi at
work with an American sewing machine.
The railroad is now infusing new life and
energy among the people in this remote part
of Italy.
During our brief sojourn of two days in
Brindisi, we have been fully occupied, not
only in viewing the present habits and customs of the people, but also in making enquiriesrespecting the antiquities of so ancient
and renowned a city as Brindisi, or Brundusium. Here the poet, Virgil, died, B. C.
19 ; September 22nd. He was on his return
from Greece to Rome. His body was conveyed to Naples. In our endeavour to ascertain what could be learned respecting the
ancient ruins of the city, we have been much
aided by Professor Giacomo Janonico Rubini, for 22 years teacher in the Gymnasium
of Brindisi. He is now a priest in one of
the churches of the city, of which he is also
a native. As he speaks English, and is uncommonly genial and communicative, it has
afforded us a great amount of pleasure to
accompany him through the city and its
suburbs, and also in our visits to the churches, and now deserted monastery. He was
professor of mathematics and rhetoric, and
has a brother now professor of mathematics
in Naples.
It was evidently with no small degree of
sadness that Professor Rubini alluded to the
confiscation of the church property, and the
abolition of the monasteries and nunneries.
He, however, accepts the situation, and endeavors to make the best of the change.
In reference to the old Roman age, it was
most instructive to hear him discourse. Today he pointed out to us, on the opposite
aide of the harbor, in the garden of the Russian Consul, the stone, with its inscriptions,
which marks the spot where a Roman Consul was buried, by the name of Cocceius.
We also heard him quote the following line
of Horace, referring both to the Appian way
and the settlement of the dispute between
Antony and Augustus:

ers and armies started for Rome, across the
Apennines.
It was from this port that, in the days of
the Crusaders, such vast multitudes of those
misguided men embarked, no more to return,
for the recovery of Jerusalem and the Holy
Land from the lisfidel. Here, too, the Templars of Malta had a branch of their order
established, and Professor Rubini pointed
out to us the remains of an edifice where the
Templars held their meetings.
There is still standing in the city a Pillar,
or Column, about fifty feet high, that was
erected in the 11th century. The house in
which, tradition says, Virgil died, is situated
near this Column. Brindisi has a public
library, nnd through it we were conducted
by Professor Rubini, who kindly pointed out
to us various Roman relics which had been
recently discovered while excavations were
forward for laying the railroad. We
also examined several very curious and most
neatly executed ancient manuscripts. There
was one work of special interest to which
our attention was called : we refer to the
" Biblia Sacra Polyglotta," in 6 volumes,
published in London, during the protectorate
of Cromwell, 1657. Thomas Waltonus
was editor, nnd Thomas Roycraft was the
publisher. This is a work of great interest,
and it was amusing to see how some antiCromwellian scholar had most carefully
pasted a line of Latin, in the Latin preface,
over the name of the illustrious protector,
Oliver Cromwell. This exhibition of petty
spite exceedingly amused the professor as
well as ourselves. The name of Cromwell
now, 1869, stands very differently among
even staunch supporters of the English
throne, from what it did in 1669. During
our late visit to Bunhill Cemetery, in London, we noticed with interest that the Lord
Mayor of London had recently ordered a
tomb of one of the sons of Cromwell to be
restored. If the body of Cromwell could be
found, we are not sure but a monument
would be erected over it, in the city of
London, by order of Her Majesty's Govern-
,
ment.
But we have wandered from Brindisi,
where we are now making our preparations
to embark this evening for Alexandria in
Egypt, thatpar excellence is "the old coun-
try"—that fountain, whence the stream of
learning has been flowing for more than
three thousand years, through Palestine,
Greece, Rome, and so down through all the
modern nations ofEurope to America.

without referring in terms of much commendation and respect to the attentions we have

and the streets are deserted except by those
necessarily called abroad on labor or business. I feel quite inclined to remain quietly
at our temporary English home, where I enjoy the society of the family of Captain
Holdsworth, our old neighbour at Honolulu.
How can I employ a few moments more
agreeably, than by giving you a brief sketch
of yesterday, the day I spent at Cambridge,
dear
,
visiting the old University ?
Cambridge is situated fifty-six miles northeast from London. I left in the train at 8
o'clock, a. m., and arrived there about 10.
Having in my possession a letter of introduction to Mr. E. C. Sterling ofTrinity, now pursuing his medical studies at the University,
1 repaired to that college, and soon learned
that he was attending a lecture, and would
not be at leisure until 1 o'clock p. m. On
sending to the neighboring hotel, I obtained
a cicerone who is accustomed to conduct
strangers about Cambridge. I gave him to
understand that the object of my visit was
remarkable places in and about
Cambridge, visit several of the Colleges, and
walk through the library buildings and chapels. We immediately started upon our
to see the
rambles.
We first visited Jesus College. This was
originally built for a nunnery, in the reign
of Henry 11, but converted into a college in
1497. It has been suffered to become much
dilapidated ; but within a few years the
buildings have been extensively repaired,
and the chape) rebuilt. This college has
104 undergraduates. Here let me inform
you that Oxford and Cambridge Universities
are constructed upon entirely different principles from our American Colleges, or Universities. Perhaps I can give you no better
idea of Cambridge University than by asking you to imagine all the colleges of New
England gathered and crowded together in
the town of Amherst. Now, at Cambridge
there are no less than eighteen different colleges. All form the University of Cambridge. The peculiar government and organization of this grand old institution,
furnishes a most admirable illustration of
the organization and government of the
United States of America. Our separate
States correspond to the separate colleges,
and when all are united, they form a
good idea of our general Government, or

the United States of America. When undergraduates are residing in Cambridge,
they speak of themselves as members of this
or that college, viz: "a St. John's man,"
" a Trinity man," " Caius man ;" but when
they have graduated and gone abroad into
the world, they are no longer " Trinity,"
or Caius," or St. John's" men, but Cambridge men. It is somewhat so with American citizens; when at home, they are
citizens of Massachusetts, or Ohio, or Illinois, or South Carolina ; but when abroad
they are American citizens. The parallel
might be still further carried out, if 1 had
the time and space. The University of Oxford will furnish an equally good illustration
of the Republic of North America. The

The method of instruction and discipline
is so very unlike that adopted in our American colleges that it would require a volume
to render the subject intelligible. While
there, I enquired of the young gentleman to
whom I was introduced, " can you recommend any book which will explain the
government of the University, and method
ol instruction ?" He replied, " the very best
book on Cambridge was written by one of
your countrymen, Mr. Everett, a graduate of
Trinity." "What, do you refer to the volume
entitled On the Cam ?' " " To be sure,"
'
was his reply. I recollect reading this book,
before leaving Honolulu. It was the American edition, but I find a new and English
edition has recently been published in London. I would recommend you to read that
book and I purchased for you a copy at
Cambridge. Young Everett, after graduating at " old Harvard," came over to England
and entered Cambridge, where he remained
through the regular course, graduating with
high honors. After returning to Boston, he
delivered a course of lectures before the
Lowell Institute. These were published
under the title " On the Cam, or University
Life at Cambridge." Mr. Everett is a son
of thelate Hon. Edward Everett of Boston.
But I have broken ofTthe narration of my
rambles under my Cicerone. After leaving
Jesus College, we visited the parish church
of All Saints, for the purpose of inspecting
a monument, erected to Henry Kirk White.
This church contains the grave of the much
lamented youthful poet. It was somewhat
gratifying to my national vanity to learn
from the old sexton of the church, that this
monument was erected by an American gentleman, by the name of Boott. I learn from
a Cambridge guide book, that this monument was executed by Chantrey, and exhi"
bits, within a medallion, the portrait of the
poet in bas-relief." There is a poetical inscription upon the monument from the pen
of Professor Smyth. The inscription is too
long for me to quote entire, but it closes
thus :
far o'er th' Atlantic wave,
A wanderer came, and sought the poet's grave,
On yonlow atone he saw his lonely name,
And raised this fondmemorial to his fame."
Jesus College is situated in the suburbs
of Cambridge. Returning from my walk in
that direction, I was conducted to the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is
an edifice of great antiquity, having been
consecrated A. D. 1101. It is considered
one of the notable structures of Cambridge. It has been restored within a
few years, and doubtless furnishes a good
specimen of the Norman style of architecture. From thence I wandered through
various courts and grounds belonging to
King's, St. John's, and Trinity Colleges. I
cannot describe each, but suffice it, I was
exceedingly pleased with the venerable and
time-honored appearance of these ancient
seats of learning. The weather was so severe, that but few students were seen abroad
except those going or returning, with a hurried pace, from their lecture room, or from
some locality where they might find good
skating
I was much interested in viewing the
University Library, containing upwards of
400,000 printed books, and about 3,000
manuscripts. There I saw the famous manuscript of the four gospels, and the book of
Acts, on vellum, in Greek and Latin. With
the exception of a manuscript in the Vatican
Library, at Rome, this is regarded as the
most ancient. There also I saw a famous
and splendid Persian manuscript, dating as
far back as 1388. I was pleased to see how
admirably this library was lighted.
While walking through the dining hall of
Trinity, and viewing a number of portraits
of patrons, and graduates of this college, my
attention was arrested by the modest and
unambitious portrait of the saintly Henry
Martyn. There was no one among the
illustrious worthies of Trinity, whose portrait interested me so much. His character
may not find admirers among the generality
of Cambridge graduates and under graduates

The remainder of the day was spent in free
conversation respecting University-life at
Cambridge, in contrast with the life of an
undergraduate in American colleges. They
had many enquiries to make, while 1 had
not a few in turn, which gave rise to much
pleasant chat. Upon this point I became fully
satisfied that Cambridge, with all its advantages and privileges, is not to remain where
it now is, butchanges are contemplated. Even
now, a notice is published in the newspapers,
that young ladies will bo admitted to the
privileges and lectures of the University.
At the present sitting of Parliament a bill is
to be introduced, allowing the sons of Dissenters to enter their names for University
honors.
The general impression abroad
in England, is that the expenses are too
much, and steps will soon be taken for their
reduction. At present, the annual expenses
of undergraduates range from £250 to £400,
or $1,250 to 2.000.
But I have already protracted my letter
much longer thnn I designed, and yet I could
easily write as much more. During all my
wanderings in foreign lands, the subject of
education has constantly occupied my mind ;
hence, in Egypt, Palestine, Greece, and
Italy, I visited nil the schools and colleges
which fell in my way. While the young
student may enjoy many advantages and
privileges in these old lands, yet I am fully
convinced that the young collegian in a New
England college may obtain as good an education, to fit him for the duties of life, in this
practical age, as those who are pursuing
their studies in Cambridge, or any other
equally favored European University. So
vivid arc my recollections of Amherst, that
I will not admit her inferiority among the
colleges of America, or the world. To be
sure, she has not the glory of antiquity, but
she has the vigor of youth, ripening into the
glory of manhood. Her Alumni, at home
and abroad, reflect honor upon their Alma
Mater, and I trust you will do your part in
sustaining the honor of the college, and in
elevating the character of her scholarship.
Yours truly,
S. C. Damon.
P. S. Feb. 14.—Yesterday I heard the
Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, and was exceedingly
pleased.
United States Marine Hospital.—Dr.
McGrew deserves much credit for his liberal
outlay in refitting the Hospital. Considering
the immense sums of money which have
been expended by the United States Government for hospital purposes, it has long been
.most disgraceful that the sick should have
.had such poor accommodations. Hereafter
we trust there may be no complaint. At

DtS“RaaembohyKteHiretp oly.”
Thus spake God to Moses more than three
thousand years ago; and previously at the
creation of the world, God had " blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it."—Genesis 2:2.
We do not discover from our reading and
study of the Bible, that God has given up
his claim to one-seventh part of time as
"holy time," or has annulled his command
given upon Sinai. Until he does, we should
be very cautious how we alter or modify it,
any more than we should the 6th, "Thou
shalt not kill," or the Bth, " Thou shall not
steal." The French Revolutionists in 1793
abolished the Sabbath by law, and appointed
every tenth day for relaxation and amusement. The shock was so violent and alarming, that public sentiment compelled the legislative authority to restore the Christian
Sabbath.
The more closely we maintain the observance of the Sabbath, the better will public
morals and the welfare of the community be
conserved. We do not approve of the
Beecher theory as published in the A deerUser of the 30th of July. It is just such a
theory as will sanction all sorts of railroad
and steamboat desecration. No such theory
gave the Christian Sabbath to Old or New
England, or Hawaii nci. Give up the strict
observance of the Sabbath, and the flood
gates of sin are thrown wide open. Our
space will not allow us to go more fully into
this subject at present, but we could no sooner
be persuaded to give up the Holy Sabbath
than we could the Bible, or the marriage institution. The sooner we come back to
Bible ground upon the subject of marriage
and the Sabbath the better.
Our renders will learn from reading in
another column of the Friend, that the Rev.
Dr. Lang thinks the Continent of America
was peopled by the way of Easter Island.
Since that article was put into type, We have
received a communication from Ohio, in
which the theory is advanced that America
was peopled by the lost ten tribes of the
Jews. We quote as follows " You may
possibly remember that one part of my business while at Honolulu (this visit occurred
in 1850) was collecting evidence touching
the long missing ten tribes of the Hebrews.
Before and since I saw you, it has been my
lot to collect much information on this subject. It seems to me that there are evidences
existing to establish the following statements.
Ist. From more than eighty items of evidence, it may be inferred that the Indians of
America are descendants of the ten tribes.
2d. The Asiatic Tartars, Japanese, and many
of the inhabitants of Eastern Polynesia, nrc
of the same descent as the Indians. 3d.
Since the forefathers of the Indians came,
more than forty ol the Old Tcstimcnt prophecies have been fulfilled in this country.
These subjects arc interesting, as they have
a strong bearing on the future return of a
very large number of the human family to

This writer does not intimate by what
imagines the first inhabitants of
America reached the Continent, but probably
via the Aleutian Islands.

Eyre.
As the Friend circulates among seamen
of all nations navigating the Pacific, we have
most scrupulously avoided expressing any
opinion with reference to the conduct of
Captain Eyre, of the lUnnbay, until the
facts should be duly investigated and decided
upon in England. We have carefully read
every thing which has appeared in both
American and English papers. From the
general tone of the English papers, we felt
confident, that if Captain Eyre was really
guilty of gross negligence, he would receive
a verdict from his own countrymen, which
would be most severe. That verdict has been
pronounced, and the London Times asserts it
to be the general opinion of the English nation. That verdict is embodied in the fol-
lowing paragraph :—
The London Times says, " The correspondence relative to the collision between
the Oneida and the Bombay, and the offi-
cial notes and evidence in the inquiry held
at Yokohama, have just been printed by order of the House of Commons, and every
one has the opportunity of learning the facts
and judging the case for himself. The general opinion, we are sorry to say, must be
that the most unfavorable view taken of Mr.
Eyre's conduct in this country is the most
consistent with truth. We have waited
with an earnest hope that something would
appear to extenuate his culpability and to
remove the stigma which through him had
been fixed on the humanity of British seamen. But, though the distorted versions of
the story current in the United States may
be set aside, enough remains to shew that
beyond a doubt the death of the 112 persons
who were lost with the Oneida is to be
ascribed to the negligence of the captain of
the
Bombay.
This verdict, we regard, under the circumstances, as (ar more severe than any
thing which has appeared in the American
papers.

Seventy-live laborers have reached North
Adams Mass, and been employed to make
shoes. It liiis created a great excitement
among the members of the St. Crispin's "
associations. From a Massachusetts paper
—the Spy—we quote its follows
"The white shoemakers of the town are in
a high state of wrath, but see no way of venting it effectually. The Crispin association
is very strong here, there being four or five
other large shops, and have hitherto had

leader of the order from Boston is here, and
the Crispins are holding a secret meeting
to-night, but it is not thought probable anything serious will be done to disturb Mr.
Sampson's arrangements, as the sentiments
of the community at large are so strongly
with him. The threats which are made
promise all the enormities of Sheffield, but
courage to carry them out is probably lacking."
The stream having once commenced to
flow, it will not cease. Chinese laborers
will spread throughout the United States.
"John Chinamen " is the coming man in
America. He is shrewd, industrious, saving,
naturally given to traffic, and is bound to
work his way, and only asks to be let alone.
There will be a violent opposition to this
movement, but should not Chinamen be
allowed to go to any part of the United
States nnd there reside, engaging in labor or
trade, if American citizens are allowed to
visit China ? It is a poor rule that will not
work both ways. The treaty stipulations,

which will not be without its moral effect

Pbe-Histomc Nations, or Inquiries concerning
some of tbe great peoples and civilizations of Antiquity, and their probable relation to a still older
civilisation of the Ethiopians, or Cushitea of Arabia.
—By J. D. Baldwin, A. M. New York: Harper
& Co. 1800.
Tbe Orioin and Migration or the Polynesian
Nation. Three Lectures before the Royal Society
of New South Wales, September, 1869—8y Rev.
1). Lang, D.D., of Sydney ; and published in the
Sydney Morning Herald.
We find our table, this month, furnished
with two publications, upon the same general subject,—the migration of nations—but
written and printed on the opposite sides of
the globe. These two publications indicate
the nature of the historical researches which
are now pursued by scholars in various parts
of the world. They are no longer satisfied
with Rollin's Ancient History," " Gold"
smith's Greece," or with the theory of archbishop Usher—that Adam was created just
4,004, before the Christian era. Mr. Baldwin, author of " Pre-historic Nations," is
editor of a daily newspaper, the Massachusetts Spy, published in Worcester, Massachusetts, and, by the way, one of the very
oldest papers in America, commenced in
1771, or 99 years ago. Amid the hurry
and pressure of a daily newspaper office, it
is a little remarkable that Mr. Baldwin finds
time to pursue his researches into, not only
the history of ancient nations, but the condition of nations which flourished and decayed, long ages prior to Heroditus, styled
the father of history. He advocates the idea
that writers for two thousand years have paid
too much deference to the Greeks, regarding
them as the founders of learning, whertas
18.0.
demonstrating their ancient discovery, and
settlement of the continent of America."
This book attracted much attention, and
awakened a deep interest at the date of its
publication. It was reviewed by the Rev.
Mr. Armstrong, in the Hawaiian Spectator,
1839, where our readers may find a good
sketch of the writer's theories. These lectures, now published in the Sydney Morning Heruld, are a resume of that book, in
which the writer not only re-affirms his former opinions, but illustrates them by additional information. The main theories of
Dr. Lang are, that Polynesia was peopled
by the Malay rare, and furthermore, when
the migratory inhabitants of Polynesia had
the lakes of Canada, and the frozen shores
of Hudson's Bay ; penetrating into the dark
forests of the Brazils, and stretching out to
the straits of Magellan, and the faminestricken shores of Terra del Fuego. In
short, my theory is that the aborigines of
America are all one people, from North to
South and from East to West; and as the
three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa,
were peopled successively by the descendants of the eight persons who landed on
Mount Ararat from the good ship, the Ark,
so I firmly believe that both continents of
America were peopled by the descendants of
the handful of famished Polynesians who
had survived the voyage from Easter Island
to the West Coast of America."
reached Easter Island, situated in 27th degree of south latitude, and about 1800 miles
from the coast of Chili, South America,
that from thence some of the inhabitants
passed over to the main land, and peopled
South America, and pushed their way northward to Mexico. Dr. Lang claims to be the
author or originator of this interesting theory.
Our limits will allow us only to hint
at this theory, but it is one worthy of the
careful consideration of the scholar, divine,
and historian. In Mr. Baldwin's book, we
find many allusions to the theories that
America was visited by the Northmen, and
even Phoenicians, many centuries and ages
prior to the discovery by Columbus.
It is a little remarkable that both the authors now under review, arc now, or have
been, ministers of the gospel—both editors
—both members of legislative assemblies—
the one at Washington, and the other in
New South Wales—and both are veteran
literary workers and scholars.
Rev. Dr. Lang's theory about peopling of
the American continent:
" My theory, therefore, is that theAmerican continent was. first reached on its West
coast, about the latitude of Copiapo, in
the States of Chili, by a few natives of Easter Island, in the Southern Pacific, who had
been accidentally blown off from the land by
one of those strong westerly gales that are so
prevalent in that ocean, and were thereby
driven back to America. It is possible, indeed, that a canoe in such circumstances,
coming at length within the influence of the
southerly wind that prevails for a great part
of the year along the west coast of South
America, would be carried northward to the
coast of Peru, which is separated from that
of Chili by the desert of Atacama.
Chili and Peru were, therefore, in all likelihood the first portions of the American
continent that were ever occupied and settled by man. From thence, in the course
of ages, emigration would extend northwards,
eastwards, and southwards ; traversing and
dispersing its germs of population over Central America and the islands ofthe Caribbean
Sea : ascending and occupying the elevated
All the Eastern papers contain full and
appreciative notices of Mr. Dickens. His
death occurred June 9th, and at six o'clock
on the morning of July 11, his remains were
conveyed from his residence at Gad's Hill,
by train to Charing Cross station. There
awaited at the station a plain hearse, without the usual trappings, and three plain
coaches. In the first coach were placed the
children of the deceased, Charles and Harry
Dickens, Mrs. Dickens, and Mrs Charles
Collins. In the second were Mrs. Hogarth,
sister-in-law of Mrs. Austen, sister of Mr.
Dickens, Mrs. Charles Dickens, Jr, and John
Foster. In the third coach were Frank
Beard, Charles Collins, Mr. Owery, Wilkie
Collins, and Edmund Dickens. The entire
party were attired in deep but simple mourning, without bands or scarfs.
There ws no crowd at Charing Cross
station, and the procession was driven at
once to Westminster Abbey, where the remains were received by Dean Stanley and
other officials, and placed in the poet's corner, at the toot of Handel and head of Sheridan, with Macauley and Cnmberland on
either side. The usual flowers were strewn
upon the bier, Dean Stanley read the burial
service, the coffin was deposited in its final
resting place, and the funeral of Dickens was
ended. Upon the coffin plate were inscribed
the words:
.
—
there were highly civilized, enlightened and
refined nations—the Egyptians, the Phoenicians—long before the days of the Greeks
and Romans. Although we may not coincide with all his theories nnd reasonings
about those older nations, yet we have been
much interested in his book. It is worthy
of the careful perusal of the scholar and divine. Perhaps we may account for Mr.
Baldwin's ability and versatility from the
fact, that in early life, we believe he was a
minister of (he gospel, but his health failed,
and he became an editor, and a representative in congress.
The author of the other publication is the
widely known preacher and philanthropist,
the Rev. Dr. Lang, of Sydney, who has for
the last forty years occupied so conspicuous
a position in the Presbyterian church, and
the politics of the Australian colonies.
Nearly forty years ago, or in 1834, he published a work entitled " View of the origin plateau of Mexico; stemming the currents
and migrations of the Polynesian nation : of the Mississippi and its mighty tributaries

Young
Men's Christian Association in one of the
mountain towns of Pennsylvania, of about
2,500 inhabitants. It is a county town, and
with a court bouseand jail in it. The Young
Men's Christian Association reports nothing
to do, inasmuch as the jail is empty, no
criminal cases before the court, no liquor sold
in tbe place. Sabbath generally observed, ami
all the children attend the Sabbath-school.
We may well exclaim, in view of such a result, in the words of the Psalmist, " Happy

Character is not shaped by trifles any
more than marble is sculptured by puffs of
air. Only by hard struggles and stern conflicts with temptation, and resolute self-mastery, does the divine principle assert its
supremacy and carve its immortal loveliness
into every facility and mode of the mind.
The sharpness of our trials, and the hardness of our lot, show what we are made of,
antl how long we are to Inst.
I would not give much for your religion
unless it can be seen. Lamps do not
talk, but they do shine. A lighthouse sounds
no drum, it beats no gong, and yet, far over
the waters its friendly spark is seen by the
mariner. So let your actions shine out your
religion. Let the mnin sermon of your life
be illustrated by your conduct, and it shall
not fail to be illustrious.
At last, when we die, we have the
dear angels for our escort on the way. They
who can grasp the whole world in their
hands, can surely guard our souls, that they
may make that last journey safely.—Luther.
Never let your honest convictions be
laughed down. Be ever ready to give respectful attention to argument. Treat ridicule and dogmatic assertion with the contempt they deserve.
Sincerity is to speak as we think, to
do as we pretend and profess, to perform and
make good what we promise, anil really to
be what we seem.— TSllotson.
