This number of the Friend concludes the 28th Volume. The paper has been published regularly since January, 1843, except during the absence of the publisher and* editor in the United States in 1851. Tha volumes published prior to January, 1851, form the first series, including eight volumes or jasars. These are mostly sold and are out of print. The second series commenced in 1852, comprising twenty consecutive volumes. The publisher can furnish complete files of the second series, or for twenty years. Each year these back volumes become more and more valuable, containing a complete report of the shipping—arrivals and departures, passengers arriving and departing, deaths and marriages, notices of wrecks and disasters, much historical information, relating to the Hawaiian Islands, and a more complete and condensed record of important events in the Pacific, than can be found elsewhere. 93 than one-half this number have already left, and over 200, are now boarding at the U. S. Hospital. From persons in charge, we learn that for the most part these men have conducted themselves with much propriety. Comparatively few have fallen under the censure of the police. We congratulate the Consul, his clerk, and Dr. M'Grew, for their skill and success in managing so many seamen, so unexpectedly thrown upon their hands. Many of these men have gathered around our office and the reading room at the Home, where they may be seen at all hours, in reading newspapers and writing letters to their friends. Every facility has been gratuitously afforded them for communicating with " Home friends," even to furnishing gratuitously postage stamps. ! Rev. Dr. Gulick.—A correspondent thus refers to Dr. Gulick's late visit to Amherst Our fiery friend Dr. Gulick has College : been here with us to-day. The years and new labors seem not to diminish a whit of his old time fire and enthusiasm. He spoke in the chapel this afternoon, and I think I never heard him do better. He still retains much of his former theatrical manner. He is far mellower than a year ago. The students liked him much, and I was glad we could have so lively and) hearty an exponent of the missionary work in the Pacific with us. He spoke at our band-meeting which was un- " usually full.

Thanksgiving.—Agreeable to the proclamation of President Grant, the 30th of November was remembered by nearly all Americans residing in Honoluln. Many of the stores were closed. At 11a. m. there was a large gathering at the Fort street Church, to hear a discourse from the Rev. Mr. Frear.who had been invited to speak on the occasion. The singing and exercises were highly appropriate. The discourse of Mr. Frear was most timely eloquent and suited to the occasion. He choose for his text, Psalms 147, 20th verse. "He hstfa not dealt so with any nation ; and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord." We understand that a copy will be requested for publication and we hope it may be printed. We were glad to see the attendance of His Majesty's Minister of Foreign Relations and the Attorney General, as well as the American Minister, Mr. Pierce. "The Way or the World, Not the Way to Heavbn."—ln a Ist* N. Y. Observer, there is notice of a man in Springfield, 111., who refunded *4,600, which, seconding to law, he might have retained, but feeling morally bound, he cheerfully made restitution. A by-stander remarked that the transaction was honorable, but not " the way of the world." The quiet answer of the man, who had made the restitution was, The way of the world is not the way to "heaven."

As tbe end of the year is approaching it will be a good time to think over ■uch matters.

A gratifying feature, connected with this series of disasters, is the free, voluntary and spotaneous effort to contribute in behalf of the sufferers. The papers announce that in all parts of the United States the most generous coutributions have been made; and that similar efforts have been made in Europe, but especially in England. London. Oct. 17.—The subscription to the Chicago Relief Fund amounted to £33.600. At a meeting at Bradford, $2,000 were lecelved. At Dublin, $1,200; at Wolverhampton and Glasgow, $1,000 each. Tbla morning the subscriptions at Liverpool, had reached £10,000 : L»ads, £400; Cork £400; Dublin, £1,600; Hartley, £400; Birmingham has already forwarded its Brat installments of £2,000, and further contributions are being made. . It is a source ofmuch joy, that a desire to aid has been awakened in our small community. This is the more commendable from the fact, that our merchants, mechanics, and citizens generally are feeling so deeply the disaster that has befallen the whaling fleet. It is not the amount of the benefaction that I regard of so much importance, or the feeling prompting it. It is a Christian duty to aid those who are in distress. Every effort of this kind, enobles and benefits, the giver as well as the recipient. quality of mercy ia not strained ; " The It droppetb as tbe gentle dew from heaven Upon the place beneath. It ia twice blessed, It bleaaetb him that gives and bim that takes./ When we contribute for the spiritual or bodily necessities of our fellow-men, we are led to feel an interest in their welfare, we recognize them as our fellowmen, our brothers, as of one blood and fraternity with us. When those of one sect aid those of another j when those of one part of the human race aid those of another, the influence tends to break down and sweep away those barriers which seem to keep men apart and make of them enemies, who ought to be bound together, by the closest bonds ot friendships and fraternity. A calamity like that which has befallen Chicago, or Wisconsin, is terrible and heart rending, but yet terrible as it may be, the same may be overruled for good. Such we honestly believe will be the final result in the present instance. " Whoso is wise will observe these things," may see that great good may be evolved and educed from these and similar calamities. Men everywhere are naturally inclined to be selfish, sectional, clanish, and exclusive. Anything which will tend to counteract this selfish and unfriendly spirit is to be viewed as a blessing, even a calamity may be a blessing in disguise. Knot in itself a blessing, yet involves something which may be overruled for good. It is after this manner that even sin itself may be so overruled as to contribute to the good of the universe ofcreated intelligences and the glory of God. Again, let us repent the text which so aptly applies, Whoso is wise and will observe these "things even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord." This idea of the text, we regard as the announcement of a great truth, and as based upon a fundamental principle underlying the system of God's government of the universe of intelligent and moral creatures. A similar idea, is announced by the prophet Hosea, ;• Who is wise, and win these I 8 7 I things ? Prudent, and he shall know them ? For the days of the Lord are right, and the righteous shall walk in them ; but transgresshall fall therein." In our journey through this world we are continually called upon to meet difficulties and encounter providences which appear dark and mysterious. We are ever called upon to contemplate sorrow, suffering and sin, and the question will arise why was sin allowed to enter our world or why was Satan permitted to exercise so much sway over the minds of men ? Our only proper course is to bow in submission to the declaration of God, by Isaiah, " For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways.and my thoughts than your thoughts." Whenever, we are called upon to contemplate wide-spread and devastating conflagrations, like those which have laid a populous city in ruins and swept away the harvest of vast regions in Wisconsin, and destroyed hundreds of human beings, instead of calling in question God's providences and complaining of His dealings with mankind, it is rather becoming in us, to admire that infinite and divine wisdom which can overrule these fearful calamities for the moral and spiritual welfare of man. Earthquakes, for ought we know, contribute to the safety of our globe as an abode for man. Volcanoes are often spoken of as safety, valves! Our atmosphere is purified by the thunderstorm ! The tornado and the whirlwind, the cyclone and the volcanic eruption are parts of the system of nature. They are controlled by laws as certain as those which regulate the growth of plants and the maturing of harvests. Looking at this world as one of discipline and trial, duty and probation, fires and floods, conflagrations and disasters, shipwrecks and disappointments, are to be viewed as important agents in the great economy and system of God's wonder- working and overrulingprovidenr.es, "Whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord." no presnming impious railer tax " Let Creative wisdom, as if ought was lormed In vain, or not for admirable ends. Shall little haughty Ignorance pronounce His works unwise, of which the smallest part. Erceeds the narrow wiadom of her mind I As if upon atttll proportion'd dome. On swelling columns heaved, the pride of art. Acritic fly, whose feeble ray scarce spreads An inch around, with blind presmnp tion bold. Should dare to lax the structure of tbe whole." As we cannot fully comprehend in their wide-spread greatness, the works of God, and the laws which regulate the universe, it is becoming in us to submit to the teachings of Divine wisdom and wisely to observe the changes nnd resolutions which are going forward around us. It may be that by careful observation we like the Psalmist shall see " the loving kindness of the Lord." Yes God's loving kindness is most marvelously displayed overcoming evil with good, hatred with love, and sin, by sending His son on a mission of love and mercy to our lost and ruined world. Christ came to seek and save the lost, those who were overwhelmed in aH the ruins of " the vast and fall," and its direful consequences. We never should have witnessed the display of 95 . God's infinite love in the salvation, ofAdam's lost race, had not sin entered our world ; hence 1 would earnestly entreat of you, my hearers, to study and observe "these things," so that you may learn to admire and adore that system of mercy, so nobly unfolded and defended, in the epistle of Paul to the Komans, for " Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound, that as sin reigned unto death, even so might grace reign, through righteousness, unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord." The great and glorious plan of redemption, is the triumph of love over sin, goodness over evil. As ages roll on this grand and sublime truth will be made more and more manifest. He is a wiseman who will observe " these things," and their and unfolded, in a results whether displayed narrow or broad field, in conflagrations and disasters occurring in some limited district of our globe, or made more manifest in the broad history of the human race from tne fall of our first parents to the final consumation of the work of redemption, as it will appear, when that great company, which no man can number shall gather on Mount Zion above, and shall join in singing the Song of Redeeming love, unto Him who hath washed from usoursins in hisWn blood, and made us kings and priests unto God. The Late Alexander Adams. We briefly chronicled last week the death of thia, by far th* oldest resident on the islands. But Captain Adams was a man of mark, whose exit from the stage of Hawaiian life deserves more than a mere Gifted with an iron constitution. tbe foundations of whioh were laid among the heather-clad hills of old Scotland, he was vigorous and strong long after the period when other men succumb to the wear of years, and at ninety his intellect waa unclouded and his memory wonderfully retentive. His waa indeed •' a green old age," and it was exceedingly interesting to hear the oheerful old man, long after tbe light of his eyes had gone ont, describing the scenes through whioh he had passed in hia eventful career, and fighting his battles o'er again." Arriving at these islands in tbe year 1810, he soon attracted the notice of Kamehameha 1., who waa then actively interested in getting together a fleet of Teasels. He became a great favorite with the King, who entrusted him with the command of one of his vessels, in which he performed a voyage to China and back. He waa also appointed by the King aa the first regular pilot for the port of Honolulu, which office he continued to hold for nearly thirty years. Since 1844, however, he has mostly resided at his garden at Kalihi, near the city, where until within the past few years he occupied his time in cultivating fruits. Some twenty-fire or thirty years ago, he waa induced by the solicitations of friends, to reduce to writing the leading incidents of his life, and it waa printed in pamphlet form for private circulation. We hate endeavored in vain to procure one of these pamphlets, though we doubt not a copy could be found in aome library collections— thai of tha late R. C. Wyllie, for instance. Captain Adams waa three times married in these islands, and raised children by each wife. His great grandchildren are namerous, and we have among us the fourth generation, sprung from this hardy Scotch pioneer. Thus baa passed away the last link between the age of Hawaiian barbarism and that of the Fifth Kamehameha.—P. C. A. passing notioe.

Both of our Honolulu weeklies have referred to the nid extended to destitute and wrecked seamen, discharged from American whale ships, as a " noble charity on the " part of the United States Government. This is quite a wrong view of the case. Seamen are not pnupers, or indigent persons to whom a charitable contribution is extended. Sailing under the United States flag, they are American citizens, and more than that, ihey are persons who have paid taxes into the treasury of the United States, for the very purpose of meeting just such cases as the wreck of the whaling fleet. The fund now held, in trust, by the United States Government for the support of wrecked and sick seamen, amounts to millions—certainly $5,000,000, and we have heard it stated to be much higher than that sum. At any rate it is a very large amount. This fund is the gradual accumulation of 20 cents per month on all merchant seamen sailing out of the United States. Whalemen are not required to pay this tax, but, all whale ships must pay three months wages, when a seaman is discharged in a foreign port. Had this sum been honestly paid over by former Consuls at Honolulu, it would more than have met all the expenses incurred by the large number of seamen aided by this Consulate during the past season. Hence, we would say that in no proper use of the phrase, " noble charity," should it be applied to the case in hand. The Government acts as saving's bank, holding the seamen's contributions in trust to be used when necessity demands. The Martyr Bishop of Melanesia. By the late steamer from Australia, the sad intelligence was brought, that Bishop Patteson had fallen a martyr among the savage islanders of one of the Solomon groups. It appeurs that he was making his annual cruise among those islands, and doing as he had been doing for ten years, collecting boys to take to Norfolk Island for education, and when so educated returning them as missionaries. From what we can glean from the accounts, among the natives a bitter animosity had arisen, owing to the kidnadping practices of cruisers from Queensland and the Fiji islands. It is supposed that the Bishop was mistaken tor a kidnapper. Report says, that some of the enemies of mankind bad assumed the garb and robes of bishops, in order to successfully carry off the natives. We hope the affair will be thor- oughly investigated, and hereafter kidnappers will be treated as pirates. The Key. Mr. Williamson, preached an excellent sermon before the young people, at the St. Andrew's Cathedral, in Honolulu, in commemoration of the Bishop's death, whose character shines forth so remarkably bright and praiseworihy. Like Williams, he fell in a just cause, and in this instance, we doubt not, as in many others, the blood of a martyr will be found the seed of the church. Mr. Williamson's sermon will be found in the P. C. Advertiser of this week. A Hint to the Benevolent.—Owing to the loss of the whaling fleet, we have not received our usual amount for subscriptions and donations for the Frievd, yet we have published and distributed about 600 copies of each number among seamen and strangers. These have cost over $200, but a tenth of that amount has not been received for this particular purpose. Knowing that our paper is prized among seamen, we shall continue its free circulation and gratuitous distribution. The donation of any one esteeming it a privilege to aid in this enterprise will be most thankfully received. Pamphlets " Received.—We would acknowledge from the Bishop of Auckland, Minutes of Meeting of Diocesan Synod," containing interesting information respecting missionary efforts among the Maories. —From the Rev. Dr. Lobscheid, (of Hongkong, authorof the Chinese Dictionary) " The Religion of Dayaks," " Chinese-English Grammar," " Select Phrases in the Canton Dialect," and other pamphlets. —From Agent of L. M. Society in Sydney, " A Missionary Cruise in the South Pacific," on board the John WiUiams, among the Gilbert and Ellice groups of islands. Visitor.—Among the passengers by the last steamer from Australia, was James Bonwick, F. R. G. S.,and author of several works relating to Australia, viz., " Last of the Tasmanians," and " Daily Life of the Tasmanians." These books are beautifully illustrated and published in London, by Sampson, Low, Son & Marton. Also another work entitled " Curious Facts of Old Colonial Days." For many years he has been connected with the government schools in the Colony of Victoria; having prepared and compiled several primary school books. When we find a little leisure we intend noticing some of these books. While at Honolulu, he was the guest of J. T. Waterhouse, Esq., who was an old acquaintance. It is Mr. Bonwick's intention on his journey to England to visit Boston, for the purpose sf examining the public schools. Distinguished A Plea for the Monthly Concert. I am just home from the monthly concert of prayer for missions. It was a good meeting. They always are. Never a meeting in the month like them it seems to me. I have been in the habit of attending them ever since I was a child, and held on to my father's hands going to and coming from the house of the late Dr. A.of this city ; and some of my first deep impressions of the beauties of the stars and thence of Heaven above, were gained in those walks. I thought the meetings interesting then. I think them more so now. Often it seems as if those of us who are there, can say, " Master, it is good to be here." Yes, the Master is never absent, however few come to meet Him. There were only thirty-five present tonight. Sometimes there are fewer than thirty-five, and often there are many more. Why should there not always be a full meeting? Do Christians know what they lose in dropping the monthly concert? Do the young know that it is a place to gain information from all parts of the world ? Nay, more, to draw inspiration and get high aims in life. I have had a thought lately, which I give here as a question. If the monthly concert could be held on the afternoon of the first Sabbath of the month, would not many more be inclined to attend? There are feeble and infirm aged ones, ardent friends of Christ's Kingdom, who would gladly attend a service in the day time. There are living enthusiastic children who would willingly attend their mothers there. And young men could not plead business engagements on that afternoon, while the usual young men's prayer meeting could be merged into this once a month. Can we not do something more in the way of earnest united prayer for the precious souls for whom CHRIST died. One of the Thirty-five. Honolulu, November 6th, 1871. "We Accept the Situation." Mr. Palmer, a writer in the Boston Commercial Bulletin, also visited Honolulu many years ago, thus discourses about the good people of the Hawaiian Islands : " The innocent Hawaiians resemble very much the Chinese in their ideas of locality. 1 Why,' says the Mongolian philosopher, your map cannot be correct; you have put 'China away off to one side, while it really belongs in the middle.' To this day, in the counting rooms of Honolulu may be seen charts of the world on Mercator's projection, with Honolulu perched in the center, like a spider in her web, while the radiating lines of the web are represented by tracks drawn from the little island to the various nations of the Pacific. ' This shows,'as was significantly remarked to me, ' her commanding position ;' and for this reason, the remaining fraction of the world is supposed to be ever considering the feasibility of acquiring such an invaluable piece of property." �97 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 18.1. We hope the members and patrons of the Y. M. C.

"The Life of Jesus—The Christ." Eost heartily can we congratulate the itian and reading public that " The Life esus " has been written in a style both attractive and instructive. A single copy of the Rev. H. W. Beecher's Life of Jesus has reached the islands, and we were so fortunate as to obtain the first reading. We consider ourself highly favored, for ever since it was announced that Mr. Beecher was preparing this work, we have felt exceedingly anxious to read whatever he might write upon this subject. Volumes purporting to be Lives of Christ, have never been favorites with us. We have tried to read several selected from the " one hundred and fifty," but for some reason, we very soon became weary and laid them aside, turning to the four Evangelists, and from thence derived our knowledge of Christ's Life. Before seeing this volume we wondered if the result would be the same. Most agreeably have we been disappointed. Rarely have we perused a volume with such intense interest and delight, increasing as we advanced in the book. Our object will be to notice some of tne more salient points in the volume. This is the first impression made upon our mind. Mr. Beecher has treated the Bible as an inspired volume of Divine truth. He does not by any nice and doubtful method of reasoning, endeavor to unsettle the mind, respecting the Divine inspiration of the sacred scriptures, but on page 9th, of the introduction, thus remarks'. "We shall take our stand with those who accept the New Testament as a collection of veritable historical documents, with the record of miracles, and with the train of spiritual phenomena, as of absolute and literal truth. The miraculous element constitutes the very nerve-system of the Gospel. To withdraw it from credence is to leave the Gospel histories a mere shapeless mass of pulp." It was a great relief to our mind when we read this paragraph, because we have become heartily disgusted with that class of writers and commentators, who would excoriate the New Testament of its Divine element, and not leave us a book of any higher authority than the writings of Confucius, or a Hindoo Brahmin. Another impression which this book makes upon the mind, or rather another power which it has over the reader's mind, we are taken back to the very days of our Saviour. All the mists and fancies of the middle ages are swept away, and we are enabled to see our Saviour as be lived and moved about among tbe inhabitants of the world, eighteen hundred years ago. No writer has the power of reproducing the past, equal to Mr. Beecher. No Italian Painter—no one of the Old Masters ever sketched upon the canvas more vivid pictures of a by-gone age than has Mr. Beecher, the scenes of Nazareth, the interview of our Saviour with the woman at Jacob's well, and Mount Hattin, upon which Christ preached His sermon. Two yean ago, this month, we visited Jerusalem and Bethlehem, Bethany and the Mount of Olives, and we are sure that Mr. Beecher has described natural scenery in Palestine, tially completed his proposed undertaking, as it actually appears to the tourist's eye, and that in due time another similar volume will be published. Most sincerely we hope although he has never visited he may be spared to complete this great Those holy fields " acres walked those blessed feet, work, and if tbe second volume shall be Over whose Which, eighteen hundred years ago, were nailed executed in a manner corresponding with For our advantage to the bitter cross." the first, it will prove the " chef d'asuvre " Many writers, in treating upon the life the masterpiece of Mr. Beecher's numerous and teachings of our Saviour, go about their writings. undertaking very much after the manner of The book is published by J.

" A neighbor is one, who, from compassion and sympathy, ministers to the necessities of suffering fellow creatures. At the great fire at Chicago there were many who took the opportunity to plunder and steal; many draymen and hackmen who demanded fifty or one hundred dollars to take what some poor man hud saved from his burning dwelling, to a place of safety. Such were not neighbors. There are those who will pass by a vessel disabled at sea, without making any effort to ascertain if any of the crew are perishing on board. Such are not neighbors. There are those who invite and urge young men, perhaps young women also, to drink wine and other intoxicating drinks, thus bringing them within the outer circle of tbe maelstrom, with the probability that they will he draw n nearer and nearer the terrible Such center, and sink down' to perdition. are the opposite ofneighbors.. And those who. manufacture and deal in intoxicating drinks, must be plaoid in the same category. For the sake of mammon they minister to the depraved tastes and habits of their fellowmen, and thus help in making drunkards; and, as a consequence, make themselves responsible, in part, for all, - the woes that follow in the wake of drunkenness. At the Chicsgo fire there were many, whose hearts prompted tbem to act the neighbor's part. They were angels of mercy bearing away from the flames the feeble and disheartened, and doing all in their power to provide for those who had lost their all. And there are those among ship captains who do not listen to the suggestion that probably there is no one on board that disabled vessel. The possibility that there may be such decides them to send onboard nnd see; and the saving of the sole survivor in the last stages of starvation is the rich reward. Those who persuade the young never to taste that which intoxicates, or who influence moderate drinkers to become tee-totalcrs, perform a neighborly act, and their reward is sure. And how worthy the name of neighbor would he be, who persuades a manufacturer or dealer in inebriating drinks to give up his accursed business. He would be truly a friend to the man himself, and to thousands of others, who would in consequence escape manifold miseries. Young Men’s Christian Convention at Northampton, Massachusetts. From arprivate letter, we arc permitted to copy the following paragraphs, descriptive of this interesting gathering in the early part of October: The Massachusetts Young Men's Christian Convention held its annual meeting this year in Northampton. So much do we hear of the practical workings of this body in the State, that it was exceedingly gratifying to meet with some of the workers. If any of those engaged in the young men's work in Honolulu, have been discouraged in their undertaking, and the unsatisfactory results (because you know one always finds just snch people everywhere), I would they might have been present at this most enthusiastic gathering. We hear so much with regard to New England ice, and conservatism, that it does one's heart good to see such a hearty enthusiastic gathering as was this at Northampton. Delegates were sent from all parts of the State, bringing with them the record of their past year's work. The work was reported as most prosperous throughout the State, and as promising well for the future. The session lasted for two djryi, and was extremely interesting. Many new and novel features were introduced to render the exercises entertaining. Mr. Kowland, President of the Boston Young Men's Christian Association,' was as Usual very energetic and earnest—a really fine fellow. The afternoon service, which I attended, was opened with a Bible reading, by a Rev. Mr. parsons. He took several chapters in the Gospels, giving a running commentary upon them, in an exceedingly simple but very telling way. Dr. Webb, of Boston, delivered an elaborate address on the Sabbath question, showing the need of the present effort in this direction. No greater difficulty do the associations find in their difficult work than in opposing the increasing tendency in our great cities to the nonobservance of the Sabbath. By far the most interesting service I was able to attend was the open-air prayer meeting on the steps of the town-hall. Such a motley crowd as gathered round to hear the speakers and the sweet music of the hymns. There was something singularly impressive in the groups of rough men listening intently to this good news, so new to many of them. And as each speaker told tbe same sweet story, ever old yet ever new, of the love of Jesus and the notes of the old familiar hymns rang out with a strangely beautiful melody in the night air—it seemed as if indeed the Master stood there, and it was then as centuries ago, when he said " come unto me." So full of song are these Conventions that a praise-meeting seemed bat a fitting out growth of the general feeling. It was conducted by Professor Jourjei of Boston, a very hearty merry little man who counseled every one to sing mqst lustily. And they did so for an hour and more. With all the hundreds of voices and the aid of the organ— the music was wonderful in its power. The address of the evening was made by Rev. Thane Miller, the blind preacher. There was a singular pathos in his blindness which seemed to touch deeply his audience. He spoke most beautifully for an hour; a simple eloquence which was truly powerful. There was nothing slow and wearisome about the meetings, no hesitancy, none of that chilliness which prevails in so many gatherings of Christians. One came away with a heartier feeling oflove for God and men, and a firmer belief in this practical work for Christ. Here a Little, There a Little. There are 5,000,000 Sunday Bchool scholars in the United States, taught by 500,000 teachers. One teacher to ten scholars, which is about the proportion in oar Sunday schools.

Hoiyoke Seminary if it will open its doors to young men. The regular meeting of the Association for November was well attended. Discussions took place in regard to the literary supply of the Reading Room for the coming year ; to a change in the method of collecting subscriptions; to public literary entertainments; and to Sunday school work among the Chinese. Committees were pointed to report oa the) different items. It was decided to adopt the plan of subscribing by the members to the amount which they would contribute for a year or other definite movement tp time. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

S. C. Damon! [PUBLISHED BT REQUEST.] Psalm 107:23. 24—"They that go down to the sea in ships, aud dobusiness In great waters: Then* see the worka ol the Lord, and his wonders in the deep." Acts, 27:44—" And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land." Sometimes God speaks to man, by His Providence, as clearly and distinctly, as if tin audible voice was heard. Ordinarily men, in their carelessness and sin. neglect to recognize the hand of God in tbe affairs of common life, bat occasionally God makes His power and presence so manifestly felt that they involuntarily exclaim, in the language of the Egyptian Magicians to Pharaoh, " This is the finger of God." Much as we may endeavor to account for the changes and revolutions in the material and natural world, upon the operation of nature's laws, or the laws of the Universe, yet over and above all these, the minds of men are frequently so impressed that they cry out. as did Jacob of old, '■ Surely the Lord is in this place and I knew it not." Among tbe hundreds who have recently escaped safe to land, and been most signally delivered from extreme peril and danger, amid the rigors and terrors of the Arctic Ocean, I have not met with one who failed to recognize tbe interposition of a most kind Providence. To me, this has been exceedingly pleasant. I delight to hear men gratefully and reverently recognize God's presence. It is proper and becoming that we should always do so. No inspired or uninspired writer ever made more touching and appropriate allusions to the presence and agency of God, than the Psalmist David. The passage selected for our present consideration seems as if written for this occasion. Human language could not more accurately describe, in poetic style, the circumstances, deliverance, and present condition of those recently landing upon our shores, from the Arctic Ocean : "They that go down to tho sea In •bins, that do business lv great waters; these tee tbe works of tbe Lord, and bis wooden io the deep. For he commandetb, and ralseth the stormy wind, which liftetb up the wavei thereof. They mount up to the heaven they go down again to the depths: their soul Is melted .because of trouble. They reel to abd Iro, and stagger like a drunken mao, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord In their t rouble, and he brlngath them out of their distresses. He maketh tbe storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he brlngeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his gooduess, and for his wonderful works to the children of men I" The mariner sees manifestations of God's power, Buch as are not to be seen upon land. The land is stationary, but tbe sea is in motion. It can not rest, except when congealed, and then, even more than when in motion, God'g mighty power is manifest. So thought those who looked out upon an Arctic Sea, one day lashed by the winds, and the next, frozen into solid masses—aye. mountains of ice. One day, that sea permitting the ship to glide through its waters aa smoothly aa the bird cuts the air. but the next day, the waters of Jhat same sea holding that same ship in its tight grasp, as in a mighty *ise, or, rather, taking some of them and crashA ship," I overheard fine ing them to atoms. to remark. was crushed as easy as an egg-shell." In view of this vast display of the Almighty's power, the most thoughtless must acknowledge man's feebleness and weakness. c. For he, " " ft. Godl commandeth. and raiseth the" stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof." God has but to speak, to say tlie word, and the stormy winds go forth on their errands, to lash the ocean and sweep fleets from its surface. Who that has sailed much upon the ocean, has not often seen the winds to lift up the very waters, and mingle air and sea, so that you can scarcely discern the line of separation ? How aptly the inspired Psalmist describes the voyagers upon the deep when in a violent storm. mount to the heaven, they go down again "toThey the depths. Their soul is melted because of trouble. Jftiey reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are nt their wit's end." Does not this very accurately describe tbe uneasy position of the mariner in a storm ? " And are at their wit'send." All their wisdom is gone. What to do, they know not. Methinks, there were moments and hours, when tbe ice was making around your ships, that you were at your " wit's end." What to do. you knew not. Should you flee, or remain ? That wag the question. Every hoar you saw the icy barrier crowding down upon your ships, and on your lee was the barren, treeless, and desolate shore, while under their keels, there was barely water enough to float your ships. At such a time, and in such a place, and with such surroundings, it would not be strange if man should feel at " his wit's end." This Is the language of the masters of those ice-encircled ships : "We think It would not Be prudent to leave a single boul to lookafter oar vessels, aa the first westerly gale will crowd the Ice ashore, and either crash the ship* or drive them high upon the beach. Three of tbe fleet have already been crashed, sod two are now lying hove out, which have been crashed by tbe Ice, and are leaking badly. We have now Aye wrecked crews distributed among as. We have barely room to awing at anchor between the pack of Ice and tbe beach, and are lying in three fathoms of water. Should we be cast upon the beacb it would be at least eleven months before we conld look for assistance, and In all probability nine oat of ten woald die of starvation or scurvy before the opening of spring." Then they cry onto the Lord, and he bring"eth them oat of their distresses." T have no doubt that many earnest prayers went up from that large number of distressed 89 and hard-pressed {©ftSmeSsMsiu mariners. It has become a proverb that in a storm the sailor prays, however much he may neglect that duty at other times. A violent storm at sea, when death stares tho mariner in the face, brings him upon his knees before God. He does tben what he ought to do al all times, as our Saviour has taught that men ought always to pray, and not to fuint."" No duty is more plain and imperative than that of prayer to God, in times of prosperity aud safely, as well as of udversily aud danger—when sailing a smooth sea, as well us when in a storm. In this case God did verily bring these men out of their distresses. They were bard-pressed. Their written slulement is published to the world, that tbey were a company of men in distress. Satan sometimes speaks the truth, as he did in bis answer to God with reference to Job. "And Satan answered the Lord, and said, skin for skin ; yea, all that a man hath will be give for bit life." You gave up all. Ships and their valuable cargoes were sacrificed —were abandoned. " He, maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof ure still. Then are they glad because they be quiet." There were more than a thousand glad hearts, when the storm abated and tbe wind ceased its raging, and all in more than a hundred boats, were quietly wafted, by a gentle breeze, along that narrow but open passage, around Point lielcber to tbe open sea, where were found seven ships, with just sufficient accommodations to bring all safely out of tbe dangers and perils of the Arctic Ocean. Your deliveranceresembled that of tbe Israelites when passing through the Red Sea : " and tbe water* were a wall unto tbem on their right band and on their left." The icy barrier was a wall on your right hand, and the land on your left. The signal deliverance of so many from their perilous situation, affords a not inapt illustration of the deliverance ef sinners from that greater and more fearful destruction which awaits all who are unwilling to escape, by the passage which has been opened up from the City of Destruction to tbe gates of the Celestial City. To remain, would have been most fool-hardy and presumptuous. It was not to be thought of. Oaly one way of escape was offered. The open and narrow channel was the path-way ol safety. Your circumstances admitted of no delay. The present opportunity must be immediately embraced. It was now, or never ! This was the general feeling of all. As the angels aaid to Lot and his companions, when fleeing out of Sodom, Escape for thy life, look not behind thee, "neither stay thou in all the plain, escape to tbe mountains, lest thou be consumed.'' So tbe voice of Prudence—«m the angel of Safety, cried, in the hearing of those imprisoned mariners, Escape by this passage to tbe open sea., and "trust in God for a safe voyage to some desired haven." This is virtually the language of every gospel minister to sinners, In every land and all ages. on �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1871. 90 Ppe lives; the gospel-door is now for your Turn from the broad roud into the narrow Delay not." " So He bringeth them to their desired haven." How aptly these words of the Psalmist describe the manner in which liod ImtTi brought yon and your compuuions hither, lo this your much desired haven, flow pleasunt nnd grutifying after having escaped tbe dangerd and perils of a rough and tempestuous voyage, io cast anchor in a safe, quiet and peaceful harbor—a haven to be desired. " So God brings His people liuully lo their rest in heaven—their haven, their home. After being tossed by the tempests of life ; niter encountering its storms and dangers, the way becomes smooth and calm ; the end of tbe voyage is serene and death is like the ship smoothly gliding into port, with its suils all sot. The soul enters the desired haven—the port that was longed for ; a safe haven, beyond all storms or tempests; an eternal home!"—[Barnes.J In view of the works of the Lord and bis wonders in the deop,—in view of God's control over the winds and storms,—in view of God's marvelous deliverance and the preservation of those going down to tho sea in ships.—in view of God's all abounding goodness, the Psalmist breaks forth in the following animating words : "Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works lo Iho children of men." Twice before in Ibis same psalm had he uttered the same exclamation. In view of the wonderful display of God's wisdom, power and goodness, on land aud sea, and over all created intelligences, this overpowering impression weighed upon his ; mind—man's great obligation to rendor thanksgiving and praise unto God for his goodness and loving kindness, and providential mercies. Are not you, my hearers, now delivered from imminent duugers and perils, called upon to join in this grand chorus of thanksgiving and praise? You nave experienced a deliverance, well-nigh miraculous. The actual facts in the case without any embellishment or rhetorical coloring, when described in the simplest language, read more Never was there a like romance than reality. similar disaster recorded in the annals of maritime enterprise. We have frequently read of one or two ships abandoned and crews saved wholly or in psrt, but it is surely an unheard of event, for more than thirty ships, employing more than u thousand mon, to be abandoned, together with their valuable cargoes, and that too, on a bright morning in September. Methiuks 1 see that long fleet of boats loaded with provisions and manned by these hardy crews, commencing their journey along the narrow passage barely wido enough for a single boat. Onward moves the long procession of more than a hundred boats, retiring—uye, fleeing from the relentless grasp of that icy enemy. Manfully, brave men—and braver woman—faced the foe; inch by inch they contended, but silently and surely the icy barrier pressed down upon the fleet. There was no alternative but to retire, and that with all possible To remain was death, by cold and starhaste. vation. "We think," say the captains, "it would not be prudent to leave a single soul to look after our vessels." In this instance, as in many oth- ers, in the great struggle of life, "the better part of valor wus discretion." The first remark which I have to make, by the way of reflection, on this occasion is, that we are called upon to exercise the feeling of deepest gratitude to God. The moment wo begin to contemplate what otherwise might have been tbe remit, our minds are filled with tho most fearful and imaginings. Like Franklin and his brave comrades, all night have perished, and out one loft to tell the story of their starvation and death. How striking the contrast! In the case of Franklin, all pensked to a man ; now, all to a man were saved and b«)B»*ht away. This very morning arrived the last vessel with passengers from tbe wrecked vessels. Shall we not all gratefully give thanks? "Oh, that men would praise the liord for his goodness and his wonderM works to the children of men!" forebodings Secondly—Let me call your attention to tbe fact, that while all those ships and their cargoes were lost, all their crews were saved ; and why ? because they implicitly obeyed law. Water has its laws; heat and cold have their laws. Obey law and we are safe; ilisobey, and we perish. There is really no mystery about the deliverauce of all these human beings; all obeyed God's laws. You saw clearly what those laws were; you carefully watched the operations of God's nnvurying and uniform laws, nnd you saw what mast follow if you disobeyed and tarried too long in those cold regions. A nurrow passage, seemed left I open, as if by God's special providence, for the passage of your boats to an open Bea. Just so God has provided a narrow passage, but a safe one, to the regions of heavenly rest. Christ says ;"I am the wuy, lam the door; by me, if any one enter, he shall be saved." It is not "a broad road" us sailh our Kuviour. but a narrow path; follow that path and it will conduct you to a heiiveuly home and a haven of everlasting rest. Surely, there could not be a more apt illustration of Ihe gospel and the power of salvation, delivering from the etecnal ruin nnd death which sin is sure to indict upon one nnd all, who will not flee from '• the wrath to come." The Apostle asks, '.'How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation V" Thero is no other way of escape other than by the cross of Christ, "for there is no other name given under heaven and among men, whereby wo must be snved." As the hardy whiileinuii was compelled to flee and leave all bis hard-earned wealth behind him, so, fellow-sinners, must we fleo from sin, and leave the .world behind us, if we would be saved. You employed the menus at hand for your deliverance and salvation, so must we "work out our salvation with fear uud trembling." looking unto Jesus, "the .author and finisher of our faith." When the Apostle Paul was wrecked with "the two hundred, three-score and sixteen souls," all were saved because they obeyed Paul's instructions; so now you havo escaped because you obeyed God s laws and carefully wntchedhis providences. Let us all then obey the gospel call and flee unto Jesus Christ, who will safely deliver us from the ruins of the fall and our own sins, and will at last bring us to heaven, the haven for all weary, heavy-laden souls. I In our regular issue on the first of the month, we published a brief notice of the loss of the British whaleship Japan, in tne Arctic Ocean, on the 9th of Oct., 1870. Since that number appeared, one of the crew has f imißhed the following interesting narrative of the toss T me vessel, and some statements respecting the manner and customs of the Esquimaux, which will interest our readers : a“SoCTnhtriphudwirsfeeJck apan.” The bark Japan being tbe first whaler ever fitted out through Victorian Agency, no vessel ever left port with greater expectations or well wishes for prosperous voyage than she, when, on the sth of March with ber lofty canvas spread to a favorable breese, she soon left Melbourne and its happy reminisoenoes far in the distance.which we After a prosperous cruise, during visited several of the picturesque islands which New Zeabeautify the Soutb Paoiflc, we called atthe Arctio land, there to refit for a voyage to ocean, and for that purpose lay in tbe Bay of Islands, where, transhipping our oil, wo remained till tbe 9th of March, on whioh day we weighed anobor, and after passing through the tropics without any incident worthy of remark, arrived in the colder latitudes of tbe north. We sighted tbe first ice on the 28th of April, and after capturing ten whales we squared our yards for the south. On the morning of the Bth of October, a strong gale of wind sprung up from the N. E., during which all our boats were swept from tbe cranes. The gale increasing in fury during the night, and a heavy fog setting in next morning, the Captain was unable to obtain any observations, but sighting the ship Massachusetts running before the wind, and imagining the Captain of her must have a good idea of his where-abouts, determined to follow his example. The Japan being the faster vessel, soon left tho other astern, when all of a sudden to our consternation, we observed land right under our bows, too close however, to allow of our clearing it. She struck soon after with terrific force, the sea at the same time sweeping her decks fore and aft and carrying away everything offering resistance to its relentless force. The greater number of the crow jumped overboard and endeavored to reach the shore (a distance of about two furlongs) eight of whom perished in the attempt. Two more unfortunate men, refusing to leave the ship miserably perished there. Two men having reached the beach in safety, took a run, endeavoring to restore circulation to their almost frozen blood, and when doing so were greatly surprised at beholding the foot marks of a dog on the enow, which they tractcd for a considerable distance, and to their great delight, (the fog clearing off) espied an Es- ■ quimaux village. Immediately on doing so they returned to their almost despair comrades, who joyfully accompanied them to the village in which one more of our number had to succumb to the fearful cold. It may be necossary here to state, that the coast on which we found ourselves so suddenly placed, was that of the extreme north of Siberia, about 66° north latitude. On arriving at the village, the inhabitants of which though much surprised at our sudden appearance treated us with great kindness, giving us skin clothing in exchange for our ice covered garments, which they esteemed as a great prize, (very few of them over having Been a whito man before) at the same time placing before us some raw walrus in a state of semi-putrefaction, which in that state, being considered a great luxury among them, created no small surprise at our rejecting it. The gale decreasing, it fell a calm, consequently the whole ocean was frozen over, thus covering all that remained of our ill fated ship, at the samo time shutting off nil hopes of saving any provision. And to make matters worse, wood being unobtainable in this desolate spot, we were denied the luxury of a fire during the winter, either for culinary purposes or for warmth, which comforts are quite unknowp to this benighted race. It was a long time before we could partake of any of their food, which is served up under such revolting circumstances that decency forbids a minute description ; but as the proverb says, is tbe best sauce;" we bad to overcome "ourhunger scruples and after a few weeks could eat our share with any of them. Having come to the conclusion that exercise was the only means of preserving health, wo used to provide the houses with fresh water ice (for which we had to take long journeys), which being pounded up with oil is eaten with great gusto by tho natives. We also performed long journeys to the adjacent villages, (during which one more of our number had to succumb to tbe fearful cold) at all of which places we were received by the inhabitants with great hospitality, and we looked upon as little short ot deities. 1 having tbe fortune upon one occasion to stop an effusion of blood from a child's nose in a house I was visiting, by simply placing a piece of ice on its back, 1 was looked upon as something supernatural. The monotony of our winter life was only relieved by sleigh racing. In tbe spring, however, we performed long excursions with tlie natives after polar bears,seals, Ac. ; when we frequently met with the natives of the American or eastern �colder than their summer habitations, ns they only lay skins on the ground when about to sleep, which occupies the principal part of tho winter. The only daylight is admitted through holes cut in the rock, where in some instances ice is used in lieu of glass. Although the natives are devoid of any clothing, we could hardly keep ourselves warm with our clothes on in these mis- shore. They speak an entirely different dialect from those on the Asiatic side, and seem a much more savage race of people. In such pursuits we managed to pass tbe time until the month of March, on the 15th day of which the ice opening a little, a great numbor of whales were to be seen wending their way to the northward. A few days later, schools of walrus made their appearance, followed by large flocks of ducks which proved a great addition to our larder. The ice now breaking up, we lived in anticipation of seeing somo adventursome whaler forcing its way through an obstacle which the sun's rays were daily lessening. We were doomed to repeated disappointment, until the 16th of June, when to our immeasureable delight, we sighted the bark John Wells of New Bedford. But immediately on doing so it set in a dense fog, lasting for three days, at the end of which time we managed to get a canoe, which we hauled a great distance over the ice and at last launched it in the open water, when after paddling all day wo arrived on board at 8 P. Al., where we were received with great kindness by the Captain, who provided us with clothing. We erable dwellings. The women are employed during the summer months gathering gross, which they use when dry in their mocassins ; also some bitter herbs for edible purposes, which they collect in great quantities, while the men, during that season, are employed pursuing the whale and walrus in canoes. These are formed of walrus hide stretched on poles, and being very light nnd commodious, they manage with great dexterity.

The body is then arrayed in its best robes, and with all other personal effects placed on a sleigh, when it is conveyed some distance and there deposited, to be devoured by dogs, crows and other animals.

The deer of the Philadelphia parks are badly addicted to chewing tobacco, which visitors give to them through the railings of their enclosure. What influence then, shall be brought to bear to lessen and remove the evilsconnected with its use or abuse? We acknowledge the fact that these evils are great and widespread ; it is a humiliating truth that there are men who are content to make themselves exceedingly disagreeable by an intemperate use ; it is sad enough that so many men are so weak and shallow ns to idolize the narcotic stimulation and for its sake to sacrifice the pure and refined influences that come to men, sinking gradually but surely out of their reach, deeper nnd deeper into those lower stratus of existence characterized most by a mere sensual and animal contentment. The anti tobacco men say that " the weed," usually putting an adjective before the word weed which we do not consider necessary, must be swept from the universe and its use blotted out. If it could be really exterminated ; every plant, root, seed, leaf, plug, twist, cigar, cigarette and al! fine-cut, absolutely and forever destroyed, that would end tlie matter; the use and abuse of tobacco would speedily cease, and we should be satisfied; but until this is done it is as hopeless to expect that its use will come to an end within many centuries or before the millennium as it would be to expect that the use of salt, a very injurious article of food according to Dr. Graham, will cease in the same time. The prejudice of some people is so strong that they are unable to distinguish between moderate use and abuse. To know that a man smokes, to see him with a cigar or a pipe in his mouth is sufficient for their fullest condemnation. While the truth is, the difference or the gap, in matters of habit and effects, between a moderate and excessive smoker is far greater than that between a moderate smoker and one who does not smoke at all. The casual reader may suspect that this article is really a defense of moderate smoking, and that we agree with the ladies who like the aroma of a "good cigar" and perhaps such an inference might easily be drawn, but it will be seen that we have not discussed that feature of the question at all, that we have only spoken of its principle relatively and mentioned its facts historically : we have not space here, and perhaps not the conviction to justly nnd truly represent this part of the subject. But now we are on the field against intemperance and excess, and are free and nerved to run our best tilt against these cleat-lined and destructive foes of men, as well in this field, as in matters of eating and drinking. And we feel that we have the sympathy of most men and women in saying that no one has a right to indulge in a habit that makes him personally disagreeable to those about him : that no one has a right to injure his health, to prejudice his influence on men, or to do that which will lower and brutalize himself, for the sake of the simple satisfaction and pleasure of narcotic stimulation. No one has a right to carry an indulgence, which may even be perfectly right in itself, to that degree in which it will prejudice and interfere with a higher good or end. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The New Hotel.—Honolulu has been styled the " Hotel of the Pacific " but alas, where was the Hotel ? There were houses styled hotels, but there was no establishment worthy of the name, where the traveling community could find first class accommodations. If private enterprise could not start such an establishment, we are sincerely glad the Government has undertaken it. A good first class Hotel, we hold, to be an absolute necessity in Honolulu. Our situation enables us to speak knowingly respecting the necessity of a good Hotel. Having been brought into intimate relationship with strangers and travelers, we feel confident the house will be a success, provided a good keeper can be found. Under the circumstances the new Hotel should be leased on the most liberal terms. Most heartily we wish the enterprise success. The building is roomy, airy and convenient, and an ornament to the city. The view from the cupola is grand. Photographic Views of the Lost Fleet. —Mr. Thomas Thrum has caused to be photographed six views of the fleet in its various positions, before it was abandoned. One represents it at anchor and another crushed by the ice. The views were sketched by Mr. Waldemar Muller, a young German, who recently arrived from California, and is employed as a teacher of drawing at Oahu College. These views are for sale, at $6.00 per set, at Thrum's news depot. 81 f<M Series, fort.***. Liverpool Seamen’s Institute. The Ainos of Japan. We would acknowledge from A.

The Post reports that there has been no such gathering, since Prince Albert laid the corner stone of the Sailors' Home. When in Liverpool it was our privilege to visit this institution, then occupying temporary buildings in Duke street. It is estimated the new building will cost $100,000, most of which sum has already been raised. Our attention has recently been called to a remarkable race of people living upon one of the islands of Japan. This people appear to stand in the snme relation to the Japanese race, that the North American Indians do to the European races which have conquered them. We would acknowledge our indebtedness, to Mr. Lindau, the German gentleman now visiting Honolulu, who has Mr. Waterhouse’s New Store.—Among the substantial and solid improvements going forward in Honolulu, may be reckoned, this new store. It appears that Mr. Waterhouse has been engaged in business since 1861. The front of the store is ornamented with the British Coat of Arms. Everything in and about the establishment is indictative of business and thrift. The proprietor can furnish his customers with any article of merchandise from a needle to a crow-bar; a watch-chain to a cable; a breast pin to an anchor; a jewsharp to a/i accordion ; a lace cape to a gunny bag; besides a thousand and one other articles useful and ornamental.

He called our attention to a work in French entitled, " Un voyage Autour Dv Japon." This volume was published in Paris, in 1864, and embraces a series of letters written by Mr. Lindau, while sojourn* ing in that country. We take much pleas, ure in presenting our readers with some remarks upon " The Amos " of Japan, trans, lated from this volume. For the translation we would acknowledge our indebtedness to Prof. Checkering, of Oahu College : The island of Yezo is a conquest of Japan over a people once powerful and numerr ous, but now singularly reduced. It is situated north of the large island of Nippon and is separated from it by the Strait of Tsougar. It has the form of an irregular triangle, and embraces a hilly surface of 30,000 square miles, There are about 100,000 Japanese residents and 60,000 natives, called Amos. The Tychoon, the chief official of Japan, possesses a domain of vast extent upon which stands the large city Hakodade. The chief tenant of Yezo is the Prince of Matsmai, himself subject to the Tychoon. His possession* cover the greater part of the south eastof the island, and form a principality, of which the capital is Matsmai. This city is upon one of the extremities of the Strait of Tsougar and has from 10,000 to 15,000 inhabitants. It was not comprised among those ports opened to Europeans, and is scarcely known save by name. A foreign merchant whom desire of �82 111 X VRIE N D. NOVEMBER, 1871. trade and adventure had led to Matsmai was held a prisoner. He says that like the other Japanese cities it is neat and well managed, and contains, besides the residences of the prince and his suits, many temples. The rest of Yezo, not pertaining to the Tychoon nor the prince, is divided into equal portions among the seven grand princes of the north of Nippon, who defray the expenses of a garrison of 8,000 soldiers, for the defense of the entire isle, occupying military posts on the coasts. The Japanese population of Yezo is divided between the two cities Hakodadi and Matsmai, and some other places of less importance forming the principal port of the southern part of the island. This population live chiefly by fishing, and derive a considerable revenue therefrom; for fish abound to such an extent, that quite a flotilla of small merchant vessels is employed constantly in transporting them to the ports of the isle of Nippon. Comirierce and agriculture receive attention also. In the interior of Yezo we find the Amos. With no historical testimony we could not, seeing their actual condition, recognize in them the forever masters of the island. They dwell apart from the coasts, where are found the large cities, and appear only in spring and autumn to exchange their furs arid fish for rice and clothing. Their manriers, their appearance, their language, all differing from the Japanese, attach this population, whose origin is unknown, to some family on the Asiatic continent. They are commonly small, short and thick set, with poor forms, but of great strength. Their forehead is large and prominent,* their eyes black and soft, and are horizontal like those of Europeans. They are white although somewhat tanned ; but a particular characteristic of their appearance, and which contributes toward giving them a savage aspect in the wonderful length to which their abundant hair grows. It is heavy and bushy; their beards are stiff, and oftentimes the whole body is covered with hair resembling bristles. They are pleasant and tractable. On coming close to them we can easily see the mild expression of their character under their coarse hairy features. The women, printer has furnished an outline of the head of an * OarIndlr-stlnf Alan, the protuberance in front, making thehead to bare the appearanceof a person with water on tbe brain." vs c are told this failure la universal. " naturally ugly, seem to delight in making themselves more hideous, and have adopted a fashion which recalls the Japanese practice of the black teeth. They paint their lips blue from the nose to the chin. The dress of the Amos does not differ essentially from that of the lower class in Japan. The men wear tight pantaloons, and an over garment girdled by a sash. The women one or more robes according to the weather. They make these after a very coarse fashion ; they consist simply of straw or sea weed woven. The little children have a lively and intelligent air which wears off as they grow older. When the little ones are not compelled to go far, they walk behind their parents ; if the journey is long, they are placed in a net and slung upon the back, and the porter holds the ends of the net before him. Their language is not yet, I think, the object of special attention in Europe, and it approaches no known language. Hence it is very difficult to fix their phrases, for the reason, that the language has never been reduced to a written form. Yet they guard by tradition the memory of some grand poems, known among the Japanese, in which are celebrated frequent combats sustained by them against bears and huge fishes. Bears and fishes representing the chase and fishing, the sole employment of the Amos, are a part of the gross religion they possess. Their chief divinity is the bear. The Japanese conquest has introduced among them some elements of Buddhism ; but they are so entangled in the idolatry of the Amos as to be scarcely discernible. One of the most curious of their ceremonies is that accompanying the dissection of a bear slain in the hunt. They proceed with a profound respect and constantly bow and pray to the dead divinity. The head of the beast is sacred, and instead of eating it they hang it over the door as a talisman against the influence of evil spirits. In this intelligent nineteenth century the Amos present the image of a people which have not passed the infancy of humanity. They live in societies of ten or twenty families, and are easily governed by chiefs of their own blood, whose power is hereditary but very limited, as to the conquering race alone belongs official jurisdiction. Their dwellings contain only utensils for hunting, fishing and cooking. Their manners are very pleasant, hospitable, benevolent, also timid and contrast strangely with the dangerous employments they engage in. Monogamy which they seem to have practiced while independent, has given way to Japanese customs, and to-day all the Amos have as many wives as they can support. The marriage celebration does not differ materi- ally from the Japanese. The dowry of the bride consists of fishing and hunting impleplements, and a greater or less quantity of dried fishes and furs, the principal weajth of the Amos. In the history of the fallen race their are few definite epochs. They know almost nothing of their past, yet remember that their ancestors were masters of Japan, and they narrate a strange legend about their origin, resembling somewhat the history of the creation of the human race which the people of the Occident possess. " Sometime after the earth rose out of the waters, a woman came to live on the most beautiful of the isles which should belong to the Amos; she came upon a ship that the winds and favoring waves brought to the Occident instead of the Orient. With her she brought bows, arrows, lances, knives, nets, all the implements necessary to chase the fallow deer which abounded in the forests, and to procure the fish which filled the sea and the rivers. For many years this woman dwelt happy and alone in a garden still existing, but which no mortal can discover. One day while returning from the chase she felt weary, and to refresh herself, went to bathe in the river which separated her domains from the outside world. Suddenly a dog appeared, and swam toward her rapidly ; affrighted she ran from the water and concealed herself behind a tree. The animal followed and asked why she had run away. She replied that she was afraid. ' Let me remain with you,' said the dog, ■ I will be your attendant, your protector, and you need fear nothing.' She consented and from the union of these two creatures, sprung the Amos, which means men." To this fable are joined many others, all affirming that the Amos, who to-day people the archipelago of Kouriles of which Yezo is the central island, came from the Occident. It is sure that their origin was upon the Asiatic continent, and probable that it was in the interior. It is sure that they bear no resemblance to their neighbors the Guilakes, the Tougouses, the Manchoos, and the other people now living upon the east slope of the north of Asia. This race remains entirely isolated. Crushed under the pitiless judgment of the Japanese, reduced to a state of misery and slavery, which has suffocated in them the instinct of progress, it descends with rapid step to that great tomb of conquered and unknown races, when soon it will repose side by side with its neighbors, and companions in suffering, the Kamchatdales and the North American Indians. Formerly it had some glory. In remote times, 600 years before Christ, the Amos were masters of the provinces north of the great isle of Nippon, and under the reign of the first Mikado, Sin Moun, the Japanese treated �Ml E them as equals if not superiors; but their force waned as they came in contact with the Japanese. Little by little they lost ground, power and influence, and forced to cross again the strait of Tsougar they were borne to theirancientpossession, the Kouriles. The Japanese drove them even beyond this archipelago; one of their generals fought them a long time, but submitted to the imperial government near the end of the I4th century. After this they were never able to arise from servitude to the Japanese who subjected them and kept them down. They only dare approach their masters with marks of the deepest respect, and they pay a considerable tribute of dried fishes and skins to the Tychoon and the Prince of Matsmai, chief of the vassals of the isle of Yezo. Formerly every spring a delegation of Amos went to Veddo to show submission and pay tribute to the Tychoon. Now this double duty is accomplished at Hakodade before the Governor, (O-bungo.) The deputation pronounce certain conventional formulas on arriving; each member (there are four or five commonly) receives a cup fillled with sakki, (a spirit made of rice), which he drinks after making a libation to the gods and to the temporal vassals of Yezo. The payment of tribute is regulated by the help of under-officers. To know this strange people one ought to go into the interior of the island to their homes away from the eye of the masters. The Amos love strangers, offer them all they posses; on departing they are perfectly satisfied if you give them a handful of tobacco nnd a flask of spirits. At Hakodade; they are ill at ease and of wonderful timidity at what ever distance they may be from the spectator. Editorial, Remarks.—We would add a few additional remarks respecting this remarkable people. Their history, it appears, can be traced several centuries before the Christian Era. In the Xlth volume of the Proceedings of the Boston Society of Natural History, published in 1868, we find a most interesting paper relating to The Amos. It was communicated by A. S. Bickmore, Esq., who visited The Amos some years ago, in company with the United States Consul and the Governor of Yesso. The following remarks upon the history of this people will be read with interest: "As they have no written records, the earliest accounts of this people have come down to us through Japanese histories. Ac- cording to a Japanese chronology, compiled from the best sources and kindly translated for me by Father Nicholai, of the Russian Legation, Jin-mu, the first Japanese emperor, appeared on Kiusiu at Hunga (or Hewngnga) in B.

NOVEMBER, 1871. 84 THE FKIEND. NOVEMBER 1, 1871. Arctic Fleet Ice Bound ! 33 SHIPS* LOST ! 1,200 SEAMEN ARRIVED! ONLY t BHIPB SAVED. Tbe story of the great disaster which has befallen the whaling fleet is best told, in the subjoined document, signed by the masters of the lost ships. Point Belches., Ancnc Ocean, > Boptember 12, 1871. Know nil men by theae presents, that we, tbe undersigned, musters of wlmleshipe, now lying at Point Belcher, after holding a meeting concerning onr dreadful situation, bare all come to the conclusion that oar ships cannot be got out this year, and there being no harbor that we can get oar Teasels into, and not having provisions enough to feed our orews to exceed three months, and being in a barren country where there is neither food or fuel to be obtained, we feel ourselves under the painful necessity of abandoning our vessels, and trying to work our way south with our boats, and if possible to get on hoard of ships that are south of the ice. We think it would not be prudent to leave a single soul to look after our vessels, as the first westerly gale will crowd tbe ice ashore, and either crush the ships or drive them high upon tbe beach. Three of the fleet have already been crushed, and two are now lying hove out which hare been crushed by the ice, and are leaking badly. We have now five wreaked crews distributed among us. We have barely room to swing at anchor between the paok of ice and the bench, and are lying in three fathoms of water. Should we be oast upon the beach it would be at least eleven months before we could look for assistance, and in all probability nine out of ten would die of starvation or scurvy before the opening of spring. Therefore, we have arrived at these conclusions—after the return of our expedition under command of Capt. D. R. Fraser of tbe Florida, he having with whaleboats worked to the southward as far as Blossom Shoals, and found that the ioe pressed ashore the entire distance from our position 'to the Shoals, leaving in several places only sufficient depth of water for our boats to pass through, and this liable at any moment to be frozen over during twenty-four hours, which would cut off onr retreat even by the boats, as Capt. Frater had to work through a considerable quantity of young ioe during his expedition, which cut up his boats badly.

Erom the Advertiser of Oct. 23d we copy itself upon the mind of every one, tbat in order to save tbe lives of their orews tbey would have to abandon their ships. None but those similarly situated could tell bow difficult it was for them to arrive at this painful conclusion, and to winter was ntterly impossible, as their provisions would not last onethird of tbe winter, which is nine months in duration in these latitudes. And then to what purpose could it be done, as there was no place of safety for the ships ; had tbey been in a harbor some of tbe orews might have been left to take oare of them, and keep the natives from destroying them. But as they lay in the open sea exposed to every storm, the chances were that they would all be destroyedby tbe ice. Under these trying circumstances they were forced to come to the conclusion to abandon the ships to save their lives, and the colors were accordingly set as agreed on—at the mast-heads—to notify all the ships companies to get ready to leave on tbe 14th of Sept. The Masters of the distressed vessels knew if they were caught by the bad weather, the chances were that they would never get back again, after being blown off. Thus, although they were ready to stay any length of time by their ships as long as they could be sure of a ship to take them off at tbe last moment, and that time bad now arrived, and as every one regretted leaving their ships, still there was no alternative. Starvation and death awaited them should they be obliged to stay ; accordingly, boats were loaded with suoh provisions and clothing as were absolutely necessary, and by 4 P. M. every ship's company had left, and were on their way south. As they made their way down the coast tbey found the ice much worse than they had any idea of, and a great deal of shoal water besides, so that even if they had succeeded in getting the brigs over the bar at Wainwright Inlet, they never could have got them in the clear water south ! At night tbey camped on the beach, and at daylight on the 15th, tbey proceeded on their way to Icy Cape ; it blew strong from the south, and when they came in sight of the ships they found considerable difficulty in getting off to them, as the boats were loaded deep and the sea rugged. The bark Arctic Midas and Progress, lost each an anchor in trying to bold on to take them on board, tbey were very kindly received on board these ships—seven in number as before mentioned. The boats were cut adrift, as it was impossible to save them, the ships being so orowded. On the 16th, the last boats, crews were taken on board, and the wind blowing strong from NW, they weighed anchor and steered to SW, it having been agreed between the Captains of tbe ships to proceed to Plover Bay, and there get water and wood to last them on the passage to the Sandwich Islands. This was dono by five of the ships, the Arctic Progress, Midas, Lagoda and Europa, which arrived there on tbe 24th, and sailed again on tbe 26th. The distance traversed by the boats after abandoning the ships before reaching the ships South of Icy Cape, was about 70 miles ; the ice being in one solid body all the way to Icy Cape, leaving a narrow strip of dear water along thebeach —the entire distance—but also very shoal. Terrible Shipwreck and Loss of Eleven Lives. By the arrival of the steamer Motes Taylor, Oct. we have tbe following, distressing account of human suffering and loss of life at sea. The brig Shelehoff, Capt. Hopken, it will be remembered, took a cargo of oattle from these Islands to Tahiti in De- 22d, cember of but year. The following statement from the pen of H. M. Whitney, Esq., who was a passenger by the steamer, will be read with absorbing interest: On Thursday, Oot 19th, at 8 a.v., a sail was discovered by the wheelman on the steamer Motes Taylor. The vessel lay directly in the steamer's track, and appeared to be disabled, having but one mast standing, and only her lower topsail set, running before a fresh southeast wind. On approaobing her, It proved to be a brig, water-logged, with her mainmast carried away, apparently deserted, no persons appearing in sight on board. It proved to be tbe American brig Shelehoff, 218 tons register, of San Francisco, bound to Callao with a cargo of lumber. Tbe survivor was Capt Luder Hopken, the last of twelve persons on board at the time of the disaster. The brig was caught in s cyclone on the night of July 3d, the same date of the solar * • * * as follows : � On tbe 18th of September another meeting was eclipse. held by the Masters, the painful fact having forotd The accident occurred in N. lat. 16and W. long. • • • 117, about 620 miles south-west of Cape St. Luces. The wreck was fallen in with in X. Ist. 26.40, W. long. 148.62. about 400 miles north-east of Hawaii, showing that tbey bad run nearly 2,000 miles in 109 days. The brig sailed from San Francisco June 22d, with 210,000 feet of lumber on board. » Too much praise cannot be given to Capt. Bennett, of the Motet Taylor, for sending a boat from the steamer to examine tbe wreck, which, to all appearance, was abandoned, and when nine out of ten shipmasters would probably have thought it a waste of time to stop and examine her condition. But his humane course has saved the life of one person, whose gratitude nowords can express. » In conclnsion. Capt. Hopken desires me to give his heartfelt thanks to Capt. Bennett, Dr. Woodbridge and Mr. Beals, who so kindly nursed him, and to the passengers on board tbe Motet Taylor, who have contributed so liberally to bis wants. Henky M. Whitnet, Passenger. • • • * • • The following paper was prepared by Captain Hopken, Sept. 10th, on board the brig, to be left in case no one survived.

No lives lost. She had taken no oil. The vessel was taken to Plover Bay for repairs, but sunk after being hove down. Captain Hays, chartered a schooner nnd fell in with the Emily Morgan, and then returned and wrecked the ship, and subsequently distributed the crew among the fleet. Drinking Habits of Americans.—A young literary Englishman who has spent some time m this country, in a magazine article says that, although he has heard that there is a great dent of drinking in the Northern suites, as far as his observation goes, Americans are the soberest race of men under the sun. Scarcely any Englishman ever thinks of dining without a glass of wine or ale, while few Americans drink noththing but ice-water at dinner. In the dining-halls of all the great hotels, ice-water is the rule, and wine or beer the exception. Teetotalism among cultivated Englishmen is almost as strange as immoderate drinking, while here it is something indispensable.— Amerinan Paper.

Miller, carpenter; and seaemn, as follows, Henry Collins, Sydney; J. C. Martin, New Haven County; James Armstrong, Liverpool; William Wolworlh, London or Melbourne; James Mucr, of Hobartown, was frozen to death.

The crew of this vessel lived eight months and seventeen days among the Esquemaux Indians, and were treated with great kindness by them. There was a village of 300 natives near to the place where the Japan was wrecked. Some of the crew report that the natives complain of the want of food, in consequence of the whalers killing so many of the walrus, which is there only food. In view of the kindness of the natives to this ship's crew, we sincerely hope the British Government will in some way testify its appreciation of their conduct. In regard to the propriety of forbidding whaleships to take walrus for the mere matter of a few pounds of ivory and a few gallons of oil, we think there can be but one opinion. Hereafter, walrus ought not to be wantonly killed, fur ivory and oil. The walrus is the main staple, or rather the only food of the inhabitants of those cold regions. We have heard one shipmaster express the opinion, that the loss of so many ships, was a judgment for killing the walrus ! Koro, the young Japanese who has embraced Christianity while in an American college, honorably wrote to the authorities in Japan that he felt bound, in honor, to inform the government of his conversion and changed purpose in life, in order that they might release him from his responsibility for the other students, and no longer provide for his support. To this he received a reply from the proper official, that he should continue his studies under their auspices as before, and retain his charge of the other students, at the same time securing an increased allowance for his support. �87 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 187 1.

Here a Little, There a Little. Queen Victoria quietly worships in a Presbyterian church in Scotlsnd, without noticing the weak and absurd fault-finding of some of the State-church papers. Philosophical metaphysics may be a good thing, but too much of it in a Sundayschool is likely to be dangerous. " 'Mary, do you think there are harps in Heaven ?' ' Yes, sir, mother says there are.' ' No, no: there are none, there are none.' ' John, do you think there are crowns and palms in Heaven ?' Oh, yes sir, my mother says ' there are.' No there are not. All these ' things are symbolical, children. Heaven is an efflorescence of our being into a higher slate.'" Mr. Oliver P. Emerson, formerly of this island, and lately graduated from Andover Theo. Sem., has just been ordained in Lynnfield, Mass., in a young and flourishing society. Perhaps in no part of the world do the Chinese receive better or more civilizing influences than in San Francisco. The energetic and intelligent efforts that have been and are constantly made to reach and educate them, already have produced the most encouraging results. They are becoming enlightened and liberal. They support with success a Y. M. C. A. in the city. It is probable that the influence that has been exerted upon them through the Chinese Sunday-schools, which have been carried on with much enthusiasm, has been greater in effecting this promising condition of things than all other influences combined. The experiment of Sunday-schools for Chinamen here is well worth trying. We are not aware that anything of the kind has ever been' done, with the exception of the night schools which have been held for a year or two past in town. It is only a comparative few who feel like or are able to attend these, while a large number would be at liberty on Sunday and might be disposed to attend on that day. We are surely doinglittle enough in ft religious way for the race who are destined before long to form the bulk of our populatrerr. The issue efDarwin's " Descent of Man " has provoked a Vast amount of criticism, serious and satirical, which is perhaps not strange, as the virtuous weakness of worshiping one's ancestors, existing in its primitive form in China, is still common among the more civilized western nations. With many, Darwin's views are regarded as inconsistent with religion, and he is boldly challenged as trying to cast doubt on Sacred What do tbej come to this country for? What tempts them to leave their parents, friends and country, and come to this, to them unhealthy climate? Is it for gain or profit that tbey corns?

No tbey seek, like the mango tree, to bear fruit for the benefit of others, and this, too, though treated with contumely and abuse from those tbey are benefitting. Now look at this missionary ! He came here a few years ago, leaving all, and seeking only our good ! He was met with cold looks and suspicious glances, and was shunned, avoided, and maligned, lie sought to talk with us of what he told us was tbe matter of most importance in heaven or earth, and we would not listen. But he was not discouraged. He started a dispensary, and we said, Let the Pariahs take his medicines, we won't ;' but in the times of our sickness, and distress and fear, we bad to go to him, and he beard us. We complained if he walked through our Brahmin streets ; but ere long, when our wives and daughters were in sickness and anguish, we went and begged bim to come, even into our inner apartments, nnd he came, and our wives and our daughters now smile upon us in health. Has be made any money by it? Even the cost of the medicines has not been returned to him. "And now, in spite of our opposition, he has bought this site, and built this beautiful room, and furnished it with the choicest of lore in many languages, and put in it newspapers and periodicals, which were inaccessible to us before, but which help us now to keep up with the world around us, and understand passing events ; and be has placed here tables to write on, and chairs to sit on, and lamps for us to read and write by in the evening: and what does he get for all this? Does he make money by this free reading-room ? Why, we don't even pay for tbe lamp-oil consumed night by night as we read. Now, what is it makes him do all this for us? It it hit Bible. I have looked into it a good deal at one time and another, in the different languages I chance to know. It is just the same in all languages. Tbe Bible—there is nothing to compare with it in all our sacred books for goodness, and purity, and holiness, and love, and for motives of action. Where did tbe English-speaking people get all their intelligence, and energy, and cleverness, and power? They owe them all to their Bible. And now they bring it to us and say, 'This is what Free Rending Rooms—Their Importance. raised us ; take it and raise yourselves! * They do not force it upon us, as the Mohammedans did with The following speech, was made by a Hin- their Koran, but they bring it in love, and translate into oar languages, and lay it before as, and say. doo Brahmin.

The testimony to the in- tion of this land." History. To the man who has been brought up to a strict literal interpretation of the Old Testament in its King James version the new theory is something of a shock; and it is perhaps naturally difficult for him in his religious self-veneration to acknowledge Darwin's man as more than a fiction. Whatever may be the future of this particular branch of the discussion, it is remarkable lo what an extent the theory of Natural " Selection" first discovered by Wallace Bnd further developed by Darwin, is being adopted by scientific men all over the world. This theory as the ground-work and pervading principle of Darwin's startling conclusions is of the highest importance. In Germany his doctrines are widely adopted. In England and America they are fast spreading, especially among the younger scientific men. One of the most interesting examples of conversion to these views is that of Sir Charles Lyell the great geologist. After having for fifty years studied the subject of life in relation to the past geological changes and embodied the older views in his numerous works, he has at last in his tenth edition of his " Principles of Geology " abandoned those views as untenable, and adopted the views represented by Darwin. The prompt interference of the Minister of the Interior with the coaling and freightning of the Webb steamers on Sunday, the 22nd ultimo, is a graceful assurance of quiet Sundays in the future, and significant of a favorable solution of the Sabbath questions in our community. : " ' " " ' fluence of the Bible, Free Reading Rooms and missionaries is somewhat remarkable: "Behold that mango tree on yonder roadside!

It is seldom that we visit this place, but we did on n lute occasion, when two seamen were undergoing their trial for an assault upon their officers. They belonged to a vessel from China. We listened to the evidence, and we have seen by the newspapers that they have been sentenced, but in a way, not at all corresponding with the nature of their crime. Why not? Most manifestly because, the second officer during the passage from China, had behaved in a most brutal and criminal manner. While the seamen were guilty of a most criminal assault upon their officers, and deserved severe punishment, one of those officers deserved to be as severely punished, yet he was allowed to escape, "Scot free," and has gone forward in the vessel to practice his brutal conduct unless taught to reform by this lesson. If brought before a Court of Admiralty, we doubt not, he would have been severely punished. We allude to this subject, because we think many of the troubles on ship-board originate in the after part of tbe ships. When those in command respect themselves, seamen will respect them and obey their commands and orders. We know of ship masters and officers sailing out of this port, about whom seamen never make any complaint. The late Commodore Paty, who made 170 passages between these islands and California, was a most wise man in manairing sailors. His words were few, and 73 .tOl.-Jstries.-501.21i.

One of our American correspondents thus writes us: "Mr. Hunnewell gives a great many elegant dinners, and leads the life of a literary gentleman of fortune. He entertained the Japanese Embassy lately in splendid style. The house has undergone a most magical change. He lias a house large enough to satisfy his f.mcy. The parlor is hung with heavy crimson, embossed crimson paper, crimson carpet, in fact it is the crimson room.

We wonder if Virgil, Horace, or Cicero, in their sumptuous villas, had a " smoking room !" one who will carefully examine this , must see that it required years to colthe materials, and then a most peculiar literary and antiquarian taste to arrange the same in this species of mosaic composition. What a guide-book is to the traveler, when visiting London, Paris or Rome, this book of Mr. Hunnewell is to the reuder of Scott's writings. Most heartily, we congratulate the readers of Scott that they should have found so laborious, peculiar and pains-taking a literary toiler. He has thus reduced Scott's works of fiction to plain matter-of-fact prose. Shakespeare says my : The poet's aye, in fine frenzy rolling, "Doth glanoe from heaven to earth ; And, aa Imagination bodies forth The forma of thing* unknown, the poet's pen Turna them to shapes, and gives to aiiy nothing, A loo_ habitation and a name." In a moct eminent degree Sir Walter Scott has verified this idea so beautifully expressed. Now, Mr. Hunnewell, while reading Scott's works and all books illustrative thereof, gathered many hints, historical and geographical, and starting out with these as his guides, visit* all those places inhabited by Scott's imaginary beings, then returning home with his well-stored port-folio and diary, notes and memoranda, sits down to the labor which eventually results in this interesting volume, the title of which stands at the head of these remarks. We also congratulate the writer in having executed the work in so satisfactory a manner. It is an undertaking which but few literary men would have the taste, leisure, means and ability to execute, while the amount of reading and research required would tusk the patience of no ordinary man. The more we understand the meaning which the writer would give to this word, but we do not see any more propriety in coining a new word to express the idea intended, than in coining the word hadish to express the opposite idea.

A., London, 1869. 291, pp. Student Life at Amherst. Its organisation—Their membership and history—By G.R. Cutting. Jim/ierst,\Bll. 204,pp. We find these two instructive and representative volumes lying on our table. Each one merits a much longer notice than our space will allow for both. The first presents a graphic and entertaining description of student-life in Cambridge University, old England, and the second presents the outlines of student-life in one of the best New England colleges. The foundations of the University on the " C:nn," were laid a thousand years ago, while those of Amherst were laid only one half-centnry. If all the folleges of New England, Vale. Amherst, Williams, Harvard, Dartmouth, Middlebury, Vermont University, Washington, Tufts, Bowdoin, Waterville, Brown, and one or two more, were brought together, and still maintained their separate endowments, and were duly organized into n university, they would form an institution, resembling the old and venerable " Cambridge," on the •• Cam." As our readers, in the last number ol the Friend, were so abundantly supplied with notices of Amherst College, we shall now confine our remarks to the first publication, viz., '• On the Cum." The history of this book is briefly as follows :—A son of the lute Edward Evorett, of Boston, graduated at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., in 1859. He immediately sailed for England, and entered Trinity, Cambridge, where he remained four years, going through the regular course of study, contending for its prizes, and finally carrying off some of its highest prizes and honors. After graduating, he returned to America, and during the months of January and February, 1864, delivered a course of twelve lectures, before the Lowell Institute, in Boston. The volume before us embodies these lectures, and they are worthy of the attentive perusal of any one who desires to learn the course of study and the internal government of this anrietit and renowned English University. Oar attention was first called to these lectures, during our visit to Cambridge in February, 1870. We enquired of a member of the University for some book which would give us a good idea of the University. His reply wan, " Let me recommend a book by one ol your own countryman, Mr, Everett, a graduate of Trinity." We then and there purchased the book, which hid just been printed in England, utid we have read the volume with intense interest, It pre* ■ g°od idea ofa indent's life and of the course of study, strangely contrasting, however, with the method pursued in most American colleges. Mr. Everett discourses most delightfully and charmingly upon some of the great men of the Univesity, among whom may be numbered, Erasmus, Bacon, Newton, Bently, Barrow, Pitt, Macuulay nnd many others. His sketch of Milton is so noble and eloquent, we cannot refrain from copying it. " In no part of history, ancient or modern, is there a life of such intense though melancholy interest as that of Milton. His course at college is represented by old tradition to have been a contest, and a bitter one. with the authorities. It is not unlikely that that fearless spirit, that dared confront the direst anathemns of church and state, may have incflrred the censure of some academic martinet,—but it is impossible that the college life of so good a scholar, and so pious a man, could have been a series of rebellions nnd punishments. For the ten years after leaving Cambridge, the life of Milton is like his own Eden, a living garden of all the fruits most exquisite to a young man ; personal beauty of an enchanting perfection,— the devoted friendship of some of the choicest spirits of the age, and experienced in nil the delights of a tour in Italy,—v welcome itt the delightful country mansions of the English nobility, where ihe urt of living is understood ns nowhere else in the world, —the attention of all observers, attracted more and more each year to the exquisite beauties of his occasional lyrics. Had Milton died at thirty, he would have been universally esteemed one of the happiest of men. In 1641, his life changed. Liberty and truth were assailed by tyranny and bigotry, and calmly this young and elegant poet comes forward to grapple in the death-struggle. For ten more years his life is given to a defence ol the great principles on which he believes justice and truth to rest. He knows full well what the issue of such a fight must be, and what the world would require at his hantls, and not for an instant docs he falter in his great work, till he has won a name, as a statesman, that sounds through Europe. Had he died in 1652, twenty years after leaving college, he would have lost some private happiness, but he would have died in the full enjoyment of well-earned fume. But for twenty-two more years he must struggle with all the ills that flesh is heir to. First went those rich dark eyes, that had won the heart of the Italian princess,—still he could bear to lose them in the cause of liberty, as long as his mighty protector, the protector of England remained. But the Stuarts returned, and to the sting of blindness, and of thnt slow but too often surefooted guest, poverty, was added a siorni of obloquy and contumely for what they were pleased to term heresy and treason. The Duke of York, afterwards the last and worst of the Stuart kings, who loved to see the Covenanters put to torture, and stood silent while his own nephew crawled in chains to his knees and begged for life, —delighted to expend the energies of hut narrow, superstitious, bitter mind in insults and injuries on the poor old man. The sweet presence of woman's love, that has so often breathed consolation to a hundred wretched hearts, was poisoned for liiin by countless trial . But all availed not to slay that immortal soul. Blindness could not check tbe keenness of that vision, to whom myriads of Starry lamps and biasing cressets, fad " With naphtha and aaphaltua, yielded light Aa from a iky,"— who beheld the angelic squadron turning fiery red at the insults of the enemy of Ood. No poverty could check that boundless imagination that built up the opal towers of heaven and adorned its battlements with living sapphire, that laid out the walks fragrant with cassia, nurd, and balm, that raised Seleucia, Rome, and Athens, from their ruins by the splendor of his descriptions. Servile parliaments and haughty princes might revile or torture the breaker of the golden image and the assertor of the liberty of tho press. But what cared he, who had but to dictate five words# in his majestic picture of the sun in eclipse, and straightway trionarclis were perplexed with fear of change. The fanatical Sherlock and the bigoted Saneroft might fix on him a thousand charges of heresy, but it was nothing to him who felt himself already admitted within the veil, and holding communion with heaven itself iv the solution of its eternal history, and its transcenili'ut mysteries. The frigid conceits of the pist age, and the senseless bombast of his own, could not break one of the thousand strings in his heavenly harp; the servility and fanaticism of a whole nation could not shako one lofty and free thought in his breast; the bestial licentiousness of the sons of Belinl that thronged the court could not cast one spot on that snow-like purity. All honor then to the defender of liberty,— reverence and homage to the champion of religion. Thrice echoing shouts of glory, and ever-blooming showers of laurel to the profound statesman, the elegant scholar, the consummate poet, the revealer of Hell and Heaven and Paradise ! And let no meaner name sully our lips to-night than that of the greatest son of Cambridge, John Milton." Things Greater than Wealth. DRBEYV.BUSHNELL. We must not forget to notice here how many greater things than wealth, and more to be desired, there ore—nay, more to be desired, in the long run. for the sake of wealth itself, if that were any tit motive. Strictly speaking, there is no money value in anything but money ; and yet whatever good comes round, after many turns, to yield money, has, in some sense, that kind of value. Works of art, going into the souls of a people, kindle sentiments in thetn, by which all their powers are stocked with lieauty, and made fruitful; and so come, at last, to be worth more, even money-wise, than placers of gold. A great poet is worth more, in the computations of public wealth, than any largest millionaire ; for if he may yield but a single short lyric that has the force to kindle a nation's feeling, and becomes its national hymn, he brings in vaster wealth than whole convoys of ships laden with the riches of the world. In it, he buya courage, enthusiasm, constancy, victory, all that conserves the order, knits the strength, concentrates the love of the State—what no largest largeness in gold can either buy or outweigh. —Scrihner's Magazine. �76 THE IKI X N li.

Especially if he have a heart to glorify God and serve humanity, he may put his hand to the rising fabric of a Christian civilisation and help to rear for its arching dome many a pillar of strength and beauty yet to be supplied. One need not stagnate on the Islands or sink dowrwinto tropical sloth for want of something to do. It may even be doubted whether the climate itself is enervating. The summer weather is far less oppressive in its intensity than in our own interiors or in the Cities of New York and Boston. Of course there can be found localities on the leeward side of the Islands level with the aea margin, where the air is still and the aun ia scorching. But even at Lahaina, on Maui, tbe abundant shade interrupts the fiery floods, and a few hundred feet of climbing on tbe rapidly ascending slopes gives you the gracious airs of a different tone. And then on all the windward shore* and throagh tbe gorge* of the mountains tbe regular trade winds pour in with every morning tbe oouling breath of the sea—the evenings are dewy and fresh with delicious breesea, and never a sultry night.

Sailing on over the central wastes of the broad Pacific, midway between the Hemispheres, thousands of miles from either continental shore, the sight of land cornea to the voyager as a wonder and a surprise. What is yon dim blue cloud seen at closing day far off where tbe iky and the ocean meet? That," says the Captain, is the higheat mountain of Maui, old Haleakala, more than 10,000 feet in height, and now eighty milea away." All eves study that low fixed cloud till tbe short deepening twilight veils it from view. And a sweeter Bong, and a more thankful prayer rose that night around our family altar iv the saloon of the good steamer Ajax. The early morning twilight reveals near at band the bold pyramidal rook of Coco Head and tbe brightening dawn lights up the green mountain summits of Oahu. Our glassea are leveled at the strange land, and past tbe arid rock* of the shore line, and the aurf breaking on coral reefs, we look up the spacious aisles of verdant valleys, and through ooooanut groves upon scenes of beauty and of grandeur, worth a longer voyage to win and gaze upon. Soon we round the long eitinct crater of Diamond Head snd through a gateway of the reef steam into port. Before us lie* the beautiful little City of Honolulu, nsstled amid a foreat of tropical shade, all planted by tbe hand of man, with the back ground of tbe " " " lutely inhibited by law from selling one drop to a native, under penalty of heavy fines and a forfeiture of his license. Some attempts have been made from time to time, to modify these stringent provisions, but the Governmeut, thus far, is busily and notoriously rigorous iv their maintenance. But you will, I think, feel most interest in learning something of the aspects ot tho native life in these regenerated Isles of the Sea." In Honolulu, on (lahu, Lahaina and iVailuku, on Maui, Hilo, on Hawaii, and other large towns or villages, many of the natives live in small neat framed houses, neatly painted, neatly furnished and showing many signs of taste and care in green window blinds, brood verandas, climbing and flowering vines, and well kept grounds and paths. In the rougher and wilder portions of the Islands, they occupy the grass houses of their own original type of architecture, not a few of them spacious and comfortable, even for those accustomed to all the appliances of civilised life. In costume, with few exceptions among the men, and none that I saw among the women, they conform to the English idea ; except that the long loose flowing outside garment of tbe women is seldom belted at the waist. Msny of the women go barefoot, which is no hardship in that ever genial climo, but many of them also are as daintily furnished with stockings and gaiters as their fairer sisters. One would suppose that when a naked barbario race take to dress, they would develop a love of finery, a fondness for brilliant display, and gorgeous coloring ; but it does not seem to be so with those Hawaiian converts. Here and there a little of this tendency appears, and it was a masculine display chiefly that I saw, but I was surprised at the sobriety nnd moderation with which the women of the Islands select and fashion their wardrobe. Neither in excess nor in deficiency of toilet, will the aspect of a Sabbath congregation of " �THE I UIE natives offend the eye, or in fact, attract to itself special attention, unless for its tusteiulness and propriety. In some of tbe rough out-districts, most remote from the influence of tbe foreign element and from habits of village life, the men occasionally exhibit a more primitive simplicity of appareling. There is perhaps with all the island natives less sensitiveness to partial exposure of tbe person than with the conventional modesty of our type of civilisation, scarcely surpassing however, in degree, that which consents to what is oulled "The full dress " of the saloons of fashionable life. It gathers to itself no more comment or notice than the paintings aud statuary of gay European capitals, presenting a kind of common ground on which semi-barbarism and the extreme of refined civilization stand together, and holding up the suggestion that in the matter of real modesty the fastidious prudery of nn eye on the lookout for offense may not worthily claim the palm. The wants of the natives are but few. It were better for them if thoy were more. Bountiful nature supplies them almost spontaneously with ihe necessaries of life. Anything that will sbelter'them from the rnin is alt they need of wall or roof. Their taro patch aud breadfruit will furnish them with food. The universal poi mode from their taro is both relishing and sustaining. A little occasional industry will earn for them the few rials that pay their moderate taxes, and buy for them the simple articles of foreign manufacture which they need to supplement the gifts of nature. As a oousequence they are not given You will as a race to steady and continuous labor. see them at every hour of the day sitting on the ground in the shade or basking in the sun, in the very luxury of idleness. Why should they work when they have, with now and then a stroke or two of toil, all they want? If one of them grows an extra crop of taro, his neighbors and acquaintances think it right to share his better providence as long as it lasts, and in what is he the better off for his diligence and prudence. It never occurs to him to question his self-invited guests, or if it does his hospitality forbids it. He may as well forage as produce. It seems an almost impracticable lesson for them to learn to lay up ahead tor a wet day coming. 1fa special demand for their labor puts a few dollars into their hands it is not investod for the future, but consumed on some mere festal expenditures for the present Why not Let them enjoy as they go along—why should they be slaves to hard work all their years aud then leave behind what they have accumulated?" So their way is to spend as they go. If a pinch comes, some more fortunate friend or a day or two's hire of their muscles, will carry them " through. There is a gradual corrective to this state of things in what they are taught by their Christian Teachers, nnd in what they sec of the foreign life in contact with their own. One artificial want after another begins to assert itself. These wants impose labor and stimulate forethought. They are beginning to feel that they must be better lodged than they are, better clad, sit in chairs, not on tbe ground ; eat from a well spread table, not from a calabash between their knees, buy books, send their children to school and maintain in various ways a respeotable personal and domestic standing. It is not respectable to be ignorant, to be shabby, to drift backward toward tbe mere vegetation of a heathen life. A higher motive thus invites them continually, inspires a discontent with the fruits of idleness, and shows them instances among themselves of self-improvement and personal advancement which kindle their emulation. So they become blacksmiths, carpenters and small farmers— they hire out for service on the wharves, and upon sugar plantations —they engage as domestic helpers, gardeners, hostlers, house nurses, and their nativs indolence and all the old habits of the tropical life are thus, to some extent, countervailed. But toward this industrial and financial growth the process isslow, tbe moving forces languid and the inertia great. Indeed I don't know but you are tempted yourself to gay, " Perhaps their philosophy of life is, on the whole, the wisest—take things easy, live by the day, let the morrow take care of its own things. 'Man wanta but little here below'—'having food and raiment, let ua be therewith content.' " Ai to their moral aud religious state, they have nocepied, as you know, from the faithful labors of their Missionary Teachers, the Bible as the word of God, and Christianity as the faith that saves. They the Bible in their own tongue, and great numbers are able to re id it. They have also many Christian hymna in their native language, and are t_rf fuud of singiug them lo Ibe tunes which for us have' \ I). 11l lOBHK, have so many hallowed associations. They are naturally a musical people. And I have never heard sweeter or richer voices in sacred song than some I have listened to in their public and domestic worship. Their faith seems to me both simple and intelligent. There is much of a child-like spirit in it, while there is also the strength of deep and full conviction. Of course some of tbeir early superstitions cliug partially to them yet, but tbe revealed will of God is sovereign authority with them in every practical question. They remember and keep the Sabbath day. They are a church-going people. On the long rough trail that skirls the principal Island, it was pleasant to see iv every thin and scattered village of native huts, the Christian church, and to know that ou each Sunday the whole population come together to hear from a native pastor some uussuge of divine trutn. These churches and their pastors are under the supervision of some Missionary Bishop, wbose care of the wide diocese is faithful, fruitful aud laborious. In nuy of these rude native houses, where you are sheltered for the night, invite tbe occupants to family prayer, and you will very likely be surprised ut tbe joylul alacrity of tbeir response. They produce their Bibles— some in Hawaiian and some iv Kuglisb, (for a sou or a daughter of the bouse, has been educated perhaps in some ef the Mission schools) and read with you, each in his turn around the circle, the chapter which you select. The prayer may be to some of them in an unknown tongue, but it is addressed to the one God in whom they have learned to believe, aud offered iv tbe name of the Mediator whose work of love is their hope and trust, and they join in its offering with every outward token of interest and devotion. You sleep beneath such roofs with uo sense of fear, uo necessity of keeping watch and guard over any treasure, small or great. You and your goods are as safe from molestation as though armed men patrolled the round of your lodging place through all the hours of your slumber. You are more than Bate. Whatever the kindest hospitality can do to promote your comfort, is freely ottered—tbe best resting place iv the domicile is yours—the mats are piled to make your couch soft, and your privacy secured, if you sutler it, by their own exile into the open air. You may reward them if you will for tbeir contributions to your needs, but if you do not, you are welcome to all they have supplied, and are made to feel that they hold it a privilege to have entertained you aa a guest. Naturally tbey are generous and kind. They seem in all relations aud fellowship, amiable aud affectionate. I saw not one instance of personal dissension between them in all my mingling with them. I heard not one word spoken in hate or anger. And you are made to feel that the spirit of the Gospel of peace and love has breathed upon them, and the old Good will flows dowu through all the angelic channel of their lives. The sentiment of purity and chastity in their relations with one another and with foreigners, is one that needed at first an absolute creation, and since an assiduous development. There had to be a kind of artificial conscience supplied them iv reference to the evil of their native habits. The testimony of this cultivated conscience is, with some of them, pronounced and imperative ; aud with others it is still faint and inconclusive. They do not judge a transgression of this kind to be grossly vile, and fall into it without a sense of unpardonable guilt. It is a long atride, my friends, from the darkneaa of heathenism to the clearness of moral apprehension which attends upon tbe light and nurture of Christian society iv Christian lands. The Gospel may be received upon its announcement,aud a Saviour accepted aa soon as his story is told, but a sharp moral discernment, the supremacy of moral ideas, the coronation of new moral standards ia a slower process, and must be waited for in patience and charity. As to the future of these Islands it would be rash to prophecy in set terras. It will be safe to say, however, that they will be visited more and more from our ahores, for tbe beauty and grandeur of tbeir scenery, the peculiar charm of social life which they present, and the viotories of Christian nurture over Paganism and Idolatry. In neither hemisphere can the traveler find more wonderful and rewarding aspect* of nature. The uplift of lofty mountains like Mauus Lo* and Maun* Kea, ou the Island of Hawaii, rising about 14,000 feet from the level of tbe sea—the terrible and savage desolation of great lava field*—black glacier* outvieiug in length and breadth the blus-wbite glaciers of the Alps—the surging fury of Kilaues—the moat maguiuccut living volcauu iv the world—the voal crater " " 77 1871. of 11/rleakala, 10,000 feet in height, its rim, 30 miles in circumference, its bed, ti.OOO feet below the summit of it* rocky walls, with a score of crater cones scattered On it* surface, looking like ant hills from the crest, aud yet hundreds of leet from base to top the tossing sea of green mountain billows on West Maui, with strange rifts and chasuis between, furnishing more studies for the canvass than almost any other field the wide earth can show ; the grand snd lovely valley of Wailuku penetrating deep into this rocky system with its guardian walls, from 3,000 lo 0,000 feet in height, thin lainiiue of rock moved forward fold beyond fold like stage scenery on a colossal scale, all clothed in vivid intense green us though tapestried in emerald velvet, nnd pockets and cllfts of this deep verdure, charming aud resting the eye with a full and foaming stream roaring dowu the rocky valley bed, presenting a world of loveliness aud of majesty, wonderful and fascinating, even to one who has gazed upon the unrivalled glories of our own Yosemite. It is easy to predict, 1 say, that such scenery has ouly to be known to draw lo it an ever increasing number of I'ilgrims from every land. The time will come when Kastern visitors uud tourists from the old world will not stop at our shore line, content with California marvels, but will push ou over the Pacific) plain to regale the eye and the taste, and to enrich art aud song with these island wonders. The foreign element iv the Hawaiian Kingdom is becoming, of course, with every year, of increasing weight aud importance. There must be, I think, a growing commerce from these Isles of the Sea "— already the half-way bouse between Australia and our Golden Gate. Men of capital, enterprise and large sagacity ure laying tbeir plans for an increased production of island products and an enlarged and extending trade. This element is, to a great extent, in sympathy with the religious prosperity of the Islands, and every American traveler will congratulate himself aud bis country that tbe official representatives of his national flag, nre men who fitly guard the honor and the purity, not only of the oivil principles of tbe Republic, but of her type of Cbrisiiau — " institutions. Whether there is n better and happier future for the native population it is more difficult to say. They are politically the governing race. But in all the relations of tbe people, to the foreign life, they are of course inferiors. They are a simple hearted, inoffensive and quiet element. They arc easily and indolently content with the generosities of their climate, anil its almost spontaneous productions. It is hard to inspire them with personal ambitions. They yield themselves gladly to the nurture and control of their Cbristinu Teachers, aud will, it may be hopod, advance in tbeir conformity to Christian ideas, and in practical morality. But whether iheir decadence in numbers can be arrested, whether they cun be guided with energy and enterprise and save themselves as an independent race and nation, growing in wealth and power, and in a'l tbe forces of a various and self-sustaining civilization is a problem around which the clouds hang deep and dark. No solution of it is over sanguine or colored with tbe brightness of an assured hope. We may at least thank God that the Sun of Righteousness bos shone upon the homes and hearts of this fading race, and that if their doom be writteu its final issues are clothed with tbe light that streams from a revealed and blessed immortality. And that when the central fires that have lifted these lovely Islands shall have flamed forth in that last conflagration that shall consume the continents and isles of cartb together and there shall be no more land and Crystal no more sea, we may meet on that other Sea before the throne of God and the Lamb, multitudes of these redeemed Islanders, as fellow members of the one great family gathered from every people and tribe aud tongue of earth to wear one likeness and sing one song in Heaven.

The selection of newspapers snd periodicals is uncommonly good. Strangers and seamen wishing for good facilities for letter-wiiting could not be better acccommodated.

Dr. Coan, on his return from America. " Hilo is now all aglow with physical beauty. Its fields were never more lovely in 'living green;' its rills were never more sparkling, us they leap and laugh along their pearly beds; its waving palms were never more graceful the umbrageous bread-fruit, the beauteous pandanus, the modest hibiscus, and the shining candlenut, never more beautifully flecked the ground with quivering light and dancing shadows. The green copse, the quiet dell, the shady lawn, and the tall grove, never sent out sweeter sounds of rustling leaf, or warbling bird, or more fragrant aretna of plant and flower. The long curved line of white foam—the lip of the sea—never kissed more tenderly the crescent shore. The 'deep blue sea' never rested more calmly, or extended more inimitably. The great mountains of Hawaii never towered in more sublime majesty, with their glitterinir corona of fleecy snow. All is now serene upon these towering heights, where we have so often climbed, where we have seen the clouds thicken and darken, where we have heard the trumpft sounding long, where -The (Jod of glory thundcreth,' where his burning chariot sometimes rolls along tUese everlasting hills, where the earthquake is born, where the pent fires rend the mural wulls ond reeky roof of Pele's habitation, where fountains and rivers of molten rock burst out in ' devouring fire,' and where fiery tempests rave, nnd burning whirlwinds sweep and howl, and scatter ruin and desolation over wide and weird realms. Never did our tropical sky reveal a purer cerulean, or our vaulted heavens beam with brighter radiance, or marshal a more shining army of glowing planets, and burning suns, and wheeling constellations. Missionary Herald, A gentleman in China, intrusted with packages for a young man from his friends in the United States, learned that he would ; probably be found in a certain gamblinghouse. He went thither, but not seeing the young man, sat down and waited in the hope that he might conic in. The place was a bedlam of noises, men getting angry over their cards, anil frequently coming to blows. Near him sat two men—one young, the other 40 years of age. They were betting nnd drinking in a terrible way, the older one giving utterance continually to the foulest profanity. Two games had been finished, the young man losing each time. The third game, with fresh bottles of brandy, had just begun, and the young man sat lazily back in his chair while the oldest shuffled his cards. The man was a long time dealing the cards, and the young man, looking carelessly about the room, begun to hum a tune. He went on, till at length he began to sing the hymn of Phoebe Cary above quoted. The words, says the writer of the story, repeated in such a vile place, at first made me shudder. A Sabbath school hymn in a gambling den ! But while the young man sang, the elder stopped dealing the cards, stared at the singer a moment, and, throwing the cards on the floor, exclaimed : where did you " Harry, learn that tune V "What tune 1" " Why, that one you've been singing." The young man said he did not know what he had been singing when he had been singing, when the elder repeated the words, with tears in his eyes, and the young man said he had learned them in a Sunday-school in America. "Come," said the elder, getting up; "come Harry ; here's August, 1871. — Japanese Inconsistency.—At the present time, the Japanese Government maintain* a strict prohibition in regard to Christian missions. Mr. O. Gulick writes that missionaries are allowed to teach only their domestics. Still the Japanese are putting forth unwonted efforts to introduce foreign ideas and books; Japanese young men are rushing to America and Europe for an education. It cannot but result that Christian influences will thereby be exerted upon the nation. Without intending it the Japanese are Christianizing themselves. Some American missionaries arc now employed in Japanese schools and colleges, and supported by the government. The fact stated in the following paragraph, clipped from the N. Y. : Observer, is worthy of notice Mr. Charles Lenman, author of the" Dictionary of Congress." and other successful books. Inis been engaged by the Japanese Government to prepare a descriptive and historical work on the United States, to be translated by Minister Arinori Mori, and published in Japan. The honorable appointment was made on the recommendation of Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution. Mr. Verbeck, a missionary to Japan, says that though it is but ten yours since that country was opened to modern commerce, hundreds of native shops now sell foreign goods. A large portion of the men in the middle and upper classes dress iv our costume. The army and navy are remodeled on the European and American systems. They have stages, steamers, telegraphs, and a railroad, docks and extensive foundries with foreign machinery, and sewing-machines in the tailors' shops. Beef, the abomination of Buddhism, is largely consumed, and bread is much liked. A foreign college in Yeddo has hundreds of boys studying English, French, and German. Eight foreign physicians teach in medical colleges. Several newspapers are published, and a large quantity of English and French books arc imported. Key. of the Wine Cup.—A commercial bank of Scotlnnd pound-note was received some time ago by a person in Forfar, with the following inscription written on its back. It appears to have been dated exactly two years after tbe issue of the note :— " Drunkards, take heed ! When this note passes from me lam a ruined man. It in the last out of a fair fortune, bequeathed to me by, and the hard-won earnings of, an indulgent parent. As quickly come, as quickly gone ; for after a few short years of inebriety and reckless folly, my dissipation has made me homeless, friendless, and a beggar. Whoever nitty be the next owner of this note, I would recommend him to follow the advice of sad experience, and beware of intemperance.—London, 1845."

They are now divided into four classes: first class are entitled to 24 hours liberty each month, and to draw one third of their wages ; second class 24 hours liberty every six weeks, and one quarter of their wages; third and fourth classes 24 hours every two months, and one fifth of their wages. Thus an appeal is made to Seamen to behave well, and secure a good character. From the general tenor of newspaper and common reports, we infer there is much less rowdyism and hazing in American Colleges, than there was a few years ago. Students appear to have come to the conclusion that it is beneath their dignity and honor to be engaged in low and rebellious practices. They are coming to see themselves as others see them, and it makes them ashamed to jokes," which if they were out" perpetrate charmed circle of college laws side of the would bring them under the and grounds, specting surveillance o( the Police Magistrate.

The influence of such an example for good is potent and far-reaching; it is felt among his officers and his crew. When on shore, such a man's example is good among the foreign residents, some of whom fancy that gentility and fortune require that they tempt young men to ruin. How little do ladies, and young Indies too, imagine that their influence is often most injurious, aye pernicious, over young men. The more we witness the sad effects of wine-sipping and whiskey drinking, the more odious and destructive they appear. The effect of wine has not changed since Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs, " Look not on the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright, at the last it biteth like u serpent and stingcth like an adder."

Dear Mr. Damon :—I shall always be indebted to you for the pleasure I enjoyed from my visit to Amherst, and my attendance at the semi-centennial anniversary exercises, which took place this week; for had I not been so pressingiy urged by you to go, I might not have been present there. A brief sketch from me may not be unwelcome, unless you are favored with a fuller and more graphic account from some abler pen. Those who have never been in Amherst may not be aware how beautifully it is situated on a gentle knoll in the bror.d valley of the Connecticut, surrounded by an amphitheatre of distant hills, of which the Holyoke range and Mount Tom, with the broad river rolling through the precipitous gap, rent for its passage through the range, form the most conspicuous points. Viewed from the lofty tower of the College Chanel, in this lovely month of July, the scene was almost indescribably beautiful. The village has a population of about 4,000, and besides the College bearing its name, is noted for the Agricultural College, jointlyendowed by Congress and the State of Massachusetts with a fund amounting to over *500,000. I had the pleasure of visiting the grounds of the institution in company with its President, Col. Wm. S. Clark, who married Miss Harriet Richards VVilliston, formerly of our islands. There have been 147 students in attendance during the past year, of whom 26 will be graduated next week. I gathered from the President a mass of interesting statistics regarding the institution which I may use in some future article. To attempt to describe the commencement exercises in full would take too much space, for they occupied five days, and I will confine my sketch to the jubilee, which took place on the 12th. It is stated that between 700 and 800 alumni were present this day, and probably the number of strangers present could not have been less than 2,500. To accommodate these a mammoth tent bad been erected, capable of seating 3,000, while at least 1,000 more were within hearing of the speakers. The morning session was ocMy J "The Pacific," celebrated its twentieth birth-day, during the first week in August. The eighteenth of last January, The Friend celebrated its twenty-«ighth anniversary.

This little task just as positive on the other side. There is put a new thought into his head—why may no new question proposed. The question not buttons be made by machinery ? So he whether woman shall have the right to the . I , \ J highest education which it is possible to gain in America has been settled, and that lony ago. If there is one thing in which America stands preeminent, it is this: We believe that woman should be educated according lo the measure of her desire and capacity. Unit-bilked, woman colleges have been established, besides academies and seminaries, and when the question arises as to whether woman can have the benefit of a collegiate course, it is met in this way, that we have already more colleges than we have need of. Why should we put two schools to do the work of one? Are women so much like men that they need but one church, one catechism, one minister; alike in almost every thing, and yet so different that they need two sets of instructors, one lor men. and one for women in ordinary matters of education. Why, in all the slates we are erecting new academies and college* a hundred years ahead of our pecuniary means. Why should we be doubling the cost of education? Why, if Amhent used the power to instruct these advanced scholars among women, who wish to be teachers and professors, and laborers in the highest fields of science; if Amherst had the liberality to do it, would it be necessary to put half a million dollars into a women's school at North* ainpton, and another five hundred thousand to make it good for anything ? This is like a mail spending every cent of money in building his factory, and yet without a cent to pay for an engine to run it. We have plenty of colleges, il only used in a legitimate manner. It is a question of economy. In New England we all understand the worth of an economy article,—it is a "heap sight cheaper" to educate women with men. 1 know that there are other considerations in the matter. It is said. I am aware, that women do not want it. If they do not there is no trouble. If the women cannot bear the experiences of a collegiate course then they will go away. I know it is 1 settled that women are different from men. Of course they are. I know it is said that they cannot do everything that man can do. Ido not want them to. If you plant n rose tree and lilacs in the same ground, the plants and flowers will bear their respective flower and foliage. So from a collegiate course a woman will take that which assimilates with her own nature, and will be a woman still, and not a womanish man. 1 was brought up in my sister's school at Hartford. That accounts for my womanish ways. But it is all outside for I am inside, a man. A woman would make a womanish use of this education, and that is what I want to see, a woman's own influence brought to bear in art arid literature; it is to make her more woman, and with her power will still be womanly pure. Highly developed in culture her refining influences will be richer and more heavenly. Amherst is for a universal education. If a man be black and is fully prepared, or a woman, and is fully qualified, its doors will open to them. Amherst should lead in this march of progress, and if she does, it will not be the first time that she has led in progress and philanthropy. Amherst will do her duty because she is sent to accomplish a great work, a work which is just and right. (Applause.) �lil American and i, ForeignUniversitySystems i i; ii; \ i).

It is embowered in shade, daily growing more luxtiriantand protecting. There are hundreds of cottages nestling under tropical foliage and surrounded by bloom nnd fragrance, any one of which would charm the taste and satisfy the ambition of the most fastidious. Old Diamond Head keeps its sentry watch on the east rising nearly a thousand leet in air. Just back of the town, the rim of another extinct crater looks down upon it at an elevation of half a thousand feet. The mountains rise still further back to the height of four thousand feet, green wth the baptism of petpetual showers. The social life of Honolulu is in every way most agreeable. I doubt whether a:; inanv cultivated, intelligent, and refined families could lie found easily in any city of 10,000 inhabitants on American soil. These families are readers and thinkers, and posted thoroughly in all the latest progress uf humanity in the world of letters, as in the world of events. Then their hospitality is frank, free, graceful, and cordial. They don't need a hotel to supplement their welcome to strangers. Nevertheless, there is one building. I predict that the streams ol Eastern travel, now pouring into San Francisco, will ere long set in this direction, and that a visit to our Western continental shore will be considered incomplete till it has extended itself to this beautiful group. The aspect of the native is, to ray eye, very winning. They are decently dressed, anil their countenances expressive and amiable.

The following, from Prof. J W. Chickcrmg of Washington, D. C, will be read with lively interest by those- whose hoots kindle in view of the fact that the CJhrixti'in State, in modern times counts it not the least among Us duties, to provide, whenever possible, special privileges for these classes nl its citizens who may labor under special disabilities,and to "seek to fit every man for the best work of which he is capable. The writer begins with the undisputed remark that A little more than filly years ago, Key. T. H. Gallaudet went to Franc?, acquired the sijjn language as there developed, liy ihe Abbe dc C'Epee and the Abbe Sicard, and leturning with Mr. Laurent Clere, one of their deaf-mute pupils, established in 1817, at Hnrtford, Conn , the American Asylum lor Deaf-mutes, the first institution of the kind in the country. This was established and supported, potlv hv private beneficence, and partly by State aid, and ns its success demonstrated the possibility of educating deaf-mutes, their claims upon society were recognized anil there are now in our country thirty-four institutions, with over two hundred teachers and nearly four thousand pupils, depending almost wholly upon state appropriations ; nor are these in any sense " asylums,'' or their pupils, " inmates or " patients " us they are often : " called. But it had, for years, been felt by those best acquainted with the capabilities of deafmutes, that there were many among them, as among their hearing and speaking broth ers, who could profitably pursue a college course, and would not only be benefitted thereby, but would return to society a fair equivalent for the expense, in the increased value nf the services they would be able to rentier to the Slale. This was, however, too great and expensive a work, to 6e undertaken either by private munificence or by any single State. Mainly through the efforts anil the gifts of the late Hon. Amos. Kendall, an institution had been started at Kendall Green, near the city of Washington, for the benefit of deafinutcs, residing in the District of Columbia, supported principally by appropriations from Congress, and under the management of a Board of Trustees, of which he was President. To the charge of this, was called Mr. E. M. Gallaudet (now deservedly L. L. D.) the youngest son of Dr. Gallaudet. the father of instruction in the United States, young, enthusiastic, thoroughly familiar from the cradle, with the sign language, and swedily giving evidenA of great executive ability. Besides President Gallaudet, it has four Professors and one Tutor, with fifty stndents coming from twenty-two different States, and one from England. The course, of study is substantially the same as in all our respectable colleges, and the examination papers of the students show perhaps as fair an average as will be found elsewhere. Two classes have graduated, and their nine graduates are now receiving as salaries •9.800 a year, an average of more than $1.. no . si; rr i; mli i; i:. i 8 71. the Coast Survey, one as tutor, and several the wonders of the world.

Sunday Coaling and Work.—The agents for Webb's, or the American line of steamers, gave notice through the Advertiser of the 7th of July, that through telegraphing lo London, arrangements had been made so that their steamers would not be under the necessity of coaling in Honolulu on the Sabbath. We exceedingly regret that their arrangements have so speedily failed. On the first arrival of the Ajo.r, after giving this notice, the Sabbath stillness is disturbed by coaling, draying, transferring mails, and all the noise and hurry of a week day. This is not right, to keep scores and hundreds of men to work on that day, and oihcrwisc violate the Sabbath laws of God and the Hawaiian Kingdom. The Kcv. Dr. Stone told us last Sabbath evening at Fort Street Church, that the violators of God's law are certain to be overtaken by that Divine Nemesis, which follows with its avenging arrows the guilty. "The mills of God grind slow, but they grind exceeding small " Letters have been received from Mr. and Mrs. Whitney as late as July sth. They were then at Amherst, Mass., attending the jubilee gathering and commencement exercises of the College, which has now been in existence half a century. They had also attended the commencement at Harvard University. They describe in glowing terms their trip East and rambles among the hills nl New Enclaml. The improvements in Emma Square and vicinity are indicative of what may be done in Honolulu when labor and taste are combined. Mr. Montgomery has called into existence a most beautiful ornament to our city. He seems inclined to follow the principle so beautifully elucidated by Cicero, of combining the "useful" with the "beautiful," for he has made asparagus to flourish beside flowering plants from the East Indies and the graceful and symmetrical pine from Norfolk Island. How many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers can with care, skill and labor be produced from a barren soil! When our mother Eve turned away from the gardon and left Eden, had she glanced an eye down the long vista of coming ages and seen the beautiful gardens and fruitful fields, would she have drawn so deep a sigh as Milton imagines ? 1.-avc llie,-.

We arc glad that the love of flowers and plants is not quite eradicated from the human soul.and as years roll away, may the patrons of flora culture and horticulture increase amongst the dwellers on our islands, where, in the beautiful lines of Campbell, Kprinii, as she passed ilowu the vale, on the trass, Bud her brealh on the gale." " The Uuceii of llie l.ell her rohe Maori War Debt or New Zealand.— We have been informed by an English gentleman direct from New Zealand, and who has resided many years in that Colony, that the Colonial war debt for lighting the Maories now amounts to £7,000,000, or $35,000,000. To pay the interest on this enormous debt, 'J50.000 colonists pay upon an average £1, or $115, for every man, woman and child, yet the Maories are not subdued. During the period this war debt has been accumulating the Hawaiians have been gradually becoming civilized, and not one penny has been required to carry on active war measures. Verily missionaries arc better civilizcrs than soldiers ! 57 ; (Olu Series, Ool. 20 Editor’s Table. UisToiiv in nn. Samiwuii taisUTM Mission, I>jt Unfits lilldaiaan. D. I)., LL.

Greece and Palestine occupy but small areas on the map of the world, and the number of their inhabitants was small compared with the great and populous nations of the Old World, yet the books which have been written about those two countries occupy large spaces on the book shelves ot all the libraries of Europe and America. Never were books relating to those countries and their inhabitants multiplying more rapidly than during the nineteenth century. Grotc's History of Greece, in twelve volumes, is the work of a London banker, whose death was announced in the latest London papers, and another history of Greece is already in process of publication, in New York and London, by a living author. It would require a volume to announce the titles even of new books relating to Palestine nnd the Jews. The Hawaiian Islands occupy but a small space on a map of the woskl. The number of their inhabitants would not form a city ot respectable size in Europe or America, and a century has not elapsed since iheir discovery, yet the number of books, historical, controversial, religious and literary, which have been written about—what Edward Everett was pleased to style "this little pin-head kingdom "—would form a very respectable library. We have already gathered not less than a hundred volumes relating to the Sandwich Islands. Among them we have Jarvcs, Bingham, Ellis, Hopkim*, Dibble, and now another is to be added. As years roll away, additional volumes will appear. We should be gratified to see a history of the Hawaiian Islands from the stand-point of a Catholic, or ut lenst a volume which should give a fair and honest exhibition of their missionary labors. It may be asked, why write so much about the Sandwich Islands ? We answer, because on the islsodi, as in Greece an'! �58 IH X I I. lI.N 0. AUGUST. Is 7I. Palestine, there has b-gen a war of opinions, n conflict of ideas, a peculiar development of humanity. On these islands, the old battle of Geneva and Rome has been again fought. The Puritan and the Churchman have here principles of stood up face to face. forms of govand Monarchical Republican ernment have here been modifying each other. Progress and conservatism have been contending for supremacy. In fine, the pure and free gospel of the New Testament has here encountered a shattered and vanishing system of idol worship. Light and darkness have been in sharp conflict. It is about such conflicts, changes and revolutions that thinking people like to read books; and so long as there are people to read and buy books, so long there will be found writers. No man was, in many respecls, better qualified to write another bookon the Sandwich Islands than Dr. Anderson, and are most heartily rejoice that he has bi-en spared to accomplish this work. He rould with no slight degree of propriety, take the following words of the Evangelist Luke as his motto : " Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which art. most surely i believed among us, even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eye-witnesses, and ministers of the word; it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most when referring to the present slate of the Hawaiian Kingdom We are permitted to recognize it as an independent and constitutional government, with a native sovereign at its head, and a government as confessedly cognizant of God's law and the gospel, as any one of the governments of Christian Europe ; and, what is more, with a Christian community ol sellgoverned, self-supporting churches, embracing as large a proportion ol the people, nnd as re»lly entitled to the Christian name, as the churches of the most favored Christian " : countries. " It is a question ol the highest interest, hy what means this great amount of moral, social and civil life was there developed. " This history is tiesigned to answer that i/u.stion," &c., tkc. The author here states his design. The question may be asked, has he fulfilled this design ? He has so far as he has gone, but he has not gone quite far enough. He baa not fully filled out the programme proposed. He has done this, perhaps, so far as one clement or one class of agents was concerned, viz: the missionaries nl tin' American Board of Missions. He has done them justice, as it was right and becoming he should. They stand in the front and foremost as a class of agents laboring for tbe development of a Christian Commonwealth in this heart of the Pacific. All honor, we say, to each man and woman who has labored under the auspices of the A. B. C. F. M., but they are not the only agents who have labored and toiled to build this Chrisiian Commonwealth or deexcellent Theophilus." velop " the moral, social and civil life " of A copy of this work lies on our table, and j this Kingdom.

This gentleman rival of the Morning Star that a copy fell may have erred when he became mixed up with the afliiii's of the Reformed Catholic into our hands. When the historian D*Aubigne was about Mission, but for nearly twenty years, or from to publish his great work on the Reformation, 1844 to 186l), we do not think the Hawaiian he met M. Guizot in Paris, who said to him, Kingdom had a better friend. His " Notes," " Give, v* details : the rest we know." Dr. published in 1844. fully entitle him to be Anderson has followed this rule of that great- called a man of broad views and enlarged est of living Frenchmen, and whose opinion sympathies. Perhaps the author of this l*onk miyht reupon historical matters is superior to that of most men. We can well imagine that Dr. ply that he did not start with the intention Anderaon m writing this book, wus more per- of writing the full history of the Hawaiian plexed at what he should leave out than what Kingdom. This may be so, but still he has he should insert. From a perusal of the found ample space to give an unenviable hispreface, we learn the plan which the author toric fame to very many opposers of the mislaid out; but in laying down the volume, we sionary enterprise. Now we claim as he has confess that we do not exactly feel as if the not forgotten the enemies of the good work, author had given us all he promised, although so he should not have forgotten or ignored he may have given us more than we had the friends of this Kingdom and the Protestreason to expect in a volume of 4()0 pages. ant Mission on these islands. One whole The author thus rcuiarks in hi.? preface, chapter (IX.) is devoted lo "lhe opposition of foreigners ; " besides, many a page and paragraph scattered through the book recounts the misdeeds and shortcomings of men who were inimical to the missionary work ; but it seems that the author maintained a studied silence respecting men ol an opposite stamp, unless they were serving under the Beard. It has required a vast amount ol patient toil and earnest labor to adjust the land titles, and codify the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This has not been, strictly speaking, missionary work, but still no less important, because unless done satisfactorily and properly, the Christian Commonwealth would not have arisen, as Dr. Anderson asserts that it has been developed, into the form of " o government as confessedly cognizant of God's law on,.' the gospel us any one of tin great governments of Christian F.urope." This has not all been done by missionaries, or those who were once missionaries. The Rev. Mr. Richards died in 1847; Dr. Jndd left the government service in 1863, and Dr. Armstrong died in 1860. These are the only gentlemen of the American Mission who have been actively and personally government officers. Their merits we fully recognize. Now what we should have been glad to see in Dr. Anderson's new book would have been not only a chapter on " the opposttion of foreigners," but a chapter wherein the aid and support of foreigners was fairly recognized and duly appreciated. The author of this book congratulates the friends of missions in view ol the pleasing fact that at the end of fifty years, " a heathen nation has been evangelized." This is a subject for devout thanksgiving. Now we admire the skill and tact which Dr. Anderson has displayed in relating the early struggles of those pioneer missionaries. It is a most charming narrative. There is a touch of the comic as well as heroic in many of the encounters of the friends of the Mission with their opposers. The author has alluded once to such an event on page 71, when the Mission challenged their enemies to a fair encounter, and Capt. T. Ap Catesby Jones, of the Peacock, sat as moderator ! We never shall forget the story as we heard it from the lips of this gentleman when Commodore of ill" United States Pacific Squadron in 184.1. The missionaries had been accused of all manner of strange misdemeanors. At length they sent a written challenge to their opposers to meet them in a fair encounter. Said Commodore Jones, " You should have seen the two parties as they met in the large house of the chiefs.

The following passengers wen* on board the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Snow, Key. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham, Key. A. A. Sturges, Mrs. Dnane.and two Hawaiian missionaries with their wives. Religious services were held on the quarterdeck. A large concourse of foreigners and Hawaiians gathered on the deck and upon the pier. Prayer : was offered in English by the Rev. Dr. Stone, of San Francisco, in Hawaiian by the Rev. B. G. Parker,and a song was sung, the same being the translation of a song in the Hawaiian, composed by the Rev. Mr. Lyons, of Waimea, Hnwaii. The concluding stanza was the following : winds, anil (tales, anil billow., " Ye 111., Murnina Hour Slur «.li To Klaai anil llonehe, To islands still at war.

" The occasion was most interesting, especially in contrast with the sailing of the first missionary vessel to Micronesia on the 15th pf July, 18512. Three of the original missionaries who then sailed were now present, viz: the Rev. Mr. Snow and wife, and the Rev. Mr. Sturges.

Baldwin, author of Pre-historie Nations, and editor of the Worcester Shy, from which we quote the following paragraph : "1 notice that a lecturer at the Sandwich Islands has questioned the Malay origin ol the Hawaiians, but 1 cannot see as he lias any good reason lor his doubt. It seems manifest the whole Polynesian race arose from a mixture of the Malays and Papuans, and that tin,* race established by this mixture began its history at a remote period in the past. It is very likely that the Sandwich Islands constituted one ol the important centers from which it was distributed to other islands. It is my belief that this race formerly occupied the whole ol the Japanese islands, nnd the whole of Formosa. Should you get any more notices of the Pacific island antiquities, please tell me about them. Do you know the name of the ship-master who wrote the |ia|>ers that came from Sydney ? " We copy the last few lines for the purpose of renewedly calling attention to a scries of articles which have appeared in the Town n,ol Country, a newspaper published in Sydney. These articles are descriptive of ruins on Ascension, Strong's Island, and some other islands of Micronesia. They are accompanied by wood cuts, and are worthy the attention of inquisitive antiquaries and archaeologists. The present inhabitants of those islands are utterly ignorant of the people who constructed those cyclopean ruins. In remote antiquity a superior race must have dwelt where now the simple minded Micronesia lis live. We hope the missionaries in that region will do all in their power to throw light upon this interesting subject. regions of the Pacific. The languages of the inhabitants had never been reduced to a written form. Now the missionaries, on islands where the natives are partially evangelized, have reduced four languages to a A New Missionary Society. written form, viz: the Gilbert, Marshall, Kusaian and Bonebean.

" The long-pending question of the monu- ment to Kirke White is at last settled, and a faculty has just been obtained for its removal to the new chapel of St. John's College, Cambridge, from the custody of the wardens of All Saints' Church, or, more strictly speaking, from that of a private tradesman who had given it shelter in his courtyard. The Rev. James White, rector of Sloley, Norfolk, is one of the brothers of the deceased." The editor of the London Guardian, in noticing a monument to the ever lamented Kirke White, omitted to mention the fact that it was an American by the name of Hoott who erected the first monument to the poet's memory. On the 11th of February, 1870—a bitter cold tlay—it was our privilege to inspect the same in "All Saints'" Church, Cambridge. The guide liook of the old University town informs the visitor that this monument was " executed by Chautrey, and exhibits within a medallion the portrait of the poet in bas-relief." There is a poetical inscription upon the monument, by Professor Smyth, which closes withthe following lines: wave " Far oVr th' Atlantic and sought the |s>et's .rave A wanderer came, yon low stone he saw his lonely nam,-, And raised this tond memorial lo hia luuie." -, On The People's Bishop.—The Rev.

These organizations in the States have greatly increased in numbers and influence within the last three years. It is almost too early in their history to speak of them critically. The present tendency of the I'roleslant church in its zeal seems to be to multiply organizations, societies, boards, with confessions of faith and preambles and constitutions and by-laws and like machinery for producing philanthropic results. It is probable that the Women's Board movement is a result, anil perhaps a natural one, of the great development of Young Men's Christian Associations in late years with their generally exclusive character in regard to women. A " History of the Sandwich Islands Mission," by Rufu.s Anderson, D.D., LL.D., has lately come out. We confess ourselves much disappointed in the book, on looking it over. With material and opportunities for one of the richest, most valuable and interesting chapters of church history that has yet been offered to the Christian historian, the author has simply given us an interesting but not disinterested compilation of facts, chronologically arranged, and without philosophical elucidation as to the natural sequence of results from their probable causes, recognizing constant special interpositions of Providence in favor of the Mission of ihe American Board, and against the " Bomiah Mission " and that " worse evil," the Reformed Catholic Mission ; an easy method of accounting for effects, but savoring rather of religious intolerance and sectarian conceit than of intellectual sagacity. Eusebius, the Christian historian of the early middle ages, allowed that his principle in writing history was to conceal f ids injurious to the reputation of the church. We will not say that a similar frank confession is due from the Kcvercnd Doctor, but certainly his hook leaves little lo be added to a record of almost infallible perfection of tbe American Board Mission. We regret the narrow and partisan character of the book. The church and the world are not in need of influences of such a nature. The regular meeting of the Association for July was held at ihe rooms on (he 11th of the month, the tune of meeting having been changed from the last Friday, to the second Friday of each month. The Treasurer's report showed a balance of one dollar in favor of the Association over the expenses of the public readings lately given in the Olympic Hall, which result seemed to be regarded by the members present as satisfactory, though not especially encouraging from a financial point of view. After some interesting discussion on Sunday schools, the Sunday question anil oilier topics, the meeting adjourned. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For more than forty years had he been connected with the mercantile community of the islands, and during that long period had sustained a mercantile character of the highest honor and integrity. We mourn his loss as a personal friend and much esteemed citiand can truly sympathize with the circle bereaved friends and relatives. ti, At the late annual meeting of the Children's Missionary Society, we listened with much interest to the address of Sanford B.

Dr. Hillebrand.—In the last Australian steamer for San Francisco, we noticed the departure of this gentleman, who has for more than twenty years been a much esteemed Physician in Honolulu, and also Physician of the Queen's Hospital, ever since its establishment. This position he filled with great credit to himself, and acceptance to the patients.

They will remain in Honolulu until the arrival of the Morning Star, daily expected around Cape Horn, when they will embark for tfieir future homes. lo Died in Honolulu, June 29th, William H. Pense, Esq., a native of New York. He was educated in New York City. He had resided on the islands about twenty years. He was extensively known as a naturalist, and had correspondents among scientific men in all parts of the world. He died very suddenly, and only a few moments before he died sealed letters and packages of shells for correspondents in New Zealand. His library in the department of science and natural history was the finest in Polynesia. The Rev.

During our European tour, having visited Paris, and taken special interest in examining two of ihe most renowned monuments which adorned the oily, viz. : the " Arc-dcTrioiophe," nnd the "Column Vendome," it has been with mingled emotions of sorrow and indignation that we have been compelled to read the accounts of their destruction. It was our privilege to ascend to the summit of each, and view the city from those commanding eminences. Little did we imagine, as we stood upon them, and contemplnted their firmness and strength—solid as granite, brass and iron could make them, —that only a twelve-month would pass ere both would lie in ruins. We think our readers will be interested in a few facts connected with their history and construction. The "Arc-de-Triomphe occupied a commanding position, from whence twelve avenues or boulevards branched out. This famous Arch was commenced in 1806, and was finished under the reign of Louis Philippe, at a cost of nearly two million dollars, or ten millions of francs. The great Arch messured ninety feet, and the total height was one hundred and fifty-two feet. Its sides were ornamented with entablatures, sculptured in the highest style of artistic excellence, and contained representations of various victories of the French, from 1792 to 1810. sfThe "Column Vendome" is in ruins, and a full account of its fall was announced in the papers received by the last mail. This famous column was constructed after the pattern of the renowned column of Trajan, now standing in Rome. It is a singular fart that Trajan's column should have withstood the successive invasions of Goths, Vandals, and all the other enemies of Rome, but this of Napoleon, equally grand and solid, should have been pulled down, not by tbe enemies of France, but the French themselves. It was inaugurated in 1810, or sixty years ago. Round the shaft run a spiral bass-relief, composed of 425 plates of brass, made of Austrian cannon, representing incidents in the campaign of 1805, and on the top stood a statue of Napoleon 1., erected in 1863. The total height of the column was 134 feet, and could have been ascended inside. The fall " �50 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1871. month, near Colfax, among the Indians, and was buried on the following day. For some time after he came from the Islands he was supported by a monthly allowance by the Sabbath-school of the Congregational church in Sacramento, and appeared well, and seemed to be doing good. After a time, the want of Christian society, and the influence of the Indians, were too much for him, and he sank toward them rather than brought them toward him ; and the Sabbath-school felt constrained to withhold his support. For several months he has had a bad cough, but was not really sick more than two weeks, and kept about till the day before his death. Two days before, he sent for Rev. Mr. Jordan, the local Methodist preacher, and expressed to him sorrow lor his past life and liis faith in Jesus Christ, acknowledged several wrong deeds, and sent a request to one party that he would come and see him, that he might have the assurance of his forgiveness. He seemed to be sincerely penitent, and from the relation of his experience Mr. Jordan was satisfied he was a Christian. He requested the Indians not to burn his body, which is their custom, and they assented to his request. Accordingly, the citizens in the neighborhood gave him a Christian burial. He was dressed in his best clothes, and wrapped in a pretty bedcover or comforter, given him by a lady in the Sandwich Islands. All the Indians followed the remains to the grave, and remained during the services. Among the things he Hymn. left When the dust cleared there was a Kanaka Bible. away, lay I. E. D.

The of this column occurred May 16th, and is thus described: Soon all the arrangements were completed and the bugles sounded, as if the Column, like the walls of Jercho, was to fall from a blast. The cable was stretched and tightened, the Column stood firm, the windlass broke and thu pulley flew into the air and then desconded, striking a sailor and wounding him. " After this accident, Abadie declared that he needed two hours in which lo repair the tackle. The report having spread llntt the Column would fall at quarter past five o'clock, the word was given out that the Column would not fall before seven o'clock. A general expression of disapprobation then went through the crowd. Abadie was accused of complicity with the Versailles Government, and threatened with the guillotine. At twenty minutes past five o'clock the cable was again stretched for the work of demolition. Suddenly, to the surprise of the spectators, the vast column moved and swayed, and then swept magnificently down, bursting into fragments as it struck the earth. It fell lengthwise in the Rue dc La Paix, exactly on the manure cushion prepared for it. splintering with a dull, heavy lumbering sound, while a thick cloud of dust and crushed and powdered masonry rose in the air. The crowd, as soon as the Column fell, gave tremendous shouts of " Vive La Commune," and the bands played the Marseillaise " " " " mariner escaping Irom shipwreck clutches this first of his treasures, and keeps it sacred to God.

The timid man, about awaking from this dream of life, lookc through the glass of Scripture, and his eye grows bright; he does not fear to stand alone, to tread the way unknown and distant, to take the death-angel by the hand, and bid farewell to wife and babies and home. Men rest on this their dearest hopes. It tells them of God and of His blessed Son—of earthly duties and of Heavenly rest." Mills Seminary. From California papers and a "Circular,'' we learn that the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Miils, will remove their Seminary from Benicia to Brooklyn, Alameda County, five miles from Oakland. It appears from these documents that a large and spacious edifice, capable of accommodating two hundred pupils, principals, teachers and servants, has been erected nnd will be ready for occupancy on the Ist of August. We have long been aware that Mr. and Mrs. Mills have been contemplating the removal of their school, and most truly do we rejoice to learn that they will soon enter their new premises, so admirably fitted to accommodate a large number of pupils. Just such an institution was needed, and that it has been established is a matter for devout thanksgiving. Some of the rich men of California have shown their good sense, in making liberal contributions to this enterprise, It was our privilege in the Spring of 1869, to spend two or three days in the Benecia Seminary, attend recitations and observe the general management of the institution, and from what we then witnessed, we do not hesitate to express our decided belief that the " Mill's Seminary," enlarged and beautified, will prove a grand success ; Mr. and Mrs. Mills are admirably qualified for its management. Their long experience as teachers in India, Sandwich Islands, and Benecia, will now fit them to impart to the young ladies of California and Oregon, a sound, practical and polished education, just as good as can be obtained in any part of the world. The late Dr. Nelson, who wrote the Cause and Cure of Infidelity," also wrote the familiar hymn, " My days are gliding swiftly by." To many the fact will have eculiar interest that it was written in a lissouri swamp, close by the Mississippi river, while the Doctor was hiding from the blood-hounds of the Fugitive Slave Law, until he could cross the river into Illinois.

Thompson, of Hilo, occupied the pulpit of the Fort Street Church on Sunday last, and preached to a full audience from the text, _ld Cor. 10:6. ** Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought The " May meetings" of London, New York, and Boston, have become renowned, and much resorted to from various parts of the world. The montn of June, is becoming somewhat conspicuous, as the season, when occur most of our Anniversaries of Benevolent Societies, Ecclesiastical Associations, and School Examinations. During the past month these various meetings have crowded so closely upon each other that a person needed the power to he present in more than one place at the same time, if he would attend all these gatherings. So far as the islands at large are concerned, the meetings of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association have been of the utmost importance. This body has held daily sessions for two weeks. The exercises and discussions have all been conducted in the Hawaiian language. At each meeting, sixty or seventy were some present there native born Hawaiians, as Pastors and to the obedience of Christ." The range of the sermon was on ** The undue pride or exaltation of intellect ;" and was an able production, and listened to with marked attention. We have noted several passages that particularly fixed our attention.

Delegates, representing about fifty native churches, while only some half-a-dozen American Missionaries, most of whose " frosty locks," indicated that in a few years the ecclesiastical affairs of the native Protestant Churches would have entirely passed into the hands of Hawaiians.

Affecting Scene in Court.—An unusual nnd affecting scene occurred in the Criminal Court at Washington, recently, on the occasion of a prisoner's receiving sentence of death. Judge Olin, while addresstog the guilty man, said : " I do not know how true it is, but I saw in the papers what purported to be a letter to you from your mother. Have you a mother living ? " The prisoner replied in a feeling voice, " I have." "It was a letter," said the judge, "expressing all that kindly, motherly anxiety for you that a mother could express. It touched my heart deeply. (Here the judge was overcome, and the prisoner, bowing his head wept audibly.) Would to God that yon might be removed from a situation like this for that mother's sake and that sister's sake." (The judge again became so deeply affected that he had to pause to wipe away the tears coursing down his cheeks, while the feeling seemed to be shared by the counsel on both sides, the officers of the Court and many spectators.) The judge then said he would not willingly say a word that would wound the prisoner's feelings—nothing but kindness; and, after a few further remarks, passed sentence on the prisoner. ARRIVALS.

The interest was fully kept up until rather a late hour, and the assemblage finally dispersed, feeling that they bad beea well entertained. It seems to be the general impression that more time should be given to physical education. Not alone at Puliation does there seetn to be a lack of attention to this brunch of study. li.it in all our schools there needs to be introduced and sustained a systematic, intelligent and thorough system of gymnastics adapted to the wants of all. It is not enough to put up a swing: or a pair of bars, or to furnish even the most complete apparatus tbat can be obtained. The scholar must be taught how to use these things as carefully and with as much attention to tbe gradual development of his muscle, as is now given to the brain. Not only would the scholars be benefited, but the teachers would find thefhselves better able to withstand the fatigues of each day, did they but exercise their muscle more than they can now.—Advertiser.

The misty hills dreamed, and the silent wood Beamed listening to tbe sorrow of my mood I knew not if tbe earth with me did grieve. Or if it mocked my grief, that bitter eve. : * Then 'twixt my tears a maiden did I see, Who drew anigh me o'er tbe leaf-strewu grass, Then stood and gazed upon me pitifully, With grief-worn eyes, until my woe did pass From me to her, and tearless now I was ; And sho, 'mid tears was asking me of one She long had sought unaided and alone. ' , Him I knew not of, and she turned nwsy Into tbe dark wood ; while my own great pain Still held me there, till dark had slain the day, And perished at the gray dawn's hand again l'hen from the wood a voice cried, "Ah, in vain, Iv vain I seek thee, oh, thou bitter sweet ! Iv what lone land are set thy longed-for feet?" Then I looked up, and lo ! a man there came From 'mid the trees, and stood regarding me ; And once again my tears were dried for shame ; But he oried out, "Oh, mourner, where is she Whom I have sought o'er every land and sea? 1 love her, and she loveth me, and still We meet no more than green hill meeteth hill." The earnest boy always has friends, and is sure to become a man to'be respected. But deliver us from sneering, sarcastic, skeptical boys, and deliver the boys that regard life as a mere joke, from themselves and their prospects. There is a very characteristic story extant of the President of an institution where many boys from our islands have gone to develop themselves. Tin horns becoming unusually resonant of nights, he remarked just before "chapel exercises " one evening " I have heard a good deal of " tooting " on tin horns of late. Now 1 don't know as there is anything morally wrong in a tin horn, or in blowing through it, but I have always noticed that tooting boys were pretty sure to turn out tooting men." The horns did'iit blow tiiat night. : through with a sufficiency of rites and almsgiving to place him on the safe side when this life ends, who makes his creed a kind of spiritual fire-insurance policy, maybe regarded as devoutly pious by those who know him best, and pass for a pillar of the church ; he may even be honest with himself, and live up to his ideal, such as it is ; but a widely different character is that ol the brother, be he within or without the pule of the church militant, whose sympathy and best assistance are always going out to the afflicted and suflering, the sinning and the fallen ; nnd who sometimes forgets himself in his crowded thoughtfulnessfor others.

They are, strange to say, an important part of society. There is many a man that would rather face a battery with his regiment than the combined sarcasm of that band of imps, the village boys. Wo be to him, if they have a " down on him." In fact, there is such magic in the term " the boys" that even when we have grown up to be men, we don't relinquish the title, and still call the company, or whatever it may be, " the boys." The real boys ought to resent it as an infringement on their trade-mark. The man that can seize by sympathy and good sense the minds and will of a lot of boys really exerts more influence than a king. He has unmeasured part in the future history of the place or the country. What men then should we have for teachers ? Men seldom speak of it, but they see very much more of the future man in the boy, than the boy has any idea of. Is the boy plucky, generous, honest? Men see it, and think, as they meanwhile peg boots, or paint carriages, and watch the boy go past: There goes the honest man of twenty years hence. Is the boy tricky, sly, sneering. Ten to one he will be just such a man, bating what some enduring teacher will get him out of the notion of.

To assist our Hawaiian pastors in their work, preparations have been made for a course of lectures. These it is thought have been prepared by several of the older missionaries, and will be delivered during this meet- ing. Publications. The Hymn Book, prepared by Rev. L. Lyons and revised by Key. H. H. Parker and Key. A. O. Forbes, is now in the hands of the printer. The cost of printing the first edition of 1,000 copies will be $724.00. We may soon have this Book for sale. It is being printed at New York by the American Tract Society. The same Society is printing for us the " Bible Dictionary," and we hope soon to receive it. The " Text Book " and the " Commentary" are in the hands of the Key. E. W. Clark. He has not yet found a society willing to publish them. He writes, however, "1 think the Tract Society may be induced to print other works on the same terms as the Hymn Hook. If you can contrive to pay one half in advance. Will it not be well to appropriate the jubilee fund now in the hands of the Treasurer of the Board to this purpose? I think the fund could not be used in a more appropriate manner." The hymns and tunes, published in the newspaper .[lnula, have been bound up in book form, under the title, " Ka Hae Huonani." It is in demand, and will pay fur itself. We have printed in the Gilbert Island dialect the Epistles of Paul to the Corinthians and Galatians, and reprinted Matthew, John and Ephesians. Also an arithmetic, by Mrs. Bingham, in the same language. Total number of pages, 451,500. No books have been printed here in the Marshall or Bonabe dialects. Portions of the New Testament have been c-irried through" the press in the United States by the missionaries from those islands, who have visited the States the past year. Two thousand seven hundred and ninetythree (2,793) copies, containing 1,807,947 pages of the Bible, and portions of the same, have been received from the press of the American Bible Society, of which 890,--464 pages have been sold and given away. The whole number of pages sold and gratuitously distributed the past year has been 1,572,387. The amount received from these sales has been $1,229.29 for Bibles, and $801.36 for other books, making a total of $2,030.65. The following table, prepared by Mr. W. Chamberlain, exhibits the amounts received from sales of Bibles, Testaments and other books from 1865 to May, 1871: Bi'Mm d- Testaments Sold. 1865 618,64 1806 662,11 298,27 L867 1868 187.88 1869 722,86 1870 904,82 1871 1229,29 Other Bonks.

The Hawaiian Board has entered into an engagement with the publisher of the newspaper Ktiokoa, by which the fourth page of that paper is devoted to religious matter. This page has been placed under the superintendence of a committee, consisting of Rev. L. Smith, D. D., Rev. L. Lyons, and Rev. J. D. Paris. It has been the desire of this committee to make this page a power in the Church, and nation. In this they have not been disappointed. The paper has had a larger circulation, and exerted a greater influence the past year than ever before. An independent newspaper conducted on Christian principles cannot but exert a great influence upon the nation. To make the Kuokoa a paper that will exert this influence will be the aim of the publisher and of those who conduct the fourth page. The A Innla has been edited the past year by the Rev. A. 0. Forbes. The circulation has not been so large as in former years. It is of the utmost importance that this paper should circulate largely among our youth. What can we do to increase its circulation? This is a subject for consideration at this meeting.

The schooner Annie, Capt. Babcock, was chartered to carry supplies to our missions in the Gilbert and Marshall groups. For this purpose she left Honolulu on the 13th of July, 1870, and returning arrived here on the 27th of October. Key. H. Bingham and wife, whohad been on the Gilbert Islands for several months, returned on her to Honolulu, as also did the Rev. J. H. Mahoe, wife and children, and the widow of Mr. Kaelemakule, of Namarik, Marshall Islands. Mr. Kaelemakule was not well when he left Namarik to visit these islands, on account of the health of his wife. His troubles increased on board of the Annie. At Bularitari he was taken from the vessel in an unconscious state, and had the kind care of Mr. and Mrs. Bingham with the other missionaries of that station, but died on the 27th of September, 1870. Rev. S. Kauwealoha, of the Marquesas mission, returned to his station on the whaleship ('omoonUa. Capt. Jones, which left here on the 30th of December, 1870, and arrived at Uapou February sth, 1871.

There has been no year since missions have been commenced in Micronesia when there have been so few white missionaries in the field, and yet there has been no year when our hearts have been so often cheered with glad tidings from those islands.

The disorderly church members were instructed, antl many of them, having confessed their sins, were permitted to come to the Lord's table. The whole number of members received to the church has been 41—US of which are now in the church. One has died and two remain suspended. Two Deacons were chosen the past year—King Abarahama being one of them. Eight members were added to the church, taken from among 50 inquirers. Services on the Sabbath are attended by about 100.

The missionaries fled from the island, and the people appeared to be completely demoralized. It is now the brightest part of the field. The labors of the missionaries have been blessed to the salvation of souls. The king's brother, sister and brother-in-law are now members of the church. The king, though not caring for instruction, and giving himself up to the gratification of his own lusts, does not oppose the missionaries.

Twenty years ago the inhabitants of this Island, or Islands were in the lowest state of heathen degradation. Whaleships were cut off once and again, and the crews murdered in cold blood. Now they are a Christian people. They fear God. Dwell in peace, are industrious, and as well clothed as Hawaiians. Four houses of worship are opened on the Sabbath, which are filled with those who delight to keep holy the Lord's day. 159 persons are connected with the church, under a pastor chosen from among themselves. This pastor is the son of Old King George, who took Mr. Snow under his protection, when he landed upon the Island to instruct the people in the Christian religion. The Queen is a church member, and gives mod evidence of being a humble Christian. The King is moral, intelligent, somewhat avaricious, not a church member, but does not oppose. With deep sorrow we have to record the death of the pastor of this Church. He was a high chief, a humble Christian, a man of influence. Since his death there has been disaffection in the Church, hut nothing serious. May not the Lord raise up upon those islands, and from that once degraded people a nation to illustrate the truth of his faithfulness in all generations. Ponabe.

Our �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1871. 62 Executive Board has appointed two new missionaries to Micronesia, with the prospect ofobtaining two more, all of them with wives, to sail in the Morning Star on her arrival at our islands. The Board has also voted to seek and send two more laborers, with their wives, to reinforce the Marquesas mission. All this looks like progress, and it means business in the enterprise entrusted by our Lord and Master to His church. We look for the " MORNING STAR " with great interest, and when the Lord of land and sea shall bring her white wings in sight, we will hail her with as joyous a welcome as rang out from our villages and hills, and from our sea cliffs and white wreathed shores, when the first and second Morning Stars appeared in our eastern horizon, and all the sons and daughters of Hawaii "shouted for joy." has marked all the meetings ol the Association, and order has prevailed. Important subjects have come before our body for deliberation, and all have met with candid attention. Not a little time has been occupied in RELIGIOUS EXERCISES, of prayer, praise and exhortation. On the 16th of June, the full Association, with other Christian friends, commemorated the death of bur blessed Lord and Master in the Supper. It was "A time of love," and we are sure that the Bridegroom was there, lifting up hearts to a higher plane of Christian resolve, and into clearer light and purer love. At the close of this communion season the Association spent half an hour in prayer and praise, and then adjourned to meet again on the 11th of June, 1872. t Titus Coan, Committee •] W. P.

[By our "Compagnon de Voyage.") I'OMPEII. Leaving Sicily, and passing through Scy 11a and Charybdis, so feared by ancient mariners, in a few hours we enter the beautiful Bay of Naples. The islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida were reposing in the light of the morning sun, and Vesuvius in the distance was wreathed in its usual film of smoke. Naples itself, glittering in the sunlight, seemed like a magic city, with its white churches and palaces, wrapt in a shadowy haze. We will not for the present linger in Naples, overlooking the famous bay, but will press forward to Pompeii, the dead yet living city, the city of the past living in the present. Pompeii was overwhelmed A. D. 79, by the eruption of Vesuvius. It lay lor centuries covered with nshes and almost forgotten. But in the year 1748, workmen engaged in making excavations on its ancient site came suddenly upon the buried city; and we of this age are made more acquainted with the manners and customs of the Romans in the most brilliant period of their history, from the uncovering of the city of Pompeii, than from all other sources combined. A recent writer remarks, that Pompeii is one of the most wonderful of the antiquities of Italy, and one which never disappoints the traveler who is at all acquainted with the history om ancient Rome. The impression which i gives of the actual presence of a Roman city, in all the circumstantial reality of its existence two thousand years ago, is so vivid and intense, that it requires but a small effort of the imagination to place yourself among the multitudes which once thronged its streets and theatres, and occupied the now voiceless chambers. The expression so often used, that you expect to see the inhabitants walk out ol their houses to salute you, is scarcely a figure of speech. Many things in fact concur to foster the illusion. You see a street before you carefully paved and well worn, and in good preservation, as if it had been in use on the previous day. The houses generally extend in unbroken lines, and even the dilapidation is in some measure concealed by the small modern roofs placed over the walls to protect them from further destruction by the weather. The doors and win- �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1871. 42 dows indeed are all open, but so they generally are in the modem houses of Italy, and the sombre brown tints ol the walls are not very different from what is seen in the decayed towns of the same country at the present day. You turn to the right and to the left, and wander from street to street, and still you have the perfect image of a town before you. except that no inhabitants appear, and these you may suppose have left a few days before. Here we have a Roman Forum, with all its accompaniment* ol temples and porticoes, not indeed perfect, but only so injured, that what is missing can be replaced, and what is mutilated, restored. There are also many shops with their utensils of trade in l.lem, and many private houses ol all descriptions, from the pool cottage to the patrician mansion, enabling us for the lirst tints to obtain a distinct idea of the form and arrangement of a Roman house, and giving us as it were a glimpse of the domestic life and manners of the people. A few skeletons have been found in the houses of Pompeii, showing that the volcanic dust that covered the city, must have been suddenly showered upon it. The neighboring city of Herciilaueum was covered with the lavu, and hence very few mementoes of the past have been there excavated. But Pompeii was not destroyed by streams of lava, but by showers of cinders, mixed, as is supposed, with liquid mud, which penetrated and flowed into all the lower parts of the houses in 11 way that dryashes could not have done. Hillard remarks, that the public buildings of Pompeii, consisting of temples, basilicas, forumsand theatres, were doubtless imposing in theiraspect, and of fine architectural forms, but their ruins are somewhat disappointing, from the nnture of their materials. They were not built of marble or stone, but of brick covered over with stucco. This will do very well in a climate so mild as that of southern Italy, but nothing is more paltry and shabby than a brick ruin. Vegetation must give it grace and beauty, and there is none here. The visitor is conducted to a wide space strewn over with shafts and capitals of columns, with fallen pediments, broken walls, yawning chasms hall filled with rubbish and shapeless masses of masonry, and he is told that here was a basilica, and there a forum and a temple; but unless his eye be so trained as to see beauty in deformity and symmetry in disorder, he must turn away discouraged and disappointed. Pompeii is supposed at the time of its destruction to have contuined twenty-five thousand inhabitants, and from the few skeletons found in the houses, nearly all the inhabitants must have had time to escape. In a building supposed to have been a garrison, the skeletons of four men were found, and from the place where they lay, it is supposed that they were keeping guard, when the showers of cinders fell upon the doomed city. But they did not fly, but stood firm at their post of duty, and met a brave and fearful death, showing at least that bravery and fidelity are not confined to our age. Jupiter and Venus.

Mr. Fletcher, who passed was in conjunction with the moon on that day.— 1 sfsfcwfsWr. Editors of various newspapers, at the suggestion of astronomers, have been calling attention to the near approach to each other of the two planels, Jupiter and Venus. Their appearance is certainly very fine and grand as they adorn the evening sky in the west. The association of these two heavenly bodies reminds us of s passage in the opening of the fifteenth book of Homer's Iliad. The old Grecian poet represents Jupiter as awakening from sleep " on Ida's height " one bright morning.and looking down upon the warring Greeks and Trojans. The Greeks were triumphant, and the Trojans were fleeing, while Hector of " the glancing helm," lay stretched upon thi! plain, Jupiter immediately saw the sad plight of his favorites the Trojans, and knew that his wife Juno had been practicing her wiles upon him, by tiie aid of"the magic belt ol Venus" In his fury, Jupiter addresses Juno in the following language, \fhich we cjnote from Earl Derby's translation. Juno was rather strong minded, but still Jupiter when aroused, would assert his rights, and believed in no very mild punish- through our city a few weeks since, en route from Melbourne 1o London. Some will remember his lecture upon the Crusades, and siege of Jerusalem. Most truly do we sympathize with him in his great disappointment in not being able to reach London in season tor the May meetings, in consequence of his injury upon the railroad. A few paragraphs from a late letter from him, dated at Ogden, Utah, will be read with interest: OoMBT, Utah, April '-'7, 1871, — Hkv. S. <'. Damon,—.My Ihmf Sir : You will see by the above superscription that I inn after all no further on my journey than Ogden. I thought to have a passing peep at Utah, and lo I urn here a prisoner ! My jailor is a young Methodist minister, who is assisted by his wife in making my confinement as lenient as possible. My prison is a hospitable home, and the atmosphere that pervades it is vne of genuine Christian kindness. 'To make a long story short, I have broken my leg, and so " the wandering Jew " is obliged to halt. The accident occurred in stepping from the train on to the station platform at Cisco, among the mountains The cause was the intense darkness of a snow shed full of steam, at '.I o'clock at night.

It is a very good book to furnish materials for sermons and editorials. The interesting report of Edward L. Pierce, Esq., on Executive Pardons," has already suggested one sermon.

Homer's Iliad and Hawaiian Meles. We desire once more to call the attention of Hawaiian scholars, to the desirableness of giving some attention to the subject of Hawaiian meles, for the purpose of illustrating some perplexing questions connected with the poems of Homer. Upon examination, it might be found that there is no little resemblance between these meles nnd the " chants " or " ballads " sting by the Rapsodists of ancient Greece. There is a most interesting article in the North American Review, for April, called forth by the recent publication of Bryant's Translation of the Iliad. Persons interested in the discussion of the " Homeric question " and kindred topics will read this article with much interest. This writer describes the Homeric poems " as chants addressed to the sense of melody," and refers to that class of translators, who treat the Iliad as " a series of ballads, joined together as an after-thought by some others, than the. bard or bards, who first sung them." If our ideas of Hawaiian or Polynesian meles are correct, they were unwritten chants addressed to the gar and rehearred by a class of men corresponding very nearly to the ancient Grecian Rapsodists. Many of these meles, we understand, have now been committed to writing and are in possession ot Mr. Fornander, President Alexander, and the Hawaiian Government. The late Mr. Andrews, author of the Hawaiian Dictionary, collected many of the meles and. his papers, we learn, have been purchased by the Government. Is there no one, who will edit a sufficient number of these meles, to let the literary world know their worth, and at the same time describe their origin and method of preservation ? Perhaps some Hawaiian Pisistratus might join them together and form a little Iliad ! I FRIEND, JUNE, Is found a form in our language which three competent critics will agree to call adequate." The Bible is sometimes called a wonderful book, penned by so many different writers, in so many different ages and parts of the old world, yet breathing the same spirit and characrerized by such marvellous unity ; yet, if not as wonderful and marvellous as the Bible, still the Poems of Homer will take precedence of all human compositions. They out-rank and out-shine all human productions, yet who can tell us who was Homer, or where he lived, or where he was born ? When the Greeks commenced as an historic people, the Poems of Homer were old—were ancient. After all that has been written upon these Poems in ancient and modern times, including such men as Wolf, Mure, Grote, and hundreds more, still, says Mr. Lewis, no history of the Homeric Poems can be written and any account of them which aims to be satisfactory must be " largely conjectural." In reading late numbers of Every Saturday, now illustrated and improved, we notice that the author of "Tom Brown of Rugby," Thomas Hughes, Esq., is writing a series of sketchy and graphic articles upon American .colleges. We have read with much interest his notices of Harvard and Cornell Universities—the oldest and youngest of American Colleges. We are somewhat surprised that an English Universityman, with a mind under the influences of Oxford prejudices, should find so much to commend and so little to censure in the American system of education. Perhaps, we ought not to be surprised at this fact, for we do not forget his keen criticism and caustic expose of the fagging and roasting practices of Rugby. He was also a great admirer of Dr. Arnold, head-master of Rugby, whose reformatory measures have had such an influence upon the educational system of England. While educators of the New World may learn much by going to the Old World, so may those of the Old World learn something useful, by visiting America and witnessing that wonderful fusing process now in progress. Opposite national traits and peculiarities, old and stereotyped prejudices, may now there be seen rubbing against each other, being modified and softened by contact, and finally settling down and gradually being welded together and forming a new nationality, which, in after ages, will prove to be a vast improvement. We believe old Bishop Berkely caught the true idea when From the reading of this article referred we are glad to learn that Bryant's translation of the Iliad meets with such a favorable reception from critics and scholars. This writer,—Mr. Charles T. Lewis—speaks of Earl Derby's translation as " better than any of its predecessors," yet he thinks Bryant's work, challenges comparison, with the " best English Iliad in existence before it He places much stress upon the appeared." fact that Bryant is a poet of world-wide fame, while Earl Derby did not profess to be a poet. In regard to the difficulty of trans- he wrote: lation, Mr. Lewis remarks, " The whole the Star of Empire takes Its way, " Westward The first four acts already past, Iliad has been turned into English verse A tirth shall close thedrama with the day about forty times ; but no page of it has yet Time's aolilest ulfspnng is tbelast." to, . I. , Old Xi ins of Polynesia.—The exploreis of old ruins in Egypt, Nineveh, Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, Central America, Mexico, and Peru, have come to feel that their work was about done and their occupation gone, but a new field is opening. Strange as it may appear, Polynesia has its ruins and its hieroglyphics. A writer in the Town and Country, a weekly illustrated paper, published in Sydney, is now furnishing for that paper, a series of engravings and explanations, respecting old ruins on Bonape, Strong's Island, and the Kingsmill Islands. They tell of an age and people unknown to any now living upon those islands. Having seen with our eyes the ruins on Bonape and Strong's Islands, we are somewhat prepared for such explorations. As yet a profound mystery rests upon the whole subject. Dr. Rae tells us, Polynesians belong to a very old race of humanity coeval with what the learned style the stone age; and W. C. Jones, Esq., came back from a recent trip to Hawaii stating that he has discovered an old ruin on that island, resembling the old Mexican ruins of the Temple of Cholula. Who knows, but that the garden of Eden may yet be discovered as located in the Pacific Islands ! We certainly may witness here the ruins of the fall! General Meeting.—The Hawaiian EvangelicalAssociation will commence its sessions next week, on Monday. The Association is now composed of about forty ordained Hawaiian Pastors, five Lay Delegates from Hawaii, four from Maui, four from Oahu, and three from Kauai, besides a few foreign Pastors and Delegates. The proceedings are all conducted in the Hawaiian language. Thus, it appears, that the missionary work has pretty effectually passed over to the hands of the Hawaiians. This is as it should be. Drinking Petroleum.—It is among the marvels of modern chemistry that a sparkling, foaming champagne wine can be produced from refined petroleum, which will please the eye and tickle the palate like the genuine, but is more deadly in iis effect upon the consumer. Judging from the effects upon some who suppose they have been drinking brandy or gin, or wine, in Honolulu, may it not be that they have been drinking petroleum ? Poor Education.—The statistics of education in France, which for fifty years has been in the hands of the priests, show that forty out of a hundred women contracting marriage were entirely illiterate, and a large proportion of those who professed to be educated could barely sign their names ; SJB per cent, of the men could not sign the marriage register, and one-third of the conscripts could neither read nor write. These facts show the need of the reform that the government is introducing. �45 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1871. Lecture on Public Opinion. Abolish the Bar.—We learn that the I owners of the Australian line of steamers,! are contemplating improvements in the accommodations on board their vessels. It is not only our opinion, but that of | many others, that it would be a great improvement in those vessels if the bar was abolished, or certainty removed from the prominent place which it occupies on ship-board. We do not believe the public good requires a public bar to be opened on steamers running in the Pacific. Judge Hartvvell favored our community a most excellent lecture upon this subject a few evenings since, at the Olympic Hall. It is highly agreeable and profitable, when men of the legal profession or those presiding upon the Bench, are willing to bring forth from their store house of gathered lore, illustrations for a lecture upon some topic of public interest.

Men's Christian Association of Honolulu. Question. Various circumstances have caused this question to be a good deal discussed in Honolulu o( late. The principal cuufe however has been the arrangement (happily only a temporary one) by which an important steamer arrival has regulurly taken place on Sunday, necessitating, in order to insure a speedy transmission of mails and business orders to Australia, a good deal of Sunday work, to say nothing of the excitement and discussion from the usually-considered profitable mode of observing the day. It should not be necessary in any discussion on such a subject to call names. The use of the terms "Puritanical," "bigoted," &c., &c, is in fact about as old-fashioned as the doctrines supposed to be illustrated thereby. It is not to be supposed either, unless there' is good proof thereof, that either side has any desire to injure either the pockets or reputation of the other. Why, then, so many otherwise respectable and sensible men should fly into a passion when such subjects come up, is n question which we must just now leave to philosophers to explain. There are two grounds for the observance ; distinct and each self-sufficient, and still each supporting the other. The first is the command ; wrongly supposed, even by some who are good Christians, to have become obsolete with the change in the day. But it stands in good company; on an equal footing with other commands that no one disputes. Alongside of " Thou shalt not kill;" " Thou shalt not bear false witness ;" stands, " In it thou shalt do no work." The same authority, the same authenticity, the same general adaptation to the wants of human society, exist for this as for the others. Believing this, is it unmanly or unreasonable to obey, or even is it superstitious to expect reward for such obedience and vice versa? " Work " means the business of the six days allotted thereto, and it was in answer to a constrained interpretation of this word "work" that the Divine Man uttered what is the second ground for observance of the day:"The Sabbath is made for man." With respect to this there is no difficulty in convincing most men that a day of rest from actual business is a good thing, especially when convenient. It would seem however as if the principle should be carried further. Man is so constituted, that he cannot be fully developed into all that the Maker intended, without devoting time and strength to the worship of that Maker. He is injuring and wronging both himself and society, by not taking a due proportion of time, and devoting a due proportion of evening to this noble and truly manly duty which alone can save society from utter corruption. Hence it is that society has a right to demand, and a community have a right to demand that what interferes with this duty shall be stopped, except when rial exigencies require exceptions. There is no bigotry, nor superstition, nor intolerance in this; it is sound wisdom and the best sense, and deserves respect and consideration. Now when we are told that " two millions of people are waiting for their mails" it is very true and sounds very plausible as an argument. But no one asks the steamers to be idle a day. Do not the Eastern mails throb in regular pulsations into San Francisco from New York daily, yea, twice a day ? Is it not possible to accommodate those waiting two millions by Stirling the steamer on Thursday instead of on Saturday for her eight-days-to-a-minute voyage? Or is the The Y. M. C. A. held its annual business meeting at the residence of S. B. Dole, at Makiki, A sufficient number were present to make the meeting interesting. The reports showed thiit through the liberal remembrance of our citizens, the present wants of the Society, including especially the Reading Room had lieen provided for. The following officers were elected for the incoming President— J. li. Atlierton. Vict President— T. R. Walker. Treasurer —W. W. Hull. Secretary—J. E. Tucker. The treasurer elect having resigned in consequence of removal from town. Mr. E. C. Damon has been elected to the office. The meeting was rendered interesting by varied remarks and proposals from different members. An Envoy Plenipotentiary was qualified, in the person'of one of the members departing for the States (W. R. Castle), to represent the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. abroad. One of the most important measures of the evening was the adoption of a plan for the production of essays at the regular monthly meetings, the subject to be announced the month previous, in order that news telegraphed on Saturday more valuable than that of any other day. Or is it barely possible that British letters arriving in New York on the previous Sunday—giving six days for the passage across, —are the only valuable ones? And here we leave the subject, feeling, that perhaps, after all the timetable is changed, and that in this case it is a dead Satan that we are after. But the weapons will do for another encounter. the members may prepare for discussion, if so inclined. After the business of the meeting had been transacted, asocial spread prepared the" members for the ride homeward ; and left pleasant remembrances of the evening.

It is bad enough to hear words of profanity drop from the lips of excited, thoughtless and wicked men who have not the fear of God before their minds, but positively inexcusable and indecent for editors and magazine writers to cover over their pages with profane words or expressions, although they may be included within quotation marks. Some California papers are highly culpable upon this point, but when the " Atlantic Monthly " allows low and profane expressions to disfigure its pages, it certainly forfeits the title of " immaculate " given to it by Hawthorne. Suppose Thackeray and other writers in their private correspondence with the editor of that magazine, so far forgot themselves as to write words of profanity, we hardly think the writer of the series of articles entitled " Whispering Gallery," is justified in putting their profanity in type. If it is wrong to use one profane word, how much more so to multiply it ten thousand times by printing and re-printing it ? from the Marquesas.— By the rethe American whaleship Concordia, Capt. Jones, which took the Rev. S. Kauwealoha to the Marquesas last fall, recent news has been received. The long and severe drought has made food scarce upon the islands—breadfruit especially. Nothing of special interest to report. Mr. Keiwi was very low with sickness on the island of Fatuhiva. Oap't. Jones supplied the missionaries with stores for their present necessities. The missionaries write in appreciation of Capt. Jones' kindness. News turn of Origin of the Hawaiians. Visits On the 13th of April, W. C. Jones, Esq., American origin of the Hawaiian people. He took the ground that the Malayan origin ol this people could not be established by reason and fact, but that they must have come hither from the American coast. This idea he endeavored to prove by the natural course of winds and currents, by.laoguagc and the habits of the people. While we are not quite prepared to accede to this new theory, we confess there is one strong argument against the old Malayan theory, which Mr. Jones urged with much force, i.e., the winds and currents. The lecturer also endeavored to sustain the proposition that the Hawaiian* are the tppical people of Polynesia, and other groups of islands have been peopled from this group. There was so much that was really new and interesting in the theory of Mr. Jones, that we sincerely hope the lecture may be published. It will be eagerly perused by that large and increasing class of readers who are interested in tracing the migration and origin of nations.

The statement of the present results of their labors forms the most interesting volume whose title stands at the head of this notice. If the actual discoveries so far nidde are not of the highest importance, certain clues have been gained which may lead to greater things hereafter, und a stimulus has been imparted to effort in this direction which must be widely felt. Already a movement has been made in this country, looking to similar explorations in the lands lying east of the Jordan. The narratives embodied in 'The Recovery of Jerusalem ' are exceedingly minute, and are amply illustrated by maps and engravings. The information here gathered cannot fail to prove attractive to all antiquarians, but will have an especial fascination for students of the Bible and of the long history for which Jerusalem furnishes a centre. Reference has already been nude to the drouth in 1864 which gave occasion for the present series of explorations. In this connection we make the following extract: " The principal dependence of the inhabitants is on the cisterns, which receive the rain collected on the roofs and terraces of their houses. Those cisterns which have lately been built by Europeans in convents and dwelling-houses, are good, and, being carefully cleaned out once a year, always keep the water sweet, but it is far otherwise in the native houses. When rain commences to fall, every effort is made to collect as much as possible; all the channels are thrown open, and through these the summer's accumulation of rubbish is carried into the cisterns below; water is even collected from the streets, and the state they are in at the end of the dry season is almost too filthy for description. During early summer little evil arises from using the water of these cisterns, the heavier particles settling to the bottom; toward autumn, however, the water gets low, the buckets in descending stir up the deposit, and the mixture which thousands then have to use as their daily beverage, is too horrible to think of. It is at this time that a miasma appears to rise from the refuse, and that the fever season commences. It is difficult to obtain statististical information in Jerusalem, but one fact alone will show the unhealthy nature of the city: the Jewish population is estimated at about 9,000, yet in twelve months, more than 13,000 cases of sickness were attended to in their own hospital and that of the Protestant Mission. Much relief might be obtained by the adoption of a few simple sanitary precautions; every cistern should be well cleaned once a year and the refuse removed to a distance, instead of being thrown in front of the door to be carried back to the cistern by the first shower. The roofs and terraces of the houses should be well swept, and the water from them made to pass through wire gauze or some simple filtering apparatus, before entering the cistern."

Having so recently visited those regions in company with the Judge, it was like making a second visit to the shores of the Mediterranean.

Alexander C. Cary will was allowed to stand good : testified that one of the signatures " slipped What is truth? asked jesting Pilate; and in the tracing." George C.

Sawyer, come under our notice than the celebrated writing-master, of Boston, found the disputed Rowland will case, the eventful history of signatures " unnatural, studied, made with which is related in the last number of Little great effort," to make them look exactly like & Brown's American Law review. the authentic writing. J)r. Charles T. JackHetty H. Robinson was the daughter of a son, chemist and State Assayer of MassachuNew Yorker, Mott Robinson, and of Abby setts, asserted that under the microscope one Howland, his wife. She lived with her aunt, of the signatures was shown to have been '■ Sylvia Ann Howland, in New Bedford, and was estranged from her father. Edward Mott Robinson died worth nearly six millions, all of which his daughter inherited. Sylvia Ann Howland, the aunt, was an old and feeble woman, childless, of simple habits, and living a retired life. She died some time after Hetty's father, " worth," as the phrase is, over two millions. Hetty Robinson was her chief companion in her later years; and when the old lady died, a will was found dated in 1863, giving about half of her estate in charity, and the income of the remainder to her niece. Hereupon Hetty Robinson produced another will, which gave her the whole estate; and asserted her claims before the courts of law. Her story was that she and the old lady, her aunt, had exchanged wills, each agreeing to bequeath to the other all her property; that this was done before the death of Mott Robinson, at the instance of the old lady, who did not like Hetty's father; and that it was a condition of this exchange of wills, that neither snould alter ihe testamentary disposition without notice to the other. Now the opponents of Hetty Robinson's claims, disputed the genuineness of one of the signatures in this will—that on the "second page," which was in fact a fly leaf. It is an ugly word, but the fact is, they charged that Sylva Ann Howland's signature on the two copies produced of this " second page," were forged. And it is here that we meet with the astonishing contradiction, on which we remarked above. John E. Williams, president of the Metropolitan Bank; Joseph E. Paine of Brooklyn, thirty years an accountant; George Phippen, Jr., of Boston, a bank teller ; Solomon Lincoln, cashier and president of a bank ; Chas. A. Putnam, broker and banker, of Boston ; William F. Davis, of Boston, formerly bank clerk, and for twenty years a studentof handwriting ; Lemuel Gulliver, a bank cashier, and others, tesified that the signatures were undoubtedly forged. George N. Comer, president of the commercial college in Boston, an expert in handwriting, declared that both the signatures to the second page," were forgeries, and that one was done by placing pnper over a genuine signature and making " '• written in pale ink, and covered with a Boston Lunatic Hospital; Stephen Fairbanks, late treasurer of the Western Railroad ; George C. Wilde, clerk of the Su- preme Judicial Court; Francis W. Palfrey, counselor at law, and special examiner for the court of the complainant'* witnesses ; and Joseph B. Spear, a copyist, former clerk to Governor Andrew. These signatures all show a remarkable uniformity, and in some of them the covering appears us remarkable as in those of the case at bar." But this is not all; Sylvia Ann Howland's own signatures to bills of lading were tested, and, it is asserted, in some instances found to match as closely as the disputed signatures. What shall we say then to Professor Peirce, with his mathematical calculation of probabilities. Other experts, George H. Morse,engraver, T. C. Mullin, writing-master, Joseph A. Willard, clerk of the Superior Court, C. French, principal of a commercial college, and John A. Lowell, engraver, all believe the signatures genuine. George Kye, draughtsman, experienced in tracing, found no evidence of tracing; George Mathiot of the Coast Survey Office, believes that no one but a practiced expert could have made a tracing which should be so well done, and holds, therefore, that the signatures are genuine. Finally to match Dr. Jackson and Professor Peirce, Professor Agassi/ and Dr. Oliver Wendell very thick and black and gummy ink." Prof. E. N. Horsford declared the same signature or painted," and to have been " rewritten found indications of tracing in both the disputed signatures. Finally, Prof. Benjamin Peirce, a celebrated mathematician, usserted Holmes, testify that under the microscope that the chances of three signatures being as there are no signs of tracing, and Professor much alike as the three under examination, Agassiz remarks: " Under a compound miwere, mathematically considered, as two croscope, with a power exceeding thirty diamthousand six hundred and sixty-six millions eters, the paper appeared to consist of'fibers of millions, against one. felted together, intercrossing each other in Here were sixteen witnesses, all experts, every direction, not unlike a pile of chips some chemists and microscopists of renown, pressed together.' The action of the ink on and all men of high character, who united these fibers is analyzed and explained with in the assertion that the signatures were his usual clearness: the thicker portions forged ; and some even showed how it was being accumulated upon the superficial fibers, done, and found the traces of bungling work. like mud along the river side after a freshet, But see how these sixteen experts were met. while the more fluid portion has penetrated To answer the assertion that no one ever deeper.
