I. IST t. SEanomgloishnrtsMiGeohnlabtIsr slands. The Kingsmill, or Gilliert Islands, were first occupied by American and Hawaiian missionaries in 1857. News was received a few days since, in a letter written by the Rev. S. G. Whitmee, a missionary of the London Missionary Society in Sydney, giving the information that Samoan missionaries under the Loudon Missionary Society, had been placed on two of the southern islands of the Gilbert Group. In order to understand the facts in the case, it must lie remembered that sonic of these are north and some south of the line, as follows : Makin mil Butaritari (I'iift.

No accurate census of the whole group has been taken. About two years ago the American missionaries stationed Hawaiians on Drummond's, south of the line, although there was the understanding that the English Society should evangelize south. and Americans north of the equator.

The Knights of St. John—arc not their deeds of prowess pictured in glowing language in all the histories that treat of the attempted conquests of the Crusaders f For months they defended the city against the attacks of the Saracens. History shows no deeds of greater valor than were performed by those Knights of Rhodes. As we walked the silent streets, we were carried back to the time when Solynmn the Magnificent attacked the city with a fleet of four hundred ships, and an army of one hundred and forty thousand men. Day after day the city was gallantly defended, but at last the Grand Master, overpowered by numbers, was obliged to give up the city, and from that time to this the Turks have held possession. Picsi-oit states lhat for six months the brave Knights with their own good swords, iinnideil by a single European power, withstood the whole array of the Ottoman Empire, and when at length compelled to surrender, they obtained such honorable terms from Solyman, as showed he knew how to respect valor, though in a Christian foe. The coats of arms of the Knights from England, France and Germany, und from every Christian country of Europe, still remain engraved on the houses, and it is to the credit of the Turks that they have allowed them to remain. There is one street remaining as the Knights left it, now uninhabited, and it was with a melancholy interest that we walked through that deserted street with its knightly symbols—the only things remaining in Rhodes, except the walls of the city, to remind us of its once glorious defenders. Death of Dean Alford. Late English papers announce the death of this distinguished Biblical scholar. He was Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. His edition of the Greek Testament was an invaluable contribution to sacred learning. We have now lying on our table his " New Testament for English Readers, with a Critical and Explanatory Commentary," in four volumes. In concluding his remarks upon the Book of Revelations, he thus modestly writes: " This, my labor of now four and twenty years, is herewith completed. Ido it with humble thankfulness, but with a sense of utter weakness before the power of His word, and inability to sound the depths even of its simplest sentence." (1866.) If one of the best scholars in England and most learned men of the age could thus write when laying down his pen, after a life-study of the Bible, how utterly contemptible those flippant persons appear, who without much reading of the Bible, even in the English language, presume to pass a judgment upon the sacred volume. Dean Alford's remarks remind us of the words of the late Mr. Barnes of America, in reviewing forty " nearly years "of continued study of the Bible. See his preface to the Book of Psalms. , IS7 I.

Mr. Nobbs, pastor of Norfolk Island. He is directly from that part of the world, and hns furnished us with much interesting information respecting the descendants of the "old Pitcairners," now living on both Pitcnirn's and Norfolk islands. On Pitcairn's there are 60 inhabitants, and among them Betsy Young, a daughter of John Adams, the venerable old patriarch, under whose instruction the Pitcairners were really trained in the fear and nurture of God. On Norfolk Island there are 325 inhabitants ; hence the total number, about 385 now living, who have descended from the Pitcairners of the Bouvty. They are under the Colonial Government of New South Wales, but are allowed to govern themselves much after their own views. The Rev. Mr. Nobbs still continues in his old age to officiate as pastor and physician. He is truly a patriarch among them, having 10 living children, and about 50 grand-children. Of the second generation of "old Pitcairners," there are now living on Norfolk Island, Arthur Quintal, George Adams, and Rachel Evans— the latter a daughter of John Adams, above alluded to. Bishop Patterson, the English missionary Bishop of Melanesia, is also living upon Norfolk Island. He received the grant of 1,000 acres of land for a mission school. He has established a school, which now contains 140 pupils, gathered from New Hebrides, Solomon and Banks' islands. Once every year he visits those islands, taking teachers, who have been educated in his school. The missionary vessel Southern Cross is under his direction. The present prospects of the mission are quite prosperous. From all we can learn, Norfolk Island is a beautiful spot—a gem of the South Seas. It is about 21 miles in circumference, and admirably diversified with wood-land and cultivated fields, being well watered aitd advantageously situated for the supply of whaleships cruising in that part of the ocean.

There is not only a unity of race, but a unity in the desires, thoughts and aspirations of all men. He who would truly understand what is in man, or mankind at large, must study not only human nature as manifested in one part of the world and in one nation, but he must study the peoples of all lands nnd all ages. In order to do this, we see the importance of studying carefully the influence of those old Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Arisiotle, whose thoughts and teachings have exerted such a controlling influence upon the world. Not long since we read with intense interest Draper's " Intellectual Development of Europe," in which the reader's attention was directed to influence of the Grecian poets, mathematicians and philosophers upon the condition of knowledge as it now appears in Europe and America. Now we have another work upon a somewhat kindred subject, " Christianity and Greek Philosophy," while another of close relationship, Tyler's " Theology of the Greek Poets," is lying on our table. All these works take us back to Greece, and make us realize that there may be much of truth in the somewhat strong language of R. W. Emerson, when he says, in remarking upon books, in " Society and Solitude : " " Of Plato I hesitate to speak, lest there should be no end. •* * * He contains the future, as he came out of the past. In Plato, you explore modern Europe in its causes and seed, all that in thought, which the history of Europe embodies or has yet to embody. The well-informed man finds himself anticipated. Plato is up with him. Nothing has escaped him." Alas, we fear the world is not much wiser than it was two or three thousand years ago. It may know a little more about chemistry, geology and astronomy, but that is about all. Even long ere Grecian and Roman supremacy lived those old Egyptians. They knew many things respecting which the world is now ignorant. We are reading Dr. Cocker's book with much interest, and although not coinciding with all his reasoning, we still find *: u mi- Loss of the Bark "Dashing Wave."

London Yates & Alexander, Publishers. : For sixteen yours (1838-1854) the author of this volume was a missionary of the London Missionary Society on the Island of Rarotonga. During his sojourn in the South Seas, he visited various neighboring islands and gathered abundant materials for a most interesting volume, with the above title. It is now just fifty years since native missionaries from Tahiti first introduced Christianity into the Hervey Group, of which Rarotonga is one of the principal islands. This volume contains interesting sketches of not only the Hervey Group, but also several islands in what is called Western Polynesia, namely : Aneityum. Tana, Fotuna, Eronianga (where Rev. J. Williams was killed), Fate, Mare, Lifu, New Caledonia, and other islands. English missionaries who have labored under the patronage of the London Missionary Society have issued several most interesting volumes, illustrative of missionary life, including «he following "Turner's Nineteen Years' Residence in Polynesia ; " " Buzecott's Mission Life ; " " Murray's Missions in Western Polynesia," and several others which we could mention. Persons desirous of reading works relating to Polynesia, can take up no more interesting books. The volume now noliced, " Gems," &c, is for sale at Thrum's book-store. : Island: a brief account of the Island of Nine, and of the Work of tbe Gospel among its People. By Rev. Thomas Powell, F. L.

Tbe bark JJusking ll'uve, a successful China tea clipper, is down as mining in the Sydney Mtrnlug Hriulil. Cuptaiu Vandervord was tbe master ot the vessel, and Irom him we learn the following particulars i—lie left Koochow on July '2.) bound for Sydney ; and on tbe night of August It, the weather being thick and niuulls coming down at interval.", Captain Vandct-vord took iv the niainlop-galluntsail at 10 r. ji , and went bctow to lie on the sofa in the cabin ; at half-pant 10 he went on deck again aud was just in time to see a'small island right ahead ; he shouted to the man at the wheel to put the helm down, and the vessel had nearly come round when bet- heel touched on the reef which surrounds the island. Half an hour after taking the bottom the copper came over the weatherside in sheets, and the foremast sunk 18 inches ; tbe mainmast was cut away, but the ship began to break up fast. The island proved to be Wake Island, small and uninhabited, surrounded by a reef, rendering it impossible to land if there is any wind blowing at all. Captain Vandervord says it is 10 miles out of the position given in the chart, 10 80' N., 167 K. The crew took to the long boat, and Captain Vandervord secured a chart and nautical instruments, but strange to say no compass was saved ; a case of colouial wine, a bag and a half of bread and two buckets were put in the boat, but no water ; and for 31 days the thirteen men were in the open boat without seeing 1 nil or a ship, or receiving any assistance whatever. They left the wreck at 10 tbe morning after, and with sail made of blankets sewn together, and fixed to :ui oar, began their weary jouruey iv search of some inhabited island. Their sufferings may be imagined. For tho bat five day* they had not a drop of water, and the captain served out one bottle of CaWatTa daily between the thirteen ; that saved their lives ; after that time they had rain and caught wuter, but except at tbe time it was actually raining a half pint of water each only a day was served out and a handful of bread. To the credit of tbe men and their commander there was no insubordination, no attempt to obtain more than their share of tbe scanty provisions and previous water ; silently but resigned they passed day after day, the suu pouring down on their unsheltered heads. Every day Captain Vandervord got the boat's position by means of his instruments, but when the weather was dull of course they weut in all directions for want of it compass, and especially on cloudy nights ; it was the master's intention to make for the Kingsmill group, but tbe current was against them, and then a courso was steered for Ascension Island, aud hud any of the party been able to row they might have reached it, but, weak as they were, all they cculd tlo was to keep their boat before the wind with the blanket sail. After 30 days of suffering, their mouths parched, tongues swollen, wet with grateful showers, scorched by a tropioal sun, fully undergoing Coleridge's Ancient Mariner'! sufferings cape!* ° ° .

Even the liquorseller will point to the drunkard, unil remark the wreck he is. But how to oppose it, how to lessen its ravages nnd to diminish its effects ; there is wide and honest difference of opinion. Total abstinence pledges, temperance societies, temperance tracts anil lectures, have all been enthusiastically nnd faithfully tried with varying success. The law has been invoked to force u reformation by shutting off the supply of intoxicating agents; but the destruction still goes on to a frightful extent, in spile ofall these influences. Great progress, however, in the right direction has been made. All of these different lines of effort have effected much, doubtless, directly nnd arbitrarily, as oaths of abstinence, and prohibitory laws, but their real and most valuable result is the bettor public sentiment which they have built up and cherished. And here, in the field of public sentiment, lies the hope of temperance. Unless t/tat is healthy and true, pledges, and laws, nnd cold water legions, will go for little or nothing : if it is sound, men will shun excess and intoxication, just as now they shun forgery or burglary. It is clear that under this view, the condition of public opinion on this matter is considerably below the proper standard. A young man may drink under social conventionalities until he loses his ordinary behavior belonging lo good breeding, in an uncertain demeanor in which novel eccentricities of manner, combined with an unexpected and often startling association of ideas, produce an effect which would be comedy itself, were it not so really and sadly tragic, and we are only amused by it, instead of being shocked ; or if we are shocked, the impression is light and transient. We scorn and shun the confirmed drunkard, who, in the grasp of his terrible habit, from which he is well-nigh powerless to escape, deserves our deepest pity, while the festive reveler, starting, of his own choice, down the same road is a "good fellow," and suffers not in our esteem. In other words, intemperance in itself is not criminal in the view of society, which only passes sentence upon its victims when from its effects they become no longer bearable. Results are punished, the causes arc passed over. Under the prevalence of this sentiment, it is not strange that men should thoughtlessly and freely indulge in stimulants which custom has made social, and easily overstep the limit* of a temperate use, and that without any compunctions of con- as loiii; as nn very ridiculous stagej over the Fort Street Church.

General Armstrong, or the " orthordox General " as he was titled, was called upon, and spoke of Christianity as it was to him, a thing to be judged of from the lives of its believers, rather than their catechisms : a grand warfare under the leadership of Christ. The Established Churchmen of England are discussing measures looking to disestablishment, not in favor of it evidently, but making ready for the evil day. At the quarterly Sunday-school Concertof the Kawaiahao and branch Sunday-schools, held on the 26th ult. iv the Kawaiahao church, the Superintendent, Mr. William K. Castle, closed his relations with the school, and gave them his farewell in a brief but earnest address. He has been in charge of the school for over two years, and has great reason at this time to rejoice at the prosperous condition which it has reached under his care. Mr. Castle shortly leaves for the States for the prosecution of his studies. Rev. Walter Frear was.examined on Tuesday evening of the 21st ult. by an ecclesiastical council, with reference to installation — Wnshinirtun Street, Sun Kranrisco." - This paper—the Dial—is devoted to ihe interests of " Sunday-schools, Temperance Societies, and Young Men's Christian Associations."

KGVPT —THE SUEZ CANAL—PORT SAID—JAFFA. Egypt is waking up from the sleep of centuries. Steamboats ascend the Nile. The electric telegraph stretches along its banks. The whistle of the steam-engine is heard in the midst of the deserts. The Suez Canal \ unites once more the waters of the Mediterranean with the Red Sea. We say once more, for three thousand years ago there was a canal through that silent waste of desert; and even as late as the battle of Actium, the Egyptian galleys sailed on to the Red Sea, which had recently ploughed the waves of the Mediterranean. Early in the morning of a beautiful December day we bid farewell to Cairo with its minarets shining in the sun, its sculptured sarcophagi made by hands that three thousand years ago crumbled to the dust, and are oil" for the railway station to take the train for Ismailia, the midway port on the Suez Canal, between Port Said on the Mediterranean, and Suez on the Red Sea. After a ride of six hours through the desert, we arrive at Lake Timseh. Ismalia has sprung up like magic from the desert, and where a few years ago there was nothing but a sandy waste, now fine buildings and streets and fountains and flowers show what may be done even by the humble hand of man. Through the energy of one man, Lesseps, the Suez Canal has been made a success. He thought of the ships from Europe creeping slowly along the coast of Africa, passing the Cape of Good Hope, and sailing slowly along the Indian Ocean to the East. He thought of the glory that France would receive, should this great undertaking be completed under her auspices; and after years of labor, when bold-hearted men would have given up the enterprise in despair, and when other nations looked coldly on and prophesied failure, Lesseps has united the Mediterranean with the vast waters of the Indian Ocean. The canal is one hundred miles long. The average width at the top is three hundred and twenty feet; at the bottom two hundred and forty-six feet, and the depth twenty-six feet. It is doubtful whether this enterprise from a financial point �10 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1871.

" You have any partners, Ah Ying ? I " asked. " Oh, yes! I have partners. I got one partner dead ; my partner all same ; no different. I make all I can ; he have share.

But to return to Ah Ying ; he is the best judge of flour 1 ever met with ; that partner in China could not leave his interests in safer hands. 1 asked him, this very evening, how he acquired such a knowledge of that article. I give his explanation as he repeated it to us : " You know Mr. Davis, Golden Gate Mill ?—very good man. Igo work for him ; work all same coolie. I see wheat come in ; go in mill, come out flour, but very coarse. I go home, think; every night I think, think. By and by, see coarse put down other place, come out fine; by and by more fine. Go home night; more think. Speak Mr. Davis; he show me : he tell me every thing. Every night, I think; every day, I look the flour. Now you bring me flour, I tell you all about him one minute. I know how he made ; ah, yes ! I know him I work for it." Thus,study and work, with the assistance of a teacher, who, standing at the highest point in his calling, is proud to impart information, have made this man a competent judge of a staple in which he is now a large : dealer. With Ah Ying, we close these reminiscences of the Chinese merchants of San Francisco. Examples might be multiplied ; but it was only with a view of simply calling public attention to the recognition of such a class that we have stated the facts that have been given. A noble body of men, cultivated in manners, educated in mind, they have borne for many years the arrogance which power allied with ignorance always produces. In a city largely controlled by Irish influence, they have succeeded, by years of integrity, so marked as to win approval from even their enemies, in making the credit of their nation as merchants unimpeachable. To-day, they are trusted with thousands on personal security ; and it is a matter of pride with them that the Chinese houses, as a whole, stand higher in credit than the same number of mercantile firms selected at random from any other nationality.

It adds much to the interest, we take, in reading a hymn or poem, to learn the incident or circumstance which called it forth. Macaulay, in his review of Addison's life and writings, furnishes some most interesting statements respecting the origin of the familiar and oft-sung hymn printed in so many English and American hymn-books, commencing, " How are thy servants blest, 0 Lord ! " It appears that about the year 1700, Ad*> dison visited Italy, and while making the passage from Marseilles to Genoa, the master of the ship gave up all for lost, and confeased to a priest on board. How deep an impression this perilous voyage made upon the mind of the great English essayist and poet, we may learn from the perusal of this beautiful hymn, which has been sadly mutilated and cut short, as published in all of our hymn-books. We think our readers will be interested in seeing the ode or hymn in its original form, as printed in the Spectator, September 20ih, 1712. hi its original form, it will be seen to contain an allusion to the Alps, which he crossed at the Mt. Cenis Pass in December, and also to passing through " burning climes " and breathing " in tainted air," which refers to his residence at Room during the hot &nl sickly season. God was to Addison, as beautifully described by Macaulay, " the all-wise and all-powerful friend who had watched over his cradle with more than maternal tenderness ; * * who had rebuked the waves of the Ligurian gulf, had purified the autumnal air of the Campagna, and had restrained the avalanches of Mount Cenis." lire thy servants blest, 0 Lord ! How sine is their defence ! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help Omnipotence. In foreign realms and lands remote, 2. Supported by thy care, Through burning climes I pass'd unhurt, And breathed in tainted air. 3.

Yet then from all my griefs, 0 Lord, Thy mercy set me free, Whilst, in the confidence of prayer, My soul took hold on thee. For 7. though in dreadful whirls we hung High on the broken wave, I knew thou wert not slow to hear. Nor impotent to save. 8. The storm was laid, the winds retir'd, Obedient to thy will ; The sea that roar'd at tby command, At thy eomniaad was still. 11 9. In midst of dangers, fears, and death, Thy goodness I'll adore, And praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly' hope for more. 10. My life, if thou prescrv'st my life, Thy sacrifice shall be ; And death, if death must be my doom, Shall join my soul to thee. " Of all objects that I have ever seen, there is none which affects my imagination so much as the sea, or ocean. I cunnot see the heavings of this prodigious bulk of waters, even in a calm, without a very pleasing astonishment ; but when it is worked up in a tempest, so that the horizon on every side is nothing but foaming billows and floating mountains, it is impossible to describe the agreeable horror that rises from such a prospect. A troubled ocean, to a man who sails upon it, is, I think, the biggest object that he can see in motion, and consequently gives his imagination one of the highest kinds of pleasure that can arise from greatness. I must confess it is impossible for me to survey this world of fluid matter without thinking on the hand that first poured it out, and made a proper channel for its reception. Such an object naturally raises in my thoughts the idea of an Almighty Being, and convinces me of his existence as much as a metaphysical demonstration. The imagination prompts the understanding, and, by the greatness of the sensible object, produces in it the idea of a being who is neither circumscribed by time nor space. As I have made several voyages upon the" sea, I have often been tossed in storms, and on that occasion have frequently reflected on the descriptions of them in ancient poets. I remember Longinus highly recommends one in Homer, because the pott has not amused himself with little fancies upon the occasion, as authors of an inferior genius, which he mentions, had done but because he has gathered those circumstances which are the most apt to terrify the imagination, and which really happen in the raging of a tempest. It is for the same reason that I prefer the following description of a ship in a storm, which the psalmist has made, before any other I have ever met with : ' They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters ; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he com inn nde th and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waters thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths, their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then they are glad, because they be quiet, so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.' " By the way, how much more comfortable, as well as rational, is this system of the psalmist, than the pagan scheme in Virgil and other poets, where one deity is represented as raising a storm, and another as laying it! Were we only to consider the sublime in this piece of poetry, what can be nobler than the idea it gives us of the Supreme Being thus raising tumult among the elements, and recovering them out of their confusion ; thus troubling and becalming p nature?" �12 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1871. north latitude 28 ° 13' und west longitude 177 ° to hack the engines, 2.".', distant from Honolulu about 1,1110 miles, tinued for about ten THE FKIEIND.

It was upon one of tTleee islands known us situated in latitude 28 ° 23' north and longitude 178 ° 30' west, Unit the United States steamer Saginaw went ashore on the morning of tbp 29th of October ItiHt, while on her way to San Francisco from Midway (formerly Brooke's} Island. There tier crew remained, having all fortunately reached the shore in safely, until the 3d of the present month, when they were rescued from their ball-starved and perilous situation by the timely arrival of the steamer Kilauta, which hud been promptly dispatched to their aid by the Hawaiian Government on the receipt of the news of the disaster at Honolulu. In the Hawaiian Spectator lor July, 1838, we find the following account of Ocean Island and the wreck of the Gledstancs, us furnished by the Ocean Island, master: . The Island, in Lat. 28 ° 23' N. and Long. 178 ° 30'"W. which I suppose to be Ocean Island, is about three miles in circumference. It is composed of broken coral and shells, and Is covered, near the shore, with low bushes. In the seasoß, it abounds with sea birds, and at times, there is a considerable number of hair-seals. There is always an abundance of fish, and in a great variety. The highest part of the island is not more than ten feet above the level of the sea. The only fresh water is what drains through the sand after the heavy rains. From the specimens of dead shells lying about the beach, there appears to be a great variety of shells." The Spectator says: The Oltditanet was wrecked on the 9th July, 1887,about midnight. Only one man was lost ; he jumped overboard, intoxicated. Capt. Brown remained on the island till the 16th Dec., when himself with bis chief mate and eight seaman sailed for the Sandwich Islands, in a schooner they had, with great toil, and perseverance and skill, constructed from fragments of the wreck. The other officers and men who remained several months longer, and endured great sufferings, were subsequently brought off by a vessel despatched for that purpose, by H. B. M.'s Consul at these Islands." Herewith we give a sketch of the island. Q marks the position where the Gletlstanes was wrecked, and S that of the Saginaw.

When day broke, an island appeared, less than a mile from the ship, sur- " On tho 14th of May the Saginaw sailed for Honolulu, and up to the date of her loss, October 29th, had made four trips to and from the island. On her hist return from Honolulu, Captain Shard brought orders to the working party to discontinue operations, as the appropriation ($50,000) had been exhausted. After toiling laboriously and constantly, wlicncver the weather and health of the men permitted, under water and in boats and scows for six months, using largo quantities of powder and fuse, they had excavated a channel near the centre of the out about 15 feet wide and 450 feet in length, and the $50,000 was expended, and the work brought to a stop. At this rate the work will cost, when completed, at least the sum of $1,000,000! It is very much to bo doubted whether the United States Government will consent to the throwing away of any more money in the useless attempt to make an available harbor at Midway, after the experience of the past year. Having taken on board the working party and their materials on Friday, (traditionally unlucky day for sailors) the Saginaw left Midway Island We propose giving here a concise history of for San Francisco. It was determined, however, the ill-starred expedition, which has resulted so to visit Ocean Island, about 48 miles to the west, disastrously in the loss of four valuable lives and where it was possible that some vessel might have the squandering of a large amount of money. been wrecked. It was upon this island that tho This account is mainly compiled from journals British ship Gledstanes was wrecked in 1837, and the American ship Parker, in September, 1842. kept on the islands.

Tbe order was given immediately rounded by the reef. Tnis was Ocean Island, to which the Saginaw had come in search of shipwrecked people, —and they were undoubtedly found, in the persons of hor own crew. At 5 o'clock P. M., word was passed to abandon the ship. All hands accordingly went on shore. The damaged provisions were spread out on awnings and such sails as could be got at. Much of the bread had been placed in bags, and the wash of the sea rushing through the holes in the ship's sides had reduced it to a mere pulp, such as to bo absolutely uneatnble, except to people in danger ofstarvation. The bread in boxes fared better, since it was kept in shape, and was not so thoroughly saturated. Much of the beef and pork was broken out of the barrels, and everything was adrift. Some chickens, turkeys and sheep that were saved, were turned loose ou the island. It was necessary to put all hands—93 souls—at once on short allowance, for it was uncertain what supplies the island might afford, and a long period might elapse before they were relieved. After the frugal supper, those who were fortunate enough to have saved tobacco, divided, and after a smoke, as cheerfully as thecircumstances would allow all Bettled their wearied bodies among the bushes, to sleep, or to ponder over the events of tho day and to speculate on the prospects ahead. It was in truth, a remarkable shipwreck. The night had been clear starlight, with a moderate breeze. The ship was heading direct for an island whose position and distance—and that a short one—were known, approximately if not precisely. She was making not over two and a half to three knots, yet she ran directly, without any particular lack of vigilance, on a reef which was above water, and on which the breakers were dashing furiously. On the 18th November, the Captain's gig, which had been raised upon, decked, and thoroughly fitted for the purpose, sailed from the inland for Honolulu for assistance, with a crew of four men under the command of the executive officer of the ship, the lamented Lieutenant Talbot. In our issue of January 4th, we printed in full the account of the voyage of 1,100 miles in that small boat, which ended so disastrously to four out of the five who left the island in her. After her departure, the work was vigorously carried on of building a boat in which to visit Midway, to be forty feet long. At length, on the afternoon of the 3d of January, the carpenter, at work on the large boat (ho was encouraged to work by double, i. e., half rations) raised his head to wipe the perspiration from hie face, when he saw a black smoke in the offing! Hardly daring to trust his eyes, he stooped again to his work, but with a beating heart. Soon looking again to seaward, he felt sure that what he saw was the smoke of a �13 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1871. steamer, and then he shouted. In an instant, the camp was in commotion.

Our traveling companion has furnished an interesting sketch of our departure from Egypt and arrival at Joppa. We proceeded immediately to Jerusalem, and returning to Joppa, there spent the first Sabbath of 1870. We attended at the English-German mission premises, divine service in the morning, when the service was read by a German clergyman connected with the mission of Bishop Gobat. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Frazcr, a Scottish Presbyterian clergyman, who is a Professor in the Syrian College at Beirut. In ihe evening a social religious meeting was held at the residence of the American Vice-Consul. The mother of the Consul, Mrs. Hay, and her sister, Miss M. B. Baldwin, we found excellent Christian ladies, who were then forming their plans for opening a school for Syrian boys and girls. A school for girls was in existence within the walls of the city, kept by a Miss Arnott, a Scottish lady. We are glad to learn from ihe following Appeal, published in the New York Observer of December 22d, that they have been successful in their plans of organization, and now only require the necessary funds to do much good. We can say, in the language of Paul in his epistle to the Philippians, " Help those women." They are worthy of aid. The Bethel Sabbath-school has sent its mite. Miss Baldwin was formerly attached to the school of Mrs. Hill at Athens, Greece. •« Orphanage at Joppa.—Mr. John B. Hay, United States Vice-Consul at Joppa, whom travelers in Syria will remember with great pleasure as the accomplished and attentive Acting Consul at Jerusalem during the last year, is now in this country making preparations to occupy a new official position in Syria, to which he has just been appointed. During his stay, he is seeking to raise funds for the better establishment of the school and an orphanage in connection with the Protestant Mission at Joppa. The Mission comprises a school for boys, under the direction of Miss M. B. Baldwin, assisted by native teachers, with sixty-five scholais; and a school for girls, under the direction of Miss J. Arnott, assisted by native teachers, with seventy scholars. It is proposed to establish an orphanage for boys and girls, under the direction of Mrs. Hay, Miss Arnott, and Miss Baldwin. This is the only Protestant Mission in a district numbering fifteen thousand inhabitants. We have no doubt that many of the friends of missions will take great pleasure in contributing to the maintenance of this Mission, and it will commend itself with peculiar force to those who have tarried at Joppa and seen there the need of such labor for the education of its inhabitants. Contributions may be sent to Mr. John B. Hay, 19 Bible House, New York city. Mr. Hay refers to the following among other gentlemen who endorse the enterprise : Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., Rev. S. D. Denison, D* D., Rev. E. D. G. Prim, D. D., Rev. S. H. Tyng, D. D., and Rev. Dr. J. Cotton Smith." It is cold, and yet with warm hearers, warm hearts, and cordial hospitalities, we have had a good Christmas. We do long for the dear friends of the Islands, and for the beauty and balm of the " Emerald Bower." We hope to be with our tropical friends in April. We had a pleasant reception by the Hawaiian Club at tbe United States Hotel in Boston. About sixty were present, —a most precious re-union with friends. I cannot tell you all the places we have visited, and all the dear friends we have seen. To-day Igo to Newark, to talk in the evening about volcanoes and earthquakes ; to-morrow evening ; on the 29th back to I speak at M Boston, to speak three times on the Sabbath. On Monday to Newburyport, thence to Albany, and again to Philadelphia j then to Delaware and Washington. From thence we hope to go to West Missouri, then across the Plains, " over the hills, and far awuy," to the Isles, once afar off, hut now brought nigh by a thousand bands of grace and love Were I to express the master feeling of my heart in regard to our country, 1 would say, Expansion —Expansion in territory, in population, in wealth, in institutions, in improvements, in luxuries, in intellectual pow ers, in business energies, irj all the vital forces and activities of life. I speak wiih less assurance as to morals, and the growth of spiritual life, though a vast amount of well directed thought and heart and toil flows in this direction. In all things, ours is a great nation—a nation of matchless growth and marvelous power. The grett American heart beats from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the St. Lawrence to the Southern gulf; or, in Bible language, " From sea to sea, and from the river to tbe ends of the earth." In all things the nation is becoming gigantic in its proportions. May it not be left of the Lord to commit national suicide. " Happy is that people whose God is the Lord." I have met numerous large bodiesof clergymen in our cities, and made the acquaintance of many noble and excellent men. DEATH OF ALBERT BARNES. ChaplinStevwart. Rev. C. S. Stewart, D. D., late Chaplain in the United States navy, and long known to the Christian public, and beloved by all who knew him, died at Cooperstown, New York, on the 14th inst., aged 75 years. His life has been eventful, useful, honored and extended, and would furnish material for a biography of great interest and value. We might spenk of his eaily life in this city, of his entrance into the navy, of his devoting some years to missionary labor in the Sandwich Islands, of his subsequent wanderings over the world in Government vessels, of his correspondence with the New York Observer, of his devotion to his work as Chaplain at the Naval Hospital at Brooklyn, of his often attendance at the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting, of his deep spiritual piety, of his declining health, his sojourn at Clifton, and his final release at Cooperstown. He was a native of Flemington, New Jersey, and received his education at Princeton College. After his graduation, in 1815,he studied law and theology, and subsequently went to the Sandwich Islands as a missionary, returning in 1825. He published a journal of his residence there in 1828, which passed through six editions in America, and was re-published in England. He received the appointment of Chaplain in the navy in November, 1828, and made his first cruise to Brazil, Peru, and other South American countries, on board the Ylncennss, in 1829-30. He published an account of the cruise, which was received with great favor, and went through several editions both in this country and Great Britain. He also wrote a book on English and Irish society, which was published in 1834. He became editor of the Naval Afnt/iizine in 1836, und subsequently acted as Chaplain of several Navy Yards. His last cruise expired in 1862, after which he retired from the service. Connected by marriage with one of the oldest families in this city, a gentleman of high culture and of the most refined and delicate sensibilities, he maintained through life and in all associations the most complete consistency of Christian character, and to the roughest sons of the ocean he made himself accessible as a brother and friend.—N.

Power of the Bible. Father Hyacinthe, in a sermon preached and printed more than a year ago, expressed the following sentiments in regard to the value of the Bible to a nation giving it free circulation and adhering to its principles : " Do you know why Prussia triumphed in the field of battle (with Austria?)? It was not because there was a lack of bravery on either side ; it was not the effect of that wondrous weapon, for the acquisition of which men are now so eager ; but it was because the assailant was better educated than the assailed, and had a superior religious training ; it was because every Prussian soldier had a Bible in his cap or helmet. In other places I have asserted, and I assert again here, that that which constitutes the strength of the Protestant nation is that when the people come home from their work they enter the family circle, and, sitting by their hearths, read the Bible and their national poetry. We [France] are behindhand with Protestant nations, and especially those who dwell beyond the Atlantic and the Straits of Dover. Twice have I trodden English soil; and I have come to the conviction that the strength of that country is from the Bible." Bound for the North Pole.—Capt. Hall, the Arctic explorer, in his lecture at Brooklyn last night, said he should start on his third trip about the first of May, and will never cease his labors until he has put his foot upon the 90th parallel of north latitude. He will go first to Newfoundland and stay for about a week to obtain some sealers to make up his party ; from thence he will proceed to the western coast of Greenland to procure some skins and a supply of stock fish. From Greenland he will cross Davis' Straits and obtain dogs of the Esquimaux, then cross Baffin's Bay to Smith's Island, thence westward through Jones' Sound and go to the north as far as possible before winter sets in. His sailing master has spent twenty years in the arctic regions, and his first and second officers ten years. If he cannot reach the North Pole in 1872, he will stay another year, or, if necessary, five years. A foreign correspondent of the Times, alluding to the age of the Prussian King, who is past seventy, gives the account of the family complications of the Crown Prince : " Frederick William is married to a sister of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who in due course of time will occupy the throne of England. The Princess of Wales, future Queen of England, is a sister to the heir presumptive of the crown of Denmark. A second sister will hereafter appear as Empress of Russia, while a brother occupies the throne of Greece. Thus the sovereigns of England, Russia, Prussia, Denmark and Greece will form, at no distant period, a nice little family circle, and the party would have received an important addition by placing on the Spanish throne Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, closely connected with the Prussian dynasty, a brother to the reigning Prince of Ronmania, and at the same time brother-in-law to the King of Portugal and the King of the Belgians." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was a beautiful morning in December, when we left Cairo for the purpose of visiting the temples of Sakkara, and the pyramids of Ghiaeh. We crossed the sacred river of the Nile, and soon found ourselves on the sandy desert,—the desert, so quiet, so calm, so emblematical of rest. When these temples and pyramids were built, we do not believe there was any desert here. It was a fruitful part of the great Nile valley, but the sands for ages have been driven here from the Nubian desert, and have made waste places, where once were green pastures and fruitful fields. The night on the desert was passed in our comfortable tent, but we could hear the whispering of the wind, and there were voices ot the past, speaking with no doubtful sound. During the afternoon we had been wandering among the temples and tombs of Sakkara, the site of the ancient Memphis; and magnificent these temples and tombs were—broad, deep and long, almost buried in the sand, the walls stijl showing the pictured hieroglyphics so common in Egyptian temples. The colors were bright, and looked ai if they had been made a few days ago. How these huge masses of stone were ever brought here, sod so finely cut and fitted one to the other, we could not understand. The ancient Egyptians had some power of locomotion that we moderns are ignorant of. We went into one temple tomb, where there were thirty-two immense stone sarcophagi and monoliths—empty now, but once containing either the sacred bulk, o-r perhaps the bodies of the ancient kings. The temples are supposed to be- of the same age a* �2 111 X 11.1 I: N I). J A HI(A IV , 18 11. the pyramids, and they were as much a marvel to old Herodotus as they are to us. After that night in the desert aiming those temples and tombs, we rode over to the pyramids of Cheops and Cephrenes, called the great pyramids. The desert is here again, but the sand hits not buried the pyramids and the sphinx, as it hns the temples and tombs of Sakkara. No date can with certainty lie determined for the building of the pyramids. There they stand as they did three or four thousand years ago, as great u mystery to M as they were to the oldest known historians. The largest pyramid, that of Cheops, covers eleven ncres, measuring 82--110,000 solid feet, and weighs 6,316,000 tons. The height is four hundred and eighty feet. We nscended this hitler pyramid, assisted by two sturdy Egyptians. The ascent was toilsome and somewhat difficult, owing to the height of the steps. From the top the view is grand. The Nile stretches far in a silvery thread through the green valley, the desert skirting the valley. We were in a vnst solitude, a sandy waste. We could see the sphinx gazing with prophetic eye at the Nile. The sphinx has a beautiful face, calm and resolute, though somewhat defaced, with the body of a lion nnd the head of a woman,emblematical of wjsdom and Strength. Here on top of the pyramids, for thousands of years, the names of pilgrims have been cut in the solid rock. Time seems to have no influence over the pyramids. From age to age they appear the same. Man, if he had had the power, would have destroyed them, but they are too vast to be removed by the hand of man. They defy the assaults of time. We entered the inner chamber of the great pyramid. There was a large sarcophagus, once conmining the body of the king in whose honor the pyramid was probably built. It is an immense stone cut from the solid rock, hollowed out in fine proportions and beautifully polished. A Lord Elgin, if possible, would have removed it from its ancient base, but it is too vast and too massive ever to be removed, at least in our time. How were these great stones cut from the quarries ? Obelisks ninety feet long and statues forty feet high were cut from the solid rock by the ancient Egyptians. It is only lately the probable discovery has been made. A recent writer has remarked, that the blocks of stone selected for these monuments were not chance splinters from barbarous efforts of splitting and smashing, but clean slices separated from the native rock, after being selected and accurately defined. And how was this done? By driving in huge iron wedges? No indeed ; that would probably have split — the stone. By infinite labor in chiseling and sawing? No; the ancient Egyptians knew better than that. They cut a small groove along the whole length of say one hundred feet, and in this inserted a number of wooden wedges. Then they poured water into the groove, and the wedges expanding simultaneously and with great force, broke away the huge fragment, as neatly as a strip of glass is taken off by a diamond. Cairo is a fair type of an Oriental city. The people are mostly Mohammedans, although the Copts, who are believed to be the descendants of theancient Egyptians, form a large class of the population. They have a form of Chrisiianity, but that form seems lifeless and fruitless. The mosques are large, hut with no adornment in the interior. Daily from the minareis of the mosques the voice ol tin; muezzin is heard : There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet." The streets arc narrow, except in the modern part of the rity, where theKhedive is endeavoring to imitate Paris in the erection of long boulevards. We visited the Koyal Mosque, which was magnificent, with its marble and alabaster. The population of the city is estimated at five hundred thousand, but a more wretched, ignorant and degraded population it would I* difficult to find. Modern civilization makes little impress on the people. The town of Boulnc is the port of Cairo on the Nile, and lies about a mile from the city. Here the Khedive is forming n museum of Egyptian antiquities. It is a very valuable and extensive one now, probably the largest in the world, although the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum contain a noble collection. It was pleasant to wander through those galleries of Boulac. Here were rich antique jewels, that the daughters of the Pharaohs may once have worn. Here were statues and busts, perchance of the Shepherd Kings. Here was mortality in the shape of the skin and bones of royal mummies, all wrapi in perfumed cerements, which we trust may yet put on the robe of immortality. Their bodies have not yet crumbled to dust, for the nsphaltum has thus far preserved their withered forms. We prefer the quiet grave to the stately mummy for our resting place in this world. " Nokohama Mungero, one of the Japanese Envoys to Europe. From a New Bedford paper, as well as from a letter from Capt. Whitfield, we learn that seven Japanese have arrived in the United States, en route for Europe, who have been sent by the Japanese Government upon a tour of inspection relative to the war now raging. Respecting one of these Envoys a remarkable story may be told, confirming the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." Our part of the story shall commence with his arrival in Honolulu in the fall of 1850, just twenty years ago. He then came from the mines of California, and deposited with us about $75, stating that he was desirous of returning to Japan. We listened to his plan of an expedition with no small amount of incredulity, intimating that he would be executed if he returned to his native land ; but so earnest was he, that we gathered about $100 from a few of the foreign residents of Honolulu, to add to the money already in hand, for the purpose of buying a whaleboat and outfit. This was done, but a few more fixtures were needed, and the following appeal was inserted in the Polynesian of December 14th, 1860: for Japan.—The public is " Expedition aware thatfrom time to time wrecked Japanese have been brought to the Sandwich Islands. There are now three who were brought hither by Capt. W. H. Whitfield in 1841. One of them, John Mung, accompanied Capt. W. to the United States, where he was educated in a gootl common school, besides hav- ing acquired the cooper's trade. •' He has returned to the Islands, and here finds his former shipmates, two of whom propose to accompany him, and, if possible, return to Japan. He has purchased a good whaleboat and outfit, Capt. Whitmore, of the American ship Sarah Boyd, having kindly offered to leave them somewhere oil' the Loochoo Islands, and from thence they hope to make their tray to ,/n/nni. To complete the outfit is wanted— <t 00inpam,a yood foirliny-jdece, a fete articles of cloth toy, shoes, ami a nautical alimtian: for 1850. Will not some benevolent person aid forward the enterprise. The subscriber will be responsible for the safe delivery of the articles referred to. S. C. Damon." The Sarah Jioyd sailed on the 17th, but before sailing, the United States Consul, Judge Allen, at our request furnished Mungero with a duly certified document of American citizenship, well supplied with " seals." Capt. Whitmore reported on his arrival at Shanghae that he launched the boat and his three Japanese passengers off the Loochoo Islands. The original account of the expedition will be found in the Friend of January Ist, 1&51. Ten years passed before we were able to obtain a single item of information respecting Mungero, although we made most diligent inquiry of several officers attached to - Perry's United States Exploring Expedition. On the 17th of May, 1860, the Japanese steamer Kandiaaiarrah arrived in Honolulu, having our old friend Mungero on board as interpreter. Never were we more surprised. He appeared to us as one from the dead ! At our request he gave the fol lowing account of himself, which will be found in the Friend of June Ist, 1860. "In January, 1851, Capt. Whitmore, of the Sarah Jioyd, launched the boat 'Adventurer' from his deck ofTGreat Loochoo, wind blowing fresh from N. W., accompanied with hail. The ship was about five miles from land. After rowing hard for ten hours, we anchored near the land. Next morning I sent Denzo on shore, but he returned with a ' tear in his eye,' because he had forgotten his native language, and was unable to communicate with the people. We all went on shore, and I took a loaded pistol; we made signs to the people for water, and they conducted us to a pond ; we now boiled our coffee and ate some beef and pork, 'American fashion.' The people gave us some sweet potatoes and rice. As we could not speak to the people, we were conducted to a government office, about one mile off, where some rice was given us, in order to see if we could eat rice with tvi o chop-sticks ! We showed them that we knew how to handle the chopsticks,and this exploit settled the question of our nationality, for we were pronounced Japanese! ".A messenger was then dispatched to a city about ten miles off, and after some bantering and threats, we were taken under the - �3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1671. care of the King of Loochoo, who treated us very kindly. We sjient six months in Loochoo, when we were conveyed in a junk to the island of Kiusiu.near the southern point of the island ; we were there taken under the care of the Prince of Thiztumar; we remained at this place forty-eight days. The Prince made very many inquiries respecting America and American people, and our treatment. This prince has great influence ; he treated me with much kindness. " We were then removed to Nangasaki, where we were joined by five more shipwrecked Japanese sailors, who had been forwarded from Honolulu to their own country via China. At Nangasaki we were detained thirty months, not however being confined to a close prison, but allowed large liberties. At the end of two and a half years, we were allowed to proceed to our homes, and, so far as I know, all my companions safely reached their homes, and were welcomed by their and progress of which he is most ardently devoted. His love lor Japan is great." During the last ten years we have occasionally heard from the hf.ro of our story, but surely we never expected to learn that we should have the pleasure of recording the fact that his government had honored him with the appointment of an Envoy to Europe, to inspect the warlike operations of the Prussians and the French. We hope on his return to Japan, he may take Honolulu in his route.

Recent papers and private letters announce the death of General Williams, of Norwich, Ct., at the advanced age of 82 years. Few men in New England of the generation now passing away, have occupied so high a place in the love and esteem of the friends of education, domestic and foreign missions, and public charities, as this gentleman, lie, was truly a Christiiin ycntlonan. In his own neighborhood he was associated with every good and philanthropic enterprise. The interests of the Mohegan Mission, common schools and the Norwich Free Academy occupied his constant thoughts, while he was scrupulously punctual to his duties ss a bank officer and citizen. His sympathies were not narrowed down to his own church or neighborhood, but his thoughts went abroad with missionaries in Asia Minor, China, India, and the islands of the sea. Long will his friends, acquaintances and guests remember his generous hospitality, genial kindness and princely beneficence. Our young College at Punahou is indebted to him for a part of its endowment. The death of such men recall the words of the Revelator John : "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth ; yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Many thanks to the several writers who have communicated their thoughts and reflections for the readers of the Friend. We are glad to have another pen describe scenes in the Old World. The communication respecting Egypt will be read with interest. In conversation a few days since with a gentleman associated with the judiciary of this kingdom, the subject of Chinese testimony came up for discussion. We requested him to pen a few thoughts upon the subject. The importance of this will readily appear, when a person for one moment reflects upon the absurdity of "swearing" a Chinaman believing in Buddism upon the Bible. But how shall it be done? Shall a Christian court administer a heathen oath ? That's the question." " �4 THE FRIEND, JANI! i R I. Is 7I. THE FRIEND. JANUARY 1. IS7I. Loss of the U. S.S. "Saginaw." It is our painful duty to record the loss of the United States steamer Haginaw on the morning of Saturday, October 29th, on Ocean Island, one of the numerous small and barren sand islets which comprise the chain beginning at French Frigate Shoals and extending some twelve to fourteen hundred miles across the oceitn. This island ,is about N. N. W. from Midway Island, being in about 28° 20' N., and 178° 10' W. We are unable to leati the precise circumstances under which the vessel went ashore. She left Midway Island on the 29th of October, and the next morning at two o'clock and forty-five minutes, went ashore on Ocean Island. Very few provisions were saved from the ship, although she did not entirely go to pieces until the morning of the 14th of November, when the after part, which had held together till then, went to pieces. On the 18th of November, Lieutenant Talbot, the executive officer, and four of the crew, namely: Peter Francis, quarter-master, tion of it was spoiled by the salt water nnd was thrown overboard. This misfortune made it necessary lor the ciew to put themselves on still shorter rations, causing great suffering. At the time of (he arrival of the boat off Kauai, there were no provisions lelt except a few spoonsful of a preparation of potatoes, which was mixed with water and eaten by the almost famished crew. Fortunately, the supply of water held out, there being some sixteen gillons left. After the boat capsized in the surf, William Halford clung to the boat lor some time, when he saw James Muir still in the boat (Lieutenant Talbot, Peter Francis and John Andrews having been washed overboard), in n state of stupor. Halford made him fast to the deck, and taking a tin box containing papers and despatches, went on shore, the boat having in the meantime been thrown into shoal water by the surf. Returning to the boat he took the chronometer ashore, and again returning, took his exhausted companion and carried him safely to land, making a bed for him as best he could from the few old clothes he could get from the boat. He then removed everything movable from the boat, having been obliged in doing so, to wade through the surf five times, showing the most heroic fortitude, as our readers will appreciate, when they reflect that he had been exposed for so many days in the boat upon merely enough food to sustain life, besides having boen further exhausted in his efforts to keep hold of the boat during the time she Was in the surf. News arrived in Honolulu of the disaster on Saturday, when steps were immediately taken to send relief to the wrecked people on Ocean Island. The schooner Kona Packet was despatched on Saturday evening with provisions nnd water by the American Minister Resident. On Monday, owing to the uncertain state of the weather, and the probability that the schooner might be it long time in reaching the island. His Excellency requested this Government that the steamer Kilaaea might be despatched on ihe mission. The steamer was promptly placed at his disposal, and the proper quantity of coals for the voyage and provisions having been placed on board, she sailed at half-past five o'clock on Monday evening. It is to be hoped that she will make a quick passage, as the wrecked crew—some ninety in number—were placed at once, after the disaster, on quarter rations, and require aid as soon as it can be rendered then.— Gazette. James Muir, John Andrews, and William Halford, coxswain, all of whom had volunteered for the expediiion, left the island in the ship's gig with the hope of reaching these islands to obtain assistance. The boat experienced very heavy weatner, having been obliged to "heave-to" in three severe gales, and losing all the oars that were on board. After incredible suffering, the crew in the boit sighted Kauai on the 18th of December, having been at sea in a small boat for thirty days, all of them being quite exhausted from long exposure and the hardships suffered during their perilous voyage of over one thousand miles. After sighting the land, the wind shifted to the N. W., with heavy rain squalls, during which the boat was drifted away from the land. With great effort, she was beat up again on the night of the 19th. Unfortunately, in approaching the shore near Hanalei, the boat got into the breakers and was capsized—the crew being so weak and exhausted that they could do but little to direct her course. Lieutenant Talbot and two men were drowned. Halford, the survivor, succeeded in getting one of his comrades on shore, but he was so far gone that he died in a short time. On the same day the bodies of Lieutenant Talbot and one of the seamen washed ashore, and were taken charge of by Mr. Bindt, manager To the published account of the wreck of the Hanalei Plantation. They were buried of the Sayinaw, we would add that all the the next day at Hanalei, together with the laborers and the contractor engaged in clearman who had died on shore.

We learn Halford, sole survivor. a ticulars from the large poring the heavy gales experienced, Visit to Sweden. I enjoyed myself much while at home in Sweden. Found all my relatives well, but many changes had taken place since I was last there. Friends and acquaintances were missing; some had gone to their long homes, others were scattered to different portions of the earth. In manyways Sweden has passed through great changes since my boyhood days. The introductions of railroads has made a marked change in the commercial interests of tne country. Gotheburg is now the largest shipping port, from which to the east coast of England, somewhere about twenty steamers are engaged in the transportation of freight and passengers, all of them between 500 and 1,000 tons burden. Like other parts of the world, steam is taking the place of sails in vessels. There has been much of a change also in the city of Gotheburg. It has been enlarged and remodeled. Several large churches have been erected, and fine public parks laid out. During my stay, water-pipes were being laid down to convey water all over the town. In the past it has been laborious and expensive to obtain water, there being only three places where it could be obtained, from whence it was carried to the different quarters of the city. I took pleasure in viewing the schools, and the new school system. When I was a boy there were but few free schools; now there are over one hundred. When a scholar has learnt all that is taught in a free school, he is ready to enter college, if he desires a higher education. But the greatest change I noticed was in the cause of vital religion. You are aware that the state and church were connected, and no other denomination than the Lutheran tolerated. Now all those old hindrances are gone. While I was in Gotheburg, the Methodists dedicated a fine place of worship. They have a congregation of about two hundred members, and I believe they are increasing. The Baptists have a fine hall, which was built by a person somewhat acquainted with you, whose name is G. Schroder. He was master of a ship sailing out of the States for many years. He married a daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Stewart, who for a long time was pastor of the Baptist Mariner's Church in the city of New York. Capt. Schroder became acquainted with you in Honolulu, while on a voyage from San A. Tingstkom. Francisco to China.

The effect of Chinese customs, social nnd religious, upon the rules which have so long regulated the introduction of testimony in English and American courts of justice, presents a question of peculiar interest, which if we mistake not, will require the serious attention of legislator, as well as moralists. We do not refer to discriminations on account of race, once made by statutes in older countries, whereby certain classes were held incompetent to testily against "pure blooded whites," but merely to the forms of administering the oath to witnesses. The practice of swearing Chinese according to their own idolatrous forms has never been adopted here, but it is not many years since it prevailed elsewhere, if in fact it is yet out of date, and it was held to be the only safe mid legal mode. Every person, it is said, requires the oath to be administered in some form which is binding upon his own conscience; hence, because in China the ceremony is performed of breaking a saucer or cutting off a cock's head, in order that the witness may understand that a like fate awaits him if he testify lalsely, wiseacres in law have concluded that this mockery of religion must be set up in courts of civilized lands. The sure result of introducing such forms is not only to lend, in appearance if not in fact, the sanction of the law to heathen superstitions, but to defeat the object sought. The slightest deviation from their own usages, or the omission of the most trivial thing, may in the Chinese mind, remove all sanction of the proceeding, and allow license greater than would be taken with no attempt whatsoever to adopt these ceremonies. What is the object of administering an oath, and what additional assurance does it give ? Webster defines an oath to be, " A solemn affirmation or declaration, made with an appeal to God for the truth of what is affirmed. The appeal to God in an oath implies that the person imprecates His vengeance, and renounces His favor, if the declaration is false ; or, if the declaration is a promise, the person invokes the vengeance of God if he fails to fulfill it." Let us look at the nature and object of this solemn act. A person invokes God not only to witness his own truth and sincerity, but " to avenge his imposture or violated faiih." The invocation of God to witness, and the imprecation of vengeance on false testimony form the legal oath. The object in the mind of the person who takes the oath is that his own mind may be impressed with the importance of speaking deliberately and cautiously, and to inspire confidence in his truthfulness in the minds of others. The intention of the law which makes an oath a prerequisite to legal evidence is merely to obtain greater security of testimony, or that the promise made will be fulfilled. There are thoie whose word is us good as their bond," who " make no hasty statements of facts, especially matters in affecting their neighbors' interest, reputation or happiness. Their reverence for simple truth may be strengthened by no I). JANUARY, 1871. ouiwurd ceremony ; but neither judge nor citn be presumed to know when they have such persons as witnesses, hence the supposed necessity of this general rule. It is also certain that most men who recognize a Supreme Ruler of the Universe are more guarded in statements made under oath. We believe, however, lhat the correct view is, that the oath is lor the purpose of calling the witness' own thought! especially to the solemnity of his net, and is not merely to cull God to witness the act and to punish false testimony. Of the forms of administering an oath to Christians, kissing the book, usually a copy of the Gospels, or raising the right hand, are mo.-t common. The former custom is traced back, from the imitation of the priests in kitting the missal, to the customs of the Romans. The ancient Romans, Greeks anil Persians swore by the sun, by the gods, and their "genii," or presiding genius. Women swore by Juno, laborers by Ceres, who wns supposed to preside over harvests, Vestals by Vesta, &c. It the middle ages, oaths were taken on the altar, on relics and tombs of saints, and in many forms borrowed from the heathen, as on a beast's or idol's head, on warlike armor, on bracelets, or by the hair, eyes or face of a patron or friend, by laying hold of the hem of the garment or on the sepulchre of a debtor. The Jews swore on a chain fastened to the synagogue door. Roman Catholics in some of the United States were required to kiss the book, a ceremony not usual with New England Protestants. They often objected to this distinction, and it is now removed by act of legislature. This form is regarded as idolatrous by many Scotch Presbyterians. It was at one time, and may yet be, the custom in France to take an oath simply by declaration with uplifted hand, or with hand oo the breast, and by signing. This was held to be sufficient testimony in a Massachusetts case. The following forms have been adopted in courts, and decided by them to be correct, viz: for Jews, by swearing on the Pentateuch ; Mahommedans, on the Koran ; Chinese, by saucer breaking. Statutes give the effect of an oath to solemn affirmations by Quakers, Moravians and Separatists whose consciences will not allow them to take an oath. Now we ask, why should not the Legislature enact a law, that Chinese may testify on simple affirmation to tell the truth, " subject to all the pains nnd penalties of perjury if they testify falsely?" The difficulty must be evident to any person, on reflection, either in administering an oaih according to an idolatrous form, or in administering it in Christian form to a heathen ignorant of its meaning, and perhaps regarding it ns of no binding force on his conscience. We hope to sec the subject duly considered. jury For I he Friend. Who will Go to Heaven? How docs the Bible answer? Turn to Revelation 22:14 and read, "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through tbe gates into the city." Rend also the Saviour's words, Matthew 25:34-40 : " Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : for I was hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink ; I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; naked, and ye clothed me ; I was sick, and ye visited me ; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Verily I gay unto you, Inasmuch as ye hare done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." WHO WILL FAIL OF HEAVEN ? the Let Bible answer. Read I. Corinthians 6:9, 10: "Be not deceived ; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." Ponder also the Saviour's words in Matthew 25:41-46: " Depart from me, ye cursed, into eveilasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels ; for I was hungry, and ye gave me no food ; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not; sick and in prison, and ye visited me not. * Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me." Those will go to heaven who believe in the Lord Jesus; who love him, and who manifest their love in doing good. * Modern Nation mentioned Bible.—ln Ezekiel 38:3 we read, " Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, behold I am against thee, Gog prince of Rosh, Meshek and Tubal." See also Ezekiel 38:2 and 39:1. This rendering is authorized by the Septuagint, the most ancient version of Russians the only in the the Old Testament, where 7iY>.>i is used, the very term used by the Byzantine writers of the tenth century to designate the Russians. It seems altogether probable that the Russians will occupy a much larger space in the world's history than heretofore, and any mention of them, or allusion to them in the Bible,cannot be without interest. Of Meshek, the Moschi, and Tubal, the Tibareni, scarce anything is known. Chas. R. Bishop, Treasurer, In Account Cusrent with the Honolulu Sailors' Home Society. 1870. DR.
