Many are the reasons why American citizens residing on the Hawaiian Islands, should on this occasion, as formerly, observe thisannual day of Thanksgiving.

With muoh force does President Grant speak of the United States Government, as subject to the behests of tho people. The Government is under the people's control and command. Count Dc Gasperin saw this, when he wrote that volume, entitled " The Uprising of a Great People."

America was next called upon to settle with England, tbe affair of the Alabama's depredations. Year after year, the affair remaind unsettled, but during the year now closing, a satisfactory settlement bas been made. For this, if for no other reason, ought Americans, at home and abroad, to render Thanksgiving to God. Englishmen too, have occasion to render Thanksgiving. As all serious questions of dispute between the two countries are now settled, may they long live in harmony with each other, as they should when we reflect upon their common origin, and common language, and common faith ! Never has our country stood higher before the face of the civilized world, than when she received the award of $15,500,000 in gold, from the Geneva Tribunal. Scarcely bad tbe public mind of England, America and the world, acquiesced in and accepted that award, ere it was followed by the decision of the Emperor of Germany, approving of the claim of the United States in the affairs of the Island of San Juan, in the Straits of Juan dc Fuca, and of course debarring all right on tbe part of England to that Island, about which the two countries have been contending during the last quarter of a century. The principles in both cases have been acknowledged, as right, for which America, bad been contending. These are admirable illustrations of the Miltonic sentiment: 11 Peace halh her victories) No less renownM than war." ARBITRATION A OOOD METHOD OF BETTLING NATIONAL DIFFICULTIES. There is no good reason why nations, as well as individuals or private citizens, should not settle their difficulties without resorting to war and blood-shed. It is the expressed opinion of writers in Europe and America, that the amicable settle" ment of the Alabama affair will have a powerful influence to bring about this most desirable result. It is a precedent which will not be forgotten, or its influence lost upon tho world. It appeals to the common sense of mankind. An idea like that inculcated and established by the Geneva Tribunal will do much to batter down and rendor useless forts, and arsenals, and ships of war. Three centuries ago, from Geneva went forth ideas which have agitated and revolutionized tho Christian world. May the idea that nations can settle their difficulties by peaceful arbitration, go forth on a mission equally wide-spread and salutary. " Tbe pen is mightier than the sword." What now is wanted is to create a public sentiment, before which nations must bow. Let this public sentiment find.expression in international law, and the time may come, and we hope it is not far distant, when enlightened nations will no more presume to violate the laws of nations than enlightened individuals would violate " the established law of tbe land. Paul was a good Statesman and lawyer, when he said: Tbe law is good if a man use it lawfully, but the" law is not made for the righteous man, but the lawless and disobedient." If nations are lawless, as private citisens are sometimes, thenby tbe laws of nations or interna tional law, let them be summoned before a Tri bunal, where arbitrators shall assess tbe amount of damages, or otherwise adjust the point in dispute. Ideas are more potent than became partially involved. In accordance with cannon-balls prothe policy of tbe martyred President, America jected by rifled guns. Ideas, more enlightened must deal with only one nation at a time.

Richards and Haalilio, obtained tbe effect, that the Queen of England and the King of tbe French would reciprocally acknowledge the Sandwich Islands as an Independent State, and that neither England or France would ever take possession of any part of these Islands " under the force of a or any other form." This was an important eon cession on tbe part of those Governments when both were sending tbeir fleets into this ocean to take possession of islands and groups of island* in a manner not altogether creditable to great and enlightened nations. I need only allude to the seizure of the Marquesas. Tahiti and Caledonia by tho Frenoh and Now Zealand by the English. 1 need only refer to what Franco threatened to do at those Islands and what England refused to acknowledge as having been done by Lord George Paulet. We ought to be thankful to-day that the Hawaiian Islands unquestionably secured tbeir final independence in good part through tho sharp jealousy of those two great nations. We would honor those nations, so far us tbeir Governments and Rulers merit our commendation, but let it not be forgotten in speaking of Hawaiian Independence, that in our humble opinion, tbe 31st of December would have been fully as appropriate a day for celebrating Hawaiian Independence as the 28th of November, because it was on the 31st of December, 1842, that the President of the United States transmitted to Congress a message fully recognizing this Kingdom as independent. Mr. Tyler was then President, and Daniel Webster Secretary of State. The United States, acting in conformity with this declaration, appointed on the 3rd of March. 1843, George Brown, Esq., Commissioner to tlraae Islands with diplomatic powers, thus America antedates her declaration elevon months prior to that of Great Britain and France. It should also be remembered that thoUnited States Government was the first of the Great Nations to negotiate a treaty with this people. Considering the efforts of American Missionaries and merchants before and since these events to build up and perpetuate this Kingdom, might not every Hawaiian, from the King to his humblest subject, echo the sentiment of Livingstone in tho hear! of Africa,—" 1 can trust Americans, for they are good and generous friends." It is a singular and noteworthy fact recorded in letters bold and uncffaceable on the page of history while two great and monarchical nations of Europe have deposed many of the native Kings and chiefs of Polynesia and undermined their governments, that Americans and their Government, known as Republican and Democratic, have uniformly sustained and upheld the Kingly or Monarchical Government of these Islands. This is a most remarkable anomaly in the history of nations and no one can but say that it is highly creditable to Americans with all their Republican or Democratic principle*, tendencies and prejudices, that they should have unil'orinily aud persistently upheld the Kingly, form of Government on the Hawaiian Islands. Under the circumstances they regarded the old a joint declaration to - form of Government as the best for this people and all those who came hither to cast in their lot among them. It is also a most noteworthy fket that Hawaiians, Americans, and the subjects Ol other nationalities, have all dwelt in peace together under tbe mild reign of the Kainehauiehao There may have been temporary alienaMoha and differences, but no collisions open war and bloodshed during the last seventy years. It is not now my object to enquire fur the causes of this long reign of peace among various races coat together on Hawaiian shores, but the historic fact is most significant and calls for devout Thanksgiving on thin day of American' Thanksgiving and Hawaiian Independence.

Being piously disposed they laid their distresses before God in frequent days of fasting and prayer. Constant meditation on such topics kept their minds gloomy and discontended, and made them disposed even to return to their father-land, with all its persecutions. At length when it was again proposed to appoint a day of fasting and prayer, a plian, common-sense old colonist rose in the meeting, and remarked, that he thought Ihey had brooded long enough over their misfortunes ; and that it seemed high time they should consider some of their mercies. That the colony was growing strong—the fields increasing in harvests— the rivers full of fish, and the woods of game —the air sweet —the climate salubrious— their wives obedient—and their children dutiful. Above all that they possessed, what they came for, fuil civil and religious liberty. And therefore, on the whole, he would amend theirresolution for a Fast, and propose, in its stead, a day of Thanksgiving. His advice was taken, and from that day to this, whatever may have been the disastrous experience of New England, the old stock of the Puritans have ever found enough of good in their cup to warrant them in appointing this great annual festival."—Dr. Wadsworth's Sermons. George Third's Thanksgiving Day. " When our national independence had been triumphantly achieved, the Colonies, of Course, held great general jubilee. And good King George, who had been sadly worsted in the conflict, thinking himself quite as pious as his disloyal subjects—and not to be outdone in goodliness by such rebels against the Divine right—appointed also a day of thanksgiving for the restoration of peace to his long disturbed empire. In the vicinity of the monarch's residence, then Windsor Castle, dwelt a most estimable minister of the Church, who shared his sovereign's intimacy, and conversed with him freely. On this occasion the worthy divine ventured to say : majesty has sent out a proclama" Your tion for a day of thanksgiving. For what are we to give thanks ? Is it because your majesty has lost thirteen of the fairest jewels from your crown ? " " !•, no," replied the monarch, " not for that!" " Well, then, shall we give thanks because so many millions of treasure have been spent in this war, and so many millions added to the public debt ? " No, no," again replied the king, " not " for that!" " Shall we, then, give thanks that so many thousands of our fellow-men have poured out their life-blood in this unhappy and unnatural struggle, between those of the fame race time ; Yes, and here is a reason for thankfulness in all circumstances, since it is never so bad with us as it might be. And even if God be pouring out the vials of his anger, yet blessed be his name ! He never empties them to the utmost."—Dr. Wadswortk's Sermons. An American's Reason for Thanksgiving. " Our forefathers make manifest their thankfulness to God for his mercies ! And shall we be less thankful ? Why, you will keep this festival in homes, and amid luxuries such as old monarchs never dreamed of! Upon your boards will be viands and spicery from all earth's islands and continents. In your wardrobes, the woods of Saxony, the linens of Ireland, the silks of Italy, and the furs of the frozen zones. And crowding your chambers, furniture and bijoutry, wrought of woods from the forests of Ceylon and Domingo ; and of metals from the mines of Potosi and the Ural; and of gems from Brazilian caverns and Indian streams; and of costly stuffs from the looms of Manchester and Lyons ; and of plumes from the groves of Araby the blest; and of the magnificent marbles of Egypt and Italy. And if, in such homes, you cannot be thankful, it mus*t be as the sated Sybarite, pained with his displaced rose-leaf. Meanwhile, in your homes, arc better things than these. Those beloved forms that sit by its board. Those gentle voices, sweeter to your soul than the voices of angels, that make blessed its chambers. Yes, and more. That precious Bible that shines there as a heavenly lamp. That family altar, at whose side there lifts a new ladder, from Bethel to the skies, with its descending seraphim. And then, all those unnumbered social and civil and national and religious beatitudes which surround that mortal tabernacle, as shekinnh-lustres round the tents of the Exodus. All these means jf grace! All these, hopes of glory ! Living here in America—in this nineteenth century—free men—free Christians— so that your lot seems the veritable realization of the golden dreams of the old Hebrew prophets—those gleaming and distant millennial glories, that colored the page of Isaiah, and made lustrous the clouds of the Apocalypse !

Last Sabbath evening we listened witb a great and somewhat startled interest to a very able discourse by the Rev. Mr. Frear, of Fort Street Church, on intemperance. Probably there was not one amongst those who listened to tbat sermon, who did not fully endorse, as a terrible truth, tbe declaration made tbat—"The drinking of intoxicating liquor bad become recognized as one of tho greatest sins wherewith the earth was afflicted;" and yet, if the speaker had confined himself to this general statement and the proofs of its correctness, we have no doubt but that the impression produced would have been no more lasting than former ones have been. We would all have been as willing as ever to deplore the fact that the indulgence in strong drink is the cause of threcfourtns of the misery, destitution, diseases, crimes and deaths that the mortal world bewails, but at the same time many who are not influenced by the teachings of the press might have secretly hugged to themselves tbe comfortable thought that Hawaii nci was without the range of this dread curse, and they therefore needed the pulpit declaration that intemperance is with us a material curse. The particular truth enforced in tbe discourse to which we refer is, tbat the law prohibiting the selling of liquor to the native Hawaiian is not enforced. True, this has been known for some time, and each morning levee at the Police Court but makes the truth plainer ; but never before has it been deemed necessary lo call attention to it from the pulpit. Now, we who profess and call ourselves Christians have it placed fairly and squarely before us whether we shall continue to countenance this laxity in the enforcement of a statute law, or whether we shall make an effort to remedy an evil that grows apace. If we conclude that wo can do nothing, then we may be able to dismiss the subject until we arvxpumruoned before the bar of God. But if, on the contrary, we feel that we must exert ourselves to arrest tbe growth or drunkenness in our midst, the remedy is at hand. Enforce the law ! There is scarcely one amongst our many readers who, if he saw a brute maltreated would not call upon tbo police to arrest the offender, and an adequate punishment would be sure to be administered ; still how often wo see a native reeling through our streets without an effort being made to discover who has reduced him to a level below the brute whotc tyrant we punish ! We jealously guard against the introduction of any law that can possibly infringe upon the rational freedom of tbe Hawaiian, and gaze with dull apathy upon the agency that robs him of his reason! We are stirred to our inmost depths of feeling by a thoughtless act that looks toward tbe doseoration of tho ashes of the dead, and only shrug our shoulders when we see the living fire of tbe soul of the Hawaiian extinguished by strong liquor, the sale of which, to him, we know to be a crime! And why ia this? Can it be because the victim is a native? or must we confess that as tbe bar-rooms could not keep open did they not ell to natives, therefore the law prohibiting such itraffic must be a dead letter/— Semi Weekly Advertiser, Die. 10M. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In Italy, in Austria, in Spain, may we not hope yet to restore once more the pure faith of the primitive church to peoples who have borne so long the corruptions of Catholic power? Two pastors have left their churches in Connecticut and have gone to this European work. They counted it indeed high privilege thus to serve Christ. During the week in which the Board held its session eleven new missionaries started for their respective fields of labor. The music during the meetings was especially noticeable—grandly congregational,and led by a full band and piano. The heartiness ond sympathy of the hundreds of voices could not fail to impress one. The meeting next year is to be held in Minneapolis, quite in the frontier lands. May tho year coming be os full of rich blessing as the year past has been.

Dor- Any one carefully examining these elementary works on the science of astronomy, will be impressed with the wonderful progress which has been made da-ping the last few years. " School astronomies " in use one generation ago, have been entirely cast aside. The last mentioned boos , " Fifteen Weeks' Course in Astronomy," may be obtained at Whitney's book-store, and although intended for a school book, yet its perusal will richly reward the general reader. These other books have their merits, and especially Lockyer's " Elements." This volume is accompanied with a map, entitled, " Spectrum of the Sun, Stars and Nebula?," which exhibits in a very clear and satisfactory manner the effects of experiments upon rays of the sun and stars. The results ol spectral analysis are marvelously grand and wonderful. Astronomers can even tell of what the sun and stars are composed; and furthermore, that those stars hitherto spoken of as fixed," are now mov" ing with astonishing rapidity,—some are approaching our earth and others are retiring at a speed the human mind cannot appreciate. Truly may we exclaim with the Psalmist David, The heavens declare the glory of " God, and the firmament showeth His handiwork." It has always appeared very strange to us that the ancient astronomers could calculate eclipses and note other phenomena without the aid of the telescope. What may we not expect to learn as that instrument shall be still further increased in power! - Good Advice to the Micronesians by Capt. Meade. our we published a letter relast issue In lating to the cruise of the United States ship Narragansett among the Micronesian Islands. If any of our readers inferred from that letter that when a shot was fired at Apaiang, a native was "hit, hurt or killed," they were mistaken. No one was injured, although a certain chief and his people were frightened in a wholesome manner. From letters received from missionaries and other sources, we infer that Capt. Meade managed in a most judicious manner theaffair respecting tho indemnity promised by the Gilbert Islanders to Capt. Truxton for the destruction of the property of the Mission. When about to leave the group, Capt. Meade paid over a certain amount of money which he had collected to Capt. Hallett, of the Morning Star, accompanied by a letter, from which we are permitted to copy a paragraph : "August 10, 1872.—1 question much if there will be any future trouble here. I have talked to the king and chiefs, and have given them some wholesome advice, which backed by the appearance of so large a ship, has I think produced the full moral effect. The purport of my advice is this j These people have cocoanut trees on the Lfjiiml to the number of twenty, perhaps thirty thousand. Each tree can be made to produce annually at least So worth of oil, or cobra, in trade, and with this large sum instead of buying muskets, powder and shot to kill each other, they should purchase clothing, food and books ; teach their children to read and write, keep themselves clean, which the proverb says is next to being godly, and keep the peace between each other j erect school houses and churches, and learn to be useful to themselves and the outside world. That is about the pith of my mission here, and 1 hope it may have its effect." Letter from Rev. J. F. Whitney. Ebon, Marshall Islands, ) October 16, 1874. Brother Damon—Dear Sir :—Thanks for the numbers of the Friend, and I can assure you it was a friend indeed. Owing to the kindness of Mr. Foster, gunner of the NaiTayansett, we were permitted to read the first six numbers for 1872, and then he gave them to us, as he said he had read thenl. Almost the first thing upon which Mr. Snow's eye fell was the article headed, Death of Rev. H. Aea." " Not our Aea," "said Mrs. Snow, who was sitting by.. But the story was soon told, for on reading the article through, there was no doubt left as to who was meant. We had a gathering the , next Sabbath with special reference to the event, snd our church was well filled, and all felt the loss of their friend. * I was going to tell you of the three warhave been riors " who here. Do your readers know that owing to the labors of the missionaries and explorations of the Morning Star, it is perfectly safe for vessels like the United States ship Xarragnmtett, or H. B. M.'s ships Blanche and Barroxa, to visit these islands? Such is the fact,.and we think it worthy of record. We are glad to know of the efficient way in which Captain Meade arranged matters at Apaiang and Tarawa. We think the surveying done by the Narragansett will bring well to light some islands hardly known before. They showed us a drawing of Arno which was made from a running survey, and during the two days they were here with us they were by no means idle. They will furnish an accurate map of this island and give the exact location, as they had splendid weather for work. Perhaps the other vessels did as much in the same line, but we did not know of it. But such a welcome and treat as we had on board H. B. M.'s ship Blanche is worth mention. Captain Simpson made it a visit long to be remembered both by myself and wife. We saw all the machinery and had the various motions pointed out. Then, in honor of one of the high chiefs who was on board, he ordered a big gun to be fired, after * "* * * * * * * 1872. which we partook of such a repast as an Englishman knows how to provide.

Britain Defends Her Missionaries.— The Government of Great Britain has replied to the intimation given by Chinese officials a little time ago of a desire on their part to restrict the liberty of missionaries, especially in respect to their work among the women of China. In his dispatch, Lord Granville distinctly lays down that Her Majesty's Government will not deprive our missionaries of the protection afforded by the treaty. On this subject he says: " Her Majesty's Government cannot allow the claim that the missionaries residing in China must conform to the laws and customs of China to pass unchallenged. It is the duty»l>f a missionary, as of every other British subject, to avoid giving offense as far as possible to the Chinese authorities or people, but he does not forfeit the rights to which he is entitled under the treaty.as a British subject because of his missionary character." The noble Esrl is careful to explain that, although conversion to Christianity on the part of the natives gives no title to British protection against their own laws, yet Her Majesty.'s Government cannot be indifferent to the persecution of Christians for professing the Christian faith; and he reminds the Chinese Government through our minister, that the free exercise of the Christian religion in China is stipulated for by the Bth article of the treaty of June 20, 1853. Rev. E. E. Hale, of Boston, is reported function of a " It isforthesuffering, sick, things lonely, ignorant, unhappy or wicked men and women which must be done, and which no-, body except the church will see to. This is what they are for." Whereupon, with other remarks, somebody comments thus: " Would not brother Hale serve his people better by putting some of the lime and power into preaching that hsvpow squanders in choring? In other words Wit just the thing for a firstrate mind to spend itself in doing fourth-rate work, while scores of fourth-rate minds are actually suffering for something to do?" As the result of some little observation and experience, our notion corresponds to that of Mr. Hale. It takes a first-rate mind to do even fourth-rate work well, and fourth-rate minds usually have nothing to do, and have never found exactly the right thing for thorn." A minister who can "do chores" for his people, does them a benefit far beyond the immediate good. He conciliates, educates and elevates them. He helps theinfbward heaven, while teaching them how to get on The to have said minister to do those : : Pacific.

NOVEMBER 1878. 8, aRM numd urder. My eaT is pained, my soul is sick with every day's report of wrong and outrage with which earth is filled in consequence of the sale and use of intoxicating liquors. Dur Supreme Court has been occupied nearly a week in trying criminal cases, the direct results of spirituous liquors. Ere the community had become quiet in view of the sentence of two murderers, another murder is reported, bat rum-is the foundation. It is most painful to us to report and comment upon murder cases. Ordinarily we fear the report of such trials exerts a baleful influence upon the community, but justice must be meted out to the guilty, and the public interests of society must'be protected. The importation and sale of spirituous liquors on the Sandwich Islands is a terrible curse, and involves a grave responsibility on those who are engaged in the traffic. We have always thought a Boston firm engaged in the Honolulu trade took a wise course when they said they would refrain not only from sending out rum on their own account, but would not take it even on freight! We believe this was right. Others no matter, it should might send out not go in their ships! Some people while acknowledging the evils of the rum traffic, endeavor to shield themselves under the plea, >« if we do not sell, others will." Such a plea is'utterly groundless. The importation and sale of spirituous liquors are evil, and oply evil. We do hope that our police authorities " " rum; {<S>fosm.s,flol.«3k HONOLULU, NOVEMBER 2, 1872.

" Lira and Osioiit or thkTasiiaiiiaks." By James Bonwiok, F. R. S., author of The Last of Curious Faots of Old tbe Tasmanians," and Colonial Days." London : Sampson, Low, Son & Marston. 1870. Daily " " In our last issue we noticed " Curious Facts of Old Colonial Days." The title of this book indicates that the author can write upon a subject lying beyond and outside of topics ordinarily discussed. The contents of this volume afford abundant proofs that Mr. Bonwick has made the natives of Tasmania a profound study. He believes in the idea of Pope, that " the proper study of mankind is man," no matter how low the race to which man may belong has sunk in ignorance, or how far it may have wandered from God. When the bland of Tasmania was discovered, there were found upon it a few thousand natives, who have gradually died off, until now not one remains. In 1824, there 1865, thw last male was away on board of a whale ship. Mr. Bonwick has gone among this wosting people, and from personal observation and the writings of others has B8 *"" ered an amazing amount of valuable and curious information, which will prove vastly interesting to the ethnologist, phrenologist, linguist, theologian, and general reader. "I do not say," remarks our author on page 266, or imply that the Tasmanians were the first people God made; but they may have been so, as far as we moderns perceive. No race presents itself to us of greater relative antiquity. They lived throughout all history. In their Euculypti retreats, they dreamed on as a people while the pyramids were reared, while Chinese struggled for a home in the Flowery Land, while the rudest huts of Nimrod rose by the Euphrates, while the ancestors of Pericles ate their acorn suppers, and alike during the infant weakness and maturer glories of old Rome. But the sweet fern-tree vales of Tasmania echo no more the laughter of the tribes. In ages to come they may be forgotten, and another curious population be recognized as the beginning of theGreatOne's mighty handiwork. But who can tell, amidst that gloomy night of the past, how many shades of nations— forming ethnological depths answering to the successive telescopic depths of the heavens around us—may have glided from the earth." This interesting book is well printed and beautifully bound, as well as profusely illustrated. Although the native aboriginal Tasmanian belonged to a race destitute of a written language, and almost evetything else accounted desirable among civ;,; zed nations, yet his language and manners give indications that he descended from the same original race of Adam. Not only have his manners and customs affinity, with the degraded inhabitants of New Holland, but may also be traced out as having resemblances with some of the native tribes of India and. Africa. To those fond of ethnological study and linguistical research we can recommend, this volume, which evinces a wide range of " reading and profound study. The reading of Bonwick's bookreminds us of the historian Bancroft's concluding remark at the close of his long chapter on the aborigines of America: " The indigenous population of America offers no new obstacle to were 340; in 1834, HI; in 1864, 16; in faith in the unity of the human race."

We were met outside the lagoon by a boat from a German trading schooner, then by another having Messrs. Snow and Whitney in it. Stood in to the lagoon with Mr. Tanner at the mast-head, and anchored about a mile and a half from the village, and were immediately taken possession of by the natives. In the afternoon ihe captain and a number of officers, including the doctor and myself with the camera, went ashore. The people of Ebon are very much in advance of any of the islanders we had yet seen in every way, and wherever we went and whatever we saw, the influence of the missionary was very manifest. The people—men, women and children—are all more or less clothed, indeed some of them were dressed very nicely, and in their trading with us, unlike their brethren of other islands, there was but a very few of them that would trade for tobacco if they could possibly get anything else. We got but very few shells from them, not a single orange cowrie; indeed we have not succeeded in getting one of these rare shells in our entire cruise. We got some pretty specimens of coral, and some very handsome mats. All were very well at the Mission. The Morning Star had not arrived, but was daily expected, so that our files of papers were very acceptable, particularly the file of the Friend that I had saved, and more .particularly the July number. 1 do think that Mr. and Mrs. Snow are just exactly my beau-ideals of what missionaries ought to be—kind, agreeable, so exceedingly sociable, that they cannot fail of success wherever they are stationed. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney I did not see much of, but have heard them spoken of in very flattering terms. We also soon got on very sociable terms with the Germans. I understand that Mr. Snow goes to Kusaie in tho Morning Star. * * * About noon of the 28th we got under way, after spending a very agreeable visit, everybody regretting our inability to stay a few days longer. We got in a splendid sea stock of pigs, chickens, cocoanuts, breadfruit, etc. They were very sorry in not being able to supply us with a still larger stock, but an English frigate, the Barrosa, having recently visited there, they had nearly cleaned them out. We had company aboard in leaving—Messrs. Snow and Whitney, and a number of ibe Germans. One of the latter was at our mast-head assisting our navigator to pilot us out of the lagoon. As soon as we got abreast of the German village, the German flag was hauled down, the American flag hoisted in its place and saluted with six guns ; then the German flag was hoisted and dipped three times in salutation to us. We have bad a very pleasant passage indeed, and instead of being thirty or thirty-five days making this passage as we expected to lie, we are here on our twenty-third day. We are now abreast of Port Stephens' light, and expect a Sydney pilot aboard early in the morning. B" Yours, etc., * Lip" Island, mentioned in Capt.

We have received two letters from our old friend, Mr. John BulTett, whose acquaintance we formed in Honolulu more than a quarter of a century ago. He wss one of the company who returned from Norfolk Island to his old home on Pitcairn's Island. He is now a very old man, having great grandchildren. It is gratifying to learn that the inhabitants of this island still retain their simple Christian character, and amid all the changes through which they have passed, maintain a firm faith in those principles instilled into their minds by the old patriarch, John Adams. We are confident many will read with interest the following letter. We hope if this letter is read by any shipmaster sailing over that part of the Pacific where this island is situated, he will not fail to call, for he may find supplies for his ship, and at the same time confer a great blessing upon the isolated inhabits nts : Pitcairn's Island, May 30, 1872. Rev. Mr. Damon— Dear Sir:—The last letter I wrote to you 1 sent by way of Tahiti by the Russian man-of-war Vitiaz, which called here on the 2d of July last, bound to New Guinea and Japan. The officers came on shore, by whom we were treated very kindly. She was thirty days from Valparaiso, and six from Caster Island. Very few ships call here, so we are very poorly off for clothing, soap, etc. Sometimes our young men make out to board a vessel bound from California to Europe. On the 7th of March last tbe American ship Glory of the Seas, Capt. Knowles, who some years ago lost his ship on Oeno Island, and came here and built a small craft and went to the Marquesas, called here on his way to Europe, and was very kind to us. He sent on shore bread, flour, rice and other articles, but he did not land, as he was in a hurry to be gone. No English man-of-war has culled here since the Reindeer in December, 1869. Thanks to a kind Providence, wo generally enjoy good health. We have been twice visited by influenza since my return here; the first time shortly after the Vitiaz left, and again in March last. All suffered more or less, with the exception of myself and one or two others. There are now on the island seventy-three persons—thirty-three malesand forty females. During the time I have been here there has been twelve births and two deaths—one an infant, the other a dear grandson of mine, Robert Young, aged twenty-two ye.ars, who died of consumption on the 27th of March last. He was a brother of bim who was killed some years sgo at- Santa Cruz while with Bishop Patteson. But amid all our sorrows for his loss we have great consolation in a well grounded hope that he is now with his Saviour. He suffered vary much for about two weeks before bis death, but he bore all with exemplary patience. He told me that when be felt pain he thought upon what bis Saviour suffered, which enabled him better to bear it. A few days before he died (as it hurt him to speak much), he asked for a slate and wrote as follows I brothers and sisters, I warn you not "toDear put off repentance to a dying day. Come to Christ now while you are in good health. When you come to die you will find your thoughts all wandering; it is Satan's work this ; but dear brothers and sisters, put your whole trust in Jesus now, and he will guide you safely through. I have given myself to Him, fully believing that he has done all for me. When I lay down at night I never expect to see daylight. lam always expecting my end." He had only been married seven months, and the following he wrote for his wife : " My dear love, give yourself to Christ now ; look unto Him as your only Saviour; trust in Him and he will never forsake you. 1 will leave you in the hands of those with whom you now are, and may you find in them the same as both you and I have found them since we have been together, true parents and brothers and sisters. Warn all young people against putting off repentance to a dying day, because it is very dangerous." And now, dear sir, I have something to inform you, which I am certain you will be pleased to hear. When the Reindeer called here, as I informed you in my last letter, they brought a selection of books from kind friends in Valparaiso. Among them was a periodical edited by the Rev. William Reid, M. A., called the British Evangelist," from which " the dear departed one found great consolation, also another little book by the same author, the " Blood of Jesus," "God's Way of Peace," by Horatius Bonar, D. D., and several little works by Brownlow North, which have been instrumental, I trust, by the Holy Spirit of causing a revival of religion among us. Many appear to be veryanxious about the salvation of their souls, and I hope have really come to Jesus. I have not for many years seen 60 much anxiety among us, and I trust, reverend sir, that you and other Christian friends at Honolulu will remember us at the Throne of Grace, that the revival may continue and increase, and that we all may become real disciples of a Crucified Redeemer. We have not received any letters from Norfolk Island since I arrived' here, but two whalers touched here in December last—the Cleone, Luce, and Live Oak, Beckermsn. They were at Norfolk Island in 1870, and brought us the sad tidings of the death of many of our relations and friends. I know not if any of my children are among tbe number, but I feel very anxious to receive a letter from them. We have been hoping lo see a man-of-war on her wayfrom Valparaiso to the Islands, or from Honolulu to Valparaiso, as we think it probable we have letters at both places, but so far our hopes have been disappointed. June 4, 1872.—Dear sir, a sail being in sight to the northward, standing in for the land, I hasten to conclude. Wishing, reverend kir, yourself and Mrs. Damon health and happiness, I remain your obdt. servant, John Buffett. �MASTERS OF SHIPS DESIRING TRA~E U _Jb_-.bbTb»Jb. 91 IHE X HI END. NOVEMBER, 1 8 11.

But to forgive,—to suffer wrong of others and yet to forgive them, this is of God. Made in his image which we have defaced and dishonored, man still, in this God-like deed may claim the divine relationship. In the act of forgiveness God and man stand together in a sympathy of tender and loving t&rbearanee. " Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us." So the Master taught us to pray, and in the prayer teacheth vi also how to live, making God's forgiveness the model of our own, even as he made God's character the model for ours, ye therefore perfect even as your Father "inbeheaven also is perfect." Glorious indeed is the life that he hath bid us strive for : not only to repent and be forgiven, hut also to forgive. To us who are marching through life's highway does this encouragement come. To us, who, amid the trials of success and failure, under the burdens of care and suffering and toil, are sorely wronged, are perchance almost crushed to the earth by the unsuspected blow, is it too rrrtrch to forgive T Is it for us, because we have been injured, forever to bear down the repentant offender, whose wrong to himself perhaps is greater than his wrong to us, with the weight of our unforgiveness ? Do not men often thus change places with those who ought to he forgiven ef them t **» " Forgiveness means the restoration of the offender ; anything lets than this is a sham; • and this is why repentance is always rasde its condition j we are no-where commanded to forgive where it does not exist; it would .be impossible. Repentance carries with it an effort at reformation, and this makes forgiveness, the restoration of the wrong doer, possible. Christ teaches further, that a forgiving spirit among men is necessary to their acceptance with God ; that it is utterly hopeless for one to ask the Divine forgiveness while refusing to forgive any wrong committed against him by another. " But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses." With wonderful estimation of the capacity of human nature, the Master requires of men a spirit of forgiveness that shall he inexhaustible ; that shall be enough for all possible demands upon it. It is not surprising that the apostles could only answer to such'a claim, " increase our faith." In His life more than in His words He upheld this surpassing standard of human intercourse, and left to us tbe inheritance and aid of His stainless example. This subject is not one of abstract religious sentiment, but is a matter of practical, everyday importance to every one. Every day brings some test of its worth and of its necessity as a principle of human action. "Forgive as ye would be forgiven." It is a matchless rule of life, and applies with equal fitness to all life's relationships:—to the most sacred ties of kindred and friendship, to the more general intercourse of acquaintances and business competitors, to all circumstances whether of prosperity or of trial, work or recreation, will its practice bring peace and good will. But we forget this, how easily. How many men and women wronged more or less severely, justify themselves in a revengeful spirit toward the offender, which is continually working, and hoping that evil maybefall him. How many, from more insignificant causes, wounded pride, or unintentional and accidental slights to their self esteem, harbor and even cultivate low resentments with only demoralizing results upon themselves and others. It is not difficult to perceive that Christian manhood and womanhood becomes impossible with such indulgence; and on the other hand, that the spirit of forgiveness makes the highest attainment in conrtesy and charity easy and natural. LiaHtTlehrL , ittle. The subject of temperance has gained new interest in our community from the late occurrence of several homicides, in which the chief circumstance was intoxication. The question ofresponsibility, outside of the chief actors, is mooted, and liquor sellers receive their full share of blame, perhaps more than their share. It is easy and comfortable for us all to shift disagreeable burdens upon convenient and prominent scapegoats. The man whqallows himself to becqrjje genteeHy disgUrse*j;foenignantly and witlestly merry upon rare old vintages, sets an example which he is responsible for; and if it is an example which encourages that indulgence which makes iteasy for a man to murder his friend or his wife, he cannot throw off the responsibility entirely on the uninfluerrtial liquor seller who simply performs a mechanical part in the tragedy. Among the new books, we have had the pleasure of resding Mireio, a love poem by Fred. Mistral, translated from the Provencal French. The metrical form of the translation reminds us of Morris' style of versification. The poem is a story, simply and beautifully told, of a courtship between two almost children, in which the wooing was mutual. A few blissful months and then the aristocratic parents of Mireio on learning of the attachment, separate the lovers, and forbid the plebian Vincen to enter the place, which conduct results in the tragic death of Mireio, who is true to the last, leaving poor Vincen at the close of the story rather unsatisfactorily bereaved. (£7* The regular meeting of the Association took place as usual last month. The committee on topics being absent, there was no essay or discussion. Mr. P. C. Jones,the topic committee for November, announced as his subject, Opium, and its use in these islands. During the months of August and September the meetings failed for want of quorums. It is Worthy of thought by those who absent themselves on such occasions, how far they are personally responsible for such failure. It is a matter of much importance that these meetings should be held regularly and be well sustained. After the Association has become so well organized and has gained its undeniably useful position 'in the place, it would be a subject of sincere regret if it should be permitted to become extinct for want of enthusiasm among its members. Minds with Sky-lights.—Oliver Wendell Holmes compares men's minds to houses. ' All fact collectors," he says, " who have no aim beyond their facts, are one-story men. Two-story men compare, reason, generalize, using the labors of the fact collectors as well as^ their own. Three-story men idealize, imagine, predict; their best Illumination comes from above, through the aky-ligj,,. There are minds with large ground floors/ that can store an infinite amount of knowledge. Your great working lawyer has two spacious stories ; his mind is clear, because his mental floors are large, and he has room to arrange his thoughts so that he can get at them. Poets are narrow beIovyl ingapabje of clear statement, and with small power of consecutive reasoning, but full of light, if .sometimes rather bare 0f furniture, in the aWs.'' � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This enterprising firm has recently moved into their new store, which is really one of the most convenient, airy and well arranged buildings in the city. They must have had a large amount of goods stored away in outhouses and cellars which their old store would not allow them to keep on exhibition. If enterprise, advertising, prompt attention to business and pleasant ways ensure success, we are confident this establishment must succeed. In looking through this store, we cannot but express our wonder at the variety o( articles which modern civilization demands, and which the people require for housebuilding and house-keeping. Natives of this group have come to require all the appliances of civilised life. A recent visitor of much shrewdness and observation, remarked in our hearing that nothing surprised hint more in Honolulu than Dillingham & Co.'s hardware store. This store is as complete, if not as extensive, as you would find in the Eastern States or England. See Dillingham & Co.'s advertisements in the Advertiser and Gazette. If you are not satisfied with those and what we have written, just go and see (and buy) for yourselves. New Edition of Jarves' History of the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Whitney deserves much credit for publishing a nice edition of Jarves' History. Although this is not a complete history of this kingdom, yet it is probably the best. At the time when first published—thirty years ago—it did more to bring the Hawaiian Kingdom before the world than any other hook or publication. Previously the world had been indebted to English and American voyagers and missionary journals for information, but this publication placed before the reading public a well written history of an Island Kingdom in the Pacific, which possessed all those elements of stability and good government which fully entitled it to be recognized as one of the great family of civilized nations. The real good which Mr. Jarves did thereby cannot be overestimated ; hence we have always regretted that the Hawaiian Government did not employ him lo prepare a full and complete history, fully illustrated. The late Mr. Wyllie collected materials for this purpose, and' Mr. Jarves consented to undertake the work, but did not receive the encouragement which we think he ought to have done. It may not be-even now too late for such an enterprise to be carried ont. Mr. Jarvis is a vigorous, terse and discriminating writer, and understands the work of sifting the materials which .should be incorporated iv a good history.

Oh .' hushed by ihe tender lesson, My God! let me rest In thee ! —Selected. Albany Bethel Preacher and Young English Nobleman. The following paragraphs appeared in a recent issue of the Albany Argus, New York, one of the most prominent newspapers of that city: Many of our citizens remember the old, square, block-like church, with its angular sides, dusty and faded in appearance, on the railroad track up a few rods north of the Delavan House, called the Albany Bethel, with a glaring sign announcing when services would be held, and that " strangers were cordially invited to attend." The building, its location, interior and surroundings were not more peculiar and eccentric than the pugilistic-looking pastor, the Rev. John Miles—who died a year or two ago near Schenectady. The pastor was a reformed gambler, who had seen all the low lands of infamy and sin and reformed, or, as he quaintly expressed it, "about-ship and stood square up to heaven." He was a man of great natural power, with a feverish burning energy, a harsh grating voice, and a wild startling imagination, handling the most stupendous themes with a reckless familiarity that alternately shocked and fascinated the listener. The subjects of his discourses were always pre-announced through the papers, like the following: " The Eleventh Hour, and Last Train Heavenward ;" " The Storm of Hell begun;" "The World on Fire," and so forth; all of a fearfully sensational character. Many prominent citizens \vou!_ drop in as occasional listeners to these sermons (although they were intended particularlyfor boatmen.) There was a remarkable genius or fire about this rough uncultivated roan. About the year 18— a young English nobleman, wild, reckless, and dissipated, but a man of some talent, paid a visit to Albany and was invited by the late John Van Buren (w hose guest he was) to go down to ihe "Bethel " and hear John Miles on Express Train; Through with"outSalvation's Change." It was a stormy afternoon and few were out. The pastor was in a particularly gloomy mood. Shaking hands all round as was his custom, Prince John thought it would be a good joke to tell the pastor who his distinguished auditors were ; accordingly in a majestic way (which he could assume with such ease as to almost bewilder a common man) be announced that he was John Van Buren, eon of the President, and that his companion was the heir of one of the noblest families in England. With a selfpossession fully equal to Prince John's dignity, the pastor shook them both by the hand *,nrl hoped they would nil met mi the othT SEPTEMBER, shore, beyond all distinctions of earth and time;. then walked into the pulpit, sang a hymn, prayed fervently for them, and commenced bis sermon. With more than wonted vehemence his imagination painted murky pictures of earth " as a great, dingy railroad station, damp, cold, uncomfortable and cheerless, every one waiting for tho train ; trains coming and going at all times, but few getting on ; hardly any one inquiring where the trains go, and a great many taking Owl trains, Wood trains, Construction trains, Emigrant and Way trains, &c, which are less attractive." Then he compared salvation to an " Express through train," without change—and applied it in a wild, startling manner to each hearer. The sermon ended, the pastor rushed down from the pulpit and grasping his two distinguished hearers by the hand, fervently urged them to get aboard Prince John and his " that trainwereat once." both serious, aud leff in a lordship thoughtful mood. And now comes the sequel, not particularly startling or strange, but it exhibits the power not often seen of single thoughts turning the entire destiny of life. A prominent citizen of Albany was traveling in England last summer and spent a Sunday in Manchester. Attending church he was so much pleased by the clear, eloquent sermon of the pastor, that he went forward and thanked him for it,after service. In the conversation that followed the name of Albany was mentioned. Said the pastor "All my religious training and preparation for the ministry date from a sermon I heard there by an eccentric sailor preacher." He then detailed the facts mentioned above, saying very impressively, " 1 think Mr. Van Buren was more seriously affected than I was, and if he could only have heard another sermon from that man, he might have been a preacher, as I am." This clergyman was no other than the nobleman who had thrown away all honors and titles to become a minister of the Gospel. He had probably heard (he most eloquent divines of the age—but not one of them touched his heart like the obscure pastor of the Albany Bethel. : The Great Seal Expedition. »w Los* the South Shetland Isles—Others Depttrtnre nf the Firat Ship from Hon lor I'rr-pnrloK lo Follow. On Thursday there was a sound of mirth and merriment in the quaint town of New London, which, with the exception of New Bedford, is the only important whaling station on the Atlantic coast of the United States. The reason of the festivity in New London was that the taut schooner E. B. Simmons was, within a few hours, to weigh her anchor and start on a sealing expedition to the South Shetland Isles, which are within ten days' sail of Cape Horn. On board of the little craft, which is a quick sailer, were gathered a goodly number of old sea-dogs, who came to drink the Captain's health, and wish him a fortunate voyage and thousands of prospective seal skins. The owner of the vessel, a Mr. Phillips, a furrier of this city, was on board, also Captain Morrison, of No. 109 South street, in this city, who is to engage the officers and crews for several of the ships about to leave for the inlands. In addition there were a large number of the prominent residents of N»w London present. 18.2. At last, amid great enthusiasm, the vessel got under way, and the crowd dispersed. She will call at the Cape Verde Islands and take on board several Portuguese negroes, to attend to the skinning of the seals and the rendering of the blubber. This vessel is the pioneer of some fifteen, others which are bound to the islands, the following being an approximate list of those now completing their equipment: The Francis AUen steamer of 120 tons now in this city; two sailing vessels from Stonington, six from New London, two from New York, sent out by the furriers. In addition to the foregoing, the Falkland Isles Trading Company, a powerful corporation, have expressed their intention of sending out vessels to the Shetland on sealing expeditions. Last year, it may be remembered, four vessels from New London sailed for the New Shetland Isles, and returned last May, each vessel having gained in a nine months' cruise over $60,000 apiece. Their names were the Franklin, Pent, Golden West and Pranris Allen, the latter now being in New York in course of being altered from a sailing ship to a steamer. Great interest is felt in these South Sea scheme by the fur trade in this city, who believe that immense fortunes will be made there by the seal fleet of this year. Furriers here state that the South Shetland sealskins are double as good as those from Alaska, and that they will realize, when dressed and tanned, prices"varying from $40 to $50 a piece. X. Y. Times, July 25th. — Good Templar Lodges in England.— Nearly five hundred Good Templar Lodges have been organized in EnglancTsince February last, and the number is now one thousand. Scotland has eight hundred Lodge* and eighty thousand members of Good Templars. It is not quite four years since tbe Order was planted in Great Britain, and with the same ratio of increase our co-laborers on the other side of the Atlantic will in a few years more outnumber us bere, where the Order has been in existence for many years. The Good Templars of Great Britain have no omnibus clap-trap nttachments to their work, and no dead-weight candidates for President. They go straight for tbe good of the cause, exclusive of political or any other outside consideration. Let the Good Templars of America, who should be first to furnish examples, strive to emulate the zeal and earnestness of their Brothers over tbe way, and success will follow. Let us fight it out on this line, and our labors will not have been vain and fruitless.—American paper.

THEAUGUST 1818. 1, “One Man in his Time Plays many Parts.” So Shakespeare wrote, and so we thought the other evening while listening to Professor Plummer's recitations. Shakespeare fancied man playing seven parts, from his "nurse's arms," until he "shuffled off this mortal coil." First, the " mewling infant," then follows " the whining school-boy," "sighing lover," "bearded soldier," "the justice, with good capon lined," to be succeeded by the man " with spectacles on nose," and finally by '• second childishness," "sans teeth, sans eyes, sans ta«* sans everything." Prof. Plummer out-did all this, in not four score years, but in less than two hours, appearing as David weeping over Absolom ; then, outraging all chronology, standing as Mark Twain and addressing the " sphinx." Ere the audience was aware, up he rises as Mackay, the poet, moralizing "No Sect in Heaven; " then follows the drunken vagabond conversing with his dog, to be succeeded by the " Widow Bedott," " Shamus O'Brien," and various other characters. Fortunately this is a warm climate, for had the Professor frozen stiff in some oie of his characters, his personal identity would have been lost, and herea'ter he might have been known perhaps as thr •' Hard Shell Elder Wadkins." The Professc s delineations of character and imitations were certainly most natural and life-like. The Chaplain has received a letter for John W. Wallan, of thefcrk Arctic. , Poetry in the Hawaiian Language. In noticing the new Hawaiian hymn-book in the June number of the jVHetid, we ventured a few remarks upon the ability of Hawaiians to write in the style of our English lyric poets. In a note from the Rev. Mr. Lyons, of Waimea, Hawaii, who has written so many hymns, we find a few remarks upon this subject confirming what we then wrote. Mr. Lyons writes as follows under date of July 2d: " 1 was not born a poet. If I was, I did not find it out until I began to write Hawaiian poetry. This I commenced in 1834 and 1835,and I have been at it, more or less, ever since. As for native poets and their poetry, 1 make no pretensions to much knowledge upon the subject. There were what were called kahu-meles—poet-bards—away back in old time. Their ancestors came from Asia, and brought with them the Asiatic style of poetical composition. Their poetry was Hebraistic—measured—musical but not rhythmical. I say measured, but not limited to a certain number of syllables in a line. There were no 12s. or lis., Bs. and 4s.,etc., etc. It was not read or repeated as we repeat poetry,.but was always sung with a mournful or joyful tone, prolonged at pleasure, all on the same key, or nearly so, and accompanied with action and gesture. As all, or nearly all, their poetry was drawn from nature —mountains, hillls, streams, valleys, capes, seas, palis, birds, rain, clouds, dew, winds, storms, personal forms—it contains many beautiful strains, but not many ideas. There ars no poets now. The present poets are mere imitators of those of olden times. They know nothing about composing as we do. Metre and rhythm are incomprehensible to a native mind. I have tried to teach some of the most capable to compose with regard to metre and rhythm, but 1 have not succeeded very much. That famous national hymn, God Save the King,' was written by Lunalilo and Alexander, Kamehameha IV. It is the best poetical production which has appeared from a native pen. Natjves write songs to the music in our ' hymn-books. They make the poetry and music jibe some how, but some lines have too many and some too few syllables. If Judge Andrews was alive, he could give you some light upon this subject. Ido not know who can do it now." 57 {GftSmM.M.'-R Small Pox in England.—The Pall Mall Budget reports 30,000 deaths in England during the last year in consequence of the small-pox, including over 1,700 in Londou during this same period. Card.—The Chaplain desires to acknowledge, by the kindness of Capt. Harris, of the St. Marys, the donation of sixty dollars from Admiral Winslow, commanding the U. S. Pacific Squsdron. Forty dollars of this amount will be devoted to the gratuitous distribution of The Fbiend among seamen, and the remainder to the support of the Seamen's Chapel, in Honolulu. Cheap Whisky.—According to the Pall Mall Budget, "a scientific combination of cayenne pepper, vitriol, spirits of wine and bluestone transmutes a gallon of water into a gallon of whisky at the cost of a penny a gallon." The physical effects are stated to be frightful. Delirium tremens produced by ordinary whisky is a joke when compared with this adulterated article. Judging from the effects produced on some of the victims of intemperance in Honolulu, we fancy they must drink this new kind of Irish whisky. Rev. Mr. Booth.—By the steamerfrom San Francisco, .arrived the Rev. Mr. Booth, a Congregational Minister, of England. He has been for some years a settled Pastor at Preston, Lancashire, and has started out for a trip around the world, via America and Australia. His father resides in New Zealand, with whom he expects to spend a year before returning to England. He preached in Fort-Street Church last Sabbath evening. He has interested himself, .not a little, in studying the Alabama question nnd other subjects connected with America, and during the late war often lectured in behalf of the North. It is exceedingly gratifying to meet an Englishman whose broad views are so remarkably free from prejudices which, in too many instances, prevent a man from seeing good in other lands. �58 The rough, noisy and rollicking features of a sailor's life on shore attract the public notice. When the crew of a man-ofwar enjoy a days lißerty, the pedestrian must look out or he will be run over by some ion of Neptune, who knows much better how to steer a ship than guide a horse. Among these.fast-riding and pleasure-seeking sailors there arc always a few of a very different turn of mind. The chaplain is almost certain to become acquainted with men of this classi They will seek him out. Memory recalls many pleasant chats with such men. Sometimes one comes by nigh'l in the spirit of Nicodemus ! Others will come to obtain books, or make inquiries for friends, or send letters. A few days since a man-of-war's man modestly entered our sanctum. He was a stranger, but we soon found that we had thoughts in i-ommon. He spoke of a home amid the rural scenes of England, and of his wanderings in many lands. With books he was familiar, and more he wanted to beguile the long and monotonous life at sea. His soul experienced aspirations after a better life. He knew what Paul meant when he wrote, " For the good that I would I do not; and but the evil that I would not, that I do." This man modestly placed in our hands lor publication the lines entitled "Starlight" which appeared in our June issue. The following is one of the stanzas : The light of star., so mid, as puss, " Oft bring, me dreams ofeach .weet rest, Thill oould wl.h the mortal v-.il Were raised from o'er my longingbreast, And that thus dreaming, t iiiigl\t flee To wake iv their reality." In referring to poets, he remarked that Longfellow and Tennyson were his favorites. Some pages of Longfellow, he added, read like Bible chapters ! We asked him for additional contributions for our columns, and he replied, " I have an unfinished piece. I can only write when the ' spirit moves.' The piece when finished will be in the form of ' Three Pictures,' but only one is written, and when the others will be written I cannot say." We solicited " Picture No. I," and our readers will be interested io its perusal as found in the present issue of tbe JFhiend. Perhaps hereafter the writer may favor us with Pictures " No. 2 " and " No. 3." Cotton Weaver’s Family Country Picnic. 1.-FIRST riCTUSE.

Many of uur Honolulu readers will remember this clergyman, who passsd through our city en route from Melbourne to England. During his brief sojourn, it will be remembered that he delivered a lecture on the Crusades and taking of Jerusalem. From the March number of the " Victorian Independent," published in Melbourne, we learn that this gentleman has safely reached home, via Italy, Palestine and Egypt: Arrival of the Key. W. K. Flbtchss, M. A.—This gentleman safely reached our shores by the Suez mail on the 15th ult., and was welcomed by a large party of friends on his arrival. He pieached in his own church on the following Sabbath, on which occasion a large congregation was assembled to welcome him on again occupying his own pulpit. The reverend gentleman looked remarkably well, and although he apologized for *not being able to preach a regularly prepared sermon, on account of having so recently landed, his congregation were perfectly satisfied with the discourses they heard; and, judging from his appearance, we should say that Mr. Fletcher was much gratified with the reception accorded to him by his people. He Was greeted with great applause on making his appearance in the afternoon of the day in the Sunday-school, on which occasion there must have been at least upwards ol four hundred teachers and scholars gathered together. On Thursday evening, the 22d of February, a thoroughly enthusiastic welcome was given to Mr. Fletcher by the members of his church and congregation, when a crowded tea-meeting was held in the school-room, after which a public meeting took place in the church. Just such a time, amid -uch scenes, there came One Easter Monday, from a neighboring town, A cotton weaver's family, whose name Is unimportant—either Smith or Brown. There were three buys i the youngest one was lame, And thus thedarlii g of bis inother's, heart, Who walked beside him lookingfondly down, As limping on ho brsvely bore his part, While sunny smilesillum'd hi* cheeks so brown.

It was prepared by the Rev. E. W. Clark. We congratulate the Hawaiian people on such permanent addition to the literature of the nation. The missionaries—Clark, Smith, Lyons, Parker, and others who are publishing books in the Hawaiian, are conferring a great blessing upon this nation. Their labors are even of greater importance to this peopte, now that they have partially retired from the pulpit, than when they were exclusively devoted to preaching. �Editor’s Table. .

By the aid of such materials as he was able to glean from history, tradition, language, archaeology and other sources, this writer endeavors to establish the theory that Ancient Arabia was the centre from which the nations of the earth took their departure to Egypt, to India, to Chaldca and to Palestine. He brings forward many very interesting facts to substantiate this idea. Having thus studied the pre-historic ages of the Old World, he now turns his attention to the New World. The book lying before us contains a marvelous amount of information, in a popular lorm, relating to the Continent of America prior lo its discovery by Columbus. After treating of the mound builders of North America, he travels through Mexico and Central America to Chili and Peru in South America. Any one carefully perusing this volume, we think will be deeply impressed with the civilization of the ancient inhabitants of both North and South America many ceaturies before the western continent was known to the civilized world. Our limits will only allow us to copy the writer'sremarks relating to THE GREAT PERUVIAN ROADS. Nothing in Ani'ient Peru was more remarkable thm the public roads. No ancieot people has left traces of works more astonishing than these, so vat' wns tboir extent, and so great the skill and labor required to construct them. One of these roads ran along the mountains through the whole length of the empire, from Quito to Chili. Another, starting from thW al Cuzco, went down to the coast and extended northward to the equator. These ronds were built on beds or "deep under-structures'-' of masonry. The width of the roadways varied from twenty to twenty-five feet, and they wete mude level and smooth by paving, and' in some places by a sort of macadamizing with pulverized tttone mixed with lime and bituminous eminent. This cement was used in all the masonry. On each *"icle of the roadway was •• a very strong wall more than a fathom in thickness." These roads went over marshes, rivers, nnd great chasms of the Sierras, and through rocky precipices and mountain sides. The great road passing along the mountains was a marvelous work. In many places its way was cut through rock for leagues. Great ravines were filled up with solid masonry. Kivers were crossed by means of a curious kind of suspension bridges, and no obstruction was encountered which the builders did not over-come. The builders of our Pacific Railroad, with their superior engineering skill and mechanical appliances, might rea•sonably shrink from the c-o*»t and the difficul- 4 I Gt ST. 18)2. ties of such a work as this. Extending from one degree nortli of Quito to Cuzco.and from Cuzco to Chili, it was quite as long as the two Pacific railroad*.,, nnd its wild route among the mountains was far more difficult, i Sarmiento, describing it, said, " It seems | 10 me that if the Emperor (Charles V.) should see fit to order the construction of another ro-id like that which leads from Quito to Cuzco, or that which from Cuzco goes toward Chili, I certainly think he would not be able to niake it, with all his power." Humboldt examined some of the remains of this road, and described as follows a portion of it seen in a pass of the Andes, between Alansi and Loxa : Our eyes rested continually on superb remains ola paved road of the Incas. The roadway, paved with well-cut, dark, porphyritic stone, was twenty feet wide, and rested on deep foundations. This road was marvelous. None of the Roman roads I have seen in Italy, in the South of France, or in Spain, appeared to me more imposing than this work of the ancient Peruvians." He suw remains of several other shorter roads which were built in the same way, some of them between Loxa and the RiverAmazon. Along these roads at equnl distances were edifices, a kind of caravanseras, built of hewn stone, .for the sccommodation of travelers. These great works were described by every Spanish writer on Peru, and in some accounts of them we find suggestions in regard to their history. They are called roads of the Incas," but they were probably much older than the time of these rulers. The mountain road running toward Quito was much older than the Inca Huayna Capac, to whom it Ims sometimes been attributeu. It is stnted that when he started by this route to invade the Quitus, the road was so bad that " he found great difficulties in the passage." It wns then an old road, much out of repair, and he immediately ordered the necessary reconstructions. Gomara says, " Huayna Capac restored, enlarged and completed these roads, but he did not build them, as some pretend." These great artificial highways were broken up and made useless at the time of the Conquest, and the subsequent barbarous rule of the Spaniards allowed them to go to decay. Now only brokm remains of them exist to show their former character. " " Good Reading in Dull Times. We arc constantly hearing the complaint that the weather is warm and the times are dull. Wp do not dispute either assertion, but instead of uttering unavailing murmurs, we | would suggest the adoption of some pleasant method of recreation. .Suppose, Honolulu [ reader, that you step into Thrum's book-store or newspaper depot, and instead of buying some trashy novel or illustrated paper, you purchase John Forster's Life of Charles Dickens. Take it home with you, and you may be sure that you have in your possession a book worthy of being read, aye, studied. Charles Dickens' life is something to be studied. Reading this book, you will see the process Of birth and growth of such characters as Oliver Twist and Mr. Pickwick. Some things in this book (neatly surprise ist, We 59 are surprised that Mr. Forster shoulcfso ful reveal Mr. Dickens' early struggles in lif While living, he is reported to have bee rather chary about rn/onning the world tha he filled up blacking bottles and pasted on their labels ! Then, too, Mr. Forater lei his readers all about Dickens'father's iinpri onnient for debt. The reading of this book does not leav upon the mind the impression that Dicken character was altogether lovely. His hart experiences in boyhood grated terribly upo his sensitive mind, anil did not tend to dc velop the gentleman of delicate reflucmen and finished culture. We can now sec tha there was a reason for his narrow breadth o views and carping observations, so appare in his " American Notes.' Mr. Forster tells us much, but he has only whetted our appetite to learn much more about this great novelist. Some of our renders may be interested in reading the following extract from one of his letters, written during his first visit to America in 1842: "I said I wouldn't write anything more concerning the American people for two months. Second thoughts are best. I shall not change, and may as well speak out--to you. They are friendly, earnest, hospitable, kind, frank, very often accomplished, far less prejudiced than you would suppose, warmhearted, fervent, and enthusiastic. They are chivalrous in their universal politeness lo women, courteous, obliging, disinterested , and, when they conceive a perfect affection for a man (as I may venture lo say of myself), entirely devoted to him. 1 have received thousands of people of all ranks and grades, and have never once lieen asked ati offensive or unpolite question,—except by Englishmen, who, when they have been 'located' here for some years, are worse than the devil in hi blackest painting. The State is a parent lo its people; lias a parental care nnd watch over all poor children, women luboriug of child, sick persons, and captives. The common men render you assistance in the Ftreets, and would revolt from the offer of a piece of money. The desifc to oblige is universal, and I have never awe traveled in a publir conveyance without making some generous acquaintance whom 1 have been sorry to part from, and who has in many cases come on mil-s, to see us again. But I don't li>.e MV oountry. I would not live here, on any consideration. It goes against the crrairi with me. It would with you. t ilnnk it impossible, utterly impossible, for any Englishman lo live here and be happy. I have a confidence that I must be right, because I have everything, God knows, to lead me to thc opposite conclusion ; and yet I cannot resist coming to this one). As to the causes, the> are too msny to enter upon here." ! Sad Accident.—We are sorry to learn that the Rev. B. W. Parker met with a sad accident hy a fall from bis horse, dislocating hi-* right shoulder and breaking his collar-bone He was previously disabled by the partial faralysis ol his'left hand. �60 IHE FRIEND. \liUli THE FRIEND. AUGUST I, 18TS\ |r root Ssnt-WMklr P. C. Advertiser, July SOlh] Prorogation of the Legislative Assembly Yesterday, at 12 o'clock noon, tbe session or the Legislative Assembly was brought to a close by Royal Commission. A few minutes before tbe bour, tbe Household Troops, the Honolulu Rifles and the Hawaiian Artillery, all under command of Major W. L. Moebanua, marolied into tbe Court House enclosure and formed in line, making a very soldier-like appearance. Meantime tlio Hall ot the Assembly was filled with ladles and gentlemen who bad been admitted to witness the spectacle. On tho right of the Chair was the Nobles, in front the Representatives, and no the left the Foreign Consular Corps, with their families. At 12 precisely, the Royal carriage left the I'alnco, containing Chief Justice Allen, Chancellor of the Kingdom, and His Kxcellencv, P. Nahaolelua, Governor of Maui, who had been appointed by His Majesty as His Royal Commissioners fur tho occasion. The State carriage was escorted by the Hawaiian Cavalry, Major 0. 11. Judd. As the cortege commenced tii move, ii national salute was fired from the Battery on Punch Bowl. On arriving at the Court House, tho Commissioners were met by the Ministers of tho Crown and escorted to tbo Assembly Chamber, when, after prayer by Archdeacon Mason and reading of the Royal Commission by the Secretary of tho Assembly, the following speech from tho Throne was read in Knglish and Hawaiian by tho Royal Commissioners : Nobi.ks AM) Kki-kkskntativkm : 1 congratulate you upon the teuuiiiaiiini of your protracted la- bors, sod hope that you may be permitted to return in safety to your several homes. I snail lake cure that tbe appropriations which you have made on liberal scale for tbe maiute nance ol Kooil government, the promotion ol the health of My people and carrying on the public improvements ot Oar country, shall continue to be expended with the strictest economy and the utmost regard for the public good. By the Constitution of Government and system of Representation in the Hawaiian Kingdom, prominent and influential citizens should consider it their duty to aid the administration of public affairs in tbe Legislative Assembly. In the performance of snob duties, demands are periodically made upon the patience and intelligence ot tbe members. It is to bi hoped that such demands will not be so excessive as lo alarm gentlemen of judgment and experience and prevent them Irom undertaking public duties. I desire to express my high appreciation ot all thoso who at personal sacrifices have given tb.'ir time and services to Legislative duties. Tbe periodical coining together of tbe Legislative Assembly is most benelicial in giving opportunity to compare opinions, to despel prejudices, and to commit tor the public good, even though no considerable changes may be found nocessary In tbe laws. 1 sincerely trust that the few changes which you have thought advisable, may bo found effectual for good. In returning to your constituencies you will be enabled to assure them thai their Government cares iiiireiailtcdly for their welfare, and you will likewise give them the advantage of your experience in public business, and exhort them to a continued love or their couutry and Its institutions. iictAss and li«f>r***tdutiv*s: 1 commend you to Our Heavenly Father, praying •teat He may continue His blessings to you and Our outitry, and vouchsafe to you all prosperity and length "I life. I now declare this Legislative Aw3eu.s-.ly Pro- .. rogued. S T , 1872. A Few Thoughts for the Consideration of Christians. It is the Saviour's declaration, strait is " the gate, and narrow is the way that leadcth unto life, and few there be that find it.'' Has this become wider, since the declaration was made ? Does it require a less earnest effort to enter it, and to walk therein? Has it become wide enough to accommodate those who carry in their hearts the love of the world 7 "If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Is the way that leads to life wide enough to accommodate those who refuse to practice self-denial? If so, it must have Become wider than it was at first. But self-denial is the very condition of discipleship,—the key that opens the strait gate. Said the Saviour, If any one will come after me, let him deny "himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." To what extent is self-denial required ? On this point there is a diversity of opinions. The general principle however may be laid down that we should deny ourselves everything which is injurious to body, mind, or spirit; and everything that would exert a bad influence on others. The mind is to be cultivated and furnished with useful knowledge ; but if idle thoughts, castle-building, the reading of tales and novels, or anything else that is unprofitable, stand in the way of mental culture, then each and all these must be given up. And so must everything be given up that is prejudicial to the higher life. The heart is to be kept with all diligence, as nut of it arc the issues of life. To acquire symmetry of Christian character, all diligence is requisite, as Peter teaches ; adding virtue to faith, and knowledge to virtue, and self-control to knowledge, and patience to self-control, and godliness to patience, and brotherly kindness to godliness, and love to brotherly kindness. (2 Pet. 1:5-7.) These graces are to be cultivated with all diligence, ns they beautify the character, and render the life fruitful of good works. But without selfdenial there will be little diligence in cultivating theso graces ; consequently the life will be like the barren fig tree. (Jod requires fruitfulness. " Herein is the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit." And to glorify God is the chief end of man. Rev.T. Dwight Hunt, formerly of Honolulu, has received a call to the Presbyterian Church in Nunda, New York. Old Paved Road Around Maui.-The Rev. Dr. Baldwin informs us that there are traces of a paved road around the island of Maui. It was constructed long ages ago by a king of the island, named Kahihapilani, who was expecting his sister from the island of Hawaii. Thus reports tradition. If any one versed in ancient lore and tradition can give us definite information-upon the subject, we Khali gladly publish it. Another Martyr of Erromanga—The Rev. J.D. Gordon. BY THE REV. DR. STEEL. Tidings have just arrived that another Martyr has passed away from blood-stained Erromanga. The Rev, James D. Gordon was cruelly murdered there on the 26th of February last. He was requested by a native of the island to visit his children, who were sick. He went at once, as he was always ready to do; but on their arrival at the place they found that the children were dead. The father immediately accused Mr. Gordon of witchcraft, and of thereby causing the death of the children, and he tomahawked him on tho spot. Such was the account given to Capt. Rosengren, of the Lyttona, by a native, when he called at the island on the 9th of May. The tribe to which this narrator belonged buried the body of the missionary, and at once made war upon that to which the murderer belonged. These are all the particulars which have yet come to hand ; but the missionary vessel Dayspring was spoken by the Lyttona at Tanna on the 11th of May, and was then bound for Erromanga. Full investigation would be made by missionaries on board, so that the details of this distressing occurrence may be expected in a short time. This is now the fifth who has met with a violent death in the cause of the Gospel in Erromanga. On the 20th of November, 1838, the Rev. John Williams and Mr. James Harris were massacred there by the natives. The premature death of that great apostle of the Pacific, Mr. Williams, made a profound sensation in England, and awakened a deeper interest than ever in Polynesian missions. Efforts were made again and again to evangelize Erromanga, and often failed. At length the Rev.G. N. Gordon nnd his wife settled there in 1857. It was thought that the way hud been opened for them by the labors'of native teachers; bat alter four yean' residence, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were brutally murdered on the 20th of May, 1861. Australian Pulpit News. — Rev.D. Nimmo.-Just as our paper was going to press, it was our privilege to welcome this Congregational minister and his daughter, on their voyage from Melbourne to England, via San Francisco. On account of the illness of his wile, he left his church in London four years ago and went out to Melbourne, where he has preached with much acceptance, as We learn from the minutes of tbe meeting of tho Congregational Union, and on his departure he was requested to represent that body at the meetings of the Congregational Union of Wales and England. He is expecting to resume his labors in London on his return to England. It is exceedingly pleasant to greet our English ministerial brethren, as they pass to and from between the Australian Colonies and the Mother Country. Ship Ceylon, Capt. Woods, at Boston from Manila, made the passage home in 110 days, bringing a full cargo of hemp and sugur.

Flt I E M). \llil S T , Government Survey of the Pacific. The Government is now planning one of the most important and comprehensive oceanic surveys ever undertaken. Under authority of receut Congressional legislation, the Bureau of Navigation is arranging the details of an expedition whose mission will be to examine and survey the waters of the Pacific and to furnish materials for accurately charting its vast surface and countless islands. In the projected expedition of our Government, the first step will be to survey all that part of the Pacific running from the coasts of Lower California to the northwestern boundaries of the United States, off Alaska and along the Aleutian group of islands, and thence southward to the Sandwich Islands. One of the interesting and important physical phenomena that will be brought under scientific review in this preliminary exploration will be the Sargosso Sea of tbe Pacific, which lies to the westward of the Lower California coast, nnd is almost as distinctly marked as the famous Sargosso crossed by Columbus in his transatlantic voyage. The expedition will also have unequalled opportunity for a full investigation of the great ocean current known as the Kuro Siwo, and which pours its immense volumes of superheated water on the Pacific coasts of America, affording them the bestand most delicious of American climates, tempering alike the heats of summer and the colds of winter. After the more general survey of the North Pacific it is proposed that the expedition shall return to Honolulu, and thence continue its labors over the entire ocean, taking belts of latitude of five degrees at a time and covering the area between the fortieth parallel of north latitude and the fortieth of south latitude. The time likely to be consumed in the whole work will bo necessarily protracted 18. «r ■ Jsly Juth .topped sue hour oft lb. har£7" A friend has sent us a small tract, Auckland.

A Funeral at Sea. ,I , . : , Quite a spirited discussion is going on in England respecting the use of spirit* in the case of fevers and other diseases. "Two hundred and sixty English physician*, emiin their profession, have recently made a public statement that, in their judgment, alcohol is unnecessary in the treatment of any disease, and, in many, positively injurious. One of the most eminent English physicians, Dr. Wilkes, of Guy's Hospital, makes tbe following statement:" " At the present time, there are advocates for a universal method in favor of alcohol in all cases of fever. In my intercourse with medical men, I judge that very many are scarcely alive to the fact that typue fever is very rarely fatal in young persons, and, therefore, that they are too apt to attribute recovery to their remedies. Young persons always do well, if let alone. Of this fact I could now quote a large number of case* in proof; and, on the contrary, the few instances which I have seen end fatally have been those in which a large amount of stimulants was given from the commencement of the disease ; and what, -perhaps, is even more to the point, the withdrawal of stimulus, in some ciseB where it was adopted as the method of treotment, has been attended with tbe most decided advantage. The only two case* which I have seen fatal, of late, have been those of two students to whom a large amount of stimulus was given, and who had the care of the most assiduous nurses, night and day." This discussion his been occasioned by the treatment pursued during the illness.of the Prince of Wales. The Massachusetts Spy, from which we copy the above, bases it* remarks upon the London Lancet, and concludes with this remark: "The London papers mention special honors to be awarded to the physicians of the Prince of Wales ; but, if the facts are correctly stated, the award of such honors should be decreed only to the physician who rescued him from being killed by the brandy treatment." nent Cause for Thanksgiving.—That terrible scourge the small-pox, appeals to have disappeared. No new cases are reported, and several cases of attack are reported as convalescent, and discharged from the hospital. No cases are reported from the other islands, and inter-island travel is resumed. Remembering the terrible and melancholy scenes of 1853, when the yellow" flag waved upon every native house from the sea to the moantains, it is with devout thanksgiving that we make the above announcement. Much credit is due the Board of Health for their efficient action, and also to our private physician* for their activity and success in vaccination. It is quite remarkable in how many cams vac. cination has taken, when the subject had been previously vaccinated once, twice and even thrice. This fact should operate a* a suggestion that there should be a frequent vaccination of the same person. �lUii; KKIENV, 63 1872. AUUUST, MASTERS OF SHIPS DESIRING TRADE APV»BTISBMH.«fTa. s.

Be virtuous and you will be happy," is as "logical as ever, but the adage has been degraded to the rank of a cant truism, because of the lofty indolence of its principle, and the isolated and unsyropathising nature of its ex-. pression. It is as little significant of christian enthusiasm, as the words " depart in peace, be warmed and filled," rung out with sugar-coated smiles upon the hungry wayfarer, are significant of large-hearted generosity. Spiritual and material charity are nearly allied, are out-goings from the same warm heart,—a heart that, in either case, while looking forward to the grand end, never forgets to provide, as far as possible, the means of attaining it. Man is a unity, and the heart is not the sole field of the moral warfare; the mind and the body also share in the responsibility of success or defeat. Christianity is the consecration of the symmetrical whole, of the unity, and its natural outward expression is enthusiasm for the happiness of man, by making it possible for them to become happy, possible for them to be virtuous, to be wise, to be warmed and filled,—the conditions.

On returning to England, he spent several years In preparing bis great work on Polynesia for the press, and most, tenderly watching tbe companion of his labors ss she gradulty declined to tbe grave. Mrs. Ellis died after m tny years of suffering, in 1884. From tbe testimony of tome now living who were acquainted with this lady, and her memoir, published in Eng land and America, it would appear that she possessed many cbarmiug trails ol character and piety, which peculiarly endeared lier to all who enjoyed her ncqnainlancc and society. From 183H to 1840, Mr. Elite acted a> the Foreign Secretary of the London Mlaalonary Society. He subsequently wrote and published a volume) embracing the history ol that Society from ila origin at the eloeu ol the 18th century down to 1825. It is a nuihl interesting volume of nearly OUO pages, anil foi years the friends ol Miasiona bave been looking for additional volutnea to complete lbs Malory rf tlnit noble Society, but it is understood that b» pressing dalles and other literary labois preventcl his prosecuting thin undertaking.

In 1887, Mr. Ellis was again united in marriage, with Miss Sarah Stickney, so favorably and universally known as tbe authoress of "Tbe Women of England," " Tbe Daughters of England," and various other publications. This was a marriage peculiarly happy. Their literary tastes were similar, ss well ss tbiir religious sympathies and missionary aspirations.

There,most unexpectedly, we met tbe Rev. Messrs. Gill, Buxiscott, and Williams, all asaoclated with missions In tbe Pacific. Mr. Ellis Was now approaching a period of life when most met of bis tastes, having seen much of foreign lands and good society, would feel justified in relaxing from tbe stern pressure of professional labor, and enjoying daring tbe remainder of life, what Cicero would term, otium cum dlynilale." He was now nearly three"score, but It would appear that former studies, labors and experience only fitted him for the arduous and laborious work be was about to undertake. Prrserntlen In Madagascar. Tbe history of tbe establishment of Christianity In tbe Island of Madagascar, and subsequent persecutions, when many native Christians of that Island wero enrolled In "tbe noble army of Martyrs," are too well known for me to make more thau a passing allusion to tbem. Tbe London Missionary Society made arrangements for tbe establishment of a Mission on that Island as early as 1814. For about twenty years that Mission bad prospered with various success. Tbe language was reduced to a written form, books were published, and a small church, or churches wore gathered. When the good work was fairly commenced, and a bright prospect wis opening, then arose a Queen who "knew not Joseph:" bat one who brongbt all tbe resources of her despotic power and resolute will to cgush out tbe feeble beginnings of tbe Mission. Missionaries were forbidden to preach, and, if not banished, wero made to feel that their presence was exceedingly offensive to Royalty. Under these circumstances they withdrew to await results, but tbe iron beel of oppression pressed heavily upon the native couverts. Tbe death penalty was decreed for any who professed to be followers of Him who was crucified under Pontius Pilate. Every book teaching the principles of the new faith, and every Bible was supposed to be destroyed. These royal edicts were not mere formal decrees, but stern realities, enforced by a brutal soldiery and fawning sycophants, who aimed to Ingratiate themselves Into roysl favor by arresting those suspected of having Imbibed the spirit of Jesus of Nazareth. The full record of Madagascar persecutions cau never be known, any more than the lull records of tbe Inquisition will be revealed In this world, but enough Is known to Insure the Queen name and a place among the old persecuting Roman Emperors, and those of subsequent times, who have mado the futile attempt to blot the name of Christianity from tbe earth, If they eonld accomplish their fell purpose by Imprisoning snd putting to death, by tbe most cruel tortures, those professing to be Christ's followers. Mr. Ellis' Three Visit* t* Madagascar. This was the state of affairs In that beautifu Island when, In 1858, the Directors of the London Missionary Society determined to send forth an' agent who should endeavor to visit the interior of the Island, aud ascertain the state of affairs. Their thoughts turned to the retired literary Missionary of Rom Hill, Hoddesdon. I can not detain you with a detail of the preparations for bis departure on this rather banrdons enterprise, and of his voyage tbitber. But II any one desires to read those details, be has only to peruse Ellis' Three Visits to Madagascar," one of the most charming and entertaining narratives of scientific and missionary touring and voyaging of modern times. He proceeds to the Cape of Oood Hope and from tbence to Mauritius, from whence he embarks for Madagsscar. After visiting the Island be returns to Mauritius, and after remaining > few months, returns to Madagascar on bia second visit. After exploring the Island somewhat extensively, be visits the Cspe of Oood Hope. After remaining a short time, be reInrnssgnln to Madagascar, en his third visit.

He fathered abundant Information to convince blm that there were many believing in Christianity wbo worshipped God in secret, in the caves and mountain recesses, and lb prisons. While the Queen treated him formally with much kindness, yet she still maintained her unconquerable aversion to the preaching ot the Gospel among her subjects. He was required to conduct bis Investigations and observations with the greatest prudence and caution. He remarks, near the end of tbe narration of his "Three Visits:" "In reference to the religion of tbe present, reasons, which are obvious, require silence. Tbe lews against the Christian religion are not repealed. I repeatedly passed the places where martyrs suffered—spots that will be consecrated by tbe most hallowed and affectionate associations In the minds ol the Malagasy throughout future ages. I met and conversed witb tho widowed survivors and tbeir orphan children, as well as those who witnessed the steadfastness of their faith, and tbe quiet triumph of their death ; and from tbeir testimony have derived more than confirmation of all that we bad previously heard. Tbe authorities in Madagascsr, wbo sought by torture snd death to extinguish the Christian faith, by whatever motives tbey may have been actuated, only Imitated tbe Dlocletians of early ages, and tbe Alvas, the Medicis, and the Marys of more recent times, and with corresponding results In tbe invincible constancy of those wbo fell, and tbe subsequent fruits of tbe Imperishable seed wblcb was scattered in the martyrs' blood." Interview with Wrecked Hawaiian Sailor. With a sad heart Mr. Ellis again left the Island, but on this occasion to return to England, and report to the Directors of the Society and the friends ot missions, that the door of access was not yet open to the Malsgssy people. He embarked from Mauritius lor England on the IStb of January, 1857. The steamer In which be took passage was commanded by Capt. Duudas, who has since visited Honolulu, and from whom I obtained a restatement of certain interesting facts relating to a native Sandwich Islander, found on a wreck at sea. Eight days after their departure, in the Indian Ocean, tbey fell In with the wreck of the American whaleship Henry Crappo. On the wreck only two survivors were fouud—the Captain and one Sandwich Islander. They were nearly exhausted. Mr. Ellis addressed the Dative iu his own languago, but received no reply. He then repeated two lines of a hymn which ho had written many years before in the Hawaiian language, commencing, * Akua, hemolole, "HeHeAkua no kakoa." ''Oh, how holy, divine, The God we adore." The man's countenance brightened, and when Mr. Ellis ceased speaking, ho took up the strain, repeating the remaining lines of the verse " Msikai wale, hewa olo, : " Pono loa, ola man," •*Bo pure and eacred, Everlasting and righteous," He alao added the remaining versos of the bynin." with evldeot satisfaction." Iu view of this most singular and unexpected Incident, Mr. Ellis remarks: "More than thirty years bad paased away since I left those Islands, and It was art unexpected satisfaction to my mind to And that the Cbrlatlan sentiments embodied In a simple hymn " had afforded consolation- and aupport to the mind of native of those Islands in the lonely solitude of a distant ocean, amid the perils of shipwreck, and the prospect of death."

I will now return to tbe narrative of Mr. Ellis' life. After returning to England, he was occupied In tbe publication of his journal, and other llteraey pursuits. At the end of four years, or dortng tbe Autumn of 1801, tbe news reached England that Ranavalo, tbe Queen of Madagascar, was dead, and that ber son bsd succeeded to the throne. Knowing tbe stale of things in tbe Island, Mr. Ellis immediately embarked for another visit, and ere tbe year closed, on December 27ih, be landed at Mauritius, ready to embrace the veryearliest opportunity to proceed to Madagascar. He did not, however, reach tbe Island until tbe 25th of May, but then he was most cordially welcomed. The Queen's son, under the name of Radama 11, sent messengers to assure him of a safe journey to tbe Capital. Native Christians csme off In tne boat to welcome The results of his fouth visit to that Island him. are embodied In a volume published by Mr. Ellis In 1867, and entitled, " Madagascar Revisited." Tbls volume is dedicated, by special permission to tbe Queeu of Englsnd. The attention of tbe friends of Missions io England was now fully aroused to tbe importance of making another vigorous attempt to re-establish tbe Christian religion on that Island. Old and surviving Missionsrles returned; new Missionaries were sent out; schools were established; churches were built; and tbe missionary work waa vigorously prosecuted under tbo auspices of the London Missionary Society. At every step, Mr. Ellis was consulted, and he became not s mere Idle spectator, although three-score snd ten, bat he enters upon tbe work with sll tbe zeal, vigor and enthusiasm wblcb characterized bis youth, when lauding on tbe shores o( Tahiti, a half century earlier. Return t* England. After returning to England from bis last visit to tbst Island, so eager snd earnest was be to carry through the press an edition of tbe Bible in the Malagasy language, that be shut himself off for weeks " from general intercourse In a room at the Mission House io Loudon, and there tolled on." Tbe writer making tbls statement adds: "He was, Indeed, a mighty worker. He never seemed to tire, nor, indeed to grow old, returning from bis travels to Madagascar looking as fresb snd yonngss ever. It wss impossible to realize that a man who looked as ruddy and walked as nimbly as be did, wss Indeed aged." This is iust tbe impression left upon my mind after paying a visit to bis residence at Hoddesdon. At tbe time of my visit, both Mr. snd Mrs. Ellis wero engaged In literary pursuits. She bad justcompleted writing the last sheets ola work entitled, "Education of the Heart," while he wss reading the proof sheets of bis Isst book, "Tho Martyr Church of Madagascar." Very pleasant. Indeed, was it to witness this missionsry sutbor, and his companion, thua engaged, and most fully sympathizing with each other in literary and philanthropic labors. We have met with tbe following Interesting statement In a recent English paper, that wbeu a year or two ago, the bouse and beautiful garden which they bad rented for so many years, was put up at aut-t ion, and it became known that tbe occupants were desirons of becoming the purchasers, the neighbors sll resolved that tbey would abstain from bidding sgalnst tbem.

One day is devoted to a Sabbath-school gathering of all the native and foreign children. It is accompanied by a procession.

They are all quite numerously attended, and so far me we may judge, try appreciative aadienc'es. We have not al- integrity, than the ticket sent forth by the Cincinnati Convention. Grant is well known, and for four years his administration has been an honor to the country. M ost heartily can we approve of Senator Wilson for Vice President, It was our privilege to have known him long ere his name became famous, and from our personal knowledge we believe he would make one of the best of public officials—honest, truthful, loyal. He is one of the people, and most nobly ha* he proved himself the friend of the people and the country.

Amherst College was refused by the Legislature of Massachusetts, the 100,000 applied for, but we rejoice to learn that Mr. Samuel A.

On the 18th of April, his vessel was wrecked in east longitude 159 ° 10, and 29 ° 30 south latitude, on Middleton Shoal. No lives were lost, but the vessel a total wreck. The officers and crew were five days in boats, and were picked up by the schooner Commerce, and taken to Clarence Head, New Holland. From thence they proceeded to Sydney. Capt. Stoddard is accompanied by his wife. Their lot appears rather hard, after the Captain had made twenty-six voyages to China, and on seven having been accompanied by his wife. At the time of the wreck, he was bound from San Francisco to Newcastle, N. S. Wales, for coal. Death of the Mother of Judge Hartwell.—Our island readers will recall the notice of the death of the father of Judge Hartwell, as published in the April issue of our paper. By the last mail, the melancholy intelligence has been received that his mother too has passed away to the "better land," but we are happy to add, that her son was by her bedside when she was summoned. It was our privilege to become acquainted with this excellent lady, during a visit to Natick, Mass., during the summer of 1869. She was one of those refined, noble and Christian mothers of New England, whose worth is " above rubies." She died on the 11th ultimo. The Good Templars.-Weare glad to learn thatthis useful and efficient temperance organization designs to furnish tbe public with a series of addresses. Tbe first was delivered by H. L. Sheldon, Esq., at the Bethel, it was numerously attended by the members of that Order and others. The address was exceedingly appropriate and well received.

We bad been intractable indeed had not these influences wrought in our sours some strength and elevation of spiritual life, whereby to cope with and control those lower and baser tendencies which all inherit, and to which peculiar power is lent by life among sensual races and in relaxing climates'. There was also a careful and judicious moral training. We were restrained and chastened betimes. Our parents were no believers in the let-alone system. We were warned from evil, stimulated and guided to good. We were wonted to homely domestic labors and ministrations, taught to work for ourselves and to serve others. Our parents, while toiling for the salvation of the Hawaiian people, were profoundly solicitous for the right training of their own children, which was a prominent topic of consultation at their annual gatherings. A conspicuous influence of much value, has been a peculiar care for intellectual culture. An essential conserving influence of an unusual nature was the generally adopted system of strict seclusion in childhood from intercourse with the native people. You well know, how strict and vigilant this tabu has been, and how for the most part, as parents, we adhere to the same tradition. None know, or could conceive, without .personal observation, the nameless taint that pervades the whole garrulous talk and gregarious life of all heathen people, and above which our poor Hawaiian friends have not yet generally risen. Our parents wisely heeding the early and earnest warnings given by Messrs. Tyerman and Bennet of the English Deputation, adopted from the outset the policy of seclusion, whereby we spent our childish years even in ignorance of the Hawaiian language, and in an absoluteness of innocence unparalleled elsewhere in the world. No careful observer can doubt that a direct cause and one of the strongest ones of the early degeneracy of the families of European colonists in tropical climates, has been the unrestrained association of the children with negro and native servants, whose fil'thiness, lying, superstition, and animal aims, became ingrained into their infant natures. From the taint of this leprosy we, as a class, have been happily exempted. The perils were great which endangered the youth of the missionary colony. That these perils "were surmounted, was due, as we have seen, chiefly to vigilant parental Watch and care, and to high spiritual culture. Our revered parents, so many of whom survive to witness the prosperity of their children, may rejoice therein, not only as an individual honor and blessing, but chiefly as promising to ensure the ultimate completion and success of tbe enterprise to which their lives have been devoted. The lifting up of the Hawaiian race, and establishing them on a solid foundation of Christian civilization, yet lacks completeness. Beyond all other defects, the native people are wanting in the vital element ofthe established family, with its parental watch and responsibility. The beauty of the guarded garden of childhood, of the household's sheltered fold, of the mother's nurturing cafe, is the wanting fsature of Hawaiian life. Hence the fatal blight still rests on the people, and it wastes away.

Edited by a member of the Y.M.C.A. ■ — FaiHrsoRewCuhotalrcEexcftrnal ircumstances! This question seems to belong, to a certain extent, to the field of Theology and Moral Philosophy. We all believe, very absolutely, that no one is responsible for what he cannot help. The only trouble in our minds on this point is the difficulty in definitely ascertaining what a human being can or cannot help. It is a favorite subject with many moral teachers, that men can or ought to be, to a certain extent, independent of circumstances; that they ought to control them and not be controlled by them. There is no doubt but that such a theory of life contains a large measure of truth. Strong and matured men and women should control many of their circumstances, and make them servants in fulfilling the great ends of existence. The real success of this or that life is measured by the success in this achievement. But this supposes men and women with moral characters formed and developed : rather a small part of humanity would this include. A very large proportion of the race at any one time of course are children. Their circumstances are made for them by others. The influences which surround them are selected by others. They hove neither the knowledge nor the freedom to settle these matters for themselves : they are the moral wards of the grown-up world. And yet childhood is, more than any other time of life, the period in which character is formed and fixed. A large part of the balance of the race are, without any fault of their own, in the aame position as children, as regards that knowledge, judgment and independence which give the ability of controlling circumstances.—Savages ; —the ignorant and oppressed of heathen countries, even the ignorant and toil-worn of Christian countries, so called ; —those of all the world to whom the clear light of moral teaching has been unattainable. We see, therefore, that the great majority of the race have neither the power, the freedom, nor the experience to enable them to mold circumstances favorably for their highest development, even if they had the conscientious convictions. Tha importance of this truth, in reference to our subject to-night, is very great. The great question of human responsibility is affected by it. If each person should be fortified with a symmetrical and complete moral character on coming into tbe world, the individual res- wrong or extreme. Perhaps we thus judge ponsibility would begin at birth, and would of our fellow men harshly and unjustly, and assume a magnitude and weight that is over- by standards that we have no right to usa id powering to think of.

Noble Struggle.—Among the ancient Grecian artists and their Roman imitators, the statute of Laocoon and his sons, struggling to disenthrall themselves from the folds of two enormous serpents, was accounted the noblest work of Art, and it has been admired ever since. It now stands in the Museum of the Vatican, no less admired in the nineteenth century, than in tbe days of Flinv, who describes it as adorning the baths of the Roman Emperor Titus. But have we not nobler exhibitions of strength in every day life. A few days since called and desired to sign a pledge of total abstinence. The man was well educated, he looked forth upon nature with the eye of an artist, and could wield the brush of a painter. He. had noble aspirations. Not only would he escspe from the coiling serpent of intemperance, but from sin itself. Sin is a monster serpent, whose sting is desth. From its folds he would escape. In comtemplating struggles of this nature, our Saviour says Angels rejoice, " Likewise joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth." Not only do angels rejoice in view of such a struggle, but the Saviour of mankind comes down to assist the victim of sin to cast aside the encircling and crushing folds of the serpents of sinful indulgence. To one and all, who are thus struggling we would say, " struggle on, and relying upon Divine aid, you will overcome your bitterest foes and most deadly enemies. Beware of temptation. Say to the tempter, " get thee behind me." Here a Little, There a Little.

Hawaiian Consulate, 4 Royal Exchange Buildings, To the Editor London. E. C, 17th May, 1872. ) \) of the Friend: Sib, —Personally known to you, and long an appreciator of the good-end arduons work yea neve done and are doing in Hawaii, allow me to address a few words to you in answer to comments in your paper, on a passage in the Dean of Rochester's sermon at the consecration of Bishop Willis, Not only I, but Mr. Waterhouse, jr., and some other friends who were present and heard that address, are surprised and grieved at the impression produced by the newspaper report, as we did not, for one moment, understand the expressions referred to as applying to Hawaiians, though they were very applica- ble to the Islands of Fiji and Santa Cruz. The hurry in which our newspaper reports are often necessarily prepared;—in this case the John Bull had to be in print the next morning,—gives little time for corrections to be made by those who could inform the reporter or the editor. And, also, allow me to point out a sad want of candor, one of those defects which tend to increase and not allay religious disagreements among Christians really zealous to promote the cause of their Master. Whoever was responsible, in the first' instance, for quoting all the poragrapti in the " John Bull " except its last clause, must have known well that by inserting that la»t passage, he could have cleared up, or prevented, the wrong impression conveyed by the Words quoted ; and which wrong he was so ready to propagate and intensify. I have referred to the journal, and copy verbatim the words so omitted : " It is, however, necessary, in the cause of sober truth, to mention that in Polynesia, and among the gentle natives of Hawaii, and the rather over-civilized city of Honolulu, no danger to life or freedom has in the present case to be apprehended. The oppositions, the difficulties, are, rather, of the moral and intellectual order that have to be encountered: and he who takes the oversight ' of that far flock dispersed,' must carry with him firmnets ana consistency as well as gentleness and devotion. Many prayers will accompany Bishop Willis when he leaves our shores, to tend the farthest tendrils of ' the vine that stretches her branches unto the sea, and her boughs unto the river.'" The expected arrival of an English Bishop is perhaps the true cause of the displeasure; yet his coming may not interfere with peace ; abundance of which is promised to them 'who make peace.' May you, sir, be among that number. Yours, very faithfully, Manlby Hopkins. P. S. Since writing the above, I learn that Dr. Scott (the Dean) is hurt that words he uttered have been so misconstrued. spoke of Melanesia. He — EniToaiAL Rbmabks. We insert with much pleasure the above letter, and would remark, that we intended in the present issue ofour papei, to have alluded to the disclaimer recently published in the Advertiser, over the signature ef the Dean of Rochester. We cannot acknowledge any intention of wrong on our part or that of the good people of Honolulu, in drawing the inference we did, from the report of the Dean's sermon as printed in the London John Bull. The amends honorable to the Dean ought to be made by the reporter of that paper, and not by anybody in this part of the world. To have placed the matter exactly right, we should have been glad to have seen in print the precise phraseology employed by the Dean upon the occasion. Mr. Hopkins will pardon us for alluding to the gentle insinuation in the closing paragraph of his letter, that " the true cause of the displeasure" was " the expected arrival of an English Bishop." We should not presume to speak for the members of the English Church, but, for outsiders, nothing could be more remote from the truth. From such reports as have reached us, we can surely welcome Bishop Willis to this part of the world, hoping indeed, with Mr. Hopkins, that his coming may not interfere with " peace, abundance of which is promised to them which make peace." We would merely add, that our comments upon the Dean's supposed remarks were surely not more severe than those in the April number of the St. Andrew's Magazine —" The only extenuating circumstance of Dr. Scott's remark rests upon the supposition that he did not know anything about the Sandwich Islands and their inhabitants: and his mind being inflamed with accounts of tbe murder of Bishop Patteson, pictured Santa Cruz for Honolulu." Whether Dr. Scott, the Dean of Rochester, may or may not be acquainted with our population, we are glad to know that his " Greek-English Dictionary" is not an unknown and unconsulted book in this part of the world, and in our schools. A copy we notice on the shelves of Whitney's bookstore. Slave Trade in the South Seas. We copy the following spirited remarks from the Australasian of February 24th, a large weekly published in Melbourne : Fresh light has been thrown upon the circumstances preceding the massacre of Bishop Patteson and his companions, by the correspondence which has appeared in the English papers on the subject. It was generally believed at the time that the Santa Cruz group had been visited by a slaver or slavers painted to resemble the missionary schooner; and this belief has been strengthened, if not confirmed, by a letter published in the Tims*, the writer of which says: " I know of one of Queensland vessel that went to a group ialands frequently visited by the bishop, where the captain and crew got out a fiddle and flute and several large books; one of their number threw a white sheet over his shoulders, and they began to sing. When tbe natives, thus thrown off' their guard, came crowding on board, the crew rushed on them, hustled as many as they could below the hatches, and departed. I wish 1 could say that this was all the harm done ; but I regret to say that before the cruise of that vessel was completed, many a poor native met his death after a gallantresistance against the superior weapons of the white man. No natives being taken to Queensland who betrayed the slightest knowledge of English, these poor savages were all passed by the immigration officer as Polynesian laborers." Not only is this traffic in human beings carried on by persons connected with Queensland, but also by traders from Tahiti and Fiji; and the inhabitants of these colonies ought to make common cause with the Im- perial Government tVi stamping out these hideous practices. No measures could be too stringent for that purpose ; and we are glad to perceive that in the next session of the Imperial Parliament a bill is to be introduced by the Earl of Kimberley which will attach the crime and the penalty of felony to all act* of kidnapping. This is as it should be. No greater curse could be inflicted upon tbe people of Australia, no deeper stain affixed upon their character, than such as would result from the toleration under any pretense —however speciously disguised—of a system of slavery and slave-trading. The institution is doubly accursed. It demoralizes the employers of servile labor, and it subjects the miserable victims to one of the cruelest wrongs which human beings can inflict upon each other. It were better that every cotton field and sugar plantation in Queensland, Fiji, or Tahiti, should be abandoned to desolation, than that they should be cultivated by laborers kidnapped for the purpose from the Polynesian islands, and held in a condition of bondage which differs from slavery only in name. In the four principal colonies of this group, we venture to think the Earl of Kimberley may calculate upon receiving the moral support of a vigilant and healthy public opinion for the enforcement of the most severely repressive measures the Imperial Government may think proper to adopt with respect to this abominable traffic. Facts for Thought.—Dreydorff, in a new work on the Jesuits in the German Empire, just published at Leipsic, draws a few comparisons which are significant. Statistics prove that in Rome there are 237 times as many chances of being murdered as in England, and 133£ times more than in Protestant Prussia. In England, it is shown that one murder occurs for every 178,000 inhabitants ; in Holland, one for 163,000; in Prussia, one for 100,000 ; in Austria, one for 57,000; in Spain, one for 4,113; and in Naples, one for 2,750; but at Rome there is one homicide for every 760 of the inhabitants. Rome also scores the highest proportion of illegitimate children ; the ratio of births of this class being nearly sixty-one times greater in Rome than in London. It appears that in London there are for every one hundred legitimate births four illegitimate ; in Leipsic, twenty; in Paris, fortyeight ; in Munich, ninety-one; in Vienna, one hundred and eighteen, and in Some, two hundred and forty-three.—N.

Tbe Report of .tbe Hawaiian Board on the subject was read, and a series oi resolutions were passed, recommending tbe immediate establishmentof a Theological School in Honolulu. Report or the Committee or the Hawaiian Evangelical Association on the Theological School. 1. It is evident that if the Hawaiian Churches are to maintain their influence, the Pastors must not fall behind the people in intellectual training. They should rather take tbe lead in mental culture and civilisation. 2. In order that these objects may be mosi speedily attained, there is needed a unifying powe which shall tend to raise the standard of sue culture uniformly. 3. The only way to accomplish this object is t establish one general Theological and Trainin School, for the education of candidate* for thi ■ pastoral and missionary work. 4. This School should be located in Hooolulwl 5. It should be organised for a three year/I course, with provisions for exceptional case*. 8. R*v. J. D.

A. Kaiea, the King of the Island of Apniang, and a deacon of the church, who, amidst tbe wars, contentions, strife and exile which he was called to endure, as be supposed, for the sake of Christ, stood fast in the faith, and died trusting in Jesus Christ for salvation, on the 15th of February, 1871. These fruits of missionary labor should encourage us to sow the good seed with faith, trusting that the ever-living Master will gather to Himself, in due time, many sheaves, which may abound to the glory of His name. After the above was written the messenger of death again visited us, and took from our midst one who was hoping soon to return to the field of his former labors, with a new companion to sympathise and aid him in tbe work. The Rev. HL Aea, husband of Deborah, mentioned above, died on the 27th of May, 1872, after two weeks' suffering, leaving several children to mourn his death. Hie work i* ended.

This does not include what has been paid in since May 15th, when the accounts for the year were closed. Hone Hl.olsnt. The Evangelical Association of Kauai, at its meeting in October, 1871, voted to ask the Hawaiian Board for fifty dollars, to aid in supporting the pastor of the church at Wnimea, Kauai, Rev. A. Kaukau. This nid was cheerfully granted. As a general thing, the stipends of the pastors of the churches are paid, and some of the churches have increased these stipends. Otherchurches, however, are deficient in this respect, and seek to eke out the salary of their pastors by permitting them to seek a part of their support by labors which may hinder their appropriate pastoral work., There may be cases where the salary of the pastors will not support them and their families, but these are exceptions. In such cases, the Hawaiian Board have always felt it a duty and a pleasure to render assistance, when asked for through the proper channel. Female Boarding Srhaols. As is the character of the mothers of a nation, so is the character of that nation. Mothen stamp their own image upon their children ; these, with their parents, form the homes, and of these the nation is made up. Hence the importance of educating the girls of the nation. If there is any one thing which this Hawaiian people needs more than any other, it is educated, cultured, Christian homes; but these cannot be had without educated, cultured, Christian mothers. Just such -women are also needed to engage in woman's work on the islands of this North Pacific—cur missionary field. For want of such' we have been hindered from reinforcing one of our oldest missions the past year. The want of qualified women to engage in labor for the Master, is a hindrance to both our Home and Foreign work. To remove this, and supply the want, four Female Boarding Schools have been in operation, viz : one on the Island of Kauai, two on the Island of Oahu, and one on Maui; —not one on the largest island of the group. Hawaii is destitute of a boarding school, to which it might send its daughters for instruction. Two schools are now needed for that Island. Pupils can be found for both of these, were they established, from families who think they cannot part with their daughters to go to another island, but who would gladly provide for them in a school upon their own island. To found such schools means will not be wanting. Faith, prayer and self-denial will supply these. Has not the time come to commence this work ? The School at Koloa, Kauai, under, the care of Mn. Dr. Smith and daughter, has been continued as in years past, but with a decrease in tne number of pupils. Eleven �THI, pupils have been connected with the school. Dr. Smith writes in regard to it thus : " The school has been in existence ten years; is now made up, for the most part, of orphans and half-orphans. Five pupils arc supported in the school gratuitously. A capitation fee, however, is received for them from the Hawaiian Government. These girls arc all quiet in their deportment, and we have hope that they may be Christians, but God know'eth the heart. The pupils are taught in the English language. The large girls, however, read and write in the Hawaiian language." Several graduates from this school have married, and have made excellent wives} the most of them to foreigners. The efficient Principal of the Kaicaiohao Female Boarding School, Miss L. Bingham, together with her sister and others as assistants, has continued that seminary. It has been in a prosperous state. Forty-four boarding pupils (26 of whom are pure Hawaiians, 13 half or quarter white, and 5 half Chinese) are now connected with the institution. Two have been admitted to the church the past year; eight pupils are members of the church, and one propounded for church membership. One of its graduates was married In June last, to the Assistant Teacher of the Lahainaluna Seminary, and another at a later period to a foreigner. This school is accomplishing the object for which it was founded. May the great Head of the Church still continue to smile upon it, and from its raise up many who may be Mothers in fupils srael. The enerj!"-'-'- «"--' of Trustees of the *«> seminary, at Waialua, Waialua Oahu, ha' been awake to. the interests of that inst Jtion. In the early part of the year, the Rev. A. O. Forbes, President of the Board of Trustees, resigned his place, on account of his removal to another island. The Rev. H. H. Parker was chosen in his place. With this exception, the Board of Trustees remains as it was lust year. Miss M. E. Green, as Principal, has had charge of the school. She bus been assisted by Miss Goodale and others. The Master has smiled upon their labors. The Principal re- ports 41 scholars now* connected with the school. The pupils have experienced very little sickness ; some who came to the school weak and feeble,are now strong and healthy. They are taught all kinds of house-work; eat with the teachers at the same table ; are ■instructed in tbe English and Hawaiian language*. Meetings on the Sabbath and other days are kept up among them. Som" hope they may have found the Saviour to b*. precious to their souls. New applications are being made for entrance into the school continually. The institution needs another teacher, and must have one or suffer the consequence. This seminary, in years past, has sent forth many who have been a blessing to this and other lands, and we are very sanguine that it will continue to do so. The Makaxeao Female Seminary, under the care of the Rev. C. B. Andrews, Wife, and Miss Carpenter, has been opened for pupils, and many girls have availed themselves of its privileges. The pupils are mostly young, but will soon be the mothers of the nation. Those in charge of the seminary have been indefatigable m their labors, r I, Ir, \I) .1(1.1 ol and may hope to see rich fruit in years to come. The pupils numbered 40 at the commencement of this year. The Hawaiian Government has granted aid to the seminary to the amount of 81500 for building purposes, and fifty dollars in capitation fees. The Trustees of the institution made an appeal to the foreigners and churches on Maui, for the sum of 92000, which has been subscribed, and the most of it paid. In addition to these boarding schools, Mrs. Lyons and her daughter, of Wnimea, Hawaii, "have kept up a Family School for small girls, which numbers five scholars. Tbe«l*glral School. Thirteen pupils have been connected with this institution the past year, two of whom have been called to churches—one on Hawaii and one on Kauai. The Rev. Win. P. i Alexander has done the most of the teaching Z. 51 rangements have been made to have the work reprinted. As this could be done much cheaper, and better in the United States than at these Islands, the work has been printed and bound there, at a coat of H2OQ. The American Tract Society has publish, ed books for our Missions in the Marshall and Caroline Islands. These were carried through the press by Messrs. Sturges and Snow while in the United States. (See table below.) The sale of books the last year does not equal that of previous years. This can be accounted for from the fact that we have had no hymn book, or other new book on sale.

Lyons. He prepares most of the matter for the paper; has very little outside help. This ought not so to be.

Two hundred, and eighty gallons of oil, with $29.50 in cash, have been contributed for missions during the past year. 1242 books have been sold, for which 384 gallons of oil and 556.65 in cash have been received. One Gilbert Islander has been licensed to preach, and three Hawaiians ordained to the work of the ministry, the past year. The following condensed report of our old stations will show the state of the work at each : Tapittita. Some reaction, as was to be expected, has taken place at this island, but nothing which by any means should discourage the laborers there. Meetings on the Sabbath, and on week-days, as also the Monthly Concert, are kept up. The congregation on the Sabbath numbers from 250 to 400. A goodly number of the children aud adults are taught in day schools by the wives of our missionaries. Houses of worship have been furnished with lamps for evening services, the people contribute to the cause of missions and purchase all their books. No church has yet been formed on the island, though it is thought there may be material for one, as there are those who give some evidence that they have been born of the Holy Ghost. A census taken by one of the missionaries, the past year, makes tbe population 6172. Tirana. On account of the disturbed stale of things upon this island, it has been temporally vacated. It is hoped that the field will soon be again occupied, as the former missionary, Mr. Haina, will probably return again to the �I II X island, and do what he can to spread light among the people. This has always been, and is still, a hard field. Two stations were kept up on the island* the past year. Thirty scholars are reported in day schools. The little church formed there some two years since, is not in a prosperous state. Apalaa. At this station more missionary labor has been expended than at any other place in the Mission. Has now a church of 38 members, 8 new members admitted the past year. This church has been called to part with one of its deacons, A. Kaiea, the king of the island. In April 1871 a new king was inaugurated, and the formor rebel chief appointed chief minister. Quiet for the most part has prevailed on the island. No war, nor drinking to intoxication. The church members are represented as walking in an orderly manner. A house of worship, to take the place of the one destroyed by the rebels a few years since, has been built and dedicated. In June 1870 a work of grace commenced among the people which continued till April 1871. During that time the congregations on the Sabbath were large. No fishing, nor sailing canoes, or hulas were practiced on the Sabbath. Many appeared to be seeking the way of life. In April 1871 there was a revival of the hula and other heathen customs. The cultivation of the land was neglected. Many of the people spent their time in flying kites, playing base ball, racing canoes, and other amusements. At this time a false prophet appeared, who had some influence for a time over the people. The Sabbath school is represented as prosperous, as many'as one hundred scholars being in attendance. Two stations are now occupied on that island. Rev. H. Bingham and wife spent most of the time of their visit to the group at that island. Much good, doubtless, was done by their visit. The Hawaiian missionaries were encouraged. The General Meeting of the Mission held, and means put in operation, which may produce fruit to the glory of the Master. What this Mission needs is a missionary and wile to live among them. BiUrlUrl. Some of the church members at this station have become lukewarm, and have gone back to heathenism. This, however, is not the case with the great majority. The younger brother of the king keeps on in the Christian course, and is always found on the side of truth and right. Three houses of worship are connected with 'Is station. 39 church members are in regular standing, 17 have been received the past year, 11 church members have been set aside from the church, 3 of whom have been restored, 2 have been excommunicated. Meeting on tbe Sabbath and week days are kept up as in former years. 137 gal. of oil, and Sl7 in cash have been contributed to monthly concert fund, 200 books have been >id, for which 83 gal. of oil, and *10.29 'keen received.

In connection with our General Association, there are live Hawaiian Island Associations, one Presbytery, and one Association of the Foreign Churches; tbe whole number of settled pastors, foreign and native, being forty-nine. In looking over the churches generally, we are compelled to admit that the standard of piety is too low. Conlormity to this world, in its spirit and maxims, is too much the rule. We are sad, and mourn over the lukewarm and lapsed state of some of our churches, having a name to live, while many of their members are dead. Our Hawaiian Zion has not yet attained to the standard of the Apostle—"A holy nation, a peculiar people, shewing forth tbe praises of Him who hath called them out of darkness into his marvelous light." Still it is clear from the reports before us, that the cause of truth and righteousness is on the advance. Most of the churches, so recently organized, with native pastors, inexperienced, are growing and developing as symmetrically as could reasonably be expected. In a very few of our churches there have been revivals. A season of reviving was experienced some months since in the Kawaiahao church and congregation, under the care of the Rev. H. H. Parker, in which about forty persons were hopefully converted. A few others have been more or less refreshed by the quickening influence of the Holy Spirit. We rejoice with grateful hearts, that both the foreign churches in Honolulu have been blessed with the precious reviving influences of the Spirit of God. In this work of grace, some thirty or forty precious souls have been hopefully converted and gathered into the fold of the Good Shepherd. CONTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding the financial interests of our island community, foreign and native, have been very seriously affected by the loss of the Arctic fleet, the Chicago fire, and drought, yet the contributions for foreign missions and other benevolent purposes, have been larger than in years past. The whole amount contributed to the Hawaiian Board, during the year, is $11,062.09. Contributions for other benevolent purposes, $18,568 25. Total receipts for the year, as reported, $29,630.39. EDUCATION. Under the very liberal policy of the Hawaiian Government, and the wire and efficient direction of the inspector General, the Hon. H. R. Hitchcock, aided by the Board of Education, not only are the Common Schools of our islands vastly improved, but also the Boarding and High Schools, under the Government patronage, are coming up to a higher standard than they have maintained for some years. In years past, the Hilo Boarding School and the Lahainaluna Seminary have educated a large proportion of the �1 Hfc KKIKM), best men in the nation, in Church and State, in Foreign Missions, and those taking the lead in teaching and in the various departments of business. We have great cause for gratitude thatboth these institutions are now in a prosperous state ; —the former under its venerable and wise director, who has had the charge for tbe last thirty-six years, the Rev. D. B. Lyman, assisted by Miss E.Lyons and good native teachers. The number of pupils, at close of the school year, was 72. The latter, by the Rev. S. Bishop and the Rev. A. O.

At the invitation of the Hawaiian Board, he went as a Delegate to the Marquesas, on board the Morning Star, and since his return his labors in teaching have not been resumed. Our hearts arc sad in view of the great want of Ministers, of tbe right spirit and qualifications, both for the home and foreign fields. Many of our home churches are now destitute, having no one to break to them the Bread of Life, while there are very few young men looking forward with a desire to enter the self-denying work of preaching the Gospel. More lucrative and less laborious situations for educated young men, are multiplying, and the temptations for entering them are very strong. Tbe General Association of the Hawaiian islands has voted to establish a Theological School in Honolulu, as the best and most centra 1 location for such an institution, and with the hope of gradually meeting the wants of the destitute. But it is of the utmost importance that more earnest and vigorous efforts be made in all our schools and churches, to seek out and influence the minds of young men to prepare themselves for the active service of Christ. Not only do we want men whose hearts are fired with the love of Christ for the destitute churches at home, but the fields of Micronesis and Nuuhiva are white already for the harvest, and the Macedonian cry, "Come over and help us," is wafted on every breeze. But where are the men full of love to Christ, of faith, and of the Holy Ghost ? saying, Here are we, send us." Funds are " the harvest is plenteous, but the abundant, " the laborers are few. Pray ye, therefore, Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest." As a general thing, a spirit of love and unanimity sjons. Our meetings have been harmonious in deliberating for the interests of the Redeemer's Kingdom on those islands, and we trust the Lord Jesus, by his Holy Spirit, has been with us. \ John D. Paris, K.

This is a good work, and every pastor should make it nis business to see that every household within the boundary of his parish has the Word of God. THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL. The Rev. Wm. P.

The attention of the civilized world has recently been directed to the Embassy of Japanese to America and Europe. This is n noteworthy event. An empire great and powerful, after ages of sealed seclusion, seeks alliances with the other great nations and empires. In some respects, however, we consider Mr. Webb's mission as one of equal importance. Here is a man of wealth, an owner of steamships and builder of vessels of war, who crosses this broad ocean to complete arrangements for communication by steam with the growing and prosperous Colonies of Australia. He is not an adventurer, but a shrewd and far-seeing projector of a line of steamers, in which he is willing to invest and risk hundreds of thousands of his own money. He does not start forth backed by governments, but simply asks governments to assist him in carrying out this really gigantic enterprise. We hope it may prove no " South Sea bauble," but may speedily become a settled, fixed and solid transaction, connecting America and Austaalia firmly together. We rejoice that the Hawaiian Government has manifested its good sense in making such an appropriation as indicates its good will and readiness to take its spare of responsibility. Some of the Australian Colonies have done their part, and we sincerely hope the United States Government will ensure the success of the enter- prise. {(DliSmts.M-W OONOLULU, MAY I, 1872. The Rev.

Editor Bulletin —I notice in your issue of the Ist of March an article regarding Arctic explorations. I see a gentleman named Ootave Pavy is about fitting out an expedition for this purpose. It is potssihie that Mr. Pavy may not have seen un article written by my«e! r, giving my views ilium the bei-t method of reaching the north pole, : 35 and mating a passage between the Pacific and Atlantio oceans. During my experience aa a shipmaster, for thirty-five yean, I have taken a great interest in studying the history of maritime adventurers, and nave noted very carefully the resalts of their expeditions, and the senses of their failure*. With all due regard to tbe enterprise of Mr. Pavy in organising this expedition for the purpose of reaching the north pole, I wish to claim to myself whatever merit may be deserved for first bringing it to the notice of toe public. Having made these few egotistical remarks, I wish to make some remarks on the character of the expedition now being fitted out. I do not believe it will be possible for Mr. Pavy to pass through the channels between Spitzbergen and Greenland, or between Nova Zambia and Spitsbergen, as those passages have always been found blocked with ice, and it would be impossible to winter in the ice in such a raft as he has constructed. I believe it might be possible for him to reach the north pole from Wrangell's Land, but to endeavor to pass into the Atlantic with such a craft I think would be the height of folly. I believe the north pole can be reached in the manner in which Mr. Pavy proposes, but it would be necessary for him to return to Wrangell's Land for winter quarters. lam of opinion that a vessel properly fitted for the purpose could make the passage from Behring's Straits to the Atlantic in one year from the time of passing Behring'sStraits. The only reason which has prevented myself from prosecuting this enterprise was want of means. Had I had sufficient political influence to obtain those means from the American Government, tbe secrets of the Polar Ocean on this side of the continent of America would have been solved, or I should have been turn est inventus. In conversation with Mr. Fonard. a member of the French Geographical Society, I was informed that he had translated my views on this subject, and that tlicy were published in tho Rtvue dcs deux Mondes. Now I thinkcredit should be given to whom credit is due for any information which may be beneficial to the world. I therefore claim that if this enterprise shall be successful, the route shall be named Long route to the north pole." " (Egotism.) Being an old and experienced navigator, (for whose qualifications and veracity I can refer to some of the merchants of San Francisco, vii: J. C. Merrill, C. W. Brooks and many others,) I have submitted these remarks, trusting ifthey do no good, they cannot do any harm. Yours truly, Thomas Long. Senator Sumner on the Future of the Pacific.—At a meeting of the Antiquarian Society at Worcester, Mass., October 21st, 1871, Senator Sumner remarked as follows respecting the future of this great ocean, in- cluding our little island kingdom : " Mr. Summer then spoke of the idea sug- gested in the report of the Council, that the Pacific would be our Mediterranean Sea, and said'tne unity of European capital renders it doubtful if the United States ever regains its power on the Atlantic Ocean, and it must improve its opportunity in the other direction. The Pacific is essentially ours, and it is cf vast importance that all our rights there be jealously guarded and defended. In this connection, he said he anticipated a time when the Sandwich Islands will become a part of the jurisdiction of this country, as our half-way-house to China and Japan. In this view, the Pacific, he said, is to be to us the great middle sea of the world. He spoke also of the high degree of intelligence of the Japanese, and the ease and industry with which they apply themselves to the acquisition of knowledge, and of the great importance of developing fully our international relations with that peoj'le." �36 THE PR I AND, MAY, 1 8 It. THE FHIEND. Mat 1. ist*. Opening of the Legislative Assembly. Tbe Legislature of tbe Kingdom, convened by Royal Proclamation dated the 27th of February last, met at the Court House in this City to-day at 12 o'clock noon, in the Supreme Court Room of the Court House. A large concourse of ladies and gentlemen filled the Hall outside the Bar of tbe House. As His Majesty left the Palace in the State Coach under escort of the Hawaiian Cavalry,' Major Judd, the Battery on Punch Bowl and Her Britannic Majesty's sloop-of-war Scout fired Royal Salutes. On tbe arrival of tho Royal Cortege at tlie Court House, tho troops drawn up in line presented arms, the Band played the National Anthem, and His Majesty, accompanied by tbe Chief Justice and his Ministers, pro] cccded to the Legislative Hall, when after reading of prayer by the Vencrablo Archdeacon George Mason, tho Assembly for 1872 was formally opened by His Majesty in the following gracious speech: Nobles and Rei'resektatives : At the opening of the Legislative Assembly of 1870, I commended to its attention Foreign and InterIsland Steam Communication, and the Assembly of that year responded by making liberal appropriation. Tbe means placed at the disposal of My Government for these purposes have been used as it was intended. The Report of My Minister of tbe Interior wi<l show you the gratifying fact that steam communication between the Islands is likely to be self-supporting, nnd will encourage the hope tbat the publio necessity will call for an iuoreato of that service at an early day. Steam communication with the Coast of America, and with tbe New Zealand and Australian Colonies, seems now to be firmly established, and I have not a doubt that the money devoted by us to this objeot will be found to be wisely expended. During the last two years. Agriculture has repaid handsomely those who have pursued it with courage, diligence and enterprise. It is the life of the Nation, not only from its profitable returns, but as tending directly to tbe increase of the population, and tbe prolongation of vigorous life. I therefore hope that you wilt not neglect to further its interests by every means in your power. But whilst giving your earnest consideration to it, I trust that every other interest will receive likewise its share of your attention. Our relations with foreign Governments continue to he of the most friendly nature. Since tho adjournment of tbe Inst Legislative Assembly, I bave concluded a Treaty of Amity and Commerce with His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, tbe text of which will be laid before you. The Treaty of Reciprocity which was at the lost Session of this Body before the Senate of tbe United States, failed to receive the number of votes necessary for its ratification. I have directed notice to be given of My desire for the termination of tbose Articles of the Treaty with France, signed at Honolulu, October 29th, 1867, which it is agreed by the 26th Articlo of that Treaty, may cease to bave effect after one year's notice. This will leave you free to make such changes in the Tariff as you, in your wisdom, may think proper. The Report of My Minister of Finance will present te yoa ascst gratifying evidence of the good condition of our nuances. Tho interest* of the cause of Education have never liecn more thoroughly attended to, and tberesults of that attention have been most encouraging. Justice has been sdmhiistered equally and impartially te all. I'eiioe, aoiitcnluicnt and prosperity have reigned within our borders. All the works which have been undertaken and i-oropleted, as well as those which arc now projected lor tbe publio benefit, have hsd and do have My most hearty concurrence, and I therefore commend to you meat earnestly tbe reoommendations of My Ministers in this respect. It is my painful duly to inform you that the Widow of My Predecessor, His late Majesty Kamehameha 111., decease.] at her residence In Honolulu, 20th Did the Apostle Peter ever Visit Rome?

Three Catholic priests, Fabiani, Cipolla and Guidi, met Rev. Messrs. Sciarelli (Methodist), Bibetti (Vandois), and Gavazzi (Free Italian Church.) For two evenings (Bth and 9th of February) the discussion was continued. It has created a great excitement in Rome. Protestants claim that they have the best of the argument, and the good Pope says no more public discussions with heretics. We only wonder he ever allowed this to take place under his sanction. The world moves! Even old Catholic Rome is shaken ! The Bible, free schools, preaching and other potent agencies are overturning society. Naval.—The French frigate.

The amount of cash transactions in the National Treasury Bureau during eleven years and a half, ending with January, 11372, thoushows an aggregate sand millions of dollars. This enormous sum could be swollen immensely by including bonds—hundreds of millions of which, subject to frequent withdrawal and replacement (the aggregate transactions reaching many thousands of millions), are included in the responsibilities for which Treasurer Spinner has been accountable. The following table exhibits the total amount of money-entries as they appear on the books of the Treasury of the United States at Washington, in each of the fiscal years Jrom 1861 to 1871, both inclusive, and for the fractional part of a year from the Ist of July to the 9th of January last, both inclusive, added thereto, and the aggregate nmount for the entire eleven and a half years, end tbe loss thereon in that time : 18»1 18«2 IMS 1864 IM* 18S6 1887 VMS 1889' |g7o' $ 231,448,516 07 2,294,874,642 O'J 4,946,434,289 68 7,432,886,024 1" 9,117,866,012 5S 8,403,203,990 72 5,930,41)7.941 90 6,622,381,160 05 3,034,012,014 16 4,199,841,001 61 .' 4,34-1,838.809 82 lg;l .'

Our female readers particularly may excuse us for reference to another feature in (•eneral Spinner's management. His oflicial reports show repeated allusions to the ability with which ladies discharged their duties as clerks in responsible positions, and to the propriety of paying them as much salary as men receive for similar service. It will surprise many people to be told that more than four-fifths of the three hundred clerks in the Treasury Bureau are ladies (mostly mothers, sisters or daughters), whose natural protectors fell in defending the government. The fidelity with which these lady-clerks discharge their duties amid the treasures around them needs no further endorsement than is furnished by the fact that they constitute so large a proportion of the clerical force in a branch of government so well managed as the Treasury Bureau.— Leslie's Weekly.

Confessions of an Opium Eater. Some montha ago a stranger landed in Honolulu, suffering terribly from the effects of opium. He belonged to one of the interior citiea of California. *As the drug had empoverished him, he made an appeal for aid, and waa assisted by the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society. After several months had paaaed away, he returned to San Francisco, but before leaving, he allowed us to peruse a neatly written letter, addressed to a friend in the city where he had resided, and with his permission, we make the following extracts, which we hope may prove a warning to any poor victim of the drug who has not gone too far: I beg leave herewith to submit to your kindly notice a letter of mine, containing, as you will see, my experience while seeking release from the inthrallment of the accursed opium habit. Three different times I endeavored while in ■— to burst the bonds that bound me to the infernal fascinating drug, and after each trial I was compelled to fall back on the opium pipe for support. God seems to help a man in getting out of every difficulty but opium. There you have to claw your own way out over red hot coals on your hands and knees, and drag yourself by main strength through the burning dungeon bars. Knowing that you have ever taken an interest in my welfare, I will now inform you where I am, and'what I have been doing since 1 left your city. I started from with theavowed intention of breaking myself from the enchanting opium habit, an invalid with all the uncertainties ol victory which attend one addicted to the bewitching drug. It was impossible for me to accomplish the herculean feat while I remained in ———, subject to so many temptations, for under no treatment can a patient be cured of the miserable habit (I speak with the authority of sad experience on this subject) without enduring suffering and temptations which not one in a hundred could endure at all. There are none who would pass through the ordeal a second time for the wealth of the world. I reached San Francisco September 20th on the steamer New World at eight o'clock, P. M., and the first place that 1 found myself half an hour after I arrived was in an opium hell on Dupont street, which place I visited three times a day while I remained in the city, smoking a half dollar's worth each time. You must say that I made a good commencement to throw off my allegiance to the opium despot. I stopped in San Francisco until October 3d, trying to find a ship bound for Tahiti, but did not succeed in finding one; neither wns there one up for the Society Islands. As my finances were getting beautifully diminished every day that 1 remained in San Francisco (1 had but seven dollars when I started), it was necessary that I should start for soma place or other, and make another effort to flee from the fascinating narcotic. 1 heard that the bark D. C. Murray would sail for the Hawaiian Islands on .or about the 3d of October, so I went and engaged a passage to Honolulu, and bought one e ol sarsupHrilla, mid two dollars worm of opium to put into it. With this small stock of medicine to break a habit of ten years' standing, I was prepared to make a final effort to burst the deadly opium bonds. On Tuesday afternoon, October 3d, I bade farewell to California, bound for Honolulu aboard the bark D. C. Murray. We made the run down with very pleasant weather in twelve and a half days, arriving at Honolulu on Monday morning, October 16th. But oh! Lord! what indescribable, hideous, horrible, incessant tortures I underwent! Oh! my soul was miserable, hankering to acquire more misery,—by turns desperate, shuddering, groaning, tormented, pained and gnawed by the demon Despair. These are merely a part, but to relate all the monstrous, fearful, distracted, horribly hideous dreams, would bring my word in doubt, and stagger your belief. I was afflicted with all the ills that flesh is heir to. I could not sleep, eat or walk, and when we arrived at Honolulu I could hardly crawl ashore—in fact 1 was completely demoralized. I remained in Honolulu one month, bathing in the falls in Nuuanu Valley,and taking exercise on horseback, and afoot visiting all the places of note on the Island of Oahu. Here I may remark that after all the trouble and tortures my soul had endured, that enchanting sorcery of earth and hell seduced me again, and riveted ia iron chain of desolation, trouble, poverty and shame upon me, and incredible though the assertion seems, 1 could not resist it, and passively yielded to the direful temptation. Stung by misery, vexation, disappointment and remorse, but never (even in the moments of my most abject despair) relinquishing my cherished desire to once more stand upon my feet a free man, 1 decided to go to some other island where Celestial Chinamen did not live, for wherever you find them, so sure will you find the foul fiend Opium. Oh ! the torments I have suffered to gain what!—an hour of dreaming joy—a feverish hour that hasted to be done and ended in the bitterness of woe. 1 was recommended to go to the Island of Maui by a gentleman residing in the city of Honolulu, who kindly gave me a letter of introduction to an old Quaker by the name of A. P. Jones, with whom I could stop, and incur no expenses. I secured a passage on the schooner Ka Moi, Captain Davis, which cost me five dollars (cabin passage.) They do not carry white men in the steerage. That five dollars cleaned me out. On the evening of the 16th of November 1 went on board of the schooner, and on tbe 18th we arrived at Wailuku, West Maui. Here I landed a cold forsaken thing, that wandered along forlorn and desolate—a vtipor eddying in the whirl of chnnce. I fell again, and with desperate haste I went to wring the last sweet drop from sorrow's cup of gall. After a few days I met a Mr. Reed with his wagon, and engaged him to take me to the Quaker's, who lives on East Maui, near a little village called Makawao, fifteen miles from Wailuku. When I arrived at the Quaker's 1 wss out of opium, and 1 was unable to procure any more. A violent fever soon seized me; the heavens above, the earth beneath seemed glowing brass, heated seven times. Severer and severer yet it came, and as I writhed and quivered, scorched within, the fury reund my torrid temples flapped her fiery wing", and breathed upon my lips and parched tongue the withered blasts of hell ! Memory gave up her charge; decision reeled ; I wished to forget my " vow; " 1 had no hope ; enjoyment now was done. When I got a little better I occupied my time in exercising at the culinary art, and occasionally riding around to different parts of the island. 1 looked old, withered, decrepit, and was worn to skin and bone, and shook as with the palsy. I did not remain with tbe Quaker very long, in consequence of us not hitching horses toge'iher, but went to Mr. Farden's place at Puunialei to stop with Mr. John Lewis, an old Californian, until I could get some employment. I have gained somewhat in strength, but there is still a deadly stupor of mind, from which I have not yet awakened, and my whole nervous system is shattered and impaired after passing through the fiery ordeal—ambition fled—and only sustained by the wonderful power of Hope that I shall eventually prevail over that bewitching sorcery of earth, Opium. For the present I am safe, as there is very little opium on this island ; it is expensive, and I have no money with which to purchase it. There is no chance to make a raise, or borrow a half of a friend. This is a delightful climate, with balmy breezes, abundance of fruit, such as oranges, bananas and guavas. I intend to remain on these islands some time. In this delightful climate, dear generous summer is at hand, with her lap full, and her prodigal fingers scattering flowers on the mountain tops and in the deep secluded glens. So you will understand how very easy it is to lead a sort of vagabond life around these islands. If there are any would-be opium eaters in your city or its vicinity—and I doubt not but there are a few—you should not be slow to sound a timely note of alarm to the uninitiated, that tbey may be put on their guard against the insidious seductions of the infernal bewitching drug. G. W. P. Curtis, in his "Recollections of Washington," gives a copy of a contract written in Washington's own hand, between George Washington and Phillip Barton, his gardener. After the usual clauses, it provides thut the said Barton " will not at any time suffer himself to be disguised with liquor, except on terms hereafter mentioned." After enumerating the clothing, ike., to be furnished, it further says he was to be allowed " four dollars at Christmas, with which he may be drunk four days and"four nights. Also two dollars at Whltsunside, to be drunk two days ; also a dram in the morning, and a drink of grog at dinner at noon." We can easily comprehend what such rabid water drinkers as Gough and Greeley would say at such a singular compact; but the inference is that Washington, being an eminently practical man, saw the impossibility of eradicating the vice in otherwise a good and valuable servant, and so made a compromise, which should retain him in the rank of rational beings. Had he drawn the string too tight he might have driven Barton into the realms of rum altogether. Six days' intoxication is not two per cent., nnd is very moderate compared to many of our modern officials.—Am. Paper. �INK ritlK.M), MAY, MASTERS W SHIPS IiKSIRIM.

Annual Meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association of Honolulu. It has been tbe custom, since the com* mencement of this Society to hold the annual meetings at the houses of some one of the members, and to follow the regular busi- ness of these occasions with the less regular but very pleasurable duties connected with the discussion of a variety of eatables and drinkables, and the social interchange naturally incident to such circumstances. To these gatherings, guests have generally been invited, but heretofore from the ranks of.the "young men" portion of the community only. The annual meeting for this year, the third year of the Association, was held at the house of Mr. Athtrton, the President for the past year, on Friday evening of the nineteenth of Inst month. There was a large attendance of members, besides many invited guests, of whom the greater proportion were ladies. Xi ports were read ; u short address from the retiring President followed, which will be found below, and then the meeting proceeded to the election of officers for the coming year, with the following results: Mr.T. K. Walker, President; Mr. S. B. Dole, Vice President; Mr. W. W. Hall, Secretary; Mr. S. M. Da- Treasurer. The retiring officers-being, Mr. J. ii Atherton, President; Mr. T. fi. Walker, Vice President; Mr W. W. Hall, Secretary (re-elected); Mr. E. C. Damon, Treasurer, vice Mr. J. E. Tucker, resigned. The social part of the gathering included n delicious collation, flowers and music. mon, President's Address. In retiring from the Presidency of this Association, I have thought a few remarks upon the condition of and interest of the members of the Association might not come amiss, and perhaps be productive of good. We have on the books of the Association the names of thirty-eight members, twentythree of them being iictual resident! of Honolulu ; yet during the past year, and I think also the previous one, ii has rarely been the case that more than nine members were presentat theregular monthly meetings,although due notice was given of such meetings. During the year we have held eight regular meetings, the other four months failing for want of a quorum. The meetings held were interesting, especially those at which members previously appointed read essays, and afterwards had the "subject discussed by the members at large. At the annual meeting last year, it was voted thatthe President at each regular meeting should appoint some member to present a subject tending to the advancement and improvement of the Association, on which he should write an eaaar, tb« subject Joeing open to discussion, after the reading of the essay. During the year three subjects have been presented. 1. The Use and Abuse ef Narcotic Stimulants. 2. The Use and Abuse of Fiction in Literature. 3. The positiop which this Association ought to take in regard to the Temperance movement in Honolulu. These subjects aa presented were very interesting, and well havidled.and the discussions originating from them entertaining and profitable. 1 would recommend the continuance of these essays during the coming year. In regard to the work of the Association, I would say that the Reading Room has been kept in good order, well supplied with newspapers and periodicals, besides stationery for the use of strangers. It has been well patronized by strangers, as well as by residents of these islands, and would be much missed if compelled to be closed for want of support. The Chinese Sabbath-school which was started some three months ago under the direction of this Association in the Lecture Room of Fort Street Church, has proved thus far quite successful. The attendance has varied from Sabbath to Sabbath. We began with eighteen, and have had as high as twenty-seven Chinamen. These men have appeared interested and desirous of learning. The instruction thus far has been mostly from the Primer and First Reader, but we hope before long to give them the Rible to read. A few adult teachers, who can be regular in their attendance, much needed, and would add much to the efficiency of the " Uses and Abuses of Fiction in Literature." The subject was well handled, and the discussion which followed was well sustained. At the meeting in March, Mr. S. Pogue presented the subject of " Our duties to the Temperance Associations in this place." These discussions will be continued during the coming year, and will doubtless make the meetings more interesting. * The Reading Room has been well sustained during the past year, and many are now in the habit of frequenting it for the latest news, or for pleasant literary recreation. We can safely say that it has now become an institution of Honolulu, and it is quite important that it should be well susWe have noticed often during the slay of the steamers in our port, that the Room has been filled with strangers, who are thus enabled to spend a few pleasant hours while detained here. This Association has taken up new work during this year ; and on the first Sunday in January the Chinese Sabbath-school was commenced in the Lecture Room of Fort Street Church. From the six or seven Chinamen who were present the first Sunday, the school has increased, until now it numbers from twenly-five lo thirty scholars, with from fifteen to twenty teachers. Some of our lady friends have kindly helped us in this tained. school. We have thus far as an organization, except in providing a Reading Hoom, done little for the stranger young men who have come into our midst the past year. Ido not really missionary work. The scholars seem know that any have really needed our assist- all eager to learn, and many are making very ance, and yet have we sought to become ac- commendable progress in reading. We requainted with the strangers that have come gret to say that they do not take to singing amongst us, to see whether our help has been as well as to reading.

Leaving all money matters for the Treasurer to account for, I will merely men- tion the work we have had in hand. Eight regular meetings have been held during the year in our Reading Room. On three different occasions we were unable to hold monthly meetings, as there was not a quorum present. Seme of our meetings have been exceedingly interesting, owing to the discussions which have taken place on subjects proposed at some previous meeting. At the meeting held in December last, Dr. C. F. Nichols read some interesting notes on the subject of narcotic stimulants and their abuse. The subject was taken up and discussed by a number of the members present. At the meeting in January, Mr. T. R. Walker presented some very interesting thoughts on the Report.

There are few Christian cities or countries where the number of sittings in the various churches will more nearly correspond with the number of the inhabitants; where a larger proportion of the people can read and write ; where the children are more generally gathered in Sabbath and week-day schools; where the Sabbath is more generally observed ; where places of public amusements nnd drinking are more effectually closed upon the Sabbath ; where in all the business and social intercourse of life, the various races dwell together in more harmony ; where every man's house is more essentially his castle ; where the inhabitants ofall classes are better protected in their persons and rights; where there exists a better type of Christian civilization ; where there is less of the sectarian spirit; where a man is more respected, because he is a man, and behaving himself as a man and gentleman, will be respected, from whatever part of the world he may have come, or whatever may be his calling. Now is it right and proper to brand such a community with opprobious epithets? If the Ritualistic party of the English Church wish to establish a Bishopric in Honolulu, let them do so, but in doing so, let them not call us hard names. If the abettors of this undertaking incline persistently to ignore what American Christians have done through their missionaries on these islands, let them do so ; but in the name of all that is good, honorable and Christian, let the Prelates of the English Church refrain from speaking of the native inhabitants of these islands 89 and the foreign population as " heathens," " the refuse of civilization who mingled with them." Cruise of H. B. M.'s Ship Rosario.—By way of Sydney, we learn that H. B. M.'s ship Rosario has visited the scene of the murder of Bishop Patteson and the Rev. J. Atkin, and has exacted retribution, by burning villages and blowing natives to pieces. The friends of the mission as well as of humanity and civilization, deeply regret this as not only a useless but cruel step, and one unworthy of the British flag. It is well known that the massacre was the result of cruelties practiced by kidnapping vessels,and the reprisals by the iiosario's crew will merely ensure the slaughter of the next boat's crew of white men who may venture near the Swallow Islands. Discredit is cast in "#Olll6 quarters upon the account given of the teprisals by the Sydney papers; but it is difficult to believe that such circumstantial narratives as we have received should be without foundation.

THE FRIEND. APRIL 1, 1872. A Sketch of the Gambier Isles. At the south-eastern extremity of the archipelago of Tuamotu lie the Gambier Isles, forming a small state under the protection of the French. The regent lives at Mangiivera, the largest of these isles. France assumed the guardianship in 1845, and established conditions fot the government. In 1867, the time of the recall of M. Hyppolite from Tahiti, nearly all foreigners left these islands, and iheir departure was gladly witnessed by the native government, which, freed from all restraint, could monopolize the trade in pearls and oblige the people to buy their necessaries of them. This political isolation stopped commerce and delayed the progress of civilization to such a degree that the value of silver was not commonly known. It also brought about disease by preventing the people from obtaining any variety in their food. The French have put a stop to this, and the natives have been compelled to adopt these laws : Commerce shall be free. Every one can exercise his own choice in religion and education. Quarrels shall be settled by the French tribunal. All corporal punishment shall be abolished. So now the isles are frefe to all. The climate is well tempered, and the seasons quite strongly marked. The songs and dances common to other tribes are unknown here. Foreigners are greeted with evident marks of dissatisfaction by them, yet they are unmolested. If the Catholic Mission will use its influence to support the authority of the French government, much improvement may be looked for. The great thing necessary is to teach them to work. The soil is not very fertile, and most of the land is surrounded by high mountains, while in the valleys grow cocoanuts, oranges, bananas and the breadfruit. This latter forms when fermented the principal food. The taro is rarely found. The pandanus tree abounds, especially upon the old coral reefs. The soil in many places seems peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of cotton and coffee. The harbor abounds in fish, yet the natives do not catch many. Their natural indolence and want of foresight prevent their taking pains to obtain fish and animal food for themselves, and they suffer from it. Most of their time is spent in obtaining the pearl oyster, and every year they procure fifty tons of nacre ; yet the beds are becoming exhausted from lack of care. The race is fast fading away, and very few of either sex attain old age. The women are decreasing faster than the men. Education is nre, yet quite a number taught by the mission speak French. The boys' school at Mangavera has about 100 pupils from 6 to 12 years of age, and the girls', a little out of the city, numbers 60 pupils, from 8 to 13 years old. They are taught to work as well as to read, and ihe schools arc having a good Spite of the low condition of the natives, there are some pretty residences, and the cathedral, adorned with nacre, is very handsome. Seen from the sea, the chief city, Kikitea, presents a beautiful aspect, and only the pleasant part of the place is seen. It is to be hoped that commercial relations may soon be established between these islands and Tahiti, thus stimulating the natives to a desire of trade and elevating Ihem.— Translation by Prof. Checkering from the French newspaper published at Tahiti. result. tT* In recording the death of Mr. Conant, we are reminded of that of his only son, which occurred on board the United States ship Powhatan in 1867. We received from the chaplain of the ship the following letter, which bears such honorable testimony to the character of the young man, that we publish it. He had served for several years in the United States navy, and during the rebellion was on board a blockading vessel off the Southern coast. We would merely add that through the kind offices of E. Perkins, Esq., former American Consul at Lahaina, Mr. Conant received over 8200, the amount due his son at the time of his death. U. S. Flagship ' 4 Powhatan," ) Callao, May 27, 1867. Rev. S. C. Damon— My Dear Friend: Very strange are the ways of Providence. I have recently written to you asking your good offices in obtaining a Bible in Hawaiian for James Conant. Last Thursday, the 23d, he fell from the fore-yard to the deck, and survived the fall only two or three hours. The men were unbending the foresail. It was caught in some way, and Conant was pushing it, when it suddenly gave way and precipitated him to the deck. He was respectably buried on" shore in the foreign cemetery. I write to you of this sad occurrence, so that, if you have not yet sent the Bible, you may retain it, and that you may put a notice of the death in your paper, in order that it may thus come lo the knowledge of his friends. I gave you before the name of the island from which he came. I understood him to say that his father was an American. 1 am happy to add that ho was one of our best men, very highly esteemed by all, and the testimony of his shipmates is also that he was a religious man. He was a Bible reader, and an attendant on our prayermeetings and Bible class. You will be pleased to hear that there is a marked increase of religious interest on board. There is an increasing number of the men who are striving to follow the Lord. Most sincerely your brother in Christ, Donald McLakkn. i — By the next mail after the departure of Judge Hartwell, we received a copy of the Natick Bulletin, announcing the death of his father. When in the United States in 1869, it was our privilege to visit tbe early home of the Judge, which was one of many beautiful homes in the immediate vicinity of the spot where Elliot the Apostle to the Indians, first gathered the natives of the forest to preach among them the gospel. We copy as follows : 41 Our community has been startled by the announcement of the sudden death of otedman Hartwell, Esq., which occurred on Wednesday at about 5 o'clock, P. M. He was 71 years and 10 months old. His disease was congestion of the lungs. Mr. Hartwell was one of the oldest residents of this town, a man of lhe strictest integrity, and one in whom the town has entrusted much of its local management, lie having filled the various offices with rare ability, always taking a decided interest in all improvements, and counseling every measure tending to the public good. He has represented the town in the General Court. The deceased is the father of General Alfred S. Hartwell, who served with distinction in the late war, and is now an Associate Judge of the Supreme. Court of the Sandwich Islands; also General Charles Hartwell, now a Captain and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel in the regular army now serving on the frontier. His wisdom will be missed in our counsels, and the citizens will feel that in his demise they have met with an irreparable loss." The following tribute to Dr. B. Seemann we copy from a late number of Trubner's Oriental Record, published in London. We distinctlyrecall the visit of Dr. Seemann, nearly twenty years ago, to Honolulu, when attached to one of the British vessels of war in search of Sir John Franklin. At that time he was a most enthusiastic naturalist, and it appears that he has made natural history the study of his life, and had acquired a world-wide fame : 14 Obituary.—Dr. Berthold Seemann was born at Hanover in the year 1825. He was educated in the Lyceum of his native city, and obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Gottingen. As a scientific writer he was widely known by his Narrative of the Voyage of H. M. S. Herald, published in 1853; a popular History of Palms, in 1855; the Botany of the Voyage of H. M. S. Herald, in 1557 ; Viti-an Acof a Government Mission to the Viti or Fiji Islands, in 1862; Popular Nomenclature of the American Flora; Twenty-four Views of the Coast and Islands of the Pacific; and Dottings on the Roadside in Panama, Nicaragua and Mosquito, written in collaboration with Captain Bedford Pirn, R. N., and published in 1869. Dr. Seemann was also a frequent contributor to the. leading scientific journals of Londoti, and editor of the Banplandia, and the Journal of Botany, British and Foreign. He died at the Javali Mine, Nicaragua, on the 10th of October last, after a short illness. He was a member of nearly all the scientific societies of count London." �I H X KRIEM), APRIL, DKl'lltll Information W.tnted, KKs. bk Ka Moi. tiecrken, for Bremen, via AuckMlK.wid, December 15th, 1171. !

Edited by a member of tbe Y. M. 0. A. ing to prove Heathens and the Refuse of Civilization. Our friends of the Church of England have lately consecrated a bishop for missionary work in our community, for which promised blessing we tender our hearty thanks. The " eloquent and impressive sermon " of the worthy Dean, who officiated on the occasion, the reporter tells us, " riveted the attention of the congregation." We should rather think it did ! Referring eloquently to the martyrdom of Bishop Patteson, "the dead Evangelist of Polynesia," the Dean tenderly spoke of the approaching departure of Bishop Willis to encounter the dangers :i iui hardships of another portion of heatheniloin—the Hawaiian Islands; of the painful rending of family ties, of the tearing away the devoted pastor from the flock he had gathered, to expose him to caprices of the heathens and refuse of civilization within the Diocese of Honolulu. Truly, the gallant Bishop must have felt his soul grow big within him as he listened, and have obtained new and startling views of the full heroism of his own plans. Doubtless his heart yearned more strongly than ever for the pious navvies of the Chatham dockyards and the peaceful, though unheralded, walks on the banks of the quiet Thames, But he stood the test and held to his self-denying resolve with unshaken firmness. Tbe entirely unfounded impressions which the conscientious Dean allowed himself to give in regard to the condition of our community doubtless has its compensations. Besides the missionary stimulus it must have been to Bishop Willis, it may be something to us in the way of salutary discipline. Our pride is beyond anything the most of us dream of. Witness the valiant rush to the newspaper " front " to defend ourselves from an uncomplimentary but careless and nonmalicious utterance of an innocent and probably useful old English clergyman on the other «ide of the world. Our atmosphere is thick .with sarcasm and indignant asseveration. AH parties, ecclesiastic and politic, ere united in the common cause of mutual vindicatiou. It is true that the language that speaks of us as heathens and the refuse of civilization is, to say the least, inappropriate and extfiedoe. But it is probable that it would not require much search to find a good many " heathens " in our midst as well as a few of the "dregs," for which we may be more or less responsible ; and straightforward effort Ip reduce the number would do much 16 remove the necessity of our try- the YouCMnhgerisntH Aa’ocf onolulu.
