affair of the Alabama's depredations. Year after
year, the affair remaind unsettled, but during the

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

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

good Statesman and lawyer, when he said: Tbe

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.

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

and difficulties. 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 ! Verily, you have cause for gratitude."

Rev. M. Frear's Temperance Sermon.
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.

The Board now turns with renewed exertions
to the prosecution of the work in nominally Christian lands. 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. Even now
may we not clearly sec on the mountain tops

in Astronomy.
By J. 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

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

" It isforthesuffering,

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,

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

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

�THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER,
on the 26th. 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.

We are gratified to hear again from the
Pitcairners. 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.

“E
Thinnketo vil.”
To repent,—to confess our sin and ask for
its pardon, is a high and encouraging feature
of our humanity: and it is our own, peculiar
to ourselves; it is the saving possibility of a
race that has fallen below the nobility of its
birthright.
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.''

Dillingham & Co.'s New Hardware Store.
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.
Up now resides in Florence, Italy, and is

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

both serious, aud leff in a

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.

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.
Revenue of the Church of England.—The
auounl revenue of the Church of England, it has
boon ascertained, amounts to $50,770,700, of
which $9,746,029 nrc derived from ancient'ondowments, nnd $11,255,255 from endowment
since the Reformation. The Bum of $27,226,490
ia raised ovory year by voluntary contributions,
and the State gives $2,542,995 in aid
of tlie
education of the poor. The Loudon Church Societies contribute $2,000,000 a year. The taxes
on tho endowments of the clergy amount to
63,570,215 a year. Tbe Church schools cost annually $15,2-7,855, of which the State given
$2,542,995 tho payment of parents amount to

“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."

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.

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

The Rev. W.E. Fletcher.
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.

Hawaiian Bible Dictionary.—A volume
of four hundred pages, neatly printed and
illustrated, has recently been printed in New
York for the Hawaiian Board. 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.

THE FRIEND,
Akciint Am-arci. in Notes on Arotjric.n-Arcbeßology
By J. D. Baldwin, A. M , sothor of Pre-hiatorir
Nations." With Ulaitrationa. New York Harper
Brothers. 1872.
"
*In the August number of the lYiend for
1870 we noticed " Pre-hislonc Nations," by
this author. That volume related to the Old
World. 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-

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

method of recreation. .Suppose, Honolulu

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

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

its people; lias a parental care nnd watch

and would revolt from the offer of a piece of
money. The desifc to oblige is universal,

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

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.

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

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.

“Mens Sana in Corpora Sano.”
The philosophy of morals is better understood now than it was a few decades ago.
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.

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

There,most unexpectedly, we met tbe Rev. Messrs.

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.

with tbe condition and history of tbe people, and

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

''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,
:
"

He alao added the remaining versos of the

Madagascar Revisited.
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

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

enthusiasm wblcb characterized bis youth, when

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

Wreck of the "Queen of the East."—
Captain Stoddard, lately master of this vessel, arrived in the Nebraska, bound East. 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. The speaker's experience and
observations in Honolulu, and upon the
islands, during the past quarter of a century,
enabled him to make a strong appeal to his
audience. The next speaker, we learn, will
be C, J. Lyons, Esq.

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. Were the Fathers to dc-

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

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."

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.

—
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. Y. Daily Timet.

weather after reaching the Pacific, and fell In with sperm
whales three times, towards night lo each Instance, and although the boats lowered for them, they were compelled to return to the ship without an opportunity of getting fast, as the
"critters" were progressing to windward rather hurriedly,
evidently with the Intention of Joining "a convention of

potatoes and otherrecruits, remaining there two dayi and obtaining all requisite supplies for the voyage North at rates
quite as reasonable and satisfactory aa tbey can he obtained

taken up. 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. Paris should be constituted hesfl
of the Institution, and Rev. L. Smith, D.D., Sal
B. W". Parker, and Rev. H. H. Parker, assooiat 1
with him in tbe instruction, together with »»*■
other assistant* as may be needed..
7. Therefore, It is referred to the Hawaiia™
Board of thi* Association, to seek a proper sit*
for this School, and to commence the School at a*
early a date as possible, not later than tbe end of
1872.

One of the early fruits of missionary labor
at the Gilbert Islands, has also been removed
from earth's toils and troubles to enter, we
hope, tbe haven prepsred for those who love
the crucified One. 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

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

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,

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.

There are three churches in this group,
with a membership of 86. 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

needs is a missionary and wile to live among

have become lukewarm, and have gone back
to heathenism. This, however, is not the

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.

General Letter of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association.
Our Association met in the Lecture Room !
of Kawaiuhao Church, on the 11th of June,
at 10 o'clock, A. M., according to adjournment.
After organizing, it being the day set
apart to commemorate the Reign of Knmehamcha the First, it was voted unanimously
to devote a part of the day to prayer and supplication to Almighty God for the reigning
Sovereign and the Nation.

From the Association of the Foreign Even,

Walter Freer, and the Rev. D. Dole—were

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.

Rev. A. O. Forbes, assisted by Maikaimoku.

year. 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.

THE PRESS.
Our Hawaiian newspapers, the Kuokoa and
tbe Alaula, or Morning Star, have had a wide
circulation. The former is very popular, and
has a circulation of nearly 4000 copies.
They are both messengers of light and Lore,
cheering tbe hearts of thousands at home,
and encouraging our missionaries abroad in
Nuuhiva and Micronesia.
The circulation of the Sacred Scriptures
has obtained to a considerable extent. But
we fear there are many houses still in darkness, without the Lamp of Life. 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.

THE FRIEND.
MAY 1. 18T».
Mr. Webb's Mission to Australia.
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.

LKTTRR rSOM AN OLD NAVIGATOR—HK CWTICISKS
MR. PAVY'S PLAN.
Honolulu, March 16, 1872.
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,
:

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."

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.

the Protestants. 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.

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.—

TBE FRIEND, MAY, 1871.
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.

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.

We have thus far as an organization, except in providing a Reading Hoom, done little for the stranger young men who have

sociation, it becomes my duty to present a
statement of what we have done during the
year. 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.

visitors to the Sandwich Islands were so
gifted as to express their sentiments in poetical effusions, we are confident they would
vie with " B."—an Englishman—in their
admiration of island scenery. A visit to the

a most pleasing and happy impression upon

Such playful remarks may pass, when ntiered

The remark, however, to which we would

ordination services of the Bishop elect of
Honolulu, and in the presence of '• the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London,
Winchester and Rochester, Dr. Staley," and

excursions, we have thoughtfully compared
those cities with Honolulu and the islands
generally. The result of this comparison is
stated above, and we are fully prepared to
prove the truthfulness of the statement by an
appeal to facts. 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 Rev. Mr. Codrington, head
of the Melanesian Mission, is at present in
Australia.— Sydney Morning Herald, Feb. 12.

While Parton treated the use of tobacco

TIE FRIEND, APRIL, 1812.
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.—

French newspaper published at Tahiti.

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.

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."

youth wait sent to the United States, where he received a
thorough classical education, and afterwards traveled for mmm
time In Europe, acquiring with remarkable facility the French
nnd Spanish language*, to which he subsequently added soirconsiderable knowledge of the German. Returning to the islands he embarked In mercantile pursuits, with varying ourocas, uniil in 1862 he took up the study of Isw. Gifted hy nature with a clear and logical mind and quickness of prrrcp
lion, he applied himself with earnest industry totherturl\,
and In a remarkably brief period could with truth be termed a
well read lawyer. In 1860 he received the appointment of
Police Magistrate for this city, Ihe duties of which he discharged during his tight yesrs of Incumbency in a aianrwr
that gave the fullest satisfaction to his superiors and lo the
community at large. On ihe 16th of February, 1864, he w»k

both in tbe Hawaiianond English languages, the PenalLaws

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
