With this number closes another year and
volume of The Friend. We have endeavored to fulfill our promise to the public and our
subscribers by furnishing a paper on the first

hope our subscribers will promptly pay the

and if so inclined will aid forward the enterprise by donationsas well as regular subscriptions. During the year we have not failed to
scatterabroadamongseamen and others about
500 copies of each number as issued. Vessels of war have been regularly supplied as
well as all other vessels.
We would acknowledge for this purpose
during the past month $5.00 from Dr. Hoffmann and 55.00 from Capt. McKenzie, and
also t5.00 for the Bethel from the last mentioned. May we not expect similar donations from others who have been successful
during their last Northern cruise ? '

TWO GERMAN
CRUSOES
In the Atlantic, about midway between
the coast of South America and the Cape of
Good Hope, in 37 ° 6' south latitude, lies
the island of Tristan da Cunha, with two
lesser islands in its neighborhood. The
Challenger, H. M. ship, commanded by
Captain Nares, now on a scientific expedition, reached Tristan da Cunha late at night,
on the 14th October, 1873. Next morning,
a landing was effected, a,nd the island, which
is nineteen or twenty miles in circumference,
was found to have a, settlement of eighty
souls in all. The history of this little colony is curious. In 1816, a company of British artillery was stationed on the island, with
a view to keep watch on Napoleon Bonaparte, then in captivity in St. Helena. It
seems almost ridiculous to have taken this
precaution, for St. Helena is about thirteen
hundred miles distant, and one would think
the guard could have been of no avail. Perhaps it was thought, that in the various mad
schemes to rescue Napoleon, Tristan da
Cunha might have been made a base of
operations. When the illustrious captive
died in 1821, the British soldiers were withdrawn, leaving only a corporal of the name
of Glass, with one or two companions, to
take charge of the small fort that had been

to drive them from
the island. Probably the
Tristan da Cunha people considered that
their residing on the island interfered with
their hunting ground; at all events, after
their kindness to them on arriving on the
island, their conduct was at least inexplicable.
"In February, potatoes and other vegetables, mixed with pigs' fat, formed their daily
feed ; but in inarch, that food being exhausted, another visit was paid to the plateau, and
the goats were then missed, which they had
abstained from shooting, but they shot several pigs. At this time, their one great comfort, tobacco, failed, and this to a German is
more than we English should feel; they
tried to replace it by dried leaves, but without success.
" The dogs which they had brought on
shore broke loose, and played sad havoc
among the penguins, killing great numbers,
and as one was apparently mad, the three
were shot. It was now decided that the
brothers should separate for a time, the elder
to remain on the plateau to provide food,
whilst the younger remained below to melt
down and store the fat, and attend to the
clearing; the want of salt prevented curing
the flesh.
Three young pigs had been
caught and got down the cliffs without injury,
then secured to a cask and towed round the
point, but were nearly drowned on their passage; they were placed in a sty, and fed with
grass and what could be spared from the
garden, and also with penguins' eggs, when
procurable.
"At the end of April, the elder rejoined
the younger, and in the attempt to convey
two more pigs round the bluff, was nearly
drowned; the pigs were. In June, Frederic again went to the plateau, and remained there until the 18th of August; the
brothers were not altogether without communication during that time, for, excepting
when the noise of.the wind or surf prevented, they could hold a kind of conversation. In June, July, and August, they lived
on pigs' flesh only ; the penguins then began
to lay, and in their eggs they had abundance
of food.'
Evidently, this precarious mode of life
could not last. The brothers had made a
grievous mistake in not following out their
original intention of selling in Tristan da
Cunha, and subsequently they committed a
serious blunder in not taking the earliest
opportunity of leaving a spot where they endured a series of extraordinary hardships.
"At length they had the good fortune to
be happily rescued. The captain of the
Challenger, when at Tristan da Cunha,
having heard that two Germans had landed
on Inaccessible Island, twenty miles to the
south-west, two years previously, feared they
were in difficulties, and went to their succor.

The ship arrived at the island on the 16th
October, found the two unfortunate exiles,
took them on board, and carrying them off,

published in Melbourne :

do not wonder that ignorant minds are
filled with superstitious ideas, and neither do
we wonder that it is so difficult to eradicate
superstition from the minds of ignorant
Hawaiians and other people. There recently occurred a scene in Honolulu, eminently calculated to foster superstition
among the ignorant. Thunder storms are not
frequent in this latitude, but still when they
do occur the lightning and thunder are terrific. On the day appointed for the removal
of the remains of His late Majesty, Lunalilo,
from the Royal Mausoleum to the new Tomb
erected in the yard of the Stone Church,
there occurred a thunder storm of marked
power. Volley after volley resounded through
the heavens, and then there was a momentary cessation. Just, however, as the long

perance errand, merits a warm welcome from
us. The words used by Dr. Stanley, father
of the present Dean of Westminster, respecting Father Mathew, when he visited
Norwich, might, substituting Melbourne for
Norwich, most appropriately be employed in
receiving Mr. Hastings. " Men of Norwich,"
said the good Bishop, " I appeal to you—
and I trust that my appeal shall nut be in
vain—receive this wanderer on a sacred
mission from a distant country; receive him,
and give him a Christian welcome, for he
has come on a Christian mission." Our visitor is a deacon of a Congregational Church,

Son. Why should not other German Houses,
doing business at our group, assist Judge
Fornander ?
Since writing the above paragraphs, in
which we venture to predict that other books
on Polynesia will be written, the Advertiser
has appeared with a notice of at least three
forthcoming works on topics relating to Polynesia. These notices appear in a London
correspondent's letter. We learn that F.
Birgham is the writer, a German gentleman,
who spent a few years in Honolulu. We
copy as follows:
At the meeting of the British Association,
in the Anthropological section, the Rev.
Wyatt Gill, who has lived upwards of twenty
years in the Hervey Islands, combated Mr.
Wallaces's theory of the origin of the Polynesians Mr. Gill holds, that the present
race entered the Pacific from the southeast
fork of New Guinea, but were driven eastward by the fierce Negrito race. The greatest
distance from land to land, which they would
have to travel in their eastward passage,
would be from Samoa to the Hervey group,
a distance of only about 700 miles. Mr.
Gill will also shortly publish a book on the
Songs and Myths of the South Pacific,"
"with
a preface by Max Muller, the celebrated

over 1000 fathoms of water about 500 yards

Some persons are asking, " Why write so
many books about Polynesia ?" We answer,
because it is a most fruitful theme upon
which to exercise the pen of the ethnologist,
philologist, historian, missionary, and lover
of general literature. We make no hesitation in hazarding the remark, that the books
already published are only a tythe of what
will be written.
Judge Fornander, on Maui, has the manuscript of a new book, nearly ready for the
press. Its title, Origin and Migrations of
the Polynesian Race, and the Ancient
History of the Hawaiian People to the
Times of Kamehameha I.
Here you see, reader, that Judge Fornander has entered an entirely new field, and
boldly pushed his way into prehistoric ages.
If we have a correct idea of this book, it is
based upon an examination and comparison
of the meles," or ancient songs of Polynesians living on various groups of islands in linguist.
,
"
the
North and South Pacific.
These meles
have been handed down from ancient times
—as were the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer
—before these islands were visited by missionaries and the dialects of Polynesia reduced to written forms. If we understand
the theory, these meles contain much in
common. Similar words can be traced from
one group to another, back to the Malay Islands, and from thence to languages spoken
by the inhabitants living around the Persian
Gulf.' A work of this nature must prove
intensely interesting to Max Muller and
other philologists. Dwight, in his " Modern
Philology," traces back the inflected languages of Europe to India, and now Mr.
Fornander, from the scattered elements of
Polynesian meles, frem ><n opposite part of
the world, runs past India and penetrates
the Persian Gulf.
We shall be surprised if he does not bring
forth from those olden times some treasures
of rare worth to the scholar and the historian. We hope he may find a publisher
who will issue the volume in good style, and
if a few hundred dollars are needed we
think some of our merchants might render a
little generous aid. We notice with pleasure

Micronesia, are publishing a series of illustrated works on natural history, relating to

Dana's " Corals and Coral Islands "
already appears in the second edition. The
missionaries of the South Pacific Islands
under, I believe, the direction of Mr. Turner,
the author of " Nineteen Years in Polynesia," arc about to compile a comparative
grammar and dictionary of Polynesian dialects. Some of the languages spoken in the
Polynesian group possess words of the greatest interest to the comparative philologist,
and it is to be hoped that the linguistic
labors of the missionaries of the Pacific will
throw more light on the origin of the Polynesian races.

Challenger. The captain and officers have
done kind services to our missionaries at
some places where they have touched, especially in refitting our steamer at New Guinea
after her stormy voyage from England to
Cape York, and it is a pleasure to me to aid
in promoting the object of their visit to Tahiti. The ship Challenger arrived here on
the 18th inst., after a passage, I believe, of
30 days from your port. On arrival here
the captain intended to remain only a week,

The
and sea " monsters " for Prof. Agassiz, has scientific corps have divided themselves out
found liberal patrons' in J. C. Godeffroy k in companies, and have explored many parts
'
in dredging.
On approaching the islands 4S hours before their arrival they found a depth of 2300
fathoms, 24 hours afterwards, at a distance
of about 10 miles from land, they found a
depth of only 1500 fathoms, which would
seem to indicate that there is a gradual slope
from the land, and that our mountains are
the tops of submerged mountain ranges of
immense height.
Other items of news of the port are that
the Gallissionere, the iron clad corvette,
bearing the flag of the French Admiral Perigot, left our station on a cruise on the 15th
inst., after a stay of 71 days in pr.rt. We
have also the English ship Eddystone here
discharging cargo. She arrived here from
Roza Island with guano on April 11th. and
after discharging a portion of her cargo and
undergoing considerable repairs, left again
for Queenstown, Ireland, on July 28th, having left about 400 tons of her cargo behind,
but in 48 hours after her departure she reappeared, having sprung a fresh leak, and
that a much worse one than that by which
she was compelled to take refuge in the first
place in our harbor. She has now nearly
discharged and will, I expect, be condemned.
Another leaky ship came into port on the
16th of July, the American whaling bark
Selali, she had a large quantity of sperm oil
on board, which was forwarded to San Francisco by our mail vessel Percy Edward early in August. The Selah was condemned,
and has subsequently been sold by auction
and realized $510. It appears she experienced very heavy weather off Pitcaims Island. The captain had two whales alongside
when he was overtaken by the gale, they
managed however to save the whales, but
the vessel was so much shaken that they
could not keep at sea without great risk of
losing the vessel and their own lives, so they
bore down for Tahiti.
On the evening of the 18th an amateur
soiree and magic lantern exhibition was
given in the enclosure of the French Protestant School here on behalf of the inundation
fund, and the success was very encouraging.
The band from the Challenger enlivened the
scenes, and every one who attended was
well pleased, and the proceeds amounted to
about 1200 francs. The idea was conceived
by the Rev. Ch. Virnot, the director of the
school. Commandant and Queen with all
the officials were present, as also Captain
Thomson, Prof. Thomson, and many other
gentlemen from the Challenger.

of December for 17,500. The purchasers
were Messrs. Pope & Talbot, Portland, (J.,

Phenomena of the Elements.—On Tuesday, while
the remains of tbe late King were en route for the
tomb at Kawaiahao, a heavy thunder storm passed
over this city,—tome of tbe claps would have done
honor to the locality of Cape Hatteras, famed for tbe
superiority of its thunder and lightning. And on
the same day, in the channel between Oahu and
Kauai, several large and perfect water-spouts were
seen. All of which, say tbe more superstitious of

Temperance Among the Soldiers in India.
A young man, who was formerly connected with an American vessel ol war, touching
at Honolulu, and now in the employ of a
railroad company in Northern India, thus
writes from Lahore, under date of August
14th, 1875:
I have just returned from a prayer-meeting" among the soldiers. Tne first question
1 found in agitation when I arrived, was of
the Bible on the temperance question. One
of the officers of the Native Infantry, who*ls
a most earnest and serious Christian, having
succeeded in prevailing upon the Colonel to
make the Temperance Society a regimental
affair, said : ' Now boys, we must have the
open Bible on the table. The Catholic Chaplain has forbidden those of his Church to
join us, it can give no offence now. All who
come must be men to whom the Bible is the
standard of their faith, so let us have it and
have it open. We see how men fail in their
own strength, but they will not, cannot slip,
if our Great Commander leads the way.'
" The men heartily concurred with him in
this most desirable arrangement, and I am
certain its being carried out will add to the
discomfiture of the cursed liquor traffic. An
officer gave us a very earnest and impressive
lecture on St. Paul's conversion, after which
a German lady, Miss Seeley, prayed fervently. We then sang several hymns, and parted with a cordial good night. Thus you see
we have not been left in this hard, cold and
Mahommedan and Hindoo land without
light, and Christ has witnesses."
" Hold the Fort."
In the CatskiU Recorder of the 16th ult.,
we find a report of an address made by the
Rev. J. B. Thompson, D. D., at a Sunday
school anniversary of the Reformed Church,
held on the late national anniversary. In this
address is given the fullest and most interesting account we have seen of the origin
and associations of one of the most remarkable hymns used by Messrs. Moody and Sankey during their work in Great Britain. We
give some extracts from the address, and at
the close append the hymn :
" Sherman and his army had become quite
at home at Atlanta, and the General was
planning for his historic ' March to the Sea.'
But the enemy gave him enough else to
think about at that time. Small garrisons
had been left at every exposed point on the
line ofrailroad all the way from Chattangooga
to Atlanta; and now the enemy, swinging
round from the front, was marching to sever
his connections in the rear. Sherman turned back, but was too late to intercept him.
Quick to meet emergencies, he climbed with
his signal corps to the top of Kenesaw mountain. In the valley below to the north were
the heavy masses of hostile infantry, artillery and cavalry, marching northward. He at
once inferred that they were moving on Allatoona, an important post on the railroad,
eighteen miles north. The telegraph wires
place had already been cut. But
from the top of Kenesaw Sherman signaled
over the heads of the enemy to the small
garrison at Ailatoona the fact of his approach.
The message sent by signal flag read, as reported, ' Hold the fort—l am coming'"
What a history these words have ! You
know what blessings have attended the evangelistic labors of Messrs. Moody and Sankey
in Great Britain, and their work is still
deepening and widening First and chief of
all the songs they sing is, " Hold the Fort."
It is the most popular melody in the United
Kingdom.

the writer of it required, as a condition of

Editor
:—Since the death of Mr.
Mr.
Ralston, late of the Bank of California, there
have appeared numerous biographies of him,
all more or less flattering and describing his
career as that of a very extraordinary man—
one worthy of imitation perhaps by the rising
generation. His portrait also occupies a
prominent position in public places, notably
in the bank of this city. But it strikes me
that the lesson to be learned from Ralston's
career,—particularly by young men, who in
the heat and hopefulness of youth are especially liable to be dazzled by the transient
glare of temporary distinction,—is one of
patience and prudence. It will be found that
it is better to feel our way as we go and be
sure of consequences, rather than to leap in
the dark with the expectation of alighting in
a valley of gold. We need neither envy nor
emulate the few who by the dashing and
dare-devil style of action win great fortunes
rapidly; for, while we only hear of those
who come out safely on the top of the tide,
the shores of trade are strewn with the
wrecks of their fellows who likewise ventured their all upon what they supposed the
flood-tide of fortune and failed, not for want
of executive ability, but simply because the
chances in their favor failed. There is a
general law of certain factors, probably pro-

tained through these notices, of the subjectmatter of Hindoo poetry, upon which 200-000,000 of the inhabitants of India, have
for ages feasted—morally and intellectually.
Is it any wonder the people of India are
sunken in the depths of superstition and
idolatry, when such poems are to them what
the Old Testament is to the Jew, the New
Testament to the Christian, and the Koran
to the Mohammedan ? Our Saviour said,
quoting from Moses, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." The soul of
man needs wholesome spiritual food, that
food is not in the two great poems of
India, in the Arabian Nights Entertainment,
Hawaiian Meles, or any merely human productions; but is to be found alone in the
Bible. We think our correspondent has
most admirably put the point in the closing
paragraphs of his communication. Never do

rating and life-inspiring food for meditation
and reflection as in the parables and teachings of our Saviour; in " the story ef the
cross;" in the narrative of Jesus speaking
with the Samaritan woman at the well, and
that of Mary bathing the Savior's feet with
her tears; in the interview of Jesus and
INicodemus ; in the epistles of Paul and
Peter; and the penitential Psalms of David,
together with the writings of the Old Testament Prophets? We may go to India, to
Greece, and the wide world's literature for
information and amusement, instruction and
knowledge; but no human author can authoritatively say to us," Come unto me, and I
will give you rest."
Our attention was suddenly arrested
a few days since by a merry jingling of the
church bells of Honolulu, and we were at a
loss to account for the reason, but the following announcement in the " Court Journal
"
made all satisfactory :

HINDOO POETRY.
Lanai, October 21st, 1575.
Dear Friend:—l have read with interest
and some surprise in your October number,
extracts from a notice of the two great poems
of Hindoostan, the Mahabarata and the
Ramayana, by Prof. Arnold of Oxford University, which are represented by him as
marvelous treasures of literature, hitherto
utterly unknown to the European mind, and
"which may claim a grander scheme and
higher aims thnn either," (the Iliad or the
Odyssey) and " which, in some portions,
may be contrasted to the advantage of Hindoo teaching, with any Scriptural representation of Death and of Love."
These prolix epics of the Sanscrit, or
ancient Dewanagari tongue of Hindoostan,
cannot be so much unknown to Western
intelligence as dfe Professor represents.
When I made an enforced stay on the island
of Java, I had some leisure and opportunity
lor study; and among other matters, 1 perused a voluminous story, named the Barataynda or Sacred war, both in the Javanese
language, and in an English translation by
Sir Stamford Raffles, of which extracts are
to be found in his history of Java. This
story is a Javanese epitomized version of the
Sanscrit Mahabarata; and this Hindoo poem
is read by natives of Java, both in the original of the Asiatic continent, and in their
own insular tongue—and consequently is
well known to—and frequently mentioned
by English and Dutch writers in India, such
as Raffles, Crawford, Van Carnbee, and
many others.
The sister poem of the Indian Peninsula,
the Ramayana is better Awn than the
Mahabarata, not only to the Javanese, but to,
the Malay people of the Indian Archipelago j
and must be rather familiar to European,
scholars and readers. I read the Malay,
version of this poem, vfhich consists mainly
of an account of the rambles and adyentures
of the hero Sri Rama, or Illustrious Rama
�I

III:
in search of his wife Sita ; and in this respect
the Hamayana may be said to bear some resemblance to the Odyssey which celebrates
the adventures of the Grecian hero Ulysses
in quest of his wife Penelope.
But surely such a resemblance ; and because the Mahabarata celebrates a war, even
as the Iliad celebrates a war, are not sufficient reasons for comparing the Indinn
poems with the Grecian epics, and for naming the former compositions the " Iliad and
Odyssey of India." What ground is there
for the flaming eulogy of the Hindoo vaticinations, to the disparagement of the beautiful and majestic genius of Greece ? Is it
in consequence of quantity? And because
250,000 Indian verses, so greatly overreach
the 30,000 Grecian lines? Why, I know a
Hawaiian mele writer who could produce
and print 250,000 lines about "Serpent
Kingdoms containing " one hundred thou-
"
sand snakemen," and other such rigmarole
ds is found in the Mahabarata and quoted by
Arnold in no very considerable length of
time. Is the Hindoo imagination about the
"Aswamedha, or Sacrifice of the Sacred
Horse," an animal which had " milk flowing
from its ears, and produced camphor in its
flesh, and from whose intestines light beamed
and flashed," any less extravagant and absurd than the Hawaiian conception of a half
sheep and half man adventuring through
kingdoms in the air? Then why this extravagant laudation of certain Asiatic compositions, said to be so long hidden from
Western intelligence ? And what can warrant such language as Professor Arnold uses,
and which I have alreatta quoted—disparaging the masterpieces of the mind of Greece,
and even the inspired Volume of God ?
Professor Arnold is evidently one of the
school of thinkers who mock at the Biblical
"
legend;" and who like Strauss in his " Old
Faith and the New," would substitute Cosmism, a worship of science and art, and a
scheme of life derived from the theory of
evolution in the stead of Divine Revelation
and Redemption. Such thinkers elated with
the pride of intellectual culture, scorn the
" legend " that reduces all mankind to one
common level through sin. They believe
in aristocracies of soul, and disdain the humiliation, contrition and tears of the sinner.
Their prophets and poets, like Strauss and
Goethe, teach that man can save himself, or
lead humanity to a higher plane of existence
through the ptffaction of knowledge. And
hence they hatftbove all things the story of
the Cross, and delight to attempt its disparagement by laudations—sometimes of Gredan genius, or as in this instance of Hindoo
mythology and cosmogony, or of Confucian
moralizing*, or of Zoroastrian rhapsodies, or
of Vedic myths, Runic Sagas, or

Honorable Mr. Plimsoll will have, no doubt,
a place in the history of English shipping
and commerce. After referring to the discussion in England and relating to unseaworthy ships, this writer continues thus :
The above suggests a possible scene, say
in 2575 a. d., between an ingenuous youth
and a teacher in history. Teacher: "So
these rich men were in the habit of sending
their ships to sea till they were worn out
and rotten ; and if when the sailors found
they were unsafe ihey refused to go in them,
they were put in prison and punished ; and
very many of these ships went down, and
thousands of sailors perished. And at last
a man named Plimsoll found these things
out, and went into the Great Council of the
People, and told of them." Ingenuous
Youth: "And what did the Council do 7 "
Teacher: " They said they had other things
attend to, and that it was very wicked of
Plimsoll to lose his temper and speak disrespectfully." Youth: But wasn't England
a Christian nation ? " Teacher: "Oh yes,
" and spent vast sums
a very Christian nation,
to maintain Christianity. But at this time,
part of the church were very busy in preventing a Wesleyan minister from putting
'Rev.' before his name on his daughter's
tombstone ; and part were contending about
which side of the table the priest ought to
stand at the Lord's Supper; and so the
church couldn't pay much attention to the
sailors." Youth: "And what became of
Plimsoll and what became of the church ? "
—What the teacher will have to answer, remains to be seen.

Pure religion and undeflled before God, the Father, is this:
To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
EdbaiCteomyCMYhf.eA.
Some Time.
Some time, when all life's lessons have been learned,
And suns nnd stars forevermore have set.
The things whioh our weak judgments here have
spurned.
The things o'er whiob we grieved with lashes wet,
Will Huh before ns, and light life's dark night.
As stars shine most in deeper lints of bine;
And we shall see how all Qod's plans were right,
And what most seemed reproof was love most true.
And we shall see, how. while we frown and sigh,
God's plans go on as best for yon and me;
How, when we called, he heeded not our cry,
Because his wisdom to tbe end could see;
And c'en as prudent parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things because it seemth good.
And yon shall shortly know that lengthened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend.
And that sometimes the sable pall of death
Conceals the fairest boon his love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life.
And stand within, and all God's working see.
We could interpret all Ibis doubt and strife,
And for eaoh mystery could find a key.
But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart!
God's plans, like lilies, pure and white unfold.
We roust not tear the close-shut leaves apart:
Time will reveal tho calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toil, we reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest.
Where we shall dearly know and understand,
I think that we shall say, •• God knew the best."
—Helen Hunt.
" God Tempers the Wind
to the Shorn
Lamb."
The touching truthfulness of this sentiment has been called to mind while listening
to the story of shipwreck and exposure off
Cape Horn, from the lips of Mrs. Groves,
wife of Captain Groves of the Albert Gallatin. In the very depth of a Cape Horn
winter, with wind blowing a living gale,"
"
amid thunder, lightning and storm, they were
compelled to embark in an open boat, and then
for eighteen days to be exposed to alternate
snow storms and hail; now landing on rocky
shores, sleeping among rocks, and then embarking, yet compelled to subsist, one hardly
knew how! Yet, out of all these hardships
the delicate mother, with an infant in her
arms, came forth in health and safety. Verily may we .say with David—" Thy way is
in the sea, and thy path in the great waters,
and thy footsteps are not known." Mrs.
Groves and her two children are now stopping at the Sailors' Home; and the ladies of
Honolulu are doing ajl in their power for
thejr comfort.
Rev. W. Spear, D.D.
The visit of this gentleman at Honolulu
from San Francisco will be remembered.
His interest in behalf of the Chinese of California is well known. He once edited the
Oriental partly in Chinese and partly in
English, and was for many yeara a missionary in China, where he acquired an intimate
acquaintance with the language and people,
as appears from his book entitled " Chirm
and the United States." We are glad to
learn from a late number of the New York
Observer, that he has resigned his position
as secretary wsfthe Presbyterian Board of
Education in Philadelphia, and will resume
labor in behalf of the Chinese. This is as
it should be. Many others may act as secretary of the Board, but few are so well fitted
to labor for the Chinese. The editor of
the Observer remarks as follows :
" He does not propose to return to China,
but to devote himself to the benefit of the
Chinese in this country, by writing and lecturing. Because of his acquaintance with
the language, character and habits of this
people, he is peculiarly adapted to a labor in
their behalf such as he proposes, and which
has been urged upon him by others."
with a stronger sense of humanity than is
often practiced by nations claiming a higher
degree of civilization, forbade the vessel
leaving the harbor with the coolies on board,
and insisted that they should be set free.
Further, Japan provided the unfortunates
with a passage to their homes in China. The
Government of Peru claimed damages from
the Government of Japan for the course pursued, and sent two iron-dads to enforce the
demand. By the intervention of the English
and American legations at Yeddo. an agreement was brought about by which the whole
subject was referred to ihe Emperor of
Russia for arbitration.
The award of the Emperor Alexander
completely justifies Japan in the proceedings
taken, and declares the government not responsible to Peru for the consequences
brought about by the stay of the Maria
Ijuz in the port of Yokohama. This verdict
will go a long way toward bringing the
coolie traffic into greater disrepute than it is
even at present. Before the award was
given, the action of the government of the
Mikado had resulted in robbing the trade of
some of its horrors. It led to treaties between
China, Peru and Portugal, under which all
three governments undertook to exercise supervision, so as to prevent anything like the
abuses which were shown attached to the
shipment of coolies carried by the Maria
Luz. Coolieism under nny form, is bad

Southern Ocean, even in higher latitudes,
and this, modifying still further the reflux

appear to account for the well-known moderation of the Sandwich Islands climate,
though they lie within the tropic of Cancer.
In rending this paper of Dr. Carpenter,
and noting the amount of information derived from the cruises of the U.S. S. Titscontra and H. B. M. S. Challenger, we
could not but deplore the fact that more of
our national vessels in times of pe.ice were

What Causes the Mildness of Our Climate?
Dr. Carpenter read an interesiing paper
More the Royal Geographical Society in
London June 2Sth, which is reported in the
August number of the Geographical Magazine. This paper was based upon the observations taken by the Challenger and
Tuse.arora. Among the conclusions drawn
from these observations, Dr. Carpenter advances the theory, that the mildness of our
climate on the Sandwich Islands is owing not
so much to "currents" in the atmosphere as
to " currents "in the ocean. He argues that
the glacial current from the south pole is
vastly operative in the North Pacific !
We copy as follows from Dr. Carpenter's
report:
The observations taken along the northern
fine nppear to point out that in the North
Pacific there is the general want of that sub-
surface stratum of above 40 ° F., which in
the North Atlantic under the same or yet
higher parallels has a thickness of at least
600 fathoms. The true cause of this peculiarity is that the North Pacific derives its
deep stratum of glacial water, which nearly
fills its basin, from the Polar area of the opposite hemisphere, the inlet at Behring's
Straits being too narrow and too shallow to
admit a flow of water of any appreciable importance. This northward flow of water
from the Equator must have as its complement a movement of the superficial stratum
from the northermost limit of this flow
ttnrarth the Southern Pole. The alacial
We take much pleasure in copying
from the London leisure Hour a beautiful
poem, suggested by a remarkable incident in
Hawaiian history nnd the life of the chiefess
Kapiolani. This incident is one which is
well calculated to give inspiration to the
poet. Some years ago we published a similar poem upon the same theme, written by
an English clergyman, the Rtyr. Robert
Grant, 8.C.L., fellow of Winchester College,
&c. See Friend for August, 1866. Lord
Byron, (cousin of the poet) when he visited
the islands, becoming acquainted with the
facts, thus comments upon the same event
as one of the greatest acts of moral courage which lias perhaps ever been performed ;

AN ENGLISHWOMAN ON HAWAII.
Some months ago we copied some extracts
from Miss Bird's book, but on giving the
volume a second reading, we meet scores of
paragraphs and passages which we should
be glad" to republish in our columns. It is a
book of genius; it is a prose-poem. Some
of her descriptions of mountain and "valley
scenery are exquisitely beautiful and truthful.
She revels in the beauties of wild nature.
English naval officers (us we happen to
know) sitting around their mess-table and
touching their champagne glasses, may smile
at what they style Miss Bird's descriptions
as good specimens of " gush " in literature,
but until they explore our mountains and
valleys on horseback, and aftei a hard day's
ride of forty miles over the rough and rugged
lava roads of Hawaii, can sit down in a
native hut hy the dim light of an old lamp,
and write such letters ns this volume contains, we think 'these critics may modestly
withhold their supercilious comments.
Miss Bird came to the islands an invalid,
and totally ignorant of what they contained.
She came, too, with perhaps a tinge of prejudice, and at first thought of spending only a
month, making merely a rapid trip to the
crater of Kilauea; but how changed her
plans, when with.the eye of a poet, a naturalist and a scientist, she began her explorations. For months she roamed over the
islands, and this volume of letters to her
sister in England, are the "jottings " which
she noted from day to day. They partake
of the sweet perfume of the fields and the
woods, the valleys and the mountains. We
regret that our book-sellers are so tardy in
placing the volume upon their counters. A
few copies were received by the last steamer,
and ore for sale at Thrum's, and we learn
that Whitney expects some by the next
arrival from San Francisco. When we first
glanced over this book, we were so much
pleased with its contents that we ordered
from London, by mail, three copies to be

forwarded to friends in the United States,
and the remaining copy now lies before us.
Our limits only allow us to copy a few
paragraphs relating to. her second trip to
Hawaii and her ascent of Mauna Kea. But
few foreign ladies can pride themselves upon
having ascended this rugged and steep
mountain:
I delight in Hawaii more than ever, with
its unconveniential life, great upland sweeps,
unexplored forests, riotous breezes, and general atmosphere of freedom, airiness, and expansion. As I find that a lady can travel
nlone with perfect safety, I have many projects in view, but whatever 1 do or plan to
do, I find my eyes always turning to the
light on the top of Mauna Loa I know
that the ascent is not feasible for me, and
that so far as I am concerned the mystery
must remain unsolved; but that glory, nearly
14,000 feet aloft, rising, falling, "a pillar of
cloud by day nnd a pillar of fire by night,"
uplifted in its awful loneliness above all
human interests, has an intolerable fascination. As the twilight deepens, the light
intensifies, and often as I watch it in the
night, it seems to flare up and take the form
of a fiery palm-tree. No one has ascended
the mountain since the activity began a
month ago; but the fire is believed to be in
,
loneliest, saddest, dreariest expanse I ever
saw.
The aii was clear and the sun bright, yet
•othing softened into beauty this formless
desert of volcanic, sand, stones, and lava, on
which tufts of grass and a harsh scrub war
with wind and drought for a loveless existence. Yet, such is the effect of atmosphere,
that Mauna Loa, utterly destitute of vegetation, nnd with his sides scored and stained
by the black lava-flows of ages, looked like
a sapphire streaked with lapis lazuli. Nearly
blinded by scuds of sand, we rode for hours
through the volcanic wilderness; always.the
same rigid ntamane, (Sophora Chrysophylla ?) the same withered grass, and the
same thornless thistles, through which the
strong wind swept a desolate screech.
The trail, which dips 1,000 feet, again
ascends, the country becomes very wild,
there are ancient craters of great height
densely wooded, wooded ravines, the great
bulk of Mauna Kea with his ragged crest
towers above tumbled rocky regions, which
look as if nature, disgusted with her work,
had broken it to pieces in a passion; there
are living and dead trees, a steep elevation,
and below, a broad river of most jagged and
uneven a-a. The afternoon fog, which
serves instead of rain, rolled up in dense
masses, through which we heard the plaintive bleating of sheep, and among blasted
trees and distorted rocks we came upon
old traditional crater of Mokuaweoweo,
"inthe
Kalaieha.
a region rarely visited by man."
A few dnys ago 1 was so fortunate as to
make the acquaintance of Mr. W. L. Green
(now Minister of the Interior), an English
resident in Honolulu, a gentleman of wide
scientific and literary culture, one of whose
objects in visiting Hawaii is the investigation of certain volcanic phenomena. He
asked me to make the ascent of Mauna Kea
with him, and we have satisfactorily accom-
plished it to-day.
The interior of the island, in which we
have spent the last two days, is totally different, not only from the luxuriant windward
slopes, but from the fiery leeward margin.
The altitude of the central plateau is from
5,000 to 6,000 feet, there is not a single
native dwelling on it, or even a trail across
it, it is totally destitute of water, and sustains only a miserable scrub of matnane,
stunted ohias, pukeawe, ohelos, a few composite, and some of the hardiest ferns. The
transient residents of this sheep station, and
those of another on Hualalai, thirty miles
off, are the only human inhabitants of a
region as large as Kent. ' Wild goats, wild
geese (Berniclo. sar.dvicensis), and the Melithreptcs Pacifica, constitute its chief population. These geese are web-footed, though
water does not exist. They build their
nests in the grass, and lay two or three
white eggs.
Our track from Waimea lay for the first
few miles over light soil, destitute of any
vegetation, across dry glaring rocky beds of
streams, and round the bases of numerous
tufa cones, from 200 to 1,600 feet in height,
with steep smooth sides, composed of a very
red ash. We crossed a flank of Mauna Kea.
at a height of 6,000 feet, and a short descent
brought us out upon this vast table land,
which lies between the bulbous domes of
Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai, the
18 75.
Mauna Kea, and the forests which skirt
his base are the resort of thousands of wild
cattle, and there are many men nearly ns
wild, who live half savage lives in the woods,
gaining their living by lassoing and shooting
these animals for their skins. Wild black
swine also abound.
The mist as usual disappeared at night,
leaving a sky wonderful with stars, which
burned blue and pale against the furnace
glare on the top of Mauna Loa, to which we
are comparatively near. I woke at three
from the hopeless cold, and before five went
out with Mr. Green to explore the adjacent
lava. The atmosphere was perfectly pure,
and suflused with rose-color, not a cloudfleece hung round the mountain tops, hoarfrost whitened the ground, the pure white
smoke of the volcano rose into the reddening
sky, and the air was elixir. It has been said
and written that there are no steam-cracks
or similar traces of volcanic action on Mauna
Kea, but in several fissures I noticed ferns
growing belonging to an altitude 4,000 feet
lower, and on putting my arm down, found a
heat which compelled me to withdraw it,
and as the sun rose these cracks steamed in
all directions. There are caves full of ferns,
lava bubbles in reality, crust over crust, each
from twelve to eighteen inches thick, rolls of
lava cooled in coils, and hideous a-a streams
on which it is impossible to walk two yards
without the risk of breaking one's limbs or
cutting one's boots to pieces.
After riding steadily for six hours, our
horses, snorting and panting, and plunging
up to their knees in fine volcanic ash, and
halting, trembling and exhausted, every few
feet, carried us up the great tufa cone which
crowns the summit of this vast fire-flushed,
fire-created mountain, nnd we dismounted in
deep snow on the crest of the highest peak
in the Pacific, 13,953 feet above the sea.
This summit is a group of six red tufa cones,
with very little apparent difference in their
altitude, and with deep valleys filled with
red ash between them. The terminal cone
on which we were has no cavity, but most
of those forming the group, ns well as the
thirty which I counted around and below us,
ure truncated cones with craters within, and
with outer slopes, whose estimated angle is
about 30 ° On these slopes the snow lay
heavily. In coming up we had had a superb
view of Mauna Loa, but before we reached
the top, the clouds had congregated, and lay
in glistening masses all round the mountain
about half-way up, shutting out the smiling
earth, and leaving us alone with the view of
the sublime desolation of the volcano.
We only remained an hour on the top,
and came down by a very circuitous route,
which took us round numerous cones, nnd
.
over miles of clinkers varying in size from a
ton to a few ounces, and past a lake the
edges of which were frozen, and which in
itself is a curiousity, as no other part of the
mountain "holds water." Not far off is a
cave, a lava-bubble, in which the natives
used to live when they came up here to
quarry a very hard adjacent phonolite for
their axes and other tools. While the others
poked about, 1 was glad to make it a refuge
from the piercing wind. Hundreds of unfinished axes lie round the cave entrance,
and there is quite a large mound of unfinished chips.
This isa very interesting spot to Hawaiian
antiquaries. They argue, from the amount
of the chippings, that this mass of phonolite
was quarried for ages by countless generations of men, and that the mountain top
must have been upheaved, and the island
inhabited, in a very remote past. The stones
have not been worked since Captain Cook's
day; yet there is not a weather-stain upon
them, nnd the air is so dry and ratified that
meat will keep fresh for three months. 1
found a mass of crystals of the greenish
volcanic glass, called olivine, imbedded in a
piece of phonolite which looked as blue and
fresh as if only quarried yesterday.
We traveled for miles through ashes nnd
scoria;, and then descended into a dense
afternoon fog; but Mr. S. is a practiced
mountaineer, and never faltered for a moment, and our horses made such good speed
that late in the afternoon we were able to
warm ourselves by a gallop, which brought
us in here ravenous for supper before dark,
having ridden for thirteen hours. I hope 1
have made it clear that the top of this dead
volcano, whether cones or ravines, is deep
soft ashes and sand.
To-morrow morning I intend to ride the
thirty miles to Waimea with two native
women, and the next day to go off on my
adventurous expedition to Hilo, for which I
have bought for 846 a big, strong, heavy
horse, which I have named Kahele. He has
the poking head and unmistakable gait of a
bullock horse, but is said to be "a good
traveler."
A disposition to do good, and go forward
in duty, at any sacrifice, in the face of any
obstacle, is the best evidence of grace in the
heart.

Correspondent in Japan.
Kobe, Japan, Aug. 4th, 1875.
Ilea. S. C. Damon:—l suppose you will
be glad to hear of the recent movement at
Sanda, twenty miles northwest of Kobe.
On the 27th ult. a church was organized
there. While so much is being done to circulate the Bible, it is cheering to know how
the Gospel was first introduced at this station. Some ten or fifteen years ago a Bible
or two in Chinese was lelt there, by whom
we know not. The Daimio, being a liberal
man, did not hinder those who understood
that language from reading it. The number
who read or heard it grew large, and became
much interested in it. Hence when Mr. Dovis, two years ago, began to preach there,
they gladly received his message. And it
is said most of the church members of Kobe
were originally from Sanda; and now a
church of seven males and nine females has
just been organized there.
The house in which the church was organized has an interesting history. It is a
one-story building, probably 100 feet by 50,
covered with tile, and is said to have been
built three hundred years ago, (fifty years
before the pilgrims arrived in New England)
and to have been occupied, until the recent
revolution, by the Daimios, viz., governors
of that district. The last one now lives in
Kobe, and his mother is a member of the
church here. It was recently sold to a company in Sunda, who let out part of it for a
dispensary and hospital, and two large and

KAPIOLANI.
lii 1525, live years after the first missionaries landed in Hawaii, Kapiolani, a
woman of high rank, while living at Kaiwaoloa (where Captain Cook was murdered)
became a Christian. Grieving for her people, most of whom still feared to anger Pele,
she announced that it was her intention to
visit Kilauea (the largest known volcano),
and dare the fearful goddess to do her worst.
Her husband and many others tried to dissuade her, but she was resolute, and taking
with her a large retinue, she took a journey
of one hundred miles, mostly on foot, over
the rugged lava, till she arrived near the
crater. There a priestess of Pele met her,
threatened her with the displeasure of the
goddesa if she persisted, and prophesied that
she and her followers would perish miserably. Then, as now, ohelo berries grew profusely round the terminal wall of Kilauea,
and there, as elsewhere, were sacred to Pele,
no one daring to eat of them till he had first
offered some of them to the divinity. It
was usual on arriving at the crater to break
a br.inch covered with berries, and, turning
the face to the pit of fire, throw half the
branch over the precipice, saying, Pele,
'
here are your ohelos. I offer some to you,
•ionic I also eat;' afier which the natives
partook of tlicin freely. Kapiolani gathered
and ate them without this formula, after
which she and her company of eighty persons descended to the black edge of Haleluau-mau. There, in full view of the fiery
jut, she thus addressed her followers :
' JeIwivah is my God. He kindled these fires.

Pek\ then yo-*i may fear the power of Pele ;
but if I trust in Jehovah, and he should save

me from the wrath of Pele, then you must
fear and serve the Lord Jehovah. All the
gods of Hawaii are vain ! Great is Jehovah's goodness in sending teachers to turn
us from these vanities to the living God ! '
Then they sang a hymn. It was more sublime than Elijah's appeal on the soft green
slopes of Carmel."— The Hawaiian Archipe/<it/<>, by Isabella Bird.
It was a toilsome journey, league on league
Across the pathless wild. Three times Ihe nun
Above Ihe orient sens had climbed to noon,
Aud all the waters hound in girdling light,
Then traveled slowly to the golden west;
And distant still the mountain summit glowed,
With pulsing tire that mocked the night and man.
Now morning came beneath the plumy [alms,

In bonds more pot cut than the icy chaius
Of polar realms, —now rippled as wiih waves.
And rugged to the trend, now smooth lo tempt
A fall, —a vast expanse, where torrent strove
With torrent once, lending the mountain side.
And rolled destruction. Forms of beauty clung
About the fire-stained rocks, and waves of green
Contended with the grey, cold waves of stone;
And last, the fairy terns shook out their plumes
High overhead, as if to win the waste
With tender graces. Then, the scene all changed;
The ashen flood held sway unbroken, save
Where errant feed sought life, or scattered bush
Upbore the ruddy bam*, net l'elc loved.
The sacred berries, tinged with fiery red.
No bird with flashing wing made bright tho iiir.
Or dared those frowning heights with cheerful song;
No insect danced along the sunbeam's path.
Strange fumes swept downward, pungent lo Ihe sense
And sounds more awlul than the thunder-crash

Whoso spreading plains are furrowed with the deeds

A child of nature, summoned to purtaku

The rending earth compared with His dread step
W ho made all worlds ?
Yet Pele ruled the isles,
Seen only in the tierce volcano's flame,
Heard in its muttered thunders, felt when wroth
She scourged with lava coils the fair green bills;
A phantom goddess, terrible the more.
What marvel that Hawaia's simple race,
Untutored, trembled at the smoking mount,
Aud held it god-possest ? The mystic fires
Wrought ever upward from the central earth,
Resist less,—not the storm-lashed waves so shook

With shafts of day. Behold, the pslm-grovcs sway,
And smoking fall, while the hot torrent rolls

ltroad as some mighty river of the plains.
In rippling fire,—with voico of hurricauc;
A flaming cataract that sweeps to death
Man and all creatures, —leaping to the sea
With serpent hiss, in shock that rends the waves !
O Pele, goddess of the fire-crowned isles.
Clothed with the lightnings of unnumbered years,
Lives there the mortal who would brave thine ire?
Now Mauna Loa paled before tbe sun;
Its lofty dome against the azure sky
Hi-ought earth and heaven near, the peaceful heights
Where wiuds disturb not near to fire-built halls
Where nature languished iv convulsive strife.
The dread Kilauea from lowerrange
Its seething cauldrons opened to the day,
Aud mocked its glory; and dire Hale-mau-mau,
"The House of Eveilastiug Fire," so named
Of hoar tradition, spread its gates abroad
Aflame with splendor.
Pele's priestess came,
With demon glare, gaunt, haggard, clad in robe
The tires had fringed, and shrieked her curses, till
The painting smoke-clouds, sweeping downward,
[seemed
To breathe her fury.
Kapiolani drew
Her shudd'ring people to the crater's brink,
Where the fierce goddess slumbered, wrapped iv fireNow would she prove to all the craven tritics,
—As erst on Carracl's height Elijah mocked
The priests of Baal,—that Jehovah reigns;
Aud down the dread abyss she led tbe way
Past blackened walls that mirrored deeper gloom.
Past rooks now white with breath of former heats,
Aud yellow sulphur streams, and rivers caught
In flaming whirlpools, and then chilled to stone;
O'er solid lake, through shivered fortress wild;
While darker, denser grew the air, and hot
Tbe fumes, and scorching to her feet the path.
The steaming earth scarce hardened to her tread;
Or chasm broad or rugged rent opposed
Her progress, while fromcaverncd depths there came
Fierce sultry blasts that withered all the strength.
At last she stood beside the molten sea.
That flashed and quivered in a thousuud waves,
Aud rolled its flame* with thunders. Never tongue
Can tell the sight; for, far as eye could scan,
The fountains of the fiery deep were loosed.
Now leaping to the clouds,— in ruddy rain
llctmning,—whirling downward now, in force
That cleft the serried billows like the might
Of lightnings multitudinous; a calm
Fast cooled the bubbling flood to silver, or
With roseate hues a moment tracked the flame :
Quick broken, when ill wild volcanic rage.
With crimson gleam, the surging waves arose.

And whelmed the toppling cliffs with living Are.
So, ever restless heaved this flaming sea,
With flaming pall encompassed, and with sound
Of throbbing earthquake from the depths unknown.
Tbe dusky queen stood in the lurid light,
And gated nor feared. The branch long dedicate
To Pele in her hand she held, and broke,
And gave not first the customary gift,
But ate the saorod berries, nnd defied
The immemorial bond,—while yonder sea
Lashed the dread throne of Pele, in their sight.

Who is "Starling ?"-A London correspondent writes us inquiring, Who is " Starling?" It appears that the poetry written
at the islands has reached London! " Starling," we believe, is none other than our
editorial brother, H. L. Sheldon, Esq., editor
of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser. In
the March number of the Friend for 1865,
will be found a poem entitled " The South
Sea Slaver," by " Starling; " and other poetical effusions claim a similar paternity.

The Two Great Poems of India.
We are indebted to Messrs. Trubner &
Co. of London, for sending regular files of
their "American and Oriental Literary Record/ From its perusal we glean many
curious facts relating to the world's literature, not published in any other periodical.
In reading some of the ambitious literary
productions of the uge, one would be led to
infer that former generations were very
ignorant. From this periodical of Trubner
& Co. we learn much relating to the ancient
literature of India, but specially that department which has been for ages hid away in
the Sanskrit language. The celebrated linguist and philologist, Max Muller, has done
much to introduce to European readers a
knowledge of Sanskrit literature.
In the last number of the
Record"
which has just been received, we find a
"
-
notice, by Edwin Arnold of
Oxford University and formerly principal of
a Sanskrit College at Poona, India, of the
two great poems of India, which he styles
" The Iliad and the Odyssey of India. ' We
copy the following paragraphs relating to
these two poems, one of which contains
200,000 verses, and the other 50,000. Both
the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer contain
only some 30,000 and Milton's Paradise

Europe, even by name, till Sir William
Jones announced their existence >and which,
since his time, have been made public only
by fragments, by specimens bearing to those
vast treasures of Sanskrit literature such
small proportion as cabinet samples of ore
have to the riches of a silver mine. Yet
these most remarkable poems contain all the
history of ancient India, so far as it can be
recovered, together with such inexhaustible
details of its political, social, and religious
life, that the antique Hindoo world really
stands epitomized in them. The Old Testament is not more interwoven with the
Jewish race, nor the New Testament with
the civilization of Christendom, nor the Koran with the records and destinies of Islam,

ascribed in Hindostan to these two littleknown epics has transcended all literary
standards established here. They are personified, worshiped, and cited from as some*
thing divine. To read or even listen to
them is thought by the devout Hindoo sufficiently meritorious to bring prosperity to his
household here and happiness in the next
world ; they are held also to give wealth to
the poor, health to the sick, wisdom to the
ignorant; and the recitation of certain parvas and shlokcs in them can fill the household of the Darren, it is believed, with children

The Murder of Commodore Goodenough.
—Some one has kindly sent us a copy of
the Auckland weekly Herald containing a
full report of the death of this noble officer
of the British navy. It appears that he received his death wounds from the poisoned
arrow of the natives of Santa Cruz, the island where the late Bishop Patteson was cut
off". The Commodore was in command of
the Australian naval station, and was highly
esteemed. His lamented death and that of
two or three of his seamen, has called forth
expressions of sympathy from not only the

Triennial Catalogue of Amherst College.
connected with the college, and among them
four from our islands, viz, Whitney, Shipman, Bond and Peterson. Few colleges in
America can exhibit a more honorable lecord
for a half century's growth nnd development.
The faculty now embraces twenty-two professors nnd tutors. The college is amply
endowed and furnished with chapels, lecture
rooms, dormitories, gymnasium, museums,
and all the means and appliances of a first
class institution. It is situated on one of the
most lovely sites of New England, commanding a view of the Connecticut Valley,
through which the " winding nnd willowfringed " river of the same name wends its
passage to the ocean. Opposite Amherst on
the other side of the river is situated Northampton, or Beecher's " Norwood," where are
located Smith's Female College and the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, while only a few
miles away to the south, nestling under the
brow of Mt. Holyoke, is situated Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, of world wide fame.
Only one mile north of Amherst College is
situated Massachusetts Agricultural College,
which is taking rank as one of the most successful institutions of that class in America.
These are not all Ihe institutions of learning
in that vicinity, but we may add Williston
Seminary in East Hampton, Amherst and
Hadley Academies, and Mt. Pleasant High
School; and we know not but others of a
kindred nature. We are not aware as any
spot in America within a radius of ten
miles contains so many and so varied a
cluster of literary institutions of a high order. In these days when the idea of University education is gradually taking possession of the American mind, why might not
all these colleges, seminaries and academies
be combined under one head ? • They would
surely form a University equal to any in
America, or any other land. They are situated in the heart of New England. So
long as the heart pulsates responsive to the
demands of America and the world, there is
hope for the future.
This is a beautifully printed pamphlet of
115 pages, and contains a full catalogue of
all the graduates since the foundation of the
institution. The first class contained only
three graduates, but one of the trio was the
widely known and justly honored Professor
Snell, who has been connected with the college as a student and teacher from its origin.
He has lectured to fifty successive classes,
and still appears before the students in the
lecture room as interested, instructive and
skillful in the performance of the most delicate experiments in Natural Philosophy as
in the earlier years of his professional life.
The Rev. Dr. Tyler, Professor of Greek, has
for more than forty years been connected
with the college. These gentlemen with

lips are reported to have said, referring to
Col. Baker's intercessors, "All the worse for

he ranks in prison as "a first class criminal,"
and hence is not required to perform menial
labor while in prison, but may have his

Sit Moon, our colporteur, returned
last week from a missionary tour around

He conversed with nearly two hundred of

He was cordially received wherever he went.
He speaks quite warmly of Mr. Wilder's
cordiality, superintendent of the Knnlnea
plantation. He held service at the Bethel
last Sabbath evening, and will soon leave for
Hawaii.
Death of a Prominent Hawaiian.
The Honorable Paul Nahaolelua, died at Lahaina
on the 6th inst. after an illness of eight month?, in
the seventieth year of his age, he having been horn
at Kawaihae, Hawaii, on the llth of September,
180C. He began life as a schoolmaster at Kaupn,
Maui; subsequently he entered tbe High School of
Lah&inaluna, after leaving which he beoame successively District and Circuit Judge on Maui. For
several years be acted as Deputy for Governor James
Young Kanehoa, and succeeded tho latter on his
decease, in 1*352. He continued to bold the office of
Governor of Maui until 1874, when on tbe ooceasion
of His present Majesty, he was appointed Minister
of Finance. The infirmities of age anil tbe approaches of tbe disease to which he finally succumbed, caused his retiracy from offioe on the 81st
of October, 1874, stnoe which time be hr.s resided
at Lahaina. He leaves a widow, an adopted sod and
two grandchildren. Tbe deceased was a man of
sterling character, prompt, honorable and straightforward, and was highly esteemed for bis executive
ability by successive Kings, in whose councils he
held a prominent place. By his own positive directions bis funeral took place on tbe day of bia death,
without any of tbe pomp and display to wbiob Hawaiians (and others as well) are so partial, nnd bis
body, enclosed in a plain pine coffin, was deposited
in a vault in tbe cemetery of tbe Kpisoopal church
of Lahaina.—P. C. Advertiser, Sept. 26.

SEPTEMBER 1. 1879.
The Sailor's Friend.
The apostle Paul declares that
" it is good
zealously affected always in a good
thing." Mr. Plimsoll, M. P., has nobly
shown that he is zealously affected and determined to protect British seamen. Late
English and American papers contain frequent mention of the efforts of this philanthropist in behalf of the lives and safety of
seamen. He has shown by facts and statisto be
tics that hundreds, aye thousands, of seamen
are annually sacrificed to the cupidity of
British ship-owners, by sending ships to sea
utterly unseaworthy ! The facts no one can
gainsay. Mr. Plimsoll endeavored to obtain
the passage of a law to rectify these abuses,
but the members of parliament would not
pass the law. Mr. Plimsoll arose in indignation, and called things by their right
names ! He has since apologized for his unparliamentary language, but he is no less resolved to press the matter before the British
public; and we rejoice that his appeal is being heard. The people are taking the matter up and depend upon it something good
will come. John Bull is rather hard to
arouse, but when his ire up, parliament will
obey ! It is a hard matter in old England
to rectify old uses and abuses, but the history of reforms should surely encourage Mr.
Plimsoll. He has pluck and facts, and erelong they will win the day.
Organ—While we are preparing
to issue our paper, our new organ is going up, and we hope next Sabbath or very
soon its tones will assist in the worship of
the sanctuary. We feel under very great
obligations to all who have rendered such
generous aid in its purchase, and in our
next issue we shall report the sources from
which aid has been derived. We would
now acknowledge an additional donation of
the freight on the organ, per Ceylon, from

Instead of comparing sixty or seventy years

Old Testament Scriptures.
BY R. PEARSALL SMITH.
The Scriptures are not a lot of books
thrown together without regard to order.
There is a consecutive arrangement of them
all through. Beginning with the scene of
an earthly Paradise, the Scriptures clpse
with the scene of a heavenly Paradise. Beginning with the tree of life, which was forfeited, it closes with a tree of life which
shall be ours eternally. Beginning with
man under probation, it ends with man in
absolute and unconditioned grace. Beginning with an earthly marriage, it closes with
the glorious scene of a heavenly marriage;
and all throughout, from first to last, there is
a regular gradation and development, in
Genesis we find the story of God's trial of
man in various conditions always resulting
in failure—failure in Paradise, failure when
men were without law, failure when they
were under law, failure under the patriarchal
system, winding up with the terrible bondage of the children of Israel in Egypt. The
second book gives us the story of man's redemption. We have sometimes sought to
take the redemption without placing the Red
Sea between us and the world we have left.
In the third book we find God's provision in
our condition of infirmity and failure in having continual access to Himself. In the
fourth book we have the people of God being brought forward into the glorious land
of their inheritance, and trusting Jehovah,
whose wonderful hand and power they bad
just experienced in being turned back into
the wilderness for forty years. In Deuteronomy we have the second giving of the
law, that deeper and more searching examination of our hearts in the light of the will
of God which always precedes the more
definite entrance on a life of full obedience
and communion, in Joshua we have the
story of their crossing Jordan, beginning
with the words, "Up, sanctify yourselves;
for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders
among you." I believe that is the word for
our day here, that God is coming to do wonders throughout his Church, such as before
we have scarcely dared to hope for. The
story of Joshua is one of almost unbroken
victory, and at the close of the book he says,
know how, in all your hearts and all
" Yousouls,
your
every promise God has made to
you has been yours." Joshua died ; and
when those who had known him, and the
elders which had crossed the Jordan had all
died, then came a scene of failure ; but our
Joshua, our Jesus, never dies. We may
have a life of victory even unto the end.
There comes the story of the failure, but not
as an example. God save us from taking
the failures his book has recorded as our example instead of our warning ! It is a very
serious danger to Christians. And then He
leads us on every here and there in the Bible, through fine vistas, such as in the Book
of Ruth, in the Song of Songs, in Hosea,
and elsewhere, especially in the great song
of love which has its consummation at the
end of the Bible in the marriage of the
Lamb. Then we have the diary of Christ
in the Psalms, and the heart of Christ unveiled to us. Then come the three books of
Solomon—first the avoidance of evil, then
that wisdom is better, and then the Song of
Songs. There is a Sabbath of sabbaths, and
there is a song of the consummated union of
our hearts with our Lord and Saviour.
Then come the prophecies of the coming of
our Lord, with God's terrible denunciations
of sin, and then for several hundred years
the book of revelation is sealed.

another is executed having the sparkling waters in the
foreground, and all else thrown in the background, each presenting a picture of the
same landscape; and to have a vivid idea
of it we should have all four. The Holy
Spirit has given us through four different
mediums the story of our Lord's life. Who
were the writers? The first was an officer
of the Roman Government; the second was
a servant; the third was a physician; the
fourth was a man of philosophic character
and loving temperament The first naturally
gives the character of our Lord Jesus Christ
as King, and his pedigree is traced from
King David as a king descended from a
king. The seqgpd of these biographies is
written by the servant John Mark, who
gives no pedigree of our Lord, but commences with a vivid picture and resume of
his miracles and works The third delineates the picture of our Lord os the Man
Christ Jesus, and there we find the tender
picture of the prodigal son. In the fourth
we find the pedigree of Christ traced all
the way back to the head of the human
race, Adam. It says, "In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God." It at once
commences with Christ's divinity. 1 could
trace these things more fully, but the
purpose of this meeting does not admit
of it.

The Four Gospels.
BY R. PEARSALL SMITH.
The portion of the Bible I would immediately call your attention to is the four
Gospels, which are the four narratives of
our Lord's life. If you want a very vivid
picture for a photograph, you take a stereoscope, and, looking with two eyes from two
standpoints, the figure is projected into likelike distinctness; and so our God has given
us four lives of our Lord Jesus Christ, each
distinct, each portraying especially one side
of his character. When 1 was young, I

In these days, when postal treaties are being re-adjusted and settled, we do hope the
proper officials will remedy one evil connected with our present postal law. It refers to
newspapers, requiring a prepayment of two
cents on papers sent to the United States,
and four cents to Europe. This law is most
inconvenient and absurd. Suppose a person
in the United States would send a newspaper hither, he is not required to hunt up a
two cent Hawaiian postage stamp; now why
should the good people of the Hawaiian Islands be required to prepay not only two
cents Hawaiian, but two cents American.

NEPTEMBKR I. IBTft.
The New Sailors' Shipping Laws of U. S.
The endless troubles and disputes under
the old system are well known. At the end
of tl»e year 1874, Capt. C. C. Duncan, U. S.
Shipping Commissioner, for the port of New
York, is able to make a most satisfactory
Report, from which we quote as follows :
There have been shipped at this office
during the year just closed 26,636 seamen,
of which 5,374 have been rcshipments, and
for these latter no fees have been charged to
vessel or seamen. 15,206 were shipped
without advance. In the time period 27,-576 were paid off. 81,653,186 08 have
been paid into seamen's own hands, while
they were sober, for wages aue and accruing, and no complaint touching the law or
its workings has ever reached the Commissioner from any such seamen.
A large and growing number of disputes
between masters and seamen have been satisfactorily settled and many vexatious and
expensive law suits avoided.
Wages of deceased seamen, amounting to
$3,333 58, have been collected and paid into
court, a large part of which has gone thence
to heirs and administrators.
The entire amount of fees received during
the year is 856,169 00, and of expenses,
including a balance of $2,581 33 due on
last year's account, $56,974 57.
There has been no case of " shanghacing,' mutiny, riot or bloodshed on shipboard,
nor one complaint by any seaman of injustice or mistake in settlement of wages or in
the payment of advance notes, among the
men snipped and paid off under the Shipping Act in the port of New York, during
the year 1874.
How
strange, oh
now
strange,
that men
10 desire life and desire to enjoy the good
ings of life, desire to enjoy the society of
their families and friends, can ruin their
prospects for time and eternity by the use of
intoxicating liquors. We do not wonder
that men of low and vicious habits, corrupt
and debased minds, plunge into intemperance ; but how men of education, family,
and standing in society can drink from the
drunkard's cup,—this seems passing strange.
But more than all, how unaccountable that
women can indulge in " drinking customs."
Tell it not in Gath !
.
A Fair Chance for the Women.
At last a practical opportunity is to be afforded
for deciding tbe much vexed question of the capacity of women fur the higher education. Tbe discussion of tbis questiou bas raged for years with
no abatement of zeal or vehemence on either side,
and yet no result bas been arrived at. Dr. Clarke
and others have argued with learned ponderosity
to prove tbat " there is sex in mind
aud that
women cannot go through with tbe bigber academic course of study pursued by our young
men without permanent injury to tbeir health.
I'rolessur Seeley and numerous other learned gentlemen belonging to the school of John Stuart Mill
have replied with an air of triumphant scora to
these ungallant heresies. Botb sides make such a
formidable parade ot logic and learning ; both are
80 confident, so perfectly sell-satisfied, so supercilious toward their opponents, tbat plain people
dipping into tbe controversy find themselves hopelessly bewildered and at a loss with which party to
take sides. There is a great deal of homely wisdom in the old adage about tbe proof ol tbe
pudding.'' Many a dispute which, if left to mere
argument, would have gone on forever, bas been
settled by the irrefragable test ol an easy and
simple experiment. Thanks to the munificence of
Miss Smith, the founder of the Woman's College
at Northampton, Massachusetts. Ibere is now a
prospect of bringing tbe question of sex in
mind" to tbe test of actual experiment. The
College bas just been formally opened. Tbe
President on tbat occasion claimed in bis opening
address that women's capaoitiea for tbe higher
education are equal to those of men. As to tbe
talk about the strain upon the health of girls
wbo enter upon a severe course of study, bo said
that the strain of study wus not half so severe
as Ihe strain of fashionable dissipation, late hours,
reckless eating, etc. We bare already a number
of so-called female colleges in the United States ;
but tbe education provided by them is not really
academic. Few of them arc higher in grade than
a good preparatory school. Some publish pretentious prospectuses, setting forth a formidable curriculum ol studies, most of wbich are either never
taken up or only glanced at so as to leave no
durable impression. Tbe malign genius of brain
pervades these unwholesome instutfons. Nothing
is taught deliberately, patiently and thoroughly.
Text-books are burried through and thrown aside,
leaving no solid residuum of knowledge, no valuable intellectual discipline, nothing tbat becomes
a part of tbe permanent furniture of tbe mind.
We inter from tbe President's address tbat tbe
Smith College at Northampton is to be a very
different sort of institution, and tbat its practical
workings may help to put an end to tbe controversy in regard to sex in mind."

THE FRIEND.
SEPTEMBER,
congratulated on that account. Would
that he were here to-dny to join in our congratulations upon the past, the present, and
in our hearty good wishes for the future.
I rejoice that in the sunset of life you are
blessed with the presence and tender love
and kind offices of daughter and granddaughter, and with the sympathy, and prayers, and attentions of related families; but,
above all, that you have our loving regard
and daily presence and care of an Almighty
Saviour, in view of whom you may confidently and gladly say, " Though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for Thou art with me :
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life; and I will dwell in
the honor of the Lord forever."
In being able to say this, through faith in
your Kedeemer, you are to be congratulated
on this joyful day, though it should prove
the last of the kind on earth, the great
event of passing comfortably the remaining
part of your journey, is to look, not at the
things which are not seen, the former being
temporary, the latter eternal, so that when

Dr. G. P. Judd, her son. it took place on
Saturday afternoon, August 28th, and a
more choice and charming assemblage has
rarely convened in Honolulu. There was
beautiful mingling of youth and age. Mr.
George Dole read a poem composed for the
occasion by his father, the Key. D. Dole.
The following poem, written by Miss Mitchell of Boston, was read by H. A. I'. Carter,
Esq., and the following letter by the Key.

ure, so far as Hawaiians are concerned. The
Privy Council has authorized the Hawaiian
Commissioners to draw 84,000 for this
purpose, and appointed a committee to
expend that money. Unless, however, the
community vigorously sustain this committee, but little can be expected. We fully
believe that if the proper steps are now
taken there need be no failure ; but now is
the time to plan and to work.
In referring to the published Programme
of the 17. S. Commission in Philadelphia,
we discover that a space amounting to 3888
feet has been set apart for the " Sandwich
Islands." This space is Sandwiched between Liberia and Hay ti, now unless we
bestir ourselves we shall be entirely overshadowed by the Liberians and Haytians. If
awake we can make a good show. As wo
huve seen no programme of what (he Hnwmiuiis can do, we would suggest as follows:
I—Specimens of Sugar from all Plantations.
2—Specimens of Coffee.
3—Specimens of Rice.
4—Specimens of Woods.
s—Specimens of Ferns.
6—Specimens of Books in Hawaiian.
7—Specimens of Newspapers in the English and Hawaiian languages.
B—Specimens of Lava from the Volcano.
9—A large Map of the Islands.
fO—Specimens of Photographic Scenery.
11—Specimens of Coral from the Reef.
12—Specimens of Native Houses.
13—Specimens of Hawaiian Ranchero
Saddles and Lasso.
14— Specimens of Tapas and Calabashes.
We do not propose this as a complete outline of what can be accomplished, because
there are wiser heads than ours, but we do
desire to see something done, and that immediately. If necessary, let the committee
instantly convene a meeting of Hawaiians
and foreigners to aid them in this national
undertaking. We have obtained a Treaty
of Reciprocity, now unless we make a respectable sbow at the U. S. Centennial, it
will be said that the Hawaiian Kingdom
after all is not much of an affair, nothing
more than what a California editor once described it, a watermelon patch in the broad
Pacific, or what the Hon. Edward Everett
once called, a pin-head Kingdom. Now
we hold a very different opinion, and we
shall be most sadly disappointed if something is not done, and that immediately to
promote this noble enterprise. It is for the
honor of the nation, the King, the cause of
missions, the progress of knowledge, and
the advancement of science and civilization
that we look in carrying out this undertaking. More anon.

Seen Through Tears.
Io pious books I Bought a way
To find a Saviour's Love;
But farther still my feet did stray
From God's straight road above.
While loat and worn I made my quest,
I saw a melting flood;
A weeping sool that eager prest.
And by the Master stood.
—
Down in tbe dust, her bumble soul.
In grief and tears did lie
And o'er His feet the love drops roll.
Her drooping hair doth dry.
:
Then comfort spake the heart touched Lord,
Aa oil aud tear* were poured;
And sweetly apoke the pardoning word,
Thia poor dear soul implored.
Now like a eryatal lena for me
This fount of love grief flows;
I clearly now a Saviour see.
And in his peace repose.
No more I aeek in books to read,
When from my God I stray;
For Love no lexicon doth need
To find it* Heavenly way.
The Saviour and the Sinner.
Some of the most touching scene* in our
Saviour's life relate to women. One of
those scenes, if nothing else remained, is
enough to bind the world's heart to him
forever. The occasion was one which
brought out the characteristics of the interlocutors very sharply. A Pharisee had
asked Christ to break bread with him, and
" a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in
the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster
box of ointment "—probably all she had in
the world—"and stood at hi* feet behind
him, weeping, and began to wash his feet
with tears, and did wipe them with the
hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and
anointed them with the ointment,"—so near
being an angel was this poor sinning sister !
Never was modesty so modest,—stood at
his feet,— stood behind him,—stood behind
him weeping : only God can interpret the
full meaning of such tears. Tbe cold-eyed
Pharisee saw nothing in her but a " sinner;"
Christ saw a woman, flesh and blood of his
owner mother, and his great gentle heart
was shaken with unutterable pity. The
Pharisee saw his opportunity; like all little
natures, he knew more of logic than of
philanthropy, and instantly he set up this
argument: " This man, if he were a prophet,
would have known who and what manner
of woman this is that toucheth him, for she
is a sinner." Men are often the victims of
their own

logic.—always, indeed, when tance. Who can measure that "wore"?
Sin is thus made to have its compensations.
The twice-born man shall be a double joy
in his Father's house. Sin shall not be all
loss. Even for sin's sake, heaven shall be
filled with a sweeter and gladder hallelujah.

logic leads away from love. The eye that
saw the " woman " under the " sinner," saw
the sneering sceptic under the observing but

HAWAII'S GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
For months, aye many anxious months,
the Demon of Intemperance has been seen
pressing heavily upon the Hawaiian people
Victims were ruthlessly dragged to the altar
and there sacrificed. Strong men died and
the clods were laid upon their graves, and if
a true epitaph was inscribed upon their
tomb stone, it would be, " Here lies a diunkard." If cases were solitary and at long
intervals, there would be some mitigation of
the sad retrospect. The wave of intemperance year after year has been seen to pass
over the island community. Alas, how
many noble men, —noble young men of foreign extraction have we seen go down ;
not these alone—we have seen Hawaiians
swept away, yes, Hawaiian chiefs and Hawaiian kings! Temperance men, Good
Templars and Christians have tried, and not
altogether in vain, to stem the fearful tide of
intemperance. Of late however, a combination of evil influences has conspired to intensify the sad and alarming prevalence
of intemperance. The nation has passed
through two elections of a Sovereign to the
throne, with attending circumstances which
have increased the use of intoxicating liquors.
The laws have been relaxed, and the sad results are but too apparent.
The friends of temperance, good morals,
and Hawaii, have looked on with pain and
-iniiety. Some, inclined fo ttke sombre
—
views, have predicted nothing but certain
ruin, while others, more hopeful and prayerful, have called to mind the past nnd look
up for help. When the prospects have looked
the very darkest, a bright ray has fallen
upon the scene. His Majesty has apparently watched the current of passing events,
and now, master of the situation, steps forth
to the front and invites his subjects to follow. We should suppose, if there was one
spark of genuine loyal and patriotic feeling
in those around him, every one would dash
the cup of intemperance from his lips and
sign the total abstinence pledge. This is
Hawaii's golden opportunity ! Embrace this
opportunity, and something more valuable
than reciprocity will flow over the nation.
The nation is small and becoming smaller,
but the cause of the decrease of the population is well known to be owing, in good part,
to intemperance. Now is the time for the
friends of the Hawaiian nation to rally
around the King and push forward a thorough temperance reform. Shame on those
who retard this glorious reform, and by their
example and influence hasten the ruin of the
Hawaiian race, and jeopardize the welfare of
the community.

New Turk city, baa been appointed His Hawaiian
Majesty's Consul General Tor the United States

thousand. London : John Murray, Albemarle street, 1874.
The name of Mary Somerville is one of
the authorities in certain departments of
educational studies, which we heard quoted
at a period when "memory runneth not to
the contrary." She died at Naples November 29th, 1872, at the venerable age of
ninety-two, and retained all her mental powers so remarkably that her daughter remarks,
" her last occupations, continued to the actual day of her death, were the revision and
completion of a treatise, which she had written years before, on the " Theory of Differences, and the study of a book on Quaternions." On a few days before her death she
wrote as follows:
I am now in my 02d year (1872), still able
to drive out for several hours; lam extremely
deaf, and my memory of ordinary events, and
especially of the names of people, is failing,
but not for mathematical and scientific subjects. I am still able to read books on the
higher algebra for four or five hours in the
morning, and even to solve the problems.
Sometimes 1 find them difficult, but my old
obstinacy remains, for if I do not succeed today, I attack them again on the morrow. I
also enjoy reading about all the new discoveries and theories in the scientific world, and
on all branches of science.

scholarship and authorship present a similar

scientific explorers and astronomers of Europe. That we have not assigned too high
,t position for this gifted daughter of science
und mathematics, will be seen when the fact
is carefully noted which she discloses in the
following paragraph
Somerville and I spent the Christmas ut
Collingwood with our friends the Herschels.
The party consisted of Mr. Airy, Astronomer-Royal, and Mr. Adams, who hud taken
high honors ut Cambridge. This young
man nnd M. Leverrier, thecelebrated French
»stronomer, had separately calculated the
orbit of Neptune and announced it so nearly
at the same time, that each country claims
the honor of the discovery. Mr. Adams told
Somerville thut the following sentence in tho
sixthedition of the Connection of the Physical Sciences.," published in tho year 1842,
put it into his head to calculate the orbit of
Neptune. "If after the lapse ol years the
tables formed from n combination of numerous observations should be still inadequate to
represent the motions of Uranus, the discrepancies may reveal the existence, nay,
even the mass and orbit of a body placed for
ever beyond the sphere of vision." That
prediction was fulfilled in 1846, by the discovery of Neptune revolving at the distance
of 3,000,000.000 of miles from the sun.
The mass of Neptune, the size and position
of his orbit in space, aud his periodic time,
were determined fromhis disturbing action on
Uranus before the planet itself had been seen.
What is specially noteworthy in her life,
while engaged in the review of the great
work of La Place's Mccmiiqiie Celeste,"
and pursuing her mathematical and astronomical studies,—she did not relax her interest in the social und domestic duties of
life. She was a true mother as well as a
renowned astronomer, a good wife as well

investigations, Herschel remarked that there

The record of a noble life like Mrs. Somerville's, is good reading for those flippant

of the female sex to cope with men in study.
There are a good many hints and suggestive

Letter from Boston.
Jamaica Plains, June 25, 1875.
Rev. S. C. Damon— Dear sir .-—The
centennial celebration of the Battle of Bunker Hill on the 17th inst, has been very
fruitful, in interesting items of news. In
the newspapers, it has not yet censed to be.
the chief topic of interest. I know not
whether it may not all reach you through
the ordinary channels of Honolulu news ;
but since mailing to you the lloston Journal of the 18th, a good many pleasant little
items, called forth by the joyous occasion,
have come to hand, which, too good to be
lost, I enclose.
So extraordinary and excessive was the
outburst of public patriotism at Concord on
the 19th of April, I supposed that the public
mterest in centennials must hnve exhausted
itself, and that from the inevitable reaction
in the public mind, it would be impossible
to awaken much interest in centennial celebrations to follow—after Concord, Charleston
and Bunker Hill were scarcely to lie thought
of. In this, however, I was mistaken.
We had almost forgotten the effect of the
attack on Fort Sumpter, nnd tho centennial
celebration of the battle of Bunker Hill was
a second revelation of the deep hold, which
our national traditions have upon the hearts
of the American people. East, west, north
and south —the 17th of June was a glorious
day for Boston—and for four or five hundred thousand people, the happiest day iv
their lives. In the procession the number of
persons was variously estimated at 30 to
40,000, —but on the line of their march, not
less than 300,000 of all ages and sexes were
distributed for a distance of six miles, occupying the sidewalks and temporary platforms
in front of the dwelling houses and stores on
either side of the street; and every window
and balcony from the basement to the attic
was filled, not to mention the crowds occupying, in many cases, the roofs of the buildings. Many in the procession from distant
cities, Bostonians included, say they never
before saw so many handsome women—
never before such a display of silk dresses
and white handkerchiefs, with showers of
briquets, which fell upon tbe regiments as
they passed— and the effect was very much
increased by the display of an almost incredible amount of bunting stretching across the
streets, and covering the brick and marble
fronts of buildings some miles in extent.
The cheering was deafening, and continued
till the ladies were hoarse.
Massachusetts furnished six thousand
troops, and other New England States their
quotas. The Seventh New York Regiment,
famous for its " lock-step " and wonderful
drill in review and marching, was the admiration of all—never before perhaps in this
country was there more emulation amongst

Abstract of the Voyage of H. B. M.'s S. "Challenger."
AUGUST 3. 1870.
C
An Enthusiastic Temperance Meeting.
Agreeable to public notice a goodly company of Hawaiians and foreigners assembled
at Knumakapili Chun-h on Saturday even
ing, July 31st. The Rev Mr Kuaea was
called to the chair, and Mr. Poli was appointed secretary. Prayer having been
offered by the chairman, H. L. Sheldon,
Esq., presented n preamble and resolutions,
approving of the stand taken by His Majesty, in his speech Sabbath afternoon. July
18th, at the- Palace. After these were discussed, a committee of five was appointed
to wait upon His Majesty and present these
resolutions. The meeting adjourned to
meet again on Sunday evening, August 7th,
when the subject of Temperunce will be discussed.
Most heartily we rejoice to witness this
movement in behalf of a Tempernnce Reform. It is quite time something was done,
and that in good earnest. His Majesty has
done most nobly to take the initiative, now
let his subjects, native and foreign, follow
his example. We hope meetings may be
convened in all parts of the islands, and
strong resolutions passed sustaining the
King and this good cause Now is the
time for a " long pull, a strong pull and a
pull altogether." Let the friends of Temperance wake up. Let all the foreign and
native pastors call upon their people to
awake. The Demon of Intemperance has
been coiling himself around many of our
people with a grasp as tight and deadly as
the fabled serpents coiled themselves around
Laocoon and his sons, as represented in the
famous statuary found among the ruins of
Rome and now exhibited in the Vatican
Museum. Unless the tide of intemperance
is arrested it will inevitably sweep off many
more of this people and foreigners residing
upon the islands. We have no people to
spare. Now is the time to be up and doing.
" There is a tide in tht; affairs of men," let
us take it in the flood," and it may sweep
"
us away from the deadly rocks of intemperance and upon the fair and green shores of
health and prosperity. Shumeon sll who cling
to their cups and by their example and influence perpetuate drinking customs which
are unnecessary and destructive to both soul
and body. We hope the ladies will all be
found upon tbe right side—the side of tem-

In another column we copy from the
Advertiser a notice of Mr. Gibson's pamphlet. " Henry the Illustrious," appeared in
our columns in August, October, and November of 1874, and "Camoens" in the
Advertiser. Both publications were read
with much interest when first published, and
we are glad to see them in pamphlet-form.
We are also delighted to learn that their
author is not here '• to rest upon his oars," but
will '• follow the heroes of the Iberian Peninsula in their wanderings and heroic achievements throughout the great ocean and along
the Pacific shores, and offer to English
readers much that they have not seen, in relation to Pacific discovery and Polynesian
history." This is a noble subject, and if
properly studied and " worked up," we see
not why volumes may not be produced,

now we hope those fond of historical research

will make their " deep historical soundings

this subject are little aware of the tich mines
of historical wealth stored away in old

to the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.

The Vermont Liquor Law.
The King's Temperance Speech.
The following eloquent speech, which we i The celebrated Hepworth Dixon, having

walls.
" Iris my desire that we should here form ourselves into a Keform League, the chief object and
aim of which shall be to abandon and discourage
the use of strong drink.
The use of intoxicating drinks is one of the
great causes of misery to our nation. There is u
great prevalence of intemperance, and consequent
sickness among our people, drink inflaming the
blood, disordering the system, and producing disease and death.
" Tbe reports come to us of these evils from
every direction—of disturbances and violence and
unirder, resulting from the use of intoxicating
drinks. Une day, it is a woman who has fallen
a victim, and lost her life as a result of the use
ol drink, and the next a man is killed through
the same cause. It is time that it strong effort
was made to check the evil.
" Io other countries, the labors of temperance
reformers have for many years been directed to
tbe suppression of intemperance, and often with
excellent results. You have perhaps heard quite
recently of the doings of tbe women in some
parts of America, in their crusade against the
liquor traffic. The church, and the various
secret societies discourage intemperance; much
good is done by Temperance Societies; our laws
ore strict; but the evil still continues and grows.
Therefore let us, here within these Palace walls,
combine and agree together to give our example
and our influence against this great evil, the use
"
of strong drink.
Let me say to you, that I feel that a heavy
"
responsibility—a labor devolves upon me to find
tbe means ot eradicating this great evil from our
nation i—and 1 want you to leel that it is upon
yourselves as well. If you meet with ridicule,
regard it not; you will be engaged in a noble
cause, —an earnest endeavor to free yourselves
and your country Irom a terrible curse ; a worthy
effort for mental and physical reform.
" I invite you, therefore, to join in an association for tbe suppression of the use of strong
drink. If you take hold of the work with a
true determination, you will succeed, and from
your small beginning there may be great results.
You know that tbe appetite for strong drink does
not come at once, but by gradual approaches,
until the man becomes enslaved. Thus also it

unwittingly, the saltness of the Dead Sea,
and shrunk with loathing from the nauseous

Nile, and lingered by the fountains of Loja.
In the absence of wine, I can drink water
with a Good Templar, and live in comfort
on tea and milk. But an Oxonian near me,
reared on football-ground and cricket field,
requires beer. " Can you get me a pint of
ale?" It is a crucial test, and I regard the
waiter's face while -seeming not to notice
him. " Yes, sir, but it will take some time ;
I have to send for it." " To send for it—

the town officer,
by law to sell
poisons, as I have heard your druggists are
in London." " Very good ; then get me a
pint bottle of the poison called Bass's Pale
Ale."
My own inquiries satisfy me that the man
is right. Intoxicating drinks are classed
with poisons, such as laudanum and arsenic ;
but as poisons may be needed in a civilized
country, under a scientific system of medicine, laudanum and arsenic are permitted to
be sold in every civilized Slate. Such is
here the case with brandy, beer, and wine.
A public officer is appointed by a public
vote. The town lays in a stock of brandy,
beer and wine, which is carefully registered
in books and kept under lock and key.
These poisons are doled out, at the discretion of this officer, in small quantities—very
much as deadly-shade and nox vomica are
doled out by a London druggist. " Cannot
you get a bottle of cognac for your own
private use?" I asked Colonel Fairbanks.
i can send my order," he replies, " for a
pint of cognac ; it will be sent to me, of
course ; but my order will be filed, and the
delivery entered on the public books for
every one to see."
" You find that system rather inquisitorial,
do you not?"
" Well, no, it is intended for the common
good, and every one submits to what is for
the good of all. We freely vote the law, and
"
freely keep the law. But for myself the rule
is a dead letter, since no intoxicating drink
ever enters my house."
In going through .the mills, I notice the
several classes of artizans. Five hundred
men are toiling in the various rooms. The
work is mostly hard ; in some departments
very hard. The heat is often great. From
seven o'clock till twelve, from one till six—
ten hours each day—the men are at their
posts. The range of heat and cold is trying,
for the summer sun is fierce, the winter frost
is keen. Your ordinary citizen cannot live
through the summer heats without a trip to
Lake Champlain and the Adirondack mountains. Yet the men engaged in these manufactories of scales are said to drink no beer,
no whisky, and no gin.
Drinking and
smoking are not allowed on the premises.
Such orders might be only meant for discipline, but I am told that these five hundred
workmen really never taste a drop of either
beer or gin. Their drink is water, their delight is tea. Yet everyone llssures me that
they work well, enjoy good health, and live
as long as persons of their class employed on
farms. "These men," I ask, " who rake
the furnaces, who carry the burning metals,
and who stand about the crucibles—can they
go on all day without beer? They never
taste a drop, and never ask to have a drop.
There is a can of water near them; they
like the taste of water better than the fume
of ale, and do their work more steadily without such fumes."
In fact, I find that these intelligent craftsmen are the warmest advocates of the prohibitive liquor law. They voted for it in
the outset; they have voted for it ever since.
Each year of trial makes them more fanatical in its favor. Since the Act came into
force, new clauses have been added by the
State Legislature. Party questons often
turn on this liquor law, and these intelligent
workmen always vote for those who promise
to extend its operations. They would gladly
crush the sale of intoxicating liquors once
for all, and I am led to fancy that some of
them would not hesitate to make the sale a
capital offence.
Work for Shipwrights.—We are pleased to loam
that Messrs. Campbell and Tarton of Lahaina have
oontracted with the Messrs. Foster of this oity for
tbe construction of a new schooner of about 160
tons, to take the place of the JVettie JMerritl on tho
Lahaina route. On the return of tbe JVettie from
her present trip she will be bove out in order to
obtain the lines of her model, upon whioh, for an
island coaster, it is believed that no improvement
can be made. It is understood that on the completion of the new vessel, (whiob it is calculated will
be on or before the first of January next) the JVetlie
will be turned over to tbe Messrs. Foster. Having
been well and faithfully built in tbe first place, sho

the gleam of a glittering veneer of material civilisation and the corroding vices under which, in
prcsonco of superior aggressive races of the west,
Japan must fall like the doomed races of America
and Hawaii." Increased commerce, progress of
science, improved systems of education, are not
sufficient to save the heathen nations and elevate
them into the light and enjoyment of a pure civilization. Something additional is required; that
something we argue is Christianity, or the gospel
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as inoulcatod and taught by Christian missionaries. Queen
Victoria was right when she put ber hand upon

MISSIONS IN INDIA.
In illustration of our subject, I desire to call
your attention to the marvelous work and revolution now progressing in India. About the open-
ing of the present century commenced the era of
Protestant missions in India and many other
parts of tho world. The king and rulers of England did not however look with much favor upon
the efforts then put forth. This was emphatically true of the directors of the British Enst India
oompany, which issued an order prohibiting the
landing and laboring of American missionaries
or any others within the territories under the
company's government and control. The opposition to the work as undertaken by Judson, Hall
and others is too well known for me to dwell
upon it. Tbat company absolutely and resolutely
determined that Christian missionaries should
not obtain u foothold in India. They were as
conservative and guarded as the Dutch now are
with reference to their Malay possessions in the
East Indies—really at present the only part of
the heathen world to which Christian missionaries are debarred from laboring. The subject,
however came before parliament and the British
and such was the pressure brought to
ear upon tho. East India company's policy
through the efforts of Wilbcrforce and men of
kindred spirit, that India was soon thrown open
to mission labor. The American missionaries
were among the first to enter thefield which they
have never abandoned. In his recent work on
Indian Missions Sir Bartle Frere, who is a member of the Indian Council and president of the
Royal Geographical Society, thus remarks : The
history of the American missions in Bombay presents many features of the highest importance.
They have addressed themselves to the lower
rather than to the higher classes of society, and
their success has been every way most striking."
After referring to the efforts of various English
Eublic,
"
societies and others, he adds: " Whether we
intended it or not, we have sown the seeds of
revolution, physical, intellectual, moral and religious ; and who amongst us shall venture to prophesy what may be the results ere another generation has passed away .' "
BRITISH GOVERNMENT FAVORABLE TO MISSIONS.
So far does the British Government at present
not oppose missionary operations, it rather promotes them in every possible way. It has been
found that unchristian civilization was not what
the millions of India required. Converts are
now reckoned by hundreds of thousands. Never
was the work progressing more rapidly than at
present. Remarks Lord Lawrence, Viceroy and
Governor General: " I believe, notwithstanding
all that the English people have done to benefit
tbat country, the missionaries have done more
than all agencies combined." All true friends of
India, government officials, civilians, and the
British nation at large, are fully convinced tbat
civilization and Christianity must go " band in
band." The fearful lesson taught by tbe mutiny
of 1857 that British rule could not be maintained unless the moral support of all Christian missionaries was secured, hence from that date tbe

departure. The various missionary societies are
now laboring most successfully and harmoniously.
Sir Bartle Frere again remarks " In the face
of an idolatry such as tbat which pervades Hindostan, all minor differences among Christians
sink into comparative insignificance. ' It is not
a godless and unchristian civilization tbat missionaries and the true Iriends of humanity would
bestow upon the Hindoos, but a thoroughly
Christian civilization, strikingly in contrast with
the former types of civilisation which have been
dominant throughout that populous country,—l
reler to the Hindoo and Mohammedan. England
is now doing much to introduce the elements of
European civilization. Railroads are running in
every direction from the great centers of commerce, Bombay. Madras and Calcutta. Tho
whole oountry is in communication by a notwork of magnetic telegraph. Other evidences
of progress are apparent in the new system of
jurisprudence and education, but all these are insufficient to effect a moral regeneration and elevation. None are more aware of this fact than
the leading officers of government, hence the new
policy now manifested towards all Christian missionaries. They are the men now laboring to
crown the work which has been undertaken, of
regenerating India. Christian schools, colleges
and churches arc now supplanting heathen temples. The seed which missionaries from England
and America have been sowing during the last
half century, is now beginning to return a golden
harvest. It is soul-inspiring to read the narrative of mission labor in India. Apostolic times
present nothing more heroic or self-denying. Dr.
Anderson's recent book on tbe missions of the
American Board, merits a place in an appendix
to the Book of tho Acts of the Apostles. Right
nobly bave tbe missionaries of the Board done
their work. Tho records ol modern mission labor
present no examples moro truly grand than those
of such men as Gordon Hall, members of tbe
Scudder and Ballentine families, the Winslows,
Poor, Meigs, Spaulding, and scores beside. The
same is true of those whose names are recorded
in tbe annals of the Church missionary andLondon
missionary societies of England. These men are
agents of a Christian civilization of the best and
highest type. But I must not linger among the
palm groves of India, or stop to enjoy the " spicy
breezes " blowing " soft o'er Ceylon's Isle," yet
the contemplation is enchanting, for the Hindoo
mother is now taught a better lesson than to cast
her infant into the gauges, and the Brahmin that
it is better to practice self-denial for Jesus than
to work out a righteousness of his own.
What I have shown to be true of India, is
also true of Burmah, Siam, China and Japan.
Through all those populous countries the gospel
seed is now being sown. The following, from a
secular newspaper hi Bankok, Siam, referring to
the movement in that kingdom towards a higher
Christian civilization, will apply to most Asiatic
nations " Tbe outside world are looking on
with interest at the attempted strides of Siam
towards Christian civilization, which is the civilisation it must attain, if it would possess the
highest type of that which exists in the present
ccniury, and young Siam will not bo content
until it has reached this. There can however be
no genuine high type of civilization without a
superior order of morality as its basis, and no religion presents so perfect and ennobling a system
as tbe Christian religion." When such sentiments and ideas as tbese are extensively spread
abroad, the work of a world's regeneration will
go nobly forward.

done so much to explore its unknown regions

NATURAL RESULT OF MISSIONS.
One thing is growing more and more apparent,
that all missionaries are becoming very harmonious in regard to the fundamental principles of
the missionary enterprise. The grand idea is

INK FRIEND,
It is to he doubted whether colonists could have
lived among tin: cunnihals ol those islands, even
under the flag of England, had not the followers
of Wesley set up the standard of tho Cross.
But I must bring the discussion of this subject
to a close, although fully aware that it remains
unexhausted. Facts illustrative may be drawn
from universal history and the gradual spread of
Christianity during the past eighteen centuries.
As the gospel however is cow being preached
among all nations, tbe idea is becoming more and
more apparent that the heathen and unevangclized nations are not so much in need of civilization, culture, refinement and education, as of tho
puro and ennobling principles of the gospel of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. There is
nothing which can satisfy the craving desire in
the heart of humanity lor happiness and peace,
but the simple gospel which our Saviour offers
unto all, when he says, Come unto me all ye
that labor, and I will give you rest." It is this
rest which tbo angel having the everlasting gospel to preach, is now proclaiming,—Christ will
give and is now giving. This rest comes wherever
Christ's kingdom comes, hence the one earnest
and prolonged prayer of all should be,
Thy
kingdom come." It is now coming, the Son of
God is now seeing of the travail of his soul, as he
beholds from ins seat at the Father's right hand,
tho nations of the earth earnestly looking to
catch a view of
the angel flying through the
midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel
to preach to every nation and kindred, and tongue
and people."

may appear chaotic and peurile, but there
are undercurrents and laws regulating the
development of political life throughout
Polynesia, as fixed and regular as those
which have resulted in the modern civilization of Europe, sketched by a Guizot, a Macauley, or any of the master historical writers
of the age. The time may come when some
patient and careful historian will write the
history of Polynesia, and of discovery in the
Pacific. It is a fascinating theme, and
might we think be so worked out as to
charm the reader. The Key. Mr. Doane
touched upon this subject in his recent
lectures. Others, we are glad to know, are
at work upon it. It is a rich mine of history,
philology, superstitious and religious opinions.
Samoa Thirty Years Ago.
Sermon on Home Missions.—This year
the Rev. A. O. Forbes, of Hilo, preached in
Fort Street Church, the Annual Home Missionary Sermon, before the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, from the text—"This is
the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel; not
by might nor by power, but by my spirit,
saith the Lord of Hosts —Zechariah, 4:6.
In the discussion and illustration of the subject, he commented with the skill and fancy
of a Bunyan or Jeremy Taylor, upon the 2d
and 3d verses of the chapter, from which his
text was chosen, wherein the angel asks the
prophet, " What seest thou ? And I said, I
have looked and behold a candlestick all
gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and
his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to
the seven lumps which were upon the top
thereof, and two olive trees by it, one upon
the right side of the bowl, and the other
upon the left side thereof." All the machinery of church organizations, missionary
societies, and other agencies would be as ineffectual to renovate and regenerate the world
without the spirit and power of God, as the
bowl, pipes and lamps of the seven-branched
candlesticks to give forth light without the
oil of the olive trees on the right and left of
the same.

Sunday School Celebration.—On Saturday
day last there was a grand display of the
Oahu Sunday Schools including representatives from most of the country districts.
Fourteen schools were represented in the
procession, which started from Kaumakapili
Church at 9:30 a. m., marched through
Mauna Kea, King, Punchbowl and Beretania
streets, back to the same church. It is estimated that over one thousand children and
teachers were in it, and each school was
preceded by its banner, some of which were
very handsome indeed. On arriving at the
church, the schools entered the building, and
the scholars were seated in the centre pews,
while spectators filled the side seats. Scarcely
half of those who went to see the performances could obtain entrance. The exercises
commenced about 11 o'clock and consisted of
recitations of scripture verses and singing by
each school, and by all the schools together.
At 12 o'clock, His Majesty the King arrived,
accompanied with the Prince Koyal, Her
Royal Highness Luka Keelikolani, and His
Ministers. During the exercises, His Majesty made an address, in which he exhorted
young and old to follow the precepts taught
in the Sabbath School. He said that Sabbath Schqols were first established here in
1825, and this is therefore the Jubilee year,
and there might be some present who would
live to witness the centennial in 1925. He
was astonished to see so many banners displayed, and it reminded him of his youthful
days when he joined in the processions, and
in this Kaumakapili Church saw Kauikeaouli, Lot Kamehameha, Liholiho, Kamamalu
and Lunalilo. He and his sister stood here
to-day where those chiefs stood then. He
well remembered some of the verses which
he learned when attending the Sabbath
School at the Bethel Church, otic of which

INK NUKMI,
Friendly criticism is something much
prized in true journalism. We are by no
means sensitive under the comments of a
correspondent in the Advertiser of June 26.
We recognize the pen of an English mismissionary long residing on the tSamoan
Islands in the following paragraphs. We
fully recognize the fact tbat the political
affairs of the Hawaiian Islands essentially
differ from those of most of the groups of
the South Seas." The Hawaiian Islands
"
had a stable government thirty years before
the missionaries landed in 1820. We have
always regarded this feature of our situation
peculiarly favorable to the spread of Christianity, and when that kingly rule has been
assailed, as it was, by the French in 1839 and
1849, and by the English in 1843, Republican American missionaries and foreign residents, rose up in its defence. They protected and remonstrated like the Heroes of
'76. The English missionaries did the
same when the French hoisted their Protectorate flag at Tahiti. But here is what called
forth our remarks in the Friend of September, 1874, in noticing Col. Steinberger's
Report " to the Secretary of State at Washington," we expressed the idea that " we arc
not surprised that Samoans should seek an
alliance with the United StatesQovernment.''
We still bold to the same opinion, for have
they not witnessed one group after another
pass under a foreign flag—the Society Islands, Marquesas and New Calidonia, are
part of France ! New Zealand, then, and
now Fiji, have passed under the British flag.
Rumor asserted that Germany and Great
Britain were looking towards Samoa, as a
certain King of Israel once gazed upon
Naboth's vineyard ! Was it surprising that
Samonns (including English missionaries)
should stretch forth their imploring hands to
President Grant when his predecessors at
the White House had always shown themselves as brothers to Hawaiian Kings ? We
trust that subsequent events will show that
America seeks only Samoa's good, and the
encouragement and development of the native
race and government.
" In a number of tbe Friend just to band (of date
September, 1874) Dr. Damon speaks with rather
much self-congratulation ou tbe way in which 'the
rights of tbe natives and tbe authority of the king
and chiefs have been sedulously guarded In Hawaii, by tbe aid of republican American missionaries and American citisens. And be implies something perhaps rather disparaging towards other
groups. I bave very great respect for Dr. Damon's
opinion on Polynesian matters ; but I tbink in the
remarks I now orlticise he has not taken his usually comprehensive view of tbe matter about which
ha writes. Hawaii differed from most—l think I
may say all—Polynesian groups at tbs time of the
introduction of Christianity. It bad a king—not
merely a nominal one—but one wbo ruled, sad
wbo made his rule feared If not respected. Apart
tross Christianity Hawaiian chiefs were real chiefs."
'
JUL ¥
,
18 75.
Except in the SocietyIslands, and perhaps. Tonga,
Hawaii differed in Ibis respect from most other
groups of tbo Pacific. Samoa, like the Marquesas,
has never been united under one rule—in lact, has
bad no rule. Tbere baa never been a man combining sufficient iutellect, prowess, aud ambition
to bring ilis- entire group under one rule. But
tbere bus been a multitude of petty chiefs, (one of
the old missionaries used to say every alternate
man yon meet is a chief) each exerting very, very
little influence, and constant feuds bave been tbe
consequence.
I give your American missionaries very great
credit tor What has been done in political us well

American missionaries had been in Samoa, tbey
would not have made this group like tbe Hawaiian
at tbe present time. Tonga differs considerably
from Samoa, and is following hard on Hawaii in
civilization. But the reason ol it is tbat King
George brought all those islands under bis rule.
and made progress possible. Dr. Damon says the
■fact is uncontrovertible' tbat in the groups of
tbe South Seas, where missionaries and foreign
residents from England and other European countries bave predominated, the rights of kings, chiefs
and common people bnve been partially at least
ignored, and the nutive governments allowed to
become subverted and overturned.' I cannot assent to that assertion. Tbe fact is tbat Tahiti is
tbe only place to which it applies. In other
groups tbere bave been no native governments to
subvert or overturn. That is the cause of all the
mischief—there has been no authority, no rule.
Not even in Fiji, now annexed to Great Britain,
has tbere been any native government to subvert."

Report of the Punahou Examining Committee.
Messrs. McCnlly, Forbes, Bishop and Dole, appointed an Examining Committee, attended tbe
examination held on Tuesday and Wednesday, at
tbs close of the academic year of Oahu College.
The number of students by tbe catalogue is twenty-seven girls and thirty-three boys, but of these
quite a number bave not been in attendance to
tbe end of tbe year. Wisely, we think, the teaohers did not undertake to present all tbeir olasses,
nor to ran over tbe whole field of the studies pur-
Geometry and algebra were well done, especially tbe former. The large class in analysis, or
English grammar, showed thoroughness in this
often neglected and distasteful subject. Of other
classes in.non-exact studies, we may say that tbey
appeared to have learned well what was within
tbeir course of study. English history, we think,
oould be better taught from a better book than tbe
abridgment of Hume's history, which is used.
some manual wbich should bring out more sharply
the really important events and crises which bave
shaped English history and the history of civil
freedom.
The Committee examined with great pleasure
tbe spelling books written during the term by the
pupils from dictation They were very generally
models ot neatness in writing, and in tbe few
words missed make a record that may be called
extraordinary.
In tbe elocutionary exercises, select readings
were made prominent. We like this feature. The
leadings were all good, and so were the compositions. We may say tbere was an improvement as
compared wilb some former years in all the •' ex-
bibiiion " exercises. Tbe enunciation in both
declamation was good. This remark
reading and
cannot be made as to two-thirds of the scholars in
the lessons recited. We would not neglect to
make due allowance for the timidity of young people reciting in a large room before strangers, and
to allow for some natural differences in strength
of voices and iv vocalization, but the number of
those who do speak out audibly and distinctly
shows that the art is within the attainment of all.
This matter has been frequently remarked ou, and
has doubtless received much attention from tbe
teachers ; indeed, it is probable that little of this
difficulty is noticed iv tbe daily recitations, but
appears chiefly at the pulilic examinations. But
until it disappears there It will continue to bo
matter of comment by visitors.
It may be more within tbe province of tbe trustees than ours to speak of the intended absence of
the President of tbe institution ; yet we may be
allowed, in view of the departure of Mr. and Mrs.
(Jburcb. alter tbeir ten years of service here, to
express our sense of the way in which they bave
tilled their very important and responsible
place. For important and responsible in a
high degree it is,—the charge of these young
ladies and gentlemen in the school and in tbe
family. They have to be governed firmly yet with
kindness, to bo taught in tbeir studies, directed
and supervised in tbeir amusements, their work,
their excursions, tbeir life in tbe school as a home,
sod in respect to tbeir moral and religious and
physical interests. And this multifarious care extends through the seven daya and nights of tbe
week, and. as to many of tbem. through vacations.
Tbe property too, of the school, its farm and its
house-keeping, are to be carefully and prudently
managed. We hazard little in saying tbat In tbe
judgment of all acquainted with the facts, these
various and exacting duties bave been fulfilled
faithfully and wisely, unselfishly and without stint
of personal exertion. We understand it is an open
question whether Mr. and Mrs. Church may return
after a year's visit borne. We are sure they will
be welcomed back if they please to come.
Two other teachers also leave. They carry with
them only good wishes and good opinions. It is
to be regretted tbat changes in tbe staff of teachers
should be so frequent as tbey bave been, Tbe service of tbe associate teachers should be for more
than one or two years, as generally baa been the
case. But this subject cannot be pursued here.
For tbe Examining Committee.

sued by those classes. This would not be practicable in a short publio oral examination ; and we,
though termed an examining committee, felt that
tbe examination should be conducted by tbe teachers with but little interruption by interrogation on
our part. It would be easy for strangers to tbe
class to throw them into confusion by questions
touobing matters which bad not come within their
course of study, and the failure to comprehend the
point of the question asked or to give the answer
required, would not justly Imply a want of suitable instruction and faithful study. Neither can
tbe committee of any year well report tbe progress
of tbe school or of individual classes or scholars,
which is a matter ot comparison with previous
years. But an examining committee may well observe and report upon tbe tone at the school iv
respect to discipline, the character of the instruction given in respect to thoroughness, and tbe general improvement or failure to improve by tbe
scholars of tbe opportunities of tbe school.
We tbink no one present at tbe examination

Safe in the Arms of Jesus.
Safe in tbe arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast.
There, by His love o'ershadeil,
Sweetly my soul shall rest:
Hark ! 'tis the voice of angels
Borne in a soug to me.
Over the fields of glory,
Over tbe jusper cea.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care;
Safe from the world's temptation!.,
Sin cannot hitrtn roe Ihere :
Free from the blight of sorrow.
Free from my doubts and fears;
Only a few more trials,
Only a few nioro tears.
Jesus, my heart's iloar refuge,
Jeaug has died for me;
Firm on the Rook of Ages
Ever my trust shall be :
Here let me wait with patience—
Wait till the night is o'er.
Wait till I see Ihe morning
Break on the golden shore.
The Mission of Hymns.
" Singing the Gospel," has become an expression with very precious meaning to all
who are interested in the great revivar moveof our day. Perhaps no more potent
influence for good could be brought to bear
upon men's hearts than this union of truth
with suitable melody. We have been much
struck of late in noticing the influence of
Christian hymns on a people who are generally considered painfully deficient in musical
susceptibilities. The new Colporteur, among
the Chinese, has succeeded remarkably well
in interesting in hymn singing, those who
gather every Sabbath evening, for worship
at the Bethel. Possessing a clear full voice
himself, he has no difficulty in leading, and
one cannot but be interested in watching the
earnestness and zeal with which many follow him. If Christians would have a deeper
and sweeter significance given to those
hymns and tunes which are among the
choice treasures of the church, they should
come and listen to these simple men singing
words of redemption and Heaven. God
grant that the mission of those purest exments
desire for reunion and fraternal sympathy,
which cannot but be productive of most
blessed results in the Christian fellowship of
the North and South. The very spirit of
Christianity tends to this harmonizing and
uniting of all who find in a common Master
and Saviour, the grand object and inspiration
of life. We find in the Christian Union a
statement in reference to this meeting which
may be read with interest. The statistics of
the Association should encourage all workers
in this field :
" Richmond's reception of the delegates to
the Convention of the Young Men's Christian
Associations, both from North and South,
was more than up to the promise in the invitation to meet there. Families opened
their houses to all with characteristic hospitality, and made their visitors at the outset
so much at home that the Convention as a
body felt the genial influence till through its
proceedings. Judge Robert Ould welcomed
the delegates in an honest speech, at all
events, in which he did not hesitate to declare that, speaking for the Southern people,
it was immaterial whether one side or the
other whs loyal or rebel in civil or political
matters so long, he snid, 'as we maintain
the faith as it is in Jesus Christ, and acknowledge his supremacy as Lord of all.' ' 1
know no other test of Christian fellowship
and confidence,' he continued. ' I put no
other on any man, and suffer none to be put
on me.' This was the keynote of the Convention which worked in a Christian spirit
all the way through. In the organization,
ihe chair was given to Mr. Joseph Hardie,
of Seliua, Ala. Reports from the agents
and Secretaries, Messrs. R. C. Morse, Weidenall, and Hall described the amount of
work done in the year past as large and satisfactorily fruitful. The Association statistics are as follows:
Nearly 600 Associations, with 68,400 members ; 252 keep open
reading rooms; 190 own libraries ; 56 have
buildings ; and 42 more are raising building
funds. Topics practically discussed were
Association Bible classes, prayer-meetings,
lay preaching, prison work, and the claims
of commercial young men upon the Christian
public. The Convention is likely to give a
special impetus to the work in the South
where the Associations are still few in
pressions of the Christians hope and trust, number."

King Kalakaua of the Sandwich Islands
will send his feather cloak to the centennial exposition at Philadelphia. This
article will represent more labor than any
other article that will be on exhibition. Its
manufacture was commenced over a hundred
years ago, under the auspices of some of the
ancestors of Kamehameha, the first king of
the islands, and upwards of fifty years of
time were required for its completion. It is
made of the feathers of a peculiar species of
bird—each bird furnishing only two feathers,
one from under each wing. In size the cloak
is a little over a square yard, and its color is
a golden yellow. It used to be worn by the
king on state occasion!, but of late years it
serves only to adorn tbe reception room of
the palace.— American Fbenange,

that direction, no one will doubt. Duties
assigned to the Corresponding Secretary of
that Board deprived him of the privilege of
meeting with the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association at its last Annual Meeting; his
lack of service was well supplied by the
Acting Secretary of the BoHrd. After an
absence of eighty days from Honolulu, visiting the mission of the Marquesas Islands,
your Secretary, with his Associate Delegate,
Rev. J. Kauhane, arrived at Honolulu June
26th, and immediately entered on his official
to do in
duties.
Three females connected with our work
have passed to the Better Land, durinfr the
time under review, viz : Mrs. C. C. Dole,
wife of Rev. D. Dole; Mrs. D. S. Bishop
and Mrs. Taylor of the Gilbert Island
Mission.
Mrs. Dole came to these islands as the
wife of Mr. H. 0. Knapp, in 1837. Alter
the death of Mr. Knapp, she was united in
marriage with the Rev. D. Dole ; she left us
to meet the Master, whose work she loved,
on the sth of July, 1874.
Mrs. D. S. Bishop came to these islands
with the second reinforcement, as Miss D.
Stone, in the year 1828. A few months
after her arrival she was married to the Rev.
A. Bishop, and died April 13th, 1875.
Mrs. Taylor, the wife of the Rev. H. J.
Taylor of the Gilbert Island Mission, spent
a few weeks with us on her way to her chosen field of labor. Fifty days after her arrival
on the Island of Apiang, she was called
away by Him, whose she was, and whom
she desired to serve. After an illness of 16
days, she took her departure to the other
world on the 26th of September, 1874 ; leaving an husband and son to mourn their loss.
An Hawaiian Missionary, who had not met
with her in the flesh writes : " Very great
was our love for this servant of the Lord,
who has been called so suddenly to go to
the land of rest."
HOME DEPARTMENT.
There are now connected with the Hawaiian Evangelical Association of which
this Board is the executive Body, five Associations, and one Presbytery. Sixty churches
Thirty-five Pastors are in connection with
these Ecclesiastical bodies, viz: 14 on
Hawaiii; 11 on Maui and Molokoi ; Bon
Oahu, and two on Kauai.
11 churches
have temporary supplies, viz: 7on Hawaii;
2on Maui and Molokai; 1 on Oahu, and 1
on Kauai. These are ordained Ministers and
licensed Preachers; leaving 14 churches
without Pastors or temporary supply ; the
most of these however are supplied with
with those who labor for the spiritual good
of the people. So far as I can learn the
whole number ordained to preach the Gospel since 1863 has been 52, 12 of whom are

Board. The foliowing are the members of
the Committee: Rev. W. P. Alexander,

The health of the members of the school,
says the Chairman of the Faculty, has been
uniformly good. Not a recitation has been
missed by any member of the school during
the year on account of sickness. The students have found suitable employments during the year from which they have been able
to supply themselves with food and clothing.

The Family School of Mrs. Lyons and
Daughter at Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued with the usual number of pupils.
The Female Boarding Schools on Maui
and Oahu have been continued as in past

Miss M. Kinney and Miss S. H. King have
rendered efficient help in the school during
the year. Miss King is now connected with
the school. The number ol scholars has not
exceeded thirty-six. Now (May 6) numbering thirty-one. The health of the school,
says the Principal, as a general thing
has been better than in some of the
former years, though the messenger of death
very suddenly entered our school early on
the first Sabbiith in November, and removed
by decease one of our younger ones, the only
daughter of the late Missionary Aea. Early
in January it removed another of the younger ones from our ranks, though at the time
of her death she was out of school for a few
weeks to be medically treated. The pupils
have for months manifested a quiet, and
docile spirit, and progress has been made by
them in their studies; gymnastics, music,
needlework and housework.

Principal writes : Through the abounding
mercy of our Heavenly Father we are enabled to record a ye.ir of prosperity. Almost
perfect health has prevailed. Not one pupil
has left our ranks, and seldom one for a
night's visit home. Arrangements of a most
satisfactory nature have been made, whereby
the providing of an abundance of wholesome
diet is rendered less laborious. Water has
been brought to our doors. It is our great
happiness to record the fact that this year's
duties, labors, past-times; all are entered
into with the freshness, vim, and spirit of
courage and faith.

Marquesas Mission.
This is the only mission directly under
the care of the Hawaiian Board At Micronesia this Board corporates with the A. B.
C. F. M. The Corresponding Secretary of
the Hawaiian Board and Rev. J. Kauhane,
as Delegates of the Hawaiian Board, visited
this mission in 1674. Were with the
Brethren of that mission in their General
Meeting at Puamau, Hivaoa. Some modifications were suggested, and adopted in regard to working the mission hereafter. Letters received from Rev. J. Kekela written
since the return of the delegation, bring
down the history of the mission to the present time.
Kekela writes under date of June 22d,
1874. As many as sixty or seventy persons
have come on the sabbath, and asked to be
instructed. Thirty-nine came to day school.
As our room is too small they have begun
to build a house for worship; the house is
now finished. This is a new thing for the
people of Puamau. Under date of January
10th, 1875, he writes again ■ The health
of my wife is restored. We do not wish to
return to the Hawaiian Islands, or to go to
Omoa, Fatuhiva, but we wish to remain at
Puamau, and do the work of the Lord here.
Our meeting house has been finished. It is

The Rev. H. Bingham, the only American

of joy is very full. It is difficult to realize
the truth, that we really have on the ground

this is a subject to be reported
else-
where, we will only say here, that it is
a subject of very grave importance, and
calls for the earnest, prayerful and patientattention of the pastors, the churches
and the friends of Christian truth throughout
the land. If we would sustain the Lord's
work on these islands, and scatter wide the
good seed of the kingdom in other realms,
where darkness and sin rule, we must spare
no proper effort to raise up and perpetuate
an enlightened and spiritual ministry for

Examination of the Theological School.
The examination of the Theological School
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association was
held June 14th, 1875. There were twelve
scholars present. The teachers the past
year have been : Revs. B. W. Parker, D.*
Baldwin and H. H. Parker.
The following is the course of study pur-
63
sued ia the School the past year, namely :
Bible History, Chronology, Sacred Geography, Church History, Natural Theology,
Evidences of Christianity, Exegesis of portions of the New Testament, Christian Theology, Composition and Delivery of Sermons,
and Pastoral Theology. Sacred music has
also been taught. In most of these branches
the students were examined, though owing
to the limited time allowed for the examina-
tion some of them were omitted.
From the appearance of the scholars in
the examination, we are satisfied that the
teachers have been very diligent, and use<
great care in imparting to their pupils a
knowledge of the great truths of the Bible
and the fundamental doctrines of the Chris
tian religion. There was no appearance o
carelessness or indifference, or mistakes in
their teaching. We were indeed highly
pleased with their whole work so far as
shown in the examination.
The scholars appear to have been obedient
and commendably attentive to the instructions of their teachers Most of them were
prompt and correct in their answers to questions as though they had comprehended the
subjects and firmly fixed the truths in their
minds. Though there was not an entire uniformity among them, some appeared more
ready than others.
The Committee would say a word, by
way of exhortation : the members of this
Association should earnestly pray the Lord
of the harvest that He will raise up suitable
candidates for the School, that they may be
prepared to go forth and cheerfully and
faithfully and earnestly labor in the Master's
vineyard, either in the home-field or in other
islands as the Lord shall direct.
We all, members of the Association and
members of the Hawaiian churches, should,
look for suitable persons to enter the school.
Men of wisdom, and of humility, and men
who fear God, and have been renewed by
the Holy Spirit. We ought also, all teachers and scholars, pastors and churches, to
feel deeply that these scholars will not be
prepared for their work, unless,they cultivate
a constant communion with Jesus the great
Teacher. Human knowledge and wisdom,
and human strength, will not fit them for
their work, unless they are clothed with humility, filled with love and faith, and with
the Holy Ghost.
We ought also to pray for these teachers
who are now instructing and training the
scholars, also that other teachers may be*
ready to supply their places, when through
age and infirmities they are no longer able
to labor, tbat to the school may be a permanent institution.
Let us be grateful to the " Lord of the
harvest" for the establishment of this Theological School, and for His care over it, and
pray that it may be a light to shine upon
this nation, and a blessing to other lands
now in darkness.

THE FRIEND,
JUNE I. 187ft.
Our Late Spelling Match,
Has afforded much pleasant and agreeable amusement to the community,—all
honor to " the noble company of martyrs "
who were willing, for the public good, to be
made, as some imagine, the "laughingstock"
of the audience ! But the Scottish country
parson, in his admirable essay, " Concerning
the way of putting things," remarks lhat
much depends upon the way a thing is put!
Now the audience had a good laugh over
those %ho mis-spelled a few words, which
have been duly reported in the newspapers.
All right; that is one way of putting the
spelling match. Let us now put it in another way ; if those gentlemen, ladies and
school children made so few mistakes, and
A Chinese Colporteur.—The Young
Men's Christian Association has recently
secured the services of a Chinamen, Mr. Sit
Moon, who is a convert to Christianity, to
labor among his countrymen in these islands. He held his first meeting at the
Bethel on Sunday evening last, on which
occasion the body of the church was crowded
with Chinese, many of whom were merchants. His address must have been very
interesting, as he kept the attention of his
hearers riveted on him for one hour, and at
the close no one appeared tired. In his
manner, he is very pleasant, and apparently eloquent. He stated that there
were between one and two hundred Christian Chinese in San Francisco, and gave an
interesting report of the progress of Christianity among them. We hope the Association which has taken hold of this work, will
be seconded by the public throughout the
islands, and that the colporteur will be assisted by those who can.— Gazette, May 19.

:
That after Livingstone's death any part of
his journals should ever reach the eyes of
the civilized world was so doubtful that only
the faintest hopes existed. He was a thousand miles from the sea, and unaccompanied
by white men. Yet, thanks to the affection,
sense and skill of two Africans, every scrap
of Dr. Livingstone's journals, as well as the
remains of the heroic explorer himself, finally reached the hands of those who were
entitled to receive them. The book before
us consists of extracts from the journals
brought by Livingstone's servants and from
.
those forwarded by the explorer through Mr.
Stanley. Mr. Waller, the editor of the
book, is an old friend of Dr. Livingstone's,
and has himself traveled in Africa—as a
missionary, we believe.
The journals cover a period of rather
more than seven years, having been commenced at Zanzibar on the 28th of January,
1866, the last entry bearing date of April 27,
1873, four days before his death. Livingstone was no sooner landed than the journal
began to evince the genuine traveler-spirit
there was in the man. He says :
"The mere animal pleasure of traveling
in a wild unexplored country is very great
when on lands of a couple of thousand feet
elevation. * * *
" We have usually the stimulus of remote
chances of danger either from beasts or men.
Our sympathies are drawn out toward our
humble hardy companions by a community
of interests. Nothing but the most pitiable
puerility would lead any manly heart to
make their inferiority a theme for self-exaltation. * * » The effect of travel on a
man whose heart is in the right place is that
the mind is made more self-reliant; it becomes more confident of its own resources—
there is greater presence of mind.
* *
No doubt much toil is involved, and fatigue
of which travelers in more temperate climes
can form but a faint conception; but the
sweat of one's brow is no longer a curse
when one works for God; it proves a tonic
to the system, and is actually a blessing."
Among his earliest entries is this :
" Now that 1 am on the point of starting
on tßJJsther trip into Africa, I feel quite exhiktarred. When one travels with the specific object in view of ameliorating the condition of the natives, every act becomes
ennobled."
Reaching Ujiji, a mere skeleton, he found
himself again the victim of theft—all his
stores had been sold by the Arab who had
them in charge. As usual when abused,
Livingstone excuses the villain; he calls
him a moral idiot, and the designation seems
appropriate when we read that the Arab
came daily to shake hands and pay his respects. A good Arab trader took pity upon
him, and offered to trade ivory for some
goods which he would give Livingstone, but
the explorer's honest pride was as great as
his need, and he replied "not yet;" he had
*
1875.
a few barter goods, and on these he meant
to exist as long as possible. He says:
"I felt in my destitution as if I were the
man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves, but I could not
hope for priest, Levite, or good Samaritan.
But when my spirits were at their lowest
ebb the good Samaritan was close at hand,
for one morning Susi came running at the
top of his speed and gasped out, 'An Englishman! 1 see him!' and off he darted to
meet him. The American flag at the head
of a caravan told of the nationality of the
stranger. Bales of goods, baths of tin, huge
kettles, cooking pots, tents, etc., made me
think, 'This must be'a luxurious traveler,
and not one at his wits' end like me.' (28th
October.) It was Henry Moreland Stanley,
the traveling correspondent of the New York
I/erald. * * * The news he had to
tell to one who had been two full years
without any tidings from Europe made my
whole frame thrill. The terrible fate that
had befallen France, the telegraphic cables
successfully laid in the Atlantic, the election'
of General Grant, the death of good Lord
Clarendon—my constant friend, the proof
that Her Majesty's government had not forgotten me in voting £1,000 for supplies, and
many other points of interest, revived emotions that had lain dormant in Manyuema.
Appetite returned, and instead of the spare,
tasteless, two meals a day, I ate four times
daily, and in a week began to feel strong. I
am not of a demonstrative turn; as cold,
indeed, as we islanders are usually reputed
to be, but this disinterested kindness of Mr.
Bennett, so nobly carried into effect by Mr.
Stanley, was simply overwhelming. I really
do feel extremely grateful, and at the same
time I am a little ashamed at not being more
worthy of the generosity. Mr. Stanley ha«
done his part with untiring energy; good
judgment in the teeth of very serious ob-
divulged the secret, the head man of the
village, Chitambo, came forward right nobly,
and offered sympathy, assistance and protection. The body was encased, for transportation, in the bark of a tree, and the explorer's
effects were opened, examined and inventoried in the presence of the entire party, the
name of the explorer and date of his decease
was carved on a tree, and then the party
started for the coast. They reached Unyanyembe, after an eventful march of about a
thousand miles, and there met the Aid Expedition which had been sent from the coast
under Lieutenant Cameron. It is lo the
credit of this officer that he so thoroughly
respected these brave and noble blacks that,
although he tried to dissuade them from
carrying their leader to the coast, he made no
attempt at compulsion; he seems to have
trented the men as equals in rank with himself, and even asked permission to attach a
return party, under Lieutenant Murphy, to
their march.
After reading the "Journals," however,
the reader's memory will be most full of
Livingstone himself. Undemonstrative and
modest, he was yet so thoroughly a man and
a Christian that his nobility of character reveals itself on almost every page. The example of his life is one that will stimulate
and benefit everyone, no matter what his
station. But once in all of the terrible
straits of the last seven years of his life did
he seem to doubt the care of his Heavenly
Father. His courage was unfailing, and so
was his determination, yet he never permitted bloodshed, violence or theft. He
seems to have been above all the tricks
which travelers in wild countries usually
consider excusable, and the result was that
he had but few troubles with the natives,
while many seem to have been impressed by
his goodness. He was constant in his religious teachings, and the memory of these,
joined to that of his blameless life, will
doubtless be the seeds of much good in a
land which other strangers have entered but
to destroy. Even in the most civilized communities, it is almost impossible to §nd any
one man embodying the Christian, hero, and
gentleman: to find such an one amidst the
savage wilds of Africa is to learn anew and
with peculiar force what a power there is in
stacles."
At last he became too ill even to be carried. Reaching Chitambo's village, on the
south side of Lake Bangweolo, he was unable to stand and could scarcely speak. A
hut was hurriedly built for him, but bis men
seemed to realize that the end was near.

and bring it into the shaved spot, the ends
pointing forward, reminding one of a unicorn's horn lying close to the head.
Infants' heads are often shaved entirely,
but usually some spots are left. Sometimes
the crown only is shaven, at others that
only has a little tuft on it. Again a strip
from ear to ear is shaved, and again a strip
from the forehead to the back of the neck;
sometime* a single head exhibits all these
varieties, having left only a little patch here

quite a curiosity. It is made out of a block
about nine inches long by six wide and six

and covered with a pillow of straw an inch
thick enclosed in a case and secured to the
wood by a string, about as conducive to rest
I think as the stone which Jacob took for his
pillow at Bethel. 3. Blacking the teeth,
practiced by married and marriageable females, disfigures many an otherwise pleasant face; but this custom is said to be de-

are of diverse materials and form.
The cheapest I think are made of straw
and braided so closely about the size and
shape ol the foot, that they seem comfortable
and durable. But most of them are of
wood, and from an inch to two or three
inches thick. The wood underneath is cut
away except a ridge near the heel, and another under the ball of the foot. Others
again are made of board shaped to the foot,
and raised on strips two inches to four or
five wide nailed across the board. These
seem desirable in muddy streets, but on hard
ground the wearer is about as noisy as an
iron-shod horse. They are all secured by
strings to the foot.
Pack cattle and horses are shod with
straw, braided into small cords and ingeniously fastened around and under the hoof.
And it is said without these shoes they very
soon get lame.

a little bell, which tinkles as they go.
6. Their mode of carrying babies. This
is to me the most striking oddity that I have
observed, and also quite economical. The
babe is set on the back of the bearer; its
head about as high as the shoulders of the
person who carries it, and secured in its
place by two bands, one under its arms and
the other under its thighs, passing around
the body of the carrier. The little ones so
carried seem to be very happy, and often
asleep with the head on the shoulder of the
mother, or brother or. sister, while the former is at work or the latter running about
in play. Occasionally the babe is supported
in a similar w»y on the bosom of its mother.

After taking a view from the summit of the

verandah. Up stairs there are two similar
corridors, on which all the bed rooms open,
and each has one or more French windows
opening on the verandah, with doors as well,
made like German shutters to close instead
of the windows, ensuring at once privacy
and coolness.
* * The rooms are tastefully furnished,
and there are plenty of lounging chairs in the
verandahs, where people sit and receive their
intimate friends. The result of the construction of the Hotel is that a breeze whispers through it by night and day. Everywhere only pleasant objects meet the eye.

windows look upon tropical trees in one

oranges, decorate the tables at each meal,

London, John Murray, 1875.
This is a copy of the title page of a new
book on the Sandwich Islands. The author,
it will be remembered, visited the group
some two years ago and traveled extensively
among the islands, ascending the lofty summit of Mauna Loa, and penetrating many of
the valleys which travelers seldom visit.
She came with an established character as
a magazine writer of rare excellence and a
critic capable of making her comparisons
with other parts of the world. Some years
ago she visited the United States, and as the
result of her travels published the Englishwoman in America." Under these circumstances Miss Bird has written a book, in the
form of letters to her sister in England,
which presents one of the most truthful pictures of our little island kingdom which we
have ever read, and we claim to have read
pretty much every book of this description
which has been published.

book upon the islands, having never seen
this part of the world. W. R. Bliss, of New
York, sketched this •' Paradise of the Pacific," but without visiting its groves or forests, craters or mountains, not even visiting
any spot except Honolulu. We admit the
cupola of the Hawaiian Hotel is a good
point of observation for this immediate vicinity, but it will hardly suffice to observe the
other islands, although aided by a good telescope or Professor Alexander's heliotrope.
Miss Bird does not write from hearsay,
but from an actual observation of all the
islands and all parts of the islands. Although coming hither, somewhat of an invalid, yet she mounted a horse, traveled
as no lady ever before traveled, over mountains, up ravines, through valleys and into
craters. Her description of the great active
crater of Kilauea is the most vivid and truthful we ever read. Possessing a knowledge
of botany she enlivens her pages with notices of ferns and other botanical specimens
which will delight the naturalist. Although
some have pronounced the book rather

She does not exhibit that common fault of
too many English and American travelers
on going abroad, who, making their native
lands the standard, condemn everybody and
everything which does not come up to their
standard. Before coming hither she had
seen other lands, and had mingled among
Christians of various communions, and al*
though loyal to her own church—the Established Church of England—yet she could
fellowship those of other communions provided they held tbe great essential doctrines
of Christianity. She appears to have been
in most thorough sympathy with American
missionaries on the islands. It is exceedingly pleasant to meet Christian ladies of
this stamp.
Miss Bird sometimes indulges in poetical
contributions for the periodicals, but as critic
of what other poets write she displays much
acumen and discrimination. Some months
ago we read a series of her articles, published in the London Sunday Magazine, upon

THE FRIEND,
EXTRACTS FROM A SERMON
Preached by theRev. Mr. Talmage, Brooklyn,
March, 1875.
I will aend my messenger, and lie shall
" Bsbold, way

before ate ; and tbe Lord, wboni ye
seek, thall suddenly oome to his temple, even ibe
messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in ;
behold, be shall oome, ssiih the Lord of boat*.
Mai. 1U.1."
I want to show this morning, so far as
God may help me, that the dying need of
the Church universal is a mighty awakening.
Standing in the midst of luxuriant religious
advantages, we might think perhups that the
earth was covered with knowledge of God,
but this is very far from being the fact.
I see this need in the first place from the
coldness in the majority of church members. If a religious society hnve a thousand
members, eight hundred of them are sound
asleep. If Christians can rally—that is the
professed Christians—lor communion day,
and succeed in not dropping the wine cup,
how many of them are satisfied ?
If a religious meeting be on a certain night, and on
that same night there be an entertainment
of another kind, where will you find these
professors ? There are thousands of men
who have their names on the Church books,
who really make religion a second-rate or
third-rate thing; living for themselves, unmindful of God and the salvation of the race.
worldly professor of religion tremble bei God to-day.
see a need for a great awakening in the
fact that those who preach the gospel
•)6 so little enthusiasm and zeal compared with what we ought (o have. Now
the gun kicks. It is a tremendous thing to
stand before an audience to preach, realizing
the fact that a majority of them will not believe what you say about God, and the soul
aod the great future.
If you, my brethren, prophesy smooth
things to your people without regard to their
characters, what chance will their be for you
in the day when you meet them at the bar
of God 7 You had better stand clear of
them. They will tear you to pieces.
I see a need for a great awakening in the
fact that the Kingdom of God is making
so slow progress. In many places the
Church is surrendering, and the world conquering. Within the last twenty-five years
the Church of God in this country have
averaged less than two conversions a year.
We gain two, we lose four; and if we do not
come to complete rout—to ghastly Bull Kun
defeat, it will be because some churches hurl
themselves to the front. Some never trampling on the favor of this world and snatchthe torn and shattered banner of
nuel, rush ahead crying, on! on !

ing in the multinudious going down of unforgiven souls. They are fighting their way
down. They storm and take every impediment put in their way, and who will throw
himself in the way of this stampede of dying
men and women—who crying halt! halt!
Is it not time for something desperate ? The
death-knell of a great multitude of souls is
tolling now, and your hand is on the rope.
An eternity of work to do in ten years, aye,
perhaps in one minute. I feel almost wild
with the sense of responsibility.
Shall J
meet them at the last, und 1 know I have not
half done my duty ? Oh, fathers and
mothers, brothers and sisters in Christ, we
must get on faster than this. We want not
so much a shower of blessings as a deluge.

Study of the Old Testament.
One of the most encouraging features of
this uge is the renewed interest awakened
among Christians and especially the young,
in the reading and study of the Old Testament. There has been a tendency in the
generation passing away to undervalue the
Old Testament scriptures, but now comes u
healthy reaction. Explorations and researches in Egypt, Palestine and other
oriental countries have thrown much light
upon the scriptures. Among our exchanges
by the last mail, came the supplement to
the Chicago Advance, or the illustrated
Bible Studies," and the " Child's World,"
by the Sunday School Union of Philadelphia. Both these publications contain cuts
and illustrations relating to the Book of
Judges, prepared for the Sabbath Schools,
held on the 2d of May. Samson is the
character illustrated and set forth. On that
day in more than a hundred thousand schools,
tbis was the topic. In order to bring out the
truth, free use is made of such standard
books as Stanley's Lectures on the Jewish
Church. We cannot imagine any study
more interesting and healthful for the young
and persons of riper yearsstflifost earnestly
we would commend the rts|og of the Old
Testament scriptures to all the readers of
The Friend, on land and sea. Seamen
during their long passages, enjoy a rare
opportunity for a dilligent reading of the
"
Usefulness of Spelling Matches.
There are three institutions peculiarly
American, —Thanksgiving, Fourth of July
and the Spelling Match. The first religious
and social, the second political and historical, and the third educational and useful.
We are not surprised that a European, an
Englishman or German, fails to appreciate
a genuine spelling mutch; but with an American it is associated with the pleasant
memories of childhood and youth. We are
heartily glad to learn from so many sources,
that they arc revived and generally popular
throughout the whole country from the lakes
to the gulf, and from Maine to California.
They are most useful, the people are being
educated. The present mania, if it may be
so denominated, is doing more to render uniform and harmonious the system of spelling
the English language than any practice before
adopted. The whole people are engaged in
the exercise,—members of Congress, clergymen, lawyers, editors, and in fine all classes,
including pupils of common schools, colleges
and universities. Dictionaries will be consulted and compared, and a common national system ol spelling gradually adopted.
"Glory and Shame of England."
Some years ago a book was published with
the above title. " The good and bad" of
English history and England's present condition wus contrasted. The book was written
by an American, and the writer was severely censured by all the English reviewers
and critics. But now we have a couple of
volumes, by an Englishman, which exactly
illustrates this title. We refer to "Greville's Journals of the Keigns of George IV.
and William IV." This is a book which is
having a great sale in England and America, but really such disgraceful characters
and scenes are portrayed as to make one
blush for the civilization of the nineteenth
century. According to Mr. Greville, George
IV. was about the meanest and most wicked
man of his age and nation. It must have
been a great relief to the English people to
emerge from such scenes as are portrayed
in these volumes, into the purity and respectability of the reign of Queen Victoria.

Our Chinese Colporteur.
We are most happy to inform our readers
and the contributors to the aid of the Young
Men's Christian Association, that Sit Moon
arrived by the last steamer from San Francisco, and has entered most successfully upon
his work among his countrymen in Honolulu. He has preached three successive
Sabbath evenings in the Bethel to audiences
averaging 150. His first topic of discourse
was the mission of the Son of God to our
world for the salvation of sinners ; his second the Prodigal Son; and his third the ten
commandments, but particularly the fourth,
relating to the observance of the Sabbath.
At the last gathering the exercises were varied by singing " There is a Happy Land "
in tbe Chinese language, accompanied by
the Seraphine. Many joined in singing, as
the colporteur has a class under instruction
in singing. So far as we are able to judge,
he has made a most happy impression upon
the Chinese community. He is an earnest
and practical man, speak* with much fluency, and from the attention manifest among
his hearer*, must greatly interest their mind*.
We are led thus to look mo*t hopefully

taken, it is a most memorable event of the
passing age. Mr. Moody is not a great man
intellectually, neither has he been educated
in the schools and colleges, but he has touched the heart of the English people, as no
other man has done since the days of Wesley and Whitfield. The bishops may have
declined to attend those great gatherings,
but that is of hut little consequence, so long
as the people go and are brought to Christ.
One feature of this marvelous movement is
noteworthy, the Lay element in preaching
is quite conspicuous. An English lady permit* us to copy the following extract from a
letter which was recently received from her
sister in England, who is a member of the
Church of England :
" Moody and Sankey, the American revivalists, have been doing great things in these
isles. Many seem to thinly lhat it is quite
a Pentecostal wave that is parsing over our
isles, 20,000 and 30,000 people meeting
night after night and day after day, to hear
the simple Gospel and that without any excitement whatever."
At the annual exhibition of the Boston
Chauncey hall school last week, a young
Japanese student took a prize. His scholarship ranks very high, for he stands sixth in
mathematics in the most brilliant class the
school ever had, and third in English poetry.
"Put on the Breaks."—We are glad to
learn that the Privy Council had the good
sense to refuse n retail license for intoxicating liquors for Wailuku. The vote we learn
stood tin ntg-one to three. It seems ridiculous for the government officials to talk
about increasing the population, promoting

willing to check in every way possible the
use of intoxicating liquors among foreigners
and Hawaiians. Rum and opium are the
curses of the Hawaiian Islands. They are

Triumph of Phonography.—A gentleman
informs us that he has seen a Chinese address, reported phonographically in a California newspaper,delivered by our Colporteur,
Sit Moon. This gentleman adds that he
read the same to a Chinaman, who understood the meaning of it. Be it remembered,
that neither the phonographer or this gentleman knew a word of Chinese. If mere
sound can be thus reported, we regard the
triumph, equal to that of telegraphy.
The Hampton Normal School rejoices in

and interesting reports of religious awakenings in England, France, America, and other
parts of the world. We have received a
most interesting letter from a young Englishman, formerly attached to an American vessel of war in Honolulu, who is now in Northern India, an employee on a rail-road. From
that distant part of the world he reports a
religious awakening among Europeans, under
the- preaching of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, an
American Evangelist, formerly of San Francisco, but who has for many years been
preaching in India and South Africa. Our
correspondent writes as follows, under date
of Lahore, February lltli, 1875:
A Mr. Taylor who has been a great deal
to and fro in the world, came here to preach,
and God blessed his ministry and gave, the
souls of these wanderers to His Son, and
thus sealed His servant's ministry. He is
still with us, loath to depart while the spirit of
awakening is abroad. In San Francisco,

MASSACRE
OK PART OK THE
AWASHONKS IN
CREW OF
1835—MISSION
THE
INFLUENCE.
By the last American mail, we received a
letter from Captain Jones, of Falmouth,
Mass., from which we copy a few paragraphs,
which will show that some forty years ago
he was attached to a ship, which was in imminent danger of being cut off at one of tbe
Marshall Islands. Capt. Jones, it appears,
was cruising in that part of the Pacific in
1835, some twenty years previous to the establishment of the American Missions on
Ebon:
On the sth of October, 1835, I was third
officer of the ship Awashonks, oi Falmouth,
Prince Coffin, Master, with a crew of 28 men
all told ; at noon, on that day, we luffed to,
maintopsails aback off the south-west point
of a low island half mile distant. Directly
around the point, to the northward and westward was an opening to a large lagoon extending several miles. By an observation of
the sun at that hour, I made the latitude
5 35' north. We took no observation for

not vary much from 168° east longitude.
Our object was to obtain refreshments; at
about half-past twelve, when I should think
the number of natives on the ship's deck
amounted to about thirty, and the ship's
company being somewhat scattered around,
by a preconcerted signal from one that we
called their chief, the whole company of
natives made a rush for the whale spades,
and other formidable weapons, and in less
than three minutes, either killed or drove
every man from the deck. After a short
conflict with one of the natives on the deck,
I was so fortunate as to escape to the forehold unhurt. From the forehold I succeeded
in getting through, between decks, to the
cabin with one seaman, and got possession of
the fire arms, consisting of four muskets and
two large pistols, and plenty of ammunition.
We kept up a constant fire about one hour,
four other seamen coming to our assistance
during the time. We killed but three of the
natives on the deck, one of which was the
chief at the steering wheel, but as the ship
lay to with her stern toward the land (and
the natives not knowing how to avoid tho

fire from the cabin windows by coming on
the ship's bow instead of a direct passage to
the stern,) we cut off all communication
between the ship and the land. We sup
posed that we killed about fifteen or more in
aH, the greater part in canoes, coming on
board, sighted from* the stern windows. Our
loss amounted to seven killed, the Captain,
first and second officers, and four seamen, a
part were killed in the water, men that
jumped overboard. Five were seriously
wounded, and myself, with whale spades, but
recovered. The booty taken by the natives
amounted to one whale boat, several spades,
harpoons, lances, &c. When they took the
boat, they cut the tackles and all the fastenings without removing the cranes on which
the boat set. The boat then rolled off and
fell into the water bottom up with two holes,
where the cranes had gone through ; two of
the natives had left with the boat, sitting
astride on the keel, when they came within
range of the guns they were both shot, and
we saw them no more.
When they left the ship they all sprung
overboard in one group. The canoes in
which they came on board, having been dispatched for reinforcements, and on their return were unable to reach the ship's side.
The wind was very light, and sea smooth,
I learned but two words of their dialect—
O Jaki," these words were repeated often,

their definition I did not learn.
A book, published by the Harpers of New
York, called the " Nimrod of The Sea," or
"American Whalemen," contains a brief
account of the Awashonks massacre; but it
was published without any official information, and is in many of its details, quite
erroneous. I do not think the natives at
that early day had learned the force of fire
arms, in several instances I pointed a
loaded musket at them from the cabin windows, not more than fifteen yards distant,
while they were looking me full in the face,
with no expression of fear, but making every
effort with their paddles to gain the side of
the ship. One of the natives who escaped,
received a deep spade cut across the arm,
between the elbow and the shoulder; should
he be living to-day, would probably show a
large scar.
As I was the only officer left alive, the
command of the ship devolved on me, and
we decided to make a direct passage to
Honolulu where we arrived on the 25th of
November, I then being a young man of only
21 years, and not wishing to retain the responsibility of commander, gave up the charge
of the ship to Mr. Jones, United States Consul. He appointed John O. Proctor as
master, and I accepted the situation of first
officer, and we took in freight and passengers,
and came directly home to Falmouth, where
we arrived May 20th, 1836. Ourpassengers
were the Rev. Joseph Goodrich, wife and
three children ; Mrs. Brinsmaid and two children ; and Mrs. Johnstone, at that time a
teacher, who had under her charge Miss
Mary Warren; our passengers were very

The Pacific University and its Founders.
Among the rising institutions of learning
west of the Rocky Mountains, is the Pacifiic
University of Oregon. It is something more
than a quarter of acentury since its foundation was laid, and its growth has been gradual, but sure. By the last mail, we received
from J. Quinn Thornton, Esq., of Salem,
Oregon, a pamphlet entitled," History of the
title to real estate in Salem." The writer
had occasion to introduce, for an illustration,
the origin of the Pacific University and its
founders. We think our readers cannot but
■be interested in perusing the following para-
graphs
:
"But we would not willingly permit the
name of Tabitha Brown to die and pass
beyond recall; for it is said that "the
memory of the just is blest."
She came to Oregon in 1846, by the way
of what, in those days, was known as the
Southern or Applegate route. Nothing but
an unconquerable will and an amount of
energy seldom equaled, enabled her to successfully encounter the hardships, privations
and dangers of that journey. When she
left the canyon of the Umpqua mountain
some of her even less fortunate fellow travelers were so reduced in their means of subsistence that they were living upon cattle that
had perished in the passage of the mountain
because of starvation and fatigue.
Mrs. Brown settled near or at what is
now known as Forest Grove, in Washington
county. Some time in the year 1847, she
expressed to the late Rev. Harvey Clarke a
desire to become wealthy. Mr. Clarke,
with some surprise, ventured to inquire what
use she would make of riches if she should
in the providence of God become their possessor. "I would," she answered, " establish an orphan asylum, and would build up
an educational institution on broad and deep
foundations, having a capacity in both institutions to meet all the present necessities of
Oregon, but with such power of expansion
as to furnish not only a home for every child
that may hereafter be left in a state of orphanage, but an education also. And in
addition to this I would provide such facilities as would enable all parents in the country to educate their sons and daughters in
the higher branches without sending them
abroad." This answer clearly enough indicates that she was no ordinary woman, that
she possessed a large, warm and benevolent
heart, that her judgment was clear, and that
her intellect was strong and capable of comprehending the necessities of the future.
This conversation was really the germ of
the Pacific University. The wish she expressed 'and her answer to Mr. Clarke's
question met a ready response from him,
and he was glad to find in her a prompt, energetic and sympathizing helper in every
good word and work. They immediately
began to make plans and to devise schemes
for the purpose of furnishing such educational facilities as the present needs of the
country demanded, and that should keep
pace with the ever-growing wants of the
country.
To this end they built a log house in
1848; and in it this noble woman taught
and boarded about fifty children, charging
one dollar per week for each child. But
low and apparently inadequate as was this
sum, she was not able to collect it. Children
still came into school until their number so
increased that Mrs. Brown found her strength
and even her great powers of endurance
unable to the labor incident to her situation.
She then gave up teaching and devoted herself to boarding scholars, who received their
instruction from hired teachers to whom she
paid all she received over what was necessary to meet the absolute necessary expenses
of her establishment under a carefully devised system of the most rigid economy.
For the purpose of layintr a foundation
broad enough and sufficiently firm to give
some assurance of permanency to the school,
Mr. Clarke, in the year 1850, set apart a
quarter section of land, laying off the tract
into lots and blocks. A Board of Trustees
was appointed, in which Geo. H. Atkinson,
D. D., was an efficient and untiring co-laborer with Mr. Clarke. Some of the blocks
were appropriated to make up the deficiencies in the salaries of the teachers.
Under a charter grantedby the legislature,
the institution was at length raised to the
rank of a University. In 1853, President
Marsh was sent from the East to take charge
of it, Mr. Clarke and Mrs. Brown laboring
all the while as at the first to make it indeed
a success. Two or three times she declined
to continue the keeping of boarders, because
of inadequate strength; but the want of
suitable accommodations had such an effect
in reducing the number of pupils in attendance as to threaten its very existence.
Stimulated by a sense of this danger she
would again open her house for boarders at
greatly reduced prices. Finally her health
quite broke down in 185*7 ; and in the following year she went to her reward in the
seventy-ninth year of her age, mourned by
all who had only known her to revere her.
Mr. Clarke died in the same year, but
whether before or after Mrs. Brown, is not
remembered by the writer.
Mrs. Brown was ever ready to contribute
of her substance to the church, and to this
institution of learning, of which she and
her chief fellow-laborer, Rev. Harvey Clarke,
were r.ertaiidy th»i founders, although
others built well upon the stones they had
laid in prayer, toil and self-denial. During
her last sickness, the house in which she had
boarded the pupils was given to the institution ; and this, together with ten dollars for
the bell of the University, were her last
donations to what is now known as the
Pacific University.
Editorial Remarks.—The perusal of this
pamphlet of Mr. Thornton recalls to mind,
one of the most delightful episodes in our
life. We refer to a visit to Oregon, daring
35
the summer of that most eventful year,
1849, in the history of Oregon and California. We landed there in May, from the
U. S. transport ship Massachusetts, taking
200 soldiers who had been conveyed around
Cape Horn. The vessel was commanded
by Captain David Wood, of Newburyport
Mass., who was a graduate of Harvard University, and a class-mate of Prescott, the
Historian, in 1814. Captain Wood, at fourscore, is now an officer in the Savings Bank
of his native town.
On leaving the vessel at Fort Vancouver,
we visited Portland, Oregon City, Salem
and other places scattered through the
Williamette Valley. By referring to a
journal of our delightful rambles on
horse-back, published after our return to
Honolulu, we find that it was our privilege
twice to visit the site where the Pacific
University now stands. Our "notes," as
then jotted down, so remarkably correspond
to the statements of Mr. Thornton, in regard
to the founders of the Pacifiic University,
that we venture to re-publish them from the
Friend of October 15th, 1849 :
During my two visits to the Tualatin plains,
I became much interested in the efforts now
making for the establishment of Tualatin
Academy, by the ministers and people of the
Congregational Church. A school was origi-
nally started at this place by the Rev. Mr.
Clarke, and an elderly lady, Mrs. Brown.
They were knowing to the fact that there
were many children in the vicinity who were
orphans, growing up in ignorance. Moved by
a most commendable spirit to provide for
their education, a school was opened, denominated " An Orphan School." Mrs. Brown,
living in a rude log-house, received several
children into her family as boarders, a neighboring log-house was occupied as a school
and meeting-house. Amid many discouragements the school prospered and more scholars
presented themselves than could find comfortable lodging. After a few months, the
friends of the school decided to enlarge these
accommodations, and change the name of
the school to that of " Tualatin Academy."
About this period, the trustees secured the
permanent services of the Mr. and Mrs.
Sells, formerly Missionaries of the American
Board among the Indians, in Middle Oregon.
I am confident that two more suitable persons
could not have been selected for the school;
the Rev. Mr. Eells had been for several
i
months previously engaged in teaching at
the Methodist Institute " in Salem.—There

petent and successful teacher. Having a
teacher, the trustees resolved to erect suitable buildings. At the time of my visit the
workmen were engaged in putting up a two
story log-house for the Rev. Mr. Eells'
family. While upon the ground, 1 resolved
on my return to the Islands to present the
claims of Tualatin Academy and solicit donations. There I fancied 1 saw the foundations being laid of an institution, which
might, in due time, vie with the Colleges and
Universities on the shores of the Atlantic.—

THE FRIEND, MAY,
Williams, Amherst, Nassau Hall, and numerous other now flourishing institutions
would show that they sprung from an equally
humble origin. The time was when the
now richly endowed Harvard was sustained
by l-he contributions of the poor colonists of
Massachusetts Bay. If a person needs encouragement to contribute for the establishment of schools, academies and colleges, in
a new country, let him attentively peruse the
history of almost any one of those noble institutions which are now the pride of the
people in the Eastern and Middle States. A
small donation of a few dollars, at the
period when such institutions are struggling
into existence, is really of more value than
a " princely gift " when the same institution
shall have arrived at maturity."
We would simply add, that such was our
faith in the rising prospects of the Pacific
University that we sent forward a donation
contributed by foreigners in Honolulu.
Our Island Authors and Professionals
Abroad.
Some months ago we furnished a catalogue of our Island boys abroad in schools
and colleges. It is quite gratifying to learn
from various sources, that our Island youth
when emerging into manhood attain positions enviable, lucrative and honorable. On
taking up the April number of " Scribner's"
monthly and glancing over the list of contributors, we were gratified to notice a poem
from T. Munson Coan, and an article entitled, '• The Statue of Life," from G. P.
Lathrop. We claim both as our Island
writers. In the same number we also find a
commenditory notice of Mr. Francis Lathrop
as a painter, whose sketch for a portrait "
"
is on exhibition in New York. Both Lathrops are remembered among the youth of
Honolulu some twenty years ago.
Among our Island youth who have entered the learned professions, we are represented abroad by two Emersons and a
Lyons, as physicians ; a Castle and an Armstrong, as lawyers ; an Emerson, six Gulicks,
and a Thurston, and several others, as clergymen, while many more are abroad as
teachers, merchants and men of business,
from all of whom it is most gratifying to
hear favorable reports. America may have
given to our Islands some fifty mission families, but those families have sent back to
America more than twice that number of
promising sons and daughters, besides retaining " a good home supply." This is a
species of reciprocity that binds the Islands
and America by bonds stronger than those

Obituary of Mrs Delia S. Bishop.
We are again called upon to chronicle the
death of one ol those who came to these
Islands as a Missionary under the auspices
of the American BoaiH. Mrs. D. S. Bishop,
formerly Miss Delia Stone, was born in
Bloomfield, N. Y„ May 26, 1800, and died
in Honolulu, April 13, 1875, hence was
nearly seventy-six years of age. She removed from her native place and resided in
Rochester, N. Y and embarked from Boston,
Nov. 3, 1827, in company with the Rev. L.
Andrews, Rev. J. Green, Rev. P. J. Gulick,
Rev. E. W. Clark, Dr. Judd, and others.
They arrived safely the following spring. A
few months after her arrival, she was married to the Rev. A. Bishop, stationed at
Knilua, Hawaii. During her earlier years
of Missionary life, she was ardently devoted
work of instructing a school of native
Idren, numbering 100 pupils, for sixhours
a J*iy, not neglecting the domestic duties
which fell to her lot. Thus she continued
her labors until 1837, when her nervous system guve way, and she was compelled to
relax from her wonted labors and change the
nature of .work ; but it was always her aim
,
1876.
The Friendship of Jesus.
He that findeth Jesus, fmdeth a treasure
of infinite value, a good transcending all
that can be called good; and he that loseth
Jesus, loses more than the whole world.
That man only is poor in this world who
liveth without Jesus; and that man only is
rich with whom Jesus delights to dwell.
It requires great skill to converse with
Jesus, and great wisdom to know how to
keep Him; but not the skill of men, nor the
wisdom of this world.
Be humble and
peaceful, and Jesus will come to thee ; be
devout and meek, and He will dwell with
thee.
Without a friend, life is unenjoyed; and
unless Jesus be thy chosen friend, infinitely
loved and preferred above all others, life will
man who can bring into the house over
3,000 eggs a year is the husband for her,
and she wishes me, as an expert, to tell you
how it is done.
No eggs need ever be expected from
Brahma hens. I have had all the Asiatic
a
fowls—Brahmas, Cochin China, Shanghais,
Malays and Javas—have showered upon
them grain and kindness, and am now persuaded tnat the whole Malay race, both of
men and hens, is indolent, malignant ana
useless. There is no business in them.
Brahminism it-self is a system of selfihness :
the hens have no disposition to lay eggs ;
they eat incessantly, straddle about the world
with an awkward gait, which is enough of
itself to condemn them, and are only large
and plump when roasted, because they cannot help it. Like geese and turkeys, they
lay but one batch of eggs as their year's
work, and then insist on sitting; they trill
do it, like George Washington, with their
little hatch-it. You can no more get eggs
from Asiatic fowls by oats than you can
be to thee a scene of desolation and distress.
It is madness to place confidence and delight
in any other. Of all that are dear to thee
then, let Jesus be the peculiar and supreme
object of thy love.
Let it be thy continual prayer for all, even make a deafand dumb child into a musician
for thy enemies, that all may be blest with by feeding sounds and tongues.
the knowledge and love of Him.

Death of Captain Abbaham Russell.—Another
link between tho piiat and tbe present of Hawaii nei
was severed on Tuesday last, by the death, at lolani
Palaeo, of " Admiral Kussell," as he has been familiarly called for many years past. Capt. Russell was
born at Kussell Mills, in the town of Dartmouth,
near New Bedford, Mass., in the year 1807, according to his own statement, although in tbe judgment
of many he was older. He came of a well-known
and respectably connected family, of tbe Society of
Friends. Choosing Ihe whaling business as a profession, he first visited these islands in 1827. Subsequently he was here in command successively of the
barks Bremen and Bartholomew Gosnold of New
Bedford. While in the latter vessel, through some
kind offices rendered to the chiefs of these islands,
they became much attached to him, and Nahienaena,
sister of Kamehameha HI. adopted him, after the
native fashion, as her child, and when dying she
strictly charged her brother and the high chiefs to

with them he always found a welcome
Recently, by command of His present Majesty, a neat
cottage had been erected in the Palace enclosure as a
residence for Capt. Kussell, where doubtless he expected to spend his declining days in quiet and comfort. His last active service at sea was some ten
years ago, but he may be considered to have been a
permanent resident here since the loss of the bark

His funeral took place from bis late residence in the
Palace grounds on Wednesday last, and was largely
attended. Their Majesties tbe King and Queen and
the members of the Royal Family and of the Court
attended tho services at the house, which were conducted by Rev. Dr. Damon, and the King's carriage

The person who borrowed of the editor
the London Geographical Magazine for December, 1874, will please return the same, as
its loss will break the regular file, which are
preserved for binding.
Restful Music.—The highest compliment
which we have heard paid to the late musical entertainment of Philip Phillips, was that
of a German eminent in musical circles, who
remarked that " Philip Phillips' singing was
the most restful he ever heard." There ia
a chord in the human soul that restful music
touches. Under its influence the soul feels
refreshed. Our church choirs should sing
more in this style. The Sabbath is a day
of sacred rest; now our music should be in
harmony with the day, then will the Sabbath
become more and more a foretaste of the
rest."
There remain" Saints' everlasting
eth therefore a rest to the people of God."
"
A New Scientific Association.—Just as
our paper was going to press, we learned
with much delightthat a microscopical association was about being organized. A subscription list, headed by His Majesty with
$50, and followed by others equally generous, is now circulating. It in proposed to
procure a microscope of high power." This
is a movement in the right direction. Dr.
Harkness, now visiting the islands, is member of a similar association in San Francisco, where great attention is paid to experimenting with the microscope. The lectures
of Dr. Wythe, on this subject, at the Lyceum about one year ago, will not soon be
forgotten. More hereafter.
"
" The Islander."—We gladly welcome
this little weekly, and are confident if well
managed it will succeed. Among newspapers
we recognize the same law as Darwin has
enunciated in regard to animals, " Survival
of the Fittest." Now to the Islander, we
say most heartily, "Welcome stranger;

Higher Education in America.
There are thiqlkg men in the United
States, who advocate the establishment of a
National University. In the mean time,
schools and colleges for the education ofboth
sexes are being endowed most munificently,
while all the older colleges are receiving
large additions to their funds. Recently a
Mr. Hopkins, a Quaker, died in Baltimore,
who founded a large hospital and also appropriated by his last will the sum of three
and a half millions of dollars for educational purposes. This fund has been entrusted
to a Board of Trustees, who are allowed a
wide margin in the use of its income. It has
been decided to devote the same to the
higher purposes of an University Education.
President Oilman, of the University of California, has been invited to preside over this
institution in its organization and advancement.
This subject of a higher grade of education, is now attracting much attention. At
a meeting of College graduates, recently
held in St. Paul's, Minnesota, S. C. Gale,
Esq., a graduate of Vale College, delivered
an address, from which we quote as follows,
it having been published in St. Paul's Daily
Press of January 20th :
" Mr. President—l think all the schools of
learning in this country are entering upon a
new and promising era. And I think I see
the dawn of the day when the American
university will furnish an education so supremely excellent, so valid, so necessary, so
cheap, that hardly one aspiring man or
woman will fail to make use of it.

money. It is likely to receive
it. The colossal private fortunes of this age
and country sre being appropriated as never
before. One wise rich man has at last discovered that there is a more excellent way
of disposing of his wealth than dissipating
it through his sons, spoiling them in the
process. The great acts of private munificence within a few years are astonishing;
and they are chiefly in aid of secular institutions of learning for the people. Not many
months ago James Lick, of California, 76
years old, a nomadic unlettered frontiersman,
but a king, as his acts proved, lest his heirs
and their lawyers might defeat his noble
scheme if trusted to a will, brought out his
strong box one day and poured into the lap
of the people of that State twenty hundred
thousand dollars, all he had, saying, " This
k my everlasting legacy to you, that you
may be lifted up from the ground into light,
comfort and culture." Does James Lick need
a monument?
I tell you the gray, cloudcapped peaks of the Sierra Nevada will
sooner melt out of sight than this old man
with his benefactions be forgotten ! And so
all over the country, by the princely gifts of
rich men, new colleges and special schools of
science and art are being founded. See
something of what has been done in the

found the Boston University §2,000,000 ;
and that institution is now as prosperous as
its policy is broad and liberal. The Smith
College for girls at Northampton, with a half
million of dollars behind it, donated by a
woman, with structures and grounds of marvelous perfection, will open its door for the
first time during the coming season. Then
there is the Durant Female College at Weilesley, near Boston, having attached to it a
magnificent domain of 300 acres in lake,
woods and park, with a building, finished
within a month, said to lie the most elegant
and perfect for its purpose on the continent.
Next September, 300 girls will be invited to
occupy it, nnd they will each pay a total expense for board and tuition of $250 per
annum. Ten years ngo, Nathan Vassar
founded the college, called niter him, nt
Poughkeepsie, N. Y„ where now 400 girls
are pursuing a curriculum of studies not
much inferior to that of the oldest and best
colleges of the land. Within six years
Ezra Cornell has given eight hundred thousand dollars to endow Cornell University, nt
Ithica. To this bounty the Slate has added
as much more. Already this University is
among the foremost in the country; and its
promise for the future, in my opinion, equals
if it does not exceed them nil. Four weeks
ago Ezra Cornell died and was buried. I
hope they will inscribe on his tomb simply
his own memorable words, "I would found
an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.'* The old colleges,
moreover, from the same sources, have been
enriched nnd widened more within fifteen
years than in the fifty years preceding, and
chiefly in the direction of science and art.
Will this stream of munificence continue?
I think it will widen and deepen as time
goes on.
" Here, at length, is the method by which
the broader common sense of the people will
perpetually be felt in fixing the character of
the university. Nine-tenths of the men who
make these gifts have not been trnined in
the old schools of learning, and I am triad
of it."
to
Rev. Mr. Cameron.
By the last Australian steamer came Mr.
Cameron, a missionary, who was sent to
India, underthe auspices of the missionary society of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.
He had labored in the vicinity of Bombay
until by the sod effects of a sun-stroke,
he was compelled to relinquish his post,
and for the benefit of his health, visited
the colony of Victoria. Partially restored,
he is now going on a visit to Canada, the
early home of Mrs. Cameron. On their route
thither will visit Detroit, Michigan, where
Mrs. C. has two sisters. Mr. C. furnished us
with files of Bombay papers. The following
appeared in one of the colonial papers, published at Ueelong, Victoria, where the subject of the prohibition of intoxicating liquors
was under discussion:
The Rev. C. I. Cameron in seconding
the"resolution remarked that he had himself
been a total abstainer for 23 years, and intended to continue so for the remainder ofi
his life. (Applause.)
In India, where be
had labored, there were 200,000,000 of
human beings, ofwhom 10,000 were annually
destroyed by furious animals which inhabited the jungles. The Hindoos, averse tc
shedding of blood of any kind, regarded the
sacrifice with indifference, but ihe BritisL
Government interposed and offered a reward
of 300 rupees for every tiger killed. Now,
notwithstanding all that Brahmins and Hindoos might say to the contrary, he though)
they would all agree that the destruction of
these animals was a humane and proper object. Yet, here there were no wild beasts,
but an nrmy of demons tolerated that annually sacrificed not only thousands of lives,
but all that was noble, pure and worthy U
being guarded by the community. Strong
drink produced nine-tenths of the pauperism,
three-fourths of the crime, one-half of the
disease, one-third of the suicides, threefourths of the juvenile depravity, and onefifth of the shipwrecks by which the world'
was nfilicted, and he thought it was therefore
the duty of the Government to endeavor to
curtail its ravages The continuance of the
evil could not be defended on the score of
sound political economy, and he related the
anecdote uf the Roman matron, who when
asked to exhibit her jewels, introduced her
visitor to her nursery, and pointing to her
children declared they were her treasures, as
as nn incident that speakingly proved that
there were other things besides money that
constituted the wealth of nations. (Cheers.)
The wealth, of the colony was its boys ant
girls, and men and women, and whatever
injured them physically or intellectually waann injury to the vital interests of the commonwealth. (Loud applause.)"
P. O. Stamps.—The son of a Congregationalist professor at Washington is an enthusiastic collector of postage stamps. During
the last year he received from the Sandwich
Islands a gilt of nine stamps, three sets of
three stamps each of the earliest emissions of
that missionary isle. Improving his own
collection by the addition of one set. hi
wrote lo a dealer in such articles in New
York, offering a second set for sale, and th«
dealer sent him ten dollars for each stamps
or thirty dollars for the set. Encouraged by
this success, he wrote to another denier it
England, offering the third set for sale, anil
the English dealer wrote back offering
twenty-five dollars for each stamp, or seven
ty-hve dollars for the set. The offer was
accepted, and the bill of exchange then sold
for ten per cent, premium. The six little
stamps therefore realized one hundred and
twelve dollars to the young collector. We
chronicle the experience with fear and
trembling, lest it feed with new fuel a fever,
which happily is just now running low.
New Year's Customs at Washington.—
A correspondent in Washington thus writes. Year's Day I noticed that in most
"ofOntheNew

Religious Awakening in England.
A century has elapsed since the great
awakening in England, under the preaching
»f Wesley and Whitfield. Thoughtful his•vorians do not hesitate to attribute to that
movement the salvation of England from the
flighting influence of deism nnd infidelity.
It is now an acknowledged fact by sound
.churchmen of the church of England, tlmt
it was a great mistake to turn away from
'Wesley and to have driven him into the
n Selds and burns. Ineffectual efforts have
since been made to win back the millions of
Wesleyans thus forever alienated from the
established church, but not from the church

Another wave of religious awnkening is
of
low passing over the united kingdom
Ireland nnd England. The American Evangelists have been cordially welcomed to Scotland and Ireland by the united
sentiment of all evangelical communions,
ft is a source of much rejoicing that an
oqually cordial sentiment pervades the religious community of England, including
.many of the clergymen of the r-stablished
•hurch. Messrs. Moody and Sankey have
visited London, after laboring in the northern cities of Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds
and Birmingham. A preliminary meeting,
consisting of nearly one hundred ministers

»n Monday, January 25th, at the Beaumont
Institution, with a view to furthering the objects contemplated by the intended visit of
Messrs. Moody and Sankey to the city of

Christians have been revived, refreshed, and
stimulated to new consecration and service ;
and very many, both old and young, who
before were strangers to Saving Grace, have
professed their acceptance of Christ as their

Messrs. Moody and Sankey have agreed
lo spend in London the four months above
named, and it is hoped that they will be assisted in the work by men of known Evangelistic gifts, who have been invited, not
only from other parts of our own land, but
also from America.
The Committee of the Central Noon
Prayer Meeting, representing all denominations, has secured, with the approval of Mr.
Moody, the Agricultural Hall, Islington, for
ten weeks, from 28th February to 9th May.
Exeter Hall has been taken for the Central
Noon Prayer Meeting. Other large halls
arc being sought for ; some have been already
offered ; and it may be needful to erect temporary structures in one or two localities in
which buildings nf sufficient dimensions
cannot be obtained.

THE FRIEND,
THE FRIEND.
APRIL. 1, 18T6.
Isthe Newspaper
a Correct Mirror of Social
Life?
In reading the seventh edition of a volume of sermons by Alexander Raleigh, D.D.,
published in Edinburgh, Scotland, we met
with the following paragraph :
"The much-vaunted publicity which everything gets by the press, is in a large part
the publicity of the evil and dark side of our
social life. It is the publicity of amusements
and follies, and immoralities and vices, and
crimes. Read the daily journals Irom the
beginning of the year to the end of it, you
will find but little of the nobleness of human
nature and human life in the things recorded
and commented upon."
Finding this remark in a sermon, it suggests the idea that, as our printer is calling
for copy, we will moralize or sermonize upon
the shortcomings of newspapers, (not imagining for a moment that our little " 7x9
monthly sheet will be reckoned among the
"
journals aspiring to mirror forth the social
life of the passing age, or daguerreotype the
passing daily life of the world).
We think there is too much of truth in
the paragraph we have quoted. We should
be sorry to think society was as corrupt and
vicious as represented in the daily press of
the cities of San Francisco, New York, London, or Sydney. Papers from those cities
are constantly passing under our inspection,
and really they appear to be nearly filled up
with reports of the police courts, criminal
trials and scandal investigations. Reporters
seem to vie with each other to publish some
startling murder scene or detail with disgust-

periodicals. "No editor should allow his
pen to record language which he would not
utter with his lips." An editor should remember that he is a gentleman, or ought to
be. His paper ought never to become the
vehicle of ungentlemanly language, not even
over the signature of an anonymous writer.
We had proceeded thus far in our moralizing, when our eye glanced upon the following paragraph in the last number of the Islander : "As well might a clergyman preach
what he does not believe to please his audience and for the sake of his salary as a
journalist act in the same way to his readers
from financial considerations. We further
hold that while it may be unnecessary to the
world's progress, that any particular journal
should continue, it is necessary that whatever is spoken or published should be honest
and manly."
Now we do not think the conductors of
our island weeklies are lacking honesty and
manliness in giving expression to their ideas.
Far from it. We think in some respects
they are very high-toned and honorable, but
this is wherein we complain of them, they
find fault with each other in small matters
the dotting of an " i " or the omission of an
o." Now while it is well for us to mind
our"p's"and "q's"—yet we do not think
it of sufficient importance to make a manifest error of proof-reading, the subject for an
editorial. The editor or editors of the Islander appear to have entered upon their
labors with a high ideal, hence we may all

numerous and more expensive buildings than
the Shinto Shrines, and they are kept in
good order. I believe, entirely by free-will
offerings. Within two miles of us, there is
a Btidhist monastery, where some twenty or
thirty young men are preparing for their
ministry. I believe they are partly supported
by then own labor; partly by offerings of
the people. Provision for the Budhist ministry seems not to be very liberal, as I know
of two, said to be priests, and are now domestics in private families. One of them
attends family worship, in which the Scriptures are read and expounded. I have seen
men on the streets who appeared to be praying as they walked. But the most touchingsight I saw was a poor woman in front of a
temple, stooping over a small stone image
with a child, probably two or three years old,
very close to her, and whom she seemed to
be teaching to worship it, as she appeared to
be doing. Oh! thought I, if Christian
mothers were generally as zealous to teach
their little ones to love and worship the
blessed Savior as this poor heathen seemed
to be, teaching her child to worship an
image—how soon the world would be
converted!
It is said, a triumphant Christian death at
Yokohama recently, made a very deep impression 'on some natives who witnessed it;
and that one of Mrs. Puryn's pupils had
been, through the Spirit, the happy agent of
converting several, including her parents I
believe. At the various stations and outstations of the Board, the work seems to be
deepening and widening. Mr. Nisima is
said to have produced quite an awakening in
his native place.
Imamura, who accompanied my son lo
the Islands, seems to be a growing Christian.
And it is said, gives very satisfactory addresses. My son, his wife and sister, went
to Sanaa, 18 miles distant. He preached on
the Lord's day and left the ladies there
throughout the week. They were busy from
morning till night in teaching the females
who came in small numbers, or whom, by
invitation, they visited at their own homes.
In the evening, both sexes assembled, and
parts of the New Testament were read and
remarked upon, first by the natives and then
by the missionaries. It is said that females
there show more interest in religious institutions than at any other station.
As an instance of the change coming over
this people, take the following: About a
year ago, at one of the hospitals at which
Dr. Berry was invited by native doctors to
practice and give instruction, he consented to
do so, only on the condition that the Bible
should be read and explained as a part of his
labors. When they heard this, half of those
who invited him, objected and withdrew ;
they, however, subsequently returned, and
now the number is increased to about 200.
And recently in drawing up rules for their
guidance, he fearing to offend some of them,
should he first refer to the Bible, put down
several items, and then alluded to the Bible.
When reading his paper to them, and came
to the Bible, they said, that should have

wfor ears.
Mit. KuiTOii:—Aa these isles are more and more resorted to, for purpose* of health, recreation, sight
seeing aud scientific purposes, an well as for business objects, and as inquiries fire frequently made in regard lo temperature, bealth, &c., I have thought that tbe publication of reliable data, bearing upon
these points, might be of public service. I have therefore brought together, in one tnble, from the
first and second volumes nl' the Hawaiian Spectator, the meteorological observations of tbe late T C. B.
Rooke, M. D., covering a period of two years in succession, one of them unusually dry and tho other unusually wet. But the two will doubtless give a fair sample of the average climatic condition of the locality
where the observations wero made.
Tbe islands have a great variety of climate depending upon the Altitude and locality, but mild ami salubrious in all habitable places. The windward sides of the islands being wet, and the leeward sides dry.
These observations were made in Honolulu, in latitude 21° 18' iiortli, and longitude 158" V west, lyiug on
the leeward or southwest side of Oahu, and is one of tbe warmest and dryest localities in the group.
I should odd that tbe post winter has been colder lliiui any one I have experienced in a resideuce of
thirty-eight years in Honolulu, the thermometer several times fulling to 56° nt C o'clock A. M., nnd to 52"
on the oth of January, in a northerly exposure; whilst at the transit of Venus station near tbe seaside th«
mercury marked 50" 5' at (I o'clock A. M.
8o far as I know, this is without precedent in Honolulu.
Yours truly,
S. N. Castle.

nuptials were very numerous and very valuable; but they all dwindle into insignificance

These diamond ornaments, which consist of
a necklace and a pair of ear-drops, are the
most valuable gifts which any Egyptian has
made as a mark of personal regard since
Cleopatra dissolved her pearl in vinegar and
drank it as a "health" to Mark Antony.
The present was received at the customhouse last week, where it had to be detained
until Congress could pass an act authorizing
it to be delivered free of duty. The experts
of the custom-house appraisers' department
estimated its wholesale value in gold at
$280,000, and nt this valuation the duty
upon it would be $70,000, or very nearly
$80,000 in currency. But Mr. Tiffany, who

There is a state of morals on the
Sandwich Islands which needs a thorough
discussion in the public newspapers; but it is
|our opinion that this discussion should be
differently carried forward in the foreign
newspapers from what it should be in those
papers published in the Hawaiian language.
The two classes of readers essentially differ
in their modes of thought and methods of
illustration. We would not be understood
as asserting, that the principles of morality
and virtue differ when applied to the two
races. "We are all of one blood," and
accountable to the same God. Morally one
class may be no better than the other, but
Hawaiians do speak of things in common language which are essentially ignored by AngloSaxons. Now, let this discussion be carried
forward according to the mental training of
each class. In former times we think many
articles have been published in foreign newspapers which ought never to have appeared.
In consequence of their publication, an entirely erroneous impression has gone abroad,
respecting both the foreign and native community. We hear rumors of a re-opening
of the discussion of certain subjects, hence,
we sincerely hope it may be confined to the
native papers. In justification of our position, we would remark that native preachers
and missionaries may and do employ (and
very properly) illustrations which would not
be tolerated in the sermons of preachers in
In the recently published volume of the
Rev. W. M. Taylor, of the Tabernacle
Church, N. V., upon the life and character
of " David, King of Israel," we find an interesting and touching allusion to David's kindness to his parents; and we quote the following, inasmuch as it may convey a useful
hint to some young man, away from home :
Behold in David's tender provision for his
parents an example of the care which we
ought to have tor father and mother. There
are few things more delightful than to see a
son or daughter lovingly supporting an aged
parent; and, on the other hand, there is
nothing more worthy of our scorn and reprobation than the conduct of those who leave
their parents to the cold charity of an unfeeling world.
Nor is it only in the matter of support

Pilgrims' Progress in Chinese.
Some days since, standing with a group of
Chinamen, before a large engraving, representing Bunyan's Pilgrim, on his journey
from the "City of Destruction" to the
"Celestial City," and thinking they might
possibly be made to understand the meaning
or design of the picture if it should be explained in the Hawaiian language, we requested a person versed in that language to
act the part of interpreter." To the surprise of all, one"of our Chinese friends, remarked : " I have read the book in the
Chinese language;" adding, "you see, when
the Pilgrim, with the burden on his back,
approached the ;ross, the burden fell off and
rolled into the sepulchre." While all present
were somewhat surprised at this intelligent
and discriminating remark, another of our
Chinese friends present, added—" But I have
read the book in English." This pleasant
little incident occurred at a gathering of
thirty or more Chinamen, who were present
at the marriage of one of their countrymen,
who has thoroughly renounced the doctrines
of Confucius and become a follower of Him
who was present with His mother at the marriage, in Cana of Uallilee.
Perhaps some of our readers will now
learn for the first time that Bunyan's Pilgrim
has acquired the language of the "Middle
Kingdom," on his pathway to the " Celestial
City." We hope this incident may encourage those who are teaching in the Chinese
Sabbath School, and in other ways, are endeavoring to impart a Christian education to
the Chinamen with whom they are acquainted. We would merely add that the
one referred to as having read Pilgrims'
Progress in Chinese," is a member of Fort
Street Church, and the other of the Bethel.
" Cast thy bread upon the waters and thou
shalt find it after many days."
"
Correspondence, in reference to a Chinese colporteur, is still in favorable progress,
and it is confidently hoped in our next issue
we shall be nble to report that all the necessary arrangements are completed.
Compulsory

School.—President Elitt, of Harvard, says
of compulsory physical exercises in schools :
They should form a part of the programme
of every school for boys, and should be insisted upon just as regularly as Latin and
mathematics from the time a boy is ten
years old until he is sixteen or seventeen.
Most American schools entirely neglect this
very important part of their proper function.
Many young men, therefore, come to the
university with undeveloped muscles, a bad
carriage and an impaired digestion, without
skill in out-of-door games, and unable to
He, row, swim, or shoot. It is important
that the university should give opportunity
for a variety of physical exercises ; because
this student prefers one form and that
another, and an exercise which is enjoyed
will be ten times as useful as one which ia
repulsive.—N. Y. Observer.
