Prison of " 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 the Oracles of God and the sweet story " " " " " " 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 : Her Royal "An Infant Princess.

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 90 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 of other FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1s 7 ii. effusions of the mind of man in past ages of this appear, apart from literary curiosity, as credulity. an illustration of the teaching of love, —to But what consolation for humanity, in a one who in earnestness and candor of soul state of •in and sorrow, is there in any of has read the story of the compassionate these productions of human imagination ?

And yet it is this child spirit, following a Lamb, which a Yudishthira needed to elevate his soul to a conception of Divine Love, which nn Arnold needs, when he contrasts the rude passions of Hindoo imagination with the love of Jesus who gave up His life on the cross for the sake of His persecuting fellow men; and which an evolutionist needs, when he would offer, through art and science, a consolation to poor, sinning and sorrowing fellow men, instead of the scheme of Divine Love, that gave an only Begotten Son for circumstance which, if not a proof of his theory, is a wonderful coincidence: At Copan, in Central America, n two-horned figure has been found which is now unknown here, but which resembles closely the Chinese symbol ofFokee; and Chinese history records that Fokee was a great "stranger" king, who came from over the sea and introduced picture-writing among the Chinese. Mr. Brooks' theory is certainly a plausible one. That portion of the human race which inhabits the so-called old World did certainly descend from the plateaus of Asia ; but who knows but that the ultimate ancestors of the Asiatics came across the sea from the real old world, America? And who knows but the redemption of the world. that, if we continue the investigation far As works of an ancient literature, the enough, we shall find that Adam was a great Hindoo poems are, of course, highly Digger Indian, and that the Garden of Eden interesting; and when published in our was located somewhere in the Salt Lake tongue, as proposed by Trubner & Co., will Valley.

The 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. to • Home Again.—We clip the following from the Greenville (Michigan) Independent of Sept. 16th: Church and family are expected lo a visit.

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.

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 exploring expedition—that of taking soundings. It was a matter of much regret when this vessel and her consort were turned aside from their most useful employment of looking for sunken rocks, low islands, and other erected. obstructions to safe navigation in the Pacific. From his name, we should suppose that The U. S. Government is not doing its duty Glass was a Scotchman. At all events, he in this respect in the Pacific Ocean*.

DKdMIBER, 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. of The ship arrived at the island on the 16th October, found the two unfortunate exiles, took them on board, and carrying them off, terminated their wretched Robinson Crusoelike existence." O" We clip the following from the April number of the Victorian Independent, published in Melbourne : " The Hon. Sain'l. Hastings, who has come to us from the United States on a tem- 99 Salute Extraordinary.— We 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 Royal 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."

DECEMBER 8. ISTA. New Books Relating to Polynesia. ( I MH X R . 1815. 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 of the island as well as taking daily sounding outside the reef. They found a depth of over 1000 fathoms of water about 500 yards distant from our reef yesterday, and to-day they expect to find some objects of interest 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 the German House ef J. C. Godeflroy & Son, doing business at the Samoa Islands and in Micronesia, are publishing a series of illustrated works on natural history, relating to J. H. dc Ricci, F. R. G. S., the British Attorney General for Fiji, has just published a book on Fiji, our new province in the South Seas. Another Polynesia novelty is Old and New Zealand," by an old Pakeha "Maori. 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. Society Islands. Papeete, Tahiti, Sept. 29, 1875. have mv attention again diverted from 1 routine by the arrival of the ordinary my 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, Polynesia. Mr. Garrett, the American Natu- but the whole party has met with a good reralist, so well known throughout Polynesia, ception, and all are agreed that an extension and who gathered all sorts of strange fish' 'of time in port will be advantageous. 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. James L. Green. �THE FRIEND, MARINE JOURNAL. I Ship Emerald which was burned partial- ly some weeks ago, and has been lying dismantled in our harbor, was sold on the first of December for 17,500.

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. to that UOLD THE FORT.

Ralston long had a great run of luck, but he lived to find the general law assert itself in his case. Festina Lente. Hymn FOR WHICH A PRIZE OF : $100 WAS AWARDED BY THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE EDITOR OF THE RIAN." " ROCKY MOUNTAIN PRESBYTF.- The story of this hymn is interesting. About seven hundred hymns and poems were submitted to the Committee, and they were to select the hymn best adopted to the Home Missionary work, and to give the writer of it $100. To the writer of the best poem for the same purpose, they were to give $50. 4 'They failed to select a poem, but unanimously agreed upon the hymn below as the best, on the whole, for the object proposed. But the writer of it required, as a condition of accepting the award, that her name should not be given to the public, but thatthe hymn, if published, should be announced as by a lady of Virginin." The hymn has been accepted, and we have great pleasure in givit to our readers :— If. Y. Observer. " • Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven, " By thy grace we will." Make Haste Slowly. 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- HOME MISSIONARY HYMN.
