The publisher tenders his special acknowledgments to those who have continued their subscriptions during the entire period of the publication of the paper, as well to all who have more recently commenced their subscriptions. As years pass and the whaleships have diminished, an important source of aid has been withdrawn, hence we hope the readers and subscribers of our little sheet will promptly pay when their bills are presented, and if any are disposed to "donate " a few dollars for gratuitous circulation of the papers, their favors will be appreciated by the publisher. It has been a rule from which we have not deviated for nearly fortyyears, to furnish all ships, seamen and strangers gratuitously, trusting that in some way our paper would be supported. List of U.

We have seen how for ages it has been at war with man, who seems to have gained an almost superhuman strength and courage through his long contest with the ever-threatening sea. He has never yielded. If the waves threatened to engulph him, he has remained faithful to the last. From father to son has this warfare with the sea been passed onward as an unending heritage. 1 can conceive of scarcely a more sublime study for the genius of a painter than this. Michael Angelo alone might have represented it. The solitary figure of a man of heroic stature, alone in an endless storm, facing a wild sea of tawny foam. The green, fierce, hissing waters at times break upon his breast, rising like a cliff amid the waves; they wash, in theirrestless march, the sands from beneath his feet, but he clings to the rocks till the foothold is regained. It is a struggle for life ! The suns and rains of ages have beat upon that earnest, glorious face. The muscles have giown strong and rig.d as iron. The winds lift the yellow, flaxen hair, which gleams like a sunbeam against tbe blackening skies; the grert blue eyes gaze undaunted over the tempest of the waves, and grow more brave, more earnest, more beautiful as the conflict grows more terrible. One may indeed feel it to be a privilege to breathe the air, which has been the life and inspiration of the giants of these northern shores, whose marvelous and untireing struggles with the sea is one of the wonders ot history. DIE DEUTSCHE SEE-RETTUNGS GESELLSCHAFT, or Society for the Preservation of Life in case of shipwreck, is one of the most interesting and important of German organizations. Some hundred years ago, at the time when the first Eddystone Light House on the British Coast was in process of erection, there chanced to be war between England and France. A boat load of English workmen, engaged upon the structure of the light house, were tat. en prisoners by a French cruiser. They were however immediately sent back to their work by the French Monarch with much ceremony, and with the word that the war he was waging, was with the King of England, and not with mankind. As one catches here ana there the gleam of the faithful lights from the many noble towers which now skirt the shores of these northern waters, and as one "reads the records of the heroic efforts constantly made with the life-boats to bring rescue to those struggling for life amid the waves, no matter of what nationality, one realizes that there is a brotherhood of sympathy which can rise superior to all the distinctions of blood and race, and national jealousy. The German Ocean is one of the stormiest in the world, and thousands of noble vessels have gone down beneath these angry waters. In 1860 arose an organization in Germany to provide, so far as possible, means of rescue in case of shipwreck. The funds are mainly obtained from private sources oil over the empire. All along the coast there are stations with men and life boats, and the ar- �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, rangements are as perfect as possible under the circumstances. Over and over again, during the brief history of the Society, have those who have in any Why contributed to its support, had reason to rejoice at the good work it has done. May this still go forward a source of hope and consolation to all those who are called to face the wintry storms of this most tempestuous sea ! EAST FRISIA AND ITS PEOPLE. A people born for freedom are the Frisians, and to this hardy, great-hearted people of this bleak northern coast, is the world to-day indebted for the preservation of the noblest of human rights, liberty of thought and action. Their grand watch-word rings like a clarion-blast down the centuries : The Frisian shall be free so long as the "wind blows out of the clouds and the world stands !" To which one seems to hear from their descendants, whether here by the restless surge of the North Sea, or in the neighboring British Isles, or in the distant Continent of America, from Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate, the response of a fervent East Frisia is a portion of that •' Amen !" vast plain which extends from the extremity of Jutland to the mouth of the Scheldt. It is a little corner of the earth to-day, exerting but little influence and interesting but few; but for those few it has a remarkable fascination and attraction. The population to-day numbers something like 200,000, living in five or six considerable towns and numerous villages, or scattered in little settlements along the coast. To a remarkable degree have the East Frisians preserved their old and simple life. The dreariness of much of the land, its isolated situation, its not very especial political importance, have all had an influence in keeping the race free from " modernizing" influences, and this renders a study of the people exceedingly interesting. Their long struggle of centuries with the ocean, their indomitable energy in over-coming the difficulties of their situation, the stillness and quiet of their lives far away from the noise and din of the great world, has left its traces on heart as well as body. They are still an earnest, noble, simple folk, true and brave and loyal to their Heavenly and Earthly Heads, and in this pure loyality, still free as the wind blowing out of the clouds. THE ISLAND OF NORDENEY has come of late years to be the favorite seaside resort ot Germany. As I mentioned above it is one of the chain of the East Frisian Islands, bordering the main land. It is at low tide, in fact joined to the coast by a long sandy tract called the " Watt," hidden by the waves at flood. For the accommodation and amusement of the thousands of summer visitors—hundreds of buildings have Sprung up on the sands where once stood the little humble fishing village, and to-day it presents a charming picture as you approach it from the sea, or wander through its quaint winding streets. There are spacio-s hotels and pleasure grounds, groves and gardens. The fisher-folk vie with each other in making their cottages pleasant and inviting, and they are of immaculate cleanliness. Like a bit of fairy-land seems this little summery garden, with its flowers and trees, and gaily colored flags, in comparison with the dreary reaches of the " dunes." 1879. 95 Everything is done, in the power of the knitting, nnd young Germany with books management, to interest and amuse the from the " library," can enjoy the sands and numerous guests.

This is a most important State Document, while much credit is due the two governments becoming parties to this Treaty, yet it is undoubtedly the result of no little jealousy then existing between them. The events of 1843, as they occurred in Hawaiian History, are among the most vivid impressions on the tablets of our memory. Distinctly and vividly we can recall the actors of those days as mentioned in the letter of Mr. M. No day can we recall with more distinctness than the 25thof Feb. 1843, when Kamehameha 111. made a cession of these islands to the Queen of England, but under a solemn protest. It was on that day that we came near being " under fire." We locked our dwelling house and left for shelter on board the U. S. S. Boston. The guns of the Carysford were loaded, and we expected the town would have been fired upon. On our way to the harbor, the announcement was made that the islands were ceded to England. Then itfcvas that His Majesty made the celebrated Proclamation which contained the famous clause, which has become the National Motto, and is now chiseled in stone on the Government House.

Our acquaintance with this strange African Kingdom, about which the papers have had so much to say, commenced more than forty years ago, when American Missionaries were first sent to that part of Africa. Two well educated and accomplished ladies, from our native place, Holden, Mass., went thither as Missionaries. From one of them, Mrs. Grout, sister of E. Bailey. Esq., on Maui, we have just received a letter, from which we quote as follows : " Springfield, Mass., Sept. 23d.—Ceta- wayo has been caught. We are not sorry to have the English govern the Zulus, rather than that wicked King. A part of our missionary life was spent in fte Zulu country when Umpandi, the father of Cetawayo, was King; and we remember this son as a boy, perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old. We believe that now the Gospel will have free course there." It was our privilege to have been personally acquainted with the Rev. Messrs. Grout and Champion, and their wives, who formed the first mission sent out by the American Board to the Zulus. In those days it was a far different journey, by ses and land, to the Zulu country, from what it is at present. A Long Felt Want to be Supplied. IN COURSE OF FRRPARATIOV appear, NOW urn.

Of the enjoying the fruits of Hawaiian Indepen- chief actors in those exciting scenes, (with dence, are fully aware of the efforts which the exception of Lord Paulet, who may be were put forth by the friends of this nation living) I believe I am the only survivor— Queen, Premier, Judd, Richards, to secure its independence.

Armstrong who was his guest in Tepic, and who then, presides over with so much ability. A few from the facts which I narrnted first, became interested in the Hawaiian Nation, to whose paragraphs in Mr. Marshall's letter refer to welfare and service he afterwards devoted those days when it was somewhat doubtful his life—all are gone. Mr. Charles Brewer, whether Hawaii would have an honored the liberal and noble hearted American future.

At first we planned in the cabin of the U. S. S.

It affords me the greatest pleasure to record that they are all deeply and unaffectedly religious, and their devoted loyalty to our Most Gracious Queen knows no bounds, this was testified to in a manner equally impressing as pleasing by their behavior at the landing and subsequent opening of an American organ, which we had conveyed to them as a present from the Queen. The greatest part of the population came down to witness its arrival and watched with the most intense anxiety its passage through the surf, and immediately the boat was through, willing hands hauled her quickly up high and dry, and soon the organ was being borne in triumph up the hill to the church. I ought here to remark that this building is kept both clean and neat. As soon as possible the outer case was torn off, and the first air played in Pitcairn on Her Majesty's gift was "God save the Queen,"'all the inhabitants joining in the hymn with a fervor and enthusiasm that left no doubt as to their earnestness; they tried hard to condense their thanks to theQueen into writing, but 1 fancy nothing could show their gratitude more than the hearty way in which they sang our National hymn. To sum up the character of these people, it may be said of them that they are fairly industrious and well educated; that apparently they live in a state of the most perfect harmony, the whole population (93) appearing as one large happy family, all working for the common good; that they are all imbued wilh a deeply religious feeling. It is very confusing to discover who you are talking loon the Island, as there are only five family names amongst all the people, consequently to avoid the confusion caused by there being about seven Mr. Youngs and five or six Mr. Christians, they are assuming surnames, thus one of the Christians has taken unto himself the name of Downes, and is bringing up a family under that cognomen, and one of the Youngs calls himself Selwyn; if this style of things continues it will be difficult, in n few generations, to trace the people's connection with the original Bounty mutineers. With regard to the A*Afric:n>, Peter Butler, who is spoken of in .Winirnl dc Horsey's report as a "doubtful acquisition," the Islanders gave a very good account of him, stating that he always behaved ns one of them, and the two oldost men on the Island told me they had no fault to find with him, however, some little time ago he left the place in a schooner trading to Samoa, in company with two of the Pitcairners, they have since returned, but at the tune of our visit he was still away. His wife believes that he will return, but the rest of the paople appear to think otherwise. I may also add that one of the people asked me if Father Damon of Honolulu was yet alive, with this I will conclude my des- cription of Pitcairn. Charles H. A. Ward, 11. M.

We would merely add, tbat Professor Alexander is a good illustration of the remark, that, one brings away from a land through which he travels, in proportion to what he takes with him! Dean Stanley writes most intelligently upon Palestine, but he says, " I read every page and even the foot-notes of Robinson's three octavo volumes on Palestine," besides many other books of history and travels. " The breaking waves dashed high On a stern and rockbound coast. And the woods agaluHt a stormy sky Their giant branches tossed." The sermon by Rev. Dr. Damon was somewhat out of the beaten track of the ordinary thanksgiving discourse. Taking his text from Luke 6:3B—"Give, and it shall be given unto you," tbe speaker proceeded to give ao exceedingly able and interesting dissertation on Reciprocity, as exemplified in tbe present times throughout tbe world. First, in Commerce; second, in Science; third, in Literature; and fourth, in Christianity. It will readily be seen, that the materials in any one of these subdivisions are ample for a discourse in itself, and consequently only a brief but comprehensive review of eacb was made. Towards tbe close, the Reverend apeaker alluded somewhat fully to the " Chinese question," which bas attracted of late so much attention in the East and California. While it is a question in some minds whether tbe Chinese invasion, with which these Islands are now threatened, is a legitimate cause for thanksgiving, or constitutes a fitting subject for fasting and prayer,—we all know the rosy hue it assumes in tbe eyes of a few among us, prominent among wbom is tbe always enthusiastic and genial preacher of our Thanksgiving sermon. Aside from tbe more than oontented reference to tbe prospective influx of Chinese, tbe discourse was an excellent one, which we should like to see printed. At tbe conclusion of tbe sermon, the grand anthem, so familiar to every patriotic American— What is to be Done with Oar New Immigrants? Some days ago a good Christian brother and friend of humanity came to the Editor of the Friend, with the following communication. He expressed the wish that the Friend would call the attention of the Christian community to the subject of doing something for the evangelization of the Chinese. This is just what " the Friend proper" and"the Friend, Y. M. C. A.," have been endeavoring to do for years. In addition to what is now being done, this would seem to be demanded, to obtain as soon as possible a missionary to labor among the Chinese and direct colpqrtage, who understands the Chinese language. The Christian and Chinese communities need to be brought into greater sympathy and to understand each other better, by a free interchange of thought and opinion. For the Friend. What is to be done with our new immi" grants? This is the great question of the day, both religiously and politically. That they are to form the great bulk of our future population there can be no doubt. What they have been at the homes they have left and what they may be in their adopted homes here, will depend on circumstances. Having been brought up in their own country under the parental restraints taught by Confucius, they have continued to be from age to age a moral people, but with a few exceptions they are a heathen people. They have no respect for the Sabbath and no knowledge of Christianity. " Now comes the question, what is to be the effect of such a large influx of heathenism on these islands, where Christianity has been so recently established ? Which way is the tide of influence to turn? If Christians here can bring the power ofreligion to bear upon them so ns to influence them in the right direction, all will be well. If not, what is to. become of our Sabbath and our H. D. religious institutions ? Remains of Gigantic Animals Discovered in Ice.—Russian geologists are making preparations to promote the further discovery* of congealed remains of mammoth animals in Siberia. It is stated that during the last two centuries at least 20,000 mammoths, and probably twice or thrice that number have been washed out of the ice and soil in which they were imbedded, by the action of spring floods. The tusks have only been preserved for the;r commercial value as ivory.

May not this principle be deemed a suitable theme for a Thanksgiving discourse on an occa- ' sion when the pleasant memories of an American Thanksgiving blend and mingle with reminiscences of Hawaiian Independence. We meet as Auiericuns, yet on Hawaiian soil, and under the protection of a government invigorated, strengthened and fostered by the underlying and overshadowing influences of the Urcut Republic.

This writer then proceeds to show how the great Fenelon illustrated this idea in his "Telemacbus," while Mr. Wells, the American political economist, does the same in relerence to Adnua Smith, the author of The Wealth of Nations." The U. S. Government, in negotiating this treaty with the Hawaiian Islands, has manifested a generosity and nobleness which is not to be without its happy influences upon other nations. Other treaties of reciprocity will follow. Among the recent items of intelligence from Japan, I The have read the following newspaper report new treaty between the United States and Japan was signed July 251h, and is kept secret. This treaty is understood to confer reciprocal commercial advantages, from which all other nations are excluded, except on condition of accepting the mutual obligations." It is well known tbat England and Germany are now pressing the Japanese Government upon points really involving the independence of the Empire, while the United States Government is upholding that Empire, as it did Hawaiian independence when European nations would have blotted it out of " :" existence. I cannot refrain from here refering to the most signal manner in which Hawaiian national independence was preserved and secured. Most nobly did Richards, Judd, Ricord, Lee, Allen, and specially R. U. Wyllie, stand up (or Hawaiian independence. The long and successful ministerial career of Mr. Wyllio is quite noteworthy. The stern Scotchman would not flinch or give way one iota when the King's prerogative was in- fringed upon. He never would have allowed His Majesty to have signed such a treaty as has just been negotiated between the Samoan Islands und England. It is well for us that we have no Consular Courts. In ihe recent treaty negotiated by our Minister, the Hon. Mr. Carter, between the German Empire and tile Hawaiian Kingdom, there are no clauses compromising or humiliating the King's sovereignty. Treaties of amity and reciprocity, when bused upon sound principles, tend to strengthen and establish a nation's independence. The leading principle for which Mr. Wyllie so resolutely and astutely contended during nearly a quarter of a century, was this: The Huwaiian Kingdom, though small, should be treated as an independent nation, and its King as an independent sovereign. Happily he lived to see this principle established and acknowledged by America and European nations ; hence, when His Majesty negotiated the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States Government, other nations bad nothing to say so long as treaties with those countries were not infringed. The 28th ol November, 1813, may be observed as tbe date ol Hawaiian independence, but it was many a long year belore the Island-Kingdom was treated as fully independent. On that day, however, it was that England and France did " engage reciprocally to consider the Sandwich Islands an independent State." Science. —Internationalreciprocity in mat- t. relating to science is a most interesting subject of oonteniplati jii. II in some astronomical observatory in Europe tho discovery of a new planet is made, the fact is immediately telegraphed to all the oilier observatories of the globe. When any important discovery is made in the science of chemistry, or geology, botany, or mineralogy, the whole scientific world is made acquainted with the facts, and soon the reading public enjoy the publicity. How rapidly the marvelous discoveries of Edison have been published throughout the world. Advances in every department of science are published and republished until they become familiar to the friends of science in nil lands. It is a most interesting fact that in times of war among nations, the stern and bloody rules of belligerents sometimes yield to the mandates of science. When Nupoleon was at the height of his power and all Englishmen were prohibited from travelling on the continent of Europe at the peril of urrcst and imprisonment, an exception was made in fuvor of one man—a man of science —Sir Humphrey Davy, the chemist and discoverer ol the miner's safety lamp. Perhaps the following example is still more n.tcworthy During the Revolutionary war, when the Americans were battling for their independence, Dr. Franklin, the American Plenipotentiary Ambassador at the Court of Fiance, forbade American privateers molesting any of the squudron of ships under Cuptuiu Cook's command in hie scientific voyage around tho globe. Fiance and Spain are reported lo have imposed a similar interdict upon their cruisers. Iv acknowledgment of Franklin's magnanimity, the British Admiralty, in tbe name of the King, presented Dr. Franklin with o copy of Cook's Voyages and a gold medal. One more most striking illustration of this point: Some hundred years ago, when France and Englund were ut war, and while tbe first Eddystone lighthouse was in process of erection, a boat's crew of English workmen were taken prisoners. They were immediately sent back by the French monarch, with the laconic message that ho was waging war with the King of England, not with : mankind. It was no ordinary compliment which Agassis paid to the scientific and liberal views of America when he left the Old World and east io his lot among the inhabitants of the New World. Huving been sent to America by tbe Prussian Government to execute a scientific commission, he met with such kindness nnd liberality, especially among the promoters of the coast survey, that afterwards no templing offers from any European court, university or scientific society could tempt him to return and relinquish his borne in America. He wm " enabled to push his ■scientific researches on all shores from Maine to Texas, as well as along the Pacific. It bore him up the Amazon and around Cape Horn." For years he employed Mr. Garrett to collect specimens of natural history in our island waters, and was better acquainted with the fish in our ocean than any other living scientist. The history of efforts to explore the cold regions surrounding the North Pole, and the recent astronomical observations relating to the transit of Venus, indicate the incalculable benefits of international reciprocity in scientific matters. But in no department may this subject be seen in a more favorable light than in that series of International Expositions, commencing with that of England in 1851, under the patronage ol the Prince Consort, and followed by the Expositions 1879. of France, Austria, and America's grand Centennial, and to be succeeded by others in' Europe, Australia and Japan. The influence and results of these exhibitions of skill in manufactures and displays of scientific research are something absolutely wonderlul. They arc revolutionising the world of art, mechanics and science. Scientific and useful knowledge is thereby spreading all over the habitable globe, even penetrating the old and conservative nations of China, Slam, India and Japan. What is more remarkable, the dark continent of Africa in receiving a portion of these rays of scientific light. From tho report of Dr. Means at the late meeting of the American Board of Missions, held last month in Syracuse, N. V., we learn that not less than a half-score of scientific societies in Europe are pushing their researches on the continent of Africa. Ono French journal remarks that •• the Alricun question preoccupies all minds," while the same journal quotes the remark of " one of tho greatest poets of the world" : " In tbe nineteenth century tbe white man has made a man out of the black ; in the twentieth century Lurope will make a world out of Africa." Adds Dr. Means " Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, all have their parties of scientific explorers penetrating the vast unknown, while commercial companies are organizing for manufacturing, for traffic, and for communication by canals, railroads, telegraph lines, steamboats and elephant trains." Africa —that stronghold of ignorance, heathenism and savagery—is now being attacked in the north, eaßt, south and west. Both scientific men and missionaries arc resolutely determined to storm this citadel of ignorance, superstition and slavery. In the grand assault many noble men may fall, but the command has been given to close up and push forward. The news conies that the noble Mullens, of the London Missionary Society, has fallen while penetrating to the interior, but other missionaries and explorers will follow in the footsteps of Livingstone, Stanley and tbeir compeers. The world is now just beginning to witness the grand results growing out of Livingstone's toils and labors. What a noble career, nnd how sublimely it terminated. Penetrating ns far as his tailing strength will allow, he kneels alone and dies—for his body was actually found in that position! His remains are rudely but carefully embalmed by his faiihlul and devoted servants, and borno more than a thousand miles on their shoulders, through jungles and morasses, over the hills and rivers of Africa, to Zanzibar, from thence to be conveyed to England, where they were finally taken to Westminster Abbey, there to receive the highest honors which could he paid to them. What a life! What a death! What u burial ! Science and Christianity may well clasp hands over the earthly remains of the noble explorer and humble missionary ! : HI. Literature. —Reciprocity in literature among different nationalities is a most delightful subject for review. Our thoughts are elevated above material interests, and we are invited to witness the action and reaction of mental aspirations in the realm of genius. A book of genius— Uncle Tom's Cabin," for example—is published, and in a very few months it is translated and published in perhapei twenty different languages, " �THE r IM ¥. \ I).

Christiamtv.—ln its nature and principles Christianity implies reciprocity among all dwelling upon the earth. The Apostle Paul dashed forth with a bold stroke when he said, " There is neither Greek nor Jew, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free but Christ is all and in all." The Gospel was to he preached among all nations. It was among the hardest efforts for the disciples of Christ to learn tbis lesson. As centuries havo rolled away, these principles have become more apparent. Our century presents the sublime spectacle of the Church universal being engaged in a noblo crusade to evangelise the heathen world. The barriers of nations have been crossed. There is no longer a moral Chinese wall. Mie- mote Kingdom." Here is international reciprocity of the best description. TIIE CHINESE 103 1879. QUESTION In the onward march of these principles and spread of Gospel ideas, I am not ignorant of the national conflicts which arise and of the race animosities engendered. This conflict of race prejudices is before our eyes. A discussion of the subject is sharply presented in the newspapers ol America and those of our Islands. Every mail brings news relating to the conflict among political leaders, and even Christian editors, upon this subject. The gravity of the discussion I would not overlook or the mighty issue-) ignore. Not a few, even among good Christian citizens, follow in the wake of a demagogue who has uttered the party cry and watchword, " The Chinese must go." This is ndt a new cry. It was not heard for the first time on the sand hills ofSun Francisco. Less than forty yearsago it was heard on the opposite shores of the Pacific, in China, •' Englishmen must go those foreign devils." Kearney's shriek is but a faint and feeble echo of the" Heathen Chinee." May it not be useful to enquire bow the issue was there met? Did the Englishman go? Why not 7 Was his presence any less offensive to the people of China than that of the Chinese to the people of America? The opium war followed, and in August, 1842, peace was restored ; but China was compelled lo pay $21,000,000—including $12,000,000 ns war expenses, $3,000,000 to injured English merchants, and $6,000,000 lor opium destroyed. Hongkong becomes an English colony. America looks on approvingly, nnd illustrating, perhaps, the old fable of" pulling the chestnuts out of the fire." Ucr states- — men—Webster,.!. Q.

" and must repudiate the doctrine now so speciously advocated by some, that every nation had the right to protect itself by exoluding immigrants seeking a domicile in a quiet and peaceful manner. The question arises, Shall the policy of tho statesmen and diplomatists of England and America be now repudiated. Imagine not that the end has come. Dragon's teeth which war has sown in China may produce a harvest of armed men. An educated and intelligent Chinese geutlemun, residing in London, writing for that leading English periodical, Fraser's Magazine, only two years ago, thus expresses his views " Depend upon it, as soon as China thinks herself in a position to carry out her wishes, she will at once repudiate the clause legalizing the traffic in opium ; nnd if England asks why she does so, she will answer that the mural sensivof her whole nation requires it, and that justice, humanity and righteousness demand it. If England should then declare another wnr against her in support of the wicked cause, sho will refer the matter to the impartial judgment of the world—tbe United States und the great Powers ol Europe—rather than subnrt to tho stipulations of a treaty, the terms of which were dictated and almost extorted after a most disastrous wnr, and the effect of which has been the ruin of her subjects." Is this subject at rest. Is it forgotten ? Only a few weeks ago, nt the meeting of the International Evangelical Alliance held in Basic, Switzerland, where were assembled the leading laymen and divines of Europe and America, the world-wide and renowned Professor Christlieb, ot Binn, Germany, brought forward tho opium question, und the following resolution was adopted unanimously, the whole assembly rising to make more emphatic their condemnation of this immoral traffic: "The assembly holds that the interest of Christianity itself urgently demands that there should be a change in the policy hitherto pursued by the English Government in : regard to the opium trnde, and commissions its officers to lay this resolution before the Secretary of State for India." A Scottish missionary. Rev. Mr. Shoolbred, returning from India, thus addresses an assembly of his countiymen. In speaking of the efforts of the English in hehull of those suffering from the famine, he remarks " I am sorry to say that by their opium traffic they are counteracting their own measures and doing much to intensity the terrible famine evils which they desire to avert. It is high time, I think, that the enlightened : public opinion of Christian Britain should rise up and demand tbe suppression of tbis infamous traffic; and I deem no apology necessary for bringing the subject before this large and influential assembly ofthe Christian people of Scotland." I have discussed this subject because in its ultimate bearing and decision our Island Kingdom is most intimately concerned. There must �104 IHE FRIEND.

It was upon this latter principle that, I believe, was negotiated what is known in the history of diplomacy as tbe Burlingumc Treaty between the United States and China. That treaty for a season met with much opposition in China, England, France and Germany; but few diplomatists ever so effectually succeeded in disarming all opposition as did Mr. Burlingmne. Listen to the brief address of Ixnd Stanley, when presenting Mr. Borlingame and the members of the Chinese Embassy to Queen Victoria, at a lunch given nt It is true a certain degree of Windsor Cusllc in the real object of the originating opposition, Chinese mission, coupled with a desire to adhere to old traditional British coercion policy, met Mr. Burlingnme n his nrrivul in England, but this has nil passed away. Mr. Burlingume, by his dignified course, and feeling the grnndcur and importance of the high trust confided to his care, has conducted himself in such a manner as to completely disarm opposition and create a favorable impression, not only for China, but for the United States ; for, while acting as the representative of China, his dignified bearing and progressive ideas have exhibited hiin as a true type of the representative American." I am not aware that any American ever received a higher compliment from a British statesman at the Cuurt of St. James. I do not forget Mr. Burlingamo's visit to Honolulu, and the convincing manner in which I heard him unfold, in clear nnd lucid style, the great object of his visit to America and Europe. He was u bom diplomat ol the noblest :" < type. 1 would now ask, Is England, is China, is America to recede from the fundamental principles of that treaty ? No. Articles of that treaty may be modified, hut the full gist and substance of that treaty will remain. It forms an important epoch in treaty ncgotinions between Ihe Occident and the Orient. In its essential features it was a treaty of reciprocity, based on the principle of my text, " (iivc, and it shall be given unto you." The principle of the Golden Rule was also recognized. It forms the basis of all good statesmanship tbe world over. The leaven is gradually permeating other Oriental nations. President Grunt's visit to Japan and elsewhere is not to prove barren of important re. suits. While he was sojourning in China and Japan, matters of grave importance were under discussion. Perhaps this somewhat lengthy discussion or international reciprocity would more appropriately follow iban precede a Thanksgiving dinner. There is an impression that the descendants of the Puritans have somewhat degenerated and are not what tbeir fathers were. This is doubtless truo when tested by our ability to listen before dinner patiently and submissively to the long two-hours sermons or the clergy. But bear with me a moment longer, and I will close. Has not honorable reciprocity always been one of the traditions of the American people? Because England would not grant to the colonists representation in Parliament when taxes were imposed, 18. ». they declared war and asserted their independence. During tbe past century the same idea has been carried out, until (iermany finally yicldod the point in regard to the rights of citizenship, when England ulso submitted. Shall America now go back on her principles in negotiating with China? It hardly seeius possible. President Hayes, by his timely and prompt veto of hasty and ill-digested measures in Congress, relating to the ISurlingamo Treaty, saved the United Stales Irom the disgrace of becoming a Treatyviolating Power auiong the Nations, 110 merits thereby tho thanks of all the friends of America, ut home and abroad.

Among the objects of the late Fair for the benefit of the Bethel, started by the ladies of the choir and so generously patronised by the community, was the purchase of a new collection of Hymns and Music for public worship. After examining various collections, the committee finally decided upon the one having the following title-page : Bethel Repaired and Re-painted. HYMNS It moy be said of the Bethel in Honolulu, the same as was said of the Temple at Jerus ilein, " Forty aod six years was this temple in building." The Bethel was dedicated as a house for public worship in November, 1833—forty-six years ago. During nearly one-half a century it has been opened nearly ■every Sabbath for public worship, seats free; hence, for all necessary repairs and other expenses appeals have been made to the public, and uniformly a generous response has been made. It has long been apparent that some repairs were needed. The recent expenditures amount to a little over 51,200, SONGS OF PRAISE and to meet these bills about $1,000 has already been raised, including the avails of the Fair in May.

There are very many reasons apparent for regarding this collection as most admirably suited for the purposes of worship in the sanctuary. Aside from its uses as an aid to public worship, we commend the book as a beautiful collection of sacred hymns for private reading. A good hymn-book is a full storehouse of lyric poetry, in which the English language is now so remarkably choice and rich.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 34 WALKS ABOUT BERLIN. A recent French writer has said of Berlin: is a city which presents an appearance "ofItstrength and grandeur; has broad streets; long lines of houses, impressing one more by their size than by their beauty; in no way adapted to please one. Moreover, no effort is ever made to interest one. Here there is but one object, to instruct and to command. Here they know only two elements of civilization, the army and the university, science and war, the discipline of the school and the discipline of the regiment. If Munich and Dresden are the Museums of Germany, then is Berlin the Arsenal!" This 1s a Frenchman's description of the Prussian Capital, and one against which much might be said. And yet there is some truth, I am forced to confess, in it; though with every advancing year of the Empire this will be less the case. 1 am made aware of the lack of the poetic and picturesque elements in the city when I take my daily walk. The city is in memories, too, military. There are few of those delightful nooks which one finds in many other cities, where one may enter into the eloquent silence of the past; few shrines before which one may bend, forgetful of all else, while " far off the noises of the world retreat." We have no Westminster Abbey, with its " Poet's Corner;" no Pere Lachaise, that silent city of the silent dead; there are not here the thousand enticing rambles of Old Kome on the Tiber, or Florence on the silver Arno. Still there are some points which one seeks, with willing feet, in the city and suburbs, connected with the names and memories of men who, through especial beauty of life, or through exceptional genius, which they have known wisely to use, have now a distinguished place in the history of their race. I can scarcely think now of speaking of more than one or two of these, leaving the others, perhaps, for other rambling day*, and appreciative moods. Potsdam is. as you know, a little world of Historical and Biographical interest. The house where Lessing lived—one of the most cherished names in German literature—still stands in Berlin, where he wrote his ever American Misister Resident, on " Ohio Men in the Sasdwich Inlands." Something similar and verr readable might be written about " New York Men," « Massachusetts beautiful "Minna yon Barflhelni." UnforMen," " Connecticut Men" at the Sandwich in this volume. We commend the book both tunately, the house which Heinrich Heyne for public worship and private rending. occupied in the Taubtnstms«e, is no longer (stands. �TIIK FRIEND, NOVEMBER. 86 But the house of Hegel, the Philosopher, may be visited. Chamisso. that sweet poet and noble nature, lived with his wife (whom he so tenderly loved, and whom he found waiting for him, a girlbride, on his return from his long journey around the world) near the Botanical Garden, of which he had charge in one of the suburbs of the city—and I might still further lengthen the list. Let me, however, for this time, ask you to visit, with me, to be seen. MENDELSSOHN." One ot the sacred spots of Berlin is the quiet, shadowy cemetery where Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is buried. For those "THE GRAVE OF who have, in any slight degree, a taste for music, it would have a certain interest; but for those who have felt and feel, not alone in the stimulating atmosphere of the concert hall, but also in the quiet of their home-lite, in that inner world of personal heart-experience, the ennobling, elevating, purifying influence of this great master in the realm of music, it becomes, indeed, holy ground. Thisquaint, old-fashioned Trinity Cemetery, JJreifaitigkeifs Kirchhof, lies now almost in the midst of the great working, restless city. Only a few yeara ago it lay in the out-skirts of the capital, but since the coming in of the empire the city has marched with giant strides in all directions, so that points, which were once even in the memory of those who are still children, like distant out-posts in the desert of the Branderbourg sands, have been brought within the limits of civilization. So that this little grave yard, this resting-place of the " blessed dead," in the midst of the noise, business and turmoil, touches one with its tender hush and beauty, like the sight of a lifted cross by the dusty way-side, or the solemn melody of chimes at noon-time, floating far out above the roar and confusion of the street below. It is near one of the old "Gates" of the city that, looking in the direction of Halle, also by its now out-grown name, reminding one of the early history of the Prussian Capital. I scarcely think you would find the grave we are seeking alone, so hidden away under the drooping trees does it lie. The kindly old keeper of the cemetery led me to it one day, and since then, I think, few have learned the way to it better than I, so that I feel as it were a sort of tender right and privilege in bringing others there. There is nothing at all pretentious in the way of a monument to distinguish it from hundreds of other graves which lie on every side. It is in one ef the shadowest parts of the inclosure. Ash trees, wilh their long, drooping, graceful branches, encircle and shield it. Ivy, of most beautiful and luxuriant growth, has thrown a verdant mantle over the rising mound, with its never changing freshness in winter and summer, a fitting type of the fame of him who was laid away here to rest, when his life-work was ended. The white marble slab which stands at the head of the grave tells us much in a few plain words; its two sculptured dates, speaking so eloquently ! Dead, before he had, as it were, reached tbe prime of his manhood; his work completed, wh%n so many are realizing, for the first time, what the meaning of life and labor is; his epitaph written in letters which 1879. are never to fade at less than forty years of age ! Surely, those whom " the gods love, die young." Chopin died with a broken heart before he was forty. Euber had only reached that age. Schubert finished his melodious mission just as he was entering the thirties. Mozart's triumphant career was ended at thirty-five. I recall with especial distinctness, one visit I made in the early summer to the grave of Mendelssohn. It was just at the passing of the day into evening. The heavy rain clouds, which had gathered and gloomed through the dny, had broken in plentiful showers of rain. The sun had appeared again, in saving adieu, and the world stood transfigured in a blaze of diamonds. The cemetery was fragrant as a garden in spring; the moist and clinging vines, the verdant festoons and draperies of ivy, the opening roses, myrtles and violets, making a bright and pleasing picture. A German cemetery has a certain indescribable charm, particularly this one. where Mendelssohn sleeps. There is a quaint, hushed gentleness and thoughtfulness in the arrangements of the flowers and wreaths; a world of poetry in the inscriptions and texts on the stones among the flowers which mark the graves; in that spirit of love; in that anticipation of meeting and re-union which lights and glorifies the oft repeated Auf wieder sehenThe air of the twilight seemed suffused with peace; musical with the melody of some words," which might have " Song without risen from the quiet grave of the great musician.—At least it was a pleasing fancy to cherish, that the spirit of the master was with us still. THE MENDELSSOHN FAMILY. A thoughtful writer and appreciative lover of Mozart has said, " To open Mozart's letters is like opening a painted tomb." These words might, with equal appropriatness, be applied to a series of sketches which have very recently appeared in Germany in book form, under the title of " Dei Mendelssohn Fatnilei." These are made up largely of the letters of the family and extracts from their journals, and together form a whole of such rare and perfect beauty, a glimpse as it were into the very heart-life of one of the most remarkable and gifted families which Germany has ever produced, that it is scarcely to be wondered at that the book is one of the most popular of the year, especially in Berlin, where the family mostly lived. I wish it might be possible for me to give you something of an idea of the rharm, the wonderful fascination of these sketches, and yet this is so subtle, so inseparable a part of every page and chapter, that in endeavoring to do anything of the kind I should be forced in the end to transcribe for you the whole work. The name Mendelssohn is especially known outside of Germany through the illustrious musician and composer, of whom we have spoken above. Hut here he is but one, although perhaps the most famous of a race »o highly gifted, so splendidly endowed, that in rising from the perusal of these eloquent pages, I feel to join most warmly in that enthusiastic exclamation recently made by one who had read the book, A good Burger Familei" —in the fullest, grandest sense of the words, A right Princely Race f * " " The opening pages of these biographies takes us far back into the first part of the preceding century —to the well-known founder of the present family, the philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn, born in 1729. And what a record has this one member of the family left behind him ! Enough to wreath the name with unfading laurels. Coming in early youth to Berlin, well-nigh pennyless, born of a race hated, and condemned to walk through life the object of Christian scorn and ridicule, an outcast Jew, painfully deformed in person, and yet rising in time to the topmost heigths of philosophical attainment, heralded as a second Moses, sent to plead for his oppressed people from the land of their bitter bondage, the revered and tenderly loved friend of the wisest, and greatest and most honored men of his century. Surely, this is a metamorphosis, such as is rarely seen ! Moses Mendelssohn will always hold a unique position in history. He was one of the first and foremost in his efforts to raise his nice, sunk for centuries in an almost, apathetic ignorance, who were wanderers indeed on the face of the earth, from whom the so-called Christian race shrank as before the murderer's mark on the brow of a banished Cain. The Jews of our time owe to him more than to any one else the liberty which they to-day possess. He was the chosen friend of the great Lessing. His home, humble and plain, became the rallying point of great souls in those fierce intellectual conflicts which agitated Germany during the last century. He was the Socrates of his age. His treatise on The " Immortality of the Soul" will ever hold a plice among the Classics of Literature. The iustre which he imparted to the family name has been in no way dimmed in succeeding generations. One son of the Philosopher became the founder of the celebrated Mendelssohn Banking House, which still enjoys a European reputation. A daughter became the wife of Freiderick yon Schlegel, and was distinguished for her literary activity. A son of hers, by a previous marriage, Philip Veit, was a well-known name among the artists of Germany. A grandson of Moses, Alexander Mendelssohn Bertholdy, was the father of a distinguished family. His son, Felix, is known as one of the most illustrious musical composers of this country to all the world. His eldest daughter, Fanny, composer and pianist, was one of the most distinguished female musicians who has ever lived. She was married to William Hensel, ihe distinguished artist and painter, truly, a noble pair ! Still another daughter, Rebecca, who had the training of a lady of the Renaissance, reading Plato and Homer with ease in the original, had for husband Professor Dirichlet, one of the first mathematicians of modern times. These are the names of the most distinguished of the family. There are others who probably amid less brilliant surroundings would have attained to a distinguished name, as we have read of no one in the wide circle of relationship who was not possessed of superior mental endowments. It can readily be understood that a work which introduces one to the inner life of such a family group is absorbingly interesting. One moves in the choicest of company, that of the great spirits of the age, in the midst of intense intellectual and artistic �111 I: hRI X \ activity. Circumstances favored the growth iind development of the family. Wealth flowed in upon them, their social position was that of the highest, feted by all the crowned heads of Europe. Surely, the times had changed since Moses, the despised Jewish boy, speaking sad mixture of Hebrew and low German, entered Berlin for the first time ! But more beautiful than all else is the spirit of tenderest, most devoted love which animated these pages. The family bond was never broken, even through difference of religious creed. Some adhered to their Jewish faith and ritual; others became earnest Protestant Christians, notably Felix, to whom we owe some of the most splendid creations in the whole range of Christian music; and one member of the family became an ardent Roman Catholic. The scene shifts in these pages from one land to another. Wo have delightful letters, descriptive, humorous, tenderly loving from England, from France, from Switzerland, from Belgium, from Italy. What an unending picture opens before us ; We have spirited sketches drawn from life of Queen Victoria, Freiderick Wilhelm IV, Prince Albert, Goethe, Humboldt, Cornelius, Imniennann and Heine, Cherubini, and Spontini, Thorwaldsen, Vernet. and a host of others. We are behind the scenes. We meet the great actors of the day, off the stage, and learn to know them as men and women. We listen with bated breath to the production of some great musical work awaiting the world's verdict, whose composition we have followed step by step. We hear the tumult of applause, share in the showered laurels, and have a place in the little family circle which gathers with joyful tears and smiles, to rejoice together in the stillness of home. The Mendelssohn House formed one of the most famous centers of Berlin life; all that was distinguished in science or letters or music found here a place. But it is ever about the life and work of Felix that the interest of the reader especially centers. One of his biographers has said, "The early death of Mendelssohn like that of Raphael threw all Europe into mourning." As great as his musical genius was the wonderful beauty and purity of his personal character and life, engaging and attracting all who came at all within the range of his personal influence. This is especially illustrated in the " Letters " before us, those written by him to his father and mother, and sisters— especially that marvelously gifted sister Fanny. His life was a busy and splendidly prolific one; one which early ended, it is true, but perfectly rounded out. In England, he was especially loved; and his music is almost as well known abroad as at home. Among his most important works are the exquisite " Songs without words;" the music to the " Midsummer Night's Dream;" the orations of " Paulus and Elijah,'—two of the finest musical productions of any age; the music to " Antigone." It is with difficulty that I force myself to close my sketch of this remarkable family; so singularly have they fascinated me. Such lives are the glory of the human r«ce; a stimulus to all to aspire, more and more, to the "good, the true and the beautiful." The name of Mendelssohn is still honorably I), NOVEMBER, 187 9 . 87 ful growth, forming such a verdant cover, that only stray arrows of sunlight reach the passer below, —we walk to the family bural place.

"Enjoying the favor of the King of Prussia, he was sent on various important missions'which enabled him to extend his investigations, net alone to Europe, but also as far »s Siberia, the Chinese Borderlands and other remote regions. Into these important stores of personal discovery and investigation, he threw the strong, clear light of ■ his own marvellous intellect, und the result was the most famous of his works, one of the most remarkable books of all time—the world celebrated Cosmos. It would be unwise here, within the limits of this brief sketch, to attempt anything like a description of his manifold contributions to literature and science. The whole universe furnished him materials for his work, as we, read the record of his life; he rises before us as a Titan intellect. He was celebrated as Philosopher, as Geographer, National Economist, Historian, Philologist; acquainted with the literature of every land—of the Old and New World, of the Occident and Orient; one who, as has been well said, was to his age what Aristotle and Leibnitz were to theirs. He lived to a ripe old age, retaining in advanced years a singularly brilliant and active intellectual life. For years he was one of the celebrities of the Prussian Capital, whom it was regarded as an especial honor to see. The picture of his genial, smiling and benevolent face, is still fresh in the memory of the Berliners. The hpuse where he lived in the Oranienburger-Strasse, where he lived for so many years, surrounded byhis books, and in the company of his own great thoughts, is now marked by a simple marble slab with his name. After the long journeys of his early manhood and the herculean intellectual efforts of his later life, his body rests side by side with that of his brother in the hush and seclusion of Tegel, while over them both the solemn cypresses keep watch and ward. These great souls have passed within that mystery where no human eye can penetrate, but where we may hope that they have entered upon the fullness of that Eternal Life, for which their earthly years were but the preparation.

It is pleasant to feel that one has friends who will glean from their own flower-beds to adorn your dwelling. We hastened to place them in a vase of water, and the following morning they were fresh and beautiful. We opened our doors and looked out upon a bright world of beauty, made so by an abundance of trees, vines, ferns, shrubbery and flowers—all created by the Hand of an Unseen Friend. A morning shower added fresh loveliness to the bright aspect of surrounding nature, for myriads of sparkling rain-drops glistened like diamonds among the leaves and foliage. We could not but admire how wonderfully and marvelously material nature reflected God's handiwork. While the outer-world contained such undubitable manifestations of God's wisdom and providence, our thoughts were most naturally elevated to a higher display of God's agency, for on open ing the Bible at family worship, the follow- 187 9. prosperity may be the portion of Mr. Grieve. His long experience as a practical printer entitles him to success ; and we feel quite sure he would not have started on this line unless he knew the track; Sale of the " Gazette" Printing Office —On Saturday last at 12 m. the Government sold at public auction the printing establishment known as the Hawaiian Gazette, to the highest bidder. The property was knocked down to Mr. Robert Grieve for the sumofJJl,S7s cash, he being the highest bidder. Mr. Grieve has been foreman in the Gazette office for the past two years under the present management, and for some years foreman under our predecessor, Mr. H. M. Whitney. He is a first-class practical printer, and a painstaking, conscientious man, under whose management thp Gazette will be conducted faithfully and well. He contemplates putting the office in first-class condition by the expenditure of money necessary to renew both type and presses. We take the greatest pleasure in recommending Mr. Grieve to the patrons and friends of tne Gazette, to whom we feel grateful lor their generous support in the past two years. EDITOR'S TABLE. A Life Worth Living Memohials of Emily Bliss Gould, of Rome. By Leonard Woolsey Bacon. New York: Anson D. F. Randolph & Co., 900, Broadway. On opening a box of books from the publishers of this volume, we found several new books intended for the Editor. Among them we find the beautiful tribute of Rev. Dr. Bacon, now of Norwich, Ct„ and formerly of Geneva, Switzerland, to the memory of Mrs. Gould, whose labors among the orphan children of Rome have rendered her name dear to all friends of humanity in Europe and America. Long has the reading public been made familiar with her work by means of her admirable letters as published in the N. Y. Observer and other papers. This volume is a most charming sketch of her life, penned by Dr. Bacon in his happiest moments of authorship, inspired by the contemplation of the life of a truly noble Christian woman. Attached to the volume is a striking photograph of the lady, which presents us a most dignified and winning countenance. With such a face and elegant address, accompanied by a most finished education and the refinement acquired by long intercourse among the choicaccidentally." est of Christian people in the Old and New We clip the following from the World, we can readily imagine that Mrs. issue of the Gazette of last Wednesday.

Under the new regime we hope that she was well acquainted with ninny ol ing verse, written by Paul, was the first to catch our eye : " For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." It may be true, "No man hath seen God at any time," but surely the natural and spiritual worlds are not wanting in manifestations of His presence and We do not live in a world of agency. chance, accident or fate, but of order, beauty and wisdom. The following fable, by one of the Beecher family—Charles—we think, is very suggestive, which we copy from the Advance : " Many years ago a great Eastern philosopher made a large mirror, in a beautiful frame, and hung it up in his parlor. A dog went before it, and ruffled up his hair, growled and showed his teeth. The cat came in, and immediately went and looked behind to find the other cat. A simpleton came in, and seeing the mirror, began to congratulate the artist on his good luck. ■ What a happy accident!' said he. ' Now you can see how you look, and can shave without cutting your face.' ' Friend,' said the artist, 'it was not an accident. It was to see my face in it that I made it.' " Moral: Tlte mirror is material nature that reflects its Maker. The simpleton is he who thinks the Maker made it so : �89 18.0. THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER. DIED. Report of German 8. S. Klectra, ('apt. K.

Koutledge & Sons, and Anson D. F. Eandolph & Co. 1879. Some years ago we read " Memorials of a Quiet Life," by the same author. That volume introduced the reader to a most choice circle ol Christians in the clerical and higher walks of English society. The volume now under review is substantially the same kind of a book, but the range of characters noticed introduces the reader to a still wider circle of the very choicest European Christian society. The life of Baroness Bunsen was spent in Wales, England, Italy, Germany and Switzerland Her companions were Emperors, Kings, ambassadors and literary men and women who irToved in the very highest circle of European society. She was the honored guest of Queen Victoria and the Emperor of Germany. Her husband was the renowned historian and Egyptian scholar, the Ambassador of Germany at Borne and in Lsmlon. It is not to the public career of this noble KU I KM), NOVEMBER, thrsugh the thousand pages of this volume it is most instructive to trace out the various links connecting families in England and Germany. Did our limits allow, we could add much in commending this volume to the perusal of the public. Her range of reading was extensive, and her criticisms upon literary and theological books eminently thoughtful and practical. She closes a notice of Buckle's book on !' Civilization," wherein he endeavors, from a wide range of historical research, lo establish the principle of atheism, with this paragraph from page 399 : " The reply to nil attempts to stigmatize the religion of Christ as the cause of evil is unanswerable, as the fact is and remains, that the faith which causes sin and misery is not the faith of Christ, but a system falsely so called, which the greatest foes of the Gospel cannot deny, if ever they can be brought to comprehend what is the Gospel and what the error of man presuming to interpret the word of God." On the 24th of May, 1870, she thus writes one of her sons—on page 410—referring to the unseen world, to which her husband had taken his departure : " In the regions to which your dear father has attained there is fulness of joy. fulness of work, fulness of object, forthe fitted faculties, and the contributions of earth, however precious here, would have the flavor of sorrow, even if they could reach the abode of blessedness. And yet there are two stanzas of a hymn which I found written out in Theodora's hand—l know not whence copied —which strike my feelings with the melody of truth : 1879.

It is with feelings of sadness thst we have of one of osr most valued members, William F. Damon. —Born in Honolulu, Funahou early claimed him as a pupil; and here the greater part of his to record the death education was received. Five years ago he went to Minneapolis, and there, for a year, attended a Mercantile College. The year following he spent as a member of the Massachusetts Agricultural College nt Amherst, and the love and respect of his associates, at both these institutions, .followed him when he returned to his home here in Honelulu. For tho past three years office duties, in the employ of E. 0. Hall & Son, occupied his attention till his late sickness removed him from our midst. The record of his life is brief, but the length of the invisible record, God alone can estimate. Our Treasurer has left us; but when we remember the looks of sadness, the tears, not alone of sympathy, but of sorrow also, at his loss, on the part of all classes in this community, the loving influence of his grand, Christian manhood is plainly manifest. How forcibly did the words of Christ's minister, at the burial service, come home to us. We can but echo the thought: Why was one so good taken ? The answer comes: From earth's true nobility are chosen the honored in heaven. We wish to call attention to our advertisement in this issue, and particularly to that part ol it relating to the Employment Comrnitlee. The need of such a Committee is surely evident. While so many young men arc continually coming to Honolulu, and tho greatest port of them seeking employment, the want is clearly felt by those interested. The object of the Association being to do good in every practicable way which is brought to its notice in this respect, it has seemed a good thing to aid, as far as possible, strangers coming to our city. NOTICE. The Young Men's Christian Association holds Monthly Meetings at the Lyceum, at hall-past seven o'clock, on the Third Thursday in each month. All young men, and especially strangers, are earnestly invited to attend. The next meeting will be held November 20th.—Subject of discussion : " Unjust Taxation, and How Remedied."

Hall, Dr. C. M. Hyde. "Communism," by appointment, was the subject of discourse at the last meeting of the Y. M.. C. A., leading to an all-engrossing discussion upon Unjust Taxation as a possible germ of communism here in our own fair islands. Monopolies were also spoken of as an impending evil, tending to draw a barrier and shutting off the poorer ol mankind from the free exercise of their rights and destroying that balance of power wherein alone, it senms, liberty is secured to all. Among those that entered into the various branches of this discussion, we would mention the names of' Dr. C. M. Hyde, S. N. Emerson, Rev. S. E. Bishop and C. J. Lyons. _The subject of Unjust Taxation will be continued on at the next meeting of the Y. M. C. A., to be held Thursday, Nov. 20th, when the Association will be happy to receive a full attendance of all interested in Y. M.C. A. work. Idleness generally engenders evil. And, since evil is the object of attack, this has seemed one way of striking a blow. What remains now is for employers and Practical Christianity is no sanctuary those wishing employment, to apply to this sensation, no Sabbath day service. It is Committee. the conscientious discharge of all duty with No man has come to true greatness who a desire therein to know Jehovah. It makes has not felt in some degree thst his life bea temple and the whole life longs to his race, and what God gives him the whole world he gives him for mankind.

A. it was voted to provide and place in some prominent locality a box for the reception of such spare reading matter as might be donated for the Hospital and Prison. The box is now ut the entrance of Messrs. Whitney & Robertson's store. All books and papers received will be distributed where they will do the most good. "There is no greater mistake," said Dr. Bushnell, " than to suppose that Christians can impress the world by agreeing with it. No ; it is not conformity that we want jit is not being able to beat the world in its own way ; but it is to stand apart and almve it, and to produce the impression of a holy and separate life—this only can give us a true Christian power." Intelligence has been received of the death at Jerusalem, of the missionary Bishop Gobat, of the church of England. In early life he went on a mission to Abyssinia, and was afterward sent to Palestine, where he became bishop in 1846 He was a man nf decidedly evangelical principles, earnest in spirit and laboriously engaged in the work of missions. A German by birth, he was appointed on the nomination of the present Emperor of Germany, the naming of the bishop belonging alternately to the Emperor of Germany and the Queen of England.— N~. Y. Observer. Thrice Golden Wedding.—The fiftieth marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Francis Adams occurred last week. It is an interesting and very unusual fact that three golden weddings of successive generations of'the same family should have been observed in the same house. That of President John Adams and his wife was celebrated on the 25th of October, 1814. That of their son, President John Quincy Adams and his wife, on the 26th of July, 1847. The third has just taken place. It will be noticed that the intervals between these occasions were respectively thirty-three and thirty-two years—almost exactly the lifetime of a generation. At the time of their golden weddings, President John Adams was seventy-nine, and President J. Q Adams had just entered his eightieth year. Mr. Adams is seventy-two.— American Exchange. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Money.—Our Island readers are fully acquainted with the names nnd efforts tif those residing here, who labored to secure the Treaty of Reciprocity. There were, however, members of Congress, unknown to us, who were deeply interested in its final passage. Perhaps none more so than the Hon. W. Money, who has been visiting the Islands. We have a distinct recollection of the testimony of Judge Allen, to the good offices of this gentleman, his efforts were the more praiseworthy, as he represented a sugnr-growing district of the United StateSj and that region a southern portion of the nntion. It was not a little remarkable that the Hon. Mr. Money should have risen above all sectional and party considerations, and come out upon the broad principles of national welfare and honor. We trust that in his subsequent career he may obtain a rich reward for his services which were so eminently conducive to our Island prosperity and the welfare of the United States, for as an American we have always regarded the Treaty, as not only mutually beneficial to boih countries, but upon the whole as even more beneficial to America than it was to the Hawaiian Islands.

We have before us the " History of Lee, Mass.,*' the " Centennial Proceedings " of Sheffield, Mass., and a pamphlet relating to South Natick, Mass, where Eliot labored among the Indians and Mrs. Stowe found the outlines of such noted characters, as she has immortalized in her " Old Town Folks." The people of New England are, just now very much engaged in gathering up historical memoranda, and embodying the same in Town Histories and Centennial Celebrations. These book will be of incalculable service to the future historian and writer of Romances. Hawthorne has so clothed some of those old Puritans in garments of Romance, that they appear as fresh and life-like as they did two centuries ago. Mrs. Stowe is doing the same for the dwellers in other parts of New England, as well as for those of South Naiick. " Minister's Wooing "is a most readable conglomerate of fact and fiction, history and romance. We doubt not some future writer will do for America, what Walter Scott has done for Scotland.

RAMBLES IN THE OLDWORLD-No. 32 THE WENDS OF THE SPRF.E-WAI.D. (A Sketchfrom Life.) My " Rambles " have lately led me nmong a singtirlarly interesting people, Ihe IStU fiats Wendl, who are as a nation Inking farewell of a world in which they have in other centuries played a no inconsiderable part. Their history, their interesting and unique life, the picturesque region they inhabit, and above all their grand and noble charcter and honest and loving hearts, have so cnptivaled and won my sympathy and affection, that I feel constrained to share with others, something of the impressions which a recent visit among them hus mnde upon me. A French statesman has recently said le resulLes "tat grandes agglomerations sont would be dune loi providentielle." It useless to deny that the tendency of our age is towards these same " grandes agglomerations," and we should probably rejoice that such is the case, for it has doubtless a grand and beneficial influence upon the progress of the human ra.ee, in fact we thus hope in time lo rise to the broad plain of a universal brotherhood. On the other hand no thoughful reader of history can fail tn note the important role which lesser nations have played in the world's development. No pages of history nre more luminous with the record of great deeds and heroic achievements than those devqtpd to therecital of the struggles of these valiant, though weak races against the assaults oflarge and irresistible forces and arms. This contest has been oftentimes marked by grand and moving pathos. We see in this fierce "struggle for life," the smaller forces slowly retreating, face ever turned to the foe. One vantage ground after another is lost till at length baffled, weary,and exhausted they are forced to lay down their arms, and are quickly lost sight of in the overwhelming ranks of the victors. Or, perchance, possessed of still greater vitality, they are enabled to hold their own for centuries of conflict having entrenched themselves in some remote or inhospitable region, and having cut off, as it would seem all manner of communication with the larger world without. We find examples of such national tenacity among certain peoples in various parts of the world. They have preserved their language more or less perfectly,—they are marked by certain national �66 111 I FRIEND, SK!• T I, ill 15 XX.I 8 7 9. characteristics—or it may be preserve only spirit by force. Subdued in rare tones of the voice or an occasional there, put under military glance or gesture, some eloquent reminder of the stock from which they sprung. Like lonely, weury voyagers on some great and unknown ocean, <lo we meet these wonderers from other days, singing the songs which their fathers sang, but in broken cadence ; clinging in secret, perhaps, to ancient superstitions which have grown wan and ghastly, in the light ol the better and fuller day, which has dawned ; repeating, as if possessed of some talesmanic power, the words of their ancient tongue. For one, I must confess, that i feel on especial tenderness for these smnller races, which are slowly but surely being merged in the " vastes agglomimtions," whose old, poetic individual life is doomed to pass away, snd whose languages will soon be embalmed treasures in the scholar's libraries. As introduction to this singular people, 1 can scarcely do better than to quote some facts in relerence to their history Irom the pages of a traveler, known personally to me who has preceded me in this region, and whose historical account 1 find most suggestive agd interesting. "THE PRUSSIAN WENDS AND THEIR HOME." The Wends were carried into .Northern Germany by the vast movement of peoples which took place in tho fourth und fifth centuries of the Christian era. As fast us the Swevi, Franks, and other original German tribes swept over the Rhine and down upon the I'uir domains of the Roman Empire, their places were filled by other barbarians from the vust plains of Asia. In the adjustment ol those races in the west it happened that the Scluvcs or aiclavuiiiiiiis acquired nearly the whole region from the Elbe eastward, including Silesia, Poland, I'riiHxia and much of what is now Russia. These were not indeed all Wend-. By the fifth century tho Wends were firmly settled in their new homes. In culture, and refinement, in the arts, und conveniences of life, in agriculture, trade, and other industries, they were not behind tbe Saxons, their neighbors. They lived in towns and villages and possessed a rudo system of civil government. Their religion was a species of polytheism. They believed, indeed, in one supreme god— Belboy ; but he seems to have been a Sclavic Jove among lesser divinities, the Wends and Saxons lived at peace and even in friendt<hip. Long before thut, however, a more powerful foe had obstructed their traffic from the south. So long as tho Saxons were heathen, and knew only tbe faith of their fathers, they could live with neighbors who were also heathen, Christianity was a conquering religion. It i could not be stagnant; it must advanco; and the historian is forced to admit that in early times it was little scrupulous about the policy by which it spread itself among the unreclaimed barbarians. The missionaries were often indeed the pioneers, but the warrior followed not far behind. Early in tbe ninth century the Saxons were converted to Christianity and their relations to the Wends were at once changed. Tbey no longer saw a simple active and thriving people, whose products filled all the markets of the north] hut a race of defiant heathen, who, at any price must be reduced under the sway of the Cross. They sent their bishops and abbots through the whole region, to Poland, to I'omoraniu, to Silesia, to the banks ol the Elbe and the Oder. In some of these provinces as has been said, the conquest was easy. But in others, and notably along the right bank of the Elbe, below Magdeburg tbe opposition was strong, tbe struggle long and arduous. It seemed impossible to persuade the Wends to Christianity or to break their Ccelully in places here und governors, and compelled to accept the tonus of the alien fuitli, they seined in every case the earliest chance to rise, expel their masters and restore tbeir own chosen priests. About tbe middle of tbe lOt h century it seemed as if their resistance bud finally spent itself. In 983 while the Germans were occupied far away in Italy, the Wends ruse again with the hour ol vengeance, destroyed the churches, slaughtered tho priests and with lire and sword obliterated every trace of Christianity. The Germans were driven fur back over the Elbe, anil for two centuries no attempt was made to recover the lost possession. In the 12th century came Albert the Hear. nnd his advent scaled tbe doom of tbe Wends, lie and Ins successors pursued indeed n liberal policy. The Wends who honestly embraced the Christian faith and German manner of lilc were placed on equal tonus with the conquerors. Then there were Wemlish peasants side hy side with the Gcrmuns ; Weiidisti towns which Here Germanized not destroyed, one or two Wendish princes who were made Geriuuu nobles, and founded some of the old Prussian families. Hut there were exceptions. The rule for a century was one of actual or truest hostility. The great body of the Wends loughr the conquerors step by step, year alter year, even century ulier century. At last the time cume when they could no longer resist in the open Held, liuully the vast swamps ol the Spreewald ceased to shelter them, and they have since been losing, day by duy, all the elements which made them u distinct people A Wendish writer says of his kinsmen Unit "their nationality, habits, and language ure like the rock of Heligoland, from which tho heating waves yearly tear uway a piece, until finally tho unlucky island shall disappear." Through the loss of its forests and the efforts of engineering skill, the region hue been deprived ol most of its original wildncss. A hundred and even iifty years ago, it was almost an impassable forest uod swamp." BOATING IN THE SPREEWALD. The Spreewald might almost be termed a suburb of the German capital, being easily reached in three or four hours by rail from Berlin. Till one has made the tour of this unique and picturesque region it would be difficult for him to imagine, that so delightfully fresh and primitively poetic a nook, lay so near the noise and bustle of the great and crowded city. It is surprising indeed that so few are aware what a charming ramble lies within their reach ; better perhaps for those who do come and are permitted to enjoy it in its yet unspoiled simplicity. Availing myself of a few days of vacation at Whitsuntide, I left the busy streets of Berlin for the fragrant and bird-filled groves, which border the winding arms of the Spree. It was when the perfect month ofJune was enjoying her most perfect days. The late and tardy spring was atoned for hy the matchless verdure of the early summer, and to all those who were permitted at this season to wander out from the cities of the German Fatherland into the beauty ofher woods and country ways, this season could scarcely fail to have been a source of indescribable pleasure. My way led me first to the town of Liibben, which lies on the frontier of the Spreewald, which with Lubbenan and Vetschan, was "originally founded as a barrier against the aggressions of the Wends and formed part of a circle of forts which almrst surrounded the forest." The town quiet and common plucc, enough in itself has, a certain poetic sacredness from thp fact that that sweetest of " sweet singers," Paul Ger- hard, lived and died here. He is burietl in the village church, which stands among clustering trees, on one side of the quaint old market-place. Scarcely any relic of the 17th century is more precious to Germany, than the rarely, tenderly beautiful hymns ol Gerhard, which seem now filled with martial music born of a triumphant ar.d unwavering faith, and now melodious with the chime of for off vesper-bells, inviting to devotion and penitent prayer. Near the town of Liibben is a glorious grove of elms, which tradition says was once sacred to the Wendish goddess of love, " Ljuba." There is a charming freshness about traveling in the Spreewald which I found especially delightful. At Liibben one says good-bye to cars and rails, and takes to the more enjoyable if less swift traveling by boat. The river Spree in the early part of its course is for a number of miles a succession of rapids but after this it strikes the most level of plains and spreads itself out into hundreds of arms, forming a perfect labyrinth—in the forest. Here is the home of the Wends. Afterwards the branches again unite and ihe river holds its way—on to the north. The Spreewald or Spree-forest has unfortunately for travelers and lovers of the beautiful in nature, largely disappeared—vast tracts, where a hundred years ago the trees stood in serried ranks hoary with age, are now wide spreading open fields. Still enough remains to show us how grand and beautiful it must have been. All through this extensive tract are scattered the villages and farms of the Wends and German.', the two races having in these later centuries struck a lasting peace, dwelling side by side in friendship. The Spreewald is something of a rural Venice—in our imagination changing the marble palaces —bordering the shores of the cnnal, for the arching beauty of the splendid forest trees, and seeing in the blue-eyed Wendish boatman ant! his swift and dexterously guided " kahn a reminder ofhis darker -but I think scarcely more poetic brother, singing to the dip of his gondola—oars. Surely no fairer— more perfect sunshine ever lighted the gold and marbles, of San Marco, than that which in June glints through the leafy aisles—of this northern forest. The boatmen seem bom to the oar. I have seen tiny Wendish maidens too—in their quaint and picturesque costumes, darting through the shadows of the forest, like tropical birds guiding their boats, with a skill that a professional oarsman might have envied. Every one, man, woman and child, seems at home on these " liquid ways," which are as dear to them as the country-lanes to the peasantry of England. So have they lived for centuries, each life—from the early festivities attending the baptism—until the coffin is placed reverently in the prow of the boat—and the " Dober naz" or "goodnight " is said, and the body borne away to the little burying ground, having been spent as much on the water ns the land. It is the very poetry of travel! One takes his seat in a long, flat-bottom boat, which is often times most comfortably arranged, but where generally the only seat is a bundle of straw. The oarsman, does not row or scull but " poles " from the stern. Your boatmnn being behind you, at times you seem almost — — ' �THE Mll 1: I*ll, alone in the solitude of the forest. The morning air is delicious with the perfumed breath of the early summer. You have taken your seat in your bout which you have engaged for a day or two, and your bronzed-cheeked, and blue-eyed boat man has already won your heart by his kindly respectful words. You have in a moment entered a new world, a magical under world. Your eye is on a level with the long, but graceful river-grasses which hitherto you have crushed with your foot in passing or bent to gather. Here they brush against your cheek at every turn. I felt as if 1 had found a new jewel in the open casUet of nature—one, which, those men, who with annointed eyes, living in the enjoyment of her treasures, seeing beauty where other men never cared to look, would have known how to prize. It seemed as if, by some higher spiritualism, one felt the presence of such poets as Thoreau, Keats or Shelley,—quaint, and wondrous growths such as I had never known before, lifted themselves into view. Reeds and rushes, water lihes and blue forgetmenots form our way side hedge. The air is full of murmur and music. Over our heads the long, graceful branches of thousands of elms form a leafy roof, pierced with arrows of sunlight. Now our boat lingers in some shadowy pass of the forest, now darts out into the wide expanse of open fields, where the tasselled grain and emerald grass—rise und fall, fall and rise again, like waves, as the summer wind sweeps over them. All the birds ol the north and spring are singing —from the lark high up in the blue,—to ■the nightingale who mistakes the glooms of the forest for the shadow of night. We visit little villages, quaint and picturesque and peaceful, guarded by the spire of the church and the tower of the castle. We exchange friendly wortls and greetings with the country folk whose boats meet ours at some sharp turn in the forest or in the passage through the fields. It is the first ol haying time and the barges come down the river, floating islands of verdure—piled high with the moist grass and sweet with wild flowers. Hour after hour we spend on the water. Night finds us at a friendly farmer's home among the oaks, still another dav, with boating and rambling and we come to a comfortable little inn in the heart of the forest and not far away from the WENDISH SETTLEMENT, BURG. I have alrendy alluded to the bounds of the Spreewald, within which lie a number of Wendish towns and villages. The most interesting in many respects is the town of Burg, where an excellent opportunity is afforded the visitor of seeing the people in their picturesque national costume. My visit in the Spreewald was well-timed being at Whitsuntide, so that I had a most excellent opportunity of studying the Wends at one of their holiday seasons. They are protestants, and are a singularly religious people, preserving much of that old simplicity and earnestness of faith, which is so often wanting among the dwellers in many parts of Germany. The large church with its tower, forms the center of the little town, about which the neat and cozy homes of the Wends are grouped. It forms also the center towards which the inhabitants of the SEPTEMBER, country for many miles around flock on Sundays and fete days. The Wends are a thrifty sturdy, honest race. They have forced the land of this great marsh tn produce rich and abundant harvest, and many of them are wealthy peasants, living in the midst of wide spreading and fruitful farms. Unfortunately, for many reasons, the Wendish language is fast disappearing. The language is Sclavic closely related to the Polish and Russian. Notwithstanding the great number of consonants which form the words, the language when spoken or sung, sounds most musically. Nearly all the Wends speak German, and German and Wendish go side by side in the schools, though the language of the Teuton will in time wholly displace that of the Sclave. Germany has no better, truer, more loyal sons and daughters than the Wends. She has sent her best and noblest men to light and fall for the Fatherland, and in the village churches one's attention is first of all drawn to the names of those who fell in the wars of this century. I have seen nothing so charmingly picturesque among the peasantry of Switzerland, or Norway, ns the gathering of the Wends in the village church at Burg. On WhitSunday, I walked down from my little hotel in the forest, a mile, perhaps, to the village. The first day, of the festival is regarded by the peasants as peculiarly sacred and the women appear in solemn, white and black. The worthy cantor or school-master of the town, had told me that I must not fail to be present at the service on Monday, and I found that he was right. It was certainly one of the most brilliant sights which I have seen in all my travels. The following description of the dress of the women, will enable you to understand somewhat better, how bright a congregation must be where the women by hundreds are in such costumes. "The head dress is made of a single square piece of linen as white as snow and siarched with exquisite art which is bound about the head. It stands out on each side like t great fan. A jacket of velveteen with full white sleeves is not enough for the body ; over this small shawls of oriental brilliancy are tightly and neatly pinned. The shawls are sometimes worn instead of the white linen on the head and with the long fringe falling down look very fantastic and picturesque. The skirts always mnke up in width, what they lack in length. They are usually of plain woolen goods, red, blue, green, or orange, trimmed at the bottom by a band of black velvet ribbon or some plain stripe. The lining is of the stiffest crinoline. There is still another costume worn by widows and by communicants at the Sacrament. The skirt is black and instead of the heavy linen head dress a piece of thin white muil is laid across the head, with a black ribbon to keep it in place. The face sinks down into «n immense Elizabethan ruff of the same material." Just endeavor to picture this unique assemblage. From the country fur around they have been gathering for hours. The winding canals, the shadowy-passes of the forest, the fields of standing grain have been lighted up all along by these brilliant-peasant dresses. The interior of the church is tastelully and profusely decorated with fes- 18 79. 67 and wreaths and branches and boughs of elm and alder, green with the beauty of summer. The body of the church is filled by the women, numbering several hundred, so that as we look down upon them from above, these brilliant and gorgeous costumes, seem like great tropical blossoms in a garden-parterre. The men occupy the long galleries, their dress being in striking conirast to that of the women, that of the latter being all color and glitter, the former, sober and precise black, relieved now and then by some more ancient coat in blue with huge brass buttons. The service and sermon are in Wendish. The people all join in the slow singing of the chorals and bend devoutly in prayer. The clergyman is u young man, in black robe and bands, with a refined and scholarly face. 1 came to know him Inter and found him a most agreeable and intelligent gentlemen, an educated Wend, who is devoting his life, faithfully and successfully to his people. The organ fills the church with its deep melody, once more after the service, then comes a baptism, and then the great congregation pass out in the same quiet decorous manner in which they have entered And novv is the time to see the display of the Wendish dress. The village streets are bright with color. The open square before the grey church is, in the radiant sunshine, a mosaic of blue and crimson, green, violet, scarlet, orange, brown, rose color. The Wendish women seem to have an oriental fondness for color and display. Some of them are beautiful, with complexions which many a high bom lady might envy, lustrous white suffused with the rose and red which their life in the fragrant forests in the flowery fields, under the blue of their native sky can alone impart. There are "studies" for an artist at every turn, here a group of maidens, daughters of the wealthier peasants, the country aristocrscy in their brilliant and often costly costumes, chatting with the brown, honest, blushing farmer boys, with huge, roses in their button-holes. Here a bent and wrinkled grandmother, clinging to her staff, and carrying her carefully folded handkerchief and prayer book, looking in her quaint costume, as if she hnd stepped out of an ancient picture A rosy cheeked maiden, stands unconscious of the artistic effect, under some arching door-way festooned with clinging ivy—quiet groups gaiher among the yet quieter graves of the little hurrying ground. But most attractive of all are the dear little Wendish maidens, mere babies, walking.with all the stateliness of an empress, and dressed in as quaint a style as their mothers. Slowly they are scattering to their homes. Far off amid the green fields you catch the gleam of a scarlet skirt or orange turban, vanishing at length in the shadows of the forest, and so closes this carnival of color which repeats itself, with each recurring Sabbath and fete day. One of my delightful excursions in the neighborhood of Burg was to the Burgberg, now a grass and grain grown rampart, where it is said the ancient Kings of the Wends had for centuries their castle and fortress. There have been most interesting relics of late years found* here. The view from the mound over the wide spreadtoons �68 INK FRIEND, SEPTEMBER. ing plain, with its fertile fields and mead- never more heartily drank than among the ows, and verdant groves, loved of the Wends of the Spreewald.

One quiet afternoon as I was reading in the garden of my Forest-hotel, I was pleasantly startled by hearing a voice, cheerily calling out to me, "Aloha /" Imagine my surprise! Had the oaks and elms of the Spreewald learned the language of Hawaii ? It was my kind friend the good Cantor of Burg, who had so pleasantly surprised me, and when I questioned him further I learned that a gentleman, a remarkable linguist, who has been spending some time amongst the Wends, studying their character, life and language, had taught him our greeting. This led to my meeting a little later this same gentleman, Herr Dr. Sanerwein, whose acquaintance will be among the very pleasant memories of my visit in this most interesting region. The doctor is a gentleman of rare and wide scholarly attainments, and is n poet in heart and nature. For his kind hospitality, (1 was his guest for several days in a little tree-embowered Wendish village, of idyllic beauty, with groves of which Bryant might have sung); and for the opportunity given me of meeting with so rich and highly gifted a nature, keenly sensitive to the beautiful both in the real and the ideal of life, 1 shall always be most sincerely grateful. He has studied languages without end, of many of them he is master and sings his songs in I know not how many tongues. He is one of those men " to know whom is to be rich." Years ago he interested himself in the Hawaiian, obtaining of this musical language as correct an idea as is possible through books. This of course formed immediately a bridge on which we met. The days I spent as his guest will ever seem to me a blending of Hawaii and the Spreewald, so much did our words and thoughts have to do with those lands of the North and South. Through his kindness I had the pleasure of seeing much of the Wends. A company of them came to sing for me their ancient melodious folk-songs, bringing me flowers as our Hawaiians do. I saw them in their homes nestling picturesquely among the trees, talked with them in the fields, working amidst the sunshine and the rain, watched them in their country dances and festivities, breathed ss it were for a time the poetry of their simple, honest, beautiful life. Do you wonder that my memories of the Spreewald are pleasant. To all the kind friends who there did so much to make my stay agreeable, I take this opportunity of sending my aloha nui loa.

Hawaiian Legation, Berlin, July 16, 1579. : The arrival of the distinguished visitors the Hon. W. M. Gwinn, Hon. W. Money, Hon. F. B. Low and Hon. F. McCoppin, reminds us of events thirty years ago in California, when it was our privilege to make a tour through Oregon and California. Most vividly do we recall the celebration of the 4th of July, 1849, in the grove where now stands the City of Sacramento, when the Hon. Mr. Gwinn addressed the assembled multitude. We had just arrived Irom an excursion across the plains from Stockton, where it had been our privilege to deliver the first sermon ever preached in that city. We copy as follows from our journal as published in the Friend of December, 1849 "The country between Stockton and Sutter's Fort, is very level, and dry. A part of the distance the traveller passes through extensive " oak openings," Weary and sunburnt, we arrived at the Fort, about 12 o'clock, having rode nearly seventy miles since 3 o'clock, of the previous afternoon.— July ith:—The morning was ushered in with the firing of cannon and crackers.

After 30 years it is pleasant again to meet Sen. Gwinn. During these thirty years what stirring scenes have been witnessed in the world's history. There is one pleasing incident in the life of the distinguished Senator, to which we refer with delight. About the year 1857 a crew of Japanese landed destitute and friendless in San Francisco Among them was a bright and intelligent lad, who was so foitunate as to attract the Senator's attention, and was taken by him to Washington and there educated. Years pass and the young man returns to the Pacific Coast and joined the Cooper about 1860, under command of Capt. Brooks, who had beencommissioned to take the deepsoundings from San Francisco to Japan, via Honolulu. Some of our readers will remember young Hiko, who whs the guest of the Attorney General, Mr. Bites. After arriving in Japan, he became a merchant, and wt> have frequently heard of him as exceedingly prosperous in business. Shakespeare aptly remarks : " Ilnw far that little candle throws his rssawSaJ Ho shines a kihkl deed In a naughty world." Since writing the above Mr. Gwinn has related the following anecdote respecting his old protege. During the civil war, Hiko was Secretary of the Japanese Legation in Washington, and when visiting some friends in Georgetown, he was arrested as General Beauregard, and could not obtain his release until he had sent for evidence to Washington, where he was well-known. Hawaii at Amherst. Among the graduating class of Amherst College for this year we notice three belonging to the islands, viz: Charles A. Peterson, Benjamin Bond and Oliver Shipman. The former arrived by a late vessel, having been absent just four years. His brother Arthur arrived a few weeks previous, having been studying law at Michigan University and Plymouth, Mass. It is exceedingly pleasant to meet young men returning, after spending a few years in Colleges, and ambitious to acquire an education to fit them for professional life. Mr. Peterson speaks of a pleasant re-union of the sons and daughters of Hawaii at Amherst, coming to enjoy the festivities of the commencement season. The gathering embraced the following Fanny Andrews, graduate of South Hadly; Luella Andrews, from Almira, N. V., Female Seminary j and Florence Andrews. These are daughters of the late Rev. C. B. Andrews, of Maui. Rev. William Bond, graduate of Andover Theological Seminary; Benjamin Bond ami Abbie Bond, from Bradford Female Seminary. These are children ol the Rev. E. Bond, of Kohala, Hawaii. Oliver Shipman and Clare Shipman, from Abbott Female Seminary, Andover. These are children of Mrs. Reed, formerly Mrs. Shipman, of Hilo. It may be well imagined that at such a gathering these young people must have enjoyed much in recalling their island experiences and their student lives. : �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, Recognition Hawaii in Germany.—Among the frequent notices of our Islands in European papers, there has recently appeared a long communication, in the "Deutsche Rundschau," a leading Monthly in Berlin, upon the Hawaiian Islands. It is written by Dr. Boehe, surgeon on board the German vessel of war, Arcona, visiting Honolulu in 1875. This article is highly appreciative of the Islands and of the foreign society to which the writer was inroduced while here. The editor of the "Rundschau" hasforwardeda copy to His Majesty, wit h the following letter, which we are permitted to publish, accompanied with His Majesty's appreciation of the favor : Sire :—Tho undersigned editor of the Rundschau " begs to have the Deutsche "honour of presenting to your Majesty a copy of a report on the Hawaiian Islands, which has appeared in the current number of the said periodical.

Mr. C, came out as a farmer, after a so-journ of a ye*r or more, he returned with his family, as it was not found practicable to carry on farming-operations for the benefit of the mission or natives. The last survivor of that first company was, Mrs. Jerusha Chamberlain, who died at Qttincy, Mass., June 27 at the advanced age of ninety two years and seven months. We would merely add, that among the Pioneer English ladies arriving here in early times was Mrs. Mary Taylor, sister of the wife of the British Consul, Mr. Charlton, and that she now resides in London, at the advanced age of about 87 years, and in good health, and a constant reader of the " Friend."

Margarethenstrasse, 1., July 15th, 1879. Recognized.—On a former trip of the Kalukana, a stranger took passage for the Islands, for the benefit of his health. Capt. Jenks and wife did all in their power for his comfort, even allowing him to occupy their stateroom, he died on the passage, his name was G. G. Wayne of Piladelphia. Capt. Jenks wrote to his friends, and the Masonic Lodge of which he was a member. So highly did these parties appreciate the kind services of Captain and Mrs. Jenks, that the Williamson Lodge of Philadelphia, sent to him a handsomely framed testimonial while his friends presented Mrs. Jenks,. with a gold watch and chain. It is with pleasure we note such expressions of appreciation for services rendered, and their infrequency only renders them more praiseKindness worthy. Oahu College, opens on Wednesday of this week.

His youth wan spent here, chiefly at Punahou School where he prepared fur college In company*with other young men who have attained positions of respectability and influence tn Huh country, and tho United States, amongst others Hon. A. F. Judd of the Bupreme Bench, Dr. N. Emerson and General Armstrong of Hampton School. He graduated from Vale College in 1863, and Immediately took tbe place of his father, (who on account of 111 health bad been obliged to retire from tbe active duties of the firm) lv tbe bouse which hla fatherhad aided In establishing. Upon tbe death of tbe latter he became a partner. From the timeof hla connection with the bouse in 1863 he haii been known In thin community ss a clear sighted, active and upright business man. He was active and Influential In the Fort Street Church of which he was a member, trustee and treasurer. Hla presence waa always welcomed in the social circle. He was a good son and brother and friend, snd a beloved husband and father. He will be missed from the business community from the church, the social circle; but most ofall from his home, by the widow and the children whom he haH left behind. His last days though filled with pain from which be would fain bave been released, were days of peace,—the peace which Jesus gives to hla beloved.

It would be surprising if it were not so; but, as a rule, I found the missionaries filled with the plain common sense for which the New England agriculturists are celebrated. They are all married, live in comfortable, clean houses, and are simple and unpretending in their habits, following as near as possible the habits and customs of their forefathers to which they had been accustomed before they left their native land. They neither drink wine nor smoke tobacco, and though their toleration allows the guest within their gates to indulge in the latter bad habit, yet they never provide strong drink for them or for any one. "Looking down from an eminence, as do these simple, disinterested, shrewd men. on the intrigues and scandals going on around them, I believe their opinions on the condition of the provinces and the provincial populations to be more unbiased and valaable than any other. Any one whose duty it is to become acquainted wiih the state of the country cannot do better than obtain his information from, I might almost say, this, the only pure, disinterested source that exists in thiraacountry."

The above observations upon American Missionaries in Turkey, correspond with the remarks, which we recently heard drop from the lips of His Excellency Ex-Governor Lpw, respecting American Missionaries 18 79. contributed essentially to the making of Astor's princely fortune. Mr. Parton quotes from 'Old Merchants of New York" Ist Series, as follows: " He went to ihe ship-owner, and got back his pass. He then bought a ship, and loaded her with an assorted cargo. On. her way out, she touched at the Sandwich Islands to take in water and Iresh provisions. They also laid in a large slock of firewood. " When this ship reached Canion a mandarin came on board, and noiicing their firewood, asked the price of it nt once. The Captain laughed at such a question, but signified that he was open to an offer. The mandarin offered $500 a ton, and every part of it was sold at. that price. That was sandal wood. " For seventeen years Mr. Astor enjoyed the lucrative sandal-wood trade without a rival. No other concern in the United States or England knew the secret. Nor was it discovered until a shrewd Boston ship-owner detailed a ship to follow one of Mr. Astor's, und observe the events of the voyage. Then, for some time, that house was a participant in this valuable trade. Astor's Estate. " It was a curious fact that Mrs. Astor of the income from the knew more of the value of furs than he did.

FAREWELL TO NORWAY. After the delighful days on Sogne Fjord but little time remained for further rambles in Norway. In Bergen on the western coast, I spent a short time, enjoying this picturesque town, and especially the quaintfisher-folk, who flock hither on market days. Bergen is situated on a wild bleak coast, but the landward side is rendered beautiful by blooming gordens and vertlant hills. Many of the ancient buildings remain, which were used in former times by the German Merchants who formed such a powerful guild here. From Bergen I took steamer, for Hamburg. The voyage lasted two days. We touched at different points on the Norwegian coast, which however as you proceed South, loses the wild grandeur which characterizes it farther North. We stopped for a short time at Stavanger and some hours at Christiansand, a pleasant town. Here I had time to take a delightful walk in the early autumn sunshine on the hills lying back of the town. The sail or steam from the mouth of the Elbe to Hamburg was most delightful—the day perfect in autumn freshness. Soon we found ourselves in the midst of the forests of masts, which border the Hamburg wharfs, and the sound of German words filled the air, and my Scandinavian as far as the journey was at an end. t actual steam, rail and foot-travel was concerned, but to be lived over and over and over again, in pleasant memories. May the richest of blessings rest on these fair lands and may the spirit of peace and prosperity which now reigns here abide forever realizing in its best and holiest sense a golden age «•• for Scandinavia. HAMBDROI. In Hamburg I found a cordial and delightful welcome awaiting me, in the most beautiful home of our Hawaiian Consul, Herr Weber, who with his amiable and accomplished lady and charming children form n rare and agreeable family circle. 1 know that I am at the enthusiastic period of my life, and see everything in warm colors, and perhaps to you at a distance, I seem to deal largely in superlatives, but I can truly say, that of all the beautiful homes which have �62 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, opened friendly doors to me in my rambles, and of all the warm welcomes, which have charmed and cheered me, the home and welcome in Hamburg, exceeded and surpassed all. Everything had been arranged for me, my writing table prepared in the library, my home letters awaiting me, a footman in livery placed at my disposal. Mr Weber was soon at home, and though we had only met once or twice in Berlin, yet from the first we had been good friends, as in many respects we had similar tastes aVid ideas. As it was necessary for me to hasten back to Berlin, I had only two or three days to spend here, but every moment nearly was occupied, my friends were very clever in getting a great deal of sight-seeing and visiting into a short time. We walked and drove through the city, so that even in the short time I was there, I saw much of the picturesque old houses ofthe city—its busy bustling streets, its splendid parks and gardens. One day we made a charming excursion on the shores of the Elbe. We lunched at a famous restaurant, from which there is a superb view over the river on which hundreds of ships and great steamers are constantly sailing. On our return home we frequently alighted from the carriage, to walk through some noble park or visit some beautiful hot-house or garden of friends or acquaintance of theirs, which lie along the Elbe for miles, The family of our Consul is one of the first in Hamburg. His brother is now Rurgermeister, the highest position in this somewhat Republican city, and he pointed out to me one splendid residence after another, where some relative, lived. Mr Weber»introduced me to many gentlemen among them Herr Gossler, Mrs. Weber's father formerly Hawaiian Consul in Hamburg. I met also on the Exchange, Mr Moll, who was many years ago, a merchant in Honolulu.. One evening we dined at the country house of Madame Weber, the mother of my friend, I never felt more honored than in taking this wonderful old lady, 86 years of age, out to dinner. She is one of the most remarkable persons I ever met, retaining to a wonderful degree her brilliancy of intellect, speaking with energy and eloquence on all subjectsof Art, Literature, Religion, etc. She is one of the intellectual forces of Hamburg. Mr. Weber's house is like himself, artistic through and through. It seems to have been a dream of his to have a perfect home, and few dreams seem ever to have been more nearly realized. It is full of beauties, you can turn in no direction, but something suggestively beautiful dawns or flashes on you. You take your coffee after dinner in the tropics, in the midst of rare ferns and vines, with a view beyond into an exquisite little hot-house full also of ferns and rich leaved plants. Rich old Italian wood-carvings, dusky with age, filled some of the rooms, even the " bathtub " is artistic, carved white marble from Italy, rare paintings hung on the walls. Mr. Weber has a special fondness for collecting old coins, Greek and Roman, of which he has a fine collection. I was amazed at the new world which he opened to me, in this respect. He has one work on Greek coins which is in 21 volumes. 187 9. Christ, in vogue in the Punic wars, which were recently found in a grave near Naples. Then there are many Greek and Roman coins in gold and silver, bright and shining as if they had just dropped from the die. Herr Weber has probably the finest pic- gallery, for historical study in all North Germany The dining hall for large dinner parties is a perfect work of art, the walls consist of exquisite paintings from two Weimarartists. From my bed-room I had a splendid view over the garden, which though it lies in the city, is so large that you think you must be in some country place,—great trees, smooth lawns, groupings of shrubbery, carved Italian seats, a Grapery etc, etc. From the spacious Drawing Rooms there is a splendid view also over the Alster, which here broadens like a lake. But I must not weary you further with hurried details, which can give so little idea of the reality. The Hawaiian Flag floated over us during my stay and very bright, beautiful and home like, it seemed to me. It 4s a great pleasure to have spent a few days in such an atmosphere, and better than all, to find that all these material treasures have in no way quenched the noble, generous impulses of their owners. Leaving Hamburg, I reached Berlin September 28. Pleasant as has been all my summer travel, very, very pleasant was it for me to be at home once more, as I have grown so much attached to this German Capital. ture :o: THE IMPERIAL GOLDEN WEDDING IN BERLIN. In letters of gold stands now written in German Annals the record of this most interesting week in which the illustrious Pair, Wilhelm Ist and Augusta, Emperor and Empress of Germany, celebrated, amid the acclamations of a loving and united nation, the anniversary of their fiftieth wedding day. An event of so rare occurrence, as. that of a " the crowning of half a " golden ofwedding wedded life, is of itself, in any century rank in life and in any land, most singularly impressive and tenderly poetic. So that it becomes an anniversary of national and historic importance when occurring in the united lives of the Sovereigns of one of the most powerful nations in History, and in a land where all the events of homeand family life, from earliest infancy to latest age, in palace or peasant's hut, are invested with a beautiful and poetic significance. Hence we find the opening words of the address of the Court-Chaplain pronounced at the marriage service on the 11th of June, especially truthful in their eloquence. song of praise is awaked. " Andthe the From banks of the Rhine and Mosel, from whose heights last evening the gleam of joyful fires illumined the land, to the twin-sees of the north, and again to the shores of the Bodin Sea and far over the borders of Germany rises to the Lord of Lords a new song."— Realizing the warm and sincere interest which many take in the welfare of Germany and ber rulers, 1 have thought a brief outline of the ceremonies attending this unique anniversary might not be uninteresting.— perceptibly larger, hundreds and thousands had come in from the country and other cities to take share in the celebrations.—Perhaps never hod such a company of heads of Princely and Ducal houses gathered in the capital, and their bril- streets the throng grew liant equipages were constantly dashing along the avenues. The first official celebration of the day was a grand open air concert on the Donhofls Platz, one of the principal squares of the city, at nine o'clock in the morning.—lt was a most impressive and imposing affair. The chorus consisted of over fifteen hundred voices from the various musical organizations of the city, famed for their careful and accurate training, attended by bands of music under skilled leaders.— The spacious " Platz" was filled with hundreds and thousands of listeners. The singers filled a huge raised platlorm. Everything combined to render the concert interesting and impressive. The day was lovely with all the beauty and freshness of midJune and the charm which the still early morning possesses.—Summer skies arched themselves above the listening thousands and the golden sun shone as if rejoicing in the gladness of the wedding day.—The music was chosen with rare taste and care. Never have I realized more truly the grand and stately music of the old German church chorals, than as sung by this grand choir ; it moved one like the wind in primeval " March forests." Mendelssohn's " Wedding that most inspiring composition was appro-" priately given as one of the pieces in the programme. From early morning the avenue " Unter den Linden " was filled with thousands, who desired to catch a glimpse of the Emperor and Empress. Flags and banners and festoons of green gave the city a very holiday appearance. Near noon the Emperor and Empress drove at the head ola procession of princes and potentates, —the Duke of Edinburgh representing the Royal Family of England, and the Grand Duke Alexis that of Russia, from their palace to the Imperial Castle where the ceremony of the •'golden wedding" was celebrated.—This took place in the Imperial Chapel, and was confined to the Royal Family, the forejgn princes and the higher German officials. The other guests appeared afterwards to present their congratulations. The ceremony is described as most impressive. The address of the Court-Chaplain was most eloquent, and all the circumstances combined to give a peculiarly solemn and earnest character to the scene. At the conclusion of the ceremony a salute of 101 guns announced its completion to the waiting thousands without, and cheer on cheer rent the air. The Emperor and Empress now took their stand in the great " white saloon," for the grand court reception. After the King and Queen of Saxony, with the long and brilliant train of foreign princes, attended by their lords and ladies, the Emperor and Empress received the " corps' diplomatique," who passed in line before their Majesties, led by the different ambassadors. It was a brilliant and superb pageant. The Emperor and Empress were radiant with smiles and The French collect the facts and the GerFESTIVITIES OF THE DAY. kindliness.

The Empress was regally attired �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, for the occasion, a robe of white satin embroidered with sprays of orange-blossoms, from which swept away a splendid train of cloth of gold or brocade. Near the Emperor stood the Crown-Prince, and at the side of the Empress, her daughter-in-law the Crown-Princess. The latter appeared in public on this day, for the first time since the death of her son, Prince Waldemar. She was attired in the purest white, and wore no ornaments. Her face is still very very sad, and in the midst of the brilliancy and splendour of this joyful day I am sure every one felt a warm and tender sympathy for the princely mother, called to mourn so deep a loss. For hours following there passed a continual line before the Imperial pair, court-officials, corporations, deputations, guilds, etc., etc., offering their congratulations. At length, later in the afternoon, the Imperial carriage appeared drawn by six superb horses, and attended by out riders. From castle to palace a splendid double line of university students formed a spalier through which the Imperial carriage passed. After their arrival at their palace, the Emperor and Empress appeared immediately on the balcony fronting the Linden and bowed repeatedly to the throng below, whose acclamations filled the air. It was one of those splendid crowning moments in a nation's history and no German or foreigner present could have witnessed it unmoved. In the evening there was a gala-opera performance, the opera chosen being the " Olympia " of Spontini, which was superbly sung. None but invited guests were present. The Imperial loge was occupied by the Emperor, Empress, their family and guests. I think 1 have scarcely ever witnessed a more splendidly brilliant sight than that which the Opera house afforded on this evening. The ladies were in full dress and glittering with diamonds, and the gentlemen with few exceptions in uniforms more or less brilliant. Bismarck, Moltke, Mantenffel, Biilou, and other great lights in the German Firmament were present. At night the city was splendidly illuminated. The banks of the Rhine and the adjacent hills were lighted by bonfires, on the left bank Irom Bingerbruck to Rolandseck, and on the right bank from Eltville to the Seven Hills. The fires were lighted at 9 o'clock and kept burning one hour along the whole distance—sixty miles. The grandeur of this demonstration attracted a large number of strangers to the Rhine Valley. On Thursday it was expected that a grand parade would take place, but owing to the fact that the Emperor of Russia was unable, on acconnt of the illness of his daughter-in-law, to be present, this idea was abandoned. On Thursday followed a grand dinner in the castle, and later in the evening a Court-concert. The music was wonderfully beautiful, the performances being from the first singers of the land. And with this fete closed the celebrations of the golden wedding, which will not be soon forgotten by those who were permitted to take any share in the same. All over the city and land for these days was there rejoicing and plenty. Thousands of the poor were feasted at least for once in their lives to a generous and satisfying repast. All ranks seemed to 1879. 63 Berlin accounts of the wedding festivities. William yon Humboldt praises the grace and accomplishments and talents of tbe young bride, Berlin is en fete, for days, quiet, old-fashioned Berlin, of fifty years ago, so different from the brilliant Imperial capital of to-day. Two children came to brighten the princely home, who in the fulness of their noble and beautiful manhood and womanhood, were conspicious above all others, on the late Golden Wedding day, the crown Prince of Germany, and the Grand Duchess of Baden. As Prince William, as Prince of Prussia, crown Prince, Prince Regent, King, and Emperor, has Wilhelm Ist, in a brave, loyal, and royal manner borne himself, meeting with an undaunted energy and will, the greatest difficulties. It is scarcely possible to realize amid the present almost idolatrous devotion of the German people, that the present Emperor, was forced as Prince, in the dark and stormy days of 1848, to take refuge at the friendly court of of England from the threatened attacks of the Berlin populace. Over no triumphal way strewn with roses has he walked to his present throne, but to use the words of his great chancellor and friend amid the testing experiences of " battles of blood and iron!" There was the Danish war, then the marvelous victories of 1866, with the triumph at Koniggratz, and like a memory of yesterday, do we recall the history of those eventful years 1870 and 1871, beginning with the insult of Benedetti on the promenade at Ems, and culminating in the triumphal proclamation of the King of Prussia as Emperor of Germany in the " Salle dcs Glares " at VerA RETROSPECTION. sailles !

My time will scarcely permit of my mentioning them, but I would say, en passant, that 1 think none will prove more interesting than the beautiful and unique present from His Majesty King Kalakaiia to the Empress, which has just arrived in safety from Honolulu, and will be presented this week to her Imperial and Royal Majesty. Those who have been privileged to see it here, express most warmly their admiration, and their astonishment at the exquisite and artistic workmanship which is displayed in the same. A most graceful and appropriate Royal aloha does it bring from Hawaii to Germany. In closing this brief sketch of this most interesting anniversary, I know that I am expressing the feeling of all thoughtful men and women in this land, when I say that it has been a festival full of blessing and rich promise for this great country. The nation has been brought renewed ly together, noble and generous, charitable and philanthropic sentiments have been aroused, and I would fondly hope that the memory of these days of joy and thanksgiving celebrated in the golden radiance of summer in this month of blooming roses, may ever hereafter rise as a lasting barrier betweeff all former memories of national unrest and discontent.

In Nord Hausen a wealthy b.tnker, impelled by the wave of charity which Ims at this time swept over Germany, had given a large sum to found a house for the aged. He had intended it to be kept a secret, but a relative discovering his purpose in a spirit of emulation insisted in giving a tract of land, in order, as he said that his brother-in-law's undenaking might "rest upon a good basis.! " And yet there are pessimists in our days who think the world is quite hopelessly wrong and selfish ! Would it not be well for us all to rejoice that there is so much that is grand and beautiful in the charity and humanity of our century. ! A FEW WORDS IN CLOSING. I have lately through the kind courtesy of my esteemed friend, Dr. Rodenberg, editor of the " Rundschan," been permitted to see the proof-sheets of an article entitled " The Hawaiian Islands," which will appear in that valuable magazine on the Ist of July. It is from the journal of Dr. Ernst Boehr, who was attached to the Imperial German Corvette Arcona, during her visit to Honolulu in 1875. It is an article written in a most kindly and highly enthusiastic tone. The writer recalls most vividly the memories of his visit there and alludes in the most glowing terms to the cordial hospitality which he experienced, in Honolulu He s.iys that in his jouruey round the world he no where found a more refined and educated society than in our capital. He revels in the beauty of this little Island city and finds there in combination .with a charming natural Paradise, a well organized "political Utopia," all of which is very pleasant for me, to hear in this far land cherishing as I do very lovingly and fondly, my Island birth-right. Dr. Boehr refers especially to the kindness of our genial and musical townsman, Dr. Hoffmann, and to the generous hospitality of our German Consul, Mr. Glade and his charming lady. Berlin is nt present rejoicing in a most successful Industrial Exposition of which I may take occasion to write you hereafter. The German Parliament will probnbly soon close its session which has been a long and important one. The Treaty between Geriimny and Samoa has been concluded. The Pacific is attracting more and more the attention of Europe and should the Panama ranal be in a few years completed we may hope for errand things for our ocean. My imagination is busy already erecting castles, whose foundations rest on the different islands in the Pacific, and 1 read new meanings in Seward's prophecy, which I see still heads the Friend. It gives me a thrill of pleasure here to know that there is so much of life and vitality still in our Islands.

Town of Lancaster, Mass Ily Rev. A. P. Marvin. Published by tbe Town. 1879. History of tub Town histories are among the most popular books of New England. This is no exception. It is a large octavo volume of 800 pages. Lancaster was among the very earliest settled interior towns of Massachusetts, even as early as 1643, only about twenty years after the landing of the Pilgrims. Its history embraces facts of deep interest, including the story of the Indian Massacre, by Mrs. Rowlandsnn, wife of the first Minister. She was among the captives. The author, Mr. Marvin, deserves much credit for the skillful manner in which he has interwoven events relating to the aborigines, early settlers, and the history of the town for more than two and a quarter centuries. In glancing over the pages of this volume, we are pleased and somewhat surprised to find names the same as those of several resident families of Honolulu. Not only in Honolulu, but in Lancaster—the Wilders, the Carters, the Athertons, the Damons, are neighbors, and it is no difficult genealogical Aid historical task to trace out connecting lines of relationship between old families of Lancaster and the foreign resident families of Honolulu. Our Island Youth Abroad. It always affords us much pleasure to make mention of the off-shoots of the American missionaries on the Islands, hence, we take special delight in noting the graduation of John Dielle Blanton, Valedictorian, at Hampden and Sidney College in Virginia. Young Dielle, is a son of Eliza, daughter of the Rev. John Dielle, first Chaplain in Honolulu. Miss Dielle married a gentleman in Virginia. This youth was fitted for the Sophomore Class by his mother, except in Greek, there being no good schools in that part of Virginia, where they resided. He is expected to study for the ministry, after teaching a few years. We copy as follows from the Farmville Journal, giving an account of the commencement exercises: " The Valedictory was delivered by Mr. John Dielle Blanton of Cumberland Co., who had taken the First Honor." In a recent No. of the Oberlin Weekly News, we find the following paragraph, relating to Henry M. Castle, the youngest son of the Hon. S. N. Castle, "Mr. Castle delivered a genuine oratoion, characterizing the late Chinese Bill in strong condemnatory terms. He was loudly applauded." We are pleased to learn that our neighbor Mr. Castle, has gratified his four children, James B, Carrie D, Helen X, and Henry M, pnrsuing their studies in the U. S., with a summer excursion to Europe, to be absent about 80 days. They sailed from New York on the 29th of June, with the party under Mr. Touejer's superintendence. They are expected to visit England, France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Most heartily we congratulate the young people, and trust they may return in safety, to renew their studies with zest, ambition and success. Vice Admiral James C. Provost—Some months since we published a letter from Admiral Prevost. It appears that after going to England he has returned again to the Pacific Coast to look after the Mission on Vancouver's Island, in which he feels a deep interest. Through his influence and planning, Mr. William Duncan was induced, over twenty years ago, to establish a Mission there, which has been remarkably successful. The Admiral thus writes us from San FranI only cisco, under date of June 17th : desire to do the Lord's work, and I believe 1 am doing it by re-visiting the Christian settlement of Metlaketla, where a faithful and courageous follower of our Lord Jesus has been permitted to do a great work among the Indians on the North Pacific Coast. Our " Society—the Church Missionary—has lately Missionary Bishop to those parts, and I am anxious to be present when he arrives, which may be about the end of August. The Bishop of Columbia has divided his Diocese into three portions —Vancouver's Island, Caledonia and New Westminister." Our present limits will not allow a full statement respecting this Mission, but we hope, in our next issue, to give the history and progress of the enterprise. sent a Wilder Family, in Old and New England.—The Hon. M. P. Wilder, President of the N. E. Historic, Geneological Society, in his Address at the Annual Meeting, Jan. 1, 1879,remarks as follows: "I would state that until recently 1 had made no thorough research in regard to my own ancestry beyond the landing of Mrs. Martha Wilder at Hingham, in 1638; but I am now enabled, in the Book of Wilders, just published by the Rev. Moses H. Wilder, our corresponding member, to trace my genealogy directly back nearly four hundred years, to Nicholas Wilder, a military chieftain, who fought in the famous battle of Bosworth under the Earl of Richmond, afterwards king Henry VII, and to whom that monarch gave, as a token of favor, a landed estate and a coat-of-arms, which are still in possession of the Wilders in the County of Berks, England, the present rector of Sulham, the Rev. John Wilder, D. D., being the fourth of this line who has sustained that office. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, Gough in England.—In one of his late addresses in England, Mr. Gough, the Apostle of Temperance, referred to his early life and to the fact that he was a book-binder, and worked at his trade in Worcester, Mass., in 1842. During the previous year, 1841, we were often in Worcester, and distinctly remember having a certain book bound that we now have in our library ! Mr. Gough was tbe binder, because when on our visit to the United States in 1869, we listened to an address of Mr. Gough's, and was introduced to him as coming from the Sandwich Islands, when he replied : "It was for you that I bound a book in 1841, and I heard that you went to Honolulu as a missionary." We merely add, that Mr. Gough is not only a most eloquent orator, but an excellent " book-binder." Lookout for Your Postage.—By mail letters are received marked ■ short postage,' and which would not have been received, but for the generosity of a certain official attached to the New York City Post-office. One of our American correspondents thus writes us : " Yesterday 1 had the disappointment of having my letter to you returned from the " Dead Letter Office." 1 took it to the office where it had been mailed and found the postage all right, but after passing the Boston Post-office, it was intercepted at the New York Office. It barely tipped the beam, and I am informed that the New York Office will not allow a foreign letter to pass if it raises the beam in the least degree, wlten the letter is thrown upon the scale."

"It was all Drink."—By the late decision of the Supreme Court and a Jury, the sailor John Brown, who was found guilty of killing his shipmate in a drunken encounter, has been sentenced to be hung in the month of November. We are glad to learn that the Jury, while condemning him as guilty of murder in the first degree,recommended the unfortunate man to mercy. We are also glad to learn that a petition is circulating in the prisoner's behalf, who asserts that he had no malice against his shipmate, and did not premeditate the deed, but that it was deed, purely the effects of " drink," or as the poor fellow expressed it, when asked how he came "it was all to kill his shipmate, was a case similar to that of the drink." It his friend who killed some years Spaniard Ewa, who is now near and serving out ago, his long term of imprisonment commuted in the place of hanging. Cases of this nature show the base and degrading habit of strong drink. But why, the question may lie asked, are such men any more guilty thnn other notorious drunkards, who destroy their reason and by the use of strong drink, madden their brain ? We do not know that they are, hence is not every drunkard, for the time being a moral monster, who is liable to commit crimes, which consign the perpetrators to the gallows ? This whSle matter of making, selling and drinking intoxicating liquors is fraught with guilt, degradation and misery. Those carrying on the traffic come in for their share of the guilt. We fully believe the time is coming, when making and selling intoxicating liquors, if allowed to go on, will be viewed as the very basest, vilest and guiltiest of all human employments. We think, however, that public sentiment will not allow the manufacture and sale to be carried on. The statistics of pauperism, vagrancy, crime and other evils, stamp this whole subject with the severest condemnation.

Would it not be well to convene the leading and prominent Chinese merchants of Honolulu, and let the subject be fairly discussed ? Does not the magnitude of the subject demand the appointment of a Minister Plenipotentiary who shall visit China and confer with the authorities? If the Hawaiian Government supports a Minister at Washington, ought it not also, to support a Minister or Consul-General at Pekin ? Hawaiian affairs are as deeply involved in what passes in China, as what passes in America? The California watchword may be " The Chinese must go," but that of Hawaii is, " The Chinese must come," to work our cane and rice fields. Now let us treat them fairly, and do all in our power to introduce Chinese families, and diffuse among them Christianity. U. S. Consul.—We welcome with pleasure, the Hon. J. M. Morton, as U. S.

RAMBLES INTHE OLDWORLD-No. 30 A Few Weeks In SeandinaviaNo. 9. OVER THE FILLE FJELD ON FO9T ! As I had tried nearly every otber mode of travel, I was determined to do a little pedestrianism in Norway; and the ascent of the Fille Fjeld on foot was a great temptation, and one to which I yielded, and though it was a long climb I shall never regret it. I never thought of being lonely, the mountains and water-falls kept me company all the way. My attention was first attracted by a great stone which stood by the way-side, covered with quaint runic inscriptions and twisted carvings. It was placed near the entrance to a little church-yard,and the contrast between this sign of the olden time and the Christian church was very sinking. Occasionally I passed little settlements, a few houses grouped together, the roofs, sometimes quite covered with turfand moss. Skulls of bears and spreading deer antlers were now and then to be seen nailed to the walls. At one of the stations where I halted for a little time early in the day, I saw some of the furniture which the peasants take pleasure in painting and ornamenting during the long winter evenings. It is a favorite present from parents to children, and is cherished with care and reverence long after those who have fashioned it are gone. Some of the designs in fruit and flowers are quite artistic. The day was, to me, a most impressive one, being quite alone, I felt brought strangely near to the wonderful, natural world about me. For miles the road lay through splendid valleys formed by lofty mountains, whose sides were adorned with a succession of water-falls, sometimes so light and graceful that they seemed to cling for a moment like a silver veil caught on the cliff, and then borne away by the wind. The valleys were fairly alive with the music of the falls. 1 scarcely lost the murmur of one before that of another broke upon my ear, till my way seemed attended by the music of some mighty harp, from whose silver strings wailed and murmured an infinite melody. Ever higher and higher, sometimes the way formed a zigzag of ascent, and then swept through a spacious and open plain. Nearly all signs of vegetation disappeared. The snow lay in scattered patches on the bleak mountain sides. Far up on �54 THE FRIEND, JULY. the mountain summit 1 found a strange little settlement.

Rough walls of stone supporting roofs of turf. Just out ofcuriosity, I turned 1879. entirely of wood, and ornamented with the most grotesque and unearthly carvings which run up its sides and on to the steep roof, meeting in sharp saw-like edges at the top. The entrance is finished in intricately carved arabesques and rounded pillars. Notwithstanding that it was a Christian temple, and cruciforfe, there was a wild heathenish something about the structure which impressed me strangely. I made me a couch in the summer grass before the door, and with the drifting clouds over my head, and the murmur of the river floating up to me, tried in the shadow of the sombre portal to make acquaintance with this weird little church. There are two old runes on the western portal which hands now long folded quietly away, wrote for us. I give them for the quaint language—'• porir raist runur pixsar pan olau mixso,"—and another, Pittai kirkia a kiekinvilli. All along the wild romantic way on which I journeyed during the day, my thoughts reverted to the little church in the valley, as if a spell of enchantment had been laid on them. But the royal dinner my hostess at Husum spread out before me was more than enough to dispel all the spectres of the morning. The rest of the journey to the Fjord was accomplished in a little carriole, a method of travel peculiar to Norway. These carrioles, or Skyds, are light little breaks, with two huge wheels, and just room enough for one person. They are owned at the different stations, which lie along the route. You take them irom one station to another, and then they are driven back by the little boy who accompanies you. It was a rare afternoon. Our way lay through wild rocky mountain gorges, which gradually gave way to a grand and stately valley lying between splendid mountains, aside from the road to look at one, and in this dingy little interior, to my great surprise, I found a bevy of rosy-cheeked Norwegian maidens, hardy and strong as this wild life could make them, seated about the huge stone fire-place, busily knitting and making the air ring with their merriment. There was something indescribably pleasant in this glimpse of rosy, happy humanity in the infinite loneliness and almost weird dreariness of the landscape. All through the afternoon a storm had been creeping after me, and with the coming- of the twilight the rain came in torrents from the clouds. Onward, onward I was forced to walk, beginning to long for the pleasant " station " which 1 knew was awaiting me in the valley below. The snow patches gleamed ghostly through the gathering gloom; the wind moaned sadly down from the mountains; the rain fell pitilessly. The wild spirits of the old Norwegian myths seemed to take form in the sullen, darkening clouds. Soon the white, withered moss gave way to stunted shrubs, then scattered trees, and then splendid avenues of forest-growths, fragrant with moisture, bending over the road. Then far ofF down the dusky vista a wavering gleam, growing brighter and brighter, till it settled into a warm and welcoming glow of yellow light, out of which looked kindly laces, and I knew I was at the little station of Hoeg, in the lovely valley of Borgund; and that my interesting journey over the grand summit of the Fille Fjeld was accom- reaching to the Sogne Fjord.

I caught glimpses of it coming land. Lest you should think me too enthudown the valley, and must confess at first siastic let me give you, in the words of this quaint, dark structure produced some- another a description of the journey from thing of an uncanny impression, cen- Landal to Gudvangen the route which our turies old and black with age. It is built steamer took on the first day. The scenery " — is grand beyond all conception, and never have 1 beheld in any other country sights that so impressed me with the awe-inspiring majesty of nature as did these on this journey. We left Saerdalsiiren at eight o'clock, and for four and a half hours were sailing down the sublime Fjord, this part of which is unquestionably the finest piece of Fjord scenery in Norway. We passed some thirty water-falls or cascades, tailing in an endless variety of graceful shapes from various altitudes down the enormous mountains which form the sides of this truly grand Fjord. These mountains rise almost perpendicular 4,000 or 5,000 feet high from the surface of the Fjord, which is the sea level. Their summits were crowned with snow and ice, and stood out sharp and clear against the bright blue sky, and their gigantic forms from base to peak stood deep reflected in the calm, clear fjord water, perfect as a mirror. At the junction of the Aurlands and Noeroens Fjords the scenery defies description. Here an amphitheatre of mighty mountains rises upwards of 4,000 feet sheer from the silent Fjord and the solemn grandeur which this sight imposes is quite overpowering. No storm can enter here; all is still as death ; even the water-falls which here present themselves appear to hang in silence all around. We could think of no place that would compare with this most wonderful sight. We thought of the lakes of Lucerne and Como, but they are weak in their impressiveness compared with this. The mountains and fjord wear a kind of sombre gloom which would depress were it not for their surpassing magnificence. Entering the right arm, or Noervens Fjord as it is called, the mountains increase in height and grandeur as the Fjord narrows up to Gudvangpn. Sunshine only reaches the water here when the sun is nearly vertical, in consequence of the great altitude of the mountain's sides, whose enormous shadows almost perpetually overshadow the narrow fjord. * The wonderful sights had gradually*worked up our feelings so as to produce a state of exciting adoration, such as I had never before experienced, when, just before arriving at Gudvangen the climax was reached. A solitary peak lifts its pointed head 1000 feet clear above the other mountains, and towering like a monarch over all, 5000 ieet in height, it seemed to touch the sky; and scarcely had our admiration of this wonderful sight broke foshi, ere the captain pointed on the opposite side of the Fjord to what appeared to be a strip of silvery fleecy cloud suspended from the mountain. This was the Keel Fos, which falls 2000 feet! "From Gudvangen out is a most interesting route to Hardanger Fjord, and then on to Bergen. The glorious glacier-fields and the beautiful Voring Fos, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in all Europe, and the ever romantic scenery of the coast attract many travelers to Hardanger. From Gudvangen our little steamer passed swiftly out into other winding arms of the Fjord. I was the only passenger, and found the captain a well-informed, agreeable young man, speaking some English. His home is in this region, and he knows every recess and inlet of Sogne. Not far away from Gudvangen, he related to me a tragical incident in the history of �THE FRIEND, JULY, the little settlement.

The rain was pouring in torrents, and yet le intense desire which I felt to visit the >eaiitiful Glacier lying up among the mists : the valley was more than sufficient to md a way out of the difficulty. I had the morning hours and the captain promised to gnal for me in time. Among the fishermen on the shore I found one willing to itce the rain and storm and drive me to the Jlacier. It was a wildly delightful ride, n all sides rose huge mountains with summits lost in grey and solemn banks of mist, oaring mountain torrents, showing tawny nd troubled waters beneath the tossing wreaths of creamy foam, dashed down irough the ravines and across our road, so that at times we seemed almost borne on their surface. At last we were forced to our horse and proceed on foot through c moist fragrant forest to the base of the glacier. The Suphellenbrace is exceedingly interesting, being one of the easiest of access in the world as it descends to about 159 feet above the level of the sea. Few are more strangely impressive than it which a glacier affords. I stood spellund before this glorious frozen-wonder, till my guide called to me to follow him in The storm of the attempting its morning had passed away and the ists had lifted so that the Glacier stood revealed in its splendor before us. From the green-valley where we stood, far of to summit of the mountain rose one enorious mass of ice and snow, glittering and lotionless. The Glacier has already descended some istance into the valley and is slowly, very lowly making its way to the sea. One is fforded here a rare-opportunity of studying «ive Efhts Crly !ie 55 1879. tions of the mass, numerous streams rushed forth into the valley, out of caves, so blue, so cold, so wonderously beautiful they seemed fit for the abode of enchanted spirits of the ice. The longer I gazed, the greater grew the glory of the scene. Never in my life had I seen such a marvelous blue as in these icefissures, and in the pinnacles and battlements which rose into the air. And then the infinite, almost painful stillness, in this desolation, this awfulness of certain irresistible destiny in the onward march of the glacier through the fertile, smiling valley, which no human power can hinder, which, in the darkness and light, through all the changing seasons, must go forward till the end is reached. I thought involuntarily of the great, desolate lava wastes on Hawaii, so strangely different in their sullen blackness to the terrible whiteness of this scene, and yet producing something of the same impression. By neither should I wish too long to stay. To see both is worth very much. All down the valley I kept glancing back through the forest at its white face, lying unmoved in its death likeness, and felt something as if a weight had fallen from me, as I stood once more among the warm-hearted fisher-folk upon the shore. As our little vessel steamed out of the Fjord the sun appeared in all its radiance, and the glaciers ol the valley lifted themselves triumphantly into view. A more splendid sight it would be difficult to conceive of. Among the passengers who had come on board the captain pointed to one who, years before, h»d lost his companion while exploring the icy mysteries of the glaciers, and whose body was never found. Ah ! the beautiful, pitiless glacier! ON THE SOGNE FJORD. Here 1 spent two or three rare days of my life. It was in the little village of Balholmen, close down by the water's edge. My host and hostess and the people about, were kind-hearted, delightful friends, desiring eagerly to show me every kindness in their power. The windows of my room opened upon the glorious tvaters of the Fjord, where the silver light of the moon, and the red of the dawn, are reflected as in a mirror. About us and before us rose stately mountains, and the shores were fresh and beautiful with full-leaved groves. The people of this district are busy workers. Life flows quietly on ; change comes seldom; and the din and confusion of the great world is kept away by the mountain barriers. They seem happy and contented. Near every village rises the spire of a little church, and rosycheeked boys and girls fill the school houses. It is a region poetic in the extreme —the region ola thousand Sngas—from which rises into especial prominence that of Frithyof and Ingeborg, which Tegner has so beautifully rehearsed in his exquisite poem. At another time I may give the out lines of this legendary story, as I read it while here amid the very scenes where the poem is laid, with great interest. Among the groves near where I was staying, tradition says, stood the temple of the God Balder, and opposite at Framnaes is a huge burial mound, where the peasants say the hero Fruhyof and Ingeborg are buried. The murmuring waves and whispering leaves had a thousand tales of the olden time to tell me. And I seemed to catch glimpses in the distance of shadowy companies passing through the groves; or as some near sail shot round the cliff", or swift oar cut the silver Fjord, I glanced up from my dreaming to give Frithyof welcome. The very air seemed filled with the spirits of the grand old Norwegian mythology, and 1 almost felt the presence of Balder, Odin and Thor I * * * But there is more than dreaming on the Sogne Fjord.—The last day of my stay, a Sabbath, near the middle of September, will always have a loving remembrance in my book of memories. As there was no service in the little village, but in the settlement of Framnaes, some miles across the Fjord, my host and his family invited me to row with them over the waters of the Fjord. We started early in the morning. The boat was rowed by bronzefaced Norwegians. It was a stormy passage, and the waves ran high; sharp gusts of wind sweeping down every now and then from the mountains and whitening the waters. We found friends waiting on the opposite shore to receive us, and went with them to the little while church on the hill-side. It was a most interesting sight. Many of the women wore their old-fashioned, picturesque costumes The white caps, with their spreading bands and full stiff borders, filled the church like snowy wings. High up in his pulpit stood the young curate, himself most interesting with his pale, intellectual face, rising from the white ecclesiastical bands and black draperies of his gown. At the close of the service there was a baptism, which was singularly touching, and then the young people placed themselves in two rows, running down the aisle, the girls on one side and the boys on the other, and the Pastor conducted the services in the Catechism. After the service we were entertained at dinner by friends, who spread before us a generous Norwegian repast. Seldom have 1 seen such delicacy of hospitality, such a thoughtfulness for the happiness of others as here, accompanied by a certain childlike simplicity, which is indescribably beautiful. As the afternoon waned, we found our boat waiting for us, and, bidding good-bye to our friends who had accompanied us to the pebbly-strand, and whose kindly wishes, "well over! well over!" came sweet and mellow through the twilight, we shot out over the waters of the Fjord. It was a delicious evening, which I shall not soon forget. From our company rose into the quiet air the sweet music of hymns, sung now all . �56 THE FRIEND, JULY. 1879. round the world, and which had an especial various departments, and in this way to gain tenderness amid these grand surroundings a general view, which will be of service in of towering mountains and dnrkening future visits.

By Matthew Simpson, D.D. L.L.D., Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. New York, 1879. We read some of these lectures as they appeared, when reported in the religious newspapers, and were much pleased with their sentiments. Mr. J. T. Waterhouse has kindly sent us from New York a volume containing all the lectures—ten in number. We have carefully read every one of the three hundred and thirty-six pages of the volume. Our admiration for the book increased, as we turned over page after page, to the close. The Bishop shows that he possesses a sanctified common sense, combined with a good theological training, which fits him to give sound advice to young men preparing for the christian ministry. We are surprised to find a " self-made Divine occupying the position of Bishop Simpson, so absolutely free from narrow views and sectarianism. With no apparent display of scholarship and learning- there is a dignified and broad-minded tone running through the whole course of Lectures, which leaves the most favorable impression up«n the reader's mind, and indicates that he is the peer of Beecher, Brooks, Hall and other lecturers, who have been invited to sppak at Vale, on the " Lyman-Beecher Lectureship." " The Land of the Pharaohs. By Key. Samuel Manning, L L.I). The Religious Tract Society, London. This beautifully illustrated volume introduces the reader to Egypt, and its perusal imparts a delight next to a visit to that oldest of all lands. This volume takes us back to that marvellous country, and again we ascend the Pyramid of Ghizeh, and wander through the streets of Cairo. The author. Dr. Manning, has published several books of this character, including one upon Palestine, entitled " Those Holy Fields." If possible let one visit those old countries, but if that cannot be accomplished, then by all means read such books, the titles of which we here mention. Rev. J. W. Smith, of Koloa, Kauai, thus writes under date of June 24th. "If there are 800 Chinese on this Island, it is our duty to do something to Christianize them." We are of the same opinion.

Oahu of the Examining Committee as published in the Gazette and Advertiser, bears the most favorable testimony to the prosperity of our highest seminary of learning. Most heartily we can endorse that testimonial havinc also been present at the examination. We do not imagine that our Island pupils abroad enjoy the advantage of any better teaching, than they would have had, had they remained on the Islands. One fact is patent, our pupils going abroad either to California or further East, are generally found fully up to the standard of scholarship with those pupils educated there. Now what we desire to see is the endowment of Oahu College, then its advantages will fully equal those of similar institutions in the Father Land. Good and rich people have endowed those seminaries of learning, and we confidently hope good and rich people, will erelong be found generously to increase thp endowment of Oahu College. Summary Report of Ladies' S. F. Society. Our Island Girls Abroad.—In years past, we have often referred to the high standard of scholarship attained by " our Island Boys," in the seminaries of learning of the United States. It affords us much gratification that our young lady-pupils abroad are not behind in their scholarship, when brought into competition with their fellow pupils of olden countries.

Mills' Seminary has acquired a high position as the best Female Seminary this side of the Rocky Mountains. Most heartily we congratulate the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Mills upon the success which has attended their effort in the cause of female education. One of the teachers, Miss Goulding is now visiting the Islands, and we learn that before the summer close, the Rev. Mr. Mills and another teacher may arrive.

Savior, abide with me ;" know Thou wilt not, canet not answer, No. " Endowment of Oahu College. some remarks which the Editor offered his sermon on " Home Evangelization," preached by request of H. E. Association, the endowment of Oahu College, found a place. The subject is one of cardinal importance to our Island community. We copy as follows: It is now nearly, if not quite a quarter of a century, since any steps have been taken effectually to increase the endowment of that institution, and to broaden the course of study there taught. To educate and evangelize a people you must have not only Sabbath Schools, Primary Schools and «In Boarding Schools for young children, but schools of a higher grade are needed. Oahu College has, during the last forty years done a good work, and God's blessing has rested upon the institution, but for the Home Evangelization and education of the rising generation, that institution needs a generous endowment. The President's position ought to be made, independent of tuition fees. One or two good Professorships ought to be speedily endowed. A Professorship of languages, including tbe modern languages, ought be established, and another Professorship of Natural History, including the Department of Chemistry. New buildings ought to be erected, and the whole establishment lifted up and made more potent for science, learning and Christianity. One hundred thousand dollars ought to be raised for buildings and Professorships. Such an advanced step would have a most important bearing upon the Home Evangelization of the Hawaiian Kingdom. It would correspond to similar efforts among the American people, in behalf of Harvard, Vale, Dartmouth, Amherst, and other institutions of learning. Some of our rich planters might well afford to endow a Professorship of Chemistry, as a pecuniary venture. Our men of wealth, our mer- JULY. 187 9. chants and planters, should realize, that the highest end of their lives, is not merely to enrich their families, and expend their acquired wealth, in material display. In no way could the Hawaiian and Chinese portions of our population, be more favorably impressed and elevated, than by seeing Americans and Europeans in our midst, coming noble forward and handsomely endowing some institution of learning of a decided Christian type and character. In this way, the gospel leaven would appear to be operative and potential. Our young people ought to be educated, highly educated, and this cannot be accomplished without the endowment of a Christian college. Oahu College made, what it ought to be made, would exert a most powerful influence upon all the other seminaries of learning throughout this kingdom, Micronesia and the world. Home Evangelization implies, not merely distributing tracts and preaching the Gospel in the streets, but a thorough infusion of Gospel ideas and principles into families, and all the avenues of trade and commerce. When the scheme of annexation was agitated, twenty and more years ago, and it was stipulated that the United States would pay one million of dollars and more, one-tenth part of this amount was to be devoted to the higher purposes of education, and Oahu College was to have been handsomely endowed. I have regretted that when Reciprocity was initiated and secured, in tome way, the cause of higher education, wns not to receive a generous portion of the duties remitted on sugar, and other island exports to the United States. One-tenth of the duties remitted during "these seven years of plenty," would have been a handsome contribution to the higher purposes of education. Something ought to be done. Fornander's Book Again. Dr. Gulick thus writes us from Yokohama, Japan, under date of April 22d : " Mr. Fornander's first volume has thrown much light on the past. Whether we accept or not his theory of the Aryan (and Cushite) origin of the Polynesians, 1 shall watch for his second volume with impa- tience." We received a note from Mr. Fornander a few days since, in which we find an allusion to the second volume, and some of our readers, we feel confident, will be much interested to learn that it is nearly ready for publication. If I can now have a month's uninterrupted "time to myself, 1 think I can finish the second volume. I mean to stop at the time of the conquest and consolidation of the islands under Kamehameha I„ at the battle of Nuu- anu, 1796, with perhaps a short reference to the cession of Kauai in 1809. The acces- sion to supreme power of Kamehameha 1. closes the old regime, the really ancient history of the Hawaiian people, with which alone I have been concerned. Since these new systems of government, new political relations, new social customs, new religious ideas have gradually, or "per saltum," worked themselves up to the surface, I think it as well, or rather better to commence the Hawaiian Modern History at the battle of Nuuanu, as at the arrival of Capt. Cook or the arrival of the missionaries, forty years later. The former prepared the way for the unification of the islands; the latter put the seal of Christianity on that unification; another border line between darkness and light, between the old and the new, may as well be drawn where 1 intend to draw it, as at any other intermediate period. Without unification these islands might to-day be what the Samoan and Marquesas still are; with unification they have become what they are, a marvel in history, a crown of glory to their civilizers, and a puzzle to the sceptics. With modern Hawaiian history, 1 do not think that I shall occupy myself. That is a matter of documentary evidence, to be gathered from book-stores and archives accessible to any diligent inquirer ; that is a question of the present, its diversified beginnings and its tortuous but ever upward development; a period of broad daylight, historically speaking, during which a careful and candid investigator cannot possibly go wrong. For my part, I have chosen to describe the past, whose only lights were the scattered stars of legend and myth. Let others bask in the. sunshine ; God's world is beautiful, even when seen by starlight."

Edited by a Committee of the T. M. C. A. Organization of the Chinese Church. The Honolulu Y. M. C. A. have been actively engaged for several years in carrying forward evangelistic work among the Chinese, it is with unfeigned delight that we are able to report that our efforts, combined with those of other Christian workers, have finally culminated in the organization of the firstChinese Church on the Hawaiian Islands. It is a marked and signal event in our religious history. Below we present the official Report of the Ecclesiastical Council which was convened on Sabbath afternoon, June Bth, for the organization of this Church : Honolulu, June Bth, 1879. Pursuant to letters missive an Ecclesiastical Council convened at the Lyceum, Sunday, June Bth, at 2 p. m., to consider the expediency of organizing a Chinese Church, as voted by the persons sending the letters missive ; and if thought advisable, to take part in public exercises appropriate to the organization of such church. Rev. S. C. Damon, D. D., read the letter missive. All the parties invited were present, as follows : From the Bethel Church, Rev. S. C. Damon, D. D., Pastor; Rev. S. E. Bishop, Delegate. Fort Street Church, Rev. W. Frear, Pastor; Brother J. B. Atherton, Delegate. Kawaiahao Church, Key. H. H. Parker, Pastor; Brother Lapaki, Delegate. Kauroakapili Church, Rev. M. Kuaea, Pastor; Deacon E. S. Kalauao, Delegate. Rev. H. Bingham, Secretary Hawaiian Board. Rev. C. M. Hyde, President North Pacific Mission institute. The Council was organized by the choice of Rev. Dr. Damon as Moderator, and Rev. Dr. Hyde as Scribe. The Moderator led in prayer. A list of those proposing to unite from other churches was shown, and their certificates of membership. Also, the names of those proposing to unite by profession of faith. The Council voted that they were so far satisfied with the proceedings that they would join in public services of recognition. Accordingly, as previously arranged, Rev. M. Kuaea led in prayer; the hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," was sung in Chinese and English; the names of those presenting certificates, and of those uniting on profession, were read, and the parties named arose in response; the Creed and Covenants were read; the six uniting by profession were baptized by Rev. Dr. Damon; an infant child, Charles Keai En, son of Joseph Yap Tin Scow, was baptized; Rev. Dr. Damon made a brief address; Rev. W. Frear led in prayer; and the exercises were closed by singing the hymn, " Rock of Ages," in Chinese and English; and the benediction was pronounced by the Moderator. The members of the new church were invited to attend the Communion with the 60 ChYHAMrsiooetucann'gf onolulu. An Extraordinary Sentence. The following extract is taken from a sentence recently pronounced by Judge Reading, of Morris, 111., upon the liquor dealers who had violated the law by selling liquor to minors : "By the law you may sell to men and women, ifthey will buy.

Nearly seven years having elapsed since some of the the last Bethel Fair, to ladies of the choir, proposed hold a fair for the purchase of new hymn and tune books, and other church purposes. The Bethel having always been sustained as a Free Chapel, its supporters are under the necessity of occasionally making an appeal of this nature. From the first, it was determined there should be no means employed, at which the most fastideous should take exception, and they feel that success has crowned their efforts.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 29 A Few Weeks in Seandinavia—No. 8. OVERLAND THROUGH NORWAY. I had said goodybye to my friends in Christiana, despatched by steamer to Hamburg everything in the way of luggage, which was not absolutely necessary and was ready for the journey. We steamed and whistled out of the city just as the good people were starting their work for the day. Beautiful city, may all the hopes your children cherish for you be more than realized, and may peace ever dwell with you ! Our way northward lay at first through quiet farming and forest lands. The cars were filled with country people. I noticed some fine old Norse faces. At the little settlement of Eidsvold, we caught our first glimpse of the beautiful lake of Mjosen, the largest of Norwegian Lakes, —a most beautiful sheet of water—some seventy or eighty miles in length. At the little wharf of Eidsvold we took passage on the steamer Oscar. Nothing could be more delightful than a few hours on the lake. Splendid mountains rise from the shores of the lake with extensive forests. At wide intervals are scattered little settlements, or a farm house in the midst of a clearing rises into view. It must be wild and bleak here in winter—the air of this early September day was fresh and cool, but in summer it cannot fail to be wholly charming. The waters of Lake Mjosen rose twenty feet and suddenly retreated again during the great earthquake at Lisbon, September Ist, 1775. One's attention is constantly called in different directions here to a little boat gliding swiftly over the waters from one point to another, now to a group of peasant children on the shore, or to a little church among tbe trees. At the little town of Hamar you notice the remains of an old church of the middle ages, a Basilica in the Roman style, picturesque in this Norwegian landscape. At Gjovik I leave the steamer which goes farther on to Lillehammer, where its passengers take the train for Trondjhem. Now really my overland journey has begun. I find on the shore a " Diligence" with a white canvas cover, in waiting, drawn by two horses, with a pleasant driver, and a spry little boy,one of those wonderful Norwe- �46 THK FRIEND, JUNE. gianboys, who are the bravest, brightest, boys in all the world, worth their weight in gold. As it was late in the season, there was only one passenger beside myself. Through the afternoon, through the twilight, and even after the stars came, we dashed onward and upward. My traveling companion proved to be a cultured young lawyer, graduate of the Christians University, a fine specimen of fresh young Norwegian manhood, while the fleet, sure footed little ponies trotted onwards, and the pines grew taller and thicker about us, we talked of the Norway of the past and present, and of the Norway of the future. We had come this evening as far as Odnaes, one of the first stations on the route. I had caught through the night the gleam of water far down in the shadows of the valley, and hoped in the morning for some glorious view. The " Inn" was warm, bright and comfortable, and I fell asleep, deliciously to the lullaby of the wind in the pines. Night spread its tent among the firs as we arrived, so that, as I said, I saw nothing but the silver gleam of water faraway like a star in the darkness. But |he faith which this distant quivering light awakened as to the hidden beauties of the region, has this morning been crowned with the fullest realization. It would seem almost as if one might thus awake to the enjoyment of a fuller, richer life after the lifting of the night shadow, which we call death. We see or think, we see broken lights in the gloom, we enter within the shadow, and before we are aware the mystery of a new and more glorious life is revealed to us. I found myself in a most beautiful region of mountain, forest and water, which the night and dusk had veiled from me on first arriving. Far below us, in the valley, the pale light of the previous evening had expanded into a lake of wonderful beauty, while before us rose mountains above mountains whose wooded sides we were to ascend with the sun which was now peering above the pines. I felt as if the gates of the Northland had been opened very wide to give me welcome, and in the stillness of the early dawn, touched by the grandeur and tender loveliness of the scene, so unexpectedly spread out before me 1 thought it were fitting for one to enter with bowed head and reverent heart within this splendid portal. Travel on the route which I have chosen, (the overland route from Christian ia to Bergen over the " Fille Fjeld,") is delightful and comparatively easy. All along the way lie comfortable stations or way-side-inns, where travelers are well and generously cared for. I was, as it seemed, almost the last one of the season. Hence I traveled with the greatest comfort, no crowding in the Diligence, mine host, always waiting to give me welcome, with a smile as broad and greeting as hearty, as he would have had for twenty in mid-summer. On this particular morning, I decided to remain true to my choice of the previous day, and continue in the Diligence which was now ready. This vehicle is most comfortable, goes swiftly, and surely and is, 1 think, the best way of traveling in Norway and I have tried, I believe, almost every thing, except riding behind rein- 1879. The brisk little ponies, were trotting fleetly on through the valley, in the cool fresh early autumn morning. On the box sat a bright eyed little Norwegian boy, and I as sole possessor within the stage. For all the early hours of the morning, I watched the struggle of the sun and the heavy masses of grey cloud for mastery, and was at last reluctantly compelled to see the victory of the latter over the brightness of the day. Still there seemed a singular harmony between the sombre over arching sky and the strangely solemn forests and the lofty mountains. Our way was ever upward, winding through lofty forests of pine, over foaming roaring mountain streams, the view growing with every advancing mile more and more impressive. I was especially delighted with the splendid valleys which parted the moun- deer. soon tains. As the Diligence halted now and then far up on the mountains, 1 had rare opportunities of studying this especially beautiful feature of Norwegian scenery. Lofty mountains, mantled with evergreen forests hemmed in and encircled the fertile low-lying lands, through which a silver stream wound its glittering way. In the enrly part of the route, we passed sometimes little picturesque farm houses, but as we advanced higher among the mountains, even these disappeared, now and then some traveler or peasant on foot or in the little " carnole,"that peculiar feature of Norwegian travel passed us, and nlways with a pleasant word of greeting. Often the air was rendered musical by the tinkle of the bells of the cattle, which were being driven down from the uplands into the valley, before the winter snows began. Far upamong the stunted pines we found a great roomy hotel, where invalids or others in search of pure clear air can have it in abundance. At noon our Dilijjence drove up to the very comfortable station of Frydenlund, where the bountiful dinner of mountain trout was not unwelcome to an appetite sharpened by the keen air of the mountains. After the wild and lonely grandeur of the mountain range we had passed, there was something especially restful and agreeable in the quiet and peace of the little village lying so contentedly in the warmth of the September sunshine. A little white spired church formed the centre about which the houses and gardens of the parish grouped themselves. Two or three waterfalls gleamed against the dark back ground of the opposite mountains. To north and south opened grandly a wide and spacious valley. Through the long afternoon our road lay through this valley, passing one beautiful lake after another, the scenery growing more and more picturesque until as we again beto ascend higher among the mountains, felt as if my anticipations were more than realized. As tqe night began to gather, great drops ofrain began to fall, the canvascover of the stage was ample protection against the storm as we dashed onward through the darkness. Very pleasant however was the cheery gleam of light which came with the opening of the door at the comfortable station at Tune, and the even more cheery greeting of the dear gray-haired old host, who brought me in to the warmth. rin of his home, rather more as a returning son than as a stranger. A SABBATH ON THE SHORES OF LAKE LILLE MJOSEN. Sweet Day, ao cool, ao calm, so bright " Tbe bridal of the earth and sky." Peculiarly appropriate seem these lines of rare old George Herbert to the peace and hush of this lovely Sabbath morning among the mountains. After the storm of last night the day has dawned, purified, sanctified, transfigured. The air is crystal clear, and the heavens are spread above us like a glorious canopy, supported by the " everlasting hills." My host brought me early this morning out on to a little spot of rising ground, near the house/commanding a rare view, I could scarcely suppress a cry of delight and surprise, so glorious was the scene. We were thousands of feet above the sea, and thousands of feet above us towered other heights. Every sign of the grand forests of yesterday had disappeared, only low lying shrubs and grassy slopes showed that we were still in a world of verdant-life. Before us lay the glorious bosom of Lille Mjosen, the loveliest lake in Norway. From the water's edge rose superb, snow-capped mountians of granite, to the infinite vault of the bending sky—Oh, it was the sight of a life-time, one of those culminating points in a traveler's experience, when it would seem as if, having passed through the trial, and difficulties of the wilderness-way, he was given fjltmpsW of the promised land. If there is such a thing as worship in nature, it would seem this morning as if the very hills and heavens bowed in praj%r. The hush and repose encircled-enfolded-you-like a garment. Involuntarily the words of Goethe's exquisite little poem come to me as if breathed through the air. alien Gipfeln " Ueber Ist Hub, In alien Wipfeln Spureet dv Kaiim einen Ilauch; l)ie -tugeleiu scliweigen in Waldo; Wane our, balde Ruhest da auob." Long winters, tryingand severe, and swiftly passing summers are the lot of the dwellers in this elevated region. The crops are scanty, and the people far from rich. To the south and in the valleys lie the more productive lands. Here just below us on the shore a little villiage with its church and parsonage. But to-day the clergyman is absent in another parish on the shore of the lake, so that there is no service here. From the other side of the lake come clear as bells on the evening air, the calls of the peasants resembling the jo-del in the valleys of the Tyrol. Before closing my letter I wish to allude to a most tragic event in Norwegian History, in connection with the fate of the brave Scottish Colonel George Sinclair. I regretted extremely that my chosen route of travel over the Fille Fjeld to Bergen, prevented me from visiting the monument erected to his memory, which lies on the route from Christiana to Throndhjem. It would have been to me a source of satisfaction thus to have linked the beautiful home--of the Sinclairs, among the wooded highlands of Kauai in the far �Pacific with this monument by the wayside in the heart of Norway. Very pleasant was it for me, however, to feel that so near me lay a reminder of the family who still live to honor the name so honored in .history. Often as I listened to the solemn music of the Norwegian pines, my thoughts reverted the days, so full of rest and inspiration, which I spent far up among the ferns and forests of the loveliest of our Islands, where after their ocean journey, these modern Argonauts of the Pacific, have made their home and found, I trust, the "Golden Fleece " they sought. In Christiania, I saw to several historical paintings, illustrative of the valiant struggle and fate of Colonel Sinclair; so that those stirring events were often and vividly in my thoughts. 1 give a brief account of the same as found in Laing's Norway, which may prove interesting to some. is a square, un" Theslabmonument hewn, stone with the following inscription marking the spot where Coi. Sinclair was buried. Her blev Skotterncs Anferer Georg Sinclair begraven efterat han var faldeii ved Kringelen den 26 August 1612. Translation—Here was buried George Sinclair, the leader of the Scotch, after having fallen at Kringelen on the 26th August, 1612. During the war between Christian IV of Denmark and Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, a body of Scotch troops had been raised for the service ofSweden. The Danes were at that time in possession of Gottenburg; and from Calmar in the Baltic to the North Cape, the whole coast was occupied by the subjects of Christian IV. The Scotch, therefore, decided on the bold plan of landing in Norway, and fighting their way across to Sweden. A portion .landed at Throndhjem, and the rest, 900 strong, commanded by Col. George Sinclair, landed in Komsdalen, Irom whence they marched toward this valley, ravaging the country on their way. At Kringelen an ambush was prepared by about 300 peasants; huge quantities of rock, stones, and trees were collected on the mountain, and so placed that all could at once be launched upon the road beneath. Every thing was done to lull the Scotch into security, and with perfect success. When they arrived beneath the awful avalanche prepar- ed for them, all was sent adrift from above, and the majority of the Scotch were crushed to death, or swept into the river and drowned; the peasants then rushed down upon the wounded and stragglers, and despatched them. Of the whole force only two of the Scotch are said to have survived. Sinclair's lady is said to have accompanied him, and it is added that a youth, who meant to join the peasants in the attack was prevented by a young lady, to whom he was to be married next day. She, on hearing that one of her own sex was with the Scotch, sent her lover to her protection; Mrs. Sinclair, mistaking his object, shot him dead, and then herself shared the sad fate of her compan- ions." Frank W. Damon. Berlin, April 9th, 1879. P. S.—Since writing you last week, we have all been pained and surprised by the sudden death of Prince Waldemar, the youngest son of the Crown Prince. The first announcement which the city had in reference to it was the sight of all the Imperial flags at half-mast. The Prince was ill only two or three days, and nothing serious was apprehended until within a few hours of his death. He was a bright, pleasant, intelligent boy, and his loss is a terrible blow to his parents and grand-parents, and the greatest sympathy is felt in all ranks. The Diplomatic Corps, as is customary, went immediately to the Crown Prince's Palace and registered their names. Among others in the reception room, towering above every one else, I noticed Prince Bismarck. The Court is in mourning for two weeks. It seems as if the Royal Family were fated to pass through all extremes of- sorrow and gaiety. The parents of Prince Waldemar had just returned from the grand wedding iji England to assist at the festivities of the Emperor's birth-day, and in a day or two after they were in mourning for their son. The funeral services were very private. Strictly so here in the city; and in the FriedensKirche in Potsdam, only the highest officers, besides the Family, were present. The funeral procession as it passed down the Linden, was very impressive. It was between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. First came a detachment of mounted cuirassiers, then mourning coaches, then the coffin of the little Prince, on a low carriage, covered with white satin, with a cross in gold, and surrounded by men bearing great torches, which produced a strange effect. Then followed other coaches, in one of which were the Crown Prince and Princess, and Prince William, their oldest son. Then soldiers and out-riders. The coachmen, etc., had long crape scarfs, falling from their hats, after the English custom. There was no band. Trie utmost silence prevailed. And as the little procession passed down the Linden, I thought it one of the saddest, most impressive sights I had ever witnessed. The Crown Prince's family are all now in Wisbaden, wishing to be away, I presume, from the capital for a time. We are just now having the Easter Holidays. This is Easter Monday, and all the shops are closed, and all the people are having a holiday season. Easter and Christmas are great times here for merry-making, family re-unions, etc. Good Friday and Easter Sunday are observed very strictly. Every one goes to church, even those who never see the inside of a church the rest of the year. The throng at the Cathedral yesterday was something tremendous. It was impossible for me to reach the Diplomatic stairways were so " Loge," the aisles andwere forced to stand blocked that our party hemmed in the crowd, and listen thus to the lovely Easter music which the Cathedral choir render so beautifully. There are three holidays at Easter—Sunday, Easter Monday (when all the shops are closed) and to-morrow, when the mechanics, etc., have their day. This is a great time for German children. They have a custom here of hunting eggs. These are hidden in every imaginable place, and the children try to see how many they can find. The eggs are hard-boiled, and colored in all fanciful ways. Others are of chocolate, sugar, etc. Mrs E. gives a little party to-morrow for her children, and they are going to hide two hundred eggs. Very costly presents are given by ttie rich at this season. Eggs of all colors and sizes, in satin, porcelain, etc., 47 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1879. filled with bonbons. Berlin is a great city for amusements, anil just now, at this holiday season, everything is crowded, from the classical concerts to the little theatres and shows, where clowns and jokers amuse the people. The papers here have much to say about the Silver Wedding of the Emperor and Empress of Austria, which takes place this week. There will be, among other entertainments, a grand triumphal procession, directed by Mahart, one of the most famous of modern painters. The Golden Wedding of the German Emperor and Empress takes place in Berlin the 11th of June. The old tradition is, that no one of the House of Hohenzollern has lived to see his Golden Wedding, but this time I think the legend will prove false. Report says, the Emperors of Russia and Austria will be here, and the King of Italy. I have been much interested in looking over the Island papers, certainly there seems to be a new vitality among the people. The papers are full of accounts of new undertakings, telephones, steamers, railways, etc. I like the progress and enterprise which seems to be awakening. That the Chinese are to be an important element in the future development of the islands, seems to me inevitable, hence the great desirability of getting the best men at the start. I grow more and more interested in the members of the Chinese Embassy here. We are on the best of terms. The Charge d'Affaires, who is at the same time superintendent or head of the committee for the education of the Chinese in Europe, Is at present in England studying the educational system there. These Chinese are, I think, quite a puzzle to the Europeans. Take, for example, Major Tcheng-ki-tong, the Military Attache, a gentleman of remarkable refinement of manner and highly cultivated, well read in French. German and English, perfectly at home in the best society, member of one of the fashionable clubs of the city, and with all this, a gentle, quiet, unobtrusive, delightful man. His library is most carefully selected. He has just finished a communication for a Paris publication in the most perfect French. All this, you see, is a little different from the former idea which was entertained of the Chinese. J spent the other morning at the Embassy. The Chinese here have a most delightful villa. I enclose a note from Sannomya, the Japanese Secretary ot Legation, to whom I entrusted a letter for Mangero. I have just met him, and he says, within a day or two, he has learned that Mangero is still living in the north of Japan, and is occupying a govposition. I have recently had a very pleasant visit from the Rev. Mr. Dodge, who retains such bright and. pleasant memories of his Honolulu visit. He is just from Italy, on his way to America. Have also met Captain and Mrs. Samson, who spent several months on the islands, visiting the volcano, Ulupalakua, etc., and are never weary of talking about the islands. Their intention is to remain a few weeks in Berlin and then make the Scandinavian tour, which afforded me so much delight. F. W. D.

Letters, been received from our Hawaiian missionaries, not altogether favorable to those engaged in carrying forward this business. Sooner or later the whole subject will be up for discussion. We were glad to read the " leader" in the last week's Aelvertisvr respecting the coming of so many Chinese without their wives. The question arises what can be done to obviate the evil? Some months ago Mr. Aseu brought here a company of Chinese, accompanied by a larger proportion of females than any other company which ever arrived. It is noteworthy that these families were many of them Christians, who had been under the instruction of German missionaries. Could not the Hawaiian Government employ an agent in China who would dispatch hither Chinese laborers, accompanied by their wives ? we The Rev. A. Allerdyce, a Scottish clergyman, now visiting the Islands, has made the tour of Kauai. His family is in Honolulu. He has preached at the- Bethel and" Fort street, churches. In the number of the Christian' Union, for April 2nd, Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has some remarks, relating to Church Fairs, which are most timely, appropriate and suggestive. In conclusion she remarks We have just passed seven weeks of steady work for a fair. It was carried on " : honestly. " Many new friends were made who never will be forgotten; many old friendships were made brighter and stronger by the daily intercourse of seven weeks and the crowning success of the end. " No doubt there have been many fairs as successful and as free from any approach to the right and wrong means for securing success, but we doubt if there have been many which will have as fragment memories, which have been so free from unfair sales, so free from any heart-burnings and ill-temper. We believe we shall be the better, in our church relations, closer in our friendships, more ready to work together in every good cause; yea, cordially and heartily looking forward to, or seeking for, something to bring us all together again, ready for every good word and work. " If there was no greater good, resulting from a fair than bringing the congregration of our church into close and active sympathy with each other, and also with sister churches who are ready to co-operate in the work, it would have richly paid for all the trouble. And let it once be fully understood that the work will be so directed, that no element unworthy of an honest nature and a Christian character will be tolerated, it will not be long before they will be known and patronized by all as being a healthful and beneficial institution." left respectively, is ornamented with the insignia of the Order of the Red Eagle, surrounded by the motto, " sincere et constanter," and surmounted with a golden crown ; and the second, on each side, with a crossed scepter and sword, also golden and also surmounted with a golden crown.

He provokes a quarrel with one of his shipmates and as a result, he inflicts a fatal stab with a knife upon John Frederick, a Finnish sailor, a quiet and sober man, who was immediately taken to the Queen's Hospital, where he died Monday afternoon, —the sad victim of a murderous assault by one infuriated by rum. The guilty man has been confined to await his trial. By the last steamer for San Francisco His Majesty King Kalakaua forwarded a beautiful necklace, as a token of esteem and regard, to be presented to H. K. H.

Wilder & Co.'s new steamer which has been expeoted from San Francisco, arrived at this port on the afternoon of the 26th mst. Her arrival was the occasion of the gathering of a large number of people, both natlTe and foreign, on ihe wharf, and she was no sooner made fast than her decks were thronged by an eager, curious crowd, who seemed greatly interested in listening to any details of the trip down. The Lehua ■was built by Messrs. Dickey Bros., of San Franoisoo, and is 120 feet in length, 24 feet beam, is 219 tons burden, and has cabin accommodations for twenty persons. Her captain and officers speak in high terms of ber qualities as a good sea boat, while ber engineers assert tbat 10 knots oan be made. Her appearance on her arrival reflected credit upon her offioers, and they no doubt felt proud at the favorable comments made on tbe cleanliness and neatness whicli was everywhere notioeable. Tbe Lehua made the trip (rem port to port in 11 days and 22 hours, bringing a small cargo and two passengers. Following is a list of her present officers: Captain Geo. C. Beckley; Chief Officer A. M.

We copy the following from the May Missionary Herald: is not altogether strange that the Jap" It government anese is slow to give foreigners the right of residence when, according to present treaties, the premises occupied by foreigners are exempt from the operation of Japanese law. An illustration of the workings of this provision is seen in a recent case of an Englishman who was tried before the English consul for smuggling opium, and acquitted, though clearly guilty. His Japanese accomplice was tried by Japanese officials, and sentenced to imprisonment for ten years. The consul subsequently repeated the offense under aggravating circumSuch outrages would naturally stances. irritate the Japanese, and lead to acts of retaliation. It is reported that the British government has repudiated the act of its consul, and for the credit of the nation it is to be hoped that the report is true." Thus it appears that Japan as well as Hawaii makes opium smuggling a crime, punishable with imprisonment. We think the British government in the matter of forcing opium upon China might as well, for its credit before a civilized and Christian world, change its policy. The time may come when China will rise up in its might, and cast aside the unjust and iniquitous im- position. The American Consul in Siam has succeeded in inducing the King to establish a general system of education, with an American ex-missionary, Dr. McFarland, as Superintendent, with a salary of $5,000.

Edited liy a Committee of tbe Y. M. C, A. Address by thePresident C. H. Cooke, Esq. In looking over the records of this Association we find in them points to which we will direct our attention this evening. In April 1869 a few of the young men of Honolulu came together and formed a Society to be called the Young Men Christian Association of Honolulu. Therefore this evening is the Tenth Aniversary of this Association. Ten years is a large portion of a person's life after reaching maturity. One cannot help questioning whether ten years of good faithfull work has been done in this past decade. The preamble of our Constitution says : " We young men of Honolulu, feeling the need of an organization for Christian work in our midst do hereby form ourselves into an Association, the aim and object of which shell be the religious, moral and social improvement of ourselves and others." Article fifth of the By Laws reads as fol. lows : The duties of the committees which the Association may appoint, shallrelate to one or more of the following objects, public preaching, meetings of prayer, teaching in the Sabbath School or other schools, tract distribution, visiting the sick, destitute, and afflicted, the offering of hospitality to strangers, lectures, public readings, general leaching, libraries, reading rooms, the providing means for desirable amusement and recreation for young men &c. The Association took a broad field to cultivate, and with energy, activity and perseverance, a great deal should have been accomplished in the past ten yesrs. It is often said that the climate of these islands, has an enervating influence, I 'will not undertake to say, how much ought to have been done, and what haR not been done, can be debited to the climate—but 1 will say, that, without doubt, we have lost some golden opportunities, that will not return, shall we not think of this and try to profit by our failures in the past? But do not understand me to ignore, or depreciate what has been done. For though the Association has not been wide awake, it has managed to live, and accomplished some valuable work. The Chinese Sabbath School under its patronage, has continued to meet and has had an influence for good, bringing together those of the Chinese who wish to improve, and they do not learn merely the English language ; but they sing hymns and repeat together the Lord's prayer and other lessons in their own tongue. Let me here say, that the thanks of this Association are due to many of our friends who have so kindly assisted as teachers. I understand that the superintendent wbo has been so faithful for so many years, has resigned. The society will 1 suppose take up this subject and dc- cide whether they will carry on this branch of their work. The Reading room has been well supplied with papers and Magazines. Our Library has very few books in it, and is hardly worthy of the name. This reading room has not been all that it ought to have been. Still it has doubtless done good so far as it has done, shall it be given up or be improved ? Perhaps one benefit that has come from this branch of one work, has been to make the wnnt of a library and reading room so apparent, that a new society has arisen with great success to meet this necessity. Public preaching—there has been nothing of the kind attempted, since the meetings in the Circus tent several years ago. Meetings for prayer, for a time were conducted in the Lyceum Sabbath afternoons, for the last three months, the Association has maintained a meeting on Sabbath evenings, the hour previous to the Fort Street Church services. Our work for the Chinese is a good work ; and can hardly be overestimated. When the attention of this Association was first directed to this element of our community, there was nothing being done for their religious advancement. We have directed and become responsible for the support of a Chinese colporture for the past five years, who has not only labored with those of his race here in Honolulu but visited them on the other Islands. This branch of our work has grown, so that now Chinese preachers are being located in other districts of the Islands. The Chinamen of Honolulu have also formed a Y. M. C. A. of their own, who' talk of building a church lor themselves in the near future. The importance of Christian work among the Chinese is every day increasing, as they are oonstantly arriving on our shores, and because of the influence they will exert on the native race. This work and field is now so great and important, is it not a question, as well as our duty to request some stronger body, such as the Hawiian Board to assume its direction. If some branches of our work have become independent of us, we still have a large field left. There is a greater call now, than ever before, for work among the strangers of our own nationalities. There are many young men coming here, some for a little while, others to locate among us. They need to find here friends who will lead them upward. Those who lead downward are always on hand, shall we be less active than they ? Let us take pains to get acquainted with these strangers, and enlist then on the right side for their own good, as well as for the good of this nation. Kindness is appreciated by all classes and by none so much as by strangers in a strange- land. I cannot report on tract distribution or visiting of the sick and afflicted. The fact is, that many of the members of this association are engaged in various kinds of Christian work, not reported or credited to the Y. M. C. A. If good work is done by any of our members, it matters not to the cause, who gets the credit of it. Would not more be accomplished and with better results if there were more system in our efforts ? I hope some of the points alluded to will be called up for discussion, that we shall all interest ourselves and stand ready to take a share in this work. There is one thing that I feel quite sure you will do this new year, that is, you will display more wisdom in your choice of President. To Committee of Y. M. C. A. editing Bth page of the Friend—Dear sir : In your last issue you publish a letter from Rev. J. W. Smith, in which some reference is made to the late action of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association on the general subject of Chinese Evnngelization in these Islands. As it may be helpful to this good cause that Christian Planters and other friends of our Lord Jesus interested in the spiritual welfare of the Chinese in onr midst should know just what action the Hawaiian Board has token, and what the Board is prepared to do to nid them in this work, will you do the Board the favor to publish in full the report of their standing Committee on Home Evangelization, which was adopted by the Board on the 17th of December, 187S. It is as follows : "In view of the increasing numbers of the Chinese, and of the close relations that they are sustaining to the Hawaiians, it is the opinion of the Committee that this Board in its Home work, should hold itself ready to encourage and aid, according to its best judgment, such efforts for their evangelization as may meet its approval. The Committee consider that the Board should recognize this as a part of its Home Missionary work; and that it should be prepared to act and assume responsibility in reference to this part of our population, the same as in reference to any other." It has not been the policy of this Board to commission evangelists to labor among the Hawaiian churchps at the entire expense of the Board; but it has long been in the way of aiding such feeble churches in the support of ministers working among them as are dispised to do what they can for themselves; and it is equally disposed and ready to aid such Christian people in these islands as may be desirous of doing what they can for the evangelization of the Chinese in their employ or locality through the labors of approved Chinese Evangelists. It will be to the point to know that such laborers in the vineyard can be supported for about $30 a month. Let Christian people on Maui or Kauai or elsewhere in this group where provision has not already been made, see what they can do toward raising that amount, tnen state to the Committee on Home Missions what they have done, and how much assistance they still need from the Hawaiian Board, and I doubt not a cordial response will be made to such application.

Dr. Cuyler of Brooklyn, thus writes for the National 2'emperance Advocate for April: " A good work is going on in the Brooklyn Nnvy Yard among the " blue-jackets." Captain Gerhardi, of the United States frigate Colorado, is as zealous a teetotaler as the late Admiral Foote. A few evenings since he mustered a large crowd of sailors from the different Governmentvessels, and I have never addressed a more enthusiastic audience. A long procession of tars moved up to the table afterwards to sign the teetotal pledge. Mr. Thomas Williams, the preacher in the chapel for the Yard, is co-operating with Captain Gerhardi in this Temperance among movement." Ocean Telegraph.—Late Eastern papers contain full reports of the 25th anniversary meeting of laying the Atlantic Telegraph, held, at the residence of Cyrus W. Field in New York. From the report as published in the Boston Congreejationalist, we copy as follows: •' Mr. Field nnnounced that, on this very anniversary day, he had received from the King of the Sandwich Islands a concession, promised four years ago, for landing on those islands the cable that is to connect the United States with Japan. He also spoke with great enthusiasm of the recent improvement by which the company, a few days before, had been able for the first time to transmit despatches to and from England at the same instant through a single cable." E. Bailey, Esq.—A correspondent writes from Holden, Mass., that Mr. Bailey was there on the 23d of March, but would leave for Honolulu on the Ist of May, and hence may be expected in the next steamer.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 28 A Few Weeks in Seandinavia–No. 7. AT THE GATES OF THE NOItTH LAND. Though for some weeks I have been writing of my rambles in Scandinavia, speaking with enthusiasm of our entrance into a Northern world from the first moment we caught the gleam of the waves of the Baltic, yet now that our faces are turned towards Norway and we catch glimpses on the distant blue horizon of mountain peaks, I feel as if all the way we have before passed was as it were but a preparation for the real glory of the North land upon which we are now entering, i would here say that it is impossible for me to speak of Norway in other terms than those which enthusiasm prompts —an unaffected, loving, glowing enthusiasm. I feel also actuated by something of a missionary spirit in putting this feeling into words. Norway is still known but to a comparatively small portion of the traveling world, 1 may even say of the reading world. Much has been written of late in reference to Norway, and the world is just beginning to realize what a glorious treasure of natural beauty and inspiration it possesses in this land of grand mountains, glittering glaciers, winding, solemn fjords, splendid forests and waterfalls. Still, very few visit Norway in comparison with the thousands who journey yearly to Switzerland. We will not comp- are, however, these lands in point of gran- deur and beauty, for I feel almost as if it were a sacrilege to do so. They need no praise, no comparison. But Switzerland is known as are but few countries. Its mountains have been measured and its takes sounded, and with an almost amusing audacity modern engineering has enabled the somewhat blase traveling world of our century to scale heights and to gaze upon scenes (surrounded by all the appliances of civilized comfort) which were formerly visited only by the hardy mountaineer or swiftfooted chamois. Switzerland is growing too civilized ! But Norway is still fresh, wild, untamed—a world where each new-comer m»y become u discoverer.

The visit of the King of Norway re-built, flourishing town, with broad streets and Sweden with the Koyal Family, and a • • • " Congress of Jurists of Scandinavin, which is being held at this time, have filled the city with strangers and visitors. Nothing could have been more interesting to a traveler. I had reached Christiania just at the right time. As soon as it was possible, I had joined the great throng that was assembling at "Tivoli," the favorite summer resort and garden of the city, where a grand evening fete was to be given in honor of the King. The night was warm, mild and delicious— balmy and soft as in the tropics—and great, glorious stars lighted up the deep vault of the sky with a radiance such as it seemed to me I had scarcely ever before seen. The gardens were all aflame with torches and variously colored illuminations. The cafes were crowded with gentlemen and ladies, and thousands stood without. All Christiania had gathered here to see the King, who appears to be extremely popular. His arrival was announced by the music of the National .Anthem—the music being the same as that of the National Hymns of England, Germany nnd America. Seats were arranged for the Royal Party in the open air, in order that they might see to advantage the brilliant display of fire-works which were to constitute the amusement of the evening These were of the most gorgeous description, and blazed and glittered in a most royal way. The King Oscar 11. was present with his sons—a quiet, pleasant, dignified looking man. He is a grandson of Carl Johann, the French Marshal Bernadotte, and came to the throne in 1872, at the denth of his brother, Carl XV. He is a man of liberal education and culture, and has manifested a decided literary and poetic talent ss his brother before displayed very considerable artistic ability. The Norwegians are very fond of having him visit Christiania, though he lives the greater portion of ihe year in Sweden. The great throng were most loyal in their cheers. A brilliant arrangement of gas jets flamed through the night, forming the words, " Leve Kongen," Long Live the King. After the fire-works, the Royal Parly left the gardens and passed, with their invited guests, to the Palace on the hill, where a banquet closed the evening. Christiania is most beautifully situated at the head of the Christiania Fjord. The city was founded in 1624 by King Christian IV. on the site of a more ancient city, Osloe. This old city must have been extremely interesting. It contained the cathedral of St. Halyard, "then one of the richest in Europe." Here James VI. of Scotland and 1. cf England was married to Anne, of Denmark, sister of Christian IV. in 1589. Christian; IV. who founded the present city, named it Christiania, nfter himself. It has been the capital of Norway instead of Trondhjem, since Norway was united to Denmark. The present population is, if I am correctly informed, about 90,000. The city is growing in all directions. There are many fine pubs lie buildings. Here is the Royal Palace, the University of Norway, the Stoetbing or Parliament House, elc. 1 will give you one or two pages from my journal at this point: August 30th.— H called early this morning to act as my guide about the city.

You know the Norwegians are never more at home than when they are on the water. Then following the bend of the shore, every step bringing the beautiful Fjord more in view, we reach the Castle and Fortress of Akershus, from which we gain a most superb view. Here is one of the favorite promenades of the good people of Christiania, and the walks are crowded on Sundays between 12 and 2. From this height you see the Fjord with its numerous beautifully wooded islands, between which ships and steamers peacefully glide, coming from the stormy, troubled sea beyond. Across the blue bay, gleaming white in the midst of the luxuriance of summer foliage, can be seen on the mainland, the picturesque " Oscar's Halle," which " was originally built by the Norwegians and presented to King Oscar, but now belongs to the city of Christiania." Skirting the new and out-lying portions of the city, we reach the Palace, which stands at the head of the fine Carl Johann Gade, the principal street of the capital. The Palace is situated on rising ground, just above the city, and the view on all sides is something most beautiful. As the Royal Standard is flying, we know that there is no admission, and are content to wait in the delightful sunshine out-of-doors. The Palace itself is an extensive and imposing building, comparatively new. Just before the Palace is a splendid equestrian statue of Carl Johann, by the Norwegian sculptor, Brynjulf Bergslien.and erected by the Norwegian people who were devoted to this King, who loved them as his own race. In the rear and on the sides of the Palace are beautiful gardens and parks and lakes, where white swans lazily float. In the " place " before the Palnce, the Royal Band often plays; and this is one of the favorite gathering places of the city. Il is a delightful and inspiring scene here on a bright, summer day. Before you lies the beautiful Fjord, beyond the city the splendid hills and uplands, reaching away for miles; beautifully wooded and diversified by tiny villages and country houses. At your feet is the busy city, with its towers and spires— into the very heart of which leads the noble avenue of which I have spoken above. I scarcely know which city to admire most, Stockholm or Christiania—they will both amply, richly reward the visitor, and in so different a way, that if it is possible, I should advise every one to see them both. I scarcely tnow when I should have satisfied myself with gazing, had not my Norwegian friend come to me with a kind invitation to join some of his friends at dinner. I was welcomed in a bright, pleasant home, where flowers and home-brightness and the society of most agreeable Norwegian ladies made me feel indeed that I was most highly favored. I shall not soon forget the cordial hospitality which, beginning in this charming Christiania home, has welcomed me during all my stay in Norway; and which makes my memories of this land somewhat more "couleur dc rose" than they otherwise might have been In the afternoon ourdinner company had coffee together in one of the gardens of the city.

Notices have appeared in American papers that the position would be offered to Dr. Thompson, who now resides in Berlin, and in so many ways has served and honored his country. We understand if it had been offered him he would have positively declined, on account of the precarious state of his health. We rejoice that President Hayes has appointed a Minister so eminently fitted for this responsible and honorable position, as will appear from the following notice clipped from the Chicago Advance: " The Hon. Andrew D. White, who has been appointed Minister to Germany to succeed ihe late Bayard Taylor, is a native of Syracuse, N. V., his father being a wealthy and prominent resident of (hat city. His collegiate studies were begun at Hamilton College, where he spent a year, and finished at Vale in 1853, where he was graduated at the head of his class, and took first prize for scholarship and oratory. He then went to Europe, where he was for a time an attache to the American Legation at St. Petersburg, nnd where he laid the foundation of his present magnificent library. On his return he was elected to the chair of History in the Michigan University at Ann Arbor, which he accepted after declining a similar position ofTered him at Vale. Owing to ill health, Mr. White resigned in 1863, and spent six months in Europe. On returning to Syracuse he was chosen a State Senator, serving two terms at Albany. He met Mr. Ezra Cornell, founder of Cornell University, at Ithaca. When the University was organised in 1866 Mr. White became its President; an office he has held ever since. In 1871 he was one of the Commissioners to visit San Domingo. During the same year he presided over the Rpublican State Convention at Syracuse, and in 1876 he was a delegate-at-large from this State to the Convention which nomi- nated President Hayes." FRIEND, MV Y . 1879. Installation of the Governess of Hawaii. Her Excellency the Princess Likelike, who was recently commissioned by His Majesty as Governess of the Island of Hawaii, arrived at Hilo on the 10th instant on tbe steamer bearing Her Excellency's name, and was heartily received by the people. Tbe Governess was accompanied by her husband. the Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Mrs. Kapena, Mrs. Mailcai, and Capt. J. H. Boyd of Gov. Dominis' staff. Captain Thomas Spencer, U. S. Consular Agent at Hilo, conveyed the Governess and suite from the steamer to the shore in his barge, which was decorated with ferns and tlowers tor the occasion, and threw open hie house for Her Excellency's use; and at tbe landing the party was received by a committee of tbe people, under an arch ot evergreens. The church building, where Her Excellency met and addressed the people at large, was tilled to overflowins. The venerable missionary of Hilo, the Key. Titus Coan, opened the proceedings with prayer, after which His Excellency J. M. Kapeua read the itoyal Commission appointing the Princess to the office. Her Excellency then read in a clear and distinct voice, and with remarkable prepossession, the following address : Loyal Hawaiians:—lt hat* pleased His Majesty the King, our Gracious and well-beloved Sovereign, to confer upon me, the appointment of Governess of this, the largest Island of our group, the cradleof our chiefs, at whose breast the kings am! noble families of this nation have been nourished. It has not been unusual for you to ho under a Governt'NH, may venerable cousin Her Highness. Hutu Keelikolani occupied this position for a number of years,and I trust that my official acts and my intercourse with you will be such as to commend me to your acceptability, as was the case with the honored chiefess before me. On entering upon the duties of this offlce, permit me to assure you of ruy sentiments of sincere sorrow and regret on the demise of your late Governor. I havereceived the appointment of Governess of Hawaii, with no small degree of satisfaction, not merely hecause here was the. ancestral home of my forefathers, but mainly because it Is my earnest desire to join together with you in the advancement of every good work which shall have for its object the progress and prosperity of all. On the accession of His Majesty to the Throne of Hawaii, he expressed his ardent desire that the people nf our land might increase and prosper. But these good wishes of our King cannot be accomplished, even by a wise admin istration of tho affairs of our Government, unless we all heartily assist in the good work by strictly observing the laws of health and by carefully attending on our children. During the past few years, we have witnessed the beginning here of an era of prosperity in therapid increase of important agricultural industries, whereby our hitherto waste lands are becoming utilized, and affording flattering prospects for the future. I trust we shall all industriously improve the opportunities thusafforded for our material progress, and while living In peace and order, under our wholesome laws, provide for ourselves and families comfortable and happy homes. People of Hawaii: In conclusion allow me to assure you of my respectful regard and sincerealoha toWTinis you. I pray Almighty God to bless and keep you: that He, will smile upon our industries, and that He will be graciously pleased to grant long life to our Sovereign Lord the King. The reading of the address was listened to with and elicited frequent expressions of Bishop marked interest, applause, and at the conclusion there hearty cheers of Exeter (says the N. Y.

But I have found nowhere a greater stimulus to study and thorough preparation. The people are very intelligent, and well up with the times. Private libraries are large, and of the best books. There are several good classical scholars in my congregation. All the leading newspapers, magazines and quarterlies are taken, from the " North American " and Bibliotheca " down. I never, in any place, had so large an access to the best current periodicals as here. There are two good pastors' libraries in my parish, besides private: that of the Rev. J. S. Green, the venerable missionary recently deceased, and that of Rev. J. M. Alexander, formerly of San Leandro, a choice man and a most helpful ministerial brother—compelled by ill health to leave temporarily the ministry. Then, all these islands feel, in the direction of intelligence and piety, the spirit and influence of the old missionaries, a few of whom yet linger—Rev. W. P. Alexander and Dr. Baldwin, 'venerable and lovely men, whose labors have been espec- ially associated with Maui." A Missionary's Monument.—The late Dr. John Geddie, being then the minister of Cavendish, in Prince Edward Island, gave himself to missionary work in the South Seas in 1846. He reached Aneityum in the middle of 1848. For some years he and his family endured many trials and hardships on that heathen island. In 1852 he formed his first church in the New Hebrides. A few years later, through his efforts and those of his fellow-laborer, Mr. Inglis, the whole of the population, numbering 3500, was professedly Christian. In 1863, by their united efforts, the Aneitumese were supplied with the complete New Testament. Dr. Geddie continued to labor on Aneityum, making frequent visits to the other islands, until June 1872, when he had a stroke of paralysis. He retired to Geelong, near Melbourne, where he died on the 14th of December, 1872. Quite recently a marble tablet to his memory was placed in the wall of the chapel where he had so often preached in Aneityum, and on it are these words, worthy of being printed in letters of goW : " WHEN HE CAME HERE, THERE WERE NO CHRISTIANS ; WHEN HE WENT AWAY, THERE WERE NO HEATHEN." —N. Y. Observer, Feb. 6, 1879. Reading the foreeoing notice of the Rev. Mr. Geddie's missionary labors reminds us of his visit to Honolulu in 1847, when making his circuitous voyage from Nova Scotia to the New Hebrides Islands, via Boston, Cape Horn, and Honolulu, a distance of at least 25,000 miles, equalling the circumference of the globe. Mr. Geddie, having been a settled pastor for eight years, felt called to go " far hence" and preach the �41 THE VRI E Wi l), MAY, 1879. Gospel among the savages of the South Seas.

" UNCLE TOM " AND HEINHCH HEINE. Among the new books, we notice at Thos. G. Thrum's, Fort street, an illustrated edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The print and illustrations are in the highest style of the art. That the demand should call for an edition of this nature indicates that the story of Uncle Tom, by Mrs. Stowe, has taken its place among the standard books of modern literature. Although slavery has passed away, yet the genius displayed in this book will not allow the work a merely ephemeral popularity. Having recently re-read the book, (an old mutilated edition, together with » The Key," published in 1853, falling in our way,) it is gratifying to glance at this superbly illustrated edition. It is accompanied by an interesting bibliography of the book, by Mr. Bullen, of the British Museum, who shows, by his memoranda, that Uncle Tom has been made to speak just twenty different languages, besides several separate editions in some of these languages. We have thought it might take as a good " serial " if some one would translate it into Hawaiian and print it in the native newspaper Kuokoa. Tbe introduction contains a most interesting correspondence between Mrs. Stowe and several distinguished personages and writers, including the Prince of Wales, Dickens, Macauley, and others. The most noteworthy reference to the book is in a paragraph from the writings of the late German writer, Heinrich Heine, so well and widely known, who died in Paris about twenty years ago. It appears that Heine had become notoriously sceptical in regard to the Bible, but in his last days was most inarvclously brought to 1879. confess bis error and accept of the Gospel of Christ as man's only hope. The following beautiful paragraph we copy : " The awakening of my religious feelings 1 owe to that holy book, the Bible. Aston ishing ! that after I have whirled nbout all and heartfelt thanks for your great kindness to us in allowing us the use of the Bethel school-room to hold our temperance meetings. We pray God in his great mercy lo spare you a long life in the great cause, and that he will grant you every happiness on earth for your goodness to us and all the seafaring community. We hope and trust that the temperance cause will flourish on the Island and all over the world. We leave here on Saturday for Vancouver's Island. Good bye. We remain your obedient servants. C. F.

(Signed) my life over all the dance-floors of philosophy, and yielded myself to all the orgies of the intellect, and paid my addresses to nil possible systems, without satisfaction, like Messalina, after a licentious night, I now find myself on the same stand-point where Uncle Tom stands—on that of the Bible. I kneel down by my black brother in the same prayer! AVhat a humiliation!

Pure religion and undeflled before Ood, the Father, is this : To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world. Edited by a Committee of tbe T. I. C. A. Annual Report of the Y. M. C. A. There have been held during the past year, five meetings; four regular and one annual. There are now 58 members to the Association. During the last year the meetings have been held quarterly, instead of monthly; the object thereof being to make the meetings more inreresting and entertnining, and nt least once a quarter have a full attendance of members. The experiment, however, has not proved satisfactory, and the regular monthly meetings will be taken up again during the coming year. The principal work of the Association is still among the Chinese. Our Colporteur, Sit .Vioon, having returned from China, after a visit of some months there, is again at work among his countrymen, by whom he is much liked. Sat Fan is at present on Kauai, traveling around among the Chinese there. On the Chinese work in general, I will add : That there is a regular Chinese Colporteur stationed at Kohala, and one at Hilo; but none on Maui. Although at Makawao we learn that they have meetings among themselves, conducted by some of their number who are Christians. There seems to be a growing interest among the Chinese in general all over the islands. The Chinese Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu have invested their money in a crockery store on Nuuanu street, the proceeds of which are devoted to charitable work among their countrymen. The sum of (4000 has been pledged— principally among the Chinese of Honolulu —for the erection of a church in this city. There has been some talk of our Association dropping this work, or at least of placing it in the hands of some other one or more religious societies, as being a work that bids fair to grow out of our hands in the future, and devote our funds to what it might seem our natural work. The establishment of a reading room and a place of harmless and attractive amusement for young men—there are no developments, however, to report in this line. The annual meeting of the Association was held at the residence of J. B. Atherton, Esq., on Thursday evening, April 24th. There were present about seventy ladies —of Sacramento, .- The following is the result of the election of officers for the coming year : President, W. R. Castle; Vice President, Dr. J.M. Whitney; Secretary, Wm. Kinney; Treasurer, W. F. Damon, re-elected. The following Committees were appointed by the President ; Beading Room—E. Dunscombe. Entertainment—William 0. Smith, T. H. Davies. Chinese Mission—Rev. S. C. Damon, H. Waterhouse, J. B. Atherton, Rev. C. M. Hyde. After the meeting adjourned, the company partook of a bountiful repast. Thus endeth the Tenth Anniversary of the Y.

His article closes thus : " All of our better people believe in treating them well, doing them good, and Christianizing them as far as possible, and in maintaining all treaty stipulations with the Chinese Government, till the treaty can be wisely and honorably modified. They feel there is no need of hot haste in checking the immigration, for any reasons of social ardor, political economy, or Christian states- manship. It would, doubtless, occasion more distress to the American population in California to remove the Chinese summarily, even if that could be done without injury to them and with their good will, before other good laborers could be found to take their places in the families and elsewhere, than their presence here has cansed ever since their arrival."

Berlin, Jan. 29, 1879. A VISIT TO THE HOME OF THE POET TEGNER. I cherish among my books a dainty little volume in gold and purple bearing the title Saga of Esaias Tegner," and in " FrithyoPswritten it I find '* In memory of a ' red letter day' at Lund, in company with Professor Tegner, grandson of the great Swedish poet—Copenhagen Aug. 17th 1878 and with the opening of this book, come"— to me in my Berlin home in the midst of this snowy New Year's time, a host of pleasant memories of the day in last year's summer time when I enjoyed so much in visiting the home of the Author of this most exquisite poem. We left Copenhagen early one Saturday morning, taking the swift little steamboat across the tossing channel to Malmo, through which city we had passed some days before, coming from Germany. One can have a charming excursion in this way, the boat over early from Denmark, the day in Sweden, and back again with the evening to Copenhagen, Lund, the university town which we were planning to visit lay only a short distance from Malmo, by rail. We were there in vacation-time, and very still did this former home of Tegner seem. It has now lost much of its old glory but it is still interesting as one of the intellectual centers of Sweden. Formerly it belonged to Denmark and was during the middle ages one of the most flourishing cities in Danish possessions. Now the university the next after Upsala in Sweden, with about 500 students renders it important. We had a card to young Professor Tegner, professor of oriental languages in the University, who received us with that hearty sincerity of manner, which is so delightful here st the North. We found him surrounded by his books among which was waiting a welconifor me which I had not anticipated, sarcely were we seated when our host stepped to his book case and passed me the little " Hawaiian Grammar" of my respected teacher and friend Profesor W. D. Alexander, published in Honolulu and ever to be pleasantly remembered by all the boys and girls, who have endeavored to master the rudiments of the musical Hawaiian at Punahou. Like a dear and familiar face or the melody ofthat s we test of greeting Aloha" seemed this little volume, in my friend's li- tg " �30 TIIK FRIEND, brary, so far away from tbe home of its Some traveller friend, passing through Honolulu, and remembering the linguistic tastes of Professor Tegner had purchased it and brought it home to Sweden, where 1 found it in its place of honor, birth. among the books of wisdom of the Orient and the wild poetry of the Northern world. Lund, must be a charmingly pleasant, social town, if we may judge from the friends we found. Prof. Tegner brought us soon to young Professor Vikander, Professor of Physics, whom we had lately met in Berlin. He had just returned to town with his charming young bride, and as she had herself not seen the town, we planned a little party of exploration, and had a most delightful day together Just before us, as we came out of the Professor's blossoming garden, was the Tegner Platz, in the center of which stands the noble statue of the poet whose name and memory all Scandinavia now so tenderly cherishes. It is a finely-finished statue by Quarnstrom, and tne head and face seemed to me especially noble, the perfect realization of a grandly poetic nature—intense, vigorous, unfettered, aspiring, infinitely tender. Although Tegner's name in this part of the world is a household word, and although his poems have been widely translated, yet there are probably very many to whom his name has a strange sound. He was born in 1782, the son of a Swedish clergyman. He lost his father early in life, and seems to have, when a mere boy, done much to aid himself. He developed, along with a rare poetic genius and an intense love of nature, a remarkable ability for acquiring languages. He studied at Lund, where afterwards he became instructor and then Professor of Greek. As a pastor, and later Bishop, he is well known ; but he will live in history as the poet of Sweden, and especially as the author of " FrithyoPs Saga." I shall have occasion to speak of this poem at another time in describing the scenes where tradition relates that the hero and heroine of this Northern Saga lived and died, the glorious Sogne Fjord, on the west coast of Norway, and hence will not attempt to give any outline of it here, but would only say, if any one desires to breathe the fresh, bracing air of this North land, to catch glimpses of Northern skies red with the glow of the strange Northern lights, to walk among forests of murmuring pines, and to breast the waves of Northern seas, to live over again the wild heroic days of the Northmen, let him read this most beautiful, melodious poem, this exquisitely musical saga, the story of the love snd life of the hero Frithyof and the lovely maiden Ingeborg. It was pleasant indeed to have the grandson of the poet to do the honors of the house where for so many years the poet had lived. The house, standing on one of the side streets of the town, is now the shrine " of Lund for the traveler. From all parts of the world come visitors to these little rooms, with their low, old-fashioned ceilings, to see the few relics which still remain of the poet. An important collection of translations of the " Saga" constitutes one of the roost interesting objects to be seen. These are in many languages, and, if I remember correctly, there are something like eighteen translations in English, and the * APRIL. 1879. same number, if not more, in German. It would be a pleasure to see it in Hawaiian ! 1 missed one thing which 1 had hoped to see, and which 1 think Longfellow somewhere refers to—the old study floor/ I wonder that this most poetic souvenir has not been preserved, and that something new and modern has been put in its place. Tegtiir was in the habit of pacing up and down his room as he composed, and at the point where he turned, the floor had been so worn away that a little depression had been made. This certainly was the materialization of poetry—as if the working, thinking brain and the singing or sorrowing heart above had left their impress on the very way the poet's feet had trod ! But now it is gone. Here we saw the books which he had used, many pictures of himself and his contemporaries, his worn writing table and other humble reminders—for the poet-professor and Bishop had here no splendid home— was here unburdened by the often geniusquenching adornments of a luxurious life. 1 shall long cherish the memory of our morning's visit to the poet's home, and hope that some day I may see once more this shrine (how these wayside shrines begin to illumine the way as I look back along the rambling pilgrimages I have made!) in which still lingers the warmth of a poet's life and heart. But would it ever be quite so delightful in other company ? Not far away from this spot is the ancient Cathedral of Lund, once the Metropolitan Church of all Scandinavia, erected in the llth and 12th centuries. Singular wood carvings adorn the choir, and there is an atmosphere of antiquity, a union of stately plainness with a richness of adornment in the interior which is very interesting. The crypt beneath the Cathedral is excessively odd. There is a very great deal of stone carving, no two pillars alike, and there are many elaborate monuments to archbishops. I was particularly struck by a singular reminder of an old tradition which is perpetuated here in two of the stone pillars. The story runs that the heathen giant Finn and his wife endeavored to prevent the building of this Christian temple on Scandinavian soil, and that they were finally overcome and turned into stone by the holy Saint Lawrence. Two of the columns are rudely carved in shape of the giant and his heathenish companion, and these wild shapes seem, through the ages, out of their cramped and stony imprisonment, to dumbly and yet fiercely protest against the aggressions of the new faith. One is constantly reminded here of the old beliefs which lingered and warred so long. Some such scarred, weird reminder as this seems often to lie along our way. The University of Lund is much smaller than that of Upsala, but it is an important institution for Sweden. The library contains many thousand volumes and numerous manuscripts. We enjoyed much visiting the University buildings, which our friends, the Professors, so kindly showed us, especially the large hall where the students assemble and where many of their entertainments are given, the walls being covered with portraits of former instructors. The students are here, as in Upsala, divided into nations," that of Skane being by far " the largest. , I should indeed be omttting to speak of one of the pleasantest features of this pleasant day should I fail to make mention of our charming dinner together at the Botanic Gardens. What a wonderful world-brotherhood there is after all, and how much dearer this common fellowship of sympathy, tastes, feelings, aspirations grows to be as we meet people of all nations ! We were young men together, with much of sympathy in our lives and aims, and though we had known one another but a few hours, our real acquaintance seemed of much longer duration. And then, to give just the requisite grace and charm to our gathering, there was the sweet young wife of our friend, a bride of a few days, whose gentle, innate dignity seemed to fit her rarely for the position to which her husband had brought her, and in which I fondly trust she may remain through many, very many brightening years. How the pleasant table-talk went round in German and English! We all had lived in Germany, that land unsurpassed for study and inspiration ; and then there were a few words spoken in Finnish (the bride is from Filmland) just to show us how it sounded. My knowledge of Finnland and Finnish culture was somewhat vague. You know sometimes we feel a little piqued that dwellers in other lands show such a lamentable ignorance about our sunny islands and the progress which has been made there ; but I scarcely think we could give much of an idea of the state ofculture in Finnland ; and yet here is a charming lady sitting next me, the very embodiment of a gentle and deep culture, who says to me, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, that it is expected of an educated Finnish lady that she should speak four or five different languages ! And then she goes on to tell me of the poetry of Finnland, of the life there, society, etc., so that before it is time for dessert an entirely new idea has dawned upon me in reference to this land at the North. But even cozy and agreeable dinners must have an end. And as we separated—our Swedish friends to their homes and work, and we to further travel—l think there was a very sincere and hearty ring in the Auf wiederschen" we exchanged. A few hours by rail and channel and we were safely back again in Copenhagen, just as the evening lamps were being lighted. Few days of my life have been more satisfactory than this, spent in the past and present of this little University town, so that, in recalling these pleasant hours and the cordial and warm hospitality of our friends, I feel as if this Swedish holiday excursion was indeed worthy of being marked in my calendar with a " red letter." ' The monthly letter of our European Correspondent is shorter than usual this month, and we copy the following paragraphs from private letters : Berlin, January 12th. Of late the theme of conversation has been the weather, and with reason. We are having the pleasantest of winters, with plenty of snow and firm ice for those who skate. This last week has been, in its winter glory and beauty, something long to Temember. The " Thier Garden," as I �THE FIII X !\ walked through it the other day, was more like a place of enchantment than a leafless forest on the borders of a busy city. Every twig was silvered and gleamed in the sunshine. Imagine, if you can, a diamond forest. The skating is attracting many, and the sleigh-bells fill the air with their merry music. On Thursday last 1 came, home from Mecklenburg. Up to the very last we had such a pleasant time. The journey I enjoyed very much, for it gave me an opportunity of seeing the picturesque, quaint and extremely interesting old Hanseatic town of Rostock, with its University and monument to Blucher, who was born here, and also of spending an hour in Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg, where I saw the beautiful castle of the reigning Grand Duke, one of the finest edifices in North Germany. Feb. 17th.—In the pleasantest sense of the term we have the Carnival season just now, and this lasts untilLent puts an end to the many entertainments and merry-makings The Court has gone out of mourning, and the Court festivities began some little time ago with the Schleppencan," or grand " when the ladies appear opening reception, their Court trains and the Court in long presentations are made. I have described to you before the Schloss and other entertainments there, so you know already something of these scenes, which are repetitions of last year's festivities, but always most brilliant and interesting. At the Court reception, the Emperor and Empress received in the Hall of the Knights, a most beautiful apartment, one of the many rooms which are thrown open on such an evening. The Hawaiian Representative stood next to Mr. Everett, now acting as American Charge d'Affaires since Mr. Taylor's death. The Emperor and Empress were most gracious and kind. She wore a long train of dark red velvet bordered with fur, and about the shoulders was much of the same brown fur, studded here and there with great diamonds, and the under-dress, from which the train swept away, was in white and silver. The diamonds which she wore on her neck, head and breast were most grand and dazzling. The Emperor still wears his wounded hand in a sling (a mute reminder of that wild, tragical, almost disastrous day last June), but looks remarkably well, so bright and genial, smiling on every one. There is something wonderfully sweet and attractive in his old age. After the Emperor and Empress pass through the different apartments, welcoming their guests and receiving the new-comers to Court, all retire to the White Saloon, where stately lackies in gorgeous liveries pass around tea, ices, creams and sherbets (for at the drawingroom there is no supper). Then comes the beautiful Court concert. The leading singers of the opera and the best of choruses have alreudy taken their places on a stage erected at one end of the hull. Oh, such music !—the choicest, the rarest you can possibly imagine, and then amid such surroundings—the glory and sheen and magnicence of this Imperial Court. A few days after followed the first Court ball, very much the same as that of which 1 sent you a description last year. The Empress was splendid in long while brocade l>, APRIL, 1879. dress, with a broad red band near the bot- tom and running up in front, sown in beau- tiful coral pattern with large white pearls. The dresses of the ladies at this ball were unusually gorgeous and fine. The Russian ladies are always the most elegant. The suppers at Court are something splendid. On one table was an elaborate centre-piece representing a windmill—perhaps the old windmill famous in the history of Frederick the Great, at Potsdam. On Thursday, Parliament was opened in most impressive style in the White Saloon by the Emperor in person. Every one was in grand uniform. The Emperor stood under the dais with the Crown Prince, and made his speech in a full, clear voice, but in which the quaver of his advanced age came now and then. Bismarck was present —grand and imposing in his white uniform. He is growing old, but will to the end, I think, look like the wonderful man he is. The " Reichstag" promises to have a lively session this season. Bismarck's Parliamentary soirees on Saturday evenings have already begun, but the Diplomatic Corps are unfortunately not invited. It is much harder to get a sight at Bismarck than at the Emperor. You may have seen a translation of a book which has made much talk in Germany of late, written nnd compiled by a former secretary of Bismarck, in reference to the great statesman during the FrancoPrussian war. It is already translated into English, and will shortly appear in French —a book which does not represent Bismarck as wholly infallible. As I said, the opening of the Parliament was very impressive. The Emperor was announced with all his titles by some one acting as herald, and greeted with loud cheers by the assemblage. As he placed his helmet on his head, just before reading his opening speech, you could see that it was done with much difficulty, his wounded hand and arm having not fully recovered their old strength and vigor. Something almost like a murmur of sympathy ran through the spacious hall as this was noticed. As he left the throne he was repeatedly cheered, which he acknowledged by bowing to right and left. Feb. 25th.—The Carnival season is now drawing to a close, and it will be pleasant to settle'down again to quiet, studious ways. Last evening there was a large gathering at the Italian Embassy—a very brilliant and beautiful affair. The Emperor and Empress were present for a portion of the evening. This evening the last Court ball will take place at the Schloss ; and on Thursday the Princess Louisa, grand-niece of the Emperor, will hold a farewell reception before going to England to be married to Prince Arthur Feb. 26th.—The ball last evening was a very splendid affair. In the midst of all its brilliancy, I enjoyed nothing more than a pleasant, quiet talk with Prof. Mommscn, the famous historian, of whose History of Rome you have heard. He is rather an old gentleman, with long streaming gray hair ; and another interesting chat was with Berthold Auerbach, the celebrated novelist, who is pleased that his novels, '* On the Heights" and " Villa on the Rhine," are read in Honolulu. I send his autograph, written on his visiting card, which he gave me the other evening. 31 At a similar entertainment at their priPalace, last Thursday, which was very beautiful, my especial delight was in the softly lighted conservatory, with its white statues, beautiful palms and ferns. I was much pleased to see in one of the Empress's apartments a small case of pink Micronesian vate coral. I am just now meeting a great many literary, artistic, musical people, who, as you know, have always had very much of a fascination for me. On Monday evenings Herr and Frau Dohm receive their friends— a large and brilliant gathering of literateurs, etc.—Bnd where I have been made to feel I am a welcome guest. Herr Bohm is one of the editors of the " Kladderadatsch." His wife has written much, especially in reference to the cause of woman in Germany. They are most genial,kindly-hearted people, and gather a brilliant circle about them. On Saturday evening I was invited, with Professor and Mrs. Whitney, to a most interesting evening gathering at the home of Key. Mr. and Mrs. Davies. This is quite ftiother phase of life from that to which I have just referred. The former represents the most brilliant, cultured, talented, literary side of German society ; the latter the quiet, aristocratic, dignified, religious, and also cultured side. I enjoy seeing both. At the Davies' one meets the religious aristocracy of the city, such as Madame yon Biilow, wife of the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, and Count Engelstein. My dear friends Pastor and Mrs. Frummel were also present, and the dear pastor, with his gleaming, cheerful, sunshiny face, and rich, musical voice, kept us midway between laughter and tears for nearly an hour with that wonderful gift of story-telling, in which scarcely any one in Germany excels him. His theme was that quaint old clergyman, Pastor Strauss, famed for his quaintness and originality, simple piety and rough poetry—a sort of German Spurgeon. What a delicious word-picture Pastor Frummel gave us about this old Westphalian preacher! If you ever see the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," look at an article there on Berlin by ut. Davies. As 1 look through the island papers and see the notice of some unexpected death, my goes out in a wonderful tenderness to all who are called upon thus to mourn, and my congratulations to all the happy young couples who are getting engaged and married. I shall scarcely know Honolulu if they go on at this rate. My room is bright and warm, though outof-doors the snow is blowing in a rough Scandinavian sort of a way. Think how cold it must be in that winter-land, though always grand. You would laugh to see hi**' the chubby little cherubs, sculptured on the portal of "my opposite neighbor the church of St. Hedwig, and whose pleasant duty it is to carry through all time between them heavy wreaths of " stone " roses, stand in the drifted snow. And now, dear people, not another word ; you will think it all a Carnival, but I wanted to give you just a little picture of the season here. Id the midst of it all I think 1 have enjoyed Old Homer aa never before, this undying music of the past. The University lectures have commenced, and are now fully under way. 1 thinkI am pretty skillful in mofaicing a diplomatiu and student life. * * Berlin, Fob. 2Gth. Fkank W. Damon. " �32 THE FRIEND., THE FRIEND. APRIL. 1. 1879. American Shipping and the Reciprocity Treaty. Mr. Editor : A few days ago I picked up an eld copy of the Friend, which had served as a wrapper to preserve from salt water a book on its cruise among the four channels of Hawaii, and remembering that the Friend always contains something worth reading, I sat down to look it over, when my eye caught the heading " Reciprocity will enrich American merchants and shipowners." Although the article was published nearly five years ago, and long before the Treaty became a law, yet the views expressed in it struck me more forcibly than when 1 read them in the paper fresh from the press. It presents an argument that is generally overlooked when speaking of the Treaty. I copy a paragraph from it: we argue that a Reciprocity Treaty " Now, will increase tenlold the number of these bitrks, briga and schooners flying like shuttles between the Hawaiian Islands and the western coast of America, the natural market Tor our sugars, rice, bananas and other products, while our lalanda form n market (or manufactures and produels of the United States. Last year—lB73— according to Custom Houae returna, these lalanda exporied to the United States products to tbe value of $1,139,725.81, while imports from the United States amounted to (529,982.08. Reciprocity would quicken trade, multiply ves- aela laden with products of each country, and enrieb Dot only the Hawaiian lalanda but merchants and shipowners on the Coast. What the East India Islands are to Europe and the West India Islands to the Atlantic States, the Hawaiian Inlands will prove to the Pacific Const of America if commerce ie increased and our products find a good market. How can we buy goods unless our products find a good market? Fur two hundred and more yeara the cities of the United States on tbe Atlantic Coust bave been trading profitably with Cubs, Jamaica and other neighboring islands. Portland, Boalon, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities have grown rich from trade with those islands. San Francisco. Portland and others will derive similar benefits and profile from a quickened trade with APRIL, 18 79. same period 53 tons ! Can anything show more clearly the benefit which this treaty has secured to American commerce ? This is quite an important point to consider when asked " where the reciprocity comes in." Before the treaty expires, your statement predicting a " tenfold increase " may prove true. While I have my pen in hand let me add one or two more paragraphs to illustrate the stimulating influence that this treaty has had on our foreign trade, as compared with former years : [awalian Imports ifrom " ... .... all countriea in 1874 11,186,183 1870.... 1,811,770 2,4-28,000 1877 •• 1878 .... .I.Wfi.MO Again, the trade between the United States and Hawaii exhibits a most extraordinary growth under the treaty : '0U1 import* a from U t 629,982 I nitted SStates In 1873 187fi 1,032,664 1877 1,681,402 1878 a,ll'i,011* •The total for 1878 is obtained by including imports free under the Tresty, $1,619,987.61 ; duty psying, $315,-416.36 ; bonded, $111,498.79 ; duty paying at Hiloand Kawaihae, $6,823.71 ; snd one-half of the freelist, $66,286. Here we find that the trade of the United States with Hawaii has grown from $529,-982 in 1873, as stated in your article, to $2,112,011 in 1878. If to this extraordinary fourfold gain we add the freight and passage money earned by the large fleet of American vessels now carrying for us American and Hawaiian produce, which cannot be less than $400,000 per annum, we have a total of $2,510,000 derived by American farmers, merchants and shipowners from their trade and commerce with Hawaii, which could not have been the case had the treaty not gone into operation! These are facts which American statesmen can point to with pride, and which should not be overlooked by them when studying the results of the Reciprocity Treaty with Hawaii. I was pleased to see Judge Caton's wellexpressed views on the Reciprocity Treaty in point. He is a man of keen observation and large experience, and whatever he utters is reliable and impartial. The opinion of such a man, who has reached it only after thorough personal examination, will have more weight than any newspaper article published here. And it is hardly possible for any intelligent person to come to this group, and by observation learn the working of this treaty, without becoming fully convinced that it is resulting beneficially to both America and Hawaii, enriching American farmers, merchants and shipowners, and ought to become a perpetual the Hawaiian Islands."—Friend, Nov. 1874.

Hampton Institute.—We are glad to learn from the Southern Workman " and other sources that General Armstrong's efforts are wonderfully blessed. A new feature of the enterprise has been added, in gathering youth from the Indian tribes, and success crowns this effort. The following extract from a letter of Gen. A. addressed to his mother will be read with interest: "To-day at our Communion Service, eleven Indians, full blooded, once savage, most of them implicated in cruel murders in Texas in 1874, were admitted to our Church. Their baptism was very simple and touching. They had been well proved. Our effort for Indians here is in the line of a most remarkable chain of events. It is an interesting and wonderful experience. I have just raised $10,000 for a new building for them, and must get $6,000 more for a new workshop. Probably Pres. Hopkins, of Williams College, with his wife and daughter, will come and stay two months with us this summer, while Will and his family go north. It will be pleasant." " Rev. E. B. Tuthill.—This clergyman, pastor of the Congregational Church in Martinez, Cal., came to the Islands about one year ago for his health. Oahu College needing a teacher about that time, he rendered temporary and satisfactory assistance. During the summer he spent a lew weeks in Hawaii, but returning he settled down to quiet study in Honolulu, where few knew how he was employed; but incidentally we learned that he was investigating the "fish" caught by the native fishermen and exposed for sale in the market. He informed us that he had minutely examined and taken notes upon 94 species. More than one-halfof this number he had copied or painted, thus catching the marvelous and varied colors of these many strange varieties of fish. A person who has examined his drawings expresses his surprise at his wonderful success. We hope this retiring and modest student of nature may be rewarded by some society anxious to make a collection. We are not aware that Mr. Tuthill has preached more than twice on the Islands, as his health prevented him from accepting invitations. Twice, however, he consented to occupy the Bethel pulpit, and we feel quite confident his audience on those occasions will not soon forget his sermons on " Jonathan's Armorbearer " and " becoming partakers of the Divine nature." These were not ordinary sermons. We trust that with renewed health and reinvigorated strength he may reach San Francisco and be able to resume his pastoral and ministerial labors, having recently left in a sailing vessel. �THE FRIEND, APRIL, Four Children.—In pronounce it the best paper in the United States—certainly the best I have ever been acquainted with.

That commencing, ,fcl love to steal awhile away," by the late Mrs. Brown of Munson, Massachusetts, is worthy of record. The following letter from her son, the Rev. S. K. Brown, D. D. of Yokohama, will be read 187 9. the garden to see, and she said it was you, that you came to the fence, but seeing her turned quickly away, muttering something to yourself. There was something in her manner more than her words that grieved me. I went home, and that evening was left alone. After my children were all in bed except my baby. 1 set down in the kitchen with my child in my arms, when the grief of my heart burst forth in a flood of tears, I took pen and paper, and gave vent to my oppressed heart in what I called "My apology for my twilight rambles, addressed to a lady." It will be found in its original form, in an old manuscript among my papers. In preparing it (some years Nettleton's Village Hymns," after) for some three or four verses were suppressed, and a few expressions altered in the original » the first stanza was with interest: Yokohama, Jan. 27th, 1879. Deab Dr. Damon— You ask me to give you some account of my mother's hymn, the first line of which was " I love to steal awhile awny." I have seen several notices of the origin of that " hymn, but never one that was accurate in its details. I have often heard the story from my dear mother's lips, in my youth, and in late years have frequently thought it I l«ve to ateal awhile -awny Frum little ones and care, &c. might be my duty as her only son, to give to the public the information I possessed reThis was strictly true, I had four little specting the circumstances under which she children, a small unfinished house, a sick wrote that hymn. 1 now have before nic sister in the only finished room, and there my mother's antobiography in manuscript was not a place above or below where I written at the urgent request of her children could retire for devotion, without a liability at Chicago, 111., in 1849, and I can not do to be interrupted. There was no retired room, better than to copy from it, her own account rock or grove, where I could go as in former of the occasion that induced her to write in days, but there was no dwelling between our her journal the verses, which have since house and the one where that lady lived. been published in many hymn-books, and Her garden extended down a gnod way sung by thousands in whose hearts they below her house which stood on a beautiful awakened emotions that are common to de- eminence.

When my mother was 18 planted for shade on each side of the road, years old, (having been left an orphan before and as th@re was seldom any one passing she was two years of age) she was sought that way after dark, I felt quite retired and out by Mr. Nathan Whiting's father of alone with God. 1 often walked quite up Canaan, Columbia Co.

There she was treated with the ing apple, if not the flowers. I never saw greatest kindness, an experience to which any one in the garden, and felt that I could she had been a stranger for many years, and have the privilege of that walk and those there she made a profession of her faith in few moments of uninterrupted communion Christ. She always cherished the most with God without encroaching upon any greatful and affectionate remembrance of one.

Hum*," founded on the interview of Christ with the woman of Samaria. 1 Welcome, ye hopeful heirs of heaven," was written on the occasion of a large accession ol converts to the church of which Rev. Dr. Ely was the pastor in Monson. There was also, I think, a morning prayer meeting hymn, beginning, " How sweet the melting lay." My mother published a book entitled publication I " Tales of Real inLife," whose between 1*832 superintended New York and 1836 ; also another called" The Village School," which was a smaller volume, descriptive of the work of Divine grace in the only school she ever taught, I believe, in Canaan, N. Y. She wrote many articles for the Religious Intelligencer, of which Dea. N. Whiting, of New Haven, was the proprietor and editor for many years. She also contributed a good many short poems to the same paper and to others. Several times she wrote the New Year's " Carrier's Address " for the N. Y. Observer. She wrote a good many tales of real life, depicting a variety of most thrilling scenes through which she passed in early life. But my mother never went to school Irom the time she was nine years old till she was eighteen. Those were years of intense and cruel suffering. Had she not been possessed of a heroic spirit she would have been utterly crushed and ruined by what she was compelled to endure. At eighteen years of age she went to school three months in Cloverach, N. V., in a common school. Then and there she learned to write. Previous to this she could not write her own name. At the end of the three months she was graduated, and never went to school again. The tale of her early life which she has left her children, and which I have but lately had sent me from Chicago, is a narrative of such deprivations, cruel treatnent and toil as it breaks my heart to read. But she came out of the furnace as gold tried in the fire, and was such a mother, such a wife, such a member of society, and withal such an energetic and widely useful Christian woman, as to have left her memory embalmed in many other hearts than those of her children. A month ago I received a sprig and clover blossom from her grave in Monson, sent me from a gentleman in Walton, N. V., who always visits her grave when he goes to Monson, his birth-place, because he cannot forget histeacher, having been a member of an infant class she taught there for many years. It was a large class, and she prepared lessons for them that were published by the Massachusetts Sunday School Society. But excuse me ; I had not intended to say all these things about my darling, blessed mother when I began to write. Her record is on high, and she is with the Lord, whom she loved and served as faithfully as any person I ever knew— nay. more than any other. To her I owe all I am, and if I have done any good in the world, to her, under God, it is due. She seems, even now, to have me in her hands, holding nig up to work for Christ and His cause with a grasp that I can feel. I ought to have been and to be a far better man than I am, having had such a mother. She and all my father's family have gone �THE FRIEND, APRIL, to their rest. I only remain, and I pray God that my remaining life, be it longer or shorter, may be a walking in her footsteps who gave me birth and consecrated me to ADVERTISEMENTS. IAT God.

Even those followers of Christianity whose " doing evil that good may come " leads them to a rigid and intolerant adhesion to what they regard as essential doctrine, and those whose sense of the importance of the inspired word will not permit them to find excuses for various readings of what they consider should be verbally believed, must look hopefully to the period when differences of creed in Christendom will cease and true catholic unity will prevail. But if we cannot all yet regard each other as being entirely right, we shall surely do no harm and may help towards much good by seeking to walk in unity and to help one another as far as possible. It is a hopeful sign for the Christian world that religious intolerance, instead of being regarded as in past periods in the light of a high virtue and a mark of sanctity, should now be rejected by so many and deplored by those even who cannot be tolerant without in their honest belief sacrificing principle. We have read with interest two paragraphs in a recent New York paper, one referring to the visit to that city of the Dean of Westminster, the other speaking of the " Quaker poet " Whittier. The Tribune speaks of the Dean as follows : " He has maintained his own opinions, but he has scrupulously respected the honest opinion of others. He has been listened to by great crowds of all denominations and has kept their attention without the least resort to rhetorical tricks or sensational expedfents. If he is not a great pulpit orator, he is something better and rarer—a great pulpit teacher, provoking thought, disseminating knowledge and exciting earnest inquiry. The mind with which the Dean has been regarded is to be read in the addresses which he has received from several classes of Christians. The Baptists expressed the feeling of all others when they spoke to him not merely of bis learning and his printed works, but of ■ the uniformly genial and loving treatment which it is his wont to mete out to men of all Christian fellowship as well as to those of his own.' One of the chief lessons, we may be permitted to say, which the presence of Dean Stanley has given us, is that of the possibility of a much more harmonious relation of churcnes of differing professions to each other than has been common—of liberality without any latitudinarian lapse or loose indifference. To many this may seem easy enough, but perfect charity is not easy to men of strong convictions, intellectual and spiritual. We all admit its theoretical value—the visit of Dean Stanley, now so auspiciously concluded, has demonstrated that there may be fear of 36 CYhoMriusetnPonolulu. angof'sA ociat n 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. a unity quite independent of creeds, and not think " that the true method of watching for in.the least subversive of their real author- our Lord's returning, and of hastening unto, and hastening the day, is for Christians to ity."

But Mr. Whittier is of too large and liberal a nature for such narrowness, which we are glad to believe is becoming less and less common among all denominations of Christians. Nobody can charge him with latitudinarianism or indifference, for he is Quaker to the very " 10 mo. 17" of the date of his letter, and is rigidly orthodox as to his personal pronouns. In old times he might have been dealt with by " the high seat," but the meeting now is proud of him and loves him, and leaves him sensibly to say and to write as he pleases." A "Prophetic Conference," so-called, was lately held in New York, composed of learned and influential clergymen of various denominations; but all imbued with the be- lief that the Second Advent of Christ will be " pre-millennial," that is, thut Christ will soon commence a personal reign upon the earth, fo be followed by a thousand years of freedom from sin among earth's inhabitants. This does not seem to be a doctrine of any practical importance—on the contrary, a phase of it called " Millerism " has proved to be a very dangerous dogma, disorganizing society and driving many to insanity. We prefer to refer all the passages of Scripture that speak of a near coming of the Lord, to the meeting of the soul with Christ at death. With a recent writer on this subject, we Chinese Masonry. We clip the following frrom a letter to tho New York Corner Stone, written from Denver, Colorado: " Many features of Chinese or heathen Freemasonry are similar to those of the Order in Christian lands. For instance, benevolence and mutual aid are principal objects of the organization; it has four graded degrees, the initiation ceremonies into which are thorough and peremptory ; they have their grips, signs and passwords, and exact a high standard of morality from every member. One feature of the initiation is blood-spilling. From every candidate a small quantity of blood is taken and placed in a common jar. Their mode of salutation is to extend the right arm grasped at the elbow by the left hand. In handing an article to a brother it is grasped with both hands drawn in close to the body and then slowly extended towards the recipient, who also receives it in both hands, palm to palm.

Considering the Treaty of Reciprocity, the United States derives the lion's share accruing from the commerce of the Hawaiian Islands. This is as it should be. More than 38 millions of pounds of o«r sugar crop go to the United States, and in exchange our Islands are importing from the United States machinery, groceries, and all the great staples of commerce.

Here was the Jiome of the Bishops, and here for a long period of years the Swedish kings were crowned. There is but little now to recall its mediaeval history—far too little, we thought—modern edifices and regular streets provailing. And yet the old spirit still lingers, and as you stand in the shadow of the ancient Cathedral, or review the history of the University, you feel that all the links which join the past and present have not been severed. The only other University in Sweden, besides Upsala, is at Lund, in South Sweden, of which I may have occasion to speak hereafter. The latter, however, while occupying an honorable position, is not of as great importance as this at Upsala. Here may be seen the most characteristic features of Scandinavian student-life. The students are divided into " nations" or divisions, according to the district or region of Sweden from which they come, thirteen in all. Each " nation" has its " inspector—one of the professors ; they have each their own treasury, and most of them have some building or hall, where they have their social gatherings, entertainments, etc. Of course, this arrangement, which I think is peculiar to Scandinavia, has its advantages ; but I should think it would tend to encourage sectional feeling and prejudice. Duels, fortunately, do not occur in Scandinavia among the students, as in Germany—one of those relics of barbarism which that land has not as yet thrown off. As you are aware, the Scandinavian students are famous for their beautiful singing, the concert of the students from Upsala and Christiania having formed one of the interesting features of the recent Exhibition in Paris. On the average, Upsala counts something like 1,500 students on her roll. At Lund there are from 500 to 600. Education has made great and encouraging progress in Sweden. The schools are numerous and of a superior class, public and private. The excellence of the Swedish schoolhouses is widely known. One of the extremely interesting features of the Exposition in Philadelphia, as may be remembered by many, was a bona fide Swedish schoolhouse, with all its improvements, arrangements and apparatus. Attendance at school is compulsory from seven to fourteen years of age. So much has been said about Swedish education that I may be pardoned this slight digression in alluding to it in general. This rigorous educational life is a most healthful sign. In Upsala the most interesttng edifice, next to the Cathedral, is the University Library. It occupies a noble position on a slight elevation above the town, facing the principal street of the city. In the rear ofthe Library lies a large wooded park, where, amid " murmuring pines," a the students, and fine promenade is afforded where we may fancy many a young Scandinavian ponders on the long centuries which have gone before, and looks with the glow of youthful hope and enthusiasm to the bright future which may be yet awaiting his Fatherland. The Upsala Library is one of the treasures of Scandinavia—in a general way we may say it is a world treasure! Its two hundred thousand or so volumes, embracing every branch of philosophical, scientific, literary thought, are most carefully and conveniently arranged. I found here, carefully preserved as a rare and precious possession, an ancient manuscript, which I may say had more than anything else lured me to Upsala—the " Codex Argenteus," the Gothic translation of the four Evangelists by Bishop Ulfilas. It is impossible for one to gaze on this ancient manuscript, venerable and hoary with its fourteen centuries, the only surviving relic of the Gothic language, this monument to the memory of its brave and faithful translator, this radiant gleam, as it were, thrown upon the still lingering night of paganism—it is impossible, 1 say, to gaze upon this faded parchment, with its silver letters, without being deeply, tenderly, irresistibly moved. I could appreciate and sympathize with the enthusiasm manifested by our guide in pointing it out to us. There is something most exquisitely and intensely poetic in the reverent, loving, and deeply earnest spirit which such a precious relic of long-vanished days has the power to evoke. I trust that some may be interested in a short extract from the pages of one of Max Muller's most interesting works, in reference to Ulhlas and his translation : " He was born in 311. His parents were of Oappadocian origin, and bad been carried away by the Goths as captives from a place called Sadagothina, near the town of Parnassus. It was under Valerian and Gallienus (about 2G7) that the Gotbs made this raid from Europe to Asia, Galatia and Cuppadocia, and the Christian captives whom they carried back to the Danube were the first to spread the light of the Gospel among the Goths. Ulfilas was born among the Gotbs ; Gothicwas his native language, though he was able in after-life to speak and write both in Latin and Greek. Pbilostorgius, alter speaking of the death cf Crispus (326), and before proceeding to the last years of Constantino, says that about that time ' Ulfilas led his Gotbs ' from beyond the Danube into the Roman Empire. They bad to leave their country, being persecuted on aecuunt of their Christianity. Ulfilas was the leader of the faithful flock, and came to Constantino as ambassador. * * We must suppose that, after having crossed the Danube, Ulfilas remained for some time with bis Gotbs, or at Constantinople. Auxentius says that he officiated as lictor, and it was only when be bad reached the requisite ago of thirty that be was made bishop by Eusebiue, in 341. He passed the first seven years of his episcopate among the Goths, and the remaining thirty-three of his life ' in Solo Romaniae.' where he had migrated together wiih Fritiger and the Thervingi. * * Ulfilas translated the whole Bible, except tbe ' Books of Kings.' Unfortunately, the greater part of his work has been lost, and we have only considerable portions ot the Gospels, all tbe genuine Epistles ol St. Paul, though these again not complete; fragments of a Psalm, of Ezra, and Nehemiab. Though Ulfilas belonged to tbe Western Goths, his translation was used by all Gothic tribes when they advanced into Spain and Italy. Tbe Gothic language died out in tbe ninth century, and after the extinction of the great Gothic empires, the translation ol Ulfilas was lost and forgotten. But a MS. of the filth century bad been preserved in the Abbey of Werden, and towards tbe end of the sixteenth century a man of the name of Arnold Mercator, who was in tbe service ofWilliam IV, the Landgrave of Hessia, drew attention to this old parchment, containing large fragments of tbe translation of Ulfilas. This MS., now known as the Codex Argenteus, was afterwards'transferred to Prague, and when Prague was taken in 1648 by Count Konigsmark, bo carried this literary relic to Upsala in Sweden, where it is still preserved as one of the greatest treasures. The parchment is purple, the letters in silver, and the MS. in solid silver. In 1818,Cardinal Mai and Count Castiglione discovered some more fragments in, the Monastery of Bobbio, where they had probably been preserved ever since the Gothic Empire ol Thcodoric the Great in Italy bad been destroyed. Ulfilas must have been a man of extraordinary power to conceive, for the first time, the idea of tranblating tbe Bible into the vulgar language of his people. At his time there existed injEurope but two languages which a Christian bishop would have thought himself justified in employing—Greek and Latin. All other languages were still considered ns barbarous. It required a prophetic sight, a faith in the destinies of these} half-savage tribes, and a conviction ulso ol the utter efletencse of the Roman and Byzantine Empires, before a binhop could have brought himself to translnte the Bible into the vulgar dialect of his barbarous countrymen." bound Beside this most interesting and precious manuscript is the original of that most exquisite poem, " Frithyof's Saga," by Esaias Tegner, the first of Swedish poets in any time. A recent visit to the house of the poet, and acquaintance with a grandson of Tegner, worthy of the honored name which he bears, rendered this modern manuscript exceedingly interesting to us. Here also was some ancient " Edda." But I must not weary you with a further account of this library, now that we have discovered its rarest pearl in the Codex Argenteus. The other University buildings lie not far away, the students having their rooms in the town. Upsala, I should think, would be the rarest place for earnest study, in the depth of a Northern winter. The Cathedral is a fine old building, dedicated to St. Erik, St. Lawrence and St. Olaf. We were in doubt just how to find the sacristan. Fortunately, an Upsala student, perhaps some " vacation worker," chanced to be passing. Just a word to him, and he was at our service. The sacristan is soon found, and our newly-made student friend joins himself to our company in that kindly, genial way they have here at the North, and with his ready explanations makes our Cathedral visit far pleasanter than it would otherwise have been. May the good saints, Erik, Lawrence, Olaf, and all the holy ones of the Swedish Calendar, take him under their especial patronage and bless him as he deserves! The church is surrounded by mortuary-chapels, containing tbe remains of Sovereigns and celebrated men of Sweden On the walls of one of the chapels were paintings portraying incidents in the life of Gustavus Vasa, whose adventurous life reminds one of the career of Alfred of England. Here is the tomb of Eric Oxenstiern, and here also rests the great botanist Linne, known generally as Linnasus in scientific writing, one of the most famous of Sweden's sons. A faded wreath still hung over the monument, placed there probably on some recent anniversary. Faded as it was, it was pleasant to see this reminder here of that world of natural beauty in which Linne walked as one privileged above all others to read beneath the outward bloom and form and fragrance the mysteries of those delicate, marvelous laws of growth, order, and development which give to the humblest of humble flowers a strange and sublime dignity. And with these buildings concludes our �THE FRIEND, MARCH. I>S7 inspection of Upsala.

To tne the very air seemed freighted with the spirit of the olden times. As we strode onwards, we cast backward glances now and then at the town we were leaving, with its University buildings. There was something in the sight of those buildings cresting the hill above the town which reminded me of other college buildings cresting another hill—so very fur away from here. Wide as is the reach of land and sea which lies between this home of Swedish learning, set in the embrace of this quiet Northern landscape, and the halls of Amherst, set amid the fairest of New England scenes, yet I could not but feel that the sympathy of-kindred pursuits, the love of truth and the brotherhood of youthful hopes and aspirations, joined in a covenant of lasting, although unspoken, friendship those institutions in the Old World and the New. Before us, not very far away, rose the spire or tower of the village church, the goal of our ramble. Now the way lies over some deserted moor and now through a fertile field, through whose billows of golden grain a narrow way led us to the farther side. Still on, till at last we stood face to face with three huge grass-grown mounds, on whose sides a few late wild flowers still lingered, which stood like sentinels before our way. And these were the objects which we came especially to see, these same three commonplace grass-grown mounds! You see, " Gamla Upsala " was, long long centuries ago, the very center ofthe old heathen religion in Sweden, and was held in especial reverence, and these three mounds were supposed in some mysterious way to be connected with the ancient deities, and are named after Odin, Thor and Frey. These are the largest mounds of this nature in Sweden. One still greater, however, and who now at unending banquets quaff this ambrosia of the North, perhaps from the skulls of the vanquished and slain! But, oh earth-child, be wise in time, and do not tempt the jealous souls of Walhalla heroes, for the joys which this mead produces are but fleeting, and this sweet may become indeed a bitter. But we were cautious, and have only pleasant memories of this our nearest approach to the mysterious realm in which the heroic souls of Scandinavia rest after conflict. I think the horn from which we drank was presented by King Karl Johann. There were others there from other princes. Several large " visitors' books" testified to the numbers who from time to time visit this spot. But the coming of evening forbids our longer tarrying here, and we hasten back to Upsala, taking thence a slow and sleepy train to Stockholm. A fresh-faced peasant girl, with her neat handkerchief decorously folded over her head, seems to bring a bit of light and brightness into our compartment. Every one nods kindly to evey one else. Some one hums a Swedish air ; the car moves slowly on ; the twilight gathers softly in the forests ; large drops of rain fall on the car windows; city lights gleam on us through the mist, and soon the train lands us in the station at Stockholm—and not at the vestibule of Wal- ». 23 mainly live in the along the Norwegian boundary, whither they came about the year 1600 on account of the disturbances in their native country; and finally a few Laps, who have a nomadic life, and in the summer generally wander with their reindeer to the Norwegian coasts. The land seems astir in all respects. New industries are opening and old are continued. More and more attention is being paid to agriculture, and the fertile land in the southern portion of the country is carefully tilled. There are two agricultural colleges or academies. Mining is one of the oldest pursuits in Sweden, especially iron and copper. The lumber business is assuming great importance, the country being exceedingly rich in forests. Lumber is largely exported to England, France, Denmark, Germany and other countries. The fisheries of Sweden do not compare with those of Norway. Manufactures of woolen and cotton goods, in metals, of paper, brandy, tobacco, etc., etc., are constantly increasing. Swedish commerce advances in a like degree with the internal development of the country. The Church of Sweden is Lutheran. The country is divided into twelve dioceses, the Archbishop living in Upsala, and is regarded as the Primate of the Swedish Church. The highest authority is entrusted to the King, who with his Cabinet has the government of the land. There are separate ministers for Norway and Sweden, with the exception, however, that the Department of Foreign Affairs is the same for both countries. The Minister of State for this Department must be a Swede, and is responsible oniy to the Swedish Parliament. The foreign representatives of the Kingdom may be either Swedes or Norwegians. Every year the Swedish Parliament (distinct from the Norwegian Storthing) meets at Stock- holm, before 1565 consisting of four orders— the Nobles, Clergy, Burgers and Peasants— now simply divided into two houses. The army numbers something like 30,000 men, with a reserve of 100 000 or more. The navy is very small, but increasing. Fortunately, Sweden is a land of peace, and has other use fer her men than holding them in readiness for war. Of the educational advantages of Sweden 1 have already spoken. At the head of Sweden's poets stands the name of Esaias Tigner, the author of " FrithyoPs Saga ;" then those of Bellmann, of Allinquist, of Atterborn, Franzin, Geizer, and many others especially well known in their native land. But particularly in the department of science have Swedes been illustrious; it is only necessary to mention Linne, Swedenborg.

MEMORIAL FRIEND, MARCH, 1879. Good Advice to a Young Man.—A physician writes to young men as follows: "My profession has thrown me among women of all classes, and my experience teaches me that Heaven never gave man a greater proof of His love than to place woman here with him. My advice is :Go and propose to the most sensible girl you know. If she accepts you, tell her how much your income is, and from what source derived; tell her you will divide the last shilling with her, and that you will love her with all your heart into the bargain. And then keep your promise. My word for it, she will live within your income, and to your last hour you will regret that you did not marry sooner. Stop worrying about feminine untruth. Just you be true to her —love her sincerely, and a more fond, faithful, foolish slave you will never meet anywhere. You will not deserve her, I know ; but she will never know it."

Homeward bound, sailed from Ponape Jan Ist, 1879; : Bfe "Know Ye Not that Ye are the Temple of God."—The argument for total abstinence drawn from the fact that God honors our bodies as His temple, elevates the subject of Temperance above the common and ordinary grounds upon which men are urged to refrain from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage. Alcoholic drinks debase, degrade and brutalise the body. If God deign to come down and take up his abode in the sinner's heart, and thereby fit the soul for heaven, should we not strive to furnish a pure and holy abode as the dwelling place of the Holy Ghost ? Drunkenness and intemperance are certainly among the most debasing and polluting of vices. 'Drunkards are certainly enumerated among those classes which are not to inherit the Kingdom of God."

Kobe, Japan, Jan. 6th, 1879. the To Editor of the Friend. Dear Sir : In your"issue of September, IS7B, you publish a letter from Key. L. Lyons, which is of the greatest interest to those who desire the preservation of the relics of primitive forms of civilization. What other monument of the ancient culture of the Hawaiian people can compare with this collection of sixteen thousand words, given in Andrews' Hawaiian Dictionary, and how rapidly would it have perished except for the industry and zeal of such scholars as Andrews and Lyons. But that the labors of Mr. Lyons should be brought within the reach ol those who are most interested in the study of the different forms of social evolution, it is necessary that the dictionary which he is revising should be published by some scientific society that will distribute it to other societies. The American Oriental Society would perhaps hardly be ready to undertake so heavy a work; but I think that there is little doubt that the Smithsonian Institute would be ready to take it up. In Jhe first place, it is, I think, much the most .complete presentation that has ever been made of the ideas contained in any language of thePolynesian race. In the second place, new words and idioms are gradually convng in, so that if such a work is delayed much longer it will be difficult to find scholars who can distinguish between those that belong to the primitive language and those that have been produced through the influence of European ideas. The value of such a dictionary to philologists and anthropologists will be greatly increased if modern words are mark ed as such and their derivation given when known, and if the new meanings that have been attached to old words ure pointed out. In making such discriminations, one who commenced the study of the language nearly fifty years ago would, of course, have a great advantage over a younger student. The words that Mr. Lyons speaks of as bed words will be of as much value to the philologist as other words ; but if used only for expressing spiteful feelings, or if in any way offensive to the original Hawaiian sense of propriety, the fact should be noted. I have no doubt that the officers of the Smithsonian Institute would be glad to publish such a dictionary of the Hawaiian language as Andrews' Dictionary might be made under the revision of Mr. Lyons; and I trust that those at the Islands who are interested in the matter will bring it before CHINESE ON HAWAIIAN ISLANDS SEND CONTRI- them. It may encourage you in taking up the know that a dictionary of the Dakota language, prepared by Rev. S. K. Riggs, was published by the Smithsonian Institute some years ago. By special arrangement, extra copies were printed for the American Board's Dakota Mission, of which Dr. Riggs is a member. Hoping to hear that some way has been iound for bringing before the world the results of Mr. Lyons' studies on the dictionary of the language, I remain ever yours faithfully, John T. Gvlick. matter to BUTIONS TO CHINA—OPPOSERS OF MISSIONB SILENCED—BASEL MISSION IN CHINA. 30th Dec, 1878. Rev. S. C. Damon, Honolulu Two letters from you, dated sth October and 25th November, are before me. The first came by the sailing ship Amy Turner, and the second by the steamer Perusia. Many thanks for your kind communications, and no less for the papers you sent me, which give me always great pleasure to read. There is at present a sailing ship here, the Crusader, which is bound for Honolulu, and a Hawaiian woman, the widow of a Chinaman of the name of Ahyong, who seems to have been engaged in evangelistic work, expects to return to her native land with three boys of hers. A certain Dr. Kitteridge wrote to me about this woman, and said that he would send the money for her passage if he knew how much was wanted. She now tells me that the Hawaiian Consul here has promised to provide a passage for her and her boys. The man who returned to China in the Amy Turner brought a good many letters and also some money from different parties for their relations here. I was also much surprised and pleased to receive a handsome subscription from my old friends the Chinese Christians of the Sandwich Islands to the amount of 8137.50. I value this token of grateful acknowledgment very highly, and it shows how unfair the slander is which now and again is uttered against the Chinese in newspapers. It was only under date the 17th October that the China Mail copied a letter from a Foochow paper, where it was said that large sums of money were annually collected in England and America for mission work in China, but is it wisely or properly expended, and have the united Protestant missions in all China one single sincere and thorough convert to Christianity excepting those whose services are regularly paid for by the mission t A high authority in mission work in China has frankly stated he is afraid not, and it is notorious that all the servants in foreign •mploy, female as well as male, who have been educated at the expense of a mission, are most vicious in all their habits ; and as to their morality and virtue, the least said on this subject the better. It so happened that on the 3d of December there was the annual day of intercession for foreign missions, and the English Bishop invited me to give an address on mission work. I brought my subscription list from Hawaii, and referred to the above unkind expressions, and asked the auditory to compare and judge for Hongkong, : themselves. I also translated some of the letters and gave them to the editor of the China Mail, who made extracts and admitted that these facts practically disposed of such aspersions ns were made in the above-mentioned letter. However, the principal drift of his leader was to the effect that the Chinese seemed to be well off on the Sandwich Islands, and it was a pity that the Governor had stopped two vessels from taking emigrants there. If you know a Key. Dr. Hyde, will you please tell him that afeeceived his letter inquiring after the precedents of Shat Fan and what he had been taught in school. He belonged to the Rhenish Mission, and 1 gave Dr. Hyde's letter to Mr. Faber, who will answer it by and by. You ask me if I have any publications in English giving accounts of the labors of the Basel Mission in China, but I am sorry to s<y I cannot oblige you, as we have never made any publication here, and the reports to our Board are German, and are printed at home in the same language. If I should endeavor to give you a general sketch of our work here, it would amount to this : I arrived here in 1847, as the first missionary of the Basel Mission, with another brother, who died in 1854. Two missionaries of the Rhenish Mission came with me in the same ship, and are now also dead. After many futile attempts to get a footing in the country, we succeeded in 1852 in getting a permanent station among the Hakkas, some distance inland. The Anglo-Chinese war in 1866 compelled us to flee for our lives and stay in Hongkong for two years. After that time, and in consequence of the better opening up of the country by the Treaty of Tientsin, our work had more success. Hongkong was kept on as a station, and forms now, as it were, the basis of our operations ; but the principal work is in the country, where we have three stations now, occupied by nine European and three Chinese missionaries, who have studied in our college at Basel, and have returned as ordained ministers of the Gospel. Our census of last year stood thus: Four principal stations, 16 out stations, 10 catechists, 9 evangelists, I itinerant preacher, I bible-woman, 15 teachers of schools ; church members in full communion, 1,048; children, 669 ; catechumens under instruction, 136 ; 16 schools, with 372 pupils (266 males and 82 females). Church funds for the providing of the poor, the widows and orphans of catechists, and for building cha- pels and schools and paying salaries to catechists and teachers, $4,000, accumulated from yearly contributions of the native Christians. Only the interest is used up, as the funds are not sufficient yet, and must accumulate still more in order to serve their purpose. God bless you for the kind interest you take in our Chinese Christians, and prosper you in all your work to the glory of His holy name. Yours, in Christian friendship, very sincerely, R. Lechler. Do not for a moment suppose that you can wink at individual corruption, and yet leave the world of this great country Dean Stanley. uninjured. �Places of Worship. 1879. MARCH, ADVERTISEMENTS. .

Edited by a Committee of tbe T. M. C. A. Y. M. C. A. The regular quarterly meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held at the Lyceum, on Friday evening, Feb. 21st. After prayer and the reading of the minutes, Dr. Damon, from the Committee on Missionary Work among tbe Chinese, reported that religious services were regularly held every Sabbath in the Lyceum at 11a. m. and in the Bethel vestry in the evening, besides a prayer meeting on Wednesday evenings and a Sunday school at 3 p. m. on Sunday. That measures were in progress to organize a church among the Chinese, there being about 30 Christians among them here. Articles of faith had been drawn up in Chinese, and a committee of the Hawaiian Board was cooperating with them, and in a few weeks the church would be established. Sit Moon had returned from China with his wife, and had resumed his work. Sat Fan, who had been preaching to the Chinese and acting as a colporteur among them during Sit Moon's absence, was ready for any Christian work. He hoped arrangements would soon be made either for his employment at Wailuku or Makawao, Maui, or, in case Sit Moon was called to be pastor of the Chinese Church, as a colporteur in this Island. A Chinese colporteur, Yung E, was already at work in Hilo, supported by the Foreign Church, and another one at Kohala, supported by the plantation. A Committee, consisting of Drs. Damon and Hyde, was appointed to make all necessary and prudent arrangements for the employment of Sit Moon and Sat Fan as might seem best to all concerned. Many of tbe members engaged in familiar conversation and discussion on this subject, from which much encouraging information in regard to the evangelization of the Chinese was elicited. The main feature of the evening was the reading of an essay by Dr. Hyde on the subject of Hawaiian literature, which consisted mainly of the Doctor's notes and comments in making up a catalogue of all the works published in the Hawaiian language. Of these there are 107, but no one collection comprises them all, and some copies and editions are extremely rare. He exhibited some copies of the early editions of the Bible, primers, maps and engravings, which attracted much attention. The Doctor also commented favorably on the industry and devotion of the early missionaries in reducing the Hawaiian language to writing, and in forming its grammar. He was of opinion that they made no mistake in giving the Hible to the natives as speedily as possible in their own language, and that the success of Christianity among them was owing to the fact that they preached and taught the people in their own tongue, which sentiments many who spoke afterwards concurred in. After the appointment of the usual committees and a collection, the Association adjourned, having spent a most profitable evening. We suggest that the essay ot Dr. Hyde be procured by some one of tbe Honolulu newspapers for publication, for, as a permanent contribution to the bibliography of this Kingdom it is of great value. Another suggestion is that there must be many more in our community who would be interested in attending the meetings of this Association, and they occurring but quarterly would not prove to be a severe tax. Under date of Adrian. Michigan, Jan. 14, 1879, Major Cole writes to a friend in Honolulu: confined to my house with " I haveas been illness, well as every member of my family. The brethren in Jacksonville have urged me and my family to labor with them all winter, but sickness compels us to decline. Yesterday was the first Lord's Day ( have been out, save one, since I left Jacksonville. I did not intend to go, but after prayer in the morning I felt impressed to go I know it was of to the African Church. the Holy Spirit, but my faith was tried as 1 went into the little church (for the first time in my life) and saw only two persons. The pastor said, ' When the hour for service arrives I always begin.' So he read the hymn, and two of us—the congregation— sang with him ; and we had a good song, for the Holy Spirit was there to help us. Then he called on the layman to pray (I think ministers miss it in not doing so often), and then he preached to us, and just as earnestly as though the house was full, and wound up by saying, ' As long as I can find one of God's children to comfort, or one sinner to talk to about Jesus, 1 am going to do it; and if the whole Church turn their hacks upon Christ, I mean to follow him.' At the close of his sermon, the layman said a few words, and encouraged the pastor by saying, ' You will always find one here to work with you.' ' Well,' says the brother, will always have a blessing, for 1then we two are met in my name, Where " be there." or three I'll ' The layman ihen told the pastor who I was, and he asked me if I would not give them a word of cheer; and so I opened the Word and gave them words of cheer from the dear old book, and pointing out promises that had been specially 28 AHsYCMochoiearutnn'gf onolulu. blest to me. At this period in came another brother, and the pastor was encouraged because they had increased a hundred per cent, since the meeting was opened—it began with two and ended with four. He then asked me if I would not come and speak to his people in the evening. After prayer 1 decided to come if they would pray for God to give me physical strength, and then that the Holy Spirit would incline the people to accept the call toshe meeting, and that the Holy Ghost would give me a message to them. We knelt down and prayed for all this. On my way home I called upon a poor invalid colored sister, and we prayed for the meeting. " I was surprised in the evening to find the little church, which holds only about 150, quite full of colored people. The Lord was faithful to his promise, and gave me a message which was blest to my soul and the congregation. The pastor's face was radiant with thanksgiving, and an occasional amen would break from his lips —a Holy Ghost amen—and could not be kept back. Before the meeting closed, I invited cold Christians to get up and ask for prayers and confess their backwardness. Many did so, to the delight of their pastor. Then the unconverted were invited to Christ, and those who desired then and there to do so to stand up. Some twelve or fifteen rose, and the Holy Spirit filled the house as we knelt in prayer. " They asked permission to take up a collection, as the pastor wanted to send away a letter, and he had not a postage stamp. I could not keep back the tears at this announcement, nor my hand from my pocketbook, and I praised God for the privilege 1 had had to be made a blessing to that little flock, but they were made a greater blessing to me. This morning a couple of white ministers called on me and told me how much they were tried and what trouble they had. I waited until they had finished, and then Tclated to them my experience of the day before and of the faithfulness of that poor colored pastor. They listened attentively, and then acknowledged they had no trials, and to night they begin evangelistic meetings in their churches, and I hope they will find their faith increased. The dear Jesus has not lost His drawing power. Last week I ventured out one afternoon to speak at the funeral of a blessed little girl, eleven years of age, whom the dear Master enabled me to lead to Him. The poor child bad a diseased hip, and fire inches of bone was taken from her leg. She lived several days after the operation, and the day before she died I was sent for. I could not refuse, though so poor in health myself. Whilst " there, she asked for water. They brought to her some; she tasted of it, and then looked at me with my Bible and said, * Oh, give me water from the book ;' and as we read Rev. xxii., ■ Yes, water from the book,' she would repeat over again. The last words I heard her otter were,' Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.' " � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
