When crossing the Western Prairies we saw immense flocks of birds flying south, as the cold winds and frost were changing the color ofthe forest foliage. We were glad to follow their example and hurry our escape from the chilly winds and frost-bitten lands of the north to the sunny skies and mild regions of the Pacific Islands. Our limits will not allow us to describe our homeward journey. In another part of our sheet, our journal breaks off at Paris. Passing through Brussels and Antwerp, in Belgium, we embarked trom the latter city, Sept. 4th, for New York. After spending a few days among friends, in New England, we crossed the Continent. On arriving in San Francisco it was our privilege to attend the opening meetings of Moody and Sankey.

Gladly would we mention names of persons and families contributing to our happiness and welfare. In our fond recollections of friends and places in foreign lands, we do not forget our great indebtedness to friends and parishioners near home, who have so kindly contributed by their aid to render it pleasant and easy for us, to be temporarily absent from our pulpit, parish and editorial chair.

Alexandestination. der yon Humboldt, who was, from his cxr * • �90 111 X FRIEND, tensive travels in a certain sense, citizen of all the world, mentions as the three cities which are in his estimation, of all, the most beautiful, Constantinople, Naples and Salzburg. Here, you know, was the birth-place of Mozart, the Great Musician. Not so very far away from Salzburg, (a charming early morning drive, when the woods arc cool and fresh, and the birds are waking, and the towering Alps above you w»rtri their cold granite faces in the rosy light of the new day), lies that " Happy Valley " where the little village of Bcrchtesgnuden nestles in the embrace of grand mountains, in Summer reveling in a perfection of natural beauty, (in contrast with which the dreams ofpainters nnd poets seem empty and colorless), i.nd in Winter biding itself away from the world behind almost impassible barriers of gleaming ice and snow. Just beyond this fuvoretl spot lies the famous lake, called by the Germans " Konigs-See,' and worthy ol all royal honor it is. I think you must be familiar with its appearance, lor hosts of artists have for years " pitched their cump " here, and have tried to catch on their canvas the deep, mysterious green of its waters. I have seen no where else such marvelous coloring, you seem to sail over a sea of liquid emerald. From all this picturesque nnd refreshing region which is the charm and boast of Austria and Bavaria, for here amid mountains and lakes, boundary lines run in and out in a queer zig-zag sort of way, we came to Munich, of which fascinat- ing city crowded with rarest an-treassures, I wou d have much to tell you were 1 not enger to get further on—and to the real goal of this monthly letter But before telling you what I have seen in Ober-Atnnier Gau, I must tell you why I came in the first place to think of visiting Ober-Ammer Gau at all. There is one advantage in writing to one at a distance, over telling anything to a Iriend near at hand, viva vocei you can in the former case tell your story to the end without fear of having it " nipped in the bud " at the very beginning. Some day you may me that the Passion tell the history of " Play" had grown trite und wearisome to you from innumerable accounts of the same which have come to your notice for months; that you have read descriptions of this Peasant Performance until you desire something new, and that now you are better instructed in reference to its peculiar and interesting details than your latest informant. But as yet, 1 do not know a word of all this, you see, and hence in my innocent enthusiasm can tell you an old story with the joy of one who feels he is telling something new. There will be this comfort for me, if ever I find out my mistake, that what 1 have to tell is worthy of being oft repeated, and that any copy of so good a picture, however poor, however hasty and unworthy, may still be a source of pleasure to some. If we trace the History of the Church and Literature back into the middle ages, we come upon the first traces of these representations in dramatic form of biblical themes, of which this " Passion Play " of the Bavarian-Tyrol is the finest specimen, and which is the only thing of the kind really worthy of mention, still existing to remind us of what was once so great a source of pleasure DECEMBER and often tjmes of profit, undoubtedly, to a very large portion of the peasantry especially, in a number of the European countries The early ' mysteries " of which we read, and which treated mainly of the Life, Passion and Resurrection of our Savior seem to have been first in vogue in the llth, perhaps, however as early as the 9th century. They were first given in the churches, but later, owing to their being treated in a too secular manner were transferred to the open fields or church-yard. While some of them undoubtedly were given in a reverent and religious spirit, others were marred by a course and revolting realism which seems to have been more in harmony with the spirit of these ages than with ours. In Italy, France, Germany and England daring successive centuries these representations stem to have been most popular. In England there were the " mysteries," the " moralities and the " miracles." Sometimes they were given in a most elaborate manner and continued for days. In Southern Germany, they seem to have been, especially popular among the people. And it is in the little mountain village of Ober-Ammer Gau, in the highlands of Bavaria, where the cerm of this mediaeval Passion Play may be seen in the tetnarkable representation which has been there given this year. In reference to its origin we have the following account: " In the year 16!Ma fearful pestilence broke out in the neighboring villages, so fearful indeed it was thought everybody would die. In Kohlgrub, distant three hours' journey from Ammer Gau, -so great were the ravages made by the disease that only two married couples were left in the village. Notwithstanding the strict measures taken by the people of Ammer Gau to prevent the plague being introduced into their village, their precautions proved insufficent, and the latal malady entering, spread with such fearful rapidfty that within a short space of time nearly ninety persons died. Then the villagers, in their sad trial assembled and solemnly vowed that, if God would take away the pestilence, they would perform the Passion Tragedy in thnnksgiving every tenth year. From that time on, although a number of persons were suffering, not one more died of the plague. In 1634 the play was first performed. The decadal period was chosen for 16S0, and the Passion Play has been enacted every tenth year with various interruptions since that time." Whether this was the real cause or not, it is still a fact that here in this little village for more than two centuries the Passion Play has been given—and its representation has become the principal event in the lives of these simple country people. Undoubtedly the " Passion Play " as now given surpasses anything known in earlier days, and yet though those taking part in it are trained with greater carefulness than formerly, and all the details are managed with an exactness and perfection, the result of modern skill and taste, still the foundation and frame-work is much the same as in that remote period of its origin. The improvements oflater times are largely due to the earnest enthusiasm of the now aged village priest, the " Geistlicher Rath," Daisenberger, who still lives as a patriarch amid his flock for whom he has cared so long and " 188 0 faithfully. He is a man of remarkable talent and earnest religious spirit, and he has devoted himself, he->rt and soul, to training and directing the villagers in performing the " Passion Piny " which they regard with solemn reverence. Ober-Ammer Gau is a village of only a few hundred inhabitants. They support themselves principally by wood-carving, which in their skillful hands, attains a remarkable artistic perfection. They pay also some attention to agriculture. It is almost impossible to convey to one who has never visited this little mountain village,—a satisfactory picture of the life of the people. It is something so unique, so peculiarly earnest and religious, so beautified by their devotion to this great object of their life, the " Passion Play " that one must really come here and and see the people themselves, to truly appreciate them. To take part in the Passion Play is considered the very greatest possible honor, and the humblest and least important positions among the actors are eagerly accepted. From generation to generation the accumulated traditions gathering about its history are passed on from parents to children. During the intervening years they ptppare for it. The long, lonely winters when the snow-driftsshut them out as it were from the outer world, it brightens and enlivens their quiet life. In the school and in the festival of the church they fit themselves to take part in it. And when the year rolls round, when the Passion Play is to be given, they feel that a solemn but at the same time joyful anniversary is to be observed. The last time the Passion Play was given was in the* year 1871, after the conclusion of the Franco-Prussian War. At that time it excited the wonder and admiration of visitors from all parts of Europe, and much was said and written in reference to it. And this year for months a constant succession of travellers have visited Ober-Ammer Gau to witness this most wonderful spectacle. The journey from Munich occupies one day, and with fine weather nothing could be more delightful. If not in tbe garb of a pilgrim of the olden time, yet in no careless spirit did I undertake the journey to the Passion Play. What I had read beforehand in reference to it had impressed me with the feeling that it was no mere holiday spectacle at which I was to be present. The subject is in itself the most sacred and solemn which could be chosen. So that from the first 1 felt a desire to view reverently this representation, which it had been with me a longing and hope of years to see. As a boy I had read of the little village among the mountains and its peasant-actors, whose simple life is governed and beautified by so unusual a purpose, and who then seemed so remote, so strange, so unreal to me. And now my long cherished hope was to be fulfilled. My way south from Munich was first by train through a country growing constantly more and more beautiful. It is a region rendered charming by the exquisite natural loveliness of the scenery, and by a host of legendary and historic associations, which give an added life to hill and dale. Soon after leaving Munich, the beautiful lake Sternberg appeared lying in the �THE FRIEND, midst of a fertile and verdant country, and with glorious views in the distance of misty blue mountains. The villas of the wealthy Bavarians border the gleaming waters of the lake, and it is here on shore and island that the young, talented but strangely eccentric King Ludwig 11. of Bavaria spends most of Ins time at the Schloss Berg, or that fanciful spot •' The Garden of Roses," or wherever his quaint, poetic fancy may lead him. Further on the train stops at Murnan, and here the mountain journey begins. From this point on you feel the welcoming charm of these beautiful Bavarian highlands, and you rejoice indeed that you have come. This is the terminus of the railway. With the iron-rails the noisy, bustling busy world and its hurrying every day life seems to end. For a time, at least we will forget it. Amidst the glory and grandeur of these mountains, under the canopy of these circling heavens, and surrounded by these simple children of the mountain and country, we may rest and gather inspiration. The air comes down to us sweet, cool and deliriously refreshing from the mountain summits, where far on into the Summer the white snows glisten. The great mountains rise on every hand—nearly seen they show richly wooded slopes, with here and there open spaces where smooth grassy fields, bright in the sunlight seem to offer welcome and plenty to the flocks which pasture here in Summer; in the distance they grow deeply blue, the mist veils their wild peaks, and their stern out-lines, thus softened,- seem to be strangely in harmony with the clouds which hover near them. It is a long, delightful drive which we have, we would not have it end. The mountains seem to open before us as if in welcome, parting like huge ocean waves. We look back and they have closed again and shut out from us the old life in giving us one new and fresh and untired. We are not the only travellers by this mountain road. From all pom's they come. The highway is alive with varied groups. Here are some in carriages—in all manner of vehicles —on foot—every one is desirous of reaching Ober-Ammer Gau before nightfall. You would be most of all drawn towards the little companies of peasants on foot. Some of them have come long and wearisome ways to lie present at the Passion Play. For them it is indeed a pilgrimage. The beauty of the country surpasses our expectation. For such mountains we were not prepared. There is the Etallu Manal, over .SOOO feet in height; then the Herzogenstand, 6000 feet, and above all the Zugspitze, 10,000 feet, far up in cloudland; and now comes Ettal, where once stood the famous Benedictine Monastery, founded by the German Emperor Ludwig. Still onward the beautiful valley of the Ammer opens before us, and we are near our journey's end. It is a scene of singular beauty. The noble valley stretches away in the waning light of the closing day. To right and left rise the guardian-like mountains. In the center of the fertile plain lies the little village, tbe mosque-like dome of whose church we can see from far away. The vesper bell rings out clear and sweet upon the evening air. On one of the peaks of the nearest range, may be seen a cross, rising far, far up towards heaven, and we recognize the Kofel, DECEMBER, the guardian spirit of the valley. Lower down, beautifully out-lined against a dark back ground of deepest green, stands a marble group representing the crucifixion, Presented to the community of Ober-Am"mer Gau by King Ludwig II of Bavaria in commemoration of His Majesty's visit to Ober-Ammer Gau, to witness the Passion Play in 1871, mid his appreciation of the earnest labors of ihe villagers in the performance of the vow made by their forefathers in the year 163*3." We find the winding village streets and paths crowded with people. Such a singular medley, such a Babel of languages, such a mingling of high and low, of rich and poor. We shall see them tomorrow once more together. Here fur a night or two one must lodge in right primitive fashion. The villagers will do their best to make you comfortable and willing, kindly people they are. But there are hundreds, aye, thousands of hungry and tired people to ho fed and housed, our hosts are busy enough, and tomorrow will be a hard antl trying day for many of them. On every side you are attracted by the most exquisite wood-carvings. In all the world nothing in this kind of work is more beautifully done There are one or two schools of design and carving here high up among the mountains. You come to see peasants, you find yourself among artists. They show their taste, their delicacy of feeling, their incomparable skill as carvers, in the tiiarvelously finished and wrought crucifixes, madonnas, flowers, p cture-frames and a host of different objects which are shown you here. We glance here and there, and the more we look the more we wonder at this strange little center with its motley varied life, where we find ourselves to-night. We are eager for the morrow; will it give us all we hope for and what we have come so far to see ? The day has gone—(he night has veiled the mountains, and the pines, which seem still to murmur softly in their sleep. The cross on the lofty Kofel and the stars keep watch and ward above, while before the hum and confusion have censed, the tired eyes have closed and the village rests in peace. Early the following morning, the village is once more a stir. A band of musicians passes through the streets. The people are gathering in dense crowds before the great building or theatre, where the representation of the day is to be given. I have come very early in order to be sure and get a seat. After coming all this way, at last to be shut out would be indeed a disappointment. At last the doors are opened, and we are admitted within the great inclosure. partly covered, partly opened with no dome but that of the heavens above. Hundreds of men and women are gathering, one heard a dv I, subdued murmur of voices like distant waves on the shore. In an amazingly short space of time all have found their places. It was worth making the journey just to see this assemblage. In the more expensive and secured seats are strangers from different lands, especially English and Americans. Near the center is the Royal Lodge where to-day sit a Bavarian prince and princess. I am glad that my ticket, taken at the last moment has given me a place among the I8 80 . 91 people. 1 am surrounded by the peasants and farming people, strong stalwart men and women they are too They greet me kindly, and in their hearty cordial way, give me the welcome of the mountains. What studies for an artist ! Peasants from the Tyrol, in their picturesque costumes; mountaineers und workmen from the lowlands; representatives from town and country and village, from all the region to north and south, east and west; cnpuchin monks with hood thrown back, blaclted-gowned priests; tourists in all manner of travelling costumes. Where would you find another so varied an audience ? I had difficulty to keep myself from believing it to be all a singular, fantastic dream. Before us rises the stage, arranged with great simplicity aud yet with admirable skill. In front a broad open proscenium for the choirs and the great processions,— behind this a covered space for table/tux virants; to the right the palace of Pilate; to the left the palace of Annas; on either sides the streets of Jerusalem. And bark of all this, most beautiful ot all, the green forests covering the grand old hills; streiching far away in the distance, verdant flower-dotted meadow lands; and above the blue of the Summer sky with drifting white clouds No brush of human artist could have produced such scenery for a background ! At this point I cannot do better than give in tbe simple yet earnest words of the village priest Daisenberger, the idea of this representation. " Our main objecct is to represent the story of Christ's Passion, not by a mere statement of facts, but in its connection with the types and figures and prophecies of the old Testament. By this manner of treatment an additional stfong light will be cast upon the sacred narrative, and the thoughtful spectator will be able to realize the grand truth that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, made man for our Salvation is the central figure of the inspired Volumes. As in the history of the Christian church the life of the Saviour and all his sacred actions arc continually repeated and reproduced, to the extent lhat (according to Scriptural commentators) He lives over again, suffers and triumphs in His saints as it happened before his appearance in the flesh, that the holy patriarchs and other saints of the Old Testament fore-shadowed His coming by the events of their history and by their virtuous lives. For He is the eternal Sun of the spiritual world, the Sun of justice sending forth his divine rays to illuminate in all directions both His predecessors and successors, no less than His contemporaries. Many of the incidents in the lives of the ancient fathers bear a striking and obvious resemblance to various parts in the life of the Redeemer, and set forth the sufferings and death arid resurrection so minutely that the Evangelists continually mention some prophecy which wos fulfilled. Thus the heroes of the Scriptures, Adam, the obedient Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Job, David, Micaiah, Jonas, Daniel, and so many others who labored and suffered in His Spirit, represent in part, though imperfectly, His Life, and through what they accomplished and suffered, they became the prophets of thst which is in Him, the Urbild, tbe primitive type, should take place. In this fundamental �92 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, thought is the representation of the Passion arranged and performed on the basis of the entire scriptures." For those who take part it is a solemn religious service. While the great throng has been gathering without, upon the stage curtained and hid from sight "assemble all the members of the community who are to take an active part in the performances, upwards of five hundred in number, together with their pastor and there engage in silent prayer, that is the unseen prelude to the Passion Play." Without the murmur and noise of voices have died away, and the most intense expectation is depicted on every countenance. First comes the plaintive music of the orchestra, and then from either side of the open sUge appear the divisions of the chorus advancing slowly and solemnly from right and left, till meeting in the center, they form one continuous line across the front of the stage The two divisions of the chorus, in which are both men and women , are led by two superbly handsome ai d stately men,one the most perfect type of Teutonic strength and manhood, with long flowing hair and beard, the other, the choragus proper, an equally noble specimen of manly vigor and power with dark hair and beard. All the members of the chorus are clad in robes, tunics and mantles ot various and harmonized colors of classic Grecian pattern. Before every scene of the. representation in full chorus, or solo, or duet, in song or recitative they announce the subject matter of the acted scene or tableau. They are, so to say the uttered voice of the " Passion Play." Never before was the office of the Greek chorus made so clear to me, as in seeing and hearing these peasant singers of the mountains The singing was far from being of a high order, and some of the peasant faces were anything but beautiful, but there was a plaintive earnestness and a devotion in their tones and gestures which was extremely impressive. And equally so was the slow measured and noiseless step with which they came before the audience. The choragus first explains the scope of the representation, the Fall and Reconciliation of �he sinner to God through the Redeemer of the world. Then the chorus slowly parting, the curtain is raised and the first tableau represents the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. From the very first moment you are amazed at the wonderful skill and taste displayed by the people. The tableaux are simple marvels of arrmgement, judged simply from an artistic standpoint, I hsve never seen snything to surpass ihem. And added to this there is an earnestness in the attitude of all the performers which shows that they are acting from deeper motives than any paid players could have. Now come scene after scene, tableaux and representations with spoken dialogue. All the main events in connection with the close of our Saviour's life are reproduced with always a proceeding suggestion or typical reminder of the Old Testament. The scene representing " Christ's entry into Jerusalem" which comes early in the mornings portion of the Passion Play, moves the audience profoundly. The immense stage is at first seen bare and empty. Soon the sound of rejoicing and shouting are heard, then slowly an immense throng begins to fill the streets, old men and women, youth and children, all in brilliant Eastern costumes. Palm branches wave in the air. Singing and melodies of welcome resound on every sid% And at last appears surrounded by this joyful company,a stately and imposing figure. You have feared, you have dreaded this moment. The very thought of anything of the kind has seemed to you like profanity. But the reverence, the tenderness, the devotion of these simple people, and the dignity and grace and sweetness of the one of their number who takes for the moment—as in a picture—this central fiijure,—sweep away, certainly for the time being, any such feeling. Of course the scenes are copied oftentimes closely from those famous paintings, which are the arttreasures of the world. the " Last Supper " brings immediately to mind the well-known painting by Leonardo dc Vinci. It would be impossible for me to endeavor to give even a hasty outline of the Passion Play, it continues from eight in the morning with an intermission of an hour at noon until five in the afternoon. The sun shines with summer heat or the rain falls in torrents, but still the stately march of the Passion Play goes forward. The morning sunlight passes into the fullness of high noon, and then begins to center towards the west before the end comes. We are led step by step through those last days of patient suffering, and trial through which our Saviour was called to pass, up to the final scene. This is given with the most realistic exactness. This is too painful, too overpowering, certainly for us with our protestant training. But even here the spirit of reverence shown at the beginning was in a peculiar degree manifested. We rise from our seats and wend our way homeward strangely moved. The grand story, this mighty history of that one matchless and wondrous life and death has been portrayed with wonderful vividness. I would never wish again to see the Passion Play as given in Ober-Ammer Gau, nor would I have gone probably to see it else where than in this little mountain village, where for centuries it has been represented with an undoubted religious fervor and earnestness, but once to have witnessed it and there, I count among the very greatest privileges of my life. 1 feel that the few words which I am permitted to send, written in the midst of many and pressing duties which claim my attention, can give scarcely anything approaching a connected idea of the Passion Play* But they may, poor and hasty as they are, lend some to read more in reference to this most unique celebration. There has been much written and well in reference to it. That it has done much, very much good—l have no shadow of doubt. That there are those to whom on the other hand all such representations are painful and displeasing I am aware and would for their opinion feel great and sincere respect. That which may move and stir one to more earnest thought, may be a source of difficulty to another oftentimes. Here at least I may be permitted to give the words of one who found in this representation reason rather for sincere thankfulness than an occasion for criticism. 1880. " Who has taught these simple minds this tenderness of feeling which is so evident in all their roles! This harmony, which does not detract from the glorious picture of the Redeemer as we believe on Him, but enables us to find In that maltreated innocence, in that reviled Holiness, the ideal so deeply impressed on our hearts? It is that pure enthusiasm of believing minds, love of God and of eternal truth that has inspired the villagers in their labors. Having once witnessed the Passion Play, we no longer look upon it as an interesting relic of the distant past out of keeping with the times, lingering on a threatened existence, but as upon the most marvelous and elevated dramatic exhibition of our epoch, and the perfection of the religious drama. Indeed, one can almost believe in witnessing the Play that he sees Christ descended to earth once more, preaching amid the sunny hills and valleys of Judea, living over the sad yet glorious events of His life among the men who misunderstood, persecuted and brutally pushed out of existence, —that life in whose sacrifice is hid the mystery of redemption and reconciliation." There is for us all who believe on Him, who is the Saviour of the world, (and who is there who can be so strangely unmoved by the glory and beauty of His Life nnd Death as to refuse the tribute of sincere and loving belief?) the joy and comfort of the thought that He still lives to comtort and to bless. As truly to-day He is near to us—as to those who felt the grace and blessing of His personal presence. It is not the story of a dead hero which is told through the centuries of missionary effort in the service of cathedrals, and from the pulpits girdling now the world, sculptured in marble, and sung in hymns or embalmed in the treasured and sacred writings of great and holy men, but that of a still living and sympathizing correct comprehension, this Friend and Saviour. * "Jesus I WbstonceThon wsst, Forever more Thou srt: Each moment of tbe ss.-.red psst Lives in the sscred Besrt. *.

" Th* Lord is my strengh, and my song snd la become my salvation." , We improve the earliest opportunity afforded us for paying a passing tribute to the late wife of our friend Judge Allen, with whom we have walked life's pathway for a full generation. We can distinctly recall her advent in our island community, her presence in the House of God, and her genial and sympathetic presence in the social life of our Honolulu Society. A gentle Christian spirit added its charm to a mind peculiarly refined by both nature and education. As wife, mother and friend, she adorned the circle in which she was called to move, and it is peculiarly pleasant to recall her memory and think of her as now numbered among the Redeemed in that Better Land. Her, Christian example, we trust may beckon others forward to leave an equally pure and bright example of Christian gentleness and patience. Perhaps we owe our readers an apology for so crowding our columns with •• European Correspondence "• during the past few months, but we cnn assure them that, during the coming year we shall endeavour to fill our columns with.more varied matter.

The sojourn of two or three days in each of the following cities—Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Saltzburg—enabled us, by the aid of Baedeker's "Guide Book" and other sources of information, to obtain something more than a mere tourist's knowledge of those cities, snd the countries of Which they are important centres. The months of July and August were most favorable for beholding these countries when the rich and golden harvest-fields were swarming with laborers, gathering in their abundant crops. At least one-third of all the laborers in Saxony, Bohemia, Austria,and Bavaria were females. Many of them were engaged in labors the most onerous and fatiguing. We saw many females mowing and pitching hay upon the carts, as well as engaged in the lighter parts of harvesting. Perhaps we might have been somewhat reconciled to this outdoor female labor on the ground of necessity during tbe busy season of summer-harvesting if we had not met, in country and city, hundreds and thousands of stalwart soldiers marching and counter-marching, and parading in their bright uniforms, or mounted, many of them on their fiery cavalry horses. We could not but infer that in these times of peace at least two millions out of the four millions of the standing armies of Europe shuuld be in the fields helping snd aiding their weary and toil-worn mothers, wives, and sisters in the downright hard work of the farm. No matter who suffers, the policy of the great monarchical Governments of Europe absolutely demands that the standing armies must be kept in the very highest degree of efficiency, all "armed to the teeth," and ready for action. The warelement attracts the tourist's attention in all the circles of European society and government which seems to be deplored on account of its enormous cost, but which is deemed as essentially necessary, while mankind and nations remain what they are. On psssing through Bavaria, we were glad of the opportunity ofa spending a week in Munich. Although Bavaria has been at one time attached to Austria, and at another to Germany, and never classed among tbe DIED. great Powers, yet historically it is an inPetebso!!— At the Telephone Station, Diamond Head. teresting nation.

We fancy some of our readers would THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM DIRECTORY �94 THE KRIEND, DECEMBER, be pleased to learn sojnething more about Kumlord, alias Benjamin Thompson. He was born in Woburn, Massachusetts, in 1763. In the early stages of the revolutionary struggle he was-a strong patriot, but subsequently changed his politics and became an officer of the British Army, with the rank of a Major. On the surrender of Boston he took the news to England. Subsequently hfe returned to America, but being restless returned to Europe and became a Minister of the Bavarian Court. Under his direction and suggestion many improvements were made in and about Munich. Among them the old fortifications of the city were removed, and what is now styled the English Garden, was laid out and improved. He removed the cemetries outside of the city and established a Central Cemetery, which is now much visited and admired. His improvements extended to clothing and feeding the army, improvintr the condition of the poor, suggesting improvements in cooking and actually established houses for feeding the poor, some of which, with modifications still exist. In scientific matters he was a second Benjamin Franklin. So much esteemed was his memory by a late King of Bavaria, that a public monument and siatue have been erected in the city, the one in the English Garden and the other in front of the National Museum. It is not a little remarkable amid so many monuments and statues in honor of Kings, Artists and Dignitaiies of the Church, to meet with this monument and statue to a son of New England. In consequense of political revolutions dur. ing the wars of Napoleon when Bavaria suffered so fearfully, Count Rumford left tbe Kingdom and returned to England, where hs became Vice-President of the Royal Society of England, and assisted in its establishment. He published various works on the qualities of heat, copies of which were pointed out to us in the Royal Library of Munich. He subsequently retired to his estate, in the neighborhood of Anteuil, in France, where he died in 1814- We would merely add that his title as Count was conferred by tne King of Bavaria, but instead of attaching to his name some European city or estate, he chose the term Kumford, which belongs to a small villiage or country place in New Hampshire, where, we believe, he taught school in his youth. If we mistake not, by his will, he endowed a Professorship at Harvard University. There is much in the life of Benjamin Thomson, both interesting and instructive. The week we spent in Munich was fully Occupied, and if space allowed we should gladly comment upon much we there met with lo admire and study, and leaving that region we entered the Republic of Switzerland, passing through Lindau, crossing Lake Constance, we visited a city of that name where Huss, the Martyr, was burnt in 1415. Hurrying forward to Basle we visited the celebrated Mission School, from whence Foreign Missionaries go to India, Africa and China. Among the photographes of missionaries who have there graduated, as we saw them in their Museum, we were pleased to notice that of the Rev. R. Lechler, now •'laboring so successfully in Hongkong, Chi- *unt Sandwich Islands during the last few years. Oilier missionaries have gone to Africa and India, whose record is most praiseworthy. From Basle we visited Zurich, Mt. Rigi, Lucerne, Berne, Lausanne and Geneva. The few days spent amid the beautiful lakes and grand mountains of Switzerland, form a bright and charming picture on the tablet of our memory, which we trust will never be effaced. The weather was such as to facilitate the rambles of tourists and we do not wonder that thousands and tens of thou- sands of health seekers and pltasure-lovers forsake their homes amid the crowded cities of England and Germany, accompanied by not a few from over the Atlantic to spend a few weeks amid the valleys and mountains of Switzerland. At one noted place of resort. Interlaken, we learned that at least 40,--000 would this season visit that place alone. It is from this place of beautiful resort among the lakes and mountains that a ride of a couple of hours will bring the tourist to a veritable Alpine Glacier. It wns our privilege to visit this spot, high up amoug the Alps, where bright, fields are in in close proximity to an immense glacier, which for ages has been slowly making its way to the valley below. The tourist could stand and almost touch the mountain of ice with one hand and pick flowers with the other. A grotto has been actually cut into the solid ice, which m»y be entered, and the dense mass appears as clear as crystal But we must hasten on our journey and leavine the delightful scenes, high up among the Alps, where Swiss peasants dwell in all the simplicity whereof we read in books of travels, and take a sail on the lake, about which Byron once wrote — L»kf Lemitn woos me with its crystal fsce." But we do not believe the poet had ever '■ seen the lake under more favorable circumstances than it was our privilege to view it on Saturday, August 14th. We spent the previous night at Lausaune. a city rich in its historical associations, and fully freighted with stirring incidents in eccesiasticnl history. There it was that Calvin and Farel took their stand for the doctrines of the Reformation, as Luther had previously done in Germany, only they made no half way work of breaking away trom the Romish Church. At Lausanne noblemen in subsequent years have lived and nobly contented for the reformed doctrines. But we were saying that Lake Leman was wooing us, and after viewing " Chillon," so touchingly described by Byron in his " Prisoner of Chillon," we embarked upon " its crystal waters," and for several hours skirted its hilly shores, vine-clad to their summits, and dotted with beautiful villages-from the centre of each rose a church spire. The smooth and glassy waters of the lake, mirrored on the right the Jura mountains with their " misty shroud," and on the left '• the joyous Alps." We passed Vevey, stepping ashore to visit some American friends, and re-embarking, we passed Lausanne, Coppet, and other villages once the residences ofthose renowned in history— Gibbon, Byron, Madame dc Stael, Rousseau, Voltaire, Calvin, D'Aubigne, and many others whose fame has rendered the shores of Lake Leman, renowned in historic na, and from under whose able teaching so annals. A Sabbath in Geneva we had been looking many Christian Chinese have come to the 1880. forward to with interest. The evening shatlows had (alien upon the city ere our little steamer entered the harbor, but we soon were snugly lodged in one of the numerous hotels looking out upon the lake. It is liternlly a city of hotels, for great is the number of summer excursionists visiting this part of the world. We found ourselves obeying the call of the great bell of the Cathedral on Sabbath morning, for we were anxious to worship in the edifice where Calvin preached and lectured, and otherwise carried forward the almost crushing and Herculian burden of the Reformation. The Cathedral pulpit is now occupied by the Protestant ministers of the Established Church. The edifice has been handsomely restored during later ye. rs—of course no pictures or crucifixes are to be seen within its walls, as in all Catholic churches. The services were conducted after the usual form of Congregational or Presbyterian order. We regret we could not understand the sermon in French, but were told that it was orthodox that morning, although some in the Cathedral-pulpit are very rationalistic in their utterances. After leaving the Cathedral, we found our way to the American chapel, supplied by the Rev. Dr. Stevens, of the MethodistEpiscopal Church, whose history of Methodism is so well known. His pulpit was occupied on this occasion by a young American Baptist minister, now studying in Europe, but pastor of the American chapel in Dresden. We do not hesitate to remark that on this occasion the young man (the Rev. J. F. Genug), preached a most eloquent and admirable discourse, taking for his text .the words of the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Galations : " Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." We only wish it was in our power to reproduce that sermon in the pages of The Friend. It was really one of the most logical expositions of the nature of the Law of God, and especially the Mosaic Law, that we ever listened to, showing most clearly the nature of law as man's rule of obedience in the early stages of man's existence ; but hew, in Christ, law met with its highest and noblest development. We learned that the young man was studying to fill some professorship in the United States, and most confidently can we congratulate any seminary which mny secure his services. It was exceedingly gratifying in this old city of Geneva, so intimately associated with Calvin's teaching, to hear a pure gospel so ably set forth and defended by a young theologian from our native land. It is common, in some quarters, to utter remarks depreciating the doctrines of the Bible as explained by Calvin, but let no one imagine that C'alvanism in a modified form has died out of the Church of Christ. Some may criticise the rhetoric, but still there is a grand fundamental truth underlying the following utterance of the Rev. Joseph Cook, the celebrated lecturer of Boston : " Plymouth Rock is a piece of granite broken off the Alps at Geneva. When were they thrown up? There was an hour on Calvary when the sun muffled his face at noon, and the rocks were rent, and then were thrown up the Alps, off which Plymouth Rock was broken."

Many of them are dying in the hospital, easily succumbing to influences which would have no such fatal effect on people of different temperament and constitution.

Germany will scarcely do more peoples, the sound of new languages, the feeling which was but deepened and intens- than awaken a new hate and opposition spring right to wander at your own will and pleas- ure. And here we are "in Bohemia—that of geography and history—and not that other intangible and indefinable realm, which exists everywhere, and is acknowledged no where, the Bohemia of art and letters, of clever doing and idle dreaming, that airy and uncertain Bohemia, known, perhaps better to many, than the fair land of which the grand old city of Prague is the capital. The Bohemia which we are now entering is one of the finest provinces in that great Austro-Hungarian empire which occupies so important a portion of central and southeastern Europe, and which embraces so many and differing peoples, covering an area of something like 250,000 square miles, and possessing a population of nearly thirtyeight million souls. Having found so much to interest me in this immense nntiomtl amalgamation ruled over by the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, 1 feel tempted to add a few facts relative to the country, thinking they might prove of interest lo others. It borders upon many of the most important divisions of Europe, extending from Prussijt a id Saxony on the north to Turkey, the Adriatic, and Italy on the South; from Turkey and Russia on the east to Switzerland and Italy on the west, comprising the provinces of Upper and Lower Austria, Tyrol and Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Istria, the Bukovina, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Galicia; then Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia, Sclavonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Novia Bazar, and Turkish Croatia. And in these dwell many races, speaking various languages Germans, Slaves, Roumanians, Hungarians or Magyars, etc., etc. Here, one meets Roman Catholics, members of the Greek Church, Protestants, and Jews. The present Emperor of this heterogenius family is FrancisJoseph I, born in 1830. His son, the young and talented Crown Prince Rudolph, was recently betrothed to the daughter of the King of Belgium Since 1866 Austria has been deprived of the nominal leadership of Germany, which Prussia has now taken. Hungary, a great and proud and powerful division of the Empire, bas now its own self-government, under the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary. The united Empire is one of the most important in Europe. It possesses a great and welldrilled army. Its products are varied, und large portions of its area are exceedingly fertile. For centuries it has had a proud history, and has held itsWf with haughty and imperial pride. The young Crown Prince promises to be a man who will wisely mid skillfully manage tie great country of which, some day, he will be the head. The various elements of which the 'Empire is composed will render this far from easy, as they have occasioned difficulties in the past, but this young scion of the proud old house of the Hapsburgs, with wise advisers, may : succeed, notwithstanding the gloomy fore- bodings of some prophets of our day, in cementing them in lasting union. From the very first day of our arrival in Bohemia snd st Prague, 1 felt as if 1 hsd entered upon one of the most interesting ified with each succeeding day of our stay Here for centuries, —from days now li«hted by faint taper gleams ofhistoric record have been enacted some of the most important acts in the gieut drama of European growth and developement. Prague stands in the clear light of our modern day, like some mighty tablet or chronicle in stone, of olden times, on which the records nf vanished centuries hnve been written. On crumbling walls, in dimly lighted ancient streets and lanes, in huge palaces and towering dome." and towers, one traces the mighty and solemn characters of this story of the ages. Prague is beuulilully situated on the Moldau, which divides the city into two Its inhabitants are Germans portions. (Austrians) sod Bohemians or Czechs, who are of Slavonic origin. The two languages, Bohemian and German are in use, and from the first you are struck by the signs, and notices and placards and newspapers in both languages. '1 he city is like so many of the European cities, being now much improved; new streets are being opened and old ones widened. The evident desire of the people in many parts of Europe to creep out of the old und diny portions of their ancient cities into more sunlight and sweeter air is a most encouraging sign and cannot be too much praised. While, however, the traveler prefers to have his hotel in the modern part of an old world city, he, as a genenl rule, spends a large portion of his rambling time in just those fascinating historic nooks, and uncomfortable streets and dingy by-ways where he would scarcely like to live. And this is most true of Prague, one of the most intensely absorbing cities, in all the world for any one of antiquarian taste.. AN ANCIENT JEWISH CEMETERY. Nothing in all this city of multitudiness memories is more impressive and singular than the history of the Jewish portion of its population, Indeed, the Jews are the most astonishing riddle of our day. You need to live but a very short time in Europe, certainly in Germany to feel this. You cannot crush them if you would. Should you endeavor to do this, as certain named and unchristian people would now do, and have tried to do for centuries, you would find them more than a match for you. After ages ol of bitpersecution terest and most unrelenting persecution and from assailants immensely superior in numbers ; after attacks by fire and sword, followed by the pitiless hate and contempt of hostile nations which has not yet died out ; after all this, and infinitely more besides, tbis little handful of an exiled and homeless race, rises undaunted and victorious, and throws the gauntlet back in the face of its opponents. Ihe are the moneykings of the earth ; they furnish many of the cleverest writers ot our times—they are invading all branches of literature and of art, of politics, and have a key ready at hand for all opposing doors and barriers. What is the end to be f What mission has this people from the East in the future civilization of the West ? For one, I confess they, and their past and their future, would be to me a Sphinx with closed lips, were it not for the illumined page of pro- — — continuation of that policy which so many there are just at present A broader endeavoring to inaugurate. charity, and a heartier spirit of toleration, would, I am convinced, more quickly lead them to a belief in Him, whom we call our Head and Leader, aud yet who was on earth a Jew. The Jews have been for many centuries in Prague, and there are at the present day about twenty thousand living there. There is a part of the city colled the Jewish Quarter, which cannot fail to interest the majority of travelers. Here, the poorer portion of the Jewish population live, there domain however having been invaded in the course of time by many Christians, still poorer. In the very heart of the city, surrounded by crowded and narrow streets, is an ancient Israelilish burial ground, which is amon"; the most remarkable antiquities of Bohemia, and even of Europe Yon would find a guide almost necessary to lend you there, so hidden away, is it in this singular labyrinth of lanes and dwellings. I remember we visited it first towards evening ; the cominp twilight seemed singularly in harmony with the strange old place. The streets were filled with people of the poorer classes, of women holding children, and chatting in groups; of men talking after the work of the day; of the out-door life which floods the poorer streets of a city on a summer evening. From this city of the living we passed to that of the dead, from the murmur and babel of human speech, the mingled cries and laughter of the crowd outside to the solemn hush and stillness within, the quietness of death and the past. 1 have visited many cemeteries, (since, for me, they have a singular fascinabut 1 have never seen nor expect to see anything again quite like this. At first I scarcely could recognize it as a resting place of the departed. About us were huge masses of stone, forming rough and singular mounds or ridges. It seemed like some strange geological formation, struck out in great hot waves in some long ago period of the earth's wild passion of growth, and then grown still and cold, like a frozen sea, with after ages. Or. as if here had once stood some sione built city, which had been thrown doun by the shock of an earthquake, and left shattered in ruins. But as the eye grows wonted to its surroundings you find that you are encircled by hundreds, by thousands ot ancient burial stones, which lie heaped and crowded upon one another in strange confusion, layer after layer. The ground is sown with them, so thickly that in some places there seems to be scarce room for a blade of grass in the spring to unfold its message of hope and the resurrection. About you on every side, are long rows and ridges of these huge ungainly stones, so old and bowed by the centuries that they appear to huddle together for support. You feel that they fill the the ground beneath your feet, down, down in long funeral strata, raising the surface of the cemetery many feet above its old level till you stand now far higher than those who came here to mourn a thousand years and more ago. And here, where they have found room, trees,alders and others, have grown over this stony foundsamong them, by a �THE FiIIEND, tion, and stand now as shadowy, solemn guardians of these ancient precincts, and in company with these, vines and creepers, and all manner of wild undergrowth which seem to love such spots, and gray mosses and pale, ghostly lichens have framed this strange, ancient picture, in a wild fantastic setting You could scarcely wish for, or imagine a stranger, more weird nook than this old Jewish Burial Ground. And here for many ages the Jews of Prague have laid away their dead and raised these stones to their memory, which later ages come to read and wonder nt. Tradition says that after the destruction of Jerusalem under the Romans, some of the wanderers and fugitives reached this distant land, and here made their home on the shores of the Moldau. Just when this cemetery was first used, it is scarcely possible now to say; but there is a grave stone still to be seen here, the oldest of all now known, the date upon which, in the Hebraic reckoning answers to the year 606 of the Christian eru. Over the grave of Sara, wife of the Aronite Joseph, nearly thirteen centuries have passed ! How much of history has been lived since these "strangers in a si range land " laid one of their little company away here to rest, lar from the hills of Judea, and that loved home in the East And here with the succeeding centuries they brought their dead, but about a hundred years ago they were f.rbidden to do so by the Emperor, and since then this strangely, interesting spot has been left as we see it today. The stones are of all kinds, from those of the humblest members of the-fraternity up to those marking the spot where some ennobled Jew or distinguished Rabbi, or scholar famous for Ins Talmudic knowledge is laid. They are carved sometimes with various symbols, a pitcher designates the tribe of Levi, two hands that of Aaron, etc. As we wandered about in the cemetery we could hear the sinning of a number of Jewish young men and boys, who were practicing under a chorister near by. With the gathering twilight, the shadows and memories of the place,and the music, ol the sweet, clear voiced singers, one could scarcely fail to be touched nnd moved. There are several synagogues in Prague, but the most interesting is the so-caled AltelNeuSchule. It is situated near the cemetery of which I have been speaking, and with it is said to be some thirteen centuries old. One could easily believe this, looking at its time-stained walls. Here in the fourteenth century, S fearful tragedy was enacted. In this synagogue, hundreds of Jews were killed by the Christians—men, women and children,—at that terrible time when so many Jews were murdered in different parts of Europe On the gloomy, dusky walls, our old guide pointed out ugly 1 spots which he said were the blood felt glad to be out of this dark, dreary building, tottering with age, black and smokestained It seemed as if the cries of the murdered women and children rang in it still. stains! — HUSS AND JEROME, " Two of the greatest harbingers of the Reformation," lived and preached, and bore faithful witness to the truth in Prague. In the old University of the City, Hus» was Professor. Bohemia is once more Catholic, and only n little company of the followers of NOVEMBER, Huss still remain. We found out their little church and exchanged a few friendly words with the faithful head of the little flock. You know the story of those great and grand martyrs who sealed their testimony in the flumes. It is a story one can well afford to re-read and ponder. Here, in Prague, their old home, one seems to feel the might of their presence still. But more yet in Constance, where we were privileged lately to be, and to stand with reverent thought and uncovered head, nenr the spot where flames bore them as in chariots of fire to lhat glory in which they now dwell. We saw here, too, the beautiful Rhine, at its issuing from Lake Constance, upon whose waters the ashes of these faithful servants of God were cast, not to be lost in the hurrying tide, but to incite to high and holy effort men of other ages and other lands, eveu beyond an intervening ocean. Prague witnessed their life, and Constance their death. Living and dying, in Bohemia or far away toward the foot of the Alps, they were heroes, of whom the world should be proud. HEIGHTS." Wander where you will in the old city of Prague, you find the foot-prints of men famous in history. One could linger long here with delight. One day we spent in a part of the city where the ancient palace, cathedral and other important buildings are situated. This portion of Prague is built on a height commanding a superb view of the remainder of the city and the Moldau, and with its splendid medieval edifices and ext usive fortifications, presents Here is the n magnificent appearance. ancient Headschin, or capitol of Prague. Part of this is formed by the cathedral, begun in the fourteenth century. In one of this are preserved the crown the and other insignia of Bohemia. In speaking of these to us, the Sucristan expressed something of that unrest and dissatisfaction which exists without doubt among the real Bohemians, or Czechs. They want the old glory of their kingdom revived, and to have the Austrian Emperor crowned King of Bohemia, as lie is King of Hungary. I scarcely think they will gain this at present, if ever In the Burg, or Imperial Palace, completed by Maria Theresa, is shown the room, from a window, of which Count Thuru caused " two Imperial counselors, Mahuiiiz and Slawatu, to be precipitated, which was the immediate occasion of tli- thirty years war." I looked out of the old window, set with quaint, round panes of glass, down, down, and grew dizzy with looking and thinking of this terrible leap. Not very lar away, further up the hill, is a Capuchin Monastery, where two brothers showed us the relics and treasures of the Monastery and a bedizence chapel, a copy of the pilgrimage chapel of St. Loutto One of them was a fine, manly looking fellow, of about thirty, with a noble head and great blonde beard rising above his cowl, his ignorance and innocence would have touched you. I presume he knew nothing of the world outside of the little country village near by where he was born, and the Convent where, unless some revolution comes, he will die. Of till that lay outside of this he seemed to yearn to know, and especially he asked us " ON THE 83 188 0. about tfie ocean, which he had never seen. I remember his last question was •' Have " Asked you ever seen a storm at sea ? with the eagerness of a boy of ten ! At the Abbey of titration, the same day, we saw one of the finest libraries, as concerns arrangement, 1 have seen in Europe. This splendid Abbey, with its beautiful and costly church, belongs to the wealthy Premonstrateusian Order. It is u stately structure, and grandly plnretl on the heights above the city. In the church are the tombs of St. Norbert and Pappenheim, who fell at Lutzen in 1632. One of the brothers of the Order showed us with great courtesy and politeness the really splendid library here gathered. There, are thirty brothers in the Abbey, and if they look at all like the smiling, cheerful gentleman who, elegant in flowing robes of white Cashmere, and with carefullyoiled locks, accompanied us, they must differ somewhat from the usual idea entertained of the worn and uscetic inmates of Convent cells. From these "upper points of view." where we now are. the picture before us is one which must move and delight everyone permitted to come here at any time ol the tiny, and especially at sunset. We are surrounded by magnificent edifices, palaces, churches, convents, fortifications, which rise from amidst masses of foliage and shrubbery in the valleys between them. As the eye wanders down the slopes, it meets with other palaces—those of Wallenstein and other famous heroes of history—and lofty churches ; and then comes the Moldau—if seen at evening, flowing like some luminous, fiery river beneath its ancient and imposing bridges, decorated with massive and grand groups of statuary. And then still further on the remainder of the city is seen. In the centre rises the old Teytikirche. once the church of the Hussites, aud now of the Catho ics, and which contains the tombstone of the celebratsd Danish astronomer (Tyche Brunei, who died in 1601 ; and near this the Ratlihiins, in front nf which, "in 1621, twenty-seven of the leaders of the Protestants —most of them Bohemian nobles— were executed." Side by side with spires of Christian churches may be noticed the bulbous domes of the Hebrew Synagogues. It is a wonderful, glorious view ! But I have been telling you of much that is sad. Hut it is the story. History and the old streets told to me here in Prague. I wish it micht be otherwise, but neither you nor I can change the past, much as we would like so to do. The tragic records of persecutions, of martyrdoms, of war and pestilence, are written in bold letters, and are the first which meet us when we look back over the way our race has so long been walking down t" the present. There have been sorrow and misery, terrible beyond words, in this old city of Prague ; and the heart aches at the thought of it, and the lip quivers in the telling. But I love to think too of all the joy there has been, the wealth of family happiness in those thousands of homes, nestling under the crags where the citadel clings. And if so much of bitterness and sadness has here blighted and dimmed the beauty of life, God grant that this may now be buried with the past, and that here the the blessings of a lasting peace may abide �84 I II X FRIEND, NOVEMBER. on Protestant and on Catholic, on Christian ancient history joined their forces here to and on Jew. impress the wondering visitor of a later day !

It would seem as if nature and coffin laid away in the sad twilight of this Italian Sylvio Pellico, whose pathetic and melancholy story of his dreary captivity has touched so many readers of " I miei, Pritrione," passed eight long, weary years. On our way from Dresden to Prague, we saw another "prison-house," that of Cola di Rienzi, "the ißStof the Tribunes." who was confined in the Castle of Kaudnitz in lIJSO. These prisons and dungeons sadden the fair and beautiful landscape. I rejoice that our century is leveling them, sweeping their gloom away, and making more room for wheat fields, for human happiness and hope.

It is scarcely a pleasant place to linger ; but before going out again into the morning sunshine, we look for a few moments at one more casket covered with wreaths and palm-branches, and which bears the name of poor Emperor Maximilian, of Mexico One of the wreaths, we are told, was plnced there by his widow, the unfortunate Empress Carlotta, whose jrrief at her husband's sad and terrible end clouded her reason, and who now lives an uncrowned Empress and melancholy mourning widow, near her brother, the King of Belgium. In the Imperial Treasury are to be seen the crown jewels—a glittering array which is not surpassed by the imprisoned fires" of the green vaults of Dresden. But more than anything belonging to the Hapsburg Family, one or two other treasures here carefully preserved attracted my attention.

CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN GERMANY. Having been detained longer than we anticipated in the German Capital on the morning of July 9th, we hurried away at an early hour, over the broad and level Brandenburg plains for Central Germany. We longed once more to look out upon hills und mountains. We were soon .fully gratified by such a glorious prospect as the Thuringian Forest region of Germany afforded. Green hills, harvest-covered fields, wooded mountains, seemed to our delighted gaze never more exquisitely and mosaically spread out for a charming landscape view. The bright July sky, with all its over-shadowing clouds, only heightened the grand prospect. Our earth may present in many parts beautiful scenery and grand view*, and it has been our privilege to see many of them in various lands under most favorable circumstances; but that prospect from the summit of the elevation, upon which Wartburg Castle stands, where Luther was imprisoned by his friends, certainly equals anything in the way ol landscape scenery we ever viewed. But we are too much carried away with our contemplation of the country to note certain incidents of our journey. Our first stopping place was at Wittenburg, and a visit to the old Monastery where Luther found the Bible, on opening which the text caught his eye:—'The just shall live by faith,"—and he was led to strike the key-note of the Reformation. Of course we visited the old convent with all its reminders of the great Reformer,—the church on the where he nailed his " 9r> doors,—the church where the Communion was celebrated, and was partaken of in both kinds by the people, while just outsideof the city walls the spot is pointed out where Luther burnt ihe Pope's Bull. At present, Wittenburg is a most quiet, sleepy, and unlively city, especially in a hot July day. Hence, as the sun declined, wo hurried away to the busy, stirring and lively Univer•ity-town of Halle, where eight hundred students resort. A thriving business is in progress, and everything and everybody seem awake and alive,—buildings are going up and trade is prosperous. We had hardly time to brush off" the dust of travel, ere a friend, Professor Frausse, whose acquaintance we had formed in Berlin, met us and proposed s row upon the river Saale, which appears to be a most favorite resort of the students and inhabitants of Haile. The evening was most favorable, and the numerous boats on the river, with their gay lanterns and lively boating songs, indicated that while the inhabitants of Halle might work by day, they were fond of evening 1880.

The last month has added another to the long list of sudden surprises, which make the life and history of these Is.lands so full ol romantic interest. On the removal of Moreno from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior took his place, ad interim. Many measures were adopted, and many appointments to public office were made, to say the least, of questionable propriety. But the Ministry, even sooner than was expected, found themselves involved in inextricable difficulties in the line of policy they were pursuing with such infatuation. Fortunately the facts were made public in time to give the opportunity and hope of rectifying the blunder they had made, be/ore irreparable injury had been done. The upshot of the late political coup d'etat is the dismissal of every member of the late Cabinet, and the appointment of Hon. W. L. Green ns Minister of Foreign Affairs, with the Premiership; Hon. H. A. P. Carter, Minister of the Interior, and Hon. J. S. Walker, Minister of Finance. With men of such ability and standing, in the administration of the Government, deservine the confidence and support of every friend of Hawaiian nationality and prosperity, it will not be long, we trust, before this Kingdom will recoup, and her political affairs be in a far more healthful condition, as the ultimate consequence of suffering for the last two months such political embar- One of the most grievous mistakes in the line of policy, pursued by the late Ministry, and their advisers and supporters, was the utterly unfounded and generous assertion, that it was the color of their skin, and not the character of their actions, which was the real ground of opposition to them and to their policy and measures. To be lured to destruction by plausible vidians has been the sad fate of nations as well as individuals; for human nature is weak, and people can easily be cajoled into accepting that which suits their prejudices. Mere flatterers or favorites are not true friends. We are sure it needs only some sharp prick of adversity, some brief experience of trouble, to convince this Hawaiian people that their true friends are those who advise such actions as will not interfere with the maintenance of mutual respect and sympathy, nor in any way trespass on the right of others. An infidel social science considers inequality the great curse of humanity, and would drag down everything that is high and honorable to its own base level of sloth and sensuality. Christian benevolence, on the other hand, is the unstinted giving of aid and comfort to help every one rise to higher and higher position through higher and higher worthiness. < Mr. Bowser's new book, entitled The Hawaiian Kingdom Statistical and "Commercial Directory, and Tourists' Guide," has lately been issued. It contains a full and exhaustive index ofthe business ofthe Islands, as well as of its foreign population. To Honolulu merchants it must be indispensible. We heartily welcome this valuable book.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 45 A CITY OF GREAT MEN. You know, dear Friend, I have been from the first a rambler, jotting down pictures and experiences of travel, without very much order or sequence; and availing myself of your always kind and encouraging permission, 1 have taken you hither and thither, without much regard to geographical limitations and distances. And now lam going to be more presumptuous than ever, and ask you to wander a little while with me in various nook, and places, which have nothing at all to do with the countries of which I have been talking of late, but which in their own way, will each have something of interest for you, I trust. It is something of a leap from Old England to Central Germany, from the turbulent activity and many-voiced life of mighty London, to the dreamy peacefulne.s and summer-hush of Weimar, whose past gives life to its present, and where you keep company with the dead, rather than with the living; but this leap I am going to ask you to make. (Would that all our leaps had as pleasant an ending as this !! Goethe, whose fine perception of the beautiful no one would I think doubt, came to Weimar in the first flush of hi. splendid young manhood and .tayed—fifty years and more. There were many circumstances which led to this, but not the least, was, I am convinced the exquisite natural beauty of his surroundings. I first visited Weimar some two or three years ago, and in the very heart of winter; and I enjoyed the old Ducal capital then, but far more a week or two since, seeing it tbis time in the perfection of mid-summer beauty. Weimar, would have held always undoubtedly an eminently respectable place in German annals, but beyond these comparatively unknown to the world, had not the Grand Duke, Carl Augu.t, towards the close of the last century, had the wisdom, skill, and good taste to draw about him some of the greatest men of letters, of his own or any time. Through this happy fact, his capital has come to be one of the Meccas of Germany and of the world, immortalized through the names of those who here lived and wrote and died, and made of it a center of poetic inspiration for the time in which they lived. Every one is familiar with the exquisite picture which Lewe. in his " Life of Goethe" paints of Weimar in �74 111 t the last century, portraying the animated and vigorous intellectual life of the Court of Carl August, which though one of the very smallest of Europe, was al the same time the most interesting in many ways. Goethe, as you will remember, was for a number of year, one of the cabinet minister, in thi. diminutive realm. Hi. name alone would be of importance enough to give any place celebrity, but Weimar wa. at the same time the home of Herder, of Wieland, of Schiller, ■and of a brilliant circle besides. In this charming court the Duke and Duchess did the honors as host and hostess, as pstron and patroness of letters, of science, and all the arts, with not only the refinement of birth and training, but with the higher grace, of sympathetic feeling and intellectual merit. It wis a unique and remarkable spectacle thi. tiny realm, with most nf the titles and appurtenances of an empire, this school of poetry and the fine arts, with royal fosterparents, this grouping of great men and clever and fascinating women. It was a period of brilliant bloom and splendid fruit- age, and though oftentimes excessive snd extravagant in certain phases of its development, was after all the very golden era of German literature. Weimar is a charmingly irregular old town, with here and there open "Places," surrounded with quaint and antique buildings, and beautified with many statues and memorial monuments. The lsrge park which sweeps about one side of it, and wanders in a delightful way up near to the homes of the perfple, gives great beauty to the place. This is the park which the Grand Duke and Goethe and all the friends liked so well, and which to my fancy seems to be more alive with memories of them, than the old stone houses and palaces which are shown you here. There is within this verdant world a white cottage covered with climbing roses, where Goethe loved most of all to live, Away from men and where he drew in long drafts of inspiration from the beautiful scenes about him. 1 wonder if in a dumb, dim way, the trees and the meadows and the gently murmuring river llm, flowing onward through the forest, do not miss their old friend and lover. Certainly this wss the very home for a poet. As we stand before it for a little while in the early summer twilight, we do not wonder at hi. choice. Full hearted roses, open lavishly their stores of beauty to us. The air is perfumed with the faint odor of new-mown-hay, which lies in long golden drifts between us snd the river. To right snd left stretches away a broad open road, which leads off to the world, which just now doe. not claim us. but which it is well after all to know exists. Behind and before are the woods, with their shadowy depths and tremulous lights, and above a summer sky fading through a thousand marvels of light and tinting into the twilight and the night. Following the road (till further on, we come to the royal chateau of Belvedere, which commands a fine view of the surrounding picturesque country. From this point to the town in the plain below, leads sway one of the finest avenue. 1 know of in Europe. The house, where Goethe and Schiller lived, with various relic, of them both are .till preserved. Goethe's wss a fine impos- FRIEND, OCTOBER I*Bo ing mansion befitting a minister of the Grand Duke. And after seeing where they lived, when here among men, you can also see where their bodies have been placed now that ihe spirits have flown. The beautiful old cemetery where they are entombed with t«ken the train thither, had time for saun- tering and driving in its winding streets and were back again with our friends in the German Athens, before the clock in the old church tower had decided to strike the hour of ten. Early as we started, the sun was ahead of us, and was sending lor.g slant arrows of light through the fields of summer grain and over the grassy slopes still silvered with the moist touch of the night. Men stood in the fields ready for the peaceful campaign of the day, and as we swept by, leaned for a moment in unconscious grace on the long handle of their fresh whetted scythes, which should before the twilight lay low the gleaming ranks of grain. The birds too were awake before us, and sang in answering chorus to the low murmur of insectlife and rustling leaves, the morning hymn of nature and the country. Our road grew more and more picturesque as we advanced, rising from rolling wave-like fields to lofty hills with wooded slopes. Jena lies in a graceful amphitheatre of hills, which serve as an exquisite setting for the grey towers, venerable with age, and the high and pointed red-tiled rools of the little town in the valley beneath. It seems sadly inappropriate, that this peaceful town, devoted to the arts and the sciences, should have given its name to that fierce battle-field near by, rendered celebrated through the fierce contest waged there between the French and Prussians so many long years ago. But no echo of this seems now to survive here. Jena has been the seat of a renowned university for more than three centuries, which still occupies an honorable place in Germany, famed for its institutions of learning. There is a charmingly primitive appearance about the town, its streets and ancient houses, extending even to its well-kept garden, and arching avenues. We found Jena slowly coming back to life, after the rest of the night. The good citizens tarried for a moment in their blossoming gardens, where white lilies lifted their head, coronetted with rain-drops, and then went forth for the more resolute action of daily business. School children came up the street with bags of books on their arms and smiles on their faces. Here and there a student passed on to an early lecture. In Jena still stand, the old inn of"The Bear," where Dr. Martin Luther after his "Patmos Exile" on the Wartburg, tarried while on hi. way to Wittenberg. It was here, that that very interesting conversation was held by him with certain Swiss students, of which we find so quaint and entertaining an account in the old churches. There is a delightful old custom in Jena which I wish might be copied in other university and college towns. When any fludent of the university, who has passed out into active life, has done anything to honor himself and hi. Alma Mater, hi. name is placed in a little tablet on the house where he lodged while here. You walk here as it were through a gallery of celebrated names. We found a keen enjoyment in thus tracing down through centuries, famous and now historic names to these simple and unpretentious student homes, ft was in a certain way, to have these men, some of whom have had their names long starred among the immortals, back again with us in the freshness, some of the grand dukes, ha. a certain charm and interest, even if melancholy. You would find the plain tomb by passing down the main avenue, where the linden trees meet nnd entwine like a gothic arch. In the early morning the place is vocal with birds. Herder', statue stands appropriately before the massive ancient church where he preached, near which he lived and died, and in whose nave he lies buried, beneath a slab bearing his motto, Licht, Liebe. Leben, (Life, Love. Life). In another street you would find the house of Wieland. The Ducal palace is an immenseaffair near the river and the park, very grand in its way, but nevertheless, we are told, Goethe's friend, the Grand Duke, preferred getting away from it to the poet's cottage with its roses and the society of its owner. If the poets have been the glory of Weimar—Weimar acknowledge, this in many grateful, reverent ways. But in no more graceful way than in those exquisite rooms in the palace, ornamented with paintings illustrating the works of those who have contributed most to the renown of the town. Facing the principal court, there is a charming balcony, festooned with the most perfect wreaths of natural ivy, which makes of the place a sort of bower, and which date from Goethe's day. This was one of his favorite nooks. I would not advise any driving business man, whose time is limited, to come to Weimar. I think an inforced stay of a few hours would render him insane. It is the quietest of quiet places, a delicious place for revery and dreaming and everything of that kind; but the people there have a ghostly way of flitting about like figures in a dream. A solitary soldier in flaming uniform, crosses the "Place" and then fades away you scarcely know how. Women fill their immense bucket, at the quaint fountain, surmounted by a lazy lion in stone, gazing patiently forward, and then depart in long lines like those weary of life. And the withered old lady with her stores of summer sweetness, gathered into purple plums and downy peaches, waits at the corner for buyers who never come. But as 1 was saying, it is a place of the dead and not of the living. Come here with this idea and you will never weary of the place; you learn to love it, for what it once was, and hence, in a certain way eternally is; for its memories, not its hopes; for its streets where great men walked, for the graves where they lie. early morning in an old university town. Some places are, like flowers seen at their best " with the dew on them." While others, as certain busy marts ofCommerce and traffic, should never be visited in the early morning, but only in the rush and tumult of high noon. To the first class 1 am persuaded the peaceful old university town of Jena belongs. At least, seeing it the other morning in those sweet, fresh hours of the day, when a large part of the world is asleep, and finding it so winningly beautiful, I have been led to this conclusion. Though Jena lie. some miles away from the town of Weimar, we had in the hopefulness, in th* bloom of their �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, young manhood, with brow, showing the crown of genius, unhidden by the laurel chaplets, yet to be placed there by the world. It was a goodly company; and the day seemed to grow the brighter tor these names, written in plain letters on white walls, circled by wreaths of vines and summer verdure. I noticed those of Novalis, of. sacred memory, Klopstork, Goethe, Schiller, and a host of others, dear to all German hearts. Here in Jena, Goethe wrote his exquisite poem "Hermann and Dorothea," and Schiller "Wallenstein." If you find memories and names, you find also statues in bronze and marble, looking out from amid the shelter and embrace of drooping trees. The little town university does not. forget the sons who have gathered here strength for the work and mission of life: And the work still goes forward here. As we stood for a moment under the elms near the university, we could hear the words of some lecturer, unfolding truths new and old to his listening students. Pleasantest of all, however, of the innocent sensations of this early morning visit, was that afforded us by a little troop of choir boys who crossed our path. The good old custom still survives here, (so well known in Luther's days), of permitting the choir boys to sing in the village streets. I quite forgot the century and felt as if Martin Luther, the sweet boy chorister of Eisenach, and his little companions, were singing for us. They all wore solemn little cloaks of biack, their black hats also brought their sweet pale faces into pathetic relief, for ynu saw and felt that they ate the hard bread of charity. But how they sang! The morning air seemed vibrant with delicious melody, and the bird, hushed their songs in the trees. You would have wondered with me at the exquisite training of these young voices and at their fine rendering of old German songs and chorals. We heurd them in delighted surprise and these hymns of the early morning, sung by these young musicians who seemed to come to us as a vision of the middle ages, vanishing again, have echoed in our hearts ever since. But if we tarry too long we fear the dew will vanish, and perhaps with it the charm of the place and so "good, morning" to Jena! A MEMORABLE BATTLE-FIELD. Leipsic is an interesting and animated city, one of the most enterprising business centers in Europe, for centuries attracting buyers and sellers from all parts of the world. from the far east and south, to its spring and autumn fairs, the greatest book emporium in the world, possesses an ancient and renowned university, and is famous for its musical advantages; but though interested in all these points, the principal objects which attracted my attention in a recent visit to this bustling city were those connected with that great battle which occurred near Leipsic in 1813 and invaded these now peaceful streets. Every school boy has, I imagine, fought out in fancy the battle of Waterloo which occurred two year, later. I had the pleasure, a melancholy pleasure however, last summer of standing on the memorial bill, crowned by its crouching lion, and of surveying this great historic field where Napoleon's sun went down. I am not quite sure whether the field of Leipsic is as familiar to all, and 75 1880. yet the battle here waged wss the most prolonged and sanguinary which history records. Troubled as our own day still is with wars and rumors of wars, we can scarcely now have an idea of the great storm waves the restless genius and insatiable ambition of Napoleon raised in Europe in the early part of this century. They rose into a wild burst of tempestuous fury during those four terrible days from 16th to 19th October, ISI3, when nearly half a million of men met in fearful combat within sight of the churchspires of Leipsic. It seems almost incredible that such numbers could have been gathered together, yet history records that on the side of the allies in this "Battle of the Nations," were 300.000 men. Napoleon had something like 150,000 troops. The allies consisted of the Russians, Aostrians, Prussians. The place where the tragedy of these four bloody days was enacted, is admirably adapted to serve as a field for the handling of such immense bodies of men. It is less beautiful and picturesque than Waterloo, which possesses more elevated points. But it would seem almost as if in mine way this great plain stretching away for mdes had been created for some such purpose, as that which gives it such celebrity in history. On a slight elevation to the south, Napoleon had taken his position and watched the progress of the battle from this point. Surrounded by these golden fields of ripening grain, stretching far away to the verdant groupings of trees Nearer the city, rejoicing in all this summer beauty, in the blue of the afternoon sky, in the prosperous scenes of country life, in a thousand tokens of peace and plenty, I found it far from easy to realize that so many thousands here suffered and died on the very ground 1 was standing. There seemed a mute protest in this loveliness of the natural world against the passion, the blood-thirstiness, the revenge, the ambition of men. A shadow for the moment seemed to come across the shining of the sun, as I thought of the agony, of the wailing, of the woe of those autumn days, of all those maimed bodies which were laid away under these same gleaming harvest-fields, of the blood which stained the soil about me. Thousands and thousands died here. This lovely country is one vast burying-ground, and you almost ilreati to part the standing grain, and gather the field-daisies and poppies, for fear somewhere not far below lie hideous relics of the ghastly conflict. A maimed and crippled soldier who was wounded in the Danish war some years ago, act. as our guide. On a height facing the Napoleon-hill far away in the blue distance, the then monarchs of Russia, Austria and Prussia, met to give thanks for their victory. The spot is marked by an obelisk. Our soldier friend is a cheery fellow, with all his troubles. He and bis good frau live in a little cottage near by, and to every new comer they tell over the story of the battle, which they have learned by heart. They show you bone, and skulls and ru.ty sword, and broken guns, and all manner of dreadful things which they have picked up here. In different parts of the field and in the woods near by are monuments to mark the spot where officers of distinction fell. Involuntarily as you wander over this storied battle-ground, you feel the presence of armed hosts, the shock of contending forces, the wild ruth ofcavalry, bear the thunder of the cannon, the cries of the victors, the groans of the dying. It all grow, fearlully real, and you are glad to find it only a fancy. But what a reality it once wa«! There is a monument to mark the spot where Napoleon stood. You see here the famous Napoleon hat copied -in bronze. Not far away is a spring now sealed over our garrulous coachman tells u. that Napoleon drank here, and that since then the water ha. poi- — soned all who have tasted it. Will you believe bis story ? There are stories and dotes without end connected with various* points. It would be interesting to tell some of them, if one had but the time. But we must leave them now and the battle-field, and be back again in Leipsic before the July sun has gone down behind the fruit trees bordering our western horizon. DRESDEN AND ITS MADONNA. Few continental cities are so well known to the Americans as Dresden, the capital ■ A kingdom of Saxony. It is a source of*sJsWi pleasure to me to think that perhaps in some chance moment, some one who ha. been in Dresden may glance at these hastily written lines, and at the sight of this city's name (so potent is the spell ol some names) recall pleasant memories of this charming city on the Elbe. The wealthy and splendor loving king, and prince, who have made their home here for centuries, have filled the city with richest stores of art, and its cabinets of jewels, its museums, its picture-gallery, attract thousand/ of visitors and admirers And then the town is delightful in itself; life is quieter here than in many larger centers, and yet the advantages for intellectual improvement, for musical culture, and for social entertainment are excellent. The neighboring country, especially up the river into the fine bold scenery of Saxon Switzerland, is in summer most admirably adapted for pleasant trip, and excursions. We found Dresden gay with all its summer life, and the usual gaiety was heightened by the fetes connected with the visit to the oty of all the fire companies of Saxony. The place was decked out with a multitude of fluttering banners and leafy garlands and festoons, which gave it a very holiday appearance. The Briihl Terrace i. a charming tree-planted promenade, stretching some distance along the Elbe. On a summer evening, a.the sun is going down, a .troll is delightful here. The air is filled with the music of bands on both side, of the river, and the walks are crowded with people enjoying the evening air. How Germany and the visitor, to Germany enjoy the beauty of summer when it at last comes, for its coming i. often late. From the terrace the river crossed by massive and ancient stone bridges, and the city beyond with spire, and domes, come finely into view. The Elbe grows softly flushed with the waning light, which is deepened into rich shadow, under the great arches of the bridges, and if you wait a little longer, the moon comes up full orbed from behind the wooded hills, and makes of the city and its river a silvery picture. An enumeration of the various objects and points of interest to be seen in Dresden would, in the brief space allowed me, be impossible, even were such an enumeration de- �76 I II X sirable. You would find much to interest you in the famous "green vaults" beneath the palace, where the costliest and rarest treasure.are gathered,and yet your pity rises with your interest as you survey these accumulation, of material wealth. Their owners have passed way one generation after another, and these carven ivory trinkets, these gold and crystal goblets, these marvels of workmanship in silver and precious stones, gathered here in such lavish abundance; seem to serve as a pathetic commentary on all thing, earthly and human. The crown and other jewels are among the finest known, end are valued at fabulous sums. One learn, in the midst of such rare gems to appreciate the beauty of those subtle and delicate manifestation, of color and brilliancy, which seem to belong to genuine precious stone, as perfume to certain fragrant woods. The library ol Dresden is one of the finest in Europe, and in the collections of antiquities and especially in the admirably arranged rooms appropriated to armor you hours. might spend many most The central point of infßßhowever of the city is its superb Picture Gallery, which is one of the artistic glories of Germany and Northern Europe. Few if any galleries of the old world possess so many paintings familiar to visitors from the other side of the Atlantic a. this in Dresden. There is a delightful sensation on seeing the originals of these paintings, which from childhood have been known to you through engravings or other reproductions. You would find here Corregio's "Holy Night." that most beautiful of paintings'in which it would seem as if a celestial light streamed from the form nf the infant Christ; also the famous "Magdalens" of Corregio and Battoni; Titian's "Tribute Money"; Carlo Dolci'a "St. Cecilia"; splendid canvasses of Paolo Veronese; works by Rubens, by Rembrandt and a host of other celebrated painters. The especial treasure of the gallery however, is the "Sisterie Madonna," one of the masterpieces of the great Raphael,—known the world over. It is placed in a cabinet alone, and before it you always find a group of reverent and admiring visitors. There is as every one knows and feels, far too much of exaggerated artistic emotion expressed by great many travelers, and one scarcely in a healthy stale of mind at least, sympathizes with those who say that after seeing the "Sisterie Madonna," life can have nothing more in store for them. But leaving aside sUch undue and absurd feeling, we would join with those, 1 trust the large majority, who find in thi. beautiful painting of the Madonna and the Holy Child much to awaken tenderestand most reverential emotion at the thought of the subject, united with admiration of the artist's genius which has in so wonderful a manner placed the same before our human gaze. Every one is I am sure familiar with the general idea of the painting. The Madonna bearing in her arms the Infant Jesus, beneath the FRIEND, OCTOBER. I»,8 0 ceptions of the Virgin Mother and Child impress you with the beauty and fullness of the pure and unstained humanity and innocent simplicity disclosed in them. In this painting of Raphael, however, you seem to stand in the presence of a lofty spirituality. The Madonna takes her place as the most honored and exalted among her sex, and is here crowned with the beauty of a sacred maturity which if it does not raise her to the height of the Divine, seems to lift her above the level of the Human. Her eyes look filled with the glorious awe, which must have lighted those of the Hebrew maid bending before the Angel of the Annunciation and which shone still through the mother's tears at the foot of the uplifted Cross. And yet the Mother of our Lord, the kneeling saints, the cherub worshipers, the countless angelic throng, dawning faintly like stars in the misty cloud-depths of the back-ground, fade away before the Lord Himself, no less Divine because He bore the vesture of our weak Humanity, and rose through all the stages of our growth from clinging infancy great pity that the education of deserving Hawaiian youth abroad was not entrusted to the Board of Education under suitable regulations, not committed to such a notorious adventurer as C. C. Moreno. Under suitable condition, the experiment might have proved a brilliant success; now, we can only forebode a disgraceful failure. MARINEJOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU. S. I.

The weather has been unexceptionally good, thus affording a rare opportunity for visiting places of historic interest, including Potsdam, so intimately associated with Frederick the Great and those renowned characters of the eighteenth century who graced his court and rendered his reign among the most renowned in history of the sovereigns of modern Europe. It is quite noteworthy, that while revolution has succeeded revolution, yet the reigning sovereigns of the successive governments have preserved intact the old palaces, and theinarecal furniture and adornments, so that the visitor ot the closing years of the nineteenth century can walk through halls and courtly apartments, just as they are left by the kit gs and queens of former ages. The very playthings and toys of Frederick the Great, not omitting his "little boots" and drum when a lad, are now on exhibition, while room after room is to be seen filled with the furniture and robes of both kings and queens who have long since surrendered their thrones to their successors. On this account Berlin is a most interesting city to visit. But forsaking thepast, the living present is equally interesting. The month of June, 1880, is especially noteworthy in Berlin for having witnessed the Fishery Exhibition. At first thought one might ask, what of interest could be awakened in the general public by an exhibition of this nature? A person had only to walk through the halls and rooms devoted to an exhibition of the wonders of the deep, and he would not ask the question a second time. The words of the psalmist come to mind, as a visitor examines the rare pearls, the innumerable species of fish, the strange monsters, the beautiful corals, and the endless variety of unknown creatures that find their home beneath the surface of the ocean : "O Lord, how manifold Commercial & Statistical are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.

The reading world hasrecently been favored with a most charming book entitled "Memoirs of yon Baroness Bunsen," in whicfi is depicted with rare and delicate ability by Julius Hare the home life o( the yon Bunsen'family. It is such a volume as we should be glad' to learn was read in every family of the English speaking apople throughout the world. The book was noticed some months ago in the pages of The Friend. On coming to Europe we deemed it a rare privilege to have become acquainted with members of this family, and on one occasion to have met three of the children of the Baron and Baroness, and five of their grand-daughters. EXCURSION TO HAMBURG AND BREMEN. In visiting the old world it is pleasant to meet with those in the great' commercial cities who are engaged in that department of Christian work, which for so many years has occupied our thoughts and enlisted our sympathies and prayers. When passing through Liverpool, Glasgow and London, we often conferred with those who are laboring for seamen. Since arriving in Europe we were requested to be present at Hamburg on the 21st of June, at the inauguration of the Sailors' Institute, as the representative of the American Seamen's Friend Society of New York. For many years, even for more than half a century, the Bethel Flag has been hoisted in Hamburg. The friends of the seamen's cause in that city one year ago laid the corner stone of the Sailors'lnstitute, and since then a fine building has been erected at the cost of about 810,000 upon land costing an equal amount, hence the formal opening of the institute was deemed to be an event worthy of special note. The following programme will indicate the nature of the exercises on this interesting occasion: The Inauguration of the British* and American Sailors' Institute, 29 Sandthor Quay, in connection with The British & Foreign Sailors' Society of London arid'the American Seamen's Friend Society of rtew York, Will take place at 7 p. rti.

Weideman.n, Jams! Edwards, Secretaries. The exercises proved most satisfactory to all the friends of seamen who are laboring so energetically to provide preaching and wholesome entertainment for them while ashore in this most ancient port of the old city of Hamburg, whose commerce has been in a most flourishing condition since the days of the old Hanseatic League, when Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck, and other maritime cities combined bined for the protection of commerce and against those old Vikings of the north, whose swift craft ploughed the German ocenn and occasionally made depredations upon the rich cities of Western Europe, laying them under tribute. It was a great pleasure to visit Hamburg and look out upon a place which may be well proud of its wealth and enterprise, its prosperous merchants and bold mariners. It is a beautiful city, and with its charming Alster Lake in its bosom, beautified by its swiftflying steamers and white swans with their arching necks, presented one of the most rare spectacles from the windows of "Hotel dc l'Europe," upon which we ever gazed. The environs of the city and the banks of the Elbe, adorned with the residences of the rich merchants of Hamburg, are equally beautiful. We spent a Sabbath there, and visited two of the churches built in the style of mediaeval ages, with a mixture of modern architecture. We did not omit a visit to the famous "Rauhe Hans" and Klopstock grave. But we must hurry away to Bremen. With no city of Europe have we been more familiar during the past forty years. During the early years of our labors in Honolulu, Bremen whaleships very frequently came under our notice. We account it among the very pleasant experiences of our European visit, to have been met at the railroad station by our old friends Mr. and Mrs. Hackleld, to whose kind attentions we are under the greatest obligations. We did not feel the least strangeness on thus enter- ing a city which we had never seen or visited before. We hardly know with what words to express the delightful experiences of our stay of a few days in Bremen. Honolulu and Bremen seemed strangely and delightfully mingled, while the past and the FRIEND.

Readng • At a meeting of the trustees of Kaumakapili Church held on the evening of the 28th ult., after the preliminary business was concluded, Rev. M. Kuaea, the pastor and building committee of the new church, informed the members that it was his wish and intention to confer with them in all matters relating to the building of the new edifice. After a short discussion it was carried unanimously, that the trustees should act as That an advisory committee with him. everything pertaining to the tearing down of the old, and the erection of the new building should come before them and receive their approval and sanction before entering upon the work. The trustees also have the full control of the money that has been collected, about 115,000, not a dollar of which can be paid out without their order. We hope that Mr. D. L. Moody will be able to accept the invitation of the Y. M. C. A. to come on to Honolulu, when his visit to San Francisco has been completed. He could find plenty of work to do for a while, and would undoubtedly accomplish a great deal of good here. He has been very successful elsewhere, and why should he not be here. The various churches will co-operate with him, and he will have all the assistance that the association can render. We had the pleasure of hearing him four times in the Hippodrome in New York City in 1876.

SEPTEMBER 1. 1, 1880. 1880. The Legislature was prorogued by Royal Commission Saturday Aug. 14. .It was thought that thus there had ceased to be any opportunity afforded for the evil thst may be wrought by reckless and ridiculous legislntion. There was hardly time for any feeling ofrelief in this thought, when a new turn of affairs disclosed a new danger. In a very few hours the news spread that the King had dismissed the Ministry without a moment's notice. This action was taken, as was supposed, at the instance of a notorious foreign political adventurer, who received the appointment of Minister of Foreign Relations. It was an action, on the face of it, in direct contravention of the spirit and object of the Constitution of this Kingdom. The old Ministry had given general satisfaction, and had been sustained by the expressed approval of a large majority of the Legislature. A crowded and orderly mass meeting assembled at Kautnakapili Church on Monday evening, August 16th, and by a vote of 1,500 to 26 appointed a Committee to represent to the King the sure and sad result of any unconstitutional and unpatriotic action Th 4! Committee was refused access to the Palace. Only at the demand of the foreign Diplomatic/Corps, headed by Gen. Comly, the United States Minister Resident, was the appointment of Moreno revoked, It is said that bis intimacy at tbe Palace and his interference in public affairs has not ceased. The new Cabinet is composed of men, not only without such experience in. public affairs as to secure for them the confidence of the community, but rather conspicuous for such unfitness as to give occasion for a general feeling of distrust and insecurity. terests of personal greed and'irresponsible wilfulness, or shall the eternal and irreversible principles of truth and justice be maintained in their ascendency here ? There never was a better opportunity than now, for the establishment of a healthful public sentiment on political affairs in this Kingdom. There never was such general agreement in condemnation of arbitrary and unreasonable measures. There never Was such readiness as now, for united action on the only proper basis, like convictions of duty and expediency. Let the friends of constitutional government, righteously administered, set forth in connection with some platform of political principles, what they consider to be the special objects desirable in political administration at the present time. Let them rally for the maintenance of these principles and objects from Hawaii to Niihau, both the native born and foreign born. Let the measures be adopted here by which political parties in other lands seek to attain their ends, personal influence, local associations, money contributions, printed documents, public meetings. Agitate, agitate till a healthful public sentiment is aroused, informed and inspired. With the rallying cry " Ka Pono no ko Hawaii Ponoi," " Honor and Happiness for all honest Hawaiians," why should not the friends of Hawaiian nationality successfully contend for the maintenance and the progress of free institutions in Hawaii nei. Punahou School will re-open on the first Wednesday in September. Three new teachers are expected, Mrs. Hanford of Oakland in Music; Miss Wenterof Galesbnrg in Mathematics and Literature ; Miss Royce of Oberlin in Language and Physical Sciences. Let all the friends of higher education unite in supporting and advancing the interests of this most honored and useful of all our educational institutions. Rev. W. L. Jones and Mr. F. T. Adams will continue in charge of their special departments, Philosophy and Rhetoric, Classical Languages and Literature. 65 {01bSmK,M37.. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 44 In the Lands of the Rose and the Thistle.—No. 4. out of town. London is a city which would, in a certain sense, answer to that somewhat Hibernian compliment, as being " a nice place to live out of." For interesting: as it is, and fascinating as is its multitudinous life, and instructive and profitable as are days spent amid the treasures ot the British Museum, or the beauties of the Art Galleries, one finds an almost greater pleasure in its environs, and the many delightful spots which lie near at hand, but outside of the bustle and roar of the great thoroughfares. Windsor Castle is, counting miles, not so very near the city, but the train takes you down so swifty, and through such a loveljj country that you have scarcely more than realized you have left the city, before you see the Royal Standard floating above the gray towers of the Castle. If you want a glorious view, mount up the many stairs of the great round tower, and drink in that superb view of forest land and winding river, and village dotted plain and garden-like beauty spread out before you. The Castle is most imposing—a city in itself, and a fitting home for the good Queen of so great a people. And more beautiful than almost anything 1 ever saw before, or hope to see again, is the glorious avenue of giant trees stretching away, away into the misty distance, some three miles or so, this via triumphalis ot royalty. We did not seethe Queen, this we had scarcely anticipated, but we found ample compensation in the cordial welcome from friends, in one of tbe pleasant homes of the old tower of Windsor, who bear in common with us the old family name, and who, here on English soil, in the " Old Home," greeted those returning from the other side of the world, after two centuries and more of absence. One of the name is a Master at Eton, famous for its school, lying near by, and we had a most interesting opportunity of seeing this great and historic institution. Should you find time to wander farther on, you would come to the "ivy mantled tower" of which Grey so exquisitely sings in his plaintive " Elegy." And 1 would advise you to go to charming Richmond. But of all places do not fail to see Hampton Court with its treasures of Art, and its perfect grounds, and near at hand Bushey Park. �66 THK FRIEND, SEPTEMBER. Should you see the superb avenue of stately horse chesnuts there, and in bloom of a spring evening, when the setting sun tinges those willows of waxen clusters with rosy light, and the great trees grow greater in the uncertain twilight, and seem to mingle with the clouds of the tipper sky, you would, I think, forget for the moment that life had its trials, privations its denials, and welcome and cherish the grand ho|es and ideals large and beautiful sense which the writer of any good book is a benefactor) is a friend to the world, that I venture here to speak thus publicly of the most agreeable afternoon visit we enjoyed in her home and presence at Hampstead Heath, were it for no others, I am sure it will be a pleasure for many n boy and girl, in the far nway islands of the Pacific, under tropic skies, to hear of the writer, who has charmed and delighted them which seem to be sent to you in this vision with her exquisitely natural pictures of that of beauty. But I scarcely think I need to stormy and heroic period of the Christian tell you where to go, far better than all church. guiding or direction is that subtle, someMrs. Charles lives, as I was saying in a thing like a poetic instinct, which teHs you delightful home, with a wide and inspiring oftentimes in travel, as in life, where it is view of a glorious country before her. The best to go. landscape is most beautiful, just at this And now, leaving the general, I want to point widening and deepening like some tell you of a pleasant experience of ours, huge gulf, in the tremulous broken waves of one which I should call, green. Far away in the distance, against AN AFTERNOON AT HAMPSTEAD HEATH HOME OF MRS. CHARLES It sounded simple enough ! THE The direction which was g;ven u-j. by our friend, whose house we were leaving, to find the home of a lady whom we had come out to Hampstead Heath to see. Had we not however found a rosy faced English maid, to serve as our Ariadne, I am quite afraid we should never have made our way through the labyrinth of country lanes and hedges, with their windings and turns innumerable. After London, there was something indescribably plensar.t in this glorious wealth of spring verdure, which bordered our way and wrought itself into a leafy canopy above our heads, through which the afternoon's sunshine fell in softened radiance about us. I remember we came in our walk upon a quiet burying .ground, with ancient stones, and in the center of this a square and rather angular looking church, which the ivy, clinging like a vestment, strove not wholly in vain, to beautify. You might have thought yourself hundreds of miles sway from the great city, so peaceful and still was everything. Then, after other wanderings and a superb avenue of tress bordering our way like a guard of honor, in their finest array, we came to a charming little country house, with a glorious view over the heath. We were amply repaid for our walk by the kindly smile and cordial greeting which were here awaiting us, and for which it were worth the while to come much further. The literature which has arisen in reference to that remarkable period called in History, the Reformation of Germany, with which is so inseparately connected the name of that heroic man. Dr. Martin Luther, forms a fine library in itself. It is one of those fertile themes, which seem almost exhaustless in their resources, and which find in every succeeding generation new investigators and chroniclers, still voluminous as are all these writings in various languages. I think I am quite right in saying that it was left to an English lady of our own day, to tell the grand and glowing story of the intrepid Reformer's life, to the young people of England and America. This is very much to say, but I am sure all those who know ol the wide and continued success of that most delightful of books " Chronicles of the " Schfimberg Cotta Family," will most heartily agree with me. It is because I feel that iv authoress, Mrs. Charles, (ip that the horizon is '• Harrow on the Hill," one of the famous schools for English boys, its spire just visible. Within 1 am sure you would be charmed with our hostess, a lady in middle life, with an earnest face, a voice nnd manner wholly and most agreeably quiet and moderate, and something in her way of speaking on many varied subjects which suggests the power which is iw>nifest in her writings. 1 know of no one who would shrink more than she from sitting for a newspaper photograph, and yet I have felt drawn almost unconsciously into giving it, by the thought of the sympathetic recipients of the same. Mrs. Charles lives in this delightful home, on the verdant edge of the mighty city, with her mother, a sweet and gentle lady, surrounded by her books, her flowers and those thousand attractions which moke English ' interiors" the most beautiful in the world- I have mentioned the *■ Schomberg Cotta Family," because of its being the book by which"Mrs. Charles is the best known with us, at least. One must really know Germany to appreciate it fully. I have a copy of it now, which 1 used once as a sort of delightful guide book in my rambles amid scenes which the name of Martin Luther had made famous. I know of no English book which seems so filled with the sweet, natural grace of German life and character, and the style is so true that you might indeed believe it to be a translation from some old German chronicle. There is a sort of delicious fragrance about the book, which comes to me like the scent of pines from the grand old Thurnigian forest. But besides this, you know Mrs. Charles has written many books, the titles and contents of which you are as familiar with as I am myself. Then she has written some most beautiful poems and has written with equal grace of the hymns which have grown dear to the Christian Church. She has dipped into almost every period of Christian History and found herself at home in all. Few have such a power of vivifying the past as she. And then it is not alone as the painter of history that we should prize her, but as the earnest faithful Christian woman and authoress, who holds her pen as a consecrated instrument for the great and glorious Cause, which our Lord has left to His followers to carry forward. We had the pleasure of a delightful stroll 1880. with her off on the Heath, where about us the furze was crowning itself with long golden sprays. It was. one of the fairest days of the early summer, and the whole world was in its beauty. The view of London from this point was wondrously fine. We snw it lying partly in sunshine, and partly in shade, with its thousand spires and domes rising out nl a sea of mist. And now in parting, I am sure I am but putting into words, the desires of many beside myself, when I wish all joy and gladness and blessing for our friends at Hampstead Heath. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. Mere existence at either Oxford or Cambridge must in itself be a sort of education. By a species of spiritual absorption the most inert mind must needs receive, to a certain degree, the beautifying and elevating culture which the historic and scholastic atmosphere of these venerable seats of learning seems so peculiarly adapted to convey. Leaving them this lower type of inspiration and passing to the sphere, where it is to be hoped most men are to be found, that of the wors-ers and not the drones, it will be readily perceived how grand an influence these institutions by their very presence, are capab'e of exerting upon all earnest men. There are those who can do the better work with the tones of sweet music coming to them, forming as it were a rhymic and me.odious accompaniment to their thoughts. And 1 could fancy in a somewhat similnr way, it might be possible for many men to be here stimulated to loftier thought and more poetic utterance, by the subtle power which antiquity, added to beauty of material form, seems to possess. In all the world Oxford and Cambridge are unique. You will find nothing on the continent to compare with them, and in the New World, of course, comparisons cannot for centuries be sought. You will notice that I am saying nothing in reference to the standard of education, or of the training which in the past these universities have offered or have still to offer. But that I am alluding solely to their mere shell, as it were the outside covering and adornment, which joined to a thousand classic and historic memories and associations, impresses all who are privileged to come to visit them. It would be difficult to say which were the more beautiful, Oxford or Cambridge. There are certain essential points of resemblance and yet each possesses a marked individuality. Cambridge University has the advantage of being in a far smaller town, and in a town where quaint architecture and peaceful streets seem in harmony with the colleges. While Oxford University on the other hand suffers by its nearness to a large and uninteresting town, which presses and crowds upon the grey and ancient buildings in a way which is far from pleasing. Still these are lesser matters. They are both, as seats of learning, now dignified and crowned bycenturies, beautified and enriched by refined taste and wealth, eloquent with a long and worthy past, singularly attractive. 1 chanced to be at Cambridge during the Faster holidays, and found it given over to the unbroken silence of vacation. You might have thought it a city of the dead, but for the occasional passing of some student in cap and gown, whom necessity or incline- �tion had led to remain here during this holiday season. In thinking of either Oxford or Cambridge, you must dismiss all ideas of one building, or of a few grouping about a central and main edifice. They are as it were cities of colleges, each of these a little world in itself. In Cambridge I felt this especially, because the colleges were separated at times by such extensive open spaces, you felt as it were in passing under the gateway, like entering a feudal castle, where the inmates acknowledged only their chieftain as ruler, lean through no words of description convey to you an adequate and correct idea of the rare and peculiar beauty of Cambridge. How I wish it were in my power to do so. You pass beneath massive and imposing arches, b-nring the date of centuries long departed, and the coats of arms of sovereigns, who have yielded their crowns to others, and these in turn to others, and into wide and carefully kept quadrangles, where in the entrance of encircling walls the smoothest of turf gleams like a huge emerald in a setting of stone. About you are grey and time stained buildings, which for ages have been the homes of the very flower of England's youth. You wonder, entering at the superb Gothic Halls, with their dark rich carvings, drooping banners and armorial adornments, at the chapels, gems of architectural beauty, dim with the religious light which streams through jewelled windows ; at the elegance, the luxury, the magnificence which surround you, and you say "These are the palaces of princes." Or again, without, you catch the gleam of a peaceful river, flowing between verdant banks, mirroring ancient and majestic trees, and bearing upon its bossom white and stately swans; or you gaze with delight at some antique arch, crumbling with age and festooned with ivy, or higher up at the picturesque beauty of some mullioned window, upon whose ledge a row of flowers gleam like crimson flame, or you trace the leafy scroll-work of some graceful stone carving, out lined against the warm rich blue of the April sky and you ex claim with enthusiasm, while the- soft chimes of chapel bells deepen your delight, Here must indeed be the homes and "haunts of artists and poets." There are at Cambridge seventeen colleges and four halls As a University it has always held a high position and numbers among its alumni, some of the most noted names in English letters nnd statesmanship. Especial attention is here paid to mathematical study, while nt Oxford tbe highest honors are generally obtained by those who have devoted themselves to classical studies. Few views are more impressive than that with which you are favored from one of the many towers in Oxford. Beneath you lie a city of scholastic buildings, varied by verdant courts and lovely promenades. And if you are delighted by this birds-eye view from above, your enthusiasm is increased tenfold as you walk through the college grounds and under the shadows of these mediaeval walls. The names of the colleges are known the world over, Christ Church, Baliol, Magdalen, Trinity, Corpus Christi, Oriel, and many more. Among the most interesting places to visit, is the Bodbian Library, founded in the 16th century and SEPTEMBER. one of the finest libraries in the world. A monument on one of the principal avenues, marks the spot where Ridley, Latimer and Cranmer, found a martyr's glorious death in the midst of persecuting flames. If we found Cambridge deserted, we found Oxford populous with students. It was at the height of the examination period, and young Oxford was in a state of suspense and excitement. The week following, the various exercises connected with commemoration were to take pluce. We owed much of the pleasure of our visit to the courteous and kindly attention of a fellow of Merton College, who guided us most skilfully and satisfactorily through this "maze" of learning. SOME LONDON PREACHERS. I remember an American lady once saying to me " Oh, on Sundays in England we never lack for entertainment; we always endeavor to manage our excursions so, that we may be back in London for the Sunday, in order to have as many sermons as possible." You may have heard on the other hand of the Frenchman who said he would r.'tlii-r spend a Sunday at the bottom of a well in the centre of the Great Pyramid than in London. Still, I imagine, the number of those who would agree with the American lady, is not small. It is to be hoped that this innocent dissipation may result beneficially to those who are led to indulge in it. In coming to the subject of the London Sabbath, to its manifold missionary efforts, to its varied observance, to the army of lay and clerical workers, one reaches a theme so vast, that here, I must content myself with briefly mentioning a few of those men, who are at the present time of especial power and note in this world of a city. In the English pulpit to-day, are some of the strongest men, an English speaking race has given the latter half of this country. Whether churchmen or non-conformists, they are rightly to be considered as among* the grandest purifying, civilizing, spiritualizing in the world. Spurgeon is now one of the sights people cross the Atlantic to see, as they come for the Cathednl at Cologne, or the Abbey ot Westminster. He may not please all, but he cannot fail to impress all by his intense earnestness, and many he moves like a mighty wind. May I be pardoned a slight digression here, and the expression of a private and personal opinion. Tnere are some four or five men in Europe, who are worthy to be placed among the great men of history, men who have attained heights which tower above the heights of other men. We are always, if we only know it, living in an "heroic age." Sometimes we call men great, rather because of the antiquity of their While names than for any other reason. of the forces at work those of our own century we fail to honor as they deserve,. But, as 1 was saying, there seem to be living just now, four or five of these great men in Europe, great in the present, and for all coming ages ; and these are, in Music—Wagner ; in History—Car- lyle; in Poetry—Victor Hugo; in Politics— Bismarck ; and in the Pulpit—Spurgeon. One of the magnificent spectacles of London is Mr. Spurgeon's church, filled with thousands of people, every pew packed and the aisle crowded. The church is so arranged that the galleries run entirely around I*Bo. 67 THE FRIEND, the church, in this way accommodating an immense number of listeners. The music is of the simplest character, but profoundly impressive. There is no organ, no choir, no paid artistic performers. A gentleman, with a strong full voice, leads the singing in which this great congregation joins with a heartiness, a "whole-souledness" that causes the strains of the grand old hymns to rise like the mighty music of the sea. Nothing could be more simple, nothing more inspiring. A little s.tout, thick set man comes down on to the raised platform, and takes his place before the reading desk. But we think there is surely some mistake, that after all we may hive come in vain, and that for this evening some one is to take Mr. Spur- peon's place. But presently he gives out the opening hymn, and then reads one of the Psalms of David, nnd now we ore sure the famous preacher is before us. For there is only one voice like his it London, in England, so el••tic, so powerful, so vibratory, so musical. It would be impossible for Mr. Spurgeon to speak without saying something which bears the stamp of his own peculiar genius. You might, find him lacking at times in refinement, in delicacy of expression, but never in a grand, convincing earnestness, in a large braherly tenderness. Thousands flock year after year to hear him. He seems to be as popular to-day as he ever was. His sermons are full of a peculiar, vigorous poetry of his own, and picturesque with anecdotes and descriptions. Smiles and tears come and go on this mightly sea of upturned faces, like April sunshine ami shadow. He speaks like a man, keenly alive to the great, yearning needs of humanity, acquainted with the joys and sorrows, the heartaches, the disappointments, the struggles of his brother men. and he speaks like an apostle on whom the flame of inspiration has descended, of the grand and weighty themes of time and eternity. It is impossible to be in his presence, and not to feel the strong, grand spirit of this consecrated man. Almost more than any one else I hive ever seen, he seems to have attained to that ideil of the Christian life, which he himself holds in his lustrous heavenly beauty before his hearers—that life wherein 44 every meal becomes a sacrament; every vesture, a vestment; and every breath, a psalm !" One could scarcely conceive of a greater contrast than that which a service at Westminster Abbey offers, to one at Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. The music in the Abbey, though so entirely different, is however most beautifully impressive. We had tbe pleasure of hearing the venerable and distinguished Dean Stanley preach here on WbitSunday. Dean Stanley's name is too well hnd widely known to call for any especial mention here. He ranks among the very foremost of the clergymen of the Church of England. His writing's cover a wide range, and his name will always be remembered with honor, as that of one who, with spirit almost in advance of his day and generation, has sought to diffuse a broad and generous Catholicity of Christian fellowship and religious feeling. The years are beginning to leave their traces on the finely chiseled, scholarly features of the Dean, and his voice no longer has the ring of youth, but tbe noble strength of his intellect still continues �68 unabated, THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER. 188 0. py The proper care of the poor is one and the sincerity of his Christian The Japanese feeling. Perhaps the most popular of clerical writers to-day in England is Canon Farrar. His " Life of Christ came immediately into public favor, and his recently published elaborate, eloquent and vigorous Life of St. Paul." is meeting with even a wider sale. Dr. Farrar is one of the most prominent speakers and workers in behalf of the temperance movement, which just at the present time is advancing in such u healthy and satisfactory manner in England. Few things afforded me more pleasure during my stay in London, than a masterly sermon of Canon Farrars, in the ancient Church of St. Margarets, on Hebrew Poetry." It was delivered with most admirable charms and distinctness, and was itself so beautified with a vigorous and poetic spirit, and varied by eloquent and fitting flights of refined and lofty imagination, that it was indeed a worthy treatment of this most inspiring theme. For men of thoughtful and cultured mind nnd earnest spirit, there could, I am sure, be no more delightful preacher than Rev. Stopford Brooke, also a clergyman of the Church of England. Physically he is a noble specimen of English manhood, of the " Muscular Christianity" of which the late Charles " •■ " Kingsley knew the worth. (Speaking of Kingsley, I cannot help saying here, that this English visit seemed in some way \ess complete, because Kingsley was no longer living, and instead of the grand, actual presence ofthis most heroic and brotherly man, there was the tree-shadowed grave at Eversley, and the tablet in Westminster Abbey. \ Mr. Brooke's sermons in printed form have gone all over England. I took up one day a volume of them, in a friend's house, already in the 14th edition, ifI remember correctly. He preaches in the simplest, plainest of cbjirch edifices, Bedford Chapel. There are those who think Mr. Brooke scarcely orthodox in all points, still, I think, in the company of those who listen with reverent eagerness for the utterances of the Master's voice, rather than the dictum of dogmatic self-sufficiency, this brave and pure-hearted and earnest man is to be found. But 1 find as the memories of these English Sabbaths come to me, so many of whom I would speak, that I scarcely can do more than give the very briefest notice of a few more names. In St. Paul, that grandest of temples, I listened one afternoon with thousands of others to the well-known Canon Liddon, one of the clearest thinkers and reasoners in the English Church. Returning a moment to the non-conformists, I would mention Dr Parker, who preaches to one of the first audiences in London. He is a man of great force and originality, and is extremely popular. His church resembles in its interior many of our American Churches, and the audience looked less English than most we saw in London. At some of those mighty " May Meetings," we heard a number of the more distinguished English clergymen and ministers. Especially worthy of note are Canon (now Bishop) Ryle of Liverpool, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London. Dr. Manning, the eloquent and influential Secretary of the Tract Society and many others, all men worth hearing often. F. Wm. Damon. Berlin, Germany, July 3rd, 18S0. of the difficult problems of our modern Christian civilization. The time is near, if it has not already come, when in this community this should be made a public charge. It may not be wisest or best to organize a pauper department of the government. But the number and needs of the poor have so increased that private charity is incompetent to meet the necessities of the case. Time and money, thought and care have been freely and generously bestowed. Our citizens have always responded most nobly and heartily to all claims on their humanity and benevolence, nnd some have been ready to go far beyond what was their due proportion. It is in accordance with the usages of this government to supplement and encourage charitable endeavors by grants in aid. What good reason can any one give why the government should refuse to assign to the Strangers' Friend Society a certain portion of the Hospital Tax ? The ladies who have the charge of this most praiseworthy charitable organization, and who have received such warm expressions of gratitude as they can show from those who have been the recipients of their bounty ought to receive some public recognition of their truly noble labors, and all the aid that public money can give. Only eternal shame and ever-deepening misery is the fitting lot of him who shall hear from the lips of Infinite Mercy the condemnation in such few and simple words, yet so pointed and weighty, •' Ye did it not."

Having spent a few months in London and its environs, on the evening ot May 27th, we glided away to the British Chan- nel, and crossed over under the darkness of night, to Flushing, in Holland. In the early morning we found ourselves hurrying away over green meadows, windmills, redtiled roofs, canals, and long rows of trees as straight and regular as soldiers on parade, lining the banks of the dikes, told us but too plainly that we were in Holland about which we had read so much. For some hours we were privileged to travel among Dutch scenes and scenery, ere we crossed the border into Germany. After a few more hours we entered the city of Cologne, where we had made our arrangements to spend the Sabbath. Our Hotel was situated under the very shadow of the lofty and towering spires of the Cathedral, which has been in process of building so many centuries and is to be formally completed the coming Autumn. The workmen are now busy lifting stone after stone to its place, on the lofty spires, while in other parts of the edifice the work of restoration is going forward, thus, the old nnd new contrasting somewhat strangely.

Directly in front is the University, from whose gateway we often see so many students cnmi.ig forth, while on the left is the Emperor's palace. On Sabbath morning June 6th, we attended at tbe Koyal Cathedral. The audience gathering filled its spacious accommodations. The singing was superb, the congregation joining with the well-trained choir. Soon after the opening exercises, it was most gratifying to witness the noble and stately form of the Emperor, unattended and unheralded, enter the Royal Pew, remain standing while the opening exercises were in progress, and then see him take his seat like the humblest worshipper in the great assembly. It was a rainy and exceedingly unpleasant Sabbath morning, and we had expected, that if the Sovereign of this great Empire appeared in church, it would have been with a number of court-officers, and perhaps a display of military, hence, to see the venerable and noble old Emperor who had been present in so many battle-fields and memorable historic scenes, enter the house of God, as any humble and devout worshipper, was the more gratifying. The Court Chaplain spoke most eloquently, so fur as voice and gesture were concerned. We observed that the not fail to allow the Emperor an sexton did contribute with the other to opportunity members of the congregation. Here, by the way we would remark that, rarely in America or England, have we been present at any religious or public gathering upon the Sabbath morning or evening when the privilege has been omitted of allowing the congregation to contribute to some good object. We find the streets and avenues of Berlin broad and convenient. The often described " Unter den Linden." is a broad and noble street, lined with long rows of maple, chesnut and lime trees, which are now clothed in all their spring beauty and foliage. It is quite beyond our ability, if so disposed, to adequately and appropriately describe the various Museums, Picture-galleries, Palaces, and Public buildings of this renowned Capital of a great Empire, One featore strikes us with marked impression, we refer to the military element so manifest, as we meet pedestrians in the streets, and witness the frequent passing and re-passing of soldiers on duty, marching of military companies, and all the necessary military display of great numbers of soldiers known to be quartered in and about the Capital.

Dr. Hyde returned from Hawaii and Maui last Saturday. While at Waimea he spent three days in copying off" the 'revised edition, of Andrews' Hawaiian Dictionary, which task has recently been accomplished by Key. L. Lyons. He spent three years over it. He took the old edition, and had h thoroughly competent, native pronounce every word for him, give the proper accents, &c. &c. He corrected all the mistakes, and has vastly improved the former work. We hope to see the new edition printed ere long. It will undoubtedly be largely called for, as all who would buy it could depend on its being correct. One of the most important bills passed by the Legislature was vetoed by His Majesty. This was, 44 The Act to restrict the Immigration of male natives of certain Asiatic countries." The door is thus still left wide open for the Chinese to come here in large numbers for the next two years. The first steamer of the new line between Hongkong and San Francisco via Honolulu arrived here on the 13th ult. She brought, nearly 500 Chinese for Honolulu. They will probably arrive at the rate of 500 a month, and. when not be the session meets in 1882 we will surprised if the Chinese population has increased by 8,000 or 10,000 souls.

Various subjects, political, educational, &c. etc. will be discussed from time to lime. We wish the new society the best of success. We most truly sympathise with the ladies in their disappointment at the Hospital tax bill having been vetoed> The ladies presented their petition to the Legislature in the early part of the session. It was placed in the hands of Mr. Gibson, who, a few days before the Assembly closed, succeeded in getting the petition passed as a bill stating that one-fourth of the receipts from the Hospital tax be set aside as a fund to be used by them in their benevolent associations. Gen. S. C. Armstrong and W. T. Brigham Esq. left for San Francisco per Zealandia on the 30th ult*. We can assure them that they will be missed by their many friends, who will always remember with pleasure their visit here.

They will be warmly welcomed back to their island home. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

AUGUST 8. 18 80. From the Biennial Report of the President of the Board of Education to the Legislative Assembly of ISBO. we gather some interesting facts in regard to the School Statistics of the Islands. There are 210 schools in the country, viz : 150 Government Common schools, 14 Government select schools, taught in English ; and 46 Independent ones, also taught in English. The total of scholars in all these schools is 7,164 —4,048 boys and 11,116 girls. The nationality of the pupils (which shows the mixed nature of our population) is as follows : Hawaiians, 5.657; half-caste Hawaiian*, 955 ; Chinese, 85 ; Americans, 247 ; British, 90 ; Portuguese, 55 ; Germans, 37; French, 2; other foreigners, 36. The sum total expended by this Government for the support of Common and Hawaiian and English Schools during the biennial period ending March 31, 1880, was *50,055.72—a very respectable amount for a small country like this. We conclude our brief notice of this interesting report by copying the following paragraph by the President: " One great defect of our Common school teachers is the lack of inclination or ability to teach their pnpils moral truths. Our public school system should, like the Government which administers it, be nonsectarianand national; and the Board aim to maintain it free from the influence of church or sect. But this should not prevent the teachers from instructing their pupils in the principles of 18t>0. 57 {•ft SmtS, t?0l. 37. morality and good behaviour, and those RAMBLES IN THE OLDWORLD.-No. 43 habits of thought which form the basis of all In the Lands of the Rose and the Thistle—No. 3. religions belief."

For several years he has been in habit of visiting St. Petersburg nnd other cities, and holding evangelical meetings among the wealthy and influential members of society, which have resulted in leading many to the truth. This has irritated and enraged the leaders of the Greek Church, whe have bitterly opposed the movement, and now they have succeeded in procuring this severe interdict. Lord Radstock established a Bibleclass nt the house of General Pashkoff, from which the leaven has spread, till now there are fifteen similar meetings in St. Petersburg that are sending out a Gospel influence over the city and even into'the provinces.

We quote a paragraph : " After a tea meeting, which will begin at 5:30 (admission one mark), the chair will be taken by Edward Chaplin, Esq , Chairman of Committee, at 7 precisely. The Rev. E. W. Matthews, Secretary to the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, London, the Rev. Dr. Damon, of the American Seamen's Friend Society, and others, are expected to speak, (admission free.") The Chinese steamer Ho Chung is daily expected, with some four or five hundred Chinese passengers. These frequent additions to our population of Asiatic heathen are increasing the responsibility that rests upon Christians to try and do something more than has yet been done towards im- parting to them the light of Gospel truth. The presence of such a large and rapidly increasing pagan element among the Christianized but weak Hawaiians, must give rise to grave apprehensions of evil consequences. We need more Chinese colporteurs to labor among their countrymen, and an American missionary speaking Chinese, as suggested by the Hawaiian Board, would find an ample field for labor. From whence shall we look for one, and who will support him ? We have received the Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association for 1880. The Association held its sessions in this city during the first week in June, and the pamphlet of the proceedings and reports is extremely interesting under the different headings—" Abstract of minutes," "Annual Report,; reportof the Board, including—•' Home Evangelization," "Evangelical Educational Institutions,"'Foreign Missions' Treasurer's Report and report of the '-North Pacific Missionary Institute." The contributions from the Hawaiian Islands during the year have amounted to the sum of (5,699 91, and from the groups of islands to the westward, §342.75; total from the North Pacific Islands, $6042 66, a decrease from last year of $878.53. Sabbath afternoon services in the Gilbert Islands language have been regularly maintained in this city, and the attendance is about fifty. Rev. M. Maka, a returned Hawaiian missionary, has also labored among this people at Koo- " " lau and elsewhere. E. P. Adams, Esq., at Kilauea, Kauai, has built a church for them on his plantation and offers to contribute to the support of a pastor. In regard to the Chinese, of whom there are some ten thou- 1880. sand in these Islands, we learn that the Board has no commissioned Chinese laborers, but it has aided in Chinese evangelization, by making a grant for Ho Ah Pui, on Kauai, of $100, the balance of his support, some 8:250, being raised by Christian friends on Kauai; another grant of $100 to the foreign church at Makawaoand Haiku toward the support, of SatFan, and one of JlOOto the Young Men's Christian Association for Sit Moon. Much thought has been given by the Board to the question, whether it be expedient to secure the services of an American missionary speaking Chinese, to labor among the Chinese in this group, As yet they have come to no decision. Aid from the American Board for such a man can hardly be expected. Are our planters, and Christian friends of the Chinaman, ready to put their shoulders to the wheel?" It striks us that the interests of planters should prompt them to heed this appeal. Tha news from the different missions in the Pacific Islands, though somewhat unfavorable in some of the Islands is, on the whole, encouraging.

Five days in Wales, twelve days in Scotland and thirteen days in England, have afforded us, with the rare facilities at hand, an excellent opportunity for seeing portions of this goodly land in the opening springtime, when trees and hedge-rows, primroses and butler-cups were just putting forth their peculiar charms. The weather has been most favorable for tourists, not too cool for pleasant out-door excursions, with but little rain, and if the sky has not been blue, the clouds have not been an unpleasant gray. Our last was written from Wales, since that we crossed from the West to the East of England, passing up through the beautiful lake region on to Scotland, arriving in Edinburgh on the 20th of April. We were kindly entertained at the elegant mansion of R. A. Macfie, Esq., during our sojourn in Scotland, and his generous hospitality will long be cherished in grateful remembrance.

Amid so much to occupy our time and attention, we were pleased to be reminded of the noon-day pray- er meeting, where we met learned professors and clergymen of various churches in the city.

We regret to learn of the illness of Mr. Jas. B. Castle. He has been suffering from an attack of malarial fever. At last accounts he was improving. We hope soon to see him well and strong again. During the past month our citizens have had a rare treat in attending the Montague concerts at Kawaihao church. The expectations of the public have more than been realized. We have heard many of the leading singers in the United States, but we can truly say that we have not enjoyed any of them so thoroughly as we have these here. Phonetic spelling is gradually being more and more used throughout the United States. A large number of teachers and others in some of the leading Eastern colleges write entirely in the new way.

Hoapili Baker's Liquor Bill and the Opium Bill, have both passed by the Legislature during the past month, and now only await the Kings signature to become laws of the land. A petition signed by over a hundred of the ladies of our city has been presented to His Majesty, respectfully asking him to with-hold his royal signature from both bills. The Chamber of Commerce has sent in a similar petition. We await with anxiety for the result. Rev. Dr. Hemphill returned to San Francisco, per steamer Australia, the sth ult.

We are glad that the Advertiser of last Saturday published the names of the four native members of the Legislature who have acquitted themselves so honorably during this present session. They are certainly true Hawaiians and lovers of their country. We wish we could say the same of otheis of the native members of the Assembly. Mr. Joshua G. Dickson, who died on the 11th ult., was a man of sterling character, the highest integrity, and one that the community can ill afford to lose. He was a kind father, a loving husband, and one whom any person would have been proud to have had as a friend. His memory will ever be tenderly cherished by all who knew him. The exhibition of the Royal school took place at the Lyceum, Monday evening, the 19th ult. .The house was filled with an appreciative audience. The exercises consisted of singing and declamations, which were well rendered. The boys pronounced the English language very tcell, and Mr. Mackintosh is entitled to great credit for his careful training of them. No one knows so well as the teacher how hard it is to teach native boys another language. We are sorry that the Legislature has granted a subsidy to the proposed Chinese line of steamers. By«so doing they have opened a door for an unlimited amount ot Chinese males to come to our islands, and coming as passengers as they mostly will, nothing can prevent their coming in large quantities, anil we are vn- ,ikely to get more of the bad, than the good.

The attendance at all the meetings was very large. The most important change to be noticed is the resignation of Rev. A. Bingham as Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, on account of continued feebleness of body and voice. Mr. Bingham however, continues to reside in Honolulu, in the service of theTA. B. C. F. M., devoting himself to the preparation ofbooks in the Gilbert Islands language. Rev A. O. Forbes of Hilo, the new Secretary, is expected to enter on the duties of the office about the first of August. Miss. E. K. Bingham has also resigned the charge of Kawaiahao Female Seminary. The Trustees are anxiously seeking some one suitable to fill the vacancy. The Morning Star sailed on the 21st. A larger crowd than ever before gathered on the vessel and the wharf to witness the farewell services at the departure of the Missionaries, who go to the Gilbert Islands to give new impulse to the work there. Messrs. Taylor and Walkup with their wives all expected to open a Training School on Apaiang; and the Hawaiians who went out, Rev. S. Kahea Maunaloa and wife, are to be located with them as assistants in the school. The vessel was heavily laden with the usual supplies for the missionaries, and lumber for new dwelling houses. The missionary packet is provisioned this year for a ten month's voyage. Rev. J. F. Whitney and family are expected to return in the Star for a visit home after ten years' labor on the Marshall Islands. \m Series, gal. 37.

Rarely have I known a day more fair, more full of a tender, sunlit beauty than that which brought us from England to Scotland. We left Liverpool in the morning and long before the twilight had gathered about Arthur's Seat," we were in Edinburgh. I could have wished It might have been possible to linger amid the classic region of the " Lake District," at whose hills and mountains we were permitted to gaze from a distance. Even in passing, it was a pleasure to feel that Windermere, the " Queen of all " the Cumberland Lakes," lay peacefully sleeping in the hush of the noon-tide and the beauty of the opening spring, very near at hand. I could fancy that the spirit of the singers, who loved this region ao well, rested in a way of blessing on the scenes which filled them with such high and great thoughts, and which they have painted so vigorously, so tenderly, so truly for all the world. Wide fields growing softly green underthe verdant touch of the spring, sweep away to low foot-hills, rising toward heights beyond whose curving lines, softened still more by the tremulous haze of the warm mid-day, struck me as peculiarly lovely and graceful. It is scarcely to be wondered that Wordsworth and Coleridge and Southey loved these peaceful yet inspiring scenes. As we crossed the Scottish border the whole aspect of the country seemed to change as by magic. The tilled English fields, bordered by hedges, gave way to grassy hillsides, unbroken by dividing lines. Trees and shrubbery yielded to clustering growths of furze and heather. The blue sky grew of sudden grey, and veils of mist drifted down to us, and great rain drops blew with the wind through the openings in the hills. There was a freshness, a breezy healthfulness in the very air. which spoke to as from the first, of the Highlands. But before we reached Edinburgh the clouds parted and the evening sun came out in its glory, lighting the city with rarest beauty. We are glad to welcome back to the islands for a brief visit, Gen. S. C. Armstrong, son of the honored missionary who had charge for so many years of his life, of the department of public education in this Kingdom. Twenty years of absence have witnessed many changes, alike in Hawaii nei and in the United States. But the grey hairs that have begun to show themselves are now old veteran's war-worn locks. The same boyish ardour, the same restless energy that characterized the youthful editor of a score of years ago, are characteristics now of the honored educator, who has shown the people of the Southern States the value and of common school education, The Trustees of Punahou School the methods common sense and on Christian in managed have sold Spreekles, Esq., for $5000, principles. eight lots of land, each 200 by 200 feet, Under the auspices of the Y.

The Castle of Dreghorn stands on the curving slopes of the Pentlands, an hour or so from Edinburgh. It is a fine spacious edifice, partly covered with ivy, with tower and turrets and arches, strong and stately, and gray without and bright with all cheer and home-beauty within. It has seen the Pentlands changing from brown to green for something like two hundred Springs! Glorious stretches of woodland lead you off on either side, while tlown to the murmuring stream in the hollow below sweep away the queenest ot meadows, with here and there stately drooping trees, and varied with wandering whitewooled sheep and capering lambs. Passing down the long drive you come to the ancient Loudge," with its stone turrets half smoth"ered in a wealth of the richest ivy. Still farther on are the cottages of the tenantry and the village of Collington down in the valley, or clinging amid the trees to the hillside. And what a magnificent reach of country spreads itself out before you on every side. There in the foreground, like some mighty gulf of tenderest green, lighted by bursts of splendid April sunshine, and deepened by the shadows of drifting clouds, lies a superb forest ridged, village dotted plain. Then beyond this, where the sun comes out and the clouds part at its coming, may be seen still, motionless in its verdant setting, like a silver mirror the Firth of Forth in the distance. Beyond this forming our farthest horizon, rise higher peaks in early mornings, sometimes white with newly fallen snow. But fairest of all in this fair and goodly landscape, at your left the unrivalled beauty of the Scottish capital, watched over by its guardian hills meet you. You should see it from this point, now lost in the shadows or showing faintly through passing veils of mist, now rising triumphantly out of the cloudy depths a glorified golden city, its towers gleaming in the radiance of the high noon, glittering and luminous. Beautiful as was this outer world, we learned to look with delight to the home- coming, after days of pilgrim-tours and of historic wanderings, and to the welcome awaiting us within the Castle. Blessings on this Christian Scottish home, and their kind and generous hearts whose warmth and sympathy and gentle courtesy made us, strangers at our coming, feel like kinsfolk when we parted. IN AND ABOUT EDINBURGH. I am in no way faithless to memories of other scenes which have charmed me, nor am I leas in love with certain places which have in other days given me much delight, when I say that Edinburgh is, without a word of question, the most beautiful city I have as yet seen in Northern Europe. Those of the South I have still to see. I would not even except Geneva, with its beautiful lake and noble mountain views, nor Stockholm so proudly cresting the deep blue waters of Malar. From the first cloudless sunset of our arrival till the day of our leaving under the blue sky of early April, I felt the presence of this perfect, queenly city as a perpetual joy and inspiration. Were it other- JULY, 18 80. wise than beautiful, it would be strange. Its situation is most picturesque and abundantly adapted to display to the best advantage the unusually fine architecture of the city. By this kindly help of nature, every- thing of man's devising is enhanced a thousand fold. Even the most prosaic edifice receives something of a poetic beauty and finish from either its surroundings or the point on which a kindly necessity has compelled it to rest. Then, more than this, Scottish taste has budded and blossomed in this austere north, and under gray skies, into a beauty and grace, which awakes in every visitor the most astonished admiration. You wonder that amid the influences of Scotch Theology and Metaphysics, this fair city, with its numerous statues and inspiring monuments and its stately edifices, suggesting the perfect temple of classic and heathen Greece, could have been planted on these Scottish hills. Edinburgh is the most graceful and winning paradox I know of. The city is divided into the old and the new town. Between these lies a rocky ravine, which has been transformed into most beautiful gardens, open to the people. On one side rises a huge rocky crag, which is surmounted by the immense Castle of Edinburgh. From this you pass down into the long, narrow streets of the old town, with their towering, many stoned houses. Facing the Castle and across the valley lies the principal street and promenade of the city, and one of the finest things to see in all Europe, Prince's Street. Edinburgh fairly teems with historic associations, and the stones of the pavement seem to have voices. Here, you re-read half of Scottish history; here, kings and queens have lived, and here a portion of the romantic and melancholy drama of Queen Mary's life was enacted. Holyrood Palace abounds in interest for every visitor. I wish we might linger longer here. The tapestries, the hangings, the furniture are still standing in the palace rooms as in the days of the unhappy queen. You are shown the little supper room where Mary was sitting with fiizzio, when Darnley and the other assassins stole up the dark and winding stair-way at the side, lifted the now faded arras, and rushed upon them. After these long, long years there seems still something uncanny in the blood-stains in the hall beyond. In the quaint old High street still stands the house of John Knox, the Reformer. You can fancy him walking down the long street to the Palace, where Mary gave him, far from loving welcome. In one of the market places is a carved cross in the pavement, which marks the spot where thousands and thousands of the reformers were burned and executed for their unwavering faith. And I could go on thus, page after page, naming historic points in the city, did my time but permit. Edinburgh is famed the world over for its great men, who have been eminent in philosophy or theology, or science or poetry. To-day its citizens are known for their refinement and intellec- tual and religious culture. Its benevolent and charitable institutions are numerous, and rank with the first in the world. I recall with especial delight one afternoon and evening I spent in Edinburgh. It was the finest day of the year, when the long struggle of the winter for life seemed over, and the victory of the spring assured. I chanced to be on Prince's Street at the supreme moment of this raw day, just when the city grew glorious and almost transfigured in the splendor of the setting sun, and the coming on of evening. The whole length of this superb promenade stretched off like some triumphal way. At one end rose into the luminous sunlighted evening sky, heights surmounted by lofty monumental columns. One side was closely filled with more prosaic and modern buildings, but on the other lay, I thought, one of the fairest views my eyes had ever rested on. It may have been the exquisite beauty of the hour, I scarcely know, but it seemed like the vision of an enchanted city. Near at hand, was the splendid Gothic monument to Scott, and to right and left of this, other statues, recalling distinguished names. A little further removed a line of buildings with massive pillars and classic figures. At my feet the gardens of the city grew dim with the gathering purple shadows of the evening. Across the valley the old town and the Castle, glowed in the full sunlight, radiant in the slant beams, then grew softly, wonderously beautiful in the after glow, all sharp lines fading tremulously away, while the time-stained gray of towers and battlements lost itself in the background of the sky. The pleasure of our visit to Edinburgh was largely enhanced by the renewal of our acquaintance with Miss Isabella Bird, whose name is remembered so pleasantly in very many of our Island homes, and whose charming and graphic descriptions of Hawaiian life and scenery, are so widely known and appreciated, and no where more so than with us. Miss Bird's home is in the Scottish capital, and our memories of the days spent there will always be the brighter for the thought of her kindly courtesy and hospitality. Her very many Island friends and admirers will, I am sure, hear her name again with sincerest pleasure. Since her visit among us, she has visited the Rocky Mountains, and her eloquently poetic letters from that upper world of primeval forests and glittering snow-clad peaks, have been received with the greatest favor. Last year she returned from a visit to Japan, and I feel convinced that her book on that country, which is to appear in the autumn, will be even more popular than any of hers which have preceded it. Miss Bird's name is here well-known, and she takes a prominent place among the writers of travel. Through Miss Bird's kindly introduction we came to know some of the choice people of Edinburgh, this city of delightful society. Our evening visit was especially pleasant, and I mention it here because I am sure the name of Dr. John Brown, the author of that most pathetic and beautiful of poems in prose, "Rab and his Friends," is dear to many in the Pacific. Dr. Brown is well-known as an author and essayist. His style is attractive, his language forcible and eloquent, and at times delightfully quaint and picturesque. Some of his shorter sketches are known the world over, and " Rab and his Friends," may be said to be one of the most exquisite and touching things in the English language, its author is now on in years, lives quietly in his pleasant home, loved by all his follow citizens, �JULY. 1880. and by many, I am sure, whom he does not grim and severe.

Or,—but it were kinder and wiser to tell you of one or two of the places where we really did go—in the body and not in lingering fancy. One gray day, with the wind and the rain against us, but a grand pair of horses before us, we drove to Roslin, interesting for its ruined castle and chapel. The latter is a perfect Gothic garden of luxuriant, and yet exquisite bloom, a glorious maze of clustering, intricate carvings and traceries. The castle is in a sadly ruined state, too decrepit perhaps to be called any longer in itself beautiful, but eloquent still in its reminders of other ages. You are shown a damp, dreary arched vault where, our old guide told us, Queen Mary hid for some weeks when she was flying before Elizabeth. What a gloomy place for a haven of refuge Without it was charming, notwithstanding the April drops which filled the gray noon-tide, now and then with their uncalled for presence. Below was a tumbling stream, beneath which our tottering, and shadowy guide (he might have dated from Queen Mary's days) told us a secret passage ran far away from the castle to some opening beyond. The opposite bank, some one said, would be as blue as the summer sky a little later on, when the blue bells came. Further down the stream, reached by a lovely, romantic way under the arching trees, lies Hawthornden, once the home of the poet Drummond. To have left Scotland without a peep at Melrose, would have been to do a thing for which 1 am sure you would never have forgiven me. A visit there would have been enough to have lifted any day quite into the number of those which we note as worthy of special remembrance. But thanks to the great kindness and rare guiding skill of our very kind friend and host, we were enabled to see much more. 1 shall long remember this April day with pleasure; with now a swift ride by train through historic Scottish landscapes, or more leisurely carriage drives over country roads, bordered by verdant hedges. The very spirit of peace and contentment seemed to rise like a continual hymn from the quiet meadow lands and grass grown hill sides. We had much pleasure in visiting Abbotsford, which the memery of Sir Walter Scott renders so strikingly interesting. Here he lived and wrote for many years, and here weary and worn and yet victorious, he died. The house is filled with reminders of the great poet and novelist. His books stand as he left them, and seemed lonely and sad, now that the hand and eye of their former owner are still and closed. The beautiful gleaming Tweed flows swiftly on at the foot of the lawn. They placed Sir Walter near the window that he might, as his life went out, watch its onward flow. Abbotsford is painfully interesting; painfully, for you feel the emptiness, the vanity of all this now dusty material wealth lor which the great poet, with a pathetic weakness, sacrificed so much and labored as under the lash. But he left his name ■' unstained ! Melrose, we did not see by moonlight, (the orthodox way) but under a gray sky, warmed by a sun which we felt was there !

Here is buried the famous wizard or magician, Sir Michael Scott, of whom the poet speaks in Last Minstrel." Here too " The Lay of the tradition says, lies buried the heart of Robert Bruce.

From the hills above it you may look towards the " Land of the Border" on the horizon, and involuntarily in looking you find yourself humming, I am sure, some ballad or other, which long ago was born there. Dryburgh was founded during the reign of David I, and has its own place in history, of which we will not speak here. To-day its chief interest, and that a very great and tender one, lies in the fact that Scott is buried here; that a great hearted friend of yours and mine and all the world, has found his last resting place beneath those arches and amid these peaceful scenes. It is a most beautiful and appropriate spot for one to lie whose life was a song, which seems to find a whispered echo even here in death. Here amid the reminders of a historic past, watched over by the sacred memories of this holy place, ho lies till the morning dawn. The Tweed is near at hand, broadening here to a noble river, whose blue depths mirror sheltering banks of rare beauty. There is a hush over the crumbling walls, over the glorious vestiges of a dim past, over the encircling fields and groves. The matins and vespers here are the songs of thousands of birds—the incense, is the breath of opening flowers and the opening year, through the sculptured window of the choir, streams by day the undimmed beauty of God's sunshine, and here at night the silver stars gleam as tapers.

The ship's company of a large steamer is made up of a great variety of characters, and from all, something may be learned. On arriving in Liverpool after a nine day's passage, we were cordially welcomed by some old friends, and among them A. Balfour.

In the course of the Saturdsy previous, the Dean nnd his Son-in-law being together at the Vicarage, the former requested Heber to write " Something for them to sing in the Morning," and he retired for that purpose from the table, where the Dean and a few friends were sitting, to a distant part of the room. In a short time the Dean enquired What have you written?" Heber having "then composed the three first verses,- read them over, "There, there, that will do very well," said the Dean, " No, no, the sense is not complete," replied Heber, accordingly he added the fourth verse, and the Dean beintr inexorable to his repeated request of " Let me add another," " Oh let me add another," thus completed the hymn of which the annexed is a fac simile, and which has since become so celebrated; —it was sung the next morning in Wrexham Church for the first time.

But in time other explorers reached did his work, he secured peace, but it was the peace of a nearly exterminated race. A few days since there came floating to us on the currents of commerce and literature pieces of the wreck of this island world. As we gathered them up and looked at them, we saw in them the former life once so busy there, we saw in them two lines which told us how closely allied that people were with those among whom we are now living. It is well known how easy it is to link a lost species of fauna or flora back to its native place by the discovery of a single bone, it may be, or a single stem of a tree. Yearssince.when the first Morning Star was wrecked, the swiftly passing currents caught some pieces of her timbers, such as were well marked, and bore them eastwardly some 300 miles and landed them on another island. They were gathered up by some natives, shown to a captain who knew the vessel well; as he examined them he declared them to be parts of the Morning Star, and said she was wrecked. It was so. She was lost, she is wrecked on another island, and here were the drifted timbers, telling the sad tale. So with the drifted pieces from, this lost people. They tell us not so much that the people are lost, but rather what close relationship they held with the nowliving people about us. Here is a fragment. That early people had for a name as given by foreigners, Chammoros, it seems to have been a tribal appellative. But I think it meant rather the priestly class. For here in the Ponape dialect, Jamero, very closely allied in its root-parts to the Chammoros alone, means priest. We cannot doubt but that once they were closely allied. But here is another fragment. Early writers speaking ot the priests of the Ladrones, mention the Rhy May bread fruit. But the May is only the name for this fruit all through Micronesia; the Ponape, Mai, Mortlock Mai, Russian Mwos, Ebon Me. A half-caste youth from these islands crossed my path a few days since. There was nothing in his appearance to indicate that his home was there, and his language was mixed with the Spanish, yet now and then words were dropped that were native. His Maulik for instance, meaning good, was only the Ponape Me mau, the Ebon, Emon. His Nifin, meaning teeth, has the Ponape and Morllock roots for the same words, Ngi. But these are only a few of the fragments of the wreck upon that northern Archipelego; we wish we had more. We are sure there are more. We do not doubt, but that in some of the old convents of those islands there are stowed away treatises on the grammar of that dialect. It would be a joy to rifle these places for these treasures, it will be done in time. But till then we must be content with the little that floats to us. We mourn the loss of that people. From all can learn we think it must have been the finest in all this island world. There are ruins there that tell us this ; but the race is gone, those northern " cousins have passed away. Only 350 years, and they are not. Is this prophetic of the races now living in Micronesia ? That in the sweep of another circle of 350 years less or more, the races now living and for whom we are now toiling are to be wiped out! Not certainly if a pure and simple Christianity and civilization can save them. E.T. Doane. " �JULY, ISBO. SAILORS' APVaRTISBSSBWTS. Places of Worship. 5 THE FRIEND, HOME! CONFECTIONERY.

This is a good move on the part of the Association, and we hope it will meet with success. We are glad to hear that Mr. Henry Waterhouse has been appointed as one of the new members of the Hawaiian Board. He is the right man in the right place. * We commend the action of the Legislature in refusing to grant a subsidy to the proposed Chinese line of steamers. * • 56 AsYCMochoiearutnnH'gf onolulu. At a meeting of the Library and Reading Room Association, held at their hall the sth ult., the entertainment committee informed the Society that arrangements had been perfected whereby they would be able to give at least one entertainment per month at the rooms, of either lectures, readings, or addresses, with music, etc. Several gentlemen have signified their willingness to assist the Society in this matter. It is the intention and purpose of the committee to keep up the interest in our Society, and to furnish monthly entertainments at their rooms, where the public can come and enjoy a pleasant evening without charge. The Hall and Library committee reported that since the fair, they had bought here in town one hundred dollars worth of new and valuable books, which were nearly all ready to put on the shelves. By the steamer of June 7th they had ordered one hundred dollars worth of books, and would order fifty dollars worth by each succeeding steamer, until further instructions from the Board of Control. During the past month a Young Men's Christian Association has been started among the native members of Kaumakapili Church. A full list of officers have been chosen to serve for one year. The association will hold meetings once a month, and a prayer meeting every Sunday evening before church. The same constitution and by-laws of the English Y. M. C.

They have also passed stringent prohibitory laws, making illegal all traffic in intoxicating liquor. The sanctity of the Sabbath is also enforced by imposing heavy fines for games or labor on that day. All friends of the Hawaiian people will rejoice at the action of the Legis- lature in putting an end to the attempt to overthrow the present prohibitory liquor law. It is to be hoped that tbe prohibition will be extended to the Chinese, and to other Polynesian races. The recent spread of habits ofintemperance and the notoriously abundant sale of liquor, have given just cause of alarm to all true friends of this Hawaiian people. The attempt to license the sale of opium is another of the persistent efforts so often made in these islands to break down the barriers of social order. The plantation managers cannot afford to let their Chinese laborers be ruined by the free use of opium. Though there are fewer foreign members of the Legislature than in previous years, the native members have thus far acquitted themselves admirably in the difficult task of legislating for a community of such varied and almost discordant interests as in this Hawaiian Kingdom. The reports presented by the Ministry have given full and satisfactory account of the administration of affairs for the last biennial period. There are many difficult questions of public Interest for the right decision of which the Ministry is held responsible. No question is of more vital importance to the business interests of the community than the introduction of cheap labor.

I am the more inclined to hope this, because our rambling steps lead us this time to lands so dear to us as the " Old Home," so precious by reason of a thousand historic, poetic and national associations, so consecrated by grand and stirring memories of the past, that it seems we are but fulfilling a filial duty in visiting it at last.

It would however have been far less impressive and complete had not Gladstone, one of the greatest men of our own or any age, led the attack. At the ripe age of seventy, with a past record so meritorious and complete, that it would have seemed sufficient to exempt him from further effort, he stepped forward to the front, with sling in hand, like some new David, in the first flush of youth. Day after day he has penned forth a volume of speech which has amazed his enemies and delighted his friends. His recent oratorical efforts in Scotland Bre, perhaps, for sustained force and endurance, without parallel in history. A recent writer in reference to the Liberal victory, says, using a Homeric illustration, which none could better appreciate than Mr. Gladstone himself. " It is Mr. Gladstone's voice which has roused the country, and Mr. Gladstone's conviction which has carried it. Like Achilles when he left his tent, his mere cry scared the victors as they then thought themselves, in the full heat of their assault. Like Achilles when he entered the battle, everything has gone down before him, or rather everything has seemed to ally itself with him and his cause." It is then no exaggeration to style him the '• Hero of the Day." It has been a source of no little satisfaction and pleasure to us. that we have been privileged to see Mr. Gladstone, at the moment of acknowledged victory, under the most agreeable circumstances. Inspiring as heroes may be as described in rhetoric verse, or perpetuated in sculptured marble, a real hero gains, rather than loses, breathing, living, acting before you. Leaving now the bare recital of political affairs, let me give briefly the record of a charming afternoon's excursion, which brought us, to our great surprise and delight, face to face with the first and foremost man of England at the present time. We learn, ed with pleasure from the kind host and hostess, whose thoughtful attentions and graceful courtesy, are fillrng our days, just at present with so much that it is now delightful experience, and will be ever dear and precious in the remembering that Hawarden Castle, the home of Gladstone and his family, lay only a few miles away, and that an excursion thither was planned for us. This was quite enough to set our ■liberal" hearts beating with eager anticipation. At least we were to see the Castle that held the Chieftain, who ruled the land. But fate, which is oftentimes more loving than our fears, had something better still in store for us. Yesterday we drove over the Welsh hills, to Hawarden, with the sweet, fresh air of the spring in our faces and a quiet gray sky over our heads. Our way lay through a splendid stretch of country, with hills on every side, softly veiled in mist. Here and there we saw churches whose towers rose out of the peacelul landscape, guardian like, as if indeed they were watching over the hamlets, nestling beneath them with a certain quaint tenderness of their own. At last emerging from the forest we caught glimpses of a little village perched upon a. hill, and then the Castle gates, �mantled with ivy, appeared, and before we knew it our horses stood before them. We thought it must have been our good fortune to have come just in time for a Welsh wedding, for the main street of the village was gay with flags and mottoes, and garlands of green. Little knots of the villagers stood together busily talking and waiting. But our joy was soon still more increased on hearing that we had arrived at the moment, not of wedding, charming as that would have been, but to see the " welcome home" of a successful Liberal candidate, and he a son of Mr. Gladstone. I scarcely think in all our English visit anything more uniquely interesting than this afternoon's celebration. It may be very probable that we shall hear Mr. Gladstone, at some great distance, speaking eloquently enough on some important measure, but here we had the pleasure of standing side by side with him, speaking with him, seeing him in the midst of his people and family, with radiant face welcoming home his son, who is following so worthily in his father's footsteps. With a little waiting the throng grew larger. Then Mr. Gladstone, with his wife, appeared among the people, and soon up the village street came the band, filling the quiet afternoon air with a burst of patriotic and martial music, and following this, a larger crowd of country folk, with laughter and shouts and cheers. The horses had been taken out and the men were pulling the carriage, where with traveling trunk before them, young Mr. Henry Gladstone, fresh from his successful election in East Worcestershire, and his young wife, were enthroned for the time as on a triumphal car. I wish I could paint, even approximately for you, the scene. As a bit of old England, it was unsurpassed. In the centre stood the young politician, raised in his carnage, above the heads of the crowd, thanking the villagers and his family for their kind welcome; beside him his wife, a daughter of Lord Blantyr, who, with wifely and womanly zeal had accompanied him through all his electioneering efforts. Amid the crowd, shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the village, stood the great Mr. Gladstoneand his wife, he, with his head uncovered, calm, dignified, elegant in his manner, she, with her face beaming with joyful feeling and beautiful with her motherly interest, a noble pair, I thought. About us was the people, now silent, earnest, attentive, now breaking out into cheers and cries of approbation and jubilant laughter at some happy turn in the speech. There were strong, vigorous faces in the throng. At our side I noticed a sooty and grimed miner from a neighboring colliery, at the foot of the hill, with his safety lamp still on, standing near an antique carved stone fountain. There were rosy cheeked matrons and maids, and white bearded men. Faces looked out from upper windows, overhanging the street. It was a characteristic, odd little company. Yellow cockades ornamented some of tbe caps, yellow flags waved in the air, and bright primroses and daffodils gave a jaunty dash to many a button-hole, and over all hung the grey, soft curtain of the April sky, and the wind stole softly through the neighboring forests, brightening beneath the touch of the coming summer.

Golden Rule.—Fallacies are very longlived. We overheard a conversation the other day in which the old delusion came out, as fresh as ever: all, it don't " After matter what a roan believes if he only does right." We passed on our way, wondering if the speaker would be willing to apply his principle to anything except religion. Does it make no difference in a man's business operations whether he believes in honesty or knavery ? And shall it be said that it makes no difference in a man's character and destiny whether he believes in virtue, goodness and righteousness ? Does it have no bearing on a man's daily life to believe he shall reap what he sows ? Is there no —B. ¥ T. inspiration to right doing in a firm belief in a holy, just and merciful God ?

Since our last we have made a rapid run through New England and returned yesterday, April Ist, to New York, to make our preparations for sailing to-morrow for Liverpool per City of Berlin, Inman Line. ,We found the weather of March fearfully cold and while in New England we experiencet a snow storm, covering the ground to the depth of six inches. When in Holden, our native town, we had several sleigh rides thus reminding us of the olden times' " when a youth we enjoyed all that was to be derived from the pleasures of winter and the merry music of the bells. There is a charm about New England which natives of this region experience, whether they visit it in summer or winter, spring or autumn, During our brief sojourn in Boston we met many of our old Island friends who have returned to Boston? among them Capt Brewer, Dr. Wood, Mr. Austin, W. T. Brigham, Esq., and others. It was our privilege to dine with General Armstrong st Mr. Austin's. We were glad to learn that he contemplates a visit to tbe Islands the coming summer, where we feel fully confident he will receive a most cordial welcome. He is a most loyal Hawaiian, and does not ignore the fact that a youthful training on Hawaiian soil and his connection with the Hawaiian Board of Education, contributed in no small degree to fit him for his present position of eminent usefulness. He is full of philosophy about races, including the Hawaiian, Chinese, Negro as well as AngloSaxon. We are rejoiced to learn that there are some live men who have been born at the Hawaiian Islands. During our first visit to New York we enjoyed the privilege of hearing a lecture delivered at the Hall of the Y. M. C. A., before the students of the Union Theological Seminary, by the Rev. R."S. Storrs, D. D.„ of Brooklyn. It was the first of a series on the " Evidences of Christianity," on what is styled the Ely-Lectureship. It was a most able and interesting lecture delivered in a peculiarly graceful style. Dr. Storrs is considered as among America's ablest and most eloquent pulpit orators. We remember him as a student at Amherst nearly fifty years ago, and it is pleasant to witness that, with increase of years.there has beenacquired a maturity of views and opinions, which place him among the very foremost of the clerical profession. Among those upon the platform we noticed the venerableDr. Adams, Prof. Schaff, Dr. Prime of the Observer, and other distinguished men.

REV. J. H. BROOKES. 7.50. First, it was a personal salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not another's faith, but her own. Second, it was salvation by believing. "Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not her faith and repentance, nor her faith and love, nor her faith snd good resolutions, but her faith alone. Third, it was a present salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not that Peter and James and John were saved, but she herself, a little while before an outcast sinner, was saved. Sixth, it was an active salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee ; go." It was not that she was to sit down after that eventful interview in idle self-indulgence, but she was to be engaged always in the Master's service. Seventh, it was a peaceful salvation. "IfThy faith hath saved thee ; go in peace." ever her peace was disturbed for a moment, it would come back again when she remembered the unfailing word of her faithful Lord. " Being justified by faith, we have pence with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. v. i.)—The Watchman. There is a judge in the city of Hudson, U. S., who both fears God and regards man. In sentencing to death a criminal found guilty of the murder of his wife, Judge Osborn concluded with these words of remonstration, rebuke, and Gospel invitation, to the murderer:— We have been pained and grieved to hear that your previous character has been bad, that you have not lived such a life as you should, to command the respect of those who reside in the same community, or in the community adjoining that of yourresidence. We have been grieved also to witnes-s the indifference which you have displayed during the progress of this trial—the indifference which seems to have been manifested by you from the hour of the commission of this crime down to the present time. I trust that from this time you will give up this indifference. Attempt now to soften your heart. Listen to the appeals that may be made to your conscience by the Christian men and women of this city, who, I have no doubt, will be glad to visit you, will be glad to do all in their power to bring you to a better state of mind. The law. more merciful to you than you to your victim, gives you ample time for repentance. Bear in mind that there is a fulness and freeness in the salvation which Christ purchased for us, and it is ample and sufficient to meet your case. You will remember that the Saviour, while suffering the most terrible agony on the cross, prayed to HisFather in heaven that He might forgive His murderers, for they knew not what they did " Then you may hope for pardon if you heartily repeot and seek for- " giveness. in the Other Country.—A distinguished man lay on his death-bed, when a great mark of distinction and honour was brought to him.

No Use believed. Fourth, it was a perfect salvation. Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not that her faith had helped her, or started her on the road to glory, but it had completely saved her from the curse and consequences of sin. Fifth, it was an assuring salvation.

We have read with great interest, the report of the Judiciary Committee to (he Legislature, on the restriction against the use of spirituous liquors by native Hawaiians, and heartily endorse the sentiments therein expressed. In his report, Mr. Gibson states that the Hawaiian Government is not bound by any treaty relations which would prevent its Legislative Assembly from imposing restrictions by law in respect to the use of intoxicating liquors upon persons of any nationalities, even upon those with whom our Government has treaty relations, if deemed advisable to do so for public welfare. We sincerely hope that a law will be passed, during the present Legislature, that will prevent the sale of all intoxicating liquors to .every Chinaman on these islands. The community is not, and the Legislature cannot Be ignorant of the great evil that is being done by the sale ofliquar to the Chinese. From Hawaii to Kauai, case after case is shipped to them every week. In many places they sell it openly to any one who wants it, and the natives can get all they desire, without any difficulty. Drunkenness is seen daily, and is on the increase. The community is looking to the Legislature, and expect that it will pass a law that will meet and remedy this evil. The fair of the Library and Reading Room Association, took place at their rooms, May 20, 21, 1880, and was a complete success, in every particular, far exceeding the expectations of the most sanguine. For nearly three months, the nimble lingers and busy heads of the ladies, who had the matter in charge, were devising, preparing and perfecting arrangements for its successful accomplishment. Too much praise cannot be lavished upon them for what they have done. The net proceeds will amount to a little over 92,400. This will enable the Association to pay off its present indebtedness, and leave a large balance on hand, to purchase books, fkc, from time to time, as shall be deemed necessary, for the further progress and advancement of the Association. We feel that the successful results of the fair have been a public recognition by the community, of the necessity and usefulness of the Association to our city, and their wish that it may continue to grow and prosper, year by year. It may be a matter of interest for the ladies of our city to know, that they can become Members of the Library and Reading Room Association, as well as their gentlemen friends. The dues are placed at the moderate sum of fifty cents a month, entrance fee, $1.00. We already have five lady members on our list, and we hope to have many more in the future. Electric Light on Shipboard.—The Inman steamer City of Berlin, which arrived at New York, recently from Europe, was lighted during the voyage by electricity. Four lights were placed in the saloon and two in the steerage, each having a light of 400 standard candles, the apparatus being driven by a small four-horse power engine. The experiment proved such a success that the delighted passengers presented an address of thanks to the Inman Company, through Capt. Kennedy, commander of the vessel. President Seelye, of Amherst College, not frightened by the spectres which some Christians conjure out of the speculations of modern scientists. He says in a recent letter to a former pupil: " Remember that evolution, without a previous involution, is impossible; and to derive reason from unreason is absurd." This is another way of putting the old proverb, " You cannot get more out of a bottle than was put into it." is We had a Rouse-ing sermon from pastor, last Sunday evening. our Makawao Golden Rule.—When Christianity gives as warm a hand, as pleasant a face, and makes its place of worship as inviting as theatres, billiard halls and liquor saloons, there will be less poverty and crime charged to ruin, and more credit due religion. 48 AsYCMochoiearutnnH'gf onolulu. The P. C. Advertiser of the 29th ult., informs us that a bill to license the sale of opium to Chinese in the Kingdom, is under discussion before the Legislature. The purport of the bill as explained by the P. C. Advertiser is certainly a very weak one, and we hope tbat our Legislators will be wise enough not to pass such an act. The present law on our statute books is a good one, and the P. C. Advertiser says, that according to the best testimony tbe country can produce, it is very effective in discouraging the use of opium amongst the natives at least. Certainly this is reason enough why the present law should not be repealed. The Chinese will get opium any how, by hook or by crook, our duty is to try as far as lies in our power to prevent its reaching the natives. Let the present law stand. We are glad to welcome to Honolulu Mr. James A. Martin, who arrived by the last trip of the Discovery. He comes highly recommended by many pastors and teachers in New York City, and Brooklyn, as an earnest Christian worker. He has been engaged in Sunday School work for 27 years in the latter city. He made an interesting address to the Kaumakapili Sabbath School, Sunday morning, May 23d, and at Maemae Sunday School in the afternoon of the same day. He is desirous of obtaining employment here, and Is anxious and eager to take hold, and assist us in our Sunday School work here, as soon as a permanent situation has been secured. We understand that a petition has been presented by the Ladies Stranger's Friend Socieiy, to the Legislature, asking that a part of the hospital tax be set aside, as a fund for them to draw upon, in caring for the many indigent foreigners increasing in our community. The finances of the society have been heavily drawn upon of late, and they need assistance. Their request is a most worthy one, and we hope it will be cheerfully granted by the Assembly. We can all afford to speak a kind word now and then, to strangers in our midst. It does not cost us anything to do it, and it may cheer some despairing heart. A New Bedford paper says that the Post Office department has made a decision by which second class matter can be sent to the Hawaiian Kingdom at the domestic rates prescribed by the act of 1876. This reduces the rates on periodicals materially. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We are pleased to know that the demand lor them as plantation bands and household servants is more than equal to the supply. With but a very lew exceptions, these people have given good satisfaction, and in theresponses which have been received to the circular on the subject issued by the President ot the Board of Immigration, it is emphatically stated that tbe South Sea Islanders are preferred to any other Immigrants. We look upon this work of procuring immi- received, and News has been received through Lloyd's of the safe arrival at New York of Hawaiiaoß as the Australia, in which the " American grants from a cognate race with tbe as intimately one of paramount importance, and Commission " of the Salvation Army were connected with the questions of tbe recuperation passengers.

Among the passengers on the last steamer from thmColonies, and proceeding on to San Francisco, was Pastor Chiniquy. He has been engaged in preaching and lecturing for some time past in different parts of Australia and New Zealand. On tbe evening of his arrival here, he addressed a congregation at Fort St. Church, taking for his subject Psalm 66.16. For nearly two hours he was listened to with deep interest and profit, as he related the story of God's grace. The trials, sorrows, joys and hopes of his eventful life, and in forcible "language urged upon his hearers the acceptance of Christ as God's great gift to man. gration to vigorously prosecute the work. The Ilatoaii, instead of being allowed to idly lay up on expense, will be refitted without delay for an- other voyage, and this lime to the New Hebrides and Solomon group, in search of immigrants. It is from these sources that the Fiji colonists obtain their labor supply, taking men only, And paying at tbe rate of £3 per annum per man. While the rate of wages paid here for labor is so much higher, it would be found in the end bad policy for us to bring the Islanders here on any such meager terms as tbey could be got for. By offering a rate of wages at tbe outset which is fair to both tbe laborer and tbe employer, we shall escape the liability to complaints and discontent in tbe future. During tbe voyage from Jaluit,five of the Islanders died from dysentery, caused probably by tbe change of diet and habits.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 40 Autumn Days in the Netherlands and Belgium— No. 5. THE CATHEDRAL AT ANTWERP. In Antwerp the writer's thoughts and then his steps turn first and naturally to the beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady," whose presence in the most "ordinary of cities, would have, I feel, a certain sanctifying influence, and here amid so many artistic and historic treasures, seems but to heighten and increase their beauty and charm. One grows unconsciously to long for the restful presence of these grand old cathedrals as he becomes more and more used to the worn paths of travel on the continent. They grow to have a certain singularly tender and welcoming charm after the rust of travel, the confusion and distraction of arrival. One seeks them out perhaps in his loneliness, in his strangeness, amid thousands of unknown and uncareing faces, and covered with the dust of wearisome travel, finds a soothing- solace in their hush and calm, in their guardian watchfulness; is lifted into companionship with all high and noble thoughts by the perfect beauty and symmetry of his surroundings, and the sacred and lofty symbolism which they express. Those who have once felt their " benediction " can never wholly lose its comforting power. The Cathedral of Antwerp enshrines the most beautiful painting of Antwerp's most highly gifted artistic son, the " Descent from the Cross," by Rubens. After the morning service, opportunity is afforded visitors of seeing the picture. One is almost startled and pained at first by the transformation of the sacred precinct into a picture gallery. A little army of copyists are ranged in front of the painting, busily working on their reproductions of the unattainable original. Beautiful as are some of these copies, even the unexperienced eye must detect the inferiority of their coloring to that in the work of the Masters. One of the artists touched and interested me in a peculiar way. Though he was only a copyist, for the time, he worked with tbe zeal, with the tender genius of some old cloisterer while illuminating some rare and treasured manuscript, in the middle ages. For the moment the glorious arches, the mighty Cathedral �THE FRIEND, M IV. 34 walls seemed to close about us, narrowing to n convent cell, the present faded out of sight and hearing, and one seemed to catch the sad, mellow chiming of the Angelus " in the still air, luminous with the dying glory ot some rare Italian day, calling our artistmonk from his work to the higher office of devotion. It must have been his priest-like garb, tbe worn and ascetic face, the rapt devotion to his work, the light which glowed in his great penetrating eyes, which produced the illusion. It must, as you see, have been a face or form more than ordinary which could have kept us so long from looking at the picture, which we had come to see. But this is the power which humanity possesses superior to art, however great it may be. In one sense there is a more fascinating charm in the humblest human being, against whom the world unceremoniously jostles, than in all the Christs and Madonnas that have ever been painted or carved. Perhaps it would be better for us if we thought less of the dried oils on the painter's canvas and more of the warm, rich blood of humanity which flows within and about us! Rubens certainly studied humanity, undoubtedly quite too often in its grown form, but in his better moods - with grand effect. The " Descent from the Cross," before which we are standing, is his master piece. It can scarce I fail to be familiar to all through the countless reproductions which exist of it. Rubens certainly possesses little of sound mysticism in bis art. Many find even his " Descent from the Cross unpleasant and revolting. On the contrary, it fascinated me strangely by its intense realism, by its strength, by its grand vividness. The actors were substantial human beings, it is true, and so should they be. The Christ is not the worn and emaciated figure of Byzantine art, but a strong, heroic figure, imposing in death. The main light of the picture falls upon tbe person of the crucified Christ. The wounded and bleeding form is being gently, reverently, tenderly lowered from the cross and received by loving hands. There is the Virgin Mother in her grief and sorrow, A|ary Magdalene, with repentant and adoring face bathed in tears, John, the beloved disciple," and above all the strong, vigorous, muscular form of Peter, raised above the cross, and in a characteristic way, shining and yet full of exquisite tenderness, aiding in this last service of love. The gaze of all present is centered upon this great central figure, and it is the gaze of loving devotion and tearful but confiding trust There are no mocking, hostile faces there, no stern and " " unrelenting soldiery. Tbe enemy sought His life ; the friends cherish with boundless tenderness the dead and wounded body of their Lord. It is an absorbing, marvelous picture, and moves one so deeply that the manyother paintings with which the shrines, altarsand walls of the Cathedral are adorned seem to make but little impression afterwards. The Cathedral itself is a worthy casket for so rare a treasure, it is in most beautiful gotbic style, and its sacred twilightgloom is lighted through lofty windows whose ancient colors still glow with jeweled radience. This now still and hushed interior has been witness to wild and turbulent 1880. scenes. The Netherlanders, cruelly oppressed and harrased by the savage cruellies of Philip, at last rose in wild revolt, and the people ravaged the churches, destroying the most precious works of art, venting on ihe images the hatred which they felt towards their unfeeling ruler. The fury of the iconoclasts, or image-breakers, lasted four days, and the destruction they wrought in that short time is well nigh incredible. In Brabant and Flanders they destroyed over 400 churches. In Antwerp their destructive rage reached its acme. Motley, in his history, sketches most vividly their attack upon the Antwerp Cathedral : " And now, as the shadows of night were deepening the perpetual twilight of the church, the work of destruction commenced. Instead of vespers, rose the fierce music of a psalm, yelled by a thousand angry voices. It seemed the preconcerted signal for a general attack. A band of marauders flew upon the image of the Virgin, dragged it forth from its receptacle, plunged daggers into its inanimate body, tore off its jewelled and em- broidered garments, broke the whole figure into a thousand pieces, and scattered the fragments along the floor. A wild shout succeeded, and the work, which seemed delegated to a comparatively small number of the assembled crowd, went on with increased celerity. Some were armed with axes, some with bludgeons, some with sledgehammers ; others brought ladders, pulleys, ropes and levers. Every statue was hurled from its niche, every sculptured decoration, however inaccessible in appearance hurled to the ground.. Indefatigably, audaciously endowed, as it seemed, with preternatural strength and nimbleness, these furious iconclasts clambered up the dizzy heights, shrieking and chattering like malignant apes, as they tore off the slowly matured fruit of centuries. A very beautiful piece ot architecture, the ' repository ' as it was called, decorated the choir. It was shattered into a million pieces A troop of harlots, snatching waxen tapers from the altars, stood around the destroyers and lighted them at their work. Nothing escaped their omnivorous rage. They desecrated seventy chapels, forced open all the chests of treasure, covered their own squalid attire with the gorgeous robes of the ecclesiastics, broke the sacred bread, poured out the sacramental wine into golden chalices, quaffing huge drafts to the beggars health ; burned all the splendid minerals and manuscripts and smeered their shoes with the sacred oil, with which kings and prelates had been anointed. In a space of time wonderfully brief, they had accomplished their task. Art was trampled in the dust, but humanity deplored no victims." Beautiful and richly adorned as is the interior to-day of the Cathedral, the exterior is not less so. The Emperor Charles Y. used to say that tbe spire deserved to be placed in a treasure-casket of its own. One can scarcely conceive of any more perfect— at once so daring and audacious in its upward flight, and yet so marvelously, so exquisitely graceful and delicate in effect. I found it the kindest, the wisest of guides while in Antwerp, wherever I might go, looking up I could see this glorious, arrowy structure, now near, now distant, and knew in which direction I must go. Fragile, fairy-like, a faint vision of beauty in the air as it is when the night gathers about it, and the silver stars, g leu in through its carvings and leafy blossoming traceries and ornaments; it grows most real and tangible as you mount ibe hundreds of steps which lead to the summit. The view is exceedingly interesting. On a fine day one can, with his glass, sweep nearly all Belgium, looking off to Breda, to Brussels, to Mechlen and Ghent. But one is especially attracted by the city, which lies spread out before him at his feet. SAUNTERINGS IN ANTWERP ! This is a delightful city for one who has the chinning gift of catching with pencil or brush " bits of beauty" in his daily walk, it must be I think, loved by artists. You come home from your ramble with a perfect gallery of pictures which have cost you nothing, and of which no one can rob you, without knowing just how, and you find yourself in front of the massive and stately Hotel dc Ville, dating from the 16th century. About you, standing in the open place, rise quaint and picturesque homes, many belonging to ancient guilds, and erected several hundred years ago. In all directions run narrow streets bordered by smaller inlervening buildings, even in their decay, keeping acertain dignified air, as if conscious of their long history. In these same busy streets, now full of friendly faces, there were sometimes, years ago, bitter, terrible struggles for life, when the Spaniards murdered the citizens, and the stones were red with innocent blood. The same sweet-toned bells which we hear to-day chiming the hours in their mellow melodious way, far up above us in the blue of the afternoon-sky, chimed as sweetly then above the savage contest raging below. The wharves of Antwerp are busy indeed. The river Scheldt is here filled with steamers and sailing ships of all kinds. The going and coming is endless. Sailors from all parts of the world are here. It is a Babel of languages. In the middle ages, too, Antwerp was a great commercial city. Under the reign of Chajjes V„ it was the most imposing of the world, even surpassing Venice. After protestant Holland, the change to Belgium, with its churches hung with paintings, gleaming with tapers and perfumed with incense ; with its black-robed priests, with its constant reminders of the Catholic faith, is something remarkable. One fancies himself transported to Italy. The streets are here and there rendered strangely picturesque by some carved and colored groups of the " Holy Family," of the Madonna and Christ, of the "Good Shepherd." A church door stands open, you catch the music of a chant in passing; you see some worn and aged face lifted in prayer; the smell of incense reaches you. The churches are numerous—to all the Saints, one would think. Some of them hold most beautiful paintings. In the church of St. James is the tomb of the great painter, Rubens, who died here in Antwerp, in 1640. The splendid palace-like home where Rubens lived, and which he delighted so in adorning, and which was stored with arttreasures, with pictures, with statues and �MAT, 1880. away.

It seemed as if the stately portraits on the walls warmed into life, as one gazed upon them, and out of their satins and velvets smiled in welcome to those coiners of a later day. There are here lordly banqueting halls, reception rooms and library. The mansion incloses a large central court, whose wall" are thickly covered with grapevines, amid whose clustering leaves look out ancient statues and busts.

The same sweet bells in the " Belfry of Bruges" chimes out melodiously the hours as of yore. The streets are peaceful and still as if some enchanter had doomed them to perpetual sleep.

If you come to Bruges some day, for which I hope with all my heart, then do go to the neat little Panier a" Or." You will have the grand "music of the chimes for company. How the mention of the bells of Bruges, of Belgium, fills me with a sort ot longing and homesickness, now so far away. One grows to love the chimes, to watch for their ringing. They seem to pour a flood of melody, of poetry into the most poetic hour and day, with their " deep sonorous clangor." It is perhaps well lam furced to say nothing in reference to Bruges. I might have proved wearisome in my enthusiasm, had 1 been allowed once to begin. Ostend lies not far away from Bruges, and is one of the most fashionable watering places in all Europe where the gay and brilliant summer life of the continent blossoms for a short time on the gray sands, washed by the waves of the North Sea.

How many places we would visit; we would go to Souvani, to Mechlin, to Sournay, but these for another time; and now over the border again, with a glance at Aix-la Chapelle, with its interesting cathedral and memories of Charlemagne, and we take breath again in the shadow of the glorious Cathedral of Cologne, and with heart and brain filled with sweet and pleasant memories of Belgium, look bark once and as to a dearly loved friend, send one more greeting, and " au revoir."

We wrote last from San Francisco, which place we left on the Bth, and arrived in New York on Monday, the 22d of March, via Chicago, Columbus and Philadelphia. During four days of our overland journey, we looked out upon one broad sheet of s<iow, spread over mountain valley and prairie. Without, tbe weather was cold, but within the cars there was warmth and cheer. The facilities for travel have become so systematized and arranged that the tourist has only to commit himself to the railroad officials, and he need entertain no fears that he will not arrive at the end of his journey refreshed rather than worried by his travels. We found attached to our train from Omaha to Chicago a dining car, and meals were served in the very best style of hotel life, and at very reasonable rates. At Chicago we spent the Sabbath, and a day of " holy rest," was most refreshing. In the morning we listened to a sermon from Key. Dr. Noble, and in the afternoon to a most admirable lecture by Dr. Gregory, at the Farewell Hall, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The subject was the Gospel of John, and it was treated in the most interesting and scholarly style. The city of Chicago has suffered severely from the effects of the fire and financial reverses, but the buoyancy and recuperative energies of the people are perfectly marvellous. In San Francisco, on a Monday morning, it was our privilege to meet the Club, composed of Congregational Ministers, so in Chicago, we enjoyed a similar privilege on Monday, the 15th instant. At these gatherings the peculiar phases of ministerial and parochial life are brought forward, essays are read and doctrinal questions discussed. At Columbus, Ohio, we enjoyed the hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Scott, recently from Honolulu. The former is now a member of the House of Representatives, and deeply engaged in the politics of state and nation. He is Chairman on the important Committee of Appropriations for State Charities, including Asylums for the Blind, Deaf and Dumb, &c. During the evening of our brief sojourn, we enjoyed the rare privilege of visiting the Blind Asylum, where nearly two hundred inmates, study, work and wander about " in darkness." There was a most creditable entertainment, embracing exercises in Music, Mathematics. Geography, and one pupil read a passage Irnin Roman History, in Latin, from raised letters. The music was highly creditable. Some performers were quite proficient on the violin, and others on the piano. Some of the young ladies sang most sweetly. For the support of this admirable institution, the State of Ohio appropriates about forty thousand dollars annually. The inmates attend 1880. the several churches of the city as they are inclined. A rapid night's run over the Pennsylvania Central brought us to the beautiful city of Philadelphia. This is a city which we always visit with delight, and where our stay is ordinary too short. It may be a fancy of ours, but the quiet and calm spirit of Perm seems to pervade its atmosphere. The inhabitants do not appear to hurry and rush as they do in New York and Chicago. It is a city of churches, with tall spires and imposing dimensions. On the afternoon of our arrival, it being the season of Lent, we attended an Episcopal Church with an old friend, and heard a most admirable Evangelical sermon from Rev. Dr. Newton, the favorite sermonizer and writer for children, whose name is so intimately associated with the American Sunday School Mission. On the following Sabbath morning we listened to a sermon from the Rev. Dr. Willetts, one of the well-known ministers of the Presbyterian Church. He is a natural pulpit orator and most charming lecturer. It has been our desire for many years to hear him preach, having read with delight his book on the Miracles of our Saviour. Dr. Willetts is a brother-in-law of our old friend Chaplain Rose, of the IT. S. S. Pensacoln, whose visit at Honolulu will be remembered. We spent a most delightful day at his pleasant home with him, surrounded by his most charming family. He is now supplying a pulpit in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, but still attached to the navy. While at Philadelphia we were entertained by our old friend and host of Centennial Damon, Esq., one of Philamemories. delphia's most enterprising merchants. He was formerly in business in Pernambuco, South America, where homeward bound vessels from the Pacific often touched. We have had many pleasant chats about ships and shipmasters, well-known at the Islands. He is a merchant of large experience and far-reaching views, whose wisdom and enterprise are appreciated. Hastening on to New York our first enquiry related to steamers sailing for Europe. We were fortunate to secure our passage per City of Jiertin, Inman line, to sail for Liverpool on the 3d of April. During the interim, before sailing, we make a rapid trip to New England. As we go about this city we are more and more impressed with the greatness and magnitude of this London of the Western World. It seems to have doubled and trebled since we, fii-st came hither. Necessity being the mother of invention, while San Fiancisco may boast over her street railroad cars propelled by steam up hill and down, New York seems to have solved the problem of rapid passenger transit by her elevated railroads. They are a marvel and almost take away your breath, as the cars rush along at lighting speed over your head. It is quite astonishing how very naturally the traveling falls into the customs of the city; traveler one hour in the street cars, at another in the old fashioned Broadway buss, and again taking the elevated railroad and flying through the air. Such rapid journeying was not favor editorial correspondence, and we must close. S. C. D. New York, March 24th, ISBO MARINE JOURNAL. PORTFSHON.LU I. ARRIVALS.

The r»ins, the winds and atmospheric pressure have worn away the rocks or disintegrated them and rolled them into the valleys below, levelling Ibem up not THAT ISSUES a little. Nowhere was a sharp, jagged cone seen ; perhaps Tol on its northern slope may have the most of such an appearance. And yet, from the distance we saw the peak, the gntde to the shores did not seem to be very precipitous. These well-worn hills, —with the fact, too, that all of Ruk's main islands lie centrally within the lagoon, from BEING PRACTICALLY five to eight miles from the shores, with bat a slight fringing reef about them—seem to An Endowment Policy me to indicate the island to be the eldest born of the three sisters, Ruk, Ponape and AT THE Kusaie. Ponape has a large fringing reef within her barrier reef, and the barrier reef LIFE INSURANCE GO. THE ONLY~COMPANY TONTINE INVESTMENT POLICIES. USUAL LIFE RATES. �38 THE FRIEND, is only separated from the mainland some two or three miles, often less than this; while Kusaie, save only on its south and south-western sides, has but little lagoon, as her reef is mainly the fringing reef; subsidence has not yet taken place enough to give the pure barrier reef. But passing to Rule, and the barrier reef is vast. A small sea within washes the shores of the islands. It is a sea, in breadth from 36 to 40 miles. With thete facts we cannot but feel Ruk is older than her two sisters. It should be stated also that Ponape in her hills has quite a rounded, time-worn look; while Kusaie in all her cones and ridges is sharply serrated ; her hill-sides steep, precipitous, her valleys narrow. Is there anything in the fact, the nearer the great continent the older these islands ? Tbe discovery of this island dates back with but little doubt, 276 years—first by Quirosa, the Spanish navigator. Duperry visited it in 1624 ; D'Urville in 1828 and 1838; Lutke in 1828. It has been named Berg's Island, and Torres. Pndre Cautova, while at Guam in 1722, meeting with some Caroline natives, and learning from them them something of the islands, made a chart of them, quite eoirectly locating Ruk, but calling it Hogolu. Ruk, by the natives, is the proper appellative for the island, but the initial sound is somewhat like Svruk, or Truk ; but I think the general pronunciation by the natives was Ruk, pure and simple. And, as has been said, it is the name for the whole island lagoon, as Ponape is for that and Kusaie for that, while each island in the lagoon, large and small, fins its own name. The reef is extensive, sweeping nn irregular circle of 100 miles or more, pierced in many places for passages, its surface crowned with low islands, some inhabited, others not. The productions of Ruk should be abundant, for her soil is good, but they are not. Scarcity of food is a sod and common complaint of the native or the foreigner who may live there But the explanation of all this is inter-tribal wars. No tribe cures to cultivate more than will meet the more necess.iry wants of the people, lest an abun dance of food invite an attack from some hostile neighbor. No doubt the general indolence of the people contributes not a little to (his state of want. The productions seen were breadfruit, bananas, cocoanuts, sugarcane, taro grown in large patches, wild oranges of a more than commonly good quality. Fowls are but few, though it is said the wild China hen is abundant in the bushes. No pigs were seen, nor cattle of any kind. The domestic dog is there, though it does not seem to be common. Fish, though not abundant, are caught in the near waters. The woods tabound, so it is said, in wild pigeons. The lagoon is large ; large craft are needed to sail into it or across it. L >rge proas were seen stored in houses, with a very long and heavy paddle canoe. The Rukite is not a little of a navigator, making voyages to the Mortlock Islands, to the south-east 300 miles, and MAY, I 880. inferior to any native people I have yet seen in Micronesia. The house is low, roof quilo flat, thatched with a variety of the leaf ofihe sago palm, the sides only two or three feet high; ends closed up, save it small hole to crawl into; the floor of earth, unless some leaves are strewn over it. The bed is a simple mat; the sleeper, it would seem, without pillow or blanket, save as he makes use of his poncho or dress of native cloth. The family simply herd together, with ihe simplest means for cooking. The large proa house is the dwelling Of the high chiefs usually, and a little more comfort is here had, but as we saw it neemed but little more, minus quantity. The Rukiie's home is a dismal one, so it seemed to me ; but the Rukite himself, as I saw him, (so 1 may remark of the Mortlocker) taking him all in all, is the finest looking native we have. In stature he may be a little less than the Gilbert islander, as he is in largeness of person, for (he Gilbert islander often has a ponderosity that is just appalling; but the Rukite in complexion is of a fine saffron tinge, his form symmetrical, chest full, limbs round and of good length between joints, his step easy, his eye round and lustrous, lips thin for a Micronesian. nostrils also rather narrow, hair wavy and long. Many of the women were beautiful. The person of a Rukite is in full undress—the men, 1 mean —a tnaro only being the indispensable part of his attire. He often wears a poncho, made in its warp and woof from the bark of the hibiscus and threads of the banana stalk. It has quite a silk-like appearance til! he saturates it with oil and smears it with his yellow ochre. Around the neck long strings of beads, large and black, made from the cocoanut shell, are worn. When shining with oil they look like a small black snake coiled around his neck. And pendent from his ears hang heavy bunches of ihe like kind of beads, a tin or brass button now and then intermingled. The face is smeared with a pigment of red earth and yellow ochre, and so too nearly the whole of the upper part of the body. This adorning does not add much io the man's nor (he woman's good looks The women wear about the loins a piece of rudely woven native cloth, figured so as to look quite pretty. The upper part of the person is in full undress. Youth are without clothing usually. The Rukite in disposition is mild, and so in looks. His nature is mild and loving. As a people they are very impressible, easily led, yielding quite willingly to higher influences. In the moral make up of the people, they are as all heathen are. But it is a pleasant people to live among. The Rukite has been called a savage. Vessels have been warned not to allow too many on deck at once* There is perhaps some ground for this, for at different times vessels have been nearly taken. But this savageness is not the normal condition of tbe people. They have been led to this more, I think, by the ill-treatment of the foreigner than by natural disposition. As the Star ran in close to the land near to which she anchored, the natives fled to the woods and hills or hid away in the bushes. Walking inland and passing a dwelling would so alarm the family that all fled, if it in a corner. A savage, warlike, murdering people would not do this. The Star wus led on her mission by a friendly chief. The news of the missionary work in the Mortlock Islands had reached him. He left his own home, taking wife and child, and passed over (o a small coral island some 30 miles distant. There he met a Christian teacher who had been put there last year, heard him preach, saw his school, felt the new life he had brought to that people, and asked for the same for his people. Nearing the time when the Star would be at that island, ho returned again, and when he met us asked for a teacher. He was in earnest, and promised all that could reasonably be asked. We took him at his word, took him aboard the Star with the teacher with whom he had been staying, whose place was supplied by another, and sailed for his home. On the way we changed his appearance somewhat by dressing him up a little—the first step in the new creation that is yet to pass over him and his. En- tering the lagoon ol his island, the Star headed for his home, neared it, he standing on the deck to pilot the vessel, as well as to see his people. They were too shy, not in open space looking at the vessel, but from behind trees and bushes. They did tint recognise their chief, he was in foreign dress. Tacking about and pulling ashore, so soon as he saw some of his people he called to them and beckoned them out. They came on the rush, for their fear had fled, took nur boat as we landed, pulled it ashore, und we were all led up to the King's house. Our friend soon told his story and introduced us. The King smiled, shook hands with us, was pleased, captured. We made known the object of our coming, and presented a teacher and wife. They were welcomed, accepted, protection promised, and not that only, but help promised to build his dwelling, to build a meeting house, to feed and care for them the year through, all for the part the good man would do in preaching and teaching. We spent one Sabbath at the island. A meeting was held ashore. We were late in going, waiting for the tide. 'The King and our high chief had gathered early in the morning a large crowd, but our non-appearance alarmed them. The King and his Iriend took a canoe and pulled to the Star to see why we had not gone ashore. Such interest aroused us, and waiting no longer for the tide, we pulled ashore, and had a fine audience to talk to. It was an inspiring sight to see these, so lately called savages, and among whom one should not venture unless armed to the teeth—to see them listening so quietly, all unarmed. And it thrilled us to think here were planted the seeds of the new kingdom, yet to grow up, overspread these islands and tame these savage hearts, making them better men, better women, more truthful, pure, honest, kind, fitting them to live a better, truer life here, and above all, fitting them, washed in ihe blood of Christ, when life is over to go up and dwell with Him and all the Redeemed in the " Beautiful City" of our God. We shout all hail to this successful trip of the Star—she completely unarmed, save only as armed with God's word and His then again to other islands to the north and west. His craft is quite well made for voyaging on the ocean, modelled on the plan of the Marshall Island proa, but not so heavy blessed Spirit, and doing all she d id so quietnor so large. In his dwelling, the Kukitc is were possible ; if not, they crowded together ly, so easily, as if among a civilized people. �ADVBRTIBBMIsTTI. Places of Worship. Sramrn's Hktiiki. Key. 188 0. S. C.

The Y. M. C. A. annual meeting which came off this month as advertised, was a decided success owing to the efforts of the courteous host and hostess—W. R. Castle and Lady. The Secretary's and Treasurer's reports are published herewith. That of the President's being of general public interest, was published in one of the Weekly newspa pen, and is worthy the attention ofthoughtful, and thoughtless citizens. Of the present condition and prospects of the Association, the reports are the best indicators and to them we refer our reader. Secretary's Report for the past year, read at the annual meeting. The business man has stated seasons in which he sums up the thousand details of and here it might be well to give statistics. In '77 the average attendance was 9J, and in '78, 10J, which to use the language of the Chronicle of that time shows a small improvement " there having been one-third of a young man more to the meeting this year than the proceeding." In '79, there was still a small advance, the average being lljj, and this year we have come up to 15 5-11. It rests with the members of the Association to decree what the scribe may say at the annual meeting of 1881. There are some peculiarities in the increase of attendance ttiis year, which are significant and worthy of notice. Of the H9 members who joined before 1877, the average attendance has been about 4, while that of the 25 who have become members since '77, has been 9, making 5 over and above that of the older members, which has not been enough to form a quorum, A few years ago the Y. M. C. A. secured a colporteur to evangelize among the Chinese ; the second, ever on the islands. I need not speak of the state of the Chinese Mission all over the islands to-day, it speaks for itself. During the year, prisoners and the sick in the hospital have been visited, a reading room kept open to all, an early prayer meeting in Fort Street Church held every Sunday evening, and other work, done which, but needs time to bring to a working basis ; such as securing employment for strangers. What little we each have done this year as Y. M. C. A. members, would not in all, amount to 3 or 4 days work both in time and money, while the results must be lasting. Who shall then say, that we are not well paid for our trouble.

He does not appear to have originated any more satisfactory explanation of the phenomena that have been described tlmn others who have preceded him in this field of investigation. He admits, more distinctly than some others have done, a possible unknown force as at work in producing the various phenomena of table-tipping, lifting, rapping. But like those of his predecessors who have retained their good sense while trying to find out what is the modicum of truth in the midst of a mess of trickery, superstition, inaccuracies and credulity, he does not acknowledge departed spirits of deceased friends or notabilities as originating these curious phenomena. Rev. Mr. Frear preached on this topic in Fort Street Church one Sunday last month. He took the ground that it was diabolismrather than spiritism which was to be feared. He regarded as a species of blasphemy the overweening curiosity which prompts some people to open doors because they are shut, so far as this whole connected series of phenomena and beliefs may be regarded as an attempt to pry into the mysteries of the unseen and the future, which Almighty Wisdom and Love have not disclosed to human weakness. Elder J. G. Hook has been a sufferer from lung and head troubles since his arrival here, but is now hoping to rejoice soon in complete recovery of health and strength. 25 {©lb Series, M 37.

Not to weary you with .anything like a prolonged description of the different cities which lay along my route. I will just sketch briefly a few of the more interesting points as my memory recalls them If 1 remember rightly, my last letter ended just as our steamer was nearing, in the waning twilight, the famous, valiant old town of Alkmaar, whose Cathedral towers rose dark and shadowy against the dull red ot the evening sky. After the busy und crowded streets of Amsterdam, those of Alkmaar seemed peaceful indeed in the hush of the coming night. It is a singularly picturesque place—perhaps the most so 1 saw in Holland. Its especial historical importance arises trom the brave defence made by its inhabitants against the Spanish in 1573. The old ramparts have been transformed into the most beautiful of promenades, shaded by trees of luxuriant growth, whose leaves, tinted by the early frosts, fell in a shower of gold with every passing breeze. It struck me as being one of the most delicious loitering places one could well desire Here there Punahou School closed last Tuesday for the Easter holidays, if so churchly a term can properly be applied to its short recess. We understand that so far only one of the assistant instructors has consented to remain. Dr. Wood, formerly of Honolulu, now of Jamaica Plain, has shown his appreciation of the importance of this institution by sending on a donation of Sl,OOO to its corporate funds. We hope that others, old patrons or alumni of Oahu College, will remember its needs and help it now to take the new start it needs to meet the increasing demand in this community for a school of high order on a popular basis. The new Library Association numbers already over 1,100 volumes on its shelves. It has recently put up shelving that will accommodate 3,500 books. Any present residents of these Islands, or former residents still retaining an interest in the prosperity of this community, will do a kindly act to help forward this enterprise by a donation of books or money. Many a poor fellow will be kept out of trouble by finding open to him so pleasant a place of resort.

After one has become accustomed to long journeys by sea or land, there is something almost confusing in traveling in such a small country as Holland. You feel as if there is scarcely time to breathe between the different cities. You leave one depot to be whirled into another, and you must be on the alert to keep your impressions of different places from growing dim and uncertain. Holland is covered with a network of railroads, and swift-flying trains have taken the place of the old-fashioned canal boats, which enabled the traveler to leisurely watch the green meadows and picturesque landscapes which have here delighted artists for centuries. were no famous museums to claim one's attention, and the time could be given to the outer world, of which the work of the most famous painter is but a reflex. Canals cat the town in every direction, shaded with trees grown sleepy and drowsy with the weight of the closing year, and dropping one by one likewise their bronzed leafage on the current beneath. The bouses were as bright and clean as any housewife could �26 THE FRIEND, APRIL, wish, and even at this late season balconies and windows were bright with flowers. The morning air was filled with the music of bells, which guided me to the Cathedral, a grey, antique affair, built long before the Spanish guns thunderedabout the city walls. In fact, there is such an ancient atmosphere about it that in some magical way it seems to transform whatever comes within its shadow. I half fancied I had stepped back into some long-vanished century. I found myself at first almost alone in the vast interior, with its lofty white arches and towering organ witb painted front. Stately, awkward pews rose in impressive rows on each side and in front of the pulpit with its heavy sounding board. It seemed as if the worthies of other days, in their white ruffs and stiff black coats, would soon come in and open the ponderous leathern-covered Bibles, with their heavy clasps and dusty borders, which looked as if they had been closed for centuries. But while thus waiting, face after face rose into sight, whether from tbe past or present 1 scarcely know. Figures bowed with the years reverently entered and noiselessly took their places. Then came a tapping of many feet on the cold stone paving of the long aisles, and the most charm- ing of processions appeared. First the girls from the orphan asylum, I think, just over the way, theirround rosy faces bordered by the daintiest little white caps, which their grandmothers might have worn, and their shoulders covered with regular white capes, relieving the sombre blackness of their mourning dresses beneath. Then followed the boys with their masters. It was a picture which an old Dutch painter would hi. ye delighted in. It seemed as if it required all the solemnity of the place, the stately demureness of the straight-backed pews, and the ever-watchful eyes of the teachers to keep all this fresh young life in order, which was forced to content itself with twinkling in a score ofroguish eyes, dimpling in redstained cheeks, and smiling shyly out on row after row of childish lips. Then the organ notes pealed forth and the service began. Sometimes 1 ask myself if, after all, it wasn't a dream of old Holland I had under the white Cathedral arches in Alkmaar. The whole country in the neighborhood of Alkmaar, for miles around, is most interestingly historic. To the west was once the Castle Egmont, belonging to the family of that name, so famous in the history of the Netherlands. Crossing the long stretches of rich, low-lying meadow lands, you come to the grey sand dunes" of the " coast, near which many a hardfought naval battle has taken place. I enjoyed a little excursion by train to the far northern end of the Dutch peninsula, to see some of the enormous piers which have been erected here as a defence against the inroads of the stormy North Sea. It was a mild autumn afternoon ; the grey morning mists had lifted like a curtain, and the sea murmured softly, crooning its old, old song. It is at this northern point, commanding the entrance to the Zuider Zee, that the Dutch Government has built great wffarves and docks and erected important fortifications. But the principal interest of the region is the gigantic mole, which extends far along the coast, constructed of huge blocks of Nor- 1880. granite, and from its huge proportions seeming to have been constructed rather by Titans than men Pleasant as it is to wander along its summit in the genial sunshine, watching the lap of the quiet waters at its weedy base, it must be grandly more impressive to see it besieged on some November night by the white and savagely seething lines of huge breakers, which rise here like mountains. At its farthest end 1 found a superb 'iron lighthouse, recently constructed. To mount to its summit is work almost enough for one day. But it will pay you I think—the view landward and seaward, and the chat with the garrulous, good-humored old keeper, if you are fortunate enough to find him still there. He is a fine old specimen, as strong and true in his way, I fancy, as the granite mole which curves like a huge bow below. You see his father—years, years ago—went down in the cruel white foam just in front of the little fishing village he is pointing out to us, so that the son seems to have felt it as something like a duty laid upon him to rescue all who were in danger of sharing a similar fate, I could scarcely help envying this grey-haired, kind-eyed old man—not the medals and orders on his broad breast, but the memories of brave and gallant deeds which seem to encircle him like a halo. Just off the coast could be seen, now that the water was low, the tops of the masts of a steamer which went down here one dark night a year or two since. But no matter; the people,all that frightened, panic-stricken company, were saved. Our friend battled for their lives like a hero, God bless him ! And now, in his old age, tie still watches the grey sea with an eagle eye, and sweeps the horizon to watch the coming of some new gleaming sail or wreath of smoke. To his left lies the open sea j to his right the misty expanse of the Zuider Zee; not far away the island Texel, with its myriad sea-birds; to the south the fairest of Dutch landscapes. What an old familiar sound there is in the names of the cities which now lie along our route —Harlem, Leyden, the Hague, wegian Rotterdam, Delft. It may have been the Dutch blood in my veins, I scarcely know, but in some way or other I felt as if I were coming home again as these cities spoke their welcome to me. Harlem is a charming city—a picture in itself. (If you want a quiet, delightful little inn, exquisitely neat and sweet and clean, but in no way stately and grand, do go to Dc Gouden Leeuw," the Golden Lion.) "Those terrible old Spaniards meet you everywhere in your travels in Holland. But what superbly brave men and women they found ready to face them and the Inquisition here at the North. The very bare recital of the brave history of Harlem stirs and moves one like martial music. You may remember that the city was besieged seven long, weary, dreadful months by Frederick of Toledo, son of the cruel Duke of Alba. You may recall some of the feats of glorious courage of the citizens,—how even the women, led by the valiant Kenan Hasselour, mounted the ramparts, and over the dead, bodies of their husbands, their brothers, their lovers, fought for their homes, their children, their virtue. Let no one call their work in vain, even though Ihey were forced last to yield ; those seven months make me of the most inspiring pages of history. Though those bloodthirsty Spaniards did butcher the Commandant, the soldiery, hundreds and hundreds of citizens, the clergy, yet they were not in the end the victors, but the vanquished a few years later, as every child knows. Strange, after this baptism of blood, this wild, almost demoniacal fury of struggling hosts, this season of famine, of 'siege, of murder, thit the city ever could settle down to a golden age of peace and prosperity and grand art development; but such was the case. Here you see in the picture galleries the finest pictures of Franz Hals. The city itself is regarded as one of the handsomest of all Holland, and is most at s carefully kept. The most interesting point is naturally the great Square, where stands the Cathedral and many antique and picturesque buildings. On the Place is a fine bronze statue of Coster, whom the Dutch believe to have been the inventor of the art of printing. The Cathedral is rendered doubly interesting by the splendid organ, which was placed there in the last century, and was formerly regarded as the finest in the world. I chanced, fortunately for me, to be there at one of the organ concerts, which are given once or twice a week. Since listening to the wonderful music of the great Fribourg organ, in Switzerland, I think I have heard no organ music which has so moved me. It seemed to fill the great cathedral with hosts of melodious spirits, with the anthems of unseen angel choirs. Recently, most interesting discoveries have been made in the Cathedral. Beneath the white stucco and wash on the pillars have been found rich and elaborate paintings, and these are now being carefully restored. In one wall of the choir is an iron cannon-ball, which dashed through one of the high windows during the Spanish siege, and ever since then has been left in this peaceful resting place—a far better fate than it deserved. In visiting Holland, one is struck by the great fondness of the Dutch for flowers. Their gardens are roost beautiful, and nowhere more so than in and about Harlem. Here are some of the most famous flower establishments of the world, which furnish Europe, and even America, with bulbs and seeds. In fact, flower-culture and production are here carried on on a scale which is something perfectly surprising to one visiting these great gardens. Here you see not simply beds of flowers, but fields of hyacinths, of lilies, of pinks, of tulips. Late ss it was in the season, there were still brilliant autumn flowers in bloom, some of rare and choice varieties. One of these flower firms, that of Krelage & Son, publishes yearly an immense catalogue of their plants. They count their varieties by hundreds, perhaps thousands. The " Tulip Mania" of Holland, in 1636 and 1637, was a most singular matter. Rare and especially beautiful varieties of tulips were bought for fabulous prices. Some of the prices are astonishing. A Viceroy" (white with purple veining) was" sold for 4,200 florins, another for 3,000 florins; an "Admiral Liefkins" for 1,015 florins; a " Bellaart"for 1,530 florins, etc. Still higher prices were �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 27 188 0. sold the once dashing Count Budewde recognise houses, the people, the churches, look as i given for certain varieties which were castle should he come back again > they belonged to some old picture.

He has been succeeded by his brother Alexander, who is the present heir to the Dutch Prince Alexander has recently throne. published a pamphlet endeavoring to defend his brother's memory against the charges of lack of patriotism and unfaithfulness which have been brought against him.

Out of such a glorious past come myriads of voices inciting to effort, to courage, to hope. May the present catch the inspiration, and then we may indeed look forward to a radiant future. F. Williams Damon. Berlin, Jsnuary 27, 1880. APRIL, 1880. (From tbe P. C. Advertiser, Feb. 21.) The Chinese Christians have almost paid for the lot of land which they have purchased on Fort street, mauka of Beretania street, on the Waikiki side. They are expecting by the steamer now due from California a teacher of the Canton or Bun-ti dialect. Most of those residing here, however, are supposed to speak the Hongkong or Hak-kah dialect.

Here we have spent nearly two weeks, and are making our preparations to start on our overland journey on tbe Bth of March. The winter months are reported as having been exceedingly rainy, cold and unpleasant; but we have been highly favored in having a clear sky and most charming weather. It has been pleasnnt to meet many old friends and acquaintances. The daily papers report much uneasiness and excitement consequent upon the adoption of the new Constitution and the anti Chinese agitation. It is asserted their combined result is depressing to business and driving capital out of the State for investment elsewhere to the amount of $30,000,000.' It is believed that this agitation has about culminated, and reports come from Washington to the effect of a remodificiition of the Burlingame Treaty ; but that the Chinese are to be driven out of the State and country no one believes for a moment, although there may be a limit to the numbers allowed to immigrate hither. During our brief sojourn we have enjoyed the privilege of attending several churches and meeting many ministers of the Gospel, and among them several who have visited the Islands. Others express a desire to go, and probably Rev. Dr. Hemphill will go down in the May steamer. On the Sabbath following our arrival, the funeral of Mrs. Green was attended, and the following notice of the same we copy from the Hebrew of March 3d : The funeral of the young Mrs. Green, the" untimely death of whom in the Sandwich Islands we noticed in our last issue, took place Sunday last. Seldom has there been witnessed such a deepfelt sorrow as displayed by the many who came to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased lady. Among the. mourners were the children (to whom the late Mrs. Green had been a voluntary, kind teacher) of the Synagogue Sherith Israel. The funeral sermon, delivered at the grave by Rev. Dr. Vidaver, was most eloquent, and deeply affected all present." Our visit to Mills Seminary and Oakland was exceedingly pleasant. " The Island girls" form an important element in the school. On one evening while there, we listened to a most charming lecture on the " Reminiscences of Authors," by Mr. Bartof the Bulletin. He discoursed most lett, BA P.

We are happy to learn that there are many earnest Christian workers among the various cburc'ies 1,1 i!ns riiy. They are doing a good and noble work. An old friend whom I knew in former years has been doing a good work among the lads of the city. He has induced some 3,001) to sign the following pledge ; •' God helping me, 1 will hereafter abstain from the u»e of all intoxicating beverages, beer, wines, cider or tobacco. Nor will 1 indulge in profane swearing, stock-gambling, lying, stealing, adultery or slandering." We coifld add much more about efforts now being made to reform the wayward and assist the needy. We heard the Rev. Dr. Noble preach an excellent sermon on the " Sins of the City," and he- is to preach again upon the " Needs of the City." Although we enjoy the making of new acquaintances and reviving old friendships, yet we do not forget those whom we have left in our Island home, who rejoiced with us in days of prosperity and so tenderly sympathized with us in our sorrow. May peace and prosperity ever attend them. A Remarkable Indian Mission. BY PROF. GF.O. MOOAR, D. D., OAKLAND, CAL. Attention has lately been called to the condition of the Indians in Alaska Territory. Ten years and more have gone since the United States took possession of the country. Not until within two years past was anything done for the moral, and very little for the political, welfare of the population. The Presbyterians have now in operation a religious and educational work at Port Wrangle. Mrs McFarland, who conducts it deserves the warm recognition which she is beginning to receive. The number,of Indian and Aleutian population in the territory is estimated at 110,000. It is exceedingly interesting to note, in various reports which have been made by government officials, the warm praise accorded to an Indian mission «nd colony in Metluketla, in the neighboring region of British Columbia. Some three years ago, while our American Deputy Collects was at Port Wrangle, a fleet of eight canoes hove in sight. It was certified that the canoes came from the British town, and were loaded with goods worth several thousand dollars, which were bought at this missionary town, and were on the way to the Alaska Indians for sale. A clear case o( smuggling, thought the collector, and gave chase; but in vain. A smuggling missionary! That sounds rather unpleasant. But it is admitted that matters have been so loosely attended to there that free trade has never been regarded as a crime. On the same page which records the chagrin of the officer of our revenue, is paid the most decided compliment to the founder and leader of this Indian colony. The career and success of this missionary are full of interest and suggestion. Some twentyfive years ago, a gentleman was walking 1880. through the streets of Beverley in England. cry male ; settlements of all controversies by He heard a boy singing, whose fine voice arbitration or by law; the erection of neat arrested him.

Amsterdam, the capital of Holland,'that quaint old Dutch city on the V, is, as every one will say, highly interesting, even when the clouds of damp grey mist float in from the Zuidersee, so potent is the charm of history and art. But those who were so happy as to visit this city in the early days of last September will, I am convinced, agree with me in saying that it was absolutely and entirely delightful. This was in part, perhaps, owing to the weather, and this was perfect. The days were rich in golden, mellow autumn sunshine, and the nights crowned with silver moonlight, which seemed to rest like a blessing on tbe shadowy old towers, the slumbertng trees and thousand winding canals of the city. I pay with pleasure this tribute to the exceeding loveliness of these rare days; and now we enter the city, where I fancy we shall find a more kindly welcome, in our garb of peaceful travelers, than had we come a few centuries ago with the clanking armor, the heavy helmets and cruel swords of Spanish soldiers. What stormy times peaceful old Amsterdam saw in its younger days ! Quaint old Erasmus of Rotterdam said he knew a city whose inhabitants lived of trees," meaning "thelike cranes, on theoftops Amsterdam ; and -his good burgers comparison was not so very bad after all. The whole city (imagine it) is built on piles, sunk in tbe mud of this most watery and marshy region. What a race of beavers they are, these sturdy, patient Dutch ! It would seem as if this earth of ours, with all its firm land, might have sufficed without this invasion upon the domain of the sea. Think of all the glorious stretches of plain and prairie there are left untitled and uninhabited, and then of this marshy Dutch coast, where land has been made in the midst of the wares and stately cities have arisen. Surely that old Adamic curse of work, which has ended in being a blessing, has been fulfilled here a thousand-fold, Amsterdam is one oi the roost interesting cities it has been my good fortune to sea in the old world. You know its long and important history, and that it is one of the leading commercial cities of Europe to-day. �18 THE FRIEND, MARCH, but not the place of royal residence, as the King prefers the Hague. The city is intersected by innumerable canals, crossed by hundreds of bridges. All this, with tire quaint architecture*of the houses, tends to produce a most picturesque effect. The harbor is a forest of masts. Ships of all sizes, and steamers little and great, under the flags of all nations, make rendezvous here. The wharves are a Babel of languages and accents. Occident and Orient seem here to meet, and the wealth of the Indies is disclosed under this grey Northern sky. There are odors of the East, a perfume of spices, mingling with others less aromatic and poetic. The colonial possessions of Holland are so extensive and important that the intercourse between them and the mother country is naturally on a very large scale. There is a remarkable staidness and solidity about the city, which I find in no way at variance with its picturesqueness. Here one sees most evident traces of the proverbial Dutch cleanliness. The exterior as well as the internsVeems to be cleaned and scoured. 1 was especially struck by a very clever arrangement which facilitated this. This was a species of pump, placed in a tub or bucket of water, with which the servant standing in the street could send a copious shower on to the windows and house, which seemed in a droll way of its own used to this perpetual ablution. Houses as well as people grow to be amphibious here! There is an especial charm in an early morning walk through the streets of Amsterdam. The life of the city begins 'early and continues late. The streets are sometimes the liveliest towards midnight. This is astonishing, after Germany. You see scarcely any long avenues here. All the houses, or a very large majority, face the canals, from which they are separated by broad streets or promenades. In the qnieter portions of the city, where the wealthy merchants live, the canals are shaded by long and beautifully symmetrical rows of elms and other trees, which with the water sparkling in the sunlight, the noble bridges, the stately and carefully kept facades of the houses, make a most interesting, if quiet picture. Certainly a remarkable quiet reigns here in these early morning hours. There is a delicious drowsiness in this calm retreat, broken only now and than as some oar cuts the green waters of the canal. A little farther on we should find it more animated. What a bustle and stir along the quays. How much wealth goes in and out of these lofty, narrow stores and business houses, which run up, up towards the blue sky, ending in some quaint device at the top! They are grey with age ; some of them have seen better days. Tbey have been the palaces of stout and dignified burger princes of long ago. Climb their narrow winding stairways, dive into their dusky, cobwebby" corners, and you would find many a rare bit ot ancient glory— sculptured marbles, richly carved woods and faded tapestries. At every turn some strikingly interesting building faces you,—a thousand historic memories fling their shadows upon your way and claim a bearing. We wander on, scarcely thinking of the way we take. The Jewish quarter of this old city is in its way strangely interesting. What a " 1880. spot for a painter ! Quaint gabled houses ; gipsy-like encampments of fruit-venders and old clothes sellers in the midst of the streets; lanes so narrow that those Jewish girls, gossiping high up in the air, can almost touch bands across ; groups of men, women and children in " antique" garments, with still a touch of Oriental brilliancy about them'; and, above all, that indispensable requisite of artistic confusion—dirt! I have scarcely ever seen anything more entertaining, more revolting than the Jewish quarter what famous naval victories Holland has won ! The church is admirably, gracefully adorned in Gothic style. But now our cheery guide (of all guides in this old world give me a bright-faced old lady, in pleated cap and musical with jingling keys, no one will serve you better,) is going through tbe most energetic pantomime to tell us that it is time for us to take our places. And sure enough, presently the little bridal train comes in—very simple, exceedingly bourgeois, but 1 find it, after all, quietly touching and tenderly poetic. There is a very great deal of blushing ! The bride has a hat with white lace band and a black dress—for this is a very sensible and economical way they have of doing here. It can serve afterwards for all future state occasions—for Sundays, for baptisms and funerals The groom has a pink flower in his buttonhole, and seems very happy, his happiness rendering him almost graceful. It is an odd, striking little picture. It is just about noon-time on some prosaic week-day. Without is the great hurrying world; within, this quiet group. in Amsterdam. Spinoza, the " Father of Modern Philosophy," was born in Amsterdam in 1632, tbe son of a Portuguese Jew. Just out of this Hebrew quarter, in " Sint Anthonies Breestraat," No. 68, is the house where the great Rembrandt lived for many years. I scarcely think, should he come back to Amsterdam, that he would take up his abode again there. It might interest him to see, however, that a simple marble slab marks the spot What a search it was to find it! The Portuguese Jews are the diamond cutters of the city, and, in fact, seem to possess the secret of this delicate The splendid gothic arches and pillars rise ait. in their glorious symmetry about us. In One breathes more freely coming out into front is the marble figure, wrapped in his the sunlight again, especially if by .chance mantle, of old Dc Ruyter. The clergyman, his way has led him on to that noble in black gown and white bands, reads the open " Place," the principal one of the city, marriage service and says something so very where the Palace is situated. This is really kindly and tenderly that the Dutch gutturals the heart o( the city; everything seems, as grow soft and musical. On one side stand it were, to take here its life. There before a pair of English travellers in tweed suits you is the Bourse, at noon-time crowded with red-covered guide-books in their hands, with noisy, busy life—one' ofw the most im- looking on. A few friends group around the portant exchanges of the world. With a pair. A hymn is sung—though In rather a certain delightful naivete, all the great mer- faltering way, with singular sweetness ; and chants of the city give way once a year, this new life, this union of two in one, is some time in August or September, to the begun, and in a twinkling we are all out children, who for a week hold possession of again in the hurrying streets.

There was to me something charmingly inspiring in the city, not only in its wonderful historic and artuyc past, but also in its active living presenSlFlt abounds in charitable institutions. The care here paid to the blind is especially worthy of note. I regretted that my limited time did not permit of my inquiring more definitely into the workings of the Maatschappig tot Nut van't Algemeen, or Association for the furtherance of the general good, which has its principal bureau in Amsterdam. It was founded by a Baptist minister in 1784, and its good workings is felt through all Holland. Its objects are, the raising of the standard of popular education, the circulation of good literature, the diffusing of knowledge generally, the promotion of good morals, the support of widows and orphans, and others dowry equally praiseworthy. The Seamen's Home is a fine building, erected 1856. I spent one evening in the brilliantly lighted Zoological Garden (one of the finest and best arranged in Europe), where hundreds of the good people of Amsterdam were gathered for a concert. The friendly and family groups under the arching trees made a charming picture. Here I noticed that nearly every one had tea, instead of beer, as in Germany. 1 shall always remember with pleasure my walk home on the same evening along the ship-crowded wharves. It was so still and peaceful and the air so balmy that I half fancied myself again in the tropics. The moon shone in all its beauty, and the river Ij, the arrowy masts of a thousand ships, the winding canals, the fantastic bouses, the grey towers, seemed transfigured in the silvery light. REMBRANDT AND THE PICTURE GALLERIES OF AMSTERDAM. It were wiser for me, in these brief and hastily written sketches, to avoid altogether mentioning the subject of Dutch and Flemish art; the field is too great, too important, in a certain sense too sacred, to be touched upon lightly and superficially. And yet I can scarcely walk with you through the streets of Amsterdam without for a moment speaking of Rembrandt, whose home was here. At least one-half your time in visiting the Netherlands will, I am sure, be spent in the Picture Galleries ; they are the rightlul glory of these little countries. To study Dutch and Flemish art, one must come here to the fountain-head. You may see scattered pictures of Dutch and Flemish artists all over Europe, but it strikes me that here alone you can rightly understand them. You walk the streets they walked, look upon the same faces which you see painted in their pictures —enter, as it were, into their very life. I can scarcely compel my pen to 19 1880. stay within its prescribed limits. The very mention of this subject seems like the opening of the floodgates, and the great waves of joyous memories, of the hours and days I spent in the compauy of Rembrandt, of Rubens, of Potter, Franz Hals and the other masters, rush in upon me, almost overwhelmingly. I would wish to avoid anything that might seem like sentimental exaggeration, but I can truly say that as I have come forth from some of these worldfamous galleries, I have with difficulty re- frained from shouting from very joy, and though months have now crept in between those days and these, I feel that the inspiration and delight they were to me then grows, like wine, stronger and sweeter with time. Amsterdam, as I was saying, was the home of Rembrandt, one of the greatest artists the world has ever known, —the Shakspeare of painting, as Tame so rightly calls him. He was born in Leiden about 1607, and died in Amsterdam, where he spent the most important portion of his life, in 1667. Everyone is familiar with his peculiar style of painting, the contrasts of light aod shadow, the illumination of one particular point in a painting. You will pardon me for giving one or two words from Taine's suggestive pages on this artist. They are themselves so exquisitely beautiful that they have run in my mind for days, like music : " Ho rendered this atmosphere palpable and revealed to us its mysterious and thronging population ; he impregnated it with the light of his own country—a feeble yellow illumination like that of a lamp in a cellar; he felt the mournful struggle between it and shadow, the weakness of vanishing rays dying away in gloom, the treoMouaness ofreflections vainly clinging to gleaming walls, the sum of that vague multitude of half darks which, invisible to ordinary it not for the near presence of amber and brown and dusky black shadows of unfathomable depth. It is this element of mystery which he holds over you like a mugician. But his power lies, most of all, in his nearness to nature and humanity. His paintings are, as it were, animated by some impassioned soul! With Rembrandt's name begins a long list of artist names which have a world-wide celebrity. I may perhaps recall a few by name—more is here impossible: Ruisdael, Ter Burg, Paul Potter, Gerard Dow, Jaa Steen, Teniers, Van der Heist. Amsterdam, with its numerous galleries, easy of access, furnishes for the visitor, whether his Stay be long or short, a rich and satisfying feast. UTBECHT. I went down by train one lovely moonlight evening to Utrecht, spent that night there in a charming little Dutch inn, and next day rambled about the old town. Old indeed it is, for it is one of the old cities of Holland, and that is saying much. In Utrecht is a famous University,"numbering something like 500 students. In Ecclesiastical history Utrecht has played an important role. To-day it is a charmingly fresh and cleanly city, beautiful with blossoming gar- dens and pleasant homes. 1 climbed up the long winding stone stairways of the Cathedral tower, and when once at the summit felt loath indeed to leave. The view is extensive, commanding almost all of Holland and other provinces over the border. The verdant landscape lay bathed in a delicious wealth of golden autumn sunshine, varied by beautiful groves of trees, through which the red-tiled roofs of villages and country homes gleamed in the noon-sunlight, intersected at every turn by winding canals and silver streams. The suburbs of the city are wonderfully charming. 1 rode several miles gaze, seetn in his paintings and etchings to form into the country, nnd it seemed as if the ena submarine world, dimly visible through an tire way was bordered by stately avenues of abysa of waters. On emerging Irom this obscurlawns, and the ity, the full light, to his eyes, proved a dazzling trees, beautiful gardens and shower ; he felt, as it were, flashes of lightning, comfortable often luxurious mansions and or some magical effulgence, or as myriads of villas of wealthy merchants. beaming darts." The finest collection of pictures in Holland is in Amsterdam, and the finest picture of the collection is the " Night Watch" of Rembrandt. It represents one of the ancient guilds of Amsterdam, and depicts its members in holiday attire, and is one of the most superb pieces of artistic coloring in the world. The figures, life size, seem fairly stepping out of the canvas to greet you. The effects of light and shadow are marvelous. In the Royal Gallery at the Hague is a striking painting by Rembrandt, strangely, painfully fascinating. It presents to us a famous anatomist of that day, surrounded by an eager group of listeners, before whom is placed a corpse, explaining the wondrous mechanism of the human body. Neat this is an exquisite picture, a the Temple." The Holy " Presentation inhigh Child and the priest are bathed in a flood of golden light. But I must not allow myself to specify. I know of no painter who has so strangely moved me as Rembrandt. There is something almost intoxicating in his marvelous coloring; you would be perhaps blinded and dazzled by his glorious crimsons and lustrous golds, were ZAAMDAM AND PETER THE GREAT. One could spend day after day making excursions by steamer, by sail or foot from Amsterdam out, and all of tbem pleasant and interesting. There is Hoorn, Pumerende, and above all funny, neat little Brock, which has the most evincible renown of being the cleanest place in t/ie world- Nearly all the inhabitants of this model little nook are engaged in the making of " Edam" cheese. The houses, most of them are picturesquely painted in white and green. Zaandam is an interesting town, only an hour or two trom Amsterdam by boat. The view of that city from the water in leaving was most imposing. Everybody comes to Zaandam to see the little log cabin where Peter the Great lived for a number of months, when he came to Holland to learn how the Dutch made their ships, and worked (his rank unknown) as a common laborer, in the sweat of his brow, on the wharves. The story is a very fine and interesting one, and will amply repay any one who looks it up in Russian History. One of the late Queens of Holland, a Russian Princess, bought ihe little hut and had a larger building constructed over it, in order to protect!, from the weath- �20 THE FRIEND, MARCH, er. It is a rough, little affair, with two rooms, one containing a huge fire place, the other being the bedroom of the Czar of all the Russias. It is visited by thousands of people. I chanced to be in Zaandam quite at tbe right time. It was '• Kirmess "or the Autumn Fair. The streets were alive with country people and filled with gayly ornamented booths, and all manner of " shows " All this gay color and life was a very pleasant addition to the picturesque town. BY WATER TO ALKMAAR. My longing to see in reality, in all its poetic charm here in Holland, what I had so often seen in the paintings of Dutch landscapes was fullyagratified one rare afternoon and evening between Zaandam and Alkmaar. It seemed as I stood on the deck of the steamer as if one lovely and characteristic picture after another whs unfolded before me. Our way lay partly on by river, partly by broad canals. Now and then great boats swung down the river, crowded with huge tawny, brown sails, which rose in a stately way against the fair and tenderly tinted sky of the coming evening. Some of them seemed to be the homes of entire families, and in their way had a <;ozy, snug hole, at least the parents nnd rosy checked children seemed contented. Quite down to the waters edge came pretty Bnd trim little gardens, and hundreds of bouses, (all of them wonderfully neat and orderly, and some bearing over the gable or at the side some pleasant and poetic name) brought the people near to me. 1 en" homes "of thethe family life—the gatherjoyed picturing ings in the garden, the father with his evening pipe, the mothers and daughters at their knitting, the boys engaged in their sports. Far off the horizon appeared spires of village churches, stately manor, houses peeped through the trees. Hundreds of windmills to right, to left, of all sizes and ages, rose like the trees of a forest along our way This is the very Paradise of windmills. Then came wile and glorious stretches of meadow land, where wandered the famous sleek and gentle-eyed cattle of Holland. Here and there were scattered groups of laborers, though the twilight had already begun to gather, others were leisurely taking their way homeward. The low lands were covered with silvery, fleecy bands of floating mist. The night air came in soft, cool waves over the water against the pale, rosetinted sunset sky came a shadow, taking as we drew nearer the forms of stately towers, sending us messages of welcome from the 188 0. of a shrewd obsaSrer in the Vice-ConsulGeneral of the United States at Melbourne. In a recent report to the Department of State at Washington, he comments on the peculiar relation in which the colonies stand towards the Union. They fight the Americans with their own weapons—high duties and partiality to native industry. It may be advisable, therefore, thinks the Vice-ConsulGeneral, to come to terms with them. At present they levy heavy taxes on all American produce—lumber, tobacco, tinned meats, hardware, tools, etc. It would be an obvious advantage to American manufacturers to have these obstructive duties reduced, and such a magnificent customer as Australia might be beguiled into reciprocity. Australia has one staple export, her unrivalled wool, which America is compelled to use whether she will or not. It cannot be produced in the States, and native wool growers are not in the least benefited by the high duty it has to pay. The Vice-ConsulGeneral proposes a bargain with Australia, in which, for the sake of easy admission of her wool into the States, she would favor the consumption of American tinned meats, tools and hardware at the Antipodes. Should the Department of State take action on this very plausible advice it will soon learn that its Melbourne agent has sent it after a willo'-the-wisp. It is a fundamental condition of self-government in every Australian colony that no differential duties shall be levied. The Scholar's Love for the Bible in the Original.

Honolulu. — , . — * » * �111 X FRIEND, MARCH. 22 We had the pleasure, by a recent mail, to receive two neatly written letters, one from a lady aged 86, nnd the other from a lady aged 92 both written in a style of penmanship which would make some young ladies in their school days quite blush. One resides in Massachusetts and tbe other in Kansas, to which she had just removed from lowa, a distance of 500 miles of land travel. What seems quite noteworthy, both referred to Hawaiians who visited America before the arrival of the missionaries here in 1820. Mrs. Nelson, widow of Dr. Nelson, late pastor of the church in Leicester, thus writes under date of Nov. 17 : "I have ever felt n great interest in the Sandwich islands, having known tbe first missionaries who went from our country to that place. That company collected and dined in our village before they left Thomas Hopu stood on the steps of a dwelling-house surrounded by the missionary group and many villagers, and offered a prayer ; so we took leave of them. On the 15th of October last I crossed the threshold of my ninetysecond birthday. Shadows have followed the sunshine, but I have had more lights than shadows in my pilgrimage. I have had a pleasant journey. Though the billows swell, we will trust the pilot that can carry us safely to the desired shore—the haven of rest." Our other correspondent in Kansas, thus writes : " I have always kept the mission to the Sandwich Islands in mind more than any other, having had a niece there, and all the circumstances of its first beginning being fresh in mind. Henry Obookiah having lived in my sister's family, and I occasionally visiting there, made lasting impressions." [From the Literary World.) 1880. before him, intending to read and make his memoranda as he goes along; but hour after hour slips by, and when the lamp is burning low, and the fire is dying out, and the book has been read from back to back, the critic rouses himself to the discovery that he has not made a single pencil-mark on the margin or on the blank paper which he so conscientiously placed upon his desk. The fact is, Miss Bird visited such extraordinary scenes, and accomplished her travelling in such an extraordinary fashion, especially for a lady, that she almost takes our breath away, and we simply read on and on the story which she tells and the pen nnd ink pictures or word paintings which she gives, with keenest zest, and in the most uncritical fashion possible. Miss R ird certainly is not a lady to be satisfied with a beat in a first-class carriage or a Pullman's car. She did the greater part of her journey in the Rocky Mountains on horseback, sitting astride her saddle like a man, wearing a dress (no doubt a graceful one, although it got almost worn to pieces before she had done with it) which she had had made for her and had used in the islands of the Pacific, and having no company but that of her horse and of such acquaintances, often of the wildest and rough est kind, as chance and the exigencies of travel compelled her to pick up. She found her way in a truly marvelous manner across vast and sometimes trackless wastes ; she pressed on, now through blinding snow and frozen rain which caused the blood to start when it struck the face, and then through blazing, torturing, sickening heat; she forded innumerable streams, lakes and rivers, sometimes crossing over on ice and dropping into tbe ice-cold water when half-way over, and then having to ride on with benumbed limbs throuch fierce cold and frost for hours before she could find the rudest shelter or the roughest food; she slept generally on hay or straw, and was fortunate when she could get the coarsest blankets, while the wind drove freely through the open chinks of the log hut in which she had found refuge, and in the morning she had to sweep the snow or mud from the floor before she could complete her toilet; her food was often not only of the plainest kind, but sometimes of the scantiest in quantity; once the A Lady in the Rocky Mountains.* Miss Isabella L. Bird is already known to a considerable and appreciative public by her •' Six Months in the Sandwich islands," a book which abundantly testifies to her enthusiastic love of traveling adventure and her very exceptional powers of vivacious description.

Colorado of whom Bret Harte has given us such vivid sketches, and whose reckless dissipation, extravagant eccentricities and strange inconsistencies, in which a daredevil rascality is often blended with a certain simplicity and nobleness of nature, make them seem, to stay-at-home readers, like creatures of fiction rather than of real life. It is fair to mention, however, that, writing still of Colorado, Miss Bird goes on to say : "There is a manifest indifference to the higher obligations ofthe law,'judgment, mercy and faith;' but in the main the settlers are steady, there are few flagrant breaches of morals, industry is the rule, life and property are far safer than and Scotland, and the law ot**universal respect to women is still in full force." On the last mentioned point Miss Bird's testimony is repeated and emphatic, and reflects much honor upon the population through which she passed and amongst whom she lived under such very singular conditions, —traveling alone, without arms, and altogether in a way which must have struck even those most remote from the ordinary currents of civilization as somewhat odd. During all her strange adven- tures and rencounters, she met, she tells us, with " nothing but civility, both of manner and of speech," except in a solitary instance, which, however, was not a serious one. '• I have seen," she writes in her last letter, "a great deal of the roughest class of men, both on sea and land, during the last two years, and the more important 1 think the mission' of every quiet, refined, self-respect'ing woman, the more mistaken 1 think those who would forfeit it by noisy self-assertion, masculinity, or fastness. In all this wild West ihe influence of woman is second only in its benefits to the influence of religion, and where the last unhappily does not exist, the first continually exerts its restraining power." Midnight Gathering at Tapiteuea.– We have received a letter from the Key. E. T. Doane, who sailed in the Morning Star. It is dated July 9th, while the vessel was cruising among the Gilbert Islands. He thus writes : " It was pleasant to ' come to' under the lee of the island. 1 took the Captain's gig and pulled in with a native or two over the covered flats, and reached the native teacher's house—Moses. It was near midnight. Natives, as soon as they heard of our arrival, spread the report and came rushing together, having put on their Christian dresses—white shirts for the men and calico dresses for the women. Each came bringing a cocoanut full of native molasses. A beautiful incident was this, for somewhere or somehow the Lord had touched their hearts, and they were more willing to give than receive. It was not long ere we had n large company, all seated on mats and quite decorous. Do you know bow wild these Gilbert Islanders are ? But here, at midnight, we sang and prayed together. ' There is a Happy Land ' was the melody we sung. There, on ftbat wild sand-beach, there was singing ana praying to a late hour." �Places of Worship. APVERTISEI*II.stJTS. Seamen's Bethel—Rev. S. C.

Please give attention to the following Association notices : A weekly Thursday evening meeting for Christian young men is held in the side rooms of Fort Street Church vestry at 7 o'clock p. m. Let them receive support. The undersigned, the Eonplovment Committee of the Y. M. C. A.of this city, solicit business firms, business men, and in general all who wish employees, to apply to them for the same, as there are now numbers of employees waiting for applications through the above Committee. Sanfobd B. Dole. E. Donscombe. B. F. Dillingham. The Y. M. C. A. Reading-room, on the second floor of the Sailors' Home, opposite the Post Office, is open every evening to strangers and ail who wish to come. In looking over a number of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. Watchman, we see notices of the Young Women's and the Commercial Travelers' Christian Associations—something new to us. Verily we are marching at quickstep. The time seems to have come when branch y. M. C. Associations on a small scale could be started with advantage ut points on the other islands—say Kohala and Wailuku. The present influx of strangers would give such Associations work to do, and work done insures life to any society. A small reading room could be started and a committee appointed to visit the sick, if nothing more. Our Y. M. C. A. has at least a member in each of the above localities. Let them consider this suggestion. Some thirty years ago, the pastor of the Bethel, one Sabbath morning, while on the way to the chapel, invited a young whaleman he met on the street to attend service with him. The boy did not attend, but after thirty years, coming back here as a lieutenant on an American ship of war, called upon the pastor, and recalling the long-forgotten circumstance, said that he had come to apologize for not accepting his invitation, which he had never forgotten, and the refusal of which had caused him uneasiness sufficient to keep the otherwise trivial occurrence fresh in his memory for the past thirty years. murder of Harris by Wil iams during the past month adds still further to the long list of evilsresulting from strong drink. " Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup. At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." Many of humanity have fallen through wine since these words were uttered, and many more are yet to fall. It seems almost idle to say to young men, beware ! Experience, though black and bitter, seems the only teacher that the majority will listen to, and then because they cannot do otherwise. Again.—The The Library and Reading-Room Association.—After the many degraded and degrading sights and sounds that one meets with in parts of Honolulu of an evening, it is a pleasant relief to step into the welllighted room of this Association, on the second floor of Williams' brick building, there to take a view of the other side of the question. The Library, thanks to recent donations, now numbers over 1,000 volumes. Some fifty different periodicals and papers are spread out on the different tables, and the members number over two hundred. The number of persons who step in to read during the evening averages between 10 and 15, while others take their reading matter 24 ChYAMrsiooetucann'gHf onolulu. home. One member lately come among us has said that he thought he would have retreated from this place long ago had it not been for the Reading-room, and the general sentiment is that it is a step in the right direction. A Fair may be held some time during the coming months for the benefit of this, the public's adopted child, when all are expected to do the fair thing. Any who are hindered from doing their share in this manner might help as much and more by a donation of books to the Library. New Bedford, Mass., U. S., Feb. 6th, 1880. To the Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu : Dear Brethren 1 was very much interested in an account recently given me by a seaman about the Sandwich Islands. He gave me the name of Mr. Damon as the missionary. Mr. Damon may or may not remember him—William M. Taylor. 1 dropped a line to our city missionary, T. R. Dennison, asking the full name of Mr. Damon, and he called and gave me some copies of The Friend, of which one page, I observe, is conJucted by you. Now, I should like very much to put The Friend regularly upon our Association readingtable and to advertise it as one of the attractions to our rooms—a paper from the far-off Sandwich Islands. 1 desire to keep my membership posted on what is going on abroad in our line. : Give my hearty God-speed to Mr. Damon and accept it for yourselves. Sincerely yours, W. P. Webster, General Secretary of Y. M. C. A. S.—As an item of news, you may say P. that the State of Massachusetts has called, as State Secretary, Mr. S. M. Sayford. who was General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Syracuse, N. Y. A very delightful reception was given him on the evening ot Feb. 4by the State Executive Committee, in the parlors of the Boston Y. M C. Association.
