Though so many, many and ridicule of the Formalist portion of the years have come between that past and our Church.

The soul was slowly is a city of great names and memories. As : ! an educational centre, especially in the department of Theology, it has offered rare privileges to a great throng of students, not alone from various parts of Germany, but from other European countries, and from America. Its University, while still enjoying sn excellent reputation,has been eclipsed, now, by the great Universities of Leipsig and Berlin. Still, Halle, if for no other reason than its past, cannot fall to attract many students. Later on in the winter I may send you a little sketch of this city, so picturesquely and beautifully situated on the peacefully flowing river Saale and mention some of those names which have united to give this University so important a position. For quiet, student life, the town seems almost ideally attractive, and is full of a charm which those great and busy cities, where some of the German Universities are situated, can never offer. But now it is my object to speak of the Halle of well-nigh two hundred years ago. When Francke first came here to enter actively upon those charges which had been entrusted to him, the University had been opened but a short time, and he entered with earnestness upon his professional duties. But he was not less zealous in his duties as pastor. In our day, though our charities are far from being as extensive and well managed as they should be, yet they are so far in advance of those of that remote day, that it is almost impossible for us to conceive of the poverty and destitution which this young pastor was forced to see in his parish. His great, noble heart was kindled with zeal to do what he could for the oppressed and poverty-stricken and forsaken members of his flock. He gathered the children from the street about him, instructed them, and gave them such assistance as he was able. But his own limited means allowed him to do but little. He turned in this way ana that. He endeavored, through soliciting contributions, to gain some assistance. He wrote and published, and the profit frOm the sale of his writings he consecrated to the poor. In his house he placed a little contribution box, >n the hope that through this some aid might come. And help was nearer than he thought. One day a lady placed there a small sum, only a few thaiers, but small as it was, it was destined to produce mighty results. Francke welcomed it as a token of promise, and on the very same day began, definitely, those labors on behalf of children which, after a lapse of two centuries, are continued with such beneficial results. What lessons are contained in the little things of life! The '• Widow's Mite," was, and is, deemed worthy of the Master's Blessing. The glory, the beauty, the power, of human effort lies in these little beginnings. Every life bears within it the seeds of tbe grandest achievement and noblest heroism ! What encouragement and incitement there is for each one, no matter how humble the stand, how limited the resources, to grand and glorious faith and deeds, which shall bear blessed fruit for time and eternity! On this small capital, then, Francke began his work. At first the outlay called only for a few books, and a teacher, engaged for a short time. But this was something. Soon another little contribution box found a place in the pastor's house, and as the young pas- �tor's heart grew great with hope, and longing, and tender desire, his prayers became an earnest cry for help. Like the early drops of a shower, which is later to abundantly bless the earth, little offerings began to come from one side and another. An interest was awakened in-the city of Halle, and in different parts of the country. The school for poor children steadily increased. Then one by one those children who had no parents or friends to care for them, found in Francke, as it were, an earthly father sent by their Heavenly Protector to watch over them ; these were given a home, and food, uud clothing. Then a school for children of wealthier parents was opened. The progress of Faith never ceased. We, who see the results in this later day, read of the mighty operations which date from that distant time, admire the splendid buildings which have been reared, one after another, forget the first steps which led up to all this. What times of discouragement- and of difficulty this brave worker must have had! On one side he was occupied with the duties of his University Professorship; on another with his labors as a pastor of a poor and needy parish. Then his enemies and persecutors gave him no rest, and his pen must be kept busy to defend himself or his faith against false charges which were brought against them. And then there were growing up as answer to his prayers and effort, various schools and organizations, which called for constant and discriminating attention. A general commanding a mighty army in the midst of some fierce engagement, is an impressive figure ; lifted for the time to an heroic and almost superhuman height! How infinitely more so is such a leader, who is at the same time a herald of peace I Towards Easter of the year 1695, he began his first slight efforts. In 169S the corner-stone of an Orphan Asylum was laid! There were those who laughingly and sneeringly predicted thai it would never be completed. They lived to see how little worth their prophecies had. Others came to help. The rich and poor gave out of their abundanceand their poverty. Francke, not contented with gathering the orphans about him,remembered also the poor who were in need of proper food. Hundreds were the recipients of this bounty. Sometimes there was seemingly no possible means of carrying on the various efforts for good. At times those in charge came to tell him that there was no money left to supply the wants of so many hundreds for the ensuing day. But the faith which had been kindled at the beginning into such a fervent glow, still burned brightly in Francke's heart. At the most unexpected moments,from known and unknown sources, help came in one form or another. At length the main building for the orphan asylum was completed, and its founder placed over the entrance :— 1881. 19 THK tRIa.NI), MARCH, structed, by 108 teachers, under the super- did"not yield to fear of Pope and Emperor. intendence of Francke.

He died in 1727, at the age of 64, and is buried in the old cemetery of Halle. His son followed him as superintendent. Since then this noble work has been carried on most efficiently, and to-day remains as a splendid monument to the faithful worker, who has now entered upon his heavenly re.yard. Thousands of orphans have in the Asylum found a home, Christian love, and careful training, and have gone forth to be a blessing to the land. Thousands of other children have received here their education, and have grown up to be useful men and women in all ranks of society. From this centre, millions of bibles have issued for Germany. Here missionaries and teachers of the world, in far distant lands, have received their training. Here the poor and hungry have found food ; the widow a home and protection. No one should visit Halle and not pay a visit to these various schools and institutions, and they are worth coming from far to see. The buildings form an immense complex, a village in themselves, surrounded by extensive gardens and grounds for recreation and exercise. You scarcely can repress an exclamation of astonishment at seeing what has been here accomplished in an exterior and material way, and this is only the envelope of that spiritual life which is still so active here.

IBSI. DOES HOT OUR POSTAL SYSTEM NEED REFORM? If 814 letters " Short-paid." were forwarded from tbe New York Postoffice to the Hawaiian Islands, during 1880, does not this fact indicate the need of reform ? Probably as many more Were forwarded by Mr. Dougherty, of the San Francisco Postoffice. When is this state of things to be remedied ? If Mr. Hopper, at New York, and Mr. Dougherty, at San Francisco, were to cease their philanthropic labors,we should be in sad case of bewilderment. Some of our people so far appreciate the efforts of these gentlemen,that they have sent forward handsome testimonials ; but slas, it appears from the report of Mr. Hopper, in New York; only 65 replies were received for 814 letters forwarded ! This is rather a poor • showing ! From our local papers, we learn that Government officials and Foreign Representatives are sadly mourning over the loss of their letters. We would suggest that search be made in the " Dead Letter Box," in Washington. Now, we nut in tain, that the adoption of the "International Postal Union" would effectually remedy this deplorable state of irregularity in our present postal system, it required twenty years of earnest effort on the part of a few citizens, to bring about and secure the Reciprocity Treaty, but we hope our present postal system will not be suffered to exist for that period, before we shall enjoy the benefits of the Postal Union treaty. George F. Hopper, Esq., connected with the New York Postoffice, having a brother residing in Honolulu, naturally feeling an interest in our Island community, has, for years, volunteered to forward " Short-paid letters, passing through that office. It is a noble and generous act on his part. So far, so good. But is this the method to be pursued in an affair of this nature? We do not notice any effort on the part of the Hawaiian Government, or the Postmaster Genoral, to remedy this sad state of affairs, This is a subject demanding immediate action, and thorough reform. We are somewhat surprised at the apathy on this subject of our three weekly papers, devoted to the business, commerce, and welfare of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In all civilised countries, except the Sandwich Islands, it is accounted among the first elements of civilization, to enjoy a good postal system. While nearly every ether country on our globe is now " within the " Postal Union," our little " pinhead " Kingdom thinks best to stand outside. 18 81/ Mr. Hopper has kindly furnished the fol owing that he was born in Scotland, and of course valuable statistics, relating to the entitled to speak with author.ty upon matletters, at the New York ters of intellectual philosophy.

America Receives the Lion's Share, Under the Reciprocity Treaty.—This is a view which we have often asserted, but now figures prove it, to any one who will carefully peruse tbe Custom House Report, as recently published. We should suppose that the moat captious critic of the treaty would be satisfied with its working in favor of the United States. If its renewal and continuance at Washington, depend upon securing the Island trade, arid the development of the resourcea of the •' Pacific Slope," there can be no doubt about it. A Scotchman's and a Chinaman's Brain, Compared.—lt is an interesting subject of study, to note the influence of the mind upon man's physical nature ; but especially his brain. It has long been a settled point that men of great intellectual powers have been poseesssed of large brains. So well has this matter been settled as to originate the saying that to speak of a man as possessed of a large brain, was equivalent to eomplimeut him with uncommon intellectual force or power. Our attention has been called to this 'subject by reading an interesting article in the Victorian Review, published in Melbourne, in January. The article is by James Jamieson, which indicates where. Not less remarkable, though explicable in the same way, is the fact that the average weight of brain in sixteen Chinese coolies, taken by chance, was found to be greater than the European average, and even that of the Scotchman. There may be some other explanation; but the modifying influence of an ancient civilization, and though of rather a low order, must naturally suggest itself." Obituary.—The last mail brought the sad and most unexpected intelligence of the death of Mrs. Julia A. Spencer, late of Maknwao, Maui, wife of Ambrose Spencer, She died in New York Esq. city February 2nd, after an illness of only a few hours. She was spending the winter in that city, in company with her daughter. The Islands have been her home, with occasional intermissions,for thirty years, arriving here in 1851,passenger on board the " R. B. Forbes." Her christian virtues, loveliness of person nnd character, endeared her, not only to family friends, but to a wide circle of acquaintance here and in America. She was born in Carthage, New York, April 1, 1823, and married in 1842. For many years she had been a member of the Baptist Church. While tendering our warmest sympathies to fam'ly friends, we can speak of Mrs. Spencer as one of those rare, beautiful, noble and Christian ladies,whose presence make happy homes, and adorn society. Our limited community can ill afford to spare one whose character rendered her so deservedly esteemed and beloved. Mr. Moody's Meetings in San Francisco.—We rejoice to learn that the interest in these meetings is increasing, rather than abating. The general influence is most salutary, even aside from the religious bearings of the subject. We copy the following from the Pacific, of February 2nd:— In the hearing of our informant an officer of the police court said : " As long as Moody and Sankey remain, we might as well adjourn this court." Others have noted " �the check that has been given to crime, in all its grades, the last few weeks. Tbe fact is not without value in itself, but it is chiefly significant as showing how permeating, farreaching, and constraining, is the work of Gods spirit, through these men and their co-adjutors. It has gathered force, strength, breadth, depth, through the weeks. We have met with no one who thought it had culminated." Rey.W. H. Woodwell.—This clergyman and his wife arrived by the last steamer, from San Francisco. He is a graduate of Andover Seminary, and has been preaching a few years in New England. He is expecting to labor among foreigners on the -t-assss) Plantation. P. C. Jones, Esq , has been very active in securing his services. We congratulate our friends Mr. nnd Mrs. Whitney, Mr. Goodale, and others on the arrival of Mr. Woodwell, who comes highly recommended. We are glad to hear of the prosperity of the Young Men's Debating Society. In a community where the temptations are so strong to work only for greed of money, and to seek enjoyment only in sensual pleasures, it is an encouraging item that there are some ready to take up the work of cultivating their higher faculties, and to find their enjoyment in such exercises as elevate the whole nature to higher attainments and so to higher joys.

Biao, author of •• A Lntiy Lile 10 tha Rocky Mountains." "Sis Months in the Sandwich Islands,'' etc., etc. in two volumes, with map nnd illustrations. Mew York. 0. P Putnam's Sons, 1881. This is a rare and choice book of travel. There is great wisdom in the choice of the title " Unbeaten Tracks." The writer has not followed in the track of other tourists and travelers. Former experience as traveler and writer, had taught her just what was necessary for successful exploration and description. Having read with interest Miss Bird's volumes on th •• Sandwich Islands " and the " Rocky Mountains," it has been with no little desire, that we have looked forward to the appearance of these volumes. There is still another reason why we have been somewhat anxiously awaiting the publication of these volumes, for s-oine months ago, it was our privilege to be a guest with the author in one of the cultured homes of Scotland, in they cinity of Edinburgh, when she kindly allowed us to read some proof-sheet pages ofthe English edition of these volumes. We then partook of the first fruits of the rich harvest, which wns in store for the multitude ofreaders now perusing these goodly volumes on both sides of the Atlantic, which Murray in London, and Putnam's Sons in New York, have issued in such becoming and commendatory style, it is pleasant for the eye to rest on the fair and handsomely printed p.iges of Putnam's edition now lying on our table. Miss Bird's former books of travel, to which we have alluded, gave her position and reputation as a bold and daring traveler, possessed of rare descriptive ability. We feel quite confident that these volumes will more than sustain that reputation. Of some writers it has been said, that in their first publication, they strike " 12," but ever after are striking the smull hours. This surely cannot be asserted of Miss Bird. Kr.owing from her Hawaiian and Kocky Mountain experiences, some of the difficulties awaiting her in the unexplored regions of Japan, it must have required considerable nerve, in her feeble health to have projected her Japanese tour. Already had she circumnavigated the globe, by way of Australia, and now she must again leave the luxury and refinement of English society and home, to re-cross the broad Atlantic and • - - broader Pacific, and forsaking the " beaten track'0 travel alone for weeks and months among the people of Japan. In these volumes she tells her story of adventures, inconvenience, hardship and pleasure. On Hawaii and the Rocky Mountains, she had acquired reputation as a bold and fearless rider, performing feats of horsemanship which some regard as incredible, but in Japan, ere iter journey is half completed, she writes thus : " I have now ridden or sat upon 76 horses, all horrible." vol. 1., page 322. Sometimes this delicate-lady would walk for many miles over the roughest and muddiest roads, cross rapid streams in leaking ferry-boats, ascend dangerous rivers, force 1881. her way over rugged mountain-passes with only a native guide, explore volcanic regions ns difficult ot access as any on Hawaii, and live among the " hairy Amos," as she did in the grass houses of Hawaiians. The chapters in these volumes on the char.cter, history and condition of the " Amos of Veso, open up a new phase of the human race. The " Amos tire the original inhabitants of Japan, but as unlike the Japanese, as the North American Indians are unlike the Anglo Saxons. Our narrow limits prevent us from copying many pages beautifully descriptive of Japanese manners and customs, mountain scenery and scientific exploration. Miss Bird is s Botanist of in irked ability. It is however to her descriptions of the state, condition nnd prospects of the Jap-nese people, that we have been particularly drawn. While she is not an enthusiast upon the success of Missions among the Islands, yet she writes with great candor and fairness fully appreciating what has already been accomplished among a people whose old religion »nd superstitions are waning, and where the christian element is becoming prominent. She often alludes to the fact that foreign influences of an injurious nature are gaining ground among that people. She was fortunate in securing the services of an intelligent Japanese very anxious tn acquire the English language, in which he had made already good progress, but some of his efforts were quite ludicirous. Miss B,rd thus writes on page 320, vol. I. A few days ago, I remarked, ' What a "beautiful day this is !' and soon after, notebook in hand, he said, you say ' a beautiful day.' Is that better English than ' a devilish fine day as most foreigners say ?" Again, •' when you ask a question, you never say ' what the d—l is it f as other foreigners do. Is it proper for men to say it and not for women ? If he wishes to tell me that he has seen a very tipsy man, he always says he has seen 'a fellow as drunk as an Englishman.' " Our limits remind us that we must stop, but on almost every page we find something we would gladly transfer to our pages. Our readers must resort to Thrum's book-store and buy these interesting volumes if they would enjoy what we have done and hope to do again. We really feel that the reading public are under an immense debt of gratitude to Miss Bird, for while other writers have followed the " beaten path and visited Consular and open ports, she has thrown herself among the 34,000,000 of Japan, and told us just what she saw and what we are glad to learn. " " ' '' " dington, of the United States whaler George Henry. She was purchased, fitted out. and sent to England as a gift to her Majesty Queen Victoria, by the President and people of the United States, as a token of good will and friendship. This table was made from her timbers when she was broken up, and is presented by the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland to the President of the United States as a memorial of the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the Resolute." Temperance in England.—The people of Leeds, England, are to be congratulated upon having for their chief magistrate a total abstainer, Mayor Tatham a member of the Society of Friends, who neither uses wine himself or provides it for his or the city's guests. At a recent opening of a workingmen's tempcrence hall at Shipley, Mayor Tatham said: "Temperence was the root of all social advancement, while its opposite led to sickness, distress and ruin. If it was only possible to obtain a nation of total abstainers there \v6uld be no pauperism, no crime and no lunacy, but comfort and abundance " He had " invited the council to dine with him without the usual accompaniment of intoxicating liquors," and again he had repeated the experiment, and with very satisfactory results, when it fell to his duty to give an assize dinner, at which were judges, leading members of the bar, etc., and he added : •' Even if Her Majesty visited Leeds she might well be entertainei on the same principal; at least she woult be if she visited the hall during the time that it was his official home. He had no wine in his house for forty years, and he made no exception in the mayor's parlor at the town hall." Yorl£ LIFE INSURANCE CO. Thirty-fourth Annual Report!

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 49 POTSDAM AND ITS PALACES. A few months since, I think I could have written you some pages in reference to Potsdam and its historic treasures with a confidence, which now at this later day, I feel is, in a large degree, wanting. Not that this country-home of the Prussian monarchs seems less interesting, less suggestive to me alter repeated visits than it did when I visited it for the first time, but rather that it has taken on such fine and full proportions; has, to me, with my somewhat larger and more accurate knowledge of its Past, become almost another world, that 1 shrink with more modesty from entering upon such a comprehensive and far-reaching subject in the necessarily cramped limits of a letter. It strikes me that great richness of material may be a hindrance rather than an aid to the traveler in the writing of letters. The more the vista of the past opens before him, the clearer his vision becomes in detecting the footprints of other generations, along the paths Rnd thoroughfares, where he still walks with the living, the greater becomes the difficulty of picturing scenes which once attracted him by some exterior beauty or charm. And yet with this widening of the horizon, with this addition of new and picturesque figures to the historic landscape, there comes a desire to share with others something of the pleasure which their discovery has brought him, notwithstanding, he feels how great is his inability to put them fully and fittingly before others. I can truly *ay that few places which J have been privileged to visit since being in the •' Old World " have interested me more than Potsdam, and for the student and traveller to p»ss it by, would be to leare some of the most interesting pages of European history unread. For history is not alone from books and the printed page, but from the scenes where the great actors in the tragedy and comedy of human-life played tneir respective parts. The town lies something like fifteen or twenty miles from Berlin, easily reached in a short time by rail, not too far away to be the object of an afternoon's drire and an attraction for a pedestrian who would enjoy the miles of forest, stretching away tween Potsdam and the suburbs of the capi- The Week of Prayer Was observed in Honolulu, by a union of the Fort-street and Bethel Churches.

Carlyle calls the region where the Kings of Prussia built themselves huge and royal dwellings, " Amphibious!" And I do not know that the adjective is wholly inapplicable. Just about this point toe river Havel widens and broadens into little lakes and bays, sends out watery arms embracing the low-lying hills, wages war with the sandy flats, till they compromise by forming a reedy marsh, so that to tell where the land ends and the water begins, would be at times far from easy. It required all the energy and ambition of the Great Elector to take such a place in hand, and the taste and industry of his successors to carry on the work thus begun, to make from these "wildlands," a little earthly Paradise. There is Potsdam, the garrison town, plain, excessively prim and proper, with great casernes; companies of soldiers, poorly paved streets, quiet houses, with a " Rip Van Wynkle " like stillness and hush enveloping them, which in long winter evenings becomes painfully oppressive. And then there is royal, beautiful Potsdam, a home for Kings, a joy and inspiration for all. It is a city of Palaces, separated by splendid parks and gardens, abounding in architectural and artistic surprises, a place where nature and art have joined their forces, expressing their desire for harmony and peace in vinewreathed statues, and columns, in the welcome which the murmuring, bird.filled primeval forest has given to the massive edifices of stone and marble which successive monarch* here have reared. You leave the great city of Berlin with its noise, its neverending bustle, it." hrijliant life and ceaseless activity, and in a few moments can be in this new world, deep buried in the heart of quiet wood-lands, now thrilled with the delicious surprise, which comes with the unexpected out-look through openings in drooping, leafy branches, on some fair and softly tinted landscape ; now walking in the midst of thronging memories through the still corridors and stately halls and marble galleries, of palaces, whose founders have long since departed ; or at evening watch from the almost glassy surface of some lake or widening rivercourse, which lies about you, the glory of the parting day. Long reaches of pines and oaks stand in out-line against the warm back-ground of the evening sky; on the far horizon rise mirage-like the 4,pmes, the spires, the towers of the distant town; from some wooded height or nearer point upon the curving border of the lake, stands revealed some palace or turreted castle, white sails rise from a passing boat, lazily drifting through the shadows of the purple twilight; voices break upon the evening's hush, and then as quickly die away; tbe night air comes fresh and sweet from the low-lands; stars gleam here and there in the fading skies, then these re-appear, asserting their " right " as sleepless watchers of the sleapieg earth. A " day in Potsdam " is one of the regulaof the tourist in this part of Gertion duties many, and very faithfully many ofthem perform their duty. But necessary as this is when one's time is ljmited.it ishardly tbe way to enjoy this interesting bit of country. But here at last our conductor shout*, Potsdam, the rea|, actual Potsdam. Letting the crowd life than to wander through tombs and palaces, we saunter down the old stone bridge which brings us to the town. A palace meets us at our very entrance, a great bulky affair, still fast asleep, though the summer sun is mounting into the heavens, and the sun of our century is quite beyond its zenith. Some day it may wake again, but at present it gives no signs of returning life, and a few lackeys and guides and watchful soldiers keep guard over it. You are led through long rooms, full of fading curtains and tapestries, the walls adorned with old pictures. Out through the windows you catch glimpses of the great parade ground, and beyond that some great stone-sculpture, some triumphant Neptune out-riding the waves. Here, in this town palace, it was that one of the Prussian Kings, the father of Frederick the Great, used to hold what wns called his "Tobacco Parliament" an odd sort of an affair, which I imagine would be considered rather unkingly in our day. This was the same king, you know, who had such a passion for having an army of giants. He ransacked Europe for them. They show you still in this old palace on the Havel, the apparatus, with which he used to measure them. He paid out millions of dollars for this purpose. For an Irish giant something like nine thousand dollars was 1881. 1870-71, important epochs in German hisVery peaceful do they look here, drooped and lestnoned in clusters, in this house of peace and worship. What a contrast this Sabbath-like stillness and the roar and rattle of fierce battle-fields, where they have floated over the dead and dying ! The castellian opens a little grated door in the rear of the elaborate marble pulpit, and through the flickering light, we see what is to me, a strangely impressive spot. Nothing could be more severely simple and plain. It is a stone cell or recess, lighted when n visitor comes. There is not in the remotest way anything to suggest ornament. On one side of the crypulie the remains of the father ef Frederick the Great, on the other those of the great King and General himself. The gloom, the stillness, the utter plainness of the place renders it singularly impressive As you stand by the side of the plain black coffin where Napoleon stood in 1806, you feel something of that respect tory. and reverence which this great conqueror is said to have felt in the presence of this eloquent reminder of the great departed. No stranger character does history offer than that of the great Frederick, so great in his greatness, yet uniting such human, weaknesses thereto.

Just beyond " Sans Souci " lies the famous Wind Mill." of which perhaps you have often read in history, which Frederick, king though he was, was unable to buy of the sturdy-willed old miller. It is partially covered with ivy. and is a most picturesque object. Further on is the beautiful Orangery, with its plants and paintings. We are in a world of gardens, of fountains, of statues. They increase as we go forward. With a few words only can I speak of the great New Palace," built by Frederick the Great, "where we could spend hours wandering with delight. Down by the shore of one of the lakes, is the " Marble Palace." Far up the river lies the Pfneninsel," with its interesting little castle, where the good and beautiful Queen Louisa loved to come in summer. How sweetly the nightingales still sing here ! Then there is !—but enough for this time. So much remains to be seen; out another day we must come again. Frank Williams Damon. " '' Artesian Wells. Scientific men must now admit that an Artesian Well may be bored and send up water on the Sandwich Islands. Three are now in successful operation in the vicinity of Honolulu.

EDITOR'S TABLE. — '' " -- -- -- �TII X FRIKXD, FEBRUARY, are no We are glad to learn that There legal objections to the immediate adoption of the '' Postal Union," the necessary Acts having been passed by the Hawaiian Legislature. News has been received from the Micronesian Missronaries, and we rejoice to learn that the stations are generally prosperous. Additional and full letters and reports may be expected by the " Morning Star," to arrive on or about March Ist. From want of space we are compelled to omit a review of Miss Bird's book on Japan, which we had prepared for this issue. We would merely add that the book is most interesting, and may be obtained at Thrum% book-store, in Fort Street. In what manner can those residing on the islands communicate with and gratify their friends abroad better than by subscribing for and sending to them the Friend? Specially if those absent friends onceresided on the islands. The grand event of the past month, was the departure of His Majesty and suite, on a grand tour around the world, via, San Francisco, Japan, China, India, Egypt, Europe and America. All friends of Hawaii, cannot but hope and pray- for their prosperity, success, and safe return, laden with the rich experience, which, such travels are calculated to impart. Chinese Church Funds.—At a recent meeting of the Trustees, it appears from a report of the Treasurer, that after all pledged subscriptions are collected, and the reasonable avails of the expected Fair realized, about 81,000 will remain unpaid. We think this is a good showing; and now we hope those who have not availed themselves of " the luxury of doing good," in the way of assisting in this enterprise, will immediately forward their subscriptions to Mr. Goo Kirn, W. W. Hall, or John Waterhouse, Junior. We would acknowledge receiving a logue of Amherst College, for 1880, and also a catalogue of the University of New York, together with two numbers of the University Quarterly. In one of these we find a brief sketch of Chancellor Crosby's life, and this remark, " Dc Quince/, in jiis autobiography, boasts of beginning Greek when nine years old, but Dr. Crosby read it three years before that age." After graduating with honors, he went into the country and " buried his genius, for five years, beneath the furrows which he plowed." He is regarded as one of the best Greek scholars in America. .

From the boys must our ranks be recruited from time to time, and it is of utmost importance that n good and wholesome influence be exercised over them, the following note taken from the N. Y.

Many of young men of to-day were taken into oils of the temper yesterday, when they boys. How often we vainly endeavor ach them. Let us be in this matter as as the serpent.

This document, as published appears to be a far different affair from what was expected. So far from expelling the Chinese from United States, protects them in their rights, if they choose to remain, and whether others will be allowed to come or how many may come, will depend upon future legis- lation. Touching, however, the opium clause, there can be no question. The United States and the Chinese Government have adopted the policy of the Hawaiian Government as appears from the following article of the Commercial Treaty, and we sincerely hope GreatBritain and the " Great Powers " will follow in the wake of the Hawaiian, United States and Chinese Governments : Article ll.—The Governments of China and of the United States mutually agree and updertake that Chinese subjects shall not be permitted to import opium into any of the ports of the United States, and citizens of the United States shall not be permitted to import opium into any of the open ports of China, or to transport from one open port to any other open port, or to buy and sell opium in any of the open ports of China. This absolute prohibition, which extends to vessels owned by the citizens or subjects of either Power, to foreign vessels employed by them, or to vessels owned by (he citizens or subjects of either Power, and employed by other persons for transportation of opium, shall be enforced by appropriate legislation on the part of China and the United States, and the benefits of the favored claims in existing treaties shall not be claimed by the citizens or subjects of either Power cs against the provision of this article. Hsb. J. M. Smith, thus writes from San Francisco. •' Mr. Seward, the late Chinese Minister, has gone to Washington. In his book, relating to the Chinese, he endeavors to show that the Chinaman is a useful person, who has largely assisted in developing California industry, and who cannot be driven away except withloss. A year ago, the book would have been " hooted at," in this city ; now, it may find some candid readers. There has been a suspension of the war against the Chinese. A faint prospect, through the new Treaty, that power might be gained to drive them away, brings the public face to face with tbe question, Shall we do it ? And with this question, come new and divers reasons as to the advisbility of it. As a fact, as proved by statistics, the Chinese have been diminishing during the last four years. It looks to me as if this Chinese question would soon subside benenth the surface, and theroto.th.it has been made over it will clearly appear to be a political row, fed and fanned by ambitions leaders ; that and nothing more." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

College,—In our last issue we noticed the donation of seats to the institution. We rejoice to learn that improvements, costing about one thousand dollars, have been made, enlarging the verandah, above and below, of the main school building, towards the mountains. This improvement will greatly enlarge the main audience room above, and the recitation room below. Improvements of this nature are the more to be appreciated, when made without drawing upon the funds of the college, and by those who have graduated at the institution. We hope to have the pleasure of reporting additional contributions of this nature. Let those who have once been taught there, aim to make the institution more desirable and inviting for their children. This is doing good in Ihe right way. We are glad to report a larger number of pupils than was ■ever previously in attendance. Tbe late examination was highly creditable. The class in Geology appeared remarkably well. Oahu Christmas Gatherings.—We have heard of trees and other demonstrations in various parts of the town. Being present at the Bethel Sabbath School gathering, we can refer to it as a remarkable success. More than one hundred little hearts were made glad, if their bright faces and sparkling eyes were indications of their heart-emotions. If any person, like the Pharisees of old, should murmur at such a demonstration, we would reply to them in the Saviour's own words " I tell you that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out."— Luke, 19 : 40.

It was a relief, after the unending flatness of the country, to find ourselves on ascending ground. On the horizon, in the evening light, the Hartz Mountains began to outline themselves, and send welcomes to us through the mists which enveloped them. At a little country station we took supper with some American students, going for a holiday trip in the mountains But their journey was to be more extensive than ours, so, after a pleasant talk of Amherst, Cornell, Hamilton and California Universities, we were forced to say good-bye, adding, thereto, however, a hearty auf weidirsclu.u. Our train hastened on, and soon we were quietly sleeping in the little mountain town of Hartzburgh, and with the early morning light we were ready for our first day's walk I am constantly surprised to see what feats of walking are accomplished here, and it is amusing and stimulating to see the rivalry there is in reference to making a good day's walk in this region. For several days we were on foot, up and down mountains, through vallies, and over rivers, and all along the way, we were met by companies, similarly equipped as ourselves, an umbrella or cane, or mountain-stock in hand, a bag or sitchel swung over one shoulder, a plaid or overcoat for protection against the rain, and nothing more. Fine mountain roads led in all directions, and, branching from these, were by-pa.hs, well indicated as a general thing, by guide-boards, or some other sign, and when these were lacking, there was almost always some friendly peasant ever at hand to guide us. I find that my "Journal and Sketch Book " is in rather a confused state, and, in endeavoring to give you a little idea of my Ilartz-Reise, or journey, perhaps it will be best to send a little outline sketch, as my memory serves me. HARTZBURGH Gives one a little idea of many other similar towns and villages which abound in the country regions of Germany, and where the wealthy and well-to-do people of the cities come for summer rest and recreation. It abounds in hotels, beautifully situated, and well kept, is laid out with shade trees, ornamented with private villas and gardens, and rejoices in springs of healing waters, and is accordingly a•■ bath." Just over the town which lies in the valley rises a hill, the Borgberg, with a commanding view, up whose side we first tested our " walking legs." Beautiful as the country is here in all directions, and inviting as it is of itself, it becomes immensely more so by reason of all the associations which meet one at every point. For instance, sitting here on the Borgberg, in the golden radiance and warmth of a summer morning, with choirs of birds in the trees and a panorama of mountain and plain before us, we find many other things to claim our attention. We sit on the smooth granite steps of the pedestal of a simple but impressive monument erected to the honor of the German Chancellor, Bismarck, on which are graven the significant words: " Nach Caiiossa gelun. \cei nicht /" We do not go to Canossa, words, to which this valiant leader has never proved false. Here still linger a tew fragments of a castle of the German Emperor, Henry IV., �and here died later another Emperor, Otto IV. Amid the eroves at the base of the hill are reminders of the early days of German heathen worship. Just above this little cluster of trees where we £top for refreshment, some one has placed a stone with an inscription to say that one day the German poet V/tland visited this spot. Undoubtedly a simple, very simple incident, but the stone is interesting; as a reminder of some one's thoughtful appreciation of the poet, and as it calls to mind, in the midst of these poetic. scenes, the wild, sweet poetry of this German writer. 1 was fortunate in my companions, both of whom were young with all the fun of boyhood in them still, yet tempered by the promise of the noble young manhood upon which they are both just entering. You could scarcely find greater contrast, one was the very incarnation of method and order, and curie around with a thermometerfor the heat, md a "pedometer" to measure the distance we had gone per day, and who could tell us as we halted for the night how many kilometres we had walked since morning The other would make the longest days seem short, so blessed was he with a memory for amusing stories, and fairly rippled over wiih jokes in French and German English. So as I have snid, I was most fortunate in my companions, and owe to them, as well as to the sunlight and mountains and skies, the pleasant memories I have brought back with me. IN THE FOREST. As the day wore on we caught glimpses of the " Brocken," the highest point in the Hartz, looming before us. the goal which we hoped to reach before sun-down, but from which we were separated by a vast ocean of wood-land. Alter one has lived in the closely inhabited towns and cities of Europe, nothing is more striking in coining out info the country than to see what extensive tracts of land lie uninhabited. The disproportion seems too great! Your heart goes yearning after all the men nnd women and children, with faces too white and old, crowded in various uncleanly city streets, and amid their unhealthy fumes, and you wish you might scatter amid this glorious green, outer world, all those who hunger for such sweetness and freedom and plenty as are here given in limitless measure How difficult it is to describe a forest! You feel almost like one at sea, with an ocean before and an ocean behind. You mount some sentinel rock and look out over the closely grouped tops of the pines and wonder how your way will lie, and then driving down into the cool green depths below, where the sun-light shines softly at noon time, or lies along your course, interlaced with the shadows, lose all sense of things without and forget that you belong elsewhere than in this solemn, mysterious under-world, till again you scale some height into the day-light, and look back in vain for the way you have gone and over which the waves have so swiftly closed. Ido not remember, in all my journeyings in cur tropical forests, with their glorious tangles of vines and ferns, their wild and wayward luxuriance of riotous growth and beauty, to have been so impressed as 1 have been of late by these forests in the Hartz, with their simple, severe monotony of form and uniformity of coloring, and yet which possess 1881. such an indescribably solemn dignity, such calm confidence in the infinite force of their united serried strength, rising fearlessly towards the blue dome above ti.em. And then whnt stores of perfume and fragrance dwell in these sentinel-like pines and firs! Never in nature could be found such suggestionsof cathedral service as in these shadowy aisles, with the aroma of incense from unseen censers, and the music ol distant chanting of choirs, ns the winds speak in their boughs We traveled little on the main road, but always by by-paths, which led us away from men into the heart of the wood-lands, so that 1 do not remember passing a village during the first day's rambles. As the afternoon wore on, the trees about us seemed to diminish in size, and the soft, yielding velvety carpet under our" feet, gave way to strong, barren soil, and the climbing was far from easy, and we often paused for a view at the country whose horizon seemed to broaden and widen as we rose higher. Groups ol travelers on their way down from the mountain and others came fast up behind us. Still higher stunted trees give place to shrubs, and these to hardy grasses and wild mountain flowers, and in a few moments more we stand on the SUMMIT OF THE BROCKEN. Certainly there is no one point in Germany, perhaps none in Europe, about which so much uncanny legendary lore clusters as about the mountain on whose summit we have just arrived. The place seems singularly in keeping with its legends, wild, barren, wind-swept, standing above, amidst drifting mists and clouds, far away from the sweet happy life of the villages nestling at its feet, a fitting place for the wild orgies which the witches and spirits of darkness were fubled to celebrate here on Walpurgis niidu. Long ago, into this region, came the wild and heathen Saxons, and celebrated mid the lonely fastnesses of the Hnnz and Brocuen their pagan rites. Charlemagne, who believed in enforcing Christianity by the sword, and who was bent on the conversion of the Saxons and the abolition of their paganism, endeavored to compel them to desist from the practice of their religion. He stationed guards to prevent them, but in vain. The unruly savages " arrayed themselves like goblins, with the skins and horns of beasts, with fire forks in their hands, and these rude instruments which they used as protection against wild beasts, and during their sacrificial rites as they danced around the altar. Thus armed, they put the wholi of the terrified guards to flight, and proceed ed to invite the people to-their festival. Hence its celebration on the first of May, on the wildest region of the Hartz, with the snow yet lying on the Brocken, naturally gave rise among the Christians to the belief ol witches riding that night upon their broomsticks to add to the infernal mirth and mystery of these heathen rites." The most wild and dreadful tales in reference lo these satanic revels were told and believed generation alter generation, till this lonely peak of the Brocken or Brocksberg was regarded as peculiarly 'possessed by evil spirits. I have lately read, though I scarcely believe it, that Walpurgis week neither man or " during boy can be found bold enough to act as guide over the mountains." Goelhe has laid one 3 THE FRIKND, JANUARY, of the scenes of his strange poem of Fatut here, which renders ihe spot especially interesting to all admirers of his mystical, shadowy tragedy. Certain heaps of rocks are styled the Witches' Dancing Place, Wash-basil,, Devils' Chancel, etc. But all the uncanny character of the summit immediately is dissipated by the spirit of genial hospitality which seems to shine from every point of the hospitable old hotel which was waiting like some kindly friend to welcome us. After the long day's tramping and climbing, and the roir and sweep of the wind, how deliplitful was the warmth and cheer and comfort which reigned within ! I shall always remember the strong, awkward looking old hotel, wiih its cheery red brick floor, shining and bright, its warm, cozy dining hall, its delightful beds, and wholesome air of sweetness and good cheer. I hope that all travelers coming to this ghost and witch-ridden mo intain will find it ns full of good cheer as did we. Having strengthened ourselves within, we were ready to come forth to meet all the phantoms of the place. But the wind must, have blown them all away. And such a wind, fresh blown from the home of all the winds ! How it reveled in this upper world, clear, cold, crystalline, making the blood dance with irresistible joy The late sunlight lingered as if loath to go. From the tall tower rising in front of the hotel we could sweep at one glance over a wonderful tract of country. Few views in Europe are more interesting historically. It is looking into the very heart of Germany, upturned io the sky. On every side of us were to be seen the red roofs of towns and villages, some clear and manifest, others faint and distant and others lying far, far away on the misty horizon. One could easily fancy himself sailing through space in a balloon with the country spread out like a map beneath him. On a clear day it is said that one can see from this point eightyiiim cities and six hundred and tixtyeight villages, partly or entirely—something of a range, is it not ? At certain seasons of the year, when the atmosphere is in a peculiar condition, there is seen a phenomena called " The Spectre of the Brocken," being the shadow enlarged io a gigantic size of any one standing in a certain position on the mountain and cast on distant clouds or mist. Unfortunately the time of our visit did not permit us to see this spectral presence The sun set quietly behind the clouds, leaving us in the midst of the long, grey, summer twilight Later on, came pale moonlight through the clouds, and the wind died slowly away, nnd night settled over the great world at our feet, and we left the witches to their dance without, while we found our warm beds within more agreeable. Have we really been at-asleep-at-all ? Yes, here it is three o'clock ! A bell is sounding through th» long corridors, nnd every room is emptied, and before the hotel in the early morning air, in all manner of hastily donned costumes, like fire-worshipers stand a hundred or so of us, with eyes and face eagerly turned toward the east, waiting for the sunrise. It was a most picturesque scene ! People of all ranks of life, in all styles of dress, all for the moment intent upon one of the most inspiring sights in nature. Musi- ' �4 Tlt t r KIRNS, lIMUI students and workmen end tourists. The east was suffused with crimson. lay over the lowlands. The mists The light grew stronger and stronger, ihe barrier of cloud before the sun glowing from within with the imprisoned flame, ujjtil at last bursting its misty bands, the round full orb rose into sight, and the morning's pagear was over. White wreaths of clouds floated up between us and the earth, but the wind spirited them away, so that when we came to say goodbye to the brave old inn, (which stands winter and summer, amid driving wind and snow and rain, and must, if ever they come, have watched the goblins at their work, and yet, which through all, wears a cheery smile on its battered face) the world was bathed in sunshine, unobscured by clouds. The Brocken summit is chary of its growths, but the kindly touch of nature has reached even here, and given something of a softness and charm, just as in the most forbidding face thera may be something to love if ever we are only ourselves wise and kind enough to find it. I brought away with me a handful of a delicate white blossom, bell shaped, with an exquisite shading of blue on the base of the petals. In among the rocks the wild heather grows in profusion. Our coining down from the mountain was ac- complished in singularly shorter m «ce of time than the ascent ol the same, snd soon we were once more in the embrace of the fon-t, nnd near the murmur ot its trout streams and every mile of brisk walking in the delicious morning air lirouglit us nearer one of the red-roofed villages, tpon which we had looked down the night before. We pasted a group of charcoal burners silting lear their wigwam like house and smouldering leap, like spirits of the woods and mountains, low the sight of them brought the memory of airy stories read long, long ago. which emanated from just suoh surroundings. How easy it seemed amid these glowing woods to picture dwarfs and gnomes snd lairies, and all that long company of npirita, good and evil, which crowd the German tales and legends! A little further on we stopped for a little refreshment by a lovely ■pot on the river, which dashes in white foam between its verdant hanks into the gorge below. We saw we were beginning to leave the wild woods and were coming once mure to civilised lile. Here soldiers, fresh and bright in their shinning utulorms. well-to-do looking towns people, (jurumn ('millions arrayed in their best, and kindly mamas and solid looking business men, all enjoying the fresh, sweet air and tbe music uf the river. One more night is left us in the Harts, which we spend in the great hotel near tbe village of Tnule, one more morning in the valley under its Irees and by the banks of the Bode, with sketch book and Heine in hand, and we must start lor home, carrying with us the sweet, beautiful memories of days which I think 1 can never forget. But which shall be in coming lile a constant source of joy nnd refreshment. I leel us if I was leaving everything unsaid, all the legends whioh wait to be uttered, all the beauty which wans to be painted. But.-perhaps, another day we may come again to thin poo tic region, of which indeed we have seen a small purtiou. We piss through old and historic towns which lie along our route.

Maid, U I) —New York, Dodd. Mead 716 Broadway-1880. * About forty and five years ago, when we were studying as an undergraduate at Amherst College, there came to our college, a Mr. Arms, who had just returned from an exploring expedition to Patagonia. This gentleman represented that he was accompanied by a Mr. Coan. We can vividly recall many statements then made by Mr. Arms. A few months elapsed, and we remember to have read in the newspapers, that one of the explorers in the wild regions of Patagonia, had sailed as a missionary to the Sandwich Islands. It was the old Latin poet, Horace, we believe, who counselled young authors to allow their thoughts to lie in manuscript at least nine years, but our missionary author has allowed his journal to remain five times that period in manuscript before publication, but .we are glad to learn that he did not think best to commit his manuscript to his literary executors. The volume now lying on our table, reflects much credit upon the Rev. Mr. Coan, as an explorer and writer. Patagonia is a part of tbe world that one is glad to learn something about, although he might not be pleased to become a Summer tourist among its inhabitants, whom the old voyagers reputed as tall as the soldiers of the father of Frederick the Great. We are pleased to read, in the closing pages of the volume, a notice of Captain Gardner's missionary enterprise, in that forlorn region of Terra del Fuego, and where his sad death forms one of the most touchingrecords ofheroic adventure in the annals of the missionary enterprises of modern times. There is much in this volume worthy of perusal, and with the Rev. Dr. Field, of the New York Evangelist, we can commend the same to the reading of those who delight in bold adventure, plucky daring, cool judgment, honest purpose, and missionary zeal. Valuable Publications.—We would acknowledg, through the kind ness of Dr. Baker, of the English Mission a packnge of valuable publications from our old friend and college classmate, N. Allen, M.D, L.L.D., of Lowell, Mass. Some of these are from his own pen, and others relate to the State Charities of Massachusetts, being the Annual Reports. In no part of America is more attention paid to collating and gathering statistics relating to crime, insanity, sanitary measures, ice., than in the State of Massachusetts. Dr. Allen has devoted much time and attention to affairs of this nature. He is now quoted as authority. His efforts in leading the Trustees of Amherst College to introduce systematic exercise among the students have resulted in immense good. They have reduced the death-rate and elevated the health lone among the under-graduates. It was our privilege to be the Doctor's guest at the late meeting of the American Board, and to learn from his own lips much relating to the progress of medical science and sanitary efforts in America. Life is too short for one person to learn everything, but it is some satisfaction to know that specialists are laboring in all departments of science and learning. It is gratifying to read the results of their studies and researches. Pomare no More!—The last remnant of native rule at Tahiti gone forever. The newspapers report that all Tahitwns are now French citizens. The descendants of Potnare no longer rule at Tahiti, or any of the Society Islands. It is a singular and curious fact that Monarchical Europeans in Polynesia have invariably undermined the native rulers, as at Tahiti, Marquesas, New Zealand, Fiji, and it is to be feared will soon succeed at Samoa and Tonga. Whereas it is a fact equally manifest and incontrovertable, that on the Hawaiian Islands Kepublican or Democratic Americans have for more than half a century persistently and successfully upheld the kingly authority of the Kamehamehas and their successors. Mr. Wyllie's idea, which he labored for a quarter of a century to establish an Independent Hawaiian Kingdom, unhampered by Consular Courts or a Protectorate, would never have been realized had he not been most staunch ly sustained and supported by associates and Americans, loyal and ests of the Hawaiian the best inter King and people. true to Charles Burnham, Esq.—We are happy to welcome this gentleman, who resides, as a merchant, in Philadelphia. He originally visited the Islands in 1833, and superintended the building of the Bethel, having been sent hither for that purpose, by the late Major Williams, of New London. He subsequently erected the buildings of the Lahainaluna Seminary. After visiting the United States and returning to the Islands, he became manager of Koloa plantation. He left again for the United States, and, after an absence of just 35 years, he now returns with his daughter, to visit his old home. He was accompanied by Mrs. Burnham, when he left his home, and they were our fellow-travellers on the Overland Railroad, but in consequence of a severe cold taken at Ogden, she died at the Grand Hotel in San Francisco, Nov. 19th, esteemed, respected and beloved, by the wide circle of friends among whom she was known. Her remains were returned to Springfield, Mass. We bespeak for our friend a cordial welcome among his old acquaintance on the Islands. �THE FRIEND, JANUARY. 1881. Our Postal System Most Inconvenient.

Since the above was written we have received a letter Postmarked, Edinburgh, Scotland, and find the following upon the back of the same: " Sorry this has been returned. Have mistaken a four penny for a six penny stamp." The inconvenience of our Postage Stamp System to all wishing to communicate with our islands, in Europe, and other foreign lands, is very great. " When shall we have the International Post Office system?" P. S. No. 2.—The Steamer's mill brought us letters; on the back of two we find the following : " Unpaid postage seven cents affixed by G. F. Hopper. Superintendent New York Post Office—Short paid; deficit six cents paid by Wm. C. Dougherty. Assistant Post Master, San Francisco." A Son of John Mangero.—Many of our readers will remember the oft-repeated allusions in the columns of the Friend, during the past thirty years, to John Mangero, the translator of Bowditch's Navigator into Japanese, and the Japanese who was educated by Captain Whitfield, of Fairhaven Mass. During our absence a letter was received from his son, dated Tokio. Japan, March 26th, ISSO. We think many of our readers will be interested in reading this letter, as it is an indication of what the young Japanese are doing, in the way ol acquiring the English language, and aspiring to acquire a professional education.

[Coltriigt. : — A Ship's Crew that Turn Out Well. We were most agreenbly surprised a few days since to meet a shipmaster, whom we had not seen for twenty and eight years. The youth had become the man ; the sailor the shipmaster. We refer to Captain Berry, of the Mohigan. In our'interview we learned the following interesting items:—ln the Autumn of 1852 Captain Berry belonged to the crew of the •' Messenger Bird," Captain Ooane, which was loaded with oil, for the United States. Captain Dome and all his crew of 13, even to the Negro cook, were from Cape Cod, and we think, all from Yarmouth. Only three of the crew have died, and two of them were shipmasters; lost at sea, and never heard from. Th«_- remainder are now shipmasters, or have retired, after successful careers, with ample means. One of them is the proprietor of a large orange orchard in Florida. By referring to the " Friend," of October 19.h, 1852. we find the following names of persons attached to the '• Messenger Bird:" —Captain Doane, John Rinnell, Hiram F. Sparrows, Benjamin F. Berry, N. F. Baker, J. D. Lathrop, P. B. Chase, R. B. Nickerson and A. D.mne. On further examination we find that this crew contributed $9:75 for the benefit of the Bethel, Captain Doane heading the subscription with S5. Such reminisences are very pleasant, recalling those years when, with youthful vigor aud hopeful enthusiasm, we mingled with masters, officers and seamen of the immense fleet of whalemen and merchant seamen who were wont to congregnte in the port of Honolulu. In a note attached to our Thanksgiving sermon of 1552, as printed in the •' Friknd" of Decemb-r 11th, we find the following statement:—" As an apology for the strong American tone which pervades the sermon, we would call the attention of our readers to the following circumstances —On Thanksgiving day, the editor, E. O. Hall, Esq , of the Polynesian, asserts there were 145 whaleships in this harbor. In addition, there were 12 merchant vessels, and the U. S. Frigate St. Lawrence. With only an occasional exception, these vessels are all under the U. S. flag. The number : of seamen on board these vessels would not full below 6,000. The amount of property invested in this large amount of shipping would doubtless amount to 815,000,000." While calling on board the beautiful ship so neatly kept.and while sitting Mohigan," " cabin, the our attention was arrested by in Captain Berry's tnste for beautiful flowering plants, carefully guarded, and the more so, when he remarked " This Ivy my wife gathered at Chester Cathedral; this Geranium is from the tomb of Napoleon, at St. Helena; this Ivy is from Hyde Park, London; this vinca from Java; this orange plant from Singapore, and this Wax plant from Cape Cod, and has been in the ship during the last five years, or ever since she first was launched." We did not wonder that the master of the "Mohigan" should be attached to his ship, or that his soul warmed up when he relerrvd to one who had accompanied him in many of his voyages, but for once remained behind in old Yarmouth. It was pleasant, also, to hear our friend refer to his good mother, now S2, who still followed him, with her affection and prayers, as when he first went forth a sailor boy, from that Cape Cod, where the Mayflower first anchored, before the Pilgrims finally anchored in Plymouth Harbor, and landed on Plymouth Rock. We are glad to learn that noble men and women still inhabit regions associated with so many precious historic memories. In Memoriam—Rev. Cochran Forbes. By the " Australia " news was received of the decease of this brother, at his place of residence in Philadelphia, Pa. He died on the sth of November, after a brief but severe illness of four days, in the seventy-fifth year of his at;e. His arrival here to spend his remaining years in the family of his eldest son, Rev. A. O. Forbes, had been anticipated by the same steamer which brought the tidings of his death; and many old friends at the islands, both native and foreign, were waiting to welcome him back to the much-loved scene of his former labors. He himself had looked forward most eagerly to a return to these shores, and to the re-union with beloved friends His love for Hawaii nei and the Hawaiian people had never diminished, but seemed to grow stronger than ever with the increase of years. He was born in Goshen, Chester County, Pa., July 21st, 1805, and received his education at Reading, Pa in the Academy then under the care of Rev. J. F. Gner, D.D. In 1828 he entered the Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey, and graduated in 1831, together with tbe late lamented Rev. . Richard Armstrong. D.D., and the now venerable and beloved Rev-W. P. .Alexander, of Wailuku, who is the only survivor of that trio Mr Forbes was licensed by ihe Presbytery (if Philadelphia, and at his graduation, or.lamed in the First Presbyterian Church of Baltimore, Md.; shortly after which he, with his newly married bride, saiied with a large company of missionaries for these islands, under commission of die A. B. C. F. M. New Bedford on the ship whaler bound hither Nov. 26, IS3I, after a tedious and uncomfortable voyage of more than five months they landed here May 17th, 1632, and Mr. Forbes was stationed at Kaawaloa, Hawaii, where he remained until 1845; when, on account of the prostration of his wife from ill health, he removed to Lahnina. There he remained till the full of 1647, filling the post of Seamen's Chaplain, nt a time when from one hundred to two hundred whuleships visited that port annually. Mrs. Forbe's health not improving, by the advice of the physicians, they returned to the United States, leaving Honolulu in Nov. 1647, in the ship ''Abram H. Howland," dipt. W. T. Walker, and arriving at New Bedfoid April 2d, 1848, after a pleasant voyage of a little more thun four months. During that year he was, at his own request, released from the service of the A B. C. F. M„ and was settled as Pastor of the Presbytery Church at Rural Valley and Glade River, Armstrong County, Pa. Here he remained nearly eijjht years, when he accepted a call to Kendalville. Noble County, Indiana. The cl male of that region, however, proving very unfavorable to health, after several years, he removed east again, and became Pastor of the Churches of Mount Union and Shirley, in the bounds of the Presbytery of Huntingdon. Subsequently, on the establishment of the Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia, he accepted the post of Chaplain to that institution, where he continued till the df.y o his death. His beloved wife, Mrs. Rebecca D. Forbes, had preceded him to the Heavenly Home Jan 16th, 1878. His missionary life at these islands embraced a period of fifteen years and a half, and the total period of his service under the A. B. C F. M. was seventeen years. The Philadelphia Presbyterian says of him : " His kind and gentle ways, and his cheering and comforting words won many hearts to himself, and opened the way to spiritual guidance which will be remembered by many to whom he had access. His uttractive character and useful life won him the respect and confidence of all his Christian brethren Of his fellow-voyagers in the reinforcement of 1812, Rev. L Lyons, of Waimea, Rev. Messrs. Alexander, of Wailuku, and Lyman, of Hilo. with their wives, and Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs Emerson and Mrs. Hitchcock are the only remaining survivors. A. 0. F.

What shall it be for each one of us ; for our association; for the land of our birth, or adoption T It is a momentous thought that we can shape it largely as we will. Our association is now in its eleventh year, and we ought to be putting off tbe things of childhood, and taking up those of manhood ; that is, we ought to do more and better work; there is a plenty of it waiting for us. Let us make a good record for 1881. the Christian church. They came with olulu their chances of taking and spreading their certficates of Church Membership. it are, perhaps, better than the native's.
