His father, Hon. S. C. Allen, was an eminent lawyer of Massachusetts, a member of the legislature of the same state and also a memlier of Congress. Mr. Allen graduated with distinction from William's College in 1823, after which he studied law in his father's office at Brattleboro, Vt., and in 1826removed to Bangor, Maine, and began the practice of law. He was a member of the state legislature from 1836 to 1841, and in 1838 was speaker of the House. He took a prominent part in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question at that time. He was elected to the twenty-seventh congress taking his seat in March, 1841. He failed of election to the succeeding term, the successful competitor being Hannibal Hamlin, afterward Vice-President of the United States, and who was one of the pall bearers at Mr. Allen's funeral at Bangor. He was on the foreign affairs committee while in Congress, and was further concerned in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question. In 1846 Mr. Allen took up his residence in Boston and there practised law. In 1849 he was elected to the legislature of Massachusetts, and in 1850 was appointed U. S. Consul to the Hawaiian Islands, and left shortly after for this country. He decided to remain in the islands and gave up his office to accept a place in the Hawaiian cabinet as Minister ofFinance. He was sent as Envoy to the United States in 1856, and was appointed Chief Justice and Chancellor in 1857, which office he held for the long term of twenty years. He was sent to the United States on diplomatic missions in 1864, and in 1870 was again accredited to the government and has held the position ever since. He labored long and earnestly in behalf of a treaty of reciprocity between the two governments and it was largely due to his efforts that the present treaty was negotiated in 1876. Notwithstanding his advanced age, within a few weeks of seventy-nine years, he was still engaged in active work in favor of the treaty at the time of his death. He was the dean of the diplomatic corps at Washington and fell dead shortly after paying his respects to the President with his colleagues. He was a trusted and honored servant of this kingdom, whose gratitude he has richly earned, and was held in the highest regard by his large circle of official and personal acquaintances in Washington and elsewhere in the East. His death is a great loss and is much to be regretted by the people of these islands, who all unite in tending to the bereaved relatives their most sincere sympathy and warmest aloha. g �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 10 NEW GUINEA AND THE NEW GUINEA MISSION. BY REV. A. W. MURRAY. The Island of New Guinea, as we all know, lies close to the shores of Australia. It is separated from the extreme north point, Cape Yorke, by a channel only about eighty miles in breadth. This channel, Torres Straits, is studded with islands, so in passing from Australia to New Guinea, land is always in sight. The island of New Guinea, so named by the early Dutch navigators, from a fancied resemblance to Guinea on the coast of Africa, is now ascertained to be the largest island on our globe. Like most of the islands of Polynesia it lies NNW. and SSE. It is wholly to the south of the equator, extending from 0° 22' to 10° 42' south latitude, and from about 125° to 150° east longitude. Its extreme length is 1,490 miles, and its greatest breadth is 410 miles. It has an area of about 300,000 square miles, about double that of Japan, and the estimated population is 2,133,000. This estimate qf course can only be taken as an approximation towards correctness, it is not however a mere guess. It is based upon the ascertained population of parts well known, which shows 640 to the square mile, and applying that to the whole area, as given by Wallace, the most reliable authority, it yields the number we have named, It is hardly likely that this an is overestimate. Of the interior of this great land, little is known, and even many parts of the coast have been very imperfectly examined, and it may safely be affirmed that no part of the globe of equal extent is so little known. It is just to us now what the interior of Africa was to our fathers fifty years ago—an unknown land. And does not this fact invest it with a profound interest ? What a field for exploration and discovery is before the missionary and the traveller! 2,133,000. 1883. further refer to the island as a whole. This part of the island, beginning at Torres Straits, has a coast line of about 600 miles, and on the south side within the space of about 400 miles along the coast and 15 inland ; there is a population of about 55,000. Our knowledge of this is the result of a careful estimate made by our enterprising brother Mr. Chalmers, who has visited every place of importance from the great gulf, close to Torres Straits, to the East Cape which forms the extreme point of the island. The most noticeable feature in this part of the island is a magnificent mountain range named the Owen Stanley Range, after the commander of one of Her Majesty's ships, who visited the island many years ago. This gentleman was a brother of the late Dean Stanley, and it is an interesting fact that his mortal remains lie interred in Australian soil, I believe in the North Shore Cemetery, close to those of the late Commander Goodenough. This mountain chain extends from near the gulf to within thirty miles of the East Cape, and it attains its greatest height in one grand mountain, which monarch-like, towers above the rest reaching the height of 13,200 feet. This is directly in the rear of Port Moresby, our chief missionary centre, and it forms one of the grandest sights on this part of New Guinea. Besides the great mountain range there are many smaller ranges, and there are mountains and hills of all shapes and sizes which we must not stop to particularize. The main range may be about forty miles inland, and along the coast there is a belt oflow-land of varying breadth, and there are rich and fertile valleys and streams and rivers, varying in size from the tiny rivulet that trickles down the mountain side, to the great Fly River, which, at its junction with the ocean is, I think about three miles in breadth. In some parts the soil seems poor, being covered with long coarse grass and scrub ; in others it appears equal to that of the finest islands No one has yet succeeded in crossing even the narrow eastern peninsula, and that is the only part of the island with which we have any considerable of Polynesia. acquaintance. Our knowledge of that All the principal places on the south dates from the the first missionary voy- coast, and also many places thirty or age to the island in 1871, made by Mr. forty miles inland have been visited by McFarland and myself. Before that Mr. Chalmers, so we have reliable inwe knew about as little of that part as formation respecting the numerous we now do of the main body of the tribes that inhabit these parts. The island, and since our missionary opera- various tribes differ considerably among tions are confined to that, I need not themselves. The Malay race seems decidedly to predominate, and though there seems a wide diversity among the languages spoken by the differenttribes, I think it probable that the differences will be found to be dialectic and not radical, a matter of great importance in a missionary point of view. Some of the tribes are cannibals, but the great majority are not Some are very quarrelsome, and are frequently at war, while others are more quiet aud peaceNo trace of infanticide has been found among them. On the contrary they are fond of their children, and brothers and sisters show much affection for each other, and children reverence their parents; and Mr. Chalmers makes the following important remark which goes far towards accounting for these unusually favorable traits among a heathen people :•—" No where have I found polygamy prevalent enough to call the New Guinea natives polygamists out and out." And this accounts also for another redeeming feature in the character of the people of New Guinea, women are more fairly treated than in most heathen lands with which I have any acquaintance. The men do all the heavier work, leaving to the women that which is more suited to their sex. To this however there is one remarkable exception—the women are the carriers of burdens, but to this they seem to take naturally without regarding it as anything of a hardship, and from habit they are able to carry great loads on their heads with apparent ease. Mr. Chalmers speaks of having seen women with loads high piled on their heads, and on the top of all a baby, climbing steep hills, 1,600 feet high with as much ease as if there were on a fine "macadamized road. Some of the tribes bear a very bad character and evidently deserve it, but on the whole, the natives of New Guinea compare favorably with most savage nations with which I am acquainted. We cannot compare them with what the Samoans were in their heathen state, but they are certainly of a much less fierce type than were the Fijians ; nor are they such ferocious cannibals as were some of the Hervey Islanders, the ancestors of the men and women who are now laboring among them as missionaries; and as regards their moral character, there is reason to believe that that stands considerably higher than did that of the Tahitian and Hervey Islanders before they were brought under the influence of the Gospel. able. (To be continued.) �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1883, NEWS BY THE MISSIONARY PACKET. The Morning Star arrived Thursday morning. She left June 19, 1882, and on this, her twelfth voyage, sailed 12,229 miles. The winds and currents have been unusually favorable, as Captain Bray reports only 431 hours of calm and 543 miles of head current. July 10th, anchored at Tapiteuea, finding the George Noble there. Nineteen days were spent in the Gilbert Islands. At Apemama the King and 300 of.his people were waiting to be admitted to the church. He had visited Maiana and addressed the people there, urging them to give up dancing and drinking and accept the religion of Jesus. On Marakai the old man, who is the ruling power in this ap in many other islands of the group, had enacted a prohibitory law. Whoever persisted in making or drinking toddy had his cocoa-nut trees cut down as a penalty. At Apaiank Rev. Mr. Walkup put his house and school on board the Morning Star and moved the institution to Kusaie. Left Butaritari July 29, and arrived at Kusaie August 13th. The various missionaries here organized themselves into the Micronesian Mission, with the design of holding an annual meeting and conferring with one another on the condition and progress of the missionary work. Ponape was reached August 27th, Mokil and Pingelap being visited on the way. Rev. Mr. Sturgis, Rev. Mr. Houston and wife, Mr. Rand and Miss Fletcher were landed here, and Mr. Rand's house. September Ist the Morning Star returned to Kusaie, and taking on board Dr. Pease and his family and scholars with Mrs. Rand, sailed September 16th for a voyage through the Marshall Islands, touching at Namerik, Ebon, Jaluit (where Mr. A. Capelle has recently been appointed United States Consular Agent), Mille, Arno, Mejuro, Maloeap, taking away for Honolulu the Hawaiian missionary Kekuewa, and anchored again October 29th at Kusaie, having visited all the missionary stations and given the old scholars (twelve men and boys) an opportunity to visit home, and taking two new ones. Landed Mrs. Rand at Ponape November 7th, and then taking Rev. Mr. Doane and some Ponapean teachers, sailed for the Mortlocks and Ruk. At Uman 200 of the Ruk natives came on board to visit the largest vessel. A new teacher was landed at Tefan; the one left last year at Utet had died. There are now four churches with ninety-three members in Ruk, and the whole people as well as others to the west are desirous of teachers. Reached Ponape December 12th, on the return voyage, having been gone only thirty-one days. December 21 st started homeward for Honolulu, bringing back Mr. and Mrs. Houston, whose intention at first was to go to Kusae. But in coming out in the last boat the plug was knocked out, and when miles from land the boat sank to the gunwales. By dint of swimming and floating the whole party reached the shore in safety. Most of the freight, which had been thrown out, was recovered the next day. Just before sailing, the Greyhound, from California, arrived at Ponape, bringing news of the arrival of the Julia at Honolulu the day after the Morning Star left. This was all the news heard from Honolulu during the voyage. THE GRAIN OF CORN AND PENNY. 11 THE SUTRO TUNNEL, THE Now completed, discharges 3,000,000 gallons of water daily from the Comstock mines. This water has a temperature of 195 degrees, and is conveyed through a closed pipe-flume to prevent the escape of vapor. After a passage of four miles through the first tunnel it loses suddenly 7odegreesof heat. A second tunnel, 1,100 feet long and an open water-way a mile and a-half long conduct the water to Carson River. Along its course are hot-water baths antl laundries, and a plan is on foot to conduct the hot-water through pipes under ground to be made available for purposes of irrigation and for supplying artificial heat to hot-houses.

A new way of dressing wounds, which was discovered by accident, has been introduced in the clinic of Professor Esmarch, at Kiel, by Dr. Neuberg. Twoyears ago there appeared at the clinic a laborer who had sustained a compound fracture of the torearm eight or ten days before, with considerable laceration. He had got a comrade to surround the whole forearm at once with a thick paste of peat mold, on which was laid a rough splint of wood. When he came to the clinic he was in good general health, and on clearing off the mold the doctor found the wound to be healing beautifully, without any sign of suppuration. Dr. Neuberg was led by this experiment to investigate the properties of peat mold, and his conclusion is that it is peculiarly valuable for the purpose ol oressing wounds, chiefly because of its great power of absorbing the products of decomposition. As seven! nay, worth its weight in gold, And that increased a million fold! For lo! a penny tract, if well Applied, may save a soul from hell. That soul can scarce be saved alone, It must, it will itsbliss make known: 'Come,' it will cry, 'and you shall see What great things God hath done for me.'

The value of these wells is pecuniarily very considerable, aside from their convenience. They have brought hundreds of otherwise useless lands under cultivation. Wells have been partially successful on Kauai, but not as yet on other islands. The following will be read with interest: The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution says From being the driest and one of the Artesian wells.—The — : unhealthiest towns in South-west Georgia, Albany has become perhaps Hhe best watered town in the State, and while the country round about is as full of sickness as ever, it has had very little, indeed, of the Customary sickliness. All this has been brought about simply by boring two artesian wells. Over 500 feet of boring was done at an expense nf less than $1,500, and a supply of absolutely pure and ice-cold water fully sufficient to more than supply the wants of the city of 3,500 people is the result Albany's example is being followed by several towns, and with the facts before them there is no reason why scores of South Georgia towns, which are now regarded as unhealthy on account of their water, should not become as healthy as the average. France is talking very big about Madagascar, as well as about Central Africa. M. Gambetta's organ assures us that we shall have to accept the treaty by which M. dc Brazza seized a large slice of territory upon the Upper Congo, and M. Grevy has refused to see the Hova delegates from Madagascar. France has from time immemorial asserted pretensions to that island she has never been able to justify. As late as 1868 she ceded her treaty rights, and acknowledged the sovereignty of the Queen of Madagascar. Now, with a strange high-handedness, she is disposed to repudiate this surrender, and wishes to revive her influence. Unfortunately the French are most unpopular in the island. They have been the curse of the country, introducing a loose morality and attempting all manner of oppression. Instead of being the most favored, France is the most detested nation in Madagascar. The English, on the other hand, have made no less substantial progress in the affections of the people. English is far more in the ascendant than French influence, and in this must be sought the real explanation of French pretensions in Madagascar.

Dr. Taylor, a native of the Old World, has become a genuine American, and sees so much good in American institutions that he expresses a most decided opinion, in opposition to the too prevalent idea, among Americans that it is best to educate their children in foreign lands, meaning Europe. "But," he adds, "when one has arrived at mature age, and grown into patriotic appreciation of his native land, he will be all the better fitted for the discharge of the active duties of life by making a brief and observant tour through the countries of the Old World."

Not only have the Trustees opened a " Preparatory" in the city, but on the college premises, have contracted to erect a brick building ioofeet long and two-story high, with deep verandahs, at a cost of over $20,000, —all to be finished on or before the opening of the next school year in September.

It seems to the writer as if the legitimate object of the Association was implied in its name, Young Men's Christian Association. The clear indications are that its work lies among the young men who are now here or may hereafrer come to Honolulu. The fact that two organizations already exist among the young Hawaiians of this community, viz: the Ahahui Opio o Kawaiahao and the Ahahui Opio o Kaumakapili would seem to indicate that the work of this association was not to be directed specially to the non-English speaking Hawaiian youth ofthe community. Again, the fact that an increasing band of before the present age the northern hemisphere witnessed a time of great cold, and more than a third of the North American continent was covered by an immense sheet of ice. The theory of a polar ice-cap is inadmissable since the places where the most ice has been accumulated correspond with those regions receiving the greatest precipitation of moisture. At present the south frigid zone approaches nearer the equator than the northern. Hence some authors think it is passing through its glacial period, and that every twenty thousand years the polar regions are alternately subjected to those frigid influences. Descriptions of existing glaciers in Switzerland and Greenland were given, illustrated by numerous diagrams. Glaciers were rivers of ice—"motionless torrents with silent cataracts." The movement may be three or four feet a day in Switzerland and sixty feet per day in Green- SELF-EXAMINATION. Did I this morn devoutly pray For God's assistance through the day? And did I read His sacred word, To make my life therewith accord ? Did I for any purpose try To hide the truth and tell a lie? Did I my time and thoughts engage As fits my duty, station, age ? Did I with care my temper guide. Checking ill-humor, anger, pride?* Did I my lips from aught refrain That might my fellow creature pain f Did I with cheerful patience bear The little ills that all must share ? For all God's mercies through this day, Did I my grateful tribute pay? And did I, when the day was o'er, God's watchful aid again implore?

We have a copy of that first number lying on our table. We are reminded of our modest aspirations, only aiming to issue occasionally a sheet, which should advocate the claims of Total Abstinence. Before the month closed, we made our arrangement with Mr. Rogers, the printer of the American Mission, to issue the paper each month. It must be remembered, that in 1842, no English newspaper was issued in this part of the world, although the S. I. Gazette and Polynesian had previously been published. Neither was an English paper published on the western coast of North or South America, or in any part of Polynesia. At a future time, we may note a few reminiscences of editorial life and experiences. SAD TRUTH. It is with sorrow, we make the statement, but we feel that we can honestly say, that, during the past 90 days of free-liquor, we have seen more Hawaiians intoxicated than during the previous forty years of our residence in Honolulu. We do not say, but there has been drunkenness among the native population, but it has not been open and public. It has been rare to witness an Hawaiian intoxicated in the public streets, that disgrace and dishonor has been mostly the lot of Europeans and Americans. Cannot Otb £cric.\ 40, members of the Legislature will be called together at the forthcoming Coronation. Now, is it not within their legal and constitutional province, to either repeal the Free-liquor Law or enact another which shall arrest the tide of intemperance among Hawaiians, and also among foreigners ?

A Sermon preached in Ihe Bethel, Honolulu, Sabbath morning, December /yth. on the occasion 0/the death of the Rev. Titus Coan at Hilo, December 2d, and 47 years a Missionary ofA. B. C. F. M. By Rev. S. C. Damon. Text, Romans 147. " For none of us liveth to himself and no man ilieth to himself." There is an invisible chain binding all mankind in one great bond. No member of the human family can take his stand outside of that great bond and say, " I will stand aloof, inde|>endent and alone, having no part or sympathy with my fellow men." The only being on earth who has acknowledged this principle, in the truest, fullest and best meaning of the term, was the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, born nearly nineteen hundred years ago,.in Bethlehem, and whose birth will soon be recognized by so many millions throughout the Christian world. * * In proportion as this grand truth is received, felt and becomes influential, in the same proportion will those adopting it, become like Christ, enlarged, elevated and world-wide in :ir sympathies and influences. * * ***** * * The hisy of the church universal furnishes inobled, unples of many noble men and women, whose lives beautifully illustrate the sentiment of the text. They their Divine Master have lived and en ready to die for the well-being of others. Their lives were devoted to the good of their fellow men. They have evinced a rare devotion in the elevation and uplifting of those for whom Christ died. In their lives there has been a reflection of the life of Him who went about doing good and who could say, I am the resurrection and the life." In their lives has been a reproduction ofthe life of Christ, agreeable to the language of Paul, I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." In a modified and inferior sense this is the sentiment or feeling, of every true follower of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The truly Christian man or woman lives for the good ofothers and their usefulness ceases not when they leave this world, but being dead they speak, and their memories fragrant with the perfume of kind words and loving deeds, are cherished for long years and centuries. Our dead" says George Elliot "are not te " " " dead to us until we have forgotten them." The church at large does not forget the lives of the true and good, any more readily than their kindred and friends. If their names are forgotten on earth, they will be found recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life. THE DEATH OF THE REV. TITUS COAN. One such has recently passed away and left an important field of usefulness in our island community. It was his privilege to die in the beautiful home, where he had lived nearly a half century and to be buried in the churchyard, where he had so long preached. He was known to many of you personally, and you have often heard him lecture and preach. For very many years he annually preached in this pulpit, when he made his visits to Honolulu in June, to attend the meetings of the Hawaiian Association. The grand business and great object of his life has been to preach the gospel among Hawaiians, and right nobly has he performed his life-work, first in his own church, and after that in preaching tours through the Puna and Hilo districts, although, his labors have not been confined to the immediate neighborhood where he lived. He loved Hawaiians, old and young, at home and abroad. I need not dwell on this feature of his character and life, in proof that he was an earnest, successful and devoted missionary. His recent publication, "Life in Hawaii," is a modest autobiograhical sketch of his own missionary life, as well as a valuable contribution to island history. In that volume, the fact is happily developed, yet well-known to his friends and the public that he had broad sympathies which led him to labor efficiently for his fellow men, of all races and nationalities, so far as they were brought under his influence. LABORS IN BEHALF OF SEAMEN. Here I may appropriately allude to his efforts and labors, through a long course of years in behalf of seamen. For many years he has been a most efficient seamen's chaplain. Assisted by the Rev. Mr. Lyman, a chaplaincy was there sustained by their voluntary well-directed efforts, which for efficiency and usefulness equalled almost any chaplaincy in any other parts of the world. Upon this subject I can speak with great freedom and assurance for during the past forty years I have been in the most intimate correspondence with him upon this subject. I feel quite sure the spiritual interests of seamen attached to the whaling fleet and vessels of war, could not have been more thoughtfully cared for if a chaplain had been sent out from America or England for this special field of labor, yet this extra service was discharged with the most hearty cheer and thoughtful consideration. I feel quite sure many masters, officers and seamen will have good reason to bless God, to all eternity, that they touched at Hilo, in their long voyages, and came under the happy influence of the Rev. Mr. Coan and the other resident missionaries at that port. MR. COAN AS A PREACHER SPEAKER. AND Our departed missionary friend and ministerial associate was one who loved to preach the gospel. He was no ordinary preacher, but often was truly eloquent in both English and Hawaiian. His sermons in the latter lan- guage must have numbered many thousands, while in the English he was ever willing to assist other ministers and always preached to great acceptance. As a platform speaker few were more ready or eloquent. During his visit to the United States in 1870 his services were in great demand, and he addressed thousands in the East, the West and the Middle States. MR. COAN'.S PATAGONIAN EXPLORATIONS. Distinctly do I remember, when an undergraduate in Amherst College, hearing a narrative of that visit of ex- ploration in company with Mr. Arms, who came to Amherst and addressed the students. These explorers manifested a truly heroic spirit. Their tour is aptly and graphically described in the recent volume written by Mr Coan, and entitled Adventures in Patagonia." Theirs was a daring enterprise and worthy of being recorded beside that of the most perilous missionary tours since Paul, Peter and the other apostles traversed the Roman empire, from Palestine to far away Britain and Spain, and distant Arabia and India. " MR. COAN AT HOME. Some men are distinguished in their public career, but fail when viewed in the home circle and by their neighbors. We believe, it was the good fortune of our departed friend to appear at his very best at home and among his familiar friends and neighbors. He was most considerate and thoughtful of those with whom he came in familiar intercourse. How often have we heard guests refer to the home of the Missionary Coan at Hilo, and have ourselves ex[>erienced his kindness. I am happy to bear my testimony to the purity, refinement and ideal beauty and excellency of that home. It was one of"xv Homes" so enthusiastically and happily described by the Rev. Dr. Chancy in his volume entitled, "Aloha." There was one trait of his character to which I would not fail to allude, I refer to his love for children. They were in his thoughts continually and his correspondence with many of them outside of his family circle was He delighted to most interesting. preach for their special benefit. There are other traits to which I might make reference as for example, his love for science and nature.

China is feeling the influence of Western ideas and Western civilization. I doubt if there is any other people on the face of the globe among whom the Gospel will win such victories in the next quarter of a century, as in China. And not only is this true of those who remain at home in China, but it is also true of those Chinamen who emigrate to other lands. They are being christianized. And yet, in the face of facts, there is a general impression that Christian work among the Chinese is a failure. Not long ago an intelligent American made the astounding assertion in my presence that "after years of effort, all the Christians on the Pacific coast claimed was eighteen converts." As an encouraging fact, I clip the following from the Christian Union's report of the Cleve- 3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, Gatherings.—Never Christmas have churches, schools and families so generally observed Christmas, as during the past week. One lady remarked in our hearing, that she never was in a place before where they had so many Christmas days. For nearly a week, gatherings were prevalent, at the Bethel, Fort Street church, Chinese church, English church. Catholic church, Katimakapili church and Kawaiahao, and we know not in how many families. Our limits will not permit our noticing these in detail, but that great good will result, we entertain no doubt. There is a great amount of Christian philosophy summed up in the remarks made by the late Mr. Marquand, of Connecticut, who, while he lived, was an open-handed friend of every good work: '"A Christian,' he says, 'should never be troubled because he is asked to give. If he cannot give he may well be sorry; but if he does not wish to give he ought to be more than sorry —he should be alarmed. Lack ot money is by no means so sad as is the lack of a disposition to contribute of what one has. A man often shuts the door in the face of his best friend when he shuts out any call to his benevolence.'" Mr. Cook in India. He thus writes about himself:— "In all I have made forty-two public appearances in India and Ceylon on eighty-four consecutive days. Thirty of these have been elaborate lectures, from one to two hours long, and the others were sermons and shorter addresses. Everywhere I have had as Life of John Geddie D.

For common blessings the usefulness of which is absolutely necessary to our welfare, like the shining of the sun and the air we breath, we seldom stop to give thanks or really appreciate their importance. The Honolulu Sailors' Home has become so much of a fixture in our community, and its usefulness is so generally diffused through the twelve months of the year that we seldom think of it as one of our benevolent institutions needing support. It is here and lives, but few care to inquire how. At our last annual meeting the executive committee were authorized to expend $300 in the way of necessary repairs, provided the money could be raised. We have to report that on commencement of the work the building was found so much decayed that over $600 was necessary to cover the outlay, but the treasurer will report that the mqney was raised, and principally from among the trustees; hence it is our privilege to report that a debt of only a few dollars remains unpaid, and the building is now in good repairs for years to come.

Harper cV Brothers. 1878. Some thirty and more years ago, we recollect to have read, with intense interest, M. Hue's Thibet, and have heard of his book of Travels relating to a journey through the Empire of China, but we have not had the good fortune to meet with the latter work, until while making a late visit to the Government Library. We can hardly describe the delight wehave experienced inreading this work. The journey was made forty years ago, but the description has all the freshness of a present reality. It is one of the most charming and brilliant narratives we ever read, and among the many books we have read upon the Chinese Empire, this is the best. Although written by a Catholic Priest, we have met with scarcely an expression to Empire. which we could not assent. Of course "A French Lazarist" views christian missions and christian life from a different stand-point from that of a Calvinistic New Englander, yet they have more in common than some superficial observers would imagine. M. Hue with his companion M. Gabet went as missionaries in 1838, to the interior of Asia, among the inhabitants of Tartary and Thibet. After learning the language, and laboring there for 1883 of person and mental powers enriched by education, culture and refinement. It has been our high privilege to meet persons of this class. Among them was the christian lady whose life and letters we have had laid upon our table. More than forty years ago, while private tutor in a family residing on the banks ofthe beautiful Delaware River, as it gently glides along the shores of New Jersey, it was our privilege to become acquainted with a family in the City of Burlington, N. J., in which were two sisters, Jeannette and Martha Hulme. The latter was richly endowed with poetical and intellectual attainments of a high order, married the Rev. Dr. Canfield, a clergyman of the Episcopal church, who was settled in Ohio, but subsequently in the cities of New York and Brooklyn. Her published works appeared among the volumes of the American Sunday School Union. The other sister married and found her home in the interior of Ohio. There a most charming family of sons and daughters adorned her household. While surrounded with domestic cares and called to carry many of life's burdens, yet she found time for an extensive correspondence, and the reading of choice religious and literary books. The volume lying before us, is the beautiful record of her life, dying at the age of sixty years. It has been our privilege to correspond with members of this family, and during our visit to the United States in 1869, to enjoy their hospitality. There is much in this volume to remind the reader of Hare's "Memorials of a Quiet Life," and also Miss Havergal's writings. Mrs. Piatt was a lady of great excellence and genuine refinement to which was added an ideal attractiveness of person, as appears trom the uncommonly beautiful vignette opposite the title page. The artist has succeeded in reproducing from her photograph a picture worthy of an ar- some years, for reasons not apparent, the Chinese government at Peking ordered their return, Thibet being a dependency of China. On their return from L'hassa to Canton, they travelled at the expense of the Chinese Government. The two volumes contain a narrative of their journey of six months through the very heart of the great empire. Such a journey was never before taken, neither will it be soon followed. If any of our readers desire a peep into the heart of China, we commend to their reading these volumes of M. Hue. tist's studio. We can most heartily join in the remark of one of her friends, Life and Letters of Mrs JeanCompiled by "Never have I known a life more innette H. Platt, her husband. Philadelphia. E. fused with a spirit of Christianity, or Claxton 6f Co., 930 Market St., animated with a sweeter or deeper trust 1882. than hers." This we think will be the It was a saying of Martin Luther, verdict of all the readers of this vol"There is nothing sweeter on earth ume. than the heart of a woman in which The elements conspiring to call into piety dwells." This saying is intensi- being a life and character so pure, fied in meaning, when its possessor is noble, refined and useful, were a rich endowed by her Creator with beauty legacy from her Quaker ancestry, an _ Episcopal training(Revs. Drs. Tyng and Bedell of Philadelphia,) and the home life, amid rural scenes of Ohio. Her letters indicate that she was in intimate correspondence with a wide circle of appreciative friends, and persons of uncommon refinement. Homes, presided over by such noble women and Christian mothers, are the hope of America, and happy prestige for the future of the Great Republic. It is not wealth, or station which are necessary for domestic happiness and genuine christian refinement, but purity of life, love for learning, an unfaltering trust in Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind, and an earnest endeavor to follow in his footsteps, in whatever situation of life our lot may be cast. Most heartily we commend this volume, of over 350 pages, to the thoughtful perusal of all fond of reading good books, and who are doubtfulfor the future of America. We shall have confidence in the future, of our native land, so long as it shall be adorned with christian homes, presided over by such pure and noble mothers. THE ANGLICAN CHURCH CHRONICLE. This is the name of a new Monthly which made its appearance on the 2d of December, and hereafter to appear on the first Saturday of each month. There is ample room for such a periodical and we heartily wish it success. The style of the editorials indicate a generous, Catholic and Christian spirit. Ever since the rise of non-episcopal churches in England aud the establishment of the Episcopal Church in the United States, there has been a strong antagonism, which now seems to be dying away. All these various hranches of the universal Catholic church, seem now to be more harmonious than ever before. The Episcopal church in Old England, has recently extended the hand of christian friendship to Dissenting churches and the Salvation Army, in a most cordial manner. We hope the Chronicle and The Friend may labor together in good earnest, in disseminating a pure gospel and promoting evangelistic work. Having enjoyed a long career of pleasant editorial life, we can most heartily extend the right hand of christian and editorial friendship to our young brothers. No one knows what he can bear till he is tried; when the trial comes he is surprised at his capacity.— United Presbyttria. �Fort Street Church—Rev J. A.

We clip the following series of questions and answers on association work from the "Proceedings of the Second Annual Convention of the Y. If. C. A. of California for 1882: O. Should association rooms be opened during any part of Sunday? A. I think they should, unless there is an objection to it on the part of the local pastors. There arc always young men who would not go to church, but who might spend an evening profitably at the rooms. Q. How can we attract young men to the association rooms and encourage them to spend their evenings there instead ofon the street? A Hy making the rooms attractive, and inviting them to lectures, concerts, etc., and taking special care to introduce them to the young workers of the association. Q. Do you approve of debating clubs, lyceums, etc., in connection with association work ? A. Yes, if you have the right man to conduct them. It requires brains to successfully carry on a debating society as well as any other business. Q. Should association work be confined to spiritual matters, or are gymnasiums and literary societies essential parts of the work for young men? A. Most assuredly they are. All these auxiliaries are proper in their place, and should always be considered as a means to an end, and that end the bringing of young men within the influence of the association and on the way to Christ. Q. Would you provide social games in the association parlors? A. Yes, with proper restriction I would. We furnish checkers, chess and dominoes, and they are frequently used and evidently enjoyed and appreciated by our young men. Q. Is it not practicable to post illuminated and othei mottoes, teaching religious truths? A. It is, if the thing is not carried too far. We have known of individuals so injudicious as to stick up what are known as "Gospel Stickers,'' prepared with mucilageon the back, all over the walls of restaurants, horse cars, sign boards, etc., all this having a tendency to make irreligious people swear, with some grounds of justification. We have many exchanges at hand, to some of which we would like to make special reference, but our limited space does not permit. When we are warranted in having a larger sheet, we shall then be happy to make due notices and acknowledgments. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
