We copy the foregoing paragraph from a private letter to the editor, written by J. Hunnewell, Esq., of Boston, and dated Boston, April 29, 1867. This suggestion strikes us favorably, and we should be glad to see it carried out. We are confident if the project was fairly undertaken, it would be consummated in a style becoming a grateful people. There is a vague idea floating in our mind that some years ago, a subscription for this object was started, and several hundred dollars collected. Will not some one give us information upon this subject, if such a project was undertaken ? Let no one imagine that we entertain visionary and impractical ideas upon this subject. We do not call for thousands and tens of thousands, but a moderate sum of one or two thousand dollars would suffice, if no more could be collected. The idea has been suggested that no more suitable monument could be erected than a drinking fountain, surmounted with a bust of his late Majesty. It has also been suggested that this fountain be located in the triangular open lot near the Stone Church, where King and Punchbowl streets intersect. If any one has a better or more feasible project, let him suggest it. Will not some of our skillful architects visit the spot, and then embody the idea of a fountain, combining the ornamental and useful, the beautiful and the practical ? O all ye lovers of constitutional liberty in this nation, think of this, and then honor the memory of the King who enfranchised his serfs, granted a Constitution to his subjects, and gave a feesimple of the land to the common people. Is not such a King worthy of a monument ? Books, Books.—We cannot say that we read all the advertisements of every newspaper which chances to fall under our inspection, but we do confess a fondness for that species ofliterature. We also confess a fondness for catalogues of books, and of schools and colleges. In late numbers of the Commercial Advertiser, Mr. Whitney has published a list of books which he offers for sale. It occupies a column or more, and in our estimation is as well worthy of perusal as much other matter which finds a place in newspapers. Readers of all tastes and fancies can find some books in that list suited to their minds. As long as we have no'public liurary in Honolulu, we are glad that Mr. Whitney keeps constantly on hand a supply of books, old as well as new. Photographs of Scenery on Kauai.—Mr. Valentine, who has been engaged during the last few months in photographing scenes on the island of Kauai, left in the Murray for San Francisco. Before sailing he disposed of his negatives to Messrs. Crabb and Meek, who are now prepared to furnish sets or single views. Some of these are very fine, and well worthy of the attention of the friends of the beautiful art of photography. 65 .ODl&Serits, M.U. The Millennium. 1. For the Friend.

Revtsitkd, describing the Event of a New Boign, and the Kevulution whioh followed. By the $ev.mW. Ellu, (p. SOi) London John Madaqascak Murray. : This is the title of the new volume written by Mr. Ellis upon Madagascar. In the London Friend for January 1, 1867, we find the following extracts, which we are confident many of our readers will peruse with interest. His previous book on Madagascar was entitled "Three Visits," Sec., during 1853, 1854, 1856. Since that time there has been one terrible persecution, which the reader will find described in the following paragraphs. In that volume the author, after relating his departure from the capital in 1856, remarks in reference to the legal status of Christianity : The laws against the Christian religion are" not repealed, and may, for purposes to us inscrutable, be allowed by the all-wise and all-merciful God to be again enforced." Before this remark was printed, or probably written, a storm of persecution as fierce and sanguinary as any which they had suffered burst upon the Christians. As this storm, though not arising in the first place from political causes, was doubtless intensified by them, we include in our extract the resume of these given in the work : Twelve months before my visit in 1856, M. Lambert, a French trader, or planter, from Mauritius, visited Antananarivo, expressed much sympathy with the Christians, and gave them some relief. He also with M. Laborde, a Frenchman long resident in the country, entered into a kind of agreement with the prince to attempt the change above adverted to [to set aside the queen, and place the prince upon the throne.] In furtherance of this object, M. Lambert had visited France and England, proposing to their respective governments to send out troops to effect this change in the sovereignty of Madagascar. His proposal, however, had been refused, and he had been recommended to seek the improvement of the country by extending commercial intercourse, rather than by attempting a revolution. Early in 1857 M. Lambert returned to Antananarivo, accompanied by Madame Ida Pfieffer, whom he had met at the Cape of Good Hope. They were received in the most friendly manner by the Government, and although the attempt to obtain force from France and England had failed, Messrs. Laborde and Lambert, in association with the prince, and relying on some of the officers and troops said to be favorable to their object, determined to attempt its accomplishment. It was proposed to seize the palace by a sort of coup d'etat, arouse the city by the firing of cannon, proclaim the prince king, and force the queen to retire, retaining her titles, her liberty, and the undisturbed possession of all her property. Before any opportunity occurred for executing this plan, the prince withdrew, and endsavored to persuade the Frenchmen to relinquish the attempt. But they appear to have thought they might still succeed. At length, a month or so after their first movement in this business, the queen having heard of the proceedings of the French, returned all the presents which M. Lambert had brought out, and sent officers with her orders, declaring that in consequence of their treasonable attempts to change the Government, and their having encouraged the Christians, &c., M. Lambert, M. Laborde, and other French gentlemen, the priests, and Madame Pfieffer, were to leave the capital forthwith, under an escort to Tamatave, and were to depart from the country by the first ship. They set out the next morning, but were more than fifty days on the journey, and suffered from fever, which was probably intended to be part of their punishment. More than a month before the sentence of expulsion pronounced against the French, a traitor among the Christians accused a number of them of being Christians, and practicing Christian worship. His name, which he has since changed, was then Katsimandisa. He had been educated by the former missionaries, and had associated with the Christians, though I never heard that he had suffered in any of their persecutions. He wrote out a list of the names of the principal Christians in the capital, and gave it to one of the officers to deliver to the queen. The officer, before delivering the paper to the queen, took it to the prince, who instantly destroyed it. The queen was, nevertheless, soon informed that there were a number of Christians in the capital; and on the 3d of July, 1857, a Kabary was delivered, requiring all who had been guilty of any act of Christian worship to come and accuse themselves, as in such case the punishment might be diminished. Few, if any, did so ; a number fled, and the soldiers and others were sent to scour the country in all directions in search of the Christians, whom they were ordered to seize and bring bound to Antananarivo. All parties testify to the unremitted endeavors of the prince and the commander- in-chief to intercept accusations against the Christians, and prevent the capture of the fugitives. They said that the Christians, if near, fled to the house of the prince,and that when, breathless and palpitating with fear, and ready to sink with exhaustion, they reached his door, he welcomed and encouraged ihem, saying, "Don't be afraid; take courage; God will protect you; conceal yourselves as well as you can ; " and that if he could not give them shelter, he would tell them where they might perhaps find it, endeavoring, if opportunity offered, to send their pursuers in contrary direction that the Christians might escape. A large number, notwithstanding, were apprehended, some in the capital, but the gteaterpart among the villages, at their own residences, or in other places where they had sought concealment. They were charged with being Christians, and with offering Christian prayer. In an affecting account furnished to me by the brother of one of them—an active, intelligent, and enterprising man, in good Worldly circumstances—it is stated, that when the officer found his retreat, a cavern in the side of a rocky mountain not far from his dwelling, and told him he must take him as a prisoner, the Christian said, " What have I done ? I am not a murderer nor a traitor; I wronged no one-" . The officer replied, " No ; it is not for that, but for praying that I must take you." To this the Christian replied, "If that is the impeachment, it is true : I have done that. 1 do not refuse to go with you." Similar charges were preferred against all who were denounced to the Government; and no one, so far as I heard, when so accused, denied the charge. I was not able to learn the exact number arrested, and condemned to different penalties, but they exceeded two hundred, and most of the punishments were extreme. Fourteen were stoned to death at one place, and others afterwards. Fifty-seven were banished in fetters, of whom more than half died. The Tnngena, or poison, was administered to about fifty, of whom eight died. Sixteen among the larger number reduced to slavery were redeemed at high prices; and six devoted leading men among the Christians who were condemned to death, and had effected their escape, remained in concealment until the accession of Hadama, a period of four years and six months. This persecution was the most severe and fatal which had yet fallen on the infant church in Madagascar. Those who were stoned to death suffered at a rocky place called Fiadana, to the west of the south end of the city, and about a mile and a half from the martyrs' precipice,and from Ambohipotsy. When the fourteen were taken in broad noonday to the place of execution, Andriamanantena, the honored Christian leader, whose arrest in the cavern 1 have already mentioned, offered unto God in those last moments, and before the assembled multitude, a brief but solemn prayer, imploring mercy for their queen and their country, and committing their spirits in love and trust to the hands of their Almighty Saviour. The victims were then bound to the stakes, and the crowds who had been summoned to the scene gathered round to witness, or take part in the stoning—the most revolting, barbarous and brutalizing of the modes of taking away life. Most of the sufferers soon obtained relief in death ; but some, after being apparently dead, revived, and were again battered with stones, or mercifully decapitated, the heads being afterwards fixed on poles. My heart sickens even now at the remembrance of the hardening and demoralizing exhibition presented to the people on the sanguinary day of the stoning to death, as related to me by some of my own servants and others who were spectators, though not Christians then. There were, however, among the crowd, some whom affection and sympathy had drawn into fearful proximity with the penalty to which their faith exposed them. These men marked the exact spots where friends and loved ones were bound, battered and fell; and when night and darkness covered the scene, and while hungry dogs held carnival there, they stole in silence, equipped with heavy clubs, or poles, and carrying large matting sacks, to the bloody field, and groped among the slain for the bodies, but especially the heads of their friends. Driving away the dogs from their prey, they put the bodies into the sacks which they had brought, bore them away to the nearest Christian dwelling, and then hastened back to recover more of the mortal remains of those who had that day fallen in love, and trust,and loyally to Christ. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1867. Most of the sufferers were men above the ordinary class of their countrymen, not in rank, possessions, or authority, but in character, ability and influence. Their wives, with scarcely an exception, were involved in the same condemnation, though their punishment was different. Some were sentenced to drink the Tangena, an ordeal of poison, but the greater number to be loaded with fetters. Sixteen were so bound on the day after the executions at Fiadana. Fifty more, at least, were so punished. • I brought home with me some of the fetters fixed on the bodies of the Christians at this time. The ring round the neck is composed of a rugged piece of iron, six inches in diameter, passed through an aperture at the end of a heavy bar of iron, nearly three feet long. The ring was bent round the neck of the Christians, and fastened by a large rivet. Two other rings, somewhat less ponderous, were fixed in the same way, one on each ankle, the weight of the whole being more than fifty-six pounds. Loaded with these fetters, the Christians were sent away to distant parts of the country where the fever prevailed, in order that the pains of the fever might be added to the torture of their fetters, and that the gradual approach of death might be rendered more physically agonizing to themselves, and more appallingly terrible to others. One party of them went to Ambohibohazo, a hundred miles distant to the east; another party was sent to the north-east to these conditions, have been instantly relieved; but they refused relief at such a price. They suffered on and on, month after month, and year after year, until death brought them deliverance, " enduring as seeing Him who is invisible," and " not accepting deliverance," that they might obtain a better and more glorious resurrection." The Cross, and the Doctrine of the Cross. 67 of St. Paul,."even the death of the cross." And thus the unspeakable condescension of Him who consented to be nailed on it, would have been magnified by the contrast with the vile thing itself. But when its use as a gibbet was abolished, and criminals were executed in some other way, then all its horrors gradually faded from men's memories, and.the hateful thing itself would have been utterly forgotten, and become as completely an unknown thing as any other special custom of Imperial Rome, but for the fact that Jesus of Nazareth had suffered on it. This rescued it from oblivion. And thus, losing its original associations of horror and degradation, it became associated with the memory of Him, and the affection fell for Him,and the veneration paid to Him, until the original distinction between the cross and the doctrine of the cross was lost sight of j and the instrument itself, instead of being as at first contrasted in its ignominy with the condescending love of Christ who died upon it, was magnified in remembrance of Him ; and in process of time, and through the idolatrous cravings of human nature, the figure of it was reproduced, of all sizes, and of all materials, and set up as an object of The following extract from a sermon of Dr. M'Neile, shows the distinction between the cross and the doctrine of the cross with great force and clearness. Speaking on John xix. 25-27, Canon M'Neile said : In holy Scripture the cross is used literally and metaphorically. Literally, it means the instrument for capital punishment used by the Romans. Metaphorically, it means the doctrine of atonement for sin, made by the death upon it of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Literally, it signifies the most ignominious of gibbets. Metaphorically, it signifies the most glorious of truths. It is" no wonder that some confusion should have arisen from the use of the same word in such very different meanings.

AUGUST ND, 1867. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Imne tke Caae-Fltlds tad Groves at Hakiwia. Change is agreeable when a passage of thirty-six hours transfers a person from the heated atmosphere of Honolulu to the cool and bracing region of Makawao. Virgil near two thousand years ago noticed this fact among sailors, that the enjoyment of rest after a voyage very soon led them to forget all the hardships and dangers which they had experienced at sea. Landsmen resemble the sailor in this respect. How very soon a person forgets sea-sickness and other discomforts. As we left the wharf at Honolulu, friends wished us a pleasant trip, and just at that moment we saw a beautiful rainbow spanning Nuuanu Valley. "A good omen," we exclaimed. On our arrival at Kahului, just after sunrise on the morning of the 19th, we espied a beautiful rainbow spanning the Wailuku Valley. Good omens appeared to attend our voyage. Thanks to Capt. Wetherby, of the Ka Moi, for his kind attentions. Not two days elapsed after leaving Honolulu ere we were snugly domiciled at Grove Ranch, where the cool breezes from Haleakala came sweeping along and inspiring life, vigor and health. Most appropriately has this spot been styled Grove Ranch. The groves in this vicinity are beautiful. Some of these groves of kukui and koa are old and venerable, while several young groves of the Pride of India ornament the ranch and the adjoining plantations. The poet Bryant says: " The groves were God's first temples." Surely a beautiful grove is no unfit spot wherein to worship God. While wandering among them, the mind is impressed with the truthfulness of Bryant's address to the God of nature: " r»tl.cr, thy hand Hath rear'd these venerable oolurans; thou down roof t thuu didst look this verdant Didst weare Upon the naked'earth, and forthwith rose They, in thy sun, trees. ranks of All these fair Budded, and shook their green leaves lv thy breeie. And shot towards heaven." Some one has said, that person is a benefactor who makes one blade of grass to grow where none grew before. If so, does not the person planting and rearing a tree much more deserve to be styled a benefactor ? It is gratifying to witness the marked change produced in Honolulu during the last few years. The city has become a grove, and we hope m% ere long merit being styled a forest, which is the enlargement of a grove. We hone the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society will aid in carrying out this idea. Let a nursery of trees be started, and furnished gratis to all who will adorn the streets, or even their own premises, with fruit or shade trees. We find our thoughts wandering back to Honolulu. Why should they not ? Habit is everything. In Honolulu we have spent nearly a quarter of a century, freely mingling with all classes of its permanent and roving population. Under the kind Providence of God we have there enjoyed as much of earthly happiness as usually falls to the lot of mortals. We have witnessed the growth of one generation. Many of those whom we have known as children, it has been our privilege to see coining forward and occupying, honorable positions in life, at the Islands and elsewhere. The very evening before embarking for Maui, it was our privilege to officiate at a scene similar to that which our Saviour honored by his presence at Cana of Galilee. As a friend of man, of society, of State, of Church, and of all that is lovely and of good report, we cannot view with indifference the addition of another family to the sacred fraternity of matrimony. 0 friendly to the beat pursuit* of man— anil to peace, to thought, to *Friendly Domestic life.*' virtue between Molokai and Maui, he was so effectually deceived by the low land between East and West Maui, that he ran his ship square on the shore, and she became a total wreck. We cannot say just how long ago this took place, but it must have been over thirty years since. At the time of the wreck, Mr. Titcomb, of Kauai, Mr. Thompson (late of Maui, and father of Henry Thompson, Esq., of Honolulu), and Capt. Chadwick, if we are not mistaken, were attached to the ship. In this as in sejreral other instances, the foreign population on these Islands has been recruited with some enterprising citizens from the crews of wrecked vessels. Last Sabbath morning it was our privilege to assemble with the church-going people of Makawao, who gathered at the neat and commodious foreign church for public worship. The Rev. J. S. Green preached an excellent sermon upon the subject of prayer. The singing was conducted by the daughter of the " Pastor of Makawao." It was a delightful privilege to be a hearer in this quiet country church far from the bustle of the city. Every day since our arrival in this region we have been mounted on horseback, and galloped over the hills and through the valleys of this most delightful spot. The exercise is most refreshing and invigorating. We have in prospect a trip to the summit of Haleakala, and other excursions, which will fully occupy the few brief days which are allotted to our summer vacation " among the canefields and groves of Makawao." So wrote Cowper, and so says every wellwisher to the human race. "Ah! but you did not drink wine on that occasion," interposes Mr. Carper. " No," is our reply. " So you think yourself better, I suppose, than our Saviour, who was present at the marriage in Cana of Galilee." " By no means ; we think no such thing. Without exactly undertaking to argue the question with you, Mr. Carper, we have only to say that on the present occasion they had ' no wine ; ' and how could we drink ?

Bulletin. �THE ¥XIX N D, AUGUST, Longfellow. We have come to a large square wooden house, with nothing especially attractive about it. It stands back from the street, its front in full view, looking over Charles River. Near it, at the sides, a few trees and bushes relieve the open space. This is the house known as Washington's Headquarters; and here for many years has lived Henry Longfellow, the sweetest and most romantic of American poets. The house seems full of him. The spacious rooms are furnished with unostentatious luxury; elegant literature is freely strewn about; pictures, engravings, and miscellaneous works of art. adorn the walls and grace the mantels. The library, on the second floor front, expresses the occupant. It is a large sunny room, filled with books in all languages, that seem to have fallen into their places at the bidding of the muse. Here sits the poet. Mr. Longfellow was always a poet to look at—in form, feature and expression a poet. Lawrence's portrait, engraved for the small blue-and-gold edition of the poetical works, gives an admirable idea of his head and countenance in its finest mood—though not in its domestic aspect. Since the fearful death of his wife the outward man of the poet has altered much. The step is less buoyant than it was, the bearing less joyous, the look less elate. The florid man has matured into an exceeding mellowness of dignity. Ripe and rich-looking he always was—exquisitely neat in dress and exquisitely elegant in person—though always animated by a sentiment that saved him from the suspicion of foppery. But he has attained a wonderful completeness of expression. His aspect is that of a bard in the full affluence of his years and the full wealth of his genius. His silvered hair is long and wavy. His beard grows white and thick beneath his chin, looking more like a deep lace ruff than anything else. His voice is melodious as an organ; and his features, handsome as ever, have been touched with new lines by the action of thought and sorrow. His manners are very beautiful to all persons; and he carries about him that indescribable atmosphere that marks the perfectly cultured gentleman. Longfellow has just finished his work of many years—his translation of Dante. No finer version from one language into another has ever been done. Not satisfied with all that his own admirable scholarship, wonderful wealth of diction and perfect taste in rhythm could achieve, he has called in his friends to pass judgment.on his work. Each Wednesday evening through the winter a choice company of scholars and critics have met in the poet's library to hear the divine stanzas read, and to weigh the words as they fell from thepoet's lips. There were Holmes, and Fields, and Lowell, and Norton, and Furness, the artist lately deceased, and such others as the hour might bring. Lowell held the Italian copy, Norton the English translation, Furness a translation in German, and, as the new translator read his passages and paused for criticism or remark, the listeners gave the benefit of their suggestions. Manners may exist without morals, but morals should never be without manners. 18*7. Russia. —The following extract is from a St. Petersburg letter in the Independence one of the Emperor's Beige: " Count L aides-de-camp, was summoned a month ago before a Judge, on the complaint of a tradesman, to whom he neglected to pay a small account. The Count at first refused to appear, but at the third summons, being warned that he risked beingcondemned by default to an imprisonment of two months, he attended before the magistrate and paid the money, saying, He preferred to pay without discussion rather than have anything to do with a tribunal of clodhoppers (in Russian, Kholopkoy Soude).' The Judge arrested him, and sentenced him to a week's imprisonment for contempt of Court.. The Count applied to the Emperor in order to escape this sentence, but his Majesty replied that all he could do for him was to intercede with the Judge lo change the sentence to six weeks' confinement in his own house, which was done, and the Count is now undergoing it. The second affair happened at Moscow. A rich widow, Madame Mazourine, well known from her ostentatious piety, and for the large sums which she spent in building churches and convents, took it into her head to refuse payment of a small debt, and the matter going before the tribunal, an order was ultimately issued to seize her furniture. The police arrived to carry out the sentence, when they found the door fast, and in spite of their .summons in the name of the law it remained unopened. They then attempted"to scale the wall, when the mistress of the house ordered a number of savage dogs to be let loose. Seeing this, the police retired, and Madame Mazourine was summoned to appear before the magistrate, and has been condemned to , ' two months' imprisonment." . 69 By the arrival of the steamship Colorado at San Francisco, from Japan, news of the loss of the whaleship Canton Packet, Captain Fraaer, was received. The wreck occurred on the night of 3d of April. Five seamen, including four llawaiians, were drowned. The following particulars are from the Atta: Loss or the ''Canton Pacikt. '—We have obtained from Capt. Fraser, late in command of the American whaling ship Canton Packet, in tons, the following particulars of her lose: She left Honolulu January 4th, 1867 ; went south as far as the line, whore she took fifty barrels of sperm oil. On the night of the 3d. nearing the island, on her way to Hakodadi, during a heavy northeast gale and snow, in latitude 41 N.. and longitude 141 X., went on shore. The ship became a total wreck, with the loss of five of the crew. The rest, thirtytwo in all, remained on the island for ten days. The Japanese refused to allow tbem to move until the arrival of Mr. Rice, the American Conßul at Hakodadi, who arrived on the Rcenc of the disaster with great difficulty. Through this gentleman's exertions the natives furnished the Captain and his crew with horses and guides. They arrived at Hakodadi perfectly destitute and about naked ; but thanks to the kindness of the foreign residents of Hakodadi, they were well taken care of. Capt. Frasor left Hakodadi as soon as possible, and arrived here last night en the Colorado. The crew are still ut Hakodadi awaiting transportation to Baa Francisco. The vessel belonged to J. H. Bartlclt & Son, of New Bedford, Mass. Of the five sailors that were lost one was James Fairbanks, ot Baltimore, the other four were Hawaiians. - Cook's Monument.—The monument to Captain Cook, which it was proposed to erect at Kaawaloa, wasfinished week before lost. Themagonreturned by the Kilauea on Saturday. The monument is erected as near as possible on the spot where the great navigator met his death, and is built of the lava rock which abounds in the neighborhood, laid up in cement. It is sixteen feet high, and at the base measures eighteen by thirty-six inches, running up to a peak in the form known as the Gambrel or Mansard roof. We understand that plates, with suitable inscriptions for the four sides of the monument, have been ordered from abroad, and when these arrive and are placed in position, we shall probably be enabled to give a more particular description of the Exposition. structure.—idv. An American Triumph at the Paris —A Paris letter in the Boston Journal, dated April 23d, says: The jury on locomotives came to a decision yesterday on the merits of the different machines. The competition is great. England has a large number. France at least a dozen. Austria and Russia have three or four each. The Austrian and French members of the jury took exception to the"America" because it was so light in some of its parts, and also to the amount of polish to the iron work, which they thought was more for show than utility. They claimed that the lightness of some of the machinery was a sacrifice of strength to beauty. But fortunately the English member of the jury is well informed on locomotive engines, and he explained that the railroads in America are of an entirely different construction from European roads; that the country is new, and the roads cheaply built, and the ties subject to displacement from frost; that to ride over rough roads there must be elasticity in the machinery; that American engineers had difficulties to contend with wholly unknown to Europeans; that, taking all things into consideration, the American locomotive was superior to any other in the exhibition. His arguments were so convincing that the other jurors gave way and awarded a gold medal to the"America." This is a great triumph, and it has been achieved through the intelligence and honesty of the English juror. Valuable Portfolio, in Two Volumes.— Count Bismarck recently presented a faithful but poor secretary with a portfolio bound like a book, in which were deposited five thousand thalers. On meeting his secretary next day, the count asked him if he harJl perused the volume. " Yes, your highness," said the secretary, " and I am so captivated by its contents that I am waiting theappearance of the second volume with feelings of the greatest interest." The count smiled, but said nothing. A few days afterward the secretary received a second portfolio, bound and filled like the first, and on the title-page of which was the sentence " This work is complete in two volumes." : The Boston Traveler says the United States engineers are astonished at the result of petroleum burning on the steamer Polos. It is deemed an event of such importance that •it was to be telegraphed to Europe to-dair. The Traveler says ten years from to-day *> coal will be burned in any vessel in use in the world. One hogshead of petroleum will generate as much steam as twenty times the bulk in coals. It will prove of the greatest importance to the Pacific Mail steamers on the China line. A lie may respect all things, but there is no such thing as a small lie. �THE FRIEND, AUtiUST, 70 [From the New York Bailor's Magutine.] THE SAILOR. dark blue Jacket that enfolds the sayor's manly breast, ' <• The Bears more of real honor than the star and ermine veat; The tithe of Mly in his head may wake thelandsman's mirth. Bat Nature proudly owns him as her child of sterling worth." Elixa Cook. ' • There is an air of romance about the life and calling of the sailor—an atmosphere of poetry, which seems to invest the very name with a charm. You have but to mention the word, and troops ofmemories, hosts of associations, marshal themselves before the mind. Toilsome explorations in unknown seas, marvelous discoveries of peoples strange, deeds of noble daring and of hopeless suffering, of shipwreck, and storm and strife ; of hunger and thirst, and nakedness and cold; the foundering craft, the white squall, and the iron-bound lee shore—all press forward for recognition, and all give evidence that the sailor is no mere myth, nor his life all poetry and romance, but one of stern reality—a life of sore vicissitudes and garnished o'er with pain. Yet these very vicissitudes are associated with traits of character that seem to be born of the very circumstances of his wild and roving life. All that is noble, generous, brave and free, has been considered as embodied in his calling. In every land he is spoken of as the jolly tar ; his very excesses are esteemed only as foibles, and his reckless disregard of himself attributed to his generous nature. His devotion to duty, his contempt of danger, his self-sacrificing spirit; his bravery and patriotism in war; his energy and enterprise in times of peace—these have elevated him to an exalted place in the esteem of all people who are capable of ap- preciating his sterling worth. His rollicking good nature and love of fun, his sensitiveness to praise or blame, his open-handed benevolence, and the tenderness of heart that brings the tear to his eye when the tale of suffering is told—all these have served to invest his character with a charm of attractiveness as clearly defined as the halo of glory with which art has adorned the head of pictured saint and Madonna. The sailor is sui generis, a class by himself._ His dress is peculiar. His trim blue jacket and wide flowing pants, and his low shoest, nis tarpaulin hat and loose 'kerchief, exposing the bronzed neck and breast—all fitting so neatly and setting so gracefully on his well-formed person, as to suggest, together with his rolling gait, the unrestrained freedom with which he moves upon his own chosen element, just as nis horny hand and sun-browned visage denote his toil and exposure in foreign climes. His characteristic peculiarities are believed to be the result of his mode of life. Yet is it true that the germ of these traits of character must exist in the boy before they are developed in the man. There are well-authenticated instances of boys going to sea, who were parsimonious and selfish, and ungenerous, who, nevertheless, lost these qualities on being associated with the sea and the ship. The philosophy of this change is not easily discerned. Men have different theories on this subject. One thing is certain—it is not the lazy and listless, the nerveless and the stupid, but the earnest, active and energetic boy that runs away to go to sea. The character of such a boy must be developed by association with 1867. the works of nature in her grandest and in her wildest forms. As men who grow up in mountainous regions become free and brave and liberty-loving, like the Swiss, so these men, by holding converse with nature where she displays her works in all the majesty and beauty of her sublimest proportions, cannot but be affected thereby. Would the reader test this '( Let him go forth with the sailor on his own element. Stand beside him when the topsails and topgallantsails are mast-headed, when the royals are sheeted home, and her white wings are spread to the breeze, and the good ship gathering way runs out into the offing, till the receding'shore astern sinks beneath the hori- zon with the setting sun. Pace with him the deck in his midnight watch. Look up at the concave of boundless blue studded with twinkling stars. Behold the moon, as she mounts the heavens, walking in her brightness, flinging her silvery sheen on the dark blue wave, and paving old ocean with a causeway of light. Now look out on every side, on the limitless expanse; let the eye penetrate to ocean's farthest verge—to that below—descend with him into that dark, damp and cheerless forecastle, where no fire gives out its reviving warmth, and where bed and berth, and chest, with their contents, are alike saturated, and as wet and comfortless as the clothes he has on. What comfort can a man have in such circumstances ? Does not his lot demand, and should he not secure our sincere sympathy ? And what is his condition ashore ? Alas ! his boarding-house is, in many instances, as destitute of comfort as the forecastle he left. And here he becomes too often the victim of the harpies who seek his destruction. He is drugged or poisoned with bad liquor—then Shanghaed. or taken insensible on board another vessel, where some merciless tyrant, perhaps, may force him through the same round of abuse and exposure, and toil, and watching, and vicissitude. Do you wonder that the sailor is reckless ? Is it not a still greater wonder that he does not oftener appear as a criminal before our police courts ? The property entrusted to his care, the interests committed to him, the trusts reposed in him, are all protected and preserved with a generous firmness and an unswerving integline, " Visual Where air and ocean seem to join " rity. Notwithstanding his many temptations until that horizon becomes to you the cir- and his sore abuse, is not this an evidence of cumference of an ever-moving circle, of which his nobleness, his trustworthiness, and his you are the everlasting centre.

But confine not yourself of obligation, we should endeavor, in some to the mere romance, the poetry of his life ; measure, to acknowledge our indebtedness, share with him his perils, participate in his and to repay them—even if with nothing more substantial—at least with our sincere dangers and discomforts.

To realize his vicissitudes fully, you must endure with him wet and cold, sleepless nights, and toilsome days. Lay out with him, in the midst of storm and darkness, on the topsail yard, and share with him in his vain endeavors to gather in the struggling canvas, as it flaps and snaps with the fury of the hurricane, and tears itself from his grasp, while the blinding snow and sleet is beating with merciless fury in his face, and his hands are freezing to the stiffened leach. Then come down with him, when wet to the skin, his strength exhausted, and his blood almost congealed in his veins—comedown, I say, to the deck and hear the brutal curse with which his exertions are rewarded—and witness the dastard blow from the contemptible, cowardly thing that walks the quarter-deck—in the place of a skillful and manly officer—and who vents his ungovernable passion on the man whose noble efforts to accomplish his task an honorable man would respect. And now, when the duties and dangers of the yard and deck,and the insults of his unofficerlike superior are endured, and he turns to go forecastle. A Remarkable Fish.—In a recent lecture by Prof. Agassiz on the aquatic animals of the Amazon, he described one fish, of which he said : " This fish is remarkable for the faculty it enjoys of leaving the water and walking a considerable distance over the Innd. Sometimes it is found three, four and five miles from the water, and specimens have been brought to me which I have left on the ground for a day, and afterwards, when put back into water, they were as lively as if they had not been disturbed. That fish has another peculiarity ; it builds a nest—a large nest, about the size of a man's hat, with a hole leading to the interior, in which it deposits its eggs ; and it is not only capable of creeping on even land, but it can creep on an inclined plane, and I have been told by very trustworthy persons that they are frequently found many feet above the water, on stumps of trees which have fallen down, the trunks of which are so inclined that the fish has reached the branches of the tree, to such a height that the bird and the fish have more than once been brought down by the same shot." There is no justice in sin, and no sin in justice. �Till: FRIEND, ADVERTISEMENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. PLACES OF WORSHIP. BEAMKN'S HETIIKL—Kev. S. C. Damon Chaplain—King street, near the Sailors' Home.

The Annmil llrelm;:, June, 1867. It was a joyful season of old, when the tribes of Israel gathered at their annual festivals. The cordial greetings of old friends; the week of united prayer and praise ; the reciting to each other their mutual experience of the goodness and mercy of their covenant God during their absence, and their joint feasts at the altar of their God, all tended to nurture and mature their mutual love and love of country, so that the leader of secession at the death of Solomon would no otherwise dissolve the union than by abolishing the annual feasts. The two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, who alone continued to keep up the annual meetings, have been so knit together, that the storm of wrath which has for eighteen centuries beat upon them, has not sufficed to dissolve their union. To this day, whether amid the burning sands of Africa or the ice of Siberia—whether under the iron rule of despotism or amid the sons of freedom, the Jews are one, and their aspirations still arise that Jerusalem may again become the praise and the glory of the whole earth. Such a joyful season we have again experienced, sitting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus ; and after hearing the reports from all the stations, we may well unite in thanksgiving and praise. Our meeting has been unusually full. Nearly all the members of our Association have attended, only two of our foreign members being absent. Our venerable patriarch, father Thurston, has not been able to meet with us. Having fought the good fight and kept the faith, he patiently awaits the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give at his appearing. Mr. Lyons, too, is not able to be with us ; yet he, " thoughof faint, is still pursuing." One "our fellow laborers, Rev. John S. Emerson, after having spent thirty-six years of his life in the missionary work, has been HONOLULU, AUGUST I, 1867. called to enter into the joy of his Lord. Let us who remain, remembering the loving kindness of our God in years past, and cheered by nis promise that he will be with us alway, gird up our loins and prosecute our work with fresh vigor and hope. While many of the great nations of the earth have suffered the horrors of war. pestilence and famine, we have enjoyed profound peace, and no general sickness has prevailed; and although there has been an umusual scarcity of food, yet few have suffered seriously from the scarcity except in the town of Honolulu, where during a prevailing epidemic, numbers who were unable to procure sufficient food were unable to grapple with the disease, and fell before it. This scarcity of provisions did not arise from the want of fruitful seasons, but rather from the great abundance of food a little more than a year ago. The small price obtained by those engaged in its cultivation, and the bright prospects of those engaged in the culture of sugar-cane, induced many (o turn their lois into cane-fields, and hence the scarcity that has afflicted the country. A reaction has taken place. The people have been, however, stimulated to great activity in planting, and the rains have been so propitious, that we may reasonably anticipate a season of plenty the coming year. The results of our deliberations on the great subjects we have considered are so fully set forth in the various reports which we have adopted, that we need not here recount them again. Many things have conspired to render our meeting intensely interesting. The arrival of the Morning Star, the examination of the pupils of Oahu College, the Sabbath-school celebration, and the annual sermons on home and foreign missions, have made us feel that it was good to be here, and to desire that our stay might be prolonged on this holy mount. Nor'should we omit to mention our appreciation of the words of cheer addressed to us by Capt. W. Reynolds, of the United States steamship Lackawanna. .(fMStrus, M.21 ducted by the superintendents and teachers. The children are kept waiting at the school house through the tardiness of the teacher; school hours also are short, and the children not properly instructed. Moreover, the schools are not examined often, that the parents, children and teachers may be encouraged in this great work by which the race is blessed. In consequence of this state of things, the children have become careless, while in some places the parents despise the Government day-schools, longing for schools where their children will be properly educated and instructed in the truth, as religious liberty is suppressed in the Government schools. It is encouraging to see parents striving to obtain proper teachers to instruct their children according to their own views; for knowledge and christian sentiments have sprung up and expanded themselves in the hearts of this people. Those who have planted the seeds of Evangelical religion among these Islands, are examples to be had in everlasting remembrance. We have the hope that this good work will increase, and_become a witness of the inefficiency of the Government day-schools, and of the hold which true religion has upon this people.

We have the hope that this good work will go on incKaaing uatil Evangelical religion shall be fully eataWished on these Hawaiian Islands.

We would suggest that a column be added to our annual statistical table, showing the average contribution of each churchmember in each church. The moneys reported by the Hawaiian Missionary Society from 1863 to 1863, together with the receipts of our Board since then, make a total of about $61,000; and this very nearly shows what has been given by our churches for their foreign missions in Micronesia and Marquesas within the last fifteen years since the commencement of our foreign missionary work. About $38,000 of this has been expended on the Marquesas Mission, and about $23,000 on Micronesia, including three or four thousand for incidental expenses. The sum of all moneys reported during the last fifteen years as contributed for religious objects, makes a total of $314,048, and doubtless there are many items never reported, and which it is indeed impossible to report. The year ending May, 1559, reported $26,069, and the total for 1866 was $25,250, which are the two largest annual amounts since the establishment of the Mission. It is very encouraging that the contributions of the churches are, as a whole, kept so nearly at the same figure yearly, notwithstanding the decrease of population, thus indicating a relative increase of benevolence ; and we would call attention to the fact that our Hawaiian churches and our Hawaiian work are now very nearly self-supporting. There are now twenty-seven ordained native pastors, besides ten or more licensed preachers, all of whom are supported from home resources, and by far the greater part of them without any assistance from the general treasury. All the building of churches, and their repair from end to end of the land, is, as it has ever been, accomplished by the churches themselves. The Mission to the Marquesas Islands has from its beginning in 1853, been entirely sustained by the Hawaiian churches, including even the expense of holding communication with it by the Morning Star or otherwise. The Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia have now for three years been entirely sustained by the Hawaiiati Board—not, however, including the expenses of the Morning Star, they being borne to and from Micronesia yearly by grants, averaging perhaps $4,000 yearly, from the American Board, as that Mission was commenced by them, and as they have still several missionaries there, though now under our care. In the matter of publications, we have for ■several years received from the American Board $2,000 ; but this by no means covers all our expenditures in the book department, which are largely met from our incidental fund, and by the sale of publications. The whole educational system of these Islands is, and has for many years been selfsustaining, with but a slight exception or two. The common schools are sustained by the Government, as is also the Seminary at Lahainaluna. The various English day and boarding-schools in sympathy with our work throughout the land, are sustained by private enterprise and the assistance of the Government. The Waialua Female Seminary alone of the institutions in the interest of Evangel- 75 ical religion on these Islands, is directly sus- they entered the schpol, and two have been tained from abroad by grants to us from the married since.

During the year past there have in its columns been put into circulation what is equal to about 3,800,-000 duodecimo pages—making a total of about 4,120,000 pages published and circulated the past year by private enterprise, and in direct harmony with our work. These added to those circulated by our Board, make a total of7,186,800. The Rev. E. W. Clark reports that a Obukaia" (Opukahaia) was " Memoir inofMarch, struck ofT the plates having been most kindly prepared gratuitously by the American Tract Society, New York. Mr. Clark also writes that the plates of the new Bible will be ready in June. We may therefore expect the Bible here by next spring. The second edition of the Hawaiian Bible is exhausted. In 1838, 10,000 copies of the first edition were completed, and in 1843, 10,000 copies of the second edition were published, making 20,000 which have been put into circulation within thirty years. Besides this, no less than 50,000 purely Hawaiian New Testaments, in three different editions, have been put into circulation, and 5,000 Hawaiian-English New Testaments—not including large quantities of separate portions of the Bible. Nothing further is necessary to indicate the character of the Christianity introduced here by the American missionaries. FOBEIGK DEPARTMENT. The new Morning Star left Boston on the 13th of November, and reached Honolulu on the 13th of March, and proves to lie all that can be expected of such a craft. The North Pacific owes a large debt of gratitude to the children of America for this generous gift. She is under the care of our Board, who have continued Capt. H. Bingham as commander. Mlrrooesla. Having no vessel at our command, the PfsU was, last May, chartered to take supplies to all our missionary stations to the west. Capt. Ziegenhirst very Kindly did even more than the charter stipulated for, in accommodating our missionaries, and especially in giving Kanoa and Malta a passage from Butaritari. Yet the results of tha visit at this island show very clearly the advantage and necessity of our having a missionary vessel, for the present at least, to do our missionary work.

He had experienced opposition from certain unexpected quarters, but was by no means discouraged. His wife's health, however, is at times very poor, and it may yet necessitate his return. The Morning Star left Key. D. Kapali and wife on Jaluit November 6th, 1865. By the 30th of December his house was completed. He speaks of having lived under great disadvantages —many of his goods being, in the haste of removal, left at Namarik. The island of Jaluit is much less fruitful than Ebon and Namarik, and is a meeting place for the fleets of canoes of the two chains of the Radack and Ralik Islands, and is desolated by them. Kapali says he has no regular meals from want of food, and that there are few days they are not faint for want of food. Sabliath services have been sustained regularly and Sabbath-school. He has thirty pupils, nineteen of whom have learned to read. On the Ist of April he admitted one woman to the church who had been under his instruction at Fibon. Mr. Snow speaks of the Ralik Island chiefs as passing rapidly away, and of not one of them all is there any reasonable ground to hope that he has been savingly changed. But on the other hand he says: " Of the goodly number of church-members who went north last season with the chiefs, all returned well reported of, both among themselves and by their chiefs. This was an occasion of great joy and thankfulness with us. It was beyond my hopes, far beyond my fears. Two of them went with a part of the fleet to Arno (of the Radack Chain.) They were there one Sabbath, and had religious exercises with the natives. They had such a crowd to hear them, that the more remote ones were unable to hear their voices. The island is very populous antl well supplied with food for a coral island. What I chance for a Hawaiian missionary ! It will be an entering wedge to the most populous part of our group." Will the Hawaiian churches respond to this call ? Gilbert Islands. took passage in the Pfeil from Apaiang for Butaritari. Though Capt. Randall befriended the missionaries in this as in all their previous necessities, and arranged that they might remain with perfect safety, their families were so alarmed, they accepted Capt. Ziegenhirst's offer and went with him to Ebon, leaving all their effects. By an opportunity which presented soon after our learning these events, Capt. Randall was requested to assure the chiefs of Butaritari that we had no intention of abandoning their island, and the missionary property was put under his care. The next trip of the Morning Star will clear up all the clouds, and will doubtless enable us once more to enter this interesting island. At Aimiano and Tarawa no marked progress has yet been made. It is yet seed time. One of those admitted to the church at Apaiang continues consistent and humble. Kapu reports that on Apaiung, supposed to number about three thousand five hundred inhabitants, there had, during the year, been fiftythree deaths to one hundred and forty-two births. Aumai asks permission to return for a visit on account of his health. It would seem that our missionaries are still much troubled by the thievishness of the people. A call for missionaries is spoken of as having come from Nui, of Ellice's Group. 77 California. We have requested the Rev. E. T. Taylor, of California, to act for us in visiting the Hawaiians scattered through California and Oregon, as he may be able, while on his home missionary tours, and have offered to defray any moderate expenses to which he may be subjected in such efforts for the wanderers from Hawaii. On the 23d of May just passed, we assisted John Wind, a Sacramento Indian, in returning to his native land. He came to these Islands in 1850, while only six or seven years olcK in the care of a whita man sometime since deceased. He learned the Hawaiian language, went to the common schools in Kona, Hawaii, and finally joined the church under Rev. J. D. Paris, who has had a watching eye upon him for several years. At his own earnest solicitations, he was sent for three years to the Hilo Boarding-school, and has since then for a time been attending Rev. W. P. Alexander's Theological School at Wniluku. His great desire he says is, to return to tell his kindred of Christ. We have also hopes that he may be of use among the Hawaiians in California. We have given him letters of introduction to christian friends there, and have requested Mr. Taylor to make for him in our behalf whntever small expenditures he may think well to assist him in supporting himself.

The Mission station at Butakitari was taken on the 19th of August, 1865, under very favorable auspices, by Kanoa and Maka. On the 20th of the same month they commenced regular Sabbath services, which they continued till they left. They commenced teaching on the 16thof October, though the number of pupils is not reported. They were much tafriended by a brother of the King, anil by many of the chiefs, and were soon abk lo live in a house of their own. In April and May they built a meeting house 48 feet by 24, and had preached in it six Sabbaths when the Pfcil arrived on the 25ds of June.

We are accordingly glad to learn that his traveling expenses have just been ordered by the Board to be refunded to him, and to be supplied in future. That feature in the report which forces itself more than any other upon our attention, is the large balance of more than $7,000, or more than one-third of the whole sum of receipts or expenditures, which has lain idle in the treasury from the beginning to the end of the year. Although the expenditures have kept pace with the new receipts, the sum of $7,039 32 now remains unexpended in the treasury, of which $1,816 48 belong to the department of foreign missions, while no less than $3,387 52 belong to the general or incidental fund. These two items amount to $5,204. A similar state of the treasury existed at the commencement of the year, and had existed for a year previous, so that it may be regarded as a chronic plethora. This does not appear to your Committee to be a desirable condition of the treasury, since the Lord's funds are entrusted to us to be diligently employed in His service, and not to lie unused. We would not imply that your Board have been deficient in zeal or diligence. On the contrary, there is every evidence of their care, economy, prudence and enterprise in the administration of these funds. It still would seem that your Board have failed to find a satisfactory way of expending all the funds in their charge. But may this not be a ground for suspecting that some modification of general policy is needed, and that an extension of operations should be sought for in a different direction ? If it be said that the large surplus for foreign missions exists because more men have been sought for the foreign field, but cannot be found, may not the truth be that your Board are seeking too much extension of their work in foreign missions, and too little in the home work ? We respectfully suggest that earnest and prayerful inquiry should be made, whether there are not important departments of missionary work in our home field which are languishing and struggling for want of succor; whether some of these operations are not of vital importance to the prosperity and growth of our churches, and to the continued life of the nation, which is to maintain the foreign missionary work, as well as directly necessary to train and prepare laborers for the Lord's vineyard ; and lastly, whether the Lord of the whole vineyard, both of the planted and the implanted portions, has not given some plain indications of peculiar favor towards particular operations in His field, pointing those out as the proper objects for our especial care ? Should we seek an answer to this last inquiry, towards what branch of our operations has the Lord manifested the most signal regard of late, where should we turn but to the very precious and prosperous female boarding-school supported by our Board, and to the one at Makawao whose Principal receives some personal aid from our Board. In both those schools we have been startled nnd rejoiced by seeing a great and pervading work 79 voluntary practice of the Missionaries has been discountenanced. In places whore there are no educated physicians, there has arisen a class of native doctors, who, with a license signed by have undertaken to save the nation. " Kapu," These persons are mostly old men and old women, who have very little education and no knowledge of medicine whatever. Ignorant of the plainest rules of diet and regimen, they arc not even proper nurses of the sick; but depend upon luck and chance, large promises of cure, and their influence with the old heathen gods, whose worship they have in a certain degree to a deplorable extent," revived for the purpose of obtaining an influence over thoir victim. These doctors and doctorosaes finding their practice profitable are now everywhere found proclaiming their own skill, interfering with and opposing the practice of foreign physicians and disseminating false and idolatrous principles among the people. They kill numbers of the King's subjects. Some are killed by neglect, disease is left to its course, while the doctor iThetrusting is to luck and feasting on the hogs, the white cocks, the poi, the awa, which he requires as a condition of cure. Meanwhile he is going on with his incantations.

No where else has God made your benefactions and the labors of our brethren so fruitful as in your female boarding-schools. May not this be the hand of the Lord beckoning you on to extend and enlarge your work in that direction? Is there not also a manifest need for more provision for special education for the youth of the stronger sex, and for that peculiar and fruitful labor upon them which begins in the family school and in early childhood ? Were it in the province ot your Committee to make recommendations of specific action in expending the surplus funds of the Board, we would respectfully suggest first, that the Makawao Female Seminary be established on a substantial basis by the purchase of the house and lands, and the payment of the salary of an assistant teacher; secondly, that the Female Boarding-school at Kawaiahao be liberally supplied with needed buildings and furniture ; and thirdly, that active measures be taken for the establishment of a female boarding-school on Hawaii.

Hospital affords the greatest facilities for the The Committee appointed to report upon the subject of training some of the natives to the medical profession, beg leave to report, That in our opinion the subject is of the greatest importance. It has been too long delayed for the want of any practical plan by which it could be accomplished. In the opinion of your Committee, there is and has been a greater need of native doctors than of native lawyers. The Missionaries have educated thenative pastors, with what success their presence in this assembly testifies. The native lawyers have educated themselves. By having the laws printed to his hand any active educated native could read for himself and in some degree qualify himself to plead on behalf of hut neighbor before the Courts, but the medical profession, has been like a sealed book, or has had no book at all, which is the same thing. Sickness, pain and death are our common lot, but it is not in human nature to suffer without some effort to obtain relief. There was a time when a large proportion of the population applied to the Missionaries for medical aid. The funds of the American Board were largely drawn upon for medicines, and the Missionaries devoted a great deal of time in attendance on the sick, with such skill as they possessed and with great benefit to the people. Subsequently the Hawaiian Government undertook to furnish the Missionaries with medicines for the siok; of late years this source of relief has dried up, and even the _ kina of instruction required, much of which would be in the form of clinical lectures which the pupils should commit to writing. If the trustees of that institution could be induced to undertake the work, there are medical men who might afford valuable aid in preparing simple books and treatises in theHawaiian, which the Board of Education might be willing to have printed for the use of the pupils. Private persons—members of the medical profession—may, perhaps, be found who would take one or two pupils, but the difficulties and expense would oe so great, and the probability of perseverance on the part of the pupils themselves would he so small, that not much can be expected from this souroe. It is desirable, in an enterprise of this nature, that the system should be uniform and persevered in for a term of years, by additions to the stock of Hawaiian medical knowledge and literature, which would be required by thepupils after entering upon thejr practice. There are some persons whose opinions are deserving of the highest consideration,, who would decidedly object to the Licensing of medical pupils who have not had the advantage of an education in the English language, and a course or two of medical lectures in a foreign country, but your Committee are of opinion that however well these may be educated, they would be in the minds of the native population upon a par with foreign physicians, and subject to the same prejudice and opposition from the present native �80 SUPPLEMENT ill THE FRIEND, AUGUST, of great hope, notwithstanding all the gloom in the reports of the last year.

They would also seek for a residence in the towns and populous places as competitors of foreign physicians for the sake of a higher remuneration, which their expensive habits would require for their support.

Catholic Church—one of them being its head ; while the executive officer of the Board—the Inspector General—is intensely opposed to the religious faith of the mass of our people ; nor is it sufficient that denominational interests are said not to be considered in the construction and administration of the Board of Education. If they are not, why this exclusion so invidious, unnecessary and unjust ? There arc no truer friends of the Hawaiian Throno than the American Missionaries who, under God, planted the Churches of Hawaii nci, and who bo largely assisted in establishing here a Constitutional Monarchy; nor are there any more loyal subjects of Kamehamcha Y. than the native ministry and membership of our churches, and the communities in sympathy with them. We therefore exhort all to demand a proper representation in every department bearing on education and religion—a right thatmay certainly be claimed by every Hawaiian citizen. 2. Our ministers and churches, and our whole religious community should demand with inflexible hrninoss that teachers nnd school agents should be men of at least fair moral character. Our rising generation is in too great danger of being fatally corrupted by the example of mcmliers now in places of authority for us to be lukewarm on this point. It is more than ever important that we should require virtue in teachers nnd their coadjutors. No fear of personal consequences should allow any to remain silent under the present awful increase of immorality and crime. 3. In view of the fact that we are obliged to undertake independently the education ofour children, on account of the insufficiency of the Governmental schools, and also because they are so antagonistic to the Hawaiian Evangelical Churches, it isbut simple justice that theprovision of the late School Law be restored, exempting parents from the school tax who provide for the oducationof their children in independent schools. Let this request be pressed in every legitimate mode, till the right of a siillicicnt voice in schools bo granted, or until the taxes be remitted. It is not that we would abandon the idea of common schools supported from the national treasury; but, having been thrust out of our proper and rightful influence in the Common School System, wo owe it to the sacred muse of religion to demand that that influence be restored, or that we he relieved of taxation from a system now made to work mischief to our most precious interests as men and Christians. The Hawaiian Evangelical Association met at Kawaiahao, Honolulu, June 4th, 1867. Key. A. O. Forbes was elected Moderator, and Rev. Messrs. Bicknell and Waiamau, Scribes. The unabridged minutes of the meeting were published in the Kuokoa of June 15 and 22. A summary of business, with the various reports connected with the meeting, will be found in the annual report of the Association in pamphlet form, in the Hawaiian language. This supplement contains the most important and interesting of the reports (o the English reader. There were in uttendance forty-two ordained ministers, twenty-six of whom were Hawaiians; four permanent lay members, former members of the American Mission ; fourteen lay Hawaiian delegates, and five corresponding members. It was voted to observe the first whole week as a week of prayer, and to observe the last Thursday of February, 1867, as a day of prayer for schools. The Association adjourned to meet at Honolulu in June, 1867—the day to be fixed by the Hawaiian Board. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We rejoice to learn from this publication that " Old Williams " is still in a most flourishing condition. The Faculty is composed of ten Professors, besides President Hopkins, who is accounted one of the most able Presidents ; perhaps no one stands higher among the college presidents in the United States. At present there are one hundred and ninety-one under-graduates, and among them we recognize three names belonging to the Islands, viz: among the Seniors, Sanford B. Dole, of Koloa, and William E. Rowell, of Waimea ; and among the Juniors, Oliver P. Emerson, of Waialua, Oahu. Of late years the Islands have sent forward to this institution a number of promising scholars, who have successfully competed with American youth. There is one feature of this catalogue which appears peculiar. We refer to the large number of secret societies organized among the �ander-graduates. There are the fallowing : The " Kappa Alpha," the Sigma Thi,"'the "Chi P«," the "Alpha Delta Phi," the " Delta Psi," the " Delta Kappa Epsiton." Besides these secret societies, there are the "Adelphic Unitm," " Philologian," Philo" (echnian," " Mills' Theological Society," - Williams Art Association," " Williams In"strumental and Glee Club." Among the students there are a number of athletic societies, viz: "Williams College Base Ball Club," " Ironsides Base Ball Club," " Live Oak Base Ball Club," " The Nines of Sixty-nine." Then, too, the young men have their "Glee" clubs, "Chess" clubs, besides several other associations with strange cabalistic devices and mottoes. Really we never read of an institution so remarkably blessed with societies, secret and open, literary and social. Among our professional men on the Islands, Williams College has a large representation : Chief Justice Allen, the Rev. Dr. Smith, the Rev. Mr. Corwin, and several others. We would acknowledge our indebtedness for this catalogue to Messrs. Dole and Rowell. Wailuku Valley, Maui.—lf gifted with either the poet's fancy or the painter's skill, we should certainly try our abilities upon the beauties and sublime scenery of Wailuku Valley. We have often visited the enchanting region, but each successive visit only enhances the richness and beauty of the spot. It is as completely surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills and mountain ridges as was the Happy Valley so beautifully described by Dr. Johnson, and inhabited by Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia. We do not wonder that the good people of Wailuku never think a friend has completed his visit until he has been to a picnic up that valley. We. rejoice to know that our old school-mate, Mr. Bailey, who has so long resided at the mouth of the valley, has become so charmed with the contemplation of the scenery, that he is endeavoring to transfer some of its beauties to the canvas. Already has he executed two large landscape paintings which would do credit to one who had handled the pallet and brush, and sat before his easelfrom his youth. Any one with an eye to the sublime and beautiful may enjoy many a feast as he wanders over the Sandwich Islands. Photographers, painters and sketchers have as yet only taken a bird's eye view of the aatural scenery on these Islands. 81 \m Series, m. 21 The Hawaiian Legislative Assembly convenes to-day in obedience to the following Proclamation: We, Kamehameha V., by the Grace of God, of the Hawaiian Islands, King, Do Proclaim, That it is Our Pleasure, in pursuance ot the provisions of Our Constitution, that the Members of the Legislative Assembly of Our Kingdom, do assemble at tbe Court House, at our Capital of Honolulu, in Extraordinary Session, for such Legislation as may be rendered necessary by a Convention of Reciprocity, with the Government of the United States of America, and to do and perform all such other acts and things as may be suitable and proper thereon, at 12 o'clock M., on Monday, the 2d day of September, A.

The Hawaiian Mission from an Episcopal Stand-Point. American Church Missionary Society Rooms, Na 8 Bible House, New York City, June 1,1867. Rev. 8. B. Treat, Correspondino Secretary A. B. C. F. M. : ) J Reverend and Dear Brother:—You have thought it worth your while to ask me to write out, for publication in the Missionary Herald, the substance of the remarks made by me, in regard to your Mission in the Hawaiian Islands, at tbe recent anniversary meeting in behalf of your Board held in this city. A sense of what was due to you and your work constrained me to speak on that occasion as I did. The same feeling now leads me to comply cheerfully with your re- quest. The results of your Hawaiian Mission are their own best witness, and do not need any vindication from me. But I felt sure when I spoke, as I now feel in writing, that appreciative words from a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church would not be ungrateful to you and your constituency. Loving my own church with an undying affection, 1 count myself most faithful to her character and history when I thus publicly and sincerely congratulate you on the success of your gospel-work in Hawaii nei, and bear an honest testimony about it, as I saw it with mine eyes. 11l health led me, one year ago, to the Hawaiian Islands, and kept me there for four months. The recollections of that visit are very fragrant to me. Ido not, however, recull so much the pleasure of a sojourn under a tropical sky and of a descent into the world's grandest volcanoes, as the rare privilege of seeing for myself, what can be done in half a century, with God's blessing and by missionary zeal, for and with an utterly heathen, atheistic people. As the contioversy growing out of the Reformed Catholic Mission—which is not an undertaking of my own church, but simply of individual members thereof—had filled the very air with conflicting stories, 1 resolved to find out for myself, so far as I could, just what had been done, and what had been left undone, by your missionaries as well as by those of the Roman Catholics and Reformed Catholics. This resolution I sought to carry out in the fear of God, and for my own satisfaction as a Christian mat*, and as an Episcopalian minister. To this end I visited thoroughly the chief islands, nearly every mission station on the whole group, and so far as facilities were given roe, all the religious, educational and social institutions. I attended Sunday and week day services ; made the personal acquaintance of the major part of the missionaries of all creeds ; conversed with persons of many professions and social grades. The deeper I pushed my investigations, the stronger became my conviction that what had been on your part necessarily an experimental work in modern missions, had, under God, proved an eminent success. Every sun-rising brought me new reasons for admiring the power of divine grace which can lift the poor out of the dust and set him among princes. Every sun-setting gave roe fresh cause to bless the Lord for that infinite love which enables us to bring to ourfellow-men such rich blessings' as your missionaries have bestowed upon the Hawaiian race. Here I feel bound to say that I use the phrase " eminent success in a relative, not in an absolute, sense. All has not been accomplished that could have been desired, but more has been done than could have been expected. Less than half a century is too short a time, as missionary annals teach us, to complete the process of Christianizing a heathen people. It has been long enough, in this case, to transfer the whole race from the despotic sway of heathenism to the plastic influences of the gospel; and to mould that race, up to a certain point, after the pattern of Christ. To me it seemed marvelous, that in comparatively so few years, the social, political and religious life of the nation should have undergone so radical and blessed a change as it has. And 1 would not have made this limitation were it not that so many fail to appreciate how far removed heathenism is irom Christianity, and how potent must be the power which induces the abandonment of the one and the embracing of the other. " Looking then at the Kingdom of Hawaii nei as it to-day has its recognized place among the world's national sovereignties, 1 cannot but see in it one of the brightest trophies of the power of the Cross; one of the most gratifying seals set by God upon the labors of his servants; and one of the strongest encouragements to press our missionary enterprises into all lands, and to sound the gospel unto every people. In using these words of warm commendation, I feel that I am exalting what the Lord has done for a people redeemed with his precious blood, rather than what man has done for a once degraded race. Thus far my statements have been very general. It is proper for me to become as particular as your limited space will allow, and to dwell upon some distinct points. (1.) I would write first of your missionaries, because a mission takes its cast from the men who begin and carry it on. I found them to be mostly venerable men, who had in their early manhood chosen as theirbridal tour a voyage to the far-off islands which were best known as the death-place of Cook. Under a prostrating tropical sun, amid the trials and deprivations of an island home, they have toiled for twenty, thirty and fifty years, until their hair has grown gray and their grandchildren have gathered about them. In some cases, the infirmities of age have laid them aside from active labor, but in others their vigor and natural force do not seem to be abated. They have pursued the aim of lheir lives with a tenacity of purpose, with a strength of will, and with courageous heroism which are truly sublime. They won and still retain the respect, confidence, affection and gratitude of the natives. They led these from the darkness of heathen degradation to the brightness of Christian life ; and they still urge to higher attainments the nation whom they have begotten in the Lord. They now enjoy the rare privilege of seeing the fruit of their labors abounding on every side. Moreover, they have impressed themselves upon the Kingdom. In every department of the national life,—civil, religious, social, they have cut deep their mark. That mark is one of which they have no reason to be — ashamed. What of good there is in the nation is due under God, and in the main, to them ; what of evil there is remaining lingers in spite of their unceasing efforts to drive it out. They have been charged with being too zealous to make the Hawaiian race "overrighteous," but never with conniving at their sinfulness. They have made manhood and womanhood possible. They have taught an ignorant, and Christianized a heathen people. They have toiled to make a licentious race virtuous and to supplant drunkenness with sobriety. They have given to the nation a written language, a literature, the Bible and religion,educational and political institutions based upon the Word of God and the rights of men. They brought into a heathen despotism ideas of right and wrong, of justice and truth, of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man ; so that wherever 1 turned, 1 found the impress of the plastic hands of your missionaries. Men who have done such a work are not to be spoken lightly of, nor treated with contempt. They have earned our gratitude and deserve our praise, for what they have accomplished in behalf of one branch of the human family. That they should have made some mistakes was to be expected. That they did not make more and graver ones excites our wonder. That they have erred sometimes in their judgments is simply to repeat the experience of their brethren and fellow-men the world over. That the constant desire of their hearts, and aim of their minds, has been to promote the true interests of, and to exalt the Hawaiian race, no one is bold enough to deny; so that, looking at the fruit of their half century's labor, we are constrained to drop the crown ofhonor upon their heads, as the fathers and mothers of the nation. And we may well bow ourselves before that venerable pioneer missionary (taking him as a representative of his brethren), who yet waits for the divine summons in a Christian kingdom, which he first looked upon, nearly fifty years ago, as a repulsive heathen despotism. 1 may venture a step further in this doubtful province of considering personal character, and recall the old adage, that we must live in the same house with a man before we can thoroughly know him. Now, as there are no hotels in the Hawaiian Islands outside of Honolulu, and as the hospitality of the missionaries to strangers is very great, there are abundant opportunities of knowing intimately the character of the missionaries. 1 was received by them, without having any claim upon them, with affectionate kindness. I sat at their tables, knelt at their family altars, went with them to their Sunday and week-day services, watched their goings-out and comings-in, and saw them gathered together in their Annual Meeting. I found them to be genial Christian gentlemen. Though there were many points of difference between us, our intercourse was harmonious. Though I was full of questions, almost impertinent in some of my inquiries about their work, I soon learned that they had nothing to conceal, and that they courted investigation of what they had done. Had my mind been undecided on all other points,—as it was not,—my confidence and affection would have been won by the cheerful piety of their homes. Whatever the world might say of them, here they were trusted and beloved ; �THE FRIEND.

And why ? Because hereditary passions are fostered by foreigners, many of whom tempt to sin, those whom they condemn as sinners. The natives may, perhaps, be best likened to their volcanoes. In some ofthem the fires of passion rage and break forth in destroying streams. In others, they have spent their force, burst out only spasmodically, and are gradually becoming extinct. Others still are as peaceful as those craters where the fires have gone out, and tke ohias have sprung up and are blooming, and the birds sing sweetly and dwell safely. There are two things which mark the Christian life of the Hawaiians, and are always indicative of health and vigor. The first is foreign missionary zeal, and tbe second is a growing native ministry. Your readers are familiar with the history of the Micronesian and Marquesan Mission ns carried on by Hawaiian missionaries. 1 need here, therefore, enly refer to it as a proof of the vitality ef the religion in the Sandwich Islands. But i *Mst not pass by, as I cannot readily forget, an iaterview which J had with three native pastors, not far from the deathplace of Cook. They told me how the .Lord had dealt with them in bringing them to him ; how he had constrained them to preach his gospel; how greatly they esteemed the privilege of ministering to his people ; and how thankful they were that they resisted tke werldly advantages offered them in other vocations, that they might give themselves wbolly to the service of the sanctuary. They afe but examples of their brethren, who are laboring at many stations with success and fidelity. Here I must stop. 1 have touched only the surface of my suhject, but your space and my time will not allow me to go further. I have said enough to indicate the triumphs of the Cross in Hawaii nei. As the white foatni»g billows ofthe Pacific dashupon the black lava shore of the Islands, so the gospel, as brought in by your missionaries, has roiled over the Kingdom, but has not receded as the surf does. Should I multiply my words, or contrast their efforts with those ef missionaries of other creeds, theirsuccess would be mere apparent and marked. Hawaii nei has become, under your culture, a garden of the Lord. In it are young and tender plants.

Again has it been our privilege to visit and view this greatest of volcanic specimens. It stands without its peer among the craters of the earth. The telescope of Ross makes known that similar craters are to be found upon the moon. Our first visit was on the 25th of June, 1847, and our second on the 29th of July, 1867. We could not discover as twenty years had wrought any material changes, externally or internally, in the crater's appearance. Great, grand, old Haleakala remains in statu quo. A person having once ascended its side and looked into its vast crater, will never forget the impression made upon his mind. The view once daguerreotyped upon the mind will never be effaced so long as memory retains its office. No small amount of the interest derived from our recent visit was the fact that we '• passed quite through " an immense bank of clouds ere reaching the summit. During a short space of time we were under, among, and above the clouds. On reaching the brink of the crater, there was one sensation quite oppressive. We refer to the solemn and pro- found stillness which reigned in those lofty regions. The sun shone with meridian splendor. A quiet pervaded the atmosphere that was painful. There was not heard the hum of an insect or the buzz of a fly. Instead of writing a full description of our present visit, we shall republish some notes from our journal which appeared in the Friend of August 12th, 1847, describing our first visit. We think our readers will be interested in the measurement and statement of facts copied from the United States Exploring Expedition. ofAscenH t aleakala. Editor's Journal—June 2bth, 1847. We started this morning at five o'clock from the Rev. Mr. Green's station, Makawao. Our path ted through fields of fennel, which grows wild and in the most rank luxuriance. I could not but contrast the abundance of this herb with the stinted growth of the same, as it is reared in the flower gardens of the United States. After riding about two hours we had passed the woody region. During the remainder of our ascent only a few tufts of wild grass, with an occasional shrub, were to be seen. Our guide in several instances and we learned pointed to shrubs, that such were «andal-wood. The ascent was extremely tiresome, aJthough the roughness of the way did ns* compel us to dismount from our horses. Ere we reached the summit, the clouds were at our feet, and we looked down upon them. The broad side of the mountain was spread out before us, everywhere strewed with lava rocks, while above us was the clear blue sky, and the sun, whose rays would have been most scorching had we not been favored with a fresh trade-breeze. At 10 o'clock we reached the cave, about two miles from the summit, where we partook of refreshment. Visitors often spend the night at this spot. It certainly did not hold out many attractions, and I have good reasons for believing it already possessed tenants that would sharply contend for occupancy with any way-faring and luckless wight who might find himself there benighted. Their praises have recently been celebrated in doggerel rhyme, and their services recommended to His Majesty by a late visitor on our shores: If the Kins, wants tmops that won't prove skittish.

Another boor's toilsome riding along a zigzag path brought us to the'rim of the enormous crater. The first good view of the immense cavity, many miles in diameter, and thousands of feet deep, richly rewarded us for all our toil and trouble. 1 find the crater thus described in the 4th volume of the United States Exploring Expedition, 254th page: "The crater of Haleakala, if so it may be called, is a deep gorge, open at the north and east, forming a kind of elbow. Tbe bottom of it, as ascertained by the barometer, was 2,783 feet below the summit peak, 2,093 below the wall. Although its sides are steep, yet a descent is practicable at almost any part of it. The inside of the crater was ens tirely bare of vegetation, and from its bottom arose some large hills of scoria and sand ; some of the latter are of an ochre-red color at the summit, with small craters in the centre. All bore'the appearance of volcanic action ; but the natives have no tradition of an eruption. It was said, however, in former times the dread goddess Pele had her habitation here, but was driven out by the sea, and then took up her abode on Hawaii, where she has ever since remained. Can this legend refer to a time when the volcanoes of Maui were in activity ? Of the origin ot the name Mauna Haleakala, or house of the sun, 1 could not obtain any information. Some of the residents thought it might be derived from the sun rising from over it to the people of West Maui, which it does at some seasons of the year." The gentlemen of the Exploring Expedition made the highest peak 10,200feet above the sea, or a few feet less than two miles. The limit line ot wood is 6,500 feet. The crater is at least 8 or 10 miles in diameter, and ft from the centre to either opening. This spacious area contains something like 15 craters of no inconsiderable dimensions, varying from 200 to 600 feet high. As I sat upon the brink of this most stupendous of nature's work, glancing an eye into its profound depths, from whence immense quantities of lava must have issued forth, or extending my vision across the channel, separating Hawaii and Maui, upon tinsnow-capped summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, lost in the clouds, these words of the Psalmist were most forcibly brought to my mind, is man, that thou art " What ? and the son of man, that mindful of him thou visitest him ?

Mighty indeed do the works of Jehovah appear, when viewed from an eminence, like the summit of Haleakala, in a clear day. I wandered along the crater's brink, alternately looking downward into its fiery depths and outward upon the immense ocean of clouds that effectually concenled from my view the mountains of West Maui. While thus gratifying the soul with scenery, vast and sublime, I chanced to espy the fragment of an old newspaper, which proved to be a number of the Episcopal Recorder, published in Philadelphia. Ths date I could not learn, but to my surprise, I found the scrap contained sentiments and remarks not unfitting the spot whither the winds had driven it. The following is a quotation : " He who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meeted out heaven with a span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and hills in a balance. He with whom the nations are as a drop of the bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance ; who taketh up the isles as a very little thing ;' for whom Lebanon is not sufficient to burn," nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering;' He has given them to me. And what have I given in return ? The fragments of my feelings and the mere shreds of the joyous days and peaceful nights He has bestowed on me." Never was I more favorably situated to appreciate the beauty, force and sublimity of such language, paraphrased from that most sublime of old Hebrew poets, Isaiah. I was standing upon one mountain more than 10,000 feet high. At a distance of more than 50 miles, 1 could see the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, vicing in height with the Andes of South America and the Himalaya ofCentral Asia. The prophet and poet, Isaiah, represents the Almighty as weighing the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance. Far away stretched the broad Pacific, " majestical, inimitable, vast," yet Jehovah measureth the waters in the hollow of his hand. " The isles," what are they, and how disposed of ? Them He little thing." But how " taketh up as a very doth Israel's God view the nations ? They as a drop of the bucket, and are counted "asare the small dust of the balance." It is with good reason that the critics regard Isaiah as among the most, if not the most sublime of either uninspired or inspired poets. It might with propriety and truth be tion."

Editor's Table. SfcttMON, by the Pastor, Rev. C. C. Salter, on the Tenth Anniversary of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sunday, April 27th, 1867. This discourse indicates the rapid changes which are taking place throughout the great valley of the Mississippi. It was preached in one of those thriving towns which arc springing up in all parts of the valley. Minneapolis is among the most prosperous of the western or north-western cities. The State of Minnesota is filling up with an enterprising and thrifty population. The city of Minneapolis has already ten churches of various denominations, all of which have been organized within a few years. We never read newspapers from that part of America but it quickens our pulse and causes us to anticipate what America is yet to become, when its boundless prairies and broad acres shall be fully inhabited and cultivated. 85 Makawao Female Seminary.—School examinations on the Sandwich Islands appear to have become a favorite pastime among the people. During the month of June there was a succession in Honolulu, occupying a good part of the whole month. On our arrival at Makawao, almost the first announcement we heard was that an examination of Mr. Green's school was soon to come off. It occurred on the 26th Aug., and took place at the native church, which was suitably decorated with evergreens for the occasion. A fine collation was also prepared for all present, both foreigners and natives. We noticed among the spectators from abroad the Rev. Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Bailey from Wailuku ; the Rev. Messrs. Parker and O. H. Gulick from Oahu, together with several foreign ladies. It was an occasion indicative of that noble work now in progress among Hawaiians—the education of the female portion of the rising generation. This and sister institutions on Oahu and Kauai, are doing a good work for this people. We are glad to learn that the Board of Education extends its fostering care to this Seminary. Most truly do we congratulate the patrons, teachers and pupils of this Seminary in the success which has thus far attended their combined efforts. The Rev. J. Porter Green and wife, Miss Mary Green, Miss Mary Parker, and Miss Johnson, have contributed their personal efforts to carry forward this Seminary during the past year. Under such management success is sure. We are confident many of our readers will be interested in the perusal of the letter addressed by the Rev. F. S. Rising to the Rev. S. B. Treat, one of the Secretaries of the A. B. C. F. M. The visit of Mr. Rising to the Islands will be remembered by many on all the Islands. We never knew a visitor who was more diligent in making inquiries respecting the social, moral, political and religious state of the islanders. During his sojourn he collected a library of books relating to the Islands, and we doubt not that collection of books at No. 3 Bible House, New York, is more full upon the Islands than any Transplanting Trees.—We rejoice that the other collection of books in the United States, good people of Honolulu are somewhat alive except that at the Mission House, Pemberton to the importance of ornamenting their priSquare, Boston. vate residences and public grounds.

LetfrSohipmasE Some of ourreaders are acquainted with Cspt. Wood, of the ship Oracle, which has frequently touched at Honolulu on her trips from San Francisco to China. At last dates the Oracle was in Liverpool, from which city Capt. Wood writes under date of May 31st. He had left the ship. Since my arrival in this country I have had" quite a time traveling to and fro ; went down into Yorkshire to visit the '• tombs of my father's ancestors," and found some very remote cousins, who received me very welcomely, and our comparison of family traditions accorded perfectly, while the last link of proof was afforded me when the girls sang and played and their fathers, accompanied with the violin. I was quite interested in visiting the old church arid examining the ancient records (as fresh as yesterday) of the family marriages and baptisms. My friends spoke good intelligible English, but most of the folks round spoke a language which 1 should judge to resemble most of all the inscriptions on Cleopatra's Needle or the Nineveh bricks. Thence went to London, and taking the Dover train, crossed to Calais and visited some French friends, who by the way were much grieved that I could not attend the theatre with them on Sunday. Went up to Paris and took a hasty survey of the Exposition Universelle, which 1 was foolish and green and ignorant enough to admire, notwithstanding the London Times, and of course its obedient readers, had condemned it as an utterfailure in every respect. Glasgow I often told "my acquaint" Inthat ances I never was in a place that seemed so much a field for missionary effort, and that I would suggest to the good people of the Hawaiian islands that they might well send from their abundance one or two missionaries to preach the gospel and temperance in Scotland, where they preach the gospel versus temperance. Yet I have never seen temperance effort more energetic and persistent than among the small band of Scotch reformers, as you will, I think, believe from the evidence of the operations of the League ; but the church in Scotland, as in England, is the inveterate foe of temperance, and in close alliance with old King Satan in that respect. A leading church newspaper, edited by a leading Scotch divine, lately refused to advertise the publication of a temperance work for -sale—on religious grounds; but it regularly advertises whisky, brandy and beer—on what grounds I don't know. What do you think now of Dr. Norman McLeod, the champion of the church ? I think we are apt to be uncharitable nnd unjust in judging harshly the peccadillos of the Hawaiian Islanders, when we see so much worse in America and Britain, where people have had the light of Christianity so many centuries. • "I almost repented leaving the ship when I saw her sailing away from Cardiff. I should like to makaanother trip to Honolulu. Some of these days I hope to be able to ask you to come and rusticate with me a month in Vallejo. Cannot do so till I get established there myself." Duty to ourselves is the lesson least attended to. Mrs. S., lately a resident at Makawao, on her return to the United States, thus writes us while on board the Golden City, June 30th, 1867, one day out from Panama: " We have on board four missionaries from China: Rev. A. P. Hopper, of Hongkong; Rev. E. C. Lord, E. F. Kingdon and wile (English); Mrs. Holmesand child, of Shanghaej and Rev. S. R. Brown and wife, of Yokohama, Japan. They were eight years in China before going to Japan. Mr. B. built a very nice house in Yokohama a few years ago, which was burnt a week or so be- fore their sailing. They lost thereby some valuable translations. They are taking their daughter home to school, intending to return in a year or so. Mr. B. is not permitted, as you doubtless know, to hold public meetings, but several come to read the Bible with him at his house. He tells me that he is very hopeful of Japan now, and never felt more encouraged. Although the Japanese, individually, are obliged to register their names as belonging to some heathen temple, in order to enjoy the privileges of the land, still they are hopeful the law may be abolished, and that their labors may be carried on more openly. "All the China passengers —some fifty in number—regret not being able to stop at the Islands.and particularly Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who tell me it takes much from the pleasure of the trip, as they have looked forward to visiting you all. on board some shipwrecked " We have : Capt. Richmond, of the Daniel passengers Wood, an account of whose wreck I read in your paper; Capt. Frazer, of the Canton Packet, another wrecked captain ; also Mrs. Capt. Howe, of the Ellen Southard, who is just in from China, her husband having died on the voyage. The vessel had a large number of Chinamen on board. They got short of water, and the mate made a mistake, taking them past San Francisco. There was no getting back ; so after beating about, put into Santa Cruz. She has a long tale to tell, thinking no woman ever had so much trouble, but I think the wife of the master of the Lubra had much more, whose letter you published. This Mrs. Howe reports the lady just referred to as dead. Our China passengers are from the Colorado, and speak very highly of her officers and crew, and of their fare generally, but all so greatly regret not being able to touch at the Islands." A Hebrew Government. —A form of govestablished in 1864 by the Israelites resident in the United States, for the purpose of guarding the.race in America. This organization has been in regular operation ever since its establishment, but so exclusively hsfe its doings been confined to the affairs and circles of those immediately interested, that the public at large hasknown very little of its existence." The business of this government has now grown so important that the executive is about to call for loans, and issue bonds, in the name of the Israelitish government. This organization is intended to co-operate with similar associations in other parts of the world, the grand object being a furtherance of the favorite and traditional Jewish idea, that the whole race of Israelites will be ultimately gathered together ernment was in the land of their forefathers. Then they believe the temple of Jerusalem will be rebuilt, preparatory to the coming of ihe Messiah, to vindicate the truth of the religious belief to which the Jews have adhered tenaciously for so many centuries. The whole number of Jews scattered abroad throughout the world is estimated at six millions.—New York Times. Books for Japan.—We copy the following from a late number of the New York Observer : " The Japanese Commissioners now at Washington have ordered, through the publishers, Messrs. Ivison, Phinney, Blakeman & Co., of this city, the following books, which are to be forwarded immediately for the instruction of the Japanese: 2,300 Webster's school dictionaries; 4,000 Sander's readers and spellers; 10,000 Spencerian copy books; 800 Kerl's English grammars ; 700 D. A. ■Well's scientific text books ; also Prof. Asa Gray's Botanies, Parley's Universal History, Riddle's Astronomy, Hitchcock's Anatomy, Goodison's drawing books, Colton's geographies, etc., etc., making some 20,000 volumes in all. Surely another day is dawning upon the world, in thfcultivation of such relations between two nations once so far apart in every respect." Surely another day has dawned since the month of December, 1850, when John Manjero came to our sanctum, and we consulted together respecting the most feasible plan for him to return to his native country. For ten years he had been an exile, spending most of his absence from Japan with Capt. Whitfield, of Fair Haven, Mass., where he received a good common school education. Without now stating particulars, our plans were successful. John Mangero returned via the Loochoo Islands. Having taken with him a copy of " Bowditch's Navigator," he translated it entire, together with the logarithmic tables, into the Japanese language. A copy of that translation we have now in our possession. (See Friend for June, 1860.) At our latest advices from Japan Manjero was in command of a Government vessel. From the Guano Islands.—On the 14th ultimo arrival the Hawaiian brig Kamehameha V., t'spt. Stone (formerly master of the brig Josephine), 85 days from Baker's Island.

The Sea Chief, before coming to the anchorage, experienced a severe squall from the southwest, by which she lost her fore-topmast, mizen topsail yard, and split her mainsail. Capt. Stone reports all right at the Islands he has visited—no deaths and no sickness of importance. On the passage to Honolulu, in the doldrums," during twenty days the Kamehameha Y. experienced heavy rain squalls from southeast to northeast. When to the leeward of Hawaii, on the night of the 13th inst., Capt Stone was overtaken by a strong kona, with rain, thunder and lightning. This sent him flying on his course, and he madeOahu before daylight <m the morning of the 11th. He brought with him the tail end of the gale—Ail v.

The old " Spectator " in two short years of its existence, acquired a fame and character which the third of a century has not dissipated or obliterated. There is a field for such a publication, and talent sufficient upon the Islands for conducting it. There are a rising continually questions of grave importance, which require more discussion and elucidation than can be afforded in the columns of a weekly paper.- We fondly hope such a publication will call forth a higher order of literary talent among foreign residents upon the Islands.

Both stock by the ship, making occasional excursions, when in port, both in San Fruucisco and the Sandwich Islands, with their feathered friends, but always returned at nightfall to their dove cote on board. Three seasons they passed at the North, experiencing during their travels all the varieties of climate, and seeing more wenders than the doves which voyaged with Noah. On the passage home, when near port, a squab was added to the family, and two days out the mother pigeon was washed overboard and drowned. The surviving parent, however, exercised the maternal care over the young, and both reached New Bedford during May, in safety.—Adn.

At the early age of thirteen .years, 1 ran away from a home hallowed by the presence and prayers of a godly mother. The character, which hitherto had been so carefully and prayerfully trained, I now took into my own hands, to shape nccording to my own unsanctified notions. Although tender in years, yet many were the struggles and chafings of a rebellious heart, already set against that maternal restraint and influence, which in after years were the only guide from a wayward and reckless life. I was dedicated to God from infancy. Through the faith of my mother in the covenant, set apart for the gospel ministry, her prayers and efforts were accordingly directed to this end ; and daily, as she assembled the family around the altar for prayer, would she renew this consecration. But, as I grew up, a deep and secret purpose took possession of my heart, that those vows should never be realized, those prayers never answered. A minister of the gospel I never Mould be ; and to secure this end, I determined never to become a Christian, at least as long as my mother lived. I now began to cast about me, how to accomplish this. The prayers of my mother were getting to be too strong for me; my heart would at times almost give way. The tender earnest pleading, the copious tears, the affectionate appeal, the loving God bless you," with the good-night kiss, "were too much lor my rebellious heart to resist. At times I would be melted into tears, and sob myself to sleep, yet determined never to yield, for, for me, to become a Christian was to become also a minister; and this 1 had vowed never should be. I loved my mother, but hated God and His truth. To deleat my mother's purposes and to secure the success of my own, became now the ruling thought of my life; how to accomplish this was my daily meditation. I was at this time visiting a brother in Connecticut. I thought the time had now come to put into execution a plan which I had been for months maturing. This was to go to sea, and that against the known wishes of my mother and friends. I did go; and Boston was my port of departure. I soon found, however, that escaping from the pretence of my mother was one thing, but �90 TH E FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1867. prayers quite another. take shipagain.

He always made one stipulation with every officer and man whom he shipped ; this was, that they should not swear while on his vessel. If they would not comply with this they could not sail with him. 1 afterward learned that this captain was very successful, making better voyages than many of those who did not observe the Sabbath, and that he was a perfect disciplinarian, all his men loving him. This was the first and only Christian sailor whom I met with during my eight years of seafaring life. We stayed but a short time on board ; and, upon leaving, my captain invited Captain S. to visit our ship on the morrow, if we should be in sight. God, in His providence, meant that this visit should be made, for He had purposes of mercy toward some of us. He sent a dead calm that night, so that in the morning the two ships were in plain sight of each other. Captain S. came on board in the morning, and, a breeze springing up, we sailed in company that day. My position in the ship was such as to give me a place in the cabin, and of course I heard what passed in conversation, although not a party to it. , proMy captain, whose name was H duced his wines and cigars to entertain Captain S., but Captain S. politely yet firmly, refused to indulge in these things, saying it was against his principles. •' Why,'' says Captain H., " what sort of a man are you ? You don't sail your ship on Sunday, you don't drink, you don't swear; how do you manage to enjoy yourself ? Why, I should die if I couldn't have something to drink and plenty of tobacco; and, as for swearing, that is my prerogative. I shipped to do the swearing on this vessel, and I mean to do it." "Well," said Captain S., "I did the same for many years ; but I have seen both the sin and folly of such a course, and am now trying to live a different life." Captain ft. looked at him inquiringly, as much as to say, how did this strange thing happen ? Captain S. continued : " When I sailed from New Bedford, a few years ago, I was a very wicked, cruel man. I shipped as my cabin-boy a lad who was an orphan, and even without family friends, but he was a Sabbath-school scholar; and his teacher came with him to the ship, and saw him comforta- bly provided with those things which.are necessary for so long a voyage as we were about to make. 1 did not like to have anything to do with those canting religionists, and therefore did not want to take the boy at first; but he was very anxious to go, and was withal a very bright, active-looking boy. "Before we sailed, Eddie's teacher brought him a little library of tracts and some singing books ; and, before leaving him for the last time, she took him into his little room (which was in the cabin), and most earnestly commended him to God in prayer, and then charged him to stand up for his Saviour's honor on board the ship. I regretted having taken the boy on board, as I foresaw I was likely to have trouble with him ; but 1 concluded to swear him down. We were out but a few days when I discovered something which annoyed me very much. For several evenings, during the 'dog watch,' I had heard a strange sort of singing forward among the men; and, having occasion to go forward I one evening while they were thus engaged, �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1867. 91 particular.

OCTOBER, 1867. 92 THE FRIEND. OCTOBER 1. I Kin. FiajtAhf eiIslands. rs These beautiful islands are among the most valuable in the broad" Pacific. They were thoroughly explored and surveyed by Wilkes, and the description is to be found in volume Hid. of the United States Exploring Expedition. The situation of these islands is very convenient and important. There are many fine harbors, and easy of access, where ships can even now procure fresh provisions and good water in abundance. They are on the highway from China round Cape Horn, or the Cape of Good Hope, for Australia or for South Ameriea ; while the road to Australia from South America lies close along their western shore. The present King is Thakombau, about 50 years of age. His Majesty thus writes his name, Cakabau. He is a son of Tanoa, so conspicuous during the visit of Wilkes. The islands are divided into seven districts, each having its chief. Two districts do not acknowledge Cakabau's authority. In May last Cakabau was crowned King by foreigners und his chiefs, who are loyal. In 1853, Cakabau and his chiefs renounced cannibalism, plurality of wives, the strangling of widows at their husbands' death, and the clubbing and eating of prisoners. These salutary reforms were brought about under the direct influence of the Wesleyan missionaries, who have been laboring there about thirty years. The islanders have advanced to about that state of Christianity and civilization that prevailed at the Sandwich Islands thirty years ago. From Capt. Stanley, commander of the United States steamship Tuscarora, we have learned some very interesting facts respecting the present state of affairs at those islands. He was sent thither to settle certain claims due Americans from the King. The sum total of the claims (varying from one to ten thousand dollars) amounted to $65,000. Upon examination, these were reduced to $43,564. with interest at six percent. Some he founjl te be exorbitant, and others un- founded. On his arrival, according to an old precedent acknowledged as sound by king, people and foreigners. Capt. Stanley, as the commander of a man-of-war, was appealed to, to sit as umpire, or judge, who should settle difficulties between natives and Americans. According to previously decided cases, his decisions must be final, and without appeal. Acting in this capacity, he adjudicated in many cases brought before him. In one case, for example, an American brought a case against natives for stealing. The case having been heard, he decided that the natives should restore what was stolen, or its value. This was done. When the criminals (there were three of them) were arraigned for sentence, each one was brought in separately and asked what punishment should be given them. One said, "that he should be flogged, but not as much as the others, because he was the oldest of the three. He had lived an honest man, and correction was not so necessary for an old man as for a young man." Another said, " that he ought to be flogged, but not as much as the others, for he wai the youngest, and the custom of Fiji was for young people to be ruled by the old people. He only did what the old man told him." The other said, "he ought to be flogged, but not as much as the other two, for they had rank, and he was only a poor slave." This was a case of special pleading worthy of a Philadelphia lawyer. They were willing to make restitution. Shortly after the natives in turn brought up this same American for whipping a petty chief, who would not work according to agreement. So aggravated were the facts, that the American was fined $750, or one-half of his entire property. In one case the King demurred about carrying out a certain decision, which would put a foreigner in possession of a small island. He was told by Capt. S. that he had power on board his ship to enforce the decision. His Majesty had the good sense to execute the law, or enforce the decision. So much did Capt. Stanley's decisions meet the views of the King and people, that he was made umpire between other foreigners and the native government and people. King Thakombau has gone so far in admitting foreigners to influence him in his government, that a written constitution has been published. It contained an article in favor of slavery, which Capt. Stanley persuaded them to erase. Capt. Stanley, originating from North Carolina, and remaining loyal during the late war, was urgent and bold in his opposition to the principle of slavery among the Fijians. The constitution goes into effect in January next, when every male inhabitant, eighteen years old and upwards, must pay an annual tax ofJive dollars. The American Consul atTiji is Dr. Bower, who figured in Mexico during the Mexican war, while the British Consul, Capt. Jones, lor eminent services during the Crimean war, was promoted from the ranks. These are the only Consuls officiating there. Capt. Stanley speaks favorably of the English Wesleyan missionaries laboring among the people. About one hundred Americans have settled on the islands, and about three hundred foreigners of other nationalities. The islands are favorable for the growth of cotton (Sea Island), sugar and cocoanut oil. Lands are rapidly passing into the hands of foreigners. Deeds registered at either of the Consulates are acknowledged good. All land purchases pay \ per cent, for registering title at the office of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, by the constitution which goes into effect on the first of January next. A gentleman from the State of New York by the name of St. Johns acts as His Majesty's Minister of Foreign Affairs. The King finds it best to act as his own Minister of Finance. He is not particular to report to his chiefs and people tne state of his finances. Ban is the capital. Levuka, island of Ovalau, is the port where the Consuls reside, and where ships discharge and receive cargoes. The rumor is rife'at the islands that some years ago, when the question of the sover- eignty of the islands was about to pass over England, negotiations were stopped in consequence of the Wesleyan Missionary Society's strong opposition to an English Colonial Bishopric. The Wesleyans believed in kings, but not in bishops of the English Church. Capt. Stanley asserts that the only disturbing element at Fiji is an unhappy war, now carried on by the King of Tonga, King George, in which he is striving to conquer the Fijis, wholly or in part. He does not hesitate to say that in his opinion, the missionarirM favor King George's scheme of conquest. The influence of the Wesleyans is all-powerful at the Tonga Islands, having King George at their head. In Capt. S.s opinion, the influence of the Catholic missionaries at both of those groups is very weak, and possesses but little influence. to DEIHealroibmryetd,'sHfaGwi ne se. Many of our readers on glancing at this caption, or heading, will associate Earl of Derby's name with Homer's Iliad, inasmuch as his Lordship has recently published a most excellent translation of that old Greek poem, Homer's Iliad. But the reader will doubtless ask. what have Hawaiian geese to do with either Homer's Iliad or the Earl of Derby I We answer that, after finishing his translation of Homer, he has since published an essay " on the Breeding of the Sandwich Island Goose." This fact we learn from M. Martin's "Catalogue D'ouvmges, relatifs aux lies Hawaii," recently published in Paris. In that publication we find the following entry on psge 75 : " Stanley (Earl of Derby! on the Breeding of the Sandwich Island Goose." (Proceedings of Zoological Society, London. Vol. 11., page 41.) A fact like this is worthy of being published in Disraeli's Curiosities of Literature. The Earl of Derby is well known to be immersed in the current politics of England. He is a leading and prominent politician, vet he finds ample time to publish a most excellent poetical translation of Homer's Iliad, in XXIV. books. It is a translation, in point of literary excellence, far surpassing the celebrated translation of Pope. That was rather a paraphrase, but this is a genuine transla- tion. Now the idea seems (juite strange, and almost unaccountable, that the politician and translator of the Iliad should have found time or possess the inclination to prepare a scientific essay mi " Breeding the Hawaiian Goose." How was he to learn we had any geese meriting the name Haioaiian t Dr. Hillcbriind informs us that we have a species of goose peculiar to those Islands, and found in no other part of the world. He moreover informs us that Douglas, the naturalist, procured and sent to England specimens of Hawaiian geese, which were presented to some nobleman, and for aught we know, the Earl of Derby was the personage. Douglas met a violent death on Hawaii May 12th, 1534. We are not aware as a copy oC this essay is to be found upon the Islands, but we hope ere long to read it. �93 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 18 67. Homer's Iliad and. Hawaiian Legends. The theory of Dr. Rae that the Hawaiian language is an older language than the ancient Greek, vvus received by the generality of newspaper readers with no small amount of incredulity. The celebrated philologist, Max Miiller, is far from treating this idea as unworthy of consideration, as the readers of his second course of lectures are aware. There are many points of similarity between Polynesians and the Greeks in the days of Homer. We refer now to their similar methods of composing songs to be sung or rehearsed in honor of great, heroic and distinguished warriors, kings, giants and demigods, and goddesses. Among classical writers and students it has long been a disputed point, whether the traditionary statement was true that the writings or poems of Homer could have been preserved and handed down for two hundred years and more before they were committed to writing. Many have asserted that this was utterly impossible, for the human memory was inadequate to the Herculean task. The XXIV. books of Homer's Iliad contain in the original Greek 15,668 lines, and the Odyssey nearly as many more. It has been pronounced impossible for poems containing :>0,000 lines to be thus preserved, while it has been thought quite incredible for the original composer to perform the task. This may appear somewhat incredible to modern scholars, surrounded with their text books, lexicons, dictionaries, and numerous other helps. But has not the memory suffered in consequence of these very helps ? As an interesting fact bearing upon this subject, it is well known that prior to the reduction of the Polynesian dialects to written forms and the introduction of printing, there was a vust amount of traditionary lore among the people which had been handed down from generation to generation. Songs or poems of no inconsiderable length were carefully preserved and rehearsed. Recently the Rev. Mr. Andrews informed us that he had copied out one of six hundred lines, and many more were still uncopied. Some months since wc forwarded a large blank book to Mr. Lawson,an Englishman long resident on the Marquesas Islands, who returned it filled with Marquesan legendary and historical songs, or meles. What is true of Hawaiians and Marquessus is still more true of Tnhitians, Samoitns and New Zealanders. The Rev.

Favorable Prospects among Tahitians.The Rev. Mr. Morris thus writes : " I have recently paid visits to some of the most re. mote districts, and found things amongst the natives much better than I expected to find them, especially considering how seldom they have the visits of European missionaries. 1 visited some ten districts. In three they are building, or proposing to build, new places of worship. I was much struck with the fewness of Koman Catholics in these districts. There are not over one hundred in a population ofabout three thousand. For some time past I have hud full liberty to go and preach among the natives." Loss of the. "John Williams."—The Rev. G.

Wurtemburg, with the rest of Southern Germany, has been so fortunate as to keep out of the clutches of Prussia. Hanover, Nassau, Hesse Cassel, and the free city of Frankfort, you know, have been absorbed. The Germans, north and south,are advocates of a united Germany; yet all (except the Prussians proper) dislike the iron rule of Prussia. From Hanover, the King has fled to Vienna, and some of the chief men of Hanover have been seized and taken to Berlin, where they are incarcerated. At Frankfort, one of the wealthiest cities in Germany, there is great dissatisfaction with the increase of taxes. They are nearly double what they were before the war. The young men, '.he best sinew nnd blood of the country, are pressed into the Prussian army.

Masters of whaleships and shipping agents are left in the dark in regard to the views of their owners. Even in the matier of family letters, it is rather trying and perplexing. Truth Told in Jest.—Recently a man called at our office at the Sailor's Home in a state of intoxication. We urged him to reform his habits and sign the pledge. His reply was, " Religion is needed for a man to keep his pledge." Yes, that is the great requisite. It is the one thing needful. It is the pearl of great price. Another man with whom we were conversing at the hospital, admitted that his temper was bad and his disposition not good, but, he added, " the devil will never take away my bad disposition." No, the devil never helped a sinner to give up his heart to God and reform his life. An old divinfe once said, "It was the devil's masterpiece to make a man think well of himself." We should look to God for new hearts. David prayed, " Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." God, not the devil, will create within us new hearts and right dispositions. The Address of W. C. Jones, Esq.—At the meeting of the Temperance Legion, Mr. Jones favored the audience with a poetical address. The subject was "Intemperance, or the Perverted Will." He depicted in glowing language the sad fate of one who had entrusted her earthly happiness to a young man of wealth, fashion and talent, but who, alas, was addicted to strong drink. So much is at stake, we wonder any young woman dare think of marrying a man whose character is not firmly established on the side of total abstinence. Mr, Jones, at some future time, intimates that he will deliver" a sequel" to this address. He also stated that he would hereafter deliver seven addresses upon the various branches of the subject of intemperance. �THE t'RIKMi. NOVEMBER, 1867. 98 Editor's Table. Eni'Mßation or Hawaiian Plants. By Horace Maun. (From the proceedings ol the American Academy of Arte and Sciences. Vol. VII.. September 11.186b.) Issued July, 1867. Cambridge: Welch, Bigelow <fc Co. 18JI7. The first noticeable and note-worthy fact apparent on taking up this pamphlet is this, that from the discovery of these Islands in 1778, botanists have been interested in the Flora of Hawaii. The following paragraphs relating to some of these botanical explorers will be interesting to our readers : During a visit to the Hawaiian Islands, made for the purpose of studying especially the Botany of the Group, and which extended from the 4th of May, 1864, to the 18th of May, 1865, 1 botanized over five of the largest of these islands, and brought together a collection which tonns the basis of the following enumeration. In its preparation I have been permitted to examine the other collections of Hawaiian plants in the Gray Herbarium ; namely, that by the United States South Pacific Exploring Expedition under Commodore Wilkes,—the fullest hitherto made in these islands ; a set of the specimens gathered by Jules Remy under the auspices of the Paris Museum, given by that institution ; some of Macrae's plants, given by the London Horticultural (now Royal Horticultural) Society; and a few of Gaudichaud's, Chamisso's, Douglas's, and Nuttall's. These materials, and all his own memoranda upon them, were freely offered to my use by Professor Gray, without whose friendly encouragement this enumeration would never have been undertaken, and could not have been accomplished. The botanists who have collected at the Hawaiian Islands, so far as known to me, are as follows: David Nelson, who accompanied Captain Cook on his third voyage, and collected at the Islands in 1778-1779. The plants collected by him are stored at the British Museum, and, excepting a few Labiata, have scarcely been examined until recently. Archibald Menzies, a most indefatigable botanist and collector, visited the Islands with Vancouver in 1792, 1793, or 1794, or perhaps in each of these years, and made large and valuable collections, mostly on Hawaii. Sets of his plants are in the Hookerian, Smithian, and Banksian Herbaria. Albert Chamisso accompanied Kotzebue in the voyage of Romanzoff, and collected principally on Oahu, late in each of the years 1816 and 1817. He published notes and descriptions of new species in the Linncea, in conjunction with Schlechtendal. Frederick Eschscholtz was the physician of the expe- dition. Charles Gaudichaud, as botanist of the expedition under Freycinet, in the corvettes Uranit and Physicienne, visited the Islands in August, 1819. He returned to the Islands on the Bonite in 1836. The results of his first expedition were published as the Botanique dv Voyage dc V Uranie, in 1826 (a* on title-page, but really not appearing till 1830,) in 1 vol. 4to, with a folio atlas. Of the collections of the second visit a few plates of Hawaiian plants appeared in a folio atlas (Bat. Voy. Bonite, bearing no date), without descriptions, or any clew to localities. The lower Cryptogams were elaborated and in part figured by the late Dr. Montngne in the same work. James Macrae collected for the London Horticultural Society, in Brazil, Chili, and the Hawaiian Islands, which last he visited in 1825. His specimens were mainly distributed to the herbaria of Bentham, Hooker, Lindley, and Dc Candolle. Messrs. Lay & Collie, who accompanied Captain Beechey during the Voyage of the Blossom, visited the Islands in 1826-1527, and made the collections which formed the basis of the botany of this voyage by Hooker and Arnqjt. Francis Julius Ferdinand Meyen accompanied Captain W. Wendt, on the Prussian vessel Princess Louise,'aml visited these islands in 1831. After his death, descriptions of species collected by him were published as a volume of the Nov. Act. Acad. Cies. Leop.Carol. Nat. Cur., in 1843, here cited as the W. T.

Amer- There is no work connected in any way with Japan or its language that has been published since the opening of the country that we have felt more pleasure in welcoming, than that, the title of which heads this article. It has long been known to many of our readers that Dr. J. C. Hepburn has been engaged for years in collecting materials lor a Japanese dictionary ; and the announcement that we are now able to make, that the work is procurable at Mr. Carroll's, No. 38 Water Street, and that the price is fixed as low as $12, will be received with great satisfaction. It is a very excellent specimen of getting up, in all respects ; and the first part, the Japanese-English portion, comprises 558 pages,—the Japanese words in small capitals. Katakana and in Chinese characters; the second part being " an index of Japanese equivalents for the most common English words." Of the general correctness of the work, we must acknowledge ourselves incompetent to express an opinion ; but should there be any inaccuracies, which is not improbable in a work comprising 20,000 Japanese words, we know they have not crept in for want of, but in spite of the greatest possible care, industry and zealous study. Did we presume to recommend the Dictionary to our readers, we should perform a work of supererogation. It is sufficient to announce its appearance and the place of publication. We most heartily congratulate Dr. Hepburn on the completion of his work; and whilst we feel pretty sure that the sale of it will be such as to repay him for the labor of some of the best years of his life, he will be far more highly remunerated by the consciousness that he has placed within the reach of all students the means of wonderfully facilitating their acquisition of the language, and that his name will ever hereafter be associated in the minds of scholars, with such men as Morrison, Gutzlaff and others who lieliquia: Meyeniana. Horticultural Society ica, closed his most important explorations by a visit to the Hawaiian Islands, which he reached in the last week in the year 1833. He immediately went to Hawaii, where he collected until the 12th of May, when he met a violent death on the flanks ofMauna Kea. His collections are mainly in the herbaria of the Royal Horticultural Society, and of Hooker, Bentham, and Lindley. Barclay was botanist on the Sulphur, commanded by Sir Edward Belcher, and visited the Islands in 1837 or 1839. Rev. John Diell was American Seamen's Chaplain at Honolulu, and sent small collections to Prof. Asa Gray, which he communi- cated to Sir W. J. Hooker. W. D. Brackenridge and Charles Pickering made almost all the botanical collections on the United States South Pacific Exploring Expedition, under command of Charles Wilkes, at least those at the Hawaiian Islands, which were visited in 1840. The Polypetala? were published in full in the Botany of the Expedition by Gray, who has also published new species of Monopetalas in Vols. IV., Y. and VI. of the Proceedings of this Academy. But few of the Apetals have yet been noticed. The Ferns, by Brackenridge, were published as a separate volume of the Botany of the Expedition ; but nearly the whole of the edition was destroyed by fire Another partially published volume comprises the Mosses by Sullivant, the Lichens by Tuckerman, and the Alga 3by the late Professors Bailey and Harvey. Nuttall visited the Islands in 1835, from the Northwest Coast, and made a small collection. Most of his specimens are in the Hookerian Herbarium; a few probably in that of the Philadelphia Academy. He published notes and descriptions of some Hawaiian Composite, Lobeliacea and Vaccinieee in the Transactions of the American Philosophical Society. Jules Remy went to the Islands under the auspices of the Paris Museum, and made a fine collection in the years 1851-1855. William Hillebrand, a physician resident in Honolulu, has recently sent interesting collections to Kew, among them a new genus of Begoniacea, which Professor Oliver has named after its discoverer. lection. Mr. Mann has enumerated in his catalogue 667 different species of plants, under the various genera well known to botanists. A portion of this document is occupied with minute descriptions of Hawaiian Lichens, by Edward Tuckerman. To all scientific persons this work of Mr. Mann will prove interesting. We suppose that very soon Mr. Brigham will publish the results of explorations in another department of natural history. Geology, we believe, was Mr. Brigham's speciality. Hepburn's Japanese and English Dictionary. have labored similarly. The object of Dr. Hepburn, however, is but half obtained. He commenced this work, not merely and solely to place a dictionary in the hands of his countryman and others who would study Japanese, but as a preliminary to his own thorough mastery of the language that he might do his great Master's work as a missionary, by lending his aid in the translation of the Scriptures into Japan- �99 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1867. In this great work he is engaging with all his fellow laborers in the American mission field in Japan; and as we witness the self-denial, the devotedness and unobtrusiveness with which they nre carrying on their most laborious occupation, we cannot but bid them God speed, and hope that their success may be evident in the day when their Master maketh up his jewels, when they may see many of those for whose admission into the fold they are laboring, and when they may hear the sweetest voice that ever spoke welcome them in the sweetest words that shall ever be spoken : " Well done good and faithful servants."— Japan Herald. ese. Paris Exposition. Hliiiklduki., Germany, August, 1867, Mr. Editor :—You ask me to describe the great Paris Exposition but by this time your readers have doubtless seen so many descriptions of it, that another would be useless. I use the adjective great. It is truly a great exhibition of the arts and industries of the world. As to magnitude and eclat, it is all, and even more than I expected. Little Hawaii is very honorably represented. Two nice rooms, near the American department, are devoted to Hawaii. Here are found exhibited with excellent taste, specimens of ; Hawaiian products. The departments in the Exposition are so arranged that one can study the products of each nation separately, or he can run through any line of product, comparing that of each nation with the other. For instance in the Art Galleries. If you wish to study British or French or any other nation's art, you may confine yourself to that particular nation ; but if you wish to make a comparison of the paintings of all the nations, you pass straight on. After a very long time, having gone around the entire building, you return to your starting point. 1 found it very interesting to compare different nations in this way. I could trace well-known national characteristics, for instance in the single matter of coloring. Going through again 1 would test national differences in the item of Jinis/i ; and so on indefinitely. To visit the Exposition is work. The display is overmost whelming in its variety and extent. One thing was made quite evident, viz : that the different nations of the earth supplement each other. One cannot claim all excellence. Differences of climate, of habits, Sec., make differences of product. The Exposition is fitted to teach impressively the natural fraternity of nations. From Paris I passed through Belgium to Holland, stopping at Brussels and Antwerp. Antwerp is surrounded with treasures of art, particularly Flemish art. From Brussels we made au excursion to the battle-field of Waterloo. Belgium is becoming moderately prosperous now under King Leopold. Antwerp is rapidly growing to Tie a great commercial city again, as she was in the middle ages. The condition of the peasantry in Belgium is lamentable. The poor ore very poor. Even the industrious peasants who have health and hope to gird them for toil, are in very poor condition.

As to intellectual is sad. I have often seen women toiling in the fields. I have even seen them harnessed to canal-boats and doing a horse's work. Indeed, it is not uncommon. Women act as sailors on the coasting vessels. Nearly always a woman is at the helm. Women do most of the peddling of vegetables, milk, &c, in the Dutch cities. They push along great heavily loaded carts, with only the assistance of a couple of panting dogs. Holland and Belgium are too small to keep up separate establishments in Europe. The expenses of government, the elaborate and costly fortifications necessary, are more than they can bear. Then, too, the soil in these flat countries is not fertile. Much of Holland is sand. Most o( it is but swamp land, threatened by overflow almost at any moment. One must admire the sturdy Hollander who works so bravely for such slender results. From Holland the journey up the Rhine is Historical memories cluster thickly about the Rhine all the way from Cologne up to Switzerland. Then the scenery is attractive. One sees many feudal castles—most of them in ruins—perching upon the crags bordering the Rhine. Drachenfels, Stotzenfels, Marksburg, Gutenfels, Sec., are very picturesque. In the old fortress of Marksburg I saw dungeons cut into the living rock, into which prisoners used to be lowered by a windlass. This is one of the largest and best preserved of the feudal fortresses on the Rhine. I visited it alone. The solitariness and gloom were terrible. Let those who admire the feudal age, and wish its return, visit some of these old casvery interesting. tles. The other day I passed the spot where Caesar built his celebrated bridge across the Rhine. The river is very rapid, and it was a difficult work. Still, 1 doubt whether it cost Caesar's engineers as much trouble to construct the bridge as it costs some young Latin scholars to translate the account of it in the Commentaries. Heidelburg is a delightful place. Here is one of the oldest Universities in Germany. In the library of the University there is a large and valuable collection of MS. Among the rest I noticed MS. of Thucidides and Plutarch. Here also may be seen several works of Luther in his own rapid, intense Sort of handwriting. The old castle at Heidelburg is a magnificent and mighty ruin. No castle which 1 have yet seen gives such an impression of might. I hope it will long remain to testify to remote ages concerning the manners of feudal limes. In Heidelburg is the old church to the doors of which Jerome of Prague affixed his J- A.

She parted from them, and united herself with the people of God ; and that hymn fell out of the griefand wounds of her heart. If she had died and only written that hymn, she might have taken her place among the honored names of history ; and she will have done more work by those few sweet verses than she could have done if she had stood a queen at the very top of government."—[Extract from a sermon of Rev.

NOVEMBER 1, Rev. Mr. Ellis —Interesting letters have recently been received from this veteran in the csuse of Foreign Missions, who now resides at Hoddesdon, Herts, in England. " I am," he writes under date of August 28. 1867, " now closely occupied in completing the history of the London Missionary Society." Probably no man is better fitted to write the history of that noble Society which first sent missionaries into the Pacific, and for seventy years has been vigorously prosecuting the foreign missionary work in various parts of the heathen world. a The "Advance."—This is the name of new, spirited, first-class and eight-paged weekly newspaper, published under the aus- pices of the Congregationalists of Chicago.

We all knelt around the dead body, the first officer offering prayer. Without, it was a dark and stormy night, the ship laboring heavy in the sea, the wind howling through the rigging, and every now and then the sea brraking on deck—all helped to add to the awful solemnity of the occasion, and a solemn awe seemed to rest upon us all. I believe few that were there can ever forget that praycr- A Solemn Prayer-meeting, at Midnight, was. there, in Mid-Ocaan. While sailing on the ocean from port to port, and traveling on land from place to place, it has been my privilege to attend many religious meetings ; but of all, I never found any of equal solemnity to the one an account of which I will now relate. In February, 1860, the good ship Mary Ogden, Captain Loveland, sailed from Antwerp for New York. Among those on board was a man who the year before had been second officer of the ship, but now was sent home an invalid by the American Consul. He was one who, by Capt. L„ had often been warned of his sinful course ol life, and entreated to turn and live. All the counsel was unheeded, and on he went in rebellion against God; but God can make the wrath of man to praise llim. On [he first part of the passage he was indifferent about his soul's salvation, and thought only of the sinful enjoyment he would have on his arrival ih port. But how true are the words of the poet: unbelief is sure to err, " Blind And scan His work in vain ; God ia His own interpreter, And he will make it plain." How often are man's plans turned by the Di- vine hand, and it was so in his case. As we proceeded on our passage he became more and more restless and uneasy in his mind, fearing that death might overtake him before his nrrival in port. Truly it is said, " the prayers of a righteous man availeth much"—and if two agree on one thing, and pray in faith for the same, it shall be granted. Mrs. Loveland, wife of the master, a truly pious lady, was with us on the voyage, and, with her nusband, often in secret called upon the Lord to bless their labors in the conversion of this man ; and although God did not immediately answer their prayers yet they still continued to hold fast to His promise. We commenced to experience very rough weather, and David (for that was his name) apparently grew weaker from day to day. Often, with others, I visited him, and endeavored to persuade him to seek the salvation of his soul. Gradually he became convinced that he was a great sinner, and soon it could be said of him, " Behold he prayeth." He sought, with all his heart, the mercy of God, and as the answer to prayer did not come immediately, he began to think he had sinned away his day of grace ; but while on the borders of despair, he met with the blessed words of the Lord Jesus, where He declared, "All things are possible to him that believeth." I do not remember passing by him from the day of his conviction of sin until he was 100 feeble to speak, but he would ask me to pray for him. On the evening of his death, the Captain, with several of the crew, held a prayer-meeting in his room. At the close, he was urged to believe, and to trust wholly in an all-sufficient Savicur, and was left to reflect. His faith grew stronger and stronger ; —at lIP. M., he cried out, "I am ready—God has forgiven me all my sins;" and for an hour, as he lay on the brink of death, he kept speaking of the goodness of God in receiving sinner,.

A Terrible Bedfellow. —I looked at my neighbor with considerable curiosity. His lace indicated a man of not over thirty years— a period at which men are still young —but his hair was as white as fresh-fullen snow. One seldom sees, even on the heads of the oldest men, hair of such immaculate whiteness. He sat by my side in a car of the Great Western Railroad, in Canada, and was looking out of the window. Suddenly turning his head, he caught me in the act of staring at him —a rudeness of which 1 was ashamed. I was about to say words of apology, when he quietly remarked : sir. I'm used to it." " Don't mentionofit,this observation plensed The frankness me, and in a very little while we were conversing on terms of familiar acquaintanceship, and before long he told me the whole story. was a soldier in the army of India," " and, as is often the case with soldiers, 1 was a little too fond of liquor. One day I got drunk, and was shut up in the black hole for it. I slumped down upon the floor of the dungeon, and 1 was just dropping otT to sleep, when I felt a cold, slimy shape crawling across my right hand as it lay stretchofl out above my head on the floor. 1 knew at once what it was—a snake ! Of course my first impulse was to draw away my hand; but knowing that if I did so the poisonous reptile would probably strike its fangs into me, 1 lay still, with my heart beating in my breast like a trip hammer. Of course, my fright sobered me instantly. 1 realized all my peril in its fullest extent. Oh, how 1 lamented the hour that I had touched the liquor In every glass of liquor there is a serpeut; but it does not come to everybody in the shape it came to me. With a slow, undulating motion the reptile dragged its carcass across my face, inch by inch, and crept down over my breast and thirust its head inside my jacket. As I felt the hideous scraping of the slimy body over my cheeks, it was only by the most tremendous effort that I succeeded in restraining myself from yelling loudly with mingled terror and dis- "I said he, ! gust. At last I felt the tail wriggling down toward my chin ; but imagine what 1 felt at my heari, if you can imagine it, as 1 realized that the dreadful creature had coiled itself up under my jacket as I lay, and haa seemingly gone to sleep, for it was still as death. Evidently it had no idea that I was a human ; if it had it would not have acted in that way. All snakes are cowardly, and they will not approach a man unless to strike him in self-defense. Three hours I lay with that dreadful weight in my bosom, and each minute was like an hour to me—like a year. 1 seemed to have lived a life-lime in that brief space. of my life passed through my memory in rapid succession, as they say is the case with a drowning man. I thought of uvy mother, away in old England ;my happy home by the Avon ; my Mary, the girl I loved, and never expected to see them more. For no matter how long J bore this, I felt that it would end in death at last. I lay as rigid as a corpse, scarcely daring even to breathe, and all the while my breast was growing colder and colder wh#re the snake was lying against it, with nothing but a thin cotton shirt between my skin and its. I knew that if I stirred it would strike, but 1 could not bear this much longer. Even if I succeeded in lying still until the guard came, I expected his opening the door and coming in would be my death warrant all the same; for no doubt the reptile would seethat I was it man as soon as the light was let in at the door. At last I heard footsteps approaching. There was a rattling at the lock. It was the guard. He opened the door. The snake—a cobra di capello I now saw—darted up its huge hooded head, with the hideous rings around its eyes, as if about to strike. I shut my eyes and murmured a prayer. Then it glided away with a swift motion and disappeared in the darkness. I staggered to my feet and fell swooning in the arms of the guard. For weeks after 1 was very sick, and when I was able to be about I found my hair was white as you now see it. I have not touched a drop of liquor since." creature Great Voyare.—Ship Nortern Light, Capt. Clough, arrived home at this port Monday afternoon, -ifter an absence of thirty-two months in the Pacific and Arctic oceans, having taken during the voyage 1,350 bnrrrls sperm oil, 850 barrels whale oil, and 13,500 pounds whalebone.

End of a Quarter of a Century of Editorial Labor. number closes another year and With this volume of The Friend. We commenced editing and publishing this paper in January, 1843. It has appeared either monthly or semi-monthly ever since, with the exception of one year, 1851, while the editor was absent in the United States. About half a million of copies have been scattered abroad. A( first we had no intention or plan of issuing a newspaper or monthly periodical. At the commencement of our labors, we had no competitor in the field gathering up items of news for the public. At that time the broad Pacific was almost an unknown part of the world, except to mariners and missionaries. " The Star of Empire " tending westward, appeared above the Rocky Mounhad and the United States held England tains. common, California was under Oregon in Mexican sway, and the United States Exploring Expedition, under Wilkes, was on its return homeward. It was our privilege to arrive at the Islands at a most interesting era in their history, and at a most important time in the history of the commerce of the Pacific. The columns of the Friend will show that we have improved the opportunity offered for gathering up facts, items and incidents connected with the progress of ship- {©toStritf, ttol. 24. HONOLULU.

" Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report," have found a place in our columns. Our object has not only been to furnish matter of ephemeral interest, but such as would prove useful and entertaining when bound in book-form. The constant and steady demand for bound back volumes shows that we have been successful to a certain degree. Only recently we received an order from London to send forward numbers which wouldcomplete a full file of the Friend preserved in the British Museum. Back volumes are constantly called for by shipmasters cruising in the Pacific. One shipmaster has remarked, that what " Horsburgh " is for the navigator in the Indian Ocean, the Friend is for the Pacific. Very frequently shipmasters have said to us that the information published in this paper has saved their ships from wreck. Thousands of seamen have testified to the delight which they have derived from the perusal of this paper during their long and wearisome voyages. This fact, more than any other, has cheered us to labor on in this work. In order that the usefulness of the Friend might be extensive among seamen, it has always been our rule to distribute gratuitously. Of each number, we have given away more than we have sold ; indeed, it has been only in this way that the paper has been supported. In reply to the oft-repeated question, " How is your paper supported ? " we have replied, " By giving away." It has ever been a source of joy to us that from our subscription list and donations, we have always been enabled promptly to pay gratulation. We would now thank all those who have by their money, advice and literary contributions aided in its support. While now writing upon the same desk, and seated in the same sanctum where we wrote our first editorial twenty-five years ago, a feeling of devout gratitude comes over the mind. The great outward world appears to be full of change and revolution, while, " Fixed to our post, the rolling years move on." We know it cannot always be so. What a day or year may bring forth, we know not. While closing this quarter of a century of editorial labor, we hope to enter upon another with a strong will and resolute purpose, firmly resolved manfully to perform whatever the Great Master may have for us to do, until He shall call us to some other field of labor on earth, or to his Home above. in the Bethel, and VolunSupport.—Just twenty years ago, ex- Free Seats tary tensive repairs were made upon the Chapel, amounting to 53.000. It was then proposed to rent a portion of the seats annually to defray the expenses, and afterwards meet incidental outlays. A committee of shipmasters addressed the Chaplain a letter of remonstrance, signed by 16 of their number. Among them were Captains Arthur Cox, John P. Rice, C. W. Gelett, P. S. Wilcox, and others well known. Documents relating to this subject will be fqund in the Friend of December 2d. 1847. That movement of shipmasters, it will appear, compel* the Chaplain to rely upon voluntary contributions for all repairs and incidental expenses connected with the support of the Bethel. We hope our sea-faring hearers, visitors and others will remember this fact when they are called upon for contributions. Subscribers in the United States can remittances make for the amount of their subscriptions in United States postage stainpa. �THE FRIEND. DECEMBER, 1867. 106 For tho Friend.

His return to the female was always accompanied with great hurry and clamor, and much gesticulation up and down of his head, but not of the wings. Three other eggs followed on the 7th, 9th and 11th of March. The eggs were white and very large in proportion to the size of the bird, being, I should imagine, equal to those of the ' Swan Goose.' The goose also surprised us by the rapidity of her operations, for we were hardly aware of the fourth egg having been laid that morning, when it was evident she had begun to sit. During the whole period of incubation there could not be a more attentive nurse, and indeed she could not well help it, for the male, if she seemed inclined to stay out longer than he thought right, appeared by his motions, to be bent on driving her back, nor was he satisfied till he had accomplished his object, when he again resumed his usual position, with his body I famish you herewith the article by the Earl of Derby, published in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society, London, 1534, to which you referred in yourissue of Oct. 1. In hi* younger days, the present Earl was an ardent lover and munificent patron of the natural sciences. He brought together at Knowsley Psrk the largest collection of living animals ever made by a private person. He was also one of the founders, and if I mistake not, the first President of the Zoological Society of London. A portion of his collection formed the nucleus of the " Derby Museum " of Liverpool, to which has been added a " Free Library ; " for the accommodation of which, Mr. Brown, M. P., erected a building, a few years since, at his own private expense, costing about $150,000.

Little is known as regards the birds of our Islands, and I might add as to all branches of our natural history, notwithstanding tbe number of scientific gentlemen who have visited us. From their isolated position, our Islands are found inhabited by many species peculiar to them. No systematic collections have ever been made here. It is not only a mere enumeraiion of species that is required, but their distribution and variation over the several islands of the group, and theiraffinity with those inhabiting other parts of Polynesia and the continent. Many years must elnpse, however, before a complete exploration of oht Islands can be afforded. W. H. P. How to Become a Millionaire. John McDonough, the millionaire of New Orleans, has engraved upon his tomb a series of maxims he had prescribed as the rule for his guidance through life, and to which his success in business is mainly attributed. They contain so much wisdom that we copy them : Rules for the Guidance of my Life, 1804.— Remember always that labor is one of the conditions of our existence. Time is gold ; throw not one minute away, but place each one to account. Do unto all men as you would be done by. Never put off" till tomorrow what can be done to-day. Never bid another do what you can do yourself. Never covet what is not your own. Never think any matter so trifling as not to deserve notice. Never give that which does not first come in. Never spend but to produce. Let the greatest order regulate the transactions of your life. Study in your course of life to do the greatest amount of good. Deprive yourself of nothing necessary to your comfort, but live in an honorable simplicity. Labor, then, to the last moment of your existence. Pursue strictly the above rules and the Divine blessing and riches of every kind will flow upon you to your heart's content, but first of all remember that the chief and great duty of your life should be to tend, by all means in your power, to the honor and glory of our Divine Creator. The conclusion to which I have arrived is, that without temperance there is no health, without virtue no order, without religion no happiness, and that the aim of our being is to live wisely, soberly and righteously. Jno. McDonough. Mr. McDonough might have known how to make a million, but he did not know how to dispose of it when made. His large property was left to poor relatives, public charities and city corporations, and for twenty years has been the constant source of legal prosecutions. When will rich men learn to become the executors of their own charities ? They will screw, turn, pinch and worry to make money, and their heirs and executors will screw, turn, pinch and worry to spend it. �107 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1861. J. B. Gough, the Temperance Lecturer. It is rumored that the celebrated orator, John B. Gough, has been engaged to deliver a series of lectures in Chicago this winter, for which he is to receive the handsome sum of $12,000. In this connection it may not be out of place to append the following story which is related by the Rev. T. L. Cuyler of Mr. Gough: On a certain Sabbath evening, some twenty years ago, a reckless, ill-dressed young man was idly lounging under the elm trees in the public square of Worcester. He had become a wretched waif on the current of sin. His days were spent in the waking remorse of the drunkard ; his nights were passed in the buffooneries of the ale house. As he sauntered along—out of humor with himself and with all mankind—a kind voice saluted him. A stranger laid his hand upon his shoulder, and said, in cordial tones, "Mr. G ,go down to our meeting at the town hall to-night." A briefconversation followed t,o winning in its character, that the reckless youth consented to go. He went; he heard the appeals there made. With tremulous hand he signed the pledge of total abstinence. By God's help he kept it, and keeps it yet. The poor boot-crimper who tapped him on the shoulder, (good Joel Stratton,) has gone to heaven. But the youth he saved is to-day the foremost of reform on the face of the globe. Methinks when 1 listen to the thunders of applause that greet John B. Gough, on the platform of Exeter Hall or the Academy of Music, I am hearing the echo of that tap on the shoulder, and of that kind invitation under the ancient elms of Worcester! He that winneth souls is imse. The Czar has recently abolished a strange custom. The cure of souls in Russia has for centuries been hereditary. The son of a pftest becomes a priest, or if he has only daughters, the eldest conveys the parish to her husband. Of course the priest is as little of a pastor as is well possible, but he is much linked with the peasantry, and the Government, to improve the character and diminish the popularity of the priesthood, have abolished its hereditary character. Henceforward the best candidate is to be appointed, which, as nobody ever takes the office voluntarily, is a satisfactory reform. " Fur lh« Friend. For the Frteod.

The American clipper ship Othello, on her passage from Snn Francisco to Liverpool with a cargo of wheat, sprung a leak near the line. Under all the circumstances, Capt. Tinkham concluded that with fair winds he might reach Honolulu, but it was doubtful whether he could have reached Valparaiso, the other port which he thought of visiting. He had never visited Honolulu, and was very doubtful whether his ship could be repaired. The vessel was discharged, hove down, and thoroughly repaired. When the vessel was nearly ready for sea, we chanced to meet the master alongside, and knowing that he had been subjected to very heavy expenses, wo naturally expected a good-natured groicl, at least, respecting Honolulu merchants, shipwrights and people in general. To our utter surprise, Capt. Tinkham remarked nearly as follows : "1 could not have had my repairs done cheaper or better in any other port in the world. I have been all over the world, but was never treated better than in Honolulu. To be sure my repairs will cost me about $20,000, but they have been thorough. I consider Daniel Foster one of the very best shipwrights, and his men have all worked well and more hours than they would have done in San Francisco. lam perfectly satisfied. I expected on my arrival to have been detained ninety days, and I shall get away in sixty days." Testimony like this we thought worthy of being put upon record. Similar testimony have we heard from other shipmasters who have been compelled to visit Honolulu for repairs. We recollect the master of the Arno made similar remarks when he came hither from the guano islands. It is the general opinion of the masters of whaleships that when compelled to make repairs, they are as well treated by Mr. Foster and.Mr. Erames as they would be at any shipyards in any other port in the world. We have received a letter from an old sea-faring acquaintance, whom we have long known as one of the most respectable and rising young men in his profession. He left Honolulu a few months ngo to visit his friends and get married. He has written us an account of the marriage, and requested that we will insert a marriage notice in the Friend. We would gladly do so, but alas, sailor-like,' he has omitted to give us the name of the young bride. The happy couple do not reside a hundred miles from West Falmouth, Mass. We would return our thanks to J. o. Carter, Esq., who has solicited subscriptions among shipmaster* for repairs upon the "A Wobd Fitly Spoken."—At a late meeting of the Honolulu Temperance Legion, Mr. Haddon, belonging to the whaleship Corinthian, made some encouraging remarks. After delivering an appropriate address, he related a chapter of his own personal experience, which most admirably illustrated and confirmed what he had previously said. Some ten or twelve years ngo, when bound around Cape Horn, he was in a whaleship which, being disabled, was compellel to return for repairs to the Falkland Islands. There he indulged so freely in the use of intoxicating liquors, that a severe fit of sickness was the result. The master of the ship, Capt. Norton, was accompanied by his wife. She was kind, and accompanied her kind attentions with words of good counsel. She obtained such influence over him, that at the next port (in Chile) atwhich they touched, he abstained teetotally. A new era in the young man's life now commenced. Ever since that time he has proved himself ■ strictly temperance man. He is now an honored member of the " Sons of Temperance " in Boston. More than that, he is married and well settled in life. "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." We hope good Mrs. Norton and other captains' wives may be encouraged on the proper occasion to speak a kind and " fit " word. Such words may be " winged" with a reforming power. It is by no means an uncommon thing for us to hear sailors speak of the kind words and kind deeds of the captain's wife. We wish every shipmaster in the Pacific was accompanied by his wife.

C.J. Lyons, Esq., comes out with a new prospectus, and proposes to write, print and publish as other newspaper or periodical publishers. "The Maile," we are to understand, has attained its majority, and has now assumed the attributes of manhood. We are glad to meet you on these terms, Mr. Maile, and we shall hope to enjoy many a pleasant tete-atete. " Treaties and Taxation," is a good sub- ject, and we hope to see it discussed in future numbers. " Early Missionary Efforts Among the Marquesas," is another article in the right direction. "Shall I learn to play Billiards?" is the third article. In this the writer appears to be squinting at billiards through H. Ward Beecher's spectacles. We should prefer to read what the writer might have to say, when he had taken them off and viewed the subject without glasses. Other interesting articles are 'to be found in this specimen number.

Their object appears to be to combine healthful physical exercise and manly sports with mental and intellectual improvement. At the inauguration of their building, as an opening of their Club," they invited His Excellency S. H." Phillips, Esq., to deliver the address. The reputation of the speaker as a polished writer and eloquent speaker, prepared the tublic mind to expect an entertaining and nished performance. It affords us great leasure to note the fact that the audience was not disappointed. Our limits will allow but a brief allusion to the oration. Perhaps it may be owing to partiality on our part to lecturers and orators from the Athens of America, but we can truly say that Mr. Phillips' oration and delivery filled out that beau ideal of what would be esteemed good speaking in Boston, nearer than anything which we have ever listened to in this part of the world. Col. Hawkins gave us at the Public Hall a good specimen of stump oratory of the West, while Mr. Phillips presented as good a specimen of the classic scholarship, severe discipline,extensive reading, finished oratory and manly bearing of the East.' The Advertiser of the 30th ult., prints it in full. Two-sworded Japanese. —It is noticed that some of the Japanese now in port and attached to whaleships, wear two swords. From " Mac Farlane's Japan " we learn that the Japanese are divided into eight classes : 1. Hereditary Princes, Daimios. 2. Hereditary Nobility, including Gov- ernors. &c. 3. Priests, of all sects. 4. Military. " All these four classes," remarks this author, " who constitute the higher orders of Japanese society, enjoy the envied privilege of carrying two swords, and of wearing a sort of loose petticoat-trowsers, which none beneath them ever dare put on." 5. Includes medical men, Government clerks, and other professional men. 6. Merchants and shop-keepers. " The gentleman, or even common soldier that should engage in any trade or traffic, would be thereby disgraced forever. No amount of money or patronage can procure for the merchant the inestimable honor of wearing the petticoat-trowsers." 7. Peddlers, mechanics, painters, artists, 8. Farmers and day-laborers of all kinds. There is another class which is held in so low estimation, that those belonging to it are not enumerated or set down in the list: " All tanners, curriers, leather-cutters, and, in fact, every man in any way connected with the preparation of leather or the leather trade, lie under ban and interdict. They are not permitted to dwell in any town or village with other classes of men. They are not even numbered in the census of the population. It is conjectured that this banning of a whole class originated in the Sintoo doctrine of defilement by contact with any dead Editor's Table. Katiibina ; her Life and Mine—pages 287. York C. Scribner & Co., Publishers. : New It has long been our belief that in New England history, scenery, life,character, manners, customs, peculiarities and notions, there were the richest materials for writers of fiction and poetry. The time is approaching when those materials will be wrought into form and shape to please the fancy and interest the lovers of good reading. Mrs. Stowe, in "Minister Wooing," Mr.Mitchell,in "Dr. Johns," Henry Ward Beecher, in " Norwood," and now Dr. Holland, in "Kathrina," present pleasing earnests of what may hereafter be expected when American scholars and writers possess more leisure, more culture, and more reflection. The volume before us is from the prolific pen of Dr. Holland, who has adopted the norn dc plume of Timothy Titcomb, whose " Bitter-Sweet," " Lectures," &c., are so well known to the reading community. This volume is a most charming tribute to the worth, moral and intellectual, of woman. As he has dedicated the volume to his wife, doubtless it was her fair image that was ever mirrored before his mind as he wrote, and her unseen influence which nerved his hand to write so felicitously, poetically and truthfully of woman. ! woman—wife !

One of the most interesting items that we have learned from the whalemen, who have cruised in the Arotio Ocean the past summer, is the discovery ofextensive land in tbe middle of that ocean, which may yet prove to be a Polar Continent. The existence of this land has long been known, but owing to the impassable ice barrier along its •bores, of its extent and character nothing very definite has been known, until this season. Baron Wrangell, the famous Kunnin.ii explorer, first communicated to the world the knowledge of its existence, as.ho learned it from the Siberian Indians, and it is simply marked on most Arctic charts "extensive high land." It should be stated that the post summer has been the mildest and most favorable for whaling ever known by our oldest whalemen. One master says that be did not see a piece of ice as large as his hand till he reached tho straits, and even beyond that, up to 72, the sea was generally free from floating ice. The weather, for the most part, has been exceedingly mild, with (southerly winds prevailing, which has tended to melt the ice or drive it northward. As a result or the favorable state of the ooeen and weather, the ships have gone farther north this summer than ever before, some having reached as high as latitude 73 ° 30. Capt. Long, of the, bark Nile, who seems to have examined the land most attentively, having cruised along the entire southern coast, litis drawn a sketch of itß appearance. It is quite elevated, and near the center hae an extinct crater cone, which he estimated to be 2,480 feet high. He named it Wrangell's Land, after the noted Russian explorer. The West point he named Cape Thomas, after the seamnn on his ship who discovered it, and tho S. K. point, Cape Hawaii. The names given by Capt. Long are so exceedingly appropriate, that we doubt not the Geographical Societies of Europe and America will adopt them and call thisland " Wrangell's Land." Capt. Long has prepared for us un account of this interesting discovery, which wo insert here: Honolulu, Nov. sth, 18j67. H. M. Whitney, Esq.,—Sir:—During my cruise in the Arctic Ocean this season, I saw land not laid down on any charts that I have seen. The land was first seen from the bark JVite on the evening of the 14th of August, and the next day at 94 o'clock A. x , the ship was 18 miles distant from the west point of the land. I had good observations this day, and made the west point to be in latitude 70° 4(3' north, and longitude 178° 30' east. The lower parts of the land were entirely free from snow and had a green appearance, as if covered with vegetation. There was broken ice between the ship and land, but as there were no indications of whales, I did not feel justified in endeavoring to work through it and reach the shore, which I think could have been done without much danger. We sailed to the eastward along the land during the 15th and part of the 16th,and in some places approached it as near as fifteen miles. On the 16th the weather was very clear and pleasant, and we had a good view of the middle and eastern portion of the land. Near the centre, or about in the longitude of 180° , there is a mountain which has the appearance of an extinct volcano. By approximate measurement I found it to be 2,480 feet high. I had excellent observations on the 16th,and made the south-eastern cape, which I have named Capk Hawaii, to be in latitude 70 ° 40' north, and longitude 178° 51' west It is impossible to tell how far this land extends northward, but as far as the eye could reach we could see ranges of mountains until they were lost in the distance ; and I learn from Capt Bliven, of the ship JVuutilut, that he saw land northwest of Herald Island as far north as latitude 72 °. The first knowledge of the existence of this land was given to the civilized world by Lieutenant Ferdinand. Wrangell, of the Russian Navy (who I find in 1840 was an Admiral ha the same service.) In his expedition* from Nishne Kolvmak in the consecutive yean from 1820 to 1824he obtained information from the Tachnk tschi that in clear days ia the summer eoa- .. son they could see land north from Cape Jakan.

It appeared peditions, and settle more definitely the character almost as blue as it does ins the middle of the Pacific Ocean, although there was but from fifteen to eighteen fathoms in any place within forty miles of the land. I think the positions I have assigned to this land will be found correct, as Mr. Flitner examined my chronometer on my arrival and found it only one and a half miles in error. I havl named this northern land Wranoell's Land, as an appropriate tribute to the memory of a man who spent three consecutive years north of latitude 69° , and demonstrated the problem of this open Polar Sea forty-five years ago, although others of much later date, have endeavored to claim the merit of this of the open Polar Sea. The following letter from Capt. Raynor contains some additional particulars, relating to the northerly current past Herald Island, a circumstance noticed by several masters, and which tends to confirm tho opinion that the newly-discovered land extends some distance to the north. In the channel north of Herald Island, the sea was clear of ice as far north as the eye could reach from tho vessel that went farthest into it. Honolulu, November 1, 1867. Me. Whithey,—Sib—ln compliance with your request, I send a short account of a large tract of land, lying in the midst of the Arctic Ocean, hitherto but Uttle known.

I sailed along the south and east ject, which may be of benefit to other cruisers in this side of this island for a considerable distance three discovery. The west cape of this land I have named Capk Thomas, from the man who first reported the land from the mast-head of my ship, and the south-eastern cape I have named after the largest island in this �THE different times, and once cruised along the entire shore, and by what I considered reliable observations, made the extreme southwest cape to lie in north latitude 70° 60', and east longitude 178° 16. The southeast cape I found to lie in north latitude 71 10', and west longitude 176° 40*. The south coast appears to be nearly straight, with high rugged cliffs and entirely barren. The northeast coast I have not examined to any extent, but it appears to run from the southeast cape in a northwesterly direction for about fifteen or twenty miles, and then turns to the north and northeast. I learned from Capt. Bliven that he traced it much farther north, and has seen others who traced it to north of latitude 73, I think there is no doubt that it extends much further to the north, and that there is another island lying to the east of it, say in longitude 170 west, and to the northwest of Point Barrow, with a passage between it and the land I have just described. My reason for thinking so is this We always find ice to the south of the known land, farther to the south than we do to the eastward of it. The current there runs to the northwest, from one to three knots an hour. In the longitude of 170 west, we always find the ice barrier from fifty to eighty miles further south than we do between that and Herald Island, and there is always a strong current setting to the northwest between those localities, unless prevented by strong northerly gales, (for in such shoal water as the Arctic Ocean, the currents are changed easily by the winds,) which would indicate that there is a passage in that direction, where the waters pass between two bodies of land that holds the ice, the one known, the other unknown. I would add that the southwest cape of this islands described above, lies seventy-five miles distant from the Asiatic or Siberian coast. Gko. W.

Commencing a new year with our accounts with the printerall settled, and other expenditures of the Friend paid, we feel hopeful for the future, and most cordially wish our patrons and readers, on sea and land, "A Happy New Year." Our great aim is to convince our readers that true happiness is alone to be found and enjoyed by obeying the laws of God. " The law of God," says the Psalmist, " is exceeding broad." It relates to man's physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual natures. The violators of God's laws derive a momentary and delirious pleasure which some style enjoyment, but it falls infinitely short of that pure happiness to be derived from rendering obedience to the law of God, when that term is used in its broadest signification. Entering upon a new year, and not knowing what 1a day or moment may bring forth, we would earnestly enjoin upon our readers to take God's Holy Word as a larap unto their feet and light unto their path, turning neither to the right hand or to the left. Read, we entreat you, some portion of God's Word each day. By reading two cTiapters in the Old Testument and one in the New Testament every week day, and six in the Old and four in the New every Sabbath during the 1, 1868. {(DluScrhs.

The weather was delightful, and suggested to one's mind the sunny skies* of Italy rather than the ideas of cold barrenness and desolation which hud always before been associated with the name of Kamtschatka. We rode all day through grand mountain scenery, down into green smiling valleys, over ridges which were glowing with the colored foliage of autumn, and camped at night in some little grassy glade surrounded by forests of yellow birch, and bordered by some clear, cold mountain stream which fell in musical cascades past our little tent. It was the very poetry of travel. At Sherom, the head of the Kamtschatka River, we left our horses, pitched our tent on a raft, and floated quietly and pleasantly down the river to Kluche. The following extract from my journal will show you how I enjoyed that : it was Gray who said that his " Iofthink idea Paradise was 'to read eternal new romances of Marivauxand Crebillon.' Could the author of the 'elegy' have stretched himself out in the sunshine on the open deck of a Kamtschadal boat, covered to a depth of six inches with fragrant flowers and freshly cut hay—could he have floated slowly down a broad tranquil river, through ranges of snowclad mountains, past forests glowing with yellow and crimson, and vast steppes waving with tall, wild grass—could he have watched the moon rise over the sharp snowy peak of the Kluchefskoi volcano, bridging the river narrow trail of quivering light, and listerreu to the plash of the boat;:.en's paddles and the low melancholly song to which they kept time, he would have thrown Marivaux overboard and given a better definition of the pleasures of Paradise." You see I was highly delighted with the scenery, the weather and the mode of travel; but alas, the pleasantest part of it was over when we reached Kluche. We ascended the Yolofka River in little canoes, and started on horseback to cross the Tigil mountains, but were overtaken by a severe storm on the summit, and suffered considerable from cold, rain and fatigue before we reached Tigil on the sixteenth day from Petropaulovski. From this place it was all hardship. The storms which heralded the approach of winter had already set in, and for a week after we left Tigil we were alternately drenched by cold autumnal rains and frozen by driving snowstorms. On October 4th we reached Lesnoi, a Kamtschadal village on the west coast in about latitude 59° 30*. Here our small party of three was divided—Major Abasa and Dodd going by water in a whaleboat, and I, starting with half a dozen Kamtschadals and horses, to cross a range of bleak rugged mountains lying between the village and Padkagernia. In case Major Abasa's progress was stopped by a storm, I was to take him and Dodd on my horses ; and in case I found the snow very deeo on the mountains, I was to signal to the whaleboat, send ray horses back, and go on with them. In one way or the other we hoped to get through. Major A. was stopped by a gale of wind only fifteen vents from Lesnoi, while I, knowing nothing of it, struggled on through deep snow and a pourga," got lost in the mountains, our wet clothes froze stiff on our bodies, our provisions were exhausted, nnd a blinding snow-storm hid everything from sight. We waded through the deep snow, dragging our horses after us, and succeeded by the aid of a pocket compass in finding our way to the Samanca River, one hundred and fifty versts north of Lesnoi. Here I was ordered to wait for the whaleboat two days ; but as the storm continued with unabated fury, and I had nothing whatever to eat, I waited only one day, and then started back exhausted and hungry, and very doubtful whether I should ever reach Lesnoi. We rode every night until midnight, wading deep, icy streams, cutting roads through dense thickets up narrow ravines, and dragging our horses over rocks where we could not ride them. I soon got very faint and weak from excessive fatigue and want of food, but a strong will will hold the body to its work long after it is exhausted, and I managed to reach Lesnoi in tremendous " safety. The Major had just walked back with Dodd from the place where they abandoned the whaleboat, and we were all once more together. The exposure and disappointment brought a severe fit of sickness upon the Major, and all thoughts of further progress were given up for the present. Dodd was sent back to Tigil after a new outfit of provisions, and I remained at Lesnoi with the Major, who was sick a month. It was very lonely. The Major never spoke a word, I could not talk Russian, and was at my wit's end for amusement. Early in November, however, the Major's health improved, and the winter road having been established, we started once more on dog sledges for Ghijiga. This time we were more successful, and after twenty days of travel, camping nearly every night on the steppes or among the mountains in temperature as low as 43 ° , we finally reached our destination. At Ghijiga we could hear nothing from the party landed at the mouth of the Anadyr which was to cooperate with us in the exploration of the route of the line, and as the Ispravnik says in a letter to the Russian papers, " there remained on the hands of four men, two of whom were at the A moor River, the exploration of a route for the line through a country six thousand versts in extent." The Major, however, did not despair, and after ten days spent in rest and refitment, we started again—he to explore the country west to Ochotsk, and I north to Anadyrsk. I reached the latter place in twenty-three days, experiencing at times as great cold as 50 ° degrees below zero. At that settlement I learned through wandering Tchucktchis that a party of five men had been landed the preceding fall at the mouth of the Anadyr, where they were still living in a little hut built of bushes and earth. 1 had no orders to go farther than Anadyrsk, but fearing that something might happen to so small a party in such a desolate country, and among such fierce, bloodthirsty natives as the Tchucktchis were represented to be, I lost no time in gathering sledges to go to their rescue. I found that no one had ever been to Anadyr Bay, and that the natives were afraid to attempt it, declaring that the cold was intense, the storms terrible, and that for hundreds of versts along the river there was not a bush, tree, nor stick of wood. I had authority, however, from the Ispravnik at Ghijiga to compel them to go where I wished, and backed up by a Cossack, I succeeded in obtaining eleven sledges, and on January 10th started, carrying dog food and provisions for thirty days. As I approached the mouth of the river, I found that the stories of the natives with regard to the scarcity of wood were true. For the last hundred and twentyfive versts 1 could not find enough to boil a tea-kettle, and was compelled to travel day and night as the temperature was from 46 ° to 50 ° Wlow zero, and I dared not camp without a fire. We reached Anadyr Bay on the 19th of January at midnight, found the little hut buried in snow, waked up the frightened inmates by shouting down the stovepipe, and received a warm welcome from our long exiled comrades. I returned to Anadyrsk, carrying them with me, together with their stores, and arrived on the 4th of February, having been absent twenty-five days. During February I occupied myself with explorations between Anadyrsk and Penjina for a better route, the one which I first explored not being satisfactory. In March I returned to Ghijiga to meet Major Abasa. He had located the route as far as Ochotsk, and nt that place had met Messrs. Mayhood and Bush, who had explored all the country between there and Nikolasefsk—so that when we met on the 27th of March, we could congratulate ourselves on the successful exploration and location of a route for the line from the Amoor River to Behring Straits. This had been accomplished during an Arctic winter by only four men in three months and twenty-seven days, during which we traveled altogether nearly twenty thousand versts on dog sledges. Whatever may be the result of our labors, we can always look back upon this part of them with honest pride. Through all the summer of 1866 we were compelled to lie idle, waiting for vessels, money and stores from America. We had no men, no horses, no money, and no provisions, and could do nothing until the arrival of the Palmetto on the 20th of September. One whole summer, the best season of the year, was thus lost, but through no fault of ours. As soon as the Palmetto arrived, Major A. started for Yakoutsk to hire native laborers and purchase horses, while I remained at Ghijiga to accomplish what 1 could with our small party of eleven men. I spent the winter principally in traveling to Anadyrsk, Yamsk and intervening points, and starting the work where I could. At the opening of this spring we had about fifteen hundred versts of poles cut, sixty houses and magazines built between Ochotsk and Anadyr Bay, six hundred laborers engaged and on their way from Yakoutsk, together with two hundred horses and stores, etc., for their subsistence. Everything now promised a large season's work this summer, when we were suddenly astonished and disheartened by orders to abandon. One of the most important female qualities is sweetness of temper. Heaven did not give to women insinuation and persuasion in order to be imperious; it did not give them a sweet voice to be employed in scolding. �To break the lingering tie that bound her race To Pele, flame-crowned goddess of thy chasm. BY W. C. JONES. O'er fire-browned clinkers and through tangled woods, Deep Hades of the seven Phlegethons ! From thy basaltic pillared walls I gaze, Up mountain steeps a hundred miles she walked, Through sulphurous clouds that ceaselessly ascend Trampling the creeds of ages 'neath her feet, Braving the wrath of all the mythic gods, From fiery maelstroms in red, rushing whirl, That like dark incubii on heart and brain, Into thy vast abyss with silent awe. Eve's curtains gather round thee like a shroud, Had checked the progress of Hawaii's race, She sought thy depths to tempt and to defy And drape in shadow Mauua Loa's dome ; The rage, the power of their multiple gods ; Tho trade wind o'er the bending forest sweeps, While awe-struck thousands on thy lofty rim, Cold and mist-laden from the eastern wave : And as it parts the fire-born clouds below. Gazed tremblingly beneath in firm belief That Pele in her wrath would hurl her fires The smouldering ruins of a city vast— W On one who dared her in her sulphury home. A giant Moscow in a sea of flame— Herbrow all radiantly illumed by hope, Appear with blackened walls, and dome and spire She stood beside thy rushing, liquid tide Of church and grand cathedral crashing fall; Of red hot lava in its maddest flow, Turret and tower and monument go down, And as the sulphury vapors wreathing, rolled As round them lap and whirl the eddying flames, In eddying fire-lit waves round her tall form, Like those lost cities which Jehovah's wrath She seemed divine as thus she calmly spoke : O'erwhelmcd in sulphury hail and fiery rain. In His great name who died for men I come, up, the smoke went plain from theruined Till To prove to my lost race the living God ! Seething and dense as from a furnace blast. And here, oh, Pele ! superstition's myth ! I feci a wonderment—a deeper awe, I do defy thee on thy throne of power ! Than e'er w.is wakened by earth's grandest scenes, If thou existest, whelm me 'neath thy waves, When I have viewed the mightiest rivers leap Pour on me all thy scorching lava flood, In thunder echoes from bold beetling cliffs, Or suffocate me with thy sulphury breath, Or foam in cataracts through rocky gorge ; Or close around me all thy lakes of fire ! Niagara were tame compared to thee, And Ocean's majesty, in calm or storm, But no—the fresh breeze, lifts the sulphury clouds, The waves subside, the fiery jets decrease ; Inspires no feelings kindred to the thoughts Awoke by thee, wild flaming lake of fire ; God calms thy vortex as the restless sea ; And the volcanic vents—earth's crater cones— I trample here on thypretended power, Are nought to the stern grandeur of thy depths. And cry, Io Jchova ! in thy depths ; Thou fiery wonder of the untaught mind ! Io leliova ! let the triumph ring, Till all the isles shall know the living God! The simple natives of the isles had made She passed majestic o'er the lava vale, A home in thee for Pele—fiery power, Goddess of the volcano's hot domain ; As a triumphant smile illumed her face, How like the ancient Greeks, who wove their dreams God-like and noble, born of faith and hope. Now sable night hangs o'er thee, Kilauea, Of the ideal in poetic forms, And robed Cocytus' son with Pete's power But night illumed by thy sulphury glare ; Over their burning, weird, infernal river. Thy seven seething lakes light up the clouds No Stygian waves surround thy Hades deep, With an unearthly and demoniac glow, No Iris bright descends with golden vase, The fever flush from thy hot heart of flame, To bring the dreaded draught to perjured gods ; The hectic glow ot an expiring world ; Yet thy wild, fiery glare hath lighted up I watoji their bubbling jets in fiery play, And deem that Vulcan in his boiling forge, A scene more brilliant than Greek poet's dream, Sublime in moral courage and the faith Is moulding fantastically strange his forms, That rent asunder superstition's chains, While Cyclops, roused from slumber far beneath, And by her incandescent throne of power, Pour the fused metal in infernal moulds. Defied the Goddess Pele in thy depths. Now the waves flash, and eddying, whirl and leap 'Gainst crumbling shores of glass-like lava cliffs, Kapiolani—noblest of her race— Where Pcle's fair hair waves in sulphury steam ; Kapiolani—type of woman kind— In high moral heroism born of love, The fiery jets, fierce bubbling, chase each other, In past or present and in every clime, Like flame-maned courses on their burning track, Immortal as the faith which fired her heart, Then disappear, lost in the ragiug gulf; Her deed sheds lustre on these ocean isles ! Ever witli northward flow the current sweeps, Grim Superstition with his gory rites, Crackling and sparkling in red fissures deep, Had ruled the isles for ages and the sigh As the cooled surface breaks, like fields of ice, Of souls fettered by tyrannous tabu, And dark-red lava heaps in fiery drift.

A nation religionless, yet free in soul! Dim, dream-winged shadows of Progression's Law ! Then came the messengers of peace and love, Thou seemest not of earth ; thy red waves come, Who taught the pure and holy creed of Christ; Up—rushing from that central, fiery sea, And ne'er were sown the seeds of gospel faith Beneath earth's ocean that resistless wars With all that forms this planet's fragile crust.

We truly wish " that wealthy gentleman" would extend to the San Francisco Post Of- fice the sphere of his benevolent operations, for we are confident letters destined for the Islands are there detained and sent to the dead-letter office at Washington, because the postage has not been prepaid. Until a postal convention can be formed between the United States and the Hawaiian Kingdom, by which this difficulty can be obviated, we do think this Government should instruct its Consul in San Francisco to send forward all such letters, and let the postage be collected in Honolulu.

Old age, to some, but not all, is a most undesirable period of life. When men come to " be afraid of that which is high," and fears are " in the way," then life becomes to many a burden. But is there no secret source of happiness which will render old age rather desirable ? Cicero, tho old Roman orator and philosopher, wrote an essay upon old "ge. Amid even the darkness of heathenism, he found great consolation in the probability of the soul's immortality. His remarks arc worthy of a Christian philosopher : I am " fur from regretting that life was bestowed on Those given to fast living do not live out half their days. They die prematurely. They waste their vital energies. Eager for enjoyment, they pursue the method which destroys it. There is irfcch of rational enjoyment in this world within the limits of law, but when the devotee of pleasure seeks for enjoyment by overstepping those limits, then a fearful retribution follows. " What- me, as 1 have the satisfaction to think that I soever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." it in such a manner as not to God has given to each one of the human have employed lived in vain. In short, I consider this have race a certain amount of vitality. By carewhich Nature never deful obedience to the laws of our physical and world as a place for my permanent abode ; and I look signed moral natures, that vitality may be prolonged, on my departure out of it. not as being driven c'en down to extreme old age. " Wine is a from my habitation, but as leaving my inn. mocker," declares Solomon, "strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby O glorious day ! when I shall retire from this is not wise." If Solomon had lived in our days, he would have been equally severe upon tobacco, opium, lager beer, and the score of other deleterious stimulants which waste man's vitality. All unnatural stimulants lery tribute upon man's vital energies and tend to shorten life. '• Though th« mill* of (Jiml grind lalowty, yet they grind exceeding Hlnall Though with natteoee ReataVndi waiting, with exactaeM grinds Wile all." : No man can out-wit his Maker or transgress his Maker's laws with impunity. We recommend our renders to review their lives, and if they discover that their vital energies are too rapidly wasting, let them in season do all in their power to remedy the evil. There is a wonderful recuperative power in the human system. We are never too old to learn. The fast liver is continually wasting his vital powers. Fast living is a mortgage upon man's vitality which must be paid off. Death usually forces a foreclosure long before roan has attained three score and ten. Wholesome food, abundance of sleep, constant employment, and a good conscience, are the requisites for long life and happiness, while fast living, late hours, idleness and» vice will bring a man to a premature grave and certain shame. A word to the wise on New Year's morning is sufficient. A complete edition of the Bible has just been printed in the dialect of the Fiji Islanders by the British and Foreign Bible Society. If the savage Islanders kill missionaries, give them the Bibln to teach them a better way. The English newspapers report that the Prince of Wales has signed the pledge. We should be glad to see it reported in the American papers that the President had done the same. low ana sordid scene to associate with the divine assembly of departed spirits. * * * Thus to think, and thus to act, has enabled me, Scipio, to bear up under a load of years with ease and complacency. And after all, should this my firm persuasion of the soul's immortality prove to be a mere delusion, it isat least a pleasing delusion, and I will cherish it to mv latest breath." Thus reasoned Cicero. He hoped the soul was immortal. He was not quite certain, it might after all be a delusion, but it was a pleasing delusion. Turning from such reasoning, let us contemplate the doctrine of the soul's immortality from a Christian point of view. Paul had no doubts upon this subject, for his faith was in " Jesus Christ, who hath abolished'death, and hath brought life and immortality to light in the Gospel." To one whose views of life and immortality resemble those of the apostle, old age is no undesirable period of life. We have been led to indulge in this train of remarks by the suggestive thoughts expressed in the following paragraph copied from a letter of one of our American correspondents, an Episcopalian " I do not know how it is with you, but I feel that I have Touched the hill top, and am now going down the other side. Stay be you are only on the top ?—you speak of such unbroken health and vigor; so I want to tell you, this 'side of the hill is just as pleasant as the other. Morning has its freshness and beauty, but evening has the glory of the day; and this side of the hill has all the sunset's glow. Gleams from ' the golden shore,' I think they must be. I have always admired old age, and everything that was its type. When we reach fifty, I think we can begin to spell out, for ourselves, the meaning of that period of life—its joys and sorrows, its helps and comforts. Slow learners we are of all the lessons of life,even under such a Teacher; yet if he be our Master, we do learn. Increase in the knowledge of Him.' Ah, it is : ' this which shortens the way, that makes the heart wurmer and brighter as years increase. In youth we may believe in Him, but we do rot know Him as in later years, when the burdens, cares and sorrows—the sin we find in ourselves and the imperfection in all about us—have made us lean on Him, and turn to Him for sympathy and help, then we begin to taste 'the riches of His grace,'as the young pilgrim never can. We know Him, because we have tried Him." It is a personal Saviour whom we all need, anil iu,A have as our faithful companion, and then the up-hill as well as the, down-hill side of life will always appear bright and cheerful. If any of our readers have reached the top, and are upon the down-hill side of life, but have never made the Lord Jesus Christ, their Saviour, most earnestly would we call their attention to this important subject nt the commencement of a new year. This year may be your hist. How vastly important that you now attend to the " one thing needful." Allow the glorious light of Gospel truth to shine into your soul, and you will not feel the doubt and uncertainty which rested upon Cicero's mind, but you will come into the liberty of the Gospel, and be ready to say with' Paul " 1 know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." : It don't Pay! What don't pay ? The California papers will not pay. One paper asserts that there are thousands of gallons of wine now stored in San Francisco which will not pay the expense of raising the grapes and the manufacture of the wine. The question arises, why will it not pay, when so much is drank ? " This answer is given, that wine and brandy can be manufactured so much cheaper in San Francisco than at Los Angeles, that the wine business won't pay, the pure wine, we mean. Advertisements such as the following appear in the California papers : report that the wine crop — SALOON KKEI'KRS, Look to your Interest and Save MO PER IHAVE CENT. TUB BUTT HKCII'KS FOR.

From this notice and failure of the wine culture to pay, it readily appears that wine bibbers and brandy drinkers make use of a spurious and counterfeit article. Verily "wine is a mocker." Wine and brandy drinkers are cheated of their money, ruin their health, and entail upon themselves, their families and society all the sad consequences of in- �temperance. We wonder if the people of Honolulu imagine they drink the pure article when they sip their wine or drink their brandy ? The proper phraseology should be, when anybody proposes to drink one's health in a glass of wine : " Will you allow me to drink your health in a decoction of logwood, strichnine, and ."

Pearson. The following paragraphs are copied from "A Discourse delivered in the Chapel at the Navy Yard, Portsmouth, N.H., on Sunday morning, July 7,1867, by Rev. C. Burroughs, D. D." The subject of this discourse was born in Exeter, New Hampshire, in the year 1799. His early education was in Salem, to which place his parents removed soon after his birth. He very early showed his predilection for the navy, and enlisted as a midshipman in the year 1815, having received his appointment from Massachusetts. Ten years afterward he received a commission as lieutenant. While holding that rank, he was married to Miss Ellen Jackson, of Newburyport, belonging to one of the most respectable families of that city, and sister of the distinguished scholar, who, for his antiquarian researches, general knowledge, and high virtues, was appointed by President Jackson as Minister to Copenhagen. After the year 1832, Lieutenant Pearson was ordered on duty to the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, where he acted as Lieutenant Commander more than three years, and then he received a commission to serve on board the frigate Constitution. In that ship he made several cruises to the Mediterranean. He availed himself of the.proximity to the Holy Land to visit it. With a few friends he left the ship at Jaffa, where he was anchored, and went to Jerusalem, whose sacred localities he diligently surveyed; and he drank in holy emotions from every scene, made dear by the presence and acts of his Saviour. While in the Mediterranean, he took the Syrian fever, which was so severe and lasting, that his recovery seemed impossible. But the Divine Physician watched over him and preserved his life, to make it the means of new blessings to his friends and country. After the year 1837, he was transferred to the United States schooner Shark, of which he had the command for a few years. He was ordered to cruise among the West India Islands, where our ships were constantly molested by pirates. While at Constantinople he was a guest at the house of the late Commodore David Porter, then Minister Resident at Constantinople. The Sultan, cherishing the highest respect and esteem for the Commodore, consulted him in relation to the choice of some distinguished officer of our navy who might be deemed qualified to take a temporary command of the Turkish navy—to have the whole discipline and services for which our fleet officers were distinguished. The Sultan offered ten thousand dollars a year to any American officer who would take that command. Commodore Porter said, "If I should search the whole American navy through to find such a man, I would take the one, now a guestat my house, Lieutenant Commander Pearson." The Sultan regarded the suggestions of the Commodore, and offered to Commander Pearson the supervision of the whole navy. The Commander respectfully acknowledged the singular and generous offer, and, with his characteristic modesty, declined it, though he knew it was to be but a temporary arrangement, which by no means implied a FRIEND, JANUARY, 186S. renunciation of his country, or of allegiance to its laws. The next day the Sultan earnestly renewed his offer. The love of country and of its service made the Commander blind to every foreign favor and every golden enticement, and he promptly declared in reply, " that his country was dearer to him than everything which the Sultan had in his power to offer." From 1860 to 1864, he had the command of the Portsmouth Navy Yard. About the year 1864 he took command of the Pacific squadron, and wus much at Honolulu, Sun Francisco, Lima and Callao. He was made Hear Admiral in 1565. He was about three years on duty in the Pacific. In the spring of this year he returned to his home, leaving his family in the Sandwich Islands. His constitution, severely injured by an attack o f the Asiatic cholera when he was in China, developed some of its mischiefs on reaching our shores. Much quiet and care were necessary for the recovery of bis strength. He had barely reached this country, when he was summoned to attend a court martial at New York. This duty being ended, he was ordered to Annapolis in Maryland, to preside at the examination of the Naval Academy in that place. As he thought of duty more than of himself, he was unwilling to neglect any of the cares and demands on him, to watch and arrest the increasing progress of the disease ; so that when he returned to Portsmouth last June, it was obvious to all his friends that he was suffering severe prostration. That was soon succeeded by congestive chills. None of his friends apprehended any danger about him until Thursday, the 27th of June last. Tfie previous Wednesday he enjoyed a walk. On the evening of that day he was visited with faintness, and said, " this is my last sickness ; " and gave a farewell pressure to the hands of his attending friends. About one o'clock on the morning of the first of July he calmly expired. We have committed his remains to the dust with all the honors due to his rank and merit from the army, navy and community ; with all the solemnity of the services of our ritual ; with expressions of the deepest sorrow and universal love. How merciful was it in Providence to have permitted him to return to his native country to meet his family before his decease, and to interchange the last words of pure and warm af- favor of it, from his language, conduct, manner and bearing. He was in heart and soul devoted to our national Union. All Honor to "a Sailor named Marshall." In reading the account of a terrible explosion in a shaft connected with the Hoosac Tunnel, our attention was arrested by the bold and fearless daring of a sailor. Thirteen laborers were supposed to have perished at the bottom of the shaft, sunk 600 feet. After the'fire was extinguished, but ere the noxious gases were totally expelled, this sailor volunteered to descend and look after the fate of the unfortunate laborers at the bottom of the shaft. The following extract will indicate that the sailor is the man at the moment of danger, and when there is only one chance in a thousand that there is a possibility of escape : The next day a sailor named Marshall, at the peril of his life, was let down the shaft by means of a rope fastened to his body, in the hope that possibly some of the men below might yet be alive. Previously to his going down, knowing the perilous character of his expedition, and the dangers to be encountered from foul air in the shaft, Marshall made his will, and then heroically descended. He went down 600 feet, from which point he was able to see that the bottom of the shaft was covered with water to the depth of 20 feet or more, and that there was not the slightest possible hope for any of the men in the pit. He then made the signal to be hauled up, and when some feet above, encountered a current offoul air which rendered him insensible. Upon being brought to the mouth of the shaft he was still senseless, and scarcely alive, and it was not until the most vigorous means of restoration were applied that the heroic man was restored to consciousness. The tale he then told dispelled the last hope for the men below.— Troy Daily Times. Naval.—H. B. M.'s S. Cameleon, Com. Annesley, arrived at this port on Tuesday, Dec. 17.

His Wife's Letter to Him. Senator — Temperance is one ol ike sweetest and delightful things upon c.irih ;. it is the very spring-head of chei»Wulncss, happiness and joy—the very chivalry of manhood itself. I have beet) a temperance man for fifteen days, and I am a gayer boy to-night than I have been for seventeen years. (Laughter.) «I think lam the gayest man in the Senate, except the compeer of Clay and Crittenden—the able, indomitable and galJant old cavalier of Kentucky (Garret Davis.) I except you also, Mr. Chairman. (Laughter.) Temperance gloomy ? Not a bit of it, Mr. President. My pledge shall be a per]ietual charm, " n thing of beauty which is a most joy forever," not a cloud of gloom, but an ever present rainbow of promise, hope and beauty. lam as proud of it as of my wife and children, and that is the strongest way 1 have to express my pride. (Applause.) I am as proud of it as 1 am ot the commission which entitles me to hold the position of nn American senator. Hy-the-by, Mr. Chairman, I will submit to you the question. I rather think the commission and the temperance pledge ought to go together. (Applause.) What do you think about having " the teetotaller" put into the iron-clad oath ? (Laugh- ter.) You say, of what use is the pledge ? I will tell you. Twenty days ago there came along a friend of mine, a senator, and said, " Let us take a drink." I said, '• Certainly, all right." Another friend from Illinois in minutes and a half came along and said, " Let us take a drink." Said I, " All right." It is this way. One drink of liquor is enough for me ; two ain't half enough (laughter) ; three is only one-third enough, and four is chaos. After I signed ,the pledge I was asked several times to drink; but I didn't do any such thing. (Laughter.) After I signed this temperance pledge 1 wrote to a little lady out in Illinois, who weighs about a hundred pounds, has black hairand flashing black eyes, and " a form fairer than Grecian chisel ever woke from Parian marble," and 1 received the following answer: My Dear Richard :—How beautiful is this morning ; now bright the sun shines ; how sweetly our birds sing; how joyous the children ; how happy is my heart. I see the smile of God. He has answered the prayer. Always proud of your success, you have now achieved that success which God and angels will bless. It is the shining summit of human aspiration, for you have conquered yourself. All who love you will aid you to keep the pledge. I love you, my dearboy. Katie. Love, the sun, souland center of the moral universe ; Love, which links angel to angel, and God to inati | Love, which binds in one two loving hearts. Howbeautiful is love. (Applause.) As 1 look over this audience, composed of senators and representatives of this great nation, and these galleries blazing with beauty and the worth of the city, and sojourners from all the states and territories, I ask myself why they are here. Proud England, upon whose dominions the sun never sets, has but one queen ; but, thank God, we have millions of queens, who M Miln* In hMttlv Ilka, the. nl«l,t FIIIKMi, JANUARY, 1808. wh lik Montiollu, Phillips, to rrulte. whose chains we feel, and yet we bless the Dec.

FEBRUARY I. IS6S. Polynesia—Cannibalism at the Fiji Islands. It has been reported that this abominable practice had been abolished among the natives of the Fiji Islands. This is still true so far as the Government is concerned, and the natives under missionary influence. The recent out-break of the old practice, involving the death of the Rev. Mr. Baker, a Wesleyan missionary, occurred on the largest island of the group, Viti Levu, and at a remote distance irom the capital. Mr. Pease has recently received letters from Mr. Garrett, the American naturalist, so well-known among the islands of Polynesia. In one of his letters Mr. G. refers to the sad death of the Rev. Mr. Baker, who he states was killed and eaten, together with eight of his native teachers, by the mountain tribe of natives on Viti Levu. No particulars had been received. Mr. B. leaves a family to mourn his loss. A few weeks previous Mr. Garrett had made an exploring tour among the wild tribes of the mountains, probably the first person who has ventured to do so, and was treated very kindly. As a proof oftheir exclusiveness and secluded habits, he states that while staying at a trading post on Natewa Bay, Island of Vanua Levu, a number came down from the mountains who never before had seen a white man. The trader who had boldly located at the above post informed J\lr. U. that he had not been disturbed, nnd had to his knowledge but one enemy among the natives around him, and that was a woman whose life he had saved. It is the custom there, when the husband dies, to strangle his wife, that she may accompany him. The woman referred to above was about to be strangled, when the white man interfered and saved her life, as she had a family of young children, for which she cannot forgive him. It will be remembered that the United States steamship Tuscarnra recently visited the Fiji Islands, and an account of her visit we published in the October number of the Frieiid. Having recently received a new and valuable book, published in London, upon this group, in a subsequent number we shall offer some additional remarks upon one of the most interesting group of islands in all Polynesia. Of these islands there are no less than two hundred, large and small. A Cheering Word from Niihau. A correspondent on that island thus writes: We had a very pleasant time here on New "Year's Day with our natives. We had a grand feast, and some very good addresses. Mr. Kupahu (our Pastor) wrote a hymn for the occasion, which was set to music and sung beautifully. After which there was a Total Abstinence Society formed, and all our young people joined it to set a good example, and then a great many natives came forward and joined also, and more will in time. They seemed to enter fully into the spirit of it." It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that foreigners and Hawaiians are vying with each other to promote the cause ot temperance. The Hawaiians are fond of festive scenes. All right-minded and intelligent foreigners who have any regard for the native race, will do all in their power to impart a good healthy and temperate influence among the natives 9 {fll* Series, Vol. 2 4. on such occasions. A vicious and intemperforeigner is the worst of evils among Polynesians, but a moral, correct, sober and Christian foreigner settling among them is a great blessing. Nowhere is example more potent for weal or woe. ate Lehigh University.—Who has not heard of Lehigh coal ? But who ever of Lehigh University ? No one ever heard of the latter until September I, 1866, for then it was founded by the munificent endowment of five hundred thousand dollars and fifty-six acres of land, by the Hon. Asa Packer. This University is situated in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, along side of the venerable schools of the Moravians, so widely known. Mr. Packer, like some other rich and wise men of the United States, having made a fortune, is determined to see it expended in some good enterprise, and not leave it to his heirs to expend for him. This University has opened under favorable auspices, as we learn from a catalogue received by, the last mail. Fifty students have nlready become connected with this University. One of the most re. markable features of the educational interests of jhe United States is this, that rich men are devoting millions to the endowment of schools, colleges and universities.

We copy from the " American Church Missionary Register/ for December, publisbed in New York, the following description of the visit of the one hundred and fifty members of the Episcopal Convention, walkingarm in arm to the Presbyterian Convention sitting in the city of Philadelphia, to which reference is made by our correspondent. Most sincerely do we regret that our narrow limits will not allow us to copy the full report of this " Meeting of Brethren," as it has been aptly termed : So soon as the time of assembling of the Presbyterian Union Convention was announced, it was regarded by many as an opportunity, divinely given, for promotion of Christian unity. By referring to the proceedings of the prayer-meeting held by the Episcopal Convention of Wednesday morning, it will be seen that a young man suggested that prayer be offered for the Presbyterian Convention, and a second young man prayed fervently for that body. A poor woman who was present rejoiced in her heart at the good deed done. On her way she passed the Rev. Dr. Wyllie's Church, and saw the sexton at the door. She could not resist the itnpulse to tell the sexton of the prayer which had been offered. The sexton made haste to bear the good news to the President, George H. Stuart, Esq., who forthwith communicated it to the Convention. Immediately all business was suspended, and all hearts engaged in prayer. The next day a delegation was sent to our meeting. The welcome extended to this delegation has already been described. Such a meeting passes all power of description. It was a gracious time, when every heart warmed with divine love and rejoiced in the Holy Ghost; when strong men bowed themselves, and the old and the yo.ung alike wept; when the Lord set the seal of a special benediction upon this effort to show forth Protestant unity in the faith. All that remains is to give an account of what was done and said. In doing this, we •vail ourselves of various published reports. When all were seated, G. H. Stuart, Esq, the President, called for the singing of the 133dPsalm s how good a thing it is, " Behold, And how becoming well, Together suoh as brethren In unity to dwell! " are The scene was porfectly grand and inspiring, as the whole body, Episcopalians and Presbyterians, united their voices in singing this beautiful and appropriate psalm. Mr. Stuart then read an extract from Paul the Apostle relative to Christian unity. During the reading of this portion of the Scriptures, some of the Episcopal clergy ascended the platform, seated themselves among the Presbyterians, arid, at its conclusion, Rev. Richard Newton, of the Epiphany, offered prayer as follows: '• 0 Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Great Head of the Church, after whom the whole family jn heaven and on earth is named, thou art the highest object of our heartfelt praises, the only foundation of our hope and trust: we look to thee as our only Saviour. Wethank thee for that broad foundation of truth, all centering in thee, and upon which all who love thee live in common. We thank thee that there is so much truth which can not be taken away from the Bible, no matter to what denomination we may belong. Praise to thee that we are seeing more of what we hold in common. Oh! may we have increasing light from thy countenance. Thanks to thee, O Lord ! for this occasion, for this meeting of brethren, for this interchange of brotherly affection and regard. Send more of the spirit of love and unity into the hearts of the people everywhere. Bless those who have here consulted together to promote the cause of unity and truth. We thank thee for the tokens of thy presence with them. Oh ! bless their efforts and crown them with complete success. Be with us now, and make us feel that we are one in Christ, and have no other foundation of love, hope and trust; that we are only complete in thee, not in the Church, not in any family of the faith, but beyond and above all these, we are entire and wanting nothing in thee, 0 precious, precious, precious Saviour! Oh! may we feel thy presence and power while we continue here, and bring us all nearer to each other on earth, and at last unite us in the perpetual unity of the one elected and blood-bought Church to sing the heavenly song to Him who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, to whom, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, be all glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." Prof. H. B. Smith, of New York, then introduced the special deputation in a few words. Mr. Stuart then, advancing to Bishop Mcllvaine, said, " Brother (I can't call you bishop, for we are all brothers in Christ), I, on behalf of the Presbyterian Convention, welcome you and your colleagues." Bishop Mcllvaine saiit. " 1 am very glad to find presiding here over this august body my old friend Mr. Stuart." to war against infidelity ; we have to wn-r against the power which has stood against the Church—a power which at this day has its eyes upon this country and that on the other side of the water. It becomes us, therefore, to unite our endeavors to further every right effort to advance the truth. May God bless us in our endeavors in this great work! The President having introduced Bishop Lee, of Delaware, by saying that the last time he met Bishop Lee was in Richmond, where they had gone to minister to theUnion soldiers, the latter spoke as follows: The deputation has come to reciprocate the courteous and Christian greeting that had been extended to their body. He felt, in common with the one who had preceded him, that this interchange of fellowship and Christian lovewas unprecedented and unexpected. This certainly can not be attributed to the will or wisdom of man, but to God our father. A» the deputation entered this house, the first words that greeted their ears were those uttered in the prayer that was offered: " Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us king and priests unto God and His Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." We come to acknowledge each other as belonging to this royal priesthood. He felt that it was a privilege to be permitted here to speak of the feelings of love which we entertain for all the family of Christ. He expressed his sympathy with the members of this Convention as members of the household of faith and as engaged in the same great and blessed work, and we all wish that mutual sympathy may prevail among us. We call to remembrance that the truths of the Reformation have been maintained by your communion. We rejoice that you are preparing to stand unitedly against the powers of darkness. In that great day, when we shall be assembled before the throne of God, how insignificant will appear the differences which have here distracted u» as members of the Church. He concluded by thanking the Convention for the warm Bishop Mcllvaine then addressed the Con- and fraternal reception which had been given vention, saying: Dearly beloved brethren: to him and his colleagues. Prof. Smith then led in reciting the AposWe reciprocate your prayers on our behalf. Those prayers have been answered, not di- tles'Creed—all present repeating; after which rectly, but more auspiciously than most of the hymn, be the tie that binds us could have anticipated. God has an" Blest Our hearts in Christian love," swered them in the spirit of love. The entrance of your deputation was a grateful sur- was sung by the entire assembly with deep prise, and every heart was opened at once. emotion. The President then called upon Rev. Chas. We are here to-day for the purpose of expressing our love and our desires in response. Hodge, D.D., of Princeton Theological SemThe right hand of fellowship was extended inary, who addressed the deputation. Dr. Hodge said : I am called upon to speak to us yesterday in prayer, and now in this manner I greet you in the name of the House a word of welcome in behalf of the brethren of Bishops, and I greet you in the name of of the Presbyterian Church, a denomination the Lord Jesus Christ. (Applause.)

We rejoice with them in all the �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, good that has been accomplished through your instrumentality. 1 hope this audience will pardon a reference to what might seem personal under any other circumstances than the present. You, Bishop Mcllvaine, and Bishop Johns, whom I bad hoped to see on this occasion, and 1 were boys together in Princeton College, fifty odd years ago. Evening after evening have we knelt together in prayer. We were baptized in spirit together, in the great revival of 1815, in that institution ; we sat together year after year in the same class-room, and we were instructed by the same venerable theological teachers. You have gone your way and I mine, but I will venture to say, in the presence of this audience, lhat I do not believe that in all that time you have preached any one sermon which I would not have rejoiced to have delivered. I feel the same confidence in faying that I never preached a sermon which you would not have fully and cordially indorsed. Here we now stand, gray-headed, side by siue, after more than fifty years, the representatives of these two great bodies, feeling for each other the same intimate and cordial love; looking not" backward, not downward at the grave at our very feet, but onward at the coming glory. Brethren, pardon these personal allusions; but is there not something that may be regarded as symbolical on this occasion ? Sir, were not your church and ours rocked in the same cradle ? Have they not passed through the same Red Sea of trial? Did we not receive the same baptism of the Spirit? Do they not bear the same testimony to Christ and the Apostle ? What difference is there between the Thirtynine Articles and our Confession, greater than the difference between the different parts of one great cathedral anthem that arises lo the skies ? Does it not seem to you that these great churches are coming together? We stand here to declare to the whole world that we are one in faith, one in baptism, one in hope, and one in allegiance to your Lord and our Lord. During the delivery of Dr. Hodge's address tears were falling from almost every eye, and it would be impossible with the pen to convey any adequate impression of the solemnity of the scene. After these addresses the Convention spent some moments in silent prayer, when Bishop Mcllvaine led in fervent prayer for the object contemplated in this Presbyterian Convention, and Rev. Dr. John Hall, of New York, (late of Dublin,) led in earnest and appropriate prayer for the Episcopal churches in this country and in Great Britain and Ireland. Bishop Lee offered the Lord's Prayer, the assemblage joining. Mr. Stuart, the President, addressing Bishop Mcllvaine, repeated the last three verses of the sixth chapter of Numbers : •' The Lord bless thee,and keep thee; the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up his coun- vast 11 1868. as nenr to the communion and spirit of the of the great public schools of the Republic. heavenly world as it is ever permitted to at- The society, which numbers between 500 and tain here below. 600 members, held its second annual meeting in June last, and issued an octavo pamphEditor's Table. let of 108 pages, under the title of ' Oration, Poem, and Speeches delivered at the Second The 11 him iTAdK ano otukii I'okms.

There is much gold, silver and other mineral wealth in California. There is boundless enterprise among the people on the Pacific coast. There are ministers, lawyers, physicians and scientific men. There are editors,oratorsand literary men. Butwhcther amidst nil their wealth, talent and enterprise they have one real genuine poet is yet an undecided point. There are numbers who write for the Poet's Corner in newspapers and magazines, but has California a firstclass poet, or even a second-class poet ? Is there one writer of poetry who writes because he cannot help it ? This is the question. The volume lying upon our table indicates that possibly there is a true poet in California. Time and the world will determine. We hope it will be decided by the coining age, that the author of the poems in this volume is a true poet. If so, then he will prove of infinite wealth to the people of the Pacific slope. Poets are rare personages—rare gifts of heaven. A poet is one of a nation's great teachers. Some German critic has suggested that there were many Homers who wrote the Iliad ; but President Felton answers that point admirably: " Heaven never give Greece but one Homer, any more than heaven has never given Rome but one Virgil, England but one Shakespeare and one Milton, and Italy but one Dante." The author of these poems, it appears, is a banker in San Francisco, and a graduate of Vale College, belonging to the class of '61. Like Rogers, it appears that while engaged in banking, Mr. Sill finds time to write poetry. It is reported of Rogers, the poet, that he was the richest poet that ever lived. We hope it may prove true that the rising poet of California is the r.chest in thought and fancy of all living men. Hereafter we shall occasionally enrich our columns with specimens of Mr. Sill's poetry. The following " odd scrap of literary history " is de- serving of republication. "The number of ' Littell's Living Age' for March 3, 1866, contained the following item taken from the London Reader' of January 27, 1866 : ' to the 'Mngazin fur die " We aredcsindebted Anslandes Literatur and thee ' for the knowledge give peace." tenance upon thee, of whom we The assembly then joined in singing the of a rising poet in the far west, have yet heard, believe none of our readers Christian doxology, but whose name will certainly ere long be" Praise God, from whom all blessings flowV' come familiar to all lovers of true poetry. and the benediction was pronounced by Bishop Two years ago, in the midst of the great Amencan struggle between North and South, Mcllvaine. + Thus terminated the exercises of the morn- a society was formed of men residing in the ing, in which every one felt that he had come Pacific States who had been educated at any fornia, June 6th. 1865.

One physician is rcporied to have said that no case of aneurism occurs unless the patient is addicted to the use of spirituous or malt liquors, or that the use of those liquors conduces to bring on and intensifies the disease. If so, then we do not wonder at the number of sudden deaths in the community, otherwise exceedingly healthy. This is a new book, tind no doubt merits a careful perusal, for we have loaned it to one " M.

Yet he was required to attend upon the recitations of his class. Students often are required to devote their time to studies for which they have no taste. The same would be true of some if they were required to study music. This is ■ subject which we should be glad to see ably handled. It would require the compass of a volume to give it a proper discussion. We do not think Luther was less a reformer because he sung and could "compose " Old Hundred. Neither do we imagine Milton less a poet and writer of masterly prose because he loved music and could play upon an organ. Much as we admire the Puritan character of the Pilgrim Fathers and the early settlers of New England, we are far from thinking but they might have been essentially improved by more at' tcntion to music and poetry. Shakespeure may not have been quite right in saying that a man who " had no music in his soul was fit for murder" and other horrible things, still we believe that music in a good man's soul will render him vastly useful, if he will sing •' with the spirit and understanding." have not an Marquesas Islands.—By the way of Tahiti, we have received a letter from Mr. Thomas Lawson, who has resided for many years upon those islands. The letter bearsdate of Caunn, September 5, 1867. At that time the Hawaiian missionaries were well. Mr. Lawson has acquired a very intimate knowledge of the native language, and now proposes to publish a volume of hymns for the use of the native Christians. Mr. LI thusj refers to the cultivation nnd sale of cotton : "The Government (French) still continues to buy all the Sea Island cotton raised, here at 10 cents per pound. The French Mission has sold about $4,000 worth in all to a merchant at Tahiti at 6 cents per pound." The work of civilization and christianization appears to ho progressing at the Marquesas Islands. The Morning Star, it is expected, will make next another trip thither.

Having finished her work, she finally took her departure from Ebon, Marshall Islands, for Honolulu, making the passage in the uncommonly short time of twenty-eight days. On her return, she brought as passengers Mrs. Snow and two children, who expects to visit her friends in the United Slates, from whom she has been now separated seventeen years. Her husbntld remains to labor in Micronesia. She is expecting to return. Two Hawaiian missionaries also crime as passengers, viz: Rev. H. Aea und wife, fiom the Marshall Islands, where they have labored since 1860. Also, Mr. D. P. Aum.ii and wife, teachers. All these came on account of their health, and hope ere long to return. In our previous sketch we neglected to state that the two Hawaiian missionaries driven nway from Butnritnri, one of the Gilbert Islands, (where the Hawaiian seamen were murdered some eighteen months ago,) have both returned and resumed their labors under the most encouraging auspices. While the Morning Star was at Strong's Island, the harbor was also visited by the American whaleship Emma C. Jo~net, Capt. Gifford, who was accompanied by his wife and children. They entered most cordially into the missionary work. Capt. and Mrs. Giflbrd are members of the Society of Friends. Thus far 'he new Morning Star has most fully come up to the fond wishes and highest expectations of its " hundred thousand own« ers " and the numerous patrons ofthe American Board of Missions. The langtrage of Cowper, which we quoted on the arrival of the first Morning Star in 18.Y7, we again quote with renewed emphasis : Heaven speed the canvas, gallantly mifinrfol " To furnish and accommodate a world ; Ball airs ami gentle heatings of the wave Impel the ship, whose errand is to save, To succor wasted regions, and replace The smile of joy and hope, in sorrow's face.

It is certainly a grand affair for this part of the world. The entire expense must have exceeded &2.000. From what we learn, the maker in Boston deserves much credit for so faithfully filling out the order. Mr. Hunnewell and others who have interested themselves in the enterprise, may feel fully satisfied that the instrument is a grand success.

Man may die, but the church lives. When, however, man has faithfully finished his work, it matters little where the body may rest, for thus writes the Revelator John "And I iieard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord, from henceforih ; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." are now Memorials of the Rev. Edward Johnson. By the arrival of the Morning Star, the sad intelligence was announced that another of the American missionaries to these Islands had finished his earthly career. He sailed in the Morning Star as an associate delegate with Capt. Bingham to the mission churches of Micronesia. When his work was partially completed, he died of typhoid fever while the vessel was on her passage from the Gilbert Islands to the Marshall Islands. His remains were conveyed to the Island of Ebon, and there interred upon the mission premises. This is the first foreign missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. who has ever died in Micronesia. Mr. Johnson was a native of Mollis, N. H., having been born in ISI3, and hence, dying on the Ist of September, 1867, was 54 years of age. He came to these Islands in 1837, arriving with that large re-enforcement which supplied so many teachers. Waioli, on Kauai, was the station assigned to him, and there he continued to reside with his family during the entire period of his missionary life—thirty years. The early part of his life as a missionary was spent as a teacher, being associated with the Rev. Mr. Alexander. In consequence of changes and removals, it was deemed advisable that he should be ordained as the Pastor of Waioli Church. Such were his qualifications for the ministerial work, that he has officiated for many years with great usefulness, having been assisted by the efficient co-operation of his excellent wife, who survives with a family of five daughters and one son to mourn his loss. The unexpectedness of the death of Mr. Johnson renders the blow most distressing to his sorrowing family and parish. If he had died at home, bereaved and sorrowing friends and people would have borne him to his grave and paid the last sad offices over his remains, but his remains repose on the lone Island of Ebon, far, far away. For many years Mr. Johnson has been one of the pillars of the churches on the Island of Kauai. Not originally having been educated for the ministry, he has evinced traits which have admirably fitted him for usefulness among Hawaiians. As one afteranother of the early missionaries to the Islands passes away, a sad vacancy is made, but it is » matter of rejoicing that Ml so many instances native Hawaiians are prepared, by education and other qualifications, to carry forward the work of the Gospel. A most excellent Hawaiian minister now preaches in the pulpit vacated by the death of the Rev. Mr. Emerson about one year ago. No higher praise could be bestowed upon the departing and dying missionaries, and no better proof of the soundness of their teachings be adduced, than that afforded by the fact that native Hawaiian : A Convert to Foreign Missions. The Christian Register of November 30th, 1867, a weekly Unitarian newspaper published in Boston, contains the addresses of several of the leading divines of that denomination upon the subject of foreign missions. Among these addresses we find some remarks by W. T. Brigham, Esq., who recently visited these Islands and taught at Oahu College. From his remarks we copy the following paragraphs. These remarks confirm the oft-repeated sentiment that foreign travel will liberalize the mind and tend to make men more charitable in their opinions. In our intercourse with foreign visitors, how often we have met persons on landing full of narrow-minded prejudice against missionaries and good people, but upon leaving we have noticed that their minds have undergone an entire change. All, however, are not so honest, generous and frank as Mr. Brigham to recant their opinions and make a full confession before a Boston audience. " I confess to you that, four years ago, I believed, as many Unitarians believed, that foreign missions were useless and absurd ; or, at least, were only useful to teach people how to open their purses. I thought that missionaries were a fanatical, narrow-minded set of men, who could get no parishes or societies at home, and went off to foreign lands because they seemed to have no other work. But a residence of a year and a half on the Hawaiian Islands was enough and more than enough to undeceive me. 1 found there a band of missionaries who, in about forty years, have raised a whole people from the lowest depths of barbarism to a civilized condition that we might be proud of in New England. I had heard so many stories of the deceit, hypocrisy and tyranny that these missionaries practiced upon the unsophisticated natives, that I really believed them. I that the world has ever seen, perhaps, and might be the text for very many sermons; but I think it is familiar to you all. After that, wherever I went I looked-for the" missionaries. I lound the Presbyterians, the Congregationalists, the Episcopalians, the Baptists, all with their men in the field. Rome, too, was sending her devoted bands, working nobly. But from the time I left Boston, with the single exception of Starr King's dying sermon, I heard no Unitarian preaching, and I saw no Unitarian missionaries, until, two years afterwards, 1 tracked through the crooked streets of Calcutta into a dark, narrow lane, where the American Unitarian Association has its solitary mission."

Wonderful changes have during this time taken place in the moral and religious condition of all the inhabitants of the East Pacific, and neat advance lias been made on the heuthen darkness of the Western part of this ocean. results have been achieved, and great impetus has been gained for the work which still remains. The whole Christian world is drawing rapidly together in the bands of Union, and the time must certainly be near when the various evangelical branches of the Christian church laboring in the Island World may well come together for conference. Such a meeting will be of great advantage in securing a combined statement of results, in more distinctly bringing out the various methods of labor, and in more clearly indicating what still remains to be done and it will also give opportunity for conferring together regarding the points where our several organizations meet in the natural expansion of their work. But above all, it will impart strength to our Redeemer's Cause by drawing nil together in Love and Union. As henthenism gives way, new forms of evil rise, some of which, under the garb and name of Christianity, tend to undermine our labors. We need the strength and the stimulus of n Union which shall promote the healthy rivalry of Love. It is therefore proposed by the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association that a Convention of Evangelical Missionaries be held in Honolulu during the month of June, 1870. The Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association is held in Honolulu in June, at which time there are assembled nearly fifty native and foreign ministers, which is the largest body of pastors in the Pacific. Honolulu is perhaps better able to entertain the numerous foreign and aboriginal representatives from other missions and groups which we hope will gather at that time, than any other place in the Pacific ; and situated as it is on the lines of commerce, Honolulu may prove to be as easy of access to the whole of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia as any point which can be named. As the year 1870 is the semi-centennary anniversary of the Hawaiian Mission, it is but natural that the Convention of Missionaries should be connected with an event of such general interest. It is proposed that as many of the Foreign Evangelical Missionaries of the Pacific attend the Convention as can make it convenient. We would also suggest that two or three of the leading native Christians—ministers or laymen—of each important group be selected by the several missions to attend as honorary members. Arrangements will it is hoped be made with the Parent Societies, by which the several missionary vessels may bring the delegates of their various missions to the Convention. We shall even hope that deputations from the European and American Societies engaged in this ocean will attend the Convention. We would also suggest to each mission that it appoint individuals of their number to prepare essays to be submitted to the Convention on the most important of such missionary topics as may seem to them of general interest; such essays to be forwarded, ■even should the authors be unable to attend.

First Voyage of the new "Morning Star" to Micronesia. » [KKI-OKT OF UKI.KtIATK To TUX HAWAIIAN IIOARII. | The new Morning Star left Honolulu on her first voyage to Micronesia on the afternoon of Monday, July Ist, 1867. She anchored the next day about noon in Hanalei Bay, where she was welcomed by Mr. Johnson nnd his people. Quite a number of donations in the way of provisions were made by the friends ol the vessel. She sailed again the same evening, having taken on board Mr. Johnson. lithnl at V.nltlbu. Owing to not a few days of light winds, it was not till midnight of the 21st (or in reality of the 20th, as wo had no Saturdny) that we sighted Wnitibu (Tracy's Island), one of the Ellice Group, in lat. 7° 28' S., long. 178 ° 44' E-, about one hundred miles to the eastward of Nui (Netherlands Island)—the latter being the first point at which we were instructed to touch. As there was scarce a probability of our being able to reach Nui the next day in time to go ashore, it seemed good to the delegates to remain near Waitibu till morning, especially as the Captain wns desirous of accurately rating his chronometers. We hoped, too, to have some intercourse with the people, and to learn whether as vet a Samoan native missionary had been left among them. Intercourse with the Pf*|ile. At an early hour the noxt day four canoes put out for the vessel. On board one of these was an umbrella, and we felt that civilization must have already commenced its work. Much to our joy we were soon boarded by Pen, a native missionary from Samoa. From him we learned that he had been on the island one year and eight months ; that the inhabitants were three hundred and eightyfour; that half of them had already destroyed their idols and embraced Christianity, and that all the children and younger people had learned to read ; that their language was the same with the Samoan ; that quite a number were hopefully converted, whom he expected to baptize in case he was so advised, when visited by their missionary vessel. Our short visit on shore deepened our impression of the blessed work so well commenced. A large and well-built church some filty-seven feet by thirty-six, with jts neat polpit, built by �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1868. 18 the gratuitous lal>or of the natives, was an object of special interest j and the large and scrupulously neat dwelling of the teacher was a model for the docile and quiet people about him. Pen spoke English; and though his wife could not converse directly with us, yet her intelligent face, warm welcome and very tidy appearance gave us a pleasing idea of what the Samoan female missionaries might generally be. The fluency of the readers and their independence in singing were truly gratifying. We found several people from Nui speaking the Gilbert Island language, who were able to read readily in the new hooks which we brought outfrom Boston and Honolulu. You can imagine my pleasant surprise at seeing a copy of a reprint of our little hymn book, done at Samoa for the benefit of the Nui people, and also one of the sixty-four original copies of the Gospel of John printed on letter paper on our little press at Apaiang in 1864. It was no little pleasure to Mrs. Bingham to find two Nui women able to read fluently in our new books, who had been instructed by two of her ownl pupils. We shall not soon forget this delightful visit; though the contrast of one year and eight months' missionary labor here with those of six years and a half at Apaiang could not be otherwise than—l had almost said—painful. Tbe Island of Waitibu is three or four miles long, and one in width. Like the Gilbert Islands, it produces nothing but the cocoanut and pandanus and a species of taro. In the centre is a beautiful lagoon with no visible connection with the sea. Through inquiry we learned from Pen that neither food nor money were sent them from abroad, but only clothing and some utensils. A visit at this island would doubtless greatly benefit our Hawaiian missionaries. Our own impressions are delightful. Visit at Nil. at the other a spacious room some forty feet by thirty, built for and used as church and school-house. While all appeared neat, yet no comparison could be made between this building and the two at Waitibu of which I have spoken; but when we remember that the whole building was erected by the gratuitous labors of a tribe in whose veins freely flowed the Gilbert Island blood, we will give them great credit for what they have done. While in the sitting-room we were visited by the King, who called to present several hundred green cocoanut3, which were brought in and piled up in the middle of the room by quite a retinue of men, who all came up to shake hands with us. In the meantime the chapel had been filled so quietly by a crowd of people, that their presence was not suspected till a glimpse through a crevice in the partition revealed the pleasing sight. When we were ushered in. at the request of Mr. Johnson, the Cap'.ain, as chief speaker from a knowledge of the language, took the great pulpit-chair, home-made, in front of which Lwas a stand. Back of it were hung a written Tist of rules of decorum for the house, and a line of slates. On either side were provided settees, furnishing seats for the strangers and for the King. On the right, as we faced the audience, were a large number of well-dressed women, with their hair nicely parted and arranged (the usual Gilbert Island fashion being to allow the hair to hang down over the forehead), while the men, suitably clothed, occupied on the left, and the children immediately in front. These too were all in a measure clothed. Some two hundred, nearly the entire population of the island, were present. At a word from their teacher, passage after passage from the primer, printed at Honolulu in 1865, such as the stories of Cain and Abel, the offering of Isaac, the deluge, Jesus at the well (quoted from John), the child's catechism of twenty-four questions and answers, and a catechism of seventy-five questions and answers on the Christian religion, the Lord's Prayer, the ten commandments, Confession of Faith and Covenant, were repeated with the most surprising fluency and unison. During the exercises they also recited a part of the fifth of Matthew, and, had we desired it, their teacher informed us they could have rehearsed eleven chapters of Matthew. The substance of Mr. Murray's letter to Mr. Bingham was stated to the people, and the reason for our visit. The books were then arranged upon the table, and the examination of pupils in reading commenced. As we could not spare books enough to give one of each kind to every reader, the plan was adopted «f giving the preference to such as exhibited the greatest proficiency in the art. The number of fluent readers, both of men, women and children, was perfectly surprising ; and the rapidity with which they would turn to any chapter and verse in the gospels of Matthew and John, and the epistle to the Ephesians, to any chapter of the Bible Stories, in editions which they had never before seen, showed how thorough had been their drill, and how eager their zeal for learning. Their exercises in singing were also pleasant. Hours more might have been delightfully passed, but time was tailing us. Each pupil was furnished with at least one We sailed at two the same day, and were off Nui (Netherlands or Eeg Island) early the next morning. This island is in lat. 7 ° 27' S., long. 177 15' E. Three other islands of Ellice's Group lie between this island and the Gilbert Group, each containing a population of three hundred, but speaking the language of Waitibu and Samoa, while the inhabitants of Nui speak tbe Gilbert Island language. Nui is distant from Arorae, the nearest of the Gilbert Islands, two hundred and sixty nautical miles, and five hundred and ninety from Apaiang. On board the first canoe which visited the vessel was a native of Apaiang who had been much in the employ of the missionaries on that island. His pleasure at the re-union was very noticeNot long after, we were boarded by [irisome, a Samoan teacher who was left on lis island by the missionary vessel Dayspring i November, 1865. He could not speak English, but conversed with us with remarkble ease in the language of the people. We fere much surprised at the proficiency which c had made in the language during his hort stay. Taking with us the books which ,c proposed leaving, we accompanied him to lie shore. We were met by a large group f natives, "clothed and in theirright minds." Ye went directly to the missionary's house, loticing with pleasure, as we passed, a sustended bell. In one end of the building were book. Of readers Kirisome furnished the wo rooms, a sitting-room and bed-room, and following statistics: of boys and girls, 26; * Ible. men, 35 ; women, 46 ; total, 107. During the whole exercises, not a breach of decorum nor a sign of weariness was observed. Their behavior was unexceptionable. These exercises were closed by addresses from the delegates, singing and prayer. We learned that there were twenty-seven women and nineteen men whom Kirisome regarded as truly the friends of Jesus, and who were candidates for baptism. With most of these we held an informal interview, assuring them of our Christian love. Among them were the Apaiang native of whom mention has been made and his wife, also the King of the island, Taukie. The readiness of the latter in repeating the catechism was noticed with much satisfaction by both delegates. As we crossed the flat on our return to the boat, he kept us company, and upon parting, urged the Captain to come again. Thus ended one of the happiest days of our lives. We had been permitted to see a people " born in a day." Not two years since the first Christian missionary came to dwell amongst them, and from the first have they furnished him and his family all necessary food without pay. One Christian feeds them one day, another another, and if by any means there is a failure, near neighbors see that the missionary and his wife and child have something to eat. The island produces no breadfruit, a poor variety of pandanus, scarcely edible, a species of taro, a little sugar-cane, and an abundance of cocoanuts. One or two banana trees were noticed ; and yet this missionary depends on no provisions from abroad. He seemed happy and contented in his work, hardly knowing when he should be visited by an English missionary. W hat a model for our Hawaiian missionaries! Withreference to the work on Nui, it is no more than justice to state that previous to the arrival of a missionary, not a little religious instruction had been given the people by a Mr. Robert Waters, an English trader. Mtssluoar) Explorations—Tamana. On Sunday morning, July 28th, we reached the Island of Tamana (Chase's or Kotch's Island), lat. 2° 32'S, long. 176° 9'E., the winds and currents not permitting us to touch at the windward islands Arorae and Nukunau. It was not long before some hundred and fifty people came off to us in their boats, most eager to exchange their commodities for tobacco. They seemed greatly disappointed that the Morning Star was not a tobacco trader, and that our observance of the Sabbath did not allow of any trading whatever on that day. Inquiry was made of tbe first canoe that reached us whether missionaries would be welcomed among them. The reply was made that they would not be, because their gods would be angry, and the people would dieof sickness. No one seemed to be recognized as king, and we found it difficult to know with whom to converse on the subject of our errand. While most of the men who boarded us were entirely nude, two or three were clothed in shirts and pants ; and by one of these we were invited on shore and kindly entertained. We met some two hundred of the people in the council-house (among whom many were children), and told them of the object of our mission. The Gospel sot Desired. We went also to another council-house in �19 THE FRIEND, MARCH, 18*8. another part of the island, but failed to induce an elderly man of acknowledged importance to be present to give us a hearing in (he big house. We were eventually conducted by a man who professed to be his son, to the father's residence. A worried face showed that-our presence was not desired. He however listened to our statements, and made some inquiries respecting what effect missionary teachings would have upon the ancient customs of the people. His superstitious fears prevailed, and he could not be induced to give his consent to the residence of missionaries among his people. The change which came over his frowning face when we proposed to take our departure was most noticeable. We greatly pitied the old man who in his darkness rejected the offer of the blessed Gospel for himself and his people. The man who invited us ashore assured us that lie himself would receive a missionary and would furnish a piece of land. The Island of Tamann, is some three or four miles long, about half a mile broad, has no lagoon, and can be approached on all sides, as there are no sunken reefs. The productions of the-island are quite similar to those of the GilbertIslands in general. There may be five or six hundred people. No white man is living ashore, no vessels regularly trade with the people. In the hands of a young man we found a small book containing the names of some such. The last was the ship Julian, which touched there February 9th, 1867, having taken sixty barrels of sperm oil since leaving Honolulu. Onotoa. At the meeting were gathered some' three hundred people in a house one hundred and twenty feet by sixty. After some statements from the delegates and Mr. Waters, Te Toanimatang arose and addressed the elders, speaking favorably of our object, to which address there was a general response of approbation. The way seems open for the speedy occupation of this island. Teri. On the 31st of July we reached the Island of Peru. As at Onotoa, we were soon surrounded by a fleet of canoes, and our decks crowded with noisy savages, many of whose bodies bore marks of severe cuts. They were all very earnest in their inquiries for tobacco, and could hardly be made to believe that the delegates and ladies did not deal in it. Scarce a man wore any covering whatever; the women wore the usual fringe skirt of the Gilbert Islands. The island was smaller than Onotoa—not more than ten miles long. There was no boat passage into the shallow lagoon, and from Mr. Meader, a Massachusetts man who had been living ashore manyyears, we learned that a landing could not be effected in a boat, except at high water, on account of the rocky nature of the reef, and that he had never known a vessel to anchor during his residence. He estimated the population at between three and four thousand ; said that he had counted two thousand in a gathering. The estimate seems much too large. It would not be surprising if it did not exceed fifteen hundred. It was too late to go on shore and return before dark; the weather was squally, and we could not be near enough in to avail ourselves of the morning tide; and after a full consultation it was decided to bear away for Tapiteuea, as the Captain did not deem it best to calculate upon spending a night ashore while the current was strong, and the possibility of the vessel's drifting away being greut, and as Mr. Johnson did not think it worth while to land alone. Both the natives and Mr. Meader said that there was no acknowledged king, and the latter that the people were a lawless mob ; that the northern portion of the island was a bedlam from the use of the fermented toddy. Those natives to whom the proposition of a missionary's coming among them was made, seemed pleased, and Mr. Meader thinks no opposition would be made. Doubtless many trials would be met with among so rude a people, but none such as should deter a missionary of the cross of Christ from going among them to tell them of the great salvation. If the experiences on ship-board be any index, a missionary's wife would be likely to meet with not a little rudeness. On the next morning, July 29th, we reached Onotoa (Clark's Island), distant about forty miles N. N. W. This proved to be a much longer island, being some twelve miles in length, having a lagoon, bordered by a reef on the western side, with a good boat channel near the centre. We anchored at the extreme western point of the reef, some six miles from the main land, but afterwards learned that there was good anchorage in a bay on the north-west side, much nearer. The bay is readily distinguished from the mast-head. We were soon surrounded by fifty canoes, which brought off cocoanuts, mats, cocoanut molasses, shells and women, in exchange for which they plead for tobacco. We lost no time in assuring them that ours was a missionary ship. Mr. Waters, of whom we have spoken, welcomed us ashore. He is at present employed by Capt. Randell to collect oiland beche dc meron this island. We found him to be a man of more than ordinary intelligence, and quite disposed to favor our object. He had recently succeeded in inducing the natives to give up the use of Ttpltetea. the fermented cocoanut toddy. He estimates On the 2d of August we anchored on the their number at between twelve and fourteen hundred. leeward or west side of Tapiteuea (DrumThe Gospel VYfiremed. mond's Island), near the north end. This is At his house we met Te Toanimatang, an one of the longest and most populous of the elderly chief whom Mr. Waters regarded as Gilbert Islands. From a Mr. Macpherson in second to none in influence upon the island. the employ of Capt. Kandell & Co., we learned His pleasant smile as we talked with him that there was no acknowledged head.

The elderly men seemed much gratified with what we had to say, and with a good degree of enthusiasm expressed their readiness to receive missionaries amongst them, and to give up their ancient gods for the only true Jehovah. While the Captain was speaking, one of the old men rose to his feet, took his station near the speaker, and interrupted by calling upon the people to put away their gods, and accept the God that wns then offered to them. Some said, " We have been waiting for you to come." Children seemed quite numerous. A wide door is open here which should be entered without delay. On.some portions of the island more or less drunkenness exists. On the north point the people seem generally to have listened to the advice of Mr. Macpherson to abandon the use ofthe sour toddy. HMbbbw The next day, August 3d, we anchored off" the south end of Nonouti (Sydenham's Island), on the west side. No natives came off in their canoes, but we were soon boarded by Mr. Lowth&r, an English trader. He said that he had bad news for us in our work ; that a white man, Sullivan by name, an Irishman, had been murdered on the island last March, and the fear of the natives was the reason they did not come off; that there was a great deal of drunkenness,*and that ho meant lo leave the island as soon as Capt. Randell should touch. He estimated the population nSnhout two thousand five hundred ; he said that many had perished by the famine, and murders were very numerous ; that ihere was no king. Noisy Reception by a Drunken Nob. We visited the council-house on the south end of the island that same afternoon, but the noise and confusion of the drunken rabble made it almost impossible to hold intercourse with the elderly men. A fight was breaking out between two of the number, and we improved the opportunity for withdrawing. So far as they had listened, they seemed gratified with our errand. More Enfonr»(rlnn Welreme >t Another Villain. The next day being the Sabbath, we visited the most populous part of the island, some six miles further north. Mr. Lowther accompanied us in his boat, and showed us much kindness. Some three hundred and seventy-five assembled in the council-house, most all of whom were quiet and orderly. Just as the Captain was commencing to address them, a drunken man sprang up, exclaiming, in substance, " What does all this mean ?" He was soon led out by his companions, and no more such interruptions occurred. Wa spent most of the day in this place, finding the people eager for instruction, and ready 10 welcome a missionary as soon as one should come among them. While they were being urged to embrace the religion of Jesus, a listener exclaimed, " Who will teach us ? " Here indeed seemed to be another door open for the immediate entrance of the servants of the Lord. Our hearts were very much cheered, and our great regret .was that we had no teacher to leave among them at the present time. Had time permitted, we could have profitably srent several* days on the island, and as well also on Tupiteuea. Two missionaries for each of these islands, �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1868. 20 and also for Onotoa, should be supplied without delay. The next morning we sailed for Apemama, stepping to explore the passage into the lagoon on the west side of Nonouti. We penetrated to about the centre of the lagoon, when shoals and rocks seemed to make it doubtful whether the Morning Star could conveniently upproach nearer than three or four miles to the shore of the lagoon on the weather side, where the inhabited parts of the island are generally found. i»n's Apenam*..

But in our dreadful suspense our ever I merciful Heavenly Father sent the favoring puff,and slowly the vessel started ahead, and we were once more in safety upon the deep. | We anchored that evening in the Tarawa lagoon, and were boarded by our brethren, Mahoe and Haina, about half-past seven, though we were some eight miles from their station. Our mutual joy at meeting was great. The next day (Saturday) we beat up to Tapiang, and remnined there till Wednesday morning. On the Sabbath we attended worship at three places, addressing congregations of fifty or sixty. These were naturally larger than usual. On Monday the brethren und sisters held an examination of their pupils in a school-house near their dwellings, at which King Kourupi appeared conspicuous, in proficiency, among some thirteen readers, though a son of his, some sixteen years old, was most fluent of all. This son also wrote with considerable ease. Of the thirteen readers some were but beginners. fn geography the King passed the best cxamimitioii. Not one of the pupils is as yet regarded as hopefully converted. Tuesday was occupied by the mission families in preparing to attend the general meeting at Apaiang ; and that evening the four parents and nine children and one boarding pupil (a half-caste girl in the family of Haina) were on board in readiness for an early departure in the morning. Apaiang. Unfavorable winds, calms and currents prevented our arrival at the station on Apaiang before the forenoon of Friday. We were boarded by Aumai and Kapu miles before we reached the station, in the little Alfred, in which I was so often wont to go dancing over the waves to meet and welcome the old Meriting Star on her annual visits. The welcome from the brethren was most cordial, and it was with feelings of not a little emotion that we once more landed on the island where most of our missionary life had been spent. Surely none had greater occasion for gratitude than we, when we looked back upon what we had passed through since we left Apaiang in feebleness in June, 186-1. During our absence of three years two had been I added to the church, the Kingund a domestic of his, both of whom were regarded as can- ] ditlates for baptism before our departure. This domestic (loane by name) seemed greatly rejoiced to meet us again, and the tears which (ell from his eyes were what we hardly ever expected to see on the cheeks ot a Gilbert Islander from such a cause. That evening a meeting was held with reference to the examination of five candidates—three men and two women, which examination, on the whole, was satisfactory. It was proposed to baptize them upon the return of the Morn- Several were able to write ; some answered questions in geography. There were also recitations from the catechism.

On Sunday morning at the close of service, in the chapel at Koinawas before the sßcramenp of the Lord's Supper, the King made a confession of sin. Joseph also did likewise. The latter, who had lieen for a long time a wanderer, was not then restored, hut was encouraged to persevere in his repentance. The Queen has ever remained faithful.

In the afternoon Mr. Johnson, Kapu ami Haina went to (lie out-station at Ewena to hold service, in which they were assisted by loane. Some of us went in an opposite direction to Aonobuaka. On Monday morning General Meeting was organized and proceeded to business. The meeting adjourned Wednesday afternoon. Religious exercises were held in the morning of each day. As I full report of this meeting will be forwarded by the Secretary to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, it will not be necessary for me to enter much into detail. With respect to salaries, the general feeling seemed to lie that the present amount was not sufficient to enable those with large families comfortably to support them. 1 especially recommend the cases of Haina and Mahoe to the consideration of the Board. Toward the close of the session on Wednesday, us the meeting was about adjourning, Mr. Johnson spoke of feeling poorly, left his chair, and took a reclining position on the settee. Drtstfc (if Mnrtlm Hiiliur. Mahoe's little girl Martha was also at this time unwell, having symptoms of dysentery. Our plan was to have sailed on Thursday, and to have left the Tarawa families at the north end of that island, to proceed the rest of the way in their new boat. The illness of the child, however, required new arrangements. She grew rapidly worse, und it was Mahoe's desire to return by the Morning Star to his own home. We sailed Friday morning, and reached our anchorage under Tapiang before noon the next day. At 2, P. M., the little one breathed her last on board the Morning Star. A little coffin was made on board, and on Snbbath forenoon we took the remains on .shore for burial. Mr. Johnson's continued illness prevented his accompanying us. A prayer was offered in Mahoe's house; funeral services were held at the church, nnd the little one was laid to rest in the yard of the house where she had often played. Mahoe seemed very grateful for all tho kindness which had been shown during the sickness and death of his child. On Monday morning we shoultl have sailed for Butaritari, but the approach of Capt. Randell led us to defer sailing lor a day, that we might have a full interview with him in reference to the massacre on that island in June, 1866. He ascribed it mainly to the effect of strong drink. ing Star from Ponape. At this meeting also, Sarah, one of the early converts, residing of late on Tarawa, nnd who had come over with us for the purpose, took occasion to make confession of sin, and having expressed her determination to return again to her Saviour, was, by vote of the church, restored to full fellowship.

The King was absent at �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1868. Makin, some twenty miles distant, the ocean channel being however about two miles wide. The next morning Atimai set out in a little canoe to inform the King of our arrival, and that the Captain was the bearer of dispatches from His Majesty Kamehameha Y. to him- self, and to invite him to return to his capital, that the letter might be put into his hands and translated for him. He declined to come, alleging that his father (or uncle) was near to death, and he could not leave him, but commissioned his brother to return with Autnai and receive the letter in his place. They reached the Morning Star early in the forenoon of Saturday. Though Mr. Johnson had gone, unassisted, on top of the after house to lie down, he did not notice their arrival. The brother of the King listened to the letter from Kamehameha, and through my pen acknowledged its reception, stating that his brother would prepare a reply against our return from Ponape. He was anxious that we should remain till after the Sabbath, that we might hold service in their church. He wished us also to visit the house of Kanoa, the keys of which were in his possession. Mr. Johnson, however, felt thnt we had done what we could, and, on account of his severe illness, desired that we should delay no longer, but take* our anchor and make as .speedily as possible for Ebon. Being advised, on the approach of rain, to seek rest below, before help could be obtained for him, he came down to the sofa in the cabin. He kindly gave his hand to the brother of the King, and apologized for his apparent indifference, laying to me something like this, in Hawaiian, " Ua ike paha in i ka mai." I assured him that I had stated to the chief his state of health. Death of Mr. Johnson. 'While I was busy getting the vessel under way, he retired to his room, as it subsequently proved, lor the last time. During the evening he seemed quite indisposed to reply to questions put to him, and my fears were greatly confirmed, which I hail expressed to him in the morning of the previous day, that his symptoms were not those of simpie diarrhea, but of typhoid fever. Late in the evening of this day (Saturday) lie got out of in bearing them to their last resting place near the spot where our brother and sister Doanc once buried their little Georgie. The mission families at Ebon we found in their usual health, except Aea, who, at the suggestion of Mr. Snow in a letter, joined the vessel for the purpose of recruiting at Kusaie. Jalnij. On the 4th of September we sailed for Juluij, but in getting under way had the misfortune to part our chain and lose our anchor, the bottom being a foul one, and the buoy being carried under by the current. In the forenoon of Friday, the 6th, we anchored in the lagoon of Jaluij near the mission station. We found Kapali and his wife quite ready to see the Morning Star. Their means of sustenance were somewhat limited. Tamara's health was by no means good. We attended their Friday evening prayer meeting, nnd a school examination early the next morning. The pupils however were few, owing doubtless in great part to the isolation of the spot which had been chosen as a missionary station. Want of wind prevented us from sailing thnt day, and we remained until the next Monday morning. Some eighty natives assembled for worship on Sunday morning, being probably the greater portion resident on the neighboring islets. The station does not seem well located with reference to nearness to the most populous portions of this great though not thickly inhabited island. A good work has been commenced, and we found no disposition on the part of Kapali to abandon it. Perhaps the location, all things considered, is the best for working the whole island. Xamrrik. On onr way to Namerik we made a detour to Ebon for the sake of recovering, if possible, the lost anchor, which lay in some ten fathoms of water. After two days of labor, and a final parting of four parts of a large rope, passed by the aid of divers under the chain, they not feeling able to reach the anchor, we gave up the attempt and sailed for Namerik, which we reached Saturday morning, September 14th. We found our brother and sister Kaelemakule and wife in cjmfortable health, and were welcomed on shore by a large number of pupils, many of ..liom were ready, with donations of fowls, to assist the Morning Star. We sailed the same day for Kusaie. purposing an examination of Kaelemakule's flourishing school on the return of the Morning Star from the his benh, an upper one, unassistt 1, for a few moments ; and still later, sat up for a moment in his berth.

Several of ihein assisted of Ron Kiti harbor, Ponape, on the afternoon ' 21 of th 25th,but did not succeed in enterinS till the next day. Mr. Snow and family, however, with others, landed before dark, being met by brethren Sturges and Doane, Mr. Sturges returning with his daughter Hattic to tbe shore, and Mr. Doane continuing on lo welcome those of us who remained on the vessel. We reached our anchorage in safety the next morning, it being just ten years to a day since the old Morning Star first anchored in one of the harbors of Ponape. Here we remained eight days, being wind-bound one day. The American missionaries, after an interim of five years, were permitted to hold another general meeting. Having taken on board Mr. Doane's effects, and also himself, wife and son, Mrs. Sturges Snd two children, we sailed for the Poitik harbor on the north side of the island. Mr. Sturges, accompanied by Mr. Snow, went by canoe. We came to an anchorage, such as it was, on the 6th of October. Two days later the wind favored,and we moved farther up the harbor to a more convenient anchorage. Visit from a Christian High Thief. The same dny we were visited by Hezekiah, the Uajai of the Meterlanim tribe, and his people, who brought with them expressions of their love and interest in the form of yams and sugar-cane,bananas, pigs and fowls. After inspecting portions of the vessel they assembled on top of the after house, where the Uajai spoke some words of welcome, and the people sang some of the songs of Zion. We could not but look upon the occasion as a hopeful sign for Ponape; and so also#pon that of the dedication of a church at Ova on the north-east side of the island, on October 10th, at nn out-station where Mr. Sturges and family spent several months of the last year. On Sunday morning our eyes were greeted with the largest congregation which it had been our privilege to see in Micronesia. About four hundred people were present, who gave good attention during the entire service. Prayer meetings were well attended ; and at a prayer meeting of the native brethren several of the chiefs took part. The church is conveniently located near Mr. Doane's new house, and easily accessible at almost any state of the tide. The new mission premises seem to be well chosen. Surely brother Doane has a wide door of usefulness open before him. The general meeting of the American missionaries adjourned Tuesday afternoon to meet at Ebon in 1868, if the Lord will. Ketorn to Knsxie. The Morning Star put to sea on tbe evening of the 16th, and came to anchor near the mission station in the weather harbor of Kusaie on ihe morning of the 21st. Iledieation of* Stone fhareh. The dedication of the new stone church on the 24th was an occasion of much interest to the people, and the many visitors from the Morning Star will be likely to remember with pleasure the taste displayed in the decorations of the church with flowersand leaves. The audience of some two hundred were well dressed, and every stranger present, as he looked upon tbe walls of solid masonry, and heard the sweet singing, and marked the attentive eyes and listening ears, must have felt that the Gospel had had " free course and been glorified " on this lovely isle of the Pacific. It was with much pleasure that upon �* 22 T H X FRIKMI, the morning of the next Lord's day we sat with some hundred and fifty of these converted heathen (nine of whom were baptized that day), in the same place, at the Lord's table, to commemorate His dying love. On the following day, October 28th, we were to have sailed, but head winds prevented our final departure until Saturday morning, the 2d of November, when, assisted by six native canoes and the King's boat, besides our own two boats, we safely reached the open sea ; though had we been ten minutes later, the head wind which sprung up would have greatly imperiled us, as it did on a former occasion. Brtarn to Kbon. Light winds and calms made our passage to Ebon nine days long. Ftvored by a westerly breeze, on the morning of November 11th we entered the lagoon of Ebon by its only passage, and found safe anchorage for taking on board some two hundred and th.rty barrels of cocoanut oil as freight. Wind-bound by the prevalence of westerly winds, we availed ourselves of the opportunity to recover our lost anchor, to the fluke of which a native diver succeeded in making fast a large rope, at the depth of ten fathoms. The Sabbath services at the mission station were well attended. The Sabbath-school seemed in a flourishing condition ; and the amount of oil liken on board the Morning Star from the sale of books and contributions at the monthly concerts showed an interest in Biblical instruction, and a desire to impart it tcastthers, which were very gratifying. A donation of about fifty fowls for the benefit of the Morning Star was thankfully received. On Friday afternoon, November 22d, Mr. Snow brought off some fifty-two of the Christian party in his new boat to visit the Morning Star. The next day the wind enabled us to put to sea. Retirn to Namerik. In We reached Namerik on Monday, the 25th. attempting to land, a party of us were upset in the surf. Mrs. Bingham escaped without injury, but I received a severe blow on the head either from an oar or the gunwale of the boat. Our Heavenly Father graciously preserved us from serious accident. Our thorough soaking did not entirely prevent us from attending the examination of Kaelemakule's school. The fluency of many of them in reading showed much drill. They were examined in Bible questions, arithmetic and geography. The progress made at this island during the short residence of missionaries is very cheering, and should stimulate our Hawaiian young men to engage in the blessed work of preaching the Gospel to every creature. The coming on of night, and light winds and strong currents made it desirable that we should reach the vessel in a single boat-load, but the heavy surf rendered it almost impossible for a full load to get through in safety. And so, while some of us whitefaced ones, Mr. Snow, Mrs. Bingham and myself, found it necessary to abide by the boat, our Hawaiian brethren and sisters, Aea, Aumai, Mauli, Kaelemakule and KaumeaUani, plunged through the dashing waves to join us beyond where they lifted their heads to thunder in white foam upon the reef. MARCH, 1808. same day the Marshall Island mission organized, Kapali being chosen Moderatar, and Kaelemnkule Scribe. The mission voted to approve of the return of Aea and his family to the Sandwich Islands by the present trip of the Morning Star, for the benefit of his own health and that of one of his children. It was also voted that Kapali and his wife remove for the present year to Ebon to assist Mr. Snow in the place of Aea, with the expectation that they return to Jaluij next year. To expedite the cruise of the Morning Star, in the afternoon of the same day the mission voted to adjourn their sessions to Ebon, for the discussion of minor points which remained. These did not seem to be such as to require the presence of your surviving delegate ; and so, landing passengers for Ebon on the afternoon of Saturday, November MOth, the Morning Star sailed the same evening for the Gilbert Islands. Return to Ipalans. The next Saturday afternoon we came to anchor in the lagoon of Apaiang under the mission premises. On the following Sabbath one man and two women of Apaiang and a young man who had been living with Kanoa on Kusaie were baptized and received to the church of Apaiang by Kapu. Two native couples were married, one by Kapu and one by Kanoa, both of the latter couple having once lived in Kanoa s family when resident on Apaiang. On Monday Kapu went by boat to Tarawa to call Mahoe and Haina. A donation to the Morning Star from the Christian party was made the same day, consisting of one pig, chickens, cocoanuts and one pandanus fruit. The donation, it is true, was small in comparison with those received at other islands, but when we remember that it was from Apaiang, we may certainly rejoice in it as a hopeful indication. Our Tarawan brethren reached us about noon the next day, having left Tapiang Monday evening, and beat against a head wind all night. In the afternoon of the same day the Morning Star was visited by a portion of the Christian party. Owing to work on sails, we did not leave Apaiang until Thursday, and then, escorting Mahoe and Haina to the north end of Tarawa, we left them to the house would afford accommodation for the Tarawan brethren when passing through this village on their tours round the island. The present interesting state of things on Tarawa made some misgivings in my mind about the removal of Mahoe ; but as Aumai had not been sufficiently benefited by his trip to the westward to make it well for him to remain on Apaiang, it seemed best on the whole for Mahoe to take charge of the Apaiang station until the next general meeting, especially as Haina felt able to carry on the work at Tapiang and vicinity. Retnrn to Botarltarl. On Saturday morning, December 14th, we reached our anchorage in the lagoon of Butaritari, and found nothing to hinder the landing of Kanoa and Maka and their families that same day. The King and his brother were however absent at the most western islet. Kanoa and Maka found everything safe in their houses, except that a barrel of hard bread belonging to Kanoa had been consumed by the worms,and a garment which had fallen on his floor had rotted. Sabbath morning an audience of about eighty assembled in the chapel, and gave good attention. 1 was much gratified with the fluency with which some of the men read in the Sabbath- school. On Monday morning Na Teitei, the brother of the King, visited the Morning Star with a message from the King for Kamehameha respecting the massacre. This I put upon paper for him, to which he was able to sign his name. The substance of it was that the King and another brother had slain the Hawaiians when intoxicated, and thnt tho King had been stirred up to the deed by Joseph ; that a cousin of the King's had been insulted when on board the Pfeil by the Captaig's throwing a cocoanut shell at him ; that this had angered the King; but had he not been drunk, he would not have committed murder. We were ready for sea on Monday afternoon, but we had not sufficient wind to get under way until the next morning. By this delay we learned the interesting fact that a number of the people came to Kanoa's house that Monday evening, eager for instruction. Among them was Na Teitei. Little Hattie Kanoa, who had been (ill quite a number of days with fever, showed no signs of improvement up to the time of complete their voyage with a fair wind, in their new boat, nicely painted and well-rigged by themselves. The tidings which they brought Irom Tarawa were not a little cheer- sailing. The passage to Ebon of some two huning.

It raged violently for several days. The precise locality, as near as could be ascertained, was 169° 25' west longitude, and 14° 15' south latitude. Smoke, ashes, mud and water were thrown up many hundred feet into the air. What was remarkable, although the Samoa or Navigators' Islands are volcanic, yei no volcanoes have been active for many ages, but on this occasion so violent was the action, that fish Hnd sea monsters were killed and thrown upon the neighboring islands. Some of the monsters were six and eight feet long, such as were never seen before by the natives. The Key. Dr. Turner, of Upolu, thus writes MARCH, IMiS.

APRIL I. 1808. Newspaperial Gossip. Among our exchanges we notice great improvements in the style and character of several. For example, the Pacific, of San Francisco, is greatly enlarged and improved. It is a live paper, aggressive and spirited. Somebody connected with the concern uses the scissors to good purpose, while the original matter is terse, pointed and direct. The Boston Congregationalist and Recorder is the best specimen of Puritanism that floats in this direction. It is beautifully printed, and very readable. The reader is not compelled to look twice before he can discern the words. The New York Independent is very independent, and a little waspish ; but for vigor, life, out-spokenism, and many good qualities, and an occasional one not quite so good, we are free to confess that it is a very prince of newspapers. No man will go to sleep while reading the Independent. Here comes the Advance, published in Chicago, and at one bold step it has advanced to the front rank of religious newspapers. The editors and writers for this paper believe in Chicago as a city, and the " great valley " as the future home of unborn millions. When we read I (Dm Series, »Bl._25. APRIL 1. 18C8. tlie Advance, we are actually compelled to We feel as if upon a railroad car, going at the rate of the fastest express train. If a man wishes to get thoroughly waked up, we advise him to subscribe for the Advance. The New York Observer comes cool, calm and collected, venerable and sedate. We have read the Observer ever since subscribing for it when a sophomore in Amherst College in 1833. We take up the Observer whenever, in the language of the Psalmist, we would '■ walk about Zion, and go round about her." The Observer is a real observer, ever looking about with candor and sobriety, ever dignified, and sometimes a little fussy. The British Independent, published in London, has recently been received. We have not read its pages sufficiently to make up our mind upon its character. At some future time we may gossip about it, and some other newspapers which lie upon our table. We believe in newspapers. They are a power in religion and politics. We pity the man that jogs along through life, but does not read one or more good, live, stirring, wideawake, honest, out-spoken weekly journals. With our exchanges before us, we feel acquainted with all parts of the world, and that Honolulu is really a centre, as much so as New York, London, the " Hub," Paris, Chicago, or Pekin. hold our breath. Some of the seamen attached to the British vessels of war recently visiting Honolulu, have been constant attendants at the Bethel religious and temperance meetings. One of them, when leaving, thus writes the colporteur : "lam sorry to inform you that we have received orders to leave. I wish to ask of you a favor before I leave ; it is, that you will send me a few tracts and -two volumes of the Friend, and any other books to employ the mind. You must Temember me to-night at the meeting, and tell the members that so long as the Temperance Legion shall stand, I trust in God (hat my name shall stand also on your books, and wherever I go, I shall noise abroad the Honolulu Temperance Legion." 25 FUNERAL ADDRESS, liv.-r.-.l Miirrh I 2lb.

Two races unite to pay a grateful tribute of respect to the departed patriarch of a mission which has been the best gift of the one race to the other. Forty-eight years ago this very month, on the 31st of March, 1820, the deceased reached the shores of Hawaii with the pioneer missionaries sent out by the American Board to evangelize these then benighted and barbarous islands. This day of his burial is just one month less than forty-eight years from the day when he and the still surviving companion of his earthly pilgrimage (who has cared for him so tenderly during the closing years of his life) were stationed at Kailua, the ancient residence of the Hawaiian kings. And there, for more than forty years, he continued to reside and to labor as the honored pastor of a large and very important parish. The instructor, for a time, of both Kamehameha 11. and Kamehameha 111., his influence upon the conduct and disposition, especially of the latter, must have been very great, at a period in Hawaiian history when it was most important to secure the good will of those highest in authority, and when the word of the king was law and his will was absolute. But, as is ever the case with the faithful minister, his influence was greatest and his usefulness most apparent among the masses of the common people. Never once leaving the Islands for forty years, he was honored of natives and foreigners alike as a faithful, patient, persistent worker, steadfast, and abiding in one stay far beyond the ordinary duration of missionary life. Indeed I know not that in the entire history of missions a like instance is recorded of one remaining so long upon the field and at a single post, during the life time of a whole generation, without revisiting the home of his childhood or visiting any other land. Only when advancing age and repeated strokes of paralysis had rendered him incapable of service ; only when his strong hand lost its cunnine and his tongue had begun to give a doubtful utterance, did he consent to resign �26 THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1868. his pastorate at Kailua that he might spend the closing yenrs of his life in this city. Here how beautiful the evening time of his life. What a privilege to us and to our children to have before us that venerable form and that benignant countenance, a perfect picture of the patriarchs and prophets of olden times not soon effaced from the memory. Infancy with its budding beauty and its. fragrance of a new life is lovely in its gentleness and innocence. Youth with its vigor of ripening ambitions and maturing powers is interesting indeed ; but no sight on earth is more impressive than a beautiful old age. In his case the outward appearance was but the truthful expression ol the inward life ; a calm and undisturbed repose of faith; a rest in Jesus which knew no solicitude ; a sublime quietude of soul which felt no fear. The hoary head is indeed a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness. But he died not of old age. With marvelous physical powers, perhaps unsurpassed in his day by those of any other resident upon these Islands, whether native or foreigner, he might but for the attacks of disease, have survived n century. The brain and nervous system were first to give way, beforehis hearing was impaired, his eye became dim, or his natural force abated. That well compacted and well proportioned frame seemed too strong to be torn down even when the mind had ceased to maintain a logical succession of thoughts, and his conversation, a strange mixture of Hawaiian, English and Latin, had for the most part ceased to be coherent. Those of us who were permitted to visit him near the close of life cannot soon forget those more lucid intervals when for a little the soul reasserted its power over the tongue, nnd with indescribable pathos and earnestness he exclaimed, " My love for Jesus is very great." Nor can I soon forget that responsive smile with which he gave assent to what was said of the preciousness of Christ to the believer's soul, when his tongue could no longer give utterance to his thoughts, and his eyes were already glassy with the film of death. Governed by principle, and not by impulse, in his habits of devotion, he persisted in leading at family prayers as a priest in his own household, till he could no longer frame sentences correctly ; and after that to the last day of his life, nothing made him more restless and uneasy than the omission of the Tegular family devotions at the appointed hour, nor did anything soothe and comfort him so much as prayer. Though remarkably taciturn all through life, yet he was hardly less remarkable for a quiet humor which was kept in subjection to his Christian dignity, while it did much to make him agreeable in social life, and to make him buoyant in spirit under all the trials of missionary labor. And this cheerful temper and Christian mirthfulness characterized him to the last. No pleasantry was lost upon him even when his memory of the past became a blank, and he could not recognize his family or his friends. His peculiarly rich and well trained voice, even when age had somewhat shattered it, gave forth at times such tones as made it a feast of melody to my ear to have him seated for yean close at my right hand in the sane- tuary. Neither the choir nor the congregation were ever disturbed by his singing out of time or out of tune, while the general effect of congregational singing was greatly improved by that remarkable voice of manly power, yet of womanly sweetness, to which we shall listen, in the service of song, never more. Alas, one more praying voice is silenced, one more loving heart is cold, one more tongue so eloquent in praise is still. But though the organs of utterance fail to communicate his thoughts and feelings to mortal ears, who can tell the highet blessedness of that intimate communion he holds with Him who planted the ear and who knows our thoughts before we utter them. That powerful frame, that manly form, is shut up within the narrow house of Death, but his freed spirit is not holden of his dominion. The weary body rests, but the soul has entered upon a career of higher and holier activity. That hoary head shall soon be a buried" crown : but how far are its beauty and excellence transcended by that crown of glory which he wears who' already reigns with Christ, consecrated a king and a priest unto God. And there are stars in that crown. How mmiy already garnered in glory, while ascribing all the honor to Christ, the sin atoning Lamb, have occasion to welcome him with peculiar joy as, under Christ, the faithful shepherd and bishop of their souls. What a debt of gratitude do the vast congregation worshiping in this sanctuary owe to the God of all grace for the services of the departed. Their beloved pastor, whose absence to-day is so much regretted, could speak eloquently to his people of his personal indebtedness to him whom he greatly honored and tenderly loved as a spiritual father. For it was to the blessing of God upon a sermon preached by Father Thurston that he ascribed that personal interest in religion which resulted in his conversion. So is the life of the deceased reproduced not only in the missionary life of his own son laboring upon another island of this group, nor yet alone in thelives of many natives still living who mourn for him as for a father, but with redoubled power and energy is it reproduced in the ministry of hiin who now occupies a central position of influence as pastor of the great congregation accustomed to worship here. The materials are wanting for a complete record of the life of the deceased, but his record is on high. And what a life as it is recorded there, ansfcas God and angels contemplate it. What a life of honor and usefulness as even we are permitted to see it. What an encouragement to the pioneers of Christian missions who go forth to the waste places of the earth to plant the standard of the cross among the barbarous tribes, the thought that they too may be permitted to witness the fruit of their toil in a renovated nation, in a converted people, in a heathen tribe liberated and lifted up by the power of the gospel. What a life devoted to the temporal and eternal well being of thousands upon thousands who have lived and died under his honored ministry. What a life, compassing in its span the entire history of Christian civilization in these islands of the sea. Yet what is this to that unending life of glory and blessedness upon which he has entered. The days of the years of his pilgrim- age have been four score years; but that heavenly life is measured by larger cycles, and its successive periods shall be made more and more illustrious by yet higher joys and more distinguished services. Heaven is not mere reception of knowledge and absorption of bliss; it is holiness in action. There is fullness of joy, because perfection of love. There are pleasures forevermore, because spiritual employments in which the soul can never grow weary. With renewed zeal and untiring patience let us labor, that we too may see the fruit of our toil, and win at least the welcome plaudit, " Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." For Ihe Friend. MY CHART. Navigating the ocean of life, exposed to storms, and tempests, and adverse currents; in constant danger from shoals, and sunken rocks, and breakers, and maelstroms, I am in great need of a good chart, and reliable sailing directions. Some tell me that such are found in the Bible. I watch those who observe the sailing directions in the Bible, and I see that they are wonderfully free from disasters from foundering in mid-ocean, from drifting upon sunken rocks and shoals, or driving upon reefs and rooks, or being sucked down by maelstroms. 1 watch them as long as possible, and when they have reached the earthly horizon, and are just ready to disappear beyond, there often seems a strange light arounH them as if from a brighter world, and their sigtmls indicate exultant expectation as though they were looking into their desired haven, and were about to enter, without the least anxiety,—with : joyous anticipations. I watch those who neglect the Bible and follow some other chart, and I see some go down in darkness and storm soon after beginning their voyage. Some have drifted into the gulf of Intemperance, from which no current sets, no winds blow to favor (heir getting out. And much of the time this gulf is covered with fog, which stupefies the senses and turns the brain, and causes recklessness of danger. Besides, vessels sailing in this gulf are soon covered with barnacles, and the lower timbers decay, and the rigging and sails show signs of being weak or worn. Thus speedily becoming unseaworthy, what else is to be expected than that they should sink and be seen no more? More dangerous than Scylla and Charybdis of olden time, are certain low lands inhabited by her whose house is the way to hell. All along the coast of her dominions are sunken rocks, towards which the winds ever blow, and the current ever sets. And far out to sea are borne her songs, more fascinating than were those of the sirens, against which Ulysses took such precautions. In the chart of the Bible these dangers are plainly pointed out, and the navigator is warned to be on his guard. But many a heedless, infatuated youth, neglecting his chart, has run on to these rocks and been lost. But some endeavor to destroy my confidence in my chart, by telling me of contradictions, and of differences in different copies. And what if five hundred is mentioned as the number of inhabitants of a certain island in one copy of the chart, and seven hundred in �another ? Some transcriber may have made a mistake. But what have such discrepances to do with the reliability of the chart, so long as the correct latitude and longitude of the island are given?—so long as 1 see those who trust to it going on prosperously, avoiding rocks, and shoals, and dangerous currents, and the signals of those who would entice to destruction ? No, my confidence in my chart is becoming stronger every year, and I intend to use it, and to be guided by it, until a better is offered. And I would say to fellow navigators, " Mind this, the best, the only trustworthy chart. Look out for the breakers of which it warns you. Avoid the dangerous quick-sands, and reefs, and straits, and rooks, and currents which it points out. Beware of the signals of those who wish to have you run on 10 the rocks." Nauta. Religious Toleration in Polynesia. Some years ago the missionaries of the London Missionary Society were grossly interfered with and interrupted in their labors at the Loyalty Islands by the Catholic priests, supported by French vessels of war. A representation of the facts was made direct to the French Government at Paris, when the following Imperial letter was issued : " Gentlemen :—1 have received the complaints which you have addressed to me relative to the recent proceedings ol the Governor of New Caledonia in the Loyalty Islands. I have caused a letter to be written to Commandant Guillain, condemning any measure which might impede the free exercise of your ministry in those distant countries. 1 am certain that, far from raising difficulties in the way of the representatives of the French authority, the Protestant missions, like the Catholic, will aid it in spreading amongst the aborigines of that archipelago the benefits of Christianity and civilization. of my " Receive, gentlemen, the assurance Napoleon." distinguished sentiments. " Tuileries, Jan. 24, 1865.'' So far as facts have come to our knowledge, this decided measure on the part of the Emperor had the desired effect. We are inclined to think that the moral impression of that letter is now felt in other groups. We received a letter a few days since from Mr. Thomas Lawson, an Englishman long resident at the Marquesas Islands. We copy as follows : Marquesas Islands, " Uauna, February 8, 1868. ) \ laws now at Nukahiva are salutary and strictly enforced, and the natives are afraid to break them. The Catholic mission is going to put Sisters of Charity at Hatiheu, but the Governor forbids the mission using any kind of force to make the natives come to their meetings, for, says he, all religions are free, with the exception of criminal ceremonies, and human victims must not be offered. The present new President will not give permits to the natives to buy liquors. The whites can buy as much as they like so long as they behave themselves, but they are not allowed to give away liquors to the natives, nor sell any to a stranger under a heavy penalty." ."

Asa Tuurston.—Another of the American Pioneer Missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands has passed away. The Rev. Asa Tiii'H.«ton was born in Fitohburgh, Mass., Oct. ]2th, 1787,and died in Honolulu, March 11th, 1868, at the advanced age of 80 years. He graduated at Vale College, in New Haven, in 1816, and at Andover Theological Seminary, in 1810. Among his class-mates at Andover, were his Associate, the Rev. H. Bingham; the Rev. Cyrus Byington, missionary to the Choctaw Indians; the Rev. Dr. King, missionary to Athens, Greece; the ltev. Dr. Orvi'.le Dewey, and several others who have become distinguished for their talents as divines ami scholars. Soon after leaving the Seminary, he was married to Miss Lucy Qoodale, of Marlborough, Mass., who has ever been his faithful wife and companion in all the toils, labors and privations of missionary life. They embarked at Boston, Oct. 23d, 1819, with their missionary associates, on board the brig Thaideut, Capt. Blancbard. Itcfore sailing, Mr. Thurston made a farewell address in Park Street Church. The vessel reached tiie islands March 30, 1820, and Mr. and Mrs. Thurston were assigned to the station at Kailua, Hawaii, the old residence of the kings of the Islands. There they resided for more than forty years, until, through infirmities of age, they removed to Honolulu. Here he has spent the few closing years of an eventful life, respected and esteemed, honored and beloved. As a missionary of the American Board of Missions, he haa ever labored with great usefulness and success. His knowledge of the native language and character was most thorough. As a preacher, he was ever much beloved by the native Hawaiians, as he spoke their language with great purity and idiomatic accuracy. In the early years of tho mission, his labors as a translator were arduous and successful In this great work, he was associated with Bingham, Richards, Bishop, Green, Andrews, Dibble and others. It fell to his lot to translate parts of Genesis, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and the whole of Samuel, 2d of Kings, and some other parts of the Bible. His funeral was attended on Thursday last, by both Hawaiians and foreigners, from the Ist Church in Honolulu. The following was the order of exercises: Prayer, in Hawaiian, by Rev. L. Smith; Address, iv English, by Rev. E. Corwin; Address, in Hawaiian, by Rev. L. H. Gulick; Prayer, in English, by Rev. 8. C. Damon; Benediction, by ltev. 11. Bingham, jr. The absence of the Rev. Mr. Parker, Pastor of the Church, was much regretted. If opuce would aUow, it would be easy to indulge in a train of remark, contrasting the present witli the post. When our departed Father in the Ministry arrived, all was one wide moral heathen waste. Idolatry was abolished, but the work of reducing the language to a written form, and the endless toil of a missionary's life, was to be entered upon. Now, how changed the moral aspect ! The deceased leaves a widow and three children and numerous grand children to ruouru his loss.

We think our readers will be interested in the lollowing paragraphs from a letter which we recently received from the Rev. W. G. Lawes, a missionary on this island. He is laboring under the patronage of the London Missionary Society. The letter bears date Dec. 2d, 1567: " You may be glad to know a little about our work here. I shall be very happy to give you information, and so enlist your sympathy and prayers on our behalf. been here now six years. By " Weyouhave must understand my wife and we' ' self, for no other European Missionary has ever resided here. The Island stands alone, about equi-distant from Samoa, Rarotonga, and Tonga. It belongs to no group—least of all to the Loyalty Group, with which it is often classed, but with which it has not the slightest connection or communication. We are very isolated. We havre no direct communication with any neighboring island. A schooner comes about three times a year from Samoa, but it is uncertain and irregular. A vessel from Tahiti or Rarotonga may occasionally call, but their visits are rare. Whalers used to call here for supplies, but only two have been here this year. Samoan teachers had preceded us here, so that when we landed we found the ground prepared. All had embraced Christianity, and were eagerly waiting for a Missionary. From that time until now our work has made steady progress. We have some 1100 in church fellowship. I have an institution for our own native teachers, in which twelve young men are being trained for future usefulness. The language of the people is a different dialect to the Samoan and Tongan; it is a mixture of the two. A distinct translation of the scriptures is necessary. I have been enabled to finish the translation of the New Testament, and it is now on its way to us from Sydney. If I receive them before I send this, will forward you a copy. "I am now on the Psalms. In this work especially 1 need help, and I am hoping that a younger brother of mine may soon join us. " I find the other Polynesian versions of the S. S. to be the greatest help to me in translating. " Our natives have a mania for going in ships —many must have reached Hiwaii in whalers, etc. Any tidings of any of them would be most welcome to their friends. The Peruvian slavers took some 200 young men from here, none of whom have returned, though we have heard of one named Mose " it would have been, but for unavoidable circumstances.

A Noble Mabqukxan Mothkb —The story of the seizure of Mr. Whalon, first officer of tiic whaleship Congrtsi, some three or four years ago at Hivaoa, will be remembered by our readers, and his rescue by Kekela, Kaukau and others, as also how President Lincoln sent out five hundred dollars to be expended in rewards to those who saved Mr. Whalon's life. An incident in tho rescue, which we have but recently learned, ought to be made public. There was a young Marqitcsan Chief, who hail been seized by a Peruvian cruiser and sent to the Chinchas as a laborer. His wile had a little child born soon after the abduction of the Chief; and when Mr. Whalon was seized, Ixmnd hand and fool, ready for the oven wlach was being heated to cook him, she. moved with pity for the fate of the poor sailor, took her darling and only child and placed it in his lap. According to tho Marquesan usage, this protects the criminal or person under arrest, so long as it is continued. The higher the rank of the mother, the more sacred tho protection. When the Hawaiian missionaries arrived, they urged the mother to continue to protect Mr. Whalon in this way until they could negotiate a ranHad it not been som with the Chief who held him. for this brave and noble woman, he would have been murdered and cooked by the savage natives before any relief arrived. Rev. A. Kaukau, one of the missionaries who saved Mr. Whalon's life, is now living on Kauai, and is anxious that some testimonial be sent to this Chicfess, whose conduct has never been rewarded, while others who were less worthy, have received valuable presents. He has contributed some presents out of his smallannual salary, to be forwarded by the Morning Star," and if any persons wish to add to them, we will see that they are forwarded. Any articles of clothing, blankets, knives, axes, or such like are prized by the Marquesans, and the influence of such a reward for this noble act would be felt throughout that group.—idv. " Bible Translation.—We have recently received letters from the Marquesas and other South Sea islands, and also from Japan, in all of which there are references to Bible translations. It is exceedingly gratifying to learn from missionary periodicals, newspapers and letters that this noble work is going rapidly forward in all parts of the world. This is a Protestant enterprise. Catholic missionaries never translate the Bible into a heathen language. All the translations into the Polynesian dialects have been done by Protestant missionaries. The Bible has been translated in full in the Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, Tongan and Fijian dialect", and in part into several other dialects. Photographs of the Officers of H.

If the writer, however, has dreamed out any such theory as that of universal salvation, we are confident that between his dream and the reality, as shadowed forth in Scripture, there is as wide " a gulf fixed " as was apparent to our Saviour's view when he discoursed of the rich man and Lararus, as recorded in the sixteenth chapter of Luke. Byron once wrote, " 1 had a dream, which w«» not nil a dream." The Harpers.—This great book firm was founded in 1816 by James and John Harper. Wesley Harper came in in 1822,and Fletcher Harper in 1826, since which the firm has stood as it stands now. It is not often that four brothers can be united so long, with no break in the rank by death or other causes. Hon. James Harper—honorable because once the Mayor—is about seventy-three years of age, and there is no youth about the establishment more active than he. He delights in a good story, a good listener, a good joke, and no one can discover a reason why he shouldn't live twenty years yet. Mr. John Harper is about seventy, but not so robust in health as James. He is the negative element in the firm, and co.nmonly wields the veto power. Mr. Wesley Harper is gentlemanly and cordial, comforting a disappointed author and encouraging a promising one with equal suavity. Mr. Fletcher Harper is the active, aggressive spirit of the firm, but with ;t vaulting ambition that never o'erleaps itself. It is his spirit that animates and directs the "Monthly," " Weekly," and "Bazar." Besides the four members of the firm there arc numerous sons, making a dozen in all. The Harpers resemble English firms in the tenacity with which their employees cling to them. There is one gray-headed octogenarian who has been in their employ fifty years. The foreman of their composing room has been with them forty years; the foreman of the press room thirty-five years ; and there arc women in the folding rooms who have been with them thirty years. Their cashier has alsobeen in their employ thirty-live years. Western Sciences in China.—The imperial government of China, under the advice of Mr. Hart, an Englishman who has acquired great influence in their councils, have ordered the establishment of a university in Pekin, in which European professors are to teach the arts and sciences of the West. This remarkable innovation upon the rigid exclusiveness that has always characterized the Chinese nation, has aroused great prejudice and bigoted opposition. One of the oldest and most influential of the cabinet ministers led the opposition to the employment of foreign teachers, on the ground that native scholars could be found competent to teach all that was necessary. The enlightened emperor disposed of his hostile objections by ordering him to find such teachers, and to open another school for the teaching of science, that through the generous rivalry between the two institutions their relative merits might be seen. The minister was obliged to confess that he knew of no one in the empire capable of giving instruction in astronomy and mathematics. Five professors have been appointed to give instruction in English and French, chemistry, astronomy, and military science ; 825,000 have been appropriated for an astronomical observatory, and $7,500 for a scientific library. If the Bible is true, punishment for sin hereafter will be " not all a dream," but a terrible There will be no Christian but what reality. We know of no other way of eshave a Gethsemane, but every praying will cape for the guilty sinner but through Christ's Christian will find that there is no Gethseatoning blood. Read John 3:16, 17. mane without an angel. for " The religion that is always searching a hope," is a hopeless religion, cannot He who is at war with his neighbor, be at peace with himself. �I HI KKIKM), 31 APRIL, 18 18.

Hence arises mistakes, sometimespleasant, anil sometimes unpleasant. For example Bey. Dr. RI married a sailor, who, as he was leaving the house, put a coin into his hand. It proved to be an old-fashioned copper cent. The Doctor thought it was rather queer, and an exception to the proverbial generosity of seamen, but soon dismissed the subject irom his mind. Three years elapsed, when the door hell rung one morning, and the identical sailor appeared with a chest of tea, a btg of coffee, and some tropical fruits—worth in the You roaggregate about twenty dollars. iiH'inber marrying me," said he; "and you remember that you then prayed that Betsey would make me a good .wife. I knew not whether your prayer would be heard, or whether I had or had not made a good bargain. But it was heard Betsey is a first rate girl; has been true to me ; and now returning from a long and prosperous voyage, I have brought the marriage fee, which 1 which the Doctor want you to accept; failed not to do, with hearty thanks to the : " ; " giver. Words of Experience.—Dr. Colleneth, a celebrated German physician, says: "For twenty-one years I have banished all intoxicants from my practice, and during that period I have not made fewer than 18,000 medical visits, and I hesitate not to say that the recoveries have been more numerous and more rapid than they were during the five years 1 followed the usual practice, and administered brandy, wine and beer." Dr. Chandler, of St. Albans, Vt., states: "I have never known an instance of recovery form hubitual drunkenness except by total abstinence at once from all intoxicating beverages, and in a professional practice exceeding hall a century, I have never known death, or disaster of any sort to follow, as the result of such treatment; and I have never known an instance of ultimate prosperity in business in any young man who commenced with indulgence in alcoholic convivialities " Mr. Thomas Clark will find a letter lling at the Editor's office, at Sailors' c.

Tradition reports no convulsions to equal them in magnitude or extent. By glancing at the above map the reader will readily perceive the principal locality of these convulsions. The Districts of Kau and Puna, on Hawaii, have been the most aflected, although the whole Island has been shaken. The earthquakes commenced 33 i (01b Serifs, Hoi.

This book merits a notice in our columns, for when the piratical craft was cruising in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans burning whaleships, among the prizes enptured on board one of the ill-fated vessels was a bound volume of the Friend, which the officers of the Shenandoah exceedingly prized, for it gave them so much reliable information respecting whaleships. This book affords a brief sketch of the cruise of this vessel in her voynge of circumnavigation around the glolie. The Sea King sailed from London on thp 7th of October, 1864, having been cleared for Bombay. She was followed by the Confederate steamer Ijaurel, flying the English flag. The latter vessel brought away the future officers of the Shenandoah, so named when the name Sea King was " rubbed out." It is not our design to detail the full cruise of this noted vessel, but copy a few pages relating to her visit to the Arctic Ocean. She captured and burnt numerous vessels in the Atlantic before sailing around in the Pacific by the way of the Cape of Good Hope. On her passage out she touched at Melbourne, where the officers enjoyed themselves exceedingly, the people ot Melbourne wore so very, very kind and hospitable. This was particularly true of the ladies of Melbourne. The writer of this volume expresses the opinion that he did not "suppose so much hospitality ever was or ever will be shown to another ship in that port." Words fail to express the tender emotions which were mutually expressed by the Melbourne people and the officers of the Shenandoah. Thousands of the inhabitants flocked from the country to see the ship. One Sunday seven thousand came by railroad from the surrounding regions. The officers of the Shenandoah felt perfectly at home and among their friends while at Melbourne. After leaving that port she directed her course to the Arctic Ocean, via Ascension. At the latter place she made thorough work among the American whaleships, including the Harvest under Hawaiian colors. The following extracts will describe her cruise in the Arctic : On the 22d of June we sighted two ships, and steamed after the nearest, which was trying out oil, as we knew by the quantity of smoke, though she was at a considerable distance. On nearing her, an officer and a prize crew went on board and brought off the captain and mates, from whom we learned that our prize was the William Thompson, belonging to New Bedford, and the largest whaling ship in the fleet. Lenving the officer and prize crew in charge, we steamed after the other, and when near enough, showed the English flag, which she answered by hoisting the Stars and Stripes. We ran close alongside of her, sent an officer und prize crew on board with orders to bring off her company at once, and set the prize on fire, which was done. This was the ship Euphrates, and was also owned in New Bedford. Her crew came off" to us in her own boats. About seven o'clock P. M. we spoke the English whaler Hubert Towns, of Sydney, Australia, and she was the only English vessel we saw bound for the Arctic. We then turned round and ■teamed back toward the William Thompson, passing on the way the Euphrates, now one sheet of flame fore and aft. We remained in the vicinity of the first-named vessel until halfpast three the following morning, when that also was set on fire, and we steamed away to the northward in search of more Yankees. The weather was excessively uncomfortable ; heavy fogs were frequent, and flurries of snow not uncommon, and ttie quantity of floating ice we encountered somewhat impeded our progress, if it did not place us in * actual peril. * * * * The first that fell into our hands was the ship Mil), of New Bedford, a staunch, but slow-sailing craft, evidently built expressly for this hazardous cruising, and was well prepared to resist the drifting ice so constantly encountered in these seas. She had on board several barrels of oil, but had only just commenced whaling in eurnest. The captain was a fine looking old veteran, standing over six feet two, and straight ns an arrow. He came over the side with all the dignity of an ndmiral, and handed his papers to the first lieutenant, who politely escorted him to the captain's cabin. After a brief conversation, Captain Wnddell proposed to ransom the Milo for forty thousand dollars, on condition of herenptain's agreeing to take what prisoners we then hnd on hand, and might capture in that vicinity, to San Francisco. He accepted the proposal readily, highly gratified, I have no doubt, at being able to save his vessel upon any terms, and the requisite bond was drawn whereby he bound his owners to pay the neat sum of forty thousand dollars at the close of the war. I should be extremely unwilling to acquire the character o( a dun, but 1 shall be pardoned, I trust, for reminding the parties interested that this and a number of similar vouchers taken by us during our cruise, have not yet been paid, and if they ever intend to take up these obligations, no better time than the present will ever offer. To be sure the war terminated disastrously to our cause, but we are, therefore, so much the more in need of any trifling sums that may be owing us. The above amounts, therefore, may be sent to me, care of my publisher, who is hereby authorized to receipt for the same. When this negotiation was concluded satisfactorily to all parties, the old skipper returned on board his vessel, and dispatched his whaleboats to bring off" the prisoners from the Shenandoah. Several of them warmly shook hands with us at parting, and expressed the hope that we might meet again under different and more pleasing circumstances. It was n sentiment in which we could heartily concur, and I must say that American whalers are officered by some of the noblest, most high-minded and generous men belonging to the great brotherhood of seamen. A kindness they seldom forget,— to a friend their hand is ever open, and an enemy they can look upon as one who might have been a friend, but for some political accident which it is out of theirline of business to examine into very closely. * The writer describes the capture of the Sophia Thornton, Jirek Swift, Milo, Susa7i Abigail, General Williams, W. C. Nye, Catherine, Gypsy, General Pike, Wuverly, and the Favorite. On the 28th of June the Shenandoah fell in with a large numlier of ships. The writer thus describes the day's work : By five o'clock we had made prizes of the whole fleet, ten sail in all. One of them, the James Maury, had lost her captain a short time previous, but his widow with her three little children were still on board. The lady was very much frightened when the boarding officer stepped on deck, and besought him, with tears in her eyes, not to destroy the ship that had been her husband's home so long. As gently as possible he soothed her fears, telling her that no harm should befall her or the ship, through our instrumentality. The James Maury was accordingly ransomed, and her mate was directed to take the vessel to the United States, with as many prisoners as could be conveniently accommodated. Another of the number, the Nile, was also ransomed ns a transport for the remaining prisoners, and when these had received their passengers, the remainder of the captured vessels were set on fire. The following are the names of the vessels raptured that day Ships Hillman, Nassatt, Isaac Ilowland, and Brunswick. Barks Martha 2d, Congress, Wuverly, and James Maury. All these belonged to New Bedford, besides the Nile of New London, and the Favorite of Fair Haven. We hauled off" to a little distance and anchored with a kedge, to watch the mighty conflagration our hands had lighted. It whs a scene never to be forgotten by any one who beheld it. The red glare from the eight burning vessels shone far and wide over the drifting ice of those savage seas; the crackling of the fire as it made its devouring way through each doomed ship, fell on the still air like upbraiding voices. The sea was filled with boats driving hither and thither, with no hand to guide them, and with yards, sails and cordage, remnants of the stupendous ruin there progressing. In the distance, but where the light fellstrongand red upon them, bringing out into bold relief each spar and line, were the two ransomed vessels, the Noah's Arks that were to bear away the human life which in a few hours would be all that was left of the gallant whaling fleet. Imagination nssisted us no doubt, but we fancied we could see the varied expressions of anger, disappointment, fear, or wonder, that marked the faces of the multitude on those decks, as their eyes rested on this last great holocaust; and when, one by one, the burning hulks went hissing and gurgling down into the treacherous bosom of the * : * �ocean, the last act in the bloody drama of the American civil war had been played. Widely different were the arenas that witnessed the opening and concluding scenes. The overture was played by the thunder of artillery beneath the walls of Sumter, with the breath of April fanning the cheeks of those who acted there their parts, while all the world looked on ; the curtain finally fell amid the drifting ice ol the Arctic Seas ; burning vessels formed a pyrotechnic display such as the children of men have seldom lookfd upon, while a grim and silent cruiser, that had, even then, no government nor country, and two weather-beaten whalers, filled with despondent prisoners, were the only audience. From one of these last prizes we obtained the first news from the States we had received for many months. She had San Francisco papers bearing date the 15th of April, and containing intelligence of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The news occasioned a general feeling of astonishment and indignation throughout the S/tenandoah. That one who sympathized with the Southern cause should have deliberately planned nnd executed an act that would" strike with horror every honorable man, whatever his partisan sentiments might be, and thus redound to the discredit of the Government for whose success he professed to be laboring, seemed passing strange. It was even then shadowed forth in the papers we perused so far from the place of their publication, that designing men would endeavor to fasten upon the Southern people at large, and especially upon their leaders, the odium of that hideous crime. That this has since been done, the world is well aware, but only the Southern people know how cruelly unjust is such an accusation. It must be borne in mind that although this was the SJSth of June, we had as yet received no tidings of the cessation of hostilities between the United States and the Confederacy. So far ns we knew, our armies, though repulsed at many points, and sadly depleted in numbers, were still making a gallant stand against the Northern hordes, which eventually overran our unhappy country, bearing down all resistance before them; consequently our hearts were buoyed up with the thought that we were still aiding the great cause to which we had devoted our lives and fortunes. From some source best known to himself, our pilot, Manning, now advanced to the position of Acting Master's Mate, learned that a fleet comprising about sixty sail, had passed up through Behring's Straits into the Arctic Ocean but a short time previous. Of course they were still somewhere in the ice-bound sea, from which there was no exit save the passage by which they bad entered it, and we determined to overhaul them if that was possible. At eleven o'clock P. M., we hove up our kedge nnd once more commenced steaming north, and by ten o'clock on the morning of the 29th we had passed through Behring's Straits, within sight, at the same time, of the extreme frontiers of Asia and North America, and were fairly within the Arctic Circle. It was a desolate prospect that met our view.

After passing around the southern point of the island and over a wide field of rough lava, he conies upon a beautiful region, as be remarks, "much resembling the rocky uplands of New England. The grass land extends five miles, and is then interrupted by the large valley of Waiohinu, where is the only running stream on this side of the island for a hundred miles. This brook rises from several springs not many miles up the mountain, and is clear, cool and never-failing, although small in volume. The Waiohinu valley contains the principal settlement and the mission station of the dis- Visit of His Majesty to Hawaii.—We severest was experienced April 2d, six minwas take the pleasure in noticing the visit of His utes before four o'clock, P.

The explanation of this seems to be, that this part of the island was in ancient times by some great convulsion broken from the mountain side precisely as the portion between the breaks of Haleakala on Maui, the lava flowing on each side of the wedge-shaped fragment. In support of this view, a valley running transversely to the Kau ridges may be cited, which bears evidence of disruption, and which has received and turned many streams of lava from the mountain above." (See pages 32 and 33.) Euitokul Remarks.—We can most vividly recall the journey we made through this remarkable and beautiful region in the summer of 1844. No longer can the geologist remark that it is " exempt from lava streams from the mountain above." Mr. L. E. Swain informs us that from his personal observation, he should infer that the recent lava flow had covered over about 4,000 acres of the most beautiful grass and cane land on the Islands. The depth of the flow is from one to a hundred feet deep. The very best land on that part of the island is nearly all now under this coat of new lava.

This flow was witnessed by F. S. Lyman, Esq., and is thus described in the following extract from a letter which has already been published in our island papers. From Mr. Holladay, who has visited the region, we learn that a stream of water is now flowing from the orifice or fissure where the mud issued with such terrific violence. Under date of April 10th, Mr. Lyman writes : on a Maile Quarterly.—We are always glad hare this publication laid upon our table.

First the earth swayed to nnd fro north and south, then cast nnd west, round mid round, then up and down and in every imaginable direction for several minutes ; everything crashing nround us ; the trees thrashing about us if torn by a mighty rushing wind. It was impossible to stand, we had to sit on_thc ground, bracing with hands and feet to keep from rolling over. In the midst of it we saw burst out from the top of the pali, nbout n mile nnd a half to the north of us, what we supposed to be an immense river of molten lava, (which afterwards proved to be red earth) which rushed down its headlong course and across the plain below, apparently bursting up from the ground, throwing rocks high in tho air, nnd swallowing up everything in its way—trees, houses, cattle, horses, goats and men all in an instant ns it were. It went three miles in not more than three minutes time, and then ceased. Some out- poinled to the shore, and we ran to where We could see it. After the land shaking had ceased and all along the lealhore from directly below us, to riinalnu, about three or lour miles, the sea was boiling and foaming furiously, all red, for about an eighth of n mile from the shore, and the shore was covered by the sea. We went right over to Nalialu's hill, with the children, and our natives, to where we could see both ways ; expecting every moment to be swallowed up by the lava from beneath ; for it sounded as if it was surging and rushing under our feel all the time ; and there were fre. qiieut shakes.

This has been done, over and over again, in both Europe and America. Among Americans there has always been a lively interest manifested in behalf of these islanders, as so many whaleships have visited the island and reported the condition of the people. From 1808 to 1852, no less than 330 ships have visited that island, according to the register kept by the inhabitants. Most of these vessels were American whaleships. their relative importance demanded. There now lies before us a manuscript letter written by the Key. N. W. Fiske, Professor of Greek in Amherst College, Mass., and dated January 7, 1845, requesting information respecting the inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island. This gentleman, deeply learned in aucient Grecian lore, became intensely interested in the Pitcairn people. He thus writes : " Information pertaining to the interests of Christ's Kingdom in any part of the vast ocean in which ymi dwell will always Ix; very welcome. I forwurd in connection with this note n little book, in which you will find your name mentioned. Your letter (answered by Quintal!) would have been inserted had it been accessible.

Allow me to say that I shall be exceedingly obliged to you for any information you may procure and forward to mo respecting Pitcairn's Island and its inhabitants; especially I should be pleased to know minutely the history of Hannah Adams and George Young and their family. George's love, Hannah's reluctance, their final marriage, their house, their family, etc., etc., would form an interesting chapter; but I had not the materials for the real history, and nothing else was to be admitted. I should also be grateful for the correction of any errors." We procured and sent forward a large amount of information, but ere its arrival, failing health had compelled the Professor to relinquish his post and visit Greece and Palestine. He died at Jerusalem May 27th, 1847. His funeral was attended from the English chapel, the service of the Church of England having been read by the Rev. Mr. Nicolayson, and the body was deposited in the cemetery on Mount Zion. Professor Fiske was a man of great learning and rare Just sixty years ago—1808—Capt.

MAY, 1868 We shall now direct the reader's attention in the history of this people. It has been our privilege to keep up a correspondence with some of the inhabitants on the island ever since we came into the .Pacific. We followed them from the island which had so long been their home, to their new abode on Norfolk Island, and have not ceased to take an interest in them, now that a portion have returned from Norfolk Island back again to Pitcairn's Island. to some recent events Removal to Norfolk Island. Through fear that Pitcairn's Island would bo too small for the increasing population, the British Government generously gave them Norfolk Island, which had been a penal settlement for the worst of convicts transported from England. All the convicts were removed to New South Wales. From a new book relating lo the South Seas, written by Berthold Seeman, and pubjished in Cambridge, England, we copy as follows : 'i The Pitcairners landed on the Bth of June, 1856, from the Morayshire, under the agtncy of Acting Lieutenant G. W. Gregorie, of H. B. M.'s ship Juno. They numbered in all 194 souls, one of whom died soon after landing; the rest comprising 40 men, 47 women, 54 boys and 52 girls." , When they left Pitcairn's Island, they brought away everything movable of any real or supposed value. The British Government very generously allowed them to inhabit houses and dwellings found upon the island. The Government otherwise provided for any anticipated wants which might arise before they could raise new crops. Return of some of the People to Pitcairn's. The new abode on Norfolk Island did not prove satisfactory to all. We received a letter from Mr. Buffett dated Norfolk Island, 27th December, 1858, from which we make the following extract: " And now for Pitcairn's. A great many wish to return there, and I suppose, if opportunity offers, will go. On the second of this month, two families left, namely, Matthew Young and his wife Margaret (the widow of Matthew McCoy, who was killed by the discharge of the Bounty's gun), and family of six children. Three others remain here (two of them, 1 believe, mean to return next opportunity), and Moses Young and his wife Albina and five children. I expect next April at least twenty more will leave, as an American whaling captain has promised to give them a passage : the family of Thursday, October, Christian and relatives. Those who left went in a brig of 100 tons, belonging to Van Dieman's Land, called the Mary Ann. The owner engaged to take 60 adults at £10 per head, and over 80, old and young, engaged to go, but it was such hard parting that the contract was broken, and it was decided that all should remain, and we agreed to ;;ive the owner half the sum for the detention of his vessel; but he not feeling easy at taking this sum without doing something for .it, it was concluded that some should go, and the two aforesaid families embarked accordingly. Subsequently a few others followed, so that as early as 1862 or 3, forty-one persons had returned to their old home." A few days since we received several letters from those dwelling there. We think our readers will be interested in reading some extracts from these letters. Senior Young, who now officiates there as school-teacherand chaplain, thus writes under date of the 21st of last February: "There are among us nows9 inhabitants— 26 males and 33 females. The oldest person on the island is the daughter of John Mills, the mutineer. She is now about 76 or 78 years ofage. 17 have been born since 18(53. We have no regularly ordained pastor, but yet the sound of the « church-going bell' is heard every Sabbath, and whenever it is sounded, there ore but few who do not attend. The morning and evening services of the English Liturgy are read both morning and evening on the Sabbath, and all who are able attend either one service or the other. Since we came from Norfolk Island—the houses being destroyed—we have been busy in building them over afresh." We also have letters from Thursday C. Christian, magistrate for 1868, Mary Christian, Robert Young, and two others. The people are poor, but contented, and very much attached to their little rocky island home. Ships visiting that part of the ocean will do the people a great favor by touching for the purchase of supplies, in exchange for clo- thing, &c. Remarks upon Norfolk Island. In 1862 the missionary ship John Williams touched at this island, and the following report is published of the visit in the London Missionary Magazine : - We found that ' Norfolk Island ' com- prises three islets: Philip Island, Nepean Island, and Norfolk Island itself, which is nineteen and a half miles round ; evidently the three isles were formerly one. Norfolk Island is a beautiful spot, everywhere adorned by the noble pine which derives its name from it. Many of those trees are of gigantic growth. We spent n day landing their greatly-needed supplies. The Key. Mr. Nobbs gave us a very kind reception. The islanders made a donation of £20 to the Society, and sent presents for the ship. Mr. Nobbs estimates the present population at 300. During the six years they have been on the island there have been 100 births, and only fifteen denths (four of these were accidental); so that the island must be remarkably healthy. English only is spoken. There are a very few old people living who can speak the Tahitian language. They are very respectful to visitors, and are kind ; they are very intelligent ; a book is a most acceptable present. They meet for Divine worship where formerly the convicts assembled on the Sabbath. They seemed to be contented and happy. They subsist on the English potato, the sweet potato, the yam, and Indian corn; wheaten flour, sugar and salt are imported. We saw the taro plant growing freely. Each person is entitled upon marriage to fifty acres of land ; and each takes his turn in supplying vessels with what they may require, so that there can be no pauperism among them. They are a good-looking race, a shade darker than ourselves, and tall. They are strictly moral; many, we hope, arc de- cidedly pious. " It seems that shortly after their migration to Norfolk Island, two families returned to Pitcairn's, and are doing well there. " Many inquiries were made by the islanders as to the spread of the Gospel in Polynesia. They asked after several missionaries hv name ; one of them said that he distinctly remembered a sermon preached by the Rev. J. Williams at Tahiti, in 1831, from the words, ' Comfort ye, comlort ye my people, saith your God.' One of them is now preparing nt Auckland to go forth as a missionary under the auspices of Bishop Patteson. It was with much regret that we parted so soon from these interesting people." We have still later intelligence from that island. The Rev. Mr. Nobbs thus writes to a friend in England, under date of June 1, 1867. The extract is from the Friend, published in London in December, 1867. # # * # "M\r dear wife sends her lore and thanks to Mrs. Veale for the articles specially sent her; but she will send a few lines, and so speak for herself. A good wife and mother she is. We have been united nearly forty years, and have at this time ten children surviving,— all grown up with the exception of a little daughter of ten years, the Benjamin of our age ; but our house is not lonely, for we have twenty-five grandchildren, and the merry voices of some of them are every day heard in our midst, for several of them come two or three miles to school, and then of course all flock to grandmother at noon for dinner, and supper also if the weather is bad. Then grandmother is in her young days again, and grandfather is obliged to lay aside his dignity a? pastor and school-master.and almost thinks himself young also, until eight o'clock in winter and nine in summer, when every member of the "ousehold assembles for prayers, and then children and grandfather to bed ; the rest generally remain up an hour or two longer. I mention these domestic observances that you may understand the usual routine of the community. Parents and chil- — dren ore intensely attached to each other, and grandchildren and great-grandchildren are as much at home in their ancestors domicile as their parents used to be in their childhood. In short, patriarchal customs and manners are prevalent; and 1 trust the love of God nnd our neighbors is prevalent in every heart. To those friends at Worcester who sent tokens of Christian regard I bid God speed, and proffer my best thanks. We are at this time in the enjoyment of good health, with but few exceptions, nnd rapidly increasing in numbers. Our Father in heaven has been very gracious to us, especially in putting it into the hearts of yourselves and others in England, to confer so many benefits upon us in this our isolated situation. May you and they indeed experience the satisfaction of knowing your labors have nut been in vain in the Lord. " Yours in verity, Geo. H. Hours." �PLACES OF WORSHIP. SEAMEN'S BETHEL-Kev. 8. 0.

The Clio brought 210 flasks of quicksilver, some copper, anchor, chains, iScc, from the wreck of the Libellc. We hear it reported, and we hope the is report true, that His Majesty has invited the choirs of Kawaialiao and Kaumakapili churches to give each a concert in behalf of the sufferers on Hawaii. Such concerts, we are confident, would be fully attended and liberally patronized. The sooner they come off the better. Well Done.—The success of Miss Atherton in soliciting subscriptions in behalf of Miss Bingham's school is highly gratifying. The sum of $1,950 contributed to purchase the Clark premises for this chool, indicates* that the interests of education are above par in the estimation of the people of Honolulu. Rev. Mr. Mason's Reading.—This gentleman gave a reading of Hamlet before the Olympic Club. We were so much pleased with the performance, that we heartily desire Mr. Mason or some other gentleman will follow with other public entertainments of the game character. We would acknowledge books and papers for seamen from Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Jonhstone, and Mrs. Henry Carter. MEMORANDA.
