When e'er at evenings peaceful close, I bend the knee in prayer, Then, Brother, will I ask for thee, High heaven's most tender care. I'll ask that friendship, love and hope, May in thy pathway smile, That faithful friends be ever near, Thy sorrows to beguile. I'll ask that mid each tempting snare, That this seductive world portrays, That virtue pure may thee attend, Asit has done in younger days.

Resolved, That it be the standing duty of the Directors of the Society, to make diligent enquiry as to all reports of strong drink being deposited in the settlement. Unanimously carried, J. S. Griffin, Secretary. This early and decided stand of the Society, as shown by the foregoing extract, and having previously numbered about forty members to the pledge in our infant settlement, was not without its influence in securing the Legislative action in the fol lowing spring of '44, prohibiting the traffic in the country, under the penalty off 100 - for each offence. Notwithstanding the laws of our Provinsial government are as duly respected as the laws of any part of the civilized world (owing, doubtless, to our having no strong drink) still our chief reliance is upon the pledge and the circulation of temperance information.

The science of education has however, now advanced to that degree in Prussia and Saxony that the dumb are actually taught to articulate sounds, to speak, to xeod with distinctness and propriety. We have first been made acquainted with this astonishing fact in reading the VHth Annul Report of Horace Mann, Esq. the intelligent Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. It appears from the Report that Mr Mann has travelled over Europe for the benefit of gathering light to pour upon the common school system of Massachusetts—a State where education has a strong hold upon the lore and affection of all classes in society. How true it is, that the educated are awak in every laudible way of improving their systems of education. After giving an account of the system pursued in imparting to the dumb the knowledge of sounds and the use of their articulating powers, the learned Secretary remarks:— dumb man, nnmed Habonnauss, who was for which he quotes Lord Coke, Fitzherfamed for his correct speaking, that bert and others:— strangers used to call to see him.

They were surprised. They looked at him, and he looked at them. After locking the door on them, he said—" Don't be suprised, gentlemen: when I dined with you, you made me drink whether I would or not; now I shall make you eat, whether you will or not." We love and venerate customs and usages which exert a good influence, and especially if they came down from bygone ages; but if their tendency is hurtful and injurious to society, then let them be abandoned. If a fashion is pernicious to individuals and society, then get a new one.— That the wine drinking usages of society have and do exert a most unhappy and baleful influence there can be no doubt when it is considered how many are now confirmed in their habits of intemperance, who commenced their downward career as fashionable wine drinkers.

One reason Why young people so often think study a hardship and education irksome, arises from the manner in* which their studies are conducted. A certain portion of geography, of history, of languages, and various other subjects is read or committed to memory, without any connexion between them being maintained. With regard to history, for instance, a history of Greece or' of Rome, or of England is pert into the hands ofyoung persons, and when they have gone through its pages, containing, a record of certain events that transpire at certain periods, and of certain characters instrumental in producing those events; and if the pupil can remember in what particular pe- riod any great battle was fought, or'at what time such a king reigned, or such a republic flourished, they ore then considered to be acquainted with histoiy. They know, however, no more of the mora] character? istics of the several -nations which have passed under review, of"their local peculiarities, of their progressive improvements, of the intlueiitial bearing which one counpon another, than they know of irmntion of their own minds, and' think no,more -of the cause, and design of the complicated, yet wise arrangement of the earth's affairs, than they think of the volitions which bring their own muscle* into play, their own limbs into action. But let history be viewed, not as a mere • chronological register .of certain facts and retires, a mere record of battles lost or won, bbt as a science enriched with treasures from almost -every source, as a ecting link between .the various subjects of contemplation which ought to occupy the thoughts of intelligent beings, and it will at once become a most interesting study. The history of every nation comprehends, necessarily, its progress from barm to civilization; its internal changes, causes producing those changes, and irions characters by which they are promoted; the rise and advancement of its language, literature, laws, arts and scienmechanism of its legislative, politond eclesiastical system, together with gnition and tracing out of that illn 2 power whose wisdom guides, and controls all the affairs of the kingdom c world. Hence, if it be true that nainfluenced, in some deat least, by the climate, natural bisto- fthe Beograplr Mid i it of lost but the h i necessary, and auxiliaries to Biography is one g and instructive li res of public limes in which they flourished, the histories of the respective national transactions in which they bore a part? Intellectual and moral philosophy, which appears to me to be the history of the formation of character, is an admirable preparation for rightly studying biography and history, which furnish us with the practical development, of character in conduct. If it be also -true that the history of a nation will depend much on its institutions,.whether legislative, civil ot ecclesiastical, then its laws, its polities, its church history, and- all its moral.and religious influences, should be examined. If, too, the nation derive any of its glory from mind, and mind's achievements, then let its literature, its learned men, its arts, and its artists, its sciences and its philosophy share the attention they deserve. Blot from England's annals the names if Milton, Shakspeare*, Bacon, and Newton, and the glory (Jolt, Recently in looking over seme old manuscript papers, the following article on Sandwich Island caves, fell under our notice. .It appears to have been addreaeed by some scientific gentleman, to the members of the "Sandwich Island Institute."

The superintending providence of Almighty God is this day to be recognized in the affairs of this nation. The words of inspiration which I have selected for our present meditation, are a portion of the song composed and delivered by Moses, on that day when he made his final address to the whole congregation of the children of Israel. This Song opens in language of the highest sublimity, —" Give ear, O ye heavens! and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth." After extolling the glorious perfections of God, Moses turns to the people and calls upon them to remember the days of old." "For the Lord's portion is his people; and Jacob is the lot of his inheritance." Then follow the words selected for our present consideration, Duteronomy, xzxii: 10.

Where e'er I roam from East to West, North, South, upon the sea I'm sure to meet thy welcome face, Proud banner of the free. And as I gaze upon thy folds, 1 check the rising sigh. And feel, that when that flag's unfurl'd The sailor's friend.is nigh. What, though the Yankee seamen boast Upon their stripes and stars. And o'er their cups, proclaim aloud That they are free bom tan? Their flag has only caused to quake An earthly monarch's force, Ours brings with irresistless force, The power of Satan down. Where e'er that flag has once been raised, Content and peace are found; Be 'ton I he deep and sparkling sea, Or on the well til'd ground. And flocking 'neath its fost'ring care, Are seen both youth and age, The lisping, prattling, cherub boy The hoary headed sage. The drunkard's wife that long has bow'd Beneath her load of woe, And fear'd to hear that once loved step, That now forbodes a blow; Looks up to thee with streaming eyes, And blessings murmurs out, For he has join'd the Spartan band, To drive interap'rance out. All hail! bright flag, float on with pride, There's life beneath thy shade-; All bail! ye brave devoted band That first the onslaught made; For generations yet unborn.

By late arrivals, publications have been forwarded to our address, from at least three quarters of the globe, the east, west and south, while by looking at the marine intelligence, the reader may observe that we have news from the north. We would respectfully protest against the use of phrases very frequently employed to define the locality of the Sandwich Islands, viz:— Ends of the earth," confines of civili"zation," " far off Islands of the Pacific." " Don't laugh in contempt, reader, although you may reside in London, Paris, or New York, at the following,— Honolulu, capital of the Hawaiian Islands—focus of intelligence—centre of the world." We are at a loss to discover why the dwellers in one part of the world have any more right than those in another, to arrogate to themselves the pre-eminence of living in the centre of the world. Some remark that European and American news is three months old before it reaches us, and so is our news of an equal age before it reaches Europe! - (September, of King, Matheson, Jardine, die. etc.— The following is the list of officers for the coming year:— PATRON, H.

It is about eight miles broad in the widest part, and 32 miles in circumference, and is certainly one of the most beautiful spots ever trodden by the foot of man. Within a mile of the beach rises a most picturesque medly of gentle knolls and lofty hills, clothed in their robes of living green, even to the highest peak—some of them terminating in a point so sharp and well defined that it seems as if a hand would cover them; others, like the gentle undulations of the ocean. Between these and the shore the plain is covered with the most luxuriant vegetation, and in all the varieties with which nature has blessed this bewitching clime. There are three towns upon the Island, subject each to its own king, who is bound by bis honor not to interfere with the government of his neighbor.— There is a Missionary in each town, established by the London Missionary Society, with churches, school houses, printing It appears to have struck even the thought- presses, dec. &c.

Animated by this delightful, but unexpected intelligence of an event which so evidently marked the care of Providence, he made all possible haste towards the shore; but it was late, it blew hard, and it was morning before he could get aboard. As he rowed towards the ship, it fell calmer, the wind became fair, the signal for sailing was hoisted; and within two hours after he entered the Portland, the fleet were tinder way with a fair wind and a fresh gale.
