In some of the English papers, we observe that editors endeavor to draw a parallel between the present rebellion in America and that of '76. Supposing the cases are parallel, then it follows our English cousins will not, of course, think of acknowledging the independence of the Southern Confederacy until 1868, or seven years from the period of the breaking out of the rebellion. Seven years elapsed between 1776 and 1783, when the British Government acknowledged the American Independence. English people are always searching for precedents, their own conduct of the 18th century, ought surely to guide them in the 19th. The late American papers contain discussions upon the probable cause of the defeat at Bull's Run. Some attribute the cause to be General Patterson's negligence, others to the teamsters' intentional retreat, and several other causes are assigned. As for ourselves, we are fully satisfied with this solution of the sad affair, viz: the Federal or Union army made the attack upon the Holy Sabbath. It was a wanton and defiant desecration of God's Holy Day. The Rev. Dr. Tyng of New York, asserted in a public meeting in that city, that in the history of battles fought upon the Sabbath, the attacking party had been invariably beaten. To suppose, that an army of Northern men could be led onward to attack a rebel force upon the Sabbath with equal chance of success, as if, they were fighting upon some other day, is quite absurd. The responsibility of Generals, who would make an attack upon that day, is very great. We hope this severe lesson will not need to be gone over again. Sailor's Home.—We call the attention of seamen discharged at Honolulu, to the excellent board and accommodations to be found at the Sailor's Home. Mrs. Thrum is not at her old post, but another lady is there, Mrs. Oat, whom we doubt not, Seamen will find equally ready and willing to supply their wants and give them good advice. Protestantism among Hawaiians.—From such information as can be relied upon, we are confident that the cause of Evangelical Protestantism was never more firmly established among them than at the present time. Large accessions have been made during the past year to the two Protestant churches in Honolulu. Last month we made a trip to the North side of the island, and we met with unmistakeable evidence of stability and progress. At Waikane, the natives have caused to be erected a small, neat wooden church edifice, costing near $1200. It has been built and paid for within two years. At Hauula, the people have just repaired their church at an expense of $1100. That expense has been fully met. At the timeof our visit there was a debt of about $300. The church invited their brethren throughout the island to aid in paying off the debt. On the 27th ult., there was a large gathering at Hauula, for that purpose, when $460 was contributed, and subsequently sufficient has been paid to amount to $500, or 200 more than the debt!! The native churches at Kaneohe and Waimanalu, are in good repair, thus showing that the Protestant cause in Koolau is very encouraging. Dat or Fasting and Prater.—Thursday, The 26th of September, was appointed for this purpose by the President of the United States, in view of the civil war now in progress. The American Foreign residents of Honolulu observed the day. At 11 A. M., a meeting for Prayer was held in the Bethel, and in the evening a similar meeting in Fort St. Church. Meetings were also held in soir-e of the native ohorohea. Death or Capt. Edward,.—Advices by the latt packet from San Francisco, report the death of C»pt. Edwards, of the ship Hibtrnia, who died on board hi* vessel, June Bth, four days before her arrival at Hakodadi. Ilia remains will be shipped to Saa Kranoisoo. Capt. Edwardi leaves a widow and three children, who are now in Honolulu, and who have the sympathy of the community in the it bereavement. 57 {(Silt, Series, Pol. 18. New Book. a Great People!—The Uni1801.—From the Frenoh of Agenor dc Gaaparin, by Mary L. Booth. New York, Scribncr: 1861. This is the title of a remarkable book, written by a Frenchman. .We did not suppose there was one man in all Europe, who understood io thoroughly the social, civil, political and religious affairs of the United States. If European writers, editors and The Uprisino of ted States in do understand Americans, then surely they have a most remarkable ability for misstating their views and opinions, from the writers for the London Times, down to the penny-liners. This book we have read with much pleasure and satisfaction. From some few of his statements and inferences we might dissent, but those are comparatively few and unimportant. The election ofLincoln, the clear sighted Frenchman, ex-minister of L. Philippe and private Secretary of M. Guizot, views as the first effectual stand ever taken by the friends of liberty at the North, in the hitherto inglorious march of the propagandists of African Slavery. It is not our intention to write a review of the work, but we hope our readers will procure the book and read it for themselves. It is a word uttered in season. He is cheerful and hopeful. His ideas are noble and enlarged. His book is a capital portraiture of America, on the 4th of March, 1861. He has given a strong pull at the rope of the Liberty bell, that first pealed forth its notes on the 4th of July, 1776, in Philadelphia.

IContinU€xl from our L.u»t.] XX. DEFERENCE TO RANK AMOMi MARSHALL ISLANDERS. " Honor Ihy Father and thy Mother," Is a command which Uod gave to Moses upon Sinai. The Marshall islanders reverse this law, and inculcate the principle, "parents honor your children." The oldest son of a family rules the household. He is never checked or restrained, but his will is law and his caprice the rule. While visiting Mr. Doane's family, we noticed a chief pass some food to his little son, which had been given him by Mr. Doane. The father did not even taste of the food, before offering it to his son. We were informed that should the oldest son even kill his father, or any member Of the family, he would not be called to account! One of the most serious difficulties into which Mr. Doane has ever been brought, was when he unintentionally treated the oldest son of a high chief. In a manner which was interpreted as an insultty the chief. The lad insulted was a young sans culotte sprig of the highest blood. His father fired up and threatened. He defied the terrors of a man-ofwar ! He intimated that the missionary's life might be the forfeiture, or that he might be disposed of as so many other foreigners had been! Mr. Doane calmly remonstrated. The chief then intimated that a present would appease his wrath and restore the insulted honor of his son. " No," said the missionary, " I came here to teach you, not to make you presents." He then pointed out to him the law of God, and read the ten commandments, closing the interview with prayer, as described in another part of the sketches. Jealousy respecting rank is not confined to rulers and princes of enlightened and civilized nations. We have never known stronger feelings manifested among any people upon this subject, than among the naked savages of the Marshall Islands. A line marked and distinct is drawn between chiefs and common people. There is no crossing that with impunity. We asked the Rev. Mr. Doane, what crimes were punishable ? He replied, none but insult to chiefs." The death penalty is not unfrequently inflicted for this crime. Only a few days before our arrival at Ebon, a young man was put to death, on the mereest suspicion, and after his death it was ascertained that he was inno- " cent. While the chiefs are so very jealous upon this subject, still they mingle among their people, and outwardly but slight deference is paid to the chiefs. Among the chiefs, everything, in regard to rank, depends upon who was a chiefs mother. The female gives rank. Their ideas and laws respecting marriage are very peculiar. A chief of the first class must marry a woman of the second class, and their children will be second class chiefs. A first class woman must marry a second class chief, and their children will belong to the first class. These rules are rigidly enforced. Polygamy exists among them. Some have as many as four or five wives, although we heard of none who carried their ideas of polygamy to the extent of Brigham Young and his followers. XXI. FAREWELL GLANCE AT MARSHALL ISLANDS. These islands are thirty in number. Fifteen forming the Kalick or Western Chain, and fifteen forming the Radack or Eastern Chain. The population is estimated at 10,000; the Ralickers numbering 6,000, and the Radackers, 4,000. Each chain of islands has its own chiefs, and are independent of each other, although the chiefs of the Ralick Chain entertain the idea of nominal supremacy. There was a rumor, at the time of our visit, that the chiefs of the Ralick Chain were about to assert and endeavor to maintain their authority over their less pow- All the islands of both chains are coral, low and lagoon shaped. There is more verdure upon these than upon the Gilbert Islands. They are situated in a region of the Pacific where the trade winds blow very strong and are accompanied by heavy thunder and lightning. They range from 4° to 12 °N. L., and 165 °io 172 ° E. L. The two chains of islands run nearly N. W. and S. E., and are parallel to each other. The whole group takes its name of Marshall Islands, from Capt. Marshall, of the English Navy, who visited them in the year 1788, commanding the Scarborough. The visits of the celebrated Russian Navigator, Kotzebue, to the Radack Chain, are full of interest as described in his voyages, published in London, 1821, in three volumes. These islands, however, have never been thoroughly explored, and are very incorrectly laid down upon the charts. The notices which have been published respecting them in Colton's large Atlas, or any other geographical works, are exceedingly meagre, incorrect, and unsatisfactory. Dr. Gulick's lecture upon the Marshall Islands, is higly interesting and instructive. We now take our leave of the Marshall Islands and their inhabitants. Our visit opened up to view, a new phase of Polynesian life. We there saw the humble and devoted missionaries laboriously engaged in the work of reducing the language to a written form, teaching school and preaching to the people. After having enjoyed their hospitality and Christian fellowship, we took our departure, bringing away Mrs. Doane and her two little children, who left on account of her own health and the sickness of the youngest child. Never shall we forget that parting scene. This hymn was sung : vain la all beneath the skies ! " Mow How transient ever; earthly bliss ! How slender all the fondest ties, That bind us to a world like this, &c, ke. # # # # # Then let the hope of joys to come. Dispel our cares, and ebase our fears ; If God be ours, we're travelling home, Though paasing through a vale of tears." The Rev. Mr. Doane offered a prayer in the Ebon language, and it was followed by a prayer in English. We .saw a number of the native Christians, or " lovers ofejesus," pass around to the state-room window and bid Mrs. Doane farewell, with many tears. It would have subdued the stoutest soul, to have witnessed the missionary part with his wife and children, and then step into his boat and steer for his lonely home ! There may be a romance about the missionary life, when viewed from the shores of Christian England and America, butall romance is dissipated and it puts on a stern reality when the real experience comes. As we stood upon the quarter deck of the Morning Star, conversing with the Rev. Mr. Doane, and taking a last look at the shores of Ebon, we said, " It is hard for you to part with your family, and go there to labor alone." His only reply was. " I could not, if I did not feel that Jesus was my companion." Surely it was no unmeaning language of our Saviour, " Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world." While this scene was passing, the sailors were heaving a( the anchor, and the sails were loosening. We were soon off and bound for Strong's Island, but with the glass, we watched that little boat, rising and falling with the swell, until it was lost in the distance. When that happy family will be again united, is known only to the Master, in whose cause they labor. XXII. UALAN, STRONG'S ISLAND, OR KUSAIE. In reading books upon Polynesia, and examining charts of the Paci fie, there is nothing more perplexing than the variety of names applied to the same islands, or group. Ualan, Strong's Island or Kusaie, is a good illustration of this remark. We will now explain the several terms or names applied to this .island. Ualan, is the usual name found upon charts, and upon large aria nun This is the name which the natives apply to the large or mala island, erful neighbors. while Lila, is that of the small island.

Nothing could be more improbable or unsatisfactory than import a company of buccaneers, or any civilized people, to build what could not be at all to their purpose, nor to the credit of their architectural talents; and what it would have been morally impossible for them to have done. The inhabitants of Kusaie are even now skilled in wall building. We were told that one of their most decisive evidences of public grief is to rebuild the wall about the premises of a bereaved chief; and to this day the chiefs tiro buried in one of the ancient enclosures, as though they were the mausoleums of the great. Possibly they may in the first instance have been built about royal residences, and on the decease of the builders have become their magnificent sepulchres, though the analogy of present Micronesian customs decides against it." The principal island, Ualan, is twenty-four miles in circumference, and the small island. Lila, about two miles. In ancient times, the large island was conquered by the inhabitants of the small island, and to the present time, remains tributary. The King resides upon the small island. The mission premises are also located upon it. It is separated from the large, by a narrow channel of the eighth of a mile in width. Both are densely wooded, with cocoanut, breadfruit, mangrove and numerous other tropical trees. The forests are a perfect jungle. The large island is formed of two mountains towering to the height of about 2,000 feet, which may be seen a long distance at sea. The forests are intersected by numerous small streams. The climate is very humid, as we can testify! Strong winds prevail. Frequently the rams are accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid flashes of lightning. There are three harbors upon the island. to XXIV. XXIII. WEATHER BOUND ON KUSAIE. RUINS ON KUSAIE.

Mr. Snow gave out the hymns, and conducted the services, after the usual method in our congregations, excepting that he called upon the strangers for some remarks, which he interpreted. The audience was respectful and attentive. The utmost decorum prevailed* during the exercises. The closing hymn, was the translation of that familiar English Hymn, " The Saviour calls—let every one Attend the heavenly sound ; Ye doubting souls ! dismiss your tear, Hope smiles reviving round." We very much doubt whether Mrs. Steele, the author of this hymn, the friend of Addison, imagined it would ever be translated into the language of a savage tribe upon an island of the Pacific, not to be discovered until after she had been dead for a hundred years. After the morning exercises were closed, the Sabbath School convened, when about twenty-five remained. Through Mr. Snow as interpreter, the strangers present endeavored to interest the pupils. At the afternoon service, gathered, what Mr. Snow denominates " his Christian congregation." Among them appeared Kedukka and family, who have for some years professed a strong attachment to the gospel. Several others are affording the gratifying evidence of having been born again, and stand as candidates for church membership, while others show an inquiring state of mind. Kedukka, snentioned above, evinces a strong determination to make his light shine. He has commenced itinerating through the villages upon the island, and appears to make known among his benighted fellow islanders, the truths of the gospel. On the following Wednesday afternoon, a most interesting prayermeeting was held at the house of the missionaries, when native Christians and strangers from abroad, " felt it good to be there." There was distributed for the first time, copies of printed hymns. While the labors of Mr. and Mrs. Snow were particularly designed for • he natives of Kusaie, we feel that they have also accomplished a roost important work in behalf of seamen. Oftentimes during their residence there, the harbors of the island have been visited by numerous whale ships, sometime? fifteen or twenty at a time ; but we shall refer to this topic under another heading. In addition to Mr. Snow's labors at the station, he is accustomed to make tours about the island—preaching from village to village. These are very laborious. The whole south side of the large island seems much inclined to receive missionary labors, while the northern part is opposed, and holds on to its former superstitions. The work however has begun and will spread, and unquestionably should the mission be prosecuted, the entire population will be soon brought under Christian influences. As we shall show in another paper, the inhabitants of Kusaie are rapidly diminishing in numbers. This fact in connection with the urgent call for missionary labor at the Marshall Islands, has led to the prospective removal of Mr. and Mrs. Snow to Ebon, when the Morning Star shall make another trip to Micronesia. His removal has been decided upon by his associates of the mission, and approved of by the Prudential Committee of the American Board of Foreign Missions at Boston. It is now contemplated to supply his place by an Hawaiian missionary. as soon as necessary arrangements can be made. yet in the prospective demise of the Togusa or King, there is a good deal of what American politicians would call log-rolling, for the King-ship, and alter all is done, the chief of another tribe may succeed to the thronp, if the popular feeling among the people sets strongly in that direction. A son of a former Togusa or King, may succeed to his father; so also the son of a brother, or a sister, of the Togusa, although there is no law in regard to such a course. So far as Mr. Snow has been able to learn from observation or inquiry, the duties of the Togusa are not confined to affairs of peace. In a war which the natives had with some foreigners in '57, who endeavored to get possession of the island, the Togusa, was commanderin-chief of the tribes. Nothing could be done without his permission or direction. When peace was made by the arrival of the Morning Star, the Togusa was the sole executive in the crisis, though there was previously held a convention for consultation among all the chiefs. We learned from Mr. Snow the following interesting facts respecting the bonds of relationship. If a man has a dozen brothers, his children have as many fathers, besides their natural father, and all the children of those mothers are brothers and sisters. All the fathers, sisters or mothers to his children, and the sister's children, are brothers and sisters to her brother's children. The same law holds good on the mother's side. The names of individuals are not changed from the cradle to the grave, unless the person is exalted to become a chief. Then the common name is dropped and lie or she goes by the official name. Every male chiefish title, has a corresponding female chiefish title, viz: Togusa male title, Kosa female title. Should the chief have several wives, but one can be«r the official title. When the husband dies, the female title is gradually dropped. If another immediately succeeds to the chieftain-ship, the title is dropped at once, and all the honors, titles, lands, servants &c., succeed to the chief elect. Mr. Snow relates the following facts in regard to the absolute subserviency of the people to their chiefs or their king, c. g.: the male child of the daughter of old King George—this daughter being the wife of the second chief in authority—receives from her mother the same deferential regard that he would if he were a chief already titled. In addressing thech.ld, though but an infant, the prefix Se, equivalent to our Sir or Honorable, is invariably employed. This brother must never touch the child's head, although he may handle other parts of the child's body, oil or wash it, but no greater offense cottfd be given to the parents of the child than for him to touch any part ofthe body above the shoulders. Now if this daughter ot the old kinj had an older sister, then this one of whom we have been speaking, would be obliged to exhibil the same tokens of respect to the older sister's child or children. All these ceremonies going or lending to keep the idea of the superiority of the mother, that the honors and royalty are lodged in her hereditribe, tarily. Mr. Snow furnished me with the following interesting facts in regards to their tribal laws, relating to help in sickness. If one is sick or in distress, or needs help in any other way. the.» it is the duty of the tribe to which he belongs to render that help. They, as speedily as possible, gather about those in distress, and remain with them until relieved, or removed by death. If removed by death, they continue their attentions, supplying all the necessaries for four days of feasting after death. This is a law of the tribes, and it nltereth not. Mr. S. stated the following custom among them, in regard to the treatment ofa chiefs child, until it can crawl. It must never lie upon XXVI. the floor, but be held, night and day, month after month in the arms of GOVERNMENT AND CUSTOMS OF KUSAIENS. nurses and servants.

Snow, at Strong's Island or Kusaie, has been accustomed to officiate as Chaplain, when seamen were in port. In former years many English and American whale ships have visited that island for supplies. The bark Superior, Capt. R. D. Woods, visited Strong's Island in 1860, and sailed from thence to the Solomon's Islands, where the master and nearly all the crew were cruelly massacred by the natives. An account of their massacre has been extensively published in the island and American newspapers. The disaster took place in Sept. 1880. Capt. Hugh Mair, master of the English schooner, Arid, thus writes from Rubiana, Solomon Islands, Nov. 30, I860: "On Sunday, the 16th, nine of the crew went ashore. The carpenand two men went to the settlement and were murdered in one of the native huts. The natives then proceeded, in canoes and overland, to the ship ; and those who came by land fell in with the remaining six, close to the beach, and murdered them. About 150 natives got on board the vessel, and made a rush on the crew, who were all on deck— except four who were in bed. Those on deck were immediately tomahawked, only two escaping by jumping down the main hatchway, and joining the four below in the forecastle. One of the crew, whom I recovered, saw the captain and second mate murdered by a native called ' Billy,' who has been to Sydney, and speaks English well. The chief Copan was the principal in this dreadful massacre. The six men below, being armed with lances, kept the natives from coming down the forecastle, until at last Billy' told my informant that if they came up they should not be hurt. At length, therefore, they did so, and were at once surrounded by the chief Copan's orders to be put to death. The chief America offered to buy three of the men, and he persuaded Copan to keep the other three to till the ground. These three, as I have already intimated, I could not recover." While the Superior lay at Strong's Island, the Master, Capt. Wood, and his crew were accustomed to attend the native service upon the Sabbath. The news of the massacre was taken to the island by the Morning Star. The Rev. Mr. Snow and wife were deeply affected by the sad intelligence. Mr. Snow then exhibited the following extract which he had addressed the owners of the Superior in New Beam This letter was written and forwarded long before the news of the massacre was known. It was the postscript to a letter upon business, relating to a wreck, which had occurred at the island. " P. S. Gentleman, allow me to detain you for a moment by expressing my interest in and high regard for this R. D. Wood. He has made our little island quite a port of entry since we have been located here, and from the first we have always hailed his coming with much pleasure. Among the almost entire licentious delinquencies of those who visit us, it affords me the truest pleasure to bear honorable testimony in favor of the uniformly pure and upright conduct of this Capt. Wood. Besides this, he has endeared himself to us by many an act of generous kindness in supplying some ot our wants, and especially in bringing us some of our mails. Though not the most talkative of men, yet his occasional visits to our family in our isolated, but pleasant and happy home, have always been most welcome and afforded us much enjoyment. It may afford his good lady, some of his cousin* and that favorite niece, some pleasure 40 hear thus of him, though it be from a stranger. Though we have seem less of Capt. Morrison of the Daniel Wood, yet it affords me sincere pleasure to bear equally high and honorable testimony concerning him. He has done us great kindness not only in oui mail department, bat also in bringing supplies from Honolulu." ter ' , 61 1861. On the last Sabbath the Superior lay at Strong's Island, the Rev. Mr. Snow preached the following discourse to the ship's company. Considering the untimely fate of so many interesthfg*young men, far away from home and country, it may be interesting to their friends to learn that they should have conducted with so much propriety, during their last visit at a port where they could listen to the preaching of the gospel. This discourse was prepared without the most distant thought that it would ever be solicited for publication : " And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, sad to go before him unto the other side.—Mathew xiv:22. There cluster about our text some of the most instructive incidents and transactions in the life of the Divine Redeemer. He had been spending a short season in his own city, Nazareth, trying to impart heavenly wisdom unto the friends of his earlier days. But it was soon seen that a prophet had no honor in his own country, nor even in his own house. Like many other foolish people, they loved things better that were far fetched and dear bought." They were not to be instructed by the " Carpenter's son," not they. So "He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief." But let us turn our attention now to his disciples and that night upon the sea. While the Master was praying upon the mountains, the disciples were sailing on the waters. The disciples doubtless had a place in that prayer, and the chosen twelve thought and talked of their absent Lord. Four of those sailors at least, Simon Peter and Andrew his brother with the two sons of Zebedee were no strangers upon that lake. Many a long night had they sat in their boats alternately watching their nets ana the Stan. They had thought of the sweet influences of the Pleiades, and the bands of Orion, they knew the hand that guided Arcturus and his sons. But now they had left their fishing tackle and their fathers and had been called to be fishers of men. The words and wonders of the proceeding day with the strangely abundant supper for that great multitude might have justly awakened their pride and feelings of admiration for their new master. But they are hardly out upon the sea ere they are beset with difficulties. A contrary wind and a boisterous sea kept them toiling in rowing for the livelong night j and they had hardly made half theirpassage, when the dawning day brought to their astonished vision what they had supposed to have been a spirit, and they cried out for fear. The apparition came up and made as though it would have passed. But Jesus seeing and hearing their fears immediately talked with them, and said in his well known voice, " Be of good cheer, it is I, be not afraid." His word to their spirits was like Peace be still" to the troubled waters. As soon as he is recognized the impulsive Peter must try a walk upon the waters. "And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water." And he said, Come! I suspect the "ifit be thou," in his prayer shows that the thoughts of the ghost had not all been displaced for complete faith in his Master. For when he saw the wind boisterous he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried for help. Immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him. Then the rebuke, 0 thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt ?" The wet Peter and the welcome Jesus were soon in the ship, when die wind ceased. They soon had prayers, and it was a pleasant morning worship. For it is written, " Then they that were in the ship came ana wor-. shiped him, saying of a truth, thou art the Son of God." They were sore amazed in themselves, beyond measure, because they had forgotten the five loaves and the 5000. But ere they had finished their astonishment their passage is made, and they are all safely on shore with the opening duties of a new day before them. I hardly need pursue the narrative farther, though the following day is filled with incidents of peculiar and striking interest. We shall do better to pause here and gather a few practical lessons from what we have already witnessed. My audience will not object to our gathering some lessons from this night on the sea. I. Those toko enter the service of Christ need not abandon the tea. I should almost feel like begging pardon of my seafaring friends for making such a remark, had not the assertion been so often made to me by those first in authority, that it is no use to try to be religious till we are done with whaling, and have quit the sea. lam aware that such remarks may be made to parry off the truth and to quiet an uneasy conscience, rather than as an honest expression of an intelligent man. And yet, my hearers, will bear me witness that giving utterance to such a sentiment whenever the claims of God and the duties of religion are urged upon the conscience, would soon make a sentiment. " * * * " " �THE FRIEND,' OCTOBER, 62 however false, an absolute fact in its practical influence .upon the lives of men. But God allows no such let off. His claims upon the love and service of his*H»elligent creatures are not limited to the land ; they extend from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. And my heart rises in thankfulness to God that this is not mere theory. The witnesses upon the sea, though not so many as we could desire, have yet been very numerous, and sometimes of very marked and distinguishing clearness, from that old voyager in the ark to the present time. Thanks be to God that he has always had a seed to serve him on the sea. And perhaps at no period in the past has the number of these been more rapidly multiplying than within a year or two of the present time. The means too are constantly multiplying to effect this same end. The intelligent sympathies also of the Christian world, are being more and more wisely awakened and turned to the great and glorious result of gathering the fullness of the sea into the Kingdom of God. My friends of the Superior can you not trace growing emotions in your own hearts which will bear favorable testimony to the truth of remarks ? If so, yield your hearts to those emotions and you soon find in your own happy experience that those who enter the rice of christ need not abandon the sea. I. Another lesson from that night upon the sea is that it is aJtoays to obey Christ. t is true that they had not the bodily presence of their Divine Master on board, as at another time when crossing the lake of Genesaret, he was asleep in the hinder part of the ship,but they had what was justas good for their safety, his command, "Get into the ship and go unto the other side." There was nothing in the articles about Peter leaving the ship and trying to foot it. And he seemed to have gained only a wetting for his folly and a reprimand for his rashness. Had John tried it, I suspect he could have gone much more safely than did Peter. But he had the wisdom to serve his Master where his Master put him. Peter would have done much better to have kept his seat at the oar. Deserters, even when it is done under the cloak of piety, are only losers in the end. How many have read about Peter's folly since that night! and how much talk there has been about it! We are apt to remember and talk of the foolish things that men do, much longer than we do their wise things. The disciples had a head wind and a rough sea, so that they were all night in making a passage which might have been made in two hours. So that being a servant of Christ, don't exempt from trials even at sea. But how often contrary winds occasion hard thoughts of God, and hard words, too, sometimes ! Had the disciples made a quick passage, they and the world had probably never known that illustration of Divine power in the Saviour, his walking upon the water. Be sure that you have an ear and a heart intent upon hearing and obeying the commands of Christ, and you need have no fears concerning the winds or the waves. Every event will have its lessons of wisdom to teach, and each trial of faith and patience will bring good to the heart, though there may be less gold in the pocket. Safety and welfare of the ship is much more thought of and planned for than the safety and welfare of the soul. Good for the voyage, is oftener the question than " will it, be good for heaven!" While if a thing is good for heaven, it certainly can't be bad*for a voyage. There are no tests of friendship where there are no trials. The being wind bound is one thing, the being will bound is quite •another. The one may keep from going to sea for awhile, the other may keep from going to heaven forever. For the words of Christ are come unto me, that ye might have life." There was an old " Ye will notIsrael, Joshua by name, who said as for me and my Governor of " note, but equally house, roe will serve the Lord." I knew another of less wise in that thing, and he was a sailor. When urged to the surrender of his will to God, exclaimed, I will serve God or nobody." By so " You who hear me now, " Go and they are both safe for heaven. likewise," and you will be equally safe for the same place. 111. A third point of instruction is, that sailors should never forget '. Saviour. No class of people in all the world were so honored as sailors in the oice which Christ made of his disciples. One-third of the whole mber were chosen from that class alone. Then to carry the honor 11 further, he chose his three favorite disciples out of those four. Has this distinction been well repaid in the gratitude and love of seamen ? Your better acquaintance with seamen than mine, better qualifies you to answer the question. Let me put the question more practically : Do you, yourselves acknowledge your indebtedness to Christ on this account ? Perhaps it has not been sufficiently thought of to be intelligently answered. It certainly calls loudly for your consideration. tie ling 1861. " For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required." Be assured my friends, Christ lias strong claims upon seamen. And I ask you as men belonging to that class, have not those claims been sufficiently long protested ? Is it not time that you yourselves acknowledged those claims and were paying your dues? From our stand point it would seem that the Saviour was not wise in having so many seamen with him as his intimate friends and counsellors. For though they come from almost every land, it is a pity that more don't find their way lack agnin ; but the pity is still greater, that of those who do return, so few have been improved during their absence. So fearful is the state of things in this regard, that I have seldom found an observing or sensible seaman who would choose a sailor's life for his own boy. And in all my intercourse with the world, I have never found a class of men, ns a class, among whom there are so few christians. But notwithstanding these drawbacks, I am far from attributing want of wisdom and the broadest forecast to the course pursued by our blessed Saviour. The very fact that sailors come from all lands and go to all lands is a mntter of great interest in this connection. Get the genuine leaven of Christianity into this mass, and there is a mighty working power. It is felt at home and abroad, on sea and on shore. The lowest and most despised hashis circle of interests and of influences. Sanctify itandhe becomes powerful. How much more so would it be when those interests and influences were backed up by intelligence and by official standing. These wide and powerful influences are not always to be lost to the church. The sailor will ere long acknowledge the claims of the Saviour, he will hear and heed the call, " Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." And the sacrifice will not be so great to them as to many of us landsmen, to respond to that dying command of the great Redeemer, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." For he goes there already without the commission. How much more will he go there when his heart becomes fired with the love of christ, and he sees in the Jesus of Nazareth the dearest of friends and the Saviour of his own immortal soul. His heart will become an altar of incense, and his life, a perpetual thank-offering. IV. If you want to make a safe passage and reach a good port at last, take Christ withyou. I hardly need say more under this head than to assure you that without taking Christ, there is no possibility of such a result. " For there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we mutt be saved." That name is Jesus Christ, of »11 mimes above, " Dearest My Jesus and my Ood ! heavenly love, Who can resist thy Or trifle with thy blood >" You are aware that it is a law of nations that no ship shall enter port with contraband freight on board. Before she can enter, that freight must be moved, or there is a liability to capture and condemnation. All sin is contraband nt the port of heaven, and there is no possibility of escaping detection. If you were sure of a chance to stop somewhere and make n change, it might be safe though not very wise to continue your present course. But there is no such insurance company established. A great many have tried it and failed. There is no capital to start with, so all their policies have been found useless. It is well to know this at the outset. to all But God has sent an agent, and established a house such business. That agent is the one lam now recommerrermg to your consideration. He will take all your contraband articles off your hands and give you the best marketable freight. And what is very lingular, he charges nothing for his commission. There is one very simple and very reasonable condition in the policy, which must be affectionately subscribed to before he will sign the papers that will insure your safe entrance into the port of heaven. I hardly need tell you that that condition is perfect loyalty to the Great Sovereign. Give an assurance of this and you will get free papers, a sure passport, wonderful to say, signed with the blood of the agent. Having this, your voyage may be shorter or longer, perilous or otherwise, nothing will ever really harm you; blow high or blow low, storm or sunshine, head winds or fair winds or no winds at all, it will be all the same at last, provided you preserve with the strictest fidelity your loyalty. In the book of principles which the great Sovereign has given to teach us how to be loyal, there is something very encouraging given to show that those wh% are beset with great trials and peculiar difficulties are treated with marked consideration by the Great Sovereign himself. Let me read it to you from the Book. Rev. vn:l3—l7. Then haste, 0 Sailor! to be wise, Stay not for the morrow's sun ; �iII r FRIEND. OCTOBER, 1861.

The Sandwich Islands as a place Residence. or We have lately received letters from perin California and Illinois, making inquiries respecting the Sandwich Islands as a place of residence. The gentleman in Illinois writes as follows : " Allow me to address you, touching your adopted country, as to its eligibility as a place of refuge for some of us Americans, who wish to escape the slavery agitation," &c The other gentleman, residing in California, desires to learn " what 200 acres of land could be bought for at the Sandwich Islands," ice., &c. There are doubtless many others residing in the United States, who are sadly perplexed, during these war times, and are ready to flee to some other more favored land. To all such persons we would say, " remain where you are." If a farmer in Illinois or California, cannot get a living, do not think of emigrating to the Sandwich Islands. Persons might come hither and in a few months fall into some spot where they would be contented, but in ninety-nine cases out of an hundred, they would come to be disappointed. Many have already done so. At present, no description of agriculture offers inducement to capitalists except sugar growing, and that requires a large capital, and a long period for returns to be made. As for coffee, it is ruined by the blight, while rice-growing is in its infancy. The idea of farming after the style of Illinois or sons residing \m Series, ©01. 18. HONOLULU, OCTOBER 19, 1861. 10. 80. fl.j California, is altogether out of the question. No description which we can give, will convey even a tolerable idea of the state of agriculture on the islands, to persons who have always lived in a colder climate, and among the go-ahead people of America. If a man would understand the state of things upon the Sandwich Islands, he must come and see for himself. We will not encourage any one to come hither, for we should fear they would be sadly disappointed, yet it is possible for persons to come and settle down and make a happy home. There are many such homes scattered over these islands, and hereafter, we hope they will be multiplied, hence we would say to any of our countrymen residing in California, Illinois, or any other part of Yankee-doodledom, if you wish to learn what is the state of things in the Pacific, subscribe for one or more of our Island newspapers, either the Advertiser, or Polynesian or Friend, and read them for one year. You can make remittances by bank bills, or U. S. letter stamps. Hoping that the Friend may shed a little light in Illinois and California, we shall send a copy gratis one year to both of our unknown correspondents. Lap-in-Wapa. Just as we were leaving Honolulu for Micronesia, M. Perrin, H. I. M. Commissioner tor France, deposited in our hands the sum of $2,86, being the avails of a coil of rope which had been stolen from a French ship at the island of Ascension, or Ponapi. This rope was taken possession of by the chief, Lap-in-wapa. The rope was brought to Honolulu by the Rev. Dr. Gulick, and delivered to the French Commissioner, who ordered it sold. The amount realized was 82,85, which we were instructed to expend for hatchets, fish hooks, etc., and present to the said chief, as a reward for his honesty. On our arrival at Ascension, Lap-in-wapa was among the first company of natives which came on board the Morning Star. He was greatly surprised to receive the articles which we had bought for the avails of the rope, and which we presented him in the name of His Imperial Majesty, Napoleon 111. This may appear to some of our readers a trifling affair, yet we can assure them that it forms an important link in the chain to bind the natives of Ascension to France. It was the reward for a good deed, and will be remembered. It was a subject of much conversation among the natives in that tribe. While the Morning Star was lying there at anchor, we visited the house of Lap-inwapa, and found him to be really one of the most responsible men of his tribe, and a man of influence, although not a high chief. He informed us that some months ago, an American whale ship had sailed, leaving behind a hawser, used for mooring the ship. He had taken possession of the rope and was storing it in his canoe-house. The following document will indicate the disposition which was made of this article. Island of Ascension, Pacific OccaJf, Jolt 2d, 1861. This certifies that the bearer, Lap-in-wapa, a chief residing at Metelanim Harbor, took possession for safe keeping of a coir hawser rope, left by an American whale ship. This rope was found lying in his canoehouse by the subscriber. It was becoming damaged by exposure. Capt Samuel Neweld, wishing for this rope, it was appraised by Capt. C. W. Gelett, of the Morning Star, at 13,00. Under the circumstances, it was decided to allow Capt. Neweld to take the rope, upon the payment of i3,00 to Lap-inwapa. I could not learn the name of the ship which left the rope; but should the master ever visit Honolulu, he is requested to call upon the subscriber, Sam. C. Damon, Seamen's Chaplain. Wishing to impart to this document an official appearance, we followed the example of the distinguished traveler Stephens, when in Central America, who wishing to impress the degenerate Spaniards with an idea of his official importance, affixed the seal or impression of an American half dollar to one of his letters ! �TII X I XI I: NU 66 , OCTOBER, P MornSigtar apers. IContintaect fYoin our 1..a5t.l XXX. KUSAIEN LANtJITACIK. The language of the inhabitants of Kusaio, exhibits some very| singular linguistical features. Before the missionaries landed upon the island, the natives had acquired a smattering of the English language. This was merely the result of their intercourse with foreigners, principally with seamen. They were able to employ intelligently a greater number of English words than those Hawaiian* who huve lived for years in foreign families in Honolulu. So great was their knowledge of English, that Mr. Snow endeavored for nearly four years after commencing his mission to preach, in broken English, or Anglo-Kusaien. He endeavored to teach the English in school, but be finally abandoned the experiment, and fell back upon the vernacular of the natives. He found it to be exceedingly difficult to communicate religious truths in this mixture of Kusaien, English, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. This same difficulty, we apprehend, would be still more manifest if the scheme should be generally undertaken of substituting the English language for Hawaiian, Tahitian or Samoan. We know That there are some innovators, who are very sanguine upon the point, that you can substitute English for Hawaiian, in all of our schools. We do not believe it practicable even now, and much less when the missionaries first commenced their labors upon the Sandwich Islands. To substitute our language for another, among a rude and uncivilized people, is no easy undertaking. It would approach an impossibility to do it suddenly, or during a single generation. We are not aware as the history of the world presents any such example. There are parts of France, where we are informed that the old Celtic is spoken even now, while Gaelic is one of the written and spoken languages of the British Islands. The difficultyattending the substitution of a foreign language for the vernacular of a people, is admirably illustrated in the attempt of William the Conqueror and his successors, to supplant the good old Anglo-Saxon by the French. The Norman conquest of England was accomplished in the eleventh century. William the Conqueror landed in England, A. D. 1086. During the three following centuries, no efforts were spared to banish the vernacular of the conquered people, but without success. The French, it is true, became the Court language, hut the farmers, mechanics and common people, retained their mother-tongue. A similar result, we are confident, will attend a similar effort upon any of the islands of Polynesia. The French, at Tahiti, may teach a few of the islanders to speak ala Franfaise, and some few of the better educated Hatvaiians may learn to speak English, but the majority, we are confident, will always speak " their own tongue, wherein they were born." We would not assert that an Hawaiian eann t acquire a correct knowledge of the English language, for there are many who have surmounted every obstacle, and can now correctly speak and write the English language. There are but few if any English and American resident* upon the islands, who can speak and write the English language with greater accuracy than his Majesty, Kamehameha IV. While at Strong's Island, we were surprised in mingling among the natives to find so many of them who were able to speak in the jargon which has been thus introduced. Their ability to pronounce some of the difficult sounds of the English language was very remarkable. We tested their ability by requesting a native who had never left the island, to pronounce such words as Mississippi, Missouri, Shalmanezer and several other words in which sibilants abound. He could do it, with the utmost ease. We found the Caroline Islanders much more readily acquiring a knowledge of the English language, than the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands, who find it exceedingly difficult for their organs of speech to enunciate any words abounding with hissing sounds. Mr. Snow is preparing a Grammar of the Kusaien language, which he finds to possess many peculiarities, which will be interesting to philologists. It is evidently a dialect of the same language as spoken by the Caroline Islanders generally, but totally unlike the language of Polynesians. It is a language abounding with words signifying deferential respect, for thosje in authority, especially for chiefs. "Your Honor." "Vonr Excellency," -My Lord." fa,, fa,, interlard the or- 1861. dinary conversational intercourse of life. An Hidalgo from Old Spain, would probably find the Kusaiens fully equal to the genuine Castilians in the punctilios of conversation. It was amusing, and rather suggestive, to witness a people living in filth and nakedness, debased to the very lowest degree in the social scale, still maintaining a species of refined intercourse, and delicate respect for one another. When they speak it is in a quiet undertone, very far removed from a rude, boisterous and hilarious turn of mind. They are seldom, if ever, known to engage in insolent and angry discussion. When one becomes angry with another, he does not vent his anger by outrageous language and violent blows, but quietly turns away, and refuses to speak with the offending party! A Kusaien can receive no greater insult than for a neighbor to refuse to speak to him! We asked Mr. Snow, how a Kusaien would exhibit his anger towards a person win* had offended him ? He replied, " by refusing to speak to him." If with us »silence fftfea consent." with the Kusaiens, "silence shows contempt." ■ XXXI. KIRS 0101101 or KUHAIat, Long before the Missionaries landed upon Kusaie. or Strong's Island, through the reports of shipmasters and sailors, we had been made acquainted with King George. He was a very remarkable man, considering the circumstances of his birth and education, Capt. Jackson, of the whale ship Inez, makes the following remarks respecting King George: " The King is a man nf good sense and sound judgment, possessing a large share of Indian ciiimintj and craftiness ; for instance, when I talked with him abnut their religion and trailed at some of their superstitious cuttoms, he winked anil said it was the fashion of Strong's Island, giving me to understand that lie knew belter." (See Friend, February, 1849.) This man often expressed a desire to have missionaries sent to Kusaie, and sincerely deplored the sad effects ol the intercourse of his people with persons of abandoned character. Capt. Jackson's letter contains full particulars upon this subject. On the arrival of the missionaries in 1852, King George received them with open arms. The Rev. Mr. Snow thus writes under date of Oct. 14, 1952: " Here I am on the much talked of island, and Mrs. Snow with myself and one of the Hawaiian families are to remain with the far-famed King George. In the early communications of the missionaries residing upon that island, there is very frequent and full mention of this King. He entered fully into the object of the mission and exerted his influence to promote its success. He caused a large church to be built and promoted the instruction of the young. As we have already stated, in Paper XXV, King George died in Sept. 9th, 1854, universally lamented by his people, and in the opinion nf the missionary, a sincere believer in the gospel of our Lord nnd Saviour Jesus Christ. In furnishing this brief notice of King George of Kusaie, we are reminded of another King George, even more remarkable, and worthy to be ranged among the most distinguished of all the Kings who have ever arisen and reigned in any of the islands of Polynesia. We refer to King George the present reignirig King of Tonga, one of the Friendly Islands of the " South Seas," and local preacher in the Wesleyan Methodist Church. We are unable to state his age, but know that he has been King of that island over twenty years. He is known among ali the South Sea Islands as a remarkable man, and wise ruler, while his fame has extended nbroad to other parts of the world. Sir E. Home, commanding the British man-of-war, Calliope, thus refers to him in " I saw the noble and christian conduct of King George. He can only be compared to Alfred the Great, of blessed memory. He is worthy of being called a King. He is the greatest man in these seas." 1852: In November, Sir E. Home returned in the Calliope to the Friendly " that he might learn the result of the visit of the French ship of Isles, He seemed very anxious that no harm should happen the Friendly Islanders or the King. His visit was an occasion of much joy to all parties. However, the French ship had not arrived. But on the 12th of November, two days after Sir E. Home left Tonga, the Moselle made her appearance. Her commander, Captain Belland, was commissioned by the Popish governor of Tahiti to inquire into certain complaints lodged against King George by the captain of a French whaler, the Gustave of Havre-de-Grace, and also by the Romish priests residing in Tonga. The King obeyed the summons of the captain, and went on board the Moselle, taking witth him his state papaper box, in which he had copies of all his correspondence, especially war. to �Til FRIKND.

Most of the islands or islets of this extensive range or Archipelago, are quite too small to find a place in any School Atlas, or even those maps which purport to embrace all the islands of the Pacific. The Caroline Archipelago is made up of no lc-s than forty-eight small groups, and these groups contain nearly five hundred small islands. Of these five hundred islands, at most, there arc but four or five high islands, hence this Archipelago contains nearly five hundred small coralline islets. The Russian navigator Lutke. makes the following significant remarks respecting these islands " With the exception of the high Islands of Ualan, Ponapi, and Roug, if they were all collected together, and then placed above the spire of the fortress of I'etropauloski, they would not hardly cover all St. Petersburgh and its suburbs. The length of all the islands joined together (I do not mean the reefs) would be 25 German miles; the breadth of but very few of them exceeds 200 yards, and half of them are beneath this measurement." It was our privilege to visit but two islands of this Archipelago, viz: Ualan, Kusaie, or Strong's Island, and Ascension, or Ponapi. Both of these are high islands. They arc basaltic in their formation. From their productions, situation and good harbors, they have been much frequented by ships. They are the only islands upon which missionaries have become located. Missions were established upon both Ualan and Ponapi, in 1852, when the schooner Caroline made the first Missionary voyage to that portion of the Pacific. Some of the Caroline Islands were discovered by the Spaniards in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is chiefly due to the Russian and French navigators, that we are indebted for surveys of these islands. Capt. Duperrey, in the French ship La Coauclle, in 1823, and RearAdmiral Lutke, of the La Seniavine, thoroughly explored and surveyed some of these islands, including Ualan and Ponapi. : XXXIII. ISLAND OF PONAI'I, OR AS< F.NSION. Two days after leaving Strong's Island, we caught a gliinse of Ponapi, but did not come to anchor until the next morning, June 23d. The Morning Star remained at anchor in the middle harbor, eleven days. During this period, it was our privilege to twice visit each of the Mission Stations at Kiti, (Rev. Mr. Sturges') and Shalong, (Rev. Mr. Roberts'.) By day and night, we cruised over the reefs, visited places of interest, and explored the far-famed ruins. This island produces abundantly, yams, bread fruit, bananas, pine apples, squashes, sago, cocoanuts, arrow-root, sweet potatoes, and marry other tropical productions. It is densely wooded and produces several Elliot, the apostle to the Indians of New England, preached his first sermon among them in 1646, but gathered no church until 1660. Long was that night of toil and season of trial. The pioneer missionaries to the " South Seas," labored for nearly twenty years, before the light of morning broke upon their night of trial. At the end of sixteen years, a few converts were gathered, sufficient to occasion the remark, " In that one year they reaped the harvest of sixteen laborious seed-times, sixteen dreary and anxious winters, and sixteen unproductive summers." The first baptism, however, was not administered at Tahiti until 1819, twenty two years after the missionaries landed from the ship Duff. That was indeed a long night of toil, and long trial of the strength of the missionary's faith. The English Missionaries in New Zealand, under the patronage of the Church Missionary Society, labored and toiled for a period of nine years, before they were permitted to administer the rite of baptism to their first converts, and at the end of twenty years the missionries reported but eight baptized converts. During subsequent years the spread of Christianity was exceedingly rapid, for from 1839 to 1849, in one district, the number of baptisms reached 2,893. The American missionaries on the island of Ponapi or Ascension, have been called to pass through a similar night of toil, and season of trial, although not so long. Messrs. Sturges and Gulick landed there in 1852,but it was not until within the past year that a church has been organized: fifty months, in clow succesiou fled. " Twice By faithful hands the gospel lamp was fed," before they were permitted to welcome converts from amongofthe Pouapians, around the sacramental table, and administer the rite baptism. That privilege was granted the Rev. Mr. Sturges, last autumn, when he organized a church at Ronokiti, and another at Shalong. The former now numbers twelve members, (as many as our Saviour gathered numbers six around him, at the end of his evenful life,) and the latter members, all of whom are now walking circumspectly, while a few others are affording the gratifying evidences that their hearts have been A spiritsavingly wrought upon, by the influence of the Holy Spirit. ual work has unquestionably been commenced among the Ponapians.

It remainsustotobelearn that this work is work shall progress. It will not surprise of opposithe people. Symptoms and of chiefs many opposed by the manifested. Some of these oction and annoyance have already been curred about the time of our visit. There was a state of things among the Ponapians, strikingly illustrative of the following philosophic remarkof one of the English missionaries laboring in the " South Seas." is found in the history of missions, that the most severe trials do "notIt generally occur till the gospel begins to take effect So long as all remains in the stillness of spiritual death, the missionary is generally permitted to carry on his work with comparatively little molestation; �68 THE FRIEND. OCTOBER. but when the power of divine truth begins to be felt on the heart, and decided symptoms of spiritual life show themselves, then it is found that the Lord of missions did not say in vain, 'Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth: 1 tell you nay, but rather division.' " These remark* were originally written with reference to the progress of the missionary work on Aneiteum, one of the New Hebrides, but they may vet apply with force to the work of missions in the North Pacific. The friends of missions must not be surprised if such is the fact. (See Cyclopedw of Missions, page 712.) It may not be uninteresting to review the progress of the mission upon Ponapi, orAscension, and see if causes have not been operating to produce a state of things indicated in the foregoing paragraphs. Spanish navigators may have touched at Ponapi, as early as the close of the 16th century, but the island could not have been said to be discovered and explored until 1828, when visited by Lutke, of the RussianCorvetle, La Seniavine. (See Dr. Gulick's third Lecture.) From that time to the present, the island has been repeatedly visited, and become the resort of whaleships. The inhabitants of Ponapi, from reading and observation, we should infer were of the Chinese and Malay races intermingled, having scarcely any physiological or mental characteristics in common with the Polynesian races. Intellectually we believe them to have been decidedly superior to Hawaiians or any Polynesian race which we have seen. Dr. Gulick remarks, in regard to them, that " their minds are extremely inclined to suspiciousness and displeasure, but there seems to be no basis for the darker shades of sullen moroseness. * * The Malayan trait of deception is carried on as far as their loose characters permit." They are divided intofive tribes, the metes and bounds of which, are distinctly defined. Each tribe has its King and Chiefs, high and low. Among these tribes there is a deep rooted jealousy. Although the census of the island would n>t now number over five or six thousand, still the tribal laws are perpetuated, and so far as intercourse is maintained among the chiefs, much stately formality is observed, as appears in their feasts. There is no metropolitan or central government,—no London, or Paris, or Washington. From all we could learn, there is no tendency to union, but each tribe, and the rulers of each tribe choose to remain separate and distinct. We are not sure but the lines of the English poet will be found true when applied to Ponapians: Mountains interposed, Make enemies of nations, who had else, Like kindred drops, been mingled into one." " 'he Ponapians do not even congregate in villages, but their houses scattered, here and there, along the shores or through the forests, around the bays. There existing several good harbors upon the island, s hips have resorted thither for trading and obtaining supplies. From 1 £28 to 1862, vicious indulgences and immoral practices were carried on between the natives and low foreigners, with no one touttera rebuke or interpose a remonstrance. Ascension became emphatically the Paradise of beach-combers, alias escapes from Sydney, and runaway "■ lilors." The influence of this class of persons among the people, was c ril and only evil, and that continually. While visiting the Ronokiti Station. we called upon an old man, who had lived upon the island since 1832, or nearly thirty years. He was sick and approaching the ci id of life. We visited the poor old man three times, and conversed with him freely about the past. When asked, " What could have led yi >u to settle among this people and live so long here ?" his reply was, to lead a life of laziness, drunkenness, debauchery and licentiousness." " his answer told the whole story, and revealed the character of scores T who have found a home upon Ascension. All the vices of civilization w ere rife there, so far as foreigners could introduce them among a degraded and heathen people. It was considered dangerous for ships to touch at some of the harbors. Among such a people, and living under such influences, the American Mission was established in 1852. Hardly had the work been commenced, when, in 1854, the small pox appeared and not merely decimated the inhabitants as at the Sandwich Islands, but actually took every other man, woman and child, reducing the population more than one-half. It will readily be seen thatthe two missionaries, Messrs. Sturges and Gulick, commenced their work under circumstances as unpropitious and unfavorable as it is possible to conceive. The nation was reduced to its lowest state. This generation had inherited the terrible legacy of by-gone generations of superstition, vice and crime, to which was superadded a vast influx of foreign immoralities and vices, upheld and practiced by men devoid of shame, and impelled forward by the spirit of evil. If Christianity triumphs over so many counter influences, it must be the wtfrk of time, and the youthful soldiers of the 18(1. cross, /iced not be surprised if they are called upon to pray, watch and labor, through a long "night of toil."

HEATHEN DEGRADATION INDICATED BY THEIR LANGUAGE. It is the remark of an eminent English writer, To study a people's " at best advantage, language will be to study them, and to study them when they present to us under fewest disguises, most nearly as they are." The truth of this remark is as applicable to the study of the inhabitants of Polynesia as to the polished nations of Europe. In our efforts to arrive at a tolerably correct view of Micronesians, we found no better method, than to sit down with the missionaries, and question them upon their success in communicating with their people upon religious subjects. It is a comparatively eaty matter to pick up a few words and phrases, sufficient to barter in knives, fish hooks, and cloth. The trader may do this, in a few hours, but it is a very different affair to take up a grammatical and accurate study of their languages, so that the missionary may be able to translate the Bible, compile school books, and compose hymns. This however is the missionary's principal work, but it is a work which yields a large reward. It introduces him to the very heart of the people. He sees their naked bodies with his eyes, but the study o f their languages enables him to sec their moral and spiritual nakedness and deformity. Their departure from God may be estimated by their language, agreeable to the words of our Saviour: " But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and these defile the man." Math. 15:18. "How can ye, being evil,spenk good things, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Matt. 12:34. A people's language must indicate their moral character. The missionary becoming intimately acquainted with the language of the heathen, is able to judge, as no other person can, not acquainted with their language, respecting the moral degradation of the heathen. While the languages of Micronesia and other heathen nations or tribes are destitute of words and phrases to convey correct ideas of God and moral subjects generally, yet those same languages abound with words and terms respecting disgusting subjects and forbidden thoughts. Their vocabularies are wonderfully prolific in unchaste and impure words and terms. How painfully the mind of the missionary is tried, when he would translate the Bible into the language of the heathen. He finds that their languages are wanting in the words and terms required for translation. These languages may once have possessed those necessary sounds and terms, but alas, so far have the heathen wandered from the right way, and so grievously have they departed from God, that they have lost correct ideas of the Divine Being and his worship. Hence, the missionary must spend toilsome days and sleepless nights, in his search after the proper terms, words and phrases to express religious truths. We found every missionary in Micronesia, eager in the study of the language of those islanders, where they are located, because there are now four American Missionaries in Micronesia, and each one is endeavoring to acquire the knowledge of what may be classified as a new language, for the inhabitants of Apaiang, Ebon, Kusaie, and Ponapi, speak really different languages, rather than different dialects of the same language. The difficulty attending these labors of the missionary, it of(an �69 THE ¥KIG S t J, OCTOBER. 18*1. very great.

He was told in reply, that according to English law every man who took the property of another was liable tobe put to death. " Then," exclaimed he with animation, addressing tjßGovernor, why do you not hang Captain—[pointing " at the tabic] Captain—lie came to New Zealand, he come ashore and tiki (steal) my potatoes ; you hung Captain " The captain was covered with confusion, for the charge was true, ho had, when off" the coast and in want of potatoes, sent a boat's crow on shore, dug up Tippahec's plantation and carried off the the produce without offering him the slightest remuneration." Would that this was the only similar instance which might be quoted. How many such instances have tended to rouse the enmity of New Zealanders, and it may be true, that could the full history of the intercourse of Englishmen with the New Zealanders, be written out, it would be found that instances of wrong and injustice occurring a half century ago, were so burnt into the souls of the New Zealanders, that they are remotely the cause of that relentless war now raging lietwcen New Zealanders and English soldiers. We now recall to mind the story of an Englishman, from New Zealand, related in our hearing some years ago. In a former war, the seat of which whs the Bay of Islands, the natives were oil' their guard and unprepared for an attack, because it was the Christian Sabbath ! They were told that Christian soldiers would not make an attack <inon that day! Alas, that wits the day when thry rushed in and butchered the unsuspecting savuges!—(Sec Southern Cross, was a STi ppaheeSydney.] lacKson, &c., page 226.) While referring to " the tricks of traders," we recall to mind the instance of a certain shipmaster, (and we could give name of ship und master,) who purchased furs of an Indian in Plover Bay, Arctic, Ocean, and agreed to pay in rum, but so adroitly was the Indian deceived, that he took ashore a keg of salt water ! As if dealing in rum was not sufficiently bad, but the mean souled man must put salt wa(er into the keg, in place of the rum !! What would not such a man do for money ! We frequently met that man in the streets of Honolulu. He acknowledged the deed, but tried to apologize for its baseness. We asked him, could you blame those Indians, if they cut off the next ship which entered their Bay for trade or supplies ? He replied not a word, and we parted. When we reflect upon such instances of guilty meanness and dishonorable baseness, we are inclined to ask, when hearing of ships cut off in Micronesia and elsewhere, perpetrators cause for resentment ?" " have not the guilty If shipmasters and traders, going among savages, arc not influenced by the precept of our Saviour, " Do unto others, as ye would they should do unto you," it is strange that they cannot be induced to act from the principle of self-preservation. If they arc not, very soon some of their seafanng companions may be cast ashore wrecked among those savages. If they are, what but death can they expect will be their fate? There is current among the free blacks of Hayti, a proverb, which we would commend to the consideration of those who are inclined to deal dishonestly with savages —" Before crossing the river, do not curse the crocodile'smother," meaning, provoke not wantonly those into whose power you presently may be cast. While alluding to these instances of dishonorable conduct, on the part of the white man, with his savage brother of a darker skin, it affords us pleasure to record the fact, that many have pursued an opposite course. The savage appreciates honesty and fair dealing. When traders and shipmasters pursue an honorable and upripht course, they are remembered and their second visit will be hailed with joy, but if a trader of the opposite character ever returns, let him beware of the consequences. The trouble is, the innocent are made to suffer for the guilty, as at the Marshall Islands and other localities. A most remarkable illustration of the remark that " the innocent are made to suffer for the guilty," we have in the murder of the Rev. John Williams, the Apostle of Polynesia and Martyr of Erumanga. We copy the following from the Samoan Beporter for March, 1860. The Rev. George Turner in reporting the 14th voyage of the Missionary bark John Williams, makes the following statements respecting his visit to Erumanga, on Saturday, 16th of October, 1839: Anchored in Billion's Bay on the following morning, viz., Saturday, Oct 16th. Mr. Gordon was soon on board, and accompanied by him some of us went ashore, and up the hill to his residence, about 1,000 feet above the level of the sea, and there we found Mrs. Gordon well. - I£6 1 . Owing to the unhealthy swamps on the low grounds, Mr. G. has built his cottage on the high land. Close by tht: house, he has erected a small chapel, and has a fine bell at the one end, which echoes from hill, to hill, and calls the tribes to theii little Zion. " Every spot was associated with the tragic scenes of November, 1839. At the foot of the hill on which the chapei stands is the stream in which Mr. Harris fell, and the beach where Mr. Williams nm into the sea. Down the hill, below Mr. Gordon's study window, is the spot where the oven wits made in which Mr. Williams' body was cooked. Over in another direction is the place where the body of Mr. Harris wus taken. Inland is a grove of cocoanuts, underneath one of which the skull ol Mr. Williams was buried. The bones taken to Samoa by Capt. Croker, in H. .\f. S. Farourilc, in 1840, Wen Ms) the remains of Williams and Hurris. He had no proper interpreter. Tim natives thought he wanted to buy human bmies, imtl look off for sale whatever were handy from one of the adjacent caves, where they deposit their dead. One of the skulls was that of the father of ;t lad We hud for some time with us in our Institution in Samoa. Il is difficult at present, owing to hostility among the tribes, to get at the precise tree under which the skull of Mr. Wiliiitins was buried ; but men let the remains of the martyr rest, and form part and parcel of the toot trf that palm which waves its foliage in every ' breeze, emblematic of the Christian hero's triumph! Apiece of red sealing-wax found in..Mr. W.s pocket was supposed by the natives to be some portable god, and was carefully buried near wherethe skull was laid. Mr. Gordon lately recovered this, and handed it to me, to convey to Mr. W.s children, as the only relic which lie has been able to obtain of their lamented father. At first he thought, from the description of the native, ihat this i-go</." would turn out to be Mr. W.s watch; but when found, it was only red sealing-wax. The clothes and other things lojaki on the body alter the massacre, were all distributed about, with theWrception of this bit of sealing-wax, an inch and a half-long. "We had the pleasure of spending a Sabbath at Krumangn, and met with about 150 of the people in their little chapel. All were quiet and orderly. It thrilled our inmost soul to hear them, as led by Mr. Gordon, strike up the tune of New Lydia, and also the translation and tune of There is a happy land." .Mr. Macfarlane and I addressed " Mr. Gordon. They were startled and deeply interested them through as I told them of former times, when we tried so hard to get intercourse with them, and to show them that we were different from other white men who had visited their shores. When 1 read out the names of seven who swnm off to us in 1845, and to whom we shewed kindness, and took on shore in the boat, it appeared, from the sensation created, that one of them was present. He came, after the service, shook hands, said some two or three more of them were alive, that our visit that duy greatly surprised them, and that they marked our vessel as the one which shewed them kindness, and did not take sandal-wood. They thought us quite different from all the white men with whom they had previously came in contact "On the Saturday, I saw und shook hands with the chief Kauiau, who killed Mr. Williams, and on Monday met with him again. I also saw one of his men, called Oviallo, who killed Mr. Harris.— These two men 'feel ashamed and shy when the John Williams comes. Neither of them was at the service on Sabbath. Probably they have had a fear also which they found it difficult to shake off. I hope, however, that Kauiau has now perfect confidence in our friendly intentions. On the Monday, he and Oviallo walked about with us, shewed us the place where Mr. Harris was first struck, the place in the stream a few yards from it where lie fell, and the course along the road, and down to the beach where Mr. Williams ran right into the sea. Here, too, Oviallo helped us to pick up some stones to take with us as mementoes to surviving friends of the sad event. Mr. Gordon has erected a little printing-office and teacher's residence c| ose to the spot where the first blow was struck at Mr. Harris. I have planted a date palm seed there, in a line towards the stream with the spot where Mr. Williams fell. " But the most striking and permanent memento of that sud day is a great flat block of coral on the road up the hill, about a gunshot from the place where Mr. Williams fell. There the natives took the body, laid it down, and cut three maVks in the stone, to preserve the remembrance of its size. The one mark indicates the length of the head and trunk, and the other the lower extremities, thus : Head and trunk, I Extremities, I 37 inches. | 25 inches. | A native lay down on the spot, and, lying on his right side, with his knees somewhat bent, said, that was how it was measured. �71 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, IS 6 I " When the Camden hove in sight, on that morning of the 20th of November, '39, the Erumangas thought it was a sandal-wooding party returned, who had but recently killed a number of their people, and plundered theirplantations. They were the more confirmed in this impression from the fact that the boat pulled in to the very place where that party had landed before, and erected some huts. That morning, they had all ready prepared heaps of yams and taro for a feast which was to take place close by up the river; they felt galled at the thought of their being stolen by the white men, and determined to try and prevent their landing ; or, if they did land, to attack them if they attempted to go up the river to the place where the yams and taro were. They sent the women and children out of the way, and hid themselves in the bush, but especially off the road leading up along the western bank of the stream. When Mr. Harris made to go up there, and had rene.hed the spot where I have planted the pnlm tree, the shell blew, Kauiau rushed out with bis party, und commenced the attack. Five out of seven who were foremost in the massacre are dead. The people were not united in the affair; some were for it, and some were against it; hence the remark of Capt. Morgan : 'They made signs for us to go away.' But the principal thing in that sad day which melted their hearts with pity was, they say, 'the man in the boat who stood and wrang his hands and wept;' and that, I suppose, was good Capt. Morgan. these scenes, so full of affecting recollections, we " After surveying vessel, and took Kauiau with us. We got him down went off to the into the cabin, and, as this is the first time he has ventured to go below, it proves that he has noio entire confidence in us. We exchanged presents also. We gave him a trifle, and he &td the people brought off to the ship forty yams, twenty heads of taro, and three bunches of bananas —the first present which the missionary vessel has ever had from Erumanga, and the murderer of John Williams. On showing Kauiau all over the ship, we stood before Mr. Williarhs' portrait in the saloon, and told him that was the missionary he killed. He gazed with intense interest, said he thought he could recognize the full face, and the stout body, and was earnest in leading up to it some others who were with him, and in explaining what it meant. Kauiau is still a heathen comparatively. Let us hope that he may soon take a stand on the side of Christ. Mr. Gordon says, that Oviallo is a more hopeful character, and seems to be deeply grieved as he thinks of his having had a hand in killing # n man of God.' " Thus it appears that the apostle to Polynesia, was murdered on account of the iniquitous and wicked conduct of sandal wood traders. " If honesty is the best policy," so "dishonesty is the worst policy." [TO ADVERTISEMENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. J. F. f.OLIMTRN, AUOTIONBEH, Kaahiinißim street, Honolulu,Oaliu. S. P. FORD, M.

Mr. Bicknell, who has just returned from a visit to Washington Island, situated about seventy-five miles to the westward of Panning's Island, iSaoTts as .follows : that there is a lake of fresh water in the center of this island. It is coralline in formation, and is five or six miles in diumeter. The land is'low arid covered with cocoanut and pandtwius trees. In some places the land is a mile in width.

We have a millstone alxnU the neck of our society, to sink us deep in the sea of vice. Our children are corrupted from their infancy j nor can we prevent it.

Nor is this influence confined to mere childhood. If that were all, it would be tremendous. But it follows us into youth, manhood, and old age.

Mr. Stephens, Vice President of the Southern Canfederacy, a native ot Georgia, advocates slavery as the corner stone of the new goverment. Verily, " whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." Testimonial.—A merchant shipmaster informed us, a few days ago, that without the information derived from the Friend, he would have been seriously incommoded and delayed in navigating near the Marquesas Islands. The master of a whaler has just informed us, that he was essentially aided in ascertaining the location of certain Guano Islands, by information derived from the Friend. The merchant captain referred to, procured a full file of our papers* for ten years back. Would not shipowners and shipmasters be the gainers, if their ships were supplied with bound volumes of the Friend ? We are ready to supply bound volumes,, including from fite to ten years, (or five to tenvolumes,) at fl,oo a year, or onehalf the regular subscription-price. We would most earnestly recommend for instant adoption the following "good custom," to all persons who have paid workmen in their employment It is excellent. If any man, with good wages, will not lay up a portion of his earnings, he ought not to find employment in any respectable establishment. We know of mechanics in Honolulu, now penniless, who would have had from one to five thousand dollars " in bank," if they had been obliged to conform to such a regulation. Persons employing young men should offer every inducement to them for laying up a portion of their incomes. A few years since, a you "g man applied to us for a loan off6. We pointed out a v&y of saving his money, when earned, arid he now has frojii three to four hundred dollars in the Savings Bank : Wfll. )8 "It is the custom in the arrangement of the London Times that if a man makes 110 or upwards a week—and he is a poor compositor who does not earn more than that on a daily paper—the proprietors retain in their hands sixty cents of each $6, which is placed at ordinary bank interest to the employee's credit. They thus compel their workmen to save, and the result is that many men, who might under a different system have been penniless, after being thirty years in their employment, are worth perhaps 87500. They dare not on pain of dismissal, ask to be allowed to withdraw a penny of this, except in the event of a marriage or death, or when they are leaving the service; and if they are once dismissed, or leave of their own accord, they are never, on any consideration whatever, again allowed to enter the establishment."

EVERY MISSIONARY TO THE HEATHEN SHOULD HE A PHYSICIAN. This should be the standing rule, and the only exception allowed should be in those instances when the missionary goes to parts of the world where there ure educated physicians. We have not formed this opinion hastily. Some four years ago, at our suggestion, it was discussed at length in the meetings of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and the subject was deemed of sufficient importance to be noticed in the annual "general letter " to the Prudential Committee of the American Board in Boston. We have seen the importance of medical knowledge and information among the missionaries upon these islands, hut during our late cruise through Micronesia, the subject has been impressed by n wider range of observation. While at Apaiang, we witnessed the praiseworthy effort of the Rev. Mr. Bingham, to introduce vaccination. Eight days before our arrival he had visited the whale shin Belle, Capt. Brown, and obtained some excellent vaccine matter from the arm of Capt. B's infant child. The evening before our departure from Apaiang, Mr. Bingham, Capt. Gelett, and another person present, undertook the work of vaccination. We hope our humble efforts may prove as successful as those of Dr. Jenner, who first discovered the wonderful antidote to the small-pox, but never did we feel so much the importance of medicalknowledge. Mr. Bingham laments his deficiency in this respect. Medical knowledge would increase his influence and usefulness, we verily believe, at least twofold. The Hawaiian Missionaries on Tarawa, are not supposed to know much about curing bodily diseases, yet applications are made to them for medical advice! At the Marshall Islands, this subject was forced upon our consideration by a most painful combination of facts. There was sickness in the missionary's family, but no physician was at hand. There was sickness among the people, but there was no physician who felt confidence in his ability and skill, yet Mr. Doane was continually compel'ed to administer medicines and prescribe remedies. Mr. Doane felt so strongly upon the subject, that even now, at the age of thirty-six or seven.te is contemplating a visit to the United States for the purpose of attending a course of Medical Lectures. During our detention at Kusaie, or Strong's Island, the same subject came upfor consideration. Mr. Snow hasbeen obliged to administer medicines. He is living among a diseased people. With medical knowledge, he might not have been able to have saved a wasting race, but he might have enjoyed the satisfaction of having made an intelligent effort. He has done what he could, but often has been obliged to administer medicines', when medical knowledge might have led him to have acted differently. The natives will have medicines. They are believers in tjke art! King George's favorite son was dangerously sick a few years Wo, and a whaler arrived in port. The king hurried for medicine. The shipmaster gave him a bottle of something, and the following morning, the young man was a corpse. The King was heard to remark, Well, the Captain's intentions were good." On our" arrival at Ponapi, we very soon became acquainted with facts in abundance, to show the importance of medical knowledge among missionaries. What would not the Rev. Mr. Sturges have given tor medical knowledge during the ravages of the small pox ? The following is an extract from his journal, published in the Missionary Herald for May, 1855: " July 12, 1854. The Lord's hand is heavy upon us. Never did death work more fearfully, or with less opposition. The panic-struck natives fly to the mountains and to uninhabited islands; then they come back again, and seize some victim of the disease to carry to their homes, thus spreading the contagion to all parts, so that a spot cannot be found where it is not doing fearful execution. Never was desolation more complete. 11 Nor is it a small ingredient in our bitter cup, that we can do no more to lessen the evil. Our destituton of vaccine matter, the power of the priests over a bigoted people, together with the stories of abandoned foreigners respecting our bringing the sickness here and oar intention to kill all the natives, render our efforts to come into contact with th«r sufferings nearly fruitless. They often resort to the basest deceptions to keep us from the dwellings of the sick, that the additional curse of our presence may not fall upon them. Much has been said to them about inoculation ; but they do not understand its nature ; and as it would kill some, and serve to spread the contagion, it seems a matter of prudence not to press it. " In these circumstances, with the dying groans of thousands in our ears, forced by heathen superstition and a heathenized civilization from sufferings which we would gladly mitigate, shutout from all connection with a Christmn world, we love to think of the thousands who remember us at the throne of grace. It is sweet to go there often ourselves, and to those rich promises, They that sow in tears shall reap in joy ;' Lo, I am with you always.' " 20. For weeks I have been mostly confined to our own district, going about but little, as our Nannkin keeps his people at their homes, allowing but little intercourse, wishing to keep the sickness at a distance. This is a large district, and nearly the only one where the small-pox has not made ravages. this temporary seclusion, the Nanakin, with his train, has " During been quite attentive to his books, coining to my house every diiy for instruction. " Besides my ordinary teaching, I have tried to communicate some things respecting the treatment of the smull-pox to the people through him anil I hope I have not utterly failed. He would, no doubt, request to lie inoculated, were it not for the fears of others. We rejoice, and would have our friends rejoice with us, in a more unobstructed and friendly contact with this suffering, deluded people." Successful Inoculation.—As Mr. Sturges has not received a medical education, it will be seen in the following extract that he assumed a very grave responsibility. There are few men who would not shrink from such a measure.—(El. of Missimuvry Herald.) "Augusts. I have this day inoculated our Nanakin. This is decidedly the greatest venture of my life. If he does well, nil will Inwell ; if he dies, we can hardly expect to escape savage violence. We try to work the Lord's will; and we know he always makes issues for ' ' ; _ the highest good. "12. I have this day re-inoculated the Nanakin, and with him a favorite brother. This showshis determination, and his conlidence in the missionary. Never did I feel more the need or help of special pleadings with the great Physician than now. "25. These anxious weeks are over. The Nanakin is well, having had the sickness so lightly that it is hard to feel he has been sick. His brother also is doing well. To the Lord let all glory be given ! I am now very busy inoculating. Every tody, far and near, urges me to this. I have now, and shall have for weeks, more than I can do. Poor people ! Some of them will die, prolwbly many, and 1 must have the credit of killing them. I do sometimes tremble at my responsibilities ; but I will never shrink, so long as I can feel that the hand of my Master is about me. The Nanakin accompanies me in my visns to distant parts of the tribe. This he does that I may not have to propel my own canoe, and to give more influence." Another extract will indicate the hazard of medical practice among such a people. It will also illustrate the mastery which superstition has gained over them.—(Ed. Missionary Herald. ) " September 10. A high chief, a subject of inoculation, has just died. He was one of the worst men we had, occasioning nearly all the wars between the tribes, as also robberies, neighborhood quarrels, Arc. He urged the killing of the missionary, awhile since, as the cause of the sickness. Failing in this he fled to a small island, where he remained for months, until the small-pox broke out on his premises on the main land, when he returned. Seeing me inoculate the Nanakin, he begged with tears that I would do the same thing for him. Through all his sickness he was anxious to see me, as he seemed to have the greatest dread of dying. He might have lived; but at the crisis of his disease, the spirits appeared, saying, ' Come away,' ' Come away.' On receiving this order, he was carried several miles, which was too much for his weak body. Such orders for a change of place are almost always given in the later stages of sickness, and doubtless cause many deaths. Many are unquestionably buried alive. There are frequent cases of persons rising from their grave-clothes. This fact suggested to them the return of the soul to the body, after a temporary absence. They hurry the corpse into the ground, to keep any stranger from looking upon it, as this would greatly offend the spirit. All the fears of the living seem to center in the agency of departed spirits. If one is sick, or meets with any calamiity; if any noise is heamat night; if anything singular happens, it is the work of ghosts." fcuch facts, as the foregoing, are sufficient to convince any candid mind that a missionary to Micronesia, should be a physician as well as clergyman. There are very many other missionary fields where the �THE FRIEND.

In former years we have published several articles upon the ruins on Ascension or Ponapi, as our readers may learn by referrng to the Friend, for December 17, 1852, and August 2(ith, 1851 Every person visiting the island, shoukl not by any means leave without'taking far a look at these remarkable ruins. In extent antl regularity, they exceed those upon Kusaie. The ruins were first discovered by a sailor name of James F.O'Connell, who was wrecked in the English whale ship John Bull about the year 1827 or '28. This man resided several years upon the island, and subsequently escaped and finally to the found his way to Boston. There he found friends, who listened story of his adventures and published a volume, entitled, A Residence Islands; being the Adof eleven years in New Holland, and the Caroline ventures of James F.

In former years, the clothing of these people consisted of matting made from the pandanus leaf; the men wore maros, and the women the pau, and also the kihei.

Thirty-six of the number being church members. My intercourse with these people has been of the most pleasing the kind. I thank God for granting me the privilege of witnessing triumphs of His grace among these islanders. I begin now to have a hope of the christianization of all the islands of Polynesia. This work is pre-eminently that of native missionaries. It can be carried on with the aid of only a few foreign ones. Neither is there a necessity to translate the scriptures into all the different dialects, since one make him your strength. He will keep you in the noisiest forecastle, under the hardest captain, commanding the hardest crew, in the most rowdy saloon—though you have no right to be long there—among the most depraved islanders. But why are not more kept under those circumstances ? because Christ is not there ? Nay, he is there.there waiting to strengthen— but they look not to him, and so perhaps feeling? they are secure without just then needing his strength—fall! O how stdly. God has poured fourth in measureless quantity healthy air. W herever we go we have only to breathe it, and live and be strong. Equally omnipotent is Christ's strength. There is no place where you are, but that it is there. And you have only to breathe it and live. As we h»ve said, you have fallen, and multitudes of others have fallen, not because Jesus was not present in your temptation to aid you, but because you failed to take in of his strength. If you, kind reader, be of the class there mentioned, quickly turn you to Christ. Be strong only in Jesus. Learn that " without " him you can do no nothing, and you shall E. T. D. be a holy, happy Christian man. [For the Friend. | Without Me Ye Can do Nothing. John xv:G. The aid of Jesus is absolutely essential to any true reform. This is true whether of the individual or of society. The individual only becomes truly a good man just in proportion to his strength in Jesus. And so is it with society. And it is from the want of this strength we see so many failuresfailures in individuals, and failures in societies and the like. Failing here, they hnvc been obliged again arid again, it may be, to reorganize in order to succeed. How slow are those* who try to a certain extent to bo good, to learn the great truths the Saviour tells us. They look to almost everything else for strength, but him. Many pray in their own strength, or at least not in Christ's strength, and so read their Bibles, &c., and so go to meetings to hear the word of God —and so resolve to be good, and so in fact repent. And what is the consequence? Like all humnn aids, they breuk down. In their prayers it was not to Christ as a living, indwelling Saviour they prayed, in reading their Bibles it was not to "grow in knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." And in all good resolutions and in their professed repentance, Christ was not the foundation. And consequently in a few months their piety has all evaporated. But how different with him who makes Jesus his first and all. In the repentance of such an one, how vast is the contrast. Just as vast as it is between the works of man and the works of God. The works of God are everlasting, the works of man frail and easily destroyed. The repentance that is of Jesus is firm, all enduring; no circumstance, no clime can change it. The other repentance breaks down almost under the first temptation. Perhaps, kind reader, you are one who has often, and perhaps long tried to be good; but you have failed andnowsny, for you it is of no earthly use. You can't be a good man. Let me ask if you have not attempted all this without the strength of Jesus? If so, no wonder you have failed. You have resolved many a time to be a good man, a Christian, and have resolved so to be in view of friends or of society, or of the evils even of sin, but your resolves have failed you. 'Tisbecause you have done all without Christ. No man will fail who makes Jesus the anchor of his hope. Repentance out of love to Christ is all-enduring. But will Christ keep me under all circumstances? He will, if you truly rest in him— translation may suffice for those which are the nearest resembling, as we see in the case of the Rarotongan and Manihiki languages. I see no reason now why the Hawaiian literature may not be introduced into the Marquesas. The' resemblance between the Rarotongan and the language of Manihiki, is not very much greater than that between the Hawaiian and the Marquesan. This shift I believe may be adopted with success, should the means not be at hand for printing the Scriptures in the Marquesan language. I have exercised the Manihiki and Rakahanga people in Bible class, and have found them fluent readers of the Rarotongan Scriptures. With a little patient instruction, Mnrquesnns may become as equally proficient in the Hawaiian. The teachers employed among these islanders, seem to be more eminent for their love for souls, than for their learning. The true missionary salt is the unction for souls." EiO», June, I 1881. The Monster Cannons.—The London Army and Navy Register describes the new American principle of casting large guns hollow, and cooling them by means of a current of water through the interior. It considers that this invention has introduced a new era in the casting of large iron cannon, and it describes the monster 15-inch gun which was cast at Fort Pitt Foundry, Pittsburg, and now mounted at Fort Monroe. The largest piece of ordnance hitherto made in England is, what is called the gun," which is mounted at South "SeaHorsfall Castle, Portsmouth. It weighs 22 tons, and throws a solid shot of 360 pounds. It has been tested with charges of 50 pounds of powder, and 130 rounds have been fired. At 18 degrees clcvntion its range was 5,000 yards. It was cast in the old way, and is unmistakably inferior to the American gun, inasmuch as a crack about three inches in length has already been formed in its chamber. The American gun has already fired 300 rounds, and the most delicate tests have failed to detect the slightest derangement in it. Rodman's perforated cake powder, which is used for American artillery, is much superior to the English powder. It starts the shot more gently, and the tendency to bursting is therefore not so imminent. With 40 pounds of powder as a charge, the initial velocity of the shot of the American gun was found to be 1,328 feet per second; and the greatest range attained at an elevation of 28 degrees, was 5,730 yards, the shot being 425 pounds. So far as we know, the American " great gun " is the greatest gun in the world. It is true there are some oldfashioned Turkish cannon at Constantinople, which can throw shot of 1,200 pounds weight, but the charge of powder which they can take is so small, that no vessel passing the forts ot 500 yards distance would receive much harm from them. A single shot from the Amorienn gun at Fortress Monroe, striking an iron frigate, would make it reel as if it had received the concentrated kick of 33,000 horses. Queen Victoria a Model Mother.— A clergyman at a missionary meeting in England stated that the teachers and nurses for the royal children were selected for their merit, without regard to religious denomination. All the heads of the department about her majesty were pious people. The teacher of the Prince of Wales was a non-con- formist, and before his appointment was twice subjected to severe questionings by her majesty and Prince Albert to test his knowledge. When the last child was born, a Wesleyan was selected for a nurse another nurse in her household was a Baptist. Every child born in the royal family was born amid many prayers from the pious members of the household. In the training of her children a primary regard is paid to moral andreligious duties. They rise early, breakfast at eight, and dine at two, and their various studies and exercises are prescribed with almost military exactness. They arc ; carefully instructed in the study of ancient and modern authors, are trained in riding and military exercises, and in the accomplishments of music and drawing, while a carpenter's shop has been fitted up for the young princes with all the tools necessary to n thorough knowledge of the business, so that they may become theoretically antL practically acquainted with the useful artaW of life. The evening meal, preparation Tor the morning lessons, and religious instructions close the day. Prince Alfred, who is in the navy, messes with the midshipmen, and is treated by his messmates as in all respects one of themselves. He however is strictly denied the privilege of smoking, which is indulged in by other officers.— Ex. Paper. �79 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1861. ADVBHTfSaRRWTS. Information Wanted ! ADVERTISEWIENTS.

July, cruised off the west coast of Kninschatka in the latitude of 52 ° 00, for right whales ; saw a few, but they were very wild. August, went to the south end of theSea, hut saw nothing. September, cruised off the 50th passage, saw quite a number of whales, but the weather was very rough. Left the OchoUk flnt of October ; had light winds and pleasant weather on the passage down. One ofour seamen named GeorgeStaphs, ha>l his leg broke by a whale, but he has quite recovered Irum theaccident. llrpart of bnrlt Tnineilitin. First went to Kodlack and cruised there until the Ist of July, and found whales saw so plentiful as In former years, but quite tame*, struck seven, saved only three—onesunk, and the other three ran so fast, we thought it advisable to cut the lines and give them a clear course, they proving themselves to be fast racer* ; the ones we saved were very poor. Next left for the Arctic, passed Kast Cape Aug. 7, and two days after saw three ships take whale* on the Compass Ground. We stopped there a few days, took nothing, and then steered for Cape Lisbon ; from thence to Icy Cape, In company with the Montreal. I tookanother whale on the 25th Aug. Took our last whale on theoth Sept.. which made the sixth this season. We had two heavy gales from the southward, during which a piece of ice struck the hark, and I thought the veaaet was atove, but on examining foundshe was only slightly damaged. Sept. 20, saw plenty wild cows with large calves close in to Gore's Island. Sixty miles to the B.W. of St. Paul's Island, struck a right whale, theofficer was knocked oat of the boat, and had to slack Hue to pick him up in so doing, we lost the only right whale that we struck this season. Saw plenty for several days after, but the weather was so very nigged we left for the 72d passage, passed through the Ist |>assage Oct. 2, and the 73d passage on the sth. Kncountered five gales on the passage down—three from the South, one from the Kast and one from tbe North. The gales from tbe southward lasted for 14 days, with a heavy sea the wind moderated and shifted all at once to N.W., and the sea became In adreadfully confused state I badheard of such seas, but this time I aaw them; there were three rollers, one after tbe other, and If the third had struck us I think we would not have beenleft to relate the fact They looked like small mountains tumblingover and over, ami I really never saw breakers onetenth so large aa they were I can't begin to describe (hem half as bad as they were. I allowed It waa a pretty sight, but my officers thought different, and wished never to see the like again. Josnr* Wihlow. . , , , - • Report of bark Alice. We hail light weatheruntil arriving In latitude 40° 00 N.. where we fetl in with a continuationof heavy, rugged weather. We arrived in the wicinlty of the Kurile Islands j passed through the tfalc* without damage, except the splitting of our main topsail. Passed through the 50th passage in the Strain, steering N.N-W., blowing strong from the southward. At 3 P.M., lat. 62 c 00 N., long. 163* 07 X., we came up with the ice, carry. itig all sail, not expecting to find It so far South ; we immediately shortened sail, braced sharp up, and worked out without much damage, although theie was a heavy swell and a thick snow-storm at the time. In the course of theday, saw the hark Pacific and ship Polar Star. Worked along to tbe N.ti. among the ice, hoping to find clear water. May 22, was near the west coast of Kamschntka, sai'ingnortherly between tin* ice and tlie land, in company with live other vessels, having from 10 to 20 miles of clear water. At dark, we hove to under close-reefed topsails and fore topmast-staysail, supposing ourselves to be distant aVnit 23 miles from laud. Saw the Polar Star and Oliver Crocker rather close together inshore, Hie latter, in wearing, struck six times, but finally got off clear. The Polar Mar, iv wctiring, got i IT la-fore the wind and went ashore ; they endeavored to get her oil', cut away the spnrs so m to ease her, but then- brrfng a heavy seaon, the soon bilged and II lied with water. At 3 A. M. the Oliver Crocker Isire down to us with her ensign hall-ma*and lighted lamps. On cmniiu/ up with us, thereported the Polar Star as being ashore. Both vess-ls made nil sail, and worked up to the wreck against a strong northerly current ami a heuvy wea, and mily Iron one to five utiles ol clear water, and we made slow progress ; however, the weathernode* rated, and at 4 P. M, the Captain, with his uflin-i.t .nul crew cameoffin their boats, and the crew was divide." to e,t< h ship. Next morning, we came ahreiist of tlie wreck mid anchored in 11 miliums water. Parties I'rniii laith vessels went on shore, nitd succeeded in selling her us she lay, at nuetlon, ('apt. Cochran being the pur-baser. The officersand ore* saved sjaaw of their things. Some atiilT was got off from the wreck, ami then only at half-titles ; the ships being diftaut altout 10 mile*, m,d tloice routing down so thick, that we gave it up. 1 he wreck Wwß hit in Ist. 50= 00 N.. long. 165- 5o K. Through the klndtn as of Captains OrinsbJ,Foster and Kil'.iner, IWH relieved of nil but six of the shipwrecked men, white souM of the Captains of Otter vessels refused to take any of tie in. The hitter part June, I cruised in Ta\i-k Bey, hut saw no whales; first part of July, I cruised about the *' Weed Groand" for right wlinh s, noil saw aitiht whale*, in thermuieiil ten days struck one and lost him. The weather Mag heavy snd ragged, with rain ami fog, and no sight for whales, 1 left for the K.K. Gulf, where 1 saw bowheads lor five days—the only ones I hail Man during the season* struck three, and only cavtd one. Next cruised along the North Shore as fur as Oewotak City, up to Sept. 6, and there found Cupt. Walker, of ihip Alice Frur.ier, Which vessel was lost in the ice last Decerntier. After fastening her to the short*. Intending to take out the provision*, her linen purled, she drifted to sea and has not been heard of since. The Captain, officers and crew were distributed among the Kussian settlements, became short of provisions, ar.d finally were obliged to apply to theOovornor for assistance, who kindly supplied tlieiu with the beat he had. I found the government short of every kind of provisions In some uf the towns, tea was as high aa $& l*-r th.,and flour, rice, sugar, etc., in tlie same ratio. Capt.

More George Kay who named it Boston Island. than fifty distinct species, however, will be - found. We will mention some which enter chiefly into the support of native life. The Artocarpus is represented by some eight or ten varieties, one, the A. integrifolia—and the rest A. incisa. The Pandanus odoratissimus is represented by some twenty varieties. Its fruit enters largely into the native food. It is prepared in large rolls enclosed with its own leaf,—and may be kept for years. The cocoanut (Cocos nucifera) is represented by some ten varieties distinguished only by the nut. Two varieties of tarro (Arum esculentum) is quite plentifully grown. It is raised in large beds prepared somewhat for it. These beds differ from those found on the Kingsmill islands. They are not as there, excavations carefully worked out and good soil prepared and worked in. They seem in a measure to be natural excavations, perhaps the sunken hollows between hillocks. These hollows with some little preparation would answer the purpose : —at least their origin at this day is unknown. If a native be asked concerning them, he invariably refers them to the work of spirits. Around the margin of these arum patches, are grown bananas in quite plentiful crops. And the larger islets have just sufficient to raise oranges and figs, which the missionaries are now growing. This atoll is the home for a few varieties of birds. But in this feature of the island, the contrast is as wide between the " low coral" island and the "high volcanic" one —as between their natural features. The high islands of Micronesia are largely supplied with the feathery tribe,—but thjs atoll can claim only a very few birds—and with two or three exceptions these are all water fowl. There are a few Columbidm, Carpophaga oceanica, which manage to elude the keen search of the natives. These birds are occasionally heard cooing away in the tops of some quite isolated bread-fruit tree. A Cuculus gives forth occasionally its sharp whistle—and these, with the addition of another land bird whose species I have not been able to learn—are all the feathery songsters this atoll can claim. The shores o( the reef at low tide, and the bare rocks, are a little enlivened by the brown and white Heron. Small /locks of snipe (Scolopax) gather on the sand bars— or single individuals are running along the An occasional beach picking up food. plover (Charadnus) is to be seen. Sea swallows (Sterna Stolida and Sterna Minutia) are skimming the watersof the lagoon or resting on the beach. A Booby (Lula) now and then is seen sailing over the island. His home is unknown to the natives. His want of caution is clearly seen in the easy way a native will ascend a tree in which the bird is roosting and with a slipnoose capture him. An interesting explanation of the origin of the single variety of the Cuculus is given by the natives—so skillful has this bird been in concealing its birth-place. As the natives find it only full grown they say that it is born and nourished in the cloud.-* and falls to the earth of full size. At least five species of reptiles are found on the atoll. Four are of the Lacertimdx— and one, Geckotide. The Gecko readily domesticates himself, and lives upon tho house flies and gnats he finds. The Lacertinidce find their homes on trees and bushes. . �83 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1861. The varieties of insects are interestingly numerous. It might seem as though these atolls, so comparatively recent in their origin, would be but feebly represented by any varieties of animal life. But the entomologist will find here not an uninteresting field of study. The most common kind of insect is the parasite Pedicuhis, disgustingly numerous in the heads of natives: a large size Libellula, dragon fly, is quite numerous, and a few of the diurnal and nocturnal Lepidoptera are found. Of unts and mosquitoes and flies there are large swarms. Of theculez there is probably a new kind, which might be called diurnal culex. They are very small and almost as numerous as those more commonly seen at night. Of Scolopendra—Centipedes—there are many to be found and of rather formidable size—though we rarely hear of their, biting any one. There arc several varieties of Spiders. Tho scorpion, though found on the atoll, is small and harmless. The Crustacea are numerous on land and in the water. We seem to have a great since, there was a passage sufficiently large to let a proa pass over the reef between what was then two islets. Now that passage has been filled up, and large bushes grow there. The only tree of any size is the cocoanutand Pandanus,which have been planted. The fact we would state as illustrative of two points—one bearing on the fact we have just referred to—the rate of growth of an islet—and the other, that large islets are made by stringing as it were, together several smaller ones. It may be questioned whether a large islet, say some two or three miles long, is one continuous production ; it was rather formed by several smaller islets becoming attached and the whole in time becoming one large islet. This fact I think can be clearly proved to have been the case with the growth of the islet of Ebon. There are several spots which may be indicated as the welding points of small islets. These places are usually narrower, and less overgrown with bushes and trees, and possess a thinner soil than other parts of the whole islet. Then again there are places which abundance of the Paguridae—hermit crabs. are expanded, just as if they had been the I hav.e thought they were more numerous on central nucleii of the islets.

We are now deeply interested in watching lagoons and the Marshall islands. It will be noticed, on the reef of this atoll, the formation of sand banks at one or two that besides the islet of Ebon there are nine- points. As yet they are shifting about—as teen others. All of them are much smaller the winds ana seas prevail for a given time than Ebon, though for their size they are from any quarter; they are as yet covered equally fertile. Some of them seem to be by high tides. One of these sand banks is veritable fairy-lands —so soft is the green between Eni-armeth, and the northern point grass which covers them—and the deep of Ebon.

L., 145 ° 35 E. L. The course of the vessel since she went adrift had been nearly due South, about B°. She showed marks of contact with the ice, but was tight and strong, apparently the same as when abandoned. There were plenty of provisions and whaling gear on board, but as the Milton had just left home she had no occasion to "wreck," hence the good ship Alice Frazier was left to float on, until wrecked upon the Japanese Islands, or shores of China. A Maritime Engagement.—The battle to which we now refer, took place not in the Gulf of Mexico, or off Charleston, but in the Ochostk Sea, between three boats' crews of whalemen, and a school of Killers," or species of small whale. The "battle occurred about the first of August. A whale and calf had been killed, when a school of "Killers" made their appearance. They would enter his mouth and bite off pieces of his tongue, dragging the dead carcass under water; but our hardy whalemen were not disposed to allow their gigantic prey to escape. Armed with harpoons and lances, they made a desperate onslaught upon the killers. Now came the tug of war. One boat was stove and one sailor had a leg broken. The killers fought desperately, and their opponents were as determined. There was no panic on either side—no Bull's Run affair! The killers would rush on, and did not yield until it was supposed the "whole school " of twenty five or thirty were killed. The carcass of the dead whale was finally rescued and towed off by the whale ship Pacific. Who will deny that whaling is a " good school " to train men for naval service ? The Missionary Martyrs onErromanga.—The following we copy from the San Francisco Bulletin, and that paper is indebted to a Melbourne paper for the same: The Rev. G. N. Gordon, missionary of the"London Missionary Society, and his wife, have been barbarously murdered by the natives of Erromanga, one of the New Hebrides. The measles having of late raged at that island and killed off a great many of the natives, the latter have got a notion that it has been introduced by the whites, and determined, it would seem, on a general massacre of the latter. The good missionary and his wife have, however, been the only victims as yet. Both were killed treacherously by blows from behind, given by men who pretend to be friends. The bodies (fearfully mangled) have been recovered and buried. This is the same island at which the Rev. John Williams and Mr. Harris were butchered in the year 1840." Commenting upon this news, the Herald calls attention to the fact that the most deeply affected ef the mourners at the graves of murdered missionaries, was the very man whose hand had struck the first missionary that landed on those shores—John Williams. �85 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1861.

Wyatt Gill says; "Our work here in Mangia is going on very well. True, indeed, we have not all sunshine, nor is it all shade. Our grounds for encouragement are very great indeed. A few days hence I hope to admit twenty-four to the church at Ivirua and Oneroa. At Rarotonga a great revival has taken place ; upwards of eight hundred individuals have joined the CIfISSCSa In confirmation of this statement a native teacher of Rarotonga writes: " This is a season of great joy in Rarotonga. Multitudes of men and women, and young persons, have been led to abandon their former evil practices, and their backsliding, and have with all their heart believed upon Christ, and have been admitted into the fellowship of the church. It was in the month of August last this thing grew, and gave us joy. I have no time to tell you more; the ship is going away soon, but I write to toll you that it is well with us and the Church of God here.

Arrived on thewhaling ground June 16 cruised principally In B.W. and tihantar Bsys, and found the weather foggy, with much ice, during July and August, tbe weather became good towards the close of the season. Saw the first whales June 21 took the first July 16, and the last on the 21st Sept. Together with the Elisabeth, we took twelvebowheads this season. Ifaw most whales first part September in B.W. Bay. Left the Ochotsk Oct. 10, and came through the 60th passage on the 16th ; had good breexes from the westward till the 32d, when a strong gsle sprung up B.K, In which we lalrt-to for about six hours. On the 24th, we fell in withanother gsl« from the westward, lat. 43° N., long. 171° W. ; after that we had good breezes till Oct. 30, in tat. 32° N., long. 160° W., when we had five days calm. Took the trades in lat. 39 36. long. 168 °, and carried them to Honolulu. JXT B*rit Elizabeth, Whitney, reports—We cruised in the Ochotsk in companywith our Tender, (the Kalatna,)the particulars of which cruiseare embodied in Capt Kelly's report. I will thereforemerely give a short account of our own troubles, etc. On our passageup, May 26, had a severegale,commencing from B.K. and ending at N. W., whichlasted for thirty-six hours; lost our mlcen staysail, had the rudder-head nearly broken off, and started the vessel leaking. Four daysafter, encountered another gale from tbe same direction, in which we lost a jib,flying jibboom and fore topgallant-mast, with all the gear attached, and the leak increased. From that time till we started for home, enjoyed good weather. Left Felixstoff Oct. 10, and had strong favorable winds to the Straits, the vessel at that time was leaking 600 strokesper hour. Came through the 60th passage on the 17th. Fell in with another heavy gsle on the 22d, In lat. 47° 60 N., long. 170° 15 X., from S.K. and finally Teered to the westward, from whence it blew with terrific violence. In this, thelast and worst gale this season, we lost three larboard and all thestarboard boats from the cranes, split the head-rail, stove in the cabin windows, and increased theleak to about 1600 strokes sn hour. At one time theleak was so bad, and appeared to be gaining, that we had serious doubts as to our safety. On examining toe ressel, we found the principal leak to be in the bows, and whenever she plunged heavily the water would rush in in perfect streams, and we bad sometimes from four to five feet of water In the hold. Had two deaths on board this season —one, a native named Nuuanu, fell from the yard whilereefing, and was instantlykilled *, the other, named Naumike, died of consumption—both belonging this place.

Intersing to Captains.—The BostonComercial Bub/ewfli<whnv,cbeseramyg-odin en generally as excellent authority in nautical matters, has the following remarks on working the mainsail In stays, which, we think, commcad themselves to much attention. The Bulletin has long been urging that to being weak-handed in crews is attributable the majority of marine disasters. Our contempo- rary says: Our squarerigged vessels, ofall classes, invariably haul their mainsails np before tacking, because they hare not men enough to work them. It is well known to seamen that tbe mainsail is the most powerful sail in a vessel, because It is large and near the centre of effort; its propelling force, there fore, Is very desirable in bringing a ship round, for th« greater her speed, the quicker she will answer her helm and stay. We frequently hear thatcertain ships will not stay, that they must be wore from one tack to the other ; the reason is obvious, they cannot work their mainsails. Our pilots state that when they have to beat a vessel in against a northwester, they single the tacksand sheets ofthis sailand lead themainbraces forward, and by these means they are enabled to make vessels stay, which their captains, in many Instances, had stated never came round head to wind before, because their mainsails could not be worked. One of our clippers, a fine, long, sharp vessel, when working out of Sangor, below Calcutta, was declared by her captain to be incapable of staying i vat least," said be, addressing tbe pilot, -* I could never gether round head to wind." What you can doand I can do," replied the pilot, "are very different frequently have worked this vessel before; I know things. I allaliout her ; and can makeher do anything whichany Teasel of her like can do." Like our own pilots, he had her main tacks and sheets singled, worked the mainsail,Snd experienced no difficulty in bringing herround every tackThere Is no difference of opinion among seamen about the value of the mainsail in stays, either in bringing a vesselround quickly or In aiding her to hold her own, but, as we have already remarked, the sail cannot be worked for want of men. We have little doubt that many fine American vessels have been lost In consequence, when working off a lee shore. In heavy weather this sail ought to be carried as long as iiossible when working on the land, especially if there Is an adverse sea, and thatall vessels ought to carry mvn enough to workit. Every class of English square riggers, exrept, perhaps, some of the timber vessels of North America, work the mainsail. The clumsy colliers, which are nearly semi-circular in the ends, always use it while they csn carry it for the best of reasons vis.: they would not stay without it. The English and American in stays haul round the yards upon the main and roixxen masts at the same time \ but the French, being better manned than either, haul all their yards at ones and work tbe mainsail also. Probably the English collier brigs and barques are the most handily rigged vessels for working in the world, and are unquestionably the best manned. Their crews before shipping, if required, must produce their indentures of appenticcship, showing that they have served their time to the sea—thus their hands are what they profess to be, seamen Though all of them carry apprentices, yet these in a few months are ■ > thoroughly trained that they are nearly as ser vUseable as men. When a collier has to he stayed, the captain takes the wheel himself, works the trysail, and lends a hand to haul aft the main sheet; he gives all the orders, and helps to carry them out And we believe, in some of our brigs, If the same system were adopted, the same results might be obtained. Although our vessels are generally short-handed, compared with th« English, yt we have more prirlledged persons. We carry a cook and a steward, who arc seldom called upon to aid tbe sailors, and as for the captain putting his hand lo a rope, even In working ship—it Is an act of rare occurrence. Now, an English collier hasa boy—generally the youngestapprentice— who performs the duty of cook and steward, and who mu«t always be on hand when the Teasel Is In stays; from ths captain downward, all must work. Even short-handed as our vessels usually are, we think If their captains would bestow a little attention in selecting their crews, and would take ths wheel tiiemselves in stars, most of our barques and brut might be able to work their maiusaila in stays.

Sailing through these calm unruffled waters, I wis greatly impressed with the beau- ties of the luxuriant isles of Borneo and Celebes, and on looking over my chart one Sunday morning, in company with a missionary passenger, we were both struck with the poetical names in the East India Archipelago. My clerical friend begged me to give him my ideas of the state of things in the year 1900, if the nations of the earth keep peace, and bind their united energies to the glorious task of enlightenment in the heathen lands, now in darkness, and I gave him the following VISION OF 1900.

Nami'iis, (Tarn sad O«roni»,)) Juij v, lsei. i I am going to draw the attention of your readers to a very remote country, but one in which France, and also the great cause of the gospel, are interested. You remember probably what occurred, during the years 1842, '43 and '44, in the Society Islands, and particularly in that of Tahiti. The whole of Europe was agitated by these events, and never did King Louis Phillip fully recover from the crises which he provoked. The inhabitants of Tahiti were almost all converted to Christianity; they possessed missionaries, churches, a regular worship, schools, and even a liberal political Constitution. Their advance in civilization was wonderfully rapid. This prosperity excited the jealousy of the Popish priests, who resolved, according to their usual custom, to resort to arms in order to establish themselves in the Islands of the Pacific; and, with the aid of Louis Phillip, or rather of Queen Maria Amelia, a bigoted princess, a French squadron, commanded by Admiral Dupetit Thouars, penetrated to the Island of Tahiti, threatening to bombard the city. This odious invasion greatly shocked the religious community of England. The two Governments exchanged hostile notes, and war was upon the point of breaking out between the most powerful nations of Europe because of this little island situated at the other end of the globe. At last, Lord Aberdeen and M. Guizot consented to make an arrangement; the missionary PritcAard, who had been abused by the French officers, received an indemnity, and the protectorate of France was recognized by the Cabinet of St. James. The Roman Church hastened to send missionaries to Tahiti und the neighborhood around, who neglected no means to obtain proselytes. But their promises and their threats produced little effect. In vain they offered bribes; in vain they expelled the English pastors under false pretexts, and tried to dazzle the sight and the imagination of the natives by the showy pomp of their worship; these snares disgusted the majority of the inhabitants. The priests had found a people who possessed and read the Bible. The Tahitians, for the most part, remained firmly attached to the doctrines which they had been taught; and when they were deprived of their spiritual leaders, they chose evangelists from among their own people to preside over their worship and to instruct their children. Such is their condition at the present time. Tahiti and the small neighboring islands contain a population of 14,000-or more souls. The number of communicants in the Protestant Church is about 2,300; a still larger number of Tahitians attend the Evangelical Church without making any public professions of faith. The congregations are under the charge of native pastors, who are not learned men, but who are full of zeal and devotion. There are, further, six Popish priests, liberally paid from the treasury of France; they say mass before the troops in the garrison and some of the inhabitants of Tahiti whom they have succeeded in proselyting. Liberty of conscience and of worship is secure to all. This article is in conformity with the Constitution of the State. Besides it would be impossible to pass acts of intolerance in this country. Rome knows that she must grant toothers the rights that she claims for herself. Protestantism is recognized as the national religion, that is to say, all the inhabitants' without exception, are taxed for the Protestant worship and Protestant schools. As to the political laws of Tahiti, they are worthy of notice and sympathy. Queen Pomare Vakine is at the head of the State. She is about fifty years old, with a good intellect, and possesses the esteem of her subjects. She is the constitutional sovereign of the country, and administers public affairs, in connection with the French Imperial Commissariat, or Commandant of the French Establishments in Oceanica. Besides, there is a Legislative Assembly, composed of 145 members. The deputies are appointed for three years. Every body of 100 inhabitants chooses a representative. The Legislative Assembly holds its sittings annually, and they usually continue for a month. It appoints its own President, Vice-President and four Secretaries. Two Committees, one for the examination of laws and petitions, the other on finances, assemble regularly. The debates are published. What a strange and wonderful sight to behold a people enjoying the privileges of a Parliamentary Government, who, scarcely a century ago, were plunged in all the horrors of Paganism, and offered human sacrifices to barbarous deities ! The Bible preached by missionaries, and accompanied by the Spirit of God, has effected the great change. 1 do not' pretend to say that all the Tahitians are good and moral men. Evil passions prevail there as elsewhere ; but it must be acknowledged that the civilization of this people has made almost fabulous progress. Some young men from Tahiti came to Paris in 1847. They were educated in our best colleges, under the direction of Rev. Grandpierre, and.on returning to their native land they earnestly engaged in instructing their fellow-countrymen. In the last session of the Legislative Assembly a pious Tahitian proposed to send a petition to Queen Pomare and to the French Imperial Commissariat, to ask permission to have two Protestant pastors from the mother country. I will quote some lines of this note, for it will serve to show the intelligence and piety of this people. " As it is very important," they say, that we should be instructed in the national" religion of the country, we petition our Emperor Napoleon 111. to select for us two French Protestant missionaries from among our brethren in France. We promise to advance to these missionaries, from the school fund, the sum of 5,000 francs, to build houses for them, &c. The enemies of our religion, who are also the enemies of the French protectorate, seek to injure us, because we do not wish to be ungrateful towards those who have drawn us from Popery; they grieve us by saying that we are not attached to France. We believe that these false charges will be refuted by the petition which we now ad- ... �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, dress to you. We have been delivered from our state of barbarism by Protestant ministers. Our religion is good; it inspires us with love towards France, which protects us. We are anxious that our children should learn the French language ; but we do not wish them to be tempted, by learning the language, to chan. c their religion." Some explanations are here necessary. The priests and other agents of Popery have invented, with base intention, the slanderous assertion that the profession of Protestantism is an act of hostiliiy against France, and that the Tahitians who persist in the evangelical faith are opposed to the French protectorate. The same priests have opened schools, with the plausible design of teaching the children the French language, but in bk reality to proselyte them to Romanism. The ■Christians of Tahiti have not been the dupes Bof these conspiracies. They accept implicitly the protection of France; they are rejoiced to have their children instructed in our national language; they only refuse to change their religion; this is certainly their right and their duty. I have under my eyes the debates of the Legislative Assembly of Tahiti upon this subject: they occupied ■ two days. The speakers were not eloquent; but they showed good sense, judgment and fidelity. Napoleon 111. and his counsellors will return a favorable answer, we hope, to the petition of the Tahitians, who agree to pay the two from their own purse. Religious rty must be a reality. G. dc F. 1 am, &c., Etors The Immense Armies of the Potomoc. There is little doubt, remarks the Cincinnati Enquirer, that the armies now in Washington and its vicinity amount to the immense aggregate of near 200,000 men on each side, or 400,000 combatants. Whenever a general battle shall occur, it will not only have no parallel on the Western Continent in the forces engaged, but hardly one in the history even of modern Europe will vie with it. The great battles of Napoleon were generally fought with, numbers far inferior to those now under the walls of Washburn. For instance, at Austerlitz, where Napoleon defeated the combined armies of Russia and Austria, he had but 80,000 troops; the allies had 100,000. At Jena and Auerstadt, where he broke the power of Prussia, his forces were not over 130,000 strong. At the great battle of Wagram, fought with the Austrians on the bank* of the Danube, in 1809, he had but 150,000 men. At Borodino, under the walls of Moscow, he had but 120,000 to oppose the Russians. At Waterloo he did not have to exceed 80,000 troops. Not one of the battles in Italy or Spain even equaled this last number. The only battle field we now recollect, where the combatants were as numerous as those around Washington, was Leipsic, in 1813, where Napoleon had 176,-000 men, and the allies—Russians, Austrians, Prussians, Swedes and Germans— numbered 200,000. Nearly half a million men took part in this tremendous battle, which was known as the Combat of the Giants. It lasted three days, and ended in the complete overthrow of Napoleon, who was driven into France, where a series of disasend until Napoleon abdicated his crown and was exiled to the Island of Elba, in 1814. No battle was ever fought on the soil of the United States where 60,000 combatants took part in it on both sides. From these figures we can judgeof what a battle we have reason to expect when the hosts of McClellan and Beauregard, more than twice the number of those of Napoleon and Wellington at Waterloo, come in collision on the banks of the Potomoc. It will be an event that will be the great military feature, probably, for ages to come, of martial prowess in America. Washington never had 30,000 men in one army under his command; Jackson never had 15,000, and Scott never before the present year had seen 20,000 men under his orders. Great is the ability required to manoeuvre and handle such a large body of men, and bring them all into action at the proper time and place. The late battle at Bull Run extended over seven miles from one end of our line to another. At Washington, probably, the battle may be raging over a field double this size. To know what is going on in such an amphitheatre, and to be prepared to order up reserves and strengthen every exposed point, requires the highest degree of intellect. At the battle of Bull Run half of both armies never fired a shot Beauregard had 40,000 men at Manassas Junction, only three miles distant, whom he never used, and yet he would have been defeated had it not been for the opportune and unexpected arrival of a portion of Gen. Johnston's army from the Upper Potomac. McDowell had a powerful reserve, that took no part whatever in the action, and yet it was strong enough to have beaten back Johnston's division if it had been on hand at the proper moment. We have confidence that McClellan has not only plenty of men, but believe he knows how to use them. ters commenced, that did not 91 184)1. ter the Ascension of our Lord, and was distributed to the believing Jews and Greeks in Palestine." The papyrus is much damaged, and tho fragments preserved are not very numerous, but they supply two lost verses, furnish a much purer text thanany other known version, and clear up many passages that have hitherto been doubtful and obscure. The manuscript is written in the Greek uncial character, and in all probability was the identical manuscript that was copied seven times by Hermodorus, during the life of the apostle, and likewise seven times after his death. The copy from which the English version of the Gospel is chiefly derived is the eleventh copy made by Hermodorus, preserved in one ofthe monasteries of the East, and in this several errors have been made in the transscription. The publication of this work is one of the greatest interest to the Christian world, and will probably excite more attention than any similar discovery during tho present century. The Men of the Sea.—It is estimated that there are more than 2,000,000 of men engaged in a sea-faring life; or one out of every 500 of the earth's population is thus enduring the hardships and perils of the sea to supply the remaining 499 with the comforts and luxuries of life, or in defending the rights and honor of the nation which he represents. In English vessels there are 300,000 men. There are 150,000 American seamen engaged in foreign commerce, and nearly the same number are found upon our inland waters. The whale fishery alone employs 20,000, and the navy 7000 to 8000. Nearly one-half of the whole number of seamen are open to the truth as it is conveyed in the English language. Of this large class of our fellow-men it may be truly said, their field is the world. Go where you will, you find the sailor.

Our readers will find an interesting letter in our columns, by the French correspondent (G. do F.) of the New York Observer. "Do not fail to subscribe for the Friend,"were thelast words ofa shipmaster's wife to him before sailing upon a three years voyage in the Pacific. A shipmasterrecently repeated the remark, as he called at our office a few days ago. Are there not many more ladies in the United States who would be j;lad to have theirhusbands, or brothers, or sons, subscribe for our monthly sheet ? . Some unknown person has laid upon our table the Eighth Annual Report of the " Young Men's Christian Association of San Francisco." We have read the document with much interest, and rejoice to learn that an association of this description has been in active existenco in that city for eight years past. This Report is accompanied by an interesting Anniversary address by the Rev. W. C. Anderson, D. D., of that city. The address contains the following paragraphs, upon the present war in the United States : War exists. Our peace-loving, happy, prosperous country has dropped the plowshare and has seized the sword. Her commerce is languishing in her harbors; the sound of the loom and the nnvil waxes fainter ; the note of the herdsman scarce is audible ; and in their room we have the " confused noise of the battle of the warrior," and see the garments of our sons and brothers rolled in blood.

For the same reason they demanded the annexation of Texas, and it was done at the cost of many millions more. They demanded that the ordinance of 1787 should be set aside, and that the soil which it had solemnly consecrated to freedom forever should be occupied by Missouri as n slave State, and it was done. As some atonement for this almost sacrilege, a new line was drawn between free and slave territory, known as the "Missouri Compromise" line; a few years only had passed beloro they demanded that this compromise should be annulled, and it was done. In a word, the South had but to ask, and the boon, however unreasonable, was granted. It was only when it demanded the concession of the fundamental principle upon which the nation cxi«ts,—namely, that the majority must rule, —that it said no ! And even then it was a reluctant no; for days and weeks it meekly suffered the despoiling of its goods, the invasion of its territory, and treated its rebellious subjects with the forbearance which an over-fond father extends to a spoiledchild ; and it was only when its flag wns trampled under foot, its commissioned servants driven from their posts of duty by shot and shell, and a determination avowed to take the National Capital, that it resisted. I repeat, never was there a Government so kind, so conciliatory, so forbeariug, as has been that of the United States to all citizens, and especially to those who have rebelled against it; and I again declare that by no act of its own has it given cause, or even plausible occasion, for this rebellion. 3. The end proposed to be accomplished by this war is sui generis, literally so; an end such as was never before proposed by any people whatsoever rising up in arms. Tho civil wars of our fatherland had for their avowed end the liberty of the people; such was the wur of the Commonwealth in Cromwell's day; such was the almost bloodless revolution of 1668; liberty was the object of our own revolution; such was the proposed end of all the French revolutions. The people of Continental Europe arose in 1848 to obtain freedom ; so did the brave Hungarians in 1849. The recent successful uprising in Italy was to obtain deliverance from despots, and a distinct nationality. There is something holy in wars like these. Even the groans of the dying are softened and hallowed, yea, the memories of the dead are sainted by the glorious godlike cause. But what is the object of this war of 1861 ? This war in tho heart of free, liberly-loving, Christian America ? What is its avowed end and object ? It is to destroy that constitutional liberty which Washington and the fathers have bequeathed to us. It is to.blot from the page of world history the heart-cherished truth "that all men are created equal, and have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It is a war based on the abominable assumption that the great theory of self-government is a failure ; and hence the purpose to found on the ruins of our glorious republic an empire whose "corner stone," to use their own words, is •' human slavery." It is a war against free labor and in behalf of slave labor. In a word, it is a war whose end and aim is to forge beyond the power of �93 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1861. breaking, and to rivet forever, the chains of human bondage. Whether, then, we regard it in its origin, its progress, or its aims, we arc forced to pronounce it an unprovoked, unkind, ungodsy war. But this unholy war is now fairly inaugurated, and has received a baptism in the blood of hundreds of the noblest patriots of the land. Its termination by compromise is impossible. The South desires no compromise ; never proposed to receive any. It claims the absolute, unconditional concession of all its demands; and they arc enormous. The Government must surrender all harbors; all the forts; yea, all the territory south of Mason and Dixon's line; it must recognize the Confederate States as an independent nation ; it must permit u monarchy, or an iron military oligarchy, to be planted on that soil of freedom which was bought by the blood of the Revolution. On the part of the United States it is a war for existence ; nothing more; nothing less. Make peace on the ultimatum of the South and the great Republic ceases to have an existence. Under these circumstances the cry of " noncoercion," "peace," is simply the traitor's cry. It is the weapon he uses to defend his friends in places where he cannot use the sword. Such is the present condition of our national affairs. The crisis which is upon us is a fearful one, and may not be shunned even if we desire to do it. As lovers of freedom and of our country, the only course left to us is to adjust ourselves to this new and sad condition of things. mischief und destruction. A military despotism will be inaugurated whenever you permit this rebellion to triumph. « But some cry we are in favor of peace. Yes, we are all for peace now. I was for negotiating a peaco until a fortification was fired upon by a rebel artillery, and then I bade adieu to all expectations of peace until conquered owrrebellions. (Cheers.) I say there is no peace until you can put down rebellion by force of arms. We must stand by the Union. You may make peace with the loyal men of the South, and there is the place to make it. But how will you do it with rebellion? Go with an agreement in one hand and a revolver in the other, and ask the Confederacy to take its choice ? If there is any you can deal with it is the loyal citizens of the South—those that are persecuted for the sake of their Government, those that love their Constitution and are willing to die in its defense—when they are restored to position by conquering rebellion. All should strive together for this good end—men should bare their bosoms in battle, women implore in the name of Heaven that the blessings of the Union should return, and children raise their little hands to curse this rebellion as a ferocious monster that has come hither to torment them before their time, and dim with blood and tears the lustre of their bright star.'j three persons beside our four selves and instruments, all upon the stump of a tree at the same time!

W. C. Eliot, St. Louts. — Who is Jeff. Davis President of Southern Confederacy the Jefferson Davis was born in Kentucky in ISOS, and in infancy was removed with his family to Mississippi. He received a military education at West Point, where he was graduated in 1828, and was appointed brevet second lieutenant. During the seven years that he remained in the army, he served with credit in several Indian wars, but resigned his commissipn in 1835 and turned cotton planter. His first appearance in politics was in the Polk presidential campaign. The next year ho was elected to Congress, but he resigned in 1846 to command a regiment in the Mexican war, where he served with distinction. After his return he was elected to the Senate, and, in the stormy debates which preceded the compromise of 1850, he distinguished himself as the most uncompromising champion of extreme southern claims. He was a forcible debater of a highly intellectual cast of mind, with a subtle pride which perverted his whole moral nature. He was President Pierces Secretary of War, and, despite the superior abilities of Marcy, was the leading spirit of that cabinet. His unscrupulous and domineering nature gave him complete ascendancy over a mediocre man like Pierce and a man of supple principles like Cushing; and Marcy, though he did not approve, was powerless to resist the bold pro-slavery machinations in that really able cabinet. It was then that Jeff. Davis sowed the dragon's teeth from which hosts of armed men nave sprung up. The Kansas imbroglio, which was fomented by that cabinet, was the entering wedge which has cleft the Union. Douglas's repeal of the Missouri Compromise would have worked little practical mischief, had it not been for Jeff. Davis's successful plot in the cabinet to abet the attempts to thrust slavery into Kansas in spite of the will of its inhabitants.—The World.

As we glance our eye backward, we see that many have fallen on our right hand and on our left. Some have been removed by accident, others by their own guilty excesses, and others by the natural course of Divine Providence. With a cheerful heart and hopeful spirit, we look forward to the future. The thoughts of our heart and breathings of our spirit towards our readers and fellow pilgrims upon life's journey are fully expressed in the following lines, copied from a late New York Observer : COURAGE, BROTHER. Courage, brother, do not stumble, Though thy path be dark as night; There's the star to guide the humble : Trust in God, and do the right. Let theroad be long and dreary, And its ending out of sight,— Foot it bravely, strong or weary, Trust in God, and do the right. Trust no forms or guilty passion,— Fiends can look like angels bright; Trust no custom, school, or fashion, Trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate thee, some will love thee, Some will flatter, some will slight. Turn from man, and look above thee: •Trust in God, and do the right. Simple rule, and safest guiding,— Inward peace, and inward light,— Star upon our path abiding,— Trust in God and do the right. — spoken of as among the things that were, and 1862 opens with the " Hoku Loa," or "Morning Star," a Protestant Religious Monthly, and a similar monthly issued from the Catholic Mission. Besides these, two rather ambitious weeklies are in the field, viz : * Ka Hoku oka Pakipika," or " Star of the Pacific," and "Ka Nupepa Kuokoa," or The Independent." The former is is" trom the " Polynesian," office, and the sued latter is published by Mr. H. M. Whitney, who seems determined that the Hawaiians shall have a weekly every way worthy of being called a " Newspaper." The number for January Ist, is printed upon excellent paper, and executed in a style to reflect the highest credit upon the employees of the Advertiser Office." We sincerely con"gratulate the Hawaiians upon the rare treat which this paper will afford them each week during the ensuing year. Fast Riding and Fast Driving.—The time has come, when the severest penalties of the law should bo visited upon the Jehus who dash through our narrow and frequented streets, utterly regardless of the lives of the people. Almost daily some child or woman is run over. In the shipping season, if a reckless sailor, by dint of spurs and whip, urges his horse into a gallop, he is hurried off to the Police Station House, while some of our citizens drive at a most furious rate through our streets, and the police stand off at a most respectful distance, or are out of sight.

The Government of the United States makes no provision for the relief and support of its citizens when sick and distressed, unless they are attached to some American vessel, or can exhibit an. honorable discharge. Seamen are, in this respect, a highly favored and highly privileged class of American citizens. Not only does the flng protect and relieve those sailing under it, if they are free born, or naturalized citizens, but if they have merely enlisted on board an American vessel, in a foreign land, although they may never have stepped upon American soil, unless the deck of an American vessel, may be regarded as American soil. This is right; this is as it should be; otherwise great injustice would be done to seamen of foreign countries, who/ire engaged in the mercantile marine and whaling service of the United States. For example, suppose a whaleship takes a Feejeean, or Chinaman, or Tahitisn, or Chilean, from his home—-the not that man sickens or is at Hospital U. S. man be taken into the Honolulu, if the ship visits this port ? Any other interpretation of our laws would be contrary to their spirit and in violation of the paternal policy of the D. S. Government towards those sailing under its flag. We desire to call the attention of our seafaring readers to the foregoing facts. They are taken care of and provided for, while Americans who are not sailors are allowed to shirk for themselves. We have met many of our fellow citizens, who have felt their lot was rather hard that they could not receive relief and protection from the U. S. Consul �THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1862. 2 while seamen were thus favored. Such, however, are our laws. In return for this protection and guardianship, seamen on board vessels of war, merchant shipsand coasting vessels, pay into the Treasury of the United States twenty cents per month. The only tax upon whalemen is the sum of $36, or three months extrawages, to be paid by the ship when the seaman is discharged before his term of service expires. Unless the seamun goes to the Hospital, two-thirds of the three months' wages, or $324, are refunded to him, (and not to the ship,) if he re-ships for a home-port. In our columns will be found the names of a large number of persons, who have forfeited the " $24," because they did not return to the United States. We were furnished this list by Col. Parker, the late U. S. Consul. If this money should never be called for, it should, of course, fall into the Treasury of the United Slates. The following item from a late Washington paper, shows that one U. S. Consul has turned robber, and thief: Mr. Parsons, the successor to Consul Scott at Rio Janeiro, writes that be found the consulate robbed of everything of value. Scott hod even robbed the sailors' relief fund." " There have been rumors of similar transactions, connected with the Honolulu consulate, but we hope a new order of proceedings has been initiated. The Government of the United States is exceedingly liberal in its provisions for the relief of seamen, it is then highly culpable in any officer who perverts its legitimate funds. It is made the solemn duty of U. S. Consuls and Consular Agents to .look after American seamen. We quote the following, from A Manual for Consuls," " published under the authority of the U. S. Government: " One essential object of the Consular appointment is .the protection of American Mariners—s class of our fellow citizens whose habits of life require a kind guardianship of their persons and interests in foreign countries, but at the same time a striot vigilance over their conduct. The law makes it the duty of American Consular oflioera to provide, at the public expense, for all mariners and seamen of the United States merchant marine, who may be found destitute within their respective districts. It is no bar to their relief that they have been left abandoned by the wreck of their vessel, or otherwise, on a foreign shore. They are still ' Mariners and Seamen of the United States,' and the circumstances of their destitution, entitles them to air the benefits and protection provided by the fourth section of the act of February 28, 1808. They are within toe words of the act, and they are within all the reasons of humanity and policy whioh actuated its provisions." These instructions exhibit the policy of the government towards seamen sailing under *' the Stars and Stripes." It is highly gratifying .that when the government calls for seamen to lend their aid for the support and maintenance of the government, they are prompt and patriotic, ready apd willing. More than 1900. whalemen have shipped from New fled ford,and,are now in the blockaiding fleet off the Southern coast. Scores of officers turned traitors but common sen* men, to a man, stood by the United States flag on board vessels of the Navy. When one noble fellow was ordered to haul down the flag by Commodore Armstrong, at the Pensacola Navy Yard, he refused, saying that he would tw.il it up, but never haul it down. If the flag protects the sailor, it is cheering to know that the sailor is ready to stand up and protect the flag, when rebels would haul it down, and traitors would trample it in the dust. April Ist, 1862. By provisions of the act an annual tax is laid on incomes derived from all sources other than that subject to direct tax, as follows: On yearly incomes of residents of over eight hundred dollars 8 per cent. On yearly incomes of non-residents of over eight hundred dollars 6 per cent. Tax on Carriages.—The tax on carriages resting on springs and not used exclusively for the transportation of merchandise, together with harness used therewith, is in proportion with value, as follows : Not exceeding $60 Rendezvous for Whalers.—The Mercantile Ga- If above 9 60 and not exceeding $ 100 M «' 8 200 $ 100 zette baa reliable information that the fleet of whalers in the northern seas—forty-six sail—will make this •' 9 200 9 400 «• 9 400 $ 600 port their rendezvous the coming season.—S.

In doing so, the city authorities should bear in mind that they nre in duty bound to make suitable provision for sick and disabled seamen, discharged from whaleships. As the matter stands, at present, a sick whaleman is turned into the streets, if he is discharged in San Francisco, or sent to the poor house. Only a few days since, a whaleman was discharged sick at San Francisco. He applied to the Marine Hospital, but was told he could not be admitted, because whalemen did not pay the 20 cents a month, the same as coasters and merchant seamen in the foreign trade. He was advised to come to Honolulu, but on his arrival here, the hospital in Honolulu was closed to him, because he came as a citizen passenger, and not as a sailor ! This was right, for as we have elsewhere shown, U. S. Hospitals in foreign lands, are provided and retained for seamen, not for citizens of United States in general. a paper published in New " ThehasCentury," York, the following very just remarks in regard to " 81000. . $ 1 34 88 810 820 880 840 860 £ Tax on Watches.—The tax on every watch kept for use is as follows : $1 00 60 Gold watches Silver watohee Tax on Distilled Spirits.—A tax is also laid on distilled spirits, to be paid by the manufacturer or distiller thereof: On each gallon first proof, or leas, 60 cents. On each gallon of greater strength than first proof, in proportion to the above. Tax on Fermented Liquors.—Beer, ale, porter, and other similar fermented liquors, the duty to be paid by the brewer thereof, is taxed as follows : in eaoh gallon 2 cents. ~ >n each barrel, containing no more than thirty gallons 60 cents. King George III, when walking out one morning, met a lad at the stable door, and asked him, " Well, boy, what do you do ? what do they pay you?" " I help in the stable," replied the lad; but I have nothing except victuals and clothes." "Be content," replied the king, I have no more." All that the richest possess beyond food, raiment, and habitation, they have but the keeping, for the disposing, not the present enjoyment of, A ploughboy who thinks and feels correctly, has enough to make him contented ; nnd if a king have a discontented spirit, he find some plea for indulging it.

Hospital Mohky.—Every seaman, of what- Will In his majesty's prayer-book, at that part, ever grade or capacity, in the commercial marine of the United States, pays into its treasury, as his trustee, the sum of twenty cents per month for hospital money," and the Federal Government disburses this ever-accruing " trust-fund" in providing hospitals, medicines, medical stores and physicians for the treatment and cure of sick and disabled seamen—bat it is the money of the sailor which foots the bill in every instance. The hardy sailor, while combatting the storms and pestilence of every sea on the globe, is ever contributing to this fund—this self-providing hospital fund, of which the Government is but the custodian, and the President the dispenser. " War Tax. The people of the United States will no longer be able to boast of their freedom from taxes for the support of the General Government. Hitherto the revenue from the tariff and sale of lands, has paid all the expenses ofthe Government. Sometimes there has been a surplus in the Treasury. Those days arc gone, as many be learned from the following statement: The Income Tax.—We subjoin a copy of the income taxes and duties imposed by the last Congress. The act comes into effect on " where the worshippers implore the Almighty bless and preserve Thy servant George, our most gracious king"and governor," these words appear to have been struck out, and the three following written with his own hand, "An untoorthy sinner." Emigration to the Pacific.—The civil war is giving a most remarkable and unexpected stimulus to the overland emigration to California and Oregon. The plains are swarming with caravans of emigrants from Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky, all destined for the Pacific coast. Should the war last for a couple of years it would doubtless lead to very important transfers of population. The actual seat of war, as well as all the border states likely to be affected by the conflict, would suffer severely in the emigration ofits quiet and industrious families, who would remove to more peaceful settlements in the West and North. The Pacific coast will undoubtedly gain largely, as its industry is not affected, and it offers better inducements to the thrifty and enterprising than any other section of the country. to �LIST OF SEAMEN Discharged at this Consulate previous to January 1,1860, .1 MAHXS Or ■""""• SUMS! ~ I' , .

Ocean Currents.—A. W. Caldwell, Esq., U. S. Consul at this port, bonded us a letter from Dr. K. W. Wood, of Kauai, which contains the following interesting memorandum: Ship White Swallow, Copt. Kltery, bound from Ban Fran- " cisco to Hongkong. This bottle was thrown overboard on the 21st July, 1801,In Utltude 21 ° 30 North, Longitude ISI 66 West, by passenger Chas. n. Rocxwsll. of New York." "Whoever may find this bottle, will please send thispaper to the Nary Bureau at Washington, D. C. with a memorandum stating when and where tt was picked up. Or will give It to some Captain or Consul, who will forwardIt as above directed, in order to discover the driftof the ocean currents." Dr. Wood states that it was picked up on the ° " island of Niihau about the 23d August, ana adds the following: Lat. of Niihau is 21 60 North. 160° 16 West. Long. Making a drift nearly due west of 460 miles in about 88 days. Ily relerring to our memoranda, we And that the W. S. arrived on the 23d July, and the bottle was thrown overboard two days before her arrival. If the memorandum isoorreot, and the bottle actually drifted 460 miles in 88 days, it shows the existence of a very powerful current about the islands —about 14 miles per diem.—Adv. " " ° Severe Earthquake.—A heavy earthquake oc. ourred on Thursday Deo. 6, at 11 minutes before 12 M. | Two distinct shocks were felt, and so severe were they, that every body experienced them, whether walking, standing or silting. In several instances it threw persons quite from their balance ; and more probably experienced sensations of astonishment or fright Nearly every house was shaken. In some coses so strongly as to cause the inmates to leave the building. At Punahou College, the plaster of the oeiling was shaken down, and tbe pupils ran out of doors. The same scene, so far as the stampede was concerned, occurred at the courthouse, where a suit was in progress in Chambers. The quake was accompanied by a noise resembling that of a dray driven over the roof, or tbe rolling of casks over bead. The shock was felt at Lahaina, and was so severe, that ink was spilled out of an inkstand on a table. We cannot learn that it was noticed at Ifilo or any where on Hawaii. —It is very seldom that earthquakes have been felt on this island, though they are of frequent occurrence on Hawaii. The cause is probably that Onhu is more remote from the seat of activity of Twice, however, the voloanio fires beneath as. during the last twenty years, this island has been visited by tidal waves, which are probably attributable to volcanic disturbance.—Adv. Another Earthquake.—On Sunday evening Deo. 22, at about 21 minutes past seven o'clock, another severe shock was felt all over this island (Oahu.) It consisted of ten or twelve very regular vibrations from East to West, and "was felt equally plain by those sitting or walking. It was aooompanied by a noise more distant than that which accompanied the shook of tbe 6th. Some persons felt an eleetrio sensation in the knees. In tbe harbor the effect of tbe quake was most noticeable. Some persons standing at the harbor-master's office, observed the fishes suddenly flying on the surface toward Ike tea. While the water disturbed by the fish, appearod like a sheet of Tbe schoonors lying by the wharves phosphorus. were also set to rocking. These earthquakes are something new to Honolulu, and the query suggested by our Maui correspondent below is not inappropriate—" Are we going under? "—Adv.

This war is assuming an auspicious shape. It was not to hare been reasonably expected that the people of the loyal States, most of whom were unaccustomed to the use of arms, and who were taken by surprise, could on the instant rise and crush out a rebellion which had long been premeditated and carefully prepared by men who, l»)wjM| criminal, had, it must be confess* ed, expernßand ability. Jeff. Davis and his associates in* treason had, through a serious of years, occupied high positions under the Government and held actual control of public affairs. During all that time their power and influence were wielded to prepare the Southern States for therebellion. The people of the South were encouragod to exercise themselves in military discipline, and arms and munitions of war were furnished them in abundance from the nationul arsenals. Thus when the time arrived for the hoisting of the standard of revolution, Davis, Beauregard and the other leaders of the revolt found themselves at the head of armies already disciplined and furnished with every necessary of war. We say, the loyal States were taken by surprise; they had so long listened to thegasconade of politicians that they regarded the threats of the Secessionists with incredulous ears; and it was.only when they heard the thunderof the guns from Fort Sumpter they realised the actual situation of the country. The spectacle which followed was grand to an extreme, and every way worthy a great and free people. The merchant left his ledger, the farmer his plough, the mechanic bis tools, the lawyer his briefs, and even the minister his pulpit, to commence an education in a new profession—to learn the art of war. It is no exaggeration to say that fivesixths of the volunteers scarcely knew the difference between a minierifle and a flint lock musket, so far as such knowledge might be useful on the field. But, brought up in habits of industry, trained to adapt themselves to contingent circumstances, and gifted with quick intellectual powers of discernment which men accustomed to business pursuits only can acquire, the people of the great North, East and West proved themselves equal to the emergoncy. They were as rapid to learn the duties of a soldier, as they had been slow to believe in the existence of a rebellion. Still, after they acquired the theory, they had still to confront the enemy and acquire the It was natural, practice of theirnew profession. under the circumstances, that a few blunders should occur, and we had the Bull Run, Springfield, Lexington and other disasters to lament. But again the people of the loyal States triumphed, and there is now at the disposition of the government as vigorously disciplined and well appointed an army as has been assembled any time within the century. Every day its strength and efficiency are being increased. Unworthy and incompetent officers are driven from command and soldiers of experience commissioned in theirstood. Three months ago, it wits the boast of the rebels that their forces had been trained from boyhood up to the use of arms, and that it was folly to suppose that tradesmen and "greasy mechanics" could successfully meet them in hattie ; but we imagine they at length are beginning to discover the great truth that labor elevates and strengthens manhood. As we before said, the war is assuming an auspicious shape. The rebels have exhuustod thoir resources ; thoy can bring no more soldiers Into the field. On the other hand, the U. S. Government has not developed a tithe of its strength, and yet our armies largely outnumber those of the enemy. And while we hear of dissensions among the leaders at the South, the feeling of cordiality between President Lincoln and our Generals grows stronger every hour. In short, the loyal States have risen superior to all adverse ciroumstances, and are gaining strength every hour, while the rebel government is in the last extremity for men and means to save it from per dition.—S.

Selected. 1 — From the Sailors' Magazine. I A Night Among the Icebergs. morning of Sunday, April 18th, IS4I, Walkin the deck, before breakfast, I fancied I detected the chill of ice in the atmosphere. The captain, who met me there, smiled at the apprehension. Our noble steamer, the, Greaf Western, vigorously pursued her course, and the deep sea slightly agitated, and strongly colored, was intensely beautiful. We had divine worship in the saloon, and the dead lights which had been in for a week were removed. The officers, passengers, and all the sailors who could be spared, came in their clean bright costume, to hear an impressive sermon from the Rev. Dr. Wayland, President of Brown University, on the text " Now, we see through a glass darkly, but then, face to face." After the interesting service, and a cheerful supper, we came on deck, to enjoy a glorious sunset. While we were gazing with delight, a huge, black mass loomed up, just in the track of molten gold left by the departing orb. Turning to me, the captain said, "I fear you were but too true a prophet. There is an enormous iceberg." It presented an irregular outline, towering up into crags and pinnacles, and resembling the hulks of several men-of-war lashed together. The captain, after viewing it with his glass, pronounced it three-quarters of a mile in length, and its more prominent points more than one hundred feet high; therefore its entire altinot be less than four hundred feetfas only one-third of one of these arctic mountains rises above the surface. Three le serene, but cold for the season. n ■ n ir n ■ a JJANUARY, 1862. A others of smaller dimensions slowly appeared in its wake, like a fleet following their admiral, and in their fearful companionship we prepared to pass the night. We were then in North Latitude 43 ° , and in Longitude 48° 90. We literally shivered with cold from the approach of this embassy from the frigid zone; the thermometer suddenly sank below the.freezing point, leaving the temperature of the atmosphere 28 °, and that of the water 25 ° On this appalling scene, the stars looked down with their calm, pure eyes. But all at once, a magnificent aurora borealis burst forth, and went streaming up the concave. While over our heads flashed and dazzled this arch of scintillating flame, the phosphorescence of our watery path became intensely brilliant. We seemed to be at the same time in a realm of fire and of frost, our fleshly natures surrounded with contradictions, the elements themselves bewildered and conflicting. And there were these terrible arctic kings dashing and drifting around us in mighty majesty, while we, like the tribes in .the desert, pursued our way between the pillar of cloud and the pillar of flame. At nine o'clock, from the watch stationed at the different posts of observation, burst out cries of Ice ahead !"—" Ice larboard!" " —" Ice leeward !" and we found ourselves environed with field-ice. To turn was impossible. By the bending paddles a path was laboriously cut, through which we were propelled stern foremost, not without peril, changing our course due south, in the teeth of a driving blast. When once more in an open sea, the captain, not concealing our danger, advised us to retire. This we did soon after midnight, if not to sleep, yet to seek that rest which might help to gird us for future trials. At three, we were aroused by harsh grating, and, occasionally, thumping, causing the strongest timbers of the ship to tremble. This was from floating masses of ice, by which after having skirted a region of fieldice, fifty miles in extent, we were suvounded. Some of these were comparatively small, others of more formidable size. Our commander, who had not left his post of vigilance during the night, reported more than three hundred visible to the naked eye. Their general aspect was vitreous, or of a silvery whiteness, except when a sunbeam penetrated the mist; then they radiated with every hue in the rainbow, striking out into turrets, and columns, minarets and arches, like solid pearl or diamond, till we were transfixed with wonder at the terrible beauty of the architecture of the northern deep. Our path lay through frowning hosts, and amid ambushes, yet by the Divine blessing and nautical skill, we were eventually delivered from our paralyzing and pitiless foes. The engine of the Great Western, like a living, intelligent thing, had done the bidding of its chief. " Half a stroke," and its tumultuousaction was controlled. " A quarter of a stroke," and its breath seemed suspended. "Stand stills' and our vast hulk lay motionless on the writers, till two or three of tbe frozen squadron had drifted by. Let " her go," and with the velocity of lightning we darted by another detachment of tbe enemy. Had we been less skilfully steered, or subject to the domination of winds instead . of steam, beleagured as we were in that rough sea, we must inevitably have been dashed in pieces. Before noontide of April 19th (the anniversary of the battle of Lexington,) it pleased God to deliver us from our great danger Afterwards, when the slightest sail appearet commando upon the horizon, our caused two guns to be fired speak attcn tion; and then by flags and signals warnec them to avoid the perilous region from whence we had been set free. Two tiny barks came struggling through the surge, to hold more intimate converse with the mighty steamship, herself not unscathed from the recent conflict, yet willingly dispensing her dearbought wisdom. There was a degree of sublimity in this proffered counsel and gift of sympathy between the strong experienced voyager, and the more fragile travelers of ocean's trackless waste. It seemedlike some white haired Mentor, way-worn on time's pilgrimage, teaching the newly-girded " not to be high-minded—but fear." Drawing near the " haven where we would be," we felt how warmly this companionship in danger had endeared us to each other. The courtesies of friendly intercourse had prepared the heart; and gathered, as the passengers were, from different states and climes, that fraternal feeling deepened, when we approached the land, which was born when we stood together on the verge of eternity. Hereafter, when we recall each others' images, will return the memories of that terrific scene, which we now account it a privilege to have witnessed, and the thrill of unspeakable gratitude to an Almighty Preserver. He led us on our way,— He, through that path of horror was our guide, Sparing us breath to tell oar friends at home A tale of those destroyers, wbo so oft With one strong buffet of their frosty hands Have plung'd the loftiest ship beneath the surge, Nor left a voice to syllable her fate. Oh Thou who sprcad'st us not on Ocean's floor A sleeping bed unconsecrate with prayer. But brought us to our blessed homes again, And to the burial-places of our sires, Praise to Thine holy name ! L. H. SiaoinuiiY. Hartford, Conn., September 10th. 1861. Old Woman and the Sailor.—A worthy old woman was one day walking along the street with a bowl in her hand. A jovial sailor, rendered mischievous by liquor, came bearing down, and when opposite theold woman, saucily pushed her aside, and with a pass knocked the bowl out of her hand. He then halted to hear her fret and to enjoy a laugh at her expense. But what was his astonishment when she meekly picked up the pieces of her broken bowl, without the least resentment in her manner; then, giving him a dignified look of mingled sorrow, kindness, and pity, said : "God forgive you, my son, as I do." It touched a tender cord in the heart of the rude tar. He felt ashamed, condemned and repentant. The tear started in his eye; he must make reparation. He heartily confessed his error, and thrusting both his hands into his full pockets of change, he forced all their contents upon her, exclaiming: " God bless you, kind mother, I'll never do so again." �JLD-rERTISEIWEWTS.

FEBRUARY 1, 1862. Late News from America. A few months ago, the true American, abroad in a foreign land, felt no pleasure in hearing from home. The citadel of Liberty had been attacked. Traitors were among the officers of the President's Cabinet. Spies gloried in their infamous trade. The Army, small and scattered, was demoralized. The Navy could not be trusted. It really seemed as if I-cha-bod—the glory is departed—was to be written beneath every inscription to which " U. S." was attached. Then came the astounding news of the defeat at Bull's Run, where, it appears, both Secesh and Yankee ran, but the Yankee outran his southern opponent, and carried off the palm of a defeat. The tables have turned. The American abroad now holds up his head. He has a country. He is not ashamed to acknowledge himself American. The late mails brought intelligence that cheers and animates the patriot's heart. The President's message is hopeful and sound. The Cabinet is united. Congress is alive. Senators and Representatives speak like men who had a work to do, and would do it. The Army and Navy are .strong, and growing stronger. The Hatteras affair is eclipsed by the Beaufort victory, still more brilliant and glorious. The capture of Mason and Slidell capped the climax, and makes a good theme for newspaper talk. It was to be expected that the government and people of England would remonstrate loudly, if they did nothing more ; but, after all, there is net an Englishman, at home or abroad, who will " " 9 | Aft Series, M. )fl- Remarks and Opinions Respecting the Sandwich Islands.

J. Jarves, Esq., in historian of the Sandwich Islands, and of Mrs. Bichards, relict of the Bev. W. Richards. Among the departed recorded in this number of the Friend will bo found a notice of the death of Mrs. Hunt, wife of the Bev. T. D. Hunt, of Watemlle, N. Y. These were three ladies who once lived and moved in the society of the Sandwich Islands, and their influence was felt, f bey were highly educated and refined. Though long years have passed since they left our shores, yet all the foreign residents of the islands, previous to '49, will remember them, and only with fond recollection of their genuine worth. To the credit of the Hawaiian Government, it has paid an annuity to Mrs. Bichards of $800 per annum ever since the death of her husband, in 1847. It was the lot of Mrs. Hunt to have passed through a variety of experience in her journey to tb« grave. We remember her as a companion of her husband at Kau, on Hawaii, Lahainaluna, Maui, and in Honolulu. We met her again in California in '49 and '50, and wo subsequently have heard of her in the States. She was one of the "excellent women" whose record is on high, and whose memory is precious to her friends. The Sandwich Island*. Owhyee rises majestically, in grand unbroken lines, from the waves, and forms, in an enormous mass, three different mountainsummits, on two of which the snow lies several months in the year. We both times visited the Sandwich Islands in tbe autumn, and never saw any snow on the heights of Owhyee. (In November, 1816, and in September, 1817.) Mouna Roa, the great mountain, La Men, (the Table of the Spaniards,*) rises in a bold curve southwards, in the interior of the island, and towers above the others, which unite with it. Mouna Kaah, the little mountain, the • Qwhyeeand the SandwichIslands, U Meae. or La Mini, ami Loa Hongea, ofthe old Spanish charts, (San Francisco, of Anson's chart; might perhaps likewise be Owhyee,) most hare bean frequently seen by the galleons on the forage from Acapulco to Manilla. It is to beobserved that M. Mariahas .ot beenable to disoorer, in the popular traditionsof Owhyee, an; reminiscence of a former Intercourse with JCuropeani. �10 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 18* Z- next to the Mouna Ron, with its ragged cliffs, pean is occupied the north. The third, Mouna Wororay, a volcanic peak, lies on the western coast. There is a drawing of the crater in Vancouver's atlas. On its naked declivities shin* streams of lava, the last of which it poured into the sea by a lateral eruption in the J*ar 1801. The" village of Powarua is built on the shore upon this scorious lava. The Mouna Puoray, which forms the northwest point of the island, joins, as an inferior hill, to the basis of Mouna Kaah. The heigiwf of Owhyee generally appear quite distinct during the night, and in the morning; the vapour falls on them at noon : the clouds which they produce repose in the evening in dense masses over the island, and dissolve towards midnight. Where we approached Owhyee, doubling the north-west point, and sailing along the west coast to the southern foot of Wororay, near Titatua, the declivities appear bare and sun-burnt. Some parts are used for tillage, the most are covered with scanty grass. Amidst clouds, the region of the forests begins, and the eye scarcely reaches the naked crowns of this gigantic mountain. The strand presents to the view an uninterrupted row of settlements, which as you approach further to the south, arc surrounded with more luxuriant verdure, and more frequently relieved by cocoa-palms. Of the volcanic chain of mountains of the Sandwich islands, only Wororay on Owhyee seems still active. Hot springs are in the territory of Kochala, near the habitation of Mr. Young, on the coast south of Puoray. The chain runs from the north-west point of Owhyee over the islands ofMowee, Morotoi, and Woahoo, to west north-west. The most eastern mountain on Mowee is but little inferior in height to Wororay, and is similar in the grandeur of its form. The more western is lower, and its summit appears to be rent in two different clefts from north to south. The grand lines of the mountain descend on Morotoi still lower, even to the flat western point of this island. The mountain rises again in Woahoo, where, with an entirely different form, it scarcely reaches a quarter of the height of Owhyee. Two dissimilar groups of mountains rise in the island of Woahoo. The eastern and lower one has a greater extent than the western, which contains the higher summits. The chain, deeply indented by well-watered and beautifully verdant vallies, shoots up ragged summits in broken lines. The woods descend lower than in Owhyee, upon their declivities, to the sun-burnt plains, which mostly surround these islands, and were once coral reefs covered by the sea; and such reefs extend far into the sea from these plains. A break in the twef, at the month of a stream produced water collected in the mountains, forms, n the southern foot ofthe eastern mass of tountains, the secure harbour of Hana-rura. ■om which place we made our excursions in ifferent directions through both parts of the inland. The nearest low hill behind Hana-rura is an old volcanic crater, now closed, and which, like the external declivity, is thickly overgrown with grass. A similar, but higher and larger crater, which forms a promontory, washed by the sea, bounds the prospect to the east. Pretended diamonds, which an Euro- (y . SBBI m said to have found in these parts, gave occasion to the taboo, which has been imposed upon this mountain. We were shown as such common quartz crystals. The mountain-chain rises behind these naked front hills, covered with a lovely verdure in irregular steps to its highest ridge, which runs along the northern coast. Valleys and defiles lead to the passes which intersect each other between the summits. The valley of Nuuanu, behind Hana-rura, is the most extensive and pleasant of all. Beyond, towards the north or north-east, the mountain presents a steep declivity, which cannot be ascended, except barefooted, by giddy paths and rocky ascents. Low hills, covered with sun-burnt savannahs. unite the two mountain masses of the islands. To the south of these hills, the inlet of the sea, called by the English the Pearl .River, winds with numerous branches up to their foot, through an extensive plain, which is a coral reef abandoned by the sea, the surface of which is raised about ten feet above the level of the ocean. This frith appears to afford the finest harbour; it is, however, said that a bank obstructs the entrance of ships. It receives streams only from the eastern mountains. The ridge of the western higher mountains is turned to the interior of the island, and pours its waters into the valleys, which it embraces in the west, with several arms. The passes between the summits are high and steep, and only to be ascended by dangerous paths. The luxuriance of the vegetation, which, at the height of about three hundred toises, to which we ascended, appears unchanged, mostly conceals from the eye of the geologer the object of his search, and the kind of rock is scarcely to be seen. On both sides of the island we observed only argillaceous porphyry and amygdaloid ; black patches, which we noticed from the sea on the eastern declivity and foot of the great old crater, seemed to us to be a lava. The clouds collect round tbye summits of the mountains, and rain frequently falls in the interior of the island, while a scorching sun burns up the strand. The temperature visibly changes as soon as you enter the mountain-valleys from the exterior plains. We already possessed three measurements of the height of Mouna Koa, differing very much from each other, after King, Marchand, and Homer. The more exact measurement of M. Yon Kotzebue determines it within six toises of the second above-mentioned; and bis trigonometrical labours on the other summits of the Sandwich islands, present an interesting series. The short time which was allowed us on both visits, only permitted us to look with regret on the mountain ol Owhyee, which appeared to us worth the object of a voyage on purpose to the Sandwich islands. We were even obliged to renounce the examination of them though on the spot To ascend Mouna Koa from Titatua requires a journey of at least two weeks (compare Vancouver,) and at Titatua and Powarua at the very foot of Wororay, the summit of which we could hope to ascend in a short time, there stillremained the journey to the ship at Hana-rura, in a double canoe of the natives, which was not to be depend~SWSBBBBBBBBBBBBsI Ed on, as you can have no command at all over such a boat: the navigation is impeded by frequent taboos, and the passage from Owhyee over to Mowee, and from Morotoi to W oahoo might be long delayed and pre- vented by the wind. What Archibald Men- zies, the learned companion of Vancouver, has collected in plants on different excursions to the heights of Owhyee and Mowee, lies still buried with so many other treasures in the Herbarium of Banks; and though the venerable Nestor of natural philosophy has opened his zophylacium to the naturalist, and to all learned men, with the same unequalled hospitality, no one has yet undertaken to make us acquainted with the Alpine Flora of Owhyee. The Flora of Owhyee has nothing" in common with the nearest continent of the coast of California. The leafless form of the Acacia, the species' of Metrosidros, Pandarvus, Santalum. Aleurites, Dracaena, Amotnum, Curcuma, Tacca, impress the stamp of its origin and natural relationship. Predominant are the families of Rubiaceama, Contortas, and Vrtkte, of the latter of which several species, growing wild, are used to prepare different kinds of bast-stuff.* Several arborescent, milky Lobeliacem are distinguished. The exterior boundary of the island produces but very few kinds of grass and shrubs. In the interior the Flora is rich, without, however, being comparable with the luxuriant abundance of the Brazillian soil. Only low trees descend to the valley; among them the Aleurites triloba, with its whitish foliage, forms conspicuous thickets round the skirts and on the declivities of the mountains. You find here and there, in the high mountain defiles, wonderful banana groves, the trunks of which, crowded close together, cause a gloomy night, with their broad, extended foliage. This plant, which, cultivated on the strand, reaches scarcely a height of five feet, attains in these places thrice that height. The acacia, out of the trunk of which the large canoes of the natives are hollowed, attains only in the mountains the height necessary for this purpose ; you find here and there the sanders-tree, the wood of which so highly valued in China, bestows riches on the rulers of these islands, while the oppressed.people, who are obliged to collect it, are impoverished, as they are taken away from their agriculture and arts. The. taro-root (Arum esculentum,) beaten to a pap, after it has been boiled, constitutes the chief food of the people. Woahoo is the most fertile of the Sandwich Islands, from which Owhyee receives a part of the taro necessary for its consumption. The cultivation of the valleys behind Hana-rura is remarkable. Artificial ponds support, even on the mountains, the taro plantations, which are at the same time fish-ponds; and all kinds of useful plants are cultivated on the intervening dams. Many imported plants are now cultivated close to the originally Dative, but the people who are attached to their ancient mode of life, make use of only a few of them. Among these the tobacco must be chiefly mentioned, the use of which all the nations ofthe earth have been ready to adopt. The water-melon, the melon, and •The paper-mulberry (Broumanetiapapj/rtftra.)

Besides the pernicious kava, fermented liquors are prepared from the tea-root, (Dracaena terminalis;) but the sugar-cane is not yet employed for this purpose. To the diligence of M. Marin, as a farmer, the Sandwich Islands in general, nnd Wohhoo, his present residence, in particular, lie under great obligations. He has assiduously introduced and multiplied our various kinds of animals and plants. He has near Hana-rura numerous herds ofcattle. (Goats seem to be more generally spread.) He possesses horses, and will increase the breed of asses and mules, which are more useful in these mountains. Many foreign trees and plants are reared in his plantations. Several which he has introduced, are already found everywhere growing wild; for example, the Portulacca deracea, (only two other species of the same kind belong to the native Flora.) He hns lately had rice grown from Chinese seeds, after many fruitless attempts. He has planted vineyards of considerable extent, and the grapes flourish very well, but he is yet unskilled in the art of making wine. We have frequently had occasion to remark, during the course of our voyages, that the art of using the productions already existing, is a more urgent want than the introduction of new ones, and embrace this opportunity of giving a useful hint to beneficent travellers. There are only wanting a few books of instructions. The only original wild quadrupeds of the Sandwich Islands are a small bat and the rat. To these is added our common mouse; besides the flea, some species of blatta, and other noxious parasites. The oxen are now grown wild in the interior of Owhyee, where the Kinp; sometimes has them killed for his table. We observed among the land-birds the Nectarina cocinea, whose highly-valued feathers form a part of the tribute. The sea is rich in fish, many kinds of which are adorned with colours of extraordinary splendour. They are numbered among the favorite dishes of the inhabitants who breed them in the taro plantations, and in fish-ponds which are formed by places walled in on the and still piously revere bis memory. Trade followed the traces of Cook to the north-west coast of America; and the Sandwich Islands, which afforded all kinds of refreshments to the navigators sailing thither, thus received the importance which their discoverer as cribed to them. With Vancouver we are at home with them. A great man with whom, while yet a youth, we were made acquainted by Cook, seized the reins of power at Owhyee, and strove for the sole government of the whole group. Tamaahmaah assured himself of the protection of Great Britain, by freely and voluntarily doing homage to King George, in the hands of his friend Vancouver. Later travellers, down to Lisanskoy, who were informed by the Europeans settled on the Sandwich Islands, extend our knowledge of them, and acquaint us with the sequel of the history. Our rapacious adventurers diligently promote war, to keep up the price of arms, which they gave in payment. Tamaahmaah accomplished the conquest of all the islands, and the King of Atooi, (the group lying apart in the west,) hastened to submit voluntarily to him whom he could not resist. He was, it is true, misled into rebellion, under the standard of the Russian American Company, but he immediately atoned for his fault, and did homage anew to his sovereign, (1817.) Tamaahmaah, favoured by the situation of his kingdom, and the sanders-wood, which it produces, has collected immense riches. He buys, with ready money, arms and ships; builds himself smaller vessels, which when he spares the copper-sheathing, are drawn on shore, and preserved under sheds at Titatua, Karakakooa, and on other places on the island of Owhyee. He sends out his ships manned half by Europeans, and half by natives ; and tries (in which he has not yet succeeded,) to procure admission for his flag into Canton. He chooses with great judgment such Europeans as offer him their services, and to those whom he employs, he is very liberal in lands and salary; he is nobleminded, and, with the instruction he receives from foreigners, remains still faithful to the spirit of his people, and to the customs of his ancestors.

No foreigner, though there are so many among the most powerful chiefs, and vassals of the kingdom, can make any claim to. govern the natives. Nothwithstanding these approaching political changes, the Sandwich Islands will remain what they are—the free port and staple of all the navigators of these seas. But should any foreign power conceive the foolish idea of taking possession of them, the jealous vigilance of the Americans, who possess the almost exclusive commerce of these seas, and the secure protection of England, would not be wanting to frustrate the undertaking. The conquest might indeed be effected. The fort in the background of the harbour of Hana-rura, which Mr. Young has erected without judgment, is merely a square of dry brick wall, without bastions or towers, and without ditches; and does not answer the double intention of the Governor, to defend himself against an external attack, and an internal enemy. The fort ought to be regularly built where it now stands, and there ought to be a battery on the external edge of the reef, to defend the entrance of the harbour. Notwithstanding their stock of ammunition and arms, the natives are not yet acquainted with the management of artillery, or with our military art A serious invasion might appear to be decisive; but the conquerors would only have conquered the earth for their grave. This people will not submit to strangers; and it is too powerful, numerous, and martial, to be quickly extirpated, like the natives of the Mariana Islands. This is the political situation of the Sandwich Islands. What is affirmed in the Missionary Register of 1818, p. 52, that a son of Tamori, King of Atooi, who is at present educated in the school of the foreign missions in Cornwall, (Connecticut, North America,) with other Owhyeeans, is the real heir of all the Sandwich Islands, betrays inconceivable ignorance. No missionaries had yet come to the Sandwich Islands; and, in truth, they could promise themselves but little fruit among this sensual people. Christianity cannot be established in Eastern Polynesia, but on the overthrow of every thing existing. We do not doubt the events at Otaheite, but, at the same time, we cannot conceive them; and M. Marin, who had previously visited these islands, told us, what is very clear, that the natives, for the most part, only visited the missionaries to have the pleasure of mimicking their customs. We are indebted to the contributions of William Mariner, and to the laudable diligence of Dr. John Martin, for the most valuable addition to the knowledge of Polynesia, in the satisfactory " Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands, London," 1818. This important work was not published at the time of our voyage ; and therefore the want of a similar work on the Owhyeeans ; the desire thoroughly to study the traditions and the history, the common and religious language; the religion and customs, the so- I s.s..K^^H^H.IIIIIIHHH!

's ship-yard, has invented a very useful tool, consisting of a small auger, about half-inch size, with a toggle joint, which allows its use for snip-carpentering and other work in many places where a common auger would be of no service. The entire auger is 18 inches in length, the joint being about the middle. In the repairs on the ship Petronila this instrument has proved very serviceable, and we see no reason why it may not become a valuable invention. Mr. Crockett intends to takeout a patent for it here, and we would recommend the same being done for the United States and England, for it is a tool that would come into general use. It certainly is a credit to oar mechanics when such tools can be not only invented, but manufactured in Hono- — lulu.—Adv. Rice.—We are much pleased to notice the arrival, of several oz-cart loads of the first crop of Hawaiian Rice, raised by Prinoe Lot and Dr. Ford, at Moanalua. This first harvesting will be at least 10 tonsbesides which there are a hundred or two acres now growing, not yet ready to harvest. From all parts of these islands, we hear of preparations made for planting riot, both by natives and foreigners, and the prospect is that the yield will be even larger than anticipated. From all we can learn, it is a very certain crop, cultivated with the simplest labor and the commonest tools, suoh as the natives have long been accustomed to in cultivating their taro. The prospects for rioe are oertainly encouraging— lb. -, * The Passage or the Comet.—From the letter of our Ban Francisco correspondent, we learn that the passage of the Comet from this port was ten days, 19 hours and 40 minutes, whioh is one of the shortest on record. By the following, from the Herald, it appears that the Commodore's passengers tendered him a banquet in San Francisco Testimonial—Capt. Paty.of the bark Comet, was honored by the passengers on his late remarkable trip (a little over.ten days) from the Sandwich Islands to this port, with an elegant banquet at Martin's on Saturday evening last. Several Russian and French officers were present, and the occasion was one of muoh good feeling.—/*.

England's National Debt.—The foundation of the immense debt of England was laid in the reign of Charles II., two hundred years ago. In 1763, it had risen to £139,000,000. At the close of the French Revolution in 1802, it was £671,000,000. In the twelve years of the wars of Napoleon it increased to £865,000,000, which wasvits maximum. From this point it rapidly decreased for thirty years, having been reduced in 1845 to £768,789,241. At the close of the Russian war in 1856, it had increased to £800,000,000; and in consequence of the Indian mutiny, the Chinese war, and the distrust of France, can hardly have diminished since.

Woman's Position in the Foreign Missionary Enterprise: An Address delivered Monday, Feb. 11th, at the Funeral of Mrs. Sarah W. W. Doane, Wife of the Rev. T. E. Doane, Missionaries of the American Board, at the Marshall Islands. BY REV. S. C. DAMON. IPublishecl by Request.] We are gathered this afternoon, to bury the remains of one who left her country, home and friends, in obedience to the command, " Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Some advocates of foreign missions have expressed the opinion that this command was binding upon man, but not upon woman. Those holding this opinion have argued, and argued eloquently, that the Christian minister should go forth to earth's remotest bounds, visiting every continent and island inhabited by a descendant of Adam, but he should go alone, " and unaccompanied by a wife. They have urged that the missionary should be unencumbered and unembarrassed with a family or any of those ties which bind other men to a home and family.

She reached the island of Ponape or Ascension, before she was twenty years old. She and her husband remained a few months at Ronokiti, the Rev. Mr. Sturges' station, and then removed to the north side of the island, into the Jekoit tribe. There they remained for eighteen months, and if there is to be found a field of trial and difficulty, in all this ocean, I believe it is in the part of the island of Ascension where they located. There they prosecuted the study of the language and other missionary work, until removed by vote of the mission, to Ebon, one of the Marshall Islands, to be associated with the Rev. Dr. Pierson and wife, in the establishment of a new mission, but in a most difficult and -untried field of labor. Any one acquainted with the Marshall Islanders, knows that there is not a more proud, intractable, haughty and blood-thirsty tribe in this vast Pacific. They were the terror of the wrecked mariner—most emphatically a piratical race, not giving or asking " quarter." Among this people our departed missionary sister spent her missionary life, or four years, gone to Africa, to India, and to China. She from 1857 to 1861.

It was her lot to have entered the experienced when some of those haughty and overbearing chiefs came to mingle their sympathies, and spread a new mat over the little one's remains. On our arrival, in the Morning Star, it was our intention to have cruised several weeks among the islands of the Ralick group, but the delicate state of Mrs. Doane's health and that of her child, led us to sail, as soon as the annual supplies of the mission were landed. On our departure, Mrs. Doane and children embarked as passengers for Honolulu, but it was decided that the interest of the mission absolutely demanded that Mr. Doane should remain and prosecute his missionary work. This was a great trial. He came off and saw his family on board. The following sketch I copy from No. XXI. of " Morning Star papers:" " Never shall we forget that parting scene. This hymn was sung : does, of should remind something in the BiMe; her whole life should be altogether a New Testament life." When this elevated and common-sense view of the missionary work is carried out, then woman takes her rightful, proper, noble and all-important position in the advancement of the jrand missionary enterprise. It is a most animating thought, that this • view of woman's position has become thoroughly embodied in the modern theory of Protestant missions. It is undoubtedly, the true gospel method. There has not been found any very difficult or insuperable obstacle in the way of its accomplishment. Abstractly speaking, some have argued, that woman would be inadequate to the task— the undertaking would be too hazardous for her frail nature ; but the very opposite result has been found true in practice. I am not aware as she has ever been found wanting, or shrunk back when called to either the North or the South, to the East or the West. She has found her way to Greenland and other foreign climes. She has cheerfully • " How vain is all beneath the skies ! How transient every earthly bliss ! How slender all the fondest lies.

Though passing through a vale of tears." " The Key. Mr. Doane offered a prayer in the Ebon language, and it was followed by a prayer in English. We saw a number of the native Christians, or 'lovers of Jesus,' pass around to the state-room window and bid Mrs. Doane forewell, with many tears. It would have subdued the stoutest soul to have witnessed the missionary part with his wife and children, and then step into his boat and steer lor his lonely home ! There may be a romance about the missionary life, when viewed from the shores of Christian England and America, but all romance is dissipated and it puts on a stern reality when the real experience comes. As we stood upon the quarter deck of the Morning Star, conversing with the Rev. Mr. Doane, and taking a last look at the shores of Ebon, we said, It is hard for you to part with your family, and go there to labor alone.' His only reply was, ' 1 could not, if I did not feel that Jesus was my companion.' Surely it was no unmeaning language of our Savior, with you alway, even unto the ' Lo,of1 am world.' end the While this scene was passing, the sailors were heaving at the anchor, and the sails were loosening. We were soon off and bound for Strong's Island, but with the glass, we watched that little boat, rising and falling with the swell, until it was lost in the distance. When that happy family will be again united, is known only to the Master, in whose cause they ' Eicious ■ labor." But the Divine Master has decided that the happy family shall not be united again on earth. He has called the wife away from her husband, and the mother from her children. 0 how fervently she prayed that she might once more see her husband, if it should be the Lord's will. She, however, could and did say, "Thy will be done." Daring that fearful night of the 23d of July, when we all expected to have found a watery grave, she uttered the same sentiment. Not that she was indifferent to life, for she was tenacious of life. She clung to her children and to her husband. Her active mind was �19 THE FRIEND, MARCH,IBI2. to her field of labor. I was a horribly cruel murder, and what commenced laughing she would have returned Often have I heard her remark, that she never regretted having come upon a mission to Micronesia. Her missionary life had been happy, although oftentimes exceedingly trying. It is a gratifying circumstance that during all her distressing sickness upon shipboard and in Honolulu, she has enjoyed the constant attention of a faithful Ebonite Christian female—a woman who has been elevated from the lowest depths of heathenism by her labors and example ! Under all these circumstances, I do not wonder that she clung to life, or wished to live many days, if it should be God's will. She was in the very prime of woman-hood. Life looked bright before her. Her heart was in her work and in the education ofher children, hence it was seemingly hard for her to be sick—to be thus early in life laid aside. While it was thus trying for her to bid adieu to the scenes of this world, yet when the Master called, she was ready. Up to nearly the last moment, her faculties were clear and bright. Death had no terrors. At length, when " The angel of the covenant Was come, and faithful to bis promise, stood Prepared to walk with herthrough desth'sdark vale," she leaned upon his arm and passed quietly over the Jordanof death. Her last moments were peculiarly serene and happy. Who doubts for one momerlt that she now is among the blood-washed throng, singing the praises of God and the Lamb, and experiencing the sentiment of those lines we have so often heard her sing: we've been there ten thousand years, " When Bright shining, as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise. Than when we first begun." Martyrs of Erromanga. ■is a most remarkable fact, that another ler of English Missionaries should have occurred near the very spot where Messrs. Williams and Harris were murdered in 1839. An account of the recent massacre at Erromanga, has already been published in the English and American newspapers, but the following narrative we publish, because written by an eye witness. We are not personally acquainted with the writer, but from a letter which now lies before us, we infer that he is connected with a Sydney trading vessel, which chanced to be at the Bay when the sad event occurred. This writer refers in the letter which he has addresed to us, to the massacre of the Captain and crew of the American whale ship Superior, at the Solomon Islands, which occurred in the autumn of 1860. 811, the writer, dates his commu- Dillon's Bay, Erromanga, June 12th, 1861. ;ond murder took place on this ishe 20th of last month, it was that of the Rev. Mr. Gordon and wile, who have been missionanes here for the last three years. He was a very good and kind man by the account of all that knew him intimately, and greatly beloved by the few whom he had trained over on the side of religion. It made it more affecting was, on account of ils being so near the place, where the lamented John Williams and Mr. Harris fell, and close to the spot where the former was cooked. The only account we can get for doing the foul deed is, that they believed he brought sickness here, (they have threatened the missionary on Tanna, and burnt the churches in Anaham, on account of the same thing, the measles, brought from Port dc France, New Caledonia, and raging violently here for some time, as well as amongst other islands of the group, having been brought by natives returning from Port dc France home.) However, it was an excuse for them, but it was an inordinate desire for eating human flesh, and a great love of murder, possessed by none so much as this island and Tanna, which are only eighteen miles apart, but speaking quite different languages, and not understanding each other. The way of the murder was this: Mr. Gordon had his house on the top of a hill, about 1000 feet above the level of the sea, in quite an unprotected place, even his churchgoing members did not live nearer than a mile, with the exception of one or two—they lived at the foot of the hill in the exact spot where John Williams was killed, and where Mr. Gordon had erected his first chapel and printing office. This spot he had left, on account of its unhealthiness, and removed on the hill. He had now determined to remove further down, half way between the former and present residence, on account of the severe hurricanes in the winter months. He was at this time building a new house and church in the intermediate spot. About a 100 yards from his house there is a small thicket, through which the road runs; the two places may be about half, or allowing for the sinuosities of the road, three-fourths of a mile apart, and a very steep road it is. Mr. Gordon, on Monday the 20th of May, was at the lower or new house, busy at work, having sent all his natives but the little boys to gather grass to roof the house. A party of natives, eleven in number, came to the upper residence, and finding Mr. Gordon not there, nine of them placed themselves in ambush in the end of the thicket nearest the hou?e ; two of them went down to him and asked him for some calico and some medicine for a sick man ; he took a piece of charcoal nnd wrote on a board to his wife: " Give these men a yard of calico each," and told them that would do ; then they said that their chief Lova, or Lauvaa, was in the house and wished to see him. He replied, have not eaten my dinner yet; let me " I and eat then I'll go"—Mrs. Gordon having sent a plate of yam and fowl down to him. However, without waiting to eat, he said, '■Come alone I can eat in the house." They said, " Go on, we'll follow." He immediately set off, followed at some distance by the two natives. Just as he was emerging from the thicket, he received a blow on spine; he fell with his face forwards, uttering a scream. He then received a blow under his right ear, with a tomakawk, almost severing his head from his body; another severe cut in the left side of the neck; three wounds on his right arm, and several other wounds. On hearing the scream, Mrs. Gordon ran nut. and the natives, to drown it. and shouting. Two of them by this time had left the wood. Mrs. Gordon asked what the noise was about. They said, nothing. She then asked where the rest of the natives were. One of them ( said he did not know; at the same time one was creeping gently up behind her, with his tomahawk concealed. When near enough, he struck her also in the spine, then gave her the last, but useless, cut in the left side of the neck, severing everything. Immedidiately the alarm was given, I and Mr. Milne, and Capt. Edwards, of Port dcFrance, armed ourselves and natives, and went in pursuit. We were too late to secure the murderers, but secured the bodies from being taken off and eaten, and the house from being plundered and burnt. The bodies were a most ghastly sight to look on. We carried them down to where he first landed, and John Williams was killed, and there, with tears and lamentations, laid them side by side, and the greatest mourner was the very chief Pauvaa, who killed John Williams. The missionaries have erected a very nice tomb, and fenced it in. We and they arc daily threatened, but we keepagood look-out. Trusting I have not been to prolix, I hope you will forgive the scribble, as I am not altogether well. Anything else about the group, 1 will be better able to let you know again.

Mr. Editor—Having opportunity to write you, via San Francisco, I improve it to thank you for your package of Friends, which makes us feel that, in these ends of the earth " a friend in need is a friend indeed." We are also glad to find therein your account of your visit to Micronesia, and regret that while you were visiting our southern neighbors, that you could not also have given us a call, especially as the storms of the sea seemed so much to urge you toward our storm-girt shores. We are glad to hear that the brethren at the south are prospered in their labors, and that they do not hava the laws against them as we do in Japan. I see you believe that the people of some of those islands -are partially, at least, of Japanese origin, and that perhaps their languages are somewhat similar. I have aA several times compared lists of word.*, which 1 have seen published, of thelanguage of these our southern neighbors, and I have never yet found one similar to a Japanese word. But that the matter may be more fairly tested, I send you a copy of, " Medhjlrst's Vocabulary," in which the Japanese words are given in English letters, and after, in the native dress. This, if you please, you may send to some of the missionariesof those islands, supposed to be somewhat similar to the Japanese. The books and tracts which you so kindly sent, have, I hope, been doing good service among the sailors.

The Calendar of Cambridge, presents a comprehensive viewof the history and present condition of that venerable institution, the origin of which dates far back in the annals of England. The University of Cambridge, is the union of seventeen colleges. St. Peter's College was founded in 1257, which is the oldest, while Downing was founded in 1800, which is the youngest. In 1860 there were 1,496 undergraduates in these several colleges. The University Library, contains 170,000 volumes. This University may justly be ranked among the proudest monuments of England's greatness. The late Prince Albert was Chancellor of this University, at the lime of his death. He had held the office since 1847. No wonder the hundreds and thousands of its graduate), look back with fond pride to their University, rich in funds, buildings, grounds, and all the means, facilities and appliances for obtaining a finished education.

It Was highly gratifying to our American feelings, to find two of our poets furnishing passages of their writings for the students of Cambridge to test their Greek and Latin scholarship.

A Catalogue, of Vale College, for 1861-2, exhibits unmistakeable proofs of great prosperity in that excellent institution, dating back to the year 1700. Its Library then contained only " 40 volumes," given by a lew clergymen, who said, " These books we give for the founding of a College in Connecticut," but now its Library has increased to 69,500 volumes. There are 462 undergraduates and 137 pursuing a professional course, lienco 5'J'J students are now connected with this flourishing institution. During the last century, the celebrated Bishop Berkloy was a distinguished patron of Vale College.

A Catalogue of Williams College, for 1861-2, reports '212 undergraduates. This institution was founded in 1798,and after struggling against sundry adverse influences, has now attained a highly respectable standing among American Colleges. It is presided over by one of the ablest of American Divines, the Rev. Dr. Hopkins, who is assisted by an efficient corps of Professors and tutors. This institution enjoys the honor of having graduated those young men who led off in the Foreign Missionary enterprise. There Mills, Richards and others formed their plans for going abroad as Missionaries to the heathen. Some of our prominent men upon the islands, graduated at Williams, and among them we will mention Chief Justice Allen, President Mills, Rev. E. Corwin and Rev L. Smith. Several young men Irom the islands, have lately graduated from this institution, while we notice but one among the undergraduates from the islands Senior. Samuel C. Armstrong, A glance tit a Catalogue of Amherst College, calls up many pleasant recollections, for it was within the walls of that flourishing institution, that we pitssed lour years, from 1882-1836. Thia Collego was fouuded, iv 1820, and has already taken an enviable position among the sisterhood of American Colleges. It is pleasantly located in the delightful valley of tho Connecticut, and is surrounded by a most picturesque amphitheatre of hills and mountains. Uo the opposite bank of this river stands Northampton, and in the intervening valley lies the quiet valley of Hadley, while to the right Sugar-loaf Mountain, and to the left Mount Holyoke, stand ns sentinels guarding the inhabitants of that most beautiful spot in all New England. This institution has always enjoyed the efficient servioes of an able Faoulty, and talented body of Professors and tutors. Professor Hitchcock, the veteran American Geologist, of world-wide fame, still holds th« Professorship of other professorNatural Theology and Geology. The ships are tilled by gentlemen of ripe scholarship and emineut scientific attainments. The present number of undergraduates is 242. It was during the period of our connection with this institution, that there names: : II ( . some students who have sinoe become known to fame. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Pastor of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. Dr. Storrs. were another Pastor of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Dr. Rookwell still another Pastor of that "City of Churches," were our fellow students at Amherst. The Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, and successor of the Rev. Dr. Scott, was our classmate. The former divine cume out with a Secession sermon about one year ago, which was extensively circulated and reviewed His talents and throughout the United States. ability are of the highest order. A late visitor to the United States, after hearing various preachers, in different parts of the country, remarked that the Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, was his modelpreacher. It has been announced that be received a call to become the successor of the Rev. Dr. Alexander, in New York oily. We cannot but express our regret that our old friend and fellow classmate should now find himself in the ranks of the Secessionists. We could mention several other persons, who were quietly pursuing their Collegiate studies, only a few years ago, at Amherst, but who now have become men of distinction, among them the Rev. Dr. Huntington, late Preacher to the University of Cambridge, and the Rev. Dr Hitchcock, Professor of Ecclesiastical History, in Union Theological Seminary" at New York city. We do well remember as a student, the celebrated Prof. Fowler, S( Phrenological notoriety. Other American Colleges maypossess advantages equal to those of Amherst, we are confident however but very few are superior. There, the student is happily removed from the vicious and dissipating influences and associations of a large city, and happily surrounded by the most healthful and invigorating influences of refined literary society. The religious influences of the region are of the old Puritan stamp. There, in the heart of old Massachusetts, may be witnessed the genuine fruit of that seed of whioh it bat been said, that God sifted three kingdoms, to obtain seed wherewith to plant the hills and valleys of New England.

It may interest his adopted countrymen, at lenst, to read the following well written Yours, truly, episode in his life. * The Poet and his Bride. A TRUE TALK OF A PURE LOVE. Among the children who played in the magnificent grounds of the stately Chateau dc Boncourt, there was one unlike the rest in mental traits, as also in the possession of a rich and tender fancy, through which, young as he was, he viewed the external world. Everything around him was calculated not only to nourish this, but also to implant and cherish that esprit dc corps which characterized the old nobility of France, more, perhaps, than that of any other country. His family had been pre-eminently loyal, had enjoyed uninterrupted wealth, a succession of honors, and had intermarried with various reigning houses. Thickly around were strewn the carefully preserved souvenirs of countless gallant achievements, of events which had become history, of superb festivals, and princely weddings. Over these the boy sometimes brooded, and there was one which particularly attracted his eye —a sword, bestowed with the rank of captain upon his grand-father, at the age of fifteen, lor u service which proved his right to that advancement. But a new plant or a ' roving insect gave him greater pleasure than the stained and moth-eaten banners which drooped idly in the chapel, or the chains, the helmets, and the linked mail which shone proudly in the great hall, or hung, covered with dust, in the armory. The flittinrr of a bird's wing, the chime of the vesper bells faintly heard in the twilight, the conflict of clouds borne on opposing winds, the gleam of the lightning, had for the little Adalbe yon Chamisso a fascination as irresistible a it was singular. The Revolution broke rudely upon h dreams, and his family, reduced to a poi but one removed from poverty, succeeded crossing the frontier. Attached as they were to station and privilege, the glitter of orde and the array of titles, necessity compellef them to seek for him some better dependene than an empty name, and he entered as pupil the painting department of the roya porcelain manufactory of Berlin, At fifteet he was placed among the Queen of Prussia pages; a change which aided to give h opinions that soundness and depth for whic they were, later in life, distinguished. > seventeen, after a prolonged inward struggle reluctantly, and haunted by gloomy fore bodings, he entered the Prussian army, am in three years recelVed a lieutenancy. No withstanding his enthusiasm, his gallantry and his restless activity, the career of arm was not that for which he was beat fitted and its early termination, through no fault o his own, was not to be regretted, save fo the mortification which he endured on ths account. During this period, he had no been idle. He had been a careful student arid had done much towards mastering the �22 THE FRIEND, MARCH, lit 2. language in which he was to win an honest and enduring fame. He had fallen in love, also, with the pretty and fascinating widow, Madame Ceres Duvernay, and manfully proposed for her hand, saying to himself, " Lore needs so little." Luckily. Madame knew better. Did it * not need satins and laces, a new jewel now and then, a floor in town, a cottage in the country, saddle-horses and servants ? Certainly—so she kissed her hand to the handsome, large-natured youth whose soul was in his soft, expressive eye*, and left him to his books, and to the group offriends whose affection soon enabled him to forget his transient passion. La Motte Fouque, Neumann, Dc la Foye, and Hitzig were among them, and not one but retained a place in his heart through every alternation of good and evil fortune. They started a poetic annual called " The Green Book," which was greatly admired, and through the medium of which Freiligrath ultimately became known to the public. Weary, because purposeless, years followed, yet they could not have been altogether wasted. Closely allied both by birth and education to the higher orders, Chamisso yet approved that vast social change which had brought to him only misfortunes; looking below the surface to its primal principle, forgiving its first wild excesses, never swayed by selfishness on the one hand, never betrayed into fanaticism on the other, as warmly cherishing the memory of the past, hopeful for the future, whose promise was at best fitful and often clouded, he was gradually developing into one of the noblest specimens of a man, a subject, and a citizen. Early exiled from France and transferred in boyhood to Germany, he belonged to neither country. the soil; there, the men, are foreign "toHere, me," he said. He joined his family in their country to which they had returned, but he was not content, and returned to Berlin. In Hitzig's house he came nearer to repose. Thoroughly generous, that accomplished writer occasionally adopted the orphan child of a friend, and so was always surrounded by a blooming band growing into estimable womanhood amidst healthful home training and influence. To them, as to their elders, Chamisso was a welcome guest. Numberless were the drafts which he made for them upon his exhaustless imagination. Grotesque tales worthy the soil of Iran, wild legends, witty caricatures, charming allegories, exquisite moral stories, interspersed with snatches of song, and little poems worthy of the "Green Book," followed each other, often in quick succession. Curious pantomimes sometimes filling up the evening, in which his execution was admirable. Among the children who crowded about him, was one. Antonie Piaste, who, more frequently than the others, found a place upon his knee, and upon whose intelligent countenance his gaze rested with peculiar pleasure. Shy at first, she learned to creep closer and closer to him. Nothing was wanting to the visit if his fingers might toy with her silken hair, or fold over the small hand which impulsively sought their clasp.

But when the occasion came, she saw only the traveler and poet, and she grew timid; so There was silence for some minutes after that the bond so delightful to both seemed he had finished; the younger members of indeed broken.

Chamisso was appointed curator of the Botanic Garden, and May 7, 1819, wrote thus : You know my bride Antonie Piaste, the handsomest and dearest of those maidens whom, as Hoffman says, Hitzig keeps about him to kiss his hand and call him papa—the one whom Loest betrothed to me, as a child, in 1807—now I fetch her home. I have chosen with my understanding, and taken hold of the chosen object with my heart. * * If you come back soon to Berlin, I hope that you will find me in a little house that stands close by the Botanic Garden, (I am the director's assistant, with a salary of six hundred dollars, and have selected that little house for my official residence,) busily and pleasantly occupied with my flowers, and with a helpmate like them. But if any old friend returns here twenty years hence, then I hope to God he may find me just as ever, engaged with my flowers and my helpmate, only there shall sit by our side a blooming girl that shall repeat faithfully and unaltered her for I should mother's present image, * be loth to forego the pure satisfaction with which my artistic eye rests on my Antonie's fprm." In 1825, Chamisso was called to Paris to receive 100,000 francs from the Commissioners of the Indemnity Fund. He was feted and caressed, but wrote to his wife, " Don't forget the roses don't forget the children's letters; don't forget to strew food for sparrows on my window. I shall return to you the same as I left you; let me find everything again just as it was." His poetical reputation increased until he became a decided favorite with the public. Honors were also conferred upon him as a naturalist, which he enjoyed in his own guileless, conscientious way. In 1837, his wife died, ond he survived her only fifteen months. His last lines were written for the benefit of a washerwoman, and produced one hundred and fifty dollars. A thoroughly earnest, active, truthful man, Chamisso wins the affection of his readers so quietly that one does not know he is knocking at his heart until he has already entered. * * * " * • „ . ; CHARTS FOR SALE.

Eoiroa: Dear Sir—l am very glad jo hear from the lalanda that an effort Is being mads to encourage the cultivationof cotton as ;uj artlele of export, and I have no doubt but that the effort will be successful If persevere- In. I have been amused at theremarks of some of the verdant writers who speaker the first eottoai seed having been carried to the Islands between twenty and thirty years ago. Samples of cotton, of native production, were sent to China by Kamehameha Ist, forty-five yearsago, and other samples were sent by Kamehameha 2d, about the year 1828, (38 years ago,) the seed having been extracted hy hand. These samples were there pronounced l>y competent judges, a very excellent article, very fine and of a long staple, and have been compared to the American Sea Island. Theold seed may be Improved ly cultivation, and become as good as ever it was In former days ; hut to improve the quality, and for the benefit of all Interested, Mr. Charles Breuer has now on the way out, In his bark Arctic, a barrel of the best seed that could be procured, and at a great expense. The great facilitiesfur raising cotton on our aouthern virgin ■oil, with slave labor, and aided by the cotton gin, our King l.'otton" haa had almost a monopoly. He grew rich, fiailiili, and finally ran mad, and set about his own destruction. The tint shot fired against the walls of Fort Sumpter, amused not only a rival but a nation to arms against King Cotton, and the world aa his rivals, and they are cultivating cotton in all parts of the world,and In no pert can a better art icle be produced than at the Hawaiian Islands. Having had a personal knowledge ofyour soil, and climate, and the goodness of the article raised there, as soon as our troubles here began, I commenced writing about It, and knowing the importance or the CiiMort Gin, In clearing it from the seed, I sent out one In the Raduga, which arrived out safe ; but I have not heard on, word about the Glo,but by advice I have sent out two more llins In the bark Arctic. They are such as I thought best adapted to the commencement of the cultivation, and shall be glad te hear that the crops require the greater article to clean it from Its seed. I have also sent the printed description of tbeni to Messrs. C. Brewer tr Co., aod beg leave to send a set of printed circulars and description of the din to you, winch please cause to be placed where they will tie useful to the cultivator of cotton.

APRIL 1, 1862. Good News from America. The news from the United States is of the most thrilling interest. Every arrival from San Francisco, brings the intelligence of one or more Federal victories. After the battle of Bull Run on the 23d of July, the Government and people of the United States, fully realized that the rebellion was a foe requiring a strong arm to put it down. They addressed themselves to the work. It took about six months to arm and equip an army of six hundred thousand and blockade a roast of two thousand miles. During this season of preparation the South was crying, " come on," " one southern soldier is equal to five northerners," " the black flag is our banner," " we ask no quarter, neither give any." The Northern leaders kept quietly at the work of preparation, waiting for the right moment to strike. The time has come for the strike to be made, and already Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee have been nearly cleared of Secession troops. The latest intelligence is, that Manassas has fallen, and the Northern armies flushed with victory ars upon theirtriumphant march southward. We hope the day is near at hand, when the rebellious traitors will be put to flight and the Union lovers, scattered throughout the rebel States, will be allowed to speak out their patriotic sentiments. The plague spot of slavery, we are glad to learn, is already disappearing Its doom is sealed. /rom that favored land. «*»z. Washington's Farewell Address. CONTENTS Far April. 1802. Oootl Nrw» from America WMhltifton'i Farewell Addreu Correspondence of the Friend Ufa Prolonged by Care A Loyal American Conaul The Stone Fleet Marine Journal,4c L 1, \m Sttm, dbi. nThe Farewell Address of George Washington, President, We have been led to publish, in our colTo the People of the United States, on umns, this interesting and farewell address Septembeb 17, 1196. by the Father of our country, inconsequence of President Lincoln's recommendation, that this document should be read by ministers of all religious denominations, in their churches on the 22d of February—Washington's Birth Day. From late newspapers, we learn that the President's recommendation was generally compLied with on that day. It was also read by Chaplains in the army and navy of the United States. The friends and lovers of their country, do not wish for a reconstruction or remodeling of the great political edifice, but they do desire to maintnm the old Union,and for the attainment of this desirable end they are pouring out their treasure and their blood. The question is sometimes asked, for what are the Americans fighting ? We answer, for their country, for the union of the States, for constitutional liberty. We hope the warfare will not cease until over that broad land the flag of our country shall again wave in triumph. When that time arrives, it is our honest belief that there will be a strong, prosperous and peaceful nation. Death of the Commissioner and Consul France.—The funeral of M. Emile Perrin will be attended this day. This distinguished Representative of the Empire of France, died on the 29th uk., in consequence of an injnry received by a fall from his horse, which terminated fatally in the disease of the lock jaw. The deceased experienced great suffering during the short period of his sickness. He has officiated as the Representative of France, since 1862, and had made his arrangements to return to France during the current year. He was fifty-two years of age. His office will be filled, for the present, by his able Secretary, Chancellor M. Varigny, who has oiled that station during the last seven years. of Friends and Fellow-citizen*: The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the Executive Government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have firmed, to decline being considered among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made. I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be assured that this resolution bus not been taken without a strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country ; and that, in withdrawing the tender of service, which silence, in my situation, might imply, I am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your future interest; no deficiency of grateful respect for your past kindness; but am supported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both. The acceptance of, and continuance hitherto in, the office to which your suffrages have twice called me, have been a uniform sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty, and to a deference for what appeared to be your desire. I constantly hoped that it would have been much earlier in my power, consistently with motives which I was not at liberty to disregard, to return to that meat from which I had been reluctantly drawn. The strength of my inclination to do this, previous to the last election, had even led to the preparation of an address to declare it to you; but mature reflection on the then perplexed and critical posture of oar affairs with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of persons entitled to my confidence, impelled me to abandon the idem. I rejoice that the state of your concerns, external as well at internal, no longer renders the pursuit of inclination incompatible with the sentiment of doty or propriety i and "» rapursuaded, whatever partiality may tained for my services, that, in the present. bei �26 THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1812. of our country, you will not to you with the more freedom, as you can only see in them the disinterested warnings disapprove ray determination to retire.

Turning partly into its own channels felicity as a people.

The East in like intercourse with the West, already finds, and in the progressive improvement of interior communication, by land and water, will more and more find, a valuable vent for the commodities which it brings from abroad, or manufactures at home. The West derives from the East supplies requisite to its growth and comfort; and what is perhap; of still greater consequence, it must, of necessity, owe the secure enjoyment of indispensable outlets for its productions, to the weight, influence, and the future maritime strength of the Atlantic side of the Union, directed by an indissoluble community of interest as one nation. Any other tenure by which the West can hold this essential advantage, whether derived from its own separate strength, or from an apostate and unnatural connexion with any foreign power, must be intrinsically precarious. While, then, every part of our country thus feels an immmediate and particular interest in union, all the parts combined cannot fail to find, in the united mass of means and efforts, greater strength, greater resource, proportionably greater security from externa! danger, a less frequent interruption of their pence by foreign nations; and what is of inestimable value, they must derive from union an exemption from those broils and wars between themselves, which so frequently afflict neighboring countries, not tied together by the same government; which their own rivalships alone would be sufficient to produce, but which opposite foreign alliances, attachments, and intrigues, would stimulate and imbitter. Hence, likewise, they will avoid the necessity of those over-grown military establishments, which under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty; in this sense it is that your union ought to be considered as a main prop of your liberty, and that the love of the one ought to endear to you the preservation of the other. These considerations speak a persuasive language to every reflecting and virtuous mind, and exhibit the continuance of tbe Union as a primary object of patriotic desire. Is there a doubt, whether a common government can embrace so large a sphere? Let experience resolve it. To listen to mere speculation, in such a case, were criminal. We are authorized to hope, that a proper organization of the whole, with the auxiliary agency of governments for the respective subdivisions, will afford a happy issue to the experiment. It is well worth a fair and full experiment. With such powerful and obvious motives to Union, affecting all parts of our country, while experience shall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there will always be reason to distrutt the patriotism of those, who, in any quarter, may endeavor to weaken its bands. In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs as a matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations—Northern aad Southern—Atlantic and Western : whence �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1 862. designing men may endeavor to excite a to put in the place of the delegated will of belief that there is a real difference of local the nation, tbe will of a party, often a small interests and views.

They serve to Organize most horrid enormities, is itself a frightnive it an artificial Hnd extraordinary force, I the 27 ful despotism. But this leads, at length, to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and, sooner or later, the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty. Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless, ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public councils, nnd enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with illfounded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another; foments, occasionally, riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the Government itself, through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another. There is an opinion thnt parties, in free countries, are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty. This, within certain limits, is probably true; and in Governments ofa monarchical cast patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by a force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire nottobequenchsd, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume. It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking, in a free country, should inspire caution in those intrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding, in the exercise of the powers of one department, to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of Government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power and proneness to abuse it which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in tbe exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the guardian of the public weal, against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments, ancient and modern ; some of them in our own country, under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as ne£ssary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of tbe constitutional powers be, in any particular, wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation ; for though this, [For 31.] 30, pp. conclusion, see �28 K THE THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1 862. FKIEND.

Washington's Farewell Address, printed in full, we copy from a volume having the above title. It was printed under the authority of Congress, and contains u vast amount of useful information, relating to the several departments at Washington. We are indebted to Mr. Secretary Seward for this volume. When he was a Senator, he occasionally honored the Friend with documents published under the sanction of Congress. In republishing Washington's Farewell Address, we most earnestly commend it to our American readers, and all others interested in this memorable document. It ii well, just at present, when rebels and traitors are endeavoring to overturn the government of their country, to call the attention of all classes of American citizens to the origin of the great North American Republic. Our patriotic sires lived in times which tried men's souls, but they bequeathed to us a legacy that must not be surrendered to an oligarchy of slaveholders. In a subsequent number, we intend republishing the Constitution of the United States. Americans cannot have their minds too frequently recalled to these state-documents. With Englishmen we can exult in the legacy of the Magna Charta, wrested from King John, on the field of Runymede, and as Americans we can glory in a Constitution for the defence of which twenty millions of freemen are pledged, and an army of six hundred thousand are contending. Corn, Cotton and Kick on Oahu.—During a recent trip around tbe island of Oahu, it was gratifying to observe that the corn crop looks well at Ewa and Waialua. The cotton crop hag thus far failed. Repeated attempts have been made at various localities, but the young plants have been cut off by the worms and insects. The rice crop is promising. From two to three hundred acres are now under cultivation, or in various stages of preparation. At some places tbe ground is being broken up, and at others the young plants are growing. The prospects are encouraging. At Waialua, we saw sixteen horses in one rce patch, exercising their pedal organs in preparing the soil. Let it not be said that old horses cannot be put to labor! [Correepondenoe of the Mend.] Oakland, Cal. March 3d 1862. Mr. Editor :—When I accepted your cordial invitation to write an article for the Friend occasionally, I thought it would be the easiest thing in the world to do. But now that I have actually undertaken the fulfilment of my promise, I must confess that 1 feel somewhat terrified. It is not that I picture you, as sitting in unappronchble majesty upon the editorial tripod, and holding, sternly poised, the scale of literary criticism, but some undefined terror tyrannizes over me. I have just now been looking over some back numbers of the Friend, to see whether my trepidation were merely that which ordinarily accompanies a first effort in any new direction, or whether there was any inherent cause for that distrust. I never can turn over the pages of the Friend, for years gone by, without feeling something somewhat akin to reverence. Its records are so various, so chequered, and so vivid. It is a miniature history of eventful periods, with commentaries. Now the editorial pen exults, in buoyant strains, as some marked indications of progress are recited, some signs which portend that the slow, solemn march of the world's history is rising into a purer system, and about to swell into a jubilant, triumphant psalm. Then, again, the record is sad—some sudden catastrophe—some shipwreck, in which some noble lives were lost, some great affliction, for which stricken households can never be consoled this side the grave. More fearful still, more pathetic, is the brief life-tale recited of those who, wandering recklessly over life's stormy ocean, went farther and farther astray, and perished in the dark, uncharted expanse of vice, far from any shore, leaving neither name nor work to perpetuate their memories. The Friend contains so much life-history, that estimated by its records, rather than its years, it seems old—and so 1 instinctively view it with reverence and awe on the score of age. Do you wonder, then, that I should start at the idea of seeing any of my thoughts go into the Friend t Why, if I were a writer of fiction, I would send for the Friend at once, from Vol. I to Vol. XIX, characters and evolve the philosophy of things. There is a column in the Friend which seems to involve a mystery;—it is that headed " Information Wanted." There it stands, issue after issue, and year after year, a reproachful monument of the strange perversity of the human heart! Inquiring friends and relatives arc searching after wanderers who have failed to report themselves. Love yearns for them, and anxiously questions concerning their fate, whether the grave, or that other death—that heartdeath, forgetfulness, holds them. How astonishing it is that any human heart can growcold and forgetful of home associations and the love of friends! Why do not these wanderers return I Why do they not, at least, write home ? Is there some Circean island in this wide ocean, where these men arc transformed into other natures, and by some strange spell, held in entire forgetfulness of their former selves i Surely there must be some fearful transformation of character, or love so strong as to search for its lost object year after year, over the whole world, would find them out and bring them back ! But this fault is not confined to seafaring men, and those who leadaroving life. Alas, a large part of the human race wanders in just such a manner. God's love follows them, searching them out in all their wanderings and through all their disguises, and urges them to return. Yet, how few return to enjoy the friendship and love of their Maker. There must be some radical and debasing enslavement of the human soul, when it can thus prefer bondage to liberty, the bitterness of sin to the sweetness of piety ! Our stormy winter has proved very disastrous to California—at least so far as present appearances go. Some of our cities have been overflowed several times. Much property has been lost, and much suffering has been endured. But I am not sure that all these things should be considered as losses. For present loss, there will doubtless be a future gain. It is thought these floods may fertilize the soil in many places where it was nearly exhausted, and also make the mines more productive by washing down gold from the mountains. It is certainly to be hoped that character will be fertilized and enriched by these visitations. Sorrow and suffering are not such calamities as we are apt to suppose. They generally bring large equivalents of self-poise and power. The eye moistened by tears is often the very best lens through which to look upon the world. I dare not say a word about the absorbing events of the day. Each hour the telegraph brings us some additional news, and events succeed each other with such rapidity that there is no time to speculate upon them. We may well feel proud of the energy and efficiency which the government is displaying, and we have every reason to hope that this stern civil conflict, with all its terrors and unhappy consequences, with result in a higher, purer aad more intense national Yours, »e«T W"y. life I> to study up 1 �29 THE FRIEND, APRIL, 18*2. Life Prolonged by Care.—The longevity of the human race is steadily increasing in civilized nations, if statistical tables can be trusted, and the following item from The Methodist shows the influence of good keeping; on long life: Few men take better care of themselves than the better class of British noblemen. They aim to make life as perfect as possible, to have as little jarring of the wheels and cogs as may be. They ore, many of them, the hardest workers and the healthiest men in the world ; and it may be truly said that while one part of mankind developes muscle at the expense of brain, and the other developes brain at the expense of muscle, the British nobleman is the only man now living who succeeds in cultivating at once brain and muscle. That their efforts are successful, here is a pretty good proof. Twentyfour members of the British peerage have died within the year 1860,and these twentyfour have exactly completed on the average, the full measure of the allotted span of human life, the three-score years and ten."

Four different translations of the Alhambra exists in German, and three in French. Over one hundred editions of his various works in the original English, many of them accompanied by notes and vocabularies, and designed for use as textbooks in schools, have been published in France, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden. Versions of portions of his writings exist in Icelandic, Finnish, Russian, Polish, Bohemian, Hungarian, and Greek, while some of his shorter sketches of Saracenic history have been rendered into Turkish and Vulgar Ambic ' A Loyal American Consul.—Our American men abroad are still loyal to the Stars and Stripes, as may be seen in the following extract from one of our sailor boy's letters: " While lying in port at the Bay of Islands, 1 saw a fight worthy of note, that I forgot to mention in my last. It was between the American Consul and Henri Davis, the Jew merchant at the Bay. It appears that the Jew had the English coat of arms on one of his windows and something resembling the American coat of arms on the other, with a duck instead of an Eagle on it. The Consul wanted to know what it meant, and the Jew replied, it is as good as the Americans deserve.' As he said this the Consul seized him and threw him out of the window. Then he asked him if he would repeat the offence. The Jewreplied,' The store is my own and I'll do as I please.' Whereupon a contest ensued, which ended as the Jew said ' I've had enough ; will not do the like again.' Then the American sailors who were on shore gave three cheers for the Consul, and three more for the ' Stars and Stripes.' It would not take many such men to quiet the Southerners."—American Paper.

As avenues to foreign influence in innuObserve good faith and justice towards all merable ways, such attachments arc particu- '' •• ,s i . 1 - • ; ; lady alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practise tbe art of eeduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils! Such an attachment of a small or weak, towards a great and powerful nation, dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter. Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to b» constantly awake; since history and experience prove thnt foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican Government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial; else it becomes the instrumentof the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defence against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike for another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil, and even second, the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become susoected and odious , while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests. The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. Our detached and distant situation invites us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient Government, the period is not far off when we may defy materia) injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon, to be scrupulously respected ; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel. Why forego the advantages of «o peculiar a situation ? Why, quit our own to stand upon foreign ground ? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice ? It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world ; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronising infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affaire, that honesty is always tbe best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in genuine sense.

MAY 1, I«6S. Mr. Pease's Catalogue. Wo publish in our columns to-day, one of tho most important documents ever compiled in regard to the history of the Sandwich Islands. This Catalogue, together with its Appendix, will comprise a miniature history of the Islands— multuminparvo. It was prepared by the compiler at our special request. We knew lis extensive research in Hawaiian literature, science and history, and felt anxious that he should make thatresearch valuable to the public. We hope this is but the first step iv a series of publications relating to the Islands. The private library of Mr. Pease contains a fur more extensive collection of books and manuscripts upon Hawaiian history than any other library in the world. We hope that the Legislature now in session, will take the requisite steps to secure this inval uable collection of books as tho foundation of a national library. He has already expended many hundredsofdollars on thecollection and is stilladding thereto. Should any of our readers have books in their possession, illustrative of the Islands but not specified in this catalogue, they will confer a favor by communicating with Mr. Pease or theEditor. In future numbers of the Friend we shall publish an appendix to this oata-1 ogue, including a more extended notice of th« several scientific and surveying expeditions that have; visited our Islands. A Better Time coming in America. We copy the following paragraph! from a private letter, written by the ReT. J. Spaulding. late Secretary of the American Seaman's Friend Society of New York. He writes under date of Feb. 28th. After referring to various battles, and the condition of theoountry, he conclude] at follow* :— <Last Friday Capt. Gordon, the slave-pirate was bang in this city ; and you may expect to hoar that righteous laws have been vindicated, • 33 and society protected by raoro exhibitions of this kind. So faraswecan forecast the issues of these troubles we regard the following as certain a purer and stronger patriotism, and a more consolidated government than ever before ; more selfrespect and a greater respect for free institutions abroad ; a healcher mode of conducting business; better men placed in offices of trust and responsibility ; no more extension of slavery in U. S. Territory; no moro protection ofthe slave trade under the U. S. Flag; no moro bluster and bludgeon in the interest of slavery on thefloor of Congress ; no more union ofany political party of the north with southern prtisans to uphold any institution at war with human freedom ; no more decent apologies for the system of slavery by decent men, but on the contrary a desire and determination to put an ond to the abomination just as fast as it can be done, and promote the highest interests of all concerned ; and finally no mows msbilmon under a government of righteous laws, justly administered. So much seems certain ; and worth all the cost, except the blood which the guiltyrebels haveofshed. the President Lincoln and other chief officers and esthe confidence have growing government, teem of the people. Men of all parties and of none, rejoice that we have a Government ably and wisely administered. Some men and some papers grumble; it is their nature, and as they cannot possibly live without a little exercise of tl.at kind, we let them eiercise their precious gifts, as we allow our neighbor's quadrupeds to use their vocal organs." : RTishnegTProUsmponeF c'cstlef amily. In estimating the momentous changes which tho rebellion is producing in the United States, 4here is no one more encouraging and hopeful than that relating to the treatment of the|African race. So far as the colored man was concerned the policy of the government has hitherto been oppressive, beoause the Government has been controlled by Southern politicians and statesmen. With the inauguration of President Lincoln the tables have changed. We would mention the fol. lowing among the favorable signs :—Abolitionof slavery in the District of Columbia-S-Seoretary Seward has granted a passport to a colored man to visitEngland— contrabands are reoeivedand employed as laborers within the military lines—lndications that Hay ti will ere long be acknowledged —last but not least, the execution.'.in the) city of New York, Feb. 21, of the notorious slave-dealer and pirate, Gordon. Unless we are mistaken this is the first execution of a slave-dealer! The English have captured hundreds bat we do not remember to have heard of an execution under the decision of an English Judge for the crims. {(Die Series, M 19. Noble Language. Not a few English Statesmen and politicians have openly avowed their sympathy with a Republio whose corner-stone was to be negro slavery, but honest John Bright the Quaker, is not to be found among the number. His voioe rings out in olear, strong, vigorous and liberty-loving tones. We are glad to know in Rochdsls, among his fellow townsmen, thers'were found those in whose bosoms was found a fall-toned echo to bis noble sentiments: A distinguished member of the House of Commons distinguished there by bis eloquence, distinguished more by hit many writings—l mean Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton—be did not exactly express a hope, but be ventured on something like a prediction, that the time would oome when there would be, I don't know how many, but as many Republics or States in America as you can count upon your Angers. There cannot be a meaner motive than this that I am speaking of, in forming a judgment on this question—that it is "better tor us ;" for whom I the people of England, or the Government of England?—that the United States should be severed, and that that continent should beat the continent of Europe is, in many states, and subject to all the contentions and disasters which has accompanied the history of the states of Europe. [Applause.] I should say that if a man had a great heart within him he would look forward to the day when, from that point of land which It habitable nearest to the Pole, to the shores or the Great Gulf, the whole of that vast continent might become one great Federation of States—that, without a great army and without a great navy, not mixing itself up with the entanglements of European politics—without a custom boose inside through the whole length and breadth of its territory, but with Freedom everywhere, equality everywhere, law everywhere, pesos everywhere—woo Id afford at last some hope thatman is not forsaken of Heaven, and the future of our race might be better than the past. [Pro longed cheering] • * * Whether the Union will be restored or not, or the South will achieve an unhonoredIndependence or sot, I know not, and I predict not. Bat this I think I know—that in a fsw years, the twenty millions of free men in the North will be thirty millions, or tvsn afty millions—a population equal to or exoeeding that of this kingdom. [Hear, hear] When that time comes, I pray that it may not be said among them, that in the darkest hoar of thsir country's trials, England, the land of their fathers, looked on with ley coldness, and saw unmoved the perils and the calamities of her ohilJren. [Cheers] As for me, I have bat this to say,—l am one in this acdienoe, and bat one in the eititen-sbip of this country ; bat if all other tongues are silent, mine shall speak for that policy whioh gives hope to thebondsmen of the and tends to generous thoughts, and generous words, and generous deeds, between the two great nations thai r that speak the English language, and who, origin are alike entitled to the English ■esse.
