AUGUST I. 1860, American College at Pekin. Having met with newspaper allusions to a College at Pekin, during the visit of Mr. Burlingame we applied to him for information on the subject. The following is the substance of what we learned: It appears that, several years ago, American merchants, missionaries and others, residing at Canton, received injuries in their property to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars. A demand was made upon the Chinese Government, through Mr. Burlingame. An arrangement was effected, and the Chinese paid $750,000. Those who had claims now brought them forward and were settled with, but after all were paid there remained a balance of over $200,000. Mr. Burlingame offered to return this amount to the Chinese, but they declined receiving it. The question then arose, whit shall be done with this money, which, in the meantime, has been well invested. It has been proposed to endow an American College at Pekin, and invest this money in a Board of Trustees, consisting of the Minister Plenipotentiary at Pekin, and a certain number of American Consuls in China, together with a number of American Missionaries, who shall be elected from time to time to that office, in all, say ten Trustees. It is furthermore proposed to admit young men from the United States, who shall receive an annual stipend to defray their expenses while at- 65 {(SMJStrits, M 23.

So the brig stood straight towards the river mouth, hoping to reach it in advance of the sloop, while the other kept on to capture her if she should turn back and attempt to run into Haspwall or Portland. " We shall be tuk, cap'n," cooly remarked a tall, ungainly youth of eighteen, who, with a dipper fastened to a ten-foot handle, was bailing up water from the sea and throwing it on the mainsail of the sloop, to swell the threads of the canvas and make it better hold the wind. As he spoke, he paused in his work, and leaned upon his long dipper-handle, and shutting one eye, he took a deliberate survey of the cruisers. " iSot so long as two timbers of the Sally hold together, 'Siali," responded the captain, who grasped the helm, and with one eye ahead and the other watching the enemy, directed the course of his little vessel towards the shelter he sought. "If we'd only had another twenty minutes afore sun-up, we'd a got in. But the day aint agoin' to stop for any man, and I dout expect it to. All we'must do is to keep the Sally out of '.he hands of the Britishers, now they've got their eyes on us. Wet the sails, 'Siah, keep wettin' 'em." " I guess they kind o' guess what we've got on board, captain," said 'Siah, as he cast a shower of spray over the mainsail. seem to take allfired trouble to catch "us.They See how the Sally jumps. The way she tosses the water with her bows, I won't have to wet her jib ; she does that herself." " If we don't get into the river, and them chaps overhaul us, what is to be done ?" asked Mr. Bissell. " It won't do to let them capture them six big guns, and two barrels of powder, and ton of shot, that we've got for the fort, that's a fact, 'Siah," said, very decidedly, Captain, or rather Deacon, Butters, who owned or commanded the Sally, which had been engaged a few days before, by the Government agent in Boston, to convey armaments and ammunition to the fort. This enterprise the deacon—for he was a lawful deacon in his own town,, which was forty miles up the river—had cheerfully undertaken, assuring the agent that he could get the Sally into the river safely, in spite of the cruisers. Shrewd, bold and cool, the deacon saw that by running only in the night and hugging the shore, he could probably get into the river undiscovered, especially as the cruisers used to stand off from the shore at night, a mile or two for an offing, and run in again at sunrise. The agent felt that a small coasting-vessel, with so watchful a captain as Deacon Butters, would be quite as likely to get into the river as a large one, if not more so, and gave him the commission. For the sum of three hundred dollars the deacon had bargained to take the munitions to the fort, and had also bound himself if there was any danger of being captured to scuttle the sloop and sink her. The cannon were battery thirty-twos, six in number, and were laid athwart-ship, side by side upon the deck. The shot were piled forward, and in the forecastle was ing 'SIAB H ROWN; OR, TheandEnYaSlgnlkiosehopCruiser. BY WM. ADRIAN HUNTLEY. Kennebec River, in Maine, is without a rival in New England, either for its historic associations or the beauty of its natural scenery. It rises among the passes of the highlands that form the northeast boundary line between the United States and Canada, and, after flowing through a romantic region for many miles, enters a valley of surpassing beauty, through which it meanders between level intervals of the richest verdure. There is a fort near the mouth of the river, called Fort Hunnewell. It is now a ruin, and is a celebrated resort of the people in summer. It was erected during the last war to defend the entrance to the river. It is situated upon a low beach, which is commanded on the north by a bold headland, a hundred feet high, on which frowns the ruins of a battery. At the time of our story, which was near the close of the war, two British armed vessels had been cruising off the mouth of the river some days, occasionally running close in with the fort, so as to draw their fire. They were effectually blockading the entrance to the river, and for some time no vessel had gone out or come in. Everything was brought to, even to the small fishingboat, and the strictest vigilance was maintained from the first day of their arrival. One morning in June, just as the sun was rising from the sea, throwing its fiery spears faT across the sparkling waves, lighting up every object upon which it lit, the English cruisers were standing in towards the mouth of the river, under topgallant-sails, with the wind free on the larboard quarter. They were half a mile apart, their course converging to a point. This point was a sloop, hugging the land and endeavoring to make the entrance to the river. Her broad mainsail was flung to the wind like a great white wing, and she was sweeping across the water like a gull flying before a storm. She had been discovered by the cruisers only a lew minutes before, when they tacked together and pressed after her to intercept her, making sail as they went. Fifteen minutes more of the obscurity of the morning, and the adventurous sloop would have got into ttte river and under the guns of the fort unseen, or seen too late to be cut off. It was a beautiful sight to behold the three vessels in motion, one small, unarmed, with but three sails to help her along in her flight, bounding along close under the shore; the others tall, frowning with batteries and covered with canvas from deck to truck. The sloop was a mile in-shore of the cruisers, and about three miles westward from the mouth of the river, being, when discovered just stealing round Caps Smallpoint. The cruisers stood on for about ten minutes after tacking, in the same converging lines, when the corvette signalized the brig, Which immediately luffed and bore up four points eastward, while the former kept her first course. The object had in view by this manoeuvre of the brig, it was plainly evident to the fisherman, who, from the rocks upon which their huts were perched, were watch- . stored the powder in casks and securely protected under canvas ; tarpaulins also covered the guns. "If we can only stand on ten minutes more, 'Siah," said the deacon to his mate, don't fear them two cruisers a bit. One "ofI them, you see., has luffed to try to cut us off. If 'twant for this plaguy heavy iron we've got in her, I'd show the enemy how to make a keel cut blue water through. But we must get in Lot," he added, turning to a ragged old man, who looked like a weather-beaten fisherman, who comprised all his crew, and who was now engaged in tending the main sheet, the slack of which he held in his iron fist. It's get in safely, deacon," answered Lot Bissell, gruffly, " and get three hundred dollars, or sink the sloop, and no insurance !" " That's a fact, Mr. Bissell," responded the Yankee skipper with emphasis ; and he glanced under the main boom to see how the fort and shore lay, and then hove his eyes to the windward and took a deliberate inspection of the enemy. «' Take a small pull on the main sheet, Mr. Bissell. 'Siah, haul aft the jib sheet a bit. The Britisher is smoking his pipe," added the skipper, quietly, as he saw n jet of smoke belch forth from the bow of the corvette. He had hardly got the words out of his mouth when the boom of a gun reached his ears, and simultaneously a shot passed whizzing over their heads. "I don't stand that 'are," said 'Siah, in a determined tone, which singularly contrasted with his awkward exterior. "Give me leave, deacon, and I'll give 'em a shot back." " Ease off the main sheet. Lot. Be ready to dodge, for I guess there'll be another of them chunks of iron this way. They hain't no pilot or they wouldn't keep so near Porpoise Rock Ledge." Cool and steady the skipper stood at his post and directed the course of his little craft. All at once he gave a loud hurrah. The corvette had struck upon a rock barely below water, known as Porpoise Ledge, and everything was taken aback, while her main royalmast went over the side. " That's for not taking a pilot on a strange coast," said the skipper, drily, while his keen littleeyes fairly glittered with pleasure, but he made no further demonstrations of joy ; but after taking a second glance at the vessel, and seeing that matters on board of her were in too much confusion for them to trouble themselves further about him, he now gave his whole attention to the brig, which was about a mite from him, and about an equal distance from the river. Upon seeing the accident that had happened to her consort, she bore down a little and hoisted a signal. It was responded to on board the corvette, when the brig resumeo her course. " The corvette, I suppose, says she don't want any aid. so the brig is left at liberty to look after us," said the skipper. " It looks, too, as if she would be likely to get to the entrance as soon as the Sally, and then I guess it's all up with us. But I don't give up so long as a timber hangs to her, or 1 can have a limb to hang on to the tiller by. But what in natur' are you doing there, Josiah f Well might he ask this question. The " �ambitious young man had brought from the forecastle a keg of powder, and knocked the head in with a handspike, and was now tying about half a peck of it up in a handkerchief which he had taken from his neck. " Doin' ! I'm goin' to give 'em a gun. If these here guns have got to go to Davy's first, I locker, I'll have one fire out of guess," replied Josiah. As 'Siah spoke, he threw down a moveable section of the bulwarks amidships, leav- ing an open space to the sea before the muzzles of three of the enormous cannon that lay across the deck. He then took up his huge cartridge, and thrusting it into the muzzle of one of them, began to ram it down with a handspike. " I guess if they got that shot it'll settle 'em," said 'Siah, as he dropped, feet first, off the rigging, and tried to see through the smoke. As the smoke slowly rolled away, the brig was discovered, no longer standing down, but knocking about at the mercy of wind and waves, her foremast gone by the board and dragging over her sides, with all its yards and sails. The shot had cut oft' the mast within two feet of the deck. 'Siah was perfectly confounded, but manifested no surprise, while the deacon and Lot set up a loud hurrah of triumph. " Why, what's the matter ? Why don't you hallo ?" said the deacon, taking breath. Coz it ain't nothing more'n 1 meant to " is the critter at ?" cried do," replied 'Siah, with inimitable sangfroid ; surprised, if you be, deacon."

Gen. Banks' View of the Treatment of Negroes. General Banks, in Congress, recently, told the following story : When I was younger than 1 am, in the State of New Hampshire, in the town of Nashua, where I obtained my education at a university with a belfry at the top and a wuter-wheel under the lower stories, [laughter,] looking out with my associates and fellow-students upon the smooth and glassy surface of the Merrimack River, that stream of perpetual beauty and perpetual life, we saw a colored boy, intimately known to us, upon the surface, engaged in the pleasant exercise of skating, for it was winter. While we looked upon the beautiful Merrimack, the little negro boy suddenly went in. You may never have seen a negro under such circumstances. We went down to him with all the speed possible. Going out to the middle of the river, we took up a plank and handed it to the negro, and he grasped it with as much alacrity as any one of them will take a ballot when we give it to him. Just as we had got it on the hole into which he had fallen, he fell oft' the plank and went in again* The second time he came up he wore an expression I shall never forget. You may never have seen a negro under such circumstances. He was speechless ; his emotions suppressed all rhetoric ; he did not indulge in any eloquence at all. He grasped the plank this time, not with alacrity, but with ferocity, and we brought him again to the surface. We thought he was a negro saved from the jaws of death; but off the little fellow slipped and went down. You may never have seen a negro under such circumstances. He addressed us a speech, and I never heard a speech that contained so much of touching eloquence as was embodied in that little negro's speech. " Please gib dis nigger dc wooden end of «lat board," You see the end we had given him was the Jcy end.

As before stated in. our columns, this gentleman is a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States. During the last four years he has been preaching in Virginia City, Nevada. His health having failed, he came to the islands to recruit, and we are happy to know that he returned almost entirely recovered.

This is a voluntary Society formed nmong the earnest and evangelical portion of that Church. Hereafter Mr. Rising's address will be No. 3 Bible House, New York.

During his sojourn here, he travelled quite extensively through tne group, visiting nearly every station occupied by (he American and French Missions, not omitting to make thorough inquiries respecting the Reformed Catholics and every literary, eleemosynary, Missionary and scientific Association upon the islands. His investigations have been most thorough, and he succeeded in collecting a mass of statistics and facts—historical and Missionary— such as has rarely been gathered by any visitor. Some of the officers of Government, Missionaries and others, have furnished him with many valuable books, pamphlets and other documents. We are not informed to what use the clerical gentleman will put the materials at his disposal, but of this we — Thb Story of the " Morning Star."

F. kindly offered to convey them to their homes in the Vincennes. Among other passengers of this class were Kuakini, (John Adams,) Governor of Hawaii, and Kapiolani, of Kaawaloa, on the same Island. Some time previous to this the Mission had appointed a deputation to visit Waimea, on Hawaii, to see if it were practicable to establish a Missionary station there, partly with a view to the recruit of health. Of this deputation I was one, and, by the invitation of the First Lieutenant, took passage from Lahaina in that ship. On the morning of the second day, being off Kailua, Hawaii, Governor Adams and suite were put ashore, and the ship passed on and anchored in the Bay of Kealakeakua, on the Kaawaloa side of which Kapiolani and her husband, Naihe, had their residence. The Vincennes lay at anchor in the bay some three or four days, and then returned to Honolulu. Waiting the arrival of the other members of the deputation to Waimea, I resided as a guest in the family of Kapiolani some two or three weeks. To all that Dr. Anderson says of the civilized habits, and refinement even, of that woman, I was all that time an eye-witness. I can say I never put up at any boarding-house where the arrangements of furniture, the furnishing of the table, the preparation of the food, the attention of servants, the dignity of the presiding matron were superior. Everything was neat and kept in order. I often wondered how a person so long under the influence of the degraded habits of heathenism, could, in so short a time, arrive at and adopt, not merely civilized habits, but a high degree of them, and entirely to have dropped her former ones; but such was the fact. We have seen, in a multitude of cases, the Chiefs and people forsake their habits peculiarly heathenish, but it has always been slow and difficult work fully i<> adopt civilized habits. Not so with Kapiolani. As soon as she began to attend to instruction at Honolulu, under the teaching of Mr. and Mrs. Bing. ham and Mr. and Mrs. Thurston, she became perseveringly interested ; her manners and intelligence at once commenced improvement, and what she gained she never lost. This continued nearly three years. On the location of the membersof the first reinforcement, she and her husband returned to.Hawaii, with Mr. and Mrs. Ely for their teachers, where she was taught more fully in relation to domestic habits. The last evening before the sailing of tho AUGUST, 1866. Vincennes from Kaawaloa, Capt. Finch and the wardroom officers were invited to take tea at Kapiolani's house. Mr. Bingham and Mr. Stewart retired early from the table, in order to prepare some documents for the Missionary House in Boston, and left me to act as the sole interpreter between the parties. Capt. F. had seen much of Kapiolani before, but always in company with other Chiefs. But now he was permitted to see her in her own house, and as she appeared in her own family. The Captain had a great variety of questions to ask about herself, the other Chiefs, their former state, the instruction of the Missionaries, Sec., &cc., to all of which she replied readily, pertinently and fully, at the same time doing the honors of the table. Some of the questions about herself were, " How long since she had learned to read and write ?" Whether she " went to school like a little child ?" kc. To this she replied, she and other Chiefs went to *he Missionaries and were taught by them to read and write ; for at that time regular schools were not formed. At the same time she called to a servant to bring a manuscript. It was a copy of the Gospel of St. John, in her own hand-writing. She said she received the sheets from Messrs. Thurston and Bishop, as they were translated, and she transcribed it herself for her own use, as she could not wait to have it printed. When she spoke of instruction, the Surgeon of the Vincennes began to put questions to her concerning Boston, London, New York, Europe and America, which she promptly answered. He then asked her where she learned these things. She said, Missionaries told me." The Surgeon " The turned to me and said, " I am very then glad to hear this, for at Honolulu we were told that the Missionaries taught nothing but religion." The evening passed with the highest degree of good feeling on both sides. Just before the Captain left, he took a seat beside me on the settee, a little apart from the others, and said': "Mr. Andrews, I never expected to have the slightest feeling on leaving these Islands; but, as I have seen this woman, heiird her conversation, observed her manners and especially noticed her religious principles, 1 cannot help admiring what I nave seen. I shall remember this tea-party as long as I live. I have no where in my visits to different countries seen any woman who reminds me so much of my mother as this. 1 shall shake hands with her with a sigh." To all this I know of no drawback. She ever continued her civilized habits, her generous, kind-hearted disposition, and especially her anxious desire for the intellectual, moral and religious improvement of the common people, until her death. Supplement for August.—We furnish our subscribers with another Supplement, containing the Sermon upon Home Missions. lately preached by the Rev. E. Bond. We would acknowledge late American papers from Capt. Hempstead, and also C. 69 rII X FKI ti M>, Kapiolani. The moral heroism displayed by this distinguished Hawaiian Chiefesa, in visiting Kiluuea, has imparted to her character an elevation and attractiveness which have impressed most favorably the minds of all acquainted with the circumstances. Her visit is no less remarkable than the abolition of the tabn system, The most earnest entreaties, by friend and foe, were put forth to dissuade her from incurring the wrath of the goddess Pcle, whn was supposed to preside over the boiling caldron, where, from time immemorial, her worshippers had brought their offerings and cast them into the flames. Standing near the active pit, and in presence of mnny of her people, she exclaimed : " Jehovah is my God. I fear not Pole. Should I perish by her anger, then you may fear her power. But if Jehovah save me, when breaking through the tabus, then you must fear and serve Jehovah. The gods of Hawaii are vain. Great is the goodness of Jehovah in sending us Missionaries to turn us from these vanities to the living God." Then all united in singing a hymn of praise, and bowed in prayer to the Jehovah. Lord Byron—cousin of the poet—commanding H. B. M. ship Blonde, (which brought the remains of Kamehameha II and his Queen from England to Honolulu,) thus refers to Kapiolani's heroic conduct: " One of the greatest acts of moral courage which hasv perhaps, ever been performed ; and the nctor was a woman, and, as we are pleased to call her, a savage." (Voyage of the Blonde, 1824, 1825.) The Rev. Dr. Anderson has graphically described this event in Kapiolnni's life, in the sketch of her life and character recently published in the Hours at Home." He " concludes that sketch with this paragraph : " The hand of God is to bo acknowledged in the consistent, Christian life, for twenty years, of this child of a degraded paganism. Hers was the religion of the Puritans, and would to God that all those Islanders, from the highest to the lowest, were like her. We should then behold a nearer approach to a heaven on earth than earth has afforded since the fall." Kapiolani died May 5,1841, at Kaawaloa, Hawaii, very near the spot where Captain Cook was killed. We copy the following poetic description of Kapiolani's visit to Kilauea from a poem published in London, in 1645, and written by the Rev. Robert Grant, B. C. L., Fellow of Winchester College, Sec., Sec.: I''air is the morn : tbe sun is mounting high, Cloudless as truth itself, the clear blue sky, As a vast mirror, in their ceaseless Bow .Seems to reflect the azure depths below. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1866. 70 What newer peril stops tbe dauntless band?

Opinions of Eminent Englishmen about New England. John Bright lately delivered an address before a Sunday School Conference in Rochdale, in which he urged the importance of universal education, citing the example of New England in support of bis views : Mr. Ellice, the very eminent member of the House of Commons for Coventry, traveled in America, as he had done tvvo or three times before, very near the close of his life, some six or seven years ago. He visited Canada and the United States; and, in a conversation which I had with him after his return, he said that in those New England States there was the most perfect government in the world, there was the most equal condition, and most universal comfort amongst the people; and he said that the whole population, he believed, were more instructed, more moral, and more truly happy than any other equal population had been in any country or in any age of the world. The whole of this is to be traced, not to the soil, not to the climate ; but it is to be traced, I believe to the extraordinary care which the population, from the days of the Pilgrim Fathers until now, have taken with every child, boy and girl, that they should be thoroughly instructed, at least in the common branches of learning. The census shows that, speaking generally, there is scarcely to be found one person, one native American certainly, out of many hundreds in the New England States, who cannot read and write. Now the influence of those States is enormous. Though only small States, containing not more than one-tenth of the whole population of the American Union, yet the influence of their opinions is felt to the remotest corners of that vast territory. In New England they consider their plan as the only plan. They have tried it for two hundred years. Its success is beyond all contest—it is absolutely complete. There is nothing like it that has been equally successful in the world. And what our Puritan ancestors have done (I know they were our ancestors as well as theirs) in the States, if the people of England had the sense to comprehend their true interests, they might compel to be done in the country in which we live. From the Ochotsk.—The cargo of codfish brought into this port on Saturday last, by the schooner Porpoise, Capt. Turner, is by far the finest ever yet received in this market from the Pacific Coast codfish banks. There are 30,000 fish in the cargo, and the consignees, Marks & Co., inform us that they are found to average fully one pound heavier than any former lot; and tbey come fresh to market within sixty days of their being taken from the water. So far as the Pacific Coast is concerned, the Newfoundland Fishery Question may be decided either way—it is a matter of indifference to us ; we are henceforth independent of the Atlantic sources of supply for this article.—Alta California, July 10. reply unconditional surrender is the only terms which the Pope can think of.—Exchange. We do not see the necessity of English clergymen asking the Romish Church to make* any concessions, for we should suppose they were going at a sufficiently rapid rate without any concessions. From another of our English exchanges we learn, on the authority of Henry Borne, M.

This is the title of a pamphlet of 04 pages, in which the writer argues that the High Church notions so strenuously put forth by some in the English and American Churches are altogether of a modern date. On page 31 he refers to Cranmer, Jewel, Kainolds and Usher, as men who, par excellence, have a right to be styled fathers, yet they held no such exclusive views. When referring to those who were instrumental in establishing the Episcopal Church in America, he represents them as holding the most liberal and fraternal opinions to. wards other denominations or Churches of Christians. On page 13 the author thus deals ;t heavy blow at his fellow-churchmen "In unchurching others, we simply follow in the wake of the early Puritans, who first, among Protestants, asserted the exclusive ecclesiastical claim by Divine right." This is a capital joke, to say the least. High Church Episcopalians following in the Puritans' wake! We knew that they had followed in the wake of the Puritan Missionary, but now we learn that in High Church notions they are equally inclined to copy the Puritan's example ! We hope Puritans will see well to it, that they always set a good example before their fellow-Christian Episcopalians. : Thw Murder of Mr. Dudoit.It is with deep sorrow that we are called upon to chronicle this melancholy event.

TSUPLOEMNT § übliotted lrg the pnw»iiatt HONOLULU, AUGUST, 18(5(>. A SERMON ON HOME MISSION'S. Delivered at Fort Street Church, on the Anniversary of the HAWAIIAN EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION, SABBATH EVENING, JUNE 10, 18GG. BY REV, E. BOND. : John 9 4.—" I must work the works of Him Unit sent 1110 while it is ilay." Jesus came from Heaven to redeem and save the human race. That was his " work." He did not, however, propose to accomplish the divinely assumed task by His own personal agency, whilst in the flesh. This He left for others. Having chosen and instructed n small band of disciples, and having, in them, set forth the germinant idea of the Christian Church, to them, as His earthly heirs, He committed the further prosecution of the work He came to do; promising, meantime, to be with them, even unto the end of the world, and then He returned, by the way of the Cros? and the Sepulchre, to His higher mediatorial work at the right hand of the Father. From that time to this the task which the Son of God assumed as His own peculiar work has been equally the work of His Militant Church j and to-night the language of the text is appropriate to every true disciple of Jesus, the world over. It 4s not, as you see, the mere expression of a simple desire or purpose, but the cordial acknowledgment of an imperative obligation. work." "ToI must this Society therefore, organized for effective service in behalf of the truth in its saving application to the population of these islands and aiming at tbe largest measure of such service, I present, as not unsuitable for brief consideration this evening, these two topics, furnished by our text, viz I I. The work to be done. •1. The; work to bk 11. How to do it. done. 1. Where is it ? The field is the entire group of these fair islands, on which, either permanently or for the time being, our lot has been cast. From Hawaii to Niihau, wherever lives a Hawaiian or a foreigner of any name or color, who is known to be in a state of spiritual destitution, for the supply of which no other means exist, there is found ready to our hand the legitimate work, to do which we, as a Society, exist. 2. What is it t In general terms it is, as just suggested, the evangelization of the spiritually needy portions of the population of these islands and the supply of their rcligiius necessities, by means of divine truth preached and otherwise disseminated, a service which the lapse of time is more and more imperatively demanding at our hands, and of the immediate and pressing necessity of which, those of us who occupy the more distant por- <£vMtflrtial §$jwriiitioii. 73 tions of the land are feeling with an ever-increasing painfulness of conviction. From all points the current sets in towards this central metropolis, over leaving on every side remnants of population sparsely scattered that prosimilar to and, of without an agency tracts territory; large vided for by this Society, as there already is, so there will inevitably continue to" be, a rapid retrogradation of these communities towards a barbarism as ruthless as that whence, by the grace of God, the nation has once been rescued. than There is no possibility of a result in any sense more cheering or through in duty fail, we a culpable supineness this, if either through a narrow selfishness in providing the requisite pecuniary and other means to meet the exigences of the present time and of the immediate future before us. But this is our appropriate work, and, by the favor of God, we would hope not to be found recreant thereto. Not only are we called upon to send, or aid in sending, to every feeble Hawaiian Church a pastor, and to every destitute community those who. will point them to the Lamb of God, but we would also see to it that the foreign comwunities here and there gathering upon tho islands—wherever desirous of the preached Word—are supplied therewith. And if possible, also, we would send the Word of Life into those social and spiritual graveyards, the plantations and other great enterprises scat-be tered over the islands, with the hope that its saving power might once more felt by some of those connected therewith, that some at least might again listen to the sweet and saving words of Jesus, which their fathers, when sitting in the thick night of heathenism, heard, and in simple faith receiving, awoke to a new and higher life in God. Whilst the small and rapidly-diminishing remnant of those Christian heroes in the Hawaiian Church is briefly tarrying beneath the droppings of the Sanctuary, and rejoicing in the Word of Salvation, preparatory to their final flight Heavenward, we would fain see to it that their children cry not hereafter to be rescued from the worse than heathenism which is seriously threatening them. But our work lies not solely in regions remote. In the name of God and by the power of His truth we should do something to save this metropolis from the condition, if not from the fate, of Sodom. It is indeed a task not to be lightly spoken of, nor yet to be undertaken with an undue confidence in human wisdom. Nevertheless, it is one with which we obviously need to grapple, if we would hope to achieve any enduring success in the other department of our labor; for, with this great central crater ever pouring its death-dealing streams abroad over the land, how as nothing in effect will be the sum total of our efforts therefor! It is scarcely an indication of profound wisdom to trim the twigs of the Upas, whilst leaving the huge trunk, with its giant branches, still to overshadow the country. Also, it is not to be forgotten in this brief enumeration of the work to be done, that we have a large and still increasing Asiatic element in our midst, of whose salvation there can scarcely be a ray of hope.unless it come through the agency of this Society. Foreign in every sense it is, save in this single one of domestication among us. Vicious, too, it is in«rharrcter, or, at best, heathen, and withal notoriously inaccessible to the moral and religious motives of the Gospel, as well as to the various agencies usually employed by those who would press these motives upon their consideration. Yet still the stubborn fact remains, that Christ has purchased them for His own, precisely as He has purchased .. • �74 SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND ourselves. And that other glorious fact, too—let us never forget it— Chinese and Hawaiian both, equally with those more highly favored, were among those irrevocably given to the Son for His everlasting inheritance. And can we do nothing for*these perishing strangers ? Shall we sit down contented with the thought that they have come to a land overspread with the blessings of Christianity merely to perish in their paganism f Shall the light in which we are dwelling serve but to ligbS t/tem to death ? Or is there some one or more yet to be found, whose hearts aglow with the love of Jesus, shall with our aid give them>elves to the blessed work of telling the simple story of the Cross to these benighted wanderers from their distant home ? Such is the brief and imperfect summary of the work to be done. It is not for me to say how much or how little of it our Sovereign Lord shall deign to honor this Society with accomplishing. It is enough to know that we are mainly to determine that point for ourselves, and moreover, the issue we are sure is to be wrought out only by prayerful, patient, self-denying toil. Scarcely an earthly crown adorns the brow ol royalty that has not been purchased with seas of blood and treasure untold. And why should we expect to wear the trophies of a victory, save as they too are won through our own unflinching devotion and self-sacrificing zeal, by the blood of God's dear Son ? We are not to be crowned unless we first strive. Nor is our Master to be honored through us if we fail to meet the issues now presented. The time has forever pone by when the disciples of Jesus could fold their hands and wait their Master's will. They have now to do it. The conflict is already upon us, and it never can be done save by a high and holy resolve in divine strength to " fight it out on this line." And this our Lord expects of us. 11. We now pass to inquire, How is this work to be done ? We effect our purposes by the use of means adequate thereto, and so does our Omnipotent God. True, the means which He uses, and which also He has provided and taught us to use, are not, by the ordinary calculations of human arithmetic, adequate to the results-proposed and actually accomplished. Bur then He has told us beforehand that His calculations are not as ours. The highest wisdom of man is foolishness with Him. By the foolishness of preaching we know He has actually determined to save them that believe. Just as in the Kingdom of Nature He delights to show us what stupenduous results He can effect by the most insignificant causes, so also in this Spiritual Kingdom. It is true, and we should never forget it, that the Kingdom of God among men has in its inception always been insignificant in its dimensions and apparent power. It is the still small voice, the stone cut out of the mountain without hands, the bit of leaven, the grain of mustard-seed. And yet, though so insignificant, it was and is to fill the whole earth. We aro inquiring now how it is to be made lo fill these islands, or rather how our part of the work which is to hasten the glorious consummation is to be done. What do we needfor this end f 1. We need a suitable organization, through whose agency our work can be efficiently and at the same time economically prosecuted. This, indeed, we already have ; and if it be not particularly imposing at present in the magnificence of its proportions, we find comfort in the thought that it is capable of indefinite enlargement and increase of working power, limited, in these particulars, only by the gifts and purposes of its patrons. Besides, we cannot forget that the vast organizations for Missionary purposes, both in Europe and America, have each and all passed through this period of infancy, and have attained thiir present vastness and efficiency for good through the large-hearted liberality and prayerful zeal of those who make them the channels of their beneficence for enlightening and saving men. If therefore, with the machinery already to our hands, and in actual operation, those who are in sympathy with us will but give what is further needed for bringing the Society up to its full working capacity, the problem with which we have to do is solved. Our work is ns good as done. It is not to be supposed, however, for a moment, that the most skilfully adjusted organization gives us in itself any new forces. It has no creative energy in this direction, nor should we rely upon it as though it hurl. Associated action simply affords us, in another and more convenient form, the forces already existing ; and in our estimate of available means, for present or future use, the unit of calculation must ever be, not the organization, but the individual therein. And the aggregate of the individual capacity for executive labor, or pecuniary givrhg, or spiritual power, gives you the sum total of the means placed at your disposal—neither mote nor less—by the perfected organization. •That mischievous idea, floating illy-defined in the minds of many, that a Society, like this has in some way a sort of inherent vitality and power of indefinite onward working, should be forever discarded by all the true friends of God and humanity ; for it need not be said that a false conception like this can work nothing but injury to the individual, as well as disaster to the Society, and to the cau-se for the furtherance of which it exists. A correct, truthful idea of such an Association as this, is rather that by its entire helplessness, aside from our individual agenty, it becomes a new and perpetual incentive to a more abounding zeal and more faithful labor, rather, in behalf of our fellow-men, through its good offices. But we have other wants not provided for, for the full success of our undertaking. 2. We need money. We have some, but the amount is painfully small. We need more, that is, if we would be classed among the live progressive agencies of the time—as wide awake, both to the claims of humanity and to those of God. Located as this Society is, in the midst of a foreign community noted for generous giving, and to a large extent certainly not hostile to the objects at which it aims, it has ever seemed to me that it has not yet felt impelled by a true inward conviction to that large-hearted, practical recognition of its indebtedness to this wasting people which duty demands at its hands, and which it has been wont to recognize in other channels of well-doing. That the indebtedness of which I speak is not a mere figment of fancy, but exists as a sober fact, and rests with an imperative responsibility upon each and every one of us residing in these islands who bears the foreign name, I would fain believe is a truth honestly accepted by each of those now before me. ■ Coming hither from other and mare enlightened lands, we come inevitably as representatives of those lands. A higher civilization and a more ndvanced Christianity are, willingly or unwillingly, impersonated in us, worthily or unworthily, as the case may be. And, whilst claiming for ourselves a superiority in those respects, which is readily conceded, we surely cannot desire, selfishly and stingily, to monopolize the blessings of our nobler birthright! The goodly lands we represent are known and read of all men, not only as opening wide their arms to receive the oppressed and degraded of every name, but also as generously employed in sen-ling abroad to every race the free offer of the choicest privileges, social and religious, which they themselves possess. And shall we, who have come to dwell among this kind-hearted people, aim to do less than that ? Whilst we freely receive of theirs, shall we parsimoniously hesitate to bestow upon them in return our better gifts ? If, by the blessing of_God, we have a richer inheritance than. Hawaiians, as we would answer for it in the final day, let us make them, so far as we may, by liberal pecuniary offerings, as well as by individual example and by positive and persistent effort, partakers with ourselves in this richer inheritance. By the love of our common Father, by the redemption of our common Lord, we are bound to seek the peace and prosperity of those among whom we dwell, and to do it, moreover, in no stinted measure, but liberally, generously, as God has dealt with us and ours. And who can doubt that, even on lower grounds than these, we are bound thus to contribute to the well-being of a people through whose aid we come to accumulate stores of wealth ? Even as a matter of shrewd business policy it should be done. " Give alms of such things as ye have and behold all things are clean unto you," is one of those simple yet far-reaching utterances of Jesus which are read, but which few, in its intimate practical application, trouble themselves to comprehend. Its meaning is nevertheless plain. If one would secure the favor of God upon his business enterprises, let him give, in due proportion to his gains, to the needy on every side of him. This is an offering acceptable to God. And wherever it is liberally provided for in the adjustment of one's business plans, directed by ordinary soundness of judgment, by the general consent of those of large experience, pecuniary disaster is rarely known to fall. And, had 1 the persuasive eloquence of an angel, and were thus able to induce those who hear me to make in their business arrangements a generous provision for the highest welfare of this people, with whom our lot has been cast, through this and kindred organizations, I am sure that, as the principles of God's providential government are sound, there would thereby be introduced into the condnct of their affairs a large and positive element of permanent success. But I remark 3. We need more earnest workers. These are essential prerequisites to earnest work. Ido not now refer to those specifically set apart to the service of the Society, but to others ; for in every Christian community there are always found those outside of the official pale who are the most persistent and effective workers — �SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND . 75 = a there both for God and man. #Let us fix it in our minds, as a settled truth, j not only that these demands are felt, but that in many bosom the high and holy purpose to meet them in that the Hawaiian people is not to be saved by the single item of Mis- j has already been formed we must come, or these souls about sionary effort, distinctively such.

It is this faith only, grounded upon the divine promises, and the Holy Spirit Shepherd for shelter and care. The bare recognition of the necessities of a people, or the periodical made effectjal through a genuine sympathy with this people, that will bestowment of a contribution, or even personal service for their benefit, now give us success in the work, which in the name and strength of without the genuine sympathy that moves and opens hearts, is of little God, we have upon our hands. We need, too, just now, an obstinate practical avail. What we need is the capacity for becoming all things pertinacity of faith, that will not yield the day, or for a moment indulge to all men, and so show the world that we practically hold to the true tbe thought of giving over the remnant of the Hawaiian nation to the This power of hell.

This alone is the spirit of Jesus. self-denying, pains-taking purpose, working out through the law of where in this sin-cursed world. The conditions of life and character Christian love, this alone, achieves miracles in penetrating the hardest are everywhere the same, and the same tried and trusty weapon with hearts and reforming the most hopelessly degraded lives. And this, which those before us have wrought exploits for the truth, even the too, is the very thing which the exigences of the present demand at our Gospel of God's crucified Son, we, also, still wield, or may wield for the salvation of the Hawaiian race; and shame on us if from »ny causa hands. Shall this demand be met ? We may at least thank God that on every side there are indications, we fail to achieve victory therewith 1 at—a Leader: < �76 SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND. — And this brings me to mention, as another of our wants 6. A more specific and positive faith in God, and in divine truth as the single instrument of human salvation. Not that human eloquence, learning and skill are to be rejected, provided, always, that as subordinates, they can be made to hold up everywhere and always the only name under Heaven whereby they can be saved." Still, it is not to be denied that, as a saving agency, the wisdom of the world is "foolishness" with God. And the great Apostle counts it all as dung, that he may, for himself and for others, win Christ and be found in Him. He gloried in but one single thing. That was in the vicarious sacrifice of the Cross. Putting all else beneath his feet, he concentrated the entire forces of his being to this dVie resolute purpose, of proclaiming the crucified and risen Jesus as the one only sacrifice for nil the spiritual maladies of our race. He knew, indeed, that "to the Jews it was a stumbling-block and to the Greeks foolishness." Yet by this very foolishness of " preaching" he also knew it pleased God to save them that believe. Thus " knowing in whom he belived," and assured that the " foolishness of God was wiser than men," we see how it was lhat he determined, even among the highly-cultivated and fastidious Corinthians, to know nothing save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He could not dally upon outside considerations, but opened up at once the power and glory of the Gospel, in its individual application to the hearts of men. And now it is just this resolute faith of the Apostle in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as the sole specific for nil human necessities, that we need today, to fire anew our zeal and give assurance of the coming victory. Let it be. therefore, our glory, as it was His, to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified for the salvation of men. Tell us not of imposing rites or a pompous ceremonial, neiiher of salvation flowing from consecrated finger-ends, nor yet of priestly offices, which, shutting out the broad and blessed Sun of Revelation, would stupidly send us to God by candle-light. Away with tlifoe borrowed baubles of heathenism ! Give us a pure Christianity, and in beautiful apostolic simplicity let us point this people to the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. And let it be our constant joy to know that one of ihe crifwning glories of the Gospel which we lubor to bestow upon this people is out and out individuality. For the mere accidents of human character it has no partiality. It knows nothing of authoratative monopolies through whose officious agency alone its grace may be vouchsafed to the spiritually needy; nor with aggjegations of men has it anything to do. To corporations or organizations it has not one word to say, save, indeed, as they may be the proper and healthful outgrowth of individual men. To the man it speaks directly—to the individual man. Abject and despised he may be, morally corrupt and undone he certainly is ; nevertheless he is a child of God, and by the sign manual of Heaven he has in reversion a celestial- birthright. A Lazarus in rags, repulsive to sight, he may be now, and thankful for the kindly sympathy and companionship of dogs, but to-morrow's sun shall find him entered upon his promised inheritance, a child of glory reposing in Abraham's bosom. This, I repeat, is one of the crowning glories of the Gospel, and with what fixedness of hope and faith should it not inspire us! By divine authority we .iffer its weal'.h of blessing directly to the living soul, and upon that soul also we lay its solemn and weighty responsibilities. It is what he needs, for it is his Father's provision for its extremest necessities. With his political relations it may not, perhaps, directly meddle, nor with his social standing. It is enough that he was made in the image of his Creator; enough that, as such, he is a subject of God's moral government. For him, as such, the Cross on Calvary was reared. For him attoning blood was shed. To him comes the offer of life or death, and, as the steward of this manifold grace of God, naked and alone shall he come at length to the final Judgment Seat. Divide this heirship to the bounteous pifts and responsibilities of the Gospel you cannot, neither the one nor the other. Each individual of the rose if personally heir to the whole. No Church can interdict it, no priest circumscribe it, no Bishop lay his finger" upon it. Such is the Gospel committed to us ; such its relations and dealings with man. Outside of it there are no motives that can touch the conscience, or savingly affect the life, spiritual or material. THts can ; and we should never forget it. It is well to recur often to what it has done, that sight as well as faith may be assured and stagger not at the promise of what it i» surely to do. Think of that first quarter of a century after Jesus hung upon the Cross! Run your eye over the Epistles. Romans, Corinthians, Gallatians, Ephesiane, Phillipians, Colossians, Thessalonvans A marvelous catalogue ! They indicate to us, in the briefest '""J*' not R WO W by some proud earthly monarch, but by the simple story of the Cross- I'and that, too, against the com- " k°k * bined powers of civil and religious despotism, of earth and hell. Again, tune your thoughts to the conquests of the truth within the present century. Time would fail us even to run through the catalogue of territories and peoples won for Christ, both from Popery and from Paganism, on continent and on island. And it is worthy of remark, in passing, that not one trophy thus won for Christ has again reverted to the foe. Recall, too, in this connection, what the Gospel has done for these islands. We are sometimes inclined to underrate the magnitude of the work actually accomplished. In this we are wrong. When our foes exultingly tell us that a fox running upon the, wall which the Gospel has erected among the Hawaiian people would weak it down, it is not perhaps surprising that, for the moment, in the midst of great discouragements, too, we are half inclined to believe them. But is it so ? Point to whatever valuable institutions or conditions of life you will, now existing among us, civil, social, religious or political, and every particular one of them has something more than a poor dumb mouth with which to speak for our Immanuel and the power of His Cross. It is both well and wise to strengthen our faith by this survey. We have need thus to be prepared for what the immediate future is yet to reveal to us, and need also to assure ourselves that the sword of the Lord and of Gideon is yet in our hands. And with this trusty weapon, in the Name of Names, the Church of God on these fair islands shall yet cut her way to victory through all her gathered foes. But I hasten to the last of our wants which time will allow to be named, viz : 6. A more practical Christianity. In other words, a Christianity embodied in the every-day man, and not simply in the sleek and pious church-goer on the Sabbath. Our religion is too ethereal and delicate to bear the coarse scrutiny and test of this ordinary business life of ours. We need something with more tangible substance to it; something that can better "rough it" in the world. No mere theory of Christianity, apart from its actual adaptedness to the common necessities of life, is for us worth a moment's thought. That which solely attracts our interest to-night is Religion as a reforming and saving agency, both in its actual performance and in its known capacity for effective work among men. It matters little to us, even though its indicated capacity as a system be infinite, so long as its actual working is partial and imperfect. The skilful engineer is never satisfied until he can work up his engine to its given capacity ; and if he gets but half the indicated power therefrom, he is sure that there is a defective working of it. And so we, in working the system of means which God has given for reforming and saving men, whilst painfully conscious of the imperfect results actually attained, are sure that our working of the system is defective. Now, it is manifestly absurd in us to expect to accomplish the vast work which we have in hand, with forces so painfully inadequate as we find them. The children of this world exhibit no such stupidity; why should the children of light ? Is it written in the book or God's decrees that the former shall be wiser in their generation than the latter? Or is this the mere statement of a humiliating fact, whose existence is conditioned upon no fixed necessity, but simply upon a defective spiritual economy, persistently believed in and pushed laboriously on to its meagre results ? Can we doubt which ? And we know, too, where the great defect lies. Give us, therefore, not a new religion —we are right there—hii* a new system of spiritual economy, vitalized by the fresh element of power to be found in the honest application of Christianity to the ordinary business oflife. We are told that the results of forty-five years of Christian toil among this people are not commensurate with their cost in treasure and human energies ; and, vast as these results are, I am far from disputing the allegation. Considering the large numbers, in every department of life, who have borne the Christian name, and still bear it, in these islands, the results are indeed unsatisfactory, and it is by no means difficult to tell why. Our religion, instead of occupying its rightful position as the controlling power in the conduct of life, has been made far too generally to dance attendance upon our worldly interests; and so accustomed have we become -to this method of Christian life, that not only the world—the outside sinners—but many even of the baptised children of the Kingdom have come to accept it as an established truth that worldly business cannot be successfully conducted if under the control ofreligion ! And this is precisely the debasing idea that is now being diffused throughout the native community, viz, that there can be no joint agency of the Divine with the ea'rrhly principle in conducting the every-day affairs of life ! as though religion were a Utopian scheme and the Bible �77 SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND. . ! And so, when one takes to business a book of impracticable precepts of any sort, he feels that he follows high precedents in eschewing the to be Divine law as his guiding light, and following what he supposesfervent in business, Not slothful and better judgment. his own wiser " in spirit, serving the Lord," is to him, as to others, an unmeaning in- congruity. Now, can any people ever be Christianized on grounds so low ana unworthy as these ? I do not ask if they can be brought into the Church thereby, for they may be, as others have been, both in this and other lands. But we do not hold to baptismal regeneration. Heathenism baptised is heathenism still, and baptised worldliness ii, worldliness still, call it by what name you please. But this people have long since been able to comprehend the discrepancy that exists everywhere among them between the religion of the Bible, as read and as preached to them, and that which is thus pracWith their religious teachers, they approve the former and acknowledge, as readily as we do, its divine excellence, whilst, as human nature is, they naturally and almost inevitably content themselves with practising the latter, and think they do a< well as their employers and acknowledged superiors. And is this to be disputed ? We cannot now stop to speak of the domestic and more private relaIslands if tions which we hold to Hawaiians; but look abroad over the our the of management great if, fairness in say, and all in you will, plantations, for example, and other important enterprises which absorb is practical Christianity and control all the native labor available, theremake the faintest appreenough—l will not say humanity enough—to ciable show. I mean, of course, as seen by Hawaiian and other em- tised.' .... ployes. Let us not deceive ourselves. Hawaiians are not slow in estimating the sort of Christianity that simply treats them as beasts of burden, without the slightest actual provision for their wants as immortal beings. A Christianity that works them incessantly for six days of the week not to say more, even, than that—and then turns them adrift on Again, I repeat, a new religious life is what we perishinglv need ; and everythat, conscious of the abiding presence of Jesus, shall always themselves, where stand up for Him. And, whilst art and science gird as now, for the conquest of the material world, is Religion, which alone gives beauty and significance to both, with careless mien and folded arms to sit idly by ? Has she, too, no conquests to win for Him whose name she bears? No trophies for Christ! And this, too, in the year when expectation stands on tiptae, and faith beholds the raillenial dawn already streaking the hill-tops with coming glory ! It cannot, surely, be! It must not be ! The Master says it. Our faith and love both forbid it. We must work the work of Him that sent us whilst it is day ! And how sqlemn as eternity are the motives which urge us onward to our work, to a quickened zeal and a stronger faith—to a new and higher religious life in and for our adorable Lord ! The time is short. Soon our work will have come to an end, and the grave will have closed over us forever. Forever, did I say? No. Christ is the Resurrection and the Life. In Him toiling and not faint, in Him trusting and not ashamed—yet a little while and He will come and take us to our waiting thrones on high ; and—cheering, glorious thought—not us only. Multitudes of these despised ones for whom He died and we toil, shall, through atoning grace, there reign with us too; and together we shall sing, in sweetest harmony, the Song of Moses and the Lamb.

One marked feature which is to be noticed in the native Hawaiian Churches, is that the officers—those who constitute the Executive Board of the Church—are generally old men, past the energetic period of life; that the majority of them are upwards of fifty years of age, while rarely can a single church officer be found under thirty.five years of age. In those Churches whose pastorate has lately been filled by young men, it is thought all the more necessary that the faithful and triedremaining Christians of the past generation, the earlier and first fruits of the Gospel seed sown in this land, should mostly guard the ark of God. -A want of confidence in them seems in a great measure to have prevented the younger men too generally from securing personal responsibility or charge in the perpetuation of the Christian �80 SUPPLEMENT TO THE FRIEND. institution", of the land. The results of this lack of confidence are twofold. First, that young men, business) men, the men of to-day, are neither found managing the affairs of the Churches, as officers, nor willing to take part in aotivo Church operations; and, secondly, timt but few of them are fitted to take such charge. % The attention of Pastors should, we think, bo called to this fact, and they should be recommended to make special efforts to induce the younger men of promise and of Christian character to take part in the work and to encourage them to come forward and assume their share of responsibility in the various Christian enterprise. Here, as elsewhere, the harvest is abundant borers are few. The study ofevery Pastor should be to influence all tpable to enlist as reapers of this harvest. corned by young and old, as a subscription list of noarly four thousand names clearly proves.

These Associations superintend the Churches under their cure, attend to cases of discipline brought before them, establish new Churches, ordain and set over them Pastors.

The standard of character required for the work, so that we may furnish Preachers ana Pastors for the destitute by the Churches of the native ministry is much higher than it was a few years Churches of these Islands, and also laborers for the various Missions of this since ; thus indicating an advance in the intellectual and Christian character ocean. of tho individual church-member and church-goer.

Mindful that several parishes are now destitute of Pastors, and in view of tbe changes that will be effected by time, we regret to see so few of tho young men looking forward to the ministry; and we would invite the attention of the friends of Zion to the duty of setting before the minds of young men of promise and of Christian character tho claims, tho honors and rewards of this nigh calling, as well as the sacred responsibility of tbe office. So far as we know, no one of those young Hawaiians who have enjoyed the high advantages of English education afforded by the College und tbe High School (the Royal School) of this city, are looking forward to the ministry, though the rapid increase of English speaking residents in every parish of the Inlands loudly calls for those who understand both tho English and Hawaiian languages to occupy all posts of usefulness.

There ore four Female Boarding Schools, under the auspices of our Evangelical Association, or our faith, embracing one hundred and Jforty-four pupils. These Schools are at Koloa, on Kauai, Waialua and Makiki on Oahu, and Miikawuo on Maui. Other Hawaiian girls are trained in the various families of foreigners, mostly Missionaries, of the Islands, and these we think will number some twenty or more. We exhort those friends who have girls of suitable age to send them to a Female Boarding School of their own faith, believing it not consistent to send them to Schools of other religious persuasions, us some parents have done. Onr Warfare. From the signs of the times, it is very clear that there is to be a warfare, These are receiving, in many places, more attention than heretofore. They are, to our view, a most indispensable agency for leading all classes to seek from this time onwards, between darkness and light. The enemies of the pure Gospel of Christ are cunning, skilful, and ever vigilant in striving to turn men and know the truth as it is in Christ. If we have the ytffng we have all. Evidence is most abundant to establish the fact that the study of the Bible from the Bide of truth to that of darkness and error.

The Earl of Shaftsbury's Opinion of American Missionaries. The Bishop of Oxford and the Earl of Shaftsbury differ essentially in their opinions respecting the American Missionaries. The former describes them as " stern, sour, vinegar-like, narrow-minded, uneducated Puritans," while the latter lately remarked that he had -'always regarded the American Missionary as a remarkable man. He is calm and collected, uniting with zeal, enthusiasm without rhapsody, and combining in the most wonderful manner, piety and common sense. This is the characteristic of all the American Missionaries. They have laid the foundations so sure, that if the superstructure of Christianity is ever to be erected in the East, it will be on the foundation laid by them." Missionary operations in the East, or Turkish Empire, during the last quarter of a century, or more properly speaking last half century, have taken a singular and remarkable tur». About the year 1819 the American Missionaries —Parsons and Fisk—went to Palestine and other parts of the East on a tour of exploration. They have been followed by successive companies of Missionaries including some whose names rank high among scholars and divines. Their operations have extended to various parts of the Turkish Empire, and among those who adhered to the ancient forms of Christianity. SEPTEMBER 1, 1866.

We have before us a letter which we received from this sailor after his return to New York. .He is now employed by the friends of seamen in New York, to labor as a Lay Missionary in that port. When he visited Honolulu in 1855, he was indeed a " wandering sailor," but appears to have been led soon after to seek the way of life and salvation. THE WANDERING SAILOR BROUGHT HOME TO GOD. A Narrative by Bev. Chales Whitehead. John B was born in 1819, in Killarney, Ireland. His father, who died in 1847, was a man of piety.

Let us behold him as the profane and vulgar inebriate, giving vent to grace of God met him in his wanderings; coarse and filthy discourse, now uttering the counsels were given to this dear son, and many fervent prayers mingled with tears were poured forth in his behalf; and though that loving parent did not live to witness the return of his wandering child to the fold of Christ, yet in God's own time he was reclaimed, sanctified, and made a vessel of mercy. Alter the death nf his mother in 1837, John, then in his eighteenth year, joined the English army, and sailing for India, was stationed at Madras. Now opened before him a bright prospect, with every opportunity, he thought, of acquiring distinction and honor. With an active, intelligent mind, and pleasant address, he had the ability, by self-discipline and fidelity in duty, to secure the confidence of his superiors, and gain the reputation of an accomplished soldier. But alas,all his prospects were blighted by yielding to the vice of intemperance. Acquiring a fondness for intoxicating drink, he fell a victim to that dire enemy who has slain thousands of strong men, and thus foolishly threw away all the advantages that were placed within his reach ; and although he remained upwards of twelve years in the army, yet he was unable to retain any position of honor which he at different periods by good conduct acquired. At one time he was promoted to the office of adjutant's clerk. On several occasions he was rewarded for his soldierly deportment, obedience to orders, and punctuality in duty, by being promoted; but he was always reduced again to the ranks, in consequence of drunkenness. In JB4O, while on the coast of Malabar, he became depressed in mind. He of home, and the enjoyments of the parental roof, and felt so troubled at having forsaken his native land, and exposed himself to the hardships of a soldier's life, that he plunged more deeply into the habit of drinking, hoping to drown hia sorrow in the inebriating bowl. His condition waa such that he had to be removed to the hospital, and was confined there for weeks a wretched and helpless inebriate. After coming out, his reflections were so painful, and his rumorse of conscience so bitter, that he thought death and brought him back to his Father's house. would be better than life, and determined to In 1855 he was invalided, transferred to destroy himself.

Oh that they had known the feelings of my heart towards them at that time in the fervor of my first love, they would never have persecuted me as they did; but the more they pointed at me the finger of scorn, the more closely I clung to my beloved Saviour; and while I stood a lone witness to his power on earth to forgive sin, my soul was filled with heavenly joy nnd peace. For many weeks I was called a fanatic, declared to be crazy, and they said they would knock religion out of me. One night my hamrlock was cut down, and I fell severely hurt, I was on the deck, enabled to pray, Father, forgive the poor soul that was tempted by Satan to such an act. While I live I shall never forget that hour. As I lay on the deck I thought I could not be more happy in the body and live.'' These trials were met with Christian meekness and forbearance, and gave occasion for the exhibition of the reality of his piety. Ho returned good for evil, and the more earnestly prayed for those who sought to injure him. They discovered that persecution could not quench the flame of affection that burned in his soul both towards Christ and towards them. So uniform and persistent was his kind treatment and gentle demeanor, that ere long they began to cease their opposition, and become his warm friends. His mild and benevolent temper, accompanied with efforts to promote their spiritual welfare, were like coals of fire to soften and melt their hearts into love, and he soon realized the truth of the promise, " When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh his enemies to be at peace with him." Having now gained their friendly feeling, he was able to speak to them of their own salvation. On a certain occasion he induced several of them to hear his experience. In the fear of God he related what had been •his previous chan-cter, and how the Lord had brought him" to give his heart to the Saviour, and opened***to him new joy, and " now," said he, ."shipmates, I aw a Christian.

" Repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ,"he earnestly pressed upon their consciences, and entreated them not to delay a duty essential to their eternal salvation.

Soon we were in prayer together; and after some days of sorrow and anguish, the Lord removed the burden of guilt from his soul. I never saw so happy a young man. For a season he had to endure the scoffs of his old companions, but none of these things moved him. He took up his cross with me, and Oh the happy hours we spent together alongside of one of the guns, or under the bow of the launch, where he first taught me to sing, safely moored, perils o'er, "' Nnw I'll sin|£, first in night's illinium. my For ever snrl fur evermore.

In every part of the country, he records, the people were awakened to a sense of their danger as sinners ; and with other servants of God anxious for the promotion of His kingdom, he traveled from town to town, holding meetings, visiting from house to house—'• the Lord being with us, owning and blessing .his truth, and giving his poor servants great joy in seeing sinners brought to Christ." After a stay of four months, and seeing many young men raised up to labor in Ireland, a field now ripe for the harvest, our friend returned to New York to labor in his favorite field among the seamen. He then vistied California with the view of seeing some dear relatives, from whom he had been separated many years, and telling them what great things God had done for him. While in San Francisco he labored in connection with the Mariners' church, where he "was much blessed, and learned much of the goodness of God." After about a year he came again to New York, and was reinstated in his old position in connection with the floating church for seamen, sustained by the same Christian friends who before cooperated with him in this blessed work. His own experience taught him to pity his fellow-seamen, for he knew their dangers, their hardships, nnd their temptations, and he knew that religion And wai their only protection and comfort. his experience taught him not to be discouraged in laboring for their good by any depravity or vicious habit or hardened impenitence that might mark their character, for he was once himself a poor abandoned prodigal, without God, and without hope, and the same grace that saved him could save them. Gratitude and love to Christ for unmerited mercy constrained him to seek the salvation of their precious souls alike ready to perish, and with warm benevolence he longed to communicate the joy that filled his own was discharged from the navy, and went to board at the Sailor's Home in Cherry-street, where daily in his own room he had the sons of tlie ocean to converse and pray with ; and " blessed be God," he gratefully remarks, my weakness and ignorance he blessed "mein there in my humble efforts ; and when the adorable Saviour makes up his jewels, many a dear sailor will look back with delight to that little room, and-exclaim, I was heart.

Here is a sailor who in the most unfavorable circumstances reformed, and became a man of fervent piety.

We copy from the Advertiser lhe notice of Mr. ! Roger's death, nt Hilo. It was not our privilege to have formed his acquaintance, i although we may have met him. As he has passed " the bourne whence no traveler returns," it may not be amiss to record a most pleasing incident in his life. May others go and do likewise. Some months ago this young man came out as a passenger in one of the Boston Packets. Soon after the vessel arrived the master called our attention to his colored cook, remarking—" I believe the man has become a changed person." We were somewhat surprised at the Captain's remarks, for shipmasters are not wont to think much of the piety of their colored cooks! It was not long before we chanced to meet the cook of the , and Irom him learned the following facts. During the long passage of the vessel around the Cape this young man, being the only passenger, was accustomed in cold weather to visit the Ritualist Controversy in England.—In cook's quarters, who appears to have been the Record for May 2d, we find a notice terribly profane. At length the young man of the Ritualistic controversy in England, as succeeded in checking the cook's volley of publicly discussed by the Rev. J.

Gospel. the Death of the Martyr of Erromanga. Bishop Selwyn, of New Zealand, stated in his address, on the 19th of April, that the Rev. John Williams' death Was in revenge for barbarities which English sandal wood traders had inflicted upon the islanders. These are his words : " The island abounded with sandal wood. Many of our traders passed their lives in providing supplies of that wood to be burned before idols in the Chinese Jess Houses. The island of Erromanga wus a special object of desire to our traders. Their first idea was to take it by force, and that was the cause of the death of John Williams. Those traders went to the island, having enlisted into their service natives who understood firearms better than the natives of Erromanga. They fired at the people, drove them away und took possession of the place. The man who killed Williams, nnd to whom Mr. Gordon introduced me, accounted fof it in this way : U e said—■ those white men came and killed my relation.' (I think Mr. Gordon told me it was his father.) I made a vow to kill the firs, white man I saw.' That man happened to be John ' Williams, so he paid the penalty of the bad deeds of others oT our countrymen who had gone before him." Melancholy Death.—We learn from Mr. Emmes, of the firm of Emmes k Pfluger, of this city, that his brother, Mr. Henry Wm. Emmes, was probably drowned on his passage across the Isthmus of Panama, about the lOih of March last. The young man, about 21 years of age, had been spending a few years in the shipyards of Boston, ieaniw the trade o/a shipwright. Having most onorably completed his time, he was on bin way to the islands, with fond hopes of soon meeting his friends. It appears that while crossing, by the Nicaragua route, a passenger fell overboard. Young Emmes, urged forward by the strong impulse to save a fellow being from drowning, was himself drowned. We do not learn ns his body was ever recovered. We well remember the young man, nnd do most truly sympathize with his afflicted friends. Newspapers in Boston are requested to copy the above.

SEPTEMBER, I 8 6 tij Hawaiian Idol.—A genuine idol, of the olden time, has recently been discovered at Waialua, Oahu, by Mr. Lane. Through the permission of His Excellency ex-Governor Kekuanaoa, this idol has been presented to the Museum of Oahu College. It is about eight feet in length, and resembles the ancient images represented in Jarvis' History. Mr. Chase has had this idol sketched by Mr. Emmert, and very soon phdtographs will be on exhibition. Many hundreds of Hawaiians have gathered to see this huge image while it was set up in front i>f the Kuokon. office, at the Sailors' Home, Honolulu. So very rare are these specimens of ancient idolatry that but very few of the present generation of Hawaiians ever saw one. This one was found in a taro patch or fish pond, where it was doubtless cast when the idols were destroyed in 1819. One old native woman informed us, while gazing at the image, that Mr. Lane would get no more fish from his fish pond because he has shown such ipdigr.ity to -this idol! Reader, do not be surprised at this woman's thought.

It is a most interesting and instructive publication to any one desirous of being kept informed in regard to the Writings and efforts of literary men throughout the world. In glancing over the late numbers, we have met with some items of interest to our readers: In 1565 a portion of Shakspeare was translated and printed at Bombay, India, in the Gujarati dialect. The Rev. W. A. P. Martin, D. D., an American Missionary, at Pekin, China, has recently completed a translation into Chinese of Wheaton's Treatise on International Law. This work has been published also in Japan, by the Japanese. The Rev. Dr. Legge, Missionary of the London Missionary Society, is now publishing a translation, at Hongkong, of the celebrated Chinese classics, so noted in the literature of that Empire. The whole fifteen books of Euclid have just been republished in China, under the superintendence of Tsang Kwo-fan, Viceroy of Keang-sov. Lee, the Governor of Nanking, is just about to publish Whewell's Treatise on Mechanics," it having been translated by the Rev. J. Edkins, of the London Missionary Society. The enormous extent of books and treatises published at Pekin, in Mongol, Tibetan and other languages, can scarcely be imagined.

Buddhist and Christian Education, in Ceylon.— The controversy between the Buddhists nnd Christians in Ceylon continues to. excite great intereet throughout the island. It is now stated that Buddhist schools are to be commenced to save the children of Buddhists from being spoiled in Christian schools. There was never such excitement among Buddhists as at the present moment concerning their religion. Missionary Literature in China.—The Missionaries in Canton have established a weekly paper for the people, in Chinese, at the trifling cost of two cash per copy. It is called The Chinese and Foreign Weekly Newspaper. English civilization is beginning to make progress in China in a way very similar to its course in India. The Futai of Shanghae pays an American Missionary £500 a year to teach several Chinese youths English; and an English school has been opened for the same purpose nt Pekin, at the cost of the imperial authorities. The Rev. O. Gibson, of the Methodist Episcopal Mission in Fuhchau, has translated a School Arithmetic into Chinese, using the Arabic numerals instead of the Chinese. He has also translated and issued the Gospel of St. Matthew into Chinese. The Rev. Dr. F. Mason, an American Baptist Missionnry, publishes, in the Karen dialect, Burmah, the newspaper called the Pali Star. Trubner announces in the April number of this periodical that Bancroft, the historian, is about to issue the ninth volume of his history. , A Comparative Vocabulary of the Chinese, Corenn, ond Aino languages is about to be published in Paris by Professor Leon dc Rosny. This curious pnmphlet, printed, with the characters peculiar to the ihree above-named languages, is edited for the friends of the author only, nnd will not be accessible to the trade. Work on the Dervishes.—Mr. I. P. Brown, Secretary to the United States Legation nt Constantinople, and member of the American Oriental Society, to whose journal he hns contributed various important papers, has in preparation a work of great interest, to be called The Dervishes; or, Oriental Spiritualism."" The work will comprise eighteen chapters, the first of which will be a resume by the compiler, and the Inst a biography of Ali, by Shemsed Oin Sivesser. About forty illustrations will accompany the work. Robinson Crusoe. Translated from the Rev. J. Robinson's Bengali version, by Pandit Badri Lall. Svo. pp. 456. Benares, 1860. So it appears that the writings of Shakspeare, Bunyan, and Dc Foe (author of Robinson Crusoe) are finding their way into the languages of the East.

Repaired.—We learn from a letter of Dr. ■"■a"""™" 1 Gulick's tljat at the late meeting of the Association of West Hawaii, it was decided to repair the church at Kailua at an expense of $2,000. This church was built in 1836, and dedicated February 4, 1837. From the little work, a " Missionary's Daughter," we learn that Governor Adams, alias Kuakini, labored most efficiently towards the building of this church. He bore the entire expense of the carpenters' and masons' work. He accompanied the people to the forests to cut timber. After the building was dedicated, he enacted a law to exclude dogs, and " after two months no woman will be allowed to enter it without a bonnet." He also appointed officers to wake up all sleepers! The old Governor would not allow a woman to come upon his premises bonnetless upon the pain of having her hair shorn close to her bead ! The formation of this Club is a most capital idea. Our only wonder is that it was not thought of long ago. By a private letter, we learn that Capt. C. Brewer is President. James Hunnewell Esq, Vice President, Messrs. Marshall, Pitman and Bond, Executive Committee; E. P. Bond, Esq, Secretary. By a late mail, we received the following Circular. The plan of opening a Register is exactly what is needed. We hope the suggestion to " the friends of the *Club at the islands" will be carried out. We believe the Club designs to keep on file at their Room," copies of all the newspapers pub"lished at the islands, and also to gather an Hawaiian Library. We shall refer to their Club again.

OR, The Collegian and the Newsboy. When I was at college 1 en turning to my room at a late hour one nigin, when I stgambled over something lying on the sidewalk. As I was just beginning my up junior year, and had consequently given the sophomoric idea that swearing was a mark of superior manhood, without so much as a blessing upon careless watchmen I bent down, and after a little examination, found that I had stumbled over one of the city newsboys. He was almost frozen ; so wrap-d ping him up in my heavy cloak, I carri«" him with some difficulty up the long bill, and soon bad him in quarters something warmer than those in which 1 had found him. It was a long time before the boy became conscious of his whereabouts j but when his delirium was over, and he sat before my fire wrapped in my warm dressing-gown, 1 ascertained how it happened that I found him asleep on the sidewalk. He told his story in a few words. He was alone in the world; his father and mother were dead, and he was shifting for himself. He had been unsuccessful in the sale of his papers that day, was hungry and thinly dressed, and the wind blowing very cold, he had crouched down a moment at the comer to shield himself from the cutting blast, had fallen asleep, and in that state I had found him. I thought the little sinner was lying to me when he began about his father and mother, and I watched to see if he didn't bring himself out some way before he finished. He was a bright little fellow; thin, to be sure, and very pale, but he did have a keen, black eye, and no mistake. His story, short as it was, was not ended before 1, feeling sure he was not lying to me, had decided what to do. The next morning, measuring the length, breadth and thickness of my newsboy, I went down street to my tailor's, obtained a suit of clothes which he chanced to have on hand, and which, with a few changes, proved to be just the thing, purchased a pair tvf shoe* which exactly fitted the measure I had in my pocket, and returned to my room before ths> lad was%wake. „__a You ought to have seen how he opened room, at those eyes and stared at me, at the ' �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1866. 90 terything, and have watched the shadow of rplcxity, astonishment and delight flit ross his face, as the recollections of the it few hours came back. my man,".said I, " how do you "■1?Well, Well enough to get up and see if these ps are anywhere near the size of that body He was out of bed in a flash, and in a ry short time was dressed in his new suit. >! but he did look well, as he stood there so neat and that I felt as flogged the than trim, and so thankful withal, the school-master did when he boys, that " it is more blessed to receive." Well, I kept the boy with me till he was well and strong, and one morning 1 called him to me, and in a set speech, a la junior exhibition, said: " Mr. Newsboy, it is high time lhat you should begin again the voyage of active life, and this morning I am going to cut you adrift. Here's a little cash to help you nlong in your travels at first, and do you be careful lhat you don't make a bad use of it. Before you go I want you to promise me that behave yourself, be an ornament to and all that sort of thingswill you f" id yes, of course, a dozen times, and learty shake of the hand and a hasty >ye, Sam," he disappeared down the itairs. passed along. I graduated, settled ess, married ; but still never once my boy, and at last he and the ocwere forgotten, years ago this winter my business le to the West. It proved a sorry to me. I lost my traveling-sack, containing valuables to quite an amount; my journey had been a wild goose chase the least shadow of success, and just DUt discouraged, I started home. Misfortune did not desert me here. On ■king my wallet, I found that it had been ilen, and that I had not a dollar in my eket. I have a faint recollection of not feeling particularly amiable just at that time. Out West, in those days, was something different from what it is now, where you roll over the ground aj the rate of forty miles an hour, and out West, with not a dollar, and no means of communication but a line of snail-paced stage-coaches, was anything but tthout delightful. The coach for the East was just starting, and having watched it out of sight, I went back to the tavern and sat down to think how 1 should get out of my difficulty. I had been sitting there for some little time, when a man who had been warming himself with his back to the fire drew hischair near mine, and after a little chat at the weather, sur, of prised me by asking if I wasn't Mr. Providence, Rhode Island. I told him 1 was, and before I could return the compliment of asking his name, he said : Do you remember the boy whom, when you were a student in the University, you found almost frozen in the streets of Providence ? Do you remember that I promised yoa (for I am that boy,) to be an honest, industrious man, to behave myself,and become an ornament to society ? Yes, sir, I am that boy, and I can say, without fear of denial, ibat I am an honest and successful man, and ihst whatever I am, morally, or socially, J " am indebted to you for it," and he shook my hand as only a grateful man can. Then he told me what he had been about all these years ; how by industry and perseverance he had won the confidence of his employer, had in time been admitted by him as a partner, had married his partner's daughter—in a word, he was happy. My surprise at the appearance of " my boy," his evident pleasure in meeting me, his earnest inquiries after my welfare—all these things at the time I fully appreciated, anl I did not hesitate to tell him how I was situated. He laughed at my misfortunes, hoped I " wouldn't lie awake o' nights grieving about them," and taking my arm, led me away. He took me to his office, told me of his extensive business, made me shake hands with his fathf r-iu-law, nnd I don't know how many others, and soon after, leading me up the stately steps of as fine a dwelling as a reasonable man could wish to possess, he introduced me to its lovely mistress, his wife. I passed a plensnnt week under that friendly roof, and more than once I thought, as I journeyed homeward, how many more such grateful harvests might be garnered if men would be less miserly of the proper seed. How to Prevent a Divorce.—When the senior Jonathan Trumbull was Governor of Connecticut, a gentleman called at his house, requesting to see His Excellency in private. Accordingly he was shown into his sanctum sanctorumt and the Governor came forward to meet Squire W., saying, "Good morning, sir; lam glad to see you," Squire W., returned the salutation, adding as he did so, " I have called upon a very unpleasant errand, sir, and want your advice. My wife and I do not live happily together, and I am thinking of getting a divorce. What do you advise, sir ?'' The Governor sat a few moments in deep thought; then turning to Squire W., said : How did you tr.at Mrs. W., when you were courting her? and how did you feel towards her at the time of your marriage ? " Squire W., replied, " I treated her as kindly as I could, for I loved her dearly at that time." " Well sir," said the Governor, "go home and court her now just as you did then, and love her as when you married her. Do this in the fear of God for one year, and then tell me the result." The Governor then said, " Let us pray." They bowed in prayer and separated. When a year had passed away, Squire W., called again to see the Governor, and grasping his hand, said : " I have called, sir, to thank you for the good advice you gave me, and to tell you that my wife and I are as happy as when first we were married. I cannot be grateful enough for your good counsel." "I am glad to hear it, Mr. W., and hope that you will continue to court your wife as long as you live." The result was that Squire W., and his wife lived happily together to tbe end of theirs married life. Let those who are thinking of separation in these days go and do likewise. " nets .of kindness, " Little Little deeds of love. Mnke this world an Eden. Like to that above." While the civil war was raging in the United States, European writers were loud in their condemnation, of it, because brother was arrayed against brother ! But it appears, that the present struggle in Europe, presents features of a similar nature. The London correspondent of the New York Times thus refers to the relations of royalty to the war: " The sympathies of the Queen of England must be strangely divided in this contest. The husband, of her eldest daughter commands a division of the Prussian army, in which near relatives of her late husband occupy prominent positions. The husband of her second daughter has a command in the Austrian army. Prince Teck, just married to the Princess Mary of Cambridge, has accepted a command in the Austrian army, and sets out for the seat of war, with his bride, before the honeymoon is half over. There is scarcely a member of any royal family in Europe who is not mixed up in the war. A dozen princes of Northern Germany have already lost their crowns and kingdoms. Some are exiles in Austria, some prisoners in Prussia. The King of Hanover, with his army of 30,000 men, is hemmed in by the Prussians, and considering whether the Federal Army of Frankfort may not come to his rescue. The King df Saxony escaped with his whole army ; but Bismarck says of him and the others, that if they ever get back they will not recognize their kingdoms, so rapid and radical are the changes ho is making. When Victor Emmanuel was starting to cross the Mincio, he telegraphed the fact to his son-in-law, the King of Portugal. " You will hear from me in a few days," said the Kiflg. " Tell Maria." The King of Portugal has heard of him, and, 1 presume, has told Maria. A Descendant of John Rogers, the correspondent writes us thnt the young man by the name of Rogers, whose death we recorded in our last issue, was a son of J. F. Rogers, Esq., cashier of the Railroad Bank, Lowell, Mass., and was also a descendant of the tenth generation of the Martyr Rogers, who was burnt at the stake February 4, 1555, during the reign of Queen Mary, known as Bloody Mary. Descendants of the Martyr we knew were living in America, and are very glad to learn that the worthy and estimable young gentleman who lately died on our shores descended from so worthy an ancestry. The parents of the young man are soon expected to visit the Martyr.—A Islands. Old Paterson—Whom Scott saw reviving the inscriptions on the tombs of the Covenanters, went to America, and became the grandfather of a Paterson, whose widow married the Marquis of Wellesly. The sisters of that Mrs. Paterson married the Duke of Leeds and Lord Stafford. The direct blood of Old Mortality went in another and as remarkable a direction. His granddaughter, Miss Paterson, was the first wife of Jerome Bonaparte. The marriage was never " legally annulled, and a son who sprung from it," the great-grandspn of Old Mortality, is now on the staff of his cousin, the Emperor of the French. �91 THE HMIiMi, OCTOBER, 1866. THE BIBLE. the gospel, a religion which is intended ultimately to absorb all the other religions of the world. It speaks to us as immortal beings on the highest, noblest, and most important themes which can challenge our attention, and with an authority that is absolutely irresistable and overwhelming. It can instruct, edify, warn, terrify, appease, cheer, and encourage as no other book. It seizes man in the hidden depth of his intellectual and moral constitution, and goes to the quick of the soul, to that mysterious point where it is [The following remarks are copied from the American edition of the German Prof. Lange's Commentary on the New Testament.

In reading thnt marvelously odd old book, Cotton Mather's Magnalia," on page 58, " 1., Vol. we met with the following paragraph relating to Yankee whalemen of the 17th century " From the catching of cod, and other fish of less dimensions, they have since passed on to the catching of whales, whose oil has become a staple commodity of the country ; whales, I say, which living and moving islands, do now find a way to this coast, where notwithstanding the desperate hazards run by the whale catchers in their thin whaleboats, often torn to pieces by the strokes of those enraged monsters; yet has been rarely known that any of them hare miscarried. And within a few days of my writing this paragraph (1696 or thereabouts) a cow and calf were caught at Yarmouth in this Colony. The cow was fifty-five feet long. A cart upon wheels might have gone in at the mouth of it. The calf was twenty feet long." In the Colonial history there is frequent mention of..catching whales off the coast of New England. It is interesting to trace the history of the whale-fishery from that day until the present, when now whales are seldom to be found except in the remotest parts of the seas and oceans of the world. Yankee whalemen are still following in the wake of these monsters of the deep, until finally they have called to their aid steam and gun-powder. As the last echoes of " there she blows" were dying away amid the dreary regions of Greenland and the Arctic Ocean, a shout was heard from the backwoods of Pennsylvania that "ile was struck." Lo! out gushes a stream that flows on without cessation. : Cure for Want of Appetite.—This is a very common complaint, and the medical authorities give various directions to persons who are thus afflicted. There is one however that we have not seen stated in the books. Cause a good dinner to be prepared, and it on sitting down you do not feel an appetite, immediately direct your cook to remove the foodand convey it around the corner of the street to the Widow Smith, who has several small chiraren. Rest assured your dinner will not go uneaten, and your next meal will be eaten with a good relish.

Harper A Brothers, New York, 1866. In the November number of the Friend, 1865, will be found a notice of Vol. I.of this important publication. On opening this volume, our attention is first arrested by this fact (before reading a page,) that the Emperor should have given to this volume the last touches of his pen at " the Tuilleries, March 20, 1866," and before the 20th of September, or between the vernal and autumnal equinoxes—the 20th of March and the 20th of September—the volume should have been printed in Paris, reprinted in London, and again reprinted in New York, and brought lo Honolulu, on the opposite side of the world, from Paris! Truly we live in a fast and progressive age. This volume embraces the history of Caesar's life, while carrying forward the conquest of Gaul, down to the time when he crosses the Rubicon, exclaiming : "The die is cast! Let us go where I am called by the prodigies of the gods aud the iniquity of my enemies." The basis of this volume is, of course, the famous " Commentaries" of Caesar, which have for so many centuries been the study and admiration of historians, scholars, divines and the whole literary world. Caesur's commentaries still retain their place as a text-book in academies and colleges. Only last week we chanced to take a peep into the Latin recitation room of Oahu College at Punahou, and 10, there sat President Alexander hearing, among others, a pure Hawaiian youth, translating from Latin into English, that spirited and remarkable passage relating to Julius Caesar and the haughty German, Ariovistus, not altogether unlike the recent diplomatic and curt correspondence between Bismasjk, the haughty German, and the present Emperor of France, author ,of this volume now under review, Ariovistus wondered what business Julius Caesar or the Roman people had in his division of Gaul. So Bismark wonders what business the Emperor of France can have in extending the boundaries of his Empire up to the Rhine. History repeats itself in a cycle of years. By the way, if we mistake not, this was the same Hawaiian youth whose correct demonstration of a difficult problem in geometry or trigonometry at the late Examination led Bishop Staley to remark that the youth putted himself in a manner which would re done credit to a student of Oxford or mbridge. But to return from this digression, here s before our eyes this beautifully printed, . s f handsomely bound, and expensively executed volume. How pleasant to read over the story of Caesar's campaigns in Gaul, written by a Napoleon who now rules over France ! The author could write, " My uncle" threatened to land an army in Britain, but Csssar actually led an army thither, and in this volume there is the narrative of the manner in which it was done. Cresar's description of the Britons during the first century prior to our Saviour's birth, is not very flattering to their descendants of Old or New England. They were clothed in skins, wore their hair long, lived in mud huts, besmeared their bodies with blue paint (woak,) and in morals were not above the inhabitants of New Holland or the wilds of America ; and furthermore, were as much under the influence of the old Druids as were the North American Indians under their powwows, or the Sandwich Islanders under their kahunas. This volume suggests many topics, upon which we should delight to dwell, if our limits would permit. It is a book which will provoke much interesting discussion in military and literary circles. From the' publisher's note prefixed to this volume, we learn that Consar's Commentaries have been carefully studied by several of the distinguished Kings and Emperors of Europe of former times. It appears that Charles Y. left a copy of Crjßsar, with marginal notes written with his own hand j King Henry the IV. of France, translated the first two books of the Commentaries; Louis XIV. translated the first book, and many others studied Caesar with care. Napoleon I. at St. Helena, dictated the " Precis dcs Guerres dc Cesar," which was published in Paris in 1836. We regret that this volume should not be accompanied with the plates and maps referred to so often on almost every page of the book, and it is surprising the publishers in New York should have allowed the volume to go forth thus defective. An old writer says that geography and chronology are the eyes of history. If so, this volume is a oneeyed affair ! We learn from Mr. Whitney that he is expecting a supply of this book, which will be soon offered for sale. We would tender our indebtedness to the gentleman who kindly loaned us this volume, on condition that we cut the leaves. We would acknowledge a small pamphlet from Boston, containing in part the results of Mr. Horace Mann's botanical researches upon these Islands in 1864. It will be remembered that Messrs. Brigham and Mann visited the Islands for scientific purposes. We also learn that Professor Brigham has returned to Boston, via China, India and Burope. We notice tbat in the above mentioned pamphlet very honorable reference is made to Dr. Hillebrand as a botanist. — T. F. Wilson, Esq. By a late vessel this gentleman arrived from Washington. He belongs to the newly organized Consular Corps, which has been called into existence by a law of Congress passed in 1864. According to this law of Congress, a certain number of young men, after undergoing an examination in international law, general literature and other branches, are placed on the " line of promotion." They first serve as clerks, or in some of the lower offices of the Departments, and then are advanced. The French and English Consular systems are copied, being adapted to our Republican Government. Mr. Wilson comes out with the rank of Vice-Consul to officiate at this Consulate during the contemplated absence of Mr. Caldwell. Mr. Wilson has already acquired much Consular experience, having officiated for three years as United Stares Consul at Bahia, Brazil. He was tbe Consul who co-operated with the commander of the Wachusett in cutting out and taking to the United States the rebel cruiser Florida during the war. The deed was no doubt executed in violation of international law, but under the peculiar circumstances, we suppose both the Brazilian and United States Governments concluded that " the less said the better." Subsequently the Florida was sunk, and there thea>matter ended. The law of Congress to which we have referred will undoubtedly revolutionize the matter of foreign Consuls, and place the system on a much better foundation. New Attorney General.—If the state of morals, crime and general depravity require the Hawaiian Government to send abroad for an Attorney General, we- are sincerely glad that it had the good sense to send to old Massachusetts and invite a prominent member of the legal profession from that State. Mr. Phillips, having been an Attorney General of that ancient Commonwealth, surely comes amongst us to wear, not acquire laurels. We hope our lawyers will see well to it that this gentleman does not prosecute unto conviction any poor innocent hade or tnaoli who may chance to beaccused. " Better let ten guilty escape than punish one innocent," is the old adage. We would warn all violators of the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom, look out, you have a Massachusetts lawyer after you, and report says that the lawyers are very smart in the " Hub of the universe." The sum of £SO.OOO or $400,000 has been contributed in England, for the benefit of the Freedmen of the Southern States. One fourth part has been contributed by the Quakers.

James B. Dunn, and just published by the National Temperance Society t Prior to the advent of the cholera in England, in the Spring of 1832, a placard was daily carried through the streets of London, by order of the civil authorities, having in large capitals the words, " All spirit drinkers will be the first victims of the cholera." The result was that few persons had the cholera in that city. In the cities of New York and Albany, the same year, thousands of posters bearing this caution were put up with good effect: " Quit dram-drinking if you toould not have the cholera." This arose from the fact, that however writers and theorists may differ about contagion and non-contagion, on this point they all agree, that Intemperance predisposes to cholera, and that the intemperate are its first victims, and make up nine-tenths of its subjects. Everywhere the cholera has manifested such an affinity for the temperate that they have been, not unappropriated, denominated cholera conductors. Monsieur Huber said of 2160 persons whom he saw die in twenty-one days in one It is a most remarkable town in Russia : circumstances that persons given to drinking have been swept away like flies." In Triflis, containing 20,000 inhabitants, erery drunkard has fallen—all are dead—not one remains. Nearly all of the 30,000 persons who died of cholera in Paris during its last*visit were in the habit of using strong drink, and ninetenths of all who perished by the malady in Poland were of the same class. Throughout England, Ireland, and Scotland, it was not known that a single member of a Temperance society died of this disease during its ravages in 1832, while it is computed that five-sixths of all who perished were taken from the ranks of the intemperate, and in one or two villages in Scotland every drunkard had fallen. When it visited those countries in 1848-49, one of the most extensive and respectable liquor-dealers in Glasgow remarked that cho'era had cut off at least onehalf of hisbest customers. Similar testimony is borne by the Glasgow press of that period as that recorded during the cholera ravages in 1832, that the lists of mortality were always swelled after some carousal season. Dr. A. M. Adams, Professor of Medicine in Glasgow, and one whose name ranks high in the medical profession, in a letter dated Nov. 29, 1848, makes the following striking statement : I have found the use of alcoholic drinks to be the most powerful predisposing " Uka iii or Tiikiii'imi.i-s Mtnu.r.—Tho friends of this stenLleman will regret to hunr of his decease, which occurred at Oakland.

In this capacity he was engaged in laying out tbe Michigan Central Railroad, where his abilities became so conspicuous that, before he was 21 years ot age, he received the appointment of Chief Engineer of that, which was then one of the greatest railroad enterprises in America, iieing still quite young, his health gave way tinder the arduous duties required in his new office, and he was advised to migrate to a warmer climate, lie came to these islands May 19, 1842, engaged in his profession of civil engineer, and held office for several years as Superintendent of Public Works. He was also Marshal of the Islands for two or three years. About the year 1855 he commenced the Kaupnkuea l*lantation on Hawaii, which he continued to carry on till his death. Few men have done more to develope the resources of this group than he, and few hove more thoroughly studied its wants and necessities. He possessed a vigorous and powerful pen, and contributed some Interesting articles on our agriculture aud resources. Our readers may remember tho series describing the harbors of this group, published ten years ago. These Were from his pen, and showed a thorough knowledge of tho wants of the islands. He was an excellent French scholar, and studied the current agricultural and mechanical literature of France with the greatest interest. At the time of his death he was *7 years old. He leaves four children— the two eldest of wbom were with him at the time of his death. His property is supposed to be worth from $50,000 to $100,000. By his will he has appointed Dr. Judd, Charles R. Bishop and E. O. Hall bis executors, and leaves $10,000 to each of his three younger children, by a" second wife, and the residue to his oldest daughter, by his first wife. In case of her death without issue, Oahu College'(which institution was always a favorite of his) becomes the residuary legatee.—Advertiser. - Sauii Change.—We think the time has come when some one else besides the Editor of the Herald should mov.i in this matter of small change. Every merchant, housekeeper, the banker, the Chamber of Commerce, Treasury Department, and if necsjsv sary, the missionaries—Protestant, Catholic and Reformed Catholic—should endeavor to introduce a better currency than is now in existence. We think if the Minister of Finance had worked one-half as hard to bring about a change in the small change as Ke did to introduce paper money, he would have found the public more grateful for his arduous services. No one but admits the necessity of some change, but the great objection urged is this, " Oh, the natives will not take dimes—they are opposed to dimes—they wet* once bit by being compelled to take a dime for something less than a bit, and you cannot get them to overcome their prejudices." There may be some force in this objection, but we have the remedy at hand. Suppose the banker, Minister of Finance and Chamber of Commerce agree to put " bits " to the value of dimes, and then let the Au Okoa and Kuokoa explain the change, and depend upon it, the change would be soon brought about. Kanakas are not so stupid and thick-headed as some imagine. Let the retail traders also come intothe arrangement, and it would essentially aid and forward the change. Keep the matter before the people, ye editors of the weeklies and the "Daily." — Hot Summer. From the newspapers we learn that the heat has been intense in the United States during the past summer. Dr. Wood thus writes from Concord, Mass., under date of July 10th : " The maximum of heat during the present month is said to be without a parallel. For nine days in July the thermometer has ranged about 90 ° In this town it has reached 96 ° —in some localities 98 «**. In New York 110° , with twenty-three cases of sunstroke, and a large proportion of deaths." He furnishes the following table, showing the temperature relatively of Koloa (Kauai), Honolulu, San* Francisco, and Concord : Perhaps the Gleaner would more appropriately head our sheet than the friend, for it requires much close gleaning to pick news items, after the itemizers of the Advertiser, Gazette and Daily Herald have had the field for a full month.

John Williams.—This is a new hark of 300 tons, built in Aberdeen, Scotland, at a cost of £8,000. It has been paid for by Sabbath school children in England, in sympathy with the operations of the London Missionary Society in the South Seas. This vessel is supposed to have sailed from England, and is probably now in the South Pa- cific. John Weslev.—This vessel was wrecked last November on one of the Tonga or Friendly Islands. Its place will doubtless be very soon supplied by a new vessel, to be owned, as was its predecessor, by the Wesleyan Missionary Society of England. 3. John Knox.—This is a vessel owned by the Missionary Society of New Brunswick, sending missionaries to the New Hebrides. 2. Amelia—but there is such a vessel, which is running to South Africn. German missionaries are laboring near or among the Zulus. 7. Morning Star. —The new Morning Star is now building at one of the ship-yards at South Boston. She is expected to sail from Boston, so as to reach Honolulu on or before the coming Spring. The money for building this vessel is now being raised among the Sabbath school children of the United States. The Maoris of New Zealand. —The race is melting away ; and if there were no more war, and the Europeans were to leave the country to-morrow, the extinction of the Maori, in an exceedingly brief period, is as certain as anything human can be. A very few figures will show this. In 184i!, according to the best estimates which could be made, the authority of missionaries and other long residents in the country, their number was 114,000. In 1850 a well-informed Wesleyan missionary estimated them at 70,000. In 1858 a government census, generally supposed to be in excess, returned them at 55,970. The war and natural causes have, by this time, probably reduced them to 45,000. Carry on the calculation, and it is evident that the certain extinction of the race, except a few individuals, is a thing which many of us may live to witness. The one great cause of this has been, and is, their utter disregard of all those social and sanitary conditions which are essential to the continuing vitality of the human race. The result is, the constitution of the Maori is absolutely decayed, and they do not produce children to replace the current generation of adults.— English paper. She is now running among those islands. 4. Southern Cross.—This is a vessel owned by tho Church Missionary Society of England, and placed at the disposal of Bishop Selwyn of New Zealand, and Bishop Patteson of Melanesia. This vessel has recently made a trip among the Solomon Islands, and the crew of one of her boats was fired upon by the natives of one of those savage islands.

Tho Northman lay on his iron cliff, Outlooking the Norman sea ; With his bold, blue eras of wild emprise. Abroad o'er the wave locked he. In a restless mood of solittido, He longs in the chase to roam : "I've conquered the bear in the Toriiean wood, And the shark by the deep Maelstroom! My fitting foe lived long ago— The mighty mastodon! His blue eyes bravely glanced below— The chivf from Ms cliff had gone! 'Tis the whale ; yon whale that tempts his sail, Like an island he moveth on— By the boundless sen. I'll conquer thee, Thou ocean mastodon ! He darted his skiff from the foot of the cliff, All armed with corded spear ; Soon tbe barb is dyed in the sea beast's side. Anil away to the West they steer. Willi hempen rein, o'er the ocean plain, Mot* licet than the sledge they go ; With the retl setting sun a race they run. In the road of its ruddy glow. And tho sturm-waves keep up a glassy calm, That strange Hist bark to see : And tlio sea-gods rose the chase to charm. And shouted-" We'll ride with the*!'' And one of their troop the Norman chose, To share in his daring deed ; White was her breast as the Finland snows, Her heart like tho brown sea-weed. And thus they twain o'er rode tho main. And the Norman's shirt oCsnuil. With his shield he clashed, as they land-way washed, Till he stranded the maddened whale! That night on the strand of Owhyhee's land, He built for his mermaid bride A bowery hut, and the oil ho cut, For a lamp irom the monster's side. And from these two there sprang a crew, The boldest to spread the sail; And on every plain of tbe stormy main They chase the tumbling whale! " " " " " Intemperance. Foul flend, begone! I scorn thy tempting wile— 1 heed thee not—l know thy subtle arts. There was a time thy deep insidious smile l.nred me to throw aside man's nobler part, And made God's work a selfish senseless thing— A plague-spot in the path of fellow man.— I loaded to madness with the venom'd sting, A prey to anguish 'neath thy withering ban. Hut I am onco again myself, and now My tribute age shall speak in truthful lays Of thy deep pitfall and how keen the blow, When mem'ry reverts to bygone days. Where are thy victims? Legion calls their name The high, tbe honored, all have felt thy spell. What's tho result, source of all sin and shame?— The murderer, suioide, too plainly tell— Like to the deadly upas in the shade Of loneliness, thou touch with ftetid breath. Things of bright promise 'neath thy influence fade, Then left by thee to an eternal death. Sophia Wkhhkr. Launcenton, Dec. 11, lSfifl. tn The Bathometer —a New Philosophical Instrument.—We understand that Mr. Sidney E. Morso, the founder of the Boston Eecorder, the senior founder of the New York Observer, and the inventor of Cerography, has recently invented, and just patented, in connection with his son,G.Livingston Morse, a new and very simpre philosophical instrument, which they call a Bathometer. It is intended, ns its name imports, to measure the depth of water everywhere, even in the deepest parts of the ocean ; and it does this with a rapidity and accuracy far exceeding that of any apparatus now in use ftfr the purpose. No line is used, and it sinks therefore, rapidly, with little obstruction from friction. No line being used, its accuracy as a meter of depth is not affected by currents. You throw it overboard, with its appendages, in the ocean, where the water is miles deep. It goes down like a shot, and, as soon as it touches bottom, it turns and comes back to the surface. You pick it up, and the true depth of the water at the point where it struck the bottom is seen on the scale of the Bathometer, just as you see the degree of heat on the scale of a Thermometer. You turn the instrument on its side, and then cause it again to assume a perpendicular .position, and it is ready for a new operation. One of the most curious parts of the whole contrivance is, that with a slight change, the same Bathometer can be used as a meter of the depth of water in the ocean, on a scale of an inch to a mile, and in a bathing tub on a scale of more than the tenth of an inch to a loot, the lower part of the scale being used Tor shallow and the upper part for deep water.

Whose fault is it ? There are many young Hawaiians, well educated in general studies, who, we are confident, wouid make good physicians, infinitely better than the miserable kahunas who are killing off the race. Might not some young Hawaiians be trained at the Queen's Hospital, or by our physicians, who would make good practical physicians amting the natives?

She said in passing, A good word for me." Yes, " Mrs. P., a good word for you and all the good women, who accompany their husbands on long voyages. We have now in port, or expected, the following shipmasters, who are accompanied with their wives—Capt. Woods, "Ceylon;" Capt. Geerkin, "A. J. Pope;" Capt. Jernegan, " Thos. Dickason ;" Capt. Raynor, " Reindeer ;" Capt. Soule, " St. George ;" Capt. Fish, "Eliza Adams ;" Capt. Davis, " Navy;" Capt. Heppingstone, " Hae Hawaii;" Capt. Kelly, "Gayhead ;" Capt. Robinson, "Active;" Capt. Rose, "Trident;" Capt. Landers, " Chas. W. Morgan ;" Capt. Capper, "Isabella," (an English merchant ship.) The presence of so many excellent women among our seafaring community exerts an influence for good beyond what words can adequately express. If favored with the gift of the Divine " afflatus," which is absolutely necessary for writing poetry, we should certainly go off in an effusion over these good ladies ! They accompany their husbands to the extreme line of northern navigation —up to the icy barrier! Some years ago when one of the English exploring ships wintered in the In our last issue, in referring to the arrival of Mr. Wilson, as Vice Consul, we remarked respecting the capture of the Florida, by the Wachusett, that " the deed was no doubt executed in violation of international law," &c. We have since examined the matter more minutely, and learn that the Brazilian authorities had repeatedly allowed Confederate pirate vessels to capture American shipping within their waters, which alters the question materially. Under the circumstances, Mr. Wilson felt that he was called to advise the capture of the pirate by the Wachusett, even in the harbor of Bahia. Fortunately, it was as successful as it was a bold and plucky dash at the pirate which was lying under the guns of the fort; but if it had not been so successful, what the consequences would have been, we leave our readers to imagine. 97 {©ft Series, gal. 25. Passengers for China and Siam.—lt is now becoming quite common for travelers and missionaries, bound to China, from the Eastern States, to cross the Pacific from San Francisco to Hongkong. In consequence of this arrangement, it affords us an opportunity for becoming acquainted with many of them. In former years, Rev. Dr. Dean and family, Rev. Mr. Chilcott (who has since died,) Rev. Mr. Crawford, and Mrs. Hepburn have passed this way. During the last month the Rev. Dr. House and wife, bound touched at Honolulu. Dr. MacGowan, formerly a Baptist Missionary in China, but now Agent for a Telegraphic Company, also came this way. When the China steamers commence their regular trips, it is quite certain that all Americans bound to China will come this way, and it may confidently be expected that some European travelers will take jhis route. to Siam, Thomas P. Manning.—This Copperhead sailor, who piloted the Shenandoah among the Yankee whalers in the Arctic, is now skulking about San Francisco. The police are upon his track, and some enraged and suffering whalemen are hoping to catch him, and give him such a lesson as he will not soon forget. Manning actually accomplished something that will render his name infamous, but did not thousands of Copperheads try to do the same and utterly failed. We have some respect for Southern soldiers and Southern people who fought with a bravery worthy of a better cause," but for those Copperheads at the North, who acted the part of traitors—like Manning—we have no respect. They wished and tried to do something equally infamous, and because they did not succeed is to be attributed to the patriotism and loyalty of the soldiers and friends of the Union cause. Late reports from the United States indicate that the Union cause is still in the ascendant. What an age for Manias.—The Postage Stamps mania, appears to be now raging " most fearfully. A friend in Boston, sends us an order (to fill out of Hawaiian P. O. Stamps,) from Egypt. The newspaper mania is rife. We have an order, for a variety of newspapers, from Springfield, Mass.

About 04 P. they were seated quietly by their evening lamp, thinking, pe.haps, that their friends might have done something, had they only thought of it in time, two of their parishioners, a lady and gentleman, dropped in, and after congratulating them on their 25th wedding anniversary, told them it would be well to prepare for their friends, provided any should call In during the eveniDg, andf requested the privilege of taking possession o their dining-room; where very soon after, might have been seen a crowd of fair ones, with smiling faces and nimble hands, busy as a swarm of bees, preparing a supper table that would have graced a royal least. A stream of good things—cakes, a letter " conserves, meats, fruits and flowors in endless variety —flowed in from, no one seemed to know where, and yet in almost exhaustless supply. Friends and strangers continued to congregate in numbers till the rooms were overcrowded,and the parsonage was really too strait to accommodate them. At half-past seven the door of the, tabooed apartment was thrown open, and tbe crowd, led by Mr. CoBWDf, pastor of the Fort Street Church, and Chief Justice ALU*, entered the suppor room. Here, on a table spread out alone, were the silver presents, consisting of knives, forks, spoons, cream and milk dishes, butter and cheese knives, napkin-rings, _c.,„c.,and in tbe center of tbe table a silver cake dish, piled full with bright silver half dollars, in all about six hundred pieces. The silver ware is valued ut about live hundred dollars, and the money about three hundred more. On another long dining table was spread the generous repast prepared by unknown friends, of which, after a most touching invocation from Mr. Corwin, the host, hostess and guests were invited to partake. In tbe contor of the table was a rich boquet presented by the Misses Montgomery, which was conceded by all to be the most elegant ornament of tho kind ever seen here at a supper. Some of the roses measured four and five inches in diameter. There were several other boquets presented worthy of Rev. special note. Alter an hour or so spent at supper, the happy couple, who had reached the silver point in life's journey," were called into the supper room, and formally presented with the silver presents by Dr. J. Mott Smith, and afterwards addressed by Rev.

EDITOR'S TABLE. lllinil Preacher of Maul. is This a reprint of seven pages from the at Home," for August, being an Hours " article prepared for that sterling Monthly, by the Rev. Dr. Anderson. It appears that the venerable Secretary is preparing a series of sketches of Hawaiian worthies. Kapiolani appeared some months ago, which is now followed by Bartirneus. As a basis for this article, the writer has found the memoirs prepared by the Rev. Messrs. Bingham and Green of great service: Bartirneus, the I AS A PAGAN. Kapiolani belonged to the ruling class, but Bartirneus, of whom some account is now to be given, was from the lowest order of Hawaiian society. Yet he became a scarcely less distinguished trophy of divine grace. He was born on East Maui, about the year 1755. * * * "* * When the American mission reached Kailua in 1820, he was there in the king's train, playing the buffoon for the amusement of the queen and chiefs, and thus he obtained the means of subsistence. It is not probable that he knew anything of the missionaries at that time. The royal family removed to Honolulu early in 1821, and the blind dancer made part of their wild and noisy train. There he suffered from illness, destitution, and neglect, and in his distress was visited by John Honolii4 one of the Christian islanders brought by the mission from America, who spoke to him of the Great Physician. This interested him, and as soon as he could walk he went with Honolii to hear the preaching of the missionaries. The impression he made on them was that of extreme degradation and wretchedness. His diminutive frame bowed by sickness, his scanty covering of bark-cloth, only a narrow strip around his waist and a piece thrown over his shoulders, his meagre face, his ruined eyes, his long blnck beard, his feeble, swarthy limbs, and his dark soul—all made him a most pitiable object. # both in this and in that of The darkness, pollution, and chaotic state of society, was the reason, though perhaps that should have been a motive for receiving those little ones earlier into the fold. But Puaaiki's expression of desire to be united with the people of God in the spring of 1825,could not be any longer resisted, and he was carefully examined by Mr. Richards, as to his Christian knowledge and belief, and the evidences of a work of grace in his heart. The following is a translation of a portion of his replies. " Why do you ask to be admitted to the church ? " " Becauso I love Jesus Christ, and I love you the missionaries, and desire to dwell in the fold of Christ, and join with you in eating the holy bread, and drinking the holy wine." is the holy bread ? " " What is body of Christ, which he gave It the " to save sinners." we then eat the body of Chrift ? " " Do No ; we eat the bread which represents his body ; and as we eat bread that our bodies may not die, so our souls love Jesus Christ and receive him for their Saviour, that may not die." is the holy wine ? " " What blood of Christ, which was " It is the poured out on Calvary, in the land of Judea, to save us sinners." drink the blood of Christ ? " " Do webutthen the wine represents his blood, ; No " just as the holy bread represents his body, and all those who go to Christ and trust in him, will have their sins washed away in his blood, and their souls saved forever in heaven." " Why do you think it more suitable for you to join the church than others ?" " Perhaps it is not. If it is not proper, you must tell me ; but I do greatly desire to dwell in the fold ofChrist." " Who do you think are proper persons to be received into the church " Those who have repented of their sins, and have new hearts ? " is a new heart ?

The one I have now is In March, governor, died in the following November, but Messrs Richards and Stewart, missionaries, who had arrived a few months previously, then became his religious guides. In the summer of 1824, an insurrection occurred on the island of Kauai, the most northern of the group, which was soon suppressed; but it was followed by a sort of insurrectionary effort on the part of a heathen party on Maui, to revive some of the old idolatrous rites. Puaaiki and his associates, then known as " the praying ones," earnestly opposed this; and being called together by the missionaries, and instructed and encouraged, the blind convert was requested to lead in prayer. very bad. It is unbelieving and inclined to evil. But it is not like the one I formerly had. Yes, I think I have a new heart." These answers are given as a sample. Mr. Richards declares the questions to have been all new to him, and that he answered them from his knowledge, and not from having committed any catechism. On the tenth of July, 1825, Puaaiki was admitted into the church at Lahaina, and received the name of Batimea Lalana. The name Lalana (Lendon) was added at his own suggestion, in accordance with a Hawaiian custom ofnoting events.

We shall * �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, I Bft 6. 100 use only the former of the two names, giving it the English form, Bartirneus. » # # # HIS PROMINENT CHARACTERISTICS. * The character of Barti«ieus shines out so clearly in the foregoing narrative, that little more need be said. His calling to be a preacher was evidently of God. He had original endowments for that service. There has been already some reference to the strength of his memory, and to his eloquence. An illustration of both is given by Mr. Clark, writing from Wailuku soon after his decease. " In January last, I met him at protracted meeting in this place, and was then more rior in appearance when sitting, but when he rises to speak, he looks well, stands erect, gesticulates with freedom, and pours forth, as he becomes animated, words in torrents. He is perfectly familiar with the former, as well as the present, religion, customs, modes of thinking, anil in fact the whole history of the islanders, which enables him often to draw comparisons, make allusions, and direct appeals, with a power which no foreigner will ever possess." Mr. Clark thinks him more distinguished for his humility even than for his eloquence. "Among all the graces which shone in him in such beautiful proportion, humility was the most conspicuous. Although much noticed by chiefs and missionaries, as well as those of his own rank, and occasionally receiving tokens of respect even from a far distant land, he was always the same. He sought the lowest place, and always exhibited the same modest demeanor, and appeared in the same humble garb. His prayer was, ' Lord be merciful to me a sinner.' This was the more remarkable, as it was in strong contrast to the natural character of the Hawaiians. Although he labored for some time as a licensed preacher of the gospel, he probably never took his station in the pulpit while addressing an audience. He preferred a more humble position." What shall we think of the capabilities of a race which produces such a man, and of the power of the gospel, when we trace the history of this Blind Preacher? And what value shall we place upon the results of the gospel on these islands, and upon the mission which justly reckons such results as among the fruits of its labors ? He died Feb. 21, 1844.

He was called upon to preach at an evening meeting. His heart was glowing with love for souls. The overwhelming destruction of the impenitent seemed to be pressing with great weight upon his mind ; and this he took for the subject of his discourse at the evening meeting. He chose for the foundation of his remarks, Jer. iv. 13. " Behold he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind." The anger of the Lord against the wicked, and the terrible overthrow of all his enemies, were portrayed in most vivid colors. He seized upon the terrific image of a whirlwind or tornado as an emblem of the ruin which God would bring upon his enemies. This image he presented in all itsmajestic and awful aspects, enforcing his remarks with such passages as Ps. lviii. 9: He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath ; " Prov. i. 27: And your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;" lsa. xl. 24 "And the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble ; " Jer. xxx. 23 " Behold the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind ; it shall fall witii pain upon the head of the wicked;" Hosea viii. 7 : " For they have sown the wind, and they shallreap the whirlwind ;" Nahum i. 3, Zech. vii. 14, and other pssages in which the same image is presented —always quoting chapter and verse. I was surprised to find that this image is so often used by the sacred writers. And how this blind man, never having used a Concordance or a Reference Bible in his life, could, on the spur of the moment, refer to all those texts, was quite a mystery. But his mind was stored with the precious treasure, and in such order that he always had it at command. Never have 1 been so forcibly imLieutenant of Marine*—Sack.

We would remark, that no one had more to do in collecting the funds to purchase this monument than young Davis, whose death is referred to in another portion of our columns.

The Authorship of "Ecce Homo."— There is a legend floating about London that the publiser invited 16 persons to dinner to meet trie author of Ecce Homo, who returned home no wiser than they came.

The dinner party would include, among others, the most celebrated of Roman Catholic divines, the most learned of Roman Catholic laymen, we know not how many Nonconformist ministers, three Essayists and Reviewers, an Archbishop of York, innumerable young Fellows of Colleges, a Republican professor, a female novelist, a leading journalist, an Irish historian, a Scottish duke, a Master of Trinity, a dean of Westminister, an Attorney-General, a poet laureate, a Chancellor of the Exchequer, a High Church Vice-Chancellor, a law stationer, a chemist, an unknown sea captain, and the Emperor of the French.

NOVEMBER, 1866. A Wise Excuse.—On one occasion, at a dinner at the Bishop of Chester's, Hannah More urged Dr. Johnson to take a little wine. He replied, " I can't drink a little, child, and therefore 1 never touch it. Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance would be difficult." Many have the same infirmity, but are destitute of the same courage, and therefore are ruined.

In the application and practical working of those laws, upon a fair estimate, nearly, if not more, than one half of those serving on board American whalcships as. seamen, are thrown outside of the pale of relief in case they are sick and disabled. The laws as now interpreted, do not allow relief to be administered by the consul to foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports to be discharged in foreign ports. Any one acquainted with the character of the crews of whaleships, will readily see that this ruling of the U. S. Consul shuts out all Polynesians (or kanakas,) and a vast number of Portuguese seamen. These two classes, Polynesian and Portuguese, will make up good one half of the seamen on board the sixty or seventy ships touching at Honolulu this fall. We make the statement without fear of contradiction, that the successful prosecution of the American whale fishery in this ocean, is absolutely dependent upon these men— these foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports, and to be discharged in ports foreign to the United States. This whole matter of shipping and discharging seamen attached to American whaleships, has undergone a revolution during the last few years. When whaleships leave New Bedford and other This Number concludes another volume of " The Friend." Our subscribers in Honolulu and other islands, having enjoyed the reading of this paper for twelve months, are requested to settle when their bills are presented.

These men are however toiling and spending their lives under the American Flag, but without enjoying the relief of American seamen, when sick and disabled. The result is that many seamen are turned away from U. S. Consulate, and compelled to seek relief from the community at large, who should be in the U. S. Hospital. Persons of this description are now in Honolulu. Mrs. Crabb, at the Sailors' Home, and the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, of Honolulu, come in to assist the U. S. Government to support sick and disabled seamen. Cases are constantly occurring in Honolulu, wherein the U. S. Government ought to furnish relief, but we are told, according to instructions from Washington, relief cannot be afforded. Now, we say, there is a screw loose somewhere ; " in the mean time the U. S. Government, with a revenue of $500,-000,000, is receiving charitable contributions from the ladies of Honolulu, to keep in a nourishing condition the Whale Fishery, about which there is so much boasting. It would not perhaps be modest on our part to point out to U. S. officials their duty, but we do think, for decency and humanity's sake, they had better write to Washington for new " Perhaps the newly appointed Consul—General Smith—will come with proper instructions. The only justand proper method of disposing of this troublesome and perplexing affair, is simply to protect and relieve all seamen alike who sail under our flag. Not only should the Flag protect but relieve the American and foreigner alike. They toil and endanger their lives together, to enrich our countrymen and extend our country's commerce, hence it is only fair, justand honorable that they should share alike our country's protection and relief. instructions.

It may not, however, be amiss to give you a few hints respecting the first part of your course. If you examine your chart, you will, find put down, not far from the latitude in which you now are, a most dangerous Rock, called the Rock of Intemperance, or Drunkard's Rock. This rock, on which there is a high beacon, is almost white with the bones of poor sailors who have been cast away upon it. You must be careful to give this rock a good berth, for there is a very strong current setting towards it. If you once get into that current, you will find it very difficult getting out again, and will be almost sure to strike and go to pieces. You will often find a parcel of wreckers round this rock, who will try to persuade you that it is not dangerous, arid that there is no current. But take care how you believe them. Their only object is plunder. Not far from this terrible rock, you will find marked a whirlpool, almost equally dangerous, called the .Whirlpool of Bad Company. Indeed, this whirlpool often throws vessels upon the Drunkard's Rock, as it hurries them round. It lies just outside the Gulf of Perdition, and everything which it swallows up is thrown into that Gulf. It is surrounded by several little eddies, which often draw mariners into it before they know where they are. Keep a good look out, then, for these eddies, and steer wide of this whirlpool, for it has swallowed up more sailors than ever the sea did. In fact, it is a complete Hell Gate. Besides this whirlpool and rock, there are several shoals laid down ; n your chart, which I cannot now stay to describe. Indeed, these seas are full of them, which makes sailing here extremely dangerous. If you will be sure to shun them all, and to keep clear of the terrible gulf already mentioned, you must immediately go about, make a signal for a pilot, and steer for the Straits of Repentance, which you will then see right ahead. These Straits, which are very narrow, form the only passage out of the dangerous seas you have been navigating into the great Pacific Ocean, sometimes called the Safe Sea, or Sea of Salvation, on the further shore of which lies your port. It is not very pleasant passing these Straits, and therefore many navigators have tried hard to find another passage. Indeed, some, who pretend to be pilots, will tell you there is another; but they are wrong, for the great Master Pilot himself has declared that every one who does not pass the Straits of Repentance will certainly be lost. As you pass these Straits, the spacious Bay of Faith will begin to open, on the right hand side of which you will see a high hill, called Mount Calvary. On the top of this hill stands a Light House, in the form of a cross, which by night is completely illuminated from top to bottom, and by day sends up a pillar of smoke, like a white cloud. It stands so high, that unless you deviate from the course laid down in your chart, you will never lose sight of it in any succeeding part of your voyage. At the foo#t of this Light House you will find the Pilot I have so often mentioned, waiting for you. You must by 107 all means receive him on board ; for without the winds and thunderbolts in his hand, and him, neither your own exertion, nor all the setting one foot on the sea, and the other on charts and pilots in the world, can preserve the land, while both hind and sea obey his you from fatal shipwreck. word, and tremble at his nod.

Probably this name was chosen from viewing the broad table lands of Hawaii. We learn these facts from a communication recently published in the Hawaiian Gazette, and written to His Majesty's Foreign Minister, by the Governor of Guam, or by an officer of the Spanish Government at Madrid, Spain, who was ordered by the Spanish Government to search the archives of the Colonial department and ascertain all that could be found out upon the subject. The name of the discoverer was Juan Gaetano, or Gaytan. What however appears most strange to us, is the fact that during those two hundred and twenty-three years, these islands should not have been repeatedly visited by Spanish galleons, freighted with treasure and passing from Acapulco, in Mexico, to the East Indie?. Table Hands. Hawaiian Seamen on Board American four hundred Hawaiians shipped on board American whale ships. This year the number will not probably be less. We do not well see how the whaling fleet could be fitted out unless there was this heavy draft upon the natives of these Islands. With due regard to His Majesty's native subjects, we cannot see how his officers can allow Hawaiian* thus to ship in American vessels. According to the U. S. Laws, as interpreted by U. S. Consuls at these islands, these Hawaiian seamen are not entitled to support and relief, should they be taken sick on board, and the Captain be compelled to touch and discharge them at Hongkong, Sydney, Tahiti, or any port where there is The Rev.

The pieces sung were mostly familiar American and English aire, but none were better perlormed than the stirring songs of the late war.

It is a singular but noteworthy fact that laborer! are now going forth from China, to cultivate the sugarcane in Havana, Mauritius, Sandwich Islands, and many other parts of the tropics ; to load the guano vessels at the Chincha islands ; to dig in the mines of California and Australia ; and to labor as domestics in many other parts of the world. They are a thrifty and industrious people, but intensely wedded to their ancient customs. They are a people essentially idolatrous in their religious opinions and by no means inclined to change their views and opinions upon religious subjects. Any one professing to be well-read and acquainted with the human race, but ignores the Chinese, —their habits and influence— shows that he is but partially posted up in regard to one of the most remarkable people on our globe. The book now before us appears to be exactly the one which ought to go into general circulation. It is quite impossible to treat this people justly and fairly unless their customs and habits are duly considered and carefully pondered. This is a book for the judge, the planter, the Missionary and Editor, on the Sandwich Islands, to read. The Chinese are already here and thousands more are destined to come hither. We doubt not many hundreds of little children born in China, and now picking tea-leaves or living on the rivers of China, will find their graves on Hawaiian shores. At a lute Monthly Concert at Fort Street Church, as well as on other occasions, we have heard remarks indi- cating that it was most discouraging to labor for the enlightenment of the Chinese. Our Missionaries in China have also found it no easy matter to teach the Chinese the tenets of the Christian's faith, but yet they are not discouraged. We think our readers will be interested in the following paragraphs :— The first Protestant Mission at Fuhchau was established by a missionary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in January, 1847. The Mission has averaged three or four tamilies since its commencement. In April, 1856, occurred the first baptism of a Chinaman at this city in connection with Protestant Missions. In May, 1857, a brick church, called the Church of the Savior," built on the main street in the southern suburbs, and about " The English Church Missionary Society established a mission at Fuhchau in the spring of 1850. It has met with many reverses, and has not averaged two families. Its members have always resided within the city on Black Rock Hill. It has two large chapels, located on South and Back Streets, two of the most important streets in the city. It employs two or three native helpers, and has ten or fifteen baptized Chinese under its care and instruction. Many of the small chapels, and some of the large church buildings, in connection two members were received into the first with these three Missions, whether in the church formed. During the next two years city, or in the suburbs, or at the country twenty-three persons were baptized.

"The lino* lire fallen unto me in pleasantplaces; yea, I have ■ goodly heritage."—l'sai.m xvi: 6. Among the oracular and prophetic sayings of Napoleon, while a prisoner on St. Helena, I have met with the following remarkable utterance : " Ere the close of the nineteenth century America will be convulsed by one of the greatest revolutions the world ever witnessed. Should it succeed, her powerand prestige are lost; but should the government maintain her supremacy, she will be on a firmer basis than ever. The theory of a republican form of government will be established, and she can defy the combined powers of the world." This language was uttered fifty years ago, by one whose prescience in regard to the political affairs of Europe has often been verified; but that he should have been able to have divined the future of America with such accuracy is very remarkable. We are now assembled in obedience to the invitation of the Chief Magistrate of America, after she has experienced and" successfully passed through what may be styled in Napoleonic language, one of the greatest revolutions the world ever witnessed." In view of the successful termination of that mighty convulsion and civil commotion, most surely Americans at home and abroad are most solemnly bound to observe an annual day of public and national Thanksgiving so long as the Republic shall last, and the flag of the Union be seen among the nations of the earth. The appointment of this day for rendering thanks to God, indicates that, as a nation, the Americans have, through their Chief Magistrate, wiped off the reproach that God's Providence was not recognized in our national councils. A most beautiful and simple method has been adopted for acknowledging our dependence. On our national coins, hereafter the motto will be found, In God we trust." Although 1 stand not to-day upon American soil, yet with the feelings of a loyal and patriotic citizen of the Republic, I would speak in the name of every true American, and say, in the language of David, are fallen unto me in pleasant " The lines places ; yea, 1 have a goodly heritage." I have selected as a theme of discourse on " " �iii 2 this occasion, The American's itage WORTHY OF AN ANNUAL goodly i; her- THANKSGIVING. A heritage implies ancestors. The American may look back to those of whom he may be justly proud. " The glory of children," snith the wise man, "are their fathers." The fathers ofthe North American Republic were men who made the most ample provision that a goodly heritage should be the portion of the American citizen through all coining time. Even before the foundations of our national independence were laid by the actors in the scenes of the Revolution of '76, their nncestors contributed their share so to shape coming events, that a noble inheritance should descend to their children and their children's children. The planting of the American Colonies by the chosen men of England in the seventeenth century, is one of the marked providences in American annals. Our poet Longfellow quaintly expresses this idea : "God liuil silteil three kingdoms fo find wheat for this planting, Then had sifted the wheat, as the living seed of a nation ; So say the chroniclers old. and such the faith of the people.'' The goodly heritage of Americans in the nineteenth century, is the natural ripening harvest of the seed sown in the seventeenth. The Republic of America, or the American Union, is the natural growth of certain fixed principles ofcivil a"hd religious liberty. When writers, politicians or statesmen take any other view of the nation, they are doomed to learn, sooner or laler, that they have made a glaring mistake or great blunder. Hence the falsity of the views and opinions expressed by so many European writers and statesmen during the late rebellion. They did not understand the genius and character of the government of America. The recent correspondence between Earl Russell and the historian Mr. Bancroft, sets forth this point in the clearest lighi. It has been proved true, beyond all questioning, that something stronger than a " rope of sand " bound the Union together. When the hour of peril and the Ship of State seemed ready— plunging through seas ofanarchy and trouble, revolution and civil war—to dash upon the rock of disunion, then there was a glorious uprising of the people, and they rallied to the defense of the government. The people's army took the field, and their sailors manned the fleet, firmly resolved that the contest should not cease until, in the language of one of the poets of the war, it might be said, came, " The good ship Union's voyage is o'er. At anchor sale she swings, And loud and clear with Open on cheer. Her joyous welcome rings Oneflag, one land, one heart, mm /uiiwi, One nation, evermore.'' : !:ly do I acknowledge myself among ber of those who deem it eminently g and proper for American citizens, and abroad, to observe an annual rjving to Almighty God for having that glorious Union of thirty-six nd nine Territories to be preserved, that not only the welfare of Ameriintimately associated and connected preservation of that Union, but milDther lands hare much occasion to lat " the theory of a republican form nment " has been established, and i r 11; \i> . i\ \ i \ \\\ that now, in the language words, of the exile of St. is§ the prophetic Helena, America or "can defy the combined powers of the world." I do not quote these words of Napoleon in the way of vain boasting, but as expressive of the tact that our country's libcrtiesare now established upon a firm basis. As Americans, we have a siable and firm government, for which it is becoming to be truly thankful. Strength of the (.<mnunnit Scvcrel} To-led. Never was any human government sub- mitted to severer tests than have been brought to bear upon it during the late civil war.

Just at that moment when ■• (irim-visaged war hud smoothed his wrinkled Iron!." %, The African's Mtutgiiire upon the l.ondlv Heritage. The crowning act of President Lincoln-; administration was his Emancipation Proclamation, and for that grateful acknowledgments should be rendered on each recurring annual Thanksgiving so long as the Republic of America shall continue an independent nation. It was, to be sure, a goodly heritage which the early colonists and the fathers of the Republic had bequeathed to the present generation, but that heritage was encumbered by a heavy mortgage. It was not a mortgage held by the Rothschilds or any rich banker, but it was a mortgage held by the poor and enslaved African for unpaid wages. It was not a claim which could be paid off with greenbacks, or,the gold of California. It was a claim which the noble statesmen of the Revolution and the fathen of the Republic had acknowledged. The African held in his hand the mortgage with their endorsement. As a private citizen, George Washington acknowledged and paid his portion of the just claim, by his will emancipating his own slaves ; but he did not do this as President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson, too, acknowledged the claim when he declared, " I tremble for my country when I reflect that there is a just God." The copatriots of Washington and Jefferson acknowledged the claim as just, but still they did not take the necessary steps for liquidating the same. As years rolled away this claim increased in magnitude. The interest was more than annually compounded. The time was approaching when foreclosure must take place. The spirit of the age, humanity and Christianity, urjjed a settlement. There was, of course, a powerful resistance, and hence arose the " irrepressible conflict." There was one, and only one, right method of paying the debt or liquidating the claim, but this was refused on the part of the debtors. As God's armed host, demanding payment, one million of soldiers marched to the tune of " John Brown." A continent resounded with their heavy tramp—" Tramp, tramp, tramp." The solemn indictment against the nation is thus acknowledged in President Lincoln's second inaugunil: If God wills that the war continue until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said, ' The judgments of the Lord arc true and righteous altogether.' " The Priceless Jewel lironghl forth to P»y the Debt. Shall the debt be paid ? The President, as the Chief Magistrate of the Republic, had in possession, or in the nation's casket, one priceless jewel which would liquidate the claim. Shall that jewel be brought forth ? Do you ask the name of that jewel ? I answer, " Liberty "—liberty to all held in slavery. President Lincoln brought forth this jewel, and publicly paid the national debt to the African race when he signed the " Emancipation Proclamation." The loyal people of the North finally approved of President Lincoln's method of paying the debt, although it and the triumphant army under Grant had conquered the relx-l army under Lee, and Sherman's veterans were approaching from the South, then, when therebels were laying down their arms from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, ah, then it was that one test more must be brought to bear upon our Republic. The key-stone of the arch must be displaced. Our beloved President must fall by the hand of an assassin. Surely now, if ever, the enemies of the Republic will triumph. The arch must fall, for the key-stone is gone! But no ; —the most keen sighted cannot perceive that the arch even trembles. Almost visibly the hand ol Divine Providence is seen stretched out to steady the noble structure. The whole civilized world looks on with wonder and amazement at the stability and strength of a republican form of government. Although the shock was as sudden, and the blow as unexpected as a thunderbolt in a clear sky, or the midnight earthquake that lately shook our dwellings, yet the vast machinery of government moves forward without the least friction or the least apparent perturbation. An event which, in most countries and under any other form of government, would have produced anarchy and revolution, did not produce even the least perceptible decline in the value of public securities, the most sensitive and delicate spring in the machinery of human governments. As we look back to that most atrocious deed in the annals of the Republic, we find abundant occasion for gratitude and thanksgiving to the Almighty Ruler among the nations of the earth. How wonderfully that event has been overruled for good ! The blood of the martyred President has done more to heal the wounds of the Republic than he could possibly have done had his life been spared and his influence in the councils of the nation been increased a thousand fold. Abraham Lincoln,after his second election, had become the idol of the loyal people of the great Republic. As it has been aptly said, " The instinct of the people was right. Widows and mothers blessed him. Three millions of people hailed him as their emancipator. The nation trusted him wholly. They rested on him as with a filial feeling, and when he died the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific was draped in such a mourning as the sun had never looked down upon. Henceforth his character will blend required defeats and reverses, and the long with that of Washington in its moulding in- and severe discipline of four years of war, to fluence on the times to come.''—President educate them up to the point of fully sustaining the measure.

Though dead, those falling on so many battle-fields, yet speak in the ears of the living,inspiring them with increased zeal, loyalty and patriotism.

It is most gratifying to know that the general government is doing so much to guard, beautify and adorn these sacred spots. They will render our goodly heritage more and more valuable and sacred. not Prnsperlt) of the t.oodh Heritage. Turning from the scenes of war, it is most becoming, on an occasion like this, to glance an observing eye over the broad States and Territories of the Republic, and behold the untold evidences of abounding wealth, unexampled prosperity, vigorous enterprise, and generous benevolence. The land teems with plenty. Overflowing granaries, on the prairies of the West, are supplying freights to European bound ships. Manufactories of all Kinds are multiplying in every part of the country. Skilled artisans from other lands are hurrying forward to contribute their knowledge of handicraft to make America one of tiie first manufacturing nations upon earth. Electric telegraph, steamboat and railroad companies are pushing forward their enterprises in every part of the widely exthat the peotended country. It is ple are struggling to accumulate and invest material wealth. Educational interests are not lost sight of. Congress has established a Bureau of Education,and the several States are vicing with each other to bring home the blessintrs of common school instruction to every child and youth, irrespective of class or color. All the higher literary institutions of the land have been advanced and richly endowed during and since the close of the war. Funds, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, have bee*; placed at the disposal of the trustees of Harvard, Vale, Amherst, and many other of the colleges of New England and the Northern States. The cause of education at the South has taken a start in the right direction. No longer are lour millions of American citizens to be de- nied the privilege of learning to read. Even among the masters of the slaves a desire, in some place*, has been awakened to instruct the freedmen. 1 notice, for example, that the citizens of Oxford, Miss., recently held a public meeting, at which spirited resolutions were passed, setting forth the importance of educating the colored population, for thus they reason : The right of suffrage Will, in all probability, be given to this people at some future day ; ignorant voters are the curse of our country ; if we do not teach them, some one else will,and whoever thus benefits them will win an influence over them which will control their votes." This is sound doctrine, and I am rejoiced to learn that such leaven is permeating the Southern mind. May God hasten the day when education shall uni- " versally prevail! It is also highly gratifying that the interests of true religion are voluntarily supported by the American.

The Hawaiian has found in the true American a friend. It is a most interesting, as well as stubborn fact, that the Hawaiian and American have always dwelt together the liest of friends and neighbors. The American yields to no one on Hawaiian shores the palm of having liecn a more staunch supporter of the kingly authority. On this day of national Thanksgiving, as Americans, we can as cordially give thanks for the prcscrv- ing access among all thenations of the earth. With increasing wealth, influence, territory, and all those elements contributing to the formation of a great arid powerful nation, there is accompanied a momentous responsibility. The United States of North America have come forward to occupy their proud position among the nations at an eventful period in the world's history. The true and loyal American regards the " goodly heritage " which has been bequeathed to him as a patrimony which must not be squandered or wasted, but one to be enriched and improved, to lie handed down unimpaired to the generations which are to follow. " Advance then, ye future generations." We can join in theeloquent peroration of Mr. Webster, when addressing those assembled on the22d of December, 1820, to celebrate the landing of the Pilgrims : " Advance then, ye future generations.

THE FRIfiND. JANUARY 1, 1807. Another ANewaYendrVolume. With the New Year, we commence the Twenty-fourth Volume of " The Friend." Under the smiles of a kind Providence and the continued support of our domestic and foreign subscribers and donors, we are enabled to meet all our pecuniary liabilities and start upon the new year hopeful and buoyant. We do not cease to be cheered by the assurance that our monthly sheet is cordially welcomed among seamen and foreigners scattered among the islands of Polynesia. The Friend was first issued on the ISth of January, 1843, so that it is now, by several years the oldest paper published at the islands, of upon the Pacific coast. The first newspaper issued in California appeared in 1846, or a little more than twenty years ago. Our aim for the future, may be learned from our former practice, and still hoping to receive the continued patronage of our subscribers and donors, we send forth our first r.umber on this First Day of January, Anno Domini 1567. We think many of our readers will with interest the "Reminiscences peruse C. of Brewer & C0.," published in another portion of oursheet. Merchants may enter upon their enterprises and money-schemes primarily from selfish purposes, but when they pursue those enterprises upon high and honorable principles, they become public benefactors. For a firm to maintain a good name —meeting all its engagements and conducting all its business honestly,—reflects credit upon its members, and the public is served. Although this firm has changed its name repeatedly, yet the House remains, somewhat upon the principle that the ship is the same ship, although its timbers and musts have all been renewed, or the Yankee's boy's knife was the same, although he had at one time bought a new blade and at another a new handle! In a letter which we recently received from Mr. Hunnewell, the founder ot this J louse, he refers to it as the first independent mercantile concern established in Honolulu. " If it can be made to appear," he writes under date of Oct. 19th, IS6C, " that there win- older or better concerns, or Mercantile Houses, I will give it up. Mr. French was fitted away from Canton, by Messrs. James P. Sturgis & Co., and came out there (Honolulu) in°thc same year, (182(5,) but I did not consider this as an independent concern, until IS3O, when Messrs. Sturgis & Co. withdrew their patronage from Mr. French, and without my knowledge, consent or solicitation (and I may add undesired) patronized me by sending tnc a full cargo by the brig "Active." This did not make me the less independent. There is one fact in this connection, I will mention, as far as 1 know there has never been any failure of any firm in the succession, or of any individual of the several firms in this succession, for forty years, while they continued connected with the House. This I believe to be true, and it is a very gratifying fact to me, and with all my heart I will say Lung may the worthy successors and their successors, continue to be successful and true." The business-transactions of this House, during the long period of its existence must have amounted to several millions of dollars. Its ramifications must have extended to all parts of the world—America, China, Europe, —as well as the Pacific. We are satisfied that success could not thus have attended the concern, through so many years and : changes, unless their business affairs had been conducted upon a sound basis and honorable mercantile principles. It lias not been a House to branch off into wild speculations. We have known several of its Book-keepers, who were A 1" in their " profession—Fayerweather, Baker, Dorninis, Peterson, and others. We recollect once to have entered the Counting Room of C. B. & Co., and heard Mr. Baker, the Book-keeper remark, that he had spent two weeks hunting for two cents, and we learned that he subsequently for days continued his search, but was finally rewarded! We doubt not he was equally rejoiced with Archimedes of old, when making a certain discovery, he ran through the streets exclaiming, "Eureka, Eureka !" "I have found it, I have found it!" Our object in thus referring to this House, has not been merely to speak well of honorable merchants, whose career we have watched with pleasure, but to call the attention of our young merchants and clerks to the fact that success is compatible with honest, honorable and straight forward dealing. " A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches," says Solomon, but if riches come with a good name; then let the favored ones be thankful, and " use this world as not abusing it," but generously distributing to make their fellow men happy. We will merely add, that these paragraphs have been written without any suggestion from any persons connected with the House, or any one else. We have other mercantile houses in Honolulu equally honorable and trustworthy, and when they have existed forty years we shall be glad to notice them in our columns. EDT ITOR'S ABLE.

My heart shrunk within me when I contemplated my undertaking. The delay was bringing it into winter before I should get away, and a wintry puaage through the Straits of Magellan was anything but pleasant and encouraging. Much was also said to me respecting the vessel, that was very trying and discouraging. "Mr arrangements being completed, I left my wife and friends (1 could not take leave of them) and embarked, leaving Boston on the day of January, 182(i.

I had left my old Thaddeua premises in the charge of Mr. Stephen Reynolds, and was surprised and disappointed to find that he had sold the premises to Major Warren for the nominal sum of less titan $70. They were occupied by Major Warren as a public-house when you arrived there in IS3O. I then purchased the present C. Brewer premises from John Cowon for the sum of $250, to which I added some hind by exchange' in l&'JO. "As soon*as I secured this place, I landed my cargo, and commenced retailing it, and demanded of the Island government pay lor the claims which 1 held on them for various parties, and found my most sanguine anticipations respecting business mo/c than realized. In addition to this, Governor Boki, in behalf of the Island government, urged me strongly to take my choice of either of their then line brigs, and make a voyage to China for the government, leaving it lor me to name my own terms, and agreed to purchase or sell the whole of my cargo, collect all the debts for which 1 had claims, in or lor the out ners of the brig Thaddcus, and for Bryant & Sturgis, for the Cleopatra's Barge and others. In a short time 1 had the consignment of the cargo of one of Messrs. Bryant & Sturgis' ships, and continued to receive all the business, and even more than I required. In October, IS2B, Captain Marcus T. Peirce, an old and intimate friend, arrived in the brig Griffin from the north-west coast. He gave up the command of his vessel to Captain M. W. Green, he preferring to return home. Before doing so, he requested me to take charge of his younger brother, 11. A. Peirce, who had been a l>oy and clerk with him. I agreed to take him, and paid him $25 per month and board until September, 1830, when I gave him a share in the profits—not intending to make him a partner, though it was virtually making him one. 1 then left him in charge, and started for home on the 20th of November. 1830, intending to " �return there again in 1832 and resume the •barge but year afteryear passed away, and finally 1 decided to remain at home, and Mr. ; Peirce accepted my offer to loan him funds enough to enable him to carry on the business himself as he had carried it on for me, and take the establishment at an appraised value. This done, Peirce took Mr. Hinckley as a partner ; but Mr. H. was soon compelled to retire on account of his health, and died before he reached home. Mr. Charles Brewer, whose history you well know, next became a partner. Mr. Brewer arrived out (on his third voyage) in November, 1830, as mate of the brig Ivan/toe with Captain Snow, just liefore I left for home.

JANUARY, 1867. 8 Intelligence from Micronesia. We regret to learn that three Hawaiian seamen were inhumanly murdered on the Island of Butaritari, one of the Gilbert Islands. They bejonged to the schooner Pfeil. The accounts, as yet received*, do not appear to explain very satisfactorily the origin of the massacre. That is an island which has never been occupied by any American missionaries, and the Hawaiians went there only a few years ago.. They have been removed, and it remains to be decided by the Hawaiian Board of Missions whether the station will again be taken. A brighter prospect opens up in other parts of Micronesia. We have received letters from the Rev. B. G. Snow at Ebon, Marshall Islands, dated on the 30th of June and 23d of July; from the Rev. E. T. Doanc on Ponape, or Ascension, dated October 2d, and from the Rev. Mr. Sturges dated August 15th and October Bth. All these communications breathe a spirit of hope and encouragement. Never has the cause of Christian missions on those islands appeared more hopeful than at the present time. The Rev. Mr. Doane thus writes under date of October 2d: " Our good work has pressed upon us, so that we have had no time to sigh for something to do. At the risk ofrepeating an old story, let me justgive you hurriedly the story of the past. Thirteen years ago the first missionaries, Messrs. Sturges and Gulick, landed on this island. 'What darkness then reigned! Not a single native soul on the island knew aught of God. Not one.knew how to pray to the Great Intercessor ; not one that knew a single letter, or had ever read a word in their own language. But now, behold the change ! Now the native population is gathered into churches, and walking in the ordinances of the Lord. Three thousand, or one-halfthe population, have declared themselves on our side. Most of them are praying people, regarding the Sabbath as the Lord's day. Many of them are able to read the books which have been prepared for them. Of these, we can number the Gospels of Luke and John, the Acts of the Apostles, books of sacred narratives, hymn-books and primers by thousands. Some in our school are learning arithmetic, geography, singing, and Bible chronology. All are making good progress. missionaries see perhaps even a hter picture, certainly one that touches hearts ; it is the readiness with which natives gather about us for instruction asking for books, papers, slates, &c. The been when for neither love nor ey, could I get a single native into my ly, but with my own hands have wrought the wash-tub! The native food, too, sold to us at prices far beyond its worth, tow all is changed. The picture has an- MWe ihas — other shading. As we go about the island proclaiming the glad tidings and preaching the Kingdom of Christ, the natives freely help us. The glorious temperance reform has gone along with this good work. The awa, you know, is a common plant on all, or nearly all the high islands of the Pacific. It is a root, the juice of which semi-intoxicates or stupefies. Three thousand teetotalers from the use of awa, and all other liquors, have come over to our side, or to the Christian party. Had I time, I could give many inter- MARINE JOURNAL. POHNRLTFUI S, . . ARRIVALS. He. esting particulars." The Rev. Mr. Snow writes most encouragingly respecting the work of Missions on Strong's Island, or Kusaie. On the Alarshall Islands, the cause of Missions is gaining the ascendency. It affords us unspeakable delight to learn these facts, for if ever missionaries had worked on through " a night of toil," they have been the American and Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia. — DEPARTURES.

Among some persons there appears to be an impression, that seamen when sick and destitute, are "paupers upon the Government of the United .States. Never was any opinion more unfounded. No class of American citizens is compelled, by law, to make such ample provision for sickness and destitution. All merchant seamen are compelled by the laws of the United States, to pay 20 cents per month, during every one of their voyages. When we consider the immense mercantile marine of the United States, the sum thus collected amounts to hundreds of thousands. The port collectors receive this money, and pay it over to the Government, which expends the same in supporting those large and expensive Marine Hospitals in the various ports of the United States. It should be borne in mind, that these Hospitals are the fruits of the sailor's hard earnings, hence when the sailor—sick and destitute—becomes an inmate, he is no pauper, but a proprietor, enjoying the benefits of a hospital, his own earnings have erected. So when seamen of the United States, in foreign countries, are compelled to seek the protection and relief of the Consulate, they sppear not as paupers, but as citizens who may justly claim, not a poor, meagre, and beggarly support, but a comfortable and respectable support. The Consul is instructed by the Government to Open Despatch to the Secretary pay special attention to the sailor's wants State at Washington. and necessities. " One essential object," as web-feet be we read in the Consul's Manual, "of the Consular appointment is the protection of American Mariners—a class of our fellow citizens whose habits of life require a kind guardianship of their persons and interest in foreign countries, but at the same time a strict vigilance over their conduct." The United States Government compels the sailor to lay up a portion of his money, in order, to provide for sickness and destitution. From this it appears, when officers of the Government, on American soil, or Consular officers abroad, misapply these funds held, in trust, by the Government, the offence is of the worst description. It is a crime, which should be surely punished as much as that ot a saving's bank defaulter, who has in charge the earnings of the poor laborer. No man pays his way through this world more honorably or by harder work than the sailor, and to treat him as a pauper, or make him feel that he is such, is unbecoming any officer of the Government of the United States, or any other government. We rejoice that it is our privilege to live in a community where there is a wholesome public sentiment upon this subject. Our Sailor's Home is a monument to the benevolence of this community towards the sailor. Mrs. Crabb, keeper of the Home, the widow of a mnrine officer of the United States Navy, who came to Honolulu as Navy Agent, we rejoice, to know, has the highest interest of the sailor for time and eternity, at heart, and we hope when the United States Hospital is discontinued, the Consul will send seamen to the Home, when detained here, but not under the necessity of going to the Hospital. P. S. Since writing the above paragraph, we learn that the Marine Fund of the United States amounts to «18,000,000! Surely Jack is no pauper on the cold charities of the world!! •• Nor must Uncle Pain's of forgotten." President Lincoln. To Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State : The undersigned has frequently been requested, by an officer of the United States Government, to address you upon certain questions relating to the treatment of foreign seamen sailing under the United States flag, I have hitherto declined doing so, from the impression that any representation which I could make would not probably be read except by some under clerk in the State Department, and my labor would be lost. Instead of sending my communication through the usual channel,! have thought it would not be regarded as improper to address you through the columns of a paper which has, during the last quarter of a century, been devoted to the interests and welfare of seamen. While conducting this paper I have, in a special manner, kept American seamen in view, but I have never lost sight of the sea. men of other nations. The facts are simply these It is well known that a large number of foreign sea. men are engaged on board of American vessels. This is especially true of American whaleships cruising in the Pacific Ocean and touching at the Sandwich Islands for recruits. There is either a defect in the laws of the United States in regard to foreign seamen shipped on board whaleships, or there is a wrong interpretation of those laws. In the application and practical working of those laws, upon a fair estimate, nearly, if not more, than one half of those serving on board of American whaleships as seamen, are thrown outside of the pale of relief in case they are sick and disabled. The laws as now interpreted, do not allow relief to be administered by the Consul to foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports to be discharged in foreign ports. Any one acquainted with the character of the crews of whaleships, will readily see that this riding of the United States Consul shut outs all Polynesians (or kanakas) and a vast number of Portuguese seamen. These two classes, Polynesian and Portuguese, will make up good one half of the seamen on board the sixty or : ' �TOE 10 seventy whaleships which touched at Honolulu last fall. I make the statement without fear of contradiction, that the successful prosecution of the American whale fishery in this ocean, is absolutely dependent upon these men— these foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports, and to be discharged in ports foreign to the United States. The whole matter of shipping and discharging seamen attached to American whaleships has undergone a revolution during the last few years. When whaleships leave New Bedford and other American ports, they sail short-harmed, touch at some of the Portuguese islands in the Atlantic and fill up their crews. The ships come around the Horn, to remain in this part of the world for several years, but almost every year the crews entirely change —the process of discharging and shipping crews is constantly going forward while these ships are abroad. It must readily appear to any one acquainting himself with the facts, that many of the crews eventually are made up of Portuguese and Kanakas who never stepped upon American soil and never expect to go thither. These men are however toiling and spending their lives under the American flag, but without enjoying the relief of American seamen, when sick and disabled. The result is that many seamen are turned away from the United States Consulate, and compelled to seek relief from the community at large, who should be in the United States Hospital. Persons of this description are now in Honolulu. Mrs. Crabb, at the Sailors' Home, and theLadies' Strangers' Friend Society, of Honolulu, come in to assist the United States Government to support sick and disabled seamen. Cases are constantly occurring in Honolulu, wherein the United States Government ought to furnish relief, but we are told, according to instructions from Washington, relief cannot be afforded. The subject was thoroughly discussed several years ago, and Mr. Severance, the United States Commissioner, wrote to Washington upon the subject. At his suggestion the American ladies of Honolulu sent a petition to Congress. This petition was numerously signed, and 1 have the impression it was presented while you was a member of the Senate. (See copy of petition annexed.) This occurred in 1853. As a result, United States Consuls at the Sandwich Islands have provided for and relieved foreign seamen sailing under our flag until a recent date, but a more stringent application of the law has now been enforced, and it works very hard upon this class of seamen. The following note, which I recently received from the attending physician of the Queen's Hospital, may be taken as an illustration of cases which are frequently occurring in Honolulu: — "Mb. Damon, Dear Sir: Will yon lie good enough to interest yourself in behalf of this poor fellow, lie is far gone with consumption ; arrived sick here two mouths ago in an American whaleship, and was refused admittance into the American Seamen's Hospital, because be was a foreigner and had only shipped tor the season. Our little Hawaiian Government would not cast tbe man oil, if be had arrived in an Hawaiian vessel under these circumstances. It would be a shame If tbe great American Government should cast him off! As a change has taken place in the management of the American Hospital, perhaps you will find it possible to procure the man's admittance, and thereby much oblige Yours. Ac., W. Himjchkand." riiiKM).

For myself, as an American, to receive a j Consuls of the United States upon this subnote like this makes the blush of shame to ject, and my views are fully expressed in the cover my face, when I know that this same j annexed paragraphs (see Enclosure No. 2), physician is in daily attendance upon u native born citizen of Boston, who is now under the protection and relief of the British Consulate simply because he shipped on board a British vessel in New York and came to the Pacific under the British flag. Now, 1 desire to witness a similar rule adopted and carried out with regard to foreign seamen shipping under the American flag. I tielieve the true doctrine to be that the flag relieves as wtll as protects those sailing under it. I copy as follows from the United States Consuls' Manual, page 234: "The rule laid down by the distinguished person who first held the office of Secretary of State, Mr. Jefferson, was ' That the vessel being published in August, 1860, about the time the Queen's Hospital was established in Honolulu. Allow me to call your attention to a topic which is, at the present time, occupying the thoughts of the Americans located upon these Islands. By the annexed table, recently published in the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, you will see a tabular view of the sugar plantations, and the amount of capital invested in them. Probably threefourths of these plantations are owned by American citizens. The products of these plantations find a market on the Western Coast of America—in California, Oregon, Washington Territory and the British Provinces. According to a careful estimate, the revenue derived by the United States on our Island products amounts to nearly $500,000. Our planters, and Americans generally, upon these Islands, are exceedingly anxious that there should be some modification of the American, shall be evidence that the seamen on board are such,' and fifty years afterwards it was restated with no less precision by one of the most eminent of American statesmen, ' that in every regularly documented merchant vessel, the crew who navi- present treaty between the United States and gate it will find their protection in the flag this Kingdom, so that it may operate favorwhich is over them.'

No American vessels of war have since visited Ascension. The " Pirate " Shenandoah visited that island in 1865,and destroyed four American whaleships. This fact is well known. Many other islands have been left outside of the cruises of our naval vessels.

KKititt tin The Friend i. iubl. Now the Oldest Paper in I, No. 1,of the Friend, appeared the 18th of January, 1843. The following summary statement of newspapers at the Islands, and on the coast, we copy from the Advertiser. It is interesting to notice the rapid increase of newspapers during the last few years. A great change has taken place within about twenty years, or since the first newspaper, in 1846, was issued in California. We believe the Alta may justly claim to be the legitimate •successor of the Californian, edited by the Rev. Walter Colton, at Monterey, in 1846, nnd published by Colton nnd Semple. The first number of the Californian contained the Proclamation of the President of the United States declaring war against Mexico. A summary of California news, we published from the Californian, on the 15th of September, 1846 ! During the Mexican war, the inhabitants of Honolulu, were twelve months without receiving news or letters from Boston! TO r.vcirir NKwsr.U'Kii I'kksw.—Although hardthe Pacific.—Volume United States Hospital.—For the honor of the United States Government, we do sincerely hope the old hospital system is to be forever broken up. We lenrn from the Gazettethat A. D. Cartwright, Esq., the late Pun veyor, has resigned his position, and the United States Consul hns applied to the Trustees of the Queen's Hospital and Sailors' Home for their lowest terms. Replies have already been returned, and now we hope that private individual?, or United States Government officials, will be forever debarred from amassing fortunes out of the proceeds of the Hospital. The only proper method, and one free from all chance of peculation, is to send sick United States sailors to tho Queen's Hospital, and those in health (hut under the care of the Consulate,) to the Home. This has been our settled opinion for years. In this way the Government will not be defrauded, or the sailor ill-treated. We are confident that the policy of the United States Government is to do well for the sailor, and thereby promote the prosperity of the commerce of the country.

We have been favored with the following summary, by a passenger per the Nimrod. Australia, especially the colonies of New South Wales and Queensland, are at present suffering a period ol depression. The causes of this are various, Such as several seasons of drought, the monetary crisis in London, overtrading, the failure of leading business houses, and the undue extent to which immigration from the old country was assisted. Numbers are now leaving the different colonies for California. A new education bill has passed the lower house in New South Wales, founded on the American system, which, with slight modifications, is likely to become law. It meets with popular approval, .though opposed by the clergy of the churches of England and Rome, who cling to the present plan of grant for denominational schools. All churches are dependent for support on the voluntary " principle, though an effort "was made during the present session of Parliament, to return to the endowment schemes of former days. The various branches of Presbyterians have formed a Union, and are making greater efforts lo evangelize the interior. Of the Congregational churches, (in number about 18.) two-thirds are in Sydney and suburbs, and next to nothing is done in the Home Mission work. In Victoria and South Australia, much more has been done ; the number of their churches is larger and distributed more through the country. There are also about a dozen churches in Tasmania, and as many in New Zealand. The Congregattonalists have three Theological Seminaries in Australasia—one at Sydney, another at Melbourne, and a third at Hobart-town. These have half-a-dozen students each, educating as Ministers or .Missionaries. It is intended to train the London Society's Missionaries for the South Seas in the Colonies, rather than to send them out from England. There are agents for the Society residing in Melbourn and Sydney. Missionaries visit these places to recuperate, and several superanuated Missionaries reside there. The John Williams; a beautiful vessel, costing some £10,000. recently visited the d.fferent Colonies, and proceeded with five Missionaries and their wives to the Islands, but running on to a reef was obliged to put back to Sydney for repairs. The various religious bodies, except the * Congregationalists, have their denominational organs in Melbourne or Sydney. The temperance movement makes little progress in these Colonies. Perhaps a half of the Presbyterian. Methodist, Baptist and Congregationalist Ministers in Sydney are abstainers ; " but the drinking usages "oftotal "shouting" and " noblerizing " are the fruitful cause of crime, vice, disease and poverty. It is almost impossible to find any but "a drunken doctor" at the diggings, and it is sad to meet with multitudes of iMPoitT.vxT Decision.—The full Court Tuesday rendered an important decision upon two soils brought by Got.

Since our last Annual Meeting the management of the Home has been left to the Executive Committee, and those who conducted the boarding department. The Chairman of the Executive Committee would submit tbe following brief report: At our last Annual Meeting the Treasurer reported a deficiency of $23 59, but as the Trustees retired from the meeting, one of them, Capt. D. Smith, left a donation of $20, which, together with another donation of $25, by Melchers & Co. (unintentionally omitted in the report), enabled the Society to start upon the labors of a new year free from debt. The present state of our finances will be reported by our Treasurer. I am happy to report that the necessary funds have been forthcoming to pay the salary of the keeper of the Reading Room and meet the ordinary incidental expenses. The past year is the first thai an efficient and judicious keeper of the Reading Room and Depository has ever been employed throughout the whole year. The labors of Mr. Dunscombe have been of essential service in rendering the Home a desirable place of resort for boarders and other seamen who have visited the Home for the purpose of writing letters and obtaining useful reading matter when they were about to sail. It is sincerely to be hoped that Mr. Dunscombe, or some other person equally well qualified, will continue to be employed by the Society. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were the managers of the Home one year ago, but soon after our Annual Meeting, their health failing, they sold out their interest to Mrs. Crabb p.nd son. who immediately took possession. As under former managers, so now—under the management of Mrs. Crabb and her son —the Home has been kept open for boarding and lodging seamen, or any transient boarders or travelers. So far as is known, Mrs. Crabb and her son have fully carried out the design of the friends and patrons of this establishment. As it has been with former managers, so they have found that there were many trials and difficulties attending the proper management of the Home. The losses by boarders, who have left without settling their bills, has operated to discourage and dampen their zeal, still they have persevered, and are still inclined to do all in their power to render this house a real blessing to the seafaring and resident community. In glancing over the years which have elapsed since the Home was opened for boarders, too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Mrs. Thrum, Mrs. Oat, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Crabb. Those four ladies have done more to render the Home a success than all other friends of the establishment. They have lived here, toiled here, and often been compelled to put up with instances of ingratitude which I should be ashamed to record. Yet these good women have surmounted the peculiar and perplexing difficulties of their station, and accomplished much good. For one i regret that the funds at our disposal will not .justify us in making them some handsome testimonial. We ought, I think, to do this—raise a few hundred dollars to refit »nd repaint the inside of the Home. Some little aid of this kind would very much encourage the managers. This is not, neitherhas it ever been, a moneymaking concern, and at times barely has it been sustained. The losses by bad debts have always amounted to nearly ten per cent, on the whole amount of receipts. Even under the very best management lossess occur, hence it will appear that the managers are the most generous contributors for the support of the Home, yet on no account would I see the Home broken up. Its usefulness is great. Speaking in mercantile style, for the amount invested it is the best paying institution in Honolulu. Hoping that it may still prosper, I submit the foreS. C.

AFriendly Letter from the South Seas. ) Mangaia, South Pacific, Friend, left here by whaling captains. Its pages have made the names of many of our American brethren very familiar to us, and has led us often to plead at the throne of grace for a continuance of the marked prosperity enjoyed by them in their Master's work. Especially do I feel interested in the labors of our American friends in Melanesia, seeing that our own way seems to be completely hedged up at present, both in Eastern and Western Polynesia. The only chance of our doing anything at the present time seems to be to advance towards the line, and there to shake hands with you in all love and Christian fellowship. You are probably aware that our teachers have been expelled from the Loyalty Islands by the French. But if the Lord of lhe harvest should deign to give us a little employment in the islets south of the line, but north of Samoa, we shall be deeply thankful. For it is only as Christian churches work for their Master that they can be said to live at all. Doubtless these little islands (Ellice's group, dec.) have been too long neglected. God grant that this work may progress in these seas, despite all hindrances, until every South Sea Islander shall know and love the Saviour's name. Although late, permit me to congratulate you and all the friends of liberty on the glorious conclusion of the fearful struggle the North was engaged in. You have now indeed a history to write. I felt as much afflicted by the news of the cowardly assassination of that noble man, President Lincoln, as though he had been our own sovereign. America may well be proud ol the martyred champion of freedom. I cannot help thanking God that the great question of slavery has been virtually settled on the vast American continent. In this sentiment I am sure that all my brethren in these seas would cordially unite. You may have heard of the hurricane that completely desolated Rarotonga and Mangaia on March 27th ult. Two churches were laid low, and two hundred and sixtyeight native reed houses were blown down. Trees and truits of all kinds were demolished. A great scarcity of food prevails over the island nt the present time. But for the taro the people must have perished. Through God's mercy that was spared. A schooner, the Lraine, of Tahiti, unhappily went down off this village with ten souls on board. Three white men (two out the three were Americaus, but I could not learn their names) were amongst the lost. The captain was on shore weather-bound; could not possibly get over the reef. We knew nothing of the sad event until the day following, when two natives floated ashore alive on the cook's galley. Alas, for the poor fellows hurried at a moment's notice into eternity. This island now seems restored to its former state—the churches are restored; the native dwellings are for the most part set up again—but it will be long ere the hurricane of March. 1866, will be forgotten by us or the people. In March 1846, our previous hurricane occurred, just twenty years inter- Hervev Islands, Sept. 29, 1566. { Dear Brother \—A few weeks ai;o I received, via Tahiti, a kind note from you, dated August, 1865; also, a volume of Macaulay, with quite a number of Friends, ice., for which accept my best thanks.

Kanagawa, Oct. 12, 1866. Dear Mr. Damon:—Thankful am I for your welcome letter from Honolulu, and to know that our fate was a matter of more than passing interest. God help the shipwrecked T*o one, save those who have been in such peril, knows what trials and dangers beset the lives of those who go down My ' to the sea. The particulars of the wreck of the Libelle will have reached you ere this, and I will but revert to the occasion to say that it has added a period of twenty years to our lives. The kindness, generosity and humanity displayed by the Governor of Guam is beyond all praise. Francisco Moscosa y Lara, his name will indeed long live in our memory, and his attention to the Hawaiian subjects who were of our party will no doubt receive the attention of His Majesty. The letter for Manjero was given to his wife, but as he is in the war you may not hear from him for some time. Kisaboro is in Canton, the guest of the Governor. His visit to foreign countries has proved a blessing to his country already. The price of rice having become so high, owing to the war, that poor people find it hard to live, Kisaboro has been in correspondence with the Government, nnd al- Government Gazette, it appears that on the 7th of December, 1866, there were in Honolulu, and surrounding country including, say, south side of the mountains and seven miles east and west, 13,521 Hawaiians and 1,851 Foreigners. From the table, as published, it appears there has been a decrease of Hawaiians, since 1860, of 789, and an increase of Foreigners of 212. Total of foreign and native population, 15,372. Now, for the religious welfare of this number of people, there are as follows: Two large Protestant native Churches, One large Catholic native Church, Fort Street Church, Bethel Union Church, and the Reformed Catholic Church. All of these churches are supplied with settled Pastors and preachers. In all, probably not less than fifteen, or upon an average of one minister (including Protestant and Catholic) to every 1000 souls.

MARCH I, 1807. General Morgan L. Smith. —This gentleman, recently arrived from the United States, has succeeded to the office of United States Consul. During the war he bore a conspicuous part in the Western campaigns. On the breaking out of the rebellion in 1861, he was residing in St. Louis, and immediately raised a purely American company of soldiers and entered the Union army. During the whole war he was in active service. He finally rose to the rank of Major General of Volunteers. He was in several engagements, and accompanied General Sherman to Atlanta in his march through Georgia, but in consequence of a wound, was sent on military duty to Vicksburg. He fought through on the Union line. We are glad that when the Republic has favors to show, and appointments to make, the soldiers and officers of the war get their share. This is right. Men who have fought through that war with characters unspotted, merit the honors and rewards of Congress and the people.

You owe this to the Word of God, to your quiet Sabbaths, and to education." The American papers a few months ago, contained frequent allusions to the visit of the celebrated Presbyterian divine, Doctor McCosh, to the United States. His testimony is well worthy of the serious attention of every patriot and christian.

Forty Yrsrs When the new missionary ship Morning Stir was launched at East Boston the other day, there stood on her deck a man who forty years ago navigated a little craft of only forty "tons from Boston to Honolulu for the American Board. Thf person was Captain James Hunnewell, and the vessel which he sailed to the Pacific was the Missionary Packet, the first vessel sent by the Board to the Sandwich Islands. The voyage of the little vessel was a tempestuous and eventlul one, occupying nine weary months, during which Captain Hunnewell and his four companions suffered great hardships.

She was well adapted to ply among the Islands, but poorly adapted to perform the passage out, particularly at the season of the year when she left Boston and was off the stormy regions of Cape Horn.

To meet the question that may arise in the mind of any reader of the foregoing— What could induce Mr. Hunnewell to em- bark on such a hazardous voyage in such an unsuitable vessel at that inclement season of the year at home, and was likely to be off Cape Horn ? I would reply that this was not my first but my third voyage to the North 18 67. trade at a future day. When I came to see how small the packet was I was disappointed, but it was too late to give up.

"Nor mast Uncle Sam's web-feet he fornntton." President Lincoln. In our last issue we endeavored to show that American seamen, when sick and destitute, were not paupers. The twenty cents per month tax, and the three months extra wages, settle that point very conclusively. As the Government assumes the right to expend the sailor's money, we maintain that it should be done upon the principles of strict economy, the very best system of hospital accommodations, and in accordance with the general sentimentof propriety current among seamen. We hold that the United States Consul, established in a foreign port, is bound to have some regard to the known opinions and feelings of ship-masters, officers and seamen. Now we claim to know what that opinion is upon the proper treatment of sick sailors, their funeral rites, and the treatment of those in health. It hns been opposed to keeping up, at an enormous expense, a second rate sailor's boarding house in the outskirts of the city, and calling it the United States Hospital, which is merely a pauper asylum of the United States Government, where those in health, and not needing medical treatment, are unceremoniously crowded together with those sick and diseased with all the ills and maladies " that flesh is heir to." Officers and seamen in perfect health have been compelled to mess with and among those who were in mll stages of disease, while some were actually dying. When they remonstrated, they were summarily discharged or made to feel that they were in the situation of dependent paupers. We have known officers and seamen, entitled to the Consular protection, to forsake the establishment and seek board in town, casting themselves upon their friends or some boarding house keeper. We will not dwell upon the past; let by" gones be by-gones; " but for the future—for the credit of the United States Government and the welfare of seamen—we hope the Consul will break up this system and separate the well from the sick. We have already intimated how this may be done, viz. bysending the sick to the Queen's Hospital, and those in health to the Home, or to some re- : spectable boarding house. Three times, at least, has the United States Government endeavored to reform this system, but the good intentions of the Government have been hitherto thwarted. We refer to the visit of the sloop of war Levant in 1860, Dr. Baxley's tour of inspection in 1861, and the mission of T. F. Wilson, Esq., in 1866. The first and second attempts were �21 THE KRIKMI, M \ IM 11. 1867. signal failures, and it is yet somewhat doubtful whether the third will prove a success. We are confident it will not, if through any mismanagement the old system is perpetuated, although there may be a retrenchment of expenses. The honest truth is, the whole system is bad. We are not aware -that the United States Government keeps up any such establishment in any part of the world, and there is no more necessity for it in Honolulu than in London, Liverpool, Havre, or any other port foreign to the United States. Dr. Baxley, the Government special agent, has always been understood to have reported against it. Mr. Wilson may have succeeded ir. reducing expenses, but we maintain that it has been at the sacrifice of the sailor's welfare, and thereby to the injury of American commerce. One case of hardship has already been reported in the public prints. The course adopted in regard to the burial of seamen has already given just cause of offense, and if persisted in, will be made a subject ot more complaint. But we confidently hope that all abuses will be rectified under the management of General Smith. We will add one more remark : if the United States Government is determined to keep up an establishment for sick and destitute seamen, (hitherto contrary to all principles of economy and sanitary rule,) let it be done in a style becoming a gteat, powerful and commercial nation. Let a site be selected and purchased, and suitable buildings erected thereon. Let the whole be done in a becoming manner, and not in the present jobbing style, or that which has been practiced for many years. If it reflects more honor upon the Government to maintaina separate establishment, let it be done in a style really to honor the Government and promote the sailor's welfare. As the sailor is compelled fo foot the bill, let him have a voice in its management. If seamen cannot be suitably provided for under the Consulate, we shall petition for a branch of the United States Sanitary Commission to be established in Temperance Legion.—The effort to reEDITOR'S TABLE. vive the temperance cause in Honolulu has Reviews of New Books on Polynesia. resulted in the organization of the TemperYears in Socth Central Poltkesia—Being ance Legion.

These are books of interest, and written by men who have rendered themselves capable of treating upon affairs in Polynesia from having lived and labored among the people. The first book we shall notice, relates to the Tonga or Friendly Islands. This volume was written by the Rev. Thomas West, a Missionary, laboring for ten years at the Friendly Islands under the patronage of the Wesleyan Missionary Society of England. It will be remembered by those familiar with the history of missions in the South Seas, that the Tonga or Friendly Islands were first occupied as a missionary field by the missionaries of the London Missionary Society, on the first establishment of Protestant Missions in the South Seas, as early as 1797. That enterprise failed, and subsequently the Wesleyan Missionaries entered the field and have labored with encouraging success. From the preface of Mr. West's book, we learn, that at the Friendly Islands there are "169 Protestant places of worship. Connected with these there are 24 Resident European and Native Ministers ; 13 Catechists; 214 Day-school Teachers; 676 Sabbath-school Teachers ; 856 Lay Preachers ; 9.S22 Church-members, and 248Day-schools, containing 9,712 Scholars. The number of regular attendants upon public worship is about 30,000, and more than £3,000 per annum are contributed voluntarily by the people for religious purposes." This statement shows that this mission must have proved a glorious success. The King of the Friendly Islands, George Tubou, is represented as a sovereign who is thoroughly converted to the christian religion, and is recognized among the number of tactual preachers of the gospel. King George rules with much ability and dignity. He has �22 THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1867. granted his subjects a Constitutional Government. A copy of the Constitution and Laws we published in our columns in April, 1864. How far His Majesty King George was influenced by the progress of events at the Hawaiian Islands, we cannot say, but, that the Hawaiian Kingdon was made the subject of consideration, we learn from the following remarks, on pages 302-3. Mr. West thus writes m his journal on the 13th of January, 1855: ',' I had also considerable conversation with the king in reference to another very important subject. Some months ago, I received an official document from M. St. Julian, commissioner from the King of Hawaii, (Sandwich Islands,) requesting me to translate the same to King George, which 1 accordingly did. The substance of the communication was the expression of a desire, on the part of the government and King of Hawaii, to enter into political and commercial relationships with the Friendly Islands, and urging upon the king the duty of taking steps to secure a formal recognition of his independence by foreign powers. Hawaii, mice as barbarous as imv country of Polynesia, and much more degraded, morally*, than ever Tonga was in the worst times, has now become tively wealthy a prosperous ami comparastate, treated with, and rec- ognised as an equal, by all the great nations of the world. " It is a highly instructive fact, and very suggestive of the remarkable progress of religion and civilization in these parts of the earth, to find negociations of this kind formally opened between kings and nations, who, a few short years since, were henthens and cannibals. In a communication addressed to myself, it is said that, the desire of His " all the PolyneHawaiian Majesty is to see sian races become as prosperous, and as fully independent, as the nation over which he rules." His Hawaiian Majesty strongly recommends King George to establish a constitutional government. A copy of that adopted by the Hawaiians, and recently published in the Sydney newspapers, has been translated and laid before the king. It is receiving his best consideration ; but, at present, the king thinks that the introduction of such a movement would he inopportune. Certain I am that the Tonguese have better capabilities, and greater facilities for becoming an important people, than even the Hawaiians; but such sweeping reforms and alterations in the political condition and laws of any people must, in great measure, be a work of time." This interesting volume of Mr. West, is accompanied with a portrait of King George, a good map of the Tonga or Friendly Islands, and an Appendix, containing remarks upon the Tonguese Language and Grammar. THE KING ANO PEOPLE OF FIJI. This book introduces its readers to the real cannibals—eaters of human flesh. The Fijians made no scruple of boldly asserting that they were man-eaters, and they did so because they loved the food. On a certain rv»f>»s,inn. Kin"' Thnkonibnu's soldiers return- ed from battle and presented themselves before his "second Queen," Adi-mai-Naikasakasa, and she thus publicly reproached one of them: Shame on you, to return without even one man for me to eat." It should be remembered that such scenes occurred not long years ago, in the dark ages of a remote antiquity, but even within a very few ytars. The incident just noticed occurred in 1854. The Fiji Islands are a beautiful group in the South Pacific. They were thoroughly surveyed by the United States Exploring Expedition about 1840. In the third volume of the " United States Exploring Expedition " will be found Wilkes' narrative of a visit to those islands, and a map will lie found in volume sixth. To any one wishing to become thoroughly acquainted with those islands, this narrative of Wilkes will be found interesting. Several books have however since been published, which more fully unfold the character and condition of the people, viz. : Fiji and Fijians," in two volumes; Capt. J. E. Erskine's (R. N.) "Journal of a Cruise among the Islands of the Western Pacific, in H. B. M.'s S. Havannah," and Mrs. Wallis' " Life in Fiji." This last is the work written by the wife of an American ship-master, engaged in the biche-de-mer trade. No books, however, are more valuable and reliable than those of the English Wesleyan missionaries, who have during the last thirty years labored so nobly, courageously and successfully in reclaiming those vile cannibals from their abominable practices to the Christian religion. If any skeptic after this shall question whether there is power in Christianity to subdue the most besotted and degraded heathen, then we would recommend that he make a voyage to the Fiji Islands, and hear the story of a Fijian conversion from the lips of some of those old and veteran missionaries, or the Fijian himself. The book we have now under review was written by n brother of our fellow-townsman, J. T. Waterhouse, Esq. He was fourteen years a laborious missionary among the Fijians, and his father was superintendent of the Wesleyan Missions in Australia and the South Seas. There is a noble tribute to the father's great usefulness and admirable character as a public officer of the Missionary Association, in pages 87-91 of this book, which is copied from Fiji and the Fijians." It would be quite impossible for us to present even a mere outline of the great variety of topics discussed in this volume, but we can assure our readers that it will amply repay the perusal. It brings the history of the islands down to about 1855, when cannibalism was formally abandoned as a national prao tier under the authority of the Government, " " " and Christianity established. Mr. Water house, the writer, intimates, on page 294, that he has in preparation another volume, as a sequel to this. We shall anxiously look for its publication, and we hope it will be accompanied by a good map or chart, resembling that accompanying Mr. West's work on the Tonga Islands. From the public prints and a gentleman who has long resided at the Fiji Islands, we learn that Thakombau is now acknowledged by Fijians, foreigners and foreign governments, (England, France and ihe United States,) as the King of Fiji. He has his Court Residence on Bau,and a young American is his Secretary of State. About 1,200 foreigners reside upon the gioup, commerce is increasing, the agricultural resources of the islands are being developed, and in fine, Christian-Fiji is taking its place among the civilized and Christian nations of the earth. The entire population of the group is estimated nt 150,000. MISSION I.IKK I.N THE ISLANDS OK THE PACIFIC. In this volume we have portrayed the life of one who has been styled the " model missionary of Polynesia.'' Who that has read missionary intelligence, has not often met with ibe name of the Rev. Anion Buzacott, of Rarotonga, one of the Hervey Islands ? He was the early friend, co-lahort-r and companion of Williams, the Martyr of Erromanga. It was the fortune of Williams to be an enterprising explorer, but of Buzacott to settle down on one of those beautiful islands of the South Seas, and there labor dili- gently, laboriously and successfully. Very often have we listened to the narrations of ship-masters and sailors who have visited Rarotonga, and it was once our privilege to correspond with him. He died at Sydney, September 20, 1564, where he had retired on account of ill health. He was a missionary of the London Missionary Society. We hail with delight the publication of so mnny new hooks on Polynesia. As we had occasion to remark on another occasion, the time has not come to write a history of Missions, or Christianity in Polynesia, hut the materials are being gathered for a history of thrilling interest. Other books, we doubt not, are in course of preparation, and whenever any of them are laid upon our table, we shall most cheerfully give them a review or notice. We shall do it con amore, for in the subject of Missions among the heathen, anil especially unevangelized Polynesians, we take a deep interest. In our estimation, there is no subject of greater importance which can come before the human mind, for the time is sure to come When one mng shall employ all nations, all shall cry, Worthy the Lamb, tor he was slain for us.

This is the third volntiK' of the History of the American Revolution, and ninth of the general history of the Unik'd States. More than thirty years ago, while a student in college, we remember to have read Bancroft's first volume, and it has been our privilege to read the successive volumes as they have appeared at comparatively long intervals, or upon an average of about one volume in three or four years. This history has been Bancroft's life-work, but a noble work. During this long period he has freely participated in the stirring events and politics of the country, and frequently enjoyed the honors and emoluments of office. At one time he was Secretary of War, at another, Minister to England, and by the very last mail the report comes that he has been appointed Collector of the Port of Boston. During his life, the idea that he was the historian of the United States does not appear to have been absent from his mind. While he has been writing the history of his country, that country has been growing in size. Thirty years ago, all those vast regions west of the Rocky Mountains were almost terra incognita. It was in 1836, we believe, when the Rev. Mr. Spaulding and Dr. Whitman, —with their heroic wives— crossed those mountains as Missionaries of the American Board. Those ladies were the first white women who had ever undertaken that perilous journey. Perhaps to Dr. Whitman, more than to any other human l>eing, is our country indebted, for having opened a pathway to the advancing troops of immigrants and secured lor our country tlic rich valley of the Columbia River. The visit of Dr. Whitman to Washington, during the per.oil of Mr. Webster's Secretaryship under President Tyler, resulted in most important events to Oregon and our country. When some future Bancroft shall write his country's history, due prominence and credit will be given to the murdered missionaries of Oregon ! That same historian will not fail to hold up to deserved contempt and execration others who figured about that time in the allairs of Oregon. We have perused the ninth volume of Bancroft with intense interest. It relates to the Declaration of Independence, and the military movements subsequent to that event, including, of course the narrative of the battle upon Long Island, the occupation of New York city by the British troops, the retreat of Washington through the Jerseys, the surrender of Burgoyne, and many other important military events. Not the least interesting portion of the volume relates to the correspondence between the various European Governments —including France, Russia, Spain, and various German kingdoms, respecting the new born Republic over the great waters of the Atlantic. Our narrow limits will not allow us to dwell upon this interesting topic, but we can most.cordially recommend this volume to the careful perusal of the lovers of historical rending. When we finished reading this ninth volume of Bancroft, we felt somewhat as Dr. Johnson remarked that he felt when finishing reading Pilgrim's Progress, this is "one of the few books which every reader wishes had been longer." We have this consolation, however, Mr. Bancroft promises that shortly he will publish the tenth volume, which will complete the American Revolution. " For that volume " says Bancroft, '• the materials are collected and arranged, and it will be completed and published without any unnecessary delay. A single document only had been wanting." But for this document he had sent to Mr. Biglelow, the American Minister at Taris, and the French Minister, M. Drouyn dc Lhuys, had ordered a copy to be made from the archives of the French Government. When historians take such unwearied pains to verify their statements, well may their readers take delight in the perusal of their writings. 25 {(SUbjMrus, f101.24.

[The design of our Savior, in uttering the parable from which the text was selected, was to enforce the idea that man should be ever ready for the sudden coming of the Lord. First. Thecoming ofthe Lord (1) referred to his advent 1,800 years ago ; (2,) His second coming to judge the world; and (3,) His coming at death. Second. Preparation for His coming at death. (1.) Possession of true piety. (2.) Habitual communion and fellowship with God ; and (3,) Engagedness in His service. Third. Blessedness of thosefound prepared jor the Lord's coming. (1.) They will enjoy the approbation of God; (2.) They will be found prepared to enter the rest of heaven; and (3,) Their blessedness will be eternal. ] The discussion of the above points omitted in printing. 1 would now invito your attention, while I dwell briefly upon the life and character of one who has, in the prime of his manhood, and the midst of a career of eminent usefulness, been suddenly removed from the bosom of his family and the busy scenes of official life. The announcement of his death, so unexpected, gave a shock to this community, and the spontaneous closing of places of business indicated the esteem and respect which was entertained for the deceased. The Government in whose service he has so Jong been employed, and the community at large, have paid becoming respect to his memory. As it was my privilege to have become acquainted with him before that of any other person on these Islands, to have labored with him in various works of benevolence, and for ten years to have been his Pastor, while he officiated as Deacon of this Church during most of that period, I have felt that it would not be deemed unbecoming on my part to advert to his life and character, now that he has ■• — — — passed onward to the eternal world, beyond the influence of%nan's censure or praise. From my first acquaintance I regarded him as a young man of decided ability, and perfectly reliable. I formed this opinion almost immediately, and I rejoice that I was never �Til 26 compelled to change my opinion. He brought no letters of introduction, but his honest face, modest demeanor and gentle manners impressed me so favorably, that I gave him a cordial welcome atid the hearty assurance that I would do all in my power for him. 1 introduced him to merchants and officers of Government. It has always been a source of much gratification to my mind that he then appreciated my kindness, and never forgot it. He arrived at Honolulu on the 30th of March, 1844, and hence spent aboutone-half of his life a resident on the Islands. Before landing, and before I had ever seen him, he wrote me a note, requesting the loan of some books for a cruise upon the Northwest Coast. (At this time he was on board the English ship Peruvian, Captain Brooks, of St. Johns, New Brunswick.) Accompanying the note he forwarded a few poetical effusions for publication. One of these was entitled "An Early Impression," but written at sea, and from it I quote as follows : "How oft. when but a child. I've roamed Anion); the tombstones );ray. And marked the records of the dead Whose ashes round me lay. "While viewing o'er the various throng Of Adam's family there. My heart, though young, would postal deep, And something say prepare.'

Such were the thoughts suggested to young Robertson's mind, from having in childhood and youth wandered among the graves of his Scottish ancestors. How forcibly do his musings remind one of Gray's in a Country Churchyard." In or"derElegy *.o show that his musings at this period of life, were not the mere promptings of a fanciful and poetical mind, but that underneath there was running a deep current of religious emotion, I quote thefollowing hymn, the manuscript of which he then placed in my hands: "Jesus, my Lord, my Savior.

And make my soul's eternal home Where thou art ever near." Here we have the unmistakable proofs that the teachings in his Scottish home, and at the kirk, made a deep «nd salutary impression upon his mind. He was educated amid home influences, such as Burns so beautifully portrays in the " Cottar* Saturday Night." Fortunate for him and the world, those early impressions were never effaced by contact with the rough world. In view of such home influences, Burns might well exclaim : I-KI Ii N !). APRIL, IS6 7 .

The Rev. N. G. Clark has become the Foreign Secretary of the American Board, in the place of the Rev. Dr. Anderson. A recent communication from the new Secretary contained the following " postscript," which has been placed at our disposal. It was not intended for publication, but as the ideas are valuable and opportune, we gladly spread them before our readers : " I trust you will bear with me, brethren, if I refer to a subject which has been a good deal in my thoughts, in considering the state of our churches here at home, and their slowness to meet the demands of the missionary enterprise. It is the personal responsibility of every member of the church for the progress of the Gospel. It is a sad fact, characteristic of most of the churches in this country, as well as of Protestant churches abroad, that the great work of evangelization is confined almost wholly to the ministry, and to a few elect souls in every Christian community who are in"some measure awake to their responsibilities. This type of Christian activity we have inherited from the days of priestly rule, when the laity had nothing to do, but everything relating to religion was left to the priests. Its legitimate fruits are already reached here, in the degree to which the Gospel actually pervades the popular mind and heart. The church holds its own, and but little more. It is a power in the land, but not the controlling, all pervading power it ought to be, and must be, in order to the thorough evangelization of our own country. Progress is making in the right direction by the steady development of Christian activity, but till the church as a whole conies up to its privileges with one heart and one mind, its great work will not be done ; the infidelity anil worldliness of our time will not be put down, our science and philosophy, our social and political institutions will not become truly Christian, and promotive only of Christian culture. " Let the same spirit which prompted you to go abroad, be inspired in the hearts of all your converts. Let every man, woman and child feel that in coining to Christ, and becoming sharers in the blessings of the Gospel, it becomes at once their duty to extend these blessings to others; that their covenant vows in the service of Christ are not mere word%, but solemn realities. Let each new convert be taught at once to speak and act for Christ, and to give of his earnings to promote his cause. However poor in this world's goods, however humble in position, everything hcncelorlh for Christ. Let every native convert feel that be is a fellow-worker with you in the evangelization of his countrymen ; that while you plant he is to water, that God may give the increase." Let the truth go from mouth to mouth, from heart to heart, as among the Cols of India, as recently in Ebon, and in Ponape. The example of some individual churches, as that of Pastor Harms in Germany, and of some communities, as the Moravians, illustrates the power of a general consecration on the part of a whole church. Let there be meetings for prayer and worship and exhortation in every neighborhood where two or three can be FRIEND, 27 APRIL. 1867. gathered together; let the brethren go out two and two, from house to house, from village to village, as they have opportunity, especially on the Sabbath ; let every man who has the ability to speak be put forward to speak for Christ. When the church at Jerusalem was scattered, they went everywhere preaching the Word—not the ministers simply, but the church ; —a marked recognition of the influence and responsibility of every member of the body of Christ. Let collections be taken as often as once a month, if not on every Lord's day, for some specific object of Christian work, for schools, for church building, for native preachers, for religious publications, to pay Bible women or colporteurs, or to help feebler churches. Let every one feel that a part is to be taken in this work, as faithful to Christ, as loving to do something for him, and for the good of others. " Let our mission churches begin right. It is of vital moment to the success of the missionary work, as well as of the final triumph of the Gospel in the earth. Let not bad habits be formed and stereotyped. There are no new agencies promised, no new Gospel to supplement the failures of the present system. •'Many of these suggestions, I dare say, are but truisms in your experience ; many I know are better followed on missionary ground than at home. Please accept them as the suggestions of one who is glad to be your fellow-laborer in this glorious work. N. G. C." Dedication of the Mariner's Church at San Francisco. This fine looking and appropriate edifice was dedicated last Sunday afternoon in the presence of a crowded and attentive audience. A majority of them were of the class most deeply interested in this good enterprise, viz : seamen and their families. Several of our city clergymen were present and assisted in the services. Rev. J. A. Benton, Rev. H. A. Sawtelle and Rev. P. S. Williamson participated, in the order named. Rev. A. L. Stone, D. D., delivered an earnest and appropriate discourse, and made a strong appeal in behalf of the sailor. Rev. M. C. Briggs followed in a pungent address in his own happy manner. Ira P. Rankin, Esq., President of the Port Society, which has had the erection of this church in charge, made a financial statement, showing that over 815,000 had been raised and expended on the church and lot. A debt of $3,000 on the latter remains, secured by mortgage. The large benefactor* of the enterprise, as reported, are : the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, $2,000; Seamen's Friend Society, New York, $1,000 in currency; Mrs. Rowell, $1,000 in United States bonds; California Steam Navigation Company, $500; Mrs. Cummings, of Portland, legacy, $200; $4,500 by forty-five merchants of San Fran- cisco, and about $1,000 in various sums from seamen. Mr. Rankin expressed his belief that, on a thorough canvass of the pity, sufficientwould be obtained to clear offthe entire debt. We earnestly wish this may be so, and that the necessary measures may be speedily used to insure a complete accomplishment of this most necessary and most Christian work. We offer our hearty congratulations to the true friends of the sailor on what their efforts have already accomplished, and devoutly bid them God speed.—Pacific, February Ith, 1867. The Unseen Battle-Field. There is an unseen battle-field In every human breast, - W hero two opposing Ibrees meet, But where tliuy seldom rest. That field is veil'd from mortal sight, "lis only seen by one Who knows alone where victory lies, When each day's light is done. One nrmy clusters strong and fierce, Their ohiel of demon lonn ; His brow is like the thundercloud, His voice, the bursting storm. His captains. Pride, and Lust, and Hate, Whose troops watch night nod do-y, Swilt to detect (be weakest point, And thristing for the fray. Contending with this mighty force Is but a little band ; Yet there with an unquatting front, Tlnse warriors firmly Rand. Their leader is of (<od-like form, Of countenance serene; Ami glowing on bis naked breast A simple cross is seen. His captains, Faith, and Hope, and Love, Point to that wondrous sign, And gazing on it, all receive Strength from a source divine. They feel it speaks a glorious truth, A truih as great as sure, That to lie victors, they must learn To love, confide, endure. That faith sublime, in wildest strife, Imparts a holy calm ; For every deadly blow a shield, For every wound a balm. And when they win that battle-field, Fast toil is quits forgot; The plain where carnage onco had reigned, Becomes a halluwed spot. A spot where flowers of joy and peace Spring from the fertile And breathe the perfume of tlicir praise On every breeze to God. Female education is not altogether a modern introduction. Queen Elizabeth received, under the instruction of the erudite Roger Aschnm, a profound knowledge of the learned languages. Abundant evidence of this exists in a comment on Plato ; in translations into English of Boethius, Sallust, Xenophon, Horace, Plutarch and Sophocles ; in tninslations into Latin of two orations of Isocrates, and a tragedy of Euripides ; in a translation from the French of the meditations of the Queen of Navarre; in a translation of the prayers of Queen Catherine into Latin, Italian and French ; in a volume of prayers written by herself in French, Italian and Spanish; and lastly, in a Greek oration delivered extemporarily at Oxford. There are still extant a number of letters and prayers written or dictated by Elizabeth, and some small poems. �28 THE I II IK Mi , APRIL, 1867. .Singing—Hawaiian liyinn, translation, of ing to have gone to India, where a sister was Spark." ■•Vital Inboring under the auspices of the American ; Prayer—by the Kov.

The New "Morning Star."—Since our last issue, this beautiful Missionary yacht has arrived, been seen, and sailed on her first missionary trip to the Marquesas Islands. She is a beautiful vessel, and very nearly comes up to a sailor's idea of being in every sense of the word, " ship-shape." Her passage out was remarkably quick, and she has established her character as an excellent seaboat and good sailer. Long and prosperous may be her career under her clerical master, the Rev. H. Bingham, jr. The Rev. T. Coan and the Rev. B. H. Parker, were sent as Delegates from Hawaiian Evangelical Association, to the Marquesas Islands. E7* N.

Something new among Sailors.—We have received the programme of a literary exhibition on board U. S. Steamer Vanderbilt, under the special patronage of Rear Admiral Thatcher. The exercises consisted of " Recitations," "Declamations," "Singing," &c, &c. We hope the Lackawanna boys will follow the example of their fellowseamen in the Navy. In every crew of a man-of-war there is always to be found men of decided ability and talent, and all that seems to be required is some skillful leader, who will "haul" it out. "Laundry."—We notice a new establishment in Honolulu, represented by a neatly painted wagnn, about (he streets, labelled, "Chelsea Laundry." We think it must succeed, and recommend it to the patronage of our sea-faring friends. We have received letters for the following persons —Thomas Walley, Otto Keller, George A. Harvey, hark Nautilus, Richard Banebridge. : We are glad to see the Rev. E. Corwin's sermon, on the death and character of Judge Robertson, published in the Advertiser. FRIEND, APRIL, "Social Science." We received a letter some weeks ago from Dr. Wood, well-known to our island renders, in which he refers to a visit to New Haven, Ct., to nttend a meeting of the friends of The reference which he '• Social Science." makes to this subject may lead the minds of some of our readers in a direction, quite different from what they usually run My Dear Sib :—I thank you for your brief note :28d, : which I received on my return yesof August terday from New Haven, Ct, where I had been to attend a meeting of the Amerioan Association for the Promotion of Social Science, and iv which I found some of the beat literary talent of the oountry eugaged. Its object is to guide the public niind to the best means of promoting the objects sought by the various organizations of the day for the amelioration of the oondition of mankinu generally, but more especially ofsuch as are subjects of sympathy. Subjects of discussion may be classed under Industrial, Sanitary, Reformatory, Financial, Economical, Labor, Law, Trade, and whatever else concerns man, iv all the multifarious, simple and cuuiplex relations of his social life; all of which are embraced under the technical designation of Sociology—which means, I suppose, the science of, or laws which govern, all human affairs; —laws which Buckle, in his History of Civilisation, lias attempted, but failed ittiiifactorily to investigate or evolve. You will find something, I think, of the same theory in Draper, which you are reading. In Huston, the attempt is being made to reduce the new science or system to practice (I thiuk the Association originated in Boston); but whether it rests or not upon a eolid basis, it was gratifying to see such a body of men—embracing many of the highest order of mind in the oountry—laboring earnestly, and apparently unselfishly and devotedly, for the good of society, our country, and the world; visiting the widow and fatherless, the sick and those in prison; giving eyes to the blind, ears to tbc deaf, feet to the lame; feeding and clothing the hungry and the naked; all on striotly scientific principles—that is, by the application of the best-selected means, securing the largest results. The system is new only in respect to the very widerange of subjects and details which it attempts to embrace; but so much of " the enthusiasm of humanity" (to borrow a phrase from Ecce Homo) is manifest in these meetings, that no one can attend them without having whatever good impulses there sre within him strengthened, his faith iv the progress of the race strengthened also, and his hopes quickened in respect to the moral elevation of man, and ultimate restoration of the lost image, or marred image, of his Maker. After the meeting, we had an opportunity to visit the Colleges. Several new buildings have recently been erected for a scientific school, library, galleries of arts, &c. It is intended to make it a University, and in point of endowment it appears to me to be eclipsing Cambridge already. 1 met in the observatory, Mr. Lyman, adjusting a telescope. The last time I saw him, twenty years since, in Honolulu, he was adjusting a transit instrument for Mr. Ijoardinau. I also met a friend and classmate of yours.

On my return, 1 heard in Tremont Temple, Boston, Miss Annie Dickinson lecture, or, as the late President Lincoln remarked, heard the "pullet orow;" and as she repeatedly brought down the house, (of about 11,000,) it may be inferred that she crowed beautifully, an hour and a half, without cessation. By gaslight, she looks young and handsome, dressed in corn-colored silk; hair thick, short and ourlcd. Her voics has great volume and strength, ber elocution good. Her subject was political—radical to the core—fruitful of the most withering sarcasms upon the President and hi* party.

I have not referred to the political news of the day, because I should be anticipated by the telegraph. The papers, however, can give you hut a faint ides, of the bitter hostility of the loyal North, and the loyal minority of the South, against the President and hia policy. Every day's delay of the South to accept the overtures of the last Congress, is adding immensely to the number of those who. North and South, are In favor of universal suffrage. The South oannot long prevent it. By accepting at once the amendments lo the constitution, proposed by the last Congresa, they may postpone it for awhile; otherwise it will be forced upon them, probably, within the next twelve months. Since the death of Judge Robertson, we chanced to examine a pyreon-hole in our Sanctum, labelled " Poetry" and we found a manuscript of which the following is a copy. The Horatian rule is to allow a poem to lie in manuscript nine years bifore publication, —this short poem has been kept more than twenty! It appears to have been written before he left St. Johns, New Brunswick. The sentiments expressed are not unfrequently cherished by the young in those regions, •' Where icy winter holds his sway Full half the year."

The following communications appeared in successive numbers of the "Amulet : " toAGTeuhnarghdelfismn, e Inebriate. a most reIn chapel in Naples, markable specimen of sculpture. From one block of marble there is chiseled the form of a young man enveloped in a net. Despair and hope are mysteriously blended in the countenance of this figure. Thecaptive is in the act of struggling for escape. Every nerve is strained. He has grappled frantically with his toils, and one or two of the meshes have given way. But behind him, away from his line of vision, shtnds his guardian angel, acting now as his helper. His agency is unsuspected, but real; nnd every spectator, sym-" pathizing'with the captive of vice, exclaims unawares, " He will get free." How aptly does this symbol represent the poor inebrfhte who is si niggling to cet free from the meshes of intemperance. He is enveloped by the degrading vice of indulgence in strong drink, and other vices which usually accompany intemperance. He struggles to get free, but still finds himself fast bound. He tries again and again. He abstains from brandy, gin, and the stronger drinks, but a holds on to beer and wine. He finds himself continually breaking nil his good resolutions and pledges. His friends mourn over his frequent lapses into drunkenness. He arouses himself, and declares that he will not be a slave to the degrading vice. He resolves, and re-resolves to abandon his besetting sin; but still he finds the monster has firmly grasped him, and it is no easy matter to loosen his hold. He cannot break the meshes of the fatal net. At this critical moment his guardian angel— teetotalism—appears. The rule of total abstinence is prescribed. The victim of intemperance pleads for a little brandy, a little wine, a little porter, a little beer, but the good angel is inexorable, mildly saying, "touch not, taste not, even one drop." The struggle is sharp, the contest severe, and the cross heavy, but the angel will not yield the point. "Abstain or die," are the only words which are heard to escape her lips. Oh, how the poor inebriate pleads for only one drop! His friends even intercede for a gradual abandonment of his drinking habits, but the angel is as firm as she is mild. Oh, how eloquently the angel pleads with her look of sympathy and tenderness ! She comes near and bends over the poor victim as he lies in his bed of sorrow and degradation. In order to make her appeal more and more effectual, she leads the children of the poor drunkard into his presence. The wife, too, is seen to plead with the angel, in order that, if possible, her husband may be overcome, and rise up from the gutter and slough of intoxication. The KRIKNI), APRIL, I S6 7. poor and almost lost inebriate sees his children, his wife, and his good angel, all standing before him, while behind him, and around him, are seen all the evil spirits which visit the victim of " delirium tremens." At length the poor fellow resolves that he will repair to the temperance meeting, and sign the total abstinence pledge. The moment his trembling hand has affixed his " sign manual," a heavenly radiance is seen (0 lighten up the countenance of the guardian angel, while smiles of joyand gladness wreath the faces of the family group. The bystanders, too, look on with thanksgiving, and the inebriate is now seen to have entirely escaped from the meshes of that terrible net of intemperance which has so long hound him fust. If now he forsakes not the good angel's counsels and advice, all will be well. He will ever after walk forth a free man, which is more than any man can say of himself who is addicted to the habitual use of intox- icating liquors. A Friend or TH» Inebuiatk. Honolulu, March 4, 1867. John Vine Hall, or the Inebriate Restored. Last week I endeavored to point out to the members of the Temperance Legion that total abstinence, or teetotalism, was the inebriate's guardian angel. In the course of my rending, 1 have met with a most beautiful illustration of this principle. A volume, entitled " Hope for the Hopeless," has latelyfallen under -my notice. It is the autobiography or John Vine Hall, the father of the celebrated Rev. Newman Hall, Pastor of Surrey Chapel, London. The son is well known as one of the most eminent ministers of London, and during the late civil war iv America, he made himself a marked man, because he came out boldly and advocated the cause of the Union. That was at a time when the number of Union-loving speakers and writers in England could be reckoned on a man's fingers. It is not, however, with the younger Hall that I am now treating, but with his father, who died September 22d, 1860, in the 87th year of his age, one of the most remarkable instances of the good results of total abstinence which has ever been placed upon record. He was born at Diss, in Norlolk, England, March 14, 1774. His father was a wine merchant. His son undertook to carry forward the same business, but became addicted to habits of intemperance, which well nigh proved his ruin. He was naturally fond of pleasure. Being a good musician and singer, his company was much sought for by the pleasure-going people of the place where he lived. His business talents were of the first order, and commanded for him a firstrate salary, but, alas, he was given to drink. He mourned over his sad fate, and his friends grieved that he should give way to such ruinous excess. He becomes a married man, and the father of four children. A multitude of kind friends surround him. Amid all this array of bright prospects and hopeful signs, alas, there was one sad defect of character—young Hall would give way to strong drink. In those days the guardian angel—teetotalism—was not so distinctly recognized as the inebriate's friend as she is at present. The fact was, everybody drank rum, brandy, wine, beer, and all the ruinous liquors which have carried so many to a drunkard's grave. It was even thought to be impossible to reclaim the poor drunkard. Physicians even would recommend that a little was necessary. Divines, alas, were too much inclined to set bad and pernicious examples before the people. Young Hall's case was most sad and hopeless. There did not appear to be any possible chance of his reformation. In the midst of his melancholy career, his mind becomes interested in the concerns of religion, and he joins the church to which John Wesley has given his name. He becomes prominent among its members by his generous contributions and active labors. He was no doubt sincere in his professions, but, alas, supposing that he could drink moderately, in an evil hour he is overcome, and a dark cloud rests upon his character. His wife and Christian brethren try to raise him up. They forgive the snd full, and I find the following entry in his journal for July 6th, 1812: " Quarterly meeting. —The brethren were all glad to see me among them again, although so unworthy. How brotherly is this regard lor the welfare of each other's souls ! Ido nnt believe there is such another Society in the world ns the Methodists for the exercise of brotherly sympathy. O that I had not grieved them ! O whoi sorrow does sin introduce ! and when Satan gets his victims down, how cruelly he presses upon them ! But the blood of Christ can overcome a thousand Satntis." Onward, the poor fellow harries forward in his downward career, and downward he sinks still lower. His Christian friends are compelled to cut him off from their communion. Property goes and character is lost. But now comes his great change, and he resolves that never another drop of wine, brandy, gin or beer shall touch his lips as a beverage. His guardian angel—total abslinence—stands over him. Kind friends and a devoted wife once more come to his rescue, but no longer is it upon the principle of "taking a little;'" no, "touch not, tasle not," is forever afterwards to be his motto. True to this hetften-born principle, the poor man, aye, the happy man, rises up, redeemed, RESTORED, SAVED. Again he seeks the fellowship of Christian friends, and is welcomed. He now joins the Independents, and for more than forty years he lived an ornament of the Church of Christ. Wealth now accumulates. Social position becomes his envied lot. A wide sphere of benevolence and philnnthrophy opens before him. In all circles, high and low, he is the bold and fearless advocate of tolal abstinence. The amount of good accomplished by this eminent man cannot be fully estimated. He became known to the world as the author of the " Sinner's Friend," a tract, which has been published in all the European languages, and many languages spoken by the dwellers in other lands. It is printed in several of the languages of the " South Seas." When a copy was presented to the Queen of England, the Secretary of her Privy Purse was directed to reply as follows: " Siu:—l Palace, " Buckingham Jan. 16, 1866. ) \ am directed to express to yuu �II! i; rll KNil, \Pi: the Queen's and the Prince's thanks for the ADVERTISEMENTS. copies of your tract, which Her Majesty and His Royal Highness have most graciously JOHN THOS.

By the arrival on the L'SUh tilt., of the eclir. Sin Diego, from Uowland's Island, we Irani of the loss of the above named vessel, and are indebted to CapUin I'o|)bain. for tbe following particulars '■The British ship Kathay, of 1123 tons register, of the port oi Liverpool, sailed from Bombay. Oct. Ttb, 1846, for How-land's Island. Experienced strong winds and flue weather until reaching tbe Friendly Islands, from thence to the Equator, strong northerly gales and squalls, with calms for three or four days, which caused rather a long passage of 90 days. Arrived at Howland's Island. January 6, 1867. when wo had very unsettled weather for several days, having to slip once and pot to sea. On Sunday. January 20, 1867, while lying at the moorings, 6wung taut off from the reef with fresh trade winds, a black cloud in passing overhead caused the wind to shift -suddenly from the westward, (rot a spring on the buoy, which helped to keep the ship from striking very heavy as she swung round, but she started the stern-pool which caused her to leak a good deal. We then hung the ship to the buoy amidships, parallel with the island with her head to the S. S. VV„ but the heavy surf and wind werehenving ship and moorings right on the reef, beiqg then within 15 feet ot striking. As a last resource, we made sail, and in a few minutes slipped from the buoy, but the ship hud not gone half her length before she was hove broadside on the reef, where she instantly bilged and commenced filling fust, the ship laboring and lulling so heavily on the reef that it was impossible to stand on the decks. A few minutes afterwards, the main and mizen masts fell. A part of the crew got into a boat and put off Iron the ship. : Flnulng I could do no more on hoard, I left the sbip with the remainder of the crew, her topgallant-forecastle being* then un- der water. A few minutes afterwards she fell off the reef and sank In the short space of one hour from the time of the wind veering. It Is Impossible to save a ship at Howland's Island with such a sudden shirt of wind, and It's my Arm belief the ship went under the Island, as Uowland's Island. Is in my opinion, like a bunch of coral or an old oak tree with the top part joat above water. I don't believe you would get soundings with 1,000 fathoms line 200 feet from the reef. The Katkay waa a splendid clipper ship. I must five Mr. Westcrvelt, her builder, great praise in modeling her. She was built iv New York In 1853. We had taken on board about 400 tons of guano, and had a fair prospect of completing our cargo of 1600 tons In twenty live days. Myaelf. officers and crew lost everything of any value. Had theaccident happened by night, there would been loss of lives also. But, thank Ood. wa all got aafe on shore, where we remained until February IS, 1887. having been made as comfortable as things would allow, being short of everything on the island. Captain Chlsholtn, superintendent of the inland, deserves the highest praise In working everything for the beat. He also lent us every assistance in trying to keep the ship v off the reef. -We have had a long and tedious paasage to Honolulu,petting short of everything. On Sunday last we touched at Cook'a anchorage at Niihau, where Capt. Tengatrom received grtat kindness from Mr. Sinclair and his two nephews. They supplied ns with three sheep and several bags of potatoes and brought them off after dark to tbe schooner, which kindness I •hall never forget, as there was a heavy aurf on at the time. Capt Tengstrom haa been very klud to ns In this long tedious *->aasage. The orew of the A'afaoy is twenly-flve men all told. Wat. Port-ill. Late Master of Britlah ship Katkay.

Inexpressibly sad was the fate of the United Slates sloop o( v/ar Lerunt, which sailed from Honolulu in the niituiim of 1860, but which was never more heard from. Wu can reudily recall thevisit of that ship's company. Among the crew, there was a sailor, a native of Massachusetts, who frequently visited our office, and from whom we learned that he was the writer of the following letter, published by the American Tract Society of Boston. During the detention of the vessel jn this harbor, his conduct was uniformly circumspect, and such as became one who had penned this communication. At the time it was written he was attached to the Receiving Ship Ohio, lying in Boston harbor. A Sailor's Conversion. United Status Smr Ohio, May 4th, 1859. ) i Deaii Sir:—l am very much obliged to you for the kindness you have manifested towards me ; and, according to your request, 1 will give you some incidents of my life, hoping they will interest you. I feel that this statement is due to you, lor it was through your efforts that prayer-meetings were first established on board our ship, which were the means of bringing me to a knowledge of the truth ns it is in Jesus. 1 was born in Bolton, Mass. My father died when 1 was young, leaving my mother with four children. We were brought up in the family of my grandfather, a deacon of the Baptist Church, and a man of eminent piety. When I was fourteen years of age, my mother married again, and removed to Lowell ; and hero commenced my career of wickedness. I became addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, n:id was a leader in all kinds of debauchery. Many a time, when I came home drunk, did my mother plead with me, with tears streaming down her cheeks, to abstain from the intoxicating poi- son. Oh! how many heart-rending,earnest prayers, hns she offered at the throne of grape for me. She never upbraided me, but strove to reclaim me by gentleness and kindness. Much against the advice of my friends, I went, with some others, to Salem, and engaged to go ■ whaling voyage oi three years , bound for the Indian in the bark M Ocean. Here I gave myself up, unchecked by home influences, to all the desires of my Corrupt heart. I drank the cup of sin to the dregs. The story of my wickedness would . fill volumes. In December last, I arrived in Boston in the ship S The captain wished me to go another voyage with him, and 1 agreed to do so. but spent the most of my time in low haunts in North Street and vicinity, until the day before the ship was to sail. I was perfectly satisfied with my ship, and had good wages; yet, doubtless led by the hand of God, I left it, and shipped in the United States navy, on board the O/iio. Soon after I came on board, it was noised about decks that some of the men were going to hold a praytr-tneetitig on the orlop deck, which caused much sport, and many remarks were made about it. However, the meetings were commenced, but for several nights 1 did not I N 0 , MAY, 1867. go down. At last I was persuaded to go, and saw what I never saw before.—sailors on their knees, beseeching the throne of grace for merry upon themselves and those around then. And 1 felt what I had never realized until now, that 1 was living in a state of condemnation, and without Cod in the world. 1 remembered all the sins I had committed against God and our Saviour.and how many times ho had preserved me when death stared me in the face. 1 remembered the teachings of my parents, and felt that 1 had sinned agninst the clearest light. Oh, what would 1 not have given to recall my past life! I went away, determined to attend the prayermeetings in future, and to mend my past life. I tried to break oir all my bad habits, and attended the meetings regularly; but it would not answer. I could get no peace; I felt condemned. 1 lay in my hammock all night, and prayed for hours, but I felt no relief. At last, 1 got held of a book called "The Anxious Inquirer," and read it as I never bad before. Il teemed to suit my eaae exactly, and 1 strove to comply with the directions which it contained. I was greatly struck with the text of Scripture, "He that is ashamed of One, of him will I be ashamed before my Father which is in heaven." This condemned me, lor I was ashamed to own Christ as the Saviour of my soul. I went down to meeting the next night with the determination to come out on tinLord's tide, and tell them all that I had determined to seek the Lord. But what a struggle I had with my proud heart! 1 thought I could nut speak before the crowd that was down there. But 1 got up; the tears streamed down my lace what I saul I do not know; 1 cannot recollect a word. Then 1 fell upon my knees, and poured out my bean to God. Oh! the joy that afterwards came into my heart. Then I could feel uliat the love of Cod was,and that Christ was precious to my soul. 1 felt at peace with all the world. After tint, I had no more trouble in getting Up, and telling what Christ had done for me, He " ran away from home," and thus obtained unrestricted opportunity to gratify his rile propensities (o the uttermost. It shows also the way of return from sin to Cod. First, he was led to " look at himself as he was." Sinners will never come to Christ for salvation till they see theirruin. He resolved to "break off his sins." It will avail nothing for men to be distressed at their wickedness, and feel the utter wretchedness of their condition, if they do not abandon it. The prodigal not only felt his hunger, but ■aid, " I will arise and go unto my Father." He sought "instruction." Though he had no Christian friend to guide him, he found direction in that excellent book, which has pointed hundreds to trie Saviour. Many are too proud to acknowledge their distress, or ask what they must do to be saved. When he learned what to do, " he did it." That guide pointed him to Jesus—the sinner's only hope—and bade him throw himself on his mercy alone. No efTorts at selfreformation, no cries, nor tears, nor anything which lie could do of himself were sufficient. He must gire himself to Christ, ask him for salvation, trust in him for it, and begin a life of obedience to him. He "acknowledged" Christ before his shipmates. God kindles the flame of his grace in the heart, not to be hid there, hut to shine out, and guide other poor darkened souls to the truth. Christ heard the prayers of this returning prodigal, anil gave biin peace. He will save all that will come to him. Dear reader, will you come t ; KindeR s ewarded. It is a dreadful thing to be old and poor, ami have no home ; but ihere is a deeper depth of human calamity than this—it is to bavo, in addition, an old age of wasting, wearing sickness, which is often superinduced by the constant depression ol mind which attends the consciousness of being alone and friendless and in want.

But there came t letter one day, with the English post-mark, making inquiries for a curtain young American doctor who had greatly befriended an English gentleman during a long and dangerous attack of sickness in New Orleans a numher of years ago. This grateful gentleman had died and left our poor young man a very large estate. Ten years ago and less, there lived in the city of New York a clergyman whose name and memory are sacred to thousands of grateful, loving, revering hearts. He has not been dead long; he will never die out of the holy affections of the people before whom he came in and went out so many years. Among his people there was one man, and he was of large wealth, who seemed to make it his special business, as it*was his highest happiness to see that this reverend pastor wanted nothing. It was not a litful care. It did not spring'ip in May and die long before December came, hut through weeks and months and lung years it was always the same; incessant, perennial, gushing up always like a never failing spring. The pastor died his loving watcher, by no fault of bis own, failed for almost millions; any recovery was absolutely hopeless. The grief that oppressed him most was the loss of ability to help the helpless. Men looked on, wondered,and began to question if Providence would let such a man come to want in his gray hairs, lint there was an eye upon him A man of very great wealth said : " He must not stiller who cared so well and so faithfully and long for my old minister.

Here a Protestant house of worship is to be erected, in which there is to be a. daily prayermeeting rrnd preaching in various languages, so that the people ol all climes may bear in their own tongues the wonderful works of Cod. There is also to be a building for the distribution of liibles and religious books ami tracts, in all languages, where also the various Christian missionary societies will display the results of their success in civilizing and Christianizing the barbarous nations and tribes of heathendom. As American Christians have been earnest in their elforts'to evangelise the world, it is proper that some of the results of their labors should appear in this most interesting department of this World's Fair. The American Board of Missions, the American Bible Society, the American Tract Society, and possibly other missionary societies in this country, have made shipments to the Exposition, as illustrations of what they are doing in the great work of giving the Gospel to the nations of the earth. There will thus be not only a fuller and more intelligent revelation of the world-wide and world-embracing efforts of Christian seal and activity, but a direct anil constant endeavor to bring the power of divine truth to bear upon the millions who are expected to assemble to witness this grand display of the results of human industry and art.

London : Smith, Elder A Co. 1866. We are very glad to get hold of a book which speaks with some degree of authority respecting the late war in New Zealand. As the Maories, or aborigines of New Zealand, belong to the great and widely scattered Polynesian family, we feel a deep interest in whatever relates to their condition, welfare and destiny. Occasional notices that a war was raging in New Zealand between the aborigines and the British forces, is all that the public has known upon the subject. This book opens up the subject. We learn from a gentleman recently from that part of the world, and who has long resided in the country, that it can be relied upon for accuracy of statement and general impression. That our readers may be able to obtain a somewhat tolerably correct idea of the state of affairs in New Zealand, we commence by giving the population of the islands. Population. —ln 1842, the best estimates gave the native or Maori population at 114,-000. In 1850, a Wesleyan missionary estimated the population at 70,000. In 1858, the Government returns put the population at 55,970. Mr. Fox expresses the opinion that the Maories now do not number over 45,000, and still upon the rapid decrease. "A people," he remarks, "that -has no children, must die out." The European population in 1864 was estimated at 171,931, and the increase was very rapid, so much so, that in 1866, Mr. Fox estimates that it reached to 200,000. From this book and other sources, we learn that the Colony is rapidly increasing in population and material wealth. From 1857 to 1866, the gold mines alone of New Zealand yielded, according to Governments reports, £11,207,179, or well nigh 860,000,000. The War.—The late war appears to have been a most expensive affair, but terminating in no definite results. It has been carried on at a cost of over £3,000,000, or 9 15,000,000. At most, only about 10,000 regular troops have been in the service, and on the part of the Maories, the estimate is 5,000 and upwards. Pitched battles have been but few. The main warfare has been skirmishing and attacks upon fortified places, or pahs, as they are styled by the natives. The Governor of the' Colony, Sir George Orey, and General Cameron, appear to have been upon anything but good terms. What one ordered the other would countermand. They were about as good friends as Prcsi dent Johnson and the Republican Congress. After fighting for two or three years, Mr. Fox thus sums up the military results of the war: That the men were personally brave, and their officers brave, and the reverse the rare exception, is readily admitted. But it cannot be concealed that the campaign, as a whole, added little to the laurels of the British army. Except Walcheren, New Orleans, and some passages of the American war of Independence, I can recollect no military operations of which, as a whole, we have less reason to be proud." • Mr. Fox admits most frankly that, in a military point of view, the whole war has been a stupendous failure, with no definite results. " Let it be admitted that we have yet to learn the art of fighting savages. God grant that it may be the last occasion on which the British army may have to do it." This volume contains some interesting statements respecting the strange fanaticism, called the " Pai Marire," which has arisen among the natives of New Zealand, and resulted in the murder of the Rev. Mr. Volkner and other atrocities. One of the great and prevailing evils which has long existed amoog the Maories of New Zealand, has been the fact that they had no central government. They have had an abundance of chiefs, but really no king-chief, such as has existed on our group of islands. This fact has operated to retard missionary operations, as well as resulted in perpetual difficulties between the Maories and the British Government and colonists. What may be in store for the dwellers upon our fair islands—aborigines and foreigners— is known only to the great Killer of nations ; but one thing is more and more apparent to the careful observer, that the American missionaries were wise in sustaining, by all the weight of their influence and authority, the native government, when it has been threatened by foreign powers. There have been crises in the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom when it seemed that foreign influences would overtop and crush the Kainehaiueha dynasty and the Government. Such influences have subvened the native rule in other parts of Polynesia, but hitherto that fate has been averted from this Kingdom, and we hope a long period may elapse ere such a result shall be experienced on-Hawaiian shores. " Kanaka Divers versus Gutta-percha Armor-clad Divers. It actually resulted in the paralysis of his body, from which he has never entirely recovered. Mr. L. has followed this business for years, and experiences no injury, seldom descending lower than seventy or eighty feet. He remains for hours under water, and once walked, off Point Judith, about five miles upon the bottom of the ocean. Ordinarily he can see twenty or thirty feet without difficulty, and frequently meets with fish and other inhabitants of those watery regions. Mr. L. expressed some surprise when informed that Sandwich Islanders would descend much lower than any depth yet reached by American divers, however completely they might lie protected by their armor. The following facts may be relied upon. In the month of August, 1813, H. B. M.'s ship Dublin, Admiral Thomas, lost a heavy anchor weighing seven thousand eight hundred pounds, in over thirty fathoms of water. Under the direction of His Excellency Covernor Kekuanaoa, natives were employed to dive for the purpose of attaching a hawser. Several divers tested their abilities, when one was found, who descended once twenty-nine fathoms, and again thirty-two fathoms, (192 feet,)and remained sufficiently longto adjusta rope to the anchor's fluke. When he came up blood issued from his ears and nose. No serious results followed. The kanaka is still living in the employ of His Excellency. Admiral Thomas gave him $200 for performing a feat which probably no American or European could accomplish. This fact is probably owing to the custi m of Hawaiians living so much in the water. An Hawaiian woman once swam about twenty-live miles, having been thirty-six hours in the water, and during most of that lime carried her husband upon her back. This remarkable instance occurred about lliirty years ago, when a native schooner foundered at sea in the channel off Hawaii. The woman finally reached Kahoolawe, and subsequently lived for several years.

"Pictorial Sanctum."—Having occasion to visit the editorial sanctum of our neighbor of tho Advertiser, we found it " swept and garnished." Kvery book, pamphlet and exchange newspaper was in its place. The room was decorated with the most expensive engravings (for sale, ol course.) For an editor's room to be found in such complete order appeared vory surprising. We really think the last nuuiber of his paper was more •' newsy and better edited than common. We advise all editors to clean up their sanctums, and it may improve their papers. In a recent interview with Mr. J. P. Lougee, the American diver, (who accompanied the Caroline Mills on her expedition to rescue the treasure of the Libelle on Wake's Island,) we learned some facts relating to the subject of submarine explorations, which may " be interesting to our readers. Mr. Lougee informs us that no American diver, clad in armor, has ever descended deeper than one hundred and forty-two feet.

The Captain decided at once to proceed to Honolulu for assistance. Taking a favorite large whaleboat, named the Ann E. Wilson, he put on her what the sailors call a "sister gunwale" und u wash-board," and declared his intention to "start for Honolulu. As an instance of Yankee enterprise nnd determination of character, under difficult circumstances, it is well to mention that the only tools the Captain and his men had to operate with in making their boat seaworthy for the long and perilous voyage of nearly five hundred miles to this port, was n saw, a hummer and a chisel. The nails with which to fasten their work they had to draw from the fastenings of the other boats. On Tuesday, the- 10th, the tKiat being ready, the Captain, second officer und six men embarked at 3 p. «., with a necessarily limited stock of water and bread, bound for Hodolulu, leaving twenty-seven of their shipmntes on the sand bank, doubtless with a feeling of uncertainty, both on the part of those who went and those who remained, as to whether they should ever see one another again. One party left on an unfteipiented barren sand beach in mid-ocean, and the other, with scanty provisions, undertaking, in an open boat, a sea voyage ofhundreds of miles. For the first lour days after leaving the shoal the Ann E. Wilson encountered strong winds from the north nnd north-northeast, but made very good headway in the desired direction, sometimes pulling and sometimes sailing when the wind gave a slant. For prudential reusous nil hands in the boat were put on an allowance id' one pint of water nnd one biscuit n day. Thus they struggled on, until Sunday morning, April 23d, when they made the Island of Niihiui. Landing there, they were most hospitably nnd kindly received by the proprietors of the Island, Captain Sinclair and family, of whom Captain Richmond speaks in the highest terms. Leaving Niihaii at 0 o'clock on Monday morning, they continued their course for Honolulu without touching at Kauai. During that night they spoke the Montie.cllo, Capt.

Howes, of the brig Lubra, touched at Honolulu on his voyage to China, and we had the privilege of forming his acquaintance at our office in the Sailors' Home. The vessel did not enter the inner harbor of Honolulu. A brief account of the sad affair, described in the following letter, has already been published, but as this is given by Capt. Howes' wife, it merits publication. THE CHINESE PIRATES. aBAErcxiMoCg-astfpunhnmWife. freCaptin's The Yarmouth Register publishes a letter from Mrs. Lucy J. Howes, wife of Capt. Benjamin P. Howes, who fell a victim to Chinese pirates, giving an affecting history of that tragical event, which occurred September 23, 1566: We had supper on deck that night about six o'clock, and had just finished our tea and were walking the deck, when our attention was called to a small Chinese junk coining directly towards us. She was soon within speaking distance, and it was almost calm. The junk could sail when we couldn't make any progress. The captain of the junk hailed us, wishing to know where we were bound, and if we wanted a pilot. By this time we began to mistrust his character, and as they ranged alongside, Benjamin (Capt. Howes) told them to keep off or he would blow them out of water, all to no purpose. Benjamin and the mate found their pistols unloaded and useless, and just as they got on deck again, the pirates were boarding us and throwing their stink-pots. Benjamin told me to go below, and I did as directed. Carrie was lying down on deck. I called for her, and Benjamin rushed up just in time to save her, for as he came below the shots were flying about his head. The pirates, to the number of ten, I should think, now rushed into the cabin upon us, und demanded gold and opium. We were terribly frightened. Benjamin told the mate it was of no use to fight, for they would overcome us and kill all hands. The pirates said, if we would not fight they would not hurt us. Benjamin told them there was no gold or opium on board, and 1 told them the same, and they seemed to pay more attention to me than to him, on account of my being so frightened, I suppose. The pirates now became very much excited, searching every hole and corner in the cabin. My trunks were turned inside out, and my room the same, and even the bed was torn nil to pieces. They then threatened us with death if gold and opium were found on board the brig. They said—" You speake lie, we kill you all three." My nurse went forward with the babe in the outset. After a while the pirates all left the cabin and went forward and between decks, to search among the cargo. We had a Chinese cook and steward, and it seems they, talked with them, for after a while they came below again, quite excited, demanding the gold, Sec., saying: " You got coolie man; coolie man say you got gold, you got opium—we want." They repeated this demand two or three times. At this time six or seven coolies and the head man, or captain of the gang, came below. Two stood by me, one with a drawn sword in his hand, and the other had his in the sheath. The rest of the gang seized Benjamin and tried to force him on deck, threatening all the time to take his life. They did not seem to want to kill him below. They struck him twice with the flat of their swords ; still he resisted and denied the existence of any gold in the brig. I again told them the same thing. They now looked first at me and then at him, then at each other. I was dreadfully frightened. The man who stood by me with his sword sheathed attempted to draw it and started toward Benjamin. I started and laid my hand on it to stop him, but he turned upon me very fiercely, without speaking, and drew his sword. I now thought it my best plan to keep quiet, but 1 believe my interference saved his life for the time being, but oh my God ! what a fearful night! We were guarded all the time by a man with a drawn sword at the cabin door, so there was no chance of escape, If I could have got out I would have jumped overboard rather than run the risk of being cut to pieces, as we expected to be. The pirates helped themselves to anything they wanted in the cabin, such as what money they could find, together with articles of jewelry, wines, &c. We now were left unmolested for a couple of hours, I should think. We both sat on the sofa with little Carrie between us, she asleep a part of the time. I asked Benjamin if he thought we should have to go through the same scene again. He answered that he could give me no hope to the contrary. He did not seem to think they would kill me and the children, at least, but we made up our minds to meet our fate and all go together. We both hoped to be shot, as that seemed to be the most merciful way of being killed. I could now see the pirates firing aloft, and heard them calling to the men to come down, and could distinguish the second mate's voice. We heard them at work stowing their boats, but most of the pirates had now left. After a while all was still, the tiring censed, but I could see a few of the pirates about the decks. At this time the man who guarded the cabin door pointed a musket right at my head. I dropped it on,to Benjamin's shoulder, exclaiming, " They are going to shoot us after all." (We had begun to have a slight hope of escape.) The cabin door swung open now, and Benjamin said, " It is our fate, Lucy, and we must meet it." A few seconds after this one of the bead men came into the cabin and spoke to us. He said they were going away then, and seemed very solemn. I sat up and spoke to him, too, begging him to spare our lives, but he paid no attention to me, but went again on deck. Immediately thereafter thefe was a shot. It was so near my head I thought I was hurt. Carrie was crying, but I heard nothing from Benjamin. 1 had almost fallen, but this fact recalled me. I looked at Benjamin and found he was dead. He never groaned or moved a muscle. I took his pulse to see if any life remained, and just then one of the pirates came down. I dropped on Benjamin's shoulder and let the blood flow over me, at the same time holding down Carrie, for I fancied he had come to dispatch us. I lifted my head and told him to shoot me. He lighted a small piece of candle and sat it within a few inches of my head on the table, (I believe he thought me wounded,) and then went on deck. The thought now flashed across my mind that Carrie was alive, and for her sake I ought to live, so I blew out the candle and dropped down on Benjamin's bosom, holding Carrie and hushing her under my breath all the while. I saw no more of them, but before leaving one of the pirates threw a block of wood weighing six pounds in at the window, which struck Carrie on the head and hit me on the side. Carrie's head was badly swollen and discolored, and my side considerably bruised. Jt is a wonder the child was not killed. 1 fancy he meant to kill me, and I kept so still I fancy they thought me dead. After this I heard no more of them. All was now quiet for a few minutes,only Carrie still crying. Directly I saw some one creeping cautiously around aft, and soon recognized the second mate. I took Carrie and went on deck, meeting him at the door. I told him the captain was killed, and asked him who was alive. He answered, " Mr. Hall, the mate, is dead, but there are two men besides myself alive." My nurse, I learned, jumped overboard, but first laid the babe down by the capstan on (he topgallant forecastle. The nurse, I suppose, was killed or drowned. Mrs. Howes then goes on to describe a narrow escape from being blown up, and as there was powder in the hold of the Lubra, the pirates bud laid and ignited trains with the view to the destruction of the ship by fire. The following evening the ship Lawrence came along-, nnd took those left alive and the bodies of the killed to Hongkong. Captain Howes was buried on the 25th of September—his funeral being the largest ever known at Hongkong. Mrs. Howes was very kindly treated by the people, and was waiting to aid in identifying the pirates, of whom the people were in search. Provincetown Whaling.—The Yarmouth Register says that the whole number of vessels in the whaling business from Frovincetown the present year is 43, carrying 750 men and boys. Of these 24 have arrived, bringing in about 2300 barrels of sperm oil and 3200 barrels of blackfish oil, being 700 barrels less in amount of sperm, and about 100 barrels more of blackfish than last year. The higher price, however, at which the sperm sold this year compensates, to a considerable extent, for the decrease in quantity, but one or two more vessels are expected to return the present season. On the whole, the business has been prosperous. The greatest voyage made was that ol schooner Mary (i. Curren, Win. Curren master. This schooner was new, and sailed at a cost of $24,500, and after an absence of fifteen months, sent and brought home 800 barrels of oil, which sold for $45,000, leaving for the owners a net profit ofabout $21,-000. Several new vessels in process of building, are to be added in the coming season to the fleet.—Repub. Standard, N. B. October, 1866.
