THE OLDEST COUNTRY.
It is common to hear residents on the
Sandwich Islands, and even the inhabitants
of America, speak of visiting the old countries, referring to England and Europe. They
may be old, but they are young when spoken
of in comparison with Egypt. This is, par
excellence, the oldest country on earth. It
must have become densely peopled shortly
after the flood. Then must have been laid
the foundations of those gigantic monuments
of antiquity which remain to testify in regard to the civilization and skill, intelligence
and condition of the inhabitants. Egypt
flourished long before Greece*and Rome had
an existence. Egypt was an old country
when Herodotus, the father ef profane history, visited that land five hundred years before the birth of our Saviour. From the days
of Herodotus, yes, even from the days of'
Abraham, visitors have resorted to Egypt to
explore its monuments of antiquity. Thus
for a period of nearly tour thousand years,
the wise and learned, the sage philosopher
and the curioot antiquarian, the statesman
and the mere tourist, have made Egypt the
region of their explorations and observations.
The museums of Europe and America
have been enriched from the ruins of Egypt.

oldest of countries, we found an abundance
of curiosities taken away from this old land.
One might well ask, What can there be left ?
We can only answer, Egypt is not yet exhausted." Every year new discoveries are
made, and from the extensive ruins now scattered throughout both upper and lower Egypt,
we doubt not antiquarian explorers will continue to find abundant relics of olden timet,
to reward them for their labors and expenditures. Within a few years the Egyptian
Viceroys have commenced a museum, confined exclusively to relics and curiosities of
the country; and we find this museum
abounding with hundreds of specimens of the
rarest interest, viewed either historically or
as an exhibition of tne skill and workmanship
of the ancient dwellers on the hanks of the
Nile. This museum we visited on the 22d
of December, and were richly rewarded for
our morning's walk. It is situated about one
mile from the centre of Cairo, and immediately on the banks of the Nile. It is free to
the public, and was established in 1864. If
so much could have been collected in four or
five years, what a splendid collection might
not have been made had the rulers of Egypt
gathered together the rich stores of antiquity,
instead of allowing them to pass out of the
country to enrich the museums of Europe
"
and America!
In the New York Independent of the 18th
of August we find a correspondent thus writing respecting the Egyptian Museum in the
city of Berlin, Prussia .*
The chief scientific feature of Berlin is
its"Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. Walking through its cabinets for a couple of hours,
one can read the whole history of Egypt
three thousand years ago—its religion, its
art, and its domestic life. It is probably not
surpassed for its specialty by any collection
in Europe. A curious feature in this museum are the tomb-chambers, brought in fragments by Professor Lepsius from trie Necropolis al Memphis, and re-built here in their
original form. It was very interesting to
light a candle and walk into the final abode
of one of the Pharaohs without an invitation
from its royal proprietor. The collection is
not so well guarded as it might to be, considering its great value."
THE NILE

THE NILE
!
This is the most wonderful of rivers. Its
wonderful overflowings have from the earliest
period enriched the country. Egypt without the Nile would have resembled the sandy
desert of Arabia and Sahara. Its sources
are still one of those geographical problems
which have baffled the research of explorers
for 3,000 years. Perhaps in no age previous
to the present, has so much interest been
manifested to ascertain if possible the true
source or sources of this mysterious, wonderful and fruitful river.
The following statistics respecting the Nile

According to a register kept by the French
while they held Egypt, we learn that the
river usually commences to rise in the latter
part of June, und goes on rising until about
the 25th of September, when it attains its
maximum. After that date it gradually subsides until the river is confined to its ordinary channel, about the Ist of December.
We find great diversity of opinion in regnrd to the height to which the Nile rises.
One authority gives only about twenty fe*l,
while another .states it to be forty, adding,
" forty-two would do immense injury io the
country." SVc suppose the measurements

Missionaries under this Board have been
laboring about ten years in various parts
ol Egypt, and have secured a linn hold,
principally upon the Coptic population, although not confining themselves exclusively
to that portion of the population of Egypt.
They have stations at Alexandria, Cairo,
Osiout, Fayoum, Ghous, and Mansoura. It
was our privilege to become acquainted with
some of the missionaries located at Cairo,
and their families. From what we saw and
heard, they are men and women worthy of
the name of American missionaries—earnest, laborious, persistent, devoted and intelligent. Some of their number enjoy the reputation of being fine scholars in the Arabic
and other Oriental languages. They are
engaged in pleaching, in schools, and in visiting among the people.
It was our privilege to attend the Arabic
service on the morning of December 18th, at
tho mission chapel. About 75 Egyptians
were present. Such is the strength of the
Oriental custom in Egypt respecting the
presence of females with males in a Christian congregation, that the sexes are separated by a curtain. Never did we witness
more thoughtful attention than was manifested by the men as they listened to the
preaching ol the Rev. Mr. Ewing. His services were conducted much after the style of
Presbyterian and Congregational worship in
the United States.

company with Judge Austin, the schools

enterprise.
We learned that the missionaries are exerting a powerful influence, indirectly as
well as directly, upon the Egyptians. Their
influence has been effectual to quicken the
zeal of the government in the education of
the people, and particularly the sect of the
Coptics. In order to hold on to their chil-
dren, the Coptics see they must educate their
children. We became acquainted with a
young man by the name of George Malati,
a Coptic, who was for ten years in the American mission school. He is now Professor
of the English language in a government
school, and also teaches English in a Coptic
school attached to the cathedral. From him
we learned much respecting the native population, and the success of missionary operations. He pointed out to us the grand and
marked distinction between the doctrines of
the Coptic church and Protestant Christians.
They principally relate to these points :
1. Confession.
91
The preaching of a pure faith and spiritual
religion has had the same general result
here in Egypt which it had in the primitive
age, and in modern nominally Christian
countries. Persecution has been the result,
but the new converts have stood the test,
and have maintained their Christian integrity. We are glad to learn that such a
moral force has been brought to bear upon
the Viceroy's government, thut now the adherents of a purer form of Christianity arc
no longer molested. " For the exercise of
this moral force," remark the missionaries in
their annual report for 1868, "we are especially indebted to the British Government,
acting through its efficient Consul here, Mr.
Thomas F. Reade." This is another honorable example, wherein the consular agents
of Great Brituin have exerted the moral
power of their position in promoting the work
of evangelization among the Oriental nations. Similar efforts have been put forth
with like success at Constantinople and in
Persia, and our American missionaries have
acknowledged the timely aid thus rendered.
From all these sources, it is cheering to
learn that a brighter day has dawned upon
Egypt. Some thirty years ago Lord Lindsay traveled through Egypt and the Holy
Land. As he surveyed the moral and spiritual condition of the inhabitants, the prospects looked dark and discouraging; yet in
his journal and letters, we find him breathing forth the prayer that a brighter day
might dawn. Thus he writes:
O soon ! may the day-star rise,

India. While on his journey thither he
passed through Cairo, in Egypt. During his
brief sojourn there he attended an examination of the school of the American mission.
At the time there was a pupil of prepossessing appearance, a young girl, whose father
was an Englishman, and whose mother was
a Nubian. She recited her Sunday-school
lesson so remarkably well, remarked the
American Consul, that when the young
Rajah left the school-room he handed the
missionary "twenty-five Napoleons," orsloo.
This, however, was merely preliminary to
the offer of his hand in marriage to the young
Nubian. The circumstances were so unexpected, and the disparity in the social position of the parties so great, that the missionary advised delay. " Very well," replied the
Rajah, " but it will be all the same." He

laws required him still to defer the marriage

other for himself. He daily visited her, and
when the fourteen days were ended he married, and proceeded with his young bride to
England, where they are now living most

children.
Maharajah does not forget the mission and
the missionaries where his wife was educated.
Annually he has contributed £1,000, or
$5,000, in gold for the support of this mission. This contribution is still continued,
and may be seen duly acknowledged in the
annual reports of the mission. In other
ways he has also indicated that he is a true
friend of this mission. When the mission
was straightened for funds to carry forward
its operations, he gathered a meeting in Exeter Hall, London, and made an appeal for
funds. His wife has proved herself in every
respect worthy of the position which she was
invited to occupy, and now adorns it by an
■exhibition of those Christian, and maternal
virtues which entitle her to the esteem of
even the Queen of England.

OCTOBER, 1810.
Transportation of Egyptian obelisks to cargo cross the Mediterranean and
Europe.
the Tiber to Rome. The obelisk was
Among the curious inquirers into matters
of history and mechanics, it has always been
a mystery how the ancients transported such
immense blocks of solid granite. The following remarks upon this subject we copy
from the April number of " London Society." W*e would particularly call the reader's
attention to the efforts of the French engineer, M. Lebas, who superintended the removal of the obelisk, now standing in Paris
where the guillotine formerly stood.
How did the Romans bring such ponderous masses across the Mediterranean from
Egypt to Italy ; and, still more difficult,
how did they bring them down or through
Egypt to Alexandria ? Pliny describes some
of the arrangements connected with an obelisk a hundred and twenty feet high, erected
at Alexandria by Ptolemseus Philadelphia.
A cana! was dug from the Nile to the place
where the obelisk lay. Two boats were
placed side by side, filled with pieces of stone
having the aggregate weight of the obelisk ;
these pieces were in masses of one cubic foot
each ; so that the ratio between the quantity
of matter in the obelisk and that held by the
boats could be determined by n little calculation. The boats were laden to twice the
weight of the obelisk, in order that they
might pass under it: the two ends of the
mighty monolith resting on the two banks of
the canal. Then, as the pieces of stone were
taken out one by one, the boats rose, until at
last they supported the obelisk. They were
finally towed down the canal, bearing their
burden with them. So far Pliny's account
is clear; but he tells us little or nothing of
the tremendous task, performed ages before,
of originally transporting such masses from
the Syene quarries to Thebes and Heliopolis.
It seems probable that the Egyptian obelisks
were set up near the Nile ; and a part of the
labor resolved itself into transport by means
of rafts or boats. An account is given by
Herodotus of the transport of a large block
of granite to form a monolith temple. The
block measured thirty-two feet long, twentyone feet wide, and twelve leet high; its
weight is estimated to have been not less
than three hundred tons. The transport of
this huge mass down the Nile, from Syene
to the Delta, occupied two thousand men for
three years. We know from other sources
that the poor ill-used slave-laborers («• Retschid fellahs," as one of our punsters has
called them) were employed in vast numbers
in pyramid building and other heavy works;
and there are trices here and there, among
the bas-reliefs of the British Museum, of
mechanical appliances used in such labor as
this.
So far as Rome is concerned, we have a
few accounts extant of the mode of bringing
obelisks across the Mediterranean, and setting them up in new localities. When Constaotius caused the Lateran obelisk (as it is
now called) to be* moved from Heliopolis to
Alexandria, Constantino arranged for its further removal to Europe. A ship was built
expressly for this purpose, manned by three
hundred rowers ; and on this ship the obelisk
was floated. Laboriously did tho immense
ascend
moved
on rollers through the Gate of Ostia to the
Circus Muximus. Large beams of wood
were then pluced upright, and firmly cmbedded in the ground j strong ropes were
passed from beam to l>eum in various directions, and by means of these (probably aided
by pulleys) the small end of the obelisk was
gradually raised until the proper vertical
portion was attained, Nor has modern
Rome failed to do something in this way.
What the emperors began in ancient days,
the popes continued in more recent times.
When, in the sixteenth century, many of the
Egyptian obelisks were about to be re-erected
at Rome, means had to be devised for moving such ponderous masses. No less than
five hundred different plans are said to have
been submitted by architects and engineers
to Pope Sixtus the Sixth, for raising the obelisk which now stands in front of St. Peter's;
and Fonlana is considered to have achieved
wonders when, by the aid of many hundreds
of men and horses, hefulfilled theallotted task.
Our French neighbors have shown themselves deficient neither in spirit nor in skill
in this matter of Egyptian obelisks. When
Mahomet Ali presented the French Government with one of the two noble Luxor obelisks, measures were at once taken to utilize
the gift. The government resolved to transport it to Paris, and to set it up in some place
of honor. M. Lebas, a skillful engineer, was
entrusted with the task; and severely indeed
did it tax his energies and ingenuity. Let
us see how he accomplished it. He built a
vessel expressly for the purpose, and set off
from Toulon to Alexandria in 1831, accompanied by a hundred and fifty workmen.
Slowly and with great difficulty was this
vessel navigated up the Nile, from Alexandria to Thebes. Eight hundred men were
then employed for three months in making
an inclined plane from the river's bank up
to the place where the obelisk stood, a distance of about a quarter of a mile. Next
ensued the tedious lalior of lowering and
moving this mass of granite, weighing little
less than two hundred and fifty tons. The
obelisk was encased in timber, to avert fracture and injury. Moved down to the riverside by an immense application of manual
labor and mechanical contrivances, it was
placed at length on board the vessel. The
voyage down the Nile commenced, after
waiting nine months for a sufficient depth
of water. The river journey took three
months, and Alexandria was reached towards the close of the year 1832. A whole
year was then spent in a series of voyages,
amid multiplied difficulties—first to Toulon,
then to Cherbourg, then to Havre, and then
up the Seine to Paris, where the weighty
monolith arrived nhout Christinas, 1833. It
was necessary to construct a pedestal of
massive materials, on which to set up the
obelisk. Blocks of granite were brought
from Brittany, the largest of which measured
ten feet by ten, and sixteen feet in height.
An inclined plane was then made, leading
up from the banks of the Seine to the Place
de la Concorde, where a platform of rough
masonry was formed on a level with the top
of the pedestal. The obelisk, placed on a
timber stage or car, was dragged up this
plane by means ofropes and capstans. One
edge of its base having been brought to the
edge of the pedestal, the raising of the
smaller end whs effected by ropes and pulleys attached to the heads of ten masts, five
on «ach side. It was tough und tedious
work ; but at length, on the 2. )th of October.
1536,Lebas had the satisfaction of seeing
the Luxor obelisk elevnted into its place—
after a series o( operations which had engaged his almost undivided attention for the
r
greater part of six years.
Niihau.—A recent visitor to the island of
Niihau thus describes the island, under dat<;
of September Ith
"On the island ol Niihau the Sinclair*
have, I think, their full heart's desire. I
never was more pleasantly disappointed in
regard to any place. Viewed from Kauai,
:
it presents a most uninteresting appearance,
which is very deceptive. It is about twenty
miles long, and five or six wide, containing
over sixty thousand acres of land. The
greater part nflbrds most excellent pasturage,
especially for sheep. It is a strange fact
(and I was informed by Mr. Sinclair that it
was true) that kibainiat would not grow on
the island. Were it not for this fact, the
wool would deteriorate in price. In one of
my rides about the island I was shown some
subterranean caves, in which were growing
with great luxuriance the breadfruit, hau,
and many other trees. This was within a
stone's throw of the ocean. There are many
delightful rides about the island. 1 never
spent ten days more pleasantly. A person
enjoying hunting and fishing can there find
sport, such as I have not seen on any other
island of the group."
Our correspondent thus writes about Kaula
and Lehua, which are seldom visited :
•• I will now take you to Kaula. and Lehua,
the last two islands of the group. The latter I first visited in company with the Rev.
Mr. Kaukau. We were taken across by a
fisherman. Our principal object was to obtain some rabbits. On Tuesday, August
23d, we started in a whaleboat for Kaula,
distant about twenty miles. There were
nine of us in the boat. We arrived about 8
or 9, A. M. It is impossible for a boat to
land, the surf being very high. We were
obliged to swim ashore. This is a small,
but quite a noted island. The king and
chiefs were accustomed to visit it in former
times. The late King when he visited it
swani on shore with the Hawaiian flag, and
declared war against the myriads of birds,
the only inhabitants of the island. The natives told me that 1 was the second white
man who had ever been on the island. The
other was Mr. Neilson, who went with the
late King. The natives of Kauai think
more of visiting Kaula than they would of
going to Honolulu or Hawaii. We remained
on the island several hours4 and caught great
numbers of the birds. The young of these
sea birds are very good eating, resembling
the young pigeon. We reached the island
of Niihau again at midnight.
" Sunday before last the Rev. Mr. Dole
(so Teport says) preached about choosing a
wife. It happened that Sunday that not one
of the bachelors of Kauai (of which there are
quite a number) were there to profit by it."

Cotton Seed.—Among the
happy results of the late war in the United
States must be enumerated the development
and resources of the Southern Slates. This
appears in the use now made of cotton seed,
which in the days of slavery was accounted
utterly valueless. By machinery which has
been invented, the exterior coating of the
seed is removed. The oil is then extracted,
and proves to be of a most excellent quality,
and may be employed for all purposes—for
the toilet of a lady to the lubricating of heavy
machinery. One report says that it equals
olive oil for culinary purposes. It may be
mixed with other oils, and forms a good substance for light. It may be obtained in great
abundance, at the ratio of one barrel to every
four bales of cotton. Estimating the cotton
crop at 4,000,000 bales, then 1,000,000 barrels of oil may be produced. Large quantities are now shipped to the New York and
other markets. There is quite satisfactory
reason why whale oil should be reduced in
price.

Successful Trip of the Annie.—This
little vessel of seventy tons took the place of
the lost Morning Star. She left for Ascension in July, and returned on the 27th of
October. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham,
Rev. Mr. Mahoe, wife and four children,
and the widow of Mr. Kaelemakule, late
missionary on Namarik, came as passengers.
Joseph, a Gilbert Islander, came up to assist
Mr. Bingham in the translation of the New
Testament and other books. The Annie
during her cruise visited several islands of
the Gilbert and Marshall groups, where there
are missionary stations, and found the work
of the missionaries very prosperous and
hopeful. The visit of the Jamestown exerted a happy influence in promoting peace
among the islanders. Mr. Bingham still

THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GHIZEH.
There are many pyramids in Egypt, but
there is only one that merits consideration.
This Pyramid of Ghizeh is the highestof nil,
being 479 feet in height, stnnding upon a
base 767 feet square, covering thirteen
acres ! It is situated a few miles above
Cairo, on the west bunk of the Nile. This
is the pyramid usually visited by tourists,
and the only one really worthy of examination. It was our privilege to ascend it, and
also to penetrate to its inmost recess ; but as
descriptions of the numerous visitors are so
frequently published, we shall spare our
readers. We cannot, however, refrain from
alluding to the question which has taxed the
energies of so many learned and gifted men:
For what was this pyramid built? Was it
merely for a tomb of an ancient king of
Egypt ? Was it for astronomical purposes ?
Why was it built? That is the question,
and a very difficult question.
Sir John Herschel saw in it only an observatory to indicate the position of the North
or Polar star. Strange to say, that star,
2,000 years B. C, stood in such a position
in the heavens that it might be seen by a
person who had penetrated to the centre of
the pyramid, and would look through a tube
342 feet long ! Under these circumstances,
it could be seen at midday. Astronomers
tell us that this star will not occupy that exact position again until a cycle of 26,000
years shall be completed.
Within a few years, Prof. Smyth, Astronomer Royal of Scotland, has published a
volume, entitled, " Our inheritance in the
Great Pyramid." In this volume he has
gone into a vast amount of calculations respecting this pyramid, and among others, he
calculates "that a certain hollow, empty,

THE FRIEND.
"Dr. Van Dyck, one of the American
missionaries at Beirut, Syria, has established
a dispensary especislly for diseases of the
eye. Its cost for (he year is $1,600, and the
number ofpatients treated is 1,800."— Eng-
lish paper.
Our readers will notice that the physician
referred to in the above paragraph from a
late English paper, is the same gentleman as
they will find noticed in the sketch which
wo hnve given of "our" visit to Beirut.
He is not only an eminent physician, but is
also deeply versed in the Arabic vr.rnnciilar,
and has completed —as we have remarked
the translation of the Bible commenced by
the Rev. Eli Smith. It was our privilege
to visit his ho<pitnl and dispensary. He is
also a practical printer, and in nddition, has
actually been engaged in casting a " font"
of types in the Arabic language. Strange as
it may appear, so much superior were the
types cast at ihc extemporized type J'onndrg (which we saw in active operation) of
the American missionaries nt Beirut, that
about the time of our visit, no order was received for a font" of Arabic type from Berlin, in Prussia. The labors of such men as
those American missionaries at Beirut are
an honor to any country or age. One of
them, the Rev. Dr. Jessup, has recently been
invited to return to the United States to become Secrclary of the Presbyterian Board of
—
"
He promptly declined to
retire from the missionary field, preferring to
remain at Beirut rather than accept ol one
of the most honored posts in the gift of the
church. Most heartily do we approve of his
decision. The idea of inviting a foreign missionary to a position at homeappears absurd.
The command is "go," not "return." Instead of recnlling u missionary, the greut
Presbyterian Church should send abroad a
hundred.
Hard
Case.—Writers upholding thecoolie
should affix their names to their editorials and communications, for it is rather
hard that they should speak in the name of
the community, and thus leave readers
abroad to infer that the community at large
on the Sandwich Islands approves of the
coolio traffic. See San Francisco papers,
Alta nrid /lit/letin. A word to the wise
ought to be sufficient.
Foreign Subscribers

Fast Age.—The indications of this being
fast age multiply very rnpidly. Recently
mi ant has been imported at Honolulu, which
first makes its appearance decked with wings.
These are suddenly laid aside, and the little
rreaHire passes into ti new form of being,and
in the shape of a worm, commences its work
of destruction. New books are its special
object of attack. Old Doctor Samuel Johnson said lie never rend a book through in his
life, although he wus the author of the good
English dictionary and the lives of the pools,
yet this little worm will go through a book,
from title page to fin in, in one night. They
do not wait until the books are stowed away
in the garret and are covered with cobwebsand dust, but attack new books ; the newer
the better. They have not the least resjiect
for the celebrated Brooklyn divine. A new
presentation volume of his sermons lying on
our centre table exhibits repeated marks of
their lawless attacks. Whether they have
discovered something erroneous in his theology, or desire to pick in pieces his style, we
cannot say. The fact is patent, and the reason doubtful. If the creatures had done the
thing but once, the matter would not be so
difficult a puzzle. Again and again have
they renewed their attacks. They are as
persistent ns the Prussians upon the French,
following up every advnntage, nnd not discouraged by defeat. All we can say is, this
is a fa.it tti/t.

Dates and Facts to be Noted.-On the
14th. ofjtdg, Pope declared infallible, which
means according to a Catholic Bishop of the
United Slates, that the Pope-is infallible
when lie speaks the truth ! On the Ibth if
J/i/g France declared war against Prussia.
The great battle of Sedan September 2d, and
the capture of the Emperor occurred simultaneously with the fall of the temporal power
of the Pope, an event of marked historical
significance.
A Card.—The Chaplain would thankfully
acknowledge from seamen of the United
Stntes sloop of war Jannxlitwn, the sum of
$13, contributed for the support of the
Friend.
TheResponibil ty of the Press.-Mankind possess coiiimoii sense, or the instinct
of right reason, which instantly pronounces
a judgment of approval or condemnation,
growing out of the impression mude by every
fact presented to the mind. Whereon it follows that the power of the press rests in facts
or truth, and in the mnnner in which the
facts or truth are represented or misrepresented before the reader.
It is Cooper, the novelist, who says that
no word spoken is emr lost, l>ut its toavet
of sound panning beyond our hearing, remain distinct in some part of tind'.i great,
unirtr.ii, in tiling for the dag when tetrg
idle wort/ xhall come into jittlgment.
The falsehood or the truth of the press is
multiplied by ten thousand sheets which reprint that truth or falsehood on the impressible minds of ten thousand readers, where it
reproduces its truth or falsehood in spoken
words, so that every weekly utterance o(
truth or falsehood produces ten times ten
thousand echoes, which wait in patience the
solemn day ofreckoning.—, f mericau paper.
God's Plan of Your Life.—Never complain of your birth, your training, your employment, your hardships ; never fancy that
you could be something, if you had a different lot assigned to you. God understands
his own plan, nnd he knows what you want
a great deal better than you do. The very
things that you deprecate ns fatal limitations,
obstructions, are probably what you most
want. What yon call hinderances, obstacles, discouragements, are probably God's
opportunities; and it is nothing new that the
patient should dislike his medicines, or any
certain proof that they arc poisonous. No!
n truce to such impatience. Choke that foolish envy which gnaws at your heart because
you are not in the same lot with others ;
bring down your soul, or rather bring it up
to receive God's will, and do His work in
your hit, in your sphere, under your cloud
of obscurity, against your temptations ; and
then you shall find that your condition is
never opposed to your good, but really consistent with it.— liiifihmll.

" Tho world wants men —large-hearted, manly men
Men who shall join its chorus, and prolong
Tlie psalm of labor and the psalm of love.
The times want scholars —scholars who shall shape
The doubtful destinies of dubious years,
And land the ark, that bears our country's good,
•Sato on some peaceful Ararat at last.
The age wants heroei —heroes who shall dare
To struggle in the solid ranks of tin th ;
To clutch the monster error by the throat ;
To bear opinion to a loftier seat;
To blot the era of oppression out.
And lead a universal freedom in.
Ami Heaven wants souls—fresh and capacious souls
to taste its raptures, and expand, like tlowers,
lleneath the glory of its central sun.
It wants fresh souls—nut lean and shrivelled ones ;
It wants fresh souls, my brother—ffssj it thine.
If thou indeed wilt be what soholiirs should ;
If thou wilt be u hero, and wilt strive
To help thy fellow and exalt thyself.
Thy feet, at last, shall stand on jasper floors,
Thy heart, at lust, shall seem a thousand hearts—
Ivioh single heart with myriad raptures tilled—
While thou shall sit with princes and with kiugs,
liich in the jewel of a ransomed soul."

The Petrified Fern.
In a valley, centuries ago.
Grew a little fern leaf, green and slender—
Veining delicate, aud fibres tender—
Waving, when the wind crept'down so low;
Hushes tall, and moss, nnd gross grew round it,
Playful sanbeams darted in and found it.
Drops of dew stole in, by night, and crowued it,
But do foot of man e'er trod that way;
Earth was young, and keeping holiday.
Monster fishes swam the silent main,
Stately forests wared their giant branches.
Mountains hurled their snowy avalanches,
Mammoth creatures stalked across the plain
Nature revelled in grand mysteries.
But the little fern was not of these.

Inly grew and waved, its sweet wild way,—

thinks, perhaps, thut this is because everything in nature crosses his wishes und plans.
But it is because he has undertaken to cross
the plans and wishes of the God of nature.
And this is the reason why a cross man is
not successful, and is not happy. He acknowledges that he is not. He is growling
about it nil the time. He is an illustration,
in the very etymology of his name, that the
way of the transfrresmr is hard; that the
wag itself is quite as hard as the bed which
he is to sleep upon when he comes to his
journey's end.

A CROSS WAY IS A HARD WAV.
This is, indeed, one of those cases where
the old derivation or etymology of the words
is still a guide as to the truth which they
convey. A transgressor is one who goes
across the ways and boundaries which God
has appointed. The word is a Latin word,
which expresses the same idea as our English word " tres-passer." The transgressor
or trespasser is a man with a passion for
short cuts ; constantly flattering himself that
he sees better paths for his purposes than
God's paths, better ways than God's ways.
Leaving God's ways, therefore, to try his
own experiments, he is engaged at once in
stepping over and into other people's furrows ; he loses time and patience at brooks,
where he walks up and down in soggy meadows, trying to find easy places to jump
across, because there is no bridge ; he misses
his spring when the jumping moment comes,
because the tuft of grass is insecure from
which he leaps ; lie wades out upon the mud
on his hands and feet, recovering from his
fall as well as he may; and yet he must
plunge on in this same cross-cut of his own
surveying, partly from a pride which will
not give up, partly from a mistaken feeling
that it will be just as hard to go back over a
route which has proved so unsatisfactory.
The whole difficulty, perhaps, is expressed
in the syllable trans of transgressor," or in
**)* tres of trespasser,"" which mean
" The transgressor at hisalike

own
pleasiire e.mB nerosg all boundaries, even
a cruel, fanatic, determined race ; and she
inherits its force and decision. She marries
a weak husband, fond of luxury, fond of
peace. Because he is fond of peace, he has
married the daughter of his strongest neighbor. Because he is fond of luxury, he is
willing to introduce at his court all the magnificence of her father's. She travels in
pomp to her new home, and takes with her
a thousand ecclesiastics—priests and preachers,—who are to sustain the gorgeous ritual
to which she is used since her childhood.
Whoever insults one of these insults her.
Whoever insults her payS penalty with his
life. Her husband, like Macbeth, is slow to
take on himself the prompt murders and attendant crimes of her ambition. Little she
recks ; she will use his signet, she will give
his orders, she will hersell send her own enemies out of her way. He comes home one
day, complaining, like. David, that he cannot
obtain such a piece of land to add to the palace grounds. •« Are you king, or not ? "
says the proud woman. And she herself
writes the false accusation of the unhappy
land-owner; she charges him falsely with
blasphemy, punishable by death; she fixes
the king's seal to the accusation ; and, when
the poor wretch is killed, she comes in triumph to the king, who hud just a shade of
conscience ; she bids him take the coveted
garden for his own. Meanwhile, through
His life and after his death, she makes her
own name notorious hy her shameless adulteries. A thousand years after, the latest

community, does it in borAnd lo this hour the
meanest drunkard, wishing- to abuse the
scold who has sunk lower than himself,
takes that same name to revile her. Even
the innocent child lisping its catechism, and
asked who is the worst woman who ever
lived, answers, "Jezebel."
Take such a transgressor ns she,—a transgressor, all whose ways were made as easy
as rank and gold and a woman's will could
make them ; as easy to the last as triumph
could ma ko them. I say nothing of the close
of thut life. I say nothing of the result to
which those ways led her. I speak of the
ways themselves. Is it not, on any conception of the story, clear, that they must have
been hard ways all along ? These devilish
intrigues, these murders of the innocent, this
scorn for her husband, this shifting of her
lovers, these state-craft ingenuities; even
the pride of place, even the pomp of retinue,
even the low, sensual enjoyment of the table,
which is the enjoyment she shares with the
pig, or the condor, or the boa constrictor,—is
there, in such a life of fierce passion, of
steady transgression, is there any hope, even
for enjoyment, in it all ? It is clear that, in
the meanest hovel on the plain of Esdrael,
the simplest woman who loved her husband
and her children, und tried not to cross over
the ways her God had appointed, found more
in life than did the queen. That woman
lived more, carried out her own real wishes
more, succeeded more, even enjoyed more,
her ways were more smooth, her journey
more successful, than the most triumphant
ways of the crowned transgressor.

The regular meeting of the Association for October took place at the Reading
Room on Friday evening, the 28th ult. The
attendance was rather thin, owing doubtless
to the stormy weather. Minutes read and
committees reported. The main business of
the evening was the discussion of the report
of the Reading Room Committee on the list
of papers and periodicals to be taken for the
Reading Room during the coming twelve
months, which passed with several amendments. Some new and interesting papers
will be added to the list, and one or two of
the old ones be dropped off.
The following from Saratoga appeared
" The
Young Men's Christian Association, having
appointed a Committee of Five to suppress
the gambling houses here, Ford & Allen,

Thursday the officers visited the Hon. John
Morrissey's gambling saloon and took an inventory of implements, which he agreed to
deliver to them on Monday."

THE RIEND.
End of the Year.
With this number we conclude another
volume of the Friend, and hope to commence n new volume on the Ist of January,
1871. We have not much now to say about
our principles, or the manner of executing
our duties as editor and publisher. The
manner in which we have been encouraged
to publish this monthly sheet for so many
years, has been convincing proof that there
was a need of the same, and that it filled a
niche in the temple of newspapers and periodicals which was occupied by no other publication. Thankful for past favors, grateful
for present support, and hopeful for the time
to come, we go forth to meet the " shadowy
future."
tH7" With this issue we conclude our
Notes
and Reflections," commenced in
"May, 1869.
We have published thirteen
"
numbers " on America, and " eleven numbers " on our journey through England,
France, Italy, Egypt, Syria and Greece,
equaling in printed matter a " 12-mo." volume of 200 pages. It affords us much gratification that our sketches of travel, jotted
down while rapidly passing along from one
country to another, have been perused with
interest by our readers on land and sea.
We have had frequent applications for the
entire series, and shall be ready to furnish
them, either stitched or in bound volumes of
the Friend.

HONOLULU, uECKMBtiIt I, 1810.
He chose for his text the words of Peter in
his first epistle, 2:17: "Honor all men."
Some men, he remarked, would of course be
honored, for mankind took special delight
in hero-worship. Euch nation had its idols,
and military chieftains were admired by all.
The sentiment of the text, however, inculcnting the doctrine that man, simply because he
was a man, was deserving of honor, because
ho was created originally in God's image,
and however debased, still retained the elements of his divine and immortal nature.
The subject was carefully elaborated and
beautifully illustrated. In the conclusion, he

progress in the treatment which MM as
man was now receiving. The entire discourse was pervaded with the spirit of divine philosophy and a truly Christian democratic element. It was quite timely, and

ACTS
27:4.
When the Apostle Paul, accompanied by
the Evangelist Luke, made their voyage
from Palestine to Rome, as recorded in the
closing chapters of the Book of Acts, the historian Luke remarks, We sailed under
Cyprus." When making our passage from
Palestine to Rome, eighteen hundred years
subsequently, we too sailed, or rather steamed
under Cyprus, and came to anchor in the
beautiful Bay of Larnaca, on the southeast
shore. Our steamer entered the harbor or
roadstead before daylight on the morning of
January sth, 1870,after a passage of twelve
hour? from Beirut. It is a beautiful bay.
The surrounding country appears hilly, and
in the distance mountains of moderate size
rise above the hills. At present the hills appear exceedingly barren and destitute of verdure. Our vessel came to anchor in clear
and smooth water, about one-eighth of a
mile from the landing place. We found here
an American Consul, General L. P. di Cesnola. He is an Italian by birth, but was a
General in the late war, and is married to a
"
New York lady. He received this appointment at the close of the war. The salary is
only $1,000 per annum, but most fortunately
for the General, he has succeeded in making
some of the most valaable discoveries of ancient tombs, and from these he has taken
relics, which nre of great value- historically
and archasologically. These discoveries relate to a remote period when the Phoenicians
held the island. Some of these are of an
Egyptian type, while others are of Babylonian, Grecian and Roman type; hence historically they are of great value. Already has
General Cesnola opened about three thousand tombs, From these he has taken a
great number of specimens of pottery, sculp-

THE FRIEND,
[Bv.trscts from s private letter!
BiAofomatMnerhdceiBng rooklyn.
One more meeting of this goodly Board of
Foreign Missions is over. Brooklyn with
lier "many churches" witnessed -this year
the meeting of this nohle body. It was
one of rare interest and importance, for you
know that it was the last time that Presbyterian and Congregationalist met on the
this separa" old-time footing. Though
tion cast something of a shadow over the
meeting, yet the true Christian feeling manifested on both sides did much to lessen this.
The business matters attending such a
change, and the arrangement of different
mission fields, occupied much of the time.
However, there were grand meetings at the
Academy of Music, where (he number in atli'tiiliincc gave evidence of the deep interest
felt in the subject of missions. In fact, this
whole session of the Board has been eminently characterized by a true noble tone—
a more than wonted spirit. The presence
of several English gentlemen imparted a.'
peculiar interest to a number of the meetings, and their pleasant, hearty words—truly
English words —many will cherish. You
will, through the papers, learn of the various
eloquent addresses made. Of the men themselves I would write, did I not know full
well that you still retain a " mind-picture "
of the grand group, ever present at this annual meeting. From many distant fields
ef labor came news of Christian warfare and
of victory—of bright hopes of future blessing.
Though in the "great assembly" one finds
much of interest, yet it is in the meeting devoted exclusively to the missionaries that
ww feels the trim mission, of Christ's followers. Here where all restraint is removed,
they tell of their life in far-off" homes, of their
trials and their " heart-aches," but above all,
of the peace and joy they find in leaching of
the Master. One meeting in particular I remember, where in eighteen different languages that ever precious verse, "Jesus
wept," was repeated. And then with perhaps a want of harmony of tone at times, but
never of heart, "Come to Jesus " was sung.
On Tuesday evening Dr. Steams, of Newark, opened the services of the week with the
annual sermon. On Wednesday morning I
found myself with the great multitude moving toward the Academy of Music. This
really opening service was occupied in a
very great measure with business. It was
very pleasant to meet old friends and familiar faces continually, and to watch the joyous meetings of missionaries, true veterans
in the service, alter so many yean of sepa-
"
ration.
After this morning service the missionaries went to the vcstry-rooin of the Church

of the Pilgrims." As this was only for real
tnissioiiririrs and their children, 1 thought I
might not gain admission, but when I saw
so many islanders, I doubted not I would be
welcome. I think we enjoyed these meetings most of all. Here I met the Grouts
from Africa. Mrs. G. sends much love
to her old school-mate. A bright, cheerful
little lady is this Mrs. Grout. Then there
were missionaries from Syria, India, north
and south —from Turkey, in Europe, in
Asia—from Africa, and many from our own
Islands and Micronesia. There seemed to be
much more heart in these meetings than in
those great gatherings in Music Hall.
One afternoon was given up quite to the
Islands. Mr. Coan spoke in his own sweet
way ; Dr. Gulick was more fiery and fluent
than ever, and Dr. Clark told of his recent
visit to the group. Now the connection between the Board and the Islands ceases. A
truly grand work has been done.
Each meeting brought much of interest.
I enjoyed hearing these rare men of whom I
had so often read —President Hopkins, Dr.
Bacon, Storrs, Beecher, Albert Barnes, &c.
You will find in the papers far better accounts of each meeting than I could give.
Several gentlemen from England spoke,
one very eloquently. President Gulliver, of
Knox College, made perhaps the most telling speech of all. Mr. Beecher in his humorous, yet powerful way, seemed completely lo
rule the audience. Whnt a wonderful power
this man possesses ! A nil what it really is
I can never understand, for all that he said,
if uttered by any one else perhaps, would
have had but little force, yet he seemed fairly
to carry all before him. By the way, I was
with some friends and was introduced to Mr.
Beecher. 1 had hoped that on touching his
sacred (?) hand I might receive some of his
power and inspiration; but it was not so, and
this faint " hero-worship" was not rewarded.
I asked him whether he was coming to Amherst soon, (we had been expecting him for
some time past,) but he said he should be
unable to come, as he had had so many
weeks " knocked from under him of late,"
and all his leisure time was over.
One of the most impressive services of the
week was held at Mr. Beecher's church. It
was the communion service. Mr. Snow of
Micronesia, Dr. Richard Storrs and Mr.
Mitchell presided. There was such " holy
stillness" reigning throughout that immense
assembly. Every now and then there would
come faint, far-away melody—tender, yet so
grand, from the organ ; and we could hear
Dr. Storrs' clear, flute-like voice as he told of
that crystal sea,'' the " city of pearly
gates," and the heavenly mansions. After
the services were over Mr. Beecher went lo
"
the pulpit where stood an elegant bouquet of
flowers and overturned it on the stage—roses,
heliotrope, camelias—all rare and choice ;
and so almost every one had some pure,
beautiful souvenir of this communion season.
Another of the services that I enjoyed
more especially was the meeting of the theological and college students. Many told of
the hopes and resolves that they had for the
future. There was a manly spirit about the
whole meeting. I find that theological students are not however vastly superior to college students ; not quite sober divines yet.
After the closing services of the Board,
there were so many Hawaiians present that
we were determined to have a meeting. I
managed to get ;i note to the Secretary on
the stage, but he read the notice in so low a
tone that only a few were able to hear it.
Accordingly we posted ourselves at the different doors—Mr. Atherton, Charlie Cooke,
Mary Cooke, Hattie Baldwin, myself, «?cc.,
and thus managed to get the Hawaiians together. Our party was, I assure you, of a
very respectable size—over fifty I think in
all. Such a very pleasant meeting as it was
too ! Mr. and Mrs. Coan came in for a very
hearty welcome, I can assure you. It fairly
cheers one to look at their happy faces,
where the " soul light " shines so brightly.
Every one loves them wherever they go.
Doctor and Sarah Coan were with them. I
had met them both often, and felt quite well
acquainted. They are both very cultivated—
fond of books, music and painting. They
have seen something of the world, and are
desirous of seeing more. Then the Snows
and Sturges' family were here from Micronesia, also Dr. and Mrs. Gulick, Oramel
Gulick and wife, Emma Smith, of Kauai,
Mrs. Capt. Gillet, Anna Paris, Mrs. Doanc,
the Bissells and Snowdons, &c, &c.
At home again. Here still I have some
one to remind me of the Islands, for opposite
me as 1 write sits Cornelius Bond, our old
friend. I had been in my room but a short
time after returning when he appeared. He
was desirous of seeing something of the College, and came to spend a day or two.
Dr. Gulick and his brother were here last
week, and I acted as their cicerone over the
cabinets. Mr. Snow comes next week.
Good Time-Honored Practice.—For more
than a quarter of a century it has been customary for persons interested in the gratuitous circulation of the Friend to aid in the
way of donations. During the past year we
have distributed gratis, among seamen and
others, from three to five hundred, of each
number. Donations for this year have
amounted to t52, not one-half the actual
cost of printing and paper.

THE ¥I.MM
"Is Your Lamp Burning"'
Say, is your lamp burning, my brother?
I pray you look quickly ami see,
For if it were burning, tlieti surely
Some beams would tall bright upon me.
Straight, straight is the mini, but I falter.
Ana oft I fall out by the way ;
Then lilt your lamp higher, my brother.
Lost I sliouM make fatal delay.
There are many and many around you
Who follow wherever you go ;
If you thought th-it they walked in Hie shadow,
lour lamp would burn brighter, 1 know.
Upon the dark mountains they stumble ;
Tliey are bruised on the rooks, and they lie
With their white, pleading faces turning upward
To the clouds aud the pitiful sky.
There is ninny a lump that is lighted ;
We behold them linear and afar ;
But not many among them, my brother,
Shine steadily on like a star.
I think, were they trimmed night and morning,
Tlicy would never burn down or go out.
Though from the four quarters of he.iveii
The winds were all blowing about.
If once nil the lamps that are lighted
Should steadily blaze iv a line,
Wide over the land ninl the ocean.
What a girdle of glory would shine !
How all the dark places would brighten !
(low the mists would roll up and nwny
!
How the earth would laugh nut in her gladness
To hail the millennial day !

HEROD THE GREAT.
Take another instance where the transgression is unmixed ambition, where it is
not so mixed up with sensual indulgence as
is Jezebel's. Take the man whom some of
you would call the worst man described in
the Bible, —the Herod who killed the infants
in Bethlehem. Here is a sagacious man, a
brave man, an admirable administrator, and
one who out-intrigued the best intriguers of
his day,—more than a match for Cleopatra,
or Anthony, or Augustus. He stops at nothing. There is no bar he cannot spring over.
Transgressor, indeed ! Appointed king, he
had to storm the defences of his own capital,
Jerusalem, so unpopular was he with the
people. Very well,—he stormed them! The
city taken, he deals with the Jewish council,
the Sanhedrim. All but two had been opposed to him. So all but two are killed.
The high-priest seems to be in opposition.
He assassinates the high-priest. He is left
at last without an enemy who dares show
himself. He is at the height of prosperity
and success. He loves, perhaps, no one but
his wife; and he worships her. So his
mother and his sister accuse her of falseness;
and he, mad with jealousy, kills her. So
with all who follow her. He marries whom
h« will, divorces whom he will, kills whom
the will. Two sons she leaves him, noble
men, loved by everybody, even by
him. So distinguished are they, that they
win the jealousy of his brother and sister.

the kiss of his purchased paramour, dissatisfied with the gold which he rakes from the
gambling table he is disgusted with the
steady ebbing and failing of his own powers.
As for future punishment of transgression, he
knows as little of that as ever. But the way
of the transgressor is hard now; and he
knows that, as he rides upon it.
THE SAVIOUR'S STATEMENT.
In the face of half the theologians, we are
to observe that this is the view steadily of
the New Testament. Jesus is called a
Saviour because he saves people from
their sins, not from the consequences of
their sins. The kingdom of his heaven is at
hand, not. at a distance. To those to whom
he gives it, he gives it now, not in the future. The sons of man, the daughters of
man, are, in his view, God's immortal children, detailed here for such part of God's
service as on this earth can be carried
through. Do they transgress ? Do they
break bounds ? Do they disobey ? Do they
insist on wasting the period of their service
here, in blunting their weapons, in straining
and twisting their bodies, in imitating beasts?
Such garrison follies destroy those who commit them. They become mean by degrees,
and miserably less. Little need, indeed, of
pictures of future punishment to terrify them
from such folly. The folly is its own punishment, as, from day to day, their lires ebb
out of them. Placed here to grow strong,
they do grow weak. Placed" here to succeed,
they find failure every hour. Little matter,
indeed, for them, when they leave God's
road, and for themselves hew out a new one,
to ask whether this track will be cut short by
bog or by jungle or by pitfall or by ocean.
Little matter now ; for while they are hacking at it, and wading and staggering and

Now, I do not ask whether his conscience
smote him or nut. 1 have no idea that, when
Herod's life ended, he had much conscience
left him. I have nothing to suy about remorse. I do not see that remorse plays a
large part in suidi lives ; though I know that
when it docs cut, it cuts deep. I only ask,
if this way of his, which was his own way,
seems to anybody a smooth way, a simple
way, a way which would attract or seduce
one, even if he could keep out of sight its
end. Is it not from the very beginning a
hard way ? Is it not clear that one of these
murders compelled another? Is it not clear
that this passionate ferocity grew with what
it fed upon ? We are pleased to say that, in
the close of his life, Herod was insane. We
say the same thing of Nero, of Claudius, of
Caligula. I suppose it is true. But what
does that word " insane " mean in such lives
but this ?—that where a man is cursed by the
opportunity to transgress indefinitely, where
he can gratify all his passions,—or, as we
say, can have all his own way,—that then
the brain gives way as every other organ
fails, that he cannot think any more accurately than he can walk, or than he can
strike. Passion destroys manhood. That
is what we mean when we say he has gone
mad. Or, in the language of the text, we
mean thatthe way of the transgressor is hard.

THE FRIEND,
We are as fragile as the leaf
Quick yellowing to decay ;
The longest life is but a brief
And strangely checkered day.
'Tis surely time to rest our oar,
To pause awhile for breath,
Before we reach the silent shore,
And yield our dust to Death.
But not with sorrow, tremblingly.
Need we survey our chart ;
Wrestling with storms upon the sea,
Should stouter make the heart.
And we, who on the sea ofLife
With fiercest storms have striven,
Should courage take in times of strife.
And leave the helm to Heaven.

PYRAMIDS, SPHINX, ANTIQUITY OF EGYPT.
The traveler in Egypt lives in the ages of
the past. The obelisks, the temples and the
pyramids speak to him of a time not measured by modern, chronology. The Nile, with
all its ancient associations from the time of
Moses to the time of Cleopatra, and even to
the time when Napoleon fought the battle of
the Pyramids, still lives in the present, with
its annual inundations making fruitful the
beautiful valley, hut almost everything else
is clouded in mystery.
It was a beautiful morning in December,
when we left Cairo for the purpose of visiting the temples of Sakkara, and the pyramids of Ghiaeh. We crossed the sacred
river of the Nile, and soon found ourselves
on the sandy desert,—the desert, so quiet, so
calm, so emblematical of rest. When these
temples and pyramids were built, we do not
believe there was any desert here. It was a
fruitful part of the great Nile valley, but the
sands for ages have been driven here from
the Nubian desert, and have made waste
places, where once were green pastures and
fruitful fields. The night on the desert was
passed in our comfortable tent, but we could
hear the whispering of the wind, and there
were voices ot the past, speaking with no
doubtful sound. During the afternoon we
had been wandering among the temples and
tombs of Sakkara, the site of the ancient
Memphis; and magnificent these temples
and tombs were—broad, deep and long,
almost buried in the sand, the walls stijl
showing the pictured hieroglyphics so common in Egyptian temples. The colors were
bright, and looked ai if they had been made
a few days ago. How these huge masses of
stone were ever brought here, sod so finely
cut and fitted one to the other, we could not
understand. The ancient Egyptians had
some power of locomotion that we moderns
are ignorant of.
We went into one temple tomb, where
there were thirty-two immense stone sarcophagi and monoliths—empty now, but once
containing either the sacred bulk, o-r perhaps
the bodies of the ancient kings. The temples are supposed to be- of the same age a*

the pyramids, and they were as much a marvel to old Herodotus as they are to us.
After that night in the desert aiming those
temples and tombs, we rode over to the pyramids of Cheops and Cephrenes, called the
great pyramids. The desert is here again,
but the sand hits not buried the pyramids and
the sphinx, as it hns the temples and tombs
of Sakkara. No date can with certainty
lie determined for the building of the pyramids. There they stand as they did three
or four thousand years ago, as great u mystery to M as they were to the oldest known
historians. The largest pyramid, that of
Cheops, covers eleven ncres, measuring 82--110,000 solid feet, and weighs 6,316,000
tons. The height is four hundred and eighty
feet. We nscended this hitler pyramid, assisted by two sturdy Egyptians. The ascent
was toilsome and somewhat difficult, owing
to the height of the steps. From the top the
view is grand. The Nile stretches far in a
silvery thread through the green valley,
the desert skirting the valley. We were in
a vnst solitude, a sandy waste. We could
see the sphinx gazing with prophetic eye at
the Nile. The sphinx has a beautiful face,
calm and resolute, though somewhat defaced,
with the body of a lion nnd the head of a
woman,emblematical of wjsdom and Strength.
Here on top of the pyramids, for thousands
of years, the names of pilgrims have been
cut in the solid rock.
Time seems to have no influence over the
pyramids. From age to age they appear
the same. Man, if he had had the power,
would have destroyed them, but they are too
vast to be removed by the hand of man.
They defy the assaults of time. We entered
the inner chamber of the great pyramid.
There was a large sarcophagus, once conmining the body of the king in whose honor
the pyramid was probably built. It is an
immense stone cut from the solid rock, hollowed out in fine proportions and beautifully
polished. A Lord Elgin, if possible, would
have removed it from its ancient base, but it
is too vast and too massive ever to be removed, at least in our time. How were
these great stones cut from the quarries ?
Obelisks ninety feet long and statues forty
feet high were cut from the solid rock by
the ancient Egyptians. It is only lately the
probable discovery has been made. A recent writer has remarked, that the blocks of
stone selected for these monuments were not
chance splinters from barbarous efforts of
splitting and smashing, but clean slices separated from the native rock, after being selected and accurately defined. And how was
this done? By driving in huge iron wedges?
No indeed ; that would probably have split
—
the stone. By infinite labor in chiseling
and sawing? No; the ancient Egyptians
knew better than that. They cut a small
groove along the whole length of say one
hundred feet, and in this inserted a number
of wooden wedges. Then they poured water
into the groove, and the wedges expanding
simultaneously and with great force, broke
away the huge fragment, as neatly as a strip
of glass is taken off by a diamond.
Cairo is a fair type of an Oriental city.
The people are mostly Mohammedans, although the Copts, who are believed to be the
descendants of theancient Egyptians, form a
large class of the population. They have a
form of Chrisiianity, but that form seems
lifeless and fruitless. The mosques are large,
hut with no adornment in the interior. Daily
from the minareis of the mosques the voice
ol tin; muezzin is heard :
There is no God
but God, and Mohammed is his prophet."
The streets arc narrow, except in the modern
part of the rity, where theKhedive is endeavoring to imitate Paris in the erection of long
boulevards. We visited the Koyal Mosque,
which was magnificent, with its marble and
alabaster. The population of the city is estimated at five hundred thousand, but a more
wretched, ignorant and degraded population
it would I* difficult to find. Modern civilization makes little impress on the people.
The town of Boulnc is the port of Cairo
on the Nile, and lies about a mile from the
city. Here the Khedive is forming n museum of Egyptian antiquities. It is a very
valuable and extensive one now, probably
the largest in the world, although the Louvre
in Paris and the British Museum contain a
noble collection. It was pleasant to wander
through those galleries of Boulac. Here
were rich antique jewels, that the daughters
of the Pharaohs may once have worn. Here
were statues and busts, perchance of the
Shepherd Kings. Here was mortality in the
shape of the skin and bones of royal mummies, all wrapi in perfumed cerements, which
we trust may yet put on the robe of immortality. Their bodies have not yet crumbled
to dust, for the nsphaltum has thus far preserved their withered forms. We prefer the
quiet grave to the stately mummy for our
resting place in this world.
"
Nokohama Mungero, one of the Japanese
Envoys to Europe.
From a New Bedford paper, as well as
from a letter from Capt. Whitfield, we learn
that seven Japanese have arrived in the
United States, en route for Europe, who
have been sent by the Japanese Government
upon a tour of inspection relative to the war
now raging. Respecting one of these Envoys a remarkable story may be told, confirming the old saying that "truth is stranger
than fiction." Our part of the story shall
commence with his arrival in Honolulu in
the fall of 1850, just twenty years ago. He
then came from the mines of California, and
deposited with us about $75, stating that he
was desirous of returning to Japan. We
listened to his plan of an expedition with no
small amount of incredulity, intimating that
he would be executed if he returned to his
native land ; but so earnest was he, that we
gathered about $100 from a few of the foreign residents of Honolulu, to add to the
money already in hand, for the purpose of
buying a whaleboat and outfit. This was
done, but a few more fixtures were needed,
and the following appeal was inserted in the
Polynesian of December 14th, 1860:
for Japan.—The public is

thatfrom time to time wrecked Japanese have been brought to the Sandwich Islands. There are now three who were brought
hither by Capt. W. H. Whitfield in 1841.
One of them, John Mung, accompanied Capt.
W. to the United States, where he was educated in a gootl common school, besides hav-
ing acquired the cooper's trade.
•' He has returned to the Islands, and here
finds his former shipmates, two of whom propose to accompany him, and, if possible, return to Japan. He has purchased a good
whaleboat and outfit, Capt. Whitmore, of
the American ship Sarah Boyd, having
kindly offered to leave them somewhere oil'
the Loochoo Islands, and from thence they
hope to make their tray to ,/n/nni. To

S. C. Damon."
The Sarah Jioyd sailed on the 17th, but
before sailing, the United States Consul,
Judge Allen, at our request furnished Mungero with a duly certified document of American citizenship, well supplied with " seals."
Capt. Whitmore reported on his arrival at
Shanghae that he launched the boat and his
three Japanese passengers off the Loochoo
Islands. The original account of the expedition will be found in the Friend of January Ist, 1&51.
Ten years passed before we were able to
obtain a single item of information respecting Mungero, although we made most diligent inquiry of several officers attached to
-
Perry's United States Exploring Expedition.
On the 17th of May, 1860, the Japanese
steamer Kandiaaiarrah arrived in Honolulu, having our old friend Mungero on
board as interpreter. Never were we more
surprised. He appeared to us as one from
the dead ! At our request he gave the fol
lowing account of himself, which will be
found in the Friend of June Ist, 1860.
"In January, 1851, Capt. Whitmore, of
the Sarah Jioyd, launched the boat 'Adventurer' from his deck ofTGreat Loochoo, wind
blowing fresh from N. W., accompanied with
hail. The ship was about five miles from
land. After rowing hard for ten hours, we
anchored near the land. Next morning I
sent Denzo on shore, but he returned with a
' tear in his eye,' because he had forgotten
his native language, and was unable to communicate with the people. We all went on
shore, and I took a loaded pistol; we made
signs to the people for water, and they conducted us to a pond ; we now boiled our
coffee and ate some beef and pork, 'American
fashion.' The people gave us some sweet
potatoes and rice. As we could not speak to
the people, we were conducted to a government office, about one mile off, where some
rice was given us, in order to see if we could
eat rice with tvi o chop-sticks ! We showed
them that we knew how to handle the chopsticks,and this exploit settled the question of
our nationality, for we were pronounced
Japanese!
".A messenger was then dispatched to a
city about ten miles off, and after some bantering and threats, we were taken under the

care of the King of Loochoo, who treated us
very kindly. We sjient six months in Loochoo, when we were conveyed in a junk to
the island of Kiusiu.near the southern point
of the island ; we were there taken under
the care of the Prince of Thiztumar; we remained at this place forty-eight days. The
Prince made very many inquiries respecting
America and American people, and our treatment. This prince has great influence ; he
treated me with much kindness.
" We were then removed to Nangasaki,
where we were joined by five more shipwrecked Japanese sailors, who had been forwarded from Honolulu to their own country
via China. At Nangasaki we were detained
thirty months, not however being confined to
a close prison, but allowed large liberties.
At the end of two and a half years, we were
allowed to proceed to our homes, and, so far
as I know, all my companions safely reached
their homes, and were welcomed by their
and progress of which he is most ardently
devoted. His love lor Japan is great."
During the last ten years we have occasionally heard from the hf.ro of our story,
but surely we never expected to learn that
we should have the pleasure of recording the
fact that his government had honored him
with the appointment of an Envoy to Europe,
to inspect the warlike operations of the Prussians and the French. We hope on his return to Japan, he may take Honolulu in his
route.

The late General William Williams.
Recent papers and private letters announce
the death of General Williams, of Norwich,
Ct., at the advanced age of 82 years. Few
men in New England of the generation now
passing away, have occupied so high a place
in the love and esteem of the friends of education, domestic and foreign missions, and
public charities, as this gentleman, lie, was
truly a Christiiin ycntlonan. In his own
neighborhood he was associated with every
good and philanthropic enterprise. The interests of the Mohegan Mission, common
schools and the Norwich Free Academy occupied his constant thoughts, while he was
scrupulously punctual to his duties ss a bank
officer and citizen. His sympathies were not
narrowed down to his own church or neighborhood, but his thoughts went abroad with
missionaries in Asia Minor, China, India,
and the islands of the sea. Long will his
friends, acquaintances and guests remember
his generous hospitality, genial kindness and
princely beneficence. Our young College at
Punahou is indebted to him for a part of its
endowment. The death of such men recall
the words of the Revelator John : "And I
heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
write, Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth ; yea saith the spirit,
that they may rest from their labors; and
their works do follow them."
Many thanks to the several writers
who have communicated their thoughts and
reflections for the readers of the Friend.
We are glad to have another pen describe
scenes in the Old World. The communication respecting Egypt will be read with interest. In conversation a few days since
with a gentleman associated with the judiciary of this kingdom, the subject of Chinese
testimony came up for discussion. We requested him to pen a few thoughts upon the
subject. The importance of this will readily
appear, when a person for one moment reflects upon the absurdity of "swearing" a
Chinaman believing in Buddism upon the
Bible. But how shall it be done? Shall a
Christian court administer a heathen oath ?
That's the question."

Loss of the U. S.S. "Saginaw."
It is our painful duty to record the loss of
the United States steamer Haginaw on the
morning of Saturday, October 29th, on Ocean
Island, one of the numerous small and barren
sand islets which comprise the chain beginning at French Frigate Shoals and extending some twelve to fourteen hundred miles
across the oceitn. This island ,is about N.
N. W. from Midway Island, being in about
28° 20' N., and 178° 10' W. We are
unable to leati the precise circumstances
under which the vessel went ashore. She
left Midway Island on the 29th of October,
and the next morning at two o'clock and
forty-five minutes, went ashore on Ocean
Island. Very few provisions were saved from
the ship, although she did not entirely go to
pieces until the morning of the 14th of
November, when the after part, which had
held together till then, went to pieces.
On the 18th of November, Lieutenant
Talbot, the executive officer, and four of the
crew, namely: Peter Francis, quarter-master,
tion of it was spoiled by the salt water nnd
was thrown overboard. This misfortune
made it necessary lor the ciew to put themselves on still shorter rations, causing great
suffering. At the time of (he arrival of the
boat off Kauai, there were no provisions lelt
except a few spoonsful of a preparation of
potatoes, which was mixed with water and
eaten by the almost famished crew. Fortunately, the supply of water held out, there
being some sixteen gillons left. After the
boat capsized in the surf, William Halford
clung to the boat lor some time, when he
saw James Muir still in the boat (Lieutenant
Talbot, Peter Francis and John Andrews
having been washed overboard), in n state of
stupor. Halford made him fast to the deck,
and taking a tin box containing papers and
despatches, went on shore, the boat having
in the meantime been thrown into shoal
water by the surf. Returning to the boat he
took the chronometer ashore, and again returning, took his exhausted companion and
carried him safely to land, making a bed for
him as best he could from the few old clothes
he could get from the boat. He then removed everything movable from the boat,
having been obliged in doing so, to wade
through the surf five times, showing the
most heroic fortitude, as our readers will appreciate, when they reflect that he had been
exposed for so many days in the boat upon
merely enough food to sustain life, besides
having boen further exhausted in his efforts
to keep hold of the boat during the time she
Was in the surf.
News arrived in Honolulu of the disaster
on Saturday, when steps were immediately
taken to send relief to the wrecked people on
Ocean Island. The schooner Kona Packet
was despatched on Saturday evening with
provisions nnd water by the American Minister Resident. On Monday, owing to the
uncertain state of the weather, and the probability that the schooner might be it long
time in reaching the island. His Excellency
requested this Government that the steamer
Kilaaea might be despatched on ihe mission. The steamer was promptly placed at
his disposal, and the proper quantity of coals
for the voyage and provisions having been
placed on board, she sailed at half-past five
o'clock on Monday evening. It is to be
hoped that she will make a quick passage,
as the wrecked crew—some ninety in number—were placed at once, after the disaster,
on quarter rations, and require aid as soon
as it can be rendered then.— Gazette.
James Muir, John Andrews, and William
Halford, coxswain, all of whom had volunteered for the expediiion, left the island in
the ship's gig with the hope of reaching these
islands to obtain assistance. The boat experienced very heavy weatner, having been
obliged to "heave-to" in three severe gales,
and losing all the oars that were on board.
After incredible suffering, the crew in the
boit sighted Kauai on the 18th of December,
having been at sea in a small boat for thirty
days, all of them being quite exhausted from
long exposure and the hardships suffered
during their perilous voyage of over one
thousand miles. After sighting the land,
the wind shifted to the N. W., with heavy
rain squalls, during which the boat was
drifted away from the land. With great effort, she was beat up again on the night of
the 19th. Unfortunately, in approaching the
shore near Hanalei, the boat got into the
breakers and was capsized—the crew being
so weak and exhausted that they could do
but little to direct her course. Lieutenant
Talbot and two men were drowned. Halford, the survivor, succeeded in getting one
of his comrades on shore, but he was so far
gone that he died in a short time. On the
same day the bodies of Lieutenant Talbot
and one of the seamen washed ashore, and
were taken charge of by Mr. Bindt, manager

are engaged in the transportation of freight
and passengers, all of them between 500 and
1,000 tons burden. Like other parts of the
world, steam is taking the place of sails in
vessels.
There has been much of a change also in
the city of Gotheburg. It has been enlarged
and remodeled. Several large churches have
been erected, and fine public parks laid out.
During my stay, water-pipes were being laid
down to convey water all over the town. In
the past it has been laborious and expensive
to obtain water, there being only three places
where it could be obtained, from whence it
was carried to the different quarters of the city.
I took pleasure in viewing the schools, and
the new school system. When I was a boy
there were but few free schools; now there
are over one hundred. When a scholar has
learnt all that is taught in a free school, he
is ready to enter college, if he desires a
higher education.
But the greatest change I noticed was in
the cause of vital religion. You are aware
that the state and church were connected,
and no other denomination than the Lutheran
tolerated. Now all those old hindrances are
gone. While I was in Gotheburg, the Methodists dedicated a fine place of worship.
They have a congregation of about two
hundred members, and I believe they are increasing. The Baptists have a fine hall,
which was built by a person somewhat acquainted with you, whose name is G. Schroder. He was master of a ship sailing out of
the States for many years. He married a
daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Stewart, who
for a long time was pastor of the Baptist
Mariner's Church in the city of New York.
Capt. Schroder became acquainted with you

ChinesTestimony.
The effect of Chinese customs, social nnd
religious, upon the rules which have so long
regulated the introduction of testimony in
English and American courts of justice,
presents a question of peculiar interest, which
if we mistake not, will require the serious
attention of legislator, as well as moralists.
We do not refer to discriminations on account of race, once made by statutes in older
countries, whereby certain classes were held
incompetent to testily against "pure blooded
whites," but merely to the forms of administering the oath to witnesses. The practice
of swearing Chinese according to their own
idolatrous forms has never been adopted
here, but it is not many years since it prevailed elsewhere, if in fact it is yet out of
date, and it was held to be the only safe mid
legal mode. Every person, it is said, requires
the oath to be administered in some form
which is binding upon his own conscience;
hence, because in China the ceremony is performed of breaking a saucer or cutting off a
cock's head, in order that the witness may
understand that a like fate awaits him if he
testify lalsely, wiseacres in law have concluded that this mockery of religion must be
set up in courts of civilized lands. The sure
result of introducing such forms is not only
to lend, in appearance if not in fact, the
sanction of the law to heathen superstitions,
but to defeat the object sought. The
slightest deviation from their own usages, or
the omission of the most trivial thing, may
in the Chinese mind, remove all sanction of
the proceeding, and allow license greater
than would be taken with no attempt whatsoever to adopt these ceremonies.
What is the object of administering an
oath, and what additional assurance does it
give ? Webster defines an oath to be, " A
solemn affirmation or declaration, made with
an appeal to God for the truth of what is
affirmed. The appeal to God in an oath
implies that the person imprecates His vengeance, and renounces His favor, if the
declaration is false ; or, if the declaration is
a promise, the person invokes the vengeance
of God if he fails to fulfill it." Let us look
at the nature and object of this solemn act.
A person invokes God not only to witness
his own truth and sincerity, but " to avenge
his imposture or violated faiih." The invocation of God to witness, and the imprecation of vengeance on false testimony form
the legal oath. The object in the mind of
the person who takes the oath is that his own
mind may be impressed with the importance
of speaking deliberately and cautiously, and
to inspire confidence in his truthfulness in
the minds of others. The intention of the
law which makes an oath a prerequisite to
legal evidence is merely to obtain greater
security of testimony, or that the promise
made will be fulfilled. There are thoie
whose word is us good as their bond," who
"
make no hasty statements of facts, especially
matters
in
affecting their neighbors' interest,
reputation or happiness. Their reverence
for simple truth may be strengthened by no

ouiwurd ceremony ; but neither judge nor
citn be presumed to know when they
have such persons as witnesses, hence the
supposed necessity of this general rule. It
is also certain that most men who recognize
a Supreme Ruler of the Universe are more
guarded in statements made under oath. We
believe, however, lhat the correct view is,
that the oath is lor the purpose of calling
the witness' own thought! especially to the
solemnity of his net, and is not merely to cull
God to witness the act and to punish false
testimony.
Of the forms of administering an oath
to Christians, kissing the book, usually a
copy of the Gospels, or raising the right
hand, are mo.-t common. The former custom is traced back, from the imitation of the
priests in kitting the missal, to the customs
of the Romans. The ancient Romans, Greeks
anil Persians swore by the sun, by the gods,
and their "genii," or presiding genius.
Women swore by Juno, laborers by Ceres,
who wns supposed to preside over harvests,
Vestals by Vesta, &c. It the middle ages,
oaths were taken on the altar, on relics and
tombs of saints, and in many forms borrowed
from the heathen, as on a beast's or idol's
head, on warlike armor, on bracelets, or by
the hair, eyes or face of a patron or friend,
by laying hold of the hem of the garment or
on the sepulchre of a debtor. The Jews
swore on a chain fastened to the synagogue
door.
Roman Catholics in some of the United
States were required to kiss the book, a ceremony not usual with New England Protestants. They often objected to this distinction, and it is now removed by act of legislature. This form is regarded as idolatrous
by many Scotch Presbyterians.
It was at one time, and may yet be, the
custom in France to take an oath simply by
declaration with uplifted hand, or with hand
oo the breast, and by signing. This was
held to be sufficient testimony in a Massachusetts case.
The following forms have been adopted in
courts, and decided by them to be correct,
viz: for Jews, by swearing on the Pentateuch ; Mahommedans, on the Koran ; Chinese, by saucer breaking. Statutes give the
effect of an oath to solemn affirmations by
Quakers, Moravians and Separatists whose
consciences will not allow them to take an
oath.
Now we ask, why should not the Legislature enact a law, that Chinese may testify
on simple affirmation to tell the truth, " subject to all the pains nnd penalties of perjury
if they testify falsely?" The difficulty must
be evident to any person, on reflection, either
in administering an oaih according to an
idolatrous form, or in administering it in
Christian form to a heathen ignorant of its
meaning, and perhaps regarding it ns of no
binding force on his conscience. We hope
to sec the subject duly considered.

Who will Go to Heaven?
How docs the Bible answer? Turn to
Revelation 22:14 and read, "Blessed are
they that do his commandments, that they
may have right to the tree of life, and may
enter in through tbe gates into the city."
Rend also the Saviour's words, Matthew
25:34-40 : " Come ye blessed of my Father,
inherit the kingdom prepared for you from
the foundation of the world : for I was
hungry, and ye gave me food; I was thirsty,
and ye gave me drink ; I was a stranger,
and ye took me in ; naked, and ye clothed
me ; I was sick, and ye visited me ; I was
in prison, and ye came unto me. Verily I
gay unto you, Inasmuch as ye hare done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me."
WHO WILL FAIL OF HEAVEN ?

Bible answer. Read I. Corinthians
6:9, 10: "Be not deceived ; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall
inherit the kingdom of God."
Ponder also the Saviour's words in Matthew 25:41-46: " Depart from me, ye cursed,
into eveilasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels ; for I was hungry, and ye
gave me no food ; I was thirsty, and ye gave
me no drink; I was a stranger, and ye took
me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not;
sick and in prison, and ye visited me not. *
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me."
Those will go to heaven who believe in
the Lord Jesus; who love him, and who
manifest their love in doing good.

Bible.—ln Ezekiel 38:3 we
read, " Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, behold
I am against thee, Gog prince of Rosh,
Meshek and Tubal." See also Ezekiel 38:2
and 39:1. This rendering is authorized by
the Septuagint, the most ancient version of

the

the Old Testament, where 7iY>.>i is used, the
very term used by the Byzantine writers of
the tenth century to designate the Russians.
It seems altogether probable that the Russians will occupy a much larger space in the
world's history than heretofore, and any
mention of them, or allusion to them in the
Bible,cannot be without interest. Of Meshek,
the Moschi, and Tubal, the Tibareni, scarce
anything is known.

Egypt is waking up from the sleep of centuries. Steamboats ascend the Nile. The
electric telegraph stretches along its banks.
The whistle of the steam-engine is heard in
the midst of the deserts. The Suez Canal
\ unites once more the waters of the Mediterranean with the Red Sea. We say once
more, for three thousand years ago there was
a canal through that silent waste of desert;
and even as late as the battle of Actium, the
Egyptian galleys sailed on to the Red Sea,
which had recently ploughed the waves of
the Mediterranean.
Early in the morning of a beautiful December day we bid farewell to Cairo with its
minarets shining in the sun, its sculptured
sarcophagi made by hands that three thousand years ago crumbled to the dust, and are
oil" for the railway station to take the train
for Ismailia, the midway port on the Suez
Canal, between Port Said on the Mediterranean, and Suez on the Red Sea. After a
ride of six hours through the desert, we arrive at Lake Timseh. Ismalia has sprung
up like magic from the desert, and where a
few years ago there was nothing but a sandy
waste, now fine buildings and streets and
fountains and flowers show what may be
done even by the humble hand of man.
Through the energy of one man, Lesseps,
the Suez Canal has been made a success.
He thought of the ships from Europe creeping slowly along the coast of Africa, passing
the Cape of Good Hope, and sailing slowly
along the Indian Ocean to the East. He
thought of the glory that France would receive, should this great undertaking be completed under her auspices; and after years
of labor, when bold-hearted men would
have given up the enterprise in despair, and
when other nations looked coldly on and
prophesied failure, Lesseps has united the
Mediterranean with the vast waters of the
Indian Ocean. The canal is one hundred
miles long. The average width at the top
is three hundred and twenty feet; at the
bottom two hundred and forty-six feet, and
the depth twenty-six feet. It is doubtful
whether this enterprise from a financial point

" Oh, yes! I have partners. I got one

And this is the race that is unworthy citizenship, unworthy the protection of our laws;
while Paddy from Cork flourishes his policeman's bludgeon over their heads, or legislates against them in our halls of state.
But to return to Ah Ying ; he is the best
judge of flour 1 ever met with ; that partner
in China could not leave his interests in
safer hands. 1 asked him, this very evening, how he acquired such a knowledge of
that article. I give his explanation as he
repeated it to us :
" You know Mr. Davis, Golden Gate
Mill ?—very good man. Igo work for him ;
work all same coolie. I see wheat come in ;
go in mill, come out flour, but very coarse.
I go home, think; every night I think, think.

come out fine; by and by more fine. Go
home night; more think. Speak Mr. Davis;
he show me : he tell me every thing. Every
night, I think; every day, I look the flour.
Now you bring me flour, I tell you all about
him one minute. I know how he made ; ah,
yes ! I know him I work for it."
Thus,study and work, with the assistance
of a teacher, who, standing at the highest
point in his calling, is proud to impart information, have made this man a competent

dealer.
With Ah Ying, we close these reminiscences of the Chinese merchants of San
Francisco. Examples might be multiplied ;
but it was only with a view of simply calling public attention to the recognition of
such a class that we have stated the facts
that have been given.
A noble body of men, cultivated in manners, educated in mind, they have borne for
many years the arrogance which power allied
with ignorance always produces. In a city
largely controlled by Irish influence, they
have succeeded, by years of integrity, so
marked as to win approval from even their
enemies, in making the credit of their nation
as merchants unimpeachable. To-day, they
are trusted with thousands on personal security ; and it is a matter of pride with them
that the Chinese houses, as a whole, stand
higher in credit than the same number of
mercantile firms selected at random from any
other nationality. Old and New.

It adds much to the interest, we take, in
reading a hymn or poem, to learn the incident or circumstance which called it forth.
Macaulay, in his review of Addison's life
and writings, furnishes some most interesting
statements respecting the origin of the familiar and oft-sung hymn printed in so many
English and American hymn-books, commencing,
" How are thy servants blest, 0 Lord ! "
It appears that about the year 1700, Ad*>
dison visited Italy, and while making the
passage from Marseilles to Genoa, the master of the ship gave up all for lost, and confeased to a priest on board. How deep an
impression this perilous voyage made upon
the mind of the great English essayist and
poet, we may learn from the perusal of this
beautiful hymn, which has been sadly mutilated and cut short, as published in all of our
hymn-books. We think our readers will be
interested in seeing the ode or hymn in its
original form, as printed in the Spectator,
September 20ih, 1712. hi its original form,
it will be seen to contain an allusion to the
Alps, which he crossed at the Mt. Cenis Pass
in December, and also to passing through
" burning climes " and breathing " in tainted
air," which refers to his residence at Room
during the hot &nl sickly season. God was
to Addison, as beautifully described by Macaulay, " the all-wise and all-powerful friend
who had watched over his cradle with more
than maternal tenderness ; * * who had rebuked the waves of the Ligurian gulf, had
purified the autumnal air of the Campagna,
and had restrained the avalanches of Mount
Cenis."

" Of all objects that I have ever seen, there
is none which affects my imagination so
much as the sea, or ocean. I cunnot see the
heavings of this prodigious bulk of waters,
even in a calm, without a very pleasing astonishment ; but when it is worked up in a
tempest, so that the horizon on every side is
nothing but foaming billows and floating
mountains, it is impossible to describe the
agreeable horror that rises from such a prospect. A troubled ocean, to a man who sails
upon it, is, I think, the biggest object that he
can see in motion, and consequently gives
his imagination one of the highest kinds of
pleasure that can arise from greatness. I
must confess it is impossible for me to survey this world of fluid matter without thinking on the hand that first poured it out, and
made a proper channel for its reception.
Such an object naturally raises in my
thoughts the idea of an Almighty Being, and
convinces me of his existence as much as a
metaphysical demonstration. The imagination prompts the understanding, and, by the
greatness of the sensible object, produces in
it the idea of a being who is neither circumscribed by time nor space.
As I have made several voyages upon
the" sea, I have often been tossed in storms,
and on that occasion have frequently reflected on the descriptions of them in ancient
poets. I remember Longinus highly recommends one in Homer, because the pott has
not amused himself with little fancies upon
the occasion, as authors of an inferior genius,
which he mentions, had done but because he
has gathered those circumstances which are
the most apt to terrify the imagination, and
which really happen in the raging of a tempest. It is for the same reason that I prefer
the following description of a ship in a storm,
which the psalmist has made, before any
other I have ever met with : ' They that go
down to the sea in ships, that do business in
great waters ; these see the works of the
Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he
com inn nde th and raiseth the stormy wind,
which lifteth up the waters thereof. They
mount up to the heaven, they go down again
to the depths, their soul is melted because of
trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger
like a drunken man, and are at their wit's
end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their
trouble, and he bringeth them out of their
distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so
that the waves thereof are still. Then they
are glad, because they be quiet, so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.'
" By the way, how much more comfortable, as well as rational, is this system of the
psalmist, than the pagan scheme in Virgil
and other poets, where one deity is represented as raising a storm, and another as
laying it! Were we only to consider the
sublime in this piece of poetry, what can be
nobler than the idea it gives us of the Supreme Being thus raising tumult among the
elements, and recovering them out of their
confusion ; thus troubling and becalming
p
nature?"

Ocean and Midway Islands.
It was upon one of tTleee islands known us
situated in latitude 28 ° 23' north
and longitude 178 ° 30' west, Unit the United
States steamer Saginaw went ashore on the morning of tbp 29th of October ItiHt, while on her
way to San Francisco from Midway (formerly
Brooke's} Island. There tier crew remained,
having all fortunately reached the shore in safely,
until the 3d of the present month, when they
were rescued from their ball-starved and perilous
situation by the timely arrival of the steamer
Kilauta, which hud been promptly dispatched to
their aid by the Hawaiian Government on the receipt of the news of the disaster at Honolulu.
In the Hawaiian Spectator lor July, 1838, we
find the following account of Ocean Island and
the wreck of the Gledstancs, us furnished by the
Ocean Island,
master:
.
The Island, in Lat. 28 ° 23' N. and Long. 178 °
30'"W. which I suppose to be Ocean Island, is about
three miles in circumference. It is composed of
broken coral and shells, and Is covered, near the
shore, with low bushes. In the seasoß, it abounds
with sea birds, and at times, there is a considerable
number of hair-seals. There is always an abundance
of fish, and in a great variety. The highest part of
the island is not more than ten feet above the level of
the sea. The only fresh water is what drains through
the sand after the heavy rains. From the specimens
of dead shells lying about the beach, there appears to
be a great variety of shells."
The Spectator says:
The Oltditanet was wrecked on the 9th July,
1887,about midnight. Only one man was lost ; he
jumped overboard, intoxicated. Capt. Brown remained on the island till the 16th Dec., when himself
with bis chief mate and eight seaman sailed for the
Sandwich Islands, in a schooner they had, with great
toil, and perseverance and skill, constructed from
fragments of the wreck. The other officers and men
who remained several months longer, and endured
great sufferings, were subsequently brought off by a
vessel despatched for that purpose, by H. B. M.'s
Consul at these Islands."

"
On tho 14th of May the Saginaw sailed for
Honolulu, and up to the date of her loss,
October 29th, had made four trips to and from
the island.
On her hist return from Honolulu,
Captain Shard brought orders to the working
party to discontinue operations, as the appropriation ($50,000) had been exhausted. After
toiling laboriously and constantly, wlicncver the
weather and health of the men permitted, under
water and in boats and scows for six months,
using largo quantities of powder and fuse, they
had excavated a channel near the centre of the

and the $50,000 was expended, and the work
brought to a stop. At this rate the work
will cost, when completed, at least the sum of
$1,000,000! It is very much to bo doubted
whether the United States Government will consent to the throwing away of any more money in
the useless attempt to make an available harbor
at Midway, after the experience of the past year.
Having taken on board the working party and
their materials on Friday, (traditionally unlucky
day for sailors) the Saginaw left Midway Island

rounded by the reef. Tnis was Ocean Island, to
which the Saginaw had come in search of shipwrecked people, —and they were undoubtedly
found, in the persons of hor own crew.
At 5 o'clock P. M., word was passed to abandon
the ship. All hands accordingly went on shore.
The damaged provisions were spread out on awnings and such sails as could be got at. Much of
the bread had been placed in bags, and the wash
of the sea rushing through the holes in the ship's
sides had reduced it to a mere pulp, such as to bo
absolutely uneatnble, except to people in danger
ofstarvation. The bread in boxes fared better,
since it was kept in shape, and was not so thoroughly saturated. Much of the beef and pork was
broken out of the barrels, and everything was
adrift. Some chickens, turkeys and sheep that were
saved, were turned loose ou the island. It was
necessary to put all hands—93 souls—at once on
short allowance, for it was uncertain what supplies the island might afford, and a long period
might elapse before they were relieved. After
the frugal supper, those who were fortunate
enough to have saved tobacco, divided, and after
a smoke, as cheerfully as thecircumstances would
allow all Bettled their wearied bodies among the
bushes, to sleep, or to ponder over the events of
tho day and to speculate on the prospects ahead.
It was in truth, a remarkable shipwreck. The
night had been clear starlight, with a moderate
breeze. The ship was heading direct for an island
whose position and distance—and that a short
one—were known, approximately if not precisely.
She was making not over two and a half to three
knots, yet she ran directly, without any particular
lack of vigilance, on a reef which was above water,
and on which the breakers were dashing furiously.
On the 18th November, the Captain's gig, which
had been raised upon, decked, and thoroughly
fitted for the purpose, sailed from the inland for
Honolulu for assistance, with a crew of four men
under the command of the executive officer of the
ship, the lamented Lieutenant Talbot. In our
issue of January 4th, we printed in full the
account of the voyage of 1,100 miles in that
small boat, which ended so disastrously to four
out of the five who left the island in her. After
her departure, the work was vigorously carried
on of building a boat in which to visit Midway,
to be forty feet long.
At length, on the afternoon of the 3d of
January, the carpenter, at work on the large
boat (ho was encouraged to work by double,
i. e., half rations) raised his head to wipe the
perspiration from hie face, when he saw a black
smoke in the offing! Hardly daring to trust his
eyes, he stooped again to his work, but with a
beating heart. Soon looking again to seaward,
he felt sure that what he saw was the smoke of a

aSbth Joppa.
THE I lIIK.Mi, FEBRUARY, 1871.
Extracts of a Letter from Rev. T. Coan.
Our traveling companion has furnished an
interesting sketch of our departure from
Egypt and arrival at Joppa. We proceeded
immediately to Jerusalem, and returning to
Joppa, there spent the first Sabbath of 1870.
We attended at the English-German mission premises, divine service in the morning,
when the service was read by a German
clergyman connected with the mission of
Bishop Gobat. The sermon was preached
by the Rev. Mr. Frazcr, a Scottish Presbyterian clergyman, who is a Professor in the
Syrian College at Beirut. In ihe evening a
social religious meeting was held at the residence of the American Vice-Consul. The
mother of the Consul, Mrs. Hay, and her sister, Miss M. B. Baldwin, we found excellent
Christian ladies, who were then forming
their plans for opening a school for Syrian
boys and girls. A school for girls was in
existence within the walls of the city, kept
by a Miss Arnott, a Scottish lady. We are
glad to learn from ihe following Appeal, published in the New York Observer of December 22d, that they have been successful in
their plans of organization, and now only require the necessary funds to do much good.
We can say, in the language of Paul in his
epistle to the Philippians, " Help those
women." They are worthy of aid. The
Bethel Sabbath-school has sent its mite.
Miss Baldwin was formerly attached to the
school of Mrs. Hill at Athens, Greece.
•« Orphanage at Joppa.—Mr. John B. Hay,
United States Vice-Consul at Joppa, whom
travelers in Syria will remember with great
pleasure as the accomplished and attentive
Acting Consul at Jerusalem during the last
year, is now in this country making preparations to occupy a new official position in
Syria, to which he has just been appointed.
During his stay, he is seeking to raise funds
for the better establishment of the school and
an orphanage in connection with the Protestant Mission at Joppa. The Mission comprises a school for boys, under the direction
of Miss M. B. Baldwin, assisted by native
teachers, with sixty-five scholais; and a
school for girls, under the direction of Miss
J. Arnott, assisted by native teachers, with
seventy scholars. It is proposed to establish
an orphanage for boys and girls, under the
direction of Mrs. Hay, Miss Arnott, and Miss
Baldwin. This is the only Protestant Mission in a district numbering fifteen thousand
inhabitants. We have no doubt that many
of the friends of missions will take great
pleasure in contributing to the maintenance
of this Mission, and it will commend itself
with peculiar force to those who have tarried
at Joppa and seen there the need of such
labor for the education of its inhabitants.
Contributions may be sent to Mr. John B.
Hay, 19 Bible House, New York city. Mr.
Hay refers to the following among other gentlemen who endorse the enterprise : Rev.
Howard Crosby, D. D., Rev. S. D. Denison,
D* D., Rev. E. D. G. Prim, D. D., Rev. S.
H. Tyng, D. D., and Rev. Dr. J. Cotton
Smith."
It is cold, and yet with warm hearers,
warm hearts, and cordial hospitalities, we
have had a good Christmas. We do long
for the dear friends of the Islands, and for
the beauty and balm of the
" Emerald
Bower." We hope to be with our tropical
friends in April.
We had a pleasant reception by the Hawaiian Club at tbe United States Hotel in
Boston. About sixty were present, —a most
precious re-union with friends. I cannot tell
you all the places we have visited, and all
the dear friends we have seen. To-day Igo
to Newark, to talk in the evening about volcanoes and earthquakes ; to-morrow evening
; on the 29th back to
I speak at M
Boston, to speak three times on the Sabbath.
On Monday to Newburyport, thence to Albany, and again to Philadelphia j then to
Delaware and Washington. From thence
we hope to go to West Missouri, then across
the Plains, " over the hills, and far awuy,"
to the Isles, once afar off, hut now brought
nigh by a thousand bands of grace and love
Were I to express the master feeling of
my heart in regard to our country, 1 would
say, Expansion —Expansion in territory, in
population, in wealth, in institutions, in improvements, in luxuries, in intellectual pow
ers, in business energies, irj all the vital
forces and activities of life. I speak wiih
less assurance as to morals, and the growth
of spiritual life, though a vast amount of well
directed thought and heart and toil flows in
this direction.
In all things, ours is a great nation—a
nation of matchless growth and marvelous
power. The grett American heart beats
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the
St. Lawrence to the Southern gulf; or, in
Bible language, " From sea to sea, and from
the river to tbe ends of the earth." In all
things the nation is becoming gigantic in its
proportions. May it not be left of the Lord
to commit national suicide. " Happy is that
people whose God is the Lord."
I have met numerous large bodiesof clergymen in our cities, and made the acquaintance of many noble and excellent men.
DEATH OF ALBERT BARNES.
ChaplinStevwart.
Rev. C. S. Stewart, D. D., late Chaplain
in the United States navy, and long known
to the Christian public, and beloved by all
who knew him, died at Cooperstown, New
York, on the 14th inst., aged 75 years. His
life has been eventful, useful, honored and
extended, and would furnish material for a
biography of great interest and value. We
might spenk of his eaily life in this city, of
his entrance into the navy, of his devoting
some years to missionary labor in the Sandwich Islands, of his subsequent wanderings
over the world in Government vessels, of his
correspondence with the New York Observer, of his devotion to his work as Chaplain at the Naval Hospital at Brooklyn, of
his often attendance at the Fulton Street
Prayer Meeting, of his deep spiritual piety,
of his declining health, his sojourn at Clifton,
and his final release at Cooperstown.
He was a native of Flemington, New Jersey, and received his education at Princeton
College. After his graduation, in 1815,he
studied law and theology, and subsequently
went to the Sandwich Islands as a missionary, returning in 1825. He published a
journal of his residence there in 1828, which
passed through six editions in America, and
was re-published in England. He received
the appointment of Chaplain in the navy in
November, 1828, and made his first cruise
to Brazil, Peru, and other South American
countries, on board the Ylncennss, in 1829-30. He published an account of the cruise,
which was received with great favor, and
went through several editions both in this
country and Great Britain. He also wrote a
book on English and Irish society, which was
published in 1834. He became editor of the
Naval Afnt/iizine in 1836, und subsequently
acted as Chaplain of several Navy Yards.
His last cruise expired in 1862, after which
he retired from the service.
Connected by marriage with one of the
oldest families in this city, a gentleman of
high culture and of the most refined and
delicate sensibilities, he maintained through
life and in all associations the most complete
consistency of Christian character, and to the
roughest sons of the ocean he made himself
accessible as a brother and friend.—N. Y.

are the voices ol the distant and the dead, and
make us heirs of the sniri.ual life of the ptst ages.
Hooks are the true levelers. They give to all
who will liiitlifully use them, the society, the
spiritual presence of the best and greatest of our

will enter and take up their abode under my rtiof,
if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of

worlds of imagination and the workings of the
human hoart, and Franklin to enrich me with his
practical wisdom, I shall not pine for want of intellectual companionship; and I may beoome a
cultivated man, though excluded from what is
called the best society in the placo where I live.—
News has just come to us of the sudden
death of that dear venerable man, Albert
Barnes. Thousands on thousands will mourn
his departure ; but with him, " it is far better " than all this life. He still lives, and
will speak to millions yet unborn. One week

Power of the Bible.
Father Hyacinthe, in a sermon preached
and printed more than a year ago, expressed
the following sentiments in regard to the
value of the Bible to a nation giving it free
circulation and adhering to its principles :
" Do you know why Prussia triumphed in
the field of battle (with Austria?)? It was
not because there was a lack of bravery on
either side ; it was not the effect of that wondrous weapon, for the acquisition of which
men are now so eager ; but it was because
the assailant was better educated than the
assailed, and had a superior religious training ; it was because every Prussian soldier
had a Bible in his cap or helmet. In other
places I have asserted, and I assert again
here, that that which constitutes the strength
of the Protestant nation is that when the
people come home from their work they enter the family circle, and, sitting by their
hearths, read the Bible and their national
poetry. We [France] are behindhand with
Protestant nations, and especially those who
dwell beyond the Atlantic and the Straits of
Dover. Twice have I trodden English soil;
and I have come to the conviction that the
strength of that country is from the Bible."
Bound for the North Pole.—Capt. Hall,
the Arctic explorer, in his lecture at Brooklyn last night, said he should start on his
third trip about the first of May, and will
never cease his labors until he has put his
foot upon the 90th parallel of north latitude.
He will go first to Newfoundland and stay
for about a week to obtain some sealers to
make up his party ; from thence he will proceed to the western coast of Greenland to
procure some skins and a supply of stock
fish. From Greenland he will cross Davis'
Straits and obtain dogs of the Esquimaux,
then cross Baffin's Bay to Smith's Island,
thence westward through Jones' Sound and
go to the north as far as possible before winter sets in. His sailing master has spent
twenty years in the arctic regions, and his
first and second officers ten years. If he cannot reach the North Pole in 1872, he will
stay another year, or, if necessary, five years.
A foreign correspondent of the Times,
alluding to the age of the Prussian King,
who is past seventy, gives the account of the
family complications of the Crown Prince :
" Frederick William is married to a sister
of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who in
due course of time will occupy the throne of
England. The Princess of Wales, future
Queen of England, is a sister to the heir
presumptive of the crown of Denmark. A
second sister will hereafter appear as Empress of Russia, while a brother occupies the
throne of Greece. Thus the sovereigns of
England, Russia, Prussia, Denmark and
Greece will form, at no distant period, a
nice little family circle, and the party would
have received an important addition by placing on the Spanish throne Prince Leopold of
Hohenzollern, closely connected with the
Prussian dynasty, a brother to the reigning
Prince of Ronmania, and at the same time
brother-in-law to the King of Portugal and
the King of the Belgians."

The Kingsmill, or Gilliert Islands, were
first occupied by American and Hawaiian
missionaries in 1857. News was received a
few days since, in a letter written by the
Rev. S. G. Whitmee, a missionary of the
London Missionary Society in Sydney, giving the information that Samoan missionaries under the Loudon Missionary Society,
had been placed on two of the southern islands of the Gilbert Group. In order to
understand the facts in the case, it must lie
remembered that sonic of these are north and
some south of the line, as follows :

deeds of prowess pictured in glowing language in all the histories that treat of the attempted conquests of the Crusaders f For
months they defended the city against the
attacks of the Saracens. History shows no
deeds of greater valor than were performed
by those Knights of Rhodes. As we walked
the silent streets, we were carried back to the
time when Solynmn the Magnificent attacked
the city with a fleet of four hundred ships,
and an army of one hundred and forty thousand men. Day after day the city was gallantly defended, but at last the Grand Master, overpowered by numbers, was obliged to
give up the city, and from that time to this

with their own good swords, iinnideil by a
single European power, withstood the whole
array of the Ottoman Empire, and when at
length compelled to surrender, they obtained
such honorable terms from Solyman, as showed he knew how to respect valor, though in
a Christian foe.
The coats of arms of the Knights from
England, France and Germany, und from
every Christian country of Europe, still remain engraved on the houses, and it is to the
credit of the Turks that they have allowed
them to remain. There is one street remaining as the Knights left it, now uninhabited,
and it was with a melancholy interest that
we walked through that deserted street with
its knightly symbols—the only things remaining in Rhodes, except the walls of the
city, to remind us of its once glorious defenders.
Death of Dean Alford.
Late English papers announce the death
of this distinguished Biblical scholar. He
was Dean of Canterbury Cathedral. His
edition of the Greek Testament was an invaluable contribution to sacred learning. We
have now lying on our table his " New Testament for English Readers, with a Critical
and Explanatory Commentary," in four volumes. In concluding his remarks upon the
Book of Revelations, he thus modestly writes:
" This, my labor of now four and twenty
years, is herewith completed. Ido it with
humble thankfulness, but with a sense of
utter weakness before the power of His word,
and inability to sound the depths even of its
simplest sentence." (1866.) If one of the
best scholars in England and most learned
men of the age could thus write when laying down his pen, after a life-study of the
Bible, how utterly contemptible those flippant persons appear, who without much reading of the Bible, even in the English language, presume to pass a judgment upon the
sacred volume. Dean Alford's remarks remind us of the words of the late Mr. Barnes
of America, in reviewing
forty
" nearly
years "of continued study of the
Bible. See
his preface to the Book of Psalms.

PitIslands.
Naconrf'sdlk
We are glad to meet Mr. Nobbs, a son of
the Rev. Mr. Nobbs, pastor of Norfolk Island.
He is directly from that part of the world,
and hns furnished us with much interesting
information respecting the descendants of the
"old Pitcairners," now living on both Pitcnirn's and Norfolk islands. On Pitcairn's
there are 60 inhabitants, and among them
Betsy Young, a daughter of John Adams,
the venerable old patriarch, under whose instruction the Pitcairners were really trained
in the fear and nurture of God.
On Norfolk Island there are 325 inhabitants ; hence the total number, about 385
now living, who have descended from the
Pitcairners of the Bouvty. They are under
the Colonial Government of New South
Wales, but are allowed to govern themselves
much after their own views. The Rev. Mr.
Nobbs still continues in his old age to officiate as pastor and physician. He is truly a
patriarch among them, having 10 living children, and about 50 grand-children. Of the
second generation of "old Pitcairners," there
are now living on Norfolk Island, Arthur
Quintal, George Adams, and Rachel Evans—
the latter a daughter of John Adams, above
alluded to.
Bishop Patterson, the English missionary
Bishop of Melanesia, is also living upon Norfolk Island. He received the grant of 1,000
acres of land for a mission school. He has
established a school, which now contains 140
pupils, gathered from New Hebrides, Solomon and Banks' islands. Once every year
he visits those islands, taking teachers, who
have been educated in his school. The missionary vessel Southern Cross is under his
direction. The present prospects of the mission are quite prosperous.
From all we can learn, Norfolk Island is
a beautiful spot—a gem of the South Seas.
It is about 21 miles in circumference, and
admirably diversified with wood-land and
cultivated fields, being well watered aitd advantageously situated for the supply of whaleships cruising in that part of the ocean. The
following have recently touched for supplies:

Eighteen hundred years ago, ihe Apostle
Paul declared on Mars' Hill, in Athens, that
God had " made of one blood all nations of
men." There is not only a unity of race,
but a unity in the desires, thoughts and aspirations of all men. He who would truly
understand what is in man, or mankind at
large, must study not only human nature
as manifested in one part of the world and
in one nation, but he must study the peoples
of all lands nnd all ages. In order to do this,
we see the importance of studying carefully
the influence of those old Greek philosophers,
Socrates, Plato, Arisiotle, whose thoughts
and teachings have exerted such a controlling
influence upon the world. Not long since
we read with intense interest Draper's " Intellectual Development of Europe," in which
the reader's attention was directed to
influence of the Grecian poets, mathematicians and philosophers upon the condition of knowledge as it now appears in
Europe and America. Now we have another work upon a somewhat kindred subject,
" Christianity and Greek Philosophy," while
another of close relationship, Tyler's " Theology of the Greek Poets," is lying on our
table. All these works take us back to
Greece, and make us realize that there may
be much of truth in the somewhat strong
language of R. W. Emerson, when he says,
in remarking upon books, in " Society and
Solitude : " " Of Plato I hesitate to speak,
lest there should be no end. •* * * He contains the future, as he came out of the past.
In Plato, you explore modern Europe in its
causes and seed, all that in thought, which
the history of Europe embodies or has yet to
embody. The well-informed man finds himself anticipated. Plato is up with him. Nothing has escaped him."
Alas, we fear the world is not much wiser
than it was two or three thousand years ago.
It may know a little more about chemistry,
geology and astronomy, but that is about all.
Even long ere Grecian and Roman supremacy lived those old Egyptians. They knew
many things respecting which the world is
now ignorant. We are reading Dr. Cocker's
book with much interest, and although not
coinciding with all his reasoning, we still find

For sixteen yours (1838-1854) the author
of this volume was a missionary of the London Missionary Society on the Island of
Rarotonga. During his sojourn in the South
Seas, he visited various neighboring islands
and gathered abundant materials for a most
interesting volume, with the above title. It
is now just fifty years since native missionaries from Tahiti first introduced Christianity
into the Hervey Group, of which Rarotonga
is one of the principal islands. This volume
contains interesting sketches of not only the
Hervey Group, but also several islands in
what is called Western Polynesia, namely :
Aneityum. Tana, Fotuna, Eronianga (where
Rev. J. Williams was killed), Fate, Mare,
Lifu, New Caledonia, and other islands.
English missionaries who have labored under
the patronage of the London Missionary Society have issued several most interesting
volumes, illustrative of missionary life, including «he following "Turner's Nineteen
Years' Residence in Polynesia ; " " Buzecott's Mission Life ; " " Murray's Missions
in Western Polynesia," and several others
which we could mention. Persons desirous
of reading works relating to Polynesia, can
take up no more interesting books. The
volume now noliced, " Gems," &c, is for
sale at Thrum's book-store.

We have to record one of the most miraculous esfrom ilc itli .-it sea in many forms that have
ever been made public. Tbe bark JJusking ll'uve,
a successful China tea clipper, is down as mining in
the Sydney Mtrnlug Hriulil. Cuptaiu Vandervord
was tbe master ot the vessel, and Irom him we learn
the following particulars i—lie left Koochow on July
'2.) bound for Sydney ; and on tbe night of August
It, the weather being thick and niuulls coming
down at interval.", Captain Vandct-vord took iv the
niainlop-galluntsail at 10 r. ji , and went bctow to
lie on the sofa in the cabin ; at half-pant 10 he went
on deck again aud was just in time to see a'small
island right ahead ; he shouted to the man at the
wheel to put the helm down, and the vessel had
nearly come round when bet- heel touched on the
reef which surrounds the island. Half an hour after
taking the bottom the copper came over the weatherside in sheets, and the foremast sunk 18 inches ; tbe
mainmast was cut away, but the ship began to break
up fast. The island proved to be Wake Island,
small and uninhabited, surrounded by a reef, rendering it impossible to land if there is any wind blowing
at all. Captain Vandervord says it is 10 miles out
of the position given in the chart, 10 80' N., 167
K. The crew took to the long boat, and Captain
Vandervord secured a chart and nautical instruments,
but strange to say no compass was saved ; a case of
colouial wine, a bag and a half of bread and two
buckets were put in the boat, but no water ; and for
31 days the thirteen men were in the open boat without seeing 1 nil or a ship, or receiving any assistance
whatever. They left the wreck at 10 tbe morning
after, and with sail made of blankets sewn together,
and fixed to :ui oar, began their weary jouruey iv
search of some inhabited island. Their sufferings
may be imagined. For tho bat five day* they had
not a drop of water, and the captain served out one
bottle of CaWatTa daily between the thirteen ; that
saved their lives ; after that time they had rain and
caught wuter, but except at tbe time it was actually
raining a half pint of water each only a day was
served out and a handful of bread. To the credit of tbe
men and their commander there was no insubordination, no attempt to obtain more than their share of
tbe scanty provisions and previous water ; silently
but resigned they passed day after day, the suu
pouring down on their unsheltered heads. Every
day Captain Vandervord got the boat's position by
means of his instruments, but when the weather was
dull of course they weut in all directions for want of it
compass, and especially on cloudy nights ; it was the
master's intention to make for the Kingsmill group,
but tbe current was against them, and then a courso
was steered for Ascension Island, aud hud any of the
party been able to row they might have reached it,
but, weak as they were, all they cculd tlo was to
keep their boat before the wind with the blanket
sail. After 30 days of suffering, their mouths
parched, tongues swollen, wet with grateful showers,
scorched by a tropioal sun, fully undergoing Coleridge's Ancient Mariner'! sufferings

How Shall W« l-'Jalu liitempcmnie '
All men agree lhat Inleniperanre i* ■ terrible com to mankind. Even the liquorseller will point to the drunkard, unil remark
the wreck he is. But how to oppose it, how
to lessen its ravages nnd to diminish its effects ; there is wide and honest difference of
opinion. Total abstinence pledges, temperance societies, temperance tracts anil lectures,
have all been enthusiastically nnd faithfully
tried with varying success. The law has
been invoked to force u reformation by shutting off the supply of intoxicating agents;
but the destruction still goes on to a frightful
extent, in spile ofall these influences. Great
progress, however, in the right direction has
been made. All of these different lines of
effort have effected much, doubtless, directly
nnd arbitrarily, as oaths of abstinence, and
prohibitory laws, but their real and most valuable result is the bettor public sentiment
which they have built up and cherished.
And here, in the field of public sentiment,
lies the hope of temperance. Unless t/tat is
healthy and true, pledges, and laws, nnd cold
water legions, will go for little or nothing :
if it is sound, men will shun excess and intoxication, just as now they shun forgery or
burglary.
It is clear that under this view, the condition of public opinion on this matter is considerably below the proper standard. A
young man may drink under social conventionalities until he loses his ordinary behavior belonging lo good breeding, in an uncertain demeanor in which novel eccentricities
of manner, combined with an unexpected
and often startling association of ideas, produce an effect which would be comedy itself,
were it not so really and sadly tragic, and
we are only amused by it, instead of being
shocked ; or if we are shocked, the impression is light and transient. We scorn and
shun the confirmed drunkard, who, in the
grasp of his terrible habit, from which he is
well-nigh powerless to escape, deserves our
deepest pity, while the festive reveler, starting, of his own choice, down the same road
is a "good fellow," and suffers not in our esteem. In other words, intemperance in itself
is not criminal in the view of society, which
only passes sentence upon its victims when
from its effects they become no longer bearable. Results are punished, the causes arc
passed over. Under the prevalence of this
sentiment, it is not strange that men should
thoughtlessly and freely indulge in stimulants which custom has made social, and
easily overstep the limit* of a temperate use,
and that without any compunctions of con-

Profanity in Type.
It is bad enough to hear words of profanity drop from the lips of excited, thoughtless
and wicked men who have not the fear of
God before their minds, but positively inexcusable and indecent for editors and magazine writers to cover over their pages with
profane words or expressions, although they
may be included within quotation marks.
Some California papers are highly culpable
upon this point, but when the " Atlantic
Monthly " allows low and profane expressions to disfigure its pages, it certainly forfeits the title of " immaculate " given to it by
Hawthorne. Suppose Thackeray and other
writers in their private correspondence with
the editor of that magazine, so far forgot
themselves as to write words of profanity,
we hardly think the writer of the series of
articles entitled " Whispering Gallery," is
justified in putting their profanity in type.
If it is wrong to use one profane word, how
much more so to multiply it ten thousand
times by printing and re-printing it ?
from the Marquesas.— By the rethe American whaleship Concordia,
Capt. Jones, which took the Rev. S. Kauwealoha to the Marquesas last fall, recent news
has been received. The long and severe
drought has made food scarce upon the islands—breadfruit especially. Nothing of special interest to report. Mr. Keiwi was very
low with sickness on the island of Fatuhiva.
Oap't. Jones supplied the missionaries with
stores for their present necessities. The missionaries write in appreciation of Capt. Jones'
kindness.

On the 13th of April, W. C. Jones, Esq.,
American origin
of the Hawaiian people. He took the ground
that the Malayan origin ol this people could
not be established by reason and fact, but
that they must have come hither from the
American coast. This idea he endeavored
to prove by the natural course of winds and
currents, by.laoguagc and the habits of the
people. While we are not quite prepared to
accede to this new theory, we confess there
is one strong argument against the old Malayan theory, which Mr. Jones urged with
much force, i.e., the winds and currents.
The lecturer also endeavored to sustain the
proposition that the Hawaiian* are the tppical
people of Polynesia, and other groups of islands have been peopled from this group.
There was so much that was really new and
interesting in the theory of Mr. Jones, that
we sincerely hope the lecture may be published. It will be eagerly perused by that
large and increasing class of readers who are
interested in tracing the migration and origin
of nations.

results of that expedition are embodied in a

to the edition published in 1853,and now

awakened by these investigations grew the
Palestine Exploration Fund, with the institution of which our readers have already
been made familiar, and now for more than
six years the new work of exploration which
that Fund enabled, has been in progress,
under the direction eft" Captains Wilson and
Warren, R. £. The statement of the present results of their labors forms the most interesting volume whose title stands at the
head of this notice. If the actual discoveries so far nidde are not of the highest importance, certain clues have been gained
which may lead to greater things hereafter,
und a stimulus has been imparted to effort
in this direction which must be widely felt.
Already a movement has been made in this
country, looking to similar explorations in
the lands lying east of the Jordan. The
narratives embodied in 'The Recovery of
Jerusalem ' are exceedingly minute, and are
amply illustrated by maps and engravings.
The information here gathered cannot fail to
prove attractive to all antiquarians, but will
have an especial fascination for students of
the Bible and of the long history for which
Jerusalem furnishes a centre. Reference has
already been nude to the drouth in 1864
which gave occasion for the present series of
explorations. In this connection we make
the following extract:
" The principal dependence of the inhabitants is on the cisterns, which receive the
rain collected on the roofs and terraces of
their houses. Those cisterns which have
lately been built by Europeans in convents
and dwelling-houses, are good, and, being
carefully cleaned out once a year, always
keep the water sweet, but it is far otherwise
in the native houses. When rain commences
to fall, every effort is made to collect as much
as possible; all the channels are thrown
open, and through these the summer's accumulation of rubbish is carried into the cisterns below; water is even collected from
the streets, and the state they are in at the
end of the dry season is almost too filthy for
description. During early summer little evil
arises from using the water of these cisterns,
the heavier particles settling to the bottom;
toward autumn, however, the water gets low,
the buckets in descending stir up the deposit,
and the mixture which thousands then have
to use as their daily beverage, is too horrible
to think of. It is at this time that a miasma
appears to rise from the refuse, and that the
fever season commences. It is difficult to
obtain statististical information in Jerusalem,
but one fact alone will show the unhealthy
nature of the city: the Jewish population is
estimated at about 9,000, yet in twelve
months, more than 13,000 cases of sickness
were attended to in their own hospital and
that of the Protestant Mission. Much relief
might be obtained by the adoption of a few
simple sanitary precautions; every cistern
should be well cleaned once a year and the
refuse removed to a distance, instead of being
thrown in front of the door to be carried back
to the cistern by the first shower. The roofs
and terraces of the houses should be well
swept, and the water from them made to
pass through wire gauze or some simple filtering apparatus, before entering the cistern."

Robinson died worth nearly six millions, all
of which his daughter inherited. Sylvia Ann
Howland, the aunt, was an old and feeble
woman, childless, of simple habits, and living
a retired life. She died some time after
Hetty's father, " worth," as the phrase is,
over two millions. Hetty Robinson was her
chief companion in her later years; and
when the old lady died, a will was found
dated in 1863, giving about half of her estate in charity, and the income of the remainder to her niece. Hereupon Hetty Robinson produced another will, which gave her
the whole estate; and asserted her claims
before the courts of law. Her story was that
she and the old lady, her aunt, had exchanged
wills, each agreeing to bequeath to the other
all her property; that this was done before
the death of Mott Robinson, at the instance
of the old lady, who did not like Hetty's
father; and that it was a condition of this
exchange of wills, that neither snould alter
ihe testamentary disposition without notice
to the other. Now the opponents of Hetty
Robinson's claims, disputed the genuineness
of one of the signatures in this will—that on
the "second page," which was in fact a fly
leaf. It is an ugly word, but the fact is,
they charged that Sylva Ann Howland's
signature on the two copies produced of this
" second page," were forged. And it is here
that we meet with the astonishing contradiction, on which we remarked above.
John E. Williams, president of the Metropolitan Bank; Joseph E. Paine of Brooklyn,
thirty years an accountant; George Phippen,
Jr., of Boston, a bank teller ; Solomon Lincoln, cashier and president of a bank ; Chas.
A. Putnam, broker and banker, of Boston ;
William F. Davis, of Boston, formerly bank
clerk, and for twenty years a studentof handwriting ; Lemuel Gulliver, a bank cashier,
and others, tesified that the signatures were
undoubtedly forged. George N. Comer, president of the commercial college in Boston, an
expert in handwriting, declared that both the
signatures to the second page," were forgeries, and that one was done by placing
pnper over a genuine signature and making

preme Judicial Court; Francis W. Palfrey,

and Joseph B. Spear, a copyist, former clerk
to Governor Andrew. These signatures all
show a remarkable uniformity, and in some
of them the covering appears us remarkable
as in those of the case at bar."
But this is not all; Sylvia Ann Howland's
own signatures to bills of lading were tested,
and, it is asserted, in some instances found
to match as closely as the disputed signatures. What shall we say then to Professor
Peirce, with his mathematical calculation of
probabilities.
Other experts, George H. Morse,engraver,
T. C. Mullin, writing-master, Joseph A. Willard, clerk of the Superior Court, C. French,
principal of a commercial college, and John
A. Lowell, engraver, all believe the signatures genuine. George Kye, draughtsman,
experienced in tracing, found no evidence of
tracing; George Mathiot of the Coast Survey Office, believes that no one but a practiced expert could have made a tracing which
should be so well done, and holds, therefore,
that the signatures are genuine. Finally to

and palaces, wrapt in a shadowy haze. We
will not for the present linger in Naples,
overlooking the famous bay, but will press
forward to Pompeii, the dead yet living city,
the city of the past living in the present.
Pompeii was overwhelmed A. D. 79, by
the eruption of Vesuvius. It lay lor centuries covered with nshes and almost forgotten.
But in the year 1748, workmen engaged in
making excavations on its ancient site came
suddenly upon the buried city; and we of
this age are made more acquainted with the
manners and customs of the Romans in the
most brilliant period of their history, from
the uncovering of the city of Pompeii, than
from all other sources combined. A recent
writer remarks, that Pompeii is one of the
most wonderful of the antiquities of Italy,
and one which never disappoints the traveler
who is at all acquainted with the history om
ancient Rome. The impression which i
gives of the actual presence of a Roman city,
in all the circumstantial reality of its existence two thousand years ago, is so vivid and
intense, that it requires but a small effort of
the imagination to place yourself among the
multitudes which once thronged its streets
and theatres, and occupied the now voiceless
chambers. The expression so often used,
that you expect to see the inhabitants walk
out ol their houses to salute you, is scarcely
a figure of speech. Many things in fact concur to foster the illusion. You see a street
before you carefully paved and well worn,
and in good preservation, as if it had been
in use on the previous day. The houses
generally extend in unbroken lines, and even
the dilapidation is in some measure concealed
by the small modern roofs placed over the
walls to protect them from further destruction by the weather. The doors and win-

dows indeed are all open, but so they generally are in the modem houses of Italy, and
the sombre brown tints ol the walls are not
very different from what is seen in the decayed towns of the same country at the present day.
You turn to the right and to the
left, and wander from street to street, and
still you have the perfect image of a town
before you. except that no inhabitants appear,
and these you may suppose have left a few
days before. Here we have a Roman Forum,
with all its accompaniment* ol temples and
porticoes, not indeed perfect, but only so injured, that what is missing can be replaced,
and what is mutilated, restored. There are
also many shops with their utensils of trade
in l.lem, and many private houses ol all descriptions, from the pool cottage to the patrician mansion, enabling us for the lirst tints
to obtain a distinct idea of the form and arrangement of a Roman house, and giving us
as it were a glimpse of the domestic life and
manners of the people.
A few skeletons have been found in the
houses of Pompeii, showing that the volcanic
dust that covered the city, must have been
suddenly showered upon it. The neighboring city of Herciilaueum was covered with the
lavu, and hence very few mementoes of the
past have been there excavated. But Pompeii was not destroyed by streams of lava,
but by showers of cinders, mixed, as is supposed, with liquid mud, which penetrated and
flowed into all the lower parts of the houses
in 11 way that dryashes could not have done.
Hillard remarks, that the public buildings
of Pompeii, consisting of temples, basilicas,
forumsand theatres, were doubtless imposing
in theiraspect, and of fine architectural forms,
but their ruins are somewhat disappointing,
from the nnture of their materials. They
were not built of marble or stone, but of brick
covered over with stucco. This will do very
well in a climate so mild as that of southern
Italy, but nothing is more paltry and shabby
than a brick ruin. Vegetation must give it
grace and beauty, and there is none here.
The visitor is conducted to a wide space
strewn over with shafts and capitals of columns, with fallen pediments, broken walls,
yawning chasms hall filled with rubbish and
shapeless masses of masonry, and he is told
that here was a basilica, and there a forum
and a temple; but unless his eye be so
trained as to see beauty in deformity and
symmetry in disorder, he must turn away
discouraged and disappointed.
Pompeii is supposed at the time of its destruction to have contuined twenty-five thousand inhabitants, and from the few skeletons
found in the houses, nearly all the inhabitants must have had time to escape. In a
building supposed to have been a garrison,
the skeletons of four men were found, and
from the place where they lay, it is supposed
that they were keeping guard, when the
showers of cinders fell upon the doomed city.
But they did not fly, but stood firm at their
post of duty, and met a brave and fearful
death, showing at least that bravery and
fidelity are not confined to our age.

Editors of various newspapers, at the suggestion of astronomers, have been calling attention to the near approach to each other of
the two planels, Jupiter and Venus. Their
appearance is certainly very fine and grand
as they adorn the evening sky in the west.
The association of these two heavenly bodies
reminds us of s passage in the opening of
the fifteenth book of Homer's Iliad. The old
Grecian poet represents Jupiter as awakening from sleep " on Ida's height " one bright
morning.and looking down upon the warring
Greeks and Trojans. The Greeks were triumphant, and the Trojans were fleeing, while
Hector of " the glancing helm," lay stretched
upon thi! plain, Jupiter immediately saw
the sad plight of his favorites the Trojans,
and knew that his wife Juno had been practicing her wiles upon him, by tiie aid of"the
magic belt ol Venus" In his fury, Jupiter
addresses Juno in the following language,

THE FKIEiND,
JUNE I. 1871.
Homer's Iliad and Hawaiian Meles.
We desire once more to call the attention
of Hawaiian scholars, to the desirableness of
giving some attention to the subject of Hawaiian meles, for the purpose of illustrating
some perplexing questions connected with
the poems of Homer. Upon examination,
it might be found that there is no little resemblance between these meles nnd the
" chants " or " ballads " sting by the Rapsodists of ancient Greece. There is a most
interesting article in the North American
Review, for April, called forth by the recent
publication of Bryant's Translation of the
Iliad. Persons interested in the discussion
of the " Homeric question " and kindred
topics will read this article with much interest. This writer describes the Homeric
poems " as chants addressed to the sense of
melody," and refers to that class of translators, who treat the Iliad as " a series of
ballads, joined together as an after-thought
by some others, than the. bard or bards, who
first sung them."
If our ideas of Hawaiian or Polynesian
meles are correct, they were unwritten chants
addressed to the gar and rehearred by a
class of men corresponding very nearly to
the ancient Grecian Rapsodists. Many of
these meles, we understand, have now been
committed to writing and are in possession
ot Mr. Fornander, President Alexander, and
the Hawaiian Government. The late Mr.
Andrews, author of the Hawaiian Dictionary,
collected many of the meles and. his papers,
we learn, have been purchased by the Government. Is there no one, who will edit a
sufficient number of these meles, to let the
literary world know their worth, and at the
same time describe their origin and method
of preservation ? Perhaps some Hawaiian
Pisistratus might join them together and
form a little Iliad !
I FRIEND, JUNE, Is
found a form in our language which three
competent critics will agree to call adequate."
The Bible is sometimes called a wonderful book, penned by so many different
writers, in so many different ages and parts
of the old world, yet breathing the same
spirit and characrerized by such marvellous
unity ; yet, if not as wonderful and marvellous as the Bible, still the Poems of Homer
will take precedence of all human compositions. They out-rank and out-shine all
human productions, yet who can tell us who
was Homer, or where he lived, or where he
was born ? When the Greeks commenced
as an historic people, the Poems of Homer
were old—were ancient. After all that has
been written upon these Poems in ancient
and modern times, including such men as
Wolf, Mure, Grote, and hundreds more, still,
says Mr. Lewis, no history of the Homeric
Poems can be written and any account of
them which aims to be satisfactory must be
"
largely conjectural."
In reading late numbers of Every
Saturday, now illustrated and improved, we
notice that the author of "Tom Brown of
Rugby," Thomas Hughes, Esq., is writing
a series of sketchy and graphic articles upon
American .colleges. We have read with
much interest his notices of Harvard and
Cornell Universities—the oldest and youngest of American Colleges. We are somewhat surprised that an English Universityman, with a mind under the influences of
Oxford prejudices, should find so much to
commend and so little to censure in the
American system of education. Perhaps,
we ought not to be surprised at this fact, for
we do not forget his keen criticism and
caustic expose of the fagging and roasting
practices of Rugby. He was also a great
admirer of Dr. Arnold, head-master of Rugby, whose reformatory measures have had
such an influence upon the educational system of England. While educators of the
New World may learn much by going
to the Old World, so may those of
the Old World learn something useful,
by visiting America and witnessing that
wonderful fusing process now in progress. Opposite national traits and peculiarities, old and stereotyped prejudices,
may now there be seen rubbing against each
other, being modified and softened by contact, and finally settling down and gradually
being welded together and forming a new
nationality, which, in after ages, will prove
to be a vast improvement. We believe old

Old Xi ins of Polynesia.—The exploreis
of old ruins in Egypt, Nineveh, Jerusalem,
Athens, Rome, Central America, Mexico,
and Peru, have come to feel that their work
was about done and their occupation gone,
but a new field is opening. Strange as it
may appear, Polynesia has its ruins and its
hieroglyphics. A writer in the Town and
Country, a weekly illustrated paper, published in Sydney, is now furnishing for that
paper, a series of engravings and explanations, respecting old ruins on Bonape,
Strong's Island, and the Kingsmill Islands.
They tell of an age and people unknown to
any now living upon those islands. Having
seen with our eyes the ruins on Bonape and
Strong's Islands, we are somewhat prepared
for such explorations. As yet a profound
mystery rests upon the whole subject. Dr.
Rae tells us, Polynesians belong to a very
old race of humanity coeval with what the
learned style the stone age; and W. C.
Jones, Esq., came back from a recent trip to
Hawaii stating that he has discovered an
old ruin on that island, resembling the
old Mexican ruins of the Temple of Cholula.
Who knows, but that the garden of Eden
may yet be discovered as located in the
Pacific Islands ! We certainly may witness
here the ruins of the fall!
General Meeting.—The Hawaiian EvangelicalAssociation will commence its sessions
next week, on Monday. The Association
is now composed of about forty ordained
Hawaiian Pastors, five Lay Delegates from
Hawaii, four from Maui, four from Oahu,
and three from Kauai, besides a few foreign
Pastors and Delegates. The proceedings
are all conducted in the Hawaiian language.
Thus, it appears, that the missionary work
has pretty effectually passed over to the
hands of the Hawaiians. This is as it
should be.
Drinking Petroleum.—It is among the
marvels of modern chemistry that a sparkling, foaming champagne wine can be produced from refined petroleum, which will
please the eye and tickle the palate like the
genuine, but is more deadly in iis effect upon
the consumer.
Judging from the effects upon some who
suppose they have been drinking brandy or
gin, or wine, in Honolulu, may it not be
that they have been drinking petroleum ?
Poor Education.—The statistics of education in France, which for fifty years has
been in the hands of the priests, show that
forty out of a hundred women contracting
marriage were entirely illiterate, and a large
proportion of those who professed to be educated could barely sign their names ; SJB per
cent, of the men could not sign the marriage
register, and one-third of the conscripts
could neither read nor write. These facts
show the need of the reform that the government is introducing.

Lecture on Public Opinion.
Abolish the Bar.—We learn that the I
owners of the Australian line of steamers,!
are contemplating improvements in the
accommodations on board their vessels. It
is not only our opinion, but that of |
many others, that it would be a great
improvement in those vessels if the bar
was abolished, or certainty removed from
the prominent place which it occupies on
ship-board. We do not believe the public
good requires a public bar to be opened on
steamers running in the Pacific.
Judge Hartvvell favored our community
a most excellent lecture upon this
subject a few evenings since, at the
Olympic Hall. It is highly agreeable
and profitable, when men of the legal
profession or those presiding upon the
Bench, are willing to bring forth from
their store house of gathered lore, illustrations for a lecture upon some topic of
public interest. The Drecedents cited in

Question.
Various circumstances have caused this
question to be a good deal discussed in Honolulu o( late. The principal cuufe however has been the arrangement (happily only
a temporary one) by which an important
steamer arrival has regulurly taken place on
Sunday, necessitating, in order to insure a
speedy transmission of mails and business
orders to Australia, a good deal of Sunday
work, to say nothing of the excitement and
discussion from the usually-considered profitable mode of observing the day.
It should not be necessary in any discussion on such a subject to call names. The
use of the terms "Puritanical," "bigoted,"
&c., &c, is in fact about as old-fashioned as
the doctrines supposed to be illustrated
thereby. It is not to be supposed either,
unless there' is good proof thereof, that
either side has any desire to injure either
the pockets or reputation of the other. Why,
then, so many otherwise respectable and
sensible men should fly into a passion when
such subjects come up, is n question which
we must just now leave to philosophers to
explain.
There are two grounds for the observance ;
distinct and each self-sufficient, and still
each supporting the other. The first is the
command ; wrongly supposed, even by some
who are good Christians, to have become
obsolete with the change in the day. But
it stands in good company; on an equal
footing with other commands that no one
disputes. Alongside of " Thou shalt not
kill;" " Thou shalt not bear false witness ;"
stands, " In it thou shalt do no work." The
same authority, the same authenticity, the
same general adaptation to the wants of human society, exist for this as for the others.
Believing this, is it unmanly or unreasonable
to obey, or even is it superstitious to expect
reward for such obedience and vice versa?
" Work " means the business of the six
days allotted thereto, and it was in answer
to a constrained interpretation of this word
"work" that the Divine Man uttered what
is the second ground for observance of the
day:"The Sabbath is made for man."
With respect to this there is no difficulty in
convincing most men that a day of rest from
actual business is a good thing, especially
when convenient. It would seem however
as if the principle should be carried further.
Man is so constituted, that he cannot be fully
developed into all that the Maker intended,
without devoting time and strength to the
worship of that Maker. He is injuring and
wronging both himself and society, by not
taking a due proportion of time, and devoting a due proportion of evening to this noble
and truly manly duty which alone can save
society from utter corruption. Hence it is
that society has a right to demand, and a
community have a right to demand that
what interferes with this duty shall be
stopped, except when rial exigencies require
exceptions. There is no bigotry, nor superstition, nor intolerance in this; it is sound
wisdom and the best sense, and deserves
respect and consideration.
Now when we are told that " two millions
of people are waiting for their mails" it is
very true and sounds very plausible as an
argument. But no one asks the steamers to
be idle a day. Do not the Eastern mails
throb in regular pulsations into San Francisco from New York daily, yea, twice a day ?
Is it not possible to accommodate those
waiting two millions by Stirling the steamer
on Thursday instead of on Saturday for her
eight-days-to-a-minute voyage? Or is the

to make the meeting interesting. The reports showed thiit through the liberal remembrance of our citizens, the present wants of

The meeting was rendered interesting by
varied remarks and proposals from different
members. An Envoy Plenipotentiary was
qualified, in the person'of one of the members departing for the States (W. R. Castle),
to represent the Honolulu Y. M. C. A.
abroad. One of the most important measures
of the evening was the adoption of a plan
for the production of essays at the regular
monthly meetings, the subject to be announced the month previous, in order that
news telegraphed on Saturday more valuable
than that of any other day. Or is it barely
possible that British letters arriving in New
York on the previous Sunday—giving six
days for the passage across, —are the only
valuable ones? And here we leave the subject, feeling, that perhaps, after all the timetable is changed, and that in this case it is a
dead Satan that we are after. But the
weapons will do for another encounter.

so inclined.
After the business of the meeting had
