Comly, has entered upon his official duties, coming with a good war-record and reputation as a successful journalist, having for many years managed the Ohio State Journal, one of the oldest papers of the West. He served during the war, only one grade below President Hayes. They were companions, on more than a score of hard fought battle fields, and have been intimately associated in political and public life. Our limits will not allow us to republish the addresses of the retiring Minister, Mr. Pierce, or that of the in-coming General Comly, but they were highly appropriate and suited to the occasion. We feel confident His Majesty will find the present incumbent as friendly and conciliatory as has been Mr. Pierce, who for eight years has so honorably .represented the United States Government at the Hawaiian Court, during which period has been negotiated the Treaty of Reciprocity, which is operating so eminently beneficial to the business and commercial interests of both countries. "Fear God, Honor the King."—This was the apostle Peter's doctrine, and it is ours. Considering what God hath said about the Sabbath, while it is highly proper on all suitable occasions, to honor the King by firing a Royal Salute, we think so far as a salute on that Day is concerned, it would be more honorable to His Majesty to follow Shakespeare's idea : '• But to my mind.—though native her* And to the manner bom,—it is a custom More honour'd in Ibe breach, than the observance." As to the exchange of salutes between national vessels and the government on the Sabbath, we have always admired our good old Governor Kekuanaoa's reply, when a messenger announced that a certain vessel of war recently arrived, was prepared to exchange a salute. The Governor was in Church at the time, (a highly suitable place for a Governor or any of the King's officers on that day) when the messenger arrived, the Governor replied apopo —to-morrow. " " Cassell's Family Bible.—While glancing over new books at Whitney's bookstore, which he was just opening from London, pur attention was arrested by a beautiful copy of Cassell's Family Bible. Without speaking in words of exaggeration, the illustrations are excellent and numerous. We have been carefully examining this edition of the Bible, and can most cordially recommend it, for the type, references, notes, illustrations and general execution are most perfect. It contains "more than 500 engravings." .Some of these are of the best description; artists and publishers have executed their work well. The engravings are really a good commentary; those of Rome, Athens, Jerusalem, and other ancient cities are reproduced in a style reflecting the highest credit upon the artists. They are most life-like. The price is only SIS.OO. —Mr. Whitney has for sale Bibles in various other styles of printing and binding. The Rev. Joseph Cook, commences his winter course of lectures in Boston to-day, at 12 o'clock, and they are to be continued every Monday, until the Ist of May 1878.

The journey from Geneva to Zurich is rendered especially interesting by the opportunity which is afforded of visiting Berne and Fribourg, which lie on the route. It seemed a little odd, as you can imagine, to be leaving Geneva, where I had been for so many months, and going away from the pleasant circle Which had been so marked a feature of the winter's life there. But one of the characteristic features of a life oftravel is the parting and the " good-bye which come with nearly every day. Those who come abroad should certainly know Geneva well, it is worth far more than a swift summer visit, and beautiful as it is when the warm lights of May and June soften the landscape, yet one sees the Geneva of thought and action best in winter, with its conferences, lectures, addresses, etc. If any of our families are thinking of coming for a year to Europe 1 hope they will give Geneva its due attention. But this is not Fribourg certainly, but rather a parting look back at the old Calvinistic city which has lain like a scroll before me from the sunny days of December to the fragrant twilights of June. Switzerland undergoes the most complete metamorphosis of any country in the world with the coming of summer. From a lonely silent world of icy wastes and solemn forests, it becomes the play-ground of all Europe and its passes and lakes and glaciers and mountains are the delight of innumerable tourists who come like an army from the beginning of summer till the early days of autumn. Just now the current of travel has set in and all the trains and stationsfhre animated by the faces of those who are seeking rest or pleasure away from busy, dusty cities amid the cool retreats of these Swiss mountains and valleys. I know that it is extremely democratic but if you want to see the people of the country, you must keep away from the first class cars and compartments and occasionally find a nook somewhere amid the 3rd class passengers. If your pride, especially American pride, can stand this economical venture you will find yourself abundantly repaid. The cars themselves are quite comfortable enough for any one except a confirmed invalid or persistent " �82 « THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, nristocrat, and the people thoroughly civil polite. The peasantry can of course be c seen here, and they seem to take with remarkable ease to this modern method of travel. There is a sad decline in picturesque costumes however, and the dress of the present day with its lack of artistic possibilities is taking the place of these uniqe arrangements of toilette which have made the Swiss such agreeable additions to the pictures and sketches which have filled the portfolios of artists wandering in their val- leys and by their lake. Occasionally you catch glimpses of people in their national costume ; a woman with her bodice brilliant with silver chains, or another with her head ornamented with a wide spreading bow of ribbon, reaching out like two wings, but the romance of the quaint and curious fancies of the olden time is as a general thing lost under the bonnets and hats and dresses which you would find anywhere among the poor people of New York or London. The mountains with their glittering summits, the foamy streams, the wide reaches of the valleys, with their endless varieties of coloring, still remain, but you must not think that in all other respects you are to find your romantic imaginings fulfilled in coming to Switzerland. But after all, railroads, telegraphs, perfect postal arrangements, hotels, daily papers have their advantages, and you can dispense with a little romance perhaps in the midst of so much comfort. The road from Geneva to Fribourg lies through a very beautiful country, not ever wild or grand, but always beautiful. I was fortunate in my day, in visiting this Catholic city, as it was one of the most important fete days of the year. Every store was closed but the whole town was out in holiday costume. All the long winding streets were convertedinto avenues of freshly leaved trees, as countless boughs had been cut from the groves about the city and placed in front of nearly every house. The effect of all this bright, fresh summer beauty among the old houses and springing magically from thepavements was very beautiful. In that pleasant, informal way in which travellers oftentimes make arquaintence, I joined company with a young Belgian, who, like myself, would see all there was to be seen. He had been in America, had spent some months in Philadelphia, during our Exposition, and would, if he could have staid in the country, which seems to be a kind of constant lure to Europeans. I must confess that I knew very tittle else about Fribourg but that it contained one of the most wonderful organs in the world, and of course hurried ofTto the Cathedral, to be informed that there was only aVare possibility that I could hear it at all. Having several hours of sunlight left we. devoted them to seeing the town. Fribourg has no Lake to give it fame but its streets run down to the swift, tawny waters of the Sarine which winds about the base of the town. Two beautiful suspension bridges, spanning with one splendid leap the valley beyond the town add wonderfully to the landscape. Under the first the river passes and from the second the traveler is favored with a bird's-eye view, which amply repays him for the walk hither. It seems as if the very atmosphere which surrounds the city had caught the spirit of the Fete-day, 1877. so suffused is it with radianf sunlight. The Cathedral tower rises like a guardian of the city. Four ancient towers, loom up in the foreground whose history perhaps dates from that far past when Berthold of Zaehringen founded the city. A portion of the ancient wall still remains, and about us on the two banks are beautiful groves of trees. There is just beyond a winding walk among the trees out into the country from which you have a fine view of the Moleson and its snowy cap. A little Catholic church lies on the way and its interior is brilliant with flowers, and pictures and relics. Farther on is a large crucifix bearing the dead Christ. Passing under this ancient portal, which may have served as an entrance to the city in olden times, you reach a little chapel, with an exterior like a Greek temple, •' La Chapelle dc Lorette," which perches high on the bank and is curiously interesting in its roughly fashioned votive offerings, the simplicity of which would be amusing, were there not something pathetic in the spirit which prompted their donors. After having been so long in Geneva, I feel almost as if 1 was transported into some different world, as 1 meet these reminders of superstition and Catholicism on every hand. The great wave of the reformation seems to have left un- harmed its saints, crucifixes, relics and staand its peculiar middle age atmosphere. Our way leads us back past the cafes where the men are gathered for their afternoon's amusement, and through quiet streets, winding up to the public Place, with its statue of Pere Girard, one of the men, the memory of whose goodness still survives. At one side is a grand linden tree, still putting forth its leaves in its old age, though one would have said that long ago it was entitled to a rest and perfect freedom from effort. For the story runs that after the battle of Morat in 1476 a young Fribourgeois, ran the long distance to announce to his fellow citizens the result of the battle, but could only shout Victoire " as he fell dead from exhaustion. "The branch of linden which he bore in his hand was immediately planted and to-day we have the sturdy growth of four hundred years, as a silent witness to the heroic deed, which we will hope is founded on truthful and authentic history. Fribourg has jts famous Jesuitical seminary, now however closed, its Hotel dc Ville, but the great attraction is the church of St. Nicholas or rather the organ which it contains. I fairly haunted the cathedral for fear that possibly I might have to go away without really hearing a note from the pipes which lifted themselves so silently in the rear of the church. But after many efforts anß inquiries I achieved my object. The church itself is a fine Gothic structure and its interior was rendered especially beautiful by the verdant boughs which were fastened to each stone pillar and made the nave very bright and fete-like. A kind hearted concierge with a tongue running glibly in French and German, showed me hither and thither, the altar, and the side chapels, with their pictures and flowers, and bones and skulls, in cases and ornamented most profusely, recalling some saint or martyr in name if not in reality. As the twilight gathered I came back again and in the dim half-lighted church waited for the music, tues - whose praises have been sung by so many travelers. And it came very full and rich and powerful filling the church and in great waves of sound to the arches above. The organist played for about a half or three quarters of an hour giving us in that time four or five pieces, which enabled him to introduce many of the remarkable effects of which this famous organ is capable. The Tempest is very grand and the thunder peals forth with a terrible reality, crashing and resounding, and then dying away in the distance, in the most perfect imitation of that far off sound which is so agreeable a change after the fierce tumult which has preceeded it. Far above the wild, and stormy war of the tempest, could be heard the sweet, clear, flute-like notes of the organ, like a hymn of peace in the midst of tumult. It seemed almost impossible that the same instrument could produce such utterly different music. The human-voice is wonderfully well imitated and after the music was over I asked if the organist had not been singing, as he played. Though 1 had thought that it might be the vox humaua, yet I was scarcely prepared for anything so remarkably real and true, rising and falling with the sweet, melodious tenderness of some voice in the distance, or rather as the mingled cadence of two voices, not ever strongly, sharply marked but causing you to listen hoping that the next note would make it sure whether you were really being deceived or not. Then the echoes which we listened to; so soft and sweet, that they are more like the quiet hint of the firm strong notes' which preceded them, than any real sounds from the same instrument. But it is impossible for me to give you as I would like to do the wonderful music of this Fribourg organ,—a task as difficult as it would be to endeavor to translate into plain prose the beauty of these June days on the banks of Lake Zurich. After the concert 1 followed the man who has the arduous duty of working the bellows, up into the loft where the enormous apparatus is placed which is necessary to furnish the air for all the thunder and music to which we had just been listening. We had been enjoying a» immense deal while this poor fellow must have been working with all his energy, " treading out the air." The organ itself extends up into the tower of the church, and from the front is in no especial degree striking in appearance, nothing at all like the magnificent proportions of the Boston organ, or that in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake. One can judge something however of its size, when he considers that it has seven thousand eight hundred pipes, some of which are thirty feet high. The banks of keys and rows of stops or rather handles are enough in themselves to daunt any but the most experienced performer and one would feel some hesitancy in venturing upon unknown ground for fear he might unchain more tempests than he could command. I was more than pleased with all that 1 had heard, but still I had not been so impressed with the music that I felt as 1 remember a young lady once told me she and her party almost involuntarily did in coming out of the church, imagine there was rain outside' as a necessary consequence of this storm.

Damon. �OCTOBER, 1877. 83 TH E F RIEND, Opium Smuggling. #When the Hawaiian Government passed a law for the good morals of the community und the protection of the subjects of this kingdom, it was naturally to be expected that some evil disposed persons, for the mere love of " filthy lucre," would endeavor to evade the law, by smuggling. We should suppose such persons had found their attempts somewhat hazardous to both their pockets and reputation. It has been found that persons detected in this violation of law, have been most fearfully ashamed of their conduct and were ready to pay almost any sum of money if they could escape exposure. We cannot speak for Chinese smugglers, but we know such to have been the fact with those professing to pass as honorable Americans and others. It has been found anything but a reputable business. We have now a suggestion to make, that hereafter all detected in this illegal business, have their names and residences published in the newspapers, as the names of persons are now published in the New York papers, who are regarded as the meanest men, viz: men who have discharged their clerks because they left their employ for a short time to quell the not!! The names of all smugglers are, of course, upon the records of the Police Court, ami should the list be increased, it might be proper to publish them. We also suggest to newspaper editors on the coast, in Osegon and California, that they warn all engaged in the Sandwich Islands trade against smuggling. The chances of success are pretty small.

The Alga or Sea-Mosses.—Of late years, our Island ferns have attracted a good deal of attention, but it was not until lately that any one was found to be a sufficiently pains-taking and devout student of nature, to spend days weeks and months, wandering over our reefs, and along our coral-girt islands, to gather and examine our sea mosses. Such a man has at last appeared, Mr. Evans Chamberlain, compelled in consequence of ill health to forego the practice of professional duties, and literary pursuits, he has undertaken the study of one genus of plants,—the Algae. He has become an enthusiast in this study and finds over one hundred species of sea-mosses, which are exceedingly beautiful.

Yet an army would muster in twenty-four hours, to doand of American present, hundreds flags were displayed from the windows of citizens' houses. The authorities of the city, and also the English and American clergymen of Geneva, were present. Speeches complimentary to General Grant were made by M. Carteret, President of Geneva, and by several of the principal clergymen." In noticing this important event, we are most naturally led to reflect upon the influence of John Calvin and his opinions and principles, not only upon the religious history of our world during the last three hundred years, but also their influence upon the progress of liberty and the political revolutions throughout the world. The American historian Bancroft and the English historian, Froude, are esteemed the best historical writers of the age. Our readers, we think will peruse with interest, the following extract, from Bancroft, copied from the first volume of his history of the United States: fend the liberties of the Confederation, that all Europe would respect. So much for tha land of John Calvin and lor, the theology that to many call awful. His however waa the truth that maketh free." Rev. (i. S. Abbott, " Watchman." The celebrated Lecturer, Rev. Joseph Cook, gave utterance to the following sentiment, at a meeting of Ministers in Fanieuel Hall, in Boston, last June : Plymouth Rock is a piece of granite brockon oft the Alps at Geneva. When were tbey thrown up? There was an hour on Calvary, when the sun muffled up his face at noon, and the rocks wore rent, and then wore thrown up the Alps, oft' which Plymouth Rock was broken." In this connection, we append a sketch of the old Reformer, which we received from our European correspondent some months since : " JOHN CALVIN. You will think perhaps that I am going to leave Geneva with scarcely a word about Calvin, the one great and illustrious character in Genevese history which overshadows all others.

Singular, isn't it, that it should be now occupied by lasting peril." �86 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, the Sisters ol Charity ? Imagine the Reformer's feelings at this invasion of Catholicism ; then the cemetery where his body lies, but unmarked by any stone. After all it is very little that remains in the way of material souvenirs of one who was the greatest theologiofn of any age. No one ever lived who seemed so desirous of losing his personal individuality in the realization of ideas as he, and it would seem that his wishes had received a fulfillment in the scarcity of objects which are connected with memories of his daily life and in the continual and marked presentation of that irresistible and imperial force and will, which seem still a living power. Of course, as every one knows Calvin was not the founder of the reformation in Geneva. The political and religious storms of generations had prepared the way for this event, and many grand and noble men had a share in its founding; it was left to this timid, shrinking French theologian, passionately devoted to his books and thoughts, to undertake the even more difficult and delicate task of completing that which had already been begun. No one can study the face of Calvin, with its intense lines, its rigid, unyielding features, its almost corpse-like palor, and feel that it is the face of a man to whom life was ever a holiday. So early did great thoughts, incessant study, unbending mental efforts become a part of his every day existence that you look in vain for those tender, care-free, sunny traits, which time and advancing age sometimes leave untouched in faces that have grown grave and earnest, in the midst of trials and struggles. So that in some unexpected moment you catch glimpses of a joyous childhood and youth shining through the after years. In boyhood and youth he was already regarded as possessing remarkable genius, and the Catholic party was not slow to recognize this. But with the force of his tremendous nature, he struggled from the shadows which enveloped him into the clear light of Gospel truth. The history of those early years, his school and University life, his religious change, and his noble stand in the face of opposition are most graphically told by d'Aubigne in his fascinating history. Though entering with an intense interest into the religious questions of the day, he was looking forward to a life of scholarly seclusion, to which his tastes so strongly led him, when one day passing through Geneva, he was addressed by Farel, who in the name of theLord called him to the work in that city. From this time his life became one of almost superhuman effort. At one time victorious, again in exile, attacked on all sides; coming back in triumph; moulding, forming by the energy of his undaunted spirit a people to the high and lofty ideal of his convictions. One reads in amazement the record of the life of this man.Tir rather this all absorbing flame, which seemed to glow and gather strength while the frail and wasting body was scarcely thought of. His house was furnished in the scantiest and plainest manner. Aside from his duties as professor he preached nearly every other day, and often twice on Sundays. Engaged actively in all the affairs of that civic-religious government which he had been the means of founding, and of which he was the virtual chief, visited 1877. the sick and made the city his parish. His correspondence was on an enormous scale, embracing Europe in its grasp, each year appeared one or two theological works. In all the theological and controversial contests in which that time was so prolific he held a foremost position, yielding the field to no man. He ate sparingly, his sleep was short and he permitted himself scarcely any exercise. In judging of the man, it is but fair to study the great actuating principle of his life and work—and this was devotion to his God. He felt that silence was a crime. That he stood in the presence of awful truths and realities, and that as an instrument only was he placed in the midst of a wicked world, to do the bidding of the Almighty. Eternal laws, divine decrees, infinite and unchanging principles, unswerving obedience, shut out from- his view glimpses ot that divine and infinite tenderness, that fatherly.and pitying love, which is equally to be noted in our study of God's word. He walked like some ancient prophet, smiting with his unrelenting scourge that which seemed in anywise unclean, yielding to no earthly voices ; pointing the people to those mountain heights of stern duty and self-victory, which ever loomed before his vision. Under this unique regime, Geneva became the stronghold of the new faith, the very Rome of Protestantism. It became the central point toward which converged all the channels of religious thought, and from which issued increasing streams of influence for all Europe. It became the asylum for the persecuted and exiled. Scotland sent hither her famous JohnKnox. " The Geneva of Calvin was a pulpit and press." Bibles, tracts, theological treatises carried in every direction the new light. Hundreds of young evangelists drew inspiration from the Reformer's lifeand teachings, and passed on the word to other countries. The voice of the reformation was heard in English, in German, in French, in Italian, and in Spanish. Luxury,revelling, intemperance were banished. All theloose and wanton life which had gained such ascendency under the rule of the Catholic Bishops fled in dismay before this new and unyielding purity. We see a city of the most severe and heroic cast, living under a sway where religion and that too of the strickest type, was ever uppermost. Each man lived in the constant presence of a life to come. Each family and individual were under the watchful and guardian eye of their appointed leaders. Music, cards and dancing were forbidden. The laws regulated minutely the dress and apparel of each class of citizens. All ornament in gold or silver, all fashionable or excessive dress were laid aside. Profanity, impurity and looseness of life found severest punishment. Only those games calculated to streogthen the body and inspire a military spirit were authorized. The day commenced at five in the morning. The majority of the citizens first repaired to the church. In the afternoon the shops were closed and their owners attended service. The most severe and careful frugality was manifested in the family life; servants ate with their masters and in this city by Lake Leman we see a return to an almost Spartan simplicity of life. But all these restrictions seemed but to give new vigor to life and action. The city grew from year to year; Surely no time bas seen more splendid activity of thought and endeavor. A College and Academy arose, with their professors and faculties. But it is enough in the opinion of some to mention the name of Servetus to dissipate all Year after thougjy of what Calvin achieved. year tils most painful subject is brought up and men seem to enjoy taking the opportunity thus afforded them of lushing the memory of the reformer. That Calvin in this matter lacked the gentleness and humanity which should have characterized him, I think his most ardent admirers will confess. For years Servetus and he sustained a fierce contest in reference to theological differences, which was marked by anything but a charitable spirit. Servetus waa a man of decided ability and scrupled not to show opinions. While we would not exculpate Calvin from bis fault in the stand which he took toward him, it cannot be denied that Servetus was a most trying and unpleasant opponent. In those days men threw themselves with a wild and terrible energy into all these theological contests. They regarded those that differed from them, as possessed of the most deadly sin, and launched denunciation and invective and insult on tbem pro- portionately. One now regards with amazement the libraries of this belligerent literature which sprung up on subjects, which a wise and charitable spirit would have far more easily settled. The glare of burning faggots and the red axe of the executioner are a sad commentary on that spirit of fanaticism which in the name of religion sought to establish its claims. The world is learning that a surer wav to win men and advance truth is to unfurl that banner on which is written Love." It is do defense to Calvin to " say that he acted as was customary in that age, but it may be an explanation. Burdened with the might of his great purpose, every voice raised against it was that of an enemy. Hia greatness had its faults, and in all this matter be should be justly censured, so far as he forgot that Christian spirit which should have actuated him. The sad and painful tragedy which gives the spot where Servetus was burned, a melancholy interest, will always stand as a witness that no one should be regarded as above the possibility of failure while acting from human promptings. On the other hand the life and magnificent labors of Calvin should not be quite too common, through ibe smoke of these burning faggots. These should Dc studied in their proper place, and we are sure that no one can come away Irom this study without a lively sense of the greatness and earnest purpose ot this man, who sought not his own but God's glory. I and the longer I stay in this city on which he has stamped the memory of his name, that my wonder and admiration grow as I learn more of him. At last even his tireless life must end and calling about him his tried friends and colleagues he bid them adien, encouraging tbem to continue the work which had been begun, and giving tbem bis blessing. I have mentioned to you before the picture by Horming which represents this scene. Calvin was married in Strasbourg and bad one Bon. wbo died wben but a few years old.

My faith was dimmed by bitter doubt, I thought tbe world formed ill. I turned in sorrow homeward, When lb ! a sunbeam, freed From gloomy gray of oloud above, Brought me a better creed. For flashing through a crevice Rock-sheltered from tbe storm. It fell upon a tender oup Of lovely hue and form. There on the oold old mountain, A tiny flower bloomed A life, when all seemed dead and cold A light, when all was gloomed. I felt tbe load uplifted And Ood soemed kind again. No longer was tbe landscape drear, My heart could feel no pain. So may a kindly action Redeem a desert soul. And lead a spirit dark with sin Unto thcfhearenly goal. — Maile. Cruelty to Animals. We welcome an article in a recent number of the Maile Wreath suggesting the matter of cruelty to animals in this country. We are sure that no one can go about much in the Islands without noticing and being pained at the very general indifference which exists in jegard to the rights of the dumb creatures which are our servants. The evil takes various forms, amongst which may be mentioned cruelly beating, overloading, overdriving and underfeeding animals ; driving galled and disabled animals ; bleeding calves; the use of tight check-reins; neglect to provide water for cattle ; cruelty in the transportation of live animals and fowls to market. Besides positive abuse from thoughtless and quick-tempered men and boys a great amount of suffering is caused to poor beasts by neglect. Horses which have served their time and used up their strength are turned out to pick up such meager sustenance as they can find by the roadside or in themarshes. We recently observed a poor old skeleton of a horse standing" half dead on a little ridge of land in one the of Waikiki marshes. Three days after we /gain saw him in the same spot and attitude, evidently waiting patiently for death to put an end to his starvation. A few days later he had tumbled over into the ditch and ended his misery. Now such a state of things is a stain on the community. Its influence on the children is ruinous. It leads to the deadening of all moral sense and the disregard of our highest faculties. How shall it be remedied ? If we mistake not there is a tolerably inclusive law on the subject. But it has fallen into sad neglect if not into disuse. A first and long step in the right direction would be taken if the authorities would see that the law is enforced. But however well executed the law cannot reach the real root of the difficulty. What is most needed is a Society, backed by the law which shall keep the matter before the people and create a public sentiment against all abuse and neglect ; which shall seek to reach the children and educate them to true ideas of the rights of animals; which shall invite the cooperation of ministers and teachers and stimulate thought and expression through the pulpit and press of the country; and which shall have agents in the different parts of the different Islands, whose business it shall be to investigate cases and bring offenders to jus- tice. We have had the privilege of observing the workings of such a society established in Massachusetts some seven or eight years ago. Its complete success has demonstrated its necessity and its practicability. To give an idea of its method of work we epitomize its report for one year : The society published 12,000 copies of an essay on stock transportation ; 30,000 essays on the check-rein ; 50.000 small tracts, distributed a< Agricultural Fairs, Sec.; 130,000 copies of its paper Our Dumb Animals ; 6,000 copies of the statute on cruelty to animals; several hundred circulars on robbing bird's nests, shooting-matches, and to butchers and drovers in regard to shelter for cattle; 1,000 essays on horseshoeing were sent to the black-smiths of the State ; 200 prizes were distributed to scholars of Boston schools for compositions on "kindness to animals." An agent was employed to travel over railroads in New England west to Chicago, investigating stocktransportation and slaughtering; an animals' home was established; check-rein signs were erected at the foot of steep hills; drinking troughs were located at several points; hundreds of old and disabled horses were killed, hundreds of others were withdrawn from work. Three hundred persons were prosecuted for cruelty to animals, and more than two thousand cases investigated; a national law was secured in Congress to prevent cruelties in the transportation of cattle; and several other States were induced to pass laws and form societies. Is not this a splendid record and could not much of the same kind of work be done here ? We hope to see the matter agitated. Through the kindness of Mr. Derby, the Y. M. C. A. has held two Sabbnth vesper services in the circus tent on the Esplanade during the past month. The first, on the evening of Sept. 2d, was very fully attended. The music was led by the Band and was of itself an educating and elevating influence. The attendance on the second evening was somewhat smaller, owing in part, no doubt, to the fact that but short notice was given. The design of these meetings is to reach a class who do not ordinarily attend divine' service. One man was heard to remark that he had not been inside a church for over three years, but he would give five dollars toward the expense of repeating the tent service. This looks as though the design was being accomplished. We earnestly request those who ordinarily do attend church to go to their usual places on the evenings of the tent service. It is especially for those who do not attend elsewhere, and the only evil thus far observed as springing from it is the depopulation of other churches. Another service will be held during the next moon. The Tenth Annual Convention of the Y. M. C. Associations of Canada was held in the city of Quebec on Sept. 13th, 14th, loth and 16th. The topics assigned and freely discussed were of an unusually practical and suggestive character. Ist.

They are plantation owners. Here we have in Honolulu an English Iron Foundry, employing over one hundred hands, and now making extensive improvements and enlargements. If the Reciprocity Treaty should be abrogated by an English embroglio isf treaty negotiations, the fires of the furnace would be put out and the trip hammer would cease to chime to the busy hum of industry and profit. We should imagine Englishmen and Germans would be the loudest in their advocacy of Reciprocity. Loss of the Bark Java.—We have met with one of the crew of this vessel, which was wrecked June 7th near Fox Islands in Bherings' Sea. She had taken four whales and was " trying out," when she was stove by a cake of ice. The crew escaped on board the bark Eliza, and subsequently distributed among the other ships. Our informant was taken to San Francisco on the Jennie Pitts. So far as we can learn, out of the whole company of sixty men left last year in the Arctic, only two have survived. These were two kanakas, one Hawaiian and one Tahitian, who were sheltered among the Indians. 89 {■(©l* Series, M U. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 10 Elberfeld, Germany, > Aug. 21st, 1877. S You see I am still in Elberfeld. As I wrote you in my last, at this season of the year I find it far more pleasant to be comfortably and "coolly " settled than rushing around in hot cities. A splendid thunder storm, with abundant ruin, has cooled the air and lifted somewhat the heavy atmosphere which has hung over the city for some days past, and rendered every one exceedingly hot and tired. For a summer, this has, on the whole, been very cool and agreeable, and we have had really nothing to speak of in the way of heat till of late. I had always supposed a cty in the summer must be quite intolerable, but this German town, with its surroundings of fields and beautiful woods, orchards and gardens, is almost always fresh and cool. We are just through the week of anniversaries here, which correspond to our meeting of the American Board or the May meetings in England. Here they continue one whole week, from Sunday to Sunday,—several different services taking place each day. A large number of clergyman from all parts of Germany have been present, and the "crowds at some of the meetings have been tremendous. One unique feature, especially striking to an American, is the " Coffee Meetings." There have been a number of these. One of them 1 attended at " Vereins-haus," in Barmen. There must have been from 800 to 1000 persons present. Long tables were spread in the large hall and in the gallery. Nearly every seat was taken. Coffee and currant-bread " and butter in abundance "were served, and every one partook most heartily. Every now and then there was a speech from some clergyman, layman or missionary, when people would pause and give their attention. The gentlemen, if they were so inclined, would quietly smoke, and the ladies as quietly knit. It would take an Englishman, or an American, some time to accustom himself to these decidedly Teutonic usages. It is rather startling at least at a religious gathering, to see a dignified ecclesiastic take out his cigar and commence leisurely to puff away at it. But here they seem to think nothing at all of it, but regard it as the most natural thing in the world to �THE FRIEND, 90 do. And on Sundays, at one or two gatherings, it was just the same. But you will understand, these were rather the social and informal gatherings, and of course never in churches. There it was quite another thing. The singing of the great congregations with the large organ, was, something very fine, and every one joined. It was almost impossible to get a seat. There were all classes of people present, but none seemed to enjoy themselves more than the bright-laced 1877. NOVEMBER, Unterbarmen, General Church Conference.

Assembly In tbe small ball of the Evangelixriety House at Barmen. uradaj, Aug. 16th, 9a. in the Church at t m. This magnificent structure. We give a description of it in the words of another ; " Cathedrals have their individual characteristics as truly as their builders. The peculiarity of this one consists in having a kind of out-work of slender columns, arches, and inclosed niches, thrown like a vail of barred muslin over the front. In some places it nearly conceals the background of cathedral wall, apd holds the eye in its entanglement of beauty. Especially when the westering sun casts the shadows'of this projected out-work upon the main wall it seems doubled, and the real wall almost hidden. When one considers that this kind of work is carried up four hundred and sixty-six feet, the light, graceful, airy effect that is produced must be confessed to be indescribable. Into this delicate tracery crashed the shells and balls of the Germans in 1870. Its effects can be imagined. You can stand in one spot and count where thirty shells struck the spire. They tore into this slender drapery; they crashed through its gorgeous windows; they smote interior columns, leaving great ugly scars that time cannot heal. One made wild music in the organ, never intended by the builder; and on the night of August 25, the roof over the vast church took fire. Streams of melted copper poured down the gutters, and spires of flame leaped up to vie with the tallest spire of stone, man has ever erected. The flames ceased only when there was nothing more to burn. Still the French maintained a post of observation in the spire, and still the Germans rained their shells upon it. The very cross on the apex was hit, and saved from falling only The general effect is aiuch less than might be expected. A careless observer might hardly notice any effect of the bombardment. The open work let the shells pass in to the solid stone and out again. You see, far up, part of a battlenrent gone, " a pillar replaced by brick-work, and some light scantling where stone ought to be. To be sure, the roof is not yet replaced, but this is hardly noticeable from the ground, as the solid arches over the church were not affected by the destruction of the roof. The building teems with workmen, and soon most of tha marks of war will be seen only by bright new stones that take the place of those in- jured. " This magnificent structure has seen many perils nnd survived them all. It has been shaken by four earthquakes, struck by lightning, and more or less thrown down nine times—has been ravaged by fire five times—endured the Jacobin fury in 1793, tearing down two hundred and thirty-seven of the statues, and proposing to treat its lofty spire as they treated the column in the Place Vendome in Paris eighty years later. But it stands in such wondrous perfection as to make one see the propriety of comparing God's spiritual work to a temple. Begun long ago, it is not yet finished—room enough for new stones ; and none of it old. " it stands where the Celts once had a Druidical forest, and .offered human victims. The Romans built on the spot a temple to Hercules and Mars. One of the statues of the former still decorates the present building. Since 510 the site has been occupied by a Christian church. About 1015, one of those spasms of sacrisTCe seized the country, and from one to two thousand men toiled at the erection of this cathedral—not for pay but for the salvation of their souls. Grander than sculptured frieze, lofty column, grand facade, and pinnacled spire, is the fact connected with nearly all these old cathedrals, that men toiled at their deep foundations, cut the hard stone into beauty, and lifted it into its place for the good of their souls, for the joy of sacrifice. It sweetens much of the taint of blood that so deeply stains those ages, " It is hard at first to reconcile one's ideas of a church with the multitude of possible and impossible animals that these old builders scattered over their structures. You may stand either on the north or south side and count, without moving, over thirty huge animals, with heads of bulls, dogs, bats, gnome, and fiends, put on the most ir*o»nceivable bodies, and projecting two or three feet, to serve as ornaments and water-spouts. Some tear their jaws open with their hands, to let the water run out; others are doubled up with a perpetual belly-ache; others, again, have such Bn evident nausea, that a stream from the mouth is the most natural thing to be expected. They gruv leer, cock their heads one side, and setfced to roar with pain day and night, century by century. Gothic seems to be the right word to apply to this style. But these old builders believed that imps thronged the churches, so they set them to service, always on the outside—made by the Jightning-rpd. They say the build- them bearers of water—set them to do menial ing wr* struck by two hundred and fifty work. But that grim humor, that ran alshells. most wild in producing quaint images, could. ' �91 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1877.curb itself to carving the holy exaltation of an angel's face, or the tender sweetness of a child's. " Something is needed for variety, where such an immense number of human statues are introduced. Eighteen equestrian statues will be needed to fill the niches on the front. A single portal has fifteen life-size statues (of from two to five figures) twenty inches high, and so admirably done that the Scripture scenes they represent are recognizable at once ; besides ninety-six figures cut in basrelief. In addition to all this statue-work, the pedestals, canopies, little animals, not over three inches long, and arabesque work, fine as a worsted thread, are too wonderful for description. Nothing short of a study should be given to these grand results of human thought and toil. All the best work, thought, feeling, and love of centuries crystallized in :'iese glorious piles. What seems but a maze of meaningless marbles at first glance, marches out as the whole story of sin, redemption, and final glory, to him who patiently lingers to study and feel. These men were earnest, and full of the sublime gospel that they put into stone. Few in those ages could read the printed page ; but written in stone, the one object that towered toward heaven, the first the sun kissed in the morning, and the last on which he smiled at night, every untaught peasant could read " that sweet story of old." And because we have learned other languages, and have other pages to read, is no reason why we should be blind to what men felt in their hearts, slowly cut into stone, and set up to endure. There is often more power to stir feeling in a stone than in a page. Each truly holds, and yet utters what feeling was put into it. The very gates nnd stones of Jerusalem were precious to God and his people. So is every stone over which a human heart has brooded, till it has been warmed into life, and made to talce the heart's meaning. How much more where millions have been builded into shapes of beauty and power." P. S. The war still goes on at the East, the Russians are winning in the main. Everythtng is quiet in this part of Europe. It is impossible now to say, what will be the political state of affairs among the Great Powers, certainly it will be very strange, if the Russo-Turkish war is concluded without the assistance or cooperation of some other nations. It remains to be seen what course F. W. Damon. things will take. Capt. Gifford, of the American whaler Young Phenix, who befriended the survivors of the wrecked British emigrant ship Strathmore in the Pacific Ocean, is to receive, through Minister Pierrepont, a gold watch from them in recognition of the service rendered. Island Tourists in Oregon. In reading the journal of the Rev. Alexander Mackintosh, as published in the Ad' vertiser of Oct. 20ih, we were forcibly reminded of a trip, which we made to Oregon and California, in 1849, over twenty-eight years ago. Sketches of our visit were published in the Friend of that year, under the title of " A Trip from the Sandwich Islands, to Lower Oregon and Upper California." It was our privilege to go, as the guest of Capt. D. Wood, commanding the U. S. Store ship Massachusetts. This was the first propeller in the Pacific, having originally been built under (he special supervision of Ericson, the inventor. She was coveying U. S. troops to Oregon, from around Cape Horn. In the October number of the Friend, for 1849, we find our notice of Portland runs as follows, and we think our readers wil be interested in the contrast as here presented between Portland, in 1849 and 1877: PORTLAND, OREGON, " Portland. —Arrived at 1849. Portland about 12 o'clock last night, May 15, in company with Judge Bryant, the newly appointed Territorial Judge and Capt. Crosby. We were rowed in a small ship's boat from Vancouver, about twenty miles, by four Indians, and having a strong current against us, our progress was slow. On waking this morning, looked out upon the rising town of Portland, situated fourteen miles above the junction of the Williamettsf with the Columbia. The town is handsomely laid out on the east side of the fiver, and is well situated, having in the rear an extensive forest and beyond that forest, at the distance of fifteen or twenty miles, a beautiful farming country. The first settlement here was made in the autumn of 1845, by Capt. Crosby and Mr. Stark, the former, master, and the latter, supercargo of the barque Toxdon. Ttteir first building was a log-store, which is now standing; between twenty and thirty buildings have since been erected, and others are in progress. Thehouse built by Capt. Crosby is an excellent dwelling house, and cost 85,000, and at the present time the premises are valued at $10,000. The buildings, including store and a dwelling house, erected by Mr. Pettegrove are substantial, and do credit to the place. The number of inhabitants in Portland is now about one hundred. The site of the town is admirably selected, being well adapted to the landing and discharging of vessels. I find but one vessel in port, the O. C. Raymond, undergoing repairs, and belonging to Capt. Crosby. This vessel is engsged in the lumber trade with California, and must be doing a good business, enabling the owner to pay the master $300, the mate $200, and the seamen $100 per month."— Rev. S. C. Damon, Friend, One of the most hearty and efficient helpers at the Clear Lake Sunday School Assembly was Dr. E. Corwin, of Jacksonville, 111. He spent a fortnight at the Lake, throwing himself with characteristic enthusiasm into the work, preaching, lecturing, and taking a leading part in the daily normal class instruction.— Exchange paper. Oct. 15, 1845. PORTLAND, OREGON, IN 1877. Portland is on both banks of the Willamette River, a tributary of tbe Columbia, and is about 105 miles from Astoria ; it has a population of about 15,000 inhabitants. A ferry boat, which runs perpetually, connects East Portland with Portland proper. The whole country within range of our vision is bounded by a densely wooded circumference. Outside this circle tho snow-capped mountains called Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams and Mt. Jepberson, lift up their lofty heads, but they are only visible now and then, owing to the dense smoke caused by the burning woods. Through the centre of tbe circle flows the river Willamette. On tho right bank Portland rises as it were in terraces, the streets forming the meridians and parallels of latitude of tffe sphere. Every block ol buildings and of building land is most regularly laid out. One has only to remember the name of the latitudinal and meridian streets, and then the way is easily lound without tbe aid of compass, sextant, chronometer or policeman. The only difficulty one finds in navigation, is th rareity of the street names being posted upon tbe walls—but this no doubt is little felt by the citizens. Very few of tbe old residents seem to know the Btreets by tbeir names. People are directed by tbe presence or absence of a church, or of some government building. Front Street lies along the bank of tbe River Willamette, and goes from one end of the town to the other. In this street are situated all the principal wholesale business bouses, among which a resident of Honolulu can recognize some familiar names. Corbitt and Macleay, Allen and Lewis, McCrukcn & Co. tfUawmian Consul.) Jiinian & Co. The traffic busy street is ceaseless; it would astonish our quiet Honolulu merchants. They would, I should think, imagine that it was perpetually steamer day, and even this thought would give them but faint idea ol the business. In fact, there in very little difference between this street and also the next, which is called First Street, and any Thames Street, Blackwall, Lime St. or Broadway in tbe world. To give just one c»» ample of trade which I accidentally learned—tl c average number of eggs per week which aie brought into tbe wholesale house from tbe country is twenty thousand dozen, and not unfitquently the number daily is live thousand dozen ; not that this firm is solely in the egg line, seeing that in one year, the samo firm shipped to foreign parts eighteen cargoes of wheat valued at one million and a half dollars gold, and the money turned over in one year by this said firm was two and three-quarter millions of dollars. Throughout the length of Front Street can are constantly moving up and down. In First Street are the principal retail stores, and these are truly magnificent. However, there is not much difference between the merchandize, sold in these grand buildings and that in Honolulu either in force or quality. Then the public buildings, tbe Banks, the Custom House, tbe Post Office, tbe Prison are all of beautiful stone. There are lour banks: The British Columbia; Ladd and Tilton; First National Gold Bank; and the Oregon Saving's Bank—the last named deriving the stock principally from Scotland. Second and Third Streets, together with the streets wbieb intersect them, are taken up with stores, both wholesale and retail. Along Fourth Street runs tbe Railway wbicb extends about thirty miles into tbe country, as far as Grove. From tbis street until the town rises Into tbe hills, tbe streets are paved with wood, the sidewalks being also of wood. And now begins tbe prettiest and most picturesque part of tbe town.

Although we read and re-read Mr. Cook's Lectures as published in the Boston Advertiser, yet we are exceedingly glad to welcome the same in a neatly and compactly printed volume, still damp from the printer's office. This book was printed on the last days of September, and we received a copy by the steamer's mnil, Oct. 18th, hence our readers* may infer that Honolulu is ftot very far away from Boston, the " Hub of the Universe." There is something exceedingly fresh and about the Lectures of Mr. Cook, inded '• to present the results of the freshest rnian, English nnd American scholarship on the most important and difficult topics concerning the relation of Religion and Science." Mr. Cook advances into the arena of discussion without apology and takes his stand beside Huxley, Tyndall, Darwin and the great army of doubters and sceptics, and says : " Come, now, let us reason together." He asks no favors, buAH ready to give and take as hard blows ns»sß nature of the discussion demands. We are glad there is one youthful David, with " sling and smooth stones," who fears not the Giants who have been stalking about frightening timid believers in Divine RevelaTion, Miracles, God and Immortality. The time has come when Christian Philosophers and Divines have no business to skulk and apologize ! It is equally refreshing to con- tezy template George Muller,—physically, mentally and spiritually—grandly endowed,— step upon the shores of America and declare : During fifty-two years I have known the Lord Jesus Christ, whenever I have believed, I have received. During the past fifty-two years I have received a thousand, yes, ten thousand answers to my prayers." Such declarations are truly Pauline : "I know in whom I have believed." We regard Muller, Cook and Moody as three great and mighty forces now operating upon the American mind and the world's spiritual agencies. A better time is coming, although the conflict will be sharp and fierce, even as that now witnessed on the bloody battle-field of Bulgaria and around Plevna. Victory is inscribed upon the Banner of Truth. Mr. Cook has already commenced another course of Lectures, and they will appear first in the Boston Advertiser and will be extensively copied in other papers. We commend them to the attention of our " readers. We would acknowledge papers for gratuitous distribution from Judge Judd and Mrs. Dickson. Also, from Mr. W. Wright, of Koloa, a valuable donation of books. NOVEMBER, 1877. H. M. Whitney, Esq.—The onward march A Man of One Idea. of improvement is removing certain old This man is the Rev.

To render intelligible an extract from a letter recently received from a correspondent in Liverpool, we republish the following item from our May number: Captain Cook's Vessel.—That the Brotherly Love, the vessel on board of which the great circumnavigator, and discoverer of New South Wales and Victoria, Captain Cook, served his time and obtained his certificate as mate, should be at this time, after the lapse of upwards of a century, going on her accustomed voyages, must appear wonderful to every one—but peculiarly interesting to the colonists of the continent whose unbounded resources, through Cook's scientific genius, were opened to the world. Yet, there is the fact, that only the other day, this fine old vessel, amidst the admiration of numbers who-witnessed her departure, left South Shields for one of the ports on the Baltic. With the exception of Nelson's ship, the Victory, there surely cannot be any vessel afloat of such historic interest. This grand old hulk ought, if not preserved as a great maritime relic by the British nation, to be floating in the New World, in the beautiful harbor of Port Jackson, at Sydney. Sydney Herald. — NOVEMBER. " 1 am no stranger to your excellent paper the Friend, which, through the kindness ot my friend Mr. Geo. Legge of Messrs. Balfour tt Williamson's Home, I generally get a look at every month. In a recent issue you give an extract from a Sydney paper regarding the ship Brotherly Love, rendered notable as being the vessel in which the famous Captain Cook learned his first rudiments of seamanship. Feeling interested in that statement, I wrote to the owner of the Brotherly Love, and sent him your paper, which he read with much satisfaction and returned, accompanied with a pleasant letter and a photograph of the good old ship. She stands in Lloyd's book thus: 'Jirotherly Love, bjig of Shields, built in Ipswich, 1764, 1214 tons; owner, James Young, South Shields.' 1 have much pleasure in enclosing the picture and a copy of Mr. Young's letter; they may prove interesting to some in your far away isle of the sea. The Sydney paper says something about the propriety of having the Brotherly Lore, sent out to Australia as a memento of Captain Cook. How would it do, after having spent her 113 years in their stormy latitudes to have her sailing in Hawaiian waters? Surely the place where the gallant navigator met with his untimely death, (permit me to repent the words of his excellent first lieutenant, King, on finishing his account of the tragedy— ' Thus perished our great, our honored commander'!) would be more in keeping with his memory than any spot in Australia. * * # # # " I send you a copy of the letter from Jas. owner of the Brotherly Love: Young, Esq., " ' Dear sir: lam much obliged by your sending me the Honolulu paper for perusal. The old ship still goes on her way rejoicing, in good order. Her qualities as a sea boat we may expect has saved her weathering many a storm. The only fear at sea with her is being run down by S. S. (screw ajaamers).' Martin .Robinson. ' "Yours, Sec., "6 Hope Place, Liverpool, Aug. 30, 1877." N.

DOLE. ■ Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." The law of Christ is love. "A new commandment I give you that ye love one another." " I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." Now the Lord Jesus, our great high priest, can and does sympathize in our infirmities. Sympathize is the very word used in the Greek. (Heb. 4:15). Peter exhorts, " Be ye all of otic mind, nym- 1877. pathizing one with another." (1 Pet. 3:8). When love is in exercise in the htorts of Christians, when every succeeding day brings a new experience of the faithfulness and loving kindness of their heavenly Father, and every succeeding night marks an advance in the pilgrimage towards the celestial city, then sympathy is easy. Then they that fear the Lord speuk often one to another. Then with the Psalmist, they delight to make the praise of their heavenly Father glorious, and to tell what he has done for their souls. (Ps. 66 : 2 and 16). Then with tender sympathy they find out the discouragements and perplexities, the conflicts and the triumphs, the sorrows and the joys of fellow pilgrims and strengthen them with kind words, rejoicing wilh them lhat rejoice and sharing the sorrows of the sorrowful. Thus do they bear one another's burden. But in seasons of declension, when worldliness invades the church, and the love of many waxes cold, and church members, speaking out of the abundance of the heart, cease to speak of heavenly things, and their prayers lose their fervency, and the word of Cod is no longer their study and meditation, and salvation seems of little importance, ilicn is Christian sympathy well nigh extinct. Young disciples are left to get along as best they may. If any of them are prisoners in doubting castle, no one knows it. Consequently there is no one to point them to the key of promise, by which they may unfasten the locks and make their escape. If any of them become discouraged through many temptations, there is no one to find it out, and to point them to the Lord Jesus, who was in like manner tempted, who tenderly sympathizes with all his tempted followers, and who succors all who apply to him. In this state of things it is not to-be expected that efforts will be made to win to Christ those who are without hope and without God in the world. There are none to say to those in the broad way as Moses said to his father-in-law, " Come with us, and we will do you good; fo»the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel." Does this language apply to the people of Honolulu ? A young merchant came to town, took a seat in one of the churches, and there he appeared regularly Sabbath after Sabbath for months, yet during all this time, no one bid him welcome; no one enquired after his spiritual condition. Was it strange that the conviction forced itself upon his mind that no one cared for his soul? To be able to exercise Christian sympathy one must be in sympathy with the Lord Jesus; must feel his constraining love, and to that influence. He that loves the ord Jesus will love his image wherever it is discovered; and more than this, he will love those whom the Lord Jesus loves, and for whom he died. This is Christian sympathy, and it is not a latent power. It manifests itself in kind words and in self-denying works. It is the spirit of Christ acted out; " and if any one have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Lield �FRIEND, TO THE PUBLIC! AaPy-BRTISBsMsBMrTB. . M.

And before each step of my onward path He causes new scenes to rise; And each Joy that he sends me, comes As a glad and sweet surprise. I see not a step before me, As I tread out the days of the year, Bui.the past Is still in God's keeping, The futurehia mercy will clear; And what seems dark In the distance* May brighten as 1 draw near. For, perchance, the dreadful future Has less bitter than I think; The Lord may sweeten the waters Before I stoop to drink; Or If Marah must be Maralt, He will stand beside its brink. • It may be, he has waiting For the coming of my feet, Borne gift of such rare blessedness, Borne joy so strangely sweet. That my lips can only tremble With tbe thanks I cannot speak. Oh, blissful, peaceful ignorance. It's blessed not to know; It keeps me quiet In those arms Which will not let me go; And hushes my soul to rest On the bosom which loves me so. So I go on, not knowing— I would not if I might— I would rather walk with God in the dark Thanwalk alone In the light; I would rather walk with him by faith Than walk alone by sight. My heart shrinks back from trials Which tbe futuremay disclose; Yet I never had a sorrow But what the dear Lord chose; 80 I press back the coming tears. With the whispered words, "He knows." [Selected for the Friend.] Prayer. There is no real harm, but prayer will aid us to escape. There is no real good, but prayer will aid us to secure. There is no' burden in life, that prayer will not bring us new strength to bear. There is no temptation that ever assails us, but prayer will give us new power to resist. Prayer aids us in our perplexities, and gives us strength to rise above depression. There is no dark cloud lowering over the future, but prayer will enable us to look above and beyond it. Christian experience in all ages of the world testifies like the voice of many waters, that prayer intensifies every blessing and lightens every burden; it scatters our fears and transfigures our sorrows ; it invigorates in us all that is good, and weakens whatever is bad ; it helps to understand ourselves and God, and to live in joyous peace with both and in jubilant readiness for Heaven.— Congregationalist.

What is God ? men asked. The Stoics answered and said : God is the impersonal soul of the universe. God is everything, and everything is God. Matter is divine. The soul is but more etheral matter. Stones and mountains, trees and animals, men and women are but manifestations of the diety. The universe itself is only a period in the development of God. All things are as they are by inseperable necessity. Storms must blow on until they exhaust themselves, and if you are caught in them there can be nothing for you but to take your chance. The only support for life is a granite will. Indifference is religion. Pleasure is no good ; pain is no evil. The noblest man is he who dwells apart, in sublime apathy, unmoved by any change, unstirred by any passion t asking no assistance, wasting no sympathy, gazing from an iron earth toward a brazen . heaven. 1 have seen another picture. It is called Christus Consolator. Christ is seated on a throne. He is Lord of all. Before him are gathered the outcast and. miserable of the world. The aged man bent beneath the burden of a century, the sick man wasting with slow disease, the slave lifting hands heavy with chains, the mother weeping above her dead babe—all these are there ; and over all the Savior's hands are lifted and he is speaking heed and care and help for all. It is such a God men need—the God made maifest in Jesus Christ. Prayer into his heart is mightily real. There is shining hope amid the densest darkness since God is such a God. t In the States, especially in New England, the Y. M. C. Associations are accustomed to make, occasionally, a thorough canvass of of the more thickly populated districs with a view to arouse religious interest amongst all classes.

We really have no space left for moral reflections on the closing of the year or the flight of time. As we have furnished our subscribers with twelve numbers of our paper, in order that we may pay our printer and discharge all liabilities incurred in its publication, we trust our subscribers and friends will see the importance of making prompt payment when their bills are presented. If any error or mistake appears, the same will be rectified by making it known to the publisher. —As we have not received our usual donations from the whaling fleet, we hope persons favorably disposed to the publication and .gratuitous distribution of the Friend will not forget that five hundred copies of each number are distributed gratuitously. Donations thankfully received. For several months we have been expecting that some of our English residents would take the initiative for a centennial celebration, if the government officials did not move in the matter. It really seems quite too bad, too unpatriotic, too stupid,—to allow so good an opportunity to pass without a respectable demonstration. Less than two months remain,—for January 18th, 1778, is the day when Cook is reported to have discovered these islands. Who will move in this matter? To compare great things with small, the ISth of January is also memorable for another event of minor importance. On the ISth of January, 1843, thirty-five years ago, the first number of the Frienp made its appearance, and has continued its monthly reappearance ever since. Me. Aseu, one of the Chinese merchants of Honolulu, on his voyage to China via San Francisco and Japan, reports under dote of September 17th the following persons as his fellow passengers, on board the City of Peking, from San Francisco to Yokohama: From the American Board for Japan: Key.

Dear Friend.—The French, you know, say, " gui s'excuse s'accuse," so that perhaps it will be wiser for me not to attempt any line of defense for my meagre cpistolatory correspondence this summer but creep instead under the folds of your broad mantle of charity, finding balm for my conscience in the thought that you have found something far better than my rambling and random sketches for your columns. I am afraid that something of the " dolce far niente " of midsummer days must have had its effect upon me, for how otherwise could I have delayed telling you of my drifting from among Swiss scenes, and the presence of its snowy uplands and blue lakes, to this fair and fertile region which cradles the Rhine? And what a summer this has been for this world of ours, which seems *o find wars and rumors of wars its perpetual heritage ! With you, though a little nearer the scene of action, we have been watching the sad, bloody conflict which darkens all the eastern horizon and which seems to grow darker and more bloody as the summer gives place to autumn, and the first frost and chill in the air hint at the added Wretchedness and anguish which must come to those on the wild, bleak battle-fields, unless peace comes with the early snows Then too, how wanly and beseechingly have all those countless famine-stricken faces in India been looking to us out of their dreadful and terrible need ! And it is a pleasure to see how nobly hearts, both in England and the Continent, have been touched by this human agony. We are watching with intenstest interest to see whether them is anything to come of that thunder-cloud which seems to have been gathering over Our next-door neighbors, the French, who are craving far a new sensation and revolution! Perhaps however the political tempest will vanish as the heat and muttering thunder from our autumn skies. What a superb tribute the French paid to the memory of the veteran Theirs, the other day. Rarely does such a tremendous throng follow a man to his tomb. A troublesome and annoying state of affairs also the American people have been meeting with, in their riots and strikes, which I trust have now been quietly adjusted. But really it is hardly my province in yoqr columns, �98 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, to enter into the politics and troubles of the and one earth at laige, and in leaving them I most them to additions to modern travel permit leave at all.

This wonderful Strasbourg spire! What pigmies seem the men and women below! You feel indeed 'twixt heaven and earth, and yet far above this tower where we are standing there are heights which we have not gained. The round red sun is too near its dipping in the hazy west for us to try them to-night. There is a terrible fascination about the downward look, down, down, down ! And there is only this little stone parapet between us and the fearful leap! Something of the same indescribable spirit which leads you on to the brink at Miagara, and draws you towards its gulfs of snowy foam and shattered rainbows, or holds you spell-bound on the near edge of the fiery, terrible surge of our Kilauea, keeps you here. Would the stone apostles, the winged angels or Gothic sculptures reach out helping hands in the whirling, murderous fall ? One could scarcely find a more fitting spot for the scene of the prologue of Longfellow's "Golaen Legend." Imagine these airy heights, wind-swept and storm-lashed, with Lucifer and his legions in their wild fury, hurrying on to their work. "Haalen! Ilaaten! ye apirita! Kium ita atatlon drag the ponderous I'm." "I ii,-n, that to mock ua li uplifted liian In air! O " But I must be on my way leaving behind the city where Goethe so long studied, where Calvin found his wife, the seat of innumerable important events in history; the capital of those fair provinces which one always thinks of now-a-days in the guise of two sad-eyed peasant girls, whose hearts are still with " la belle France," Alsace and Lorraine. BLACK FOREST. What a world of witchery there is in the very sound of the words " Black Forest." Don't they make you long for the days when you read of dwarfs and giants and spirits, good and evil, of phantom steeds and huntsmen, that some how or other seemed to find a congenial home in these woods which lie so invitingly on the horizon in the gathering, mysterious gloom of the long twilight. It would have been a pleasure to have dived into them, but one can't see every thing, and this was not in my plan just then. 1 wonder if one would be disappointed; I can't think so. There seems too genuine a fragrance in tnese old German legends and fairy stories; you can almost hear the wind in the trees, and scent the perfume of the pines and catch glimpses of cool, shadowy lakes, whose surface the stars pierce with their silver gleams, and where deer stay for a moment their hurried flight. But the train rushes on and night shuts down on the world of spirits and men as we enter Heidel- berg. HEIDELBERG. This place is charmingly situated on the river Neckar, is rich in historical associations, and is attractive to the tourist, chiefly from its university and its castle, which is certainly a roost imposing and magnificent ruin. With the matins of the birds and the early morning walk to the glorious ivygrown pile, which stands still as a sentinel above the city, faithful to its mediaeval .trust—though scared ap4 maimed—came one of those deljght,fuj surprizes which are �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, among the rare and beautiful things of travel. Out of my limited European experience there are very few places on this side the Atlantic better worth seeing. The wings of my rather too exuberant imagination have been clipped more than once during the past few months, but here every realization and anticipation has been more than fulfilled. Some one has written of it " next to the Alhambra of Grenada, the most magnificent ruin of the middle ages." I am afraid I shall never see the Alhambra, or hear the murmur of its fountains, except through the medium of Irving's splendid descriptions, but I shall never, never forget the glory of the old " Heidelberg Schloss," its ruin but adding to its perfect beauty, the remembrance of which, will, I trust, live in my thoughts and heart as greenly as does the ivy on its walls. The castle is situated on a wooded height just above the town, and is centuries old. One elector after another added to it, till it acquired huge dimensions. Long ago, the French General Melac had it blown up. And in 1764 the lightning came to complete the ruin. It would seem as if some curse had rested on its battlements. It would scarcely be possible for me in the compass of this letter to attempt a description of it, and I feel as if 1 should be wholly inadequate to do this as it should be done. The immensity of it at first confused me, as I came out of the narrow foot-path which I had followed up to the avenue which runs in its rear, and wandered about at my own sweet will. This led me under the leafysculptured portal or gateway which the elector Frederick Y. caused to be erected in honor of his English wife, the Princess Elizabeth, and into the tree-shadowed garden beyond, the very perfection of a place for dreaming and love-making, then into the great castle-court and over its heavy drawbridge and under its raised port-cullis, and through its huge and massive gateway. Every step of the way has its peculiar charm, and we would slay the sun in his coursa if we could. Before us is the paved and glistening court. How the horses' hoofs must have rung on it, in the brave old days ! There is the Muprechtn-Bau, and there the granite columns from Ingelheim with their memories of Charlemagne, and there the Friedrichs-Bau and there—but what signify names in the presence of all this color and warmth and beauty? Just see how splendidly the golden sunshine illumines the facades of the palaces which face and encircle us and warm the sculptures and statues in their niches, and seems to find a sort of companionship in their rich and varied adornments. This is a terrestrial paradise for painters. I met one, whose Scottish birth had not checked his artistic spirit, and who was, as perhaps some of his stern countrymen might say, well nigh daft in the midst of all this beauty. For the instant, the dullest and most unimpressible of travellers must feel something of the throb of the poet in him at sight of the Tower which the French so cruelly blasted. It was a wickedly mean thing of them to do, but have we not on the whole gained by it ? It stands like some great stone giant, shorn of his strength! Down" in the ravine below fell huge gigantic masses, and the trees and things leaped up to hide their nakedness. They have crept up its sides, softening, embossing with their tangled and verdant growth its crumbling arches, even penetrating to' its stony heart and in its broken and shattered old age, giving it a tenderness and beauty, which its proud and haughty youth never possessed. One needs an Ariadne in this labyrinth, or her silken-clue! Room after room open before you ; long winding passages ; banqueting halls, whose only frescoes are those of the drifting clouds and silver stars on the heavens above them ; under ground passages where waves of ferns and mosses and trailing vines have swept in with the years. Then up to the battlements where the only pennants that wave in the summer air are those which the kindly hand of nature has unfurled, a symbol of the infinite peace which seems to brood over these walls. There are the chapel, the museum with a thousand interesting relics, and after all this splendid vision which is almost intoxicating in its poetry and beauty, it is well to come down to the earth again and visit the cellar and its famous "Tun," for the people who lived in this enchanted palace were of the earth, earthly. Can you imagine 49,000 gallons of wine ? Then 1877. 99 now absent on a tour to Hawaii and Maui. On his return, he hopes to spend some days in Honolulu. Something may be gathered of the efficiency of the Order from the following extracts from a circular published by the Order: " The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars of the State of California, euborilitmte to the Right Worthy Grand Lodge, 1. O. G. T., wan instituted May 29th, 1860, and com- prised at that time eleven subordinate lodges, holding a membership of less than five hundred. Since then by the employment of competent lecturer", printing temperance literature, and other available means, the principles of the Order have extended and been generally embraced, until now the subordinate lodgea within this State oxoeed two hundred in number, and ten thousand in membership. Scarcely a town of importance, or a county within the Suite is without its " Lodge of Good Templars." The Grand Lodge of California has special jurisdiction also over the State of Nevada, and (he Territories of Utah and Arizona, as also the Sandwich Islands, in each of which Lodges of the Order have been established and are now working. JUVENILE TEMPLARS. This is a juvenile institution recently formed lor the benefit of the children of our land, and is directly under the patronage of the Grand Lodge. enclose it all in a cask, which is more like some bloated monster than anything else, and you have the Tun on which everybody mounts by ladder. To obtain an idea of its size, consider its dimensions, 32 feet long, and 22 feet high, holding 800 hogsheads. The circumference around the centre is 231 feet, and the diameter of the head 22 feet. In my delight, lam keeping you very, very long over the castle, but I forget and live my visit over again. But just one moment more for a glimpse from the " Molkenkour," a height just above the castle and I am done. Heidelberg lies at our feet, with its roofs and spires and university, of whose fame you know so well, and beyond the long reach of the Neckar, " the dark green Eden world," the low-lying lands which border on the Rhine, fertile fields, and distant forests, a very quiet beautiful scene. But the morning sun is hurrying on and we must say " good-bye " to the sunny gardens and terraces where the good people of Heidelberg love to come for their beer and music ; and out from the spacious balcony, down a cool and sloping path, into the busy life of travel again. And yet not just as before, for I have left my heart somewhere in your green fastnesses, dear old castle on the banks of the Neckar, and ever more, at mention of your name shall breathe a prayer that you may speak messages of beauty and tenderness td those who shall come after, as you did to me (hat rare morning in June ! Fourteen years ago the Grand Lodge, feeling the necoeasity of a representation in the newspaper world, founded and adopted as its official organ The Weekly Organ. THE GOOD TEMPLARS' HOME FOR ORPHANS. In 1869 a capacious and elegant structure was erected near Vallejo, in Solano County, and in October, 1870,it was dedicated and opeod under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, and entitled the Templars' Home for Orphans." Its title "is Good not meant to convey any idea of delusiveness as to the class admitted to its sheltering offices. On the contrary it is open to all; the only passport required at its portals is to be a homeless orphan child. Children under fourteen years of age are recived and cared for, and over seventy orphaned children are now being cared for within its walls. The buildings are sightly, capacious aud pleasantly located. The Home is under the management of a Board of Trustees, and loard of Lady Managers—the former comprising nine gentlemen of the Order, who have charge of the buildings, grounds, (30 aorea), and financial matters, while the Board of Lady Managers is composed of eight prominent lady members of the Order, selected from various portions of theState, and has charge of the internal and domestic relations of the institution. Within tbe Home a graded school, under the " Publio School System " ol the State, is taught by two competent teachers. Upwards of $10,000 has been expended in the erection, care and maintenance of this institution. The Good Templars of this jurisdiction have accepted the soil-imposed duty of sustaining this Hoine'' gratefully, and the membership is linked together in Its support with unfaltering devotion. The Rev. George Morris.—We are happy to welcome, as a fellow laborer and gospel minister, this gentleman from California. He is the Pastor of a Congregational Church, in South Vallejo, but comes as Agent and Representative of the Good Templars of California. He was formerly a missionary of the London Missionary Society at Tahiti. On his arrival, he preached at shrubbery and thousand green and living the Bethel and Fort Street Churches, but is The cause of temperance has tbus been promoted by all available and honorable means—by an organised association of men and women within tbe Lodge, and the youth and children within tbe Temples. By tbe education of all through tbe press, and from tbe platform and pulpit, and by tenderly caring for tbe children bereft of parents and natural guardians through tbe use of intoxicating drinks and concomitant crime. Thus do we claim ours to be tbe most powerful and complete temperance institution ever organised.

We do not give him : credit for believing what he stated to the reporter of the Democrat, and if he did believe it, and went away from the islands with such a ridiculous and absurd impression, then it does not speak very well for his good sense. The idea that missionaries have become " wealthy " from the sale of Bibles " " and " tithes," and that they are opposed to any " white immigration " is so absolutely absurd, that for a man of Mr. Gable's standing as a "city-father" of Santa Kosa, to believe appears ridiculous. Furthermore for any newspaper to print such foolish nonsense is equally ridiculous. Until Californians have reformed their Hoodlums and refrained from abusing Chinamen, we think they might as well refrain from publishing false and ridiculous reports about our islands. New Zealand Correspondence. Auckland, N. Z., Oct. 22d, 18T7. Editor of the Friend :—I see by your last to hand, by the R. iM. S. S. Zealandia, that you have some notice of a letter written by H. B. Sterndale.and published in the Weekly News of June 2d. You also expressed a wish to have the preceding letters. By the mail leaving here by the City of New York, I send you six papers which contains the whole of the letters and trust that you will receive them safely. By what you say in your notice quoted above a short sketch of Sterndale may not prove uninteresting to you, so I give you all I know of him. He is a short, spare man, very dark and wears a most piratical look, dress and all. He has been for years sailing and residing amongst the Pacific Islands, and has sailed with the " Bully Hayes," of whom he always speaks very highly. He resided on the Island of Suwarrow for some years and claims it as his own property under the'following circumstances : The island was taken possession of by a company formed in Melbourne, who got a title for it from the British Admiralty, and they used it as a trading station for the production of copra and other island produce. There was reports of enormous treasures being buried on the island in the very early days by the " Wild Rovers," who frequented the Pacific, and they prospected for that as well. Sterndale was the manager of the company, and he resided on the island. After working at it for some considerable period, the company got into difficulties and found they could not pay what they owed Sterndale for wages and monies he had expended, and they ceded him the island in payment, and I understand that he got everything arranged with the British Admiralty to acknowledge him as the owner of Suwarrow. After knocking about the islands he came to this place and entered into a partnership with a mercantile linn (Henderson & Mac- �THE FRIEND, farlune) to work the island, and left with a vessel and crew to commence operations. Henderson & Macfarlane sending another vessel down to procure labor from other islands. Things went on smoothly for a time when a quarrel ensued and Sterndale and his wife were made " prisoners of war," by Henderson & Macfarlane's people, and .sent here. Sterndale was to be tried for attempting to murder the Captain of one of but the magistrates here refused to hear the case as they had no jurisdiction. Henderson & Macfarlane then commenced an action against him civilly to compel him to render an account of his receipts and expenditure, and whilst that was going on, a number of persons who were or had been connected with him amongst the islands raised money to buy and equip a vessel for the purpose of going down and taking forcible possession of the island. Henderson & Macfarlane to prevent Sterndale going had him arrested for debt and he was put into Limbo, where he remained until the vessel had gone, and he at once commenced action against Henderson & Macfarlane for (alse imprisonment. The firm got into difficulties, 1 believe, and to prevent himself coming under the composition with the other creditors, as he would have to do, Sterndale leaves the Colony and the action is at once quashed. It is stated that Sterndale has gone to London to get his papers proving the island to be his, which are in the hands of the British Admiralty, so he says, and will commence action against Henderson & Macfarlane on his return. You express some surprise that he has not mentioned the good the missionaries have done at the different islands, but you will not do so when I tell you that he in common with a great many more of his kind hate and detest these brave men who bring the savage out of the darkness in which he is. When the missionaries begin teaching the blacks, these men generally move further away from civilization, as their deeds would probably not bear the light of day. We here in Auckland, have great respect for men who leave home, friends and every comfort to go out amongst savages and face death in its most horrid shapes for the purpose of shedding the light of God's gospel over the souls of the poor natives of the Pacific and other islands. Severel gentlemen born here have gone out as missionaries. Notably the Rev. Mr. Atkins, who was murdered with the good Bishop Patterson, of Milenesia, and the Rev. Geo. Browne, who inaugurated the mission to New Guinea. •» Death of an Early Convert. •• DECEMBER, recorded in the case of a venerable native Hawaiian woman, who departed this life on Nov. 27th, at Nuuanu Valley. Her name was Julia Kealoha ; she had been a widow for tbe last twentyseven years, and she is supposed to have been in the eightieth year of her age at the time of her demise. She was born at Hamakua, on tbe Island of Hawaii, in the year IT'JB, as far as the date can bo ascertained. When thirty years of age, she became a member of the Mission Church of Laliaina, only a few years aftor the arrival of the first christian missionaries at these Islands. During half a century she continued a worthy member or the church ; and she had the special privilege to be engaged for one half of her long life-time, in the same missionary family, that of the |Key. 1). Baldwin. Her love of prayer and her exemplary conduct edified all those who knew her, and lor this reason she was greatly beloved by her pious Hawaiian brethren and sisters. During the whole course of fifty years, from her first admission to church-membership down to her dying hour, never was there beard even one word of accusation or suspicion against her spotless christian reputation. Her death was like her life, holy and peaceful. She has gone to receive her eternal reward with the hope of a true Christian and a good and faithful servant of the Lord. To firm believers in the religion of tbe Christ, it must be both edifying and consoling to read the simple narrative of the earthly career of this poor old Hawaiian woman, a contemporary of the great pagan conqueror Kamehameha, and an eye-witness of tbe arrival of the first Christian Missionaries upon those then heathen shores, who occupied for fifty years tbe very holiest place in the fold of the Church, unnoticed by the multitude blindly bent upon worldly vanities, while she sought alone to lay up treasures incorruptible and eternal. Her edifying life and holy end may well claim a serious thought even from the most frivolous and worldly-minded, and it is a pleasing duty for us to record this bright example of a truly christian and virtuous life—however lowly—amongst the converted women of the once pagan and benighted Hawaii nei. There are but few left of her sort. She "Clung to her faith—'twaa higher than the thought — Thul tiuealioiH.fl other faith." P. C. Advertiser, Dec. 1. Rev. George Prichard.—This English missionary, formerly residing at Tahiti, we arc gratified to learn, is still living and able to preach. Our informant, Mr. Arundel, says that Mr. Prichard now preaches twice and sometimes thrice upon the Sabbath, be- ing vigorous and hale at the age of four score and more. Mr. Prichard will be remembered as having officiated as British Consul at the Society Islands, at the period of the French troubles, about forty years ago. We would acknowledge, from Mrs. Taylor, of London, copies of Spurgeon's " Sword and Travel " lor July, August and September. From Dr. N. Allen, of Lowell, Mass., a copy of the " Sanitarian," and other publication's. From Prof. Hitchcock, of Amherst College, a copy of his " Hygiene in Amherst College." From Rev. Dr. Grammer, of Baltimore, a copy of '• The Baltimore Pulpit." Tho manifestations of divine mercy are no where more striking than in the lives of the good. When instances occur of a long lile-time of piety, closing with the humble hope of a blessed immortality,—especially when tbe departed have lived in our midst, —it may be useful to bring them to the notice of the community, for tbe edification and encouragement of tbe living. In a country like tbis, so recently redeemed from pagan benightment, all good christians must rejoice to find —Also from the following persons of this city: that there are bright examples of truo christian Mrs. Paty, papers; Castle & Cooke, books; Mrs. life to be met with amongst the native population Hillebrand and Hoy.

The soil of the larger islets is extremely fertile and of great depth.

Marines acquainted with this place (of which there are not many) do not hesitate to go in or out on a clear night without apprehension, as there are no hidden dangers or rocks below the surface above the level bottom, which carries 5 fathoms of water at the lowest tides.

Beyond the outer reef are no outlying dangers, either in the shape of promontories or detached rocks,' neither is there any land within 160 miles of it in any direction.

The existence of this islnnd was first reported about 50 years ago, by one Lieutenant LazarelT, a Russian, who named it after the famous Muscovite, General Suwarrow, whom Byron describes, in his " Don Juan," as conducting the siege of Ismael. Lazareff landed upon it, but, by his own account, found no living creatures save only birds, crabs, and rats. He does not appear to have found any entrance, for he makes no mention thereof, neither to have noticed any cocoa palms, although there must have been many in existence at the time of his visit. In fact he seems to have mistaken it for a mere bank of coral gravel, washed up by the sea, and overgrown with forest and scrub, upon which no subsistence could be found for man. islet, and the form and bearings of the tree, which leaned over to the eastward in a peculiar manner. None of the coin was of this century : some of it was very old and black, and of a date coincident with the era of Commodore Anson. The finder possessed still further information (which he imparted to me very minutely) of other similar but more valuable deposits, but fate did not afford him an opportunity to profit by his knowledge, for he died uyon the island of Manihiki, where he went to visit his wife, very shortly thereofter. The stripping and burning of the wreck having been completed, the Caroline Hort, the vessel employed on that service, took her departure, and the island was left to its primeval solitude. A. 1,.

Rowland, of Philadelphia, who respectively addressed the sessions on the topics appointed for consideration. Among these topics were the following: The Power of Personal Effort; Association Work in Colleges ; Christian Workers—the qualifications necessary to success ; Present condition of Associations in the State ; and Bible Instructions in the Light of Science. The latter theme was expounded by Prof. Townsend who made this point among others : " The teacher must be prepared to answer the honest doubts of inquirers who find in this scientigc theories of Darwin Huxley and other modern investigators' stumbling blocks to their faith. Instead of inaktng the sweeping statement that Darwinism and like theories are atheism the teacher should show what is true, that these modern scientists have a profound reverence for God and that there are numbers of devout Christians who are Evolutionists and who look on Evolution as God's method in creation. The result would be a new and strengthened faith in the truth of the Scriptures. So with respect to other questions of science, the brightest intellects will not accept for an answer to their queries a sweeping condemnation of these theories." Mr. Cook in his address upon Christian association work in its relations to and claims upon the Church was effective as usual, commending tbe associations in the strongest terms, and arguing that the day was past when any justification of their existence was called for. To the Young Men's Christian Association idea he accordded the revival movements of the past year. Incidental to the regular meetings of the Convention were the usual devotional exercices, including an open air. meeting on the common, on Wednesday evening, at half-past six, and a "gospel meeting" later in the Hall. The attendance throughout the two days was excellent, including two hundred and forty-five delegates. The hospitality of the Natick brathren was generous; and a generally good time was enjoyed. Among the resolutions passed was one inviting Moody and Sankey to continue their work the present winter.— Congregation- Y. M. C. A. Notes.

At a recent Y. M. C. A Convention at Cambridge, Vt., it was stated by the held Sec- retary of the State Executive Committeee, that during the past year, sixty-nine places were visited ; among them, four where there were no churches, and ninety-nine gospel meetings were held. Thirty-six of the churches report eight hundred and thirty-five conversions ; thirty-five report an aggregate of three hundred and ninety-nine additions. The State is divided into four districts and each district is in charge of a srcretary. There is also a general secretary for the State. At a recent reunion.of the Y. M. C. A.of Bordeaux, France, the very zealous and efficient General Secretary bade the Association farewell to enter the evangelical ministry, to which he goes with many prayers. The Y. M. C. A.of Binghampton, N. V., holds a gospel meeting every Sunday afternoon at five o'clock at the Erie depot for railroad men. At the same time a Bible class is held at the rooms, preceded by a service of song. On Sunday morning a prayer and praise meeting is held especially for young men. A series of interesting meetings have been held the past season under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.of Providence, R. I. Mr, E. D. Ingersoll, the agent of the executive committee railroad men, held meetings recently at Providence in behalf of this class. It is probable that steps will be taken to organize a railroad branch. The revision of the Bible now in progress is being conducted in such a conservative spirit that ninety-five per cent, of fIR people will not know the new Bible from the present revision. Among the changes that have been agreed upon are the following: The fourth verse of John v. will be excluded; the passage in John i. concerning the three heavenly witnesses will be omitted; straining at a gnat" will be translated " straining a gnat."

If space allowed, we should indulge in remarks naturally suggested by the returning of Christmas and New Year's, but especially by the ending of the first century since the Hawaiian Islands were introduced to the civilized world by their renowned discoverer, Captain Cook. Most sincerely do we regret that our English fellow residents have not made their arrangements for a grand centennial celebration. It is a date (January ISth, 1778) which forms a most memorable event in the history of the Hawaiian Islands. We have only to go back in imagination one century, and we find our islands as unknown to the civilized world as the territory on some unknown planet. On our part, as publisher and editor of the "oldest paper in the Pacific," the best contribution we can make to the occasion is our Chronological Table. The late editor of the Gazette, Dr. Rogers, publishes his valedictory in the issue of the 26th ult. Although he has wielded the editorial pen but a few weeks, yet he has certainly conducted the paper with marked ability, and we regret his retirement from the Gazette. Any party prepared to furnish a pair of native Hawaiian geese, for shipment to the United States, will please communicate with the editor.

The winter is really coming. Crisp, brilliant days and radiantly tinted forests are crowning the year. The hail is even now rattling at the window. Last week I made a little excursion on the Rhine banks, doing some pedestrianism, now and then, going as far as Coblentz, and visiting the palace of the Empress. 1 have a great deal to tell yet about all the fine things that 1 saw, but 1 must defer them until another month. In this my second visit to Bonn, I had a very pleasant, interview with Prof. Christlieb in his pleasant home on the Grunerweg. He is a fine looking man, with a strong intense face, a noble head crowned with dark hair turning slightly grey. His face and figure are hardly German, seeming more delicate and nervous. His English is perfect, and he makes himself most agreeable to his listener. Here in Bonn he is exceedingly popular as a lecturer and preacher, and is one of the ablest professors in the large Faculty, acting this year as the Dean of the great University. His cordiality and friendliness were most marked. A son of Mrs. H. B. Stowe has been studying here. 1 like Bonn exceedingly in some respects. Tbere ia a very decidedly literary tone about it. But I want to tell you about a little visit I made at Neuwied last week where two tons of Mr. L, of Honolulu, are in School. It lay right on my way, and 1 had a sort of yearning to see the two little fellows so far away from home, and very glad am I. that I went. It did us all good to say—Aloha. Neuwied is a pretty little village on the banks of tbe Rhine, a portion of whose inhabitants are Moravians. There are two large schools here,—one for boys and one for girls, under the care of the brothers and sisters. The boy's school is in a splendid large building, with fine play-grounds, and is, I should judge, very well conducted. I saw the Director, a very pleasant gentleman, wbo was kind and obliging. The boys knew me immediately, and we spent pert ola day together. They tell roe, that they are happy and like it here. They are gentlemanly lit* tie fellows and seem to be doing well. But their hearts,—a good part of them are where mine is—in Honolulu. Please accept my most cordial greetings for the New Year, �til FRIEND, JAft D ART 2 which as being a year of singular historical interest to our sunny Islands, will, 1 trust, prove a fitting crown to the century it completes. But I must return to my trip down the Rhine, I think we had reached, THE LUTHER MONUMENT AT WORMS. "Tell your master," said Luther, to a messenger from Spalatin, " that though there should be as many devils in Worms as there are tiles on the roofs of the houses, I would go," and go be did, and now people come to see where this marvelous man spoke such great words as few men before or since have dared to utter; they seem to give the very town itself after this long lapse of time, a (moral) grandeur, which scarcely any other in Europe possesses. "They ring like a clarion through the years." "I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience, nor can I possibly, nor will I ever, make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience. Here Itake my stand; I cannot do otheneise. God be my help ! Amen." The old city of Worms, always interesting by reason of its associations with the Reformation, is now rendered doubly so by the splendid monument to Luther, which was erected here in 1868. It is an elaborate and interesting affair, deeply so to every student of that sublime struggle which the Monk of Erfurt headed. On a noble pedestal of granite is a superb bronze statue of Luther; in one hand a Bible, to which he points with the other; his face turned upwards, that strong; courageous face, which nothing in the Universe but the anger of God could blanch. The sunlight fell full and free upon it, as if in benediction ! The central figure is surrounded by statues Waldus, the Frenchman; Wickliffe, the Englishman; Huss, the Bohemian; and Savonarola, the Italian; all of heroic size. Many other statues, medallions and quotations from Luther go to make up the monument, which is a splendid epitome of the Reformation in Germany with suggestions of othercountries. There is a concentration of thought, a massing of grand historical facts, which is strangely impressive. It is Daubigne's " done in bronze ! The building " History ia which the famous "Diet" met in 1521, was destroyed long ago, and another edifice erected in its stead. MAYBNCE ' lay next on my route, where Gutenberg, the famous inventor of printing was born, whose statue, designed by Thorvaldsen, adorns the Every year but adds "toGutenberg-Platz." the honor of his name, either directly or indirectly as the reoent " Oaxton " celebration in England will testify. The incalculable good to which this invention has given rise, is more than enough to glorify the names of those who have been in any way connected with it. I thiuk they would be slightly surprised could they see our weekly and daily papers, which come pouring in upon us now with telegrams,— "special correspondent," letters and leaders about tbe terrible Bastern war. Mayence or German Maintz lies on the Rhine, and to a student is interesting on account of its early Roman history. I was especially interested in visiting hew the Eigelstein," an ancient mound - . 1878 of masonry erected by the Snd and 4th Legions in honor of Drusus, son-ia-law of Augustus, who was killed by a fall from his horse." Suetonius makes mention of the monument. A staircase has been placed in it, by which I ascended to tbe summit and had a view of the city in the twilight. What a long, long time it seemed back 10 the days when the Roman sentinels paced back and forth, near perhaps, where 1 was standing! It is impossible to give in a letter, and especially weeks after, those innumerable little scenes and incidents which make a visit to a city especially pleasant to a tourist. Enumeration of cathedrals, of churches, of museums become wearisome to the narrator and most certainly so to the reader. It is in those unanticipated impressions; in the accidental discovery of beauties which strike you alone, in the sensations which come wilh the sight of some object or scene which has been in name familiar to you from childhood, in the thrill sudden and delicious, that some sculptured 'marble, or radiant coloring or hushed chant, gives you, that forms the under tone of your thoughts as you are endeavoring to give another a description of your travels. You may be correct in all points of fact, but there seems such a deadness in them, a something lacking which you yearn to give and which eludes you. Goethe I think it was, who had the habit of taking little sketches of scenes which struck him particularly, and then afterwards writing from these. If there was but some subtle way by which we could chain for others those fleet intangible impressions which come to us at some memorable moments in our lives! * " AM RHEIN ; AM RHEIN." In some caves and winding valleys we read that the effects of the "echo " are surpassingly fine. That the slightest whisper is increased sometimes to a shout, that a word let fall comes back to the listening ear in a thousand mocking tones, and that a strain of music is heard long after, sweeping on from point to point, flooding the air with its melody, lingering as if unwilling ever to cease. There are subtler echoes, for ears attuned to catch their sound in every scene which has been rendered famous by great or renowned deeds, or which has been the birthplace of poetry and art. or spiritualized by the presence of joy and sorrow, of faith and devotion. One of these enchanted scenes is where the long, fair River Rhine sweeps onward to the sea. How vibrant the air seems with countless echoing voices, some so far and faint, that only those who know and love the river and its history can detect them at all, and these only in that hush which comes when the hum and murmur of the present dies away ; then there are stronger and firmer tones, rising and falling in perfect cadence, countless melodies, joyous and sombre, shouts and buglenotes and cries rent from out some far off" agony, and ripples of laughter. No other river in all tbe world can vie with it in poetic and historic association. From its early home in the bosom of tbe glacier, past its crystal leap at Schaffhausen, past ancient cities and crag-cresting feudal castles, past sunny vineslopes and white villages, does it hold its way to the bleak northern sea where it pours its warm rich tide. He who attempts to de- " . scribe the Rhine, (and who does not ?) fails in the attempt. "Todo it well one should write like a King." Dear it is, not only to the German heart, but to that greater heart, which throbs in all those, who love the beautiful. The echoes grow clearer and clearer as the steamer cuts the quiet waters. You live over the days the Germans and Goths, the Gauls and Huns played each their part on these now quiet shores. The castles are no longer in ruins ; a brave array of knights and fair ladies meets you at every bend in the river, and the sound of martial music comes floating over the water. Everybody sees the Rhine—it is one of the things to be " done," you know by English and Americans, and the former people especially are to be met on it in small armies. lam not one to shun the sound of my mother tongue in a foreign land as some travellers seem to be desirous of doing. 1 like to meet our own people, and I find that as a general thing, they are as interesting and cultivated people as one does meet. From Mayence to Cologne is a charming sail. You take from the former city the boat in the morning and you are in the latter before the dusk has commenced to creep into its cathedral. The Rhine boats are immensely comfortable, and it is easier to dream and dream under a good awning than under the fierce rays of the sun. People settle down calmly to be comfortable. Some are so prosaic as to keep little tables before them, with an/thing but little bottles on them. Some armed with opera glasses and map keep rushing from one side of the boat to the other. These as a general rule are Anglo Saxons. There are sentimental couples, and sedate couples; specimens of those "terrible children" who are always just on the point of tumbling in to this famous river and who keep their nurses and governesses, who would like a quiet moment tor the beauty of the banks, in a constantly agitated state. German gentlemen with the inevitable spectacles and German Frauleins with rosy cheeks. All bent for one day on enjoying themselves. There is a wonderfully familiar look About everything. Bingen for instance. "Fair Bingen on ihe Rhine." The poem which no body reads without a little lump in his throat, has had an immense deal to do with making the place famous. It must have seemed very fajr to the soldier dying in Algiers, fairer, perhaps, than it did to us tourists to whom Bingen was nothing more than any other city on the Rhine. Then Bishop Hatto's " Mouse Tower." It requires a lively imagination to picture the uncomfortably wicked old Bishop, whose sins brought him to such a (legendary) end in that little tower from which signals are thrown out to the passing steamer. The grand ruin of Rheinlels, the twin castles, •• The Brothers," about which tradition has woven such a sad story, taking you back to the days of the crusaders, and Stolzenfels, with the many interesting castles marked by broken arches hovering among the trees, clinging to the edge of cliffs, which rise out of the waters below, dawn one after another upon you. The river narrows, abrupt banks buried in foliage rise on either side, and all is beautiful at this moat picturesque point in this most picturesque river. We pass. �1878. 3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, ed in safety the " Lurlei"; no siren notes drew us into the fatal whirlpool with their maddening "witchery. Do you think the railway tunnel near at hand has frightened her away 1 Coblentz, proud of the embrace of the lovely Moselle and Rhine, and guarded by the frowning Ehrenbreitstein, " The Gibraltar of the Rhine," stays us in our course for a little time. The sentimental couples before alluded to find food for thought as we pass " Rolandseck," whence went forth the valiant knight Roland to win the Holy City from the infidels, happy in the love of the lovely Hildegunde, his betrothed. Rumor false, as is often the case, brings word that the brave Roland is no more and the disconsolate Hildegunde becomes the bride of heaven," and buries herself and her woe in the cloister near at hand. But fortunately or unfortunately the Rhenish chivalry had not lost Roland who returns to claim his love. But alas ! this is impossible. So he builds the castle on the height, of which now but one arch remains and upon which the " sentimentalists " are now gazing, and from this vantage ground he catches glimpses of his betrothed, passing to and fro to her devotions. But at last even this is denied him and death claims the sad nun, Hildegunde. " From that moment Roland never spoke again; one morning his sole attendant found him rigid and lifeless, his glassy eye still turned towards the convent chapel"!! !! " BONN, The birth-place of Beethoven and one of the most celebrated university towns in Germany, skirts the river, where— The castled crags of Drachenfels Frown o'er the wide and winding Rhine, Whose breast of waters broadly swells Between the banks which bear the vine; And hills all rich with bloasom'd trees. And fields which promise corn and wine, And scattered oities crowning these. Whose far-while walls along them shine, Have strew'd a scene which I could see With double joy wert thou with me." " The University buildings cover an immense space and were formerly an old Palace. The trees which front them and the beautiful grassy open space were formerly in the palace grounds. One of the most glorious avenues I ever saw of chesnuts, stretches offfrom the lower town towards the chemical laboratories, the observatory, etc. Here the son of the crown-prince of Germany, the grandson of Queen Victoria, has recently commenced his university studies. There are some eight hundred students in attendance with about a hundred professors, Professor Christlieb of whom I have spoken to you before, I think, being this year the Dean of the Faculty. Bonn has become of late years a very favorite place of residence for English people, and besides the Church of England there is also a congregation of Scotch Presbyterians. Bishop Reinkens of the old Catholic party has here his home, and here some of the meetings which have marked the progress of that movement, have taken place. The town lies on the Rhine which widens to a large river, and offin the distance loom the picturesque seven mountains But Bonn is rendered especially interesting from the fact that it was the birth-place of Beethoven, probably the greatest musician of any age, a name which any city should be proud to number on the roll of its citizens. It is a safe thing to know that you are in just the right place before you indulge in your raptures at having discovered scenes which cradled the infancy of your hero. Certainly it was not from lack of effort on my part if I failed to find where the gifted musician, who was to bring with him heavenly music and melody into a discordant world, first opened his baby eyes towards the latter part of the last century. His father was a tenorsinger to the Elector and at the time of his great son's birth is said to have been living on one of the streets which now lies hidden in the crowded heart of the city; it may have been my own stupidity but I was forced to leave without finding the house. Certainly some of the people seem to have very shadowy ideas as to the shrine I was seeking, and I thought one fellow at least spoke the truth when he said very pleasantly, " He wasn't there at the time," which may account for his ignorance. But I did have the satisfaction of nibbling a bit of sandwich in a restaurant in the Rheingasse, in a house where certainly the Beethoven family once lived. To what " base uses a great man's home may be put in time is "certainly attested by this dingy little place, where some men were wrangling in anything but a musical way over their cards. In the place " near the fine old cathedral, girdled "by trees, which have now strewn the ground with their leaves, stands the bronze statue of Beethoven which was inaugurated there not so very many years ago in the presence of the Queen of England. There are few who have not grown familiar with this powerful face in busts and engravings. It is not a winning face; there is a solitariness and sternness in it as of a man who must have Jived apart from other men, " hearing in his soul" a music which even he could not interpret to his fellow-beings. Beethoven left this city of Bonn when he was yet a young man, and he should rather hereafter be viewed, not in his relationship to any one town but rather as a sovereign in that world of harmony which knows no terrestrial boundaries. He struggled with a terrible might against the fatal doom of deafness, which while he was in the very prime of life, slowly and steadily and relentlessly shut him out from the world. It would seem almost as if it must needs be so, as if in no other way could he have fulfilled his mission. Shut out from the rush and turmoil of life, from its countless discordant cries he had now leisure to listen to those celestial melo- dies which floated unhindered, not to his human ear, but to his waiting soul. He lived not only figuratively but really much apart from men. In his long lonely walks, which no extremes of weather ever interrupted he composed within ,'he music, which on his return he committed to writing. In the library at Bonn I saw just a fragment of a score of his, a mere fragment, but interesting as coming from his hand. It does us good now and then in our enjoyment of the fruits of other men's labors to put aside the splendid lustre which hangs about their names and look into the real life which throbs and suffers and groans oftentimes under the purple and ermine of outward triumph. The songs which we sing are sometimes the groan of a broken heart, and from the lonely " of a few lives issues that " Gethsemanes and which glorifies enriches the world. We are near our journey's end. Here the boat is at the landing, the day's vision is now a memory, a-rushing and crowding, two rows of eager hackmen, and we are in the venerable city ol Cologne, in the shadow of whose cathedral we shall sleep and dream over again—" Our day on the Rhine." F. W. Damon. Michigan University. It always affords us great delight to hear trom our youth, who have left the islands for higher institutions of learning in America and Europe. By a late mail we received an interesting letter from young Arthur P. Peterson, who is now studying Law at Ann Arbor, Michigan. We copy as follows, under date of November 27th : "Ann Arbor is a city of 10,000 inhabitants, and is supported mostly by the students of the University of Michigan. The University is not as well known as it should be, as they do not advertise as other colleges do. In size it probably is the second or third in America. It contains this year between twelve and thirteen hundred students, not including the preparatory department. In rank they claim that it is next to Vale, or about on an equal with Amherst. The Law Department, which I am attending, is the largest, and one of the best in the country. It has nearly four hundred would-be lawyers in it. no church connected with the " There ;is but University nearly every Sunday afternoon, some one of the professors hold service. Last Sunday Dr. Cocker gave us a very interesting sermon from the 13th verse of the J2th chapter of Ecclesiastes, in which he reviewed the whole book step by step, showing under What circumstances the book was written, and the mistaken idea which many had of this book." We would merely add that Dr. Cocker, to whom reference is made, is a professor in the University. He is an Englishman, and many years ago was a Methodist preacher in the Australian Colonies, who will be remembered by many in the South Seas. He has become somewhat eminent as an author and lecturer. He is the author of a volume entitled " Christianity and Greek Philosophy," published by the Harpers of New York. It was our privilege in 1869 to hear a most interesting address from him in Delaware, Ohio, on " The Brotherhood of the Human Race." On Thursday evening last, a happy meeting took place at tbe Bethel Church, preluded by bymnody. and in tbe building adjoining, tbe little folks, and indeed tbeir elders aa well, subsequently enjoyed tbe pleasant time-honored spectacle of a beavily loaded Christmas Tree." tbe distribution of whose multifarious fruits afforded an evidently genuine gratification to tbe recipients. None seemed happier than tbe worthy pastor himself (the Rev. Dr. Damon) in the midst of bis flock, on the festive occasion. On tbe previous Monday evening, a similar Christmas fete occurred at tbe Lyceum, for tbe children of tbe Sunday school connected with Fort Street Church.

Mr. Pogue was returning with his daughter, and had reached that point on the overland railroad, when sickness compelled him to leave the oars and seek repose, and there after a short illness he died, but particulars are not given. In recording his death we feel fully authorized from our personal acquaintance of over thirty years and knowledge of his missionary career, to bear the most unqualified testimony to his fidelity as missionary of the American board of Missions. His labors at Koloa, Kauai; Ktylakekua and Kau, Hawaii; Lshainaluna, Maui, and Honolulu, fully entitle him to all which may be written in honor of his memory.

Andrews and himself oame here, leaving borne within a abort time of each other aod all then unmarried. Mr. Campbell died before reaching bis post, and now Mr. fiuabnell alone remain, at West Afrioa. Of his missionary labors I need soaroely speak. He was naturally very retiring and sensitive, aud very few, even of his friends, knew of tbe deep struggles through wbiob be passed in bis life here. Whati-ver be felt to be bis duty he would do unflinchingly, oost him what it might. I may say bis life was emphatically one of prayer, rarely ever leaving bis study lor a meeting, recitation, or business of sny kind, without seeking strength from above aod as bs returned borne, it wss first to tbe oonseorated spot. His labors whether as paator or teuoher were arduous, for he entered into them with bis wbole soul. He was suiotly honest and conscientious in business matters, and liberal in jndgment of bis fellow beings; charitable of the failings of others, and ready to check anything like gossip or unkind words of others in conversation with his family. He had great fear of getting into debt. He gave freely to heuevolent objects and in many oases so quietly tbat his own family knew not of it until afterwards. It has been stated that his death was sudden, but it wss not so. He bad had a cough for many years. The dsy he read bis report and gave in his resignation to tbe Evangelioal Association last June, bis physician said be should not be surprised if be did not live a week, and we all felt tbat be was too feeble when he left borne to undertske tbe journey alone. He bas been breaking down for years. —Soon after his arrival at these islands he married Miss Maria Whitney, daughter of the late Rev. Samuel Whitney of Waimea, Kauai. He leaves a widow and four children, two sons and two daughters, —to mourn his death. A. L. sniTII, IMPORTER & DEALER IN JEWELRY.

On the morning of the 18th of January one hundred years ngo, the ships under Captain Cook's command approached this group from the South Pacific. We find this record in the journal of the voyage: "We continued to see birds every day, and between 10° and 11° we saw several turtle. All these are looked upon as signs of the vicinity of land. However we discovered none till daybreak on the morning of the 18th, when an island made its appearance bearing northeast by east, and soon after we saw more land bearing north, entirely detached from the former." The island first seen was Niihau, and on the following day his ships anchored in the roadstead of Waimea, Kauai. The centennial anniversary of the discovery of the islands, was observed in Honolulu by a royal salute (at 12 o'clock noon) of 21 guns from the battery on Punchbowl, and by the 0. S. S. Petisacola and H. I. German Majesty's ship Elizabeth. In the afternoon Ihe marines and seamen of the latter, numbering about 300, marched out to the Kmlaokahua plains for the purpose of a grand 9 {(©li Series, 001.35. to Kulaokahua plains for practice in military tac- RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD—No. 13 11m Majesty tho King, the Queen, their tics.

Then followed a " sham fight," wherein redoubt was gradually approached by an assaulting army, and after a gallant defense compelled to surrender. Tho artillery, consistinp: of two brass field-pieces, was managed with wonderful alertness. It was really a brilliant affair, and much appreciated by the crowds of spectators on foot, on horseback and in carriages." In the evening a torch-light procession, accompanied by a band of music, enlivened the city by its marching through all the principal streets. Thus has passed Hawaii's centennial, —it is for those who come after us to observe the next. In the words of Longfellow, we say, " Look not mournfully upon the past; it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear and with a manly'heart." —Since the above was in type, we have learned that the Centennial was enthusiastically remembered at Lahaina, and we are promised a publication of Mr. Gibson's Address. We have long hoped Mr. Gibson would prepare something becoming the occasion and more permanent than a short address. We know that he has been " reading up the history of Commerce and Discovery in the Pacific oyer since Cape Horn was first •• doubled," or the old Spaniard first caught a glimpse of this ocean over the Isthmus of Panama. We know of no writer who could execute a work of this nature more skillfully or elegantly than Mr. Gibson, whose facile pen glides over paper as gracefully as the smooth keel cuts the ocean's wave. a " Wrecked.—The H.

Now that three or four different literatures are opening up before me, and there are an infinite number of things which are pressing on me in the way of study, it seems as if the dayß were not long enough. Tho German literature is an enormous mine, and as 1 look down into the shaft where the candle of a growing knowledge <>f the language is beginning to light the way, I feel almost perplexed before the many ways which open before me. I send two copies of the London " Literary World." I have been much pleased with the Iresh healthy tone of the criticisms on tbo most recent English books. 1 am euro you will enjoy tho outlook it gives in current English literature. I have of late been reading some of Joseph Cook's lecturos, especially the last. VV bat a wonderful man he is. He seems to hold a sword of flame. I heard about him years ago when 1 was in college, but he had almost laded out of mind till my remembrance was quickened in hearing of his descent upon Boston, where he seems to have operated like a heaven-sent inspiration. 1 have board somo concerts lately. One. the Messiah of Handel, which was grand beyond any words which 1 have at hand to express, and they seem to have, stirred all the music-love within me. But I must hasten to give you my impressions of Cologne, which I promised you in my last. COLOGNE. (The Colonia Agrippinensis of the Romans). " There are cities and cities.'' Some of tbem make one think of those sleek, shining poplars which stretch away for miles, marking the highways in France straight as an arrow, disdaining every curving line, precise and proper as if their million leaves had issued from tho same mould. But dow and then you come across one that makes you think of a splendid old oak, half uprooted perhaps but which still throbs with an irrepressible life, twisted and quaint and hoary, from its giant roots to its verdant crest, a thing of beauty, its net-work of branches and boughs and billows of greenery, making a fitting home lor singing birds, and casting wide generous shadows in which travelers love to linger when the noon sun grows bot. There are cities like tboso houses which face me as I sit writing you, and as I live in one on the same street, I can tell you how they look within, from cellar to garret, though I have Dover been in tbem, being confident they have been turned out by tbe same �10 THK FRIEND, modern hotels and railway stations into its quaint und shadowy past, something as you step from the gorgeously ■' restored" church abovo into tho cool, untouched, tiuje-ntnined crypt below, with the feeling that you have reached something more historic and attiactive in its plainness than all the scarlet and blue and gold in the choir above. Cologne will pay you for your study. What a mistake two-thirds of our travelers make ! They see every city from Paris to Constantinople, from Naples to Copenhagen, but become cilitens of Done. Better one, which shall prove nn an abiding and continual source of pleasure, than a ; thousand seen a la Cook. People have forgotten tho beautiful meaning as well ns the nrt itself of Sauntering. That has disappeared with tho pilgrim's staff and cockle-shell, a pilgrimage to "Sainte Terre." And so it seems to me that our travels should bo ; let us seek scenes rich in mines of history and poetry and religion, which shall indeed be to us Salutes Torres and see them in such a manner that in after years they shall come to us not with memories of feverish haste and confusion but with messages of beauty " " " and inspiration. One of the beat approaches to Cologne ie by tho magnificent iron bridge which spans the Rhine at this point, and seems a fitting entrance to tbe "City of the Saints." This appellation you feel convinced the city deserves, as you count the spires snd towers and domes which face us as we stand on our high perch above the Rhine. The oity from thia point presents a very majestic appearance, skirting the river as far as your eve can reach, and kneeling at the feet of its splendid Cathedral, which seems at last in a fair way to realise that glorious vision which floated down to earth oenturies ago. I like to think of Cologne best at evening, at tbat uncertain time when the day stands for a moment to look back at tbe coming night, and aa if in token of friendliness throws into its shadows showers of gold. Then it is that tbe airy pinnacles and spires of her churches glow and gleam, while the dusk has come in ber streets below. It seems as if ths city for the moment typified its history,—stand, ing in its half-lights. They tell ns to look so far back tbat were it not for the lights of many discoveries, and ancient records it would be hard to find our way. The Übii came one day, little dreaming of what Uy in the unborn oenturies and crossing the Rhine made here their home. And then when Christianity was yet young and cherished only in a few loving hearts, the mother of Nero, Agrippina, founded in A. D. 50, tbe colony wbieb was at length to become tho city, whose many bells at evening and morning chime the triumph of that faith which to-day girdles tbe earth. Cons tan tine has left here tbe mark of his presence. Wave after wave of war has flowed over; bishops and archbishops have here ruled and prayed snd fought; it has nourished trade and commerce; cradled artists when art first began to portray for men heavenly visions caught .. in the intervals of rest from war and bloodshed, and risen into modern times as a busy, thriving city, bringing to us of to-day ns its choicest legacy from tho pnst the most beautilui Gothic Cathedral the world knows, and giving the present the privilege of completing it, a privilege which is not being disregarded. TIIK I .VIIIKI'KAI. " lir.K 11011K DOM Zl: Ktil.N." This lolly pilo dominates the city, and the country far boyond. In fact there seems something almost omnipresent about it. You cunnot get awny from it. Sometimes in this pnrt ol the country, miles away from Cologne, both in body and mind, you chance to look about you and there far oft' in the purple distance is the Cathedral. I have been down on the Rhine climbing rugged Drnchcnfels nnd still far, fnr away on the horizon nppciircd its faint outline against the quiet sky, liko the mint of a forming cloud. Every one comes to Cologne to see the Cathedral and says "wonderful," a miracle," a piictii " of the"Gothic in stone," tho "grainiest triumph art," but of court** this is vsWM nnil unsatisfactory. And yet no one in to blame, no one should bo censured for being unnble to put into words, that which is above words. You cannot describe color to the blind und you fail if you attempt to picture a Guthic Cathedral lo one who bus yet tins revelation of beauty to enjoy. The world has grown tired of travelers' "ruptures" and descriptions which arc ns destitute of substance us moonbeams. This groat Doui " in whose shadow we are standing has "bad anything but a Aim and peaceful history, but has grandly outridden its storms. Its foundation stone was laid some six hundred years ugo ; dissensions arose between clergy und people in the sixteenth century the work on it was abandoned; in tho eighteenth the French used it as a hay magazine, but its mission was not yet accomplished. The kings ol Prussia came to its rescue. Enormous sums of money have been expended on its completion and restoration and it is hoped that in a few years it will stand complete perhaps to tell to coming centuries of the energy of this. Wordsworth should have lived to have seen its grand completion, though it will probably be accomplished in a far difi'crent way than that of which be sings. You remember his sonnet architectural genius as ours, and that they have all tbe latest modern improvements and conveniences. (Have you ever beard of one of these "modern brown stone fronts" being hauntnt or .i» having a history ?) But there are some few cities which have in part drilled into our busy nineteenth century whirl which arc neither like the arrowy poplars or fashionable city houses, but resemble more our splendid old oak. I talked to you so long about one last winter, namely Goneva, that I am a little afraid of mentioning another for lear that you may not like me to start into its history. But they are so very different in many respects that perhaps you will lingor with me a little in the narrow streets of Cologne. You think in a moment of the cathedral and of " Johann"Maria Farina," nnd i-ny you know as much about it as if you had been there lorty times, for haven't a thousand and one people written about them ? But I tako it that the majority of travelers on the Rhine don't see tho host part of Cologne after all. One needs to live near it and see it by degrees, to vit-it it again ami again, diving down under its flaring Mirface of " I II I!

I Means not wholly angelic are being actively employed ; the bases of the two grand spires are fully completed, scaffoldings of an enormous size are filled with busy workmen, and little puffs of steam come out from among the stone carvings as splendid blocks and pillars, and capitals are being raised into their place—far, far up in the blue air, where in the years to come they will be better seen by angels above than by men below, I fancy. Ali day long the ring of the hammer and chisel is beard from the stone cutters in their blouses, who are turning out leafy capitals, columns, and all manner of ecclesiastical adornments. There is a bustle and stir about it, which it not wholly in harmony with the typical hush and repose of a dim and shadowy Cathedral, and you forget your Gothic ecstacies sometimes in your speculations as to the possibilities of a fall from the scaffolding above. Then there arc little matters to ruffle the calm surface of one's esthetic dreams. After looking forward towards a nearer view of this mysterious pile which has loomed up lor hours before you as a guiding pillar of "cloud," you come with eager expectation into the "place" whieli encircles it. But you find your clouds melting away, and with one tremendous tumble you are down on your feet. The present blazons itself, the actual hugs yon so 1878. close you forget everything else. First-Hum, second-class, third class hotels face and flaunt their names in German and French and English at the astonished tourist, in letters large enough to be discovered a mile away. Endless eau do cologne" establishments flank you with their jjlate-grasa windows. Valets do Place and guides rush to give you a smiling welcome and Iml to understand your most energotic negatives. 'Busses and cabs rattle over the stones and the train whistles in and out of the neighboring [ station. Where is the pence and bush that you me led to expect in such localities. Where are tho secluded shades where tonsured monks tell their beads and from which the evening hymn flouts up intoStlic listening air? You feel very ridiculous lor the moment and just a little moro so when you learn that the splendid cathedral before you is mounting up towards heaven on tho wings (pecuniary) of a successful lottery enterprise which the Prussian government under the circumstance* authorizes. But alter a little, all these minor annoyances fall away from you and in the presence of this wonderful temple which lifts its self and you away for the time into a better, purer atmosphere than that in which men generally livo. Architecture, as one of the fine uMS, speaks less frequently to us than umsjc or painting or sculpture, hut when it does sneak there is a depth and eloquence in its utterance which thrills one moro truly than that of any of the others. There is an infinite, indescribable "stillness," and calm about these towering walls and thousand statues, a calm which the countless advancing and receding tumultuous waves of life, of travel and traffic at its base arc powerless to break. Please don't fancy that I have grown wise in the intricate mazes of architectural art and science or that I would affect a knowlodge which I am but too painfully aware I am lar from possessing. Yet I think you will sympathize with me when I say that of laic, especially in the many visits 1 have made to this growing glory of Cologn,, there has been coming to me an almost solemn sense of what these statelypiles are capable of expressing. With us you know, in new countries utility has hoen of necessity the predominant idea, our houses and churches have been, as a general thing, well adapted to keep off the sun and rain. Those who have lived from the cradle to the grave in the presence of somo cathedral, or church which has '• petrified the spirit or genius of the centuries which produced them, which is as much an expression of devotion as the hymns and chants which float away with the incense, can scarcely understand that grttdual dawning of a new and beautiful idea or, one to v•' .11 it is as strange as it is beautiful. 1 am willing to confess my ignorance, as I have found it has given rise to a pleasure which I had not " " " " " " anticipated. The Cologne Cathedral has not the wealth and richness of adornment which lioautifies that of Milan, but more ornamentation would I think detract from its dignity. It is indeed perfect, perfect enough I should think to strengthen every tired soul that posses into its presence. Truo enough in all its delicacy of finish in its perfection of sculptured capitals, though hidden almost out of sight, in that union of tenderness and strength to shame all that is craven and false. There is a little spire to which you mount up by many stairs and which you are unwilling to leave. There is before you the city ; beyond the fair shores of the RhiDe and their bordering hills; but the beauty about you claims your lougest gaze, this garden of stone, this magio forest; on the north bate and leafless as if under the reign of the winter, but budding spring-like into a thousand quaint traceries and mimic shapes as your eye follows its, further growth, till on the south it bursts into, a summer beauty of glorious leafage and bloom. Flying buttresses break the air in their splendid leap. Wierd and terrible shapes are flinging themselves in the gargoyles in a fierce, furious way from the holy spot where their troubled spirits may not rest.

Do you remember have wearied you with words, I shall but sec a tbonc charming books, " Letters from Palmyra " points tho 1878. 1 THfi ¥IU X M», FKBRII A It Y and "The Early Christians "1 in tbe latter, if 1 am not very much mistaken, there is a graphic account of the persecution under Diocletian. It will always seem more real to me after this tangible reminder of these good men who fell viotims to the fury of heathen Rome, in this out-poet of the empire. Out again into these winding Cologne streets, almost as htbyrinthino as those of Boston, accosting every other person we meet as to the way, we come to St. Peters to see a picture of Rubens. I forgot to look at the church in looking at the picture, but I remember the way in seemed very pretty, a cloister-like walk (with little shrines, at one of which a woman was praying), hemming in a verdant bit of turt and shrubbery. The attraction here is an altar piece, representing tho crucifixion of St. Peter. You have to pay to see it of bourse, but it is moro than worth the fee. You see, tbe original picture is not as a general thing turned toward the church. It swings on a pivot. There is a copy of it, made by_ some artist or other whp would have done well not to have put his work in such close contrast with that ot a master-hand. For a trifle they turn the real Rubens round for you. You who are so wise in church history remember the legend, how that Peter was crucified, in accordance with his humble request, head-downwards. It seems so like him, —just in harmony with his splendid impulsive self, with his eager, tumultuous, tender, loving intensely human-self, so like him who straightway left his fisher's net and followed his Lord, who boldly stepped forth upon tbe treacherous waves, who could even deny his Master and then repent in agony, and who could in the last terrible moment of an awful death seek one yet even moro debased than that of Him who was lifted up for his sius. Of course the whole strength of tho picture is centered on this great figure. There are soldiers and other figures engaged in their terrible task in fastening the body to the cross, but these have rather faded out of my memory. But I shall not soon forget that powerful, contorted figure with the eyes straining in this fearful anguish, the strong muscul.ir arms tenso as iron, the bronze skin which tho wind and rain and sun had deepened as he plied his oar on the Lake of Galilee, the crisp, grizzled hair of tho valiant old man, and tbe fearful tinging of the blood in that face so near the earth. "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?'' Lord, thou knowoet all things; thou knowest that 1 love thee." We might go to St. Andreas, to St. Cunibert, to St. Pantaleon, to Si. Maria in Capitol, the quaiut old basilica which goes back they say to tho seventh century, to St. Martin down by the river, with its font a thousand years old, but we have seen enough for one day and will see no more, but instead listen to their many bells which as if by some law of spiritual harmony make no discord as they come to us from every quarter. " JOllANN MARIA FARINA. You know it is from this fine old city on tho Rhine, that for many a year have flowed the fragrant streams of Eau de Cologne,'' known all over the world. The original Farina seems to have come a long time ago from Italy, and here started the business of making the perlutue which has borrowed the name of the Rhenish town. If there was hut some way of doing it, I should like to shower a fragrant rain of these perfumes on you, or don't you need the sweetening? They have a poor sort of joke about here, but good enough sometimes to delude tbe unwary, namely that so plentiful is this liquid that some people bathe in eau de cologne; and you oan yourself make the boast if you see fit to come here and lot on the Rhine water which.sweeps by Cologne, into your bath.

We have often thought of writing an article upon the good influence of woman when cruising on shipboard in the Pacific. There is no question but the wives of Protestant missionaries in Polynesia have been most potent in the spread of Christianity. We would now referto the hoppy influence of the wives of shipmaster*. When visiting ships in Honolulu hnrbor, it always aflbrus us delight to learn thaf the shipmaster is accompanied by his wife. A word of good cheer comes to us upon this point from an old and retired missionary of the London Missionary Society, now residing near Sydney, but formerly a missionary on Aitutoki, one of the Hervey group. He writes under date of Nov. 14th, 1877, ns follows : " My object in writing this is to beg you will do me the favor to inform, through your useful paper the Friend, those kind lady friends that used to call at Aitutaki with their husbands the whalksmmnsters, from your eastern ports, —Mrs. Mrs. Woodbridge, Mrs. FullDr, Mrs. Skinner, Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. Rose, and J could fill the sheet with the names of others, for whom a warm and sincere friendship was entertained, until the close of life by my deor departed wife, Mrs. Sarah Royle of Manchester, England, working most laboriously in the cause of Christ, under the auspices of the London Missionary Society, at the Hervey group mission for nearly forty years ; during that period she never tired in her ceaseless efforts to bring souls to Christ, instructing the young, the wayward female adult.-", and sought out most tenderly those that were out of the way of virtue antl happiness." Such assurances as these from the ajed nnd venerable missionary, are golden links of Christian friendship uniting the dwellers on the Polynesian Islands with Christian friends in America and England. In noticing woman's wide-spread and hnppy influence, the sentiment of Thackeray is recalled to mind, "A good woman is the loveliest flower that blooms under heaven"; also that of Luther, " There is nothing sweeter on earth than the heart of a woman where piety dwells."

The Statue of Captain Cook.—The Pall Mall Gazette of October 23d has the following :—" The statue of Captain Cook, which Mr. Woollier has so long been engaged upon for the government of New South Wales, will be sent to the founders in a few days, and we hear that it is not to be shown to the public in this country. The size of this statue is remarkable : it measures 13 feet 6 inches from the feet to the crown of the head, and nearly 2 feet more to the end of the uplifted arm. Thus, when placed on the1 pedestal already provided for its reception in Hyde Park, Sydney, the total height above the ground will not be less than 37 feet. The situation in Sydney is most happily chosen, and is so elevated that vessels, when they have entered the Heads of Port Jackson, will be able to see the statue in the distance as they work their way up to Sydney. * * In looking at the statue the impression of extraordinary size quickly fades, and the whole figure is thoroughly grasped at once. The attitude is easy, yet imposing. The great navigator has come on deck bareheaded, and has just made out the new continent showing dimly in the early morning sun. He is thus represented in the moment of a discovery which entitles Cook to rank immediately below Columbus in the list of discoverers. * The drapery is most carefully worked ; and the old-fashioned garb, with its laced coat, large-pocketed waistcoat, tight knee-breeches, and large-buckled shoes, seems to have lost its grotesqueness in the way it is here managed, and to be better suited than any other to the occasion, though the inevitable queue scarcely suits one's idea of a becoming finish to the neck." * Information Wanted.

A Summer in Norway, with notes on the Industries, Habits, Customs and PenuliarU ties of the People, the History and Institutions of the Country, its Climate, Topography and Productions ; also an account of the Red-deer, Rein-deer and Elk.—By John Dean Calon, L.L.D., Ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois. Chicago,—Jansen, McClurg & Co., 1875. — Id our last issue we irmde a passing allusion to this book. We have since given it apthorough perusnl, and find that it is a most interesting and charming book of travel. The style is clear and natural, and it docs the reader's eyes good to look upon pnges beautifully and neatly printed, and not one typographical error have we discovered from beginning to end. If our limits would allow we should gladly favor our readers with copious extracts, but there are several points we cannot omit to notice. During the summer of IS7- Judge Caton, accompanied by his wife and other ladycompanions, voyaged to Europe and instead of following the usual routes of travel, struck nway for Norway and pushed their rambles to Hammerfest, the most northern town or settlement of civilized man on our globe, lying within the Arctic circle as far north as Point Barrow within the Arctic Ocean. This is a town of about 2,000 inhabitants engaged in fishing, whaling, and the mnnufacture of cod-liver oil. In this region of " perpetual day" during the long days of summer, the weather is charming, while in winter, during the season of perpetual night," the sea is open nnd steamers are plying in and out the harbor. The mildness of the weather is of course owing to the broad sweep of the gulf stream, which flows with its deep and warm current from the Gulf of Mexico and along the American Coast and crossing the Northern 'Atlantic Ocean tempers air and sea in those regions of Europe, which would otherwise be uninhabitable for civilized man. Hammerfest is a whaling port. The business waa started by a Norwegian by the name of Sven Toyen, who has made a fortune. He is said to be the most successful at present of any one engaged in the whaling business. The enterprise is prosecuted by steamers. The whales having been caught are towed into port and there tried out, and "every part of the animal which can be utilized is saved and prepared for the marUp to the Ist of July, twenty-eight ket whales had been captured. The steamers cruise a hundred miles off shore. It is quite impossible for us to follow our author's voyaging and journeying, but he and his party were everywhere welcomed " " . pronounce the Norwegians the most polite people in the woild. He has much to say about the Lapps, and that too in a style of narration as entertaining and instructive as can well be written. His chapter upon the civil nnd political status of Norway is very instructive, showing how firmly they hnve maintained their independence under most adverse circumstances, when severed from Denmark and brought under the king of Sweden ; but we cannot linger amid historical descriptive scenes as enchanting as fairy tales and as instructive as the most sober pages of history. One historic incident we cannot omit to notice. Away back in the 17th century, when Gustavus Adolphus was king of Sweden, and Christian IV of Denmark, Col. George Sinclair of the Scottish Highlands, undertook to cross Norway with 900 of his clan to go to the asaistance of the king of Sweden. They landed on the Norwegian coast and were marching in unconscious security, when the brave Scotch were completely overwhelmed by an ambushed party of Norwegians, who had placed "nn imon an mense quantity of logs and rocks advantageous eminence, under which the brave Sinclair and his 900 followers would pass. At the critical moment down came the crushing mass, and not one escaped to tell the tnle, any more than did one'of the brave Coster's troops escape Sitting Bull and his savage followers. But as the legendary story goes, a gallant Norwegian about to lead his fair bride to the hymenial altar, was commissioned by her to rush into the deadly ufTray and rescue Lady Sinclair, but the good lady mistaking his purpose shot him dead, while she experienced a similar fate. A monument to Col. George Sinclair may be seen near Storklcustad, where he fell August 26th, Kil2. In reading this touching story, supported by authentic history and tradition, we were reminded of more*recent events on Hawaiian shores, when a gallant Norwegian (residing on Kauai in that very region of the island which first arrested the eye of Capt. Cook just one century ago), met a fair and youthful daughter of the Sinclair clan and led her to the hymenial altar, and now they dwell together in a happy home, " with olive plants growing up around their table." It is pleasant thus- to link Norwegian, Scottish and Hawaiian incidents, and the time may come when some Scott shall weave in romance scenes not only of " border warfare," but more recent events and more peaceful incidents linking lands and nations separated by half the circumference of our globe. " Japan Correspondence. Kobe, Japan, October, 1877. Z>«orr Friend:—Let me tell you of the recent spread of the gospel in this empire. We had learned from President Clark, (of whom I formerly wrote you, and whose wife is a daughter of the Rev. Wm. Richards with kindness, and he does not hesitate to who wns of the Htivviiiiun mi pjii ut L iti't- 187 8. ma) of his success with ihe first class of the agricultural college (fifteen or sixteen) at Sapora, which under government patronage, he had just organized. Through his influence, the Bible was made a text book on the subject o( morals, which the government superintendent desired should lie taught; and thereby the wholr class was convinced of the truth of Christianity, and wished to He told them he had no be baptized. authority to do that, hut by his advice they joined in a club or society, pledging themselves to abstain from strong drink, tobacco, and opium, and to unite with God's people when opportunity offered. Six months or more since President Clark left, we hear that a missionary from Hakodate has been to Sapora and baptized the whole class; they are all picked men educated by the government, and will probably fill important posts. Again we are told that far in the interior, a missionary had bam invited or permitted to preach in a Budhist temple, and that there (though obliged to speak through an interpreter) he had rend and expounded three books of the New Testament to attentive audiences, of 80 to 100. At the recent dedication of n church edifice at Snniln, fivepersons from a considerable city fifteen or twenty miles distant, were present. One of them had repeatedly walked that distance, to intend preaching at S., bringing with him his friends, and they with others of that city have requested that some ontj would come monthly nnd preai-h in their city,—and it is intended this shall be done. A request like the preceding has come to Mr. Atkinson of our mission from nnother quarter, nnd students of theology have consequently been sent thither. Quite a number of pupils in the training school spend their long vacation as colporteurs, anil preach as doors are opened. Nearly a year ago, a young native from a distant region called at Mr. Atkinson's, asked for and received some portions of the Scriptures. After some mouths lie wrote for more, and said he would pay for them, but sent no money. For a long time nothing was heard from li tin ; but recently a letter has come from him with a little money, in which he says that his father had recently died, and afterward he himself had been very ill; he was now better and would by installments pay for the books. Moreover he said they had been read by many of his neighbors, and now they wished him to preach to them ; he purposed to do so. He lives quite remote, 1 believe 100 miles from any missionary station. As there are readers in almost every part of Japan, and the Scriptures (especially of the New Testament) are beginning to be circulated, there is ground to hope that gospel light will spread with greatly increased velocity.

The association has had for nine years a thrifty Mission School and has sustained a daily prayer meeting for nearly six years. In all Protestant countries on the Continent, confirmation at the age of fourteen or sixteen is either obligatory, or at least very general. Much attention is now being paid to the question of how the young men who have just been confirmed maybe brought under the influence of the Y. M. C. A. The Association at Geneva sends a special circular, together with a card of admission, to each "Cathchumene," just previous to the confirmation. At Lausaune, (he youngest members of the Association meet those about to. be cqnflrmet} In (b,e presence of the Minister, and give to each a personal invitation to the next meeting of the association after the confirmation. At other places the Minister himself urges the young men to attend the meetings of the association, or takes them there himself and introduces them to the members. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

By the Morning Star information was receivei from Samuel L. Young, of Ebon, Marshall Islands, under date of November 5, 1877, that the schooner Peerless, commanded by Captain Hamilton, sailed from Samoa November 20, 1875, for Havapai, taking as passengers Mrs. McFarland, Miss Williams, her sister, and three children. Hamilton was sailing master, and Mr. Yon Rapford as master. She has never been heard of since, and is supposed to have foundered in a gale sweeping over the Friendly Islands during the month of November, 1876. Our informant writes, "There can be no moral doubt that the vessel foundered within 48 hours (if not within 24) after leaving Apia in the Samoan Islands. Up to June, 1876, no tidings whatever hsd been received." > January 3, 1878. ) You can all understand the exigencies of travel, and can. see how one can call scarcely a moment his own, in the goings hither and thither, so that I have looked longingly for a few moments to talk with you, but it has been quite impossible. We are offearly in the morning for Cassel, then Erfurt, Weimar, Leipsig. Wurtemberg, etc., reach- ing Berlin early next week. In place of the usual letter we publish the following sketches: A " SCHUMANN " CONCERT. I suppose the Germans would be called the most musical nation of the world, certainly no other would think of disputing their claim, unless perhaps the Italians, but I think a land which could produce a Beethoven or Handel not to be compared with another. It is a rare thing to find a German who doesn't love music, and with some of them it seems the only outlet of their religious nature and with others almost a religion. But to the great German people from the early days of childhood to the end, it is one long source of comfort and solase and recreation. They sing with their hearts snd with a time and exactness apd thoroughness which is worthy ofcareful imitation. The city (Elberfeld) wherelam atpreaent find its aesthetic recreation in some very choice concerts during the winter. The first, which took place a few evenings since was devoted entirely to Robert Schumann's music for selections from "Faust." You can readily conceive that the task was one which called for a musical taste and cultivation of no inferior order. The final rehearsal which is giyen the evening before the concert proper, snd between which and the latter, the principal difference is that of entrance fee and full-dress, affords one who goes for the music simply a rare opportunity of realizing his desires free from the encumbrances of the next evening. The hall in which the concert is given is a noble one with a fine organ and chorus aland at The walls are relieved by the inThanks, —to the unknown person who one end.busts of the Emperor and Empress evitable returned the First Series " of the Friend and the Crown Prince and Princess. The to our office, which has been missing for room was crowded and crowded with people several months. to whom the difficult, mystical music of the " �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 18 evening seemed intelligible. It gave me a very good opportunity of judging of a fair representative audience of well-educated Oerman ladies and gentlemen. The German gentlemen seem to me to have rather more than their just proportion of good looks, and you constantly meet with fine noble looking men, while the ladies, though beaming with kindliness, seem to lack something of the force snd strength and beauty, which impress you in the faces of their husbands and brothers. But I must seem very ungallant. It is really a very fine sight all those faces stretching off to the far end of the hall. They are eminently placid faces. There is nothing of the feverish, inflniiimabk' look, as in a French company, hardly a face with n suggestion of a revolution, and in a Frenchman's eyes lurks always suggestion tif that. The German people rest you, there is a delicious absence of hurry about them, an almost child-like enjoyment in enjoyment for itself, without anxious speculations as to the morrow's possibilities, a pervading content, that Americans who find life scarce full enough of crash and sensation, are nt a loss to comprehend. But here is the sharp tap of the leader's baton, and the noise, for hundreds of German voices are capable of making something more than a hum, dies away in an instant; all eyes are turned on the chorus and our German friends enter naturally into a world of sentiment, with a sense o( rest and home-coming and of rare enjoyment.

There is the orchestra in the center; at the end thu organ and at times a harp. The leader rules as n king. The text, as I said, consisted of selections from " Faust," which is so inexhaustible in its shades of meaning, in its dim, gigantic mysticism, that Schumann must have almost trembled before his self imposed tnsk. 1 should scarcely be so presumptuous as to attempt any description of what is in its essence so intangible as Schumann " music, but 1 wish that you could ha\efelt with me some portions of the closing chorusses so finely rendered here. The scene in the garden where Marguerite talks with Faust and talking girl-like, pulls the flower she holds in her hand to know if in its magic leaves lies the love-secret for which she senrches, first comes before us. This is followed by the beseeching cry of the crushed girl-heart before the virgin's shrine. Then there is a tremendous power in what follows further on, the scene in the cathedral, which is well '' nigh unearthly. The kneeling Gretchen, the haunting voice of the evil spirit in heaven, the roll ofthe organ, and the voices of the choir in the solemn Ira*. Diea Ilia. " Dies Solvet Baßclum in farllla." But it would be unkind simply to enumerate scenes which must be of necessity an enumeration. You are undoubtedly familiar with them all, but if not, you will I think find a rare pleasure in looking at Bayard Taylor's trsnslstion of Fsust, of which a cultivated German gentleman spoke to me the other day in terms of unqualified praise. Some portions of the second part in those songs ofthe spirits of the heights and depths, 18 78. in the sweet chorus of tbe angels, and in the sisters in that English family seem to be fully as well endowed with brains as their princely broihers.

Une of these we are shown is very fine perhaps,—but the splendor makes it singularly cheerless. There is the chapel, at one end of which is a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper," and through a side window comes a flood of sunlight which is dyed crimson by the glass. A little side chapel is used by the English residents of Coblentz for their church service. Though a Protestant the Empress has rendered herself unpopular by her Catholic tendencies or rather by the favor she seems lo have shown that party. Coblentz is looked down upon by Ehrenbreitstein, a magnificent fortress which is one of the strongest of the strongholds of Prussia. I have also visited diisseldorf, Where for several weeks the people had been on the tip-toe of expectation in reference to the arrival of the Emperor for the autumn manoeuvres. He had not been to Dusseldorf since his coronation as Emperor, and they were accordingly most desirous of giving him a fitting reception. Dusseldorf is a great garrison town and has also for many years been one of the celebrnted schools of German art. Nothing could be more charming than to visit it often and to see the new pictures as they are exhibited. Some three hundred artists, I think, arc now studying, though but a minority of them are so bold as to exhibit their paintings. Well, all of the Dusseldorf people were determined to give the Emperor the most artistic and fete-like welcome, and they succeeded. The Emperor came with Moltke and Manteuffel and a host of other men, but Bismarck was not here. There was a splendid triumphal arch near the station, and the streets were in holiday trim with streamers and flags of red and black and white and triumphant with the eagle of Prussia. The town gave him the grandest of dinners in their principal hall, into which a kind-hearted old concierge smuggled me to see the decorations which were being prepared for the room. There was an elaborate bill of fare, and the rumor is that the Emperor, simple to severity in his diet, struck out a large portion of it. A man who has faced the hardships of camp-life loses his liking for dainties. His private table would hardly tempt an epicure. The gardens were lighted most beautifully. It must have been like fairy-land. There were arbors and avenues of jet-gas flame, and the whole town flashed out in illumination. The Royal party, for the Empress and others were there, drove through the crowded streets. Then on another evening the artists of the city gave a superb entertainment, for which they taxed their energies to the utmost. They have a place of resort, a house and gurden, which formerly belonged to the poet Jacobi and where Goethe used to go. It is now their own property, and here they invited the Emperor. The entertainment consisted of most elaborate tableaux nnd accompanying recitations. Different scenes illustrating epochs in German history were presented with most conscientious detail. The closing piece I think was the fair " Rhineland." beautiful " with blossom'd trees and fields which promise corn 1878. and wine," from which Uermania rose to greet the Emperor. Day after day there were military parades and reviews and manoeuvres off in the outlying country. And then the Emperor went to Cologne where they gave him another illumination. So that the old warrior's visit to this one of his loveliest provinces was from the beginning to the end most patriotically celebrated. May the great Wilholm 1. long sit on his imperial throne!

He is ono of the leading pastors of this flourishing, iiiiiiiiilaeturiiig city, and when he preitclics the church is crowded. In limes of great opposition he has made himself popular by speaking great words of truth, firing his shot, without fear into the enemy's camp. You would think him a man of rare culture, sitting opposite you there, unbending a while Iroiu his countless duties and pastoral cares, and saying many things you would like to remember. His knowledge of Hebrew would enable him to fill a professor's chair, and with the Greek ho seeuis fully at home, just a little bit dogmatic perhaps, but then earnest men are generally so. To him it is a wonder why so many American theological students and thinkers have lelt it a privilege to sit Paul-like at tbe feet of Gorman Gamaliels, whom be thinks have been too often '• blind leadersof the blind." With a wide range of reading in their own language, with divines who have left mines of thought and learning, they have courted German thought and German thinkers far too much. Certainly America is suffering in many respects from European tree thinking, snd it would be- " " t ! " " 19 hoove hef religions teachers to drink from "founts ol inspiration," in whore waters there can be no possible suspioion of impurity. The marvelous Mr. Cooke who has recently flashed a.a atar of the first magnitude upon our American intellectual and religious horison, has a theme in bis already begun Boston lectures, in tbe handling and development of which, he will be keenly watched by thinking people in many parts of the world. Door such a vast religious movement as that which recently stirred England and Scotland to its depths, seem a possible or likely thing in Germany ? Our pastor, whoso whole soul ii in Ins wink, scarcely thinks so. Tito cast of the German mind is so different and what elsewhere might charm one people by its novelty and bo the means of leading them to holier and better things would perhaps excite a sneer in another. I'uiil never forgot that be was speaking to Athenians, while remembering their need as sinners. Hot was not the Reformation a tremendous revival '! Yes, but we should never forgot in studying its history, that there wore political as well some to be accomplished. centuries the religious lilts of Germany has been so into woven with that of the State, that it as Kir spiritual ends by lias lost in many respects that peculiar sanctity which it seems to possess in a people who view the church as thoroughly disconnected from all civil or political movements. The dividod church ol (■ertuaiiy, to-day, (with its varied shades of opinion; with Its pmlessed members oftentimes inclining towards a creed which saps at the spiritual foundation on which f.ulher planted himself so boldly; nnd shadowed oftentimes by the cloud of scepticism which envelops 100 frequent-, ly the thought of the scholars and philosophers of this country), seems to have wandered far from that ideal which the founder of Christianity set before his followers. Perhaps in this region of country where 1 am now, you would find the most market! evangelical piety of Germany, snd yet there seems a tremendous need of something which I can in no better way.expre»B than by the one word— warmth .' There are many of the noblest, and most-devoted people, but they have to meet an array of radical thought of illiberal liberalism, of even professed unbelief which tests most truly their devotion. Tfio Catholic Church of Germany is setting the Protestant a lesson of zinl which the latter would do well to imitate. It is a natural out-come of the turn which political affairs luivo taken, perhaps I should say of a misunderstanding of a policy which was wsr to the knifo with Jesuitism and not with Catholicism. Hut with a readiness to construe juat legislation as persecution which seems one of the distinguishing characteristics of tbe Romish ohurch, the Catholics have rallied about their shrines and priests. I have seen with surprise the crowded Catholic churches, in this country of Luther, audiences largely composed of men, who are not as a general thing given to'church going in a country where beliel and prayer seem oftentimes to be mure particularly monopolized by the women. An out and out persecution would do the German church an immense deal of good. It has been so protected and fathered by the government, so settled in its outward surroundings, that it has hardly known tlie splcudid stimulus of opposition in the way that a church, poor iv earthly resources muat needs do. Of the deep, earnest spiritual life which glows in thousands of Christian hearts no one can doubt, nnd the time may come when this shall take the place of the present formalism which while it may enibrine the flame can never fan it to a brighter glow. German scholars have cultivated the brain almost abnormally and all departments of thought have suffered from this. That a reaction should some day take place, when the great humnn heart that is in them, should make itself felt in its cry and hunger for the Infinite Love which is its only true comfort, is something most devoutly to be wished for by true Christian people and you may say slso by those who should be wise enough to see that, doubt and scepticism are prolific in evils. One may with reason say that the country wbieb �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 1878. 20 late war with France, a war culminating in the coronation of the King of Prussia a* Emperor of Germany in the Palace of Versailles, has in many respects suffered in its viotory. It is a difficult thing to wear the "laurels" with an humble heart, and Germany in her splendid triumph has not proved an exception to the general rule. In the exteriors, she has gamed; in the leap forward which Iter industrial energies have taken ; in tbe quickening of her political life, in the very proud stand she has taken among the first of military powers, in wss victor in tbe all these no ono can doubt she has been the gainer. But, if I am not very much mistaken many of her warmest lovers would concede that she is suffering to-day from the dazzle of conquest, from the success which renders hor so in- tolerant ol and restive under criticism Irom foreign sources, from tbe blinding of her eyes to many evils which must ultimately be of injury and in that unruffled satisfaction with which she is too ready to regard that in which she is herself tho prime mover. At such a time the church should be doubly on the watch especially when it ia so interwoven with a sanctioned formalism as here. But I trust you will excuse me for dwelling so long on this subject, sonic of which drifted into our talk with good Pastor G," nnd some of which did not and which perhaps he might not be will me to endorse as his ideas or thoughts, I have given them as they have seemed to me from that which I have seen and heard and not its the result of any very mature thought or deep research, which perhaps would lead to a wiser and clearer understanding of the same F. W. Damon. " Since the above was in type, we have received the following: A PEEP AT THE HAWAIIAN LEGATION IN BERLIN. Dear Friend:—Perhaps you were beginning to think that all my future letters to you would be dated from the valley-shores of the Rhine, of the maeical Rhine, which still flows as a river full of enchaqtment in these literal and prosaic days, nnd in whose green depths the spell and song of the Lurlei seems in some unaccountable way to linger. But even Rhineland is not all the world, so 1 have come away from its quiet scenes by invitation of the Hon. Mr. Carter, to this brilliant, splendid imperial capital, " rambling" hither by the most charming and fascinating of routes and, that which was best of all, in the most delightful and congenial of company. Now, my dear Friend, pardon my moralizing and "advice," if you ever come to Europe, plan it so, that you will have a pleasant friend with you, one who will want to see what you want to see, and hear what you want to hear. Believe me, the pictures will seem to be in richer tints and the music full of added sweetness, and a fairer sunlight blessing all things,—by reason of this sympathetic companionship. 1 hope you will be patient with me if from time to time, I shall try to sketch you a few outline pen-pictures of Berlin and its glory and grandeur, of its rich treasures of art, of its busy, bustling life, and of its countless interesting scenes. This quiet winter's morning with the muffled sounds of the great, throbbing city floating up to me, 1 feel as if I had very much to tell you, so much that I scarcely know where to begin. I wish that enchanted carpet was still in existence, which played such an important part in the "Arabian Nights." Perhaps, however, yon never condescended to read the "Arabian Nights," and hence let me say, that they say there was once a magical carpet, you took your stand upon it, breathed a wish to be in the midst of some distant scene and in a twinkling you were there. Well, as I was saying I wish it still existed, and I would ask you to come to me and see in what a charming little nook I am this morning writing. As this is not possible, try to till out the picture from my poor hints. We are living in the heart of this great, wonderful, German city, but if I may be allowed the ex- pression, there is another heart within this outer one, which we have christened "The Hawaiian Legation," and we who dwell within it, often very often turn our thoughts in loving remembrance to a certain little island-group which lies towards the sunset. The great Imperial Schloss (Palace) almost embraces us, in the shadow of its dome, whose gold cross, seems to float in the upper air. Here all the great court-festivities take place, and there we go this evening to enjoy and share Imperial hospitality of the grand old Emperor Wilhelm Ist and His Empress and Queen. Farther 10 the left we catch through our window a glimpse of the Cathedral and Art-Galleries and the Equestrian Statue of Wiliiam IV. Then crossing the bridge with its beautiful, heroic statues, we stand at the foot of the magnificent Untcr den Linden" which stretches off grandly to the Brandenburg gate. This wonderful ''Unter den Linden" a walksup whjfh is an inspiration, with its enormous university, its palaces, its statues, its embassies, its glittering shops, I must tell you of onother time. Just before our hotel runs an arm of the river Spree, where the swans float as carmly as if this were June and not January. Near at hand is a tiny''place with iis group of leafless trees, whose veins, I think, the hope of spring must even now be warming. And just under our balcony, so near, that they seem almost speaking 10 us are grouped some of the great men whose memory Germany has honored in bronze. As I write, the snow is falling, slowly, softly almost imperceptibly. It has whitened the streets, made pure white-coral of the poor brown leafless boughs nnd sprays on the little grove; thrown a regal cloak of ermine over my bronze-heroes who stand in their grand and eloquent silence and floated almost to our door, before which the dearest of cheery, blythe-voiced snow birds hop and chirp for the crumbs which await them there. And within is the ''Hawaiian Legation." I think in the old Greek stories we were some times told of a floating island which drifted on the waves in this direction and that, till at last it was chained to its home. I cherish the fancy that, if not one of our Islands, at least a fragment of one has drifted for a time into this quiet nook of which 1 have been telling you, over which we have {figuratively) hoisted the Hawaiian flag and taken possession in the name of His Hawaiian Majesty. That this is not wholly fancy I am quite sure you would be convinced if yon could look in upon us. There are groupings of mosses and ferns and tropical growths and ivy and a cluster of ki" leaves, which tike me in imagination to many a cool valley nook, where some of our Hawaiian streams, make their onward way through tangles of fern " " '' and''ki." And at times you would hear our " National Antkem," which is sung with loyalty enough to please the most enthusiastic patriot and lover of Hawaii. Their Hawaiian Majesties, the King and Queen, with the different members of the Royal Family honor our Legation with their presence and their photographs are regarded with the greatest interest. We come home from the galleries with their long vistas of paintings and sculpture and find, as I am sure you will understand, a restful pleasure in many Island pictures which help to bring your palm-studded gardens, and nice embowered verandahs and lovely tropical ''summerlife " very near to our eyes and hearts. Here is my little sketch, though in very rough out-lines but perhaps, through this medium you can better place us. And it is exceedingly pleasant to see the welcome " Hawaii " finds awaiting it in this, one of the world's great capitals. I can but think that our Island Kingdom will share with pleasure in the news of the gracious reception given by the grand old German Emperor and Hi« Empress and the Imperial and Royal Family to Hawaii's Representative here, and will feel an added stimulus to effort and enterprise in the thought that those who represent one of the most powerful Empires of the present day, learn with interest and pleasure of Hawaii's prosperity and success under her present sovengn. It is a significant fact that, at the Court-reception held, the other evening at the Imperial Palace, the Emperor noted the presence for the first time of Representatives from China, Japan and Hawaii and remarked that hereafter he hoped these nations would continue to be represented at his court. That Europe recognizes the importance of our group, and regards with truest interest the development of its people, is a fact quite too well known to call for statement here. I was especially struck the other day by the thoughtful remarks of one of Germany's foremost rriro, the Imperial Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in reference to the great feature of the Pacific, as the seat and theatre of the grand events of the next hundred years, and of the important part which our unique position must necessarily lead us to play,—remarks which were in fact a splendid affirmation of that eloquent prophecy of Seward, so well know.n to you. These wise and thoughtful remarks of men who look beneath the surface of things to the great coming events which with practised vision they well see should be a magnificent spur to young Hawaii standing as it does on the threshold of a future so full of splendid possibilities. From this distant capital I send, through you, my word of cheer to those who are to meet the important issues of the coming years, adding the earnest and sincere hope that they may meet them bravely, hopefully, successfully.

BT EX-JUDGE CATON, OF ILLINOIS, AUTHOR OF "A SUMMER IN NORWAY," ETC. The two months I hsve spent in these Isl1 have found both pleasant and profitWherever I have gone the hospitality and kindness of the people have deeply impressed me and will not be forgotten. I have traveled in many countries and visited many places of high repute for healthness, but none which I think will compare with the Hawaiian Islands as a sanitary resort. I have taken some pains to gather mortuary statistics,and I think the death rate lower than can be found in any other country. Especially is this true in reference to the children offpreigners. I will not stop to trouble you with the figures, but will merely say that the results are almost incredible. Indeed the death of a child is of rare occurrence, and the mother has little fear that her infant will not reach tfie age of puberty. Those diseases to which children ands, able. everywhere are subject occur here also, but they are of so mild a type as to cause little apprehension when proper care is taken. This is equally true in the most aired and in the most humid portions of the Islands. In these Islands the zoologist finds a page in natural history to study, which is nowhere else afforded to so full an extent. That is, the influence upon domesticated animals, in their reversion to the wild state. The influence of domestication upon wild animals has been long the subject of interesting observation, but tlie opportunities for counter observations have been limited Here I find that the horse, the ox, the goat, the hog, the dog, the cat, and in some instances even the sheep, among quadrupeds, and the turkey, the peacock, and the barnyard fowl among the birds, have all fled from domestic control and become wild, some for a longer time and to a much greater extent than others. What changes have been wrought in each in form, color, habit and reproductive powers, by this changed condition of life is a subject which I trust some competent naturalist will investigate. I have no doubt he will find that the tendency is a reversion to the peculiarities of the original parent, and I think it not improbable that it will be found that the longer the species has been kept in domestication, the longer it will take to coniplete this reversion. The specimens of the wild turkeys here which I have seen already show a marked advance towards the form and colorings of the wild turkey of America, and which are quite wanting in our domestic turkey, unless they are lately descended from the wild stock or the wild blood has lately been infused into the tame flock. The tendency ol 1878. the swine to revert to the form, color end habit of the wild boar, is very marked especially with the young pig which in the wild state is striped longitudinally. But I do not propose to discuss the subject now, but only to call attention to the facilities here afforded (or its investigation and to ask of those whp have the opportunities, to observe whether there is a tendency among these domestic animals gone wild to assume uniform colors, that is, the individuals of a species to become colored alike, the sexes however differing more or less as is usually the case in the original wild state. We can hardly expect that sufficient time hus'elapsed to make an impression on the color of the horse, the ox or the goat, and yet it may be found that with the ox and the goat, the black color begins to predominate more with the wild than with the tame, or that the black is of a deeper shade or more pronounced on the former than the latter. I should be glad to speak of the observations I have made of the agriculture of these Islands, which after all is the great and leading interest, and should receive every possible encouragement at the hands of the government, for therein must consist the wealth and support of the kingdom ; but I have already occupied more of your space than I should have done. With many thanks for the kindness received from all classes,—from the king down through nil grades with whom 1 am, Arc. I have come in contact, Return of the "Morning Star." It is always a source of sincere rejoicing when our missionary vessel safely returns from her annual trip among the Micronesinn Islands. The dangers are numerous when a vessel is obliged to call at so many islands Captain Colcord has shown himself a good and careful navigator, and we regret to learn that he has resigned command of the vessel. Reports from all the stations are full of encouragement to the friends of missions. This is specially true of reports from Apaiang in the Gilbert Islands and the stations on the Mortlocks, where native missionary teachers from Bonabe have been laboring. The Rev. Mr. Bingham, in his statement of missionary operations made in the Fort Street Church Sabbath evening, February 10th, remarked that the king and about fifty of the inhabitants of Apaiang had forwarded a request to the Rev. Mr. Taylor, to return from the United States and renew his work among them. A report had reached the island that he had been detained in the United States because of the unwillingness of his wife's mother to his return. If such was the case, the inhabitants of Apaiang invite her to come with her son-in-law ! Death of the Rev. P. J. Gulick and the Rev. J. S. Green. In our last issue a brief mention was made of the death of these two aged and venerable missionaries. They came to the islands in company on board the ship Parthian from Boston in 1828, having left there on the 3d November, 1827. Here they have labored on the different islands of this group, until the departure of Key. Mr. Gulick for Japan about three years ago. The ages of these missionaries were nearly the same, Mr. Gulick having been born in Freehold, N. J , March 12, 1796, and Mr. Grien December 20 of the same year, in Lebanon, Ct., hence both were about 81 years of age ; Mr. Gulick died in Kobe, Japan, December 8, 1577, and Mr. Green at Makawao, Maui, January 6, 1878. Both were graduates in the year 1827, Mr. Gulick of Princeton Theological Seminary, N.J., and Mr. Green of Andover Theological Seminary, Mass. They married wives the same year, the former September 5, and the latter September 20, 1827. Mr. Gulick spent his missionary life mostly on Kauai, Oahu and Alolokui, while Mr. Green labored for the most on Maui. In 1829 Mr. Green made an exploring trip to the Northwest Coast, also along the California!! Coast. Both have been earnest and faithful in their respective fields ol labor, and their memories will long be cherished by a wide circle of loving friends and relatives. Opinion of the Baptists respecting the Chinese.—ln the Minutes of the Baptist Association of Puget Sound and British Columbia, held in Victoria September, 1877, we find the following resolution ''Resolved, That we recognize the paramount Providence of God as controlling the coming of the Chinese to our shores, and into the households of America; that we recognize before God no superiority of a lost American over a lost Chinese, if there bo any difference at all between them ; and that we understand it to be the duty of ourselves : and alt other Christians, thus to rpcognize the equality of ourselves and the Chinese that are lost sinners before God, and joyfully and heartily and with thanksgiving, to embrace every opportunity which Christ by His mighty power may give us to be his faithful embassadors to them." " Day "—This is the name of the missionary vessel cruising among the islands of the New Hebride group We would acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the Fourteenth Annual Report of the cruising of this vessel, issued in Sydney, and forwarded by th« Rev. Dr. Steel. We rejoice to learn that success attends their enterprise among the Polynesian Islands. Spring. �THE FRIEND, ADVERTISEMENTS. TO THE PUBLIC! Si.

In this part of China ihe harvest of 1876 was uousually short. The consequence was considerable Buffering from famine. Reports from Shantung, Cbihli, and Sbansi, state that tbe famine Ibis winter is far worse than that of last year. The full eitent of tbe distress is not yet known, but Ihe estimated area of ibe provinces mimed, is 180.000 square miles, aud tbe population embraces 70,000,-iiiM) people. The condition ol the people, owing to the severity of the winter, and the entire want of provision is terrible. No doubt thousands lire perishing now. but timely aid will Buccour many. This people expressed u most lively grulitude lor aid rendered lliein last season, and it is reasonable, therefore, to suppose that they will lie equally impressed by assistance in their present distress. I make this appeal to the gene.ros.ily of the Hawaiians. because I am personally most intimately acquainted with them. Among them the first light ol civilization dawned upon me. Having enjoyed their advancement and generous friendship through u space of eight years, from 1864 to 1872. I naturally feel closely allied and indebted to them. From them I gained the first rudiments of my education, and although I have been away from them for live years, I still cherish the most lively gratitude lor favors done me. aud shall ever have tbe welfare of their interest at In-art. Having received so many kindnesses from tbem myself. I am emboldened to implore aid in behalf of my Btarving countrymen. When tbe United States and the countries ol Europe are heeding the heart-rending cry of their fellow men, I feel assured that the noblehearted, generous Huwaiians, will not turn a deaf ear. but will render all assistance in their power. And it is my belief, as it is my most earnest desire, that such an action upon tbe part of your people, will result in a closer alliance of the two nations. All donations will be most thankfully received and instantly forwarded to the destitute, by my father, Along, in tbe city of Honolulu. Chun Lung. Yours truly. Vale College, Dec. 27th. 1877. Russia is the only nation in Europe which does not adopt the new for the oil style, and hence her calendar varies from that of other To the Editor of the Friend : Dr. Somerville, the 24 ChYMrisoetuann'gHAocf onolulu. Evangelist.—From the New Zealand Herald of February 4th, we learn that Dr. Somerville, of the Free Church of Glasgow, is now laboring in Auckland. There was a most happy union of the following denominations of Christians in that city, who extended a cordial invitation to him lo labor, viz.: Church of England, Congregational, Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Baptist, Primitive Methodist, and United Methodist. He had addressed the Y. M. C. Association upon this topic, " The Fiery Furnace." Alter the lecture there was a great addition of members and funds. We hope to see Dr. Somerville this way. The Profane Swearer a Coward.—A man of this stamp once said that he was not afraid to swear in any place or at any time. A by-stander offers him ten dollars to repair midnight to the grave-yard, and repeat his oaths. Night came, he wns found at the spot, but poor man, he was silent! There is something so mean and cowardly about profanity, that the profane swearer should exclude himself from all decent nnd respectable society, or refrain from his blatant oaths. at Dr. S. Wells Williams stated at Providence that when he first went to China it was considered that no foreigners could compass the language of Confucius. He also said that the Chinese are not likely to come to this country in large numbers, and that those who have come are all, or nearly all, from a tract of country no larger than Rhode Island. The Pacific, he thinks, is to become in the next century as great a thoroughfare Sin:—Tbe above true statement of the condition of tbe people of Northern China, has been receivby me from my y>n with a request that I would A meeting of the Honolulu Y.

Castle, read open tbeir hearts and generously respond to tbe the proceedings of the previous meeting, which were approved. Reports of Committees then followed. During the meeting Mr. T. R. Walker read some interesting extracts from a journal which he kept while on a trip from England to Egypt, some parts of which were very graphic and descriptive of scenes in France, Malta, and Egypt. His sketches of scenes on the Nile were exceedingly truthful, and when he came to speak of the Pyramids, Cairo and its inhabitants, we thought him very happy.

Foreign Pastor at Kohala.—Most heartily we rejoice in the arrival of a minister of the Gospel, to labor among the foreign population of Kohala, Hawaii. We copy the following testimonial from the Pacific: " The Rev. I. W. Atherton, till recently pastor at Cloverdale, sailed from this port Dec. 31st, for the Hawaiian kingdom, there to become the pastor of the church at Kohala, on the island of Hawaii, a church composed mainly of those of American and European origin. Mr. Atherton has been a very useful man among us these years, and an efficient and faithful minister. We shall miss his presence. We commend him to the people to whom he goes, and to the Master whom he serves." A State Convention of the Y. M. C. Association at Cedar Rapids, lowa, Oct. 11-14. The interest was good and daily meetings were held after the Convention adjourned. Mr. C. S. Billings, a missionary of the American Sunday School Union, rendered excellent service in the children's meetings. At Barcelona, Valladolid and Santander, Spain, Y. M. C. Associations have been organized though not without trouble, and yet they have to contend against great fanaticism. The next conference of the Y. M. C. Associations of all lands will be held at Geneva this year. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

APRIL 1. Editor's Table.—Two most interesting nnd entertaining books have been placed upon our table during the past month,—Hamlin's "Among the Turks " and Pomander's "The Polynesian Kace." Both demand more space and time than this issue of our sheet will allow, but at some future time, these books will receive due notice. We should hardly be willing to admit that our interest in the examinations at Punahou increases because we may be passing on towards " second childhood," yet we confess to a very deep interest in these exercises. Being present at the close of the second term of the current year, we can testify respecting the efficiency of teachers and diligence of the pupils. While sincerely regretting that the President and present assistants retire at the close of the current year, yet we are assured that the Trustees have made such arrangements as to fully secure the usefulness and success of the institution in the future. The Rev. Mr. Jones of Oakland is to become the future President, and Mr. Adams, a graduate of Amherst College, his assistant. Lady teachers are also secured. 1878. A Lie Overtaken.—lt was old Dr. Beecher, we think, who said, that it was useless to chase n lie, for it could not be caught! Some weeks ago,—Dec. 22d—the following paragraph appeared in one of our Island weeklies: " Who, I ask, may be disposed to keep the Lotd's Day more perfect than Ministers of the Gospel—the teachers of the Westminister Sabbath Law, and why then is it, that to-dny there nre seventeen of those perfect Christians in "Auburn"? more than in all the German Empire." Signed, " Cosmopolitan." We ascertained thatthis statement was based upon a paragraph in the S. F. Chronicle, stating the number at ''27," and that the Chronicle based its assertion upon the Atheistical newspaper of Boston, the Investigator. Naturally feeling a little sensitive about this statement, thus reflecting upon Clergymen, we addressed a note to the Chaplain of the Auburn Prison, and received the following reply : Orrica, Auaras Prison.

We find in reading European History that the saloon hns played almost as conspicuous a part as the battle-field, and that if anyone would paint an accurate picture of any epoch he should study not simply the oracular decrees of cabinets and the tape-tied enactments of legislative bodies, but as well those brilliant paces written over with descriptions of so:ial life and royal merrymakings, in which emperors and kings, past and present, have played so conspicuous a part. Hence, in telling you a little of what is passing in this "Old World," it may not be wholly out of place for me to send you a few words as to how the very brilliant court of one of the foremost nations, politically and intellectually, of our day, amuses itself in its hours of relaxation. In a few capitals, that you could count on your fingers, European social life reaches its acme, and Berlin, with its Emperor and Empress, with its extensive Imperial Family, standing at the head of a great nation, in the full tide of success and victory, and with boundless hope of the future, is surpassed by none of. these. The world has long ago learned that life is not a perpetual holiday to kings and queens and that crowns and happiness do noOilways go together. But here lam finding thai an Emperor and Empress can combine the pleasure and business of life in a manner which seems eminently sensible and agreeable, and can turn from the thousand thorny and perplexing affairs of state with an evident zest of social joy and recreation. Just now, Berlin is especially brilliant, perhaps never more so, and the winter, which according to the calendar ought to have been here long ago, has never shown its icy lace, and here in thf far north, genial suns and skies are warming us, so that both indoors and out it is equally charming. la the midst of it all, it seems a little difficult to realize that Italy's first King is really dead and that at last the old Pope is gone where human infallibility serves as scanty covering; that war-shadows are flying over England and that the Russians stand so near the gates of Constantinople. But nations are like individuals, and while Italy is draped in black, Spain and its royal couple rejoice in wedding-wreaths and bull-fights. And here, we are all awaiting with interest tbe �26 111 h FRIEND, marriages of two young Princesses of the Imperial house, which form the especially unique and interesting feature of this year's season. The Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Crown-Prince and Princess, and grand-daughter of tbe Emperor and Empress of Germany nnd of Queen Victoria of England, is to be married to the young Prince of Meinigen, and the Princess Elizabeth, grand-niece of the Emperor, to the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. The marriages will orcur in a few days and there have been u series of Imperial ceremonies and entertainments for a week or two pnst which served as a kind of prelude to those which the wisely instructed say, are yet to come. First there was " The Order-Day " when nil those who wore any of the German decorations or orders repaired to the Pulace where there were imposing ceremonies. Then came a grand court recpption, which would in England be called, I imagine, a " DrawingJioom," in which there were trains and pages without end. And then the great Imperial Schloss (Palace) was again thrown open, and the Emperor and Empress were host and hostess to a thousand or more guests. Viewed artistically, such a fete as this would be prolific in splendid suggestions, in sudden revelations of beautiful combinations of color, of light and shade, of a thousand inviting scenes for a painter's brush. Be patient with my description done in s mple black and white Were 1 deft enough to use gold and crimson, silver and azure, I would send you a far more fitting picture. Let your thoughts and fancy lend color as you read. You would never imagine that the grim, gray, age-stnined, old Schloss could from such a chrysalis expand into such n gorgeous butter-fly as it does under the imperial and magical touch. It is a great, silent, enchanted atone world, standing in its solitariness, motionless, hushed and mysterious, until on the night of n grand court-ball it wakes into a marvelous life mid seems to throb with a wonderful dumb joy. It is used by the Imperial family only on -state occasions, as they live in their own smaller pulaces in different parts of the city. It is an enormous affair architecturally. Just let us look well at it as it looms up in the still might-air and this is a good opportunity as our carriage has come to a dead-block with hundreds of other wheels and our coachman must wait his turn, obedient to the frantic gesticulations and cries of the guards and police on horse and foot. I think that it must wonder in its old age at all these modern merry-makings, for in its young days it saw far different times and scenes and faces, far back then in the days of the Electors, hundred of years ago, when Berlin counted its population by thousands as it does now by hundreds of thousands. It is a great, gigantic square building, surmounted by an enormous dome, topped by a gilded cross, over the castle chapel, and contains some six hundred rooms, enough, I am sure you will say. There are worn and crumbling carvings and statues and armorial insignia on the exterior and on one side a wing runs down by the River Spree, and its picturesque gables are green with ivy. Hundreds of windows are aglow to-night and send down their friendly greeting to us. And now we lI'KIL. 1878. are beginning to move on, and our wheels are ringing on the pavements of the*interior court and we hove passed the splendid bronze statue of " St. George and the Dragon " and are at the entrance-portnl. Opening of doors, shouting of footmen and flunkies and we have in u twinkling left the cold night-air behind us, and are standing in the midst of warm lights and surrounded by anything but spectral figures. A splendid row of soldiers stand at the entrance in brilliant dress and we pass them and begin the ascent of the long wide sinir-ciises, and traverse the endless labyrinth of rooms,galleries, and halls to the '• White Saloon " where the gathering of the evening is to tnke place. To one who has never experienced the endlessness" of a great palace it is fur from easy to convey an idea of the vast extent of one of the Royal European palaces. You can scarcely credit it thut these countless rooms, wiih their heavy draperies, shadowy portraits and glittering candelabra are nil in the some building. They open up before you in long vistas and you wonder where the end can be. Before each door stand guards, motionless, mute as statues without the movement of a muscle. What splendid, huge fellows they are, bom and bred perhaps in the heart of some German forest and trained with the magnificent training of the German military service! With their white and scarlet uniforms and glittering swords they are n magnificent ornament to these princely rooms. We follow the tide that is sweeping onward, ladies in the unruffled freshness of their evening's costume and officers in full unform and now following this long gallery with its pictures, nnd flowers and tapers, we some into the grand "White Snloon " where ninny have already assembled. We are in full time, so that we can see the forming of the brilli ■ nt circle to meet the Emperor nnd Empress. There is nn eacer rushing of courtiers and chamberlains hither and thither, pompous in gold nnd dignity, directions given in French nnd German and English, but at last every one is in her or his right place and everybody is smiling in'the most good nntured manner possible and evidently prepared to enjoy the evening. Now that the head Chamberlain has gotten us nil into such excellent order, we can see that we are standing in a great saloon, with lofty ceiling and elaborate carvings and frescoes whose coloring is relieved by the prevailing white. There are thousands of lights, glenming in the crystal chandeliers. Two galleries face each other, one for the musicians and one where we shall go later. There are statues of Victory, of Brandenburg electors, emblematic figures in niches, etc. At one side is a rnised platform with the imperial chairs and surmounted by a fringed dais. What a capital place to study geography and ethnography ! All the Diplomatic, corps are here and as they form a grand half-circle at one end ol the Saloon, you may travel round the world irl even shorter time than it would take Puck to girdle it. On one side are the ladies, on the other, the gentlemen. There are the English, the Russian, the Austrian, the Turkish Ambassadors, the Italian not appearing. Following the line come Ministers, Envoys, Charge's d'Affaires, Secretaries, Attaches, " without number. Really it is n most picturesque "group! The Russian uniform in silver and blue, is especially marked among those in gold. There are the Turks in their red " fez " caps and elaborate Eastern embroideries. There come glittering orders and bands, and ribbons. You stop for a moment to look at the Japanese, who have doffed their national costume and appear in European dress. (They find something more than dress here, for the Japanese Minister has been so happy as to find a German lady, who has married this stranger from those far-off Islands.) Then just notice that little gentleman with soft, gray hair nnd quiet eyes on the left, almost hurried under stnrs and orders. He is the Minister from Greece, and very wise and learned, somebody is telling us. lam sure you would be pleased to see how interested he is in our Islands. Then is the Representative from Chirm with his train of secretaries and interpreters. Every one is looking at them, their peculiar dresj making them very conspicuous, but they seem quite equal to the occasion. Here is a bit of geographical fitness. On this side is China and just a little beyond, the gentlemen of the American Legation in their severe Democratic black-suits, and between, //nirnii is placed. So you see, you are represented in a peculiarly geographical manner. But 1 may weary you with these details and it is higii time to be thinking of something else. For there is a rapping and a tapping of official staffs nnd wands, and a general air of expectancy pervading the room and now the ladies on the opposite side nre bending and curteysing in the most elaborate manner and we know that the Emperor and Empress have arrived. Whatever diversity of opinions there may be about the " divine right" of Kings, there is no diversity of opinion in reference to the homage due a sovereign who in addition to n hereditary dignity, is crowned with the kindliness of irue manhood, and William I of Prussia, who sits on perhaps the most powerful throne of the present day, may lay claim to both. There is an excellent opportunity for studying his face as he stands pleasantly chatting with the ladies of tbe English nnd Austrian Ambassadors, and then passes down the line with a kindly nod here and there. He bears his years with a grace which few men of his, age do. It seems scarcely possible that he is eighty-one years o!d, for he stnnds so erect nnd his eye is as bright and merry as n boy's. Can you remember your young days when it seemed as if Emperors always went around with crowns on their bends, and wearing Sweeping purple velvet trains bordered with ermine nnd holding a gold ball in one hand ? Some how they seem to have gotten bravely over nil that in these demoralized times and 1 think they must be immensely more comfortable in these days. Our Emperor is very simply dressed to-night, ■ simple red military coat with belt and white .military trowsers and the smallest of spurs on his boots. You have so offerv seen his portrait that his face must have grown very familiar to you by this time. His pictures arc wonderfully true 1 find. His hair is almost white, and the lower part of his face looks out from grayish-white whiskors. It seems to me a kindly fare, and just now wreathed in smiles, fairly �THE ¥lIX I U brimming over with good humor. He is the very personification of a large-hearted father as he stands in the midst of his court. I have since seen his face when an almost weary look stole over it and I felt after all in the midst of all this brilliancy the cares and burden of office were sometimes heavy In this prevailing peace and joyousness, it is a strain on the imagination to picture this cheery Imperial host, in battle-fields, and at sieges, surrounded by the din and carnage with which the history of the past ten or .fifteen years has led us to associate him. I am glad to have seen him enjoying the peace and repose of these better days and I trust now that the smoke of battle and clouds of war have cleared away, that Ins sunset will be bright arid beautiful. He has a kindly word for every one and pusses the long line as gracefully as he was wont formerly to ride his war-horse firmly. The Empress is just behind. It is but natural to notice what she wears, and it is so brilliant a toilette, that even the men ore studying it as it is very beautiful with gold embroideries and long wreaths of white water-lilies and dark leaves. But the jewels are imperial. There is a diadem of diaabout her neck the Empress ountless precious stones, the dress is places studded with diamonds and mernlds, and in the heart of the lund tes eat gleam and glitter diamonds, drops of dew in the sun- My eyes are not accustomed to such ing, brilliant show which must be use for an excursion into a domain iy descriptions are not wont to lead Empress is no longer young, but ies herself in a very queenly manner evening welcomes her guests in a ich I think many a hostess in a less position would do well to imitate, who interests herself in her i lady in literature, and brings the charm of ducation to adorn her position.

It all has its political and official significance I imagine, and prob.ibly word of it went flying over the wires to different governments before many hours had passed Now we are at liberty to got wherever we wish, the great palace is at our service, and we will avail ourselves of this opportunity. The music is filling the air and the dancers the floor. There is a deliciously cool breath of air for us by the fountains just outside the great saloon, and the water flashes and murmurs in the most inviting manner. There arc groupings of dark green shrubs and caineli.ib in bloom. The gas shines in , IPIt I L . 1878% soft light from globes of glass. From the gallery above we have a most varied and knleidiscopic view. It is a sea of jColor. The many and varied uniforms of the Prussian officers are an immense addition ; there are Hussars and Uhlans and Guards and at every turn some new flash of red or white or gold may be seen. The many tinted dresses of the ladies, the lustre of jewels, the long line of pages, the countless stars and orders und decorations of generals and ambassadors, make up a wonderfully brilliant scene. The whole Court is here, the garrisons of Berlin, ot Potsdam, of Spandau, Princes from different parts of the Empire, city officials in their robes of office, the flower and beauty of Prussia, one must be very much of an ascetic not to enjoy it. The Empress and Crown-Princess are sitting upon the dais together ; the Emperor is not fur away talking with some princess, the young Princesses are on the floor with their young " bridegrooms" as they say in Germany before the marriage. Neorer us is Prince Carl the brother of the Emperor, feeling I imagine sad at heart in the midst of all this gaiety. For he has lately lost his wife, and during the audience which he kindly gave us the other day, he told us how dear she had been to him and with tears gathering in his eyes he said he had hoped to have celebrated their golden wedding, but that she was taken away just before. You cannot but feel a great throb of sympathy for this kindly widowed heart which shows its warm humanity under the ermine. Then the great company sways to the Imperial supper room where they are imperially cared for, and then return through the long picture-gallery with its bright lights. There are some splendid paintings, among which I notice especially that of the triumphant Coronation of the Emperor at Versailles, at the end of the Franco-Prussian war, amid the acclamations of his asssembletl generals, and that portraying the return of the Emperor, as victor to Berlin nnd his enthusiastic reception here.' Both paintings are of enormous size and splendidly finished. The court-mandate sets an early and sensible hour for departure, so thot immediately on the withdrawal of the Emperor and Empress the pageant of the evening is concluded. So we too leave the old Schloss to its quiet and peaceful meditation until another evening. The chatty, pleasant little Chinese secretary who speaks French says to me in his funny Chinese-Parisian style " hon-nuit" und "pleasant dreams," and I come away assured that always among my brightest dreams will be that of the " White Saloon" in the Imperial Schloss. Shortly after this evening of which I have been telling you we were again at the Schloss and this time by invitation of the Crown-Prince and Princess. An entirely new and different suite of rooms was thrown opjti. so that you might have fancied you were in entirely another building. It was in many respects a repetition of the entertainment given by the Emperor, and was most beautiful and brilliant. The Prince and Princess are a noble looking couple The Prince is a tall splendidly formed man, promising to fill well his father's place. The Princess is thoroughly English in face und figure and retains well the fresh- 27 ness of girlhood, so that it is a little difficult to realize that the young princess, who accompanies her in her tour of the room, is her daughter and is to be married in a few days. 1 fancy the Princess resemble') her mother Queen Victoria somewhat, as she was in her younger days. The young Prince, "Our Fritz." is the idol of Germany and the inspiration of Young Prussia. Certainly Germany has much to encourage her in the thought of her future Emperor and Empress. Not to detain you'too long with descriptions, I will just mention en. paeuiant another evening at the Emperor's private palace and then close. This was, I think, the most delightful fete we have attended. It was far smaller than those of which I have been speaking and hod, I might say, a more •' home like " aspect than tbe others. The pilace is situated on the superb avenue Unter den Linden," the center of every"thing in Berlin. Just facing it, as a kind of perpetual inspiration, is Ranch's wonderful equestrian Statue of Frederic the Great, acknowledged to be the finest thing of its kind in Europe. Never have I seen anything more exquisitely graceful and symmetrical than this. But of this another time. This palace is emphatically the of the Emperor and he was most " home truly "at home" to his guests. There was here none of the magnificent interminableness of the castle, but a more restful beauty. In the center of the palace was a most beautiful " winter-garden," the most inviting tropical nook in Berlin. There were great fanpalms and bananas, beautiful ferns and mosses, white marble statues half hidden i a wreath of clinging verdure and from han, ing lamps fell a soft, half lijjht which ren tiered this spot peculiarly charming. 1 wa especially interested in one beautifully fu nished room, which 1 should judge was th writing-room of the Emperor or Empres Nothing could have been in more perfec taste than the arrangements of vines ant flowers. You lost the sense of being withi doors. Over the writing-table was area bower of ivy and it curled and twined it rich leaves as if it enjoyed the atmosphen For those who wearied of watching th dancing, there were rooms with bronze rare glass and plate, malachite ornamen many pictures to study, and then above a there were single faces and groups that now here and now there you could study. This is but a poor outline of what I would like to send you, but 1 told you at the beginning it would have to be done in black and white, —and not in fitting colors. Berlin lins just welcomed the new French Ambassador and with so sincere a cordiality that 1 hope this will help with many other things to bind up tbe old wounds and tend to perpetuate pence. Bismarck still remains in the enjoyment of his furlough in the seclusion of his country home at Barzin. But it is now understood that he will shortly come to Berlin, and I trust I may be able to see this remarkable man, the most remarkable to my thinking, of our day. The Reichstag is now in session, having been opened a day or two since, so that Berlin has its work to attend to as well as its " F. W. Damon. amusement. Hawaiian Legation, Berlin, Feb.

Take, for examGoethe's Predictions. In Eckermann's report of a conversation held with the German Poet Goethe, on the 21st of Feb. 1827, we find the following: " It may be foreseen that this young state (U. S. of America) with its decided predilection to the West, will in thirty or forty years, have occupied and peopled the large tract of land beyond the Rocky Mountains. It may further be foreseen that along the western coast of the Pacific Ocean, where nature has already formed the most capacious bays and secure harbors, important commercial towns will gradually rise, for the furtherance of great intercourse between China and the East Indies and the United States. I therefore repeat, that it is absolutely indispensable for the United States to effect a passage from the Mexican Gulf to the Pacific Ocean. Would that I might see it, but 1 shall not.

Master Walter Austin.—A few months ago, we noticed the fact that Judge Austin's oldest son bore off the Gold .tiedal in the famous Chauncy Hall School of Boston. In a late Boston paper, we notice that his brother Walter, has successfully competed for the first Silver Medal, in the same school This youthful student—Master Walter— will be remembered in Honolulu as nrrnyed in " military garb," in the days of the " Antiques and Horribles." Copt. Colcord having resigned command of the Morning Star, a new Captain has been selected in Boston, and will arrive in season for the sailing of the vessel on or about June 10.

That is a book to make an American feel proud of the literary stnndingof his countrymen when they visit the nations of Europe. Ticknor might almost be said to have enjoyed the freedom, not of one European city, but of all Europe. In the " Republic of Letters " Ticknor won the highest honors. For the Paris Exposition.—Mon. Bal- lieu deserves much credit for his zeal in gathering materials for the Paris Exposition. Through the aid of the Rev. Mr. Bingham he sends copies of publications, in Hawaiian and several Micronesian dialects. A model of the Hawaiian Islands, upon which Mon. B. has been at work for years, will be there on exhibition. It is prepared in plaster of Paris —the altitude of the mountains above sealevel will be as 1-8 of an inch to 1,000 feet and the area, as 1 square foot to 360,000. English language, and their knowledge of the meaning of the Scriptures. Dr. Hyde is manifestly " the right man in the right place." Although he has been here less than one year, yet he hus become a good Hawaiian scholar, both writing and speaking the language with ease. A majority of the pupils are married, and we learn that Mrs. Hyde and Mrs. Bingham give instructions to the wives of the young men. Surely the prospects of this Seminary are encouraging and a step was taken in the right direction when the American Board sent forth Dr. Hyde on his mission to the Hawaiian Churches, and to educate young men to become Pastors of these Churches.

Dear Friend: —I may have told you of a wonderful work of grace in a government school, taught by Captain Jones, a pious American. As the Bible was not allowed in the school room, he invited the pupils to his own house, and there taught out of the Scripture*. There were some 20(1 in the school, and through the divine blessing on his efforts, between thirty and forty were hopefully converted, and nearly nil of them were for a time bitterly persecuted by their relatives and school-mates; but very few if any, forsake their Saviour. Nearly thirty of them are now in the school at Kiyoto preparing for the ministry. They preach in niiiiiy private houses in that city in term time, and in vacation publish the gospel in many distant places, where foreign missionaries could not well go. Below I give extracts from a letter of one of them, to Miss Starkweather, who with Mr. Davis and his family, the principal of the school at K. was recreating on a neighboring mountain. The writer, for hisfaith in Christ, suffered imprisonment, it is tuiil, 120 days. lie thus wrote : "Dearly beloved sister,—I had so many things in my mind, I cnuld not choose what is best to write. But first, be thankful to God our Father, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, for He is the source of happiness, mercy and peace, wherein we live through all eternity. The more I grow in faith, the more I (eel that special grace of God shown upon my soul, while 1 was yet in my native province. From that time 1 could not be still in my mind, but told first to my friends, and then to my relatives ami family around me. They laughed at me, and told me that madness had entered my mind. Not only this, but they attempted to take my faith in Christ. Wherefore I fought with all my might against this devilish enemy. "During all this time (iml was always watching my work, and when the proper time for deliverance has arrived He has lent His hand to me, by which I was delivered from the hand of the enemy and their evil intent; and I was sent by God's will unto you all, my helpers in faith, which 1 had before. Yet since I had known that the Lord Jesus is our Saviour, and have experienced His work in my soul, I not only rejoice in the salvation of my soul, b»t look for the salvation of my countrymen. For which cause I have left all my worldly opportunities and associations, nnd entered into the holy work of my heavenly Father. •• Oh my dear sister, this (viz., to be a preacher) i* my determination, since I have caught the first .glimpse of the sun of . APRIL 1878. glory rising above the horizon of this country ; for I could not look upon the misery of my brethren without great heuviness and sorrow in my heart. Yet, though I am standing in the midst of my" dead brethren, lam not without hope in future. God has not forsaken this nation. Even for this very purpose you were sent, by the will of God, to this country to help us in this work. Yes, help us a thousand times, help us! for we are weak both in faith anil in deed in the midst of wolves and lions. The young men of Japan are fast preparing for our future struggle, by the help of the Holy Ghost. We will stand therefore, having our loins girt nbout with truth nnd having on the breast-plate of righteousness. And above nil, taking the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit; and thus will march under the great general, Jesus Christ, through the midst of devilish foes against Satan, —to destroy tiis work, for his work is sin, and by it he will slay us unto eternal death. Thus having finished the destruction of his work in the souls of men, we will return to our heavenly home, glorifying God our Father, who is sitting on the throne of glory, and our elder Brother on His right hand, with nil the saints who have come before us, nnd wear the crown of glory, with which we will shine like the stars of heaven forever,— Amen. We are thirsting for the living water, which U refreshing to us in our spiritual journey to heaven. Please give my best regards to .Mr. Davis nnd others in the mountains. All my brethren who are with me, say,— Yoroshikn, (viz., regards) to you. "From 11. Kana.miwki. Kiyoto, Japan." " The missionary work, according to report, continues to b?i blessed at all the stations, except Nagasaki. There they are interrupted by the civil war, the scene Of which is near to it. We trust that this war is nearly finished. The church at Kobe now numbers 97, nineteen having been dismissed this yeur to other churches. The little church at Sanda, of 2S members, has just built a house for divine service, costing With the premises 8400,—51 lpaid. They received $100 from their countrymen in other places, and $100 from foreigners. 1 think the Japanese show a very commendable disposition to help themselves, considering their poverty. A common laborer will work for 25 cents a day and find his own provisions; and other things are about in the same proportions. As ever yours, sincerely, P. J. Golick. The King of the Friendly Islands, in the South Seas, last year, proclaimed a public holiday on the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Wesleynn mission on those The Basel Mission in China. As among recent Chinese immigrants there has been a good percentage of professing Christians and Christian families, we have thought our island readers would be interested IB some brief statement respecting the mission in China, from which this Christian element has principally been sent forth. A large majority of the professing Christians from China bringing certificates of churchineuibership, are from the Basel mission, and signed for the most part by the Rev. R. Lecher From the Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal for January, 1676, we learn that " The Basel Mission " in Hongkong and other districts, " Barmen Mission," and the " Berlin Men's Union " of China, owe their origin to the enthusiastic efforts and labors of the great and early missionary Gutzlair, who labored in China prior to 1851, when he died, but before his death he visited Europe and awakened ■ missionary spirit in Switzerland und Germany in behalf of China. One of the fruits of this good work, was the establishment of the Basel Mission, which in 1876 had n stall' of eight German and two Chinese ordained missionaries. A majority of these are laboring in the interior of China, three hundred miles distant from Hongkong, The Basel Mission makes Hongkong its center, where there is a large church of !»1S members in full communion, also ■ large Kbool for Christian girls, and in the interior there is a training-school fur native pastors, We bare received B long and interesting letter from the Bey. R. Lecher, written since the sailing from Hongkong of the AitgiiKte, bringing so large a number of prolessing Christians. The missionary refers most kindly nml tenderly to these Christian neophytes, who have left his watch and care, to seek u livelihood in these islands. We are gratified to learn that the greater part of these immigrants have gone to the district of Kohalti, Hawaii, where they will meet those who came one year ago. It is also highly gratifying that among them came several who have ncted as ixhnrters in China. One, Kou Tet Yin, has been employed for years as nn Evangelist, nnd at one time labored near Sydney, N. S. W., in the Diocese of the Bishop of the English Church, and brings a certificate of Christian zenl from that functionary. This man has already been employed to go to Kohnla and labor among his countrymen, under the direction of Rev.'Mr. Bond. Health Seekers.—By the Zealandia. arrived and left, for England, the Rev. H. Greenwood, a Wesleyan Minister, of Victoria, Australia, who had been for a number of years a missionary on the Tonga Islands, also, the Rev. H. Fennick, of Darlington, England, a Wesleyan Minister, who ismnking a tour around the world. �ADVERTISEMENTS. L.. HANt lIICTTE, J• ,. I'li.no-Forln I mirr A.

He was educated at Rugby, and was a member of the University of Cambridge. A distinguished scholar, a member of the Institute, he is alive to all the requirements of the science of the day. Dr. Pressense Yon Schlumembach, Secretary of the C.

BAUBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 16 33 THE RECENT ROYAL MARRIAGES IN BERLIN A MODERN HISTORICAL PAINTING. In my last to you, dear Friend, I mentioned that all Berlin was looking forward with earnest interest to the marriages of two young princesses of the Royal House of Hotienzollern, for which occasion most brilliant fetes were preparing. What was then an anticipation, has now become a memory, and passed into that long historical picture-gallery, where such events find a fitting place. As one of the most recent additions to the long series of paintings of a somewhat similar nature which adorn the walls of the Jrussian section of the some stately edifice, and from the fact that it has been one of the foremost events of this year's history of a people who are daily claiming a larger and larger share of the world's attention, a brief mention of the marriages, and of the fetes which cluitered about them, may not be uninteresting to you, and your readers. So recently have the colors been laid on, and so short is the perspective, that the interest which will enhance the value of the painting to those who shall come in after dnys, when time has mellowed and deepened the tints and given it the proper artistic distances, must of necessity be lacking to you. But still with the crude lights of the present upon it, it is interesting to think that those who were the chief actors in these brilliant scenes, are not the ghosts of a vanished past, but sharers with us in all that which goes to make up the history of the day in which we live. The picture in tho gallery is of interest, but the drawing of it on the artist's canvas still more so. Historical reading and travel in historic lands tend to strengthen one's belief in a dual existence; or, History repeating itself. In a land where the very air seems freighted with tbe past, you stand in one brilliant throng of to-day, and looking away a moment from your companion see a thousand new faces, in costumes of some olden time; the air is full of modern melodies, chiming with others which break upon you from some far distant scene of revelry; the rustle and murmur of the present never conflict with the deeper tones which come to you �34 THE FRIEND, MAY, from tbe past; in defiance of all rules of philosophy two objects occupy the same place at the same moment. Did you ever read Carlyle's History ofsJ'reilerick the Great ? If so, and are unwilling to accept this " dual existence" theory, then let |ne warn you not to come to Berlin and not to accept any invitations to the old Schloss and its Imperial hospitalities. Take my word for it, you will become a thorough convert before you have time to air your heresies. You would not be here long before you acknowledged the magic power in his pen to make the past live again. To one who is not so fortunate as to come here, a large part of his great work must ever seem, enigmatic, ponderous, disjointed, full of-tremendous words and expressions like boulders which the fierce foamtopped waves of his genius have swept up and left bare and grotesque, nnd unsightly, on the shore of the printed page. But reading it here, it becomes one of the most facinating, most engaging books in existence, full of the most vivid, glowing descriptions. Few men have shown such power as Carlyle in this •' unique life." He is more than u "resurrectionist," bringing the sad reminders of the gnve,—he is a veritable magician who whirls you off to incidents which were taking place generations before you were born. He will, I fancy, become a constituent part of all 1 may write you from or of Berlin. Certainly when we climb the terraces of Sans Souci, or visit the many palaces of Potsdam, or live over the days of Frederick, of Voltaire, and a thousand lesser lights he becomes of necessity our Cicerone. For instance, just here you will pardon me for copying one or two sentences from a chapter open before me which seems as if it might almost have been written for the weddings which occurred a few days since, and not in reference to that of a Princess Wilhelraina away back on a long buried Tuesday 20th of November, 1731. How wonderfully the old and the new, the prist and the present, clasp hands in these pages read in sight of the Schloss, where both events occurred. The following might in the main, have been a photograph taken yesterday: Wedding was ot great magnificence; Berlin Palace aod all things and creatures at their brightest; the Brunswick Bcvorns here, and other high gucHta; no end of pompous ceremonials, sol oinn rites and splendours. The very train ol'one's gown was twelve yards long.' 'In fuel, the wedding went beautifully off with dancing and sublimities, slow, solemn. Torch dance to conclude with, in those unparalled upper rooms; grand aunt Meiningen and many other stars und rainbows witnessing; even the Margravine of Sohwedt was compelled to be there. Such viiiiugated splendour, such a dancing ol the constellations; sublunary Berlin, and all tho world on tiptoe round it! Slow torch dance, winding it up, melting into tbe shades of midnight for the time; and there was eilenoo in Berlin. Royal upartment, third floor of the Palace of Berlin, one must say lew things equal it in the world. From theputer saloon or anti-chaoihcr, called Salle dcs Suisses, (where the halbedior and valet people wait) you pass through six grand rooms, into a " ' saloon magnificently decorated; thence through two rooms more, and so on into what they call the Pioture Gallery, a room ninety feet long.

A more general congratulation was offered in the Red Velvet Chamber, whither the Royalties returned amid peals of sacred music. After a short interval, the Emperor and his Royal Consort moved again to the White Hall, and, ascending a dais in front of. the Throne, surrounded by the Royal Family and guests, gave a signal for what is technically called "La Cour." The ceremony consists in the whole assembly defiling severally past the Throne and bowing to the Emperor and Empress. The brides and bridegrooms, the Ambassadresses, Lady Odo Russell and Countess Karolyi, opened the stately array. The wives of the various Envoys and Secretaries followed. When the foreign ladies had passed, the wives of the German dignitaries preceded by Princess Bismarck, stepped forward. The feminine section of the pageant over, the gentlemen marched on in endless file. Who is to count the names and titles? Whose imagination is fertile enough to estimate the profuse amount of Stars and Orders paraded? It could not but remind one of the apposite remark of the Emperor Francis I.of Austria when admitting a host of foreign Generals to his presence —" Now let the firmament enter." As a characteristic of ancient Court manners, it may be observed that until very lately the Royalties at a wedding used to play whistwhile the Court was defiling past; but this worldly rite has been discontinued. A necessary interlude was the supper. The Royal personages partook ot it m the Knight's .Hall, while the guests had ample buffets to resort to in a whole suite of apartments. At the Koyal table Princes and Dukes handed about soup tureens nnd poured out the sparkling wine. These important functions are hereditary and appertain to some of the most distinguished lamilies in the land. A special leaturc of the entertainment was two towering wedding-cakeg ordered by the CrowD Princess from England, and much admired by those Teutonic personages who had never seen or tasted anything of the kind. When the soup was removed the Emperor gave the toast, " Abiding happiness to the newly married • r.ljul And " now ensued the famous ceremony peculiar to this Court known as the Fockeltanz, or torchlight procesupn.

While the company were dispersing, the ceremony of distributing tbe bride's garters—likewise a relic of iuodiaevnl times—was duly performed. The bride's garters are now-a-duys silk ribands bearing the lltttials of the young spouse." A DIPLOMATIC CALL ON THE KING AND QUEEN OF BELGIUM. As you might naturally imagine, the marriage fete, to which allusion has been made, would bring together a number of distinguished guests, at the head of which stood the King and Queen of Belgium and the Prince of Wales. The week in which the marriages occurred was one continuous succession of entertainments, ceremonies, etc., and among these may be mentioned the reception given by their Belgian Majesties to the Diplomatic corps. This took place in one of the rooms ofthe Schloss, whichthe King and Queen occupied during their visit here. Following a new flight of stairs, aud passing livened lackeys, we came to the reception room, overlooking the " Lust Garten," with a view towards the Museum with its lonic columns and statues. The room was not large nnd the "corps" formed a large circle, completely filling the sides of the room,— every one in full uniform, and the ladies in the most brilliant of Parisian costumes and bonnets, of every imaginable shade and tint —all expectancy, when a door at the side opens and the King and Queen enter. It promises to be a very pleasant way of meeting Royalty. The Belgian Minister introduces the King passing Irom one legation to another; tlie Baroness dc Nothomb, wife of the IV ier, parsing with the Queen to the ladies' side We have a good opportunity of watching the King, as he comes slowly down the line towards us. Now he is talking with the Chinese .Minister through an interpreter, and saying something very pleasantly about his once having been in China, earlier in life. And now it is our turn, and Hawaii makes a bow to Jlelgiwn. The King is in full uniform. He is tall, rather above the average heigth, with a face still young, refined in expression, the nose strikingly Roman. In some respects the King is one of the most interesting sovereigns of Europe. The interest which he manifests in the public good, in the advance of the race, etc., is amply attested by the numerous congresses which have taken ph>ce in bis ... ages ranged themselves on both sides, the ladies on the right and the gentlemen on the left. This preliminary duly settled, the Prussian Cabinet Ministers, headed by Prince Salu, the Grand Marshal ol the Court, approached the Emperor.

It was the land of those masters in painting, Rubens, Vandyke and Teniers, and within its borders lie those unique, quaint cities Ghent, Antwerp and Bruges, the delight of modern tourists and painters. So that we are for many reasons glad to have seen so pleasantly the Belgian King. He speaks English well, appears interested in our Hawaiian Islands, and expresses the most kindly hope that trade may be established between our two countries, —and then passes on. The Queen is now coining towards us, she wears a walking costume, something very fine and queenly undoubtedly, in delicateshades oflightest pink and blue. She speaks most pleasantly and also in English. And now most of the nations of the earth have been greeted by Belgium, and in turn given their greetings, and their Majesties retire slowly towards their apartments, and every one oows very low and the reception is over. AT THE BRITISH EMBASSY. Berlin was decidedly en fete for five or six days after the marriages. On nearly every day there was some grand dinner or entertainment and coaches and carriages were going constantly. In addition to whut has already been mentioned, there was on Wednesday evening at the Opera House, a grand representation for the Court and invited guests, of Mozart's opera of. " Titus;" and on Thursday evening, the British Embassy was thrown open, and on Friday evening, the old Schloss was bright with festivities. The English Embassy is a fine building on the Wilhelmstrasse, quite palatial in its furnishings. The presence of the Prince of Wales and Prince Arthur, with the Court of which the Crown Princess of England and of Germany is one of the brightest ornaments, rendered the occasion especially interesting. Lord Odo Russell, the head of the Embassy in Berlin, is a gentleman of extremely genial and agreeable manner^. We have, since the events narrated above, been favored with a brief visitfrom the Prince Imperial of Austria. At an entertainment given by the Emperor and Empress he was present and of course the lion of the evening. He is a pleasant young fellow of about nineteen years, and appeared well in his military uniform. At present, he seems to be seeing something of the world, fitting himself for his future Imperial throne, where the Hapsburgs have so long sat. I had the honor on this occasion of a brief conversation with the Emperor, translating in German for Mr. Carter. The old Emperor beamed upon us in the most benignant manner possible. The Empress' coronet was made up of such enormous pearls, that after this all others will seem small to me. The pear-shaped pendant pearls were especially beautiful. Yesterday was the Kaiser's birthday and a grand holiday. He was eighty-one years of age. Streets crowded, military music at noon, soldiers in splendid uniform, state dinners and entertainments, and after the night set in, splendid illuminations in the principal streets of the city.'

It passed over the central mountain range and come down on the south coast, sweeping trees, etc., before it. The rain was so heavy that considerable damage was done to the bridges through the swelling of the rivers. The wind and rain passed on in its circular course, striking the south end of Moorea and did much damage to houses and plantations there; but it was nt the Low Islands of the Puamotu Archipelago that the severity of the cyclone was lelt. Altogether, 1 believe ten white men were drowned, and at the Island of Kaukura 117 natives were swept away. Several schooners were wrecked and some large cutter boats too were lost.. Men who only a few hours before had a comfortable home were now, as it were, in a moment rendered houseless and homeless and dollar less. At Anna, the principal Island of the group, the distress was very great. It is reported that the sea rf.se, as it were, suddenly, and as a huge bank breaking with terribly destructive force on the land, sweeping everything before it. Copra and shell in the depots of the mercantile houses was all buried in the sand. The government residents and merchants' agents were all left houseless, and the people of that end of the island took refuge on a land mound, and there during the greater part of that night of suspense, when the fury of the storm was at its climax, the people were all crowded together on this mound, and even there they were threatened with destruction, for the seas rose to within two feet of its summit, but the daylight brought hope with it, and the fury of the storm was subsiding. Tho French cruiser Seyond was despatched almost immediately to the scene of this disaster with succor to the suffering. It turns out, that the Islands of Anaa, Rairoa and Kaukura were the greatest sufferers, and it is reported thut the loss in one place, a district alone, is estimated at 120,-000 dollars, and that 112,000cocoanut trees were destroyed. The loss sustained by the commerce and the government buildings, wharves and quays is not included in that estimate. It is said that on one island only one of our houses of commerce sustains a loss of about 22,000 dollars. I purposed writing to you also on the work of the Lord amongst us, but other duties call me off, and as the Marama leaves in a few hours, 1 shall have only time to say that we have just received news from Papua (New Guinea) of the safe arrival of the Key. J. Chalmers and Mrs. Chalmers, lafb of Rarotonga, in that interesting field of labor, they have gone into the very heart of heathenism and are determined in the strength of the Lord to win the people for his glory. They have already located all the teachers they had around them, and a vessel is expected in Rarotonga next month to fetch another band of our native brethren from our training institutions at Raiatea and Rarotonga to extend the borders of the field in Pspua. Our prayer is that their work may be prospered. Mr. Chalmers is no mean accession to the mission staff in Papua, his ten years of labor on Rarotonga have proved him to be "every inch " a missionary, and his robust constitution and never-flagging perseverance �THE well fit him for the work on which he has now entered, and I need scarcely say that he has our earnest prayers for his success. I amfcorry my letters to you are so few and far between, but it is unavoidable, as my duties are so numerous, and as our European staff is so reduced in our mission, I am compelled to make frequent visits to the leeward Islands, and am usually absent from Tahiti at least 3 months in the year.

Yet there abides in it the promise and potency of what is to come; for the Spirit of God is there brooding; th** Divine force energizing, compacting, organizing. It is the "evening" of preparation, the "night" of incubating forces, from which the fullness of the " morning " will spring. While tbe seer waits, the change cornea. The voice of God proclaims, »light be !" and light was. The rolling bulk of earth kindles into flaming glory. To the dazzled eye before the burning orb, the one vivid fact displaces all other thought—forbids observation of detail. Through the long day of ages earth flames on, until by condensation and radiation the outer vapors of the cooling and liquefying orb have ceased to shiue, and night again rests upon the scene. Anon a new change greets the seer. A grand transformation ii taking place. During the night of ages the liquid core of earth has cooled and crusted over. Now the masses o( ocean waters are being precipitated upon the new crust, until relieved of their heavieit burdens, the outer clouds, which before were massively pressed down, are now enabled to lift from earth's surface an arching expanse of waters above. Earth is at last fuirly differentiated from its vaporous inchoate form, though still buried in " fourth." The changes go on, still marked off" by celestial days—the days of God, not those of man. The periodic solar days enn have relevancy only to localized spots of earth. They have no relevancy to earth's suface as a whole. As a whole, earth knows no succession of solar day and night, but always rolls in the sunbeams. Earth as a whole is never without daytime. The creative " evening" is the long quiet preparatory working of the divinely ordered forces. The creative "morning" is the out-springing disclosure of the fullness of the earth's activities. Together, the evening and the morning make one day. On the fifth morning, all over the sun-lit world, the seer discerns—what perhaps on the third day the gloom had hid from sight, and on the fourth his sun-dazzled eyes had still failed to see—that the ocean and the air were swarming with countless forms of breath-life, reptiles and fishes, winged things and creeping things innumerable. Vast Saurians emerge from the deep. And from the same origin, congeners from the sea with fish nnd reptiles, the migrating armies of the birds fly across the face of the sky. The bright earth rejoices in the multitudinous lile of her children. One more lifting of the curtain. The sixth morning brings to the completed and beautified earth its final tenants, the higher animals, cattle, and every beast of the field. And last of all comes the crowning and consummating glory. Upon growth-life, and yet higher, upon breath-life, is superinduced one higher still, a life that is above nature, spirit-life which is divine. God evolves the iiiiimnl frame of man from earthly constituents previously formed, into the fit temple of that God-like shape He breathes His own divine life. Man stands in the majesty of his heaven-kindled spirit, a son of God. Earth is given to him for his dominion. The finislied world has received its Prince, and the six days' work is done. Have we been reciting Genesis ? Or were we making a summary of Geology/ Certainly we have strictly followed the order of Genesis. And just as truly have we substantially followed the accepted order of Geology. There has been but one notable discrepancy between (he two. There have been several correspondencies of detail so peculiar us not to be accounted for on any hypothesis that human phantasy or guess-work originated the story of the six days. The one discrepancy is the omission of Genesis to note the beginnings of animal life on the third day in the sea, as early as vegetable life on the land, whih Geology clearly teaches. But on the vision hypothesis, it would be strictly consistent, that during tho shrouded gloom of the third day, all marine life should be invisible in the panorama, while in the scene of the fourth day the glory of the unveiled heaven should wholly absorb the seer's attention and preclude observation of mundane life. It is notable, that on the fifth day, fish which are beneath the water, are not named, except by implica- tion. Thp coincidences of detail between Genesis and Geology are : Mrst, the existence above the firmament of a dense and ponderous stratum of waters, (or vapors) lifted up from the earth's surfnee, such as still enshrouds the planet Jupiter. Second, the unifiirm spread of ocean before the wrinkling up of the crust into dry land. Third, the continuance of the cloud-veil and absence of sunshine during a long period of plantgrowth. Fourth, the marine origin of birdlife. J'Tfth, the absence of Mammalia until the closing period. It seems safe to assert that no one orthesc five facts distinctly stated in Genesis, and so strangely verified by Geology, was at all likely to have been suggested by human fancy. Most of them were improbable in themselves without the light of a srience which belongs only to this century. So unnatural seemed some of the facts asserted, thut Bible students generally failed to attain distinct conception of them, until the light of Geology came to interpret. The waters above the firmament, what an insoluble puzzle ! No sun till after full-plant growth, how absurd! But " the testimony of the rocks" has come to aid. Obscurities are solved, and contradictions disappear. The record begins to stand in light. The witness which at first was hailed with triumph by enemies of the Bible, and by its friends was spurned as a foe to faith, has proved the best interpreter of Genesis. As the advent of the Messiah interpreted and harmonized the seemingly conflicting prophecies, and so proved that those prophecies were from no human guessing, but from Him who alone discerns the future, so likewise does the unravelling of the records sealed in the rocks explain and reconcile the seeming inconsistencies of the written record in Genesis, and prove that it was imparted to the prophet by Him who alone knew the secrets of Jkm aeons of the past. �APVUETIIIMBirTI.

" Y. M. C. A. Notes. The annual meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held at the residence of the retiring president, P. C. Jones, Thursday evening, April 25th. Meeting opened with prayer by Rev. S. C. Damon. The result of the election of officers for the coming year resulted as follows: President, C. M. Cooke; Vice President, B. F. Dillingham; Secretary, G. P. Castle; Treasurer, W. F. Damon. The following committees were appointed by the President: To take charge of the Reading RoonSSri the Sailors' Home—E. Dunscombe; Entertainment Committee—W. W. Hall, B. F. Dillingham; Chinese Mission—Rev. S. C. Damon, E. C. Damon, J. B. Atherton, S. B. Dole; Chinese Sunday School—J. B. Atherton. The report of the Treasurer shewed a healthy condition of our finances, having on hand a small balance at the end of the year. The Secretary's report was then read, after which followed the address of the retiring President. The address was very interesting, nnd gave a general idea of the work of the Association, and suggesting other things that might be done. Dr. C. M. Hyde gave some interesting sketches from the history of Sat Fan, the young Chinaman whom he is educating for missionary work among the Chinese here at the Islands. Rev. S. C. Damon made some interesting remarks about the work among the Chinese, and said that at present there are about one hundred and twenty Christian Chinese at the Islands. The meeting adjourned to the sujjper room, where a bountiful repast was served to the ladies and gentlemen present by our kind host and hostess. The occasion was a very pleasant one, and much enjoyed by all. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Bishop & Co 's New Banking House.— After twenty years' occupancy of apartments in the Makee Block, Bishop & Co. have removed to their new banking house. It is a beautiful building, reflecting much credit upon architect, mechanics and proprietors. We cannot withhold our approbation of the style of " bank-warming," for instead of the bank forwarded a donation of "$25a treat," to each of the following benevolent societies, viz.: Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, British Benevolent Society, American Belief Fund, and German Benevolent Society. We trust this may provoke others to similar good works. Persons not familiar with the usefulness of these associations, cannot imagine how much close financiering it requires to keep these societies in good and efficient running order. The "Hoola. Lahui" Fair,-—Opens today (June Ist) at 5 o'clock, on the grounds of Aliiolani Hale. This is a native benevolent society, under the patronage of their Majesties Kalakaua and Kapiolani.

Arrival ok the Storm Bird. —This vessel, about which there has been so much anxiety and many conjectures, arrived safely May 29th, bringing 86 immigrants from the Islands of Micronesia—63 males and 23 females—all in health; most are from Kotuma. When the inhabitants of those remote islands learned that the vessel was bound to Honolulu, or xhe Kingdom of Kalakaua, there was a great desire to migrate hither. —We learn from Rev. Mr. Bingham, Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, that favorable intelligence has been received from all the mission stations in Micronesia. On Maiana, one of the Gilbert Islands, a battle had been fought between the Christian and heathen parties, in which the former were victorious. The health of all the missionaries is good, except that of Mrs. Sturges on Ponape. About twenty of the immigrants per Storm Bird were from the Gilbert Isl- ands.

I have for many weeks been looking forward to a few moments of leisure, when I might tell you something of a delightful week in my traveling chronicles which was spent in visiting points of interest, historical and otherwise, lying on our route from the shores of the Rhine to the banks of the Spree. Berlin has in one or two of my last letters ot necessity claimed my attention, but now with the opening days of the beautiful spring-time, the brilliant winter pageants and festivities have ended, and I trust even now it may not be too late to sketch for you a few scenes of travel in the first days of this new year. So full of varied experiences, delightful realizations, and pleasant episodes was this same New Year's week, that for me, in that long list of weeks, of which time is weaving the years of our life-history, it will have a peculiar and especial beauty. Hence ydb will more readily pardon me for telling you the story of these few days, between which and the present, some months have scored themselves on the calendar, but which can really never grow old, illumined as they are in the light of pleasant memories. Should I attempt to tell you one-half of what I could and would, it might be too much for your patience and my time, hence 1 must hurry rapidly through much where 1 would fain tarry. In that millennial time for correspondents and letter-writers which the phonograph seems to be heralding, others may paint in full, what to-day we, hampered by tbe restrictions of manuscript, leave but partly outlined. With the last day of the old year we left Cologne, and with the early light of the new we woke in the fortressshadowed town of Coblentz, of which I have told you before, and before evening we were in what to Island travelers is ever the pleasantest of company, that of " Honolulu friends," in WEISBADEN.

A wonderful power of healing there seems to be in these waters bubbling up from the wartn heart of the old earth, and which seem to teach the world grown wise with its science and remedies and nostrums that after all it must come back for cure, with a child-like faith, to these fountains, not fashioned by human art, but flowing at the touch of an unseen Imnd. Weisbaden is not at all now what it was a few years ago, and as most travelers remember it. • Every one has read of the gambling days of Weisbaden and Baden-Baden, which are now happily ended. If one is in the least addicted to moralizing as he walks through some of the old buildings, through the fine park with its winding walks and numerous trees, and along the fashionable promenades and colonnades, he is strongly tempted to wonder what has become of all that gay company that season after season floated to Weisbaden. Perhaps after all it is just as well we know as little as we do. Certainly there must be a far sweeter, healthier moral atmosphere at this famous watering place than when the games of and " Vignt-et-un" were at " Rouge-et-noir" their Eight; when the "Croupiers" raked in the gold, and men and women from all walks in life sought with feverish eagerness to win something in this unnatural struggle for gain. Weisbaden is still a favorite resort of strangers. It is beautifully laid out, abounding in fine avenues and elegant rows of houses and villas, and possesses excellent educational advantages. Knowing how pleasantly they are remembered by Island friends, I shall be pardoned, I think, for mentioning the'names of old Honolulu residents, whose welcome and greeting made our coming to Weisbaden especiallyagreeable. We found Mr. and Mrs. Pfluger, with their very interesting family, most pleasantly situated for tbe winter, having left their home in Bremen for a time. It was next to being at home in the Islands, to spend a portion of our New Year with friends who recalled so pleasantly and vividly Honolulu scenes and associations. Mr. Pfluger's oldest son is just now performing his military duties in the German army, belonging to the " Uhlans," one of the finest branches of the service, and his second son, a most agreeable young gentleman, has recently entered a business house in Bremen. Quite a numerous younger family are still at home, and 1 trust that some day you may have the pleasure of welcoming them to the Islands, where some of them were born. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Williams are also residing with their children in Weisbaden, for the education of the latter, whose progress here is of a nature to very highly recommend Weisbaden masters and schools. We had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Williansonly, as Mr. Williams was absent in Paris. We enjoyed a few selections at an afternoon concert in the long hall of the " Curraal," and then bidding good-bye to our kind friends, we took the train for the old imperial city of 1878. which to visit in haste seems in a certain way a kind of sacrilege. Yet for the time we were there we saw really a very great deal, almost too much, perhaps. You know there is such a thing as historic and artistic dyspepsia, and one who thinks to devour a city in forty-eight hours which traces its history from the time of the Emperor Charlemagne to the present, must not be surprised if tbe long centuries prove too much for him. Some time I hope 1 may go again to Frankfort, and amid its manifold memories, listen at leisure to the varied and interesting and sometimes tragic events of its history. The city lies on both banks of the river which seems now to have become almost a part of its name, the Main. Historically it is especially interesting, as being the city where most of the Emperors of the old German Empire were elected and crowned. It has passed through various historical vicissitudes, until in 1866 it was captured by the Prussians. Frankfort was the birthplace of the greatest of German writers, Goethe. Perhaps in coming centuries scholars will wage fierce wars as to the real birthplace of the author of " Faust," but at present there is no doubt whatever. We found the old Gosthe house extremely interesting, and remarkably well preserved. You are shown not at all the traditional dreary garret, where is thought to be the approptiate dwelling place for budding genius, but on the contrary, a most comfortable and spacious mansion of the olden time, in an excellent state of preservation. A number of rooms are shown once occupied by the Goethe family, but one is especially interested in the chamber where the famous writer was born and the attic room where he composed his first works, among which the most widely known are Gotz yon Berlichengen" and " The Sorrows of Weither." A number of suggestive mementoes and relics are still preserved here connected with different periods in the poet's life, the greater, or, at least, the more interesting portion of which was spent in Weimar and not in Frankfort. - THE JEWISH QUARTER IN FRANKFORT. Were I a pairfter in search of quaint studies" and picturesque effects, I should "take my pencil and sketch-book to the street which was formerly set apart for the Jews. Many changes have been made in it since the olden times, and new buildings are creeping in among the antique-gabled shops and dwellings, yet enough remain to render it peculiarly interesting. It is bustling with life, and most of the fares you meet are Jewish. How much this race have had to bear. The sncestors of these very men and women who are looking at us from the doors and windows, and hurrying by us on the street, were made not so very long ago to feel in an especial and trying manner their separateness from other citizens, lor we read that on Sundays and holidays this .street was "closed with gates, and no Jew might venture into any part of the town under a heavy penalty." One in reading the recent accounts of the marriage of Miss dc Roths, child to Earl Roseherry in England, and of the splendid estate and enormous fortune is is another of those delightful old left her by her father, would find it difficult where one of antiquarian tendencies to believe that the opulent family, of which finds a rare field for study and research, and she represents one branch, came originally KFRANKFORT-ON-THE-MALN. from this same dingy, crowded Jewish street. The old -Rothschild house is No. 148 ofthe street, one to which I fancy some of the younger descendants of this family of money kings would not care to return. DINING IN THE "TROPICS." The wealth of great cities and the marvelous taste and skill of modern florists and gardeners are doing much to bring the beauties of tropical growths and vegetation to countries where for nearly half the year nature doffs her mantel of green. I have seen with greatest pleasure and surprise the success which have been achieved in some of the palm and fern houses, conservatories and winter gardens, here in Germany, where, leaving at the entrance door chill winds and bleak skies, you find the most wonderful and exquisite recreations of tropic beauty imaginable, and from a land of snow and ice pass instantly into a world of graceful forms and shapes, of warmth and perfume, full o f rare and delicate shades of color, and vocal with the songs of birds. I trust the number of such "winter gardens" for the use of all classes will be rapidly increased. Their value and usefulness seems to me very great in countries where long and trying winters must of necessity influence not only the lives but also the characters of their inhabitants. We found something of this kind in Frankfort. And as being a spot where a large portion of the city comes from time to time for a little innocent recreation, I mention it in this connection. Facing the conservatory was a large and beautiful concert hall, filled with tables both on the floor and in the galleries. For the Germans, who are the most cultivated musical people in the world, believe in attending to their material and esthetic cravings at the same time. Our table, where the waiters brought our dinner, was in a little recess, with a view into the heart of the tropics. From a bed of the softest, most emerald-tinted moss 1 ever saw, rose tall, graceful palms and ferns which the fairest of our Island glens would have no reason to be ashamed to own. On one side of us sat hundreds of pleasant, happy looking Germans, gathered in little groups and clusters, the ladies oftentimes busy with some hand or needle-work. From the music gallery every now and then came to us beau- tifully executed selections from Wagner and other eminent musical composers. On the other side was our enchanted garden, amid whose drooping branches and feathery fronds and sprays the twilight and evening shadows stole slowly and softly, until at last it faded quite away from sight and we were left with the music and lights within. A FEW MORE WORDS ABOUT FRANKFORT. The Romer is an ancient edifice with stately rooms, in one of which the Emperors were elected. It is now lined with historical portraits. A very famous modern sculpture by Dannecker, " Aridne on the Panther," attracts many visitors to Frankfort. It is a female figure, partially reclining on a panther, all being executed in white marble and most exquisitely finished. The sunlight shines through a crimson shade and produces a most beautiful rose tint on the marble. Frankfort possesses also a fine gallery of paintings, but I have detained you perhaps �47 THE Kill END, JUNE, 1878. too long in this city. Making a tour, we were enabled to visit little de- CASSEL. Just before reaching the city proper our attention was attracted to the castle on the hillside at Wilhelmshohe, where Napoleon 111 lived for a time toward the close of the Franco-Prussian war. There is an extensive park and many points of interest, including beautifully arranged cascades, reached in a short time from Cassel, but which we were unable to visit. We employed the time at our disposal in visiting the celebrated picture gallery which is the principal ornament of the city. This gallery is peculiarly interesting from being in a town in which theres seems so little else to see. Our carriage rattled us over pavings and past pleasant German homes, while we looked out at school children coming home with their books, and cavalry soldiers at their drill. The rooms of the art building are admirably arranged, and are stored with choice treasures of all the schools. From the balcony of the gallery we enjoyed a fine view off over a wide reach of country lying peacefully in the quiet afternoon light. Berlin, April 17th, 1878. F. W. Damon. BOOK NOTICE. "A VOYAGE IN THE SUNBEAM." [By F. W. Damon, Berlin, April 17th, 1878.] I have recently had the privilege of seeing a portly volume of travel, with the above title by Mrs. Brassey, who with her husband and family, are, I am sure still well remembered in Honolulu. I regret that my limited time does not permit of my giving you any idea of this book, which is in many respects most charming reading. You will gather,however, from the recent notices of the book how well it has been recei-'ed in England. The simplicity and naturalness of all that is said is very delightful and few have had rarer opportunities than had Mrs. Brassey in her husband's luxurious yacht of seeing distant portions of the world. The illustrations are numerous and finely executed. I have been especially pleased with two views of the crater of Kilauea, which appear to me to give a better idea of the volcano than many of the pictures which have been given to the world before. Though of course any picture of such a place can give but a faint idea of the reality. Mrs. Brassey devotes, besides the account of their expedition to Kilauea, a number of pages to .Honolulu scenes and society. Her. descriptions are most pleasant and kindly and the traveling party seem to have been charmed with the cordial hospitality of which they were the recipients while there. The following is the title page of the book: " A Voyage in the Sunbeam. Our Home on the Ocean' 1 for Eleven Months." By Mrs. Brassey. Longmans & Co., 1878. The following extract from Mrs. Brassey's closing words on Honolulu will show how pleasant her remembrances are of the friends ,she made while there : '' The Princess drove us down to the wharf where we said good bye to her with feelings of the greatest regret. I cannot express the sorrow we all feel at leaving the many kind friends we have met with in ' dear Honolulu,' as Murill calls it. But the farewells were at last over, the anchor was weighed, and the yacht, which was by this time once .more in apple-pie order began slowly to move ahead. Suddenly we heard shouts from the shore and saw a boat pursuing us in hot haste. We stopped and received on board a basket of beautiful ferns and other parcels from different friends. A second boat was then seen coming off to us, which contained a fine dish of delicious honey and some flowers. The order to go ahead was scarcely given before a third boat, in, if possible, hotter haste than the two previous ones, put off after us, bringing some things the launders had forgotten. Now we were fairly off, but now surely the last link that binds us to the shore is broken. But no ! there are farewell signals and hearty cheers yet to come from the officers of the Fantome;' and, still further out, on the top of the tiny lighthouse at the mouth of the narrow passage through the reef, stand other friends, cheering and waving their handkerchiefs. They had rowed out thither being determined to give us really the parting cheer and till the shades of night fell we could see {heir white hand-, kerchiefs fluttering and hear their voices borne no the evening breeze, as we meandered slowly through the tortuous channels into deep water." ' The following notice of the late Rev. D. Spring we copy from the " Congregationalist." He was tbe brother of Capt. John H. Spring, who was wont to visit Honolulu between forty and fifty years ago, and commanded the " Victoria," on board of which we doubled Cape Horn, in July, 1842. Another brother of the family was the Rev. Dr. Spring, for more than a half century pastor of " Brick Church," New York city. " The injuries received by Dr. Samuel Spring of East Hartford, by falling from his doorstep about two weeks since, resulted in his death on the 13th inst. He was eightyfour years of age, and leaves a wife to whom he had been married,upwards of sixty years, and three sons and two daughters. Dr. Spring was a sailor in his youth, but graduated from Vale Seminary in ISII, and was pastor in Abington, Mass., and over the North Church in Hartford, being succeeded in that pulpit by Dr. Bushnell; subsequently he was pastor at East Hartford for thirty years, and after his retirement was Chaplain of the Retreat for the Insane for some years." Mission-Work Among Native Australians. By the last Australian steamer the Rev James B. Atkins passed on his way to En< land. He is a Wesleyan, and has been preaching tor some years in West Australia but aside from preaching- in the Englis language, has been doing Mission-wor among natives of Australia. His testimon respecting this people agrees with the gen eral impression we have always entertainet that they are very degraded and among the lowest on the scale of humanity, and yet with patience, kindness and much labor may be brought to accept Christ as the Saviour of sinners. He referred tv cases which had come under his own observation. From a small pamphlet which he left with us, we quote as follows: '• The Aborigines' Friends' Associations has steadily carried on the work of evangelizing the natives of lower Murray. There the Rev. George Taplin is the Missionary. The number of blacks on the station last year averaged about 140 for each month. There is an effort at evangelization of Central Australia, by the Revs. Schwartz and Kempe. This seems to be an arduous undertaking. The Government, with great generosity, have made a grant of 900 square miles. They have come from the school of Missionaries presided over by Pastor Harms, of Hanover." " Mary had a little Lamb." Doubtless most persons read the poetical effusion, commencing with the words Mary " It had a little lamb," as a fancy sketch. appears however, that Mary is still alive and is now known as Mrs. Mary Tyler," " belonging formerly to Sterling, Mass., but now of Somerville, being a venerable dame of seventy-three, who has appeared at Boston, at the " Old South," and tells the stor of the " little lamb " to raise money to re deem the " old meeting house " from fal ing away. (See The Advance. March 14 1878). We recall a notice of the origin o these verses, as published some years ago i the Springfield Republican. Their autho was a Boston youth, by the name of Job Roulston, son of a Riding School Master o Boston. It appears that he wrote the line under the following circumstances : Mar at the age of nine, (or sixty-four years ago attended a country school, and her " litt lamb " was wont to follow her. Willing to protect the innocent creature, she conceals the lamb under her seat and spreads he apron over her, but alas, when she was called upon to take her position on the floo out runs the little lamb," being sure to g where Mary " did. Young Roulston, wh was made acquainted with tbe fact, gay the little poem to the world, which has ac quired a living fame. This young man wa at the time fitting to enter Havard Univer sity, but died before his preparatory studie were completed. �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 48 THE FRIEND. JUNE 1. 1878. Livingstone Bazaar, Edinburgh. It will be remembered by many of our Island community that about one year ago an appeal was made by Miss Bird, author of the book on our Islands, for contributions to a Bazaar to be opened in December, 1877, in behalf of the Livingstone Medical Missionary Memorial Institute. The primary object of the Institute is training Medical Missionaries for Africa. The appeal was most cordially responded to by contributors on Hawaii, Oahu, Maui and Kauai. The aiticles were sent forward by Messrs. Hackfeld & Co. without charge. It is most gratifying to learn that the enterprize was in the highest degree successful. The accompanying letter, written by Miss Bird in San Francisco, en route to Japan, will indicate that our Island contributions were highly appreciated: Grand Hotel, ) San Francisco, May Ist, 1878. { Dear Mr. Damon: The wretched health which has again compelled me to try change of scene and climate, has prevented me from writing, as I ought to thank you and all the friends whom you influenced for the noble contribution sent from the Hawaiian Islands to the Livingstone Memorial Bazaar, and which from the interest they excited, as well ns from the money they brought, helped to make the bazaar the most successful ever held in Scotland. We have realized $22,-000, and the Hawaiian contributions sold lor $620. Before I left 1 had the pleasure of •teeing the institution opened free of debt, with 200 patients assembling in the waiting room daily, twenty-two medical students being boarded nnd trained there as Medical Missionaries, and four ladies being trained to go out as skilled nurses to Zenanas, in India. Is-not this a noble memorial to David Livingstone ? The Hawaiian things were on vifw from 11 to 1 every day for a fortnight lipfot* the Bazaar nt our bouse, and were visited by hundreds of people. At the Bazaar there was a table in the centre of the hall with the contributions sent by the Pnncess.Louise at one end and the Hawaiian articles at the other. The crush from morning to night at the Hawaiian end wns fearful. A barrier had to be erected to prevent injury to the thinps so great was the interest. The things were the next greatest attraction lo the Livingstone relics there exhibited for the first time. I should like Queen Emma to know that her autographs sold for from $2 to 15 each. Fully 1,000 of her photos could have been sold. The necklet of human hair was bought for 840 for the Museum of Science and Art. Everything sent was sold. Please thank all the kind friends' individually from me. I sent you the Guide which I wrote, n very interesting account of toe bazaar in the (Quarterly paper written by my sister, and the Bazaar Gazette 1878. edited by her. The Guide and Gazette were new and very popular features. We agreed that we would neither have intoxicants sold nor allow raffling. Every one' predicted failure, as no bazaar has ever been held in Edinburgh without both, and we are all the more thankful for our success, because we carried out our prohibition. Your papers so kindly at your request gave publicity to the bazaar that 1 should be very glad if they could make any use of the papers I sent you. I should like both the editors to receive my cordial thanks; also the merchant through whose liberality the cases were delivered in Edinburgh without a I should have written to cent of expense.

I keep this hope before me, and trust that I may realize it. If you are writing to Makaweli, will you thank Mrs. Robinson for their kind contribution to the bazaar. The things being all curiosities of native manufacture, "brought exceptionally high prices. Will you tell her my news, and say that however short my visit to the Islands may be, 1 hope to go to Makaweli. Now 1 beg you kindly to pardon the delay in writinrj. My long nnd distressing illness placed it out or my power, and 1 must have seemed very ungrateful. With most kind regards to Mrs. Damon, believe me your sincere and grateful friend, Isabella S. Bird.

The Hawaiian " stone age" is represented by a stone axe, eighty years old, which has been bought for the Society of Antiquities. The centre of attraction, however, is a necklet of human hair, with a pendant of human thigh bone, as worn by Kamehameha I. This has been purchased for the Museum of Science and Art. It is amusing to see the different ways in which different people are affected by this collection. Some shudder at the sight of the flaying knife and trie necklet, many exclaim, " How very interesting," as many more, in defiance of the placard above the table, insist that the things are contributed by the Princess Louise, and one woman of shrewd aspect, after considering them attentively for some minutes, and carefully noting the prices, turned to the lady in charge with the remark, "Aye, woman, all yer trash ain't worth five shillings !" Latest from Micronesia. Kenan, Ponape, April 17, 1878. Mr. Editor Dear sir: A sailor named George Terrell (I am not sure about the spelling of the last name) came to Ponape with Capt. Weeks in the Kamehameha, and was left here. He has been insane, for some time was unable to speak a word. For some months he has been with Mr. Kubay the naturalist, and is improving. He can now converse. He says he is from Long Island, but we fail to learn frpm what town. If his relatives, if he has any, could in any way be informed, or he could be put under medical care, it would be a great blessing.

The first member of the junior class of Vale College, to ascend the*platform raised in Battell Chapel and make his bow to the audience, previous to speaking for the exhibition prize, yesterday afternoon, was Mr. Chun Lung, of Hien Shang, China. He was a fine looking representative of the great Empire, had on the dress coat always worn on these occasions, wore his jet black hair after the manner of an Americun, was quite short in stature, slirnly built and not over twenty-two years of age. He had spoken but a few words before it was seen that he was not only exceedingly graceful upon the platform, but was able to cope in a masterly manner with theEnglish language. Mis enunciation was clear, and although the foreign accent was easily noticed, it was not so prominent as to be objectionable. In both rhetoric and delivery, many of the speakers who came after him fell below him in ex- cellence. Chun Lung stands high in his class, and is exceedingly popular in his class and through college. The Chinese Government has already recognized his abilities and qualifications, and at one time he was sent to Cuba on official business. The subject yesterday of the essay of Chun Lung was "The Educational Element in Chinese Civilization," and is given below: THE ESSAY. Chinese civilization, from its unique character, presents to the world many problems lor study and solution. In order to gain an insight into its structure, we propose to speak only of its educational element and to inquire what part that has played in its development. Commencing with the school culture, we find that that involves a thorough acquaintance with the classics, history and philosophy of the country. The school boy commences his first lesson as a philosopher. He is at once put to the trimetrical classics, whose first sentences assert the doctrine of the original purity of human nature. It is not to be supposed that the tyro understands the meaning. He is required to learn by rote. His memory, and his memory alone, is exercised and crammed for at least three years, in learning viva voce the Analects of Confucius, the works of Mencius, the Rites, the Ancient Odes, and the Book of Changes, before the explanation of what he has committed to memory is made by the instructor. From the nature of the language, be cannot exercise any judgment in his lessons, much less can he give his thought freedom and original force. School houses and graded colleges are scattered throughout the Empire. Although schools are not public in the sense that they are supported by the State, yet they are made common by their cheapness, and are available to all classes, so that education is universal. Chinese education is voluntary, but behind this popular enthusiasm for mental training it bas its ultimate interest in the State. The State is governed by the educated and the fittest. The highest political honor is opened to the humblest in every sphere of life, and every man may be a competitor. Neither the State nor society recognizes caste. In this respect it is purely democratic, not demo- 1878. cratic in tbe sense in which we sometimes understand it in this country, where quantity is measured against quality, nnd demagoguism supplants true statesmanship, but it is the democracy which presents the phenomenon of 400,000,000 of people all striving with equal chances to repair the waste of the State by evolving the best and fittest talents for the public service. And these talents are sifted and resifted through a system of competitive examinations. In no country is a successful scholar more appreciated and honored both by the people and the Government, than in China. But on the one hand, the spirit and tendency of Chinese education is to keep alive the patriarchal system which forms the cornerstone upon which the structure of society rests; and on the other the safety of the State necessitates the repression of originality of the mind. Hence the prescribed studies and the immutable rules and directions within which essays for all competitive examinations are restricted. This repressive policy had its origin in the Ming dynasty and gives to the Chinese civilization that stiffness and rigidity which are by no means conducive to progress. The question is olicn asked what in the religion of the Chinese? It is, we may my, materialistic pantheism. Il is a matter-of-fact religion. According to their philosophy, mind is matter, and matter cangiblo expression of mind. It is not that God is over and above nature and thus becomes supernatural, but that God is nature, and the various natural phenomena are so many foruis of the divine expression. Hence mountains, rivers and groves have their gods. Hence come the manifold forms of apotheosis, such as ancestral, hero and sage worship, together with all the nameless forms of Icticiem. 'Mahoinmedaiiir.ni and Buddhism are not indigenous; they have their foundation in tho supernatural aud are not strictly the religion of China. Religious culture having its basis in material nature, the national consciousness is confined with in material limits, and like the national intellect, is deprived of that spiritual liberty which the ideal and supernatural world opens to the soul. But over and above a mechanical and monotonous system of education, together with a religion and philosophy lounded on material nature, all weighed down by Si language an indexible and arbitrary and cumbersome as the great stratification of nature, they have the further incubus of rites and ceremonies which by their rigidity and their traditional conventionalism square into mathematical precision all their etiquette and fashions, their manners and customs, till all expressions of finer sentiments are well nigh crushed. In view of the nature of tlie educational element as described, can we doubt what powerful influence it has in uluiiiing the character of the Chinese civilization. The narrowness and repression, which iih uniformity and mechanical routine naturally produce, prevent originality and deprive the mind of its natural freedom, ilence comes the universal conclusion that tbe Chinese are imitative. They have construction nnd construction at times on a grand scale, but all their constructions, whether they be words or art, architecture, literature or political administration, are greatly wanting in those aesthetic elements, wbicb characterise western civilisation. There is a dull monotony throughout the whole Chinese culture, and if tbe educational element aimed at securing homogeniety and longevity in her national life, as it has undoubtedly done, it has yet failed in individual development. The individual is sacrificed to tbe mass, and tho mass moves and lives, as it did ages past, without any essential change. Had Chios remained in her cxclueiveuese, she would have been a world by herself; ber civilization would have been adequate for her requirements, and she might have continued her national existence for another thousand years ; but the progress- of events has lorced ber Irom her isolation, and in coming in contact with the other nations she is put to great disadvantages, and her position even now is at best anomalous. In our opinion, the first thing needed to meet her present wants is a change of language. The Chinese language is pictorial and hieroglypbical in its nature and origin. It cannot be reduced to a grammatical science, because its nouns have neither gender or inflections; its verb» cannot be conjugated ; and the nice distinctions of time, as observed in the Greek verbs, are not aided by auxiliaries. Again, with few exceptions, where the characters are governed by the phonetic system, the bulk of the written characters (ollowb no rule by which they can be spelled or pronounced. So that no new characters can be formed and universally recognized by the people. Furthermore the language is unique in itself, and has a growth altogether independent of other languages. Hence it cannot bo enlarged by introduction or incorporation of foreign words, nor can it give enlargement to other languages. When a language Irom its nature and construction is incapable of growth, as the Chinese language is, ideas and sensibilities must necessarily be confined and be made to move in a narrow channel. Hence to speak in a word of the language, as one of the marked obstacles in the way ot mental development and progress, it is too concrete and not abstract enough to give the human mind elasticity and freedom. Although we do not know of any historic nation, whether past or present, excepting the Hawaiian Islands that has adopted the written language of another, nor can we conceive that sudli a phenomenon is at all probable, yet we are convinced that unless a change of some kind in the language is made, China will always have a millstone to her neck in her struggle lor new national life. Her second reqisitc is the sciences. The Htudy of science is excluded from their schools. Even the study ol arithmetic is regarded as compromising the character of a literary student. Astronomy is studied on account of its supposed bearings on the destiny of the state and the fate of distinguished individuals. But neither arithmetic or astronomy is studied in the schools. Nature with her inexhaustible resources, and her endless laws, is a closed volume to her. China needs the supernatural in religion to free her from the shackles of materialism and its conse- quent feticisni. In view of radical defects in the educational element of ber civilization, what China really needs, then, is a change of her language, tbe introduction of scientific education in her schools and the supernatural element in her religious belief. Already the introduction of the last two elements has wrought within the past quarter of a century great changes. She is now evidently entering into a transitional period, which will open to her a new future, and tier future, judging from lief antecedents, is full of encouragement. Her great age, after making full allowances for isolation as a favorable circumstance for its attainment, must be lounded on substantial qualities, qualities which, when wisely directed will place her in the front rank of nations. Finally, in religious tolerance China yields the palm to no country. There we find Protestantism and Koman Catholicism with all their different sects, side by side, preaching and proselyting ; Buddhism apd Mahammedanism quietly following out their respective convictions unmolested. A nation with these elements of character furnishes us with abundant hopes for tbe future, provided western nations at the present juncture deal with her justly and wisely, and do not allow national greed and ambition to destroy her autonomy and to sap ber life by wholesale poisoning, or in any way to trample on her rights.— N.

BY F. W. DAMON. In the midst of ihe courtly festivities came an event of a rather different nature, but rendered all the more striking perhaps by its contrast to the former, namely, a speech from the German Chancellor, Prince Bismarck, in reference to the " Eastern Question." I think I had looked forward to this opportunity of hearing the Great Prussian with us much, if not more, anticipation than to any of the Court entertainments on the programme of the week. Bismarck is so unique a figure in the history of modern times, and is such a political Colossus that I should have felt to have seen Germany without seeing Bismarck, would have been like seeing the play of Hamlet" with Hamlet left out. This was the occasion of the Chancellor's first appearance officially in Berlin, since his withdrawal on furlough to Varzin, hence every one was eager to hear him; an eagerness intensified by the importance of the subject of debate, in reference to which he was expected to say words, big with meaning and suggestion to all Europe at this critical time. Hence, long before the opening of the day's session the seats in the gallery reserved for spectators were filled. Armed with my ticket I threaded the intricacies of the building, in which the Reichstag holds its sittings on Leipsegerstrasse. Having made the fortunate mistake of coming an " " " hour too early, I had ample time to study the faces of some of the members before Bismarck arrived. The " Hall of the Imperial Diet " is not especially imposing, having been constructed rapidly in 1871. The Assembly room is surrounded by galleries with ample accommodation for spectators. The seats of the members are arranged in semi-circular rows, facing the tribune; on both sides of the President's seat are the seats of the Members of the " Bundesrath." The different political .parties, of which there are a number of shades in the " Diet," sit together in the House. Gradually the seats in the galleries are filled. People are studying plans of the House, to see where particular members are seated. Now and then a door on the floor opens nnd some member arrives; little knots gather about some desk; here some one is writing unhindered. What fine faces you see now and then, there is an easy, pleasant, contented look on perhaps the majority. One cannot but envy the Germans this quiet, unruffled manner; this almost childlike content and good humor, which seems to characterize many of them; this flavor of brotherliness marking their meetings and conversation, and which is perfectly consistent, with earnest effort, stern resolve and vigorous perseverance. Almost before you are aware of it, the seats of the members are filled—few empty to-day. While we' are waiting let us take a glance at a few of the faces below us, Cnrlyle says somewhere in his essays on and Hero-worship," " One comfort "is Heroes that great men, taken up in any way, are profitable company." Hence it may be of interest to know a little something of the personality of some of the foremost men in German affairs. Of course Bismarck at present overshadows every one else, but as time goes by, it is seen that men are arising here in Germany of marked personality, and whose names are beginning to be widely known in connection with the "early Constitution-struggles " of the Empire. German parliamentarism is, it may be fairly said, still in its infancy, the first German Imperial Parliament, or Deutcher Reischstag " hav" ing been opened by the Emperor on the 21st of March, 1871. Kaulbach in one of his grand mural paintings in the " Old Museum of Berlin represents Germania as a " superb, heroic female figure in armor, bear- ing a book, thus symbolizing the military and the intellectual tendencies of the German people. The Germania of future artistic creations, however, must be represented with symbols fitted to suggest the power of statesmanship as well as arms or knowledge in the upbuilding of the Empire. But I have kept you too long from a few hasty sketches 1 had intended to make for you. For the personal facts in reference to a few of the German politicians I am indebted to a most interesting and ably-written book, by Mr. Herbert Tuttle, entitled "German Leaders." In one of the foremost steats you will notice a gentleman whom it is worth your while to carefully regard, HERB RUDOLPH YON BENNIOSEN, One of the most prominent men of tbe country. This is the best time to speak of him, for he will soon be on his feet, fronting Bismarck and then there will be other matters to claim our attention. So rapid and dramatic have been the changes in German affairs within the last twenty years that the world has scarcely had time to study the different forces and men at work behind the scenes. Bennigsen should now, in the quiet and repose which has followed, be assigned the position which he rightfully earned in the struggle for German unity. He was the founder of the " Deutsche National Verein," or German National Union, whioh held toward the struggle for German unity, the same relation as the " Concord minute-men " to the American revolution—it was the zealous and patriotic levy of hasty forces, which, with the introduction of order and method, gracefully accepted the duty of discipline and subordination to authorized leaders. It was an unofficial but not illegal association. While a timid King of Prussia refused to place himself at the head of the popular cause, and become the center of that unity for which the Fatherland was striving, the National Verein, a voluntary association of patriotic and liberal men, organized �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 42 1878. public spirit and kept alive the hopes of the country. So long as there was no governmental control of the popular efforts, this Verein acted as leader; when the state assumed the lead, the Verein retired. When this Verein was dissolved in 1866, it numbered thirty thousand members. As a Hanverian, Bennigsen endeavored, to save his country from taking the steps which ultimately led to its overthrow. In 1870 and 1871 he was occupied with mest important missions to the South German suites and the camp at Versailles. He is a man of large resources and appears to good advantage on the floor. In 1873 he was selected as President'of the Prussian House of Deputies, a position which he still occupies. He is a member of the National Liberal " " party which is " now the most powerful of all the parliamentary and political factions in Germany,and is practically,though not avowedly, the Government party." Though it is never wise to count too positively on a man's future, yet it would not be strange if Bennigsen's name should yet become still more prominent in German history, after the great presence of Bismarck has passed away. He is a gentleman between fifty and sixty years of age, with a quiet, courteous, polished bearing; a personal friend of Prince Bismarck, by whom he is beard with a marked but somewhat patronizing respect. Not far from Bennigsen sits a far different sort of man, brows and a peculiar protuberant upper lip, so that, as the phrase goes, his beauty cannot oppress him. But even here the French C'est sa laideur gui fait proverb prevails sa beaute'—it is his ugliness which makes his beauty—for a certain spiritual expression lends a singular charm to a physiognomy so little marked by beauty, especially when in the course of debate the appirently composed, but realy active, face becomes animated. Then the little brown eyes sparkle, the lifeless lines expand, and an ironical, mocking smile plays along the overhanging lip. Suddenly he interrupts the Speaker and shouts a sarcastic remark into the assembly, which commonly causes merriment, but sometimes angry murmurs." And here from another: '• The Hanoverian leader is not a man to whom nature supplies the conditions of a positive faith ; he is 4 der geist der stets verneint," or the spirit of negation. Windthorst is perhaps the model Philistine of German politics. Like a soldier of fortune, he roams over the whole world of politics, and grapples with the foe wherever and whenever he meets him." But not to "weary you with the personal descriptions, let me pass quickly to one more gentleman in one of the front rows of the House, and then it will be time for the opening of the debate. One of the most interesting characters to me among the parliamentary leaders of Germany is that of HERR WINDTHORST, HEAD OF THE ULTRAMON- Lasker represents a type of man and perhaps, in the New World than the Old ; a man of the people; one who with no aristocrntic lineage to help him upwards has by his steady effort, his fearlessness, his undoubted genius, and ability made for himself a conspicuous placr* mi German public life. He is a Jew, and an adherent to the faith of his fathers. He was originally a barrister; passed several years of his early professional life in England, and then returned to Berlin and for twelve years " filled the humble, unsalaried post of assessor at the Berlin Municipal Court, and retired after the experience that there was no opening in the judiciary for bim." But since entering political life, he has steadily moved his way upwards, so that Mr. Tuttle speaks eloquently of him, "as a legislator of splendid and sustained abilities, —the example of a patriot who is a statesman from a sense of duty, of a citizen above reproach ; —the first ol German debaters." Of him further we read, " 11 iyginson has said that an essay of Emerson is like a string of pearls, because the sentences may be told off, one by one, each complete in itself. The same description may be applied to the articulation of Lasker. The words drop from his tongue, clear and sharp, like the ticking of a rapid pendulum ; and he has a habit of accumulating speed as he TANE FACTION. It would seem as if the new Pope, Leo XIII, was desirous, if possible, to bring about a reconciliation between the Roman Catholic Church and the German Government. Certdinly this would be a politic move on his part, and might in some degree soothe the bitterness of that conflict which Bismarck has waged against (Jltramnntanism in the Empire. Whatever turn affairs may take in the future, it will be impossible to obliterate the remembrance of past parliamentary battles in which the Chancellor has found Herr .Windihorst such a keen and bitter antagonist, who for reasons which he best knows has espoused the cause of the Ultraniontanes, in behalf of. whom he uses his merciless sarcasm and invective. As you see his little form, his inert manner, you would find it difficult to imagine that so much fierce fire lay dormant within him. Whatever awe there may attach to the person of the Chancellor, this adroit, keen little man seems in no way intimidated by it. It must be a curious sight to watch Bismarck and his opponent in a passxge at arms, the one of such tremendous physique, the other so diminutive—-one "dealing giant blows," tbe other thrusting with a " French rapier." Here is a sharply drawn study" of the exMinister of State of Hanover. It is by Max Ring, evidently no lover of the "subject" which he is sketching, and must hence be taken with some caution: "If we turn now toward the Centre, our attention is immediately drawn to one of the most interesting and best known characters of the Reichstag.

His fluency is of that perfect kind, which is not simply command of words, but which never wants for sentences or thoughts. His speeches sound like perpetual perorations. One expects that each sentence is the culmination." Lasker has been a vigorous assailant of fraud and swindles, and has brought to light some things, the discovery of which was far from pleasant for the perpetrators of the same. He is the moat undaunted kind of a man, cringing before no position however high, and pushing his searching, investigations into the charmed circle of nobility. He is the natural and accepted leader of the National Liberals. I could mention many more names ; but for this time these few representative men must suffice. There are many and various elements in the Diet, and a wise and judicious management will be necessary in the future in guiding the ship of state through troubled seas. 1 notice with pleasure that the seats occupied by that most dangerous and combustible element, calling itself " Social Democracy," are few in number, and I trust this will continue to be the case. Certain recent public demonstrations of this unruly element in Berlin suggest, however, the thought that it may yet prove rather a difficult thing to handle. But I must hasten in closing, to speak of the foremost figure in German Statesmanship and Diplomacy, PRINCE OTTO YON BISMARCK, THE IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR. There is a remark of Burkes to this effect: "Great men are ihe guide-posts and land-marks of the State." Perhaps no man of our day is more entitled to be numbered in such a list than Bismarck, whose slightest words emanating from his home in the Wilhelmstrasse in Berlin, or from his resting place in the country, Varzin, are regarded as deep oracular utterances by the civilized world. It would be interesting to speak here somewhat at length of this remarkable man, but my limits will scarcely permit of this. Undoubtedly there have been many things in Bismarck's career which are open to criticism, if not censure, and which his future biographers will display in their most truthful light, when, in coming years, they shall write of him, seeing him with clearer vision than is now possible, so surrounded is he, by that indefinable but real defense of greatness and success and power. Yet living here in the midst of a people, over whom he rules with a sway which is second only to that pf their Imperial head, and feeling the reality and power of his tremendous individuality, it is impossible not to feel something, yes, very much, of "hero-worship" springing up in one's estimate of him, and I do not deny that 1 am somewhat addicted to this. I shall count among my '' red letter days" that in which I saw and heard him and felt that pardonable and natural thrill nnd pleasure at being near one who had by force of will, superior genius, and antiring effort won his way to the uplands of success and renown. Bismarck owes much to circumstances, but he has had the rare ability to make them suit bis own ends—he has been their king and not their slave. He is of old and aristocratic family. He is the personal and valued friend of one of the first military sovereigns of Europe, and has had the good fortune to live, it is true, in stormy times, but in times so full of magnificent possibilities that he who could grasp them must of necessity become great. This he has �THE FRIEND, JUNE, done, so that, waves which would have engulfed some men, have been the billows which have borne him upward and onward. He was born in 1815, and passed a quiet youth, going in 1832 to the University of Gottingen, where he became "a species of college champion—the best boxer and fencer, drinker and rider. Of his studies it is enough to say that one professor declares he never saw him at his lectures;" a statement of which Prince Bismarck cannot now be especially proud. Very interesting in connection with his University life is a letter of his, recently published, in which he speaks of some Americans, fellow-students with him at Gottingen, in 1832, "John Lothrop in the public questions of the day in Prussia. He served as Ambassador both in St. Petersburg and Paris, and in 1862 became Premier and Minister, of Foreign Affairs in the service of the present Emperor of Germany, then King of Prussia. The iriany and exciting phases of public life in which Bismarck has since figured are too well known to need repetition. Their merits or demerits we have no time to discuss here, and opinions vary widely in reference to the same. In 1864 came the Danish war, in 1866 the brief but wonderfully decisive conflict with Austria, ending at Sadowa, and in 1870 the Franco-Prussian war. Looking back after a repose of seven years, it must Motley, Mitchell C. King, and Amory seem almost incredible to Germany that so Coffin."

The subsequent events public strife and party feud undergo a most in the Chancellor's life are still a subject for pleasing metamorphosis, and Bismarck, in newspaper leaders, a province which it is many respects, is a happy illustration of this never safe to invade.

Emperor and Crown Prince in paintings, engravings, and photographs that you recognize it in an instant. Bismarck passes down to his place with a pleasant nod and smile here and there. His seat is next that of Herr yon Bulow, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. He has a porte-folio before him filled with many papers, and he occupies himself busily and thoughtfully. At length Herr yon Bennigsen leaves his place and takes his stand on the steps of the Tribune facing Bismarck. It is in response to his interpellation that Bismarck is here today to give utterance to the policy of the German Government in reference to the Eastern question. Yon Bennigsen speaks at length and when he resumed his seat Bismarck rises. We have a fine opportunity of seeing him. He is most simply dressed ; a dark-blue military suit with collar of an orange color, and a bit of ribbon atone side, 1 think, sign of the "Iron Cross." Bis- marck has said of himself, " I am no orator, * I am not capable of working upon your feelings or obscuring facts with a play of words. My speech is simple and clear." Some one has given this description, " There is no charm of speech, no fullness of expression in him, nothing to carry away the hearer. His voice, though clear and intelligible, is dry and unattractive, and its tone is monotonous. He interrupts himself; comes to a stand-still, and sometimes almost stammers, as if his refractory tongue refused obedience and he had to struggle painfully for the right way of expressing his thoughts; his restless movements backwards and forwards do not at all add to the impression produced by his words, but tbe longer he speaks, the more he overcomes all difficulties; he succeeds in fitting his words to his thoughts in the closest manner and ends by throwing out powerful invectives, which, us we know, are often too powerful." This in the main gives a justpicture of Bismarck as 1 heard him. Though I should be far from calling his voice " dry and unattractive," there was a quality in it which struck mc as being agreeable. He spoke most quietly and was listened to with marked attention. * It wus a most interesting sight. The-President at his desk, the members in their seats, about the Tribune and to one side a number of gentlemen clustered in attentive groups, the dark dress of the civilians being lit up by the uniforms of some of the military present; the galleries, one mass of eager, listening faces, and most prominent of all the grand figure of the leading statesman of the nineieeth century. Bismarck is far from well; during his speech he asked the per- mission of tbe House to resume his seat and thus continue speaking. There was no display of energy or action, such as must be evident when Windthorst thrusts at the grey old giant and stirs him up to white heat From time lo time he draws the attention of the House to maps in reference to the vexed and debatable land lying about the Bospliorus and further north. Of course now tbe speech is an old Story, and has been commented upon and criticised by the press of the world. You will, perhaps, remember that it was in reference to the attitude of Germany at the present juncture of European affairs. How that the Chancellor declared, in substance, thut it was not for '' �44 THE FRIEND, Germany's interest to sacrifice the friendship of either Russia or Austria, and he saw no reason to fear that the peace of Europe would be disturbed. The interests of Germany at present were not threatened, and unless they were, he could not counsel the Emperor to undertake any armed interference in the settlement of the Eastern question." I shall always regard it as a pleasure and a privilege to have seen and heard Bismarck. You will, I trust, pardon the length at which I have written on this subject, but I felt any sketches which I might send from Germany would be singularly defective did they not contain a notice of the most prominent man of Germany in our day.

He met two of them at an entertainment in Berlin. He writes as follows under date of April 14th : "It would be hardly fair to omit mentioning two of the colored " Jubilee " singers, a gentleman and his wife, who added not a little to the cosmopolitan character of the gathering. These colored singers, you know, are from Nashville, Tennesse, and are singing in behalf of the Freedmen's College there.

They have preserved their simplicity of manners remarkably, notwithstanding all the attention they have received.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 18 THE RECENT ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR. Could you have been in Berlin a week ago lust Saturday evening, you would have found the city in a strange state of excitement. During the afternoon, about halfpast three, as the Emperor was driving down the Linden, a young fellow, who had partially shielded himself behind a droschki, as the Emperor's carriage approached, shot once or twice from a revolver, and endeavored to make his escape across the avenue. The Emperor-was driving, according to his wont, in an open carriage, and at his side sat his daughter, the Grand-Duchess of Baden. The would-be assassin has evidently imbibed too deeply the dangerous and revolutionary principles of the Social-Democratic party, which have already gained much ground in Germany, and whose influence can tend only to anarchy and the overthrow of all law and order. Upon the young man's person were found pamphlets in reference to the Social-Democratic movement. His story is that he was desirous of shooting himself, in order to show the extremity to which the poor are reduced by the tyranny of the rich. I scarcely imagine, however, that this story obtains much credence. After the firing of the shots the Emperor's carriage soon stopped, and the young man (a workman from Leipzig, of 20 years or so,) who was endeavouring to make his escape, was seized. The police with difficulty kept the people from having recourse to Lynch law, so tremendous was the excitement. Some three or four shots (or, according to another account, two or three,! had been fired, but most fortunately and miraculously without producing the slightest injury* Word of the event flew immediately all over the city, so that in an incredibly short time the space before the Palace was crowded with people to testify their enthusiastic joy at the preservation of the life of the Emperor. 1 happened to be sit the Zoological Garden, where an open-air con•A second attempt has been made to assassinate the Emperor, whiob proved well nigh snoeeesfnl; bat latest telegrapbio report* indicate that he waa gradually recovering from his wounds. �54 TBE FRIEND, being given. The National Anthem was played, and the incident of the afternoon now being known, it was received with a loud burst of applause. In the evening, in some of the places of amusement, the same enthusiastic and jubilant excitement was manifested; and for days since has the Emperor been the recipient of many and sincere evidences of the joy which Germany and the world at large feel at his preservation. The papers have been full of it. cert was Telegrams of congratulation have poured in from all parts of Europe. Thanksgiving services have been held in various churches. A very pretty incident took place the other day. A company of school-girls appeared, as 1 understand, unheralded at the Palace. Waiving the usual etiquette, the Emperor. received them most kindly, and as kindly accepted the gift of flowers and the laurel wreath which they had brought him. One of the most splendid spectacles I ever witnessed was the grand torchlight procession given last Friday evening by the students of the University in honor of the Emperor. There were between two and three thousand persons in the procession. The long line of young men, on foot and in carriages, inarched down the Linden" from the " Pariser Platz to the Palace. The Emperor on the balcony, and was received appeared most enthusiastically. The scene was a most inspiring one as I saw it. The night was luminous with the glare of hundreds and hundreds of torches.

After further demonstrations of loyalty and love, the long line passed on to another part of the city. There forming in a large circle, they threw theirtorches upwards into the air, which, after describing a fiery curve, fell in the center of the ring. it was in all respects a most splendid and successful tribute of respect and devotion from young Germany to its venerable and honored head and Emperor. Berlin is looking beautifully now, and the parks in and near the city are like fairyland. The Spring has been a most beautiful one, a perfect Carnival of sunshine and flowers and birds. Mr. Bayard Taylor, the new American Minister, has arrived, and will prove, I am sure, a most valuable addition to the diplomatic, literary and social life of the capital. Within a few days a Legation from Morocco has arrived, bringing, as I understand, presents of value for the Emperor. Their costumes will probably excite as much interest in the streets as have those of the Chinese for some time past.

EISRNACH AND ITS MEMORIES. 1 feel eager to reach a little village toward which we are hastening as the dusk of the early winter evening is gathering in the dark pine forests of Thuringia, more eager than 1 have been oftentimes in entering some of the world's greatest cities and capitals. For there is a stronger charm which draws us to this quiet village than any which the old legendary spirits which dwelt in sthe heart of the German forests were fabled'to exert on unwary travelers, that of the name of the great reformer, Martin Luther. It is a little strange that one who swept away saints and shrines should have himself unconsciously been creating new shrines where Protestant pilgrims should love to come and trace the steps and lifework of one who stands in the foremost rank of those holy men of all ages, who have left the memory of their lives and deeds as a precious legacy to the true Catholic. Church. The Thuringian forest is among the most beautiful regions of Germany—a fitting home for many of the stirring events which have been enacted in the towns and villages which it embraces within its limits. Nearly four hundred years have passed since Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, in Saxony, the soon of poor, hard working mining people, who little dreamed of the kingly place their son was to hold in the annals of all time ; he whose light was to flame as the beacon over long centuries and epochs of the world." Vet never more grandly and heroically has the miner's son, the triumphant Reformer, appeared than he does to-day at the close of these four centuries. I have felt it a peculiar privilege to be able to visit see les associated with his daily life, which seem in some woudrous manner to be instinct with his great presence. But the evening lamps have been lighted in the quiet homes of Eisenach long since, and the night has closed in on the forests, while I have been detaining you. Our hotel is near the station, just outside the old gates of the town. To-night it is too late to see the places which we have come especially to visit, and we take instead a walk through the village. We have the streets quite to ourselves—the streets up and down which Luther often passed so long ago. " EXCURSION TO WARTBURG CASTLE. With the clear, grey-tinted light of the next morning, we were ready for our excursion to the Wartbukg, a castle which rises as sentinel above the town. We find the town no longer the silent place of last night. The market-place by the old church of busy buyers and sellers, the women ing an odd kind of cloak or mantle. beyond the church is situated the old is full wear- Just house where once lived Frau Ursula Cotta, whose home became such a pleasant haven to the boy Luther. From his father's lowly home the peasant boy had come to study at the school in Eisenach. With other boys he was accushMned to sing carols from house to house, thus eking out a scanty living. One day, as he stood before the house of good Frau Cotta, her motherly heart warmed towards the wan, desolate little figure, and she brought him in, and shortly after he came to be one of the family. It is the simplest of simple incidents, but beautiful as an episode in the life of one who was to act as the foremost man of his age. You are shown the room where young Martin, who was choir boy in the church which we passed on our way hither, lived and studied. They show you—but this must be taken with some reservation—the cloak he used to wear, far back, some three or four hundred years ago. May there always be kind, loving Frau Cottas in the world to bring sunshine in'e lonely lives ! You connot help feeling that thjs lady must have been a helpftM, cheery member of the little Eisenach circle in which she lived. It is easy to picture her as mistress of this spacious house, about which she probably moved as a thrifty, careful housewife. There is nothing to see within but the Luther room, to which I have before referred. Not very far away froYn this interesting landmark of the olden time is the house where John Sebastian Bach was born in 1695,—one of the greatest of musical composers. Though there is nothing now shown but this house in connection with the great musician, it is pleasant to have been permitted to see where his earliest days were passed. One always feels a loving sympathy for the poor little fellow who was forbidden certain pieces of music for which he longed with all his heart, and one night " stole the book containing them, and copied them in his own room by moonlight." He who has ever enjoyed the rare pleasure of listening to the sublime music of Bach's Passion Music," one' of the most remarkable creations in the whole range of musical composition, must feel that here, in this old Eisenach house, was born one of the sovereigns in the realm of sacred music. Lately, in Berlin, I have heard for the first time this remarkable composition. It must have been written by a man beneath whose art lay the principle of a devout and reverent faith. Retracing our steps, we find the road which leads to the summit of the Wartburg, the goal of our day's excursion. We have seen much, and found food for thought for many days in the little town below, but the Castle is, after all, the real goal of our wanderings. Our road winds here and there, always upward. We pause for just a moment to glance at the church on the hill-side and the cross-marked graves which lie in its shadow. The snow lies in scattered patches on the withered grass. The sweet, clear morning air is delicious, the best of tonics. As our path advances the outlook increases in extent. We see wide reaches of undulating country covered with forests—the fragrant evergreen forests of Thuringia. Now, a few moments more of good climbing and we are on the summit, and safe in the guardian presence of the old medieval Schloss. Very few of the old-castles of Germany offer more of in- " �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1878. from being blamed, he wrought a miracle.

The splendor of imperial and ecclesiastical power arrayed itself against this apostle oftruth, and armed with no weapon but that of an unwavering faith in his Godgiven purpose, he swept all before him. But his triumph rendered his opponents only the more inimical. He was placed under the ban of the Empire, and for the moment the great wheels of progress seem to pause. Even while a breathless, expectant world wus awaiting with straining gaze the next turn of affairs, he who was the acknowledged leader of the movement suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. But this seeming pause was in reality but another step towards the final victory. At a time when it seemed as if the brave and fearless Reformer was deserted by the world and the church, there were not lacking after all those who ministered to his needs. Secretly and swiftly was he conveyed to this Thuringian fortress belonging to the Elector of Saxony, and this little upper chamber which we were privileged to visit became his secure hiding place, his Pat" to mos" as he called it, until it was safe come forth once more. Here he lived for months under the name of " Squire George," and busied himself with the translation of the Bible from the original into German. The room in which he lived is but little altered. Here still stands the table where he wrote, his bed and many interesting reminders of his daily life. Still is shown the stain on the wall where he is said to have thrown his inkstand at the Tempter. It was here that weary and worn with the excitement of past years, fresh from the tremendous efforts at the Diet of Worms, that he underwent at times such fierce mysterious spiritual contests as few human beings have known. Hallowed indeed seems every nich of the little apartment where in loneliness and oftentimes, over shadowing darkness and gloom this great soul fought and struggled (inwards toward the light. On the wall hangs his portrait, a strong and powerful face. You feel almost as if you were in his actual presence ! From this high watch tower how the Reformer must have swept the horizon of that world which he had for the time being left, and seen perhaps dimly but with unwavering faith the light of that sun which was to disperse its shadows. In those long months he tarried here, what lessons there must have been in the changing seasons in this fair Thuringian land, in its crimson dawns, and purple-shadowed twilights, in all its varied beauty for him whose great and loving heart and poetic soul seem at all times so wonderfully in communion with Nature! But, as we all know, this fortress-home did not always claim him. From his obscurity he went forth once more into the heat of the battle, appearing again in the midst of his flock at Wittenberg, to cheer and comfort and strengthen and to advance the work for which he was destined. Nor must we, pilgrims of this later time, tarry longer here, but go forward on our way to other shrines and scenes which are waiting for us, but which can never cause us to forget what we have already seen.

We kave received an interesting letter from the Rev. R. Lechler, German missionary at Hong Kong. Nearly one hundred Chrfctian Chinese, men, women and children, came per the Auguste, which arrived here about the first of January. These Christian Chinese had been under the influence and instruction of the German missionaries, who continue to feel and express a deep interest in their converts, who have come to reside and labor on the Hawaiian Islands : Hongkong, 22d April, IS7B. Jiev. S. C. Damon—Your favor of the 6th February was duly received with a number. of letters from my friends there. We were not a little comforted to hear that it had pleased God, to bring the Auguste and all her passengers safely to Honolulu. 1 desire to thank you most cordially for your kind letter, and for all the kindness you nnd others have shown to our people. We rejoiced to hear that the wedding between Joseph Ten-syan and Lai Tet-Sin has come off so nicely. I hope she will be a good mother to the two children of Joseph.* Or are they continuing in the school with that kind lady in whose charge he gave them when he left for China. 1 am also obliged for the copy of the Friend you kindly sent me. I have sent it and previous numbers on to Europe, as people at home are greatly interested in the fate of the Chi- nese Christians, who emigrate to the Sandwich Islands. I shall always be greatly obliged for any printed communication referring to what is being done for the Chinese in your quarters. There has been some agitation here against emigration to Honolulu, on the plea that letters had been received from there by Chinese complaining of hard labor, and of being forced to make a contract. I gave six of my letters, in which no complaint had been mentioned, to the China Mail, and the editor printed them to show that the Christians did not complain of anything. Two slesmers had been stopped on account of this agitation, and great loss been inflicted on the parties concerned. The otheT letters containing the above mentioned complaints were received subsequently. I have written a Chinese letter to my people in Roman characters, and besides 1 got my teachers to write, one a letter on money matters, and the other who is Catechist a letter on doctrine and general subjects concerning them. I also send them a copy of a poem which describes the famine now devastating the North of China so fearfully. It is said that 70 per cent, are perishing from want of food.. The people are now eating earth, to satisfy the cravings of the stomach, but thereby only prolong their sufferings, as death is inevitable. Whole villages are deserted. The dead are unburied, and sickness must follow in the wake of this dreadful famine. The Lord is visiting China with his judgment,—may many be turned from sin and darkness, to take refuge in the living God. In Cantqn a whirlwind has caused great de- struction.

M �Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: To visit thefatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world. Edited by a Committee of the Y. M. C. A. The following poem, by the late W. C. Bryant, was written when he was 19 years of age, and first published in the 'North American Review m 1817: Thanatopsis, or Contemplation of Death. To bim who, in tbe love of Nature, holds Communion with her visible forma, she tpeaka A various language. For his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beaut; ; and the glides Into his darker musings with a mild And gentle sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere be is aware. When thoughts Of tbe lost bitter hour come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of tbe stern agony, and shroud, and pall, And breathless darkness, and tbe narrow house, Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart, Go forth unto the open sky, and list To nature's teachings, while from all around Earth and her waters, and the depths of air— Comes a still voice—Yet a few days and thee The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his course. Nor yet in tbe oold ground, Wheat thy pale form was laid, with many tears, Nor in Ibe embrace of ocean, shall exist Thy image. Earth, tbat nourished Ihee, shall claim, Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again ; And, lost eaob human trace, surrendering np Thine individual being, sbalt thou go To mix forever .with the elements. To be a brother to the insensible rock And to the sluggish clod, which the rnde swain Turns with his share, and trends upon. Tbe oak Shall send his roots abroad, and pieroe thy mould. Yet Dot to thy eternal resting-place Shalt thou retire alone ; nor couldst thou wish Couoh more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings, Tbe powerful of the earth—tbe wise, tbe good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre. The bills, Rook-ribbed and ancient as the aan ; the Tales, Stretching in pensive quietness between ; The venerable woods ; rivers that move In majesty ; and the complaining brooks, Tbat make tbe meadow green; and, poured round all, Old ocean's gray and melancholy waste, Are but the solemn decorations all Of tbe great tomb of man. Tbe golden sun, The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, Are shining on tbe sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages.

Yet how little is doing comparatively for their evangelization. In the last report of the Y. M. C. A., we find that the sum of $440.75, (as published in the Friend for June) was expended for the Chinese mission. Beyond this we are not aware as anything has been done pecuniarily during the past year. A little better show for the coming year is apparent, a colporteur having been employed on the Kohala Plantation, who is paid by that plantation. Another colporteur is called for at Hilo, but no one has as yet been secured. Has not the time come when vigorous — efforts should be made to secure the services of a Chinese-speaking foreign missionary, who will organise a well-digested system of evangelistic efforts among our Chinese population, now numbering several thousands ? Here is a noble and open field. The work has already been commenced. Mr. Sit Moon reports 120 Chinese Christian converts, including those who have arrived from China, coming from under the faithful labors of the Swiss or German missionaries. This is a subject, not of secondary importance, but claiming some well-digested plan of operation. No foreign immigrants on our Islands are becoming more identified with the future inhabitants of the Hawaiian Kingdom. They are quiet, industrious, saving, enterprising and law-abiding. They are accessible to the evangelist, if any one will go among them who can communicate with them in their own language or the Hawaiian or English. The evening school of Mr. Dunscombe during the past ten years indicates what might be done if the proper efforts are put forth. Here is a field ripe for the harvest. The Sabbath school, Sunday afternoon, at Fort Street, is in the right direction. Those instructing Chinese in their own families are doing good work. Sat Fan preaches to a respectable congregation of his countrymen at the Bethel, Sabbath evening. The Chinese Y. M. C. A. has made also a The Rev. Dr. Hyde preached at the Fort Street Church on Sabbath evening, June 23d. His subject was " Home Evangelization," a topic most happily chosen for the annual anniversary sermon on Home Missions, before the foreign community of Honolulu. Many of the facts, statements and statistics we have no doubt were ([uite new, even to many old residents and church-going people in Honolulu. While the reverend gentlemen gave due honor to the operations of the English, Catholic and American missions, not forgetting even the Mormons, and complimenting the foreign churches in Honolulu, Hilo and Makawao, we were somewhat surprised that he entirely ignored the efforts of the Young Men's Christian Association in behalf of the large Chinese element in our is'and community. The Chinese were not even alluded to, except among the "foreign population of the islands," while no reference was made to evangelistic efforts in their behalf. We have no thought that Dr. Hyde intentionally would ignore, overlook or undervalue this effort, because in his Theological School he has given gra- good beginning. tuitous instruction to a Chinese student, Sat Fan, now employed as colporteur in HonoThe Y.
