Kallmann, Molokai, Nov. IS, 1845. inRev. 8. C. Damon:— Dear Sir,-—I received the enclosed from a correspondent of mine at 'Tahiti, and while reading it, the thought came across my 'mind to send it to an editor in the I). States with whom I am partially acquainted, as it seemed to me adapted to correct the mistaken feeling in the minds of some persons, resulting from a casual observation and consequent judgement of native christians in these islands. The writer, with whom I became acquainted at Tahiti, was sent as a missionary by the London Missionary Society, first to the Marquesas, and from thence was transferred to Tahiti, My intention to send it to the Y. States, was altered by a wish to see it in the Friend, shouM you think proper, and have ro<>m to publish it. Yours sincerely, C. B. Andsews. 177 . INi~EU.IQENCE. !¥•.

The pleasure springing from the fulfilment of enlarged benevolent design* which, animates the heart on leaving home, is here supplaced by the most miserable disappointment and the heart is left to weep over its fallen hopes, its blighted prospects, and the base ingratitude which returns all our efforts by cold indifference. Oh! how withering to the fresh love of ,the young missionary, the heartless coldness wl.ich meet him at every step. How different indeed from the picture drawn by a Williams. The feelings which you have expressed are the feelings of many, if not all, when they come first into contact with the.people. Never shall I forget the withering effect upon the whole of my fellow voyagers, winch our first contact with savage and heathen life produced—nor tie deep disappointment when we landed upon Tahiti. But my feelings and views are not now what they were then. I, like most had read the works of Ellis, Williams, &c. The glowing picture had dazzled the imagination—expectation had risen far aitoie what sober reflection would liave w arrautcd us to expect, .and disappointment was the result. But the fault, ] afterwards found, lay not so' much with the actual Hate ju( things as with myself. More or lew of the novelty of circumstunces mingles v. ith the views of every inexperienced missionary.— His imagination heated by the warmth of missionary society ip his native laud, hv comes more to admire the triumphs uokjiajved, and to carry on the work so piospaiouely begun, than to encounter difficulty and apposition!

Does every sanctimonious face Denote tbe certain reign of (race t Does not a phiz that scowlea at sin Oft veil hypocrisy within ? la it to make our daily walk, And of our own good dasda to talk. Yet often practice secret crime. And thus misspend our precious time. Is it for sect and creed to fight. To call our zeal the rule of right, When what we wish w, at the beet. To ace our church excel the rest. Is it to wear the Christian dress, And love to all mankind profess, To treat with acorn tbe humble poor, And bar againet them every door. O, no ! religion means not this. Its fruit more sweet and fairer til— Its precept is—to others do As you would have them do to you. It grieves to bear an illreport, And acorns with human woes to sport— Of others' deeds it speaks no ill. But telle of good, or else keeps still. And does religion this impart !

Fearful scenes curiosity being somewhat excited to know how* he got such an idea, I added in a milder tone, ' What makes you think we shall get stove to-day, Jo V Oh,' said my dark-complexioned shipmate, It's of no use to tell you anything about it; you dont believe in dreams.' 'Oh, ho! it's a dream then, is it ? Well tell ns, I beg of you, what your dream was about ?' 4 Why,' resumed Jo, I dreamed while I was sleeping in my berth in the morning watch, that I was riding in a wagon, an elegant wagon, which I borrowed from squire • .

Give way, boys ; give way !' 'At length ye reached the ship in safety; lowered the waist boat with all possible despatch, shoved off, and reached the mate just as the boat bad filled. She was badly stove, by a blow from the fluke of the whale, just as the mate was planting a couple of irons into him : one end was nearly knocked to pieces, but by getting all of them into the other end, the crew managed to keep her afloat until we came to their help. We took the mate's boat in tow aud carried her to the ship, where we hoisted her in ; we did the same to tbe starboard boat, the captain's, which was first struck, and stopped the hole as well as we could, by nailing a piece of tnrred canvas over it; we then shoved off in the waist boat which lay alongside ; leaving the mate to get the craft, that is, the lines, harpoons and lances, into the starboard boat, and follow us as soon as possible. The whale was lying still on the surface ofthe water; we pulled up to him, and the captain planted another harpoon into him solid. This did not seem to affect him much; so we approached to lance him.— We soon got near enough to dart thelance; but the captain preferred the surer method of setting, and held his hand for a moment. But just as he was nbont to set the lance into his vitals, the wicked monster rolled head up, opened wide his ponderous jaws, and made towards the bout ! Tbe captain darted the lance into his throat with great force, waich seemed to astonish him a good deal, and caused him to close his jaws just clear of the head of the boat. He then settled right down in the water, and in a moment after came up directly under amidsnips.

Momentous thought ! another year lias winged its rapid flight, 'Tis past with all its sights and scenes Forever from our sight— Tis gone with all its hopes and fears— Its joys and sorrows—smiles and tears. On the clote Vain mortals ! insects of an hour, How fleeting is your life, How hard you toil for wealth and power, All eager for the strife ; Why would ye grasp an empty name A tyrant's or a miser's fame .' My youth's companions, where are ye ? And thou, the fondly loved— The world's a dreary waste to me Since from your midst I roved ; Have ye run out life's latest sands. Or gone like me to foreign lands ? Alas ! for many a saddened heart Will mourn Ihe year that's gone, To whom the world can ne'er impart The joys forever flown ; Nor bring I hem back, the loved—the lost— The beautiful—the parent's boast. Bleat is the man whore mental eye, Looks far beyond the world, He sees the glories of I ho sky Harmoniously unfurled— Bright vision of eternal youth, Eternal as the God of truth. Honolulu, Dec. 31st.

Kor pagan regions, cjraped with sin's dark pall, Stained deep with sins we shudder to recall; To scatter light, that thus the .human mind, By knowledge, virtue, niety, r<tined,' ifighi burst the midnight fetters, and inspire The soul with wisdom, and a pure desire To worship Him, who. while unknown they sought In various ways, unlearned and untaught, By offering up their first horn to atone Kor crimes'and follies which hy them were done; For these, the Messed Legates of the skies, Left their loved home of Massed memories; Left for their sakes the hrighest spots of earih, To tell the Indian of a Saviour's hirlh; To preach repentance 10 their fellow men, \ml thus at last, a glorious crown to gain; In that great day for which all days were made," There snail you stand in glorious robes arrayed, Behold your crowns ! see liow they sparkle bright ! Each jewel polished with celestial light! Let faith exert her saving power to view, What in reserve, is wailing now for you; See on these unknown shores a smiling band, Of angel seraphs; children, hand in hand, Waiting lor ypu, they sweep their golden lyres, The thoughts of meeting eveiy note inspires. Hush then your sighs, rejoice that you have given Your first-born beauties to your God in heave*; Rejoice that you have left your native land, Obeyed your risen Saviour's last command, 11 Go ye, and teach all nations in my name, Go, and salvation every where proclaim, la all your trials, lift your eye to me, Kor white I am. there surely yon shall be."
