The Poet's Corner.
The Seamen's Friend.
For the Kriend.
A VALITUDINARIAN'S VALEDICTORY.
To nit highly esteemed and dearly loved Christianfriendi
at the Islands.
It was the Golden Rule, I fear,
Uiirie;!iienusly reversing,
For me to bring among you here
An invalid for nursing;
But ye were all so very kind,
My modesty—dull Quaker—
I fear has slept! while I, resigned,
Had quite f vrgot to wake her!
And so, long days and nights have flown
In rapid alternation,
Till you miy think my visit grown
A downright vitilalimt
Proving in me, forsooih, the art
Of keeping conscience plastic;—
In you, a friendship and a heart,
Composed of gum-elastic!
Your heart-warm welcome of tb* bines,
Haih lent me power to smother,
And kindness, worlds beyond my dues;
You've shown, aa towards a brother.
The delvt of love that hath accrued,
I tremble when I say it,—
Is nnw so vast thnt I, if sued.
Must go to gaol to pay it!
—
—
,
And yet, if kindness can he paid,
By Adam's son or daughter,
And friendship he exchanged in trade,
(Men o't have sold and bought her!)
FV warmer friindship in return,
And tense o r" o' l station.
There sure I feel within me hum
, The pa\jinj-of sensation.
One sweet, responsive s ring I've kenned
Upon my heart's guitar,
That tleeply vibrates when the hand
Of inem'ry lingers there.
Forth, now, it pours its music wide,
As 'twere, a heavy ocean,
And swells my bosom with a tide,
Of grateful, fond emotion.
Of all your nohle deeds and kind,
Not one unheeded paases;
For oft doth love, though reckoned blind,
Wear magnifying.glasses.
The cop of kindness' ye have lent,
A strangers heart to gladden,
May Heaven to your own lips present,
When aught your souls may sadden.
So take ye now my parting hand,
My parting love expressing,
God smile upon your noble hand;
God grant you every blessing;
And cmwn yoar toiling, with success,
Your pathway all made even,
And cheer you while you onward press,
To gain the goal of Heaven.

HONOLULU, OCTOBER 21, 1847.
Arrivals Extraordinary.
For a long season our community ha*
been in doubt what vessels might be expected, or whether any had Bailed from the U.
States for this port. The Minstrel, Doane,
123 days, and Angola, Varnoy, 128 day*,
are unexpected, but welcome, visiters. Both
vessels arrived the same day, having made
remarkably quick passages. The Medora,
Shoot, is reported to have left Boston, May
19th, for this port direct, and has now been
out over 150 days, hence her arrival is hourly expected.
The following extract from a lettter of an
old resident at the Islands, but now living
near Boston, contains some items of public
