Rowell, of Waimea, Kauai,) expects to leave his station as Seamen's Chaplain at Aspinwall, New Granada, and remove to San Francisco. His health and that of his family has become impaired by a residence at Panama and Aspinwall since 1851. During his residence upon the Isthmus, he has been a most zealous and successful minister of the gospel, and we congratulate the 57 jiOlu Series, lioi. 17 The highest wall tall in the world is in the Sandwich Island*, and is Minted to lie between four and five thousand feet high.

We copy the above from one of our American exchanges. It is one of those extravagant statements that is ridiculously and amusingly absurd ! Int-tead of " thousands," it should read "hundreds." There is a stream falling about four hundred feet on Hawaii, if we have been correctly informed. Will some person on that island furnish us the facts upon this subject? The Atlantic "Monthly,"—for July, has found its way to the Editor's table. This is a Monthly that will be appreciated by persons fond of choice reading, furnished by writers of unquestionable talent. In a literary way it stands at the head of American Monthlies. The articles entitled "Catacombs of Rome," contain facts of interest respecting the early Christians, under the Roman Emperors. "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," is worthy of perusal. We hope to find additional numbers upon our tablefrom the same source. To Friends ok Seamen.—Any persons having books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapeis, tke., which they are willing or wishing should be distributed among seamen, arc requested to forward the same to the depository, at the " Sailor'si Home."

Exchange. — Joseph II., Emperor of Austria, was driving a one-horse Royal Anecdote.—As cabriolet, dressed in the garb of a private citizen, he was accosted by a soldier, who mistaking him for a man of the middle class, requested a seat in the vehicle. Willingly," replied the Emperor ; "jump in, comrade, I'm in a hurry." The soldier was soon seated alongside of the Emperor, and became very loquacious. "Come, comrade," said he, slapping the Emperor familiarly on the back, "are you " good at guessing?" I am," said Joseph ; try me." " Perhaps Well then, my boy, conjure up" your wits and" tell me what I had for breakfast!" ■' Sour-krout!" " Come, none of that, comrade, try it again."

" Better Lord help me," cried the soldier, "you're the" Emperor ?" He threw himself out of the cabriolet, and knelt for pardon in the mud. The circumstances were not forgotten by either; the Emperor often laughed over it, and the soldier received a mark of favor which he could not forget. �Have We any Antiquarians amongst us? The following paragraphs, copied from a letter written by a student in Cambridge University, Massachusetts, contains a suggestion which, if followed out, might lead to interesting and important results : " There is a suggestion that I should like to make, and that is, that some one should compile, and have published, a full account of the Hawaiian mythology and institutions prior to the introduction of Christianity. " Tho accounts we have now are very meagre. That of Jarves, (History Hawaiian Islands) is the best I have ever seen, but that comes far short of satisfying one who desires to understand the subject. It should be done also, as a duty due the Hawaiian race. No just estimate of their progress can be formed without a knowledge of these things. It should be done quickly too. The old natives are fast dying off, and probably much that is valuable is irrecoverably lost. Few yet remain like John li, and Kekuanaou, who could furnish much that would be exceedingly interesting and useful to a student of the problem of moral devclopement. It has struck me thnt there may have been a spiritual meaning attached to some of the wild old legends,,like the famous one of Lono for instance, which meaning, even through one vague glimpse of it, would let in much light upon the origin and nature of the people. "The preservation of ancient forms of prayer, and the ritual in special religious celebrations, would be worthy of the effort made to obtain them, from the insight they would give into the hearts of the heathen. " I hope that some one will think this object of sufficient importance to claim, at least, a part of his leisure time in its investiW. F. S." tion. Most earnestly we commend the foregoing to the thoughtful consideration of the Missionaries, or some of their sons, well versed in the Hawaiian language and history. It opens a field for literary and antiquarian investigation, worthy of being entered. A volume might be filled with disquisitions upon the old tabu-system extending over all the " isles of the South," as well as the Hawaiian Islands. Among the Marquesans, one of the idol-gnds ofHawaii, has been introduced within a few years. There are traditional customs among Hawaiians pointing in the direction of the Jews. Is there no patient, but enthusiastic, student of Hawaiian annals who will investigate and bring to light things both new and old." Now is the time to work. " Efforts in Behalf of Seaman at Shanghai China. The following paragraphs we copy from a private letter from Mr. A. L. Freeman, an American merchant, .residing at Shanghai. It bears date January 7, 1857, and although more than a twelve-month old, was received by the late mail from California : " The sailor is the world's missionary, and when converted has a world-wide influence. It is a cheering fact that the Christian world is more interested in the welfare of the sailor than in times past. The prospect for the future, with God's blessing, is encouraging. Here in Shanghai, through the liberality of the merchants, $2000 have been subscribed to build a Floating Bethel. Last week it was launched, and in a few weeks more it will be completed. The Bethel Flag was hoisted for the first time on the first Sabbath morning in July last. A hulk, used to heave down vessels with, was kindly loaned for the purpose. The meetings have been well attended. The missionaries, in connection with Mr. Hobson, the chaplain to the foreign residents, have heartily co-operated in the work, and conducted the services twice on the Sabbath. In addition to this mark of interest in the cause, a Seamen's Cemetery has been purchased and laid out within the last six months, at an expense of $1600, also a contribution of the merchants of Shanghai. It is situated on the opposite bank of the river, about a half mile from the foreign settlement, a beautiful spot for the last restingplace of those who come to this land of strangers. Those who have died among the shipping, have been buried in the cemetery adjoining the settlement, but the large number who die annually has rendered it necessary to provide a larger place, and as a result, the cemetery above mentioned has been purchased and laid out as a seamen's burial place. A Relief Fund, amounting to a few hundred dollars, to be added to as occasion may demand, has been subscribed for the sick and destitute sailors that from time to time find their way here. " The Seamen's Hospital, a private concern, has been renovated and enlarged the past summer, and made more comfortable." " Tolerance and Intolerance. From a new work, entitled Brazil and the Brazilians, it appears that although Brazil is thoroughly a Catholic country, yet free toleration is granted to all dissenters, of whatever name or sect. This is a remarkable fact, and stands forth marked and distinct upon the history of the Catholic portion of the earth. Cross the Andes, enter Chile, and even now the Bishop of Santiago is highly incensed that Protestants should have been allowed to erect houses of worship in Valparaiso. Until recently, the English Episcopal Church has been registered as a stable. It is due to the Rev. D. Trumbull, Seamen's Chaplain and Pastor of a Congregational Church, that Protestants have taken a prominent position in the city ofValparaiso. Since Mr. Trumbull's Society opened their Chapel, the English have erected a new and costly church edifice. These progressive movements have called forth the censures of the Catholic Priesthood, although the people at large sympathize but little with their religious teachers in this matter. 59 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1858.

In the last No. of the Polynesian, the editor intimates that some may "be discouraged or frightened away by false shame." Verily this is an insinuation against human nature that strikes out sensorium oddly enough. What, a man, a woman, a child, ashamed to make a deposit in a savings bank! All we can add is simply this: If any person's mind is so unbalanced and sadly biassed as to be influenced by a motive of this nature,—false shame,—in a matter of this nature, then we should confidently expect he would eventually be supported by his friends and be buried by subscription. We have lately seen the statement going the rounds of the newspapers, that the California and Australian mines had yielded, during the last ten years, between six and seven hundred millions of gold. This is a very large amount to be thrown into the circulation of the world. Another statement recently attracted our attention. A British writer states that the Revolutionary War carried on by England with the United States, from 1774 to 1782, cost England the sum of £136,000,000, or $880,000,000! An A late religious paper stigmatizes the amount equal to at least one-half of this must authors of yellow covered novels as literary have been expended by the United States. to death who virtue with sting scorpions, Verily, war is an expensive affair their tales. �60 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1858. dence is a plant of slow growth."

How to Spend the Sabbath.—In a recent work by the distinguished Professor of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh, we find the following glowing paragraphs on Sabbath occupations:—•• Kest assured that the more the phvsinlogist advances in the exact knowledge of his science, the more will he be convinced that the physiology of the Sabbath, as contained by manifest implication in God's revealed word, is not only true, but imbedded there, and embodied in corresponding enactments, alike in wisdom and in mercy. And the more faithfully man observes the Sabbath according to God's law, the purer pleasure and the higher happiness w.ill be his. Let him walk on the Sabbath ; but let it be, Enoch-like, with God—walking to or/*in the sanctunrv, whether that he roofed by mortal hand, or canopied by the spacious firmament. Let him read on the Sabbath ; but let it be of God and godliness—not concerning the things of time which are seen, but touching the great things which are not seen, and arc eternal. Let him talk on the Sabbath ; but let his conversation bo as "becometh the gospel of Christ." Let him meditate; but let it be on the law of God, "day and night," that he may observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then he shall make his way prosperous, and then he shall have good success. Let him cat on the Sabbath; but while the sustenance of the body is not neglected, let his soul's feeding be upon the " bread of life." Let him drink on the Sabbath ; but let it be of the "water of life," and that freely. Power of Sea Breakers.—From experiments which were made some time since, at the Bell Rock and Sherryvore lighthouse, on the coast of Scotland, it was found, that while the force of the breakers on the side of the German Ocean may be taken at about a ton and a half upon every square foot of surface exposed to them, the Atlantic breakers fall with double that weight, or three tons to the square foot; and thus a surface of only two square yards sustains a blow from a heavy Atlantic breaker, equal to about 54 tons. In Nov., 1824, a heavy gale blew, and blocks of limestone and granite from 2 to 5 tons weight, were washed about like pebbles at the Plymouth breakwater. About 300 tons of such blocks were borne a distance of 200 feet and up the inclined plane of the breakwater, carried over it and .scattered in various directions. A block of limestone, 7 tons, was in one place washed a distance of 150 feet. Blocks of 3 tons weight were torn away by a single blow of n breaker, and hurled over into the harbor, and one of nearly 2 tons, strongly trenailed down upon a jetty,was torn away and tossed upwards by an overpowering breaker. �61 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1858.

The miller's son was urging upon the squire's son the importance of finding what truth the Bible enwhich the squire's son parried by snyit was " no matter wliat a man believes, ided he's sincere." The rattling, offhand of the young man pleased Jack, and he ed he could talk so, " Wouldn't h« shut liis grand-sire 1 Yes, that he would!" matter what a man believes, providedhe's re," said Jack to himself, bridling up, bmcing his conscience aguinst the godly conversation of his relatives. " He'd fix 'em now," he said, with a sly cant of his h":id. It was not until late in the afternoon that the boys' grist was roady ; when the old mare was brought out of the shed, the batr hoisted on her back, and Jack and David both mounted her —bag, boys and mare homeward boun I. " You've got a longer ride ahead than I wish you had, boys," said the miller, casting his eyes towards a black cloud which was rising and darkening the western sky. " There's plenty of water up there for my mill." The mare set briskly off", arid was soon lost to sight among the windings of the forest road. But the gloom gathered faster than the horse trotted, and it was quite dark when they reached a fork in the road, where it might make a very considerable difference which path they took home. One was the traveled road. This way there w-.is a good bridge over Bounding Brook, a mountain stream, which was often dangerously swelled by the spring rains. It was the safest though the longest way home. The other was a wood path through the pines, often taken in good weather by the furmcrs living on the east side of the town, to the Corner. In this road Bounding Brook was crossed by fording. " Father told us to be sure and take the traveled road, if 'twas late," said David. "Going to," said Jack; and the mare stopped at the fork, as if to let the boys be sure which to take. In fact, Jack was a little confused. The windings of the road with nothing but woods on each side, and of course no distinct landmarks to govern him; the gloom of the night hiding what objectsmight have served to direct him, together with his small acquaintance with the road, did puzzle the boys, although Jack, being the older of .the two, with a dash of pride about him, would not own it. As the mare stopped he came to a conclusion, and whipped up. "All f'd, right," h. cried. " Dave; you be still," cried Jack, angrily. "I think we ought to ask, so as to be sure," persisted David. But Jack whipped up, and poor David's fears and words went to the. winds, as gust after gust of the coming shower roared through the forest, and Jack urged the horse to all the speed which her he.ivy load would allow, on and on through the dark woods. Jack was well pleased with the correctness of his hasty decision about the way; and the further he went, the more and more confirmed was he that it was the right way. Presently the roarings of Bounding Brook arose above the rattling of the woods. "A switch over the mnre's haunches, and we shall be over the bridge in a jiffy," cried Jack ; " then, old fellow, what'll you say ?" David privately muttered, " He'd like to feel himself over," when, a few more canters, nnd—Jack, David, meal and mare were floundering in the raging waters of the swollen stream, pitch dark, the storm on them, and miles from human help. The first few moments of horrible surprise it were in vain to paint. Jack at last found himself anchored on a log of drift-wood, the icy waters breaking over him, and the bridle still fast in his hand. " David !" he shouted at the top of his voice ; " David ! " " The Lord have mercy!" cried David, I'm somewhere." The meal ? ah, that was making a pudding in some wild eddy of the Bounding Brook, far below. " No matter what a fellow believes, provided he's sincere," cried poor Jack, thoroughly drenched and humbled. "It's the biggest lie the devil ever got up. It is matter. Being right is the main thing. Sincerity don't save a fellow from the tremendous consequences of being wrong—that it don't. Then what's the use of all a fellow's sincerity ? It can't get him out of the scrape; he's got to take it. Lord hep us! Didn't I honestly believe I was on the bridge of the traveled road, when I was like going to perdition in the ford of the wood path! Lord help us!" And the woful disasters of that night completely and forever cured poor Jack of a popular error which has pitched many a poor soul in the wildersurges of unbeliefand " irreligion. What a Heathen Said.—Plutarch speaks of a long white beard of an old Laconian, who, on being asked why he let it grow to such a length, replied : "It is that, having my white beard continually before my eyes, I may do nothing unworthy of its whiteness." The Bible is like a wide and beautiful landscape seen afar off", dim and confused; but a good telescope will bring it near, and spread out all its trees and rocks and flowers, and verdant fields and winding rivers, at one's very feet. That telescope is the Holy Spirit. Editorial Remarks. —Above, we give the title-page of an old volume, containing the narrative of a voyage round the world. During the voyage, the vessel touched at the Sandwich Islands. The writer appears to have been the supercargo of the vessel. The voyage was undertaken at his suggestion, by British merchants, in order to extend British commerce upon the north-west coast of Americi. The vessel left England in Mny, 1800, proceeding on her voyage, touching at Madeira, Brazil, Cape of Good Hope, Sydney, Norfolk Island, Tahiti, at length arrived at the Sandwich Islands, on her passage to the N. W. coast. Thinking our readers will be interested in the writer's observations upon the islands and their inhabitants, we purpose re-publishing those chapters of the book relating to the Sandwich Islands. We have been induced to pursue this course from the favorable reception which has been given by our readers to the re-publication of Campbell's residence on Oahu. We would merely add that the volume of "Turnbull's voyage" is very rare. This is the only one we havo ever met with, and we presume more of our readers not only never saw the book, but even never heard of it. We are confident only one American edition was ever published, and that appeared in 1810. — Adieu to the Society Islands Ludicrous circumstance in the passage, between the Otaheitan natives and our seamen Arrival at the Sandwich Islands—Commerce Trading—Desertion of our Carpenter. Leaving Maura, we bid adieu for the present to the Society Islands, and stood on our course for the Sandwich Islands. This voyage furnished no occurrences out of the common order. The seamen, in their manner, amused themselves by representing to the natives of Otaheite on board, the dangers that awaited them in crossing a certain part of the sea, meaning the equinoctial line, where they would certainly be harassed by infernal spirits rising out of the water. These stories had a powerful oflect on the poor strangers, who had moreover for some time been extremely uneasy and impatient to see land once more, and appeared most sincerely to regret their imprudence in embarking on a voyage to which they could discover no bounds. So great was their terror at the moment, that I am persuaded had any land been in sight, they would have taken themselves off without leave; but as there was no back-door, they were compelled to submit so their (sate; and —— �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, .358. 62 their terror furnished an inexhaustible fund of amusement to our mischievous sailors. In their distress they at last applied to be informed as to the truth of what the sailors had said, and on being- undeceived, gave a scope to their joy in the most extravagant manner, leaping and hallooing about the deck, as if their minds had at once been relieved from the most dreadful apprehensions. It was however out of my power to prevent very beneficial to all navigators who since his time have touched at the island. A few similar instances of justice would have more efficacy in ensuring the safety of our intercourse with this people, than any of those wanton and ill-judged cruelties which, under the circumstance of the slightest quarrel with these natives, are but too commonly practised. The natives showed the utmost eagerness to get on board the ship; but when all their attempts were opposed, and themselves forced back into their canoes by our new-made marines, they at last contented themselves with lying at a little distance, conversing with our Otaheitan natives. After some time, appeared one of the deputy chiefs of the island, under Tamahama, whose approach created no small stir and bustle among the other islanders in their endeavoring to open a passage for him. But as many of their canoes were crowded and entangled together, they were, in the hurry, run down by the canoe of this great man, who took not the least notice of the disaster he had so wantonly occasioned, or rather who affected this cavalier behavior, with the intention of impressing us with a high idea of his rank and consequence in the country. The poor natives, recovering their canoes, cleared them of the water, got into them again, and remained near the ship, without expressing the smallest dissatisfaction or complaint on account of the them from going through the operation of shaving, &c., usually performed by seamen on persons crossing the line for the first time, and considered by them too serious a privilege to surrender to any remonstrance. We could discover that the whole of this business had made a deepimpression on the Otahitans, and that they promised themselves much pleasure in recounting their adventures to their countrymen on their return ; when the truth would doubtless receive abundant embellishm* nt, for these islanders are naturally fond of the marvellous, and are not even scrupulous in the accounts they give of any extraordinary events that fall in their way. The wind being scanty in the latter part of our voyage, the first land wp made was Whahoo, an island subject to Tamahama, the great chief of tlie Sandwich Islands. Here we opened a trade with the inhabitants for salt, which we found much scarcer and dearer than we had expected. The increased price was occasioned, not only by the scarcity, but by the frequent intercourse the natives tyranicnl treatment of the chief.

When our business was over, we settled our accounts with the chief just mentioned, who was receiver-general for the King. He then left the ship, and, to our astonishment, was accompanied by every native, taking to their paddles, and making for the land with all possible speed. One canoe, the one which had brought off one of Tamahama's naval officers, alone remained. We inquired of this person the meaning of the sudden departure of his countrymen, but he declared he was totally ignorant of the cause, and neither could nor would give us any satisfaction. Being apprehensive of treacherous projects against us, either on the part of the islanders or of their chiefs, it at first occurred to us secure the person of this officer us a pledge for our safety ; but on further consideration of thedifficulties to which this step might expose not only us, but other furure European navigators, we judged it most prudent to suffer him to depart. As soon as he had left us, beginning now to suspect the true cause of the hasty departure of our visitor*, 1 mado inquiry amongst our people whether they had not found means to steal some nrticles belonging to the ship ; and from their general precipitation, and general flight, my mind suggested to me that the theft was of no Ordinary consequence. It was some time before I could procure a satisfactory answer; but it was at length discovered that our carpenter had secretly conveyed himself into one of the canoes, and had thus been carried on shore. Such is the difficulty, nay almost impossibility, of maintaining the necessary complement of men in these voyages, that I could almost recommend that no one should hazard the attempt, unless, as in a king's ship, he can support his authority by martial law. Nothing, as we have before mentioned, can withstand the seduction and artifices of the southern islanders; women, and a life of indolence, are too powerful for the sense of duty in the minds of our seamen. Had we relaxed our efforts for a single moment, our ship would have been deserted. The acquisition of such a person was of inestimable value to Tamahama, and there seemed to be little doubt that, conscious of the value of their prize, they would defend it with their utmost efforts. Our force, moreover, was wholly inadequate to compel them to restore him ; and in endeavoring to recover one of our ship's company we should have run the ri**k of losing many more by similar desertion. From these and other reasons, we thought it moro prudent to put up with our loss. |To b* contlnurrt.) The Marriage Service.—Sir John Bowring, the British Ambassador to China, who, by the way, wrote " Watchman, Tell us of the Night," as well as many other charming pieces of church psalmody, is said to be not only a very eccentric, but a very opiniated man. On one occasion he was animadverting upon the " wickedness," as he expressed it, of the marriage service, as prescribed by the Church of England. " Look at it," said with this ring I thee wed—that's sorhe cery ;" with my body I thee worship—that's idolatry; and with my worldly goods I thee endowAthat's a lie." �63 TBE I'Kins.
