For a long time the necessity of a Public Hospital has been seriously felt in Honolulu. This necessity has been felt by foreigners as well as natives. While.Honolulu, for more than a quarter ot7"a century, has not been without its hospitals for American and British seamen, still thfose have not fully met the necessities of thej public. While many have felt kindly disposed towards the entererecting and sustainprise, the great ing such establishments has been hitherto an Even that, it is now confiden/ny hoped, will be overcome. Our youtjffful King and Queen, taking a faview of the subject, have been pleased to take the initiative steps. His Majesty, rightly imagining that no one could more iafable successfully than himself collect funds for this object, with subscription in hand, and accompanied by his private secretary, goes forth among his people. The subscriptions obtained, as now published, ore the happy results of this effort of His Majesty. Such an effort among his — : : will be preliminary steps taken for organizing a cor- community. poration to manage the funds collected, and Free-will Offerings. for carrying out the undertaking.

Facts in regard to the genuine usefulness of the early missionaries to these islands are coming to light, which proclaim in trumpettones that Hawaiians maybecome Christians. The social position andstanding of these converts may not haye been among the " upper ten," still that is a matter of small account. The time has not arrived for the inhabitants of our globe to hnve their true moral position assigned them in the universe of accountable and intelligent beings. " Many that arc first shall be last, and the last shall be first," declures our Savior. In another portion of our columns will be found an intensely interesting account of a Sandwich Islander taken from a raft in the mid-Indian-Ocean, by the Rev. William Ellis, formerly an English missionary nt these Islands. The residence of Mr. Ellis in Honolulu was from Feb. 4, 1823, to 18th August, 1824. It was during this period that he made the "Tour of Hawaii," an account of which was published, and obtained a wide circulation both in England and the United States. That volume has been out of print for many years, but it is really one of the most interesting works ever published upon the Sandwich Islands. In IS4-1, it was our privilege to make the tour of the same island, and Mr. Ellis' book was our guide, which we found to be most accurate and entertaining, as we rode on horse-back, sailed in canoes, or tramped on foot over the the rough clinkers. In our columns will also be found another brief account of a Sandwich Island sailor, who died in the triumphs of a Christian's faith. He too was cruising far away in the Indian ocean, on a passage from Australia to Calcutta. Read " Bread upon the waters." Such incidents as these speak volumes in favor of the cause of Foreign Missions. They rebuke the sceptic, reprove the lakewarm friends of the cause, and encourage those who are conscientiously laboring to obey the command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." t Editor's Table. The following publications have been re, ceived at the Friend office. In acknowledging \he same, we would express our thanks to those parties who have forwarded them. If our limits were not so narrow, we should most gladly make quotations for the benefit of our readers: Poverty: —Three essays for the season, by .Charles P. Krauth. Published at Httsburrrh, jPenn,, U. S. A., by W. S. Haven. This is on exceedingly interesting pamphlet of 48 pages, in which the Perpetuity, the Causes npd the Relief of Poverty are ably discussed.

The Work of God in Philadelphia, A. D. 1858; prepared by the Young Men's Christian Association.. It is a pamphlet of 83 pages, giving an account of the great awakening in that city. This is a carefully prepared document, and its general circulation will tlo immense good. That city has been remarkably favored during the gracious outpouring of the Spirit upon the American Zion. The following paragraph alluding to therevival in that city, we copy from a secular paper—the Philadelphia Ledger : "The most noticeable feature of the present religious movement is, that it springs up . River, and other portions of their colonies. The island, dwellings and improvements were tendered as a free gift to the Pitcairners on condition that they removed thither. Favorable as were these terms, some of the people have become dissatisfied. A few days since a whale-ship reported that seventeen had returned to Pitcairn's Island. The officer of the whale-ship who made this statement, had landed upon the island and spent two nights with those who had returned. He reported that about forty more would soon arrive. This will explain allusions to the subject of removal relerred to in the following letter, which we have just received, but dated before the party left Norfolk Island. We regret that a previous letter which he had written has not, as yet, come to hand : Norfolk Island, Dec. 27, 1858. directly among the people themselves.

The former suffers minds, and fits them better to grapple with more, I believe, from want of food to which the cares of the day." they have been accustomed, than a change Pitcairn's and Norfolk Islands. The reading public has been informed of the praiseworthy effort of the British Government to remove the inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island to Norfolk Island. The reason assigned for removal was the very limited amount of arable land upon the island. Pitcairn is a very small island, only four or five miles in circumference. A whale-boat can be rowed around it in one hour. It is high and rocky. Not one half of the actual area is capable of cultivation. The inhabitants had increased to nearly 200 when the removal took place, about two years ago. Norfolk Island is situated in the South Pacific, lat. 29 S., and long. 167° E. It is about four miles long and three wide. Many years ago, it was selected as a Penal Settlement for the most desperate criminals in England or the British Australian colonies. For many years, criminals were sent thi(her. They were there employed in building houses, prisons, a break-water, and every necessary public building or road. The discipline maintained is reported to have been severe. The expense of keeping up the establishment and other reasons induced the British Government to remove all the prisoners to Swan « of climate. I next give youVsome information that I suppose will make yV>u smile, as many humpbacks frequent our waters in calving time. We bought two boat?, lines, Arc.—we named one boat " Who'd ha>e thought it"—and as we have plenty of boilers on the island, we commenced whaling, and-~saved 130 barrels of oil, which I think, as our\yvhaleinen had scarcely ever seen a whale, was pretty good. And I am in hopes, if too many, do not leave for Pitcairn's, we shall do better next season. And now for Pitcairn's. A great many wish to return there, and I suppose if opportunity offers, will go. On the second of this month, two families left, namely, Matthew Young and his wife Margaret, (the widow of Matthew McCoy, who was killed by the discharge of the Bounty's gun) and family of six children—three others remain here (two of them, I believe, mean to return next opportunity),and Moses Young nnd his wife Albina and five children. I expect next April at least twenty more will leave, as an American whaling captain has promised to give them a passage—the family of Thursday, October, Christian and relatives. Those who left went in a brig of 100 tons, belonging to Van Diemcn's Land, called the Mary Ann. The owner engaged to take 60 adults at j£lo per head, and over 80, old and young, engaged to go, but it was such hard parting that the contract was broken, and it was decided that all should remain, and we agreed to give the �owner half the sum for the detention of his vessel, but he not feeling easy at taking this sum without doing something for it, it was concluded that some should go, and the two aforesaid families embarked accordingly. I send you this, perfavor of Capt. Murdock, but as he is not certain of touching at Honolulu before the fall, I do not like to send you any pines at present. I send you a manuscript chart of Norfolk Island, which 1 trust you wtll accept as a token of respect in lieu of a letter, and the first opportunity that offers I will not forget the pines. We have three ships here at present. The Nassau, Minerva, Swain, 1,400 sperm, and Sea Bird, merchantman, 72 ds. from S. Francisco, laden with spars, &c, bound to Sydney. We have had but three deaths since our arrival—one a child by accident, the other a child we did not expect to live when we left Pitcairn's, and the last a young woman, of consumption. I cannot inform you of the number of births, but I believe they are more prolific here than at Pitcairn's—and -the last eight born are all females. I believe we number 212 at present on this island. My kind respects to Mrs. Damon and family; to my kind friend General Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Janion, and all kind friends at Honolulu, not forgetting Mr. Andrew Johnstone. It may happen that I may again see Pitcairn's and have a better opportunity to correspond with you, but if not, Reverend Sir, I shall not forget you, and ever remain Yours sincerely, John Buffett, Senr. Passage of old missionary Packet from Boston to Honolulu. More than thirty years ago the American Board of Missions sent a small packet for the use of the mission, at the Sandwich Islands. She was commanded by James Hnnnewell, Esq., now owner of ships Syren, Polynesia, and other vessels. In a late letter from Mr. Hunnewell, we met with the following paragraphs : " The long passage of ship Syren, (extreme clipper of 1,064 tons register) seven months, has led me to look over my journalof passage out in the schooner Missionary Packet of 39J tons register, which I find was nine months from Boston to Lahaina, where I arrived in October, 1826. During this passage, with my decks but one foot above water, I was compelled to lay to many days with a fair wind, and during the nine months I anchored upwards of thirty times in upwards of twenty different ports and harbors ; in a number of the harbors, I was compelled by stress of weather to return and anchor more than once. " I had 68 days to Rio, where I spent, repairing, 15 days ; thence to the Straits of Le Mair and Cape Horn, 23 do.; off Cape Horn 9 days, and bore away and tried for the Straits of Magellan 9 days; 18 do. in one harbor in Faulkland Islands in June and July, 43 do.; in the Straits of Magellan, 17th July to 21st August, say 35 do.; thence to Valparaiso 11 days, and delayed there one day—l 2do.; thence to Honolulu via Lahaina, 47 do.; at Honolulu ended this memorable passage. and truly yours, " Very respectfully".Tames Hunnkwell." 1859. Americanizing England. Mr. Bright having been accused of an attempt to Americanize England by extending the right of suffrageand introducing other reforms which have their pattern in this country, in a late speech at Manchester he made the following speech : "But I protest against our being shut up to tuke nothing from America but cotton and rice and tobacco. (Laughter and applause.) And, in fact, we do take a good many other things. lam told that my friend, Mr. Piatt, ■ member of a very eminent (inn, has a wonderful machine from America with which to make bricks. We know that the agriculture of this country has been greatly advantaged by the importation of reaping machines from America. (Hear, hear.) We know that these persons who are going about so apprehensive of a revolution have particular reasons to be delighted with America, because they have received from that country the invention of the revolver. (Hear, and laughter.) At this moment in the Government smallarms establishment at Enfield, they have patent machinery for making gun-stocks. They can turn out a gun-stock, I am told, in 22 minutes fit for the barrel. What a dreadful thing to think of it! (Laughter.) And 1 am sure that Mr. Miles, if his protectionist principles have not long ago deserted him, will be horrified that they have actually brought Americans over to show the English how to work them. (Continued laughter.) But there is much more behind. The Times, the Morning Star, the Daily Telegraph, and the leading newspapers in this district, the Manchester Daily Examiner, with, I believe, two or three of the widely circulated London weekly papers, are all printed on machines which were either made in America, or, being made in this country, were made on the American patent. (Hear, hear, and applause.) And further than this, don't you remember that the West Enders, including even ladies, have been subscribing ten guineas apiece to invite a clever farmer from Ohio to show them how to tame a horse? (Great laughter.) You may delight yourself with their charming poets —with Bryant and Whittier, and Longfellow; you may interest and instruct yourself by their great historians—Bancroft and Prescott and Motley. But if you ask how free popular institutions are working among your own countrymen on the American Continent, you are denounced as unpatriotic, and, at any rate, treasonable to the House of Lords. (Hear, hear, and laughter)." Bread Upon the Waters. It has floated back from the Sandwich Isl- ands in a very singular manner, and is found again in the treasury of the American Board. Some months since a letter was received at the Missionary House, from Capt. Wilson, (commander of the ship James Brown,) together with the deed of a piece of land, the gift of a sailor who had been connected with that vessel, and was taken sick soon after the vessel left Australia on a voyage to Calcutta.* The captain furnishes the following interesting narrative : " Three or four days before my arrival at , Legislature of • The title was confirmed to the Board bynotthe of great Connecticut, and the property, which ralue, has b»™ sold. was Thesailor's dying »ijh dying gift *ss made s-ailalt!-. intrinsic »»s gratified ha 35 THE FRIEND, MAT, Calcutta, the sick man sent for me, and taking a key which he always carried around his neck, he requested me to get these papers from his chest. After taking them in his hands, he said : ' I believe I am about to die. I wish you to take these and give them to the Board of Foreign Missions ; fori have no friends or relatives in the world, and they were my friends in my earlier days.' Thinking this rather a singular request for a poor Indian to make, I gleaned from him, at intervals, the following history : That he was a native of the Sandwich Islands, was one of the first converts to Christianity, and came to the United States many years ago with one of the missionaries ; that he resided somewhere in Connecticut, in this missionary's family, for the purpose of getting an education ; that he then ran away, and had been roaming about the world as a sailor and whaler ever since. " After making these statements he swooned away, and was almost lifeless for nearly half an hour. When he rallied a little, I asked him if he had anything to say, or any request to make. He said, Yes, I have ' one. Get me my book, and read me the place I have marked.' It commences When I can read my title clear ' To mansions in the nkies.' : 1 read it to him, and he attempted to sing the same, until he was quite exhausted. After while he rallied again, when I told him I thought he had but a short time to live, and asked him if he was prepared to leave this world and appear before his Maker. He shook his head, and said, ' No, not quite yet.' After remaining quiet for some time, all at once he rallied and exclaimed: 'Joy, joy, joy!' and clapped his hands. I then asked him if he was ready to go, and he replied : Yes, lam ready now. I have seen my Saviour, and he is ready to receive me. lam so happy.' He then requested me to sing the same hymn, but not being a singer myself, I called two or three of the sailors-to sing it to him; which they did, he joining with them with all his strength, clapping his hands and shouting ' Halelujah.' After a little while he said to me, ' O, captain, I am so happy! lam ready to die; but I want to live, one day longer to enjoy my happia ' ness.' " — J. of Miss. John Bull on Yankee Soldiers.—The following tribute to our American naval and military skill, from the London Times, is, I think, worthy of perusal " England may certainly learn something from the administration of the United States. The Americans have an excellent judgment in military and naval affairs, which they handle in a spirit always liberal and generally sagacious* It was so from the very beginning of their history. They never passed through a period of infancy or routine, but took the field—when they did take it—in a fashion at once superior to the old fashioned belligerents. They have the merit of anticipating even the French of the Republic in discarding everything like precedent, and going straight by the shortest cut to the mark before them." : The True Course.—So live with men as if God saw you ; so speak to God as if men heard you. �36 THE FRIEND, MAY, 1859. THE FRIEND, MAY 14, 1850 "An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure" EVbilc cordially advocating the building support of hospitals among natives and igners, and otherwise doing all in «mr power for the sick and suffering, we still feel that, after all, aid is thereby rendered to persons who ought never to be supported by the Many, perhaps a majority of those eking hospital aid and shelter, medi(iine and nursing, have no business there. They have been brought thither by their guilty and imprudence. A cured man is it what he was before his excesses took hint the hospital. The way of the transgresr is hard, and we warn all rlnttfH from ing that way. Let any reasonable man rcfully examine the various causes which : operating t;» bring our fellow beings to isery, suffering and death, and he trill very on learn that it is as highly important to prevent men, if possible, from ruining th ■' health, as to beat them when i-it!; and dis- tiblic.

Men consume too much food a;;d too little pure aiK They take too medicine and too Utile exerci>e." We hold that multitudes die before nature designed they should depart. They ought not to die so soon. While admitting there may be much sickness that cannot he prevented, we do know there is mush that might and ought to be prevented. In order to prevent the need of a hospital, we hope our city authorities will look well to the purity of our city precincts, and a rigid enforcement of those laws for the suppression of drunkenness and licentiousness. Odd Fellows' Celebration. The members of this Association improved the occasion of celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Order in the United States, by laying the Corner Stone of a Hall in Honolulu. If our neighbors of the Commercial and Polynesian had not published # full report of the interesting exercises on that occasion, we should take pleasure in spreading before our readers a similar statement. The attendance at Fort Street Church was very large. The Key. E. Corwin preached an able and well-timed discourse. He drew the lines, or defined the metes and bounds of Odd Fellowship, Masonry, and kindred associations, showing their relationship to the church. So far as we can learn, Odd Fellows have accepted of the position assigned for the present our readers must be content with the following paragraphs from the Sci- their associations, and most certainly, on the part of the church, we are ready to accept of his remarks as defining the church's position. In behalf, then, of Christianity, we thank Bro. Corwin for that day's labor. We think the sermon well calculated to promote good fellowship among neighbors! Our readers will understand our use of the term neighbors. It is of the highest importance that among all benevolent associations there should exist a friendly feeling and kindly sympathy. No one thing will promote a better feeling than for each to keep within its proper sphere, and work within the limits defined by their constitutions. The sermon has been published in both of the papers alluded to. The exercises at the laying of the corner stone were highly appropriate. The address of Mr. Durham we thought peculiarly felicitous and happy. The singing and all the arrangements were highly appropriate, betokening good taste and a right understanding of the way such ceremonies should bo conduct! d. The Hall, when finished, will cost :i 10,000. and be an ornament to the city. We rejoice to witness the laying of a corner stone tj a benevolent institution. En long we hope to witness a similar ceremony connected with the new hospital. Such enterprises are the offspring of noble and generous inipul es, bespeaking a benevolent and Christian people. entific American: " We are having a great many inquiries for sewing machines from various parts of the country, and as we cannot conveniently reply to them all by mail, we have thought it proper to state our opinion in regard to them in this public manner. We have used Wilson's patent, manufactured by the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Company, No. 505 Broadway, and we can say in regard to it, that it is without a rival. It is simple, not easily put out of order when in proper hands, and in point of effectiveness and finish, no other machine stands ahead of it. We state this much in regard to the excellent machine, upon our own responsibility. "The company have made and sold during the last three months, 4700 machines, and are now producing and selling 100 per day. They vary in price from 850 to SlOO, nnd the highest priced ones sell best. In their business there is over 8500,000 invested, and they keep 400 men regularly employed manufacturing; machines. The system pursued is the same ns that adopted in the manufacture of arms, every piece is made to a guage, and consequently the parts of any machine may be transposed with those of another machine of the same size ; or should an accident occur, the broken part can he immediately replaced on application at the office. There is not an establishment in the country where stitching of any kind is required in which the sewing machine is not employed, and there are few private families in which it is not an acknowledged article of furniture." ■■ hIatsCome!

I'iikoi dictateil the following sketch of his life, which we translate from the Hac Hawaii. [Comm. *• I was born in the month of lkuwa (January) 1804. at Wnimea, Kattni. I conliuueil to live there until Liholiho came to Kaitni, on the 22cl of July, 18'J'J. There wis great i'eastine on the occasion of the arrival ofLiholiho and the chiefs in his company, on board the vessel called the Okikowali." The feasting took place in a house known as Puilihale." After eating, the King called to Kanmualii,—"Oti, Knuraualii, there is plenty of poi and fish at Kauai; —one thing inly is lacking—tobacco." The chief answered—"Tho tobasOO also is ready." He then culled me, saying, I'iikoi, go and do as I bid you." 1 consented, and a pipe having been lighted, w»i given to me, together with a tobacco box and a pipelighter, and I was directed to take them to Liholiho. Oh, the Heavens, here is the The cliier called out, tobacco, and a servant with it." Then it was that 1 became a pipe-lighter; that was the first, commencement of my going with Liholiho to lite. My rel»tions nnd fiienilH made a great lamentation,but some said, We have M business to Will, for he is given entirely to the King." I thin went round the island of Kauai with the King ami afterwards came to Oahu with him. At Wtlanae, I ran away in order to go with Kanmualii nt Waialua. Ho ordered me to go back, saying tii.it 1 must look to the King for my siihsistance hereafter, nor desert him on any account. I accordingly returned, and continued to live with Liholiho until he went to England, and never wanted for anything to eat, drink or wear. After the King went to England I lived with Kuhalaia, and on his appointment as governor of Kauai, 1 accompanied him thither. After the rebellion of Humehuiiie in 1834, we returned to Oahu, and on the death of Kahnlaia, in 18Jti, the late King sent for me, saying You belonged to Liholiho; why do you not come to live with DM.'" I said I have conic." The late King was considerate in regard to hia servants. Several years later, the King gave me the charge of lands on < biliu. This duty I executed both to the satisfaction of the King nnd somewhat to my own profit. Subsequently, when llaalilio wentto England, I received his duties to perform. About this time I was made a Member of the House of Nobles, nnd soon after, a Member also of tho King's l'rivy Council. I also received from the King a very Important duty—that of superintending the division of lands between the King and the chiefs at Haliimaile. When I undertook this duty, some of the chiefs said that they did not wish for me to divide the lands for them. I made reply to them that if they would not take my division, they must lose all their lands, from Hawaii to Kauai. These were strong words, but I spoke confidently, well knowing that I had ample authority from the King. Icr -<ued to unlivo pleasantly anil happily under tho btil he left us on the 16th December, 180. Under His present Majesty, Kamehameha v., whom God has graciously placed over us, I have enjoyed all my former rights of nobility, and my family and myself have enjoyed the fullest protection. May God preserve the King, and graut him a long and prosperous reign. I have written the foregoing in great weakness, for the purpose of showing my countrymen how 1 io»e to my present rank and position, under the protection of the King, from the humble station of a pipe-ligbter.

Mr. Ellis, is descriptive of a singular and delightful incident which occurred on the homeward voyage after his last visit to Madagascar. Our friend embarked in the England steamer from Mauritius on the lJ3th January, 1857. On the 21st of the same month, after the subsidence of a severe gale, the vessel fell in with a floating raft, and was the providential instrument in saving from a watery grave two individuals, one of them an American Captain and the other a Sandwich Islander ; but the sequel shall be told by Mr. Ellis •' In a few moments I heard the cry A wreck! a wreck!' and hastening to the poop, saw on the larboard bow a small flag or sijrnal of blue cloth, distinct among the tops of the waves, and about two miles off. In a few minutes more I discerned a sort of raft, with two figures, a white man and a man of color, sitting upon it, up to the waist in the sea. " The flag of the England had been hoisted —symbol of help and deliverence—to signal to the castaways that they were seen, and the ship's course was altered. Meanwhile one of the boats was lowered, and manned by five stout, willing hands, was pushed ofT towards the raft. While the oars rattled with each stroke, and the light boat seemed to spring over the waves, with our tall, stout, second officer, Mr. Peters, standing with the steeroar in the stern, every eye on board was stretched towards the same point; thesailors leaning over forecastle and forerigging; the officers and passengers straining over the bulwarks of the poop ; ladies with theirchildren all gazing with the most intense interest as our boat approached theraft. No one moved not a word was uttered even breathing seemed difficult; but when the first man, and then the second—stiff, benumbed, and swollen with the water—had been safely lifted into the boat, the pent-up feeling found utterance in the almost simultaneous exclamation, They are saved !' which was heard from stem to stern along the side of our ship. Some persons near me wept, others seemed ready to faint under emotions of sympathy and : ' : : ' joy- " Our boat was soon alongside, and, swollen, bruised and bleeding, the men were helped over the ship's side into the cabin. Not wishing to add to the pressing crowd, I remained on deck. A few moments afterwards I heard the captain call, Mr. Ellis ! here is a Sand' and speak to him.' I wich Islander. Come went into the cabin, where the two men were sitting on the deck. The white man was the oaptain of a ship which had been upset in the violent gale two days before, when every one on board, twenty-two in number, except the two justrescued, had perished. The islander, a young man, was one ot the crew; and, having made no answer to the questions addressed to him by our humane captain, I had been called down. "The man was sitting on the deck, his head bent down, and his long, black, and dripping hair hanging over his eye* and , 1859. down his face. Looking at him, I said, ' Aroha earohaino, aroha' —salutation, dear friend, affection. The man lifted up his head, swept with his hand his long, black hair to one side of his forehead, and looking earnestly at me, like one to whom consciousness was but just returning, and startled by the sound of his native language, returned my salutation. In answer ton few inquiries, he told me he wns a native of Oahu, the island on which I had at one time resided. He said he was up aloft furling sail, when the ship suddenly went over, and all in an instant were plunged into the deep; that there were other islanders on board, but they soon sank. The doctor of our ship then gave the men a little suitable refreshment, and they were wrapped in flannels and put to bed. Captain .Dundas took the raft, a very fragile affair, and brought it to England, intending to deposit it in the Crystal Palace. "The next day I went down to the berth where the Sandwich Islander was lying, and found him very much revived. After conversing- with him about the wreck, and the loss of all his shipmates, I said, 'God has very mercifully preserved you. You must remember His goodness and pray to Him.' He said, ' I did pray to Him in the night, when I was in the sea. I did pray to God in the morning, when I saw the captain ; I prayed that we might be saved. And God sent away death, and sent your ship, and we are here.' I said, 'I am glad you prayed to God. You must be thankful to God, and serve him, and love Him. You must try to praise God in your future life.' " I then repeated the first two lines of a hymn, among the first ever composed in the language of the Sandwich Islands, when I was a Missionary in that country. The lines are these :— that W. L. Green, Esq., has, with the conMajesty, undertaken the charge of the British Consulate until further advices. We understand, from those who have frequently seen Mr- Nicolas during his illness, that amongst the symptoms of his distressing malady, there never was the faintest indication of that perversion of the moral sentiments which in medical jurisprudence is considered to be one of its most certain diagnostics. On the contrary, their Majesties, the King and Queen, the other members of the Royal Family, the prosperity of these islands, the welfare of the Hawaiian people, the high judicial officers and ministers ol the King, all his personal friends of both sexes, and his physician, were the subjects on which he constantly dwelt, in the most extravagant terms of confidence, affection and generosity. From these and other favorable circumstances, it is hoped that he will recover completely before he reaches Portsmouth. By his affability, frankness and pleastng manhe had recommended himself strongly to the good will and respect of all classes and degrees in this community.—Polynesan, Mayl. sent of His Gospel, Ttiumphing.—It is true that take desponding views of Christianity.

But take the first, and you have an advance of 50,000,000 each century, of 140 each day. Akua licmolelo, Is there not something really inspiring in such *KeHeAkua no kakou.' a view ?
