New Publication.

The Pacific
Scott, D. V., Editor —Published in San Francisco, by G. W. Stevens.
Expositor—Vol.
This is a new Monthly. The July number has been received, and we shall be most
happy to place it upon our exchange list.
The design of the publication may be gathered from the following paragraphs, copied
from the Prospectus :
" The Pacific Expositor is to be devoted to
the exposition of God'sWord, and the preaching of the Gospel, according to the standards
of our Church. We wish to do by the press
for our fellow men, just what wo do for Calvary Congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to
expound, explain and preach to them the
Word of the Living God. *
* * The
.Editor and Publisher do not propose to make
money by the work. They desire only such
aid from their fellow citizens as will cover
the expenses of publication. Not one dollar
of the subscriptions will be appropriated to
the Editor's private use. All that is subscribed beyond the actual cost, will be spent
in extending the circulation of the work
among our miners, cattle-drivers, farmers,
sailors and travelers. The Expositor will be
issued every month, at three dollars per
annum."
Most cordially we welcome a fellow laborer,
who is starting in a career very similar to
that we entered upon nearly seventeen years
ago, when we invited the public to sustain
the Friend. We know something of the

his enlarged views. The power of the press
is mighty for weal or woe to the community.

Lei tiic peeks speak in trumpet tones in favor
of truth, piety, the Sabbath, and every good
cause.
Dr. Scott has already shown ability as an
expounder of the Bible. His " Wedge of
Gold" and " The Giant Judge" arc highly
creditable efforts. Some months ago a friend
in San Francisco sent us the "Giant Judge,"
and we have read it with much delight. The
design and execution of the several publications of Dr. Scott which have fallen in our
way, evidently evince reading and study, together with this admirable idea, that the
Bible shall be its own interpreter. Now, if
a publication can be made to spread out before the reading public the real meaning of
both the Old and New Testaments, its usefulness will be very great; it will foster Bible
reading in the community. Wherever the
Expositor is circulated, there will spring up a
desire to read those parts of the Scriptures
which arc dwelt upon in its pages.
In perusing Dr. Scott's publications, such
as his " Daniel," " Giant Judge," " Wedge
of Gold," &c, we have observed that in reeling off his thread of discourse, he displays
considerable skill in twisting the threads of
other writers with this own. This is not
altogether objectionable in a good expository
piece of composition. It may be necessary,
but there is this danger, when the pen moves
rapidly, the thread may kink. If newspaper
reports can be relied upon, such a kink has
occurred in his last publication, " The Bible
and Politics." The report grates upon the
car, that Dr. Scott has denounced King
James' translation of the Bible as a sectarian
book, and on that account should not be read
in the common schools of California. This
is the kink to which we allude, but we are

glad to see lhat certain writers in the Pacific,
including Dr. Anderson and a layman,
(reported to be a distinguished lawyer, Mr.
Height, of San Francisco,) have undertaken
to unwind or untwist this kink of Dr. Scott.
From our reading of their articles, we think
that success will crown their efforts ; hence
wo sin.ll !"ipe to sec no leaves of the •' Bible

Monthly Pacific Expositor. If they should
be, we fear their pcrsusal would essentially
damage the publication among all good old

sympathise with the Roman Catholics in their
views of common school 4-.
Queen's Hospital.—This institution is
now in successful operation under the efficient
management of Dr. Hillebrand. The building occupied as a temporary hospital is admirably suited to the purpose. Over one
hundred patients have received medical
advice and treatment from the dispensary,
and there arc averaging ten boarding inmates.
The usefulness of the institution is already
apparent and will become more so, as months
and years pass away.
Mr. Brewster's School.—Schools abound
in Honolulu, but more arc still needed. That
under the charge of Mr. Brewster, commenced under good auspices, and is gradually
increasing in numbers. We confidently hope
it may grow into an institution to vie with
the one at Punahou, or most certainly answer
the purpose of fitting pupils for Oahu College.
Let the teacher have a fair trial.
In a late paper, we notice that the
insurance companies and merchants of New
York, have contributed $5,000 for refitting
the Sailor's Home in that city! We hope
the merchants of Honolulu, and other friends
of our Sailor's Home, will contribute as
many hundreds to put ours in good repair,
and cover it with one or more coats of paint.

iiioV^v.«f-whfliYiieeded such a change
of habits very much. Then others besides
firemen joined them, and then public meetings were held, and the whole community
were invited to join in the movement. They
soon began to convert their numbers by hundreds, and now by thojsands.
Of course, the liquor sellers were " taken
aback" by this sudden move. One of them,
who had been the principal purveyor of liquor
to the fire company among whom the reform
originated, soon had to note a diminution of
receipts in his till, of not less than fourteen
dollars a day ; and now, I cannot doubt that
at least five hundred dollars are saved every
day to sober men, that was formerly spent in
grog shops. But these poison dealers consoled themselves to each other with the assurance that when the six months were over,
these fellows would drink more than ever before. But they were doomed to disappointment. When the time had expired, nearly
all that signed (he first pledge renewed it for
another six months, and multitudes more
joined them. So the hope of these manslayers has perished.
The Dashaways do not promise not to sell,
buy, give away or manufacture ardent spirits,
but just not to drink it. Of course, this
singleness of object enables (hem to gather in
the more of those who need reform, and
spread their power the more rapidly. The
short time for which they pledge themselves
has the same tendency.
These men arc doing good in another way.
They are trying to save drunkards who are
past being saved by the pledge. They have
been in the habit of picking up drunken men
from the streets, carrying them to their rooms,
which, I trust, as it is " my lirst appearance"
in the capacity of a temperencc lecturer, you
will indulgently receive, and overlook the
errors in style, which more or less hang
around maiden attempts at any labor.
Fellow Dashaways!—We have arrived at
last to the dignity of an " Institution," that
mythical word, which to the ears of a free
and enlightened citizen of Great Yankecdom,
is suggestive of something bearing all the
elements of success, and possessed of a vitality which nothing but our own folly can destroy.
We are 57 strong, numbering a few more,
after only one month's existence, than the
"Honolulu Rifles," besides having enrolled
in our ranks also, some of the gentler sex,
whom the cruel mandates of stem war forbid
the opposition Company for the integrity and
safeguard of the kingdom, to admit. Our
duty, soldiers of the Dashaways, is of a different nature ; it is to protect each other by
sympathy and encouragement in a war for
self-preservation against a foe which most of
us were almost willing to lay down arms to,
and acknowledge ourselves beaten. Thanks,
then, Mr. President, to the worthy Decemvirs,
the Original Ten, who shaky as they were
from the effects of the libations to the success
and continuation ofthe Ge-rateand the Gellorious Fourth of July '69, (long may she
wave,) had nerve enough left after such sacrifices, to sign the application to your worthy
self, who wished to lie surrounded by that
classical numlier of supporters, before throwing the bass drum overboard, and taking the
lead of the Forlorn Hope. I sincerely hope,
Mr. President, Mr. Vice President and Secretary, that the " Sacred Screed" has been
carefully preserved, and laid away 41 in lavender" in the archives of the Order. I shall
not, this evening, enter into a statistical account of the quantity of Rum, Wine, Brandy,
Gin, Okolehao, Eau dc Cologne, Oregon
Cider, or Painkiller, drank on these Islands,
in the United States, in Europe or the rest
of the world. As my daily occupation, being
that of a professional figurer, I know that figures sometimes can be made, if they are hard
enough driven into a corner, to do as young
women are said to do—fib a little, or as a
drunken statistician once audibly remarked
to a friend as he was reeling home : " Hie,
Hie, I say, Bill! they say figures won't lie,
but here's a figger, that can't stand anyhow,"
and suiting the action to the word, dropped.
The Custom House returns made up by the
Collector General of Customs, with greatcare
and official skill, will sufficiently show the
consumption of foreign liquors which pay
duty—and it is certainly not a duty of mine
to speak of that sold which does not pay into
the coffers of Government, its specific tax. It
is, however, a fair subject of inquiry, on the
part of the drinking man, to know what quantity of the Real Article he drinks, and what
of spurious, when he throws down his quarter for his.fid. He would feel himself entitled to do it at his butchers, his bakers, or
his candlestick makers," why not at his liquor
merchants ? But the truth is, lam afraid he
swallows his dram without scruples, nnd
leaves it to the startling developments of those
curious in the exploration of hidden things,
to show up the compounds.

The advantages derived from following the
dictates of our Pledge are apparent to the
most determined of our railcrs. The vender

get wrongly accused, for we all know that a

It is a well-settled axiom,—Trust your
business to any one but a drunkard. His
honesty may be unimpeachable, but in unguarded moments he may betray the clue to
a master scheme, upon the successful carrying out of which the financial prosperity of a
future life may depend. The I love thee,

In conclusion, Mr. President, 1 have only
to say, I trust our institution will prosper. I

term on the roll, but having already broken
two or three, or three or four temperance
pledges, and they say a nameless place is

no more than I have made to knock off"
drinking, I thought I would try it until after
my birth-day, which happened to be four
months from the date of signing. If the

meantime, and the Prince of Wales ascend

you know the flesh is weak. One month of
trial has been of such benefit to me, I may be
prevailed upon, Mr. President, "as I feel so
nicely, to do it again," and I sincerely trust
that the whole of the members can reiterate
the same remark.
We must remember that it is the portion
of humanity to err, 'tis an attribute of divinity to forgive—and let us look upon the
brother that has strayed with ft feeling nearer
akin to sorrow and pity, than scorn and contempt. None of us stand so firm but we may
perchance fall.
To the outsiders I would say, in a different
tone from that of a political or trade opponent, "If you are not of us, you can't help
being with us," lor what true man of you is
there that can look at the majority of the
names on that Pledge of temporal self-abstinence from drink, and wish to see one re-
moved.
The skillful mechanic and theaged clerk—
the youth just grappling with life'sduties and
the venerable grand parents about leaving
them—all, by their sign-manual, bear witness
to what they believe to be the integrity and
worthiness of our cause. If you cannot help
us, seek not to crush us. Ridicule is feared
by many sensitive minds more than the most
outrageous abuse. And if, itt some unguarded moment, relying upon your strength,
you may be tempted to pass over the narrow
limit which, in drinking, divides moderation
from excess, you may meet the first cheering
words from a member of our order, to win
you back your lost self-respect.
To the Lady Members of theOrdcrl would
remark, that although it did not at first enter
the minds of the formers of the Society that
it would be encouraged by their personal example, yet had they but thought a moment,
they would have known that the sex whom
the disciple has praised as being the last at
the cross and the first at the sepulcher, could
not be absent from a society formed for the
practice of the greatest and holiest of the
Christian virtues, " Self-denial."
The Dashaway
must become
the Teetotaller.
The following truthful remarks of Charles
Lamb, beautifully expressed, were quoted by
Mr. Ingols in his Address before the Dashaways. Lamb, one of the most charming essayists in the English language, the 'Gentle Elia,'
fond of puns and punch, and a good deal addicted to both, thus writes, and you will take
notice he was much in want of a Dashaway
alongside him :
" Yea, but (methinks I hear somebody object) if sobriety be that fine thing you would
have us to understand, if the comforts of a
cool brain are to be preferred to that state of
heated excitement which you describe and
deplore, what hinders in your own instance
that you do not return to those habits from
which you would induce others never to
swerve ? If the blessing be worth preserving,
is it not worth recovering ? Recovering !
Oh, if a wish could transport me back to
those days of youth, when a draught ftom
the next clear spring could slake my heats,
which summer suns and youthful exercise
had power to stir up in the blood, how glad
,
would I return to thee, pure element, the
drink of children, and of child-like holy hermit. In my dreams, I can sometimes fancy
thy cool refreshment purling over my burning
tongue. But my muring stomach rejects it.
That which refreshes innocence only makes
me sick and faint.
But is there no middle way between total
abstinence and tho excess which kills you ?
For your sake, reader, and that you may
never attain to my experience, with pain I
must utter the dreadful truth that there is
none, none that I can find. In my stage of
habit (I speak not of habits less confirmed—
for some of them, I believe the vice to be most
prudential—) in the stage which I have
reached, to stop short of that measure, which
is sufficient to draw on torpor and sleep, the
benumbing apoplectic sleep of the drunkard,
is to have taken none at all. The pain of
the self-denial is all one. And what that is,
I had rather the reader should believe on my
credit than know from his own trial. He
will come to know it whenevtt he shall arrive at that state in which, paradoxical as it
may appear, Reason sliatl only visit him
through Intoxication ; for it is a fearful truth,
that the intellectual faculties, by repented
acts of intemperance, may be driven from
their orderly sphere of action, theirclear daylight ministeries, until they shall be brought
at last to depend, for the faint manifestations
of their departing energies, upon the returning periods of the fatal madness, to which
they owe their devastation. The drinking
man is never less himself than during his
sober intervals."

adventure, it is, under Providence, the great
agent of civilization ; and I feel it my duty
to add that everywhere in Asia and Africa,
among the Caffrcs in Natal, on the continent
of India, among the forests of Ceylon, and
over the vast expanse of China, the testimony
to the zeal and success of our countrymen as
missionaries of truth is earnest and concurrent. I heard it everywhere and from high
authority. Their praises greeted me when,
after the dreariness of a long voyage, I put my
foot ashore at the Cape of Good Hope, and
when, nearly two years afterwards, I bade
farewell to Eastern lands, my last delightful
duty was to visit and for myself see the
largest missionary school in Egypt, kept and
admirably administered by an American—a
Phildelphia woman (Miss Dale) —at Alexandria."
Would it not do well to have the Day of
our American Thanksgiving so arranged that
all our missionaries, in every part of tho
world, should be able to celebrate it as an
American Festival ? The concert of prayer
is now observed in many churches all the
iworld over. The Concert of Thanksgiving
would be more impressive, because more universal. Such a festival, acknowledging the
God of the Bible as the Supreme Ruler of
the destinies of our Great Republic, and setting apart the day as one of happy rejoicing
and thankfulness for our individual and national blessings, would be an impressive spectacle to the people of every land and language. Let the last Thursday in November
be agreed upon as the Day of American
Thanksgiving in all the States of our Union,

THE FRIEND, SEP T E■
THE FRIEND.
SEPTEMBER 3, 1859
The Case of Plumer.
During the last few months the papers of
New England have been discussing the case
of Plumer, tried for the murder of the Captain of the whale ship Junior off New Holland. The trial was long and supposed to
be satisfactory, so far as the public and justice were concerned. For some reason, not
fully made public, the most extraordinarily
strenuous exertions were made for his benefit.
A rumor was reported that he went under an
assumed name, and was really connected
with some of the first families of Boston. This statement has been denied. The
jury brought in however a verdict of guilty,
and he was sentenced to be hung. The day
of his execution was appointed. At this
stage of proceedings, Dr. C. F. Winslow,
formerly of Lahaina, became interested in
Planner's behalf. He has produced a remarkable change in public sentiment. Tcnol the
jury have been induced to sign a petition for
Plumer's pardon, while some twenty thousand and more have also petitioned the President of the United States in Plumer's favor.
The papers do not publish the evidence upon
which the community has been induced to
believe that Plumer was innocent of the
murder with which he was charged. The
following we copy from the Massachusetts
Spy, published at Worcester
The announcement of the commutation
of "Plumer's sentence, from death to imprisonment for life, was received in the community
with general satisfaction. When the announcement was made to Plumer, who was
at the time conferring with Dr. C. F. Winslow, relative to his affairs after his death, his
eyes filled with tears of joy as he thanked his
friend for bringing him such tidings, and for
the exertions he and others had made in his
behalf. The report was confirmed by the
arrival of a special messenger from the Attorney General's office at Washington, with
the announcement that the President had
been induced by the petitions and the facts
which had been presented to him to commute
the sentence to imprisonment for life ! Mr.
John A. Andrew, who visited Washington
to present the petitions and the facts, and
Dr. C. F. Winslow, who has taken a deep
interest in the matter from its commencement, deserve credit for the success which
has rewarded their efforts. Plumer has issued a card to the public, expressing his
thanks to all the friends and editors of public journals who have been active in his behalf—to the signers of petitions in his favor—
to many friends at Washington, to the members of the Cabinet, and especially to the
President of the United States, and assuring
them that his future conduct will show that
interest has not been felt or mercy shown to
a bad or unworthy man.

An 010 Roman Coin.—Did Julius Cneser
ever land upon the Sandwich Islands ? If he
did not, and no old Roman ever visited our
shores, how could an old Roman coin have
been brought hither ? This is the question.
A gentleman has handed over to us a copper
Roman coin, and no mistake, saying it was
picked up in a by-street of Honolulu ! How
shall its presence be accounted for? When
the Austrians fled from Milan they left the
treasure-chest behind, and when Lord Cornwallis was captured at Yorktown, the 41 English sovereigns" fell into the hands of Washington ; but how came an old Roman copper
coin in Honolulu ? Estimating its value according to the fabulous prices paid recently in
London for old coin, its value must be invaluable:
" A great sale of old coins, by auction, has
recently taken place in London, and enormous prices were obtained. Three AngloSaxon pennies of different types were sold in
one lot for $150! Pennies of Alfred's time
sold for from $50 to $S0 each, and one halfpenny of great rarity brought more than a
hundred dollars! A good penny of Henry
the Third, of the highest rarity, sold for upwards of $600. Among the coins s(ruck for
America may be mentioned the Lord Baltimore penny, said to be unique, $362; a New
England half-penny, $75; the fifty shilling
piece of Oliver Cromwell, $225; good five
Killing pieces of Charles 11., $146."
We would acknowledge repeated favors she is to be employed;) and, if so, whether or not the
non-performance of this condition is attended by
from J. W. Sullivan's newspaper depot in San consequences
similar to those which would attend the
Francisco. We receive a package by almost non-performanco of the implied condition that the
ship shall be seaworthy, assuming such last-mentionevery arrival. Many thanks.

A Hawaiian Legend.—There are a few of the old
Hawaiian bards yet left among us, who possess tho
power to enchain an audience for hours together, by
their songs and legends of the olden time. The more
improbable the story, the more interesting it is to the
listeners. We were much amused with a tale of this
kind which was related by an old native a few weeks
since, during a short voyage in an island schooner.
The story teller said that many years ago, before the
accession of the Kamchamohas, the islands of Kauai,
Niihau and Nihoa, were one, under the name of
Niihau; and Oahu and Molokai were also united
under tho name of the former island—the distance
between the two being, at that time, several days
sail. On one eventful day, however, two fishermen
were busily engaged in their avocation, the one on
the shore of VVaianac, on the western extremity of
Oahu, and the other on the rocks of Koloa, in Niihau
—now Kauai. Unfortunately, there was a strong
current. The hooks were carried out to sea and be|
came entangled together in the middle of the channel;
and when the fishermen endeavored to haul in their
lines, the two islands, unable to withstand the strain,
parted from their moorings. Kauai broke off, first
from Nihoa, and afterwards from Niihau, Oahu sepaj
rated from Molokai, and the two main bodies approached each other. At length the lines broke, and
the islands came to a stand still in their present positions. Some days elapsed before the kings of the two
islands discovered the cause of these great changes.
At length, being informed of the facts, they ordered
the two fishermen to swim out into the channel and
dive down after the hooks. Their commands were
fulfilled. The hooks were recovered. And wonder}
ful to relate there were found upon each hook, specimens of every kind of fish in the sea—from the whole
down to the shrimp.—P. C. Adv.

SKKTCII.
One beautiful Sunday forenoon, I was
walking the quarter-deck of a line thip running down the north-east trades. William
Thornton, an old weather beaten sailor, was
at the wheel, and I could hear him occasionally humming theair of "Black-eyed Susan,"
when my back was towards him. He was
an excellent helmsman, and kept the ship to
her course true as the needle to the pole.
Although it is still, as it was then, contrary
to rule to enter into conversation with the
man at tho wheel, yet observing William

41
Well, sir, it is just forty years this day
since I strolled into one of the big churches
in Broadway, and was invited to a seat in a
grand pew by an elderly gentleman. There
were two young ladies with him. One of
them, the moment our eyes met, said, as
plainly as eyes could speak, ' I'm glad to see
you again.' I was sure I had seen her lie-

for the soul of me I could not tell where. I
could hardly take my eyes oil'her, she looked
so good. When the services commenced she
put a prayer-book in my hand and pointed to
the ' lesson for the day,' but 1 looked more at
her than I did at the lesson. I was young
then, sir, and good-looking, too, and had as
much self-conceit as most young men ; but
the more I looked at that sweet girl the less
I thought of myself. When the services were
over I followed her to the door of the carriage, and could not help saying, as the gentleman handed her in, God bless you, my
sweet angel,' nnd, to my surprise, instead of
being oilended, she replied, ' Thank you, sir,
and may He bless you too.' The gei.tleman
raised his hat to me and smiled. 'Good-bye,
Jack,' he said, ' good luck to you.' It was
the voice of l sailor; he was, no doubt, a retired sea-captain. Both the ladies, though I
had neglected one entirely, bowed to me out
of the carriage window. In a moment they
were gone, and I never saw them from that
day to this, yet from that day to this I have
truly loved that sweet girl."
44 Did
you ever try to lind-who she was I"
I inquired.
44 No, sir, what was the use ?
I felt myself a poor, ignorant sailor, hardly able to
write my own name, and 1 was not silly
enough to think that such a lovely girl would
care anything about me. Thinking about
her took all the self-conceit out of me."
" But you said you thought you had seen

It was only in a dream, sir. 1 never saw
her before. Now, as I'm growing old, 1 have
been thinking seriously about trying to be
good, that I may meet her in heaven. Every
Sunday for forty years, has the scene in that
church been before me, and every time I
think upon my sweet girl, she looks more
lovely than before. I could never think of
marrying, with her imago ever present in my
mind. Do you think, sir, it is possible for an
old sinner like me to be good enough to go
to heaven ?"

dear angel go to heaven, and tried to be good.
I worked along shore with riggers and stevedores, and had over two thousand dollars,
that I saved, so I got along very comfortably.
I joined the church, and thought I had got
religion, when a rascally fellow cheated me
out of lifty dollars. I was so mad, that I
gave the fellow an awful hiding, and before
he could set the law-dogs on me, I was at sea
again. I think now that I did very wrong,
but I'm so hard-hearted that I can't, in my
soul, forgive the fellow, even to this day.
" My sweet angel tells me in my dreams
that I must forgive him, and that if I wish to
join her, I must be good."
He said much more, but the above affords
a glance at his inner life, and shows the
purity of his soul. It must not be thought
that he was a whining old fool; on the contrary, he was a man of dauntless courage,
bold even to recklessness, and quick to resent
an insult. No men are thrown more upon
their natural resources for mental food than
seamen. For weeks, and even months, sky
and water are their only companions ; and
on long voyages, when they have watch and
watch, their labor is very light. It is then
their minds dwell upon the pleasant scenes of
the past, and make the dross of earth appear
divine. Bill Thornton's case is not singular.
Almost every sailor has some beauteouslovedream, and hence the reason why so few
of them marry.

A Wandering Printer.—Karl Ungling,
journeyman printer, died at Detroit a few
days ago, after wandering over a lame portion of the world. He was banished from
Baden, ia Germany, for participating in the
revolution of IS4B. He reached the United
States just in time to volunteer in the Mexican war, and was wounded and disfigured for
life at the battle of Buena Vista. After the
war he traveled from Maine to Louisiana, and
to the frontiers of civilization, as a journeyman printer; commenced the first German
paper ever published in San Francisco, subsequently joined a theatrical company in
Cincinnati, and was everywhere known as a
scholar, poet, musician, and wit. He never
remained long enough in one place to call it
his home, but wherever lie went he left
friends who admired his extraordinary talents and his characteristic vagaries. He
could spin a yarn, write a poem, make a
speech, sing a song, bring a melody from a
guitar, or tip a glass of lagar beer with uneijualed spirit and cosmopolitan elegance.

The Abbot and the Pope.—At the conof St. Laurent, about a mile out of
Rome, there is a privileged altar, that is to
say, every mass said at this altar has the
privilege of drawing one soul completely out
of purgatory. It consequently enjoys a great
reputation, and is much sought after by the
faithful. One day the abbot found his convent 6,000 in arrear, that is, he had received
payment for 0,000 masses at a crown each.

�THE FRIEND,
more than had been said. He repaired to
Gregory XVI., and begged him since he was
omnipotent,to grant that a single man should
draw the whole 6,000 souls out of purgatory.
The pope considered a while, then wrote a
rescript to the desired effect. The abbot embraced the feet of the holy father, expressed
his gratitude, and was about to retire, when
Gregory called him back, saying, " A mass
of 6,000 crowns; such a mass is lit for a
pope; I will say it myself;" nnd in verity
the following morning he repaired to the convert of St. Laurent, performed the mass, and
the abbot had to hand him over the (5,000
piastres, equal to about one thousand two
hundred pounds.
