As we glance our eye backward, we see that many have fallen on our right hand and on our left. Some have been removed by accident, others by their own guilty excesses, and others by the natural course of Divine Providence. With a cheerful heart and hopeful spirit, we look forward to the future. The thoughts of our heart and breathings of our spirit towards our readers and fellow pilgrims upon life's journey are fully expressed in the following lines, copied from a late New York Observer : COURAGE, BROTHER. Courage, brother, do not stumble, Though thy path be dark as night; There's the star to guide the humble : Trust in God, and do the right. Let theroad be long and dreary, And its ending out of sight,— Foot it bravely, strong or weary, Trust in God, and do the right. Trust no forms or guilty passion,— Fiends can look like angels bright; Trust no custom, school, or fashion, Trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate thee, some will love thee, Some will flatter, some will slight. Turn from man, and look above thee: •Trust in God, and do the right. Simple rule, and safest guiding,— Inward peace, and inward light,— Star upon our path abiding,— Trust in God and do the right. — spoken of as among the things that were, and 1862 opens with the " Hoku Loa," or "Morning Star," a Protestant Religious Monthly, and a similar monthly issued from the Catholic Mission. Besides these, two rather ambitious weeklies are in the field, viz : * Ka Hoku oka Pakipika," or " Star of the Pacific," and "Ka Nupepa Kuokoa," or The Independent." The former is is" trom the " Polynesian," office, and the sued latter is published by Mr. H. M. Whitney, who seems determined that the Hawaiians shall have a weekly every way worthy of being called a " Newspaper." The number for January Ist, is printed upon excellent paper, and executed in a style to reflect the highest credit upon the employees of the Advertiser Office." We sincerely con"gratulate the Hawaiians upon the rare treat which this paper will afford them each week during the ensuing year. Fast Riding and Fast Driving.—The time has come, when the severest penalties of the law should bo visited upon the Jehus who dash through our narrow and frequented streets, utterly regardless of the lives of the people. Almost daily some child or woman is run over. In the shipping season, if a reckless sailor, by dint of spurs and whip, urges his horse into a gallop, he is hurried off to the Police Station House, while some of our citizens drive at a most furious rate through our streets, and the police stand off at a most respectful distance, or are out of sight.

The Government of the United States makes no provision for the relief and support of its citizens when sick and distressed, unless they are attached to some American vessel, or can exhibit an. honorable discharge. Seamen are, in this respect, a highly favored and highly privileged class of American citizens. Not only does the flng protect and relieve those sailing under it, if they are free born, or naturalized citizens, but if they have merely enlisted on board an American vessel, in a foreign land, although they may never have stepped upon American soil, unless the deck of an American vessel, may be regarded as American soil. This is right; this is as it should be; otherwise great injustice would be done to seamen of foreign countries, who/ire engaged in the mercantile marine and whaling service of the United States. For example, suppose a whaleship takes a Feejeean, or Chinaman, or Tahitisn, or Chilean, from his home—-the not that man sickens or is at Hospital U. S. man be taken into the Honolulu, if the ship visits this port ? Any other interpretation of our laws would be contrary to their spirit and in violation of the paternal policy of the D. S. Government towards those sailing under its flag. We desire to call the attention of our seafaring readers to the foregoing facts. They are taken care of and provided for, while Americans who are not sailors are allowed to shirk for themselves. We have met many of our fellow citizens, who have felt their lot was rather hard that they could not receive relief and protection from the U. S. Consul �THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1862. 2 while seamen were thus favored. Such, however, are our laws. In return for this protection and guardianship, seamen on board vessels of war, merchant shipsand coasting vessels, pay into the Treasury of the United States twenty cents per month. The only tax upon whalemen is the sum of $36, or three months extrawages, to be paid by the ship when the seaman is discharged before his term of service expires. Unless the seamun goes to the Hospital, two-thirds of the three months' wages, or $324, are refunded to him, (and not to the ship,) if he re-ships for a home-port. In our columns will be found the names of a large number of persons, who have forfeited the " $24," because they did not return to the United States. We were furnished this list by Col. Parker, the late U. S. Consul. If this money should never be called for, it should, of course, fall into the Treasury of the United Slates. The following item from a late Washington paper, shows that one U. S. Consul has turned robber, and thief: Mr. Parsons, the successor to Consul Scott at Rio Janeiro, writes that be found the consulate robbed of everything of value. Scott hod even robbed the sailors' relief fund." " There have been rumors of similar transactions, connected with the Honolulu consulate, but we hope a new order of proceedings has been initiated. The Government of the United States is exceedingly liberal in its provisions for the relief of seamen, it is then highly culpable in any officer who perverts its legitimate funds. It is made the solemn duty of U. S. Consuls and Consular Agents to .look after American seamen. We quote the following, from A Manual for Consuls," " published under the authority of the U. S. Government: " One essential object of the Consular appointment is .the protection of American Mariners—s class of our fellow citizens whose habits of life require a kind guardianship of their persons and interests in foreign countries, but at the same time a striot vigilance over their conduct. The law makes it the duty of American Consular oflioera to provide, at the public expense, for all mariners and seamen of the United States merchant marine, who may be found destitute within their respective districts. It is no bar to their relief that they have been left abandoned by the wreck of their vessel, or otherwise, on a foreign shore. They are still ' Mariners and Seamen of the United States,' and the circumstances of their destitution, entitles them to air the benefits and protection provided by the fourth section of the act of February 28, 1808. They are within toe words of the act, and they are within all the reasons of humanity and policy whioh actuated its provisions." These instructions exhibit the policy of the government towards seamen sailing under *' the Stars and Stripes." It is highly gratifying .that when the government calls for seamen to lend their aid for the support and maintenance of the government, they are prompt and patriotic, ready apd willing. More than 1900. whalemen have shipped from New fled ford,and,are now in the blockaiding fleet off the Southern coast. Scores of officers turned traitors but common sen* men, to a man, stood by the United States flag on board vessels of the Navy. When one noble fellow was ordered to haul down the flag by Commodore Armstrong, at the Pensacola Navy Yard, he refused, saying that he would tw.il it up, but never haul it down. If the flag protects the sailor, it is cheering to know that the sailor is ready to stand up and protect the flag, when rebels would haul it down, and traitors would trample it in the dust. April Ist, 1862. By provisions of the act an annual tax is laid on incomes derived from all sources other than that subject to direct tax, as follows: On yearly incomes of residents of over eight hundred dollars 8 per cent. On yearly incomes of non-residents of over eight hundred dollars 6 per cent. Tax on Carriages.—The tax on carriages resting on springs and not used exclusively for the transportation of merchandise, together with harness used therewith, is in proportion with value, as follows : Not exceeding $60 Rendezvous for Whalers.—The Mercantile Ga- If above 9 60 and not exceeding $ 100 M «' 8 200 $ 100 zette baa reliable information that the fleet of whalers in the northern seas—forty-six sail—will make this •' 9 200 9 400 «• 9 400 $ 600 port their rendezvous the coming season.—S.

In doing so, the city authorities should bear in mind that they nre in duty bound to make suitable provision for sick and disabled seamen, discharged from whaleships. As the matter stands, at present, a sick whaleman is turned into the streets, if he is discharged in San Francisco, or sent to the poor house. Only a few days since, a whaleman was discharged sick at San Francisco. He applied to the Marine Hospital, but was told he could not be admitted, because whalemen did not pay the 20 cents a month, the same as coasters and merchant seamen in the foreign trade. He was advised to come to Honolulu, but on his arrival here, the hospital in Honolulu was closed to him, because he came as a citizen passenger, and not as a sailor ! This was right, for as we have elsewhere shown, U. S. Hospitals in foreign lands, are provided and retained for seamen, not for citizens of United States in general. a paper published in New " ThehasCentury," York, the following very just remarks in regard to " 81000. . $ 1 34 88 810 820 880 840 860 £ Tax on Watches.—The tax on every watch kept for use is as follows : $1 00 60 Gold watches Silver watohee Tax on Distilled Spirits.—A tax is also laid on distilled spirits, to be paid by the manufacturer or distiller thereof: On each gallon first proof, or leas, 60 cents. On each gallon of greater strength than first proof, in proportion to the above. Tax on Fermented Liquors.—Beer, ale, porter, and other similar fermented liquors, the duty to be paid by the brewer thereof, is taxed as follows : in eaoh gallon 2 cents. ~ >n each barrel, containing no more than thirty gallons 60 cents. King George III, when walking out one morning, met a lad at the stable door, and asked him, " Well, boy, what do you do ? what do they pay you?" " I help in the stable," replied the lad; but I have nothing except victuals and clothes." "Be content," replied the king, I have no more." All that the richest possess beyond food, raiment, and habitation, they have but the keeping, for the disposing, not the present enjoyment of, A ploughboy who thinks and feels correctly, has enough to make him contented ; nnd if a king have a discontented spirit, he find some plea for indulging it. U. 8. Hospital Mohky.—Every seaman, of what- Will In his majesty's prayer-book, at that part, ever grade or capacity, in the commercial marine of the United States, pays into its treasury, as his trustee, the sum of twenty cents per month for hospital money," and the Federal Government disburses this ever-accruing " trust-fund" in providing hospitals, medicines, medical stores and physicians for the treatment and cure of sick and disabled seamen—bat it is the money of the sailor which foots the bill in every instance. The hardy sailor, while combatting the storms and pestilence of every sea on the globe, is ever contributing to this fund—this self-providing hospital fund, of which the Government is but the custodian, and the President the dispenser. " War Tax. The people of the United States will no longer be able to boast of their freedom from taxes for the support of the General Government. Hitherto the revenue from the tariff and sale of lands, has paid all the expenses ofthe Government. Sometimes there has been a surplus in the Treasury. Those days arc gone, as many be learned from the following statement: The Income Tax.—We subjoin a copy of the income taxes and duties imposed by the last Congress. The act comes into effect on " where the worshippers implore the Almighty bless and preserve Thy servant George, our most gracious king"and governor," these words appear to have been struck out, and the three following written with his own hand, "An untoorthy sinner." Emigration to the Pacific.—The civil war is giving a most remarkable and unexpected stimulus to the overland emigration to California and Oregon. The plains are swarming with caravans of emigrants from Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky, all destined for the Pacific coast. Should the war last for a couple of years it would doubtless lead to very important transfers of population. The actual seat of war, as well as all the border states likely to be affected by the conflict, would suffer severely in the emigration ofits quiet and industrious families, who would remove to more peaceful settlements in the West and North. The Pacific coast will undoubtedly gain largely, as its industry is not affected, and it offers better inducements to the thrifty and enterprising than any other section of the country. to �LIST OF SEAMEN Discharged at this Consulate previous to January 1,1860, .1 MAHXS Or ■""""• SUMS! ~ I' , .

Ocean Currents.—A. W. Caldwell, Esq., U. S. Consul at this port, bonded us a letter from Dr. K. W. Wood, of Kauai, which contains the following interesting memorandum: Ship White Swallow, Copt. Kltery, bound from Ban Fran- " cisco to Hongkong. This bottle was thrown overboard on the 21st July, 1801,In Utltude 21 ° 30 North, Longitude ISI 66 West, by passenger Chas. n. Rocxwsll. of New York." "Whoever may find this bottle, will please send thispaper to the Nary Bureau at Washington, D. C. with a memorandum stating when and where tt was picked up. Or will give It to some Captain or Consul, who will forwardIt as above directed, in order to discover the driftof the ocean currents." Dr. Wood states that it was picked up on the ° " island of Niihau about the 23d August, ana adds the following: Lat. of Niihau is 21 60 North. 160° 16 West. Long. Making a drift nearly due west of 460 miles in about 88 days. Ily relerring to our memoranda, we And that the W. S. arrived on the 23d July, and the bottle was thrown overboard two days before her arrival. If the memorandum isoorreot, and the bottle actually drifted 460 miles in 88 days, it shows the existence of a very powerful current about the islands —about 14 miles per diem.—Adv. " " ° Severe Earthquake.—A heavy earthquake oc. ourred on Thursday Deo. 6, at 11 minutes before 12 M. | Two distinct shocks were felt, and so severe were they, that every body experienced them, whether walking, standing or silting. In several instances it threw persons quite from their balance ; and more probably experienced sensations of astonishment or fright Nearly every house was shaken. In some coses so strongly as to cause the inmates to leave the building. At Punahou College, the plaster of the oeiling was shaken down, and tbe pupils ran out of doors. The same scene, so far as the stampede was concerned, occurred at the courthouse, where a suit was in progress in Chambers. The quake was accompanied by a noise resembling that of a dray driven over the roof, or tbe rolling of casks over bead. The shock was felt at Lahaina, and was so severe, that ink was spilled out of an inkstand on a table. We cannot learn that it was noticed at Ifilo or any where on Hawaii. —It is very seldom that earthquakes have been felt on this island, though they are of frequent occurrence on Hawaii. The cause is probably that Onhu is more remote from the seat of activity of Twice, however, the voloanio fires beneath as. during the last twenty years, this island has been visited by tidal waves, which are probably attributable to volcanic disturbance.—Adv. Another Earthquake.—On Sunday evening Deo. 22, at about 21 minutes past seven o'clock, another severe shock was felt all over this island (Oahu.) It consisted of ten or twelve very regular vibrations from East to West, and "was felt equally plain by those sitting or walking. It was aooompanied by a noise more distant than that which accompanied the shook of tbe 6th. Some persons felt an eleetrio sensation in the knees. In tbe harbor the effect of tbe quake was most noticeable. Some persons standing at the harbor-master's office, observed the fishes suddenly flying on the surface toward Ike tea. While the water disturbed by the fish, appearod like a sheet of Tbe schoonors lying by the wharves phosphorus. were also set to rocking. These earthquakes are something new to Honolulu, and the query suggested by our Maui correspondent below is not inappropriate—" Are we going under? "—Adv. Still Another Earthquake.—A correspondent writing from Ulupolakua, E. Maui, says: "There was a heavy shock of an earthquake here on Sunday morning Dee. 16,at 20 minutes before 6 o'clock. It awoke all hands.

This war is assuming an auspicious shape. It was not to hare been reasonably expected that the people of the loyal States, most of whom were unaccustomed to the use of arms, and who were taken by surprise, could on the instant rise and crush out a rebellion which had long been premeditated and carefully prepared by men who, l»)wjM| criminal, had, it must be confess* ed, expernßand ability. Jeff. Davis and his associates in* treason had, through a serious of years, occupied high positions under the Government and held actual control of public affairs. During all that time their power and influence were wielded to prepare the Southern States for therebellion. The people of the South were encouragod to exercise themselves in military discipline, and arms and munitions of war were furnished them in abundance from the nationul arsenals. Thus when the time arrived for the hoisting of the standard of revolution, Davis, Beauregard and the other leaders of the revolt found themselves at the head of armies already disciplined and furnished with every necessary of war. We say, the loyal States were taken by surprise; they had so long listened to thegasconade of politicians that they regarded the threats of the Secessionists with incredulous ears; and it was.only when they heard the thunderof the guns from Fort Sumpter they realised the actual situation of the country. The spectacle which followed was grand to an extreme, and every way worthy a great and free people. The merchant left his ledger, the farmer his plough, the mechanic bis tools, the lawyer his briefs, and even the minister his pulpit, to commence an education in a new profession—to learn the art of war. It is no exaggeration to say that fivesixths of the volunteers scarcely knew the difference between a minierifle and a flint lock musket, so far as such knowledge might be useful on the field. But, brought up in habits of industry, trained to adapt themselves to contingent circumstances, and gifted with quick intellectual powers of discernment which men accustomed to business pursuits only can acquire, the people of the great North, East and West proved themselves equal to the emergoncy. They were as rapid to learn the duties of a soldier, as they had been slow to believe in the existence of a rebellion. Still, after they acquired the theory, they had still to confront the enemy and acquire the It was natural, practice of theirnew profession. under the circumstances, that a few blunders should occur, and we had the Bull Run, Springfield, Lexington and other disasters to lament. But again the people of the loyal States triumphed, and there is now at the disposition of the government as vigorously disciplined and well appointed an army as has been assembled any time within the century. Every day its strength and efficiency are being increased. Unworthy and incompetent officers are driven from command and soldiers of experience commissioned in theirstood. Three months ago, it wits the boast of the rebels that their forces had been trained from boyhood up to the use of arms, and that it was folly to suppose that tradesmen and "greasy mechanics" could successfully meet them in hattie ; but we imagine they at length are beginning to discover the great truth that labor elevates and strengthens manhood. As we before said, the war is assuming an auspicious shape. The rebels have exhuustod thoir resources ; thoy can bring no more soldiers Into the field. On the other hand, the U. S. Government has not developed a tithe of its strength, and yet our armies largely outnumber those of the enemy. And while we hear of dissensions among the leaders at the South, the feeling of cordiality between President Lincoln and our Generals grows stronger every hour. In short, the loyal States have risen superior to all adverse ciroumstances, and are gaining strength every hour, while the rebel government is in the last extremity for men and means to save it from per dition.—S.

Selected. 1 — From the Sailors' Magazine. I A Night Among the Icebergs. morning of Sunday, April 18th, IS4I, Walkin the deck, before breakfast, I fancied I detected the chill of ice in the atmosphere. The captain, who met me there, smiled at the apprehension. Our noble steamer, the, Greaf Western, vigorously pursued her course, and the deep sea slightly agitated, and strongly colored, was intensely beautiful. We had divine worship in the saloon, and the dead lights which had been in for a week were removed. The officers, passengers, and all the sailors who could be spared, came in their clean bright costume, to hear an impressive sermon from the Rev. Dr. Wayland, President of Brown University, on the text " Now, we see through a glass darkly, but then, face to face." After the interesting service, and a cheerful supper, we came on deck, to enjoy a glorious sunset. While we were gazing with delight, a huge, black mass loomed up, just in the track of molten gold left by the departing orb. Turning to me, the captain said, "I fear you were but too true a prophet. There is an enormous iceberg." It presented an irregular outline, towering up into crags and pinnacles, and resembling the hulks of several men-of-war lashed together. The captain, after viewing it with his glass, pronounced it three-quarters of a mile in length, and its more prominent points more than one hundred feet high; therefore its entire altinot be less than four hundred feetfas only one-third of one of these arctic mountains rises above the surface. Three le serene, but cold for the season. n ■ n ir n ■ a JJANUARY, 1862. A others of smaller dimensions slowly appeared in its wake, like a fleet following their admiral, and in their fearful companionship we prepared to pass the night. We were then in North Latitude 43 ° , and in Longitude 48° 90. We literally shivered with cold from the approach of this embassy from the frigid zone; the thermometer suddenly sank below the.freezing point, leaving the temperature of the atmosphere 28 °, and that of the water 25 ° On this appalling scene, the stars looked down with their calm, pure eyes. But all at once, a magnificent aurora borealis burst forth, and went streaming up the concave. While over our heads flashed and dazzled this arch of scintillating flame, the phosphorescence of our watery path became intensely brilliant. We seemed to be at the same time in a realm of fire and of frost, our fleshly natures surrounded with contradictions, the elements themselves bewildered and conflicting. And there were these terrible arctic kings dashing and drifting around us in mighty majesty, while we, like the tribes in .the desert, pursued our way between the pillar of cloud and the pillar of flame. At nine o'clock, from the watch stationed at the different posts of observation, burst out cries of Ice ahead !"—" Ice larboard!" " —" Ice leeward !" and we found ourselves environed with field-ice. To turn was impossible. By the bending paddles a path was laboriously cut, through which we were propelled stern foremost, not without peril, changing our course due south, in the teeth of a driving blast. When once more in an open sea, the captain, not concealing our danger, advised us to retire. This we did soon after midnight, if not to sleep, yet to seek that rest which might help to gird us for future trials. At three, we were aroused by harsh grating, and, occasionally, thumping, causing the strongest timbers of the ship to tremble. This was from floating masses of ice, by which after having skirted a region of fieldice, fifty miles in extent, we were suvounded. Some of these were comparatively small, others of more formidable size. Our commander, who had not left his post of vigilance during the night, reported more than three hundred visible to the naked eye. Their general aspect was vitreous, or of a silvery whiteness, except when a sunbeam penetrated the mist; then they radiated with every hue in the rainbow, striking out into turrets, and columns, minarets and arches, like solid pearl or diamond, till we were transfixed with wonder at the terrible beauty of the architecture of the northern deep. Our path lay through frowning hosts, and amid ambushes, yet by the Divine blessing and nautical skill, we were eventually delivered from our paralyzing and pitiless foes. The engine of the Great Western, like a living, intelligent thing, had done the bidding of its chief. " Half a stroke," and its tumultuousaction was controlled. " A quarter of a stroke," and its breath seemed suspended. "Stand stills' and our vast hulk lay motionless on the writers, till two or three of tbe frozen squadron had drifted by. Let " her go," and with the velocity of lightning we darted by another detachment of tbe enemy. Had we been less skilfully steered, or subject to the domination of winds instead . of steam, beleagured as we were in that rough sea, we must inevitably have been dashed in pieces. Before noontide of April 19th (the anniversary of the battle of Lexington,) it pleased God to deliver us from our great danger Afterwards, when the slightest sail appearet commando upon the horizon, our caused two guns to be fired speak attcn tion; and then by flags and signals warnec them to avoid the perilous region from whence we had been set free. Two tiny barks came struggling through the surge, to hold more intimate converse with the mighty steamship, herself not unscathed from the recent conflict, yet willingly dispensing her dearbought wisdom. There was a degree of sublimity in this proffered counsel and gift of sympathy between the strong experienced voyager, and the more fragile travelers of ocean's trackless waste. It seemedlike some white haired Mentor, way-worn on time's pilgrimage, teaching the newly-girded " not to be high-minded—but fear." Drawing near the " haven where we would be," we felt how warmly this companionship in danger had endeared us to each other. The courtesies of friendly intercourse had prepared the heart; and gathered, as the passengers were, from different states and climes, that fraternal feeling deepened, when we approached the land, which was born when we stood together on the verge of eternity. Hereafter, when we recall each others' images, will return the memories of that terrific scene, which we now account it a privilege to have witnessed, and the thrill of unspeakable gratitude to an Almighty Preserver. He led us on our way,— He, through that path of horror was our guide, Sparing us breath to tell oar friends at home A tale of those destroyers, wbo so oft With one strong buffet of their frosty hands Have plung'd the loftiest ship beneath the surge, Nor left a voice to syllable her fate. Oh Thou who sprcad'st us not on Ocean's floor A sleeping bed unconsecrate with prayer. But brought us to our blessed homes again, And to the burial-places of our sires, Praise to Thine holy name ! L. H. SiaoinuiiY. Hartford, Conn., September 10th. 1861. Old Woman and the Sailor.—A worthy old woman was one day walking along the street with a bowl in her hand. A jovial sailor, rendered mischievous by liquor, came bearing down, and when opposite theold woman, saucily pushed her aside, and with a pass knocked the bowl out of her hand. He then halted to hear her fret and to enjoy a laugh at her expense. But what was his astonishment when she meekly picked up the pieces of her broken bowl, without the least resentment in her manner; then, giving him a dignified look of mingled sorrow, kindness, and pity, said : "God forgive you, my son, as I do." It touched a tender cord in the heart of the rude tar. He felt ashamed, condemned and repentant. The tear started in his eye; he must make reparation. He heartily confessed his error, and thrusting both his hands into his full pockets of change, he forced all their contents upon her, exclaiming: " God bless you, kind mother, I'll never do so again." �JLD-rERTISEIWEWTS.
