Woman's Position in the Foreign Missionary Enterprise: An Address delivered Monday, Feb. 11th, at the Funeral of Mrs. Sarah W. W. Doane, Wife of the Rev. T. E. Doane, Missionaries of the American Board, at the Marshall Islands. BY REV. S. C. DAMON. IPublishecl by Request.] We are gathered this afternoon, to bury the remains of one who left her country, home and friends, in obedience to the command, " Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Some advocates of foreign missions have expressed the opinion that this command was binding upon man, but not upon woman. Those holding this opinion have argued, and argued eloquently, that the Christian minister should go forth to earth's remotest bounds, visiting every continent and island inhabited by a descendant of Adam, but he should go alone, " and unaccompanied by a wife. They have urged that the missionary should be unencumbered and unembarrassed with a family or any of those ties which bind other men to a home and family.

She reached the island of Ponape or Ascension, before she was twenty years old. She and her husband remained a few months at Ronokiti, the Rev. Mr. Sturges' station, and then removed to the north side of the island, into the Jekoit tribe. There they remained for eighteen months, and if there is to be found a field of trial and difficulty, in all this ocean, I believe it is in the part of the island of Ascension where they located. There they prosecuted the study of the language and other missionary work, until removed by vote of the mission, to Ebon, one of the Marshall Islands, to be associated with the Rev. Dr. Pierson and wife, in the establishment of a new mission, but in a most difficult and -untried field of labor. Any one acquainted with the Marshall Islanders, knows that there is not a more proud, intractable, haughty and blood-thirsty tribe in this vast Pacific. They were the terror of the wrecked mariner—most emphatically a piratical race, not giving or asking " quarter."

It was her lot to have entered the experienced when some of those haughty and overbearing chiefs came to mingle their sympathies, and spread a new mat over the little one's remains. On our arrival, in the Morning Star, it was our intention to have cruised several weeks among the islands of the Ralick group, but the delicate state of Mrs. Doane's health and that of her child, led us to sail, as soon as the annual supplies of the mission were landed. On our departure, Mrs. Doane and children embarked as passengers for Honolulu, but it was decided that the interest of the mission absolutely demanded that Mr. Doane should remain and prosecute his missionary work. This was a great trial. He came off and saw his family on board. The following sketch I copy from No. XXI. of " Morning Star papers:" " Never shall we forget that parting scene. This hymn was sung : does, of should remind something in the BiMe; her whole life should be altogether a New Testament life." When this elevated and common-sense view of the missionary work is carried out, then woman takes her rightful, proper, noble and all-important position in the advancement of the jrand missionary enterprise. It is a most animating thought, that this • view of woman's position has become thoroughly embodied in the modern theory of Protestant missions. It is undoubtedly, the true gospel method. There has not been found any very difficult or insuperable obstacle in the way of its accomplishment. Abstractly speaking, some have argued, that woman would be inadequate to the task— the undertaking would be too hazardous for her frail nature ; but the very opposite result has been found true in practice. I am not aware as she has ever been found wanting, or shrunk back when called to either the North or the South, to the East or the West. She has found her way to Greenland and other foreign climes. She has cheerfully • " How vain is all beneath the skies ! How transient every earthly bliss ! How slender all the fondest lies.

Though passing through a vale of tears." " The Key. Mr. Doane offered a prayer in the Ebon language, and it was followed by a prayer in English. We saw a number of the native Christians, or 'lovers of Jesus,' pass around to the state-room window and bid Mrs. Doane forewell, with many tears. It would have subdued the stoutest soul to have witnessed the missionary part with his wife and children, and then step into his boat and steer lor his lonely home ! There may be a romance about the missionary life, when viewed from the shores of Christian England and America, but all romance is dissipated and it puts on a stern reality when the real experience comes. As we stood upon the quarter deck of the Morning Star, conversing with the Rev. Mr. Doane, and taking a last look at the shores of Ebon, we said, It is hard for you to part with your family, and go there to labor alone.' His only reply was, ' 1 could not, if I did not feel that Jesus was my companion.' Surely it was no unmeaning language of our Savior, with you alway, even unto the ' Lo,of1 am world.' end the While this scene was passing, the sailors were heaving at the anchor, and the sails were loosening. We were soon off and bound for Strong's Island, but with the glass, we watched that little boat, rising and falling with the swell, until it was lost in the distance. When that happy family will be again united, is known only to the Master, in whose cause they ' Eicious ■ labor." But the Divine Master has decided that the happy family shall not be united again on earth. He has called the wife away from her husband, and the mother from her children. 0 how fervently she prayed that she might once more see her husband, if it should be the Lord's will. She, however, could and did say, "Thy will be done." Daring that fearful night of the 23d of July, when we all expected to have found a watery grave, she uttered the same sentiment. Not that she was indifferent to life, for she was tenacious of life. She clung to her children and to her husband. Her active mind was �19 THE FRIEND, MARCH,IBI2. to her field of labor. I was a horribly cruel murder, and what commenced laughing she would have returned Often have I heard her remark, that she never regretted having come upon a mission to Micronesia. Her missionary life had been happy, although oftentimes exceedingly trying. It is a gratifying circumstance that during all her distressing sickness upon shipboard and in Honolulu, she has enjoyed the constant attention of a faithful Ebonite Christian female—a woman who has been elevated from the lowest depths of heathenism by her labors and example ! Under all these circumstances, I do not wonder that she clung to life, or wished to live many days, if it should be God's will. She was in the very prime of woman-hood. Life looked bright before her. Her heart was in her work and in the education ofher children, hence it was seemingly hard for her to be sick—to be thus early in life laid aside. While it was thus trying for her to bid adieu to the scenes of this world, yet when the Master called, she was ready. Up to nearly the last moment, her faculties were clear and bright. Death had no terrors. At length, when " The angel of the covenant Was come, and faithful to bis promise, stood Prepared to walk with herthrough desth'sdark vale," she leaned upon his arm and passed quietly over the Jordanof death. Her last moments were peculiarly serene and happy. Who doubts for one momerlt that she now is among the blood-washed throng, singing the praises of God and the Lamb, and experiencing the sentiment of those lines we have so often heard her sing: we've been there ten thousand years, " When Bright shining, as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise. Than when we first begun." Martyrs of Erromanga. ■is a most remarkable fact, that another ler of English Missionaries should have occurred near the very spot where Messrs. Williams and Harris were murdered in 1839. An account of the recent massacre at Erromanga, has already been published in the English and American newspapers, but the following narrative we publish, because written by an eye witness. We are not personally acquainted with the writer, but from a letter which now lies before us, we infer that he is connected with a Sydney trading vessel, which chanced to be at the Bay when the sad event occurred. This writer refers in the letter which he has addresed to us, to the massacre of the Captain and crew of the American whale ship Superior, at the Solomon Islands, which occurred in the autumn of 1860. 811, the writer, dates his commu- Dillon's Bay, Erromanga, June 12th, 1861. ;ond murder took place on this ishe 20th of last month, it was that of the Rev. Mr. Gordon and wile, who have been missionanes here for the last three years. He was a very good and kind man by the account of all that knew him intimately, and greatly beloved by the few whom he had trained over on the side of religion. It made it more affecting was, on account of ils being so near the place, where the lamented John Williams and Mr. Harris fell, and close to the spot where the former was cooked. The only account we can get for doing the foul deed is, that they believed he brought sickness here, (they have threatened the missionary on Tanna, and burnt the churches in Anaham, on account of the same thing, the measles, brought from Port dc France, New Caledonia, and raging violently here for some time, as well as amongst other islands of the group, having been brought by natives returning from Port dc France home.) However, it was an excuse for them, but it was an inordinate desire for eating human flesh, and a great love of murder, possessed by none so much as this island and Tanna, which are only eighteen miles apart, but speaking quite different languages, and not understanding each other. The way of the murder was this: Mr. Gordon had his house on the top of a hill, about 1000 feet above the level of the sea, in quite an unprotected place, even his churchgoing members did not live nearer than a mile, with the exception of one or two—they lived at the foot of the hill in the exact spot where John Williams was killed, and where Mr. Gordon had erected his first chapel and printing office. This spot he had left, on account of its unhealthiness, and removed on the hill. He had now determined to remove further down, half way between the former and present residence, on account of the severe hurricanes in the winter months. He was at this time building a new house and church in the intermediate spot. About a 100 yards from his house there is a small thicket, through which the road runs; the two places may be about half, or allowing for the sinuosities of the road, three-fourths of a mile apart, and a very steep road it is. Mr. Gordon, on Monday the 20th of May, was at the lower or new house, busy at work, having sent all his natives but the little boys to gather grass to roof the house. A party of natives, eleven in number, came to the upper residence, and finding Mr. Gordon not there, nine of them placed themselves in ambush in the end of the thicket nearest the hou?e ; two of them went down to him and asked him for some calico and some medicine for a sick man ; he took a piece of charcoal nnd wrote on a board to his wife: " Give these men a yard of calico each," and told them that would do ; then they said that their chief Lova, or Lauvaa, was in the house and wished to see him. He replied, have not eaten my dinner yet; let me " I and eat then I'll go"—Mrs. Gordon having sent a plate of yam and fowl down to him. However, without waiting to eat, he said, '■Come alone I can eat in the house." They said, " Go on, we'll follow." He immediately set off, followed at some distance by the two natives. Just as he was emerging from the thicket, he received a blow on spine; he fell with his face forwards, uttering a scream. He then received a blow under his right ear, with a tomakawk, almost severing his head from his body; another severe cut in the left side of the neck; three wounds on his right arm, and several other wounds. On hearing the scream, Mrs. Gordon ran nut. and the natives, to drown it. and shouting. Two of them by this time had left the wood. Mrs. Gordon asked what the noise was about. They said, nothing. She then asked where the rest of the natives were. One of them ( said he did not know; at the same time one was creeping gently up behind her, with his tomahawk concealed. When near enough, he struck her also in the spine, then gave her the last, but useless, cut in the left side of the neck, severing everything. Immedidiately the alarm was given, I and Mr. Milne, and Capt. Edwards, of Port dcFrance, armed ourselves and natives, and went in pursuit. We were too late to secure the murderers, but secured the bodies from being taken off and eaten, and the house from being plundered and burnt. The bodies were a most ghastly sight to look on. We carried them down to where he first landed, and John Williams was killed, and there, with tears and lamentations, laid them side by side, and the greatest mourner was the very chief Pauvaa, who killed John Williams. The missionaries have erected a very nice tomb, and fenced it in. We and they arc daily threatened, but we keepagood look-out.

We are glad to hear that the brethren at the south are prospered in their labors, and that they do not hava the laws against them as we do in Japan.

But that the matter may be more fairly tested, I send you a copy of, " Medhjlrst's Vocabulary," in which the Japanese words are given in English letters, and after, in the native dress. This, if you please, you may send to some of the missionariesof those islands, supposed to be somewhat similar to the Japanese. The books and tracts which you so kindly sent, have, I hope, been doing good service among the sailors.

The University of Cambridge, is the union of seventeen colleges. St. Peter's College was founded in 1257, which is the oldest, while Downing was founded in 1800, which is the youngest. In 1860 there were 1,496 undergraduates in these several colleges. The University Library, contains 170,000 volumes.

Our present U. S. Consul, Mr. Caldwell, C. C. Harris, Esq. and J. W. Austin', Esq., are graduates of Cambridge. A Catalogue, of Vale College, for 1861-2, exhibits unmistakeable proofs of great prosperity in that excellent institution, dating back to the year 1700. Its Library then contained only " 40 volumes," given by a lew clergymen, who said, " These books we give for the founding of a College in Connecticut," but now its Library has increased to 69,500 volumes. There are 462 undergraduates and 137 pursuing a professional course, lienco 5'J'J students are now connected with this flourishing institution. During the last century, the celebrated Bishop Berkloy was a distinguished patron of Vale College.

In those days, he was a frequent poetical contributor to our columns. We have long cherished the fond hopo, that some rich millionaire would endow a professorship at Oahu College, and invite Prof. Lyman to occupy the chair ! ! A Catalogue of Williams College, for 1861-2, reports '212 undergraduates. This institution was founded in 1798,and after struggling against sundry adverse influences, has now attained a highly respectable standing among American Colleges. It is presided over by one of the ablest of American Divines, the Rev. Dr. Hopkins, who is assisted by an efficient corps of Professors and tutors. This institution enjoys the honor of having graduated those young men who led off in the Foreign Missionary enterprise. There Mills, Richards and others formed their plans for going abroad as Missionaries to the heathen. Some of our prominent men upon the islands, graduated at Williams, and among them we will mention Chief Justice Allen, President Mills, Rev. E. Corwin and Rev L. Smith. Several young men Irom the islands, have lately graduated from this institution, while we notice but one among the undergraduates from the islands Senior. Samuel C. Armstrong, A glance tit a Catalogue of Amherst College, calls up many pleasant recollections, for it was within the walls of that flourishing institution, that we pitssed lour years, from 1882-1836. Thia Collego was fouuded, iv 1820, and has already taken an enviable position among the sisterhood of American Colleges. It is pleasantly located in the delightful valley of tho Connecticut, and is surrounded by a most picturesque amphitheatre of hills and mountains. Uo the opposite bank of this river stands Northampton, and in the intervening valley lies the quiet valley of Hadley, while to the right Sugar-loaf Mountain, and to the left Mount Holyoke, stand ns sentinels guarding the inhabitants of that most beautiful spot in all New England. This institution has always enjoyed the efficient servioes of an able Faoulty, and talented body of Professors and tutors. Professor Hitchcock, the veteran American Geologist, of world-wide fame, still holds th« Professorship of other professorNatural Theology and Geology. The ships are tilled by gentlemen of ripe scholarship and emineut scientific attainments. The present number of undergraduates is 242. It was during the period of our connection with this institution, that there names: : II ( . some students who have sinoe become known to fame. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Pastor of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. Dr. Storrs. were another Pastor of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Dr. Rookwell still another Pastor of that "City of Churches," were our fellow students at Amherst. The Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, and successor of the Rev. Dr. Scott, was our classmate. The former divine cume out with a Secession sermon about one year ago, which was extensively circulated and reviewed His talents and throughout the United States. ability are of the highest order. A late visitor to the United States, after hearing various preachers, in different parts of the country, remarked that the Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, was his modelpreacher. It has been announced that be received a call to become the successor of the Rev. Dr. Alexander, in New York oily. We cannot but express our regret that our old friend and fellow classmate should now find himself in the ranks of the Secessionists. We could mention several other persons, who were quietly pursuing their Collegiate studies, only a few years ago, at Amherst, but who now have become men of distinction, among them the Rev. Dr. Huntington, late Preacher to the University of Cambridge, and the Rev. Dr Hitchcock, Professor of Ecclesiastical History, in Union Theological Seminary" at New York city. We do well remember as a student, the celebrated Prof. Fowler, S( Phrenological notoriety. Other American Colleges maypossess advantages equal to those of Amherst, we are confident however but very few are superior. There, the student is happily removed from the vicious and dissipating influences and associations of a large city, and happily surrounded by the most healthful and invigorating influences of refined literary society. The religious influences of the region are of the old Puritan stamp. There, in the heart of old Massachusetts, may be witnessed the genuine fruit of that seed of whioh it bat been said, that God sifted three kingdoms, to obtain seed wherewith to plant the hills and valleys of New England.

Damon : Dear Sir—You published in the last number of the Friend a portion of the " Notes on the Sandwich Islands," by A. Yon Chamisso. It may interest his adopted countrymen, at lenst, to read the following well written Yours, truly, episode in his life. * The Poet and his Bride. A TRUE TALK OF A PURE LOVE. Among the children who played in the magnificent grounds of the stately Chateau dc Boncourt, there was one unlike the rest in mental traits, as also in the possession of a rich and tender fancy, through which, young as he was, he viewed the external world. Everything around him was calculated not only to nourish this, but also to implant and cherish that esprit dc corps which characterized the old nobility of France, more, perhaps, than that of any other country. His family had been pre-eminently loyal, had enjoyed uninterrupted wealth, a succession of honors, and had intermarried with various reigning houses. Thickly around were strewn the carefully preserved souvenirs of countless gallant achievements, of events which had become history, of superb festivals, and princely weddings. Over these the boy sometimes brooded, and there was one which particularly attracted his eye —a sword, bestowed with the rank of captain upon his grand-father, at the age of fifteen, lor u service which proved his right to that advancement. But a new plant or a ' roving insect gave him greater pleasure than the stained and moth-eaten banners which drooped idly in the chapel, or the chains, the helmets, and the linked mail which shone proudly in the great hall, or hung, covered with dust, in the armory. The flittinrr of a bird's wing, the chime of the vesper bells faintly heard in the twilight, the conflict of clouds borne on opposing winds, the gleam of the lightning, had for the little Adalbe yon Chamisso a fascination as irresistible a it was singular. The Revolution broke rudely upon h dreams, and his family, reduced to a poi but one removed from poverty, succeeded crossing the frontier. Attached as they were to station and privilege, the glitter of orde and the array of titles, necessity compellef them to seek for him some better dependene than an empty name, and he entered as pupil the painting department of the roya porcelain manufactory of Berlin, At fifteet he was placed among the Queen of Prussia pages; a change which aided to give h opinions that soundness and depth for whic they were, later in life, distinguished. > seventeen, after a prolonged inward struggle reluctantly, and haunted by gloomy fore bodings, he entered the Prussian army, am in three years recelVed a lieutenancy. No withstanding his enthusiasm, his gallantry and his restless activity, the career of arm was not that for which he was beat fitted and its early termination, through no fault o his own, was not to be regretted, save fo the mortification which he endured on ths account. During this period, he had no been idle. He had been a careful student arid had done much towards mastering the �22 THE FRIEND, MARCH, lit 2. language in which he was to win an honest and enduring fame. He had fallen in love, also, with the pretty and fascinating widow, Madame Ceres Duvernay, and manfully proposed for her hand, saying to himself, " Lore needs so little." Luckily. Madame knew better. Did it * not need satins and laces, a new jewel now and then, a floor in town, a cottage in the country, saddle-horses and servants ? Certainly—so she kissed her hand to the handsome, large-natured youth whose soul was in his soft, expressive eye*, and left him to his books, and to the group offriends whose affection soon enabled him to forget his transient passion. La Motte Fouque, Neumann, Dc la Foye, and Hitzig were among them, and not one but retained a place in his heart through every alternation of good and evil fortune. They started a poetic annual called " The Green Book," which was greatly admired, and through the medium of which Freiligrath ultimately became known to the public. Weary, because purposeless, years followed, yet they could not have been altogether wasted. Closely allied both by birth and education to the higher orders, Chamisso yet approved that vast social change which had brought to him only misfortunes; looking below the surface to its primal principle, forgiving its first wild excesses, never swayed by selfishness on the one hand, never betrayed into fanaticism on the other, as warmly cherishing the memory of the past, hopeful for the future, whose promise was at best fitful and often clouded, he was gradually developing into one of the noblest specimens of a man, a subject, and a citizen. Early exiled from France and transferred in boyhood to Germany, he belonged to neither country. the soil; there, the men, are foreign "toHere, me," he said. He joined his family in their country to which they had returned, but he was not content, and returned to Berlin. In Hitzig's house he came nearer to repose. Thoroughly generous, that accomplished writer occasionally adopted the orphan child of a friend, and so was always surrounded by a blooming band growing into estimable womanhood amidst healthful home training and influence. To them, as to their elders, Chamisso was a welcome guest. Numberless were the drafts which he made for them upon his exhaustless imagination. Grotesque tales worthy the soil of Iran, wild legends, witty caricatures, charming allegories, exquisite moral stories, interspersed with snatches of song, and little poems worthy of the "Green Book," followed each other, often in quick succession. Curious pantomimes sometimes filling up the evening, in which his execution was admirable. Among the children who crowded about him, was one. Antonie Piaste, who, more frequently than the others, found a place upon his knee, and upon whose intelligent countenance his gaze rested with peculiar pleasure. Shy at first, she learned to creep closer and closer to him. Nothing was wanting to the visit if his fingers might toy with her silken hair, or fold over the small hand which impulsively sought their clasp. One night, when she was about eight years •f age, forgetful of a promised glimpse of blended glee and sadness, he repeated the from the moonlit waters lightly tossing befollowing, written by himself, than which neath the swift-winged ship.

But when the occasion came, she saw only the traveler and poet, and she grew timid; so There was silence for some minutes after that the bond so delightful to both seemed he had finished; the younger members of indeed broken. Chamisso tried to forget his wishes, and his audience, subdued by his voice and manner, the older ones melted by the rare skill busied himself in publishing an interesting of the poet in giving utterance to his reform- account of his voyage, which is even now atory faith, mingled with his affectionate well worth the perusal.

After relating some anecdotes with spars and cordage, her eyes had looked up we do not know; but at Hitzig's house �23 THE FRIEND, MARCH, 18C2. there was a new betrothal, and pretty soon Antonie bought her simple wedding-dress. Chamisso was appointed curator of the Botanic Garden, and May 7, 1819, wrote thus : You know my bride Antonie Piaste, the handsomest and dearest of those maidens whom, as Hoffman says, Hitzig keeps about him to kiss his hand and call him papa—the one whom Loest betrothed to me, as a child, in 1807—now I fetch her home. I have chosen with my understanding, and taken hold of the chosen object with my heart. * * If you come back soon to Berlin, I hope that you will find me in a little house that stands close by the Botanic Garden, (I am the director's assistant, with a salary of six hundred dollars, and have selected that little house for my official residence,) busily and pleasantly occupied with my flowers, and with a helpmate like them. But if any old friend returns here twenty years hence, then I hope to God he may find me just as ever, engaged with my flowers and my helpmate, only there shall sit by our side a blooming girl that shall repeat faithfully and unaltered her for I should mother's present image, * be loth to forego the pure satisfaction with which my artistic eye rests on my Antonie's fprm." In 1825, Chamisso was called to Paris to receive 100,000 francs from the Commissioners of the Indemnity Fund. He was feted and caressed, but wrote to his wife, " Don't forget the roses don't forget the children's letters; don't forget to strew food for sparrows on my window. I shall return to you the same as I left you; let me find everything again just as it was." His poetical reputation increased until he became a decided favorite with the public. Honors were also conferred upon him as a naturalist, which he enjoyed in his own guileless, conscientious way. In 1837, his wife died, ond he survived her only fifteen months. His last lines were written for the benefit of a washerwoman, and produced one hundred and fifty dollars. A thoroughly earnest, active, truthful man, Chamisso wins the affection of his readers so quietly that one does not know he is knocking at his heart until he has already entered. * * * " * • „ . ; CHARTS FOR SALE.
