The Friend a "Comfort" to the Sailor. Scott, Byron, or some other modern literary celebrity, once remarked that he would consider it a far higher compliment to find one of his volumes at a country inn, with leaves turned down, dog's ear fashion, and pages well thumbed, than to meet with it on a table in a lady's parlor, neatly bound and gilt-edged, but unread. .Editors, too, are gratified to learn that their scribblings are read. We have lately been pleased to receive applications from several old shipmasters to furnish as many back volumes as we had in our possession. The older the better! A shipmaster once gave us fifty dollars for a complete file of the Friend from the commencement of its publication. Such testimonials are encouragingamidst the numerous perplexities and vexations ot an Editor's life. But recently a sailor paid the Friend a compliment which we equally prize, and now mention it for the encouragement of those benevolent donors who contribute their freewill offerings for the gratuitous circulation of this paper. During a late visit to the American Hospital, we met a sailor somewhat advanced in years, limping along on his cane, who solicited the loan of a bound volume of the Friend. In the course of our interview, he said that sixteen years ago he visited Honolulu, and obtained a volume of the Friend, which had been his companion during all his subse- JUNE 1, 1863. 41 {©IflSttits, ©Hi. 20.

In this chapter, Madame Gasparin presents her views of God's love, pardon, sin, prayer, the work of the Holy Spirit, etc. Some of the sketches in this book are drawn in masterly style. After reading this book we can say with some of the British critics, " this is a remarkable book." So says the Scotsman, while the British Quarterly Review asserts that it is "a book full of beauty and pathos." A writer in Macmillin's Magazine says, "This book speaks to the hearts of us all." Of Whom I Si-eak.—There arc two great truths under the sun,—God's pardon, and His justice. There are two peoples on the earth a people of men who speak different languages, and live in different climates, but who have all felt the horror of sin, and the need of a spiritual help, and have recognized, as accomplished in themselves, the work of the Holy Spirit; and another people very differ-. ent, scoffers, obdurate, who reject all the appeals, open or mysterious, of the Divine grace. The prayer for mercy has never fallen from their lips; they laugh at the idea of pardon, they cast it from their minds. With this last people I do not occupy myself. The future of rebellious spirits presents a prospect, the horror of which I would on no : account diminish. I was not made for such a subject. I attach myself to the glorious phalanx of the redeemed. I turn towards the celestial horizon ; I turn towards the light, to the infinite serenities, to the love without limit, to perfect joy. I would awaken joy. It is this we want. By a redeemed soul, 1 understand the man who has felt himself guilty, felt himself weak—who has, in utmost humility, thrown himself before the Eternal, murmuring, " Have mercy on me !" But you who mourn departed friends, from najiose mouth you have not received the full assurante of peace, do not you turn from me. If I cannot with firm hand, point them out to you in glory, I can show you something magnificent—a rainbow all radiant with nope—the love of our Savior, the power of prayer, the free and royal gift of an omnipotent grace. Love divine ! It has depths we cannot follow. Even here below, has not the mother's heart felt that there was an inexhaustible tenderness which surpassed her own 1 You who hang over trie little cradle, when anxiety for the future seiaes on you, and you grow pole before enemies who have not revealed themselves, is it not true that one single thought will at once calm you ? God cherishes my child, and this my tenderness is as nothing compared to the love of God ! This husband or this mother whom I moum, Jesus has loved them. Who shall unfold to me the mysteries of this love ? who ■hall limit its action? He knows all, I nothing. When lo»t in grief, I can neither see nor comprehend; He sees, He loves, and He is the Savior. Permit me a reminiscence from my travels in the East, which will never be effaced from my mind. We had passed Bethlehem, we had passed the Pool of Solomon ; we had been traversing for a long time solitary lulls, where some wild herb alone movea to the wind, when, on a sudden, a dark line cut the horizon. It enlarged, it upproached, it delined itself in battlements; they were the walls of Jerusalem. Behind those wulls I saw there,—with those eyes of the soul that look out beyond the present. —I saw the grand cross of Christ arise and dominate the city anil dominate the world. My heart swelled, tears flowed down my I'lieek. An immense love, an unmeasured pity and pardon descend from the cress upon the whole earth. Those who refuse it, destroy and limit it for themselves ; thoM who hunger Ukd thirst for it, find it always equal to their aspirations. Whosoever calls upon God will lie saved. Sublime words, which, descending from the throne of God, fall upon our lost world, ami, in falling on it, spread ■ universal light 1 recognise no formula which has power to convert men ; 1 adore a Holy Spirit which, under every sky, can tame the pride of man, and throw him repentant at the feet of his Creator. Jesus died for all. All do not know the only name that saves. Knowledge must come from without; the sentiment of our guilt and misery springs from the heart. There is no heart beyond the circle of Divine action. Every soul which in its famine cries to the Eternal,-finds the Eternal. This ineflie ble cry, uttered in whatsoever zone or epoch, traverses infinite space, and sinks in the heart of Jesus. Without doubt, where the atmosphere 1 is thick, the light is feeble ; without doubt, there are such clouds as can obscure the day—such ignorance and hardness of the conscience as reduce man to the condition ol the beasts; hut the power ol God, but the love of God,—here are my two hi nips for this labyrinth. 1 am ignorant of all, God knows all. 1 think I love, but I love nothing as He loves. My God, who has made the heart, can always touch the heart. Come, contemplate with me this Divine love in its plenitude, as it acts upon some poor creature in the hour of death. I would not encourage the idleness or the indecision of the soul. The man who has a long time refused to hear may lose the ! 3. dience and in courage. Leaving veteran Christians behind, it passes ail, it has achieved all; and, nevertheless, it is itself, with its own individuality, but ripened by a single glance from the Divine love. Jesus has done this. What He said to the soul at that last hour I know not. What I have seen I believe. It is the work of God. And what is ours ? • An immense power is given us—a direct influence on the Governor of worlds—prayer. Shall I recall the promises made to it ? We have our cars filled with them, but what they announce so surpasses our hope that we do not believe in them. Infinite goodness—poor fallen creatures that we are !—finds us more skeptical than infinite justice. It matters not; prayer is a power ; and it on earth it has a contested authority, it rules like a queen in heaven. God dwells far off from us, —lost, so to speak, in the height of the empyrean. Prayer brines Him down amongst us, brings Him to our hearts., and links His power with our efforts. The heart of this man repels me. hut all his resistance disappears before a Divine tenderness. My words irritated, this can move and assuage. I know not how to constrain another soul ; there is One who leads it by invisible cords. Events ricfy me ; there is One who can bend them to His purpose. He, God and Father, can unite in one focus so many scattered beams, that the darkest soul shall be suddenly inundated with light and the coldest heart kindled with love. I do not destroy the freedom of man. Man can say Yes ; man can say No. To say No, knowing that it is the Eternal and his pardon that is refused—to scorn our own salvation, with eyes open and n sane mind—is perhaps that frightful sin of which it is written. Pray not for it. But have I seen.or known such ctll prits, or do they exist for me ? God excepted, does any one know the hopeless? For me, I know my father, my mother, my friend, this or that man ; God puts into my heart the cry of intercession ; and if I hesitate, the same God says to me, Believe ; nil is possible to him who lias faith. In the time of Jesus there were paralytics and the dying. They could not of themselves go to Christ; their wasted limbs refused to carry them; they knew not that Jesus was near and wished to cure them. There weoe even the dead who could not stir. Who. then, interceded ? who besought the Master ? A father for his daughter, a centurion for his slave. And Jesus resuscitated the dead. What we want is faith. The holiness of God dismays us, but his charity still more. We stand bewildered, fearful, and mute. May I possess that sacred boldness which lies in true humility ! I will pray for you, dear friends, whom my own sins and omissions have kept separated from the Savior ; I will pray for you whom my cowardice often, and sometimes a natural sentiment of bashfulness, have prevented me from addressing with words of power of hearing. I know this well. But the nwment also may come when the lost sheep, called in vain through all the fertile valley of the earth, may answer nt length out of the sombre valley of death. It is thus God seeks his simple creatures engaged in the labors of life, weak, ill-instructed, but with a heart still loyal and just. In an instant the soul is transformed. It has comprehended, it has submitted, it has prostrated itself; God has raised it, it lives. A few days, a few hours suffice ; God, in an instant, at one bound, can enable it to pass through the intermediate degrees. Frozen, it burns; lame, it runs; rebellious and pu- serious import; I will pray for you whom sillanimous, it is now accomplished in obe- all admire perhaps, and for whom none �THE FRIEND, JUNE, Grand and lofty minds, who traverse our sky, leaving trains of light behind—for you I pray !

Have I said what I wished ? Have I communicated hope ? Have 1 made you feel the inexpressible love of our Savior, the power of prayer, the sovereign, unlimited actions of God ?—I know not. Perhaps emotion with me is stronger than argument. Approach, then, the pages of Holy Writ. What figures, sublime in their simplicity, group themselves there! Contemplate them. Their aspect has more eloquence than these lips of mine. Is it love you would be convinced of? •See Jesus on the cross. Is it the power of prayer ? See women on their knees, and near them the dead who rise. Is it the free action of the Holy Spirit? See the dying thief, and hear the murmur on his lips—Kemember me. By a late arrival in New York from Newburn, N. C, the mail bags contained 66,000 letters from the soldiers, to their friends scattered over New England and the other Northern Stutes. This was only one mail. Similar mails are going South and returning North. One of these letters, written by a father to his little son, chanced to fall into our hands. Now, as there are a good many little Harrys on the Sandwich Islands, as well as elsewhere, we thought some of them would like to read about a soldier's life, when he was not fighting. Camp, Newport Barracks, March 13, 1803. ) \ My Dear Boy Hakry :—Since I last wrote home I have been on an expedition to The buildings on this plantation were constructed upon a most liberal plan; the mansion was a large octagon house of two stories, with a lookout on top; from this, one has a line] view of Bogue Sound, and across the sound the whole town of Swansboro, about one mile in the distance, is seen to good advantage ; it was the object of our expedition to cross the sound and destroy the salt-works at that place. I think, Harry, that you would have liked to have been with me on this trip, for at the plantation I have been writing about, there were in one building two hundred and fifty bushels of peanuts ; they had not been baked. Don't you think it would take all the little boys and girls in your school a long time to eat them all ? The Artillery men one night brought into camp five hives of good honey. Did we not have a good feast ? These fellows are very liberal, and many of the boys had their canteens filled with clear honey; this makes even hard bread go down easier. Stealing is not allowed now on our marches, so that all these things have to be done on the sly. It is no uncommon thing in the morning to see from six to a dozen men at the Colonel's quarters, looking for property lost the night before. I was somewbut pleased one morning, for a man came running to camp, inquiring for our general; he had the night before lost tliree hams and said they were taken by some Cavalry men; so the General goes to where the Cavalry men were encamped, and passing some soldiers who were frying ham and eggs, the General turned his back, and asked tbe officer in command if he allowed his men ham ? yes, we have of late carried more or " O,with less us." The General then says, '• If you can identify the men you shall be paid." This of course he was unable to do, and the poor man had to go home, although he saw the men cooking his own ham. I had almost forgotten to write about the splendid peach trees that I saw on this plantation, all in full bloom, and oh, how fragrant, the whole air filled with the sweet perfume, noticed also, near the mansion, a splendid spring of water, so plenty that the two hundred horses that drank from it were unable to lower it in the least; over and around this spring were standing six splendid magnolias, soon to be in blossom. When they are, I am informed that the scent of the peach blossom, ns compared to them, sinks into insignificance, that is to say, smells bad. To-morrow lam to head an expedition out beyond the pickets, about five miles. I shall have one four-horse team nnd one two-horse team. We are going for lumber. We shall have two Cavalry men and six other soldiers armed so as to be able to take care o*V>urselves. To get this lumber we have to tear down a house that has been abandoned. I have been out once, and had very good luck.

We staid there three nights ; it was a splendid place where we encamped, in an oak grove with no underbush, about one fourth of a mile from the salt water. Our camp joined right on to the finest plantation that I have ever seen in North Carolina. The first night we all slept in the open air, scraping together the oak leaves for a bed, and as I was somewhut weary I never slept better in all my life. The next day most of us went to the shore und gathered as many oysters as we chose, spending the remainder of the day resting, lying in the pleasant sun, telling stories, singing songs, etc. As night came on there were slight indications of rain, so we thought it best to prepare some shelter; we made us a shed by first putting up two crotched sticks in the ground, then putting a pole across the top, three poles running from the top pole down to the ground ; on the back or top of this structure, we put four india-rubNature forgives no sin, no error. ber blankets nicely lapped and tied together, at each end another blanket.

Gould & Lincoln are the Boston publishers, and Messrs. Black, of Edinburgh, issue the works abroad. The " Testimony of the Rocks" has reached a sale of 26,000 copies in England and the same in America. Next comes the " Footprints of the Creator," in which the American sale has entirely outstripped the English, the former being upwards of 19,000, and the latter about 6.000. The " Old Red Sandstone" has sold 16.000 copies in the states, to 9,000 in England ; the " Schools and Schoolmasters," 16,000 to 10,000 of the English ; and the First Impressions of England," 9,00 " 6,000 in Black's edition.

In the play of Othello, when the crafty, two-faced and ignoble lago would excite jealousy in the bosom of the Moor of Venice, one of the means which he adopted was to disgrace Othello's lieutenant, Cassio, by getting him drunk with wine. lago was but too successful. Cassio takes too much. He is found negligent when placed in command. Evil consequences follow, and Cassio is disShakspeare's Opinion graced, exclaiming, " Reputation, reputation, reputation ! O I ha»e lost my reputation !" Cassio, unfortunately, was not the first or last soldier who has lost his reputation Solomon declared three thrdugh wine. thousand years ago, "wine is a mocker; strong drink is raging ; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Solomon and Shakspeare were two wise men. They knew the effects of wine. Poor Cassio, just like ten thousand other drunkards, having lost his situation, and fallen under disgrace, was anxious to recover what he had lost, his reputation, his standing, his rank. "Ah ! thsre's the rub !" as Shakspeare says elseReputation may be easily lost, where. character easily tarnished, rank easily forfeited, but to restore reputation, character, rank, that is not so easy a matter. " Wine is a mocker." Men fancy they may have a jolly good time, get drunk, revel, carouse, and no injury will follow. There is just the dangerous point. " Wine is a mocker." When Cassio waked up from his debauch, and that " terrible next morning" dawned, then he became aware ol what injury he had His reputation was gone. Like done. many other drunkards, he felt mortified and ashamed. He was ready now to do anything, make promises, sign the pledge! Listen to his exclamation of self-reproach : " Drunk? and speak parrot? and squabble ? swagger ? swear ? and discourse fustian with one's own shadow ? 0 thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no other name to be known by, let us call thee Devil." Many a sober word is said in jest, and so many a solemn truth is uttered by men who speak from the severe pangs of remorse and self-reproach. Drunkards, reformed and unreformed, utter the severest language in regard to wine and ardent spirits as a beverage. Temperance lecturers and editors never began to denounce the use of intoxicating liquors as we have heard them denounced by those who use them. Listen again to the self-condemning Cassio : "O that men should put an enemy in th«ir mouths to steal away their brains ! that we should with joy, revel, pleasure and applause, transform ourselves intb beasts." i; FRIEND, JUNE, 186 3. The poor drunkard becomes a beast. He sinks oftentimes lower than the brutes.

These men do not understand the subject as well as the crafty lago. He knew what the effects of wine were and would be. We refer the advocates of intoxicating drinks to the keensighted but diabolical lago—the very incarnation of evil ! Cassio would not listen to lago's coaxing plea. Cassio knew what he had done and said, " I have well approved it ! I drunk !" Others too, have proved what wine will do. But why argue the point longer ? Would that we could persuade men to pursue the safe pathway of total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors ! wine The Evangelical Association will commence its sessions next Wednesday, the 3d inst. The number of missionaries already arrived, and others expected, indicate that the meetings will be fully attended. Subjects of the highest importance relating to this Mission and missions in general, will be discussed. The presence of the Rev. Dr. Anderson, Senior Secretary of the Board, will add greatly to the interest of the discussions.

But • �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1863. all our efforts proved unavailing, and for three long hours we stood under one of the heaviest cannonading and musketry ever witnessed in this war; the ground in and around our lines was literally covered with dead and dying. Again I escaped injury, with the exception of a slight hit upon the left hip, just enough to keep up my spirits. Well, that great battle has passed, and some thousands, on that sad and fatal day, gave their lives to the cause of freedom and their country. This has been a short winter, but one of extraordinary bad weather—rain and snow have visited us almost daily ; and with such an army as we have here, constantly on the move, the roads have become almost impassable. Spring is now upon us ; the weather is clear, and the strong March winds are fast preparing the roads for a forward movement. Our army is in the l)est of discipline and efliciency, and although we have met with so many reverses, we are again ready and willling to do our duty. I have often had the blues, and feared we would have to succumb to the imbecility of our leaders; but a change has taken place. Tens of thousands of the deserters are daily returning, and our star of success, although partially obscured by sad mistakes and the traitors at our own Northern homes, is now beginning to shine forth, and I trust may grow brighter and brighter, till not one speck is left to darken our once happy land. Tears of wrath often fill my eyes as I read the doings of our Northern Doujh-heads." Politicians who should have been hung years ago, are now belching forth one continual string of disloyalty. One party is as bad as the other some want the negroes ; others want peace; while Party No. 3 (to which I belong) wants this war settled at the mouth of the cannon and point of the bayonet. We have the means, the men and the will—let our generals do their duty, the soldiers will do their part. Papers say we are becoming very much demoralized. This is a falsehood, and the traitor that publishes such lies should be hung up by the heels till the war closes. We are not, nor never were demoralized—and such accusations set against this army only tend to kindle anew our sincere devotion to the Country and the old Star Spangled Banner. 'Tis true we have had many deserters, but we have a tremendous army, made up of every class of people on this footstool, and those that desert have no character—some, I often think, have but little body, much less soul. They skulk away from every battle, tell all the big yarns about defeats, &c. This class, I am happy to say, are now scared ; many never stnelled powder on the field, but have tasted the sweets of musketry by the just retribution bestowed upon them by Court-Martial—a hard and disgraceful death to die. nevertheless just. Gen. Hooker is to lead v* this summer ; be is all we can ask for if the government will support h'tm. His army numbers nearly one hundred and fifty thousand, the greater part comprised of old troops. I was war all over when the rebellion first broke out. I am all war yet, and mean to be as long as rebeldom is in existence. I am not eager for a fight, but when called to hattle I shall never lie found wanting. The charm and excitement of the terrible uproar " : 45 In the business quarter, the stores and offices although still bearing the sign-bonrds of their former occupants, are used by quartermasters and commissaries connected with the army, or by regimental sutlers and civilians who come from the North to trade. ! Army chaplains preach in the Churches to audiences composed almost entirely of officers and soldiers. Instead of being governed by tbe systematic administration of civil authorities, the city is ruled by the stern and capricious hand of martial law. At every principal street corner, an armed sentry watches you narrowly as you go by, and, if it be at night, peremptorily demands evidence of your right to pass. The city is still not with the quiet of repose, but with the hush of fear. A conquered city is a strange, sad place. Newbern is very well adapted to the purposes of a military post. It can be easily defended. Occupying, as I said before, a triangular peninsula, approach to it on two sides must be made by water. As the rebels in this region have no gunboats that can cope with ours, we feel secure from attack from this direction. On the land side, the roads entering the city run through thick woods, in which trees havebeen so felled as to make it impossible for an enemy to move artillery through them in order to plant batteries and shell the city. Between these woods and Camp of the Fifth Reg., Mass. Vol. Militia, the city is a clearing of perhaps a mile in Near Newberu, North Carolina, > width. Upon this clearing the enemy must Filiruary 18,1863.

Samuel Morley, Esq., a noble Congregationalist of London, has offered to make himself personally responsible for the payment of all arrearages which may consequently arise in the salaries of Congregational pastors in that district. But to the still greater honor of those Congregational Churches, says the Editor of the Co?igregationalist, they demur to the acceptance of the proposition, at least till their own resources have been wholly drained. HarLd uck.—It is a curious dispensation, and one productive of mental comment, that some one either in property or person meets with a continued series of disaster or misfortune, while another, not a whit ioore deserving, and to all mortal ken not bo much so as his less fortunate brother, wins tbe strumpet Fortune at a single venture. The arrival of the Chilian ship Jtsui Ramos (pronounced, according to a newspaper authority, iah sons,) in our harbor, 108 days from Port Angetos, has caused this train of reflection, and having been permitted to look at her log, we have gathered from it and other Bources the following particulars : The Jeaua ilamot, Capt. Pedro Rossi, left Port Angelos, W. T., laden wiih lumber on owner*' account fur Valparaiso the 224 ol January. On the day of departure, had strong winds from the southward, which continual, with ruin and snow until the 2oth, when it increased to a Kale, causing them to lay-to for 14 h'luri. After moderating, the gale renewed its violence, and tliey were lorced to luy tv some days, ami obliged to work the pumps every hour. After this, they had moderate weather, without any extraordinary occurrence, until the 19ti> February, in lat. 10 » 49 N., long. HI ° 43 W., going free withallaall act, they discovered that the foremast was entirely gone, or broken twelve feetbelow the top. This they fishedund secured as well us they could, but soou found she would not sail as before, on account of the heavy apart ripped to the mast as supporters. Three days after filling away, they arrived at lat. 6= 33 N., lon*. 110° 17 \V\, where they met with calms and variable wind*. Here they lay fifty days, rolling backwards and forwards, constantly hoping for a change in the wind, hut the calms kept tluin nearly in the same spot. The sails and gear were all in pieces, owing to the rains, srmn.ll* and heavy rolling of tlie ship. On the Bth April, lat. 4° 62 N., long. 122° 82 W., the uiizenmast was found to he sprung, and it was decided to make the nearest port, which was judged to be the Sandwich Islands. They arrived here on Sunday. Misfortune seemed to attend them even to th- very threshold of their port. When off Kitilua, Hawaii, at a distance of 12 miles, being greatly fn want of provisions, in fact in almost a stoning condition, having on board but three barrels ofsalt provisions, \\ hags bread, 16 lbs. flour,and all else In like proportion, Capt. Boast sent the 2d mate and four men ashore for fresh provisions or anything else they could purchase in the way of recruits. Here they lay in light of the place for three days, near enough to see the houses on shore, and the boat not making her appearance, and not being able to get any nearer on account of the calm In shore, and so greatly reduce 1, the Captain made for this as the nearest port. We shall probably get some intelligence of the boftt'e crew on the arrival of the Kilauea on Saturday. The vessel advertises for $6,600, secured by bottomry. The owners arc Messrs. 8.
