We hear the rumor that strenuous efforts will be made at the coining meeting of the Hawaiian Legislature to repeal the present liquor-law, and also to allow distillation. The native is going, dying—there are now two deaths to one birth, and we think that should the advocates of liquor and lucre succeed in their injurious schemes, then we may exclaim in the language of the auctioneers, "gone." We cannot believe that the representatives of the nation will be so mad upon the ruin of this people as to open the flood-gates. We hear planters crying out that laborers are wanted, and philanthropists mourning over the rapid extinction of the Hawaiians, and now to suppose the representatives of this people will set another and still another agent to work out this people's extinctionappears perfectly preposterous. Nobly have the native law-makers of this nation resisted the tide of intemperance that was setting over this land. We should suppose that every sensible person when he witnesses the evils of intemperance among foreigners and the chiefs of the islands, would do every thing in his power to keep the common people from plunging into the sea of intemperance. But we hear the reply—the planters need the profits accruing from rummaking. But is any one so verdant aa to suppose that those very planters will not suffer when their laborers are allowed the free use of intoxicating liquors ? We know of planters now suffering on that very account! But the evils to the land resulting from the proposed changes, would be too wide spread and ruinous for us to describe in a full sheet of our paper, and hence, with this brief allusion to this important subject, we would say, " better let well enough alone" and " make hnste slowly." 25 IteibSttits, »oL2I.

Mt Fabm or Eimikwoon : A Country Book —By the Antbor ot Reveries of a Bachelor" and "Dream Life." New York Charles Soribner. 1808. " : Any person having read this writer's former works will be interested to take a peep at this. It is worthy of perusal as it presents vivid pictures of farm-life in New England. Portions of the book have appeared in the " Atlantic Magazine." The book is dedicated to Gen. Williams, whose address we publish in another part of our column*. In the dedication the writer (who is well known as Mr. Mitchell of New Haven, son of a former minister of Norwich, Ct.,) thus alludes to Gen. Williams: " In grateful recognition of his many kindnesses, dating from the time he aided me in my first care of a New England farm, and in token of my respect for his worth." We take the liberty here to remark, that Oahu College," and " Ike Marvel" are not " the only objects to which Gen. Williams has seen fit to extend a friendly and sympathizing hand, calling for grateful recognition; we feel ourselves to be his debtor, and should we ever aspire to the honors of authorship, there is no person to whom we should feel more inclined to dedicate our books. But to return to the work the title of which stands at the head of these paragraphs, we must add that there is just one line and one allusion, in this book, with which we are dispersed to find fault On �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 18 6 4. page 77, the writer remarks, " The American eagle is (or was) a fine bird." This slur on the American eagle is unworthy of a place in this or any other book written by a man living in the loyal States. As if the American eagle was not now as fine a bird as he was before a band of traitors and conspirators undertook to cut offhis head. We know not how loyal Americans in New England regard slurs cast upon the American eagle, but loyal Americans abroad feel exceedingly sensitive upon this point, and we are fully confione dent the time is not far distant when from forth come great and noble people will this terrible conflict, chastened but not divided—free, great, and self-reliant, and ready to echo back the sentiment of James Otis of revolutionary memory, "We call no man master." It is seldom a book contains so few exceptionable and objectionable points. There is scarcely another line or word which we should wish altered. The writer has manifested great refinement and discernment in the introduction and treatment of topics which most writers would have utterly failed to treat upon in a literary style. There is a certain species of delicate and exquisite execution in many pages of the book, which place the writer among the very first of the literary men of the age. The off-hand allusions to scientific works, and the reference to classic writers of Greece and Rome, indicate that the writer has not confined his reading to the light literature of the age. Death of the Rev. T.Starr King. All the California papers come to us draped for the death of this distinguished orator, patriot, and divine, who died March 4th, of diptheria, in the city of San Francisco. Every civic, religious and masonic honor was paid to his remains, which sympathy, esteem, and gratitude could suggest. A telegram from Washington ordered minute guns to be fired from the forts. His services and eloquence have contributed, in an important sense, to sustain the Union cause on this side of the Rocky Mountains. We hope the echo of his eloquent and patriotic appeals will not cease to reverberate among the hills and canons of the Pacific slope, until all murmurs of discontent and hissings of secession shall cease from among the people.

''fa&lmptoVmm, af D|osa«*'«*,) ThGerEUtIamfnioglrihraetodmSn tates. Soma yerfrsago a West Indiaman had discharged jts cargo in one of our docks at home. The «»P vfhs plagued by rats as ' was plagued. Their devastations, q»ref ship their odor, their destructions had noise, their teen beydnd mortal endurance, but there was no remedy. The captain who was still on board, was waked at midnight, by his mate, and asked to step on deck as quietly as he ' could. A fruit ship had arrived in the course of thevday from the Mediterranean, and coming alongside had passed a hawser to the West.lndiamnn. "Look there!" whispered the mate pointing to the rope, which in the darkness seemed to be moving slowly toward the fruit ship. It was alive with rats, which in a continuous stream were migrating from the empty ship to the stranger, whose fragrance told the tale of delicious freight. Before sunrise there was not a rat left on board tha West Indiaman. How it fared with tbejrtranger it is needless to say. That is the very spectacle we are now witnessing on a world-wide scale. The hawser is across the Atlantic, and in one incessant, endless train, hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens are passing to a richer continent. Its fragrance comes in letters, full of good tidings, and containing often the substantial earnest of golden promises in the shape of notes or orders for pleasant round sums. Could we take the same view of human affairs that the skipper and mate did of their little world, we would tread softly, and think the less said the better. But we cannot quite do that. Itis part of our erew that is leaving us in this strange and multitudious fashion. They are passing generally to another allegiance, to other laws, to other institutions, to rival interests, to a jealous policy, and, as they think, to assist in founding an empire far above even our heads. But as they are consulting their own material interests, and certainly sparing us some trouble, they are welcome to go where they please, and to marry a better soil than that from which they have been divorced. We are disposed to take a philosophical view of the movement, and are glad to find that for once we may be both scientific and kind. The man who suddenly reappears in an Irish cabin with his pockets full of notes and gold, dishandsome presents, sleek, comely I wen dressed, asking the girl of his earchoice to share his new home, is a vision it conquers all our sentimental scruples, it appears he has done the remaining paotism of Ireland. Every such man is a ilumbus in Connaught. There is no reiting him. The odds are tremendous ainst Queen Victoria and tenpence a day, e Established Church' and potatoes, the nion Workhouse and yellow meal—even pposing we can always answer for our side • Iuting Decrease at Romanists States. tbe Catholic Herald, published in Philadelphia, contains an editorial, calling upon Roman Catholics to forsake the " common schools," and patronize exclusively the " parochial schools" of the church. Of the common schools it says, "The holy Father fears them. The bishops fear them. The Church has lost—irretrievably lost, tens of thousands of children by them." It concludes the article with the following; appeal, betraying fear and despondency. What is to be done? How long will this" shame and scandal be suffered to continue ? Will it go on unchecked in the future, as it has gone on in the past ? Irish Catholics, ye in the main—for in the main ye compose the Church—are at fault! What has come over ye ? Where is the resplendent Catholic spirit that distinguished ye in Ireland ? In that country, ye would have suffered ten thousand martyrdoms rather than collude with the enemiesof the faith. But in America that loftiness nf heart expires, and your oivn sons and daughters degenerate from St. Patrick and St. Bridget. Have ye forgotten that the most glorious ornament in the crown of old Ireland, is its supernatural firmness to the faith, in spite of the dreadful sanguinary despotism of England for three hundred years ? Are the Protestant schools there frequented by Catholic children? Go into St. John's church: who occupy its pews ? Not the descendants of the Irish people who built it. The same thing is true of St. Mary's, of St. Augustine's, of every old Catholic church in the city—nay of every old Catholic church in the land. In the great main, it is new emigrants that keep up the Church in America. Why is this ? Where are the children of the early emigrants—of the builders of the churches ! They are lost to Rome! It is a fair calculation, that if the Irish Catholics who have come to Philadelphia during the last eighty years, had preserved in their own hearts, and instilled into the hearts of their children, the sublime Christianity that marked them at home, Philadelphia would have, to-day, twenty-five Catholic churches more than it has. Twenty-five churches—that is, a hundred thousand of Irish descent—lost to the Church in a single city, in so short a space of time as fourscore years! Well might the illustrious Archbishop Lennox, sorrowfully exclaim, that the Church in America has lost more than it has gained." the comparison. O" Gen. Grant, when rallied recently about the persistent use of his name by the New York Herald for the Presidency, said: I aspire only to one political office. When "the war is over I mean to run for Mayor of Galena (his place of residence.) And if eleetkd, I intend to have, the side-walk fixed up between my house and the depot." in the United ' of Punch, after its establishment in 1841, his wit and power of scathing sarcasm had full play! Some years later, " Vanity Fair," his first successful novel, was produced, and this was followed by "Pendennis." which, like the former, was published as a serial and was concluded in the year 1850. His success as a lecturer mid his latter works are of such recent date that itis hardly worth while to speak of them at length, here. He made two visits to the United States, and was cordially received. Boy Choristers.—It may seem a pleasant thing for a boy to get employment as a chorister in a church or cathedral, but according to some real testimony of a canon of Carlisle, England, given before a committee of the House of Commons, the lads whose duty it is to do the singing are afforded hut little time for education. They are in church or practicing for three or four hours every day in the week, and get small pay—in some cases, no pay at all, only board and lodging. In Carlisle there is a nominal provision for the education of the chorister-boys at the Cathedral grammar school, but the schoolhouse conflict with those of the cathedral, and the official return is that they receive "a scrambling education." The number of these boys employed in each cathedral in England vary from ten to sixteen. The evils of their condition form one branch of the subject now engaging the attention of church reformers in England. Ma. Sumner's Speech.—The London Star publishes a very full sketch of the speech of Senator Sumner on our " Foreign Relations," and has a long editorial on the subject. The Star says : " The Hon. Charles Sumner has not belied the confidence inspired by a long and illustrious career. He is as firmly as ever the friend of peace between Great Britain and America. His speech at New York on the 10th September, is indeed heavy with charges against France and England. But it is an appeal for justice, not an incentive to strife. It is a complaint of hopes disappointed, of friendship withheld ; of errors adopted and obstinately maintained. It is, however, an argument which does honor even to those against whom it is urged, and which aims to establish future relations of the closest alliance. Senator Sumner's chief reproach is this—that we have acted unworthily of ourselves ; unfaithful to our deepest Thackeray.—In the death of William convictions and best memories.
