NOVEMBER 4, 1864. Attention, Friends of the Union Soldiers. The American Ladies in Honolulu, propose, on the Bth, (next Tuesday evening,) to give a Festival and Fair for the benant of the United States Christian Commission. About one million of dollars has already been freely contributed by the loyal people of the United States for this object. There is still a loud appeal for additional funds. It is not the privilege of Americans in Honolulu, and American shipmasters and sailors visiting Honolulu, to fight the battles of their country, but we can and ought to evince our interest in the cause of the Union and Liberty, by generously contributing for the comfort and welfare of the noble soldiers, bravely fighting in the ranks of the Union Army. The men sick and wounded, are compelled to seek temporary homes in hopitals. Let us come forward and generously aid those soldiers, liberally furnish them with every possible physical, social and spiritual comfort. Let every one claiming the proud and honorable name of American, come forward and show that his heart and purse is devoted to this work. In former years, the Sanitary Commission has received generous contributions, —let itbe remembered > that this object is of a kindred nature and equally important. In many respects it it perfectly identical. Most nobly are Americans at home now showing that they are Our Harbor now Resembles the " Olden Times."—The large number of whaleships, in port, makes our harbor present the appearance of '43—'49—'52—'s(Qand those years when Honolulu was known as the whaling port of the Pacific. In our visits among the shipping, we see there has been a great change in the character ofthe crews. Formerly there was a majority of American and European seamen, while now, the crews are largely made up of Hawaiians, and other Polynesians. Not a few are from Guam. Portuguese seamen still abound. It is rare indeed, to meet with a full crew of Americans. It is not always that the officers are all Americans. The war and the demand for labor, have drawn away a large proportion of American seamen. Rev. James P. Ludlow.—Many of the old residents in Honolulu, will remember a young man by the name of Ludlow, who visited this part ofthe world with Capt. Fales. We are happy to learn that after retiring from the sea, he commenced a course of study preparatory to the Christian ministry, and is now preaching in one of the Baptist Churches of San Francisco. We retain a a youth, when most vivid recollection of him, ardent and the and most heartily rejoice that have not been friends high hopes of his disappointed.

Recent news from the United States make* known, that the state-elections go in favor of Abraham Lincoln, for the next President. This is as it should be. The rebellion must and will be put down—liberty must be proclaimed throughout the land. The great question will be decided on the Bth of November, the day of the election, whether the American people desire Union and Liberty, without slavery, or Union and Slavery. The question is to be fairly put. The people understand it, and we have no fears but they will decide right. We are not afraid of the people and universal suffrage. That Abraham Lincoln is the man for President, instead of General McClellan, we infer from the fact that the Richmond papers, London Times, and similar sheets all gofor McClellan ! The Union and Loyal people of America know what they are about! Mr. and Mrs. Brewster.—lt is a matter of much regret to many, that Mr. and Mrs. Brewster, should not have returned at the time they contemplated. Instead of teaching in Honolulu, we learn that they have sailed for Europe, and expect to make the tour of the Continent, spending some portion ofthe winter months in Florence. Their return is deferred until Spring. It is gratifying that in their absence, other schools afford good facilities for our children and youth. Mrs. and Miss Smith's school, in the valley, Miss Armstrong's, under Fort Street Church, and others, are in successful operation. The advantages at " Oahu College " are now of a superior order, and an able corps of teachers is most efficiently pushing or leading their pupils up the hill of science and along the flowery paths of literature.

Children may, will and should play, laugh, run, swim, when they go to the spot where the long heavy swells come rolling up the clean and sandy beach, but it is an admirable place for thought. Sir Isaac Newton, when congratulated on his vast discoveries, remarked ; " I am like a child gathering shells and pebbles round the sea-shore, that are just kissed by the waves, while the great unsounded depths of the mighty ocean lie unapproachable beyond me." Newton would never have drawn this reflection, unless he had often wandered along a sea-beach. The old Anglo-Danish King Canute was taught a good lesson, when with his courtiers he ordered his chair to be placed where the incoming tide soon made the whole party scamper like a group of frightened children. It was not man but God who had said, " Hitherto shalt thou come, and here shall thy proud waves be staid." When the poet Longfellow looks out upon the sea, his musings find expression in language peculiarly sweet and mellifluous: *' HI E S l>, NOVEMBER, 18(4. belief that they were innocent of the crime with which they were charged. An account of the visit of the Daidalus, and that of Vancouver, when he sought retribution, we copy from the recent work of Manley Hopkins, Hawaiian Consul-General in London : " On the 11th of May; in the year of Vancouver's first visit, an English store-ship, the Daedalus,' approached Oahu, and lay off 'Waimea, on the north side of the island. Its advent seems to have produced all the amazement that was excited by Cook's arrival at Hawaii in 1778.

We believe it is much the largest cluster of cocoanut trees on the Sandwich Islands. We never counted them, .(although we once tried,) but suppose there are two or three thousand. These however are diminishing in number. Seldom do we visit the spot without noticing that one or more have been prostrated.

The chiefs of the islands cleared themselves before him of any complicity in the crime; and three men had already been executed by their orders for participation in the murder. However, as Vancouver determined to bring the matter into the light of day, three more men were sent on board his ship and tried ; and after evidence which seemed satisfactory as to their guilt, sentence was passed on them, and they were handed over to their chiefs, by whom they were shot before a large concourse of people. It is true that it was afterwards affirmed that the three men who were thus killed were not the real murderers, and that they were sacrificed to appease the English captain's anger. If this were so, it is to be regretted that so good a man should have made so great a mistake; and that the execution which he ordered should have taken effect count thereof in the 2d volume of Vancou- on innocent victims.

No native of these islands has invested a single dollar in land acquired nnd held by me here; and I don't know of any that have invested "in lands held by any Mormon Church. There are no such lands in this kingdom. A few dollars have been given to me by natives, every one of which, and a large amount of my own means, have licen expended on their account.

Please to publish the above and oblige eign missionary work than I could be while in business in New York. I have thought that I might accomplish this more fully, even as a business man, which the conditions of my health may ever oblige me to be, by removing the place of my abode, and the sphere of my direct personal influence to some foreign field, and where, while still sustaining myself by the pursuit of some regular avocation, do all the good in my power in the community with which I should identify myself, not only by my example, but by as much direct missionary labor as possible, in the way of introducing the Scriptures and religious books, in Sabbath Schools and day schools, perhaps, in every way a Christian layman would seek to do good to his fellow men in New York or elswhere. I have one or two brothers, who will, it is not improbaple, join me in this work, giving themselves entirely to missionary labor, if I can assure them of the advantage of the field, which, in time, I am strongly persuaded I may do, of New Granada, if not of Venezue- la ; I am also in communication with several other young men in the States, irr college and seminary, who arc canvassing the South American field with a view ol devoting themselves ultimately to this work.

We would therefore, at the proper time, not decline assistance from private individuals, or from churches, who would take the matter up independently of any Board. COLLEGE! Caracas, March 26, 1864.

The stores are open on Sundays, and the market squares crowded with traffickers, more busy, noisy and gay than at any other time during the week; and, when the day is passed, crowding to the theater, to hear the most popular play of the week, reserved for this especial evening! Can these poor souls be reached ? It affects my heart strangely, to see these thronged churches, markets and streets, and to think, that in all this city there is not a soul to point out to them the " way of life," not a Protestant teacher or preacher, not a single place, not even an upper room, where a few could be called together for a purer worship. I never was in a place before, not even in the so recently heathen Sandwich Islands, where, if I desired it, I could not, some time during the week, find an assembly of Christians. The pall of Roman Catholicism shrouds this fair country in a terrible darkness. How dear to me now seem the Christian habits and devout worship of our beloved Hawaiinns ! A SABBATH SCHOOL AND SABBATH SERVICE. The first Sabbath that I was here I was unwell; so on the second Sabbath I held my first Sabbath school exercise in the office of Judge Culver, the U. S. Minister, who very kindly permits me the use of it for this purpose. My class was two bright little American girls, too young to read, with an outside attendance of three adult people, who helped in the singing, while 1 played on the flute. I read from the Bible, and talked from the text: Suffer little children, and forbid them " not to come unto me," and prayed. It was, to me a solemn and impressive exercise. My heart yearned all day for God's blessing on this my first public religious effort here, on the first Sabbath school class that had ever met in this city. Our numbers have since increased to eight, and we shall, without further delay, commence a more formal service, to which I hope some of the English and American adults of this place may be drawn. We are much incommoded for the want of a suitable room for this service, but are hoping soon to secure the use of a hall, used as a schoolroom during the week. Judge Culver is much interested in the development of this work, and actively exerts himself for its advancement. He claims it as his privilege, faithfully to recognize and represent the religious elements of the nation whose appointed minister he is to this Government.

It is the imperial quarto of the American Bible Society, bound in purple velvet with heavy gold mountings, appropriately engraved, and inclosed in a walnut case lined with white silk. The total cost of this elegant gift is §580 76. The inscription upon the presentation plate is as follows : To AaailUM I.IKCOLHPresident of the United Slates Tha Friend of I'niTersal Freedom, From The Loyal Colored People of Baltimore, Ala token of Respect and Oratltnde. Baltimore, 4th July 1864. Intrinsically valuable as this gift may be, it is of little account in comparison with the sentiment it represents or embodies. It will be properly appreciated by the great champion of emancipation ; it will take its appropriate place in the history of his efforts toward the accomplishment of the grand consummation in which Maryland has taken a leading part. It will form one of the best and proudest memorials it has ever fallen to the lot of any public man to transmit to posterity. The expression of " the respect and gratitude" of our colored citizens is highly creditable to them, and we are glad to chronicle so noteworthy an occurrence.—Baltimore American. Curious Story of a Photograph.—Whea the war first broke out a young man belonging in this city enlisted and carried to the field with him a photograph of his betrothed. He was taken prisoner and confined for a long period in the Libby prison at Richmond. While there one of the rebel officers on duty, happening to have seen the photograph, appropriated it and refused to return it to trie owner. The officer seemed infatuated with the likeness of the northern beauty ; and in order to have opportunity to talk about her, made himself the instrument of many kindnesses to the captive. At last the young soldier was exchanged and in due time joined his regiment. During a recent battle he was at the front, and seeing a rebel officer very prominently engaged in directing his command, the Massachusetts soldier leveled his piece and shot the rebel commander. Our men advanced at the same moment, and on passing the spot where the dead rebel lay the soldier recognized him as the officer who had appropriated his lady-love's photograph. The officer's pockets were searched and the missing picture found. The above is no romance, but a veritable incident among the many curious ones which crowd the history of this war.—Boston Journal. A Sailor in College.—The valedictorian Wesleyan University, Middletown, Ct., Jacob W. H. Ames, Newport, N. H., at eighteen years of age, was a sailor before the mast, not acquainted with much more than his letters. At twenty-four he has graduated at the head of his class, competing with twenty-three good scholars, all of whom, doubtless, have enjoyed the usual educational advantages. at �THE VKI E S I), NOVEMBER, 1864. 86 “Home.” SHwomet, Sad Fate of Genius.—How precious few people in the world know even the name of the author of " Sweet Home," though its melody has fallen upon the ear and rested on the tongue of the million. A writer from Washington, alluding to the lifa»of Payne, and its vicissitudes, says: As I sit in my garret here in Washington, watching the course of great men, and the destiny of party, I meet often with strange contradictions in this eventful life. The most remarkable was that of J. Howard Payne, author of " Sweet Home." I knew him personally. He occupied the rooms under me some time, and his conversation was so captivating that I often spent whole days in his apartment. He was an applicant for office at the time—consul to Tunis—from which he had been removed. What a sad thing it was to see the poet subjected to all the humiliations of office seeking. Of an evening we would walk along the streets. Once in a while we would see some family circle so happy, and forming so beautiful a group, that we would both stop and then pass silently on. On such occasions he would give a history of his wanderings—his trials, and all his cares incident to his sensitive nature and poverty. " How often," said he once, " I have been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, and London, or some other city, and heard persons singing, or on the hand organ playing Home," without a shilling to buy " Sweet meal, or a place to lay my head. the next The world has literally sung my song until every heart is familiar with its melody, yet, 1 have been a wanderer from my boyhood. My country has turned me ruthlessly from my office ; and in my old age I have to submit to humiliation for bread. Thus he would complain of his hopeless lot. His only wish was to die in a foreign land to be buried by strangejs, and sleep in obscurity. I met him one day looking unusually sad. Have you got your consulate ?" said I. " Yes, and leave in a week for Tunis ; I •' shall never return." The last expression was not a political feint. Far from it. Poor Payne! his wish was realized, he died at Tunis. Whether his remains have been brought to this country I know not. They should be, and if none others would do it, let the homeless throughout the world give a penny, for a monument to Payne. I knew him, and give my penny for an inscription like the following: Here lies J. Howard Payne, The Author of "Sweet Horned A wanderer in life *, he whose souks were sung in every tongue, and found an echo in every heart, never had a borne. He died lv a Foreign Land. removed hunger. But I discovered that certain other food of a different quality, such as grape sugar and fruit, would help the tired meat to assimilate, and thus remove hunger. Puddings and fruit tarts are not, therefore, simply flatteries of the palate, but digestive agents; provided, always, they are not themselves made of retielliously indigestible materials. The reviewer alludes to the fondness ofartisans for confectionery, and of patients just discharged from the hospital asking for " sweets" in preference to " good substantial food," as examples of a correct instinct. There is no doubt that in children, in whom the requirements of growth call for a rapid and efficient transformation of food into tissue, the demand for sweets is very imperious, and parents should understand that the jampot will diminish the butcher's bill and increase the amount of nutrition extracted from beef and mutton. A London Merchant’s Care for his clerks. By Rev. H. W. Beecher. pose they had less esprit dc corps ? Do you suppose they were less valuable as clerks ? Do you suppose that they studied the interest of their employers less ? Now, I do not undertake to say that every man shall go and imitate these gentlemen; but I do say that every reflecting man ought to find in such an example some suggestions which should lead him to look about and see if there are not many things that he can do in the care of the young that are under him. An Hawaiian Family in the Woods. In the afternoon, while yet some distance from the town, we were caught in a heavy shower of rain, and put up for the night at some native houses on the roadside. Some of our party here saw native domesticity for the first time, in the country, and found it quite different from the article they had seen in Honolulu. The house in which we lodjfed was of thatch, but large and clean, and divided by cloth partitions into three rooms. The head of the family was a grayhaired native, who with his wife, a kind, motherly old soul, were anxious to make us as comfortable as their means would allow. They broiled us a chicken and made tea from their own stores, and from some hiding place the old woman lugged forth a mysteriously tied up bundle of white native cloth or tapa, from which, after much untying, the produced a knife, fork, and spoon, quite new, and with an air of pride she placed them before the " of foreigners." To be sure, there were three us, but natives in the country seldom use such articles, and she did the best she could. When we sat down to eat, the old man, unsolicited by us and somewhat to our surprise, spread out his hands and reverently asked a blessing. At night, the rest of the family came in from work, consisting of a stout young son and his wife and child, and a daughter of the old couple, apparently about 16. They were quiet, modestly behaved and clean, and as they sat round the table, while the old man, with specs on his nose, read from the big native Bible, it was a pleasant, home-like scene. Some of ojr party, who had been indoctrinated by the Honolulu scoffers into the belief that the missionaries had done no good among the Hawaiians, could but admire and respect this simple, well-ordered native family. After quite a lengthy prayer (in which, as our guide told us, * the strangers" were mentioned,) a hymn w;r very creditably sung to an old-fashioned tune, that carried us back to boyhood's days, among the hills of New England. We slept comfortably on clean, soft mats, and in the morning our inquiry as to the rlmrges for our lodging and entertainment was answered by a shake of the head. " Nothing, ' said the guide. But the leiki (baby) accepted a trifle, and we bid this family of country Hawaiians good-bye. Let us not be understood as giving the impression that such scenes are the rule among the natives ; but that they are to be met with, is true, and the missionaries, so often and generally so unjustly spoken against, should be credited with this occur- There ought, first, to be inculcated a higher sense of the responsibility of those who employ the young to watch for them and care for them. I am aware of the difficulties which are involved in this. 1 would not undertake to say to every employer, " You must take to your house, and have under your personal inspection, the conduct of every young man in your service." That would be pressing the matter unduly. Still, I may be permitted to say that we are not enough responsible for the welfare of those that are in our immediate employment. I think that one of the most interesting sights that I beheld in the city of London was Schoolbrad's great store. I was informed that four or five hundred men were engaged in the manufacturing and sales departments. I was taken kindly through every part of that establishment. There I found that the young men had their rooms under the roof where they did their work. I visited them. They were clean, and airy, and pleasant. They had a little locker with books, and other conveniences that madcthem seem attractive. All the young men had their meals in a diningroom under the same roof. I visited that. It was appetizing to go in there. I went through their kitchen and laundry—for their clothes are all washed in the building. I saw the kind hearted matron that plays the mother to these hundreds of young men. If they are sick, she nurses them ; and if they need counsel, she is at hand to give it to them. I went into the lecture-room. In it was a library. I glanced at the books, which had been wisely selected. I saw the seats and chairs in that room. There they are accustomed to invite gentlemen of science, gentlemen of learning, travelers, and historians, who are glad to give information to the young men. I went into their drill-room— for they have a military instruction. Firearms, and whatever other equipments are needed for the purpose, are furnished by the establishment. Such was the provision that had been made by their employers for these rence. young men. And do you suppose that they Proceeding slowly through more forests were worse young men because so much and brushwood, we emerged towards noon, pains were taken to enhance their comfort and found ourselves in sight of the town of Sugar as an Element of Nutrition.— Children and the lovers of sweetmeats will be under many obligations to Mr. Bridges Adams, who tells them that their taste for sugar is something more than a mere appetite. In a recent paper on the Uses of Sugar in Assisting Assimilation of food, he says : I know by experience the difference in nutritious effect produced by the flesh and tired cattle on a march and those slain in a condition arising from abundant food and healthy exercise. In a former case, any amount might be eaten without the satisfaction of hunger, while in the latter a small amount and elevate their condition ? Do you sup- Hilo.— Carres.
