This number closes another volume of The Friend. To all who have aided in the publication of our little sheet, wo return our sincere thanks. Those who have read our paces, but in no way contributed to its publication, we hope have been incited to forward a good enterprise in some other way. For some reason we have not received from our sea-faring friends the usual amount in the way of donations. Why is this ? Surely, during the 'year past, you have received the paper as cordially, but yet where are your donations ? Many thousands of copies we have distributed gratuitously. We have distributed, gratis, what has cost us two hundred dollars, and yet in the way of donations we have received less than one hundred during the year 1865. Will not masters, officers, and seamen, who have been so successful during the year past, remember The Friend and the Bethel before going to sea ? We hope this suggestion will be sufficient to enable us to close up the year without a debt, but with even a surplus in our hands. We should be glad to report a thousand dollars in hand, as a reward for editing and conducting our little •heet for the past quarter of a century We art- daily meeting the natives of other groups of islands in the Pacific.

Here they partook of a sumptuous dinner, prepared by Mr. Kehew, and, after doing their whole duty to the same, they sang the " Star-spangled Banner," and other patriotic cheerine; the President, the Union, and everybody else in general. There were in all the ships' companies 120. Not a case of sickness occurred with us while on the Island. For a long time we watched and listened for the cry of to no purpose, until the 15th " Sail ho!" but September, when we were made glad by the arrival of the good ship Kamehameha, Capt. Cunningham, who had come to our assistance. Capt. Cunningham gave us all the news concerning friends at home, the war, peace, assassination, &c. We were then invited to the cabin, where a nice supper was prepared. Here Mr. Sturges offered thanks to the Creator of us all for his kind protection and the deliverance of our beloved country from civil war and strife. After supper, we repaired to the quarter deck, where we sang "John Brown" and cheered the Old Flag, and adjourned to our respective abodes to await the saijing of the ship. The next week the Morning Star arrived, bringing Mr. and Mrs. Doane, to the great delight of Mr. and Mrs. Sturges. On the 27th of September, Capt. Cunningham having provided such recruits as were requisite, we set sail for Honolulu, bidding: adieu to Ponape and all our kind friends. Capt. Cunningham was untiring in Ins endeavors to make our passage pleasant and agreeable. We are much indebted to him for his unlimited generosity, and we also tender our thanks to his officers and rrew for their many acts of kindness. Yours, Nathan S. Gardiner. GCT" The three packets forming the Hawaiian Packet Line, viz, the Smyrnwtr. Onward and D. C. Murray, are fine and substantial vessels, admirably suited to the California trade at the present stage of development, but very soon larger vessels will be required. They run with great regularity and dispatch, and are full freighted both ways. The Onwards cabin has been recently refitted and enlarged. For comfort and convenience it is unsurpassed. It is very seldom that we hear any complaint respecting the management of any of the vessels on either line running berween Honolulu and San Francisco. The masters of all these vessels are experienced and able commanders, enjoying the confidence of the traveling and shipping community. �IS6 111 h I•K I E M>. DECEMBER, on sight and then fled ?

B. Sprague, Y. I). Eight octavo volumes of this work have already been published, by Carter & Co., of New York, as follows Trinitarian Congregational, Vols. I and 11. Presbyterian, Vols. 11l and IV. Episcopalian, Vol. Y. Baptist, Vol. VI. Methodist, Vol. VII. Unitarian, Vol. VIII. Seven of these volumes now lie before us, the eighth not having been receivod, but we have seen it announced in the American papers. It is exceedingly pleasant to possess a sort of historico-photographic view of the clergy of the various denominations of America. Here we have it in convenient size and shape. Il is decidedly the best clerical album of American divines we ever : saw. We have thought how delightful it would l« to obtain a leave of absence for two or three years, and visit America, traveling at our leisure from city to city, town to town, parish to parish, hear the different ministers, and sit down with them in their cozy sanctums and talk about their parishes and the history of their Churches. Life is too short and work too pressing to undertake an enterprise of that nature; hence we thank the Key. Dr. Sprague, of Albany, N. Y„ for preparing these accurately-written volumes. They are full of choice reading, and contain an amount of historical research truly wonderful. Very great accuracy is apparent upon every page, and particularly in the notes at the foot of almost every page. We are exceedingly glud to learn from th« various notices of the work in the denominational newspapers of the country, that Dr. Sprague has, in a most wonderful manner, treated the numerous subjects and characters with historical accuracy, and yet without offending the prejudices of the various denominations. This fact is the more remarkable inasmuch as he belongs to the Old School Presbyterian body. He has manifested an eminently catholic and appreciative spirit in writing historical and bio, graphical sketches of men and denominations differing widely from that branch of the " Church Universal" to which he belongs. We began to peruse the work several years ago, and are glad to say that it has increased in interest as the successive volumes have made their appearance. We close our notice of this work by adding that a parishioner could not peosent his Pastor with a more acceptable New Year's or Christmas present than Dr. Sprague's Annals of the American Pulpit. The seven volumes cost twenty-five dollars in New York. In Volume II we find a biographical sketch of the late Rev. W. Richards, H. H. Majesty's Minister of Public Instruction, who die.d in Honolulu, Dec. 7th, 1847. �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1865. 92 THE FRIEND. DECEMBER I. 1885. Visit of an American Man-of-War ed in Micronesia. Need- We think the time has fully come when the United States Government should send a vessel of war on a cruise among the islands of Micronesia. It is more than a quarter of a century since a vessel belonging to the U. S. Exploring Expedition, under Lieut. Wilkes, cruised among the Gilbert or Kingsmill Islands, and forty years since the Dolphin visited the Marshall Islands. We are not aware that any other U. S. Naval vessels ever visited those groups of Islands. Our whaleships, by the score, have frequented the ports of Ascension, and touched at other islands in Micronesia, and the Morning Star makes an annual cruise throngh the Marshall, Gilbert and Caroline Islands, yet our naval vessels have kept at a most respectful distance, as did a certain one sent to survey the guano islands. The civil war is over, and the vessels belonging to the navy released from blockading duty j hence we think the Navy Department should dispatch a gunboat to cruise in those waters, under the command ol an experienced and judicious commander, who will faithfully represent a great, free and Christian nation, which is ready to protect its citizens and seamen in the most remote parts of the world. We could name at least a dozen islands which should be visited. The crews of several merchant vessels have been cut off in those seas. It is our firm belief that the first U. S. Commissioner at the Hawaiian Islands, George Brown, Esq., was murdered at the Marshall Islands, in 1546, when he was on his passage to China. Very many are the reasons we could assign why one of our vessels of war should cruise through that part of the Pacific. Commerce, trade and humanity demand it. Again we say, let the Commander be the right sort of a man. Send no "Mad Jack," (navy officers know to whom we refer,) or anti-Missionary Commander, but a man of the stamp of Admiral Dv Pont. It is worthy of the consideration of the Navy Department, whether the time has not fully come for a surveying ship to cruise among all those islands and along the innumerable reefs of the Pacific. The Dollar Bill in the Sailor's Bible. How little sailors realize the anxieties of parents and friends in their lichalf. Said to us a few days since: Capt. "When 1 was a sailor, my mother put a Bible for my reading in the bottom of my chest, and between the leaves she placed a dollar bill; and I am ashamed to say she found the bill there on my return home." He added, " I never felt so guilty in all my life." We hope all the sailors reading this will search their Bibles, and if they do not find bank bills they will find something much more valuable. " Search the Scriptures," and ye may find eternal life. Earthquake in San Francisco.-The late earthquake was a much more serious affair than we were led to believe from the earliest reports in the San Francisco papers. We have conversed with persons who were there and experienced the shock ! There were several shocks. Much injury has resulted to many of the buildings—glass was broken—walls cracked—chimneys fell—the foundations gave way—and there was a general " shake." It has been estimated that two millions would not cover the damage. Property holders will experience the greatest loss. "A Bird in Hand Worth Two in the Bush."—-In our last issue we advertised a lost canary, but the little creature, weary, faint, hungry, partially robbed of its plumage, sought shelter in the dwelling of a friend, and the lady of the house took it in her hand. Since its return, most charming music has it discoursed. The Hindoo oays, "An abode without birds is like food without seasoning." We have so few birds at the Islands, except on the mountain;,, that a sweet singing canary is a moat agreeable companion, and while we are penning these lines ours is singing most charmingly. — Rear-Admiral S. F. Du Pont. Some one has kindly sent us a copy of a pamphlet entitled " Sketch of the Public Services of Rear-Admiral S. F. Dv Pont, United States Navy." We have read notices of the death of this highly-distinguished and meritorious officer. His fame is worldwide, and deservedly so. His services at Hilton Head, Beaufort, Charleston, and other places are well known. His services in the Pacific during the Mexican war are still fresh in the memory of many. We can well remember his visit to the Islands as Captain in command of the frigate Congress. We have not forgotten the kind attentions which we received from him on that occasion. He has ever kept up a friendly correspondence with the Rev. Mr. Coan, of Hilo. While he was in every respect the very beau ideal of a naval officer, in discipline, bravery and gallantry, yet he was not ashamed, in all places and on all occasions, to be known as an humble and firm disciple of the Saviour of the world. He belonged to a class of warriors embracing a Vicars, a Havelock, a Foote, and many others, who combine the noblest patriotism with the most sincere and ardent piety. We quote with pleasure the following p'.ragraphs from an address at his funeral, by Bishop Lee, of Delaware, at Wilmington, June 25, 1865: The Church of Christ mourns to-day for a faithful, earnest and consistent member. Admiral Dv Pont was in truth and sincerity a Christian man. In the strength of his manhood, amid the smiles and promises of the world, with much around hiio to inspire pride, and to draw away his thoughts from things unseen, he bowed with humility at the foot of the Cross. With all the energies of his large soul, and with all the affec tions of his generous heart, he responded to the mercy of his redemption by the Son of God. The consecration which he made of himself to his Savior was hearty and unreserved. He thus judged " That if One died for all, then were all dead—and that He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him which died for them and rose again." After embracing the promises of the Gospel, he was outspoken and manly in his Christian course. Under all circumstances, he was willing to be known and recognized as a follower of Christ. On the deck of his vessel he would kneel down among his officers and crew to seek the Divine protection before going into danger, and to render thanks to : Books and Pamphlets for Seamen. We would gratefully acknowledge valuable contributions for gratuitous distribution, from Mr. Monserrat, Dr. Wood, Judge Andrews, Dr. J. M. Smith, T. H. Marshall, Esq. and Mrs. Judd. Such donations are always acceptable. Seamen are delighted with illustrated papers. Anyofourfriendshavingbooks, papers, or pamphlets which they have read, and are willing to donate to seamen, we shall be glad to receive them.

His well-known interest in this work led to his election to the dignified position of President of the American Church Missionary Society. It is too often the case that in the characters of the illustrious, and even of the good, there is some defect, blemish, or drawback, that detracts greatly from their influence, and mortifies their friends and admirers. The character of Admiral Dv Pont was remarkably symmetrical and complete. Whether we regard him as an officer, a citizen, a friend, or a Christian, look at him on whatever side we may, weigh him in whatever balance we choose,-we find nothing to lament.

By the President of the United States Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, during the year which is now coming to an end, to relieve our beloved land from.the fearful scourge of civil war, and to permit and secure the blessings of peace, unity and harmony, with a great enlargement of civil liberty ; and whereas, our Heavenly Father has also during the year graciously averted from us the calamities of foreign war, pestilence and famine, while our granaries are full of the fruits of a successful season ; and whereas, righteousness exalts a nation, while sin is a reproach to any people ; now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hereby recommend to the people thereof that they do set apart and observe the first Thursday of December as a day of national thanksgiving to the Creator of the Universe f/>r these deliverancesand blessings ; and I do further recommend that the whole people make confession of our national sins against His infinite goodness, and with one heart and one mind implore the Divine guidance in the, ways of national virtueand holi- ruerey Contend : O. smile, and heal the strife.

Mr. Arbousset, French Protestant Pastor of the Island of Tahiti, is now in this city, endeavoring to interest our people in the important Missionary labors which have been so successfully prosecuted in that Island. The Missions to the South Sea Islands were commenced in 1797, the first movement in England in behalf of the heathen world. After long-continued, self-denying labor, the whole group were nominally converted to Christianity. In 1836, two Roman Catholic Missionaries went there to propagate their faith, and were expelled by the Government. The interference of the French in opposition to the local Government, and the establishment of the Jesuits by force, to the great injury of Missions, is well remembered, but the French Government has since happilychanged its policy toward this people. In 1860, the National Assembly of the Islands sent to France for two Protestant Missionaries, and now the Government is restoring to the Protestants the charge of the schools which were wrested from them and given to the Jesuits. Queen Pomare and nearly all the people still adhere to the faith of the I Do Not Like to Hear Him Pray.

" " �TBE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1 8t S 94 Rev. E. T. Doane.—On the return of this tried Missionary to Micronesia, he has become associated with Rev. Mr. Sturges, at We congratulate Ponape, or Ascension. Mr. Sturges on having received so valuable an associate. It was due to the cause of Missions and* propriety required that he should not labor any longer solitary and alone on the large island of Ponape. From accounts published in another column of our paper—from various sources, seamen as well as Missionaries—we learn that Christianity has been firmly established among the inhabitants of Ponape. Long has been the " night of toil." At one time all the Missionaries were virtually recalled from that Island by the Board, but Mr. Sturges resolved to remain and labor without support, for leave he would not. He commenced his labors on Ponape in 1852, and has never left the Island since, except for a few days. Mrs. Sturges visited Honolulu in 1861, but returned in 1862. seamen, whether they contribute or not. But hove not many come to consider that having received the Friend for so many years without paying for it, therefore they are not under any obligations to pay for its support ? The present will he a good season for any to pay off " old scores," who, like the crew of the Saranac, feel inclined to make a "freewill offering." Boston Lawyer and Yankee Mate. . Missionary Wanted.—On the return of Rev. E.T. Doane to Micronesia, he touched at Mille, one of tbe Marshall Islands, where no Missionary has ever been stationed. Ho thus writes : "We reached Mille after a run of sixteen days, entered its lagoon, and staid there nearly three days. 1 saw the ruling Chief, a very kind-hearted man. I proposed to him the propriety of having a He readily assented, and Missionary. promised to take good care of one. Cannot the Hawaiian Board now strike for that Island, ere it is closed against them ?" It was at this Island that the crew of the whaleship Globe touched when Capt. Worth was murdered, in 1824 or 5. Here a part of the crew were left, and the remainder navigated the vessel to the American coast. Capt. Percival, in the U. S. schooner Dolphin, was sent to bring off those left upon the Island. His return visit to Honolulu is a part ofHawaiian history. Kufus Choate, the great Boston lawyer, in an important assault and battery case, at sea, had Dick Barton, chief mate of the clipper ship Challenge, on the stand, and badgered him so for about an hour that Dick got his saltwater up, and hauled by the wind to bring the keen Boston lawyer under his batteries.

Died, in Honolulu, on Sabbath evening, Nov. 20, at half past nine o'clock, Miss Lydu Bkown, for thirty years a member of the American Mission tr> the Hawaiian Istiinds, aged 85 year:* and 8 month?. She had resided on the Inland* thirty year;, having arrived here in June, 18.15. Though she had long been feeble, and wna not expected to live long, yet the immediate cause ot her death was a very so vere burn, received on the same evening, and about two hour* previous to her death, the lady with whom she boardedsuggested that she would leave a light in her room, as she was so feeble, but Mis* Brown wild she had the means at band to strike a light in c«*e shertquired one, and preferred that none should bo left. The lady retiring to her chamber, was aroused by a cry for help about half past seven o'clock, but Itefore sh»* and a near neighbor could reach the feeble sufferer, she was burued beyond the power of relier. The match with which she had attempted to strike a light had evidently set fire first to her left sleeve, from which the flames had spread rapidly to her body. She survived two hours, in possession of her faculties, and not apparently a great sufferer, after she was discovered. Though no medical aid could save her life, yet the try for help was just in season to save the house from conflagration. Miss Drown was bom in New Hampshire. Her father wag a physician, and the late Dr. Brown, who, at the head of an Institution In Boston for the cure of club feet and other similar infirmities, has earned quite a reputation by his success, was a cousin. For many yearsshe wasdevoted to teaching Hawaiian girls both letters and the duties of domestic life. Her attachment to her native country was unwavering. She rejoiced that she was permitted to live to sec the overthrow of the great rebellion and the suppression of thearmed treason which threatthe overthrowof the United States Government. In the language of her pastor, in Ids remarks at her funeral, Two characterises predominated above all others. One was loyalty to her country and the other an earnest solicitude for the progress and triumph of her Saviour's cause." Though long past the period of active service,and subject to pain and weariness,yet she was a i rcat reader, and kept herself fully posted in regard to current events. She rejoiced In every success cf theUnion armies, and that she was permitted to see their final triumph; and she rejoiced still more In every Indication ofprogress In the advance of the Missionary work, and her full belief of its ultimate universal success. Her own hopes rested upon her Saviour. To the writer she said, a few days before thesad catastrophe, My only hope Is In Jesus;" and to a sister she repeated, with earnestness, A wretched, weakand helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall. Be thou my strength and righteousness, My Saviour and my all." Though called away in so distressing a manner, stltl the event was mingled with mercy. After the fire was extinguished, she seemed to suffer very little, aud when the physician announced that she was dying, she calmly responded, M I think 1 am." She received every possible aid during the brief period which elapsed between the occurrence of the accident and ber death which thekindness of her entertainerand sympathizing neighbors could bestow, and, couldshe speak her thanks, they would be hearty and sincere. 8.
