Repaired.—We learn from a letter of Dr. ■"■a"""™" 1 Gulick's tljat at the late meeting of the Association of West Hawaii, it was decided to repair the church at Kailua at an expense of $2,000. This church was built in 1836, and dedicated February 4, 1837. From the little work, a " Missionary's Daughter," we learn that Governor Adams, alias Kuakini, labored most efficiently towards the building of this church. He bore the entire expense of the carpenters' and masons' work. He accompanied the people to the forests to cut timber. After the building was dedicated, he enacted a law to exclude dogs, and " after two months no woman will be allowed to enter it without a bonnet." He also appointed officers to wake up all sleepers! The old Governor would not allow a woman to come upon his premises bonnetless upon the pain of having her hair shorn close to her bead ! The formation of this Club is a most capital idea. Our only wonder is that it was not thought of long ago. By a private letter, we learn that Capt. C. Brewer is President. James Hunnewell Esq, Vice President, Messrs. Marshall, Pitman and Bond, Executive Committee; E. P. Bond, Esq, Secretary. By a late mail, we received the following Circular. The plan of opening a Register is exactly what is needed. We hope the suggestion to " the friends of the *Club at the islands" will be carried out. We believe the Club designs to keep on file at their Room," copies of all the newspapers pub"lished at the islands, and also to gather an Hawaiian Library. We shall refer to their Club again.

OR, The Collegian and the Newsboy. When I was at college 1 en turning to my room at a late hour one nigin, when I stgambled over something lying on the sidewalk. As I was just beginning my up junior year, and had consequently given the sophomoric idea that swearing was a mark of superior manhood, without so much as a blessing upon careless watchmen I bent down, and after a little examination, found that I had stumbled over one of the city newsboys. He was almost frozen ; so wrap-d ping him up in my heavy cloak, I carri«" him with some difficulty up the long bill, and soon bad him in quarters something warmer than those in which 1 had found him. It was a long time before the boy became conscious of his whereabouts j but when his delirium was over, and he sat before my fire wrapped in my warm dressing-gown, 1 ascertained how it happened that I found him asleep on the sidewalk. He told his story in a few words. He was alone in the world; his father and mother were dead, and he was shifting for himself. He had been unsuccessful in the sale of his papers that day, was hungry and thinly dressed, and the wind blowing very cold, he had crouched down a moment at the comer to shield himself from the cutting blast, had fallen asleep, and in that state I had found him. I thought the little sinner was lying to me when he began about his father and mother, and I watched to see if he didn't bring himself out some way before he finished. He was a bright little fellow; thin, to be sure, and very pale, but he did have a keen, black eye, and no mistake. His story, short as it was, was not ended before 1, feeling sure he was not lying to me, had decided what to do. The next morning, measuring the length, breadth and thickness of my newsboy, I went down street to my tailor's, obtained a suit of clothes which he chanced to have on hand, and which, with a few changes, proved to be just the thing, purchased a pair tvf shoe* which exactly fitted the measure I had in my pocket, and returned to my room before ths> lad was%wake. „__a You ought to have seen how he opened room, at those eyes and stared at me, at the ' �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1866. 90 terything, and have watched the shadow of rplcxity, astonishment and delight flit ross his face, as the recollections of the it few hours came back. my man,".said I, " how do you "■1?Well, Well enough to get up and see if these ps are anywhere near the size of that body He was out of bed in a flash, and in a ry short time was dressed in his new suit. >! but he did look well, as he stood there so neat and that I felt as flogged the than trim, and so thankful withal, the school-master did when he boys, that " it is more blessed to receive." Well, I kept the boy with me till he was well and strong, and one morning 1 called him to me, and in a set speech, a la junior exhibition, said: " Mr. Newsboy, it is high time lhat you should begin again the voyage of active life, and this morning I am going to cut you adrift.

I graduated, settled ess, married ; but still never once my boy, and at last he and the ocwere forgotten, years ago this winter my business le to the West. It proved a sorry to me. I lost my traveling-sack, containing valuables to quite an amount; my journey had been a wild goose chase the least shadow of success, and just DUt discouraged, I started home. Misfortune did not desert me here. On ■king my wallet, I found that it had been ilen, and that I had not a dollar in my eket. I have a faint recollection of not feeling particularly amiable just at that time. Out West, in those days, was something different from what it is now, where you roll over the ground aj the rate of forty miles an hour, and out West, with not a dollar, and no means of communication but a line of snail-paced stage-coaches, was anything but tthout delightful. The coach for the East was just starting, and having watched it out of sight, I went back to the tavern and sat down to think how 1 should get out of my difficulty. I had been sitting there for some little time, when a man who had been warming himself with his back to the fire drew hischair near mine, and after a little chat at the weather, sur, of prised me by asking if I wasn't Mr. Providence, Rhode Island. I told him 1 was, and before I could return the compliment of asking his name, he said : Do you remember the boy whom, when you were a student in the University, you found almost frozen in the streets of Providence ? Do you remember that I promised yoa (for I am that boy,) to be an honest, industrious man, to behave myself,and become an ornament to society ? Yes, sir, I am that boy, and I can say, without fear of denial, ibat I am an honest and successful man, and ihst whatever I am, morally, or socially, J " am indebted to you for it," and he shook my hand as only a grateful man can. Then he told me what he had been about all these years ; how by industry and perseverance he had won the confidence of his employer, had in time been admitted by him as a partner, had married his partner's daughter—in a word, he was happy. My surprise at the appearance of " my boy," his evident pleasure in meeting me, his earnest inquiries after my welfare—all these things at the time I fully appreciated, anl I did not hesitate to tell him how I was situated. He laughed at my misfortunes, hoped I " wouldn't lie awake o' nights grieving about them," and taking my arm, led me away. He took me to his office, told me of his extensive business, made me shake hands with his fathf r-iu-law, nnd I don't know how many others, and soon after, leading me up the stately steps of as fine a dwelling as a reasonable man could wish to possess, he introduced me to its lovely mistress, his wife. I passed a plensnnt week under that friendly roof, and more than once I thought, as I journeyed homeward, how many more such grateful harvests might be garnered if men would be less miserly of the proper seed. How to Prevent a Divorce.—When the senior Jonathan Trumbull was Governor of Connecticut, a gentleman called at his house, requesting to see His Excellency in private. Accordingly he was shown into his sanctum sanctorumt and the Governor came forward to meet Squire W., saying, "Good morning, sir; lam glad to see you," Squire W., returned the salutation, adding as he did so, " I have called upon a very unpleasant errand, sir, and want your advice. My wife and I do not live happily together, and I am thinking of getting a divorce. What do you advise, sir ?'' The Governor sat a few moments in deep thought; then turning to Squire W., said : How did you tr.at Mrs. W., when you were courting her? and how did you feel towards her at the time of your marriage ? " Squire W., replied, " I treated her as kindly as I could, for I loved her dearly at that time." " Well sir," said the Governor, "go home and court her now just as you did then, and love her as when you married her. Do this in the fear of God for one year, and then tell me the result." The Governor then said, " Let us pray." They bowed in prayer and separated. When a year had passed away, Squire W., called again to see the Governor, and grasping his hand, said : " I have called, sir, to thank you for the good advice you gave me, and to tell you that my wife and I are as happy as when first we were married. I cannot be grateful enough for your good counsel." "I am glad to hear it, Mr. W., and hope that you will continue to court your wife as long as you live." The result was that Squire W., and his wife lived happily together to tbe end of theirs married life. Let those who are thinking of separation in these days go and do likewise. " nets .of kindness, " Little Little deeds of love. Mnke this world an Eden. Like to that above." While the civil war was raging in the United States, European writers were loud in their condemnation, of it, because brother was arrayed against brother ! But it appears, that the present struggle in Europe, presents features of a similar nature. The London correspondent of the New York Times thus refers to the relations of royalty to the war: " The sympathies of the Queen of England must be strangely divided in this contest. The husband, of her eldest daughter commands a division of the Prussian army, in which near relatives of her late husband occupy prominent positions. The husband of her second daughter has a command in the Austrian army. Prince Teck, just married to the Princess Mary of Cambridge, has accepted a command in the Austrian army, and sets out for the seat of war, with his bride, before the honeymoon is half over. There is scarcely a member of any royal family in Europe who is not mixed up in the war. A dozen princes of Northern Germany have already lost their crowns and kingdoms. Some are exiles in Austria, some prisoners in Prussia. The King of Hanover, with his army of 30,000 men, is hemmed in by the Prussians, and considering whether the Federal Army of Frankfort may not come to his rescue. The King df Saxony escaped with his whole army ; but Bismarck says of him and the others, that if they ever get back they will not recognize their kingdoms, so rapid and radical are the changes ho is making. When Victor Emmanuel was starting to cross the Mincio, he telegraphed the fact to his son-in-law, the King of Portugal. " You will hear from me in a few days," said the Kiflg. " Tell Maria." The King of Portugal has heard of him, and, 1 presume, has told Maria. A Descendant of John Rogers, the correspondent writes us thnt the young man by the name of Rogers, whose death we recorded in our last issue, was a son of J. F. Rogers, Esq., cashier of the Railroad Bank, Lowell, Mass., and was also a descendant of the tenth generation of the Martyr Rogers, who was burnt at the stake February 4, 1555, during the reign of Queen Mary, known as Bloody Mary. Descendants of the Martyr we knew were living in America, and are very glad to learn that the worthy and estimable young gentleman who lately died on our shores descended from so worthy an ancestry. The parents of the young man are soon expected to visit the Martyr.—A Islands. Old Paterson—Whom Scott saw reviving the inscriptions on the tombs of the Covenanters, went to America, and became the grandfather of a Paterson, whose widow married the Marquis of Wellesly. The sisters of that Mrs. Paterson married the Duke of Leeds and Lord Stafford. The direct blood of Old Mortality went in another and as remarkable a direction. His granddaughter, Miss Paterson, was the first wife of Jerome Bonaparte. The marriage was never " legally annulled, and a son who sprung from it," the great-grandspn of Old Mortality, is now on the staff of his cousin, the Emperor of the French. �91 THE HMIiMi, OCTOBER, 1866.

It speaks to us as immortal beings on the highest, noblest, and most important themes which can challenge our attention, and with an authority that is absolutely irresistable and overwhelming.

In reading thnt marvelously odd old book, Cotton Mather's Magnalia," on page 58, " 1., Vol. we met with the following paragraph relating to Yankee whalemen of the 17th century " From the catching of cod, and other fish of less dimensions, they have since passed on to the catching of whales, whose oil has become a staple commodity of the country ; whales, I say, which living and moving islands, do now find a way to this coast, where notwithstanding the desperate hazards run by the whale catchers in their thin whaleboats, often torn to pieces by the strokes of those enraged monsters; yet has been rarely known that any of them hare miscarried. And within a few days of my writing this paragraph (1696 or thereabouts) a cow and calf were caught at Yarmouth in this Colony. The cow was fifty-five feet long. A cart upon wheels might have gone in at the mouth of it. The calf was twenty feet long." In the Colonial history there is frequent mention of..catching whales off the coast of New England. It is interesting to trace the history of the whale-fishery from that day until the present, when now whales are seldom to be found except in the remotest parts of the seas and oceans of the world. Yankee whalemen are still following in the wake of these monsters of the deep, until finally they have called to their aid steam and gun-powder. As the last echoes of " there she blows" were dying away amid the dreary regions of Greenland and the Arctic Ocean, a shout was heard from the backwoods of Pennsylvania that "ile was struck." Lo! out gushes a stream that flows on without cessation. : Cure for Want of Appetite.—This is a very common complaint, and the medical authorities give various directions to persons who are thus afflicted. There is one however that we have not seen stated in the books. Cause a good dinner to be prepared, and it on sitting down you do not feel an appetite, immediately direct your cook to remove the foodand convey it around the corner of the street to the Widow Smith, who has several small chiraren. Rest assured your dinner will not go uneaten, and your next meal will be eaten with a good relish.

Harper A Brothers, New York, 1866. In the November number of the Friend, 1865, will be found a notice of Vol. I.of this important publication. On opening this volume, our attention is first arrested by this fact (before reading a page,) that the Emperor should have given to this volume the last touches of his pen at " the Tuilleries, March 20, 1866," and before the 20th of September, or between the vernal and autumnal equinoxes—the 20th of March and the 20th of September—the volume should have been printed in Paris, reprinted in London, and again reprinted in New York, and brought lo Honolulu, on the opposite side of the world, from Paris! Truly we live in a fast and progressive age. This volume embraces the history of Caesar's life, while carrying forward the conquest of Gaul, down to the time when he crosses the Rubicon, exclaiming : "The die is cast! Let us go where I am called by the prodigies of the gods aud the iniquity of my enemies." The basis of this volume is, of course, the famous " Commentaries" of Caesar, which have for so many centuries been the study and admiration of historians, scholars, divines and the whole literary world. Caesur's commentaries still retain their place as a text-book in academies and colleges. Only last week we chanced to take a peep into the Latin recitation room of Oahu College at Punahou, and 10, there sat President Alexander hearing, among others, a pure Hawaiian youth, translating from Latin into English, that spirited and remarkable passage relating to Julius Caesar and the haughty German, Ariovistus, not altogether unlike the recent diplomatic and curt correspondence between Bismasjk, the haughty German, and the present Emperor of France, author ,of this volume now under review, Ariovistus wondered what business Julius Caesar or the Roman people had in his division of Gaul. So Bismark wonders what business the Emperor of France can have in extending the boundaries of his Empire up to the Rhine. History repeats itself in a cycle of years. By the way, if we mistake not, this was the same Hawaiian youth whose correct demonstration of a difficult problem in geometry or trigonometry at the late Examination led Bishop Staley to remark that the youth putted himself in a manner which would re done credit to a student of Oxford or mbridge. But to return from this digression, here s before our eyes this beautifully printed, . s f handsomely bound, and expensively executed volume. How pleasant to read over the story of Caesar's campaigns in Gaul, written by a Napoleon who now rules over France ! The author could write, " My uncle" threatened to land an army in Britain, but Csssar actually led an army thither, and in this volume there is the narrative of the manner in which it was done. Cresar's description of the Britons during the first century prior to our Saviour's birth, is not very flattering to their descendants of Old or New England. They were clothed in skins, wore their hair long, lived in mud huts, besmeared their bodies with blue paint (woak,) and in morals were not above the inhabitants of New Holland or the wilds of America ; and furthermore, were as much under the influence of the old Druids as were the North American Indians under their powwows, or the Sandwich Islanders under their kahunas. This volume suggests many topics, upon which we should delight to dwell, if our limits would permit. It is a book which will provoke much interesting discussion in military and literary circles. From the' publisher's note prefixed to this volume, we learn that Consar's Commentaries have been carefully studied by several of the distinguished Kings and Emperors of Europe of former times. It appears that Charles Y. left a copy of Crjßsar, with marginal notes written with his own hand j King Henry the IV. of France, translated the first two books of the Commentaries; Louis XIV. translated the first book, and many others studied Caesar with care. Napoleon I. at St. Helena, dictated the " Precis dcs Guerres dc Cesar," which was published in Paris in 1836. We regret that this volume should not be accompanied with the plates and maps referred to so often on almost every page of the book, and it is surprising the publishers in New York should have allowed the volume to go forth thus defective. An old writer says that geography and chronology are the eyes of history. If so, this volume is a oneeyed affair ! We learn from Mr. Whitney that he is expecting a supply of this book, which will be soon offered for sale. We would tender our indebtedness to the gentleman who kindly loaned us this volume, on condition that we cut the leaves. We would acknowledge a small pamphlet from Boston, containing in part the results of Mr. Horace Mann's botanical researches upon these Islands in 1864. It will be remembered that Messrs. Brigham and Mann visited the Islands for scientific purposes. We also learn that Professor Brigham has returned to Boston, via China, India and Burope. We notice tbat in the above mentioned pamphlet very honorable reference is made to Dr. Hillebrand as a botanist. — T. F. Wilson, Esq. By a late vessel this gentleman arrived from Washington. He belongs to the newly organized Consular Corps, which has been called into existence by a law of Congress passed in 1864. According to this law of Congress, a certain number of young men, after undergoing an examination in international law, general literature and other branches, are placed on the " line of promotion." They first serve as clerks, or in some of the lower offices of the Departments, and then are advanced. The French and English Consular systems are copied, being adapted to our Republican Government. Mr. Wilson comes out with the rank of Vice-Consul to officiate at this Consulate during the contemplated absence of Mr. Caldwell. Mr. Wilson has already acquired much Consular experience, having officiated for three years as United Stares Consul at Bahia, Brazil. He was tbe Consul who co-operated with the commander of the Wachusett in cutting out and taking to the United States the rebel cruiser Florida during the war. The deed was no doubt executed in violation of international law, but under the peculiar circumstances, we suppose both the Brazilian and United States Governments concluded that " the less said the better." Subsequently the Florida was sunk, and there thea>matter ended. The law of Congress to which we have referred will undoubtedly revolutionize the matter of foreign Consuls, and place the system on a much better foundation. New Attorney General.—If the state of morals, crime and general depravity require the Hawaiian Government to send abroad for an Attorney General, we- are sincerely glad that it had the good sense to send to old Massachusetts and invite a prominent member of the legal profession from that State. Mr. Phillips, having been an Attorney General of that ancient Commonwealth, surely comes amongst us to wear, not acquire laurels. We hope our lawyers will see well to it that this gentleman does not prosecute unto conviction any poor innocent hade or tnaoli who may chance to beaccused. " Better let ten guilty escape than punish one innocent," is the old adage. We would warn all violators of the laws of the Hawaiian Kingdom, look out, you have a Massachusetts lawyer after you, and report says that the lawyers are very smart in the " Hub of the universe." The sum of £SO.OOO or $400,000 has been contributed in England, for the benefit of the Freedmen of the Southern States. One fourth part has been contributed by the Quakers.

James B. Dunn, and just published by the National Temperance Society t Prior to the advent of the cholera in England, in the Spring of 1832, a placard was daily carried through the streets of London, by order of the civil authorities, having in large capitals the words, " All spirit drinkers will be the first victims of the cholera." The result was that few persons had the cholera in that city. In the cities of New York and Albany, the same year, thousands of posters bearing this caution were put up with good effect: " Quit dram-drinking if you toould not have the cholera." This arose from the fact, that however writers and theorists may differ about contagion and non-contagion, on this point they all agree, that Intemperance predisposes to cholera, and that the intemperate are its first victims, and make up nine-tenths of its subjects. Everywhere the cholera has manifested such an affinity for the temperate that they have been, not unappropriated, denominated cholera conductors. Monsieur Huber said of 2160 persons whom he saw die in twenty-one days in one It is a most remarkable town in Russia : circumstances that persons given to drinking have been swept away like flies." In Triflis, containing 20,000 inhabitants, erery drunkard has fallen—all are dead—not one remains. Nearly all of the 30,000 persons who died of cholera in Paris during its last*visit were in the habit of using strong drink, and ninetenths of all who perished by the malady in Poland were of the same class. Throughout England, Ireland, and Scotland, it was not known that a single member of a Temperance society died of this disease during its ravages in 1832, while it is computed that five-sixths of all who perished were taken from the ranks of the intemperate, and in one or two villages in Scotland every drunkard had fallen. When it visited those countries in 1848-49, one of the most extensive and respectable liquor-dealers in Glasgow remarked that cho'era had cut off at least onehalf of hisbest customers. Similar testimony is borne by the Glasgow press of that period as that recorded during the cholera ravages in 1832, that the lists of mortality were always swelled after some carousal season. Dr. A. M. Adams, Professor of Medicine in Glasgow, and one whose name ranks high in the medical profession, in a letter dated Nov. 29, 1848, makes the following striking statement : I have found the use of alcoholic drinks to be the most powerful predisposing " Uka iii or Tiikiii'imi.i-s Mtnu.r.—Tho friends of this stenLleman will regret to hunr of his decease, which occurred at Oakland. Cal., on the Cth of August. He bud been suffering for several years from lung disease, snd was advised ,o try a voyage to the States, but lived only a few weeks after his arrival lo San Francisco, lie was a native, of Geneva, Western New York, and having received a good academical education, devoted himself to civil engineering. In this capacity he was engaged in laying out tbe Michigan Central Railroad, where his abilities became so conspicuous that, before he was 21 years ot age, he received the appointment of Chief Engineer of that, which was then one of the greatest railroad enterprises in America, iieing still quite young, his health gave way tinder the arduous duties required in his new office, and he was advised to migrate to a warmer climate, lie came to these islands May 19, 1842, engaged in his profession of civil engineer, and held office for several years as Superintendent of Public Works. He was also Marshal of the Islands for two or three years. About the year 1855 he commenced the Kaupnkuea l*lantation on Hawaii, which he continued to carry on till his death. Few men have done more to develope the resources of this group than he, and few hove more thoroughly studied its wants and necessities. He possessed a vigorous and powerful pen, and contributed some Interesting articles on our agriculture aud resources. Our readers may remember tho series describing the harbors of this group, published ten years ago. These Were from his pen, and showed a thorough knowledge of tho wants of the islands. He was an excellent French scholar, and studied the current agricultural and mechanical literature of France with the greatest interest. At the time of his death he was *7 years old. He leaves four children— the two eldest of wbom were with him at the time of his death. His property is supposed to be worth from $50,000 to $100,000. By his will he has appointed Dr. Judd, Charles R. Bishop and E. O. Hall bis executors, and leaves $10,000 to each of his three younger children, by a" second wife, and the residue to his oldest daughter, by his first wife. In case of her death without issue, Oahu College'(which institution was always a favorite of his) becomes the residuary legatee.—Advertiser. - Sauii Change.—We think the time has come when some one else besides the Editor of the Herald should mov.i in this matter of small change. Every merchant, housekeeper, the banker, the Chamber of Commerce, Treasury Department, and if necsjsv sary, the missionaries—Protestant, Catholic and Reformed Catholic—should endeavor to introduce a better currency than is now in existence. We think if the Minister of Finance had worked one-half as hard to bring about a change in the small change as Ke did to introduce paper money, he would have found the public more grateful for his arduous services. No one but admits the necessity of some change, but the great objection urged is this, " Oh, the natives will not take dimes—they are opposed to dimes—they wet* once bit by being compelled to take a dime for something less than a bit, and you cannot get them to overcome their prejudices." There may be some force in this objection, but we have the remedy at hand. Suppose the banker, Minister of Finance and Chamber of Commerce agree to put " bits " to the value of dimes, and then let the Au Okoa and Kuokoa explain the change, and depend upon it, the change would be soon brought about. Kanakas are not so stupid and thick-headed as some imagine. Let the retail traders also come intothe arrangement, and it would essentially aid and forward the change. Keep the matter before the people, ye editors of the weeklies and the "Daily." — Hot Summer. From the newspapers we learn that the heat has been intense in the United States during the past summer. Dr. Wood thus writes from Concord, Mass., under date of July 10th : " The maximum of heat during the present month is said to be without a parallel. For nine days in July the thermometer has ranged about 90 ° In this town it has reached 96 ° —in some localities 98 «**. In New York 110° , with twenty-three cases of sunstroke, and a large proportion of deaths." He furnishes the following table, showing the temperature relatively of Koloa (Kauai), Honolulu, San* Francisco, and Concord : Perhaps the Gleaner would more appropriately head our sheet than the friend, for it requires much close gleaning to pick news items, after the itemizers of the Advertiser, Gazette and Daily Herald have had the field for a full month.

John Williams.—This is a new hark of 300 tons, built in Aberdeen, Scotland, at a cost of £8,000. It has been paid for by Sabbath school children in England, in sympathy with the operations of the London Missionary Society in the South Seas. This vessel is supposed to have sailed from England, and is probably now in the South Pa- cific. John Weslev.—This vessel was wrecked last November on one of the Tonga or Friendly Islands. Its place will doubtless be very soon supplied by a new vessel, to be owned, as was its predecessor, by the Wesleyan Missionary Society of England. 3. John Knox.—This is a vessel owned by the Missionary Society of New Brunswick, sending missionaries to the New Hebrides. 2. Amelia—but there is such a vessel, which is running to South Africn. German missionaries are laboring near or among the Zulus. 7. Morning Star. —The new Morning Star is now building at one of the ship-yards at South Boston. She is expected to sail from Boston, so as to reach Honolulu on or before the coming Spring. The money for building this vessel is now being raised among the Sabbath school children of the United States. The Maoris of New Zealand. —The race is melting away ; and if there were no more war, and the Europeans were to leave the country to-morrow, the extinction of the Maori, in an exceedingly brief period, is as certain as anything human can be. A very few figures will show this. In 184i!, according to the best estimates which could be made, the authority of missionaries and other long residents in the country, their number was 114,000. In 1850 a well-informed Wesleyan missionary estimated them at 70,000. In 1858 a government census, generally supposed to be in excess, returned them at 55,970. The war and natural causes have, by this time, probably reduced them to 45,000. Carry on the calculation, and it is evident that the certain extinction of the race, except a few individuals, is a thing which many of us may live to witness. The one great cause of this has been, and is, their utter disregard of all those social and sanitary conditions which are essential to the continuing vitality of the human race. The result is, the constitution of the Maori is absolutely decayed, and they do not produce children to replace the current generation of adults.— English paper. She is now running among those islands. 4. Southern Cross.—This is a vessel owned by tho Church Missionary Society of England, and placed at the disposal of Bishop Selwyn of New Zealand, and Bishop Patteson of Melanesia. This vessel has recently made a trip among the Solomon Islands, and the crew of one of her boats was fired upon by the natives of one of those savage islands. Two of the bout's crew were wounded by the poisoned arrows, which caused their deaths. These young men belonged to Norfolk Island, being descendants of Pitcairn islanders. One of them was a son of the Rev. Mr. Nobbs. Within the field of the Melanesian NaInformation. uticl Mission there are at least eighty islands.

Tho Northman lay on his iron cliff, Outlooking the Norman sea ; With his bold, blue eras of wild emprise. Abroad o'er the wave locked he. In a restless mood of solittido, He longs in the chase to roam : "I've conquered the bear in the Toriiean wood, And the shark by the deep Maelstroom! My fitting foe lived long ago— The mighty mastodon! His blue eyes bravely glanced below— The chivf from Ms cliff had gone! 'Tis the whale ; yon whale that tempts his sail, Like an island he moveth on— By the boundless sen. I'll conquer thee, Thou ocean mastodon ! He darted his skiff from the foot of the cliff, All armed with corded spear ; Soon tbe barb is dyed in the sea beast's side. Anil away to the West they steer. Willi hempen rein, o'er the ocean plain, Mot* licet than the sledge they go ; With the retl setting sun a race they run. In the road of its ruddy glow. And tho sturm-waves keep up a glassy calm, That strange Hist bark to see : And tlio sea-gods rose the chase to charm. And shouted-" We'll ride with the*!'' And one of their troop the Norman chose, To share in his daring deed ; White was her breast as the Finland snows, Her heart like tho brown sea-weed. And thus they twain o'er rode tho main. And the Norman's shirt oCsnuil. With his shield he clashed, as they land-way washed, Till he stranded the maddened whale! That night on the strand of Owhyhee's land, He built for his mermaid bride A bowery hut, and the oil ho cut, For a lamp irom the monster's side. And from these two there sprang a crew, The boldest to spread the sail; And on every plain of tbe stormy main They chase the tumbling whale! " " " " " Intemperance. Foul flend, begone! I scorn thy tempting wile— 1 heed thee not—l know thy subtle arts. There was a time thy deep insidious smile l.nred me to throw aside man's nobler part, And made God's work a selfish senseless thing— A plague-spot in the path of fellow man.— I loaded to madness with the venom'd sting, A prey to anguish 'neath thy withering ban. Hut I am onco again myself, and now My tribute age shall speak in truthful lays Of thy deep pitfall and how keen the blow, When mem'ry reverts to bygone days. Where are thy victims? Legion calls their name The high, tbe honored, all have felt thy spell. What's tho result, source of all sin and shame?— The murderer, suioide, too plainly tell— Like to the deadly upas in the shade Of loneliness, thou touch with ftetid breath. Things of bright promise 'neath thy influence fade, Then left by thee to an eternal death. Sophia Wkhhkr. Launcenton, Dec. 11, lSfifl. tn The Bathometer —a New Philosophical Instrument.—We understand that Mr. Sidney E. Morso, the founder of the Boston Eecorder, the senior founder of the New York Observer, and the inventor of Cerography, has recently invented, and just patented, in connection with his son,G.Livingston Morse, a new and very simpre philosophical instrument, which they call a Bathometer. It is intended, ns its name imports, to measure the depth of water everywhere, even in the deepest parts of the ocean ; and it does this with a rapidity and accuracy far exceeding that of any apparatus now in use ftfr the purpose. No line is used, and it sinks therefore, rapidly, with little obstruction from friction. No line being used, its accuracy as a meter of depth is not affected by currents. You throw it overboard, with its appendages, in the ocean, where the water is miles deep. It goes down like a shot, and, as soon as it touches bottom, it turns and comes back to the surface. You pick it up, and the true depth of the water at the point where it struck the bottom is seen on the scale of the Bathometer, just as you see the degree of heat on the scale of a Thermometer. You turn the instrument on its side, and then cause it again to assume a perpendicular .position, and it is ready for a new operation. One of the most curious parts of the whole contrivance is, that with a slight change, the same Bathometer can be used as a meter of the depth of water in the ocean, on a scale of an inch to a mile, and in a bathing tub on a scale of more than the tenth of an inch to a loot, the lower part of the scale being used Tor shallow and the upper part for deep water.

Whose fault is it ? There are many young Hawaiians, well educated in general studies, who, we are confident, wouid make good physicians, infinitely better than the miserable kahunas who are killing off the race. Might not some young Hawaiians be trained at the Queen's Hospital, or by our physicians, who would make good practical physicians amting the natives?
