The columns of the "Amherst Student" abound with illustrations of this statement. Thirty years of contact with the world has not so obliterated our recollection of college life, that we have no sympathies with undergraduates. If circumstances would allow, we should delight to revisit Amherst and make a tour among the American colleges, and if time would permit, visit the universities of Europe. This privilege not being granted us, we shall adopt the next best method of cultivating an acquaintance with these institutions, viz: read their periodicals, catalogues and other publications when they fall in our way, or are laid upon our " table." Most gladly we should add any college periodical to the list of our exchanges. From the " Student," we learn that there are 500 American young men in German universities. We also learn that Mi«s Baldwin, twenty-one years of age, has been appointed Professor of Greek in Baker University, Kansas. Also, that there are 6,121 students now connected with Americari colleges. Also, that " the London ' Student,' the new college paper of England, is to start, not from This is the name of a semi-monthly sheet, issued by the undergraduates of Amherst College. We are indebted to our old classmate, Dr. N. Allen, of Lowell, Mass., for four numbers of the " Student." From its pages we learn much respecting npt only Amherst, but many other American Colleges. it is now quite common for the different colleges to have their own " organ." Vale has its " Courant," Cambridge its " Magazine," Kenyon, Ohio, its " Collegian," and so almost every American college its own periodical. We always read these publications when they fall in our way with intense in- students as first intended, but from a comterest.

Nye, of the American whaleship Wm. Rotck, reports that on the 20th of February, while cruising on the old Japan whaling ground, he visited the island of St. Peters, latitude 30° 30' N., and longitude 140° E., and there discovered seven wrecked Japanese, who had been on the island eighteen months. This island is triangular in form, and about six miles in circumference, and 2,000 feet high. He discovered from various sources that during the past century there had been six wrecks upon the island. It was upon this island that Capt. Whitfield, of Fair Haven, about 1539, discovered three Japanese, one of whom was Mangero, now Capt. Mangero, of the Japanese navy. It was this Japanese who translated Bowditch's "Navigator" into the Japanese language, an account of which will be found in the Friend of June, 1860. He is still living in Japan. Capt. Nye took these men to the fionin Islands, and there transferred three to the ship Eagle, and four to ship Ohio. They subsequently reached Japan in safety. One of the men was master of the wrecked junk. He was treated with great kindness by Capt. Nye.and on leaving expressed unbounded gratitude. Prayer Book Reviewed.—Some one has sent us a closely and neatly printed pamphlet of 43 pages, entitled, " Are there Romanizing Germs in the Prayer Book ? " The writer enters upon an historical review of the manual of devotion, which has for so many years guided the members of the Episcopal Church in England and America. There is no indication as to the authorship of this publication, but we learn that it is issued by those sympathizing with Low Church views. There is a strong and increasing party in that church which is determined to enjoy the " liberty "of the Gospel. If the Prayer Book needs changing and altering, they are resolved it shall be done. Some time since we saw the statement that the Prayer Book did not contain a direct petition or prayer for the conversion of the heathen world, except the clause in our Lord's Prayer, " thy kingdom come." If so, we think it quite time a change should be made. �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1868. 90 On Dreams and their Uses. dream, which wai not all a dream ."—Hymn. " IWehadareasuch fluff an dreams are made off."—Shakespeare. ""A dream oometh thraugh the multitude of bufinesi."—Sol- omon. "The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream."— Prophet Jeremiah. "My aplrlt vat troubled to know the dream." -Prophet Daniel. The true philosophy of dreams is but little understood among men, although many treatises have been written on that subject. They are difficult things to be analyzed, and therefore, little is known of the causes which produce them. Very few of them are ever remembered, and yet it is remarkable that a forgotten dream is often recalled to mind during a succeeding sleep, as if it were in a separate world from the one in which we move during our waking hours. (t is now well known that the brain is the seat and regulator of thought; that in a sane mind, the thoughts are all arranged and directed by reason, when the brain is in a healthy state. And yet it is not the matter of the brain itself that contains the thought, but the mind or soul that has its sent within. A mysterious connection exists between a healthy brain and the soul, which we can never explain, each of which has its own appropriate function, and both operating to- gether, produce rational thought. But the nerves of the brain soon become weary, and require rest. This rest is sleep, »nd extends to the whole nervous system thus laid to rest. During this interval the brain ceases to operate, and consequently the regulating power over thought ceases. But the mind carries on its own irregular action uncontrolled by the brain. This action produces dreams; and being disconnected from the brain at rest, they are seldom remembered. At length, however, as the brain becomes restored by rest to its normal condition for a return to action, it gradually resumes its connection with thought, and then the dreams assume a more connected form, and are capable of being retained in the memory, when at last the state of sleep suddenly ceases, and the brain awakes to its proper connection with the mind. The best time for clear thought is in the morning, after a full night's rest. When one is suddenly awaked in the midst of a sleep, he complains of being broken of his rest, and is unfitted to enter npon a course of close thought, because his brain has been deprived of its needed portion of repose. The intimate connection of the brain with the nerves of the body throws the whole system out of order, by means of this insufficient'rest. Another peculiarity of dreams is the relation they hold to real events in life, present or past; or to some previous process of thought, either near or remote. A man may have performed an action, or have gone through some mental operation, and the affair pass away from his memory for years, when the whole will suddenly recur to him in a dream. I propose to elucidate the foregoing theory by relating in substance an actual dream, which took place some time since, just before awaking from a full night's rest. Methought I was passing over a wide and verdant plain with great rapidity, and with no other exertion but that of the will, and rejoicing in th c thought that I was at length free from the shackles and thralls of the body. Suddenly I came in front of a large mansion which stood at the end of the way. As 1 approached the place, a person met me, who courteously inquired whether I was in search of any one. 1 replied in the affirmative, naming a deceased Christian brother. "Heis in yonder mansion," he answered ; " enter and you will meet him." As I passed on, he came and met me at the door. Our meeting was most cordial, followed by a hearty mutual embrace. I said to him, " Brother, I need not inquire after your happiness, your whole appearance denotes that you are happy. I know also the source from whence it springs— Jesus the Saviour. But tell me through what channel this happiness flows." Ans.—Yes, I am happy,—far more so than you can conceive. But it comes from the river of life, and that river is Truth. We drink daily at the fountain of Eternal Truth, and imbibe knowledge unmixed, without a doubt of its certainty. Q. —Is there no limit to knowledge in heaven ? A.—The acquisition of knowledge is unlimited with us, just as fast as we can acquire it, and knowledge increases the capacity of acquiring. On earth, all knowledge useful to the purposes of men may be acquired, were there time and strength to gain it. But there is a limit over which no man can pass. This arises from the fact of your being in a limited sphere. But with us, all knowledge is before us, and is accessible to the grasp of all who desire to look into it. The fountain is inexhaustible, and will be so forever. This is our labor, but not as with earthly labor,—it has no weariness or pain. Every step in its progress is happiness, because it is absolute truth and purity. Q. —Then heaven is not a mere place of rest and psalm-singing ? A.—Heaven is a place of employment, without constraint or weariness,—of spontaneous praise to God as new truths unfold before us. As these successively appear, so new praises spontaneously break forth to Him who gives them. We have also our periodical times of worship, when all holy beings unite in one chorus of praise. Q.—What is the medium of social intercourse between spirits ? A.—Vfe have a vocal language, definite and unlimited. Besides, we have the power ofreading the thoughts of each other. Among pure beings this is no annoyance, but a source of great pleasure in our social intercourse. Where there are no thoughts to conceal, this power inspires a mutual confidence thatfacilitates our intercourse and removes all distrust. repair on errands of mischief; but there is no affinity between us, and we instinctively avoid each other. Q.—Do they ever appear penitent ? A.—How can they ? Penitence includes humility. On earth they were too proud to accept the offered terms of mercy through the Saviour, and their proud unbelief has hardened into an intense hatred of Him and all holy beings. Pride was the cause of their ruin, and is still the cause of their misery. Q.—On earth there are many honest men who hnve doubts about thetruth of the Bible, on account of its apparent discrepancy with the discoveries of modern science. How far arc they right or wrong ? A.—The Bible is an emanation of God's truth. It is given to the world in the imperfect language of men, and so far susceptible of conveying different impressions, as the same words are differently understood, or as language varies its meaning. It is not a treatise on science in any sense, but a revelation of God's character and will to men. It was adapted to the ideas prevailing at a time of primitive simplicity, and before the sciences were discovered or named, and when the apparent motions of the sun and planets were supposed to be the true ones. Any scientific method of revelation could not have been received at that time, or by the greater portion of men at the present day. It has also been subject to the mistakes of transcribers. Still the great truths of the Bible are unchanged, and plain to every one who sincerely desires to know them and obey its precepts. These honest men of science need more humility which teaches not how things should be, but how they are. Q. —Why do not spirits communicate more frequently with men, and thus inform us more fully of the condition and employments of the world to come ? A.—Such information would interfere with God's prerogative, who has reserved for himself all revelations. Besides, a spirit cannot communicate with men, except by permission. Such communication to be apparent to the senses would bv> a miracle, requiring the direct agency of God. The only way they can communicate is by suggesting thoughts to the mind, without any control over the will, which is free to accept or reject these suggestions. A man is not responsible for evil suggestions to his mind, it is only when he accepts them in his actions or purposes that they become to him a sin. The same may be said of him when he rejects a good suggestion. Much mischief would accrue in allowing the spirits a free access to the senses and perceptions of men. The so called seances of spiritualism are an imposition and a mischief. At this moment I awoke. Such is the substance of the dream. It was remembered the more easily from the intense interest it had excited during the imaginary conversation held with that deceased brothel. 1 find, however, that there were no new ideas suggested to me they nil had been the subjects of previous thought at different times. The only thing remarkable was, that all the points discussed should have been crowded together into the space of a few minutes, while the brain was resuming its normal connection Q.—Does this power exist among wicked spirits ? A.—lt does, and it is one cause of their misery. They can no longer conceal their evil thoughts from the gazeof all others, and thus they are brought to hate and despise each other. In life it was their pride to ; conceal, and their language was framed for that purpose. But now their very thoughts are a spectacle to the universe. Q.—Do you ever hold intercourse with wicked spirits ? A. —None socially. We often meet them on our visits to the earth, whither they also with the mind. — �91 THE rRII N 0, NOVEMBER, 1868.

And it confirms the idea generally received, that after death, the soul will have a vivid recollection of everything which transpired within the range of his perception on earth. 3. Dreams are an indication or index of the habitual thoughts which employ the mind during the wakeful hours. By these a man may know on examination whether his prevailing thoughts are pure or impure. To "know thyself" is the Christian duty of every one, but which inordinate self-esteem renders difficult to achieve.

The First Daily Paper.—The British journal entitled to this description was the Daily CouraiU. commenced on the 11th of March, 1702, by " E. Mallet, against the Ditch at Fleet Bridge," a site, we presume, very near that of the present Times office. It was a single page of two columns, and professed solely to give foreign news, the editor or publisher further assuring his readers that he would not take upon himself to give any comments of his own, " supposing other people to have sense enough to make reflections for themselves." The Daily Courant very soon passed into the hands of Samuel Buckley, "at the sign of the Dolphin in Little Britain" —a'publisher of some literary attainments, who afterwards became the printer of the Spectator, and pursued on the whole a useful and respectable career. As a curious trait of the practices of the government of George 1., we have Buckley entered in a list of persons laid before a Secretary of State (1724), as " Buckley, Amen-corner. the wor; " thy printer of the Gazette—well-affected i.e., well-affected to the Hanover succession, a point of immense consequence at that epoch.

"Put Out the Fire." —A new style of fire extinguisher has recently been invented in America. We notice tome specimens of the article at C. Brewer & Co.'s store, received per Ceylon. In a late copy of one of our exchanges, the. Worcester Spy, we reud the following notice : Narrow Escape from Fire in Leices" —On ter. Friday afternoon last a fire was discovered on the roof of the main building of Leicester Academy, and an alarm was immediately given, when the Union fire engine company was promptly on the spot, as the engine house was within a few rods of the Academy building. Before the engine company had time to get their tnnchine filled and ready to opernte, which was but a very short time, three of these extinguishers were in the attic of the building, ready for opening the campaign. Only one of them was however used, and although the lire had burned several holes through the roof, a few minutes application of the contents settled the ma tier, and much damage was saved the interior of the fine chapel hall underneath, which must unavoidably have been greatly injured by the flood of water which would have been necessary for a tire engine to have used to extinguish it. The trustees of the Academy and the public generally, are under great obligations to the public spirited gentlemen who furnished the means, and so promptly used them, for the preservation of this valuable building, just as it was about to commence another term of usefulness." We are glad to learn that the buildings of Leicester Academy escaped, for just forty years ago it was our privilege to be a pupil in that institution, preparing for college. Since the above was set up in type, we learn that the fire extinguisher has been successfully tested near the Oahu Prison in the presence of the Chief Engineer of the Honolulu Fire Department and a number of our foreign residents. On this occasion a number of tar barrels, thoroughly saturated with kerosene oil, were set on fire; and after they were in a perfect blaze, the extinguisher was set to work, and succeeded in putting out the fire in less than one minute. Arabic Sailor.—Some one sent to our office for distribution among seamen, three Arabic New Testaments. We little imagined any one reading Arabic would visit our Depository at the Sailors' Home. To-day, October 28th, a sailor calls to obtain an English spelling-book, and is asked what language he reads. He replies, Arabic. One of these Testaments is exhibited. Never could the man have been more astonished than to have found a book in his own language at Honolulu. Great was his delight when the book was presented to him. He belongs to Zanzibar, on the eastern coast of Africa. A temperance meeting is held every Thursday evening at tho Bethel Vestry. Persons wishing to sign the pledge will please attend. The " Occident."—We are pleased to add to our list of exchange papers the Occident, published in Sun Francisco by Bancroft & Co., and edited by the Rev. James Eells, D. D., who has associated with him the Rev. Dr. Walsworth. This is a weekly sheet. It is printed in large sized octavo form, 16 pages, and stitched. We also add, the pages are duly cut. This style of printing pleases us exceedingly, and we wish other pn'pcrs would adopt the same style. If the New York Independent, Chicago Advance, and other large sheets were issued in this style, it would add much to their value. A common newspaper is read and thrown aside as waste paper, but when " stitched and cut" u la Occident, then it will be read and reread. We hops the editors of those mammoth sheets will not despise a suggestion from the little Friend, published away off in the Pacific. The truth is, we think so much of the contents of a good religious paper, that we desire to see it circulated, read and preserved. The Occident is a good sensible old school Presbyterian newspaper, which iloci not think it necessary to print whole v«lunx-l of sensational articles for the good of the rising generation and the church militant. We like the paper, and long may it live.

He is well acquainted with the commercial, agricultural and religious condition of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and no doubt will do all in his power to effect the passage of the Treaty, which will be mutually beneficial to both "The beer drinkers of London are very much shocked to discover that a.great proportion of the beer sold in that city is adulterated with the most poisonous drugs." We copy the above paragraph from one of our exchanges. We think beer thus "doc* tored " (to employ a sugar refinery term) must be the kind imported into Honolulu. We notice that persons who drink English beer become bloated and sickly. This must, we opine, be owing to the " poisonous drugs." Good beer surely ought not to have this effect. The more the people drink, the more deplorable the effects upon the physical and mental constitution. "The" Omitted. —The officers managing the publications of the Low Church party in the Episcopal Church of the United States, have decided to omit " the" when referring to their own church, but hereafter to write " our" church. We only wonderthey should have held on so long to this method of designating their own denomination, when one of the XXXIX. Articles reads: "The visible church of Christ is a congregation of faithful men," &c. Now, according to their own standard, there are other churches of Christ besides the Episcopal.

M. Wkitnry Sir t Theship Conn/Aton,of New Bedford, Valentine Lewis, muter, wai loit on Blossom Shoals, northward of Icy Cape, Arctic Ocean, August 31, 1868, at 930. A. M. Bhe hail Uken eleven whale* the season, and had at the time she wa> lout twu whale* in the blubber-room,and about 150 bbls. of oil, in cask* on deck. She went on shore in athick snow-storm. At 6 o'clock, A. M., the Captain was called by theoltlcerln charge of the deck, and told that the ship was in shoal water. We had at the time seven fathoms. The Captain caiuc on deck and immediately gave orders to wear ship and make sail ; on account of everything being frozen solid, had to carry hot walcr aloft to thaw out the hracc blocks before we could wear round ; wore ship in five fathoms, heading off* shore ; ag-iiu nounded and found eight fathoms \ atood off till we came to the Ice; sounded and found eight fathom* ; in fifteen minutes sounded again ami found six fathoms; and in about two minutes after Mtruck the shoals | struck three limes, with a space between of about ten seconds. It was quite evident, mm time before we struck, that we hum go on shore, for nothing hut a miracle could save us, with ice on one tack and the land on the other, with strong gales from the northwest, a strung northwest current, thick snow storm, and freezing so that it was almost impossible to work the ship. We tried to loose the ini/./rn topsail, but Could not do so. Several <»r the men had their lingers frozen us it was ; and after doing allthat it was possible Mr Men V* do, th>- ship struck, as I have said If fore, at 9:30 A. M and immediately fell over on lier Is-ain ends. We cleared away the larboard boat** lo save tln-m. The Captain then gnve ortlers i«j cut away the masts, which was done, ami after starling some of theoil we had on deck, the shiprighted up, and the bouts came back to the ship, all but the third mate, and h« went on shore with two boats and eight men, where they remained till the next morning. He said the current was running so strong that it was impfiKMiMe to get back to the ship at that time. And here let me remark that Mrs. Lewis, the Captain's wife, acted through it all with the utmost courage—not a sign of fear was to be seen on either cheek or eye. God bless her, and limy she arrive at home in safety. Captain Lewis and his otllcers remained by the ship ami did all ■■} could to save her, hut the ice was fust packing down on v*, ami at 5:30 P. M. the ('aptain and his wife, the mate, second and fourth mates, left the ship in three boats, to try and find a ship, leaving on hoard imsWf and nine other mm. And let me here say that we remained by the ship at our own request, the Captain wishing us to go with him in the boat* but we preferred to remain by the wreck. Through the night the ice packed all arouud us, but the wreck layquite easy. Ou the morning of September Ist, the the third mate and the men with him returned to the wreck ; came ou hoard about '.* o'clock, and alter gettiug breakfast, we commenced to lighten the ship by throwing overboard the remainder of the oil we had ou deck, and by throwing the blubber overboard out of theblubber-room. The natives came on l>oanl, and helped us all they could. They were very quiet and |>erfectly honest— would not take anything unless given to them. About midday thewind changed round to the southeast, and the lM MM> menced moving from along side the ship, it having been[jacked around us all night and all the forenoon; cleared away the spars from alongside, and lightened the ship, so that at 4 P. M. thewreck l>egau to move. We commenced to heave up the anchors. The cry ol sad ho ! is heard through the ship, and on looking off to sea, we could all sea the welcome sight—a ship ttandnig in right for us ; and soon another, and then another, until six of them were in sight, and theu might be seen a tear stealingdown from eyes that probably had not shed a tear for years. The first ship in was the George Howland, ('apt. Kuowles; he got to us with his boat about tt o'clock. We were then all afloat, and off the shoals. Capt. Knowles advised us to lei go the anchors, which we did in seven fathoms of water. Shortly after other ships arrived, and the Captains came on board. The ships were—the George Howland, Capt. Knowles ; Josephine Caul. Cogan \ Vineyard, Capt. Smith ; Cornelius Howlaud, Capt. Human; Concordia, Capt. Jones, and Florida, Capt. Fraxur. The Captains of these ships all kindly offered us homes on board their Mips, and a free passage into whatever Doffj they might be going to at the end of the season- The Coriuthiau's crew, now on board of the ship George Howland, have requested me to return to these Captains thanks for their kindnesK, especially as some if not all of them left whales to Richard 11.

D., late President of Harvard University. Boston. : 1867. This list of publications upon the literature and government of the ancient Greeks might be greatly enlarged. We have noticed in English and American literary journals the recent issue of several other works of a standard character upon the same subject. The lectures of President Felton, Professor Tyler and the Earl of Derby, we are glad to notice, are to be obtained at Whitney's bookstore. Although this may be styled njast age, and some of the new educators of the young would throw aside the literature treasured up in the so called dead languages—the Greek and Latin, —yet the demand for successive editions of the above publications and the standard ancient authors, indicates that there is a strong current in favor of the histories and literature of those ancient nations, but especially the Greeks. If any of our readers who studied the ancient classics in their youth wish to revive their knowledge of Greece and the language of that renowned people, we would recommend the perusal of Felton's lectures. They are written in a most charming and pleasing style. Earl Derby's translation of Homer's Iliad is truthful and literal, much more so than that of Pope. Prof. Tyler's " Theology of the Greek Poets" is worthy of being read by every clergyman, or any one else who would acquaint himself with the theological as well as mythological opinions of the 'Greeks. This writer's discussion of the great Homeric question respecting the authorship of the Iliad and Odyssey, merits a careful perusal, and will richly repay the reader, for the writer brings togetherfrom various sources the scattered hints, facts and references upon this subject. It is quite a remarkable fact that a London merchant scholar, George Grote. should have written the most reliable and exhaustive history of Greece ever published in the English language. The work of Christopher Wordsworth is an expensive and beautifully executed publication. It must have required years of study and travel to have collected 18(8. the materials for this work, which is printed in so dainty and costly a style. We wonder some book publisher in England or America does not reprint " Travels of Auachnrsis the Younger in Greece, during the middle of the fourth century before the Christian era," by the Abbe Barthelemi. As a work of the imagination, strictly conformable to history, this is a most remarkable publication. An edition of this work, in four volumes, published in London in 1796, now lies before us. The writer is as particular as the historian Gibbon to insert loot notes and references at the bottom of every page. It is gratifying to know that a taste for books and literature of the old Greeks keeps pace with the eager desire to read the new publications of the age, many of which '• do fade as a leaf," while Homer's Hind, for example, the oldest uninspired poetical production of the hunmn mind, still holds on its triumphal career. At no distant day we shall expect to learn that the Japanese and Chinese are studying the classic authors of Greece and Rome in their schools and colleges. Confucius may never have heard of Homer, but the disciples and countrymen of Confucius may yet read the writings of Homer and of Moses, and thereby learn that there were peoples upon the earth, even prior to the foundation of the Chinese Empire. We are living in a most wonderful age ; but what renders the present age so wonderful, is the fact that while the human mind is full of anticipations of future greatness, yet it cannot sever the link binding it with the past. He that would improve the present, and press forward to the future, should carefully study the past. The following paragraph respecting the study of Homer's poems is from the pen of Prof. Shedd.of New York Theological Seminary. He was our fellow student nearly thirty years ago at Andover Seminary, but has since attained a distinguished place among American divines as an author, preacher and professor. •' Homer is to be studied as the head and representative of Greek poetry. The human mind reached the highest grade of culture that is possible to Paganism in the Greek race ; and the inmost spirit and energy of the Greek intellect is concentrated in the blind bard of Chios. Long continued familiarity with the Iliad and Odyssey imparts force, fire and splendor to the mental character. It also imparts freshness, freedom and enthusiasm. Bouchardon said that while reading Homer, his whole frame appeared to ' himself to be enlarged, and all surrounding Nature to be diminished to atoms. The function of Homer is to dilate and kindle the intellect."—Prof. Shedd's Homiletics, a new book. As a class, the clergy of America have always been strong advocates for a thorough training preparatory to their life-work as Christian ministers and missionaries. A part of that training has been the study of the Greek and Hebrew languages, hence they have been prepared to translate the Bible from the original. It was the knowledge of Greek which enabled the American missionaries on these Islands to prepare a transla tion of the new Testament, not from the English, but the original Greek. Bread on the Waters. A California adventurer was trying to get back to San Francisco from the mines, where he haa worked and searched without success, until his means were exhausted. He came to a river, but the ferry tnnn asked him a dollar to take him across. The adventurer said, " Then I must walk up the stream until I can ford it, for I have not a dollar in the world." "If that is so," said the ferryman, "jump in; I never refuse to take a clever man across because he is broke." When they had reached the opposite shore, the lerryman,who had eyed the adventurer very closely on the way, said " Is not your name Jones ? " "It is," replied the adventurer. street, to live in " And your father useddid," New York?" "He replied the adventurer with astonishment to find himself recognized. Thereupon the ferryman drew from his pocket a bag and began counting out gold pieces. " I have made five hundred dollars by ferrying passengers; here are three hundred of them for you. You can pay me when you are flush, or if that don't happen all right. When I was a little boy, and my mother was a poor widow, many a time has your father visited our home, and when he had gone, somewhere about the room we would find money for a barrel of flour, or to pay the rent when we knew not before where it was to come from ; and so long as i live, if I have a crust, when I find one of his sons in want, he shall get the biggest half." The loan was gratefully accepted ; by its aid the traveler was able to reach San Francisco; earn enough to repay his benefactor, and return safely to his home. : — The Sandwich Islands a Monument of Amewcan Board.—At the monthly Missionary Concert at the vestry of the Eliot Church, last Sunday evening, Mr. Peter C. Jones, Jr., a merchant of the Sandwich Islands, now on a visit to his friends in Newton, was called upon and made some exceedingly interesting remarks upon the present condition of the Sandwich Inlands. These islands, through the efforts of the American Board, have been within a comparatively brief period in the history of nations, redeemed from ignorance and barbarism to civilization, intelligence and religion. But very few indeed, so far as his observations extended, are unable to read and write, education being as free as in this country. The future of these islands is of the most promising character. In view of the present unfavorable financial exhibit of the American Board, this great success should not be forgotten, and the result there attained should encourage its friends to increased contributions for such glorious objects as an entire nation's redemption.— Boston paper. the �THE FRIEND, ADVERTISEMENTS.

Theseand the cargoesarrived show a great improvement over the last reports, which indicated that this season's work would prove a failure. It now appears that the average will not be much below last season's. Up to the middle ofAugust, scarcely a whale had been taken in the Arctic, but after that date they became abundant, and when the weather was good, ships captured whales as fast as they could stow theoil downHhlpmaateri Inform us that the whales in the Arctic thin season differ from those therelast year, they bring for the most part larger and very tame. The general belief is that they came Irom the open Polar Hea or from Greenland, aa they resembled the Greenland whales. The lengthy reports which we publish below, show the trials and whaleships of the Arctic whalemen, more vividly than anything else we can furnish. Finding the season well nigh gone, these hardy fishermen remained out late till thewhales came, and then worked for their owners like heroes, perilling Uvea and ships, with a bravery which is truly commendable. They were determined not to come back until they fouud the whalea and oil, as they did In September. All honor lo the galant sailors whohave lought ice, snow, and storms as bravely as they fought treason in the late war. The ship CorinfAirrn, Lewis, of New Bedford, was lost on Blossom Hhoals, August .'list, and the bark Hae Hawaii of Honolulu, on (teahorse Island, September 23d, with one thousand barrels of oil.
