Job remarks, " Now my days are swifter than a post; they flee away ; they are passed as the swift ships ; as the eagle that hasteth to his prey;" and again, "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle." These are most expressive similes illustrative of the rapidity of time. The flying post rider, the swift darting eagle, the rapid sailing ships and quick-sped shuttle are apt figures. Jeremy Taylor commenting upon the last, remarks, " Morning sends the shuttle on to evening and evening back to morning, until death cuts the web of life from the loom of time."

Honolulu, doing wlial ?—yes, what ? ■• , �VIII I, Mi, J,.MA It \ 111 I 2 XIVth Annual Report of the Honolulu Sailor's Home Society. We hnve high autho/ity for asserting that is known by its fruits. If this princiis not pressed with too much rigidity, we ple are quite willing the Home should stand or fall upon its application. As it was the design of its founders to establish nnd maintain a good temperance boarding house for senmen and others who might avail themselves of its privileges, we propose to introduce the testimony of those who have lieen inmntes of the establishment. Two tables have always been spread for those wishing to board in the Home. During the last few weeks Capt Smith nnd his excellent wife, of the American whaling bark Seine, have been inmates of the Home. That vessel sailed last week, and after she had left the port Mrs. Smith addressed a letter to the Seaman's Chaplain, from which we make the following extract. This letter was entirely unexpected and una tree solicited : Off HonoLtrMT, Dec 23, ISfis. Mr. Damon Dear Sir ; —I cannot think of leaving Honolulu without expressing my thanks for the kind attentions shown me by Mrs. D., as well ns by Mrs. C, Mrs. G. and Mrs. S. And here too let me express my admiration of the Sailor's Home, and its most excellent manager, Mrs. Crabbe. I was delighted with its quiet, its perfect order, its excellent table, nnd the well-bred boarders whom 1 daily met there. I consider it a first class boarding house, and all strangers visiting Honolulu would patronize it, if they could be benefited by my experience. They would not only find Mrs. Crabbe a superior landlady, but a kind and sympathizing friend, whom to know would be to respect and love. My husband joins with me in expressions of gratitude to these truly excellent friends — whom I have named, and he desires that you will publish this iv the Friend; and adds, that if God permits us again to return to our native shores, we shall continue to subscribe for your interesting paper, both for ourselves and friends. Respectfully yours, Mrs. E. S. H. Smith, Bark Seine. The additional testimony comes from a Swedish sailor, who came sick and destitute to Honolulu from San Francisco. As he could not gain admission to the United States Marine Hospital, he cast himself upon Mrs. Crabbe's generosity and hospitality at the Home. We make the following extract from a written statement which he made to the Bethel church before uniting with it last October i 1 came to this porl about twelve months " ago from San Francisco for the benefit of my health. 1 was diseased in both body and soul. I went to board at the Sailor's Home, poor as poor could be; but I believe the Lord directed my steps thither, for I was there by the good people pointed to the healer of soul and body, and urged to seek to-day, . Is 6 il. and not to wuit until to-morrow. Thanks lie lo Cod, I was brought to see the danger of putting off this most important of all things. I was brought up by pious parents, and was early made acquainted with God's word as it is given in the Bible, though I had then no real liking for it. But by the help of God's spirit, many precious words were now brought to my mind, and a few weeks after my arrival I was ennbled to believe that God for Christ's sake had forgiven all my sins. 1 felt as if I had made an earthly fortune ; I know I could not have felt more happy. I lost all desire after the world, for what is it but vanity.' 1 felt I was adopted into the household of faith. I could say with regard to the cure of my body, ' Thy will be done.' I soon found that instead nf getting liotter. I was getting worse. At last I was too weak to do any work. Through the kindness of Mr. D. and the Ladies' Stranger* Friend Society, I was admitted to tbe Queen's Hospital. I feel truly grateful to those people, thrbuch whom the Lord is so wonderfully caring for me." In regard to this man. we would remark that he still lingers at the Hospital, although during the last shipping season he returned to the Home, and for two months and more kept the Depository. As his health is still declining, he will not probably again lie able to leave tfie Hosnital. While an inmate of the Home, he boarded in the seaman's department. Other similar testimony respecting the manner in which the Home is conducted by Mrs. Crabbe might he adduced, if ' necessary. As years roll away, we see more and more the necessity of sustaining this establishment. It is well nigh made self-supporting. We have sometimes thought, if less so, and the community was called upon more frequently and urgently for funds, it would prove advantageous. In view of all the difficulties attending the boardingand lodging department, and otherwise sustaining such an institution, we congratulate the founders, patrons and friends of the Honolulu Sailor's Home in its success, prosperity and usefulness.

Oahu College.-We are glad to learn that the new term opens at Punahou with a full school of sixty pupils, and the prospect of additional pupils. The usefulness of that institution was never greater than at present. It is blessed with a full corps of able teachers, who are interested in their work, and inspire the pupils with ambition to excel. We visited the school at the close of the last term, in company with Judge Hartwell, and were most favorably impressed with the discipline and scholarship of the institution. Arrangements have recently been made to enlarge the library accommodation, and we should be glad to learn that some generous minded person had presented the institution with 8500, more or less, wherewith to purchase new and standard books for the library, and also that a good telescope had been presented to the philosophical department. The time may come, and perhaps soon, when an effort should be made to increase the endowment, and add a professorship of Natural History. The College must keep in advance ofall other literary institutions on the Islands. �Annual Meeting of Honolulu Sailor's Home SoCIBTY.—This meeting was held at tbe Home, agreeable to public notice, on Monday morning at 11 o'clock, President S.

"Come Over and Help Us."—There is a Macedonian call lor more ministers ol (he Gospel to leave the Eastern States and cross the Kocky Mountains and preach the Gospel in Washington Territory, Oregon and California We recently met one of our old friends, Capt. Swift, formerly master of a whalcship, but now settled in Washington Territory. His neighbors and his own fam ily earnestly desire a Congregational minister from the East to come and preach where he. is located, near Paget Sound. Other localities demand Methodist ministers. The cull is loud for earnest and self-denying men. On the coast of America, west of the Kocky Mountains, 60,000 from China have become located, demanding at least twenty Chinese missionary colporteurs, but we can hear of only some half a dozen engaged in this work. The fide of immigration is pouring into that part of the world, anil the call is for more laborers. The fields are white to the. harvest. Thanksgiving Sermon. —In the Stockton Daily liulcpendent. for November 28th, we find an interesting Thanksgiving Sermon by the Key. James A. Daly, entitled, "Our Cause, our Equipment, our Struggle." If Mr. Arthur Alexander, will call upon the Chaplain, he will hear good news from bis father in Washington, D. C. We would acknowledge a file of the San Francisco Tunes from Purser McLellan, of the Idaho. .. liS« I. Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress in China. The Key. Mr. Doolittle, author of a recent work on China, writes the following remarks respecting the Rev. Mr. Burns, a Scottish missionary recently deceased, who has translated Banyans Pilgrim's Progress into the Chinese. Mr. Burns' death is noticed in all the English and American missionary publications. For several years before going to China he was a settled pastor in Scotland, and an intimate friend of the lamented McCheyne of blessed memory. "Mr. Burns had an extraordinary facility of acquiring a new dialect. He acquired the Canton, the SwatoW, the Amoy, the Pub Chun nnd the Mandarin dialects, und beside: had ■ good knowledge of the hook language, or the style found in books. A> an author he has done a great work. He prepared and published a translation of Bunynn's Pilgrim* Progress in the classical or book style, and also in the Mandarin dialect. These form standard works in the Christian literature of China. He prepared hymn books in the Amoy, the Swatow, the Full Chan and the Mandarin dialects, llu also prepared a translation of the Book ol Psalms, and a volume called the ' Peep of Day,'after the general plan of the English book having that name, omitting the questions. These volumes remain a standing and permanent monument of his literary ability. •• But .Mr. Burns' special delight was in preaching the Gospel to the Chinese, whether in the streets or in the chapel, whether to Christians or heathens. He eminently succeeded in making himself understood, and in interesting those of his auditors who listened with attention. He had some marked peculiarities of labor which it would not be well for missionaries generally to adopt or imitate. He was unwilling to administer the rite of baptism to converts from heathenism, or to take the charge of a congregation of believers worshiping statedly in a certain place. He wanted nothing to do with the supervision of native churches, or with the discipline of church-members. He loved to preach the (fospel. He seemed to feel as did Paul, ' Wo is unto me ij I pn-each not the Gospel.' "-N. Y. Evangelist. ago (Jen. William Williams, of Norwich, commenced the systematic, visiting of the schools in New London County, which he continued for nearly twenty years, visiting from 160 to 165 schools every year. After completing New London County, he extended his labors into Windham County,and some other portions of theStnte. He became known to the children generally in those towns, and was everywhere gratefully recognized as their friend and benefactor. 1 have had occasion, more than once, to observe with what interest and affection he is greeted and cherished by tlsa children. On the lliih of .March lust. I made a journey from New Haven to Norwich, to congratulate him on the eightieth Anniversary of his birthday, and express iiiv grateful appreciation of bis serenes iv behalf ol schools, His long and practical sympathy with children has largely helped to keep this venemble octogenarian vigorous in bofiy, clear in mind, nnd young at heart. He snhJ tome that day, 'My visits to the schools have given daily joy to my heart, and added years to my life.' " Would that those who are piiiinii from nothing to do,' would follow ihis noble example, and grow young and useful by visit- ' ing schools." A Word Fitly Spoken.—Major General Howard addressed ft large audience iv ihe college chapel at Amherst, Mass. In the course of his remarks, while appealing to ihe students, as their first preparation for any ef- fectual life work, to become Christian men. he said that on the day previous, while on the cars, a young man with his left arm gone, came along selling books. " Where did you lose your arm ?" inquired the General. "At Chancellorsville," was the reply. "In what regiment were you ?'' "In the Vermont." " That regiment was in my brigade," said the General. " But, sir, that brigade was Gen. Howard's." " And my name is Howard." The young man was so overjoyed he scarcely knew how to express his delight. He wanted ihe General to accept a book, and seemed very desirous of expressing his gratitude. After going for a little while into another car, he returned and said, " Excuse me, General, for saying a few words more. I want to tell yon >fa conversation I hud with you in camp. I went to you for permission to get some whisky. You refused, and asked me if I ever drank. 1 replied that I did sometimes on picket. Then you said something to me which made mc resolve never again to drink a drop of intox icating liquors. I have not tasted strong drink since, and 1 think now that I am a Christian too, as ■ result of your remarks to me." Such a meeting and such a conversation between these two one-armed warriors must have been ft touching scene. General W. Williams, of Norwich, Ct. It is known that this gentleman is one of the patrons of Oahu College, and has given for its endowment. The following paragraph from the annual report of the Secretary of the Board of Education in Connecticut, will indicate that the General is interested in the cause of education at home as well as abroad " The Secretary himself, B.

We refer to the writer of that article in the "Overland Monthly," entitled, "Social Life in the Tropics."

Look at the subject in another light for a moment. lie is a great coward, for by the old -code of honor" none but an arrant coward will insult a woman, a child or a clergyman. That the writer has grossly insulted the ladies of Honolulu, no one will doubt who has read the article, and if the writer has not insulted a clergyman, he has done What is far meaner—repeated a stale joke to the missionary's discredit. Hence we say, let the writer go us worthless who iv his flight hps. like the flying Parthian, shot a poisoned arrow behind, which has fallen short of its mark. NIW COMaUMCUL I'/NI KKl'lilsi; IN Till.

On the Marshall Islands and Ascension the good cause isprogresfting.

If any of our missionary friends on the Islands possess the odd volume now wanting of " Pliny's Epistles," we should be most glad to have them communicate with the editor.

Cuyler writes fo the Evangelist : There is one serious mistake made by many good people when they try to reform an inebriate ; and also with the inebriate himself when he makes an efTort at emancipation. They regard drunkenness simply as a sin, and bring all their efTorts to bear on the conscience. But drunkenness is also a physical disease, and should be treated as such. A drunkard may, by the grace of God, be sptiituully converted, and yet his physical disease may not be subdued. John Vine Hall (tho eminent father of our eminent brother Newman Hall) was a sincere Christian for several years before he became a thoroughly sober man. He would go occasionally right away from the family altar and the communion-table into a desperate and disgraceful " spree." At length he discov- ered that his only hope of recovery from his disease lay in entire abstinence from all intoxicants, and then he became a cured man. The system pursued in the best Inebriate Asylums is to stop off the patient at once, and entirely, from all alcoholic stimulants. Gradual reform is found to be impossible. And it is just there—just when the bottle is being forced away from the enfeebled, deranged and poisoned system of the poor tippler—that the great danger and difficulty lie. For this "devil" when he is "cast out," tears his victim frightfully. Just then the man needs not only prayer, and the grace of God ; he also needs physical treatment of the right kind. A member of my own church,—who had, by tampering with the social cup, fallen into the disease of drunkenness—took a solemn pledge of total abstinence "in reliance on the grace of God." But be also used Valerian for " several days to keep up his shattered frame ; he used the most wholesome diet, and he " . IN(> kept resolutely away from the ihjhl and smell of every kind of intoxicant, lie is today ■ cured man, and a devoted Christian. One-half of the drunkenness in the world springs from mental misery. It is trouble which tills the grog-shops. Men drink to drown sorrow, to brace up shattered nerves, or lo forget for a lew hours their distress ol body und mind. To help some drunkards, we must do all we can lo relieve them from the troubles that drive them to the CUB. A laboring man in the neighborhood fell into drunkenness through poverty and want of employment. In reforming him, our first step was to induce him to sign a pledge,and ihe next was to get hilii u place to work. The " Sons of Temperance " introduced him inio their fellowship and sympathy; he ia doing well. There is hope now for his'soul. Chrisiinuity must proceed on the principles of common sense if it would save a person who is both guilty of heinous sinand the victim of horrible disease. When we seen man falling inlo trouble— citherin his business or in his domestic•life— we always tremble for him lest he may five lo the cup which drowns sorrow by drowning ihe conscience. We would mil answer for the safety of any professed Christian who, cither to brace up a weak body or lo relieve a troubled mind, should touch even a gill of wine. God has provided enough of ionics for the body, and of spiritual supports for the oiiffering or desponding heart. He never Commands His children to use the Devil's medicines. To those who wish to study the best statement made lately on the physical phenomena of drunkenness, we would commend the able and entertaining article of Mr. Barton on Inebriate Asylums" in the Atlantic Monthly for October. It may furnish valuable hints to those who are praying and striving to save beloved friends from the terrible dominion of strong drink. 9, Normal SCHOOL AMONG THE Freedmen.The Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, under the auspices of the American Missionary Association und the management of Gen. S. C. Armstrong, of the Freedmen's Bureau, was opened at Hampton, V;i., in April hist, und is now in operation with ;i class of forty-five colored students of both sexes, uveraging about nineteen years ofage. The young men work lour or live hours n day, under the direction of Mr. Theodore Sanselain, un experienced market gardener from New Jersey, on a " truck " firm connected with the institution. The female department, presided over by Miss Elizabeth Brock, ol Northampton. -Muss., is conducted after the manner of Mi. h]olyoke Female Seminary.' Tbe students, who thus pay nearly nil their own expenses, are select scholars from schools in Virginia and North and Soulh Carolina, and enter upon u three years' course of study, with tin' inlcntion ol becoming teachers. They are under the instruction of the Misses Williams, of Synth Deerficld, Mas.-. Commodious buildings, ivell-liii'iiished rooms, and many of the appointments of a complete training-school, have been provided, together with a wellordered burin, at an expense of over $10,OUO. The undergraduates are now teaching tin: primary colored school.- of Hnmplou with good success. The design of this institution U to prove thai labor and study can go well together, and thus to raise up a corps of colored educators lor the South, mainly through 'heir own efforts, who shall tench not only the rudiments of study, but bow to farm profitably and live rightly.— N.

It is equally certain that the different events were not due to similar electrical or other atmospheric conditions ; for in thnt case it is not possible that the effects should have been felt only as they were. There is still open the possibility that the shock from South Americn was communicated directly through the diameter of the earth—that the vast explosive force which broke up the crust on one side wns felt at the exactly opposite side of the sphere. Perhaps this fact in the history of the recent earthquake —that shocks were felt in the Punjnub—may yet stand in the catalogue as the best of many arguments for the fluid condition of the centre of the earth.—iV. Y. Herald. The Earthquake at Juan Fernandez.A lgtter from on bonrd bark Ml. Wollaston, of this port, dated at sea off Valparaiso, August 28th, states that nu the 14th of August she was lying oil' and on at Juan Fernandez, the captain with two boats' crews on shore, for wood and water. They heard a noise all day like that of distant thunder. At 8 o'clock in the evening, a report near them like the dischnrge of a cannon wns heard, when immediately the earth opened between the settlement and the. beach (only a few rods), from which opening issued fire, smoke and lava, boiling in the same manner as brine when boiling water is poured upon it. At the same instant the tidal wave swept the beach clean, taking Irom the beach all the boats, including those of the Mt. Wollaston. In a few minutes the sea became calm afW signals were made to the ship, and two boats went to their assistance. Those on board the ship did not know that anything unusual had transpired until they saw the signal. The ship proceeded immediately to sea without procuring wood nnd water.— New Bedford Standard. lIKI'AKII KK.s. wb ship On llnwbiiiil, ftaoaass, I* mum. I nii-, wit bk Oriole, Hayes in erui--.
