Truth Told in Jest. I look old. yet ani I strong and lusty; " Though For in my youth I never did apply ; Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo The means of weakness and debility; Therefore my ago is as the lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly." Thus speaks the good old servant "Adam" in Shakespeare's Comedy of " As You Like It." It appears thnt even in Shakespeare's day the ruinous consequences of intemperance were clearly traceable to their known cause. If men will indulge in the sinful practice of imbibing all sorts of vile compounds sold under the names of whisky, brandy, wine, beer, &c., then they should not complain of pains, aches, sorrows, gout, and the untold number of ills which those are heirs to, who will violate the known laws of their physical constitutions.

He died at Lahaina about the middle of last month, and was there buried. He was born in England, and was a clergyman of the Established Church. We became acquainted with him on his arrival, and our correspondence was continued up to the time of his death. In his habits he was very peculiar and retiring, quite disinclined to form acquaintances. He lived 17 \m Seriis, «ol.2». RevolTutii-PnngC n hina. While the civil war was raging in the United States, and vast armies were marching onward to deadly conflict, on the opposite side of the globe there was raging a warfare vastly more destructive of human life, and involving the weal or woe of not merelya few millions,but hundredsof millions of the human nice. From official reports, it appears that no less than two millions eight hundred and seventy-two thousand, five hundred and fifty persons were killed in China (2,872,550) from August, 1860, to September, 1864, or during a period of only four years. There now lies before us a work, in two large volumes of 842 pages, published in London in 1866, and beautifully illustrated. It is printed in superb style, and the large and clear type is refreshing to a person of weak eyes. The title of the work is as follows: Ti-I'ino Tikn-Kwoh ; the History of the Ti-Ping Rer* olution, including a Narrative of the Author's Personal Adventures. By Lin-le, formerly Honorary Officer Chung-wang's Guards j Special Agent of the Ti-Ping General-in-Chief; and late Commander of the Loyal and Faithful Auxiliary Legion."

He went out to China and fought on the side of the revolutionists, somewhat after the same style that the late British Consul, General Miller, went out to South America and joined the army of the revolution, when the reign of the Spanish Viceroys wss overturned. The style of this book resembles General Miller's Memoirs.

The sacrifice of human life alone of the Ti-Ping Revolution exceeded that of the orcat American Keliellion as five to one. The' far reaching results of the Ti-Ping Revolution have only begun to be developed. Among those results we regard Burlingame's Embassy as one. It requires no very deep insight into Chinese politics and affairs to ascertain that had not Hung-Sui-Tshuen and his co-revolutionists brought the Manchoo dynasty to the verge of ruin, the Emperor ol China never would have commissioned the Honorable Mr. Burlingaine to visit America and the Courts of Europe in the capacity of an Ambassador Extraordinary. The careful review of the Ti-Ping Revolution shows what vast changes may be produced, even among so inaccessable a people as the Chinese, by the dissemination of Bible truth. '• Behold how great a matter a little fire kindleth." " For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than a twoedged sword." " I will overturn, overturn, overturn it," saith the Lord, "and it shall be no more, until He comes whose right it is." Chinese Meetings at the Bethel. Since the arrival of our Chinese Colporteur, Mr. S. P. Aheong, he has been holding meetings at the Bethel on the Sabbath, and occasionally during the week. The Sabbath evening meetings have been numerously attended. Last Sabbath not less than one hundred were present, who manifested a most thoughtful attention to the preaching. It appears that among Chinese residing in Honolulu several dialects are spoken, as they came originally from different parts of China. Fortunately our Colporteur speaks at least six of these dialects, and last Sabbath evening made addresses in two. Recently two Chinamen met in a store in Honolulu, and were compelled to converse in the Hawaiian language, because unacquainted with each other's dialect. This fact will indicate bow great are the obstacles lying in the way of laboring for the spiritual and religious welfare of this interesting people, whose minds are so quick and alive to the acquisition of new ideas upon all subjects. We are rejoiced to know that the school organized by Mr. Bonner is still continued under the labors of Mr. Tucker. Mr. Aheong is also teaching. He is endeavoring to organize a singing-school among his countrymen. The time has come when, we hope, our Chinese population will be effectually brought within the sympathies and under the influence of Christians upon the islands. �1 II I American Relief Fund. " For ye have the poor with you always, mid whensoever ye will ye may do them good." Thus spake our Saviour eighteen hundred years ago, and the truth of this utterance hits fieen attested by every day's experience since that time. In older and Christian lands the laws provide for the poor, and as years roll away, Hawaiian legislation tends in that direction. Foreigners residing upon these Islands see that there is a propriety in not expecting the Hawaiians in their poverty will provide for the poor among foreigners ; hence have arisen various benevolent associations to care. Ibr those who would not fall under the protection of sonic consul, or the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges. The Germans have their " Club,"and the English their "St. George's Society," which operate within their legitimate spheres. The oldest voluntary association, however, is the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, which has for seventeen years held on its way, aiding those who might appropriately style themselves '• citizens of the world," but owning allegiance only to the ladies. Five years ago the " American Relief Fund Association " wits organized, which holds its annual meeting on Washington's Birthday. We desire to call the attention ofall Americans, not only in Honolulu, but on all parts of the Hawaiian Islands, to the importance of vigorously and systematically sustaining this Fund. A brief report of its operations during- the past twelve months will be found in our columns. The pressing calls upon this Association indicate its necessity and importance. We are not going to expend our time or waste our ink in arguing the propriety of all true and well-to-doAmericans subscribing lo this Fund. No American is worthy of the HUM who demurs, hesitate* or declines subscribing, and yet there arc residing in Honolulu and elsewhere on the Islands, many " Fourth of July " and "spread eagle" Americans, whose names have never been enrolled among the subscribers to this Fund. Wo now call upon them, one and nil, lo come forward. Do not dodge the appeal by the reply that yon are Hawaiians, but pay your tuxes. So do suh»cril>ers pay their taxes for the support of the Hawaiian Government. I><> not dodge tbe appeal by saying, "Oh, we aid privately our poor friends." So do the subscribers. This organization does away with those "subscription papers" which were formerly so freely and frequently circulated. A. J.

This is an important point. To KKIKM). MARCH. I8« 9. it we cnll attention. Now the business is done systematically and efficiently. While the officers of the Association may do their duty, yet the transaction of the business nnd the management of the affair has fallen into the hands of our efficient nnd worthy President, A. J. Curtwright, Esq., whose " labor of love " has resulted in ■ vast amount of good. Having Witnessed tbe practical working of the Association, we cannot sjienk in two flattering terms of our President's BeaJ. and fidelity.

Among our obituary notices will be found the record of the deuth of Alexander H. Houston, Esq. His arrival on the coast dates to the ever memorable year, '49, when so many of the enterprising young men of America left their homes in the Eastern States to lay the foundation and build up a new State on the Pacific coast. He came full of ardor and enterprise, and his career during the last twenty years has been identified with the public works and enterprises of Californiu. He has stood among the men of the first rank, commanding the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. Having at' tamed a position, when he fondly hoped to retire and enjoy in foreign travel the fruits of his labors in the sharp conflict of life, he found himself compelled by sickness to seek a milder clime, hoping thereby to recover his declining health and energies. God, however, who "seeth not as man seeth," so ordered that he should come among strangers and end his earthly career. His brief sojourn in Honolulu was sufficient to enlist the sympathies of friends in his welfare, and a goodly number assembled lust Sabbath afternoon at his late residence to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. His death will be mourned among his numerous friends on the Coast, and his loss severely felt among his former business acquaintances in San Francisco. Letters from Honolulu Editors Abroad We were rejoiced to receive full letters from our editorial brethren of the Advertiser and Gazette. The former is still in San Francisco, and writes hopefully respecting the recovery of his hearing. He may or may not return per next " Idaho." If by remaining he can recover his hearing, may he remain all summer; but if not, we shall be most happy soon to welcome him home. Our letter from Dr. Smith, at Washington, was dated in the early part of January. He was laboring away at " Reciprocity." Supposing Mr. Whitney returns with hearing restored, and Dr. Smith with '• reciprocity" achieved, we would suggest that the U. S. Government send them back on a government vessel, and then let them inaugurate tbe " era of good feeling" among Hono- luluans! By the Cambridge we are glad to welcome Mr. E.

Young man, will you this day begin to serve Christ ? " God sent power with these words. The young man stood up before the congregation, and said in un humble tone. Yes, " sir, I will.'* That very day was the beginning of eternal life in the young man*s soul. Reader, depend upon it, the two answers which Mr. Doolittle got that day are the experience ofall true Christians. Depend upon it, no man ever repents of repentance. No man was ever sorry that he served the Lord. No man ever said, at the end of his days, I have read my Bible too moth. 1 have thought of God too much. I have prayed too much. I have been too careful about mv soul." Oh, no! The people of God woulil always say. "Had I to live my life over again, I woulil walk far more closely with God than ever I have done. lam sorry that I have not served God better; but 1 am not sorry that 1 have served him. The way of Christ may have its cross ; but it is a way of pleasantnesss, and a path of peace." Header, cast fear away, and begin to lie a true Christian without delay. Kepent and lie converted. Take up the cross nnd follow Christ. There may be trials to be borne, and battles to lie fought in the way to heaven. But never doubt for a moment that Christ's service is the best service. Godliness is profitable in the highest sense. It pays. " The ship Gulden Rule, Capt. Hall, on the passage from San Francisco to Liverpool with a valuable cargo, when off Cope Horn. damaged her mainmaat so badly that sail could not l«- carried on it. Capt. Hall immediately went to work and built around the tottering mast a circle of spare spars, which he securely lashed and wedged to it, and in this condition performed the rest of the passago without putting into Kio Janeiro or any intermediate port for another mast. Capi. Penhallow, who was then the agent of the underwriters in Europe, called their attention to the merits of Capt. Hall, and they promptly responded by making him a present of §600 cash. Her Majesty's Board of Trade of London have recently sent, through the British Consul at Philadelphia, a letter to Capt. J. Head, of Providence, stating thnt the Board bad awarded to him a telescope, in recognition of his services in rescuing from drowning a shipwrecked crew of nine persons, belonging to the British ship Ilelicovc, on the 13th of March last. The men had been nine diys without food, and were almost famished. Capt. Head was at the time master of the bripantiuc Jnmes Baker, hailing from Philadelphia, and he landed the unfortunate sailors at Gun Key. A Great Cathedral.—The Roman Cath- olics of London are about to erect a cathedral that will rival any of the cathedrals of the Continent. The site selected is in Westminister, near Buckingham .Palace. The ground alone which it is to occupy has cost no less than $200,000. It will be the first recognized Roman Catholic Cathedral in England since the days of Queen Mary. �lli X rR 11 MO, MARCH, 186 9 ADVEE.TISETVT.ENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. ft V BARTOW, Anrtlonrcr, S.

A man may id some sort tic his hopes and his honors to this weak, shifting ground tackle, to his business, or the world, but a woman without that nnchcr called faith, is a drift and a wreck. A man muyt'lumsily continue u sort of moral responsibility out of relation to mankind ; but u woman in her compnranvely isolated sphere, whereaffection nnd no purpose is the controlling motive, can find no basis in any other system or right action but ttint of faith. A iikiii may craze his brain or lus thought:- to truthfulness, and such poor harborage as fame and reputation may stretch before him, but a woman, where can she put her hopes in storms, if not in heaven ? And that sweet truthfulness—that abiding love— that enduring hope, mellowing every page and scenes of life—lighting them with pleasant radiance, when the world's storms break like an army with cannon—who can bestow its all but a holy soul, tied to what is stronger than an army with cannon ? Who has enjoyed the love of a Christian mother but will echo the thought with energy and hallow it with a tear." The Forged Will. A few years since, a man of high respectability was tried in England on a charge of forging a will, in which it was discovered he had an indirect interest to a large amount. Samuel Warren, the celebrated author of the Diary of a Physician," etc., was associated "with the Prosecuting Attorney, and the case wns tried before Lord Dentnan. The prisoner being arraigned and the formalities gone through with, the prosecutor, placing his thumb over the seal, held up the will and demanded of the prisoner if he had seen the testator sign the instrument; to which he promptly answered, he had. you sign it at his request as " And didwitness subscribing ?"

English authorities, without any observations, ssauins this datum to be erroneous,and conjecture the figures should be ft to 7 feet. The accompanying tide tableexhibita tbe result of Professor Davidson's observationsfor two rooothi In 1807, comblucd with other series made In 1866 and 1841. From theobservations of ISO 7alone the plane of reference, lfr.O feet, was deduced and used. This table enables the nsvigator to calculate the lime and heights of every high aud low water with reasonable pre* cislon. The tides partake of the regular Hacltlc type, and these of the present day are generally unequal in proportion to the increase of tbe moon's declination: moon's houVm MCLinaTIIHt. ; did ? " "ldid."
