Most sincerely we regretted that our lhniied time would not allow us the privilege of attending the commencement exercises, which began on the very Sabbath (June 20th) we were permitted to spend in Delaware. We did however enjoy the opportunity of listening to the Baccalnureate sermon preached in the village Methodist church at '3 o'clock P. M. It was delivered by the Rev. Dr. B. F. Cocker, pastor of the Methodist church at Ann Harbor, Michigan. The preacher chose for his text Acts xvii: 26, 27: "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth; and hath determined the times before ap- — coast. ! �1 II E I his petulant reply when the young Virginian volunteer modestly ventured to utter a word of caution to beware of an Indian surprise. Benjamin Franklin had also ventured to caution the British commander upon the same point before thearmy left Philadelphia, but replies the over confident General, " These savages may indeed be a formidable enemy to your raw American militia, but upon the King's regular and disciplined troops, sir, it is impossible they should make any impression." Franklin in his home-spun style, remarks in his autobiography, " When I heard that, said no more." This is a most beautiful region. The scenery is very fine. The surrounding hills and the intervening valleys, with the Monongahela meandering along on its way to join the Alleghany at Pittsburg, where they form the beautiful Ohio, all combined present such a picture of loveliness, beauty and grandeur, that the beholder is quite lost in its contemplation. Great numbers of visitors annually resort to this spot, rendered so famous in the colonial history of ourcountry. It was an event which undoubtedly had an important influence upon the minds of the colonists, and fostered the idea that there was a possibility of successfully withstanding a British army in the field of battle. The whole transaction," remarks Franklin, "gave us the first suspicion that our exalted ideas of the prowess of British regular troops had not been well founded." All historians agree, however, in lauding the gallantry and bravery of General Braddock on European battle-fields, but having never served in America, he was ignorant of the peculiarity of the country, and would not take advice, even from his best friends. " COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT AMHERST, MASS. Before leaving the Islands, it was our design to lie present at the commencement, exercises at Amherst College. Such are the railroad facilities for travel, and time tables are so admirably arranged, that we reached Amherst at midnight on the 3d, and the exercises commenced on the Sabbath, the 4th of July. The first day is styled fiaccalaiti; rlt, Sl/lli/'li/. The services were opened by a celebration of the Lord's Supper, Sabbath morning, in the Collrge chapel. There was no sermon, but President Steams, pastor of the College church, was assisted by President Fairchild, of Oberlin College. About two-thirds of the undergraduates are members of the College church. The exercises were solemn and impressive. In following our Saviour's example „th«y- •* sung a hymn " and separated. We were interested in the circumstance (bat the hymn should have lieen that most beautiful lyrical composition written by Sir John Bowring, His Hawaiian Majesty's Envoy 99 lIIKMi. DECEMBER, 1869. Extraordinary to the governments of Europe. It commencesthus: " In the cross of Christ I glory. Towering nYr the wrecks of time ; All the liglit ol H,icred story Bathsn round its head Buliliine," dec. The same hymn we noticed was sung when the graduating class at Andover Theological Seminary separated at the anniversary last year, IS6B. This hymn is a favorite among Orthodox Christians, yet was composed by a statesman and diplomatist known to be firmly Unitarian in his religions sentiments. He is also author of the oftsung hymn, commencing, '' Walrliiiiiiii nil ns ~f ill,, ni^lil." President Steams preached the Baccalaureate sermon before a large and appreciative audience at 3, P. M. He chose for his text Exodus xix:s: "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then shall ye Iki -a peculiar treasure unto me." As it was the 4th of July, the President's method of treating his subject was strongly seasoned with patriotic sentiments. He announced his theme, " The opportunity and meaning of America among the nations." After giving a rapid sketch of the history of Christianity, and making marked allusion to the history of the Pilgrim Fathers, the speaker portrayed our country's late struggle. He remarked, 1. America means universal freedom. 2. America means universal education. 3. America means Christianity. These several points were illustrated and enforced by references to history and the present state of our country. The President offered some remarks, designed to allay the fears of those who imagine that Catholicism will yet overspread America and blot out Protestantism. The following summary of his remarks upon this subject we copy from the Amherst /Student: "As to Romanism, we must take no counsel of our fears. Catholicism has a better side. We read mostly the works of its enemies. Romanism is nearly the same now as it was in the medieval ages, when it embodied the Christianity of the world. Besides, Romanian! never has been and never can be the same in this country as in Europe. The Catholics in Maryland were the authors of the noblest act of toleration. All the influences in this country are against its becoming here what it is in Europe. If all the Romanism in Europe should come to us, it could not find us. But even Romanism is unspeakably better than irreligion or infidelity. Rome is an apostacy, but it has the gospel, though under perversion. It can never rise in this country to the dignity of an argument against Protestantism." In conclusion, the President made a solemn appeal to the members of the graduatinf class to be true and faithful to their country and the Church of Christ. ADDRESSES BEFORE THE RELIGIOUS AND LITERARY SOCIETIES. An annual address before the Society of Religious Inquiry is delivered by some distinguished divine. This year President Fair- child, of Oberlin, was selected. This address was carefully prepared and thoughtfully elaborated, upon this theme, " The Decline of the Religious Sentiment." He spoke of religion as involving three elements: Ist, Intellectual 2d, Emotional ; and 3d, Ethical. The discussion of this subject indicated a ; thoughtful preparation. The nereraea of commencement wetk were varied by IWo other orations or addresses of marked excellence. We refer lo Prof. Diman's address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and Senator Patterson's before the Social Union. The former, that of Professor Diinan, was upon "Academic Culture." Perhaps no better illustration of the, subject could be furnished than the address itself. It was beautifully written, and most scholarly in all its reasoning. There was a finish, a polish, </ cultun so interwoven and rounding off its paragraphs, that the hearer was impressed with the idea that the speaker communed more with the great scholars and master spirits of past ages, than with the ephemeral authors of the present day. Professor Dimau is connected with Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island. Senator Patterson's oration before the Social Union, or Union of the Literary Societies of the College, was a discussion of the theme, " Education in its Relations lo the State." Senator Patterson's high position as a member of the United States Senate, his characteras a scholarof varied culture,and his decided Christian sentiments, awakened a lively anticipation, which the delivery of the oration by no means lowered or weakened. The orator's fine and scholarly countenance, intellectual forehead, and commanding address, caused the audience to expect much ; hence when " thoughts that breathe and words that burn " flowed forth, all felt that it was good to be there, within the precincts of Amherst College. Our limits will not allow us to dwell minutely upon the " prize declamations " of the Freshman and Sophomore cla Neither can we specify lbs several orations of the graduating class. These performances indicated that Amherst College students of the present day fully sustained the character of the institution of a former generation, when such men were undergraduates as Governor Bullock, Key. H. Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Stoers, Bishop Huntingdon, Rev. Dr. Hitchcock of Union Theological Seminary, Professor Hackett of Newton Seminary, Professor B. B. Edwards of Andover Seminary, the Rev. Dr. Perkins of Oroomiah, and a host of others. most , �100Amherst rii k i 1.1 k \ i). di; College has been sending forth graduates for nearly fifty years.

The following statistics will indicate the growth and character of the institution : 1,82!) Vhole number of graduates, linisters of the gospel, 751 'oreign missionaries, 75 129 'hysiciuns, 180 lawyers and judges, 'rofessors and teachers, 208 Amherst graduates are now to be found in all parts of the world, and occupying positions of influence and importance. Probably no American college has sent forth more mis- - --- sionaries to foreign lands. Some have gone to Asia, others to Africa, and others to the islands of the sea. One of the most interesting gatherings of commencement week is the Alumni meeting and the Alumni reunion. Then convene those long separated, who come together to renew their acquaintance and brighten up their friendships. The utmost cordiality and kindly feeling prevail. Memories of college life of a former generation are brought into review. The names are reported of those who have been removed by death. When the graduates of former years return, it is delightful and refreshing to listen to their personal history—sometimes sad, sometimes amusing, and never uninteresting. It was our privilege to graduate in 1S!16, just thirty-three years ago. We now met only three of our fellow-graduates, but each representing one of the learned professions, viz : L. C. Kellogg, Judge of Vermont, Nathan Allen, M. D., of Lowell, Mass., and the Rev. Professor Roswcll D. Hitchcock, of New York city. The record of each is most honorable to himself and the profession which he has chosen. During commencement week we improved the opportunity to wander about the College premises and revisit old haunts, many of which recalled scenes of former days, highly calculated to suggest trains of useful reflection, while not a few spois reminded us of incidents admirably suited " To point a moral uih) ailorn a lale." SITE FOR AMHERST COLLEGE WELL CHOSEN. Great improvements have been made upon the College grounds during the last few years. Buildings of great architectural beautyhave been erected, and others are in process of erection. The institution is now well endowed, and manned by an able corps of professors and tutors, at the head of whom stands President Steams, who is a graduate of "old Harvard." During his presidency the College has been raised from its low estate of poverty. Liberal donations from wealthy friends of the institution began to be ( B ill 1.1; k.is b made during the lifetime of President Hitchcock, that learned geologist and scholar of natural science, who was emphatically one of Nature's noble men. We found only two professors remaining who taught in our colleg* days. We refer to Professors Snell and Tyler. Long may they there be permitted to labor with their present associates. We were impressed in our youthful days with the Amherst as an admirable site for a collegiate institution, but on our revisiting the spot our early impressions have been greatly deepened. It is a most beautiful region. The view from the College tower is one of surpassing loveliness, beauty and grandeur. We have never beheld anything to surpass it in all of our wanderings in North or South America, or the islands of the sea. The panorama is complete. On the north rises Sugar Loaf Mountain, standing as a sentinel, overlooking and guarding the- beautiful valley of the Connecticut. To the east Pelhain Hills stretch away, on whose sides woodland and cultivated fields are beautifully blended. To the south there is a range of hills, terminating with Mount Holyoke, of world-wide renown ; while to the west lies the " Norwood'" of Mr. Beecher and the valley of the Connecticut, along which the bcnutiful river by that name wends its way to Long Island Sound. With Holland, in " Kathrina," we can join our voice : il Thou lovely v;ile of sw,i t-st slpnhii thatll„ws, WhiilhiK mill willow-fritigeil eiiiiiioclii'ill, Swilily to illy fairtsl actacs i,i_\ limy Meg As I recall Ihe story " of my college days. In that beautiful valley we spent five and a half years, first as an academy student, and then as a collegian. It was just one-tenth of our life. It was at a most impressible period of existence. Friendships were then formed which have been life-long. It was delightful after having spent so many years in a foreign laud, to return and revisit that pleasant region. Our visit was in early July, just the season when Nature was fully robed, and the whole atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of the new-mown hay or the perfume of the cultivated fields and beautiful gardens. While looking out upon these scenes as we rode along the highway, walked under the shade of the majestic elm, strolled over the pleasure grounds, or surveyed the whole surrounding region from the College tower, the lines of the poet Campbell were suggested to mind '• The Uueen of Ihe Spriur; as riM pasasal down the Vara. Left herrobe on the trees anil her hreaOi mi ih.- (as ." In the very centre of this valley, on a com- : manding eminence, is located Amherst College. As years and ages roll away, may the youth of New England and America resort thither to pursue their studies preparatory to the labors, toils and conflicts of professional life, and from those halls, consecrated to learning, science and religion, may they go forth to make this world better. Should this result follow, the pious founders and generous patrons of Amherst College will find their prayers answered and their efforts crowned with a divine blessing. 9. CaBboiny'sJocher. ying ailor. TheDS ByREV. JAMES BEECHER. 1 have had some pleasing reflection:, concerning the happy death of a poor fellow whom I found in one of the sailor boardinghouses ashore, and took on hoard my residence, that he might at least have a decent place to die in. A fouler hole than that from which I took him, can scarcely be imagined. There were no less than fourteen man-o'war's men lying about the floor, dead drunk, while half a dozen more were singing, and shouting, and swearing. The whole air was reeking with the funics of stale tobacco and bad ruin. I was sorry for the blaspneming company,—more sorry even than tor those who, in drugged sleep, were, at least for the time being, incapable of oaths. My ears were stunned, my eyes blinded, my stomach sick, my heart sad and sore. And yet in this den of iniquity lay a human being dying of consumption. Into his shattered lilies poured this steaming, pestilential air. Into his dying cars poured tins even more pestilential flood of filthy und profane babbling. He feared to die, and well he might, for he could not bear to think of a place of punishment worse than that in which be was. And as his hollow cough rung put now and then above all the confusion and noise, it sounded like a death-knell pealing over the lost souls of the whole company. Such, then, was the place where I found this young man. And as I came to his bed side, and told him ! was a minister of the gospel, he turned his face to the wall, and burst into tears. "Oh," said he, "it's too late now, —too late now. I've only a day or two te live,—and what is that to a whole life ol sin. The time is past. I must to go—go." And his voice broke into sobs so overpowering that I feared for his life. I could not pray there,—it seemed u mockery to pray there, and speak of peace. My heart was M full of sadness, and agony even, that prayer was denied me. Said I, «• my poor icliow, you are dying, it is true, and'l can't save you, but you shall at least have a decent place to die in " and by the kind assistance of a friend who lives "with nic, we had him ere long on board my Bethel, in a pleasant room, still and quiet, with pure air breathing all about him, and pure water rippling by his open windows. It seemed as though his heart would overflow with tear of gratitude. "Oh," said he, -it's joy enough to die here." But the best of all is yet to come. He revived at once; and though it was evident ihat his time was short, yet it pleased God to relieve him from pain. For two or three days I read much, and prayed much with him, but could not prevail upon him to pray. ; One night, however, to my surprise, Lheard him through the thin bulkhead which separates our rooms, praying with such earnestness and power, that it seemed as though God were present in the room with him. 1 went to sleep, and awoke about midnight, and still was he wrestling in prayer. I would not break in upon him, but earnestly did I pray for him,—and even to the morning �THE FRIEND, light, without repose, without cessation, did his prayers pour forth. After breakfast I went into his room, and oh, how changed was that sunken face of his ! Sunken it was as ever, but so lighted up by smiles of joy and hope, that I could scarcely believe my eyes ! Tears rolled down bis cheeks, as he clasped my hand, and m broken words tried to tell me how be Was praying, and v mm the LordJetue, not with ray eyes," said he, " for they were shut, and 1 was afraid to open them, but ktn —M here/" laying his hand upon his breast. Long we prayed together,—his excitement passed away, and in its place came such gentle, trusting, peaceful resignation, that I gained a lesson I shall never forget. Gradually he sank day by day,—painless, fearless—even joyful. His two days of life were lengthened to three weeks, And ten minutes before he died, lying in my arms, he looked up, and said, in broken words, " O Mr. 8., God bless you,—God bless you." Said I, " My poor fellow, you have probably only a few minutes to live. Does that hope stand by you still. Is JsMM your hope and your salvation ? " " Yes, yes," said he, and closed his eyes as if in sleep. I laid his head upon the pillow, and thinking that he would doze a little, as he had before done, I stepped into the next room for a few moments' rest ; then my boy called me, and when I ran in he was"just drawing his last breath. No struggle—no pain. His spirit had left as peacefully as though there were no bands to break in "its separation from the body. The following letter was addressed to the Prince of Wales during his visit to the United States in 1860. We state the fact, upon the authority of General Williams, of Norwich, Ct., that after the return of the Prince to England, this letter was printed, accompanied by the English coat of arms, thus indicating that the sentiments expressed in this letter were approved of by the Prince, although hi? example might tend in another direction. The letter has been extensively circulated in the United States in the form of a tract. The copy we forward for publication in the friend was presented to us by General Williams. He is accustomed to circulate great numbers of tracts among the children, youth and those of riper years residing in Norwich and vicinity.

American citizens, with one voice, thank L though ECE M B E 11, 1869. you for your late visit, and trust that Divine Providence may make it a presage of signal good to your nation and our own. We gave you, my Lord, unmistakable evidence of affectionate homage, when " the shout of a king" went up on every hand, and men of all panics cried " God save the Queen," and You, the heir of her illustrious throne ! Hence, in this appeal, 1 shall not disgust you by offering a needless amount of homage, nor degrade myself by making unnecessary apologies. Your likeness is among us in daguerreotypes by thousands, and it may gratify you to know that our artists have in no instance disfigured the countenance of your Royal Highness by the presence of your meerschaum with its noxious fumes. But I am sorry to say that our youth, far and near, have discovered that the Prince whom we delighted to honor is a devotee of this idol—a victim of this master-vice of the age ! Wherever these dear boys trace you in your route, whether on railroads, rivers or lakes, in Canada or Illinois, in Baltimore or Boston, on the heights of Quebec or on the banks of the Potomac, they see you with this idol in your mouth, environed by smoke I have spent ten of the best years of my life in battling tobacco, in warning our rising millions against this fashionable abomination and its affinities, and in forming Bands of Hope. Hence you compel me to tell you, my Lord, that your example has been contagious, and in this particular pernicious. We were afflicted with juvenile smokers before. These young Etna* were about us in abundance. But now our tobacconists, urged by cupidity, are rapidly manufacturing the Prince of"Wales Cigars, and, by this fascinating brand, our urchins and dandies are fast copying this vice of yours, who may never copy your virtues. I hate tobacco as Lord Nelson hated a Frenchman. " 1 will fight a Frenchman," was his language, " wherever I can find him ; wherever he can anchor, my ship shall be there." Hence, even your Koyal Highness may expect no quarter for this vice ; for, God helping me, I will battle it alike on a throne or in a dungeon.

My Lord : I am informed that God has endowed you I) 101 dividual capacity or position, butas "a prospective monarch ; " for I wish to induce you to abandon a habit which will essentially impair your ability to rule over the most pow- erful nation on earth. In the first place, my Lord, "your habit may prove fatal to self-control, and, by enslaving you, incapacitate you to rule others." You early made use of this poison. You use it freely, and already it may have gained the mastery. The man who is mastered is one who has lost the power of resistance— one who is subject to some despot, some passion or imperious appetite. Artificial appetites are despotic masters; and the appetite for this poison, once formed, is eminently such ; it becomes a " ruling passion," swaying its victims at will. We have many political demagogues in America, who make a vast uproar respecting foreign despotisms, who disgust us by their vulgar and boisterous boastings of liberty, whilst they themselves, victimized by this nauseous drug, are abject slaves ! They care more for this popular poison than for God, Man, or State. Thus is it with us, my Lord. How is it with you ? Which has the ascendency, you or your meerschaum? "As the eye of a servant is unto the hand of his master," is not your eye upon this fond idol ? Is it not among your last indulgences at night, and your first in the morning ? What luxuries flowing from the munificent hand of God— what fruits—what food—what pastimes— whatfriends—what studies—what sciences— what affairs of state—what province in all the vast amplitude of your dominions, occupies half so much time or attention as your fond cigar, or your idolized pipe? Here, here is a " power "—let no one despise it— which carries " kings into captivity, arid binds princes at its pleasure." No man, my Lord, who has the soul pf a man, can contemplate the mission of England and America—a mission, under God, which is to spread constitutional liberty and Christ's religion over the carth—but must regard you, England's coming Ki»<i, with intense interest and genuine good will. We wish you to be a prince " who shall have power with God and man"—" a tower of tional intemperance; English philanthropists strength and salvation." Lord, victimized by But how can you, my for our atrocious system of slavery. For this this narcotic, unable to rule yourself, rule a fidelity your countrymen have our thanks.

Tobacco is undeniably a poison, which injures the health, strength and manly courage of ordinary mortals; and we are yet to learn that the laws of Nature pay any such deference to royal blood, as to suppose it may not injure you. Divine authority hus said, "It is the honor of a king to tearch a matter." We ask you, then, to go to the royal shelves, consult some volume which treats on vegetuhlepoisons, and learn the nature and baneful effects of tobacco. Set it down, my Lord, as a scientific and philosophical truth, that God no more intended you should make this poison a bosom friend than prussic acid, arsenic, henbane, or a rattlesnake with his fatal fangs. As a poison, it disturbs the entire physical economy— affects the nervous system, at one time maddening the sensibilities, at another rendering its victim as amiable and oblivious as a sleep- ing babe ! We paint imperfectly, my Lord, but we paint from life. We think this poison, used by one generation after another, injures th'e nerves, strength and " style of man ; " or, in the language of an English physician, "It destroys the very principle of manhood." In the lapse of time its votaries take on a peculiar type—they become tremulous and timid, lank and Jean—they do not rise to the stature of men, and, what is worse, they afflict church and state by entailing on their posterity their own physical and moral deterioration. Says another English physician, the father is never so strikingly " The sin of visited on his children as in the sin of tobacco-smoking." I know, my Lord, that some, who by chance may glance at this humble tract, will treat this subject with contempt. But, should you consult such statesmen as Lord Palmer* ston, such divines as the Dean of Carlisle, and such physicians as Brodie, they might tell you that the man is not born who can take " the gauge and dimensions of this insidious enemy, which " has smote great nations." Why have Mexico, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Spain now so little nationality? Tobacco with them has had free course, and is a mighty cause, among others, of their inferior position. May not such be the fate of England ! The example of a prince, says the word of God, may be " clothed with desolation." Hence, we aim to defend " Young America," my Lord, against your injurious example. But we cannot forget that there is Young Ireland, Scotland and England, atid that you have bumble reformers in your own dominions wielding the battle-axe against this and kindred evils, amidst indifference and derision. It is the character of a virtuous prince to live for the good of his people. Hence, we beg you, my Lord, to drop your meerschaum and its affinities ; and as you are prospectively the Head of the Church, we beg you to be the Head of the Temperance Cause amidst a loyal and noble people. A cause of such intrinsic excellence, working so admirably in all places and times, may not borrow one iota of glory from prince or potentate; still,so much tire the masses swayed by " names," that you, the Prince of Wales, have power sufficient to give it a glorious " < i<: u it c k . 18 69. impulse, which will be felt till time shall end. Advance, my Lord, and honor the injunction, " It is not for kings to drink wine, nor princes strong drink." Give your princely strength to struggling reforms by pledging total abstinence from intoxicating drinks and deadly drugs." You will then be the crown of rejoicing to the Sons and Daughters of Temperance the world over ; and Bands of Hope will spring from the peat lands of Ireland, from the blue hills of Scotland, and from the cold regions of the Canadas, and bless you. Dear boys and girls, by millions, will clap their hands, and give you such a throne in their hearts as no earthly monarch ever filled. Respectfully, your friend, my Lord, Geo. Trask.

Kan down oil' Booka Bay, and on the same night of our arrival a heavy gale came on from the westward, which lasted several days. After the gale abated, found ourselves a long distance to the eastward of tbe bay, with a strong easterly current and light westerly winds. Finding it itnpussible to beat back to the bay again, put away for the equator, where we saw sperm whales uiicci Captured three, which yielded eighty-rive barrels of oil.

Passed thiough between the islands of Ousirua and Kakirouma March 18th into the Yellow Sea, where we experienced a succession of gales up to the 31st of March, when we passed through the Strait of Cores.
