It is seldom that we visit this place, but we did on n lute occasion, when two seamen were undergoing their trial for an assault upon their officers. They belonged to a vessel from China. We listened to the evidence, and we have seen by the newspapers that they have been sentenced, but in a way, not at all corresponding with the nature of their crime. Why not? Most manifestly because, the second officer during the passage from China, had behaved in a most brutal and criminal manner. While the seamen were guilty of a most criminal assault upon their officers, and deserved severe punishment, one of those officers deserved to be as severely punished, yet he was allowed to escape, "Scot free," and has gone forward in the vessel to practice his brutal conduct unless taught to reform by this lesson. If brought before a Court of Admiralty, we doubt not, he would have been severely punished. We allude to this subject, because we think many of the troubles on ship-board originate in the after part of tbe ships. When those in command respect themselves, seamen will respect them and obey their commands and orders. We know of ship masters and officers sailing out of this port, about whom seamen never make any complaint. The late Commodore Paty, who made 170 passages between these islands and California, was a most wise man in manairing sailors. His words were few, and 73 .tOl.-Jstries.-501.21i.

OCTOBER, I*. 1. 74 It was to bave been expected on the Centenary of Scott's birth that some enthusiastic admirer among the thousands of Scotchmen and Englishmen, would have engaged in this or some similar undertaking, in honor of his memory, but it was quite unlooked for, that this pious labor should have been so happily, felicitously and satisfactorily performed by the son oi an old Honolulu merchant, who now occupies his father's residence in Clmrlestowu, now fitted up in palatial style, where lie entertains his literary .friends. One of our American correspondents thus writes us: "Mr. Hunnewell gives a great many elegant dinners, and leads the life of a literary gentleman of fortune. He entertained the Japanese Embassy lately in splendid style. The house has undergone a most magical change. He lias a house large enough to satisfy his f.mcy. The parlor is hung with heavy crimson, embossed crimson paper, crimson carpet, in fact it is the crimson room.

We wonder if Virgil, Horace, or Cicero, in their sumptuous villas, had a " smoking room !" one who will carefully examine this , must see that it required years to colthe materials, and then a most peculiar literary and antiquarian taste to arrange the same in this species of mosaic composition. What a guide-book is to the traveler, when visiting London, Paris or Rome, this book of Mr. Hunnewell is to the reuder of Scott's writings. Most heartily, we congratulate the readers of Scott that they should have found so laborious, peculiar and pains-taking a literary toiler. He has thus reduced Scott's works of fiction to plain matter-of-fact prose. Shakespeare says my : The poet's aye, in fine frenzy rolling, "Doth glanoe from heaven to earth ; And, aa Imagination bodies forth The forma of thing* unknown, the poet's pen Turna them to shapes, and gives to aiiy nothing, A loo_ habitation and a name." In a moct eminent degree Sir Walter Scott has verified this idea so beautifully expressed. Now, Mr. Hunnewell, while reading Scott's works and all books illustrative thereof, gathered many hints, historical and geographical, and starting out with these as his guides, visit* all those places inhabited by Scott's imaginary beings, then returning home with his well-stored port-folio and diary, notes and memoranda, sits down to the labor which eventually results in this interesting volume, the title of which stands at the head of these remarks. We also congratulate the writer in having executed the work in so satisfactory a manner. It is an undertaking which but few literary men would have the taste, leisure, means and ability to execute, while the amount of reading and research required would tusk the patience of no ordinary man. The more we understand the meaning which the writer would give to this word, but we do not see any more propriety in coining a new word to express the idea intended, than in coining the word hadish to express the opposite idea.

A., London, 1869. 291, pp. Student Life at Amherst. Its organisation—Their membership and history—By G.R. Cutting. Jim/ierst,\Bll. 204,pp. We find these two instructive and representative volumes lying on our table. Each one merits a much longer notice than our space will allow for both. The first presents a graphic and entertaining description of student-life in Cambridge University, old England, and the second presents the outlines of student-life in one of the best New England colleges. The foundations of the University on the " C:nn," were laid a thousand years ago, while those of Amherst were laid only one half-centnry. If all the folleges of New England, Vale. Amherst, Williams, Harvard, Dartmouth, Middlebury, Vermont University, Washington, Tufts, Bowdoin, Waterville, Brown, and one or two more, were brought together, and still maintained their separate endowments, and were duly organized into n university, they would form an institution, resembling the old and venerable " Cambridge," on the •• Cam." As our readers, in the last number ol the Friend, were so abundantly supplied with notices of Amherst College, we shall now confine our remarks to the first publication, viz., '• On the Cum." The history of this book is briefly as follows :—A son of the lute Edward Evorett, of Boston, graduated at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., in 1859. He immediately sailed for England, and entered Trinity, Cambridge, where he remained four years, going through the regular course of study, contending for its prizes, and finally carrying off some of its highest prizes and honors. After graduating, he returned to America, and during the months of January and February, 1864, delivered a course of twelve lectures, before the Lowell Institute, in Boston. The volume before us embodies these lectures, and they are worthy of the attentive perusal of any one who desires to learn the course of study and the internal government of this anrietit and renowned English University. Oar attention was first called to these lectures, during our visit to Cambridge in February, 1870. We enquired of a member of the University for some book which would give us a good idea of the University. His reply wan, " Let me recommend a book by one ol your own countryman, Mr, Everett, a graduate of Trinity." We then and there purchased the book, which hid just been printed in England, utid we have read the volume with intense interest, It pre* ■ g°od idea ofa indent's life and of the course of study, strangely contrasting, however, with the method pursued in most American colleges. Mr. Everett discourses most delightfully and charmingly upon some of the great men of the Univesity, among whom may be numbered, Erasmus, Bacon, Newton, Bently, Barrow, Pitt, Macuulay nnd many others. His sketch of Milton is so noble and eloquent, we cannot refrain from copying it. " In no part of history, ancient or modern, is there a life of such intense though melancholy interest as that of Milton. His course at college is represented by old tradition to have been a contest, and a bitter one. with the authorities. It is not unlikely that that fearless spirit, that dared confront the direst anathemns of church and state, may have incflrred the censure of some academic martinet,—but it is impossible that the college life of so good a scholar, and so pious a man, could have been a series of rebellions nnd punishments. For the ten years after leaving Cambridge, the life of Milton is like his own Eden, a living garden of all the fruits most exquisite to a young man ; personal beauty of an enchanting perfection,— the devoted friendship of some of the choicest spirits of the age, and experienced in nil the delights of a tour in Italy,—v welcome itt the delightful country mansions of the English nobility, where ihe urt of living is understood ns nowhere else in the world, —the attention of all observers, attracted more and more each year to the exquisite beauties of his occasional lyrics. Had Milton died at thirty, he would have been universally esteemed one of the happiest of men. In 1641, his life changed. Liberty and truth were assailed by tyranny and bigotry, and calmly this young and elegant poet comes forward to grapple in the death-struggle. For ten more years his life is given to a defence ol the great principles on which he believes justice and truth to rest. He knows full well what the issue of such a fight must be, and what the world would require at his hantls, and not for an instant docs he falter in his great work, till he has won a name, as a statesman, that sounds through Europe. Had he died in 1652, twenty years after leaving college, he would have lost some private happiness, but he would have died in the full enjoyment of well-earned fume. But for twenty-two more years he must struggle with all the ills that flesh is heir to. First went those rich dark eyes, that had won the heart of the Italian princess,—still he could bear to lose them in the cause of liberty, as long as his mighty protector, the protector of England remained. But the Stuarts returned, and to the sting of blindness, and of thnt slow but too often surefooted guest, poverty, was added a siorni of obloquy and contumely for what they were pleased to term heresy and treason. The Duke of York, afterwards the last and worst of the Stuart kings, who loved to see the Covenanters put to torture, and stood silent while his own nephew crawled in chains to his knees and begged for life, —delighted to expend the energies of hut narrow, superstitious, bitter mind in insults and injuries on the poor old man. The sweet presence of woman's love, that has so often breathed consolation to a hundred wretched hearts, was poisoned for liiin by countless trial . But all availed not to slay that immortal soul. Blindness could not check tbe keenness of that vision, to whom myriads of Starry lamps and biasing cressets, fad " With naphtha and aaphaltua, yielded light Aa from a iky,"— who beheld the angelic squadron turning fiery red at the insults of the enemy of Ood. No poverty could check that boundless imagination that built up the opal towers of heaven and adorned its battlements with living sapphire, that laid out the walks fragrant with cassia, nurd, and balm, that raised Seleucia, Rome, and Athens, from their ruins by the splendor of his descriptions. Servile parliaments and haughty princes might revile or torture the breaker of the golden image and the assertor of the liberty of tho press. But what cared he, who had but to dictate five words# in his majestic picture of the sun in eclipse, and straightway trionarclis were perplexed with fear of change. The fanatical Sherlock and the bigoted Saneroft might fix on him a thousand charges of heresy, but it was nothing to him who felt himself already admitted within the veil, and holding communion with heaven itself iv the solution of its eternal history, and its transcenili'ut mysteries. The frigid conceits of the pist age, and the senseless bombast of his own, could not break one of the thousand strings in his heavenly harp; the servility and fanaticism of a whole nation could not shako one lofty and free thought in his breast; the bestial licentiousness of the sons of Belinl that thronged the court could not cast one spot on that snow-like purity. All honor then to the defender of liberty,— reverence and homage to the champion of religion. Thrice echoing shouts of glory, and ever-blooming showers of laurel to the profound statesman, the elegant scholar, the consummate poet, the revealer of Hell and Heaven and Paradise ! And let no meaner name sully our lips to-night than that of the greatest son of Cambridge, John Milton." Things Greater than Wealth. DRBEYV.BUSHNELL. We must not forget to notice here how many greater things than wealth, and more to be desired, there ore—nay, more to be desired, in the long run. for the sake of wealth itself, if that were any tit motive. Strictly speaking, there is no money value in anything but money ; and yet whatever good comes round, after many turns, to yield money, has, in some sense, that kind of value. Works of art, going into the souls of a people, kindle sentiments in thetn, by which all their powers are stocked with lieauty, and made fruitful; and so come, at last, to be worth more, even money-wise, than placers of gold. A great poet is worth more, in the computations of public wealth, than any largest millionaire ; for if he may yield but a single short lyric that has the force to kindle a nation's feeling, and becomes its national hymn, he brings in vaster wealth than whole convoys of ships laden with the riches of the world. In it, he buya courage, enthusiasm, constancy, victory, all that conserves the order, knits the strength, concentrates the love of the State—what no largest largeness in gold can either buy or outweigh. —Scrihner's Magazine. �76 THE IKI X N li.

Especially if he have a heart to glorify God and serve humanity, he may put his hand to the rising fabric of a Christian civilisation and help to rear for its arching dome many a pillar of strength and beauty yet to be supplied. One need not stagnate on the Islands or sink dowrwinto tropical sloth for want of something to do. It may even be doubted whether the climate itself is enervating. The summer weather is far less oppressive in its intensity than in our own interiors or in the Cities of New York and Boston. Of course there can be found localities on the leeward side of the Islands level with the aea margin, where the air is still and the aun ia scorching. But even at Lahaina, on Maui, tbe abundant shade interrupts the fiery floods, and a few hundred feet of climbing on tbe rapidly ascending slopes gives you the gracious airs of a different tone. And then on all the windward shore* and throagh tbe gorge* of the mountains tbe regular trade winds pour in with every morning tbe oouling breath of the sea—the evenings are dewy and fresh with delicious breesea, and never a sultry night.

Sailing on over the central wastes of the broad Pacific, midway between the Hemispheres, thousands of miles from either continental shore, the sight of land cornea to the voyager as a wonder and a surprise.

All eves study that low fixed cloud till tbe short deepening twilight veils it from view. And a sweeter Bong, and a more thankful prayer rose that night around our family altar iv the saloon of the good steamer Ajax. The early morning twilight reveals near at band the bold pyramidal rook of Coco Head and tbe brightening dawn lights up the green mountain summits of Oahu. Our glassea are leveled at the strange land, and past tbe arid rock* of the shore line, and the aurf breaking on coral reefs, we look up the spacious aisles of verdant valleys, and through ooooanut groves upon scenes of beauty and of grandeur, worth a longer voyage to win and gaze upon. Soon we round the long eitinct crater of Diamond Head snd through a gateway of the reef steam into port.

Some attempts have been made from time to time, to modify these stringent provisions, but the Governmeut, thus far, is busily and notoriously rigorous iv their maintenance. But you will, I think, feel most interest in learning something of the aspects ot tho native life in these regenerated Isles of the Sea." In Honolulu, on (lahu, Lahaina and iVailuku, on Maui, Hilo, on Hawaii, and other large towns or villages, many of the natives live in small neat framed houses, neatly painted, neatly furnished and showing many signs of taste and care in green window blinds, brood verandas, climbing and flowering vines, and well kept grounds and paths. In the rougher and wilder portions of the Islands, they occupy the grass houses of their own original type of architecture, not a few of them spacious and comfortable, even for those accustomed to all the appliances of civilised life. In costume, with few exceptions among the men, and none that I saw among the women, they conform to the English idea ; except that the long loose flowing outside garment of tbe women is seldom belted at the waist. Msny of the women go barefoot, which is no hardship in that ever genial climo, but many of them also are as daintily furnished with stockings and gaiters as their fairer sisters. One would suppose that when a naked barbario race take to dress, they would develop a love of finery, a fondness for brilliant display, and gorgeous coloring ; but it does not seem to be so with those Hawaiian converts. Here and there a little of this tendency appears, and it was a masculine display chiefly that I saw, but I was surprised at the sobriety nnd moderation with which the women of the Islands select and fashion their wardrobe. Neither in excess nor in deficiency of toilet, will the aspect of a Sabbath congregation of " �THE I UIE natives offend the eye, or in fact, attract to itself special attention, unless for its tusteiulness and propriety. In some of tbe rough out-districts, most remote from the influence of tbe foreign element and from habits of village life, the men occasionally exhibit a more primitive simplicity of appareling. There is perhaps with all the island natives less sensitiveness to partial exposure of tbe person than with the conventional modesty of our type of civilisation, scarcely surpassing however, in degree, that which consents to what is oulled "The full dress " of the saloons of fashionable life. It gathers to itself no more comment or notice than the paintings aud statuary of gay European capitals, presenting a kind of common ground on which semi-barbarism and the extreme of refined civilization stand together, and holding up the suggestion that in the matter of real modesty the fastidious prudery of nn eye on the lookout for offense may not worthily claim the palm. The wants of the natives are but few. It were better for them if thoy were more. Bountiful nature supplies them almost spontaneously with ihe necessaries of life. Anything that will sbelter'them from the rnin is alt they need of wall or roof. Their taro patch aud breadfruit will furnish them with food. The universal poi mode from their taro is both relishing and sustaining. A little occasional industry will earn for them the few rials that pay their moderate taxes, and buy for them the simple articles of foreign manufacture which they need to supplement the gifts of nature. As a oousequence they are not given You will as a race to steady and continuous labor. see them at every hour of the day sitting on the ground in the shade or basking in the sun, in the very luxury of idleness. Why should they work when they have, with now and then a stroke or two of toil, all they want? If one of them grows an extra crop of taro, his neighbors and acquaintances think it right to share his better providence as long as it lasts, and in what is he the better off for his diligence and prudence. It never occurs to him to question his self-invited guests, or if it does his hospitality forbids it. He may as well forage as produce. It seems an almost impracticable lesson for them to learn to lay up ahead tor a wet day coming. 1fa special demand for their labor puts a few dollars into their hands it is not investod for the future, but consumed on some mere festal expenditures for the present Why not Let them enjoy as they go along—why should they be slaves to hard work all their years aud then leave behind what they have accumulated?" So their way is to spend as they go. If a pinch comes, some more fortunate friend or a day or two's hire of their muscles, will carry them " through. There is a gradual corrective to this state of things in what they are taught by their Christian Teachers, nnd in what they sec of the foreign life in contact with their own. One artificial want after another begins to assert itself. These wants impose labor and stimulate forethought. They are beginning to feel that they must be better lodged than they are, better clad, sit in chairs, not on tbe ground ; eat from a well spread table, not from a calabash between their knees, buy books, send their children to school and maintain in various ways a respeotable personal and domestic standing. It is not respectable to be ignorant, to be shabby, to drift backward toward tbe mere vegetation of a heathen life. A higher motive thus invites them continually, inspires a discontent with the fruits of idleness, and shows them instances among themselves of self-improvement and personal advancement which kindle their emulation. So they become blacksmiths, carpenters and small farmers— they hire out for service on the wharves, and upon sugar plantations —they engage as domestic helpers, gardeners, hostlers, house nurses, and their nativs indolence and all the old habits of the tropical life are thus, to some extent, countervailed. But toward this industrial and financial growth the process isslow, tbe moving forces languid and the inertia great. Indeed I don't know but you are tempted yourself to gay, " Perhaps their philosophy of life is, on the whole, the wisest—take things easy, live by the day, let the morrow take care of its own things. 'Man wanta but little here below'—'having food and raiment, let ua be therewith content.' " Ai to their moral aud religious state, they have nocepied, as you know, from the faithful labors of their Missionary Teachers, the Bible as the word of God, and Christianity as the faith that saves. They the Bible in their own tongue, and great numbers are able to re id it. They have also many Christian hymna in their native language, and are t_rf fuud of singiug them lo Ibe tunes which for us have' \ I). 11l lOBHK, have so many hallowed associations. They are naturally a musical people. And I have never heard sweeter or richer voices in sacred song than some I have listened to in their public and domestic worship. Their faith seems to me both simple and intelligent. There is much of a child-like spirit in it, while there is also the strength of deep and full conviction. Of course some of tbeir early superstitions cliug partially to them yet, but tbe revealed will of God is sovereign authority with them in every practical question. They remember and keep the Sabbath day. They are a church-going people. On the long rough trail that skirls the principal Island, it was pleasant to see iv every thin and scattered village of native huts, the Christian church, and to know that ou each Sunday the whole population come together to hear from a native pastor some uussuge of divine trutn. These churches and their pastors are under the supervision of some Missionary Bishop, wbose care of the wide diocese is faithful, fruitful aud laborious. In nuy of these rude native houses, where you are sheltered for the night, invite tbe occupants to family prayer, and you will very likely be surprised ut tbe joylul alacrity of tbeir response. They produce their Bibles— some in Hawaiian and some iv Kuglisb, (for a sou or a daughter of the bouse, has been educated perhaps in some ef the Mission schools) and read with you, each in his turn around the circle, the chapter which you select. The prayer may be to some of them in an unknown tongue, but it is addressed to the one God in whom they have learned to believe, aud offered iv tbe name of the Mediator whose work of love is their hope and trust, and they join in its offering with every outward token of interest and devotion. You sleep beneath such roofs with uo sense of fear, uo necessity of keeping watch and guard over any treasure, small or great. You and your goods are as safe from molestation as though armed men patrolled the round of your lodging place through all the hours of your slumber. You are more than Bate. Whatever the kindest hospitality can do to promote your comfort, is freely ottered—tbe best resting place iv the domicile is yours—the mats are piled to make your couch soft, and your privacy secured, if you sutler it, by their own exile into the open air. You may reward them if you will for tbeir contributions to your needs, but if you do not, you are welcome to all they have supplied, and are made to feel that they hold it a privilege to have entertained you aa a guest. Naturally tbey are generous and kind. They seem in all relations aud fellowship, amiable aud affectionate. I saw not one instance of personal dissension between them in all my mingling with them. I heard not one word spoken in hate or anger. And you are made to feel that the spirit of the Gospel of peace and love has breathed upon them, and the old Good will flows dowu through all the angelic channel of their lives. The sentiment of purity and chastity in their relations with one another and with foreigners, is one that needed at first an absolute creation, and since an assiduous development. There had to be a kind of artificial conscience supplied them iv reference to the evil of their native habits. The testimony of this cultivated conscience is, with some of them, pronounced and imperative ; aud with others it is still faint and inconclusive. They do not judge a transgression of this kind to be grossly vile, and fall into it without a sense of unpardonable guilt. It is a long atride, my friends, from the darkneaa of heathenism to the clearness of moral apprehension which attends upon tbe light and nurture of Christian society iv Christian lands. The Gospel may be received upon its announcement,aud a Saviour accepted aa soon as his story is told, but a sharp moral discernment, the supremacy of moral ideas, the coronation of new moral standards ia a slower process, and must be waited for in patience and charity. As to the future of these Islands it would be rash to prophecy in set terras. It will be safe to say, however, that they will be visited more and more from our ahores, for tbe beauty and grandeur of tbeir scenery, the peculiar charm of social life which they present, and the viotories of Christian nurture over Paganism and Idolatry. In neither hemisphere can the traveler find more wonderful and rewarding aspect* of nature. The uplift of lofty mountains like Mauus Lo* and Maun* Kea, ou the Island of Hawaii, rising about 14,000 feet from the level of tbe sea—the terrible and savage desolation of great lava field*—black glacier* outvieiug in length and breadth the blus-wbite glaciers of the Alps—the surging fury of Kilaues—the moat maguiuccut living volcauu iv the world—the voal crater " " 77 1871. of 11/rleakala, 10,000 feet in height, its rim, 30 miles in circumference, its bed, ti.OOO feet below the summit of it* rocky walls, with a score of crater cones scattered On it* surface, looking like ant hills from the crest, aud yet hundreds of leet from base to top the tossing sea of green mountain billows on West Maui, with strange rifts and chasuis between, furnishing more studies for the canvass than almost any other field the wide earth can show ; the grand snd lovely valley of Wailuku penetrating deep into this rocky system with its guardian walls, from 3,000 lo 0,000 feet in height, thin lainiiue of rock moved forward fold beyond fold like stage scenery on a colossal scale, all clothed in vivid intense green us though tapestried in emerald velvet, nnd pockets and cllfts of this deep verdure, charming aud resting the eye with a full and foaming stream roaring dowu the rocky valley bed, presenting a world of loveliness aud of majesty, wonderful and fascinating, even to one who has gazed upon the unrivalled glories of our own Yosemite. It is easy to predict, 1 say, that such scenery has ouly to be known to draw lo it an ever increasing number of I'ilgrims from every land. The time will come when Kastern visitors uud tourists from the old world will not stop at our shore line, content with California marvels, but will push ou over the Pacific) plain to regale the eye and the taste, and to enrich art aud song with these island wonders. The foreign element iv the Hawaiian Kingdom is becoming, of course, with every year, of increasing weight aud importance. There must be, I think, a growing commerce from these Isles of the Sea "— already the half-way bouse between Australia and our Golden Gate. Men of capital, enterprise and large sagacity ure laying tbeir plans for an increased production of island products and an enlarged and extending trade. This element is, to a great extent, in sympathy with the religious prosperity of the Islands, and every American traveler will congratulate himself aud bis country that tbe official representatives of his national flag, nre men who fitly guard the honor and the purity, not only of the oivil principles of tbe Republic, but of her type of Cbrisiiau — " institutions. Whether there is n better and happier future for the native population it is more difficult to say. They are politically the governing race. But in all the relations of tbe people, to the foreign life, they are of course inferiors. They are a simple hearted, inoffensive and quiet element. They arc easily and indolently content with the generosities of their climate, anil its almost spontaneous productions. It is hard to inspire them with personal ambitions. They yield themselves gladly to the nurture and control of their Cbristinu Teachers, aud will, it may be hopod, advance in tbeir conformity to Christian ideas, and in practical morality. But whether iheir decadence in numbers can be arrested, whether they cun be guided with energy and enterprise and save themselves as an independent race and nation, growing in wealth and power, and in a'l tbe forces of a various and self-sustaining civilization is a problem around which the clouds hang deep and dark. No solution of it is over sanguine or colored with tbe brightness of an assured hope. We may at least thank God that the Sun of Righteousness bos shone upon the homes and hearts of this fading race, and that if their doom be writteu its final issues are clothed with tbe light that streams from a revealed and blessed immortality. And that when the central fires that have lifted these lovely Islands shall have flamed forth in that last conflagration that shall consume the continents and isles of cartb together and there shall be no more land and Crystal no more sea, we may meet on that other Sea before the throne of God and the Lamb, multitudes of these redeemed Islanders, as fellow members of the one great family gathered from every people and tribe aud tongue of earth to wear one likeness and sing one song in Heaven.

The green copse, the quiet dell, the shady lawn, and the tall grove, never sent out sweeter sounds of rustling leaf, or warbling bird, or more fragrant aretna of plant and flower. The long curved line of white foam—the lip of the sea—never kissed more tenderly the crescent shore. The 'deep blue sea' never rested more calmly, or extended more inimitably. The great mountains of Hawaii never towered in more sublime majesty, with their glitterinir corona of fleecy snow. All is now serene upon these towering heights, where we have so often climbed, where we have seen the clouds thicken and darken, where we have heard the trumpft sounding long, where -The (Jod of glory thundcreth,' where his burning chariot sometimes rolls along tUese everlasting hills, where the earthquake is born, where the pent fires rend the mural wulls ond reeky roof of Pele's habitation, where fountains and rivers of molten rock burst out in ' devouring fire,' and where fiery tempests rave, nnd burning whirlwinds sweep and howl, and scatter ruin and desolation over wide and weird realms.

Missionary Herald, A gentleman in China, intrusted with packages for a young man from his friends in the United States, learned that he would ; probably be found in a certain gamblinghouse. He went thither, but not seeing the young man, sat down and waited in the hope that he might conic in. The place was a bedlam of noises, men getting angry over their cards, anil frequently coming to blows. Near him sat two men—one young, the other 40 years of age. They were betting nnd drinking in a terrible way, the older one giving utterance continually to the foulest profanity. Two games had been finished, the young man losing each time. The third game, with fresh bottles of brandy, had just begun, and the young man sat lazily back in his chair while the oldest shuffled his cards. The man was a long time dealing the cards, and the young man, looking carelessly about the room, begun to hum a tune. He went on, till at length he began to sing the hymn of Phoebe Cary above quoted. The words, says the writer of the story, repeated in such a vile place, at first made me shudder. A Sabbath school hymn in a gambling den ! But while the young man sang, the elder stopped dealing the cards, stared at the singer a moment, and, throwing the cards on the floor, exclaimed : where did you " Harry, learn that tune V "What tune 1" " Why, that one you've been singing." The young man said he did not know what he had been singing when he had been singing, when the elder repeated the words, with tears in his eyes, and the young man said he had learned them in a Sunday-school in America. "Come," said the elder, getting up; "come Harry ; here's August, 1871. — Japanese Inconsistency.—At the present time, the Japanese Government maintain* a strict prohibition in regard to Christian missions. Mr. O. Gulick writes that missionaries are allowed to teach only their domestics. Still the Japanese are putting forth unwonted efforts to introduce foreign ideas and books; Japanese young men are rushing to America and Europe for an education. It cannot but result that Christian influences will thereby be exerted upon the nation. Without intending it the Japanese are Christianizing themselves. Some American missionaries arc now employed in Japanese schools and colleges, and supported by the government. The fact stated in the following paragraph, clipped from the N. Y. : Observer, is worthy of notice Mr. Charles Lenman, author of the" Dictionary of Congress." and other successful books. Inis been engaged by the Japanese Government to prepare a descriptive and historical work on the United States, to be translated by Minister Arinori Mori, and published in Japan. The honorable appointment was made on the recommendation of Prof. Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution. Mr. Verbeck, a missionary to Japan, says that though it is but ten yours since that country was opened to modern commerce, hundreds of native shops now sell foreign goods. A large portion of the men in the middle and upper classes dress iv our costume. The army and navy are remodeled on the European and American systems. They have stages, steamers, telegraphs, and a railroad, docks and extensive foundries with foreign machinery, and sewing-machines in the tailors' shops. Beef, the abomination of Buddhism, is largely consumed, and bread is much liked. A foreign college in Yeddo has hundreds of boys studying English, French, and German. Eight foreign physicians teach in medical colleges. Several newspapers are published, and a large quantity of English and French books arc imported. Key. of the Wine Cup.—A commercial bank of Scotlnnd pound-note was received some time ago by a person in Forfar, with the following inscription written on its back. It appears to have been dated exactly two years after tbe issue of the note :— " Drunkards, take heed ! When this note passes from me lam a ruined man.
