Silver Wedding.—There was a very pleasant gathering on the evening of May 29th, of friends and neighbors, at the residence of Rev. J. P. Pogue, to congratulate this gentleman and his wife, on the 25th anniversary of their marriage. We appreciate the contribution to our columns from the portfolio of the poet, Stoddard, and if hereafter in looking over materials on hand, he finds additional poetical effusions they will always find a place in our columns. The 21st anniversary of the Stranger's Friend Society waa hold on Friday last, at the residence of the President of the Society, Mrs. S. C. Damon, at whioh tho reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were presented, and other business transacted. The receipts for the year past were 8468, and the expenditures $429. Tho Secretary reported that fifteen persons or families had received relief, mostly strangers in needy circumstances, who have no claim on tbe American, English, or German benevolent societies. In the evening His Majesty the King honored the ladies of the Society with his presence, thns evincing an interest in the objects for whioh it was instituted.— Gazette, May 22. The Stranger's Friend Society has now attained its " majority," having been organized in 1852. During the 21 years of its existence, its receipts have been $11,293.37; expenditures from 1552 to 1873, 18,750.22; the Society has a fund of 52.000. It occupies a field of usefulness and great importance in our foreign islnnd community so peculiarly organized. Lahaina. {tslosmts,M3v BY CHAS. WARREN STODDARD.

Miss Smilcy's •he Im " s. now acknowledged position in the van of tinworld's workers has proven to us all that if any woman feels the call God sent to prca,.li to iiicji and women the " unsearchable riches "' of Christ, no one has henceforth the power to prevent the fullest, freest, most public utterance of the same. Her early home was in one of the quiet country towns of Vermont, if we mistake not, from which she early went out on the mission tn which she has devoted her life. She lias labored with success in England, during which time she wns herself strengthened for the work which lay before her in America. In the Eastern cities crowded bouses have greeted the quiet Quakeress wherever she has spoken. Such a tremendous furore as this little woman created, quite against her will, when she first appeared tn the religious circles of New York and Brooklyn ! Poor Dr. Cuyler was arraigned before a very stern synod to answer " Guilty or not guilty," to the terrible charge of having allowed a woman to speak to his people lovingly, tenderly as only a woman can speak of the Divine Love and Tenderness. All this might undoubtedly have been very canonical, but canons and Snint Paul even were forced to yield to a higher right and justice. Then again the good Baptists throughout the country were horrified because one of their number, Mr. Pentecost, of Brooklyn, was brave and true enough to do what he thought was right in immersing a Quakeress. The columns of the religious papers blazed with notices of Miss Smiley and the unfortunate Mr. Pentecost. Not a whit disturbed by this, however, she has gone here and there winning the hearts of the people, gaining power. We were rejoiced to hear that she was coming to Boston. Every one went to hear Miss Smiley and every one came away with something to remember and ponder. Night after night she spoke, now in Boston, now in the suburbs, always thrilling' her listeners by the wealth and power of her words. There were prayer-meetings and bible-classes where she spoke. There was ever the same eager, expectant throng. We heard her at one of her evening discourses in a beautiful, new church on Columbus Avenue. After the opening exercises which were conducted by the pastor and a hymn in which all the people joined, Miss Smiley came forward. You felt the magnetism of her power before she spoke as she stood before you, simply dressed, seemingly unconscious of all else but her grand theme, and of those who were waiting for its unfolding. Her face and eyes had in them the promise of the words which were to come, earnest, pleading, tearful even, yet full of the glory which the vision of �THE FRIEND, JIIS E, hands folded before her, and spoke in low tones, but with such clear flutc-liku distinctness that not a word was lost, no listener was forgotten. It was not a sermon with text ffnd beads to which we listened, but a grand summing up in a proud, triumphant way of the struggle and victory of the Christian as portrayed in the seventh and eighth chapters ofRoman*. It was a call to all who knew of Christ to be no longer bond but free; to enter into a higher, nobler life, to join in the paean of Christian conquest. There was life and hope for all; none need despair. The infinite love and rest awaited them. Would they take this Saviour now risen, crowned, glorified? Through simple wording and qunint illustration with a pathos in voice and coloring which bespoke the womanly Christian heart beneath, came the lesson of comfort and cheer. Miss Smiley's especial power lies in the force and vividness of her illustrations by means of which she flashes the wealth of her meaning on you in a few powerful pictures. Advance in the Christian life with a look back to the world was pictured from its analogy to the Scottish fishermen, who wearily rowed all night with anchor still out. The gray of the morning found them no nearer the haven. Faith was seen through one of the pictures memory brought her of the night 43 1873. vaut got a good shaking, we are now all in tolerable good health.

Our weary * • The Nation's Wards. , JUNK, 18.3. in Cherry street gave me an opportunity of witnessing the order and despatch with which the business of shipping and discharging men is conducted, the routine of which, for want of space, I will not attempt now to describe. This buildinpr, as I entered, was filled with sailors. A perfect stream of men was ascending and descending the stairways leading from the offices of the Commissioner, which occupy the whole of the upper story of the Exchange. The rooms above aujktelow were crowded. In the readingCHi many were engaged reading the some forty of which were on file, playing chess, drafts and dominoes, reading the magazines on the tables and the volumes in the library; others were spinning yarns and making themselves generally at home ; while some were amusing themselves with ten pins in the bowling alley below. In the shipping office above, the crowds were surging to and fro, outward-bounders and liomcward-bouudcrs jostling each other with easy freedom, each apparently content and pleasingly unenvious of their oppositely conditioned circumstances. 1 learned from the janitor that the crowds of seamen frequenting the Exchange averaged about 800 a day, and he stated further that of all that large number of sailor visitors—to their credit be it spoken—he had found it necessary to expel but two men in six months on account of intemperance and disorder. Can the. Corn or Stock Exchange say more than this? More than 5,000 seamen have voluntarily registered their names in the book kept for that purpose in the reading room. The number shipped, according to the Commissioner's report, in less than six months, was 10,541,and the number discharged 7,785. The sum of $384,241.82 have, in that time, been paid into the hands of the seamen themselves, much of which has found its way into the Savings Bank on the premises. Eight hundred and forty-seven dollars and fifty-six cents, due to deceased seamen's families, have been collected and paid into court, where it may be claimed by the legal heirs. Are these not evidences of the practical and beneficent workings of this protecting law ? whom he has selected. Making his own engagements in person, he sees the men with whom ho is to sail, and on whom he is to depend for the safety of his life, his vessel and his cargo during the voyage. The captain and officers are further protected. In all cases of disobedience or of mutinous conduct on the part of the men, in every instance in which a man shipping as an able seaman, or in any capacity, is found incompetent to perform the duties for which he shipped, the Commissioner is empowered to punish by deduction of wages, or, in some cases, by entire forfeiture. If the case cannot be settled by him, it goes over to the Circuit Court as a civil case. But when a settlement of the case is procured before the Commissioner—both parties consenting to his conduct of the case—from his decision there is no appeal. Hence, here, too, litigution and expense are avoided. The Commissioner states in his report to the Circuit Court, that no small part of tho Commissioner's time is spent in settling matters at issue between seamen and shipmasters and officers; this work, which is done without fees, seems to give general satisfaction, and certainly has the effect of correcting many wrongs, and of avoiding many vexatious law fuits." The law, therefore, is for the mutual benefit of both the officers and the crew, and if not interfered with, will work incalculable good to all the parties concerned, ond relieve a life of sea service from many of its vexatious and trying discomforts, by securing fair play on both sides. As an example of the despatch with business is conducted, it may be slated that ordinarily a ship going a good voyage can be supplied with a crew of thirty men, anil all of them put on board, wiih their dunnage, and their advance paid, within two hours from the time of applicsejbi being made, Within a few days, a crew was shipped for a vessel and put on board, ready for sea, in half an hour from the time the Commissioner was notified of her need. In one instance a ship, with a notoriously bad name, applied for a crew. Thirty-seven men were shipped and put on board sober, of which number, notwithstanding the reputation of the ship, only one backed out. As an illustratioa of the moral effect of this law, I am informed that of more than 12,000 seamen put on board by the Commissioner in seven months, not ten men have been refused on account of drunkenness. To those of us who remember the drunken scenes of the sailing- day in former times, this is an evidence of positive gain, aud yet this is but an incidental effect of the law. Let not the philanthropists pause iv their labor of love. The cause is God's, and must go forward in spite of chicanery and in spite of opposition. A class of men, around whom have clustered the promises of God, and whose importance ami efficiency in the work ol evangelizing the nations has been the theme of prophecy and the hope of the church for three thousand years is not, at this late day, to be abandoned iv consequence of the opposition of a few, to whom "gain is godliness," and whose only hope of success is based upon their hitherto ineffectual efforts to arrest the onward march of benevolence by clogging the chariot wheels of Divine In an address delivered at the forty-fourth anniversary of the American Seamen's Friend Society-, in May last, Judge Benedict said, and said truly, "No one knows the sailor unless he has been before the mast himself, and lived in the forcastle." dfrf one who answers to this description, airaatrr) whom a life of many years in the forcastle has given a practical knowledge of the sailor, his trials and perils, his difficulties and discomforts, his advantages and disadvantages, both at sea and ashore, I would say a word in behalf of my quondam companions—a word which very many of them, could they but handle the pen as readily and as skillfully as they can handle the marlinspike and the serving-mallet, would be glad to say for themselves. I desire, first, to give expression to the gratitude which the American Seamen's Friend Society has awakened among seamen by its benevolent and long continued activity in their favor, and to tender their grateful acknowledgements to those noble and disinterested men to whom we are indebted for the passage through Congress of (he United States Shipping Law. In that instrument the nation has at last assumed, practically, a guardianship over those who have long been considered its wards," but to whom its "tender mercies " "hitherto have won the aspect onry of cruel neglect. I desire also, at the same time, to say a word about the law itself. I am moved to ask this favor for the reason that mistaken views, both of its intent ■• #. *. and of its workings, have taken possession • i of many minds, and we owe it to them that Under this law the captain or owner pays two dollars for shipping and fifty cents for they be disabused. The chief mistake as to the intents of discharging, and in each case deducts twenty" the law for the appointment of Shipping five cents of that amount from the sailor.
