History of
:
There are lying on our table two remarkable books, written by two New England
Divines and scholars. One book relates to
men and their education, while the other relates to the horse and his training. Both
writers are men of the very highest standing—the one an old Professor in Amherst
College, and the other Pastor of Park street
Church, Boston.
Books written by such
authors claim attention, whatever may be
the topic upon which they may write.
We shall first notice the volume by Prof.
Tyler. During the past half century, Amherst College has become one of the leading
colleges of the United States. It now numbers its graduates by thousands, and they occupy positions of influence in all parts of the
country, while many have gone a?, missionaries,

Do “Americans Hate England?”
We are sorry to learn, from reading an address of Prof. Goldwin Smith, as reported in
the London Mail, ol January 16th, that,
this gentleman should return to his native
land, and in a public address make such a
broad and unqualified statement, as thisy
that " Americans hate England." We hare
carefully read the whole speech, and endeavored to see if the harshness and uglinessof the utterance could not be modified. We
are sorry to say that we have failed to do so..
Such assertions from such men. do a vast
amount of injury. Prof. Smith was formerly a Professor at Oxford, England, and was
invited to " Cornell " to lecture upon history.
From his speech, we lenrn that he makes
Catiada his place of residence, but visits
" Cornell" to deliver his lectures. Now for
a gentleman holding such a position to return to his native land and make such assertions respecting the land of his partial adoption, is in the very highest degree, uncalled
for, because untrue. We shall be surprised
if Americans do not highly resent such an
imputation. He remarks, that he is puzzled
to account for the feeling. We are more
puzzled to account for the utterance of such
an opinion by one occupying Prof. Smith's
position. He complains that the hatred ismore intense in the Eastern States than inthe West. Does Prof. Smith mean to assert that the inhabitants of Boston, NewYork and Philadelphia hate England more
than those of the valley of the Mississippi ?■
Away, with such criticism on Americans r
the speaker is ignorant of the people he is
traducing. The Americans no more hate
England than do Englishmen hate America.
The inhabitants of both countries may laughand joke about " John Bull and Brother
" "
Jonathan," but to assert that the inhabitants
of the two nations live in hatred of each
other is foolish and untrue ! We wonder ii
Prof. Smith has not on some occasion been
slighted and become thereby soured? Perhaps he may not have always received that
attention from the literary men of America
that he deserved. The Rev. Dr. Thompson,
formerly of New York, and now of Berlin,

published in Every Saturday, there exists

government has, until lately, felt itself too
much preoccupied, if not too weak, to attempt to remedy abuses that recalled the
horrors of the African slave trade. The
chief seat of the traffic has been the Portuguese settlement at Macao, and the chief
market for the unhappy coolies Havana,
where they were depended on to indemnify
the Spanish planters for the loss of slave labor. For some months, however, the Chinese
authorities have thrown such difficulties in
the way of the export of coolies that the
traders have found themselves greatly embarrassed, and the Spanish Minister has
complained of the proceeding as a breach of
faith and a violation of the " Coolie-Convention "of 1866. As the Chinese base their
action on reports of unfair and brutal treatment to which their people are subjected in
Cuba, the Spanish Minister proposed that
they should satisfy themselves by sending a
joint commission of inqutry ; and they have
fallen in with the idea so far as to dispatch a
commission of their own, consisting of Chenlonpin, chief of the Educational Mission now
in the United States, and Messrs. Macpherson and Huber, prominent members of the
Customs service. Whoever desires to know
the present status of the coolie question, together with harrowing details of its past history, will find the desired information in the
July number of the Westminster Beview, in
an article ascribed to Sir R. Alcock, late
British Minister at Pekin. And when the
correspondence of our own Minister, Mr.
Low, is published, your readers will find
therein not only energetic representation, to
our government on the subject, but strong
documents addressed to the Chinese authorities with a view to encouraging them in
their opposition to a system of contract labor
which has been so shamefully abused. If
America and England stand together in
their opposition to this new slave trade, it,
like its predecessor, will soon be extinguished

THE FRIEND,
The Lost Watch.
A SKETCH FOR SAILORS.
When 1 was first married we were living
in Liverpool. I was on board one of Her
Majesty's ships as " able seaman." I am
sorry to confess it—l was then addicted to
drink; in fact, would be called an habitual
drunkard. At the end of each voyage I
spent two-thirds of my hard-earned money,
neglecting my wife and children.
On my return from the last voyage I ever
took, [ gave myself up more than ever to my
evil passion. 1 had been drinking with my
the " Ship," a favorite rencompanions
dezvous for the sailors and their associates.
I cannot say at what time I returned home,
not being in a condition to observe the time.
When I awoke the next morning with a
splitting headache and a burning thirst, 1
found that I had lost my watch and all my
money. My conscience smote me for my
unmanly and sinful conduct; but the demon
had too firm a hold on me to give the struggle up so easy. So, without a word or look
at my wife, I left the house, knowing at the
time they had no means to find food, and
that I had cruelly and foolishly squandered
that which would have obtained them plenty.
The loss of my watch, which my poor mother bequeathed to me in her last moments,
begging me to keep it for her sake, and,
above all, to abstain from intoxicating drinks,
troubled me greatly. Her words seemed
again to be ringing in my ear?.
I wandered about the streets for some
time in the vain hope of finding the watch.
After inquiring at the public-house in which
I had passed the previous evening, I resumed
my wanderings, with no tidings of it. At
last, wretched and tired, I gave up the
search, and leaned against a post at the corner of a street, with my arms folded and my
eyes bent upon the ground.
I was mentally reviewing my past conduct,
and forming resolutions to alter my course
for the future—resolutions which I had,
alas ! often formed and often broken—when
a kind and genit»l voice interrupted my reverie with the following greeting : " Well,
how do you do, Mr. J
? This is the
first opportunity I have had of seeing you
at
•nee your return
home."
I raised my eyes, and recognized the benevolent face of a minister who had been accustomed to visit my poor wife and the children, and whom 1 had sometimes talked
with. I could not but confide to him the
loss of my watch and money. He had often
endeavored to gain my consent to join the
temperance cause, but so far without success.
I had learnt before of his many acts of charity to my wife and family. I was indebted
to him, and had for him a real respect. I
was prepared to receive any counsels this
time in my discomfit and grief.
possible to regain your watch,"
" Ifheit were
said,
with a bland smile, " would you
consent to give up your evil ways and become a member of our good cause ?
"
likely I shall find my watch,"
" It is not
; " but if by doing I could regain
1 replied
it, I would never touch drink again for the
remainder of my existence."
" Then," said he, " you are henceforth a
teetotaller," producing the very watch from
his vest pocket. My surprise and joy were
APKIL,
1874
unbounded. In spite of the people about, I
could not restrain my tears of gratitude at
the recovery of my mother's watch.
The way in which the benevolent minister
became possessed of it is easily explained.
Like most temperate men, he was an early
riser. Taking his morning walk, as usual,
he passed the aforesaid " Ship," where he
found the watch, but not the money. The
latter perhaps my shipmates could account
for. He recognized the watch at once, having seen it in my possession many times
before.
In the course of the morning he had been
to the wretched hovel we then called our
home, learned from my wife my neglect and
their want, which he provided for, and then
he started in search of the neglectful and
drunken husband. We returned home, and
related all to my injured wife. Kneeling all
together, I responded to the minister's prayer;
I begged her forgiveness for the past, promising amendment for the future. That was a
great day of rejoicing to her. My benefactor became a constant visitor to our home;
and when the good old man died, some years
ago, few regretted him more than myself
and family.
I gave up the sea from the time of my
reformation, and obtained employment in
London through my wife's relatives. By
perseverence and industry I have worked my
way up ; and I shall always thank Divine
providence, using my mother's watch and the
good old minister, for lifting me from the
mire of dissipation, and bringing me within
reach of the saving sound of the gospel.—

A Tame Wasp.
Sir John Lubbock gives in a letter the following account of a wasp, which excited
considerable interest in England, and whose
death was recently announced in the news-
papers :
I took it, with its nest, in the Pyrenees in
May of last year. The nest, which was
beautifully regular, consisted of about twenty
cells, the majority of which contained an
egg ; but as yet no grubs had been hatched
out, and of course my wasp was, as yet,
alone in the world.
I had no difficulty in inducing her to feed
on my hand, but at first she was shy and
nervous. She kept her sting in constant
readiness, and once or twice in the train,
when the officials came for tickets, and I
was compelled to hurry her back in her bottle, she stung slightly,—l think, however, en-
She would take no food. Next day I
tried again to feed her, but the head seemed
dead, though she could still move her legs,
wings and abdomen. The following day I
offered her food for the last time, but both
head and throat were dead or paralyzed;
she could but wag her tail, a last token, as I
could almost fancy,, of gratitude and affection. As far as I could judge, her death
was quite painless, and she now occupies a
place in the British Museum.
Expected
Visitor.—Reports have reached
Dr. Lang, a distinguished
Presbyterian clergyman, for half a century
Pastor of a church in Sydney, may be expected by the next Australian steamer. He
has not only labored for the religious welfare of the Colony of New South Wales, but
perhaps no individual has done more to introduce thrifty nnd excellent immigrants
from the old country, but especially from
Scotland. For this purpose he has more
than once crossed oceans to carry out his
scheme. He has frequently been a Representative in the Colonial Legislature. While
busy as a preacher and philanthropist he has
found leisure to write for the press. Forty
years ago he published an interesting work
on the "Origin and Migration of the Polynesian Nation," which was reviewed by the

Edited by a
Pure religion and undefllcd before Ood, the rather, is this:
To visit the-fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted front the world.
Committee of the Y.M.C.A.
What will Stop the Mischief?
A decaying nation, confronted with an
evil, snys "Make the hest of it, and get
along as you can." A grow ing people on
the contrary, has for its maxim, "Look up
the cause and stop it." In so far as this last
is done here, so far are we as a growing
community, or nation if you please to say
so. And inasmuch as the Hawaiians attempt to do this, therein appear their struggles for continued existence. In so fur as
we do not put forth efforts to stop an evil,
just so far are we viewing calmly the footsteps of decay.
At the" death of a late beloved and lamented ruler, a lesson was displayed before
us that he who runs might read ; a lesson in
fact which need not here be put in words.
It was a lesson which many indignant hearts
responded to inwardly, though they spake
not outwardly. And as we think further on
the subject we are tempted to put it in words,
viz. The damnableness of the liquor traffic.
By liquor traffic we mean the whole concern;
that indefinable but most mischievously powerful something which temperance reformers
have in their homely language styled " King
Alcohol."
The women of America are only giving
expression to this indignant feeling toward
the power that invades and befouls and despoils that holiest and best of God's gifts to
men ; the home. The home is their kingdom, and every truly gallant man, with
aught of chivalry in his heart, will help
rather than hinder their cause. We say,
God bless them, and give them true wisdom.
And to come to ourselves, we may say, that
no decent man of energy can come in contact with the nastiness of rum without putting to himself the question " What is going
to stop it ? "
The fact is, probably no one force, no one
kind of society, no one argument will be
the one successful power. There is a narrowness about the scope of temperance societies, that despite their good object renders them somewhat tedious. When we
say that we state a fact, noticed by many
observing people; we are not uttering a
prejudice. [N. B. We forewarn any one
against quoting this sentence of ours as a
heading to an editorial leader against temper-
ance societies.]
Now as to laws. They seem to us rather
as a makeshift, wherein we lose almost as
much as we gain. Will, or will not Hawaiians drink more liquor while they are
forbidden to do so by law, than they would
if the law were repealed? This always
seems to be the question, when we undertake to debate the matter with the opponents
of the present law. There is always, however, one very puzzling phase to this debate,
viz : that it is invariably the man on the alcoholic side that maintains that natives will
drink less if the tabu is removed; that the
prohibition only makes tfiem more anxious
10 procure the forbidden stimulus.
The chief objection to the law seems to be
its sort-of-leading-stringcharactcr. Tahitians,
Marquesans, Chinese, Mexican Indians may
have all the liquor they please; Hawaiianborn whites too, but the native Hawaiian
their comrade—no, you shan't pass the glass
to him ! What practical man of common
sense expects such a lnw to be strictly obeyed or enforced ? In defence however of socalled missionary fanatics, we will here note
tho fact that it has leen the Hawaiian members of the Legislature that have refused
time and again to repeal the statute, and the
late Kamehamcha V., who was surely anything but a missionary man, was understood
to be decidedly opposed to its repeal.
Temperance moreover does not want patting on the head, patronization, such as children receive sometimes to their own rebellious disgust. It is sincere, hearty help that
is wanted. Any one can say, of the Good
Templars for instance, "Oh a very nice
thing, does a great deal of good," and all
that. We suspect that the sotto voce would
Yes, nice thing for reread as follows
formed drunkards, unfortunate people that
cannot control their appetites. What a wonder that people cannot refrain from making
beasts of themselves," &c. &c. That is we
believe a common way of putting the thing,
and it does not put any help in the way of
Temperance either.
Here is another of what Solomon would
call "evils that I have seen under the sun."
In the editorial columns of highly respectable papers, reflecters of public opinion,"
we find most pathetic appeals for the poor
Hawaiian ; the evils of the universal ginbottle, the quarrels and murders and deaths
caused thereby being painted in touching
colors, and in all sincerity too, we believe;
and yet in the most strikingly adjacent advertising column, we find this terrible article
most temptingly set forth, displayed in the
newest and handsomest type, and all for the
especial promotion of the trade which has
just been denounced as " infamous." No
less than twelve separate advertisements of
liquors appeared in a late number of a Honolulu paper that contained also a most powerful appeal to all lovers of the Hawaiian
race to enlist in the cause of Temperance.
It is the old, old story, Rum and Missionaries, all in the same ship. Keally now, are
we fanatics because we point out this too apparent inconsistency ? Well, what do we
\vaBt ? We want an intelligent, informed,
resolute and consistent public opinion on the
subject. We want a public opinion that will
not flinch from the truth for such it is, that
we as a community do not need the article,
at least outside of the sphere of a drug-shop.
That while some people see a most lamentable waste in the throwing away of molasses
that might make good rum, the real waste
of money, of power, of capital, of everything, is in the yearly importation of the
amount of useless flavored alcohol that the
Collector General's annual exhibit makes
known to the public.
Moreover, it may not be best to place the
argument tor this matter on trre selfish basis.
:"
"
We will not attempt to convince men that
they as individuals are suffering from the
use of alcoholic stimulants, but will compare
our situation to that of the soldier in the
field divesting himself of everything not
necessary for vigorous life. Nowhere is it
more evident that an economy of human
force is necessary than on these thinly-peopled islands. Let there then be a chivalric
self-denial of all that need not be imported
here in order to make a prosperous and civ-
ilized community.
It would pay in the long run, for this community to actually support by subscription
those who " must lice " by trading in spirituous liquors, and then hermetically seal up
their quondam places of business.
Now it is light, not blame, that we would
fain dispense by this essay. We would put
forth the idea, and let it fight its own way,
against principles not men, except they espouse those principles which are false. Our
own private opinion is that the Church is
the only true Temperance power, but we
have not here room to say more.
Darwinism.
We believe in Christian Darwinists, if not
in Christian Darwinism. That is to say, a
train may hold that races may develop, one
from another, and yet there be a Divine
Power back of all. But it was with pleasure that we listened to an essay the other
evening at a meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, prepared by Prof.
W. D. Alexander, on the Intolerance of Materialism. The text thereof was the Popular Science Monthly, a publication, which,
accepted in a purely scientific frame of mind
is most useful and interesting, but which
unfortunately takes pains to tread on the
corns of our faith if, we may be pardoned
the irreverent expression. Rather it undermines, unseen, the faith of all not forewarned. The especial point of the Professor's
article was the manifest intolerance of the
" chaps that run the above mention" liberal
ed Magazine. It is an intolerance manifested toward the Christian religion as violent
as that of the most bigoted denominationalist, Calvinist or Methodist. In striking
contrast to this was held up in the essay to
which we allude, the course of that prince
of scientists, the reverent Agassiz.
Now do not say that we lay a ban on the
Popular Science Monthly. We recommend
its Science, but politely request it at least to
let Theology alone.
The next meeting of the Association
is to be the annual meeting. A full attendance is hereby bespoken.
Some complaint has recently been
made, that some one or some persons pocket
the papers from the tables of the Reading
Room. It is not often done however, and
any one must see that it is a most manifest
injustice.
Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness.
I have never seen that clever men have been
ungrateful.—[Goethe.
