A life closed in our midst on the 14th of May, which from the length of years with which God had honored it as well as the way in which they had been worn, rather as a crown than a burden, is deserving of more than a passing notice in this year of centenThis life commenced in nial memories. 1782, the year after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis and the year before the conclusion of definitive treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States. Napoleon Bonaparte, a youth of thirteen, was studying at the royal military school at Brienne. Joseph II was emperor of Germany just deprived by death of the counsels of Maria Theresa. Pius VI was Pope of Rome. These islands had only been discovered six years, and this life had counted thirteen years when the first foreign vessel entered the harbor of Honolulu. What an interval of time is bridged by such a life; what if one could gather the threads of the human lives that have begun and ended during the duration of this one life in which empires and kingdoms have arisen and fallen. Her own interest was in the kingdom of Christ, and as the work grew on apace and developed the proportions which it has assumed in these latter days, no wonder it seemed to her of more importance than the birth of any earthly kingdoms. Her life was not wholly free from trials which she ever sustained with that fortitude which was so characteristic of her, and which her late son inherited in so great a degree, and which enabled him in Hawaii's tryiog hour to render this country such service as none other has ever been able to render. Few of those whose privilege it was torender Mrs. Judd any service, however small, will soon forget the sweetness with which it was •lways received and acknowledged. Mrs. Judd was born in Washington, Con- HONOLULU. JINK 5, ISiC. Among her brothers were Dr. Thomas Hastings of musical fame, and Orlando Hastings, a lawyer of prominence in New York State. In 1852 she came to the islands, where for the past twenty-four years she has lived surrounded by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, two coming in the week succeeding her death to widen the circle of those who will ever cherish with a tender reverence the memory of her finished life. Her direct descendants number over eighty. She breathed her last on Sabbath evening, May 14th, 1876. Safe Home at Last. oecticut. 41 | m Series, M. M. Edltorlsl Correspondent:*. ATRIPCTHENOIAL.-o2.

Mills' Seminary, Palace for the • Baltltade. Before leaving San Francisco it was my privilege to visit the Palace Hotel and view it from the basement to the seventh story. It is a marvel, and to be fully appreciated must be examined. The Sultan of Turkey and Khedive of Egypt have doubtless many palaces costing more than this hotel, but they are comparatively useless and tenantless. European governments build palaces for royal families, but in San Francisco is a palace for the multitude, and I am glad to learn that the general public is extending to the establishment a liberal patronage. At the time of my visit there were about nine hundred boarders. Every apartment is finished off with much taste and neatness. There is nothing " shoddy " about the establishment. The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Strangers' Friend Society was held June Ist at the residence of the Hon. J. Mott Smith. The Treasurer's report showed Bradford's Polar Palatlap. that over four hundred dollars had been expended during the past year, and that While passing through the Palace Hotel, thirteen persons had received aid from this I accidentally learned that Mr. Bradford's most useful organization �I H X FRIEND, 42 JUNE, 1876. studio was in the building.

Berlin,Mcinhardt'o Hotel,Unterden Linden, ) March 16th, 1876. Amidst the confusion and excitement of sight-seeing, I steal a moment to scratch a line to you, (even writing with my hat on, ready to go out when F. is through his busi- < k ness). Berlin is brilliant, beyond Vienna, which I thought so grand; and I have seen sights enough and palaces enough to dream over all the rest of my days,—and such palaces ! Have been through the royal city palace and seen such magnificent frescoed walls,—with gilded furniture, &c. They make every one weur great felt slippers over one's shoes, so as not to injure the polished inlaid floors, and we stepped along most ungracefully, with open eyes and admiring faces. But I must not stop there or here. Yesterday we spent in Potsdam, visiting Babelsburg, the summer palace of the present Emperor—going throughall the rooms, even into the old Kaiser's private room. He sleeps on a hard bed, and the furniture is plain. Beside the table stood a plain arm chair, made by the Crown Prince for his father, and some of the Empress' water-color paintings hung on the wall. The Crown Princess' rooms are furnished as used to be ber rooms in England when a girl. From Babelsburg to the famous Sans Souci, Frederic the Great's palace.

Besides this, one of the five has but in our hearts. Let us show that we aim had to preside, and the meeting invariably at the class from which we come, and say close with a collection. Now I claim that to the young men of our own station, We your quorum is overworked, and 1 ask, have a message for you." And we must becan you expect to have enthusiasm gin by attracting them and by making our "inHow such an atmosphere? " ways pleasant. In the pretty English town in which my It requires a strong stern sense of duty to boyhood was spent, there is a grand old take one on a dark night along the angular church with a peal of eight grand old bells. approaches to the Sailors' Home, for after Seven tunes (one for each day in the week) you have triumphed over the sounds, sights, are chimed on these bells; besides which' and smell of Nuuanu street, you have still they are pealed for weddings, chimed for to do battle with the posts, steps fend other prayers, muffled for funerals, and tolled for clumsy protuberances of the " Home," —and conference. The tones and the tunes are for awkward posts, steps and protuberances « " " 48 Pure religion and undcfiled before Ood, the Father, is this: To risit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world. 1 believe " there is no place like that Home ; " and after all that unhappy quorum rises like a ghost to stop your pulse. Howmuch more attractive our meetings might be mnde, if they were held in some more accessible place, in the Lyceum for instance if that be available. I would devote the first half of the evening to business, and place the second half in the bands of the entertainment committee who could provide for an essay to be read and discussed, or for some good miscellaneous readings or other interesting disposition of the time, each member being expected to take a personal share, or to appear by proxy when his turn came. By this means there would be as much pleasure as duty in attending the meetings, and the Young Men's Christian Association would become a more tangible existence to its members as well as to others It would also be likely to obtain an influence over young men who, well enough disposed to its objects, are yet not sufficiently inclined to groi*& after the desultory attractions provided for their enjoyment at the monthly meetings at the Sailors' Home Many religious and other societies being carried on by those who are already interested in their respective objects, are in a measure independent ofsurrounding circuuistaoces ; but in a society like ours, the object is to induce young men to join us that we may influence them. We ennnut defy or violate their taste, but should seek rather to direct and consecrate it and to provide for its culture. Neither is our object merely to attract and entertain, but to get this class into tbe habit of being bunded together for proleesedly Christian purposes, trusting to our .Muster to direct and mukc useful those purposes. If we had a rigorous and a well supported association here, there is one form of work which we might with confidence take in band. 'When we have been spending occasional Sundays in the country in the midst perhaps of large fnuiilies of young people to whom church and Sunday school were hardly even a name, I think few ot us can have escaped the serious conviction—tl.at something might be done towards which we could contribute for supplying at least occasional religious services for the foreign settlements and hamlets that are growing up on our plantations and other districts. With this undone, we cannot cay we bave no work and there is no one here who cannot help To all of us tbe message comes,—Freely ye have received, freely give. My Iriends, what will you give? We only ask now that you will help with your name and your preaenco ; help to make this Association what it ougbt to be and what it can he—a benefit to the religious, moral and social life of yourselves and your friends. And just one word to those wbo bave not yet decided to give even their names to this Society.
