sojourn in Honolulu, which, in view of his
recent death, has a most interesting significance. Speaking of the late Dr. Guthrie of
Scotland, and of the beauty and grandeur of
his life and work for the Master, Dr. Henderson said : "At the time of Dr. Guthrie's
death I wrote to his daughter congratulating

whom he was dear to rejoice that another
has received the crown and palm.
A new name has been added to the list of
the " honored dead," that of President
Steams of Amherst College. All who ever
met him will recall the beauty and purity of
his eoutiterAnee, which in this life seemed
to shine with the glory »f thai light into
whose full brightness he has now entered,
so that we might speak rather of his translation than his death. The memory of his
saintly name and example will be of priceless value to the institution, of which he was
for so many years the guide and leader.
May his mantle rest on the one who shall be
called to be his successor!
The women of the United States have
taken up the cause of temperance reform
and the work will move forward. A glance
at the Morning, a new paper published by
them, will convince any one that they have
taken hold of a work which they intend to
accomplish. Fifteen hundred young ladies
in one city have pledged themselves not to
associate with young men who arc in the
habit of using liquor, and say they will demand purity for purity and sobriety for sobriety. We have long enough been the silent sorrowing victims of a most gigantic
evil, thinking we had no power to rescue
ourselves. We cannot wield the sword but
there is a moral power in united persistent
effort—with prayer that no evil can withstand.

A private letter from the Sandwich
Islands, published in the Christian Register,
contains th's paragraph : "I am more than
ever convinced that the salvation of the Orthodox Church is in its foreign missions. It
is impossible to read the history of these islands, and see from whnt a horrid and revolting condition they have been brought to the
quiet, safe, and orderly life of to-day, through
missionary zeal and work, without believing
heartily in Christian missions to foreign
lands. Meantime the reaction upon the
churches sustaining these missions has maintained them in healthful vigor. I believe
the first essential of the Unitarian Church, if
it is to live and transmit its truth and the
noble examples of its saintly lives to coming
generalinns, is the missionary spirit."

A TRIP TO THE
Corrcpoodencc ]
CENTENNIAL-No. 6.
Thf Foarth of Jnl>. IBT6.
Having spent the charming month of June
among the hills of New England, I returned to Philadelphia last evening in order to be present at the Centennial exercises in this memorable city, associated with the signing of the Declaration ot
Independence, just one century ago to-day.
Soon after my arrival last evening, the mile*
of torch lights were witnessed, and It was
twelve o'clock before the pageant had passed,
when the Great Bell on Independence Hall
announced First Century of the Republic as
ended, and the New Century begun.
The evening was most propitious. The
moon was nearly at its full, and as Milton
says, " rode forth in peerless splendor." All
the inhabitants of Philadelphia must have
turned out, for the streets were filled with
the eager expectants of the brilliant show
and the long miles of tramping soldiers,
musical bands, and the endless exhibit of industrial and mechanical handicraft.
Scarcely had my eyes been closed in
sleep, ere 1 was awakened by the band
marching up Walnut street playing Yankee
Doodle, and following an illuminated car,
with these words displayed, " the 100 birthday. From that early hour until the present
moment there hns been one incessant patriotic demonstration of fireworks, and while I
am writing, the children in the street, under
my window, are firing off crackers and
other pyrotechnic combustibles, not much to
my peace of mind. *

I have just returned from the grand and

Bayard Taylor recited his poem,—Evarts
delivered his oration —the band of musicians

notables were presented to the vast assemblage,—such uproarious hurrahs I never

On leaving Worcester 1 passed over the teachers. Perhaps for a solid and useful
railroad, taking me under the shadow of old education this seminary stands at the highWachuset Mountain, the highest land in the est point among all the female seminaries of
America.
Other seminaries partially modeled after this one, originally established by
Miss Lyons, have been started in the western country; and the Mills' Seminary at
Brooklyn, Cal., has drawn its inspiration
from the same source.
From South Hadley we crossed the Connecticut by a ferry and visited Northampton,
the " Norwood " of Beecher's only romance.
Here we glanced through the beautiful apartments of Smith College, where young ladies
are invited to pursue a finished classical
course of study. The first class has already
entered and been taught one year, while a
larger class is expected to enter on the opening year. The grounds and surroundings
are most tasteful and neat. The Recitation
rooms are in every respect such as the most
fastidious must admire. The department of
Natural History is to receive a due share of
attention. The collection of curiosities is
not large at present. As I have already observed, the view from the tower is transcendency grand and beautiful. We shall look
for most gratifying results in the future of
Smith College.
While at Northampton we also visited the
school for deaf-mutes, conducted on the new
plan which entirely discards the old system
of signs and hand-symbols. This system is
based upon the principle of speaking
from the peculiar motion of the lips. We
were introduced by the teachers to the pupils, who certainly
such skill in
lip-speaking as was quite surprising and
wonderful. We certainly obtained some new
ideas by visiting Clark-School for DeafMutes.
There is much of true historic interest in
Northampton. It was there that President
Edwards, the great divine of America, once
lived. The site of his residence is still
pointed out and visited by all lovers of Puritan doctrines and intellectual study.
A
magnificent elm tree now marks the spot.
From this interesting and ancient relic we
passed over to the cemetery, where repose
the remains of David Brainerd, over whose
grave there is a marble slab with this inscription :
to the memory of the Iter. David Brain" Sacred

briJpe, Delaware, and Suaquehannah tribes of Indiana; who died in this town Oct. 10,1747;aged 82."
Beside BrainercTs grave was that of Jerusha Edwards, who died Oct. 14, 1747, only
four days subsequently. These notable persons would doubtless have been soon married, if death had not so unexpectedly intervened ; so says tradition !—so says history

cealed, and during that concealment
one of them came forth and led the soldiers
to Indian warfare and then retired, leading
some to imagine that God had sent His angel to deliver the people from the tomahawk
and scalping knife of the Indian. In Hadley
resides one well known at the islands,
Mrs. Bonney, formerly Miss Emma Peck.
The old time-honored and much frequented Commencement Exercises of New England colleges, are passing away before the
onward and combined march of Base Ball,
Boating, Class Days, and other modern innovations. This method of working off the
exuberance of youthful fervor and ambitious
aspirations of the collegians may be an improvement, but the older class of graduates
do not think so, yet there is no alternative ;
the inevitable must be borne and the situation accepted.
Commencement Exercises opened with
the Baccalaureate Sermon, prepared by the
much esteemed, much respected and much
lamented President Steams several weeks
before his death. It was delivered Sabbath
morning in the College Church by President
L. C. Seelye, of Smith College, Northampton, and was most appropriate, even if the
beloved president had foreseen that death
was near he could not have prepared a
more timely discourse. His subject was—
The. opportunltie* and responsibilities of
educated young men. Most earnest appeals
were put forth exhorting young men to love
their country. There was an allusion to the
late war, in which a son of the president had
fallen, to which a reference was made in the
following touching passage of the discourse :
(Jod grant that such scenes may never be repeatmi"! but, should the dreadful voice of divine retribu-
tion summon you to the bitt'es of righteousness—

Ins mother's joy. Aoting from Ihe high sentiment of
Christian duty, the crown of martyrdom will await
him and yon. There hangs in my parlor the portrait of a young officer in military attire, with his
right band on the hilt of tbe sword by his side. As
I was gating on it with tender musings, the figure
took oo life, the lips parted and said, Tell tbem to be
good and true, aud then, if the country calls for
them, dulce tt decorum %rro patria mori.
In the afternoon the Lord's Supper was
administered in the same place, when two
young men made a profession of their faith,
and it was remarked that on a preceding occasion about thirty had done the same.
These were the fruits of a most precious revival among the students of the college during
the last year.
in the evening of the same day, the Rev.
Dr. R. Thomas, of Brooklinc, Mass., delivered an address before the society of Inquiry.
It was a most eloquent and interesting discourse. Dr. Thomas has within a year or
so been invited from a London pulpit, and

in their lot among the ministers of the gospel on this side of the Atlantic.
On Monday followed Prize Speaking, and
on Tuesday " Class Day exercises. In the
evening of the same day, there was a Grand
Concert of the Class of '76," in which
some of the most noted performers of America took a part, including the famous " Mendelssohn Quintette Club " of Boston.
The exercises of the following day, Wednesday, were "Junior Class Physical Exercises," including dumb-bell and other athletic
performances, in which the young men acquitted themselves most creditably. "Alumni meeting" followed, when the Rev. Dr.
Leeds, the rector of an Episcopal church in
Baltimore and the class of '35, delivered a
most finished and polished oration, abounding with apt and graceful classical allusions.
I have rarely ever listened to an address of
this nature and on such an occasion, which
was more appropriate.
The real " Commencement Exercises"
were to come on the following day, and I
only regretted that my very limited time
would not allow me to remain and listen to
the orations of the ten young gentlemen representing a class of seventy,—the largest
which has ever graduated from Amherst.
Compelled to hasten away from the hallowed precincts of Amherst, 1 did not retire
without many pleasant regrets. There we

Amherst College has no

occasion to be ashamed of her 2,000 graduates who have gone forth during the past
half century.
This college is one of the very best types
of our American colleges, which are institutions somewhat peculiar to America. They
are like, yet unlike, the universities of the
old world ; their excellences and peculiarities
have been the result of the exigencies of
American student-life. Their influence is
most commanding and constantly increasing.
While there is a tendency in some quarters
to combine the colleges of the land into universities, yet we should hope the peculiar
typical college of America would never be
absorbed or pass away. It is an outgrowth
of the fresh and free life of America.
It is a marked feature of the age, from a
missionary point of view, that colleges are
now springing up in other lands modeled
after the type of the American college, and
not after the university-type of the old world.
Roberts' College of Constantinople and the
Syrian College at Beirut, are good examples
of such institutions. Other similar institutions have already been started in other parts
of the Turkish Empire ; a similar college is
now projected for Brazil, South America;
and also for Ceylon and other parts of India.
Soon one will arise in Japan.

DR. HENRY SCHLIEMANN.
AN AUTOBIOOtAPIIICAI. SKETCH.
Few
discoveries
of
modern
times
possess more poetic nnd historic interest
than those of Dr. Henry Schliemann in the
Troad. Within the last few years scholars
have turned with renewed attention to the
city immortalized by the genius and song
of Homer, as the rumor has spread that the
long buried walls of Ilium, its palace nnd
temples and homes were slowly rising into
view. Out of the dim and mythic past they
seemed to some into the full light and nearness of the present day as if evoked by
magic; one felt as if he were gazing on
some fleet and elusive mirage or saw a
vision which must in a moment vanish. But
the city of Troy which Dr. H. Schliemanq
professes to have discovered, is buil.t on very
solid and enduring foundations us will be
seen by all those who are so fortunate as to
be able to read his work entitled, " Troy and
its Hemains," translated and published in
England in 187&. This gives in full the
accounts of his researches from 1871 to
1873 at Hissarlik in the Troad. Here he
unearthed the remains of four cities, the
lowest being in all probability the Troy of
Homer, a discovery of immense value to
scholars and archaeologists. The facts calmly and carefully given are invested with the
charm of romance. Bnt it is not our object
10 go at all into the history of these late discoveries, which are now known to the
reading world. We have preferred rather to
give in full the autobiographical sketch of
Dr. Schliemann, which is included in the
volume before us. One can not but be profoundly moved by its perusal. It is the
simple, almost homely, yet intensely pathetic recital of the efforts which he made in the
face of the greatest difficulties to accomplish
the longed for purpose of his life. Every
such history is a blessing to mankind. Better
are such glimpses of a brave, heroic spirit
than the resurrection of a buried city with
its classic memories; richer treasure than
the silver and gold of King Priam.
\
l>. HUM,
IS,
of ten, 1 presented my father, as a Christmas
gift, wilh a badly written Latin essay upon
principal events of the Trojan war and
Ithe
the adventures of Ulysses and Agamemnon,
little did I think that, six-and-thirty years
later, I should offer the public a work on the
same subject, after having had the good fortune to see with my own eyes the scene of
that war, and the country of the heroes
whose names have lieen immortalized by
Homer.
As soon as I had learnt to .speak, my
father related to me the great deeds of the
Homeric heroes. I loved these stories; they
enchanted me and transported me with the
highest enthusiasm. The tirst impressions
which a child receives abide with him during his whole life; and, though it was my
lot, at the age of fourteen, to lie apprenticetl
in the warehouse ol E. Ludwig Holtz in the
small town of Fiirstenberg, in Mecklenburg,
instead of following the scientific career for
which I felt an extraordinary predisposition,
I always retained the same love for the famous men of antiquity which t had conceived for them in my first childhood.
In the small shop where I was employed
for five years and a half, first by Mr. Holtz
ami then by his successor, the excellent Mr.
Th. Huckstadt, my occupation consjsted in
retailing herrings, butter, brandy, milk and
salt, grinding potatoes for the still, sweeping
the shop, and so forth. I only came into
contact with the lower classes of society.
From fire in the morning to eleven at
night 1 was engaged in this work, and had
not a moment free for study. Moreover I
rapidly forgot the little that 1 had learnt in
my childhood, but I did not lose the love of
learning; indeed I never lost it, and, as long
as I live, 1 shall never forget the evening
when a drunken miller came into the shop.
He wus the son of a Protestant clergyman in
a village near Teterow, and had xlmost concluded his studies at the Gymnasium when
he was expelled on nccountof his bad conduct. To punish him for this, his father
made him learn the trade of a miller. Dissatisfied with his lot, the young man gave
himself up to drink, which however had not
made him forget his Homer; for he recited
to us about one hundred lines of the poet,
observing the rhythmic cadence. Although
I did not understand a word, the melodious
speech made n deep impression upon me,
and i wept bitter tears for my unhappy fate.
Thrice I got him to repeat to me those godlike verses, paying him with three glasses of
brandy, which I bought with the lew pence
that made up my whole fortune. From that
moment I never ceased to pray God that by
His grace I might yet have the happiness to

were shipwrecked in a fearful storm off the
island of Texel. After innumerable dangers,
the crew were saved. 1 regarded it as my
destiny to remain in Holland, and resolved
lo go to Amsterdam and enlist as a soldier.
But this could not be done as quickly as 1
had imagined, and the few florins, which 1
had collected as alms on the island of Texel
and in Enkhuyzen, were soon spent in Amsterdam. As my means of living were entirely exhausted, I feigned illness and was
taken inio the hospital. From this terrible
situation I was released by the kind shipbroker J. F. Wendt of Hamburg, who heard
of my mislortune and sent me the proceeds
of a small subscription which hud been raised
for me. He at the same time recommended
me to the excellent Consul-General of the
North German Confederation in Amsterdam,
Mr. W. Hepner, who procured me u situation in the office of IVlr. F. C. Quien.
In my new situation my work consisted
in stamping bills of exchange and getting
them cashed in the town, and in carrying
letters to and from the post-office. This
mechanical occupation suited me, for it left
me time to think of my neglected education.
First of all 1 took pains to learn to write
legibly, nntl then, in order to improve my
position, I went on to the study of the modern languages. My annual salary amounted
only to 800 francs ('321.), half of which I
spent upon my studies ; on the other half I
lived, miserably enough to be sure. My
lodging, which cost 8 francs a month, was a
wretched garret wiihout a fire, where I shivered with cold in winter and was scorched
with the heat in summer; my breakfast consisted of rye-meal porridge, and my dinner
never cost more than a penny farthing But
nothing spurs one on more to study than
misery and the certain prospect of being able
to release oneself from it by unremitting
work. 1 applied myself with extraordinary
diligence to the study of English. Necessity
showed me a method which greatly facilitates the study of a language. This method
consists in reading a great deal aloud, without making a translation ; devoting one hour
every day to wr ting essays upon subjects
that interest ope. correcting these under a
teacher's supervision, learning them by heart,
and repeating iq the next lesson what was
corrected on the previous day. My memory
was bad, since from my childhood it had not
been exercised upon any object; but I made
use of every moment, and even stole time
for stiidy. I never went on my errands,
even in the rain, without having my book in
my hand and learning something by heart;
and I never waited at the post-office without
reading. By such means I gradually
learn Greek.

"THE OLD SOUTH."
This old Puritan Church of Boston lias become one of the most interesting historic relics
of America. In sacred associations, connected
with scenes of Revolutionary memories, it
stands quite alongside with Faneuil Hall.
For some years, however, it has ceased to lie
frequented as a place for religious worship.
The '• New Old South " has arisen in the
growing and most fashionable part of Boston.
The question has been long under discussion, what shall be done with the Old
South" edifice? For some years it has
been the post-office of Boston, but no longer
being required for that purpose, the spirit of
trade and the desire to utilize so valuable a spot
as that upon which the building now 3tands,
have demanded that it should be sold, and
stores go up in its place. So strong has
been the pressure that a few days sirtce,t!te
Old South " was actually sold under the
auctioneer's hammer for less than $2,000.
The ruthless work of demolition had actually commenced. This was too much for Boslonians ! They could not see the building
crumbling before their eyes ! The Key. Mr.
Murray declares he wept over the sight! I
have no doubt others did the same. But
what was to be done ? " Love of gain,"
cares but little for tears of sentiment! An
enterprising firm of merchants, as a last
resort, proposed to give 8100,000 on certain
conditions, provided 8300,000 could be
raised, the sum sufficient to buy the premises. Seven days of respite were obtained,
during which period a final appeal should
be made to the public; of course Boston
now must bring forth her most eloquent orators to address the people. A public meeting
was convened within the walls of the 'sacred'
edifice on the 14th of June, at 12 noon. It
was my privilege to be present with the
dense throng filling ground-floor and galleries of the building. Ii was worth a visit to
America, to visit the " Old South " on such
an occasion.
"
"
a
The historic Past stood pleading with the
Progressive Spirit of the Age. The sentiments uttered on that occasion found expression from the lips of America's most
finished orator, Wendell Phillips, and perhaps the most eloquent pulpit orator of New
England, the Rev. W. H. H. Murray. From
these eloquent appeals I shall quote a few
passages :
After referring to Bunker Hill, the old
North Church and the revolutionary monuments, Mr. Phillips said that it was the work
of men and the mechanics of Boston that
made the Green Dragon so famous. (Applause.) The consecration that the Puritans
gare to these walls, to Christ and the church
in 1729 is annulled. The ark of Qod has

sought a new and perhaps a better shelter,
but these walls received as sincere consecration when Adams and Otis dedicated them
to liberty. (Cheers and applause.) We
don't come here to save the walls that have
echoed to the prayers of Cotton and Prince
and Eckley and the early saints of the colony. We come here to save the walls that
echoed the sublime thought of Quincy when
he said " No matter where nor how nor
for what cause, I mean to die a free man
and not a slave!" (Applause.)
These
arches will echo as long as they stand with
this sublime and sturdy religious enthusiasm
of Adams, with the unequaled eloquence of
Otis, with Warren in his young genius and
enthusiasm. I will not say it is a noble consecration, I will not say that it is a better
use ; I only say we come here to save what
our fathers consecrated to the great memories of the greatest struggle that the race has
ever seen for the liberties of man. (Applause.)
You spend half a million for a school
house. What school so eloquent as these
walls to educate citizens ? Napoleon turned
his great Simplon road aside to save a tree
C&ssar had once mentioned. Won't you turn
a street or spare a quarter of an acre to remind boys what sort ol men their fathers
were? Think twice before you touch these
walls. We are only the world's trustees;
the Old South no more belongs to us •Hum
Luther's or Hampden's or Brutus' name does
to Germany, England or Borne. Each and
all are held in trust as torchlights and inspiration for any man struggling for justice or
ready to die for truth. What does Boston
mean? Since 1630 the living fibre running
through history and owning that name,
means jealousy of power, unlettered speech,
keen sense of justice, readiness to champion
any good cause; that is the Boston Land
suspected and North hated and the Negro
loved. If you destroy the scenes which perpetuate that Boston, then rebaptize her Cotton town or Shoeville. Don't belittle these
memories ; they lie long hid, but only to
grow stronger. You mobbed John Brown
meetings in 1860 and seemed to have forgotien liirn in 1861. but the boys in blue
led by that very mob, wearing epaulets,
inarched fiom State street to the Gulf because John Brown's " soul was moving on "
—that and the flag, only two " sentiments "
led the ranks.
Mr. Phillips then referred to the action of
the city in reference to the Jonathan Phillips fund, and said that if Mayor Quincy
could come lack he would rather have it expended for the saving of the Old South than
in erecting a statue to his memory.
Mr. Phillips closed as follows : Shelter
the mechanics under the foof; consecrate it
in its original form to a grand public use for
the common run of the people, the bone and
muscle. It will be the normal school of
politics. (Applause.) It will be the best
civil reform agency that the Republican
party can adopt and put into execution today. (Applause.)
The influences that linger in these old
walls will forbid those men to be the tools
of corruption or of tyranny, and at last in
their hands 1 shall go to my grave knowing
that neither need, greed, nor the- necessity
of wider streets, will t-ver desecrate wlr.it
:
Adams and Warren and Otis consecrated to
the liberties of man. (Applause.)
'• The Chairman then introduced the Rev.
W. H. H. Murray, who said Gentlemen
of Boston—l have read of a custom in
heathen lands, where after the feast and the
joy were ended they served up a human
sacrifice, and I feel that perhaps you have
feasted to your fill, until the cup of your joy
runs over, and you are ready for a sacrifice,
for you know that a man might as well die
oratorically as speak after Phillips. Mr.
Murray said that the Chairman had requested him to speak with special reference to the
money aspect of the case. He impressed
upon his hearers the necessity of work if
they would save the old building. The
question of values comes in to lie considered
in this meeting. You are a jury of appraisement. The great and living question
which comes before us is : Is this building
worthy of preservation ? There is no value
in anything material save as it benefits mankind ; and the measures of value is the
healthy, educational, salutary and sublime
influence which it has upon those who use
it. Unless this building can be utilized for
the benefit of the people it is belter that it
should go. The speaker claimed that it was
the spiritual and not the material which
made the value of a city, for a city which
possesses only material things may be swept
from the face of the earth. Mr. Murray
spoke of the destruction of ancient, historic
structures in Boston, and showed the extent
to which their absence would be felt in
future in emergencies. He said that he had
heard many suggestions concerning the use
to which the building should be put, and he
expressed his satisfaction with them all, Ins
only restriction being that it should not lie
prolaned by low uses. He thought that it
should be made a Westminster Abbey,
where future generations might come to
gaze upon the portraits of the founders of
the nation."
The above brief sketch of Rev. Mr. Murray's address 1 quote from the Boston Morning Journal of June 15th, but can give the
reader only a faint idea of the address as a
whole. He was truly eloquent, and 1 thought
aa much so as Mr. Phillips Mr. Murray is
a man of fine physical development and
great vital powers, now in the very youth of
his popularity as an eloquent pulpit orator,
attracting vast crowds every Sabbath.
I listened to those two gifted speakers
with an intense interest. The old building.
Revolutionary associations, the old sounding board" suspended by a rope over the
platform, the defaced walls, the noise of the
streets, the shouting and clamorous crowd,
the presence of the ladies in the galleries,
and many other attending circumstances, all
contributed to mnke the occasion one to be
long remembered.
Before the meeting closed, the announcement was made that funds had already been
pledged, partially sufficient to purchase the
building. An organization was formed and
officers chosen.
