Retirement of Judge Allen.
At tho departure of our Chief Justice as
Minister Resident at Washington, lawyers,
judges, public officers, and His Majesty have expressed* their thoughts, perhaps a few words
may not be inappropriate on our part. We have
known tbe Judge for Dearly thirty years, and
more than forty years ago, we heard his honored
father lecture on political economy, in Amherst
College. If the son was fortunate in having a
most honornhle, upright and estimable father, so
that father was equally honored by having a son
follow in his footsteps. Both have been members
of Congress. We first knew him as U. S.
Consul in 1850; Dext as Minister of Finance;
then followed his career as Chief Justice and
Chancellor, to be succeeded by that of Minister
Bethel Vestry and Repairs.
The Finance and Building Committees
have about completed the work entrusted to
them by a vote of the friends of the Bethel,
and the following is a statement of the receipts and expenditures as they now stand
on the books of the Chaplaincy :

The above statement does not include a

dollars.
In rendering the foregoing, the Chaplain
would return his sincere thanks to all those
who have contributed in any way for the
New Vestry and repairs. So many have
enjoined not to publish their names in connection with their donations, that all are
omitted ; but they are duly recorded upon
the books of the Chaplaincy, and are open
for the inspection of any one interested in
referring to the same.

cial life. In all these numerous relations he
has ever displayed the same admirable ability, tact
and good sense. Most heartily can we congratulate
him on his honorable retirement and departure for
Washington. Few men have fulfilled life's duties
mora honorably and satisfactorily. Boasting is

would be at the close of a long, useful and prosperous public career, for a kipg onoe said, " Let

Missionary Meeting.—Last Sabbath evening
at Fort Street Church, the Micronesian missiona-
ries—Messrs. Taylor, Snow and Bingham, made
most interesting addresses relating to their respective fields of labor, and the general work in
that part of Polynesia. It appears that the gospel is advancing. One group after another is
gradually laying aside heathenism for Christianity. No part of the wide field is now more interesting than that of the Mortlock group, where
native teachers have only been laboring two
years, and already churches have been gathered
numbering 300 members. We intend publishing
a more full report after bearing tbe report of the
Rev. Mr. Taylor, returning from his mission delegate, E. Bailey, Esq. The cruise of tbe

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 1.
FIRST WORDS.
If it is true, as some one has said, that
every Frenchman who visits America, on
his return writes a book, it is equally true
that every American who crosses the Atlantic, sooner or later, gives the world the benefit of his European impressions in the form
of newspaper letters. We find this übiquitous American in every land ; he leads you
with his untiring pen into far northern
climes and brings you buck to your quiet
home and fireside with memories of glittering ice-fields and Arctic sens, or astounds
you with some new discovery in the fiery
heart of Africa; and he is beginning to tell
you secrets of China and Japan, of which
the innocent dwellers there never heard.
But Europe is after all his favorite domain.
Of Europe he never wearies ; he describes
London with the fervor which a western
man feels in telling you of his city which
was born but yesterday and to-day is nearly
full-grown.
You would fancy that the
Belvedere had in him its first interpreter and revealer, that Michael Angelo
had been his familiar friend or that he had
chatted with Titian on the mysteries of
color. He gives you the exact height of
every spire in every city and the pedigree
of every noble family whose time-worn tomb
he has visited, and often continuous columns
are redolent of Baedeker, Murray, Appleton,
Harper, etc., etc.
Yet after all this letter-writing tendency
has its very bright side. We have read
year after year descriptions of the same
scenes and places and people, with air unflagging interest till this old world came to
seem like some dear and familiar spot. So
that when its shores first greeted us it was
with the welcome of a home from which we
had been absent far too long Doubly is
this true of those who have once seen its
shrines and treasures, and who weave about
each new account, however prosaic, the rosy
web of memories of sunny days that are
gone. To each new comer the great and
shadowy past voices its history and lessons.
The centuries become long vistas, as in
some grand old cathedral, through whose
hush and gloom, lighted now and then by
jeweled gleams of sunlight and fragrant with
the perfumes of unseen censers, you hear

flashing serpents. The windows of countless shops shine with diamonds and gold ;
innumerable mirrors increase the lustrous
effect till you are almost lost in this brilliant
carnival of light. Paris reigns at night.
One cannot fail to be immediately struck
by the marvelous strides this wonderful city
has taken since the last war. After defeats
which would have disheartened almost any
other nation, the French have grown financially stronger from day to day. While the
queen-city, with the ruins which the wild
Commune caused, still black and smouldering, has risen Phoenix-like into a new beauty.
There is something inspiring, something con,
lagious in the quenchless hope which characterizes the French. Though they may
lack some of the essentials of real greatness
and success, they teach the world a royal
lesson in this undaunted .spirit of perseverance in the face of disaster. Very general interest is now manifested in
THE EXPOSITION OF 1878,
And not only the grounds necessary for the
exposition but all Paris is to be put in
readiness for this event. We have before
us a weekly illustrated paper, '• L'Exposition dc 1878," which gives full accounts of
the plans for the buildings; publishes the
official decrees and documents, and keeps
the public fully informed in reference to all
that pertains to the subject. The exposition
will be held in the Champ-de-Mars where
was also the exposition of 1b67. This is an
extensive and open space on the left bank of
the Seine famous for many of the great
military reviews which have here taken
place and for other events of importance in
the history of Paris. Here will be placed
the main building which is to be of immense
extent, the plans having already been decided upon. The various nations will here
arrange their products of art and industry
which will be placed in a manner most convenient for study and observation. On the
opposite bank of the Seine is the Trocadero
connected with the Champ-de-Mars by the
Pont a' Jena. This is destined for the agricultural exhibitions, stands for animals, for
models in reference to navigation, minim:,
etc. On the height, from which there is a
magnificent view of Paris, a vast structure
will be reared, destined to remain after the
exposition has closed. The grounds will be
laid out with gardens and fountains and
diversified with Swiss chalets, Chinese pagodas, English cottages, etc., so that as
some one has said, " you can make the tour
of the world not in eighty days, but in
eighty minutes." This exposition will be
watched with the greatest interest, especially
by Americans. It occurs so soon after that
in America that it villi not be a difficult
thing to draw a comparison. In one respect
this cannot fail to be favorable to our " Centennial," namely,.the location. The Champde-Mars is a flat and level space, while Fairmount Park
offered the rarest opportunities
in its great variety of surface. We shall
never forget the exquisite beauty of its winding walks, and lakes, and ravines into whose
shadows the sunlight glinted through the
royal canopies which the leaves of autumn
made. French art will undoubtedly do
much to imitate nature, but it cannot be nature. Probably the European displays will

a review of the work : "To sum up all the
results of the meetings can only be done when
Christ comes for His church, but its influence
is evident in every direction. The church
has been revived, the ministry quickened,
and many persons converted. All classes of
the community have had the gospel preached
to them, and for weeks all circles have been
more or less interested in the' meetings.
Much good seed has been sown, and much
of it has already sprung up into everlasting
life. The most marked work has been
among men addicted to the use of strong
drink. Three daily meetings, for this class,
have been held, and intensely interesting
meetings they have been. Those conversant

Letter from Japan.
Kiyoto, Nov. 23, 1876.
I used to think at timet 1 worked pretty
hard on Micronesia, but 1 think I do more
here. The climate is inspiring, and I move
at times as if on springs. Indeed I seem
not to have lost that quickening, energizing
power that met me as I landed from tbe
Star in Honolulu some two years since.
The climate of Japan is for me delightful.
Our falls are perfectly splendid, frost late,
winds and rains light, and clouds of tbe
right thickness and number to shade the
sun—and so the days and weeks roll
along in a sort of delirium of delight.
And Nature too paints as on New England's
hill.". Just now the woods are aflame with
Japan's wonderful maple tree. Some that
redden up as they die, have gone into the
deepest scarlet in which to blush away life,
and it gives such beauty to the woods that
makes one wild almost.
I am finding work in the training school
here; have a class of five youths, graduates
from a government school, who use English
well; am taking them through O. Text

The good work is prospering; the Lord is
working here not a little marvelously strange.
The city is not open as a. free city—one can
get in here only by special permission. The
missionaries are here under or by means of
Mr. Neaimd's. school professedly his.
The influence in the city is against us. Tfie

with all this opposition, and it is only a year
since weentered— since any missionaries entered—and we have now one training school
for boys, of 70 members ; one girls' school
of 15—this organized within the past six
weeks; haveforty different places to preach
in on the Sabbath ; work for all our thirty
young men preparing to preach the gospel,
and three churches are soon to be organized.
The mind of the Japanese is inquiring, remarkably so, and it is now hungering for
something better than cold Budhism can
give it or the still colder Shintooism. Not
unfrequently do 1 hear of Japanese who have
gone through the first, then the latter, then
Confuscianim, then into blank Atheism !
And some of these have found the gospel of
Jesus to be to their burthened hearts all
they want.
We are now breaking ground for a Christian college,—and it is needed, the native
mind is calling for it—our work calls for it

Regular instruction is maintained in the duties of
seamanship and in ordinary English btaucbes At
the end of the present cruise, the annual examination will be held, and a large numler of the boys
now on board will be sent to sea in merchant and
other vessels. Very good progress has been made
in all studies, and the discipline of the boys is highly satisfactory, giving promise of the success of the
original idea, which was to provide an occupation to
poor boys and also to train u better class of seamen
for American ships. A similar school has been established in New York, and it is proposed to establish them at Philadelphia aud New Orleans.—P. C.

The Lesson of the Hills.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence Cometh
my help.—Pa. cnl.
0 restful hills
Lifting ever, thine unchanging,
Yet ever varying brows lo the
Fitful ikies—
At times
The storm crowns thy wooded summits
With darkening, angry masses
Flashing forth 11, dreaded power.
While trailing watery veils hang o'er
Thy nestling glens.
Yet when at last,
Its passion spent. Its artillery
■silenced; It sullenly withdraws
lib last broken remnants of cloud.
Thou lifiest ever to the still
Threatening skies, thine unruffled
Browß, while singing rill and
nilatenlng tree sheltered in thy
Majestic calm, proclaim thy
Victory o'er Ihe elemental strife.
But oftener, far oftener
When weary eyes aeek rest and peace
From contemplating thee, the
Calm sunlight Is lighting up
The glens, thy sides adorning.
And flooding all thy bosom;
While lender cloudlets In Heecy
Groupings float over thee,aud
Adown thy calm front cast their
Grateful moving shadows.
1 turn to thee
O restful hills, at times as does the
Gladsomeaun, whose first rays
Light thy summit'B hour, and chase
Away the lasy night clouds resting
There. Again aa does the triumphant
Sun, when in meridian glory. He
Sends his rays unto the silent
Sweet recesses of ihy deep gorges
Tosparkle In Ihy cooling waterfalls.
But whenihe toil of day
Is o'er, I tarn to thee as does ihe
Betting sun, who sends ttie tender
Radiance of his last bright smile
Across the glowing waters up to
Thee.
Whatrestful patience,
What trusting peace, thou teacheat
O storm beleaguered, thunder
Rivenhills, when in Ihe calm
Of even-tide thou ailtest In that
Flood offlushing milium light.
Its deepening glories hide from sight
r,nch mark of conflict. Kacli

Like theexpiring psalm of angelic
Chotrfl, and the trusting sou!

Thy peace, O restful bills.
Jesus brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel.
This is not the way terminating in life, of
which the Savior speaks ; but a way leading
into life and going on without end. It is an
endless progress in knowledge, in holiness,
and in happiness ; a never-ending development ef the capacities of the immortal soul
t» learn and to enjoy ; a never-ceasing process of being changed into the image of the
all-perfect, the infinite. This way leads
upwards, and as the traveler presses on, his
horizon enlarges at every advance, and his
vision becomes clearer and more far-reaching
to take in the prospect ever presenting new
attractions and glories. We must not regard
heaven as a state of inactivity, or of a place
" where congregations never break up," and
praise meetings have no pause. The aspirations of men in this life urge them on to
ceaseless activity ; some for the things that
perish with their using, others for the imperishable, just as their desires prompt them.
Those who can say with the Psalmist, "as
the heart panteth after the water brooks, so
panteth my soul after thee, O God," may
look forward to the other world with the
assured anticipation that this intense longing
will be gratified. The soul of the Psalmist
followed hard after God ; language denoting
his earnest efforts to know God and to be
C.
" Lead Me in the Way Everlasting,"
Thus prayed the sweet Psalmist of Israel.
That the ancient Hebrews were believing in
the immortality of the soul, is evident from
the fact that they confessed that they were
"
strangers and pilgrims on the earth," this
very conffcsion implying that " they were
aspiring after a better country, even a heavenly." Yettheir ideas of the future state
could not have been very clear ; for the Lord
like Him. His increasing meditation upon
the word and works of God, and his progress
in this divine knowledge gave evidence of
his persevering efforts ; for thus he became
wiser than all his teachers. Now we may
reasonably believe that these activities continue, and are intensified in the future life.
We are beset with mysteries in every part
of our mortal career, which we are utterly
unable to explain. The domain of knowledge is so barren and so extensive that no
human intellect can explain. Even Newton,
a philosopher surpassed by none, remarked,
a short time before his death,"! seem to
myself to have been only like a boy playing
on the sea shore, and diverting myself in
now and then finding a smoother pebble, or
a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the
great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered
before me." What a glorious work for the
future life to find out these mysteries, and
explore this ocean ! And with every increase
of knowledge to grqw into the likeness of
the Infinite One ! This surely is the way
everlastiny to be led in, which the Psalmist'
prayed, and in sympathy with thePsalmist's
prayer is that beautiful hymn—
my God to Tbee,
" Nearer
Nearer to Thee."
Auqois.
Origin of the New York Y. M. C. A.
New York, Nov. 20, 1876.
Editors of the N. Y. Observer:
Gentlemen—ln the Observer of November 16, I notice an article upon the Young
Men's Society of thts city, organized about
1831. The writer, at the close, states that
the present Young Men's Christian Association grew out of the broken elements of
the young Men's Society, which had disbanded owing to some political excitement
and discussion introduced into its meetings.
As a modification ot this statement, allow
me to recall a few points relating to the
incipient steps taken, and which resulted in
the organization of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city.
It is just twenty-five years ago this
month that three gentlemen,—viz.: Messrs.
H. K. Bull, Milton St. John, and O. T.
Woodford,—met at my house to hear a
statement respecting the Young Men's
Christian Association of London, the workings of which I had become familiar with
during a twelve months' residence in England ; and also to consider the feasibility of
having such an Association in this city.
Several meetings were held at private residences, and the whole question calmly discussed ; the leading pastors were counselled
with, and the preliminary steps resulted in a
public meeting, held in the lecture room of
the Mercer street church. Dr. Geo. T.
Bedell presided, and the late Chancellor
Ferris made an explanatory address. It
was there and then decided to form the New
York Young Men's Christian Association,
and some five hundred subscribed themselves
as ready to unite in such a movement.
At subsequent meetings a Constitution
and By-Laws were framed, and prominent
in the discussion upon the cardinal points
were Dr. Howard Crosby, the late Jesse W.
Benedict, Esq., and other leading Christian
men. 1 well remember the first public
meeting of the Association at its rooms in
the old Stuyvesant Library building, Broadway, opposite Bond street. The chair was
taken by its first President, O. T. Woodford, Esq,, and a very able and earnest
address made by the late Daniel Lord, Esq.
The subsequent history of the Association
you are familiar with, as well as its noble
work, in the hands of those who have been
and are its friends. My chief aim in this
communication is, .through the New York
Observer, to put the matter on record in its
proper shape, and that credit may be given
to the parent Association of London for the
solidity and permanence engrafted into the
Association here, and which have tended to
carry it through many threatening storms.
Yours very sincerely,
Geo. H. Petrie.
At the Episcopal Church Congress
one of the speakers maintained the doctrine
that " every man who gets drunk, be he high
or low, should be imprisoned in the coimnon
jail, like any offender against the peace and
security of society."
