There is something most suggestive about this motto of Geneva, which meets one so often here, carved with the coat of arms in every public place. There are various historical statements in reference to its origin.* But I like to think of it best as a kind of benedictionfallingonall ihe passers by, thatto weary and troubled and shadowed hearts it is a prophecy of a gladder and better time. Jf we will only look up and catch its blessed significance,—after the storm, peace; after the battle, victory; after the shadows, light I Through the days of this New Year S has been running in my mind and I send it on across the long, long miles of land and sea, trusting thnt it will find some one to whom it may whisper peace and cheer, as the years go on, " After the shadows, light." What a fortunate thing it was that I came to Geneva. I do not know of any place where a winter could be mare pleasantly passed unless it be Rome or—Honolulu. 1 have one of the most delightful rooms in this great building. My window frames almost daily for me a picture of blue sky and fleecy clouds. All Geneva is spread out before me, and in the evening its lamps twinkle like fire-flies. Farther on stretch the Alps crowned by Mt. Blanc, and very near, so near that 1 can see with wonderful distinctness every little boat that gleams on its surlace, lies lake Leman. I can sit at my window and read the thrilling story of Genevese struggle for liberty, and then look up to see the very scenes made memorable in this history. Through the blue haze are seen the shores of Savoy, and it is no difficult thing in imagination to see the troops of nrtiled warriors who once were passing in brave array* towards Geneva. All day long the warm, rich sunlight streams into my room, and I cannot think we are in the midst of winter.

" �26 THE Kill END, APRIL, 1877. pere hyacinths. , One of the pleasant events of the past week was a little dinner party at Monsieur Poullin's, where I met la Pere Hyacinthe " and his American wife, Madame Loyson. It was another of those kind acts which the Poullins have shown me*since being in Geneva. Father Hyacinthe is a noble looking man, reminding me somewhat of Mr. Beecher. He speaks the most beautiful French, but scarcely a word of English. His whole address is charming and easy, and I had a most excellent opportunity of seeing him in a family where he is most familiar and quite at home. I enjoyed seeing and talking with him extremely, but of the two Madame Loyson is the more interesting. She is a thoroughly practical, earnest, vigorous American woman, who lakes broad views of life, is cultured and refined in every respect, and is devoted in her love to her husband and the Reformed Catholic movement. She told me that for twelve years she was a memlier of Mr. Beecher's church, but at last she had lound that for which her heart hungered. They still hold to the Virgin, Confession, Transubstantiation. but not to the Pope All the things which I have mentioned they are modifying very much, so that Madame Loyson tald me that they stood in many respects very closely with the High Church party in England. What stand Pere Hyacinthe will take in the future is yet to be seen, of course very many think he will go no farther, and that he is not the stuff of which Reformers are made. Certainly he is a warmhearted, eloquent, lofty-spirited man They are most happy in their married life, and have one or two children. We had music—a number of hymns in French and English. Madame Loyson and I sang " Jesus Lover of my Soul," and we both felt that though our creeds might diner in minor respects, yet after all we had one common platform of hope, one common and blessed faith. The evening was one of the most pleasant I have spent in Geneva. Another delightful visit which 1 have made since being in Geneva was at " Pasteur Bards," where I breakfasted. J came to " Sunday School Times. They are better acquainted, I imagine, with the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting than many who live much nearer the place. Last week was the Week of Prayer which was observed with much interest at Geneva. A prayer meeting every day and preaching in the evening. They are getting to sing Sankey Hymns with much sweetness, and you can imagine how pleasant it is to hear these sweet hymns in French. There seem to be runny earnest christians here and some of the pastors make earnest addresses. Sunday nfternoon, I went to the celebration of the communion, at the close of the week of prayer. It was a most interesting season, and rendered doubly so to me, by the sur- and still in the sunlight of this winter after- noon, knowing that we were going to the spot of which Caesar wrote so many centuries ago, that we could in the light of the present scene and its surroundings feel the shadows of the past gliding away, don't you think we should find there was a kind of fascination in this old Latin author of which we had never dreamed before ? From my window I can watch the shadows as they come and go on the Jura. Daily I walk by the Rhone and Lake Leman. You remember "Erant omnino itinera duo, quibus itineribvs dorno metre possent: itnum per Sequanos, angustum et difficile, inter montern, Juram et Jtumen RhodiHmm," etc., and then ngaw speaking of the boundaries of the Helvetia, tenia lucu et " famine flhodano, gui provinciam," etc., really I musn't quote so much Latin but you see 1 quite forget myself in my eagerness to show you what a delightful way we would have of studying C_sar if we could only all meet here some day. Let us hope that this may yet be, or at least let me wish for you the same pleasant experiences which I am now having. rounding circumstances, and people. Here were many whose ancestors had grandly laid the foundation of the liberty which we were that afternoon enjoying. At the close of the exercises a blind old Pasteur, Mons. Vernet asked God's blessing upon us all in a most touching manner. Dr. Schaff spent a week in Geneva on his way to Palestine. While here he met a number of the clergymen of Geneva and made arrangements with tliem in reference the escalade. to the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance I haven't the slightest intention of writing in Berne, in 1878.

This is ofcourse only thefaint out-line, it is impossible to give more here. But this triumph of the Genevese was one of the grand incidents in history and on the issue of that tumultuous night hung most important events. There is something thrilling in the unanimous and vigorous action of this city beset by such tremendous difficul- ties. The citizens have loved to commemoFor many years its anniversary was the great fete of the town. But of late years its observance has degenerated very much and is now confined mainly to the exploits of maskers in the streets. All manner of songs took their rise in incidents of that heroic night. 1 have before me most fascinating accounts as given by the chroniclers, of the brave deeds and thrilling escape of many of the Genevese. With my heart and head full of these I have visited with much interest the old Arsenal, where are collected many relics of the event. Here stand the grim and ancient armor of Savoyards who fell in the conflict. The heavy helmet of one of the besiegers is still preserved; near by the ugly petard with which he hoped to make his way into the city; you see the dark lantern, the scaling ladders, the arms and many other things which tell you so much more plainly than can chronicles or ballads the story of that fierce struggle for liberty in the streets of Geneva. Back of the old church of St. Gervais is the grave of the citixets " who fell for the Republic." Simple and plain is the stone which marks their resting place, but very eloquent in its simplicity. One experiences the oddest revulsion of feelings in coming back to real and every day life after spending an hour or two in the shadows of the past. The old concierge with his ponderous keys opens the daors of church or relic-room, and you are almost blinded by the glare and the rush of the outside world, and all your sentiment for the moment takes wings, and you wonder if you were the same person who had stood a few moments before, looking down the vista which some picture or memory had opened up before you. a polyglot school. After my rambles in the old town, I come back to a most delightful home, where tbe hearty and healthy life and spirit ol fifty or sixty school boys is an excellent preventive against any unwise tarrying in the domain of the past. Perhaps in no one school in the world are gathered just now more nationalities. They come from nearly every country of Europe, and along the shores of the Mediterranean.

They cannot but go back to their homes with broader views of life and with a larger charity and sympathy and friendship for men of all other nations. As I have said the location of the school is very fine. Beautiful country places with wide spreading lawns and noble trees are on every side.

One meets students at every turn. Private families are often glad to take boarders who are desirous of acquiring the French and specially is this true often times in the homes of clergymen and professors. Tbe public schools are of a superior order. Certainly the opportunities ibr acquiring French and that too of the purest type are excellent. I can not think of a more charming place for a family to come tor a winter, when the parents are desirous to have tbe children become acquainted with souic of the modern European languages. During this winter nearly every evening lectures have been given, on almost every theme, political, historical, literary, geographical, etc., etc. One cannot tail to be immediately struck with .the intellectual atmosphere of the place. All these lectures of which I have spoken are entirely free and are for all who are willing to come. Important as is the acquisition of French and German for our American children, I am more and more convinced that the larger share of their education should be among English speaking people. ll' they are to live on the Continent of course it would be different. But No spot has a greater fascination for me. Its towers dominate the whole city, you see tbem from every direction and they seem to keep watch and ward over this brave and heroic people century after century. Hourly its bells chime suit, sweet music which comes floating down the old streets which lead to the quiet court of St. Pierre. In its shadow the school hoys play and pcopie come and go, and now and then some traveler pauses to think of all those gray and ancient walls have seen and heard. Here the pomp and gorgeousnees of Romish ritual has given place to tbe simple service and sweet hymns of the Relormcrß. Its niches are free from statues, but its fine old gothic arches still stand, fitting symbol of pure and lofty aspirations. Its history runs back to the tenth or twelth century and tradition says that it ia built on the Inundations of an old temple of Apollo Here Calvin preached and stirred the hearts and faith of his listeners. Here old Theodore dc lleza led the city alter the fearful night of the Escalade and sung tbe psalm of thanksgiving.

Its bells have called together the brave cititens in times of trouble and danger, nnd have pealed lorth pseans of victory.

From this document we learn, that according to his theory : The Polynesians were originally members of the" Aritin race, belonging to some outlaying branch of that race in the direction of Susiana and as far as Belouchistan and tbe head of the Persian Gulf.'' From that region, they wandered, during the last two thousand years, through India, and the Indian Archipelago, until they debouched in the Pacific Ocean and effected a temporary foothold in the Fiji Group, sufficiently " long however to leave indelible traces of themselves in the Fijian language and on many of its legends as well as the customs—that finally expelled from there by the hostile Papuan race, they scattered over the various groups in tho southern, eastern, and northeastern parts ol the Pacific now held by them; that tribal inter- course was intermittently, more or less, kept up for a long time between the various branches of the Polynesian family until, at last, isolation, new conditions of life, and other deteriorating causes combined to obliterate, to confuse and to over-lay with new and more and more crude ideas, the arts, the culture, the creeds and legends which they brought with them from tbeir former homes beyond the setting sun.' " ' We are confident such a book as Mr. Fornander proposes to publish, will be perused with interest by all interested in the migration of races and their origin. We understand that, it is proposed to publish the work in Europe. It is just in the line of publications issued, by the celebrated publishers, Trubner & Co., of London, and we hope it will be carried successfully through the press. Such scholars and philologists as Max Muller will be found among iteager readers. Our interest in the Polynesians, is deep and abiding. A writer in our columns of January, 1876, while writing about the " Poetic Possibilities of the Pacific," thus refers to the Polynesian race : " Coming from a common parent-stock in tbe dim past have these ocean-dwellers found new homes among tbe countless islands of tbe Pacific The mystery which enshrouds their origin is poetry itself, but he who may yet come to sing their birth mutt chant too tbe requiem tome placed these guns on ground presented to H.

Has not the time arrived when the Hawaiian Government, British subjects, or some other public spirited body, should take steps for the proper commemoration of the Discovery of the Hawaiian Islands? We sincerely hope this memorable event in the annals of maritime discovery, commerce and civilization will not be allowed to pass unnoticed. Who will take the initiative steps? This event should not be deemed devoid of interest by Americans. Let it be remembered, that John Ledyard, the celebrated American traveler, was attached to Captain Cook's Exploring Expedition, and even wrote a narrative of Cooks's death. Ledyard's journal is now deposited in the British Museum. The following paragraph, copied from (he January number of the American " Bibliotheca Sacra," and contained in an excellent article on " Governmental Patronage of Knowledge," indicates how essentially Dr. Franklin's policy contributed to the advancement of knowledge and the honor of Young America: " In the very heat of our war lor independence, Dr. Franklin, as Plenipotentiary of the United States in France, forbade American privateers to molest the squadron with which the British discoverer, Captain Cook, was circumnavigating the globe. France, in the interest of science, is said lo have laid a similar interdict on her cruisers. It is certain that Franklin did, and on those of Spain also. In acknowledgment of Franklin's magnanimity the British Admiralty sent him, as from the king, a presentation copy of Cook's voyages and a gold medal."

DeaothCHfaK Another link and almost the last, has been severed of ihoee that connected Ibe Hawaiian Chiefs of tbe daws of Kamebamcha and tbe present generation. His Highness Charles Kanaioa, father t,f the late King Lunalilo, died in tbia oily on Tuesday evening, March 18tb, st tbe age of seventy-six Tbe deceased, though not a high chief by birth, was all bia life an Intimate friend and companion of prominent individuals of that class. He was the pitnahele or companion of Kamehatneba 11., and was married in 1826 lo Kekauluohi, (a daughter of Kamehameha 1.,) who held the offioe of Kubina Nui, or Premier, from 188» to 1849, tbe date of her death. He was a member of the House of Nobles and of the Privy Council of State, and Knight Grand Cross of tbe Orders of Kamehameha and Kalakana. The remains lay in state for several houra during Wednesday, March 14, at tbe late residence of tbe deceased, Haimoeipo, and were viewed by numerous visitosi. His Majesty the King was present, accompanied by tbe Cabinet Ministers and members of the Privy Council, and attended by his suite. On Thursday, March 16, tbe Attorney Generalapplied to the Supreme Court for tbe appointment of Trustees under Ibe 3d article of the will of Lunalilo, which was admitted to probate on tbe 12th of March 1874. The provisions of that article in substance ant aa follows: That after tbe death of his father. Charity Kanalna. and Hia Majesty Kamehameha V, Ihe testator dying without issue, all tbe real estate of which he might die seized, was bequeathed to three Trustees to be appointed by the Justices of the Supreme Court, to be held in trust, for the purpose of sale nnd investment of proceeds until the Bum of 825.000 shall be obtained, the suid Trustees to expend that umounl In purchase of land and the erection of a building or buildings oa Oahu, " For the use and accommodation of poor, destitute aod inllim people of Hawaiian (aboriginal) blood or attraction, giving preference to old people.'' The following are the Trustees appointed by the Court: Hon. J. Motl Smith. Ilofi. E. O. Hall. Sanford B. Dole. Esq. Tbe funeral took plaoe on Thursday, Mnrch 20th, and tho remains were deposited in tbe Mausoleum erected by tbe decessed in Kawaiabao Cemetery, by the side of bis son, King Lunalilo. He died intestate, leaving a large property in real estate in various parts of the islands, and as there is said to be qnite a number of kinsmen of the deceased now living, a considerable amount of litigation may be anticipated over the disposition of Ihe property, aside frnm tbe bequest hy Lunalilo of $26,000 for obaritable purposes. The following is tho order of procession of the funeral: . IS.:. Death ok the Key. B. W. I'aiiheh.—Mr. Parker's life was ons of labor and change ; of disappointment and success. Born at Reading, Mass., in October, 1003, he graduated at Ambsrst College in 1829, and at Andover Theological Seminary In 1832, and he with bis wife embarked for tbe Hawaiian Islands the same year, in company with Rev. Lowell Smith and Key. John Diell, seamen's ouaplain, for Honolulu. After a short resilience at Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Parker sailed for the Marquesas islands in company with Messrs. Alexander and Armstrong and their wives. July 2d, is:;:;, where they arrived August 10th. Here unnumbered di-coiinigemcnts awaited them. They found themselves among cannibals, delighting in every kind of wickedness. '-The fountains of moral life were all corrupt, and tbe whole aspect of society was wretched, vile, repulsive." And in addition to all these discouragements, tbey learned that the London Missionary Society claimed the Sold.

He spared not himself, and hie labors were sometimes interrupted hy ill health. For this cause he was under the necessity of leaving Kaneobe about eight, years ago. But he was not one to be idle when he bad strength to work. A few years ago he became a teacher in the Hawaiian Tbeologioal School at Honolulu ; and in preparing for the work of instruction, and in tcacbiog, he was diligent and faithful. When tbe message came to blm, be was at bis loved employ teaching bis class how to proclaim the glad tidings. He was obliged to leave the lesson unfinished.

(Communicated.l "Hope Full of Immortality." This beautiful expression is found in the wisdom of Solomon, one of the books of the Apocrypha, supposed to have been written about 100 years before Christ. There are few references to immortality in the Old Testament. The clearest is found in Daniel, 12:2, " many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." Jacob in his interview with Pharaoh, speaks of his life as a pilgrimage ; Genesis, 47:9, and referring to this language the writer of Hebrews affirms that "they who say such things declare plainly that they seek a country, even a heavenly, confessing themselves to be strangers and sojourners on earth." The expression is of quite frequent occurrence in the Old Testament, "gathered to his people." It dimly shadows forth the idea of immortality and it would seem that this idea became clearer and this hope stronger, at the generations passed from Malichi, the last of the. Hebrew Prophets, to the writer of the wisdom of Solomon, a period of about 300 years. This is in accordance with the idea of President Edwards, who, in hia " history of redemption," shows that from Adam down through the ages there was a gradual increase of light on the glorious theme of man's salvation. The beloved disciple beautifully points out the tendency ot" the hope that is full of immortality. This hope passes lightly over the things that perish with their using, and grasps the eternal, the satisfying. Said the Psalmist, " I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness." Pslnins, 17:15, so John points to something, thnt the thought of man has not reached. "It doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know thnt, when we shall appear, we shall Is? like him ; for we shall see him as he is. And every one that hnth this hope in him ptirifieth himself, even as he is pure." I John, .'!:_ &' 3. When the Lord Jesus tabernacled in the flesh, his disciples beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father; but that was a veiled glory, like the sun just appearing through the clouds; yet it was enough to win their strongest love and to raise their conceptions in a wonderful manner. " Exalted to be a Prince antl a Saviour," he baa resumed his former state as " tli«> brightness of the Father's glory," and it was to see him in this unveiled glory, ami to be like him that his disciples aspired. " Every one thnt hath this hope purifieth himself, even as he is pure." What he hopes for he will strive to obtain. If his great hope is the holiness of heaven, n likeness to the Lord Jesus, he will ever be learning of him, who was meek and lowly of henrt and growing into his likeness. Without this hope, there will be no increase in moral excellence and no 32 YMoennH A'gsCochiartf onolulu. Liquor and Religion Liquor costs the inhabitants of America at least §600,000,000 a year. The total contributions for church and benevolent purposes dojnot exceed $50,-000,000 per annum. In 1872 there were 03,082 churches of all denominations, while the number of places where intoxicating drinks were sold was 248,992, nearly four to every church. Going a little further in the line of statistics we find that while 83,-637 ministers are laboring to make men better, there. arc half a million of persons engaged in making and selling intoxicating drinks. There are not less than 16,000,000 daily visits paid to dram shops in the United Stales, while there are not over 11,000,000 church members to visit the poor anil unhappy in their afflictions. There are at least 60,000 drunkards' deaths every year, one poor wretch falling into a drunkard's grave every ten minutes from the beginning of January lo the end of December of every year. "Home," says Dr. Channing, "is the chief school of human virtue. Its responsibilities, joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes, and solicitudes form the chief interests of human life. Go where a man may, home is the centre to which his heart turns. The thought of his home nerves his arm nnd lightens his toil. For that his heart yearns when he is afar oIH There he garners up his best treasures. God hns ordained for all men alike the highest earthly happiness in providing for all the sanctuary of home." A clergyman, in a village in Massachusetts, found his hearers diminishing day by day, and consulted an old Scotch sea-faring man, as to why the people would not come to church.
