INT.. * F THE RIEND. : Peiety, : �I lIX FRIEND, 34 Greek church ; she has most broad and char- itable ideas, and longs for a union between all Christian believers. She has evidently read and thought much. 1 hare attended recently two very interesting lectures, one on, Byron and the other on Walter Scott. Last Thursday evening I spent very pleasantly at Madame Merle D'Aubigne'*. She is a most cordial and warm-hearted woman, the second wife of the historian. She is one of those persons whom you love at first sight. Her pleasant lace looks out at you most brightly from under her soft widow's cap. She has four children, two sons and two daughters. The old home of D'Aubigne is down on the shore of the lake, and there the family still live. The great arm chair was drawn up by the fire, and you felt as if he might soon come in to take it. He died about five years ago, his health continuing wonderfully good up to the last. He retired one Sunday evening, which he had spent most pleasantly with his family, and when in the morning he seemed so late in rising, they went to call him, he was beyond the reach of earthly voices, for his eyes had opened on a better waked in heaven." Madame told me nil about it in her earnest way, of the dreadful shock to her and yet of the joy she found in this peaceful translation. Then she gave me many facts about his life and writings, and many interesting things, but these at another time. She assured me that I was always welcome and that the library was always at my service. We had tea and cake passed around, conversation on various topics, and closed our pleasant evening together by singing " Rock of Ages." By the way, Pasteur Bard, Madame D'Aubigne and others here are very much interested in a little missionary museum, in connection with the "Salle dc la Reformation." Conld not a few missionary articles—an idol perhaps, some tapn and a few curiosities of different kinds, be collected and sent by one of Hackfeld's vessels to Bremen? I just throw out this idea, thinking that it would be interesting to have n connecting link between Honolulu and prospect, in truth he had " this old city of Calvin. I know nothing would please the good people better. [If any of our readers are disposed to respond to this appeal, their contributions should be sent before the first of June.— Ed] ROUSSEAU AND GENEVA. History shows us that some of the greatwhich the world loves to honor, are connected with countries which, geographically, are of but limited extent. It would seem almost as if there was- some grand compensation in this; that while to one nation was given armies and wealth and great commerce and wide extent of territory, another finds its share to be a few, royally gifted sons whose thoughts are its choice treasures. If this is true, Switzerland should have a foremost place in the latter class. Somewhere Voltaire says in his brilliant satirical way, " when I shake my wig its powder dusts all the Republic." Yet this little commonwealth, nestling at the base of its mighty mountains, has furnished thought for Europe and the world. Geneva and est names HAY, 1877. vicinity have been the centre where we find its fullest manifestation and a score or more of brilliant names meet you in looking into the literary, scientific and religious history of the place. Perhaps no name is more prominent than that of that most eccentric, incomprehensible, magnificently gifted man, Jean Jacques Rousseau, who loved to style himself " a citizen of Geneva." Among the very first objects upon which the eye of the stranger and traveler rests on arriving in the city, is his statue upon a small island in the Rhone/ He is represented in a sitting posture, with one hand lifted, holding a pen with which he will soon note the thought which is now occupying his attention. The figure is finely draped and the conception of the whole statue is admirable. The fine head and forehead are distinctly emphasized in the bronze, and the lines which give to this thoughtful face so much expression, the look of genius touched with a sad, wistful longing, tell that the artist was not unworthy of his subject. The statue is the work of Pradier who has achieved great success in his art and was also a citizen of Geneva. The Isle Rousseau murks the point where the Rhone issues from Lake Leinan. A few trees group themselves about the statue which stands in the centre of the little island. Here the good people of Geneva love to come in summer evenings, and thousands of visitors make this one of the places to be noted in their tour. By day it is a constant pleasure to watch ihe beautiful white swans that come and go about it, in the gloriously blue waters of the Rhone. And at night when the thousand lamps of Geneva gleam forth, you might almost fancy the little isle turned a gondola from which you view the fairy spectacle of Venetian • life. There are many perhaps who would think it a blessing to mankind if the name of Rousseau was forgotten rather than perpetuated by statues and praise. Yet as time goes on, more and more marked is seen to be that genius which wrought such a revolution in Europe. But in admiring its brilliant productions, one is shocked by the moral stain which rests upon them. A life of the strangest experiences, of wild, extravagant theories, dwarfed and crippled by n wretched childhood, yet bursting forth into the most superb poetry of expression, and capable of noblest aspirations. In him you seem to find a vision as of light and darkness, of tenderest and bitterest sentiments, of worship and blasphemy, an endless contradiction ! And whence came this strange being whom, Sainte-Beure calls " the swallow, which an* nounced a new spring for the French language." He was born in Geneva in 1712 in one of the streets of the old town, which everybody visits now. His father was a watch-maker of no enviable reputation, and all Rousseau's early life is a sad record of neglect and abuses. He fled from Geneva, and in Turin was led to embrace Catholicism. After this we find him following all manner of professions, and at last he comes to Paris where he gains friends and assistance. A prize being offered 'by the academy of Dijou for the best essay on a given theme, Rousseau was the successful competitor. This was the beginning of his literary career. His magnificent style electrified Europe. He inaugurated new and beneficial reforms, while at the same time he wrought incalculable harm. His musical language can not veil often the impurity of the underlying thought. The heights which he would attain in theory, are lost sight of in practice. There is something most pitiful in the sight of this splendidly gifted soul, living in the false and unreal world of its own creation. A very king in intellect, and yet the chained slave of ignoble fears, passing the years terrified by imaginary dangers, at war with a hostile, world, finding enemies in friends, joyless, sombre, dying with the real beauty and sweetness of life, unfelt and untasted. Geneva is proud of his genius, though Kousseuu's principles found cold welcome in this city of the Reformation. What of purity and simplicity there is in his writings can be traced to the influence of his native city and its religious atmosphere. And in the grand mountains and beautiful lake which chnrmed his early years he found his chief inspiration, as the Apostle of the beautiful in the outer world, a title which he most justly deserves. So that it seems appropriate that through the years his mute statue should sit facing the blue lake and snowy Alps which he loved so well, • the hotel dc ville. This is a very interesting place to visit, situated in the heart of the old town and reached by a perfect labyrinth of streets. If the Cathedral may be regarded as sharing in all the religious history of Geneva, the Hotel dc Ville is equally represented in its political annals. It is built in the Florentine style, around a hollow square, having a very singular passage way, extending from the lower court to the stories abovo. This is bo constructed that soldiers on horseback and carriages could ascend without difficulty. How imny times in the stormy history of the town has it been crowded with excited citizens, hurrying to consult and deliberate on their rights ! Here the Council of State now holds its session. Many documents of the greatest importance are carefully preserved here, and papers which testify to the grand struggle of a brave people for the precious boon of civil liberty. Perhaps not the least interesting room in this building is the one where the Alabama Court of Arbitration held its conferences. It is handsomely furnished, and remains just as it was at the time of that most historic gathering. It brought very vividly to mind the pictures which I remember to have seen of the court in session. On a fair, white marble tablet is a statement in reference to the result of the arbitration, which is certainly one of the most interesting events in modern times, proving to the world that Christian nations could settle their difficulties without recourse to arms. Back of the moderator's chair is an oil painting of Liberty, and at the other end of the room, pictures of the Commissioners. Coming out of the interesting shadows of the old Hotel dc Ville, you come into scenes not less historic These European cities are crowded with memories and incidents. Of course the wiser one is, the. richer are his discoveries. But even very casual observer can not fail to find me �THK FRIEND, MAY. abundant food for thought. Just in this smooth stone-paved square which faces us, over which the Hotel dc Ville and gray old Arsenal seem to keep solemn watch and ward, is the place where the " Emile and Contract Sofcial" of Kousseau were publicly burned, a little more than a century ago. Here too, we are told, that Servetus, condemned by Calvin, was burned alive, that one great stain on the reformer's illustrious record. In that naitow street with its high and crowded houses, Rousseau was born, just beyond, at No. 11, Rue dcs Chanonies, Calvin lived, and here too, it is said, he died. Here he must have brooded over those grand thoughts which are at the very foundation of his mighty theology. It is not difficult to picture him coming and going through this shadowy street, this earnest Reformer, with his pale, intense, sharply chiseled face, which seems more like the incarnation of some tremendous thought or idea, than that of a human being; here must have gathered the men to whom he intrusted the execution of his commissions; from this centre radiated that influence which held for many years the city of Geneva under an imperial sway, and which the religious world will recognize through all time. At one of the museums of the city is a picture by Horming, representing the last adieu of Farel to Calvin. It is finely painted and intensely interesting. They had been " yoke-fellows," had seen together the coming of the Gospel with power in an age of darkness, and now were for a time to be parted. Farel, with his grand head, unbent by storms of persecution, stands by the side of his dying friend. Calvin's face, though wasted and of a ghastly paleness, is full of strange power, and in these last moments his eyes seem to look past the present into the future witha«vision unhindered by the mists of earth. About these two central figures are grouped many Iriends and brothers. As you stand in the quiet Kue dc Chanonies, with all these faces fresh in mind, you seem almost to feel their actual presence. May it not be that these men who gave the ripeness of their thought and the depth of their religious experiences to the up-building of tnis city still overshadow it with their spiritual presence? before the blazing fire, listening to the thrilling tales of the grand old days of Switzerland. All this is very nice, but Swiss carvings have their practical side. The choicest, issue from the work-shops of the cities, coming from the midst of exceedingly prosaic surroundings. But this does not, in the least, detract from their real beauty, only makes it greater by contrast in my estimation. There is a warmth and tone in wood which gives to it a life which marble never possesses, and this added to the wonderful shapes into which it can be fashioned, renders it worthy of a high place in the beautiful realm of art. You are shown such tantalizingly inviting things that you want to spend yuur little all at the very first shop you enter. There are all mjnner of dainty frames and baskets and vases, wreathed in most delicate flowers, so light and fragile that they seem worthy of a place with the spring blossoms which are now beginning to star the fields and meadows. Then near by are ornamental pieces, pictures in wood, groupings of tropical ferns and palm branches, clusters of lilies with drooping leaves, birds on their nests, reedy ferns, where quaint solemn water-fowls make their homes; rocks, where the light and graceful Chamois poises himself; game of all kinds, exquisitely finished. Overcountless clocks the artists throw a perfect wealth of carvings. There are such fine groups of peasants with their innocent, honest faces. Little children that seem jubilant to see the light after their long imprisonment. But it is useless to try to tell you about them. Come and see them. If I could but find some way of sending them to you! AMONG THE WOOD CARVINGS. of our American Evangelist was to go to the heart of the Chinese Empire. So wonderfully in these later days do the far ends of the earth meet. The melodies were most beautifully arranged, and seemed to catch a new sweetness as they chimed out from the knowing and magical little points so skillfully placed. In seeing step by step the manner in which music boxes are made, I must confess that I learned to admire them as I had never done before. What had always seemed a mystery has been proved to tie exceedingly simple, but still worthy of admiration. These skillful bits of mechanism have a way of making melody which may be taken as a kind of lesson for those who find their lot full of sharp and difficult experiences. You will notice, that as the cylinder moves slowly around, it is only the fine needle-like points, scattered here and there, meeting others equally so, which give the music. All the smooth, clear spaces are mute. Haven't we all seen those persons who have made out of lives of trial, difficulty — The Greeks were not very far out of the waf, I think, in peopling their woods and groves with fair and beautiful forms or in believing that hidden away in the heart of the gnarled and unshapely tree-trunks dwelt the souls of dryads and nymphs. For lately the usually mute and solemn tree, from trunk to branch and tiniest twig, have been full of voices, and 1 have learned secrets of beauty which I had not dreamed of before. I could take you in a few moments to a store on the grand quai, facing the lake, full of such rare and graceful forms carved in wood, that seeing them you wapld ever after cherish and reverence this commonest of materials for the possibilities of beauty which lie enshrined in it. One almost always associates Swiss carvings with picturesque chalets far up in lovely Alpine valleys and with peasants in* striking costumes, and it is very pleasant to fancy that the little souvenirs you take home with you are the fruits of long winter evfiiings spent by the busy workers 35 1877. MUSIC BOXES AND SANKEY's HYMNS. The music boxes of Switzerland arc renowned the world over, and in Geneva there are many manufactories. 1 saw and heard a number lately which are devoted to an interesting and unique purpose. Some are arranged to play Mr. Sankey.s sweet and popular sacred tunes. Quite to my surprise I learned that they were to be forwarded to China, an order having been recently received from a London house for a large number of boxes, it was certainly pleasant to feel that from the old city of Calvin, the music and sorrow, sweet and touching poems? There is certainly something wonderful in the_ swift circuit of the world which Mr. Sankey's hymns have'made. They are being sung all over Europe. You hearthein in Rome, almost within sight of the Vatican, and here in Geneva they are sung at every religious meeting. It would seem as if, in sacred song, we find the truest catholicity of sentiment. One of the delightful experiences which I have enjoyed in the meeting with different persons representing different sscts and dcnominatiens has been to find trfht down, deep under long established form and ritual and sectarian usage, was a growing longing for a more perfect unity, a desire to, meet in love and sympathy about the cross and sepulchre of a common Savior. And this is one of the glad, bright signs in the world to-day, the east is bright with the coming light, and in God's own good time there shall be but one church, not of human rearing, but composed of all those who love our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It seems not very far off while I can hear as in Geneva Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists, members of the Russian Church, and some from the Old Catholic party sing in perfect harmony, of Ages cleft lor me. " Rock Let me bide myself in Tbee." JUNCTION OF THE RHONE AND THE ARVE. The other day I walked down to the junction of the Rhone and the Arve. The Arv comes rushing and foaming from the glaciers and the Rhone issues clear as crystal frot lake Lcinarft The singular fact is that the do not at first mingle, but for a long wa down the new river, which has been formet by their junction, you will see them flowin side by side, contrasting most beautifully There are no words which can paint th crystaline quality of the waters ofthe Rhon where the tiniest pebble is seen as it lies f down under the clear blue river. It is dif cult to tell where the lake ends and the li of the river begins, for nt first it seems t stand almost motionless ignorant of th power which it has gained. Then gatherin courage, each step growing bolder, it dashe away in a perfect abandon of joy, crownin its bright surface with grand wreaths o foam and spray. But it soon finds that it not forever to go on unhindered in this ne glad life, for just a little way farther it met by the dark, turbid, glacier-born Arve and they start on in a joint march to the sea But it is a very uncongenial league, for a you stand at the point of junction lookin iar down the new river you see it divided into two strongly narked divisions; on one side the Rhone, on the oiher the Arve, their waters persistently refusing to mingle. It is it uiost interesting sight and any one of a moralizing frame of mind, would find here a fine figure to illustrate his conception of the way in which the great forces of good and evil, of light and darkness, of purity and impurity walk side by side together in this world of ours, but distinct and clearly defined as the two silent rivers that so strongly flow on in the same channel. Frank W. Damon. Geneva, March sth, 1877. �36 lilt, THE FRIEND. MAI I, l*7T. "The Church of England and the Church Sof cotland." This is the title of a small pamphlet just received by ihe last Australian mail steamer from Sydney. It contains an address of the Rev. Robert Steel, D.D., of St. Stephen's Cllurch, Sydney, at the meeting of the Presbyterian Synod, March SM, 1877. After reviewing the histnriral relationship of the <wn churches, prior, during and since the Keformation in the sixteenth century, Dr. Steel makes tho following graceful allusion to Bishops Selwyn ami Pntteson Coining to these Southern sens, I cannot pass over some instunce.s of fratemitv us particularly pleasing as they were kind. When the apostolic Bishop Selwyn was sailing amidst so many heathen iales in his little yacht, he conveyed a Presbyterian minister and his wife to the New Hebrides, the scene of their mission labors, and took stores to them from year to year. On ono occasion when this missionary's wutch required repair, he left it at the harbor of the island for Bishop Selwyn to take tn Auckland, but great was his surprise when he found that the bishop had left his own instead till ho returned the succeeding year. Nor was this all. Referring at Duncdin lo what he had seen at this island of the New Hebrides, he said that if any Presbyterians were disposed to help the work he would be glad lo take their contributions. Next morning £30 were handed to him as he was going on board. He ruado similar appeals al Wellington and nt Auckland, and on Ins arrival at the New Hebrides handed XlO5 to the Presbyterian missionary That surely reconciled the Bishop ami tlie Covenanter. Bishop Pntteson acted in a similar spirit, often visited our missionary at Eromangn, where he had to climb a precipitous, rocky path to reach him, and when, after the melancholy tragedy by which Mr. and Mrs. Gordon perished as martyrs, Bishop Pattcson was the first to arrive, ho went ashore mid read the burial service of his incomparable Liturgy over their graves. The Bishop was ever careful to abstain from setting up missions on any islands occupied by Presbyterian missionaries. I am glad also to notice in u recent speech of Bishop Selwyn the second, a worthy son of a noble sire, he made a graceful reference to " the excellent Presbyterian missionaries" in the New He- : brides, " on whose labors," ho added, " we «re careful not to trench "—a worthy example for us all to follow. Such instances of fraternal, thoughtful and friendly kindness are full of good cheer and Christian sympathy. It is because of the low standard of a genuine Christ-like spirit that they are so rare and noteworthy. They tire as refreshing as the gales referred to by -Milton, blowing— " Sati.-au uiloia I nun lli« (If Aralne Ihe hirst." spicy sliuru \noihcr of those galee, dispensing a NIIKMt. I»7 7 MAY. Christian fragrance from its " odoriferinus wings," comes to us from America. A copy of n sermon hy Bishop Huntington (our fellow collegian) of central New York, upon the " Two ways of treating the Indian Problem," contains a most appreciative reference to the early Puritan missionaries of New England "The Puritans of Leyden looking across tlfc ocean put on record their hope that in the western wilderness they might both keep their name nnd nation and lie n means to enlarge the Church of Christ, if the Lord had a people among the nations whither he would bring them." From another quarter there comes a counter blast. Report suys that the High Church Ritualists nro sadly interfering with the French Protestant missionaries among the Hassoutos of South Africa. • "Whosoever Will." . sbbXhmon to Ci.kiiks.—We were glad to see the republication of Dr. Talmadge'a sermon in a supplement to the Advertiser. It contains many most valuable hints lo both clerks and their employers. A good merchant is thoughtful for his clerks, and his duty is not fully discharged unless he looks after their habits and practices out of his store as well as while under his eye. The rending of this sermon reminds us of an incident which came under our personal knowledge more than thirty years ago in Honolulu. A young man left a whaleship and obtained a situation as clerk and bookkeeper in a certain mercantile establishment in Honolulu. He had not been there long before he was asked to perform an act which his conscience did not approve. He came to us for advice. We did not hesitate lo advise him to resign rather than do what his conscience did not approve, all hough il might deprive him of a good situation. He left, but soon found employment in a more lucrative position under government, and when he died was one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The freedom and fulness of the gospel is variously set forth by the sacred writers and our Saviour himself. In reading a volume of sermons by the Key. Dr. Kohinson of Louisville, Kt., on Kedomption, we have met the following passage, wherein this Perils ok the Ska.—The ship Elizabeth point is most clearly and forcibly put. It is Goin/i/ sailed from San Francisco on Aug- from a sermon, the text—Acts, lfi:ill, " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved." •• Thus you are told to Flee from the vtritth to come,' to the strongholds,' as one having the energy to hasten swiftly, vigorously. But if you pleatl 'I buve no energy of faith to flee,' then tho gospel saith come to Jesus,' even though you must creep us the poor lame man, or grope your way as the poor blind man, and that shall be taken as tu.itls. If still you plead 'I am utterly impotent, unable to move, so as to come in any way,' then, saith tho gospel, ' stretch forth tliiin- hand and 'receive' the Lord Jesus for he is nigh thee; and that shall answer as failh. Nay, if you still plead, I cannot stretch out a hand, for the very arm hangs powerless as that of the poor man in the gospel,' then saith the gospel 1Lotik to Jesus,' for ' he that Inoketh upon him lifted up shall live.' Nay more yet,— If still you plead. ' I cannot look, for alas the hazy film of spiritual death is over my eyes, nnd all is darkness,' then suith the gospel, ' Poor sinner, if nothing else, lie still just as you are, and 'submit tn the righteousness of God,' allowing Jesus to throw the robe of his righteousness over thee, and that shall answer, for ' wiiosokvkh will' may take him for a Saviour.' " We have found much to admire in (his volume of sermons by our old college classmate. There is a tone and character, logic and force, richness and suggestiveness to remind the reader of the divines of the seventeenth century. It is refreshing to know in these days of popular, sensational, pulpit oratory, that there arc some preachers who follow in the old paths.

Several attempts were made to obtain stores from the wreck, but nil failed. In exploring the islund the men found an cticnnkptnenl, which had probably been occupied hy some shipwrecked crew. A number of empty cans, tins, bottles ami a flour burrel were near it The barrel was rehooped and repaired to hold water. A tin of soup and bouilli was also found, and some good cocoanuts were obtained from the trees. Sea fowl were plentiful, nnd many were killed. Several heavy showers enabled them to replenish their water. Two human skulls were found in a cave, but not the bodies or bones belonging to them. On the 12th of October, the captain, his daughter and six men left in the boat for Pitcairn's Island, leaving five men behind. On the 18th ihe boat was seen by the ship City of Vienna, bound from San Francisco for Liverpool, and her crew were taken on board. The ship proceeded to Elizabeth Island and rescued the men left there. Considering the circumstances attending the wreck, it is wonderful all bands were saved.

This is a serious fact for the High Anglicans to ponder —almost as much ho, indeed, as the scandal with respect to the Presbytcriun baptism of the present Archbishop of Canterbury, about which there was so keen a controversy in the Ritualistic, jpurnal* a few months ago.—Ekffinh paper.

It is our most painful duty to chronicle the death of His Royal Highness Prince William Pitt Leleiohoko, whose decease occurred on Tuesday morning, April 10th. Tbe remains of this noble Prince were deposited in the Hoyal Mausoleum 09 the 25th, beside those of his father and mother and those of the Kamehamehas. We clip the following from the /'. C. Advertiser of April 21st and 28th : His Royal Highness was tho son of the high Chiefs C. Kapankca and A. Keoholcalole (the parents of the present Royal Family) and wits born od tho 10th of January, 1805, on the day of the funeral of King Kniiiuhitiuelni 111, Iroui which circumstance he derived one ol his nitiues —Kalahoolewa. lo inlancy ho wns adopted, afler tho custom of the Chiefs, by Her Highness Kutli Reclikolitui, sister til King Kamehameha V., who has ever regarded bim its licr own child, and whose grief for his loss is poignant. He was educated at St. Milan's College on this island, where bo proved himself an apt scholar. After leaving school ho for some time fulfilled with seal and ability the duties of a clerk in the department of Foreign A flairs, and on the accession of His Mnjosty was appointed nnd proclaimed Heir Appurcnt to the Throne. On the King's departure for the United States, in November, 1874, lie was appointed Prince Regent, the duties ol which responsible oilier ho discharged with distinguished ability until His Majesty's return on tho 1 ."it.li of Fehruary, 1875. Tho late Prince had reoeivod the decorations ol Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Orders of Kamebanieha aud Kalakaua; ho was a member of the Privy Council of State and ol tbe House of Nobles, Captain of the Leloiohoku Cavalry; and Foreman of Engine Company No 4 ol the Honolulu Fire Department. In the Order of Free Mnsons ho was a prominent and advanced member, and held olEces of importance. But it Was among those who had occasion to know him intimately that the good qualities of the late Prince were understood and valued, for he was of a quiot, retiring and unassuming disposition that courted not observation. Wilh fine natural talents, he was an excellent English scholar, of studious habits, well read in current literature as well as in tbe science of government, methodical and careful in business matters, and in social life a polished gentleman. Well may it be said that in bis early death tbe Hawaiian nation has suffered a grievous low. But in tho language of Byrou, the gods love die young" was said of yore, "AndWhom many deaths do they escape by this: The death or friends,aod lhat which slays even more, Thedeath ol friendship, love, youth, all thai la, Kxoepi mere breathi and since Ihe silent shore A waits at Last even thoee who longest miss The old archer'B Bfaafte, perbepe tbe early grave Wbleti men weep over may be meant to save." The remains of the late Prince lay in state at the Palace during Tuesday forenoon and the solemn pageantry of death was viewed by a large concourse of residents of all ages and classes'.

Tor the trade winds blow moderately, and an occasional pausing cloud tempered tbe rays of the tropic sun. Tho streets had boon sprinkled during the morning, so that there was no discomtort Irom the dust which would otherwise have been caused by the movement of the procession. Contrary to tho general expectation as well as to the ordinary rule on such occasions, the arrangements were so trcrlectod by those who had the details in charge that lire procession began to move as per programme, "punctually at 11 o'clock, a. at." His Excellency Govornor Moehonua was Marshal ol the day, with Majors George W. Maofarlane and James 11. Boyd a* assistants. Tbe grace, dignity and selfpossession of the Governor were noted, for be sat his horse and wore his uniform liko one " to tbe manner born," in this respect forcibly bringing to mind tbe naturally noble bearing on similar occasions of once prominent Hawaiian Chiefs Governors of the different Islands.

Alter the clergy had retired, the Free Masons, lod hy the VV. M. of Hawaiian Lodge No. 21, performed the impressive funeral service of the Order around the coffin of their departed brother; and last of all, was said the touching " Roquioscat in Pace," and Farewell " of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, in which the deceased Prince was an office bearer. Three vollies by the military concluded tbe ceremonies. The coffin of the late Prince lies near the right band inner door or the mausoleum, botwecn those of bis parents the High Chiefs 0.

M. C. A. Annual Report of the Y.M.C.A. During the past year there have lieen held twelve meetings—ten regular, one special, iiml one annual. Owing to inclemency of the weather, no meeting was held in November, 1876, and the special one was called June 2d, to discuss the subject of procuring a more desirable and attractive place for the meetings of the Association. The result of the discussion was that the Lyceum was procured, the first meeting having been held there .Tune 16th, 1876. The following is the attendance of members during the past year: May 19, 1876, 5; June 2, 18; June 16,11; July 2?, 11; Aug. 25, 10; Sept. 15. 10; Oct. 17, 4; Dec. 15, 9; Jan. 25, 1877, 7; Feb. 15, 13; March 16, 9; April 20, 12,—making a total attendance of one hundred and nineteen for the twelve meetings, or an average of nine and one-twelfth per meeting. The highest number of attendance of any one person is nine. There are 3 who have attended 9 times; 1 who has attended 7 times; 5 who have attended 6 times; 3 who have attended 5 times; 2 who have attended 4 times; 7 who have attended 3 times; 4 who have attended 2 times; 3 who have attended 1 time; and 13 who have never nttended.—Among the 13 non-attendanta, there are 3 who have not lived in Honolulu during the past year, leaving 10, or about one-quarter of the membership list who might have attended more or less, as far as presence in Honolulu is concerned. So that 3 out of 4 of the members in Honolulu have attended from 1 to 9 meetings during the year. Although this record might be improved, we can take encouragement from the fact that for the past two years adjournment, on account of no quorum, has taken place several times; and when there were meetings, often times it was with just ihe requisite number, while as our average attendance has been nine and eleven-twelfths, we have averaged about two quorums to the meeting,—the number of our quorum, as per Constitution, being 5. As to the work of the Association, we can say that our Colporteur, Mr. Sit Moon, has worked earnestly and faithfully on these islands in behalf of the Chinese, has done much good, and is very popular among the Chinese wherever he goes. The Chinese Sunday School is also doing well, having increased considerably during the past year under the able management of its Superintendent, Mr. J. B. Atherton, who also speaks well of the labors of Mr. Sit Moon as a teacher. There is one drawback, however, of long standing, and that is, the want of more and regular teachers, and any one who has an interest in the Chinese can show it by presenting themselves in the Vestry Room of Fort Street Church every Sunday afternoon, between the hours of half-past three and half-past four, where the Superintendent will give them something to do in the way of teaching. The Annual Meeting, for 1876 and 1877, was held at the Lyceum April 20th, when the election of officers took place for the coming year, resulting as follows : l're.ir!.-nt Vim Prrsiuent t-writary Ti.;i-ui'i I' C Jones, 8 II OstLM, G |' Cabti.k.

Your Treasurer, in presenting this his Annual Report, begs to state that he has followed out the usual custom of keeping two accounts, one with the Chinese Mission Committee, showing the receipts and disbursements for support of the Chinese Colporteur, the other with the Y.

Cooke, Treasurerof the V. M. C. A. Our Colporteur.—Mr.infGormksi that he has received a letter from Mr. Sit Moon, dated at Hilo. He landed three weeks ago at Kohala, where he was well received by Key. Mr. Bond and his Chinese friends. He addressed an audience of about one hundred, and labored among them during the week. Proceeding to Waimea he met thirty of his countrymen, and then proceeded towards Hilo over the mountains. In Hamakua he was most kindly entertained by the native minister. After visiting Ins countrymen on the plantations in the Hilo district, he safely reached Hilo, where he will remain for a few days before returning us to Honolulu. A correspondent asks, "Who wrole the poetry on the Y. M. C. A.'s page in tinFebruary number, on ' The Lesson of the Hills.' 1 was very much pleased with it, and enjoyed it all the more as I read it with the Alps in view, lull of their everlasting lessons, wonderful power and inspiration.'' We answer,—the author is the King's pre ent Minister of Foreign Affairs. - CowAiMchTmnsk.Metu,oh reasurer.

As the snow gathers together, so are our habits formed. No single flake that is added to the pile produces a sensible change. No single action creates, however it may exhibit, a man*s character; but as the tempest hurls the avalanche down the mountain, and overwhelms the inhabitant and his habitation, so passion, acting upon the elements, of mischief which pernicious habits have brought together by imperceptible accumulation, may overthrow the edifice of truth and virtue. He that does as well in private between God and his own soul, as in public, hatli given himself a testimony that.his purposes are full of honesty, nobleness and integrity. Jeremy Taylor. — The infant daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh was recently christened at the San Antonio Palace, and the names given to her are Victoria Melita.
