It has been reprinted in Honolulu, at the Gazette Office, at the expense of the American Bible Society. The revision and printing has been carried forward by Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham—in fact, to them belongs the honor of having originally reduced the dialect of those Islands to a written form, and of having thus far carried forward all the publications and translations which have been made in that dialect. Although the climate will not allow Mr. Bingham to reside on those low coral islands yet, perhaps his services are now equally useful to a group of islands numbering a population of 30 or 40,000.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 18 THE RECENT ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE EMPEROR. Could you have been in Berlin a week ago lust Saturday evening, you would have found the city in a strange state of excitement. During the afternoon, about halfpast three, as the Emperor was driving down the Linden, a young fellow, who had partially shielded himself behind a droschki, as the Emperor's carriage approached, shot once or twice from a revolver, and endeavored to make his escape across the avenue. The Emperor-was driving, according to his wont, in an open carriage, and at his side sat his daughter, the Grand-Duchess of Baden. The would-be assassin has evidently imbibed too deeply the dangerous and revolutionary principles of the Social-Democratic party, which have already gained much ground in Germany, and whose influence can tend only to anarchy and the overthrow of all law and order. Upon the young man's person were found pamphlets in reference to the Social-Democratic movement. His story is that he was desirous of shooting himself, in order to show the extremity to which the poor are reduced by the tyranny of the rich. I scarcely imagine, however, that this story obtains much credence. After the firing of the shots the Emperor's carriage soon stopped, and the young man (a workman from Leipzig, of 20 years or so,) who was endeavouring to make his escape, was seized. The police with difficulty kept the people from having recourse to Lynch law, so tremendous was the excitement. Some three or four shots (or, according to another account, two or three,! had been fired, but most fortunately and miraculously without producing the slightest injury* Word of the event flew immediately all over the city, so that in an incredibly short time the space before the Palace was crowded with people to testify their enthusiastic joy at the preservation of the life of the Emperor. 1 happened to be sit the Zoological Garden, where an open-air con•A second attempt has been made to assassinate the Emperor, whiob proved well nigh snoeeesfnl; bat latest telegrapbio report* indicate that he waa gradually recovering from his wounds. �54 TBE FRIEND, being given. The National Anthem was played, and the incident of the afternoon now being known, it was received with a loud burst of applause. In the evening, in some of the places of amusement, the same enthusiastic and jubilant excitement was manifested; and for days since has the Emperor been the recipient of many and sincere evidences of the joy which Germany and the world at large feel at his preservation. The papers have been full of it. cert was Telegrams of congratulation have poured in from all parts of Europe. Thanksgiving services have been held in various churches. A very pretty incident took place the other day. A company of school-girls appeared, as 1 understand, unheralded at the Palace. Waiving the usual etiquette, the Emperor. received them most kindly, and as kindly accepted the gift of flowers and the laurel wreath which they had brought him. One of the most splendid spectacles I ever witnessed was the grand torchlight procession given last Friday evening by the students of the University in honor of the Emperor. There were between two and three thousand persons in the procession. The long line of young men, on foot and in carriages, inarched down the Linden" from the " Pariser Platz to the Palace. The Emperor on the balcony, and was received appeared most enthusiastically. The scene was a most inspiring one as I saw it. The night was luminous with the glare of hundreds and hundreds of torches. The Linden was a sea of flame, and from the midst of this gleaming show rose, quiet and still and cnlm, the Palace and the gieat University. The effect of a German hymn sung to the stately music which is familiar to us by the name of the Anstrian Hymn," was inde" Several bands of music led scribably grand. this immense chorus of rich young voices, which rose into the night air in one magnicent pnan of joy. After further demonstrations of loyalty and love, the long line passed on to another part of the city. There forming in a large circle, they threw theirtorches upwards into the air, which, after describing a fiery curve, fell in the center of the ring. it was in all respects a most splendid and successful tribute of respect and devotion from young Germany to its venerable and honored head and Emperor. Berlin is looking beautifully now, and the parks in and near the city are like fairyland. The Spring has been a most beautiful one, a perfect Carnival of sunshine and flowers and birds. Mr. Bayard Taylor, the new American Minister, has arrived, and will prove, I am sure, a most valuable addition to the diplomatic, literary and social life of the capital. Within a few days a Legation from Morocco has arrived, bringing, as I understand, presents of value for the Emperor. Their costumes will probably excite as much interest in the streets as have those of the Chinese for some time past. Two Princesses of the Royal house, daughters of the nephew of the Emperor, have been recently betrothed, the elder to Prince Henry of the Netherlands, the younger to Prince Arthur of England, the Duke of Connaught.

EISRNACH AND ITS MEMORIES. 1 feel eager to reach a little village toward which we are hastening as the dusk of the early winter evening is gathering in the dark pine forests of Thuringia, more eager than 1 have been oftentimes in entering some of the world's greatest cities and capitals. For there is a stronger charm which draws us to this quiet village than any which the old legendary spirits which dwelt in sthe heart of the German forests were fabled'to exert on unwary travelers, that of the name of the great reformer, Martin Luther. It is a little strange that one who swept away saints and shrines should have himself unconsciously been creating new shrines where Protestant pilgrims should love to come and trace the steps and lifework of one who stands in the foremost rank of those holy men of all ages, who have left the memory of their lives and deeds as a precious legacy to the true Catholic. Church. The Thuringian forest is among the most beautiful regions of Germany—a fitting home for many of the stirring events which have been enacted in the towns and villages which it embraces within its limits. Nearly four hundred years have passed since Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, in Saxony, the soon of poor, hard working mining people, who little dreamed of the kingly place their son was to hold in the annals of all time ; he whose light was to flame as the beacon over long centuries and epochs of the world." Vet never more grandly and heroically has the miner's son, the triumphant Reformer, appeared than he does to-day at the close of these four centuries. I have felt it a peculiar privilege to be able to visit see les associated with his daily life, which seem in some woudrous manner to be instinct with his great presence. But the evening lamps have been lighted in the quiet homes of Eisenach long since, and the night has closed in on the forests, while I have been detaining you. Our hotel is near the station, just outside the old gates of the town. To-night it is too late to see the places which we have come especially to visit, and we take instead a walk through the village. We have the streets quite to ourselves—the streets up and down which Luther often passed so long ago. " EXCURSION TO WARTBURG CASTLE. With the clear, grey-tinted light of the next morning, we were ready for our excursion to the Wartbukg, a castle which rises as sentinel above the town. We find the town no longer the silent place of last night. The market-place by the old church of busy buyers and sellers, the women ing an odd kind of cloak or mantle. beyond the church is situated the old is full wear- Just house where once lived Frau Ursula Cotta, whose home became such a pleasant haven to the boy Luther. From his father's lowly home the peasant boy had come to study at the school in Eisenach. With other boys he was accushMned to sing carols from house to house, thus eking out a scanty living. One day, as he stood before the house of good Frau Cotta, her motherly heart warmed towards the wan, desolate little figure, and she brought him in, and shortly after he came to be one of the family. It is the simplest of simple incidents, but beautiful as an episode in the life of one who was to act as the foremost man of his age. You are shown the room where young Martin, who was choir boy in the church which we passed on our way hither, lived and studied. They show you—but this must be taken with some reservation—the cloak he used to wear, far back, some three or four hundred years ago. May there always be kind, loving Frau Cottas in the world to bring sunshine in'e lonely lives ! You connot help feeling that thjs lady must have been a helpftM, cheery member of the little Eisenach circle in which she lived. It is easy to picture her as mistress of this spacious house, about which she probably moved as a thrifty, careful housewife. There is nothing to see within but the Luther room, to which I have before referred. Not very far away froYn this interesting landmark of the olden time is the house where John Sebastian Bach was born in 1695,—one of the greatest of musical composers. Though there is nothing now shown but this house in connection with the great musician, it is pleasant to have been permitted to see where his earliest days were passed. One always feels a loving sympathy for the poor little fellow who was forbidden certain pieces of music for which he longed with all his heart, and one night " stole the book containing them, and copied them in his own room by moonlight." He who has ever enjoyed the rare pleasure of listening to the sublime music of Bach's Passion Music," one' of the most remarkable creations in the whole range of musical composition, must feel that here, in this old Eisenach house, was born one of the sovereigns in the realm of sacred music. Lately, in Berlin, I have heard for the first time this remarkable composition. It must have been written by a man beneath whose art lay the principle of a devout and reverent faith. Retracing our steps, we find the road which leads to the summit of the Wartburg, the goal of our day's excursion. We have seen much, and found food for thought for many days in the little town below, but the Castle is, after all, the real goal of our wanderings. Our road winds here and there, always upward. We pause for just a moment to glance at the church on the hill-side and the cross-marked graves which lie in its shadow. The snow lies in scattered patches on the withered grass. The sweet, clear morning air is delicious, the best of tonics. As our path advances the outlook increases in extent. We see wide reaches of undulating country covered with forests—the fragrant evergreen forests of Thuringia. Now, a few moments more of good climbing and we are on the summit, and safe in the guardian presence of the old medieval Schloss. Very few of the old-castles of Germany offer more of in- " �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1878. from being blamed, he wrought a miracle.

The splendor of imperial and ecclesiastical power arrayed itself against this apostle oftruth, and armed with no weapon but that of an unwavering faith in his Godgiven purpose, he swept all before him. But his triumph rendered his opponents only the more inimical. He was placed under the ban of the Empire, and for the moment the great wheels of progress seem to pause. Even while a breathless, expectant world wus awaiting with straining gaze the next turn of affairs, he who was the acknowledged leader of the movement suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. But this seeming pause was in reality but another step towards the final victory. At a time when it seemed as if the brave and fearless Reformer was deserted by the world and the church, there were not lacking after all those who ministered to his needs. Secretly and swiftly was he conveyed to this Thuringian fortress belonging to the Elector of Saxony, and this little upper chamber which we were privileged to visit became his secure hiding place, his Pat" to mos" as he called it, until it was safe come forth once more. Here he lived for months under the name of " Squire George," and busied himself with the translation of the Bible from the original into German. The room in which he lived is but little altered. Here still stands the table where he wrote, his bed and many interesting reminders of his daily life. Still is shown the stain on the wall where he is said to have thrown his inkstand at the Tempter. It was here that weary and worn with the excitement of past years, fresh from the tremendous efforts at the Diet of Worms, that he underwent at times such fierce mysterious spiritual contests as few human beings have known. Hallowed indeed seems every nich of the little apartment where in loneliness and oftentimes, over shadowing darkness and gloom this great soul fought and struggled (inwards toward the light. On the wall hangs his portrait, a strong and powerful face. You feel almost as if you were in his actual presence ! From this high watch tower how the Reformer must have swept the horizon of that world which he had for the time being left, and seen perhaps dimly but with unwavering faith the light of that sun which was to disperse its shadows. In those long months he tarried here, what lessons there must have been in the changing seasons in this fair Thuringian land, in its crimson dawns, and purple-shadowed twilights, in all its varied beauty for him whose great and loving heart and poetic soul seem at all times so wonderfully in communion with Nature! But, as we all know, this fortress-home did not always claim him. From his obscurity he went forth once more into the heat of the battle, appearing again in the midst of his flock at Wittenberg, to cheer and comfort and strengthen and to advance the work for which he was destined. Nor must we, pilgrims of this later time, tarry longer here, but go forward on our way to other shrines and scenes which are waiting for us, but which can never cause us to forget what we have already seen.

We kave received an interesting letter from the Rev. R. Lechler, German missionary at Hong Kong. Nearly one hundred Chrfctian Chinese, men, women and children, came per the Auguste, which arrived here about the first of January. These Christian Chinese had been under the influence and instruction of the German missionaries, who continue to feel and express a deep interest in their converts, who have come to reside and labor on the Hawaiian Islands : Hongkong, 22d April, IS7B. Jiev. S. C. Damon—Your favor of the 6th February was duly received with a number. of letters from my friends there. We were not a little comforted to hear that it had pleased God, to bring the Auguste and all her passengers safely to Honolulu. 1 desire to thank you most cordially for your kind letter, and for all the kindness you nnd others have shown to our people. We rejoiced to hear that the wedding between Joseph Ten-syan and Lai Tet-Sin has come off so nicely. I hope she will be a good mother to the two children of Joseph.* Or are they continuing in the school with that kind lady in whose charge he gave them when he left for China. 1 am also obliged for the copy of the Friend you kindly sent me. I have sent it and previous numbers on to Europe, as people at home are greatly interested in the fate of the Chi- nese Christians, who emigrate to the Sandwich Islands. I shall always be greatly obliged for any printed communication referring to what is being done for the Chinese in your quarters. There has been some agitation here against emigration to Honolulu, on the plea that letters had been received from there by Chinese complaining of hard labor, and of being forced to make a contract. I gave six of my letters, in which no complaint had been mentioned, to the China Mail, and the editor printed them to show that the Christians did not complain of anything. Two slesmers had been stopped on account of this agitation, and great loss been inflicted on the parties concerned. The otheT letters containing the above mentioned complaints were received subsequently. I have written a Chinese letter to my people in Roman characters, and besides 1 got my teachers to write, one a letter on money matters, and the other who is Catechist a letter on doctrine and general subjects concerning them. I also send them a copy of a poem which describes the famine now devastating the North of China so fearfully. It is said that 70 per cent, are perishing from want of food.. The people are now eating earth, to satisfy the cravings of the stomach, but thereby only prolong their sufferings, as death is inevitable. Whole villages are deserted. The dead are unburied, and sickness must follow in the wake of this dreadful famine. The Lord is visiting China with his judgment,—may many be turned from sin and darkness, to take refuge in the living God. In Cantqn a whirlwind has caused great de- struction.

M �Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: To visit thefatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world. Edited by a Committee of the Y. M. C. A. The following poem, by the late W. C. Bryant, was written when he was 19 years of age, and first published in the 'North American Review m 1817: Thanatopsis, or Contemplation of Death. To bim who, in tbe love of Nature, holds Communion with her visible forma, she tpeaka A various language. For his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beaut; ; and the glides Into his darker musings with a mild And gentle sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness, ere be is aware. When thoughts Of tbe lost bitter hour come like a blight Over thy spirit, and sad images Of tbe stern agony, and shroud, and pall, And breathless darkness, and tbe narrow house, Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart, Go forth unto the open sky, and list To nature's teachings, while from all around Earth and her waters, and the depths of air— Comes a still voice—Yet a few days and thee The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his course. Nor yet in tbe oold ground, Wheat thy pale form was laid, with many tears, Nor in Ibe embrace of ocean, shall exist Thy image. Earth, tbat nourished Ihee, shall claim, Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again ; And, lost eaob human trace, surrendering np Thine individual being, sbalt thou go To mix forever .with the elements. To be a brother to the insensible rock And to the sluggish clod, which the rnde swain Turns with his share, and trends upon. Tbe oak Shall send his roots abroad, and pieroe thy mould. Yet Dot to thy eternal resting-place Shalt thou retire alone ; nor couldst thou wish Couoh more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings, Tbe powerful of the earth—tbe wise, tbe good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre. The bills, Rook-ribbed and ancient as the aan ; the Tales, Stretching in pensive quietness between ; The venerable woods ; rivers that move In majesty ; and the complaining brooks, Tbat make tbe meadow green; and, poured round all, Old ocean's gray and melancholy waste, Are but the solemn decorations all Of tbe great tomb of man. Tbe golden sun, The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, Are shining on tbe sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread The globe are but a handful to the tribes That slumber in its bosom. Take tbe wings Of morning, and the Barcan desert pieroe ; Or lose thyselfin the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon, and bears no sound Save his own dashiogs ; yet—tbe dead are there ; And millions in those solitudes,sinoe first Tbe Sight of years began, have laid tbem down In tbeir last sleep—the dead reign there alone. So sbalt thon reat; and what if thou shalt fall Unaotiosd by tho living, and no friend Will share thy destiny. Tbe gay will laugh When thou art gone, the solemn brood of oar* Plod on, and each ons, aa before, will chase — — His favorite phantom ; yet all these shall leave Tbeir mirth and their employments, and shall oome, And make their bed with thee. As the long train Of ages glide away, the sons of men, The yonth in life's green spring, and be who goes In the full strength of years, matron and maid, Tbe bowed with age, the infant, in the smiles And beauty of ila innocent age out off, Shall, one by one, be gathered to thy side, By tbose who, in tbeir turn, shall follow tbem. So live that, when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To the pale realms of shade, wnere each (hall take His chamber in the silent hulls of death, Thcu go not, like tbe quarry-slave at night. Scourged to his dungeon ; but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach tby grave, Like one who wraps tbe drupery of his couch About bim, and lies down to pleasant dreams. — "Home Evangelization." 60 YMoeunnC'gshH Ariotcaf onolulu. Yet how little is doing comparatively for their evangelization. In the last report of the Y. M. C. A., we find that the sum of $440.75, (as published in the Friend for June) was expended for the Chinese mission. Beyond this we are not aware as anything has been done pecuniarily during the past year. A little better show for the coming year is apparent, a colporteur having been employed on the Kohala Plantation, who is paid by that plantation. Another colporteur is called for at Hilo, but no one has as yet been secured. Has not the time come when vigorous — efforts should be made to secure the services of a Chinese-speaking foreign missionary, who will organise a well-digested system of evangelistic efforts among our Chinese population, now numbering several thousands ? Here is a noble and open field. The work has already been commenced. Mr. Sit Moon reports 120 Chinese Christian converts, including those who have arrived from China, coming from under the faithful labors of the Swiss or German missionaries. This is a subject, not of secondary importance, but claiming some well-digested plan of operation. No foreign immigrants on our Islands are becoming more identified with the future inhabitants of the Hawaiian Kingdom. They are quiet, industrious, saving, enterprising and law-abiding. They are accessible to the evangelist, if any one will go among them who can communicate with them in their own language or the Hawaiian or English. The evening school of Mr. Dunscombe during the past ten years indicates what might be done if the proper efforts are put forth. Here is a field ripe for the harvest. The Sabbath school, Sunday afternoon, at Fort Street, is in the right direction. Those instructing Chinese in their own families are doing good work. Sat Fan preaches to a respectable congregation of his countrymen at the Bethel, Sabbath evening. The Chinese Y. M. C. A. has made also a The Rev. Dr. Hyde preached at the Fort Street Church on Sabbath evening, June 23d. His subject was " Home Evangelization," a topic most happily chosen for the annual anniversary sermon on Home Missions, before the foreign community of Honolulu.
