Our young people enjoy a rare opportunity in attending the course of Historical Lectures which Mr. Atkinson, Principal of Fort street School, is now delivering every Monday evening at the lecture room of Fort street Church.

HONOLULU, MU 1, 1879. Blue-Jackets.—That earnest veteran for temperance, Key. Dr. Cuyler of Brooklyn, thus writes for the National 2'emperance Advocate for April: " A good work is going on in the Brooklyn Nnvy Yard among the " blue-jackets." Captain Gerhardi, of the United States frigate Colorado, is as zealous a teetotaler as the late Admiral Foote. A few evenings since he mustered a large crowd of sailors from the different Governmentvessels, and I have never addressed a more enthusiastic audience. A long procession of tars moved up to the table afterwards to sign the teetotal pledge. Mr. Thomas Williams, the preacher in the chapel for the Yard, is co-operating with Captain Gerhardi in this Temperance among movement." Ocean Telegraph.—Late Eastern papers contain full reports of the 25th anniversary meeting of laying the Atlantic Telegraph, held, at the residence of Cyrus W. Field in New York. From the report as published in the Boston Congreejationalist, we copy as follows: •' Mr. Field nnnounced that, on this very anniversary day, he had received from the King of the Sandwich Islands a concession, promised four years ago, for landing on those islands the cable that is to connect the United States with Japan. He also spoke with great enthusiasm of the recent improvement by which the company, a few days before, had been able for the first time to transmit despatches to and from England at the same instant through a single cable." E. Bailey, Esq.—A correspondent writes from Holden, Mass., that Mr. Bailey was there on the 23d of March, but would leave for Honolulu on the Ist of May, and hence may be expected in the next steamer. We understand that his poem, " Hawaii Nei," has been published by Mr. Andrews of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Mr. B.s book on the We would acknowledge papers for Micronesian Islands was going through the distribution from Mrs. W.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 28 A Few Weeks in Seandinavia–No. 7. AT THE GATES OF THE NOItTH LAND. Though for some weeks I have been writing of my rambles in Scandinavia, speaking with enthusiasm of our entrance into a Northern world from the first moment we caught the gleam of the waves of the Baltic, yet now that our faces are turned towards Norway and we catch glimpses on the distant blue horizon of mountain peaks, I feel as if all the way we have before passed was as it were but a preparation for the real glory of the North land upon which we are now entering, i would here say that it is impossible for me to speak of Norway in other terms than those which enthusiasm prompts —an unaffected, loving, glowing enthusiasm. I feel also actuated by something of a missionary spirit in putting this feeling into words. Norway is still known but to a comparatively small portion of the traveling world, 1 may even say of the reading world. Much has been written of late in reference to Norway, and the world is just beginning to realize what a glorious treasure of natural beauty and inspiration it possesses in this land of grand mountains, glittering glaciers, winding, solemn fjords, splendid forests and waterfalls. Still, very few visit Norway in comparison with the thousands who journey yearly to Switzerland. We will not comp- are, however, these lands in point of gran- deur and beauty, for I feel almost as if it were a sacrilege to do so. They need no praise, no comparison. But Switzerland is known as are but few countries. Its mountains have been measured and its takes sounded, and with an almost amusing audacity modern engineering has enabled the somewhat blase traveling world of our century to scale heights and to gaze upon scenes (surrounded by all the appliances of civilized comfort) which were formerly visited only by the hardy mountaineer or swiftfooted chamois. Switzerland is growing too civilized ! But Norway is still fresh, wild, untamed—a world where each new-comer m»y become u discoverer. If I could feel that any enthusiastic words of mine might induce some one to visit this glorious Northern land, I should feel indeed that I had led him to a source of unfailing inspiration. Standing as we do nt the gates of the �THB FRIEND, MAY, 38 1879. Northland, I can appreciate these words of and good public buildings, and a most comtheir National Song : fortable hotel.

The visit of the King of Norway re-built, flourishing town, with broad streets and Sweden with the Koyal Family, and a • • • " Congress of Jurists of Scandinavin, which is being held at this time, have filled the city with strangers and visitors. Nothing could have been more interesting to a traveler. I had reached Christiania just at the right time. As soon as it was possible, I had joined the great throng that was assembling at "Tivoli," the favorite summer resort and garden of the city, where a grand evening fete was to be given in honor of the King. The night was warm, mild and delicious— balmy and soft as in the tropics—and great, glorious stars lighted up the deep vault of the sky with a radiance such as it seemed to me I had scarcely ever before seen. The gardens were all aflame with torches and variously colored illuminations. The cafes were crowded with gentlemen and ladies, and thousands stood without. All Christiania had gathered here to see the King, who appears to be extremely popular. His arrival was announced by the music of the National .Anthem—the music being the same as that of the National Hymns of England, Germany nnd America. Seats were arranged for the Royal Party in the open air, in order that they might see to advantage the brilliant display of fire-works which were to constitute the amusement of the evening These were of the most gorgeous description, and blazed and glittered in a most royal way. The King Oscar 11. was present with his sons—a quiet, pleasant, dignified looking man. He is a grandson of Carl Johann, the French Marshal Bernadotte, and came to the throne in 1872, at the denth of his brother, Carl XV. He is a man of liberal education and culture, and has manifested a decided literary and poetic talent ss his brother before displayed very considerable artistic ability. The Norwegians are very fond of having him visit Christiania, though he lives the greater portion of ihe year in Sweden. The great throng were most loyal in their cheers. A brilliant arrangement of gas jets flamed through the night, forming the words, " Leve Kongen," Long Live the King. After the fire-works, the Royal Parly left the gardens and passed, with their invited guests, to the Palace on the hill, where a banquet closed the evening. Christiania is most beautifully situated at the head of the Christiania Fjord. The city was founded in 1624 by King Christian IV. on the site of a more ancient city, Osloe. This old city must have been extremely interesting. It contained the cathedral of St. Halyard, "then one of the richest in Europe." Here James VI. of Scotland and 1. cf England was married to Anne, of Denmark, sister of Christian IV. in 1589. Christian; IV. who founded the present city, named it Christiania, nfter himself. It has been the capital of Norway instead of Trondhjem, since Norway was united to Denmark. The present population is, if I am correctly informed, about 90,000. The city is growing in all directions. There are many fine pubs lie buildings. Here is the Royal Palace, the University of Norway, the Stoetbing or Parliament House, elc. 1 will give you one or two pages from my journal at this point: August 30th.— H called early this morning to act as my guide about the city.

You know the Norwegians are never more at home than when they are on the water. Then following the bend of the shore, every step bringing the beautiful Fjord more in view, we reach the Castle and Fortress of Akershus, from which we gain a most superb view. Here is one of the favorite promenades of the good people of Christiania, and the walks are crowded on Sundays between 12 and 2. From this height you see the Fjord with its numerous beautifully wooded islands, between which ships and steamers peacefully glide, coming from the stormy, troubled sea beyond. Across the blue bay, gleaming white in the midst of the luxuriance of summer foliage, can be seen on the mainland, the picturesque " Oscar's Halle," which " was originally built by the Norwegians and presented to King Oscar, but now belongs to the city of Christiania." Skirting the new and out-lying portions of the city, we reach the Palace, which stands at the head of the fine Carl Johann Gade, the principal street of the capital. The Palace is situated on rising ground, just above the city, and the view on all sides is something most beautiful. As the Royal Standard is flying, we know that there is no admission, and are content to wait in the delightful sunshine out-of-doors. The Palace itself is an extensive and imposing building, comparatively new. Just before the Palace is a splendid equestrian statue of Carl Johann, by the Norwegian sculptor, Brynjulf Bergslien.and erected by the Norwegian people who were devoted to this King, who loved them as his own race. In the rear and on the sides of the Palace are beautiful gardens and parks and lakes, where white swans lazily float. In the " place " before the Palnce, the Royal Band often plays; and this is one of the favorite gathering places of the city. Il is a delightful and inspiring scene here on a bright, summer day. Before you lies the beautiful Fjord, beyond the city the splendid hills and uplands, reaching away for miles; beautifully wooded and diversified by tiny villages and country houses. At your feet is the busy city, with its towers and spires— into the very heart of which leads the noble avenue of which I have spoken above. I scarcely know which city to admire most, Stockholm or Christiania—they will both amply, richly reward the visitor, and in so different a way, that if it is possible, I should advise every one to see them both. I scarcely tnow when I should have satisfied myself with gazing, had not my Norwegian friend come to me with a kind invitation to join some of his friends at dinner. I was welcomed in a bright, pleasant home, where flowers and home-brightness and the society of most agreeable Norwegian ladies made me feel indeed that I was most highly favored. I shall not soon forget the cordial hospitality which, beginning in this charming Christiania home, has welcomed me during all my stay in Norway; and which makes my memories of this land somewhat more "couleur dc rose" than they otherwise might have been In the afternoon ourdinner company had coffee together in one of the gardens of the city. The evening was spent most pleasantly, closing with a Norwegian Hipper. After which I went home to 1879. 39 dream most pleasantly of my first day in the words of Schiller's Song of the Bell."

Notices have appeared in American papers that the position would be offered to Dr. Thompson, who now resides in Berlin, and in so many ways has served and honored his country. We understand if it had been offered him he would have positively declined, on account of the precarious state of his health. We rejoice that President Hayes has appointed a Minister so eminently fitted for this responsible and honorable position, as will appear from the following notice clipped from the Chicago Advance: " The Hon. Andrew D. White, who has been appointed Minister to Germany to succeed ihe late Bayard Taylor, is a native of Syracuse, N. V., his father being a wealthy and prominent resident of (hat city. His collegiate studies were begun at Hamilton College, where he spent a year, and finished at Vale in 1853, where he was graduated at the head of his class, and took first prize for scholarship and oratory. He then went to Europe, where he was for a time an attache to the American Legation at St. Petersburg, nnd where he laid the foundation of his present magnificent library. On his return he was elected to the chair of History in the Michigan University at Ann Arbor, which he accepted after declining a similar position ofTered him at Vale. Owing to ill health, Mr. White resigned in 1863, and spent six months in Europe. On returning to Syracuse he was chosen a State Senator, serving two terms at Albany. He met Mr. Ezra Cornell, founder of Cornell University, at Ithaca. When the University was organised in 1866 Mr. White became its President; an office he has held ever since. In 1871 he was one of the Commissioners to visit San Domingo. During the same year he presided over the Rpublican State Convention at Syracuse, and in 1876 he was a delegate-at-large from this State to the Convention which nomi- nated President Hayes." FRIEND, MV Y . 1879. Installation of the Governess of Hawaii. Her Excellency the Princess Likelike, who was recently commissioned by His Majesty as Governess of the Island of Hawaii, arrived at Hilo on the 10th instant on tbe steamer bearing Her Excellency's name, and was heartily received by the people. Tbe Governess was accompanied by her husband. the Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, His Excellency the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Mrs. Kapena, Mrs. Mailcai, and Capt. J. H. Boyd of Gov. Dominis' staff. Captain Thomas Spencer, U. S. Consular Agent at Hilo, conveyed the Governess and suite from the steamer to the shore in his barge, which was decorated with ferns and tlowers tor the occasion, and threw open hie house for Her Excellency's use; and at tbe landing the party was received by a committee of tbe people, under an arch ot evergreens. The church building, where Her Excellency met and addressed the people at large, was tilled to overflowins. The venerable missionary of Hilo, the Key. Titus Coan, opened the proceedings with prayer, after which His Excellency J. M. Kapeua read the itoyal Commission appointing the Princess to the office. Her Excellency then read in a clear and distinct voice, and with remarkable prepossession, the following address : Loyal Hawaiians:—lt hat* pleased His Majesty the King, our Gracious and well-beloved Sovereign, to confer upon me, the appointment of Governess of this, the largest Island of our group, the cradleof our chiefs, at whose breast the kings am! noble families of this nation have been nourished. It has not been unusual for you to ho under a Governt'NH, may venerable cousin Her Highness. Hutu Keelikolani occupied this position for a number of years,and I trust that my official acts and my intercourse with you will be such as to commend me to your acceptability, as was the case with the honored chiefess before me. On entering upon the duties of this offlce, permit me to assure you of ruy sentiments of sincere sorrow and regret on the demise of your late Governor. I havereceived the appointment of Governess of Hawaii, with no small degree of satisfaction, not merely hecause here was the. ancestral home of my forefathers, but mainly because it Is my earnest desire to join together with you in the advancement of every good work which shall have for its object the progress and prosperity of all. On the accession of His Majesty to the Throne of Hawaii, he expressed his ardent desire that the people nf our land might increase and prosper. But these good wishes of our King cannot be accomplished, even by a wise admin istration of tho affairs of our Government, unless we all heartily assist in the good work by strictly observing the laws of health and by carefully attending on our children. During the past few years, we have witnessed the beginning here of an era of prosperity in therapid increase of important agricultural industries, whereby our hitherto waste lands are becoming utilized, and affording flattering prospects for the future. I trust we shall all industriously improve the opportunities thusafforded for our material progress, and while living In peace and order, under our wholesome laws, provide for ourselves and families comfortable and happy homes. People of Hawaii: In conclusion allow me to assure you of my respectful regard and sincerealoha toWTinis you. I pray Almighty God to bless and keep you: that He, will smile upon our industries, and that He will be graciously pleased to grant long life to our Sovereign Lord the King. The reading of the address was listened to with and elicited frequent expressions of Bishop marked interest, applause, and at the conclusion there hearty cheers of Exeter (says the N. Y.

But I have found nowhere a greater stimulus to study and thorough preparation. The people are very intelligent, and well up with the times. Private libraries are large, and of the best books. There are several good classical scholars in my congregation. All the leading newspapers, magazines and quarterlies are taken, from the " North American " and Bibliotheca " down. I never, in any place, had so large an access to the best current periodicals as here. There are two good pastors' libraries in my parish, besides private: that of the Rev. J. S. Green, the venerable missionary recently deceased, and that of Rev. J. M. Alexander, formerly of San Leandro, a choice man and a most helpful ministerial brother—compelled by ill health to leave temporarily the ministry. Then, all these islands feel, in the direction of intelligence and piety, the spirit and influence of the old missionaries, a few of whom yet linger—Rev. W. P. Alexander and Dr. Baldwin, 'venerable and lovely men, whose labors have been espec- ially associated with Maui." A Missionary's Monument.—The late Dr. John Geddie, being then the minister of Cavendish, in Prince Edward Island, gave himself to missionary work in the South Seas in 1846. He reached Aneityum in the middle of 1848. For some years he and his family endured many trials and hardships on that heathen island. In 1852 he formed his first church in the New Hebrides. A few years later, through his efforts and those of his fellow-laborer, Mr. Inglis, the whole of the population, numbering 3500, was professedly Christian. In 1863, by their united efforts, the Aneitumese were supplied with the complete New Testament. Dr. Geddie continued to labor on Aneityum, making frequent visits to the other islands, until June 1872, when he had a stroke of paralysis. He retired to Geelong, near Melbourne, where he died on the 14th of December, 1872. Quite recently a marble tablet to his memory was placed in the wall of the chapel where he had so often preached in Aneityum, and on it are these words, worthy of being printed in letters of goW : " WHEN HE CAME HERE, THERE WERE NO CHRISTIANS ; WHEN HE WENT AWAY, THERE WERE NO HEATHEN." —N. Y. Observer, Feb. 6, 1879. Reading the foreeoing notice of the Rev. Mr. Geddie's missionary labors reminds us of his visit to Honolulu in 1847, when making his circuitous voyage from Nova Scotia to the New Hebrides Islands, via Boston, Cape Horn, and Honolulu, a distance of at least 25,000 miles, equalling the circumference of the globe. Mr. Geddie, having been a settled pastor for eight years, felt called to go " far hence" and preach the �41 THE VRI E Wi l), MAY, 1879. Gospel among the savages of the South Seas. He went forth with his family, including wife and two children, accompanied by a lay missionary, Mr. Archibald. They arrived in Honolulu passengers on board the Eveline, of Newburyport, Captain Goodwin, after a boisterous passage of 167 days. (See Friend for July 1847.) After remaining on the Islands about two months, Captain Westfall, of Sag Harbor, gave them a gratuitous passage to the Samoan Islands on board the whaleship Crescent. While here Mr. Ueddie visited the other Islands, and before leaving published the following •' card ": Book in Hawaiian.— We rejoice Whitney & Robertson's Bookstore the new song book in Hawaiian, by Rev.

" UNCLE TOM " AND HEINHCH HEINE. Among the new books, we notice at Thos. G. Thrum's, Fort street, an illustrated edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The print and illustrations are in the highest style of the art. That the demand should call for an edition of this nature indicates that the story of Uncle Tom, by Mrs. Stowe, has taken its place among the standard books of modern literature. Although slavery has passed away, yet the genius displayed in this book will not allow the work a merely ephemeral popularity. Having recently re-read the book, (an old mutilated edition, together with » The Key," published in 1853, falling in our way,) it is gratifying to glance at this superbly illustrated edition. It is accompanied by an interesting bibliography of the book, by Mr. Bullen, of the British Museum, who shows, by his memoranda, that Uncle Tom has been made to speak just twenty different languages, besides several separate editions in some of these languages. We have thought it might take as a good " serial " if some one would translate it into Hawaiian and print it in the native newspaper Kuokoa. Tbe introduction contains a most interesting correspondence between Mrs. Stowe and several distinguished personages and writers, including the Prince of Wales, Dickens, Macauley, and others. The most noteworthy reference to the book is in a paragraph from the writings of the late German writer, Heinrich Heine, so well and widely known, who died in Paris about twenty years ago. It appears that Heine had become notoriously sceptical in regard to the Bible, but in his last days was most inarvclously brought to 1879. confess bis error and accept of the Gospel of Christ as man's only hope. The following beautiful paragraph we copy : " The awakening of my religious feelings 1 owe to that holy book, the Bible. Aston ishing ! that after I have whirled nbout all and heartfelt thanks for your great kindness to us in allowing us the use of the Bethel school-room to hold our temperance meetings. We pray God in his great mercy lo spare you a long life in the great cause, and that he will grant you every happiness on earth for your goodness to us and all the seafaring community. We hope and trust that the temperance cause will flourish on the Island and all over the world. We leave here on Saturday for Vancouver's Island. Good bye. We remain your obedient servants. C. F.

(Signed) my life over all the dance-floors of philosophy, and yielded myself to all the orgies of the intellect, and paid my addresses to nil possible systems, without satisfaction, like Messalina, after a licentious night, I now find myself on the same stand-point where Uncle Tom stands—on that of the Bible. I kneel down by my black brother in the same prayer! AVhat a humiliation!

Pure religion and undeflled before Ood, the Father, is this : To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world. Edited by a Committee of tbe T. I. C. A. Annual Report of the Y. M. C. A. There have been held during the past year, five meetings; four regular and one annual. There are now 58 members to the Association. During the last year the meetings have been held quarterly, instead of monthly; the object thereof being to make the meetings more inreresting and entertnining, and nt least once a quarter have a full attendance of members. The experiment, however, has not proved satisfactory, and the regular monthly meetings will be taken up again during the coming year. The principal work of the Association is still among the Chinese. Our Colporteur, Sit .Vioon, having returned from China, after a visit of some months there, is again at work among his countrymen, by whom he is much liked. Sat Fan is at present on Kauai, traveling around among the Chinese there. On the Chinese work in general, I will add : That there is a regular Chinese Colporteur stationed at Kohala, and one at Hilo; but none on Maui. Although at Makawao we learn that they have meetings among themselves, conducted by some of their number who are Christians. There seems to be a growing interest among the Chinese in general all over the islands. The Chinese Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu have invested their money in a crockery store on Nuuanu street, the proceeds of which are devoted to charitable work among their countrymen. The sum of (4000 has been pledged— principally among the Chinese of Honolulu —for the erection of a church in this city. There has been some talk of our Association dropping this work, or at least of placing it in the hands of some other one or more religious societies, as being a work that bids fair to grow out of our hands in the future, and devote our funds to what it might seem our natural work. The establishment of a reading room and a place of harmless and attractive amusement for young men—there are no developments, however, to report in this line. The annual meeting of the Association was held at the residence of J. B. Atherton, Esq., on Thursday evening, April 24th. There were present about seventy ladies —of Sacramento, .- The following is the result of the election of officers for the coming year : President, W. R. Castle; Vice President, Dr. J.M. Whitney; Secretary, Wm. Kinney; Treasurer, W. F. Damon, re-elected. The following Committees were appointed by the President ; Beading Room—E. Dunscombe. Entertainment—William 0. Smith, T. H. Davies. Chinese Mission—Rev. S. C. Damon, H. Waterhouse, J. B. Atherton, Rev. C. M. Hyde. After the meeting adjourned, the company partook of a bountiful repast. Thus endeth the Tenth Anniversary of the Y.

His article closes thus : " All of our better people believe in treating them well, doing them good, and Christianizing them as far as possible, and in maintaining all treaty stipulations with the Chinese Government, till the treaty can be wisely and honorably modified. They feel there is no need of hot haste in checking the immigration, for any reasons of social ardor, political economy, or Christian states- manship. It would, doubtless, occasion more distress to the American population in California to remove the Chinese summarily, even if that could be done without injury to them and with their good will, before other good laborers could be found to take their places in the families and elsewhere, than their presence here has cansed ever since their arrival."
