FAREWELL TO NORWAY. After the delighful days on Sogne Fjord but little time remained for further rambles in Norway. In Bergen on the western coast, I spent a short time, enjoying this picturesque town, and especially the quaintfisher-folk, who flock hither on market days. Bergen is situated on a wild bleak coast, but the landward side is rendered beautiful by blooming gordens and vertlant hills. Many of the ancient buildings remain, which were used in former times by the German Merchants who formed such a powerful guild here. From Bergen I took steamer, for Hamburg. The voyage lasted two days. We touched at different points on the Norwegian coast, which however as you proceed South, loses the wild grandeur which characterizes it farther North. We stopped for a short time at Stavanger and some hours at Christiansand, a pleasant town. Here I had time to take a delightful walk in the early autumn sunshine on the hills lying back of the town. The sail or steam from the mouth of the Elbe to Hamburg was most delightful—the day perfect in autumn freshness. Soon we found ourselves in the midst of the forests of masts, which border the Hamburg wharfs, and the sound of German words filled the air, and my Scandinavian as far as the journey was at an end. t actual steam, rail and foot-travel was concerned, but to be lived over and over and over again, in pleasant memories. May the richest of blessings rest on these fair lands and may the spirit of peace and prosperity which now reigns here abide forever realizing in its best and holiest sense a golden age «•• for Scandinavia. HAMBDROI. In Hamburg I found a cordial and delightful welcome awaiting me, in the most beautiful home of our Hawaiian Consul, Herr Weber, who with his amiable and accomplished lady and charming children form n rare and agreeable family circle. 1 know that I am at the enthusiastic period of my life, and see everything in warm colors, and perhaps to you at a distance, I seem to deal largely in superlatives, but I can truly say, that of all the beautiful homes which have �62 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, opened friendly doors to me in my rambles, and of all the warm welcomes, which have charmed and cheered me, the home and welcome in Hamburg, exceeded and surpassed all. Everything had been arranged for me, my writing table prepared in the library, my home letters awaiting me, a footman in livery placed at my disposal. Mr Weber was soon at home, and though we had only met once or twice in Berlin, yet from the first we had been good friends, as in many respects we had similar tastes aVid ideas. As it was necessary for me to hasten back to Berlin, I had only two or three days to spend here, but every moment nearly was occupied, my friends were very clever in getting a great deal of sight-seeing and visiting into a short time. We walked and drove through the city, so that even in the short time I was there, I saw much of the picturesque old houses ofthe city—its busy bustling streets, its splendid parks and gardens. One day we made a charming excursion on the shores of the Elbe. We lunched at a famous restaurant, from which there is a superb view over the river on which hundreds of ships and great steamers are constantly sailing. On our return home we frequently alighted from the carriage, to walk through some noble park or visit some beautiful hot-house or garden of friends or acquaintance of theirs, which lie along the Elbe for miles, The family of our Consul is one of the first in Hamburg. His brother is now Rurgermeister, the highest position in this somewhat Republican city, and he pointed out to me one splendid residence after another, where some relative, lived. Mr Weber»introduced me to many gentlemen among them Herr Gossler, Mrs. Weber's father formerly Hawaiian Consul in Hamburg. I met also on the Exchange, Mr Moll, who was many years ago, a merchant in Honolulu.. One evening we dined at the country house of Madame Weber, the mother of my friend, I never felt more honored than in taking this wonderful old lady, 86 years of age, out to dinner. She is one of the most remarkable persons I ever met, retaining to a wonderful degree her brilliancy of intellect, speaking with energy and eloquence on all subjectsof Art, Literature, Religion, etc. She is one of the intellectual forces of Hamburg. Mr. Weber's house is like himself, artistic through and through. It seems to have been a dream of his to have a perfect home, and few dreams seem ever to have been more nearly realized. It is full of beauties, you can turn in no direction, but something suggestively beautiful dawns or flashes on you. You take your coffee after dinner in the tropics, in the midst of rare ferns and vines, with a view beyond into an exquisite little hot-house full also of ferns and rich leaved plants. Rich old Italian wood-carvings, dusky with age, filled some of the rooms, even the " bathtub " is artistic, carved white marble from Italy, rare paintings hung on the walls. Mr. Weber has a special fondness for collecting old coins, Greek and Roman, of which he has a fine collection. I was amazed at the new world which he opened to me, in this respect. He has one work on Greek coins which is in 21 volumes. 187 9. Christ, in vogue in the Punic wars, which were recently found in a grave near Naples. Then there are many Greek and Roman coins in gold and silver, bright and shining as if they had just dropped from the die. Herr Weber has probably the finest pic- gallery, for historical study in all North Germany The dining hall for large dinner parties is a perfect work of art, the walls consist of exquisite paintings from two Weimarartists. From my bed-room I had a splendid view over the garden, which though it lies in the city, is so large that you think you must be in some country place,—great trees, smooth lawns, groupings of shrubbery, carved Italian seats, a Grapery etc, etc. From the spacious Drawing Rooms there is a splendid view also over the Alster, which here broadens like a lake. But I must not weary you further with hurried details, which can give so little idea of the reality. The Hawaiian Flag floated over us during my stay and very bright, beautiful and home like, it seemed to me. It 4s a great pleasure to have spent a few days in such an atmosphere, and better than all, to find that all these material treasures have in no way quenched the noble, generous impulses of their owners. Leaving Hamburg, I reached Berlin September 28. Pleasant as has been all my summer travel, very, very pleasant was it for me to be at home once more, as I have grown so much attached to this German Capital. ture :o: THE IMPERIAL GOLDEN WEDDING IN BERLIN. In letters of gold stands now written in German Annals the record of this most interesting week in which the illustrious Pair, Wilhelm Ist and Augusta, Emperor and Empress of Germany, celebrated, amid the acclamations of a loving and united nation, the anniversary of their fiftieth wedding day. An event of so rare occurrence, as. that of a " the crowning of half a " golden ofwedding wedded life, is of itself, in any century rank in life and in any land, most singularly impressive and tenderly poetic. So that it becomes an anniversary of national and historic importance when occurring in the united lives of the Sovereigns of one of the most powerful nations in History, and in a land where all the events of homeand family life, from earliest infancy to latest age, in palace or peasant's hut, are invested with a beautiful and poetic significance. Hence we find the opening words of the address of the Court-Chaplain pronounced at the marriage service on the 11th of June, especially truthful in their eloquence. song of praise is awaked. " Andthe the From banks of the Rhine and Mosel, from whose heights last evening the gleam of joyful fires illumined the land, to the twin-sees of the north, and again to the shores of the Bodin Sea and far over the borders of Germany rises to the Lord of Lords a new song."— Realizing the warm and sincere interest which many take in the welfare of Germany and ber rulers, 1 have thought a brief outline of the ceremonies attending this unique anniversary might not be uninteresting.— perceptibly larger, hundreds and thousands had come in from the country and other cities to take share in the celebrations.—Perhaps never hod such a company of heads of Princely and Ducal houses gathered in the capital, and their bril- streets the throng grew liant equipages were constantly dashing along the avenues. The first official celebration of the day was a grand open air concert on the Donhofls Platz, one of the principal squares of the city, at nine o'clock in the morning.—lt was a most impressive and imposing affair. The chorus consisted of over fifteen hundred voices from the various musical organizations of the city, famed for their careful and accurate training, attended by bands of music under skilled leaders.— The spacious " Platz" was filled with hundreds and thousands of listeners. The singers filled a huge raised platlorm. Everything combined to render the concert interesting and impressive. The day was lovely with all the beauty and freshness of midJune and the charm which the still early morning possesses.—Summer skies arched themselves above the listening thousands and the golden sun shone as if rejoicing in the gladness of the wedding day.—The music was chosen with rare taste and care. Never have I realized more truly the grand and stately music of the old German church chorals, than as sung by this grand choir ; it moved one like the wind in primeval " March forests." Mendelssohn's " Wedding that most inspiring composition was appro-" priately given as one of the pieces in the programme. From early morning the avenue " Unter den Linden " was filled with thousands, who desired to catch a glimpse of the Emperor and Empress. Flags and banners and festoons of green gave the city a very holiday appearance. Near noon the Emperor and Empress drove at the head ola procession of princes and potentates, —the Duke of Edinburgh representing the Royal Family of England, and the Grand Duke Alexis that of Russia, from their palace to the Imperial Castle where the ceremony of the •'golden wedding" was celebrated.—This took place in the Imperial Chapel, and was confined to the Royal Family, the forejgn princes and the higher German officials. The other guests appeared afterwards to present their congratulations. The ceremony is described as most impressive. The address of the Court-Chaplain was most eloquent, and all the circumstances combined to give a peculiarly solemn and earnest character to the scene. At the conclusion of the ceremony a salute of 101 guns announced its completion to the waiting thousands without, and cheer on cheer rent the air. The Emperor and Empress now took their stand in the great " white saloon," for the grand court reception. After the King and Queen of Saxony, with the long and brilliant train of foreign princes, attended by their lords and ladies, the Emperor and Empress received the " corps' diplomatique," who passed in line before their Majesties, led by the different ambassadors. It was a brilliant and superb pageant. The Emperor and Empress were radiant with smiles and The French collect the facts and the GerFESTIVITIES OF THE DAY. kindliness.

The Empress was regally attired �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, for the occasion, a robe of white satin embroidered with sprays of orange-blossoms, from which swept away a splendid train of cloth of gold or brocade. Near the Emperor stood the Crown-Prince, and at the side of the Empress, her daughter-in-law the Crown-Princess. The latter appeared in public on this day, for the first time since the death of her son, Prince Waldemar. She was attired in the purest white, and wore no ornaments. Her face is still very very sad, and in the midst of the brilliancy and splendour of this joyful day I am sure every one felt a warm and tender sympathy for the princely mother, called to mourn so deep a loss. For hours following there passed a continual line before the Imperial pair, court-officials, corporations, deputations, guilds, etc., etc., offering their congratulations. At length, later in the afternoon, the Imperial carriage appeared drawn by six superb horses, and attended by out riders. From castle to palace a splendid double line of university students formed a spalier through which the Imperial carriage passed. After their arrival at their palace, the Emperor and Empress appeared immediately on the balcony fronting the Linden and bowed repeatedly to the throng below, whose acclamations filled the air. It was one of those splendid crowning moments in a nation's history and no German or foreigner present could have witnessed it unmoved. In the evening there was a gala-opera performance, the opera chosen being the " Olympia " of Spontini, which was superbly sung. None but invited guests were present. The Imperial loge was occupied by the Emperor, Empress, their family and guests. I think 1 have scarcely ever witnessed a more splendidly brilliant sight than that which the Opera house afforded on this evening. The ladies were in full dress and glittering with diamonds, and the gentlemen with few exceptions in uniforms more or less brilliant. Bismarck, Moltke, Mantenffel, Biilou, and other great lights in the German Firmament were present. At night the city was splendidly illuminated. The banks of the Rhine and the adjacent hills were lighted by bonfires, on the left bank Irom Bingerbruck to Rolandseck, and on the right bank from Eltville to the Seven Hills. The fires were lighted at 9 o'clock and kept burning one hour along the whole distance—sixty miles. The grandeur of this demonstration attracted a large number of strangers to the Rhine Valley. On Thursday it was expected that a grand parade would take place, but owing to the fact that the Emperor of Russia was unable, on acconnt of the illness of his daughter-in-law, to be present, this idea was abandoned. On Thursday followed a grand dinner in the castle, and later in the evening a Court-concert. The music was wonderfully beautiful, the performances being from the first singers of the land. And with this fete closed the celebrations of the golden wedding, which will not be soon forgotten by those who were permitted to take any share in the same. All over the city and land for these days was there rejoicing and plenty. Thousands of the poor were feasted at least for once in their lives to a generous and satisfying repast. All ranks seemed to 1879. 63 Berlin accounts of the wedding festivities. William yon Humboldt praises the grace and accomplishments and talents of tbe young bride, Berlin is en fete, for days, quiet, old-fashioned Berlin, of fifty years ago, so different from the brilliant Imperial capital of to-day. Two children came to brighten the princely home, who in the fulness of their noble and beautiful manhood and womanhood, were conspicious above all others, on the late Golden Wedding day, the crown Prince of Germany, and the Grand Duchess of Baden. As Prince William, as Prince of Prussia, crown Prince, Prince Regent, King, and Emperor, has Wilhelm Ist, in a brave, loyal, and royal manner borne himself, meeting with an undaunted energy and will, the greatest difficulties. It is scarcely possible to realize amid the present almost idolatrous devotion of the German people, that the present Emperor, was forced as Prince, in the dark and stormy days of 1848, to take refuge at the friendly court of of England from the threatened attacks of the Berlin populace. Over no triumphal way strewn with roses has he walked to his present throne, but to use the words of his great chancellor and friend amid the testing experiences of " battles of blood and iron!" There was the Danish war, then the marvelous victories of 1866, with the triumph at Koniggratz, and like a memory of yesterday, do we recall the history of those eventful years 1870 and 1871, beginning with the insult of Benedetti on the promenade at Ems, and culminating in the triumphal proclamation of the King of Prussia as Emperor of Germany in the " Salle dcs Glares " at VerA RETROSPECTION. sailles !

My time will scarcely permit of my mentioning them, but I would say, en passant, that 1 think none will prove more interesting than the beautiful and unique present from His Majesty King Kalakaiia to the Empress, which has just arrived in safety from Honolulu, and will be presented this week to her Imperial and Royal Majesty. Those who have been privileged to see it here, express most warmly their admiration, and their astonishment at the exquisite and artistic workmanship which is displayed in the same. A most graceful and appropriate Royal aloha does it bring from Hawaii to Germany. In closing this brief sketch of this most interesting anniversary, I know that I am expressing the feeling of all thoughtful men and women in this land, when I say that it has been a festival full of blessing and rich promise for this great country. The nation has been brought renewed ly together, noble and generous, charitable and philanthropic sentiments have been aroused, and I would fondly hope that the memory of these days of joy and thanksgiving celebrated in the golden radiance of summer in this month of blooming roses, may ever hereafter rise as a lasting barrier betweeff all former memories of national unrest and discontent.

In Nord Hausen a wealthy b.tnker, impelled by the wave of charity which Ims at this time swept over Germany, had given a large sum to found a house for the aged. He had intended it to be kept a secret, but a relative discovering his purpose in a spirit of emulation insisted in giving a tract of land, in order, as he said that his brother-in-law's undenaking might "rest upon a good basis.! " And yet there are pessimists in our days who think the world is quite hopelessly wrong and selfish ! Would it not be well for us all to rejoice that there is so much that is grand and beautiful in the charity and humanity of our century. ! A FEW WORDS IN CLOSING. I have lately through the kind courtesy of my esteemed friend, Dr. Rodenberg, editor of the " Rundschan," been permitted to see the proof-sheets of an article entitled " The Hawaiian Islands," which will appear in that valuable magazine on the Ist of July. It is from the journal of Dr. Ernst Boehr, who was attached to the Imperial German Corvette Arcona, during her visit to Honolulu in 1875. It is an article written in a most kindly and highly enthusiastic tone. The writer recalls most vividly the memories of his visit there and alludes in the most glowing terms to the cordial hospitality which he experienced, in Honolulu He s.iys that in his jouruey round the world he no where found a more refined and educated society than in our capital. He revels in the beauty of this little Island city and finds there in combination .with a charming natural Paradise, a well organized "political Utopia," all of which is very pleasant for me, to hear in this far land cherishing as I do very lovingly and fondly, my Island birth-right. Dr. Boehr refers especially to the kindness of our genial and musical townsman, Dr. Hoffmann, and to the generous hospitality of our German Consul, Mr. Glade and his charming lady. Berlin is nt present rejoicing in a most successful Industrial Exposition of which I may take occasion to write you hereafter. The German Parliament will probnbly soon close its session which has been a long and important one. The Treaty between Geriimny and Samoa has been concluded. The Pacific is attracting more and more the attention of Europe and should the Panama ranal be in a few years completed we may hope for errand things for our ocean. My imagination is busy already erecting castles, whose foundations rest on the different islands in the Pacific, and 1 read new meanings in Seward's prophecy, which I see still heads the Friend. It gives me a thrill of pleasure here to know that there is so much of life and vitality still in our Islands. As an Hawaiian whose love for Hawaii grows greater as the years go by, so 1 send you all, my heartiest, warmest and cheeriest "Aloha." Frank Williams Damon.

Town of Lancaster, Mass Ily Rev. A. P. Marvin. Published by tbe Town. 1879. History of tub Town histories are among the most popular books of New England. This is no exception. It is a large octavo volume of 800 pages. Lancaster was among the very earliest settled interior towns of Massachusetts, even as early as 1643, only about twenty years after the landing of the Pilgrims. Its history embraces facts of deep interest, including the story of the Indian Massacre, by Mrs. Rowlandsnn, wife of the first Minister. She was among the captives. The author, Mr. Marvin, deserves much credit for the skillful manner in which he has interwoven events relating to the aborigines, early settlers, and the history of the town for more than two and a quarter centuries. In glancing over the pages of this volume, we are pleased and somewhat surprised to find names the same as those of several resident families of Honolulu. Not only in Honolulu, but in Lancaster—the Wilders, the Carters, the Athertons, the Damons, are neighbors, and it is no difficult genealogical Aid historical task to trace out connecting lines of relationship between old families of Lancaster and the foreign resident families of Honolulu. Our Island Youth Abroad. It always affords us much pleasure to make mention of the off-shoots of the American missionaries on the Islands, hence, we take special delight in noting the graduation of John Dielle Blanton, Valedictorian, at Hampden and Sidney College in Virginia. Young Dielle, is a son of Eliza, daughter of the Rev. John Dielle, first Chaplain in Honolulu. Miss Dielle married a gentleman in Virginia. This youth was fitted for the Sophomore Class by his mother, except in Greek, there being no good schools in that part of Virginia, where they resided. He is expected to study for the ministry, after teaching a few years. We copy as follows from the Farmville Journal, giving an account of the commencement exercises: " The Valedictory was delivered by Mr. John Dielle Blanton of Cumberland Co., who had taken the First Honor." In a recent No. of the Oberlin Weekly News, we find the following paragraph, relating to Henry M. Castle, the youngest son of the Hon. S. N. Castle, "Mr. Castle delivered a genuine oratoion, characterizing the late Chinese Bill in strong condemnatory terms. He was loudly applauded." We are pleased to learn that our neighbor Mr. Castle, has gratified his four children, James B, Carrie D, Helen X, and Henry M, pnrsuing their studies in the U. S., with a summer excursion to Europe, to be absent about 80 days. They sailed from New York on the 29th of June, with the party under Mr. Touejer's superintendence. They are expected to visit England, France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Most heartily we congratulate the young people, and trust they may return in safety, to renew their studies with zest, ambition and success. Vice Admiral James C. Provost—Some months since we published a letter from Admiral Prevost. It appears that after going to England he has returned again to the Pacific Coast to look after the Mission on Vancouver's Island, in which he feels a deep interest. Through his influence and planning, Mr. William Duncan was induced, over twenty years ago, to establish a Mission there, which has been remarkably successful. The Admiral thus writes us from San FranI only cisco, under date of June 17th : desire to do the Lord's work, and I believe 1 am doing it by re-visiting the Christian settlement of Metlaketla, where a faithful and courageous follower of our Lord Jesus has been permitted to do a great work among the Indians on the North Pacific Coast. Our " Society—the Church Missionary—has lately Missionary Bishop to those parts, and I am anxious to be present when he arrives, which may be about the end of August. The Bishop of Columbia has divided his Diocese into three portions —Vancouver's Island, Caledonia and New Westminister." Our present limits will not allow a full statement respecting this Mission, but we hope, in our next issue, to give the history and progress of the enterprise. sent a Wilder Family, in Old and New England.—The Hon. M. P. Wilder, President of the N. E. Historic, Geneological Society, in his Address at the Annual Meeting, Jan. 1, 1879,remarks as follows: "I would state that until recently 1 had made no thorough research in regard to my own ancestry beyond the landing of Mrs. Martha Wilder at Hingham, in 1638; but I am now enabled, in the Book of Wilders, just published by the Rev. Moses H. Wilder, our corresponding member, to trace my genealogy directly back nearly four hundred years, to Nicholas Wilder, a military chieftain, who fought in the famous battle of Bosworth under the Earl of Richmond, afterwards king Henry VII, and to whom that monarch gave, as a token of favor, a landed estate and a coat-of-arms, which are still in possession of the Wilders in the County of Berks, England, the present rector of Sulham, the Rev. John Wilder, D. D., being the fourth of this line who has sustained that office. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, Gough in England.—In one of his late addresses in England, Mr. Gough, the Apostle of Temperance, referred to his early life and to the fact that he was a book-binder, and worked at his trade in Worcester, Mass., in 1842. During the previous year, 1841, we were often in Worcester, and distinctly remember having a certain book bound that we now have in our library ! Mr. Gough was tbe binder, because when on our visit to the United States in 1869, we listened to an address of Mr. Gough's, and was introduced to him as coming from the Sandwich Islands, when he replied : "It was for you that I bound a book in 1841, and I heard that you went to Honolulu as a missionary." We merely add, that Mr. Gough is not only a most eloquent orator, but an excellent " book-binder." Lookout for Your Postage.—By mail letters are received marked ■ short postage,' and which would not have been received, but for the generosity of a certain official attached to the New York City Post-office. One of our American correspondents thus writes us : " Yesterday 1 had the disappointment of having my letter to you returned from the " Dead Letter Office." 1 took it to the office where it had been mailed and found the postage all right, but after passing the Boston Post-office, it was intercepted at the New York Office.

"Dr. John Hall's people refrained.from hanging a bell in the tower of their church, on the corner of Fifth avenue and Fiftyfifth street, and* would not even suffer the clock to strike, lest the patients in St. Luke's Hospital, opposite should be disturbed."— Christian Union. It rises in silence and splendor, In the light of tbe smiling day; The lesson la touching and tender To sufferers over tbe way. It points to the bells that are ringing In heaven, unheard herebelow; Where the choir celestial Is singing, Near tbe throne tbat Is whiter than snow. The mualc of silence is sweeter Than theringing of bells In towers; It chordawith the cadence whose meter Is sweet aa the wind-harp In flowers. By the coucheswhose patients are sleeping, And dreaming of visions above, Two angels their vigils are keeping, One la Mercy, the otherlaLove. Not even the clock that's revealing The passing away of tbe hour, Can disturb, with dolorous peaUng— Since Love struck it dumb In the tower. "It was all Drink."—By the late decision of the Supreme Court and a Jury, the sailor John Brown, who was found guilty of killing his shipmate in a drunken encounter, has been sentenced to be hung in the month of November. We are glad to learn that the Jury, while condemning him as guilty of murder in the first degree,recommended the unfortunate man to mercy. We are also glad to learn that a petition is circulating in the prisoner's behalf, who asserts that he had no malice against his shipmate, and did not premeditate the deed, but that it was deed, purely the effects of " drink," or as the poor fellow expressed it, when asked how he came "it was all to kill his shipmate, was a case similar to that of the drink." It his friend who killed some years Spaniard Ewa, who is now near and serving out ago, his long term of imprisonment commuted in the place of hanging. Cases of this nature show the base and degrading habit of strong drink. But why, the question may lie asked, are such men any more guilty thnn other notorious drunkards, who destroy their reason and by the use of strong drink, madden their brain ? We do not know that they are, hence is not every drunkard, for the time being a moral monster, who is liable to commit crimes, which consign the perpetrators to the gallows ? This whSle matter of making, selling and drinking intoxicating liquors is fraught with guilt, degradation and misery. Those carrying on the traffic come in for their share of the guilt. We fully believe the time is coming, when making and selling intoxicating liquors, if allowed to go on, will be viewed as the very basest, vilest and guiltiest of all human employments. We think, however, that public sentiment will not allow the manufacture and sale to be carried on. The statistics of pauperism, vagrancy, crime and other evils, stamp this whole subject with the severest condemnation. It is 68 were witness** to tbe stabbing that you were drank in sny sense, except so far as being somewhat under tbe Influence of liquor. Tbe evidence aud tbe circumstances wonld tend to show that liquor bad not taken away your senses in any way whatsoever, but only excited your evil passions. There Is scarcely any doubt that liquor had disturbed your mind, so that you did tbe act under the lnflueuce of it, but there inn be but little doubt that you were entire ly conclous of what you were doing, conclous of the assault and conclous of Its eifects on yourself after it was done. Drunkenness Is no excuse for crime, even if it were proved ; and the Jury were instructed to take all the circumstances of your case into consideration, aud having doubtlessly done so, tbey have returned a verdict of guilty, with which I am bound to say, the wholoCourt concurs. The jury have recommended you to the mercy of His Majesty the King, and we shall not fail to transinll their recommendation, though what effect it may have I can possibly form no opinion, 1 earnestly recommend you now to occupy your time in reflecting upon your past errors, and urge upon you the repentance for errors, and crimes. John Brown, listen to tbe sentence of the law. Tho sentence of the Court is: "That you, John lirown, be taken beuco to tin- prison on the Island of Oahu,and tbat you be kept there in close coTilhiemeiit until the second Friday In November next ensuing, snd on the said second Friday In November, between the hours of six o'clock In the morning anil twelve at noon .'/"" hung f>y the neck within the walls of the said prison until you are dead.

Baxter, member of Parliament, said: "Wherever I traveled four years ago in Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Asiatic and European Turkey, I found that men of all nationalities and creeds, of all.opinions on the Eastern question, and other questions as well, emphatically and unanimously gave evidence that the colleges, schools, churches, and other institutions conducted in the most business-like manner, with most conspicuous ability, with a remarkable freedom from all sectarian or religious narrowness, by American gentlemen, were doing more for the civilization and elevation of the ignorant masses in the East than any other agency whatever. A Risky Voyage Across the Atlantic— Washington, D.
