Among the objects of the late Fair for the benefit of the Bethel, started by the ladies of the choir and so generously patronised by the community, was the purchase of a new collection of Hymns and Music for public worship. After examining various collections, the committee finally decided upon the one having the following title-page : Bethel Repaired and Re-painted. HYMNS It moy be said of the Bethel in Honolulu, the same as was said of the Temple at Jerus ilein, " Forty aod six years was this temple in building." The Bethel was dedicated as a house for public worship in November, 1833—forty-six years ago. During nearly one-half a century it has been opened nearly ■every Sabbath for public worship, seats free; hence, for all necessary repairs and other expenses appeals have been made to the public, and uniformly a generous response has been made. It has long been apparent that some repairs were needed. The recent expenditures amount to a little over 51,200, SONGS OF PRAISE and to meet these bills about $1,000 has already been raised, including the avails of the Fair in May.

Randolph At Company, »0O Broadway, cor. 20th 8k This book of Hymns and Music has met the approval of a very large number of churches in the United States It has a wide circulation among both Presbyterian and Congregational churches. It contains 1411 hymns and 450 tunes and chants. The names of the authors are inserted, and the date when thgy lived. There are very many reasons apparent for regarding this collection as most admirably suited for the purposes of worship in the sanctuary. Aside from its uses as an aid to public worship, we commend the book as a beautiful collection of sacred hymns for private reading. A good hymn-book is a full storehouse of lyric poetry, in which the English language is now so remarkably choice and rich. Some of the hymns of other ages and other languages have been admirably translated and reproduced in our age and language. Hymns of the Middle Ages, hymns from Germany and France and other lands, now delight the modern lover of spiritual songs. Many, very many, are to be found 85 {(©lbSmtS, M M. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 34 WALKS ABOUT BERLIN. A recent French writer has said of Berlin: is a city which presents an appearance "ofItstrength and grandeur; has broad streets; long lines of houses, impressing one more by their size than by their beauty; in no way adapted to please one. Moreover, no effort is ever made to interest one. Here there is but one object, to instruct and to command. Here they know only two elements of civilization, the army and the university, science and war, the discipline of the school and the discipline of the regiment. If Munich and Dresden are the Museums of Germany, then is Berlin the Arsenal!" This 1s a Frenchman's description of the Prussian Capital, and one against which much might be said. And yet there is some truth, I am forced to confess, in it; though with every advancing year of the Empire this will be less the case. 1 am made aware of the lack of the poetic and picturesque elements in the city when I take my daily walk. The city is in memories, too, military. There are few of those delightful nooks which one finds in many other cities, where one may enter into the eloquent silence of the past; few shrines before which one may bend, forgetful of all else, while " far off the noises of the world retreat." We have no Westminster Abbey, with its " Poet's Corner;" no Pere Lachaise, that silent city of the silent dead; there are not here the thousand enticing rambles of Old Kome on the Tiber, or Florence on the silver Arno. Still there are some points which one seeks, with willing feet, in the city and suburbs, connected with the names and memories of men who, through especial beauty of life, or through exceptional genius, which they have known wisely to use, have now a distinguished place in the history of their race. I can scarcely think now of speaking of more than one or two of these, leaving the others, perhaps, for other rambling day*, and appreciative moods. Potsdam is. as you know, a little world of Historical and Biographical interest. The house where Lessing lived—one of the most cherished names in German literature—still stands in Berlin, where he wrote his ever American Misister Resident, on " Ohio Men in the Sasdwich Inlands." Something similar and verr readable might be written about " New York Men," « Massachusetts beautiful "Minna yon Barflhelni." UnforMen," " Connecticut Men" at the Sandwich in this volume. We commend the book both tunately, the house which Heinrich Heyne for public worship and private rending. occupied in the Taubtnstms«e, is no longer (stands. �TIIK FRIEND, NOVEMBER. 86 But the house of Hegel, the Philosopher, may be visited. Chamisso. that sweet poet and noble nature, lived with his wife (whom he so tenderly loved, and whom he found waiting for him, a girlbride, on his return from his long journey around the world) near the Botanical Garden, of which he had charge in one of the suburbs of the city—and I might still further lengthen the list. Let me, however, for this time, ask you to visit, with me, to be seen. MENDELSSOHN." One ot the sacred spots of Berlin is the quiet, shadowy cemetery where Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is buried. For those "THE GRAVE OF who have, in any slight degree, a taste for music, it would have a certain interest; but for those who have felt and feel, not alone in the stimulating atmosphere of the concert hall, but also in the quiet of their home-lite, in that inner world of personal heart-experience, the ennobling, elevating, purifying influence of this great master in the realm of music, it becomes, indeed, holy ground. Thisquaint, old-fashioned Trinity Cemetery, JJreifaitigkeifs Kirchhof, lies now almost in the midst of the great working, restless city. Only a few yeara ago it lay in the out-skirts of the capital, but since the coming in of the empire the city has marched with giant strides in all directions, so that points, which were once even in the memory of those who are still children, like distant out-posts in the desert of the Branderbourg sands, have been brought within the limits of civilization. So that this little grave yard, this resting-place of the " blessed dead," in the midst of the noise, business and turmoil, touches one with its tender hush and beauty, like the sight of a lifted cross by the dusty way-side, or the solemn melody of chimes at noon-time, floating far out above the roar and confusion of the street below. It is near one of the old "Gates" of the city that, looking in the direction of Halle, also by its now out-grown name, reminding one of the early history of the Prussian Capital. I scarcely think you would find the grave we are seeking alone, so hidden away under the drooping trees does it lie. The kindly old keeper of the cemetery led me to it one day, and since then, I think, few have learned the way to it better than I, so that I feel as it were a sort of tender right and privilege in bringing others there. There is nothing at all pretentious in the way of a monument to distinguish it from hundreds of other graves which lie on every side. It is in one ef the shadowest parts of the inclosure. Ash trees, wilh their long, drooping, graceful branches, encircle and shield it. Ivy, of most beautiful and luxuriant growth, has thrown a verdant mantle over the rising mound, with its never changing freshness in winter and summer, a fitting type of the fame of him who was laid away here to rest, when his life-work was ended. The white marble slab which stands at the head of the grave tells us much in a few plain words; its two sculptured dates, speaking so eloquently ! Dead, before he had, as it were, reached tbe prime of his manhood; his work completed, wh%n so many are realizing, for the first time, what the meaning of life and labor is; his epitaph written in letters which 1879. are never to fade at less than forty years of age ! Surely, those whom " the gods love, die young." Chopin died with a broken heart before he was forty. Euber had only reached that age. Schubert finished his melodious mission just as he was entering the thirties. Mozart's triumphant career was ended at thirty-five. I recall with especial distinctness, one visit I made in the early summer to the grave of Mendelssohn. It was just at the passing of the day into evening. The heavy rain clouds, which had gathered and gloomed through the dny, had broken in plentiful showers of rain. The sun had appeared again, in saving adieu, and the world stood transfigured in a blaze of diamonds. The cemetery was fragrant as a garden in spring; the moist and clinging vines, the verdant festoons and draperies of ivy, the opening roses, myrtles and violets, making a bright and pleasing picture. A German cemetery has a certain indescribable charm, particularly this one. where Mendelssohn sleeps. There is a quaint, hushed gentleness and thoughtfulness in the arrangements of the flowers and wreaths; a world of poetry in the inscriptions and texts on the stones among the flowers which mark the graves; in that spirit of love; in that anticipation of meeting and re-union which lights and glorifies the oft repeated Auf wieder sehenThe air of the twilight seemed suffused with peace; musical with the melody of some words," which might have " Song without risen from the quiet grave of the great musician.—At least it was a pleasing fancy to cherish, that the spirit of the master was with us still. THE MENDELSSOHN FAMILY. A thoughtful writer and appreciative lover of Mozart has said, " To open Mozart's letters is like opening a painted tomb." These words might, with equal appropriatness, be applied to a series of sketches which have very recently appeared in Germany in book form, under the title of " Dei Mendelssohn Fatnilei." These are made up largely of the letters of the family and extracts from their journals, and together form a whole of such rare and perfect beauty, a glimpse as it were into the very heart-life of one of the most remarkable and gifted families which Germany has ever produced, that it is scarcely to be wondered at that the book is one of the most popular of the year, especially in Berlin, where the family mostly lived. I wish it might be possible for me to give you something of an idea of the rharm, the wonderful fascination of these sketches, and yet this is so subtle, so inseparable a part of every page and chapter, that in endeavoring to do anything of the kind I should be forced in the end to transcribe for you the whole work. The name Mendelssohn is especially known outside of Germany through the illustrious musician and composer, of whom we have spoken above. Hut here he is but one, although perhaps the most famous of a race »o highly gifted, so splendidly endowed, that in rising from the perusal of these eloquent pages, I feel to join most warmly in that enthusiastic exclamation recently made by one who had read the book, A good Burger Familei" —in the fullest, grandest sense of the words, A right Princely Race f * " " The opening pages of these biographies takes us far back into the first part of the preceding century —to the well-known founder of the present family, the philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn, born in 1729. And what a record has this one member of the family left behind him ! Enough to wreath the name with unfading laurels. Coming in early youth to Berlin, well-nigh pennyless, born of a race hated, and condemned to walk through life the object of Christian scorn and ridicule, an outcast Jew, painfully deformed in person, and yet rising in time to the topmost heigths of philosophical attainment, heralded as a second Moses, sent to plead for his oppressed people from the land of their bitter bondage, the revered and tenderly loved friend of the wisest, and greatest and most honored men of his century. Surely, this is a metamorphosis, such as is rarely seen ! Moses Mendelssohn will always hold a unique position in history. He was one of the first and foremost in his efforts to raise his nice, sunk for centuries in an almost, apathetic ignorance, who were wanderers indeed on the face of the earth, from whom the so-called Christian race shrank as before the murderer's mark on the brow of a banished Cain. The Jews of our time owe to him more than to any one else the liberty which they to-day possess. He was the chosen friend of the great Lessing. His home, humble and plain, became the rallying point of great souls in those fierce intellectual conflicts which agitated Germany during the last century. He was the Socrates of his age. His treatise on The " Immortality of the Soul" will ever hold a plice among the Classics of Literature. The iustre which he imparted to the family name has been in no way dimmed in succeeding generations. One son of the Philosopher became the founder of the celebrated Mendelssohn Banking House, which still enjoys a European reputation. A daughter became the wife of Freiderick yon Schlegel, and was distinguished for her literary activity. A son of hers, by a previous marriage, Philip Veit, was a well-known name among the artists of Germany. A grandson of Moses, Alexander Mendelssohn Bertholdy, was the father of a distinguished family. His son, Felix, is known as one of the most illustrious musical composers of this country to all the world. His eldest daughter, Fanny, composer and pianist, was one of the most distinguished female musicians who has ever lived. She was married to William Hensel, ihe distinguished artist and painter, truly, a noble pair ! Still another daughter, Rebecca, who had the training of a lady of the Renaissance, reading Plato and Homer with ease in the original, had for husband Professor Dirichlet, one of the first mathematicians of modern times. These are the names of the most distinguished of the family. There are others who probably amid less brilliant surroundings would have attained to a distinguished name, as we have read of no one in the wide circle of relationship who was not possessed of superior mental endowments. It can readily be understood that a work which introduces one to the inner life of such a family group is absorbingly interesting. One moves in the choicest of company, that of the great spirits of the age, in the midst of intense intellectual and artistic �111 I: hRI X \ activity. Circumstances favored the growth iind development of the family. Wealth flowed in upon them, their social position was that of the highest, feted by all the crowned heads of Europe. Surely, the times had changed since Moses, the despised Jewish boy, speaking sad mixture of Hebrew and low German, entered Berlin for the first time ! But more beautiful than all else is the spirit of tenderest, most devoted love which animated these pages. The family bond was never broken, even through difference of religious creed. Some adhered to their Jewish faith and ritual; others became earnest Protestant Christians, notably Felix, to whom we owe some of the most splendid creations in the whole range of Christian music; and one member of the family became an ardent Roman Catholic. The scene shifts in these pages from one land to another. Wo have delightful letters, descriptive, humorous, tenderly loving from England, from France, from Switzerland, from Belgium, from Italy. What an unending picture opens before us ; We have spirited sketches drawn from life of Queen Victoria, Freiderick Wilhelm IV, Prince Albert, Goethe, Humboldt, Cornelius, Imniennann and Heine, Cherubini, and Spontini, Thorwaldsen, Vernet. and a host of others. We are behind the scenes. We meet the great actors of the day, off the stage, and learn to know them as men and women. We listen with bated breath to the production of some great musical work awaiting the world's verdict, whose composition we have followed step by step. We hear the tumult of applause, share in the showered laurels, and have a place in the little family circle which gathers with joyful tears and smiles, to rejoice together in the stillness of home. The Mendelssohn House formed one of the most famous centers of Berlin life; all that was distinguished in science or letters or music found here a place. But it is ever about the life and work of Felix that the interest of the reader especially centers. One of his biographers has said, "The early death of Mendelssohn like that of Raphael threw all Europe into mourning." As great as his musical genius was the wonderful beauty and purity of his personal character and life, engaging and attracting all who came at all within the range of his personal influence. This is especially illustrated in the " Letters " before us, those written by him to his father and mother, and sisters— especially that marvelously gifted sister Fanny. His life was a busy and splendidly prolific one; one which early ended, it is true, but perfectly rounded out. In England, he was especially loved; and his music is almost as well known abroad as at home. Among his most important works are the exquisite " Songs without words;" the music to the " Midsummer Night's Dream;" the orations of " Paulus and Elijah,'—two of the finest musical productions of any age; the music to " Antigone." It is with difficulty that I force myself to close my sketch of this remarkable family; so singularly have they fascinated me. Such lives are the glory of the human r«ce; a stimulus to all to aspire, more and more, to the "good, the true and the beautiful."

"Enjoying the favor of the King of Prussia, he was sent on various important missions'which enabled him to extend his investigations, net alone to Europe, but also as far »s Siberia, the Chinese Borderlands and other remote regions. Into these important stores of personal discovery and investigation, he threw the strong, clear light of ■ his own marvellous intellect, und the result was the most famous of his works, one of the most remarkable books of all time—the world celebrated Cosmos. It would be unwise here, within the limits of this brief sketch, to attempt anything like a description of his manifold contributions to literature and science. The whole universe furnished him materials for his work, as we, read the record of his life; he rises before us as a Titan intellect. He was celebrated as Philosopher, as Geographer, National Economist, Historian, Philologist; acquainted with the literature of every land—of the Old and New World, of the Occident and Orient; one who, as has been well said, was to his age what Aristotle and Leibnitz were to theirs. He lived to a ripe old age, retaining in advanced years a singularly brilliant and active intellectual life. For years he was one of the celebrities of the Prussian Capital, whom it was regarded as an especial honor to see. The picture of his genial, smiling and benevolent face, is still fresh in the memory of the Berliners. The hpuse where he lived in the Oranienburger-Strasse, where he lived for so many years, surrounded byhis books, and in the company of his own great thoughts, is now marked by a simple marble slab with his name. After the long journeys of his early manhood and the herculean intellectual efforts of his later life, his body rests side by side with that of his brother in the hush and seclusion of Tegel, while over them both the solemn cypresses keep watch and ward. These great souls have passed within that mystery where no human eye can penetrate, but where we may hope that they have entered upon the fullness of that Eternal Life, for which their earthly years were but the preparation.

We opened our doors and looked out upon a bright world of beauty, made so by an abundance of trees, vines, ferns, shrubbery and flowers—all created by the Hand of an Unseen Friend.

A Life Worth Living Memohials of Emily Bliss Gould, of Rome. By Leonard Woolsey Bacon. New York: Anson D. F. Randolph & Co., 900, Broadway. On opening a box of books from the publishers of this volume, we found several new books intended for the Editor. Among them we find the beautiful tribute of Rev. Dr. Bacon, now of Norwich, Ct„ and formerly of Geneva, Switzerland, to the memory of Mrs. Gould, whose labors among the orphan children of Rome have rendered her name dear to all friends of humanity in Europe and America. Long has the reading public been made familiar with her work by means of her admirable letters as published in the N. Y. Observer and other papers. This volume is a most charming sketch of her life, penned by Dr. Bacon in his happiest moments of authorship, inspired by the contemplation of the life of a truly noble Christian woman. Attached to the volume is a striking photograph of the lady, which presents us a most dignified and winning countenance.

The following fable, by one of the Beecher family—Charles—we think, is very suggestive, which we copy from the Advance : " Many years ago a great Eastern philosopher made a large mirror, in a beautiful frame, and hung it up in his parlor. A dog went before it, and ruffled up his hair, growled and showed his teeth. The cat came in, and immediately went and looked behind to find the other cat. A simpleton came in, and seeing the mirror, began to congratulate the artist on his good luck. ■ What a happy accident!' said he. ' Now you can see how you look, and can shave without cutting your face.' ' Friend,' said the artist, 'it was not an accident. It was to see my face in it that I made it.'

Koutledge & Sons, and Anson D. F. Eandolph & Co. 1879. Some years ago we read " Memorials of a Quiet Life," by the same author. That volume introduced the reader to a most choice circle ol Christians in the clerical and higher walks of English society. The volume now under review is substantially the same kind of a book, but the range of characters noticed introduces the reader to a still wider circle of the very choicest European Christian society. The life of Baroness Bunsen was spent in Wales, England, Italy, Germany and Switzerland Her companions were Emperors, Kings, ambassadors and literary men and women who irToved in the very highest circle of European society. She was the honored guest of Queen Victoria and the Emperor of Germany. Her husband was the renowned historian and Egyptian scholar, the Ambassador of Germany at Borne and in Lsmlon. It is not to the public career of this noble KU I KM), NOVEMBER, thrsugh the thousand pages of this volume it is most instructive to trace out the various links connecting families in England and Germany. Did our limits allow, we could add much in commending this volume to the perusal of the public. Her range of reading was extensive, and her criticisms upon literary and theological books eminently thoughtful and practical. She closes a notice of Buckle's book on !' Civilization," wherein he endeavors, from a wide range of historical research, lo establish the principle of atheism, with this paragraph from page 399 : " The reply to nil attempts to stigmatize the religion of Christ as the cause of evil is unanswerable, as the fact is and remains, that the faith which causes sin and misery is not the faith of Christ, but a system falsely so called, which the greatest foes of the Gospel cannot deny, if ever they can be brought to comprehend what is the Gospel and what the error of man presuming to interpret the word of God." On the 24th of May, 1870, she thus writes one of her sons—on page 410—referring to the unseen world, to which her husband had taken his departure : " In the regions to which your dear father has attained there is fulness of joy. fulness of work, fulness of object, forthe fitted faculties, and the contributions of earth, however precious here, would have the flavor of sorrow, even if they could reach the abode of blessedness. And yet there are two stanzas of a hymn which I found written out in Theodora's hand—l know not whence copied —which strike my feelings with the melody of truth : 1879.

It is with feelings of sadness thst we have of one of osr most valued members, William F. Damon. —Born in Honolulu, Funahou early claimed him as a pupil; and here the greater part of his to record the death education was received. Five years ago he went to Minneapolis, and there, for a year, attended a Mercantile College. The year following he spent as a member of the Massachusetts Agricultural College nt Amherst, and the love and respect of his associates, at both these institutions, .followed him when he returned to his home here in Honelulu. For tho past three years office duties, in the employ of E. 0. Hall & Son, occupied his attention till his late sickness removed him from our midst. The record of his life is brief, but the length of the invisible record, God alone can estimate. Our Treasurer has left us; but when we remember the looks of sadness, the tears, not alone of sympathy, but of sorrow also, at his loss, on the part of all classes in this community, the loving influence of his grand, Christian manhood is plainly manifest. How forcibly did the words of Christ's minister, at the burial service, come home to us. We can but echo the thought: Why was one so good taken ? The answer comes: From earth's true nobility are chosen the honored in heaven. We wish to call attention to our advertisement in this issue, and particularly to that part ol it relating to the Employment Comrnitlee. The need of such a Committee is surely evident. While so many young men arc continually coming to Honolulu, and tho greatest port of them seeking employment, the want is clearly felt by those interested. The object of the Association being to do good in every practicable way which is brought to its notice in this respect, it has seemed a good thing to aid, as far as possible, strangers coming to our city.

A., leading to an all-engrossing discussion upon Unjust Taxation as a possible germ of communism here in our own fair islands. Monopolies were also spoken of as an impending evil, tending to draw a barrier and shutting off the poorer ol mankind from the free exercise of their rights and destroying that balance of power wherein alone, it senms, liberty is secured to all. Among those that entered into the various branches of this discussion, we would mention the names of' Dr. C. M. Hyde, S. N. Emerson, Rev. S. E. Bishop and C. J. Lyons. _The subject of Unjust Taxation will be continued on at the next meeting of the Y. M. C. A., to be held Thursday, Nov. 20th, when the Association will be happy to receive a full attendance of all interested in Y. M.C. A. work. Idleness generally engenders evil. And, since evil is the object of attack, this has seemed one way of striking a blow. What remains now is for employers and Practical Christianity is no sanctuary those wishing employment, to apply to this sensation, no Sabbath day service. It is Committee. the conscientious discharge of all duty with No man has come to true greatness who a desire therein to know Jehovah. It makes has not felt in some degree thst his life bea temple and the whole life longs to his race, and what God gives him the whole world he gives him for mankind. Phillips a priesthood, " eating and drinking and doing all things to the glory of God." Brooks. — 92 Pure religion and undeflled before God, the Father, is this : To visit thefatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world. Iv ill thy teare remember, " Jesus wept." Rejoice ! Tbe pulses of tbe mighty bcart. Unchanged in glory, vibrate to thine own Responsive ; and though now exalted high. Above all majesty, aud myriad ones, Adoring oust their crowna before his feet ; The hand to which ofold the weeper clung. The fallen kissed, the leper touched, tit ill wields The sceptre of creation. Eyes that shed O'er human grave a flood of humsn tears, .Still look with pity on this desert world ; Anil Bethany's Chief Mourner is with thee ! Dr. Mclhtff. — At a recent meeting of the Y. M. C. A. it was voted to provide and place in some prominent locality a box for the reception of such spare reading matter as might be donated for the Hospital and Prison. The box is now ut the entrance of Messrs. Whitney & Robertson's store. All books and papers received will be distributed where they will do the most good. "There is no greater mistake," said Dr. Bushnell, " than to suppose that Christians can impress the world by agreeing with it. No ; it is not conformity that we want jit is not being able to beat the world in its own way ; but it is to stand apart and almve it, and to produce the impression of a holy and separate life—this only can give us a true Christian power." Intelligence has been received of the death at Jerusalem, of the missionary Bishop Gobat, of the church of England. In early life he went on a mission to Abyssinia, and was afterward sent to Palestine, where he became bishop in 1846 He was a man nf decidedly evangelical principles, earnest in spirit and laboriously engaged in the work of missions. A German by birth, he was appointed on the nomination of the present Emperor of Germany, the naming of the bishop belonging alternately to the Emperor of Germany and the Queen of England.— N~. Y. Observer. Thrice Golden Wedding.—The fiftieth marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Francis Adams occurred last week. It is an interesting and very unusual fact that three golden weddings of successive generations of'the same family should have been observed in the same house. That of President John Adams and his wife was celebrated on the 25th of October, 1814. That of their son, President John Quincy Adams and his wife, on the 26th of July, 1847. The third has just taken place. It will be noticed that the intervals between these occasions were respectively thirty-three and thirty-two years—almost exactly the lifetime of a generation. At the time of their golden weddings, President John Adams was seventy-nine, and President J. Q Adams had just entered his eightieth year. Mr. Adams is seventy-two.— American Exchange. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
