The attendance at all the meetings was very large. The most important change to be noticed is the resignation of Rev. A. Bingham as Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, on account of continued feebleness of body and voice. Mr. Bingham however, continues to reside in Honolulu, in the service of theTA. B. C. F. M., devoting himself to the preparation ofbooks in the Gilbert Islands language. Rev A. O. Forbes of Hilo, the new Secretary, is expected to enter on the duties of the office about the first of August. Miss. E. K. Bingham has also resigned the charge of Kawaiahao Female Seminary. The Trustees are anxiously seeking some one suitable to fill the vacancy. The Morning Star sailed on the 21st. A larger crowd than ever before gathered on the vessel and the wharf to witness the farewell services at the departure of the Missionaries, who go to the Gilbert Islands to give new impulse to the work there. Messrs. Taylor and Walkup with their wives all expected to open a Training School on Apaiang; and the Hawaiians who went out, Rev. S. Kahea Maunaloa and wife, are to be located with them as assistants in the school. The vessel was heavily laden with the usual supplies for the missionaries, and lumber for new dwelling houses. The missionary packet is provisioned this year for a ten month's voyage. Rev. J. F. Whitney and family are expected to return in the Star for a visit home after ten years' labor on the Marshall Islands. \m Series, gal. 37. RAMBLES INTHE OLD WORLD- No. 42 IN THE LANDS OF THE ROSE AND THE THISTLE. No. 2. Rarely have I known a day more fair, more full of a tender, sunlit beauty than that which brought us from England to Scotland. We left Liverpool in the morning and long before the twilight had gathered about Arthur's Seat," we were in Edinburgh. I could have wished It might have been possible to linger amid the classic region of the " Lake District," at whose hills and mountains we were permitted to gaze from a distance. Even in passing, it was a pleasure to feel that Windermere, the " Queen of all " the Cumberland Lakes," lay peacefully sleeping in the hush of the noon-tide and the beauty of the opening spring, very near at hand. I could fancy that the spirit of the singers, who loved this region ao well, rested in a way of blessing on the scenes which filled them with such high and great thoughts, and which they have painted so vigorously, so tenderly, so truly for all the world. Wide fields growing softly green underthe verdant touch of the spring, sweep away to low foot-hills, rising toward heights beyond whose curving lines, softened still more by the tremulous haze of the warm mid-day, struck me as peculiarly lovely and graceful. It is scarcely to be wondered that Wordsworth and Coleridge and Southey loved these peaceful yet inspiring scenes. As we crossed the Scottish border the whole aspect of the country seemed to change as by magic. The tilled English fields, bordered by hedges, gave way to grassy hillsides, unbroken by dividing lines. Trees and shrubbery yielded to clustering growths of furze and heather. The blue sky grew of sudden grey, and veils of mist drifted down to us, and great rain drops blew with the wind through the openings in the hills. There was a freshness, a breezy healthfulness in the very air. which spoke to as from the first, of the Highlands. But before we reached Edinburgh the clouds parted and the evening sun came out in its glory, lighting the city with rarest beauty. We are glad to welcome back to the islands for a brief visit, Gen. S. C. Armstrong, son of the honored missionary who had charge for so many years of his life, of the department of public education in this Kingdom. Twenty years of absence have witnessed many changes, alike in Hawaii nei and in the United States. But the grey hairs that have begun to show themselves are now old veteran's war-worn locks. The same boyish ardour, the same restless energy that characterized the youthful editor of a score of years ago, are characteristics now of the honored educator, who has shown the people of the Southern States the value and of common school education, The Trustees of Punahou School the methods common sense and on Christian in managed have sold Spreekles, Esq., for $5000, principles. eight lots of land, each 200 by 200 feet, Under the auspices of the Y.

The Castle of Dreghorn stands on the curving slopes of the Pentlands, an hour or so from Edinburgh. It is a fine spacious edifice, partly covered with ivy, with tower and turrets and arches, strong and stately, and gray without and bright with all cheer and home-beauty within. It has seen the Pentlands changing from brown to green for something like two hundred Springs! Glorious stretches of woodland lead you off on either side, while tlown to the murmuring stream in the hollow below sweep away the queenest ot meadows, with here and there stately drooping trees, and varied with wandering whitewooled sheep and capering lambs. Passing down the long drive you come to the ancient Loudge," with its stone turrets half smoth"ered in a wealth of the richest ivy. Still farther on are the cottages of the tenantry and the village of Collington down in the valley, or clinging amid the trees to the hillside. And what a magnificent reach of country spreads itself out before you on every side. There in the foreground, like some mighty gulf of tenderest green, lighted by bursts of splendid April sunshine, and deepened by the shadows of drifting clouds, lies a superb forest ridged, village dotted plain. Then beyond this, where the sun comes out and the clouds part at its coming, may be seen still, motionless in its verdant setting, like a silver mirror the Firth of Forth in the distance. Beyond this forming our farthest horizon, rise higher peaks in early mornings, sometimes white with newly fallen snow. But fairest of all in this fair and goodly landscape, at your left the unrivalled beauty of the Scottish capital, watched over by its guardian hills meet you. You should see it from this point, now lost in the shadows or showing faintly through passing veils of mist, now rising triumphantly out of the cloudy depths a glorified golden city, its towers gleaming in the radiance of the high noon, glittering and luminous. Beautiful as was this outer world, we learned to look with delight to the home- coming, after days of pilgrim-tours and of historic wanderings, and to the welcome awaiting us within the Castle. Blessings on this Christian Scottish home, and their kind and generous hearts whose warmth and sympathy and gentle courtesy made us, strangers at our coming, feel like kinsfolk when we parted. IN AND ABOUT EDINBURGH. I am in no way faithless to memories of other scenes which have charmed me, nor am I leas in love with certain places which have in other days given me much delight, when I say that Edinburgh is, without a word of question, the most beautiful city I have as yet seen in Northern Europe. Those of the South I have still to see. I would not even except Geneva, with its beautiful lake and noble mountain views, nor Stockholm so proudly cresting the deep blue waters of Malar. From the first cloudless sunset of our arrival till the day of our leaving under the blue sky of early April, I felt the presence of this perfect, queenly city as a perpetual joy and inspiration. Were it other- JULY, 18 80. wise than beautiful, it would be strange. Its situation is most picturesque and abundantly adapted to display to the best advantage the unusually fine architecture of the city. By this kindly help of nature, every- thing of man's devising is enhanced a thousand fold. Even the most prosaic edifice receives something of a poetic beauty and finish from either its surroundings or the point on which a kindly necessity has compelled it to rest. Then, more than this, Scottish taste has budded and blossomed in this austere north, and under gray skies, into a beauty and grace, which awakes in every visitor the most astonished admiration. You wonder that amid the influences of Scotch Theology and Metaphysics, this fair city, with its numerous statues and inspiring monuments and its stately edifices, suggesting the perfect temple of classic and heathen Greece, could have been planted on these Scottish hills. Edinburgh is the most graceful and winning paradox I know of. The city is divided into the old and the new town. Between these lies a rocky ravine, which has been transformed into most beautiful gardens, open to the people. On one side rises a huge rocky crag, which is surmounted by the immense Castle of Edinburgh. From this you pass down into the long, narrow streets of the old town, with their towering, many stoned houses. Facing the Castle and across the valley lies the principal street and promenade of the city, and one of the finest things to see in all Europe, Prince's Street. Edinburgh fairly teems with historic associations, and the stones of the pavement seem to have voices. Here, you re-read half of Scottish history; here, kings and queens have lived, and here a portion of the romantic and melancholy drama of Queen Mary's life was enacted. Holyrood Palace abounds in interest for every visitor. I wish we might linger longer here. The tapestries, the hangings, the furniture are still standing in the palace rooms as in the days of the unhappy queen. You are shown the little supper room where Mary was sitting with fiizzio, when Darnley and the other assassins stole up the dark and winding stair-way at the side, lifted the now faded arras, and rushed upon them. After these long, long years there seems still something uncanny in the blood-stains in the hall beyond. In the quaint old High street still stands the house of John Knox, the Reformer. You can fancy him walking down the long street to the Palace, where Mary gave him, far from loving welcome. In one of the market places is a carved cross in the pavement, which marks the spot where thousands and thousands of the reformers were burned and executed for their unwavering faith. And I could go on thus, page after page, naming historic points in the city, did my time but permit. Edinburgh is famed the world over for its great men, who have been eminent in philosophy or theology, or science or poetry. To-day its citizens are known for their refinement and intellec- tual and religious culture. Its benevolent and charitable institutions are numerous, and rank with the first in the world. I recall with especial delight one afternoon and evening I spent in Edinburgh. It was the finest day of the year, when the long struggle of the winter for life seemed over, and the victory of the spring assured. I chanced to be on Prince's Street at the supreme moment of this raw day, just when the city grew glorious and almost transfigured in the splendor of the setting sun, and the coming on of evening. The whole length of this superb promenade stretched off like some triumphal way. At one end rose into the luminous sunlighted evening sky, heights surmounted by lofty monumental columns. One side was closely filled with more prosaic and modern buildings, but on the other lay, I thought, one of the fairest views my eyes had ever rested on. It may have been the exquisite beauty of the hour, I scarcely know, but it seemed like the vision of an enchanted city. Near at hand, was the splendid Gothic monument to Scott, and to right and left of this, other statues, recalling distinguished names. A little further removed a line of buildings with massive pillars and classic figures. At my feet the gardens of the city grew dim with the gathering purple shadows of the evening. Across the valley the old town and the Castle, glowed in the full sunlight, radiant in the slant beams, then grew softly, wonderously beautiful in the after glow, all sharp lines fading tremulously away, while the time-stained gray of towers and battlements lost itself in the background of the sky. The pleasure of our visit to Edinburgh was largely enhanced by the renewal of our acquaintance with Miss Isabella Bird, whose name is remembered so pleasantly in very many of our Island homes, and whose charming and graphic descriptions of Hawaiian life and scenery, are so widely known and appreciated, and no where more so than with us. Miss Bird's home is in the Scottish capital, and our memories of the days spent there will always be the brighter for the thought of her kindly courtesy and hospitality. Her very many Island friends and admirers will, I am sure, hear her name again with sincerest pleasure. Since her visit among us, she has visited the Rocky Mountains, and her eloquently poetic letters from that upper world of primeval forests and glittering snow-clad peaks, have been received with the greatest favor. Last year she returned from a visit to Japan, and I feel convinced that her book on that country, which is to appear in the autumn, will be even more popular than any of hers which have preceded it. Miss Bird's name is here well-known, and she takes a prominent place among the writers of travel. Through Miss Bird's kindly introduction we came to know some of the choice people of Edinburgh, this city of delightful society. Our evening visit was especially pleasant, and I mention it here because I am sure the name of Dr. John Brown, the author of that most pathetic and beautiful of poems in prose, "Rab and his Friends," is dear to many in the Pacific. Dr. Brown is well-known as an author and essayist. His style is attractive, his language forcible and eloquent, and at times delightfully quaint and picturesque. Some of his shorter sketches are known the world over, and " Rab and his Friends," may be said to be one of the most exquisite and touching things in the English language, its author is now on in years, lives quietly in his pleasant home, loved by all his follow citizens, �JULY. 1880. and by many, I am sure, whom he does not grim and severe.

Or,—but it were kinder and wiser to tell you of one or two of the places where we really did go—in the body and not in lingering fancy. One gray day, with the wind and the rain against us, but a grand pair of horses before us, we drove to Roslin, interesting for its ruined castle and chapel. The latter is a perfect Gothic garden of luxuriant, and yet exquisite bloom, a glorious maze of clustering, intricate carvings and traceries. The castle is in a sadly ruined state, too decrepit perhaps to be called any longer in itself beautiful, but eloquent still in its reminders of other ages. You are shown a damp, dreary arched vault where, our old guide told us, Queen Mary hid for some weeks when she was flying before Elizabeth. What a gloomy place for a haven of refuge Without it was charming, notwithstanding the April drops which filled the gray noon-tide, now and then with their uncalled for presence. Below was a tumbling stream, beneath which our tottering, and shadowy guide (he might have dated from Queen Mary's days) told us a secret passage ran far away from the castle to some opening beyond. The opposite bank, some one said, would be as blue as the summer sky a little later on, when the blue bells came. Further down the stream, reached by a lovely, romantic way under the arching trees, lies Hawthornden, once the home of the poet Drummond. To have left Scotland without a peep at Melrose, would have been to do a thing for which 1 am sure you would never have forgiven me. A visit there would have been enough to have lifted any day quite into the number of those which we note as worthy of special remembrance. But thanks to the great kindness and rare guiding skill of our very kind friend and host, we were enabled to see much more. 1 shall long remember this April day with pleasure; with now a swift ride by train through historic Scottish landscapes, or more leisurely carriage drives over country roads, bordered by verdant hedges. The very spirit of peace and contentment seemed to rise like a continual hymn from the quiet meadow lands and grass grown hill sides. We had much pleasure in visiting Abbotsford, which the memery of Sir Walter Scott renders so strikingly interesting. Here he lived and wrote for many years, and here weary and worn and yet victorious, he died. The house is filled with reminders of the great poet and novelist. His books stand as he left them, and seemed lonely and sad, now that the hand and eye of their former owner are still and closed. The beautiful gleaming Tweed flows swiftly on at the foot of the lawn. They placed Sir Walter near the window that he might, as his life went out, watch its onward flow. Abbotsford is painfully interesting; painfully, for you feel the emptiness, the vanity of all this now dusty material wealth lor which the great poet, with a pathetic weakness, sacrificed so much and labored as under the lash. But he left his name ■' unstained ! Melrose, we did not see by moonlight, (the orthodox way) but under a gray sky, warmed by a sun which we felt was there !

Here is buried the famous wizard or magician, Sir Michael Scott, of whom the poet speaks in Last Minstrel." Here too " The Lay of the tradition says, lies buried the heart of Robert Bruce.

From the hills above it you may look towards the " Land of the Border" on the horizon, and involuntarily in looking you find yourself humming, I am sure, some ballad or other, which long ago was born there. Dryburgh was founded during the reign of David I, and has its own place in history, of which we will not speak here. To-day its chief interest, and that a very great and tender one, lies in the fact that Scott is buried here; that a great hearted friend of yours and mine and all the world, has found his last resting place beneath those arches and amid these peaceful scenes. It is a most beautiful and appropriate spot for one to lie whose life was a song, which seems to find a whispered echo even here in death.

The Tweed is near at hand, broadening here to a noble river, whose blue depths mirror sheltering banks of rare beauty.

They assisted at a Musical Concert given on board the steamer the proceeds of which amounting to 45 dollars, were to be given in aid of the Orphan Asylum of Liverpool. On the Sabbath, we enjoyed religious services, in the forenoon, the Episcopal service, and in the afternoon an excellent sermon from the Rev. Mr. McKinney, who was educated at the Theological School of the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon in London. The ship's company of a large steamer is made up of a great variety of characters, and from all, something may be learned. On arriving in Liverpool after a nine day's passage, we were cordially welcomed by some old friends, and among them A. Balfour. Esq., at the head of the house of Balfour, Williamson Sc Co , engaged in the Valparaiso trade, having a branch oftheir house in San Francisco. Mr. Balfour spends much of his time and fortune in promoting the welfare of seamen, the temperance cause, the Missionary enterprise and other philan- " ley, Dean of St Asaph, and Vicar of Wrexham, preached a Sermon in Wrexham Church, in aid of the Society for the propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts That day was also fixed upon for the commencement of the Sunday Evening Lectures, intended lo be established in the Church, and the late Bishop of Calcutta (Heber) then Kector of Hodnet, the Dean's Son-in-law, undertook to deliver the first Lecture. In the course of the Saturdsy previous, the Dean nnd his Son-in-law being together at the Vicarage, the former requested Heber to write " Something for them to sing in the Morning," and he retired for that purpose from the table, where the Dean and a few friends were sitting, to a distant part of the room. In a short time the Dean enquired What have you written?" Heber having "then composed the three first verses,- read them over, "There, there, that will do very well," said the Dean, " No, no, the sense is not complete," replied Heber, accordingly he added the fourth verse, and the Dean beintr inexorable to his repeated request of " Let me add another," " Oh let me add another," thus completed the hymn of which the annexed is a fac simile, and which has since become so celebrated; —it was sung the next morning in Wrexham Church for the first time. Space will only allow us to add that in tbe cemetery surrounding the old church,repose the remains of a man who died more than 150 years ago, but whose name is famous in the annals of America ; we refer lo Elihu Vale, Esq., after whom Vale College derives its name.

But in time other explorers reached did his work, he secured peace, but it was the peace of a nearly exterminated race. A few days since there came floating to us on the currents of commerce and literature pieces of the wreck of this island world. As we gathered them up and looked at them, we saw in them the former life once so busy there, we saw in them two lines which told us how closely allied that people were with those among whom we are now living. It is well known how easy it is to link a lost species of fauna or flora back to its native place by the discovery of a single bone, it may be, or a single stem of a tree. Yearssince.when the first Morning Star was wrecked, the swiftly passing currents caught some pieces of her timbers, such as were well marked, and bore them eastwardly some 300 miles and landed them on another island. They were gathered up by some natives, shown to a captain who knew the vessel well; as he examined them he declared them to be parts of the Morning Star, and said she was wrecked. It was so. She was lost, she is wrecked on another island, and here were the drifted timbers, telling the sad tale. So with the drifted pieces from, this lost people. They tell us not so much that the people are lost, but rather what close relationship they held with the nowliving people about us. Here is a fragment. That early people had for a name as given by foreigners, Chammoros, it seems to have been a tribal appellative. But I think it meant rather the priestly class. For here in the Ponape dialect, Jamero, very closely allied in its root-parts to the Chammoros alone, means priest. We cannot doubt but that once they were closely allied. But here is another fragment. Early writers speaking ot the priests of the Ladrones, mention the Rhy May bread fruit. But the May is only the name for this fruit all through Micronesia; the Ponape, Mai, Mortlock Mai, Russian Mwos, Ebon Me. A half-caste youth from these islands crossed my path a few days since. There was nothing in his appearance to indicate that his home was there, and his language was mixed with the Spanish, yet now and then words were dropped that were native. His Maulik for instance, meaning good, was only the Ponape Me mau, the Ebon, Emon. His Nifin, meaning teeth, has the Ponape and Morllock roots for the same words, Ngi. But these are only a few of the fragments of the wreck upon that northern Archipelego; we wish we had more. We are sure there are more. We do not doubt, but that in some of the old convents of those islands there are stowed away treatises on the grammar of that dialect. It would be a joy to rifle these places for these treasures, it will be done in time. But till then we must be content with the little that floats to us. We mourn the loss of that people. From all can learn we think it must have been the finest in all this island world. There are ruins there that tell us this ; but the race is gone, those northern " cousins have passed away. Only 350 years, and they are not. Is this prophetic of the races now living in Micronesia ? That in the sweep of another circle of 350 years less or more, the races now living and for whom we are now toiling are to be wiped out! Not certainly if a pure and simple Christianity and civilization can save them. E.T. Doane. " �JULY, ISBO. SAILORS' APVaRTISBSSBWTS. Places of Worship. 5 THE FRIEND, HOME! CONFECTIONERY.

Advertiser of the 26th ult., that the Y. M. C. A. has appointed a committee to prepare and circulate for signatures among the owners, managers, and agents of the various sugar and rice plantations, petitions to be presented to the King urging the continuance of the present policy of prohibitive legislation against liquor and opium. This is a good move on the part of the Association, and we hope it will meet with success. We are glad to hear that Mr. Henry Waterhouse has been appointed as one of the new members of the Hawaiian Board. He is the right man in the right place. * We commend the action of the Legislature in refusing to grant a subsidy to the proposed Chinese line of steamers. * • 56 AsYCMochoiearutnnH'gf onolulu. At a meeting of the Library and Reading Room Association, held at their hall the sth ult., the entertainment committee informed the Society that arrangements had been perfected whereby they would be able to give at least one entertainment per month at the rooms, of either lectures, readings, or addresses, with music, etc. Several gentlemen have signified their willingness to assist the Society in this matter. It is the intention and purpose of the committee to keep up the interest in our Society, and to furnish monthly entertainments at their rooms, where the public can come and enjoy a pleasant evening without charge. The Hall and Library committee reported that since the fair, they had bought here in town one hundred dollars worth of new and valuable books, which were nearly all ready to put on the shelves. By the steamer of June 7th they had ordered one hundred dollars worth of books, and would order fifty dollars worth by each succeeding steamer, until further instructions from the Board of Control. During the past month a Young Men's Christian Association has been started among the native members of Kaumakapili Church. A full list of officers have been chosen to serve for one year. The association will hold meetings once a month, and a prayer meeting every Sunday evening before church. The same constitution and by-laws of the English Y. M. C.
