RAMBLES INTHE OLD WORLD-No. 51 PAOa X M V THE FRIEND. 25 HAI.I.K ON THE BAALE. I am going to give myself the pleasure of sending you a few words In reference to this pleasant University town where I have been spending a delightful winter of study, trusting that they will not be wholly without Interest for you. The name of the town is almost always given with that of the river which here wlndevand ourves picturesquely through the low-lying country which characterizes this part of Germany. The region is a well-known one In Prussia ; not very far away is the Saxon Iwnndary and Leipzig; to the north Is Madgeburg ; only a few hours distant by train Is Berlin, while to the south Is the beautiful region of Thuringla. The town Is many centuries old, and still retains much of Its ancient appearance,though modernizing Influences are now busily nt work here. There was very early a settlement of Servian slaves here. But these disappeared before the advancing armies of Charlemange, and we And the name Halle first historically cited in 806 of our era. Tn the middle ages-the town was a centre of great commercial activity. Here were built great churches and convent*.and a huge castle dominating the city. The citizens were brave and freedom-loving, and contended valiantly for their rights against the tyrannical rule of Emperor* and Bishops, and took an active part in all the political disturbances of successive centuries. Now, after so much unrest and commotion, a better day of peace has dawned upon the ancient town. Here is an excellent university with hundreds of students, very many important philanthropic institutions, foremost among which stands the world-famed Orphan Asylum, founded by Hermann August Franke, of which I have in a previous letter, written you ; and here, too, are many flourishing industries and manufactures. During this summer Halle will be the centre of attraction for all this region or country, because of the Industrial exposition which Is to be opened in the spring, and to which contributions will be sent from this portion of Germany. The buildings to contain the same are now in proosss of erection, and present already a fine and imposing appearance. Any one arriving in Halle cannot, I think, fail to be imvenerableneu of the pressed by the which all the Innovations of later mes seem powerless wholly to destroy. Fragments of the old wall encircling the ancient mediaeval town still may be seen, set in the midst of new buildings, as a prop and support—tattflful and true to the last. The new town is spreading in all directions away from the former II raits, and charming promenades bordered with trees have sprung up on the site pf the old fortiflca- Blace, " " �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 26 tions and ramparts. The old town is a luhvrinth of crowded, narrow streets, filled with busy life, bordered l>y old-fashioned houses. The MarketPlace "is one of the quaintest and most interesting I have seen in Europe. This "great, irregular square with its monuments and encircling houses and churches, has been one of my especial delights this winter. I wish you might see It as it now appears covered with a pure, gleaming mantle of snow. The other morning, notwithstanding the bitter cold, I visited it when the Saturday market was at its height It formed a picture such as it would be difficult to even imagine in the tropics. The main portion of the Platz was filled with market booths, containing all manner of articles, which buyers from town and country could desire. Buyers and sellers were hurrying hither and thither, muffled up in great furs and wraps. Groups of peasants from neighboring villages and estates gathered to exchange greetings, and, notwithstanding the keen and frosty air, laughed and jested merrily in their rough, hearty way. in singular contrast to all this busy, active life at its base, rose above theheads of tbe peasants below, the stately bronze statue of Handel, ttie great musician and composer, who was born in Halle in 1885, and died in I lon in 1759. The artist has executed his work " " in most praiseworthy style. " The figure is very grand*and imposing, clad in the rich and elegant court dress in vogue in England in the lastCentury,and which seems especially well adapted for therather pompous bearing of the composer. At one side is a music stand, bearing the score of that most beautiful of all oratorios, The Messiah." The frost and sun has played all manner of tricks with the bronze. The heavy ?[iieer rills and ruffles have grown snowy white. No court hair-dresser could have adjusted his perfumed powder on the curledperruque in finer style than the winter has scattered " his sparklii)g,beautiful crystals. .It is high time for the performance to begin; the master stands there in full dress, the audience waits below. But the hand lies motionlessunder the snowy laces; the baton has'lost its magic life. Winter, and death, and bronze, have here rule. And yet not wholly—for one heart at least in the surging crowd below grows warm, and faith rises on triumphant wings, and from unseen choirs seem to convey to the listening ear the glorious music of the Hallelujah Chorus." Not very far away, down one of the winding streets is the house where Handel was born. The majority of people pass it without noticing the little tablet there placed which mentions this fact. But this would scarcely be the case with you. Facing the Handel monument is a very elaborate and splendidly executed monument to the memory of the soldiers of Halle, who fell in the Franco-Prussian war. It serves, at the same time, a practical purpose, being a fountain, surmounted by a German soldier in mediaeval costume. I like the Idea of the fountain. It seems as if the names of the fallen—those of the husbands, the lovers, the brothers, of these women who are busy here this morning in the old market place must speak a welcome in a certain mute way of their own, to them, as they come hither to draw water from those stone basins with their Gothic carvings. As near neighbor to the fountain is a massive and rather clumsily carved stone figure, called "Roland," one of the guardians of the city, a figure well known in Hansa cities. He has held his drawn sword pointing heavenwards for many generations. Above him rises a huge and yet .finely built tower, one of the ornaments of the city, where the deeptoned bells have their home, which, from time to time, fill the air with great waves of mellow sound.

Yearly a deputation from their number goes up to Berlin to present certain gifts, salt, eggs, etc., to the Emperor, an ancient custom. Only a few days ago this occurred. The company, dressed in their most characteristic attire, were received in ceremonious style by the Emperor, after which, at dinner, they served the Imperial family at table,present ing the simple gifts which they had brought with them, on golden plates. Tlie University forms the central point of the life here. There are over thirteen hundred students, and here they form a more important feature than in a large city like Berlin. Much of the old German student life has disappeared with these later days, which seem to be antagonistic to the variety and individuality of more primitive times, and are removing many picturesque features. But there is still much that is interesting to a stranger. Now and then one sees the handsome velvet coats with their elaborate trimmings, which were formally so popular with the students; but these are comparatively rare. But everywhere are to be seen the caps—of all colors; blue, violet, crimson, etc.,—of the various societies and associations, which play such an Important role In German universities. On festival occasions, when the CorpsStudenten" and Verblndungen appear in full gala costume, with their banners and standards, the sight is a very beautiful " "" and brilliant one. The ancient university of Wittenberg, where Luther lectured, waa united long since with that of Halle, which has itself a considerable historic record. The "Theological Faculty" has always attracted a large number of students here, and this department of the university has certainly, because of this man who lived and labored here for more than half a century. As far back as 1831, the well-known author of Researches in Palestine," Dr. Edward Robinson, said ■■ To the American Christian who travels on this part of the Continent, Tholuck is undoubtedly the most interesting person whose acquaintance he will make. He possesses a greater personal influence and reputation than any other Theologian in Germany." What was true then of Dr. Tholuck, lovingly styled the Student Professor," was true for many "long years which followed. In Christian homes, all over the world, the name of this German Professor and earnest Christian, and great souled, loving man, has become dear and familiar. Ithas been, this winter, my .privilege, one which, as you can readily understand, I cherish and prize most highly, to live In the home where, for so many years, this brave Christian soldier, this friend and helper ofyoung men, passed the larger part of his active earthly life; where he gathered about him a remarkable circle of friendsand pupils; and where the summons came to him to enter into the glory of the higher Life of Heaven. The widow of Professor Tholuck is still living, and to her kind courtesy and hospitality, I am indebted for one of the mostcharming experiences of my German life. I cannot resist the temptation here to mention her name in connection with that of the famous Professor and Theologian, by whose side she stood for so many years, winning all hearts by the rare sweetness and beauty of her life. May she long live to carry forward the good work to which she has so nobly devoted her life and her property. One of memory of the the finest monuments isto the the "Home" for Student Professor" " " �1 II X Theological Student* which she has found- ed and which bears the name of the ''THOLUCKSCHEN STIFT." The whole story of Professor Tholuck's life Is full of grand inspiration. Tt was a life of struggle and of victory. He had to contend, from earliest childhood, with difficulties which would have been almost insuperable for any one who was not filled with a dauntless courage. His Intellectual development was precocious nnd amazing. As a linguist, he was rarely gifted, and was "at home" in an incredible number of languages. But his great power lay in his passionate devotion to the Divine Master and His Cause, and In his boundless love for the students whom, he gathered about him. Almost as a youth he began to contend with the proud Rationalism which ruled so widely in Germany in the early part of this century, and his enemies were forced to yield. His lecture-room was thronged by hundreds and hundreds of students fascinated and conquered by the the marvelous power, the subtle convincing eloquence of the man. From all parts of Europe and Germany, from Englnnd, and largely from America, came yoUng men attracted by the fame of this devoted Professor, to learn of him. For fifty years, ttere in Halle, he fought the good fight, and witnessed, as a loving disciple, and anointed and inspired apostle for Jesus Christ, the Friend and Saviour of Humanity. Here still remain the rooms where he lived and spoke and thought and wrote and prayed. Here are the thousands of books him in the long years of lie gathered about his professional activity. The garden, the covered, vine-draped walk, where he caught ever fresh poetic inspiration, and where he spoke words which still live in so many mute reminders of him hearts, as who loved them so well. In the quiet cemetery near the town are the cross and the name and the grave, and in that fuller and more glorious life of the Redeemed, the immortal spirit has entered into the fullness of joy. THE BATTLE-FIELD OF LUTZEN -OUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS. It required some little energy and determined resolve, strengthened and accented by the thought of the brief time still remaining to me in Germany, to decide to leave my warm, cozy study and books for an excursion into the country in the middle of January, into a world white and cold with snow and winter, but my heroism in received more than its meed or reward the way of agreeable experiences. I found in the Cathedral of Naumburg, recently restored, a host of beautiful miracles and wonders in stone carving, which seemed almost to rival the exquisite traceries of the frost on the ancient windows. The choir with its rows of slender columns, grace, anil risiriß in marvelous symmetrical bursting on reaching the capitals, suddenly into a summer leafage of rarest beauty, delighted me beyond words. Not far away from Naunibiirgis Sehul Pforta, perhaps the most famous classical school in all Germany. One could, in visiting this, almost wish that he might grow young once more, in order to have the advantages which are offered here to the young studeut. Here was formerly a Cisterian convent, but since the times of the Reformation there has been here a school for boys, in the undent building where the monks once lived and prayed. The fine old church is still standing, and forms a noble centre to the Urge group of buildings which nestle here at the base of the hills. Through the kind courtesy of several of the Professors, I had a rare opportunity of seeing the method of instruction and study in this most admirable institution, where something like two hundred young men and boys receive such an excellent preparatory education.

The well there is down thirteen feet, but work is stopped at present, aa Mr. Pierce is waiting for n new engine. This well is being bored at the joint expense of Mr. Wing, Mr. Fisher, Mr. S. K. Kaai, Mr. J. I. Dowsett, aud Mr. 8. D. Burrows, and the supply when obtained is to be available for the properties of all these gentlemen lying makai of Mr. Wing's. Before leaving Mr. Marques' neighborhood, Mr. Pierce put down a fifty-feet well for that gentleman near his house. Twelve feet of water was secured, which was a satisfactory result, the water being only required for pumping purposes. Artesian Well at Meek Ranch.– Just as our paper was going to press, Mr. Pierce, the well-borer, announces the joyful intelligence that Mr. Campbell has a fine flowing well, only 80 feet deep and 750 feet above sea-level. This is cheering news to all interested in this new feature of Hawaiian enterprise. Letter of President Garfield to his Classmates in the Hawaiian Islands. The following correspondence of the President of the United States of Americawith his friends, one of whom (J. M. A.) whs with him during his course of study at Williams' College, is interesting as illustrating his kindly feelings towards Americans residing in these Islands. Makawao, December 22nd, 1880. General James A. Garfield.—Dear Sib : The undersigned, graduates of Williams' College, livUlg on tbe island of Maui, Hawaiian Islands, feel impelled to express their congratulation™ to you on your election to the office of President oft.l.c United States of America ; although some of our number formerly addressed you on the occasion of your nomination; for mingled with the high gratification we feel in the triumph of the party that represents rightooußiioßS aud national prosperity and progress, we feel a peculiar pleasure in seeing our Williams' College honored by the election of one of her sons to so high u position. From our rememberance of the influence of our venerated President Hopkins and of the other Williams' instructors we would have had peculiar confidence in a selection from the roll of our alumni for any position, even the most responsible and honorable. And we say with cordial sincerity that your former expressions of your views and principles on public matterstogether with all your public career, makes us augur well for the. future of the magnificent country whose government you are to lead ; and we hope that with your consideration of the vast interests of that nation, you will feel an interest iv this little country of the Hawaiian Islands, which was civilized and christianized by Americans, and which has so large a proportion of its population composed of people from the United States of America, conducting its business and commerce and exerting a paramount influence for good government and for the progress of Christianity, that it feels as keen an interest in American affairs as though it were one of the United States; nestling like a tropical bird under the wing of the American eagle. Besides us who subscribe our names from this district on Maui are many other graduates of Williams College and of other American institutions, on the other islands, who would gladly unite with us in these congratulations. We are sincerely and respectfully yours, James M. Alexander, Amasa Pratt, Thomas H. Bouse, Geo. E. Bkckwith, Samuel T. Alexander. Abp.am Pratt, W. C. BIXBY. Mentor, Obio, February 14th, 1881 Dear Friend*: Your letter of the 24th December came duly to hand. Though many duties press upon me, I cannot deny myself the pleasure of turning aside for a moment to thank you for the happiness which yourkind words have given me. Of the many congratulations which come to me, none are dearer or more cheering than those I re ceive from the graduates of Old Williams. With kindest regards to each and every one of you, I remain, very truly yours, J. A. Gabtuld. To Messrs. J. M. Alexander, Amass Pratt, Thomas H. Rouse, Geo. E. Beckwith, Samuel J. Alexander, Abram Pratt, W. C. Bixby. of Makawao, Hawaiian Islands. —UazeUt, Jfurcfc 30(11. " " New Church on Hawaii. H. M. Whitney, thus writes, under date — of March loth: "The new Pahala Church, located on the Hawaiian Agricultural Company's Plantation, in Kan, Hawaii, was dedicated on Sunday, Feb. 27. Key. J. Kauhane, conducted the service in Hawaiian, the audience being composed of foreigners, as well as natives. The church edifice is small, but very neat, built with gothic windows and stained glass, and has a seating capacity for about two hundred persons. It is intended for the joint use of foreigners and Hawaiians, residing in the neighborhood. The entire cost will not exceed $1600; and yet the natives say it is the prettiest and most attractive house of worship on Hawaii. The foreign population, resident within three or four miles of this church, numbers forty or fifty,while the Chinese and Hawaiians will swell the number to two or three hundred." �111 X lItIK V I> MARINE JOURNAL.

CHRISTIAN It affords us great satisfaction to announce, that there arrived by the Septima, about 40 additional Christian Chinese, accompanied by one who has been employed for three years, by the American Missionary, Rev. Dr. Happer, in mission work. Dr. H. thus commends him, under date of Canton, December 6th: "There is a young man goes out by the Septima, Mr. Tsang Kwai, who has been a Colporteur, for me, for three years. He Is a useful man. Has a good knowledge of the Bible, and a good character. I would suggest him as one who might be employed In Christian work. His wife is a Christian, with a good education and could teach a girl's school, or a class of women, and his sister has also been through a boarding school for girls (among the Germans." We are most happy to learn that P. C. Jones, Esq., has engaged these laborers for theKau District, and made generous provision for Mr. Tsang Kwai and family to act as their pastor. The Hawaiian Board contributes $100 per annum for his support. The importance of having these Christian settlementsot Chinese at Kohala, Makawao, and Kau, cannot be overestimated. It is the] Christian Chinese far more than the Heathen Chinee," who bring their families, wives and children.

" The wickedest city in the world," needs revival and reform ; and we ho_pe that in future it will send us only good Moody men. 188 1. Evangelistic Movement in Germany. During our sojourn in Berlin, Germany, last summer, it was our privilege to meet tbe Rev. Mr. Davies, who has been acting as Agent of the British and Foreign Bible society for many years. He is married to a lady from one of the best families in the Empire. Tbe following report of his late address in London,we find in the New York Observer, and we feel confident many of our renders will peruse it with interest: '• Rev. Mr. Davies said that 11,000,000 copies of the Holy Scriptures have been circulated in Germany and Switzerland, and spoke as follows of the spiritual change that has taken place : " Twenty-five years sgo, when I was a student at the University of Berlin, one of its most distinguished and aged pastors told me that when he came to tbe city there were not more than three ministers who believed in the Divinity of Christ, or preached Paul's doctrine of justification by faith ; and now he said the difficulty would be to find three who did not at least profess to. Another clergyman, who A STEP TOWARDS POSTAL OR CHAOS. UNION It appears that the Postmaster General of U. 8., at Washington, has addressed a letter to the Hawaiian Government intimating that the present existing treaty between this Goverment and the U. H. Government must cease at the end of six months. Hence uuless we are brought into harmony with other civilized nations, we are thrown back upon the old chaotic state ofPostal affairs. Wo should suppose there could be hut one way for the Government to proceed, and that forthwith we must come into the International Postal treaty. But we hear the cry, this Island Government cannot afford the expense, better wait and count the cost! Wiry even now this Government is subsidizing the steamers at the rate of $1000 per mouth. Now this subsidy will be iitali/.i'il. We rejoice to learn that the Minister of the Interior has appointed Dr. Hyde, Mr. Atkinson, und Mr. Thomns (i. Thrum, a committee to s udy up the subject.
