It appears that he had attained the advanced age of four score and seven years. Our associate, who has labored faithfully as Pastor of said church, has resigned his position on account of impaired health. We trust the bracing atmosphere of a cooler clime, and the agreeable associations of a Pastorship in the home-land may enable him to attain an age equal to that of his father. A Curiosity.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-NO.53 EASTWARD AND HOMEWARD, NO. 2. FROM ROME TO ATHENS Should you ever meet with a man who baa no interest for history, send him to Rome, and he would need to be there but a short space of time to feel the awakening of a new sense, >>r at least to be made painfully aware of bis great deficiency. It Is a city which brings some special message for every one out of the great and instructive school of the Present, which we call the Past. Its ruins,its fallen columns, are its most eloquent representatives. Its silence has more Impressiveness than the wisest of spoken words. We speak of Rome's past greatness; there is, to my thinking, a present greatness here, a greatness whleh will last as long as the seven hills, on which it was built. Either go to Rome for a short time, or for a life-time. Iv the former case you will not be there long enough to go Into detail, and hence will take away with you only certain Kreat and impressive outlines, while In the latter you may have time to follow out leisurely and calmly the minor details of historical research. To leave the city at any intermediate point between these, would, I think, be both irritating and unsatisfactory. Rome is many-sided. There is room here for a world of seekers. For my own part I would say that, f«r the time I was there, the monuments of its classic, Imperial, and early christian days eclipsed all else. Anything of later dat«, grand and suggestive though it might be at any other time, at this seemed an intrusion, and almost a wearisomeness. The zeal with which the excavations and researches at Rome have been prosecuted both by Italians and foreigners, has done' much to restore to us a portion of that, old Roman world, which had, as it were been lost for centuries. Ttje old Forum has been laid open to the inquisitive gaze of this later day, and one glance at these arches and columns, and shattered temples and shrines is wortii months of book-study. I found the fascination of the place irresistible, and kept coming back again and again to it, and each successive visit left me longing for another. You are permitted to wander here without guide or guardian, a privilege which is as delightful as it ]s rare, in these regions haunted by tourists and kept largely under lock and key. Leaving the Imposing, superb columns of the Temple of Saturn, one passes under the triumphal arch of Septimus Severus, and then on to the Comltium, where the assemblies of the Roman people were held; then on to the Via Sacra, with Its monuments, i �42 THE FRIEND, JUNK, 1881. past the huge arches of the Basilica of Constantino, out through the arch of Titus, till you face the stupendous pile of the Coliseum. Above you on your right Is the Palatine, with the endless ruins of the Palaces of the (knars. Behind you rises the Capitol; further, on the JSsqulllne, the ruins of the baths of Titus, where the "Oolden House" of Nero once stood. There is a haughtiness,an imperial pride in this ruined world which is marvelous. It Is as If by some singular metamorphosis* the spirit of heathen Home had been transmuted here to stone. These are captives you have before you; captives wounded and scarred, maimed, ana loaded with chains; but with hearts unsubdued, and pride unbrokenroyal slaves I The moonlight, which I missed hi Venice, favored me here in Rome, and splendidly impressive as I found these classic reminders in the Sprint? sunshine, the effect which they produced in the silver radiance of the moonlight was infinitely finer. This was especially true of the Coliseum. It was in the healthy season, so that there was no fear of the malaria, and the robbers and ruffians who used to haunt thesepreolnets have disappeared, with the advent of bettor police regulations In Rome; so there was nothing todlsturb tin- most sentimental visitor. The ruin of this immense Amphitheatre, lying partly in dusky shadow, and partly in the pure white light of the moon, is one which those who are permitted to enjoy It will not soon forget. The light and darkness seem to symbolize the history of these walls, which have heard the dying hymns of martyred Christians and the brutal cries and shouts'of a reigning Paganism. The moon rises higher anil higher towards the zenith, till the great gulf of the arena is filled with light. The shadows have fled—Whither ? There is constantly this interlacement here; your daily rambles offer you Christian and Pagan Remains, at the same time. So It was with that delightful day's excursion when we went out to visit the Catacombs of St. Callsto, and the Applan Way. Before reaching the arch of Drusus, near the gate of St. Sebastian, Just under the ancient walls of Rome, there were the graves of the Sciplos to visit, and the Columbaria, or vaults where in rows of niches, the funeral urns, with the ashes of the dead were placed. From here the way leads directly to the Catacombs; of these most Interesting reminders of the early Christian days there are several excavated and thrown open to the public. But those of St. Callsto are most generally visited, as offering most points of interest. You leave the warm, balmy air of the Carapagnla and are burled away in a moment with the memories of that long-ago time, which to the Christian Church of to-day is surrounded by a beautiful and sacred halo. The guide—and here one is very welcome and necessary—shows you long, winding in whose walls are the niches • passages, wheie the Christian dead were placed, the chapels where the living gathered to sing and pray and hear the words of the New Faith, and pauses now and then before some inscription or half obliteratedfrescoe which was placed or painted here by living hands. There are here, often repeated, the various symbols which are now familiar to every one; symbols expressive of faith, hope, a belief in a glorious Immortality. Most touching of all is the painting of the "Good Shepherd," bearing the lamb upon his loving, patient shoulders. The colors have grown faint and dim: the torches flare fitfully, and a certain mist has gathered in your eyes, but the eternal beauty of this Divine love, here roughly represented, fills and floods the heart with a boundless Joy. The 'Applan Way" one should not fall to see in coming to Rome. Here heathen Rome honored its dead with splendid tombs and stately monuments, and here are. for miles, to be seen most striking ruins. From this point, near the great Mausoleum of Can-ilia Metella, there la a splendid view of the country about Rome, and the wonderful arches of ancient aequeducts, which give a singular beauty to this most charming landscape. In the distance are the Alban and Sabine hills, at this season crested with snow. To serve us a fitting crown for this rare historic day, In coming home, we paused for a while to wonder at the ruins of the Baths of Caracalln." Then there are the Pantheon, Hint wonderfully preserved heathen temple, the tomb of Hadrian, now called the Castle of St. Angelo, and countless relics besides. Here there are several "Romes," for you to conquer; the Rome of the Middle Ages, of the Popes, of the Artists, and, If you have time, Modern Rome, a most interesting study. Crossing the" yellow Tiber," you pass Into that world of memories which St. Peter's ami the Vatican represent. But on these now we have scarcely time to " enter. NAI'LKS AND VICINITY, Present a vision of beauty one can scarceTake your place in the ly exaggerate. middle of the Bay, facing the city, and you will never grow weary of gazing. There is this great, rambling city, stretching for miles along the shore, and on to the hills, dominated by the fortress of St. Elmo. Beyond, the towering cone of Vesuvius, with its eternal altar-fire, to right and left the splendid curves of the coast, and on either side the lovely Islands of Capri and Isohia. Then add to these outlines the exquisite tints of the coloring, the etherializing effects of this southern atmosphere, the wonderful hues which light and glorify the waters here, and you have a picture which is delicious in its reality, but which is not to be framed in words. But you need to see Naples itself from a distance; too near acquaintance dispels much of the illusion. Tlie poverty which exists here among the people is most distressing, and form! sad snadows in the otherwise so beautiful picture. Notwithstanding this, in the crowded, noisy city there is much to Interest and amuse the visitor. Every one seems to prefer the streets to his home, and the thoroughfares are, from early morning till late at night, full of a laughing, chattering, shouting crowd. A noisier city I never entered. The Museum oi Naples is a treasure house of antiquities. Here one sees most of the interesting articles which have been found from time to time in course of the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum, beside countless other reminders of old Roman and Grecian tlays. The principal point to visit near Naples is, of course, Pompeii, where one sees the ruins of that provincial Roman town, which, eighteen hundred years ago, was destroyed during an eruption of Vesuvius. The excavations, which have now been carried on here for a number of years, have laid bare about one-third of the city; probably, however, the most important part. Every child knows the history of Pompeii, which is so full of pathetic and tragic interest. Here one Is taken vividly back to classic days when he visits the homes of those unhappy families who here perished beneath that fiery rain of ashes from the near volcano; sees the theatres, the temples, the market-places where the people of this gay and careless city were wont to gather. A charming excursion may be made by steamer about the bay of Naples to many points of Interest You may thus see Castilamane, so beautifully situated above the blue waters of the bay, then Sorrento, with its orange groves, and further on, the Island of Capri. Here, those who have time, stop to see the famous Blue Grot- " toe." This Is a great cave In the rocky coast. There is only a little opening from the seaward side. Your boatmen, skilled and trained men, watch for the right moment when the tossing billows rest for an Instant, and then, all crouching down in i he bottom of the boat, you dart under this rocky portal into a lofty cave, lighted by the most wonderfully beautiful blue light, an effect produced by the peculiar formation of the opening in the rocks and the reflection from these crystally clear waters. One gloriously sunny day I spent with friends in classic rambles to Pozzuoll, the ancient Putioll which Paul, the Apostle, once visited; then to the celebrated "Luke Avernus," of the ancients, near which was supposed to be the entrance to the underworld. Here Is now a peaceful and serene lake, in a setting of exquisite verdure. Passing ruins of temples and villas, the roatl takes us through the "Elyslan Fields" to Cape Misenum, which those who are acquainted with Virgil's .'Kin-id will recall. Since leaving Naples, I hear there has been a new eruption of Vesuvius, which has again reminded "the people of the plain that it would be wise to build else- " where than so near its fiery dominion. FROM SEA TO SKA. It requires a little firmness and resolution to keep from stepping on to the steamer which would take you from Naples to Sicily in so short a space of time, and so easily. One is constantly meeting people who have much to say of the charm of a visit there. But this is a part of theworld wher* firmness in keeping to one's plan of travel Is necessary, as there are numberless ways where your feet would willingly go, anti which offer a thousand attractions. But my way was Eastward ! This meant for me a railway journey of a day and a half, from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, from Naples to Brindisl. The first afternoon's Journey is as far as Foggia. In the distance as the evening begins to fall one can see the distant mountain summits of the Abruzzis, onoe the home and haunt of famous Italian Bandits, the terror of the neighborhood, and of travellers in the old days, but who have since disappeared. From mountains, on the following day, we pass to the long, level plains of the Italian shore, skirting the Adriatio. The road lies through Barletta, not far away from which is the famous historic battle-field of Cannae, where, in the year 216 B. C. Hannibal and his army won such a bloody victory over the Romans. From here on to Brlndisi, is a continual welcome from the South and the Summer For miles and miles the train bears us on through endless plains of olive trees, sweeping off to the low-lying hills on the west, and to the deep blue Adriatic on the east. Every now and then white towns and villages flash out of a setting of lemon and orange trees. It is a picture in striking contrast to the white world of snow and ice I left so short a time ago, north of the Alps. I feel like one who, having wandered far from home, finds once more the path which leads thither. Now it is a tuft of palm branches, now a spray of passion-vine, or the perfume of southern fruits, which guide the willing feet towards the wished-for goal. At Brindisl, where the poet Virgil died, on his return from Greece, the steamer is waiting to take us across the Adriatic. THE IONIAN ISLANDS. It is a run of about twelve hours from Brindisl to the Island of Corfu, where I stepped first on Greek soil.

In our April Issue we alluded to this lady In those years when she educated her son In Ohio. The following notice of her present surroundings, will be read with interest. It Is copied from the Springfield Union. •' The apartment occupied by the President's mother is a large square room on the south side of the executive mansion, about mid-way in the wide ball that serves as a sort of sitting and reception room for the President's family. Its three windows overlook the flower garden and lawn in the rear. The room Is a sunny one, made more cheerful by a bright Axminster carpet and window draping to correspond, and ft wood fire in a wide, old-fashioned grate with glittering brass andirons and fenders. There are appropriate mantel ornaments and little womanly trinkets scattered about, and two or three handsome Turkish rugs before the bed and sofas. Beside the rocker, where the dear old lady sits with her knitting, or muses upon the checkered career of " son James," Is a beautiful white bearskin, with fur a finger long, upon which rests her feet. To have her home in the White House, the most honored figure within its walls, Is certainly a great change from other days within her remembrance, when, left a widow in straitened circumstances, she washed, and cooked, and toiled and saved that her children might be educated. Her stalwart son, who, over thirty years ago,grew so tall that she could walk under his outstretched arm without stooping, still defers to her slightest wish with the same obedience that he rendered when a boy. Her's has always been the post of honor at the General's table ; no matter what distinguished guests are present, she Is invaribly served first. A sweeter picture has seldom been seen than this little white-haired matron made, whose head barely reaches her son's elbow, when she came proudly forwarv with tears In her eyes, to be the first to receive him as he entered the executive mansion, President of the United States, escorted thither by the grandest civil and military display that Washington has ever witnessed."

It was a curiously significant scene, and withal a pleasant one, witnessed in the Young Men's Christian Association rooms, in this city last Monday evening. It was a banquet which a number of gentlemanly "Chinese laborers" took it into their heads to give certain of their American Christian friends who bad evinced so sincere an interest in their welfare, in the Sunday and evening day-school. The sous of the Flowery Kingdom were in full bloom, quiet, radiant, und attentive. Their invited guests must have numbered about two hundred. The tables were beautifully adorned and sumptuously louded. Speeches were made by Secretary Powell, Mr. Franklin Fisk, and Ah Sing Get. The latter, in spite of his somewhat broken English, spoke with simple eloquence of the doctrines of Confucius as compared and contrasted with the teachings of Christ. His indignant, yet altogether dignified scorn of the treatment shown Chinamen by the hoodlum element in America, was quite worthy of the nation he comes from and the Christian faith he has accepted. The entertainment was enlivened by the singing of a number of hymns by two of the young men. The "Moody & Sankey songs lost nothing by tin slight Chinese-brogue with which they were so earnestly rendered. The happiest man was the Chinaman holding his iltle son of perhaps a year's age. The same evening the Chinamen of Cincinnati a similar banquet to their American ?;ave riends there. It is pretty safe to predict that the American Nation, with its big "N," will live long enough to grow ashamed of its alarm at a few " Chinese laborers," and its obsequiousness to the hoodlum element in politics.—Advance.

Vernon Church, Boston, by about fifty Chinamen, who are members of the Sunday-school connected with the Society. The class, which was formed by Miss Harriette Carter two years ago, has grown until the average attendance Is fifty, representing all the walks of life in which Chinese are found, merchants, students, laundrymen, etc., and it has become one of the permanent institutions of tha> city. The reception was the sole work of tlie scholars. Tickets were issued, inviting ladies and gentlemen connected with the church and the City Missionary Society and the feliow-countrymen of the scholars, and over 300 were present. The sociability of the evening was interspersed with literary exercises and music. Sing gave an address of welcome, and Moy Lett Fon, a young man who is preparing for the work of a Missionary, also made an address. These addresses were replied to by Rev. D. W. Waldron, City Missionary, and Deacon Torry, of the Berkeley Street Congregational Church. Ah Dong and Ah Roy sang There is a Happy Laud." Five of 'the scholars performed a selection of Chinese music on Chinese instruments, creating a peculiar din that was much enjoyed. After a supper provided by the scholars, the reception was closed by devotional exercises.—Boston Paper. " CHINESE ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE.

" " �THE FRIEND, JUNE, Marriage of Dr. Bishop and Miss Bird.—A marriage took place on Tuesday, in St. Lawrence's Church, Barton-on-theHeath, Warwickshire, between Jno. Bishop, M. D., F. R. C. S. E., of Edinburgh, and Isabella Lucy, the only surviving daughter of the late Rev. Edward Bird, rector of Wyton, Huntingdonshire. The ceremony was performed by the Hon. and Rev. Walter R. Verney, assisted by the Rev. A Nettleship, rector of the parish. The bride was given away by her cousin, Major R. W. Bird of Barton House. Owing to the bride being in deep mourning the wedding was strictly private, and only a few near relatives were present. The event excited great interest from the fact of the bride being the distinguished traveller and writer, whose interesting works on Japan, the Rocky Mountains, and the Sandwich Islands have given so much gratification. 45 188 1.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE POLYNESIAN RACE, ITS ORIGIN AND MIGRATIONS, AND THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE TO THE TIMES OF KAMEHAMEHA I. BY ABRAHAM FORNANDER, CIRCUIT JUDGE OF THE ISLAND OF MAUI, H. I. K?nOHT COMPANION OF THE BOYAL ORDER OF RALALA.CA. VOL. 11. LONDON: TRUBNER &CO, LUDGATE HILL 1880. [Allrights reserved.] Mr. Fornander has so arranged his book that there is no learning its contents without a thorough reading of its pages. A good Table of Contents is a good key to unlock the treasures of a book, and when one has ascertained what those contents are, a good "Index" will serve to recall those contents to mind. Now, Mr. Fornander has neither Table of Contents," or "Index." The volume before us, however ,contains a great amount of linguistical, historical, and traditionary lore, relating to the Polynesian Race. One topic discussed has never yet been fully presented to the English-reading public. We refer to Polynesian navigation, during those long ages before the discoveries of European navigators in the Pacific. There can be no doubt there was intercourse among the islanders on the various groups in this great ocean. The question arises, how could they steer their courses from the Hawaiian Islands to Tahiti, to Samoa, to New Zealand, to Marquesas? Tradition says they steered by the stars." Mr. Fornander has full confidence in this theory, for he remarks, on page 19: " " " ' " "And the criticism which rests content with the apparent difficulty of navigating the Pacific Ocean in without compass, and what may now be email considered competent nautical knowledge, has simply failed to Inform itself of the conditions and circumstances under which thosevoyagea were undertaken, as well as of the then Intellectual status of those who perthem. Certslnly, the difficulty of the Polyneeiformed sns navigating the Pacific In their large canoes of thst period, whether single or double, was no greater than that of the Norsemen navigating the Atlantic to Iceland, Greenland, and Vlnland. or penetrating up the Mediterranean In their •aneckaa" and " drakee ;" nor waa the any greater than that nautical knowledge of the latterIcelandic folklore which of the former. We believe the telle of explolta and voyages to far distant landa i why folklore which tells of then discredit the Polynesian voyages between the different groups, undertaken pursafely going both and In posely, and accomplished returning?" This is a subject of much interest, but our limits will not allow its further discussion, just now. We shall refer to it, and other topics, at a future time. We only add, the book is issued in good style, by Trubner A Co., of London, a firm which has dono so much to promote Oriental studies. In one of Mr. Moody's Bible readings in San Francisco, he made this pithy and weighty remark, "When I pray, I talk with God, but when I read the Bible, G >d talks with me."

Temperance Discussion.—During the past month, one Gospel Temperance meeting has been held at the Bethel, conducted by President Jones, and another Temperance meeting at the Lyceum. Both were admirably conducted, and well attended, at the Lyceum addresses were made by 8. Dole, Esq., Rev. W. Frear, and the Chairman, Judge McCully. In addition, there wus a most excellent recitation by Mr. Kinney. The singing was also appropriate and good. The Committeesdeserve much' commendation for the good style in which their public meetings are conducted. We cannot see how they could be improved. The Temperance question is gradually pushing itself to the front. It cannot bo thrust aside. Men, women and children must take their stand, and alas, that any should be found to .countenance the intemperate in their downward career. The miserable and demoralizing drinking habits of society cannot be defended; then why should they not be immediately abandoned ? The Bible which sturdy John Brown read in prison he presented to J. F. Blessing, of Charlestown, Va. In it he wrote: There is no commentary in the world so good in order to a right understanding of this blessed book as an honest, childlike and teachable spirit."

We do not recall a time when the future seemed more propitious for successful labor among the foreign portion of the community, in this part of the Master's vineyard, than now. In the work laid out by the various Committees of our Assoclatlottw»nd the interest apparent therein, judging from the reports presented at the last meeting, as also by the earnest effort of the Temperance Committee in their special field, it is very gratifying to find willing laborers entering the field that at times seems to be already ripe for the harvest. There Is a prospect during the coming summer of our having material assistance in this direction from new helpers from foreign fields, where God's blessing on the labors of his servants have been specially marked, and we trust that some droppings may fall on us. We would therefore encourage all, whether members of this Association or not, to sow beside all waters," for we "can not tell which shall prosper, this or that." The question has come up simultaneously in our various Societies and papers as to what shall be done for our young men, to furnish them with healthy, innocent entertainment, or recreation, after business hours, and counteract, as far as possible, the evils of saloons and other places of temptation and ruin. And we are glad to see the matter is having the careful consideration of many minds. This " is one of the aims of the Y. M. C- A. in the establishment of its Reading Kooni, and providing occasional entertainment*. This was the especial avowed fluid the Honolulu Library anil Reading Room aimed to occupy, and this also is one of the features of the Temperance movement lately organized. It is to be hoped that in the consideration of tile matter, the different Societies will endeavor to fill the gap which they see exists, and so add to, or modify, present rules, as shall draw young men from places of temptation. This forms the subject of special Committee consideration, both with the Library and the Y. M. C. Associations, to report thereon at their next meetings. The sad accident that occurred on the 20th ult., in the death of a young native by the fall of the recently erected school-room of Bt. Louis College, while preparing and decorating the same for a Firemen's Social, for that evening, lias claimed the attention of the public mind ever since. The community feel they have cause for thankfulness that it did not occur six or ten houis later, to have thrown a pall of sorrow oler the city that years would not efface. Truly, we have been preserved as by a miracle, for at no other time of the day, when more people were within, or during its school session, could It have fallen with less injury and death. The Entertainment Committee of the Temperance movement show commendable zeal in the variety and arrangement of the meetings, and from the very full attendance at each, so fur, doubtless We are find much encouragement. pleased to learn that steps have been taken to secure Mr. Moody's co-worker in this special branch of his labor, Mr. W. L. Hallenbeck, for a couple of months this summer, and hope our people will be prepared not only to appreciate, but co-operate with any measures introduced to alleviate the curse and evils of Intemperance. Although this Temperance work is not a part of the Y. M. C. A. directly, it nevertheless is the outgrowth of remarks made at one of the monthly meetings, followed by action taken thereon at one of the Sunday evening early meetings, and has the full sympathy and active work of many In our Association. 48 YMoeunnA'sgCchiartH , onolulu. prison without a t-ha|iel would be considered a disgrace in other Christian coun- tries, and it seems like a remarkable omission in our prison discipline here. We trust the attention of the proper authorities may be directed to this subject, and that this deficiency may be remedied. Prisoners have souls as well as others, and we know of no valid reason why the fact should not be recognized, and the proper facilities afforded for every effort to do them spiritual good. The Musical and Literary entertainment of the Y. M. C. A., last Thursday evening, May 26th, at the Lyceum, tlrew out a large gathering, that was no doubt gratifying to the lecturer, Prof. F. Swift, anil the talented pianist, Miss Carrie Castle, as also the quartette party, consisting of Mrs. Handford, Miss, and Messrs. W. L. and W. Jones, to all of which the audience gave wrapt attention and appreciative expression. The result must be satisfactory to the Association, in more tliun a pecuniary point of view, as from the able exposition of the literary power and ability of Lord Macaulay. illustrated by recitations from a few of his Essays, a new interest cannot fail to be awakened in the minds of many who were present. Exchanges.—We would acknowledge, since our last, the receipt of the following Y. M. C. A. publications:—Association News, of Philadelphia ; Weekly Bulletin, of Chicago ; Association Record, of Montreal; Monthly Bulletin, of (Springfield, 111.; Monthly Record, of the Harlem Branch, New York, and Association Record, Germuntown, Phila. In nearly all of the above, which give evidence of able conduction and earnest work, we find various methods of entertainment discussed, whether Social Receptions, Lectures, Gymnastic exercises, Concerts, etc., showing that the same efforts are made there to hold young men from places of temptation that we are consid- ering here. The Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. have inReceptions, the augurated a Spring programmes of which are Readings ami Music, by celebrated helpers ; aud from the fact that Reception Committees are appointed for each evening of the week for the month, we would judge It to be a continuous treat, and is ottered to the public at 50 cts. admission. The last monthly meeting was wholly a business one, the promised Lecture by Prof. Swift having beeu deferred one week, owing to powerful attractions elsewhere tbe same evening. The attendAt the meeting of the Y. M. C. A., ance, however, was above the average, and last month, it transpired that there ap- from the reports made by tbe different pears to be no suitable room available at Committees, and the discussions thereon, the Government Prison for use as a chapel. much interest was manifest.

A State and his method of work, and In the report of the Committee to visit the prison a very important fact was brought to public attention—of the non-existence of a chapel, or room for devotional exercises—(see a proceeding article). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
