When, in addition to this, it be considered that these " objects of beauty" are by no means limited in number, but present themselves to the travellers delighted and astonished gaze, in countless forms of lavish and oriental splendor, it will be easily perceived that his office of enumeration and description is beset with insuperable difficulties. In this case he adopts the wiser course of selecting the " bright consummate flower" of this matchless garden, in the hope of thus being able to enjoy in the perfect symmetry «nd perfume of the fairest bloom, the essence of its companions. When this course is adopted there is no word of question.

Passing through the welcome which was ottered me at the Bun- garden you ascend by a flight of white mar- " 1881. ble steps to the platform on which the main edifice is placed. This platlorm is magnificently paved with white marble, and rises upon a terrace of pink sandstone, which is washed on one side by the waters of the river Jumna and on the other is bordered by the garden. At each corner of this regal platform, which is 450 paces square rise superb minarets, full one hundred feet in height, crowned by graceful domes of marble. In the center of »ll this, guarded as it were by these glittering towers, stands the Taj itself the supreme glory of the scene. The following words from one of Russell's Indian letters, will be found interesting at this point: "The tomb stands in the center —a dome of snowy whiteness, upwards of two hundred feet above the level of the platform, with a circumference at the base of more than the same number of feet, rises above the great pediment which constitutes the shrine. It is covered by two gilt balls, which are surmounted by a gilt crescent. At each angle of the building a small dome, the minature of that in the center, is placed. There is an entrance on each side of the shrine formed by a very beautifully proportioned arch, with a pointed top. nearly the height of the whole building and smaller arches at the sides. All this marble is wonderfully inlaid with precious stones, with texts from the Koran, wreaths of flowers and therichest arabesques. It is in the lower part of the building and in the body of the terrace, as it were, below the dome, that the tombs of the great Shah, 'the king of the world,' and of his consort, Arjeemand Banou. also called Muzaz-i-Mahal, are placed. The cenotaph, or sarcophagus of the latter is covered with profuse ornaments and texts from the holy books of the Mohammedans. Her lord lies beside her in a less costly but lotier monument, and the two tombs are enclosed by a latticed wall of white marble. A light burned in the tombs and some garlands of flowers were laid over the rich imitations of themselves, by which the surface was covered. The chamber of the tomb is octagonal and is nearly in utter darkness. The effect of the rays of the lamps on the white marble railing Bnd on parts of the glistening walls of the tomb is powerful, gloomy and yet bright, like a sketch by Rembrandt. We enter once more the great chamber, where are placed the unoccupied sarcophagus of the Shah and of his wife, directly over the real tombs, in the chomber below. The arched roof of the cupola rises above you, and the light falls dimly on the shrine-like tombs in the center." This is the skeleton as it were. This can be given but no human words can reproduce the effect produced by these massive marble walls of glistening purity; by the glorious dome poisod like a silver bubble between heaven and earth; by the exquisite carvings which seem too wondrously delicate to have been wrought by human skill. The most beautiful stones and gems are used in lavish profusion. All the beauties of the garden without in leaf or blossom, seem to be here reproduced in the most exquisite mosaics and scroll work. No nook has been left untouched—surely they wrought here as if believing "the Gods see everywhere." The gardenssurrounding this wonderful edifice are beautiful in the extreme, a fit setting �for this rarest tressure of the Indian Empire. All is, of course, the property of the British Government, and is most carefully preserved. Quite recently, thousands ot pounds sterling have been expended upon it and yet this seems money well expended, when we con- sider that thus one of the most perfect forms of beauty in art, which the world has ever seen is being kept for future generations to admire and wonder at. I shall always recall with especial pleasure my first visit to the Taj. As you will remember it was in the early morning. The cool, dim shades of the lovely gardens; the delicious fragrance of a thousand Eastern flowers; the twittering of birds in the trees, were all especially welcome after the parched, sandy wastes lying outside the walls. The overseer of the gardens, to whom I had an introduction, did the honors of the place most agreeably. I remember his pointing out to me, as the Sandwich Island vine," that old friend, so "well-known on our Islands as the " Mexican Creeper." Very likely it may have been brought from Honolulu to India. But the gardens, with all their beauties, could not make me forget the Taj. 1 was holf afraid at first it might vanish quite away, like a dream. Time and time again I would look back to see if it were really there, and every time I discovered some new beauty. Now I would catch the upward leapof a glittering minaret, like some snowy fountain, set in the midst of palms. Then through an opening in the vines might be seen some stately arch or quaint and wondrous arabesque, or inlaid text in Arabic traceries, in jewelled mosaic of flowers. The day came on with all the fiery swiftness of an Eastern and tropic dawning. The river and its banks woke to From all points a multitudinous life. streamed throngs of devotees and bathers to the sacred waters for the morning's worship. 1 mounted once more to the platform, ran my eye swiftly over the marvelous outline of the Taj, that it might be, as it were, photographed forever on my inner vision and then went down through the gardens, under the lofty arch and out into the world again with something laid up in my heart and memory which 1 would not give for gold or precious stones. Though I have dwelt at such length upon the Taj, as to leave me but little time for speaking of anything else, it is not because of its being the ouly object of interest at Agra. Tombs, mosques and palaces, still remain to remind the visitor of the magnificence »f the Moghul Rule. The great palace, now in a partly ruined state, covers an immense area, bordering the banks of the river. Its clossal gateways and superb Audience Chambers, and Royal sppnrtments, ornamented ia the most beautiful styles of oriental art, ace alone worth a visit to India. A few miles from the city is the famous and magnificent tomb of AUbar, •■ one of the greatest moaarchs who ever wielded a sceptre." A journeyof a few hours brings the visitor to Fattehpur-Sikri, the Versailles of India. Modern Agra is a busy, bustling city. Much fine artistic work is still done here in carvings and mosaic.

Among the pleasant memories ofmy homeward tour will be the thought of this meeting As I write these words our little Kingdom is jubilant with welcome to our Sovereign who has just returned from his remarkable tour around the world, a welcome in which I feel it to be a prvilege to join. Going Eastward to lands which His Majesty had just left, it was peculiarly pleasant to hear of the warm and hearty interest he had awakened wherevor he had been, and of the pleasant memories he had left behind him. I found our King spoken of not alone as a Royal visitor, but as a friend and welcome guest. With Hawaii to-day join many peoples in many lands in Aloha to Kalakaua. Frank W. Damon. Honolulu, Oct. 31st., 1891. Key. Dr. Robinson of Louisyille Ky.— We sorrow to rend the announcement of Dr. Robinson's death. His position was among the most noted in the Presbyterian Church of America. It was our privilege, in 1832, to enter Amherst College with him, and for four years we were classmates, and associated with us were Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, of N, V., Rev. Dr. Palmer, of New Orleans, exGov. Bullock, of Massachusetts, Dr. Alien, of Lowell, the late Rev. W. B. Homer, of of Boston, one of the most accomplished scholars of his yesrs in America, whose graceful memoir has been written by Prof. Parke of Andover. Other young men were our associates in Colleg.e. whose names are world wide, such as Rev. H. W. Beecher, Bishop Huntington, and many others. Dr. Robinson was then noted for his rare ability as a scholar and debater, and his subsequent career as Preacher, Professor, Lecturer and Leader has more than filled out his youthful promise. Since leaving College in 1836, we have only met him but once, and that was to spend a day with him at his charming home in Louisville, in the summer of 1876. Honor to his memory. A Bible for the Viceroy of Egypt.— During his visit to Alexandria, His Majesty David Kalakaua, King of the Sandwich Islands, gave a gracious audience to a number of visitors, including the Sub-Agent of the Bible Society, Mr T.

Remarkable Discoveries in Egypt.—We have other accounts of the highly important discovery which has just been made in the Libyan Desert on the western side of Thebes. A long underground corridor has been discovered, containing the mummies of the kings of the eighteenth and nineteenth dynasties, who had been hidden here from fear of future spoliation. The mummies are over thirty in number, and among them are corpses of Thothmes 111 and of Ramses 11, the Scooshis of the Greeks. Nothing has been touched since the day they were deposited in their resting place. Even the withered flower-wreaths were found still lying on the breasts of the dead- Besides the mummies, 3.700 mortuary statues have been discovered and numberless inscriptions. The corridor also contains a large leather tent, covered with hieroglyphics, the colors of which are as brilliant as when they were first laid on. But the most valuable treasure contained in the corridor consists of a number of papyri, four of which are very large and quite perfect It is possible that one of these may be a duplicate of the famous Turin pnpyrua and furnish us with the much needed list of Egyptian kings and dates.— Independent. �98 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1881. when asked to contribute.

No surer ssfeguard can be erected against the thousand possible ills which may arise from the indiscriminate herding together of thousands of men ! Let the sweet and gentle influence of the mother, the wife, the sister, the daughter be brought to bear upon the large and yearly increasing company of Chinese in our midst, and we shalt soon see a change wrought, such as police regulations cannot produce. In the cause of a common humanity—in the interests of that great brotherhood, larger and broader than mere national or race feelings or sympathy, we plead for these homeless strangers. Our Island Kingdom would then be rich in homes which, instead of weakening would tend to strengthen its position among nntions, rendering it strong and more independent. A Good Woman.—We copy the following from a late Pacific : Died—ln this city Sept. 7th, Caroline Amelia Rankin, wife of Hon. Ira P. Itaukln. aged 62 years. It has been our privilege to meet this lady in 1869, 1876, and 1880, and known of her good works, in behalf of the Orphan Asylum. She has been for many years one of the noble christian women of California. The following extract from a letter from the late Dr. Horace Bushnell gives a good illustration of the impression which in her vigorous days she made upon those with whom she came in contact : '• Tell Mrs. Rankin that I look upon her as the bright side of California. Solidity, good-nature, smiles, truth, good works, bounty, blessing in all shapes —these and such like come along when I think of her, and I have a better opinion of that rough California life than up otherwise.

M. was delivered at the Lyceum and the two others at Fort Street church. At the close of the second service substantial aid was asked for the proposed new building resulting in subscriptions thereto to the amount of 83.900 which with the former pledges brought it up to $9,000. Additional promises have been given the Committee, so that the sum named ($12,000) has nearly been secured, of which Mr. Smith's efforts on our behalf may be said to have secured us nearly two-thirds. Another hold Mr. Smith will have in the minds of all Christians here is in opening up the riches of bible truths as illustrated in the bible readings for which he is justly celebrated. It has presented the studying of God's word in a new and interesting light to the majority of our people, and it commends itself to all. Staxdiko Coanumu or thi Y. M. C. A.

The Members of the Association will be glad to show kindness to STRANGERS, to introduce them to the fellowship of Christian Churches, to appropriate Christian work, and to Business Companions. Employment Committee ofthe Association would feel obliged if Planters, Merchants or others desiring employees would notify them of their needs, as there are frequently applications by worthy men for various positions, which it would be a mutual benefit to assist. The Y. M. C. A. owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. J. T Waterhouse, Sr.. for his Inducing Rev. W. J. Smith to visit these Islands and deliver the addresses before the Association, which the people of Honolulu have been favored with of late. And to Mr, Smith we trust we shall ever feel deeply grateful for his constant and untiring effort on behalf of young men of Honolulu, and his earnest appeals thereto, and for, more especially in his three addresses under the auspices of our Association, viz : " The Young Man's Mission," "A Promising Young Man," and •' Does it pay to be a Christian?" all of which were very fully attended and, we are safe in saying, were thoroughly appreciated.
