Before America was discovered, China had a canal 1200 miles long. Her great wall was 220 years old, when Christ was born. The literature of China, is overwhelming in extent, embracing books of all descriptions, relating to history, astronomy, geography, arts, biography, language and the wide circle of literature. In their bibliography, the Chinese exceed other nations.

The author arrived in the East as a Missionary towards the end of 1839. He commenced the study of Chinese, before leaving England, under Prof. Kidd, of the University at London. For nearly 20 years, he was engaged in mission work in China, before he undertook the publication of a Translation of the Chinese Classics.

We hope the tide is turning. : To the English reader, of Professor Legge's great work, the various notes and Prolegomena are the most valuable part of the volumes; in them will be found the history of China and the classical writings. It appears, that according to Professor Legge's statement during the Ts'in dynasty, B. C. 480—22i, the "literary monuments were destroyed by fire, in order to keep the people in ignorance," but that during a subsequent dynasty, that of the Han dynasty—B.C., 139—86, there was a restoration of the cluneal writings, so that "the classical books of China conic down from at least a century before our Christian Era, substantially the same as we have them at present." This is a highly important statement, and hence the reader of this translation ma) feel that he is not perusing books stir rcpctitously imposed upon the world. The contents of these volumes, for the most part, are then the intellectual food upon which the m llions of China have been feeding and nourished, during the past 2,000 years. No lover of mankind, no true Scholar, no Christian, can look upon, or read these volumes with indifference. The most prominent of the. original authors of these volumes, is Confucius, respecting whom remarks the Rev. Mr. Fiber, a German Protestant missionary, now laboring in China, "Confucius is the Chinese ofthe Chinese the greatest personage of the largest Empire of the world; and he has exerted the greatest influence, where numbers are taken into account, ofany man who ever lived!" Professor .Legge has written an interesting life of Confucius and other Classical Chinese authors. Our limits will not allow us, to go more minutely and elaborately into an exposition of these volumes but we cannot refrain from commending them to the reading of all who desire to cultivate acquaintance with this remarkable people and their deeply interesting history. We fail to see why their history and literature are less worthy of study, than those of other nations of antiquity.

Observer, October i ith 1883 AS BUSY AS A BEE. JUDD After the music the assemblage was informally called to order by Chief Jus- tice Judd, who addressed the meeting as follows: On behalf of the Trustees of Oahu College' and its patrons I welcome you, Mr. President, and your corps of assistants, to our island kingdom and to the charge of this institution of learning. Oahu College, though small, wher> the number of its pupils are considered, and weak in endowment, is by no means in its infancy. Founded by our fathers over forty years ago, it antedates the discovery of gold and the consequent development of the Pacific states of America. It has clone good work and has a noble record. But of late years this institution has suffered somewhat by the commercial spirit which has come over our community in consequence of its rapid strides in material For many of our youth are prosperity. possessed with this spirit and content themselves with what is called practical knowledge" or a business education." The spirit called by Andrew White mercantilism," largely prevails in our nearest neighbor, the American Republic, and is portentous to its institutions. But we desire that Oahu College shall exorcise this spirit and be a standing protest against that utilitarianism which sees in our valleys, plains and hill-sides only so many acres of cane land, rice fields or pasture, which finds in our magnificent mountains nothing but water sheds for supplying irrigating ditches and in our ancient forests only firewood at so much a cord at the furnace mouths ; or which values men as only so much muscle to hoe cane. We desire that in these classic shades shall be stimulated a thirst for that higher development of the intellect and heart, which will not content itself with a knowledge of book-keeping, and which has a higher goal than the capacity toenter a store at seventeen years of age and earn $60 a month, and which will not consider the time before a youth can enter the lists in the eager competition for wealth as time lost, and which calls others than its millionaires the great men of a country. There is something nobler and higher than the material interests of a nation. The training of the mind and soul by which men become good citizens, of pure morals, disciplined minds, and cultivated tastes, tends more to make a nation great than hordes of immigrants and vaults stocked full of silver coin. If Oahu College, well endowed and well patronized by our country, shall make its graduates, ihe future fathers and mothers of this kingdom, persons of such character, it will be worth more to this nation than a standing army, a fleet, or all it? laws, or its court-houses or gaols. We want more of that ambition for a liberal education which sent the Lymans, the Alexanders, and the Lyons' of twenty-live years ago to the field as surveyors to earn money with which to go through college, and we look to you, sir, to stimulate such a spirit. We want our l)oys and girls to l>e contented with nothing less than the best, and if it cannot be got here then to continue the pursuit of knowledge even if it take them to Harvard or Vale or Ann Arbor, and to Vassar or Wellsly. Mr. President, I have the greater satisfaction in welcoming you because you come from my own second alma mater, under the elms of New Haven. May your administration have as its ideal the symmetrical development of the youth placed in your charge into perfect manhood and womanhood " " " "As busy as a bee " is one of our most common expressions, but there are few people who know how much labor the sweet hoard of the hive represents. Every head of clover contains about sixty distinct flower-tubes, each of which holds a bit of sugar not exceeding the five-hundredth part of a grain.

The last, commencing, "A Safe Stronghold Our God is still," is to be sung in all German churches, by special request of the Emperor.

All vessels )>ound thither trom the Western Hemisphere pass either to the north or south of Sumatra, entering through the Strait of Singapore or the Straits of Sunda. Steam vessels bound through the Suez Canal and Indian Ocean use the former, and those rounding the Cape of Good Hope the latter. The Strait is about seventy miles long, sixty miles broad at the southwest end, narrowing to thirteen miles at the notheast end. Half way through the strait, equidistant from the two shores, was a groupof threeislands, the largest of which was Krakatoa, four and a half miles long and three miles broad, its volcanic summit reaching to a height of 2,633 feet above the sea level, about ten times higher than the surrounding sea was deep. Between it and Java, although the floorof the strait was uneven, the channel was clearofdangers on the Sumatra side were several islands and rocks, the two largest of which, Bezee and Sebooko, rose respectively 2,625 feet and 1,416 feet above the sea. As far as our present information goes, it appears that this chain of islets on the Sumatra side of thestrait has beenadded to by at least sixteen volcanic craters rising within the eight miles of water that formerly seperated them from Krakatoa. With so enormous an upheaval, it would not be unnatural to expect the surrounding floor to be depressed ; but when we learn that the whole island of Krakatoa containing about eight thousand million cubic jards of material, har fallen in and disappeared below the sea, the magnitude of the convulsion becomes more apparent, and it is easier to realize the formation of the destructive volcanic wave that was thrown on the neighboring shores.- [Exchange. = * ct£ 2 g2 c £ ° S l *-= 8 E v-"g E ~c *M.Ej 5q S It'l ! > 2 v">- s*^*^ '[jo.a - 3 i ° iJc'S£r3= and The With f & 3 • 93 <-» i 23 — U GRIEVE LEWIS- In Honolulu, September 27, 1883, at the residence of Mr. lames Auld, Emma Rev, J.

JONES' BOOK-KEEPING CLASS. I,ast Monday evening we chanced into the V.M.C.A. building, and there we found Mr. Jones (with coat off) standing before a black-board endeavoring to illustrate the principle of debit and credit, to a class of over 30 young men. The room was quiet, and all eyes were fixed upon the figures as chalked down by this active member of the flourishing house of C. Brewer & Co. "If your books are kept correctly they must balance," he said. This reminded us ofa visit we once made to the counting-house of C. Brewer & Co, away back, in the 40's. Mr. Baker was then book-keeiier of the firm. He said to us, " I have been working two weeks for two cents." is that ? " " Why," he replied, " How am bound to make my books I " balance." The next time we met him he had found the error, and was rejoicing. Recently, we saw the statement that an error of a few cents had been found in the army accounts at Washington, and the clerks had been compelled to run over the books, extending back for months. Just so is it,young man, with sin. You may think it a trifle, but having once been committed, it must be pardoned— or ruin follows. The Bible says, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. — Christ's blood can alone wash away to drop sin." HONOLULU THE BEST PLACE TO REFORM. This is the remark of a young man who is endeavouring to reform his vicious habits. There are those ready to take any such men by the hand and encourage them to lead a better life. Not only gentlemen but ladies come to the rescue of any one desirous of leaving the pathway of sin and entering the way that leads to happiness here and hereafter. — MartinLuther. His 400th birthday is to be celebrated on the 10th of this month, throughout Germany and the Christian world. What more worthy of study than the life and labors of this great and good man. We recommend all the members of the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu, to read the Life of Luther. Search encyclopoedias and libraries for facts in regard to his life and character. D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation is a most capital book, if anyone desires a clear and comprehensive view of his remarkable career. It contains a history of the times, as well as the life of the great reformer and his associates. The late Professor Sears, agent for the Peabody Fund has written an admirable life of the great Reformer. All the histories of Germany contain notices of this remarkable man. See a good notice of Luther in Harper's Weekly for September 22nd. All late European and American papers abound with notices of Luther. Read them, and cut out enough to make a good Martin Luther scrap-book. Mr Editor, —As I sat listening to Mr. Cruzan's address, Sabbath afternoon, at the Y. M. C. A. hall, I was led to a train of very sober reflections. His text, Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." I said to myself, "If I had not accepted that precious invitation I would do so now." Yes, now! Why ? Because, during the past period of more than fifty years I have experienced the joy and happiness flowing from having accepted of that invitation. I know by experience that Christ does not deceive his followers. I know that true happiness is nowhere else to be found but in communion with God through Jesus Christ." With the apostle Paul, I can say, "I know in whom I have believed, and that he will keep that which I have committed unto him." An Old Man.

The law is based upon the principle of high licenses. We have no hesitation in asserting that Dr. Scott of Lebanon, Ohio imbibed his ideas upon this subject, while U. S. Consul in Honolulu, where liquor retail dealers, are obliged to pay $1,000 per annum for a liquor license. It was originally Dr. Judd's xdea, embodied inlaws of the Hawaiian Kingdom, more than thirty years ago.
