Tie notes are the fruits of leisure hours, in the evenings, snatched from my ether occupations, of much serious reflection on the moral and socialand condition of these people.

[ From Wilrner and Smith's European hmes, for Sept. 19, we glean the following 127 THE ¥RIENB. $44.) From the Cascade and Miscellany. Mr. Coldwaterman:—One of the constant listeners to your valuable paper has been much gratified with the numerous and unanswerable arguments you are able to bring forward in favor of Total Abstinence principles. It is a subject which enlarges the more it is thought upon. Arguments for temperance and dissuasions from intemperance, multiply in a ten fold ratio the longer one practices the one and avoids the other. The reform has advanced so far, that not a single writer of any respectability daro come out and oppose the temperance reform. Writers, so far as they employ their pens, are all engaged upon the side of Total Abstinence principles. How changed are the views of the public in Honolulu, in regard to the degiading vice of drunkennesss. A few years since it was so common for drunkards to be seen in the streets, that the disgusting sight occasioned no surprise. It is not so now. Lately we lu-ard it reported that the Master of a whale ship was seen drunk in the streets. "Is it possible," says Who can it have been,'" says anone. other. S.nlnis too, are not so frequently seen reeling through our streets. Says one, 1 saw a sailor drunk to-day, for the first "time during this shipping season." Says another, " How regular that fellow has been since he signed the pledge." The mechanics and laboring class in Honolulu, have risen more than 100 per cent, during the last 18 months. They may have been slow in coming to the conclusion that alcohol is not necessary to laboring men, but now they are nobly practicing the principle. It does one's soul good to meet these men hale and healthy, cheerful and happy, as they are engaged in their various trades and professions. If a man wants a piece of work done, he is not put off a week or fortnight, until the person he would employ gets sober. It is a long time since we have heard the complaint that " I cannot get such a piece of work done because is on An engraver at Boston has just finished elegant seal of state for the King of the Sandwich Islands.
