POETRY.
For the Friend,
A FRAGMENT, ADDRESSED TO THE

DIA MOND ROCK.

Old Rock ! I would that thou could'st speak
And tell me what thou'stseen, from that high peak,
Which Sol dost gild with ruddy beam, long, long before
He sheds his cheerful rays, on sea or shore.
For thou could'st tell of yearsbefore the flood,
Ere first frail man, had sinned against his God
And thus provoked his anger, to destroy
A world He'd made, so full of peace and joy ;
And could'st reveal that secret, dark of thine,
Of how the people, came into this clime
In one single breath, the mystery proclaim,
And place me high upon the mount of fame.
What were thy feelings, when thou first descri'd
The Flag of England, waving o'er thy tide.
And gazed in speechless wonder in thy look.
Upon the band, led on by daring Cook.
Who rang'd thy burning mountains, o'er and o'or,
And shed his life's blood on thy rock bound shore ?
Could'st thou then foretell, as to thy wondering view,
From ocean's mist he burst in war canoe,
That he, thy ancient altars would deface,
And raise those of the Christian's Ood in place ;
Make thy dread chaunt of dusky warrior's yell.
Give way tothat of Sabbath going bell,
Break the foul chain, that long had held thee boand,
And hurl thepower of Satan to the Ground ?
If this thou knew'st thou must have hail'd with pride
The march of emigration's onward tide ;
Thy flinty bosom now should thrill with joy.
And pleasure reign in thee without alloy,
For thou ean'st boast ofhaving gain'd a stand
As high, as highest fam'd Christian land.
In arts, in science, in culture taught,
A home that is, with milk and honey fraught.
These then sre thine, and better far than nil
For aid, thy children on their God now call,
Peace be with thee, thou heaven favor'd Isle,
Upon thy flocksand bald, may plenty smile.
Nor aver desolation cross thy path ;
Nor war, of minds, nor man's excited wrath,
Be then inscribed upon the book of fame,
A bright example of thoTemp'rance name.
Fore Peak.

Honolulu, October 1, 1845.

ART AND SCIENCE.
The new
" Transit House" of Mr.
Boardtnan is really an ornament to the
town. We have rarely seen a building in
any part of the world, which displayed more
architectural symmetry, neatness and beauty. The architect, Mr. R. A. S. Wood,
richly merits the praise of all who delight
in beholding a finished specimen of the
building art.
If the building ornaments the town, the
object surely, for which it was erected, reflects much credit upon Mr. Boardman's
ardent love for scientific and astronomical
calculations. His skill, in rating chronometers, is now deservedly high among navigators in the Pacific, but by fitting up this
observatory, he has shown that no labor or
expense shall be spared, which may render
more exact his calculation, or afford satisfaction to his employers.
