Editorial Reminiscence. If former tourists had not described every nook and corner of the Sandwich Islands, we should feel disposed to scribble a few paragraphs relating to our recent trip to Maui, but particularly Wailuku and Makawao. Those two places are so located that they are perpetually looking each other in the face. Makawao, abiding in mists, looks down upon Wailuku, reposing under its broad and cloudy canopy. At Makawao it rains almost daily, but at Wailuku but seldom, during the summer months. The former, with all its rain and moisture, has no streams or rivulets, but the latter, without rain, supports one of the finest rivers upon the islands, well adapted to water power. The farmers at Wailuku succumb to the indigo, while at Makawao but a few plants only have appeared. At the former spot the herds of horses and cattle fare hard, while at the latter they fatten upon Spanish clover; and, strange as it may appear, such is the moisture in and upon the grass, that horses and cattle go for months without once visiting a stream of water for drink. Wailuku is admirably situated for irrigation, and eventually we hope may become a perfect garden. Makawao, as an agricultural district, has many advantages over most parts of the islands. It was exceedingly pleasant and invigorating to ride along cane-fields well fenced and well tilled, and through wheat fields alive with the busy reapers and their attendants gathering the wheat into stacks, to protect it from the rain and get it ready for the threshing and winnowing machines. To see all this done by Hawaiians, rendered the sight doubly pleasant. Wheat growing appears to suit the natives, and we hope every locality will be pointed out to them where wheat will grow. The success of the sugar estates at Makawao, this year, is most gratifying. With capital and good management, success may be confidently expected ; but with capital to any amount, and poer management, ruin is certain. Those undertaking the sugar business hereafter, ought surely to profit by past experience or want of experience. A person visiting either place during the month of June, will not fail to prize the increasing supply of peaches. Most fortunately we hit the season exactly, and the kindness of friends in placing so many at our disposal, will be long and gratefully remembered. If you desire strawberries, they are to be found growing abundantly above Makawao, upon the lava-covered sides of Haleakala. Other fruits abound in that region, such as oheloes and pohas. It is worth a visit to Maui to obtain a good look at Haleakala, for this one mountain forms the whole of East Maui. We ascended to its summit in 1847, and do not care again to toil up its rugged steeps ; but the view from the top will richly reward the traveler for all his efforts to ascend.—[See Friend, August, 1847.] Other good views are to be obtained beside that from the summit. A spectator at Wailuku, looking across the plain, and upon that lofty dome-shaped mountain, in a clear and cloudless morning, will obtain an idea of vastness and grandeur deeply impressive. Let, however, the sun arise, clouds gather and overspread portions of its sides, then with sunshine and shade alternating, an idea of great beauty and loveliness will be suggested, and long linger an agreeable tenant of the memory. During our brief visit at Makawao, we 49 \m Srrirs, tfol. W. were glad to learn that a most commendable effort has been made among foreigners to sustain public worship in English. We hope the effort may be long sustained, and eventually grow into a flourishing church and society. We would merely add, that Wailuku isjust the place to suit boys during a summer vacation. Its strenms, its herds, its shade,, its fruits, render the place a sort of boy's Eden. One thought more and our random remarks are ended. It was pleasant, go where we might, we were sure to meet old sea-faring acquaintances, some of whom we had welcomed when they first landed upon the islands. Having formerly tried to befriend them, it was exceedingly pleasant to witness a willingness to reciprocate kindness, aftermany days. Ho, for Fraser River! By reference to our previous volumes, we find that just ten years have rolled away since the rush commenced fox California. The present rush for Fraser Riverreminds us of those early California times. Judging from our San Francisco exchanges, we should infer the gold mania raged with great power. Reports from the new mining districts indicate a re-enactment of the same sad scenes which characterized California a few years ago. The San Francisco Herald intimates that famine is likely to prevail at the diggings ; if so, the suffering of the approaching winter will be great. If a little editorial advice would persuade some of our readers to " let well enough alone," we should be disposed to indulge in that strain ; but we are confident that no advice that we could give, would make the least impression upon minds gold-mad. If you will go, reader, hurry off, and, gold or no gold, be ready to return before the fall rains and winter frosts commence, or the chances are that your bod-, ies will become food for the bears and wolves of the wild regions along Fraser River. �50 THE Fltinii.

Today, March 29, the John Williams sailed on her cruise. Departure.—March 29—We expect to sail to-morrow. The cargo is all on board, and most of the provisions. I shall not probably write again before we sail, but I shall not be much surprised should we be obliged to go into some port before we arrive in New London. My health is more than good. For two or three weeks my old complaint hung around me, but now I am quite well. ***** SAVINGS BANK. Some months ago, the benefits and importance of a Savings Bank were discussed in our columns, but the matter was dropped, principally because the Finance Department of the Kingdom was destitute of an officer specially devoted to its management. The Government organ has announced that the Finance Department is now to be presided over by the Hon. D. L. Gregg, late tJ. S. Commissioner. We do hope the subject of a Savings Bank will not escape his attention. The sphere and bearings of such an institution upon the community, must appear manifest to his mind. We consider the usefulness and healthy influence of Savings Banks as fully settled. Other civilized countries have established such institutions, and why may we not have one in Honolulu? We believe the Government might thereby, at �THE FRIEND, JULY, 1858. ten, perhaps eight per cent., per annum, ob- tain all the money it requires without paying twelve and eighteen per cent. It might require time to introduce the system and secure confidence in deposites, but respecting ultimate success, we entertain no manner of doubt. As to the details of such an institution, we have nothing to say. What we desire is simply this—that there shall be some institution established on the Sandwich Islands, where King and people, foreigner and sailor, professional man and mechanic, father and child, may deposit the funds which have !>een saved, and feel that they are safe. We copy the following items from our exchanges. Savings Banks.—The first Saving Bank was established in England in 1804, through the philanthropic efforts of Mrs. Elizabeth, of Tottenham, and from that time Savings Banks grew rapidly in public favor. They were first established in the United States in Philadelphia in 181(5, in Boston in 1817,and in New York in 1819. The Savings Banks in the State of New York now hold on deposit over 841,000.000, paying over $2,000,000 interest to depositors the last year. The total number of depositors was 203,804, the average deposit $203, being the savings of those whose support depends mainly on their daily individual labor. The Dime Savings Bank in Baltimore, appears to have demonstrated the practicability of such institutions, and shows how large results flow from small causes. It appears from their annual report that the amount deposited during the financial year justclosed, was $90,503 47, making a total of $177,668 74. Of this there has been drawnby depositors, $67,729 90, leaving on hand $109,968 84. This exhibits an increase during the year of $22,773 57, notwithstanding the pressure of the times has evidently caused the withdrawal of so large an amount as nearly $68,000. The increase of depositors during the year has been 300, making in all at the present time, 3,657. Funeral Sermon, S' D AT THE BURIAL OF THE CREW OF JOHN MILTON"—BY REV. S. L. MER28, 1858, AT EAST HAMP- FF.BRUARY ,ONG ISLAND, N. Y. Our readers have been informed of the terrible wreck of the John Milton, off the east end of Long Island. With her commander, Captain Harding, many of our readers were acquainted. It seems but yesterday since he left Honolulu as master of a full ship, bound homeward. The sermon, indicated by the above title, has been forwarded by an old acquaintance residing near the spot where the fatal catastrophe occurred. From its contents, we learn that the John Milton was a new ship, having made a successful voyage to San Francisco, returning via Peru, to obtain a freight of guano, touched at Hampton Roads, and proceeded thence to her port of destina- 51 tion ; but when offLong Island, was wrecked, Sermon before the Haw.

Then I believed in Christ, and was able to kneel before Him and pray to Him. Then He became the friend of my soul, whom I learned to consult in all things, as I had formerly consulted my conscience. Christ recognized the power of example when He instructed, commissioned and sent out his disciples. He taught, too, by his own example—"leaving us an example, that we should walk in his steps." The apostles appealed to their own example as an unanswerable argument to the truth of the religion they taught—" Ye are our witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you, giving no offence in anything." The writings of the apostles abound with exhortations to Christians to shine by the example of a blameless, consist? nr, holy life— Walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, without offence, filled with the fruits of righteousness. See that ye walk circumspectly, that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men." Christian example, then, is the light which should constantly go out from the church and shine on the dark world. 2. The Church is to shine on the world by " the truths which it teaches. 3.

(For the Friend.) Book-Keeping by Double Entry. Sitting, a few days since, in a merchant's store, my ear casually caught from a neighboring counting-room, a few earnest words from a principal to a clerk, on the importance of careful book-keeping. My mind, however, being somewhat given to such vagaries, betook itself to a meditation upon a kind of book-keeping not often I fear touched upon in either counting-room or parlor conversa- tion. I found myself reflecting upon the way in which each act of each human being, from childhood to decay, tells either on the character of the soul itself, or on the external world, whether of matter, animals or men— thus entering itself in the great Book of Nature—writing its own record more faithfully than any in counting-house day-books, in such sort that every impulse, down to the unlooked feeling or unspoken thought, is there as though " graven with an iron pen and lead, in the rock forever;"—forming a record as enduring as the universe, or as the Infinite Mind of which that universe is the "Word." And yet, faithful as it is, this is not the only record of each soul's transactions, for in each also is a faculty of memory, and nowhere but in the heathen mythology (and there rather as wished for than believed in) is there a Lethe. As faithfully as the external world, and as enduringly as the soul itself, does Memory hold her record of the past; and assiduously as we may deceive ourselves, she ever and anon makes us aware thatthere can be no tampering with her entries. So, in the Book of Nature and the Book of Memory, does each life doublyrecord itself, for its own retrospection and for the views of others. Not an iota is or can be lost, nor can the records be concealed. The universe declares the one, and to the other the supreme court of conscience has ever free access, and may at any moment startle us from our dream of rest, by pointing to some page that perchance we fancied lost beneath thedust of years, and sternly asking, " Was that right ?" " That which was spoken to the ear in closets"— that which the soul whispered to itself in the secresy of its own councils—must " be proclaimed upon the house tops," and we ourselves cannot avoid passing judgment on its moral character. If it be true that for each, these infallible and everlasting records do exist, (and that it is true, quiet meditation on well known facts would seem sufficient to convince any one,) is it not worth while for each to ask himself, what spirit of life will be revealed by the opening of those books in his case ? Will they show fair and honest and honorable transactions, the natural expression of a spirit of love, peace and good will ? or will they suggest only a self-seeking spirit which, when seen by the soul itself, in its moral deformity and littleness, will force it to call upon the rocks and the hills to fall upon it, and hide it from its own more crushing sense of shame and misery ? Surely it is worth while, when we so carefully inspect the records of our pecuniary affairs, also to keep an eye upon the character of those which mark down not only our dollars and cents, but our hearts and lives.

Rowell, of Waimea, Kauai,) expects to leave his station as Seamen's Chaplain at Aspinwall, New Granada, and remove to San Francisco. His health and that of his family has become impaired by a residence at Panama and Aspinwall since 1851. During his residence upon the Isthmus, he has been a most zealous and successful minister of the gospel, and we congratulate the 57 jiOlu Series, lioi. 17 The highest wall tall in the world is in the Sandwich Island*, and is Minted to lie between four and five thousand feet high.

We copy the above from one of our American exchanges. It is one of those extravagant statements that is ridiculously and amusingly absurd ! Int-tead of " thousands," it should read "hundreds." There is a stream falling about four hundred feet on Hawaii, if we have been correctly informed. Will some person on that island furnish us the facts upon this subject? The Atlantic "Monthly,"—for July, has found its way to the Editor's table. This is a Monthly that will be appreciated by persons fond of choice reading, furnished by writers of unquestionable talent. In a literary way it stands at the head of American Monthlies. The articles entitled "Catacombs of Rome," contain facts of interest respecting the early Christians, under the Roman Emperors. "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," is worthy of perusal. We hope to find additional numbers upon our tablefrom the same source. To Friends ok Seamen.—Any persons having books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapeis, tke., which they are willing or wishing should be distributed among seamen, arc requested to forward the same to the depository, at the " Sailor'si Home." The Chaplain would now make a special appeal, because his present supply is limited, and he is doubtful about receiving the usual supply from the United States for the Fall shipping season.

The following paragraphs, copied from a letter written by a student in Cambridge University, Massachusetts, contains a suggestion which, if followed out, might lead to interesting and important results : " There is a suggestion that I should like to make, and that is, that some one should compile, and have published, a full account of the Hawaiian mythology and institutions prior to the introduction of Christianity. " Tho accounts we have now are very meagre. That of Jarves, (History Hawaiian Islands) is the best I have ever seen, but that comes far short of satisfying one who desires to understand the subject. It should be done also, as a duty due the Hawaiian race. No just estimate of their progress can be formed without a knowledge of these things. It should be done quickly too. The old natives are fast dying off, and probably much that is valuable is irrecoverably lost. Few yet remain like John li, and Kekuanaou, who could furnish much that would be exceedingly interesting and useful to a student of the problem of moral devclopement. It has struck me thnt there may have been a spiritual meaning attached to some of the wild old legends,,like the famous one of Lono for instance, which meaning, even through one vague glimpse of it, would let in much light upon the origin and nature of the people. "The preservation of ancient forms of prayer, and the ritual in special religious celebrations, would be worthy of the effort made to obtain them, from the insight they would give into the hearts of the heathen. " I hope that some one will think this object of sufficient importance to claim, at least, a part of his leisure time in its investiW. F. S." tion. Most earnestly we commend the foregoing to the thoughtful consideration of the Missionaries, or some of their sons, well versed in the Hawaiian language and history. It opens a field for literary and antiquarian investigation, worthy of being entered. A volume might be filled with disquisitions upon the old tabu-system extending over all the " isles of the South," as well as the Hawaiian Islands. Among the Marquesans, one of the idol-gnds ofHawaii, has been introduced within a few years. There are traditional customs among Hawaiians pointing in the direction of the Jews. Is there no patient, but enthusiastic, student of Hawaiian annals who will investigate and bring to light things both new and old." Now is the time to work. " Efforts in Behalf of Seaman at Shanghai China. The following paragraphs we copy from a private letter from Mr. A. L. Freeman, an American merchant, .residing at Shanghai. It bears date January 7, 1857, and although more than a twelve-month old, was received by the late mail from California : " The sailor is the world's missionary, and when converted has a world-wide influence. It is a cheering fact that the Christian world is more interested in the welfare of the sailor than in times past. The prospect for the future, with God's blessing, is encouraging. Here in Shanghai, through the liberality of the merchants, $2000 have been subscribed to build a Floating Bethel. Last week it was launched, and in a few weeks more it will be completed. The Bethel Flag was hoisted for the first time on the first Sabbath morning in July last. A hulk, used to heave down vessels with, was kindly loaned for the purpose. The meetings have been well attended. The missionaries, in connection with Mr. Hobson, the chaplain to the foreign residents, have heartily co-operated in the work, and conducted the services twice on the Sabbath. In addition to this mark of interest in the cause, a Seamen's Cemetery has been purchased and laid out within the last six months, at an expense of $1600, also a contribution of the merchants of Shanghai. It is situated on the opposite bank of the river, about a half mile from the foreign settlement, a beautiful spot for the last restingplace of those who come to this land of strangers. Those who have died among the shipping, have been buried in the cemetery adjoining the settlement, but the large number who die annually has rendered it necessary to provide a larger place, and as a result, the cemetery above mentioned has been purchased and laid out as a seamen's burial place. A Relief Fund, amounting to a few hundred dollars, to be added to as occasion may demand, has been subscribed for the sick and destitute sailors that from time to time find their way here. " The Seamen's Hospital, a private concern, has been renovated and enlarged the past summer, and made more comfortable." " Tolerance and Intolerance. From a new work, entitled Brazil and the Brazilians, it appears that although Brazil is thoroughly a Catholic country, yet free toleration is granted to all dissenters, of whatever name or sect. This is a remarkable fact, and stands forth marked and distinct upon the history of the Catholic portion of the earth. Cross the Andes, enter Chile, and even now the Bishop of Santiago is highly incensed that Protestants should have been allowed to erect houses of worship in Valparaiso. Until recently, the English Episcopal Church has been registered as a stable. It is due to the Rev. D. Trumbull, Seamen's Chaplain and Pastor of a Congregational Church, that Protestants have taken a prominent position in the city ofValparaiso. Since Mr. Trumbull's Society opened their Chapel, the English have erected a new and costly church edifice. These progressive movements have called forth the censures of the Catholic Priesthood, although the people at large sympathize but little with their religious teachers in this matter. 59 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1858.

In the last No. of the Polynesian, the editor intimates that some may "be discouraged or frightened away by false shame." Verily this is an insinuation against human nature that strikes out sensorium oddly enough. What, a man, a woman, a child, ashamed to make a deposit in a savings bank! All we can add is simply this: If any person's mind is so unbalanced and sadly biassed as to be influenced by a motive of this nature,—false shame,—in a matter of this nature, then we should confidently expect he would eventually be supported by his friends and be buried by subscription. We have lately seen the statement going the rounds of the newspapers, that the California and Australian mines had yielded, during the last ten years, between six and seven hundred millions of gold. This is a very large amount to be thrown into the circulation of the world. Another statement recently attracted our attention. A British writer states that the Revolutionary War carried on by England with the United States, from 1774 to 1782, cost England the sum of £136,000,000, or $880,000,000!

How to Spend the Sabbath.—In a recent work by the distinguished Professor of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh, we find the following glowing paragraphs on Sabbath occupations:—•• Kest assured that the more the phvsinlogist advances in the exact knowledge of his science, the more will he be convinced that the physiology of the Sabbath, as contained by manifest implication in God's revealed word, is not only true, but imbedded there, and embodied in corresponding enactments, alike in wisdom and in mercy. And the more faithfully man observes the Sabbath according to God's law, the purer pleasure and the higher happiness w.ill be his. Let him walk on the Sabbath ; but let it be, Enoch-like, with God—walking to or/*in the sanctunrv, whether that he roofed by mortal hand, or canopied by the spacious firmament. Let him read on the Sabbath ; but let it be of God and godliness—not concerning the things of time which are seen, but touching the great things which are not seen, and arc eternal. Let him talk on the Sabbath ; but let his conversation bo as "becometh the gospel of Christ." Let him meditate; but let it be on the law of God, "day and night," that he may observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then he shall make his way prosperous, and then he shall have good success. Let him cat on the Sabbath; but while the sustenance of the body is not neglected, let his soul's feeding be upon the " bread of life." Let him drink on the Sabbath ; but let it be of the "water of life," and that freely. Power of Sea Breakers.—From experiments which were made some time since, at the Bell Rock and Sherryvore lighthouse, on the coast of Scotland, it was found, that while the force of the breakers on the side of the German Ocean may be taken at about a ton and a half upon every square foot of surface exposed to them, the Atlantic breakers fall with double that weight, or three tons to the square foot; and thus a surface of only two square yards sustains a blow from a heavy Atlantic breaker, equal to about 54 tons. In Nov., 1824, a heavy gale blew, and blocks of limestone and granite from 2 to 5 tons weight, were washed about like pebbles at the Plymouth breakwater. About 300 tons of such blocks were borne a distance of 200 feet and up the inclined plane of the breakwater, carried over it and .scattered in various directions. A block of limestone, 7 tons, was in one place washed a distance of 150 feet. Blocks of 3 tons weight were torn away by a single blow of n breaker, and hurled over into the harbor, and one of nearly 2 tons, strongly trenailed down upon a jetty,was torn away and tossed upwards by an overpowering breaker. �61 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1858.

They ran about here and there, and saw and heard ■ great deal. At last a heavy shower coming on, they went back to the mill to eat their lunch and 6ee when their turn came. The miller's son and the squire's son were engaged in a brisk talk, which soon took Jack's attention. David went to look after the corn. The miller's son was urging upon the squire's son the importance of finding what truth the Bible enwhich the squire's son parried by snyit was " no matter wliat a man believes, ided he's sincere."

It was not until late in the afternoon that the boys' grist was roady ; when the old mare was brought out of the shed, the batr hoisted on her back, and Jack and David both mounted her —bag, boys and mare homeward boun I. " You've got a longer ride ahead than I wish you had, boys," said the miller, casting his eyes towards a black cloud which was rising and darkening the western sky. " There's plenty of water up there for my mill." The mare set briskly off", arid was soon lost to sight among the windings of the forest road. But the gloom gathered faster than the horse trotted, and it was quite dark when they reached a fork in the road, where it might make a very considerable difference which path they took home. One was the traveled road. This way there w-.is a good bridge over Bounding Brook, a mountain stream, which was often dangerously swelled by the spring rains. It was the safest though the longest way home. The other was a wood path through the pines, often taken in good weather by the furmcrs living on the east side of the town, to the Corner. In this road Bounding Brook was crossed by fording. " Father told us to be sure and take the traveled road, if 'twas late," said David. "Going to," said Jack; and the mare stopped at the fork, as if to let the boys be sure which to take. In fact, Jack was a little confused. The windings of the road with nothing but woods on each side, and of course no distinct landmarks to govern him; the gloom of the night hiding what objectsmight have served to direct him, together with his small acquaintance with the road, did puzzle the boys, although Jack, being the older of .the two, with a dash of pride about him, would not own it. As the mare stopped he came to a conclusion, and whipped up. "All f'd, right," h. cried. " Dave; you be still," cried Jack, angrily. "I think we ought to ask, so as to be sure," persisted David. But Jack whipped up, and poor David's fears and words went to the. winds, as gust after gust of the coming shower roared through the forest, and Jack urged the horse to all the speed which her he.ivy load would allow, on and on through the dark woods. Jack was well pleased with the correctness of his hasty decision about the way; and the further he went, the more and more confirmed was he that it was the right way. Presently the roarings of Bounding Brook arose above the rattling of the woods. "A switch over the mnre's haunches, and we shall be over the bridge in a jiffy," cried Jack ; " then, old fellow, what'll you say ?" David privately muttered, " He'd like to feel himself over," when, a few more canters, nnd—Jack, David, meal and mare were floundering in the raging waters of the swollen stream, pitch dark, the storm on them, and miles from human help. The first few moments of horrible surprise it were in vain to paint. Jack at last found himself anchored on a log of drift-wood, the icy waters breaking over him, and the bridle still fast in his hand. " David !" he shouted at the top of his voice ; " David ! " " The Lord have mercy!" cried David, I'm somewhere." The meal ? ah, that was making a pudding in some wild eddy of the Bounding Brook, far below. " No matter what a fellow believes, provided he's sincere," cried poor Jack, thoroughly drenched and humbled. "It's the biggest lie the devil ever got up. It is matter. Being right is the main thing. Sincerity don't save a fellow from the tremendous consequences of being wrong—that it don't. Then what's the use of all a fellow's sincerity ? It can't get him out of the scrape; he's got to take it. Lord hep us! Didn't I honestly believe I was on the bridge of the traveled road, when I was like going to perdition in the ford of the wood path! Lord help us!" And the woful disasters of that night completely and forever cured poor Jack of a popular error which has pitched many a poor soul in the wildersurges of unbeliefand " irreligion. What a Heathen Said.—Plutarch speaks of a long white beard of an old Laconian, who, on being asked why he let it grow to such a length, replied : "It is that, having my white beard continually before my eyes, I may do nothing unworthy of its whiteness." The Bible is like a wide and beautiful landscape seen afar off", dim and confused; but a good telescope will bring it near, and spread out all its trees and rocks and flowers, and verdant fields and winding rivers, at one's very feet. That telescope is the Holy Spirit. Editorial Remarks. —Above, we give the title-page of an old volume, containing the narrative of a voyage round the world. During the voyage, the vessel touched at the Sandwich Islands. The writer appears to have been the supercargo of the vessel. The voyage was undertaken at his suggestion, by British merchants, in order to extend British commerce upon the north-west coast of Americi. The vessel left England in Mny, 1800, proceeding on her voyage, touching at Madeira, Brazil, Cape of Good Hope, Sydney, Norfolk Island, Tahiti, at length arrived at the Sandwich Islands, on her passage to the N. W. coast. Thinking our readers will be interested in the writer's observations upon the islands and their inhabitants, we purpose re-publishing those chapters of the book relating to the Sandwich Islands. We have been induced to pursue this course from the favorable reception which has been given by our readers to the re-publication of Campbell's residence on Oahu. We would merely add that the volume of "Turnbull's voyage" is very rare. This is the only one we havo ever met with, and we presume more of our readers not only never saw the book, but even never heard of it. We are confident only one American edition was ever published, and that appeared in 1810. — Adieu to the Society Islands Ludicrous circumstance in the passage, between the Otaheitan natives and our seamen Arrival at the Sandwich Islands—Commerce Trading—Desertion of our Carpenter. Leaving Maura, we bid adieu for the present to the Society Islands, and stood on our course for the Sandwich Islands. This voyage furnished no occurrences out of the common order. The seamen, in their manner, amused themselves by representing to the natives of Otaheite on board, the dangers that awaited them in crossing a certain part of the sea, meaning the equinoctial line, where they would certainly be harassed by infernal spirits rising out of the water. These stories had a powerful oflect on the poor strangers, who had moreover for some time been extremely uneasy and impatient to see land once more, and appeared most sincerely to regret their imprudence in embarking on a voyage to which they could discover no bounds. So great was their terror at the moment, that I am persuaded had any land been in sight, they would have taken themselves off without leave; but as there was no back-door, they were compelled to submit so their (sate; and —— �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, .358. 62 their terror furnished an inexhaustible fund of amusement to our mischievous sailors. In their distress they at last applied to be informed as to the truth of what the sailors had said, and on being- undeceived, gave a scope to their joy in the most extravagant manner, leaping and hallooing about the deck, as if their minds had at once been relieved from the most dreadful apprehensions. It was however out of my power to prevent very beneficial to all navigators who since his time have touched at the island. A few similar instances of justice would have more efficacy in ensuring the safety of our intercourse with this people, than any of those wanton and ill-judged cruelties which, under the circumstance of the slightest quarrel with these natives, are but too commonly practised. The natives showed the utmost eagerness to get on board the ship; but when all their attempts were opposed, and themselves forced back into their canoes by our new-made marines, they at last contented themselves with lying at a little distance, conversing with our Otaheitan natives. After some time, appeared one of the deputy chiefs of the island, under Tamahama, whose approach created no small stir and bustle among the other islanders in their endeavoring to open a passage for him. But as many of their canoes were crowded and entangled together, they were, in the hurry, run down by the canoe of this great man, who took not the least notice of the disaster he had so wantonly occasioned, or rather who affected this cavalier behavior, with the intention of impressing us with a high idea of his rank and consequence in the country. The poor natives, recovering their canoes, cleared them of the water, got into them again, and remained near the ship, without expressing the smallest dissatisfaction or complaint on account of the them from going through the operation of shaving, &c., usually performed by seamen on persons crossing the line for the first time, and considered by them too serious a privilege to surrender to any remonstrance. We could discover that the whole of this business had made a deepimpression on the Otahitans, and that they promised themselves much pleasure in recounting their adventures to their countrymen on their return ; when the truth would doubtless receive abundant embellishm* nt, for these islanders are naturally fond of the marvellous, and are not even scrupulous in the accounts they give of any extraordinary events that fall in their way. The wind being scanty in the latter part of our voyage, the first land wp made was Whahoo, an island subject to Tamahama, the great chief of tlie Sandwich Islands. Here we opened a trade with the inhabitants for salt, which we found much scarcer and dearer than we had expected. The increased price was occasioned, not only by the scarcity, but by the frequent intercourse the natives tyranicnl treatment of the chief.

When our business was over, we settled our accounts with the chief just mentioned, who was receiver-general for the King. He then left the ship, and, to our astonishment, was accompanied by every native, taking to their paddles, and making for the land with all possible speed. One canoe, the one which had brought off one of Tamahama's naval officers, alone remained. We inquired of this person the meaning of the sudden departure of his countrymen, but he declared he was totally ignorant of the cause, and neither could nor would give us any satisfaction. Being apprehensive of treacherous projects against us, either on the part of the islanders or of their chiefs, it at first occurred to us secure the person of this officer us a pledge for our safety ; but on further consideration of thedifficulties to which this step might expose not only us, but other furure European navigators, we judged it most prudent to suffer him to depart. As soon as he had left us, beginning now to suspect the true cause of the hasty departure of our visitor*, 1 mado inquiry amongst our people whether they had not found means to steal some nrticles belonging to the ship ; and from their general precipitation, and general flight, my mind suggested to me that the theft was of no Ordinary consequence. It was some time before I could procure a satisfactory answer; but it was at length discovered that our carpenter had secretly conveyed himself into one of the canoes, and had thus been carried on shore. Such is the difficulty, nay almost impossibility, of maintaining the necessary complement of men in these voyages, that I could almost recommend that no one should hazard the attempt, unless, as in a king's ship, he can support his authority by martial law. Nothing, as we have before mentioned, can withstand the seduction and artifices of the southern islanders; women, and a life of indolence, are too powerful for the sense of duty in the minds of our seamen. Had we relaxed our efforts for a single moment, our ship would have been deserted. The acquisition of such a person was of inestimable value to Tamahama, and there seemed to be little doubt that, conscious of the value of their prize, they would defend it with their utmost efforts. Our force, moreover, was wholly inadequate to compel them to restore him ; and in endeavoring to recover one of our ship's company we should have run the ri**k of losing many more by similar desertion. From these and other reasons, we thought it moro prudent to put up with our loss. |To b* contlnurrt.) The Marriage Service.—Sir John Bowring, the British Ambassador to China, who, by the way, wrote " Watchman, Tell us of the Night," as well as many other charming pieces of church psalmody, is said to be not only a very eccentric, but a very opiniated man. On one occasion he was animadverting upon the " wickedness," as he expressed it, of the marriage service, as prescribed by the Church of England. " Look at it," said with this ring I thee wed—that's sorhe cery ;" with my body I thee worship—that's idolatry; and with my worldly goods I thee endowAthat's a lie." �63 TBE I'Kins.

The Samoan Reporter for October, 1857, which has just been received, contains an interesting obituary notice of the Rev. Charles Wilson, who died July 3d, 1557, at Falealili, Upolu, Navigator Islands. He came out to the South Seas in 1801, although he originally left England in the Duff, which was captured by a French privateer, and taken into Rio in 1799. He labored for many years at Tahiti. It was in his house that the Rev. T. S. M'Kean was shot during a skirmish between the French and Tahitians June 30, 1844. Subsequent to that event, he removed to Upolu, Navigator Islands, where he has since resided. His missionary labors extended over a period of near sixty years. "It may gratify some persons," remarks the editor of the Reporter, "to state here that the old Tahitian missionary, Mr. Davis, a fellow passenger of Mr. W. in the Royal Admiral, and an intelligent and devoted laborer, was the last to quit the field, which he did at the call of his Master, having been removed by death on the 12th of August, 1855, aged 84. Mr. Nott, who was one of the first band of missionaries who reached Tahiti in the Duff, in 1797, died at Tahiti on the 2d of May! 1844. Mr. Henry, another of the first company, still survives, in New South Wales, in his 88th year. He is probably the last of those who prayed and labored for the salvavation of Tahiti when she was yet bent upon <*• her idols ••* Contrary to the predictions of the enemies and the expectations of the friends of the great religious awakening in the United States, it still continues to progress. The novelty of the affair has passed away, and the secular papers have less to say upon the subject, but the deep under current of religious feeling continues to flow over the land —this is manifest from the attendance upon the daily prayer-meetings. The Episcopal denomination has not hitherto, in the United States, sympathized with revivals ofreligion, and the High Church portion of that sect even now evinces opposition, but not so with the Evangelical party. The following testimony of the venerable Bishop Mcllvaine, of Ohio, to the genuineness and purity of the great revival, is worthy ofrecord : "As we stated last week," remarks the editor of the Protestant Churchman, "in the late convention address, this venerated Bishop gives a judgment at some length on the character of the late remarkable attention to religious interests and services which pervaded our country. All our own observations and reflections would unite in the same testimony with him. And we have seen nothing in the work, which would in any way detract from our view of its importance and value, or lessen our gratitude to God for the blessings which it has brought upon our land. We have no doubt there are tens of thousands of souls alive to God in Christ Jesus, who, a year ago were wanderers from his fold aod strangers to his love. And we can have no sympathy with the spirit which derides or spurns a work of God of such immeasurable worth as we deem this to have beerii" Atlantic Telegraph.—The important intelligence has been received that the Telegraph between England and America has been nearly laid.

We would acknowledge the receipt of a pamphlet, post-marked "Department of State," containing explorations of Amoor River, in a series of Letters, addressed to Ihe Secretary of State, at Washington, by P. McD. Collins, Esq. It will be recollected, by some of our readers, that this gentleman touched at Honolulu last year, en route from the Mouth of the Amoor River to the United States. This pamphlet, published under the authority of Congress, contains much valuable information respecting Russia, China, Manchooria, Mongolia, and Siberia, gathered during an overland journey from St. Petersburgh fo the mouth of the Amoor River. Mr. Collins' letter of introduction from the Secrelary of State and the American Minister at St. Petersburgh, procured facilities for traveling through the Russian Empire, which it would have been impossible for a private individual to have obtained. No amount of money would have secured him such advantages for observing the country and gathering information respecting trade and commerce. On the arrival of Mr. Collins at Jrkoutsk, Eastern Siberia, he addressed a letter, Jan. 31, 1857, to the Secretary of State, from which we copy as follows : " I take the liberty of mentioning, as it may not be uninteresting, the system of ' posting' in Russia, havinp had a good op- portunity to observe it, from Moscow to this city, a distance of over three thousand versts, and some twelve degrees more of longitude than from Boston to Astoria. This system of ' porting' was originally established by the government, for its own sole purposes : first strictly military, then followed the mail for the public, and finally for the use of travelers. There is from this to Moscow two hundred and ten stations, at which six 'troykays,' eighteen horses, are contracted for by the government to carry the mail twict a week, at three hundred rubles each troykah ' ' built per year; the stations were originally by government, and a post master appointed to reside in each. This arrangement compels the contractors to furnish the mail with the necessary horses and vehicles; the horses �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, 1858. 66 I arrived at Irkoutsk, the capital of Eastat all other times (with the exception of one troykah, which must remain always for the ern Siberia, on the 7th of January, 1857, dispatch of government couriers) are at the where I remained until the 4th of February, command of travelers, who carry what is when I proceeded to Kyachta and Mai-matcalled a ' padaroshna '—that is, an order by tschin, to witness the Chinese-Russian comthe government on the post masters ' to fur- merce conducted at those cities.

I remained in Chetah, and per horse for the distance you are to travel by in the mines of Nerchinsk, until after the " ' ' post.' This order, besides being an absolute command on the post masters' to furnish the horses required, authorizes them, in case the post-horses are employed in the transportation of the mail, to procure (command) other horses from the peasants of the villages. The system in Russia is very complete, and seems to work well, and is worthy of consideration to our government, in case a ■ post-road ' be established from our western fiontier to California. The distance from Moscow to this city is ' five thousand one hundred and thirty-eight versts;' the verst being two-thirds of our mile, will give thirtyfour hundred and twenty-six miles; this is accomplished, under ordinary circumstances, in twenty-five to thirty days, and by government couriers in fifteen to twenty days, ordinarily in sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen days. There are two hundred and ten stations, or changes of horses; this gives the average of twenty-five versts to the station— that is, each relay of horses has to run sixteen and two-third miles. Now the government pays to the contractors three hundred rubles, (silver,) two hundredymd twenty-five dollars, for each 'troykah,' (three horses,) that is, eighteen hundred rubles to each station for the service of the mails; this, multiplied by two hundred and ten, will give for carrying the mails from Moscow to Irkoutsk three hundred and seventy-eight thousand rubles, ($283,500.) The regulations posted in the stations give the passengers the right to travel eight versts per hour in the fall, twelve in winter, and ten in summer; this rate of speed you have a right to enforce. As to the couriers, they make all that the horses are capable of, and as many as twenty-eight horses have been driven to death in one voyage, the governmeut paying a stipulated price for the dead horses, twenty-five rubles each. most singular features in this " Onefromof the Moscow, such an immense disroute tance over such an immense waste of country, is the fact that it occurs less than half a dozen times that the change of horses does not take place in a city, town, or village. I have no hesitation in saying that I passed through, between this and Moscow, five hundred cities, towns, and villages. This, of course, has been thework of time'and a strong because villages are made by mperial command. But, nevertheless, there is much to be learned in this, and it might be of real service to us in solving the problem as to a post-road being the avant courier of the Pacific Railroad to unite the Mississippi with the Pacific Ocean. In performing the journey myself, I employed over seven hundred horses, because 1 frequently had four and sometimes five to my sleigh; this, with the two hundred and ten drivers, and fifteen additional postillions, say two hundred and twenty-five drivers, at a cost of three hundred and twenty-five rubles for a' troykah,' or about eight cents per mile." * * * » ' fovernment, breaking up of the ice in the river Ingodah, when, on the 18th of May, I set out for Chilkah ; from whence, early in June, in a small row boat, I started for the mouth of the Amoor, where I anived on the 10th of July.

On the 10th day of August, 1857, in the we raised St.Matgood whaleship T thews, about twenty miles distant. The sun set clear, and we anticipated a good day on the morrow. Early next morning we were close to the land, where we saw several polar bears coming down the mountains towards the beach, in search of food. At six o'clock, our captain came upon deck, and on being informed that there were no whales in sight— and seeing several bears on the island—he gave orders to get the quarter-boats ready, so that we might go on a bear hunt after breakfast. Accordingly, about eight o'clock, the boats were ready and manned by twelve brave Americans. In about twenty minutes from, the time we left the ship we were within ten rods of the beach, but the bears had left the beach and gone back to the mountains, where we did not wish to follow them. We did not despair, however, of finding one near enough to shoot at from the boats. We sailed on without seeing more than two or three, who immediately took fright on seeing us, and disappeared. We then cruised around until about four o'clock, when we saw a large bear about twenty rods from the water. The mote, cried out, " There's a fellow at the foot of sixty-seven miles, made slowly and deliberately, with a constant and scrutinizing view to the navigability by steam of these waters, I know that I am not mistaken when I say that the whole distance to the sea can be navigated by steamboats.

Captain W. fired five times in all, but did not strike the bear once. H, the boatsteerer, fired five times, distributing one pound of lead in the body of the bear, but Bruin seemed only the more inclined to fight. Our balls being now exhausted, Captain W. took a lance and prepared to go on shore "Come, H.," said Mr. R., "don't let the captain kill the bear, you have done the best so far." At this, H. took a lance and jumped on shore, and ascended the rocks in circular manner, in order to get on a rock under which the bear would have to pass as he ascended the lull. The captain ran in a direct line for the bear, until he was within about ten feet of him, when he reached out his lance and touched him; on feeling it, he turned suddenly and made a rush for Capt. W., who, seeing no chance for escape, threw down his lance and threw himself down among the rocks, where he was picked up by his crew with but a few slight injuries. The bear, on turning after the flying captain, showed his side to H., who taking advantage of the movement, darted his lance through the bear, thus saving the captain. In five minutes Bruin was no more. Six men then landed and rolled him into the water, and then they towed him to the ship, which was not more than a mile distant. We got him on board before dark. The flesh of this monster, when dressed, weighed twelve hundred pounds, and the skin, when tanned, measured twelve feet long by ten wide. This account was written by one of the crew of a ship which has but recently arrived in New Bedford from a whaling voyage, and he pledges himself that it is true in every a particular.—New Bedford Standard. Loss of Ship Wild Wave, of Boston. Ship Wild Wave, of 1550 tons, Captain Knowles, left San Francisco, February 9, 1858, bound to Valparaiso. Had easterly winds after leaving San Francisco, which forced the ship to the westward, beyond the the usual track. On the night of March 4, about one o'clock, steering south, discovered breakers on the lee bow; attempted to go about, when the ship miss-stayed, and in wearing struck on a coral reef which, by observation next day, was found to be in lat. 24° 01 S., lon. 130° 53 W. The reef surrounds an island set down on the chart as Oeno, placed in lon. 130° 35. In the mprning effected a landing on the island, which was a low lagoon island, with a small growth of brush-wood, but no inhabitants. Soon after the ship struck she bilged, and lay over on her beam-ends, the surf breaking over her. Saved a few provisions, instruments, etc. Remained on the island ten days, during which time, owing to the heavy surf, was not able to board the ship only two days. About March 14, the captain, first officer and five men left the island in a life-boat, and proceeded to Pitcairn's Island, about 75 miles distant, with the hope of falling in with a whaler. On arriving at Pitcairn's, experienced great difficulty in landing; had the boat stove in the breakers, and found the island destitute of inhabitants, these having left for Norfolk Island two years previous. Found wild goats and some vegetables growing on the island, upon which they subsisted four months. During this time, with some old tools which were found among the deserted habitations, they constructed, with great labor, a boat about thirty feet in length, fastened partly with wooden pegs and partly with iron, in which, having succeeded in launching her on the 'J3d of July, Capt. Knowles, the 1st officer and two men embarked from I'itcairn's Island for Tahiti, three men preferring to remain. Met a heavy gale from the N. W., which, lasting three days, forced them to steer for Nukahiva, Marquesas Islands, where they arrived on the 4th August. There they found the U. S. S. Vandalia, Capt. A. Sinclair, who at once received them on board and set sail for Oeno via Tahiti, leaving Papeete Aug. 12. Capt. S. and officers treated the shipwrecked party with true hospitality and made all expedition in proceeding to the rescue of those who still remained at Oeno, numbering thirty-one persons, all told. At Tahiti Capt. Knowles remained on shore, the first officer proceeding in the Vandalia to the wreck of the Wild Wave. From Tahiti Capt. Knowles came to Honolulu in the French corvette Eurydice, Capt. Pichon.— P. Com. Adv.. of Lucien Murat.

Queen Victoria Looking Younger.—An American in June last, writing from England, thus remarks: " Hearing that Qneen Victoria was to be in Birmingham, we went to that city, and saw Her Majesty, under the most favorable circumstances. The whole city was profusely decorated in honor of her visit, and her passage from place to place was a triumphal march, while a million ofpeople who had come in from the country around, shouted and sung—" God save the Queen." In the evening the whole city was splendidly illuminated. I was glad to have so good an opportunity to see a sovereign who is so justly beloved by her people. She looks younger that she did when I saw her seven years ago." Jews and the Savior.—The London Record says : It has become a fashionable practice with modern Judaism to disown, and that in the strongest terms, all feeling of hostility to the Christian religion. A letter recently appeared in one of the daily papers, in which the writer, a Jew, protests against the common belief that Jews must necessarily be the opponents of Christianity. He maintains that, so far from this being the case, the Jews are enjoined, by their most venerated authorities, highly to reverence the work of Jesus A Nice Point of Law. —I heard this an- Christ, who was one of the greatest agents ecdote, says a correspondent of an American employed by God in preparing the way for paper, from a gentleman long resident in the coming of the true Messiah."

Both the Polynesian and Advertiser furnish their readers with copies of the new Treaty. The negotiation and signing of the treaty have given rise to much discussion on both sides. We cannot but express the hope that it may result in greater benefits than its friends predict, and fewer evils than its opposers forebode. By former treaties, the French compelled the Hawniian Government to impose no duty on foreign spirits higher than 95 per gallon. The present treaty reduces the duty on spirits to $3 per gallon, but allows the Hawaiian Government to exercise its pleasure in imposing duties upon all imports. These are the main alterations ;as for the results, time must disclose. If the French expect by the change an increase in the importation of French brandy, we arc quite confident they will be disappointed. The increase, if any, we fear, will be in spirits of an inferior quality, such as New England rum and whiskey. If the French, in their zeal to regulate the brandy trade, could have banished all kinds of spirits and sent hither nothing but their " light" wines for sailors to drink, we should have been glad. If sailors and others must drink, how much better that they should confine themselves to those drinks which would not kill and brutify men to such a fearful rate. Our doctrine is "touch not, taste not, handle not" the intoxicating drinks. We have observed, however, that French sailors behave themselves much better when they come on shore from French men-of-war than from American or English. French sailors drink on ship-board, and for the most part when ashore, " light" wines, while English and American sailors will have the strongest and vilest products of the dram shop. If Naval "Boards" will not banish the "grog" tub, might they not give Jack something less killing and fiery.

In the city of New Bedford, the additions are one thousand. These accessions must add, it may reasonably be expected, to the efficiency and usefulnsss of these churches. Who that possesses the least semblance of genuine piety but must contemplate this vast national religious movement with the most lively emotions of thanksgiving and gratitude.

Leaving Whahoo, we directed our course island to the leeward, called Attcwaie; but the wind was so unfavorable that we could not weather the south part of this island ; we therefore stood along close under the north shoie, proceeding slowly to give the natives an opportunity of guessing the object of our visit. It was not long before some of the islanders came off to us; th ny requested us to anchor until thpy should return and inform their countrymen of our arrival on their coasts. Amongst these islanders, the arrival of a European vessel is an event of the first political importance ; an event in which king and people are equally concerned. The Otaheitans receive us with the satisfaction of friends; the Sandwich Islanders have reached more than one gradation higher in the scale of civilization, nnd, understanding their own interest, consider their European visitors as the importers of new arts and new skill and industry into their country. The voyage of Vancouver has made a most eminent and permanent change in the situation of the Sandwich Islanders. They have taken a leap, as it were, into civilization, and if their progress keep any pace with the vigor of their first start, they will not long be considered as savages. In the interval of waiting the arrival of our promised visitors, we fitted up our temporary marines, and made every other preparation that might make a favorable impression on the minds of the natives. A? soon as it was made known on shore that a ship had appeared off the coast with an intention to stop and take in supplies, the to another —— — Although the Island of Whahoo is one of the most fruitful in the dominions of Tamahamn, and that the natives supplied us with an abundance of all necessary articles, yet the demands of the wHhi were much higher than we had either reason to expect, or could indeed afford. The natives have indeed profited sufficiently by their intercourse with navigators to know the greater value of their country produce than at what they had hitherto rated it. One of these islanders had the modesty to demand the ship's mainsail in barter for four hogs. In all their bargains they would have their choice of whatever articles they wished to exchange, and as much of these as they wanted; no business could otherwise be done, and they returned with their wares to the shores. We were therefore obliged to confine our dealings to what was indispensably requisite for the use of the ship and crew. Here we were informed that the King Tamaha, attended by the greater part of his chiefs, was at Movie. It is the wise policy of this chief that all those who possess any authority or influence in the country, should accompany him in his progress through his dominions, that he may have them constantly under his eye, and not leave them exposed to the seductions and conspiracies of his rival chiefs. These are continually in pursuit of the means of throwing off his yoke, and rendering themselves independent as well of him and of each other, as of their former King. For this precaution, moreover, he assigns his own experience, that once being absent on an expedition to a neighboring island, an insurrection was fomented in his absence, nnd that it was not without much difficulty that he could restore his authority. Since that time he has never given the chiefs the same opportunity it is the chiefs alone he dreads, for he observes that there is no danger to be apprehended from the lower order whilst separated from the chiefs. From further information received here, Tamahama seems to be making rapid progress in his schemes of nggrandizement. After having defeated the rightful sovereign of this Island of Whahoo, and all the kings of the islands to the eastward, he has forced him, after many ineffectual struggles, to take refuge in the Island of Attowaie. Thus the sovereign authority over all these islands remains in his family, and his power and riches, from his intercourse with shipping, was hourly increasing. He was at this time making great preparations to commander-in-chief, or generalisimo, was dispatched to welcome us in the name of the king. This personage appeared in a most beautiful canoe; he seemed to be overjoyed at our arrival, and apologized on account of the lateness of the hour, for his master's not waiting on us in person. He was particularly inquisitive respecting the situation of affairs at Whahoo, and the state of the preparations made by Tamahattia ; for the threatened invasion of the island. We explained to him that however painful it was to be the messengers of disagreeable tidings, we could give him no encouragement to hope that Tamahama had laid aside hie project; for that everything seemed to show his determination to attempt it as speedily at the necessary preparations would allow. Ttiis the chief said he already had learned, and was now grieved to have the news confirmed by strangers, who had no possible interest in deluding him. It was easy to see bow much this information affected him, for from being extremely gay and communicative, as when he first came on board, he instantly became melanexterminate the fugitive king even from his choly and taciturn. He waa a near relation �70 THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, 1858. of the king, and had steadily adhered to him in all his misfortunes. They were now cooped up with a small body of faithful followers, but were firmly resolved to oppose to the utmost the attacks of Tamahama. May theefforts of theircourage and patriotism give an awful lessbn to their ambitious conqueror, that courage in a good cause, animated by despair, is a sufficient overbalance for even a greater inequality of force ! Tamaha is no unworthy imitator of his European original. His hauyhty tone to his enemies, and his genius and spirit of enterprise in creating resources which did not exist before him, may not unjustly bring him into a comparison with the Emperor of the French. To change the gloomy current of our visitor's thoughts, we exhibited before him some articles of British manufacture; he commended them, indeed, but with the air of carelessness of one whose mind was possessed with objects of a more immediate interest. He inquired frequently whether we had on board any firearms or gunpowder, in the expectation that we would furnish them with at least a small supply of each. This, however, we thought proper to decline, endeavoring to make him comprehend that our stock was far from being sufficient for ourselves, under the numberless occasions we might have of selfdefense before we could either return to our own country, or procure farther supplies. In the evening, when the captain was examining some charts of these seas, the chief looked earnestly over him, and begged that their island might be pointed out to him. This was done, and he expressed great pleasure in finding that even their little corner had not been omitted. When night came on, the chiefrequested that some covering might be provided for the natives who attended him. This was readily complied with, as we had an abundant stock ofcloth of the manufacture of Otaheite. This was extremely well received, and presented to our Otaheitans an opportunity of pointing out, with no little satisfaction, all its good qualities, as well as of displaying to the strangers the vast wealth and power of their own sovereigns, Pomarrie and Otoo ; the main point of their eloquence being to prove the prodigious superiority of Otaheite over all other quarters of the world. The long voyage they had accomplished in our ship was not forgotten ; and on this they valued themselves highly, as giving them an infinite advantage over all other islanders. The chief retired early to rest, but his attendants and their new friends from Otaheite, whose language, complexion and manners so nearly resembled their own, were too highly delighted with each other to be prevailed on until after midnight. exiled king of these islands bears a character infinitely superior, in a moral point of view at least, to that of his more powerful rival, Tamaharaa. The fidelity of former dependants in a season of misfortune and fallen power, is surely no doubtful testimony of the virtues of a conquered king ; and the virtue of this chief, if measured according to this standard, is great indeed. He appeared to be loved almost to adoration, and his authority from influence seemed to be increased almost in the some proportion as his actual power had become diminished. Is it not a phenomenon in the political world that the •jreater part of all unhappy revolutions, reto part The volts and conquests usually happen under such kings ? Is it not to the honor of the generosity of our nature that we are thus inclined to avail ourselves of that confidence and lenity which always characterizes power in the hands of a benevolent nature ? On the following morning we received a visit from this good king, and were welcomed very heartily by him to Attowaie. His skin was covered with a grayish scurf, probably occasioned by the immoderate use of theava. This loathsome disease had made a greater progress on the person of this man, than on that of any other we had before seen; although at Otaheite we had met with very severe cases of the same distemper. He labored under a great depression of spirits, and could not refrain from complaining of certain reports propagated by some Englishmen settled under his enemy, Tamahama, which had prevented several vessels from touching at his island for refreshments. He declared himself to be the fast friend of the English, and produced very favorable certificates of his conduct from several captains with whom he had dealings. From some Englishmen who had followed his fortunes for several years, this unfortunate chief had acquired such an acquaintance with our language, that he was able to understand and answer any plain question we put to him. This appeared the more extraordinary, as even the natives of Otaheite, notwithstanding their greater opportunities, have hitherto made so little progress in our language, that even the proper names of those with whom they were best acquainted, are hardly to be known in their mouths. The king was as anxious as the other chief had been, to receive accounts of his enemy's motions; and equally distressed with the information we afforded, as being fully aware of the inevitable consequences of an attack by Tamahaina. He brought off a present of yams, plantains, and a couple of hogs, assuring us that everything in the island was at our disposal. He professed a high regard for the British nation, and as a proof of it, had taken to himself the name of King George, and to his children, who were numerous, he had given those of the present royal family of England, beginning with the Prince of Wales, and descending to the youngest branch of the family. In this distribution, however, some irregularities had taken place, as his information had been procured from the English residing with him, who were not over-accurate in their genealogical knowledge. His conversation repeatedly turned to his want of firearms and gunpowder, but we contrived to avoid making any engagements on this subject. Observing the deep despondency into which the king's affairs had thrown him, our humanity averted from the idea of suffering him to have any spirits or intoxicating liquors; a present he doubtless expected, though he had the singular modesty to make no mention of it. The dilemma into which I had been in- volved at Otaheite with Edeah and her gallant, made me ever afterwards very cautious in this respect with the natives of" these islands. Their passions are naturally impetuous ; and when fed by the fuel of strong liquors, acknowledge no restraint. I know no sumVieot punishment that the wretch would merit who should import a cargo of spirituous liquors into the Sandwich or Society Islands; it would in every respect be tantamount to the willful administration of an equal quantity of poison, as the extent of the evil would only be bounded by the destruction of the whole of the population.

During the past few years " coming events have been casting their shadows before them," but now we have the event itself. By a previous mail the report reached the islands that the Telegragh Wire was nearly laid ! How anxiously have we awaited the confirmation of the news, almost too good to be true ! We have sympathized with those resolute spirits who have pushed forward this great enterprise to final and glorious success. By the Fanay Major, Capt. Paty, the glad news was brought that the Atlantic Telegraph was laid, and in successful operation. The following is reported as the first message : Europe and America are United by Telegraph On Earth, Peace Glory to God in the Highest ! and ! Good Will towards Mbn ! At the accomplishment of such an enterprise, well may the song of "the Heavenly Host," be repeated. Who does not fully believe that " peace and good will" will thereby be promoted among the nations of the earth ? The following is Queen Victoria's Message to the President of the United States : To ths Honorable tb« President or thb.Unitrd States : Her Majesty desires to congratulate the President upon the successful completion of this great International work, in which the Queen has taken the deepestinterest. 73 \m Safe, Vol. 17.

He interested others—he negotiated with governments—he aroused the press to discussions—he crossed and re-crossed the Atlantic, and fired the intelligence of both continents with hope and zeal in behalf of the great scheme. First, he obtained grants from the provincial governments of eastern British America, and secured the construction of the telegraph to Halifax, ncross the sea to New Foundland, and through that dreary island to its eastern shore. Then, the chief link—lreland to New Foundland—was to be forged; but we need not repeat the story. The English and American governments heard his earnest appeals, and granted money and ships; and British private capital was freely yielded to his enthusiasm and confidence. The long history of experiments on land and ocean; of last year's trial, and the great revulsion in popular faith after its failure, are fresh in every mind. But the master spirit was not discouraged, nor dismayed—his New York house went down under " the crash of worlds," last fall, and ruin stared him in the face. People began to talk of him as they would of a friend losing his mind—sympathizingly, sorrowingly, sadly. But, undaunted, he kept on—once twice, thrice, the cable parted—the public uttered its last sigh, and forgot the whole enterprise; yet again, the vessels sailed, marshaled by this Yankee leader of undying pluck, to mid-ocean, and connecting once more the ends of their respective wires, they parted on their paths to glory. The world was startled, as by a clap of thunder in a clear sky, by the plain, business dispatch that announced the successful completion of the great enterprise, and the name that closed that despatch was imprinted by lightning stroke upon the face of the earth for ever. The cable was laid, and Cyrus W. Field was a hero. celebrations over the success of the Atlantic we are confident the people of Honolulu Telegraph.

When the fast boat disappeared, the " waif," or flag, was set as the signal of a fa>t boat, and she went in with colors flying at the mast-head. Occasionally, a glimpse could be obtained of the boats as they darted across some narrow opening, >md were again lost to view—now pulling, anon paddling now veering out line to avoid some large pjfee of ice—then hauling in to get upon the whale, formed an exciting scene. In an hour's time it became apparent that the whale had taken all their lines, which they were compelled to give him, as he run under extensive fields of ice, when frequently up shot a column of dark red blood, in deep contrast with the bright snowy background. It was evident that the fatal lance, with unerring aim, had touched the vital part, and as the blood spouted forth as from a fountain, we began to call him ours. Fainter and fainter grew the scarlet tinted jets, until nothing but the ice appeared in view, and then a partial glimpse of the boats, but no whale. Suspense now became painful, and every eye was strained to catch one glance of him —the glass from the mast-head was directed again and again to the spot, and every opening carefully scanned, but to no purpose, and the general impression was that, in his death-throes, he had come up under some large field of ice, and was a total loss to us; but soon the cheering cry came from aloft, " I see the boats —they are hauling up—he has sink." It appeared that the crew of the fast boat supposing him to be dead, pulled up to him, and the officer in charge commenced opening his lip with a boat-hook; his Whaleship not relishing such uncourteous treatment, rallied his expiring strength, and caught the boat between his fins, rolling and tossing her about, at the same time sweeping with his ponderous flukes from right to left, to the imminent peril of both the boat and crew, as he writhed in the agony of death. Luckily the boat was but partially stove, and the crew uninjured, although stirred up with the the tallest kind of poker. When he expired the weight of the lines carried him down, but his determined captors were not thus to be baffled of their prize—with great labor and exertion, they succeeded in hauling him to the surface, when he floated lightly. Both boats, with their waifs flying, commenced towing him through the vast field of ice, when the Captain sent another boat to assii-t in towing, he having been an attentive observer of their manoeuvres for the last four hours, with glass in hand—and in two hours afterwards, we had the fluke chain on him. Ship Saratoga. Yours truly, — Letter from New Bedford by an old Shipmaster. New Bedford, Aug. 18, 1858. Dear Friend :—lt is only through the columns of the Friend that I ever hear from you. That comes regularly to hand, and that never fails to bring its accustomed blessing. I have thought perhaps a line from your old friend would not come amiss. Do not think you are forgotten by me, although three years have rolled nway since I took my departure from your delightful shores. No, it is with pleasure that I think, and sometimes hear from, my Honolulu friends. lam enjoying a long season at home, surrounded by my family and many kind friends. I have enjoyed almost uninteruptcd health, and scarcely a single cloud has passed over the horizon of my happiness. I feel that lam ungrateful and unworthy of the many blessings which our kind Heavenly Parent is constantly bestowing upon me. The greatest blessing of all is, He has renewed my old, and almost last, hope of a glorious immortality beyond the grave. The last eight months have been days lone to be remembered by me. You have seen accounts in all the papers of the great revivals in this country; but to realize how great it has been, you must have needs been here—I have shared in it. I thought I would give some account of what has been doing among seamen from this port, as that will probably interest you the most. In the early stage of the revival, there was a manifest interest among the shipmasters and officers at home, but few seunen were then at home, or during the winter months. When the spring months opened, a number of shipmasters and officers had given their hearts to God; others who had long indulged a hope were renewed in spirit, and were now anxious that something might be done for the welfare of the sailor. Among them I might mention Capt. C, Capt. X., Capt. H., Capt. W., Capt. M., Capt. C, Capt. 8., Mr. S., Mr. R. They are probably all known to you. The first step taken was. to endeavor to revive the old Monday's evening prayeT-meeting at the Bethel. A number of the above-mentioned shipmasters and others (not to forget some Christian sisters who labored faithfully) pledged themselves to assist in sustaining it. The result was, that God's blessing rested upon the efforts put forth, and in a short time, the interest had so increased that it it was thought advisable to hold meetings on Saturday evenings also, and many kind, warm-hearted Christian friends, who felt an interest in the sailor at heart, came in to aid with their prayers and counsel. Seamen began to feel they had some friends in New Bedford who cared for the welfare of Many are led by their vices, but many their souls. God heard the prayers that follow without any leading at all. were offered for the sailor, and soon some of ■" 8& 8 . 75 THE TRIE NO, OCTOBER, 1 them became anxious for their own soul's welfare, and manifested it in a decided manner, by requesting the prayers of Christians. At the spring months advanced, the interest increased, and many of the seamen, as they arrived upon the shores, found a welcome in the Bethel, and found a Saviour to their souls. Some who were about going to sea again were anxious to settle the question of so much importance before embarking on their ocean-home. We have often seen eight and ten rise up of an evening, anxious for their soul's welfare. Written requests have been received at the Bethel signed hy almost all the seamen in the forecastle of some ships that were lying in the stream, to sail the next day. On board of one a meeting was established in the forecastle the evening before sailing, by four praying seamen—and we hope to hear favorable reports from them in thefuture. Some young men who have come here to go to sea have embraced the Saviour before venturing upon their ocean-home, and it has rejoiced the hearts of all to see the weather-heardened cheek of the sailor softened with the tears of repentance. Some twenty five or thirty seamen from the Bethel have given evidence of their acceptance with God, and gone down upon the ocean. Very many have become interested, and requested the prayers of Christians, who have gone away without giving the evidenceof a regeneration of heart, but earnest prayer is ascending daily in their behalf, and we expect ere long, to hear glad tidings from the ocean. I often think what a pleasure it will be for them to visit Honolulu, and spend an hour with you in your study, they will need much of your Christian counsel and instruction, and I know that it will be the pleasantest duty in your life to lead an anxious sailor to the Saviour. The work is still going on, and the interest at the Bethel has not in the least abated. The Sabbath school is under the superintendence of Mrs. Phipps, a kind, Christian lady, who has long labored earnestly and successfully for the welfare of seamen in New Bedford. 1 wish you could be privileged to attend one of our evening prayer-meetings at the Bethel. It would rejoice your heart to hear the mothers who have sons upon the ocean, pleading for their souls—the earnest shipmaster recommending religion to their seafaring friends as something which they all need, and as well adapted to meet the wants of the sailor—and others of all classes repeating to them the story of the cross, and the whole interspersed with some of the soulstirring songs which have sprung up in the days of revival and rejoicing. Elder Howe is deeply interested in the work, and his long Christian experience of more than fifty years, makes him an able counselor, and well calculated to lead a soul to Christ. Hi* labors have been more than his health will admit of, and he is at present away from his field of labor. I expect that many who have gone out from our Bethel will find a home in yours, and your Sailors' Home will be a retreat for them where, in a measure, they will be protected from the snares of the adversary. �76 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1868. THE FRIEND. OCTOBKR 13. 1858 Mr. Andrew Garrett, the Naturalist. tSome eleven years ago, in our visits the ships in the harbor of Honolulu, ong we met an American sailor whoattracted our attention by his enthusiasm in collecting shells, and making accurate drawings of the numerous specimens in his possession. He was then before the mast on board the E, L. B. Jenny, Capt. Allen, a sperm whaleship. We recollect to have accompanied him to the forecastle, and beheld, with delight, the collection which he had already made. In reply question " Why did you ship before c mast?" he answered, "In order to study conchology." Years have elapsed, and now it is our privilege to meet Mr. Garrett, the sailor. We are happy to , during the years which have insince our first interview, he has been nd constantly engaged in the study 1 History in its various departments logy, botany, icthyology, entomoloology, &c. He is now employed by the most learned Naturalist of the age, Professor Agassi/., of Cambridge University, Massachusetts, to collect specimens of all the fish in the waters around the Sandwich Islands. Already he has succeeded in collecting about 200 different varieties, and is preparing colored drawings of the same. We have seen specimens of these drawings, and are impressed with their life-like appearance. Mr. G. informs us that the celebrated Naturalists of the United States are preparing to publish extensively upon the natural history of the Sandwich Islands. Prof. Agassiz is collecting materials for the department of icthyology; Prof. Gould, of conchology; Prof. Dana, of Crustacea, &c. During the last few months Mr. Garrett has been collecting specimens on Kauai, having previously spent some three or four years on Hawaii engaged in the same pursuit. Last year, Mr. G. visited Tahiti and made valuable collections of the numerous specimens in Natural History, to be found on the Society Islands. All these were carefully prepared, boxed and shipped on board the illfated John Gilpin. Of course all were lost. A small insurance of 8300 was paid, but this amount was far below the real value of the collection. Mr. G. mentions one fact in regard to the names of the fish at the Society Islands which is interesting in the way of determining the common origin of the Society and Sandwich Islanders. Mr. Q. asserts that many of the fish around the Society Islands correspond with those around this group, and that the inhabitants of both groups call them by similar, if not the same, names. We do fthe Pical not remember ever to have seen this fact mentioned in any works upon the origin of the people of Polynesia. It suggests a train of investigation which will, doubtless, lead to interesting and important results. In concluding our remarks, we would merely add that, it afforded us much pleasure to learn that Mr. G. wns remarkably successful in collecting conchological specimens while attached to the E. L. B. Jenny. He took home with him more than twenty cases of shells, collected in all parts of the Pacific. The voyage lasted four years and a half. Capt. Allen kindly afforded him every facility for gathering and preserving his large collection. This was exceedingly praiseworthy on Capt. Allen's part, and we nere take pleasure in bearing our testimony to the Captain's generosity and kindness to his conchological Some of our island readers may be gratified to learn that Mr. E. Bailey, of Wailuku, Maui, reached the United States in the latter part of July, via Sydney, on board the India, Capt. Rice, which sailed from Honolulu in January last.

Waimea, Sept. 10, 1858. Dear Brother Damon :—The author of that supposed to be hyperbolical representation of some waterfall in Hawaii, quoted in the last Friend, is entitled to something more than a half belief in his statements. I know of one fall, and that is in Waipio, the height of which, from the base, or the basin into which it discharges some of its contents, is imperceptible, i.e., it is so high you can't see the top of it. It must be at least 2000 fact high—and may be 2500 feet. It is a fact that, except when the stream above it is swollen by heavy rains, much of the water of the descending sheet dwindles into a mist or vapor, and disappears before it reaches the bottom. This, however, is occasioned by the agency of the strong winds that pervade that region, aided by the heat of the sun. It is a wondeifulfall anyway—and if any one doubts it, or doubts my statements, let him go and see for himself, i.e., if he can succeed in getting there. I never made the attempt, but once, and don't wish to make it again. It is rather too hazardous. There may be other falls on the island much higher than this. Let others answer that question. Hawaii is productive of prodigies, legendary, physical, mental, ecclesiastical, &c. Yours very truly, L. Lyons. Sapient Musings of a San Francisco Editor. " The Atlantio Telegraph Cable is laid ! Another nerve beats in the heartof humanity. The Almighty will now speak to his children from pole to poll, from antipode to antipodt! " We wonder how this sage Californian has learned that the Almighty will employ the Atlantic Telegraph to speak with his children ! If the children of men communicate with the Almighty, must they pay a dollar a word ? The missionaries from America have always told us, in this out-of-the-way part of the world, that the Almighty has spoken to his children in the Bible, the works of Nature and Providence, but they have never intimated that He would employ the Atlantic Cable for making known His mind to mortals ! As one of the missionaries is now visiting the coast, we hope he will come back fully posted up in regard to the improvements of the age. A Crab Eating Cocoanuts. the following remarks respecting this species of crab, in Darwin's Naturalist's Voyage— page 462: " I have before alluded to a crab which lives on the cocoanuts : it is very common on all parts of the dry land, and grows to a monstrous size: it is closely allied or identical with the Birgos latro. The front pair of legs terminate in very strong and heavy pincers, and the last pair are fitted with others weaker and much narrower. It would at first be thought quite impossible for a crab to open a strong cocoanut covered with the husk : but Mr. Liesk assures me that he has repeatedly seen this effected. The crab begins by tearing the husk, fibre by fibre, and always from that end under which the three eye-holes are situated; when this is completed, the crab commences hammering with his heavy claws on one of the eye-holes till an opening is made. Then turning round its body, by the aid of its posterior and narrow pair of pincers, it extracts the white nlluminous substance. I think this is as curious a c;ise of instinct as ever I heard of, and likewise of adaptation in structure between two objects apparently so remote from each other in the scheme of nature, as a crab and a cocoanut tree. The Birgos is diurnal in its habits ; but every night it is said to pay a visit to the sea, no doubt for the purpose of moistening its branchia?. The young are likewise hatched, and live for some time on the coast. These crabs inhabit deep burrows, which they hollow out beneath the roots of trees; and where they accumulate surprising quantities of the picked fibres of the cocoanut husk, on which they rest as on a bed. The Malays sometimes take advantage of this, and collect the fibrous mass to use as junk. These crabs are very good to eat; moreover, under the tail of the larger ones, there is a great mass of &t, which, when melted, sometimes yields as much as a quart bottle full of limpid oil. It has been stated by some authors that the Birgos crawls up the cocoanut trees for the purpose of stealing the nuts: I very much doubt the possibility of this ; but with the Pandanus the task would be very much easier. I was told by Mr. Liesk that on these islands the Birgos lives only on the nuts which have fallen to the ground. Captain Moresby informs me that this crab inhabits the Chagos and Seychelle groups, but not the neighboring Maldiva archipelago. It formerly abounded at Mauritius, but only a few small ones are now found there. In the Pacific, this species, or one with close allied habits, is said to inhabit a single coral island, north of the Society group. To show the wonderful strength of the front pair of pincers, I may mention that Captain Moresby coufined one in a strong tin box, which had held biscuits, the lid being secured with wire; but the crab turned down the edges and escaped. In turning down the edges, it actually punched many holes quite " 7 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1868. Naval.—The U. S. steamship Merrimac arrived at our port on the 12th.

By late papers we learn that a Post Captain in command of a squadron, is to be called Flag Officer, corresponding to the rank: of an English Admiral. He flies his broad pennant of the blue at the mizzen. Remarkable Coincidence.—When Flag Officer Long, now commanding the U. S. Pacific Squadron, visited Honolulu, in March 1843, the great comet was then shining with great brilliancy. His present visit is marked by a comet of nearly equal size and brilliancy. Among the officers attached to the Merrimac, we are happy to see reported the names of some, whose former visits are cherished in pleasing remembrance, by many in Honolulu. It is much to be regretted that the Merrimac draws 24 feet of water, two or three more than will allow a vessel to cross the bar. Notice.—The Rev. Charles A. of the Merrimac, will preach Chaplain Davis, at the Bethel, morning and evening, on the coming Sabbath. Religious Washington's Only Mistake.—The Paris correspondent of the New York Timet relates the following anecdote. The late Washington Ball at the American Legation, in this city, was the subject of a bon mot dropped by the French Minister of War. It is quite amusing, and worthy to be noted. The Minister, Marshall Yalliant, remon strated with Mr. Mason previous to the ball on the inappropriateness of giving a fete during Lent, and asked if it was not a mistake ? If it is a mistake," replied Mr. Mason, "it "was Washington who made it—for it is Ate and the ball is given in honor of birth-day, through the tin!" the event." Marshall, «' Oh, that is it!

Bonnay had three sons in France, who claimed thjs amount from the company; but they failed to discovor the certificate of their father's birth, and were consequently unsuccessful in their claim, and they possessed no funds wherewith, to prosecute a lawsuit. Since that time about 600 families of the same name had laid claim to the inheritance, without success. It appears that a lady, a fri«nd of one of the descendants of the three sons above mentioned, determined to prosecute fresh inquiries into the matter. She succeeded, with some difficulty, in obtaining a view of the register of the year 1814 of the town of Chuyer, the birthplace of old Bcnnay. In vain, however, did she search in it for the certificate of his birth, when, as she was about to close the book in despair, her fingers touched a page which seemed thicker than From the Pacific Commercial Ad vertIter, Oct. 7.

Letters from Rev. H. Bingham, who is stationed at Apian. Kingsmill Group, dated in March, report a battle as having recently taken place on that island. He says:"On the 19th of February an army of savages in 100 canoes came upon our island from Tarawa, (Knox Island.) At first everything indicated that the attack would take place about our own premises. But our Heavenly Father spared us from witnessing the bloody battle, which occurred six miles to the south-east of us, in which the Kings of both islands were killed, besides fortythree Tarawanß, (six of them being females,) whom we counted on or near the battle field, and sixteen of our own people.

The Railroad has been In regular and successful operation for more than two years, and Its capacity for the transportation of every description of merchandise, including Oil, Provisions, &c., has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently been turned to the subject of shipping their oil from Panama to New York during the present seaaon, and the Panama Rail-Road Company has made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishment of this important object. A Pier, 460 feet long, has been built in the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars arerun to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside of vessels at Asplnwall. Vessels of from 200 to 300 tons can lie at the Pier with safety, grounding in the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Asplnwall are fast-sailing brigs, be longing to the Rail-Road Company, and the Company Is pro pared to receive oil at Panam* and deliver it in New York under through Bills of Lading at the rate of seven centl per gallon, if received at the Pier, and eight cents per gallon if received in the harbor from ahlp's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. For whalebone, one and one-half cents per pound. This charge covers every expense from Panama to New York, in case theoil is sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent of the Panama Rail-Road Company, insurance excepted. The freights may be made payable on the Isthmus or in New York at the option of the shipper. Thevessels of the Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and theaverage passages to and from Aspinwail are about twenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied In crossing the Ishmus it four hours. Oil, during its transit across theIsthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and owners may be aasured that every care will be takentoprevent leakage. Several cargoes have already been conveyed to New York without the slightest lost. Oil or other goods consigned fortransportation to the Superor to William intendent of the Panama Rail-Road Company, Yeleon,Commercial Agent ofthe Company at Panama, will be received and forwarded with the greatest despatch. tr Frederic L.

Bristol Bat, August 23,1868. Wettkst :—Being off Gore's the 2d of this month, sent two boats in to cruise down the northern shore, while the ship would run along the south side, to meet them at theS. E. extremity of the land. When they returned on board, they reported having seen the wreck of a whalesbip on the north shore, but so much broken up thatit was impossible to ascertain anything definite concerning it. An avalanche of earth and rocks covered a part. There was a considerable quantity of bowhead boneand some right whalebone lying there. Some of the former they brought off; it was but little chafed, and the hair still on; even the gum on some slabs was still to be seen. The martingale stays, which were chain, were but little rusted, and apparently new; the gammon lashing, which they also brought off, was composed of threeban ofiron—two curved for the sides of the bowsprit, the other straight for the upper part ; the lower end of the side pieces connected by a bolt which passed through thehead, ill joints secured with nut and screw. The straight bar waa newer than the rest, and very little rust on any part ofit. All therope they saw waa of American manufacture, and the sails were made of cotton duck, composition thimbles and monkeu-face (Iron) clews. They brought off a hoarding knife, a carving knife, and a kind of spear set In a hickory pole. These are all the particulars, and I leave it for wiser heads than my own to decide what ship It must have been, premising only that no ship has been lost for a number of years in these seas, except the IndianChief, In August, 1867 and she was lost 600 miles north of Gore's Island ; still, It must be her I think. I shall forward the gammon lashing to Thomas Spencer, Esq., Honolulu, forrecognition. Anyperson who ever saw that, would undoubtedly know It again. Yours, W. Xaal, Masterbark Jireh Swift. XT Capt. Slocum, of the Saratoga, reports having left the Antic the last of August—few ships to be seen then. Whales were very plenty, bat the weather so rough thatU was impossible to secure them. Says that, with a week ofgood weather, he would have stowed a thousand barrels. It is possible the vessels that staidlater may have found better weather. Smr Rapid, Csft.

It was blowing a gale at the time. Capt. Taylor supposed It to have been a coaster from these islands, but we have lost none such. XT Ship Adeline Gibbs reports having cruised in the Kodiack, Bristol Bay and Arctic. Took three small whales f6O barrels) on theKodiack. Saw no whales in Bristol Bay or the Arctic. Left Kodiack Island for Honolulu Sept. 4. About Bty Sept.. first saw the comet nearly under the north star, and verb faint—has been Increasing in slse every night. June 30, lost a man overboard by the name of George Steel. He came out from home as steward, and, after leaving Honolulu April 9, put him in cook. Thecircumstances ofhis death are as follows i On the morning of the30th, as the Captain and officers were at breakfast, this cook stabbed one of theboat-steerers in thewaist. It seems, as was afterwards learned, they had some disturbance In the morning, and the cook took the opportunity while the officers were at breakfast, to have revenge. Hisintentions were to kill the seaman—but forhis thick clothesand one of the ribs, he would certainly have doneit. One oftheboatsteerers, who was on deck at the time, came and called the captain and told him that the cook had stabbed a man. At that instant, the cook hearing it, jumped overboard. The ship, at the time, was going nine knots, and as soon as possible, a boat was lowered, but before it could reach him he went down, holding the knife still in his hand. He had many times, during the voyage, threatened to kill and poison all hands,and finallymade theattempt. July 13th, buried a kanaka In Ounlmak Straits, after a sickness of six weeks. He belonged to Maui. XT Ship Caroline, left the Ochotsk Sept 2, had a good deal of foggy weather ; reports 66 ships in June, which will be found in our list Bark Mskctst, or Nsw Bedford, Retorts :—Off Bougansvllle In lat 6 s 8., long. 166° E., Dec. 23d, 1867 ; was struck with lightning, which took off the main-royal mast clean, and shattered themain topgallant mast very bad, and also the head of the maintop mast, and likewise the main mast badly; from thence the lightning came down into the pumps, but as the pumps were full of water up to the spouts, it did no other damage about deck, but it went overboard on the larboard side in the waist, which took off a piece ofsheathing-boardand some copper. Feb. 26,1568, in lat. 2 s 30 N., long. 170° 30 E., picked up a canoe upwards of 100 miles from any land, with 13 persons on board—men, women and children—left to themercy of God and the waves, without a paddle or an oar to help themselves with, and nothing eatable or drinkable on board of their little vessel. They were most kindly and hospitably received on board bark Mercury by Capt. Hayden, who handed them safe on Oovel's Island on the oth of March. Died on board bark Mercury, May 26,1868, Waiau, a native ofKaawa Waibi.

Thoughts for the Thougtful. life learn thou betimes, to know. " To measure Toward solid good what leads tho nearest way ; For other things mild Heaven ordains And disapproves that care, though wise in show, That with superfluous burden loads the day, And when God sends a cheerful hour, refraius." Milton I was much pleased the other day with a remark I met with in reading, that perhaps " the great evil of our day is the so apparent feeling in all classes that to tcork, to be incessantly employed, is the great duty, almost the great end of life," enforced by a quotation from Aristotle, to the effect that " the end of labor is to have leisure." It is per- haps to be expected that merely and meanly •elfish men, wholly engrossed in the pursuit of gain, or of some low object of selfish ambition, should follow it so closely as to dwarf their souls as they often injure their bodies. But it sometimes makes a thoughtful man feel sad to see men who appreciate soul culture and know the rational ends of living— and not only these, but large numbers of really sincere Christians who truly desire to live for the health and salvation of their souls, getting themselves so beset with cares, so haunted with the demon of unfinished business," that theirthoughts and" sympathies can no more escape from the dark shade its presence gives their lives thnn a sattelite from the influence of its planet. All spontaneous vitality is repressed, and after a time killed. There is no flow of thought or feeling in the soul. The same person who, before the cares of maturity pressed upon, and, by his own cowardice, slew him, would have found food for pleasant meditation perhaps for hours in a work of art, or enjoyed with eager zest the mutual intercourse and innocent pleasures of social life—after a few years finds in himself no corresponding chord to answer to these and the thousand other voices by which his Maker, through nature and through humanity ever strives to enlarge and quicken his soul's life. He thinks perhaps that " the world has grown dead and dry," when it is only himself who has dxied up from sheer neglect or wilful refusal to allow his faculties time to feed upon the fitting food which Heaven has everywhere provided for them. Perhaps, if a religious man, in his devotion to business whether secular or other, he has deemed himself actuated by the best of motives. "Time is a talent" « Every moment of life ought to be improved." "Do good alway"—and much more to the same effect he has said to himself—all as true as the Bible ; and so he has marked out his time into little circles of daties, and has conscientiously striven to fill them all, saying constantly to himself " now I must discharge this duty—and now this;" but he has forgotten one great duty that he owes to his own soul, and has entirely neglected to put down for each day an hour or two in which to forget thathe has any duties —when his mind may run free from care, in quiet meditation or in undisturbed pursuit of some favorite soul-expanding study—an hour or two during which he may throw up the windows of his soul and let the light and the air of God's infinite universe of thought penetrate it till the little circle of his own petty life, and the everlasting " my duty" and " my this and that" vanish before the presence of something greater than all to which that pronoun can be applied; so keeping his powers of wonder and admiration, and perchance adoration, alive and fresh, and with them are unforced and spontaneous cheerfulness, humility and simplicity, as different from the sham articles forced on under "a sense of duty" as a living body is from a galvanized corpse. His very Sabbaths are marked out too often with the same great oversight, and so month after month passes without the soul's obtaining a glimpse of God's works and ways free from the consciousness of the importance of its own works, its view being constantly darkened by its own shadow. Methinks we make here a woeful mistake, and, indeed, commit a great sin, for which we can make no better excuse than the one He made for his murderers, and which, perchance He may make for us, soul-murderers as we are— " They know not what they do." We have, in these latter days, come to have some notion ofthe importance of physical health, and are learning to regard its preservation as a great religious duty. When shall we begin to have some notion of what constitutes psy- chical health—or the health of the soul—and to feel that its preservation is as much more a duty, as the soul is worthier than the body. Doubtless, many good people if asked why it is a duty to preserve the health of the body would answer, "because we can so work longer in the world—and God placed us here to work." Now good people, if 1 read the Scriptures rightly, God did not place us here to work—he placed us here to grow—and he gave us sound bodies (originally, whatever we may have made of them since) that they might be organs for healthy souls—and with those organs the souls might develop into something like fitness of spirit and fitness of mind for union unto and communion with Him. That with a sense of their own weakness and impotence to free themselves from an evil and self-seeking spirit they might boldly and freely depend, with constant supplication, on Him for a spirit of love and good-will to be in them—a fountain of life to head and heart; and that they,might read and interpret His Word uttered to them in all nature and human life, and in the structure of their own souls; growing in knowledge as in grace, in order to be prepared in the next JEon of existence to worship, apprehend, praise and serve Him more worthily, and free from the distractions of evil—to repose in a still more rapid growth. He does demand of us growth of soul, and so far as we distort, or maim, or cripple that growth, we defraud Him. Now soul certainly does not consist merely in the moral sense the appreciation of holiness and the contrary, or conscience, though this be its pith and heart, any more than the human body consists of brain and spinal marrow—but in Milton's definition of Fancy and understanding, whence the soul Kcason receives, and Reason is her being, Discursive or intuitive." " all the faculties, memory, the rational imagination, the discursive reason—all the intellectual powers and energies as well as the feelings and affections belong to the essence of the soul, and its health requires a symmetrical development and spontaneous life and activity in all. How, good people, shall we retain or attain it where hardly a free and spontaneous impulse of heart or mind is permitted ? One would think that we expected at death to slough over pur souls with our bodies, and come out free from all the consequences of our mental mis-development here below. I can find in Scripture no warrant for any such thought. We may be forgiven, and we may find peace and joy,and satisfaction according to our measure, and it nevertheless be true that we shall know that it is our own fault, and a great sin, thatthat measure is so small, and our power of apprehending works and ways so little. But it is said, perhaps, " there is so much in the world to do, and so little time to do it in ; how can we pause for quiet meditation, or the easy indulgence of natural feeling and affection—we must keep doing." Dear sits! is this your world, or God's ? True, He has given you a portion of it take care of—but do you think He gave you any more than He knew you could take care of well ? Do you suppose that when He gave you that portion that by the experience gained therein your souls might grow intofitness for worship and communion with Him, He meant you to so absorb yourself in the work as to lose the object of it, to not even gainexperience. For mere suffering, the passage of events, is not experience—that only comes from the mediation upon consideration of events which makes the soul expert. What experience can a fool have for instance ? Again, how can you do your work well when you are day by day dulling and spoiling its instrument, i.e., yourself. You, perhaps, cannot see where you fall short, when Heaven sees, and a future retrospect will show you most lamentable results in the souls of all around you from your having been over " cumbered with much serving." Can you tell the effect for instance on the minds of your children, produced by the absence of a little genial and natural flow �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 18 58. of thought or spirits which the constant pressure of the day's duties has repressed, and no careless hour has brought to life again ? Or, can you calculate the effect on them of a casual remark, or reproof, or remonstrance, which, had your own mind been a little more sensible of how spontaneous all life must be that is life at all, you would never have made ? No ! our only safety is in not defrauding our own souls of that free and fitting meditation and recreation which their health requires—and time so spent is wisely spent. Some people seem to be afraid to trust their souls out into the open air without peeping out of the door to watch them—to feel as if to turn their minds loose for a few minutes to gambol at will was giving them up to the Evil One. "Ohye of little faith," you can trust your Maker's guard during the repose of the body—but not during the equally repose of the soul! You can pray ily for the indwelling of His Spirit, and t not be able to trust Him and His promises to preserve you from evil for an hour ! When shall we learn that our spiritual safety lies not in resolving and struggling, but in simply loving and trusting. Let us remember that though we leave our mortal bodies behind us at death, we take our souls with us just as they are—and that while wisdom bids us " learn to measure life," and not so much live to work, as work to live—our Maker desires from us souls not dwarfed, or distorted, or paralyzed in any of their faculties of thought or feeling by the discipline of His provi- Icessary dence here; but souls quickened, enriched and enlivened in all their powers of rational activity and enjoyment into a fitness for the most joyous and intelligent worship and service of which He made them capable; souls which that discipline has cultivated, not Could we bear this more constantly in mind, and starve our souls somewhat less in consequence, methinks we should find in even this mortal life far more of a " sacred and home-felt delight," a "sober certainty of waking bliss" than now. Q. Swearing. The following waif, which we find uncredited in an exchange, would seem to be from a female pen. It is a shame that the best things said by the best writers are thus stolen and hawked about by everybody, with out a scruple of conscience: "Our National Disgrace.—ls there any country besides ourown, where the Almighty is so often called upon to send to perdition the souls of those who offend each other ? Everywhere, that horrid imprecation, so familiar that it is unnecessary to shock you by writing it, meets the pained ear. I say pained, because I, for one, cannot abhor it less on account of its frequency, or consider it less disgusting because filtered through aristocratic lips. Everywhere it pursues me; in crowded streets, in omnibuses, and, I am sorry to say, in retirements which should afford a lefuge from the disgusting habit. " From old men, whose toothless lips mumble it almost inarticulately, from those who would resent to the death any question of their claim to the title of gentlemen; from young men, glorious else, in the strength and vigor of youth; and sadder still, from little children, who have caught the trick, and bandy curses at their sports. An oath from a child's lips ! One would as soon expect a thunderbolt Irom out of the heart of a rose. And yet there are those who deliberately teach little children to swear, and think it sport, when the rosy lips, with childish grace, lisp the demoniac lesson. "An oath from a woman's lips! With shuddering horror we shrink away, and ask what bitter wrong, suffering and despair, man has doomed her to drink deep to the dregs, ere she could so belie her womanhood. " One lovely moonlight night, I was returning late from the opera, with a gentleman friend; the delicious tones I had heard still floating through my charmed brain. Suddenly, from out a dark angle in a building we passed, issued a woman, old, not in years, but in misery, for her long brown hair curtained a face whose beauty had been its direst curse. To my dying day, I shall never forget the horrid oaths of that wretched woman, as she faced the moonlight and me. Perhaps I had evoked some vision of happier days, when she, too, had a protecting arm to lean upon; sure I am, could she have read my heart, she would not have cursed me. Oh, the dreadful reckoning to be required at the hands of him who defaced this temple of the living God, and left it a shapeless, blackened ruin!" The Foot of a Horse.—The human hand has often been taken to illustrate Divine wisdom—and very well. But have you ever examined your horse's foot ? It is hardly less curious, in its way. Its parts are somewhat complicated, yet their design is simple and obvious. The hoof is not, as it appears to the careless eye a mere solid lump of insensible bone, fastened to the leg by a joint. It is made up of a series of thin layers, or leaves of horn, about five hundred in number, nicely fitted to each other, and forming a lining to the foot itself. Then there are as many more layers belonging to what is called the " coffin bone," and fitted into this. These are elastic. Take a quire of paper, and insert the leaves, one by one, into those of another quire, and you will get some idea of the arrangement of these several layers. Now the weight of the horse rests on as many elastic springs as there are layers in his four feet— about four thousand—and all this is contrived, not only for the easy conveyance ofthe horse's own body, but of human bodies, and whatever burdens may be laid upon him.—American Agriculturist. A religious life is not a thing which spends itself. It is like a river which widens continually, and is never so broad or so deep as at its mouth, where it rolls into the ocean of eternity. It was the saying of Sir Robert Peel: never knew a man to escape failure either I " in body or mind, who worked seven days in 91 Sorrow on.the Ska.—The iron steamship Austria, from Hamburg, having on board freight, mostly of silks and velvets, valued at $850,000, and about 600 persons, mainly Germans, emigrating to America, caught fire Sept. 13, from culpable negligence in fumigating the steerage with burning tar, and was totally destroyed, only 89 of those on board being saved. The loss of life is greater than has occurred in any previous disaster to ocean steamers, through the panic and overpowering terror that prevailed, although it was furnished with ample means for rescuing most on board. The Austria is the eleventh ocean steamer that has been lost since the Atlantic steamships began to run in 1838. Those lost are the following: the President, with 130 lives ; Arctic, with 300; Pacific, with 240; San Francisco, with 160; Central America, with 387; Independence, with 140 ; Yankee Blade, with 75; City of Glasgow, with 420; Tempest, with 150; Lyonnais, with 160 ; and the Austria, with 511—making a total of 2,673 lives that have been lost, while the value of the vessels and cargoes is estimated at $ 10,500,000. The President, Pacific, City of Glasgow, and Tempest were never heard from ; the Arctic, SanFrancisco, and Central America foundered; the Independence and Yankee Blade were wrecked ; and the Lyonnais was sunk by a collision. The Crystal Palace Destroyed.—This beautiful and costly edifice of iron and glass, erected in 1853 in the upper part of the city of New York for the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, was totally destroyed by fire, Oct. 6. So rapid was the spread of the flames, that in fifteen minutes from the time the fire wa« discovered, the large and beautiful dome, a striking land-mark from every approach to the city, fell, completing the work of destruction. There were in the building a number of valuable works of statuary and art, retained since the World's Fair. The thirteenth annual exhibition of the American Institute was also in progress, in which there was a large and valuable collection of objects of art and industry, nearly all of which were destroyed. — Providential Care of the Waldenses. During a cruel persecution of the Waldenses by the Church of Rome, Oliver Cromwell called for a collection in Great Britain to relieve their necessities. This was so heartily responded to that after their wants were met, a surplus remained in the British treasury, which it was agreed by the Government should be set apart for the support of the Waldenses pastors, it not being needed for the original purpose. Each of their sixteen pastors accordingly receives £40 annually from the Bank of England. Another part of their support comes from the confiscation of property belonging to the Church ofRome which Napoleon made over to them. After Napoleon's overthrow this arrangement was permitted to remain undisturbed, and in consequence each of the pastors receives £20 a year; thus having £60, or S3OO a year provided for them ia this singular way. The first religious newspaper issued was the Herald of Gospel Liberty, which was published by Elisha Smith, in Portsmouth, N. H., in 1808. �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1868. 92 THE FRIEND. DECEMBER 4. 1858 Fourth Annual Report of the Honolulu Sailors' Home. Preunted Thvrtday evening, Abr. S.Vft, 1858. The Executive Committee of the Honolulu Sailors' Home Society would offer the following report of the Society's proceedings during tho past year, being the fourth since its organization. The Treasurer has presented the state of the Society's financial condition, and the amount of money which has been raised to carry forward the Society's operations. We are most happy to learn that a much smaller debt now rests upon the institution than at which might be stated, already show that it is no easy matter to manage the Home." " It is no money-making concern for the manager, although to the boarders themselves it may be, and doubtless is, a money-saving establishment. Considering the accommodations, and quality of food liberally furnished for the tables, it is unquestionably the very best and cheapest bonrding-house ever opened in Honolulu for officers and seamen. Past experience shows that unless the utmost vigilance is exercised, and the strictest economy practised, it would be utterly impossible for the Manager to spread so generous a table, and provide so bountifully for the inmates of the Home. Kcally, the only complaint that we have heard uttered against the Home during the past season has been, that " Mother Thrum puts too much sweetening in her tea." It is much to be hoped that the good woman will feel encouraged to continue her connection with the establishment. If the pecuniary emolument is not sufficient to induce her to remain, it is to be hoped a higher motive operates upon her mind. We make the state- any former period since it was opened for boarders. It may almost be said, that the Home is out of debt, for the sum of $359 is small indeed, compared with the large amount ($16,083 06) which has been raised since the autumn of 1854. In order to render the ment most advisedly, and knowing whereof building habitable, the trustees in 1856 in- we affirm, that whatever good the Home, dicurred a debt of $1,714 38.

Such ill-natured remarks are now seldom, ifever, heard. This has been a great conquest. Some wished well to the cause, but confidently asserted it would never succeed. Sailors, they said, never would patronize the establishments. Facts have proved the contrary. We do not look upon the Home as able to remedy all the evils under which a large seaport town labors, but we do strenuously maintain that our Home, and the influence which it directly and indirectly has executed, have remedied many of the evils which formerly existed in Honolulu. We claim that the Home, through the high-toned and commanding influence of its Board of Trustees, has furnished a few simple laws and regulations for shipping and discharging seamen, which may be regarded as model laws. A few years ago a shipmaster was annoyed almost to desperation in shipping a crew—but now it is a most simple matter, and, comparatively devoid of trouble. Shipping officers are under heavy bonds to act justly and fairly. The sailor is amply protected from imposition. His " pass" protects him from fraud. The Shipmaster is fully indemnified if his men are not forthcoming at the appointed time. To the credit of the Port of Honolulu, let it be published, the sailor and the shipmaster are both treated fairly and honorably. The disgraceful scenes which were formerly to be witnessed when a crew went on board, are among the things that were ! Such disgraceful transactions as we read of as occuring in other ports are not to be witnessed in Honolulu. While many evils still remain to be corrected, we are not forgetful of the blessings which now abound, and which have been produced by the erection and maintenance of the Home. All is not accomplished that we still hope to see achieved. The enemy is not dead, neither has he left our shores. He is here in our midst, and the friends of the sailor and the Home must be awake, vigilant and active, or the ground already gained will be again in the enemy's possession. In conclusion, the Committee would merely add that, the Reading Room, Library, and Depository, connected with the Home, have been open, and contributing their share to the sailor's welfare. Not only boarders, but the sailor boarding elsewhere, or an inmate of the Hospital, is essentially benefitted by the establishment. They resort there to read the news, write letters home,and obtain a supply of reading matter before going to sea. Hoping that the Home may continue in its career of usefulness, and enjoy the patronage and support of both seamen and landsmen, the undersigned would respectfully submit the foregoing report. S. C. Damon, J. T. Waterhouse, H. J. H. Holdsworth, Ex. Com. H. S. H. Soc. �93 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1858. It always affords us much more delight to praise than censure public officials, and especially those connected with the police. We should be doing great injustice to our feelings did we not bestow more than a passing notice upon the increased efficiency of the Hawaiian police, mainly attributable, we understand, to the present Prefect. We would not undervalue the services of the other persons belonging to the police corps. To be a good police officer, in Honolulu, is no sinecure berth, if the incumbent does his duty. Indications of greater efficiency appear in the general quiet of the town, (evenings and upon the Sabbath,) the few police arrests, and small amount of business at the Police Court. We would assure Marshal, Prefect, and police officers generally, that they will have the support, approbation and sympathy of all worthy and respectable citizens, provided they do their duty promptly and efficiently, enforcing laws and punishing offenders. The influence upon the character of the port, and good accomplished, will be very great. We heard an old shipmaster, commander of a large clipper in port, say that he had not visited so orderly and quiet a port as Honolulu for twenty years. His men go and come evenings, work efficiently during the day, and conduct as sailors should. We have heard less grumbling this year among shipmasters respecting the disorders among their seamen than ever before. We shall call attention to this subject in a future number, for it is of great importance, in order to induce whale ships to visit our ports. [C7* Fourth Anniversary of the Hon.

The wreck took place on the N. W. end of Big Shantar Island during a heavy gale from the N. E. with snow. On the 17th, Capt. Stewart supposed his ship was thirty or forty miles to the northward of the islands, and was lying to under close-reefed main topsail and reefed foresail—(he had previously lost his fore-topmast)—was heading to the eastward. At 8, A. M., on the 18th, discovered land all along under the lee. He immediately wore ship, but could not head clear of the point. It blowing very hard, the ship made no headway, and was thrown broadside on shore, and in less than five minutes broke up. Out of twenty-six men on board only thirteen esoaped alive. On the 22d I succeeded in taking oft" the survivors and about 200 bbls. oil. The following is a correct list of those lost: Capt. Ansel Steward, of Fairhaven, Mass., found and buried. mate. Thus.

The present Trustees may be ranged in this order First Class—going out in 1859—H. M. Kamehameha IV, Q, P. Judd, S. C. Damon, John li, C. R. Bishop, W. H. Johnson. Second Class —going out in IB6O—S.

A. Aldrich, J. Mott Smith. From the Treasurer's report it appears that the whole of the present unpaid debt of the Society is only $859 12, and that the principal item of revenue is derived from the volunteer concerts given in its behalf, by the Musical Amateur Society of Honolulu—an indirect, but by far the pleasantest mode of taxation for the support of a worthy enterprise. At the same time we ara painfully impressed with the fact obtained through the same report, that the item of sundry contributions during the year," which includes both landsmen and seamen, does not amount to more than $71 83. When we look at the hundreds who find shelter for body and mind within the walls of the Home, and return to it yearly after suooessful voyages at sea ; when we look at the many ship-masters who often are indebted for the acquisition of a sober, competent, orderly crew, to the existence and influence of the Home in this part of the world; and then look at the above $71 83, our heart would sink within us did we not have faith in the principle which the "Home" embodies. We are not a Trustee, or Executive Committee, nor have we lot or part in aught that appertains to the Sailors' Home," but we have followed the sea, both fore and aft, until its face is familiar to us as a hornbook, and we have known the need and felt the value of institutions like the Home." Let the pride of the sailor be touched and tho Home will be supported. When we have time, and abler pens lie idle, we will revert again to this subject.

The Railroad has been In regular and successful operation for more than two years, and its capacity for the transportation of every description of merchandise. Including Oil, Provisions, &c, has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently been turned to the subject of shipping theiroil fromPanama to New York during the present season, and the Panama Rail-Road Company has made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishment of this importantobject. A Pier, 460 feet long, has been built in the bey of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars are run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside of vessels at Asplnwall. Vessels of from 200 to 300 tons can lie at the Pier with safety, grounding In the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Asplnwall are fast-sailing brigs, be longing to theRail-Road Company, and the Company is pre pared to receive oil at Panama and deliver it In New York, under through Kills, of Lading at L the rate of seven cents per gallon, if received at the Pier, and eight cents per gallon if received in theharbor from ship's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. For whalebone, one and one-half cents per pound. This charge covers every expense from Panama to New York, in case the oilIs sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent of the Panama Rail-Road Company, insurance excepted. The freights may be made payable on the Isthmus or in New York at the option of the shipper. The vessels ofthe Company sail regularly semi-monthly,and theaverage passages to and from Asplnwall are abouttwenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied In crossing the Ishmus is fourhours. Oil, during its transit across the Isthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed In covered cars, and owners may be assured that every care will be taken to prevent leakage. Several oarKot-s have already been conveyed to New York with out the slight.-st loss. Oil or other Koodei consigned for transportation to the Superintendent of the Panama Rail-Road Company, or to William Kelson, Commercial Agent of the Company at Panama, will be received and forwarded with the greatest despatch.

The noble and generous spring that gushesfrom its soil, sending forth its perennial current to freshen, gladden and fertilize the broad plain, happily typifies that intellectual, moral and spiritual stream which, we trust, may never ceasx; flowing from that collegiate institution so long as our islands remain the cherished and happy abode of human beings. Nature and Providence indicate that at that iavored spot there shall continue to exist a never-failing fountain of learning and science. We are glad to know that the noble men who conduct the world-wide operations of the American Board of Foreign Missions at Boston, take enlarged an<J correct views upon this subject. They see and realize that should the Sandwich Islands be left without a college, university, or such an institution as this seems designed to be, the crowning work of the great Protestant Missionary enterprise in the North Pacific would be incomplete. Every civilized, educated and Christian nation must have an elevated institution of learning, well officered and well endowed. We are hopeful for the future, and sincerely trust that the Rev. W. P. Alexander, who has recently embarked for the eastern States, may succeed in securing funds for an ample endowment, and, if it finally appears necessary, also of selecting a new President. Has Brother Jonathan "Counted the Cost" before Going to War with Paraguay?—Wc think not, either in regard to men or money. More than one has asked, what is the cause of this formidable expedition to South America ? As an answer to this question we refer our readers to an article found in another column, and copied from Harper's Monthly for November. It is there told in a few words. We shall anxiously await tinresult of this warlike expedition. Oahu Clerical Association.—Next meeting The Trustees of this institution were notified, at a lecent meeting, by President Beckwith, that in consequence of the protracted indisposition of his wife, and the decided opinion of her physician that her health would not be permanently improved while residing in a tropical climate, he must resign his situation as President. This announcement has filled the minds of the trustees, students and friends of the institution with much sadness and perplexity. They had been fondly and confidently looking to him as just the man whose abilities and qualifications most eminently fitted him to preside over the infant Seminary, and secure for it that public, sympathy and pecuniary endowment so much needed at the present crisis. As he has, however, intimated that he will not retire for a full twelve month, allowing sufficient time for a successor to be chosen, we cannot but earnestly hope and fervently pray, that the cause of his resignation being happily removed by a kind Providence, he may long remain to perfe:t that system of education which he has so happily inaugurated. It affords us sincere gratification to announce that this important step has not been taken, in consequence of any fears in the President's mind that the institution was prematurely undertaken or would not succeed. He has not intimated a thought in that direction. The Trustees entertain no such views. They are constantly becoming more deeply impressed with the necessity and importance of building up an institution where the foundations have been so auspiciously laid. Its <ndowment must be secured. The rising generation must be educated here, although occasionally individuals may go abroad. Most sadly should we deprecate a retrograde tendency in this enterprise. There must not be one backward step.

For the first time we recently met some Polynesians from this island, but very much unlike the ordinary natives of the Sandwich, Society or Samoan groups. They somewhat resemble persons known among seamen, as black Portuguese. They have the hair of the negro, but still are far from being Africans. Upon inquiry, we learned that they were from the small island of Lifu, one of the Loyalty group, and situated in south lat., 21 ° , and east long. 166 °. These men were brought to Honolulu by Capt. Thompson, of the China, who report* that he found them on Ascension, at the Rev. Mr. Sturges' station. According to the story of the men themselves, the captain of an English brig, the Two Brothers, took them away from their home very much against their will. They say, "he steal us." He took them to Ascension, and there disposed of the men to the Nanakin, and a foreigner, for supplies, including pigs ! Being anxious to return home, and no opportunity offering, through the solicitation of Mr. Sturges, Capt. Thompson took them on board the China, after paying certain claims against them at Ascension. They have been one cruise North, and were discharged here a few days ago by Captain Thompson, with $40 each. Through the kindness of Capt. Manchester, of the Morea, they have been furnished with a gratuitous passage to Roratonga, hoping thatfrom thence they may obtain a passage on board the mis sionary bark John Williams, to Lifu, although this island is some 3000 miles from Roratonga. From Gill's Gems of the Cored Islands, we copy the following facts in regard to Lifu :— " The island is about 80 miles in circumfer- " The chapel was 100 feet long, and 40 wide. Besides being furnished with seats, it had a pulpit, reading desk, doors, and neat Venetian blinds for windows, all of which was the work of the people of Lifu, under the superintendence and assistance of their native Christian teachers." The people had renounced "heathenism, idolatry, war and cannibalism." Some were able to read. About 300 were in a course of Biblical instruction. Writes the first missionary, Paoo, in 1853, "This is a joyful season. The work of God is now advancing—idols, and things the people held sacred in heathenism, are cast away. This a great reward. We have more work than we can do. There are five villages where the people now wish for resident teachers." In 1854, when the new missionaries landed, 3000 natives assembled to give them " a Christian welcome." No Europenn missionaries have ever been stationed upon Lifu. The good accomplished has been through the instrumentality of native missionaries from the Samoan Islands. All honor to these faithful men, and to their English teachers, who educated these Samoans, and prepared them to go 3000 miles from the shores of Roratonga and Aitutaki to preach the Gospel among the savage tribes of Lifu. We are glad to have met these four Lifuan natives. They are the first, and may be the last we shall ever see, from their remote island home. We trust they may reach that home in safety and become efficient laborers in helping their Christian teachers. We shall hope, hereafter, to learn that they have been safely landed upon the shores of Lifu. Arctic Whaling in 1858. ence, and thickly populated. Remarks the Rev.

From thence we coasted along its edge in a north-westerly direction. On the Ist of June we were in lat. 60° 40, long. 177° 30 E., the ice still forming a hairier to the North. We now had fresh gales from S.W. to W.S.W., during which the ice gave way, apparently about were much encouraged with the prospects of the mission. A chief man, named Bula, had embraced the Gospel, and had built a " house of God." In 1852, the missionary bark John Williams again visited the island, and 10, a great change had been produced. The savages were beginning to wear clothing. one knot per hour. On the 6th it moderated, and we steered to the North ; saw but few scattering pieces of ice. On the 10th passed Cape Navarin, and found the ice to the eastward making nearly in a line for the entrance of the Straits, curving round to the westward, in about lat. 64°, and thence to the S.W., the open water making a somewhat deep bend into the Bay of Anadir, the ice again joining the land a few miles west of Cape St. Thaddeus. We found several ships beating about in this open space, but finding no egress to the North East or West without entering the ice pack. (The previous year at this date, theKamschatkaand Anadir Seas and Bhering Straits was entirely clear of ice). In speaking one of these vessels we learned that a large number of bowheads had been seen among the ice to the south, nearly abreast of Cape Olnorsky, and that several ships had taken from one to three each. As we had not seen any ourselves, and did not hear of any hereabouts, I supposed there might be open water to the north, and that the whales might be found there earlier than usual, as was the case last year. Accordingly I put the ship into the ice on the 14th, in company with the Hibernia, in lat. 64 s 14, long. 176°. Finding the ice rather heavy after gaining a few miles north-easterly, we moored to a ferae cake and furled everything, in order to protect our copper from damage. On the 16th, unmoored and made some progress easterly, through the lanes of open water. On the 17th brought up again, the wind freshening and the ice quite close, and having moored snugly to a largd cake, from the top of it we filled our tank with thirty barrels of excellent fresh water, although not more than three feet above the surrounding salt water, Saw ten or twelve ships under sail in an open space some distance to the eastward of us. On the 18th, took in our ice anchors and worked through into open -water, some miles from Cape Noss, the other ships in sight getting through about the same time. On the 20th the ice again barred our progress to the North, some twenty miles north of Cape Chaplin. We then worked back by the same path tkrough which we had entered. We next tried to get east towards Sledge Island, a report being current among the fleet of bowheads having been seen in that vicinity the year previous. Failing in this, we were obliged to lay round among the ice until the 27th, the weather mostly foggy. When it cleared up, we had King's Island bearing west 20 miles, the Straits nearly full of ice in that direction, but nearly clear to the N.W. On the 2d of July, were off St. Lawrence Bay; saw four or five bowheads going quick to the north, the first we had seen. On the 6th entered the Arctic; on the 11th made the ice in lat. 69° 15. During the remainder of this month cruised �about in the Arctic and in the Straits; saw but seven or eight scattering whales during the whole time, a considerable portion of it windy or foggy weather, though said to be much better tham the season of '57. On the last of this month I heard that a large number of whales had been seen passing up by Plover Bay and Cape Chaplin, about the 20th, bound into the Straits, moving fast, Although making no stop, several ships succeeded in getting one or more each. They were next seen off King's Island, the first week in August, where a number more were taken. Immediately afterward they appear to have passed up arojnd Cape Lisburne, in the vicinity of which the greatest strike of the season was made, so far as I have heard from those who were fortunate enough to be on the spot at the right time, say the middle and latter parts of August, of which number I was not one, nor in either of the cuts previously mentioned, but simply report from hearsay. During this month we had considerable rugged weather, with a full share of fog, but still sufficient weather suitable for whaling to have taken a good cut of oil, if we could have found the whales, of which we saw several, very shy, however. On the 29th, strong winds from the north; saw several ships bound south; the next four days strong gales from the north. On the 3d of September saw our first show of whales, in any considerable number, for the season, but hard to strike, the land about Point Hope bearing N.N.E. 30 miles distant. Probably they were the same body that had just been harassed further north. I should judge there were 100in sight during the day. On the 4th we saw a goodly number ; also on the morning of the sth saw some, but as it came on to blowand rain, and we had a couple to cut in, did not look after them. The next four days had strong winds and fog ; saw several ships bound out. On the 10th, saw quite a number again, in about the same place; saw a ship take one. On the 12th, 13th and 14th, fine weather; the whales appear to have moved off, as we did not see any. On the 16th, concluded to put off to the south; and now begins a new feature with regard to the winds in this part of the world late in the season. In previous years I had never seen any lack of northerly winds and October to make southing with—in Sept. was agreeable—particugenerally more than ferly in 1852. This year we had strong winds from the north, the three last days of Aug. and Sept—also on the 9th. From the 15th of Sept until the 12th of October, we had a constant succession of sharp southerly jjales, at intervals of from one to three days ■each, giving us a very protracted passage to the swutfa. On the 25th of Sept. we were off Cape East, with eight sails in sight, one of which bad entered the Straits some ten days before, but had been driven back by the constantly recurring southerly gales. The passage through the Fox Islands late in the season is always the source of some anxiety, especially with unsettled weather and frequent gales. A vivid recollection of the fate of the Monongakela and her unfortunate crew coming up with startling distinctness to anyone having those rock-bound shores close under their lee during a violent gale. The 72d passage, as it is called, is generally preferred, being much the widest, and represented as having no race, although in 1853 I found a current setting to the eastward, taking my ship at least 18 miles in that direction during a calm of eight hours continuance. This time I had steered for the most eastern passage. On the sth of Oct. at sun-rise had it bearing S., 45 miles, with strong winds from west, and very hazy weather at 11-30 made the Island of Akoun, three-and-a-half miles distant, the land so completely buried in haze that the surf was in sight almost as soon as the mountain. At 5-30 P. M., got through between Ougamok and Tigolda, nearly calm ; at 7, a breeze from S.W., backing round to S. and S.S.E., and blowing on fast —soon had strong gales, carryingall possible sail to get a good offing, which we had well nigh attained before we were forced to take in to our regular storm-sails. Fortunately these southers, after they become violent, are short-lived, generally breaking suddenly, and hauling round to the W., giving a ship caught on a lee shore an opportunity to head offsuch was the case at thist ime—the gale abating at meridian on the 6th, and hauling round to S.S.W.,and blowing strong from that quarter. On the 9th, had another strong souther —on the 10th and 11th, heavy gales from W.S.W., during the remainder of our passage in we have had very favorable winds and pleasant weather. ; The Paraguay Expedition, The Paraguay Expedition is about to be dispatched. The origin of the difficulty with Paraguay is as follows : In 1852 the United States steamer Water Witch, Lieut. Page, commander, was sent out to make an exploration of the River Plata and its tributaries. The expedition was undertaken and prosecuted with the concurrence of Brazil, the Argentine Confederation and Paraguay—the States bordering upon these waters. Everything proceeded satisfactorily until September, 1854, when a slight difficulty occurred between a Paraguayan citizen and Mr. Hopkins, the American consul at Asuncion, who was also the general agent for an American mercantile company. The Paraguayan Government took up the quarrel, a sharp correspondence ensued, which was ended by the withdrawal of the exequatur of the consul and the suspension of the business of the company, the members of which left the country on board of the American steamer. Shortly afterward President Lopez issued a 3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1859. decree prohibiting foreign vessels of war from navigating the rivers of Paraguay. On the Ist of February of the next year the Water Witch, while ascending the river Parana, which forms the boundary between Paraguay and Corrientes, one of the States of the Argentine Confederation, was fired upon from the Paraguayan fort Itapiru. The man at the wheel was killed, and tho vessel was slightly injured. The steamer was at the time under the command of Lieutenant Jeffers, Lieut. Page and most of the officers being absent on an exploring expedition in another quarter. It was subsequently asserted by Lopez that the Water Witchhad left the "common channel," and was actually within the waters of Paraguay ; and he furnished a chart of the river and the position of the steamer to corroborate the assertion. This chart was altogether erroneous, The steamer was in the channel common to Paraguay and Corrientes, as is shown by accurate charts prepared by the expedition ; and, even had she been in the waters of Paraguay, the fact that she was not properly a vessel of war, but a small steamer engaged in a scientific enterprise, should have exempted herfrom the operation of the decree of Lopez. Reparation having been vainly demanded, the present expedition —the most imposing ever fitted out by our government—has been fitted out. It consists of the following vessels, under command of Commodore W. B. Shubrick : — umcers.

At their eight printing establishments 45,489,346 pages were printed the past year; making the whole number from the beginning 1,080,481,083 pages. There are 138 churches, with 27,740 members, of whom 1,522 were added during the year. There are 6 seminaries, with 348 pupils, 17 boarding-schools with 544 pupils, and 619 free schools, including 312 supported by the Hawaiian government, with 16,128 pupils. Five missionaries died during the year, and 19 new missionaries were sent out. The total receipts during the year were 330,818 48, and the expenditures $353,-849 93 ; leaving a deficiency, with the debt of the previous year, of $40,870 87.

English Christmas and New England Thanksgiving. In the sermon of the Rev. Mr. Arthy, chaplain of H. B. M.'s ship Calypso, at the Bethel, on Christmas morning, he described the manner of observing Christmas in England, pointing out the happy influence which it exerted upon the people. It was the occanion, of all others, when children and grandchildren gathered round the old homestead. Full play was given to the kindly feelings of our natures, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren meeting and rejoicing together. No doubt every Englishman and Englishwoman felt that it was pleasant, even in imagination, to live over again the joyous season of Christmas, and perhaps wondered how their American cousins could be so prejudiced that they should not make :is much of Christmas. listening to the Rev. Mr. Arthy'sre;B, the thought arose in our mind, and in of others, surely the preacher could not have chosen more apt and appropriate language to have described a genuine New England Thanksgiving. The two occasions are observed precisely alike at home and around the domestic hearth, where the old and the young, the venerable and the youthful gather to exchange their warm congratulations and friendly greetings. Then, too, the public services of the sanctuary are not altogether dissimilar. They may differ in form, but not Ii in spirit. With all deference to " the Powers that be" and Rulers of the Kingdom, we do sincerely hope that when another year rolls around, should we be favored with a Royal Proclamation, calling upon the people to be thankful, the 25th of December will be the day set apart for the purpose. We may be mistaken, but, from our point of observation, the blending of the two days will have the most happy effect upon all classes. Let the descendants of Cavaliers and Roundheads, Churchmen and Puritans meet as brethren in this remote part of the world; both rejoice that a Savior was born, and both are thankful when our beloved King can thus open his Royal Proclamation: " Whereas the blessings of Divine Providence have been bountifully showered Upon our people throughout the present year."

Another volume of Bancroft has made its appearance. Well can we remember when volume Ist appeared, more than twenty years ago, if we mistake not it was in 1534 or '35. Its style and tone indicated that a mnsterhand had taken up the historic pen. As volume after volume have been issued from Little, Brown &c Co.'s excellent publishing and printing house, at Boston, they have gladdened the hearts of ull lovers of history, and especially American history. Now we are favored with volume VII., and are informed that two more are forthcoming. May the life of the historian be spared to complete this groat national undertaking. The present volume embraces that deeply interesting and exciting period of American history just prior to the Declaration of Independence. The last chapters narrate the Battle of Bunker Hill. No part, however, of the work is more interesting than those chapters relating to the debates upon the American Colonial Question in the British Parliament. The "old thirteen" had friends in Parliament, and among the people of England. It is soul-in- O! where shall be my resting-place When life'sdull scenes aro o'er ? Will it be 'neath the willow tree, Or 'mid old Ocean's roar? Will this frail form at last, repose Beneath the crested wave ? Or shall I, by a sylvan bower, Rest in a quiet grave? Will friends stand round my dying bed, The last farewell to give? Or shall I die in unknown lands, Where none my fate shall grieve? Must I alone, tinpitied die, My eyes will strangers close, And in the church-yard lie In gloomiest repose?

" There were giants in those days." We do not profess to be a reviewer, but could not withhold n few passing remarks. Christmas Tree.—The Christmas tree can be traced to the land of Luther. How long it there flourished in the forests of Germany, before Luther's day, we cannot stop now to enquire. A sprig was brought to the Sandwich Islands a few years ago, and it appears to have found a genial climate and a fruitful soil. It is really wonderful how it flourishes. Like Jonah's gourd, " which came up in a night and perished in a night," the Christmas-tree makes n great display of fruit on the first night of its growth. Mrs. Dominis, with her wonted skill for flowergrowing and tree-planting, produced a Christmas-tree that was much admired, especially by the juveniles, who gathered under its shadow and plucked its ripe fruit ready to drop into their hands, marked and labelled. How much Santa Claus had to do in the wonderful production we cannot say, but he appeared very much at home on the occasion, and seemed to know by name all the little folks that were dancing and kiting about like so many fairies. We congratulate the children of Honolulu that they enjoy so many pleasant gatherings, and we would thank Mrs. Dominis for her expense, trouble and labor to make the young people happy. The shipmaster who has kindly forwarded a narrative of hislate northern cruise, has our thanks, and if he would have consented, our readers should have known his Rappers among Whalemen. Occasionally meeting persons among our seafaring acquaintances, who are believers in the absurd opinions of the Rappers, we commend the following fact to their consideration, copied from a late paper: "The hardest rap the spirits have received for some time is the very inconsiderate arrival home in New Bedford hist week of a young man who was believed to have been lost in the wrecked bark Wade ten years ago. For a long while his afflicted 'governor' has been conversing with him in the spirit land—the last message, through a medium, being to the fact that 'he was among the saints, and a crown of glory was awaiting his father.'"

This historical fact is one of no little importance, and should be well understood. It was a war against which the English people most solemnly protested. It was with the utmost difficulty that soldiers could be enlisted in England proper. Several army and naval officers threw up their commissions rather than proceed to America, or be considered as opposed to the colonies. We frankly confess that our love for old England never was greater than when rising from the perusal of this volume of American history. CIRCULAR. To the Pastors of the Hawaiian Churches: The Directors of the H. Miss. Society have requested their Secretary to call upon the pastors, elders, deacons and agents of tho Hawaiian churches to forward their missionary funds, monthly contributions, &c, to Mr. S. N. Castle, Treasurer, at their earliest convenience. Rev. J. Kekela has visited all our churches during the year, and expluined the nature, character, success and prospects of the Marquesan Mission. He writes me that he wishes the Directors to send out two more missionaries and their wives by the next trip of the Morning Star. But this we cannot do unless the churches are prompt and liberal in their donations. The Morning Star is nearly due, and it is thought advisable to dispatch her early to the Marquesas, so that shemay return before our general meeting in May next. There are now only about ($400) four 'hundred dollars in the treasury ; but to meet our probable liabilities weshall need' ($4,000) four thousand dollars. It is the privilege as well as the duty of every church on the Sandwich Islands to contribute liberally for the support of the Marquesas Mission. Please lay this subject before your church and people, and may we not hope for a prompt, liberal, eolden reply to this call for pecuniary aid? 1858. L. SMITH, n Honolulu, Dec. 18, Cor. Sec. P.

Died, on Friday evening last, December 3d, at his residence, in Honolulu, Mr. Cook, (commonly called Kuke,) aged seventy-seven years, having been a resident of these Islands for upwards of thirty-two years. He was born at Huahine, one of the Society Islands, in the year 1781. His parents' name was Taouiarii, but they being in some way connected with the family of King Pomare Vairaatoa, (the father of the present Queen) that King gave him the name of Cook, in honor of the celebrated navigator. It appears that when very young he became religious, and has always been looked upon as a missionary. He was a great favorite of King Pomare, and an intimate friend of the Rev. Mr. Barff, who, in several of his letters has spoken of him in the highest terms of praise. In the year 1826, Kalaimoku, then the High Chief of these Islands, requested King Pomare and his Chiefs to Bend hither a native Missionary, and Mr. Cook was selected for that purpose, and arrived here ih the following year. In the year 1849, his late Majesty Kamehameha in. appolntesl Mr. Cook as his Chaplain, whioh office he held till his Majesty's death. There are many persons now residing on these Inlands, who can testily to his faithfulness as a laborer in the vineyard of the Lord. A few minutes previous to his death, he was asked how he felt. He calmly replied, '• Well!—I am only waiting for the Lord to call me—l am ready!" At the end of a prayer which had been offered up for him, he responded to it in a clear and distinct voice, Amen," and then immediately resigned his soul to his Maker. He has left at Ihe Society Islands a sister and an only Bon, for whom he has well provided, and in this city two daughters and three grand-children. Poly. " — New Treaty with Japan.—A correspondent of the Boston Herald, writing from the steam frigate Mississippi, at Hakodadi, says: I presume that before this reaches you. you will have received the intelligence that our Consul, Mr. Harris, has succeeded in completing his new treaty with the Japan Government, and that it has been signed by the Emperor and sent to our Government by CommodoreTatnall. Mr. Harris has labored hard to bring about this grand result, and ia deserving the congratulations of the whole Amerioan people. By this new treaty the port of Simoda, of no account to us, will be closed, and the beautiful harbor of Lanagua, only twelve miles from the city of Jeddo, is to be opened to us for oommerce, &c. After the treaty is ratified, that portion will be the residence of Air. Harris. It is a beautiful harbor, easy of ncoess at atl times of the year, well protected from all storms, snd is not like that of Simoda, surrounded at its extremes by sunken rocks. It is also oapable of containing a large number of ships, while that of Simoda is not large enough to allow more than three or four ships to ride at anchor at the same sime. Its proximity to the Court of Jeddo will also make It convenient for Mr. Harris. The Japanese Government has decided to send an Ambassador to Washington in March next, on the condition that our Government will convey him and his suite to Panama in a government ship tn route for the United States. I learn that Mr. Harris and Comnv dore Tatnall assured the authorities of Jeddo that it would be gratifying to the United States Gov. ernmrnt and its people to comply with this request, at-d that the return mail would no doubt bring orders to that effect. Sunday, August Ist, was an interesting one at Simoda. At 10 o'clock, a. v., all the boats of the Powhatan and of this ship were seen pulling to the landing near the Consul's residence, one mile from Simoda proper, filled with officers and men, among whom were Commodore Tatnall, Capt. Nicholson, and the Rev. Mr. Wood, Chaplain of the Powhatan. This large party, numbering four hundred, proceeded to the consul's residence for the purpose of attending divine worship of Almighty God on Japanese soil. Here, on the very soil from which the decree has gone forth for centuries to the world, that if the Almighty God himself, or man, or the devil should dare to Btep foot on Japanese soil to preach the religion of the Most High, they should pay the forfeit of their lives; here it was that, on the Ist day of August, 1868, four hundred Amerioan officers and seamen worshipped the true God wilbout being molested. Rev. Mr. Wood gave his text from Ist Thessalonians, chapter 1, verses 9 and 10, and hymns 107 and 118 from the Episcopal Common Prayer-book were sung with much effect by the choir of the Powhatan. The discourse was listened to for an hour with the utmost silence by the American hearers, while a vast crowd of Japanese gathered around the building to watch our movements. The Young Men's Christian Association of New Orleans, performed a noble work during the prevalence of the yellow fever.

The Railroad has been In regular and successful operation for more than two years, and Its capacity for the transportation of every description of merchandise, Including till, Provisions, kc, has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently lieen turned to the subject of shipping their oil from Panama to New York during the present season, and the Panama Rail-Road Company haa made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishment of this Importantobject. A Pier, 460 feet long, has been bnllt In the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars arerun to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside or vessels at Asplnwall. Vessels of from 200 to 800 tons can lie at thePier with safety,grounding in the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Aspinwall are fast-sailing brigs, be longing to theRail-Road Company, and the Company la pre pared to receive oil at Panama and deliver It In New York, under through Bills of Lading at, the rate of seven cents per gallon, If received at the Pier, and eight cents per gallon If received In the harbor from ship's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. For whalebone, one and one-half cents per pound. This charge covers every expense from Panama to New York, in case the oilIs sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent of thePanama Kail-Road Company, Insurance excepted. The freights may be made payable on the Isthmus or In New York at the option of the shipper. The vessels of the Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and the averagepassages to and from Aspinwall are about twenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied 111 crossing theIshmus is four hours. Oil, during its transit acmes theIsthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and osroevs may be assured that every care will be taken to prevent leakage. Several cargoes have already been conveyed to New York with out the slightest loss. Oil or other goods consigned for transportation to the Superintendent ofthe Panama Rail-Road Company, or to William Nel son. Commercial Agent ofthe Company at Panama, will be received and forwarded with the greatest despatch. XT Frederic L.

C Damon— Dear Sir: —Among the many noble monuments of private benevolence which our State exhibits, perhaps the noblest is the State Reform School. This institution was established in 1848. Its object was the reformation of juvenile offenders, by taking those who would otherwise be subjected to the degradation of prison discipline, and separating them from vicious influences; teaching them their duty to God and their fellow-beings; preparing them to earn an honest livelihood ; and giving them such an intellectual education as would fit them properly to discharge the common business of life. A wealthy philanthropist, whose name was unknown until his death, who had long seen the necessity for such an institution, having offered to contribute the means for the purchase of the land and the erection of the necessary buildings, the State commenced the work. A beautiful site was selected in the pleasant village of Westboro', on the borders of Chancery Pond, a lovely sheet of water, and commanding a fine view of the country round. A noble building was erected capable of accommodating 300 boys, with the officers. The Police Magistrates were instructed to send to this school boys under 16 years of age, who were convicted of petty crimes, and especially those who seemed to be under no good parental or other discipline, instead of sentencing them to the common prison, which generally made confirmed rogues of them. The experiment was a moat successful one—the boys were placed under a mild, but firm, system of government and discipline, well fed and clothed, well employed and taught, and the beneficial effects were soon plainly perceptible, and, though the State made liberal appropriations for the support of the school, not one-half the boys could be accommodated. In 1850, the Honorable Theodore Lyman died, and it was then ascertained that he was theunknown benefactor and �10 TIE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1859. founder of this noble institution. By his will, he left 850,000, in addition to his former donation of 822,500, to the school. The building was then enlawed to double its former capacity, and now presents a noble front of nearly 400 feet, with a depth of 200 feet, forming a hollow square, which makes the play-ground. The natural beauties of the location are increased by cultivation, and it is one of the most attractive-looking places in the State. A fine farm of 200 acres is attached to the school, where such of the boys who prefer agricultural to mechanical pursuits are employed in working hours. About 600 boys are here fed, clothed, educated and employed, and a large proportion of these carry with them the good habits thus acquired into active life, and become useful men and good citizens, who would, but for its saving influence, have continued depraved and dishonest. Could the means of the commonwealth, or the private charities of the wealthy, be dispensed for a more important or noble purpose ? I visited this flourishing institution a few days since with a party of friends, and was well repaid for the time thus spent. As we approached the edifice by the beautiful road on the borders of the pond, we saw a party of boys in the school uniform enjoying themselves in a sail-bont. On the other side of us another party were at work in the fields. Driving up to tKe principal entrance, we were shown into the reception-room. While waiting here, a police officer came in with a new subject for discipline—a youth of about 12 years—who burst into tears as he parted from his conductor, and followed the chaplain to his new quarters. He evidently felt both home-sick and penitent. Mr. Stan, the Superintendent, soon made his appearance, and under his guidance, we were conducted over the building. I was struck with the perfect order, neatness and apparent system everywhere observable. The dormitories, of which there are two, each containing about 300 beds—the sheets, pillows and counterpanes of sunny whiteness—are well arranged and ventilated. The centers of these large and lofty apartments are occupied by " standee berths," as they are called aboard packets, of three tiers, for the younger boys, the larger ones occupying small rooms, each containing a small iron beadstead, of which there are also three tiers opening out upon a railed iron gallery. These rooms are locked at night, and can be seen from the bed of the teacher, in the center of the apartment. There are eight school-rooms, each containing desks for seventy scholars. The chapel is a very large and neat room, of sufficient capacity to seat all the inmates of the establishment, and the teachers and visitors who come from the village. There are several work-rooms, which are leased to manufacturers ofshoes, chairs, fee., who employ the boys, peying for their labor—one room is devoted to tailoring, and here the clothing of the boys is made up; nearly all the boys appeared cheerful and contented, and all orderly and neat. In one room, the smallest boy were knitting stockings, under the supervision of a good-natured looking damsel, who was patiently explaining to one of them thp mysteries of the art. Here our sympathies, especially those of the fairer and gentler portion of our party, were much excited at the sight of a boy of about eight years, who was sitting in his little chair, with, a newly begun stocking in his hand, sobbing as if his heart was breaking, while the big tears rapidly coursed each other down his woe-begone face ; on enquiry, we learned that he had been sent there that day, and was suffering from home-sickness —that terrible, though not fatal, disease with which children are often afflicted when sent away from home to any school. His offence (which would be a most venial one in the eyes of Hawaiian youth) was an incorrigible propensity for riding or driving horses, which had become so ungovernable that, though often arrested for the offence, he could not resist the temptation of taking possession of any horse or vehicle he saw standing in the street, and having a good ride. This being somewhat inconvient to the owners, especially to physicians, could not be allowed, and all other means having failed, the little jockey was sent to this school, where, under its discipline, he might learn the difference between meum and tuum. If he behaves well he may be rewarded by being put in charge of the school team, which those boys who have deserved the reward, are allowed to drive to the village. An inspection of the dining-room and cooking departments satisfied me that, so far as good living was concerned, the majority of the boys were much better off here than at home. Bread, of snowy whiteness, light and sweet, rice cooked by steam in boilers almost as large as trypots, savory beef and vegetable soup, diffusing a most appetizing odor, gave satisfactory evidence that this was no " Do the boys Hall," but that even the warring apetites of 600 rapidly growing boys, would here be appeased. The laundry department was equally well arranged and conducted. The washing is done by the boys under the direction ofa female "artist," in tubs heated by steam, which is used now in all domestic operations. The building is about being heated by steam and lighted with gas, the works for which are now in progress. The boys are generally sent here for the period of their minority, the trustees however having the right to discharge such as give evidence of thorough reformation, or of binding them out as apprentices. The importance of such an institution as this in a crowded community can hardly be over-estimated. There can be no doubt but that, in the majority of cases, the detection and sentence which has brought the boy un- der its saving influences will prove to be the providential event of his life. A perusal of some of the many letters from boys who have left the school, and those from their parents or employers, will satisfy the most skeptical on this subject. One instance alone that was related to me is worth the whole expense of the establishment. A boy was sent here for robbery, who was an educated English pickpocket, and an adept at his profession. He might have sat for the picture of Dickens' pupil of Fagin in Oliver Twist. He was born and brought up a thief. For a long time after his arrival he seemed incorrigible, and utterly insensible to all good influences around him, giving the officers much trouble, and exerting a pernicious influence over the other boys. But, after his improvement was despaired of, he suddenly determined to reform, and, being a boy of remarkable energy and talent, his progress was wonderfully rapid. He devoted himself to his work and his studies, and won the esteem of all by his good conduct. He has been discharged as fully reformed, and is now laboring to earn money to pay for a college education, employing his evenings in hard study. Though he has repeatedly been offered ample means to complete his education, by gentlemen who have become interested in him, he refuses all pecuniary aid, and is patiently carrying out his noble resolution. That boy will probably become an eminent man, and a most life of virtue and usefulness will be the result of his being sent to this institution, but for which he would, doubtless, have grown up a hardened and desperate villain. The school is divided into four grades— into the third of which each boy is placed on entering. If his conduct is bad, afteradmonition, he is degraded, as a punishment, to the fourth. Il good, he is promoted to the second, and so on to the first. There is also a subdivision of the Ist grade, called the class of " Truth and Honor." These gradesrefer to the moral—not intellectual—standing, and the desire to reach the higher grades, almost renders other punishments unnecessary. Corporeal punishment is only resorted to in the 4th grade, and then only as a last resort. The whole system of government appears to be an admirable one, and the officers of the institution remarkably well-fitted for their duties. The boys become quite interested in the affairs of the establishment—the farm, stock, &c.—and are often trusted to go of errands. Some that were sent there for larcency are trusted to go alone to town, collect and pay bills, and not a single instance of breach of trust has occurred. The example of Massachusetts is being followed by other States of the Union, and in Lancaster a similar institution for girls has �11 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1859. been established, and is supported by this State. Surely no nobler purpose can engage the attention or employ the means of the wealthy, than that of snatching the young of both sexes from the vortex of crime, into which so many are almost involuntary drawn in crowded cities, and bringing them up under influences that shall fit them for lives of virtue and usefulness. Would that more of those Merchant princes in our cities, who have the means, had also the desire to thus render themselves benefactors of mankind. M. [For the Friend.) What Tobacco will do. We know what liquor will do. Its evils are too appalling to be mistaken. But tobacco has its evils. What lam about to relate is painfully true. Early in 1858, Captain Hayden touched here bringing with him some twelveKingsmill natives, whom he had picked up far at sea. They were lost. They had fled from their native island because of war, and were adrift at sea, in nearly a famished condition. As the Captain could not take them home, and as Ebon was the first island he made after taking the boys on board, he landed them here. They were afraid to come ashore—compulsion almost being necessary—for they knew what fate usually await those thus landed—either killed, or at least enslaved. I believe the Captain mads some small presents of pieces of cloth to them, esas they were in a nude state almost, do not know that he gave them any tobacco. But suffice it to say, the natives had been ashore some few weeks, and all they had on save what was necessary to cover the shame of their nakedness, was seized.by the chief, into whose hands they had fallen. But this chief suspected they still had tobacco, and ordered them to give it up. They asserted their poverty. He still accused them—they r'cially repeated their innocence. Enraged at this, he bade some of his people kill the leading ones. Two fell, and one escaped, and wandering a while in the bushes, was rescued by another chief. Illustrative of this same passion so deadening the feelings that, like many others, it leads to so sad deeds, is the fact of a native who accompanied Captain Moore from this island to Honolulu. On the native's return, not only was he stripped of about all the clothing that was given him, but one petty chief accused him of concealing tobacco. He declared his innocence. Enraged, this petty chief was quite disposed to fight and force him to give up the treasure he was accused of concealing. Perhaps it should be said here, the natives of Ebon are by no means inveterate tobacco smokers, but they are loving it, and the passion is growing upon them. And if supplied with all they want, will be as fond of it as its most devoted lover. In view of such painful facts as these, when once made known, it would seem no one visiting this island would give the article either in trade, or as presents, to a single Love in a Whaleship. It has been very common, but fashionable, for the ladies to spend a few weeks at the Springs or the Seaside in the summer season, for the professed object of improving their health, and their dear papas have to lay aside a few hundred dollars for that purpose every year; while at the same time their mamas have quite another object in view iv their going. But, we will not expose them. In August last, a young lady of this city, of the writer's acquaintance, visited New London, with, no doubt, the desirable object of regaling herself, and enjoying the seabreeze. The time of her proposed absence passed rapidly, and was, no doubt, agreeably spent, yet no tidings were received from her by her friends, until she appeared in person, , of the ship , gallanted by Captain engaged in the whaling service. The Captain is a fine-looking man, affable and desirable company to ak appearances. I will not give the parties names, for I do not wish to be personal. The writer had a curiosity to learn how things had progressed with our fair one, and how she became acquainted with the gallant Captain. And with much impudence I arrived at the following facts, picking up a little here and a little there, until I got the whole story as I suppose. At one time the young lady said—" One evening I received an invitation to attend the She is a very agreeparty of Mrs. W-, able woman, and gave a good party, and I had a pleasant time that evening. 1 had not been there but a few minutes when Captain was introduced. He appeared to be a gentleman in every particular, and proved himself to be an excellent and attentive friend. He invited us all to visit his ship. The next day, in company with his sister, I went on board. It was a new ship, and everything looked clean and tidy. It appeared like a floating palace to ply between Europe and this country in the merchant's service, as I thought. I heard the Captain say at the party, that he would be happy to give any of his friends a passage in his ship. " Well, I thought that I should like to take a trip in her, and visit the Continent, for you know it might improve my health. I must have made some remark during my playful conversation, for the Captain kept me laughing so much that 1 hardly know what I did say. "The next evening again, I found myself and the Captain, and his sister, at the teatable of Mrs. W The next day the Captain had to go to New York on business, and his sister invited me to go with them, and we all three stopped at the St. Nicolas, and we had such a delightful time. O! such amusements." " Well, I do not care, the Captain is a good man." days we returned to New Lon" Inanda few don, one afternoon I again visited the ship, and, being weary, set myself down in the cabin with the Captain. The rest of our company being on deck, the Captain asked me if I would like to take a trip in his ship. I replied that I should if I could have pleasant and agreeable company. The Captain asked me if I did not think he was such. I blushed, and it was reflected on the Captain's face. . . Not a word was said for five minutes, and until he requested an answer. I told him I would give him an answer at Hartford in a few days. " I thought it all over, and come to the conclusion that a trip to England and the Continent would greatly improve my health, and I told the Captain so, in snch a way that he understood it. made preparations for a tour, and one " II asked the Captain how long it would day take him to make a voyage. He said, 'if he had good luck, about two years and a half, for whales are not so easy to be found.' " What, are you engaged in the whaling business." replied the Captain. " Yes," "O, horrid!" said she, " I'll never go in a greasy ship." She refused to see the Captain any more, but, in about ten days afterwards, she received a beautiful box containing the Captain's card and the card of his lady and some wedding cake. He married a very pretty German girl, who had not such a horror of grease.—Hartford Post. The Abundance or the Sea. A tall, noble-looking sea captain arose in the meeting. He said he was from a seaport town in Massachusetts, and away in his distant home we could not well conceive the joy that it gave him to sit by his own fireside, surrounded by his own family, and read the reports of the good work which is going forward in New York and other places. No Christian can read these reports and not have his soul stirred within him ; none could read without praying more, and without trusting in God more; none could read and not feel his soul filled with adoration and wonder at the riches of God's grace in the salvation of thousands on the land and on tho sea. Almost forty years of his life he said he had spent at sea, and his great desire was to see the abundance of the sea converted to Christ. One thing had struck him as a marked feature in this revival. It was the concern everywhere felt for seamen. Wherever he went it was the same. The same in Boston, and New York, and Philadelphia, and Charleston, and New Orleans. Never had there been a revival when so much had been done for the sailor, or when so many men of tha sea had been converted. It is a mistake that seamen are a hardened race. They are not Gospel-hardened as your landsmen are. Speak to them with your heart in your words, and you will find them ready to hear, and very susceptible to religious impressions. They can be easily overcome with kindness. There are no men on the face of the earth that make such good missionaries as the sailors—the men of the sea. He said he was glad to get into a meeting where the voices of seamen had been so often heard, as in the Fulton street prayer-meeting. He related several instances of conviction and conversion among seamen, and spoke of the good which was being accomplished through their instrumentality. Seamen, when converted, make whole-hearted Christians. How short would be the world's conversion, if all our seamen were pious, demoted, exemplary men.—N. Y.

Sturges thus writes, under date of Oct. 2d, 1858, at Ronakiti, Ascension : —" We were right glad to see the Morning Star again dawning upon our little island world, it brings us many joyous mementoes of affection from afar over the sea ; how much good these little leaves, breathing love, do us ! What could we dowithout the Morning Star 1 Wealth, peace and long life be the reward of the dear little owners in this life, and in the world to come life everlasting. " The Hope, whaleship, of New Bedford, is now in port, 13 months from home, 450 bbls sperm. Last Sunday afternoon, a large merchant ship touched here, bound from Manila to Sydney. Merchantmen are frequently touching. Two weeks ago an Austrian man-of-war left this port —she is bound round the world. " We have had a very quiet season. All have enjoyed good health. We love our work more and more, and hope to be allowed to remain at our post. During the last shipping season we had much intercourse with seamen. Services were held in English at my house on shore or on board. There is a growing demand for reading in the Portuguese and Spanish languages. * You our at Strong's hear of good meeting will Island.

Those islands will be a hard field for American mission families. So little grows there to furnish variety of food, drink, or to please the eye. It is a drier, and, in some respects, a more healthy climate than Ascension or Strong's Island. * * With all these discouraging features, they are a very promising people. The Gospel, I have no doubt, will take hold of them with surprising power, under the Divine blessing.

Others interested and thoughtful. An average attendance of 75 every Sabbath. While we were there the first time, the third King died, who has been in power since Mr. Snow went there in '52While at anchor the second time after our return from Ascension, a fourth King was crowned. The people are wasting away— they appear to be a dried-up race, &c, &c." Rev. H. Bingham thus writes, under date, Morning Star, off Strong's Island, Aug. 6, 1858:—"In April last, Konoa and myself took a careful census of our island, and ascertained the population to amount to 3,217. From such sources as I have been able to draw, 1 think it safe to estimate the population of the Kingsmill group at 40,000. Surely we have a large field when compared with other portions of Micronesia. During a residence of seven and a half months on Apian, we have seen only a few vessels—four exclusive of the Morning Star,'' Sec., Sec. Rev. Geo. Piekson, of Ebon, thus writes, under date of Dec. 13, 1858: whale ship from Strong's Island. We left our wires and children alone in charge of the bonnes, &c. The captain knew this, and vet when he sent his boat asbore the next day, he had it armed, to prevent Its being attacked by the savages. They landed on our beach, and when the mate came up to our bouses, a few steps from the beach, he was attended by an armed man ns a body guard; and as he walked about over our premises (for neither he or any of the crew went out of sight of our houses) he had a man walk along just ahead of him displaying a large horse-pistol, to keep the natives at bay, and they expressed haste to get back to the vessel. The natives were highly indignant at this want of confidence in them, thinking that the fact of our residing here in safety ten months should be testimony enough as to the safety of life on the inland, at least for a visit of a few minutes ashore." We have also to acknowledge letters from Rev. Messrs. Snow and Gulick. It affords us much delight to read these communications (one of which amounts to 20 pages) from the Micronesian missionaries. There is an air of buoyant and hopeful Christian cheerfulness running through all their letters. They are happy in their toilsome and selfdenying work. We sympathize with them in their "lonely, but not lonesome, position." In our next number we shall furnish our readers with additional extracts. In acknowledging, per Morning Star, a box containing sprouted cocoanuts from Dr. Pieison, at Ebon, we would express our great delight in witnessing the interchange of seeds, plants and slips which is now being carried on between the lovers of botany and science, on the Sandwich Islands and others residing in Micronesia and Marquesas. Dr. Hillebrand received, by the last trip, 12 new specimens, and Dr. Judd also a fine collection of mangrove plants. We hope the Morning Star, on every trip, "will carry forward the praiseworthy undertaking. uano G Islands.—An old whaling master remarked in our hearing a few days since :— " Years ago, when I was cruising for whales among the low and uninhabited (except by birds) coral islands of the Pacific, I have often puzzled myself to imagine for what purpose God could have created these seemingly useless portions ofthe earth."

At tag visit,breadfruit was out of season, and at such times ooooauuts and pandemia constitute about their only food. Tbe people number from 300 to 400 only. More shoals were found In this lagoon than In any we have seen. They are large and numerous—a vessel could hardly remain under way In the nightwithout striking upon them. They are composed of very sharp and hard coral,and we narrowly escaped once in tbe daytime—though we constantly kept a lookout aloft. Leaving our anchorage at 1 P.M., Dec. 8, for the purpose at examining the northwest shores, as usual In getting under way, I placed my son at the wheel. Very soon he desired to leave, saying he felt slok, and that his head felt numb—aura enough, said I, and mine is feeling tbe aame way. I then thought of a beautiful red fish we had eaten for dinner. The unpleasant a-n-sation Increasing, I spoke of It to my officers, and found them troubled In the aame way. A aquall cam* upon us very suddenly while we were wondering at our very strange sensations, which threw the vessel upon her bearing. I had seen it coming, and was taking In sail, but It burst upon us with great fury, tacks, sheets and sails gave way, or we shouldhave fared worse. The rain fell fsst, and we were very near to one nf theseshoals— which side of it we went I could not tell. My tongue I found was In a measure paralyzed, and my officers, as well as myself, staggered about the decks. The squall lasted abouthalf an hour, when we set our crippled sails, and made for a harbor, reaching It before night. It took us all night to get right again from the effects of the fish. Finishing our workhere, we left for Ebon on the 13th Dec., and arrived neat morning ; the trades blowing very strong, with very squally and rainy weather, we could not enter the lagoon, aa there la only one channel, which is vary small,and upon the B.W. part of the group. We left Ebon on the 19th—touched at JVavarlk on'the nth. Had an Interviewwith Iv chief—a fine fellow I aaw at Ebon at our former visit—made him some presenU, and left In half-anhour. Sunday morning the 19th, was surprised at seeing land very near ahead, as none Is shown In my charts In that place -, on coming up with It, found it to be a group of 14 Islands, encircling three sides of a beautllul lagoon, the western part being protected by a reef with a small channel. A canoe came off having two men on board ; I gave them aome presenU, asked the name of thegroup, which la Lai or Rat, and left this little gem, the lagoon of which la about four miles across, and lies In north latitude 00, and east longitude l«o° 29. The canoe brought off aome very fine breadfruit and cocoanuta. Continuing our course, we passed over the assigned position of BcanU Island, In the night, with a bright full moon, and a sharp lookout, but nothing was seen. Next day came up with an island named by the charts Eschscholu Island i at noon we were close In shore, in lat. 11 Silt., long. IM 37 E. oonld see twelve islands lying In east and west directions. We being about the center, stood for a channel three miles In width, between two islands; on getting near, we could see the bottom stretching across—sent a boat to sound, found 11 fathoms, and sailed over, seeing very distinctly tho various colored corals comprising the reef under our koel as we dashed along. After passing this bar, foundourselves in smooth water ; soon after, aaw land in the N.W., and also in iV.E., also a shoal with 10 —thorns water over It—of course I was now convinced that we had entered a spacious lagoon. I counted from aloft 14 la—nds, and the lagoon must Ie twenty miles across at least. We tacked and Stood out, speaking a canoe on our way, with a chief on board, who In—fined us that the name of the group was Big—l. We cleared tbe western extremity at sunset, which is a circular reef. Tola part is vary dangerous, aa all tbe adjoining islets are small and vary low, aome of them having only a few bushes. I noticed on* peculiarity In this group, thebars between the islandsand shoals inside are mora sunken than any we have seen heretofore, with several deep channels Into the lagoon. Tbe canoe followed aa for aome time after we had left tbe lagoon, and only gam ap tha chaae when we made al) sailaway from them.

C. Damon Dear Sir:— Although you will douhtless t-f made acquainted with the movement- of the Morning Star from other sources, yet I will give you a sketch in my own way. We arrived at Apian after a pleasant passage of 15 tiny-, ami found Mr. antl Mrs. Bingham In good health, and prospering In their work. We spent a pleasant Sabbath with them, and heard Mr. ft. preach to 150 natives, assembled as usual in a large council bouse. Leaving Apian ou the 19th July, with Mr. and Mrs. Bingham on board, we run over to Tarawa, only five miles from Apian, and spent two days in examining it. Welanded, and had a talkwith the chiefs, who seemed anxious to have missionaries stop with them at once. Leaving, we arrived at Khon on the 25th, finding Rev. Messrs. Piersnn and Doane, with their families, in good health and in great favor with the chiefs and people. Dr. Pierson preached to a housefullSabbath morning at his own residence, and Mr. Doane on board the Morning Star In the afternoon. Taking Dr. P. antl family on hoard, we sailed for Strong's Island Aug. 2d, where we arrived on the 7th. Rev. Mr. Snow and family also we found In good health. Here Mrs. Bingham's health, which for several days had been giving way, failed entirely, and she was removed to Dove Island, Mr. Snow's residence, and a course of typhoid fever followed, prostrating her to a very low state, and fears were entertained that the mission might be deprived of the services of this excellent and devoted lady; but the Lord haa kept her for his work among the people, to whom sheis very strongly attached. The original Intention had been to assemble at Ascension for General Meeting; now. however, It was arranged that Mr. Snow should at once proceed to Ascension Island, proposing to Messrs. Oulick and Sturges to attend at Strong's Island. One strong consideration was to receive the aid of Dr. Oulick In Mrs. B.s case. In addition to that of Dr. Pierson—accordingly we sailed Aug. 11, with Mr. Snow, Mr. Roberts, Mrs. Oulick and family, nnd Mr. Mahoeand wife on board,and arrived at that island on the 18th. finding all well. On the 22d, we left for Strong's Island, arriving back on the 27th. Mrs. B. we found still quite low. General Meeting over, we sailed again for Ascension Sept. 8, touching at McAklll's and Wellington Islands, reaching our port on the 18th—the fourth day after making the island, having calm and unfavorabe winds. Leaving Mr. and Mrs. Roberts at Ascension, we sailed Oot. 6, andarrived the third time at Strong's Island on the 12th. Pound Mrs. Bingham in perfect health, and thatDr. Pierson, with his family, had left for Ebon In the Roscoe. Taking Mr. and Mrs. Bingham on board, we sailed on the 15th forEbon, arriving at that place on the 23d, sailing into the lagoon with a fair wind .md, finding all well, we left on the 28th for Apian, taking Mr. Doane on board. Arrived at Apian Nov. 0. On the 13th,sailed for the Mulgrave Islands, where we arrived the evening ofthe 17th—stood close In shore—at 10 P.M., with _, bright moon, having fine weather, we lay by so near the inowwhite beach that we could hear the shouts of the natives, and even distinctly hear them talking with each other. Tires were lighted, and soon a large canoe was seen sailing toward us. She came alongside, and two men came on board, staying till about midnight, whan we vent them on shore telling them to come off in the morning, which they tailed not to do. We found a fine *hip-rhannel on the north shore of thegroup, and entered the beautiful lagoon in a fresh gale nnd squally weather, on Sunday, Nov. 21, and, after shying about among the coral reefs, 1 discovered from aloft a small cove under a beautiful Island,called by the natives Chabbunwunl. We ran in between the outer reefs and came to anchor, finding it a fine and secure place, which 1 have named Kttrmß Covit. We were all very glad to avail ourselves of its shelter after knocking about outside for several days and nights in stormy weather. Natives soon came off, but, on being told It was Sunday, and desired to return to shore, they readily complied. The average height of the islands of this group does not exceed five feet above high water mark, and they are only a few rods in width—say five minutes walk. They are very beautiful and many of them abound with breadfruit.cocoanuts,pnndanus, and other tree*. The bottom everywhere is coral; at our anchorage, the water was fn ni 10 to 15 fathoms, and 25 fathoms was the deepest found in mld-lagoon. A vessel entering this lagoon must depend entirely upon her weight of metal, as such a thing as holding-ground cannot be found. Our own is very heavy, and the Morning Star has not yet, on this voyage, started an anchor with a propor scopeof cable. The King, chiefs, and people of Milll were very greatly rejoiced at our visit, and wished Mr. Doane to stay with them. They are very anxious to have a missionary among them,and It Is to be hoped their wishes can be compiled with. The King gave in.: a very beautiful island, and said If I would come and live on it, he would have me a nice house built, and give me more land. They related to us some particulars concerning the Globe mutineers,anil showed us where the ship was anchored, which was outside, very close to the shore, iv a very exposed position, although, as Is known, she escaped. Mr. Doane cruisedamong *hevarious islands in a large canoe belonging to the King, accompanied by him, in order to ascertain thenumber of Inhabitant*. He thinks 600 the extent at the time or our visit. The N.K. trades were Just setting In, and we had the wind most of the time very strong, with squally and rainy weather. There are four deep-water channels, all upon the north shores. One of them Is a mile in width. The aouth point of the group is In lat. 5° 58 N., long. 172° 2-30 E. ; IU northern extreme lit. 0° 20 N., long. 171° 4ft X.; In the central part of the lagoon are three small shoals, on which are breakers—no other danger exists. We left Milll or Mulgrave Island on the 20th Nor. for Arrowsmith Island—called Maturo by the natives—and arrived next day sailed close along Its southern shore. About its eastern point the land is broken, and a canoe came out ofa small opening—but soon we found it continuous and unbroken for _4 miles—the reef and chain of islets being to the north. It is a magnificent Island. The ground where Mr. Doane and myself landed is from six to ten feet high. It has elegant forests of breadfruitand nandanus trees. Cocoanuts of course abound bananas also seemed to be plentiful. We walked across the Island to the lagoon-side escorted by 300 to 400 natives—men, women and children. Theyappeared to be filled with wonder and delight. On the shore of the lagoon the sight was most delightful—about twenty large canoes lay upon the beach. We made the chiefs some presents. We left the Island on the evening of Dec. 1 for Bougham's group *, arrived and entered Its lagoon on the next day, anchoring under an island called Imurott, near tbe spot where, five years since, a trading schooner was cut off. Capt. McKemie and all hands, save one, were killed. The one saved Is a native of Manila, and is now with me. The vessel anchored the day before the massacre. The Captain was carried ashore from bis boat on the back of a native, and tbe schooner lay very (dose to shore. A native with a hatchet cot the Captain's head nearly off, which was the signal for those on board to commence the work of death. Many natives being on board, soon all were dead, except the above mentioned. He was at wcrk aloft—the , — »« ° • s �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1859. 14 no doubt, be found upon seen* others, although the Ralick and Radack chainshave been but very Imperfectly surveyed. The island supposed so harebeen discovered by my predecessor last yw can be (band upon the old charts of JVorie, and Is called PriDoessa Island. Tbe south' channel also of the Apian lagoon Is distinctly marked In the rerj excellent charts of the Kingsmill group by Commodore Wilkes. Standing to the north, we passed over the given position of Halcyon Island, and saw nothing. January 8, lat. 31 ° 00 JV., long. 174° 42 X., took a heavy gale from S. W. which brought the packet down to straight Jacket for lo hours; 13th, lat 31 ° 33 JV., long. 174° 30 W., experienced another gale, heavier than the first, from thesouthward—was hove to also In this 10 hours,under a storm trysail 19th,took a third gale, near as hard as both the former, the wind W.jV.W., we scud E.B.E. under close-reefed topsail and storm trysail, and finally reefed foresail for 30 hours, our decks drenched fore and aft; during this gale we had very heavy squalls and much lightning, with a very heavy sea running, but the Packet behaved remarkably well. Our passage thus fur has been a very boisterous one, if I except six days of calm and doldrums. When standing to the north in the trades, they were very strong and very squally, frequentlybringing us down to a closereef, and once furled our foretopsall. Through it all, the JWorning Star has proved herself an able boat In all sorts of weather. In speaking of Arrowsmith Island, I forgot to mention the fact that I found It placed In both my charts (Blunts and Imray's) 12 miles south of Its true position. Its western point lies in lat. 7 16, JV., long. 171° 00 K. In all the lagoons I found high water at fulland change of the moon to take place at halfpast 3, with a rise of fire feet—neap tides not over two feet; their 'seaward shores are boldand steep, having no outstanding -, ° dangers. Upon ourarrival at the Mulgraves, we attempted to enter tbe lagoon by a narrow channel,which we supposed was the only one, and through which a ship cannot pass inward while the trades are blowing—working as near as possible, we anchored upon the coral shelf, awaiting a chance to enter. I knew the tide was running flood at the time, and rising upon tlie shore, but foundit running out of the lagoon at the rate of 3 knots ; this ran fornine hours, and we dragged off theshelf at sunset, leaving the tide running out still knots. This passage Is In part to leeward, and when, afterwards, we found three deep channels to windward,into which the trade-winds were pouring its waters, we didnot wonder at the pouring out to leeward. They have no bananas at Mulgrave, so we left some very nice plants. The people of the Kadack and Ralick chains are great seamen, aa well as navigators, frequentlymaking voyages of hundreds of miles In their frail canoes, with their lumberingoutriggers, the whole or the fastening being but small cord, made of cocoanut husk. Strong's and Ascension Islanders are keepers at home. Wa were at Strong's Island when the death of the King took place. I was present at theburial, and also at theceremonies attending the coronationof the new King. A more perfect scene of heathen mummery can hardly be Imagined. The days af the Strong's Islanders seem to be numbered—-only 800 remain. They are very pleasant and agreeable in their intercourse with strangers, as are also the people of Ebonand Mulgrave's. Tbepeople of the Kingsmill group, on the contrary, are of a rather morose _ turn. We have now been for three days running in a JV.K. gale, under close-reefed sails, and everything and everybody well wet down—-from Lady Faith to the man at the wheel. Tbe qualities of the Morning Star have been well tried on this passage, and I think a more able and well-behaved vessel ol her class in heavy weather, is not yetbuilt. Sunday 23d, 1P.M., 1am happy to say, wehave justraised the land, thecentralpart of Molokai. Wellbuffetedwe have been ever since the last Sabbath.

S £*yr- ThePanama Rail-Road Company take* this method "f informing those interested in the Whaling busi MJ___J_ir ne»_, of the advantages offered by the Railroad 9tmmtm across the Isthmus of Panama, for the shipment of Oil from the Pacific to theUnited States, v.id for sending outfitsand supplies from theUnited State* to Panama. The Railroad has been in regular and successful operation for more than two years, and Its capacity for the transportation of every description of merchandise, including Oil, Provisions, &c, has been fully tested. The attention of several Captains of whaleships has recently been'turned to the subject of shipping theiroil from Panama to New York during thepresent season, and the Panama Rail-Road Company has made arrangements to afford every facility which may be required for the accomplishment of this Important object. A Pier, 460 feet long, has been built In the bay of Panama, to the end of which Freight Cars are run to receive cargoes from lighters or vessels lying alongside, and deliver the same alongside of vessels at Aspinwall. Vessels of from 200 to 300 tons can lie at the Pier with Bafety, grounding in the mud at low water. The vessels to and from Aspinwall are fast-sailingbrigs, be longing to theRail-Road Company, and the Company Is pre pared to receive oil at Panama and deliver It In New York, under through It 111wof Lading at k the rateofseren cents per gallon, if received at the Pier, and eight cents per gallon if received in the harbor from ship's tackles, charging for the capacity of the casks, without allowing for wantage. For whalebone, one and one-half cents per pound. This charge covers every expense from Panama to New York, in case the oilis sent through the Superintendent or Commercial Agent ofthe Panama Rail-Road Company, Insurance excepted. The freights may be made payable on the Isthmus or in New York at the option of the shipper. The vessels of the Company sail regularly semi-monthly, and the averagepassages to and from Aspinwall are about twenty to twenty-five days. The time occupied In crossing the Ishmus is fourhours. Oil, during its transit across the Isthmus, will be covered with canvas, or conveyed in covered cars, and owners may be assured that every care will be takentoprevent leakage. Severalcargoeshave already been conveyed to New York with out the slightest loss. Oil or other (roods consigned for transportation to the Superintendent ofthe PanamaRail-Road Company, or to William Nrlnon, Commercial Agent ofthe Company at Panama, will bereceived and forwarded with the greatest despatch.

During the few days following his death, every effort was made to recover his body. Those efforts were partially successful. Capt. Clerke remarks, in regard to a bundle that was delivered to him by the natives found in " We it both the hands of Capt. Cook entire, which were well-known from a remarkable scar on one of them, that divided the thumb from the fore finger, the whole length of the metacarpal bone; the skull, but with the scalp separated from it, and the bones that form the face wanting; both arms, the thigh and leg bones, &c. Nothing now remained but to perform the last offices to our great and unfortunate commander. In the afternoon, (Feb. 21, Sunday,) the bones having been put into a coffin, and the service read over them, they were committed to the deep with the usual military honors. What our feelings were on this occasion, I leave the world to conceive." (Sec Cook's Voyages.) It was our privilege to visit Kealakeakua Bay on the anniversary of Cook's buriat. Dull must be the mind that would not on such a spot md on such an anniversary be aroused to deepreflection and solemn meditation ! The contrast between the scenes witnessed Sabbath day, Feb. 21, 1779,and Sabbath day, Feb. 20, 1859, was most striking. Eighty years ago occurred Cook's death and burial. This year, at the same season, in the placid waters of the bay, lay at anchor H. B. M.'s ship Calypso, at mast head flew : HONOLULU, MARCH 5, 1859. the royal standard of his Majesty Kamehameha IV.

He was accustomed, during hie residence in Connecticut, to visit in various parts of the State, and it was during one of these visits that the incident occurred to which there is an allusion in the following extract, copied from a late American Messenger : Washington's Birth Day, Feb. 22p.— Seed Sown bt Obookiau. —A atudent of a western The one hundred and twenty-seventh birth- college, who spent his vacation as a colporteur in Inwrites " I met an elderly lady, to whom I day of Washington appears to have been diana, presented a tract, when she informed me that she bad duly recognized and remembered by the tracts which were given her by Henry Obooklah, of Americans in Honolulu, as appears from the the Sandwich Islands, more than forty years ago, in Connecticut, while he distributing good books. newspaper reports.

Let me narrate to you some of the incidents of our arrival, and some of the incidents which have occurred during our short residence, and some facts of an historical character we have gathered, concerning this people and foreigners. It was on December 5, 1857, in the afternoon of that day, we dropped anchor in the mouth of the channel leading to the lagoon. We sighted the island about 11 o'clock, A. M., and for the six hours' run up to the time of anchoring, we had in sight that beautiful view which a coral island presents —a low, long range of verdure skirting the horizon, with the out-croppings, here and there, of cocoanut trees, some more lofty than others, and in the case of our island accompanied by the bread-fruit tree. The two, indeed, seemed to rival each otherwhich should lift its coronal nearest the heavens—a very suggestive thought, what struggles our redeemed nature should make to rear itself above our depraved one, up even to the heaven of heavens. As we neared the island, and up to the moment of anchoring, our thoughts were busy as to how we should be received by the natives. They—the chiefs residing upon the island at the time of our passage by, down to Apian—had promised protection if we would make here our homes. They assured us that such too would be the feelings of the highest chief, on his return from the north. But the natives of Ebon have been considered treacherous fellows; they have a bad name among seamen. We ourselves Were assured we were throwing away our lives in going to seek a home among them. One captain told us—being asked his views of landing here, snapping his fingers—he would not give that for our heads, should we once get into the power of the people. And another, largely conversant with native character, said the people could not be trusted. Our chief on Ponape urged us to remain with him, if we valued our lives. The king of Strong's Island, learning that Dr. Pierson was about to come here, endeavored to persuade him by no means to take his companion, in which view the Dr. and Mrs. Pierson not agreeing, his highness then suggested he had better leave part of his goods behind; in case ofa repulse or any danger, he could have j»sAething to fall back upon. They thought Rest to follow the advice. With these facts, and others we had gotten by the way—with the decided impression the natives of Ebon at* bore us on, did we ask ourselves what would be our reception ? But on we sailed and anchored, feeling we must go forward as fast as our Master opened the way. It was late in the day when the anchor was let go. The setting sun was bidding us farewell for another day, with his lingering rays. But at this late hour, my associate and self felt a little curiosity to see something of our new home before Monday, and it was suggested, suppose we take the boat and try the natives : we will go ashore and look a little way up into the island, among the rich groves of bread-fruit and cocoanut trees. We went; and no sooner had we landed than our boat was surrounded by natives, and laid hold of and drawn upon the shore, and we were escorted to the residence of the high chief. Before and behind us were numbers of these treacherous fellows. Whither were they alluring us—to some ambush or the house of a friend ? It was the lalter, most evidently, for all along our path one and another native would come running out with what we were pleased to call a " peace-offering "—a well baked bread-fruit. Our visit was pleasant; we saw nothing to excite our fears. As the next day was the Sabbath, it was the wish of all that we might not be visited by the natives ; we wanted to spend the day as much by ourselves as we could. If we suffered natives on board, their idle curiosity would lead them to put themselves where they might not be wanted, or intrude upon scenes to see which could be of no use to them. But could such rude fellows be induced to remainaway from us for twenty-four hours ? With all their lust for blood and plunder, or their desire to trade, a vessel lying right by their side, within a stone's throw of land, one unarmed, and one they could easily master in the darkness of the night) or daylight either, should they attempt it ? If we asked the high chief this favor, had he authority to enforce it? He was told our wishes. He was told we feared and loved Jehovah. He was told we wished not to be visited by a single canoe on the Sabbath. He replied, "No one should do so." The Sabbath dawned. We looked out upon the quiet waters of the lagoon, and up and down the coast, expecting to see canoes from every direction making their way to us ; but, save a few sails gliding about within the reef, for pleasure, evidently viewing us from a distance, not one did we see bearing down towards the Morning Star. The day wore on— we had our religious meetings —we sang and prayed—the melody of our voices mingled with the melody of the breaking waves on shore. We walked the deck, but none were there of natives to molest us. The sun was about sinking to rest, and just then a lone trade. The native was told it was yet Sabbath. He replied, be thought as the sun was about set, the day was gone ; but he left to with his articles of traffic. Surely " this is the Lord's doings; it is marvellous in our eyes," repeated we to ourselves through that day, as we saw how, by some mysterious influence, the rude and, as reported, savage natives of Ebon were both restrained from all violent attacks upon us, and led even to respect our wishes, that not a single canoe should move itself beside our vessel. On Monday morning the natives knew the taboo-emau of Ebon was removed, and from every direction almost, proas and every available craft came sailingtowards us. We were surrounded by them. The native vessels crowded our sides, the natives crowded on deck. Was this a hostile demonstration ? Was the little Morning Star about to suffer the fate a similarly rigged vessel did a few years since, not many stones' throw distant, her crew to be massacred and her hull burnt to the water's edge, or was it only a demonstration of friendship? This large body of canoes and these natives, all wild with excitement, were for peace. We had no reason to fear. The chiefs came to learn the wishes of our captain, and lend a helping hand, had he need of it to enter the lagoon. It was some three or four days after this before Captain Moore decided to enter the lagoon—to do what never before had been done. Was it safe, judicious ? Providence seemed plainly to point that way. Here again our feelings of safety were mingled with those of fear. The passage was narrow, and winding somewhat, with a strong current in the out-flowing of the tide. We were, however, to take the slack of the tide, with hawsers passed out in front, and the bark led through this channel by a hundred hands or more. Would they " gently lead " our beloved vessel, or would they give a bias to hor headings and let her bring up upon the coral banks, and then, in the confusion of the moment, play us a game they of a neighboring island played upon Captain McKenzie ? We made the venture. We safely passed through into the quiet waters within, and here for two weeks was moored the Morning Star, daily crowded by natives, completely in their power. But we were safe. No one that we know of plotted our destruction. We missionaries were engaged in rearing our dwellings and moved into them, and all this time unmolested. Eight months have since passed, and yet nothing worthy serious notice has befallen us—perhaps rather we should say it is quite remarkable we have suffered so little.

When they land upon an island, unless cut off in a short time, they get recruited and with good winds start for home. It is always a rule rigidly observed, not to begin a voyage unless the wind is good and sky fair, or weather which will indicate a good wind for a day or so. The time of starting is usually late in the afternoon, and moonlight night, at least a cloudless sky. The stars, single and in constellations, are their finger-boards, and they read them with great accuracy. They have marked off a large number of star-clusters. It is a matter of no little surprise how accurately they guide themselves from island to island. One would think a coral island would be sufficiently difficult to find by a well navigated ship; but for a proa, guided only by the winds, currents and stars, to start out to sea, expecting to find a low piece of land, which can be seen only ten or twelve miles distant from deck, would be almost a fool-hardy act. But experience makes perfect. As with the old Romans, and Africans, and Britons, and other maritime nations, who long navigated unknown seas, so it is with the roving natives of Ebon and the Kalick.

Pele and her family are said to have had a contest, in which they were almost overpowered, with Kamapuaa, half hoc and half man ; a gigantic animal, theCentaur of Hawaii. He traveled from Oahu to countries beyond the heavens, or where they supposed tbe sky to Join theaea. In his route he visitedKilauea, and desired to pay his addresses to Pele. She rejected him with contempt, impolitely calling him "a bog, and the son of a hog." In endeavoring to drive him away, a fierce battle took place. Pele (leu to her house, and her fires were nearly extinguished by great quantities of water, which Kamapuaa poured into the crater; the thirsty family, however, soon drank it op,and finally obtained the mastery over the demi hog, forcing him Into the sea, amidst a shower of fire and atone.. This tale probably originated from an eruption, In which thelava of thevolcano came in coutact with the ocean. Another account statesthatbe conquered Pele, and they were quietly married; in ronsequanre or which no more islands were formed, or extensive eruptions look place.—See Janes' History. �THE FRIEND, MARCH, responded to the ideas arising in the mind when viewing the grand spectacle. We hope, however, by summoning to our aid some of their recorded testimony, to embody such an amount of information as will convey a tolerably correct outline, at least, of the great eruption which has recently occurred on the northwest slope of Mauna Loa, on Hawaii. Pele as First Seen.—The following paragraphs were written by the Rev. L. Lyons, residing at Waimea, Hawaii. The mission premises at Waimea are peculiarly well situated for making distant observations. On Sabbath, Jan. 23d, vulcanic smoke was seen gathering on Manna Loa. In tbe evening the mountain presented a grand yet fearful spectacle. Two streams of fire were issuing from two different sources, and flowing, apparently, in two different directions. The whole region, earth and heaven, were lighted up, and even the interior of our houses received the lurid volcanic light direct from its source. In the morning of the second day, we could discern where the eruptions were. One appeared to be very near the top of the mountain, but its stream and smoke soon after disappeared. The other was on the north side, furtherbelow the top. and was sending out its fires in a north-westerly direction. On the second and third nights, tbe dense smoke and clouds prevented us from having a fair view of Pele's doings; but on the four following nights we had a view—and such a scene! It seemed as though the eye could never weary in gazing at it. The burning crater seemed to be constantly enlarging and throwing up its volumes of liquid fire above the mouth of the crater—l will not venture to say how high—and the fiery stream rolled onward and onward, still adding grandeur and terror as it proceeded, till, on the morning of the 31st, about sunrise, the stream was compelled, though reluctantly, to stop, by meeting the waters of the ocean. Even then its resistless and opposing energy carried it on some distance into the sea. The poor inhabitants of Wainanalii, the name of the village where the fire reached the ocean, were aroused at the midnight hour by the hissing and roaring of the approaching fire, and had but just time to save themselves. Some of the houses of the inland portion of the village were partly surrounded before the inmates were aware of their danger. Wainanalii is near the northern boundary of North Kona, and about twelve or fourteen miles from Kawaihae. It is, of course, all destroyed, and its pleasant little harbor all filled up with lava. The volcanic stream was one mile wide or more in some places, and much less in others. It crossed the Kona rood and interrupted the mail communication. The whole distance of the flow from the crater to the sea is some forty miles." " Pele Spouting.—During a period ofnearly there was a display of intense fiery activity that must have been of surpassing grandeur. Those permitted to behold it were highly favored. An English traveler, Mr. Vaudrey, was encamped near the crater for several days, and saw all that was to be seen. We met him at Kealakeakua, on the evening of his return, February 19. The jets rose one, two, three hundred feet, and, said Mr. V., 1 would not say, but even five hundred "feet!" For several days they,jrere incessant, but gradually died away until they no longer appeared to rise above the crater's rim. Prof. Alexander, in an interesting communication appearing in the Advertiser of February 24th, remarks as fortbws •' As we began to emerge from the woods we had a fine view of the jet playing, at a distance of twenty-five miles, to the height, as we aftertwo weeks after the volcano burst forth, : 18 59. 21 less than thirty, and may exceed fifty square miles.

When lost among the moss of surrounding lava." Mr. Paris's house were open, The descriptions given by Mr. Vaudrey, fully confirm this highly colored picture, sketched by the editor of the Advertiser. Pele Roaring.—Visitors approaching near the active craters are forcibly impressed with the intense activity within, by the deafening sounds which fall upon the ear. Prof. Alexander compares the noise of the flow to " a roar like that of heavy surf." Mr. Vaudrey compared the noise to that of the falls of Niagara, incessant, deep and solemn. Pele Exploding.—During the morning of February 21st, long before we caught a view of either stream or crater, and while at many miles distance, we heard loud explosions, like those of heavy cannon. The sound came booming across the wide plain, and it required no stretch of the fancy to imagine they might have been actual discharges from a fort or man-of-war. On subsequently visiting the lava stream, we readily saw how these explosions were produced. The pent up gasses must find vent, and there was no little danger, if you approached too near the stream, of being " blown up." Pele Flowing.—Lava, when in a liquid state, resembles the molten contents of an iron foundry when in full blast. If a person has ever witnessed the issuing of the melted iron, when the clay or sand is removed from the opening at tbe bottom of a furnace in a foundry, then he may form a tolerably correct idea of lava flowing in a liquid state. It cools very rapidly upon being exposed to the atmosphere, which will account for the surface of the stream soon becoming hard, while a few inches below, the hot lava is flowing at a rate corresponding to the angle of inclination. When lava flows over a precipice, or down a mountainous declivity, the speed is exceedingly rapid, especially when there is heavy pressure in the rear. Upon a level surface the flow is slow, and such as will allow the spectator to approach within a very few feet. The extent of country which has been overspread by this eruption cannot be accurately stated, but it must embrace not the windows of it would blow in and overspread his books and furniture. It has the appearance of finely drawn glass. Visitors at the old crater of Kilauea will not need a description of " Pele's hair." Pele at Night.—The most favorable time for viewing the craters, eruptions and streams, is at night. The appearance from the encampment was that of a distantcity in flames. At times the reflection from the clouds is very bright and exceedingly grand. The light has been seen at sea over fifty miles, and some have asserted as far as one hundred. The view is continually ohanging, according to the activity at the fountain head, and the progress of the various streams through the forests and over the plains. We might add many additional remarks upon the recent eruption and its ever-changing appearances. It is a fruitful topic for discussion, and the scene admits of endless descriptions, A person who has once gazed upon the burning mountain, will never forget the Impression made upon the mind. The present eruption will not want for able pens to portray its wild, bold and terrific features. Party after party have visited the scene of action. We cannot refrain, in concluding our remarks, from expressing our great obligations to' the Captain and wardroom officers of H. B. M's ship Calypso, for their kind hospitality during our late trip to Kealakeakua. It has never before been our privilege to be so comfortable while upon a trip among the islands. Long shall we remember our voy-. aging companions, and the many pleasant incidents connected with the late visit of the Calypso to Hawaii. jy Last Thursday evening, the 3d tart., Proaaawiii W. D.

The Beach-comber's Dream. : — Narrative. —— San Francisco, Oct. 5, 1858. the passengers who leave for New Among York in the steamer for Panama, to-day, is Captain J. N. Knowles, of the clipper ship Wild Wave, which has been missing for several months, and long since given up as h»t, with all on board. As the Captain's story is a very interesting one, I have obtained the particulars from him for your readers. The ship left New York in September last, for San Francisco, where shp arrived on the 14th of January, leaving again in ballast on the 10th February last for Valparaiso. The strong easterly winds which prevailed for some time after starting, forced the vessel considerably to the westward of the usual track of vessels bound for the South American ports. All went well, however, until the night of the 4th of March. Capt. Knowles had taken fair observations daily, and on the night in question supposed himself at least sixteen or eighteen miles from any land. An hour after midnight he discovered brokers upon the Jee bow. The helm was pat hard down, but the ship misstayed, and, while wearing, struck upon a sunken coral reef, and soon fell over pn her side and bilged. A heavy surf broke over the ship, and it became eyident at once thst she must be lost been removed to Norfolk Island. In landing, too, the life-boat was stove and ruined. Of course the unfortunate men were now without a boat of any description, and had no tools with which to construct one. There seemed to be nothing for them to do but possess themselves in patience until next Feoruary or March, when they might hope for succor by the whaling fleet bound up the Pacific. The island abounds in tropical fruits, which, with goats and chickens left by the late settlers, promised an abundant support meantime. So the Captain fitted up a deserted tenement, and made himself comfortable as possible. An old gun-barrel picked up on the island was mounted upon a rude stock so that one man could fire it with a match while it was aimed by another, in this dual fashion the goats were brought down for meat. In walking about the island one day, they found old rusty tools, consisting of a few axes, planes and augers. With these the Captain determined to build a boat to get •way with, and the party proceeded at once to put the plan into execution. Of course it was no small undertaking, for they had no saws, nor rigging, nor iron-work for fastenings. They went into the woods, however, with their axes, hewed a single plank out of each tree, until the whole wns re»adv to put ' . together. In the meantime they found a few nails, and burned a couple of houses to get more. With these and wooden pins, they fastened the vessel, and in about three and a half months, had it ready to launch, a trim looking, though frail schooner, thirty feet in length. From a quantity of condemned ropes picked up on the island, they made oakum to caulk the seams, as well as rigging for the schooner. The sail of the life boat, and some old sail cloth, also picked up t>t Pitcairn's Island, furnished sails for the 'John Adams, as the craft was christened. From a bucket of tar, and several pounds of rosin, found in a deserted tenement, the bottom seams were pa id,and »he rest were paintedwith some refuse white lead from the same source. The hold was three feet deep and nine feet wide, and well decked over. It onlyremained to get a set of colors. These the Captain soon provided, an old shirt furnishing the white stripes and stars, some trimming from the church pulpit the red, and the curtains before the bunk in the house furnished the blue for the field. After being on the island four and a half months the Adams was launched, provision-, ed with jerked goat's meat, chichens, fruits, a few cans of preserved meats, and an abundance of water. Three of the sailors, fearful of the craft, preferred to remain where they were. So Capt. Knowles, his mate, and two men set sail from Pitcairn's on the 3d of July for Tahiti, intending to call in at Oeno Island, where he had left 32 men,. The first night out they encountered a severe gale from the northwest, which lasted three days, forcing them so far eastward, that they could not make Oeno. They bore away accordingly for the Marquesas, 1,300 miles from Pitcairn's, where they arrived safely on the sth of August. Here they found the Uflited States sloop-of-war Vandalia, Commander Sinclair, who immediatly got under weigh for Tahiti, to get wood and water, and proceee} thence to the rescue of the Wild If(ft>e> crew, remaining on Oeno and Pitcairn's. To Tahiti Captain K. and his companions also proceeded. The mate went, with the Vandalia, on her errand of mercy, and Captain Knowles, was carried by the French frigate Eurydice to Honolulu, whence he started for San Francisco on the Bark Yankee, arriving here on the 28th Sept., bringing his colors and his specie with him. He starts for hpme to-day, as already stated, and carries the first news of his ship which has reached the East since last spring. His family, who liye at Cape Cod, have long since given up all hope of ever hearing from him, as he learned from his friends here. He is evidently an intelligent and honorable gentleman, and his misfortunes command the sympathies of the San Francisco merchants and — shippers.

Carr, we learn with regret the losa of the bark Black Warrior, of this port. The particulars, as we gather them from Captain Brown, who returned in the schooner, are these: The Black Warrior arrived at Bartholomew's Bay from the Arctic Nov. 2d, where Bhe found the tender waiting her arrival and all well on board. On the 28th she and the tender safely entered Frenchman's Lagoon and anchored in 5 1-2 fathoms. The following two weeks the tender was employed cruising about for whales, but with no success. Deo. 20 Capt. Brown concluded to leave the lagoon, and with three boats from the Metropolis, four from the Lark and three from other ships outside, to tow in case of accident, thebark got under way. After passing the bar, it was observed that the strong current was drifting her towards the shore, against a fair breeze and all the boats towing. Her anchors were let go, but the windlass giving out, she payed onto the rocks and commenced thumping where nil attempts to save her were vain. Finding the vessel filling rapidly, efforts were made to save part of her cargo. The bark had on board 300 barrels oil and had received from the tender 400 seal skins, 40 barrels seal oil, and 25 barrels salted fish. Only 90 barrels of oil, and some of the gear and effects of the ship were saved, and are on board the Emerald and Hillman. At daylight on the 21st not a vestige of the bark remained, except the timbers and casks floating about. The officers and crew were divided around among the four ships in the Bay. The Black Warrior was owned at this port, and sailed at on expense of about 810,000, and her cargo was worth perhaps 86,0(XI, on which there is no insurance. Capt. Brown owned one quarter, and the community will sympathize with him in his loss.—Pac. Com. Adv. Information Wanted. Lahaina, Jan. 7, 1859.

APRIL 20, 1859 Visit of Rev. V. D. Collins. Ministers of the Gospel are not so plenty Sandwich Islands but it is very pleahave a clerical brother make us a visit. With the late visit of the Rev. Mr. Collins, there are many pleasant associations. We had heard of him as Bible Agent, traveling through South America. He spent several years in Rio and other portions of the continent, visiting Paraguay, and crossing the Andes to Chile. Besides preaching in the Fort Street Church and the Chapel several times, he delivered two lectures at the Bethel, at the request of the Honolulu Lyceum. The lectures were of a superior order, and delivered in a style evincing ripe scholarship, keen observation and rare oratorical powers. The subject of his lectures was the social and political condition of the South American Republics. In alluding to his visit in Paraguay, he remarked that he had an interview with the Dictator Lopez, the very day that President Buchanan's message arrived, declaring war! Lopez conversed freely upon the subject of the difficulties between his government and the United States, concluding with this remark, referring to President Buchanan, whose message he hMd in his hand, " Let him come, we are ready!" A son of Lopez is at the head of tie naval and military affairs; hence we shal! watch with interest the result of the expedition sent out by the U. S. government, an account of at the sant to which was published in the January number of the Friend. Mr. Collins left Honolulu, a passenger on board the Melita, bound for Japan and the Amoor river. If a favorable opportunity offers, he may return to the United States society. The Washington Tragedy. In all our late American exchanges, both secular and religious, we find much discussion of the most melancholy and disgraceful scenes in Washington connected with the homicide of Key, in the street, by Sickles. Our readers are probably familiar with the facts, for they have been published, over and over, in the papers. Respecting the guilty conduct of such persons as Key and Sickles' wife, the son of Sirach uttered his opinion more than two thousand years ago : " A man that breaketh wedlock * This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and where he suspected not he shall be taken." 44 Thus shall it go with the wife that leaveth her husband. For, first, she hath disobeyed the law of the Most High ; and, secondly, she hath trespassed against her own husband; and, thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery. * * * She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her reproach shall not be blotted out." Ecclesiasticus xxiii. The son of- Sirach remarks -that such persons only fear the eyes of men, forgetting, or not knowing, that " the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand, times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men." In one paper we find that Sickles boasts that all the religious newspapers approve of his conduct in shooting Key. We can hardly think it. He did not kill him in selfdefence, but was goaded onward by revenge. Key may have deserved his fate, but Sickles, although deeply injured, was not the man to execute the law. He may have acted in ac- * * — 25 {(©lb Suits, BW. i». cordance with 41 the laws of honor," but not in accordance with the laws of Him who has declared 4I vengeance is mine." "Better late than never," we hope our readers will say, as they read the April number of the Friend, published the last of May. This is merely reversing the practice of publishers of papers and reviews in the Atlantic States, who print their periodicals in New York to appear in season at San Francisco or the Sandwich Islands! Our readers will notice an obituary of Captain T. Y. Sullivan. We would add, that the Library of the Honolulu Sailor's Home was gathered and sent out by his persevering efforts. It will be a lasting monument to his praise. It is a most excellent collection of books, well adapted to the purpose, and numbers nearly 1000 volumes. The letter of the Rev. Mr. Doane will show that our missionaries are doing something in the way of tracing out the untimely fate of seamen who have been cut off by tho savages of the Kalick Islands. We do not expect to hear ofany more massacres! Better send missionary ships than war vessels among them—Bibles than rum—missionaries than soldiers. The sailor referred to in the letter of the Rev. Mr. Doane, as saved when all others belonging to the vessel under Capt. McKenzie's command were killed, was brought to Honolulu, last January, on board the Morning Star. The vessel cut off, was under British colors. We hope all our readers among seawill follow their old shipmate, WilliamJohnson, mentioned in another column, who, signed the pledge for nine hundred stnd, ntjtf'. ty-nine years! men, Religion is the cement of civil union and the essential support of legislation. So says Plutarch. �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1859. 26 Letter from Rev. E. T. Doane. lOoocluded J Ebon, or Covell's Island, ) I, ISSS. ( Mt Bear "Friend":—Let me say something of the foreign population, which, if it Lull not succeeded in effecting ;\ foothold here, has at least attempted it. It is a matter of fact, no white man has long lived on any of t'tese islands. Some have landed here to superintend oil-making, and thinking to work in and in time secure homes. But I cannot learn that one, for any length of time, has succeeded; nor can I learn that to the white man, as such, any hostility exists, for some for a short time have lived here and have gone off unharmed, tavc perhaps the loss of about all they possessed. But no doubt ihe answer to all this is found in Ihe fact that when such men come ashore they are better clothed certainly than natives from other islands, and these people strongly covet anything new a man possesses ; the chiefs, therefore, will take it by force, if otherwise it is But usually it is the case that a lan who has seen much of the world will ever part with the last shirt he has on his ack, and assume Nature's dress, to please the best of natives ; and no doubt this decision of his, with some expressive acts in which he is not to be subdued, leads to encounters, and of course he in the end falls. The actual killing, then, has no doubt removed some who have here landed and thought to live. But again, while some hive landed, seeing what a wild people this is—not absolutely savage, but hardy ana fighting—chiefs fighting chiefs, and slaves fighting slaves—and nil things looking as though one. might fall at any moment—such (.'fused. have been glad to leave all they had, glad if they could escape. But, again—in the case of one man, at least, and perhaps there may have been many more of the same charac. ter—his oppressive conduct towards the natives, (it is said by them, even shooting some, because they did not work out oil fast enough,) led to his death by murder. Thus, in various ways, these islands have been kept from the influence of such men as usually first reside upon them. The reason may not be altogether known to us, but we cannot but feel that an especial Providence has watched over them, that the Gospel might be the more easily introduced ; because the fact is notorious, that where a native population had for its schoolmasters such men as get away from ships, or who in general terms may be culled " beach-combers," that people have been very hard to win over to the Gospel. Had Ebon, for the last twenty-five years, as Ponape and Strong's Island, been under such teaching, it is quite certain its people could not have been approached ss they have been, and their outward regard won as it has been. If a landing even by the missionary could have been effected, he never could have called the people about him, and had them listen to the Gospel as they have almost upon the first day of his coming among them, while ns yet he but speaks in a stammering manner the message he proclaims. We are willing, at least, to take this solution to the question— 44 Why have these islands, for the seventy-five years since their original discovery, been thus kept in their original state ?" You have had the report of the death of Capt. McKenzie, in the fall of 1802, at Jiluth. Let me give you a few facts, gathered from natives, and a Malay man, one of the crew. This man says the reason alleged by the natives for taking the vessel is, that the captain did not give to the chiefs very liherally of his tobacco ; and for this they planned his destruction. The morning aftet the vessel came to anchor in the Lagoon, the captain took his boat, manned by natives of the islrnd, and went ashore to get some wood cut, taking with him two axes. He had hardly landed ere they fell upon him, striking him down, and leaving his body unburied. At his fall, the shout was given to the large body of natives on the vessel to begin their work. They soon accomplished it, there being, besides the mate, some seven or eight men only. The Malay man spared was aloft, and after being chased awhile by some natives, was saved by a chief claiming him as his boy. He has since been closely watched when ships were about, not being suffered to go on board. On the fall of the mate and men, the vessel was plundered of what the natives thought worth taking, the tobacco especially being seized boxes of it, it is said, were taken and sent to chiefs of different islands. The vessel was then fired. Her hull, it is said, can now be seen beneath the water. The natives talk to us freely of this deed. They have brought me pieces of chain, which they said came from that island, but I suspect they were taken from a vessel cutoff here some two or three months after ; Capt. McKenzte. Let me give you a few facts concerning this last mentioned vessel. The immediate cause of it is said by a native informant to be, that a ship fired upon the natives some three months previous, killing two chiefs and some common people. I have not been able to get any satisfactory explanation why the said vessel should do this; but the deed so exasperated the natives, it was declared the very next vessel which came into their power they would destroy. Accordingly, when the schooner—her name I know not—came along for oil, some three months after, she met with her sad fate. Sho anchored outside the reef. The next morning her decks were crowded by natives, and, at a given signal, they began their bloody work. It is said the captain was cut into two parts, aifji also the mate, thus inflicting double aunishmegt, if possible, for the Chiefs who were killed. Shortly after the vessel was|fired and plundered of all that was thought valuable. The native who informed me said great quantities of money were found. You have published in the Friend of July, 1853, a letter from Dr. Gulick, in which he says Capt. Hussey got from the natives over a thousand* dollars. I have no reason to doubt this, if the expression of a native of abundance can be relied upon. Another incident connected with this vessel may be worth relating. A quantity of powder—a cask full—was also taken. Some natives who had been to Strong's Island, knew its use; so one day, a large party having assembled in a native house to witness the firing of a gun, it did not go off nt first, and the chief taking his pipejo light the powder in the pan, fire was iv some way communicated to the cask, and all were blown up; ten were destroyed, and there were two at least who survived, but whose skins were so badly burned, that to this day they carry the mark with them. I have asked them the cause of it, and they said it was from the burn of powder which they got from one Cnpt. Terry. They have not wished evidently to let the truth be known. We are told by the natives, of a vessel which, some three or four years since, was wrecked upon the most northern island of this chain—Bigini is its native name, and known on charts as one of the Pescadores. Tbe reel is there said to sweep far out into the ocean, and a vessel making for the island would strike that reef, sunken as it is, some four miles from land. The natives say ihe captain made 4l boats," and all hands put to sea. Much plunder was gotten from the wreck. A large black dog, with a brass collar on his neck, is said to be on an island seventy-five miles to the northwest of Ebon. Nothing that I know of has ever been heard of the boats. The flag of the vessel is said to be with a chief on Mille. Are these facts worth anything in illustrating native life on islands ? They are but few. I could largely add to them, but you see how much paper-ground my pen has run over, and what simple thoughts it has traced out. Let me here pause. You have seen, no doubt, a coral island. There is not much to be seen, above water especially. The scenery is uniform, and to one who has resided upon a high volcanic island, with all its undulating surface, its dense perennial forests, its mountains, and their brows wreathed with clouds—its cascades, its chasms, its large choir of feathered songsters—the change to a residence upon our Atoll is great. I do not mean to say we are here destitute of all scenery; it is �, only the uniformity, with its scantiness, of which I speak. If at every turn, however, the same view presents itself, there is so much of quiet beauty in it, you are delighted ; you "drink and drink again" of it; for beauty, which, like gentle music, steals the very center of our being fiet 44 — Untwisting all the Units, that tie The hidden soul of harmony."

Here it lies, in mid-ocean, as m as a woodland lake, unswept by storm ; its shore of sand, brilliantly white, and sweeping a vast circle, is fringed with the majestic cocoaniit. Out upon its calm bosom is darting here and there the canoe, and beneath its crystal waters the numerous varieties of fish which there swarm, are distinctly seen playing about. But it is here in these waters that the main interest and beauty of a coral island centers. It is in those vast coral groves which lie beneath the green waters, for ages being reared, and reared by such tiny architects! Here their «t marvelousness lies—so vast, so all-enduring, so various in form and color, and yet wrought use the microscope we tbysee an insect This is wonderful.

Whaling from the Western Islands.— A New Enterprise. —We understand that John Paulino Mariano, a wealthy gentleman of Pico, Western Islands, has purchased tbe bark Richmond, of 180 tons, of this port, as she returned from her recent voyage, with whaling gear, etc., for $8000. It is his intention to employ the Richmond in the Atlantic whale-fishery from Fayal, under command of Captain Frank Sylva, of that port. She is to be refitted and provisioned here, and will convey a load of passengers, freight, etc., to Fayal, and there procure a crew and complete her preparations for whaling. Two other vessels are expected here this summer from Floras, to be fitted for the whale-fishery from the Western Islands. One of these vessels is now due here with passengers.

By Holms Read, Author of Christian Brahman, and late Missionary of the American Board in Bombay, India. Part Second. Hartford 1856. : This is a book that points in the right direction. The writer treats the facts and events of history, not as so many isolated and solitary links of a great chain, but as all connected together, being joined one to another. The limits of the work do not allow the author to go extensively into the subject of history in general, but he aims to show, succeeds most admirably in pointing out, le way in which God is overruling the events rhich are transpiring in the political world nd material universe, for the promotion of is great plan in working out the redemption of mankind. Some ten years ago, we recollect to have read the first part of this work. The eighth chapter of the first part, is devoted to the Sandwich Islands, showing or illustrating the Providential events leading to the introduction of Christianity among the aborigines of these islands. 'The thirty-first chapter of the second part, treats of the coral formations of the Pacific, showing how God, in the progressive work of creation, has been gradually preparing islands for the accommodation or habitation of man. These allusions to the books, will indicate their contents and the course of reasoning which theauthor has pursued. It is interesting to notice, among various writers of the past and present day, a leaning to the grand and sublime idea that God's works of creation and providence harmonize with that of Redemption. History and science, so far from really throwing doubt, over Divine revelation, do illustrate Ind We have read these discourses with much delight. We take more interest in reading the past history of that growing State, than in keeping up our acquaintance with current events. The religious and other changes which occurred in California, in 1549, and during the following years, are among the most remarkable and striking in the history of nations. Our interest in those times is deepened from the fact that we were permitted to be an eye-witness of stirring events in the summer of 1849 and winter of 1851. We saw the tents and shanties which sheltered the people—worshiped with them in the school-house and " coun"-room, before they built their noble, spacious and costly church edifices. We shall not soon forget a Sabbath spent in Stockton, when the keeper of a bar-room on the deck of an old hulk, in one of the sloughs, kindly removed his decanters and allowed us to open our Bible upon his counter; neither can we forget our visit at Coloma, Mormon Island, Sacramento and Benicia, before ministers of the gospel had become located in those places. We shall esteem it a favor if any of our ministerial brethren in California will send us 44 Anniversary Discourses," 44 Historical Addresses," or 41 Decade Sermons." Religion in. Common Life : A Sermon preached in Crathie Church, Oct. 14,1856, before Her Mujesty the Queen and Prince Albert. By the Rev. John Caird, M. A., Minister of Errol. (Published by Her Majesty's Command.) Published by the American Tract Society, 150 Nassau street, New York. This is a remarkable sermon, and its history is deserving a permanent record. During a trip of Queen Victoria to Scotland, she spent a Sabbath in a country parish, where she heard a good Scottish sermofl. So much pleased was she with the discourse, that she requested a copy for publication. Once published, it has had an immense circulation in Great Britain. Thousands upon thousands of copies have been scattered abroad. It has been republished in the United States, and now appears among the standnrd publications of the American Tract Society. A gentleman lately from South America —the Rev. Mr. Collins—informs us that a young Scotchman in Valparaiso was so much pleased with the sermon, that he procured a beautiful translation of it into Spanish, and has scattered it broad-cast through Chile, having spent $500 in the good work. Most gladly should we give it an insertion inourcolumns, if its length would permit. Our readers, for the present, must be content with the following extracts, but we shall request the Tract Society to send out a large supply for gratuitous circulation. "Not slothful in business ; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." Rom. xii: 11. — 44 To combine business with religion, to keep up a spirit of serious piety amidst the stir and distraction of a busy and active life, this is one of the most difficult parts of a Christian's trial in this world. It is comparatively easy to be religious in the church, to collect our thoughts and compose our feelings, and enter, with an appearance of propriety and decorum, into the offices of religious worship amidst the quietude of the Sabbath, and within the still and sacred precincts of the house of prayer. But to be religious in the world, to be pious and holy and earnest-minded in the counting-room, the manufactory, the market-place, the field, the farm—to carry out our good and solemn thoughts and feelings into the throng and thoroughfare of daily life, this is the great difficulty of our Christian calling. No man not lost to all moral influence can help feeling his worldly passions calmed, and some measure of seriousness stealing over his mind, when engaged in the performance of the more awful and sacred rites.of religion; but the atmosphere of the domestic circle, the exchange, the street, the city's throng, amidst coarse work and cankering cares and toils, is a very different atmosphere from that of a communion-table. * * * The text speaks as if the most diligent attention to our worldly business were not by any means incompatible with spirituality of mind and serious devotion to the service of God. It seems to imply that religion is not so much a duty, as a something that has to do with all duties ; not a tax to be paid periodically and got rid of at other times, but a ceaseless, all-pervading, inexhaustible tribute to Him who is not only the object of religious worship, but the end of our very life and being. It suggests to us the idea that piety is not for Sundays # # only, but for all days. * 44 Religion is not a perpetual moping over good books; religion is not even prayer, praise, holy ordinances. These are necessary to religion—no man can be religious withous them. But religion, I repeat, is mainly and chiefly the glorifying God amid the duties and trials of the world—the guiding our course amid the adverse winds aud currents of temptation, by the starlight of duty and the compass of Divine truth—the bearing us manfully, wisely, courageously, for the honor of Christ our great Leader in the conflict of life. Away, then, with the notion that ministers and devotees may be religious, but that a religious and holy life is impracticable in the rough and busy world. Nay, rather, believe me, that is the proper scene, the peculiar and appropriate field for religion; the place in which to prove that piety is not a dream of Sundays and solitary hours; that it can bear the light of day; that it can wear well amid the rough jostlings, the hard struggles, the coarse contacts of common life—the place, in one word, to �prove how possible it is for a man to be at once 4 not slothful in business,' and • fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.' * 44 To all, then, who really wish to lead such a life, let me suggest that the first thing to be done, that without which all other efforts are worse than vain, is heartily to devote themselves to God through Christ Jesus. Much as has been said of the infusion of religious principle and motive into our worldly work, there is a preliminary advice of greater importance still—that we be religious. Life comes before growth. The soldier must enlist before he can serve. In vain are all directions how to keep the fire ever burning on the altar, if first it be not kindled. No religion can be genuine, no goodness can be constant or lasting, that springs not, as its primary source, from faith in Jesus Christ. To know Christ as my Savior; to come with all my guilt and weakness to him in whom trembling penitence never fails to find a friend ; to cast myself at his feet in whom all that is sublime "in divine holiness is softened, though not obscured, by all that is beautiful in human tenderness ; and believing in that love stronger than death which, for me and such as me, drained the cup of untold sorrows, and bore without a murmur the bitter curse of sin—to trust my soul for time and eternity into his hands, this is the beginning of true religion. And it is the reverential love with which the believer must ever look to Him to whom he owes so much, that constitutes the mainspring of the religion of daily life. Selfishness may prompt to a formal religion, natural susceptibility may give rise to a fitful one, but for a life of constant fervent piety amid the world's cares snd toils, no motive is sufficient save one—self-devoted love to Christ. * * * * 44 Carry religious principle into common life, and common life will lose its transitoriness. 4 The world passeth away.' • The things that are seen are temporal.' Soon business, with all its cares and anxieties, the whole 4 unprofitable stir and fever of the world,' will be to us a thing of the past. But religion does something better than sigh and muse over the perishableness of earthly things; it finds in them the seed of immortality. No work done for Christ perishes. No action that helps to mould the deathless mind of a saint of God is ever lost. Live for Christ in the world, and you carry out with you into eternity all of the results of the world's business that are worth the keeping. The river of life sweeps on, but the gold grains if held in solution are left behind, deposited in the holy heart. 4 The world passeth away, and'the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.'" * Morals of a Heathen. —If the anecdotes of Plato that have come down to us are authentic, they give him a character that will shame many who enjoy the light and grace of the gospel.
