For a long time the necessity of a Public Hospital has been seriously felt in Honolulu. This necessity has been felt by foreigners as well as natives. While.Honolulu, for more than a quarter ot7"a century, has not been without its hospitals for American and British seamen, still thfose have not fully met the necessities of thej public. While many have felt kindly disposed towards the entererecting and sustainprise, the great ing such establishments has been hitherto an Even that, it is now confiden/ny hoped, will be overcome. Our youtjffful King and Queen, taking a faview of the subject, have been pleased to take the initiative steps. His Majesty, rightly imagining that no one could more iafable successfully than himself collect funds for this object, with subscription in hand, and accompanied by his private secretary, goes forth among his people. The subscriptions obtained, as now published, ore the happy results of this effort of His Majesty. Such an effort among his — : : will be preliminary steps taken for organizing a cor- community. poration to manage the funds collected, and Free-will Offerings. for carrying out the undertaking.

Facts in regard to the genuine usefulness of the early missionaries to these islands are coming to light, which proclaim in trumpettones that Hawaiians maybecome Christians. The social position andstanding of these converts may not haye been among the " upper ten," still that is a matter of small account. The time has not arrived for the inhabitants of our globe to hnve their true moral position assigned them in the universe of accountable and intelligent beings. " Many that arc first shall be last, and the last shall be first," declures our Savior. In another portion of our columns will be found an intensely interesting account of a Sandwich Islander taken from a raft in the mid-Indian-Ocean, by the Rev. William Ellis, formerly an English missionary nt these Islands. The residence of Mr. Ellis in Honolulu was from Feb. 4, 1823, to 18th August, 1824. It was during this period that he made the "Tour of Hawaii," an account of which was published, and obtained a wide circulation both in England and the United States. That volume has been out of print for many years, but it is really one of the most interesting works ever published upon the Sandwich Islands. In IS4-1, it was our privilege to make the tour of the same island, and Mr. Ellis' book was our guide, which we found to be most accurate and entertaining, as we rode on horse-back, sailed in canoes, or tramped on foot over the the rough clinkers. In our columns will also be found another brief account of a Sandwich Island sailor, who died in the triumphs of a Christian's faith. He too was cruising far away in the Indian ocean, on a passage from Australia to Calcutta. Read " Bread upon the waters." Such incidents as these speak volumes in favor of the cause of Foreign Missions. They rebuke the sceptic, reprove the lakewarm friends of the cause, and encourage those who are conscientiously laboring to obey the command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." t Editor's Table. The following publications have been re, ceived at the Friend office. In acknowledging \he same, we would express our thanks to those parties who have forwarded them. If our limits were not so narrow, we should most gladly make quotations for the benefit of our readers: Poverty: —Three essays for the season, by .Charles P. Krauth. Published at Httsburrrh, jPenn,, U. S. A., by W. S. Haven. This is on exceedingly interesting pamphlet of 48 pages, in which the Perpetuity, the Causes npd the Relief of Poverty are ably discussed.

The Work of God in Philadelphia, A. D. 1858; prepared by the Young Men's Christian Association.. It is a pamphlet of 83 pages, giving an account of the great awakening in that city. This is a carefully prepared document, and its general circulation will tlo immense good. That city has been remarkably favored during the gracious outpouring of the Spirit upon the American Zion. The following paragraph alluding to therevival in that city, we copy from a secular paper—the Philadelphia Ledger : "The most noticeable feature of the present religious movement is, that it springs up . River, and other portions of their colonies. The island, dwellings and improvements were tendered as a free gift to the Pitcairners on condition that they removed thither. Favorable as were these terms, some of the people have become dissatisfied. A few days since a whale-ship reported that seventeen had returned to Pitcairn's Island. The officer of the whale-ship who made this statement, had landed upon the island and spent two nights with those who had returned. He reported that about forty more would soon arrive. This will explain allusions to the subject of removal relerred to in the following letter, which we have just received, but dated before the party left Norfolk Island. We regret that a previous letter which he had written has not, as yet, come to hand : Norfolk Island, Dec. 27, 1858. directly among the people themselves.

The former suffers minds, and fits them better to grapple with more, I believe, from want of food to which the cares of the day." they have been accustomed, than a change Pitcairn's and Norfolk Islands. The reading public has been informed of the praiseworthy effort of the British Government to remove the inhabitants of Pitcairn's Island to Norfolk Island. The reason assigned for removal was the very limited amount of arable land upon the island. Pitcairn is a very small island, only four or five miles in circumference. A whale-boat can be rowed around it in one hour. It is high and rocky. Not one half of the actual area is capable of cultivation. The inhabitants had increased to nearly 200 when the removal took place, about two years ago. Norfolk Island is situated in the South Pacific, lat. 29 S., and long. 167° E. It is about four miles long and three wide. Many years ago, it was selected as a Penal Settlement for the most desperate criminals in England or the British Australian colonies. For many years, criminals were sent thi(her. They were there employed in building houses, prisons, a break-water, and every necessary public building or road. The discipline maintained is reported to have been severe. The expense of keeping up the establishment and other reasons induced the British Government to remove all the prisoners to Swan « of climate. I next give youVsome information that I suppose will make yV>u smile, as many humpbacks frequent our waters in calving time. We bought two boat?, lines, Arc.—we named one boat " Who'd ha>e thought it"—and as we have plenty of boilers on the island, we commenced whaling, and-~saved 130 barrels of oil, which I think, as our\yvhaleinen had scarcely ever seen a whale, was pretty good. And I am in hopes, if too many, do not leave for Pitcairn's, we shall do better next season. And now for Pitcairn's. A great many wish to return there, and I suppose if opportunity offers, will go. On the second of this month, two families left, namely, Matthew Young and his wife Margaret, (the widow of Matthew McCoy, who was killed by the discharge of the Bounty's gun) and family of six children—three others remain here (two of them, I believe, mean to return next opportunity),and Moses Young nnd his wife Albina and five children. I expect next April at least twenty more will leave, as an American whaling captain has promised to give them a passage—the family of Thursday, October, Christian and relatives. Those who left went in a brig of 100 tons, belonging to Van Diemcn's Land, called the Mary Ann. The owner engaged to take 60 adults at j£lo per head, and over 80, old and young, engaged to go, but it was such hard parting that the contract was broken, and it was decided that all should remain, and we agreed to give the �owner half the sum for the detention of his vessel, but he not feeling easy at taking this sum without doing something for it, it was concluded that some should go, and the two aforesaid families embarked accordingly. I send you this, perfavor of Capt. Murdock, but as he is not certain of touching at Honolulu before the fall, I do not like to send you any pines at present. I send you a manuscript chart of Norfolk Island, which 1 trust you wtll accept as a token of respect in lieu of a letter, and the first opportunity that offers I will not forget the pines. We have three ships here at present. The Nassau, Minerva, Swain, 1,400 sperm, and Sea Bird, merchantman, 72 ds. from S. Francisco, laden with spars, &c, bound to Sydney. We have had but three deaths since our arrival—one a child by accident, the other a child we did not expect to live when we left Pitcairn's, and the last a young woman, of consumption. I cannot inform you of the number of births, but I believe they are more prolific here than at Pitcairn's—and -the last eight born are all females. I believe we number 212 at present on this island. My kind respects to Mrs. Damon and family; to my kind friend General Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Janion, and all kind friends at Honolulu, not forgetting Mr. Andrew Johnstone. It may happen that I may again see Pitcairn's and have a better opportunity to correspond with you, but if not, Reverend Sir, I shall not forget you, and ever remain Yours sincerely, John Buffett, Senr. Passage of old missionary Packet from Boston to Honolulu. More than thirty years ago the American Board of Missions sent a small packet for the use of the mission, at the Sandwich Islands. She was commanded by James Hnnnewell, Esq., now owner of ships Syren, Polynesia, and other vessels. In a late letter from Mr. Hunnewell, we met with the following paragraphs : " The long passage of ship Syren, (extreme clipper of 1,064 tons register) seven months, has led me to look over my journalof passage out in the schooner Missionary Packet of 39J tons register, which I find was nine months from Boston to Lahaina, where I arrived in October, 1826. During this passage, with my decks but one foot above water, I was compelled to lay to many days with a fair wind, and during the nine months I anchored upwards of thirty times in upwards of twenty different ports and harbors ; in a number of the harbors, I was compelled by stress of weather to return and anchor more than once. " I had 68 days to Rio, where I spent, repairing, 15 days ; thence to the Straits of Le Mair and Cape Horn, 23 do.; off Cape Horn 9 days, and bore away and tried for the Straits of Magellan 9 days; 18 do. in one harbor in Faulkland Islands in June and July, 43 do.; in the Straits of Magellan, 17th July to 21st August, say 35 do.; thence to Valparaiso 11 days, and delayed there one day—l 2do.; thence to Honolulu via Lahaina, 47 do.; at Honolulu ended this memorable passage. and truly yours, " Very respectfully".Tames Hunnkwell." 1859. Americanizing England. Mr. Bright having been accused of an attempt to Americanize England by extending the right of suffrageand introducing other reforms which have their pattern in this country, in a late speech at Manchester he made the following speech : "But I protest against our being shut up to tuke nothing from America but cotton and rice and tobacco. (Laughter and applause.) And, in fact, we do take a good many other things. lam told that my friend, Mr. Piatt, ■ member of a very eminent (inn, has a wonderful machine from America with which to make bricks. We know that the agriculture of this country has been greatly advantaged by the importation of reaping machines from America. (Hear, hear.) We know that these persons who are going about so apprehensive of a revolution have particular reasons to be delighted with America, because they have received from that country the invention of the revolver. (Hear, and laughter.) At this moment in the Government smallarms establishment at Enfield, they have patent machinery for making gun-stocks. They can turn out a gun-stock, I am told, in 22 minutes fit for the barrel. What a dreadful thing to think of it! (Laughter.) And 1 am sure that Mr. Miles, if his protectionist principles have not long ago deserted him, will be horrified that they have actually brought Americans over to show the English how to work them. (Continued laughter.) But there is much more behind. The Times, the Morning Star, the Daily Telegraph, and the leading newspapers in this district, the Manchester Daily Examiner, with, I believe, two or three of the widely circulated London weekly papers, are all printed on machines which were either made in America, or, being made in this country, were made on the American patent. (Hear, hear, and applause.) And further than this, don't you remember that the West Enders, including even ladies, have been subscribing ten guineas apiece to invite a clever farmer from Ohio to show them how to tame a horse? (Great laughter.) You may delight yourself with their charming poets —with Bryant and Whittier, and Longfellow; you may interest and instruct yourself by their great historians—Bancroft and Prescott and Motley. But if you ask how free popular institutions are working among your own countrymen on the American Continent, you are denounced as unpatriotic, and, at any rate, treasonable to the House of Lords. (Hear, hear, and laughter)." Bread Upon the Waters. It has floated back from the Sandwich Isl- ands in a very singular manner, and is found again in the treasury of the American Board. Some months since a letter was received at the Missionary House, from Capt. Wilson, (commander of the ship James Brown,) together with the deed of a piece of land, the gift of a sailor who had been connected with that vessel, and was taken sick soon after the vessel left Australia on a voyage to Calcutta.* The captain furnishes the following interesting narrative : " Three or four days before my arrival at , Legislature of • The title was confirmed to the Board bynotthe of great Connecticut, and the property, which ralue, has b»™ sold. was Thesailor's dying »ijh dying gift *ss made s-ailalt!-. intrinsic »»s gratified ha 35 THE FRIEND, MAT, Calcutta, the sick man sent for me, and taking a key which he always carried around his neck, he requested me to get these papers from his chest. After taking them in his hands, he said : ' I believe I am about to die. I wish you to take these and give them to the Board of Foreign Missions ; fori have no friends or relatives in the world, and they were my friends in my earlier days.' Thinking this rather a singular request for a poor Indian to make, I gleaned from him, at intervals, the following history : That he was a native of the Sandwich Islands, was one of the first converts to Christianity, and came to the United States many years ago with one of the missionaries ; that he resided somewhere in Connecticut, in this missionary's family, for the purpose of getting an education ; that he then ran away, and had been roaming about the world as a sailor and whaler ever since. " After making these statements he swooned away, and was almost lifeless for nearly half an hour. When he rallied a little, I asked him if he had anything to say, or any request to make. He said, Yes, I have ' one. Get me my book, and read me the place I have marked.' It commences When I can read my title clear ' To mansions in the nkies.' : 1 read it to him, and he attempted to sing the same, until he was quite exhausted. After while he rallied again, when I told him I thought he had but a short time to live, and asked him if he was prepared to leave this world and appear before his Maker. He shook his head, and said, ' No, not quite yet.' After remaining quiet for some time, all at once he rallied and exclaimed: 'Joy, joy, joy!' and clapped his hands. I then asked him if he was ready to go, and he replied : Yes, lam ready now. I have seen my Saviour, and he is ready to receive me. lam so happy.' He then requested me to sing the same hymn, but not being a singer myself, I called two or three of the sailors-to sing it to him; which they did, he joining with them with all his strength, clapping his hands and shouting ' Halelujah.' After a little while he said to me, ' O, captain, I am so happy! lam ready to die; but I want to live, one day longer to enjoy my happia ' ness.' " — J. of Miss. John Bull on Yankee Soldiers.—The following tribute to our American naval and military skill, from the London Times, is, I think, worthy of perusal " England may certainly learn something from the administration of the United States. The Americans have an excellent judgment in military and naval affairs, which they handle in a spirit always liberal and generally sagacious* It was so from the very beginning of their history. They never passed through a period of infancy or routine, but took the field—when they did take it—in a fashion at once superior to the old fashioned belligerents. They have the merit of anticipating even the French of the Republic in discarding everything like precedent, and going straight by the shortest cut to the mark before them." : The True Course.—So live with men as if God saw you ; so speak to God as if men heard you. �36 THE FRIEND, MAY, 1859. THE FRIEND, MAY 14, 1850 "An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure" EVbilc cordially advocating the building support of hospitals among natives and igners, and otherwise doing all in «mr power for the sick and suffering, we still feel that, after all, aid is thereby rendered to persons who ought never to be supported by the Many, perhaps a majority of those eking hospital aid and shelter, medi(iine and nursing, have no business there. They have been brought thither by their guilty and imprudence. A cured man is it what he was before his excesses took hint the hospital. The way of the transgresr is hard, and we warn all rlnttfH from ing that way. Let any reasonable man rcfully examine the various causes which : operating t;» bring our fellow beings to isery, suffering and death, and he trill very on learn that it is as highly important to prevent men, if possible, from ruining th ■' health, as to beat them when i-it!; and dis- tiblic.

Men consume too much food a;;d too little pure aiK They take too medicine and too Utile exerci>e." We hold that multitudes die before nature designed they should depart. They ought not to die so soon. While admitting there may be much sickness that cannot he prevented, we do know there is mush that might and ought to be prevented. In order to prevent the need of a hospital, we hope our city authorities will look well to the purity of our city precincts, and a rigid enforcement of those laws for the suppression of drunkenness and licentiousness. Odd Fellows' Celebration. The members of this Association improved the occasion of celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Order in the United States, by laying the Corner Stone of a Hall in Honolulu. If our neighbors of the Commercial and Polynesian had not published # full report of the interesting exercises on that occasion, we should take pleasure in spreading before our readers a similar statement. The attendance at Fort Street Church was very large. The Key. E. Corwin preached an able and well-timed discourse. He drew the lines, or defined the metes and bounds of Odd Fellowship, Masonry, and kindred associations, showing their relationship to the church. So far as we can learn, Odd Fellows have accepted of the position assigned for the present our readers must be content with the following paragraphs from the Sci- their associations, and most certainly, on the part of the church, we are ready to accept of his remarks as defining the church's position. In behalf, then, of Christianity, we thank Bro. Corwin for that day's labor. We think the sermon well calculated to promote good fellowship among neighbors! Our readers will understand our use of the term neighbors. It is of the highest importance that among all benevolent associations there should exist a friendly feeling and kindly sympathy. No one thing will promote a better feeling than for each to keep within its proper sphere, and work within the limits defined by their constitutions. The sermon has been published in both of the papers alluded to. The exercises at the laying of the corner stone were highly appropriate. The address of Mr. Durham we thought peculiarly felicitous and happy. The singing and all the arrangements were highly appropriate, betokening good taste and a right understanding of the way such ceremonies should bo conduct! d. The Hall, when finished, will cost :i 10,000. and be an ornament to the city. We rejoice to witness the laying of a corner stone tj a benevolent institution. En long we hope to witness a similar ceremony connected with the new hospital. Such enterprises are the offspring of noble and generous inipul es, bespeaking a benevolent and Christian people. entific American: " We are having a great many inquiries for sewing machines from various parts of the country, and as we cannot conveniently reply to them all by mail, we have thought it proper to state our opinion in regard to them in this public manner. We have used Wilson's patent, manufactured by the Wheeler & Wilson Manufacturing Company, No. 505 Broadway, and we can say in regard to it, that it is without a rival. It is simple, not easily put out of order when in proper hands, and in point of effectiveness and finish, no other machine stands ahead of it. We state this much in regard to the excellent machine, upon our own responsibility. "The company have made and sold during the last three months, 4700 machines, and are now producing and selling 100 per day. They vary in price from 850 to SlOO, nnd the highest priced ones sell best. In their business there is over 8500,000 invested, and they keep 400 men regularly employed manufacturing; machines. The system pursued is the same ns that adopted in the manufacture of arms, every piece is made to a guage, and consequently the parts of any machine may be transposed with those of another machine of the same size ; or should an accident occur, the broken part can he immediately replaced on application at the office. There is not an establishment in the country where stitching of any kind is required in which the sewing machine is not employed, and there are few private families in which it is not an acknowledged article of furniture." ■■ hIatsCome!

I'iikoi dictateil the following sketch of his life, which we translate from the Hac Hawaii. [Comm. *• I was born in the month of lkuwa (January) 1804. at Wnimea, Kattni. I conliuueil to live there until Liholiho came to Kaitni, on the 22cl of July, 18'J'J. There wis great i'eastine on the occasion of the arrival ofLiholiho and the chiefs in his company, on board the vessel called the Okikowali." The feasting took place in a house known as Puilihale." After eating, the King called to Kanmualii,—"Oti, Knuraualii, there is plenty of poi and fish at Kauai; —one thing inly is lacking—tobacco." The chief answered—"Tho tobasOO also is ready." He then culled me, saying, I'iikoi, go and do as I bid you." 1 consented, and a pipe having been lighted, w»i given to me, together with a tobacco box and a pipelighter, and I was directed to take them to Liholiho. Oh, the Heavens, here is the The cliier called out, tobacco, and a servant with it." Then it was that 1 became a pipe-lighter; that was the first, commencement of my going with Liholiho to lite. My rel»tions nnd fiienilH made a great lamentation,but some said, We have M business to Will, for he is given entirely to the King." I thin went round the island of Kauai with the King ami afterwards came to Oahu with him. At Wtlanae, I ran away in order to go with Kanmualii nt Waialua. Ho ordered me to go back, saying tii.it 1 must look to the King for my siihsistance hereafter, nor desert him on any account. I accordingly returned, and continued to live with Liholiho until he went to England, and never wanted for anything to eat, drink or wear. After the King went to England I lived with Kuhalaia, and on his appointment as governor of Kauai, 1 accompanied him thither. After the rebellion of Humehuiiie in 1834, we returned to Oahu, and on the death of Kahnlaia, in 18Jti, the late King sent for me, saying You belonged to Liholiho; why do you not come to live with DM.'" I said I have conic." The late King was considerate in regard to hia servants. Several years later, the King gave me the charge of lands on < biliu. This duty I executed both to the satisfaction of the King nnd somewhat to my own profit. Subsequently, when llaalilio wentto England, I received his duties to perform. About this time I was made a Member of the House of Nobles, nnd soon after, a Member also of tho King's l'rivy Council. I also received from the King a very Important duty—that of superintending the division of lands between the King and the chiefs at Haliimaile. When I undertook this duty, some of the chiefs said that they did not wish for me to divide the lands for them. I made reply to them that if they would not take my division, they must lose all their lands, from Hawaii to Kauai. These were strong words, but I spoke confidently, well knowing that I had ample authority from the King. Icr -<ued to unlivo pleasantly anil happily under tho btil he left us on the 16th December, 180. Under His present Majesty, Kamehameha v., whom God has graciously placed over us, I have enjoyed all my former rights of nobility, and my family and myself have enjoyed the fullest protection. May God preserve the King, and graut him a long and prosperous reign. I have written the foregoing in great weakness, for the purpose of showing my countrymen how 1 io»e to my present rank and position, under the protection of the King, from the humble station of a pipe-ligbter.

Mr. Ellis, is descriptive of a singular and delightful incident which occurred on the homeward voyage after his last visit to Madagascar. Our friend embarked in the England steamer from Mauritius on the lJ3th January, 1857. On the 21st of the same month, after the subsidence of a severe gale, the vessel fell in with a floating raft, and was the providential instrument in saving from a watery grave two individuals, one of them an American Captain and the other a Sandwich Islander ; but the sequel shall be told by Mr. Ellis •' In a few moments I heard the cry A wreck! a wreck!' and hastening to the poop, saw on the larboard bow a small flag or sijrnal of blue cloth, distinct among the tops of the waves, and about two miles off. In a few minutes more I discerned a sort of raft, with two figures, a white man and a man of color, sitting upon it, up to the waist in the sea. " The flag of the England had been hoisted —symbol of help and deliverence—to signal to the castaways that they were seen, and the ship's course was altered. Meanwhile one of the boats was lowered, and manned by five stout, willing hands, was pushed ofT towards the raft. While the oars rattled with each stroke, and the light boat seemed to spring over the waves, with our tall, stout, second officer, Mr. Peters, standing with the steeroar in the stern, every eye on board was stretched towards the same point; thesailors leaning over forecastle and forerigging; the officers and passengers straining over the bulwarks of the poop ; ladies with theirchildren all gazing with the most intense interest as our boat approached theraft. No one moved not a word was uttered even breathing seemed difficult; but when the first man, and then the second—stiff, benumbed, and swollen with the water—had been safely lifted into the boat, the pent-up feeling found utterance in the almost simultaneous exclamation, They are saved !' which was heard from stem to stern along the side of our ship. Some persons near me wept, others seemed ready to faint under emotions of sympathy and : ' : : ' joy- " Our boat was soon alongside, and, swollen, bruised and bleeding, the men were helped over the ship's side into the cabin. Not wishing to add to the pressing crowd, I remained on deck. A few moments afterwards I heard the captain call, Mr. Ellis ! here is a Sand' and speak to him.' I wich Islander. Come went into the cabin, where the two men were sitting on the deck. The white man was the oaptain of a ship which had been upset in the violent gale two days before, when every one on board, twenty-two in number, except the two justrescued, had perished. The islander, a young man, was one ot the crew; and, having made no answer to the questions addressed to him by our humane captain, I had been called down. "The man was sitting on the deck, his head bent down, and his long, black, and dripping hair hanging over his eye* and , 1859. down his face. Looking at him, I said, ' Aroha earohaino, aroha' —salutation, dear friend, affection. The man lifted up his head, swept with his hand his long, black hair to one side of his forehead, and looking earnestly at me, like one to whom consciousness was but just returning, and startled by the sound of his native language, returned my salutation. In answer ton few inquiries, he told me he wns a native of Oahu, the island on which I had at one time resided. He said he was up aloft furling sail, when the ship suddenly went over, and all in an instant were plunged into the deep; that there were other islanders on board, but they soon sank. The doctor of our ship then gave the men a little suitable refreshment, and they were wrapped in flannels and put to bed. Captain .Dundas took the raft, a very fragile affair, and brought it to England, intending to deposit it in the Crystal Palace. "The next day I went down to the berth where the Sandwich Islander was lying, and found him very much revived. After conversing- with him about the wreck, and the loss of all his shipmates, I said, 'God has very mercifully preserved you. You must remember His goodness and pray to Him.' He said, ' I did pray to Him in the night, when I was in the sea. I did pray to God in the morning, when I saw the captain ; I prayed that we might be saved. And God sent away death, and sent your ship, and we are here.' I said, 'I am glad you prayed to God. You must be thankful to God, and serve him, and love Him. You must try to praise God in your future life.' " I then repeated the first two lines of a hymn, among the first ever composed in the language of the Sandwich Islands, when I was a Missionary in that country. The lines are these :— that W. L. Green, Esq., has, with the conMajesty, undertaken the charge of the British Consulate until further advices. We understand, from those who have frequently seen Mr- Nicolas during his illness, that amongst the symptoms of his distressing malady, there never was the faintest indication of that perversion of the moral sentiments which in medical jurisprudence is considered to be one of its most certain diagnostics. On the contrary, their Majesties, the King and Queen, the other members of the Royal Family, the prosperity of these islands, the welfare of the Hawaiian people, the high judicial officers and ministers ol the King, all his personal friends of both sexes, and his physician, were the subjects on which he constantly dwelt, in the most extravagant terms of confidence, affection and generosity. From these and other favorable circumstances, it is hoped that he will recover completely before he reaches Portsmouth. By his affability, frankness and pleastng manhe had recommended himself strongly to the good will and respect of all classes and degrees in this community.—Polynesan, Mayl. sent of His Gospel, Ttiumphing.—It is true that take desponding views of Christianity.

But take the first, and you have an advance of 50,000,000 each century, of 140 each day. Akua licmolelo, Is there not something really inspiring in such *KeHeAkua no kakou.' a view ?

JULY 18, I*•->!> Marriage. TaShbnedth Takixu the Bible for our guide, it appears, from an examination of the second chapter of the book of Genesis, that God promulgated two great laws for the obedience and observance of the human family. The fust law set apart one-seventh part of time as holy. We do not find that God ever has repealed this law by any subsequent enactment, but has, on numerous occasions, re-enacted and confirmed it, and especially on Mt. Sinai, where, amid thundering* and lightnings, He commanded as follows " Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," etc. So far as the teachings and example of our Savior bore upan the Sabbath, they reconsecrated oneseventh part of time, redeeming it from Pharisaic desecration and pollution. One-seventh part of time we regard as now belonging to God, and to be sacredly devoted to religious purposes. Aside from motives of a religious nature, we are fully of opinion that the laws of all Christian nations should enforce the proper pubiic observance of the day. The good of society, public morals, the interests of the state, domestic happiness, and private virtue, will all be advanced by the strict observance of the day. The argument for legislative enactments regulating the Sabbath, to our own mind, is clear and unquestionable. While there should be no law of California requiring the lawless and infidel portion of the community to attend Calvary Church, or any other church, there should ba | : forbidding fh 'in assembling in Musical Roll, md disturbing a religious assembly and the public peace. The other great law of Paradise app'rturned to the marriage inftifuun, clearly allowing every man to mirry 0113 woman, anil DO in >re. We do rot da over from cur reading of either the Old or New Testament, that GoJ has ever re, ealc I this law, or that. aI CONTEXTS For Jul.. IS.'iO. IN)!). iw he has ever forbidden any class of men, even the clergy, from marrying. There is no such prohibition upon the Divine Statute Book, neilher any command, to take more than oie wife. Taking the Bible, and the Bible alone, as our rule of faiib and practice, we cannot but regard all those as guilty of trifling with the Word of God, who endeavor to argue away die observance of the Sabbath, or alter in any way the divine law in regard to marriage. The evil consequences of such trifling, will sooner or later appear whenever attempted. Wherever individuals or communities can be brought to "remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," and sacredly observe all those laws relating to the marriage institution, as indicated in the second chapter of Genesis, there, private virtue, domestic happiness, social order, public peace, and universal prosperity, will as naturally follow, as any natural effect must follow the cause producing it. in"GotaIbvHeuoimt,God." Nothing is more common than when aid is sought in behalf of some son or daughter of suffering, sickness and sorrow, to be repulsed by the reply, " I have given in so many in- stances, and found my charities unacknowledged or ungratefully received, that lam determined to stop giving." This may be very true. Our sinful nature is wont to show itself in the form of ingratitude to both our Heavenly Father and our kind earthly bene- factors. But shall the stream of benevolence cease to flow on this account? Shall the Christian cease to act the Christian's part, because a fellow-sinner is ungrateful ? Such 49 }.o|b Seri N.

One of our correspondents has furshed our readers with Extracts from a n certain Catholic tract, which has been recently issued from the press of the French Mission Some of our in the Hawaiian readers, not acquainted withNthe language, we think ivi terestcd in 'ancing over these extracts. To person iii w ing the domestic and family esiaUnhmentt df Protestant ministers and missionaries, from lhtr€wholi« stand-point, we can readily in iiie mW there are somethings which must sin U dieir niinds as incongruous and cumbersome. But is the Catholic stand-point the right position for correct observation ? Perhaps we might look with more favor upon the doctrine of the celibacy of the clergy, if the Catholic clergy of other lands had always sustained as good a reputation for morals as that enjoyed by the Catholic priests of the Sandwich Islands. Not wishing however to enter into an extensive discussion of this subject, for ourselves, we are quite willinnto fallow a fair interpretation of the Bible upon this point, fully believing with the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, that "marriage is honorable in all," not excepting the clergy ; and furthermore, we are quite contant to follow the example of St. Peter, the first Pope, (whose orthodoxy our Catholic aeighbors will not dispute,) who* was unquestionably a married man! • �50 TOE FRIEND, JIILV, [CorreipoDdence or the I'riend.] Catholic Teachings among Hawaiians. — Sir: Our Catholic neighbors of the French Mission ore zealously, if not laudably, engaged in publishing a series of Hawaiian Tracts, which are being sown broadcast over the land. They are controversial essays, embracing almost every subject on which they differ from the Protestants. The one now before us, is the third of a series on the " Acts observed in the Church of the Lord," and is entitled, " The celibacy of priests in the Church of the Lord— me ka Virgine ana." Of the meaning of the latter clausv, Ji is one of the mysteries of thechurch. We propose to translate a few brief extracts, to instruct the English reader into what is taught by Holy Church to the native Hawaiians, as well as for his own edification. We would premise that the idea of celibacy in a priest is one of utter indifference to a protestant mind, and is only to be determined by the party concerned, by his own free choice. But to the extracts : On the bottom of thu first page, p. 17 of the series, we read, "0 men of Hawaii, we nowhere read in the writings of the Apostles, that Peter landed at Aritioch with wife and children ; it was never heard that John had a wife and in his going to dwell at Ephesus ; or that ~*au|, with his wife and children landed at''"'li|etus," etc. Such is not the case with your Calvanc missionaries, j We read in the Hawaiian papers, Mr. liannded at Kauai with wife and children ; Mr. M. B. landed at Maui with wife and children; -dso, Mr. M. L., of , with family, are well. Also, the wives S' of missionaries at Honolulu consult together about the welfare of their children," etc., etc. "O ye Calvanistic missionaries, is this your desire to your wives and children, and the acquisition of property for their welfare; is this your boasted work of the Lord ? Where is the like of this among the Apostles ? " —p. 18. " But this is the plain truth. In reading the writings of the Apostles from beginning to end, there is not one word of a missionary having a wife, or leading about with him a family."—p. 18. in the desire of those Calvanistic ionaries to reconcile their position with that of the Apostles, while taking wives, they have falsely perverted the words of Paul, who says, ' Have we not a right to take a female Bister (vahine taituahine) as have the other Apostles, as the brethren of our Lord, and Cenhas?' 1 Cor., 9: 5." These female sisters of the like charachave ever been in the Church of Rome. They have ever been pious, believing females, tßut t fellow-laborers for the Lord, under the priests. several female-helpers, under Here now are 18 50. the priests, who wash their clothes, sew, and j 1.

From the foregoing extracts, and much Doubtless every man possesses the right to more of the same sort untranslated, we derive exercise his own religious opinions; and to a the following doctrines of the true Apostolic religious mind the motive to observe the SabChurch : bath as a divine law is sufficiently strong . : .. �TIIE without the sanctions of penal statutes. I am no friend to religious intolerance. No man is accountable to his fellows for his religious opinions. He may neglect every mode of religious worship, if he please, and legislators cannot interfere, so long as he disturbs not others in the exercise of their religious acts. I go further, and maintain that the law of the Sabbath enjoins no positive act of religious worship whatever; it simply commands the sanctification of the day by abstaining from labor, except acts of necessity nnd mercy. The law of the Sabbath, as given to Moses, and explained by our Savior in his answer to the Pharisees, is one of a moral code, designtiS to be perpetual; and it is mainly in view of the question as one of a moral nature, that I would argue the validity of the Sabbath law, and the duty of legislatures to give it their sanction. 1. All are assumed to agree that the other nine laws of this moral code remain in their full force in Christian communities, and will so continue to the end of time. No part of the New Testament has annulled, even by implication, the law of the Sabbath, except to transfer it to the first day of the week as a Christian Sabbath. Christ came not to do away the law, but to fulfill it. To do a work of necessity or mercy on that day, was by Him the fulfillment of a duty, although requiring labor. But the injunction to abstain from worldly labor on that day, has never been relaxed by the divine authority. As in the Jewish economy, so under the Christian dispensation, the custom of assembling on the day has been observed in all ages of the church. 2. TAis law is declarative of the Divine wisdom. The bodies of both men and beasts require the recuperative benefit of stated days of cessation from labor. Without this rest, the body soon loses its vigor and elasticity. It has been ascertained that the system can endure more fatigue without injury, and accomplish more labor, in six days, by enjoying the seventh as a period of rest, than can be achieved by the same power through a continuous work of seven days in the week, withoutthe Sabbath. Man, therefore, is no loser in the observance of the command, but the gainer in every view. Those Christian communities who strictly observe What more gladsome light than that of Sabbath morn to the laborer? Where is the gloom that shrouds the quiet of the Sabbath to the man emerging from the crowded cares of the previous six days ? What other protection to the over-worked servant or animal is more humane? How unjust, then, how utterly reckless are the bitter attacks made upon the law of the Sabbath as the work of gloomy fanatics! 4. This law is the great charter of freedom to the oppressed. On*one day in seven the authority of the task-msster over the sinews and muscles of his oppressed servants is relaxed, and they are suffered to go free. Repeal the law, or cease to enforce it, how long will it be before liberty and freedom will be trodden under foot by the heel of despotism ? In the despotisms of the earth the Sabbath is profaned as a day of labor or pleasure. This law is the bulwark of civil and religious liberty. 5. The observance of the Sabbath constitutes the grand di.stinctio?i between a Heathen and a Christian community. As creatures of God, and destined to render up our account to him in the great day, there is a moral sublimity in the idea of a day set apart from worldly cares to worship the Creator of angels and men, and to recognize our relation and duties to the Judge and Savior of all. The heathen woild enjoys no such high privileges; there no Sabbaths call them to rest and worship. This is their misery, but our high distinction as Christians. If for want of this they persist in ignorance, shall we lightly esteem this inestimable gift to men ? Amidst the bustle and cares of life, men are apt to forget the great truth that there is a future world to which they are hastening. We need a season, every week, to remind us of an hereafter. What more appropriate than the Sabbath for this purpose? While we remit our strength for the labors of the ensuing week, our time can be no better employed than to meet our friends and neighbors in the house of worship, and listen to the truths relating to our future existence. Remove the Sabbath, or allow it to be devoted to secular labor or boisterous pleasures, and the only barrier to the return of a semi-barbarism is broken down. We need no further legislation than to ignore a Christian Sabbath, and a return to heathenism (in such a land as this) is rapid and sure, with all its appalling sequents. What the law of God enjoins as a moral duty, is proper for human tribunals to enforce, and that in strict accordance with the law of liberty in religious worship. No disaster to any country can be greater than the consequent evil influences aroused in the commu- this requirement to abstain from Sabbath labor, have always been most favored in wealth and intelligence. 3. The observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest, is in accordance with the highest happiness of man. It is no arbitrary law to enslave the mind under a rigorous despotism, and to deprive men of the freedom of enjoyment. What more welcome boon to nity by annulling the rest of the Sabbath.

Hut on no account let us open the floodgates of iniquity and misery by its B. repeal. Striking Confirmation of Scripture.— One of the most interesting of the monuments of ancient Rome is the triumphal arch, erected to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus, who, after the destruction of the temple, made n triumphal inarch to Rome, bringing with him a long train of captive Jews and the spoils, among which were the sacred vessels of the temple. This procession is represented in the beautiful arch, which thus furnishes an illustration of the Bible nowhere else to be found, these being the only representations that exist of the sacred vessels, the table of the shew-bread, the golden candlestick with its seven branches, and the silver trumpets used by the priests to proclaim, the year of Jubilee. The Roman senate and people little thought, when erecting this monument to a deified emperor, that they were erecting a monument to the true God in the verification of prophecy and divine history. Not one of the Jews at Rome—of whom there are about six thousand—will even to this day, pass under the arch of Titus, although it spans one of the thoroughfares of the city ; they shun it as a memorial of a subjugation of their nation, which has never yet been retrieved, and regard it with aversion. Seed Sown at a Venture.—Rev. W. Robinson, a Baptist missionary in India, says : can tell you of a church, the origin of which may be traced to the leaving of a New Testament at a shop in a village. The missionary wished to give away the New Testament, but no one would have it; the Scrip-' tures were not sought after then as they are now ; so he laid it in a shop, and left it there for any one who might come to the shop, and wish for it. The shopkeeper could have torn it up, but he did not. After a time, a few hours I believe, two or three men cartie to this shop and saw the book ; they opened it, read it, and liked it, and took it away with them. The result was, that several persons from that village were eventually baptized— the men who took the Testament, and their wives. I know the men and their wives too; and the church that sprang up from this little incident is as palpable to the senses as any ether church. Come to Calcutta, cross the river to a little village called Homrah, and there you may see, assembled in a very neat little chapel, the very church in question."— Bible Advocate. In Cincinnati, a few days since, a man fell head-foremast through a hatchway in the warehouse, striking a barrel of lard and burying himself to the depth of two feet, leaving his legs sticking up in the air. Before he could suffocate he was drawn out, looking like a mammoth candle with a double wick. The hot-house of the Czar, in lat. 60 N., contain the finest collection of tropical plants in Europe.

It is delightful to witness their abilities, talents and energies enlisted in so good and praiseworthy a cause. Their pledge is thorough-going, embracing wine, beer, cider, and whatever intoxicates.

Just Austrian troops, amounting to about half a million, arc swarming on the plains of Lombnrdy and the eastern borders of Sardinia. French troops, coming in on the west and south, are joining the Sardinians in immense numbers. Russia on the north, sympathising and in alliance with the latter, is holding its neighboring German Suites in check, and ready, if need be, to baptize Vienna herself, with a Russian name, in Austrian blood. Austria professedly struggles for her rights in Italy and national honor; while her opponents contend for Italian rights and freedom from an intolerable despotism. Of course, all questions of self-aggrandizement are ignored when nation lilts up sword against nation, and when Pat O'Flnherty steps into the riiie; to close the window curtains of Mike O'Brien! At the latest dates, (May 2 and 3,) the first blood had been shed in the repulse of some Austrian troops; and more serious tidings would have been reported, but for the high waters of the Po and its tributaries preventing the immediate crash, and another Waterloo scene.

His appeal to his fellow-sailors was of the most touching character—tears were streaming down that old weather-beaten face—truly a skeptic would have stood a poor chance of convicing that honest old tar—that there was no God. Toward the close of the meeting, Mr. Stuart invited every man of them that had an intelligent hope in Christ, that believed they were born again—to come forward and give us the right hand of Christian fellowship. You should have witnessed that scene. About seventy in number came forward and grasped our bands (and in u manner I felt for some hours after). Brother S. asked them to name their country as they passed along. I come from England said one—a Hibernian exclaimed the second—l'm frae Scotland, said a son of the land o' cakes—l'm from Maine—l'm from South Carolina—l'm from Sweden—from Norway—from Wales—from Germany—and one raid, I'm from Lapland. Brother Simons could stand it no longer, so he started the hymn From Greenland's icy mountains, "From India's coral strands," Aco. That was indeed a union meeting—there were ten or twelve nu;ions represented. The Jack that wanted to see the man as said there was no God, and argue with him, saw him and found in him a brother,and a brother and a traveler bound to the same port. But I had nearly forgotten one that takes a deep interest in this work ; when I entered that meeting—seated by a capstan in the midst of those rough-looking sailors, was one that had been reared in the lap of luxury— whose position gives her an entrance into the highest society—a lady, the wife of ihe commander—sat there, and by her presence and influence, has been the means of doing much — good.

We entered Omoa Hay next d ly and lound were the people in a stale of war, if butchering defenseless women and children while they arc asleep can he called war. We found thnton the day preceding our arrival, eighty warriors proceedetl in ten canoes from Omoa to llanavavi Hay. landed in the night, attacked one house, killing two men and two women. One of ihe men fled from the house with his infant daughter in his anus, hut was shot down, beheaded, and the little one. two years old, taken captive. The mother made her escape, making unavailing moans and rries fur her lost child. The four beads were taken offnnd, together with the infant, taken to Omoa in triumph —the heroes deeming it most prudent to decamp before the sleepers had become sufficiently awakened to attack in their turn. One of the heads, that of a woman, was seen by our people at Hivaoa, salted down in a tub, which was carried to Hivaoa as a trophy. The fate of the little one was dreadful. Its eyes were drawn open and filled with sand, a hag approached as if to kiss it, hut sent her teeth into its cheeks, just under the eyes! Just as we were entering the bay. she was carried up to a mount close to our anchorage, and there, in n cocoanut grove which is consecrated to their god, she was strangled nnd left in a silting posture, propped up with stones. I asked a native why they did it; he said, "O givee devil, so devil help when fight." I asked one of the leading men, who enjoys the reputation of being a great warrior, (and by the way the same that shot the woman whose head was salted,) if we could have permission to visit the above named cocoanut grove; he said, " 0 nn. got gote up there," meaning a god. They sai I none who were defiled by eating with women could go there. I noticed that this man had been shot through the wrist on some former occision, and that he was not at all proud of his wound, but endeavored to conceal it. I told him the next ball might strike in a better place and finish him, but he thought not. In a conversation with some of these warriors, I observed, that soon they would nil be dead, that the next generation would know better, that their wars and tabus would, with them- �58 THE FRIEND, 1 I ii I ST selves, all go by the board ; they said yes, we know all that, but at present we must tight the Typees, who nre always trying to kill us.

Hivaoa, where we heard of the lrs< oi ship Ttcilight, sperm whaler, of Now Bedford, at llananianti Hay, about eight iiuhs west of us. She was wrecked on the evening of the 11th, and was seven mouths out—had two hundred barrels sperm nnd forty barrels blackball oil on bonrd. I also found that Mr. Bickneil was nt the wreck rendering what assistance he could in preventing the natives Irom robbing the vessel. He tame on board the next day and inhumed mc il at Capt. Hathaway had sent a boat to Nnuliiva, and desired assistance. I determimd to dispatch my work as quickly as possible and proceed to Hanamanu. Mr. H. Mated alto that the natives were troublesome, and that the ship's company were constantly under arms. We removed to Hauntakua Bay on the 10th, and had finished our work tin re, when .Mr. Bickneil cam'- on board late on Saturday, (we had intended to have spent the Sabbath there,) and said he bad received information that the natives wire planning an attack upon the works of Capt. Hathaway, ami were actually concentrating in large numbers. We -feared Capt. H. might he taken unawares, so we sailed early next morning anil arrived at noon, finding all well. Mr. Bickneil accompanied us, The boat had returned from Nuuliiva without assistance, which was the time for the natives to strike. Our arrival however upset all their plans. I commenced taking on board the goods saved from the wreck at once. We had all on board on the 15th, and sailed from Hanamanu Bay before dawn on the 16th, proceeding to Hanaabi,and landing the goods for Mr. Bickneil the same day. We next proceeded to Puamau. and on Saturday evening had all the goods for that station on shore. We spent a very pleasant Sabbath with the missionaries, attending a very interesting meeting of the natives at Kekela's meeting-hnusc, and on Monday. 20th, sailed for Fatuhivu with all on board, amounting now to sixty-three persons. We finished our work at that island and sailed for Uesolution Bay for the purpose of landing Rev. L. Kaiwi and family. Left that place for Tahiti on Thursday, 2'id, and arrived at Tahiti Tuesday evening, 2Sth, where the crew of the Twilight were landed. It was my intention to have left Tahiti next day, but stormy weather set in, which effectually shut us in until the morning of the 4th of July, when the weather cleared, and we towed out at sunrise. The French storeship Indefatigable was nt Tahiti, all ready for sea, bound to New Caledonia, but waiting for a mail, which arrived from Chile on the 3d, bringing news of war between France and Austria. In the national brigantine Railleur, the Governor and his staff left Tahiti for New Caledonia April 25, taking all the French forces except 100 troops and a large proportion of officers. All have also been removed from the Marquesas, except the French flag and the missionaries. The latter we found in want of provisions and supplied them. Tahiti is the most magnificent island I ever , 1859. saw. The harbor in which we lay, Papeete, is one of the most beautiful in the wide world. I was there thirty five years since, when nil the houses and nearly all the people were native ; now, on arriving off the harbor, very large, beautiful nnd costly dwellings nnd stores are seen skirting nlmost the entire harbor. The broom road, which encircles the whole island, is very good for horses, and the most of it for carriages. Our passengers were perfectly delighted with Tahiti. Tl.i re are some very beautiful spots among the Marquesas. Puamau is one of the finest nnd pleasantest, the scenery of which was considered delightful by Messrs. Vaudrey antl Fnesach. The bay is spacious and easy of access, with near a square mile of good anchorage for the largest ships. The lays however on the norih coast of Hivaoa, although they may be considered safe during the prevalence of the trade winds, are yet all open to the north and westward. A ground swell constantly rolls in, increasing as it near* the shorts, causing a vessel to ride very uneasily at anchor, and throwing a heavy surf upon thi' beach. Much caution is required in leaving some of these bays, as the tides run across the heads with considerable strength—the winds generally fitful and bofllingiiear the heads, which are very high. llaifck:ri is the best on this account, as the heads arc low, am! the trade blows regularly. Puamau is also safe 111 this respect. Hanaalii is the worst on the coast, being small, the surrounding land very high, the wind coming from all directions at nearly the same time. Resolution Bay, at Tahuata, I think, also cannot he highly recommended, as it is very frequently disturbed by strong squalls, ami has ve,v deep water; we anchored in twentyone fathoms. It is not uncommon for ships to start their anchors and drag out of this bay, as I have witnessed. July 6th we had a moderate gale from the north, and matte little progress. It hauled next day I" N. Iv, anil finally to E., for a couple ol days, when it hauled to N. E. and remained until we arrived to rat. 5 deg. S., when it again hauled to li. We crossed the line on Wednesday, 13th, in long. MSI deg. III! mm. W., being ciirrented W. full thirty miles on that day. After passing into north latitude, the wind changed to Iv S. E., with fine weather. On the 15th, lat. 6 deg. 85 mm. N., long. 117 deg. 46 mm. W., found wo had entered a strong easterly current, which had set us in the twenty-four hours thirty-five miles due east, the exact spot where we found the easterly set, calm and variable wind*, on our passage south. The trad" also, whirh had been blowing finely from E. S. E., failed us nt this point, the wind hauling to the smith, with squally and rainy weather, occasionally calm. We remained in the doldrums until the 19th, (being currented eastward thirty miles each day.) when we were in lat. 9 deg. 45 N., nnd took the trades fresh from N. E„ and made Hawaii Saturday morning, 23d, at sunrise. Very respectfully, Jno. VV. Brown.

(al. " : Wreck of the "Twilight." Dear Sir.:—Thinking an account of the loss of the whaleship Twilight, of New Bedford, might be interesting to your readers, I know of no better way in which 1 can employ myself, than in giving you the particulars of her loss. She was commanded by Capt. Sylvester Hathaway, and was about seven months from home; we had seen sperm whales three times, and had taken 200 bbls. of sperm, and 40 bbls. of blnekfish. On the 2Sth of May, we came to anchor in the Bay ol Hanamanu, Dominica Island, one of the Marquesas group, to recruit ship. After lying there five days, havinggot all the supplies we could, we started from the bay on the evening of the 2nd ofJune, with a light breeze blowing directly out of the hay, when the wind suddenly hauled around to northeast nnd struck us aback. We immediately braced around and lowered two boats to tow, but the ship being very sharp aft, and a heavy swell rolling in at the time, she gathered Sternway almost immediately; which was no sooner perceived, than we let go our larboard anchor; but it did not hold her, lor she struck in a k\v momenta after we let it go. We then ran out two hedges, one weighing 1000 lbs., the other 125 lbs., and tried to kedge her off, but owing to her heavy surging, she parted both lines. As our only resource now waa the anchors, we hove up the larboard anchor, placed it on a raft made of empty casks and towed it out as far as we could, let it go, and began to heave; but the anchor came home as fast as we hove. Tho ship was now striking very heavy, and had considerable water in her hold. Finding nil attempts to save the ship useless, the captain called the officers together and consulted with them, and came to the conclusion to cut away her masts, in order to save some of the cargo. As soon as it was daylight, we lowered the boats and commenced sending ashore what few things we could save. The moment the ship struck, the natives rushed aboard and stole everything they could lay their hands on. While we were trying to stive the ship, we rould do nothing to prevent them ; but when we found that we could not save her, we turned our attention to saving what we could of the cargo. We finally drove them all off, and commenced sending ashore what few things we could save. Over the things we landed, we were obliged to place a guard, and even then the natives contrived to steal a great many things. As soon as we could, we got some sails ashore and made a tent, and placed all the things in it as fast as they came ashore. On the 4th of June, we were very agreeably surprised at receiving a visit from the Rev. J. Bickneil, as we were not aware there was any white missionary residing on the island. I assure you that his presence amongst us cheered and revived our drooping spirits considerably. He came prepared to assist us in building a house ; but as we had just finished one, we did not require his assistance. But there was not one of the ship's company who did not feel just as grateful to him as though we had required his assistance; and I feel assured, that I may safely return him the sincere thanks of the whole ship's company, for the kindness which he extended to us during our stay on the island. I must here pause to �SJK 59 THE FRIEND. AUGV 8 T, 1 8 that he is one of Nature's noblemen, and j brig had several passengers aboard, and a A Converted Brahminin America.— say, Dedham (Mass.)

The second says, " .Me Qualan (Strong's Island) man ; Miki Snow me mikanari." And the third (Hogolen) man. Me no says, "Me mikanari. Me want mikanari, me people |ieal, nnd the Hawaiian Missionary Society responded to the appeal, sent out a bund ol Hawaiian missionaries, with their associate, Mr. Bickneil. Matonui had but an indefinite idea of what he asked for. The history of the Hawaiian Missions to the Maiquesas speaks volumes in favor of sending out missionaries. Not to speak of Hie good effected among the cannibal Marquesans, the entire crew of the Twilight most thankfully ascribe the preservation of their lives to the presence of Mr. Bickneil, and the opportune arrival of the Morning Star. This incident affords a most happy illustration of the reflex influence of missions. He that watercth, shall be watered himself." We would merely add that the Morning Star is expecbd to explore the Hogolen group during her next trip to the wesiwaul.

"yTofahvefr An old visitor and frequenter of the Home, formerly officer on board a whale ship, now a petty officer on board the U. S. sloop-ofwar St. Louis in the Gulfof Mexico, thus writes from San Juan del Norte, under date of June 1, 1869: " I was reading the Sailor's Magazine of last March, and was very -happy to see a piece written by you announcing the benefit the Sailor's Home had done, and that now the debt amounted to only three hundred dollars. You do not know how happy 1 should feel if I could only raise that sum and send it to you. I will try and do it, or raise as much as I can. We cannot put our money, I think, in a better place, and to a better purpose. Write to me, and tell me how I can send you the money for the benefit of the Sailor's Home." Our correspondent adds the following respecting some of those seamen who have professed to have become religious men during the late revival in New York : "We have aboard about twenty or more converts of Mr. Jones of New York, (Chaplain in the Mariner's Church,) who ire really very good men, and they have services every night in the cock-pit. The Captain Ims allowed them that privilege." ThD e ashaways. A cold bath or a tumbler of ice water is very refreshing in a warm nnd sultry dogday of August, but not half so refreshing as the reports of the well sustained meetings of the Dashaw lys. They are held every Saturday evening at the Bethel Vestry, and are well attended. The present number of members is more than fifty. The growth of this Association is one ol the most encouraging features in the prospects of our city. Too long have the hard working mechanics, the carpenters, the masons, and the tailors, been accustomed to spend their earnings ut the dram shop. The scores which some of these men have run up are frightful. Many have spent more than SoOO per annum for strong drink, and others all they could earn. Most nobly have they came forward and pledged their names and honor that they will put an end to such proceedings. The actual saving of money, however, is but a small portion of the real gain to individuals, families and the community. If the community would bear the recital, we could relate a story of rum's doings in Honolulu that would make humanity weep. Alas for the noble, the generous, the free-hearted, the talented, that have gone down to an untimely grave, and still they go! O ye, who are sporting with the tempter, beware, or you will add your names to the ignoble list of rum victims Arise, and add your names to the noble list of Dashaways! ! �61 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1859. The Hula.—Late news from Tahiti reports the polite Frenchmen as having banished the Goddess of the Hulas from the dominions of the Protectorate. Quite a com pliment to Puritan prejudice or missionary influence! For many years she was forbidden to exhibit her licentious practices upon Hawaiian shores; but within a few years pas; she has returned and coquetted with persons of the baser sort." According to the New Code, it appears that by paying ftlO, at the discretion of the Minister of the Interior, she may give a performance, or make an exhibition of her indecent and corrupting dance.*. In the names of decency, purity, virtue, morality, and Christianity, we hope the Minister will preserve the dignity and respectability of his high position, by making il tabu la for a hula dance within the dominions ol His M jesty Kamehameha IV. " " Late News. —An " Extra from the Advertiser office, and a "Supplement" from the Polynesian, issued last Monday, furnish the latest intelligence from Europe and America. On the 4lh of June and ihe day following, near 300,000 soldiers fought desperately upon the banks of the Ticino. Both Austriansand French claim the victory. Many thousands were killed. The French have gained a position upon the opposite side of the Ticino. The very latest dates state that they were about to enter Milan. The great struggle appears to have just commenced. Germany will join the Austrian*, England will remain neutral, if possible. HDaoewkintsh,fWashi the ngtonian Dashaway. Just one year ago died the leader of theold Washingtonian temperance movement. The following truthful and eloquent tribute to his memory is from the pen of the distinguished writer, L. M. Sargent, Esq. :— The career of this good and eminently useful man terminated on the 26th day of August last. By his unwearied and consistent efforts for seventeen years, an incalculable amount of good has been wrought in the cause ol temperance and humanity. A higher order of talent, a superior education, and a more elevated social position would have availed him less than the condition and circumstances from which he emerged, to become what he has been, for the period of seventeen years —the unwavering and indefatigable advocate of the temperance cause. As tamed elephants are employed, in the East, to catch and convert the wild ones, so drunkards, who have really reformed, are the most effective agents to operate upon those who have not. The physician is the most acceptable, who, we believe, has a clear comprehension of our case ; and the more so, if he has ever had a severe touch of the same malady himself. In 1&10, Mr. Hawkins was a consummate drunkard. His reformation was complete, and his consistency beyond all • question. He was a man of clear head, aud an honest heart; and his influence, among the intemperate, was great; the seals of his effective ministration weie numerous. Well, this good man is no more. If he had been a man of wealth, the first question, on 'Change, would be—•• what did hcleavef" Now, our readers will perceive, what a miserable manager he was, when we tell them that be invested the little treasure that he had in a stock, which, we fear, is not at a premium in the market—he invested it in heaven. But he left a widow and a daughter —that daughter, Hannah Hawkins, who was, under God, the author and finisher of her poor father's reformation, and the history of whose filial deration is before the temperance world, an imperishable recoid. He lelt them dependent. His thought, his time, his care, Ins efforts, he gave to the cause of temperance. His relormation, his peace of mind, his rest in heaven—for drunkards, we are told, cannot enter there—he owed to this more than Grecian daughter. What a debt ! Can H ever be paid ? A portion of it may. Who, in some sense, is not a beneficiary of this public benefactor ? The drunkard, reformed by his exertions, owes the exact value, whatever it may be, of his moral resurrection. And every brand, snatched from the burning, the conversion of every drunken pauper, into a sober, working citizen, confers an obligation upon the whole community. lisnh issionary. Let froEmnagM THE MURDERER OF THE MISSIONARY JOHN WILLIAMS. We copy the following paragraphs from a letter written by the Key. George Gill, dated Karotonga, ISth December, ISoS: " I notice a paragraph in the Frivivl of September, ISSB, respecting the man who murdered the never-to-be-forgotten Williams, copied from my brother's work 'Gems from the Coral Islands,' *CC. As the John Williams, missionary bark, has just landed me in the midst of my family anil duties here after an absence of four and a half months, during which time, in company with the Key. Geo. Stall worthy, of Samoa, I visited Erromanga and all our stations in Western Polynesia, you may be gratified with a few notes, addenda, respecting that memorable spot. The Key. G. N. Gordon of the Nova Scotia Mission, began his labors there, I think, in June, 1557, and reports that the work of God is making a little favorable progress, notwithstanding wars from without and wars from within. Up to the present time there has been much fighting on Enomanga, especially about Dillon's Bay, although not many have been killed. The reason that then itives kill few in their wars, is on account of the large fortified caves which they have on the island, and into which they betake themselves when pursued by their enemies. " The chiefs about Dillon's Bay are bad men, nnd fond of fighting. Of late, however, one of them has began to attend daily instruction. It was hoped that Kauiau, sometimes called Rariani, the chief who killed Williams, was at one time favorably disposed to attend to the advice nnd counsel of the teachers ; but he is still a painted savage, going about in a state of nudity, thirsting for the blood of his fellows, and iscontin ually in a fighting attitude with all his part) He is but seldom seen about the missio premises. After Mr. Gordon landed there the native teachers were so located as t secure a greater extent of influence am labor. Alter three months diligent labor, Mr G.s congregation would number twenty these would attend with considerable regu lurity to the means of Christian instruction •• At Bunliill stution the native teachers have been sadly disappointed in their expectations, for up to a recent date but few would attend to their counsels and instructions. They are however upon the whole cheered with tokens of advancement rather than retrogression. Throughout the New Hebrides Group and Loyalty Group many circumstances conspire to urge us to press forward and enter and take possession in the name of our Lord and Master, but the men are not to be found who are willing to join Claims of other countries, in the work. China, India nnd Africa, seem just now to absorb all the philanthropy of our churches at home, so we must trust to native agency, and the more earnestly seek God's blessing upon all our labors. " By the first opportunity I will forward you a few more Knrotongan Bibles and publications. I send this via Tahiti and hope it will reach you early. — " Yours faithfully, Geo. Gill." The Use ok Spirits in the Indian Army. The Bombay correspondent of The Morning Post says: " While speaking of spirits, it brings to mind an order just issued by the Governor-General, preventing the sale of spirituous liquors to British troops marching through the Northwest Provinces. It has been ruled by his Lordship that every place for the sale of spirits on the line of march shall be closed while a regiment or detachment of soldiers is passing by or encamped in its vicinity. Such shops to be closed during the passage or period of encampment of troops, nnd compensation at certain prescribed rates is to be made to the retailers for los.-es thus sustained by them. This is a wholesale regulation, nnd if carried out in its integrity will be the means ol saving many a soldier's life. The income of the Pope is said to be Of this, $600,000 are appropriated to his private affairs, $2,192,000 to $8,000,000. pay interest, $2,700,000 to support the array and police, $600,000 to support prisons, and $24,000 to schools. Had we a voice in the councils of His Holiness, we would recommend an exchange of prison and school appropriations. $600,000 for schools would, in a few years, render $24,000 for prisons quite sufficient. �TI.E FRIEND, AUGUST, 1859. 62 .. teach, they pray, ami devote themselves to all Or Our attention has been called to the followso ingby a in Dashaway," and inserted at his reAr.' thej sr.xid works wrong r i 'In Tin: Editor nt ran FortciD,— Sr: —May I St as us fill ta quest.

Our Currency.—The Chamber of Commerce has nmlertakcn to regulate the currency of the kingdom. The gentlemen belonging to that honorable Board are large dealers, nnd seldom perhaps handle coin of less vnlne than $5 or SJO pieces. The present position of the currency question may suit those gentlemen, but it dons lint suit the people who deal in small change. A correspondent in the last PiWyatlils. writing from Hawaii, says: "Give us plenty of sin.ill change, and the gold will take care of itself," So soy the people. The demand is for small coin. The demands of the New Cialc—l'ost Office laws and Markets—absolutely demand that something shall lie done to biiug the dime" and half-dime" into circulation. They nro row scarce as snow-tl ikes in summer, ."'o they will continue, all reasoning to the contrary, until " rials" and " half-rials" are put upon a par with "dimes" and " h'nlf'-diines." Pass this resolution in the Chamber, nnd very soon thero will be a speedy stampede of those smooth-faced, ugly-looking and antiquated old .Spanish coin. The sooner the arrangement is made'he belter for nil concerned, nut excepting (be " poor kanakas." " " Who will contribute for the painting of the Siilnrs' Home ?

SEPTEMBER 3, 1850. New Publication. I, No. I—lter. W. A. The Pacific Scott, D. V., Editor —Published in San Francisco, by G. W. Stevens. Expositor—Vol. This is a new Monthly. The July number has been received, and we shall be most happy to place it upon our exchange list. The design of the publication may be gathered from the following paragraphs, copied from the Prospectus : " The Pacific Expositor is to be devoted to the exposition of God'sWord, and the preaching of the Gospel, according to the standards of our Church. We wish to do by the press for our fellow men, just what wo do for Calvary Congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to expound, explain and preach to them the Word of the Living God. * * * The .Editor and Publisher do not propose to make money by the work. They desire only such aid from their fellow citizens as will cover the expenses of publication. Not one dollar of the subscriptions will be appropriated to the Editor's private use. All that is subscribed beyond the actual cost, will be spent in extending the circulation of the work among our miners, cattle-drivers, farmers, sailors and travelers. The Expositor will be issued every month, at three dollars per annum." Most cordially we welcome a fellow laborer, who is starting in a career very similar to that we entered upon nearly seventeen years ago, when we invited the public to sustain the Friend. We know something of the " FTHE RIEND toil connected with the publication of u Monthly while (sustaining the duties and responsibilities of a gospel minister. We would fondly hope the projector of this enterprise may meet with success ..iresponding to his enlarged views. The power of the press is mighty for weal or woe to the community. < Lei tiic peeks speak in trumpet tones in favor of truth, piety, the Sabbath, and every good cause. Dr. Scott has already shown ability as an expounder of the Bible. His " Wedge of Gold" and " The Giant Judge" arc highly creditable efforts. Some months ago a friend in San Francisco sent us the "Giant Judge," and we have read it with much delight. The design and execution of the several publications of Dr. Scott which have fallen in our way, evidently evince reading and study, together with this admirable idea, that the Bible shall be its own interpreter. Now, if a publication can be made to spread out before the reading public the real meaning of both the Old and New Testaments, its usefulness will be very great; it will foster Bible reading in the community. Wherever the Expositor is circulated, there will spring up a desire to read those parts of the Scriptures which arc dwelt upon in its pages. In perusing Dr. Scott's publications, such as his " Daniel," " Giant Judge," " Wedge of Gold," &c, we have observed that in reeling off his thread of discourse, he displays considerable skill in twisting the threads of other writers with this own. This is not altogether objectionable in a good expository piece of composition. It may be necessary, but there is this danger, when the pen moves rapidly, the thread may kink. If newspaper reports can be relied upon, such a kink has occurred in his last publication, " The Bible and Politics." The report grates upon the car, that Dr. Scott has denounced King James' translation of the Bible as a sectarian book, and on that account should not be read in the common schools of California. This is the kink to which we allude, but we are 65 {(Olb iemts, Vol. IB glad to see lhat certain writers in the Pacific, including Dr. Anderson and a layman, (reported to be a distinguished lawyer, Mr. Height, of San Francisco,) have undertaken to unwind or untwist this kink of Dr. Scott. From our reading of their articles, we think that success will crown their efforts ; hence wo sin.ll !"ipe to sec no leaves of the •' Bible and Politics" stitched a.r.ontr the pages of the Monthly Pacific Expositor. If they should be, we fear their pcrsusal would essentially damage the publication among all good old school Presbyterians and Prostestants generally, although they might gratify those who sympathise with the Roman Catholics in their views of common school 4-. Queen's Hospital.—This institution is now in successful operation under the efficient management of Dr. Hillebrand. The building occupied as a temporary hospital is admirably suited to the purpose. Over one hundred patients have received medical advice and treatment from the dispensary, and there arc averaging ten boarding inmates. The usefulness of the institution is already apparent and will become more so, as months and years pass away. Mr. Brewster's School.—Schools abound in Honolulu, but more arc still needed. That under the charge of Mr. Brewster, commenced under good auspices, and is gradually increasing in numbers. We confidently hope it may grow into an institution to vie with the one at Punahou, or most certainly answer the purpose of fitting pupils for Oahu College. Let the teacher have a fair trial. In a late paper, we notice that the insurance companies and merchants of New York, have contributed $5,000 for refitting the Sailor's Home in that city! We hope the merchants of Honolulu, and other friends of our Sailor's Home, will contribute as many hundreds to put ours in good repair, and cover it with one or more coats of paint. �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, 1859. 66 caring for them, and acting the "good Samaritan" generally in their behalf; and graduThe Dashaways. ally finding out tho necessity for the step, The Dashaways of San Francisco—Have have now leased a building and established a 44 your readers heard anything about them ? home for inebriates," where the victims of They are making a great stir, and promising strong drink, both male and female, are cared to do much good.

Then others besides firemen joined them, and then public meetings were held, and the whole community were invited to join in the movement. They soon began to convert their numbers by hundreds, and now by thojsands. Of course, the liquor sellers were " taken aback" by this sudden move. One of them, who had been the principal purveyor of liquor to the fire company among whom the reform originated, soon had to note a diminution of receipts in his till, of not less than fourteen dollars a day ; and now, I cannot doubt that at least five hundred dollars are saved every day to sober men, that was formerly spent in grog shops. But these poison dealers consoled themselves to each other with the assurance that when the six months were over, these fellows would drink more than ever before. But they were doomed to disappointment. When the time had expired, nearly all that signed (he first pledge renewed it for another six months, and multitudes more joined them. So the hope of these manslayers has perished. The Dashaways do not promise not to sell, buy, give away or manufacture ardent spirits, but just not to drink it. Of course, this singleness of object enables (hem to gather in the more of those who need reform, and spread their power the more rapidly. The short time for which they pledge themselves has the same tendency. These men arc doing good in another way. They are trying to save drunkards who are past being saved by the pledge. They have been in the habit of picking up drunken men from the streets, carrying them to their rooms, which, I trust, as it is " my lirst appearance" in the capacity of a temperencc lecturer, you will indulgently receive, and overlook the errors in style, which more or less hang around maiden attempts at any labor. Fellow Dashaways!—We have arrived at last to the dignity of an " Institution," that mythical word, which to the ears of a free and enlightened citizen of Great Yankecdom, is suggestive of something bearing all the elements of success, and possessed of a vitality which nothing but our own folly can destroy. We are 57 strong, numbering a few more, after only one month's existence, than the "Honolulu Rifles," besides having enrolled in our ranks also, some of the gentler sex, whom the cruel mandates of stem war forbid the opposition Company for the integrity and safeguard of the kingdom, to admit. Our duty, soldiers of the Dashaways, is of a different nature ; it is to protect each other by sympathy and encouragement in a war for self-preservation against a foe which most of us were almost willing to lay down arms to, and acknowledge ourselves beaten. Thanks, then, Mr. President, to the worthy Decemvirs, the Original Ten, who shaky as they were from the effects of the libations to the success and continuation ofthe Ge-rateand the Gellorious Fourth of July '69, (long may she wave,) had nerve enough left after such sacrifices, to sign the application to your worthy self, who wished to lie surrounded by that classical numlier of supporters, before throwing the bass drum overboard, and taking the lead of the Forlorn Hope. I sincerely hope, Mr. President, Mr. Vice President and Secretary, that the " Sacred Screed" has been carefully preserved, and laid away 41 in lavender" in the archives of the Order. I shall not, this evening, enter into a statistical account of the quantity of Rum, Wine, Brandy, Gin, Okolehao, Eau dc Cologne, Oregon Cider, or Painkiller, drank on these Islands, in the United States, in Europe or the rest of the world. As my daily occupation, being that of a professional figurer, I know that figures sometimes can be made, if they are hard enough driven into a corner, to do as young women are said to do—fib a little, or as a drunken statistician once audibly remarked to a friend as he was reeling home : " Hie, Hie, I say, Bill! they say figures won't lie, but here's a figger, that can't stand anyhow," and suiting the action to the word, dropped. The Custom House returns made up by the Collector General of Customs, with greatcare and official skill, will sufficiently show the consumption of foreign liquors which pay duty—and it is certainly not a duty of mine to speak of that sold which does not pay into the coffers of Government, its specific tax. It is, however, a fair subject of inquiry, on the part of the drinking man, to know what quantity of the Real Article he drinks, and what of spurious, when he throws down his quarter for his.fid. He would feel himself entitled to do it at his butchers, his bakers, or his candlestick makers," why not at his liquor merchants ? But the truth is, lam afraid he swallows his dram without scruples, nnd leaves it to the startling developments of those curious in the exploration of hidden things, to show up the compounds. " The advantages derived from following the dictates of our Pledge are apparent to the most determined of our railcrs. The vender of intoxicating beverages himself, turns his assistant at mixing julips, cobblers, and "id oinnc" gin-us, quickly from his bar, should he imbibe beyond measure of the fascinating compounds. 4l He is a smart fellow, pity he drinks," is heard by us every day, as applied to sonic one, or the other, of our acquaintances, and if that acquaintance is of such a social position that it will not do to say it openly for fear of getting " picked up," it is whispered and hinted. Some undoubtedly get wrongly accused, for we all know that a red nose don't always mark out a " drinkinger" no more than it does a good potato ; or blue nose a Nova Scotian, but in the majority of instances, the " I say wife, is the milk tied up in anything, or lying about loose"— a evidences are conspicuous. It is a well-settled axiom,—Trust your business to any one but a drunkard. His honesty may be unimpeachable, but in unguarded moments he may betray the clue to a master scheme, upon the successful carrying out of which the financial prosperity of a future life may depend. The I love thee, " of mine," is Cassio, but never more be officer familiar to every reader of Shakspeare. In conclusion, Mr. President, 1 have only to say, I trust our institution will prosper. I believe my name is entered for the shortest term on the roll, but having already broken two or three, or three or four temperance pledges, and they say a nameless place is paved with broken good resolutions, but with no more than I have made to knock off" drinking, I thought I would try it until after my birth-day, which happened to be four months from the date of signing. If the Queen of England should not die in the meantime, and the Prince of Wales ascend the throne, and the loyal Britons celebrate his birth-day, which is the same as mine, who am one of the independent sovereign Peeps," I may be able to get through, but " �THE FRIEND, SEI»TE M B E R you know the flesh is weak. One month of trial has been of such benefit to me, I may be prevailed upon, Mr. President, "as I feel so nicely, to do it again," and I sincerely trust that the whole of the members can reiterate the same remark. We must remember that it is the portion of humanity to err, 'tis an attribute of divinity to forgive—and let us look upon the brother that has strayed with ft feeling nearer akin to sorrow and pity, than scorn and contempt. None of us stand so firm but we may perchance fall. To the outsiders I would say, in a different tone from that of a political or trade opponent, "If you are not of us, you can't help being with us," lor what true man of you is there that can look at the majority of the names on that Pledge of temporal self-abstinence from drink, and wish to see one re- moved. The skillful mechanic and theaged clerk— the youth just grappling with life'sduties and the venerable grand parents about leaving them—all, by their sign-manual, bear witness to what they believe to be the integrity and worthiness of our cause. If you cannot help us, seek not to crush us. Ridicule is feared by many sensitive minds more than the most outrageous abuse. And if, itt some unguarded moment, relying upon your strength, you may be tempted to pass over the narrow limit which, in drinking, divides moderation from excess, you may meet the first cheering words from a member of our order, to win you back your lost self-respect. To the Lady Members of theOrdcrl would remark, that although it did not at first enter the minds of the formers of the Society that it would be encouraged by their personal example, yet had they but thought a moment, they would have known that the sex whom the disciple has praised as being the last at the cross and the first at the sepulcher, could not be absent from a society formed for the practice of the greatest and holiest of the Christian virtues, " Self-denial." The Dashaway must become the Teetotaller. The following truthful remarks of Charles Lamb, beautifully expressed, were quoted by Mr. Ingols in his Address before the Dashaways. Lamb, one of the most charming essayists in the English language, the 'Gentle Elia,' fond of puns and punch, and a good deal addicted to both, thus writes, and you will take notice he was much in want of a Dashaway alongside him : " Yea, but (methinks I hear somebody object) if sobriety be that fine thing you would have us to understand, if the comforts of a cool brain are to be preferred to that state of heated excitement which you describe and deplore, what hinders in your own instance that you do not return to those habits from which you would induce others never to swerve ? If the blessing be worth preserving, is it not worth recovering ? Recovering ! Oh, if a wish could transport me back to those days of youth, when a draught ftom the next clear spring could slake my heats, which summer suns and youthful exercise had power to stir up in the blood, how glad , would I return to thee, pure element, the drink of children, and of child-like holy hermit. In my dreams, I can sometimes fancy thy cool refreshment purling over my burning tongue. But my muring stomach rejects it. That which refreshes innocence only makes me sick and faint. But is there no middle way between total abstinence and tho excess which kills you ? For your sake, reader, and that you may never attain to my experience, with pain I must utter the dreadful truth that there is none, none that I can find. In my stage of habit (I speak not of habits less confirmed— for some of them, I believe the vice to be most prudential—) in the stage which I have reached, to stop short of that measure, which is sufficient to draw on torpor and sleep, the benumbing apoplectic sleep of the drunkard, is to have taken none at all. The pain of the self-denial is all one. And what that is, I had rather the reader should believe on my credit than know from his own trial. He will come to know it whenevtt he shall arrive at that state in which, paradoxical as it may appear, Reason sliatl only visit him through Intoxication ; for it is a fearful truth, that the intellectual faculties, by repented acts of intemperance, may be driven from their orderly sphere of action, theirclear daylight ministeries, until they shall be brought at last to depend, for the faint manifestations of their departing energies, upon the returning periods of the fatal madness, to which they owe their devastation. The drinking man is never less himself than during his sober intervals." 185 9 . 67 adventure, it is, under Providence, the great agent of civilization ; and I feel it my duty to add that everywhere in Asia and Africa, among the Caffrcs in Natal, on the continent of India, among the forests of Ceylon, and over the vast expanse of China, the testimony to the zeal and success of our countrymen as missionaries of truth is earnest and concurrent. I heard it everywhere and from high authority. Their praises greeted me when, after the dreariness of a long voyage, I put my foot ashore at the Cape of Good Hope, and when, nearly two years afterwards, I bade farewell to Eastern lands, my last delightful duty was to visit and for myself see the largest missionary school in Egypt, kept and admirably administered by an American—a Phildelphia woman (Miss Dale) —at Alexandria." Would it not do well to have the Day of our American Thanksgiving so arranged that all our missionaries, in every part of tho world, should be able to celebrate it as an American Festival ? The concert of prayer is now observed in many churches all the iworld over. The Concert of Thanksgiving would be more impressive, because more universal. Such a festival, acknowledging the God of the Bible as the Supreme Ruler of the destinies of our Great Republic, and setting apart the day as one of happy rejoicing and thankfulness for our individual and national blessings, would be an impressive spectacle to the people of every land and language. Let the last Thursday in November be agreed upon as the Day of American Thanksgiving in all the States of our Union, and the world would have a new epoch of American Missionaries and Thanksgiving hope, a new pledge of peace, and a new and Day. brighter ray from the torch of Liberty than The Hon.

" — :— �68 THE FRIEND, SEP T E■ THE FRIEND. SEPTEMBER 3, 1859 The Case of Plumer. During the last few months the papers of New England have been discussing the case of Plumer, tried for the murder of the Captain of the whale ship Junior off New Holland. The trial was long and supposed to be satisfactory, so far as the public and justice were concerned. For some reason, not fully made public, the most extraordinarily strenuous exertions were made for his benefit. A rumor was reported that he went under an assumed name, and was really connected with some of the first families of Boston. This statement has been denied. The jury brought in however a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenced to be hung. The day of his execution was appointed. At this stage of proceedings, Dr. C. F. Winslow, formerly of Lahaina, became interested in Planner's behalf. He has produced a remarkable change in public sentiment. Tcnol the jury have been induced to sign a petition for Plumer's pardon, while some twenty thousand and more have also petitioned the President of the United States in Plumer's favor. The papers do not publish the evidence upon which the community has been induced to believe that Plumer was innocent of the murder with which he was charged. The following we copy from the Massachusetts Spy, published at Worcester The announcement of the commutation of "Plumer's sentence, from death to imprisonment for life, was received in the community with general satisfaction. When the announcement was made to Plumer, who was at the time conferring with Dr. C. F. Winslow, relative to his affairs after his death, his eyes filled with tears of joy as he thanked his friend for bringing him such tidings, and for the exertions he and others had made in his behalf. The report was confirmed by the arrival of a special messenger from the Attorney General's office at Washington, with the announcement that the President had been induced by the petitions and the facts which had been presented to him to commute the sentence to imprisonment for life ! Mr. John A. Andrew, who visited Washington to present the petitions and the facts, and Dr. C. F. Winslow, who has taken a deep interest in the matter from its commencement, deserve credit for the success which has rewarded their efforts. Plumer has issued a card to the public, expressing his thanks to all the friends and editors of public journals who have been active in his behalf—to the signers of petitions in his favor— to many friends at Washington, to the members of the Cabinet, and especially to the President of the United States, and assuring them that his future conduct will show that interest has not been felt or mercy shown to a bad or unworthy man.

If he did not, and no old Roman ever visited our shores, how could an old Roman coin have been brought hither ? This is the question. A gentleman has handed over to us a copper Roman coin, and no mistake, saying it was picked up in a by-street of Honolulu ! How shall its presence be accounted for? When the Austrians fled from Milan they left the treasure-chest behind, and when Lord Cornwallis was captured at Yorktown, the 41 English sovereigns" fell into the hands of Washington ; but how came an old Roman copper coin in Honolulu ? Estimating its value according to the fabulous prices paid recently in London for old coin, its value must be invaluable: " A great sale of old coins, by auction, has recently taken place in London, and enormous prices were obtained. Three AngloSaxon pennies of different types were sold in one lot for $150! Pennies of Alfred's time sold for from $50 to $S0 each, and one halfpenny of great rarity brought more than a hundred dollars! A good penny of Henry the Third, of the highest rarity, sold for upwards of $600. Among the coins s(ruck for America may be mentioned the Lord Baltimore penny, said to be unique, $362; a New England half-penny, $75; the fifty shilling piece of Oliver Cromwell, $225; good five Killing pieces of Charles 11., $146."

The more improbable the story, the more interesting it is to the listeners. We were much amused with a tale of this kind which was related by an old native a few weeks since, during a short voyage in an island schooner. The story teller said that many years ago, before the accession of the Kamchamohas, the islands of Kauai, Niihau and Nihoa, were one, under the name of Niihau; and Oahu and Molokai were also united under tho name of the former island—the distance between the two being, at that time, several days sail. On one eventful day, however, two fishermen were busily engaged in their avocation, the one on the shore of VVaianac, on the western extremity of Oahu, and the other on the rocks of Koloa, in Niihau —now Kauai. Unfortunately, there was a strong current. The hooks were carried out to sea and be| came entangled together in the middle of the channel; and when the fishermen endeavored to haul in their lines, the two islands, unable to withstand the strain, parted from their moorings. Kauai broke off, first from Nihoa, and afterwards from Niihau, Oahu sepaj rated from Molokai, and the two main bodies approached each other. At length the lines broke, and the islands came to a stand still in their present positions. Some days elapsed before the kings of the two islands discovered the cause of these great changes. At length, being informed of the facts, they ordered the two fishermen to swim out into the channel and dive down after the hooks. Their commands were fulfilled. The hooks were recovered. And wonder} ful to relate there were found upon each hook, specimens of every kind of fish in the sea—from the whole down to the shrimp.—P. C. Adv.

One beautiful Sunday forenoon, I was walking the quarter-deck of a line thip running down the north-east trades. William Thornton, an old weather beaten sailor, was at the wheel, and I could hear him occasionally humming theair of "Black-eyed Susan," when my back was towards him. He was an excellent helmsman, and kept the ship to her course true as the needle to the pole. Although it is still, as it was then, contrary to rule to enter into conversation with the man at tho wheel, yet observing William smile, and raise-his hat upon "nine hairs," 1 asked him sympathetically—" What are you About my thinking about, William ?" sweetheart, sir." " Are you going to get married again when you return '." I was never married, sir, nor never will lit4, if I should live a thousand years, yet have a sweetheart. It's just forty years this day since I saw her, and 1 never saw her but once. But what interest can you have in an old salt's silly love dreams?" "Go ahead, William, tell me about this sweetheart." I'm in love myself, nnd can sympathize with " " you." 41 Well, sir, it is just forty years this day since I strolled into one of the big churches in Broadway, and was invited to a seat in a grand pew by an elderly gentleman. There were two young ladies with him. One of them, the moment our eyes met, said, as plainly as eyes could speak, ' I'm glad to see you again.' I was sure I had seen her lie- I) , SEPTEMBER, 1859. fore, 1 felt that we were old playmates, but for the soul of me I could not tell where. I could hardly take my eyes oil'her, she looked so good. When the services commenced she put a prayer-book in my hand and pointed to the ' lesson for the day,' but 1 looked more at her than I did at the lesson. I was young then, sir, and good-looking, too, and had as much self-conceit as most young men ; but the more I looked at that sweet girl the less I thought of myself. When the services were over I followed her to the door of the carriage, and could not help saying, as the gentleman handed her in, God bless you, my sweet angel,' nnd, to my surprise, instead of being oilended, she replied, ' Thank you, sir, and may He bless you too.' The gei.tleman raised his hat to me and smiled. 'Good-bye, Jack,' he said, ' good luck to you.' It was the voice of l sailor; he was, no doubt, a retired sea-captain. Both the ladies, though I had neglected one entirely, bowed to me out of the carriage window. In a moment they were gone, and I never saw them from that day to this, yet from that day to this I have truly loved that sweet girl." 44 Did you ever try to lind-who she was I" I inquired. 44 No, sir, what was the use ? I felt myself a poor, ignorant sailor, hardly able to write my own name, and 1 was not silly enough to think that such a lovely girl would care anything about me. Thinking about her took all the self-conceit out of me." " But you said you thought you had seen her before ; how was that 44 It was only in a dream, sir. 1 never saw her before. Now, as I'm growing old, 1 have been thinking seriously about trying to be good, that I may meet her in heaven. Every Sunday for forty years, has the scene in that church been before me, and every time I think upon my sweet girl, she looks more lovely than before. I could never think of marrying, with her imago ever present in my mind. Do you think, sir, it is possible for an old sinner like me to be good enough to go to heaven ?" ' . not, William ?" " Why why. About eight years " 1 tell you for that 1 saw I ago dreamed I left the sea, my dear angel go to heaven, and tried to be good. I worked along shore with riggers and stevedores, and had over two thousand dollars, that I saved, so I got along very comfortably. I joined the church, and thought I had got religion, when a rascally fellow cheated me out of lifty dollars. I was so mad, that I gave the fellow an awful hiding, and before he could set the law-dogs on me, I was at sea again. I think now that I did very wrong, but I'm so hard-hearted that I can't, in my soul, forgive the fellow, even to this day. " My sweet angel tells me in my dreams that I must forgive him, and that if I wish to join her, I must be good." He said much more, but the above affords a glance at his inner life, and shows the purity of his soul. It must not be thought that he was a whining old fool; on the contrary, he was a man of dauntless courage, bold even to recklessness, and quick to resent an insult. No men are thrown more upon their natural resources for mental food than seamen. For weeks, and even months, sky and water are their only companions ; and on long voyages, when they have watch and watch, their labor is very light. It is then their minds dwell upon the pleasant scenes of the past, and make the dross of earth appear divine. Bill Thornton's case is not singular. Almost every sailor has some beauteouslovedream, and hence the reason why so few of them marry.

As most of the sprigs of the Continent are poor, it will cost England a handsome sum of money to support, in royal style, these children of Her Majesty.— X. Y. Independent. A Wandering Printer.—Karl Ungling, journeyman printer, died at Detroit a few days ago, after wandering over a lame portion of the world. He was banished from Baden, ia Germany, for participating in the revolution of IS4B. He reached the United States just in time to volunteer in the Mexican war, and was wounded and disfigured for life at the battle of Buena Vista. After the war he traveled from Maine to Louisiana, and to the frontiers of civilization, as a journeyman printer; commenced the first German paper ever published in San Francisco, subsequently joined a theatrical company in Cincinnati, and was everywhere known as a scholar, poet, musician, and wit. He never remained long enough in one place to call it his home, but wherever lie went he left friends who admired his extraordinary talents and his characteristic vagaries. He could spin a yarn, write a poem, make a speech, sing a song, bring a melody from a guitar, or tip a glass of lagar beer with uneijualed spirit and cosmopolitan elegance. a The Abbot and the Pope.—At the conof St. Laurent, about a mile out of Rome, there is a privileged altar, that is to say, every mass said at this altar has the privilege of drawing one soul completely out of purgatory. It consequently enjoys a great reputation, and is much sought after by the faithful. One day the abbot found his convent 6,000 in arrear, that is, he had received payment for 0,000 masses at a crown each. vent �THE FRIEND, more than had been said. He repaired to Gregory XVI., and begged him since he was omnipotent,to grant that a single man should draw the whole 6,000 souls out of purgatory. The pope considered a while, then wrote a rescript to the desired effect. The abbot embraced the feet of the holy father, expressed his gratitude, and was about to retire, when Gregory called him back, saying, " A mass of 6,000 crowns; such a mass is lit for a pope; I will say it myself;" nnd in verity the following morning he repaired to the convert of St. Laurent, performed the mass, and the abbot had to hand him over the (5,000 piastres, equal to about one thousand two hundred pounds.

In the January number of the Friend for 1859, will be found the narrative of four natives of Lifu, an island of the Loyalty Group in the South Seas. The natives were taken to Ascension, Micronesia, and from thence brought by Capt. Thompson, of the China, to Honolulu, in the autumn of 1858, and taken hence to Rarotonga by Capt. Manchester, of the Morea. A letter just received from Rev. George Gill, of Rarotonga, furnishes the following intelligence: "The four natives brought by Capt. Manchester, duly arrived. They are natives of Lifu. An interesting account of that island and people you will find in the Gems of the Coral Islands.' As soon as our young men heard that there were four Lifuans on board, they were anxious to receive them, and in a day or two, got a pretty comfortable house put up for them on the hittitution premises. We shall feel it a sacred duty to care for them. We shall expect the John Williams here next June, and shall put them in charge of our esteemed captain, who will convey them to their own home. Many thanks to Captain Thompson, of the China, who treated them so generously and christianly. Providence does indeed very often open methods and ways very unexpectedly for us to do good. We have had a mission on Lifu for some years past." The Rev. Mr. Gill visited Lifu in July, 1958, in*company with the Rev. Mr. Stall- ' worthy. They were sent to visitall the mission stations during the cruise of the John Williams. They found laboring upon the island six Samoan and three Rnrotonga teachers, but no European missionaries. In a late letter from the Key. Mr. Howe of Tahiti, we are glad to learn that two English missionaries have just arrived, and will be located on the Island of Lifu. The Case of Plumer, Again. In our last number we stated that the senof Plumer had been commuted for imprisonment for life in the Charlestown State Prison. We also stated that this result had been brought about mainly through Dr. C. F. Winslow's efforts in Plumer's behalf. We have been permitted to read a private letter from Dr. Winslow, received since the issue tence of our last number, and from it we copy as follows: You may perceive that I have been interested to save the life of Plumer, and by the help of God and a large number of mankind have succeeded. I don't believe any man ever lived around whom a darker plot and stranger net work of circumstances have been woven than around that erring but generous fellow. It is my deliberate opinion that no sailor ought to be subject to the severest penalty of the law for engaging in a mutiny, when the discontent is fomented by a cabin officer, and connived at and stimulated by artful intrigues into mutiny and seizure of ship or master, for his own selfish objects. Then again, it is equally my deliberate opinion that no man should be hung on false testimony. Then again, it is my deliberate opinion that one man should not be selected for execution when all in the ship, except three or four, were guilty of the same act and complicated in it. This would be destructive ofall justice and an outrage upon all law. Then again, when a man is not a ringleader and did not do a murder, (as Plumer was not and did not this, 1 knoiv,) he ought not to be selected and hung for it, merely because he was a smart, bright fellow, " 73 \m Serifs, Vol. ill after troubles were over. Then again, even if a young man of twenty-one years was led off by bad counsels of his superiors and promises and bribes tc engage in a plot without intent to take life, and life was taken by others, and not by himself, and all fatal events were unpremeditated by him, and then when called to act of himself and of his own independent will and energy, he saved life and property and protected officers, I say it as my own deliberate conviction, that young man ought to have his errors and offenses forgiven him for his noble afterthoughts and bold courageous conduct and risks to his own lifs, and ought not to be hunted down, &c., dec. But above all, it has seemed to me that it would be most unsafe and disastrous to the safety and lives of officers hereafter for the only humane man in a ship, who dared to risk his life to save officers and foreigners and property, to be executed and sacrificed to the rigor of the law. For if so.what sailor, however humane and anxious to save life, would dare to interpose when he remembered Plumer's fate ? &c., Ace. These are my reasons, and many more, for my great interest in the whole whaling fleet, and for all time to come to be firm as a mountain in this and about this man, who was a complete stranger to me till after his trial and conviction. But I have fought the fight and won the victory through the help of God and my faith in his justice and the goodness of mankind." found in command of the ship We would acknowledge a full file of the British Messenger, published by Peter Drummond, Esq., Stirling, Scotland. Also, a donation of £10 worth of the publications of the Religious Tract Society, London ; a donation of 100 prayer books of the Episcopal Church of United States, from the " Homily and Prayer Society of New York." We would acknowledge a large bundleof books from the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, of Honolulu,for gratuitous distribution among seamen. �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1859. 74 Sailors should write Home. We cannot find language to express our disapprobation of those seamen who will not, when in port, write to their friends. We should be sorry to see a sailor " seized up" and severely punished, still if he was seized up and his mother stood by to lay on the blows for not writing home, we should not shed many tears. By the last mail we received a letter from the mother of a sailor in the Pacific, in which she earnestly entreats us to look for her absent son, who has not written home for years. These are her words addressed tn us : " Will you be kind enough, when the ship comes in, to give him a few lines which I will put into your letter? If alive or dead, when the ship comes, whatever information you have of him, please send it to me, to ease mij aching heart and worried miml.'' To her son, this is her language : " My dear son, if you only knew the uneasiness and sorrow of mind that yen have caused me, you would have written, if only two or three Words, to say 'lam well' or I am alive,' that would ease my mind so that I would not have thought you had forgotten her who taught you to lisp the name of mother. You have anxious minds, and loving hearts at home." That reamer) may have no possible excuse for not writing home while in port, we would hereby notify all seamen visiting the port of Honolulu, that if they will call at the Depository of the Sailor's Home, they will there be furnished with pen, ink, paper and envelopes, gratis. They will find the Reading Room a convenient place to write. Henceforth we hope no anxious mother will be compelled to ask her roving son if he has forgotten her who taught him to lisp the name of mother ! ' A Hint. We see reported unusually large numbers of native passengers on board schooners returning from the windward islands. Report says they are visiting Honolulu and Lahaina to spend the shipping season. It is not to be supposed that all come for bad purposes, or that all come for good purposes. We do hope that our authorities and " City Fathers" will keep a sharp lookout for the daughters of Hawaii, who are resorting to our seaoorts. Let effectual measures be taken to ■end them back if it be found that they are friendless, or are visiting the large towns for immoral purposes. Let the police visit certain localities. Let every house of ill fame be closed, and made tabu. If native women are found living with persons who are not their husbands, let the law take its course. Much may be done to purify the city.

The Dashaways have made a good beginning .to remove the stain of intemperance from our community, but there arc other sins of which missionary effort, asked the proprietor to the city needs to be purified.

News from the South Seas. ! ! i ; "The pubilcans and harlotl go into the kingdom of Cc/il More jou."—Mat, 81: 21. This declaration of our Savior has been often verified in the history of the preaching of the Gospel. The Gospel meets the case of the chief of sinners. Zaccheus, the publican, and Mary Magdelene, were welcome to partake of all the blessings of tin- Gospel. Strange as it may seem to the unreflecting mind, the most abandoned and profligate often find fewer obstacles in approaching the cross of Christ, than the moral, correct, respectable and those somewhat religious in their turn of mind. The one class see and feel their lost condition, and when the Gospel offer ismade known, they embrace it as the drowning man grasps the rope thrown for his rescue ; while the other, feeling secure and apprehending no present danger, put off, and defer the consideration of the subject to a more convenient season. We have been led to indulge in the foregoing reflections from reading the letter of a correspondent, now an undergraduate in Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. After furnishing some interesting statements, relating to the thorough scholarship and encouraging religious prospects of that oldest of American universities and " pet school" of the old Puritans, he remarks as follows, re- :— specting the late awakening " In Boston the effects of the great revival of 1858 are still apparent. The business men's prayer meetings, at 8 A. M., and noon daily, are well attended and full of interest. But the most wonderful work of the Spirit has been among the vilest and most degraded. One meeting will answer as a sample of the whole. Last evening I went with a friend to a prayer meeting in the northern part of the city. where it was held, was a few months ago, one of the lowest dance halls in the city—a resort for the vilest of both sexes. The Rev.

It contains an interesting account of a general festival throughout the island in honor of the French Emperor. A private correspondent writes as follows, under date of August 29th : " No public house was allowed to be open during the three days of the fete, between 1 in the afternoon and 8 in the morning, and a heavy fine was attached to the sale of anything to the natives during the hours allowed to be open. The chiefs too in their various districts, fearing that the revival of old customs might also revive old animosities, agreed with their people that any one known to be drunk should be tied up and kept so until the fete was over. The excellent regulations aided much the desires of the thoughtful and sober part of the population, in keeping that excellent order named, and which could hardly have been equaled in any part of the old countries where so many people were congregated together. Raiatea.—The missionary bark John Williams brought out from England the Rev. Geo. Piatt, who had been home on a visit. He has been a missionary in the South Seas for 42 years, yet, writes our correspondent, "he appears to have the stamina of several years labor in him yet." Rarotonga.—The Rev. Mr. Krause, a German, under the patronage of the London Missionary Society, who was formerly stationed at Huahine, is now to be located at Rarotonga. He visited Honolulu two or three years since. Loyalty Island.—Two new English missionaries have been sent out for the Loyalty Islands, where there has hitherto been only native missionaries preaching the Gospel. They will be stationed upon the island of Lefu. Rev. Mr. Creagh (son-in-law of the excellent missionary Buzzacot, formerly of Rarotonga,) occupies the island of More. �TH I FRIEND.

This first class clipper ship, Captain Johnson, left San Francisco, bound for China, with 175 Chinese passengers, on the 10th September, and when five days out was discovered to be on fire. Everything was done which the circumstances would permit for extinguishing the flames, but they spread so rapidly that in a few moments it was clearly manifest that the vessel must burn, and the passengers must betake themselves to their Most providentially, at this critical moment, the British ship Achilles, bound for Sydney, loaded with wheat, sailed within a short distance of the burning vessel. Arrangements were immediately made for the transfer of the passengers and treasure. In the language of C. C. Harris, Esq., a pasboats for safety. senger on board the Mastiff, the result is thus stated : "It is rare, if not indeed unprecedented, that in such a scene as that above sketched so few casualties occur. The loss of but one life, and that from a cause entirely independent of any one except himself, and the fact that no accident happened to the boats either in leaving the burning, or coming alongside the sailing ship, is quite remarkable." The passengers and crew of the Mastiff were all received on board the Achilles, and treated in the most hospitable and generous manner. Nearly all the treasure, amounting to over $SO,OOO, was also saved. Passengers and treasure were brought in safety to Honolulu. A Court of Admiralty awarded the ship Achilles $7,500 as salvage, and said vessel has already sailed for Sydney. It was surely the high privilege of the Captain and crew of that vessel to render acts of humanity that will be long remembered. We learn that the Chinese passengers rescued from the Mastiff have already engaged their passage for China per American ship Eliza d* Ella. Among the passengers on board the ill-fated H.

Addresses.—Most associations when desirous of a public address, look abroad for some talented speaker, but the Dashaways have no occasion to go out of their own order for s]>eakers. Since the publication of our last number, Messrs. Ingraham, McDulfee and Woodman have delivered addresses. The address of Capt. McDuffee was repeated by special request, and portions of it have been published in the Polynesian. We understand that another member of the Society will deliver an address next Saturday evening. We bespeak for Mr. Irwin a full house, for we are fully confident he will present something worthy of the attention of the public. We shall be glad to see a good representation of shipmasters, officers and seamen. The following are the officers of the Society: A. Potter, President. i\. K'Goi.s, Vice-President. G. W. Mills. Secretary. Capt. Oat, Treasurer. The Hesperian—For August, hasbeen received. This is a monthly publication, edited by Mrs. P. Day, of San Francisco. Each number contains the protrait of some pioneer on the Pacific coast. The number now lying upon our table we have read with much delight. We hope this periodical will be well sustained, for in a few years the amount of historical information gathered up by its industrious editor will be exceedingly valuable. The September number will contain the portrait of our fellow townsman, Captain John Paty, now commanding the Fra/tres Palmer. Captain Paty's portrait should be accompanied by an engraving of the old Don Quixotte, which he commanded for so many years upon the coast of California and trading between the coast and the islands. Through the kindness of Capt. Neil of the Lewis, we are most happy to acknowledge the reception of three packages of books in the languages of the natives of the South Seas. This supply embraces Bibles, Pilgrim's Progress, hymn books, &c,, fee,, for distribution among the natives of the South Seas who visit Honolulu on board American whale ships. This supply is very opportune, and was forwarded by the Key. George Gill of Rarotonga. We would also acknowledge a copy of " Gems from the Coral Islands," in two volumes. This work embraces a most complete account of the islands in the South Seas. We prize the book exceedingly. In our last we noticed No. 1 of the Pacific Expositor. Nos. 2 and 3 have been received. We are pleased with their contents. Their reading will lead to a careful perusal of the Bible and love for its truths. We are glad to learn that Dr. Scott finds that the Expositor takes well among the people of California. May it become a " permanent institution" on the Pacific coast. Some months ago ourattention was arrested by reading the short, pithy and sensible paragraphs going the rounds of the newspapers, and copied from Hall's Health Journal, published in New York. We have recently received The Fireside Monthly, edited by the same Dr. Hall. This is a fine publication, full of articles upon such subjects as we cannot know too much about. It contains many useful hints about every-day matters; and if a young man or woman should read its pages from month to month, they will learn what becomes a sensible gentlemen or well-bred lady.

[Communicated.] Mr. Editor :—" Heretics " .-says in the July number of the Friend, that " the Greek is a heretical language at Rome." " Cathol- icus" inquires, "Can he prove that the Greek is a heretical language at Koine ?" Probably " Heretics" was thinking at the time of the statement of Sismondi, Historic dcs Fraiicais, XVI: " A new language, said a monk from the pulpit, has been discovered, which is called the Greek. It must be carefully avoided. This language is the mother of all heresies. I see in the hands of many a book written in that tongue; it is called the New Testament. It is a book full of briars and vipers. As for the Hebrew, those who learn it immediately become Jews." This, we have reason to believe, was the sentiment of the fifteenth century at Rome. In the commencement of the sixteenth century, when the Vulgate was placed between the Hebrew text and the Greek text in the famous Bible of Alcala, Cardinal Ximenes said that it was Christ betwixt the two thieves. I have nothing to say as to the Cardinal's consistency ia permitting the Hebrew and the Greek to appear in that famous polyglot when he regarded them as thieves (catrones); neither do I know with how much less favor he would regard a heretic than a thief; but I think that Heretics" was not far out of the way when he said that " the Greek is a heretical language at Rome."

Italian War Ended.—While the public were expecting to hear of new engagements in Italy between the allied armies and the Austrians, after the terrible battle of Solferino, news arrived that an armistice had been concluded between the two Emperors, which was soon followed by a " treaty of peace," signed at Villafranca, July 11. An Italian confederation is to be formed under the hot.o- Paris. The principal English journals censure the terms of peace, considering that the war has been waged to no practical purpose. Balloons in War.—In order to improve all advantages an expedient was adopted, which is not new indeed, but which appears now under quite dilfercnt circumstances. The brothers Goddard, of aeronautic repute, who came out some time ago provided with their best apparatus, made on a recent afternoon their first experiment at Castelnedolo. One of them made an ascent in a -mall bnlloon to explore the position of the enemy beyond the China. Having first mounted on the campanile to take the bearings, and make himself somewhat acquainted with the country, he entered his little skiff, and went up in the air with a regularity which, according to those who saw the ascent, showed he was master of his eccentric conveyance. He rose to a height of from 500 to 700 yards, stopped for a minute or so, and then descended again with as much regularity as he had shown in ascending. As you remember, under Napoleon I. attempts were made to acquire information of the enemy's position by these means; but, in the then state of aeronautic experience, not much could be made of these means. Now, aeronauts pretend to have succeeded in regulating the movements of their balloons with tolerableaccuracy, and certainly the many successful ascents seem proof of a certain proficiency.

Prom that narrative wo glean the following summary of facts, which we are confident will he read with interest by many of our readers The John Williams sailed on her first voyage from England in 1844. She has made nine voyages. She is tho largest missionary vessel in the Pacific—probably in the world ; and the work assigned her is greater, even beyond the excess of her tonnage, than that of almost any other vessel engaged in the same work. For, first, she starts from England,and every third or fourth year returns thither. On her outward voyage, she is generally quite lull of passengers, her own stores, supplies lor the missionaries and teachers, paper and other printing and binding materials, and Bibles and other books. On her return voyage, she takes to England, for education, between twenty and thirty chiidren of the missionaries, with perhaps two or three missionaries and their wives, whom sickness, the care of tho children on the voyage, and other reasons, compel to proceed homo. She also conveys many hundred pounds value, in cash or island produce, the proceeds of the sales of books, and voluntary contributions in aid of the Society's funds. Secondly, on entering the Pacific, the John Williams calls at some colonial ports, particularly Sydney, where she prepares for her cruise among the islands, and takes on board any goods the missionaries may have ordered from that market. That port then becomes the center of her movements, and before again leaving the Pacific for Europe, she returns there for repairs, recruits, and supplies for the missions, either once or twice, according as her absence form England is for three or four years. Thirdly, her main circuit in the Pacific, which extends from Sydney to Tahiti, is very considerable. And fourthly, her deviations from the regular line of her circuit, in conveying and visiting our missionories and teachers are very : i, OCTOBER, 1859. eral of them three times. Seven islands not actually visited by her, receive large benefits from her. The aggregate population of these forty-four islands is about 100,000, in which total 20,000 heathen are included. Twenty. thn i- missionaries labor in those islands, the extreme stations occupied by them being 3,000 miles apart. Forty Karotongan and Suvnoan missionary teachers are stationed in what are to them foreign lands, .">()() miles, and some of them more than "000 miles, from their homes, Must nf those missionaries and teachers have wives and children, The salety, health, comfort and usefulness of all those parties is intimately dependent on the John Williams. Those laborers are aided by inure than 300 li'uehers, who are regularly appointed to the caro of villages or districts in their native islands nr groups. One result of the operations of these various laborers is the formation of churches, in which .-in- gathered an aggregate of about 7000 members. One glory of the Jo/tn Williams is, that she knows no sectional distinctions in the great work in which she is employed, Aid as far as possible all who "love outLord Jesus Christ in sincerity" in their efforts to diffuse the Gospel, is her motto, Her missionaries belong to various denominations, and four ofthe above number are not connected with the London Missionary Society. Eight other islands were formerly visited by the John Williams or the Camden, or by missionary agents sustained by those vessels; on two nl which converts were made, and the light of truth still shines. It should be remembered, that the visits of the John 117/- : I'm/us are not mere calls or explorations wherever she touches she leaves some substantial benefit, in the form of teachers or missionaries, supplies for the support of such agents, or books or other materials adapted to enlighten the people and to promote tho efficiency of the mission. At every place her boats are lowered, and during'each year she easts anchor from fifteen to twenty times. The vigilance and care of her captain and officers, and the attention and tabor of her cn-w, are in constant requisition. Intercourse with tribes so various, many of them degraded and cruel, though possessing features of interest, calls lor much tact and prudence on the part ol those on board) tests their powers of forbearance, and sometimes exposes them to dangers. Many prayers ascend to God from England, the Australian Colonies, and the islands, for the safety of the vessel and all on hoard of her, as well as for the success of her mission; and the fact that, though for fourteen years she has been employed generally in thn ailing her way among the islands of the Pacific, and though she has been in great danger ol total wreck, and several times last aground, no serious injury has been sustained by her, or by any on board, may properly be regarded as an answer to those prayers, and as a remarkable display of the care exercised over her by Divine Providence. : A OusVaXJIBU Plavkk.—Tho following paragraph, copied from mi eastern paper, will be interesting to Captain Silva was nn old ninny of our readers. whafeman, well kaown In this part of Hie world.— : He lelt Honolulu Inst fill mi n liuiaeaeid cruise 'I'lie shin Atlantic which ha* been fating at Hew Bedford since lur arrival on the attth .lime, tor a pretended whaling voyage, lot which has been buspetted of not being exactly in that line of Hitinrtfj wuson Thundav laet taken in ehargi by United States officers, upon iiiliii-iiiiitioii lodged in Huston, by parties residing in New York. The Atlantic, which Ion! been in the stream lor several days, finishing lending and taking in water, cleared for the Indian Ocean, was towed to the Lower harbor and was to proceed to sea that morning, having waited, as it has been teen, for tome passenger! who were bound to l-'aynl, where the ship was to touch. Ker officers and crew were nil on board* The Atlantic is a snip of G.l.i tons, was built in 1886,and is owned by hcrcouiiiiuiidcr, t'apt. Francis ,1. Bilva, a Portuguese, but a naturalized citizen of the United States, baring purchased her of Capt, .1. B. <'. Maciet, master and owner of the ship Comoro, brougbt to this port from Huston, and now titling lur a whaling voyage, Tin- Atlantic was formerly a whaler from New London, but Ims lately been engaged in tbe nierobaat service out of New York. Oapt Bilva was formerly master of ship Oov. Troup, of New Bedford. The matter remains in " abeyance* From the N. I>. Stand trd we ham that the Allontir waesupposed to have been purchased, together with the ship Comoro, in behalf of a Havana firm, I'er the slave trade. She was to be discharged immediately, in order that she might be searched. The FieldBT.-wtoaAhgrlanepr correspondent, writing from Brescia on 24th June, reports a fact which has not hitherto transpired, concerning the Beientifio appliance of electricity to war purposes. It would appeal that tho remarkable precision and unity of the French evolutions were accomplished by a quite novel sort of flying aide-de-camp. From each corps, once in a position, a horseman rode oil' to the next division, unrolling on his rapid course, a light wire, which no time was lost in adapting to a Geld apparatus ; and the process was repeated all alone; the French line of twulvo miles. Hence ilie movement of the whole army waa known and regulated like clock-work, " from dawn to dewy eve." on that decisive day. Tills arrangement had been planned in I'aris, and a supply of gutta perclia-coverod metal thread forwarded with secrecy and dispatch. It haß done its work, and the patent may now bo disclosed. Portable galvanism bents portable gas. It was already known to both armies that a special telegraphic corps operated in the rear of the Allies, and laid wire as fast as an advance was nude. M. Lair is the chief engineer, and the first Frenchman who entered Novara, while the Auttrians were scarce yet out of it, was IM. Uantbier, of that staff, who set up his box and telegraphed the details of the retreating corps at the moment they were outside the gates. Lonato, Montechiaro and Castiglione were in instant communication with Brescia and Milan when evacuated by the foe on 23d Jam. Naval.—Honolulu has been, this year, an unusually long time without a man-of-war in port. Now, however, the charm is broken, and as tho busy sousou ha* commenced, we may expect, tieforo long, to see the flags of several war vessels flying in our harbor. Recently His French Imperial Majesty's corvette Coin-luittinv arrived, nuil a salute of twentyone cannon, given and returned, reminded the Honolulu people of old times. The Constanline carries twenty-two guns, and was last from Punta Arenas. The following is a list of her officers M M. HogaeTda atajoanaaa, Oapitatnsdi Valss., Com't.

A Sailor's Mother in an Insane Retreat. A few days since a sailor applied to us to learn something about a brother wlio had wanderedaway and been discharged from a whale ship at these islands. Forgetful of his duty to friends, this brother had neglected to write home, and such was his mother's distress that she had become insane, and was now the inmate of an insane hospital. Should this fact come to the young man's knowledge, we do not envy him his reflections—his own mother in an insane hospital because he would not keep her informed respecting his wanderings. It is our wish that every sailor and wanderer cruising in the Pacific, or scattered over the islands of Polynesia, would attentively reflect upon these statements. Sailors visiting Honolulu are utterly without excuse, if they neglect to write. At the Home, pen, ink and paper are furnished gratuitously. Sailors should write, if only a few words, to say "I am alive and well," or " I am alive and expect to return." In the last number of the Friewl we published a few lines from the letter of a mother to her absent son, and entreated him, if alive, to make himself known. To our surprise, he arrived in a late ship. Now is the time to write, seamen, and we hope you will not fail to improve it. Do not neglect to write because you have made a poor voyage and are unable to go home with a " full pocket." The remarks which we now address to seamen are equally applicable to all classes of persons who neglect to keep their friends informed respecting their " whereabouts."

After sighting land we were some ten days in reaching Hakodadi, owing to calms and light winds, but with most lovely weather. We found no current setting to the northward as generally reported, though we had excellent opportunities for observation. Over thirty whales were seen during our voyage slang ihe Japanese coast, several not one hundred yards from the vessel. On catering the Straits of Sangar we tell in with quite a fleet of junks, bound, like ourselves, for Hakodadi. On our right, at the entrance of Volcano bay, a mountain was feebly smoking, while to the S. W., the shore of Nippon was plainly seen. On clear days one can easily see across the straits at Hakodadi—being not more than fifteen or at sundown, or when twenty miles wide. The entrance to the hay of Hakodadi is about four miles wide, while the harbor cxt"uds some foe miles inland, and lor accessibility anil safety is one ol the finest in the world. Hakdo;; of HaKOOADI. —It was nightfall when we made the high promontory at the inner base of which is Hakodadi, so that it was after midnight when our anchor was let go amid hundreds of junks in the harbor. Early the next morning, 1 was awakened by the songs of the half naked Japanese boatmen, who were crossing the harbor in different directions. On going on deck, a novel and picturesque scene was spread out before me. About two hundred junks and three Russian war steamers were at anchor near by, a magnificent amphitheater of hills and mountains extending all around, while on the southern side of the bay, the town nestled amid groves of fir and cypress, on the opposite sido being fishing villages, and in the distance, a volcano. Returned Japanese.—About seven o'clock, the Custom House officers came on board, each man carrying two swords, and dressed very neatly, according to Japanese ideas. After dispatching all necessary business, our Captain informed the officials that he had brought as passenger, from San Francisco, Toro, a Japanese, who had been shipwrecked some years ago, in company with Joseph Hecko and others. All the way from San Francisco Toro had been in doubt as to his reception—whether a sort of lion, having traveled in foreign parts, or to lose his head for having left his native land. When ordered to enter the cabin, he trembled all over and prostrated himself before the officials, nor did he dare to rise until told to do so. After stating his case, he was taken ashore under charge of officers, and all his clothing, American presents, curiosities Sec., Sec, together with some six hundred dollars silver, were taken possession of by the Government. I saw him a day afterwards at the government office, when he entered the room on his .

I have often inquired after Torn—as we became well acquainted on board ship—but have never learned his (ate, A Japanese official IoM nit', however, that he had been sent south to his borne, a 'cording to request, and 1 think it probable, but ibesa officials are not truthful. I would state here, thai Joseph Hecko has arrived at Kanagnwa. and is employed by OUT Minister, Mr. Harris, in some capacity. City of Hakodaw.—On going ashore at Hakodadi, I was struck with the solidity of the sea wall, built of hewn stone, and arranged with special reference to receiving ami unloading cargo with lighters. Most of the largecommercial houses are situated on a street running parallel with the shore, and thus extend back to this wall—there being no street fronting the water. The streets of H. are generally narrow, without sidewalks, but clean, with open sewers on each side, where all the filth of the town is thrown. They seldom have fall enough to drain the water, find the consequence is, that the odor arising therefrom, especially in summer, is anything hut healthy oragreeable. Tin' principal Street is about two miles long, filled with fill sons ol shops—the owners, dwelling iii the rear, or over head. In fact Hakodadi is a town of shops, where are found, among other things, coarse thick cotton goods, crapes, silks, common earthen and china ware, lacquered bowls, cups, stands, boxes, chop sticks, cheap CUtlery, ready made clothing, sand lis of wood and rico straw, articles of worship, glass ware, paper hangings, copper ware, books, stationery, articles of vertu, &c., besides rice, wheat, barley, pulse, dried fish, sea-weed, tea, salt, sugar, saki, soy, charcoal, eegs, sweet potatoes, flour, preserved fruits, candies, cakes, tobacco, pipes, &c. I cannot stop, however, to describe the town, as it is well done, in the main,' in Commodore Perry's book. I have been in a great many Japanese houses, broken bread with the families—that is taken rice, tea, and cakes, and tried to see all I could. There is a general air of neatness hut nakedness in all nativo houses, for they have little or no furniture of any kind; and were it not for the neat mats, the paper hangings, and the little oratories for worship, the rooms would be quite empty. Few of the houses—generally built of pine—have yards or any out-of-door conveniences, the water-closets, &c, being at the front door, over the sewers, or nowhere in particular. Foreign Officials, and Rf.sidf.nts.—The Many new town is rapidly improving. houses are being built, especially in the suburbs. Of public improvements, the Governor's House, and Fort, and the Russian Consulate, embracing Residence, Office, Church, Hospitals, &c., sre the chief—all of which I should like to describe, but have not space—also the ship yard, where several schooners have been built, after American models. At the present time, there are not many residents in Hakodadi. Among them may be mentioned the Russian Embassy, consisting of Consul and wife, Physician and wife, Secretary, l'riest; American ComnteT* rial Agent, Mr. Rice; Capt. Fletcher and wife, Messrs Bates (Physician). Smith (Merchant), Stephenson and two or three others. Messrs. Fletcher and Smith are the only foreigners permanently located here in business. At the present time nearly all foreigners occupy either temple buildings, or temporary dwellings on sacred ground. The authorities are nnxious to locate foreigners out of town, but the Americans object, and justly. FoiiEitfN Trade.—ln regard to business operations here, I do not profess to be sufficiently acquainted, to give a just opinion. It will be a long time before Japanese will gal into the habit of using, or consuming foreign articles. The great mass of the people are very poor, and at present live on iwo or three cents per day ; besides, the country has ingenuity and resources enough to mniiufacture almost any thing brought here. Since the new Treaty went into effast on the 4lh oi July last, just one month ago, there has been greater freedom to foreigners in the way of trade, as foreign silver has been taken by weight in all the shops ; still the people are shy in all other respects, and 1 do not wonder. Already there have been so many displays ol depravity in the way of drunkenness, fights, and licentiousness, that foreign morals stand very low—but ol this by and by. During the present season some thirty live whalers have been in here, besides about twe' ty five other foreign vessels—Russians, Dutch and English-men-of-war, and American merchantmen. There are usually about two hundred junks in the harbor. Of course, the chief business done here by foreigners is in supplying the foreign shipping with provisions and in buying cargo. Persons here buying cargo, provisions, &c, complain of high prices, Japanese duplicity, slowness, and general vexation—but some of these things, it is hoped will be remedied in time. Unless somebody turns their attention to supplying the shipping with meat, vegetables, iVc, whalers declare that they will not return again—but they will. No Public Market.—Although Hakodadi contains over 6000 inhabitants there is no such thing as a public market, where perishable articles are sold ; not even a pound of meat any where to be found, it being against the religion of the country to kill animals. It is certainly surprising that a country so wonderfully rich in soil, climate, labor, &c, should ho so poor off for the necessaries of life. This is owing, of course, chiefly to the religion and habits of the people, the former prohibiting the taking of animal life, while fish, rice, sea-weed, and tea, constitute the leading articles of consumption, at least in the North. I find I am getting my letter longer than I anticipated, and must pass over many items, in order to get to my journey's end. It is impossible for a person unacquainted with the language of a people, and who has been but n few weeks among them, to judge foreign �TITE FRIEND.

I have often attended worship at these temples early in the morning and the afternoon. Sometimes discourses are delivered, at other times only prayers a»c offered, but the devotee never ieaves the temple without depositing a little money, as an offering, as there are boxes at the entrance. You enter the temple in your stocking feet, as no house in Japan is entered in any other way. At the gates or steps of the temple, a fvw beggars are congregated to ask alms. All the temples have extensive grounds adjoining, occupied by oratories, gardens, dwellings for the priests, and cemeteries. One will hardly ever enter temple grounds without seeing little children at play, or nursing those younger, always happy, always ringing, or crying out, you American or Russian ?" as you pass. I have sometimes thought that worshippers in the temples, as in christian lands, were not very devout. 1 have hardly ever entered a temple without attracting worshippers to my person, to examine my dress, hat, boots, &C. One day, 1 had been showing tho power of an opera glass in one of the stores to some men, and in the course of the day, visited a temple during worship. In a few minutes a couple of worshippers came to me, and by signs proposed to try the opera glass, which they had seen elsewhere, on a row of priests who were praying and pounding away on drums, to awaken the drowsy god. Besides brads, drums, bells, Stc, to assist in praying, 1 have seen the priests hold up their prayer books, and rapidly turn the leaves before the face of the dumb idol ; while in the grave yards, are seen iron wheels, or in other words, praying machines. Burials.—The dead arc generally burned, the ashes collected, and buried infant in the cemeteries. The corpse is prepared for burning, by being placed in a sitting posture, in a sort of cask, which is then headed up. The cask is then placed in a sedan, ami carried to some temple, where a temporary altar is erected, on which cakes of rice ami Hour, dishes with incense and candles, paper lotus leaves and flowers are placed, while behind, rests the sedan or bier ; and us the smoke ol incense ascends and the candles burn, the priests, sometimes a dozen in number, beat their bells and hurry through their prayers, the mourners and friends kneeling near in their richest attire, mostly white. After the service is over, the "body is hurried to the place of burning, men taking turns in carrying the bier, while the company hasten on as best they may. Having arrived at the place of burning, a priest offers a few prayers, the cask is placed on a few blocks of pine, others being piled around and over it with shavings, when the nearest relatives and friends, lighting the lotus-leaves and flowers, fire the funeral pile. When this act is performed, I have seen the same grief exhibited, as when, in other lands, the cold clods rattle on the coffin. During all this time, all present are audibly praying ; but as soon as the flame burns fresh, all leave the place, save the fireman. On one occasion I remained with him, and while he examined my clothing .and an old silk umbrella, I sat gazing at the strange scene before me. Not three rods away, were sleepjng nine American seamen beneath their humble.head-stones, on which " . were traced the kind epitaphs of shipmates, near by a heathen temple with its immens idol god and cemetery of gathered dust, while before me, another body was being reduced, "ashes to ashes, dust to dust." The wind was blowing fresh at the time, making the flame roar and lap around the body of the dead. Hoop after hoop snapped, when suddenly the heads of the cask gave way, and tin 1 corpse stretched itself on the burning pile. 1 called the old man's attention to the horrid sight; and while he hastened to throw around the blackened body the burning faggots, I hastened away. 1 should like to give you a sketch of the amusements ol the people, their theatrical entertainments, wire dancers and wrestlers; of my trips into the country, and Japanese agriculture, to the lehd and silver mines, of the schools, <Xcc, but I really have nut space, besides 1 wish to say Some* thing about the Amour river, ice, Passai.h i" Amoob River. —After spending nearly a month in Hakodadi, I left in the Mclita for Nicolaifsky, on the Kith of June. We were eight days getting to Do Castries' bay, where the Russians have a small settlement, and where the English came during the war. Here we remained live days, waiting lor a fair wind and char weather, and to get a pilot, as the navigation from Dc Castries lii Nicolaifsky II dangerous owing to banks, islands, currents and shilling of the sand, kc. Wiikck OF the Mki.ita.—The next morning aftei leaving Dc Castries the Melita struck a bank, and thumped severely, as the wind was fresh, and quite :•. sea running. After sounding in the small boat, in different directions, and finding, as was thought, deeper water, anchor was weighed, and sail made. After going some distance, the vessel struck again, fore and aft, and continued to thump, until she filled, in about fifteen feel of water. At the time she sank, we wero at anchor and waiting the return ol the mate, who was sounding in the small boat. It was the general impression on board, that the vessel bro!,r her back, as she had heavy castings m mid- ships. At any rate, we were compelled to take to the small boats, after gathering a few articles of clothing and provisions. By this time, the sea was running high. After sailing nearly two hours, we came in sight of B Russian steamer fit anchor, wailing for fair weather. I went on up to Nicolaifsky, about 75 miles, in a small boat, leaving Capt. P. and Air. Lang and family on board the steamer, which was engaged to visit the wreck when the wind should abate. A part of the cargo was eventually saved in a damaged condition, and taken to Nicolaifsky where it and the vessel were sold at public auction, for the liencfit of the underwriters. Visit Nicolaifsky.—The town of Nicolaifsky is situated some twenty-five miles from the mOUth of the A moor, and is being strongly fortilied, a thousand convicts having arrived there this .summer to enlarge a fort just below the town. The usual population is about 11000. Nicolaifsky is a town of convicts and soldiers, excepting ol course the higher classes. It is true, many of the inhabitants are nominally free. Nicolaifsky contains some seven foreign merchants, chiefly American ; but trade is being every year more restricted{by the Government, and overdone by. the merchants themselves. The town is growing, buUJL is. not to be the great Russian stronghold and commercial city of (he Pacific. Navigation of the Amoor.—Nicolaifsky is situated, it is true, on a noble river, but it is difcult ofnavigation, especially at its mouth, and ice-bound, two-thirds of the year. There arc some live Government or Company steamers running up the Amoor. At lirst, foreigners were permitted to trade, and run steamers up this river; but now, not. An American steamer, recently launched at Nicolaifsky, is to run under the Russian Bag, and the Captain,who is part owner, in order to command her, was compelled to become a Russian subject. KtiM not Wanted.—One of the most lucrative branches of trade in Nicolaifsky heretofore among foreigners, has been spiritous liquors, but a sort of Main law has ruined the business, for which all good citizens are thankful. On B recent occasion the Governor declared, II foreigners cannot bring any" thing else than liquor to Nicolaifsky, we it, don't want wdiy notbring articles o I food V Russian PaoGMSS.—Nicolaifsky must but slowly grow into importance for reasons already stated, besides, the Russians arc seeking some port farther south to fortify, and where their vessels can winter without encountering Siberian weather. Already the Russians have taken possession of territory on the Tartary coast opposite the straits of Saugar, and are slowly pushing their way to Corea, and thus planting the seeds of empire in reality, on the shores ol the Pacific. They have also taken possession ol Sagalien, the large island north of Yesso, claimed likewise by the Japanese, and are working the coal mines there. A lew word sninre about Nicolaifsky and the Amoor,and I will hasten backto Hakodadi. 1 would recommend no one to go to the Amoor, either for business, sight seeing, or pleasure. The (own is built of logs, ami situated on the northern bank of the river, on the margin ola pine forest that stretches away over the dark mountain. As you have already published a part of Mr. McCollins Report on the Amoor country, I will add nothing more, except to say that all Americans in Nicolaifsky consider said report much too flattering. By the way. Mr. Chase, of Nicolaifsky, isappointed Vice-Commercial Agent for the Amoor. Return to 11akoiiahi.—As I thought at one time, of making the trip across Siberia to Moscow, I called on the Governor in regard to it. He readily gave his permission, but said the journey was long, tiresome, expensive, and would be to me vexatious, not speaking Russian, SO I abandoned the idea, and after about two weeks stay in Siberia, took paasage in a Russian war steamer for Hakodadi. On our way down, we passed in sight of the wreck of the Melita, touched at Dc Castries and at the coal mines at Duey. These mines yield excellent bituminous coal, and are entered at the water's edge, while there is deep soundings near the shore. As there is no hay, the anchorage is not good except in pleasant weather. Steaming along the coast and near the straits of Saugar, 1 saw many large towns and the capital city, Matsmai, and counted in one fleet over one hundred junks, loaded with fish for the south. They presented a beautiful sight, though the flavor the wind bore to us from their cargoes was anything but agreeable. At night, owing to fogs aaid junks, we were compelled to �TII E FRIE N D anchor, mid these must ever be serious hin- drances to the safe navigation of the Japanese coast. In due time we arrived in the harbor of Hakodadi, where I am now waiting an opportunity to get to Jeddo, and from there to China. English men-of-war are in the bay of Jeddo, and to morrow some seven Russian war steamers leave here for the same is place. The Governor General of Siberia on board as Russian Commissioner to treat with the Japanese in regard to Sagalien,fee But I must end my letter, it is already too long. 1 have written hastily in order to senda by the first opportunity.

Collins. |>, S.—Most of this letter was written yesterday. An event has occurred to day which has suggested an item omitted, and which deserves notke. When the American Treaty went into effect, a Mexican dollar was worth 5260 cash, (iron or copper,) two American half dollars 5100, and a live franc about 500(1, according to date and wear. An itzbue was worth 1700c, and so on; and these silver itxbues were freely exchanged for any kind of foreign silver,' weight for weight. Well, everything was going along swimmingly, the native merchant getting acquainted with foreign coin, and the foreigners with Japanese coin, when to-day, without previous notice, itzbucs were refused for foreign silver, and bought in by Government, paying a Mexican dollar apiece. By order of Government all the old native coin is to-day called in ; and worth two hundred per cent, more than yesterday, at least where foreigners exchange it for the new coin. A new set of coin is issued today, which are to represent the value of foreign silver, in order to keep Japanese currency in the country, though at present we hardly know the" object. In Hakodadi, Americans refuse to exchange silver for these coins, and the excitement is great. All foreigners have to pay three times as much now for everything, than formerly. 1 write this in n great hurry. If possible, will correct it in another note. "Be sure your Sin will find you out."— Nl Mr.KKS xwii : S3. Ascension, March .'}, 1850. Dear Brother Damon :—Your paper for February has proved a '-friend" indeed; Capt. Swain of the Wavelet, furnished a copy to our little insulated families, still damp from the press. Many thanks to you and to Capt. Swain. Really these are strange times we have fallen upon,—news from the busy world almost weekly ! We shall soon begin to feel that we Micronosians, alter all, My are a part of the " big, round earth." I have not given you in a former letter, mailed a few days ago, nor can 1 in this, give much information about the numerous flock of your charge, for the c;ood reason that few have colled on "us of late. There has been but one whale ship in this harbor since last October—the Tybee, Capt. Freeman. Quite a fleet has been in the middle harbor. We have now in this port a Bremen ship with , NOVEI B E R, 185 9 Chinese passengers, bound home from the gold regions of Australia—nil rich. The swarms of celestials make quite stirring times among our handful of natives. You will all be deeply grieved to hear of the death ol our good brother and faithful associate, Kiiaikaula. He died on the Kith of January. You will get the particulars in other letters, sent soon after bis decease. Marvelous changes are taking place among us. Johnson, that " terror" of the Pacific Ocean, is dead. He fell, as lie caused others to fall, by the band of violence; literally, "he burst asunder in the midst, and fill his bowels gushed OUt!" It was a horrid murder. The natives who saw it, and those who came in after the deed was done, trembled and shrank hack, feeling that others are more savage than themselves. The murderer is John, the runaway cook of the Vineyard, a colored man, who claimed to he the brother of the one Johnson killed four yean ago. Some think his claim to r itionship was pretty well established by their likeness of face- and ways. Among foreigners the sentiment prevails that John killed Johnson in sell-defence. The two had been quarreling all the morning and evening previous to the deed. Natives are inclined to take Johnson's part. That Johnson ought to have been killed by somebody is certain—he was a murderer; but that John was under the necessity of killing him to save his own life is not so certain. His life was doubtless in danger, but he ought to have kept away from one with whom he bad constant broils. As government vessels have- too much love for such porfs as I lonolulu ever to visit these lone islands, there will probably be no investigation ol this case till the final judgment day, and BO there is no use for mc to love human governsay much about it. ments, but there is an Avenger of blood in whom 1 have much more confidence as the PunisheT of wickedness ill these wide seas, and he has said, " Be sure your sin will find you out." "He walketh on a snare," is said of the wicked, and our own observations in these Mas confirms this statement of the inspired poet. Every year we are learning of new illustrations of this truth. God is wonderfully clearing these insulated islands of the wretches who have been so long reveling among the poor, wasting natives. Johnson once had almost unbounded influence on this island ; be lost il, however, long before he lost his life. He made several attempts to leave the island, but God designed to cut his days and wickedness short, and so confined him here. Here be reveled, and lure he fell weltering in his own blood. True, other foreigners have died from our midst during the past season; many more have left, and others are trying to leave, so that this class is last disappearing. There have been wars find rumors of wars on the north side of the island, and some of our stoutest, most promising natives have been killed. Several about here have committed suicide ; not a natural death, I remember of, in all these ports for many months. Both natives and foreign residents have been very free from sickness. Should the Gospel take hold of this people, as we trust it will, we see no reason why this race may not long remain to people this island, 1 think there I I . 85 have been more births than natural deaths in this tribe the past year. My wife thanks you much for the valuable magazine you sent, and joins me in sending much love to you and yours. We are all well and happy in our home and work. Your brother, affectionately, A. A.

The Fire in New Bedford.—As much as live hundred barrels of oil have been scooped up from the water since the fire. The curieus question of ownership of this precarious property has been raised, and of the amount of salvage to be allowed. Messrs. Cornelius Ilowland and James B. Wood, were requested to act as arbitrators, many of the salvors agreeing to abide by their decision. After consultation they agreed as follows : We, the undersigned, having been chosen referees to decide what salvage shall be allowed on oil scooped up from the river, docks, and streets of the city, have accorded that such persons saving this oil are entitled to three-quarters of the oil saved by them. Cornelius Howland, James B. Wood. The salvors have generally agreed to these favorable terms, and they will probably all come into the arrangement. �THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1859. 86 P ADVERTISEMENTS.

One of these natives reported himself as brother-in-law or near relative of a high chief, or "nanakin" of the tribe. This man died Oct. 10th, just before the ship arrived in this port.

Years come and go with so few changes in this region of perpetual summer, that we sometimes wish we might experience a cold winter and other changes of the seasons, if for no other reason hut that we might have more mile-posts on the journey of life. The fall and spring return of whale ships are our principal events to mark the revolution of the seasons. With this number we close the XVlth volume of the Friend. During this and former years we have received many cheering words of encouragement, that our little monthly was a welcome visitor on ship and shore. Without proposing any changes, we expect to commence a new volume on the Ist of January, 1860. We could indulge in a strain of moral reflections, but .as practice is better than preaching, says Mr. world-wise man, we hope our subscribers, who have enjoyed the reading of our paper during the last twelve months, will punctually pay their bills when presented, so that we shall be able to square accounts with the printer. Our motto is, " Owe no man anything, but to love one another.'I' As the Chaplain is compelled, from ity, to re-shingle the Bethel, paint and other repairs, he would most thankfully wlcdge sundry donations, and hopes donors will feel inclined to make conons for the same purpose.

From this could wish his prejudices were. .*«* N The it appeared that the Boarding School for ten or more pupils, under Miss Ogdcn, was now in operation, but in order that it should be carried forward successfully, efficient ami well organised measures should be concerted. The following gentlemen took part in the discussion of the subject under consideration, viz.: Messrs. Robertson, Bates, Corwin and Fuller. The remarks were animated and well-timed, for they resulted in calling for a subscription, amounting to the respectable sum of S7lO. A committee ofladies mid gentlemen was appointed to solicit subscriptions among the people of Honolulu. The feeling manil in the meetingwns highly encouraging. Some persons who did not make speeches, were evidently wrought upon, and testified their interest by generous subscriptions. We hope at some future time to be able to report the organization of a society and steady progress in the good cause. We expressed our views upon this subject in the June number of the Friend, 1857. Our opinions have not changed. The subject is 'one of immense importance, and although attended with difficulties and discouragements, should not longer be pushed aside, while atLahainaluna, llilo and Waiole, schools are sustained for the education of boys of the Hawaiian nation. We could add much more upon the subject. P. S.—Since the above paragraphs were written, we hear that the Ladies soliciting subscriptions have obtained $1000, making the total amount to over $1,700. Pacific Expositor, of San Francisco, Report, indulges in the above specimen of pleasantry. We appreciate the Doctor's kindly expressions. When a patient is directed to take an exceedingly bitter dose oilopathicoUy prescribed, a few pleasant words from the Physician will partially enable the sick patient to overcome the nausea. We have tried to take the dose, nnd thought, for once, that it was down, it was so nicely sweetened and sugared over with classical scraps and poetical extracts, but, like the good people of California and the Atlantic States, OUT system rejects it in toto. As the editorial Doctor seems inclined to refer to his opinions under a medicinal figure, we would state frankly, that when he advocates in the Wedge of Cob!, (Haul Judge, or Pacific Expositor, the Balm of G dead, as was originally prescribed by the Great Physician, then we shall do everything possible in our practice to promote the sale and introduction of his medicines. But when the Doctor would dose patients homeopathically or allopathically with such a compound as found in the " Bible and Politics," we feel bound to warn the public. We regard it as a species of quack medicine, of a most injurious description. It contains an ingredient of those "dead Hies,"' referred to in Ecclesiastcs, 10th chapter and Ist verse, " So doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor."

Honolulu, Nov. 17th, 1529. The Report of the Executive Committee was read by tho Chairman, the Rev. S. C. Damon, from which it appeared that the House was still holding on its useful career, under the efficient management of Airs. Thrum. Since the home was opened in September, 1866, over twelve hundred boarders have there found a home and quiet resting place. The report dwelt upon the importance of the Reading Room and Depository, as important auxiliaries in promoting the usefulness of the institution. Multitudes of seamen, not discharged, and not boarding there, visit the Home, to write letters and obtain reading matter. Some interesting remarks were made by the Rev. Eli Corwin, who spoke of the character of seamen, and the necessity of providing good boarding houses for them on shore. He closed with some practical remarks to the business and commercial men of Honolulu, in relation to their duty, and we only regret more of them were not thero to hear what ho said. A collection of fifty dollars was taken up, and the following gentlemen elected, as Trustees fur the next three years, agreeable to the provisions of the Constitution and Charter. G. P. Junn, M. D.

This discourse is founded upon the text, Neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor," Leviticus, xix. 16: and opens with this paragraph : " One week ago to-day, twenty thousand of our peo- ple stood ariaind an open grave. There, with tearful eyes, they laid, wrapped in a bloody shroud, the remains of California's most illustrious son, who, in the lull strength i rearly manhixfll, with laurels greea upon his brow, and with thousands of friendly voices sheering him On in his successful struggle for fume aiid place, perished by violence; not blasted by the red bolts of heaven, not smitten down by the pestilence, not crushed by the earthquake's throes, not stricken with death amid the shock of battle, but pierced by the gentlemanly missile of private malice on the so-called " *'-'d of honor." nirse breathes an earnest ranee against the bloody, uman practice of one man ■;iuse he felt his honor inDeception Highly Prized. A certain writer has remarked that there is nothing so gratify ing.and for which people will more readily pay their money, than for being deceived.

Mr. Carter's Address the other evening was well-written, well-delivered and well-received. He showed clearly the benefits of associated effort,and vindicated the principle of voluntary associations, closing with appropriate remarks to the members of the Society. If the Dashaways had done no other good than call forth talent " hid under a bushel," their organization has proved one of the most useful ever formed in Honolulu. When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not the decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality. �93 TIIE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1859. A prominent merchant in town said I have been engaged for six years in business in this city, and you never have, in a single instance, applied to me for money to carry forward those objects in which you are engaged —the Friend, Bethel,' Home,' " &c. Other merchants may say the same. However much we have plead for funds through the columns of our paper, it is very seldom that we ask any person directly for pecuniary aid for any enterprise. We have an instinctive reluctance when called to solicit money from individuals. Much as men may think us inclined to plead for money to aid benevolent enterprises, we desire all donations to be freewill offerings, rather than solicited contributions. We know the latter is not always possible, but when it can be carried out, it is much the most satisfactory and agreeable. to us on a recent occasion, ' " ' We would acknowledge a neatly written letter from some natives of the Hervey Islands, and written,.in iheir,language; but a]iUU<r Jfria unaccompanied by a translation'f Mr. Royle thus writes us " The male teachers of our schools have written you a fraternal letter. They compose the most intelligent members of our church—are really devoted and efficient in their work, as well as earnest and thoughtful men. I have looked over their letter, nnd can attest the truthfulness and accuracy of their facts anil their figures." Now, good Brother Royle, why did you not send us a translation ? We possess no gift of tongues. Most cordially do wo reciprocate the fraternalfeeling expressed in their epistle so far as we are able to understand its meaning. : Death Waterman.—In our last we alluded to his death, but could not state particulars. We have since met Capt. Crosby, who was 2d mate of the J. D. Thompson, who informs us that Capt. Waterman died August Bth while the vessel lay at anchor in Elbow Island passage, Ochotsk Sea, South-West Bay. He had been complaining of illness about two months, but was confined to his cot about two days. His disease was inflammation of the bowels.

Mr. Webster wrote, after considerable provocation, to the editor of a newspaper, which referred to his private alluirs, and especially to his not paying his debts. He said substantially " It is true that I have not always paid my debts punctually, and that I owe money. One cause of this is, that I have not pressed those who owe me for payment. As an instance of this, I inclose your father's note, made to me thirty years ago, for money lent him to educate his boys."

If so, where ? : Hawaiian Sine Bread.—We are glad to see that the Flour Comptny is furnishing the market with an excellent article at reasonable rates. This is as it should be.

Thk Fate of Sir John Franklin.—The Arctic steamer Fox had returned with interesting records nnd relics of the Franklin Expedition, from which it appears that Franklin died in '47, and the ship was abandoned in '48. The Arctic Expedition found at Point William a record dated April 28, 1848, signed by Captains Crenier and Fitzjames, saying the J'.nbits and Terror were abandoned three days previously in ice, nnd that 105 survivors were proceeding to Great Fish River. Sir John Franklin had died June 11, of the previous year, (the year 1847) and that the total deaths to date were 9 oliicers and 15 men. Many interesting relics were found on the western shore of King William's Island ; others were obtained from Esquimaux, who stated that after the abandonment of the ships, one wns crushed by ice and the other forced ashore. Several skeletons of Franklin's men, quantities of clothing, and a duplicate record up to the abandonment of the ship were discovered. " Peircc " " Williams, G.

Hopeful for Lombardy.—Since the war, decrees have been published in Lombardy abolishing the old Austrian laws which made a difference between the inhabitants because of their religious opinions, declaring that all citizens, whatever the religion they profess, are equal lefore the law; and granting liberty of worship, reading and printing, and the same freedom of conscience and of religious teaching which have for many years prevailed in I'icdmont.

Most cordially we wish all our readers, on ship and shore, a happy New Year. May its beginning, progress and termination be alike happy. Not only may you he happy in the ordinary meaning of that term, but in its best and highest sense may you be happy. In order that you attain true and permanent happiness, study its nature, and ascertain upon what it is founded. True happiness is the result of enjoying God's favor and blessing. "Happy is that people," declares the Psalmist, " whose God is Jehovah." As in years past, so during the year to come, our aim will be to furnish our readers with a monthly sheet, useful and entertaining. Our principles are too well known to need an announcement in a new prospectus. This however will be our aim, to endeavor to lead or persuade our fellow men, and especially seamen, to live strictly in accordance with those physical, social, moral and religious laws which God has ordained for our well being and happiness. It is our duty to be temperate, truthful, honest, thoughtful, kind, neighborly, as well as to have our minds deeply imbued with that fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. Would you know, reader, how to live and act? Read Christ's sermon upon the Mount, and follow his example. Genius makes many enemies, but it sure friends—friends who forgive who endure long, who exact little. lS(iO. We learn that Judge Pratt contemplates visiting the United States during the coming spring and summer on account of his health. The friends of the Judge deeply sympathise with him that he should In? so much of a suf- \m J?trifs, M. 17. those in power would most anxiously seek to check the fearful decrease, and pride themse' -<*s upon their parental solicitude in behalf of the wasting children of Hawaii nei. Judging from the tenor of several leading articles of late appearing in the government organ, there is a measure to be brought forward at the next Legislature to legalize the manufacture of distilled spirits and its sale among the natives. The Polynesian has given thi' most unmistakable evidence where those stand who control that sheet. It remains to be seen where the true friends of the Hawaiian race and the public weal will take their stand. We are not ignorant that, under the plea of creating capital, molasses should be converted into rum ; neither are we blind to the specious argument that the aborigines are now denied equal rights with foreigners, because, forsooth, they are not allowed to purchase liquors at a dram shop. We hope those elected to represent the people will not he hoodwinked by such sophistry, and misled by such reasoning. Writers in the Polynesian may argue to the contrary as much as they see fit, but the King knows, and his people know, and foreigners know, that if this measure is carried out, the result will be most disastrous to the native population. The are going, but in the name of humanity do not let us drive them over the pali of intemperance, as Kainehameha I. did his enemies when he conquered Oahu. ferer, and us having failed to have recovered his health, the primary oliject of his having come to this distant part of the world. In his Consular career he has sustained that reputation which he had acquired upon the Bench. The official duties of a United States Consul, in a port like Honolulu, are often very onerous and perplexing, requiring an intuitive perception of a knotty and delicate point whih is not unfrequently presented. Judge Pratt's decisions have been prompt and correct, and such as did not need revision. The case of the French sailor in the fall of '58, might be cited as an example. At times a little touch of the Jacksonian way of doing business is the best. It saves a world of trouble and official correspondence. Judge Pratt's manner ol dispatching business has not unfrequently reminded us of the way " Old Hickory" was accustomed to decide matters. Every one knowing the character of seamen is aware of the fact that, upon legal questions, shipmasters and sailors generally take opposite sides, yet we have known both classes to come from the Consul's office satisfied with his decisions. The captain has been heard to say, " the Consul is our man," and Jack has found him his man.

The Cordelia was a good ship ; but at one time we feared that she was on her last voyage. We were but a few days out from the harbor, when a severe storm of five days' continuance overtook us. I must tell you of an act performed by a sailorboy, at the height of the storm. He was literally a boy, and far better fitted for thumbing a spelling book than furling a sail in a storm. The ship was rolling fearfully, some of the rigging got entangled at the main-mast head, and it was necessary that some one should go up and put it right. It was a perilous job. I was standing near the mate, and heard him order that boy to do it; he lifted his cap, and glanced at the swinging mast, the boiling seas, and at the steady, determined countenance of the mate. He hesitated in silence a moment; then, rushing across the deck, he pitched into the forecastle; perhaps he was gone two minutes, when he returned, laid his hand upon the ratlines, and went up with a will. My eyes followed him till my head was dizzy, when I turned and remonstrated with the mate for sending tho boy aloft, " He will not come down alive, and why do you send him?" "I did it," replied the mate, "to save life : we've sometimes lost men overboard, but never a boy : sec how he holds, like a squirrel; he is more careful; he'll come down safe, I hope." Again I looked till tears dimmed my eyes, and I was compelled to turn away, expecting every moment to catch a glimpse of his last fall. In about fifteen or twenty minutes he came down, and walked aft with a smile on his countenance. In the course of the day I took occasion to speak to him, and asked him why he hesitated when ordered aloft. "1 went, sir," said the boy, "to pray." "Do you pray ?" Yes, sir: I thought that I might not come "down alive, and I went to commit my soul to God." "Where did you learn to pray?" "At home ; my mother wanted me to go to the Sunday school, and my teacher urged me to pray to God to keep me, and so 1 do." was that you had in your pocket ?" " What My Testament, which my teacher gave me ; I thought if I did perish, I would have the Word of God close to my heart."— Child. Fr. " A Learned Shipmaster. Dr. Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass., in a work entitled, Hints addressed lo Young Men, published in 1544, gives the following sketch of an American shipmaster's acquisitions in the languages, and of his ability to defend the Christian religion. Such an example should arouse those to action who waste the leisure hours of long voyages in idle and listless sloth and gossip. No class of laboring men enjoy more leisure time for general reading than seamen, while a shipmaster is peculiarly favored with an opportunity for reading and study. Information, study, reading and observation are requisite to enable the shipmaster to take that stand which he ought to occupy. The more he knows, the better will JANUARY, 1860. he be fitted for his responsible duties. Shipowners do not supply their vessels as they should with books of travels, voyages, science and general literature. If the money, even now, paid to supply ships with rum, was spent for books, a most happy result would follow. Dr. Todd remarks as follows : " There is a sea-captain raised in New England, who sails from New York. He has been to sea constantly since he was ten years old. He is not only acquainted with the popular languages of Europe, French, Spanish, German, Danish and Dutch, with some other minor dialects, but is also a scholar in Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Last winter this ' inhabitant of the mountain billow' held a public debate, four dliferent evenings in the city of Kotterdam, in the French and German languages, with a learned (Jew) Professor of Languages on the Divinity of the New Testament and Jesus Christ the Messiah of God ' the end of the law for righteousness to all that believe.' The Old Testament was read in its original ianguage; the New Testament was read in Greek; while the fidelity of the Protestant interpretation was shewn from the Prophecies in six different languages. The Professor acknowledged to the American Captains, 'Your countryman, the Captain, is better acquainted with the Old Testament than any man lever conversed with; and his knowledge of the Books of Moses, with the customs of our people, is scarcely equalled by any Jew in Kotterdam. Really, there are some things that he is better acquainted with, (having seen them practised on the coast of Africa by the Jews) which the laws of Holland, and indeed of all Christian Europe, and our sense of decency will not permit us to practice.' It was the report among the common Jews that 'the Captain was a Jew.' The Captain weekly attends, including English and the Synagogues, the worship of God in five different languages in this city. Ho says, I ' attend the Synagogue to hear their new German Keader, as an American or Englishman cannot read Hebrew with any probable degree of its original pronunciation.' He was asked what induced him to attempt an acquaintance with the Greek and Hebrew. He answered, 'when young, my mind was seriously impressed with the import and sublimity of the Christian religion; but my knowledge and delight in astronomy made me a skeptic in its reality and divinity, cantrary to all the internal evidence that forced itself on my soul, in conviction of sin, or joy of redemption. My mind was continually crowded by, il is impossible that God would take upon himself the likeness of human flesh to make an atonement for such a contemptible pebble as tlii-", the most inferior of all planets, (except the moon) when he is the adorable Creator of innumerable worlds of splendor, that excel in glory and magnitude our very sun ! I doubted all interpretations, and external evidence of every kind, I dared not venture upon. I was resolved to attempt the Greek. I surmounted its difficulties to my peace and satisfaction. Then I grappled Hebrew as for life and death, until I understood it sufficiently to removal of all my doubts, and establishment in the fullest confidence in the Divine Mission of Him who emphatically claims the appellation of Christ the Son of God, the Savior of the world." 3 THE FRIEND, POET'SCORNER.

Mistakes not Rectified. —I heard an incidentconnected with the history of the North Church, in your city, the facts of which are not, I think, generally known, and ft may prove interesting to yourreaders. It appears that towards the close ol the Revolution, the good people of North Church found it necessary to make some repairs. They sent on to Boston and purchased some nails, which in due course of time arrived, and upon opening the kegs, lo anil behold, one of them was found to contain Spanish dollars. "This was a go !" The Deacons assembled —held a consultation —and the result was, they wrote to Boston and informed the merchant who made the sale that there was an error in shipping the goods. The merchant, acting upon the principle of our banks at the present day, wrote back that he could rectify no mistakes —that the nails were bought and sold as they were. He bought them of a privateersman, and must let it stand as it was. The silver was melted up and made into a service of plate for the church, and it is in existence and use at the present day. The above was related to me by a gentleman, in whose family is a large goblet made from the same silver, and you may rest assured that what I have stated is a fact.—New Haven Register. Suicide of Prof. Ross at Halle.—The Vienna correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph says that Prof. Ross, the wellknown Hellenist and archaeologist, in a fit of mental depression, engendered by prolonged illness, committed suicide at Halle on the Bth ult. With all British scholars his name has been perfectly familiar for a long time past. His essays on the comparative geography of ancient and modern Greece have greatly contributed to the illustration of Hellenic history, while, in a number of learned dissertations on classical subjects, he not only evinced his profound acquaintance with compatriots of Plato and Xenophon, but in the rare sagacity and eloquence of his arguments, succeeded in exhibiting in his, own mental calibre the choicest qualities of the Athenian mind. �4 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, Iso THE FRIEND.

Thus it appears the young collegians are so eagertotry theirability in authorship,tbatthey issue a monthly. They see the battle of life approaching, and it well becomes them to try their weapons and buckle on their armor, in anticipation of the conflict. Among the editors of the Harvard Magazine, we notice the name of W. F. Snow, well known to many of our island readers. He was a pupil at Punahou, and like more of our youth who have studied there, reflects much credit upon the institution. He is now a member of die junior class. The leading article in the Magazine, upon education, is from the pen of the editor above mentioned. Our limits will merely allow us to copy the following eloquent paragraphs : Education also ibo'ild be such a development of the mind as will lead toactive effort. A man is not truly educated who has merely acquired a large amount of learning. He may bury himself in his library, and gain thereby a reputation for diligence and application, or he may flash out on society and be hailed as a brilliant genius ; but his diligence may be only in acquiring a mass of knowledge which shall lie forever useless, and bis brilliancy may be only the surface-glitter, where there is no depth. True education is a mighty power, by which vigorous thoughts are generated, new ideas disseminated, and one mind made the medium of influencing a multitude of others. The noblest life which an earnest man can lead is one of labor for the improvement and elevation of his fellows, It finds its pattern in the sublime life of Him who left the glory which he had with the Father before the world was, to visit for mercy and redemption the lost sons of men. It is for the education which will prepare him for such a life that the student should strive ; if he does not, it will be better for him and for mankind that he leave his books for the spade, and the recitation room for the field ; for in the halls of learning he is but usurping the place of some noble man. This view of education leads naturally to the consideration that, in the case of each individual, the plan of study and the system of instruction should be adopted with a view to his occupying, in the future, some definite position. We hold it to be a cardinal principle, in the organization of mankind, that each mdi vidual is created with a nature which especially adapts him for some particular pursuit in life. The workings of this special endowment are visible in very childhood. The young Newton carves sun-dials upon the walls of the manor-house at Woolsthorpe; Goethe spends in contemplation and romantic imaginings the hours which his companions devote to play. This predilection for particular studies" or employments, if encouraged and 0. we would acknowledge the receipt of yielded to, ripens into a strong ''evotion to them as the child advances towards man- the November number of the Hesperian nohood. In this peculiar constitution of the ticed in our October issue. It contains a young mind we find, as it were, the raw sketch of the lift; of Dr. Kobert Semple, well material from which the permanent character of the individual is to be wrought. What i* known in the earlier days of California. We necessary in the earlier years of life is, that the employment of the laculties should be directed toward the good and away from the evil ; that perversion of them should be checked, and every good use of them encouraged. It is at this period that the elementary branches should be learned, and. as it is called, a " good common-school education" obtained. When, however, the time arrives at which his study must take a wider range, the utmost care should be exercised that the course of instruction slir.il be such as will best further the growth of tie: student's mind in its natural direction. Especially is this neces«rj in the case of a contemplated college course. The duty of fixing upon some decided aim in study devolves, of course, upon the student himself. If he is old enough to enter college, he is old enough to have determined upon thee nploymcnt which shall be the business of bis life. Any one who enters and passes through college without some definite purpose, loses very much that would otherwise turn to his profit. And when the student lias once settled his plan of life, he should hold it as the grand central point toward which every effort that he makes should hasten him. Unforeseen circumstances may, it must be admitted, modify this plan, or entirely prevent its accomplishment ; but, other than these, no obstacles should be allowed to dishearten him, no weariness or fickleness to make him waver. " For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed." Tut: New Knuland Maoa/.ink or Trade. Industry ami The July, August and September numbers of this new and interesting monthly have been received. It abounds with figures and facts, showing that Yankees are busily engaged in every department of mechanical industry and trade. The monthly list of new patents granted to New England Inventors shows that the inventive genius of the people is wide awake. In glancing over a list of real-estate improvements in Boston, for 1859, amounting to $2,011,500, we were much gratified to notice that among costly stores and dwelling-houses, two school-houses were erected, costing respectively, 810,000 and $70,000. In Massachusetts, they raise men—the governor's and wood-sawyer's boys going 10 the same school.

A woman's love has achieved the triumph* A wife's undying affection has overcome all difficulties. The British government has expended millions in fitting out expeditions. Private enterprise, in England and America, nobly seconded governmental expenditure. When it would seem as if not another "hook w;is left to hang a hope upon," then Lady Franklin determined to make one more effort. She alone was resolved to "try again." Oihers might—the whole world might give up the search, but she would not. The world might call her foolish and mad, as hoping against hope. When the yacht Fox sailed, it was looked upon throughout the civilized world as utterly vain. The following brief sketch of the whole series of expeditions we copy from the New York Independent of Oct. 20th In 1545 Sir John Franklin sailed in command of the Erebus and Terror on his last expedition. On the 6th of July of that year it was seen for the last time by white men from a whale ship about the center of Baffin's Bay. He was to push on through Lancaster Sound and Barrow's Strait to Melville Sound, and thence westward as far as possible.

When told that some sermons have taken their authors a week, and even a month, to write them, they seem amazed ! They think a minister has but little to do who prepares only two sermons a week, and preaches them on Sunday ! And they have no sympathy with the minister who says, " 1 am not prepared," when called to preach on a sudden emergency. They know all about physical labor, but nothing about mental. They know something about raising a heavy weight, but they know nothing about the construction of an argument, or the refutation of a popular and plausible error, or the placing of a controverted truth in a light which convinces all. In fine, the multitude have no conception of mental labor ; and hence people are so reckless as to the squandering of the time of their minister ! There are men of peculiar mental habits who can write a sermon in a very short time, having previously well digested the matter , of it. Such a one is the Rev. Dr. one of the best and most popular preachers of the Church. But ordinarily to write one good sermon a week, and meet faithfully his other duties, fills up the time of a pastor ; to write two, if they are worth hearing or worthy of himself, fills it to an overflow. And yet there are those who are never satisfied unless they are frequently visited, and who consider the minister is wasting his time when not abroad among his neople.-iV. Y.

Micronesia. The arrival of the Morning Star brings late intelligence from all the mission stations in Micronesia. The return of the packet was hastened in consequence of the sickness of the wife of the Rev. Dr. Pierson, of Ebon. In several letters which have been received, the usefulness and value of the Morning Star are particularly mentioned. Writes the Rev. Mr. Roberts, under date of October 11 : to " Tho Morning Star is a great blessing be us, and far off be the day when she shall dispensed with, unless for some more substantial and commodious craft." From the Rev. Dr. Gulick's letter we copy as follows (written in view of his being transferred from Ascension to another part of the missionary field. He is now upon Ebon, at the station vacated by Dr. Pierson): " Our process of teaching has gone on as in former years. There are at least six native families in our tribe who keep up daily family worship night and morning, and who walk very consistently. Several of them have been prayers" for years ; one for four years, and "none less than two. * * * I may, I suppose, very consistently, with a satisfaction in the idea of going to a new field, express my grief in leaving my lambs at this interesting point of their course. It would be delightful to stay and witness the growth of the mustard-seed. The work will inevitably go backsome, perhaps a good deal, even in the hearts of these, my converts; though there are few I would have taken more pleasure in introducing here than Mr. Roberts; thismakes me less anxious that they should be admitted to the church before I leave.

This form of these nouns is not become a verb. All we know is the simple a little interesting, as it pertains closely to bath dialects. fast before us. : — TaMy!'} . * fe } «* ----.... ... ... ... .... " Numerals.—The numerals of each dialect possess some features so much alike, I will give them. They are in full : •■> It s a 4 Kiw*. —Ituvun lino Jiln Kinm-ii Lalliin Jilijlmi H.isape— An Aod Ari Kjil Apunrf Aliin 0 8 7 liljin-im-jawun Twnl-i-lh ik Twnth-iro-juwun Eb'* IV'Miv:—Kij Atn Awhl 10 111T,*,! bOI I'o.iai'i:—KimgMu Of these the second, third, fifth, eighth and tenth can all be referred to the same radices. We have ro and ri —Ebon and Ponape— which gives us r radical. We have also tho forms jil of both numbers, the same roots. The filth of each finds its root in Urn, the last syllable. The eighth has wal, and tho tenth ungol, Ebon, and ngaul, Ponape. I have presented these, as I have said, because thereis much which is evidently to be referred to the same roots. Perhaps at first sight the casual reader may not be struck with much unity—hut to him who is frequently using these numerals, both by themselves and in combination with others, the unity is striking, and so I doubt not it will appear to every reasonable philologist. But in regard to numerals, we havo more striking similarity in one set which pertains to the Ebon language. They are essentially the same as those above given of the Ponape dialect. The Ebon numbers which 1 will eive are not, I would remark, ordinarily used. They only come in play when the knots, into which a cocoanut leaf or pandanus may be tied, are counted—counted for the purpose of foretelling the future. The numbers are: S 3 5 8 12 4 7 Eboj Erth Erl Kjil Ap'Jilg Alhu Athu Wrra W-lib I'oNAPii— Art Ari Kjil Apunj Alim Aon hij Awnl 0 10 [net lii'-jungolth. Ebov I'oVAPt:—Atu KutuiiKaul. In looking over these numbers, we see a littlo difference, but mostly that occasioned by a transposition of some of the numbers. From one to five exclusive, all are essentially alike. By transposing the sixth of Ponape to the seventh of Ebon, the seventh of Ponape to the eighth of Ebon, the eighth of Ponape to the ninth of Ebon, and the ninth of Ponape to the sixth of Ebon, and all these numbers, with the tenths, could be referred to the same We regard these numerals of Ebon as an interesting fact. It seems to point to a purpose in the native mind, to hold fast those which are common to the two dialects in some form, though there be a sundering and isolation of the tribes. We know there is no inter-communication between these two tribes now to account for the adoption of, say the Ebon numbers from the Ponapians. Moreover, if the Ponapians use numbers, as they foretell the future, the numbers are few as compared to those given above. And again we think all possibility of borrowing is precluded, since these same numbers are common to all the Marshall islanders. We can only account for their existence in both languages then from the purpose of the native mind, as I have said, to hold fast to them in some form, though there be a wide separation from the mother. Let me speak of the mode of enumerating articles, as there is much which is common to them in both dialects, and interesting. When articles are numbered, as by one, two, three, Sec., up to ten, the order is as in Eng- �.

Suffer a remark upon the mode of counting on Ebon beyond fifty. It will be a little out of the course of my remarks, yet as it is singular, may interestyour readers, and perhaps furnish myself with a little information, whether the same form prevails anywhere else in Polynesia. Beyond fifty, and on to one hundred, there are no terms which can strictly be applied to the intermediate numbers. When fifty is spoken, then the next term is six. seven, eight, nine, ten, one hundred (usins; the Ebon terms). The cumber fifty and six, lor instance, is not in the native mind fifty-six, and fifty and seven is not fifty-seven, but the terms six, seven, eight, nine, ten, though the names of the ordinary numerals are reckoned each ten, and the five then added to the fifty gives one hundred. Example:—suppose we have counted on to fifty, the name is limungol—the native will say limungol, jiljinu, jiljin-im-juwon, twalithuk, twath-im-juwon, jungol, apuk, one hundred, or as I have said, fifty, six, seven, eight, nine, ten—one hundred. Hence there is no term for sixty-two, or eighty-five, or ninety-nine. I have just referred to this system, as I have said, wishing if any one can give information of a like system anywhere else in the Pacific Ocean, they would would publish it in your paper, or elsewhere, as may be convenient. The ordinals, as such, are wanting in both . L "''"'He• who will look over these two tablesand Kirn excludes, kij includes him.

I would remnrk, I have made no remarks upon the cases of the daal. All that has been said of tho cases of the other persons will in fact apply to the cases of it. Upon the verb I would remnrk, in both dialects there is no inflection or termination to designate its tense, number or person. To ascertain these, other considerations must be depended upon. There are many features of the verb to the student of these dialects deeply interesting. I will, ns with the pronouns, first give paradigms of the verb of each dialect, and then offer my remarks :MOODS. DOR. Inilicntive. Suitjunetiv V(n Infinitive.

An action will be expressed, but who did it, or how many, cannot be ascertained by anything attached to the verb. But the tense or the time of the action is not quite so indefinite. In the Ponape verb however, there is no special signs to mark the present and imperfect tense. Either of these may be indicated by the simple form, with or without its directives. Usually, however, it is done by some adverb of time, as ap, just now—ma\, before, &c. In the Ebon verb, tenses are distinctly marked as we have given. Tho sign for the paesent tense is ja, and the imperfect kar. These particles are usually used and always precede the verb. It is not unfrequently the case that the simple form of the verb is given, and then the time must be distinguished by some explanatory phrase. But usually these timeparticles are attached to the verb, and are very definite. The perfect tense of the Ebon verb has for its sign ar; it is always used; it precedes the verb. This tense of the Ponape verb is characterized by the particle er, or erear, from which er is supposed to be contracted. This particle, the contracted form er, follows tha verb, while erear often precedes it Some may choose to discard the perfect tense of the Ponape verb, and call it, or those forms to which er is attached, emphatic form of the imperfect. But this tense formed with er stands so closely related in idea to the perfect of the Ebon verb, I have ventured to give both, as if one was the equivalent of the other. A few remarks are needed upon tiie moods, upon which I should have remarked before I did upon the tenses. The indicative mood is to be learned from the tenor of the discourse. The subjunctive in Ebon is indicated by the particle elonge, if. In the Ponape, by me. In Ebon, the imj er.itivc has no particle to indicate it. In Ponape the particle en or un is thought to designate this mood. The infinitive of both languages is wanting in anything to mark it. It might be learned from the position of the verb in the sentence. It may be questioned whether the potential really belongs to either language. The auxiliaries, Un, can, Ponape, and maronge, can, Ebon, may be referred to the indicative. However, both dialects possess these auxiliaries, and it is a matter of mere choice where they are placed. Of the participle* only the present exists, and there is nothing to distinguish it. Its form is the simple form of the verb. The hiphhil, or causative form of the verb in both dialects, is a very interesting fact. v It is another marked feature >■' '- " two together, and t„„ "ajlta them both to pn|,,„ r„;.. me use ot this form of the verb is perhaps most frequent in the Ebon dialect. All verbs, or with but few exceptions, will readily prefix the causative particle. It is not so frequent in the language of Ponape, though fhcre it is an important feature of the verb. The pihel, or reduplicative, or intensive characteristic of the verb, is another interesting fact common to both languages. Perhaps it may be a little premature to thus characterize this as njorm of the verb. This reduplication of the verb, may come from another principle than its intensive character. Yet, as a fact, both languages present us with this interesting feature, namely, many of their verbs reduplicate themselves; and it seems to increase their power. Yet often the idea is so little intensified, it seems hardly to meet our rule. Longer study is required to test this, especially on Ebon. Verbal directives are beautiful features of each dialect, and remarkably similar. The principal directives of each are all easily referred to the same roots. La, from, and to, towards, pertain to the Ponape dialect. Lok, from, and thok, towards, to the Ebon language. These are most palpably from the same radices. And there are others as closely related. In both dialects these directives nre suffixed to the verb. ''' - .""' - _ KXAMFI.E. <Kwon-i-thok, \ You .

Perhaps all may not be so strikingly similar as the ones given above, yet between many there is much unity. And to the philological student these facts are not a little interesting. The facts I have thus far presented you of the grammar of these dialects must suffice for the present. There are some other features of the languages, had I time, I should like to present. In some respects, they more clearly establish the fact I have often referred to, the palpable unity of origin of the dialects, than anything I have said. Perhaps another year 1 may refer to them. The common origin of the tribes, or na- tions, is, you know, not more certainly established by any evidence than by their languages. An eminent English writer on the unity of races, speaking of languages, says: " A reasonable philologist makes similarity of language strong, very strong, prima facie evidence in favor of community of descent. When does it imply this, and when does it merely denote commercial or social intercourse ? We can measure the phenomena of language and exhibit the results numerically. Thus the per centage of words common to the languages may be, 1, 2, 3, 4, 98 and 99, or any intermediate number. We ask now what sort of words coincide, as well as how many. When the names of such objects as fire, water, sun moon, stars, hand, foot, tongue, tooth, See., agree, we draw an inference quite different from one which arises out of the precision of such words as enmti, fashion, quadrille, violin. Common sense distinguishes the words which are likely to be borrowed from one language into another, from tl>o«ti M'bich were originally common to the two." Another author 01 in. wh celebrity has said: "ofNothing could be inferred as to the relation two languages from their agreement in owe word,—that the odds are only three to two against their casual agreement in two! but that they rise so rapidly, that there are nearly 100,000 chances to one against their casual agreement in eight." With this view of the subject before us, as the reflection of profound minds, what shall we say of the relation of our two dialects as growing out of the words only which I havo given? If ei»ht words give 100,000chances for them against the agreement of two languages, what shall we say of the table I have furnished, when the words of both languages are so numerous, and refer to almost all the natural objects of life,—words that are the last to be introduced through commerce or the conqueror ? But this evidence of a unity, I view to be the weakest part of our argument, if one were needed, to prove the identity of which we speak. What shall we say of the whole grammatical structure of the two languages, with their nouns, possessing what inflectwn they do ; the same with their mode of distinguishing their number and gender, all alike ; with many of their numerals to be refered to the same radices, and the mode of enumeration strikingly similar; with the paradigms of the pronouns almost a unity with the verb, possessing the same number of moods and tenses ; with its hip/Ml or causative, and piel or reduplicative, or intensive form, with two, its directives, suffixed alike to the verb, and many to be referred to the same roots ? surely here is something more original, looking farther back into the source of things than any commercial origin, or the like could account for.
