Ladies’ Stranger’s Friend Society.—It is gratifying to know that this Society keeps on in its career of usetulness from year to year. It was organized in 1852, and has annually expended from that time to the present, perhaps, upon an average, $500 per annum. During its existence it has assisted persons belonging to every part of the world. Only a few days since it paid the Hospital fees and funeral expenses of an Englishman, amounting to near $60, and it is now assisting one Englishman and one American. From our personal knowledge of the repeated calls for charity, we can speak with confidence when we say that after Americans, Englishmen, Germans and Chinese provide for their sick and distressed countrymen, there will still be ample field for theLadies to labor among the sick and distressed strangers upon our shores. Our Saviour says, for ye have the poor always with you," and the language of Moses is, " for the poor shall never cease " of the land ; therefore I command thee saying, thou shah open thy hand wide, unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in the land." It is a correct inference from the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, that a person's destiny for eternity may depend upon his treatment of the poor. Lazarus was ■imply "laid at the rich man's gate," but was not assisted.—Luke 16:20. out HONOLULU, MAY 1, 1864. {GfoSitits, 33 #01.21.

He has been engaged for about two years in erecting a suitable house for puHic worship. This may seem strange that a missionary should have heeh at his station for twelve years with no meeting* house. This strangeness would vanish if a person should visit that stationand go among the people. They live very much scattered, and verymuch depends upon the missionary's own personal exertion. Mr. Sturges thus writes under date of October 21st, 1863: " To beg for the means to build a church among Christians is one thing, to do this among savages, quite another." He then goes on to give a detailed account of his method of proceeding. With his few reliable people, he goes into the swamp, cuts the timber, floats it to a good landing place, and then with much toil conveys the heavy sticks up a steep hill. It took forty-two men to carry a single stick. He thus concludes: "When all were ready, the leader gave a blast on the conch-shell, the whole crowd then shouted, struck up a song, and off they moved, and as they thundered up the hill, filling the whole region with their songs and yells, it was a thrilling time you may depend." Thus the work went slowly forward, but after many weary months the house was finished and dedicated. The sketch of the dedication we shall allow Mr. Sturges to give in his own language. the New Church at Roaaklti, Aarrnaiaa lalaari. Oeaacatlasj *r Ponape, Nov. 21st, 1863. You will be glad to hear that we, or rather the Living God, has a place on Ponape dedicated exclusively to His service. Preparations for inaugurating this new order of things were made on Thursday, day before yesterday. There was some squealing of pigs, a little snarling of dogs, a good deal of climbing cocoanut trees, and a wonderful sight of scratching among the yams, to say nothing of the aroma from opening bottled fruits. Early on Friday morning, the neat baskets of native food began to come in, •fidby 10 o'clock our porches and study were groaning under the free-will offerings of our strangely changed people. The horn then sounded out the hour for gathering in the new church. Ify heart thrilled with delight to »cc my family gathered in a neat pew, to seat myself in a civilized pulpit, with the Scriptures lying before me on a red-cushioned desk," and above all, to have" an attentive congregation of some three hundred seated in their proper places, all attention to hear " strange things." The order ofexercises was about as is usual on such occasions in Christian lands, that is, as they used to be when I lived up there among Christians. Mjr.

Some of Christian natives had reported this fact to the missionary, and hence he determined to visit the spot. Starting with some trustynatives, he undertakes the journey, traveling up and down hills, crossing streams swollen by the mountain torrents, where " two strong natives could hardly hold him from being carried down. * "And when I reached the summit," writes our correspondent, " I could well sympathize with Balboa on getting his first view of the Pacific Ocean ! We had the Pacific spread out before us on both sides, and some of the grandest scenery we ever beheld." On his arrival, the poor people gave him a most cordial welcome. The chief who owns the place was very affable and kind. The people were busily engaged in putting up a small chapel on the site of an old idolatrous feast-house, and the services of Mr. Sturges were acceptable. We shall now leave the missionary to tell his own story. "It was most heart-cheering to see how they took hold of their work, and more pleasing to see how anxious they were to learn. I could hardly sit down to rest for a moment without drawing women and children and men, if not too busy with their work, around me to hear what I had to tell of Jesus, shall never forget the peculiar happiness I felt the first night of my visit there. We had our public services at the twilight hour, and I had retired to my lodgings in a little house on the hill, when sweetest music came up from a house just below, and thenafter a few moments, at another house a little farther off, and then at another, and still another. It was the hour of prayer, and throughout the village the voice of praise and prayer was ascending to the true God. It was decidedly the most home-like feeling I have had for many a year. our purpose to administer the ordi" It was nance of baptism to four persons, and marry two couple at our Wednesday prayer meeting ; but we found no place to leave ofT work till sundown, and we concluded to deferthese ceremonies till the next evening, hoping to get the roof on the church so as to have our first baptisms under it. The storm of that night and the next day was such as we have on Ponape at this season of the year, and so Thursday eve came upon us before our workmen got to a place in their work where they thought they could get along without me, and I must leave early the next morning. the wayfor the marriage cere" I prepared mony by explaining and applying the 2d chapter of John, telling the people how Christ approved of Christian marriages, and He only could provide means of happiness. I then joined the two couple in holy marriage. Their prompt and correct responses to my questions assured me that they were no strangers to the nature of the ceremony, and yet I had never seen one of the parties till three days before. It was now quite dark in the house, and the" most interesting of all the exercises were to be performed: the old patriarch of the place, bending with age, his wife, daughter, and her husband, were to be baptized into the named after good old Simeon. He has found Jesus, and his every word and look expresses that he has found all he wants. »J The place could not afford a bo wl or cup; " the nearest thing to it was a clean cocoanut shell, and who could doubt that the ceremony of baptism was just as acceptable to the Master as though performed over a silver cup ! "These four will be received into the church here at our next communion, and probably the other two couple. " The services there and thus performed were, in some respects, decidedly the most interesting I ever engaged in. the next morning I bade the dear " Early people good bye. Some of them followed us out on the way a distance, then returned to join their companions in finishing the roof of their church. In place ofreturning back over the mountains, I went around ; this brought me into several neighborhoods where I had never been, and saved me the dreaded labor of climbing steeps.

A Wreck.—The Rev. Mr. Bingham thus refers to parts of a vessel which came ashore at Apaiang:—"About the 19th of October fragments of a wreck were strewed along our wind ward coast.

Letter from the Rev. B. G. Snow at Marshall Islands. • Under date of January 25, 1864, the Rev. Mr. Sturges thus refers to this small island, lying midway between Strong's Island and Ascension : " The King of Wellington Island spent the Sabbath with us, and is now with me. He seems like a real good native. He was present at our solemn services yesterday, and was with us at our evening prayer meeting. I send him back with some slates and books, which he is glad to get. I hear that nearly all his people are learning to read ; the Sabbath is well observed. All speak of the natives as the most interesting in all the Pacific. " The two white men, John Smith and Charles Sturges, are also here with the King. I am glad to hear of their efforts to do the natives good. They are anxious to get books, etc., as helps to reform the people. The King would be glad to have a Ponape teacher with him; perhaps we shall send one up some time."

Thanks, many thanks, for your expressions of interest and for late papers. We have just returned from a very pleasant visit to Kusaie. As I have written Dr. Gulick quite fully it will hardly be necessary for me to repeat it here. We touched at Namorik, Ocean, and Pleasant Islands on our way down, and on returning we visited Ailinglaplap (Elmore's) and again at Namorik. We found quite a number of our Ebon friends at Elmore Island, and were cheered to find the Christian party who were withthe chiefs wellreported. We have seldom, if ever, sailed on the Morning Star *vhen the attendance was so general by all on board to our religious services : and the attention was like those interested in the exercises. All were kind and considerate to our wants and to our weaknesses. The different parts of our field are so widely separated now that it makes it rather more of a trial to get to our people than it did when we were on Kusaie. This packing off for a visit of a month or two with all our little family to a place where there are no public houses with sleeping and cooking conveniences, is a little like going to camp out. And we could not greatly blame our carriers if they felt a little vexed at the lot of trumpery we have to take along. But if they talk hard they manage to do it very kindly to us, for we have neither seen nor heard any complaints. Tbey bear their trials like martyrs!

American papers by the last mail announce the death of this distinguished divine, scholar and philosopher. Washington and Franklin were men peculiar to America, but not more so than the self-educated Professor, whose death will now be lamented by the friends of Natural Science and Christianity. For more than forty years he has lectured to the stu- dents of Amherst College, Massachusetts, and left a name among the most eminent of scientific men, while in the Church he was among the noblest and ablest defenders of the cause of Evangelical Christianity. The numerous graduates of Amherst College, scattered throughout the world, will receive the announcement of the death of their beloved Teacher and Professor with profound sorrow. There are but few such men occupying a Professor's chair. As a preacher he was exceedingly admired and beloved. Well do we remember the delightful thrill it imparted to the whole body of students when it devolved upon him to occupy the pulpit upon the Sabbath. Abroad his fame rests upon his researches in Geology and that peculiar department of the science called Ornithichnology, or the fossil foot-marks of birds in stone. His studies were not however confined to any one department of Natural Science, but Botany, Chemistry, Mineralogy, Zoology, and whatever related to tbe wide domain of Nature claimed his attention, and his illustrations from Nature to inculcate religious truth were singularly apt and beautiful. Our limits will not allow us to dwell so fully upon hit character as our feelings prompt. During our academic and collegiate court* it was our privilege to hear him lecture and preach, and we can truly say we never knew the man occupying the chair of a professor in whose character were combined so many loveable and desirable traits. We never heard the tongue of slander or detraction presume to lover him from that noble and exalted position which all cheerfully and cordially awarded to him. In this respect he was pemlkrly fortunate.

New World." " �THE FRIEND, MAT, 1864. New Zealand. We would acknowledge our indebtedness to the Master of the Brechin Castle for late papers from New Zealand. There lie before us the Otago Daily Times and the Daily Telegraph. These two papers are published at Dunedin, and in size they equal the Alta, of San Francisco. From their columns we learn much respecting the buying and selling, church-going and horse-racing, living and dying, going and coming, of the English colonies of New Zealand. We see in these papers no allusions to the war with the Maories, and one report says it has pretty much ceased, but another that the English army has suffered and is suffering fearfully, especially in the loss of officers. The Maories appear to have an abundance of the materiel of war, including muskets, cannon (rifled,) and powder. The question arises, whence do they obtain their supplies ? and we are informed from Sydney! The papers before us are ably conducted, and indicate a thriving and prosperous colony in New Zealand. • Gold is still found, but sheep raising appears to be the main business of the country people. It seems but a day since New Zealand was regarded as at the very ends of the earth, and as the abode of savages, run away convicts and missionaries. A new order of things has arisen ; Christianity and civilization have marched forward and taken possession, and now thriving villages, growing cities and flourishing colonies are the happy result. "Obey orders, if you break owners," is the saying among A 1 skippers. Within a few days two shipmasters have paid over donations for the support of the Friend, having been thus ordered by their owners in New Bedford. Times are improving ! A Thoughtless Boy Punished. " I shall never forget," writes a correspondent, " an incident of my childhood by which I was taught to be careful not to wound the feelings of the unfortunate. A number of us school-boys were playing by the roadside one Saturday afternoon, when the stagecoach drove up to a neighboring tavern and the passengers alighted. As usual, we gathered around to observe them. Among the number was an elderly man with a cane, who got out with much difficulty, and when on have hid myself, but I knew that would be in vain, and so, tremblingly, went into the sitting-room. To my great joy and relief the stranger did not recognize me, but remarked pleasantly to my father as he introduced me —' Such a fine boy was surely worth saving.' How the words cut me to the heart! My father had often told me the story of a friend who had plunged into the river to save me as I was drowning, while an infant, and who, in consequence of a cold then taken, had been made a cripple by inflammatory rheumatism; and this was the man whom I had made a butt of ridicule, and a laughingstock for my companions! I tell you, boys and girls, I would give many dollars to have the memory of that event taken away. If ever you are tempted as I was, remember that while no good can come of sport whereby the feelings of others arc wounded, you may be laying up for yourselves painful recollections that will not leave you for a lifetime." Practices of Primitive Christians. A correspondent of the Presbyterian, of Philadelphia, writes as follows : "On Saßbath evening, in Dr. West's (Second Presbyterian) church, Brooklyn, I had the pleasure of hearing Professor Jules Dc Launay, in a lecture upon the martyrs and saints, and inscriptions and pictures of the catacombs under Rome. He illustrated his discourse by pictures and diagrams, and he held a large audience in interested and close attention for a long time. Rome and Oxford suffered, by the clear demonstrations which he made from the pictures and inscriptions of the catacombs; for he proved clearly that for three hundred and sixty years the use of the sign of the cross was unknown amongst Christians, and that no such symbol was used on their churches ; that no mediator but Jesus was recognized—no mention of Mary—no kneeling at the sacrament of the Lord's Supper—nor any kneeling on the Lord's day in public assemblies of worship ; but standing in prayer was the attitude always observed. He speaks French well and our language with difficulty ; but is, notwithstanding, very eloquent, and his lecture is calculated to do much good.

Arrival at Apaiang ; Visit to Tarawa and Pitts' Islands, and from thence to Strong's Island; Spoke bark Harvest; Mr. and Mrs. Snow left at Strong's Island ; ' Morning Star' touches at McAskill's and Wellington's Islands; Visit Ascension; The 'Morning Star' visits Jar the first time that remarkable island called Providence ; Return to Strong's Island; Visit Elmore's Islands ; Return to Ebon; Visit Jaliuet; Overhaul the wreck of Capt. McKenzie's vessel. Dear Sir:—ln the following report of the Morning Star's cruise, you may find something that will interest you. Sailing from Honolulu on the 7th November, 1863, we arrived at Apaiang on the 24th. The passage was for the most part pleasant. Found Mr. and Mrs. Bingham in usual health and good spirits. We lay in the lagoon until the 29th and left for Tarawa. Having a head wind we did not get to anchor until the Ist December. Found the Hawaiian missionaries well, but out of food. Having no supplies for them on board, gave them some pot and flour from the vessel's stores. On the 4th, having finished our business here, started for Apaiang, at 1 P. M. anchored on the reef. Mr. Bingham came on board from the Evening Star, and left his mail and packages ; he expressed himself much pleased with his printing press and hopes to do much good with it. At 4P. M„ parted from Mr. Bingham, and started for Pitt's Island, arriving at 10 A. M. the next day, and anchored inside the lagoon near the residence of Mr. Randall. That gentleman being absent we were kindly received and assisted in our work by his agents. Having completed our work here, we left the lagoon on the 10thand shaped our course for Millii Island. At 8J the following morning saw the S. E. point of Millii, passing through the passage on the N. E. point of Attole at noon ; we sailed through this beautiful lagoon and anchored off the station on Millii Island at sundown. Our steward, Frank Sylvia, who had been sick most of the time since leaving Honolulu, was discharged here at his own request. His disease was the dropsy in one ofits worst forms, and being sick he would be kindly cared for by the men at the oil stations, and be more comfortable on shore than on board the vessel. We landed him with such articles as would conduce to his comfort. Concluding our business here we left for Jalinet on the 16th, where we arrived on the 18th ; on the 20th left for Ebon, arriving on the 22d and anchored inside. Found Mr. Snow and family all well, also the other foreigners residing here. The King and Chiefs were all off on a cruise to the North, consequently times were very quiet, and no roguery going on. It is much to the credit of the common natives here that when their chiefs are absent they are hardly ever known to steal, but when all are here they are the greatest thieves in the group. On Friday the 26th, Mr. Snow and family came on board bound for Strong's Island. We left Ebon for Namorik arriving there the next morning, leaving the same night for Ocean Island, and on the 31st made the �38 THE FRIEND, NAY, 1864. friend. Saw the bark Harvest, of Honolulu, had Taken fwo blackfish. At 10 A. M., started for Pleasant Island, arriving Jan. 2d. Found the people here very noisy and turbulent' Stopped to trade with them for an hour or two and went on our way for Strong's Island, arriving on the sth. Here we lunded ■ Mr. Snow and family at their old home on Dove Island. The natives seemed much pleased with their arrival. At 3 P. M. we left for westward, touching at McAskill on Dec. Bth, nnd at Wellington on the 11th. Here we found nn honest industrious race, for which much credit is due to the foreigners residing on the island for them these qualifications. They eed are a pattern colony of natives, and bably not matched by any other in Micro- I.ching many red wood logs, some of them of great size. We saw Dut few cocoanut trees, but pandanus were more plenty. We saw no breud fruit, but there may be some on the larger island. At sundown we shaped our course for Strong's Island, where we arrived in the afternoon of the 6th and made an attempt to get in the lee harbor, but not succeeding we worked around the east pari of the island and went into South harbor on Sunday morning. Here we lay until Saturday morning when we left, huving on lionrd Mr. Snow and family. We were much pleased with the conduct of the natives, particularly the Christian part. Thursday, Feb. 18, arouter shore were rived at Ilinglablnb, (Elmore of the charts.) Here we found Timetar, the King of Ebon, with his principal Chiefs of the group.

On the death of his protector, the old King Kiabookc, he and his gang ran away in the night nnd landed at Jaliuet where he ended his career of crime. His antecedents in Jupanand New Bedford mark him what he was, a desperate villain. On the Ist of March we left Jaliuetfor Millii where we arrived on the 7th. Here too death hud been busy with the inhabitants, many of whom had died from the same disease that was raging nt Ebon. The brig Kohala was here a short time after our first visit, having taken no oil since leaving Honolulu. Frank Sylvia, the steward, died five days after we left. He left no message of any kind. We obtained from the natives here n small copper tank with screw top, such as is sometimes used us cabin magazine on board merchant vessels. The natives say they found it on the beach a number of years ngo. A black Imrk was seen off the south side of the island a few days before our arrivnl; she was rutting in a sperm whale at the time. Sailed on the 10th el' March for Honolulu.

I have not remarked on the work of the dilferent missions we have visited, knowing that from the missionaries themselves you will receive reports. To their unvarying kindness and hospitality 1 ran cheeefulW attest, and if a good modest deportment is any sign of a bettered condition among the natives under their influence, their labor has not been in vain. None But Christ. The dying testimony of the lata Dr. Alexander, of Princeton Theological Seminary, is worthy of record and preservation. He was for more than forty years a Professor of theology, and extensively acquainted with the whole range of ancient and modern history and controversy. Shortly before his death he remarked : "All my theology is reduced to this, Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners." Equally worthy of note are the following remarks of the late Bishop of Calcutta (Wilson) in a letter to the Islington clerical meet- " As 1 grow older, my religion is much more simple; none but Christ; none but Christ. lam weary of novelties in doctrine, morals, discipline, Church order. lam of the old school of Romaine (whom I remember, as a boy, in 1792—'5,) Newton, Cecil, Foster, Robinson, the Verms (the elder of whom I once, and once only, saw,) and above all, Thomas Scott and Joseph Milner. '* I pray my younger brethren to distrust all the plausible theories, and over statements, nnd exaggerations of the day. I have seen such rise and expire, like the crackling thorns under a pot, twenty times. Neologism is infidelity under another name; Traditionalism is semi-Popery, with the usurpation of the place of Almighty God speaking in his inspired Scriptures to man." �TI E NMf:\D, tt A tward from In ISlsl. bound .Virl'i ou a whulluu cruise, on hoard please comm unlcatc whh the Kdltor, the Onor./r o.i'l »lury or Mre.

The performances will be similar to those of former years. The Trustees, at a late meeting, unanimously voted to adopt the ticket system of admission, devoting the avails of the Exhibition to defraying the outlay incurred recently in erecting a verandah around the main school building. This improvement has been long desired, for the convenience and comfort of the teachers and pupils. Terms of Admission.—Adults SI, and children 50 cents. Previous to the Exhibition due notice will be given in regard to the evening's arrangements. No free tickets will be given, not even to the Trustees or parents ofchildren. The Trustees have been led to pursue this plan from repeated solicitation of responsible persons in the community, who are friends of the Institution. In order to avoid anything which might have the appearance of favoritism, the Trustees propose to issue no free tickets. It is believed the public will fully appreciate this plan. at the 41 Cheering News. Monthly. Among our regular exchanges, we are always (flail to welcome this periodical. It is now e<liti*d by Lisle Lester. Its circulation has increased to two thousand monthly. The April No. contains a portrait of the Key. Thomas Starr Kinir and a sketch of his life, and also Chapter sth of The Wife," a " story of California, by Mrs. M. D. Strong. We also notice with pleasure an article by Mr. J. A. Daly, who is now about to graduate from the College at Oakland. The subject of this essay, " Ideals.' The writer throws out many suggestive thoughts. The importance of having ever before the mind a good " ideal," is well set forth. The essay closes with this paragraph : " Once in the history of the world, the Infinite God took upon Him human flesh ; walked the common paths of this disciplinary life, suffered all its disabilities, and returned to his throne through the gate of a grand martyrdom. Once, and only once, the majestic outlines of human character were filled up to the full measure of the divine pattern. Humility, patience, energy, heroism, charity, love—all these were shown, perfect and harmonious in one radiant character. This is the central fact of all human history. Here the ideal of possible goodness and greatness rests satisfied. It cannot go further. It has reached its goal." By private sources wo learn that Mr. Daly, after graduating, will proceed to the Eastern States, and enter New York Theological Seminary. - {(DloStrits, tf01.21. It is no longer quiet upon the Potomac. There is heavy fighting along the whole line of battle, both north and south of Richmond, and also in Georgia. News has been received from New York to the 13th ultimo, and as a result of several hard days' fighting between the Union and Rebel armies, Lee has been defeated and retired towards Richmond, closely pressed by Grant's forces. Seven thousand prisoners have been captured ; Gen. Longstreet has been killed, and the Rebel army made to feel that the day of its complete overthrow may not be far distant. The Union army has suffered in the loss of Gen. Sedgwick and many of its brave men. South of Richmond, the operations of the Union forces, under command of Gen. Butler, are of the very highest moment. A large force is now landed on the South side of James River. The great Southern railroad has been cut, so that no more soldiers or supplies can como to the aid of Lee. General Butler had driven General Beauregard into Petersburg, and prevented him from reinforcing Lee. The editor of the Alta ofthe 15th of May remarks: " Taken as a whole, the news furnishes ample grounds for rejoicing." The news from Georgia is also quite encouraging. The Union forces are pressing closely upon the Rebels, and compelling the Rebels to fall back towards Atlanta. Chinaman's Opinion of Rum.—Taking a walk one day through the commissariat stores in Hongkong, with a friend, I came to a portion of that establishment where four Chinamen were engaged In emptying a large tub of rum, which they were carrying in gallon measures to another portion of the building. Addressing myself to the one who was apparently the head of the party, I inquired : you like rum, John ?" " Do No, sir," said the Chinaman.

' said unto Nathaniel, * behold an Israelite,' &c. (John, Ist chap, verse 47th.) " Having arrived in New York, I wandered through the streets for employment, but could get none ; garment after garment, prayer-book and all I sold to get food. I tried to enlist in the army, they said I was too young; then I tried to enlist among some boys on Governor's Island to learn music. After I had been there for about two weeks the officer told me to go, saying I was no use only to eat Uncle Sam's grub ; but it was all tor the best. And now winter was coming on ; I tried to ship in a whaler, but they would not have me, I being too young. I was then what the world calls hard up. In that cold winter of 1848 I slept on cotton bales in the open air, sometimes in Peck Slip and sometimes at the foot of Beekman street; for my food I would buy twelve cents' worth of broken biscuits, and this sometimes would last me two days or longer. I would obtain this money by standing at the steamboats to carry a trunk or bag, which I have carried into the upper part of the town for twentyfive cents; but it was all for the best. At last I got a berth aboard of a schooner. After being aboard about six weeks I left her, and shipped aboard of another for a short time, and after I left her 1 went to work for a whaling shipping office, but there I got cheated out of my pay. I then tried again to ship in a whaler. They told me (the runners or shipping-master) that if I would say that I was twenty-one years of age, and an American, they would ship me. I was then shipped and taken down to Stonington, for which I was charged $15; but it was all for the best. I then went a voyage which lasted twentythree months, but when I came home I hod nothing to take ; but it was all for the best. Again I started on a thirteen months' cruise, which brought me 575, besides a good suit of clothes. I then came down to New York and shipped in the merchant service, where I have been ever since. In February, 1865, I shipped to San Francisco, and arriving there I went up to Oregon, where I worked for from S6O to S6O per month ; but, not being satisfied, came down to San Francisco and shipped for China at $20 per month. Aboard that ship, and in others, I was the ring-leader in all kinds of sinful pleasure, and was three days ofT duty for my misconduct. I then was discharged in Hong Kong, and shipped aboard the ship Don Quixote for Shanghae, but instead of going there we went to Siain and back ; but it was all for the best. I left her in Hong Kong. I then shipped on board the ship Golden West; I stopped on board of her for four months in Shanghae. We then sailed for New York. We had on board as passenger one of the Lord'B servants, Rt. Rev. Bishop Boone, who had been a missionary for a number of years in China. It was his custom to preach to the crew on the Lord's Day. On the first Sabbath I think he took his text from the 18th and 19th verses of the 15th Chapter of St. Luke. I never before sat under a sermon ; I listened to him, and when he said ' This man was a Jew,' tfce., I resolved to read the Testament; for, up to thattime, I had never once looked into this blessed book wherein is found eternal life. But, before I looked into it, still having some of the old Jewish prejudices about me, I resolved to �read the Old Testament first. 1 then began to read ; I thought I ought to pray; I tried, but could only say ' Oh! God lead mc into the path of the righteous and cause mc to shun the path of the wicked.' I wanted to say the Lord's prayer, but I dare not, for I was afraid, but in a short time the Lord's prayer came to mc. I then used to cover my head and say it, I would then uncover and repeat it over again, so as to be sure that 1 was right, (for the Jews when they pray have their heads covered,) but yet I was in agony for my sins, and when I would read the Bible it seemed to condemn me, but at last I asked God when I would read my Bible to cause me to read over twice that which I ought to walk by; but still, when I read Whosoever shall commit such a sin shall 'suffer death, and be cut ofT from his people,' I felt that I had been cut offfrom my people, so 1 was only to await death to have that sentence fulfilled upon me. I could see no way of escape; I would search the Scriptures day and night but found no relief. I then began to look for Christ at the top of the pages of the Bible; but still I would not believe until I had examined for myself. I then could and did say the Lord's prayer; and when I would lay myself down to sleep I would take my Bible or some other book in my hand and say, 'Oh God, if thou wouldst have me to remain a Jew make me to hold this book in my hand when I awake;' and this is the way the Lord brought me out, and so I suffered until 1 read, ' He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.' Then I believed, I felt satisfied, but every storm I would be afraid on account of not being baptized ; but at last I felt the mere desire of being baptized was sufficient. All this time I kept the thoughts of my heart a secret from everybody, yet I would talk about religion for the sake of gaining information ; and when I arrived in New York I wrote a letter to that servant of our Lord, who was to me as the sun is to all men. He came to see me two or three times, but only once 1 wns at home. I tnen went to Savannah, and there I received a letter from him which directed me to go to his brother-in-law, Rt. Rev. Bishop Elliot, who baptized me ; and since then I have tried to become a follower <jf that humble and loving, although long-despised, Jesus and Saviour. I have cried unto him to make me an instrument in his hands of fetching many unto him, and glory be to his holy name 1 he has crowned my efforts ; he has blessed me time after time. And, now, who can look over these things without saying, ' It is all for the best ?' I might say if I had behaved myself I might have been worth money; but what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and lose his own soul ? I have now, thank God! though poor in worldly goods, a treasure laid up in heaven ; I have a hope in Christ: He is mine and I am his, glory be to his holy name ! And now, in conclusion, I would say to those who say that religion is not for a sailor, that he cannot be religious aboard of a ship, to such I would say, as I feel and know bju experience, religion makes you a better sailor; you are ready and prompt to obey orders: and at sea I believe I have had the sweetest seasons with my God ; I have had longer and better time to meditate, and I have had less temptations than on shore. 43 THE FRIEND, JUNE, ISf 4. I can read my Bible more and oftener than a laboring man can on shore. The cross of Jesus is not hard, but it is a delight to him that bears it. You may take away the world but give me Jesus. The world has gone from me, for my father and all that is tied to me by nature have stopped corresponding with me ; but, although they have denied me, Christ Jesus owns me, and He ever lives to intercede for me. And to the merchant I would say, that the religious sailor is at all times faithful and honest, and will do his duty cheerfully. On my first voyage here from Boston I was one of six who broached the cargo and helped ourselves to preserved fruits; and on my last voyage, instead of stealing, after one month out from New York we had a prayer-meeting end Bible-class in the forecastle, although our captain and chief mate seemed to be against it. 1 wish that the same captain might see this. We sailed in November, 1858,and arrived in San Francisco in March, 1559. And now I pray to God that if he should, or whosoever may read this, it may prove to them to be all jor the best." Editorial Remarks.—The reading ofthe foregoing narrative we think cannot but prove encouraging to all who are interested in the moral improvement of seamen. Seldom will a more hopeless subject be presented for consideration. His Jewish prejudices must have been exceedingly strong. The barrier between him and the gospel was very high, but after much effort and many struggles it was overcome. This instance is another beautiful illustration of the oft-quoted text, " Cast thy breaa upon the waters." How little Bishop Boone imagined, when he remarked the " Prodigal was a Jew," that he would awaken in the mind of a son of Abraham a desire to become a follower of Him who could say, " Before Abraham was, 1 am." This example shows how much of hope there is when a wicked man is willing to commence reading the Bible with the honest purpose of learning the path of duty. Reading the Bible, accompanied wilh earnest prayer, will accomplish wonders. The Rev. Dr. Chalmers spoke the truth when he said, " Give a man the Bible, and a conscience, and he will knock out the truth." May our readers be profited by the perusal of this narrative, and we think with the writer, they may lie led to infer that "all things work together for good to them that love God."— Romans 8:28. from (be New York Observer. Hymns and their Authors. RBEYV.D.D. F.HAETFDIWL,N Messrs. Editors :—Your correspondent, "J. M. M.," has suggested a fruitful topic, on which, with your leave, I will offer some remarks,*for the benefit of your numerous readers. The subject is full of interest, and, not less, of spiritual profit. A standard hymn is one of the most prolific means of grace. I serves not merely as a suitable vehicle o praise, but also, as a lively quickener of devotion, and an efficient stimulant of pious emotion. Our interest in the hymn prompts to a more particular acquaintance with its author. We want to know something more than his name. Often the circumstances in which a hymn was written, when known, give peculiar intensity to the sentiment. The hymn of"Charles Wesley" beginning with— " Thou Ood of glorious umjeaty,"— the second stanza of which is the first in most of our collections, and in the original is thus written : Lo ! on a narrow neck of land, "'Twixt two unbounded sens I ttand. Secure, insensible; A point of life, a moment's spaoe. Remove me to tbat heavenly plaoe, Or shot me op In hell," — is' read with a livelier sense of its truth and beauty, when it is known that it was written on the extreme south-western point of England, known as "the Land's End," where the " narrow neck juts out, " 'twixt two unbounded seas,"" stretching away on either hand as far as the eye can see. How often has the heart-broken child of sorrow, sick of the workl, and longing to be gone, repeated to himself the sweet words of Watts' hymn entitled : " Love to the creatures is dangerous," and beginning with— " How vain are all things here below." Much as it was appreciated before, it will be read and repeated with far deeper interest when it is known that the poet is said to have written it immediately after the offer of his hand and heart had been most respectfully declined by Miss Elizabeth Singer, one of the most elegant, lovely and accomplished females of the age, better known as Mr«. Elizabeth Rowe. In consequence, he lived and died a bachelor. A Compliment to Chase from an Enemy. The London Times, whose hostility to everything American, and especially to everything connected with the Federal Government, is well known, pays an unwilling compliment to Secretary Chose. It says : " With a debt which would crush any State in the Old World, except England and France, Chase still exhibits all the distinctive features of a splendid, increasing and permanent prosperity; he has a large stock of bullion, so large as to keep in hand all speculators in gold; should they buy gold faster than he wishes he can immediately buy up millions of paper and make them complete their purchase in a dear market." Abolition in Brazil.—A Senator, Silvierba da Motta, has proposed in the Brazilian Senote that " no foreigner residing in Brazil should be allowed to hold slaves, and that those actually holding them should be obliged to sell them within a certain time." Also that the convents and other monastic institutions should be obliged to sell their landed properties and slaves.

I, — "Our Native Village." voted large sums to educntionol purposes. Holden Chapel at Cambridge University, Massachusetts, was also named after him. He was very prominent among the Dissenters of England during the first half "f the 18th century. Holden was originally a part of the township of Worcester, and lies in the very center of the old Bny State. If diagonal lines were drawn across the State of Massachusetts, they would intersect over " our native village." We sometimes wonder if the little town is as pleasant as in the days of our childhood, when we played on the "Common," caught trout in the meadow brooks, chased butterflies, and tried to catch rabbits and partridges in snares, gathered chestnuts in the pnstures, and attended the village school? How well we can remember tho people ns they gathered on Sunday at church, and on town-meeting and "training" days. How well we ran ronieinlior those teachers in the village, school, nnd our ministers, the Rev. Mr. Pnine and his predecessor, the Rev. H. Bardwell, D.

But we nre writing a much longer notice of "our native village" than we intruded. It is much easier to scribble along than to cense writing. We seem to be living over our early life ngain, mingling again among the playmates of our youth, and revisiting the burying ground However far a person* may wander, yet his thoughts will be ever recurring to% the spot where he was born. He will be grateful for any little incident to remind him of the scenes of early childhood. The following notices we have met with in several American newspapers. They relate to our native village, and they are so creditable to that little town nestled among the rugged hills of New England, that we cannot refrain from copying them. They will not, of course, be of much interest to the general reader, only as they portray not only one, but hundreds of those New England townships or villages which were settled by the Puritans of Englnnd and are now occupied by their descendants. Holden.—Rev. Wm. Peine, D. D., pastor ofthe Congregational Church in Holden, has lately preached his thirtieth anniversary sermon, which is published. The church was organized 121 years ago, and has had but four pastors. It has been destitute but once, and then less than two years. Dr. Paine has united 540 individuals in marriage, has received into his church by profession 375, hns enjoyed nine distinct revivals, has administered the communion 176 times, and has preached about 3,300 sermons. There is not now, and never has been, an uncvangclical religious organization in the town. His pastorate has been very agreeable and eminently useful, and he still dwells quietly among his people.— Massachusetts S/,y. Holden.—The pupils in one of the district where our parents nnd grand parents are reschools in Holden have been engaged in a posing. May it yet be our privilege once praiseworthy enterprise.

He underwent a protracted examination on navigation and seamanship before the Navy Board, and was one of a few that passed with great credit to himself among a large number of competitors (say four out of nearly forty.) He is duly commissioned or warranted, and joins the Gulf of Mexico Squadron. One of the greatest objections to him was that he was too young (only twenty-one years,) but with a hope that he would outlive this objection was permitted to pass." We recently heard of another young man, who once boarded at the Sailor's Home in Honolulu, and studied navigation under Captain Smith, ns having been promoted to the command of a vessel when captured by tho blockading squadron off the Southern coast of America. There never was a time when meritorious nnd enterprising young men following the seas had such opportunities for promotion and advancement. Look out, boys, and never fenr, if you keep sober and arc truthful and honest, and wide awnke. Heroes in Common Life. The Rev. H. W. Beechor, in a lately printed sermon published in the Independent, brings forward the following illustration of heroes in common life : " I mentioned, a year or two ago, the case of a public servant in the Assay Office, which I will now mention again. According to the rules of the Department, as I understand them, there is nllowed on the gold that passes through the office a certain per cent, for necessary chemical waste. It seems that this mnn, by a more skillful process than had previously lieen adopted, saved the whole. He had, in making up his accounts for the Department, a right to substractas his own that which he thus saved; but he did not, though it amounted to about eighty thousand dollars. The Statement, as I gave it, was published, and it attracted the notice of a gentleman in California, who sent me a letter with ten dollars, to get the photograph of the man who had the honesty to resist temptation under such circumstances. Ninety-nine men in a hundred, situated as this man wns, would hnve pocketed the money, saying, 'The law explicitly nllows it to me.' But he said, ' The law allows so much for wnste ; but I CM save it, and so put eighty thousand dollars in the hands of the Government;' and he passed the amount over, as a matter of course, and did not think it worth while to mention the circumstance, and perhaps does not know that it has been mentioned. There was noble heroism. It was winged heroism. Where other men would have fallen, he not only stood, but never thought anything about standing, he stood so easy." Mr. Beechor did not inform his hearers whether he sent forward tho Ihto's photograph to his California correspondent; but if that gentleman will send us ten dollars, we will send him the photograph of a |till more remarkable hero. A few days since a kanaka, in the suburbs of Honolulu, found a purse containing some gold coin; he ties the same to a pole, and perambulates the streets, in- �45 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1 814. owner. When asked by a foreigner (perhaps a stranger from California) why he did not pocket the money nnd sny nothing about it, replied " that God saw him, and it would be wrong." When we hear persons express doubts respecting such instances of heroism, it leads us to question their honesty. Pope says an " honest man is the noblest work of God," and we are inclined to believe that there are a good many honest people in the world. We do not believe all men to be rogues until they are proved honest, and although occasionally mndc to pay for our confidence in men, yet upon the whole, we would rather assume that we live among honest men than nmong rogues. quiring for on itnnts of the Slave States of America had freed their slaves, and then gone to work and nobly educated and elevated them in their social, civil and religious relations, what a noble spectacle would have been presented. They madly choose the other alternative, and now what a deluge of blood they have caused to flow. Well, we believe the war will result in accomplishing this work, and the guilt must rest upon those who waged it. Let us be hopeful. The missionary nnu school-master will follow in the pathway hewed out by the sword of the soldier. Wherever the Union army gains possession of the country, free schools are opened.

The Value or Little Birds.—At the late English International Exhibition, in a dark corner of what was called the French Court, there lay a series of specimens well worth a close inspection. Amid the brilliant array of the products of human industry these would have passed unnoticed but for the fact that they were a collection of the stomachs of little birds, formed with incredible patience and pains, in a thirty years study, by Florent Prevost, the eminent French naturalist. They were designed to show, by actual demonstration, the objects upon which these little creatures feed during each month in the year, and thereby enable us to form some estimate of their immense value to mankind. It is well known that in many districts in Europe, the wanton destruction of small birds has seriously interfered with the harvests; that whole forests have been destroyed by the ravages of some small wood-boring beetle, " Stop," cried the bird-seller amazed, which only the woodpecker can keep in They're all escaping fast." order; that by the multiplication of the wire "That's right," said Jack, and held the worm and other similar pests, actual famine " Jack and the Birds.

How the Missionary Hymn was Written.—The iate Dr. Raffles, in a letter to Dr. Lowell Mason, gives the following account of the origin of the Missionary Hymn, which is now sung the wide world over : '" Greenland's ioy mountains, " From From India's ooral strand," &o. Heber, the rector of Hod net, married the daughter of Dean Shipley, rector or vicar of Wrexham, in North Wales. On a certain Saturday he came to the house of his fatherin-law, who resided at the rectory or vicarage, to remain over Sunday, and preach in the morning the first sermon ever preached in that church for the Church Missionary Society. As they sat conversing after dinner, in the evening, the Dean said to Heber, 'Now as you are a poet, suppose you write a hymn for the service to-morrow morning.' Immediately he took pen, ink and paper and wrote the hymn which, had he written nothing else, would have immortalized him. He read it to the Dean, and said, ' Will that do ? ' 'Aye,' he replied, 'and we will have it printed and distributed in the pews, that the people may sing it after the sermon.' ' O,' he adds, ' it will go to ''Twas when the seas were roaring." And so he wrote in the corner, at the top of the page, ' 'Twos when the seas were roaring.' The hymn was printed accordingly." and the garden. Consented to Change the Subject.—A Washington letter writer gives the following history of a little circumstance that recently occurred at the National Capital: "John Bull is very fond of lecturing Brother Jonathan on the manner in which his rebellious citizens are sometimes treated, forgetting the horrible atrocities which have so often been committed by British soldiers and sailors when in an enemy's country. A few evenings since Lord Lyons, the British Minister here, was indulging, at a dinner party, in some comments on the conduct of General Wild's negro brigade during their expedition into Virginia, and his Lordship concluded by remarking that 'General Wild must be a hard-hearted man.' ' Yes, my Lord,' replied a gentleman sitting opposite, 'a true soldier is always hard-hearted. 1 remember while in England some ten years ago to have read in the papers that when Sir Edmund Lyons, your Lordship's father, went with his squadion to bombard Taganrog, in the sea of Azoff, a delegation of the citizens waited upon him, begging him to spare the place, which had for years supplied a great portion of England with breadstuffs, and they added that most of the wheat owners were Austrian subjects. But the Admiral only replied : 'So much the worse for you,' and in two hours the whole town was in flames, reducing many wealthy foreigners as well as natives to beggary.' His Lordship passed the wine and changed the subject of conversation." A patriotic old lady lately sent three >king-caps as presents to officers in the of the Potomac.

It was not so much a variation in the mode of keeping- Sunday, as a total destruction of our ideas of Sabbath keeping. Business goes on; the streets are thronged with people bent on pleasure, and the very air is filled, not with peace, but with social exhilaration, with pleasure and bustle, in short, not with any suggestion of another world, but with every phase of the enjoyment of this world. In our land, it may be that the cheerful and and social elements arc too much excluded from religion ; but here it is religion that seems to be shut out from the Sabbath all its worldly enjoyments! Beneath my room I count a hundred laborers at work on the new opera-house. In the streets teams trail their usual loads. The shops display their wares, and nothing in the exterior aspect of the city would have revealed to me the day if my calendar had not indicated it. Yet a great change had tuken place, and that at the wish of government, there is far less secular business transacted than formerly, and that even those stores that keep open in the morning are closed at noon, that their occupants may mingle with the universal amusements of the day."

" Sabbath in Paris.—We have known that the Catholic dignitaries of France were alarmed at the tendencies of the anti-Sunday regime, and trust it may not be too late to stay its fearful power. All the Bishops have sent out pastorals on the subject, and societies for the better observance of Sunday have been formed in most of the towns. The only paper in the world specially devoted to the Sunday question, "l'Observateur dv Dimanche," is published in Paris. But whether the Sabbath can ever be restored to ~ its just position, so long as equal or superior authority is given to festivals of mere human appointment, may well be doubted. One thing is certain, the temporal and eternal interests of men and nations are identified with the Christian Sabbath. It was made " for man"; the man who neglects or despises it unmakes himself.—N.

HONOLULU, JULY 1, 1864. in Hawaiian, in behalf of Home Evangelization, before the united native congregations of Honolulu, and the delegates of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, Sabbath afternoon, June 26th, at Mr. Smith's Church, from the text I. John 4: 11. Ist, consider God's love to the Jews ; 2nd, consider His love to us of Hawaii nei; 3d, consider what we ought to do because of God's love to us—we ought to love one another, &c. This sermon of the Rev. M. Kuaea, was delivered in a most eloquent and impressive manner. The large native and foreign audience was held in fixed attention for nearly an hour. The speaker showed that he was " a workman that needeth not be ashamed." After the sermon a collection of 579 50 was taken in aid of the funds of the Ha waiian Evangelical Association. The exercises were concluded by the celebration of the Lord's Supper. The Rev. A. 0. Forbes preached* sermon in behalf of foreign missions, in Fort Street Church, Sabbath evening, June 26th, from the text, Mark 4: 26, 27. Ist, the agency employed in the work of missions; 2nd, the power accompanying that agency; 3d, the certainty of the results. In referring to the results of missionary labors, Mr. Forbes gave a succinct and rapid sketch of missions in Polynesia. It was remarkably well done, and we hope the sermon will be published, or parts of it at least. It was followed by a collection of 532. The sermon of Mr. Forbes concluded the series of sermons in English and Hawaiian at the appointment of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. These several discourses formed an interesting feature of the religious services, at this annual gathering pf the Protestant missionaries. The Rev. L. H. Gulick preached a sermon Sabbath evening, June 19th, at Fort Street Church, in behalf of Home Evangelization, from the text, John 17: 18, "As thou hast sent me into the world ; even so have I sent them into the world." The sermon was a well delivered extemporaneous effort, urging upon the audience the importance of laboring for the welfare of the Hawaiian people. Some of the points were most forcibly and felicitously enforced. After the sermon a collection of $72 was taken up in aid of the cause. The Rev. H. H.Parker preached a sermon in Hawaiian in behalf of foreign missionaries, at the Kawaiahao Church, Sabbath morning, June 26th, before the united native congregations of Honolulu, from the text, Matt. 28: 19, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations." The speaker gave, Ist, a short sketch of the early progress of Christianity. 2nd, he spoke of the nature of the gospel, (a) universal in its adaptation to man's wants, (b) progressive in its spirit, (c) it is a saving gospel, (d) it renews and infuses new President Lincoln's letter, on page life, («) it is everlasting. 3d, reasons why Hawaiian churches should take hold in 54th, is worthy of a careful perusal. earnest, to carry forward the work of sending A suttee recently took place at Rajpootans, India, all th* parties enjafwd In It ***. niiad and the gospel to the islands " beyond us."

This sketch is worthy of special notice, from the fact that it was written by an English lady, and published in an English Magazine. Thus far in the history of the civil war in America, the English press has most reluctantly awarded praise to the soldiers and officers of the Union army; while the English language seemed quite too meagre wherewith to extol the chivalry of the South.

We can now refer with some degree of exultation and pride to the exercises of commencement week. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 14th and 15th, were devoted to the examination. In another column will be found a copy of the programme. Before the interesting exercises are brought to a close, the audience begin to feel that Solomon, that ancient author, book-maker, and King, was right in saying, " of making many books, there is no end ; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." After listening to questions and answers, for six hours each day, for two days, and then to be told by the President that only a part of the classes were examined, we really began to think ihat teachers and pupils had been busy during the pi*t year. There is no question but the pupils of that institution have been thoroughly taught, and it is a source of regret to all that the health of the President does not allow him to remain at his post, which he has filled with so much credit to himself and usefulness to those under his care. He has been assisted by a corps of teachers, as might be inferred from the examination, who have labored with unwearied fidelity. By glancing at the programme, it will be seen that the curriculum embraces a wide range of study. As one of the spectators, we cannot refrain from expressing our thanks to the managers of the examination exercises, that, during the recess of each day, we should be invited into the dining-room to partake of a lunch that would have done credit to the managers or ladies connected with the New England " Kitchen," at the Sanitary Fair at Brooklyn. One feature of the Oahu College deserves a special notice, the young ladies have there learned not only the theory of bread-making, but have also been taught a practical application of the chemical principles. The young lad,, teo, know very well that there are other species of roots beside Greek " woo." Ths tsxhibition, at Fort Street Church, is the crowning exercise of the College. We call the attention of our readers to the programme of those exercises. These performances were highly satisfactory. Although some of the gentlemen were younger than those who have taken a part in former years, yet.remarkably well did they sustain the character of the institution. As an experiment, the Trustees adopted the rule that all spectators should be admitted by presenting a ticket costing one dollar, and children half passed away since John Brown was hung in price.

Abraham Lincoln and Andy Johnson Nominated for President and Vice-President at the Baltimore Convention. This is one of the most important items of news that has been flashed over the telegraphic wires. We received the news in twelve and a half days from Baltimore. In all human probability they will be elected. Their election will stamp the policy of the United States Government for the next four years. There is to be no change in that policy. The Union must, will and shall be preserved. What particularly interests us is the decided action of the Baltimore Convention in regard to the slavery question. The policy of the Government will hereafter be more and more decided to put down the system. One of the resolutions of that Convention thus reads, " Resolved, that as slavery was the cause and now constitutes the strength of this rebellion, and must be always and everywhere hostile to the principles of a republican government, justice and national safety demand its complete extirpation from the soil of the Republic." Another resolution sets forth that all soldiers, whether white or negro, must be protected alike. As soldiers they must be put upon an equality. This is right. These are correct principles and will eventually prevail. Truly the world moves fast in these days. The power of the United States Government is arrayed to put down slavery. This is the A.

I should like some of the readers of Macmillan to remember the name of the late Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, ns the name of one who gave up his life for what he believed lo be right—deliberately risked and cheerfully laid down a prosperous, happy, beloved and loving life. Forgive me, dear American friends, il I seem to trench a little too much on what is personal. Before I end mv narrative I think you will understand why I do it. My first acquaintance with the Shaw family was in Paris, in the year 1855. Mrs. Shaw and her young daughters were spending the winter there; Mr. Shaw had gone to America to superintend the building of a Inrge family house on Sfaten Island, the pleasant suburb of New York. There was only one son, Robert Gould Shaw, and he was absent, from Paris at this time—study* ing in Germany, I think. The family hat been for nearly five years in Europe, traveling in Italy and Egypt, and stopping where they liked, after the manner of wealthy Americans, and educating their children not after the usual manner of wealthy people. I remember the large, pleasant suite of rooms, looking in the Tuilenes gardens, occupied by Mrs. Shaw and her daughters; the pretty, thoughtful, original girls, clustering around their sweet, loving mother; the birds and pet animals which she taught them to care for and attend to. I recollect scrape of the conversation of those days how Mrs. Shaw spoke of her husband as the true and faithful descendant ol one of the Pilgrim Father* who had left everything for conscience's sake, how anxious she was that, while her daugh- �51 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1 B*4. ters were benefitted in every way by the real advantages which Paris offered in the way of intellectual education, they should not be tainted by the worldliness and the love of dress so often fostered by a residence there. She spoke of the pity it wns thct the American <(irls in general were so encouraged by the wealth of their parents, to spend great sums of money on themselves, so that this habit of expenditure always produced a selfindulgent character, nnd really often became an obstacle to marriages of true love; and then she went on to say how she and her husband feared the adoption of riches as a comparative standard of worth. But, again, she was fully alive to the real advantages that might be derived from wealth. One of her daughters drew well, and loved animals ; The she had lessons (rom Rosa Bonheur. he.use at Staten Island was to be a home not merely lor their children, but for their children's friends ; each child was to have a sitting room and bed room, and an extra bedroom opening into the silling room for n friend. These plans came lightly to the surfnce of conversation, and every now and then 1 bad glimpses unconsciously to my friend, of what she and her husband felt to be the deeper responsibilities of their position. WVII, this happy, prosperous family returned to AmeriCH the next y _r. From time to lime I gave English frientls going to New York introductions lo the Shaws ; and one and all spoke of the kind hospitality which was shown to them—the bright home. full treasures of European art. collected during their five years' travel; the upright, honomble father, the sweet mother, the eldest daughter, now married and living at home with her husband—(l thought how well the education had answered that had led to a marriage of true minds." to which no want of riches on the distinguished husband's part had proved an " impediment"—the pretty, elegant daughters, playing at croquet on the lawn, before the game was so common in England—the noble, handsome, only son, with both his parents character blended in his, and a sunny life of | rosperity before him. That was the last picture I had of the home on Staten Island before the war broke " out. 4 the young men of the " upper ten thousand" entered ; a dashing corps, splendidly horsed and arrayed. I remember well how I used to look lor nny mention of this 7th Lancers! By-andby, perhaps b-fore the war had deepened to grim, terrible earnest, Mrs. Shaw sent me word how, unable almost to benr the long separation from her only boy, she and his sisters had gone to camp (I forgot where) to see him. And then he was at home on leave ; and then he was engaged to a sweet, pretty young lady; and then—he had left the gay regiment of the 7th Lancers, and had gone to live with, and train and teach, the poor forlorn colored people, " niggers,"' who were going lo ficbt for the freedom of their brothers in the South. The repugnance of their Northerners to personal contact with black or colored people has beerr* repeatedly spoken of by all travelers in America. Probably Colonel Shaw had less of this feeling than a Northerner would have had who had been entirely brought up in America ; but still it must have required that deep root of willingness to do God's will out of which springs the truest moral courage, to have enabled him to march out of New York at the head of the Massachusetts 54th, all black or colored men, amidst the jeers find scoffings of the " roughs." and ihe contemptuous pity of many who should have known better. Yet this did Colonel Shaw, one day last spring, with a brave trustful heart, leaving mother, leaving new-made wife, to go forth and live amongst bis poor despised, the first regiment of niggers called into the field, nnd to share their hardships, and to teach ihem the deepest nnd most precious knowledge that he had himself. Two months afterwards he was with them before Fort Wagner, "sitting on the ground and talking to his men." says an eye witness, "very familiarly and kindly.'* He told them how the eyes of thousands would look on the night's work on which they were about to enter; and he said, " Now, boys, I wont you to be men !" He would walk along the line, and speak words of cheer to his men. We could see that he was a man who had counted the cost of the undertaking before him, for his words were spoken so ominously, (remember the Confederates had openly threatened to make an especial aim of every white officer leading colored troops,) his lips were compressed, and now and then there was visible a slight twitching of the corners of the mouth, like one bent on accomplishing or dying. One poor fellow, struck no doubt by the Colonel's determined bearing, exclaimed as he was passing him ; Colonel, I will stay " with you till 1 die;" and he kept his word; since. he has never been seen The 54th colored Massachsetts regiment held the right wing of the storming column that attacked Fort Wagner on the 18th of July last. It went into action 650 strong, and came out with a loss of a third of the men, and a still larger proportion of officers, but eight out of twenty-three coming out uninjured. The regiment was marched up in column by wings, the fir*t being under the command of Colonel Shaw. When 1000 yards from the fort, the enemy opened upon them with shot, shell and cannister. They I knew that my friends were deeply impressed with the sin of slavery ; they were thoughtful abolitionists, and had taken part in all political questions bearing upon the subject both before and alter their residence in Europe. I had letters on the subject of the war as likely to atrect slavery, within a month qr two after the affair at Fort Sumter. They were not the fanatical letters of new converts to an cpinion ; still less were they the letters of people taking up a great moral question as a party cry. They were the letters of men and women deeply impressed with the sense of a great national sin. in which they themselves were, to a certain degree implicated ; and, without too much casting stone at others, they spoke of slavery as a crime which must be done away with, and the doing away of which they were not erely willing, but desirous, to make their The sacrifice has vn personal sacrifices. en made, and is accepted of God. Presently I heaiuthat Robert Gould Shaw, passed through the storm and cheered and c only son, had entered the 7th New York shouted as they advanced. When within a sneers, the crack regiment into which all hundred yards of the fort, the musketry from ir it opened with such terrible effect that the first battalion hesitated—only for an inst int. Col. Shaw sprang forward, and, waving bis sword, cried " forward, my brave boys," and, with another cheer and shout, they rushed through the ditch, gained the pirupet on tbe right, and were soon hand to hand with tho enemy. Colonel Shaw was one of ihe first to scale the walls. He stood erect to urge forward his men, nnd, while shouting to them to press forward, he was shot dead and felt into the fort. His body was found with twenty of his men lying dead around him, two lying on his own body. In the morning they were all buried in the same pit. I must not forget to name one of Colonel Shaw's men—one of his niggers" (ns the Confederates called them,) when the Federals asked for his body the day nlier the fight. "Colonel Shaw!" they said, "we buried him below his niggers!" One of his niggers was a Sergeant William Carney, who caught the colors from a wounded colorbearer, and was the first man to plant tho stars and stripe* on Fort Wagner. As he saw the men falling back, himself wounded in the breast, he brought the colors off, creeping on his knees, pressing his wound with one hand, and with the other holding up the banner, the sign of his freedom. The moment he was seen crawling into the hospital with the flag still in his possession, his wounded companions, both black and white, rose from the straw on which they were lying and cheered him until, exhausted, they could cheer no longer. In response to this reception the brave standard-bearer said, "boys, I but did my duty; the dear old flag never touched the ground!" And now Robert Gould Shaw is dead ; the rich, prosperous young man, who might have lived at his house in the beautiful home on Staten Island, is dead. He, who might have fought gallantly in splendid uniform on a noble charger among his fellows in riches and station, is dead—fighting among the despised colored people, among whom the last months of his life were passed—buried beneath his niggers with contempt and insult. It makes my heart burn when I read the false statements sometimes put out by English papers to the effect that the higher class of Northerners shirk their part of sacrifice and suffering, nnd that, in fact, the Federal regiments are filled with mercenaries, German or Irish. I, one English individual, know of my own personal knowledge of three only sons of rich parents, living in happy homes, fullW gladness and hope, who have left all—l will say it—to follow Christ; and have laid down their lives, for no party object, for no mere political feeling; but to see if their lives might avail, if ever so little, to set the captive free. And the mother of one of these dead sons is giving, her friends fear, far too liberally to procure comforts, and even luxuries, for the Confederate prisoners - in Fort Lafayette.

J'LV 1, 1804. The Church Lives—Man Dies. In years past we have attended the annual meetings of the American missionaries. Before the recent changes in their ecclesiastical organization, we confess our mind was not a little oppressed when we looked around upon a company of venerable and grey haired men. The thought would force itself upon our consideration, what is to come when the " fathers have fallen asleep ?" We could not evade the conclusion that in a very few years those then active would pass away. The problem now seems partially solved. A new order of things has been initiated. Suppose the pioneers of this mission do pass away, and are, gathered to their fathers, the church will still live, the work will still be carried forward. Man may die, but the church will survive. Suppose a spectator visits the meetings of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, held at the Stone Church, and looks around upon the assembly, what will he behold ? There are some of the old missionaries with locks whiter than they were a few years ago, but they are not alone, their sons sit by their side, and a good representation of Hawaiians are participating actively m their deliberative body. The discussions are conducted in the Hawaiian language. There sits the Rev. Mr. Lyman, Chairman, and by his side two Secretaries, the Rev. H. H. Parker, (son of the Rev. Mr. Parker of Kaneohe,) and the Rev. Moses Kuaea, (colleague of the Rev. M. Emerson of Waialua.) Thus the management of ecclesiastical affairs seems to be gradually passing out of the hands of the old missionaries. This is as it should be. The radical changes «hich «er? initiated, during the visit of Dr. Anderson in 18o«, are now assuming a permanent and stable form. The machinery works with as little friction as could reasonably be expected—it works much better than some expected. It is a source of unfeigned ioy and thanksgiving to witness such goodly results, and we are confidently hoping to witness results still more glorious. God will take care of his church. The Ark of God will be safely kept. No TJzsah need fear and stretch forth his band to uphold the Ark The church lives although man dies. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure having this seal, ' The Lord knoweth them that are His.' And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from Iniquity." and "1820—Welcome—1864!" On Monday evening, June 27th, Mr. and Mrs. Whitney invited all the members of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and the Protestant Missionaries, to a social re-union at their residence in Nuuanu Valley. It was a mild and pleasant evening, and the gathering was large. As the guests entered the front door, the above inscription, wrought in evergreen, met the eye. It was an agreeable salutation ! There were present some one or more persons belonging to the Pioneer band, and almost every successive reinforcement. Among the guests present we noticed the Rev. Mr. Thurston and wife, and also at several others, whose whitened locks indicated that they are the representatives of " olden times,"—ofthe days of Liholiho, Kaahumanu, Kinau, Hoapili, Keopuolani, Kuakini and those old chiefs so conspicuous thirty and forty years ago. It was pleasant to meet on this occasion the younger members of the mission and the native brethren. " Coming events cast their shadows before them." It is pleasant to see the old and venerable, who are about retiring from the active scenes of life, meet in a friendly and social gathering, " the coming men," those just " buckling on the harness." Thus the old will gracefully make their exit from the stage, and the young as gracefully make their appearance. We are hopeful for the future. Truly we enjoy much, civilly, socially and religiously in this land, for which we should be devoutly thankful. The Fourth.—By an advertisement in another column, it will appear that the American citizens in Honolulu contemplate a becoming celebration of the 4th of July. We hope additional good and cheering news of Union victories may be received, to give a fresh impetus to the occasion. The nomination of Abraham Lincoln for re-election is as good as a glorious victory ! Says Milton: u Peace bas her victories No lessrenowo'd than war. n New Edition of the Hawaiian Bible.— A carefully revised edition of the Hawaiian Bible, is about to be published by the American Bible Society, in New York. The Rev. E. W. Clark will proceed by the earliest opportunity to New York, to read tho proof sheets and superintend its publication. It is to be printed on electrotyped plates, and will cost at least $10,000. It is not expected that the work will be completed under two years. Similar editions of the Bible, in the language of Tahiti and Samoa or Navigator Islands, have recently been published by the British and Foreign Bible Society of London. The civil war in America has called into existence three new organizations, which are absorbing the attention and benevolent contributions of the people of the loyal North. These three associations are the Sanitary Commission, Christian Commission and the Freedman's Association. The fields of usefulness opening before these Societies are great and inviting. Three agents for these respective Societies have been sent to California to solicit funds. A friend has sent us a neatly printed pamphlet setting forth the claims of the Christian Commission, from which we make the following extracts : Rebellion among the Natives of New Zealand.—However favorable the English people may look upon rebellion in America, in New Zealand it is a serious affair.

A party started for the field hospitals with a wagon-load of stores, and after working two days among the wounded, went forward to Brandy and established a new station. For the next fortnight the headquarters of the Commission were at Brandy Station. A very large quantity of reading matter was there distributed, and from the station the clerical delegates went out to distant camps to preach. Evident it was that the campaign was not yet ended, and arrangements were perfected, so that the Commission could go with the army whenever it should again advance. The four-horse wagons were carefully loaded, principally with condensed food, stimulants, and clothing; and a party was selected from the delegates to go forward. It was arranged that the remaining delegates should return to Alexandria by rail, and be ready to open communication with the army at the first point of supply, wherever it might be. Either Aquia Creek or Fredericksburg was, by many persons, supposed to be the destination of the army. *, The wounded numbering some five or six hundred, were taken from the field, and placed in ambulances, parked in a field about one mile from the Tavern. The weather was very cold, the night was intensely bitter, and the condition of the wounded was truly pitiable. Blankets were unusually scarce, and in the morning it was a sad sight to see the chilled and shivering sufferers. A large fireplace was soon built, and all were busy preparing hot milk punch, and hot coffee, or in taking it from wagon to wagon, until it was too late to do more. Milk punch was given freely, by the request and approval of the surgeons, and coffee, made nutritious with milk and sugar, was taken to all. * Tuesday, the order came to return. The wounded were placed again in ambulances, and we repacked our wagons and took the place assigned to us at the head of the train, thus avoiding delay when coming to a halt at night. * All day we were jolting over such roads as lot to the of wounded we believe seldom fell men before. We could not endure the sight of these poor, exhausted men, sore and faint from wounds, tossed and thrown from side to side of their ambulance beds, all that long, long day. The Rapid Ann was crossed in safety, and as the night came on, the ambulance was parked in a field near its banks. It was already late, and not a moment to be lost. A fire was kindled, water heated, buckets of milk punch prepared and taken to those most exhausted. Coffee and soda _i_C-uit—carefully husbanu?d for the occasion —were then distributed in all part* of the camp. Early in the morning the same work was repeated until the order to march was given, and we had barely time to take our seats in the train. * * * * * * * * New Hawaiian Dictionary.—We present our readers with a specimen page of the Rev.

In the severest engagements of the rebellion, after two or three days of sanguinary fighting, marked by the constant roaring of artillery and the incessant crash of musketry, by far the larger part of the contending forces have escaped unharmed. At the same time the weapons employed are of the most approved construction, the missiles of the most destructive patterns, and the positions of the combatants selected with a view to inflict the greatest amount of injury. Many causes undoubtedly conspire to increase the inadequacy of the results to the means. Some very curious facts were developed by the inspection of the guns captured on the field of Gettysburg. About 28,000 muskets were taken. Of these, 24,000 were found O-na-na, J. of the year. Name of the third month to be loaded, 12,000 containing two loads, and 6000 from three to ten loads each. In numerous instances half a dozen balls were driven in upon a single charge of powder. In some cases the former possessor had reversed the usual order, placing the ball at the bottom of the barrel and the powder on top. Not unfrequently several paper cartridges were packed above each other without being torn or broken. One Springfield musket contained twenty-three loads, all of which were regularly arranged. Other arrangements equally extraordinary were discovered. It will be seen that six-sevenths of all the captured muskets were disabled. It is fair to infer that many in the hands of the soldiers were in a similar condition and therefore were harmless. These facta, which must be true to a greater or less extent in | every battle, will account in a measure for the ineffectiveness of fire arms. �TIE rEIEND, JULY, 1864. 54 Letter by President Lincoln on Kenlucky ipto, tc. AfoVairse-HnwEmance [Fran tlra Fnuikßirt (hy ) ••COTn>onwsalth."| The circumstances which elicited from the unPresident the annexed letter are, as we derstand them, about as follows : The senior editor of the Commonwealth, Colonel Hodges, by invita'ion, accompanied" Governor Bramlette snd Hon. Archie Dixon, on their recent visit to Washington, and to the Executive Mansion, when they had interviews with the President and Secretary of War. At the close of the interview between President Lincoln and Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon, the President pleasantly remarked, as the other gentlemen were about retiring, that he was apprehensive that Kentucky felt unkindly toward him, in consequence of not properly understanding the difficulties by whi'h he was surrounded, in his efforts to put down the rebellion, and that he would explain to the gentlemen some ofthose difficulties, if they felt ini'lined to hear him. A willingness was at once manifested, and the President explained to ihem the difficulties to which he had alluded. On a subsequent occasion, in a conversation with Mr. Lincoln, Colonel Hodges remarked, that he was satisfied that the President was greatly misunderstood by many of the citizens of Kentucky, and that he would greatly oblige him if he would write out the remarks made to Governor Branilette and Senator Dixon, in order that, with the President's permission, they might be published in the Commonwealth ; tha* if published, ihe Colonel doubted not, they would remove much of the prejudice which was attempted to be created against the President in Kentucky. The President took the matter into consideration ; and shortly after his return home the Colonel received the following, which we would commend to the deliberate consideration of the people of Kentucky : Executive: Mansion, Wasiiinctom, April 4. A. G. Hodges, Esq. Frankfort, Kentucky —My Dear- Sir—You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally said, the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was as follows: I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel. And yet, I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took, that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking (he oath. Nor was it my view, that I might take an oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood, too, that, in ordinary civil administration, that this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary, abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times, and in many ways. And I aver that, to this day, I have done no official aot in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability, imposed upon me the duty of pre- serving, by every indispensable means, that Government— that nation, of which that Constitution wis the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution ? By a general law, life raid limb must be protected ; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life ; but. a life is never widely given to save a limb. 1 feel that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution, through the preservation of the Nation. Right or wrong 1 assumed this ground, and now avow it. 1 could not feel that to the best of my ability I had even tried to preserve the Constitution, if to preserve slavery or any minor matter, I shoull permit the wreck of Government, Country nnd Constitution, all together. When early in the war Gen. Fremont attempted military emancipation. I forbade it because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, Gen. Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later. Gen. Hunter attempted military emancipation, I again forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March, and May, and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the border States to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation, and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition, and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hands upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss ; but of this I was not entirely confident. More than a year of trial now shows no loss by it, in our foreign relations; none in our home popular sentiment; none in our while military force —no loss by it, anyhow or anywhere. On the contrary, it shows a gain of a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers, seamen and laborers. These are palpable facts, about which, as facts, there can be no caviling. We have the men, and we could not have had them without the measure. And now, let every Union man who rOsinplains of the measure test himself, by writing down in one line that he is for subduing the rebellion by force of arms, and in the next that he is for taking these men from the Union side, and placing them where they would be, but for the measure he condemns. If he cannot face his cause so stated, it is only because he cannot face the truth. I add a word, which was not in the verbal conversation. In telling this tale, I attempt no compliment to my own sagacity. 1 claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me. Now, at the end of three years' struggle, the nation's condition is not what either party or any man devised or expected. God alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems plain. If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness of God. A. Lihcolh. Yours, truly, The English Language.—The English language must appear fearfully and wonderfully made to a foreigner. One of them looking at a picture of a number of vessels, said, " See what a flock of ships." He was tola that a flock of ships was called a fleet, and thut a fleet of sheep was called a flock. And it was added, for his guidance in mastering the intricacies of our language, that a flock of girls is called a bevy, that a bevy of wolves is called a pack, and a pack of thieves is called a gang, and a gang of angels is called a host, and a host of porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes is called a herd, and a herd of children is called a troop, and a troop of patridges is called a covey, and a covey of beauties is called a galaxy, and a galaxy of ruffians is t ailed a horde, and.a horde of rubbish is called a heap, and a heap of oxen is called a drove, and a drove of blackguards is called a mob, and a mob of whales is called a school, and a school of worshippers is called a congregation, and a congregation of engineers is called a corps, and a corps of robbers is culled a band, and a band of locusts is called a swarm, and a swarm of people is called a crowd. Separation of Church and State.—Holland is the first country in Europe that has applied the principle of separating spiritual and temporal things. The fundamental law of the country, revised in IS4B, ordered the separation of church and state ; but the counsellors of the crown have delayed the execution of the reform, fearing that it would produce too much disturbance in the national customs. The new king,- however, has determined to carry out the order, and henceforth Holland will have no ministers of worship for Protestants or Roman-catholics. The different religious communions will have full liberty to govern themselves and control their own elections, &c. The Liquor Traffic in France Restrictprefect of the Department of the North in France has informed the sub-prefects and mayors that the Minister of the Interior, owing to the serious inconveniences caused by the progressive increase in thenumber ofretail liquor shops, directs that the number should be limited, and that in future the average shall be one retailer to a hundred inhabitants. He also directs them to inform the retail dealers that he is more than ever determined to use with severe justice his legal powers with respect to the proprietors of establishments who encourage gaming, licentiousness, or drunkenness, or who convert them into centres of disorder. ed.—The The Soul of John Brown Marching On. —The following picture, on an immense canvas, is painting in Paris by order of the Hayticn government for suspension in the Senate chamber at its capitol:—ln the middle stands John Brown draped in a modern cloak, on one side of him a negro of pure African race, on the other a mulatto, each of them clasping his either hand in one of theirs, and with the other holding just above his head a laurel wreath; while above the earthly group the Father of all looks down in triumph. Here is a suggestion of the way history is to be written by the world, instead of as Virginia thought to make it. �THE fRIEND, JULY, 1814.

AUGUST 4, 1864. President Lincoln's Proclamation for a Day of Humiliation and Prayer. We copy the following dispatch from a late American paper: Washington, July 7.—The President, in accordance with the resolution of Congress, has issued a proclamation appointing the first Thursday in August as a Day of Humiliation and Prayer for the people of the United States, commending them to implore the compassion and forgiveness of the Almighty, and to pray that, if consistent with His will, the rebellion may be speedily suppressed, and the supremacy of the Constitution and Laws of the United States be established throughout these States; that the rebels may lay down their arms speedily and return to their allegiance ; and that we may not be ut'erly destroyed, and that the effusion of blood may be stayed, and that amity and fraternity may be restored and peace established throughout our borders. Observation of the Day in Honolulu.— At a meeting held in the Session Room of Fort Street Church, Mr. Henry Dimond, Chairman, on Monday evening, August Ist, it was unanimously voted to observe the day in accordance with President Lincoln's Proclamation. It was also voted to meet on the morning of the 4th at the Bethel, at eleven o'clock, when exercises and addresses suited to the occasion might be expected. All Americans and others interested in the great struggle now pending in the United States, and desirous of imploring the Divine blessing, in accordance with President Lincoln's Proclamation, are cordially invited. Per order. HONOLULU, AUGUST 4, 1864. Sandwich Island “Veteran.” We learn that Mr. Nathaniel Emerson, son of Rev. J. S. Emerson, of Waialua, has been honorably discharged from the Army of the United States, having served the full period (and over) of his enlistment. At the time of entering the army he was a member of Williams College. He has now returned to renew his studies. During the period of his enlistment he has experienced much hard service. At the battle of Fredericksburg, under Burnside, he was wounded in the knee. After lying awhile in the hospital, he was ready to join the army to be ready for the battle of Chancellorsville, under Hooker, where he was wounded in the wrist. That wound healed in season for him to be at Gettysburg, where he was much exposed, but escaped, an exploding shell merely taking off the back side of his cap. His term of service expired just before the opening of the campaign under Grant, who was unwilling to allow his regiment to leave just upon the eve of battle, hence Mr. Emerson remained and took an active part in all the battles from the Rapidau to Richmond, escaping uninjured, while his comrades fell on his right hand and left. During a period of two weeks and longer, he was almost constantly under fire. Surely such young men deserve well of their country, and are an honor to their friends. We also hear good reports of young Armstrong, who is now in command of a colored regiment at Hilton Head. Of late we have heard no reports respecting the three sons of the Rev. Mr. Forbes, formerly of Kealakeakua. Late News.—News from San Francisco has been received to July 17th. The latest news from Sherman reports him within ten miles of Atlanta, having recently outflanked, the rebel army and taken 3,f00 prisoners. The rebels were raiding in Maryland, but reports are conflicting about their progress. No late news from Grant 57 Observance fflftStrits, M2l. of the 4thof Julyin Honolulu. As in former years, the anniversary of American Independence was duly observed by Americans and the public generally. The day was emphatically a holiday. "From early dawn until dewy eve," yes, even from 12 o'clock on the night of the 3rd until 12 o'clock on the night of 4th, there was one uninterrupted series of festive, gladsome and jubilant expressions of feeling. The committee of arrangements made the most ample provision for the accommodation of all who were inclined to assemble, for the purpose of listening to an address, and partaking of bountifully loaded tables. The address of J. W. Austin, Esq., was exceedingly appropriate, and has been published in the Adcertuer. The addresses which accompanied the regular toasts were also very appropriate. Our limits are so narrow that we could not publish but the most meagre sketches, hence, we have selected two for insertion in our columns. The address of Mr. Hall, to be found in our columns, was delivered in reply to the toast " The Heroes of 1776." The address of Mr. Bartlett wag an impromptu affair, which called forth much applause. Other addresses were delivered by the Hon. Mr. Mcßride the American Minister, Mr. S. N. Castle, Mr. H. A. P. Carter, Mr. McCully, Mr. A. F. Judd, and Rev. H. H. Parker. There was one feature in all these addresses which was exceedingly gratifying, the eloquent speakers did not deem it their special duty in glorifying Yankee Doodledom, to abuse all other nationalities, and especially John Bull. We hope that species of 4th of July eloquence has forever passed away. Republicanism is the best government for Americans, but other forms of government are better suited to the people of other lands and states of society. Ike Marvel, alias D. G.

Among Parisians there is no prejudice such as exists among us. French and colored servants in the same family eat and sleep together on a perfect equality, and we see every day a young colored girl and a pretty blonde, walking arm-in-arm, under the same parasol, chatting and laughing, exactly as two blondes with us. In a French family of pride and wealth we have dined often with a colored lady, whose hue .was jet black. At first, we confess, it spoiled our appetite, but to have acknowledged this would have subjected us to ridicule and contempt. It would be something they could not understand " why we could not as willingly dine with a black person as a white." But here they are very few, and have never been seen in chains. There is no class of negroes so degraded as their own peasantry. Cor. of California Paper. — Colored Churches in Philadelphia.— There are in Philadelphia about 23,000 colored people. A large majority of them are sober, industrious and intelligent, sustaining themselves by laboring in various ways ; many of them in the capacity of servants, scattered promiscuously over the city. These people have eighteen churches of their own, with an average capacity of 300. Of these 23,000 people, there are 4,000 in communion with these eighteen churches. Those worshipping in Roman Catholic churches do not amount to more than 200, which is the extreme number. The sum total of those who are in church communion, and of those not members who attend worship on Sabbath, does not exceed 7,000. £7" Good temper is like a sunny day ; it sheds a brightness over everything.

THEAUGUST 4, 1864. “All Men are born Free and Equal.” The American people have moved slowly in coining up to the truth of this sentiment announced in the Declaration of Independence. They are however being educated to receive this truth in its practical application to the African race. They have made vast strides in the practical recognition of this truth during the last three years. There is no one aspect of affairs in the United States more cheering and encouraging than the nnionof all religious sects and denominations upon the abolition of slavery aud the complete enfranchisement of the negro. This is what now seems to be fully demanded—place the negro upon the same equal terms with the white man in the army and before the courts; let him cast a ballot as well as " shoot a bullet;" let him enjoy his social, civil and political privileges the same as a white man, When this is done, we believe we shall begin to see the beginning of the end of this cruel war. The old school assembly of the Presbyterian Church lately made this declaration : " We believe the time has at length come, in the providence of God, when it is His will that every vestige of human slavery among us should be effuced, and that every Christian man should address himself with industry and earnestness to his appropriate part in the performance of this great duty." Bishop Mcllvaine, of Ohio, lately uttered the following sentiments in the city of New York: "Let the enfranchisement of our colored brethren be 'a complete enfranchisement.' Let it not stop in the removal of the shackles till 'all' are taken away. If the colored man is fit to be a soldier in the full pay and uniform of our citizen armies, standing at least upon an (quality of danger and trial with the white man in defense of our Government and its blessings,' he is fit to be a citizen under our Government, in full liberty and privilege. We must boldly face and honestly accept that result.' With me it requires no effort. God is leading us to it. All consistency requires it. Our past history is full of inconsistency in that direction. We have never come up to the logical requirements of our Declaration of Independence. God be praised that he is making our path straight." When old school Presbyterians and Conservative Episcopalians utter such doctrines, depend uponit public sentiment in the United States has taken a long step forward in the right direction. The utterance of such doctrines is of more importance than a victory on the Potomac or in Georgia. It shows that a moral victory has been achieved. The people of other lands and countries may discard the freedom and equality of the human race, hut we bless God that there is onecoun- try where the true Scripture doctrine is asserted upon this subject, viz.: that God hath made of one blood all nations of men." "Acts 17:26. This is the doctrine announced by Paul on Mars' Hill, at Athens. This sentiment may be, denied, but it cannot be refuted ; it may be ignored, but its influence will still be felt; it may be overlooked, but it will assert its power. This idea has been hatched, and as some one has aptly remarked, it cannot be put back into the shell! In the Convention, when the Minister of Finance was speaking upon restricting the press, this argument was put forth, that it might be necessary, if a large number of persons should immigrate to this country from free and liberty-loving America. We would quietly ask the gentleman to glance his eye over a map of Polynesia, and we would further ask, upon what group of islands has the kingly authority of the sovereign been better sustained than upon these islands ? Look at Tahiti—look at New Caledonia—look at New Zealand ! This fact is open and patent to the world. Republican Americans on the Hawaiian Islands have staunchly supported the throne, while Englishmen and Frenchmen, representatives of monarchies, have effectually undermined the throne of almost every chief and king of Polynesia, and because they have not done it here (1843-1849) has been partially, at least, owing to the conservative influence ofAmericans. Free Passage of the Naturalists.—We are glad to learn that the Government has furnished a free ticket on board the steamer to Messrs. Brigham and Mann, whenever they are inclined to pss from inland to island of the group in the prosecution of their scientific pursuits. This is commendable, and we could wish the Government might be induced to go one step further. Supposing these gentleman can produce the proper credentials of their ability, we could wish the Government would employ them to make a thorough scientific survey of the islands, similar to those surveys which have been made by some of the nations of Europe, and some of the States of the American Union. A few thousand dollars could not be better expended. They might not discover any coal beds, or gold quartz, but they might tell the world something which would be of importance about our soils, our lavas, our valleys and our mountains. Murder of a Missionary. pained to learn, by an ex" We are deeply India newspaper, that the Rev. tract from an L. Janvier, missionary of the Presbyterian Board, has been murdered. He was attacked by a fanatic, who had threatened to take somebody's life, and meeting Mr. Janvier as he came out of his tent, with three or four blows of a club on his head, destroyed his precious life. He was one of the most gentle and lovely men, a wise, able and successful missionary, universally beloved at Lodiana. where his funeral was attended by thou- High Compliment to the Shipwrights of sands." We copy the above Honolulu.—Capt. Nason, master of the American guano ship Arno, was compelled to visit Honolulu, or some other port in the Pacific, where he could obtain repairs upon his leaking vessel amounting to $10,000 or $12,000. Under these circumstances, for his own sake and his owners, he desired to go to that port where he could get the work done the best and cheapest. Other ports may have their advantages for repairs in ships, but this is the statement which we heard him make before leaving, that he never was in a port (and he had visited many) where ship carpenters accomplished more in a day than they did in Honolulu. A nail or spike driven did not want driving over. A piece of plank once fitted, did not need fitting again. The work on the Arno was done at the yard of D. Foster & Co. The facilities forrepairing ships in Honolulu, are such, that all ordinary rases of damage can be repaired as speedily, thoroughly and cheaply as in any other port in the Pacific. from a late number of the New York " Observer." The Rev. Mr. Janvier went out to India in 1S41, and has been an earnest and successful missionary. We retain a most pleasant recollection of him as a theological student in Princeton Seminary. We were classmates, and from some peculiar circumstances, thrown much into each other's society. He was truly one of those sincere, frank, generous and noble hearted men that was well calculated to act well his part in whatever station he was called to occupy. No longer can it be said that the missionary lives a charmed life. The Rev. Mr. Janvier's death adds another to the list of murdered missionaries. Messrs. Freeman and Campbell, missionaries under the auspices of the same society, were shot hy the Sepoys under the immediate command of Nena Sahib at the period of the great mutiny in India. The Rev. W. L. Lowrie, another missionary of the same Society, was cruelly killed off the coast of China by the Chinese pirates in 1847. All these missionaries were students of Princeton Seminary.

The editor of the London Star thus expresses his opinion of the Confederate vessel, the Georgia. A loyal Yankee could not do more. " The Georgia is not merely a Confederate privateer—an armed vessel carrying the commission of a belligerent power, or acting under letters of marque ; she is British in everything but her flag. The AttorneyGeneral gravely objects to her being called a British pirate, ns a gratuitous dishonor to our country. But our reticence and selfish spirit cannot blind the judgment of the world on plain facts. Delicacy in the use of words is of little advantage when the ideas to be expressed are themselves shameful in the last degree. The well-known truth is that the Georgia is British built and British mnnned, that she was made and equipped in a British port, owned by a British merchant, twice manned by a British crew, and is a living defiance of British law. Till the AttorneyGeneral can contradict these dishonorable facts, nothing is gained by the discussion of a dishonorable degradation. No one in all the world would suppose that the British Government or nation is responsible for the piracies of the Georgia, but she is, nevertheless, a blot upon the British name. Every argument of justice and good faith, of honor and of prudence, binds us to make the utmost reparation in our power to the American Government and people. When the largest allowance has been made for the force of legal pleas—when we have exhausted, as the Attorney-General did last night, the apologies that may be drawn from American jurists and precedents—when we have said all that can be said in defense of our motives and in extenuation of our mismanagement— it yet remains unhappily and undisputably true that enormous mischief has been wrought by vessels of war illegally built and equipped in British ports. The Old Franklin Press.—The Newport, R. 1., Mercury of Jan. 16, says: "In 1850 we sold the old Franklin Press to John B. Murray, Esq., of New York, he agreeing to place it at the Patent Office in Washington or some equally public or safe place, our desire being, not so much to secure the liberal sum offered, as to insure its preservation for future generations, as it was the first press upon which Benjamin Franklin worked. From the time of sale until last week we had lost all trace of the Press, but now we learn that Mr. Murray has decided to present it to the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association, and on Monday next; the 158th anniversary of the birthday of Franklin, the presentation will be made, and the Hon. Robert C. Winthrop will receive it in behalf of the Society. This act pf Mr. Murray will be gratifying to many who have desired its preservation, and although Newport should have retained it, Boston is next entitled to it, for it was there first used, having been sent from England in 1716."

There sat the parrot on the pillow, close to the soldier's face, feeding him; yes, actually picking the bread out of a glass of toast-water near by, and dropping it into his mouth! And the young fellow seemed greatly pleased with the proceeding, and talked to and fondled the bird, as if it were an old friend. " Well, Frank, I see you have a new nurse," I said, stepping in. His face, so thin and white, flushed brightly as he answered, Poll and I are old acquaintances. " Yes; her after the battle of Chickamauga." I lost " Is it possible," I cried," that Poll is your property ? Why, she is the veriest rebel in the land." " I know it," he answered, laughing. " 1 never could stop her impudent tongue, though once she came near getting me arrested for treason. Poll is Southern born, and must have had a thorough secession training." Then he related how, when with his regiment in Mississippi, he had gone on a foraging excursion into the country, and found a planter's house, deserted by its inmates, and the bird nearly starved in its cage. How he hai carried it back to camp, and adopted it for his pet; and it had shown much gratitude, and gone with him through long marches and engagements, all the while shouting insanely for Jeff Davis, to the great amusement of the soldiers, who quite dis« couraged her master's efforts to reform her.

On the terrible field of Chickamauga they were separated, and now the joy of their meeting was very pleasant to witness. said brown-eyes, " I think " Mamma," better of Poll than I did, since I've found she can love somebody, though she won't love me." Our soldier staid with us a long while, and so perseveringly did he train his pet that, before he returned to the army, she had been partially converted from her errors. The young man offered her as a parting gift to the girls, but none of us would think of again parting such tried friends. Poll manifested no regret at parting, but went off screeching a valedictory of " Old Abe's an honest man—honest man ! He makes greenbacks ! Poll's a greenback!" And a letter lately received from Frank Scott contains the pleasing intelligence that Poll has taken the oath of allegiance, and vows to shed her last feather in the Union cause. Ravenna, 0.

The fight waa so short and decisive that one would have thought the Alabama had changed places with one of her unarmed merchantmen. When the Alabama was disabled in her machinery, tbe Kearturgt was run up float to her and poured a destructive broadside which tor* away a whole section of the Alabama'! aide at (he water line, aud let the water through in oaaoadea. The Alabama then turned tail and made for shore. Commander Wioalow hoiited the flag of victory and pursued, but finding the Alabama sinking, he lowered his boats to pick up her orew. Mr. Dayton informed Commander Wioslow that the prisoner* oould not be paroled, but that they might be transferred 10 the 81. Louis, when she arrived, and oonveyed to the United States. Commander Winelnw oliims Captain Seuiuies, and others taken to Southampton, as his prisoners. He had ample niea> a to pick them up, but the English yacht actually stole them, as if by a prearranged plan, thus constituting a olear oaae of intervention. : The newspapers in Europe and America have now a fruitful topic for discussion and gossip. It is a singular event that the noted Alabama should have returned to the British Channel, and there within the gaze of Europe have fought and been sunk by a United States vessel of war. It will affordanother admirable opportunity for Europeans, and Englishmen especially, to indicate upon which side they stand in regard to the great American struggle. It is estimated that the Alabama has destroyed American shipping amounting to 815,000,000. Kings, who once held learning in such contempt that they didn't think it worth while to leani to write their own names, now as- pire to literary honors. The Emperor of France is an author, the King of Holland edits a journal, and the King of Sweden has iust published a collection of poetry. The latter Sovereign sometimes signs himself ' Charles, a literary man,' and it is said that recently on thus registering his name at a hotel in Gothland, the landlord not having a high opinion of literary men, could not conceal a slight grimace. The scribacious monarch, not relishing this sneer at his assumed profession, after his departure sent back the following note to the master of the hotel: intended to stay a week at Calmer; 'butSir—l seeing you did not consider yourself greatly honored by lodging an author, I have returned to Stockholm.* The letter was signed, < Charles, a literary man, and King of Sweden.' In this little transaction one hardly knows which to laugh at most, the King or the landlord." The above paragraph is copied from one of our late exchanges. Now we think, at the Sandwich Islands, we have something more to bout of than the people of France, Holland or Sweden.

" Gain ok England by the Decline of American Shipping.—Within the lasttwoor three years, it is safe to say that a larger number ol American merchant vessels have been changed to British rrgisters than have been launched from our Northern shipyards, and it is likewise safe to say thatthese transfers will continue until the rebellion is subdued. British official figures show that the tonnage of British shipping, entered inwards with cargoes at ports of the United Kingdom in 16363, increased nearly 11 per cent, over that of the previous year. The American tonnage entered inwards at the same ports was 41 per cent, less than in 1862. This return also exhibits the startling fact that during last year no less than 348 American ves- MARINE JOURNAL. PORTHNOLU,FS.I. . ARRIVALS. June 29—Am hark Rtnyrniote, Runlet., 12 days from 8.

SEPTEM BER, I en- dowment was solicited and partially obtained. The Hawaiian Government made over to it two valuable tracts of land, which have real- ized about eight thousand dollars. This amount, added to donations here and in the United States, has created a fund not much less than twenty-five thousand dollars. The American Board of Foreign Missions has always extended a liberal hand to this institution. Just ten years ago (July 17, 1854,) Dr. Anderson addressed a letter to the newly elected Trustees of the College, containing this paragraph : " Without a college, begun soon and in earnest, I believe your community 'will run down,' and we are ready to cooperate with you. But until it is evident that the good sense and feeling of your religious community is decidedly in favor of such an institution, it is useless for us to move towards a President, or even a small endow- H 6 4 . " " ment." We hope our Honolulu and island community has made it somewhat evident thatthey had the good sense and proper feeling upon this subject. Ten years of study, toil and labor by teachers and pupils have accomplished much. Oahu College has become a permanent institution. Whatever changes may be made among trustees, teachers and pupils, Oahu College must live and thrive. It is more of an institution to-day than many of the European universities and colleges were when they closed the first quarter of a century of their existence. It requires something more than money and professors to make a college. Time has much to do in the matter. There must be growth. Ten centuries have made European universities what some of th«m now are. Old Harvard is more than two "hundred years old. The Colony of Massachusetts Bay voted £460 for a school or college in October, 1636, which was the first step. In the year 1700 eleven ministers ofConnecticut brought each a parcel ofbooks, and as he laid them upon the table, remarked: these books for the founding of a col"lege)I give in this Colony." Thus Old Vale was founded. Our young College has had an equally auspicious beginning, and when centuries have rolled away, we trust it will be able to make as fair a show as older institutions. Now is the time to work for Oahu College. We are glad generous friends have come forward. James Hunnewell, Esq., of Boston, is one of them. From a letter written by him under date of May 12th, 1864, we copy as follows : ■ Worldly men, as you are aware, seek out what they deem to be the he* kind of investments of surplus funds. In withdrawing from business I have sought for such, and feel convinced that I shall not receive any dividends that will he valued 1 more than such dividends as I shall receive Several years ago we remember to have read on my investments in Oahu College, in the a very favorable and appreciative notice of Rev.

Young men who were where they have lived, and a fund of facts, on.tnd ere long Punahou School was metamtwphosed into Oahu College. An w I I fitted for college by him always stood well on entering American colleges. The institution under the Rev. E. G. Beckwith was most admirably managed, while under the Rev. Mr. Mills its usefulness was continued. It has been our privilege to know personally all the teachers, and we can bear testimony to their zeal and success. High authority has endorsed the saying that a tree is known by its fruits. The fruits produced at Punahou reflect distinguished honor upon those who have there labored. Among the scores and hundreds who have there been educated we cannot now recall the name of scarcely one who is not now engaged in some useful department of labor, at these islands or in other lands. Some are ministers of the Gospel, some physicians, some lawyers, some teachers, and all acting well their parts in the theater of life. We look forward to a bright future for Oahu College. While wandering about the premises we found our way to the library. This is not what it should be, although it contains several hundred volumes, and most of them are standard works. They have the appearance of being well read, and often referred to. We sat down to the reading of Duyckinck's " Cyclopaedia of American Literature." This is a most interesting work, in two large volumes, containing nearly seven hundred pages each. We were glad that it was vacation, for we could pore over these volumes without being disturbed. We would hereby notify the librarian that we brought them away, and will in due time return them. incidents and anecdotes truly astonishing. We will merely add that the work is published by Scribner, of New York, who is so famed for issuing " books that are books." Should any of our island readers wish to order the books, it may be done through Mr. Whitney. We hope the publisher will appreciate this essentially gratuitous puff! We sincerely wish Mr. Scribner and other American publishers might be persuaded to send a donation of books to Oahu College Library. But we are spinning out a pretty long record of a day during vacation at Oahu College. We seldom, amid the constant pressure of professional duty, enjoy such a day, hence it is the more remarkable in our calendar. We can assure our readers that we have not jotted down a tithe of our musings on that day as we sat in a broken chair, or lounged on the floor. We lived over our life again. We reviewed our school and college days. We thought of college class-mates and professors. We mused over the joys and sorrows of a student's life. For the moment we wished ourself young again. Justthirty years ago we were walking the halls of Amherst, and associating with members who have carved out curious niches in the temples of fame, learning and science. There was the Rev. S. Robinson, D. D., late of Kentucky, but now preaching to a congregation of secessionists in Toronto, Canada ; there was the Rev. B. M. Palmer, D. D., the eloquent Presbyterian Divine of New Orleans, whose preaching "fired the Southern heart," but now, report says, a Colonel in therebel army; �THE FRIEND, there was the Rev. R. D. Hitchcock, D. D., the accomplished Professor of History in the New York Theological Seminary; there was the eccentric Professor of Botany and traveler in South America, Isaac Holton ; there was the Hon. A. H. Bullock, the leading Republican politician of Massachusetts. These were all our class-mates. Well do we remember them as under graduates, and as recitation-room companions. Three of the most prominent ministers of Brooklyn, New York, were at the same perioJ members of the same college, viz.: the Rev. Messrs. Storrs, Beecher and Rockwell. It is among the pleasant reminiscences of one's life to recall the names of those who started with him on life's journey. Our late visit at Oahu College wonderfully assisted our memory in this respect, and we feel half inclined to go again. To all the friends and patrons, teachers and pupils of Oahu College, we are happy to report the premises in excellent order. We never saw them in better condition. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Mills for their thoughtfulness and thrift in managing the financial and secular concerns of the institution, and we hope the future President, whoever he may be, will evince and develop equal ability in this re- three hundred who fought and died with Leonidas at Thermopylae, though they were all inscribed on a pillar at Sparta, long since perished utterly out of the world; but their example remains bright and helpful forever.

The following are most of the points wherein the new Constitution differs from the old : 1. Property-qualification of Representa- tives and voters. 2. The House of Representatives is now combined with the House of Nobles, and united they form the" Legislative Assembly." 3. No member of the Royal Family shall marry without the Sovereign's consent. 4. The law regulating the Sovereign's ability sto alienate the Kingdom, is much more limited now than formerly. 5. Some important changes respecting the Courts and Judges ofthe Kingdom. In fine, the new Constitution is less democratic and more monarchical than the old. The principle of universal suffrage, appears to have loomed up before the minds of the framers of the new Constitution in more hideous and ghostly attitude than did the Ghost of Banquo *.o the terrified Macbeth. " Hence horrible shadow." The Ghost has disappeared from the Hawaiian stage, but what sound is that we hear from over the waters?—an actor on the English stage is exclaiming : " Pr'ythee, see there ! behold! look ! lo ! Pray, what can it be but the same Ghost which has retired from the Hawaiian stage, that is now re-appearing uporrthe English under the auspices of that adroit and able manager, Mr. Gladstone ? We must now wait for the next opening scene, and it is our opinion that Universal Suffrage, as an actor, is yet to play a pretty important part on the world's stage. Shakspeare aptly said, " All the world's a stage, And all tho men and women merely playors." The people, —the masses, —the lower as well as the higher classes, .are coming forward, and their voices must be heard, or the performance will end in "Tragedy," as is now the case in the United States. We close with the remark, that the great bona of contention in that land is not that universal suffrage prevailed, but because it did not prevail! The nation denied this privilege to 4,000,000 of the African race, and now their enfranchisement must be achieved ! 69 TBE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, 1864.

In how many cases did I hear them say, "We should have been dead by this time, but for the Christian Commission men." The reader must not expect me to give him an adequate idea of that work. The delegate gets his transportation to and irom his field (the railroads and Government uniting to furnish it.) Besides that, he gets his board, and what is that ? A soldier's ration, eaten without a table, or a chair, and often without a roof or covering above ; a blanket and a floor to lie on at night. Such was the board at Fredericksburg, such is the expense of the agency. There is no salary, except as there are a few stationary agents, who, while others come for a few weeks, and go, and new men come to take their places, are necessary to give shape, and order, and direction to the whole work. These, of course, are moderately paid. But of the one hundred and sixty at Fredericksburg, when 1 was there, only one or two were in such position. Such is all the deduction from the money raised for the soldier, to carry it from the donor to the sufferer. Can a cheaper agency be conceived of ? Put that trifling cost of work in comparison with the good done, especially to the souls of those beloved, patient, cheerful, suffering, many of them, dying men! Having seen the work, under circumstances which tested it to the uttermost, as to the sort of men it gets, the wisdom of its appliances, and the efficiency and economy of its operations, 1 can say, and I want to say out of my whole heart, that a work more worthy ot the confidence, and affection, and co-operation of a Christian public, especially of every loyal heart and hand, cannot be devised. It is wonderful to see what, from a very small beginning it has arrived at. The sight of itis one of the most refreshing alleviations of the grief of the land, under the tribulations of this awful war and the wicked conspiracy that originated it. Blessed be God, that such a spirit of self-denying love has been given to so many laborers in such a field of suffering! I have come from the great hospital (for all the town almost was a hospital) full 'f admiration of the work of the Christian Commission, and of determination to do all I can to aid it. Charles P. McIlvaine, Bishop of the Diocese of Ohio. May22d, 1864. N. B.—I desire to add, that the Christian Commission has the entire confidence of the Government, and receives all the facilities it could expect from the best sympathies of those in authority. Rev. Eli Corwin. pastor of one of the churches in Honolulu, arrived in this city last Saturday. He comes for health, recreation, and observation. We heartily welcome him. Mr. Corwin was formerly the beloved pastor of the Presbyterian Church at San Jose. We hope our brother will be benefitted by his sojourn among us, in body and mind. The dry air of our interior is decidedly in contrast with the warm, moist, salt air he has been accustomed to. We hope he will not think the people as dry at the atmosphere.—Pacific, July 14. �_ THE FRIEND. $E P T EMBER, ADVERTISBTtTSM-TS. Information Wanted! 71 18 44. APVBRTIS»MggTB- SAILOR'S HOME!

OCTOBER 1, IH6I. MCommerce. isAoindarensg In the March number of the Friend, we published some interesting particulars respecting the timely efforts ol Hawaiian missionaries at the Marquesas Islands, in rescuing the first officer of the whaleship Congress from imminent peril and danger. We are happy to learn that, as soon as the facts were reported by our Minister-Resident, Mr. Mcßride, at Washington, President Lincoln directed Mr. Seward to authorize the expenditure of $500 in gold for those Hawaiian missionaries, a German carpenter, and the native chiefs who assisted in the rescue of Mr. Whalon. We consider this money well expended. Suitable presents will be sent to Marquesas the next trip ot the Morning Star. In our columns will now be found highly important information, furnished by the Rev. B. G. Snow, of Ebon, respecting the loss of the Hamburg schooner Franz and the massacre of the crew. We are assured by the agents, Messrs. Melchers & Co., and the Hamburg Consul, Mr. Heuck.that this information is of the very highest importance. Efforts in vain have been made for years to ascertain the fate of this schooner.

"A German named Groffman, who came here passenger in the bri", Ha?is from Mexico some four months since, was found dead in his room on Monday last, and in a chair by his bedside a tumbler, about one-third full of a Strong solution of Cyannret of Potassium, which is one of the most deadly poisons known. We learn nothing of the causes that led to his poisoning himself, nor of his personal history, except that he had been a Daguerrean artist -in Mexico."—[P. C. Advertiser, Sep*. 10. In those few lines the sad story is told. It is not in our power to add further particulars. We went into the house and saw the room where the poor man ended his career. According to the Rubric of the established Church of England, the Burial Service, " is not to be used for any that die unbaptized, or excommunicate, or have laid violent hmds upon themselves." This rule should doubtless be observed, if no discretion is left with the officiating clergyman to omit, if he may see fit, certain paragraphs of the service. Having never subscribed to observe thatritual, we feel no scruples about officiating at the funerals of those to whom exception is made in the above quoted directions. Indeed our feelings revolt from that old custom of our English ancestors which sanctioned the practice of burying a suicide at the spot where four roads meet, and of otherwise showing disrespect to the remains of a fellow mortal —" bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh!" So far from that, our feelings would rather prompt us to accompany the body to the grave and there drop a tear. We do not believe any suicide ever raised the knife, or mixed the poison without experiencing struggles and qualms to which most men are utterly strangers! Many a man has made the And makes Than rush to others that we know not of. Tims conscience makes cowards of usall." Yet there are some exceptional cases. Some depressed in mind, ruined in fortune and goaded on, it may be, by the stings of conscience, do take that " fatal leap in the dark." Their fate is sad. It is well that we cannot draw aside the veil. In regard to one suicide—Judas—an inspired writer has recorded that he " went to his own place." Reflection upon such sad instances of mortality should lead those more highly favored to cherish the most unfeigned gratitude to Heaven, and see well to it, that they follow the sentiment of the old Roman poet Juvenal, " our prayer should be for a sound mind in a sound body." These are the great requisites to human and rational happiness. Notice to the Friends of the U. S.

W.M.GibsoE I throws all heroes of fiction into the shade. Among person? o! this class may be reckoned the gentleman whose name we have placed at the head of this article. It is well known that at present he is located in a beautiful volley, surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills on the Island of Lanai, lying between Oahu and Maui. Before referring to his present occupation, we will introduce him to our readers as portrayed by the graphic pen of the eminent American author, N. Hawthorne lately deceased. In Mr. Hawthorne's last published book, " Our Old Home," he presents a series of sketches of men and scenes, as they passed under his observing eye, while U. S. Consul at Liverpool, England, during the administration of President Pierce. While officiating in his consular capacity, Mr. Hawthorne, was called upon by a great variety of characters, from the grave divine to the rollicking sailor. Some of these personages are admirably sketched, and among the sketches we met with the following paragraphs. Although no name is given, yet we do not suppose our island readers will fail to recognize the man whom we have referred to as now living upon the island of Lanai: of the same class was a " Anotherofvisitor refined manners, handsome gentleman figure, and remarkably intellectual aspect. Like many men of an adventurous cast, he had so quiet a deportment, and such an apparent disinclination to general sociability, that you would have fancied him moving always along some peaceful and secluded walk of life. Yet, literally from his first hour, he had been tossed upon the surges of a most varied and tumultuous existence, having been born at sea, of American parentage, but on board of a Spanish vessel, and spending many of the subsequent years in voyages, travels, and outlandish incidents and vicissitudes, which, methought, had hardly been since the days of Gulliver or Dc oe. When his dignified reserve was overcome, he had the faculty of narrating these adventures with wonderful eloquence, working up his descriptive sketches with such intuitive perception of the picturesque points that the whole was thrown forward with a of your positive illusive effect, like own visual experience. In fact, they were so admirably done that I could never more than half believe them, because the genuine affairs of life are not apt to transact themselves so artistically. Many of his scenes were laid in the East, and among those seldom visited archipelagoes of the Indian Ocean, so that there was an Oriental fragrance breathing through his talk and an odor of the Spice Islands still lingering in his garments. He had much to say of the delightful qualities of the Malay pirates, who, indeed, carry on a predatory warfare the ships of all civilized nations, and every Christian throat among their prisits Ftralleled Kinst of primitive innocence and integrity. "But his best story was about a race of men, (if men they were,) who seemed so fully to realize Swift's wicked fable of the Yahoos, that my friend was much exercised with psychological speculations whether or no they had any souls. They dwelt in the wilds of Ceylon, like other savage beasts, hairy, and spotted with tufts of fur, filthy, shameless, weaponless, (though warlike in theirindividu.il bent,) tool-less, houseless, language-less, except for a few rattan] sounds, hideously dissonant, whereby they held some rudest kind of communication among themselves. They lacked both memory and foresight, and were wholly destitute of government, social institutions, or law or rulership of any description, except the immediate tyranny of the strongest; radically untamable, moreover, save that the people of the country managed to subject a few of the less ferocious and stupid ones to out-door servitude among their other cattle. They were beastly in almost all their attributes, and that to such a degree that the observer, losing sight of any link betwixt them and manhood, could generally witness their brutalities without greater horror than at those of some disagreeable quadruped in a menagerie. And yet, at times, comparing what were the lowest general traits in his own race, with what was highest in these abominable monsters, he found a ghastly similitude that half compelled him to recognize them as human brethren. " After these Gulliverian researches, my agreeable acquaintance had fatten under the ban of the Dutch government, and had suffered (this at least being matter of fact) nearly two years' imprisonment with confiscation of a large amount of property, for which Mr. Belmont, our minister at the Hague, had just made a peremptory demand of reimbursements and damages. Meanwhile, since arriving in England on his way to the United States, he had been providentially led to inquire into the circumstances of his birth on shipboard, and had discovered that not himself alone, but another baby, had come into the world during the same voyage of the prolific vessel, and that there were almost irrefragable reasons for believing that these two children had been assigned to the wrong mothers. Many reminiscences of his early days confirmed him in the idea that his nominal parents were aware of the exchange. The family to which he felt authorized to attribute his lineage was that of a nobleman, in the picture-gallery of whose country-seat (whence, if I mistake not, our adventurous friend had just returned) he had discovered a portrait bearing a striking resemblance to himself. As soon as he should have reported the outrageous action of the Dutch government to President Pierce and the Secretary of State, and recovered the confiscated property, he purposed to return to England and establish his claim to the nobleman's title and estate. "I had accepted his Oriental fantasies, (which, indeed, to do him justice, have been recorded by scientific societies among the genuine phenomena of natural history,) not as matters of indubitable credence, but as allowable specimens of an imaginative traveler's vivid coloring and rich embroidery on the coarse texture and dull neutral tints of truth. The English romance was among the latest communications that he intrusted to my private ear ; and as soon as I heard the first chapter,—so wonderfully akin to what I might have wrought out of my own head, not unpractised in such figments,—l began to repent having made myself responsible for the future nobleman's passage homeward in the next Collins steamer. Nevertheless, should his English rent-roll fall a little behindhand, his Dutch claim for a hundred thousand dollars was certainly in the hands of our government, and might at least be valuable to the extent of thirty pounds, which I had engaged to pay on his behalf. But I have reason to fear that his Dutch riches turned out to be Dutch gilt or fitiry gold, and his English country-seat a mdfccastle in the air,—which I exceedingly regm, for he was a delightful companion and a very gentlemanly man." The advent and career of Mr. Gibson on the Sandwich Islands, have been enveloped in a mysterious obscurity which has been in perfect keeping with his previous career. We fancy the philanthropic shepherd and farmer of Lanai, addressing us in the language of Othello: " Soft you; a wordbefore you go. I have done the State some service, and they know it; No more of that. 1 pray you in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as 1 am; nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice." We shall try and observe this rule, and our apology for thus bringing Mr. Gibson again before the world, is because he has done too much to be let alone. His career is a part of the current history of the times. We shall now endeavor briefly to state the plain facts, relating to his connection with the Mormons and the object or his visit to the Sandwich Islands. Mr. Gibson, after returning from Europe, endeavored to bring his claims upon the Dutch government before the American government. For this object he spent some time at Washington. A voluminous report of the whole affair was published by Congress. Beyond that report we know not how the affair terminated. While at WashingBernheisel, the Delegate in the House of Representatives, from the land of Brigham Young, or the territory of Utah. He became interested in the history of the Mormons, and the idea flashed upon his mind or took strong possession of it, that it would be a good and feasible plan to induce the whole community ot Mormons, residing in Utah, to remove from the United States or the American Continent and locate upon the great and comparatively uninhabited Island of New Guinea or Papua. For the purpose of carrying out this magnificent scheme, leading men in Washington were consulted.

Perhaps it is a mere fancy ol ours, but it is one we have long indulged, and never pass up the Valley of Niiuanu without having it revived, that the region about the King's premises very much resembles that upon St. Helena, where Napoleon spent the period of his exile. In that case Honolulu would correspond to Jamestown. This fancy of ours was suggested from reading Dr. O'Meara's " Napoleon in Exile," or " A voice from St. Helena." In fact, all the accounts we have ever read of the site of Long wood, and the weather in that part of St. Helena might very well describe the upper part of the Valley of Nuuanu. Down this valley the N. E. trade-winds come sweeping very much as the S. E. trade-winds sweep over St. Helena, and down the valley OBtending back from Jatnestown. The showers and storms in Nuuanu are as frequent and driving as those sweeping over Napoleon's home. Tie weather in Nuuanu is not always such as it was on the day we have now imperfectly sketched. How dreary Napoleon found the weather at Longwood—rainy, blowy, and uncomfortable. Perhaps, however, the stern rule of Sir Hudson Lowe rendered the spot most hateful to the exiled monarch.

After they had killed the company they worked the vessel on shore upon the reef and burnt her. O how I long to learn more of that ill-fated company and of those dear praying ones. Had they only touched a little farther south, where the influence of the gospel is felt, they would have been as safe as in your own harbor at Honolulu. You, and the leaders of the Friend, well know how recently the same barbarities were practiced here on Ebon. Now there is gathered here a little church of thirty-three members, with sabbath schools and day schools and other humanizing, elevating influences. Also on Kusaie, Strong's Island, where I hnve more or less evidence of some four or five vessels having been cut off and all on board murdered, there is now a gospel church there, to which fifty-eight of the natives had been received. And, as you know, they are trying to perpetuate the blessings of the gospel with no teacher but the great and good Shepherd. I hardly know where you can point to more demonstrative proofs of the divine origin of our holy religion than to what has been and is being wrought upon these barbarous and savage islands. As I told the people last Sabbath, we have used no such appliances as the Gadarenes did with those possessed with the devil, yet hands that were quick to steal, and feet that were swift to shed blood have not only become harmless to do evil, but ready and joyous to do good. We have used no candle-burning and bell-ringing appliances. We have only used a few pebbles from the banks of the river of Life, and slung them from our poor pouches of prayer, and behold what salvation God hath wrought. I do wish you would try and constrain those dear English friends, who are trying so hard to reconvert the Sandwich Islands, to take their Bibles and Prayer Books and go down near to our " Boka Bay" country and establish themselves on New Ireland and New Guinea. They can be sure of the raw material there, and will be in no dosibt but that they have the devil himself to contend with. They can gather in their disciples and build up iheir churches with all the imposing grandeur that the circumstances require. Utopian as the proposal may seem I feel in my very heart of hearts that it is worthy of piayerful consideration and immediate adoption.

Ebon, May 19, 1864. Rev. S. C. Damon,—My Dear Brother,— If you have not learned the fact before, let me here communicate to you the sad intelligence that another vessel has been cut off among these islands, and all on board have been murdered. It was sometime during the past year, and at one of our northern islands. The native name of the island is Kongtfik, lat. 11 ° 26' N., long. 167° 14' E. according to Kotzebue. The information is from our Ebon natives who have just arrived from the north. They have not been to that island but have seen natives from there, and obtained many things They deof them taken, from the vessel. scribe the vessel as a schooner about the size of the Maria, which was wrecked on this island.' They were at anchor in the lagoon, and I think it was the second day after they came to anchor that they murdered them and took the vessel. They did it while part of the company was on shore, murdering those on shore first, then those in the vessel. So far as I can learn there was no provocation whatever for the barbarity. It was solely for plunder. And they were greatly disappointed to find that the things they most wanted were not in the vessel, such as tobacco, hatchets, knives, axes, etc.; but on the contrary there was a great dca of clothing, prints, boxes, boo'..s, and I should judge, bariron for blackstnithing, together with a great many China or Japanese boxes. But what makes it sadder to us is the probability that there was a missionary family on board, for they speak of one of the company—and he was not the captain—who read from a book morning and evening, and then stood up and shut his eyes and talked, •' Walt, will' ye witnh the utory. and while he did this all the rest put their Anil ynu ye waters roll," shut is, that sleep, imd went to heads down as pass along by our lone island homes. woman who was they The white Up their eves.

The colors were red on top, white in the middle, and blue at the bottom, running off to a point. The " bottom" and " top" colors might be reversed as they might not know the right side up" of the " flag." It is quite remarkable that Mr. Snow should have so identified the letters on the flag, from a native's report, as he had not seen it. The name identifies the vessel beyond all doubt. We now plead, as we long have formerly done, that the gospel may be |rreached We throughout all the Marshall Islands. hope the Morning Star may at least cruise among those northern islands. Unless we are much mistaken, this schooner, the Franz, was cut off at what are called the Piscadores, where Capt. Dowsett is supposed to have been murdered many years ago. LateWN ar ews. The latest news from the seat of war indicates that the Union armies are striking some heavy blows. Fort Morgan, at Mobile Bay, had surrendered, thus adding,, another to the long catalogue of substantial and permanent conquests of the Union forces. Sherman's capture of Atlanta is complete and decisive. He had marched his army to the south side of the city and cut off the only remaining railroad leading to Macon. The rebel General Hood fled in the night from Atlanta, blowing up nine raujsad engines and destroying eighty-one cswloaded with the munitions of war. It was not known where Hood would make another stand with his array. Grant's success on the Weldon Railroad south of Petersburg is considered very decisive in favor of the Union cause. " John Brown's soul is inarching on,"and we pity those who imagine its march can be arrested until the last vestige of chattelslavery is swept from the earth. It is reported that the screws have so heavily pressed Jeif Davis and his co-rebellionists, that they are willing to exchange a black Union soldier for a white rebel soldier 1 If this.is true it is a most important step. We should not be surprised if the rebels yet tried to make the negroes fight! Only think of a rebel soldier fighting alongside of a " nigget!!" J �THE FRIEND, o (10 78 (Tron tb« fma Frmoclsco PMinc.) LeAsfronmHonolulu. A' young man born at the Sandwich Islands, writes from Caracas in Venezuela, he misses the quiet stillness of his old Hawaiian Sabbath. A young lady, paying California friendo a visit, longs to get back, for she does not find San Francisco so very superior to her island home, and surely, she says, "it is not so civilized." A Honolulu pastor, now present among us, tells a fact of the Fort Street Church of that city, where the congregation numbers three hundred, which we are constrained to hold up as an example to more than one church of our State. He has been there several years. The society stipulated him a liberal salary. They have always overpaid it, sometimes to the extent of a thousand dollars. But, what is best of all, and is the lesson which we would especially commend to Boards of Trustees, church treasurers, pew-renters, and church going people generally, they have always paid it up, plump, round, full, on the day before the beginning of each quarter. We have no sympathy with Shady-side" literature ; we are not among those who are prone to commiserate the ministry on being the worse-treated and paid of all men. We do not believe they are. But it must be confessed, that they are more likely to be thrown Upon the variable impulses of men, and so to be dependent on an uncertain, rather than a fixed and punctual support. Renters of pews, subscribers to ministerial salaries, are | too much inclined to make payment whenever it is convenient, rather than when it is due. Church treasurers are often the best of men, but on that very account, not always the ones most fond of collecting dues. Church Trustees are occupied with their own business, and do not always take pains to look narrowly and promptly after the ways and means by which their pastor is to be " ' kept in fuuds. This Honolulu habit of prompt payment is as valuable to people as to pastor. On the other basis, finances are always in a slip-shod, uncomfortable state. At the close of the year, there will be a great deficiency, to be (hjrown as cold and wet cloth over the and to be made up by a provofimg assessment. Business men who are always behind-hand, are the plague of the street; and we know no reason why men, who are prompt in paying their servants and employees and in settling their accounts, should be lax in matters pertaining to the Church of Christ. On the contrary, we hold that wherever else we may indulge slackness, it is no place to indulge it in or about the Sanctuary. How comfortable and pleasant the Honolulu practice is to the pastor himself, we need not attempt to say. At least, it helps him wonderfully to keep his Master's precept: " Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, and wherewithal ye shall be clothed." In order to secure this habit, it is needful first of all not to have a debt on the church ; they have none at Honolulu. It is needful to promise only what it is intended and ex- pected to fulfil. Better that thou shouldest not vow, than thou shouldest vow and not pay." It is needful that the officers of she " BE* It. 18 6 4. church be prompt and regular, and exact in attending to the collections; they should spare no pains to see that all is right; they should devise ways and means of doing what has been promised ; they should not allow the quarters' dues to go one after the other unsettled. The people, each individual man and woman, should make it a matter of honor as well as conscience to do what belongs to them. One prime rule of the whole matter is—there is one fixed day, when the payment is due, and be sure and make that payment the day before. GeorW ge hitfield. There was a bright, rosy boy, with the blue apron, in an inn, struggling with the confusion of great thoughts within him, which he could not either exclude or comprehend. There was the poor servitor of Pembroke College, choosing the meanest drudgery, wearing the coarsest clothing, eating the worst food and but little of it, standing in the biting frost until he had no feeling in his feet or fingers, and trying hard to fast the whole forty days of Lent. These were the glimpses they had of the childhood and youth of George Whitfield, who afterwards became an evangelist such as the world had never known since Peter the fisher preached at Pentecost. Roused from self-righteousness, and opening his heart to the love of the Saviour, he went on his first work of preaching. Church after church was closed against him, but he went into the open air and proclaimed to listening thousands the unsearchable riches of Christ. The effects which followed were extraordinary. As he stood forth, his young manly countenance seemed to bespeak hearing ; and when once his voice was heard, so exquisitely was it tuned, and so successfully was it wielded, high and low were subject to its spell. Add to his eloquence the earnestness which the heat of holy passion kindled, and they would not wonder at his influence. His powers of description must have been marvelous. Men saw the saencs he painted. David Hume was held enchanted by his eloquence until he forgot to sneer. The philosophic Franklin was moved like a common man; and the artificial Chesterfield was startled for once into an impulse of real feeling, and sprang forward to arrest the fall of the blind beggar whom the speaker pictured on the cliff Alone he went to Bartholomew Fair, and commenced to preach. The showmen gave up their pursuits. A deaf old woman, who had at first obstructed him, was found clambering up the pulpit stairs, that she might not lose a syllable of his sermon. The persons who heard him wept and trembled. The tears made little rills of cleanness down the cheeks of the Kingswood colliers. Children hung upon his lips with loving, earnest eyes ; but perhaps the most touching illustration of his influence was the case of a little boy who sickened after he had heard him preach, whose soul cried out in the pauses of pain, "Let me go to Mr. Whitfield's God." This was not the power of what was called the pocket handkerchief, nor dissembled tears. Whitfield could not help being an orator, but he aimed to be an evangel, and so great was his success that BBBBBBsI he was said in one week to have had a thousand letters from persons who had been blessed by his ministry. His work was preaching, and he knew it. The physicians once prescribed for him a perpetual blister. He said he had tried perpetual preaching, and found it answered as well. When winter came to stop his journeys, he mourned over it like a smitten child ;and when spring returned, he bounded on to his beloved labor. He said he hoped to die in the pulpit, or at least soon after he came out of if. After thirty-four years of successful labor, the evangel gathered himself up for his final discpurse. The people listened long, as if they knew that for another Elijah there waited a chariot of fire. He then requested another minister to speak to them, and with the candle in his hand was ascending the stairs, but suddenly he turned, as if with a sense of mortality rapidly finishing, and of moments more precious than gold, and addressed them from the stairs until the candle burned down into the socket as he held it in his hand. The next morning he was not. In the night the messenger came, and, like his Master, he ascended from a mountain of prayer. Such was George Whitfield, and ages yet unborn, as they read the moral of his life, will bless God for that prince of preachers, that noblest, grandest emblem of the revelation angel flying in the midst of Heaven with the everlasting Gospel of peace. Punshon's Lecture on " Wesley and his — Times." Monument to Gen. Grant—The "hero of Vicksburg" is to have a tmmument, chiselled from the best Italian marble, erected on the spot where the interview took place between him and the rebel General Pemberton, before the surrender of the enemy's stronghold on the Mississippi. The conference was held under a large tree, which disappeared months ago, carried off by curiosityhunters. The monument will be placed where the tree stood. It is a pyramid, says the Cincinnati Gazette, twenty feet high, surmounted wirh a fifteen inch globe. On the principal side is a large American eagle, with outspread wings which cover implements of defence. In one claw it holds the laurels, in the other an American shield, and in its beak a pennant, inscribed, " E pluribus unum." The eagle sustains on its wings the Goddess of Liberty. On the one side of the monument is inscribed : " To the memory of the surrender of Vicksburg, by Lieutenant General J. G. Pemberton, to Major General U. S. Grant, U. S. A., on the 4th of July, 1863." On the other side : " Site of the interview between Major General U. S. Grant, U. S. A., and Lieutenant General J. G. Pemberton, on the 3d of July, 1863." In New Zealand, when a person becomes an habitual drunkard, the fact is published in the pap rs by the magistrate before whom the case may be proven, and all persons are warned against selling the drunkard liquor under the penalty of twenty pounds fine and three months imprisonment • " I haven't another word to say, sir, I never dispute with fools," said a gentleman who was getting the worst of the argument. " No," was the reply, " you are very sure to agree with them." �79 111 X FKI X N I). IM TOB E X , 18 14. Information Wanted! ADVERTISEMENTS.

To all graduates of that institution it is a volume of peculiar interest, and it is by no means devoid of interest to the general reader. It with hints to all of the abounds teachers young. Prof. Edward Hitchcock, the Geologist, was no ordinary man. Some eminent writer has brought forward Franklin as the best type of New England character, flowever great and distinguished Franklin may have been, we should decidedly object to giving him that standing. Franklin was not a religious man. His mind was not devout! Prof. Hitchcock's character would more exactly fill out our beau ideal of an educated New Englandcr. Born in the very heart of New England, and struggling in early life to obtain an education, he finally acquired not only an American, but an European and world-wide fame. He was a self-educated man. This volume furnishes abundant evidence that he might have become eminent in poetry, astronomy and mathematics if he had not chosen to explore the fields of natural science or history. His death occurred only a few months ago, and was noticed in the May number in our columns. This volume was completed only a few weeks before that event. It is the last production of his fruitful pen, for he was a voluminous writer. During his life he published twenty-four distinct volumes, thirty-five sepninty-four papers in scientific and eighty newspaper articles. ■Servant of God, welldone !

B. G. Snow up to May 30th, and from the Rev. A. A. Sturges up to June 27th. Both the American and Hawaiian missionfamilies were in health, at those dates, and engaged as usual in their missionary work. We have been permitted to read letters from those gentlemen addressed to Rev. Dr. Gulick. While encouraged by cases of manifest conversion, yet the great mass of the islanders hold on to theirheathenish and idolatrous practices. The missionary is making progress but encounters many obstacles.

In our last issue we reported the loss of the Lady Washington at Baker's Island, on the 3d of May, 1 o'clock, P. M. This island lies in 0° 13' north lat. and 176° 22' west long. The wind blew from the westward with violent squalls in one of which the vessel went down. The Hey. B. G. Snow, missionary on Ebon, (one of the Marshall islands, lying 4° 39' north lat.and 168= 50' east 10ng.,) thus writes under date of May 3d. * "It came* nearest a wale of anything I have seen in Micronesia, (12 years a resident.) It reached its height about noon yesterday. You would, hardly know the end of the island. Every green bush and shrub is gone. The water tore everything before it. Up to this time the wind had not varied much from the south. It began now to haul to the west." Our correspondent proceeds to give an account of its destructive march, tearing down large forest trees, eocoanut trees, houses, the house of the missionary Aea, and the school house, also breaking a fine boat belonging to the missionary. The water approached nearly up to the missionary's house. Having a distinct recollection of the spot, as it appeared in June 1861, we cm readily imagine the fearful havoc made by the winds and the tremendous rollers coming in from the sea and rolling upon the land.

NOVEMBER 4, 1864. Attention, Friends of the Union Soldiers. The American Ladies in Honolulu, propose, on the Bth, (next Tuesday evening,) to give a Festival and Fair for the benant of the United States Christian Commission. About one million of dollars has already been freely contributed by the loyal people of the United States for this object. There is still a loud appeal for additional funds. It is not the privilege of Americans in Honolulu, and American shipmasters and sailors visiting Honolulu, to fight the battles of their country, but we can and ought to evince our interest in the cause of the Union and Liberty, by generously contributing for the comfort and welfare of the noble soldiers, bravely fighting in the ranks of the Union Army. The men sick and wounded, are compelled to seek temporary homes in hopitals. Let us come forward and generously aid those soldiers, liberally furnish them with every possible physical, social and spiritual comfort. Let every one claiming the proud and honorable name of American, come forward and show that his heart and purse is devoted to this work. In former years, the Sanitary Commission has received generous contributions, —let itbe remembered > that this object is of a kindred nature and equally important. In many respects it it perfectly identical. Most nobly are Americans at home now showing that they are Our Harbor now Resembles the " Olden Times."—The large number of whaleships, in port, makes our harbor present the appearance of '43—'49—'52—'s(Qand those years when Honolulu was known as the whaling port of the Pacific. In our visits among the shipping, we see there has been a great change in the character ofthe crews. Formerly there was a majority of American and European seamen, while now, the crews are largely made up of Hawaiians, and other Polynesians. Not a few are from Guam. Portuguese seamen still abound. It is rare indeed, to meet with a full crew of Americans. It is not always that the officers are all Americans. The war and the demand for labor, have drawn away a large proportion of American seamen. Rev. James P. Ludlow.—Many of the old residents in Honolulu, will remember a young man by the name of Ludlow, who visited this part ofthe world with Capt. Fales. We are happy to learn that after retiring from the sea, he commenced a course of study preparatory to the Christian ministry, and is now preaching in one of the Baptist Churches of San Francisco. We retain a a youth, when most vivid recollection of him, ardent and the and most heartily rejoice that have not been friends high hopes of his disappointed.

Recent news from the United States make* known, that the state-elections go in favor of Abraham Lincoln, for the next President. This is as it should be. The rebellion must and will be put down—liberty must be proclaimed throughout the land. The great question will be decided on the Bth of November, the day of the election, whether the American people desire Union and Liberty, without slavery, or Union and Slavery. The question is to be fairly put. The people understand it, and we have no fears but they will decide right. We are not afraid of the people and universal suffrage. That Abraham Lincoln is the man for President, instead of General McClellan, we infer from the fact that the Richmond papers, London Times, and similar sheets all gofor McClellan ! The Union and Loyal people of America know what they are about! Mr. and Mrs. Brewster.—lt is a matter of much regret to many, that Mr. and Mrs. Brewster, should not have returned at the time they contemplated. Instead of teaching in Honolulu, we learn that they have sailed for Europe, and expect to make the tour of the Continent, spending some portion ofthe winter months in Florence. Their return is deferred until Spring. It is gratifying that in their absence, other schools afford good facilities for our children and youth. Mrs. and Miss Smith's school, in the valley, Miss Armstrong's, under Fort Street Church, and others, are in successful operation. The advantages at " Oahu College " are now of a superior order, and an able corps of teachers is most efficiently pushing or leading their pupils up the hill of science and along the flowery paths of literature.

Children may, will and should play, laugh, run, swim, when they go to the spot where the long heavy swells come rolling up the clean and sandy beach, but it is an admirable place for thought. Sir Isaac Newton, when congratulated on his vast discoveries, remarked ; " I am like a child gathering shells and pebbles round the sea-shore, that are just kissed by the waves, while the great unsounded depths of the mighty ocean lie unapproachable beyond me." Newton would never have drawn this reflection, unless he had often wandered along a sea-beach. The old Anglo-Danish King Canute was taught a good lesson, when with his courtiers he ordered his chair to be placed where the incoming tide soon made the whole party scamper like a group of frightened children. It was not man but God who had said, " Hitherto shalt thou come, and here shall thy proud waves be staid." When the poet Longfellow looks out upon the sea, his musings find expression in language peculiarly sweet and mellifluous: *' HI E S l>, NOVEMBER, 18(4. belief that they were innocent of the crime with which they were charged. An account of the visit of the Daidalus, and that of Vancouver, when he sought retribution, we copy from the recent work of Manley Hopkins, Hawaiian Consul-General in London : " On the 11th of May; in the year of Vancouver's first visit, an English store-ship, the Daedalus,' approached Oahu, and lay off 'Waimea, on the north side of the island. Its advent seems to have produced all the amazement that was excited by Cook's arrival at Hawaii in 1778.

We believe it is much the largest cluster of cocoanut trees on the Sandwich Islands. We never counted them, .(although we once tried,) but suppose there are two or three thousand. These however are diminishing in number. Seldom do we visit the spot without noticing that one or more have been prostrated.

The chiefs of the islands cleared themselves before him of any complicity in the crime; and three men had already been executed by their orders for participation in the murder. However, as Vancouver determined to bring the matter into the light of day, three more men were sent on board his ship and tried ; and after evidence which seemed satisfactory as to their guilt, sentence was passed on them, and they were handed over to their chiefs, by whom they were shot before a large concourse of people. It is true that it was afterwards affirmed that the three men who were thus killed were not the real murderers, and that they were sacrificed to appease the English captain's anger. If this were so, it is to be regretted that so good a man should have made so great a mistake; and that the execution which he ordered should have taken effect count thereof in the 2d volume of Vancou- on innocent victims.

I have thought that I might accomplish this more fully, even as a business man, which the conditions of my health may ever oblige me to be, by removing the place of my abode, and the sphere of my direct personal influence to some foreign field, and where, while still sustaining myself by the pursuit of some regular avocation, do all the good in my power in the community with which I should identify myself, not only by my example, but by as much direct missionary labor as possible, in the way of introducing the Scriptures and religious books, in Sabbath Schools and day schools, perhaps, in every way a Christian layman would seek to do good to his fellow men in New York or elswhere. I have one or two brothers, who will, it is not improbaple, join me in this work, giving themselves entirely to missionary labor, if I can assure them of the advantage of the field, which, in time, I am strongly persuaded I may do, of New Granada, if not of Venezue- la ; I am also in communication with several other young men in the States, irr college and seminary, who arc canvassing the South American field with a view ol devoting themselves ultimately to this work.

The stores are open on Sundays, and the market squares crowded with traffickers, more busy, noisy and gay than at any other time during the week; and, when the day is passed, crowding to the theater, to hear the most popular play of the week, reserved for this especial evening! Can these poor souls be reached ? It affects my heart strangely, to see these thronged churches, markets and streets, and to think, that in all this city there is not a soul to point out to them the " way of life," not a Protestant teacher or preacher, not a single place, not even an upper room, where a few could be called together for a purer worship. I never was in a place before, not even in the so recently heathen Sandwich Islands, where, if I desired it, I could not, some time during the week, find an assembly of Christians. The pall of Roman Catholicism shrouds this fair country in a terrible darkness. How dear to me now seem the Christian habits and devout worship of our beloved Hawaiinns ! A SABBATH SCHOOL AND SABBATH SERVICE. The first Sabbath that I was here I was unwell; so on the second Sabbath I held my first Sabbath school exercise in the office of Judge Culver, the U. S. Minister, who very kindly permits me the use of it for this purpose. My class was two bright little American girls, too young to read, with an outside attendance of three adult people, who helped in the singing, while 1 played on the flute. I read from the Bible, and talked from the text: Suffer little children, and forbid them " not to come unto me," and prayed. It was, to me a solemn and impressive exercise. My heart yearned all day for God's blessing on this my first public religious effort here, on the first Sabbath school class that had ever met in this city. Our numbers have since increased to eight, and we shall, without further delay, commence a more formal service, to which I hope some of the English and American adults of this place may be drawn. We are much incommoded for the want of a suitable room for this service, but are hoping soon to secure the use of a hall, used as a schoolroom during the week. Judge Culver is much interested in the development of this work, and actively exerts himself for its advancement. He claims it as his privilege, faithfully to recognize and represent the religious elements of the nation whose appointed minister he is to this Government.

It is the imperial quarto of the American Bible Society, bound in purple velvet with heavy gold mountings, appropriately engraved, and inclosed in a walnut case lined with white silk. The total cost of this elegant gift is §580 76. The inscription upon the presentation plate is as follows : To AaailUM I.IKCOLHPresident of the United Slates Tha Friend of I'niTersal Freedom, From The Loyal Colored People of Baltimore, Ala token of Respect and Oratltnde. Baltimore, 4th July 1864. Intrinsically valuable as this gift may be, it is of little account in comparison with the sentiment it represents or embodies. It will be properly appreciated by the great champion of emancipation ; it will take its appropriate place in the history of his efforts toward the accomplishment of the grand consummation in which Maryland has taken a leading part. It will form one of the best and proudest memorials it has ever fallen to the lot of any public man to transmit to posterity. The expression of " the respect and gratitude" of our colored citizens is highly creditable to them, and we are glad to chronicle so noteworthy an occurrence.—Baltimore American. Curious Story of a Photograph.—Whea the war first broke out a young man belonging in this city enlisted and carried to the field with him a photograph of his betrothed. He was taken prisoner and confined for a long period in the Libby prison at Richmond. While there one of the rebel officers on duty, happening to have seen the photograph, appropriated it and refused to return it to trie owner. The officer seemed infatuated with the likeness of the northern beauty ; and in order to have opportunity to talk about her, made himself the instrument of many kindnesses to the captive. At last the young soldier was exchanged and in due time joined his regiment. During a recent battle he was at the front, and seeing a rebel officer very prominently engaged in directing his command, the Massachusetts soldier leveled his piece and shot the rebel commander. Our men advanced at the same moment, and on passing the spot where the dead rebel lay the soldier recognized him as the officer who had appropriated his lady-love's photograph. The officer's pockets were searched and the missing picture found. The above is no romance, but a veritable incident among the many curious ones which crowd the history of this war.—Boston Journal. A Sailor in College.—The valedictorian Wesleyan University, Middletown, Ct., Jacob W. H. Ames, Newport, N. H., at eighteen years of age, was a sailor before the mast, not acquainted with much more than his letters. At twenty-four he has graduated at the head of his class, competing with twenty-three good scholars, all of whom, doubtless, have enjoyed the usual educational advantages. at �THE VKI E S I), NOVEMBER, 1864. 86 “Home.” SHwomet, Sad Fate of Genius.—How precious few people in the world know even the name of the author of " Sweet Home," though its melody has fallen upon the ear and rested on the tongue of the million. A writer from Washington, alluding to the lifa»of Payne, and its vicissitudes, says: As I sit in my garret here in Washington, watching the course of great men, and the destiny of party, I meet often with strange contradictions in this eventful life. The most remarkable was that of J. Howard Payne, author of " Sweet Home." I knew him personally. He occupied the rooms under me some time, and his conversation was so captivating that I often spent whole days in his apartment. He was an applicant for office at the time—consul to Tunis—from which he had been removed. What a sad thing it was to see the poet subjected to all the humiliations of office seeking. Of an evening we would walk along the streets. Once in a while we would see some family circle so happy, and forming so beautiful a group, that we would both stop and then pass silently on. On such occasions he would give a history of his wanderings—his trials, and all his cares incident to his sensitive nature and poverty. " How often," said he once, " I have been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, and London, or some other city, and heard persons singing, or on the hand organ playing Home," without a shilling to buy " Sweet meal, or a place to lay my head. the next The world has literally sung my song until every heart is familiar with its melody, yet, 1 have been a wanderer from my boyhood. My country has turned me ruthlessly from my office ; and in my old age I have to submit to humiliation for bread. Thus he would complain of his hopeless lot. His only wish was to die in a foreign land to be buried by strangejs, and sleep in obscurity. I met him one day looking unusually sad. Have you got your consulate ?" said I. " Yes, and leave in a week for Tunis ; I •' shall never return." The last expression was not a political feint. Far from it. Poor Payne! his wish was realized, he died at Tunis. Whether his remains have been brought to this country I know not. They should be, and if none others would do it, let the homeless throughout the world give a penny, for a monument to Payne. I knew him, and give my penny for an inscription like the following: Here lies J. Howard Payne, The Author of "Sweet Horned A wanderer in life *, he whose souks were sung in every tongue, and found an echo in every heart, never had a borne. He died lv a Foreign Land. removed hunger. But I discovered that certain other food of a different quality, such as grape sugar and fruit, would help the tired meat to assimilate, and thus remove hunger. Puddings and fruit tarts are not, therefore, simply flatteries of the palate, but digestive agents; provided, always, they are not themselves made of retielliously indigestible materials. The reviewer alludes to the fondness ofartisans for confectionery, and of patients just discharged from the hospital asking for " sweets" in preference to " good substantial food," as examples of a correct instinct. There is no doubt that in children, in whom the requirements of growth call for a rapid and efficient transformation of food into tissue, the demand for sweets is very imperious, and parents should understand that the jampot will diminish the butcher's bill and increase the amount of nutrition extracted from beef and mutton. A London Merchant’s Care for his clerks. By Rev. H. W. Beecher. pose they had less esprit dc corps ? Do you suppose they were less valuable as clerks ? Do you suppose that they studied the interest of their employers less ? Now, I do not undertake to say that every man shall go and imitate these gentlemen; but I do say that every reflecting man ought to find in such an example some suggestions which should lead him to look about and see if there are not many things that he can do in the care of the young that are under him. An Hawaiian Family in the Woods. In the afternoon, while yet some distance from the town, we were caught in a heavy shower of rain, and put up for the night at some native houses on the roadside. Some of our party here saw native domesticity for the first time, in the country, and found it quite different from the article they had seen in Honolulu. The house in which we lodjfed was of thatch, but large and clean, and divided by cloth partitions into three rooms. The head of the family was a grayhaired native, who with his wife, a kind, motherly old soul, were anxious to make us as comfortable as their means would allow. They broiled us a chicken and made tea from their own stores, and from some hiding place the old woman lugged forth a mysteriously tied up bundle of white native cloth or tapa, from which, after much untying, the produced a knife, fork, and spoon, quite new, and with an air of pride she placed them before the " of foreigners." To be sure, there were three us, but natives in the country seldom use such articles, and she did the best she could. When we sat down to eat, the old man, unsolicited by us and somewhat to our surprise, spread out his hands and reverently asked a blessing. At night, the rest of the family came in from work, consisting of a stout young son and his wife and child, and a daughter of the old couple, apparently about 16. They were quiet, modestly behaved and clean, and as they sat round the table, while the old man, with specs on his nose, read from the big native Bible, it was a pleasant, home-like scene. Some of ojr party, who had been indoctrinated by the Honolulu scoffers into the belief that the missionaries had done no good among the Hawaiians, could but admire and respect this simple, well-ordered native family. After quite a lengthy prayer (in which, as our guide told us, * the strangers" were mentioned,) a hymn w;r very creditably sung to an old-fashioned tune, that carried us back to boyhood's days, among the hills of New England. We slept comfortably on clean, soft mats, and in the morning our inquiry as to the rlmrges for our lodging and entertainment was answered by a shake of the head. " Nothing, ' said the guide. But the leiki (baby) accepted a trifle, and we bid this family of country Hawaiians good-bye. Let us not be understood as giving the impression that such scenes are the rule among the natives ; but that they are to be met with, is true, and the missionaries, so often and generally so unjustly spoken against, should be credited with this occur- There ought, first, to be inculcated a higher sense of the responsibility of those who employ the young to watch for them and care for them. I am aware of the difficulties which are involved in this. 1 would not undertake to say to every employer, " You must take to your house, and have under your personal inspection, the conduct of every young man in your service." That would be pressing the matter unduly. Still, I may be permitted to say that we are not enough responsible for the welfare of those that are in our immediate employment. I think that one of the most interesting sights that I beheld in the city of London was Schoolbrad's great store. I was informed that four or five hundred men were engaged in the manufacturing and sales departments. I was taken kindly through every part of that establishment. There I found that the young men had their rooms under the roof where they did their work. I visited them. They were clean, and airy, and pleasant. They had a little locker with books, and other conveniences that madcthem seem attractive. All the young men had their meals in a diningroom under the same roof. I visited that. It was appetizing to go in there. I went through their kitchen and laundry—for their clothes are all washed in the building. I saw the kind hearted matron that plays the mother to these hundreds of young men. If they are sick, she nurses them ; and if they need counsel, she is at hand to give it to them. I went into the lecture-room. In it was a library. I glanced at the books, which had been wisely selected. I saw the seats and chairs in that room. There they are accustomed to invite gentlemen of science, gentlemen of learning, travelers, and historians, who are glad to give information to the young men. I went into their drill-room— for they have a military instruction. Firearms, and whatever other equipments are needed for the purpose, are furnished by the establishment. Such was the provision that had been made by their employers for these rence. young men. And do you suppose that they Proceeding slowly through more forests were worse young men because so much and brushwood, we emerged towards noon, pains were taken to enhance their comfort and found ourselves in sight of the town of Sugar as an Element of Nutrition.— Children and the lovers of sweetmeats will be under many obligations to Mr. Bridges Adams, who tells them that their taste for sugar is something more than a mere appetite. In a recent paper on the Uses of Sugar in Assisting Assimilation of food, he says : I know by experience the difference in nutritious effect produced by the flesh and tired cattle on a march and those slain in a condition arising from abundant food and healthy exercise. In a former case, any amount might be eaten without the satisfaction of hunger, while in the latter a small amount and elevate their condition ? Do you sup- Hilo.— Carres.

Already nearly 340 pages are printed. About 200 more will be added. We are glad to learn that about 40 pages will be filled up with an English and Hawaiian vocabulary. We also learn that Mr. Andrews intends to append a Hawaiian Chronological Table. This will much enhance the value of the work. The book will appear about April, and be sold to subscribers for $6. Considering the extra cost of printing and binding in this part of the world, we consider this a very reasonable price. We learn that Mr. Andrews will enter upon another literary undertaking when this is completed. Already, we believe, he is collecting the materials. We refer to his attempt to write the life of Kamehameha I. We can think ofno one better able to publish such a work. If executed with ability, that The too will be a great national work. founder of the Kamehameha Dynasty was He has been styled the no ordinary man. Napoleon of the Pacific. Originally a petty chieftain, at the head of a small clan on Hawaii.he subsequently conquered all the islands, and during a period of more than twenty years was the Sovereign of this Kingdom. He died in May, 1,819, less than one year before the American Missionaries landed upon the islands. He was no ordinary man, but possessed great administrative and executive ability. He was ship-owner and ship-builder. He freighted vessels to Chinaand dealt largein foreign trade. We only hope that Mr. Andrews may succeed in the publication of the work. vate We would acknowledge a full fileof the Alta, from Capt. Hempstaad, of the Onward.

He was very decided in his opinion that the "tabu" should not be removed. He argued that if the tabu never had been imposed, perhaps it would not be best to impose it, but as it had been, he would not dare to remove it. He referred very pertinently to the of the French Authorities at the Society Islands. There the French have tried every variety of experiment, in regard to the sale of liquors to the natives, but have finally adopted the policy that it is not besl to allow the sale of spirituous liquors among the Tahitians. This is valuable experience, the more so as the French have always been very cautious about adopting any principle which savored of Puritanism or Missionary ! Before closing our notice of the Legislative Assembly, we cannot refrain from complimenting the translator, who spoke with an ease and gracefulness very impressive. There was a natural appropriateness in his " an adaptation of the action to the words," which made us quite envy the young man's gifts. Bailot-box and Brandy-bottle. Some people argue that Hawaiians cannot be trusted with free access to the ballot-box, but yet those same persons would put into their hands the brandy-bottle. The Sandwich Islands may be comparatively a small Kingdom, but the very same principles are at work here as among the greater nations. We are not afraid of the people. Only educate them and preach the gospel among them, and then give them free access to the ballotbox, but if at that ballot-box they decide that the brandy-bottle should be tabued, or banished, we think their decision should be respected, and the executors of the law should see well to it that the law is executed. No fact stands forth more open to the world than this, that for more than twenty years the Hawaiian people, through their Representatives in the Legislature have voted away the brandy-bottle. Some oT the chiefs, and a rum-party among foreigners, have strenuously opposed the sovereign voice of the people, but thanks to God, as yet they have been most signally defeated. When His Majesty Kamehameha Y. ascended the throne, there was a manifest chuckle among those rallying around the brandy-bottle, " Now we'll have things in our way." Itaffords us much gratification to learn, that a majority of His Majesty's Ministers take what we hold to be correct views upon this subject, and we do not think that we are mistaken in the inference, that His Majesty is far from wishing to see a rum-shop set up in every town and �Hl] village of the Kingdom. We are aware that some in their zeal for the free sale of rum and brandy, argue thatthe foreigner is granted a privilege which is denied to the native. Glorious privilege, that of getting drunk and dying with the delirium tremens We know this is a privilege that not a few have improved, and are improving to their sorrow and ruin. It is a most gratifying fact that or Hawaiians a majority of them, do not esteem so great a privilege, and shame we those who would break down this on xiy, public sentiment among them. Only one foreigner in the Assembly, as we have been informed, allowed his name to be recorded in favor of removing the " tabu." It could hardly be expected that he would have voted otherwise, as he is one of the wholesale liquor dealers of Honolulu ! Hawaiians are setting a noble example to the other nations of the earth. There is no doubt that an overwhelming majority of Hawaiians would say, if the question was fairly put, give us a free ballotl>ox, but do not give with it the brandy-bottle. !

We frankly acknowledge it is refreshing, to meet with such a specimen of a Britisher (and American.) We hope to meet many more of the same stamp.

Wet, cold and fatigued and with nothing but what they stood in, and by stowing themunder and between the thwurts, I succeeded la landing every one without th" loss of a single life. At 3 o'clock A. M., I took mypapers and valise,and a few pieces of salt meat from the cask, I abandoned the ship, beintf thelastman to leave her, aud landed on a dreary desolate coast, not to sleep but to mourn over my tad misfortunes, and blighted prospects, A fire was kindled, whioh In a measure cheered up our lonoly and forlorn spirits, and made our situationappear less gloomy. Wet, tired aud coM,as we were without a dry piece of clothing to put on oar backs, without a shelter and a drlaiting rain falling upon us all the while,rendered our situation as deplorable as can well be Imagined. Daylight soon made its appearance, and with signs of an abatement of the storm. The wreck of what a short time before had been our home, had been driven entirely over the ledge, and lay on a coarse graveHy flat. I went on board the day after our disaster, with two boats crews of my best men. And at flood tide, although she was bilged nn the port side, and her bold full of water, I succeeded In hauling the ship a little nearer theshore, as the swell wouldlift her clear of the bottom, god by watching the seas when they would strike and lift her Hauling on our lines at the same time, we were enabled to lodge her in a more convenient place. The two following days we were engaged in getting what provisions we could, aud on the ..2d, I sent my Ist officer to Fellxtuff and Shantar Bay, to go on board of any vessel thathe could And,and inform them of our aad fate, and ask for Immediate assistance And relief. I will here remark that N. R. harbor has always beenrepresented as being a safeharbor for any ship from any wind thnt may blow, except a S. W. wind. And for the benefit of those whohave occasion to visit this dreary region, I will say that my sad experience has taught me, that it is not as has been represented, a At place for any ship lo anchorafter themiddle of August,and under no circumstanceswould I advise any one to seek shelter in any harbor above Cape Ukory after the 10th of September when tbe heavy gales begin to blow. Capt. Allen of the ship Onward, was laying at Rocky Point, about 30 miles below me, during the same gale, and was obliged to get under weigh three different times to avoid going ashore. But owing to the nuperior qualities of his ship, (of which there are but few such) be barely escaped tberocks. Ho speaks of the gale as being very severe. The Russian l.overninent steamer which was laying at South Head, had three heavy anchors down,and steam up, and dragged at that, and had the gale not abated, she would have soon become a wreck,her fuel being all consumed. In fact, all who experienced the gale, speak of It as being uncommonly severe. On theIst of October our heart* were made glad by the appearance of the Russia American Company schooner Ayan, Capt. Whitney, who kindly came to our assistance, (and to whom I shall ever feel grateful,) offering a passage to myself, oflicers,and crews to Manga,(a settlement in bhantar Bay.) I proceeded to sell at auction what few things we had been fortunate enough to get from thewreck, together with the wreck, for the sum or $»70 ; and on the 2d, emharked and sailed for Munga, arriving there on the 3d.

THANKSGIVING DAY. the Proclamation of PresiAgreeable dent Lincoln, Thursday, Nov. 24th, was observed in a becoming manner, by the American citizens residing in Honolulu, and the numerous seafaring visitors belonging to the fleet of whale ships in port. Mr. Mcßride, the American Minister Resident, invited the attention of Americans to this subject by an appropriate call, published in the Advertiser of the 12th ult. Religious services becoming the occasion were held at Fort Street Church in the morning at 11 o clock. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Gulick. It was an exceedingly interesting and appropriate discourse. A copy has been requested for publication, and appeared in the AdvertiWe present our readers with an ser. outline of the sermon, but would refer them to the discourse, as it appears in full. Although Dr. Gulick is Hawaiian born, and warmly attached to the land of his birth, yet he deeply sympathizes with the people of the United States in their present struggle. Having been educated in the States, and resently visited them, he can of course speak as one who knows whereof he affirms : to The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice ; let the mnltitude of the isle* be glad thereof."—P». 87:1 " We are not left to-day to bare faith, for incentives to thanksgiving. The terrible visitation of war, is bringing to the United States of America blessing* difficult to estimate in their present good and ultimate efTect. We rejoice to-day over the Political Regeneration which is so surely being accomplished in America. During two generations the political heresy has been growing, that States were the ultimate elements of the Union, rather than the people of all the States, and that a minority of states need not submit to a majority. The admission of such a doctrine would have sapped the citadel of Freedom ; and we may well rejoice that rather than submit to threatened anarchy or oligarchy, there was vitality sufficient to resist, and that we have such good reason to hope this resistance will result in forever settling, that the majority rules, limited only by the constitutions mutually adopted. Another political lesson is regarding slavery. This was the interest, to promote which, the heresy of states-rights was especially fostered. This was the spirit-«that but the form ; this the animus—that the cxpres■ion. And as they have been so inseparable in origin and life, together they shall die. The national uprising is virtually against both, it matters not what form the struggle takes. If the first be destroyed the last must alto die the death. Half a million of patriot graves attest the -arnestness of the North, and also tell the 1864. character of the evil they resist. Like the loul spirit rebuked by Jesus, this Dragon, in being exorcised, has rent America sorely, and filled the world with its infernal uproar ; and for a time it left Columbia as one dead, insomuch that all the tyranny loving, and many even of the ostensible lovers of liberty, exultingly said, she is dead. But the Lord took her by. the hand, and by a most wonderful series of providences is lifting her up, and she is arising, and she will soon take tier place among the foremost of earth's nations. We pray the Lord to carry on his work till slavery be utterly dead, and till it cease to be, if it ever has been a glittering generality that' All men are born free and equal.' We also rejoice to-day over the Heroic manhood—the Social Regeneration, which is being developed in America by this war. Led on by no trickery or force, because themselves the arbiters, the loyal majority have, from stage to stage, deliberately sacrificed their property and lives to maintain the most precious of political principles. This is producing untold good. It is bursting the sordid chains of the love of gain, and is making men. Steadily as the war progresses does the standard of patriotism rise, advancing as the heroes multiply. No age or nation has more noble names than America already numbers as developed by this war, and who will be watch-words for future gen- erations and other lands. Not the land alone, but the rolling ocean, has been the theatre of deeds, in harmony with its own grandeur. The character of multitudes of sailors during this war has elevated this profession, and given us new reasons for honoring those who do business on the deep. What unfading glory is the record that no sailor in the U. S. Navy, on the breaking out of the great rebellion, proved a traitor to his country. The starry banner has grown more brilliant and precious since the Cumberland sank unsurrendered. That last booming gun, fired in stem defiance as the eagle touched the wave, has found its echo in every American sailor's heart. We rejoice that we here to-day mingle our thanksgivings with so many sons of the ocean, brethern of those who have manned Uncle Sam s web-footed pets, and with such wonderful daring have reduced so many of the seaport citadels of treason —who have swept the name ofrebel from the Father of Waters—and who only ask the privilege of honoring every rebel craft that floats as the Kearsage, the Alabama. We thank God that there are thos>e among you ranged under the higher banner of glory and love. May grace be given us all to fight the good fight, and lay hold on eternal life, with the same violent determination with whicl your comrades have wrested victory on the wave! Our third general cause for joy to-day is the Religious Reviving that America is ex- periencing. A theoretical and practical education in religion, is this baptism in blood r No more let America be taunted with having developed the infidel and licentious instincts alone of democracy. Even a democratic government, under the tutelage of God's providences, while it retains all its individualized manhood 1and independence, learns to carry itself reverently. The fact thatall the causes of benevolence and philanthropy, and education for home and abroad, even to the cause of Christian missions to heathen lands, have not only been sustained, but increased, during this unparalleled war, is, to a thinking mind, most singularly significant of this religious reviving. A national coin has at last been issued with the motto " God our trust." Under the discipline of war, the united North gladly responds to calls, such as no President before made in frequency or kind, to observe days of praying and days of religious racing. A yearly day of Thanksgiving, has at last become a national institution. To-day, how glorious the sight, through the lurid smoke, of a nation on its knees I And we have rejoicings for our own Sunny Isles. Though much has transpired over which we grieve, we rejoice in the wonderful providences by which the nation has been brought to where we now find it, so capable of appreciating the principles of freedom, and of sustaining Christian institutions. We rejoice over another year for proving ourselves true to the enlarged christian patriotism, brought from America, and learned from our Bibles, in endeavoring to be among the most faithful friends of the Hawaiian Nation, and the most consistent supporters of the Hawaiian Throne; It is with thankful pride we point to die fact that since the commencement of the war, nearly twelve thousand dollars, in the currency of America, have been contributed from these islands to the Sanitary Commission. And by one, scarcely preconcerted effort, the ladies of Honolulu have within the last month been the means of raising fifty-five hundred dollars for the Christian Commission. Finally ; Thanksgiving is a christian idea, and as such cannot be bound to any clime or The idea will spread from land any race. to land, and nation will yet join with nation in a yearly Thanksgiving. Improbable as this thought may at first seem, it is to be expected, that the whole world will yet keep Thanksgiving Day. When rails and wires, and Bibles—steam, and electricity, and Christianity—shall have brought the remotest regions more nearly together than different parts ol the same nation were a short time since, this will be (he most natural of all the possible developments of christian civiliza- tion. We give thanks to-day, that another year of humanity's fighting and groaning, and working, and praying, is "numbered with the years beyond the flood ; " and that the Angel of Christian Progress is so hastening its wing round and round the earth that our souls can at last catch those distant glimpses of the Latter-day glory, and our ears almost hear the faint prelude to that final and eternal Thanksgiving—in which Cod grant vvn may all join—when " every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them," shall shout, " Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever." Congress meets to-day at Washington. In about two weeks look out for the President's Message, �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1864. Cheering News!-“VoxPopuli.” The people have spoken. ABRAHAM LINCOLN has been re-elected President by an overwhelming majority. The people's vote in his favor is much larger than even his most sanguine friends dared to predict. There has been a second uprising of a great people. They have pronounced in favor of Liberty, Freedom, Law, Order, Union, Right. Truth, and against Slavery, Secession, Misrule, Anarchy? Disunion, Oppression and Rebellion. Poor “Jeff.”—The Rebel editors have now taken "Jeflf" by the ears, and they are giving them a worse pulling than they ever received from the Yankees. Read Daily Alta of Nov. 12th. It appears that he is traveling through the South, and trying to revive the fainting hopes of the Rebels. He denounces Governor Brown of Georgia as a scoundrel, and otherwise discourses not much liking of Rebel ears. In one of his speeches, he makes the following admission : " It is not proper for me to speak of the number of men in the field ; but this I will say—that two-thirds of our men are absent; some sick, some wounded, but most of them absent without leave. The man who repents and goes back to his commander, voluntarily, appeals strongly to executive clemency." to the How do you Spell Negro—with One or Two G's ?—That tells the story. Four years ago, Mr. Seward said no one could be President who spelt negro with two g's. There is just this difference between Lincoln and McClellan. The former writes negro, the latter nigger! The great struggle in America may be brought down to a very small point—but that is a most vital point. Is the negro a man or piece of chattel-property ? The noble armies of Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Banks, say that he is a man. Voters for Lincoln say he is a man. The armies under Lee, Hood and Price, say the negro is a chattel. Voters for McClellan echo the same sentiment. Do you, reader, spell negro with one or two g's ? Mr. Perry's Studio.—A visit to this department of the Fine Arts, will convince one that we have a painter amongst us. A look at a good portrait almost makes the beholder feel like casting ambrotypes, photographs and daguerreotypes aside, and falling back upon the good old way of the masters of the brush. We are glad to learn that some of the Royal Family are thinking of giving employment to Mr. Perry. A poor portraitpainter is among the most undesirable of characters, but a good one is so rare a personage, that those who are able may well afford to spend upon him their surplus funds. Free Trade between United States and the Sandwich Islands. On the 14th of October, the Hon. J. H. Mitchell, in the Senate of Oregon, introduced a Resolution advocating Free Trade with the Sandwich Islands. He accompanied the Resolution with a lengthy speech, portions of which will be found in the Alta of Nov. 13th. We notice that he makes honorable mention in this speech of Chief Justice Allen and the late Chief Justice Lee. The speech is worthy of perusal. . Most Afflictive Providence. —In the list of deaths, found in another column, may be read that of Young Landers. Under the circumstances, it is certainly one of the most afflictive and trying that we remember to have become acquainted with. We retain a distinct recollection of the youth, as he visited Honolulu on his way to the whaling ground. We were introduced to him by his father. We grieve to learn the fate that awaited ihe youth. While obeying an order given by his father, (accompanied with the caution not to fall overboard,) theunfortunate youth is sud$5,500 for the Christian Commission.— denly taken out of this world, and that father The Ladies' Fair, which came oflf on the evenings of the Bth and 9th of November, was a most successful enterprise. The American Ladies in Honolulu, and on other islands, have succeeded beyond their most sanguine expectations. At first they only reckoned that it would be possible to raise a very few hundreds, but their receipts how foot up thousands ! An amount in gold has been received, which invested in exchange, enables them to send forward a draft f0j (55,500) five thousand and five hundred, doIlars ! When we consider the limited American community on the islands, we are very much surprised to learn that nearly $18,000 could have been raised for the Sanitary and Christian Commissions. stands upon the quarter-deck utterly powerless to render saving aid, to rescue his son from a watery grave. Father and son gaze at each other for the last time, the former powerless to aid, and the latter struggling with the rough elements. The barerecital of the scene sends a pang of sorrow through every fibre of the soul. Most gladly, if in our power, would we administer comfort to the sorrowing and afflicted father, who can only exclaim, in the anguish of his soul, in the language of David, " Can I bring him back again ? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me." This is one of those afflictive and trying providences when the sorrowing ones can only lay their faces in the dust, and submit to the will of Heaven, trusting that hereafter God shall make plain what at the present time seems wrapped in profound - Most 93 $12,000 for the U. S. Sanitary Commission.—We learn from A. J. Cartwright, Esq., that nearly $12,000 has been raised during this and former years for this noblest ofcharities. It speaks well for the Americans scattered over the Sandwich Islands, and those visitiag our shores, that they have so generously remembered the sick and wounded Union soldiers, and the rebel soldiers too, when captured. Hawaiian Rice.—An excellent quality of rice is now being cleaned and polished at the mill of Mr. Prendergast. We are glad to learn that the rice-growers this year are receiving a good price for their rice, in the San Francisco market. The natives on Kauai appear to be determined to supply the market with this product. From what we can learn, Mr. Knudsen deserves much credit for the encouragement which he offers to the native rice-growers. We sincerely hope that hereafter rice may always be cultivated. mystery. General Sherman. —The movements of this General seem to dazzle the eyes of the friends of the Union, and bewilder the Rebels. He has destroyed the railroad north of Atlanta, burnt that city, and with 40,000 soldiers has started for parts unknown. It is supposed that Charleston or Savannah is the point of his destination, although that is a matter of great uncertainty. Some suppose that he has gone to liberate the Union prisoners at Andersonville, in Georgia. Bonfires, Illuminations and Rejoicings. The news of the re-election of Abraham Lincoln, called forth on the Ist of December, a genuine burst of enthusiastic congratulation.

No. If—if it is so, let the truth be broken slowly as may be to the gentle-hearted mother. The mother goes quietly and alone to her poor boy's deserted room. If she had suspected any thing before, she knows all now. God help her ! Such faintness, such sickness of soul can come to us but a few times ere we die. God be thanked for this ! Death itself is nothing to the dying still in life. George's room is but little changed. It was always neat and orderly, and is so now. He left it so on purpose, thinking of his mother. But some things arc gone*—his best clothes, his portemonnaie, his little writingcase, a book or two are missed. Is his Bible gone ? Thank God!—it is. 0, there is some consolation—a little softening of the anguish in this The mother prays : " God ofthe Bible ! God of the wanderer! bless my boy ! Save him ! 0, save him ? For the sake of the beloved Son of Mary, hear a mother!". The mother's face tells the father ail. '•God help me !" he exclaims. Was I severe to the boy ?" he asks himself. " O, that I had been more gentle, more considerate and patient! Have I driven out mine own son—him whom I loved ?" He hastens after him. Which way f Where ? To the nearest city. Arrived there, where shall he go ? To the wharves, to the ships, to all his acquaintance. He advertises; he inquires of every one who may by possibility know any thing of the wanderer. In vain. But he must search on. He cannot return to the broken-hearted mother without tidings. They come at last. In another city, George has shipped for a long sea-voyage. Blessed news ! He is still alive. He may be found. The vessel may not have sailed, and the son may be regained and persuaded back to home and love. But O, if the father be too late ; If the vessel with George on board should have ! " sailed! He is too late ; the vessel has sailed. " When will the ship Julia return ?" "In three years." " What a voyage! In three years the boy will be a man, and have forgotten us all. Three years without him will bow me to the earth. Ah ! it will not take so long to break the tender heart of her who bore him. Three years, did you say, sir?" the father again inquires. " She's bound on a three years' voyage," was the reply. " Have you any one on board ofher ?'' " A son." " Wait a minute. The ship has lieeii spoken. We've news from her." The father listens. The record is read. Latitude and longitude given. Julia, one day out from New Bed" Ship ford, George Allen fell from the mast-head to the deck, and was instantly killed." What is the matter ?

How can I break her already smitten heart ? O, God, be with her and support her!" Do you question more concerning poor George's death ? I have told you all that could be learocd. And surely his fate is enough to teach you contentment and patience in your lot; to warn you against the sin and folly of boyish wilfulness and selfseeking, and enforce anew the command.

Tbe ship Onward, Allen, lea the Sandwich Islands April 23th, had a pleasant passageup to the Kurite Islands. Passed through the47th pssssge the Oth of May. Saw tbe first whale tbeloth of May* W milei N ■ w of Jonas Islands. The Ice at that tisne was packed and heavy. We sustained no damage of any consequence, more than the loss of copper, *Vo. Took our first right whale May 17th. and last in Shantar Bay, Oct. 4th, making 19 In all. Arrived In tbe Rays August 10th, found the ice very heavy, which lasted until Sept. 4th. Tbe weather in the Bay sssd south part of the Sea, has been unusually ragged this year, worse (ban I ever experienced before, with thick fogs, rains, and frequent N. s>. gales. Few whales, very wild and hard to catch. Ships, as a general thing, bare not done very well, owing to the unusual amount of bad weather, which has also caused the loss of a number of anchors, chains, boats, whales,«kc. Therehas also been one vesseUost In N.K. Harbor, in a heavy gale from IV. K. to 5.8., the bark Mary, of New Bedford, Capt. Thompson. Tbe gale that the Mary was lost in, which was on the 18th of Sept. was the worst gale that I ever eapwlasfctd, ranging from Northeast to Southeast, with a trsmaaduos swell and sea on. I was anchored under Rooky Point, whlen Is some twenty miles from Northeast Harbor, wheu she wa* lost, aod in eyery way considered It a better harbor for a ship; bnt my anchors would not hold tbe ship-, I . had to get under weivh no lest thin three timet lo the gale. to •ave my ship, and could carry no more canvads than a close reefed main top-tall and storm slay-sails. This [ale blew with great violence for tbe mott part of three days. I stayed Id the bajt until Oot. 11th. On the »th of October, I took Capt. Thompson and his whete crew from Munuga, a small Russian whaling, settlement In Shantar Bay, where be waa carried by a Russian schooner, I carried them to Felixloff Harbor, and Capt. Mahimen, of ship Oregon, and Capt. Vauxpree, of the Guit&ve, kindly took a part of the men, and showed themselves true friends in time of need. I had a long passage across the Ochotsk bea, with very bad weather, and came out of the 60th Passage the28th of October. Had a good passage of 10 daya down to the Long, of lot D W., and Lat. 32 N., and then had a fresh gale from the South, which lasted five days, then took light E. 9.

JANUARY 3, 1865. New Volume—The XXIId. One year ago, when the Polynesian was discontinued, it left The Friend, as the oldest published newspaper in the Pacific. A review of our file, from January, 1843, when its publication was commenced, is very suggestive respecting the changes which have taken place during the last twenty two years in Polynesia, Hawaii nei, and upon the western coast of North and South America. The early volumes of the Friend are becoming more 'and more valuable as depositories of historical events. As such we often receive applications for them. We enter upon another volume, hoping that contributors, subscribers and donors will be as favorable as in former years. Very numerous are the assurances that our little sheet is welcome among seamen, for it is for them that we mainly labor to publish an entertaining and useful paper, and if our general readers also find entertainment, we feel doubly paid for our labors and toils in the editorial dtpartment. Wishing all our readers, on ship and shore, at home and abroad, a Happy New Year, we enter upon the year 1869. A Word to Subscribers. —If any Honolulu or Island subscribers fail to receive their papers regularly, we hope they will report to the Editor. In our last issue we expressed the opinion that liquor sellers ought in justice to be taxed to support the paupers made so by the use of intoxicating liquors. We little imagined that an important step in that line of legisla ? tion, would so soon be taken by the Legislative Assembly of this kingdom. We learn that the Minister of Finance, Mon. dc Varigny, has brought forward a bill, prohibiting liquor dealers collecting their liquor debts in the Courts of this kingdom. We should only be too happy to learn that such a law had been passed. It would be easy to adduce facts upon this subject, showing that men in Honolulu had been literally robbed. If however men will put their heads into the lion's mouth, they should be thankful to escape with their heads on their shoulders although minus theirhard earnings. The way scores are run up at the counter of a liquor shop, would astonish some prudent people. Many a man in Honolulu, has had a bill presented to him, after an evening spent in a liquor shop which has made him stare ! But what could the poor unfortunate do ? Pay it of course, if he had the means. We sincerely hope the Legislature will doall in its power to rectify the abominable practice which has hitherto prevailed. Latest American News.—The "Yankee" arrived January 2d, 17 days from San Francisco, bringing news to the 15th ult., including a copy of the President Message, delivered to Congress on the 6th ofDecember.

TALES OF A VENERABLE SAVAGEOR Translated from the French of Jules B»my, AHnHCcoiisterbtuohrysf awai . BY PRESIDENT ALEXANDER, OF OAlll' OOLLBQE Introductory. One evening in the month of March, 1853, I landed at Hoopuloa, on the west coast of Hawaii. Among the many natives who ran to the shore, to bid me welcome, and to draw my canoe upon the beach, I noticed an old man of middling height, with a chest well developed, and whose hair, which seemed to have been light, was grizzled by age. The countenance of this old man, which had an expression at once savage and attractive, was furrowed on the forehead by deep and regular wrinkles. His only clothing was a striped cotton shirt. A kind of veneration with which his countrymen secned to regard him, only increased the desire which I immediately felt to get acquainted with this old islander. I was soon informed that his name was Kanuha, that he was already a stout lad when Alapai* died, towards 1752, that he had known Kalaniopuu*, Cook and Kamehameha the Great. As soon as I learned his name and his extraordinary age, I approached Kanuha, extending to him my hand. This attention nattered him and favorably dispoted him towards me. I immediatelyresolved to take advantage of this fortunate meeting to obtain from an eye witness positive information in regard to Hawaiian customs before the arrival of Europeans. A hut of Pandamis had been prepared for me on the lava by the care of a missionary. I caused the old man to enter and invited him to. share my repast of poi,* cocoanuts, raw fish, and baked dog. While eating the poi by fingt rs-full, Kanuha declared to me that he had lived under King Alapai, whose runner he had been as The name of Alapai, a great Hawaiian chief, Is not found fa the genealogy published by David Malo. Now we know for certain by the statements ofour old man, and from the accounts of other Intelligent; natives, that Alapai reigned as supreme chief of Hawaii, Immediately before Ealanlopuu. •Kalelopuu is the same as Kalantopuu.

Such was the vigor of Kanuha in his youth, that at the command of his chief, he lad in a single day traversed the distance from Hoopuloa to Hilo, more than forty (120 miles) French leagues. When Capt. Cook was killed in 1779 the grand-children of Kanuha's children were born. When I spoke of Alapai to my old savage, he told me that "he was to him a thing of yesterday,"of Cook, he was to him a thing of to-day." Accord"ing to these data, it is allowable to estimate that Kanuha was not less than 116 years old at the time when I met him. This remarkable example of longevity was not the only one on the Sandwich Islands some years ago. Father Marechal knew at Kan in 1844, an old woman who distinctly remembered to have seen Alapai. I had an opportunity on Kauai of conversing with an islander, who was already a grand-father when he saw Capt. Cook die. I sketched even at Hoopuloa the likeness of an old woman, still quite vigorous, Meawahine, who related to any one who wished to hear her, that her breasts were fully developed when her chief gave her to the celebrated English navigator. The old Kanuha was the oldestof these centenarians. I took advantage of his excellent disposition to draw from him the historical treasures with which his memory was stored. Here, in an arrangement made by myself, is what he told me during a night of conversation, interrupted only by the Hawaiian dance (hulahula), and pipes of tobacco smoked around, according to the custom of the country. Next follows a description of the state of society in the Islands in ancient times, which contains little that is new, except in regard to the priestly caste. Priests. The priests formed three orders, kahunas proper, kaula or prophets, and kilo or magicians. The priesthood proper was hereditary. Priests received their title from their fathers and transmitted it to their children, male or female, for the Hawaiians had also priestesses. The priest was on a level with the nobles. He had a portion of land in all the states of the chiefs, and was sometimes so powerful that he rendered himselfformidable to the Alii. In religious ceremonies priests were clothed with an absolute power, and designated victims for the sacrifices. This prerogative gave them in private life an immense and dangerous influence. Hence this Hawaiian proverb, " the priest's man is inviolable ; the chief's man the prey of death," ke kahuna kanaka, o ko ke " aole c make komake." alii kanaka ke The kahuna being clothed with sovereign power in the exercise of his functions, it was to him alone that it belonged to point out the victim capable of the wrath of the gods. The peoappeasing ple feared him greatly on account of this prerogative, which gave him a right of life and death over them. Hence it resulted that the priest had constantly in his service a multitude of men and women entirely devoted to him. It was unseemly for him to choose victims from among people who paid him all imaginable attentions. But if there was any one among the servants of the chiefs, who gave umbrage to the priest or his partisans, nothing more was needed to cause such or such a servant of fhp highest chief to bo put death. Hence it can be seen how dangerous it was not to enjoy the good graces of the kahuna, who by his numerous train was even in a position to revolutionize the whole country. History furnishes an example of this in the kahuna, Kaleihokuu of Laupahoehoc. He had under his control so great a multitude of partisans that one day and one act of his will sufficed to put to death the high chief Hakau of Waipio, and to substitute in his place Umi, the poolua or bastard son of Liloa, but adopted son of Kaleihokuu. We see another example of this formidable power in the kahunas of Kau, who killed the high chief Kohookalani in the neighborhood of Ninole, by causing a huge tree to be rolled upon him from the top of the pali of Hilea. The kahunas, especially those of the race of Paao, were the natural depositories of history, and received the venerated title of moolelo or historians. There still exist several individuals of this race; they are all highly respected by the natives, and are regarded by them as chiefs of the sacerdotal and historic race. The priestly order has its origin in Paao, whose descendants have always been regarded as " kahuna maoli." Paao had come from a distant land called laldki. The old historian Namiki, an intelligent man, and versed in the secrets of Hawaiian antiquity, has left precious and unedited documents, whichhave fallen into my hands. His son Kuikaua, (Zephyrin,) school-master at Kailua.of the true historic-sacerdotal race, has given us a genealogy of his ancestors, reaching without interruption to Paao. Many chiefs say that the genealogy of Paao was more correct than that of the kings. Common tradition reports that Paao came from foreign countries to land on the N. E. coast of Hawaii, at Puuepa in Kohala, at the place where are to be seen at the present day the remains of the Heiau of Mokini, the most ancient of all the temples, and which he has to the credit of having built. The arrival of Paao and the erection by him of this heiau, are so ancient that the old men say that it was the Night that built the temple in conjunction with the priest. " Na ka po i kukulu ac ia Mokini, ana Paao nae." These expressions in the native language indicate the high antiquity of Paao. There exists a tradition given by Jarves, according to which Paao landed at Kahoukapu before the reign of Umi. According to the tame author, Paao was not a kanaka, but a man of the white race. However that may be, all agree in saying that Paao was a foreigner, and a Naauao." To build the temple of Mokini "which served also as a city of refuge, Paao caused stones to be be brought from all sides, even from Pololu, a village situated four or five leagues from Mokini or Puuepa. The natives forming a line along the whole road, passed stones along from one to the other, which seems to have presented no difficulty at that time, on account of the dense population in the neighborhood. Paao has always been considered as the first of the kahunas. It is for this reason that his descendants, independently of what are regarded as Mookahunas, i.e. of the sacerdotal order, are most assimilated to the nobles by the people, and venerated by the chiefs themselves. There are near Mokini, certain rocks which are regarded as petrifactions of the canoe, paddles, und fish-hooks of Paao. At Pololu, towards . the mountain are found fields of a very beautiful verdure. These are called the grass or hay of Paao, (" na mauu a Paao.") The old priest cultivated these fields himself, where no one since has ever dared to carry the mattock or the pick-axe. If a native were impious enough to cultivate the field of Paao, the people are persuaded that a terrible judgment would be the inevitable consequence of this profanation. Destructive rains and furious torrents would be sure to ravage the neigh-boring fields. Some Hawaiians assert that there exists Another sacerdotal race than (hat of Paao, even more ancient than it, hi which the priests belonged at the same time to a race of chiefs. It was the race of Maui, probably of Maui-Hope, the last of the seven children of Hina, the one who took the sea monster Piimoe. The origin of this race, to which Naihe of Kohala claims that he belongs, is fabulous. Since the reign of Kamehameha, the priests of the order of Maui have lost the favor of the " powers that be." The second order ofclergy consisted of kaula, inoffensive, and highly respected people, who gave way to their inspiration from time to time to make unexpected and unasked for predictions. The third order which is related to the clergy is that of kilo, diviners or magicians. Besides these may be placed the kiloktlo, kahuna lopauu, and the kaltuna unaand, a kind of doctors whom they regarded as so cerers, and to whom they attributed the power of causing death by virtue of witch-craft and sorcery. The kahuna anaana and kahuna lapaau were never considered as belonging to the high rank of kahuna maoli. The kahuna anaana or sorcerers inherited their functions. These were heartily detested, and the people always feared them and fear them to-day. When the chiefs were displeased with a sorcerer they caused his head to be cut off with a stone hatchet, or precipitated him from the top of the pali. The physicians were of two kinds. The first, the "kahunu lapaau," properly so called, comprised all who used plants in the treatment of diseases. In the same way as sorcerers knew poisonous vegetables, physicians knew simples which furnished them remedies. The second class is that of spiritual physicians who had different titles, and seem to have been intermediate between the priests and magicians, sharing at the same time the attributes of each. They were the " Kahuna Uhane," doctors of "revenants" and ghosts, "Kahuna Makani," doctors of vapors, "Kahuna Hoonohonoho Akua," who caused gods to descend upon the sick, "Kahuna Aumakua," doctors of diseases caused by evil spirits, "Kahuna Pele," or Priests of Pele, the Goddess of volcanoes. All the doctors of the second class are still found on the islands where they have remained idolaters, although for the most part they have been baptized. There is hardly a native who does not have recourse to them in preference to foreign dectors.

JIMIRI, 1865. 3 III.: A Boston Notion not to our Liking. Generally we are pleased with Boston Notions, but recently one has been' reported in some of our religious exchange papers, not much to our liking. It appears that the First Congregational Church of San Francisco, being without a Pastor, invited the Rev. Dr. Stone, of Park Street Church, Boston. He signified his willingness to como. The Reverend Divine has been a Chaplain in the Army, and preached for a lin* to the soldiers at Newbern, N.C. Doubtless laboring abroad has led him to believe that there are needy fields out of New England. It becoming noised abroad that Dr. Stone inclined to co.ne to the Pacific coast, a grand Ecclesiastical Council was summoned, at which more than thirty churches were represented. A majority ot the delegates decided adverse to his leaving Boston. The reasons are not stated, but it is%asy to imagine what they were. Some years ago Park Street Church gave up their Pastor, the Rev. Dr. Griffin, to become President of Williams' College, and is not a Pastorate in San Francisco, over the Church referred to, of equal importance to the Church of Christ ? So it appears from our point of observation. It is reported that the city of Boston, with all its zeal for Foreign Missions, never sent abroad but one native-born Missionary, and he returned after a few years' labor in Turkey. Now when a Macedonian cry is wafted over the continent for a Ministerial laborer, the good people of Boston ahd the vicinity refuse to allow even one of their adopted sons to go upon a sort of Home Missionary enterprise. We wonder the ghost of Dr. Griffin did not frighten the members of that church to exclaim, " Yes, if our Pastor is needed in San Francisco, take him; and if you are not able to support him, draw upon us." This would have been the noble Pauline course. Park Street Church would then have acquired a fame more enviable than that of having the tallest steeple of Boston ! Suppose Dr. Stone is eloquent, able and good, then the more cogent the reasons why he should go abroad and allow his influence to be felt in the Far West, at the entrance of the Golden Gate. For the good of the Church ol Christ throughout the world, we heartily wish a score of New England Divines might be induced to seek fields of usefulnes in remote parts of America and the world. The idea that a man should not go abroad because he is eloquent and learned, and good, is unworthy of the orthodox sons of New England. They should learn a lesson from other sects. We might add much more useful as may have been the services of Dr. Stone of Boston, Dr. Bacon ofNew Haven, Dr. Todd of Pittsfield, Dr. Hawesof Hartford, Dr. Sweetser of Worcester, Dr.Chickeringof Portland we have yet to learn whether such men might not have been more useful in their Master's vineyard, if they had allowed their powers to unfold amid the exciting scenes of the Far West, or upon a foreign missionary field ! The glory of New England will depart, and Ichabod will be inscribed upon the walls of her churches, when grave ecclesiastical councils refuse to allow ministers of the Gospel to go abroad. While our heart is cheered by reading an account of the meetings of the American Board at Worcester, we frankly confess our joy is somewhat abated by reading this decision of the Boston Council in regard to Dr. Stone's removal to San Francisco. Tenth and reasonable persons, the fruit has not failed in quantity. For several years the Trustees have been able to manage the institution without calling upon the public for contributions ; but the time has now come when from some source funds must be obtained to re-paint the building and otherwise keep it in good condition. It is for the Trustees to make such arrangements upon the subject as they shall deem wise and satisfactory. It is most confidently believed that when an appeal is made to the public the funds will be forthcoming in sufficient sums to accomplish all that is necessary to make the Home as useful as it has been in former years. The Report of the Treasurer will show that the Society is not only out of debt, but has a small balance in hand. In closing our report, and reviewing the Annual Report of the Honolulu past, there are two persons whose names should always be honorably mentioned when Sailor’s Home Society. Just ten years have elapsed since the enterprise was started of building a Sailor's Home in Honolulu. The grant of the site upon which the Home now stands, was among the last, if not the very last, official act performed by His Majesty Kamehameha 111., while sitting as President of the Privy Council. The grant was made on the 20th of November, 1854, and His Majesty of and good memory," departed this life " great 15th on the of the following month. It is well known that he was exceedingly friendly to the enterprise as was also his successor, Kamehameha IV., who was for several years the success and usefulness of the Home is under consideration, —we refer to Mrs. Thrum and Mrs. Oat. The former was manager during the early period of its history, and the latter during the past three or four years. Hoping and praying that the smiles of a kind Providence, and the favors of an appreciating public may continue to rest upon the Institution, the Executive Committee would most respectfully submit the foregoing Report.

Thi Hawaiian Islands : Their Paogress and Condition under Missionary Labors. By Rufus Anderson, D.D., Foreign Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, (with Illustrations.) Boston: Gould it, Lincoln. 1864. Two or three stray copies of this new work have reached the islands, in advance of a consignment which we hear is on its way to Honolulu. We have fortunately been permitted to enjoy the perusal of the volume. Our first thought suggested by its reading is this, that the author might with propriety have taken for a motto, the introduction to the Gospel of Luke—" Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed amongst us * * it seemed good to me also, having had perfect know ledgo of all these things, from the very first, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus." And the author might with no less propriety have entitled his work * " The Acts of the Missionaries;" for in the preface of the book, he frankly notifies the reader that " the work is written throughout with reference to a single object, that of snowing what God has been pleased to do the Hawaiian Islands, through the Gospel oj His Son and the labors, of his Missionary servants." In a modified sense, this is unquestionably the true method of writing the history of any country. It is only when, in the beautiful language of Bancroft, historians " hear the foot steps of Providence along the line of centuries," that they rise to the true dignity of their high calling. President Edwards, in his "History of Redemption," caught the noble idea—" From the moment of creation to the final judgment, it is all one work." Yon Schlegel, in his Lectures on the " Philosophy of History," remarks, that " the philon osophic historian will discover in the Christ- ian religion, the sole principle of the subsequent progress of mankind. The religion of love, established by the Redeemer, has shown ever clearer and brighter with the progress of ages, and has changed and regenerated not only government and science, but the whole system of human life." Historians of the right stamp and type are gradually adopting this same idea, and hence all contributions to history, written with this truly philosophic idea in mind, are of the utmost value. As such we regard the work before us. Without intimating that he sat down to write a philosophical work, yet it will be regarded as such. Facts and incidents are not •ntrothiced except to illustrate some princi- ple. Dc Tocqueville, in his great work on " Democracy in America,"says there is nothing more difficult to understand than o fact.' Perhaps this is the reason why facts are such " stubborn things." Dr. Anderson, as we confidently believe, understands the facts of Hawaiian history as well, if not better, than any writer who has hitherto taken up his pen to describe them. History is not a cyclopedia of dates, book of annals, or bundle of facts, unless itdescribes the cAomwhich links or joins those facts together. Familiar as we are with the materials to be embodied in the work, and knowingthe character of the author, we might have partially predicted what would be the leading features of the work which would issue from his hands. Limited as to population and territory as the islands may be, yet from their peculiar situation and history, they have caused many to undertake the writing of their history or the description of their scenery and people. Ellis, Jarvis, Bingham, Cheever, Wyllie, Dibble, Simpson, Stewart, Wilkes, Hopkins, and many others, have tried their skill and pens (and some of these have executed their works with marked ability) in portraying Hawaiian history, customs, people and Islands, but really, who has a better right to " tell his manao" (his thought) as a Hawaiian would say, or publish his opinion than the venerable Secretary of the American Board of Foreign Missions. For a period of forty years he has stood at his post in Boston, where he has commissioned successive missionary bands as they have sailed for the islands, and welcomed such as have returned. He has corresponded with the missionaries individually and collectively. He has visited missionaries in Turkey and India, and all his life been familiar with missionary operations at home and abroad. , Finally to qualify himself to speak with additional authority upon this subject, he visited the islands in 1863, and saw with his own eyes the people, and freely mingled with both foreigners and natives. As the result of his mature reflections and observations, he publishes the volume which now lies before us, and which is under review. It was fit, proper and becoming, that under all these circumstances, he should write and publish his views j not to have done it, would have argued a tacit confession that Mr. Hopkins of London, was correct in his opinion, that the mission was a failure. The book before us, is divided into six parts—(l) Preliminary History; (2) Tour of the Islands; (3) People of the Islands; (4) Ecclesiastical Developement; (5) Other Missions, and (6) The Present Position. From this outline, it will readily appear what topic* will naturally group themselves under each grand, division. We think this arrangement admirably adapted to bring out facts and incidents of history. We are glad to see that the writer is not blind to the difficulties in the pathway of Hawaiian progress. He is by no means the mere eulogist of American Missionaries and the censor of those differing from him in opinion, butthecooll, calm and keen-sighted observer, like the Apostle Paul, who, when at Athens, strolled around among the people, and saw them at and bowing before their idols. Any one to have seen Paul, would naturally have asked, " I wonder what that man is thinking about I" When the time came, and " Paul stood in the midst of Mars' Hill," he told them what he was thinking about: Ye men of Athens, I perceive ' that in all things you are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription : To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you." Now we are far from wishing our readers to think that we fancy Dr. Anderson equal to the Apostle Paul; but in this, however, he resembles him, that he knows how to introduce facts to make them tell. He is very skillful, as the Country Parson" would say, " in putting an argument—no diplomat was ever more so; and in doing it, he employs very clear, simple, terse and forcible language. This is really the first time we ever thought of associating the names of these two men together; but we have heard the name of a certain ecclesiastical personage, dwelling upon the banks of the Tiber, applied to him ! With how much of truth, those must be the judge who have used the term ! He is not a man afraid of responsibility. If necessity require, in the words of President Jackson, he is ready to say, " I take the responsibility." Hence in the management of this and some other missions, his opinions have been sometimes pronounced dictatorial, but generally his opponents have been led to adopt them as correct and right. But we are writing a much longer notice of the book than we intended when we took up our pen and began to scribble. We hope we have written enough, however, to lead every foreigner upon the islands to purehatt: and read the work when it shall be offered for sale. It will richly repay the reader It is a work which will be often referred tc in the future discussions upon the islands. In glancing over the pages, we notice a few ty. pographical errors, which will doubtless be corrected in subsequent editions. It is a work that cannot fail to provoke considerable discussion. We shall doubtless hear some comments upon it from certain sources. It is a book that will find readers on the other aide of the Atlantic. We shall watch with interest the comments which the book rails �forth from its various readers and reviewers. A little discussion is good. We are not afraid of the truth, in an open and fair encounter with error, fully believing the old Latin saying, " Magna est Veritas et pravalebit"—" Great is truth and it will ultimate- ly prevail." : 01' THE ScHONBERG-CoTTA FaMILY W Published, by M. W. Dodd, New York, 1864. This is the title of a deeply interesting book which we have lately been reading. It presents some most life-like sketches of the early days of the Reformation under Luther in Germany. We noticed that it was not a translation from the German, and have been wondering not a little, who could have been the author, for he is unquestionably a writer of marked ability. Mentioning the book to a Scottish neighbor, he replies, " why, that was originally published in the Family Treasury of London, and a friend writes us, that the Queen's Chaplain, Rev. Dr. McLeod, (or as he is sometimes called, the Queen's Puritan Chaplain) is the author." We are very glad to learn that the Queen of England has a Puritan Chaplain, and futhermore that he write* a book like this, which we are now noticing. In glancing over two or three volumes of the Family Treasury, we find it to be a most excellent Periodical, and that it contains other writings by the same author, viz., " Sketches of Christian Life in England in Olden Time." We only wish our narrow columns would permit the publication of these sketches. " The Schonberg Cotta Family" will be found at Whitney's Book Store, and a more suitable New Year's present could not be selected. - "A chief’s amang you taking notes, AnJ, faith, he'll prent 'em "' Burns complained that " a fine, fat, fodgel wight" of an Englishman, wandered over Scotland taking notes.. It seems that we constantly have those amongst us taking notes, for almost every S. F. newspaper coming to Honolulu, contains a letter from some correspondent. It is amusing to read some of these effusions. They usually partake very much of the character of those with whom the writers associated while wandering over the islands. Lately we read a very good description of the volcano, written by Mr. Leman, who lectured in Honolulu upon the Drama He writes as he lectured, like a well-read and scholarlike man. Several letters appeared in the Alta, signed " Mountain Mary." This lady writes with a free and easy pen, and graphically describes natural scenery, mountain solitudes, and the various phases of society, as they passed before her eyes, while in Honolulu. She concludes her farewell letter with the following: " In concluding the last of my correspondence with 5 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1865. you, loan most cordially say, I baveneverin anypart Islands.

Will I thiok, thou blessed isles, of each other and thee. I go from the haunts where tbe blue billows roll* But these isles, and those waters, shall live In my soul m to The very latest mail brought the " Bulletin" containing a letter signed " A. C," and purports to give a sketch of " Life and Manners in the Sandwich Islands." Portions of this letter are decidedly rich and dashing. The writer is well known. She appears to have been most kindly entertained by the Laird of Rose Bank." Her ideas of the "Hawaiian language are quite original. The following concludes her letter: The Poi and Palaver of the Natives much Alike.—After all my long sojourn here I have neither learned to cat the native food nor speak the native language. Had I learned to eat the food, I tbink it would have been no trouble to learn the language, for one seems to me but a oontinuation of the other. Tbe excessive flatness and Sabbines* of tbe poi are oarried out in the words. All tbe sounds seemed to be pounded and mushed up into a species of verbal pap, which must be articulated with great rapidity lest they lose their cansistency atid tumble into no. thing before tbey can be formed into words. The Beautiful Islands—Adieu, Honolulu.—As the final result of my stay here I have come to tbe conclusion that this is the paradise of the tropics. The olimate ia divine, never cold, and yet not very warm, and almost always tempered with cool, bentfioent trade winds ; the natural scenery is beautiful, and there is a perpetual supply of green grass, vegetables, fruits and flowers ; the Government is mild, wise and favorable to foreigners ; the natives are oivil, peaceable and amiable: the white inhabitants are kind and hospitable ; the cost of living is very moderate ; there are no venomous reptiles or insects here, for even the oentipede (is a foreign importation) lows the latal or dangerous character of its bite, and becomes merely a temporary inconvenience ; and finally, there seems to be none of those diseases, billious, febrile and otherwise, which are generally the bane of torrid climes. The only thing needed here is a nice family hotel, and then 1 should tbink it would require more than the present number ofbarks to transport your pleasure and health seekers hitberward. In bidding it an eternal farewell, (for how could I muke a pleasure trip here from New i'ork?) 1 leave it my best wishes and my benediction. Adieu, fair Honolulu ! go thy ways, for the greenest, softest, fairest, sweetest little dove of a town within the ardent embraces of the tropic of Cancer. May all the whales in the frozen seas deliver up tliemseWes to enrich and prosper thee—may thy fields run riot with sugar aud molasses—may alt thy ways be plea santntss and all Ihy paths be peace ! A. C. Sisters of Mercy.—By a late arrival, three Sisters of Mercy arrived from England, under the auspices of the Reformed Catholic Mission. The following paragraph relating to their departure from England, is from an English paper: " On Saturday last a division of the Devonport Sisterhood, of which Miss Sellon is the Superior, sailed on board the West India Company's steamship " Shannon," for Honolulu. They proceed thither at the express invitation of the Bishop, and with the approbation of the Bishop of Oxford, in whose diocese their principal establishment (Ascot Priory) is situated. It is their intention to form a branch sisterhood in the Sandwich with the Rev. Mr. Mason's school. New Hawaiian Hymn Book.—Under the authority of the Reformed Catholic Mission a new Hymn Book has been published, containing thirty-nine hymns. Thirteen are original, and twenty-six are selected from those composed by the American Missionaries ! So it appears that our neighbors will admit the American Missionaries to their choirs, although not to their pulpit! This is after the style of the English Churchmen, who introduce into their collections of hymns the Lyrics of Walts, Doddridge, Wesley, Montgomery and other poets not oftheir sect, and in turn other sects feel no scruple about singing God's praise in the charming hymns of Keble, Heber, Newton, Cowper, and other Churchmen. Christians may differ ecclesiastically, and yet agree when making confession of their sins before our Common Father and Savior, or when lifting their hearts to God in the songs of Zion. To us this is a pleasant thought. As sectarians we differ, but as penitents we agree. Christmas Dinner.-Capt. Howland, Purveyor of the U. S. Hospital, generously provided a Christmas dinner for all the inmates of the Hospital, numbering about seventy. As no deaths have since been reported, we infer that upon the whole, oyster soup, roast pigs, fowls, and turkies, plum-puddings and mince pies, are not injurious diet.

It is many years since destructive a storm has visited theso islands, and it is probablo that it extended to the coast, it not entirely across the Pacific. The famous storm that inundated Sacramento several years since, swept over this group, and though it caused a flood in Nuuanu and swept away bridges, yet was not accompanied with so destructive a wind as the present. It may be a matter of interest to mention here that the Calcutta hurricane, which occurred October 4th, anil caused a loss of twelvo millions worth of property, swept over a portion of the North Pacific. The loss of two vessels at Baker's and Rowland's Islands, beforo reported by us, occurred on tho Oth of October, only two days alter the above.

It is well known that our ancient British forefathers dyed their bodies with wood, and painted or tattooed them with various designs. Many savage tribes still adhere to the custom ; hut it is nowhere more prevalent than among the New Zealanders. The word "tattoo," by which we now designate all those indelible devices which have been pricked into the skin, is of Oceanic origin, and has been traced to the languajjp of Tahiti. The operation is regarded with religious veneration, as the individual tattooed is supposed by this' means to be plnued under the immediate protection of a divine being. The god of the tattoo is called Tiki, and his worship prevails through the Oceanic group. The images of Tiki are like most other savage idols, chiefly remarkable for bodies. The practice of pricking different forms on the person—crowns, anchors, and the like—is still common among our soldiers and sailors. It has been asserted that in some of the Egyptian paintings there is a " A traveler, long resident in New Zealand, tells us that in crossing through a native village one morning, he observed Tawi, one of the aborigines, tattooing another, the son of Dire-depahi, on the upper part of the thigh. The operation was evidently very painful but it was borne with stoicai patience. The prick employed was made of the wing-bone of a pigeon, sharpened to a point. With this instrument, which was ingeniously fittted into a handle, the operator traced the various lines requireditjr the completion of the device, striking i: now and again with a piece of wood about a foot in length. The blood flowed freely, but the patient remained perfectly ; calm, supporting himself, as he lay half erect, on his elbow. The needle was frequently dipped into water mingled with the juice of a tree, thus giving u dark color, almost black, to every line. An operation so painful and so tedious is necessarily extended over a long period. No man, however savage or stoical, could submit to being tattooed from head to foot without intervals of repose. A chief must be thoroughly tattooed; but to accomplish the complete work, occupies years. It : s begun in infancy, and continued at intervals, but is seldom finished before manhood. The artists whose business it is to tattoo are held in great estimation. They are assigned a high social rank, and are well paid for their labor. Some of them exhibit very considerable ability in the design and execu tion of the devices which they imprint on the skin of theirpatients. They are generally of what might be called an ornamental character, although the effect produced scarcely merits the term. Scroll-work, geometrical figures, and the like, are principally employed ; fruits, flowers, or animals are rarely attempted. A recent traveler exjg/esses himself as fully convinced that were some of these native artists placed under proper instruction, they would take no mean rank among the painters and sculptors of Europe. �7 THE FRIEND.

FEBRUARY 1, 1865. An English Yacht.—On Saturday, the the 28th ult., arrived the Themis, owned and commanded by Capt. T. B. Hanham, a retired officer of the Royal Navy of Eng- land. The character of the vessel will indicate the object of her cruise. The commander is accompanied by his wife, and and they cruise for pleasure wherever inclination points the way. After visiting various ports of the Mediterranean, the cruise in the Pacific was entered upon, and in taking this cruise, Capt. Hanham is enabled to revisit scenes, places and ports, associated with his life as a Midshipman, on board H. B. M. S. Carysfort, commanded by Lord George Paulet. Foreign residents of Honolulu, in 1843, will remember him, and he is particular to make inquiries after his old acquaintances. Capt. Hanham intends visiting the principal ports on the islands, and then proceeds to the Society Islands, via the Marquesas. We would merely add that the Themis is an iron vessel of 160 tons, and fitted up in a style becoming an English gentleman, who is yachting about the world for pleasure. When Capt. Hanham visited the islands in 1843 strong national feeling prevailed, and the independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom was endangered, but with the progress of time, permanency has succeeded to uncertainty — the Kamehameha Dynasty has become established and the regular forms of civilized administration have been introduced into every part of the Hawaiian Government. Eight Letters for Oxe.—Sailors sometimes complain that they get no lettors, although they may write whenever they enter port. On passing over a package of letters which had been sent to our care for a sailor, he remarked, " I have been absent eight years from home, and have written to my friends but once, but I now have received eight letters." We now repeat, what we have done so often—sailors, do not fail to write to your friends every time you enter a port. Suppose you get no replies, keep on writing. There is something wrong when persons are absent from home, and will not keep their friends informed of their whereabouts. To the friends of seamen we would say, do not you fail to write. We are so situated as to witness a sailor's joy when he receives letters from the " folks at home." We would acknowledge a catalogue of Vale College, for 1864-65, from Prof. C. S. Lyman. Professional students, including 186 'neology, Law, Medicine, Ifa:., 45S Academical students, - Total, 644 of the a catalogue would acknowledge We College of California, at Oakland, from Mr. W. E. Rowell. It is highly gratifying to learn from these catalogues, and other sources, that the colleges and other schools of learning throughout the loyal States, are as flourishing as ever. Never were such munificent endowments bestowed upon American Colleges as during the progress of the civil war. The same is true of all the benevolent societies, including bible and missionary societies.

Lights and Shadows of Missionary Life in Micronesia. By the arrival of the Morning Star, we have received interesting and important intelligence from all the missionaries in Micronesia. We shall furnish our readers with extracts from letters written by the Rev. Mr. Sturges, in January, May, June and November, of 1864. These letters present " the lights and shadows" of missionary life, on the island of Ponapi or Ascension. That island we would remark for the benefit of some of our readers, lies in N. L. 6 <=> 48, and E. L, 158° 19. It was originally occupied by the American Missionaries in 1852. The only missionary now on the island is the Rev. A. A. Sturges. He went there at the commencement of the Mission, and has never since returned to America or Honolulu. Mrs. S. visited Honolulu in 1861, and returned the following year. Mr. Sturges is located on the Southern side of the island, at the harbor of Rono Kitti. The Revs. Messrs. Gulick and Roberts have formerly been associated with Mr. Sturges, but he is now laboring alone among five or six thousand people, scattered over that beautiful island. The people are very much scattered and it is a most toilsome labor to visit remote parts of the island. The missionary makes his visits by boating along the shores, as it would be well nigh impossible to cross the island by land, and over the mountains. There are no roads and the forests are dense. The low flat coral reefs extend out several miles into the sea. We have made the foregoing statements so that our readers will the better understand the following allusions: Draih of the Naaakin, Reign t>f Terror—Visit or High (Islet arjawww. — the Mtut- Ponape, May 16th, 1864.

I make one prayer answer for the whole; as do some of the bridesmaids and bridesmen make one set of marriage-robes answer for several couple; which they must have done last week to be able to present sixteen couple, in succession, to the clergyman, so nicely robed ; and what if some at the foot of the class were better dressed, and some at the head less richly ornamented, at the close of our ceremonies than at ihe commencement! Arrangements had been made to marry several parties at a certain place where I hold meetings in another tribe, but on repairing thither, the chiefess, who was to head the parly, asked me if she ehould not wait a little as her husband's wedding garment was not finished. I advised her not to think of outside ornaments, as God looked only to the heart. I was pleased to see, the next day, that she took her place at the altar by the side of her husband, minus her own marriage robe, which was really a nice one, that she might not seem to be better than her other half! One of the sixteen couple married the other day, was ihe Wajai and his queen, head chiefs of the Metelanim tribe. Let me tell you something of the rich costume of our king and queen on that memorable wedding day. His Majesty wore a pair of white pants, and a linen shirt, both as neat and shining as ever came from the most fashionable laundress; and over these a new black satin vest, which, with his large silk cravat, set the old gentleman off to a charm ! Then the queen, how lovely she looked in her long robe of figured Turkey Red, from the famous Waterhouse establishment." Nor did the ""rejected" queens look less smiling as they sat in their robes and places of honor, and quietly listened to their quondam husband promise in the sight of high heaven to renounce all other women, and take the one he held by the hand as his only wife. The royal bridegroom had been somewhat married before, having had at one time some' fifteen wives. So we have polygamy to deal with here, as you see. Chiefs on Ponape, as elsewhere, are fond of their harems, but it would take more than a Bishop Colenso to make the people think it a good institution. Those who are unfortunately involved in this harem system do not find it so easy to free themselves. In many cases the wives are sisters, one being the real wife, the others sort of boarders ; and if they were sent away would have no home.

The two brothers lived at court on a footing of equality. They took part in amusements, tried the wrestle, drew the bow, plunged with ardor into all the noble exercises of the country and the time. The people belonging to the suite of Umi exercised themselves with those of the suite of Hakau, in contests with the long spear, pololu," and the party of Umi always "came off victorious, obliging Hakau to retreat in confusion. Liloa, feeling that his last hour was approaching, caused his two children to be summoned, and said to them, "Thou, Hakau, wilt be the chief, and thou, Umi, wilt be his man." This last expression is equivalent to vice-roy or prime minister. The two brothers bowed as sign of assent. The old chief resumed : " Do thou, Hakau, respect thy man, and do thou, Umi, Hakau, if you respect thy Sovereign. have no consideration for your man, if you quarrel with him, I am not concerned about the consequences of your conduct. In the same way, Umi, if you do not render to your Sovereign the homage which you owe him, if you rebel against him, it will be for you two to decide your fate." Soon after hazing made known his last will, Liloa, gave up the ghost. Umi, who was of a proud and independent character, foreseeing, no doubt, even then, the wickedness of his brother, would not submit to him, and refused to appear in his presence. Abandoning his share of power, he removed from Waipio in company with his two intimate friends, and retired to the mountains, where he gave himself up to the hunting of birds. Hakau then reigned alone, and governed according to his caprice. Abusing his authority he made himself feared, but at the same time detested by the people. He drew upon himself the censure of the principal servants of his father, whom he provoked by all kinds of humiliations and contempt. If he saw any one of either sex remarkable for good looks, he caused them to be tattooed in a frightful manner for his TALES OF A VENERABLE SAVAGE : equnl -OB- Contribulions to the Ancient History of Hawaii. (CoNTIKrKD-J TrankUted mostly from the French of Julei Remy, BY PRESIDENT ALEXANDER, OF OAHU COLLEGE. History of Umi. 1.-Hls Birth o»«l hl« Toulh. He was the son of Liloa, a great chief, who reigned over the whole island of Hawaii in the 16th century, and Akahikameainoa, a woman of the plebian order, who lived in Hamakua. He was kept in profound ignortnce of his rank until he was 15 or 16 years old. The child developed rapidly, became vigorous and attained to a royal stature. In his plays with his companions and in his pastime as a young man he always bore off the palm. He was a great eater, " hao wale i ka ai ame ka ia." In short Umi was a perfect kanaka, and an accomplished fighter, who made his comrades suffer the proofs of it. During this time he formed a deep and intimate friendship with two peasants of the neighborhood, Koi, of Kukuihaole, and Omakamau, who became his " aikane." Liloa then held his court at Waipio in all the barbaric splendor of the period. Besides a considerable crowd of attendants, he had around him priests, prophets, nobles, and his only son named Hakau. His palace was made merry night and day by the wild evolutions of the dancers, and by the music of the resounding calabashes. He had left Akahikameainoa certain tokens or pledges as a souvenir of their relation, and a proof of the paternity of Umi. These objects she had secretly deposited in a place, which is known even at the present day, by the name of Hunana niho. Meanwhile Liloa had become old. Akahikameainoa judging that the moment had arrived, invested Umi with the royal malo, the nilio pnlaoa and the lei, emblems of power which the high chiefs alone had the right to wear. " Go," said she to him ; "go, my son, present yourself to King Liloa, your father, at Waipio. Tell him that you are his son, and show him as proof of it, these pledges which he has left to me." Umi proud of the revelations of his mother, departs immediately, accompanied by Koi and Omokamau. The palace of Liloa was surrounded by guards, priests, diviners and sorcerers. The tabu extended as far as the outer enclosure, death was the penalty for every one who crossed its limits. Umi advanced boldly and passed the threshold. Shouts and cries of death resounded in his ears from all sides. Without troubling himself, he continues his course, and enters by the end door. Liloa was sleeping, wrapped in his royal cloak of red and yellow feathers. Umi stooped and without ceremony uncovered his head. Liloa awakWho is that t" ing said. " Owai la keia ?" "It is I," replied the young man;" it is Umi, thy son," and saying this he displays his malo at the feet of the king. At this signal, Liloa, while rubbing his eyes, recognized Umi, and caused him to be proclaimed his son. Behold, then, Umi admitt- " amusement. more rite sympathies of the people in whose labors he took an incredible part. The fields which Umi cultivated are to be seen even at the present day, above Laupahoehoe, and near the sea can be seen the heiau or temple in which Kaleihokuu offered sacrifices to the gods. Hakau continued to reign, always without showing the least respect to the old officers ot Liloa his Two old men, high chiefs by birth, and highly honored during the preceding reign, had persisted in residing near the palace of Waipio, in spite of the insults to which the nearness of the court exposed them. One day, when they were hungry, after a long scarcity, they said to one of their attendants, " go to the palace of Hakau. Tell his Majesty that the two old chiefs are hungry, and demand of him, in our name, food, fish and awa." The servant immediately went to the king's house to fullfi.il his errand. Hakau replied, accompanying his words with foul and insulting terms, " go, tell those two old men that they shall have neither poi, nor fish, nor awa." The two chiefs on hearing this cruel reply, at first began to sigfc over their lot, and to regret more bitterly than ever the time when they lived under Liloa. Then rallying themselves they said to their servant, " We have heard of the foster-son of Kaleihokuu, of his strength, his courage and his generosity. Without losing any time, go directly to Laupahoehoe, and say to Kaleihokuu, that the two old chiefs desire to see his adopted son." The servant hastened to Laupahoehoe, where he acquitted himself of his orders. Kaleihokun said to him, Return to thy masters, and tell them that "they will be welcome, if they wish to come to-morrow to my foster-son." The old men at this news prepared to start. On arriving at the dwelling of Kaleihokuu, they found nobody but a young man asleep on a mat. They entered neverthless, and seated themselves, leaning their backs against the partition wall of the hut of pandanus. " At last," said they, sighing, •' our bones are going to revive," " akahi a ola na iwi." Then addressing the man who was asleep, they said, " Are you then alone here V Yes," answered the young man; Kalei"hokuu is in the fields." " We are," said they, the two old men of Waipio, come expressly to see the foster-son of the priest." The youth rises without saying a word prepares in haste a sumptuous repast, an entire hog, fish and awa. The two old men admired the activity and ski)l of the young man, and said, At all events, if the fosterson of Kaleihokuu were as vigorous a fellow as that, we should live again." The young unknown served them food, and made them drunk with awa. The next morning the old men saw Kaleihokuu and said to him, We have come hither to see your foster"son. May it please the gods that he be like that fine fellow who entertained us inyour house, our bones would revive." " Well," replied Kaleihokuu, " be who has so well entertained you is my foster-son, whom I had left at ,the bouse on purpose that he might perform for you tbe duties of hospitality.'* " Meanwhile Umi, who had a taste for savage life, had taken leave of his favorites, and wandered alone in the forests and on the mountains. One day when he had descended to the shore at Laupahoehoe, he fell in love with a woman of the people, and made her his companion, without any one suspecting his high birth. Devoting himself " then to field labor, he was seen sometimes tilling the ground, sometimes descending to the sea for fishing. By lavish offerings he knew how to flatter adroitly an old man by the name of Kaleihokuu, a powerful priest, who at last adopted him as one of his children. Umi always maintained himself at the head of the farmers and fishermen, and a considerable multitude recognUvkig his physical snperiority, voluntarily enrolled themselves under his orders, and those of his adopted father.

No more was necessary to light at once the flames of war. At the head of a considerable multitude of people attached to 'he service of Kaleiholcuu, Umi proceeds by forced marches to Waipio. and the next day Hakau had ceased to reign. He was sfain by th>- hand of the vigorous foster-son of the priest. 11.-stria-is of I nil. Umi reigned in the place of Hakau. His two "aikanes," Koi and Omaokamau, had come to join him and resided at his court. Piimaiwaa, of Hilo, was his most valiant warrior. "la ia ka mamaka kaua," it was to him that the baton of war belonged, a figurative expression which denotes the General-in-Chief. Pakaa was one of the favorites of Umi, and Lono was his kahuna. While Umi reigned upon the eastern coast of the island, one of his cousins, Keliiokaloa, reigned on the western coast, and held his court at Kailua. It was under the reign of this prince, about two centuries before the voyage of Cant. Cook, that a ship was wnckod near Keei in tic district of Kona, not far from the spot where the celebrated English navigator met with his death in 1779. It was then towards 1670 that men of the white race landed lor the first time on the group. A man and a woman, having escaped from the wreck, landed upon the beach at Kealakeakua. On reaching the shore these unfortunates prostrated themselves upon the lava with their faces on the ground, whence arose the name of ku'ou, (bowing down,) which is still borne by the place which was the witness of this scene. The shipwrecked foreigners speedily conformed themselves to the habits of the natives, who assert that there still exists in our day a family of chiefs descended from these two whites. The princess Loheau, daughter of Liliha, still living, is, they say, of this origin. Keliiokaloa, who reigned on the coast when this memorable event took place, was a wicked prince, who took pleasure in wantonly felling cocoanut trees, and devastating cultivated fields. His depredations led Umi to declare war against him. He took the field at the head of his army accompanied by his famous warrior, Piimaiwaa. by his friends, Koi and Omokamau, by his favorite Pakaa, and by Lono, his priest. He turned the flanks of Mauna Kea, and advancing between this mountain nnd Hualalai in the direction of Mauna Loa, arrived on the great central plain of the island with the intention of descending to Kailua. Keliiokaloa did not wait for him. Putting himself at the head of his warriors he marched to encounter Umi. The two armies met upon the elevated plain surrounded by the three colossi of Hawaii at the place which is called Ahua a Umi. Two men of the slave class, by tbe name of Laepuni, famous warriors of the party of Keliiokaloa, fought with superhuman courage, and Umi was about to fall under their blows, when Piimaiwaa, coming to his aid, decided the victory for his side. Though history says nothing in regard to it, it is probable that the king of Kailua perished in the combat. This victory completely rid Umi of his last rival in power. He reigned thenceforth as sole monarch on Hawaii. In order to transmit to posterity the remembrance of this remarkable battle, he '-amed to be erected on the battle-field, by the people of six provinces, a singular monu- employed workmen from all quarters to hew ment coinpo«ed of six polyhedral piles of stones which were to servo, say some, toconlava collected in tbe lieiuhDorhood.
