PASSAGE OF THE lIIAHO. The distance from South Knrrjlonc Light to four miles south of Makapua, island of Oahu, is 2,044 miles on the arc of a great circle—so reports Captain Floyd—hence the distance from Honolulu to San Francisco is about 2,100 miles.

The city is evidently growing very fust, and stretching out fur over the sand hills. Since our arrival the weather has been beautiful. The air is rather sharp and crispy, which makes the pedestrian walk with vigor and animation. We feel highly invigorated.

In referring to Mr. Hooper I cannot refrain from alluding to bis great success in managing the Funded Debt of San Francisco. We can well remember about eighteen years ago when lie undertook this work, to which he has devoted nearly twenty years, the best part of his life, Ml I salary of only $2")0 per month or $3,000 per annum. His business capacity would have placed him at the head of any mercantile establishment in the city when he was appointed to his preseot office. He was then a member of the old firm of Cross & Co. His public services have been invaluable to the city. Some of the older residents at the Islands will remember Mr. H. as the gentleman who was once the U. S. Consul. To him also belongs the honor of first commencing the culture and manufacture of sugar at Koloa, Kauai. In 183(5, or when he first commenced cultivation, not an ox had been broken to the yoke on that island, and, if we have been correctly informed, kanakas drew the first plow! But we have wandered far from the city, the din o( which now fills our ears. We have been here only four days, and yet we have seen much, and hope to see much more before our departure. We enjoy We first visited this city in 1349, and we now find, after an absence of twenty years, a very different state of things from what was then to be witnessed. The first thing which strikes our attention is the sumptuous style of the hotels. The accommodations at the Lick House strangely contrast with our lodging on the soft side of a floor board, with one blanket, in '49. Then, for a restaurant, we resorted with the merchants of the city to a tent where a negro provided for his guests in every style. It was the best the city then afforded. Now we find hotels, churches, warehouses, stores and al! the other elements of a great and prosperous city, resembling cities of older lands.

We can remark that the speaker's ideas of common sense, as applied to history and Christianity, would not correspond to those of a Protestant. In the course of his remarks ho referred to the fact that Protestant ministers had compared the Catholic Church to the Apocalyptic lady clothed ill scarlet. He facetiously added : " I wonder if she exhibited the Grecian bend." In alluding to Protectant sects he employed the phrase, "Out Christian brethren." Tins tallies with the spirit of the Pope's late letter to the Protestant world, wherein he ipeaka of Christian*.—heretics of course— although not good Catholics.

On Tuesday evening, March .'30th, the second alter landing in San Francisco, we attended a lecture delivered by Dr. Scudder, on "Hindoo Philosophy" and "Boston Tranccndentalism." The Bevcrond speaker compared the two systems on these five points—God, Matter, Man. Futurity and Salvation. As the speaker was born in India, and had spent twenty years of missionary life preaching in the streets of that mys- terious land, it was interesting to listen to a popular exposition of Hindoo philosophy. We felt that be was speaking upon a subject which he had thoroughly studied and made a speciality. When lie came to expose the errors of the Boston Traneciidcntalists—of whom IJ. W. Emerson is the exponent we also felt that he was not stepping upon ground which he had not fully explored. His references were full and to the point. The comparison was by no means favorable to the Yankee philosopher. A full report of bis lecture has appeared in the " Bulletin," and we copy the closing para- — graphs : Hindooism is a compact system, but " transcendentalism is loose and disjointed, varying with each individual reason, and yielding no authority to Revelation, but all to private reason. The Hindoos hammered out their belief on their own anvil, while the Transcendentalistsof Boston purloined theirs from the briefly written magazines and books of French authors, and palmed them off second hand. They were so much inflated with their ideas of self that they were much like the man who, whenever he spoke of himself, reverently took off his hat. The Hindoos have some foundation for their belief and have set up some landmarks by which they try to steer; but the Transcen- �di'ntalisls had none—no two of these gentlemen squinted the same way. It was possible to understand Hindoo philosophy; bat the doctrine of the Transeendentalists was moonshine. One could get hold of it no more than lie could get hold of two bands* ftil of moonshine. Transcendentalism is like a soap bubble filled with wind. The Transeendentalists are now studying Hindoo, and love Brahminism, which is mind,dissevered from its moral character. He had beard that some of them were learning the Hindoo language, believing that they could find a strong resemblance in the two systems. He thought they were getting on the right track and if thev wish to make a journey 10 that country he would Ik' happy to give them letters of introduction to the chief priest of a grand old temple, and to the driver ol the car of juggernaut. The doctrine of the Hindoo, to that of transcendentalism, was like the lofty and towering locust compared to the vine in an obscure dungeon. Ho would refer them to the reasoning of a Brahmin, relative to the Creation,as follows: God made all things, consequently be must have existed first, and as be created liglit, where darkness existed before, he must he darkness. If he were to hear a lie, he preferred a good oik —one that would make him gag, and create astonishment. The doctrine of transcendentalism,compared to Hindoo philosophy, was like a puny tadpole compared to it huge hull-frog sitting on the end of a log.

Francisco. The Colored Prenclier. 1 was traveling one summer on the Pana- ma steamer to San Francisco. The ship's company and passengers numbered some twelve hundred. Of nil this community, apart by himself, among the steerage passengers, was a colored man, apparently unnoticed, except by casual and scornful remarks about "that big nigger dressed in black." He was a powerfully built man, almost black, wilh large, well-shaped and intelligent features. One Sunday, after a morning Episcopal service and a sermon in the afternoon from a Methodist or Baptist minister, it was proposed by some of the passengers that the negro, who was ascertained to bo a preacher, thould be asked to hold an evening service, After some hesitation, he finally was induced to officiate. The large cabin was full. Everyone was present, some from good motives, some from curiosity, others, 1 (ear, from a mischievous idea that they were to find matter for ridicule in the service. The preacher, after a short prayer, a hymn, and a selection from Scripture.closed his book and delivered an address of some thirty minutes, which I have rarely heard equalled for eloquence, simplicity and effectiveness. The deep tones of his voice, not raised above the natural conversational key, were distinctly heard throughout the cabin. Without hesitating for a word, but deliberately, he first reminded his hearers of the solemn warning of their common humanity just received, in the death of a poor woman among the passengers, who with her children was on her way to join her husband in California. Then he spoke of the profanity, gambling and frivolity he had observed on board among " well dressed passengers, officers of the vessel, and all with only a plank between them and the shoreless ocean of eternity." Every word told, and was intently and respectfully listened to, and, when he had closed, there was not one of his hearers but instinctively felt that a true, fearless Christian man had stood before them. I will venture to say that not one was there who was not convinced of the error and disgraceful wrong we do in entertaining prejudice against any man merely on account of color. Every young man should remember that the world will always honor industry. The vulgar and useless idler, whose energies of body and mind are rusting for want of occupation, may look on him with scorn—it is praise ; his contempt is honor. Miss Emily Faithful is one of the Women's Kights speakers of Ureat Britain.

To turn home was equally impossible. She must find shelter. The wild cat's or fox's den would be welcome. After wandering for some time among the huge fragments of granite which skirted the base of the overhanging precipices, she at last found a sheltered nook. She crouched beneath a projecting rock, and pressed her child to her trembling bosom. The storm continued to rage. The snow was accumulating overhead. Hour after hour passed. It became bitterly cold. The evening approached. The widow's heart was sick with fear and anxiety. Her child —her only child—was all she thought of. She wrapped him in her shawl. But the poor thing had been scantily clad, and the shawl was thin and worn. The widow was poor, and her clothing could hardly defend herself from the piercing cold of such a night as this. But whatever might become of herself, her child must be preserved. The snow, in whirling- eddies, entered the recess, which afforded them at best but miserableshelter. The night came on. The wretched mother then stripped off almost all her own clothing and wrapped it round her child, whom at last in despair site put into a deep crevice of the rock, among some heather and fern. And now she resolves, at all hazards, to brave the storm, and return home in order to get assistance for her babe, or perish in the attempt. Clasping her infant to her heart, and covering his fac-5 with tears and kisses, she laid him softly down in sleep,and rushed into the snowy drift. That night of storm was succeeded by a peaceful morning. The sun shone from a clear blue sky, and wreaths of mist hung along the tops of the mountains, while a thousand waterfalls poured down their sides. Dark figures, made visible at a distance by the white ground, may now be seen with long poles, examining every hollow near the nature of that " love which seeketh not her own," be narrated the above story of the Highland widow, whom he had himself known in his boyhood, and he asked, "If that child is now alive, what would you think of his heart, if he did not cherish an affection for his mother's memory; and if the sight of her poor tattered cloak, which she had wrapped round him, in order to save his life at the cost of her own, did not (ill him with gratitude and love too deep for words? Yet what hearts have you, my henrers. if, in memory of your Saviour's sacrifice of himself, you do not feel them glow with deeper love and with adoring grautude ? " A few days after this, a message was sent by a dying man requesting to see this clergyman. The request was speedily complied with. The sick man seized the minister by the hand, and, gazing intently in his face, said •• You do not, you cannot recognize me. But I know you, and knew your" father before you. I havebeen a wanderer in many lands. I have visited every quarter of the globe, and fought and bled for my country. I came to this town a few weeks ago in bad health. Last Lord's day I entered yourchurch—the church of my countrymen —where I could once more hear, in the language of my youth and of my heart, the gospel preached. I heard you tell the story of the widow and her son;" here the voice ol the old soldier faltered, his emotion almost choked his utterance ; but, recovering himself for a moment, he cried, " I am that son ! " and burst into a flood of tears. » Yes," he continued, "myI am that son ! Never, never did I forget mother's love. Well might you ask what a heart should mine have been if she had been forgotten by me.

"he cried, looking up to heaven, his eyes streaming with tears; and, pressing the minister's hand close to his breast, he added, " It was God who made you tell that story. Praise be to His holy name that my dear mother did not die in vain, and that the prayers which I was told she used to offer for me have been ot lust answered ; for the love of my mother has been blessed in making me see, as I never saw before, the love of my Saviour.

In 1853, Lieutenant Brooke obtained mud from the bottom of the North Atlantic, between Newfoundland and the Azores, at a depth of more thai; ten thousand feet, or two miles, by the help of his sounding apparatus. The specimens were sent for examination to Ehrenberg, of Berlin, and to Baily, of West Point, and those able microscopists found that this deep sea mud was almost entirely composed of the skeletons of living organism —the greater proportions of these being just like the Globigcrmrc, already known to accur in the chalk. Thus far the work had been carried on simply in the interests of science, but Lieut. Brooke's method of sounding acquired a high commercial value when the enterprise of laving down the telegraphic cable between Great Britain and the United States was undertaken. For it became a matter of immense importance to know not only the depth of the sea over the whole line along which the cable was to be laid, but the exact nature of the bottom, so as to guard against chances of cutting or fraying the strands of that costly rope. The Admiralty consequently ordered Captain Dayman, an old friend and shipmate of mine, to ascertain the depth of the whole line of the cable, and to bring back specimens of the bottom. In former days such a command as th's might have sounded very much like one of the impossible things which the young prince in the Fairy Tales is ordered to do before he can obtain the hand of the princess. However, in the months of June and July, 1557, my friend performed the task assigned to him with "reat precision, without, so far ns I know, having met with any reward of that kind. The specimens of Atlantic mud which he procured were sent to me to be examined and reported upon. The result of these operations is that we know the contour and nature of the surfacesoil covered by the North Atlantic for a distance of 1,700 miles from enst to west, as well as we all know that of any part of the dry land. It is a prodigous plain—one of the wildest and most even plains in the world. If the sea were drained off you might drive a wagon all the way from Valentia, on the west coast of Ireland, to Trinity Bay, in Newfoundland. And, except upon one sharp incline, about two hundred miles from Valentin, I am not quite sure that it would even be necessary to put the skid on, so gentle are the ascents and descents on that long route. From Valentin the road would lie down hill for about three hundred miles to the point at which the bottom is now covered by 1,700 fathoms of sea water. Then would come the central plain, more than one thousand miles wide, the inequalities of the surface of which would be hardly perceptible, though the depth of the water upon it varies from 10,000 to 15,000 feet; and there arc places in which Mount Blanc might be sunk without showing its peak above water. Beyond this, the ascent on the American side commences, and gradually leads, for about three hundred miles, to the Newfoundland shore. Almost the whole bottom of this central plain (which extends lor many hundred miles in a north and south direction) is covered hy a fine mud, which, when brought to the surface, dries into a grayish white friable substance. You can write with this on a blackboard, if you are so inclined, and to the eye it is quite like very soft, grayish chalk. Examined chemically, it proved to be composed almost wholly of carbonate of lime; and if you make a section of it in the same way as that of a piece of chalk was made, and view it with a microscope, it presents innumerable Globigerinaj embedded in the granular matrix. Thus the deep sea mud is substantial- ly chalk.—[Prof. Huxiey. To the Slaves ok Tobacco.—We find the following in an exchange, and would advise all of our tobacco-chewing readers to try it: !. Make the most of your Will. Drop tobacco, and resolve never to use it again in any form. 2. Go to an apothecary, and buy ten cents' worth of Gentian root, coarsely ground. 3. Take as much of it after each meal, or oftener, as amounts to a common quid of cut " or cavendish." " fine 4. Chew it well, and swallow all the saliva. 5. Continue this a few weeks, and you will come off conqueror; then thank God, and thank us—i. c., the Rev. Geo. Trask. " The Hawaiian Club.-The following item was clipped from a Boston paper : This club held their annual meeting at No. 15 Peinberton square on the 20th Feb. The following officers were chosen : President, James Hunnewell. Vine-i'resident, J.imes F. 1!. Marshall. Secretary and Treasurer, Kifwnril I'. Bond. Directors, Charles Brewer, Augustus Huss. JCilitinir Committer, Win. T. Brighiui, James F. Hunnewell, Bcnjnmiii Pitman, Q. 1). Oilman, l>. M. Weston. The following minute, relating to the late Mr. Horace Mann, was entered upou the records of the club: The members of the Hawaiian Club desire to record their appreciation of the character and labors of their late associate, Sir. Horace Mann. While the purity and usefulness of his character, worthy of the honored name he bore, had won the regard and affection of all whom his modesty would admit to a knowledge of his worth, his services in his chosen department of science gave promise of great usefulness and distinction ; and it seems altogether fitting that the friends of Hawaii, which was the scene of his early labors and of his first recognized success, should acknowledge their deep sense of the W which they hare sustained in his early death. ' 37 IA V, iB6O. Progress of the Gospel in Si'AIn.—The Secretaries af the American and Foreign Christian Union have kindly furnished us with the following facts, just received from Mr. Henry C. Hall, their missionary director in Spain. They state that thus far no other Society has proposed to employ, men colporters, or evangelists, in Spain. The Union, because it is American, has every advantage there for successful missionary work, and it designs to do as much as the Christians of America will authorize by their contributions. After giving detailed esiimates for printing the Bible, Mr. Hall writes : '•As regarding the advisability of printing here, there can be but one opinion, it seems to me. mitted The facts are : Spain has never per- the entry of foreign-printed Spanish books. 2t\. After having promised to permit, she proves faithless to her promise. 3d. There is no law which prohibits printing. 4th. Matter printed here is of fifty per cent, more value, because gratifying the national pride. Tracts can he printed very cheaply. Paper is cheap, and the ordinary price for labor is twenty to forty cents per day. For want of other printed truth, Mr. Alonzo and myself have commenced the publication ola weekly newspaper, filled with the facts and stories of the Gospel of Christ, together with an exposition of portions of the Word of God. We are working through all the channels open to us, and the cause of Christ daily and obviously advances. Mr. Alonzo is addressing audiences of ten to fifteen hundred in Seville, in Roman Catholic churches, which for the time have been abandoned. He says :" If you could see the immense multitudes who attend these meetings, you would remember the words of the Master, 'The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.' Must we," he adds, "lose this blessed opportunity of telling these of Jesus, the beauty of His doctrine, and what He did for them and for us, because the meetings are called under the name of clubs'?"— [Evangelist. Read this: The Alonzo Hawes who Sr. Albans to the New York Sun the sensational story about the son of Mrs. Sigourney, who was supposed to be drowned but is alive, turns out to be a maniac. The whole yarn is a fabrication, as Mrs. Sigourney never lost a son by drowning. This same Hawes robbed Mrs. Sigourney of her silver plate on one occasion, and in return for her kindness in visiting him at the state prison, where he was subsequently incarcerated, pestered the good woman by publishing verses of his own purporting to be hers. His wrote from crnziness seems to run in a singular vein. Now read this: A correspondent writes from St. Albans to the New York Sun, a, strikingly sensational account of the existence of a son of the late Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney, of Hartford, who was reported to have been drowned in the East Hirer at New York in 1857. The person who was drowned, and had been known through his life as hep son. was one exchanged in infancy for her child. This startling statement rests on confessions and documents of a dying woman, which will shortly be given to the public. Mrs. Sigourney's genuine son served in the war, and returned home a major, and now lives in a Vermont town. �I III: FK I 38 a voice Which once guided my way, When lost on tlie sea I rfvkvrkii Fog enshrouded 1 lay ; 'Twos tbe voice of a child, As he stood on the shore— It sounded out clear O'er the dark billow's roar, "Come this way. my father!

While safe on tbe shore BCoya'bsin Locker. "Come This War My Father." The little song, "Come this Way. My Father," was written by me during a season of great affliction, —occasioned by the loss of my darling little Frank (the hero of the story). The narrative and song were first published in the Waterville " Mail," in the year 1860. The scene of the occurrence was Boothbay, a little harbor about filtcen miles east of Bath. During a short visit to tbe sea-shore of our State, some two years since, with a party of friends, it was proposed one bright afternoon that we should make up a party and go down the harbor on a fishing excursion. We accordingly started, mid after sailing about three miles, a young lady of the company declined going further, and requested us to land her on one of the small islands in the harbor, where she proposed to stay until our return. My little boy, then about four years old, preferred remaining with her. Accordingly we left them, and proceeded some six miles further. We remained out much longer than we intended, and, as night approached, a thick fog set in from the sea, entirely enshrouding us. Without compass, and not knowing the right direction to steer, we groped our way along for some hours, until we discovered the breaking of the surf on the rocks of one of the islands, but were at a loss to know which one of them. I stood up in the stern of the boat, where I had been steering, and shouted with all my strength. I listened a moment, and heard, through the thick fog, and above the breaking of the surf, the sweet voice of my boy calling, "Come this way, father, —steer straight for me,—I'm waiting for you! " We steered by that sound, and soon my little boy leaped to my arms with joy, saying. •' I knew you would hear me, father ! " and nestled to sleep on my bosom. The child and the maiden are both sleeping now. They died in two short weeks after the period I refer to, with hardly an interval of time between their deaths. Now, when tossed upon the rough sea of life, without compass or guide, enveloped in fogs and surrounded by rocks, I seem to hear the sound of that cherub voice calling from the bright shore, " Come this wny, father,—steer straight for me!" When oppressed with sadness, I take my way to our quiet cemetery, and still, as 1 stand by one little mound, the same musical voice echoes from thence, "Come this way, my father,—I'm waiting for thee!

I have heard him speak with very great edification. '0, S—,' 1 said, 'is that you?' •This is me,'he said in a sarcastic tone, ' don't you know me ?' 'I nm ashamed of you,' I said. ' You have no right to be ashamed of me. You are not my doctor. 1 was a teetotaler, but you sent me here— here, to this public house.—for your medicine, which saved my body but ruined my soul.' He lell into the arms of two or three of his drunken companions and I left him. "1 did not sleep that night, iliiukingabout that man. I was not a teetotaler then, but it almost made me one. I'mm that night 1 sought him out. He lived a little way from the town when I bad last known him. His home was in a pleasant cottage with a little garden before it. He was a happy man in his family. Now, however, he was not there, and, on inquiring where he had gone to, I found it was to a low pari of the town. Here, in such a home as only a drunken man can live in, 1 found him laid upon a straw bed, sleeping off the effects of the previous night's debauch. His poor children were clothed in rags, and the appearance of his broken-hearted wife I shall not soon forget. I talked lo the man,- reasoned with, and succored him from dial time, and never let him rest until he signed the pledge. It took him some time to recover his character in the church, and 1 had the happiness of seeing him restored lo his place there ; and now he has a larger class, and is more popular than be was before, and has been a devoted worker in the temperance cause ever since. Can you wonder that I never order strong drink for a patient?" At a social meeting of temperance reformers, held recently in the Lecture Hall of the Monumentto Robinson Crusor.-Some National Temperance League at 3'Jl, Strand, odd proposals have been made from time to Dr. Munroe, of Hull, who has devoted much time about the erection of monuments to certime to the study of the physiological action tain distinguished individuals, but who ever of alcohol, made the following remarkable thought ol one for Kobinson Crusoe ?

' 1 said to him afterwards, You would have sacrificed your life for this little bottle of stout daily. It has saved your life, and be thankful.' So he went away a cured man. I am sorry to say that only a few months after that, I was driving down one of our public thoroughfares, when I saw a poor, miserable, ragged-looking man standing against the public house door. It struck me at once that this man was my late patient. I got out of my conveyance to see him. You know how severe a drunken man may be. He had been a member of a Wesleyan Society, a class-leader, on ornament to the church, " Nothing Lost.—The new Bridgeport Wood Distilling Company are prosecuting business very successfully.

The letter was forwarded to us by the Y. M. C. A., accompanied by the insufficiency of postage following printed note: " The Young Men's Christian Association of San Francisco, find this letter in the Post Office without n proper stamp, and prepay the postage to save it from the Dead Letter Office at Washington. Whatever you choose to return for the favor will he devoted tv the support of our Free Public Library and Reading Room, '£\2 Sutter street." We were of course very glad to receive tbe letter. On our return to the city we called at the office of the Y. M. C. A., where we learned that twice each week an officer of the Association goes to the San Francisco Post Office and sends forward all letters detained for the want of postage stamps. Having often done this same kind of work at Honolulu, we were glad to find bread cast upon waters returning after many days! We wonder if any sailor's letters are now detained in the Honolulu Post Office for want ol postage? If so, we hereby authorize the Postmaster General to send forward all such imprisoned epistles, and charge the same to Box " 99." The object of the Y. M. C. A. may be learned from the following sections of the Constitution : Sec. '2. The object of this Association shall be tbe development of Christian character and activity in it* members ; the promotion of evangelical religion , the cultivation of Christian sympathy ; and tbe improvement of the mental and spiritual condition ot young men. 9kc 3. Tbe means employed for the attainment of these objects shall be the efforts of the members iv the sphere of their daily life, with devotional meetings, classes for Biblical instruction, mission Snudny Schools,lectures, a library and reading-room, or any other agetMsM in a»,vordaiice with the Scriptures. The Board of Directors is composed ol one from each of the Protestant churches ot San Francisco. We noticed the Board was composed of 2.'s members, hence we infer there are at least so many Protestant churches in this growing city, where our old associate, the Rev. T. Dwight Hunt commenced his labors in the fall of 1848. How vividly we remember the time when report came to Honolulu that persons dying here had no clergyman to officiate at their funerals. We conferred with Rev. Mr. Hunt, and uiged him to visit this city. He did so, and the First Congregational Church was subsequently organized under his ministry, Now we see that church first on the list of those supporting the Y. M. C. A., and we heard the eloquent pastor of said church deliver an interesting lecture in the lecture-room of the Y. M. C. A., soon after our arrival, on " Individuality."

Such an opportunity was afforded on Thursday, April 124. The first object which attracted nur attention was the immense Dry Dock, capable of lifting a frigate, with all its armament, "high iind dry" out of the water. Only a few days before our arrival the •• Pensacola," flag-ship of the North Pacific Squadron, was thus elevated with all on board, and the Admiral's (lag flying and sentry patrolling on his usual round. This dock is constructed in sections, so that it may he adjusted to the size of the vessel which needs repairing. By the kindness ul Paymaster Matey, our party was conducted over the grounds and through the extensive works, where every description ol machinery was in readboilers, iness to turn out steam-engines and and whutever might be required for the construction or repair of vessels belonging to the Navy of the United States. Solidity, durability, and strength, characterize buildings, machinery and the extensive works. Dwellings for the commandant and officers, together with ample barrack-accommodations for sailors and marines, when detached from vessels in commission, were situated at convenient distances from the water's edge. The grounds and gardens were beautifully laid out and neatly kept, besides undergoing constant improvements. Among the immense quantities ol the war-material scattered on the grounds, our attention was attracted to two " 10-inch " guns, belonging to one of the .Monitors lying in the harbor, either the " Camanchc " or " lMonadnock.*' Each weighed over 21 tons. They were decidedly " big guns," and when W« knew that they possessed reserved power sufficient to send a shell or solid shot six or seven miles, wo felt no inclination to turn rebel, unless certain of M.

We do not now wonder that the navul engagement between the " Merriinac " and the first Monitor built by Ericsson, in Hampton Roads, revolutionized the whole system of naval warfare, and led to the practical banishment of wooden vessels from all the navies of the world. A person can form no adequate idea of the strength and resistance of a real iron-clad until he has inspected a Monitor. The prestige given to our country Iruin having built the first Monitor, exceeds all that would have l>eeii obtained by victory in a hundred battles, on sea or hind. Capt John Ericsson, who has just died at Rie.hland, N. V., has thereby conierred an honor upon his adopted country fully equal to that of Fulton, who discovered the method of applying steam to the propelling of vessels on water. Not only does this honor belong to Ericsson, but also that of the threebladed screw-propeller, the caloric engine, and how inanv other inventions we know not. Mure Island is about three miles lung and hall a mile wide. It is entirely owned by the Government, and probably will remain the great Naval Depot of the Pacific coast so long as the Republic shall stand. Subsequent appropriations of Congress will enable the Navy Department to increase, onlarge, and perfect the already extensive works upon the island. Should Vallejo be made the Grand Terminus of the Pacific Railroad, it appears altogether proper that travelers and visitors from the East to the I'acitic coast should be brought to face the iNaval Power of the United States when they laud from the cars, after their long journey across the continent. OAKLAND, BENICIA, VAI.LEJO AISD SANTA CI.AUA. During our sojourn in California, we have enjoyed the privilege and improved the opportunity of visiting some of the rising Ujwiis in the vicinity ol Sun Francisco. Our first visit was to San Mateo, and .next we went over to Oakland. This city stands in the relation to San Francisco that Brooklyn does to New York. It is a growing and prospcrons city. We were most favorably disappointed in its appearance. Its nvennee, street! and public squares are spacious and well laid out. It is a city of public School* nnd higher seminaries of learning. When the University is well established, Oakland will become the Cambridge ol the Pacific coast. Its many eligible sites for building beautiful residences ami public edifices will render Oakland all that its sanguine admirers now claim for it. We rude out to the neighboring town of Brooklyn and caught a good view of the surrounding country. The keeping beyond their range. Our cariosity was soon to be gratiliad by inspecting the preal wonder of this warlike Ige. We reter to ■ real iron-clad Monitor, the •' Mnuadnock." a vessel which had been under tire .it Fort Fisher, for upon her sides were the marks or indentations ol reW shot. This was the. first Monitor wa bad ever seen. After entering h<-r turrets, going below her decks, and exploring forecastle, ward-room, furnaces, and tnflMOi we experienced something of the >au.e feeling that the Queen of Sheba gave utterance to when she had surveyed the wealth and ipncniliccncc of Jcru.vslcm. in the days nl Solomon—" the half before ohw-U not told lie.'' We never progress prospect was charming. lh* no vivid sn imnrobsion of tainca 43 Benicia still retains the appearance which it presented at our visit eighteen years ago. This too is to be a place for seminaries of learning. In addition to the Catholic Nunnery, and the flourishing Female Seminary of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Mills, the new Theological School and Seminary of the Episcopal Church bus been there established. We spent three days at the Female Seminary of Mr. Mills, and wen? most favorably impressed with the order and arrangement of the institution. It is just the school needed for the young ladies of California. Parents having daughters there may well congratulate themselves upon the fact that they are taught by a corps ol' teachers in every respect qualified for their responsible task. Y\ c attended recitations in Latin, Natural Theology, Butler's Analogy, and Rhetoric, which would have done honor to any college in the laud. While referring to the success of this Seminary, we cannot refrain from alluding to the noble work which Miss Atkins Mrs. Lynch) performed for female education on this coast. She gave an impetus to the cause of temale education at a most critical and important period in the history of this State. At Benicia her name is still remembered with high esteem. It was our privilege to become acquainted with this lady at Honolulu on her voyage to Japan, China and Siatu. We copy the following Irom the Cleaveland Leader of March 30th I " The many friends of that accomplished lady, Miss Mary Atkins, were agreeably surprised to learn of her marriage with John Lynch, a member of the Louisiana Legislature, which was solemnized at St. Paul's Church Sunday evening. She received her education at Oberlin, where she graduated with honor. Some twelve years ago she went to California and established the Benicia Female Seminary, which became an institution of high repule. Subsequently she accompanied a nephew of hers, Capt. Turner, formerly of Geneva, Ohio, who commanded a clipper ship, to China, Japan and Siam, and for a lady traveler saw much of those strange countries. Mrs. Lynch, for the brief period she has resided in this city since her return from California, has created a large circle of warm and admiring friends, and her presence in our midst will be sadly missed." At Benicia we were gratified lo meet one more our old friend, Capt. Walsh, who gavn us such a cordial welcome to the, Paci6c twenty-seven years ago, when we landed in Valparaiso, Chile, after a voyage around Cape Horn, while he was there, residing as a prosperous merchant. Years have dealt kindly with this veteran of the seas, who achieved a wide reputation some thirty or forty years ago as commander of the famour American brig "John Gilpin." running between Mexico and China. Vallejo receives its name from Gencr*! �44 THE Vallejo, so well known in the history of California before it became a part of the United States. The city is well situated, and des. fined lo become, ns the inhabitants confi. dently predict, the Chicago of this part of the world. It is the natural outlet of a large wheat-growing region, and is connected by railroad with Sacramento. Some predict that the great Pacific Railroad will make its It is shunted exactly opposite Mare Island Navy Yard. The harbor is good, and the site for a large city most excellent. The tninds of many are fully possessed with the idea that in a few years broad streets and avenues will extend far over hill and valley, and that a thriving population will gather hither. We hope their expectations may be fully realized. A grain elevator is now being constructed at South Vallejo, and it is expected that very soon it will be made a port of entry. Our visit to Santa Clara introduced us to the San Jose Valley, the garden of California. It is a most charming region. The richness of the soil reminds us of the productive lands lying along the valley of the Connecticut River about Northampton and Hadlcy, Mass. San Jose is just fifty miles south of San Francisco, and is connected by railroad. Santa Clara is situated three miles south of San Jose. Our remarks upon '■ New Park Farm " will indicate the general character of the surrounding portions of the valwestern terminus there. ley. NEW PARK FARM. While at Santa Clara we were the guest of J. P. Pierce, Esq., proprietor of this beautiful estate. It contains ninety-five acres, and is divided off into vineyard, garden, orchard and tillage. Already twelve acres are carefully laid out with strawberries. Besides its vineyard proper, vines are trained tocoverarbors which, if running in a straight line, would extend nearly one mile. The orchards are arranged so that a succession of fruits follow each other in regular order, cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, apples. The whole farm is under a high state of cultivation and kept in the most perfect order. Five white laborers and about twenty Chinese are constantly employed. The system of irrigation is most complete and perfect. Miles of pipe extend underground to all parts of the garden requiring to be watered. These are so admirably arranged that by removing a plug each row of strawberries will be easily watered. Water is abundantly supplied from several artesian wells, which have never ns yet been exhausted. The garden and grounds are most beautifully laid out. Walks are bordered with pinks, geraniums, roses and many other species of flowers. At this season the roses are in perfection, exhibiting such wealth, — I It I KM), JINK. 1869. abundance, fragrance and beauty that one might almost gather a voriety sufficient to manufacture the celebrated perfume of a "thousand flowers." The beautiful residence of the proprietor is embowered in them, extending over door-ways, hanging in clusters from verandas, and fairly covering the sides of his dwelling. Not merely is this beautiful spot designed to gratify the eye, but its fruits are gathered for the San Francisco market. At the height of the strawberry season, beside supplying the family and guests, nearly a ion a day is conveyed to market. These arc gathered by the Chinese, whose nimble fingcrsand patient minds seem well designed for such garden employments. We arc sorry to record the fact that among a certain class of the population of California there is a strong prejudice against employing Chinese laborers. This prejudice exists among the Irish and those of Secession proclivities. So bitter is this prejudice that Klu-Klux clans threaten to revenge upon those employing Chinese or those teaching the Chinese. Already the Methodist Church of San jJose has been burnt by the enemies of the Chinese. A barn on New Park Farm has also been reduced to ashes. This occurred only a few days before our visit. Such wanton, wicked and unjustifiable conduct will not accomplish the design of those so base as to practice if. These Chinese laborers will not be driven from the San Jose Valley or the State. Additional numbers arrive by every vessel from China. New Park Farm may be regarded as superior to most farms in this region, because its proprietor is willing to expend thousands to gratify his fancy; but still there arc scattered through this valley hundreds of tarins, valued wells in the region vary from two to five hundred feet. The question arises, will not these wells ere long drain the fountain from whence they are supplied? Probably not, unless California should be visited by a succession of very dry seasons. In boring these wells, first there is a stratum of gravel, but below that a layer of clay, and then another layer of gravel. The water is found in the lower layer of gravel ; so reported our informant, who bad been engaged in sinking one or more of these .well*, We are not aware us similar wells have been successfully sunk iv any other region this side of the Rocky Mountains, except in this valley of San Jose. MAY HAY. This is a famous day among young and old in California. It is a day for celebrations and picnics. We left Santa Clara in the morning, and expected to hare spent the day at Redwood, but we fortunately fell in with a party inviting us to visit the picnic grounds at Belinount, where would gather four Subbath-schools belonging to four Congregational churches of San Francisco. At the appointed time arrived about 1,400 children, accompanied by their superintendents and teachers. They were soon dispensed over the grounds and through the groves. The region was alive with merry and happy children released from the confinement of schools and city life. It was pleasant to witness this great concourse, some engaged in one kind of sport and some in another. Among them we noticed those belonging to the orphan school, numbering nearly two hundred. They were dressed uniformly, and are well taken care of, so we were informed, but still our heart felt sad in view of so many growing up without knowing a futher's and a mother's kind, protecting nnd fostering care. On our return to the city the train of cars was very long, and drawn by two engines. There could not have been less than 2,000 persons upon the train, and so far as we have learned no accident occurred on that happy May Day.

These wells are worthy of more than a passing notice. Such is the geological formation of this region, that in many parts of the valley (though not all) artesian wells have been found to send forth an inexhaustible supply ol pure water. One of the deepest of these wells is upon the New Park Farm. This well is 700 feet deep, and in 24 hours will send forth water sufficient to fill a reservoir holding 250,000 gallons.

Faith is the channel which salvation given within through embracing sense, most comprehensive its meaning all that is implied in its applica- to you. Your salvation is Christ, —the glotion to the salvation of man in the Scriptures. rious gnice of God in giving Christ; Christ's Grace is sometimes put to signify the ever- righteousness, the gift of grace,—Christ's lasting love of God to his people ; as for in- blood, the gift of grace,—his finished salvastance, 2d Timothy 1:9: " Who hath saved tion, the gift of grace,—all is the gr«cc of us, and called us with an holy calling, not God, all the manifestations of the riches, according to our works, but according to his " the exceeding riches of his grace in his own purpose and grace which was given us kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." in Christ Jesus before the world began." Faith is merely the vessel, as it \tere, by Sometimes it signifies the effectual calling which this salvation is given to you. If man of the sinner, by the operation of the Spirit rejects it and casts it off, of course he must of God, quickening his soul, as we have it in perish ; if a man receives it and embraces it, the sth verse of this chapter: " Even when all the blessings of it are his ; but remember, we were tlead in sins, hath quickened us to- the blessings are all in Christ, and not in gether with Christ (by grace are ye saved.") your faith.

Sometimes it is in a vessel of gold, silver, China, delf, or taken for the free and lull pardon of sin, as glass, yea, though the vessel be not only in Rom. 3:24: " Being justified lreely by fragile, but cracked, or partly broken.it mathis grace, through the redemption that is in ters not, it is the medicine, and not the cup, Christ Jesus."

An illustration, perhaps, will convey more the glory of God." Sometimes it signifies the final salvation of the Lord's people, as in clearly to your minds that the important difIst Peter 1: l'-i " Be sober, and hope to the ference lies not between a weak and a strong end, for the grace that is to be brought unto faith, but between a true and a false one. It In the is the object of your faith that gives charyou at the salvation of Jesus Christ." text, I conceive it comprehends all these acter to it. We may suppose two shipthings, all the blessings of the grace which wrecked mariners swimming from the waves brings salvation to the sinner's soul. " By to a bank of sand, one very confident, the that other trembling with fear. They reach the grace arc ye saved through faith ; God," the of bank of sand, but it is a quicksand, and both it is gift yourselves not of from first to last—from beginning to end— are engulfed: All the spirit, the courage from the grace that called you to the grace and confidence of the one could not save that shall open the doors of eternal glory to him, because the ground on which he trod sank under his feet.

That this is not that the thing which we believe is the teaching of God's word. 1 think will eternal truth. So if two men believe a lie souls—one going on with readily appear. I invite your attention, as the hope of their confidence, and the other therefore, briefly to the consideration of faith the utmost possible — : : ■ ; — 45 trembling a nil fearing—they shall froth perish in the lie they have believed ; " for they have not fled for refuge to lay hold on ihe hope set before them " in the gospel, but they have fled to a refuge of lies. It is sometimes said it matters not what a man lielieves, providing he is candid and honest in his belief But does it not? A hungry man may believe a stone to be a loaf of bread, will it however satisfy his hunger? Will it matter anything whether the merchant takes with him to market current mnticy with which to purchase goods? Can he by any amount of believing convert pewter or brass into gold? Yes tlearly beloved, we will be held accountable by God for our beliefs. So if a man rests his eternal salvation on a false object, he must of necessity perish, and no amount of believing will save him. Man prefers to rely on his own ingenuity rather than on the wisdom of Godj he prefers his own system to that which God lias provided ; he will tax his own brain for something to satisfy; he will depend on his own good behavior rather than on the grace and mercy of God for the salvation of his soul. Man's religion keeps God at a distance, God'i brings him nigh. Homage to God, but not communion with him, is the object of the former ; nearness of fellowship antl companionship, coupled with lowliest reverence, is the aim of the latter. Man says, "God is my enemy, and must hi; appeased; or, he is at the best a doubtful friend, and must be kept at n distance; he is incomprehensible and unapproachable, and therefore enn have no common sympathies with me. I will lay my gift upon his altar, and retire out of his presence." God says, Man is my creature, and though he is a "sinner, dreading, but not loving me, I will not leave him to his misery; I will come nigh ; I will speak with him in love ; I will win back his confidence, and teach him to love me ; I will make him feel that I am not his enemy, but his friend ; I will show him that in my favor is life, and that companionship with me is the joy and health of his being." Man's religion begins by enjoining worship—God's by preparing the worshiper. And here the difference is as wide as it is striking. The main idea that man has in connection with worship is, that it is the means of securing acceptance and effecting reconciliation with God. And it matters not whether you believe in these human systems with confidence or whether you believe in them, with trembling doubt and apprehension, they shall perish in their iniquity who rest upon such refuges of lies, for there is no offering in them, nor in anything in earth or heaven for the sinner to save hia soul but the blood of our crucified Redeemer. It is the nature that is corrupt. It is the perverted heart, will nnd affections, which produce perverted actions; the activities themselves arc neither good nor bad, in themselves considered. They have no moral character, only as it is given by the motive, intention, or purpose. And the fountain cannot be purified by throwing saltinto the stream ; neither can the heart of roan be renewed by mere discipline or education. To suppose this is to mistake the true character of man, and his relation to God and eternity. No, my hearers, " by grace are ye saved," and faith is merely the instrumental means. Faith is essential as the medium through which. �46 sirt-.-ims ol healing must flow into the soul. Aa the atmosphere iibovc nnd around us is the medium through which the genial rays of the sun reach our earth, and causes it to blossom and bud, bringing forlli seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so also is our faith the channel of blessing to our souls. Let me aguin illustrate true faith. Two shipwrecked mariners are buffeting their way from a wreck to a rock. One is confident and joyous—the other trembling and fearing, lest the waves should overwhelm him nnd sweep him ngain into the bosom of the deep; but the rock is inaccessible to the waves, nnd both are equally secure. Why ? It is not the courugo or confidence of the one thut saves him, but because he is on the rock. All the doubts .-tint fears of the other cannot ovcrwhelrii hint. Why? Because notwitlitauding all his doubtl and fears, he is on I rock too. So when sinners hnve indeed '• lied for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set lieforu them," when they have indeed fled to Jesus—the Kock, the Fortress of their salvation, whether they believe with joyous, lightsome heart, with full assurance of faith, or whether they arc, us many are, doubting, trembling, fearing in the weakness and unbelief of their own hearts, still they arc both equullv secure, for both are resting on the " Rock of Ac«'s." Jesus is the hope, Jesus is the Rock, Jesus is the salvation of them both. Let DM not be misunderstood. Faith is ns essential to your salvation as the blood of Christ, but on very different grounds and tor a very different purpose. In respect to our ultimate salvation it matters not whether we live in the possession of a strong, confident, joyous faith or not. If our faith is a true taith, that is, having Christ ns our personal friend and Redeemer for its object, 'hen our sulvatiou is secure. But it does make a great difference in our efficiency as laborers in the Lord's vineyard, and in our enjoyment and religious experience, whether we live in possession of a joyous, confident faith or not. Our loyalty to Christ requires that we should so live ; nnr privilege as children of God requires it; ourefliciency in his service requires it. He who so lives, and n stands upon the rock, has nothing to fear, .and he has both hands to extend to his per- • ishing fellow-men. Then too, it honors Christ so to live, while he of the trembling faith is always in doubt and fear, and has to cling, as it were, with one hand to the rock, and therefore has but one to extend to .lying mortals—a one-handed Christian, but, gets ■■afc, being on the rock. Whercforcjthc babe in Christ is as safe as the father in Christ. The weakest believer is as safe as the strongest, because it is not their faith, but Christ, :hat saves them. It is not by faith you are saved through grace, but "by grace arc ye saved through taith." Grace is that which gives salvation, and therefore, that he might " be strong in the Lord, and in the power of might," Paul exhorts Timothy to bo rorig in (he grace that is in Christ Jesus." Tim. 2:1. This may not seem very itnlant to some of you, but if you are dis- « I It 111 ,\ I). IH L JINK. INfi n Christ Jesus his Lord. How hard it is when persons have taken up a false system, and have not been rightly instructed in God's truth, in drive these vain fancies out of their minds! How often have the siivanls of God iircn seen doubting and trembling, and writing bitter things against themselves, even on the bed of death, liei-ause instead of looking to Jesus us their till, ihey were looking into themselves for confidence, and expecting comfort and courage from the strength of their faith, instead of from ('hrist, the strength of their salvation. You who Hre strong in the faith of Christ Jesus—you who are resting with joyous confidence tin your Lord, In ware we are in an enemy's land, ami always in danger. " Let him that thinketh lie stnndeth, take heed lest be fall." We are often solicited by the adversary, when faith is sirong, to look away from Christ lo ourselves, to transfer our confidence from Jesus to our faith, Beware let! the confidence of faith should be degenerated into confidence in faith. The Apostle says, " When I am weak, then nin I strong.n Strong faith is often S very hard trietl laith. Recollect strong faith ought lo be victorious faith, "This is the victory that overconteth the world, even our faith." Those of you who are weak in the faith that is in Christ Jesus— trembling mid doubting.—if indeed yon arc looking unto him, take courage,—look out til your faith. It is not your faith, it is Jesus that saves you. It is not the strength of your own confidence, it is the strength of him in whom you confide. Think of this ; lift up your hearts. Remember that Jesus is the same to the Weakest as to the strongest., The rock is the same to the man thai trembles on it, as to the man who stands with the stoutest heart upon it. Jesus is the same to both. () weak believers ! lift up your hands that hang down ; you may be " walking in darkness, and have no light; " but he that does SO, " let him trust in the Lord, and stay himself upon his God, iv darkness as well as in light,— in doubts ns well as in confidence, in difficulty as well as in the easy course of prosperity." Therefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the feeble knees. Let the weak take courage, let the strong "watch and pray." Remember the character of your shepherd; remember what is said, "He gathcreth the lambs in his arms, and Carrieth them in his bosom, and gently lendeth those that are with young." The strong walk firmly and boldly on ; he gathcreth the weak ones in his arms, he gently Icadeth those thnt art; weary nnd heavy laden with burdens of anxious doubts a nil fears. You then that are weak and weary, heavy laden, burdened with a sense of your sins, oh look out of yourselves to Jems, cast your burden on Christ. He is able to sustain it—he is mighty to bear it. Remember, are the everlasting nrms." The " underneath bearer of your burden is omnipotent. What weight of sin or sorrow is too great for Christ to carry ? And what burden ought to be too heavy for us to cast upon him ' We cannot bear if, but Christ can. - ; — — ! tressed and agitated with doubts and fears, as certainly some—perhaps many of you Rev.DaCSmon,.occupied who believe the gospel are—you will see the pulpit of Rev.

Mnrrh 28.- -A delightful Sabbath morning. There are no people living in the immediate vicinity of Rev. S. Kauwtalohava house. After prayers and breakfast, we prepared to go over to the next valley, HalcaheRtiu, say I \ to 9 miles, to church. The clnirih lure is a very nent one, the most sr> nf any on the islands. It is In.ill with board:., thatched with cocoa leaf, having a door of stones, upon which i* spread a covering made of split bamboo', which gives it a neat appearance. The bouse is well adapted lor the purpose for which it is used. In the morning I preached ; Rev. J. W. Kaiwi followed with my sermon in Marauesan ; after which Kauwealoha made some remarks, antl the meeting was closed. Tim Sabbath-school ilicn began ; verses from different parts ol the Scripture were recited by all. There were about 48 pcismis present at the morning service. Altera sliurl recess,the people tame together again to observe the Lord's Supper. Twenty communicants were present Iron) live ur six different nations. The Lord was with us; it was good to lie there. The pastor of the church presided, and was aided by Kaiwi. Alter the communion 1 made some remarks, exhorting tliem to brotherly love, to give of their substance for the. spread ol the gospel, and to have their children educated fur the Lord. The meeting beinrr dismissed, with Kaiwi I returned on loot lo Hakanahi. My first Sabbath spent with the eharehesof Nuubiva was ■ day to be long remembered. HANAMANC, ISI.AMI Of MIVAOA. April. I.—This Sabbath morning we left the vessel for Hnnamanii. The people were at meeting when we landed. We made our way to the house of worship, and soon were surrounded by it goodly number of the natives. After saluting Honiae and Daniek, wo went into the meeting-house, where we had Mime conversation with them. We learned that Elisabeth, the wife of Danicla, died on the 7th of November, IS6S. in the full esaon.net of hope. The Sabbath service had been kepi up durum the year, and there were two place* nf worship in the valley, in Which Karoo!) are taught—on. I. Hnniae, nnd the other by Daniels. At 10 o'clock tin horn was blown. The people having assembled together before, now eassr inlo the ineeling-housc for Suhbath-»chool There were about fiO persons inside, and as many, if not more, outside. The two school* taught in the valley meet in one place on the Lord's day to intend Sabbath-school During the year 45 have been taught in these places. 35 of whom were present, the very great majority of them being women, a few men, und fewer children. Two of the women were dressed in calico, the rest in native kapa. The scholars read the fith chapter nf Matthew, 15 of whom did very well; Mi �mm; i- ii i i: \ i>. j i 47 n i:. 18 69.

Our "table" we take with us in our travels, nnd hove had laid upon it several fine specimens of books published in California. One of these is a volume of Sermons recently issued by Roman & Co., from the pen of the Key. Charles Wadsworth, D. D., Minister of Calvary Church, Son Francisco. The volume contains twenty sermons, and if they arc a fair sample of the style of sermonizing by the Pastor of Calvary Church, then most surely his people are highly favored. There is simplicity of plan, beauty of style, luckiness of arrangement, aptness of illustration, and force of expression, which render them models of n certain style of pulpit oratory. We liave read several of these sermons, viz., those entitled '• The Child's Teacher," "God's Thoughts," " Young Man's Mission," "The Mother's Sorrow," and we shall not fail to read every sermon contained in the volume, for more profitable and entertaining rending is seldom to be found. These sermons evince a finish, culture, earnestness and wealth of thought which arc seldom to be met with in this age of preachers who labor for popular effect. The minister of the Gospel who comes before his congregation with such well-digested and carefully prepared sermons, will not fail to gather around him a class of thoughtful, serious-minded and devout hearers and thinkers. Having read these sermons, we felt a strong desire to hear Dr. Wadsworth preach. This privilege we enjoyed on the first Sabbath in May. His sermon was on the text, John 11:15—"And lam glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe." The style of this discourse strikingly resembled that of his printed sermons. This was delivered in the vestry of the new Calvary Church. In two or three weeks, the congregation is expecting to worship in the new church. It is internally one of the finest audience-rooms, designed for a church, which we have seen in San Francisco. It will comfortably seat a thousand and more. The style of finish may be inferred from the cost of the edifice, which will be nearly SIOO.OOO, aside from the ground, which cost $40,000. The location is in the most central part of the city. The external architecture of the edifice is very peculiar. It is surely not Gothic, or Doric, or nny other style of church building we have ever seen. Ten turrets rise from the square top. It has no tower, but seems designed to be built of solid masonry, well designed to withstand earthquakes. Perhaps this idea was running in the architect's mind. It is a good, solid edifice—long may it stand, and in it may its eloquent and thoughtful pastor long stand to preach "Christ and Him crucified" to the crowds of eager and listening; hearers, as they may gather on the Sahbatb and other occasions.

The tall forest trees and dense underground were falling before the axe. Vessels were moored to the trees, and all was hurry and confusion. About the spot where the new capitol now stands, with its spacious wings and lofty dome, a crowd of Americans just arrived from their long voyage around Cape Horn or across the Isthmus, assembled to celebrate the 4th, and Dr. Gwin, subsequently a Senator, was the orator of the day. There being no other clergymen present upon the occasion, it fell to our lot to invoke the divine blessing. There was no public dinner, for Sacramento had no hotel accommodation ! The novelty of the occasion, the wildness of the scene, the noble appearance of the tall forest trees, and enthusiasm of those mingling together on these remote shores, so far from the older States of the Union, all combined to render the occasion one of the most memorablo "Fourths" that we have ever wknessed at home or in foreign lands. Nearly twenty years have* since passed away, and most of that time has been spent in a foreign land, and now, on the Bth of May, we again find ourselves a visitor at Sacramento. But how changed the prospect from the window ofthe Capitol Hotel! Broad streets and spacious avenues stretch away north and south, east and west A great and prosperous city with its busy bum lies before us. The city is. supplied, with daily papers, railroad trains anive from various directions. One's cms are deafened by the �I 111 50 engine's brill whistle.

It was the special train from Keno, bringing the Virginia and Golden Hill tlremen—a large and splendid looking body of men, proud to greet the friends and acquaintances ol their old home, for many of them were once Sacramentans.

The streets and avenues were lined with spectators, witnessing the loog procession formed of military companies, Masonic and Odd Fellow Irulernities, engine companies, schools, etc. At the appointed time, an immense multitude convened at the railroad depot of the Central Pacific Railroad, to listen to an address upon the occasion by His Excellency Governor H.

The labor on the Central Pacific Kailroad wns commenced on January Bth, INCH, and the last spike " was driven on the Bth nl May, 1869,a period of six years and foul who have toiled so long and faithfully, and without whose invaluable and inilispensible labors the "Inst spike" would not have been driven for many long years to come. Mr. E. 15. Crocker, one of the Directors ol the Central Pacific Railroad, spoke as follows "Fellow Citizens: It is so long since I have been in the habit of public speaking that I am quite out of practice, I do not intend to mala any speech, but will ask your indulgence while I make one or two liriol remarks. Fellow citizens, we have met to celebrate the completion of one ol the greatest works of the age [cheers], and in the miilsl of our rejoicing at this event I wish to call to mind that the early completion of this milroad we have built has been in n great measure due to that poor, destitute class of laborers called the Chinese—to the fidelity and industry they have .shown—and the great amount of laborers of this land that have been employed upon the work. "Fellow citizens, this Pacific Kailroad is one of the greatest works the world has ever seen—one of the grandest results of human labor. [Loud cheers.| And that lalier directed to a useful ami beneficial purpose. [Cheers.] When we look back at the great works of antiquity, the walls of Babylon, the pyramids of Egypt, the great wall of China, andother great works of the ages that are post, we find what can lie accomplished by human labor, when directed by pride nnd ambition, but find little of it that has been of any benefit to mankind. Many have lieen totally destroyed, and the latest work of antiquity that has been preserved—the great pyramids ol Egypt —answers no useful purpose ; but tho great work we have just completed is a benefit—not morcly for to-day, hut will bo so for all time—not merely for ourselves, but for our children and our children's children." [Loud cheers.) This passing tribute to the toiling and patient Chinaman is justly due, and to have had no allusion or reference to what he \\nr : �II! X FKIKNI), JIL V, 1869. done would have been a most llagrant injustice. We hold to honoring those to whom honor is due, and we feel ashamed of those calling themselves Americans who are not willing to concede to the Chinese those equal rights which they yield to other foreigners coming to America. Abetter day, we hope, is dawning upon our world, anil the construction oflong lines of railroads we think eminently calculated to introduce that better era. The memorable scenes of the Bth of .May, as witnessed in Sacramento, we shall long remember, especially as we came to the coast for the very purpose of taking a trip across the continent upon the railroad, the completion of which bus made so deep an impression upon the public mind. Hoping in a day or tart) lo pass over this long line of railroad, we shall endeavor at MM lut'ire linn- to pen our "notes and reflections while passing along" for the perusal of the readers of the Friend. A sAIMATII AT SACIIAMK.NTO. Alter attending the grand railroad celebration it was our privilege to spend u quiet and pleasant Sabbath at Sacramento. In the morning we attended the First CongrogntinnaLChiirch where the Key. I. E. Dwinell, D. D., officiate! as minister. His discourse this morning was based upon that remarkable passage, Prepare ye the way of the Lord ; make straight in the desert ;i highEvery valley shall be way for our («od. exalted, and every mountain and hill shall In' made low, and the crooked shall be made straight and lha rOUgh places plain." Unless our memory is at fault, be also read another passage as a part of bis text from the prophet Nahum: "The chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. The chariots shall rage in the streets ; they shall jostle one against another in the broad way ; they shall seem like torches, they shall run like lightning." It required no very wayward flight of the bearer's imagination to convert the prophet N,.hum's chariots into Steam engines "with llaming torches," raging through the streets, and hurrying like lightning along the Central Pacific Kailroad and over the dizzy era's, anil fearful chasms of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The pastor improved the occasion for directing the attention of his hearers to some nl the higher aspects of the results which would flow from the construction of rail mads, and especially of the gnat Pacific Kailroad. He rapidly sketched the history of this groat undertaking, which had been now so successfully carried forward to completion. When this was done, he most easily and happily carried the mind of the " hearer forward to n more elevated plune of thought, and led him to contemplate God's providential plans in thereby elevating the social and moral condition of the human race. Most beautifully the preacher described the happy results which might be expected to flow from encircling the globe with a line of railroads and steamboat lines of communication. No longer could the inhabitants of the globe be kept apart and estranged from each other. These vast enterprises were unquestionably designed " to prepare the way for the Lord." His closing appeal on behalf of the Sabbath, and the principles of sobriety and temperance, was thrillingly interesting and impressive. Most sincerely we hope this most admirable discourse will lie published and extensively circulated. The sentiments which it contained are well calculated to do a vast amount of good when disseminated among the people. As a finished literary elfort this sermon possessed points of real excellence. There was a rhythmical and graceful flow of language which fell upon the ear in pleasing cadence and rounded periods. It was never our privilege previously to listen to a discourse of the Congregational pastor of Sacramento, but if his other discourses are in this style of composition, thought and delivery, we are not surprised that his services should have been sought, for the professorship of the Pacific Theological Seminary, or that his people cried, "No," when they supposed he might leave his pastorate lor another field of labor. While Sacramento has always experienced many ol the depressing moral influences arising from its position as a mining center of operations and travel, yet we were glad to find that there were many earnest laborers who were striving to do good among the people, both resident and transient. There exists in Sacramento a Young Men's Christian Association which keeps open a free reading room and library, liesides furnishing a room for weekly and monthly meetings for prayer and religious conference. The cause of temperance has many earnest advocates among the Sacramentans. On Sabbath afternoon, we attended a meeting of the Band of Hope. This is an organization among the children who have associated and banded themselves together, solemnly pledging each other that they will abstain from t/te use of intoxicating liquors, the use of tobacco and profanity. The meeting at which we were present was numerously attended by both children and adults. Dr. Haswell is President of the association, and appears to ho very enthusiastic in the good cause. The Band of Hope is organized under the direction of the order of Good Templars, about whom we have already written. 51 The young people, members of the Band of Hope, honored the editor of the Frit?ul, by electing him an honorary member. He was not disposed to decline the honor inasmuch as the rules did not require any great amount of self-denial on his part. We hope there is and tho use " a great gulf" fixed between us of intoxicating liquors, tobacco and profanity. In the evening we were present at the Monthly Sabbath School Concert, of the Key. Dr. Dwinell's Church. It was numerof the speakers was ously attended. One of the American SunMr. I'eters, an agent visit to Union, School who is employed day destitute regions anil districts of California, for the purpose of establishing Sabbath schools. No more worthy, useful and noble object. Great good in this way has already been accomplished. Thus ended a most agreeable Sabbath spent in a city at present occupying a most advantageous position for exerting a moral and political influence upon this great nnd growing State of California. VISIT TO THK MINT OK SAN FKANCISCO. Just before leaving San Francisco wo visited the Mint. It is situated in the most busy part of the city, and the accommodations arc narrow and contracted. It was interesting to examine the various processes which the gold undergoes from the time it enters in the forms it presents when dug from the earth until it comes forth in bright gold pieces. At the time of our visit there was some stir among those connected with the establishment in consequence of the removal of the late superintendent. We find the subject thus discussed in a late number of the JV. Y. Times. We republish it because these paragraphs contain some interesting statistics respecting the Mint of San Francisco. " The facts are these : Three thousand miles from Washington, almost in another country, a United States Mint has been for some fifteen years coining the bullion intrusted to it by private citizens, under the superintendence of an official—B. Swain. Ks,|.—known and esteemed by all parties for his integrity and ability. His Subordinates and employees have been equally valued and trusted by the whole community of California for their honesty and fidelity. No Kepublican or Democrat has ever breathed a word of reproach ngainst the thorough integrity ami faithfulness of all these Mint officials. Mr. Swain himself is a man of fortune and high position outside of his official place. It will interest our readers to know something t>( the honest work done by these California office-holders. In the course of each year some 830,00(1,000 worth ol bullion are put into the hands of these men for coining, being deposited by some twelve thousand different persons, and requiring sixty l/uiiisand separate assays. So necessary is loss and wastage, that the Covernmerit allows one-fifth of one per cent, on the amount of bullion handled. Thif �52 TII X HIILMI, JII LV legal wastage in gold would bo in one year 19,810. That is the loss allowed to the Superintendent. We need not say that, under ft political Superintendent, appointed suddenly by n successful party, this has boon usually tho loss, whether through incomnotcneyordishonosty. Under the changes threatened, this amount will certainly go ' up the chimneys,' as the saying is in Snn Francisco. Under Mr. Swain's management this legal loss wns reduced in one year (I8(i<>) to • fcL'.P-'li; and in silver, owing to the silver contained in gold, there was no loss, but a gain of B.), 141, though the legal loss wus »:i,290. In the coiner's department the results are equally remarkable. During the year IKOO the legal loss allowed him was 844JM3j the real loss was only $1,0(5:1. Taking gold and silver together in that year, 830,000.000 ofbullion were manipulated in the San Francisco Mint, and the legnl wastage was 8100,0:17, which of course could have gone into the pockets of the Superintendent and his subordinates, nnd which '"ill undoubtedly do so with their political successors. The real loss to the Governmentwas only five hundred and sixty-three dollars! Wo hear much of California ' sharpers ' and rogues (and undoubtedly our California fellow-citizens are tolerably wide awake), but wo should like to know of any important •fie* managed with half such integrity and business efficiency as this. General (Irani is said to have a leaning toward honest men who do pablic work its il it were their own. We commend to him these simple facts in San Francisco. This Mint, as is well known, is an important national institution. It was established in \SM, and has coined since then over 1940,000,000, or half the amount coined by the Philadelphia Mint since 1T93. Il had accommodations for coining $.',,000,0(10 |mt annum, hut so efficient has be*>n its manageuii ul that its work is from four to live tiim\s that amount. This well conducted business establishment, mnnngod by a Republican and an appoint** of Mr. Lincoln's, saving to the country nearly one hundred thousand dollars a year, and, above all, showing the nation that public business was capable of lieing conducted as honestly nnd thoroughly ns any private business, one might have supposed wns safe from being the prize of successful partisans in an election campaign." A BANKKR's COUNTIIY KKMHKNT. While at Belmount, attending the Sabbath School Picnic, we improved the opportunity of visiting the new edifice built by W. U. Knlston, Esq., tho Hanker nnd President ofthe California Bank. It is situated slxtut a half mile from ihe depot, entirely obscured from the view ol nil pulilic travel. A road leading thither has been constructed at great expense by the proprietor of tho rising palatial residence. The building is difficult to describe.

He was a member of the Sunday-school of St. George's Church in this city. In that church he was confirmed in the spring of lH )iJ. He was ordained a Deacon in 1880,and first employed in the ministry as mi assistant to the Hector of St. George's Church. Hi! was subsequently minister of tho church ut Bergen Point, New Jersey, where he was ordained a Presbyter. His mind was much directed afterward to the peraonal deminds of Foreign Missions, ami held much eorrespo,nleiice in reference In an engagement in (hat important ministry. The way not being tHaned for his entrance upon any desired branch of this work, he directed his attention to the territory ol Nevada, and went thither as the first minister ol the Episcopal Church there.

It wus the lirst lime. Often befora had hi taken his "bitters" when hurrying down bis lunch at the eating house near the store ; but this wns the lirst time he had been sensibly overcome by any strong drink. HU I'nthcr had brandy nnd wine in the rlnu't, never on the table, always under lock nnd key —never supposing that thi! boy had a key, too, to the snine closet. Hoys are pretty sharp—sharper thnn The faMo some excellent fathers suppose. of the old crnb who told the young cnih that he ought to go stmight instead of sidcwise, mitl whet the response from crnb junior, "Why do you go sidcwise yourself?" busa its echo ill the household life of many father and son to-dny. It was the cast! in this instance. Thu good old man wanted the boy to tlo well. llu did bis best to conceal from him and the rest of the family his own appetite for strong drink. Ho would not willingly have set him it bud example ; but when the paternal uycs blink and grow bloodshot, mid the paternal nose becomes rubicund, there is no lock so strong, no key so complicated as to shut tho secret from the family and the world. Tom not only knew that his lather dnuik, hut he tlmnk from his father's bottle*. It wns a hrigltt September afternoon, Tom had bean playing bmball with some of his friends; or rather, he hud been trying to play lor there was an unsteadiness about his gait, Slid a wlhlW in his eye, which made it as probable that hi! would hit somebody in the bend with the ball ns that he would semi it as halls ought lo be Mat He was excused, and his place filled by somebody else. Peeling hatlly, be wanted to lie down on the i;rass ; bill a couple of kind friends perceived what was the mutter with him, nnd thought lit! hnd better go home while he was at least puriinlly able to work his own passage. •' Come Tom, we will go home with you. Stand up like n man, old fellow. Here's nil arm on each side of you. Now, put nno fool before the other ami more along." Hut the stupefied brain refused to telegram the Word dntvll lo the unwilling feet which way to go, or what to do, and Tom didn't move slong in good style. Something's got to be done, boys—quick, too, for he's getting bad." And poor foui, •;ettin;; every minute more limpand hclph- ; •• �tII E f 111 I S D, JUf. V, lh«l 54 unconsciously resigned himself into their hands, that they might do whutever they pleased with him. A grocer's large wheelbarrow was brought into requisition, and, with his head drooping to one side, and his legs dangling over tho-end of the uncomfortable vehicle, poor Tom rode to the door of his father's house. Fnthcr was out, and the friends lifted the poor lad up-stairs and laid him out on a sofa, where he slept and snored as only those who are Under the influence of strong drink do sleep and snore. The sleeping and the snoring go on for a while, and pa comes bqjne. The room where the favorite closet is, is the same to which Tom has been carried, and is the first room in the house which the old gentleman visits. As he goes to unlock the closet, he sees and hears ihe slumbering and snoring Tom. Shall he be angry, or shall he pity him? He hardly knows which. Never wns so embarrassed in his life. His own son— evidently drunk. Drunk by his father's example. No! stop a moment. " Was I ever drunk? Did he ever sou me in this condition? No, he didn't; (he young rascal ! lie ought to be thrashed. Needs a lesson now at the beginning, and perhaps he will never do it again. 1 will thrash him, big as he is. Here, Tom ! Wake up there, sir! What's the meaning of this ? Give an account of yourself, sir !" Hut it is hard work to wake the poor boy out of his drunken sleep. Let him sleep on, old gentleman, and ho will give! you an account of himself when he wakes up. You will take your little nip meantime, will you ? And do you notice any diminution in the amount of brandy in that bottle as you take it out of the closet ? Not particularly. You do not scrutinize very closely as you quietly withdraw it from the closet and as quietly put it back again. Well, after a while the alcohol goes out of the poor boy's hrain, and he begins to be himself again. But it is slow and stupid work. Poor fellow? It would be ridiculous, were it not so sad. Where am I, and what's the matter." Matter enough," responds the old man, " in no very mild tones. " You ure drunk, sir? Thats what's the matter!" " " " "D-d-d-runk? d-d-d-runk? d-d-did you— hie—say, d-d-dnd ?" " Yes, sir; you've been lying here, in my house, dead drunk! drunk as a fool! Now, what have you to say for yourself!" "Sa-a-a-ay? Wh-h-hv—fact is—h'c— fact is—h'c—d-d-dnd, I-I-I g-g-got it—h'c— out—out—o' your b-b-bott—he—bottle !" " Out of my bottle I O God ! And is my son drunk, for the first time, out of his own father's bottle? 0 God! forgive him and forgive me !" And the old man rushed to the closet, took his brandy-bottle and his gin-bottle, and his wine-bottle, and dashed them down on the slone floor of the fire-place, and said, "God help me never to touch liquor again! —and God help poor Tom !" And then he put his arms around poor Tom's neck and cried like a baby. Poor old man I Tho fetters were upon him, and tho shaking them ofT was not the Work of a moment, nor was it the easy work that tho dashing down of a few bottles, in a moment of terrible remorse indicated. The habit was one of too long standing to be rid of so speedily. And after a few days the craving for stimulus carried its poor siave to the " Importer of Genuine Liquors," and the key of the closet was again turned on a few bottles of " genuine " poison for " private consumption. And poor Tom '.' His first drank was not his last. A few tears of contrition ; a few resolutions made in his own strength— hroken in his own weakness; a few strivings to do better, chilled by the reflection, "Father does it —why shouldn't 1?" and poor Tom's regular habit was to get drunk. Poor boy ! Ho went into the army. Forced marches and exposure in all sorts of weather were too much for a constitution Undermined by habitual intoxication, and kept np by the abominable liquid lire supplied hy the sutlers. Tom is go:ie. Tom's father survived him. Too late to save Tom, he saw the error of his own ways. Hod heard his earnest cry for deliverance Irom the destroyer, and the temperance sermon preached hy poor Tom's life and death look such n hold on the old man's saddened heart, that for three years before his death not one drop of strong drink went down his throat. My boy, beware of your lirst drunk. Don't touch a drop of the poison, no matter who sets you the example. Good father, smash your bottle, [dense, if Don't wait till you have it in the closet. the power of your example has taken such fast hold of your boy that he is a drunkard. Temperance Advocate. " — Have I no Father ! " I was once in an awful storm at sea ; we were for many hours tossed about in sight of dangerous rocks ; the steam engines would work no longer; the wind raged violently, and around were heard the terrific, roar of the breakers, and the dash of the waves, as they broke over the deck. At this dreary and trying- time, while we lay, as might be said, at the mercy of the waves, I found great comfort and support from an apparently trilling circumstance, it was, that the captain's child, a little girl of about twelve years old, was in the cabin with us. He had come two or three times, in the midst of his cares aud toils, to sec how his child went on, and it is well known how cheering is the sight of a captain in such a time of danger. As our situation grew worse., I saw the little girl rising on her elbow and bending her eyes anxiously to the door as if anxious for her father's reappearence. He came at last. He was a large, bluff*, sailor-like man ; an immense coat, an oil skin cap with flaps great sea on his neck were streaming down hanging with water. He fell on his knees on the floor beside the low berth of his child, and stretched his arms over her, but did not ' No, father, I will not bo afraid if you take me with yen. O! father let me he with yon !' and she threw her rums around his neck, and clung fast to him. The strong man was overcome; he lifted bis child in his arms, mid carried her away with him. How much I felt her departure ! As long as the captain's child was near, I fell her to be sort of pledge for the return and cure of the captain. I knew that in the moment of greatest danger the father would run to his child; 1 wns certain that were the vessel about to be abandoned in the midst of the wild waves, I should know every movement, for the captain would not desert his child. Thus in the presence ofthat child I had comforted myself, and when she went, I felt abandoned, and for the first time fearful 1 rose, and managed to get on deck. The sea mid sky seemed one. It was a dreadful ! and shuddering, 1 shrunk back and threw my **lf again on my couch. Then the thought ; the child is content, sinis with her lather; 'and have I no father V O God, I thank thee! in that moment 1 could answer, ' Yes.' An unseen father, it is true ; and faith is not as sight, mid nature is not as grace ; but still 1 knew I hud a Father; a Father whose love surpnsseth knowledge. The thought calmed my mind. Reader, does it calm yours ? Oh ! cries the trembling soul, the storm is fearful; the sky is hid; we walk in darkness and have no light. He still and know thai I am Clod,' saith the Lord ; be happy, and know that God is thy Father. ' Fear not, fori am with thee ; he not dismayed, for lam thy God.' All things are, under the dominion of Christ, and all things, yea, even terrible things shall work together for good to them that love God. Tempest tossed soul ; as the child clung to her father's bosom, so cling thou to thy God; in the moment of thine extremity he will appear to he with thee, or take thee to be with him.' came ' The London Missionary Society is building a new ship in the place of the John Williams, wnich wns wrecked last year She among the islands of the Pacific, is named the Samoa, from the Society's principal mission in Polynesia which was founded hy the Key.

Examining Committee. Oahu ColeJgau98,ntedh1869. 1,0th. The Committee have attended each of the exercises of this Examination. We have been much pleased, and have observed marked progress and improvement. The most noticable advance is in the increase, so desirable, of the amount of Natural Science taught in the school. We were glad to note a greater clearness and promptness in the scholars' replies. In this there is still room for improvement. The olasses in Greek and Latin showed their usual thorough training by the accomplished President. A class in Natural Philosophy and one in Astronomy were deserving of especial notice fur the fulness and accuracy of the knowledge shown hy the pupils. In 'ieouietry and Surveying there WSJ good proficiency. We would remark the peculiar neatness of the diagrams. The examination as a whole gave clear evidence of patient and skillful labor on the part of the teachers, and creditable exertions on the part of the scholars. Both have acquitted themselves well. The Declamations and Orations on Thm-sday evening were, as a whole, of an unusually high order. The music was artistic, and the singingshowed skillful training. It appears to the committer however, that the songs selected should have embraced some elevated or stirring sentiments, exhibiting music not merely as a handmaid to the sense, but serving in the higher ministrations of the spirit.

Our expenditures for various objects have been this year greatly enlarged, so that notwithstanding the receipts of the last few weeks, which have been poured in upon us so largely, we close our year with a much smaller sum than we reported last June, it is very necessary that we have a considerable sum in our Treasury at the closeof the missionary year, as our receipts during the few months following are usually, at that season, very small, and our expenses necessarily very large, as it is then we dispatch the Morning Star on her yearly voyage to Micro- nesia. In accordance with the suggestion of the General Association made last year, the following table presents the contributions of each church to our Treasury during the past year. From this it appears that the average contribution to our Board this year of each church member, is not far from half a dollar. And it should be remembered that this is less than one third of the total contributions of our churches to religious objects, as reported last year. It will be noticed thatthere are a few churches among us, that have not contributed any thing during the year to the general work of the church. There are doubtless local reasons for this, but it is a matter of regret that any excuse should be considered-valid for such n neglect. And it is remarkable that some of the churches, in apparently most untoward circumstances, should have done so nobly for the cause of missions. The Lord will bless those who thus remember him and his work. Those churches which have a star attached to them, have sent in their contributions since the close ot the Treasurer's books on the 15th of May, nnd previous to May 29th, too late .... .... 57 {mitsmti,M.2t.

There have been four classes,as follows: In 1863, 13 pupils; 1865, 11 pupils; 1867, 19 new pupils j and in 1868, 12 more. Four of these have died, 13 have been ordained, and 12 have been licensed to preach. One of those ordained, and one ofthe licensed, have fallen. One licensed minister has gone to Micronesia, and three others are accepted by us as candidates for the foreign work.

We have during the year received from tho American Bible Society a part of the new and beautiful edition of the Hawaiian Bible and Testament. The cost of the new Bibles and Testaments received was $2,400 50 in American currency. The American Bible Society very kindly allow our accounts to stand open, we paying them the avails of the Bibles when sold. We regret that so large a portion of the first invoice were bound expensively. Had the cheapest binding been used, tho whole invoice would probably, before this, have been disposed of. The remainder of the edition is probably on its way from PI. V., in the cheaper binding ; also a small cheap new edition ofthe Testament and Psalms, most kindly prepared by the American Bible Society, under Key. E. W. Clark's supervision. On the arrival of these new books, we shall endeavor to give them a prompt and wide circulation, perhaps employing one or more colporteurs, as suggested by the General Association of last year. We have added two new question books for the use of Sabbath schools ; No. 3 having been translated by Rev. E. Bond, and No. 4by Key. W. P. Alexander. Another question book is in the course of preparation by Rev. O. H. Gulick. The circulation of the Alaula has been somewhat larger than during the year before, being about 2,800 copies; yet we could desire that its circulation were still further increased, as it might easily be. We take greet satisfaction in announcing that the commentary on Matthew by Rev. J. F. Pogue, has been revised and is now all but ready for the press ; and that the Bible Text Book, translatedand arranged by Messrs. B. W. Parker and L. Lyons, is also ready for publication. The Rev. E. W. Clark reports the Bible Dictonary as more than two thirds translated. We hope to be able to make arrangements with the Tract Societies of America, by which these invaluable works will ere long be in the hands of our pastors and students. We hnve this year printed at these Islands in six different languages 19 different publications—six in the Hawaiian langnage, two in that of the Marquesas Islands, four for the Gilbert islands, three for Marshall Islands, one for Kusaie, and two for Ponape, making a total of2,169,600 pages; besides which, we have received 1,058,715 pages from the presses of the American Bible Society. There have been put into circulation on these Islands 1,393, 397 pages of Hawaiian publications in book form during the year, besides what is equal to about 500,000 of Alaula, and besides about 179,660 pages of Chinese works.

The Christians of the Samoa Islands stand ready to press in to the southern islands, and how can we request FOREIGN DEPARTMENT. The Morning Star * The Morning Star performed her second voyage to Micronesia in 1868, leaving Honolulu, June 26th, and returning December 16; and on the 4th of March, 1869, she started for the Marquesas Islands, returning again to Honolulu on the 30th of April. Attention should be drawn to the fact that we cannot maintain a vessel of this kind, without a large expenditure of money. We have received from the American Board since June last for the Morning Star $4,200. She has earned the sum of $1,000 06 during the year. The voyage to Micronesia, with repair, cost $5,972 14, and the voyage this spring to the Marquesas has cost $1,521 80, making a total of $7,493 94, of which $2,192 88 were from the contributions of our own churches. And it is to be expected that our expenditures for our vessel will increase rather than diminish as our missions grow. Micronesia. American Missionaries.— Gilbert Islands —Rev. H.

Tarawa and Apaiang were last summer in a very agitated state from a civil war. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham, and Mr. and Mrs. Mahoe, suffered much from the savages, and escaped narrowly with their lives during the ten weeks while the Morning Star was gone to the west. Yet there were 27 reported as having been admitted to the church during the year ending June, 1868. The receipts from the sale of books and monthly concert, though not large, are under the circumstances very gratifying, as will be seen by the appended table. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham have been diligently engaged during the last six months, in superintending the printing of severalworks in Honolulu. It is questionable whether their health will be sufficient to make it advisable, that they visit the Gilbert Islands again this year At Butaritari, the work has made very satisfactory progress. The young men are greatly interested in learning to read. Several are spoken of by the Hawaiian missionaries as hopefully pious; and though not a single person has been admitted to the church, the monthly concert contributions in oil amount to $41 75, and the avails of books to $63 12. And this from the island from which, three years ago, our missionaries fled in fear of their lives! The Marshall IslantN. It is a very encouraging feature of the work on Ebon, that a number of natives have been selected as teachers of the day schools. A part of the avails of their monthly concert, oil, will this year be devoted to thesupport of their own teachers, whom they propose to send out to other islands, it will be seen in the accompanying table, that the monthly collections and the avails for books both from Ebon and Nawuvrik are very large. They are bright examples to all our missions. Mr. Snow is invited to visit the United States of America, by the return of the Morning Star. Mr. H. Aea is much improved in health, and will return in the Morning Star to Ebon. The Caroline Miuid.-. The Christians of Kusaie welcomed Mr. Snow in October last. He found that 13 individuals had been set aside by the action of the native Christians themselves during the year. Ten of these were restored, while Mr. Snow was with them, on a public confession of sin, which melted many to tears, and even the King, who is not a church member, had to wipe his. eyes.

Kauwealoha has much reason to be encouraged by the success of his Girls' Boarding School, which numbers eight pupils. The Boys' Boarding School has met serious difficulties from the wild dissipations at Puamau, but further efforts will be made the coming year. The church at Hanamenu continues steadfast, though they have no missionary among them; and four have been admitted to membership in that valley during the year. It is very gratifying to be able to report $73 10, monthly concert contributions from the Marquesan Islands, by this return of the Morning Star, $44 26 of which were from Kauwealoha's church on Uapou. Mr. Pogue reports the system of day schools as not being very actively kept up, and that the pupils are still mainly women, with a few men and almost no children. Mr. Pogue remarks : " The great lack of these churches the past year, has been an outpouring of the Holy Spirit." A general meeting was held at Omoa, at which many important subjects were discussed. It was decided that Kaiwi should commence a select school at Omoa, for tho express purpose of fitting persons as teachers.

May they always be ready to do battle for the right and truth. fltnrrlies. As your committee have listened to the station reports, they have been pained lo hear the repeated expression, " The Holy Spirit has not been with us the past year." This is a cause of grief. Our labors will all be in vain unless this Blessed Spirit aid in the work. The past year has lieen one of dearth. Not many from their wanderings have entered the fold of the Good Shepherd. In some respects, however, there has been progress. Many of the churches have contributed of their substance for the Kingdom of Christ. Meetings on the Sabbath have been well attended. Sabbath schools have been in a flourishing condition. The work has not retrograded. Progress has been made. The great thing which we desire, and without which our churches must die, we have not had—the outpouring of the Spirit. The cause of this destitution is in ourselves, not in God. Our hearts have not been prepared to be a dwelling place for this Holy Spirit. We would acknowledge with shame our shortcoming in this res|«sct. We have been engaged strongly in the work of the Lord, but we have not looked up to God and felt our dependence, as we should have done. We have rather trusted to our own wisdom and leaned upon our own strength ; hence we have not obtained the blessing. While with confusion of fear we thus acknowledge our shortcoming in the past, we would exhort all the members of the association, both clerical and lay, to cleanse themselves from all those things which hinder the Working of the Spirit among us. Let us eradicate from our hearts those things which grieve the Spirit. Then rencwedly lay ourselves at the feet of Jesus, trusting alone on him for success. Denying ourselves and taking up our cross, let us follow him. Then, if we ask, we will obtain that which wo so Much desire and need, the dwelling with us of the Spirit of God Brethren and fellow laborers, lei us humble ourselves before God ; bring all the tithes into the store-house, then will the Lord bless us, and we shall be blessed.

HONOLULU, AUGUST 2. 18C9. Chinese. This good work among the Chinese portion of our community is both intcresiing and encouraging. Since the latter part of May, Sabbath evening services have been regularly held in the Bethel, Mr. Aheong having htid on every occasion an attentive congregation, varying from about sixty to one hundred in number. On account of many of his hearers coming from various parts of China, he has always preached in two different dialects, so that all might comprehend. " The truth as it is in Jesus," has been plainly set before them. To accommodate all present, Mr. Aheong presents his text in three different languages—English, Hawaiian anil Chinese. In connection with the Sabbath service, a Tuesday evening prayer meeting has been held in the Bethel Vestry ; average attendance about eighteen. Several have taken part in speaking and praying, and it is encouraging to know that light seems dawning on several minds. One has declared his desire " to be one of God's people." At a late prayer meeting, one present arose and addressed his countrymen on the benefits they were receiving, and the need of giving something towards helping the Hawaiian Missionary Board. Accordingly, at the following Sabbath evening service many came forward voluntarily and cheerfully gave for the cause, $ 12 70 having been presented from willing hearts. Two evening free schools for Chinese arc in progress in Honolulu. Several of the scholars manifest an eager desire to learn to read the English language, and arc doing uncommonly well. A very intelligent young man entered one evening as a new scholar, wholly unacquainted with the alphabet, and in a little more than half nn hour he had learnt it completely. The efforts put forth (o instruct them are much appreciated by the scholars. One Saturday evening a few weeks ago, two of the pupils attending the school in the Bethel Vestry appeared at the teacher's cottage with a large basket well stocked vvith cakes and fruit, wishing to express in more than words their gratitude for having a school to attend during their few leisure hours. The school is opened and closed with prayer. On one occasion the teacher was called away on urgent business, and left the exercises of the evening to be conducted by a friend, who was about to commence with- out prayer, when one of the scholars earn- estly said, " you peach," " you peach "— meaning " you pray," which accordingly was done. This little incident shows that one heart there realized the propriety of looking above for help. The means used for the moral and spiritual improvement of the Chinese among us will, we trust, be blessed of God. " Despise not the day of small things," echoes from the Sacred volume. The little pebble dropped on the bosom of the ocean sends out an influence, extending all around. So the little pebbles of truth, falling on cars and hearts unused to such, will doubtless exert a goodly influence, further than ever we can see. This confidence is strengthened by the words of Him who has said, "For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven, and rcturnetli not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, lhat it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth, it shall not return unto mc void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

The State of .Minnesota embraces the territory formerly held by the far famed Dakotahs. It is difficult to realize the fact that at so recent a date th.c Indians roamed over these regions now inhabited by an industrious, busy, thriving and prosperous population of five hundred thousand. Less than a quarter of a century ago there was scarcely a thousand white inhabitants, where now there are more than half a million. The Territory ol Minnesota was not organized until 1849, and the State Government not until 1857. Since that time there has been a growth and increase almost unexampled in history. Towns and cities have sprung up, indicating not a mushroom existence, but exhibiting the elements of perpetuity and wealth. Railroads are pushing their way in every direction, and are conveying to distant markets the products of the soil. As we pass through the country, stoam up the rivers, visit the cities and towns, all is life and activity. Cargoes of labor-saving agricultural machines—mowers and reapers, thrashers and plows—are continually passing up the Mississippi and being landed at the various towns upon its banks. St. Paul, the capital of the State, is a thriving and growing city of great activity, and hor citizens are engaged in a profitable inland wholesale jobbing trade. The city is adorned with many beautiful private residences, and several handsome churches are going up. Minneapolis and St. Anthony are situated on opposite sides of the Mississippi River, at the head of navigation. At this point are the falls of St. Anthony of historic celebrity. Already the vast water-power has been made subservient to the interests of manufactures, hence Minneapolis possesses a source of �66 TH X FRIEND. A U l!

Here ure also come from Scandinavia! saw-mills converting the forests of the Upper Mississippi into lumber, while flour-mills arc grinding wheat with astonishing rapidity. We passed one mill with capacity for grinding 300 barrels of flour in a single day. Notwithstanding the vast water-power at command, still steam-power is the competitor of water power. From the chamber where we are now writing, we can hear the steamwhistle of an immensesaw-mill. With these resources for the acquisition of wealth so apparent on every side, it is gratifying to witness the desire of the people to adorn this admirable site for a city with beautiful private residences, handsome stores and churches of great architectural beauty. The Methodists of Minneapolis have just finished their Centenary church, costing $40,000. It is built of stone, and is a most substantial structure. There are in Minneapolis fifteen churches of various denominations—two Presbyterian, two Congregational, two Episcopal, one Baptist, one Universalist, one belonging to the Society of Friends, besides several others. As a people, the inhabitants of Minneapolis are a church-going people. They are fully alive to the interests of education. They take much pride in their costly and handsome public school edifices. Twenty-one years ago (1848) the Bey. Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia, visited on a summer excursion the falls of St. Anthory, and stood where we now stand. His rejections were as follows : " I visited the falls of St. Anthony. I know not how other men feel when standing there, nor how men will feel a century hence when standing there— then not in the West, but almost in the centre of the great nation. But when I stood there, I had views of the greatness of my country such as 1 have never had in the crowded capitals and the smiling villages of the East. How strange is the appearance of all that land! You ascend the Mississippi midst scenery unsurpassed in beauty. You look out for the house and the barn ; for flocks and herds; for men and women and children ; but they are not there. A race that is gone seems to have cultivated those fields, and then to have silently disappeared— leaving them for the first man that should come from the older parts of our country or from foreign lands to take possession of them. It is only by a process of reflection that you are convinced that it is not so." What lay spread out in an imaginary picture before the mind of Mr. Barnes, it is our privilege now to witness as fully realized. We now look out upon the flocks and herds, the men and women and children ; they are now here. They have come from tho East, *•* What troops have The Swede and the Norwegian are crowding the steamboats antl railway curs, pressing their way into the interior. All the inhabitants of Northern Europe appear to have become practically impressed with the idea that " Uncle Sam is rich enough to give them all a farm." They are now coming forward to take possession of the valuable gift. The United States Government sells land for $1 25 per acre ; and if the immigrant will go upon unoccupied and unprcempted lands, and will cultivate the soil for five years, then Uncle Sam will actually give the settler a farm, " without money and without price." While the tourist finds much to interest in witnessing the onward march of commerce and civilization, yet there is also much to remind him of former times and the ancient inhabitants of the soil. The aborigines have left their names upon the towns and villages. Winona, Mendota, and a thousand other Indian names, arc still retained. Occasionally too a veritable Indian may still be seen, the land of the Dakotahs. " InWhere the falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." No one visits this part of the Continent without going to view the falls, beautiful by nature, but rendered famous by the poet's pen. The visitor is prepared to look around for some trace of the Indians. A youthful member of our party expressed a desire to see the smoke curling up from an Indian's wigwam, but how sadly was our party disappointed, for instead of the wigwam inhabited by " the ancient arrow maker," whom Longfellow fancied occupied his time in making ■ Arrow-heads Of chalcedony. Arrow-heads of Hint and jasper, Smoothed and sharpened at the edges. Hard und ]mlished, keen and costly," it was our lot to see a railroad car, No. receiving a load of wheat. Thus "it 2,974," is in this busy, matter-of-fact age, a railroad has been laid along only a few feet above the far-famed falls of Minnehaha. The falls are there in all their beauty and loveliness, and we hope they may ever remain to delight the eye of the visitor, but we fear some shrewd Yankee will cast his eye upon the spot, with reference to the building of a cotton factory or a machine shop. Report however says that the falls are upon a Government reservation belonging to Fort Snelling. They arc not more than a mile from the fort. In general appearance they resemble the Rainbow Falls at Hilo, although only about one-half as high. The entire fall of water would not exceed sixty feet, and if we mistake not, the Rainbow Falls at Hilo exceed one hundred. At Minnehaha Falls we were privileged with a rainbow. In turning over a history of Minnesota, we notice that the meaning of the word minnehnha is not waters," but merely but we suppose Longfellow was privileged to indulge in a little poetic license. "All waterfalls, in the Dakotuh tongue, are called ha-ha, never minneha-ha." Neill's History of Minnesota. On the day of our visit (June 2d) to the falls of Minnehaha, we also improved the opportunity of visiting Fort Snelling. No military post in the whole valley of the Mississippi has become so historical or been associated with more interesting incident* than this fort, situated at the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. The fort is located on a high bluff, at the exact point where these two rivers mingle their waters. The view from the fort commands a prospect of both rivers, before and after they are joined. The fort was established, or its foundations were laid in September, 1820 (the very year the American Mission was commenced at the Hawaiian Islands.) From that year to the present time, this has been a central point in all military operations connected with the Indians in this part of the territory of the United States. It was a central point for all travelers to visit and from which to take their departure. Here too was organized the first Christian church in this part of the American Continent. Missionaries of the American, Presbyterian and Methodist Boards often resorted hither. This church was organized in 1535, when twenty-two persons of various denominations sat down around the table of their common Lord. On that memorable occasion a young officer by the name of Ogden publicly professed liis faith in the atoning merits of a crucified Redeemer. Throughout his subsequent career his character as a Christian man in the United States army became conspicuous. He died at a military post in Kansas only a few years ago. Mrs. Snelling, the wife of Colonel Snelling, (after whom the fort was named,) is referred to in the history of the fort and Minnesota as an eminently Christian woman. Other ladies too, wives of United States officers, were persons of excellent Christian character. In glancing over Miss H. E. Bishop's Home," or " First Years in MinneFloral «' sota," we accidentally met with the following paragraphs relating to the grandmother of our fellow-traveler, Mrs. William Hall, o Honolulu : " The first white woman who trod this ground was Mrs. Clark, wife of the Commissary (United States army); the first to endure the fatigues and enjoy the romance of a voyage on the Upper Mississippi. The water was so low that the men were obliged frequently to wade in the river and draw the boat through the mud, thus consuming six weeks in the last 300 miles. (The distance is now passed over by steamboats in one day and a half.) It was December when they exactly " laughing " water falls ; " �got into their winter quarters, and the fierce winds which swept over the prairies obliged them to keep mostly within doors. Once in a violent storm the roof of their cabin was partly removed, leaving no protection for the inmates, antl the baby for shelter was plajced itiuler tlie bed." That infant child is now the accomplished wife ol General Van Cleve of St. Anthony, and mother of Mrs. Hall. It was our privilege to meet grandmother, mother and daughter at St. Anthony. Mrs. Clark has seen much of frontier life and experienced many of its attendant hardships, but she is still cheerful and happy, retaining all her faculties with remarkable freshness, and has the current by no means lost her of life. It is affairs just fifty years ago (1S19) since she lirst passed up the Mississippi, and became located for several years at Fort Snelling. Minnesota has now a population of 500,000; hence at least 100,000 white women are now where fifty years ago there stood but iwie.' lIAKOTAII MISSION. Dr. Williamson says : " It is very remarkable that more than 360 members of the Pilgrim Church have all been converted within the last five years. About half a dozen had been baptized in infancy, and these, and a few others, perhaps, had made some progress in learning to read but five years ago only one of the whole number had ever partaken of the Lord's Supper, and he had been for some time suspended, and had never learned to read. The others were wild heathen, and none of them were received into the visible church prior to the 3d of February, 1803. The two pastors, and most of the ruling elders, learned the alphabet in the prison at Mankato, in the early months of that year, and most of the other members have learned to read since that time, (for a large majority of them now read, and use their hymn-books in public worship.) " The harvest here has been gathered in less than five years, but it was anions these Indians that Messrs. Pond, Aiton and Hancock, and our brethren of the Swiss and Methodist missions, had toiled for years. They saw little or no fruit of their lahors, which nevertheless accomplished much in ; preparing the ground." The foregoing paragraphs we copy from the Christian World. Missionary operations among the Dakotah Indians have been much hindered by the terrible massacre of 1862. The following paragraph relating to the theological opinions of the missionaries of the American Board we copy from " Neill's History of Minnesota : " " Calvinism is frequently represented by those who do not embrace its tenets, as a mure abstract system, only anxious to impress upon the race stem theological formulas ; but the journals of its missionaries BUMS the savages are always eminently cheerful, hopeful and practical.' They came to the untutored Indians of Minnesota, not with a long drawn countenance and severe exterior, but they came singing songs for the MIIKMJ. HUNT. IS 69. 67 THE little ones, and teaching the men to plow, ing books, and various elementary books, and the women to sew and knit." have also been printed in the Dakotah lanDAKOTA!! LANGUAGE. We learn that great attention has been paid to the study and arrangement of the Dakotah language. A large dictionary of the language has been published under the authority of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington nnd the Historical Society of Minnesota. The missionaries of the American Board—including S. W. and G. H. Pond, Dr. T. S. Williamson, the Rev. S. R. Riggs, and others—have been engaged in this work. Their labors commenced as early as 1834, and have been continued, with partial interruptions, down to the present time. They had so far mastered the language as to publish an extensive dictionary in 1552. This work was beautifully printed in quarto form in the city of New York by the well known publisher, G. P. Putnam. Before the printing of the work was undertaken, the manuscript was submitted to the examination of the highest linguistical talent of the country. The late President of Harvard University, C. C. Felton, gave it his sanction and approval. The final execution of the work fell to the lot of the Rev. S. R. Riggs, and in the preface, dated New York city, 1852,he thus remarks : " The preparation of the Dakotah-English part of the die-, tionary for the press, containing more than (16,000) sixteen thousand words, occupied all the time I could spare from my other missionary employments for more than a year. The labor bestowed on the EnglishDakotah part was performed partly by Mrs. Riggs." This good woman has recently died at Baliot, Michigan, and her death has been noticed in a late number of the Missionary Htrald. The execution of this important literary work was only incidental to the missionary enterprise, but it indicates what a vast amount of labor has been accomplished by those devoting their lives to the spiritual welfare of the Indians. Let no man say that such labors are not useful. The world is not expected to appreciate the missionary's efforts for the moral mid spiritual elevation of the " poor Indian," but the preparation of this dictionary is an Herculean literary undertaking. The language must be learned by mingling among roaming and migratory people. A grammar must be composed, and sixteen thousand words caug/U up, written down, defined, copied, re-copied, and finally printed. Hoe opus, Hie labor.

Formerly Indians of various tribes resorted Fort Snelling to receive their annuities and negotiate with officer) of the United States Government. In the early history of these transactions we find one incident recorded, worthy of being kept in perpetual remembrance, equally with that recorded in ancient history, wherein a certain king was willing to suffer the loss of one eye when it would save an eye of his son, who had been condemned to lose both eyes for his crimes. The fact to which we refer was this : A party of the Sissetoan Dakotahs, near Council Bluffs, in Missouri, had killed two United States soldiers. The United Slates authorities notified the tribe that they would have no intercourse with them until the murderers were given up. Deprived of blankets, powder and shot, the tribe held a council at Big Stone Lake, and the case was laid before the tribe by a man by the name of Colin Campbell. So strong an appeal wns made to these Red Men of the forest, that one Mahyah Khotah and another Indian came forward and acknowledged themselves as the murderers, and expressed their willingness to deliver themselves up to be punished by the United States Government. At this solemn moment the aged father of the latter voluntarily stepped forth and offered to go and suffer punishment in his son's place. The substitute was accepted on the part of the tribe, in council assembled. On the following day Mahyah Khotah and the old man bade adieu to their home and started for Fort Snelling. "On the 12th of November, 1820," says the historian Neill, " when about a mile distant, the party halted, smoked, and the death dirge was chanted. Blackening their faces, and gashing their arms, as a token of grief, they formed a procession, nnd inarched to the centre of the soldiers' parade c-round. First came n Sissetoan, bearing the British flag, and then one of the murderers and the aged chief, who had become an atonement for his only son. Their arms were secured by ropes of Buffalo hair, and large splinters of oak *were thrust through their flesh above the elbows to indicate their contempt of death. As they approached singing dcatli-songs, a company of soldiers was drawn up, and Colonel Snelling came out to meet them. A fire was then kindled and the British flag was burned, after which the medal of the murderer was given up, and then both surrendered themselves. The old chief was detained as hostage nnd the murderer sent to St. Louis for trial." The result of the whole affair was that the murderer was sent to St. Louis, and no witto �TUX VRI X N I), , 68 \U(.I S T , I8• t. - nesses nppcnring against him, he was dis- which have boon donated, the institution will charged.

Why should they not ? This subject will attract more and more attention in connection with that of female suffrage, We sincerely hope to see President Wushburne's report, which is now preparing, to be presented before the regents of the University of Minnesota. The worltl moves. The correction of anonymous writers carry very much weight as against official records of public assemblies. The Scribe of the General Association doubtless did all that was incumbent upon him when cannot reporting what was done, rather than what was not done, in the vote on the report in question. Are we to suppose, with the writer of the following article, that there were members of the Evangelical Association present who cared not to vote, and who suppress their own names and still desire to have their record as in the negative? This is a shuffling with which we should be unwilling to credit any members of that worthy Association. The issues of the day among us arc plain and manifest, and they require to be squarely met. EniTou of thi'. FitiENii:—ln the minutes of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, printed in your paper for July, the following remark is made about the report of a "Committee on the Annual Report:" " On motion, accepted —andafter discussion, adopted, with one dissenting vote." 1 presume this is literally true of the vote taken, and upon the greater part of the report there probably would have been no dissenting vote; bat there were some present who dissented from the remarks of the report upon " education," and did not vote at all; and some also who dissented were absent when the vote was taken. This explanation is rendered necessary by the publication of the names on the 10th page, it being presumable that all there named, with eat exception, indorsed the report, which is contrary to the fact, if taken as avholc. It printed for the information of the public, it should have been stated that several, not agreeing in this part of thereport, present and absent, did not vote.

Cay- BCoya'bsinJocker. The Russian Nobleman and Bible. In the year 1825, a rich young nobleman , was suspected of havof Russia, Mr. ing taken part in a conspiracy against the life of the Emperor Nicholas. He was arrested and thrown into prison at St. Petersburg. Naturally of a quick and violent temper, the injustice done him aroused the deepest passions of his soul, and he spent that first long December night swearing and stamping on the ground, alternately cursing the sovereign of his country who had ordered his arrest, and the Sovereign of heaven who had permitted it. Exhausted at last, he threw himself on his bed of straw, and remained there for hours in mournful silence. Thus eight wretched days .passed away. On the evening of the ninth a venerable clergyman came to pray with and for hini, and to entreat him to accept the invitation of the Saviour, who says, " Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest.''— Mat. 11:26. The only answer was a scornful laugh. On leaving, however, the old man c;aveiiini a Bible, begging him to read it. But as soon as the door was closed, Mr. W kicked it into a corner, exclaiming, " I want nothing to do with the word of a God who permits injustice;" and there the sacred book was left for days unnoticed. But time hung heavily ; hours seemed days and days months. To relieve his utter weariness, lie took up the Bible and opened it. The first verse that caught his eye impressed him deeply : " Call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver thee, and thou shaft glorify me."—I'sa. 50:15. Hut he shut the book immediately, as if ashamed to have been affected by reading anything in a Bible. The next day he opened it again, : chapters, sometimes even lenrning them by heart, and at last became so much interested that he often waited impatiently for daylight, to read and study his Bible. It was not long before he began to know something of the state of his own heart, and to see that, like every human heart, it was wicked."—Jcr. 17:9. He began "to desperately feel that in the sight of God he was a sinner, deserving eternal punishment. In his distress, he fell upon his knees, crying out, O Lord, save mc, or I perish. 0 Lord, "wash away my sins. Blot them out with the precious blood of Christ. For Jesus' sake, have mercy upon me, a miserable sinner." His prayer was answered ; he felt thnt his sins were pardoned; and now, instead of complaining of the injustice of others, he was mourning over his own sinfulness, and thinking of the love of Jesus. He asked to see the old minister ; and the joy of the good man may be imagined when, on entering tin; cell, he found the once enraged prisoner sitting with a quiet, happy countenance, rejoicing in the hope that Christ hail now become his Saviour and Friend. "At first," said , "1 considered my imprisonment Mr. W a great misfortune; but now I see why I was placed here, and I thank God for it. If 1 had continued in my prosperity, I should perhaps never have read this holy book which,by the grace of God, has led mc to Jesus." tranquilly From that time Mr. W awaited his trial, and soon the sentence of death was pronounced upon him. He listened to the verdict with calmness, asking only permission to write to his aunt and sis- The request was granted, and he sent them the following letter " You have learned from the papers that I am sentenced to be hung on the 15th of next February. Do not weep, hut rejoice, for by the grace of God 1 am not afraid to die. I know whom 1 have believed.' The ter. : ' best moment of a Christian's life is his last, for then he is nearest heaven. Death to him is only passing from a world of sin and suffering to heaven, where the redeemed of the Lord will be hnppy for ever. There I will wait for you, in that blessed land where there will be no more prisons, no more sorrow, no more sin. I wish I could see you once more on this side of the grave but as I cannot, I cheerfully submit. My tears are falling while I write, yet 1 am happy and full of peace, thinking of the blessedness promised to all who believe in Christ. This happiness will be mine already when these lines reach you. May the Almighty God, whose presence 1 now enjoy so fully in my.cell, nnd who has made me free in the midst of my chains, comfort you and be with you both unto the end." The writer of this account was in Russia at the time these events occurred, visiting , aware this aunt and sister; and Mr. W of the fact, added these few words to her, which may perhaps encourage those who are trying to save souls, but do not always see immediate results " My dear friend, you remember when you were last at my aunt's house you spoke to me more than once about the salvation of my soul; but \ was young and careless, and did not listen to you.

Tell tjicm it matters little when or how we die, whether on the gallows or in n prison, in a garret or a pnlace; tho all-important thing is, to be sure of heaven by ' looking unto Jesus.' " On the fatal day, the principal rooms in \s aunt the splendid mansion of Mr. W were draped in mourning, nnd we were all bowed down with grief; yet while we wept wo prayed and praised God, and he comforted us. When the faithful minister left him upon the evening previous to the appointed day, fell upon his knees, and in earnMr. W est prayer committed his soul to Christ, ami then for a few hours quietly slept. Before the dawn of day he was aroused by voices in the passage and steps evidently approaching his cell. " They come early to take me to the gallows," he thought, and though prepared to die, his heart beat faster. The door of the cell was thrown back, and a tall, noble form entered, which he instantly recognized as that of the Emperor. A man had just been arrested, charged with a share in the conspiracy, and upon his person was found a letter which said, " We have done all we , but in vain; he decould to enroll W clares he will remain true to his sovereign until death." The paper was immediately handed to Nicholas, and he had come himself to release him. "A few hours more," said the Emperor, " and 1 should have lost in you one of my best ollicers. Forgive my unconscious error, and accept from me, in remembrance of this day, the rank of genheart. to , where eral, and with it the castle of S I hope you may live to enjoy many happy years." Mr. W journeyed as rapidly as possifound us all sitting in a room which was hung with deep folds of crape. When he began to speak, and tell us of the mercy of God to him, tears of joy and thankfulness ran down our cheeks. As he finished his account, he added, " We have prayed to God in our distress, let us now bless him for his goodness ; especially let us thank him for having given ble to the house of his aunt, where he us his only begotten Son to be our Saviour, our Intercessor, our near Friend and Comforter in trouble." And that prayer came from full and grateful hearts. lived the life From that time Mr. W of a truly Christian man. His chief delight was to visit the poor and distressed, nnd bring them the consolation lie had himself lountl in the gospel. He built near his castle a large hospital and home for the sick and friendless, and went from bed to bed and room to room, speaking to all of the love of Christ. His Bible, just as he had used it in his cell, was placed in a rich, case and kept in his parlor, that it might remind him how Cod had rescued him not only from prison, but from eternal death. The joy nnd peace which Mr. W found in his cell is offered to us all, wherever we are and whatever our circumstances; but we can only obtain it as he did, by studying and obeying the word of God." " If you have neglected the Bible, or turned from it in scorn as he did at first, seriously determine to be so unwise no longer. Your destiny for time and eternity depends upon how you treat this book. It olfers you " eternal life."—John 3 :16. You cannot afford to neglect such an offer. fDgoC!nar'te hat." I"WronT close a It wn" near the of beautiful summer's day thut I took my hat to go abroad and enjoy the benuties of the most lovely village in the Middle States. The pure air, the declining sun, the rose and locust odors that perfumed the gardens nnd streets, refreshed my spirits and delighted my heart, after the toil and confinement of the day. Going leisurely along, 1 approached a group of boys, both large and small, in the middle of the street, engaged in earnest conversation. Some Dade expressive gestures with the hands; several were speaking at once; others, all ears, were listening, or, all eyes, were looking. Some were earnest, some vexed, .some doubting. 1 cast my eyes over their healthy, happy, bright, intelligent faces, and thought how soon manhood would steal over them, and they be called to stand where their fathers stootl.

I looked at the speaker, a blue-eyed, light-haired hoy, whose slender frame and agile motions were full of grace. He did not look as though he could utter and act upon a sentiment like that. And, as 1 walked on, with no other thought to interest me, the words of the boy were resolved in my mind. Wrong 1 don't care for that!"

Quietly and beautifully it stood beneath the shadow of tall trees. It seemed as if the refinement and elegance which education, piety and wealth threw around its interior, with the rural beauty and deep quiet which surrounded it, made this home a sanctuary where his rash anil unholy expression could find no favor, however it might astonish or delight his play-fellows. Many years have parsed since then. I often think of those village boys, antl, often as opportunity occurs, impure with deep interest what nook they fill in the great World's theatre. And 1 now know that two of that group have finished their earthly career, and gone into eternity. The first who died was George. All men spoke well of him. * ' A licautiful brig ol the United States navy was steadily making her way over tho broad Atlantic, on the last «i( the year (18412.)

The safety of the vessel demanded immediate attention and prompt action, —they were doomed to die! to die soon,—to die quick. "One hour!" besought an unfortunate youth. An hour passed. All hands were called on deck ; officers were armed with cutlass and pistol, the watch was prepared,—the signal given,— the cannon rolled, —the bodies of three were hanging on the yard-arm !

Consequently tho directors in tlsvtr next ■euorsJ leittr, advised him to return in Honolulu, wlit re he could have the benetlU or the Queen'slioapilal. Dr. Gulick wont ut this lime as dklegate, aud was tho bearer of this letter. In their general meeting-, themissionaries approved of Kapohaku's r< turning with Dr. Gulick on board tit' the Murnimj Star. Dr. Gulick In his report says " This blind missionary ot yours If a rare man —not indeed taught in your high schools, but of tie' .Spirit. I admire and lam bim its rcfh-cling the image of llim, who, I hope, is also my 1/ord and my God. His enthusiasm in his Master's (muse is edifying and invigorating. When I told him Of the desire of account of hi indue**, the Hoard of Directors ttiat he iv.urn be expressed a readiness to tin so, but with the wish to again he a missionary, should Ins eyesight return." While at the Queen's Hospital his sight was so much improved that h'< could walk the street! without a guide, and could distinguish persons and oHjootS "ear at hnnd, but he whs never able ngain to see so as to read and write. Aided snd accompanied by MM of his friends, he made a tour of the Hawaiian Islands, interesting the people very much in his description of the character and condition of the i»or heathen. While at Lihue, on Kauai, the people there, together with the (lovernor of Lhat island, earnestly requested him to stop with them and become their minister. He remained there for mo it: than a .year, and then returned to Honolulu and labored as an assistant preucher with Key. I*. Smith, his former pastor. KapohakuV preaching was so acceptable slid satisfactory to the pastor, church aud congregation at Kaumaknpili, lhat in 18li»j, when Key. I. Smith Imd leave of absence for a year to visit his native bind, he cheerfully cmplicd with the request of the church that Kupohaku be their preaclnr during his absence. On the return of the pastor in June, 18GC. Kapohaku was requested to continue bts tabors, and alternate with the pastor in preaching on the Snbhath, and to aid also in conducting meetings during the week. 1h April. IW7. the districts of Moanaluaand Kalihl were set off and organised into at- independent church. A large majority of the church metril-ers in these two districts immediately niade a call lo t, Kapohaku to become their ministerand pastor, offering him a salary of $150 a year. As a licensed preacher he labored faithfully and succcsslully among Ihem till the day of his death. On three different occasions duihig his missionary and ministerial life, Paulo Kapohaku very narrowly escajied death. I. When his house was set on fire at Heteani,he was asleep and alone, and barely escaped the devourine Monies. 2. In August, IS6B, when bis bouse wns fired at Kalilu, he was alone and asleep, v, ith the BtW« and hymn-book by bis side, till the heat of the flames awoke him. BeifiDf his Uihle and hymn-book, and wrapping his blanket around his head and face, be rushed through tho surrounding llatues and escaped. 3.

As early as February we made our calculations that the Pacific Railroad would be sufficiently completed to convey passengers by the first of May. The result proved that we were not far from right. Every morning's report in the daily papers indicated that each day from three to six miles were completed, while on some days the track layers finished even ten miles. The last spike was driven May 10th, and the first through train of cars had arrived at the spot where the ceremony took place. This train immediately left for Sacramento, and reached that city on the morning of the 12th. The President and Directors of the Central Pacific Road, together with the through passengers, arrived on that train. We arrived in Sacramento that day, and were prepared to start on the first return trip, May 13th. We improved the opportunity to gather from the officers of the road and passengers such information as would enable us to pass over the long route without unnecessary fatigue and anxiety. We would especially acknowledge our indebtedness for useful information to Dr. Harkness, of Sacramento, who had just returned from Promontory Point, where the last spike was driven, and who has taken much interest in the grand enterprise. According to his advice, we delayed our departure until the morning of the 13th, which fortunately enabled us to join an overland party of travelers from Honolulu, including Capt. Worth, of Hilo; J. T. Waterhouse, Esq., wife and daughter ; Mrs. Hall, and Mr. and Mrs. Owen ; hence our party now consisted of ten. In accordance with Dr. Harkness' suggestion, we provided ourselves with about the same supplies for the 'ourney that we should have done, provided we had started off for a day's picnic excur- �74 111 X rll X N l>, SKPTKMBKR, IBfi I.

' " " �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, Salt Lake. We had read for years of this great inland ocean, but yet we could hardly believe that at last we stood on its very shores. We gathered some pebbles from the sacred soil, rendered so famous by the ploits of the Mormons. At noon we reached Promontory Point, where but a few days before the connection was made. We were now forced to say " good-bye " to the people of the Central Pacific, and nobly have they accomplished their share of the work. The laurel tie is gone, and another of more common wood is there, over which we islanders joined hands. Ogden was welcomed by all after a long afternoon's ride over sage covered plains. Its green fertile fields and smooth rolling hills were to our tired eyes like the first sight of land after a long voyage, or as the first green verdure of spring. The fields were filled with wild flowers, and the song of the meadow lark was heard on every side. Ogden is the second city in size to Salt Lake city in Utah. From this point passengers take stages to Salt Lake. We should have enjoyed a visit to the city of Brigham Young had the railroad been completed, but were obliged to postpone it to some other time. As we passed on, the train from Chicago arrived, and we merely exchanged papers. Late in the afternoon we entered the famous Weber Canon. The rain was falling in torrents, and everything betokened a stortrl. The track wound through the most romantic ravines and gorges, which those who have traveled the world over say are unsurpassed, even by the finest scenery of Switzerland. On advancing, the rocky defiles became narrower, and the mountains loomed far above us with their veil of mist and snow. The thunder muttered angrily through the gorges, and the lightning flashed with a faint flickering glare. The wind had risen, and blew in little fitful gusts up the canon. We could see below us a roaring, tumbling mountain torrent, swelling every moment and tossing high its crest of whitish foam. From our wild eyrie the grand forest trees seemed like shrubs, and the houses in the valley like mere toy:--. Knowing there was danger, we were becoming rather excited, when all of u sudden we came to a halt. There had been a landslide ahead which had covered the track. And now what was to be done? Night was rapidly coining on, and we needed a little army of workmen to clear it off, and we had neither these nor the necessary implements. Quick as thought, in the driving rain they place a battery on a rock near by, and throwing n wire over the telegraph a connection was made, and we soon had as many men as desired from the next station. They petformed tbeir wurk, and we soon parsed on. Now ex-1 came the terrible trestle-work bridge at the Devil's Gate. It is builtovera rushing mountain stream, which threatens every moment to engulf it. And here the scene baffles description—that great sweeping river and the beetling, awful cliffs of the Devil's Gate ! It is a picture of sublimity and grandeur that each one must see (or himself, for no pen or even painter's brush can adequately portray it. We drew one long breath of relief when safely over. It was a beautiful twilight as we enlered the circular valley of Weber Canon. The snow-robed mountains formed a grand amphitheatre, enclosing far-spread- ing fertile fields. The most perfect silence and peace prevailed, forming a pleasant contrast to the noise and din of the last ravine. From one valley we passed to another, in rapid succession, through long rock-hewn tunnels. One most singular formation in the rock attracted our attention, called the Devil's Slide. Two parallel veins of rock ran down into a little ravine with a well smoothed bottom like a "trough." Passed the tent-built city of Echo at dusk, and soon after entered Echo Canon. Here is the famous Z, as it is called. The grade being so steep —100 feet to the mile—they were forced to wind around in that manner. How the engine puffed and panted and threw out great showers of brilliant sparks into the night! It seemed instinct with life. What a wonderful, wonderful power is that of steam ! As we neared Piedmont we heard of a railroad accident a few miles ahead—the cars had run off the track. This of course detained us some hours. It was Sunday morning, and at the hour when our friends at home were in church, we too assembled for prayer in our car. It was pleasant, in the center ofthis great continent, to hear the sweet familiar songs of home. Some rough, hard-looking men seemed deeply moved. Perhaps it was the first religious meeting ever held on the great Pacific Railroad. We soon passed safely on. Towards evening we entered a spur of the Rocky Mountains. The rocks were worn in various forms—grand old rocky towers, castles and cathedrals. We passed an emigrant encampment. The cattle were tethered near by, and the long, low wagons stood out in bold relief against the clear grey sky. There was something very picturesque in their bright costumes and in their roughly constructed tents. Great fires had just been lighted for the night. The sun had gone down, and only a rich crimson glow was leit in the west that lighted up the party, and made a picture of exquisite beauty. The engine thundered by, and we soon left them far behind. We passed Fort Steele, where cavalry are 75 1869s swiftly along the banks of the smoothly flowing Platte, in the Territory of Wyoming, the favorite hunting ground of the Indian. Saw several herds of beautiful, graceful antelope. The train reached Laramie and Fort San' ders at noon —well built and strong fortifications. The governor of the territory has here his residence. The ascent after this was gradual, and we wentat u splendid rate, and were soon at Sherman, S.OOO feet high. This is the highest point between San Francisco and New York. At night we saw the light of a prairie fire. We were all charmed with the country for many miles west of Omaha. The green prairies were dotted with thriving villages, and the trees were budding forth in all their beauty. Omaha is a city of 25,000 inhabitants. Crossed the Missouri and took the cars at Council Bluffs. We were whirled through the rich farming lands and prairies of lowa, and on Wednesday afternoon caught the first glimpse of the Mississippi at Dubuque, just seven days from Sacramento. F. W. D. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. A most singular instance of this method of collecting a debt occurred on the overland route about the time the last spike was driven. The principal incidents are graphically described in the following correspondence of the New York Sun, but having passed over that region within one week after the transaction occurred, and seen some of the persons engaged in the affair, we think we are not mistaken in asserting that the amount obtained or pledged was not $12,000, but $263,000 ! It was not all paid in greenbacks, but was secured by a draft on a banker in Cheyenne. The laborers were men who had worked hard all winter cutting nnd drawing ties for the road. They were employed by a sub-contractor by the name of McKensie, formerly in the employ of the Hudson Bay Company. It was not only true that Dr. Durant and his companions were detained, but if a military force had been sent to rescue them, teams were ready harnessed to have "spirited" them away to the recesses of the mountains, where they would have been kept as hostages until the money was paid. These laborers demanding their pay had pluced telegraphic operators on duty, so that they knew just what messages were sent and returned. It was not their intention to have injured Dr. Durant and his companions', unless they had showed force. If they had done so, the consequence would undoubtedly have been serious. They were duly organized, with all ihc system and determination of a California Vigilance Committee. The transaction occurred at a place called Piedmont. The delay in the ceremony of "laying the stationed to guard against Indians. Steamed last rail" on the Pacific Railroad, as the �1 II X KIMKMI. SEPTEMBER, I bti 9 76 readers of the Sun have already learned by telegraph, arose from the involuntary detention of Dr. Durant by a party of unpaid laborers, who insisted on being paid before he should proceed. The scare although ludicrous in some respects, also touched upon the dangerous. The situation—a howling wilderness, with two or three hundred very determined and somewhat lawless men, generally well armed, insisting that their just claims should be fully answered by one mild-mannered gentleman, who hadn't it in his power to make the payment at once—was certainly ttot charming. THE RAILROAD BARRICADED. The train which bore Dr. Durant and some other officials of the road, carried other passengers and the mails. On arriving at Piedmont station an obstruction was observed a short distance from the station, consisting of ties laid across the road, so as to form a breast-high barricade, and a rail immovably spiked across the track ; about this was a small guard of laborers, while the main force gathered about the train when it stopped at the station, and took possession of the calaboose, expelling the engineer and fireman. THE RAILWAY DIRECTORS IN A QUANDARY. They next returned to the train, and their leader gave the conductor permission to proceed, explaining that it was not their intention to delay the mails or incommode the passengers. The barricade across the road disappeared in a flash, and the spiked rail was torn up ; the bell rang and the train moved over the open waste towards the Pacific, leaving Dr. Durant and a few of the officers in the hands of the victors. When all means of escape for the " Managing Director" had vanished, his elegant prison was thrown open, and he was invited to come forth and engage in a conference with his captors relative to the conditions of his release. The leader informed Dr. Durant that the men about him had earned $12,000, which had not been paid them. Unfortunately the character of the disbursing officers for promptness was not high among them, and as they had already waited long beyond pay day, they expected Dr. Durant to "come down " without delay. THK SMARTEST HORN OF THE DILEMMA. Dr. Durant endeavored to converse with the workmen in a pleasant vein, assuring them that it would be "all right." The leader replied that he had no doubt that everything was and would be just as lovely as the Managing Director had represented, " but we want our money, and you shall not leave until we get it." Again Dr. Durant, with his bland countenance made up in the most fascinating wreaths of smiles, applied the " soft sawder," all of which, was duly appreciated by the civil spokesman of the party, but elicited in the end the determined response, " We want our money." In vain Dr. Durant represented that he had no money with him, that if they wished him to pay them they should permit him to proceed to a point where he could obtain the money. They were inexorable. He could pay it out of his waistcoat pocket without inconvenience, or at least he could telegraph for it; or in any event, they must have it before he could go, wherever it came from. . for the right.

A visitor among the poor was one day climbing the broken staircase which led to a garret in one of the worst parts of London, when his attention was arrested by a man of peculiarly ferocious and repulsive countenance, who stood upon the landing-place leaning with folded arms against the wall. There was something about the man's appearance which made the visitor shudder, and his first impulse was to go back. He made an effort, however, to get into conversation with him, and told him that he came there with the desire to do him good, and to see him happy, and that the book he had in his hand contained the secret of all happiness. The ruffian shook him off as if he had been a viper, and bade him begone with his nonsense, or he would kick him down stairs. While the visitor was endeavoring with gentleness and patience to argue the point with him, he was startled by hearing a feeble voice, which appeared to come from behind one of the broken doors which opened upon the landing, saying, " Does your book tell of the blood which cleanseth from all sin ?" For the moment the visitor was too much absorbed in the case of the hardened sinner before him to answer the inquiry, and it was repeated in earnest and thrilling tones: oh, tell me does your book tell of " Tell me,which cleanseth from all sin ? " the blood The visitor pushed open the "W at, d en- 77 I XI i: M). SEPTEMBER, 1809. tered the room. It was a wretched place, wholly destitute of furniture, except a threelegged stool and a bundle of straw in a corner, upon which were stretched the wasted limbs of an aged woman. When the visitor entered, she raised herself upon one elbow, fixed her eyes eagerly upon him and repeated her former questions, " Does your book tell of the blood which cleanseth from all sin ? " He sat down upon the stool beside her, and inquired, "My poor friend, what do you want to know of the blood which cleanseth from all sin ? " There was something fear- up that jib! Hands by the head braces! Cast off your head-fast, and stand by aft there to let go that stern line! Let go! Man the topsail halyards ! Run em up boys, run 'em up ! Does the jib take ? Haul over that starboard She pays off fine— there shegoes, and—Hilloa! Hilloa! What's the matter ? What's fast there ? Starboard the helm ! Starboard ! " shouted the pilot. What holds her ? k there anything foul aft, there? Why, look at that stern line! Heave it off the timber head ; heave off that turn ! " " It's foul ashore, sir," said one of the crew. " Then cut i,, cut it! D'ye hear ? Never mind the hawser. Cut it before she loses her way." By this time there was a taut strain on the hawser; a seaman drew his sheath knife across the strands, which soon parted, the brig forced ahead, the sails were run up and trimmed to the breeze, and the Billow filled away. Young man you use profane language. You take the name of God in vain." You must let go that line. God declares that not hold them guiltless that take his " he willvain." name in Christ commands, " Swear not at all." Do you say, 1 know it is a bad habit?" Then letit go! Cut it. Better cut the hawser than lose the craft. One is held by lust, another by pride, another by love of money, which is the " root ofall evil; " another is careless,—but these are all strands in the hawser of unbelief. Let them all go ! Another strong line that holds the soul fast in its thrall is the love of, or the use of in- ful in the energy of her voice and manner as she replied, What do 1 want to know of it ? Man I am dying ! I am going to stand naked before God. I have been a wicked woman all my life. I shall have to answer for everything I have done," and she groaned bitterly us the thought of a lifetime's iniquity seemed to cross her soul. " But once," she continued, " once, years ago, I came by the door of a church, and 1 went in—l don't know what for. I was soon out again, but one word I heard there I have never forgot. It was something about blood which cleanseth from all sin. Oh, if I could hear of it now ! Tell me, tell me if there is anything about that blood in your book?" The visitor answered by reading the first chapter of the first epistle of St. John. The poor creature seemed to devour the words, and when he paused, she exclaimed, " Read more, read more." He read the second chapter —a slight noise made him look round ; the savage ruffian had followed him into his mother's room, and though his face was partly turned away, the visitor could perceive tears rolling down his cheeks. The visitorread the third, fourth and fifth chapters before he could get the poor listener to consent that he should stop, and then she would not let him go till he promised to come again the next day. He never from that time missed a day reading to her until she died, six weeks afterward ; and very blessed was it to see how, almost from the first, she seemed to find peace by believing in Jesus. Every day the son followed the visitor into his mother's room and listened in silence, but not indifference. On the day of her funeral he beckoned him to one side as they were filling up her grave, and said : " Sir, I have been thinking there is nothing I should so much like as to spend the rest of my life in telling others of the blood which cleanseth from all sin." Thus the great truth of free pardon through the blood of Christ sinks into the soul and saves it. Thus grasped when all else is gone, it has power to sustain the drowning spirit, and lift it up above the floods that are going over it. Thus it breaks the heart of a stone, which nothing else could touch, and turns the abandoned persecutor into the zealous teacher of Christianity.— Ch. Union. " — sheet! " " ! " toxicating drinks. How many has it drawn from the bar of the rum shop or steamboat, to the bar of the criminal court, and thence to the gallows,—and too often to the drunkard's grave and the bar of judgment. The rest you know. God declares, " The drunkard shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven." Let go that line! Do you plead for the stimulus and excitement? Let it go. If it be as dear as a right hand, cut it off! If it be as dear as a right eye, pluck it out. Now! Quick! The Coast-line or Hawaii.—Later information from parties who have visited the southeast part of Hawaii tends to confirm the statement, made soon after the nwthquakes of 186&, that a portion of the coast had subsided from its former level. An impression that seemed for a while to prevail abroad, that the whole solid island had more or leas settled down into the sea, seems to have been entirely incorrect But at Keauhon, Puna, and perhaps as fludown as Waiohinu, Kau, there are reliable data for supposing that the coast level has changed. Places along the beach at the first mentioned place, formerly exposed and even used as building sites, are entirely under water. The depth of the water at the anchorage is perceptibly greater. Rocks, on the rocky points of land are visibly lower down at the water's edge than before Another fact bearing on the question is, that in the heavy swell from the southeast, "Let Go that Stern Line." which we noticed as having seriously damaged a ground I once stood on the wharf watohing a brig school-houra in Puna, the sea rolled in over before known to have been covered. This would get ready for sea ; the topsails and courses never more easily be accounted for on the supposition that were loosed, the jib hung from the boom, and the land was lower, than by allowing that the sea the halyards stretched out ready to run it up. rose higher than ever before. The area of subsidence Just at that moment the pilot sprung from does not seem to have extended very far inland, as a very extensive oraoks, diagonal or nearly the wharf to the quarter-deck, inquiring as number of with the coast, would appear to indicate he did so of the mate in command, "Are you parallel where, so to speak, the shelf of subsided land broke all ready?"

The mode of fishing practiced at Moottoo Raja-welle and other similar swamps is very peculiar, and, as 1 have never heard it described, I conclude it is known to but few. The swamp of Mootloo'Raja-welle is of very considerable extent, not less, 1 should say, judging by the eye, than three miles wide and ten miles long. Its whole surface is perfectly level, except where the natives have raised embankments for the purpose of regulating the supply of water to their paddy crops, or for fencing their fields. It is covered with long grassland a strong, coarse sod. This is strong enough to bear the weight of the natives, who traverse its surface without any difficulty, and, what is still more singular, cattle are turned out to graze upon it; but I suppose their acquaintance with it enables thetn to keep on the firmer parts of the surface. Beneath this sod is a layer of mud of about the consistency of thick pea-soup, and beneath that, at a depth of eighteen inches or two feet, is soft bog stuff—turf, in fact. The whole swamp is what in Ireland would be called a " shaking bog," as, by throwing one's weight suddenly on the heels, the whole surface is made to tremble visibly over a circle of eight or ten feet in diameter. In this mud is the natural habitation of the fish, some of whose peculiarities 1 have described, and they are so abundant in it that I do not believe that in the whole surface of the swamp, which is certainly not less than thirty square miles, there is a single spot of fifty yards square in which a man could not catch more than enough fish to supply him with good and wholesome food for a day ; but no European would ever suspect that so extensive a fishery existed beneath a place on which cattle are seen grazing and men cutting grass in every direction. The mode of fishing is no less peculiar than the fishingground. When a man wishes to vary the diet of bis family with a dish of fresh fish, he goes out by himself at night when the air is still, and walks about the swamp, listening for the peculiar sounds which the fish make when they thrust their heads up through interstices in the sod in order to breathe. When the fisherman has arrived at a spot where those sounds are sufficiently numerous to hold out a prospect of a reward for his labor, he removes the sod from four or five small circular patches, each about three feet in diameter, and all within a few feet of each other. He then returns home and comes back on the following day, bringing with him a basket to carry away the fish that he catches,, but unprovided with either rod, line, hook or net. Fisherman's Magazine. — Christ's Attractiveness. The character of Christ is attractive. The more closely we study it, the more its beautiful qualities stand out in full relief before us. His divine greatness appears in this fact. A sublime work of God in nature grows upon us as we continue to contemplate it. Those who visit Niagara are at first almost always disappointed. But as they begin to take in nil the features of the wondrous scene, its grandeur impresses them more strongly, and when they have filled their minds with the sublimities of the mighty river in its awful plunge, they are I). SEPTKIHBER, disappointed only in the consciousness of being utterly unable to express the emotions which crowd upon them. In a way like this the character of Christ uffects us the more carefully we examine it. His is a perfect humanity in which a wonderful purity, gentleness and feminine delicacy are combined with great firmness and manly dignity. He had a womanly tenderness, but no weakness which in a man would be unbecoming. We find that he never shrank from contact with a manly world, and whenever he went among the busy crowds he was a man among them, commanding their attention at once, never suffering from their contempt, however much he may have been exposed to their wicked enmity. He went, for instance, into the temple among the greedy moneychangers, and they quailed before his indignation. It is hard for a good man to command the respect of a villainous crowd. Christ did. Christ's attraction is not a mere rhetorical figment; it is a fact. The love of Christ impresses people. He makes sick beds easier, binds up the wounds of hearts distressed by sorrow, and soothes those who have laid dear hopes away in the tomb. His cross asserts its real and permanent value, in all the great crises of our busy lives as well as in the common duties of ordinary days. All the sweetness that there can be in a good soul are in him. As winds from spice islands blow over deserts, burnt upand fever stricken, so the love of Christ, wafted from his cross, bears a saving fragrance to a wretched, dying world. We should aim to feel, as deeply as we may, these attractions of the once shameful, but now glorious cross. Jesus must be to us not a faded name of history, a dead fact of the past, but a living God strong to redeem. Over all who know him at all as he is, he has this power. fable old, nor mythic lore, " NoN->r ilrcain of Imrils anil BBSfB, No ileail fact stranrleil on thebliorc Ol' the oliliviuus years ■, sweet, tender, " ButAwarm, present help is he ', And faith has still its Olivet, And love its fialilec." 11.

That part of the Thames immediately of Crciuomc-gnrdens was the scene of an exciting spectacle recently. What is said to bo a wonderful triumph of American invention was exhibited in tho presence of several thousand persons, who lined the river from Battem-a-bridgo up to C'rcmorno-gnidcns, and plied little craft of ivory conceivable shape while the experiment, which was the cause of the gathering, was being made.

Madrid, Muy 12, 18U9. MEMORIALS OF AN AUTO DA FE. This day, 189 years ago, a notable auto in the Plaza Mayor of Madrid. The anniversary has been kept by an open-air meeting on the site of the undent Quemudero, or burning-place of the inquisition. This site has long been known as a broad mound, of an acre or two's extent, immediately outside the gate of San Bernardo. The construction of a new road has rendered it necessary to cut through this mound ; and, by a singular coincidence, on the very days when, after three centuries of intolerance, the assembled Cortes of Spain were discussing and legislating on religious liberty, the cutting for the new road was laying open to view one of the most extraordinary and impressive sights the eye could nst upon. Precisely as in other parts we see ideologic strata of marl or gntvel, or the osseous remains of a bygone uge, so in this broad section are laid bare, alternating with sand and earth, a series of black bands of ashes, thickly bedded with human bones. Thus the cruel intolerance of man is written in the very earth—"the stone cries out of the wall " against the wickedness of a tyrant priestly domination. Instruments of torture have also been exhumed ; amongst them an iron collar, of which one orator in the Cortes, pleading for liberty of conscience, said its iron was softer, possessed more bowels of compassion, than the hearts of those who used it—" the infamous executioners of an infamous theocracy." Many, if not most, who were present at the manifestation of today carried off some bone or bones. I have half a dozen on the table before me as I write, to animate my zeal. Men have so long held their peace, it seems God would make the very stones cry out in protest against intolerance. Suffice it, the Cortes have voted religious toleration much as we have it in England, with a State Church preserved as the law of the land. And to-day, in view of the black seams of martyr soil, while " Young Spain," in the speeches made at the meeting, was making infidel attacks against the Romish hierarchy, and against religion in was every phase, our good brother L vending, as fast as hands could supply, the Divine Word for the healing of the nations. He took nearly .£4, great part in half-pence, the price of the separate Gospels, whilst our young men distributed many thousand tracts among the assembled crowds. This latter success has encouraged us in view of the great annual fair, which begins this week, which is to Madrid as Greenwich Fair to London. In it we have taken a tent, and shall have in operation also our movable stand—a kind of Bible-cart we have had constructed, of which to-day's good service at the Quemadero was the inauguration. dafe was celebrated THE GOSPEL IN MADRID. My two months' absence at Seville enables me well to judge of the progress of the evangelistic efforts in Madrid on my return. I find a marked advance, for which I feel deeply thankful to Him who giveth the increase. The public services on Sunday are crowded by an audience in great part of regular attendants, as many as a thousand persons frequently forcing themselves into the ii{ 11; M). gitpli;>i |{ i: j{. church. The Thursday morning service,designed for ladies and others who wish to avoid the crowd, is attended by some .lOO, and seems to engage increasing interest. The Lord's Supper, which was administered on Easter Sunday for the first time to fifty-two persons, is likely on Whit Sunday, for which it is again announced, to be attended by near 150, judging by the number of persons who have already seen the pastors with a view to taking part in the communion. I will pass by in this letter, however, the ordinary topics of which in former letters I have written much, only saying that the liberality of the American Bible and Tract Societies is giving a new impulse to the important branches embraced by these agencies. That of the former is of especial value, as the Christian laborers in the Spanish field are still fettered in respect of the supply of the Scriptures.—Evangelical Christendom.

During the last three days, ending tins morning, June 14th, we have traveled live hundred miles by railroad, and yet spent two days at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On Friday morning, May 11th, we left Minneapolis. Passing rapidly through the southern part of the State of Minnesota and the northern put of lowa, we crossed the Mississippi at Prairie dv Chien, and taking a sleeping car, we found ourselves in the morning on the opposite side of the State of Wisconsin, approaching Milwaukee, a city of 80,000 inhabitants, and situated on the western shore of Lake Michigan, 85 miles north of Chi- There we were cordially welcomed whom we left in Connecticut on friends by our first departure for the Hawaiian Islands in 1842. During the period of our absence Irom the country, the beautiful city of Milwaukee has been built up. Its foundation was scarcely laid thirty years ago. It is now the centre of on immense wheat trade. Daily with immense trains of cars arrive loaded wheat, amounting to about Oft. million of hush.U per week ! It is immediately transferred to ih rotors, and from thence \o vessels which will convey it, via the great lakes, to Buffalo, and so on via the canal around the Falls of Niagara, down to the St. Lawrence, or by railroads to New York and other iities. The business of Milwaukee is immense, and upon the increase. From the high bluffs overlooking the lake we had a magnificent view of the surrounding country, and the shipping in the harbor and upon the lake. The citizens take great pains in setting oOt trees, and otherwise ornamenting their houses and the streets of the of city.

Plans and drawings were fully presented in lute BUtubera of Harper* Weekly. In the rear of the city our attention was called to a large circular building now employed for an extensive ice house. The ice is supplied from water raised by an artesian well. This well was sunk about 700 feet in order to obtain u supply of petroleum, but instead thereof a fountain of pure water teat struck, which has not ceased to flow. The ice is the product of this well. Perhaps ice may prove as profitable as coal oil. The city is spreading out in all directions. Wabash Avenue is certainly one of the finest streets we ever saw in any city east or west. The city can boast of some fine stores (book-stores especially), and many churches, while new edifice* are constantly going up. It seems but a few days since we heard the report that the buildings of the Young Men's Christian Association were burnt, but already new buildings have been erected, and the various departments of that useful Association are now in successful operation. attack upon Sumter! From the several speakers we gathered the inference that there is a strong desire on the part of the Evangelical portion of the Episcopal Church, first, to revise the PrayerBook, and so change the phraseology of the baptismal service, as not to convey the idea that the child itregenerated nam the baptismal water is applied. Secondly,Vi recognize the clergy of other denominations as an truly ordained gospel ministers. Thirdly, to maintain at all hazards the right of private judgment. Fourthly, to maintain fraternal relationship with other denominations of Christians. One earnest speaker remarked that he should be ashamed to enter heaven and be welcomed by a Christian minister and gentleman there, while he could not maintain fraternal relationship with such Christian gentleman on earth, for he doubted not the ministers of other denominations were as truly Christian gentlemen us those of the Episcopal Church.

One week ago to-day, June 23d, we attended the Episcopal Evangelical Convention at Chicago, and then hurried away by the night train to Springfield, Illinois, the late home of President Lincoln, and also the place where his mortal remains now lie entombed in Oak Ridge Cemetery. We were allowed only one day there, and taking the next night train, we were whirled along over the brood prairies of Illinois and Indiana to Columbus, Ohio, a distance of over four hundred miles, in twenty-one hours. After spending a few hours in the city of the Buckeye State, we were delighted to retire to the peaceful city of Delaware the teat of learning, and the site of the "Ohio Wesleyan University," and also of a flourishing female seminary. After spending a quiet and peaceful Sabbath among choice friends, we hurried away on Monday by a night train to Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and find ourselves enjoying a tlay of rest in the charming borough of Swissvale, about eight miles away from the grim and smoky city of Pittsburg, where iron is king, coal is queen, and coal oil is prime' minister. We rejoice in a day of rest nfter such a week of travel and hurry, fur it alfnrJs us an opportunity to recall and record some of the scenes of interest and pleasure through which we have passed. By glancing at a map, it will readily appear that we have during the part week traveled over lines of railroad leading through the very heart of the Republic. While mingling with the people and looking out upon the busy multitude, we have felt the nation's heart — beatings, and been inspired with patriotic emotions while watching the rapid pulsations of the nation's daily life. We feel it necessary to check the flow of our thoughts as we sit down to write, lest our readers in the far-off islands of the Pacific will say that we have caught the national peculiarity of boasting. If they should, we can only say �rlf ¥RIK N 0, OCTOB I. R , I8« 9 . 84 olamem." He had love for all men who ob- the lines of railroad, and are supplied with tained their living by honest labor.

Muring our brief sojourn of two days in the city <d New York on our journey across the ..intinetit to New England, we yet found tune, June 30th, to attend one of the noon day prayer-meetings at Fulton street. The impression left upon the mind corresponds to the oft-written descriptions which we have road in the religious newspapers respecting those meetings. It is a most solemn and earnest appeal to the busy and worldly multitude, to turn aside from the noisy and thronging streets fin the purpose of spending a brief hour in prayer to Cod. It requires no stretch of the imagination to fancy HV.idom standing in the street, and calling to the passing throng, as represented by Solomon, in the eighth of the Book of Proverbs: "Doth not wisdom cry. and understanding put forth her voice. She standeth in the lop of high places, by the way in the places of the paths ; she crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors ; Huto you, O men, I call ; and my voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom, and ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart," &c. 'he following vivid description of the ton Street Prayer Meeting, was written I the New York hedgvr, by Fanny Fern. > not in the exact style of the religious 'spapers, yet the outlines of the picture so clearly drawn, that we think our lers will be interested and profited by its isal: THE rOLTOH STRKET I'RAYKR MEETING. People who visit a great city, and explore it with a curious eye, generally overlook the moat remarkable tilings in it. They "do it up" in Guide-Book fashion, going the stereotyped rounds of custom-ridden predecessors. The "Fulton street daily prayer meeting" —did you ever go to it? It is one of the most wonderful sights in New York. In the busiest hour of the day, in its busiest business street, noisy with machinery of all kinds, even the earth under your feet sending out puffs of steam at every other step, to remind you of its underground labor, is a little plain room, with a reading-desk and a few beaches, with hymn-books scattered about.

Don't I take pleasre inu looking at your face, though your nose isn't quite straight, and your eyes are not perfect, and your shoulders are not shaped to my mind ?

It was so homely, and hearty, and Christian. One man said, " them souls." Do yon think I flounced nut of the meeting for that ? I liked it.

His stammering tongue will he all right some day. 1 haven't the least idea who all those people were, tinging and praying there; but I never can tell you how 1 liked it. That "Come to Jesus " was sung with a heart ring that 1 haven't stopped hearing yet, though 1 have slept on it once or twice. You may say "priestcraft!" "early education!" and all that.

A temperance meeting some years ago was church, wh<*r« be held one evening In the speakers were, as usual, lo be reformed drunkards. An estimable woman, whom we will call Alice, was induced to attend. When the meeting was somewhat advanced, a late member of Congress arose, with apparent to sadness and hesitation. Though I had consented, at your urgent solicitation, to address this assembly tonight," he said, " yet I have felt so greut u reluctance in doing so. that it has been with the utmost difficulty ilial I could drag myself forward. As to relating my experience, thai I do not think 1 can venture upon. The past Ido not recall. I could wish that the memory of ten years of my life were blotted out." He paused a moment, much affected, and then added in a final voice, " something must be said of my own ease, or I fail t<> make the impression on your minds that 1 wish to produce. " Your speaker once stood among the respected members of the bar. Nay, mom than that, he occupied a seat in Congress for two Congressional periods. And more than that," he continued, his voice sinking into a tone expressive of deep emotion, " he once had a tenderly loved wife and two sweet children. But all these honors, all these blessings, have departed from him. He was unworthy to retain them ; his constituents threw him off because he had debased himself and disgraced them. And more than all. she who had loved him devpledly, the mother of Ins two babes, was forced to abandon him and seek an asylum in her father's house. And why? Could I become so changed in so few short years T What power was there to so debase me that my fellow-beings spurned, and even the wife of my bosom turned away heart-stricken from me '.' Alas, my friends, it was a mad indulgence in intoxicating drinks. But for this, I were an honorable and useful representative in the halls of legislation, and blessed with home and wife and children. " But 1 have not told you all. After my wife was separated from me, I sank rapidly. A state of sobriely brought too many dreadful thoughts ; I drank more deeply, and was rarely, if ever, free from bewildering effects of partial intoxication. At last I became so abandoned that my wife,urged by her friends, no doubt, filed an application for a divorce, and as cause could be readily shown why it should be granted, a separation was legally declared ; and to complete my disgrace, at the Congressional canvass I was left off the ticket, as unfit to represent the district. " When I heard of this new movement, tie great temperance cause, at first I sneered, then wondered, listened at last, and at last threw myself on the great wave that was rolling onward, in hope of being carried far out of the reach of danger. I did not hop. with > vain hope. It did for mo all, anH more than 1 could have desired. It set me once more on my feet—once more made a man of me. A year of sobriety, earnest devotion to my profession, and fervent prayer " We have letters on hand for the following persona, on board of different whaleships : D. 6. Adam.-, William F.

Between myself and these the law had laid its stern, impassable interdictions, I have no longer a wife, no longer children, though my heart goes toward these "loved ones with the tenderesl yearnings. Pictures of our curly days of wedded love are ever lingering in my Imagination. I dream of the sweet fire-side circle, I see ever before me the placid face of my Alice, as her eyes looked into mine with intelligent confidence ; the music of her voice is ever sounding in my ears." Here the speuker's emotion overcame him; his utterance became choked, and he stood silent, with bowed head and trembling limbs. The dense mass of people Were hushed into an oppressive stillness, that was broken here and there by half-stilled sobs. At this moment there was a movement in the crowd. A single female figure, before whom every one appeared instinctively to give way, was seen passing up the aisle. This was not observed l>v the speaker until she had come nearly in front of the platform on which he stood. Then the movement caught his ear, his eyes that instant fell on Alice, who, by the kindness of those near her, was conducted to his side. The whole audience, thrilled with the scene, were upon their feet, bending forward, when the speaker extended his arms, ami Alice threw herself upon his bosom. An aged minister then came forward and gently separated them. " No. no," said the reformed Congressman, " you cannot take her away from me." Heaven forbid that 1 should," said the minister; " but by your own confession she is not your wife." " No, she is not," returned the speaker, " mournfully. " But is ready to take her vows again," modestly said Alice, in a low tone, smiling through her tears. Before that large assembly, all standing, and with few dry eyes, the marriugc ceremony was again performed, that gave the speaker and Alice to each other. As the minister, an aged mini, with thin white locks, completed the marriage rite, ho laid Ins hands upon the heads of the two he had joined in the holy bonds, and lifting up his streaming eyes, said m a solemn voice, " What God hath joined together, let not rum put asunder." "Amen ! " was cried by the whole assembly, as with a single voice.— Old Oaken Bucket. "Son, Remember !" There was a cry of anguish from the abyss, an imploring entreaty for the smallest gift that poverty could ask or wealth refuse. But the only boon heavenly pity could bestow was the memory of the past. " Son, remember.'' Remember! No hope ? No future? Must all <he treasures of my immortality cluster around the -few years I spent on earth ? Remember! What must I remember ?

OCTOBER, Isfi 9 ful lessons of my patient teachers, the warnings I cast aside so lightly, the invitations that fell unheeded, those stirring hymns. which I sang so earnestly, which I almost believed I should chant in heaven. I shall never sing again. How terrible a contrast docs the remembrance of that almost celes- tial music make with the horrid sounds that encircle me now. I remember the Hihl<, my Bibb:. Ah, it was a gift, that beautiful Bible, from one who loved its sacred pages. How often ditl the dust gather upon its lids. How dull a hook it seemed to me then. A letter fioni Rich promises demy Maker neglected spised, threatenings 1 would not believe. Many a verse graven on my memory, but not one upon my heart. No Bible here; not one promise, not one line. No need of evidences, for there are here no unbelievers in its truth. [ remember my mother. What a crowd of associations cluster thick and fast as nieinorv recalls my sainted mother. Her counsel, her loving words of entreaty, her affection, her prayers. How she talked to me of the heaven she wished me to share with her. She is there now, but she has forgotten I feel that she cannot think of me, for there are no tears there ; and if she could remember me, her mother's heart would throb with sorrow, and would she not weep ? How would one tear of sympathy, falling even from that dizzy height, cool my burning brow. I shall never see her again, never hear her gentle voice, never feel her warm kiss, or press her soft hand. There is a great gulf fixed. All I can ever know of my tender mother is the memory. I remember my mother's grace. There all the fountains of my nature were broken up. The tears that fell seemed to purify. I was never so near the gate of heaven. There seemed but one more step. I resolved then, as I looked for the last time in her face, that I would take that step, liecome a Christian, and join her above. But 1 did not begin at Once. I did not ask God to help me to commence from that hour to serve him, and so for me my mother died in vain. 1 retnembar the Sabbatles that came so often, the church-liells sounding so sweetly on the quiet air, the gathering worshipers, the earnest prayer, the message from Cod. I was seldom absent; neither did the sermons fall on inattentive ears, for I was a critic. Nothing but the highest order of eloquence satisfied my fastidious taste. There ministers of Christ pleaded with me. The sacred blood ol the Saviour was seared out belore mv eyes. The crass was held up from Sabbath to Sabbath, and from year to year. Again and again the Holy Spirit moved over the ]n-ople, and 1 was almost persuaded to be a Christian, but not just then. That Sabbath-bell is hushed. The voice of the preacher is chanting high praises in the upper sanctuary. I shall never hear them again. I can only rimiiidnr them in my ! nu. . from his gentle entreaties, and now they have ceased for ever. I think now of the wealth Cod gave me, which I s)H'iit in my own ease and selfish indulgence, and which 1 did not dispense as his steward ; the business, so engrossing that il left no time for stayer J the terrible warnings I received, which only arrested me for a moment. How patient Got! was with mr. How long-siiflcriiig the Saviour. Each day brought its blessinga uncounted and unacknowledged, each night its solemn reminder of death, but nil in vain. A thousand gentle persuasions of the Spirit, which in the whirl of pleasure fell unheeded, recur to mc now, A thousand secret monitions neglected come thronging on my memory, and every lime I remember them my infatuation and my folly seem more inexcusable. These remembrance! madden me, vet I can not forget. J'.ver as the endless coil tit eternity tightens around me, is graven deeper and deeper on my soul the memory of the blessings 1 enjoyed and wasted, of the privileges and opportunities gone beyond recall. In the hush of terrestrial night the stars looketl down upon me, and taught me God's wisdom ami omnipotence. Not one star shines here. The sunlight was a glorious gift. But of all the myriad rays which flood the immensity of space, not one is ever commissioned to pierce this blackness of darkness, 1 recall many a scene of loveliness. The spring-time with its fairy blossoms, the green valley, the brook, the meadow, and the blue mountain ; the birds tilling the air with their melody, and the busy street with its active, restless throng, Oh earth, even earth, though scathed by sin and blighted then, seems a very paradise to me now. It is circling with obedient course in its orbit, fairer and lovelier than ever in its restored glories; but on its varied beauty I shall never look again. I can only remember it as my first home, my only borne. This ia not home. The bitterest drop jn my cup of gall, in the thought that there was a home of inefliible peace offered nn: which I shall never enter, a harp tuned for me whose chorda I shall never sweep, and a crown of immortal life set before me which I shall never wear.

Several public meetings were held id Honolulu during the month of October, m which the policy of importing laborers into these Islands was fully discussed. The present coolie system, so called, is not without serious objections and evils, but no plan has yet been proposed which promises entirely to ohviiite them. The English Government has found great difficulty in grappling with the Mime subject as applied to her West Indian colonies ; in view of which the Hawaiian Government is at least entitled to a lenient judgment regarding whatever mistakes have been made. It is one of the remarkable teatures of the present day, that notwithstanding all the improvements whichmachinery has introduced into business and manufacturing, human muscle—the rough labor of unskilled workmen —was never so much called for, or so hard to get as now. The experience of the past seems to teach that labor will flow quickest into those channels where it is entirely free, and where the son of toil, however low he be in race or condition, finds in the kind treatment he receives a full recognition of his manhood. is certainly desirable that persons who brought or attracted here to raise sugar, in other labor, should be such as engage or affiliate with the Hawaiian peoreadily will ple.

Our limited space will not allow us continue the enumeration. As might be imagined, such an occasion brought together all the men of nntunfl science, for it was the " Natural History Society " of Boston under whose auspices the festival was celebrated. To crown this vast assemblage, there stood to Aoarsiz, the orator and speaker on this interesting occasion. He was not only the pupil of the great Humboldt, but his personal friend and correspondent for nearly thirty years. Nothing could have been more appropriate than the selection of Prof. Agassiz as the orator of the day. No person probably in Europe or America was ko well fitted as Agassiz to ("•■Vetch the character and describe the important scientific and geographical discoveries and studies of the immortal Humboldt, whose researches in the realm of nature entitle him to rank among the few great men of this or We listened to the address of Prof. Agassiz with mingled emotions of admiration and reverence. It was surely a rare treat to sit for good one hour and a half while the greatest living naturalist eulogized the greatest naturalist and philosopher of modern times, who stands forth without his peer among *avans of the passing age, and as rivaling even Aristotle among the renowned ol the jinieiit world. Our limits will not allow us to give even a brief synopsis of the masterly address. The speaker was eloquent in his most simple utterances, for he imposed, evidently upon his pen in writing, a truthfulness and severity which clothed each paragraph in the most chnste language and the most terse expressions. The speaker's allusions to his per sonal indebtedness to Humboldt while a young man in Paris, struggling for position and a livelihood, formed a most touching part of the admirable address. It was in 1830 when Humboldt was 62 and Agassiz was 24 years of age. We copy as follows " He had at this time two residences in Paris; his lodging at the Hotel dcs Princes, where he saw the great world, and his working room in the Rue dc la Harpe, where he received with less formality his scientific friends. It is with the latter place I associate him; for there it was my privilege to visit linn frequently. There he gave me leave to come to talk with him about my work and consult him in my difficulties. 1 am unwilling to speak of myself on this occasion, and yet I do not know how else I can do justice to one of the most beautiful sides of Humboldt's character. His sympathy forall young students of nature was one of the noblest traits «f his long life. It may truly be said that toward the close of his career there was hardly one prominent or aspiring scientific man in the world who was not under some : Nl>. NOVEMBER, 186 9. interested, but extended also to their material wants and embarrassments. At thia period 1 was twenty-four; he was sixty-two. 1 had recently taken my degree ns Doctor of Medicine, and was .struggling not only for a scientific position, but for the means oi existence also. I have said that lie gave me permission to come as often as I pleased to his room, opening to ipp freely the inestimable advantages which intercourse with such o man gave to a young investigator like myself. But he did far more than this. Occupied and surrounded as he was, he sought me out in my own lodging. The first visit he paid ine at my narrow quarters in tin' Quartier Latin, where I occupied a' small room in the Hotel du Jartlin des Plantes, was characteristic of the man. After a cordial greeting, he walked straight to what was then my library, —a small book-shelf containing a few classics, the meanest editions bought for a trifle along the quays, some works on philosophy and history, chemistry and physics, his own Views of Nature, Aristotle's Zoology, Linnreus' Systema Naturre, in several editions, Cuvier's'Regne Animal, and quite a number of manuscript quartos, copies which, with the assistance of my brother, I had made of works I was too poor to buy, though they cost but a few francs a volume. Most conspicuous of all were twelve volumes of the new German Cyclopedia presented to me by the publisher. I shall never forget, after his look of mingled interest and surprise at my little collection, his half-sarcastic question as he pounced upon the great Encyclopedia, ' Woe machen Sie den-n mit dieter fyeitbructf '—What are you doing with this cue'* In-iiltji .' —the somewhat contemptuous name given in Germany to similar compilations. ' I have not had time,' I said, ' to study the original sources of learning, and I need a prompt and easy answer to a thousand questions I have as yet no other means of solving.' " It was no doubt apparent to him that 1 was not over familiar with the pood things of this world, for 1 shortly afterward received an invitation to meet him at six o'clock in the ' Gallerie Vitree' of the Pnlais Koyal, whence he led me into one of those restaurants, the tempting windows of which I had occasionally passed by. When we were seated, he half laughingly, half inquiringly, asked me whether I would order the dinner. 1 declined the invitation, saying that we .should fare better if he would take the trouble. And for three hours, which passed like a dream, I had him all to myself. How he examined me, and how much I learned in that short time! How to work, what to do, and what to avoid ; how to live ; how to distribute my time ; what methods of study to pursue,—these were the things of which he talked to me on that delightful evening. I do not mention this trivial incident without feeling that it may seem too familiar for the occasion ; nor should I give it at all, except that it shows the sweetness and kindliness of Humboldt's nature. It was not enough for him to cheer and stimulate the student; he cared also to give a rare indulgence to a young man who could allow himself few luxuries." brought against Humboldt was perfectly groundless. It appears that the atheists of Europe and America claim Humboldt as their great leader. One of the speakers in the German festival at Boston, on this very occasion, puts forth this claim. His name is Karl Heinzen, and he asserts that in Humboldt's great work, " Cosmos," there is not a single allusion to God, indicative of a belief on Humboldt's part that he was a believer in the divine existence of a personal God. If such is the fact, then there is great appropriateness and force in the prayer of the Rev. Dr. Walker on this occasion : "O thou infinite source of life and light, we invoke thy blessing on these services in the memories they awaken and the hopes they inspire. We acknowledge and adore that Providence by which gifted men are raised up from time to time to make us better acquainted with the heavens which declare thy glory and with the earth which shows thy handiwork. Impress, we beseech thee, upon the great masters of science that they also are prophets sent to reveal the thoughts and the ways of the living God. Suffer not the rapid increase of natural light to dazzle our eyes or obscure or confuse that divine light which comes from thy word, and from the instincts and aspirations of the human soul, so that science and faith may reverently work together for the good of man and the glory of God, through Christ our Lord. Amen." The music at this grand festival was of the very highest order, and executed in the highest style of finish. It was executed in a manner that only German musicians know how to give to musical performances. Senator Sumner was overheard to remark to Holmes, the novelist and poet, " I should not like to have such music before I was goinir to speak."

At the Horticultural Hall, on the evening of September 14th, there was a large gathering of the literary and scientific men of Bosobligation to him. His sympathy touched Professor Agassiz endeavored to show that ton. The entertainment was given by the not only the work of those in whom he was the charge of atheism which had been city of Boston. Everything was served up �THE FRIEND, MMIifIUKK, the most becoming and appropriate style. Before the large audience of invited guests were conducted to the " groaning " tables, there was such " a feast of reason and flow of soul" as rarely is spread before an expectant audience. The Rev. R. C. Waterston was Chairman of the meeting. He exhibited a palm branch that was laid upon the coffin of Humboldt at his funeral. This branch was brought to America and presented to Professor Agassiz. There was also on exhibition portraits, photographs, autographic letters, and various other memorials of him, whose memory the audience would honor by their presence. There were several extempore (speakers, in who entertained the andience in a most agreeable manner for nearly two full hours. The names of these speakers will indicate the general character of their addresses. First came Col. Higginson.so well known as a writer for the "Atlantic." The speaker contrasted the universality of Humboldt's knowledge with the infinitessimal acquirements of ordinary men. What poems and pictures did he leave for them ! When Hum- boldt said that a book about nature should produce on.the mind the same impression as nature herself, what a place did he assign to literature. The Comos testified to the grandeur of his position as a teacher. Nothing that they were likely to do or say was grand enough to express the value to theage of one such intellect as Humboldt. Then followed an address from the Rev. Dr. Hedges, a German scholar of great learning and eminence. He said that " Humboldt was a logical marvel of a man and an impressive illustration of the capacities of the human mind. After enlarging on his topic, he said he knew of no mind modern or ancient whose universality compared with Humboldt with the exception of Aristotle. There was a striking parallel between them. Both with the two great were contemporaneous conquerors of the world—Napoleon and Alexander. He then referred to the heroism of Humboldt, his unswerving devotion in extending the empire of mind, and the manner in which he had relieved the mind from the pressure of all that was local and limiting in Jewish theology* He defended Humboldt from the charge of atheism that had been brought against him. He had always expressed his belief in a God; indeed, if he had not so believed he would not have had the heart to prosecute his investigations." The following remarks of the sage philosopher of Concord, Mass., Ralph Waldo Emerson, were listened to with deep interest: «' He thought the life of Humboldt one of the most remarkable in history. He was one of those wonderful men who appeared from time to time as if to show us the possibilities of the human mind and to exalt our ideas of the genus homo. The faculties of all of us were apt to appear separately—one appearing now and another again. Humboldt was like Aristotle or Julius Caesar, or an admirable Crichton—one of the few great universal men whose faculties were not separated, but worked in unison, the men being well put together. There seemed to be a sort of electric light in them through which their faculties mutually aided each other. He thought that the service which Humboldt had rendered to humanity was in the remarkable manner in which he had exhibited himself in his extraordinary Cosmos. He marched along like an army with solid phalanx and expanded wings, in the full clauses and parentheses of those remarkable pages. He did not think there was any book like it. His powers were so large and so self-helping that nothing could lose or disappoint him. When he was stopped in Spain and could not get away, he turned round and interpreted the mountain system of Spain and explained the past history of the continent of Europe. Wherever he stopped he found resources for. his mind. They were all familiar with his history, and were glad to hear the statements that had been made. That remarkable nation of Germans had been growing upon us, and showing themselves to be the foremost scholars of the world. They had a certain pace, one might say, a certain endurance, a certain power ol labor, which left all other scholars behind them. They knew well their strength, and nations were coining to know it. The Germans said if was not the battle of Leipsic but the Leipsic catalogue which raised them above the French. The Germans read a literature, while Americans read a book. Their power of endurance and pace made a class of scholars such as had never before been seen. He remembered reading in Cavier that more remains of the fossil elephant were found in Germany than in any other country. It was not because there were more remains in the soil, but because in every canton of that remarkable country there was a man of scientific culture who could make the necessary investigations. There was a better report of scientific facts from Germany than from any other country*'' Addresses were also made by Dr. Jackson, of Boston, and the Rev. Mr. Young, Professor of Oriental languages and literature in Harvard University. As the exercises were protracted to a late hour, we left the hall while the assembly was engaged in the agreeable privilege of "supping at the city's expense. We learned from the Boston I domrtieer of the following morning that "after the repast, a poem, remarkable for its vigor and thoughtfulness, was spiritedly read by Professor Oliver Wendell Holmes. The poem contrasted the two great children of the year 1769—Humboldt and Napoleon,—and in a few striking and picturesque verses, compared the lasting glories resulting from the conquest of knowledge to the transitory success and embarrassments resulting from the conquest of empire. A fine poem writteu by Mrs. Julia Ward " . 91 1869. Howe was also read. The Germania Band played during the supper. A letter was read from J. G. Whittier. The company shortly afterwards separated." MONDAY MORNING MEETING OF ORTHODOX CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS OF BOSTON. There is a pleasant gathering of Congregational ministers of Boston and vicinity every Monday morning at the lecture mom of Park street Church. It was our privilege to be present and listen to familiar remarks and discussions on the 13th of September. About forty were present. Among them it was pleasant to be welcomed by the Rev. William Snow, of Lawrence, Mnss., and who is so well known in Honolulu. It is customary on these occasions lo discuss topics of current interest relating to local matters, missionary and ecclesiastical, and also questions relating to national affairs. On this occasion the lopic up for consideration was the Chinese problem, now being solved by the American people. It is quite remarkable how suddenly and potentially this question has burst upon the American mind—lay and clerical. A clap of thunder in a clear sky would not have been more unexpected to the majority of the community. This question appears to have arisen simultaneously with the completion of the Pacific railroad. The instant the last spike was driven this great question was precipitated upon the public mind. Hitherto the Chinese of California appeared as far distant as their countrymen on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean. It was somewhat remarkable too that just as the long and violent agitation of the negro question was beginning to subside and quiet was gaining possession of the public mind, there comes up the Chinese problem for elucidation and settlement. AH classes in the community appear to be interested in' the discussion of this important subject. All the newspnpers, both religious and secular, continually present theirreaders with paragraphs relating to the Chinese. Editors, politicians, divines, manufacturers, laborers and philanthropists have their peculiar ideas, more or less tinged by their own previously formed opinions. It was not strange then that a company of Orthodox congregational ministers should come together on Monday morning lor a free and easy discussion of the history, churacter.-, peculiarities, ideas and prospects of JOHN CHINAMAN. A special invitation was extended to us to present the condition and prospects of the Chinese on the Hawaiian Islands. As we had become somewhat acquainted and interested in the subject, it afforded us some degree of gratification to indicate the method the Chinese problem was being solved in Honolulu, and on the islands generally, We �92 I 111 , IKIE N D, NOVEMBER, 1869. word, but also to say it in the right season, and to follow it up by the right conduct.

His face indicated a man of not over thirty years—a period at which men are still young—'but his hair was as white as fresh fallen snow. One seldom sees, even on the heads of the oldest men, hair of such immaculate whiteness. He sat by my side in a car of the Great Western Railway, in Canada, and was looking out of the window. Suddenly turning his head, he caught me in the act of staring at him—a rudeness of which I was ashamed. 1 was about to say words of apology, when he quietly remarked : "Don't mention it, sir. I'm used to it." The frankness of this observation pleased me, and in a very little while we were conversing on terms of familiar acquaintanceship, and before long he told me the whole story. " I was a soldier in the army of India," he said, " and, as it is often the case with the soldiers, I was a little too fond of liquor. One day 1 got drunk, and was shut up in the black hole for it. I slumped down upon the floor of the dungeon, and I was just dropping off" to sleep, when I felt a cold shape crawling across my right hand, as it lay stretched out above my head on the floor. 1 knew at once what it was—a snake! Of course, my first impulse was to draw away my hand but knowing that if I did so, the poisonous reptile would probably strike its fangs into me, I lay still, with my heart lieating in my breast like a trip-hammer. Of course, my fright sobered me instantly. I realized all my peril in its fullest extent. 0, how I lamented the hour that I first touched the liquor! In every glass of liquor there is a serpent; but it does not come to everybody in the shape that it did to me. With a slow, undulating motion, the reptile dragged its carcass across my face, inch by inch, and crept down over my breast, and thrust its head inside my jacket. As I felt the hideous scraping of the slimy body over my cheeks, it was only by a most tremendous effort that I succeeded in restraining myself from yelling loudly with mingled terror'and disgust. At last I felt the tail wiggling down towards my chin; but imagine what I felt at my heart, if you can imagine it, as 1 realized that the dreadful creature had coiled itself up under my jacket as I lay, and had seem ingly gone to sleep, for it was as still as death. Evidently it had no idea that I was a human creature ; if it had, it would not have acted in that way. All snakes are cowardly, and they will not approach a man unless to strike linn in sell-delense. Three hours I lay therewith that dreadful weight in my bosom, and each minute was an hour to me—like a year. I seemed to have lived a lifetime in that brief space. Every incident of my life passed through my memory in rapid succession, as they say is the case with the drowning man. I thought of my mother away in old England, my happy home by the Avon, my Mary, the girl 1 loved, and never expected to see tlioin more. For no matter how long 1 bore this, I felt that it must end in death at last. I lay as rigid as a corpse, scarcely daring even to breathe, and all the while my breast was growing colder and colder, where the snake was lying against it, with nothing but a thin *. otton shirt between my skin and its. I knew ; " 93 1869. that if I stirred it would strike, but I could much longer. Even if I succeeded in lying still until the guard came, 1 expected his opening the door and coming in, would be my death-warrant all the same; for no doubt the reptile would see that I was a man ;is soon as the light was let in at the door. At last I heard footsteps approaching. There was u rattling at the lock. It was the guard. He opened the door. The snake— a cobra di cobeUa, I now saw—darted up its huge hooded head, with the hideous rings around its eyes, as if about to strike. I shut my eyes and murmured a prayer. Then it glided away with swift motion and disappeared in the darkness. I staggered to my feet and fell swooning in the arms of the guard. For weeks after 1 was very sick, and when I was able to be about, I found my hair as white as you now see it. I have not touched a drop of liquor since."—Prtsbyttnot bear this riuit. What is Trouble? A company of Southern ladies were one day assembled in a lady's parlor, when the conversation chanced to turn on the subject of earthly affliction. Each had her story of peculiar trial and bereavement to relate, except one pale, sad looking woman, whose lusterless eye and dejected eye showed that she was a prey to the deepest melancholy. Suddenly arousing herself, she said in a hollow voice, " Not one of you know what trouble is." Will you please, Mrs. Gray," said the " kind voice of a lady who well knew her story, "tell the ladies what you call trouble?" " I will if you desire it," she replied, " for I have seen it. My parents possessed a competence, and my girlhood was surrounded by all the comforts of life. I seldom knew an ungratified wish, and was always gay and one light-hearted. 1 married at nineteen that I loved more than all the world besides. Our home was retired, but the sunlight never fell on a lovelier one, or a happier household. Years rolled on peacefully. Five children sat around our table, and a little curly head still nestled in my bosom. One night, about sundown, one of those fierce black storms came on, which are so common in our Southern climate. For many hours the rain poured down incessantly. Morning dawned, but still the elements'raged. The whole Savannah seemed afloat. The little stream near our dwelling became a raging torrent. Before we were aware of it, our house was surrounded by water. I managed with my bubea to reach u little elevated spot, on which lew wide spreading shade trees were standsome proing, whose dense foliage afforded sons strove tection, while my husband and to save what they could of our property.

" The sullen river raged around the huge trees; dead branches,upturned trunks, wrecks of houses, drowning cattle, masses of rubbish, all were floating past us. My boys waved their hands to me, then pointed upward. I knew it was a farewell signal, and you. mothers, can imagine my anguish. I saw them ail perish, and yet that was no trouble. " 1 hugged my balie close to my heart, and when the water rose to my feet, 1 climbed into the lower branches of the tree, and so kept retiring before it, till an All-powerful hand stayed the waves that they should come no further. I was saved. All my worldly possessions were swept away; all my earthly hopes blighted—yet that was not trouble. "My babe was all I had left on earth.

He is now erecting a vast edifice on n large vacant square, to be 200 feet front on Fourth Avenue, and 210 each on Thirty-second and Thirty-third streets the elegant structure to lie seven stories high, with an opensquare in the centre, and to cost over two millions of dollars. It is designed for the use of sewing-girls, female clerks, and working women, where cheap board and excellent accommodations are to be furnished.

Hunnewell. Boston 1869. : " Our table " is any spot whereon we can lay our paper conveniently or inconveniently for writing. Sometimes it is a trunk, at others a merchant's desk, at others " our knee " in a railway car, but now a student's table in the centre of one of the most choice and handsome collections of books. This library is that of the author of the work we have now under consideration. The friends of Hawaiian literature, books and history, are exceedingly fortunate in having a gentleman of Mr. Hunnewell's means and inclinations become so much interested in our islands, their inhabitants, and whatever relates to their welfare. He is a man of rare taste in his selection of books, pictures and works of art. The present work embraces a complete catalogue of all the books of travel, history, missions, commerce, science and literature which have ever been published at the islands, in America or Europe. We think any one examining this work will be surprised to learn how much has really been published about what Edward Everett humorously styled the little pin'head kingdom of the NOVEMBER, 1869. tinue to grow, for the words of Solomon are emphatically true in regard to the Hawaiian Islands, " of making books, there is no end." It only remains for us to notice the fact that only 100 copies arc printed in the quarto form. The printing is executed in the most costly style, upon tinted paper, at the press of A. A. Kingman, " Museum of Boston So- ciety of Natural History." As we look up from our sheet and glance our eyes around the beautiful book cases filled with costly bound and handsomely printed volumes, written by the gifted writers of ancient and modern times in Europe and America, wo are deeply impressed with the richness, value and usefulness of that legacy which the present generation of literary men have inherited from by-gone ages. The man fond of study and reading, and surrounded with such an array of books, and the means to purchase more, might well exclaim with one of Shakespeare's characters : man, my libniry " Me, poor largeenough." Was dukedom Mr. Hunnewell has a fancy not only for bibliographical studies and archaeological research in general, but for architectural study as a speciality.

This work was scarcely completed on the 2d of May last, when Mr. James Hunnewell, senior, died. In its publication he was ex- ceedingly interested. During the closing years of his life he renewed his youth by dwelling upon the scenes of his early life at the Hawaiian Islands. His friends and visitors were often entertained by his vivid descriptions of Hawaiian "scenes and scenery." Wc'cannot imagine anything more truly appropriate and graceful, respectful and filial, than for his only son to prepare this work and dedicate the same to his " dear and honored " father. Not only does the volume contain a catalogue of books relating to the Hawaiian Islands, but it is accompanied by an interesting prefatory essay upon "civilization at the Hawaiian Islands." Former bibliographists—Pease, Martin, Brigham, and others—are much indebted to the author for thus perfecting an undertaking which was commenced many years ago, and which kas been growing, and must con- books which we have examined is most interesting in itself. Tk it >•< nj net before ut was formerly in possession of Napoleon I. while a prisoner on the Island of St. Helena. It was among his books at the time of his death, and when his library was taken to London and sold, this set fell into the hands of some fortunate dealer in rare books, and has finally fallen into the hands of the au- thor of " Hawaiian bibliography." The original copper plates of this great work are reported to be preserved in the Vatican at Rome. Its publication extended through many years about the middleof the eighteenth century. An examination of such books, so many of which are to be found in private and public libraries, makes us feci that there were " giants in those days," and that the boasted learning of the nineteenth century is somewhat presuming. We would merely add that Mr. Hunnewell is now engaged in printing at his own expense the records of the first parish of Charlestown, Massachusetts. Some of these are more than two hundred years old, and contain information of importance relating to an interesting period of colonial history. DViAeaontlhyfJava. The destructive agency of carbonic acid gas on animal life is well exemplified in certain places where large quantities are evolved from the earth. The most striking instance, however, is the celebrated valley of Java, which, if any animal enters, he never leaves. The following interesting account is given by an eye-witness We took with us two dogs and some fowls to try experiments in this poisonous hollow. On arriving at the foot of the mountain we dismounted and scrambled up the side, about a quarter of a mile, holding on by the branches of trees. When within a few yards of the valley, we experienced a strong, nauseous suffocating smell, but on coining close to its edge this disagreeable odor left us. The valley appeared to be about half a mile in circumference, oval, and the depth from thirty to thirtyfive feet ; the bottom quite flat ; no vegetation ; strewed with some very large (apparently) river stones, and the whole covered with skeletons of human beings, tigers, pigs, deer, peacocks, and all sorts of birds. We could not perceive any vapor or any opening in the ground, which last appeared to us to be of a hard, sandy substance. It was now proposed by one of the party to enter the valley ; but at the spot where we were, this was difficult, at least for me, as one false step would have brought us to eternity, seeing no assistance could be given. We lighted our cigars, and with the assistance of a bamboo, we went down within eighteen feet of the bottom. Here we did not experience any difficulty in breathing, but an offensive nauseous smell annoyed us. We now fastened a dog to the end of a bamboo eighteen feet long, and sent him in. We had our watches in our hands, and in fourteen seconds he fell on his back, he did not move his limbs or look round, but continued to breathe eighteen minutes. We then sent in another, or rather he got loose and walked in to where the other dog was lying. He then stood quite still, and in ten minutes fell on his face, and never afterwards moved his limbs ; he continued to breathe seven minutes. We now tried a fowl, which died in a minute and a half. We threw in another, which died before touching the ground. During these experiments we experienced a heavy shower of rain ; but we were so interested by the awful sight before us that we did not care forgetting wet. On the opposite side, near a large stone, was the skeleton of a human being, who must have perished on his back, with his right hand under his head. From being exposed to weather, the bones were bleached as white as ivory. 1 was anxious to procure this skeleton, but an attempt to get it would have been madness.—A'< m York Obeeroer, : A little boy twelve years old once stopped at a country tavern and paid for his lodging and breakfast by sawing wood, instead of asking it as a gift.

Most sincerely we regretted that our lhniied time would not allow us the privilege of attending the commencement exercises, which began on the very Sabbath (June 20th) we were permitted to spend in Delaware. We did however enjoy the opportunity of listening to the Baccalnureate sermon preached in the village Methodist church at '3 o'clock P. M. It was delivered by the Rev. Dr. B. F. Cocker, pastor of the Methodist church at Ann Harbor, Michigan. The preacher chose for his text Acts xvii: 26, 27: "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth; and hath determined the times before ap- — coast. ! �1 II E I his petulant reply when the young Virginian volunteer modestly ventured to utter a word of caution to beware of an Indian surprise. Benjamin Franklin had also ventured to caution the British commander upon the same point before thearmy left Philadelphia, but replies the over confident General, " These savages may indeed be a formidable enemy to your raw American militia, but upon the King's regular and disciplined troops, sir, it is impossible they should make any impression." Franklin in his home-spun style, remarks in his autobiography, " When I heard that, said no more." This is a most beautiful region. The scenery is very fine. The surrounding hills and the intervening valleys, with the Monongahela meandering along on its way to join the Alleghany at Pittsburg, where they form the beautiful Ohio, all combined present such a picture of loveliness, beauty and grandeur, that the beholder is quite lost in its contemplation. Great numbers of visitors annually resort to this spot, rendered so famous in the colonial history of ourcountry. It was an event which undoubtedly had an important influence upon the minds of the colonists, and fostered the idea that there was a possibility of successfully withstanding a British army in the field of battle. The whole transaction," remarks Franklin, "gave us the first suspicion that our exalted ideas of the prowess of British regular troops had not been well founded." All historians agree, however, in lauding the gallantry and bravery of General Braddock on European battle-fields, but having never served in America, he was ignorant of the peculiarity of the country, and would not take advice, even from his best friends. " COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT AMHERST, MASS. Before leaving the Islands, it was our design to lie present at the commencement, exercises at Amherst College. Such are the railroad facilities for travel, and time tables are so admirably arranged, that we reached Amherst at midnight on the 3d, and the exercises commenced on the Sabbath, the 4th of July. The first day is styled fiaccalaiti; rlt, Sl/lli/'li/. The services were opened by a celebration of the Lord's Supper, Sabbath morning, in the Collrge chapel. There was no sermon, but President Steams, pastor of the College church, was assisted by President Fairchild, of Oberlin College. About two-thirds of the undergraduates are members of the College church. The exercises were solemn and impressive. In following our Saviour's example „th«y- •* sung a hymn " and separated. We were interested in the circumstance (bat the hymn should have lieen that most beautiful lyrical composition written by Sir John Bowring, His Hawaiian Majesty's Envoy 99 lIIKMi. DECEMBER, 1869. Extraordinary to the governments of Europe. It commencesthus: " In the cross of Christ I glory. Towering nYr the wrecks of time ; All the liglit ol H,icred story Bathsn round its head Buliliine," dec. The same hymn we noticed was sung when the graduating class at Andover Theological Seminary separated at the anniversary last year, IS6B. This hymn is a favorite among Orthodox Christians, yet was composed by a statesman and diplomatist known to be firmly Unitarian in his religions sentiments. He is also author of the oftsung hymn, commencing, '' Walrliiiiiiii nil ns ~f ill,, ni^lil." President Steams preached the Baccalaureate sermon before a large and appreciative audience at 3, P. M. He chose for his text Exodus xix:s: "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then shall ye Iki -a peculiar treasure unto me." As it was the 4th of July, the President's method of treating his subject was strongly seasoned with patriotic sentiments. He announced his theme, " The opportunity and meaning of America among the nations." After giving a rapid sketch of the history of Christianity, and making marked allusion to the history of the Pilgrim Fathers, the speaker portrayed our country's late struggle. He remarked, 1. America means universal freedom. 2. America means universal education. 3. America means Christianity. These several points were illustrated and enforced by references to history and the present state of our country. The President offered some remarks, designed to allay the fears of those who imagine that Catholicism will yet overspread America and blot out Protestantism. The following summary of his remarks upon this subject we copy from the Amherst /Student: "As to Romanism, we must take no counsel of our fears. Catholicism has a better side. We read mostly the works of its enemies. Romanism is nearly the same now as it was in the medieval ages, when it embodied the Christianity of the world. Besides, Romanian! never has been and never can be the same in this country as in Europe. The Catholics in Maryland were the authors of the noblest act of toleration. All the influences in this country are against its becoming here what it is in Europe. If all the Romanism in Europe should come to us, it could not find us. But even Romanism is unspeakably better than irreligion or infidelity. Rome is an apostacy, but it has the gospel, though under perversion. It can never rise in this country to the dignity of an argument against Protestantism." In conclusion, the President made a solemn appeal to the members of the graduatinf class to be true and faithful to their country and the Church of Christ. ADDRESSES BEFORE THE RELIGIOUS AND LITERARY SOCIETIES. An annual address before the Society of Religious Inquiry is delivered by some distinguished divine. This year President Fair- child, of Oberlin, was selected. This address was carefully prepared and thoughtfully elaborated, upon this theme, " The Decline of the Religious Sentiment." He spoke of religion as involving three elements: Ist, Intellectual 2d, Emotional ; and 3d, Ethical. The discussion of this subject indicated a ; thoughtful preparation. The nereraea of commencement wetk were varied by IWo other orations or addresses of marked excellence. We refer lo Prof. Diman's address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and Senator Patterson's before the Social Union. The former, that of Professor Diinan, was upon "Academic Culture." Perhaps no better illustration of the, subject could be furnished than the address itself. It was beautifully written, and most scholarly in all its reasoning. There was a finish, a polish, </ cultun so interwoven and rounding off its paragraphs, that the hearer was impressed with the idea that the speaker communed more with the great scholars and master spirits of past ages, than with the ephemeral authors of the present day. Professor Dimau is connected with Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island. Senator Patterson's oration before the Social Union, or Union of the Literary Societies of the College, was a discussion of the theme, " Education in its Relations lo the State." Senator Patterson's high position as a member of the United States Senate, his characteras a scholarof varied culture,and his decided Christian sentiments, awakened a lively anticipation, which the delivery of the oration by no means lowered or weakened. The orator's fine and scholarly countenance, intellectual forehead, and commanding address, caused the audience to expect much ; hence when " thoughts that breathe and words that burn " flowed forth, all felt that it was good to be there, within the precincts of Amherst College. Our limits will not allow us to dwell minutely upon the " prize declamations " of the Freshman and Sophomore cla Neither can we specify lbs several orations of the graduating class. These performances indicated that Amherst College students of the present day fully sustained the character of the institution of a former generation, when such men were undergraduates as Governor Bullock, Key. H. Ward Beecher, Rev. Dr. Stoers, Bishop Huntingdon, Rev. Dr. Hitchcock of Union Theological Seminary, Professor Hackett of Newton Seminary, Professor B. B. Edwards of Andover Seminary, the Rev.

In 1871 there will be held a semi-centennial celebration. Professor Tyler has been appointed orator for the occasion"and college historian. The following statistics will indicate the growth and character of the institution : 1,82!) Vhole number of graduates, linisters of the gospel, 751 'oreign missionaries, 75 129 'hysiciuns, 180 lawyers and judges, 'rofessors and teachers, 208 Amherst graduates are now to be found in all parts of the world, and occupying positions of influence and importance. Probably no American college has sent forth more mis- - --- sionaries to foreign lands. Some have gone to Asia, others to Africa, and others to the islands of the sea. One of the most interesting gatherings of commencement week is the Alumni meeting and the Alumni reunion. Then convene those long separated, who come together to renew their acquaintance and brighten up their friendships. The utmost cordiality and kindly feeling prevail. Memories of college life of a former generation are brought into review. The names are reported of those who have been removed by death. When the graduates of former years return, it is delightful and refreshing to listen to their personal history—sometimes sad, sometimes amusing, and never uninteresting. It was our privilege to graduate in 1S!16, just thirty-three years ago. We now met only three of our fellow-graduates, but each representing one of the learned professions, viz : L. C. Kellogg, Judge of Vermont, Nathan Allen, M. D., of Lowell, Mass., and the Rev. Professor Roswcll D. Hitchcock, of New York city. The record of each is most honorable to himself and the profession which he has chosen. During commencement week we improved the opportunity to wander about the College premises and revisit old haunts, many of which recalled scenes of former days, highly calculated to suggest trains of useful reflection, while not a few spois reminded us of incidents admirably suited " To point a moral uih) ailorn a lale." SITE FOR AMHERST COLLEGE WELL CHOSEN. Great improvements have been made upon the College grounds during the last few years. Buildings of great architectural beautyhave been erected, and others are in process of erection. The institution is now well endowed, and manned by an able corps of professors and tutors, at the head of whom stands President Steams, who is a graduate of "old Harvard." During his presidency the College has been raised from its low estate of poverty. Liberal donations from wealthy friends of the institution began to be ( B ill 1.1; k.is b made during the lifetime of President Hitchcock, that learned geologist and scholar of natural science, who was emphatically one of Nature's noble men. We found only two professors remaining who taught in our colleg* days. We refer to Professors Snell and Tyler. Long may they there be permitted to labor with their present associates. We were impressed in our youthful days with the Amherst as an admirable site for a collegiate institution, but on our revisiting the spot our early impressions have been greatly deepened. It is a most beautiful region. The view from the College tower is one of surpassing loveliness, beauty and grandeur. We have never beheld anything to surpass it in all of our wanderings in North or South America, or the islands of the sea. The panorama is complete. On the north rises Sugar Loaf Mountain, standing as a sentinel, overlooking and guarding the- beautiful valley of the Connecticut. To the east Pelhain Hills stretch away, on whose sides woodland and cultivated fields are beautifully blended. To the south there is a range of hills, terminating with Mount Holyoke, of world-wide renown ; while to the west lies the " Norwood'" of Mr. Beecher and the valley of the Connecticut, along which the bcnutiful river by that name wends its way to Long Island Sound. With Holland, in " Kathrina," we can join our voice : il Thou lovely v;ile of sw,i t-st slpnhii thatll„ws, WhiilhiK mill willow-fritigeil eiiiiiioclii'ill, Swilily to illy fairtsl actacs i,i_\ limy Meg As I recall Ihe story " of my college days. In that beautiful valley we spent five and a half years, first as an academy student, and then as a collegian. It was just one-tenth of our life. It was at a most impressible period of existence. Friendships were then formed which have been life-long. It was delightful after having spent so many years in a foreign laud, to return and revisit that pleasant region. Our visit was in early July, just the season when Nature was fully robed, and the whole atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of the new-mown hay or the perfume of the cultivated fields and beautiful gardens. While looking out upon these scenes as we rode along the highway, walked under the shade of the majestic elm, strolled over the pleasure grounds, or surveyed the whole surrounding region from the College tower, the lines of the poet Campbell were suggested to mind '• The Uueen of Ihe Spriur; as riM pasasal down the Vara.

As years and ages roll away, may the youth of New England and America resort thither to pursue their studies preparatory to the labors, toils and conflicts of professional life, and from those halls, consecrated to learning, science and religion, may they go forth to make this world better. Should this result follow, the pious founders and generous patrons of Amherst College will find their prayers answered and their efforts crowned with a divine blessing. 9. CaBboiny'sJocher. ying ailor. TheDS ByREV. JAMES BEECHER. 1 have had some pleasing reflection:, concerning the happy death of a poor fellow whom I found in one of the sailor boardinghouses ashore, and took on hoard my residence, that he might at least have a decent place to die in. A fouler hole than that from which I took him, can scarcely be imagined. There were no less than fourteen man-o'war's men lying about the floor, dead drunk, while half a dozen more were singing, and shouting, and swearing. The whole air was reeking with the funics of stale tobacco and bad ruin. I was sorry for the blaspneming company,—more sorry even than tor those who, in drugged sleep, were, at least for the time being, incapable of oaths. My ears were stunned, my eyes blinded, my stomach sick, my heart sad and sore. And yet in this den of iniquity lay a human being dying of consumption. Into his shattered lilies poured this steaming, pestilential air. Into his dying cars poured tins even more pestilential flood of filthy und profane babbling. He feared to die, and well he might, for he could not bear to think of a place of punishment worse than that in which be was. And as his hollow cough rung put now and then above all the confusion and noise, it sounded like a death-knell pealing over the lost souls of the whole company. Such, then, was the place where I found this young man. And as I came to his bed side, and told him ! was a minister of the gospel, he turned his face to the wall, and burst into tears. "Oh," said he, "it's too late now, —too late now. I've only a day or two te live,—and what is that to a whole life ol sin. The time is past. I must to go—go." And his voice broke into sobs so overpowering that I feared for his life. I could not pray there,—it seemed u mockery to pray there, and speak of peace. My heart was M full of sadness, and agony even, that prayer was denied me. Said I, «• my poor icliow, you are dying, it is true, and'l can't save you, but you shall at least have a decent place to die in " and by the kind assistance of a friend who lives "with nic, we had him ere long on board my Bethel, in a pleasant room, still and quiet, with pure air breathing all about him, and pure water rippling by his open windows. It seemed as though his heart would overflow with tear of gratitude. "Oh," said he, -it's joy enough to die here." But the best of all is yet to come. He revived at once; and though it was evident ihat his time was short, yet it pleased God to relieve him from pain. For two or three days I read much, and prayed much with him, but could not prevail upon him to pray. ; One night, however, to my surprise, Lheard him through the thin bulkhead which separates our rooms, praying with such earnestness and power, that it seemed as though God were present in the room with him. 1 went to sleep, and awoke about midnight, and still was he wrestling in prayer. I would not break in upon him, but earnestly did I pray for him,—and even to the morning �THE FRIEND, light, without repose, without cessation, did his prayers pour forth. After breakfast I went into his room, and oh, how changed was that sunken face of his ! Sunken it was as ever, but so lighted up by smiles of joy and hope, that I could scarcely believe my eyes ! Tears rolled down bis cheeks, as he clasped my hand, and m broken words tried to tell me how be Was praying, and v mm the LordJetue, not with ray eyes," said he, " for they were shut, and 1 was afraid to open them, but ktn —M here/" laying his hand upon his breast. Long we prayed together,—his excitement passed away, and in its place came such gentle, trusting, peaceful resignation, that I gained a lesson I shall never forget. Gradually he sank day by day,—painless, fearless—even joyful. His two days of life were lengthened to three weeks, And ten minutes before he died, lying in my arms, he looked up, and said, in broken words, " O Mr. 8., God bless you,—God bless you." Said I, " My poor fellow, you have probably only a few minutes to live. Does that hope stand by you still. Is JsMM your hope and your salvation ? " " Yes, yes," said he, and closed his eyes as if in sleep. I laid his head upon the pillow, and thinking that he would doze a little, as he had before done, I stepped into the next room for a few moments' rest ; then my boy called me, and when I ran in he was"just drawing his last breath. No struggle—no pain. His spirit had left as peacefully as though there were no bands to break in "its separation from the body. The following letter was addressed to the Prince of Wales during his visit to the United States in 1860. We state the fact, upon the authority of General Williams, of Norwich, Ct., that after the return of the Prince to England, this letter was printed, accompanied by the English coat of arms, thus indicating that the sentiments expressed in this letter were approved of by the Prince, although hi? example might tend in another direction. The letter has been extensively circulated in the United States in the form of a tract. The copy we forward for publication in the friend was presented to us by General Williams. He is accustomed to circulate great numbers of tracts among the children, youth and those of riper years residing in Norwich and vicinity. Most sincerely do we hope that the republication of this letter in the Friend may result in good. Kiiii'ou in-' the Friend.

We gave you, my Lord, unmistakable evidence of affectionate homage, when " the shout of a king" went up on every hand, and men of all panics cried " God save the Queen," and You, the heir of her illustrious throne ! Hence, in this appeal, 1 shall not disgust you by offering a needless amount of homage, nor degrade myself by making unnecessary apologies. Your likeness is among us in daguerreotypes by thousands, and it may gratify you to know that our artists have in no instance disfigured the countenance of your Royal Highness by the presence of your meerschaum with its noxious fumes. But I am sorry to say that our youth, far and near, have discovered that the Prince whom we delighted to honor is a devotee of this idol—a victim of this master-vice of the age ! Wherever these dear boys trace you in your route, whether on railroads, rivers or lakes, in Canada or Illinois, in Baltimore or Boston, on the heights of Quebec or on the banks of the Potomac, they see you with this idol in your mouth, environed by smoke I have spent ten of the best years of my life in battling tobacco, in warning our rising millions against this fashionable abomination and its affinities, and in forming Bands of Hope. Hence you compel me to tell you, my Lord, that your example has been contagious, and in this particular pernicious. We were afflicted with juvenile smokers before. These young Etna* were about us in abundance. But now our tobacconists, urged by cupidity, are rapidly manufacturing the Prince of"Wales Cigars, and, by this fascinating brand, our urchins and dandies are fast copying this vice of yours, who may never copy your virtues. I hate tobacco as Lord Nelson hated a Frenchman. " 1 will fight a Frenchman," was his language, " wherever I can find him ; wherever he can anchor, my ship shall be there." Hence, even your Koyal Highness may expect no quarter for this vice ; for, God helping me, I will battle it alike on a throne or in a dungeon.

My Lord : I am informed that God has endowed you I) 101 dividual capacity or position, butas "a prospective monarch ; " for I wish to induce you to abandon a habit which will essentially impair your ability to rule over the most pow- erful nation on earth. In the first place, my Lord, "your habit may prove fatal to self-control, and, by enslaving you, incapacitate you to rule others." You early made use of this poison. You use it freely, and already it may have gained the mastery. The man who is mastered is one who has lost the power of resistance— one who is subject to some despot, some passion or imperious appetite. Artificial appetites are despotic masters; and the appetite for this poison, once formed, is eminently such ; it becomes a " ruling passion," swaying its victims at will. We have many political demagogues in America, who make a vast uproar respecting foreign despotisms, who disgust us by their vulgar and boisterous boastings of liberty, whilst they themselves, victimized by this nauseous drug, are abject slaves ! They care more for this popular poison than for God, Man, or State. Thus is it with us, my Lord. How is it with you ? Which has the ascendency, you or your meerschaum? "As the eye of a servant is unto the hand of his master," is not your eye upon this fond idol ? Is it not among your last indulgences at night, and your first in the morning ? What luxuries flowing from the munificent hand of God— what fruits—what food—what pastimes— whatfriends—what studies—what sciences— what affairs of state—what province in all the vast amplitude of your dominions, occupies half so much time or attention as your fond cigar, or your idolized pipe? Here, here is a " power "—let no one despise it— which carries " kings into captivity, arid binds princes at its pleasure." No man, my Lord, who has the soul pf a man, can contemplate the mission of England and America—a mission, under God, which is to spread constitutional liberty and Christ's religion over the carth—but must regard you, England's coming Ki»<i, with intense interest and genuine good will.

Tobacco is undeniably a poison, which injures the health, strength and manly courage of ordinary mortals; and we are yet to learn that the laws of Nature pay any such deference to royal blood, as to suppose it may not injure you. Divine authority hus said, "It is the honor of a king to tearch a matter." We ask you, then, to go to the royal shelves, consult some volume which treats on vegetuhlepoisons, and learn the nature and baneful effects of tobacco. Set it down, my Lord, as a scientific and philosophical truth, that God no more intended you should make this poison a bosom friend than prussic acid, arsenic, henbane, or a rattlesnake with his fatal fangs. As a poison, it disturbs the entire physical economy— affects the nervous system, at one time maddening the sensibilities, at another rendering its victim as amiable and oblivious as a sleep- ing babe ! We paint imperfectly, my Lord, but we paint from life. We think this poison, used by one generation after another, injures th'e nerves, strength and " style of man ; " or, in the language of an English physician, "It destroys the very principle of manhood." In the lapse of time its votaries take on a peculiar type—they become tremulous and timid, lank and Jean—they do not rise to the stature of men, and, what is worse, they afflict church and state by entailing on their posterity their own physical and moral deterioration. Says another English physician, the father is never so strikingly " The sin of visited on his children as in the sin of tobacco-smoking." I know, my Lord, that some, who by chance may glance at this humble tract, will treat this subject with contempt. But, should you consult such statesmen as Lord Palmer* ston, such divines as the Dean of Carlisle, and such physicians as Brodie, they might tell you that the man is not born who can take " the gauge and dimensions of this insidious enemy, which " has smote great nations." Why have Mexico, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Spain now so little nationality? Tobacco with them has had free course, and is a mighty cause, among others, of their inferior position. May not such be the fate of England ! The example of a prince, says the word of God, may be " clothed with desolation." Hence, we aim to defend " Young America," my Lord, against your injurious example. But we cannot forget that there is Young Ireland, Scotland and England, atid that you have bumble reformers in your own dominions wielding the battle-axe against this and kindred evils, amidst indifference and derision. It is the character of a virtuous prince to live for the good of his people. Hence, we beg you, my Lord, to drop your meerschaum and its affinities ; and as you are prospectively the Head of the Church, we beg you to be the Head of the Temperance Cause amidst a loyal and noble people. A cause of such intrinsic excellence, working so admirably in all places and times, may not borrow one iota of glory from prince or potentate; still,so much tire the masses swayed by " names," that you, the Prince of Wales, have power sufficient to give it a glorious " < i<: u it c k . 18 69. impulse, which will be felt till time shall end. Advance, my Lord, and honor the injunction, " It is not for kings to drink wine, nor princes strong drink." Give your princely strength to struggling reforms by pledging total abstinence from intoxicating drinks and deadly drugs." You will then be the crown of rejoicing to the Sons and Daughters of Temperance the world over ; and Bands of Hope will spring from the peat lands of Ireland, from the blue hills of Scotland, and from the cold regions of the Canadas, and bless you. Dear boys and girls, by millions, will clap their hands, and give you such a throne in their hearts as no earthly monarch ever filled. Respectfully, your friend, my Lord, Geo. Trask.

With the opening of the year IS7O we commence the 27th volume of the Frkml, wishing our readers, on land and sea, a happy New Year. True and lasting happiness is only found by yielding a heart obedience to the will of God ; and this is His will: " That ye may believe on Him, whom He hath sent." A living faith in Christ and His word, which purifies the heart and life, is alone the source of real happiness, remembering that without this faith it is impossible to please God. Be persuaded, then, to seek and live for Christ, and you will prove by experience the truth of these words, and realize in life and death the Divine promise : Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be "well with him." The Friend as the oldest paper published in this part of the world has an historical importance, and its direct attention to the moral and religious culture of seamen gives it a claim upon all who desire their welfare. The influence of a periodical which -is scattered so widely and fills so peculiar a place is by no means small. Its past record has been consistent, truthful and earnest, and its future we trust will be worthy of approval by all who love the good cause of progress and religion. Donations.—Thankfully we acknowledge the following From Capt. Bennett, towards support of the Friend, $5; from Mr. George S. Lawrence, for Bethel, $2. Also fine col* of books, magazines and papers for istribution among seamen from O. H. Gulick, Esq., and His Excellency J. Mott Smith. : Sections 1 \m Series, M 21.

A greater than Solomon and nil hia prophets sent those who distrusted in God's providence, to the lilies of the field and the fowls of heaven " Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not erjnal to one of these." The influence of all this on pious men in ancient Israel was most beneficial. Living us they did much in the open air and in perpetual view of the wondrous works of God in earth and sky, nature was seen by them to be full of God. Would that the example set by Hebrew shepherds and husbandmen as they tended their flocks, or pruned the vineyards, would induce those who live much among the worlds of nature now to take the same elevated views. The works of nature would, in this way, afford a higher and nobler pleasure, when thus associated with God and wilh divine things, than when associated merely with professional work and sordid earthly solicitudes. There was not an object in the mineral, the vegetable or animal kingdom which was not capable of being enlisted into the service of Christ. The plant in particular had been employed by the inspired writers to convey spiritual lessons. The life of the plant seemed to them like the spiritual life of the soul; the rain and dew that nourished it reminded them of the grace which came down fromdheaven; the flowers which adorned it taught them that the soul should be adorned with heavenly graces ; and the fruit which it yielded, admonished, them that they too must bring forth fruit unto God. The lesson of this day was derived from the plants. Christ himself was the teacher, and the grass and lilies were the lesson book. The greatest of all teachers was employing his works as symbols, figures, or models to instruct us in divine truths. Our attention was called to four topics. First we were called to consider the works of God, and in particular the plants, the lilies, and the grass of the field. We were to mark them, to mark how they grew, and we needed no scientific knowledge, no learned terms to enable us to do this. All persons who had eyes to see might in particular observe two things. First, every part of the plant was made to serve an end; every organ of the plant had its use. To every reflecting mind this was obvious. Secondly, there was visible in the plant an order, an a beauty. Special reference was made to this by Him who made them, and who now used them to teach us lessons. God was said not only to have made but to have clothed the grass of : the field. We were also called to consider the grounds which we had for trusting in God that he will provide for our temporal wants : Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of —" field which to-day is, and to-morrow is the cast into the oven, much more shall he clothe you." This was a specimen of Bible reasoning; the Bible spoke as unto wise 11 NO , JANUARY, 1870. men, and called on us to judge what it said. Its reasonings were all brief, all very conclusive, but at the same time easily followed. We were also called to consider that if God so clothed the grass of the field, that if he so clothed the bodies of his people, much more would he clothe their souls with heavenly graces. This was not the direct lesson taught by the text, but it nrose directly out of it. Our souls had already been cut off from God, the source of all spiritual life; but so great value did God set on these souls that He sent his Son from heaven to save them from everlasting death. Christ's work when on earth was a work of salvation, and his prerogative was still to seek and save that which was lost. He was in this world now by his Spirit as he once was by his bodily prcseirce. Wherever Christ went he left behind him traces of his presence. Before him, as he marched through the world, were the blind, the deaf, the dying and the dead; behind him were the seeing, the hearing, the living and the loving. His was a work of salvation, a work of beautifying; not only was the soul once dead made alive by his work, but beautified and adorned. If men had faith but as a grain of mustard seed they would, by the vital power which was imparted, be clothed with graces of many a hue, each lovely in itself, and lovely in the place which it had to occupy. There would be the brighter colors ; the blue, the pink, and the orange of faith and confidence and hope, mingling with the darker but not less lovely colors, with the red, the purple, and the olive of penitence, humility and patience; and the whole lightened and brightened by what was after all the pure beam of heaven, by the pure white light of love coming direct and unbroken from Him who was light and love. Our souls needed to be beautified ; they needed not only to be renewed, but to be adorned. There were some Christian men and women who were under the influence ot true faith and steady principle, but they were not amiable. They were cross, or peevish, or violent, or stubborn. Such persons needed to be clothed, that they become not only good but lovely. This world was but a place of nurture, where we were to be nurtured, and then transplanted into the paradise above. The flowers around us hud their beauty but for a day, but it was different with the souls which were being adorned by the Spirit of God ; they were to bloom forever in a better land, where were no winds to blight nor storms to destroy. Dr. McCosh concluded by exhorting his hearers to rebuke their unbelief, for it was a want of faith or at least a weakness of faith, which led us to be so overwhelmed with wordly anxieties. Sabbath afternoon we started out in search of a church, which was open for preaching, and after visiting a Methodist, a Baptist, and a Unitarian, we returned at 4 P. M., and heard another sermon at Shawmut Church, from the Rev. Dr. McCosh. His text was " Unto me, who am less than the least of all Saints." He described the character of the Apostle Paul and gave some reasons for the sentiment of the text. We were interested in noticing the method of sermonizing adopted by Dr. McCosh, win. enjoys so good a reputation as a Divine and ■ preacher. His method is that of preachers who divide off their discourses into divisions and sub-divisions, and from the discussion, drawing certain inferences. The theory of some preachers, that a sermon is a " Sacred Oration," was evidently not taught the young preachers where he studied. In the evening our efforts to find a church open for preaching were even more fruitless than in the afternoon. We visited Park Street, King's Chapel, Old South, Hollis Street, Bloornfield, Tremont Temple, including Orthodox and Heterodox, but no preacher could we find ready to proclaim the gospel, yet the streets appeared to be full of people, and the Common was thronged with pleasure-seekers. At last we saw a dim light in the vestry of Park Street Church, and on entering heard a few worshipers singing, mSweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care." The services were conducted by a young man whose appearance and youthfulness most favorably impressed us. His remarks upon one of the Psalms of David were very appropriate. The audience was very small, considering the multitudes seen outside of the church, and the fact that no churches were open where preaching was to be heard. We returned homeward, having had our religious emotions enlivened by the exercises of the prayer-meeting, but cannot but think it somewhat strange, that in this great city, abounding with churches, there should be found scarcely a single one open for preaching on a Sabbath evening, even if it was in the warm weather of July. At Honolulu we are not aware that a single Sabbath evening has passed during the last quarter of a century when there was not preaching in English at either the Bethel or Fort Street Church ; and during much of the time at both. AMONG THE SPINDLES AT FALL RIVER, MASS. In order to visit an old college class-mate, the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, of Union Theological Seminary, who was spending his summer vacation at Fall River, we visited this famous city of spindles. Our visit was fortunately at a time when we met another old college friend, the Rev. Dr. Poor, of Newark, N. J., who is soon to leave for the Pacific Coast, to assume the pastoral charge of the Ist Presbyterian Church of Oakland, California. During our brief sojourn in New England, we have been enabled to meet many of our old college friends and acquaintances. It is exceedingly pleasant and refreshing to renew friendships, formed more than thirty years ago, in the freshness of youth and amid the scenes of collegelife.

Hiram Bingham, Senior, was bom nt Bennington, Vt., October 30th, 1789 ; graduated at Middlcbury College in 1816,and at Andover Theological Seminary in 1819. He and his clerical associate in the Mission, the late Rev. Asa Thurston, were ordained at Goshen, Ct., on the 29th of September. He was soon after married to Miss Sybil Moseley, of Westfield, Mass., a lady of distinguished qualifications for the missionary work. The pioneers of the Sandwich Island Mission consisted of Rev. Hiram Bingham, Rev. Asa Thurston and their wives, and of Messrs. Daniel Chamberlain, Thomas Dolman, Samuel Whitney, Elisha Loomis, Samuel Ruggles, and their wives, together with three Hnwaiiaus—John Honolii, Thomas Hopu and Willi'im Kanui, who had been educated at the Mission School in Cornwall,Ct. They sailed from Boston October 23d, 1819, on the brig Thaddeus, Capt. Blanchard, and arrived at Honolulu April 19th, 1820. after a passage of six months. Here Mr. Bingham took up his residence during the twenty years of his missionary life. Honolulu was then a large irregular village of grass huts, inhabited by ignorant, idolatrous and super- stitious savages. It is not easy at this late period to enumerate all the trials and privations of the pioneer missionaries to these Islands. Their opportunities to communicate with their friends and the Prudential Committee in Boston were few and far between. Their annual supplies from home were on a very small scale, and by no means sufficient for the health and comfort of their families. Here they were strangers in a strange land, among a people destitute of civil and religious institutions, whose language had never been reduced to writing. They must begin dc novo, with the alphabet, determine the number of its vowels and consonants, make up a vocabulary of words, decide upon their orthography and their etymology; they must enter immediately upon the work of preparing elementary school books, must translate portions of Scripture, and thus prepare the way to communicate the good news and glad tidings of salvation to this people. But they had trials to meet of a far more formidable character than these. Like Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles, they could say " In perils of robbers, in perils by the heathen, and in j>erils by my OWN cimtitryiiten" Yes, some of their greatest trials and" apprehensions of evil were from their MM roi/nM/men ! But notwithstanding the many trying circumstances in which they were : placed at the commencement of their Mission, they went forward in the name of their Lord and Masteatand he enabled them to come off more thTn oonquerers. Truth and righteousness prevailed, and the rulers in a few years adopted the Christian religion as the religion of the nation. A few months after the arrival of the pioneers at these islands, Messrs. Bingham and Thurston wrote a joint letter to the Society of Inquiry on Missions at Andover Theological Seminary, in which are the following prophetic interrogations : " Is it too much to hope that, before many months shall pass . 187 0. away, perhaps on some favored day of the churches throughout New England and the monthly concert, while Zion is on her knees Middle States. before God, this nation may be born, and Several years after Mrs. Bingham's death, added to the Redeemer's crown '.'

The death of this great philanthropist occurred, at his residence in London on the 4th of last November. His numerous and magnificent charities will long endear his name to millions in England and America. From an exchange we take the following sketch of his life Mr. Pcabody was born in Dauvers, Mass., February 18th, 1795. Hisearliestancestorin America was Francis Peabody, who left St. Albans, in Hertfordshire, England, in 1635, and settled, after some sojournings, at Topsfield, Mass. The dwelling and saw mill which he built there are said to be still standing He was a man of considerable prominence in the community, and left what was then regarded as a large property. But before the end of the next century, when his descendant, the late banker and philanthropist, was born, the family had ceased to be wealthy, and Thomas Peabody, the father of George* was in straitened circumstances. His education was such as the common schools ol Danvers could supply, and even these advantages he enjoyed only until he was eleven years old, when he was placed in a grocery store in Danvers. Here he spent four years, then went for a year to his grandfather's in Thetford, Vt., and afterward to his brother's store in Newburyport. A fire there put an end to his brother's business, and George was invited by his uncle John to to with him to begin a new business enterprise at Georgetown, D. C. Here the business was nominally conducted by the nephew on account of his uncle's financial embarrassments, but, fearing that he might be made answerable for debts not incurred by him, the young man, then only nineteen years old, left his uncle and formed a partnership with Elisha Riggs in the dry goods trade. The business, for which Mr. Kiggs furnished the capital, was entirely conducted by Mr. Pcabody, and in about a year was removed to Baltimore. Here it was so successful that in 1822 a branch of the house was established in Philadelphia and one in New York. In 1829 Mr. Riggs retired from the business, and Mr. Peabody became the head of the house. He had occasion several times to go to Europe to buy goods, and was entrusted by the State of Maryland with financial business, which he accomplished very advantageously, refusing all compensation for his services, for which, however, the General Assembly expressed in public resolutions the gratitude of the State. : In 1837 Mr. Peabody went to London to reside, continuing to conduct the business of the firm until 1843, when he dissolved the partnership, and established himself in business as a banker. In this business he was uniformly prosperous, and accumulated a great fortune. The first circumstance which attracted general attention to him from America, was his gift of £4,000 to enable American exhibitors to appear with credit at the international exhibition of 1851 in London, for which Congress, unlike the governments of European nations, had failed to make any provision. The next year he furnished $10,000 to equip the expedition under Dr. Kane to the Arctic seas in search of Sir John Franklin. In 1852 he began thatseries of munificent benefactions which are now inseparably associated with his name, by a gift of $20,000 to found an institute and library for the people of his native town, the origin of the Peabody institute, which has now an endowment of $200,000 from his generosity. In 1857 he founded a similar institute on a larger scale in Baltimore, giving at first $300,000, aud raising the amount subsequently to $1,000,000! In 1862 he made the first of his gifts to "ameliorate the condition of the poor and needy " of London. He at first placed in the hands of trustees the sum of £150,000, to be used by them in their discretion for the general purpose of improving the condition of the London poor, with no restriction other than his suggestion that a portion of this sum should be used in the " construction of such improved dwellings for the poor as may combine in the greatest possible degree the essentials of healthfulness, comfort, social enjoyment and economy." The amount given for this purpose was afterwards increased to £350,000, equal to more than $2,000,000 of our currency. In acknowledgment of these distinguished benefactions, besides the municipal honors conferred by the city of London, the British Government proposed to give him a baronetcy or the Grand Cross of the Bath, but he declined these compliments, and, being pressed to mention what would be acceptable, he said : "A letter from the Queen of England, which I may carry across the Atlantic and deposit as a memorial of one of her most faithful sons." The Queen sent him an autograph letter, accompanied with her portrait in enamel, both of which are deposited in the Peabody Institute at Danvers. But Mr. Peabody's greatest benefaction was his gift to build up education at the South. To this object he gave in all nominally $3,000,000, but a considerable part of this amount was in funds not now productive and having only a small market value, but which the donor thought would ultimately be worth their face. Besides all these gifts, he bestowed large sums upon each of a considerable number of educational, literary and charitable institutions, and built a beautiful church as a monument to his mother at Georgetown, Mass. Mr. Peabody's health had lieen infirm for several years, and his death, though not immediately apprehended, it was known could not be distant. Since his return to Europe, a few months ago, he had visited the south of France, hoping that his health might be benefited by the climate, and had lately arrived again in London. He was never married. The greater part of his fortune had been given to the various benevolent objects we have mentioned. He died equally regretted by both the great nations that he had blessed with his benefactions, and leaving an example which other rich men may emulate with satisfaction to themselves, and advantage to mankind. Along with the Editor's Notes from the United States, we expect to commence interesting Editorial correspondence from the Old World, in the next month's issue—it having reached us too late for insertion in this number. 5 THE FRIEND, JANUARY. 1870.

Captain L. McKay, of Boston, has furnished some interesting facts evidencing the immense strides iron ocean steam navigation is making. Wooden steamers have for years superseded the sailing packets upon every ocean line, and now the former have in turn to give place to those of iron; and sailing vessels constructed of this material, trading on the long routes, are also being crowded off the seas by the rapid encroachments of the metallic steamer. The beautiful China clip- pers which have won so much fame by their swift flights from the Orient to this country and Europe, loaded with the precious products of China and the Indies, will soon, like the old Liverpool liners of this port, become things of the past. Already have steamers arrivetl at London from China. One brought 3,000 tons of tea, and made the trip in sixtyfive days; and another with a freight valued at $150,000 and another made the trip in sixty-two days, also richly freighted ; and the same owners are building four more for the same trade. And thus they progress. The old Dramatic, the Black Ball, the Black Star and other Liverpool lines from this port, and the Havre and other Continental lines, so intimately connected with our city's commerce and prosperity, have had to yield to the merciless steamer. The historical frigate ships, the pride of the old British India Company—the Australian, the : Brazilian and West Indian packets—have all in turn been driven off the course hy the irrepressible new agent that links together the most distant parts of the earth in her iron band. The Iron A (ft was a suggestive name for the bark lately launched on the Delaware— the first of her class ever built this side of the Atlantic, and few will doubt its applicability when on one river—the Clyde—there are now on the stocks, in various stages of forwardness, 100 iron steamers, aggregating 100,000 tons, and that the last year's production for the same place amounted to no less than 171,126 tons of iron steamers and sailing vessels.

Admiral Turner, left for San Francisco op Wednesday, December 15, having spent some six weeks in port. The visit of the Admiral here has been one of observation by order o\ his Government, and will be attended with good results, as it has given him an opportunity to make a personal inspection of the condition of American commerce and interests at this port. We understand that one result of his visit will be to devote more attention to the groups of islands lying west and south of us, and which come within his field of inspection. This includes from the North and South American shores as far us Australia in the south-west and the Micronesian groups and Ladrones in the west, in short the whole of what is termed Oceanica,—a portion of the Pacific seldom visited by war vessels of any nation. The recent outrages committed by natives of various groups, as well as the revival of thecoolie or slave trade in this ocean, has decided the Admiral, with the sanction of his Government, to station a ship here, which shall be held in readiness to visit any groups west or south of us, wherever her presence may be demanded. For this service the United States ship (Jssi/m, Commodore Taylor commanding, will be detailed, andarrive here in the spring. The Commodore, who ranks next to the Admiral, will be entrusted with affairs in the central Pacific. The plan is most certainly a judicious one, and must tend to inspire greater respect for the American flag among the savage tribes which will be visited by this and other naval ships.— Advertiser.

Frank Thompson : We liiul a very delightful gathering on Christmas and New Year ; ths foreign church was tastefully decorated by the skill of some of the young people. wag A Christmas service, held in the foreign church, very largely attended ; the eyes of all were feasted by the artistic arrangement of evergreens and flnwers ; the music and singing were excellent. Our new cabinet organ, the gift of friends at home, is a very sweet toned instrument, and just what we want in our church ; and the fair organist understands how to present it, in its most acceptable strains. Several short addresses made by the brethren were much appreciated. But Mr. W. H. Reed elicited the I most applause, when he rose nnd remarked : have but few words to say, and wish to reverse the so far have been order of things. All the speeches addressed to the audience, I wish to address a few words to our pastor." So saying, he faced about, and in a few, but appropriate words, presented him, on behalf of the people, with $f>2o, as a Christmas gift. This present was contained in a handsomely wrought silk purse, bearing the pastor's initials on one end, and the year 1869 on the other, handsomely executed by the hands of one of the ladies. Tho church have raised their pastor's salary to $1400 a year ; and there have been collected over $800 in addition for charitable objects, during the past year. The Hiloites believe in the grace of giving. When it is stated that there are but 18 members in the church, you will see that the congregation must have put their hands to this work in an unusual degree. The pews, 22 in number, rented this year for $1500, 17 of them only being rented. They are, however, all fully occupied on the Sabbath. The services on New Year were held in Bey. Mr. Coon's church, and were very enjoyable. Addresses were made by several gentlemen, among whom was the Bey. Chas. Hervey, sn English clergyman, who has endeared himself to our people very muoh, by his simplicity of manners, and earnestness of heart ; he conducted the services of the church of F.ngtand, 9 of nual report, showing a small balance of $18 due on Home account, which debt was promptly canceled by the Trustees present.

The Sabbath at Hour—for Out of the large number of monthlies claiming the attention of the reading public, we know of none so well adapted for the instruction and entertainment of a family as this magazine, which now enters on its fourth year. Every number is illustrated with many pleasing and instructive engravings. The typography is all that could be desired. The reading matter, contributed by writers of rare ability and eminence, is genial and great spicy, but not frivolous.. There is a ot sketches narratives, poetry, of variety sciin lessons stories, easy and travel, short do not ence. We imagine the little folks but their themselves, to have all the reading elders must claim a perusal too. me American Tract Society never did abetter thing than set afloat so choice a periodical. in the idea of the vast change which has come over the community during the last thirty <>r forty years. The habits of the people have entirely changed. Railroad travel has created a vast social as well as commercial revoliltion. Multitudes travel from the Kasi to the West, the North to the South, who would never have thought of going but a few miles from home, unless it could be done by railroad conveyance. The extremes of the country are thus brought together. The effect will be good upon society. But the amount of business done upon the railroads is perfectly incredible to those who have not examined the subject. Long trains of freight cars are seen passing and repassing continually. Soon the people of New England will be luxuriating upon the grapes and other fruits of California. What is most surprising, all this momentous change has been brought about during the last forty years—a very short period, comparatively, in the nation's and the world's history. Our readers will peruse with interest the following paragraphs relating to the progress of railroads. They are copied from a late number of "Appleton's Journal." The success of railway locomotion, however, dates from the Liverpool experiments in October, 1829. The favorite plan for drawing trains was by stationary engines, and it was proposed to divide the railway between Liverpool and Manchester into nineteen stages, of about a mile and a half each, with twenty-one engines, fixed at the different points, to work the trains forward. Not professional man of eminence could be found who preferred the locomotive over a single �I HE FRIEND, I i: HI. I \I. 10 fixed-engine power. .. 1870. George Stephenson, and spacious, churches of great architectural beauty and finish are in process of erection, while private residences are going up in all parts of the newly made grounds and the surrounding villages. It is estimated that at least 40,000 of the merchants, professional men and laborers leave the city every night nnd return in the morning. This fact is working a vast revolution in the society and business community of Boston. The older portions of the city are becoming more and more devoted to stores and large storq-houses, while the inhabitants are literally compelled to seek residences in the surrounding country. The influence of this migration upon the churches is most perceptible. Those in the suburbs are thereby becoming large and however, strongly advocated the locomotive system, and it was at length decided to make a trial of it. A prize of twenty-five hundred dollars was offered for a locomotive, weighing no more than six tons, which would draw twenty tons ten miles an hour with but fifty pounds per inch pressure of stenm, and costing but two thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. The project and the conditions were thought to be preposterous. An eminent gentleman of Liverpool, afterward inspector of steam-packets, said that only a parcel of charlatans would ever have issued such it set of conditions ; that it had been proved to be impossible to make a locomotive engine go at ten miles an hour; but, if it ever was done, lie would undertake to eat a stewed engine-wheel for his breakfast! Four engines were entered for the trial The favorite was Captain Ericsson's " Novelty," which was light and compact in appearance, and had this intelligible quality about it, that the air was forced through the fire by means of bellows. The successful engine was the " Rocket" of George Stephenson. At the first trial it ran twelve miles in fifty-three minutes ; at the final test it drew its load at the rate of twenty-nine miles an hour, and, when running alone, it reached thirty-live miles an hour. Mr. Smiles says that " the entire performance excited the greatest astonishment among the assembled spectators; the directors felt confident that their enterprise was now on the eve of success ; and Gcoree Stephenson rejoiced to think that, in spite of all false prophets and fickle counsellors, the locomotive system was now safe. When the Rocket, having performed all the conditions of the contest, arrived at the ' grand stand ' at the close of the day's successful run, Mr. Cropper—one of the directors favorable to the fixed-engine system—lifted up his hands and exclaimed, ' Now has George Stephenson at last delivered himself!' " The Rocket was at length replaced by heavier engines, and was sold in 1837, and used for four or five years to haul coals. There was, however, wonderful vitality in it, and on one occasion, when employed to transmit the results of an election, it ran upward of four miles in four minutes and a half. It is now in the Kensington Museum of London. BOSTON AND SUBURBS. After an absence of seventeen years, it is pleasant to revisit the far-famed Athens of America, or the " Hub of the Universe." Boston people are rather proud ofthese soubriquets. These are indicative of her importance and comparative standing among tbe cities of the world. Boston is a growing city. At present the desire appears to be to embrace all the surrounding suburbs under the one city charter. When this is accomplished, and Charlestown, Jamaica Plains, Cambridge, Newton and other towns are annexed, Boston will have become no mean city in territorial dimensions and the number of its inhabitants. While it is thus growing in size, it is also improving in appearance. The streets are now being widened, public edifices are becoming more elegant important, the same as are the churches of Brooklyn, which are mostly composed of persons doing business in New York city. It is not uncommon for merchants to visit Boston and New York during the business part of ihe day, and return to their families living twenty, thirty and even filty miles away. This fact suggests a reference to the railroads, which are now becoming so important an element in American life and business. Everybody travels by railroads. The cars are always crowded. Considering the vast number traveling, the accidents are very few. If there is a propriety in calling Boston the " Hub," then should railroads be styled the spokes. They radiate in every direction. To the beholder, on the State House or the summit of Bunker Hill Monument, at all hours, may be seen long railroad trains going out and returning, while the beautiful harbor is alive with shipping. We wonder writers have not more frequently described the beauty of the harbor of Boston, dotted with small islands, and surrounded with growing villages and towns. Last Monday morning, while viewing Boston and suburbs from the summit of Bunker Hill Monument, we really thought that in all our travels, we never had beheld any region more picturesque and beautiful. It was at a season when the country around is clothed in the richest verdure, and the fields are burdened with an overflowing harvest. The busy hum of city life rises on every side—all is animation and labor. Connected with all this stir and bustle there are multitudes of happy homes. We have been spending a day or two at Captain Brewer's delightful residence at Jamaica Plains. This town is one of several—Brookline, Roxbury, Newton, Dedham—all of which are made up of the most charming suburban villas imaginable. A drive among these homes and haunts impresses the mind most agreeably with the thrift, industry, sobriety and intelligence °i the inhabitants. There is an air of refine- ment, culture and cheerfulness which indicate a degree of comfort and luxury, which lias required h period of two hundred years lo bring to the present degree of perfection. The people of Boston and vicinity believe in " granite." Stores, store-houses, public edifices and even private dwellings are built of this solid material, both hewn and rough. All public works requiring durability and strength are invariably constructed of granite. Last evening, returning from a pleasant drive through Brookline, we visited the new reservoirs which are in process of construction at enormous expense. Thousands of laborers have been at work for two or three years upon these public works. When they are finished they will resemble in magnitude the public works of the old Roman world. With the increase of wealthand inhabitant-. the minds ofthe leading and public spirited men in the community are alive to the importance of improving the city in its external appearance. It is gratifying to know that with these indications of growth the interests of education and religion are not neglected. At present much attention is paid to the building of new, elegant and commodious school-houses. Some of the finest buildings in Boston and suburbs are schoolhouses. These are called after public men— Elliot, Prescott, Everett, Lincoln ; but from what we can learn, the minds of the educators of the land are as yet too must asleep to the importance of looking after the physical training of the young. There has doubtless been some improvement since a certain writer in the "Atlantic Monthly " came out with his views on the " Murder of the boocents." The public attention cannot be too much nroused upon this subject. So long as Boston takes the lead in educational matters, and her public men are determined to push forward the subject of primary education, it is of immense importance that correct views shall be put forth upon not only the mental but physical training and education of the young. We have not as yet visited Cambridge and her University, but reserve our visit to tha ancient seat of learning situated among th suburbs of Boston, until professors and stu dents shall return from their summer vaca tion. We anticipate much delight from tha visit. Old Harvard " is the oldest colleg " in America. Its history is peculiar.

Editor's Notes and Reflections while Passing Along through the Old World. Number 1, " I had a dream, which waa not all a dream."—Byron. It Was a youthful dream of ours that we might some time visit the Old World, but the prospect of its realization appeared for a long period quite improbable. Here we are, however, in England, and have passed through the very heart of the country and the centre of London in coming to this place, Buckhurst, near Wokingham, Berks. Before describing this beautiful spot, we shall briefly refer to our journey by sea and land in coming hither: We had an exceedingly pleasant passage on board tho Minnesota to Liverpool. Eleven days were we in crossing the Atlantic, the same we were on our passage from Honolulu to San Francisco. Allowing eight days for railroad travel from San Francisco to New York, just thirty days were occupied on the passage from Honolulu to London. The tide being favorable, our steamer entered one of the commodious and substantial docks of Liverpool on the 7th of November. These docks are truly wonderful, extending for miles along the city frontage, and afford ample room for ships and steamers from all parts of the world. We found the custom house officers remarkably civil, and they allowed our trunks to pass unopened upon our simple assertion that they contained no'articles of merchandise. Soon after landing we found our way to the Washington Hotel, the very name presenting some attractions for us so recently from the land claiming him as the Father of his country. We found the accommodations good, and the house the resort of many Americans. Arriving upon the Sabbath, it was exceedingly pleasant to pass through quiet and orderly streets;—stores all closed, the noise and'din of business hushed, and multitudes apparently going and returning from church. In the evening we attended service at the Congregational Church, where the late Rev. Dr. Raffles officiated for so many years, whose fame is so widely extended among the good of other lands. He died in 1863, having for fifty years preached the gospel in Liverpool. A marble bust of his noble form has been erected in the vestibule of the church. We listened to an excellent sermon, delivered by the Rev. Mr. Pearson, the pres.'ent pastor. Ho. spoke extemporaneously, and conducted the service very much after the style of Congregational worship in the United States. It was the communion season of, the church, and it was exceedingly pleasant for us on first landing in England to mingle with Christians around the Table of our Common Lord and Saviour, and sing with them, let us join our cheerful songs. " Come With angels round the throne," 4c. Having but a single day to spend in Liverpool, we improved it for visiting tho Public Library and the Museum, both of which were free to the public, and well worthy of the attention of a visitor to the city. St. George's Hall we found to be truly a noble structure, and the audience room such as to merit the remark that it was one of the very best and largest in England. We also paid our respects to R. C. Janion, the Hawaiian Consul. On the morning of November 9th we left Liverpool at 7:20 in the rain, and passed through the country at a rapid rate, reaching London a little after 12 o'clock. On our arrival in this great city of three millions, we immediately crossed over the Waterloo Bridge to the railroad station, from which we started for Buckhurst, situated about thirty miles west of the city. Here we received a cordial welcome from our fellow-residents at Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Waterhousp, with whom we had been fellow-travelers; across the American Continent on the Pacific Railroad. We found him living in'quite the style of an English gentleman of'the olden time. The mansion is surrounded by grounds handsomely laid out, with a beautiful lawn stretching out in front, and surrounded by an extensive park, where he is occasionally to be seen with his fowling-piece cautiously pursuing the hare and the pheasant, and frequently rewarded in a manner to rejoice a huntsman's pride. Buckhurst is situated about ten miles from Windsor Castle, and this region we were informed is considered the very garden of England. It is indeed a beautiful spot. OUR FIRST WEEK IN ENGLAND. Caisar'x Camp,—We really commenced our sight-seeing in England at a remarkable spot, where tradition reports Julius Caesar once encamped with his Roman army. It is situated about four or five miles from Buckhurst. We were accompanied thither by Mr. and Mrs. Waterhouse and Judge Austin. We found the line of entrenchment much more clearly defined than we anticipated. The camp must have been a mile in length and a half mile in width, on an uneven ground. At present it is covered with a growth of pines, but there is no difficulty in tracing the outline of the camp. In some places the ditch is fifteen or twenty feet deep. This is only one of the many remains of Roman attempts to conquer England during the century prior to the Christian era. FUNERAL OF THE LATE GEORGE PEAIIODY. We came to London on the morning of the 12th of November to attend the funeral of Mr. Peabody in Westminster Abbey. Perhaps there is no edifice in England which an American desires so much to visit as this ancient Abbey, around which cluster so many historic associations, and where repose so many of England's illustrious dead. It awakened feelings of a peculiar nature, that our first visit to that time-renowned structure should be to pay the last tribute of respect to an American citizen born in our native State. It was difficult to realize the simple fact that the remains of a fellow-citizen from America were to be borne thither with all the solemn pomp and ceremony with which royalty and the Established Church could invest the occasion. Having received complimentary tickets of admission, we were present in season to witness the procession as it entered and passed around the interior of the Abbey. Our readers will have seen full newspaper reports of this day's proceedings long before these paragraphs will have reached Honolulu, hence our notice will be brief. The charts and singing were performed in cathedral style, and all the gorgeous ceremonials were in harmony with the place, the edifice and the occasion. With much solemnity the coffin was lowered inio tho " narrow cell," around" which were gathered many of the nobility of England. We noticed the Prime Minister, Mr. Gladstone, standing beside our American Minister, Mr. Motley. The vast concourse observed the most profound silence, and manifested the deepest interest while the solemn scene was being enacted. On the Sabbath following this funeral ceremony, sermons were preached in many'of the London pulpits, referring to the death of Mr. Peabody. We should have attended at the Abbey, where the Bishop of London preached a sermon with reference to him, had we not seen it announced that the Rev. Newman Hall would preach upon the same theme at St. James' Hall. We availed ourself of the privilege of being present at that place of gathering. The Hall is estimated to hold 3,500, and we can testify that the larse edifice was filled to its utmost capacity. The sermon of Mr. Hall was worthy of the subject and the occasion. In it the preacher sustained his reputation as one of the most eloquent pulpit orators of London. The Queen, the Government and people, of England have appeared to vie with each other in bestowing respect to the memory of Mr. Peabody. His name has become a household word among all classes, both rich and poor. This is the more surprising, as Mr. Peabody was simply an American citizen, without titles, and never having sought political or literary preferment. He is most frequently spoken of as the American philanthropist, a most truly honored title. When his remains shall have been borne across the Atlantic on board a British vessel of war, �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, convoyed by several national American vessels, all will have been done that two great nations could unitedly have done to honor a rich man who gave away his wealth for the benefit of the poor while he was living. VISIT TO THE POET'S CORNER. The most sacred and consecrated spot in Westminster Abbey is that of the " Poet's Comer," where are monuments and inscriptions to the poets of England. A writer in the London Time", giving an account of the funeral of Mr. Pafbody, remarked: "The mourners having withdrawn into the Jerusalem chamber, preparatory to rejoining their carriages, the rest of the congregation were admitted to see the coffin, and the largf crowd dispersed, but very gradually, the Americans present, being apparently anxious to avail themselves of the opportunity to gaze leisurely at the monuments in the nave and the transepts of the Abbey." We were among the Americans referred to in this paragraph, and can truly say our desire was intense to gaze upon the tomb of Shakespeare, Milton, and the other illustrious poets, whose writings have become the common inheritance of all English speaking and reading Anglo-Saxons throughout the world. We shall not soon forget the kind attentions of Mr. H. I. Cutmur, of the Morning Pout, through whose kindly offices we gained admittance to the " Poet's Corner," even after the janitor had locked the door. Although our time was limited, yet we had a good opportunity for reading many of the inscriptions, and, if possible, we hope to revisit this spot before finally quitting the shores of England, when we shall furnish our readers with a more detailed account. REMARKABLE CHURCHES AND HISTORICAL PLACES OF LONDON. Perhaps there is no city in the w;orld where an American finds more to interest him than in this great metropolis. Already have we visited St. Paul's, the glory of England, as St. Peter's is the glory of Rome. The dome of St. Paul's is truly magnificent. We hope to find timefor a visit to the church of Henry Vllth, reported to be the finest specimen of church architecture in England. While some churches- are thus renowned, others certainly are far behind what we had expected. The Rev. Dr. Cummings, in " Crown Court," preaches in a church edifice which needs a most thorough rebuilding. The seats are most uncomfortable; backs without any inclination, pews narrow, and aisles most inconvenient. Surely a preacher of such celebrity deserves a better building when he preaches to one of the most intelli-1 gent and aristocratic audiences gathered in London. The Tower and the British Museum are places where the visitor may spend days, 13 1870. weeks and months studying the history of England and the world. Only think of being conducted over the Tower by a guide dressed in the style of a man of Henry Vlllth'stime, and of visiting the room where Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned ! seeing the mailclad armor worn by the warriors of successive reigns of the kings of England five hundred years ago ! gazing upon the crown jewels of the British Empire ! taking in your hand the thumb-screws which caused some poor prisoner to cry out in the anguish of his soul! laying your head upon the block where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded ! and of wandering through a tower built by William the Conqueror in the eleventh century, or eight hundred years ago. The British Museum is the place of all others in London for the man of science, literature and history. "Of books there is no end ; of specimens of natural history there is enough, one would suppose, to satisfy an Agassiz. Of autographs, some remarkable specimens, including those of Shakespeare, Milton, Pope, Byron, and all the kings and queens of England for a thousand years. Then, too, there is the original copy of the Masriia Charta. There we saw Milton's watch, whose dial he watched while he wrote of the Fall of Angels, before all time ! The collection of Egyptian relics and curiosities is very remarkable. That of Grecian and Roman equally so, but those of Nineveh, collected by Layard, surpass all. We have read his books, and heard much about the discoveries of Nineveh, but in the language of the Queen of Sheba, we must exclaim, "the half was not told me." " Heroic Consuls. The following interesting and exciting narrative is extracted from the Jamaica tiiiardian, to which it was furnished by a correspondent who recently escaped from Santiago dc Cuba, where he was persecuted by the Spanish volunteers in consequence of being suspected as " a Cuban sympathizer." Mr. Ramsden, the Consul, being wellknown and greatly respected in Kingston, the subject has been one of general conversation, while his heroic conduct has called forth expressions of universal admiration. The narrative runs thus: A poor unfortunate seaman had been apprehended on a charge of being implicated in n filibustering expedition, and he was thrust in;o prison, and afterwards condemned to be shot, on evidence as unlikely and improbable as any one could conceive. He was an American, tbe son of English parents, and notwithstanding the strenuous efforts on the part of the English and American Consuls, the Spanish authorities seemed determined to sacrifice this poor man's life. On the morning appointed for his execution he was marched out to the usual place, amidst a great show of bloody solemnity. He was immediately followed by Mr. Ramsden, Brit- ish Vice Consul, and the American Vice Consul, to make a still further protest in the prisoner's favor. Mr. Ramsden read the document, protesting in the name of England and America, declaring that the prisoner was altogether innocent of the charge which had been laid against him, demanding his immediate release, and declaring if the unfortunate man s life was taken, those who took it would be guilty of murder, and would be alike answerable to the governments of England and the United States of America. During tho reading of this document, which was done with calmness and determination, the prisoner fainted from excitement, nnd there were strong signs of impatience on the part of the Spanish troops, who manifested a thorough determination to force the authorities to take this man's life in spite of all remonstrance. A consultation followed, and Mr. Ramsden and the American Consul were eventually informed that their remonstrance came too late; the prisoner had already been sentenced to death for having taken up arms against Spain, and that the sentence must be carried into effect. With this the order was given to the firing party to " present." It was the work of an instant, and Mr. Consul Ramsden and the American Consul, rushing with the. flags of their respective nations before the leveled rifles of the Spanish troops, and in front of the unfortunate man, shouted "Hold!" And, throwing the English flag around himself and the prisoner, and addressing the officer in charge of the firing party, said, " Gentlemen, as a Consul of Her Britannic Majesty, I can not stand silently by nnd see this foul murder of an innocent man. It is my duty to protect his life, and if you lake his, you must take it through these ! placing himself immediately in front of the condemned seaman, his eyes sparkling, while his manly form heaved with the indignation his speech had so heroically expressed. The American Consul, wrapped in the and Stripes " of the Union, stood Stars " abreast, and for some moments the Spaniards stobd aghast, the conduct of these two Consuls being more than they could comprehend. The emotion of the prisoner was extreme ; he was supported, right and left, by the Consuls, and the poor fellow shed a profusion of tears from weariness and excitement. A consultation was again held, and the prisoner marched back to jail under an escort of troops, the Consuls supporting the unfortunate man all the way along. The furore was beyond description. After dark the prisoner was reprieved, and finally shipped off the country through the indefatigable exertions of the Consuls. London Jit raid. "— — Richard Weaver ofLondon, thefamous lay preacher to the poor, is becoming almost ■as famous in England as Whitfield was a 130 years ago. He lately made a preaching tour in the country, and preached, among other places, at Ascot, where people came from all the surrounding country to hear him, some coming 16 and 20 miles. " The whole congregation listened with great attention, many standing with streaming eyes, as he spoke of what he himself had witnessed of the power of the Gospel." Invitations crowded upon him far beyond his power to accept. �, rII X Fll E N 14 The Good Warfare. Kelectul. 1), FEBRUARY, Ibl 0. LCabin ocker. And there is much to encourage and aniBoy's him.

Christians resemble the followers of Gideon, and subduers of the Amalekites—faint, yet pursuing.—Judges 7:4. Yes, while engaged in the good fight of afaith, they may be faint. We need not wonder at this, if we consider the enemies they have to vanquish—bodily appetites; filthiness of spirit; a depraved nature ; all sin and error ; the present evil world; the devil and his angels. If we also consider the qualities of their adversaries—their number—their malignity—their power—their policy—their success for they have cast down many mighty ; yea, many strong men have been slain by them—oh ! when we think of the heroes, the statesmen, the princes, the philosophers, the divines—and all the myriads they have enslaved and destroyed, who is not ready to tremble, and exclaim, day perish !

We can- : not enter into a truee—no, not even to buy the dead. Let the dead bury their dead. We are to fight on through summer and winter—by day and night—in every situation and condition. He that endureth to the end, the same only shall be saved. In conversion we throw away the scabbard ; in death only we lay down the sword. While we are here, something is still to be done, something still to be avoided—in company— in solitude—in health—in sickness. And is it nothing to watch in nil things ! To pray without ceasing! In everything to give ihnnks ! To be always abounding in the work of the Lord ! There are also occasional difficulties too common to be overlooked ; and it is easy to suppose a few of them. What marvel if the Mildicr is faint, when the road is rough and thorny, and the weather is warm and op- pressive, and he hungers and thirsts for want of seasonable refreshments and supplies, which are interrupted, if not cut off, and he feels a loss of strength, occasioned by a wound from without, or an indisposition from within. Is this talking parables ? There is not a Christian on earth whose religious experience will not easily explain it all. And if this, therefore, be m_f experience, let me remember that there is nothing ominous, nor even peculiar, in it. Every subject of divine grace is well acquainted with this heart's bitterness, and must be, or much of the Scripture could not be applied to him, cilher in a way of description or comfort. And let me be thankful that to will is present with me, though how to perform that which is good I find not. If I faint, I do not Faint, yet pursuing. The life and experience of the Christian are full of contrasts; he resembles the bush of Moses, which was seen burning, but not consumed ; and his language is, Cast down, but not destroyed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as dying, and, behold, we live. We nre now viewing him as a soldier; looked at him faint; but now find him amidst all that is grievous, feeling no disposition to give in,'or give up— yet pursuing. t ' ' other.

FEBRUARY, I 8 .0. 16 Exploring the Ocean Bed. B. C. Gregory, in the absence of Professor Kobinsou, read an elaborate and interesting paper recently before the Society of Practical Engineering, at the Cooper Institute, on anil Dredging," J. A. " Deep Seain Sounding Whitney the Chair. He said the present century has witnessed science advancing with more gigantic strides than at any other period of the world's history. Through the agency of steam the ocean has been made the highway of nations, the land is girt with a network of railroads, and civilization is carried to the ends of the earth. Electricity, though discovered by Thales 600 years before Christ, has only recently been compelled to give forth its power and subtlety for the benefit of man ; but as science is yet ignorant of this agent, it has been unable to apply it to machinery. With geology, zoology and many other sciences deep sen explorations have an intimate connection, as well as upon navigation and submarine telegraphy. The lead and line was the earliest device for deep sea sounding, and it is still In use. The crude* ness of the contrivance has, however, led to the popular error of a " bottomless ocean." and to many mistakes—sometimes fatal ones—in making soundings. The success which has attended the laying of submarine cables has set the erroneous idea of an ocean without bottom at rest fori-ver, and given an impulse to the effort to invent new means of sounding and dredging. The soundings made in the Atlantic show its bottom to be an extensive plateau, varying in depth at different points. The average depth is 15,000 feet, though the steamer ( ydops obtained a depth of 15,000 feet. This ocean floor begins about 150 miles from the Irish coast; the descent from shallow to deep water is very rapid, reaching 10,500 feet in fifty miles, giving an angle of descent greater than that of the Italian Alps. The deepest part of the Atlantic is on the American side, near the banks of Newfoundland, where a great basin exists ranging east and west for nearly a thousand miles, and whose depth is believed to exceed the highest of the Himalaya mountains. It has also been recently proved that a ship can be held in one place and soundings made, even when the weather is comparatively rough. America has been the pioneer in inventing deep sea sounding apparatus, and her inventions are as much used in the British navy as her own. Here the lecturer described the latest instruments that have been invented for deep sea sounding, and after tracing the rise of dredging with Sir John Ross' efforts in Baffin's Bay in 1818, he followed Hoskyn, Berryman and Tayman in their submarine explorations, gave many interesting facts, such as that of the bottom of the ocean teeming with animal life, some of them of a very high type, and concluded by showing what a vast flood of light is thrown upon practical science by deep sea sounding and dredging apparatus.—JVete York Herald. • MARINE JOURNAL.

At the end of ten months there was a church, attended twice on the Sabbath by 850 to 900 people, and on week days by 450 to 500; three Sundayschools, with 200 scholars; one day-school; and four chapels where the Gospel is preached on the Sabbath and week days to nearly 600 people. On a recent Sunday five priests were in the audience of the Madrid church. Captain C. F. Hall, the Arctic explorer, says the goal of his ambition will not have been reached until he has planted his foot on the North Pole. He is now acclimated to Arctic life, and thinks he can live on raw meat and drink oil as long as any- body, and bid defiance to King Cold, as he has notes written with the naked hand when the temperature was seventy degrees below zero!
