As an instance of the force of the currents in Micronesia, we might here state that we have seen a piece of carved wood which was lost at the wreck of the late Morn ing Star, and picked up a month afterwards on the island of Namerick, having been carried during that period a distance of about 310 miles to the eastward, and that too against the trade winds which usually prevail. This happened between 5 ° and 6 ° north latitude ; while south of 3 ° north latitude, the current runs strong (at times) in the opposite direction, as the following fact proves. Some years ago a ship was wrecked on Baker's Island, whose gangway steps were picked up on the island of Apaiang about six weeks after the loss, having drifted nearly 600 miles to the westward. The fact that the English Missionary Society have had vessels wrecked within the past few years among the islands of the South Pacific, is additional testimony in favor of the need of steam power.

The settled principle of the leading of America is this, that the people must be educated, in order to maintain the liberty and privileges of the Republic. Religion and education are corner-stones of the Republic of America. Religion must be supported by the i;o{triit'tn/ efforts of the people, while the State must educate the people, in co-operation with private enterprise. Wherever we travel in the old State of Massachusetts, we find new, commodious and handsome common school houses. The whole people seem to be alive to the subject of education. From the window where we are now sitting in Summer street, Worcester, we hear and see the sound of hundreds of school boys and cirls connected with one of the public schools of the city. It is pleasant lo listen to their morning and evening devotional exercises, but particularly their "songs of praise." people. men last of the mohegans. Fennimore Cooper astonished the literary world some years ago by his historical romance, entitled, the "Lastof the Moheguns." That book has passed into the list of the classical romances of America. It hits been perused extensively not only by English readers throughout the world, but has been translated into most of the modern languages of Europe. The Mohegans of romance may delight by their daring bravery and wonderful powers of Indian endurance, but after all Cooper's work is essentially fictitious, although founded upon the leading facts of history. Only a few rods from the spot where 1 am now writing stands a monument to UnCOS, so famous both in real history and romance. The foundation-stone of the present monument was laid by General Jackson, late President of the United States. On the original monumental slab there was a poetic inscription, concluding thus : ers, who should labor among them. In 1851 we visited the settlement in company with this gentleman, and yesterday, Sept. 26th, that privilege we again enjoyed. The following facts relating to the " Last of the Mohegans " we obtained from the Key. C. F. Muzzy, who is now pastor of the Mohegan Church. The Mohegan land reservation is located about five or six miles south of the city of Norwich, and embraces 2,500 acres. This is held by the United Suites Government, and cannot be alienated without authority from the Government at Washington. In addition, the Government appropriates the sum of $450 for the purpose of providing for the moral and religious instruction of the people. The Rev. Mr. Muzzy was formerly a missionary of the American Board at Madjura, India, but was compelled to return on account of ill health. He appears highly qualified for his present field of labor. The present number connected with the settlement is a little less than one hundred. Only a few are of purely Indian descent. At the Sabbath-school forty-seven were present on the 26th of September, including adults and youth. The church numbers eighteen. The Sabbath-school is under the efficient management of a delegation of young men belonging to the Young Men's Christian Association of Norwich. During our visit we learned that there was living in the settlement a great granddaughter of the Rev. Sansom Occum, whose name has become quite historical in the annals ofthe missionary and religious movements of the last century. He preached not only in America, but quite extensively in England, and once by special invitation before King George Hid. We have somewhere met with the statement that he was the glory ol Moheg.w, " He preached or made over four hundred adWhose death lia* catlHcd great lamentation, Both U, ye Engliidi iiu.l ye Indian nation." dresses in England.

The American people are coming to understand that the people must have days of recreation and festivity, hence every well wisher in the community is solicitous that these seasons of relaxation and recreation from labor and toil shall not be attended with scenes of riot and dissipation. As the closing and remarkable event of the County Fair at Norwich, there was a balloon ascension, which is well described in the following paragraphs from the Norwich Daily Bulletin of September 25th, (and it was our privilege to witness the ascension): " James Allen, the aeronaut, was on hand with his balloon at eleven o'clock, and it was taken to the centre of the ground. Pleasantly remarking that James Allen was no humbug, (which he isn't), at a few minutes liefore twelve he stepped into Ihe car with his son, gracefully bid the crowd adieu, and sailed upward in the Empyrean.' At the altitude of about 1,500 feet he detached a parachute to which was attached a kitten, which found its way to earth just outside the enclosure without injury. The air ship then sailed toward the city, and then meeting a north-easterly current, settled and floated off to the southward and westward. The intrepid navigator discharged some of his ballast, and the balloon again rose and started towards the city, watched by an interested crowd at the grounds until it rose above the clouds and was lost to view. It then slowly descended over the cove, was again lightened, and finally descended on the farm of Peter Laninan at Norwich Town, after a voyage of about an hour and a halt. Daniel S. Guile followed the balloon, and brought it in good order with the aeronaut to this city. W. A. Hurlburt, Thomas Dawson and O. P. WattlesTendered Prof. Allen considerable service in landing. Mr. Allen, who is the same gentleman who made an ascension at a fair of the New London County Society September 30, 1659, has made over two hundred ascensions, having been employed by the United States Government to reconnoitre for the army of the James, and afterwards by the Brazilian Government during the siege of Humaita, Paraguay. He has never met with a serious accident, and is one of the most accomplished aeronauts in the world. His ascension to-day was exceedingly beautiful, and was a treat not only to those on the ground, but to nearly everybody in this vicinity." • Gradual repentance is like a man who taken out of a burning building, but who says to those about him : " Now, don't take me out too suddenly ; take me down first to a room where it is not so hot, and then to another room, where there is still less heat, and so take me out gradually."

O with what wonderful accuracy observations are now taken ! With intense delight we listened to Mr. Stone's explanations of the method employed to note down the passage of a star as it passed the transit instrument. We witnessed the method as three or four of his young assistants observed the sun's passage across the meridian line. Then, too, how wonderful the system of noting down the observations by means of electro-magnetic agency! Mr. Stone referred to his observations and experiments for the purpose of determining whether heat is imparted to our globe from the fixed stars. He expressed the opinion that such was the case. We have seen in some recent scientific publication the same fact stated by some eminent astronomer. The idea at the first glance appears incredible, but yet we are assured that the fact can be demonstrated by actual experiment. This is truly wonderful. We noticed with interest the various methods and contrivances for noting the rapidity with which' wind travels, and also the method of registering thermomctrical and barometrical observations. Electro-magnetism appears to be brought to play an important part in enabling the astronomer and philosopher to carry forward his experiments. Near the door leading into the Observatory is a large magnetic clock, which measures off timewith most wonderful accuracy. With this clock is connected a system of magnetic wires, extending into London, and from thence with all the cities and sea-ports of England and Scotland. Thus the time of England is regulated by the Observatory, on the top of which there is a contrivance by which said magnetic clock elevates a large ball on a pole about ten feet high. This ball is some three feet in diameter, painted black. By means of a galvanic current, this'ball is elevated and let fall at precisely one o'clock each day. We learned that this method was adopted for the purpose of giving information to shipmasters sailing down the Thames on their outward bound voyages. They could thus at the very last moment before leaving the shores of England ascertain Greenwich time. Many puzzle themselves about the origin of moral evil. It is enough for us to know that there is evil, and that there is a wav to escape it. The gospel of Christ makes known that way. There is one single fact which one may oppose to all the wit and argument of infidelity—namely, that no man ever repented being a Christian on his death-bed. Extracts from the Report of Rev. J. F. Pogue, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board of Missions to Micronesia in 1869. It has been my privilege, as well as duty, made so by a vote of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, to visit their Missions in the three groups of islands, viz : the Gilbert, or King's Mill, the Marshall, and the Caroline, of Micronesia. To carry out the designs of the Hawaiian Board, the brig Morning Star, Capt. Tengstrom, left Honolulu on the Bth of July, 1869, having on board the largest reinforcement of Hawaiian missionaries which has been sent to those Missions. Our voyage to the Gilbert Group was a quick and prosperous one. There are 15 islands in this group, 8 of which are north, and 7 south of the line ; supposed to have a population of 30,000. The Hawaiian Board have occupied four of these, with a population, as taken by our missionaries, of 15,000. These are Tapiteuea, or Drummond's Island, en the south of the line ; Tarawa, Apaiang and Butaritari on the north. The first island at which we were to stop was Tapiteuea. We made that place on the 27th of July, 19 days from Honolulu. Here, at the request of the Hawaiian Board, I will intro- duce some extracts from the report of the Rev. H. Bingham. Jr., Delegate of the Hawaiian Board to the Gilbert islands in 1868 : The general meeting of the Gilbert Island "Mission was organized on the 3d of August, 1868. # * * In accordance with the.suggestion of the Hawaiian Board, they decided to take a new station upon Tapiteuea. * * * You will remember the account of our visit at that island last year (1867), and the wide door which we found open to us there. Last year we landed on the north end, and as our time was limited, we only went up the island some two miles. Upon our recent visit we explored some eight miles farther south, and determined to locate the Mission more centrally than could have been possible had we yielded to the earnest wish of the inhabitants of the north end that we should land our missionary brethren and their families with them. * * * The station was located in the newly explored part, though the people at the north felt that they had a special claim, as they had been first asked if they would receive missionaries." Missionary Herald for April, 1869, page 131. On our arrival at Tapiteuea we found the Mission families well, and prosecuting their work with energy and a good degree of success. The island is 30 miles long, and lies in a N. W. and S. E. direction, with 15 large towns, and a population of6,200, as taken by the missionaries, the Rev. Messrs. Kapu and Leleo. There are 12 immense houses on the island, used for general purposes ol consultation, dancing, feasting, &c. These are now used as places of worship. Mr. Bingham says in his report, " There is no one king of the. whole island, but each district seems to be governed by its more important elderly men or land-holders." The people are degraded, debased, shameless. Men, boys and girls go about perfectly naked, while the women wear a pa-u around their loins. Our missionaries had occupied the field 10 — 21 months when we arrived. The people have outwardly forsaken their ancient worship ; abolished their taboos ; given up the hula, a licentious dance, and become teetotalers j the schools are crowded ; the congregations large. On the 13th of September, 1868, a few of the people began to cast away those things which were esteemed sacred. On the 11th of October of the same year Kapu preached on the character of the true God, and of the sin of worshiping other things called gods. At that meeting some old men proposed to cast away these vanities. Many consented to do so ; others opposed. One old man said to Kapu, " The gods will take vengeance on you ; they are angry ; you will die." This man has since cast away the sacred things in which he trusted, and is now numbered with the reformers. Mr. Kapu told them to consider well what they were about to do. If they really thought that these things, in which they had so long trusted, were vanities—powerless to help or punish, then cast them away; but if they still feared them, then continue to do as they had done, and brave the fury of Jehovah, who has said, " Thou shalt have no other gods besides me." During the next week, from the 11th to the 18th of October, 320 of these sacred things, such as stones, branches of trees, besmeared with oil, trees, fish, birds, &c., were destroyed, and the majority of the people became outwardly the worshipers of Jehovah. They deliberately chose Him as their God. One of the things regarded with much superstition was a large mamani tree near to the houses of the Mission. By measure, I found this tree to be 35 feet in circumference at about one foot above the ground. This tree was taboo. No one was permitted to pass or sit under its shade. To it they carried offerings of cocoanuts, fish, hala fruit, Sec. January Ist, 1869, three thousand per- sons, old and young, male and female, met under, around and upon this tree to keep, as the missionary expressed it, their first happy new year. An examination of the schools was held at that time. Sixty persons recited the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, read in the books prepared for them, and sang some of the songs of Zion as translated by Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. This tree has since been given to Mr. Kapu. He has purchased one-half of the land upon which it stand?, and hopes to be able to obtain the other half. Two tours have been made by the missionaries around the island. In these tours they have been followed by multitudes from place to place as they preached the Gospel in all the large towns. One hundred and fifty can read fluently in the Gospels, Acts and Ephesians, besides a great number who can read and spell in the spelling-book. July 30th, 1869, we attended an examination of schools in one of the large council houses. Our hearts went out in thanksgiving to God for what our eyes saw, and ears heard. The pupils of the different school.'-', of which there are three, read very well. 150 men, boys, women and girls recited the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and answered questions from the Catechism. They also sung several hymns. The missionaries, with their patrons, have great reason to thank God for the past, and take courage for time to come. A good beginning has been made.

When thou, haply, seest Some rare, note-worthy object In thy travels i Wish Die partaker In thy happiness.—Shakespeare " MBKTING OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF MISSIONS. Last month (September) it was our privilege to attend the centennial anniversary of the birth of Humboldt. We have already reported for the columns of the Friend au account of that remarkable meeting. Such a large gathering of philosophers, authors, poets, orators and learned men and women is seldom to be witnessed in any part of the world. There was one feature of the celebration which was very peculiar—the Orator of the Day, as well as several other speakers, endeavored to prove that Humboldt was a believer in Divine revelation, or rather that he was not an atheist. Three thousand years ago, the inspired Psalmist observed, " The fool hath said in his hearty there is no God." It was a somewhat remarkable fact that a learned assembly should be called upon to listen to a course of reasoning and argument to prove that the most learned man in natural science of all modern times was not an at/ieist. This fact often comes to mind, and suggests thoughts for serious reflection. A month has passed away, and it has fallen to our lot to attend anotherremarkable gathering. This occurred at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was the Sixtieth Anniversary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. For sixty years these annual meetings have been held in various parts of the country, and never fail to bring together a very large gathering of the friends of Foreign Missions from among both the laity and clergy. The records ofthese meetings will show that some of the most distinguished men, in both Church and State, are present on these occasions. One thing was manifest throughout all the meetings no doubts were entertained by any of the speakers or hearers respecting the exist- �THE 26 KKIKM), IP X I 1.. 1870. ence of God, or the reality of Divine revela- around the table of their Divine Master. tion.

(SeeLuke24:44.) gather from the east and west, north and The Old Testament as distinctly reveals a south, to commemorate a Saviour's love Messiah, or rather the Messiah," remarked " " " " I I " . Mr. Barnes, " is as essentially the grand idea of the Old Testament, as the wrath of Achilles is that of the Iliad, or the anger of Juno that of the „Encad, or the fall of Satan that of Paradise Lost." Most conclusively did the preacher make apparent that Jesu of Nazareth filled out in his life, character and death this grand idea of the Messiah of the Old Testament. This idea included that of a sttffcrina Saviour. He dwelt upon the difficulty of bringing out this peculiarity, but even in this point, our Blessed Saviour failed not to fulfill his all-important mission. Suppose, remarked Mr. Barnes, during a period of a thousand years, the historians, poets, orators and divines of France had predicted that in the eighteenth century there should arise a remarkable personage, who should be born in Corsica, and at length rise to the dignity of Emperor, ruling the destinies of Europe, and should finally die on a small island in the South Atlantic Ocean, how difficult it would have been for Napoleon to have filled up this outline! Yet Christ started in life with the set purpose o filling up the outline of the Messiah as dc picted by the historians, poets and prophets of the Old Testament. He concluded with the offer of salvation as made known by such a Saviour as our Lord Jesus Christ. It was indeed a rare privilege to listen to such a discourse, delivered by one who has written the most popular commentaries on the whole of the New Testament and parts of the Old. The Rev. Mr. Johnson has become Mr. Barnes' successor, and he is well spoken of by the church-going people of Philadelphia. On the afternoon of the same Sabbath, it was our privilege to hear the Rev. Dr. Newton preach to a large congregation of children in the Church of the Epiphany. This is the church formerly presided over by the Rev. Dr. Tyng, and afterwards by his son, whose lamented death, some years ago, caused such a wave of sorrow to pass over the American Zion. He was the author of the saying, " Stand up for Jesus." The Rev. Dr. Newton is regarded as the most successful and popular preacher to children in the United States. His sermons are published in the Sunday School World, issued by the American Sunday School Union. For months he has been addressing the young on ■ the wonders in the Bible ; " but on the occasion when it was our privilege to hear him, he commenced a series of monthly sermons to children on the won" He seders of God outside of the Bible." lected for his text the words of David, "All thy works praise thee." In order to illustrate the truth, Dr. Newton exhibited an instrument showing the revolutions of the different bodies belonging to the solar system, and even held up a music box," the spring " �TH of which was broken. This was something we never expected to witness in an Episcopal church on a Sunday afternoon. But wherein was the harm of so doing, provided the truth was thereby impressed upon the minds of the young! During the evening of the same Sabbath, we were present at an interesting meeting held at the new Eastburn Seamen's Chapel. Just fifty years ago—17th ot October, 1819— the Rev. Mr. Eastburn preached his first sermon to seamen in Philadelphia. For many years he continued his useful labors among them, and when he died, left several thousand dollars as a fund for the support of preaching among the seafaring community. The friends of seamen have just erected a newchapel and lecture-room,costing $32,000, and only some three thousand dollars remain unpaid. This chapel is under the patronage of the Presbyterians. The Baptists and Methodists have also seamen's chapels in the city. The Rev. Dr. Emerson was installed Chaplain and Pastor on this evening. It fell to our lot to give the " charge to the people. Although called upon quite unexpectedly to address the audience, yet we were much assisted in " charging " the people of that congregation from our recollection of the manner in which the Bethel Church and congregation of Honolulu have been accustomed to assist their Chaplain and Pastor. During our sojourn in Philadelphia we enjoyed the hospitality of Mr. C. Burnham, who formerly resided at the Hawaiian Islands. Foreign residents, twenty-five years ago, will remember him as the manager of the Koloa Plantation. He retains the most pleasing recollections of his residence on Oahu, Kauai and Maui. This same fact we have found true with regard to former residents on the islands, in whatever part of the country we have fallen in with them. Wherever we travel we meet those who are in some way interested in the islands. Some have resided there, and inquire for their old friends and neighbors, while others who have never visited the islands, still have friends living there. Many are the links of that chain binding the Hawaiian islands to the United States. During our stay in Philadelphia we visited League Island, the site of the new Navy Yard. It is situated at the point where the rivers Delaware and Schuylkill unite their waters. There we found quietly moored eighteen of the fifty monitors and vessels of war forming the iron-clad fleet of the United States. Among them was the famous Puritan, in an unfinished condition, but which when completed, will form oue of the most formidable war ships in the world. It was our privilege also to visit the new Fairmount Park, which is destined to become I " _ 27 FRIEND. APRIL, 1870. one of the most beautiful pleasure grounds in America. It contains two thousand acres of land, well diversified by hill and vale, woodland and lawn, besides having this additional charm—the Schuylkill meandering through it. Bostonians may be justly proud of the suburbs of their city, including Roxbury, Brooklync, Newton, and many other beautiful towns ; New Yorkers may be proud of Central Park, with its enchanting vistas, avenues, glens, ponds, cascades, grottoes, and all the appliances which wealth can call into existence, when expended by the artist and gardener; but the Philadelphians will have Fairmount Park, which will fully equal anything in America, because nature and art are so wonderfully combined. It seems fitting that this city should have such an outlet for its densely peopled streets, where the inhabitants may go forth and enjoy the country. This city is admirably supplied with institutions, where the blind, sick and unfortunate are amply provided for. Its public libraries arc capacious. Here, too, is the oldest mint of the United States. The collection of coins on exhibition in this establishment is probably more extensive than anywhere else on the American Continent. There we saw specimens of coins of all nations, both ancient and modern. Among them were some as old as the days of Alexander the Great, and numerous belonging to the Roman Empire, prior to the Christian Era ; but not one among the hundreds of gold and silver pieces which we there beheld was comparable in interest with the old Hebrew cein, similar to that which the poor widow cast in the treasury of the Lord. Yes, there was the widow's " two mites," which make a farthing ! We must not omit to mention the fact that we heard Miss Anna E. Dickinson deliver her famous lecture, entitled, " Whited Sepulchres," wherein she gave an account of her visit to Salt Lake, and her impressions of the abominable system of polygamy as practiced by the Mormons. She spoke in the Academy of Music, addressing an audience of nearly 3,000. Her lecture was the first of the " star course," for the season. She is to be followed by Senator Sumner, " Mark Twain," and other noted lecturers. That of " Mark Twain's " will be upon Hawaii and Hawaiians. Having heard and read so much respecting Miss Dickinson as a lecturer and speaker, we felt very desirous of hearing her on this occasion. She is the first female orator we have ever heard. The secret of her power over an audience appears to consist in her sympathy and approval of but few in the large audience, still for one hour and a half she held that assembly spell-bound by her fascinating eloquence. As a speaker, she possesses rare gifts, else how could she attract such crowds wherever and whenever it is announced that she will speak? Philadelphia is her native city. She was reared among the Society of Friends, and hence perhaps inherited the gift of public speaking. She belongs to that party in America which advocates the idea that woman is held in vassalage, and should be elevated and have the same rights secured to her which are now acknowledged as belonging to the male sex. Public sentiment appears to be drifting in that direction, but we are not inclined to think that woman's lot will be improved by the " ballot," or by placing her in the front of the battle of life. We think that she has a higher, nobler and holier mission, and that mission will be best accomplished by avoiding rather than claiming the ballot, the pwlpit, the rostrum, and other places and positions now occupied by the stronger sex. If woman would conquer the world, let her she will succeed, " stoop to conquer," and but if she demands the conquest, we fear she will not accomplish it. One other pleasure was afforded us in the wav of listening to an admirable discourse while in Philadelphia, and that was to hear a Wednesday evening lecture from the Rev. Dr. Wadsworth, formerly of San Francisco, but now to become the Pastor of a Dutch Reformed Church in this cify. His subject was God's care for his people," as set forth in the 23d Psalm, commencing, " Lur.l is my Shepherd ; " The Ac. shall 1 not waul," His exposition of this Psalm was most felicitous and charming. We do not wonder the people of San Francisco are anxious to retain him as Pastor of Calvary Church. We might refer to many more incidents connected with our stay in this city, but we fear we may have already wearied our readers.

Mv Dear Friend * * *: I am few because paragraphs, to write a going you I have thought of you more frequently today, and during the last few days, than of almost any other person in Honolulu. For three days I have been viewing the scenes and wandering among the ruins of Athens. Knowing your predilection for Greek literature and antiquities, I have thought of the delight you would have taken in visiting with us the Parthenon, the Pnyx, Mars' Hill, the Stadium, and many other well known localities in and about Athens. To-day we have visited Eleusis, and seen the mount styled the " throne of Xerxes," where he sat when he overlooked the naval battle of Salamis. We have enjoyed these rambles, beyond what words can describe. In our walks we have sometimes been accompanied by Prof. Friederichs, "Director of Antiquities and Curator of the Museum of Berlin," in Germany. He has made Grecian and Roman antiquities a speciality. He is now traveling through the Orient for the purpose of procuringrelics and curiosities for the museum. His remarks are more instructive than any guide-book. He is very modest and yet very learned, but never afraid to say, " I don't know." He accompanied us, or rather we accompanied him, during an afternoon's walk to the summit of the Acropolis. It was a most beautiful day. The sky was not overcast by a single cloud. The weather was mild and the air balmy, yet not enervating, very much resembling some of our agreeable and pleasant days at the islands. On our walk to the Acropolis, we passed by the Temple of Jupiter Olympus, and under the Arch of Hadrian. Before ascending the " rock," we lingered a little time in the theatre of Bacchus, where excavations have been made by the Prussian Government, and where the marble seats of the old theatre are now fully discovered, and on many of them the names are inscribed in Greek, which were readily interpreted. From thence we passed the Roman theatre, erected by Hadrian, I believe. The front still remains. It is in the style of Roman, not Grecian architecture. From that we ascended the Acropolis. You know better than I do the history of the renowned buildings and temples which crown that famous hill. Ere we entered the noble and spacious gateway, we turned to view the surrounding region and objects of interest. Only a few steps to the right, thtre was the Areopagus, or Mars' * r, r It I r. > II , i I It I I. . O<W. Hill, where Paul preached; directly in front, but a little farther off, was the Pnyx and the Bema, where Demosthenes "thundered" and uttered his Philippics; beyond the Areopagus stood the Temple of Theseus, in nearly a perfect state of preservation ; while still farther in the distance were the famous olive groves, where Plato and Socrates and other Grecian philosophers walked and discoursed. I must not dwell upon these details, but hasten with you, while you, in imagination, accompany us to the glorious summit of the Acropolis, where still remain, although in ruins, the Parthenon, the temple of the Ereckthmm , and those beautiful female figures, the Caryatids*. There we sat down and viewed these wonderful specimens of Grecian architecture and sculpture. Then, too, to have the view accompanied by the nice and discriminating remarks of Prof. Friederichs ! Oh, it was such a " feast of reason " as it has seldom been my privilege to enjoy. How shall I describe in fitting language the panoramic view from the Acropolis! The sea view was beautiful. In the distance was Mount Pentelicus, from whence came the marble for the temples at Eleusis and Athens. The Ilissus (a very small stream indeed) flowed near the city, while far away were the mountains of Hymettus, whence came the honey so renowned. But why do I describe these temples and localities to you, who are so well acquainted with the literature of Greece, and know so well the history of each hill, mountain, stream and valley of Greece? Well, you have rettd about them, but I have Mm them, and the impressions made to-day will never be effaced from my mind. On descending the mount, we passed on- ward to Mars' Hill. There Judge Austin read in our hearing the Apostle Paul's discourse recorded in the 17th chapter of the Book of Acts. It requires no stretch of the imagination to think of the noble Apostle pointing to the Acropolis, when he uttered the words, " Forasmuch then, as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or atone, graven by art and man's device." From the Areopagus we passed over to the Bema, and stood where Demosthenes once stood, where Pericles stood, where Themistocles stood, where Aristides stood ! Was not that a privilege ! As the twilight was approaching, we were compelled to hasten our return to our hotel, but still we found time to view the Temple of Theseus. Enough, you will say, for one day ! Yet during our sojourn in Athens, we made many such rambles. Sunrise on the morning of the 11th found us on the summit of Lycabettus, or Mount St. George, which even overlooks the Acropolis, and all the surrounding country. The view must be seen to be appreciated, for my poor description will not do justice to the scene. Should I be spared to return to Honolulu, 1 shall hope to have many pleasant chats with you respecting these classic lands. I will merely give you an outline of our journey after leaving Paris. We passed through Northern Italy, and along the shores of the Adriatic to Brindisi; crossed over to Alexandria, and up to Cairo, where we spent a week; then we steamed down the Suez Canal to Port Said. There we embarked on board a Russian steamer for Jaffa (or Joppa.) We hurried off to Jerusalem, where we spent nearly four days, and then returned to Jaffa and spent the Sabbath. On Monday morning we embarked on board an Austrian steamer, which passing along the shores of the Mediterranean, and occasionally touching, afforded us the unexpected yet exquisite delight of spending a day among the American missionaries at Beyrout, a day on the Isle of Cyprus, an hour at the Island of Rhodes, a day at Smyrna, a day at Syros, and so on we steamed away, until we landed at the Peiraeus, and rode up to Athens, where wo spent three days, briefly described in this To-morrow we return to the Peiraeus, (o embark for Messina, Sicily, thence we hope to proceed to Naples, Pompeii, Rome, Florence, Paris, London. When I arrive in England I will finish my letter. Having thought of you so often, I felt that I must write you from this renowned city. Oh, the panoramic view of the surrounding region from the Acropolis is magnificent ! Athens is a beautiful city. To-day is the last day of 1869, according to the Greek style of reckoning, or old style. The gay and light-hearted Athenians have filled the streets ; ladies and gentlemen have lined the side-walks, and children are running about with toys and presents. It has been inspiring to walk through the streets. Think of the signs on stores and shops in Greek characters ! Buckhurst, near Wokingham, England, • January 31st, 1870. Agreeable to my intimation in the fore going letter, dated in Athens about three weeks ago, I will now briefly sketch my re turn to England. We embarked on board French steamer Friday morning, Januar 14th,for Messina, Sicily. We steamed alon the eastern shores of Greece, and during th night passed around the Morea. The follow ing morning found us encountering a win< styled in Acts 27:14 " Euroclydon." The commander of the steamer not deeming it safe to proceed, put back to the Bay of Navarino, where, you remember, occurred the famous naval engagement which secured the independence of modern Greece, when the �29 THE FRIEND. APRIL, 1870. combined fleets of Russia and England almost annihilated the Turkish navy in 1527, if I remember aright. The following morning we were allowed to proceed on our voyage, reaching Messina Monday morning, but a January 17th. There we remained few hours, and then embarked for Naples, passing between Sylla and Charybdis, so famous in the poems of Homer and Virgil, incidit in Scyßom, gui vult vitare Charybdiiu. Escaping both, we safely passed on 'our course, and although retarded somewhat by bad weather, reached Naples. After viewing the remarkable sights of that city, and especially the museum, which contains so many Pompeian curiosities, we visited Pompeii itself. Surely this city, now being exhibited to the astonished gaze of the eager sight-seeing tourist, presents one of the most remarkable spectacles anywhere to be seen on our globe. You are familiar wiih the descriptions of scholars and tourists, but it must be seen to be appreciated. There you may see the old Roman as he was 1800 years ago. We walked through the now silent streets of the once busy Pompeii. We however, that although you have never visited those old Grecian and Roman lands, yet you are able to inspire your pupils with so much enthusiasm for classical learning. On my return to Buckhurst 1 found a letter from one of your late pupils, who employs this expression " The studies are very delightful. I am so enjoying the music of the ■ Odes of Horace,' in which the fragrance lingers through all the years." Here I am again in Old England, having been absent from London just eight weeks to a day, and can appreciate a few days of rest, which I am now enjoying at Buckhurst Park, the beautiful residence of our fellow townsman, J. T. Waterhouse, Esq. Never could a weary tourist have found a more delightful retreat wherein to arrange his hasty memoranda and rest his wearied mind and : body. You may ask, " When do I expect to return ? " I can only say that on the first day of January, at early dawn, I passed out of the " Jaffa Gate " of Jerusalem, intending to follow "the Star of Empire" westward until I reach Honolulu, making only an occasional Yours truly, call on my way.

I can readily imagine how you, much are than myself, would have enjoyed and appreciated those classic scenes. I rejoice, fen lequately Pogue, Delegate of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions to Micronesia in 1869. [Continued from our last.) Marshall Islands. estimated population of these islands The is 20,000. The islands are low—some ten or twenty feet above the level of the ocean. In this respect they are similar to the Gilbert Islands. There is, however, much more vegetation on the Marshall than on the Gilbert Group. At Ebon and Namarick we found abundance of breadfruit, which we did not find at Taptteuea, Tarawa or A paiang. The Hawaiian Board of Missions have five missionaries with their wives in this field, assisted by two native Marshall islanders, the Rev. B. G. Snow having the oversight of the whole field. Five islands are occupied by these, two of which are new stations, taken this year (1869.) There are two churches with 115 members, and eight or nine schools, with as many teachers. The people are not so degraded, debased and shameless as those of the Gilbert Group. As a general thing they wear more clothes, if that which they use to cover their nakedness can be called clothes. They are very skillful in making and navigating their canoes, some of which are quite large. Ebon. This was the first island of the Marshall Group at which we anchored. It has a population of 868, being an increase of 218 in six years. A church was formed on this island some years ago by the Rev. Mr. Doane, which now numbers 91 members. Five schools are in existence, taught by six Ebon teachers. Things are prosperous here, though the high chief, who is sometimes called king, is a blood-thirsty savage. A few months before we arrived at Ebon on our return from Ponape, this man speared one of his two wives to death, then threw her corpse into the lagoon, where it floated about for a day and part of two nights, after which at the remonstrance of two foreigners, oil traders, she was buried. These two foreigners, Mr. Snow hopes, have become the servants of Jehovah. One is a Scotchman, son of a Presbyterian minister, an educated man, who has seen much of the workings of the English missionaries in the South Pacific. He speaks well of their labors, and of what they have accomplished. The influence of these two men is now exerted on the side of morality and religion. lam told they are only too anxious to help the Hawaiian missionaries in anyway that they can. The members of the church appeared well, and can read in the books prepared for them. All join in singing at family and public worship. The church here is a large, well built, substantial building 60x30, and 12 ieet high, the frame of which may stand for many years, and must have cost the missionaries and people much labor. My impression is, there is not an iron nail or bolt in the whole building. I attended a prayer-meeting in it, where fifty persons came together to unite their hearts in prayer to Jehovah. The people present appeared well. An examination of the schools was also held in this building, some two hundred pupils being present, who were examined in reading, writing, geography and arithmetic. These did not appear so well as I suppose they would have done, from what I had heard of the schools in this group. The only Sabbath spent with the people of this island was a delightful one. Two hundred or more came together and were addressed in the morning by the Rev. A. A. Sturges, of Ponape; the Captain of the ]ate Morning Star spoke to the Sabbath school scholars, and your delegate addressed the congregation in the afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Aea interpreting. The people gave good attention to what was said. We hope impressions may have been made which may result in the salvation of some souls. Taking Mr. Snow on board the Morning Star, we set sail for Namarick. This is a small but rich island, covered with cocoanut trees; has a population of 391, with a church of 25 members, three schools, with three teachers and three assistant teach- �30 THE FRIEND, APRIL, I 870. they do not all attend at one time, but are all known as pupils of the schools. The people of this small island have contributed the past year 315 gallons of cocoanut oil for monthly concerts, and have paid for books which they have purchased from the missionary 267 gallons of oil, and $7 25 in cash. Did the churches of Hawaii or the United States do half as much in proportion to their means, there would be no lack of funds to carry the gospel to China and the world. There is a large number of persons on this island who are numbered among those who arc inquirers after the way of salvation ; God appears to be blessing the labors of His servant; the people appear well; the missionary hopeful, though his wife is feeble, and needs rest. It was our intention to bring her to the Hawaiian Islands for this purpose, but the loss of our vessel frustrated this, as well as other designs which we had proposed. This group of islands is now well manned by Hawaiian missionaries, and with the blessing of God upon their labors, we may hope to reap much fruit to the glory of Him at whose command our brethren dwell among that degraded, wicked people. Having finished our work at the Marshall Group, we sailed for the Caroline Islands. The Hawaiian Board have missionaries •on only two of these islands, viz: Strong's Island and Ponape, or Ascension. Strong’s Island. This name, of course, is not known by the inhabitants of this island. They call the two islands, which are known to foreigners by the name Strong's Island, Kutaie. The largest of these is Ualan, and the smallest is Lela ; both together are called jKimaie. This is a high island, and it was pleasant to feast the eyes on its peaks, ridges and valleys after having voyaged for so long a time among the low islands. " The gem of the Pacific," it is called by some, and is so in more senses than one. Its scenery is picturesque and beautiful, but the moral state of the inhabitants is much more to be admired. The population of this " gem " is 600, with no white man ; one church of 159 members, with a Strong's Island man for its pastor; four church buildings—three of stone, and one built in the style of building houses on the island. The people can all read, and join in singing the songs of Zion. As we landed at the wharf near Mr. Snow's house on Dove Island, we were greeted by the " good morning " of many who had come together to welcome their missionary on his return to visit them for a short time before his final departure for the fatherland. It was delightful to sec old and young—men and women, boys and girls—coming around, and taking him by the hand, greet him with kind salutations. As I have seen loving children flock around a father beloved returning to his home after a long absence, thus did this people gather around our brother, whom they regnrd as their spiritual father. They seemed more like Hawaiians than any with whom I came in contact in Micronesia. They were for the most part dressed in foreign clothes. I was struck with the mild, quiet, loving countenances of many of them. They looked as if they were brimful of happiness. What were these people 18 years ago? Naked, degraded, sensual, smokers of tobacco, and drinkers of awa; superstitious, ignorant of books and the true God. How changed! Now they are clothed, and in their right minds—can read the Bible—sing the songs of Zion—have a Sabbath—worship the true God, and show by their lives the truth of the religion which they profess with their lips. To God be all the praise ; man alone could never have effected such a change. It was on the south side of this island that the Morning Star was wrecked on her return voyage from Ponape. After spending a week with the people of Strong's Island, we embarked with cheerful hearts on board our ocean home " on the 18th of October, 1869. That night she lay a wreck upon the rocks. The Morning Star had set in gloom; her work was done. How short her race! Why has this calamity been permitted ? Why our prospects blasted of carrying the gospel to those who know not God, and are without hope in the world ? How many hearts will bleed when they hear that the vessel " is a wreck, —that the " children's love," greeted with so much of messenger " joy by the missionaries and their converts, will be seen no more by them. With what anxious eyes did our almost martyred brother at Butaritari look for her return, but looked in vain. O God, thy ways are mysterious!— accomplish thine own designs, though all the instruments which man may devise may be dashed to pieces. By this sad calamity the power of the gospel has been gloriously manifested in making this once thievish, lying, cruel people, honest, truthful and kind. Had we been wrecked there eighteen years ago, how different would have been our reception. May the Lord reward them for all their kindness to us. I visited the wreck for the last time on the 17th of November. How desolate she looked, scattered upon this rocky shore—the bow in one place—deck in another—rtimbers in another—theroof of the cabin, where we had so often walked, holding communion with dear ones at home and with God, in another! O what thoughts arise in the mind when we remember the past! She has done her work, but in how short a time ? Did we not trust too much in the instrument, and not enough in Him whose instrument she was ? May the Lord, if it seems good to Him, give us another Star to shine with greater brightness. their efforts with success. Many of the people can read the Bible; at least one-half of all the population belong to what is called the Christian party; four churches have been formed, numbering now in regular standing about 250 members.' Mrs. Sturges has a large school, and also Mr. Doane. They are assisted in teaching by natives of the island, one or two of whom have also the care of churches, but none have ever been set apart to the work of the ministry. No Hawaiian missionaries have labored in this field for many years. The Morn ing Star anchored in Haru Bay, 75 days after we had left Honolulu. Mr. Sturges with Hezekaiah, the high chief of one of the tribes, and the head of the Christian party, came on board. With Mr. Sturgea 1 went on shore met his wife, and Julia their daughter. Soon we were on our way in a canoe to convey to a good brother intelligence which would make his heart sad. At about 10 o'clock, P. M., we landed at Mr. Doane's wharf, and were soon at his house, where I received a greeting such as missionaries alone know how to give each other. I was glad to find myself under the roof of this warm-hearted Christian brother, whom I had met in other days in my own happy home at Lahainaluna, Maui. I communicated to him the state of his wife's health, and her return to the fatherland. He of course was much disappointed, as he was exher return on the Morning Star. pecting I spent two days with our lonely brother, visited a high bluff called "Gibraltar," sailed up a beautiful river named Hudson," a"nd went to the falls of " Niagara." In these excursions 1 was accompanied by a man named Narcissus. He, with his wife, were among the first company who were baptized on the island of Ponape. He came from Manilla ; was a Roman Catholic, and is now an influential, Christian man. His wi*e is a pleasant, somewhat civilized, and Christian woman. One of the high chiefs had said that he would put to death any one who would consent to be baptized by the missionary. Narcissus was not a native, hence did not fear his threat, which however his wife did. She knew well what that threat meant. After Drayer and consultation, she said, I will be " baptized if he cuts me in two." Noble woman ! She was baptized with the name Ponape. The next island of the Caroline Group of " Mary Magdalene." The third person visited by the late Morning Star was Po- who was baptized at that time was a woman nape, or Ascension. The land of this island named Lydia. She has gone to her rest. Another Christian named Elijah, a tall, is high—some 2,800 feet in altitude.

A How often in your ocean-tossed life, sundered far from loved ones, have you not retilized the want of a sympathizing friend ? Whether in the cabin or forecastle, you need one whose love nnd friendship endures amid your changing-life, "a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." A young man piously educated, it child of ninny prayers,-nnd n member of a Christian church, shipped at Boston for his first voyage on board a vessel bound to the Pacific. Life at sea was new life for him. He intended to walls the Chiistian path, but he found none in the forecastle to sympathize with him, or encourage him in his good resolutions. On the contrary, there were oaths and curses ; evil communications which corrupt good manners ; a ridicule of all that wits good, and a mocking at sin. He very soon en mo to the decision that he could not lead a godly life in the forecastle of a ship. This was a sad nnd wrong conclusion, for had he sought for strength and trusted to the grace of God, he would have been enabled to endure all the taunts and ridicule of his shipmates, nnd might probably have won some of them on the better way, by a good example, and kind efforts for their welfare. His great mistake was, that he did not abide in Christ, which was his duty and privilege, as the Saviour exhorts. Not abiding in Him, he was cast forth as n branch which is withered—bringing wretchedness upon himself, and causing anguish of heart to those who loved him. Now had there been in that forecastle a decided friend of the Lord Jesus to take this young man by the hand, and speak words of sympathy, encouragement and warning, his ruin might have been prevented. Among his shipmates were those who were frank and generous, and who would have risked life itself for a brother sailor, but they had no regard for their highest welfare—the salvation of the soul. Reader, do you belong to a ship's crew, not one of whom is a decided Christian, a man of prayer 7 If so, you cannot expect to find one there who shall tell you of a helper for every time of need. But there is a Friend, whose love all love excels, waiting and ready to be your friend. Ah, in your lonely night watch, He is near, watching for any longings for His friendship springing up in your heart; and if at times you venture to breathe an earnest prayer that He would have mercy on you, and save you, He listens to the faintest utterances, and says, "According to your faith, be it unto you." But you cannot secure and abide in His friendship unless you comply with His own condition, which is, ■ If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take* up his cross, and follow me ; for whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it." To take up your cross in the forecastle, to confess Christ before your shipmates, will be hard,and you may shrink from it, but with the Saviour to help, you can do it. Paul said, 1 can do " all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." With the same all-powerful Friend, who is ever ready to help all who trust in Him, you can live to glorify God in the forecastle, and press towards heaven, nnd one HUKM), APRIL, 18.0. day exchange the cross for ihe crown. Many a sailor has found Christ upon the ocean, and proved that there Is above all others, " One Well deaerves the name of Friend." If you have His love in your heart, it will then be your aim to improve the golden opportunities that fall within your sphere to recommend this Friend-to others. Perhaps yon who read these lines have men under your command. As captain or officer of B vessel, your obligations—your influence are far greater than those under your authority, either for good or evil. Christ has emphatically declared, " He that is not for me, is against me." How much good you would do if you were His sincere follower; your influence, whether at sea or on shore, would be felt; many would be your opportunities to lend your perishing fellow-men to the Lamb of God that taketh awny the sin of the world, and your reward would be great. Possibly you are conscious you hnve been unfnithlul to yourself, in that you have neglected your own soul's salvation, and consequently unconcerned nbout the everlasting welfare of those who sail with you. In vastly more than one sense are you on a voyage. Probably you hope, after a few months or years, to bring your vessel safe to port, rest from your fatigues and dangers, and receive the reward of your labors. But what about the voyage of life '! By what chart are you guided ? What are your expectations in that long forever ? Will you at last safely anchor, or in the darkness of despair prove nn eternal wreck ? May your choice note be the friendship of Him of whom it is written, " He that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. - ' Donations.—Thankfully we acknowledge the following : For the Bethel, from Capt.

Steam Communication with Australia. On the 19th of April the Wonga Wonga, the pioneer vessel of the Australian and California line of steamers, arrived in Honolulu, having left Sydney the 26th of March, and calling at Auckland on her route. Everything appears to open favorably for the new line. She brought all the passengers that could be accommodated, some of whom go on to Europe. Connection here was made with the steamer Idaho, which left this port April 21st for San Francisco, taking besides a large number ofresidents and others. We should think this route over the placid waters of the Pacific must prove very acceptable to the traveler, whether on business or pleasure; and the introduction of steam on this ocean must necessarily stir up trade among its numberless islands. A New Zealand paper commenting on this new line, remarks: " The Panama route did not really bring New Zealand into communication with the United States ; nor did it enable telegraphic news to be forwarded which could compete with that which reached us by the Marseilles and Suez route. By the new route, all the HONOLULU, {<DIU Series, 001. 2ft* MAY I, 1870. 33 American Continent, will give, by the steam- Editor’s Notes and Reflections while Passing ers from San Francisco, news from England Along.—No. 13. and the Continent of Europe, which will bo but 25 or 2li days old upon its receipt here."

GIRARD COLLEGE l While spending a few days in Philadelphia, we felt inclined to visit this famous institution. We had. not forgotten the tabu specified in Girard's will, that no clergyman should either teach in or even visit the Col- lege premises. Having occasionally met clergymen who had visited the place, and never having seen any one who had been refused, we were disposed to think that all scruples upon this subject were now ignored. Thus impressed, the gentleman whose hospitality we were enjoying having procured for us a ticket, entitled, " Stranger's Ticket," marked " special," and signed by one of the directors, we naturally supposed that no clause in Girard's will would prevent us from entering and viewing the spacious grounds and costly edifices. On entering the gate we were requested to record our names, being accompanied by two ladies. This form having been complied with, tbe janitor, while FeS Mmaklweo eminary. looking at us with somewhat of a scrutinizing Mr. Editor :—The following donations for the air, inquired, "Are you not a clergyman ?

As our readers may be interested in reading the clause in the will of the founder of this College, we quote as follows: "Extract from the Will of Stephen Girard.

In making this restriction, I do not mean to cast any reflection upon any sect or person whatsoever; but as then- is such a multitude of sects, and such a diversity of opinion amongst them, I desire to keep the tender minds of the orphans, who are to derive advantage from this bequest, free from the excitement which clashing doctrines und sectarian controversy nre so apt to produce. My desire is, that all the instructors and teachers in the College shall take pains to instill into the minds of the scholars the purest principles of morality, so that, on their entrance into active life, they may from inclination and habit, evince benevolence towards their fellow creatures, and a love of truth, sobriety and industry, adopting at the same time, such religious tenets as their matured reason may enable them to prefer." On entering u colored Baptist church, we heard a very good sermon from a colored 'lerj-ymaii. It was Coinm union Sabbath. As the sexton came Hround to luke the collection, we asked him if we should be allowed to commune. He replied very courteously, "If you belong to our faith and order." In the one case we were denied the privilege of visiting Girard College because of our clerical profession, and in the other we were debarred the privilege of "communing" with the professed followers of Christ because not a member of a close Communion Baptist church. Girard had his reasons for forbidding clergymen from visiting the College which he founded, and so our Baptist friends have their reasons. From our standpoint the reasons in both cases are absurd and illiberal; but doubting not that we hold many opinions which to our fellow men may appear equally unreasonable, we feel more inclined to exerThis is certainly very clear and explicit. cise sell-condemnation than utter severe cenAs we sat in the janitor's room wailing for sures upon those who may differ from us in the ladies of our party to return, Commodore religious views. ——, of the United States navy, passed A SABBATH IN NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY. out.

We found the College to be in a most prosperous condition, with its ten professors and one hundred and fifty students. In near proximity is situated the Theologicol Seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church. On Sabbath morning, October 24th, we attended church at the College chapel, and heard the Rev. Dr. Demarest of the Seminary, preach an excellent sermon from Matthew 5:17-20. While seated in the chapel, we could not refrain from an occasional glance at the portraits of illustrious divines and presidents whose names and memories are cherished among not only those belonging to the Dutch Reformed Church, but among Christians of the church universal. There hung the portraits of Livingston, Milledollar, Condict, Cannon, Proudfit, ami the late Chancellor, Hon. Theodore Frelinghaysen, whose memory is precious among all the friends of learning, philanthropy and missions throughout America and the world. One other portrait had found a conspicuous place among those illustrious men which particularly arrested our attention. It was that of the late Rev. David Abeel, one of the early American missionaries to China, where he labored before that Empire was opened to the preaching of Protestant missionaries. Perhnps no one has done more to direct the attention of the friends of missions to China than Mr. Abeel. Twice he visited that country, and when through feebleness the American Board thought it unwise to send him forth, he went among the theological seminaries of America, and endeavored lo arouse the attention of young ministers to the importance of becoming missionaries. Well do we remember his visit to Princeton Seminary during the summer of 1838, while we were a student there. The pleasure of our stay in New Brunswick was much enhanced in consequence of our becoming acquainted with several of the Japanese students now pursuing their studies at this College. Having met Japanese at Honolulu and at Amherst College, it was ex- ceedingly pleasant to meet with students from that far-off land quietly pursuing a collegiate course of study at New Brunswick. Here there are nine. One of them has spent four years in London, and we found him well informed in regard to the world at large. These young men have been sent to obtain their education in America through the- personal influence of the Rev. Dr. Verbeck, Rev.

THE REV. DB. CUMMINGS. On the first Sabbath morning after our arrival in London we visited Crown Court, Drury Lane, Presbyterian chapel to hear the renowned Dr. Cummings, whose writings have become so generally circulated in America and the wide w-uld. Most fortunately for us, he preached ai home that morning. We learned that he seldom makes exchanges or is absent from his pulpit, morning or evening, except during a short vacation at the close of summer. The chapel stands back from the main street, and is quite antiquated in appearance and construction. The pews arc contracted, and the aisles narrow; the pulpit barrel-shaped, and is surmounted by a sounding board. The audience appeared 10 belong to the upper class in society, and many of them we know rank with the aristocracy. It is here the Duchess of Sutherland worships. The exercises, in regard to order of arrangement, varied but little from the Presbyterian or Congregational order as practiced in the United States. As the morning lesson, Dr. Cummings read and expounded the tenth chapter of St. John's gospel, referring to the Great Shepherd. His remarks were very rich and full of meaning. His text was selected from the same chapter, verses 27th and :28th. His discourse was delivered without notes, although it had evidently been prepared with care, and probably written out. DAYS' MISSION IN LONDON. our sojourn there was a strenuous During effort on the part of the clergy of the Established Church to arouse the attention of the mass of the people of the city to the importance of vital godliness. The churches were open morning and evening through the week, and there was constant preaching. To employ an American term, there was "a twelve days' protracted meeting." What seems quite remarkable, this effort was mainly put forth by the High Church Ritualistic party of the Established Church. Still not exclusively so, as the Low Church clergy joined in the effort. We copy the following notice of these meetings from the British Independent of November 26th: " The ' Twelve Days' Mission which the High Church clergy of London have organized for a great assault upon the religious indifference of the metropolis has been completed, and the directors of the movement seem to expect great results. To-day they are all to assemble at St. Jewry's to sing a Te Deum. It has, of course, excited much curiosity from outsiders, and most of the newspapers have attempted to get at some idea of its characteristics and tendencies. It is not surprising that the observers have reTWELVE ' ceived very contradictory impressions. They went with very different prepossessions, and the services have theniselves been by no means of a uniform pattern. Amongst the 120 churches at which they have been held there are • low ' as well as ' high,' and at some there has been nothing but sermonizing, He frequently alluded to the original Greek while others have been filled from morning and quoted from that language, but in a style to night with the perfumery of the mass. however, have been the main feawhich unfolded the meaning of the text, with- Sermons, ture of the Mission, and these seem to have out any apparent display of learning.

The reporter from whom we have already quoted says ' Be it in harmony with the meaning of the Church of England or not, there can be no doubt in the minds ol those who have attended these Mission services that confession is no longer a moot point or matter of discussion, but part and parcel of the religious 'revival,' and differing only in a very slight degree from the practice of the Roman Church.' At, many churches ' celebrations ' were incessant, and a variety of ceremonies were practiced. It is impossible that this revival' can have passed without startling up some dead souls or without giving some poor creatures the hope by which they may be saved. If Christ is preached, even though it be with all manner of absurd and mischievous sacramental additions, we cannot but rejoice." : ' Extracts from the Report of Rev. J. F. Pogue, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board of Missions to Micronesia in 1869. [Concluded.] PONAPE. Returning from my excursion to the falls, I found the boat of the Morning Star waiting at Mr. Doane's wharf to convey mc to the vessel and to Ova, the place now occu. pied by Mr. Sturges. Sooi, I was sailing up the lagoon. The scenery was beautiful in the extreme. Delighted I gazed upon it, as my heart went out in love to that Being who has made so fair a world as this for such beings as we are to inhabit. " Every prospect pleases, and only man is vile." Vile man, however, will be regenerated, and this beautiful island and world will be inhabited by those whose feelings, in unison with this loving landscape, will go out in adoration and devotion to the Holy Father, who has made all things delightful in their kind. On the 24th ot September the examination of Mrs. Sturges' school was held in the large, new stone meeting house at Ova. At 10 o'clock A. M.. some five hundred persons had assembled in the church. The high chief of that district, and the head of the Christian party, with his wife and daughter, were present. This daughter is one of the teachers of the school, and is a pleasant, good looking, intelligent woman ; married to a young man, whose title is lotapa, a fellow passenger on the Morning Star when she was wrecked. Some seventy or eighty pupils were examined in reading, writing, arithmetic and geography. Some questions were asked and answered in astronomy; several compositions read, one on Hawaii nei. The services were closed by a scene from the Bible—David killing Goliah. Everything went off well, and to the satisfaction of those engaged. The pupils have obtained a good �38 THE FRIEND. MAY, deal of knowledge, and appeared well for the advantages which they have had. Mr. Doane has a large class which he is instructing in vocal music. These sang several pieces during the examination, and acquitted themselves admirably. He his the nucleus of many choirs in his school. Many of the pupils have good voices, and will make creditable singers. As at Ebon, so here—all the people, old and yoiyig, join in singing, having committed to memory all their hymns, with appropriate tunes. It is said that the people on the high islands have much sweeter voices thvtn those on the low ones. Why is this ? Many of those at the examination were dressed in foreign clothes, some most fantastically. Especially was this the case with some of their head dresses. As a general thing these people were not so well attired as were the Strong's islanders, while they had more clothes than the inhabitants of the Gilbert Group. After examination came the feast. While in the house of Mr. Sturges, our attention was arrested by a loud outcry, a kind of chant. Going to the door, we saw a long procession of persons with sugar-cane, breadfruit, yams, pigs, dogs, etc., marching to a house where they intended to have the feast. Guns were fired, an old kerosene oil can was beaten,anda kind of flute played. These with the shoutings which were heard, caused as much excitement as is witnessed on such occasions in more civilized lands. One thing was wanting, which was always a part of such gatherings in old times, and is now among the heathen party, viz: awa. No awa was seen or drank. The five distinct tribes on Ponape are the Metalanim, Kity, U, Nut and Jekoits. The Nut and Jekoits are now united under one king, so that there are now only four kings on the island. Hezekiah, the high chief of the E7 tribe, is head of the so-called Christian party, which now numbers 3,000 or more. He is very influential, even more so than the king of the tribe to which he belongs, but is very inferior in personal appearance. There is nothing dignified about him. Being lame in both feet, and not able to stand erect, he has to be carried about on the back of a man, or on a manele. His face is also disfigured, but is. however, a Christian man. He has suffered, and is suffering for the stand which he has taken on the side of Christianity. May he be a nursing father to the church of Ponape, as was he after whom he is named to the Jewish church. Sabbath, September 26th, was another great day for the Ponape Christian party. Notwithstanding a heavy rain a large congregation came together, at least four hundred persons. There were three or four other congregations together on the island at the same lime. Your delegate addressed the people, giving them the Christian salutations of the churches of Hawaii and of the Hawaiian Board; spoke to them of the love of Christ to mankind and to themselves, and then urged them as followers of Christ, whose name they bore, to bring forth fruit, to show their love for him who had loved them and gave his life to save their souls. This service being ended the Sabbath-school assembled : Mrs. Sturges the superintendent; He- 1870. •— . zekiah, his daughter and her husband teachers. It was pleasant to see those high in authority taking theirseats as Sabbath-school teachers to instruct others in the gospel, which was precious to their own souls. At tbe close of the school the Captain of the late Morning Star made some appropriate remarks ; then the women with Mrs. Sturges retired to another house to hold a prayer meeting, while Mr. Sturges and the men remained in the churcii for the same purpose. Alter a short recess the people met again. The Lord's Supper was administered to some two hundred persons. The house was quiet. The peonle behaved with the greatest propriety. I saw none of that whispering, giggling, levity, etc., which has often pained my heart at the table of the Lord on these islands of Hawaii. The people appeared to feel that the Lord was with them; that they were engaged in a solemn service. In the afternoon I accompanied Mr. Sturges and Julia in a canoe to a village in the neighborhood to meet with the people in a prayer and conference meeting. In a large feast house, surrounded with canoes, mats, cooking utensils, etc., we offered our petitions to Him who is ever ready to hear the supplications of His people. It was good to be there. Returning to the house of Mr. Sturges, we closed the services of the day by uniting in prayer with some thirty or forty persons who came for that purpose. A day of toil, of bodily weariness, but a day of soul refreshing from Him who has given us the privilege of thus laboring in His vineyard. May good have been done, souls benefited, and God's name glorified. There are now four churches on Ponape, with some two hundred and fifty members m good standing. Three hundred or more have been baptized, but from deaths, suspensions and expulsions only two hundred and fifty are left. Some 3,000 of the people are under the influence of missionary instruction. No Hawaiian missionary has labored there for many years. It is a hard field ; many influences opposed to the gospel. A good work has been begun, which we hope may continue and extend till all the people, both foreign and aborigines, may be brought to the light, and be made acquainted with Him who alone can save the soul. Our work here being finished, we made preparations to return to Strong's Island, as the missionaries were not prepared to send any of their number west to occupy new fields this year. Perhaps it will be well to state here seme items which 1 gathered from the Captain of the brig Vesta, of Hamburg, belonging to Godfrey & Co., of that city. She came from the Pelew Islands, and was bound to Samoa with dried cocoanuts. The Captain and officers of this vessel have frequently visited the islands west of Ponape, where the Morning Star was expecting to explore this year. Pelew Island. This is basaltic, about 2,000 feet in altitude, and has 10,000 inhabitants; the Captain thinks less. This, however, is the estimation of tbe first officer, an intelligent German, who had spent nine months on the island. The women d%all the work; the men spend their time in eating, sleeping and fishing. The people are governed by one king, who rules with an iron rod, and is greatly feared. Under him are a number of chiefs who acknowledge their allegiance to him, but rule supreme over their own clans. Each man has one wife, and as many concubines as he can afford to buy or support. Their canoes are dug out from one log ; some of them 60 feet long, with out-riggers and sails. The largest canoes have 30 seats, and will carry 60 persons. Yams, breadfruit and sweet potatoes grow in abundance. Pigs and chickens are plenty. Some two years ago the people began the cultivation of cotton under the direction of a foreigner placed there by Godfrey Sc Co., of Hamburg. This firm have now ten cotton gins on.the island, and purchase the cotton when ginned at from six to eight cents per pound in trade. Two kinds are cultivated—the Sea Island and the South Sea cotton, but both are pronounced by good judges to be very inferior articles. It is the opinion of the Captain of the Vesta antl his officers that missionaries would be permitted to live and labor among the people. Yap. This is an island about 2,000 miles from Ebon ; basaltic ; about 30 miles long and 1,200 feet high ; has no lagoon, but a good passage into a harbor large enough for a ship to anchor with safety. The Captain of the Vesta estimated the population at 8 or 10,000. His first officer, however, said there were 15,000. The island is much more thickly inhabited than the Pelew, and (he people more treacherous. The women do all the work. The king is not feared like the king of the Pelew. The people worship a great number of spirits, who make the thunder, lightning, and cause rain. These spirits have the destinies of the people in their power, and are much awed by them. The productions of the island are the same as those of the Pelew. The language might be easily acquired, so thought the Captain, and missionaries might live among them without danger to their lives. Hoogloo. The people of these islands are the most savage of any west of Ponape. The first officer of the Vesta described them as treacherous, much more so than those of Yap or Pelew. Had no doubt our vessel would have been cut offhad she gone there. One month after the wreck of the Morning Star we embarked on board the English brig Anne Porter, Capt. Davie, for Honolulu, via Namaric, Ebon, and Butaritari. Having touched at these islands, and finished the work left undone on our outward passage, we arrived at Honolulu on the 4th day of February, 1570—77 days from Strong's Island, _56 from Ebon, and 44 days from Butaritari. 1 have been absent from Honolulu almost seven months, and during that time have sailed 4,618 miles on the Morning Star, and 5,094 miles on the Anne Porter ; in all 9,712 miles. Your delegate has been treated with the greatest kindness by all the missionaries with whom he has come in contact; as also by the captains, officers and crews of the vessels upon which he has sailed. May the Lord have blessed our intercourse with each other, and may it be seen at th*» last day that the seed sown on the waters may have brought forth fruit to the glory of His name whom we delight to call Master. �- 39 ===== ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Ctiinesc Government has experienced a serious loss in the death of Mr. Anson Burlingame, which occurred at St. Petorsburgh on the 23d of February. In 1867 he was commissioned as Chinese Envoy to the (Jnited States und European powers, with whom he was bringing that vast Empire into closer relations. The Detroit Advertiser thus gives tbe early history of that distinguished Americo-Chinese Embassador: It may not be known to many of our readers that Anson Burlingame was, when a boy, n resident of Detroit, and peddled the Daily Advertiser on the streets for a living. He attracted the attention of the late Charles Tyron, of this city, who took him into his office and educated him. He went to Boston, studied law, became eminent in his pro- I). MAY. 18.0.

Getting into the confidence of his Celestial Majesty, and finding the service of the Chinese Government more profitable than that of Uncle Sam, he abandoned hiß ministry and undertook the leadership of a legation of Mandarins sent to Europe and this country to negotiate treaties with the leading powers. It is noticeable that just about the time he started on this magnificent embassy, his old friend and patron, Counsellor Tyron, died in the Harper Hospital, in this city, in circumstances of great poverty.

At 10:30 A. 11., aenl a boat with Mr. Johnson and four men. At 3P. M., both boata camo nil tti the brig when I loaded them with store* aud sent them on shore (the brig being at the time about two milea from the inland), thinking they couldland and return to the brig before dark Mr. Thomaou, the second officer, and four Hawaiian.* being In uue lioat, and Mr. Johnsonand four men In the other. Tho boats not returning before dark, 1 kept the brig; making abort tacka all night, keeping the light on shore In sight. At daylight theisland bore S. E., about twomilcHdistant. Neither boat coming oil; kept the vessel off and ou all day, making short tacka as during the night. Finding the boata did not make their appearance, ami the wind getting light, and Ibe vessel drifting to leeward, kept her to the northward. February 4, Manuel Demtdcuy fell overboard from the fly jib-boom while looking the nail. When first seen he wan under the port quarter, the brig at the time lieing on the port tack. The vessel waa Immediately brought to on the starboard tack, a Hfr buoy having been cut adrift and thrown to him also all inch plank 12 feet long was thrown overboard l<*r his assistance at the same time. The man had a heavy coat ami an oil-clotli jacketon at the time,nnd being unable to i-wiin, and not having suerei-ded in getting hold of either the j-.ank or lifebuoy, he went downbefore the vessel with the light wind and strongwesterly current could be got round ; and having no boats, it wus impossible to save him.

Mr. John* -n came oo board, reporting that theother boat, in which was .Mr. Thomson at>d the fourHawuiians, had not reached the i-laml. In pulling for theIsland on the In of February after having left the brig about 20 minutes, they nut with a heavy cross current ami toppling sea, and forabout an hour and a half, aa near an he could judge, they were unable to gain an inch on theisland. Just before sunset Mr. Johnson's boat got into smooth water, aud made the lauding. .\ir. Johnaon saw thoother lioat about 15 minutes before sundown, it being at the time admit a quarter of a mile astern ol his boat. Hoon alter looking for it again, waa unable to sec it. Thinking that it was possible that th-boat had not lieen capsized, hut had hoen carried away by the current, winch was selling about VV. s \\'., 1 kept the vessel on that course for two days nnd nights, shortening sailand laying the brig aback during the night, alt the tiuie keeping a look out at the mast-head in hopes ofdiscovering the boat.

We do not remember to have heard an order given during the whole passage, everything was done so orderly and quietly. Passengers were made to feel perfectly at home, and received every attention from stewards and waiters. Capt. F. sails the vessels under his command upon t/w principles of nautical science, most attentively noting every change of wind and current, together with barometrical and thermometries! changes. Capt. Floyd is an honor to his profession, and we hope he may long be retained on the steamers running between Honolulu and San Francisco. A Kind Word for the Sailor.—How pleasant it is to hear a shipmaster speak kindly of his sailors. This was the case recently on the part of the commander of the Puritan, Capt. Henry. He remarked to us that not one of his men had been intoxicated since coming into port, and that all worked well and faithfully. We wonder if kindness and good treatment do not have the same influence upon sailors as upon otherlaborers. We seldom hear the commanders of the packets running between Honolulu and the coast complain of their men. Some of them we have known as sailing in these vessels for years. Remarkable Ship’s Cook.—On visiting American ship Puritan, we were much gratified with the excellent cabin and all the internal arrangements of the ship, but especially with the man who had charge of the caboose." We were somewhat surprized "that the Captain should feel inclined to introduce us particularly to his cook. Our surprize ceased when we learned that our colored friend was a good navigator, and kept a regular ship's log, every day taking the sun at noon, and making his calculations as regularly and accurately as the master. We noticed with much gratification that the cook was furnished with a neat " state " room, and had a well furnished library of his own, including several books on navigation. We learned that he was a freedman from Virginia, and that his father was a Congo African slave, while his mother was an Indian. It appears that when once upon a voyage in the Atlantic, the master and mate died. The second mate was a poor navigator. After sailing without knowing whither the ship was bound, they fell in with another ship and obtained a navigator, who conducted the ship to port. The cook then resolved never to be thus caught again, and immediately commenced the study of navigation. (he Distinguished Stranger.—We are glad to welcome to our islands the Rev. Dr. Clark, Foreign Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., and successor of the Rev. Dr. Anderson. His visit is partially for health,and also to confer with the missionaries of the Board respecting the prospects of the work of missions on these islands and in Micronesia. He expects to return by the next trip of the steamer. The captain of an American vessel bound for New York lately fell in with a deserted ship at sea, in the cabin of which was found the body of a man about thirty years of age, his head resting upon a box containing one hundred and sixty dollars in gold. 41 Editor’s Notes and Reflections while Passing Along through the Old World.

There is now a reality to antiquity, in our mind, such as we never gave to it before. In America, two centuries and a few more years cover all our ruins, unless they are In- dian remains, dateless and uncertain. Not so when the visitor steps upon the shores of the Old World. At the British Museum are relics three thousand years old. Scattered all over England are ruins and relics associated with the people who lived many hundred years ago. There is no doubt in regard to the subject. Such are the ruins of an abbey in the old town of Reading. This abbey was founded in A. D. 1121,and completed in 1125. Some of its walls are still standing, covered with ivy. It is in the centre of the city of Reading, and most creditable to the citizens, they sacredly guard the old ruins. Originally the abbey covered an area of half a mile in circumference. Enough remains to indicate how extensive the buildings must have been. As we wandered through its old halls and apartments, but especially as we viewed the old banqueting ball, and reflected upon the character of its former inmates, we could not but imagine what famous times the jolly old monks and abbots must have had. When Henry I. founded the abbey, he designed to make provision for the accommodation of two hundred Benedictine monks and the refreshment of travelers. It appears that Henry destroyed three other abbeys for building this of Reading. The reason for their destruction was on account of their sins." We cannot " learn whether this was a good or bad institution, but we do find the following well aiir thenticated incident reported respecting tha visit of King Henry VIU. to this abbey ? �42 THE rft 11 N•, JINK, 1 Hlii " Henry VIII. having been hunting in Wind-to sor Forest, went down about dinner time the Abbey of Reading, where disguising himself as one of the King's guard, he was invited to the abbot's table. Here, his tooth being whetted by the keen air of the forest, he fed so lustily on a sirloin of beef, that his vigorous appetite was noticed by the master of the ceremonies. Well fare thy heart,' quoth the abbot. would give a hundred pounds if I could I ■ feed so heartily on beef as thou dost. Alas! my weak and squeazie stomach will hardly digest the leg of a ntbbit or a wing of a "' chicken.' " The monarch having satisfied his palate, thanked the abbot for his good cheer, and deported undiscovered. Some weeks afterwards the abbot was arrested, conveyed to London, sent to the Tower, and allowed no food but bread and water. This treatment, together with the fears for the consequences of the King's displeasure, soon removed the effects of repletion, and at last, when a sirloin was placed before him, he ate as freely as a famished plowman. When he had finished the meal, the King, who had been a hidden spectator, burst from his concealment. " My Lord," said the jolly and laughing monarch, "pay your hundred pounds of gold, or else no going hence all the days of your life. I have been the physician to cure your squeazie stomach, and as I deserve, 1 demand my fee for so doing." The abbot, knowing that argument was of no avail with the stern Harry, paid the money, and returned home, rejoicing that he had escaped so easily, and no doubt a wiser and better man. of the tower in the Castle, is one of surpassing beauty and loveliness. The Castle itself is most renowned. Here has been the home of English sovereigns ever since William the Conqueror in the eleventh century, laid its foundations. Subsequent kings and queens have added to its strength and beauty. The day before our visit the Queen had left for another part of the Kingdom. Of late Her Majesty has been entertaining at this renowned fortress the King of Belgium and his suite. We have read daily reports of the same in the Court Journal. Opposite Windsor Castle, on the other side of the Thames, is the famous " Eton " Grammar School, where so many sons of the nobility of England have been educated during the last four or five hundred years. The school was established in the reign of King Henry VI., in the fifteenth century. Our guide pointed in the distance to the country churchyard where the poet Grey laid the scene of his beautiful elegy,commencing, a The curfew tolls the knell of parting day." In an opposite direction he called our attention to the spot where the Merry Wives of Windsor," according to Shakespeare, gave Jack Falstaff a thorough ducking in the " Thames. The more we wander about England, either in city or country, the more are we impressed with the fact that we are treading classic ground. With many a church and street of London, and almost every country village, is associated the name of some poet or prose writer of eminence, while their writings have rendered famous many a hill, stream, town and forest otherwise of little WINDSOR CASTLE AND FOREST. account.

In one of the apartments is a fine collection of pointings of kings, queens and the renowned of by-gone ages. A portrait of Mary Queen of Scots wus on exhibition, which has recently been discovered, and which is much admired among the lovers of the fine arts. There are numerous relics and curiosities which attract the visitor's attention, but not one is viewed perhaps with more eager delight than the old iron lantern which Guy Fawkes carried in his hand on that most eventful sth of November, when he would have blown up the Protestant Parliament of England. The Protestant visitor to Oxford will not fail to seek out and view the monument marking the spot where Ridley, Cranmerand Latimer were burnt in front of Baliol College. There are not only relics of a nature to awaken the deepest religious emotions in the visitor's mind, but also some which indicate that study and devotion have not always characterized the students and fellows of Oxford. In the " kitchen " of Queen's College the old salver was exhibited upon which the boar's head was served up, and also the "drinking horn," gold mounted, which has been carefully preserved, so says tradition, for five hundred and twenty years. Fixed and conservative as Oxford may have been during by-gone ages, yet the spirit of the age has invaded those old cloistered walls. The question is now agitated of admitting young ladies to its privileges and lectures. Other revolutions and changes are in progress. The natural sciences now claim a rank formerly denied to them. The sons of Dissenters too claim its privileges, and if they do not now, will soon walk its corridors in equality with the sons of Churchmen. The world moves, and old universities must bend or be swept away. The spirit of the age marches onward with a firm and resolute step. "Pari* Seen through American Spectncles." * We recollect to have read some years ago a most interesting volume with the foregoing title, written by J. J. Jarves, Esq., whose writings are so well known at the islands. His descriptions were vivid and truthful. We little imagined when we perused his pages that the privilege would ever be afforded us of verifying their accuracy by personal observation. Nearly a generation has passed away since Mr. Jarves looked out upon sights, scenes and people in this gay metropolis of France, yet we are now witnessing essentially the same panorama of human life, bustle and gaiety. We left London under the shadow of darkness on the evening of December 3d, and as the morning dawned we entered Paris, having passed over the road from London to �Dover, crossing the channel to Calais. When the dawning light enabled us to look forth, we saw not the green fields and vine-clad hills of France, as we had fondly imagined would be our privilege, but as far as the eye could reach the whole country robed in a mantle of the purest white. Not having seen a similar sight since leaving New York for Honolulu jn December, 1851, or eighteen years ago, it made a deep impression upon the mind. It continued to snow all day, hence our first impression of the gay city of Paris is quite different from what we had anticipated. Storm though it might, we could not remain in our hotel, but forth we sallied, and as we were so fortunate as to find an island friend, Judge A., in the city, who was willing to encounter with us a storm of snow, we walked farther and saw more on the first day of our arrival that we had any reason to expect. We had not gone far before being favorably impressed with the fine appearance of the city. Its open squares, broad avenues, spacious boulevards, straight streets, excellent sidewalks, and general aspect, indicated that this was indeed "no mean city." Without any special design on our part, we found ourselves in the most beautiful part of the city—the " Place dc la concorde," bounded on one side by Camps Elysees, and on another by the garden of the Tuileries, while in the centre stands that most remarkable curiosity of Ancient Egypt, the famous obelisk which Mehcmet Ali presented to Louis Philippe, and which was transported to Paris in 1833 at an immense cost of something like 2,000,000 francs, or 8400,000. It is covered of course with Egyptian hieroglyphics, and rises to the height of about 100 feet. The height of the obelisk itself is 72 feet, composed of one solid mass of reddish granite. While gazing upon this wonderful object of historic interest, our companion informed us that it stands upon the identical spot where nearly eighty years ago the guillfttine stood, upon which from January 21, 1793, to May 3, 1795, more than two thousand and eight persons perished ; and if we have been correctly informed, Louis XVI. was executed on the same spot. In view of such historic associations, we were ready to exclaim, " O that this snowy mantle might forever rest upon the spot and cover the guilt of those who perpetrated so many deeds of darkness and blood." Returning from our walk, we entered the Louvre, and there for two or three hours we wandered from room to room, hall to hall, gallery- to gallery, viewing portraits, battle scenes, landscapes; ancient and modern specimens of sculpture and statuary ; relics and curiosities from Egypt, Nineveh, Greece, Rome, America, India, China, and almost Is. 0 every part of the globe. We walked until wearied and the shades of evening were gathering, but many rooms and apartments we left unexplored and unvisited. Among the interesting rooms none exceeded the one named Napoleon. There were a multitude of relics, curios, articles of furniture, war instruments, guns, pistols, swords, books, and numberless articles which belonged to Napoleon I. There was not only his chapeau, but even his common hat worn at St. Helena, and the handkerchief that he carried. There were medals, his watch, saddle, bridle, and "other things too numerous to mention." All are most carefully enclosed in glass cases, and most sacredly guarded. A police officer or soldier is always in attendance. On certain days of the week this vast museum is open to the public. It was interesting to see numerous painters copying beautiful paintings as they hung upon the walls, and also young students carefully studying noble specimens of ancient statuary. Although the day was far from propitious for sight seeing, we returned well satisfied with our first day's excursion in this city, and let not our readers imagine that we have fully described all we this day observed. Sabbath in Paris. —This was the second day of our sojourn in Paris. The day was clear and bright, but very cold. The snow melted but slightly on the sidewalks,although numbers of laborers were employed to remove it. Our steps were early tending towards the American chapel, where the Rev. Mr. Robinson officiates. This chapel is under the patronage and control of the American and Foreign Evangelical Society. The church is well located,and finished in a neat and most comfortable style. It is such a church edifice as our countrymen have no reason to be ashamed of. There gathered an audience of some three or four hundred. The assembly, preacher and preaching were decidedly American. Mr. R. has a fine voice, and preached an excellent sermon from Hebrews 9:13, 14. If his sermon on this occasion is to be taken as his general style of preaching, then surely the pulpit of the American chapel in Paris is true to the great doctrines of Evangelical religion. There are several other places of Protestant worship in Paris in the English language, viz: the English church, Wesleyan and American Episcopal. In the afternoon we visited the renowned church of Notre Dame, where so recently Father Hyncinthe preached before he left for America. On the present occasion, the preacher's name we were informed was— David. His sermon, or discourse, was delivered after the usual exercises were closed. . 43 iII E FR I E M). J 111 E, Father David spoke in a most animated and eloquent manner. His voice was clear, full and sonorous, and appeared to fill the immense building, and resounded from the vaulted roof of the lofty cathedral. His dis course related principally to the Virgin Mary, although a portion referred to the imitation of Christ's example. Notre Dame, historically and architecturally, is one of the most noted church edifices, not only of France, but of the world. It stands upon an island in the Seine. If Gothic architecture is suited to aid devotion and the public worship of Jehovah, then those congregating at Notre Dame are peculiarly favored. The service was performed on this occasion by a bishop andabout twenty priests, with numerous attendants. As we walked the streets, the general appearance was that of a week day, except some few stores were closed, and these we were informed belonged to Protestants. From the newspapers we learn that the theatres and all places of amusement were open as on other days and evenings. Such a state of things upon the Sabbath is surely in strong contrast with Protestant England, which we had just left, and where we had spent four Sabbaths—one in Liverpool, two in London, and one in the country, about thirty miles west of London. We can confidently assert, in no part of the world have we ever seen the external observance of the Sabbath more as it should be than as we witnessed it in Old England. Long may she continue a Protestant and Sabbath keeping nation. A DAY DEVOTED TO SIGHT-SEEING. We have enjoyed one more day for viewing this city through our "American spectacles." It has been improved in viewing the city from the summit of the"Arch of Triumph," and in visiting the Imperial LibraryThe Triumphal Arch, or "Arc dc Triurnphe dc Etoile," is regarded as one of the most magnificent structures of the world. It stands in an elevated part of the city, and from it, as a centre, twelve broad avenues radiate. The beholder viewing these thronged avenues, gets a tolerably correct idea of the magnitude of this great city of 2,000,000 inhabitants. This grand arch was begun by the first Napoleon in 1806, and after thirty years was completed by Louis Philippe in 1836. It is 156 feet high, and built after the style of the triumphal arches of Ancient Rome. We believe this was copied after the Arch of the Emperor Trajan. It is covcretl with inscriptions and various devices, setting forth the glory of France and Napoleon I. In one representation a crown is in the act of being placed upon his head. But we must not omitthe Imperial Library, for that place of all others in Paris we were anxious to visit. "And how many volumes �THE FRIEND, JUNE, I S7 0. 44 docs this library contain?" we asked the gentleman who conducted us through the THE FRIEND. JIM. 1, numerous and spacious apartments.

This gentleman, we would add, is the author of an interesting publication in Paris relating to the Hawaiian Islands, entitled, Catalogue D'Ouvrages, re" latifs aux Isles Hawaii; Essai dc Bibliographic Hawaiienne, par William Martin." This work was published in Paris in 1867, and is well calculated to give European scholars a favorable impression of books relating to these islands. The work conesponds to that of Mr. Pease as published in the Friend for May, 1862, and Jas F. Hunnewell, Esq., as published in Boston in 1869. Mr. Martin appears to take most- lively interest in things relating to these islands. We found him to be a man of scholarship, culture and much general information, and our only regret at parting was that our short sojourn in Paris did not enable us to profit more fully by the gratifying offers of assistance which he so generously proffered. Such public officers are much prized by travelers in search ofreliable information.

Humboldt remarks, somewhere in his Comos, that a person who once resides in the land of thp palm and banana, if he roams abroad, will always sigh to return. There is a certain indescribable something in the waving of a palm, the shade of a mango and tamarind tree, the gentle and balmy fanning of the trade wind, the clear blue sky,and the free and easy social life, which renders a residence in the tropics most inviting and bewitching, if it is a little enervating and predisposing to indolence. Then too there is a cordiality among the people, and absence of those conventionalities which make one feci in a colder latitude, as if " hedged in." We have always liked Honolulu, and pleased with a residence on the Hawaiian Islands. We like the people. There is something peculiarly pleasing in an Hawaiian's salutation, "Aloha." The Rev. Dr. Anderson remarks in his book on the Hawaiian Islands, "And that word Aloha is their characteristic word. If they have not words to express some of the greater ideas, they certainly have a word expressing one of the sweetest, richest sentiments of the human heart—Aloha. It means love to you. I never wearied with the repetition, though I repeated it a thousand times." As for the foreigners, we like them too, and among them we have always found a cordial welcome, whether residing in Honolulu or elsewhere upon the islands. We feel most gratified that "our Notes and Reflections while passing along through the Old and New World " should have found so many appreciative readers. While writing, it was pleasant to feel one's self in communication with so many old friends and constant readers of the J<Hend. We find on our return that our materials gleaned during our wanderings in foreign lands have not been entirely exhausted in what has already been published, hence we shall continue to serve our readers with a few more nombers, and shall endeavor so to enliven these sketches that they may be as much interested in what may follow as in what has already been published. During our fourteen months' absence we have safely traveled one-half the distance around the globe, and all the Way by steam, except from Jaffa to Jerusalem, only thirtyfive miles. This was performed on horseback. The facilities for travel are exceedingly pleasant and agreeable. One has only to place himself on the line of conveyance, and he is borne along with astonishing rapidity, whether on land or sea. Comparatively few are the accidents, while the delights are abundant. We will not now dwell upon the benefits attending foreign travel. We shall hope each one of our readers will realize the enjoyment of the request expressed in the Shakesperian motto heading our Notes and Reflections." " Jubilee.—Fifty years have elapsed since the landing of the Americun missionaries on the Hawaiian Islands, and it is proposed to celebrate the event on the 15th of the current month by holding jubilee gatherings both among foreigners and Hawaiians.

It is the same identical table upon which he has written editorials and book notices since 1843 ! This table is surmounted with a very plain mahogany writing desk, of not much value, and yet it has a history of some interest. It once was, the property of the Rev. Samuel J. Mills, the friend of Obookiah, whose visit to America, sixty years ago, was an important link in that chain of providences which led to the establishment of the American Mission on these islands in 1820. The efforts of Mills in behalf of these islands have become historic, although he never came hither. In the Providence of God, he went as associate with the Rev. Dr. Burgess, now living in Dedham, Mass., to the western const of Africa, for the purpose of selecting a site for the colony of Liberia. They were successful. This desk upon which we are now writing went to Africa fifty years ago, but upon it we have written editorials ever since commencing the publication of the Fr'nud. Now whenever any publisher or friend feels inclined to lay upon our tabic any new publication—book or pamphlet—we shall notice the same, so far as our limits will allow. Muhic-Hall Sermon*. By Key. W. H. H. Murray, Pastor of Park Street Church. Boston fields, Osgood & Co. 1870. : This volume was handed to us the morning we left San Francisco in Bancroft's new book-store, Market street. Firstly, we will refer to the book-store, and secondly, to thebook. The Book-store. Bancroft & Co. formerly kept in Montgomery street, and we believe still keep their old store open for the sale of stationery. They intend, however, to centre their operations in the book trade in a new store in Market street, near the Bible House. They have erected a fine building, and are fitting it up in a style bespeaking taste, elegance and abundance of means. Under the same roof there will be an apartment for the sale of books, another for printing, another for binding, and still another for engraving. Besides, in the upper story is to be located the Pacific Library. This is one of the best collections of books relating to the Pacific. It is becoming every year more and more valuable, and the firm spares no reasonable expense to add to the collection. The Book, —It contains twelve sermons preached in Music Hall, and printed as delivered. Such as topics are discussed : The tenderness of God—The union of moral forces—To young men—Divine friendship—The power of great cities— The moral condition of Boston ; and how to bo improved — Having heard much of the peculiarities and eccentricities of the author, we were exceedingly glad to fall in with this volume of sermons. The style is smart, crispy and taking. Old truths are presented in a new dress. The old method of divisions and subdivisions is abandoned. The preacher appears to be thoroughly Orthodox (of course the pastor of Park Street Church and successor of Griffin should be,) and yet there is a certain something about the sermons which is very peculiar. He seems to preach, as we heard one of Mr. Murray's friends remark, half truth*. Spurgeon, for example, preaches " the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," to employ an expression of the Judge. Murray preaches the truth, but it is after his fashion. We are not surprised, however, that the common people hear him gladly. We have space for only a single example, from the sermon on " Burden Bearing." the young man of 1810 and " Between 1870 is a vast gulf of change,—let us hope, of progress. The tide ahead runs with whirling swiftness, and the air is full of drifting spray and patches of froth. Those who sail the future must beat their way up in the teeth of the tempest. Men and women that stand erect under such pressure as awaits the next generation will stand because of some other reason than that they are churchmembers, or because they arc restrained by the fear of public opinion. God alone knows what public opinion will be forty years from this. Such as stand will stand because they are strong in themselves. They will stand, as the granite pillar stands, because it is weighty and ponderous, and set upon a wellsecured pedestal. I have no faith in a virtue strong only in crutches and props, which topples over the instant friendly outside support is withdrawn. The soul that is virtuous only because of the absence of temptation is not virtuous at all; but the soul that looks en- ticut. The writer's reputation as a successful missionary and writer is well known in China, California and the Sandwich Islands. He visited our islands about twelve years ago, and awakened a deep and abiding interest in behalf of the Chinese, while his efforts on the Pacific coast in the same cause were most timely and efficient. He was editor of that unique newspaper, published in San Francisco, entitled the Oriental, printed in both the Chinese and English languages ; hence the Rev. Dr. Speer brings to the preparation of this work rare accomplishments. It ha* been our privilege to examine several parts of the book, now being stereotyped in the city of Philadelphia. We do not hesitate to endorse the book as most opportune, and exactly fitted to meet the popular demand for reliable information respecting the people of the " Middle Kingdom," or the Flowery Land, or to employ the language of Scripture, the inhabitants of " the land of Senim." Some parts of the work have particularly attracted our attention, viz: Chapter 14, America's relations withChina; Chapter 22, " the glory of America ; Chapter 23, the future of the Chinese race." In glancing through the pages of this work, we have been particularly struck with the skillful and felicitous interweaving of mate- " " rials, gathered from a great variety of sources—history, commerce, missionary periodicals, personal observation, and the Chinese themselves. The work is entitled: The Oldest and the Newest Empire: China and the United States." We notice with much satisfaction that the writer endorses the Burlingame policy, which forms so marked a feature in diplomacy of the passing age with reference to the proper treatment of the Chinese Empire by the civiand frowns it ticement steadily in the eye, down, until it slinks away abashed, which lized nations of Europe and America.

This world is a stage of excitement, There's danger wherever you go ; But if you are tempted in weakness, Have courage, my boy, to say so. The siren's sweet song may aliure you ; Beware of her canning and art; Whenever you see her approaching, Be guarded, and haste to depart. The billiard saloons are inviting, Decked out in their tinsel and show ; You may be invited to enter ; Have courage, my boy, to say no. : The bright ruby wine may be offered No matter how tempting it be, From poison that stings like an adder, My boy, have the courage to flee. The gambling halls are before you, Their lights, how they dance to and fro ! If yon should be tempted to enter, Think twice, even thrioe, ere you go. In courage alone lies your safety, When you the long journey begin, And trust in a heavenly Father Will keep you unspotted from sin. Temptations will go on increasing, As streams from a rivulet flow, But ifyou are true to your manhood. Have the courage, my boy, to say no. Everybody's Paper. — Mr. Aheong’s Request. Many of our readers are well acquainted with Mr. S. P. Aheong and his labors among the Chinese on these islands, under the patronage of the Hawaiian Board. His engagement has terminated, and he has sailed for China with his family. At-the weekly prayer-meeting at the Bethel, Wednesday evening, May 25th, he made a short address in English, as follows : this will be the last time I shall " Perhaps to you. I expect a ship from Califorspeak nia to take me to China. I came sixteen years ago as one of the lower class of laborers. I was a heathen man, but I learned about God, and the Saviour. Now I go back to see my father and mother, grand-parents and brothers and sisters. They all heathen, and know nothing about God and our Saviour. 1 want to tell them about our Saviour. I want to see my parents once more. Perhaps 1 come back. God knows; I don't know. I want you to pray for me and for my countrymen. There are 1,500 in this country, and more come this year, perhaps two or three hundred.- They come heathen men. I hope, brothers and sisters o» this church, you will pray for me, and the millions of my countrymen in China. I go and tell them of our Saviour." After this manner Aheong addressed us, and we assured him that he would not be forgotten. We would commend him and his family to the praying people, both foreign and native, throughout these islands. He virtually goes as .our Christian missionary to China. We regard it as a high honor to the Hawaiian churches to be able to send back to that great nation one whose views are so thoroughly Christian and enlightened. Wherever his lot is cast, we feel fully confident that he will prove a true witness for Christ in " the uttermost part of the earth."—Acts 1:8. Mr. Aheong also expressed the hope that Christians on the islands would labor to teach his countrymen the truths of Christianity. Here is a field of labor, the importance of which cannot be over-estimated. The heathen have literally come to our very doors, and ask to be taught the way of life and salvation. It is a hopeful field. The past should encourage us to go forward. Something must immediately be done to sustain the school (or leaching Chinese in English. It has been taught by Mr. Dunscombeat the Bethel vestry, under Mr. Aheong's supervision. Now is the time to take some efficient action in the matter, in order that the labors of Mr. Aheong during (lie last eighteen months may not be lost. Efforts in Behalf of the Chinese in California.—lt was gratifying 1to learn from personal observation that much is doing in California in the way of teaching the Chinese the English language and the great principles of chrisiianity. On the Bth of May—Sabbath—we were present at the Chinese Sabbath-school in the Ist Congregational church of San Francisco (the Rev. Dr. Stone's church.) About 250 Chinese were in attendance, and were arranged in classes from two to four or five. They were taught the simple rudiments of English by volunteer teachers, both mf>le and female. We were glad to learn that other evangelical churches on the Coast were engaged in the same work, and with gratifying success. This in addition to the Chinese Mission under the Key.

"The Trans-Continental."—This is the title of a small daily sheet, published on board the cars running on the Overland Pacific Railroad. We would acknowledge No. 6, from J. F. Hunnewell, Esq., one of the Boston Party recently visiting San Francisco. It is dated " Summit Sierra Nevada, May 31." The sheet is beautifully printed, and we copy as follows :— —Early this morning, as we ascended the Sierras, we encountered quite a snow storm, a new incident in our trip. In Summit Valley forty-two feet of snow has fallen during a winter, and eight feet has been known to fall in a single storm. In crossing these mountains we pass thirteen tunnels cut through granite rock—the longest 1,680 feet —and through about thirty miles of snow sheds, timbered as heavily as a line-of-battle ship. " Cape Horn," and the view downthe American River Valley, added a majestic climax, full of grandeur and beauty, and after rising 3,000 feet, and descending 7,000 feet, we shall reach Sacramento, the capital of California. HO' Since writing the above paragraphs, we have received a private letter from Mr. Hunnewell, from which we take the liberty to quote as follows :— June 3rd, " San Francisco, We had a magnificent ride across the continent in the most splendid train of cars that ever crossed it. We had on board a newspaper published daily, called " The Transcontinental," of which I send you a copy. I wrote the closing leader "—and the first in the first number " (besides other parts). It was an unexpected satisfaction to me to reflect that as my father, fifty years ago, as- 57 \m Series, ooi. n sisted in striking oft" the first printed page on Editor's Notes and Reflections while Passing Along through the Old World. the N.

FoTurhtoefJuly. The day was truly a holiday to all classes in Honolulu. The Government offices were closed. The Legislature adjourned. The stores and shops were deserted. Such as did not seek amusement in the country, found it at various gatherings in town. At the residence of the American Minister a sumptuous table was spread, from 12 to 1 o'clock, under the shade of the beautiful trees, where all so inclined, including the officers of the Hawaiian Government, resorted to pay their respects. Then followed a gathering at the residence of the American Consul, where, in addition to the usual collation, Mrs. Adamson received the ladies, and her husband, the Consul, delivered an appropriate and eloquent address which, we hope, will be published. As he is a native of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, he could speak, with propriety, of old revolutionary times. The children's pic-nic, up the valley, at the residence of Mrs. Paty, was a grand success. The •' old folks" were as much delighted as the "young folks." The day was charming, so that with a good entertainment, music, marching, and a few speeches, the occasion passed off to the delight of all.

Leaving Paris on the evening of December 7th, the next morning found us almost within sight of the Alps, coursing our way rapidly towards Italy, via Mt. Cenis. We took breakfast at Culoz, some forty miles south of Geneva. It is a region of vineyards. We saw some fields which had been planted with Indian corn. The high and precipitous mountains, the narrow valleys, and general aspect of the country often reminded us of some of the vast and broken lava regions of Maui and Hawaii. The day was uncommonly clear and beautiful, though rather cold. About noon we passed through the village of Aignebelle, where many of the inhabitants are afflicted with the goitre, or a swelling of the throat on account, it is reported, of the water. In passing we only saw one man thus afflicted, but bis caa* indicated what might be the condition of others. Onward we passed at a rapid speed until we reached a place called St. Michel, where the real ascent of the Alps commences. The distance across is seventy-two miles to Suza. At St. Michel we exchanged cars, taking only one car, to be drawn by a single powerful engine. There were only som« twenty passengers; all were placed in this small car, and by a new and peculiar kind of machinery, aided by a third rail, the car is drawn up declivities, or grades, such as were perfectly astonishing to myself who had never seen R. R. trains passing up a grade exceeding, perhaps, 80 feet to the mile. We will not pretend to assert what the grade per mile is on the Alps ; but suffice, the track is laid parallel with the common road for carriages. It follows that road, no matter how short the �58 mi ii i; 1i; \ i). julv, i.s. curves may be, or steep the ascent. All we can say upon the subject is, that this species of railroad travel was absolutely marvellous We ascended and descended at the rate of 12 miles per hour, making the trip across in six hours. A person who has not crossed the Alps by the Mt. Cenis Pass,ran form but a faint idea of the difficulties of the undertaking to construct a railroad through this region of the Alps. The celebrated " Cape Horn," on the Sierra Nevada mountains, we thought was sufficiently frightful; but that was nothing compared with many on this route. Tourists and writers—in prose and verse, have for ages been describing the beauties and grandeur of Alpine scenery ; but the theme is not exhausted ; neither will it be so long as the traveler sees "Alps on Alps arise." On our journey over the Sierra Nevada, and Rocky mountains, and among the Alleghanies, we saw much beautiful and grand mountain scenery, but all combined does not equal the scenery on the route through which we have just passed. One writer has asserted that the scenery on the Italian side of the Atys even surpasses that on the Savoy side: however that may be, we cannot decide from personal observation, for we made the descent in the darkness of night, and in the face of a driving snow- o. To-day, December 9th, we passed down the valley leading from Suza to Turin. The sides of the mountains are covered with vineyards wherever the absolute steepness of the mountains does not prevent the people from obtaining a foot-hold. The interval between the mountains is very level, and must be exceedingly rich. We have seen no waste land thus far in Italy. We have been spending the day in viewing places of historic interest in Turin. This was formerly the capital, in the days of Charles Albert, and subsequently during the early part of the reign of Victor Emmanuel. The king's palace remains as he left it when the court removed to Florence. Certainly a palace, most beautifully built and fitted up, is a most sad and melancholy place, wh«n there are no royal personages to occupy it. We have this day wandered through the desolate mansion. The apartments are most beautifully arranged and gorgeously adorned. A military guard is still on duty, but visitors are allowed to wander from room to room, and view the gilded apartments. The palace joins the Cathedral which was formerly most handsomely ornamented, and decorated with paintings. During our brief stay in Turin, we called upon the Rev. Mr. Malan, pastor of a Protestant congregation of about 200 Italians and Waldensians.

Not far from the famous Mt. Cenis tunnel is now being constructed.! It is to be eight miles in length. At the present rate of progress it will be finished in 1871. Its cost is estimated at seven millions of dollars. Five-sixths of the expense is paid by France, and the remaining sixth by Italy. t We reached Suza at nine o'clock and remained there all night. Suza is the ancient town of Segusium. There we found a Roman arch in a good state of preservation. It was erected eight years before the Christian era, in honor ofAugustus, by order of a Roman prefect; it is about fifty feet high, and forty wide. There it has stood for 1880 years, and we see no reason why it may not stand as many more years—those old Romans were good masons. taken from its parents by the authority of the "Church " law, and the emissaries of Rome refused to deliver up the child, when prosecuted before the civil tribunals. The result was a long and unsatisfactory trial. The inquisitor was imprisoned, but refusing to make any disclosures, he was finally released on the plea, that he acted under the authority of the grand inquisitor and the Pope. In view of such facts, no wonder the common people of Italy rejoiced when the ecclesiastical law was abolished. We saw a pillar erected in one of the public squares of Turin, commemorative of the abolition of ecclesiastical law. On the sides of the pillar were the names of the cities and towns of Italy which contributed to defray the expense of erecting the same. In visiting the church of St. Petronio, we were much interested in viewing, upon the floor of the edifice, "Meridian Line," which was placed there in 1655 by the astronomer, Cassini, the guomon which throws the shadow being 80 feet high. This singular specimen of astronomical work is imbedded in the floor of the church in marble ; upon it are inscribed the signs of the zodiac. The " Line " crosses the church floor somewhat diagonally. It was in this church that Charles Y. was crowned Emperor of Spain, and all the countries attached to that renowned kingdom. This ceremony took place in 1530, Pope Clement VII. officiating. There is a most curious work of art in one of the apartments of this church. It is that of a bas-relief of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, wherein the famous lady sculptor has seen fit to introduce her own portrait and that of her lover. Her name was Proporzia-di-Rossi. The University of Bologna was formerly among the most renowned in all Europe. We visited the buildings, and took a melancholy interest in wandering through the famous library of 200,000 volumes.

Young Hawaiian abroad.—A certain Ainerico-Hawaiian, traveling with his parents through Europe, chanced to visit Genoa. While there, his mother said, " you must not fail to go and see the monument to Christopher Columbus, because he discovered your country."

IWemorial Discourse.—This discourse was delivered by the Key. James B. Miles, pastor of the first parish church, Charlestown, Mass., and is commemorative of Mrs. S. L. Hunnewell, widow of the late Captain James Hunnewell. This friend of Oahu College, and of Hawaiians, died May 2nd, 1869, and the death of his beloved wife followed on the 20th of February, 1870. If Mr. Hunnewell had survived a few months longer, their golden wedding would have been celebrated ; but now both have passed away. They were long united in their lives, and in death they were not divided. It was our privilege to enjoy the hospitality of Mrs. Hunnewell's pleasant home, in Charlestown, and experience much kindness at her hands. In that household, topics relating to these islands were the constant theme of discussion and conversation. The names of places and people were as familiar to Mr. and Mrs. Hunnewell, as to residents in Honolulu. Both lived to a good old age, and were gathered to their fathers in peace. This discourse is a beautiful tribute to Mrs. Hunnewell's many virtues and excellences. A similar discourse was delivered by the same reverend gentleman and scholnrly divine, at the funeral of Mr. Hunnewell It will be remembered that Mr. Hunnewell was second officer on board the brig, " Thaddeus," in 1820, which brought the pioneer missionaries to these islands, and was the person who first announced to the missionaries, that the Tabus were broken, and idolatry abolished. Rev. Richard Croker.—We were glad to form the acquaintance of this gentleman, who is chaplain on board H. B. M. S. I'iffey, one of the ships of the Flying Squadron. It was gratifying to find our own views and methods of laboring among seamen so exactly to harmonize with one who is now senior chaplain in the British navy, and who will retire at the close of the present cruise. We listened to a sermon which he preached in the English Church, and found in doctrinal views he followed in the footsteps of Romaine, Thomas Scott, Leigh Richmond, Simeon, Newton, and thst goodly company of evangelical clergymen who have preached within the fold of the English Church. In regard to seamen, he labors to keep them supplied with useful and entertaining reading matter during their long voyage.

As I stood there reflecting, as did the historian Gibbon, when he sat amid the ruins of Rome, and recalled the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, it required no very vivid stretch of the imagination to adorn Mount Morinh once more with the temple of Solomon, the most costly and magnificent structure of the old world. I seemed to see Jerusalem, as in the days of her glory and splendor, when the Queen of Sheba visited Israel's King, and found that the half had not been told her respecting the wisdom of the King, the richness, splendor and magnificence of his court and palace, in which there was " a throne of ivory overlaid with pure gold ;" where, in the language of the sacred historian, " all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart, and they brought every man his present, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, rate year by year. And when the King made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones." Alas, "how hath the gold become dim, and the most fine gold changed." 1 reflected, too, upon the glory and splendor of this city of the great King, even in the days of our Saviour, when that famous temple was in existence, which was "forty and six years" in building. This latter was the temple in which our Saviour preached, and respecting which he prophecied that one .none should not be left upon another, which should not be thrown down. During my sojourn I walked about the ancient city and marked her bulwarks. I considered her palaces. I contemplated the holy city from several points of observation. I viewed it from Olivet, from Bethpage and Bethany ; from the hills of Judea and when approaching it from the south, after a visit There is no uncertainty to Bethlehem. respecting the identity of the spot. On Mount Zion itself stands a tower or castle, called the "Tower of David." On ascending that tower, from its lofty battlements, a panoramic view may easily be taken of the city and the surrounding country. To the west stretch far away the barren and treeless hills of Judea. On the cast rises the ever memorable Mount of Olives, from the summit of which our divine Saviour ascended to heaven. While nearer, and within the city walls, is Mount Moriah, upon which once stood the temple of Solomon, but where now is to be seen the Mosque of Omah. What memories arc awakened by a view of these ; �M». JIL V , 18.0. 61 TH X Xli I X hallowed spots ? Centuries have rolled away and generations have come and gone, yet there remain the same Mounts. It was pleasant, but sad, to look forth upon these consecrated sites, where once stood so many grand edifices. While everywhere I found much to interest, instruct and impress the thoughtful and reflective mind, there was one spot which, in a special manner, arrested my attention. I refer to that street running along the walls of the ancient foundations of Solomon's temple. There, on every Friday, for centuries, have congregated the descendants of Abraham, to lament and wail over the desolation and ruins of the temple, and the sad profanation now reigning there, in consequence of the Mohammedans who have erected a mosque on the spot where once stood Solomon's temple. There I witnessed the tears of the wailing Jews, and listened to their sad complaints. No one looking upon their sorrowful countenances could doubt their sincerity, or fail to to be impressed by their flowing tears. of their temple, ' in the " At theof destruction another, broke forth a wail' from words the hapless Jews, more sad than any their own sorrows had ever occasioned. It was repeated in desolate Galilee and wild Judea ; in the distant synagogues of Alexandria and Rome. It has never ceased. It still breaks forth from every Jewish heart; and the most touching spectacle of Modern Jerusalem is that of the cowering Israelites amidst the brutality of Turkish soldiers and the mockeries of Armenian boys, wailing over the crumbling foundations of what was once the most hallowed of earthly shrines." Oh ! how mysterious and unaccountable the fate of the Jew, when viewed from any other stand-point than that of their ancient prophecies ! They are still God's chosen people, and most surely it must be a part of his great plan and purpose, in regard to his once peculiar and chosen people, that they should be thus kept a separate nation. Their present existence as a kingdom without a king, and a nation without any visible organization, is one of those standing miracles which ought to confound the infidel and silence the sceptic in Divine Revelation. Surely, something rich and glorious must still be in store for the descendants of Abraham. Not a few eminent divines of even the present day hold to the opinion, that they are yet to be gathered once more in Palestine. This is one of the questions which much interested me during all my journeyings, not only while in the sacred city, but through the Orient, for you meet the Jews everywhere, ming ling among the nations, yet separate from them. Not more strange would have been the fact for certain drops of water, as they were cast into the ocean centuries ago, to have remained separate and distinct; hence the peculiar interest which attaches itself to the Jewish people. There is no such spot on earth as Jerusalem. There dwelt David and the long line of kings. There our Saviour spent the most eventful portion of his life, and there he was finally crucified, and there the Jew prayed " let Him be crucified, iind his blood be on us and our children." May it not be that God has answered that prayer? May it not be that the sorrows and sufferings of the Jews for eighteen centuries arc "really owing to the fearful part which their ancestors took in the rejection and cru- hymn commencing with the following cifixion of our Lord ?

I have endeavoured, erroneous and absurd, that a man cannot in visiting Europe, America, Asia and Africa, tell who are Christians, and who are not; to keep this one object constantly in view, and besides, there are so many sects in the viz : to enquire in every place, city, or town world, a person knows hardly which to join. which I visited, what was the stale and con- Suppose, for argument's sake, that in Engdition of the Church of Christ, or what was land, as asserted, there are one hundred and the condition of Zion'.' What progress the twenty seven different sects of Christians, (iospel wasi making? What obstacles it had would it be safe to infer that among them to encounter? To what extent the Gospel all an enquirer after truth must for ever rewas preached ? How general was the at- main in doubt, because he could not ascertendance upon the preaching of the Word? tain which is right and which is wrong. Was there any tendency among Christians of various sects and denominations, for greater union and harmony? Have the minds of Christians real grounds for the belief that the Gospel will become universally spread abroad? Is the cause of domestic and foreign missions upon an increase or decline ? What is the state and condition of schools and colleges ? To obtain reliable information upon all these topics, 1 have attended upon the preaching of the ministers of various denominations, both orthodox and heterodox ; I have visited numerous schools, colleges and universities, from those of the humblest and most primary, to the old and venerable Oxford and Cambridge of Old England ; I have made the acquaintance, when visiting lands bordering on the Mediterranean Sea, of missionaries of various societies, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Congregational, Jewish, and nlso made the acquaintance of some ecclesiastics of the Romish Church, the Coptic. Church, and the Jews. 1 have sought information not only from the friends of Gospel truth, but even from her enemies; believing with the old Roman poet, that " truth may be obtained from an enemy." I can hardly describe to you the pleasure derived from listening to so many preachers, some o( them now occupying the first rank as orators and divines, including a Spurgeon, a Beechcr, u Cummings, a Barnes, and many others of lesser fame, but perhaps of equal usefulness. I listened to these men, not merely as noted preachers, but as the representatives of a large class or number of earnest and successful preachers, who are labouring in their respective spheres, and preaching, in their respective pulpits, the Such a conclusion is utterly absurd ; scores of those sects hold the essential truths of the Gospel. They agree on many more points than they differ. Yes, I honestly believe there is an increasing unity among all true Christians. There is a drawing together, a gradual advance towards union upon all the essentials of ChrUtianity. The signs of the times are hopeful to one who walks about Zion, ready to recognize the followers of Christ wherever he may find them, although not of his particular sect and denomination. Prejudice, bigotry and sectarianism are giving place to more enlarged, noble and correct views of Christian life and duty. 1 entertain no idea that all Christians will be united under one banner. 1 see no good and sufficient reason why they should. They may agree to disagree, and still " hold the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." This is what they are doing more and more. In my walks about Zion, and in a contemof her bulwarks and palaces, I think can discern the dawning of a better and a brighter day. 1 see the working of moral forces which must eventually bring about a far more desirable stute of affairs in church and state. 1 was hopeful for the future as I stood on the Mount of Olives, and read the narrative of our Saviour's last interview with his disciples. I was hopeful for the future as I stood on Mars' Hill, and heard read the sermon of Paul, as recorded in the 17th of Acts. I was hopeful for the future whenever I met Christian missionaries and earnest Christians of any sect or denomination who were labouring, each in his own way, to build up Zion. " More are they who are for us than those who arc against us." I considered, in flatiou my walks, how wonderfully God can make the wrath of man to praise Him, and how successfully God can, through the aid of His people, pull down the kingdom of Satan, and upon its ruins erect u Kingdom to His praise. From the ruins of the Colosseum have been taken the materials to build many a Christian temple. Just so, I see that God is pulling down the strongholds of Satan's empire, and causing to be erected upon its ruins a temple more glorious than the Colosseum or the Parthenon, or St. Peter's or St. Paul's. In walkingabout Zion, it requires no very penetrating effort of the human mind, under a Divine influence, to discern that Cod is now causing towers and bulwarks to bo erected around his spiritual Zion, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. 1 have no fears for the future. The spirit of trade, commerce and science, is potent, and often antagonistic to the spirit of the Gospel, but I do know that God is able to shape and control that spirit in such a manner, that the influence of commerce and science will contribute to the upbuilding of that Kingdom which shall never be destroyed. When men live and labor for many long years in one sphere and doing over and over again the same class of duties, they are liable to become narrow-minded and contracted in their opinions and views. They come to think of themselves much higher than they ought to think. It is advantageous to go abroad and compare viewsand opinions with your fellow men and fellow Christians. As Paul declared on Mars' Hill, God " hath made of one blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth." We are too much inclined to lose sight of this great and cardinal truth of Christianity. Losing sight of this truth, men—Christian men, become narrow-minded, sectarian, and bigotted. We need to become better acquainted with each other, and with what God is doing in the world. Travel, when undertaken from right motives, and made profitable, is highly calculated to correct such views. It was pleasant to me, in my walks about Zion, and through other lands when the time came to direct my steps homewaid. Hither my thoughts always tended. I thought of my church, my parish, and the people among whom my lot had been cast lor so many years. Here 1 had spent more than half my life, and nearly all of my professional life, and always found enough to do in my Master's field, and not a few ready to co-operate with me in building up Zion, erecting fier towers, strengthening her bulwarks, and adorning her palaces. I utter it not exultingly or boastfully, but here I may honestly say, that from the commencement of my ministry I have found a sphere of usefulness in which I was permitted to labor hopefully and heartily. I desired to come back, and surely I find, on my return, much for which to be truly grateful. Having traveled half around the globe and returned in safety, I am profoundly impressed with the feeling sense of my obligation to God for his goodness, his loving kindness and tender merry. On my return I do not find city and people just as I left them ; removals and change:-, sickness and death, have been busy at work.

Waterhouse, Esq.—In a recent number of " The Watchman and Wesleyan Advertiser," published in London May 18th, we notice that our fellow-townsman was present at the laying the corner stone of a new Wesleyan Chapel. He made some remarks stating " that fifty years ago his father was engaged in promoting the building of the chapel they had just pulled down." From the report of the proceedings, it appears that Mr. W. " presented to Sir Francis Lycett a very handsome silver trowel, with which the corner stone was duly laid." Having so recently visited the town where this new chapel is to be built, and having worshipped in the " old chapel," now pulled down, we feel a personal interest in the enterprise, and most heartily wish it success. It only required a little longer residence in old England, to have awakened in our mind as lively an interest in the local and social, national and philanthropic enterprises, as we feel in those of our native, or adopted land. Dedication of Good Templars' Hall.— Converting the " Main Hotel" into a " Good Templars' Hall," is surely a step in the right direction. If the conversion had occurred years ago, it would have saved many sorrows and tears, and much wasted wealth. We learn that the " Queen Emma" Lodge assisted the " Ultima Thule " Lodge, in the dedication, and about one hundred and forty members were present. After the dedicatory exercises were closed, all sat down to a sumptuously spread table. We are Tejoiced also to learn that the members are permitted to be joined by their wives, who participate in the business affairs of the association, and we are sure they will reap its rewards and benefits. Much good have Good Templars " already accomplished in "Honolulu, and we hope their future prosperity and success will throw their past triumphs into the shade. Chines Evening School.—The school, blished by Mr. Aheong, before leaving Jhina, is still continued, and is taught Ir. DunscorOjbe. Persons having Chiin their employment, it is hoped, will urage them to avail themselves of the ileges of this school. Hitherto, the teacher has been quite successful in teachChinese the rudiments of the English ruage. ■ We would thankfully acknowledge from C. C. Bennett, Esq., a copy of his valuable Sketches of Hawaiian History and Hono"lulu Directory, 1869." It abounds with information, and strangers wishing to inform themselves about the city and the Islands, should secure a copy, which maybe obtained at toe office of Bennett's Own. Princely Donation to Missions.—At the recent anniversary meeting of the London Missionary Society, it was announced that Sir Francis Crossley, M. P., had contributed £20,000 to the Society's funds. 1 S 10. No Kain at the Guano Islands.—Mr. Edwards recently arrived from Howland's, one of the Guano Islands, informs us, that for many months there has been no rain ; whereas, formerly, during the same season, there were abundant rains. We hear, also, of the want of rain in other parts of the world ; Syria, lor example,— where, formerly, rains were abundant. Before we adopt the conclusion with some, that the Sandwich Islands are to become a rainless region of the globe, let us wait and gather more data, and not jump at inferences without a proper study of facts, here and elsewhere, upon the earth.

He has made the tour of over a considerable portion Oahu.and traveled of Maui and Hawaii, visiting and holding meetings with his countrymen, and distributing books among them. When in Honolulu, in addition to visiting from house to house, and among the Chinese shops, he has held religious services in the Bethel, Sabbath evening, with an attendance varying from fifty to eighty Chinamen. Five Chinese have united with the church by profession the past year. One with Bethel Church, one with Kawaiahao, one witli Kaneohe, one with Hilo, and one with the church at Lanai. Seven others, Mr. Aheong thinks, give evidence of having become Christians. Through Mr. Aheong's efforts $250 were contributed to the fund for the erection of the buildings for the Board- ingSchoolat Makawao.by theChinese. The school taught by Mr. Dunscombe in Honolulu, has been continued with an average attendance of 12 scholars. Our Board appropriated in aid of this school $200 for one year. The year closed with the month of February, and no new appropriation has been made by the Board for the school, but from the first of March it has been continued by a tuition paid by those attending. Mr. Aheong thinks there has been, during the year, an addition of nearly one hundred to the Chinese population of the Islands, making the whole Chinese population in the Islands about fifteen hundred. The increase has been by immigration from China and California, and very few, he soys, have left the Islands. The Hawaiian schools established in different parts of the Islands for the Chinese have been nearly all discontinued, chiefly for the want of teachers, but partly from the laborers not finding time to attend school. The total amount paid this year for our Chinese work has been $1,245.75. To meet this, $323.45 have been contributed for Chinese work ; the remainder has been paid from our own funds. All from purely Hawaiian sources, except $35.20. Mr. Aheong with his family has left the Islands on a visit to his friends in China, to be absent one year. Theological School. The Theological School at Wailuku, was commenced in July, 1863, and has been continued for seven years, during which time five classes have entered the school. The whole number who have entered is sixtytwo ; just half of whom, thirty-one, have entered the ministry, and twelve others may be expected to enter who have not finished their course of study. Five only of those who have left trie school, have gone on Foreign Missions. The instructor says, there are however several candidates who "wish to be sent either to Micronesia or to the Marquesas Islands. Five have died." The studies in the school have been Didactic Theology and Church Government, Church History, Exposition of the Bible, the composition and delivery of sermons, and once a week a theological debate. The students have been much employed in the churches ofWailuku, Waikapu and Waihee, to aid in preaching, in Sabbath-schools and VKIK N U , JULY, 15.0. in other efforts in doing good to the people. They have thus far been supported chiefly by the hospitality of the people of Wailiiku and that region, and by their own industry. One hundred and live dollars only have been expended from the funds of the Board on the school the last year. The instructor has gone to California lor a visit of three or four months, during which time the school is suspended. Female Filuc.ation. The last Annual Report of the Board gave an encouraging account of the condition of the Waialua school for girls. It stated •' that the pupils came together with promptitude after a vacation of two and a half months ; the number has averaged about seventy during the year. The buildings are in a satisfactory condition and the institution has accommodations comfortable for seventyfive pupils." Much to the regret of this Board, on the 21st of June, 1869, Rev. O. H. Gulick, who commenced the school, and for six years had most faithfully and successfully conducted all its affairs, sent into our Board his resignation as Principal of the Seminary. He however continued his services till the close of the year, when the school was discontinued and has not been reopened. The amount expended for the school for the part of the school year it was in operation from June to December 31st, is $1,475. In accordance with a recommendation of the Committee on Education, to whom was referred the subject of changes in Waialua Seminary, it has been placed under a Board of Trustees, consisting of S. N. Castle, C. R. Bishop, J. Mott Smith, G. P. Judd and E. P. Church. PtMicationa. We have, during the past year, received from the American Bible Society a part of the new pocket edition of the New Testament and Psalms. These Testaments and Psalms have been much called for, and those in the cheapest bindings have all been disposed of, and many more might have been sold if we had had them in the Depository. This edition of the New Testament was prepared by the American Bible Society, under the superintendence of Rev. E. W. Clark. For more than half of the year past, we have had none of thewibles in the cheap bindings. This we regret, for both the Bibles and Testaments are often inquired for. The circulation of the Alaula has been somewhat smaller than that of the previous year. About 2460 copies have been taken, making 118,080 pages. It is desirable that the circulation of this paper be increased, and it is believed it might be, if more effort was made by the pastors and Sabbath-school superintendents. We have added one new question book for the use of Sabbath-schools—No. 5, prepared by Rev. O. H. Gulick. Some new works, prepared for the press, were taken to the United States by Dr. Gulick, with the hope that he would arrange with some of the publishing societies for printing them. In a letter lately received he writes, " I am happy to report that I have made good progress in arranging for the publication of the several important works now ready for the press. I am almost certain the American Tract Society, New York, will prepare gratuitously the electrotype plates of the Bible Dictionary, and Bible Text Book. Regarding the Commentary and Hymn Book, and the Hymn and Tune Book, the Tract Society will doubtless be willing to print them at cost price." We hope these books will soon be in the hands of pastors, students, and Sabbathschool teachers. We have, this year, printed in these islands, in four languages, fourteen, different publications ; four in the Hawaiian, one in the Marquesan, seven in the Gilbert Island language, and two in Ponapean, making a total of 1,557,200 pages, besides which we have received from the presses of the American Bible Society about 413,190 pages. There have been put in circulation on these islands 1,344,432 pages of Hawaiian in book form during the year, besides what is equal to 118,080 pages of Alaula, and about 21,260 pages of Chinese works. Our gratuitous circulation of our own publications is as follows: Bibles and Testaments, 25,240 pages ; bound volumes, 34,-625 pages ; tracts, 12,079 pages. Our total expenditure for book department is $3,405.32, of which $500 is from the American Board— $2,401.61 avails of books, and from our own treasury $1,003.71. We lay before the Association, tables prepared by Mr. Warren Chamberlain, the clerk of our book department, showing the circulation of our books and newspaper.

FOREIGN DEPARTMENT. The Morning Star left Honolulu July Bth, 1869, on her third voyage to Micronesia. It proved to be her last voyage. She carried out the largest reinforcement of missionaries the Board has sent to this Mission. It consisted of four new missionaries and their wives, Rev. H. Aea and wife, returning to their former field of labor, and Rev, J. F. Pogue, as Delegate of the Board to its Missions in Micronesia. The outward voyage was prosperous. The several Missions were visited. Meetings of the Missions were held for counsel and for fellowship, and much 4 good was dene. It was providentially ordered that the Morning Star shou/jd land all the missionaries and the yearly supplies for the families on the various islands,and accomplish nearly all the work of the voyage, —then was wrecked on Strong's Island October 18,1869.

This, if I mistake not, is the first native of Micronesia ordained to the work of the gospel and pastor of a church. There are four church buildings on the island. The people can all read and join in the songs of Zion. Mr. Doane is the only missionary now on the Island of Ponape. There arc five churches on the island; two on the north side under the care of Mr. Doane, and three on the south, under the cqre of Mr. Sturges. There have been additions to all of them during the past year. Mr. Doane has continued his school, during his wife's absence, with good results. Mr. Sturges writes: That the church at Kiti has generally "done well under the care of a native teacher. There have been added the last year eight persons to this church." In a distressing storm, December, 1868, the church building at the station was blown down, with most of the other buildings. The church was soon rebuilt by the people. Mr. Sturges has spent most of his time at Owa, in the Metalanim tribe. This may become the main station instead of the one at Kiti. During the year, the people have been engaged in building a stone church, which greatly improves their condition externally. The house was dedicated during the visit of the Morning Star. Four have united with this church by profession this year. Mr. Sturges' school has prospered, having an average attendance of seventy-five. A Sabbath-school celebration was held in the new church on the 4th of July; all the schools on the island were well represented, and a new impulse was given to the work. There was also an examination of the schools during the visit of the Morning Star. The scholars generally had advanced. The heathen party remain obstinate, but are diminishing in numbers. The population of the island is 6,000 or more, half of which belong to the Christian party. No letters or reports have been received from Mr. Doane. They were lost with the Morning Star. It is a promising feature in this Mission that native teachers and helpers are enlisted in the work, though none have been ordained. Two churches are under the care of natives. The Marquesas Islands.

The vessel returned, arriving at Honolulu on the 28th of May. Rev. S. Kauwealoha came passensenger, chiefly to attend the Semi-centennial Missionary Jubilee. This is in accordance with an invitation sent to him last year from our Board. He has been seventeen years in the Mission field. There was no general meeting of that Mission this year, but besides the presence �68 THE of one of the pioneers of the Mifsion with us, we have letters and reports from .fach of the Brethijuj there. The Brethren pf this Mission maL*t Puamau, on the island of Hivapa, in July last, and formed an Association which was called " The Marquesas Kp*Tigelical Association." Each church in the islands, except the one in Uapou, was represented at that meeting by pastor and delegate, or if no pastor by delegate. Several important topics, relating to schools and churches, and to the Mission work generally, were discussed. A copy of the minutes of the meeting was sent to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Board. We regard the formation of theAssociation with much satisfaction. It is an advance in the right direction. Kaiwi, of the station at Omoa, writes that, in accordance with a resolution passed at the last general meeting of the Mission, he commenced a school for adults, the design of which is to prepare teachers. He has twelve scholars in this school ; in his day shcool he has thirty-four scholars. Hapuku, of the station at Atuona, reports FRIEND,, J(J LV.

He was very useful to the pioneer missionaries in their acquiring the language, in preparing school books, and in translating the Scriptures. He was an active, zealous and humble Christian. The last two or three years of his life, he preached the Gospel to the people at Ewa, and was very much beloved by them. In the month of April, he was taken, sick with a fever, and died in the triumphs offaith on the 2nd of May. Perhaps we ought to mention here the death of the Rev. H. Bingham, one of the pioneers of this mission. For, last year, the Hawaiian Board sent him a cordial-invitation to come and aid us in celebrating the Jubilee of this mission. He had resolved to comply with their invitation; bidWtod in His providence interfered, and caned him ! 36? 1(14 21 | 8 16 I ' 17 2.1 $j 75 36 96 1366 71 j 28 52 6 75 away from time into eternity. He died on the 11th of last November, after a brief illness of only three days. The Hawaiian Evangelical Association has been highly favored on this occasion by the timely visit of Dr. N. G. Clark, Foreign Secretary of the American Board in Boston. He has expressed great satisfaction in the success of the Hawaiian Mission. And wo trust that his public addresses and private counsels will be of lasting benefit to all the members of the Association. Our best wishes go with him on his return to the United States. The visit also of the Rev. S. Kauwealaha from the Marquesas Mission, where he has been laboring for seventeen years, has added much to the interest of this anniversary. His remarks and exhortations, both on home and foreign missions, have been ex- ceedingly interesting. The Rev. S. P. Aheong, who labored hi.-1 year as our missionary among the Chinese upon these Island's, has gone with his family �69 JULY, 1870.

Gulick closed his labors as Principal of the Waialua Female Boarding School, and dismissed the scholars for a long vacation. It is now uncertain when the school will be again revived, for want of a Principal, and suitable teachers. The Trustees of the Makawao Seminary have commenced building a new schoolhouse, to supply the place of the one which was burnt down last year. We have hope, therefore, that that seminary will soon be in operation again. Your Committee make a brief report on the Government day schools. By the reports of the different pastors of this association, there are some things quite favorable. In some of the day schools, the improvement is quite obvious. BOARDING SCHOOLS. It appears from the reports of the teachers of the boarding schools now in operation, that these schools are now in a prosperous condition; especially the school at Hilo, under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr. Lyman. INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS. The children in the independent schools are increasing in knowledge and strength, according to the wishes of their parents. It is a matter of rejoicing to this association, that there is so much Christian influence exerted upon these schools at this time. BIBLES AND TESTAMENTS. Your Committee can state that in some of the parishes, a considerable number of books have been purchased the past year; while, in other parishes, a very few have been called for. The pastors ought all to be very zealous in exhorting their people to supply themselves with books. NEWSPAPERS. need of the reviving influences of the Holy Spirit. Your Committee, therefore, would exhort all the members of this association that we all repent and humble ourselves before God, and put away our sins. Let us not trust in our own wisdom and strength, but get low before God then we may expect that he will send down upon us, and upon our churches the rain of His Holy Spirit, and His rich blessing. : ABSTRACT OF THE MINUTES OF THE Seventh Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, JUNE, 1870.

Wheeler and Wilson's sewing machines were for sale in Turin and Bologna. We have seen one shoemaker in Brindisi at work with an American sewing machine. The railroad is now infusing new life and energy among the people in this remote part of Italy. During our brief sojourn of two days in Brindisi, we have been fully occupied, not only in viewing the present habits and customs of the people, but also in making enquiriesrespecting the antiquities of so ancient and renowned a city as Brindisi, or Brundusium. Here the poet, Virgil, died, B. C. 19 ; September 22nd. He was on his return from Greece to Rome. His body was conveyed to Naples. In our endeavour to ascertain what could be learned respecting the ancient ruins of the city, we have been much aided by Professor Giacomo Janonico Rubini, for 22 years teacher in the Gymnasium of Brindisi. He is now a priest in one of the churches of the city, of which he is also a native. As he speaks English, and is uncommonly genial and communicative, it has afforded us a great amount of pleasure to accompany him through the city and its suburbs, and also in our visits to the churches, and now deserted monastery. He was professor of mathematics and rhetoric, and has a brother now professor of mathematics in Naples. It was evidently with no small degree of sadness that Professor Rubini alluded to the confiscation of the church property, and the abolition of the monasteries and nunneries. He, however, accepts the situation, and endeavors to make the best of the change. In reference to the old Roman age, it was most instructive to hear him discourse. Today he pointed out to us, on the opposite aide of the harbor, in the garden of the Russian Consul, the stone, with its inscriptions, which marks the spot where a Roman Consul was buried, by the name of Cocceius. We also heard him quote the following line of Horace, referring both to the Appian way and the settlement of the dispute between Antony and Augustus: I M. 1 .n 1 . I 81 0. ers and armies started for Rome, across the Apennines. It was from this port that, in the days of the Crusaders, such vast multitudes of those misguided men embarked, no more to return, for the recovery of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the lisfidel. Here, too, the Templars of Malta had a branch of their order established, and Professor Rubini pointed out to us the remains of an edifice where the Templars held their meetings. There is still standing in the city a Pillar, or Column, about fifty feet high, that was erected in the 11th century. The house in which, tradition says, Virgil died, is situated near this Column. Brindisi has a public library, nnd through it we were conducted by Professor Rubini, who kindly pointed out to us various Roman relics which had been recently discovered while excavations were forward for laying the railroad. We also examined several very curious and most neatly executed ancient manuscripts. There was one work of special interest to which our attention was called : we refer to the " Biblia Sacra Polyglotta," in 6 volumes, published in London, during the protectorate of Cromwell, 1657. Thomas Waltonus was editor, nnd Thomas Roycraft was the publisher. This is a work of great interest, and it was amusing to see how some antiCromwellian scholar had most carefully pasted a line of Latin, in the Latin preface, over the name of the illustrious protector, Oliver Cromwell. This exhibition of petty spite exceedingly amused the professor as well as ourselves. The name of Cromwell now, 1869, stands very differently among even staunch supporters of the English throne, from what it did in 1669. During our late visit to Bunhill Cemetery, in London, we noticed with interest that the Lord Mayor of London had recently ordered a tomb of one of the sons of Cromwell to be restored. If the body of Cromwell could be found, we are not sure but a monument would be erected over it, in the city of London, by order of Her Majesty's Govern- , ment. But we have wandered from Brindisi, where we are now making our preparations to embark this evening for Alexandria in Egypt, thatpar excellence is "the old coun- try"—that fountain, whence the stream of learning has been flowing for more than three thousand years, through Palestine, Greece, Rome, and so down through all the modern nations ofEurope to America. We cannot close our notice of Brindisi, without referring in terms of much commendation and respect to the attentions we have received from James R.

CambridgEngland. Uenvrsity, O"0ur readers will pardon us for inserting the following letter, written during our brief sojourn in London, after our return from the shores of the Mediterranean. A brief sketch of our visit to Oxford was published in the June number of our sheet. London, Feb. 12, 1870. To-day it is very cold, Mv and the streets are deserted except by those necessarily called abroad on labor or business. I feel quite inclined to remain quietly at our temporary English home, where I enjoy the society of the family of Captain Holdsworth, our old neighbour at Honolulu. How can I employ a few moments more agreeably, than by giving you a brief sketch of yesterday, the day I spent at Cambridge, dear , visiting the old University ? Cambridge is situated fifty-six miles northeast from London. I left in the train at 8 o'clock, a. m., and arrived there about 10. Having in my possession a letter of introduction to Mr. E. C. Sterling ofTrinity, now pursuing his medical studies at the University, 1 repaired to that college, and soon learned that he was attending a lecture, and would not be at leisure until 1 o'clock p. m. On sending to the neighboring hotel, I obtained a cicerone who is accustomed to conduct strangers about Cambridge. I gave him to understand that the object of my visit was remarkable places in and about Cambridge, visit several of the Colleges, and walk through the library buildings and chapels. We immediately started upon our to see the rambles. We first visited Jesus College. This was originally built for a nunnery, in the reign of Henry 11, but converted into a college in 1497. It has been suffered to become much dilapidated ; but within a few years the buildings have been extensively repaired, and the chape) rebuilt. This college has 104 undergraduates. Here let me inform you that Oxford and Cambridge Universities are constructed upon entirely different principles from our American Colleges, or Universities. Perhaps I can give you no better idea of Cambridge University than by asking you to imagine all the colleges of New England gathered and crowded together in the town of Amherst. Now, at Cambridge there are no less than eighteen different colleges. All form the University of Cambridge. The peculiar government and organization of this grand old institution, furnishes a most admirable illustration of the organization and government of the United States of America. Our separate States correspond to the separate colleges, and when all are united, they form a good idea of our general Government, or �75 1U E rll E N I), \V<tU S T, 187 0. the United States of America. When undergraduates are residing in Cambridge, they speak of themselves as members of this or that college, viz: "a St. John's man," " a Trinity man," " Caius man ;" but when they have graduated and gone abroad into the world, they are no longer " Trinity," or Caius," or St. John's" men, but Cambridge men. It is somewhat so with American citizens; when at home, they are citizens of Massachusetts, or Ohio, or Illinois, or South Carolina ; but when abroad they are American citizens. The parallel might be still further carried out, if 1 had the time and space. The University of Oxford will furnish an equally good illustration of the Republic of North America. The following are the names of the several colleges, w-ith the number of students attached " to " each. Trinity, with undergradduates, St. John's Corpus Christi „ „ Caius ,, Trinity Hall Christ's Jesus Emmanuel Clare Sydney Queen's Magdalene Pembroke St. Peter's St. Catherine's King's Downing Non-ascripti „ ,, „ „ „ „ „ ,, „ „ „ 559 377 151 126 119 114 104 100 75 71 62 62 56 55 89 42 38 6 2170 The method of instruction and discipline is so very unlike that adopted in our American colleges that it would require a volume to render the subject intelligible. While there, I enquired of the young gentleman to whom I was introduced, " can you recommend any book which will explain the government of the University, and method ol instruction ?" He replied, " the very best book on Cambridge was written by one of your countrymen, Mr. Everett, a graduate of Trinity." "What, do you refer to the volume entitled On the Cam ?' " " To be sure," ' was his reply. I recollect reading this book, before leaving Honolulu. It was the American edition, but I find a new and English edition has recently been published in London. I would recommend you to read that book and I purchased for you a copy at Cambridge. Young Everett, after graduating at " old Harvard," came over to England and entered Cambridge, where he remained through the regular course, graduating with high honors. After returning to Boston, he delivered a course of lectures before the Lowell Institute. These were published under the title " On the Cam, or University Life at Cambridge." Mr. Everett is a son of thelate Hon. Edward Everett of Boston. But I have broken ofTthe narration of my rambles under my Cicerone. After leaving Jesus College, we visited the parish church of All Saints, for the purpose of inspecting a monument, erected to Henry Kirk White. This church contains the grave of the much lamented youthful poet. It was somewhat gratifying to my national vanity to learn from the old sexton of the church, that this monument was erected by an American gentleman, by the name of Boott. I learn from a Cambridge guide book, that this monument was executed by Chantrey, and exhi" bits, within a medallion, the portrait of the poet in bas-relief." There is a poetical inscription upon the monument from the pen of Professor Smyth. The inscription is too long for me to quote entire, but it closes thus : far o'er th' Atlantic wave, A wanderer came, and sought the poet's grave, On yonlow atone he saw his lonely name, And raised this fondmemorial to his fame." Jesus College is situated in the suburbs of Cambridge. Returning from my walk in that direction, I was conducted to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is an edifice of great antiquity, having been consecrated A. D. 1101. It is considered one of the notable structures of Cambridge. It has been restored within a few years, and doubtless furnishes a good specimen of the Norman style of architecture. From thence I wandered through various courts and grounds belonging to King's, St. John's, and Trinity Colleges. I cannot describe each, but suffice it, I was exceedingly pleased with the venerable and time-honored appearance of these ancient seats of learning. The weather was so severe, that but few students were seen abroad except those going or returning, with a hurried pace, from their lecture room, or from some locality where they might find good skating I was much interested in viewing the University Library, containing upwards of 400,000 printed books, and about 3,000 manuscripts. There I saw the famous manuscript of the four gospels, and the book of Acts, on vellum, in Greek and Latin. With the exception of a manuscript in the Vatican Library, at Rome, this is regarded as the most ancient. There also I saw a famous and splendid Persian manuscript, dating as far back as 1388. I was pleased to see how admirably this library was lighted. While walking through the dining hall of Trinity, and viewing a number of portraits of patrons, and graduates of this college, my attention was arrested by the modest and unambitious portrait of the saintly Henry Martyn. There was no one among the illustrious worthies of Trinity, whose portrait interested me so much. His character may not find admirers among the generality of Cambridge graduates and under graduates but I am sure no one name is more honored throughout the Church universal than that of Henry Martvn, or amonz; tbe tbousands wbo Kave claimed tbe liooor of from (Cambridge Universitv.

The remainder of the day was spent in free conversation respecting University-life at Cambridge, in contrast with the life of an undergraduate in American colleges. They had many enquiries to make, while 1 had not a few in turn, which gave rise to much pleasant chat. Upon this point I became fully satisfied that Cambridge, with all its advantages and privileges, is not to remain where it now is, butchanges are contemplated. Even now, a notice is published in the newspapers, that young ladies will bo admitted to the privileges and lectures of the University. At the present sitting of Parliament a bill is to be introduced, allowing the sons of Dissenters to enter their names for University honors. The general impression abroad in England, is that the expenses are too much, and steps will soon be taken for their reduction. At present, the annual expenses of undergraduates range from £250 to £400, or $1,250 to 2.000. But I have already protracted my letter much longer thnn I designed, and yet I could easily write as much more. During all my wanderings in foreign lands, the subject of education has constantly occupied my mind ; hence, in Egypt, Palestine, Greece, and Italy, I visited nil the schools and colleges which fell in my way. While the young student may enjoy many advantages and privileges in these old lands, yet I am fully convinced that the young collegian in a New England college may obtain as good an education, to fit him for the duties of life, in this practical age, as those who are pursuing their studies in Cambridge, or any other equally favored European University. So vivid arc my recollections of Amherst, that I will not admit her inferiority among the colleges of America, or the world. To be sure, she has not the glory of antiquity, but she has the vigor of youth, ripening into the glory of manhood. Her Alumni, at home and abroad, reflect honor upon their Alma Mater, and I trust you will do your part in sustaining the honor of the college, and in elevating the character of her scholarship. Yours truly, S. C. Damon. P. S. Feb. 14.—Yesterday I heard the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon, and was exceedingly pleased.

We do not discover from our reading and study of the Bible, that God has given up his claim to one-seventh part of time as "holy time," or has annulled his command given upon Sinai. Until he does, we should be very cautious how we alter or modify it, any more than we should the 6th, "Thou shalt not kill," or the Bth, " Thou shall not steal." The French Revolutionists in 1793 abolished the Sabbath by law, and appointed every tenth day for relaxation and amusement. The shock was so violent and alarming, that public sentiment compelled the legislative authority to restore the Christian Sabbath. The more closely we maintain the observance of the Sabbath, the better will public morals and the welfare of the community be conserved. We do not approve of the Beecher theory as published in the A deerUser of the 30th of July. It is just such a theory as will sanction all sorts of railroad and steamboat desecration. No such theory gave the Christian Sabbath to Old or New England, or Hawaii nci. Give up the strict observance of the Sabbath, and the flood gates of sin are thrown wide open. Our space will not allow us to go more fully into this subject at present, but we could no sooner be persuaded to give up the Holy Sabbath than we could the Bible, or the marriage institution. The sooner we come back to Bible ground upon the subject of marriage and the Sabbath the better. Our renders will learn from reading in another column of the Friend, that the Rev. Dr. Lang thinks the Continent of America was peopled by the way of Easter Island. Since that article was put into type, We have received a communication from Ohio, in which the theory is advanced that America was peopled by the lost ten tribes of the Jews. We quote as follows " You may possibly remember that one part of my business while at Honolulu (this visit occurred in 1850) was collecting evidence touching the long missing ten tribes of the Hebrews. Before and since I saw you, it has been my lot to collect much information on this subject. It seems to me that there are evidences existing to establish the following statements. Ist. From more than eighty items of evidence, it may be inferred that the Indians of America are descendants of the ten tribes. 2d.

CuVEnepagrodpliisncth.t Eyre. As the Friend circulates among seamen of all nations navigating the Pacific, we have most scrupulously avoided expressing any opinion with reference to the conduct of Captain Eyre, of the lUnnbay, until the facts should be duly investigated and decided upon in England. We have carefully read every thing which has appeared in both American and English papers. From the general tone of the English papers, we felt confident, that if Captain Eyre was really guilty of gross negligence, he would receive a verdict from his own countrymen, which would be most severe. That verdict has been pronounced, and the London Times asserts it to be the general opinion of the English nation. That verdict is embodied in the fol- lowing paragraph :— The London Times says, " The correspondence relative to the collision between the Oneida and the Bombay, and the offi- cial notes and evidence in the inquiry held at Yokohama, have just been printed by order of the House of Commons, and every one has the opportunity of learning the facts and judging the case for himself. The general opinion, we are sorry to say, must be that the most unfavorable view taken of Mr. Eyre's conduct in this country is the most consistent with truth. We have waited with an earnest hope that something would appear to extenuate his culpability and to remove the stigma which through him had been fixed on the humanity of British seamen. But, though the distorted versions of the story current in the United States may be set aside, enough remains to shew that beyond a doubt the death of the 112 persons who were lost with the Oneida is to be ascribed to the negligence of the captain of the Bombay. This verdict, we regard, under the circumstances, as (ar more severe than any thing which has appeared in the American papers. As the case is one which will be HPOSNLRUT,.FI. ntimanitv. AKKIVAL.S.

It liiis created a great excitement among the members of the St. Crispin's " associations. From a Massachusetts paper —the Spy—we quote its follows "The white shoemakers of the town are in a high state of wrath, but see no way of venting it effectually. The Crispin association is very strong here, there being four or five other large shops, and have hitherto had every thing their own way and carried every A prominent thing with a high hand. leader of the order from Boston is here, and the Crispins are holding a secret meeting to-night, but it is not thought probable anything serious will be done to disturb Mr. Sampson's arrangements, as the sentiments of the community at large are so strongly with him. The threats which are made promise all the enormities of Sheffield, but courage to carry them out is probably lacking." The stream having once commenced to flow, it will not cease. Chinese laborers will spread throughout the United States. "John Chinamen " is the coming man in America. He is shrewd, industrious, saving, naturally given to traffic, and is bound to work his way, and only asks to be let alone. There will be a violent opposition to this movement, but should not Chinamen be allowed to go to any part of the United States nnd there reside, engaging in labor or trade, if American citizens are allowed to visit China ?

Pbe-Histomc Nations, or Inquiries concerning some of tbe great peoples and civilizations of Antiquity, and their probable relation to a still older civilisation of the Ethiopians, or Cushitea of Arabia. —By J. D. Baldwin, A. M. New York: Harper & Co. 1800. Tbe Orioin and Migration or the Polynesian Nation. Three Lectures before the Royal Society of New South Wales, September, 1869—8y Rev. 1). Lang, D.D., of Sydney ; and published in the Sydney Morning Herald. We find our table, this month, furnished with two publications, upon the same general subject,—the migration of nations—but written and printed on the opposite sides of the globe. These two publications indicate the nature of the historical researches which are now pursued by scholars in various parts of the world. They are no longer satisfied with Rollin's Ancient History," " Gold" smith's Greece," or with the theory of archbishop Usher—that Adam was created just 4,004, before the Christian era. Mr. Baldwin, author of " Pre-historic Nations," is editor of a daily newspaper, the Massachusetts Spy, published in Worcester, Massachusetts, and, by the way, one of the very oldest papers in America, commenced in 1771, or 99 years ago. Amid the hurry and pressure of a daily newspaper office, it is a little remarkable that Mr. Baldwin finds time to pursue his researches into, not only the history of ancient nations, but the condition of nations which flourished and decayed, long ages prior to Heroditus, styled the father of history. He advocates the idea that writers for two thousand years have paid too much deference to the Greeks, regarding them as the founders of learning, whertas 18.0. demonstrating their ancient discovery, and settlement of the continent of America." This book attracted much attention, and awakened a deep interest at the date of its publication. It was reviewed by the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, in the Hawaiian Spectator, 1839, where our readers may find a good sketch of the writer's theories. These lectures, now published in the Sydney Morning Heruld, are a resume of that book, in which the writer not only re-affirms his former opinions, but illustrates them by additional information. The main theories of Dr. Lang are, that Polynesia was peopled by the Malay rare, and furthermore, when the migratory inhabitants of Polynesia had the lakes of Canada, and the frozen shores of Hudson's Bay ; penetrating into the dark forests of the Brazils, and stretching out to the straits of Magellan, and the faminestricken shores of Terra del Fuego. In short, my theory is that the aborigines of America are all one people, from North to South and from East to West; and as the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, were peopled successively by the descendants of the eight persons who landed on Mount Ararat from the good ship, the Ark, so I firmly believe that both continents of America were peopled by the descendants of the handful of famished Polynesians who had survived the voyage from Easter Island to the West Coast of America." reached Easter Island, situated in 27th degree of south latitude, and about 1800 miles from the coast of Chili, South America, that from thence some of the inhabitants passed over to the main land, and peopled South America, and pushed their way northward to Mexico. Dr. Lang claims to be the author or originator of this interesting theory. Our limits will allow us only to hint at this theory, but it is one worthy of the careful consideration of the scholar, divine, and historian. In Mr. Baldwin's book, we find many allusions to the theories that America was visited by the Northmen, and even Phoenicians, many centuries and ages prior to the discovery by Columbus. It is a little remarkable that both the authors now under review, arc now, or have been, ministers of the gospel—both editors —both members of legislative assemblies— the one at Washington, and the other in New South Wales—and both are veteran literary workers and scholars. Rev. Dr. Lang's theory about peopling of the American continent: " My theory, therefore, is that theAmerican continent was. first reached on its West coast, about the latitude of Copiapo, in the States of Chili, by a few natives of Easter Island, in the Southern Pacific, who had been accidentally blown off from the land by one of those strong westerly gales that are so prevalent in that ocean, and were thereby driven back to America. It is possible, indeed, that a canoe in such circumstances, coming at length within the influence of the southerly wind that prevails for a great part of the year along the west coast of South America, would be carried northward to the coast of Peru, which is separated from that of Chili by the desert of Atacama. Chili and Peru were, therefore, in all likelihood the first portions of the American continent that were ever occupied and settled by man. From thence, in the course of ages, emigration would extend northwards, eastwards, and southwards ; traversing and dispersing its germs of population over Central America and the islands ofthe Caribbean Sea : ascending and occupying the elevated All the Eastern papers contain full and appreciative notices of Mr. Dickens. His death occurred June 9th, and at six o'clock on the morning of July 11, his remains were conveyed from his residence at Gad's Hill, by train to Charing Cross station. There awaited at the station a plain hearse, without the usual trappings, and three plain coaches. In the first coach were placed the children of the deceased, Charles and Harry Dickens, Mrs. Dickens, and Mrs Charles Collins. In the second were Mrs. Hogarth, sister-in-law of Mrs. Austen, sister of Mr. Dickens, Mrs. Charles Dickens, Jr, and John Foster. In the third coach were Frank Beard, Charles Collins, Mr. Owery, Wilkie Collins, and Edmund Dickens. The entire party were attired in deep but simple mourning, without bands or scarfs. There ws no crowd at Charing Cross station, and the procession was driven at once to Westminster Abbey, where the remains were received by Dean Stanley and other officials, and placed in the poet's corner, at the toot of Handel and head of Sheridan, with Macauley and Cnmberland on either side. The usual flowers were strewn upon the bier, Dean Stanley read the burial service, the coffin was deposited in its final resting place, and the funeral of Dickens was ended. Upon the coffin plate were inscribed the words: . — there were highly civilized, enlightened and refined nations—the Egyptians, the Phoenicians—long before the days of the Greeks and Romans. Although we may not coincide with all his theories nnd reasonings about those older nations, yet we have been much interested in his book. It is worthy of the careful perusal of the scholar and divine. Perhaps we may account for Mr. Baldwin's ability and versatility from the fact, that in early life, we believe he was a minister of (he gospel, but his health failed, and he became an editor, and a representative in congress. The author of the other publication is the widely known preacher and philanthropist, the Rev. Dr. Lang, of Sydney, who has for the last forty years occupied so conspicuous a position in the Presbyterian church, and the politics of the Australian colonies. Nearly forty years ago, or in 1834, he published a work entitled " View of the origin plateau of Mexico; stemming the currents and migrations of the Polynesian nation : of the Mississippi and its mighty tributaries to DBaeuntrhiDickens. dCloaresf " Charles Dickens, Born February 7th, 1812, Died June 9th, 1870. Thousands of citizens have crowded to the Abbpy during the day, to look upon the spot where the great novelist rests. The Coming Event ; or Freedom and Independence for the seven United Proviuces of Australia. From a private source, we learn this to be the name of a new book, about to be published in New South Wales. The sentiment is rapidly growing in the colonies, that they have only to ask for their independence and it will be immediately granted. "Greeks, my dear, Greeks."—Not long since, two Hawaiian Britons were traveling on an English railway. In order not to be understood by their fellow-travelers, thry spoke to each other in the Hawaiian dialect. Of course all were eager to know what language it might be, when one English lady remarked to her companion, "Greeks, my dear, Greeks.' �79 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1870.

It is common to hear residents on the Sandwich Islands, and even the inhabitants of America, speak of visiting the old countries, referring to England and Europe. They may be old, but they are young when spoken of in comparison with Egypt. This is, par excellence, the oldest country on earth. It must have become densely peopled shortly after the flood. Then must have been laid the foundations of those gigantic monuments of antiquity which remain to testify in regard to the civilization and skill, intelligence and condition of the inhabitants. Egypt flourished long before Greece*and Rome had an existence. Egypt was an old country when Herodotus, the father ef profane history, visited that land five hundred years before the birth of our Saviour. From the days of Herodotus, yes, even from the days of' Abraham, visitors have resorted to Egypt to explore its monuments of antiquity. Thus for a period of nearly tour thousand years, the wise and learned, the sage philosopher and the curioot antiquarian, the statesman and the mere tourist, have made Egypt the region of their explorations and observations. The museums of Europe and America have been enriched from the ruins of Egypt. We commenced seeing specimens of Egyptian antiquities on the shores of the Atlantic. In Liverpool we found an Egyptian museum. still larger collections of Egyp" IntianLondon, curiosities. In Paris, too, we found an abundance of Eyptian curiosities, including the famous column erected in the centre of the city, and given by Mohamet Ali to cropping Louis Philippe ; and while passing through England.

Thus as we traveled towards this Italy is removing his court from Florence to cends the other descends. �THE 90 oldest of countries, we found an abundance of curiosities taken away from this old land. One might well ask, What can there be left ? We can only answer, Egypt is not yet exhausted." Every year new discoveries are made, and from the extensive ruins now scattered throughout both upper and lower Egypt, we doubt not antiquarian explorers will continue to find abundant relics of olden timet, to reward them for their labors and expenditures. Within a few years the Egyptian Viceroys have commenced a museum, confined exclusively to relics and curiosities of the country; and we find this museum abounding with hundreds of specimens of the rarest interest, viewed either historically or as an exhibition of tne skill and workmanship of the ancient dwellers on the hanks of the Nile. This museum we visited on the 22d of December, and were richly rewarded for our morning's walk. It is situated about one mile from the centre of Cairo, and immediately on the banks of the Nile. It is free to the public, and was established in 1864. If so much could have been collected in four or five years, what a splendid collection might not have been made had the rulers of Egypt gathered together the rich stores of antiquity, instead of allowing them to pass out of the country to enrich the museums of Europe " and America! In the New York Independent of the 18th of August we find a correspondent thus writing respecting the Egyptian Museum in the city of Berlin, Prussia .* The chief scientific feature of Berlin is its"Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. Walking through its cabinets for a couple of hours, one can read the whole history of Egypt three thousand years ago—its religion, its art, and its domestic life. It is probably not surpassed for its specialty by any collection in Europe. A curious feature in this museum are the tomb-chambers, brought in fragments by Professor Lepsius from trie Necropolis al Memphis, and re-built here in their original form. It was very interesting to light a candle and walk into the final abode of one of the Pharaohs without an invitation from its royal proprietor. The collection is not so well guarded as it might to be, considering its great value." THE NILE ! THE NILE ! This is the most wonderful of rivers. Its wonderful overflowings have from the earliest period enriched the country. Egypt without the Nile would have resembled the sandy desert of Arabia and Sahara. Its sources are still one of those geographical problems which have baffled the research of explorers for 3,000 years. Perhaps in no age previous to the present, has so much interest been manifested to ascertain if possible the true source or sources of this mysterious, wonderful and fruitful river. The following statistics respecting the Nile I'RIK.M). OCiIIBKII, 18.0. may not be uninteresting to our readers. According to a register kept by the French while they held Egypt, we learn that the river usually commences to rise in the latter part of June, und goes on rising until about the 25th of September, when it attains its maximum. After that date it gradually subsides until the river is confined to its ordinary channel, about the Ist of December. We find great diversity of opinion in regnrd to the height to which the Nile rises. One authority gives only about twenty fe*l, while another .states it to be forty, adding, " forty-two would do immense injury io the country." SVc suppose the measurements are made at different points on the river, or it may be al different distances from the tribute for his support. They have a neat chapel, where there is regular preach hit; upon the Sabbath in German. We found now residing at tho German Mission, a Scotch Presbyterian clergyman, who preaches in English at the American Mission chapel to all who arc disposed to convene for public worship upon the Sabbath, at 3 P. M. The name of this minister is the Rev. Thomas Robinson. He has been an English and tlioologic.il teacher at the Pilgrim Mission at Basle, in Switzerland. We heard him preach an excellent discourse Sabbath afternoon. DtfembeT 19th, from Genesis 28:12: "Behold a ladder set upon the earth." THE ENGLISH MISSION AT CAIRO. MISS Ml. 1..

They are now sustaining niissions in the West Indies, Syria, India, Egypt and Italy. Missionaries under this Board have been laboring about ten years in various parts ol Egypt, and have secured a linn hold, principally upon the Coptic population, although not confining themselves exclusively to that portion of the population of Egypt. They have stations at Alexandria, Cairo, Osiout, Fayoum, Ghous, and Mansoura. It was our privilege to become acquainted with some of the missionaries located at Cairo, and their families. From what we saw and heard, they are men and women worthy of the name of American missionaries—earnest, laborious, persistent, devoted and intelligent. Some of their number enjoy the reputation of being fine scholars in the Arabic and other Oriental languages. They are engaged in pleaching, in schools, and in visiting among the people. It was our privilege to attend the Arabic service on the morning of December 18th, at tho mission chapel. About 75 Egyptians were present. Such is the strength of the Oriental custom in Egypt respecting the presence of females with males in a Christian congregation, that the sexes are separated by a curtain. Never did we witness more thoughtful attention than was manifested by the men as they listened to the preaching ol the Rev. Mr. Ewing. His services were conducted much after the style of Presbyterian and Congregational worship in the United States. On a subsequent occasion we visited, in company with Judge Austin, the schools under the management of these missionaries. The pupils were many of them quite young, but all appeared well, and were kept in excellent order. We heard some young rians enterprise. We learned that the missionaries are exerting a powerful influence, indirectly as well as directly, upon the Egyptians. Their influence has been effectual to quicken the zeal of the government in the education of the people, and particularly the sect of the Coptics. In order to hold on to their chil- dren, the Coptics see they must educate their children. We became acquainted with a young man by the name of George Malati, a Coptic, who was for ten years in the American mission school. He is now Professor of the English language in a government school, and also teaches English in a Coptic school attached to the cathedral. From him we learned much respecting the native population, and the success of missionary operations. He pointed out to us the grand and marked distinction between the doctrines of the Coptic church and Protestant Christians. They principally relate to these points : 1. Confession. 91 The preaching of a pure faith and spiritual religion has had the same general result here in Egypt which it had in the primitive age, and in modern nominally Christian countries. Persecution has been the result, but the new converts have stood the test, and have maintained their Christian integrity. We are glad to learn that such a moral force has been brought to bear upon the Viceroy's government, thut now the adherents of a purer form of Christianity arc no longer molested. " For the exercise of this moral force," remark the missionaries in their annual report for 1868, "we are especially indebted to the British Government, acting through its efficient Consul here, Mr. Thomas F. Reade." This is another honorable example, wherein the consular agents of Great Brituin have exerted the moral power of their position in promoting the work of evangelization among the Oriental nations. Similar efforts have been put forth with like success at Constantinople and in Persia, and our American missionaries have acknowledged the timely aid thus rendered. From all these sources, it is cheering to learn that a brighter day has dawned upon Egypt. Some thirty years ago Lord Lindsay traveled through Egypt and the Holy Land. As he surveyed the moral and spiritual condition of the inhabitants, the prospects looked dark and discouraging; yet in his journal and letters, we find him breathing forth the prayer that a brighter day might dawn. Thus he writes: O soon ! may the day-star rise, " Honn, O'er Egypt's vale ami A..hur*a bowers, To warn the uationa, unseal their eye., Ami guiile their feet to Salem'a tower., When every liiiml .hall an offering bring, Aisl a**aff| heiiri lie a house ol prayer '.

During his brief sojourn there he attended an examination of the school of the American mission. At the time there was a pupil of prepossessing appearance, a young girl, whose father was an Englishman, and whose mother was a Nubian. She recited her Sunday-school lesson so remarkably well, remarked the American Consul, that when the young Rajah left the school-room he handed the missionary "twenty-five Napoleons," orsloo. This, however, was merely preliminary to the offer of his hand in marriage to the young Nubian. The circumstances were so unexpected, and the disparity in the social position of the parties so great, that the missionary advised delay. " Very well," replied the Rajah, " but it will be all the same." He proceeds to India, and pays the last respects to the remains of his mother, and returns to consummate his engagement. Greatly disappointed was he when he found that the laws required him still to defer the marriage for fourteen days. In the meantime he rents two houses, one for his future wife, and the other for himself. He daily visited her, and when the fourteen days were ended he married, and proceeded with his young bride to England, where they are now living most happily, and are the happy parents of three children. Maharajah does not forget the mission and the missionaries where his wife was educated. Annually he has contributed £1,000, or $5,000, in gold for the support of this mission. This contribution is still continued, and may be seen duly acknowledged in the annual reports of the mission. In other ways he has also indicated that he is a true friend of this mission. When the mission was straightened for funds to carry forward its operations, he gathered a meeting in Exeter Hall, London, and made an appeal for funds. His wife has proved herself in every respect worthy of the position which she was invited to occupy, and now adorns it by an ■exhibition of those Christian, and maternal virtues which entitle her to the esteem of even the Queen of England. to [C7* Thankfully we acknowledge, for the use of seamen, a ream of letter paper from A.

As a scholar, naturalist, historian, philologist, he holds a distinguished rank. Under all these circumstances, we think his opinion relating to missions of great value, especially when a class of British statesmen, including the Duke of Somerset and the Earl of Clarendon, take strong ground on the opposite side. The latter gentleman in the House of Lords recently gave this advice to missionaries, that they would " do well to follow in the wake of trade," while the Duke of Somerset thus delivered his opinion : " If a missionary is not an enthusiast, he is probably a rogue."

Transportation of Egyptian obelisks to cargo cross the Mediterranean and Europe. the Tiber to Rome. The obelisk was Among the curious inquirers into matters of history and mechanics, it has always been a mystery how the ancients transported such immense blocks of solid granite. The following remarks upon this subject we copy from the April number of " London Society." W*e would particularly call the reader's attention to the efforts of the French engineer, M. Lebas, who superintended the removal of the obelisk, now standing in Paris where the guillotine formerly stood. How did the Romans bring such ponderous masses across the Mediterranean from Egypt to Italy ; and, still more difficult, how did they bring them down or through Egypt to Alexandria ? Pliny describes some of the arrangements connected with an obelisk a hundred and twenty feet high, erected at Alexandria by Ptolemseus Philadelphia. A cana! was dug from the Nile to the place where the obelisk lay. Two boats were placed side by side, filled with pieces of stone having the aggregate weight of the obelisk ; these pieces were in masses of one cubic foot each ; so that the ratio between the quantity of matter in the obelisk and that held by the boats could be determined by n little calculation. The boats were laden to twice the weight of the obelisk, in order that they might pass under it: the two ends of the mighty monolith resting on the two banks of the canal. Then, as the pieces of stone were taken out one by one, the boats rose, until at last they supported the obelisk. They were finally towed down the canal, bearing their burden with them. So far Pliny's account is clear; but he tells us little or nothing of the tremendous task, performed ages before, of originally transporting such masses from the Syene quarries to Thebes and Heliopolis. It seems probable that the Egyptian obelisks were set up near the Nile ; and a part of the labor resolved itself into transport by means of rafts or boats. An account is given by Herodotus of the transport of a large block of granite to form a monolith temple. The block measured thirty-two feet long, twentyone feet wide, and twelve leet high; its weight is estimated to have been not less than three hundred tons. The transport of this huge mass down the Nile, from Syene to the Delta, occupied two thousand men for three years. We know from other sources that the poor ill-used slave-laborers («• Retschid fellahs," as one of our punsters has called them) were employed in vast numbers in pyramid building and other heavy works; and there are trices here and there, among the bas-reliefs of the British Museum, of mechanical appliances used in such labor as this. So far as Rome is concerned, we have a few accounts extant of the mode of bringing obelisks across the Mediterranean, and setting them up in new localities. When Constaotius caused the Lateran obelisk (as it is now called) to be* moved from Heliopolis to Alexandria, Constantino arranged for its further removal to Europe. A ship was built expressly for this purpose, manned by three hundred rowers ; and on this ship the obelisk was floated. Laboriously did tho immense ascend moved on rollers through the Gate of Ostia to the Circus Muximus. Large beams of wood were then pluced upright, and firmly cmbedded in the ground j strong ropes were passed from beam to l>eum in various directions, and by means of these (probably aided by pulleys) the small end of the obelisk was gradually raised until the proper vertical portion was attained, Nor has modern Rome failed to do something in this way. What the emperors began in ancient days, the popes continued in more recent times. When, in the sixteenth century, many of the Egyptian obelisks were about to be re-erected at Rome, means had to be devised for moving such ponderous masses. No less than five hundred different plans are said to have been submitted by architects and engineers to Pope Sixtus the Sixth, for raising the obelisk which now stands in front of St. Peter's; and Fonlana is considered to have achieved wonders when, by the aid of many hundreds of men and horses, hefulfilled theallotted task. Our French neighbors have shown themselves deficient neither in spirit nor in skill in this matter of Egyptian obelisks. When Mahomet Ali presented the French Government with one of the two noble Luxor obelisks, measures were at once taken to utilize the gift. The government resolved to transport it to Paris, and to set it up in some place of honor. M. Lebas, a skillful engineer, was entrusted with the task; and severely indeed did it tax his energies and ingenuity. Let us see how he accomplished it. He built a vessel expressly for the purpose, and set off from Toulon to Alexandria in 1831, accompanied by a hundred and fifty workmen. Slowly and with great difficulty was this vessel navigated up the Nile, from Alexandria to Thebes. Eight hundred men were then employed for three months in making an inclined plane from the river's bank up to the place where the obelisk stood, a distance of about a quarter of a mile. Next ensued the tedious lalior of lowering and moving this mass of granite, weighing little less than two hundred and fifty tons. The obelisk was encased in timber, to avert fracture and injury. Moved down to the riverside by an immense application of manual labor and mechanical contrivances, it was placed at length on board the vessel. The voyage down the Nile commenced, after waiting nine months for a sufficient depth of water. The river journey took three months, and Alexandria was reached towards the close of the year 1832. A whole year was then spent in a series of voyages, amid multiplied difficulties—first to Toulon, then to Cherbourg, then to Havre, and then up the Seine to Paris, where the weighty monolith arrived nhout Christinas, 1833. It was necessary to construct a pedestal of massive materials, on which to set up the obelisk. Blocks of granite were brought from Brittany, the largest of which measured ten feet by ten, and sixteen feet in height. An inclined plane was then made, leading up from the banks of the Seine to the Place de la Concorde, where a platform of rough masonry was formed on a level with the top of the pedestal. The obelisk, placed on a timber stage or car, was dragged up this plane by means ofropes and capstans. One edge of its base having been brought to the edge of the pedestal, the raising of the smaller end whs effected by ropes and pulleys attached to the heads of ten masts, five on «ach side. It was tough und tedious work ; but at length, on the 2. )th of October. 1536,Lebas had the satisfaction of seeing the Luxor obelisk elevnted into its place— after a series o( operations which had engaged his almost undivided attention for the r greater part of six years. Niihau.—A recent visitor to the island of Niihau thus describes the island, under dat<; of September Ith "On the island ol Niihau the Sinclair* have, I think, their full heart's desire. I never was more pleasantly disappointed in regard to any place. Viewed from Kauai, : it presents a most uninteresting appearance, which is very deceptive. It is about twenty miles long, and five or six wide, containing over sixty thousand acres of land. The greater part nflbrds most excellent pasturage, especially for sheep. It is a strange fact (and I was informed by Mr. Sinclair that it was true) that kibainiat would not grow on the island. Were it not for this fact, the wool would deteriorate in price. In one of my rides about the island I was shown some subterranean caves, in which were growing with great luxuriance the breadfruit, hau, and many other trees. This was within a stone's throw of the ocean. There are many delightful rides about the island. 1 never spent ten days more pleasantly. A person enjoying hunting and fishing can there find sport, such as I have not seen on any other island of the group." Our correspondent thus writes about Kaula and Lehua, which are seldom visited : •• I will now take you to Kaula. and Lehua, the last two islands of the group. The latter I first visited in company with the Rev. Mr. Kaukau. We were taken across by a fisherman. Our principal object was to obtain some rabbits. On Tuesday, August 23d, we started in a whaleboat for Kaula, distant about twenty miles. There were nine of us in the boat. We arrived about 8 or 9, A. M. It is impossible for a boat to land, the surf being very high. We were obliged to swim ashore. This is a small, but quite a noted island. The king and chiefs were accustomed to visit it in former times. The late King when he visited it swani on shore with the Hawaiian flag, and declared war against the myriads of birds, the only inhabitants of the island. The natives told me that 1 was the second white man who had ever been on the island. The other was Mr. Neilson, who went with the late King. The natives of Kauai think more of visiting Kaula than they would of going to Honolulu or Hawaii. We remained on the island several hours4 and caught great numbers of the birds. The young of these sea birds are very good eating, resembling the young pigeon. We reached the island of Niihau again at midnight. " Sunday before last the Rev. Mr. Dole (so Teport says) preached about choosing a wife. It happened that Sunday that not one of the bachelors of Kauai (of which there are quite a number) were there to profit by it." �PLACES OF WORSHIP. «r A MEN'S HKI'IIKI. H>, S. C.

This appears in the use now made of cotton seed, which in the days of slavery was accounted utterly valueless. By machinery which has been invented, the exterior coating of the seed is removed. The oil is then extracted, and proves to be of a most excellent quality, and may be employed for all purposes—for the toilet of a lady to the lubricating of heavy machinery. One report says that it equals olive oil for culinary purposes. It may be mixed with other oils, and forms a good substance for light. It may be obtained in great abundance, at the ratio of one barrel to every four bales of cotton. Estimating the cotton crop at 4,000,000 bales, then 1,000,000 barrels of oil may be produced. Large quantities are now shipped to the New York and other markets. There is quite satisfactory reason why whale oil should be reduced in price.

She left for Ascension in July, and returned on the 27th of October. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bingham, Rev. Mr. Mahoe, wife and four children, and the widow of Mr. Kaelemakule, late missionary on Namarik, came as passengers. Joseph, a Gilbert Islander, came up to assist Mr. Bingham in the translation of the New Testament and other books. The Annie during her cruise visited several islands of the Gilbert and Marshall groups, where there are missionary stations, and found the work of the missionaries very prosperous and hopeful. The visit of the Jamestown exerted a happy influence in promoting peace among the islanders. Mr. Bingham still calls for additional missionaries, and sixteen are needed to carry forward the work of evangelization on the Gilbert-Islands. from A Genuine Temperance Ship.—A correspondent at Baker's Island thus writes : The Wolfville arrived, and we can hardly credit the work here done in 17 days—discharging 700 tons of stone and taking 1,725 tons of cargo in 15 working days.

There are many pyramids in Egypt, but there is only one that merits consideration. This Pyramid of Ghizeh is the highestof nil, being 479 feet in height, stnnding upon a base 767 feet square, covering thirteen acres ! It is situated a few miles above Cairo, on the west bunk of the Nile. This is the pyramid usually visited by tourists, and the only one really worthy of examination. It was our privilege to ascend it, and also to penetrate to its inmost recess ; but as descriptions of the numerous visitors are so frequently published, we shall spare our readers. We cannot, however, refrain from alluding to the question which has taxed the energies of so many learned and gifted men: For what was this pyramid built? Was it merely for a tomb of an ancient king of Egypt ? Was it for astronomical purposes ? Why was it built? That is the question, and a very difficult question. Sir John Herschel saw in it only an observatory to indicate the position of the North or Polar star. Strange to say, that star, 2,000 years B. C, stood in such a position in the heavens that it might be seen by a person who had penetrated to the centre of the pyramid, and would look through a tube 342 feet long ! Under these circumstances, it could be seen at midday. Astronomers tell us that this star will not occupy that exact position again until a cycle of 26,000 years shall be completed. Within a few years, Prof. Smyth, Astronomer Royal of Scotland, has published a volume, entitled, " Our inheritance in the Great Pyramid." In this volume he has gone into a vast amount of calculations respecting this pyramid, and among others, he calculates "that a certain hollow, empty, �98 I UK FRIK.MI. .MIIKMBKII, M , 0 . hallowed associations and tender memories. of great usefulness to the 100,000,000speakIn Bethlehem was born the Saviour of the ing the Arabic language. world, in Jerusalem was he crucified, and During our brief stay in Beirut, we emfrom the Mount of Olives he ascended up to ployed every moment in visiting other schools lieiiven ! and seminaries taught by English and GerReturning to Jaffa, we embarked on board man niissionane.*..

Our readers will notice that the physician referred to in the above paragraph from a late English paper, is the same gentleman as they will find noticed in the sketch which wo hnve given of "our" visit to Beirut. He is not only an eminent physician, but is also deeply versed in the Arabic vr.rnnciilar, and has completed —as we have remarked the translation of the Bible commenced by the Rev. Eli Smith.

Choke that foolish envy which gnaws at your heart because you are not in the same lot with others ; bring down your soul, or rather bring it up to receive God's will, and do His work in your hit, in your sphere, under your cloud of obscurity, against your temptations ; and then you shall find that your condition is never opposed to your good, but really consistent with it.— liiifihmll.

The times want scholars —scholars who shall shape The doubtful destinies of dubious years, And land the ark, that bears our country's good, •Sato on some peaceful Ararat at last. The age wants heroei —heroes who shall dare To struggle in the solid ranks of tin th ; To clutch the monster error by the throat ; To bear opinion to a loftier seat; To blot the era of oppression out. And lead a universal freedom in. Ami Heaven wants souls—fresh and capacious souls to taste its raptures, and expand, like tlowers, lleneath the glory of its central sun. It wants fresh souls—nut lean and shrivelled ones ; It wants fresh souls, my brother—ffssj it thine. If thou indeed wilt be what soholiirs should ; If thou wilt be u hero, and wilt strive To help thy fellow and exalt thyself.

In a valley, centuries ago. Grew a little fern leaf, green and slender— Veining delicate, aud fibres tender— Waving, when the wind crept'down so low; Hushes tall, and moss, nnd gross grew round it, Playful sanbeams darted in and found it. Drops of dew stole in, by night, and crowued it, But do foot of man e'er trod that way; Earth was young, and keeping holiday. Monster fishes swam the silent main, Stately forests wared their giant branches. Mountains hurled their snowy avalanches, Mammoth creatures stalked across the plain Nature revelled in grand mysteries. But the little fern was not of these. Did not number with the hills and trees ; Inly grew and waved, its sweet wild way,— ; •No one came to note it, day by day. those of (tod's own wiiy. He becomes, thenlore, what we call a " cross" man. We thinks, perhaps, thut this is because everything in nature crosses his wishes und plans. But it is because he has undertaken to cross the plans and wishes of the God of nature. And this is the reason why a cross man is not successful, and is not happy. He acknowledges that he is not. He is growling about it nil the time. He is an illustration, in the very etymology of his name, that the way of the transfrresmr is hard; that the wag itself is quite as hard as the bed which he is to sleep upon when he comes to his journey's end. ISABEL OF MOON. I do not know that the illustration of this from history is any more striking than the forth, one time, put on a frolic mood, Heaved the rooks, and changed the mighty motion illustrations our own lives would furnish. Of tbe deep, strong currents of the uocuii. But life or history is full of illustration. Moved the plain, and shook the haughty wood.

More yet, she is beautiful as she is brave. RBEYV..E.HALE. And she is not afraid to try. She is born of Is? , .o — lOontlnocd.l A CROSS WAY IS A HARD WAV. This is, indeed, one of those cases where the old derivation or etymology of the words is still a guide as to the truth which they convey. A transgressor is one who goes across the ways and boundaries which God has appointed. The word is a Latin word, which expresses the same idea as our English word " tres-passer." The transgressor or trespasser is a man with a passion for short cuts ; constantly flattering himself that he sees better paths for his purposes than God's paths, better ways than God's ways. Leaving God's ways, therefore, to try his own experiments, he is engaged at once in stepping over and into other people's furrows ; he loses time and patience at brooks, where he walks up and down in soggy meadows, trying to find easy places to jump across, because there is no bridge ; he misses his spring when the jumping moment comes, because the tuft of grass is insecure from which he leaps ; lie wades out upon the mud on his hands and feet, recovering from his fall as well as he may; and yet he must plunge on in this same cross-cut of his own surveying, partly from a pride which will not give up, partly from a mistaken feeling that it will be just as hard to go back over a route which has proved so unsatisfactory. The whole difficulty, perhaps, is expressed in the syllable trans of transgressor," or in **)* tres of trespasser,"" which mean " The transgressor at hisalike cross or across. own pleasiire e.mB nerosg all boundaries, even a cruel, fanatic, determined race ; and she inherits its force and decision. She marries a weak husband, fond of luxury, fond of peace. Because he is fond of peace, he has married the daughter of his strongest neighbor. Because he is fond of luxury, he is willing to introduce at his court all the magnificence of her father's. She travels in pomp to her new home, and takes with her a thousand ecclesiastics—priests and preachers,—who are to sustain the gorgeous ritual to which she is used since her childhood. Whoever insults one of these insults her. Whoever insults her payS penalty with his life. Her husband, like Macbeth, is slow to take on himself the prompt murders and attendant crimes of her ambition. Little she recks ; she will use his signet, she will give his orders, she will hersell send her own enemies out of her way. He comes home one day, complaining, like. David, that he cannot obtain such a piece of land to add to the palace grounds. •« Are you king, or not ? " says the proud woman. And she herself writes the false accusation of the unhappy land-owner; she charges him falsely with blasphemy, punishable by death; she fixes the king's seal to the accusation ; and, when the poor wretch is killed, she comes in triumph to the king, who hud just a shade of conscience ; she bids him take the coveted garden for his own. Meanwhile, through His life and after his death, she makes her own name notorious hy her shameless adulteries. A thousand years after, the latest Christian nrnnliei. wisninrr to hpan fhp Imv. est shuttle upon a community, does it in borAnd lo this hour the meanest drunkard, wishing- to abuse the scold who has sunk lower than himself, takes that same name to revile her. Even the innocent child lisping its catechism, and asked who is the worst woman who ever lived, answers, "Jezebel." Take such a transgressor ns she,—a transgressor, all whose ways were made as easy as rank and gold and a woman's will could make them ; as easy to the last as triumph could ma ko them. I say nothing of the close of thut life. I say nothing of the result to which those ways led her. I speak of the ways themselves. Is it not, on any conception of the story, clear, that they must have been hard ways all along ? These devilish intrigues, these murders of the innocent, this scorn for her husband, this shifting of her lovers, these state-craft ingenuities; even the pride of place, even the pomp of retinue, even the low, sensual enjoyment of the table, which is the enjoyment she shares with the pig, or the condor, or the boa constrictor,—is there, in such a life of fierce passion, of steady transgression, is there any hope, even for enjoyment, in it all ? It is clear that, in the meanest hovel on the plain of Esdrael, the simplest woman who loved her husband and her children, und tried not to cross over the ways her God had appointed, found more in life than did the queen. That woman lived more, carried out her own real wishes more, succeeded more, even enjoyed more, her ways were more smooth, her journey more successful, than the most triumphant ways of the crowned transgressor. rowing her name. The regular meeting of the Association for October took place at the Reading Room on Friday evening, the 28th ult. The attendance was rather thin, owing doubtless to the stormy weather. Minutes read and committees reported. The main business of the evening was the discussion of the report of the Reading Room Committee on the list of papers and periodicals to be taken for the Reading Room during the coming twelve months, which passed with several amendments. Some new and interesting papers will be added to the list, and one or two of the old ones be dropped off. The following from Saratoga appeared " The Young Men's Christian Association, having appointed a Committee of Five to suppress the gambling houses here, Ford & Allen, hearing of the measure taken, closed up their gambling establishment on Wednesday. On Thursday the officers visited the Hon. John Morrissey's gambling saloon and took an inventory of implements, which he agreed to deliver to them on Monday." in the American papers recently: A weekly Sunday afternoon prayermeeting is conducted by the Association in the vestry room of the Fort Street Church at half-past three o'clock, to which all men are invited. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
