For months, aye many anxious months, the Demon of Intemperance has been seen pressing heavily upon the Hawaiian people Victims were ruthlessly dragged to the altar and there sacrificed. Strong men died and the clods were laid upon their graves, and if a true epitaph was inscribed upon their tomb stone, it would be, " Here lies a diunkard." If cases were solitary and at long intervals, there would be some mitigation of the sad retrospect. The wave of intemperance year after year has been seen to pass over the island community. Alas, how many noble men, —noble young men of foreign extraction have we seen go down ; not these alone—we have seen Hawaiians swept away, yes, Hawaiian chiefs and Hawaiian kings! Temperance men, Good Templars and Christians have tried, and not altogether in vain, to stem the fearful tide of intemperance. Of late however, a combination of evil influences has conspired to intensify the sad and alarming prevalence of intemperance. The nation has passed through two elections of a Sovereign to the throne, with attending circumstances which have increased the use of intoxicating liquors. The laws have been relaxed, and the sad results are but too apparent. The friends of temperance, good morals, and Hawaii, have looked on with pain and -iniiety. Some, inclined fo ttke sombre — views, have predicted nothing but certain ruin, while others, more hopeful and prayerful, have called to mind the past nnd look up for help. When the prospects have looked the very darkest, a bright ray has fallen upon the scene. His Majesty has apparently watched the current of passing events, and now, master of the situation, steps forth to the front and invites his subjects to follow. We should suppose, if there was one spark of genuine loyal and patriotic feeling in those around him, every one would dash the cup of intemperance from his lips and sign the total abstinence pledge. This is Hawaii's golden opportunity ! Embrace this opportunity, and something more valuable than reciprocity will flow over the nation. The nation is small and becoming smaller, but the cause of the decrease of the population is well known to be owing, in good part, to intemperance. Now is the time for the friends of the Hawaiian nation to rally around the King and push forward a thorough temperance reform. Shame on those who retard this glorious reform, and by their example and influence hasten the ruin of the Hawaiian race, and jeopardize the welfare of the community. We learn that Elisha H. Allen, jr., Esq. of New Turk city, baa been appointed His Hawaiian Majesty's Consul General Tor the United States of America.—P. C. Advertiser, July 24. 65 tfol. 32. EDITOR'S TABLE. Personal Recollections, from early life Somerville : With Selections from her Correspondence. By her dauuhter, Mnrtha Somerville Fourth thousand. London : John Murray, Albemarle street, 1874. The name of Mary Somerville is one of the authorities in certain departments of educational studies, which we heard quoted at a period when "memory runneth not to the contrary." She died at Naples November 29th, 1872, at the venerable age of ninety-two, and retained all her mental powers so remarkably that her daughter remarks, " her last occupations, continued to the actual day of her death, were the revision and completion of a treatise, which she had written years before, on the " Theory of Differences, and the study of a book on Quaternions." On a few days before her death she wrote as follows: I am now in my 02d year (1872), still able to drive out for several hours; lam extremely deaf, and my memory of ordinary events, and especially of the names of people, is failing, but not for mathematical and scientific subjects. I am still able to read books on the higher algebra for four or five hours in the morning, and even to solve the problems. Sometimes 1 find them difficult, but my old obstinacy remains, for if I do not succeed today, I attack them again on the morrow. I also enjoy reading about all the new discoveries and theories in the scientific world, and on all branches of science. We are not aware as the records of female scholarship and authorship present a similar case. Shakspeare says respecting Julias to old age, of Mary Issued.—The twenty-third annual report of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, a pamphlet of sixty-four neatly printed pages, Cesar: has been laid upon our table. lifa was gentle; and tb* elements " His So mix'd in him, tbat Nature might aland up We would acknowledge from Prof. And say to sll the world, ' This was a man.'

That we have not assigned too high ,t position for this gifted daughter of science und mathematics, will be seen when the fact is carefully noted which she discloses in the following paragraph Somerville and I spent the Christmas ut Collingwood with our friends the Herschels. The party consisted of Mr. Airy, Astronomer-Royal, and Mr. Adams, who hud taken high honors ut Cambridge. This young man nnd M. Leverrier, thecelebrated French »stronomer, had separately calculated the orbit of Neptune and announced it so nearly at the same time, that each country claims the honor of the discovery. Mr. Adams told Somerville thut the following sentence in tho sixthedition of the Connection of the Physical Sciences.," published in tho year 1842, put it into his head to calculate the orbit of Neptune. "If after the lapse ol years the tables formed from n combination of numerous observations should be still inadequate to represent the motions of Uranus, the discrepancies may reveal the existence, nay, even the mass and orbit of a body placed for ever beyond the sphere of vision." That prediction was fulfilled in 1846, by the discovery of Neptune revolving at the distance of 3,000,000.000 of miles from the sun. The mass of Neptune, the size and position of his orbit in space, aud his periodic time, were determined fromhis disturbing action on Uranus before the planet itself had been seen. What is specially noteworthy in her life, while engaged in the review of the great work of La Place's Mccmiiqiie Celeste," and pursuing her mathematical and astronomical studies,—she did not relax her interest in the social und domestic duties of life. She was a true mother as well as a renowned astronomer, a good wife as well : " - ns a profound mathematician, an ugreeuble companion as well as u distinguished scientist, and a genuine friend as well ns the best-read lady of the age. Never avoiding society or neglecting family duties, and frequently traveling from England to the Continent, and yet performing the most arduous duties of authorship,—" writing nnd correcting proof-sheet." Respecting some of her investigations, Herschel remarked that there were not twenty men in England who could follow her reasoning; and a distinguished French Savant made a similar remark re- 111 I N I). 187 B I I (.IST, read M.'s letter.

But the greatest change is in the men ; I never saw a liner set, so gentlemanly-looking and well-behaved ; almost all can read and write, und they have an excellent library and readingroom iv all the ships. The record of a noble life like Mrs. Somerville's, is good reading for those flippant newspaper scribblers who are forever discanting upon female education, the inability of the female sex to cope with men in study. There are a good many hints and suggestive passages in this volume to those writing books upon " Sex in Education," The Building of a Brain," and other volumes re- " lating to education. This is an experimental age, and iv mutters of education experiments ure made as well as in mechanics. Fortunately such books as this relating to Mrs. Somerville are now published. The memoirs of John " Stuart Mill "is another. The world moves. Conservatives and old fogies are useful in their way, but they must be up and stirring, or the hurrying and advancing wave of Progress will leave them cast ashore on the desolate const of Ignorance n>id Forgetfulness. . Letter from Boston. Jamaica Plains, June 25, 1875. Rev. S. C. Damon— Dear sir .-—The centennial celebration of the Battle of Bunker Hill on the 17th inst, has been very fruitful, in interesting items of news. In the newspapers, it has not yet censed to be. the chief topic of interest. I know not whether it may not all reach you through the ordinary channels of Honolulu news ; but since mailing to you the lloston Journal of the 18th, a good many pleasant little items, called forth by the joyous occasion, have come to hand, which, too good to be lost, I enclose. So extraordinary and excessive was the outburst of public patriotism at Concord on the 19th of April, I supposed that the public mterest in centennials must hnve exhausted itself, and that from the inevitable reaction in the public mind, it would be impossible to awaken much interest in centennial celebrations to follow—after Concord, Charleston and Bunker Hill were scarcely to lie thought of. In this, however, I was mistaken. We had almost forgotten the effect of the attack on Fort Sumpter, nnd tho centennial celebration of the battle of Bunker Hill was a second revelation of the deep hold, which our national traditions have upon the hearts of the American people. East, west, north and south —the 17th of June was a glorious day for Boston—and for four or five hundred thousand people, the happiest day iv their lives. In the procession the number of persons was variously estimated at 30 to 40,000, —but on the line of their march, not less than 300,000 of all ages and sexes were distributed for a distance of six miles, occupying the sidewalks and temporary platforms in front of the dwelling houses and stores on either side of the street; and every window and balcony from the basement to the attic was filled, not to mention the crowds occupying, in many cases, the roofs of the buildings. Many in the procession from distant cities, Bostonians included, say they never before saw so many handsome women— never before such a display of silk dresses and white handkerchiefs, with showers of briquets, which fell upon tbe regiments as they passed— and the effect was very much increased by the display of an almost incredible amount of bunting stretching across the streets, and covering the brick and marble fronts of buildings some miles in extent. The cheering was deafening, and continued till the ladies were hoarse. Massachusetts furnished six thousand troops, and other New England States their quotas. The Seventh New York Regiment, famous for its " lock-step " and wonderful drill in review and marching, was the admiration of all—never before perhaps in this country was there more emulation amongst The stoev of Prince Henry of Portugal, and the sketch of the life of the poet Caiuoontj, published in a series of articles in this paper, are now issued in pamphlet form.

Agreeable to public notice a goodly company of Hawaiians and foreigners assembled at Knumakapili Chun-h on Saturday even ing, July 31st. The Rev Mr Kuaea was called to the chair, and Mr. Poli was appointed secretary. Prayer having been offered by the chairman, H. L. Sheldon, Esq., presented n preamble and resolutions, approving of the stand taken by His Majesty, in his speech Sabbath afternoon. July 18th, at the- Palace. After these were discussed, a committee of five was appointed to wait upon His Majesty and present these resolutions. The meeting adjourned to meet again on Sunday evening, August 7th, when the subject of Temperunce will be discussed. Most heartily we rejoice to witness this movement in behalf of a Tempernnce Reform. It is quite time something was done, and that in good earnest. His Majesty has done most nobly to take the initiative, now let his subjects, native and foreign, follow his example. We hope meetings may be convened in all parts of the islands, and strong resolutions passed sustaining the King and this good cause Now is the time for a " long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether." Let the friends of Temperance wake up. Let all the foreign and native pastors call upon their people to awake. The Demon of Intemperance has been coiling himself around many of our people with a grasp as tight and deadly as the fabled serpents coiled themselves around Laocoon and his sons, as represented in the famous statuary found among the ruins of Rome and now exhibited in the Vatican Museum. Unless the tide of intemperance is arrested it will inevitably sweep off many more of this people and foreigners residing upon the islands. We have no people to spare. Now is the time to be up and doing. " There is a tide in tht; affairs of men," let us take it in the flood," and it may sweep " us away from the deadly rocks of intemperance and upon the fair and green shores of health and prosperity. Shumeon sll who cling to their cups and by their example and influence perpetuate drinking customs which are unnecessary and destructive to both soul and body. We hope the ladies will all be found upon tbe right side—the side of tem- foals t» : • FROM j >I JI .... TO 1 I .bbiv.l.

We are also delighted to learn that their author is not here '• to rest upon his oars," but will '• follow the heroes of the Iberian Peninsula in their wanderings and heroic achievements throughout the great ocean and along the Pacific shores, and offer to English readers much that they have not seen, in relation to Pacific discovery and Polynesian history."

AUGUST, l.sij. The Vermont Liquor Law. The King's Temperance Speech. The following eloquent speech, which we i The celebrated Hepworth Dixon, having copy from the Advertiser of July 24th, was traveled over most parts of the habitable delivered by His Majesty the King at the I world, at last finds liis way to the State of Palace yard, on Sunday afternoon, July; Vermont, and visits St. Johnsbury, where 18th, before an assemblage of his Hawaiian Col.

Among the latter Dixon appears to be in company with an were Rear Admiral Almy and officers of the Oxford student, who is fond of his ale and U. S. S. Pensacola. other liquors. The good people of Vermont Soldiers, and attendants of lolam Palace : have decided to class ale, brandy and other " I have called you together on this good day intoxicating liquors among poisons, and only " with a view to commencing a good -work. ThcrJ allow them to be sold as other poisons are are not a few in our land who devote this day to sold, such as arsenic. Mr. Dixon thus writes drinking and revelry. You soldiers, arc by your respecting the state of affairs in Vermont, position and occupation the guarditins of the touching the liquor law : Throne and the government, and nt the same For my part, I have passed through many time a part of my own household; and I hare therefore deemed it proper here, in our own countries, and been broken to the ways of many men. I have eaten ice with the home, to inaugurate a work of reform, the examof Lebanon, and sucked a water-melon Druse ple of which may Imply extend bejond these chief; walls. " Iris my desire that we should here form ourselves into a Keform League, the chief object and aim of which shall be to abandon and discourage the use of strong drink. The use of intoxicating drinks is one of the great causes of misery to our nation. There is u great prevalence of intemperance, and consequent sickness among our people, drink inflaming the blood, disordering the system, and producing disease and death. " Tbe reports come to us of these evils from every direction—of disturbances and violence and unirder, resulting from the use of intoxicating drinks. Une day, it is a woman who has fallen a victim, and lost her life as a result of the use ol drink, and the next a man is killed through the same cause. It is time that it strong effort was made to check the evil. " Io other countries, the labors of temperance reformers have for many years been directed to tbe suppression of intemperance, and often with excellent results. You have perhaps heard quite recently of the doings of tbe women in some parts of America, in their crusade against the liquor traffic. The church, and the various secret societies discourage intemperance; much good is done by Temperance Societies; our laws ore strict; but the evil still continues and grows. Therefore let us, here within these Palace walls, combine and agree together to give our example and our influence against this great evil, the use " of strong drink. Let me say to you, that I feel that a heavy " responsibility—a labor devolves upon me to find tbe means ot eradicating this great evil from our nation i—and 1 want you to leel that it is upon yourselves as well. If you meet with ridicule, regard it not; you will be engaged in a noble cause, —an earnest endeavor to free yourselves and your country Irom a terrible curse ; a worthy effort for mental and physical reform. " I invite you, therefore, to join in an association for tbe suppression of the use of strong drink. If you take hold of the work with a true determination, you will succeed, and from your small beginning there may be great results. You know that tbe appetite for strong drink does not come at once, but by gradual approaches, until the man becomes enslaved. Thus also it may be with tbis work of national reform, here l«sgun like a grain of mustard-seed, but which #we may bave the happiness ol seeing spread all over the Und." drunk quass with the with a Kirghiz archmandrite of Pechersk, and gulped the dregs of a tank with an Arab Sheikh; tasted, unwittingly, the saltness of the Dead Sea, and shrunk with loathing from the nauseous ooze of the Bitter Creek. I have lapped the Nile, and lingered by the fountains of Loja. In the absence of wine, I can drink water with a Good Templar, and live in comfort on tea and milk. But an Oxonian near me, reared on football-ground and cricket field, requires beer. " Can you get me a pint of ale?" It is a crucial test, and I regard the waiter's face while -seeming not to notice him. " Yes, sir, but it will take some time ; I have to send for it." " To send for it— where from ? " " From the Commissioner's. Who Pray, who is this Commissioner? " is this Commissioner ! " " Yes, yes ; "excuse me for the question, I am but a stranger in Commissioner, sir, is these parts." " Theappointed the town officer, by law to sell poisons, as I have heard your druggists are in London." " Very good ; then get me a pint bottle of the poison called Bass's Pale Ale." My own inquiries satisfy me that the man is right. Intoxicating drinks are classed with poisons, such as laudanum and arsenic ; but as poisons may be needed in a civilized country, under a scientific system of medicine, laudanum and arsenic are permitted to be sold in every civilized Slate. Such is here the case with brandy, beer, and wine. A public officer is appointed by a public vote. The town lays in a stock of brandy, beer and wine, which is carefully registered in books and kept under lock and key. These poisons are doled out, at the discretion of this officer, in small quantities—very much as deadly-shade and nox vomica are doled out by a London druggist. " Cannot you get a bottle of cognac for your own private use?" I asked Colonel Fairbanks. i can send my order," he replies, " for a pint of cognac ; it will be sent to me, of course ; but my order will be filed, and the delivery entered on the public books for every one to see." " You find that system rather inquisitorial, do you not?" " Well, no, it is intended for the common good, and every one submits to what is for the good of all. We freely vote the law, and " freely keep the law. But for myself the rule is a dead letter, since no intoxicating drink ever enters my house." In going through .the mills, I notice the several classes of artizans. Five hundred men are toiling in the various rooms. The work is mostly hard ; in some departments very hard. The heat is often great. From seven o'clock till twelve, from one till six— ten hours each day—the men are at their posts. The range of heat and cold is trying, for the summer sun is fierce, the winter frost is keen. Your ordinary citizen cannot live through the summer heats without a trip to Lake Champlain and the Adirondack mountains. Yet the men engaged in these manufactories of scales are said to drink no beer, no whisky, and no gin. Drinking and smoking are not allowed on the premises. Such orders might be only meant for discipline, but I am told that these five hundred workmen really never taste a drop of either beer or gin. Their drink is water, their delight is tea. Yet everyone llssures me that they work well, enjoy good health, and live as long as persons of their class employed on farms. "These men," I ask, " who rake the furnaces, who carry the burning metals, and who stand about the crucibles—can they go on all day without beer? They never taste a drop, and never ask to have a drop. There is a can of water near them; they like the taste of water better than the fume of ale, and do their work more steadily without such fumes." In fact, I find that these intelligent craftsmen are the warmest advocates of the prohibitive liquor law. They voted for it in the outset; they have voted for it ever since. Each year of trial makes them more fanatical in its favor. Since the Act came into force, new clauses have been added by the State Legislature. Party questons often turn on this liquor law, and these intelligent workmen always vote for those who promise to extend its operations. They would gladly crush the sale of intoxicating liquors once for all, and I am led to fancy that some of them would not hesitate to make the sale a capital offence.

The apostle Paul declares that " it is good zealously affected always in a good thing." Mr. Plimsoll, M. P., has nobly shown that he is zealously affected and determined to protect British seamen. Late English and American papers contain frequent mention of the efforts of this philanthropist in behalf of the lives and safety of seamen. He has shown by facts and statisto be tics that hundreds, aye thousands, of seamen are annually sacrificed to the cupidity of British ship-owners, by sending ships to sea utterly unseaworthy ! The facts no one can gainsay. Mr. Plimsoll endeavored to obtain the passage of a law to rectify these abuses, but the members of parliament would not pass the law. Mr. Plimsoll arose in indignation, and called things by their right names ! He has since apologized for his unparliamentary language, but he is no less resolved to press the matter before the British public; and we rejoice that his appeal is being heard. The people are taking the matter up and depend upon it something good will come. John Bull is rather hard to arouse, but when his ire up, parliament will obey ! It is a hard matter in old England to rectify old uses and abuses, but the history of reforms should surely encourage Mr. Plimsoll. He has pluck and facts, and erelong they will win the day. Organ—While we are preparing to issue our paper, our new organ is going up, and we hope next Sabbath or very soon its tones will assist in the worship of the sanctuary. We feel under very great obligations to all who have rendered such generous aid in its purchase, and in our next issue we shall report the sources from which aid has been derived. We would now acknowledge an additional donation of the freight on the organ, per Ceylon, from C. Brewer, Esq., of Boston. l<t)lb Series, M 32. 73 Extracts from Livingstone's Journal.

We overlook the fact that it is 1,800 years of selfsacrifice, labor, prayer, and devotion which have produced the result we now see. Instead of comparing sixty or seventy years of modern missionary labor with the result of 1,800 years, if we would be fair and reasonable, we should compare them with sixty or seventy years out of the 1,800, during which the Church was engaged in the same work in which she is engaged now. devolutions of character in. any race cannot come without many influences acting together, and acting not onlyfor a long time, but often imperceptibly.'" verter may be built Old Testament Scriptures. BY R. PEARSALL SMITH. The Scriptures are not a lot of books thrown together without regard to order. There is a consecutive arrangement of them all through. Beginning with the scene of an earthly Paradise, the Scriptures clpse with the scene of a heavenly Paradise. Beginning with the tree of life, which was forfeited, it closes with a tree of life which shall be ours eternally. Beginning with man under probation, it ends with man in absolute and unconditioned grace. Beginning with an earthly marriage, it closes with the glorious scene of a heavenly marriage; and all throughout, from first to last, there is a regular gradation and development, in Genesis we find the story of God's trial of man in various conditions always resulting in failure—failure in Paradise, failure when men were without law, failure when they were under law, failure under the patriarchal system, winding up with the terrible bondage of the children of Israel in Egypt. The second book gives us the story of man's redemption. We have sometimes sought to take the redemption without placing the Red Sea between us and the world we have left. In the third book we find God's provision in our condition of infirmity and failure in having continual access to Himself. In the fourth book we have the people of God being brought forward into the glorious land of their inheritance, and trusting Jehovah, whose wonderful hand and power they bad just experienced in being turned back into the wilderness for forty years. In Deuteronomy we have the second giving of the law, that deeper and more searching examination of our hearts in the light of the will of God which always precedes the more definite entrance on a life of full obedience and communion, in Joshua we have the story of their crossing Jordan, beginning with the words, "Up, sanctify yourselves; for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders among you." I believe that is the word for our day here, that God is coming to do wonders throughout his Church, such as before we have scarcely dared to hope for. The story of Joshua is one of almost unbroken victory, and at the close of the book he says, know how, in all your hearts and all " Yousouls, your every promise God has made to you has been yours." Joshua died ; and when those who had known him, and the elders which had crossed the Jordan had all died, then came a scene of failure ; but our Joshua, our Jesus, never dies. We may have a life of victory even unto the end. There comes the story of the failure, but not as an example. God save us from taking the failures his book has recorded as our example instead of our warning ! It is a very serious danger to Christians. And then He leads us on every here and there in the Bible, through fine vistas, such as in the Book of Ruth, in the Song of Songs, in Hosea, and elsewhere, especially in the great song of love which has its consummation at the end of the Bible in the marriage of the Lamb. Then we have the diary of Christ in the Psalms, and the heart of Christ unveiled to us. Then come the three books of Solomon—first the avoidance of evil, then that wisdom is better, and then the Song of Songs. There is a Sabbath of sabbaths, and there is a song of the consummated union of our hearts with our Lord and Saviour. Then come the prophecies of the coming of our Lord, with God's terrible denunciations of sin, and then for several hundred years the book of revelation is sealed. another gives the beautiful woods with the another is executed having the sparkling waters in the foreground, and all else thrown in the background, each presenting a picture of the same landscape; and to have a vivid idea of it we should have all four. The Holy Spirit has given us through four different mediums the story of our Lord's life. Who were the writers? The first was an officer of the Roman Government; the second was a servant; the third was a physician; the fourth was a man of philosophic character and loving temperament The first naturally gives the character of our Lord Jesus Christ as King, and his pedigree is traced from King David as a king descended from a king. The seqgpd of these biographies is written by the servant John Mark, who gives no pedigree of our Lord, but commences with a vivid picture and resume of his miracles and works The third delineates the picture of our Lord os the Man Christ Jesus, and there we find the tender picture of the prodigal son. In the fourth we find the pedigree of Christ traced all the way back to the head of the human race, Adam. It says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." It at once commences with Christ's divinity. 1 could trace these things more fully, but the purpose of this meeting does not admit of it. rest thrown in the shade; Hawaiian and United States Postage Treaty. The Four Gospels. BY R. PEARSALL SMITH. The portion of the Bible I would immediately call your attention to is the four Gospels, which are the four narratives of our Lord's life. If you want a very vivid picture for a photograph, you take a stereoscope, and, looking with two eyes from two standpoints, the figure is projected into likelike distinctness; and so our God has given us four lives of our Lord Jesus Christ, each distinct, each portraying especially one side of his character. When 1 was young, I . In these days, when postal treaties are being re-adjusted and settled, we do hope the proper officials will remedy one evil connected with our present postal law. It refers to newspapers, requiring a prepayment of two cents on papers sent to the United States, and four cents to Europe. This law is most inconvenient and absurd. Suppose a person in the United States would send a newspaper hither, he is not required to hunt up a two cent Hawaiian postage stamp; now why should the good people of the Hawaiian Islands be required to prepay not only two cents Hawaiian, but two cents American. This matter requires looking into. Ought read often the life of the great hero of not the letter postage to be reduced to come American history, George Washington. into harmony withallcivilized nations ?

The New Sailors' Shipping Laws of U. S. The endless troubles and disputes under the old system are well known. At the end of tl»e year 1874, Capt. C. C. Duncan, U. S. Shipping Commissioner, for the port of New York, is able to make a most satisfactory Report, from which we quote as follows : There have been shipped at this office during the year just closed 26,636 seamen, of which 5,374 have been rcshipments, and for these latter no fees have been charged to vessel or seamen. 15,206 were shipped without advance. In the time period 27,-576 were paid off. 81,653,186 08 have been paid into seamen's own hands, while they were sober, for wages aue and accruing, and no complaint touching the law or its workings has ever reached the Commissioner from any such seamen. A large and growing number of disputes between masters and seamen have been satisfactorily settled and many vexatious and expensive law suits avoided. Wages of deceased seamen, amounting to $3,333 58, have been collected and paid into court, a large part of which has gone thence to heirs and administrators. The entire amount of fees received during the year is 856,169 00, and of expenses, including a balance of $2,581 33 due on last year's account, $56,974 57. There has been no case of " shanghacing,' mutiny, riot or bloodshed on shipboard, nor one complaint by any seaman of injustice or mistake in settlement of wages or in the payment of advance notes, among the men snipped and paid off under the Shipping Act in the port of New York, during the year 1874. How strange, oh now strange, that men 10 desire life and desire to enjoy the good ings of life, desire to enjoy the society of their families and friends, can ruin their prospects for time and eternity by the use of intoxicating liquors. We do not wonder that men of low and vicious habits, corrupt and debased minds, plunge into intemperance ; but how men of education, family, and standing in society can drink from the drunkard's cup,—this seems passing strange. But more than all, how unaccountable that women can indulge in " drinking customs." Tell it not in Gath ! . A Fair Chance for the Women. At last a practical opportunity is to be afforded for deciding tbe much vexed question of the capacity of women fur the higher education. Tbe discussion of tbis questiou bas raged for years with no abatement of zeal or vehemence on either side, and yet no result bas been arrived at. Dr. Clarke and others have argued with learned ponderosity to prove tbat " there is sex in mind aud that women cannot go through with tbe bigber academic course of study pursued by our young men without permanent injury to tbeir health. I'rolessur Seeley and numerous other learned gentlemen belonging to the school of John Stuart Mill have replied with an air of triumphant scora to these ungallant heresies. Botb sides make such a formidable parade ot logic and learning ; both are 80 confident, so perfectly sell-satisfied, so supercilious toward their opponents, tbat plain people dipping into tbe controversy find themselves hopelessly bewildered and at a loss with which party to take sides. There is a great deal of homely wisdom in the old adage about tbe proof ol tbe pudding.'' Many a dispute which, if left to mere argument, would have gone on forever, bas been settled by the irrefragable test ol an easy and simple experiment. Thanks to the munificence of Miss Smith, the founder of the Woman's College at Northampton, Massachusetts. Ibere is now a prospect of bringing tbe question of sex in mind" to tbe test of actual experiment. The College bas just been formally opened. Tbe President on tbat occasion claimed in bis opening address that women's capaoitiea for tbe higher education are equal to those of men. As to tbe talk about the strain upon the health of girls wbo enter upon a severe course of study, bo said that the strain of study wus not half so severe as Ihe strain of fashionable dissipation, late hours, reckless eating, etc. We bare already a number of so-called female colleges in the United States ; but tbe education provided by them is not really academic. Few of them arc higher in grade than a good preparatory school. Some publish pretentious prospectuses, setting forth a formidable curriculum ol studies, most of wbich are either never taken up or only glanced at so as to leave no durable impression. Tbe malign genius of brain pervades these unwholesome instutfons. Nothing is taught deliberately, patiently and thoroughly. Text-books are burried through and thrown aside, leaving no solid residuum of knowledge, no valuable intellectual discipline, nothing tbat becomes a part of tbe permanent furniture of tbe mind. We inter from tbe President's address tbat tbe Smith College at Northampton is to be a very different sort of institution, and tbat its practical workings may help to put an end to tbe controversy in regard to sex in mind."

The London Times has a long editorial expressing concern at the condition and prospect* uf the Briiisb iron trade, saying that •' Belgian spike and bolt makers have just undersold Statfordshire by £8 a ton in an East Indian order, and by £5 a ton in a Finland order, while makers in France have shamefully beaten us in an order just distributed by the London, Brighton and South Coast railway. The rate at which competition has been overtaking us may be estimated from a single example—that of the United Suites, where tbe production of iron has been quadrupled within the last twenty yesrs." The rimes concludes : The American iron market is no longer commanded by our exports, and our iron trade must bestir ilsell if it desires still to command other markets, including the English, in which it has already formidable rivals."

The Privy Council has authorized the Hawaiian Commissioners to draw 84,000 for this purpose, and appointed a committee to expend that money. Unless, however, the community vigorously sustain this committee, but little can be expected. We fully believe that if the proper steps are now taken there need be no failure ; but now is the time to plan and to work. In referring to the published Programme of the 17. S. Commission in Philadelphia, we discover that a space amounting to 3888 feet has been set apart for the " Sandwich Islands." This space is Sandwiched between Liberia and Hay ti, now unless we bestir ourselves we shall be entirely overshadowed by the Liberians and Haytians. If awake we can make a good show. As wo huve seen no programme of what (he Hnwmiuiis can do, we would suggest as follows: I—Specimens of Sugar from all Plantations. 2—Specimens of Coffee. 3—Specimens of Rice. 4—Specimens of Woods. s—Specimens of Ferns. 6—Specimens of Books in Hawaiian. 7—Specimens of Newspapers in the English and Hawaiian languages. B—Specimens of Lava from the Volcano. 9—A large Map of the Islands. fO—Specimens of Photographic Scenery. 11—Specimens of Coral from the Reef. 12—Specimens of Native Houses. 13—Specimens of Hawaiian Ranchero Saddles and Lasso. 14— Specimens of Tapas and Calabashes. We do not propose this as a complete outline of what can be accomplished, because there are wiser heads than ours, but we do desire to see something done, and that immediately. If necessary, let the committee instantly convene a meeting of Hawaiians and foreigners to aid them in this national undertaking. We have obtained a Treaty of Reciprocity, now unless we make a respectable sbow at the U. S. Centennial, it will be said that the Hawaiian Kingdom after all is not much of an affair, nothing more than what a California editor once described it, a watermelon patch in the broad Pacific, or what the Hon. Edward Everett once called, a pin-head Kingdom. Now we hold a very different opinion, and we shall be most sadly disappointed if something is not done, and that immediately to promote this noble enterprise. It is for the honor of the nation, the King, the cause of missions, the progress of knowledge, and the advancement of science and civilization that we look in carrying out this undertaking.

Some of the most touching scene* in our Saviour's life relate to women. One of those scenes, if nothing else remained, is enough to bind the world's heart to him forever. The occasion was one which brought out the characteristics of the interlocutors very sharply. A Pharisee had asked Christ to break bread with him, and " a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment "—probably all she had in the world—"and stood at hi* feet behind him, weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment,"—so near being an angel was this poor sinning sister ! Never was modesty so modest,—stood at his feet,— stood behind him,—stood behind him weeping : only God can interpret the full meaning of such tears. Tbe cold-eyed Pharisee saw nothing in her but a " sinner;" Christ saw a woman, flesh and blood of his owner mother, and his great gentle heart was shaken with unutterable pity. The Pharisee saw his opportunity; like all little natures, he knew more of logic than of philanthropy, and instantly he set up this argument: " This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him, for she is a sinner." Men are often the victims of their own 80 PAsYCMochoiearutnn'gf onolulu. logic.—always, indeed, when tance. Who can measure that "wore"? Sin is thus made to have its compensations. The twice-born man shall be a double joy in his Father's house. Sin shall not be all loss. Even for sin's sake, heaven shall be filled with a sweeter and gladder hallelujah. Ecce Dens. logic leads away from love. The eye that saw the " woman " under the " sinner," saw the sneering sceptic under the observing but silent host. That eye read the Pharisee "Simon." said through and through. Jesus, " I have somewhat to say unto thee. There was a certain creditor which had two — debtors; the one owed five hundred pence, Sit Moon's Labors.—The Committee of the other fifty, and when they had nothing the Y. M. C.

OCTOBER the North Pacific comes nearer the surface than it does in the Southern Ocean, even in higher latitudes, and this, modifying still further the reflux surface flow towards the Equator, would appear to account for the well-known moderation of the Sandwich Islands climate, though they lie within the tropic of Cancer. In rending this paper of Dr. Carpenter, and noting the amount of information derived from the cruises of the U.S. S. Titscontra and H. B. M. S. Challenger, we could not but deplore the fact that more of our national vessels in times of pe.ice were not employed in scientific cruises. How much better for officers and men to be employed in the cause of science, than in merely making passages from port to port, or lying idle for months in foreign ports. current when it reaches CONTENTS 1. 1S7"). What Causes the Mildness of Our Climate? Dr. Carpenter read an interesiing paper More the Royal Geographical Society in London June 2Sth, which is reported in the August number of the Geographical Magazine. This paper was based upon the observations taken by the Challenger and Tuse.arora. Among the conclusions drawn from these observations, Dr. Carpenter advances the theory, that the mildness of our climate on the Sandwich Islands is owing not so much to "currents" in the atmosphere as to " currents "in the ocean. He argues that the glacial current from the south pole is vastly operative in the North Pacific ! We copy as follows from Dr. Carpenter's report: The observations taken along the northern fine nppear to point out that in the North Pacific there is the general want of that sub- surface stratum of above 40 ° F., which in the North Atlantic under the same or yet higher parallels has a thickness of at least 600 fathoms. The true cause of this peculiarity is that the North Pacific derives its deep stratum of glacial water, which nearly fills its basin, from the Polar area of the opposite hemisphere, the inlet at Behring's Straits being too narrow and too shallow to admit a flow of water of any appreciable importance. This northward flow of water from the Equator must have as its complement a movement of the superficial stratum from the northermost limit of this flow ttnrarth the Southern Pole. The alacial We take much pleasure in copying from the London leisure Hour a beautiful poem, suggested by a remarkable incident in Hawaiian history nnd the life of the chiefess Kapiolani. This incident is one which is well calculated to give inspiration to the poet. Some years ago we published a similar poem upon the same theme, written by an English clergyman, the Rtyr. Robert Grant, 8.C.L., fellow of Winchester College, &c. See Friend for August, 1866. Lord Byron, (cousin of the poet) when he visited the islands, becoming acquainted with the facts, thus comments upon the same event as one of the greatest acts of moral courage which lias perhaps ever been performed ; and the actor was a woman and, wo are pleased to call her, a savage." See history of the " Blonde." " Bethel Flag.—We would acknowledge the donation of a new Bethel Hag from the "sail loft" of J. M. Oat & Co. Many thanks. In our last issue several typographical errors appeared in the letter of the Rev. Dr. Boyd, which we sincerely regret. 81 {©ft Scries, 0«1. 32. AN ENGLISHWOMAN ON HAWAII. Some months ago we copied some extracts from Miss Bird's book, but on giving the volume a second reading, we meet scores of paragraphs and passages which we should be glad" to republish in our columns. It is a book of genius; it is a prose-poem. Some of her descriptions of mountain and "valley scenery are exquisitely beautiful and truthful. She revels in the beauties of wild nature. English naval officers (us we happen to know) sitting around their mess-table and touching their champagne glasses, may smile at what they style Miss Bird's descriptions as good specimens of " gush " in literature, but until they explore our mountains and valleys on horseback, and aftei a hard day's ride of forty miles over the rough and rugged lava roads of Hawaii, can sit down in a native hut hy the dim light of an old lamp, and write such letters ns this volume contains, we think 'these critics may modestly withhold their supercilious comments. Miss Bird came to the islands an invalid, and totally ignorant of what they contained. She came, too, with perhaps a tinge of prejudice, and at first thought of spending only a month, making merely a rapid trip to the crater of Kilauea; but how changed her plans, when with.the eye of a poet, a naturalist and a scientist, she began her explorations. For months she roamed over the islands, and this volume of letters to her sister in England, are the "jottings " which she noted from day to day. They partake of the sweet perfume of the fields and the woods, the valleys and the mountains. We regret that our book-sellers are so tardy in placing the volume upon their counters. A few copies were received by the last steamer, and ore for sale at Thrum's, and we learn that Whitney expects some by the next arrival from San Francisco. When we first glanced over this book, we were so much pleased with its contents that we ordered from London, by mail, three copies to be �82 THK VRIKM>,O l T 0 B X X forwarded to friends in the United States, and the remaining copy now lies before us. Our limits only allow us to copy a few paragraphs relating to. her second trip to Hawaii and her ascent of Mauna Kea. But few foreign ladies can pride themselves upon having ascended this rugged and steep mountain: I delight in Hawaii more than ever, with its unconveniential life, great upland sweeps, unexplored forests, riotous breezes, and general atmosphere of freedom, airiness, and expansion. As I find that a lady can travel nlone with perfect safety, I have many projects in view, but whatever 1 do or plan to do, I find my eyes always turning to the light on the top of Mauna Loa I know that the ascent is not feasible for me, and that so far as I am concerned the mystery must remain unsolved; but that glory, nearly 14,000 feet aloft, rising, falling, "a pillar of cloud by day nnd a pillar of fire by night," uplifted in its awful loneliness above all human interests, has an intolerable fascination. As the twilight deepens, the light intensifies, and often as I watch it in the night, it seems to flare up and take the form of a fiery palm-tree. No one has ascended the mountain since the activity began a month ago; but the fire is believed to be in , loneliest, saddest, dreariest expanse I ever saw. The aii was clear and the sun bright, yet •othing softened into beauty this formless desert of volcanic, sand, stones, and lava, on which tufts of grass and a harsh scrub war with wind and drought for a loveless existence. Yet, such is the effect of atmosphere, that Mauna Loa, utterly destitute of vegetation, nnd with his sides scored and stained by the black lava-flows of ages, looked like a sapphire streaked with lapis lazuli. Nearly blinded by scuds of sand, we rode for hours through the volcanic wilderness; always.the same rigid ntamane, (Sophora Chrysophylla ?) the same withered grass, and the same thornless thistles, through which the strong wind swept a desolate screech. The trail, which dips 1,000 feet, again ascends, the country becomes very wild, there are ancient craters of great height densely wooded, wooded ravines, the great bulk of Mauna Kea with his ragged crest towers above tumbled rocky regions, which look as if nature, disgusted with her work, had broken it to pieces in a passion; there are living and dead trees, a steep elevation, and below, a broad river of most jagged and uneven a-a. The afternoon fog, which serves instead of rain, rolled up in dense masses, through which we heard the plaintive bleating of sheep, and among blasted trees and distorted rocks we came upon old traditional crater of Mokuaweoweo, "inthe Kalaieha. a region rarely visited by man." A few dnys ago 1 was so fortunate as to make the acquaintance of Mr. W. L. Green (now Minister of the Interior), an English resident in Honolulu, a gentleman of wide scientific and literary culture, one of whose objects in visiting Hawaii is the investigation of certain volcanic phenomena. He asked me to make the ascent of Mauna Kea with him, and we have satisfactorily accom- plished it to-day. The interior of the island, in which we have spent the last two days, is totally different, not only from the luxuriant windward slopes, but from the fiery leeward margin. The altitude of the central plateau is from 5,000 to 6,000 feet, there is not a single native dwelling on it, or even a trail across it, it is totally destitute of water, and sustains only a miserable scrub of matnane, stunted ohias, pukeawe, ohelos, a few composite, and some of the hardiest ferns. The transient residents of this sheep station, and those of another on Hualalai, thirty miles off, are the only human inhabitants of a region as large as Kent. ' Wild goats, wild geese (Berniclo. sar.dvicensis), and the Melithreptcs Pacifica, constitute its chief population. These geese are web-footed, though water does not exist. They build their nests in the grass, and lay two or three white eggs. Our track from Waimea lay for the first few miles over light soil, destitute of any vegetation, across dry glaring rocky beds of streams, and round the bases of numerous tufa cones, from 200 to 1,600 feet in height, with steep smooth sides, composed of a very red ash. We crossed a flank of Mauna Kea. at a height of 6,000 feet, and a short descent brought us out upon this vast table land, which lies between the bulbous domes of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai, the 18 75. Mauna Kea, and the forests which skirt his base are the resort of thousands of wild cattle, and there are many men nearly ns wild, who live half savage lives in the woods, gaining their living by lassoing and shooting these animals for their skins. Wild black swine also abound. The mist as usual disappeared at night, leaving a sky wonderful with stars, which burned blue and pale against the furnace glare on the top of Mauna Loa, to which we are comparatively near. I woke at three from the hopeless cold, and before five went out with Mr. Green to explore the adjacent lava. The atmosphere was perfectly pure, and suflused with rose-color, not a cloudfleece hung round the mountain tops, hoarfrost whitened the ground, the pure white smoke of the volcano rose into the reddening sky, and the air was elixir. It has been said and written that there are no steam-cracks or similar traces of volcanic action on Mauna Kea, but in several fissures I noticed ferns growing belonging to an altitude 4,000 feet lower, and on putting my arm down, found a heat which compelled me to withdraw it, and as the sun rose these cracks steamed in all directions. There are caves full of ferns, lava bubbles in reality, crust over crust, each from twelve to eighteen inches thick, rolls of lava cooled in coils, and hideous a-a streams on which it is impossible to walk two yards without the risk of breaking one's limbs or cutting one's boots to pieces. After riding steadily for six hours, our horses, snorting and panting, and plunging up to their knees in fine volcanic ash, and halting, trembling and exhausted, every few feet, carried us up the great tufa cone which crowns the summit of this vast fire-flushed, fire-created mountain, nnd we dismounted in deep snow on the crest of the highest peak in the Pacific, 13,953 feet above the sea. This summit is a group of six red tufa cones, with very little apparent difference in their altitude, and with deep valleys filled with red ash between them. The terminal cone on which we were has no cavity, but most of those forming the group, ns well as the thirty which I counted around and below us, ure truncated cones with craters within, and with outer slopes, whose estimated angle is about 30 ° On these slopes the snow lay heavily. In coming up we had had a superb view of Mauna Loa, but before we reached the top, the clouds had congregated, and lay in glistening masses all round the mountain about half-way up, shutting out the smiling earth, and leaving us alone with the view of the sublime desolation of the volcano. We only remained an hour on the top, and came down by a very circuitous route, which took us round numerous cones, nnd . over miles of clinkers varying in size from a ton to a few ounces, and past a lake the edges of which were frozen, and which in itself is a curiousity, as no other part of the mountain "holds water." Not far off is a cave, a lava-bubble, in which the natives used to live when they came up here to quarry a very hard adjacent phonolite for their axes and other tools. While the others poked about, 1 was glad to make it a refuge from the piercing wind. Hundreds of unfinished axes lie round the cave entrance, and there is quite a large mound of unfinished chips. This isa very interesting spot to Hawaiian antiquaries. They argue, from the amount of the chippings, that this mass of phonolite was quarried for ages by countless generations of men, and that the mountain top must have been upheaved, and the island inhabited, in a very remote past. The stones have not been worked since Captain Cook's day; yet there is not a weather-stain upon them, nnd the air is so dry and ratified that meat will keep fresh for three months. 1 found a mass of crystals of the greenish volcanic glass, called olivine, imbedded in a piece of phonolite which looked as blue and fresh as if only quarried yesterday. We traveled for miles through ashes nnd scoria;, and then descended into a dense afternoon fog; but Mr. S. is a practiced mountaineer, and never faltered for a moment, and our horses made such good speed that late in the afternoon we were able to warm ourselves by a gallop, which brought us in here ravenous for supper before dark, having ridden for thirteen hours. I hope 1 have made it clear that the top of this dead volcano, whether cones or ravines, is deep soft ashes and sand. To-morrow morning I intend to ride the thirty miles to Waimea with two native women, and the next day to go off on my adventurous expedition to Hilo, for which I have bought for 846 a big, strong, heavy horse, which I have named Kahele. He has the poking head and unmistakable gait of a bullock horse, but is said to be "a good traveler." A disposition to do good, and go forward in duty, at any sacrifice, in the face of any obstacle, is the best evidence of grace in the heart. �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, EDITOR'S TABLE.

First edition. Published by 11. M. Whitney, Honolulu, 11. I , 1875. We take special interest in calling attention to this book of 144 pages. It is " multum in parvo." We only wonder something of the kind has not previously been issued, and only shows that we move rather slowly at the Sandwich Islands. The author of this little book is really a " live " man so far as types are concerned, and it seems strange that he has not previously started on this line of publication. Better late than never, as the old adage runs, and now, having a guide book, we recommend oil persons desirous of gleaning information respecting our islands to invest in the purchase of this book, and they may rely upon the information which it contains. The price is only sixty cents. Any of our readers in America or England who will send us seventy-five cents in postage stamps, we will send them by mail a copy of this little book. Correspondent in Japan. Kobe, Japan, Aug. 4th, 1875. Ilea. S. C. Damon:—l suppose you will be glad to hear of the recent movement at Sanda, twenty miles northwest of Kobe. On the 27th ult. a church was organized there. While so much is being done to circulate the Bible, it is cheering to know how the Gospel was first introduced at this station. Some ten or fifteen years ago a Bible or two in Chinese was lelt there, by whom we know not. The Daimio, being a liberal man, did not hinder those who understood that language from reading it. The number who read or heard it grew large, and became much interested in it. Hence when Mr. Dovis, two years ago, began to preach there, they gladly received his message. And it is said most of the church members of Kobe were originally from Sanda; and now a church of seven males and nine females has just been organized there. The house in which the church was organized has an interesting history. It is a one-story building, probably 100 feet by 50, covered with tile, and is said to have been built three hundred years ago, (fifty years before the pilgrims arrived in New England) and to have been occupied, until the recent revolution, by the Daimios, viz., governors of that district. The last one now lives in Kobe, and his mother is a member of the church here. It was recently sold to a company in Sunda, who let out part of it for a dispensary and hospital, and two large and 1875. 83 venders; and had spent his time in telling his ailments or in even retired from the field to the hospital, it Miss Dudley has spent four or five months would be easy to find circumstances to exif with them, and several other female mem- cuse, not to justify, such a course.

Grieving for her people, most of whom still feared to anger Pele, she announced that it was her intention to visit Kilauea (the largest known volcano), and dare the fearful goddess to do her worst. Her husband and many others tried to dissuade her, but she was resolute, and taking with her a large retinue, she took a journey of one hundred miles, mostly on foot, over the rugged lava, till she arrived near the crater. There a priestess of Pele met her, threatened her with the displeasure of the goddesa if she persisted, and prophesied that she and her followers would perish miserably. Then, as now, ohelo berries grew profusely round the terminal wall of Kilauea, and there, as elsewhere, were sacred to Pele, no one daring to eat of them till he had first offered some of them to the divinity. It was usual on arriving at the crater to break a br.inch covered with berries, and, turning the face to the pit of fire, throw half the branch over the precipice, saying, Pele, ' here are your ohelos. I offer some to you, •ionic I also eat;' afier which the natives partook of tlicin freely. Kapiolani gathered and ate them without this formula, after which she and her company of eighty persons descended to the black edge of Haleluau-mau. There, in full view of the fiery jut, she thus addressed her followers : ' JeIwivah is my God. He kindled these fires. 1 fear not Pele.

Trubner & Co. of London, for sending regular files of their "American and Oriental Literary Record/ From its perusal we glean many curious facts relating to the world's literature, not published in any other periodical. In reading some of the ambitious literary productions of the uge, one would be led to infer that former generations were very ignorant. From this periodical of Trubner & Co. we learn much relating to the ancient literature of India, but specially that department which has been for ages hid away in the Sanskrit language. The celebrated linguist and philologist, Max Muller, has done much to introduce to European readers a knowledge of Sanskrit literature. In the last number of the Record" which has just been received, we find a " - notice, by Edwin Arnold of Oxford University and formerly principal of a Sanskrit College at Poona, India, of the two great poems of India, which he styles " The Iliad and the Odyssey of India. ' We copy the following paragraphs relating to these two poems, one of which contains 200,000 verses, and the other 50,000. Both the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer contain only some 30,000 and Milton's Paradise Lost only 10.565 lines. two great, two colossal, two " There exist unparalled epic poems in the sacred language of India which were not known to Europe, even by name, till Sir William Jones announced their existence >and which, since his time, have been made public only by fragments, by specimens bearing to those vast treasures of Sanskrit literature such small proportion as cabinet samples of ore have to the riches of a silver mine. Yet these most remarkable poems contain all the history of ancient India, so far as it can be recovered, together with such inexhaustible details of its political, social, and religious life, that the antique Hindoo world really stands epitomized in them. The Old Testament is not more interwoven with the Jewish race, nor the New Testament with the civilization of Christendom, nor the Koran with the records and destinies of Islam, than these two Sanskrit poems with that unchanging and teeming population whifch Her Majesty rul«s as Empress of Hindostan. The stories, songs, and ballads, the histories and genealogies, the nursery tales and religious discourses, the art, the learning, tbe philosophy, the creeds, the moralities, the modes of thought, the very phrases, sayings, turns of expression, and daily ideas of the Hindoo people are taken from these poems. Their children and their wives are named out of them; so are their cities, temples, streets, and cattle. They have constituted the library, the newspaper, and the Bible, generation after generation, to all the succeeding and countless millions of Indian people ; and it replaces patriotism with that race and stands in stead of nationality to most interesting MMEMi, OCTOBER, 1815. possess these two precious and inexhaustible books, and to drink from them as from might)' and overflowing rivers. The value ascribed in Hindostan to these two littleknown epics has transcended all literary standards established here. They are personified, worshiped, and cited from as some* thing divine. To read or even listen to them is thought by the devout Hindoo sufficiently meritorious to bring prosperity to his household here and happiness in the next world ; they are held also to give wealth to the poor, health to the sick, wisdom to the ignorant; and the recitation of certain parvas and shlokcs in them can fill the household of the Darren, it is believed, with children " Yet these national paeins—the Mahabharat and the Kamayana, the literary palladia of India—remain unknown to Europe, and have never been translated by command of the English Government, as beyond question they should have been. Nothing, in truth, can Quite excuse the indifference shown in this default. The Kamayana of Valmiki, answering most to the Odyssey, has just been completed tal melody the hearts of all the Indian people If we have effected this, our purpose is accomplished. In another paper, and on a future occasion, we hope to notice the remarkable translation which Mr. Ralph Griffith, of tne Benares College, has achieved from the Sanskrit of that sister-poem of the Mahabharata—the voluminous Kamayana." The Murder of Commodore Goodenough. —Some one has kindly sent us a copy of the Auckland weekly Herald containing a full report of the death of this noble officer of the British navy. It appears that he received his death wounds from the poisoned arrow of the natives of Santa Cruz, the island where the late Bishop Patteson was cut off". The Commodore was in command of the Australian naval station, and was highly esteemed. His lamented death and that of two or three of his seamen, has called forth expressions of sympathy from not only the people of the Colonies, but also from the " Queen of England.

Triennial Catalogue of Amherst College. connected with the college, and among them four from our islands, viz, Whitney, Shipman, Bond and Peterson. Few colleges in America can exhibit a more honorable lecord for a half century's growth nnd development. The faculty now embraces twenty-two professors nnd tutors. The college is amply endowed and furnished with chapels, lecture rooms, dormitories, gymnasium, museums, and all the means and appliances of a first class institution. It is situated on one of the most lovely sites of New England, commanding a view of the Connecticut Valley, through which the " winding nnd willowfringed " river of the same name wends its passage to the ocean. Opposite Amherst on the other side of the river is situated Northampton, or Beecher's " Norwood," where are located Smith's Female College and the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, while only a few miles away to the south, nestling under the brow of Mt. Holyoke, is situated Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary, of world wide fame. Only one mile north of Amherst College is situated Massachusetts Agricultural College, which is taking rank as one of the most successful institutions of that class in America. These are not all Ihe institutions of learning in that vicinity, but we may add Williston Seminary in East Hampton, Amherst and Hadley Academies, and Mt. Pleasant High School; and we know not but others of a kindred nature. We are not aware as any spot in America within a radius of ten miles contains so many and so varied a cluster of literary institutions of a high order. In these days when the idea of University education is gradually taking possession of the American mind, why might not all these colleges, seminaries and academies be combined under one head ? • They would surely form a University equal to any in America, or any other land. They are situated in the heart of New England. So long as the heart pulsates responsive to the demands of America and the world, there is hope for the future. This is a beautifully printed pamphlet of 115 pages, and contains a full catalogue of all the graduates since the foundation of the institution. The first class contained only three graduates, but one of the trio was the widely known and justly honored Professor Snell, who has been connected with the college as a student and teacher from its origin. He has lectured to fifty successive classes, and still appears before the students in the lecture room as interested, instructive and skillful in the performance of the most delicate experiments in Natural Philosophy as in the earlier years of his professional life. The Rev. Dr. Tyler, Professor of Greek, has for more than forty years been connected with the college. These gentlemen with Beware of Thinking Evil. their honored associates have brought forward 2,172 young men, who have gone English and Australian papers give much forth to the varied walks of professional life, space to the case of Col.

Death of a Prominent Hawaiian. The Honorable Paul Nahaolelua, died at Lahaina on the 6th inst. after an illness of eight month?, in the seventieth year of his age, he having been horn at Kawaihae, Hawaii, on the llth of September, 180C. He began life as a schoolmaster at Kaupn, Maui; subsequently he entered tbe High School of Lah&inaluna, after leaving which he beoame successively District and Circuit Judge on Maui. For several years be acted as Deputy for Governor James Young Kanehoa, and succeeded tho latter on his decease, in 1*352. He continued to bold the office of Governor of Maui until 1874, when on tbe ooceasion of His present Majesty, he was appointed Minister of Finance. The infirmities of age anil tbe approaches of tbe disease to which he finally succumbed, caused his retiracy from offioe on the 81st of October, 1874, stnoe which time be hr.s resided at Lahaina. He leaves a widow, an adopted sod and two grandchildren. Tbe deceased was a man of sterling character, prompt, honorable and straightforward, and was highly esteemed for bis executive ability by successive Kings, in whose councils he held a prominent place. By his own positive directions bis funeral took place on tbe day of bia death, without any of tbe pomp and display to wbiob Hawaiians (and others as well) are so partial, nnd bis body, enclosed in a plain pine coffin, was deposited in a vault in tbe cemetery of tbe Kpisoopal church of Lahaina.—P.

Is it any wonder the people of India are sunken in the depths of superstition and idolatry, when such poems are to them what the Old Testament is to the Jew, the New Testament to the Christian, and the Koran to the Mohammedan ? Our Saviour said, quoting from Moses, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." The soul of man needs wholesome spiritual food, that food is not in the two great poems of India, in the Arabian Nights Entertainment, Hawaiian Meles, or any merely human productions; but is to be found alone in the Bible.

Dear Friend:—l have read with interest and some surprise in your October number, extracts from a notice of the two great poems of Hindoostan, the Mahabarata and the Ramayana, by Prof. Arnold of Oxford University, which are represented by him as marvelous treasures of literature, hitherto utterly unknown to the European mind, and "which may claim a grander scheme and higher aims thnn either," (the Iliad or the Odyssey) and " which, in some portions, may be contrasted to the advantage of Hindoo teaching, with any Scriptural representation of Death and of Love." These prolix epics of the Sanscrit, or ancient Dewanagari tongue of Hindoostan, cannot be so much unknown to Western intelligence as dfe Professor represents. When I made an enforced stay on the island of Java, I had some leisure and opportunity lor study; and among other matters, 1 perused a voluminous story, named the Barataynda or Sacred war, both in the Javanese language, and in an English translation by Sir Stamford Raffles, of which extracts are to be found in his history of Java. This story is a Javanese epitomized version of the Sanscrit Mahabarata; and this Hindoo poem is read by natives of Java, both in the original of the Asiatic continent, and in their own insular tongue—and consequently is well known to—and frequently mentioned by English and Dutch writers in India, such as Raffles, Crawford, Van Carnbee, and many others. The sister poem of the Indian Peninsula, the Ramayana is better Awn than the Mahabarata, not only to the Javanese, but to, the Malay people of the Indian Archipelago j and must be rather familiar to European, scholars and readers. I read the Malay, version of this poem, vfhich consists mainly of an account of the rambles and adyentures of the hero Sri Rama, or Illustrious Rama �I 90 III: in search of his wife Sita ; and in this respect the Hamayana may be said to bear some resemblance to the Odyssey which celebrates the adventures of the Grecian hero Ulysses in quest of his wife Penelope. But surely such a resemblance ; and because the Mahabarata celebrates a war, even as the Iliad celebrates a war, are not sufficient reasons for comparing the Indinn poems with the Grecian epics, and for naming the former compositions the " Iliad and Odyssey of India." What ground is there for the flaming eulogy of the Hindoo vaticinations, to the disparagement of the beautiful and majestic genius of Greece ? Is it in consequence of quantity? And because 250,000 Indian verses, so greatly overreach the 30,000 Grecian lines? Why, I know a Hawaiian mele writer who could produce and print 250,000 lines about "Serpent Kingdoms containing " one hundred thou- " sand snakemen," and other such rigmarole ds is found in the Mahabarata and quoted by Arnold in no very considerable length of time. Is the Hindoo imagination about the "Aswamedha, or Sacrifice of the Sacred Horse," an animal which had " milk flowing from its ears, and produced camphor in its flesh, and from whose intestines light beamed and flashed," any less extravagant and absurd than the Hawaiian conception of a half sheep and half man adventuring through kingdoms in the air? Then why this extravagant laudation of certain Asiatic compositions, said to be so long hidden from Western intelligence ? And what can warrant such language as Professor Arnold uses, and which I have alreatta quoted—disparaging the masterpieces of the mind of Greece, and even the inspired Volume of God ? Professor Arnold is evidently one of the school of thinkers who mock at the Biblical " legend;" and who like Strauss in his " Old Faith and the New," would substitute Cosmism, a worship of science and art, and a scheme of life derived from the theory of evolution in the stead of Divine Revelation and Redemption. Such thinkers elated with the pride of intellectual culture, scorn the " legend " that reduces all mankind to one common level through sin. They believe in aristocracies of soul, and disdain the humiliation, contrition and tears of the sinner. Their prophets and poets, like Strauss and Goethe, teach that man can save himself, or lead humanity to a higher plane of existence through the ptffaction of knowledge. And hence they hatftbove all things the story of the Cross, and delight to attempt its disparagement by laudations—sometimes of Gredan genius, or as in this instance of Hindoo mythology and cosmogony, or of Confucian moralizing*, or of Zoroastrian rhapsodies, or of Vedic myths, Runic Sagas, or of other FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1s 7 ii. effusions of the mind of man in past ages of this appear, apart from literary curiosity, as credulity. an illustration of the teaching of love, —to But what consolation for humanity, in a one who in earnestness and candor of soul state of •in and sorrow, is there in any of has read the story of the compassionate these productions of human imagination ?

And yet it is this child spirit, following a Lamb, which a Yudishthira needed to elevate his soul to a conception of Divine Love, which nn Arnold needs, when he contrasts the rude passions of Hindoo imagination with the love of Jesus who gave up His life on the cross for the sake of His persecuting fellow men; and which an evolutionist needs, when he would offer, through art and science, a consolation to poor, sinning and sorrowing fellow men, instead of the scheme of Divine Love, that gave an only Begotten Son for circumstance which, if not a proof of his theory, is a wonderful coincidence: At Copan, in Central America, n two-horned figure has been found which is now unknown here, but which resembles closely the Chinese symbol ofFokee; and Chinese history records that Fokee was a great "stranger" king, who came from over the sea and introduced picture-writing among the Chinese. Mr. Brooks' theory is certainly a plausible one.

" . 91 18. 5. 2875, A. d.—A writer in the Christian with somewhat of an imaginative Union, and speculative turn of mind, fancies what may be the topic of conversation one thousand years hence, or in 2875, a. d. The Honorable Mr. Plimsoll will have, no doubt, a place in the history of English shipping and commerce. After referring to the discussion in England and relating to unseaworthy ships, this writer continues thus : The above suggests a possible scene, say in 2575 a. d., between an ingenuous youth and a teacher in history. Teacher: "So these rich men were in the habit of sending their ships to sea till they were worn out and rotten ; and if when the sailors found they were unsafe ihey refused to go in them, they were put in prison and punished ; and very many of these ships went down, and thousands of sailors perished. And at last a man named Plimsoll found these things out, and went into the Great Council of the People, and told of them." Ingenuous Youth: "And what did the Council do 7 " Teacher: " They said they had other things attend to, and that it was very wicked of Plimsoll to lose his temper and speak disrespectfully." Youth: But wasn't England a Christian nation ? " Teacher: "Oh yes, " and spent vast sums a very Christian nation, to maintain Christianity. But at this time, part of the church were very busy in preventing a Wesleyan minister from putting 'Rev.' before his name on his daughter's tombstone ; and part were contending about which side of the table the priest ought to stand at the Lord's Supper; and so the church couldn't pay much attention to the sailors." Youth: "And what became of Plimsoll and what became of the church ? " —What the teacher will have to answer, remains to be seen. to • Home Again.—We clip the following from the Greenville (Michigan) Independent of Sept. 16th: Church and family are expected lo a visit.

EdbaiCteomyCMYhf.eA. Some Time. Some time, when all life's lessons have been learned, And suns nnd stars forevermore have set. The things whioh our weak judgments here have spurned. The things o'er whiob we grieved with lashes wet, Will Huh before ns, and light life's dark night. As stars shine most in deeper lints of bine; And we shall see how all Qod's plans were right, And what most seemed reproof was love most true. And we shall see, how. while we frown and sigh, God's plans go on as best for yon and me; How, when we called, he heeded not our cry, Because his wisdom to tbe end could see; And c'en as prudent parents disallow Too much of sweet to craving babyhood, So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now Life's sweetest things because it seemth good. And yon shall shortly know that lengthened breath Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend. And that sometimes the sable pall of death Conceals the fairest boon his love can send. If we could push ajar the gates of life. And stand within, and all God's working see. We could interpret all Ibis doubt and strife, And for eaoh mystery could find a key. But not to-day. Then be content, poor heart! God's plans, like lilies, pure and white unfold. We roust not tear the close-shut leaves apart: Time will reveal tho calyxes of gold. And if, through patient toil, we reach the land Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may rest. Where we shall dearly know and understand, I think that we shall say, •• God knew the best." —Helen Hunt. " God Tempers the Wind to the Shorn Lamb." The touching truthfulness of this sentiment has been called to mind while listening to the story of shipwreck and exposure off Cape Horn, from the lips of Mrs. Groves, wife of Captain Groves of the Albert Gallatin. In the very depth of a Cape Horn winter, with wind blowing a living gale," " amid thunder, lightning and storm, they were compelled to embark in an open boat, and then for eighteen days to be exposed to alternate snow storms and hail; now landing on rocky shores, sleeping among rocks, and then embarking, yet compelled to subsist, one hardly knew how! Yet, out of all these hardships the delicate mother, with an infant in her arms, came forth in health and safety.

Mrs. Groves and her two children are now stopping at the Sailors' Home; and the ladies of Honolulu are doing ajl in their power for thejr comfort. Rev. W. Spear, D.D. The visit of this gentleman at Honolulu from San Francisco will be remembered. His interest in behalf of the Chinese of California is well known. He once edited the Oriental partly in Chinese and partly in English, and was for many yeara a missionary in China, where he acquired an intimate acquaintance with the language and people, as appears from his book entitled " Chirm and the United States." We are glad to learn from a late number of the New York Observer, that he has resigned his position as secretary wsfthe Presbyterian Board of Education in Philadelphia, and will resume labor in behalf of the Chinese. This is as it should be. Many others may act as secretary of the Board, but few are so well fitted to labor for the Chinese. The editor of the Observer remarks as follows : " He does not propose to return to China, but to devote himself to the benefit of the Chinese in this country, by writing and lecturing. Because of his acquaintance with the language, character and habits of this people, he is peculiarly adapted to a labor in their behalf such as he proposes, and which has been urged upon him by others." with a stronger sense of humanity than is often practiced by nations claiming a higher degree of civilization, forbade the vessel leaving the harbor with the coolies on board, and insisted that they should be set free. Further, Japan provided the unfortunates with a passage to their homes in China. The Government of Peru claimed damages from the Government of Japan for the course pursued, and sent two iron-dads to enforce the demand. By the intervention of the English and American legations at Yeddo. an agreement was brought about by which the whole subject was referred to ihe Emperor of Russia for arbitration. The award of the Emperor Alexander completely justifies Japan in the proceedings taken, and declares the government not responsible to Peru for the consequences brought about by the stay of the Maria Ijuz in the port of Yokohama. This verdict will go a long way toward bringing the coolie traffic into greater disrepute than it is even at present. Before the award was given, the action of the government of the Mikado had resulted in robbing the trade of some of its horrors. It led to treaties between China, Peru and Portugal, under which all three governments undertook to exercise supervision, so as to prevent anything like the abuses which were shown attached to the shipment of coolies carried by the Maria Luz.

TWO GERMAN CRUSOES In the Atlantic, about midway between the coast of South America and the Cape of Good Hope, in 37 ° 6' south latitude, lies the island of Tristan da Cunha, with two lesser islands in its neighborhood. The Challenger, H. M. ship, commanded by Captain Nares, now on a scientific expedition, reached Tristan da Cunha late at night, on the 14th October, 1873. Next morning, a landing was effected, a,nd the island, which is nineteen or twenty miles in circumference, was found to have a, settlement of eighty souls in all. The history of this little colony is curious. In 1816, a company of British artillery was stationed on the island, with a view to keep watch on Napoleon Bonaparte, then in captivity in St. Helena. It seems almost ridiculous to have taken this precaution, for St. Helena is about thirteen hundred miles distant, and one would think the guard could have been of no avail. Perhaps it was thought, that in the various mad schemes to rescue Napoleon, Tristan da Cunha might have been made a base of operations. When the illustrious captive died in 1821, the British soldiers were withdrawn, leaving only a corporal of the name of Glass, with one or two companions, to take charge of the small fort that had been exploring expedition—that of taking soundings. It was a matter of much regret when this vessel and her consort were turned aside from their most useful employment of looking for sunken rocks, low islands, and other erected. obstructions to safe navigation in the Pacific.

Probably the Tristan da Cunha people considered that their residing on the island interfered with their hunting ground; at all events, after their kindness to them on arriving on the island, their conduct was at least inexplicable. "In February, potatoes and other vegetables, mixed with pigs' fat, formed their daily feed ; but in inarch, that food being exhausted, another visit was paid to the plateau, and the goats were then missed, which they had abstained from shooting, but they shot several pigs. At this time, their one great comfort, tobacco, failed, and this to a German is more than we English should feel; they tried to replace it by dried leaves, but without success. " The dogs which they had brought on shore broke loose, and played sad havoc among the penguins, killing great numbers, and as one was apparently mad, the three were shot. It was now decided that the brothers should separate for a time, the elder to remain on the plateau to provide food, whilst the younger remained below to melt down and store the fat, and attend to the clearing; the want of salt prevented curing the flesh. Three young pigs had been caught and got down the cliffs without injury, then secured to a cask and towed round the point, but were nearly drowned on their passage; they were placed in a sty, and fed with grass and what could be spared from the garden, and also with penguins' eggs, when procurable. "At the end of April, the elder rejoined the younger, and in the attempt to convey two more pigs round the bluff, was nearly drowned; the pigs were. In June, Frederic again went to the plateau, and remained there until the 18th of August; the brothers were not altogether without communication during that time, for, excepting when the noise of.the wind or surf prevented, they could hold a kind of conversation. In June, July, and August, they lived on pigs' flesh only ; the penguins then began to lay, and in their eggs they had abundance of food.' Evidently, this precarious mode of life could not last. The brothers had made a grievous mistake in not following out their original intention of selling in Tristan da Cunha, and subsequently they committed a serious blunder in not taking the earliest opportunity of leaving a spot where they endured a series of extraordinary hardships. "At length they had the good fortune to be happily rescued. The captain of the Challenger, when at Tristan da Cunha, having heard that two Germans had landed on Inaccessible Island, twenty miles to the south-west, two years previously, feared they were in difficulties, and went to their succor. of The ship arrived at the island on the 16th October, found the two unfortunate exiles, took them on board, and carrying them off, terminated their wretched Robinson Crusoelike existence."

Thunder storms are not frequent in this latitude, but still when they do occur the lightning and thunder are terrific. On the day appointed for the removal of the remains of His late Majesty, Lunalilo, from the Royal Mausoleum to the new Tomb erected in the yard of the Stone Church, there occurred a thunder storm of marked power.

DECEMBER 8. ISTA. New Books Relating to Polynesia. ( I MH X R . 1815. Son. Why should not other German Houses, doing business at our group, assist Judge Fornander ? Since writing the above paragraphs, in which we venture to predict that other books on Polynesia will be written, the Advertiser has appeared with a notice of at least three forthcoming works on topics relating to Polynesia. These notices appear in a London correspondent's letter. We learn that F. Birgham is the writer, a German gentleman, who spent a few years in Honolulu. We copy as follows: At the meeting of the British Association, in the Anthropological section, the Rev. Wyatt Gill, who has lived upwards of twenty years in the Hervey Islands, combated Mr. Wallaces's theory of the origin of the Polynesians Mr. Gill holds, that the present race entered the Pacific from the southeast fork of New Guinea, but were driven eastward by the fierce Negrito race. The greatest distance from land to land, which they would have to travel in their eastward passage, would be from Samoa to the Hervey group, a distance of only about 700 miles. Mr. Gill will also shortly publish a book on the Songs and Myths of the South Pacific," "with a preface by Max Muller, the celebrated of the island as well as taking daily sounding outside the reef. They found a depth of over 1000 fathoms of water about 500 yards distant from our reef yesterday, and to-day they expect to find some objects of interest Some persons are asking, " Why write so many books about Polynesia ?" We answer, because it is a most fruitful theme upon which to exercise the pen of the ethnologist, philologist, historian, missionary, and lover of general literature. We make no hesitation in hazarding the remark, that the books already published are only a tythe of what will be written. Judge Fornander, on Maui, has the manuscript of a new book, nearly ready for the press. Its title, Origin and Migrations of the Polynesian Race, and the Ancient History of the Hawaiian People to the Times of Kamehameha I. Here you see, reader, that Judge Fornander has entered an entirely new field, and boldly pushed his way into prehistoric ages. If we have a correct idea of this book, it is based upon an examination and comparison of the meles," or ancient songs of Polynesians living on various groups of islands in linguist. , " the North and South Pacific. These meles have been handed down from ancient times —as were the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer —before these islands were visited by missionaries and the dialects of Polynesia reduced to written forms. If we understand the theory, these meles contain much in common. Similar words can be traced from one group to another, back to the Malay Islands, and from thence to languages spoken by the inhabitants living around the Persian Gulf.' A work of this nature must prove intensely interesting to Max Muller and other philologists. Dwight, in his " Modern Philology," traces back the inflected languages of Europe to India, and now Mr. Fornander, from the scattered elements of Polynesian meles, frem ><n opposite part of the world, runs past India and penetrates the Persian Gulf. We shall be surprised if he does not bring forth from those olden times some treasures of rare worth to the scholar and the historian. We hope he may find a publisher who will issue the volume in good style, and if a few hundred dollars are needed we think some of our merchants might render a little generous aid. We notice with pleasure the German House ef J. C. Godeflroy & Son, doing business at the Samoa Islands and in Micronesia, are publishing a series of illustrated works on natural history, relating to J. H. dc Ricci, F. R. G. S., the British Attorney General for Fiji, has just published a book on Fiji, our new province in the South Seas. Another Polynesia novelty is Old and New Zealand," by an old Pakeha "Maori. Dana's " Corals and Coral Islands " already appears in the second edition. The missionaries of the South Pacific Islands under, I believe, the direction of Mr. Turner, the author of " Nineteen Years in Polynesia," arc about to compile a comparative grammar and dictionary of Polynesian dialects. Some of the languages spoken in the Polynesian group possess words of the greatest interest to the comparative philologist, and it is to be hoped that the linguistic labors of the missionaries of the Pacific will throw more light on the origin of the Polynesian races.

The captain and officers have done kind services to our missionaries at some places where they have touched, especially in refitting our steamer at New Guinea after her stormy voyage from England to Cape York, and it is a pleasure to me to aid in promoting the object of their visit to Tahiti. The ship Challenger arrived here on the 18th inst., after a passage, I believe, of 30 days from your port. On arrival here the captain intended to remain only a week, Polynesia. Mr. Garrett, the American Natu- but the whole party has met with a good reralist, so well known throughout Polynesia, ception, and all are agreed that an extension and who gathered all sorts of strange fish' 'of time in port will be advantageous. The and sea " monsters " for Prof. Agassiz, has scientific corps have divided themselves out found liberal patrons' in J. C. Godeffroy k in companies, and have explored many parts ' in dredging. On approaching the islands 4S hours before their arrival they found a depth of 2300 fathoms, 24 hours afterwards, at a distance of about 10 miles from land, they found a depth of only 1500 fathoms, which would seem to indicate that there is a gradual slope from the land, and that our mountains are the tops of submerged mountain ranges of immense height. Other items of news of the port are that the Gallissionere, the iron clad corvette, bearing the flag of the French Admiral Perigot, left our station on a cruise on the 15th inst., after a stay of 71 days in pr.rt. We have also the English ship Eddystone here discharging cargo. She arrived here from Roza Island with guano on April 11th. and after discharging a portion of her cargo and undergoing considerable repairs, left again for Queenstown, Ireland, on July 28th, having left about 400 tons of her cargo behind, but in 48 hours after her departure she reappeared, having sprung a fresh leak, and that a much worse one than that by which she was compelled to take refuge in the first place in our harbor. She has now nearly discharged and will, I expect, be condemned. Another leaky ship came into port on the 16th of July, the American whaling bark Selali, she had a large quantity of sperm oil on board, which was forwarded to San Francisco by our mail vessel Percy Edward early in August. The Selah was condemned, and has subsequently been sold by auction and realized $510. It appears she experienced very heavy weather off Pitcaims Island. The captain had two whales alongside when he was overtaken by the gale, they managed however to save the whales, but the vessel was so much shaken that they could not keep at sea without great risk of losing the vessel and their own lives, so they bore down for Tahiti. On the evening of the 18th an amateur soiree and magic lantern exhibition was given in the enclosure of the French Protestant School here on behalf of the inundation fund, and the success was very encouraging. The band from the Challenger enlivened the scenes, and every one who attended was well pleased, and the proceeds amounted to about 1200 francs. The idea was conceived by the Rev. Ch. Virnot, the director of the school. Commandant and Queen with all the officials were present, as also Captain Thomson, Prof. Thomson, and many other gentlemen from the Challenger. James L. Green. �THE FRIEND, MARINE JOURNAL. I Ship Emerald which was burned partial- ly some weeks ago, and has been lying dismantled in our harbor, was sold on the first of December for 17,500.

Phenomena of the Elements.—On Tuesday, while the remains of tbe late King were en route for the tomb at Kawaiahao, a heavy thunder storm passed over this city,—tome of tbe claps would have done honor to the locality of Cape Hatteras, famed for tbe superiority of its thunder and lightning.

A young man, who was formerly connected with an American vessel ol war, touching at Honolulu, and now in the employ of a railroad company in Northern India, thus writes from Lahore, under date of August 14th, 1875: I have just returned from a prayer-meeting" among the soldiers. Tne first question 1 found in agitation when I arrived, was of the Bible on the temperance question. One of the officers of the Native Infantry, who*ls a most earnest and serious Christian, having succeeded in prevailing upon the Colonel to make the Temperance Society a regimental affair, said : ' Now boys, we must have the open Bible on the table. The Catholic Chaplain has forbidden those of his Church to join us, it can give no offence now. All who come must be men to whom the Bible is the standard of their faith, so let us have it and have it open. We see how men fail in their own strength, but they will not, cannot slip, if our Great Commander leads the way.' " The men heartily concurred with him in this most desirable arrangement, and I am certain its being carried out will add to the discomfiture of the cursed liquor traffic. An officer gave us a very earnest and impressive lecture on St. Paul's conversion, after which a German lady, Miss Seeley, prayed fervently. We then sang several hymns, and parted with a cordial good night. Thus you see we have not been left in this hard, cold and Mahommedan and Hindoo land without light, and Christ has witnesses." " Hold the Fort." In the CatskiU Recorder of the 16th ult., we find a report of an address made by the Rev. J. B. Thompson, D. D., at a Sunday school anniversary of the Reformed Church, held on the late national anniversary. In this address is given the fullest and most interesting account we have seen of the origin and associations of one of the most remarkable hymns used by Messrs. Moody and Sankey during their work in Great Britain. We give some extracts from the address, and at the close append the hymn : " Sherman and his army had become quite at home at Atlanta, and the General was planning for his historic ' March to the Sea.' But the enemy gave him enough else to think about at that time. Small garrisons had been left at every exposed point on the line ofrailroad all the way from Chattangooga to Atlanta; and now the enemy, swinging round from the front, was marching to sever his connections in the rear. Sherman turned back, but was too late to intercept him. Quick to meet emergencies, he climbed with his signal corps to the top of Kenesaw mountain. In the valley below to the north were the heavy masses of hostile infantry, artillery and cavalry, marching northward. He at once inferred that they were moving on Allatoona, an important post on the railroad, eighteen miles north. The telegraph wires place had already been cut. But from the top of Kenesaw Sherman signaled over the heads of the enemy to the small garrison at Ailatoona the fact of his approach. The message sent by signal flag read, as reported, ' Hold the fort—l am coming'" What a history these words have ! You know what blessings have attended the evangelistic labors of Messrs. Moody and Sankey in Great Britain, and their work is still deepening and widening First and chief of all the songs they sing is, " Hold the Fort." It is the most popular melody in the United Kingdom. to that UOLD THE FORT.

Ralston long had a great run of luck, but he lived to find the general law assert itself in his case. Festina Lente. Hymn FOR WHICH A PRIZE OF : $100 WAS AWARDED BY THE COMMITTEE APPOINTED BY THE EDITOR OF THE RIAN." " ROCKY MOUNTAIN PRESBYTF.- The story of this hymn is interesting. About seven hundred hymns and poems were submitted to the Committee, and they were to select the hymn best adopted to the Home Missionary work, and to give the writer of it $100. To the writer of the best poem for the same purpose, they were to give $50. 4 'They failed to select a poem, but unanimously agreed upon the hymn below as the best, on the whole, for the object proposed. But the writer of it required, as a condition of accepting the award, that her name should not be given to the public, but thatthe hymn, if published, should be announced as by a lady of Virginin." The hymn has been accepted, and we have great pleasure in givit to our readers :— If. Y. Observer. " • Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven, " By thy grace we will." Make Haste Slowly. Editor :—Since the death of Mr. Mr. Ralston, late of the Bank of California, there have appeared numerous biographies of him, all more or less flattering and describing his career as that of a very extraordinary man— one worthy of imitation perhaps by the rising generation. His portrait also occupies a prominent position in public places, notably in the bank of this city. But it strikes me that the lesson to be learned from Ralston's career,—particularly by young men, who in the heat and hopefulness of youth are especially liable to be dazzled by the transient glare of temporary distinction,—is one of patience and prudence. It will be found that it is better to feel our way as we go and be sure of consequences, rather than to leap in the dark with the expectation of alighting in a valley of gold. We need neither envy nor emulate the few who by the dashing and dare-devil style of action win great fortunes rapidly; for, while we only hear of those who come out safely on the top of the tide, the shores of trade are strewn with the wrecks of their fellows who likewise ventured their all upon what they supposed the flood-tide of fortune and failed, not for want of executive ability, but simply because the chances in their favor failed. There is a general law of certain factors, probably pro- HOME MISSIONARY HYMN.

" Feebly now they toil in sadness, Weeping o'er the waste around, Slowly gathering grains of gladness. While their echoing cries resound.— " Pray that reapers In God's harvest may abound."

By Thy Spirit, Bring thy ransomed people home. — Soon shall end the time of weeping. Soon the reaping time will come, Heaven and earth together keeping God's eternal Harvest Home: Saints and angels!

We opine that it is to be a year of most stirring I'vtDtß in the political and religious world. Prominent among the events of a goneral and worldwide interest will occur the great American Centennial. So far as our narrow limits will allow, we shall notice topics connected with this grand celobration. Much good wo trust will grow out of it, to both America and tbe world. As Qod has made of one blood all nations of men for to "dwell on all the face of tbe earth," wby should they not meet and become acquainted? We are confident it will promote good feeling, and we hope conduce' to the spread of true Christianity. Let us heartily pray for this result, and begin by attending upon the meetings of theweek of prayer in Honolulu, to be held in tbe morning at tbe Bethel and in tbe evening at tbe Fort Street Church. We extend a cordial invitation to all residents, strangers, and seamen. — San Francisco." This is a beautiful sea-going craft, combining all those requisites necessary to fit her for passenger and freight carrying across the broad Pacific. The Webb line of steamers with their cumbrous side-wheels were fitted for passengers, and the English steamers were designed for freight; but now we have really a model steamer combining exactly those qualities required for the route between Sydney and San Francisco. The accommodations and all the " fittings " seemed to be in the highest style of naval architecture and mechanical execution. She has shown that speed is also combined with her other qualities. It was our privilege in 1849 to take passage from Honolulu to Oregon, and from Oregon to San Francisco, on board the steamer Massachusetts, the first propeller built by Ericson, and the first American steamer in the Pacific ; and we cannot but contrast the old Massachusetts of 1849 with the City of San Francisco of 1875. Verily there is progress. It is refreshing to think that hereafter we shall have a line of steamers across the Pacific touching at Honolulu, which must necessarily answer every reasonable wish and expectation of the traveling community and our merchants.

[From the Slaile Wreath.] THE POETIC POSSIBILITIES OF THE PACIFIC. The immortality of heroic and poetic deeds and incidents does not depend upon the temporal prosperity of the people or age that gave them birth. The beauty of manly courage and conquest, the divine power of unselfish love, the pathos of life's suffering and pain, as displayed in far off days, still thrill the world; while the poets of our time find their choicest inspiration in lands and scenes of which men have sung and dreamed for three thousand years. Ever loyal to its early classic founts," the world has, " however, found with every advancing phase of history and discovery new themes for song, appearing in varied form and beneath distant skies, mirrored in unfamiliar seas, yet by their very birthright ofpoetic beauty claiming a place among the treasures of the race, Not alone were the shores which skirted the blue waters of the Mediterranean to be the scenes of actions worthy of mention in verse. Even the dwellers there dreamed of a fairer land, nor have their dreams proved false. As has been well said :" To the imagination of the ancient Greek or Roman, the pillars of Hercules formed the entrance into a dark and mysterious sea ; yet, somewhere in its unknown waters toward the setting of the sun, lay, in his belief, the Fortunate Islands, under a clearer sky and in a happier climate than any known in the world of men." Through the centuries as men have sailed out of these dim portals toward the west they have been met by the presence of grander lands, than ever colored the yearning fancy of the Greek; not Elysium, but a new world fitted to be the theater ofmuch of the best history of mankind. The poetry of America has but just begun, but its music of freedom fills the earth. Over its border lies the Pacific. Have we found the Fortunate Islands at last ?

We will not claim for our ihemes any very exalted place, only a right to be heard among the melodies of older and more honored nations. For coming from a common parent-stock in the dim past have these ocean-dwellers found new homes among the countless islands of the Pacific. The mystery which enshrouds their origin is poetry itself, but he who may yet come to sing their birth must chant too the requiem over rices fast fading before the approach of other and stronger peoples. Lowly and unknown as is their history, we shall yet see more clearly their place in the common brotherhood of our humanity, while these foam-girt isles will still remain to be the scene tf some new revelation in the divine and harmonious plan of Him who is God and Father of F.

To the Editor of the Friend: Whilst writing to you on the subject of Hindoo poetry,* and its claim as the sacred writing of a numerous people, 1 was led to reflect upon the deadness of all the past oracles of the world, except the Spirit of Christ, which is now the only living influence to lift up the hearts of men, above this planet, to another and a better life. Those imagined gods of India, Krishna, Vishnu and Indra, are now mere poetic and patriotic traditions, and are no longer as of old, powers with life and death in the voices of their oracles. Confucius is no more than a Chinese classic, and Salivana the founder of the philosophic faith of Asia is but a name for an Indian era. All the gods are indeed gone ; Jupiter and his classic Olympian company, along with those bloody imaginations tailed Ashtaroth, Moloch and Baal have been extinguished by the advancing intelligence and awakened common sense of mankind, even as our Hawaiian Lonos and Kanekoas were destroyed.

' ' ' �TII X 4 THE FRIEND. JAVUAKV I. 1876. Cast Thy Bread upon the Waters, and Thou Shalt find it after Many Days. The following facts afford an apt illustration of these words of Solomon. In 1854, or a quarter of a century ago, the report having reached the islands that Commodore Perry's expedition to Japan was successful, the Hawaiian missionary society immediate-1 ly voted one thousand dollars for a church in Yokohama, and the money was placed in the treasury of the American Board of Missions. As ihe Board had no mission there, the money was not then used ; but on the visit of the U. S. S. Powhattan at Honolulu in March, 1860, Chaplain Wood made an appeal in behalf of Japan, when the following vote of the society was passed : "Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to write to Dr. Anderson on behalf of this Society, rci|iiesting that if the $1,000 remitted by theTreasurer of this Society to Ihe Treasurer of tbe Board, on the 17th of November, 1854, towards the establishment of a Mission in Japan, is still unappropriated, aud its appropriation for that purpose is not contemplated through any agency of the Board, then the Treasurer of the Board be requested to pay the same over to the Rev. Henry Wood, at present Chaplain of the U. 8. steamer Powhatlan. towards tbe ereotion of a missionury obapel, at such place in Japan as shall be deemed expedient by Ihe evangelical missionaries located at Yokohama (fix ) Mr. Brown and bis associates." Years passed on, and no effectual steps were taken by the friends of missions for a church among the inhabitants of Japan, which called for this money, so carefully kept until needed. Mrs. Armstrong has placed at our disposal a letter, recently received from the Rev. Dr. Brown, which explains in a most satisfactory manner the expenditure of the one thousand dollars. Under date of October 26th, 1875, he thus writes: " I send you by this mail steamer a copy of tbe Japan Gazette of the 24th July last, which contains an account of the dedication of our new mission church, for the erection of which the people, or n portion of the people of the Sandwich Islands, gave tbe first $1,000. I wish you would so dispose of that newspaper that those people or their survivors may see and know that at laat a fine substantial brick church, with stone trimmings around the openings, and stained glass windows presented by T. C. Dot-e-mus, Esq., of New York, baa been built, and that this place of worship Is now used every Lord's day by a native church and congregation, at 9 o'clock a. m. and 4 p. m.; in tbe morning for preaching, and in the afternoon for a Sunday school. The paper will show you whsnoe the balance of the funds necessary for the ereotion of the church was received. I want tbe good people who first showed their desire to have a place of worship for Ihe living God, to know that though fourteen or fifteen years have elapsed since they moved in this matter, their effort has not failed; but the end ia accomplished in tbe creation of Ihe largest and finest ohuroh edifice in this oountry. There is nothing to compare with it in architectural beauty and solidity of structure. All the seal* in it are made of a handsome wood called Keaki, a species of elm, the timbers having heen taken from old dilapidated Buddhist temples. Thas heathenism contributed to the house of God. A congregation of 160 or so regularly meets there for worship. Tbe church of Yokohama, called simply 'he Church of Christ, numbers now, after sending I XIX V . ..

The Yedu church numbers about 80. I have but a few moments in whioh to write now, and you must excuse my haste. I have had to slop ill the midst of this letter lo hear two Japanese young nieu, who wish to become ministers of the gospel, recite a lesson in Greek grammar. Tbey want to be able to read tbe New Testament in the original, aud they have made such progress in English and English studies that I have undertaken to instruct them in Greek. "To resume the subject of the churches. There must be as many ss 600 members in sll the ten churches. A spirit of earnest inquiry respecting Christianity prevails in this and other parts of Ihe country. While I was out in the mountains of Hakone the lost summer, I administered the Lord's supper to nine native Christians who happened to be there, and found the people on beyond the mountains waking up to ask what Christianity is—tired of their old idolatry and afraid of Romanism. On the whole. I regard this as one of the most promising fields of missionary ctlort in the world. The government will not venture again lo punish men for becoming Christians. The director of the government press at Yedo is willing to publish the Scriptures as fast as we translate them ! That is a token of liberty. The native converts are preaching in many places here and at Yedo, and a month does not pass without additions to the churches by confession. Enemies write against Christianity, and yet even this is an evidence that mind is not torpid or indifjerent, a fact that is in itself encouraging. Please remember me lo Dr. Damon, and tell him that seamen are turning to the Lord frequently at this port. A good colporteur, partly supported by the Seamen's Friend Society and partly by Christians here, is faithfully aud successfully laboring among the ships' crews in port. A temperance ball is opened for seamen to frequent for board and lodging, aud pretty well patronized by them. A daily prayer meeting is kept up here, and the gospel is preached by missionaries or ministers passing through the " and the expenditures, is 82,532 49. This difference, however, has been made up in the management of the funds that have been in the hands of the Trustees from time to time, since 1861. It has been their aim to finish the work as soon as it could be done without incurring a dollar of debt. Ordination of Two Hawaiian Missionaries at Gilbert Islands. Mr. Chamberlain, delegate of the Hawaiian Board, thus writes under date of July 24th, thirty-three days from Honolulu, on board the Morning Star: "Lono and Kanoho have been ordained to-day; sermon by Leleo, who is quite up to— if not ahead in spirituality and far more eloquent; ordaining prayer by Kanoa; right hand of fellowship by Maka ; and charge by Kapu. These exercises managed entirely by our Hawaiians were most interesting and touching,—the cool church, roughly matted with braided cocoanut leaves, rudely seated with lauhala framed settees, church members all reasonably clad. We have seen more civilization here on Butaritari than in all the islands beside, and there is u greater progress on the part of the people. Afler " these exercises the communion was dispensed by the two new pastors, assisted by two deacons (one a brother of the king), splendid men, clad and in their right minds.

We have not only heard no complaints, but many expressions of commendation from boarders and visitors at the Home. With the funds derived from rent and the concert of Philip Phillips, the executive committee were enabled to paint the building thoroughly and make other necessary repairs, and without incurring any debt or calling upon the public for additional aid. The report of the treasurer will show that the of the society is good, or at leSPwe have no debt to retard our progress. Mr. Dunscombe reports that 8 captains, 22 officers, 55 seamen, and 200 men-of-wars-men have been lodged and boarded at the Home, besides numerous transient travelers and strangers. As a society we feel under special obligation to the Y. M. C. A. for sustaining their excellent reading room, which is becoming more and more a place of resort for seamen, strangers and residents.

He then, although much too weak to stand, and although every movement gave him pain, had himself carried out on lo the quarter-deck, where all bands assembled to meet Into. He was laid on a bed on the deck, his first words to the men being, Don't look frightened—smile." When laid down, he said, It the men will sit down, 1 can see their faces.

" The selection of Mr. Wilson's biographer is yet lo be considered, but in regard to the completion and carrying through the press of the third and last volume of his " History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America," left nearly completed, it is expected that it will be attended to by Rev. Samuel Hunt, a lifelong friend and associate, his former pastor, for seven years, his private secretary, and who, more than all others, has assisted him in the preparation of the work." We clip the above item from a late copy of the Massachusetts Spy. It is exceedingly gratifying lo notice this most just and modest tribute to the Key. Samuel Hunt, Mr. Wilson's private secretary. It is well known that this gentleman has long been assisting on the important historical work which bears on its title page only the name of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Hunt is a gentleman of fine scholarship—a graduate of Amherst College and Princton Theological Seminary, where we became acquainted with him, as a fellow student, in 1837-8. He was Mr. "Wilson's pastor for several years in Natick, and subsequently Pastpr of the Congregational Church in Franklin, Mass., where formerly preached the celebrated Divine Dr. Emmons. Mr. Hunt's literary attainments, logical mind and rare ability to sift historical evidence have peculiarly fitted him to assist in a work of this nature. We are gratified to learn, from a letter recently received from him, that only twenty chapters remain unfinished. He is peculiarly qualified to complete the work. Under date of Oct. 3d, only a few days after, Mr. Wilson presided over and addressed the Republican Convention in Worcester,—Mr. Hunt thus man advanced to command, and begged of him writes us : and all others who were in any way leaders to The Republican State Convention met never hesitate in their daily life to step forward and say, This is right," or " This ia wrong." at Worcester last week.

The Great Exhibitions and Hfposilions at London, Paris and Vienna, held during the last quarter of the century, have been schools for educating the world. In our estimation, their usefulness and importance cannot be over-valued. The inhabitants of remote lands are thereby brought together and become acquainted with each other in u manner that could not otherwise take place. The forthcoming Centennial in America is another vast movement on a gigantic scale, in the same direction. Everything which nations or individuals can do, ought to be done to render it a grand success. We are glad to learn that Prof. Alexander, with his associates in the office of the Surveyor General, is preparing a good map of the Islands. Depend upon it, persons beholding that map will need a good compendium of our Island History and Resources. We hope the Government Commissioners will not only provide the Hawaiian Department with a good supply of Whitney's Guide Book, and Thrum's Almanac, but somewhere there should be a stall where every book published relating to the Islands may be offered for sale—including Jarves' History, Anderson's Hawaiian Missions, Andrews' Dictionary, Miss Bird's Book, —and somebody ought to be ready, who wields a pliant and nimble pen, to prepare sketches for the papers; editors in the United States will be only too glad to publish well written articles relating to the Islands. We hope Professor Alexander and his Assistant, C. J. Lyons, Esq.; will not allow their pens to remain idle. The world is going to school, and will read, now supply that demand.

Not only has the nation lost one of its noblest and purest statesmen and public officers, but the Young Men of America have lost one of their best counsellors and advisers. Mr. Wilson has always been recognized as one who cherished a warm, loving and abiding sympathy towards young men, and especially those who, like himself, were called in early life to struggle with poverty and the " hard things " of humble life. In addressing young men (and Y. M. C. A.), frequently has he made allusions to his own struggles, in order to inspire hope and ambition in their hearts. Wealth, social surroundings and learning smiled not upon his pathway in early life, but most manfully he breasted the adverse waves until he could raise his head proudly among the intellectual magnates of the nation and the world. His name, like that of Lincoln, was not born " to die." It was the privilege of the writer to hare become acquainted with the lamented statesman in the autumn of 1840, when he first commenced lecturing in Natick and the surrounding towns; hence we have followed his successive steps of advancement with mingled emotions of wonder and admiration. No man, remarks a writer in the N. Y. Herald, since the days of Jackson, so well understood the "pulse" of the nation. All honor to his memory, and the nation which can bring forth from the ranks of the people such noble specimens of humanity and Christianity. Remember, young men, that Mr. Wilson was a strictly moral aud temperate man, and more than all was not ashamed of the "Cross of Christ." S. C. D. the temptation. Keep busy ; idleness is the strength of bad habit:. Do not give up the struggle when you have broken your resolution once, twice, a thousand times. That only shows how much need there is for you to strive. When you have broken your resolution, just think the matter over, and endeavor to understand why it is you failed, so that you may be on your guard against a recurrence of the same circumstances. Do not think it is an easy thing that you have undertaken. It is folly to expect to break off a habit in a day which may have been gathering strength in you for years.

Various accounts of the origin and authorship of the hymn with the above title, sung by Mr. Sankey have been given. The following is given by Mr Sankey. Some time in 1873, Mr. Sankey being then in England with Mr. Moody for the first time, bought a copy of the Christian Age, a London religious paper publishing Dr. Talmage's sermons, and in one corner found this hymn. He had never seen or heard of it before. It pleased him, and seemed adapted to religious work. He cut it out of the paper, and three days afterward he sung it at a meeting in Free Assembly Hall in Edinburgh, having composed the music himself. A short time after, he received a letter from a lady thanking him for having sung the hymn, and stating that the author was her sister, Miss Eliza C. Claphane of Melrose, Scotland. She had written the hymn in 1868 and shortly after died. She and her whole family were members of the Church of Scotland. Mr. Sankey replied to the lady's letter, asking if her sister had ever written any other hymns, and was told that she had written several others which were sent to the Family Treasury, a religious paper of which the late Dr. Arnot was the editor, but only " TheMr.Ninety and Nine " was ever published. Sankey communicated with him, and received several pieces of manuscript. The only other hymn by the same author in Mr. Sankey's collection is the 43d : " Beneath the Cross of Jesus." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BY S. C. DAMON. K.iuir-hanirlia Ist. 1753—1819. When the Hawaiian Islands were discovred, independent kings reigned over each of the six principal islands. They were a fierce and warlike people, and not unfrequently* the most bloody and devastating wars prevailed. A war of this nature was in progress when Captain Cook discovered the islands. When his ship Uiscotiery cruised off the shores of Maui—l77B—there came off a deputation from the chiefs, and among the young warriors, there appeared one who was destined to act a conspicuous part in the subsequent history of this archipelago. We refer to young Kamehameha, then about twenty-three years of age ; he spent a night on board Cook's ship, much to the grief and astonishment of his friends on shore. At that period war was raging between the Islands of Maui and Hawaii, and he developed the traits of a bold warrior, an ambitious conqueror, and also possessed great administrative ability. Originally a petty chief of a small district on the Island of Hawaii, he commenced warfare upon neighboring provinces, and after a few years of successful conquests, the whole group submitted to his sway. His fame won for him the title of " the Napoleon of the Pacific." Like other conquerors—the Alexanders and Napoleons —Kamehameha sighed for more islands to subdue, and well authenticated tradition reports that he contemplated at one period of his reign the conquest of Tahiti. No sooner had he established his government than he made wise and necessary arrangements for its administration, and those who had been his companions in war, be■oame governors of the different islands. Then was established the Kamehameha dynasty, and for a period of more than seventy years it has stood and exercised its functions as firmly for the welfare of the inhabitants of this group, as that of any other government on earth. Kamehameha Ist was possessed of not only great physical powers, butalso of a keen and vigorous mind: his quick discernment led HONOLULU, FEBRUARY 1, 1816. 9 {(©ID Swies, M 33. singular and peculiar feahim to cultivate a friendly intercourse with with her.

At a great feast given by the king and chiefs at Kailua, Hawaii, to the horror and surprise of all devout minds, the former leaves the place wher*e he was eating, and goes over to the female table! This was sacrilege? this was profanity of the worst description in the minds of all believing in the old faith ! The blow was now struck. Tabu was broken. The work of destruction of both idols and temples was now commenced under royal authority, and so effectual was the devastating wave sweeping over the islands that not an idol wus left standing. In reviewing this strange event, the work would appear impossible unless a divine influence was recognized, even amid heathen orgies. Sometimes," remarks Mr. Bancroft the "historian, " like a messenger through the thick darkness of night, Omnipotence steps along mysterious ways; but when the hour strikes for a people or mankind to pass into a new form of being, unseen hands draw the bolts from the gates of futurity, an all-subduing influence prepares the minds of men for the coming revolution those who plan resistance find themselves in conflict with the will of Providence, rather than with human desires; and all hearts, and all understandings, most of all the influence and the opinions of the unwilling are wonderfully attracted and compelled to bear forward the change, which becomes more and more an obedience to the law of universal nature than submission to the arbitraments of man." As was natural to expect, a reaction followed this wide-spread destruction of the idols, and war ensued between the reformers and idolaters, but victory perched upon the banner of the Iconoclasts. The nation was now thrown back upon a system of universal doubt, and the people were " feeling after God." While these events were transpiring on the Hawaiian Islands, under royal authority, the brig Thaeldeus sailed from Boston with the first bund of American missionaries destined for this group. On their arrival in March, 1820, no wonder they were astonished at the first report from the shore that fell upon their ears: " The Tabu is broken, the idols are destroyed." The work now commenced of imparting to a savage nation without any system nf religious worship, a knowledge of the True God. The king and his associates became pupils in the mission schools, and before two years had elapsed Kamehameha 2d was reading a spelling book, and witnessing the work done on a printing press.

He imbibed a strong desire to visit England, and confer with his '■ brother king," George 4th. All the necessary arrangements were made, and he embarked with his queen, Kalaina. and a retinue of attendants, on board the English ship LA iyle, Capt. Starbuck. They sailed from Honolulu in November, 1823, and reached England in the following May, 1824; there they were kindly welcomed by the king and government, and became the nation's guests, being treated with much attention ; but both Kamehameha and his queen were attacked with the measles, from which disease neither recovered. The British Government, now made the requisite preparation to convey the royal remains, to repose in their island-home. The frigate Illonde was placed under the command of Lord Byron, (a cousin of the poet) to perform this honorable service. The remains were duly conveyed around Cape Horn to the shores of Oahu, where they were received with due respect.

He conceded to the pressure of the nation, demanding more rights, with as much becoming condescension as any king ever listened to the " vox populi." In the expressive language of his successor, " Kauikeaouli gave until he had nothing more to give." He was greatly beloved not only by his own people, but also by foreigners, and most deeply lamented when called on the 15th of December, 1854, "to wrap the mantle of his couch around him," and To join The innumerable '* caravan that moves, To the pale realm, of shade.where each shall take His chamber in thesilent halls ol death." kainflianiflni llli. 18.4—15C3. The new king ascended the throne, having enjoyed the best educational advantages which the island kingdom could afford, and also the benefit of foreign travel. He was recognized in early life as the heir apparent, having been adopted by his late majesty. Alexander Liholiho, or Kamehameha 4th, was born Feb. 9th, 1834; he was carefully instructed in the Koyal Schojol, under the management of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke; he •was a most apt scholar, and very proficient in mathematics; he obtained a most thorpraise.

A deep affliction fell upon the royal family in August, 1862, by the death of the young prince.

His death occurred on the 30th of November, 1863, having completed a prosperous reign of a few days short of nine years. Kiiniflianicha :,lli. 18.0—1872. An older brother of the late king peacefully succeeded to the throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The brothers were educated together, and had traveled in company. The elder never manifested any uneasiness, that his younger brother should have been king before himself. During the preceding reign he occupied various positions of responsibility, and for several years was minister of the interior. He was well educated and per- fectly familiar with the English language, and his experience as an officer of government, combined with an imperious disposition, naturally led him, on becoming the sovereign, to exercise a controlling influence in all departments of state. But few appointments were ever made, even to inferior offices, without his sanction. A few months after his accession, a convention was called for re-modelling the constitution, and because the members of this assembly did not conduct in a manner to please the royal will, he arbitrarily dismissed the convention, and abolished the constitution. Subsequently he granted a new one, but less democratic in its nature. Among the important changes, the house of nobles and the popular assembly of the representatives of the people were merged into one legislative body. While his naturally stern character led him to establish a strong government, yet during his reign the rights of the common people were practically ignored, and they felt themselves under the rule of a chief of the old regime, rather than under a constitutional sovereign. It was his ambition to become a rich king, rather than one who aimed to rule according to the provisions and limits of legal authority. He was not adverse to public improvements, and it was during his reign that the necessary arrangements were made for erecting a parliament house, which would accommodate all the public offices. His death occurred on the 11th of December, 1872, (his forty-second birth-d«y). He left a large landed estate, but heavily encumbered with debts. He was never married, and during his life firmly and rather superstitiously refused to appoint a successor. During the period that his remains were lying in state at the palace, there was a revival of some of the old heathenish practices of a by-gone age, although his funeral was subsequently conducted in a christian .style, agreeable to the rites and ceremonies of the 1876. 1 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, Prince William Lunalilo issued his procla- his'majesty's honored father having at great mation, appealing to the voice or vote of the expense erected the tomb and otherwise orpeople.

No successor having been appointed, the responsibility devolved constitutionally upon the Legislative Assembly of electing a sovereign. Two aspirants only offered their names, viz., Prince David Kalakaua and Queen Emma. The Assembly convened on the 12th ol February, 1874, and by a vote of thirty-nine to six, elected the former. The adherents of the unsuccessful candidate manifested their displeasure at defeat in riotous demonstrations, which resulted in much damage to the Court House ; but a force was landed from the U. S. S. Tuscarora and H. B. M* S. Teuedos, which restored order. The usual proceedings "f inauguration soon followed these riotous scenes, and His Majesty prudently went forward appointing his ministers and otherwise, adjusting the alfairs of his kingdom. The King, soon after entering upon his official duties, appointed his younger brother as Heir Apparent. All these acts of the King and the Legislative Assembly were duly recognized by the Diplomatic Representatives of the three great powers—the United States, Great Britain and France, and by all the Consuls of other nations represented at the Hawaiian Court. The present King is descended from the ancient sovereigns of the Hawaiian Islands, and was born in the city of Honolulu November 16th, 1836; the resident of his honored parents —Hon.C. Kapaakea and A. Keohokalole—was situated on the site now occupied by the Queen's Hospital. His Majesty was married to Kopiolani (grand niece of Kapiolani, the heroine) December 19th, 1563, who also is a descendant of Hawaiian chiefs. A sister of His Majesty is �12 the Til i. esteemed wife of Governor Domini.-, while a younger sister is married to the Hon. A. S. Cleghorn. The latter, Her Royal Highness Princess Miriam L. Cleghorn, gave birth to a daughter on the 16th of October, 1875. This is the first birth that has occurred in the present Royal Family since the accession. The infant was baptized at the St. Andrew's Cathedral on Christmas morning, according to the rites and ceremonies of tho English Church, by the name of Victoria Kawekiu Kaiulani Lunalilo. His Majesty wns educated at the Royal School under the direction of Mr and Mrs. Cooke, whose invaluable labors were productive of such good results to the young chiefs and chiefesses of the islands. He was an apt scholar, and learned to read a'nd write both the Hawaiian and English languages with great accuracy and taste. He has in former years contributed to both the Hawaiian and English newspapers published in Honolulu. The Ilokn Pakipika or Star of the Pacific, the Gazette, Polynesian, and Advertiser were mediums through which he communicated with the public. In general historical reading and current literature, His Majesty is well versed. He writes a peculiarly fine and bold hand. During the last few years, under the reigns of his four predecessors, he has occupied many positions and offijes of trust and responsibility, as will appear from the follow- ing memoranda : 1852 Appointed to the Staff of 11.

The last earthly resting place of the Hawaiian kings is beautifully situated on a commanding eminence, overlooking the city and harbor of Honolulu and a long line of sea-coast on the southern shores of Oahu. The Koyal Mausoleum is a beautiful gothic structure, built in the form of a cross with pointed roofs. The material is the coral stone taken from the reef, washed by the ceaseless waves of the Pacific, ever dashing upon the shore. The grounds are neatly laid out and ornamented with shrubs and trees. A substantial wall protects the premises on three sides, while in front there is a heavy iron fence embellished with appropriate emblems and devices. The whole appearance of the structure and its surroundings impurts a most pleasing impression to the beholder, displaying as they do much good taste and architectural skill. We would merely add that the only remains of Kamehameha Ist are one or two bones, which report says are deposited in the coffin of a high chief who died many years ago. The following is a list, so far as is known, of the remains of kings, high chiefs, and other persons distinguished in Hawaiian annals, which are here deposited : 1 Ksinehttinelia 2,1, who died in England, July 14, 1824. 2 Queen Ksmanmlu, wilt: of Ihe ahove, who died in Kh-laml July 8. 1844.

They are ten in number, and present a most accurate representation of that people. As we have seen the inhabitants of several of the Caroline Islands in their homes, we infer that in manners, customs and habits, they are near-akin to the Pelews.

Port Moresby, New Guinea, ) £ Sept. 29, 1575. Heo. Dr. Damon: In my letter to you from Sydney last year 1 promised to write to you again from New Guinea. Ifm glad to embrace this opportunity of doing so. We arrived here the end of last November. We came in the John Williams, the Ellengowan (our little New Guinea steamer) accompanying us. We had a meeting with the chiefs on board. They expressed their willingness to receive and protect us, and seemed eager for us to come and live among them. The Karotongan teachers who had been here nine months were well, and reported the people kindly disposed. We had brought a small frame house from Sydney and all hands set to work in putting it up, in five days it was habitable. On the Ist December the .John Williams left us, and two days after the Ellenyowan went, leaving Mrs. Lawes, myself and Charley (our little boy 3 years old) alone among the natives, and the only white residents on the southeast of New Guinea. The description which Capt. Moresby gave of this place and Fairfax harbor is to us overdrawn, so far as the beauty and fertility are concerned. It is devoid of that luxuriant vegetation and other features of beauty with which we have been familiar in the South Seas. Food is very scarce; yams and bananas are about all the land produces. The natives bring a single yam, a single cocoanut and five or six bananas for sale, and expect as much for the single one as we should give for ten on almost any of the islands in the South Pacific. The first three months we were here the people lived almost entirely on the mangrove fruit, which they had to go twenty miles to get. From Redscar Head to Port Moresby the coast is beautiful, and perhaps more so from Port Moresby to Hood Point, but after the scenery of Eastern Polynesia it did not strike us as very remarkable. The harbor itself is large and well sheltered, but has a nasty reef in the entrance and several ugly patches here and there. The natives have no knowledge of iron or gold. The country may or may not be rich in minerals. Both flora and farina are poor in this part of New Guinea, and in great contrast apparently to the northwest part. The first sight of the natives was enough to convince us that they belonged to the same race as the Eastern Polynesians. They are not darker in color if you make allowance for their constant exposure to the sun without clothes. As soon as we began to pick up the language we had no doubt whatever on the subject. I know enough of it now to preach freely to the people in their own tongue, and have got written down upwards of 900 words. I will enclose a short list of words in this if I have time before the Ellenyowan comes, if not it fvhnll follow. In my translation work on Savage Island I compared all the Polynesian versions I could get. Of course Niuean is as familiar to me as English, I know Sainoan pretty well and other dialects FEBRUARY.

Mr. McFarlanc, the only other English missionary in this mission, is at present resident at Cape York. He will probably remove before long to Darnley or some other island in Torres Straits. While this is a good center for missionary operations among the light race, it is not so easy to find a good center for working the mission among the black race. The farther west we go the more unhealthy the coast seems to lie. The headquarters of the Ellenyowan are for the present at Cape York. So far as our own particular work here is "Trampling her feet, Braving the wrath of all the mythic gods," she approached the fiery Ilalemaumau and there knelt in prayer to Jehovah, awe-struck thousands on the lofty rim, " While Oared tremblingly beneath in firm belief. That Pele in her wrath would hurl ber fires On one who dared ber in her sulphurous home." Such moral heroism might appropriately call forth the poet's exclamation : of her race, *' Kapiolani,—noblest Kapiolaui—type of womankind— In high moral heroism born of love.

Lahore, Northern India. The Coming of the Kingdom of God. Since our last issue the week of prayer has been observed, and such was the religious interest manifested in the meetings and the community, that the union meetings of the Fort Street and Bethel Churches were protracted throughout the following week. Christians have experienced a spiritual revival, and some have expressed a resolution to enter upon the renewed life, who have hitherto been indifferent to the higher spiritual interests of the soul's salvation. Such seasons are Penticostal in their nature ; they are evidence that God has not forsaken His Church, and that Christ is living among men,—that prayer is still offered in faith and answered in reality. Such seasons again are most refreshing and encouraging to all earnest laborers in Christ's service, and afford a most gracious and precious opportunity to all desirous of forsaking sin and entering upon a new life. To the skeptical they may be a puzzle and an enigma, but to all truly enlightened souls they are unmistakable proofs of the "coming of the kingdom of God." Our Saviour taught his disciples to pray "Thy kingdom come;" revivals of true religion are an answer to that prayer. Let us not cease to offer that prayer and labor for the coming of that kingdom, but let us remember also those words of Christ addressed to Nicodemus, Except " 16 Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: To visit thefatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspottedfrom the world. a man be born again (or from above), he canChinese New Year's Festival.—They not see the kingdom of God," neither "enter editor of the Advertiser, after noticing the into the kingdom of God." manner in which the festival was observed by our Chinese population "at large," thus Among the fruits of the religious interest remarks respecting the Christian portion of manifested during the week of prayer and our Chinese community : the meetings which followed, is a Young The visit that left the pleasantest recollection on our " People's Prayer Meeting," held every Sun- minds, was one we made to a company of Christian Chinese, who, with Sit Moon the culpurteur at their day evening nt the session room of Fort bead, form a little colony by themselves./On a table Street Church, from half-past six to half-past of modest proportions hut amply provided wilh luxuries and the indispensable pot ol hot tea, was proseven.

The name of Thomas Guthrie of the Free Church of Scotland may be familiar to some of us as that of a man of rare eloquence and a leader in many philanthropic undertakings. But to others it may be nothing but a name, if indeed ever heard, yet dimly remembered, since in no way connected with the daily current of their thoughts and lives. To all such we would very heartily commend the recently published memoir and autobiography of Dr. Guthrie, as most delightful reading, from which one would go out into life with a stronger, braver desire to strive for mastery over all things low and ignoble, to lead up into the free heights of their being those who have fallen by the way, and to lift higher than before the banner of Christ's blessed Gospel. To literature of this class, this memoir is a most valuable addition, and we doubt whether in all the range of biographical sketches one could find anything more wonderfully fresh and vigorous and stimulating. In fact it seems to us to form an epoch in biographical history, so in contrast is it with the somewhat too prevalent tone of such writing, so free from all ascetic or morbid tendencies, so illumined by the joyous presence of a'great, sympathetic, brotherly love, which warms and vivifies everything with which it comes in contact. What Guthrie said of Dr. Chalmers, at the time of his death, may be said with singular appropriateness, of Guthrie himself, now that he is gone. " Men of his caliber are like great forest trees; we don't know their size till they are down." Guthrie died in 1873, tbe greatest man after Chalmers in the Scottish Church. Looking through the pages of his memoir, drinking the story and significance of bis life and thus viewing from all sides this forest tree before us, we have Antotaofraphj of Thomaa Galkrie, D D., sad mesaolr.

The autobiography of Dr. Guthrie was begun but never Completed. The work thus left was taken up in the memoir very lovingly and faithfully by his sons. It must have .been a joy and inspiration to have known nnd seen him in the midst of his labors, it these pages speak but half the truth. Such an ever varying mosaic are they, of anecdote and incident, warm with feeling and stirring with grand purposes! Guthrie was a born and as he sits down in the evenf of his years to tell the story of his life, and his thoughts wander into the past, they come back laden with rarest treasures of fancy and narrative, records of great men with whom he Inbored and of humble men whom he loved, flashes of most genial humor, hearty words of cheer heard by the way. pictures of home-joys and peaae, and shadows from the crowded haunts of sin and vice. He lived a man among men, with a message of hope ever on his lips to those Way-worn snd weary. Bound by no false bands of ecclesiasticism, yet the most valiant son when the Church of Christ called for his aid. In prose a very Burns ; his words fragrant with odors of heather and the Scottish fields he loved so well; now full of the peace of Highland glens and quiet moorlands, and now grand and stormy as if caught amid the spray and tumult of the tumbling German Ocean, beating against its Scottish barriers. All this becomes rest, vivid to you in the recital of one who never in latest manhood lost the buoyancy of boyhood, but rather as the years waned grew into an atmosphere of immortal youth. Dr. Guthrie was born in Brechin in 1803, which carries one back to a period in Scotland, of which but few vestiges now remain, and to customs fast becoming obsolete. Through his pages you look into Scottish hdme-life of well nigh a century ago with a clearness, as if it were being lived about you now. It was a grand spirit, if rightly used, which the Christian Fathers snd Mothers of the olden Scottish time inspired in their children, one which made martyrs of men if need be. On such a foundation Guthrie stood through life, as if planted on granite. His university-life was passed in Edinburgh, and after completing this he spent some time on the continent pursuing his studies. Some years intervened between his return and his entrance upon the active work of the ministry, owing to the cumberous working of the machinery of the estab- Sjry-teller, FRIEND, MARCH. 187 6. lished church of that day, so that young ministers waited, as it were, for " dead men's shoes." Or, to use his own words " While matrons turned to the newspaper for the list of births, and spinsters to the list of marriages, it was the list of deaths the poor preacher first scanned on his outlook for va- : cant charges." His first appointment was to the parish of Arbirlot, where he remained some years. This country pastorate was most fruitful in experiences and in the knowledge of human nature it gave the young preacher, and wns a grand preparation for the years of service before him. But more than all else the outer world with its freshness and peace and beauty, furnished him with themes and illustrations which came in other days as a benediction to both speaker and listener, hemmed within the city's limits. In 1837 he entered upon his ministry in Edinburgh, where he spent the best working years of his life. It has been said of him, He was a man who, by sheer force of his emotional eloquence, might have stirred a nation to revolution." Nor does this seem exaggerated when we consider the mighty services he performed and the success he achieved, calling for exertions which would have prostrated an ordinary man. Living so remote as we do from the time and scene of their occurrence, we find it difficult to conceive of the events connected with the revolution in the Scottish Kirk. Into the ecclesiastical questions of his day Guthrie threw himself with an ardor and enthusiasm, characteristic of the man. In crowded assemblies, fired almost to fanatical fury by their views in regard to church legislation, he walked undaunted and while the waves of party feeling surged about him never wavered, waiting his opportunity, and when the " seemed ready to burst calmed it by the magic of his words and presence. He seemed most gleeful where the fight was thickest, and all the grand, old Scottish fire within him leaped into action when the enemies of right and justice arrayed themselves most strongly.* The questions of Church and State, which every nation must meet sooner or later, were grandly met in Scotland. To-day Germany finds that they baffle the wisdom of her profoundest statesmen. In England the day of their solution comes slowly but steadily on. During the ten years from 1833 to 1843, there was waged in Scotland one of the keenest wars any church has ever witnessed. The established church had enjoyed a proud history for centuries. But to those who loved her best, it became at last painfully evident that a further connection with the state was impossible. Above all things and artud all dangers were the brave Sons of the Covenstorm nnters, determined "to maintain the right of Jesus Christ, as King to reign within His own Church." "So we had naught else to do," says Guthrie, but to pluck the old " weapons from the dead men's hands, and when the state came down on us in its pride and power, man once more the moss-grown ramparts where our fathers had bled nnd died." The Disruption of 1843, which was virtually the abandonment of the old established Kirk of Scotland by well nigh five hundred of her clergy, inspired by the highest principles of Christian*duty and heroism, is among the sublime things of history. We know of no grander processional the world has ever seen than that which, bursting " from the doors of St. Andrew's Church with Chalmers at its head, marched out file by file in steady ranks, giving God's people who anxiously thronged the streets occasion to weep tears, not of grief but of joy, as they cried, ' They come ! they come! thank God they come !' We did not come out a small and scattered band ; but, on the day of the Disruption burst out of St. Andrew's Church, as a river bursts from a glacier,—a river at its birth. In numbers, in position, in wealth as well as in piety, our Church, 1 may say, was full grown on the day it was born. Above all and next to the prayers which sanctified our cause, we were followed by ahost of countrymen, whose enthusiasm had been kindled at the ashes of martyrs, and who saw in our movement but another phase of the grand old days that won Scotland her fame, and made her a name and a praise in the whole earth." Such acts of moral heroism nre far from meaningless when we consider the costliness of the sacrifice which they involve. Henceforth those who had thus come forth could look to no state-organization for support. Hundreds of manses were closed forever against those, who had for so long found in them a home and about which clustered the most sacred and tender associations. Sorely was the faith of these brave men tested, but it never failed. Out of the ranks stepped Guthrie with his lion heart and purpose, and took upon himself the burden of procuring new homes for the homeless clergy. Through the length and breadth of Scotland he traveled, warming all hearts by the story of their suffering and destitution. Over half a million of dollars was the result of this single year's effort, while " many a dwelling by seashore and in highland glen will long, long remain his monument." But it was not only in fields of ecclesiastical polemics that he won his laurels, but in the midst of the sin and misery of the crowded city, where man-, has fallen so low that the Divine image seems almost effaced. He �I' II X saw before him the most fearful forms of vice and suffering, and set himself with all his might to tbe righting of these grievous wrongs. Some one has called him " The Apostle of the Ragged School Movement." Instead of delaying his efforts at reformation till manhood, when the seeds of sin and impurity are fully developed, and the man is sent out to work ill for himself and the world at large, Dr. Guthrie aimed to reach in childhood as many as possible of those born amid surroundings of poverty and crime. These schools brought within the range of Christian sympathy and training those who had before received the world's frown and curse, and who in very despair became in turn its natural enemy. It was a very blessed work, yet one which needed almost infinite love and patience But it has been grandly successful, and thousands have been redeemed from a life of sin and shame. The most successful preachers of any time seem to hnve been those who, like our Saviour, employ figures and illustrations to impress the truth upon their hearers' minds. Guthrie early set himself to acquire a style which would most influence.those to whom he would bring the word of life, and this with his God-given talent of vigorous yet aVpoctic utterance made him one of the most powerful speakers of his day. Rarely if ever has he been surpassed in his powers of description and narrative. A little incident may best illustrate this. Some one writing of him says : " During one of Dr. Guthrie's powerful appeals lo the unbeliever to close with the free offer of Salvation through Jesus Christ, he described a shipwreck and the launching of the life boat to save the perishing crew in such vivid colors, that the dreadful scene appeared actually to take place before our eyes. Captain C, a young navnl officer who was sitting in a front seat of the gallery, was so electrified that he seemed to lose all consciousness of what was around him. 1 saw him spring to his feet and begin to take off his coat, when his mother took hold of him and pulled bim down. It was some time before he could realize where he was." This power never failed him. To the " grey capital of the North came men to hear from him the message of the new life.

This three-masted American schooner, which has recently made Honolulu harbor a visit, it will be remembered, is the vessel from whose deck the young Earl of Aberdeen was washed overboard on the night of the 27th January, 1870, when she was six days from Boston on her voyage to Melbourne. (See Friend, December, 1874). He shipped under the name of George H. Osborne, as first mate. A sailor belonging to his watch, thus describes his fate : " 1 was in the watch of ihe first mate, George H. Osborne. He had the watch from four to eight a. m. We were lowering the mainsail | Osborne and I were side by side hauling on the same rope. The ship gave a heavy roll, and the down-haul get slack; then with the other roll the down-haul got taught. Osborne and 1 were both caught in the bight of the down-haul. The first shock came on him, because be was nearer the sail than I. I had time to lay myself down, and the rope passed over me, while Osborne was dragged across me, and into the sea. I saw him fall into the sea, but I could do nothing to prevent it. It was the work of a second. I saw him come to the surface ; it was a dark night. I threw him a rope as soon as 1 was able." But it waa too late ! Thus sadly perished'the unfortunate Earl, succeeding to In M \K ( II . 18 76. father in 1864. In 1866 he sailed for Canada to visit an uncle, and for reasons unknown to the world for several years was a sailor on board several American vessels, making voyages to various parts of the world. From Houston, Texas, he thus wrote to his brother, " There is no better or happier place in the world than a good small American vessel." On the report of his death, a messenger was sent by the family to America to ascertain the facts.

Kobe, Japan, December, 1875. 1 will give you a few particulars of the recent trying but merciful dispensation of Prov- idence toward us. Our daughter-in-law, John's wife, had been with us ten weeks, and was so cheerful, well and active, up to the morn of the 16th inst. and most of that day, that we could hardly realize how near she was to the grave. That night she was taken ill, and although our skillful missionary physician had the advice of several other doctors, they could not save her life. Her time had come. Of her we can say, " Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee," for she gave good evidence that she wns prepared to be forever with the Lord. Brother Doane preached the funeral sermon from the text, 2 Tim., 4.6 : "I am now ready to be offered ;" dwelling chiefly on the word ready. He showed that her hope of salvation rested on the grace of God, through Christ Jesus, to all believers. He also gave a summary of her labors for the Chinese and Mongols ; and especially for four Chinese children, whose parents would have killed them or left them to perish. Three of them they attempted to kill, two infant females by smothering, I think, and one a lad of about three years by poison. He had lost his eyes by small-pox, und his unnatural mother thought he was a useless burden, and so gave him poison (with his food, I think), but having heard an older brother beg her not to do it, he would not swallow it. I think it was a relative of his, and also of one of the girls and the grandmother of the other, that begged E. to take them, and she, knowing her husband's feelings, could not refuse. Another girl, said to be five years old, but so nearly starved that she weighed only 10 or 11 pounds, they were obliged for months to keep her on rice water to save her life. On being asked by a friend why, if she took Chinese children, she did not take likely and promising ones? Emily replied, "The Lord gave me these." The blind boy soon showed that he had a bright intellect. He committed to memory rapidly and correctly by hearing sentences read. By this means he had learned by heart the four gospels and most of the Ist Corinthians, and 50 or 60 hymns, and also with very little aid had learned to play many tunes on the melodeon, and sometimes accompanied ibe tune with an extemporaneous base. And better still he gave good evidence of having a netw heart. Not long since he died of scarlet fever. One of the females also died recently of teething sickness. The two surviving girls speak English well, and have a prospect of being well educated. The one so nearly starved is now in the family of a Mrs. Collins, a dear friend of E.s, and studying with her daughters. A few years since, she was with her foster parents in the United States, and at Boston in Mr. Durant's family, the late Dr. Kirk being present, he being then nearly blind, was led about by her; ;in# hearing her sprightly prattle, on being told she was a Chinese, said : " Now I see hope for China, since education can so quicken their stolid minds." The other girl, a bright five year old, speaks English correctly. These children, except the boy, were supported without drawing on missionary funds. To return to tbe funeral. Some 60 or 70 persons were present at my son's house, about half of them Japanese, to whom brother Atkinson gave the substance of Mr. Doane's discourse. The hymns, beginning as follows, were sung : "We are passing along to our home in the skies," " Safe in the arms of Jesus," and " There's a land that is fairer than this." Six or seven missionaries were here from Osaka. Two Episcopal clergymen from O. (one of them an Englishman), aided by four of our missionary band, bore the body to its last resting place in the lot of the female seminary, about an eighth of a mile distant. After it was lowered into the grave, part of the hymn—"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep," wns sung, and Mr. Atkinson, of our mission, offered a very appropriate prayer. And we left the spot with the joyful hope of meeting the dear departed "In the Sweet By and By." We and John have the sympathy of many friends, beside that of our blessed Saviour. As ever yours, P. J. Gulics. Rev. J. A. Daly, formerly of Honolulu, has again offered his resignation of the pastorate to the church at Painesville, Ohio, and this time so urgently that it has been accepted. He is to remain till the close of April. �THE FKItiND, MARCH, Rev. C. L. McCully.—We observe in late Hollowell papers that a council of churches was lately called to decide whether this gentleman should accept a call to a church at Calais. It was contended by his present church that the interests of the church at Hallowell and the Sabbath school would be injured by his dismissal to the other church according to his desire, but the council decided that the change was desirable. Mr. McC. will therefore settle at Calais, carrying with him the good will and affection of his people who so reluctantly MARINE JOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU, S. I. ARRIVALS.

Reversing the usual order (his abstract shall begin at the most remote station in Micronesia, which is noteworthy as the seat of a wonderful work, remarkable in the history of missions. In January, 1874, three Bonabe teachers and their wives were stationed on the islands of Lufconor and Satawan, whose chiefs and people guaranteed them support and protection. Early in 1875 Father Sturges of Bonabe received such a report of progress that he determined to organize one or more churches and ordain one of the teachers as its pastor; on his visit on the Morning Star the good news was confirmed by actual contact with the people and missionaries.

On Satawan he organized two churches, that of islet Ta with sixteen, and that on islet Satawan of eight members. These are the first fruits of less lhan two years' labor by Bonabian converts, " grandchildren of the American Board as Father S. quaintly calls them. The delegate ofthe Hawaiian Board took part in the examination of candidates and assisted in church organization ; and though the scien- " tific theological attainments were near a minimum the converts possessed the element of simple faith in so great measure that it was impossible to refuse baptism. Under the direction and supervision of their teachers, the people bad erected churches superior to any building previously existing on their islands, had neat pulpits, platforms and minister's seats, and the floors were planks four inches or more thick adzed from the trunks of large trees.

Honolulu, Feb. 12, 1876. Scribner's for January has the following on Gossip and its Cure : - Tbe very simple reason why the world is lull of gossip is, that those who indulge iv it have nothing else in them. They muat interest them- selves in something. They know nothing but what tliey learn from dity to day, in the intercourse with, and observation of their neighbors. What these neighbors do—what they say—what happens to them in their aociul and business »l fairs, what they wear—these become the ques- tions of eupreme interest. The personal umi social life around them—this ia the book under constant perusal, and out of this comes that pestiferous conversation which we call gossip. The world in full of it; and in ft million house*, all over this country, nothing in talked of but the personal affairs of neighbors. All personal and social movements and concerns are arraigned before this high court of gossip, are retailed at every fireside, are sweetened with approval or embittered by spite, and are gathered up ns the common stock of conversation by the bankrupt brains that have nothing to busy themselves with but tittle-tattle. The moral aspects of gossip are bad enough. It is u constant infraction of the golden rule; it isfull of all unoharitableness. No man or woman of sensibility likes to have his or her personal concerns hawked aboutand talked about; and those who engage in this work are meddlers and busy-bodies who are not only doing damage to others—are not only engaged in u most unneighhorly office—but are inflicting a great damage upon themselves. They sow the seeds ot anger and animosity and social discord. Not one good moral result ever comes out of it. It is a thoroughly immoral practice, and what is worst and most hopeless about it is, that those who are engaged in it do not see that it is immoral and detestable. To go into a man's bouse ateathily, when he is away from home, and overhaul his papers, or into a lady's wardrope and examine her dresses, would be deemed a very dishonorable thing; but to take up a man'a or a woman's name, and sinurtoh it all over with gossip—to handle the private affairs of a neighbor around a hundred fireside*—why, this is nothing! It makes conversation, ft furnishes a topic. It keeps the wheels of society going, What is the cure for gossip? Simply culture. Thi* is a great deal of gossip that has no malignity in it. Goodnatured people talk about their neighbors because and only because, they have nothing else to talk about. We believe that the cure for all this is for each person to resolve that for themselves they will take a knightfey's vow, " To speak no slander, no; nor listen to it;" to keep letters and communications pure from such defilement, and in conversation to introduce and keep prominent otljer subjects than the vhes or affairs of neighbors. Perhaps some would be aided by remembering that they are not responsible for the sins of others except so far as they are caused by their own influence and example ; but with the great majority thoughtlessness lies at the root of the evil. Another social reform which would result well would be to refrain from ascribing bad motives to others where, in a majority of cases, we are not called upon to enquire into the matter at all. In fact to practice minding our own business nnd let- in these subjects is growing in our community, and doubtless in these all important subjects there lies a grand opportunity for the exhibition of practical statesmanship. Increased prosperity should not lead statesmen to regard these questions simply in the light of money making—increasing exports are good and are generally evidence uf wise government, but a decreasing population is a shame which no list of exports can palliate. The preservation of this kingdom depends upon enlightened action on these subjects. Let tbe King and Ministers dedicate all the good which the nation afM out of Reciprocity to the repeopling ofrSe country. To do this labor is first required to make the benefits of Reciprocity available—then carefully considered efforts for the immigration of a resident population. When we, in thi* lovely Pacific itle.

Chronicle and Other Papers.—We have received a call from E. S. Baker, Esq., special correspondent and agent for the S. F. Chronicle and Resources of California, also the N. Y. Illustrated Christian Weekly, published by the American Tract Society. The Chronicle is well known on the islands, but not so well the Illustrated Christian Weekly. We regard this paper as one of the very best weekly papers, which could make its visits to the families in the islands, and we sincerely hope many subscribers may be obtained. Taylor's "Elijah the Prophet."— one year ago a friend in New York, About T. C. Doremus, Esq., sent us by mail, Dr. Taylor's " David," and hy the last mail we received " Elijah the Prophet,'' by the same author, who is Pastor of the Tabernacle Church, Broadway, N. Y. The books are, we suppose, the substance of the Sabbath Day Discourses of Dr. Taylor to thronging crowds surging along that central thoroughfare of New York, and gathering to listen both morning and evening, to his preaching. It is refreshing to know that such wholesome spiritnal food is furnished to those hungering lor the Bread of Life. As Dr. Taylor's David reminded us of Krummacher's "David, King of Israel," so does this volume, on Elijah, remind us of Krummacher's," Elijah," a volume of rare merit. Such books cannot have too wide a circulation at home, or abroad. When Christian laymen are thoughtful to scatter such books among ministers and missionaries, they have our sincere thanks. The " pews " desire eloquent and thoughtful discourses from the " pulpit," then let the Pastor's study and library be generously replenished with the fresh and invigorating volumes upon Biblical themes issuing from the press. Maunaloa.-A recent letter from the Rev. Mr. Coan informs us that " the old furnace of Mokuaweoweo, on Maunaloa, is sending up its red glare upon the heavens. The scene, when the conditions are favorable, is grand. The mountains are covered with snow, and shine in beauty." We hope the numerous tourists on Hawaii will be there in season for the grand display of volcanic action. 25 {©liberies, MM. " Olivia Raleigh."—Just as our paper is going to press a neighbor has loaned us a volume with the above title, written by W. W. Follett Synge, formerly British Commissioner and Consul-General in Honolulu, who now resides in London. Remembering his literary proclivities, we are not surprised to meet with this contribution to the current literature of the passing age from his pen. From our hasty perusal, we feel confident that the volume will find many admiring readers. We have not forgotten his Reading in the old Court House, when he drew some amusing illustrations from Charles Lamb. In glancing through the pages of "Olivia Kaleigh " we meet with an occasional remark, betokening a close observation of the world. The following is an example : "Half the unhappiness in the world arises from men judging others by their own standard." We have not time for additional remarks, or quotations. Beware of Your Associates, both real and imaginary, in reading Dr. Todd's life, we met with the incident, that after he had been reading a certain navel, he remarked that he was not pleased with the book, because he did not delight to associate with bad people, or admit them to his familyWhy should a person associate with impure and bad characters in his imagination any more than in real life ? Many persons would shrink from associating in real and social life with such characters as are too often depicted in works of fiction, then should we not beware of even our imaginary associates ? Many of tbe novels and illustrated papers should be kept as far away from our parlor tables and the family circles as impure and profane peisons. " Can one go on hot coals and not be burnt ?" asks Solomon. It is as impossible as for us to associate familiarly, or even in imagination with bad people and impure characters, and not receive a taint. According to late New York papers, Messrs.

Writing to a friend soon after his conversion, he says, " We are apt to think that God made us merely to enjoy his earthly blessings for a time, and then if we lead a moral life we shall reach heaven." This is, doubtless, the creed to which many subscribe, but it is altogether foreign to the spirit of Christ. " Faith only, or a steadfast, firm, immovable beliet in Christ," he says in the same letter, " is the condition of our salvation ; but let not our faith deceive us, it must be accompanied by good works or else it is dead." And then he adds, " we have no more reason to pride ourselves on our good works than the peacock on its beautiful LIFE ON THE DEEP.

The sphere in which he earned his daily bread was the sphere of his Christian activity. We are more than ever convinced that if the world is to be won for Christ it will be by men who, realizing their individual responsibility, labor for souls as those who must give an account. When will our church members learn that they have not discharged their obligations when they have paid their pew-rent and subscribed me conventional guineu to the missionary society ? Ministers may do much when they prove true to their calling, but they cannot overtake the work unless their efforts are seconded by their people. The persecution which scattered the saints of the early church was the means of spreading the gospel, because every individual became a witness for Christ. Since profession of faith, and earnest service for Christ are two of the most important duties which a Christian is called upon to discharge. In a most literal way Capt. March " Cast his bread upon the waters." A number of empty bottles accumulating on board, he put a few tracts into each and, corking them tightly, committed them to the deep. When a man is really dead set upon serving Christ, his ingenuity in devising methods of usefulness is speedily developed. The scriptural injunction suggests novelty of procedure : " Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." In answer to the objection that he was not an ordained minister, and had no business to trouble himself about men's souls, he charged the objectors with being inconsistent, for when they suffered from sickness they at once came to him for medicine, although he held no diploma. The life of Capt. March affords a striking illustration of the text, that " The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." His escapes from peril were due to the interposition of a gracious providence. On a voyage to New York»the ship was in the vicinity of Long Island, and thinking she ought to remain on the same tack for another hour he went below to read his favorite commentator, Matthew Henry. " Overcome by heat and fatigue, he fell asleep. Suddenly it seemed as if a hand touched him. There was no one near, no unusual sound on deck. Looking at his watch, he found that the hour was more thad expired, and immediately hurried up the gangway and shouted ' 'Bout seip ' A thick fog had arisen so that no land was to be seen. As he was taking the helm from the man, and putting it a-lee a cry came from the bows, 'Breakers ahead !' He strained his eyes and, though he saw nothing through the enveloping mist, he could distinctly hear the sound of the surf on the shore. All eyes were fixed on him there was a dead silence, wlijch he was enabled in another moment to break, by saying 'All's right, the ship's about!' A few minutes more and the vessel would have struck, and in all probability would have become a total wTeck." In seeking a mooring in Broad Sound, in the Scilly Islands, the ship was in danger of being stranded upon the rocks. He writes, "The pilot was confused and called out to let go the anchor; but the anchor did not run, for God had stopped it. Seeing this, I thought I understood the voice; 1 ran aft and put the helm up, which soon brought the vessel ! �Til VKli: round How true it is, •' They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep." Deliverance from danger excites our gratitude to God, but are we not quite as much indebted to His grace when we journey so quietly that no danger threatens ? To escape unhurt in a railway accident appears to us a great mercy, but is it not a greater mercy to travel safely to our destination withoutalarm ? After nearly twenty-five years of sea-faring life Captain March resolved to spend the remainder of his days on shore. In seeking a means of livelihood his temporal interests were always regarded as secondary to his He ultimately entered into ■sense of right. partnership with a gentleman at Gloucester, who carried on a general business with the shipping of the port, and afterwards the firm purchased several vessels. He very soon endeavored to establish services in the docks for the benefit of seamen. The dock authorities opposed this, but he secured the nearest chapel and opened it on Sunday afternoons. He became the superintendent of the girls' division of the Sunday School, and engaged himself in various philanthropic works. He lound time also to visit the sick and needy, and, as a deacon of the church, proved himself ready for every good word and work. The loss of his wife and children was a heavy trial to him, but " precious lessons were learned beneath the solemn shadows that fell from the hand of the Almighty." " "He was not all unhappy. The resolve Upbore him, and firm faith, and evermore Prayer from a living source within the will, And beating up through all the bitter world. Like fountains of sweet water in tbe sea. Kept him a living soul." His wounds were partially healed by a second marriage, but were destined to bleed afresh when he followed his second wife to the grave. Five children in all were sum- moned to follow their departed mother, and in heaven grew stronger, there yearnings for the blessed reunion. Who that has thought of the dear ones at rest " over there " has not found some solace for his sorrow in the thought. as the ties came heart " We shall meet on that beautiful shore I " It now became evident that the old weather- beaten sailor was nearing port, for symptoms of heart disease grew more and more manifest. He writes, "As 1 have nlways told people during my life that my religion made me a happier man, and had taken away the sting of death, I trust God will not suffer me to falsify the assertion when I come to die. My sins appear immense, like the sands upon the sea-shore, but blessed be God, the blood of Christ can cleanse them all away." Nothing disturbed the serenity of his soul's peace or shook his confidence in the faithfulness of God. The most difficult lesson he had to learn was, that "They also serve who only stand and wait," and yet had he not often waited for the flood tide or the favoring breeze ? Why should he not now wait for his Master's appointed time? Faithful unto death, he passed away in the early part of the year 1865. It was with him as it is with alt the voyagers to the better land, " Then are they glad because they be quiet, so he bringeth them unto their desired haven." Vernon J. Charlesworth. \ li.

Children will read, and hence too much effort cannot be expended in procuring the best of books to supply the demand. A few months ago the Bethel Sabbath School sent lorward its annual contribution for new books to Mr. Hoyt, of Boston. This time, as on former occasions, he has forwarded a choice selection of books. It is a real pleasure to witness the eagerness of the young folks to obtain their weekly supply of read- ing matter. Among the recent additions to our library we find many suited to the taste of children of an " older growth." The circulation of these among the fumilics of Honolulu, is most wholesome and salutary. We cannot imagine how an equal amount of money could be more usefully appropriated for the public good. We drew from the- library, recently, in the church, from Philip, A. "D.Evangelists 33, to Maed> and Sankey, A D. 1875," by Rev. P. C. Headlcy. We cannot say that this book fully met our expectations, APRIL. 181 C. bany, and identified herself with him in his revival labors, and was thoroughly appreciated by his large and noble heart. Aunt Dinah followed him to a number of places, even to New York City, where she did excellent service for her new master. The tidings of the Spirit's presence was the welcome call to her; and distance, inclement weather, and pilgrim-travel were no hinderance to the loving disciple. Nor was Aunt Dinah intellectually an ordinary woman. She had a clear, discriminating mind, intuitive knowledge of character, rare discernment in respect to preaching, and by a thorough Chinese Evening School. Mr. Dunscombe's health requiring a vacation, he left is the last steamer for San Francisco, to be absent two or three months. Since his departure, we haye< been looking over the catalogue of his Chinese pnpils at his evening school, in the Bethel vestry. We learn that the school was commenced in March, 1869, or seven years ago, and has been kept up to the present time. It BbU averaged about fifteen, and sometimes constudy of the Bible possessed an amount of tained over twenty.

IN REGARD TO HEALTH. Kobe has been called a sanitarium for China, and such I think it would be, if board could be had at a reasonable rate, say $1 25 or $1.50; (it is now $3.00) still many come, and often spend a short time in mission families. In the thirteen months that we have been here seventy-five missionaries, chiefly from China, have called on us here ; many staying only twenty or twenty-four hours. The last two months my son, from North China, has been with us for the benefit of his health, his wile and adopted daughter being with him. His nervous system is seriously impaired, and the extreme cold at Kalgan, (occasionally 15° below zero) seemed likely to be fatal to him. He had leave to come here for six months. He has recruited a little, and Dr. Berry, our physician, thinks he may quite regain his health. On the 29th of November I fell from our veranda, about two feet, and struck heavily on my left shoulder, bruising it seriously and slightly injuring the collar bone. Though not quite well, lam fast recovering. With kind salutations to all my friends, I am, as ever, yours, P. J. G. Dr. McGibbon, of Sydney.—This gentle- man, who is Pastor of a Presbyterian Church in Sydney, and editor of the Protestant " Standard," passed on his way to London as Delegate to the Pan-Presbyterian Assembly, to convene at London, in July. Before leaving the city, where he has been a laboring Pastor for a quarter of a century, he received a handsome testimonial at a gathering of his friends, including many of his brother ministers of Sydney. The testimonial was a purse of 700 guineas, or $3,500. The people of Sydney indicate their appreciation of earnest ministerial labors in a substantial manner. It was only a few months ago that the Rev. Mr. Curnow, a Methodist Clergyman, passed through Honolulu on his way to England, and before leaving Sydney his friends presented him with a purse of 400 guineas, or $2,000. Such generous testimonials bespeak ministerial fidelity, and an appreciative Christian community. �ADVERTISEMENTS. Places of Worship. 31 TBE FRIEND, AP R t L,, 187 G . SAILORS' HOME! S. C. Damon.

At thb Monthly Concert for March, the subject of Christian labors among the Chinese was prominent. It is customary with some to sneer at work among this people. "Can any good thing come out of Nazarethi"' We might here present a number of instances showing the genuineness of conversions among the Chinese here and in California, but this is not to the purpose. Our duty is to do what wn can for this people, now placed within reach of our influence, and leave the results with that Power which is so surely effecting the conquest of the wojjd to Christ. /M.a.ny of the Chinese residing here have Hawaiian wives, and their homes are neat and creditable. They guard their homes from vice and immorality with jealousy, especially those who have come under Christian influences. They have a great influence among the Hawaiians for good or evil, and those who would labor for the preservation of tne Hawaiians cannot be unmindful of this influence. If anything would have a recuperative effect upon the native race, it would be to check the immorality and licentiousness so fearfully prevalent among them. With the care and nurture of homes in tbe true sense of the word, the children would multiply nnd families increase. Among the Chinese who have shown a disposition to learn and put themselves under good influences a large proportion ore those who are married to native wives. In view of these relations, it is more than ever our duty to multiply the means of moral culture among the Chinese as possible, a nnd thus make them, blessing, rather than a blight upon this peoone who watches the labors of Mr. ple. Sit Moon, the Chinese colporteur of the Y. M. C. A., and attends the meetings he holds, can fail to doubt the value of his labors to this community. //No This is a traveling community. By the for San Francisco will commence the annual hegira. The number of migrating birds this year will be greater than usual. Many natives of the United States and children of household, where sentiments of revenues for the Great Republic have been cherished as household words will go to join in the rejoicing incident to the Centennial celebration. It has been said that traveling always improves the head, but not always the heart; but we think the moral lessons of the great centennial will be full of culture for the heart. The observant visitor will see much that will encourage him with refejence to the progress nnd elevation of man. There will probably be few, if any, crowned heads there, but there will be gathered the trophies of the kings of art and of mechanical science. Methods of education and much that will illustrate the advance of the last century will attract attention. Pondering upon this great gathering of man and his achievements, the mind will be expanded and the heart quickened to— next steamer doubtless astonished at the number and variety of appliances rendered necessary by life in a northern climate, and after sweltering in a degree of summer heat unknown to us in these islands, or shivering in the chill blasts of a northern winter, will return to their embowered homes content with the fate that cast their lot in Hawaii nei. To all who are favored with opportunities of travel this year we extend our best wishes for pleasant journeyings, and heart and mind enriching experiences. "Let the Dead Bury Their Dead." Christ, the loving Christ, said these words, and joined with them the injunction, " follow me." What meaning had that strange and seemingly harsh command ? There was the sacred duty of burying with due respect the father of this disciple. Yet Christ tells him there is even a higher duty for him, and that those who are not prepared for this higher duty—who are, as he terms them, as yet dead " in regard to the higher life, are nevertheless fully ready and competent to perform the other tender and necessary duty to the departed. is this not so with respect to much of the strictly Christian work before us ? There is that in the line of charity and of benevolence which is human. It commands and demands indeed our sympathy and attention, and yet it will be done by those who h«ve not yet risen into the Christian life. Meanwhile the sacrifice and labor requisite for the purely Christian and evangelical work can only be given by disciples of the Savior. While enterprises, good in themselves, are going on by the efforts of thosp able and willing to undertake them, is knot expected of the Christian that he will husband his strength for what ho has more especially pledged himself to do? We cannnot, the most of us, do everything. This view of the case applies to the Y. M. C. A. work. It is, or should be, a purely Christian enterprise ;—evangelical, 1. c., gospel-carrying. Those engaged in it may well keep in mind the meaning of the words C. J. L. " singleness of heart." " Men are made up of potences. We are magnets in an iron globe. We have keys to all doors. We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck ; the earth sensitive as iodine to light; the most plastic and impressionable medium, alive to every touch, and. whether searched by the plough of Adam, the sword of Cassar, the boat of Columbus, the telescope of Galileo, or the surveyor's chain of Picard, or the submarine telegraph, to every one of these experiments it makes a gracious .response. 1 am benefitted by every observation of a victory of man over nature—by seeing that wisdom is better than strength ; by seeing that every healthy and resolute man is an Him from whom all blessings flow." "OurPraise friends from our sunny clime will be erganizer, a method coming into a confusion 32 AsYCMochoiearutnnH'gf onolulu. and drawing order out of it. We are touched and cheered by every such example. We like lo see the inexhaustible riches of nature, and the access of every soul to her magazines. These examples wake an infinite hope and call every man to emulation. A low hopeless spirit puts out the eyes; skepticism is slow suicide. A philosophy which wees only the worst.believes neither in virtue or in genius ; which says 'tis all of no use, life is eating us up, 'tis only a question who shall be last devoured—disspirits ns ; the sky shuts down before us. A Schoppenhauer, .with logic and learning and wit, teaching pessimism—teaching thnt this is the worst of all possible worlds, and inferring that sleep is better than waking, ami death than sleep—all the talent in the world cannot save him from being odious. Hut if instead of these negatives you give me affirmatives—if you toll me that there is always life for the living; that what man has done man can do; that this world belongs to the energetic ; that there is always a way to everything desirable ; that every man is provided, in the new bias of his faculty, with a key to nature, and that man only rightly knows himself as far as he has experimented on things,—l am invigorated, put into genial and working temper; the horizon opens and we are full of good will and gratitude to the Cause of Causes.— ll. W. Emerson on J!i sources. ■ A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some spot of a native land, where it may get the love of tender kinship fur the face of earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar, unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge : A spot where the (lefiniteiiess of early memories may he �nwrought with affection, and kindly acquaintance with all neighbors, even to the dogs and donkeys, may spread, not hy sentimental effort and reflection, but as a sweet, habit of the blood. At five years old. mortals are not prepared, to be citizens of tho world, to be stimulated by abstract nouns, to soar above preference into impartiality ; and that prejudice in favor of milk with which we blindly begin, is a type of the way body and soul must get nourished, at least for a time. The best introduction to astronomy is to think of the nightly heavens as a little lot of stars belonging to one's own homestead. Goodness isa large, often a prospective word; like harvest, which at one stage when we talk of it lies all underground, with an indeterminate future : Is the germ prospering in the darkness? At another, it tins put forth delicate green blades, and by and by the trembling blossoms are ready to be dashed off by an hour of rough wind or rain. Each stage has its peculiar blight, nnd may have the healthy life choked out of it by a particular action of the foul land which rears or neighbors it, or by damage brought from foulness afar From George Elliot, in — Daniel Deronda, � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
