FAREWELL TO NORWAY. After the delighful days on Sogne Fjord but little time remained for further rambles in Norway. In Bergen on the western coast, I spent a short time, enjoying this picturesque town, and especially the quaintfisher-folk, who flock hither on market days. Bergen is situated on a wild bleak coast, but the landward side is rendered beautiful by blooming gordens and vertlant hills. Many of the ancient buildings remain, which were used in former times by the German Merchants who formed such a powerful guild here. From Bergen I took steamer, for Hamburg. The voyage lasted two days. We touched at different points on the Norwegian coast, which however as you proceed South, loses the wild grandeur which characterizes it farther North. We stopped for a short time at Stavanger and some hours at Christiansand, a pleasant town. Here I had time to take a delightful walk in the early autumn sunshine on the hills lying back of the town. The sail or steam from the mouth of the Elbe to Hamburg was most delightful—the day perfect in autumn freshness. Soon we found ourselves in the midst of the forests of masts, which border the Hamburg wharfs, and the sound of German words filled the air, and my Scandinavian as far as the journey was at an end. t actual steam, rail and foot-travel was concerned, but to be lived over and over and over again, in pleasant memories. May the richest of blessings rest on these fair lands and may the spirit of peace and prosperity which now reigns here abide forever realizing in its best and holiest sense a golden age «•• for Scandinavia. HAMBDROI. In Hamburg I found a cordial and delightful welcome awaiting me, in the most beautiful home of our Hawaiian Consul, Herr Weber, who with his amiable and accomplished lady and charming children form n rare and agreeable family circle. 1 know that I am at the enthusiastic period of my life, and see everything in warm colors, and perhaps to you at a distance, I seem to deal largely in superlatives, but I can truly say, that of all the beautiful homes which have �62 THE FRIEND, AUGUST, opened friendly doors to me in my rambles, and of all the warm welcomes, which have charmed and cheered me, the home and welcome in Hamburg, exceeded and surpassed all. Everything had been arranged for me, my writing table prepared in the library, my home letters awaiting me, a footman in livery placed at my disposal. Mr Weber was soon at home, and though we had only met once or twice in Berlin, yet from the first we had been good friends, as in many respects we had similar tastes aVid ideas. As it was necessary for me to hasten back to Berlin, I had only two or three days to spend here, but every moment nearly was occupied, my friends were very clever in getting a great deal of sight-seeing and visiting into a short time. We walked and drove through the city, so that even in the short time I was there, I saw much of the picturesque old houses ofthe city—its busy bustling streets, its splendid parks and gardens. One day we made a charming excursion on the shores of the Elbe. We lunched at a famous restaurant, from which there is a superb view over the river on which hundreds of ships and great steamers are constantly sailing. On our return home we frequently alighted from the carriage, to walk through some noble park or visit some beautiful hot-house or garden of friends or acquaintance of theirs, which lie along the Elbe for miles, The family of our Consul is one of the first in Hamburg. His brother is now Rurgermeister, the highest position in this somewhat Republican city, and he pointed out to me one splendid residence after another, where some relative, lived. Mr Weber»introduced me to many gentlemen among them Herr Gossler, Mrs. Weber's father formerly Hawaiian Consul in Hamburg. I met also on the Exchange, Mr Moll, who was many years ago, a merchant in Honolulu.. One evening we dined at the country house of Madame Weber, the mother of my friend, I never felt more honored than in taking this wonderful old lady, 86 years of age, out to dinner. She is one of the most remarkable persons I ever met, retaining to a wonderful degree her brilliancy of intellect, speaking with energy and eloquence on all subjectsof Art, Literature, Religion, etc. She is one of the intellectual forces of Hamburg. Mr. Weber's house is like himself, artistic through and through. It seems to have been a dream of his to have a perfect home, and few dreams seem ever to have been more nearly realized. It is full of beauties, you can turn in no direction, but something suggestively beautiful dawns or flashes on you. You take your coffee after dinner in the tropics, in the midst of rare ferns and vines, with a view beyond into an exquisite little hot-house full also of ferns and rich leaved plants. Rich old Italian wood-carvings, dusky with age, filled some of the rooms, even the " bathtub " is artistic, carved white marble from Italy, rare paintings hung on the walls. Mr. Weber has a special fondness for collecting old coins, Greek and Roman, of which he has a fine collection. I was amazed at the new world which he opened to me, in this respect. He has one work on Greek coins which is in 21 volumes. 187 9. Christ, in vogue in the Punic wars, which were recently found in a grave near Naples. Then there are many Greek and Roman coins in gold and silver, bright and shining as if they had just dropped from the die. Herr Weber has probably the finest pic- gallery, for historical study in all North Germany The dining hall for large dinner parties is a perfect work of art, the walls consist of exquisite paintings from two Weimarartists. From my bed-room I had a splendid view over the garden, which though it lies in the city, is so large that you think you must be in some country place,—great trees, smooth lawns, groupings of shrubbery, carved Italian seats, a Grapery etc, etc. From the spacious Drawing Rooms there is a splendid view also over the Alster, which here broadens like a lake. But I must not weary you further with hurried details, which can give so little idea of the reality. The Hawaiian Flag floated over us during my stay and very bright, beautiful and home like, it seemed to me. It 4s a great pleasure to have spent a few days in such an atmosphere, and better than all, to find that all these material treasures have in no way quenched the noble, generous impulses of their owners. Leaving Hamburg, I reached Berlin September 28. Pleasant as has been all my summer travel, very, very pleasant was it for me to be at home once more, as I have grown so much attached to this German Capital. ture :o: THE IMPERIAL GOLDEN WEDDING IN BERLIN. In letters of gold stands now written in German Annals the record of this most interesting week in which the illustrious Pair, Wilhelm Ist and Augusta, Emperor and Empress of Germany, celebrated, amid the acclamations of a loving and united nation, the anniversary of their fiftieth wedding day. An event of so rare occurrence, as. that of a " the crowning of half a " golden ofwedding wedded life, is of itself, in any century rank in life and in any land, most singularly impressive and tenderly poetic. So that it becomes an anniversary of national and historic importance when occurring in the united lives of the Sovereigns of one of the most powerful nations in History, and in a land where all the events of homeand family life, from earliest infancy to latest age, in palace or peasant's hut, are invested with a beautiful and poetic significance. Hence we find the opening words of the address of the Court-Chaplain pronounced at the marriage service on the 11th of June, especially truthful in their eloquence. song of praise is awaked. " Andthe the From banks of the Rhine and Mosel, from whose heights last evening the gleam of joyful fires illumined the land, to the twin-sees of the north, and again to the shores of the Bodin Sea and far over the borders of Germany rises to the Lord of Lords a new song."— Realizing the warm and sincere interest which many take in the welfare of Germany and ber rulers, 1 have thought a brief outline of the ceremonies attending this unique anniversary might not be uninteresting.— perceptibly larger, hundreds and thousands had come in from the country and other cities to take share in the celebrations.—Perhaps never hod such a company of heads of Princely and Ducal houses gathered in the capital, and their bril- streets the throng grew liant equipages were constantly dashing along the avenues. The first official celebration of the day was a grand open air concert on the Donhofls Platz, one of the principal squares of the city, at nine o'clock in the morning.—lt was a most impressive and imposing affair. The chorus consisted of over fifteen hundred voices from the various musical organizations of the city, famed for their careful and accurate training, attended by bands of music under skilled leaders.— The spacious " Platz" was filled with hundreds and thousands of listeners. The singers filled a huge raised platlorm. Everything combined to render the concert interesting and impressive. The day was lovely with all the beauty and freshness of midJune and the charm which the still early morning possesses.—Summer skies arched themselves above the listening thousands and the golden sun shone as if rejoicing in the gladness of the wedding day.—The music was chosen with rare taste and care. Never have I realized more truly the grand and stately music of the old German church chorals, than as sung by this grand choir ; it moved one like the wind in primeval " March forests." Mendelssohn's " Wedding that most inspiring composition was appro-" priately given as one of the pieces in the programme. From early morning the avenue " Unter den Linden " was filled with thousands, who desired to catch a glimpse of the Emperor and Empress. Flags and banners and festoons of green gave the city a very holiday appearance. Near noon the Emperor and Empress drove at the head ola procession of princes and potentates, —the Duke of Edinburgh representing the Royal Family of England, and the Grand Duke Alexis that of Russia, from their palace to the Imperial Castle where the ceremony of the •'golden wedding" was celebrated.—This took place in the Imperial Chapel, and was confined to the Royal Family, the forejgn princes and the higher German officials. The other guests appeared afterwards to present their congratulations. The ceremony is described as most impressive. The address of the Court-Chaplain was most eloquent, and all the circumstances combined to give a peculiarly solemn and earnest character to the scene. At the conclusion of the ceremony a salute of 101 guns announced its completion to the waiting thousands without, and cheer on cheer rent the air. The Emperor and Empress now took their stand in the great " white saloon," for the grand court reception. After the King and Queen of Saxony, with the long and brilliant train of foreign princes, attended by their lords and ladies, the Emperor and Empress received the " corps' diplomatique," who passed in line before their Majesties, led by the different ambassadors. It was a brilliant and superb pageant. The Emperor and Empress were radiant with smiles and The French collect the facts and the GerFESTIVITIES OF THE DAY. kindliness.

The Empress was regally attired �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, for the occasion, a robe of white satin embroidered with sprays of orange-blossoms, from which swept away a splendid train of cloth of gold or brocade. Near the Emperor stood the Crown-Prince, and at the side of the Empress, her daughter-in-law the Crown-Princess. The latter appeared in public on this day, for the first time since the death of her son, Prince Waldemar. She was attired in the purest white, and wore no ornaments. Her face is still very very sad, and in the midst of the brilliancy and splendour of this joyful day I am sure every one felt a warm and tender sympathy for the princely mother, called to mourn so deep a loss. For hours following there passed a continual line before the Imperial pair, court-officials, corporations, deputations, guilds, etc., etc., offering their congratulations. At length, later in the afternoon, the Imperial carriage appeared drawn by six superb horses, and attended by out riders. From castle to palace a splendid double line of university students formed a spalier through which the Imperial carriage passed. After their arrival at their palace, the Emperor and Empress appeared immediately on the balcony fronting the Linden and bowed repeatedly to the throng below, whose acclamations filled the air. It was one of those splendid crowning moments in a nation's history and no German or foreigner present could have witnessed it unmoved. In the evening there was a gala-opera performance, the opera chosen being the " Olympia " of Spontini, which was superbly sung. None but invited guests were present. The Imperial loge was occupied by the Emperor, Empress, their family and guests. I think 1 have scarcely ever witnessed a more splendidly brilliant sight than that which the Opera house afforded on this evening. The ladies were in full dress and glittering with diamonds, and the gentlemen with few exceptions in uniforms more or less brilliant. Bismarck, Moltke, Mantenffel, Biilou, and other great lights in the German Firmament were present. At night the city was splendidly illuminated. The banks of the Rhine and the adjacent hills were lighted by bonfires, on the left bank Irom Bingerbruck to Rolandseck, and on the right bank from Eltville to the Seven Hills. The fires were lighted at 9 o'clock and kept burning one hour along the whole distance—sixty miles. The grandeur of this demonstration attracted a large number of strangers to the Rhine Valley. On Thursday it was expected that a grand parade would take place, but owing to the fact that the Emperor of Russia was unable, on acconnt of the illness of his daughter-in-law, to be present, this idea was abandoned. On Thursday followed a grand dinner in the castle, and later in the evening a Court-concert. The music was wonderfully beautiful, the performances being from the first singers of the land. And with this fete closed the celebrations of the golden wedding, which will not be soon forgotten by those who were permitted to take any share in the same. All over the city and land for these days was there rejoicing and plenty. Thousands of the poor were feasted at least for once in their lives to a generous and satisfying repast. All ranks seemed to 1879. 63 Berlin accounts of the wedding festivities. William yon Humboldt praises the grace and accomplishments and talents of tbe young bride, Berlin is en fete, for days, quiet, old-fashioned Berlin, of fifty years ago, so different from the brilliant Imperial capital of to-day. Two children came to brighten the princely home, who in the fulness of their noble and beautiful manhood and womanhood, were conspicious above all others, on the late Golden Wedding day, the crown Prince of Germany, and the Grand Duchess of Baden. As Prince William, as Prince of Prussia, crown Prince, Prince Regent, King, and Emperor, has Wilhelm Ist, in a brave, loyal, and royal manner borne himself, meeting with an undaunted energy and will, the greatest difficulties. It is scarcely possible to realize amid the present almost idolatrous devotion of the German people, that the present Emperor, was forced as Prince, in the dark and stormy days of 1848, to take refuge at the friendly court of of England from the threatened attacks of the Berlin populace. Over no triumphal way strewn with roses has he walked to his present throne, but to use the words of his great chancellor and friend amid the testing experiences of " battles of blood and iron!" There was the Danish war, then the marvelous victories of 1866, with the triumph at Koniggratz, and like a memory of yesterday, do we recall the history of those eventful years 1870 and 1871, beginning with the insult of Benedetti on the promenade at Ems, and culminating in the triumphal proclamation of the King of Prussia as Emperor of Germany in the " Salle dcs Glares " at VerA RETROSPECTION. sailles !

My time will scarcely permit of my mentioning them, but I would say, en passant, that 1 think none will prove more interesting than the beautiful and unique present from His Majesty King Kalakaiia to the Empress, which has just arrived in safety from Honolulu, and will be presented this week to her Imperial and Royal Majesty. Those who have been privileged to see it here, express most warmly their admiration, and their astonishment at the exquisite and artistic workmanship which is displayed in the same. A most graceful and appropriate Royal aloha does it bring from Hawaii to Germany. In closing this brief sketch of this most interesting anniversary, I know that I am expressing the feeling of all thoughtful men and women in this land, when I say that it has been a festival full of blessing and rich promise for this great country. The nation has been brought renewed ly together, noble and generous, charitable and philanthropic sentiments have been aroused, and I would fondly hope that the memory of these days of joy and thanksgiving celebrated in the golden radiance of summer in this month of blooming roses, may ever hereafter rise as a lasting barrier betweeff all former memories of national unrest and discontent.

In Nord Hausen a wealthy b.tnker, impelled by the wave of charity which Ims at this time swept over Germany, had given a large sum to found a house for the aged. He had intended it to be kept a secret, but a relative discovering his purpose in a spirit of emulation insisted in giving a tract of land, in order, as he said that his brother-in-law's undenaking might "rest upon a good basis.! " And yet there are pessimists in our days who think the world is quite hopelessly wrong and selfish ! Would it not be well for us all to rejoice that there is so much that is grand and beautiful in the charity and humanity of our century. ! A FEW WORDS IN CLOSING. I have lately through the kind courtesy of my esteemed friend, Dr. Rodenberg, editor of the " Rundschan," been permitted to see the proof-sheets of an article entitled " The Hawaiian Islands," which will appear in that valuable magazine on the Ist of July. It is from the journal of Dr. Ernst Boehr, who was attached to the Imperial German Corvette Arcona, during her visit to Honolulu in 1875. It is an article written in a most kindly and highly enthusiastic tone. The writer recalls most vividly the memories of his visit there and alludes in the most glowing terms to the cordial hospitality which he experienced, in Honolulu He s.iys that in his jouruey round the world he no where found a more refined and educated society than in our capital. He revels in the beauty of this little Island city and finds there in combination .with a charming natural Paradise, a well organized "political Utopia," all of which is very pleasant for me, to hear in this far land cherishing as I do very lovingly and fondly, my Island birth-right. Dr. Boehr refers especially to the kindness of our genial and musical townsman, Dr. Hoffmann, and to the generous hospitality of our German Consul, Mr. Glade and his charming lady. Berlin is nt present rejoicing in a most successful Industrial Exposition of which I may take occasion to write you hereafter. The German Parliament will probnbly soon close its session which has been a long and important one. The Treaty between Geriimny and Samoa has been concluded. The Pacific is attracting more and more the attention of Europe and should the Panama ranal be in a few years completed we may hope for errand things for our ocean. My imagination is busy already erecting castles, whose foundations rest on the different islands in the Pacific, and 1 read new meanings in Seward's prophecy, which I see still heads the Friend. It gives me a thrill of pleasure here to know that there is so much of life and vitality still in our Islands. As an Hawaiian whose love for Hawaii grows greater as the years go by, so 1 send you all, my heartiest, warmest and cheeriest "Aloha." Frank Williams Damon.

Town of Lancaster, Mass Ily Rev. A. P. Marvin. Published by tbe Town. 1879. History of tub Town histories are among the most popular books of New England. This is no exception. It is a large octavo volume of 800 pages. Lancaster was among the very earliest settled interior towns of Massachusetts, even as early as 1643, only about twenty years after the landing of the Pilgrims. Its history embraces facts of deep interest, including the story of the Indian Massacre, by Mrs. Rowlandsnn, wife of the first Minister. She was among the captives. The author, Mr. Marvin, deserves much credit for the skillful manner in which he has interwoven events relating to the aborigines, early settlers, and the history of the town for more than two and a quarter centuries. In glancing over the pages of this volume, we are pleased and somewhat surprised to find names the same as those of several resident families of Honolulu. Not only in Honolulu, but in Lancaster—the Wilders, the Carters, the Athertons, the Damons, are neighbors, and it is no difficult genealogical Aid historical task to trace out connecting lines of relationship between old families of Lancaster and the foreign resident families of Honolulu. Our Island Youth Abroad. It always affords us much pleasure to make mention of the off-shoots of the American missionaries on the Islands, hence, we take special delight in noting the graduation of John Dielle Blanton, Valedictorian, at Hampden and Sidney College in Virginia. Young Dielle, is a son of Eliza, daughter of the Rev. John Dielle, first Chaplain in Honolulu. Miss Dielle married a gentleman in Virginia. This youth was fitted for the Sophomore Class by his mother, except in Greek, there being no good schools in that part of Virginia, where they resided. He is expected to study for the ministry, after teaching a few years. We copy as follows from the Farmville Journal, giving an account of the commencement exercises: " The Valedictory was delivered by Mr. John Dielle Blanton of Cumberland Co., who had taken the First Honor." In a recent No. of the Oberlin Weekly News, we find the following paragraph, relating to Henry M. Castle, the youngest son of the Hon. S. N. Castle, "Mr. Castle delivered a genuine oratoion, characterizing the late Chinese Bill in strong condemnatory terms. He was loudly applauded." We are pleased to learn that our neighbor Mr. Castle, has gratified his four children, James B, Carrie D, Helen X, and Henry M, pnrsuing their studies in the U. S., with a summer excursion to Europe, to be absent about 80 days. They sailed from New York on the 29th of June, with the party under Mr. Touejer's superintendence. They are expected to visit England, France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Most heartily we congratulate the young people, and trust they may return in safety, to renew their studies with zest, ambition and success. Vice Admiral James C. Provost—Some months since we published a letter from Admiral Prevost. It appears that after going to England he has returned again to the Pacific Coast to look after the Mission on Vancouver's Island, in which he feels a deep interest. Through his influence and planning, Mr. William Duncan was induced, over twenty years ago, to establish a Mission there, which has been remarkably successful. The Admiral thus writes us from San FranI only cisco, under date of June 17th : desire to do the Lord's work, and I believe 1 am doing it by re-visiting the Christian settlement of Metlaketla, where a faithful and courageous follower of our Lord Jesus has been permitted to do a great work among the Indians on the North Pacific Coast. Our " Society—the Church Missionary—has lately Missionary Bishop to those parts, and I am anxious to be present when he arrives, which may be about the end of August. The Bishop of Columbia has divided his Diocese into three portions —Vancouver's Island, Caledonia and New Westminister." Our present limits will not allow a full statement respecting this Mission, but we hope, in our next issue, to give the history and progress of the enterprise. sent a Wilder Family, in Old and New England.—The Hon. M. P. Wilder, President of the N. E. Historic, Geneological Society, in his Address at the Annual Meeting, Jan. 1, 1879,remarks as follows: "I would state that until recently 1 had made no thorough research in regard to my own ancestry beyond the landing of Mrs. Martha Wilder at Hingham, in 1638; but I am now enabled, in the Book of Wilders, just published by the Rev. Moses H. Wilder, our corresponding member, to trace my genealogy directly back nearly four hundred years, to Nicholas Wilder, a military chieftain, who fought in the famous battle of Bosworth under the Earl of Richmond, afterwards king Henry VII, and to whom that monarch gave, as a token of favor, a landed estate and a coat-of-arms, which are still in possession of the Wilders in the County of Berks, England, the present rector of Sulham, the Rev. John Wilder, D. D., being the fourth of this line who has sustained that office. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, Gough in England.—In one of his late addresses in England, Mr. Gough, the Apostle of Temperance, referred to his early life and to the fact that he was a book-binder, and worked at his trade in Worcester, Mass., in 1842. During the previous year, 1841, we were often in Worcester, and distinctly remember having a certain book bound that we now have in our library ! Mr. Gough was tbe binder, because when on our visit to the United States in 1869, we listened to an address of Mr. Gough's, and was introduced to him as coming from the Sandwich Islands, when he replied : "It was for you that I bound a book in 1841, and I heard that you went to Honolulu as a missionary." We merely add, that Mr. Gough is not only a most eloquent orator, but an excellent " book-binder." Lookout for Your Postage.—By mail letters are received marked ■ short postage,' and which would not have been received, but for the generosity of a certain official attached to the New York City Post-office. One of our American correspondents thus writes us : " Yesterday 1 had the disappointment of having my letter to you returned from the " Dead Letter Office." 1 took it to the office where it had been mailed and found the postage all right, but after passing the Boston Post-office, it was intercepted at the New York Office.

It rises in silence and splendor, In the light of tbe smiling day; The lesson la touching and tender To sufferers over tbe way.

The mualc of silence is sweeter Than theringing of bells In towers; It chordawith the cadence whose meter Is sweet aa the wind-harp In flowers. By the coucheswhose patients are sleeping, And dreaming of visions above, Two angels their vigils are keeping, One la Mercy, the otherlaLove. Not even the clock that's revealing The passing away of tbe hour, Can disturb, with dolorous peaUng— Since Love struck it dumb In the tower. "It was all Drink."—By the late decision of the Supreme Court and a Jury, the sailor John Brown, who was found guilty of killing his shipmate in a drunken encounter, has been sentenced to be hung in the month of November. We are glad to learn that the Jury, while condemning him as guilty of murder in the first degree,recommended the unfortunate man to mercy. We are also glad to learn that a petition is circulating in the prisoner's behalf, who asserts that he had no malice against his shipmate, and did not premeditate the deed, but that it was deed, purely the effects of " drink," or as the poor fellow expressed it, when asked how he came "it was all to kill his shipmate, was a case similar to that of the drink." It his friend who killed some years Spaniard Ewa, who is now near and serving out ago, his long term of imprisonment commuted in the place of hanging. Cases of this nature show the base and degrading habit of strong drink. But why, the question may lie asked, are such men any more guilty thnn other notorious drunkards, who destroy their reason and by the use of strong drink, madden their brain ? We do not know that they are, hence is not every drunkard, for the time being a moral monster, who is liable to commit crimes, which consign the perpetrators to the gallows ? This whSle matter of making, selling and drinking intoxicating liquors is fraught with guilt, degradation and misery. Those carrying on the traffic come in for their share of the guilt. We fully believe the time is coming, when making and selling intoxicating liquors, if allowed to go on, will be viewed as the very basest, vilest and guiltiest of all human employments. We think, however, that public sentiment will not allow the manufacture and sale to be carried on. The statistics of pauperism, vagrancy, crime and other evils, stamp this whole subject with the severest condemnation.

Money.—Our Island readers are fully acquainted with the names nnd efforts tif those residing here, who labored to secure the Treaty of Reciprocity. There were, however, members of Congress, unknown to us, who were deeply interested in its final passage. Perhaps none more so than the Hon. W. Money, who has been visiting the Islands. We have a distinct recollection of the testimony of Judge Allen, to the good offices of this gentleman, his efforts were the more praiseworthy, as he represented a sugnr-growing district of the United StateSj and that region a southern portion of the nntion. It was not a little remarkable that the Hon. Mr. Money should have risen above all sectional and party considerations, and come out upon the broad principles of national welfare and honor. We trust that in his subsequent career he may obtain a rich reward for his services which were so eminently conducive to our Island prosperity and the welfare of the United States, for as an American we have always regarded the Treaty, as not only mutually beneficial to boih countries, but upon the whole as even more beneficial to America than it was to the Hawaiian Islands. In our last issue, we noticed the of Lancaster, Mass." In books History " and publications of this character we take a special delight, for they are the foundation of general and universal history; We desire to return our tnanks to Dr. Hyde and Judge Hartwell for placing on our table certain publications of this nature, abounding with a vast amount of useful information. We have before us the " History of Lee, Mass.,*' the " Centennial Proceedings " of Sheffield, Mass., and a pamphlet relating to South Natick, Mass, where Eliot labored among the Indians and Mrs. Stowe found the outlines of such noted characters, as she has immortalized in her " Old Town Folks." The people of New England are, just now very much engaged in gathering up historical memoranda, and embodying the same in Town Histories and Centennial Celebrations. These book will be of incalculable service to the future historian and writer of Romances. Hawthorne has so clothed some of those old Puritans in garments of Romance, that they appear as fresh and life-like as they did two centuries ago. Mrs. Stowe is doing the same for the dwellers in other parts of New England, as well as for those of South Naiick. " Minister's Wooing "is a most readable conglomerate of fact and fiction, history and romance. We doubt not some future writer will do for America, what Walter Scott has done for Scotland. The historic facts and real characters, are lying about only needing a master pen to describe and work them up.

RAMBLES IN THE OLDWORLD-No. 32 THE WENDS OF THE SPRF.E-WAI.D. (A Sketchfrom Life.) My " Rambles " have lately led me nmong a singtirlarly interesting people, Ihe IStU fiats Wendl, who are as a nation Inking farewell of a world in which they have in other centuries played a no inconsiderable part. Their history, their interesting and unique life, the picturesque region they inhabit, and above all their grand and noble charcter and honest and loving hearts, have so cnptivaled and won my sympathy and affection, that I feel constrained to share with others, something of the impressions which a recent visit among them hus mnde upon me. A French statesman has recently said le resulLes "tat grandes agglomerations sont would be dune loi providentielle." It useless to deny that the tendency of our age is towards these same " grandes agglomerations," and we should probably rejoice that such is the case, for it has doubtless a grand and beneficial influence upon the progress of the human ra.ee, in fact we thus hope in time lo rise to the broad plain of a universal brotherhood. On the other hand no thoughful reader of history can fail tn note the important role which lesser nations have played in the world's development. No pages of history nre more luminous with the record of great deeds and heroic achievements than those devqtpd to therecital of the struggles of these valiant, though weak races against the assaults oflarge and irresistible forces and arms. This contest has been oftentimes marked by grand and moving pathos. We see in this fierce "struggle for life," the smaller forces slowly retreating, face ever turned to the foe. One vantage ground after another is lost till at length baffled, weary,and exhausted they are forced to lay down their arms, and are quickly lost sight of in the overwhelming ranks of the victors. Or, perchance, possessed of still greater vitality, they are enabled to hold their own for centuries of conflict having entrenched themselves in some remote or inhospitable region, and having cut off, as it would seem all manner of communication with the larger world without. We find examples of such national tenacity among certain peoples in various parts of the world. They have preserved their language more or less perfectly,—they are marked by certain national �66 111 I FRIEND, SK!• T I, ill 15 XX.I 8 7 9. characteristics—or it may be preserve only spirit by force. Subdued in rare tones of the voice or an occasional there, put under military glance or gesture, some eloquent reminder of the stock from which they sprung. Like lonely, weury voyagers on some great and unknown ocean, <lo we meet these wonderers from other days, singing the songs which their fathers sang, but in broken cadence ; clinging in secret, perhaps, to ancient superstitions which have grown wan and ghastly, in the light ol the better and fuller day, which has dawned ; repeating, as if possessed of some talesmanic power, the words of their ancient tongue. For one, I must confess, that i feel on especial tenderness for these smnller races, which are slowly but surely being merged in the " vastes agglomimtions," whose old, poetic individual life is doomed to pass away, snd whose languages will soon be embalmed treasures in the scholar's libraries. As introduction to this singular people, 1 can scarcely do better than to quote some facts in relerence to their history Irom the pages of a traveler, known personally to me who has preceded me in this region, and whose historical account 1 find most suggestive agd interesting. "THE PRUSSIAN WENDS AND THEIR HOME." The Wends were carried into .Northern Germany by the vast movement of peoples which took place in tho fourth und fifth centuries of the Christian era. As fast us the Swevi, Franks, and other original German tribes swept over the Rhine and down upon the I'uir domains of the Roman Empire, their places were filled by other barbarians from the vust plains of Asia. In the adjustment ol those races in the west it happened that the Scluvcs or aiclavuiiiiiiis acquired nearly the whole region from the Elbe eastward, including Silesia, Poland, I'riiHxia and much of what is now Russia. These were not indeed all Wend-. By the fifth century tho Wends were firmly settled in their new homes. In culture, and refinement, in the arts, und conveniences of life, in agriculture, trade, and other industries, they were not behind tbe Saxons, their neighbors. They lived in towns and villages and possessed a rudo system of civil government. Their religion was a species of polytheism. They believed, indeed, in one supreme god— Belboy ; but he seems to have been a Sclavic Jove among lesser divinities, the Wends and Saxons lived at peace and even in friendt<hip. Long before thut, however, a more powerful foe had obstructed their traffic from the south. So long as tho Saxons were heathen, and knew only tbe faith of their fathers, they could live with neighbors who were also heathen, Christianity was a conquering religion. It i could not be stagnant; it must advanco; and the historian is forced to admit that in early times it was little scrupulous about the policy by which it spread itself among the unreclaimed barbarians. The missionaries were often indeed the pioneers, but the warrior followed not far behind. Early in tbe ninth century the Saxons were converted to Christianity and their relations to the Wends were at once changed. Tbey no longer saw a simple active and thriving people, whose products filled all the markets of the north] hut a race of defiant heathen, who, at any price must be reduced under the sway of the Cross. They sent their bishops and abbots through the whole region, to Poland, to I'omoraniu, to Silesia, to the banks ol the Elbe and the Oder. In some of these provinces as has been said, the conquest was easy. But in others, and notably along the right bank of the Elbe, below Magdeburg tbe opposition was strong, tbe struggle long and arduous. It seemed impossible to persuade the Wends to Christianity or to break their Ccelully in places here und governors, and compelled to accept the tonus of the alien fuitli, they seined in every case the earliest chance to rise, expel their masters and restore tbeir own chosen priests. About tbe middle of tbe lOt h century it seemed as if their resistance bud finally spent itself. In 983 while the Germans were occupied far away in Italy, the Wends ruse again with the hour ol vengeance, destroyed the churches, slaughtered tho priests and with lire and sword obliterated every trace of Christianity. The Germans were driven fur back over the Elbe, anil for two centuries no attempt was made to recover the lost possession. In the 12th century came Albert the Hear. nnd his advent scaled tbe doom of tbe Wends, lie and Ins successors pursued indeed n liberal policy. The Wends who honestly embraced the Christian faith and German manner of lilc were placed on equal tonus with the conquerors. Then there were Wemlish peasants side hy side with the Gcrmuns ; Weiidisti towns which Here Germanized not destroyed, one or two Wendish princes who were made Geriuuu nobles, and founded some of the old Prussian families. Hut there were exceptions. The rule for a century was one of actual or truest hostility. The great body of the Wends loughr the conquerors step by step, year alter year, even century ulier century. At last the time cume when they could no longer resist in the open Held, liuully the vast swamps ol the Spreewald ceased to shelter them, and they have since been losing, day by duy, all the elements which made them u distinct people A Wendish writer says of his kinsmen Unit "their nationality, habits, and language ure like the rock of Heligoland, from which tho heating waves yearly tear uway a piece, until finally tho unlucky island shall disappear." Through the loss of its forests and the efforts of engineering skill, the region hue been deprived ol most of its original wildncss. A hundred and even iifty years ago, it was almost an impassable forest uod swamp." BOATING IN THE SPREEWALD. The Spreewald might almost be termed a suburb of the German capital, being easily reached in three or four hours by rail from Berlin. Till one has made the tour of this unique and picturesque region it would be difficult for him to imagine, that so delightfully fresh and primitively poetic a nook, lay so near the noise and bustle of the great and crowded city. It is surprising indeed that so few are aware what a charming ramble lies within their reach ; better perhaps for those who do come and are permitted to enjoy it in its yet unspoiled simplicity. Availing myself of a few days of vacation at Whitsuntide, I left the busy streets of Berlin for the fragrant and bird-filled groves, which border the winding arms of the Spree. It was when the perfect month ofJune was enjoying her most perfect days. The late and tardy spring was atoned for hy the matchless verdure of the early summer, and to all those who were permitted at this season to wander out from the cities of the German Fatherland into the beauty ofher woods and country ways, this season could scarcely fail to have been a source of indescribable pleasure. My way led me first to the town of Liibben, which lies on the frontier of the Spreewald, which with Lubbenan and Vetschan, was "originally founded as a barrier against the aggressions of the Wends and formed part of a circle of forts which almrst surrounded the forest." The town quiet and common plucc, enough in itself has, a certain poetic sacredness from thp fact that that sweetest of " sweet singers," Paul Ger- hard, lived and died here. He is burietl in the village church, which stands among clustering trees, on one side of the quaint old market-place. Scarcely any relic of the 17th century is more precious to Germany, than the rarely, tenderly beautiful hymns ol Gerhard, which seem now filled with martial music born of a triumphant ar.d unwavering faith, and now melodious with the chime of for off vesper-bells, inviting to devotion and penitent prayer. Near the town of Liibben is a glorious grove of elms, which tradition says was once sacred to the Wendish goddess of love, " Ljuba." There is a charming freshness about traveling in the Spreewald which I found especially delightful. At Liibben one says good-bye to cars and rails, and takes to the more enjoyable if less swift traveling by boat. The river Spree in the early part of its course is for a number of miles a succession of rapids but after this it strikes the most level of plains and spreads itself out into hundreds of arms, forming a perfect labyrinth—in the forest. Here is the home of the Wends. Afterwards the branches again unite and ihe river holds its way—on to the north. The Spreewald or Spree-forest has unfortunately for travelers and lovers of the beautiful in nature, largely disappeared—vast tracts, where a hundred years ago the trees stood in serried ranks hoary with age, are now wide spreading open fields. Still enough remains to show us how grand and beautiful it must have been. All through this extensive tract are scattered the villages and farms of the Wends and German.', the two races having in these later centuries struck a lasting peace, dwelling side by side in friendship. The Spreewald is something of a rural Venice—in our imagination changing the marble palaces —bordering the shores of the cnnal, for the arching beauty of the splendid forest trees, and seeing in the blue-eyed Wendish boatman ant! his swift and dexterously guided " kahn a reminder ofhis darker -but I think scarcely more poetic brother, singing to the dip of his gondola—oars. Surely no fairer— more perfect sunshine ever lighted the gold and marbles, of San Marco, than that which in June glints through the leafy aisles—of this northern forest. The boatmen seem bom to the oar. I have seen tiny Wendish maidens too—in their quaint and picturesque costumes, darting through the shadows of the forest, like tropical birds guiding their boats, with a skill that a professional oarsman might have envied. Every one, man, woman and child, seems at home on these " liquid ways," which are as dear to them as the country-lanes to the peasantry of England. So have they lived for centuries, each life—from the early festivities attending the baptism—until the coffin is placed reverently in the prow of the boat—and the " Dober naz" or "goodnight " is said, and the body borne away to the little burying ground, having been spent as much on the water ns the land. It is the very poetry of travel! One takes his seat in a long, flat-bottom boat, which is often times most comfortably arranged, but where generally the only seat is a bundle of straw. The oarsman, does not row or scull but " poles " from the stern. Your boatmnn being behind you, at times you seem almost — — ' �THE Mll 1: I*ll, alone in the solitude of the forest. The morning air is delicious with the perfumed breath of the early summer. You have taken your seat in your bout which you have engaged for a day or two, and your bronzed-cheeked, and blue-eyed boat man has already won your heart by his kindly respectful words. You have in a moment entered a new world, a magical under world. Your eye is on a level with the long, but graceful river-grasses which hitherto you have crushed with your foot in passing or bent to gather. Here they brush against your cheek at every turn. I felt as if 1 had found a new jewel in the open casUet of nature—one, which, those men, who with annointed eyes, living in the enjoyment of her treasures, seeing beauty where other men never cared to look, would have known how to prize. It seemed as if, by some higher spiritualism, one felt the presence of such poets as Thoreau, Keats or Shelley,—quaint, and wondrous growths such as I had never known before, lifted themselves into view. Reeds and rushes, water lihes and blue forgetmenots form our way side hedge. The air is full of murmur and music. Over our heads the long, graceful branches of thousands of elms form a leafy roof, pierced with arrows of sunlight. Now our boat lingers in some shadowy pass of the forest, now darts out into the wide expanse of open fields, where the tasselled grain and emerald grass—rise und fall, fall and rise again, like waves, as the summer wind sweeps over them. All the birds ol the north and spring are singing —from the lark high up in the blue,—to ■the nightingale who mistakes the glooms of the forest for the shadow of night. We visit little villages, quaint and picturesque and peaceful, guarded by the spire of the church and the tower of the castle. We exchange friendly wortls and greetings with the country folk whose boats meet ours at some sharp turn in the forest or in the passage through the fields. It is the first ol haying time and the barges come down the river, floating islands of verdure—piled high with the moist grass and sweet with wild flowers. Hour after hour we spend on the water. Night finds us at a friendly farmer's home among the oaks, still another dav, with boating and rambling and we come to a comfortable little inn in the heart of the forest and not far away from the WENDISH SETTLEMENT, BURG. I have alrendy alluded to the bounds of the Spreewald, within which lie a number of Wendish towns and villages. The most interesting in many respects is the town of Burg, where an excellent opportunity is afforded the visitor of seeing the people in their picturesque national costume. My visit in the Spreewald was well-timed being at Whitsuntide, so that I had a most excellent opportunity of studying the Wends at one of their holiday seasons. They are protestants, and are a singularly religious people, preserving much of that old simplicity and earnestness of faith, which is so often wanting among the dwellers in many parts of Germany. The large church with its tower, forms the center of the little town, about which the neat and cozy homes of the Wends are grouped. It forms also the center towards which the inhabitants of the SEPTEMBER, country for many miles around flock on Sundays and fete days. The Wends are a thrifty sturdy, honest race. They have forced the land of this great marsh tn produce rich and abundant harvest, and many of them are wealthy peasants, living in the midst of wide spreading and fruitful farms. Unfortunately, for many reasons, the Wendish language is fast disappearing. The language is Sclavic closely related to the Polish and Russian. Notwithstanding the great number of consonants which form the words, the language when spoken or sung, sounds most musically. Nearly all the Wends speak German, and German and Wendish go side by side in the schools, though the language of the Teuton will in time wholly displace that of the Sclave. Germany has no better, truer, more loyal sons and daughters than the Wends. She has sent her best and noblest men to light and fall for the Fatherland, and in the village churches one's attention is first of all drawn to the names of those who fell in the wars of this century. I have seen nothing so charmingly picturesque among the peasantry of Switzerland, or Norway, ns the gathering of the Wends in the village church at Burg. On WhitSunday, I walked down from my little hotel in the forest, a mile, perhaps, to the village. The first day, of the festival is regarded by the peasants as peculiarly sacred and the women appear in solemn, white and black. The worthy cantor or school-master of the town, had told me that I must not fail to be present at the service on Monday, and I found that he was right. It was certainly one of the most brilliant sights which I have seen in all my travels. The following description of the dress of the women, will enable you to understand somewhat better, how bright a congregation must be where the women by hundreds are in such costumes. "The head dress is made of a single square piece of linen as white as snow and siarched with exquisite art which is bound about the head. It stands out on each side like t great fan. A jacket of velveteen with full white sleeves is not enough for the body ; over this small shawls of oriental brilliancy are tightly and neatly pinned. The shawls are sometimes worn instead of the white linen on the head and with the long fringe falling down look very fantastic and picturesque. The skirts always mnke up in width, what they lack in length. They are usually of plain woolen goods, red, blue, green, or orange, trimmed at the bottom by a band of black velvet ribbon or some plain stripe. The lining is of the stiffest crinoline. There is still another costume worn by widows and by communicants at the Sacrament. The skirt is black and instead of the heavy linen head dress a piece of thin white muil is laid across the head, with a black ribbon to keep it in place. The face sinks down into «n immense Elizabethan ruff of the same material." Just endeavor to picture this unique assemblage. From the country fur around they have been gathering for hours. The winding canals, the shadowy-passes of the forest, the fields of standing grain have been lighted up all along by these brilliant-peasant dresses. The interior of the church is tastelully and profusely decorated with fes- 18 79. 67 and wreaths and branches and boughs of elm and alder, green with the beauty of summer. The body of the church is filled by the women, numbering several hundred, so that as we look down upon them from above, these brilliant and gorgeous costumes, seem like great tropical blossoms in a garden-parterre. The men occupy the long galleries, their dress being in striking conirast to that of the women, that of the latter being all color and glitter, the former, sober and precise black, relieved now and then by some more ancient coat in blue with huge brass buttons. The service and sermon are in Wendish. The people all join in the slow singing of the chorals and bend devoutly in prayer. The clergyman is u young man, in black robe and bands, with a refined and scholarly face. 1 came to know him Inter and found him a most agreeable and intelligent gentlemen, an educated Wend, who is devoting his life, faithfully and successfully to his people. The organ fills the church with its deep melody, once more after the service, then comes a baptism, and then the great congregation pass out in the same quiet decorous manner in which they have entered And novv is the time to see the display of the Wendish dress. The village streets are bright with color. The open square before the grey church is, in the radiant sunshine, a mosaic of blue and crimson, green, violet, scarlet, orange, brown, rose color. The Wendish women seem to have an oriental fondness for color and display. Some of them are beautiful, with complexions which many a high bom lady might envy, lustrous white suffused with the rose and red which their life in the fragrant forests in the flowery fields, under the blue of their native sky can alone impart. There are "studies" for an artist at every turn, here a group of maidens, daughters of the wealthier peasants, the country aristocrscy in their brilliant and often costly costumes, chatting with the brown, honest, blushing farmer boys, with huge, roses in their button-holes. Here a bent and wrinkled grandmother, clinging to her staff, and carrying her carefully folded handkerchief and prayer book, looking in her quaint costume, as if she hnd stepped out of an ancient picture A rosy cheeked maiden, stands unconscious of the artistic effect, under some arching door-way festooned with clinging ivy—quiet groups gaiher among the yet quieter graves of the little hurrying ground. But most attractive of all are the dear little Wendish maidens, mere babies, walking.with all the stateliness of an empress, and dressed in as quaint a style as their mothers. Slowly they are scattering to their homes. Far off amid the green fields you catch the gleam of a scarlet skirt or orange turban, vanishing at length in the shadows of the forest, and so closes this carnival of color which repeats itself, with each recurring Sabbath and fete day. One of my delightful excursions in the neighborhood of Burg was to the Burgberg, now a grass and grain grown rampart, where it is said the ancient Kings of the Wends had for centuries their castle and fortress. There have been most interesting relics of late years found* here.

One quiet afternoon as I was reading in the garden of my Forest-hotel, I was pleasantly startled by hearing a voice, cheerily calling out to me, "Aloha /" Imagine my surprise! Had the oaks and elms of the Spreewald learned the language of Hawaii ? It was my kind friend the good Cantor of Burg, who had so pleasantly surprised me, and when I questioned him further I learned that a gentleman, a remarkable linguist, who has been spending some time amongst the Wends, studying their character, life and language, had taught him our greeting. This led to my meeting a little later this same gentleman, Herr Dr. Sanerwein, whose acquaintance will be among the very pleasant memories of my visit in this most interesting region. The doctor is a gentleman of rare and wide scholarly attainments, and is n poet in heart and nature. For his kind hospitality, (1 was his guest for several days in a little tree-embowered Wendish village, of idyllic beauty, with groves of which Bryant might have sung); and for the opportunity given me of meeting with so rich and highly gifted a nature, keenly sensitive to the beautiful both in the real and the ideal of life, 1 shall always be most sincerely grateful. He has studied languages without end, of many of them he is master and sings his songs in I know not how many tongues. He is one of those men " to know whom is to be rich." Years ago he interested himself in the Hawaiian, obtaining of this musical language as correct an idea as is possible through books. This of course formed immediately a bridge on which we met. The days I spent as his guest will ever seem to me a blending of Hawaii and the Spreewald, so much did our words and thoughts have to do with those lands of the North and South. Through his kindness I had the pleasure of seeing much of the Wends. A company of them came to sing for me their ancient melodious folk-songs, bringing me flowers as our Hawaiians do. I saw them in their homes nestling picturesquely among the trees, talked with them in the fields, working amidst the sunshine and the rain, watched them in their country dances and festivities, breathed ss it were for a time the poetry of their simple, honest, beautiful life. Do you wonder that my memories of the Spreewald are pleasant. To all the kind friends who there did so much to make my stay agreeable, I take this opportunity of sending my aloha nui loa.

Hawaiian Legation, Berlin, July 16, 1579. : The arrival of the distinguished visitors the Hon. W. M. Gwinn, Hon. W. Money, Hon. F. B. Low and Hon. F. McCoppin, reminds us of events thirty years ago in California, when it was our privilege to make a tour through Oregon and California. Most vividly do we recall the celebration of the 4th of July, 1849, in the grove where now stands the City of Sacramento, when the Hon. Mr. Gwinn addressed the assembled multitude. We had just arrived Irom an excursion across the plains from Stockton, where it had been our privilege to deliver the first sermon ever preached in that city. We copy as follows from our journal as published in the Friend of December, 1849 "The country between Stockton and Sutter's Fort, is very level, and dry. A part of the distance the traveller passes through extensive " oak openings," Weary and sunburnt, we arrived at the Fort, about 12 o'clock, having rode nearly seventy miles since 3 o'clock, of the previous afternoon.— July ith:—The morning was ushered in with the firing of cannon and crackers.

After 30 years it is pleasant again to meet Sen. Gwinn. During these thirty years what stirring scenes have been witnessed in the world's history. There is one pleasing incident in the life of the distinguished Senator, to which we refer with delight. About the year 1857 a crew of Japanese landed destitute and friendless in San Francisco Among them was a bright and intelligent lad, who was so foitunate as to attract the Senator's attention, and was taken by him to Washington and there educated. Years pass and the young man returns to the Pacific Coast and joined the Cooper about 1860, under command of Capt. Brooks, who had beencommissioned to take the deepsoundings from San Francisco to Japan, via Honolulu. Some of our readers will remember young Hiko, who whs the guest of the Attorney General, Mr. Bites. After arriving in Japan, he became a merchant, and wt> have frequently heard of him as exceedingly prosperous in business. Shakespeare aptly remarks : " Ilnw far that little candle throws his rssawSaJ Ho shines a kihkl deed In a naughty world." Since writing the above Mr. Gwinn has related the following anecdote respecting his old protege. During the civil war, Hiko was Secretary of the Japanese Legation in Washington, and when visiting some friends in Georgetown, he was arrested as General Beauregard, and could not obtain his release until he had sent for evidence to Washington, where he was well-known. Hawaii at Amherst. Among the graduating class of Amherst College for this year we notice three belonging to the islands, viz: Charles A. Peterson, Benjamin Bond and Oliver Shipman. The former arrived by a late vessel, having been absent just four years. His brother Arthur arrived a few weeks previous, having been studying law at Michigan University and Plymouth, Mass. It is exceedingly pleasant to meet young men returning, after spending a few years in Colleges, and ambitious to acquire an education to fit them for professional life. Mr. Peterson speaks of a pleasant re-union of the sons and daughters of Hawaii at Amherst, coming to enjoy the festivities of the commencement season. The gathering embraced the following Fanny Andrews, graduate of South Hadly; Luella Andrews, from Almira, N. V., Female Seminary j and Florence Andrews. These are daughters of the late Rev. C. B. Andrews, of Maui. Rev. William Bond, graduate of Andover Theological Seminary; Benjamin Bond ami Abbie Bond, from Bradford Female Seminary. These are children ol the Rev. E. Bond, of Kohala, Hawaii. Oliver Shipman and Clare Shipman, from Abbott Female Seminary, Andover. These are children of Mrs. Reed, formerly Mrs. Shipman, of Hilo. It may be well imagined that at such a gathering these young people must have enjoyed much in recalling their island experiences and their student lives. : �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, Recognition Hawaii in Germany.—Among the frequent notices of our Islands in European papers, there has recently appeared a long communication, in the "Deutsche Rundschau," a leading Monthly in Berlin, upon the Hawaiian Islands. It is written by Dr. Boehe, surgeon on board the German vessel of war, Arcona, visiting Honolulu in 1875. This article is highly appreciative of the Islands and of the foreign society to which the writer was inroduced while here. The editor of the "Rundschau" hasforwardeda copy to His Majesty, wit h the following letter, which we are permitted to publish, accompanied with His Majesty's appreciation of the favor : Sire :—Tho undersigned editor of the Rundschau " begs to have the Deutsche "honour of presenting to your Majesty a copy of a report on the Hawaiian Islands, which has appeared in the current number of the said periodical.

Mr. C, came out as a farmer, after a so-journ of a ye*r or more, he returned with his family, as it was not found practicable to carry on farming-operations for the benefit of the mission or natives. The last survivor of that first company was, Mrs. Jerusha Chamberlain, who died at Qttincy, Mass., June 27 at the advanced age of ninety two years and seven months. We would merely add, that among the Pioneer English ladies arriving here in early times was Mrs. Mary Taylor, sister of the wife of the British Consul, Mr. Charlton, and that she now resides in London, at the advanced age of about 87 years, and in good health, and a constant reader of the " Friend."

Jenks wrote to his friends, and the Masonic Lodge of which he was a member. So highly did these parties appreciate the kind services of Captain and Mrs. Jenks, that the Williamson Lodge of Philadelphia, sent to him a handsomely framed testimonial while his friends presented Mrs. Jenks,. with a gold watch and chain. It is with pleasure we note such expressions of appreciation for services rendered, and their infrequency only renders them more praiseKindness worthy. Oahu College, opens on Wednesday of this week.

It would be surprising if it were not so; but, as a rule, I found the missionaries filled with the plain common sense for which the New England agriculturists are celebrated. They are all married, live in comfortable, clean houses, and are simple and unpretending in their habits, following as near as possible the habits and customs of their forefathers to which they had been accustomed before they left their native land. They neither drink wine nor smoke tobacco, and though their toleration allows the guest within their gates to indulge in the latter bad habit, yet they never provide strong drink for them or for any one. "Looking down from an eminence, as do these simple, disinterested, shrewd men. on the intrigues and scandals going on around them, I believe their opinions on the condition of the provinces and the provincial populations to be more unbiased and valaable than any other.

Mr. Parton quotes from 'Old Merchants of New York" Ist Series, as follows: " He went to ihe ship-owner, and got back his pass. He then bought a ship, and loaded her with an assorted cargo. On. her way out, she touched at the Sandwich Islands to take in water and Iresh provisions. They also laid in a large slock of firewood. " When this ship reached Canion a mandarin came on board, and noiicing their firewood, asked the price of it nt once. The Captain laughed at such a question, but signified that he was open to an offer. The mandarin offered $500 a ton, and every part of it was sold at. that price. That was sandal wood. " For seventeen years Mr. Astor enjoyed the lucrative sandal-wood trade without a rival. No other concern in the United States or England knew the secret. Nor was it discovered until a shrewd Boston ship-owner detailed a ship to follow one of Mr. Astor's, und observe the events of the voyage.

Among the objects of the late Fair for the benefit of the Bethel, started by the ladies of the choir and so generously patronised by the community, was the purchase of a new collection of Hymns and Music for public worship. After examining various collections, the committee finally decided upon the one having the following title-page : Bethel Repaired and Re-painted. HYMNS It moy be said of the Bethel in Honolulu, the same as was said of the Temple at Jerus ilein, " Forty aod six years was this temple in building." The Bethel was dedicated as a house for public worship in November, 1833—forty-six years ago. During nearly one-half a century it has been opened nearly ■every Sabbath for public worship, seats free; hence, for all necessary repairs and other expenses appeals have been made to the public, and uniformly a generous response has been made. It has long been apparent that some repairs were needed. The recent expenditures amount to a little over 51,200, SONGS OF PRAISE and to meet these bills about $1,000 has already been raised, including the avails of the Fair in May. In our next issue we shall duly report ihe exact amount received and hoc*' expended. The Bethel will be opened for public ■service »»n Sabbath morning, November 9th.

It contains 1411 hymns and 450 tunes and chants. The names of the authors are inserted, and the date when thgy lived. There are very many reasons apparent for regarding this collection as most admirably suited for the purposes of worship in the sanctuary. Aside from its uses as an aid to public worship, we commend the book as a beautiful collection of sacred hymns for private reading. A good hymn-book is a full storehouse of lyric poetry, in which the English language is now so remarkably choice and rich. Some of the hymns of other ages and other languages have been admirably translated and reproduced in our age and language. Hymns of the Middle Ages, hymns from Germany and France and other lands, now delight the modern lover of spiritual songs. Many, very many, are to be found 85 {(©lbSmtS, M M. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 34 WALKS ABOUT BERLIN. A recent French writer has said of Berlin: is a city which presents an appearance "ofItstrength and grandeur; has broad streets; long lines of houses, impressing one more by their size than by their beauty; in no way adapted to please one. Moreover, no effort is ever made to interest one. Here there is but one object, to instruct and to command. Here they know only two elements of civilization, the army and the university, science and war, the discipline of the school and the discipline of the regiment. If Munich and Dresden are the Museums of Germany, then is Berlin the Arsenal!" This 1s a Frenchman's description of the Prussian Capital, and one against which much might be said. And yet there is some truth, I am forced to confess, in it; though with every advancing year of the Empire this will be less the case. 1 am made aware of the lack of the poetic and picturesque elements in the city when I take my daily walk. The city is in memories, too, military. There are few of those delightful nooks which one finds in many other cities, where one may enter into the eloquent silence of the past; few shrines before which one may bend, forgetful of all else, while " far off the noises of the world retreat." We have no Westminster Abbey, with its " Poet's Corner;" no Pere Lachaise, that silent city of the silent dead; there are not here the thousand enticing rambles of Old Kome on the Tiber, or Florence on the silver Arno. Still there are some points which one seeks, with willing feet, in the city and suburbs, connected with the names and memories of men who, through especial beauty of life, or through exceptional genius, which they have known wisely to use, have now a distinguished place in the history of their race. I can scarcely think now of speaking of more than one or two of these, leaving the others, perhaps, for other rambling day*, and appreciative moods. Potsdam is. as you know, a little world of Historical and Biographical interest. The house where Lessing lived—one of the most cherished names in German literature—still stands in Berlin, where he wrote his ever American Misister Resident, on " Ohio Men in the Sasdwich Inlands." Something similar and verr readable might be written about " New York Men," « Massachusetts beautiful "Minna yon Barflhelni." UnforMen," " Connecticut Men" at the Sandwich in this volume. We commend the book both tunately, the house which Heinrich Heyne for public worship and private rending. occupied in the Taubtnstms«e, is no longer (stands. �TIIK FRIEND, NOVEMBER. 86 But the house of Hegel, the Philosopher, may be visited. Chamisso. that sweet poet and noble nature, lived with his wife (whom he so tenderly loved, and whom he found waiting for him, a girlbride, on his return from his long journey around the world) near the Botanical Garden, of which he had charge in one of the suburbs of the city—and I might still further lengthen the list. Let me, however, for this time, ask you to visit, with me, to be seen. MENDELSSOHN." One ot the sacred spots of Berlin is the quiet, shadowy cemetery where Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is buried. For those "THE GRAVE OF who have, in any slight degree, a taste for music, it would have a certain interest; but for those who have felt and feel, not alone in the stimulating atmosphere of the concert hall, but also in the quiet of their home-lite, in that inner world of personal heart-experience, the ennobling, elevating, purifying influence of this great master in the realm of music, it becomes, indeed, holy ground. Thisquaint, old-fashioned Trinity Cemetery, JJreifaitigkeifs Kirchhof, lies now almost in the midst of the great working, restless city. Only a few yeara ago it lay in the out-skirts of the capital, but since the coming in of the empire the city has marched with giant strides in all directions, so that points, which were once even in the memory of those who are still children, like distant out-posts in the desert of the Branderbourg sands, have been brought within the limits of civilization. So that this little grave yard, this resting-place of the " blessed dead," in the midst of the noise, business and turmoil, touches one with its tender hush and beauty, like the sight of a lifted cross by the dusty way-side, or the solemn melody of chimes at noon-time, floating far out above the roar and confusion of the street below. It is near one of the old "Gates" of the city that, looking in the direction of Halle, also by its now out-grown name, reminding one of the early history of the Prussian Capital. I scarcely think you would find the grave we are seeking alone, so hidden away under the drooping trees does it lie. The kindly old keeper of the cemetery led me to it one day, and since then, I think, few have learned the way to it better than I, so that I feel as it were a sort of tender right and privilege in bringing others there. There is nothing at all pretentious in the way of a monument to distinguish it from hundreds of other graves which lie on every side. It is in one ef the shadowest parts of the inclosure. Ash trees, wilh their long, drooping, graceful branches, encircle and shield it. Ivy, of most beautiful and luxuriant growth, has thrown a verdant mantle over the rising mound, with its never changing freshness in winter and summer, a fitting type of the fame of him who was laid away here to rest, when his life-work was ended. The white marble slab which stands at the head of the grave tells us much in a few plain words; its two sculptured dates, speaking so eloquently ! Dead, before he had, as it were, reached tbe prime of his manhood; his work completed, wh%n so many are realizing, for the first time, what the meaning of life and labor is; his epitaph written in letters which 1879. are never to fade at less than forty years of age ! Surely, those whom " the gods love, die young." Chopin died with a broken heart before he was forty. Euber had only reached that age. Schubert finished his melodious mission just as he was entering the thirties. Mozart's triumphant career was ended at thirty-five. I recall with especial distinctness, one visit I made in the early summer to the grave of Mendelssohn. It was just at the passing of the day into evening. The heavy rain clouds, which had gathered and gloomed through the dny, had broken in plentiful showers of rain. The sun had appeared again, in saving adieu, and the world stood transfigured in a blaze of diamonds. The cemetery was fragrant as a garden in spring; the moist and clinging vines, the verdant festoons and draperies of ivy, the opening roses, myrtles and violets, making a bright and pleasing picture. A German cemetery has a certain indescribable charm, particularly this one. where Mendelssohn sleeps. There is a quaint, hushed gentleness and thoughtfulness in the arrangements of the flowers and wreaths; a world of poetry in the inscriptions and texts on the stones among the flowers which mark the graves; in that spirit of love; in that anticipation of meeting and re-union which lights and glorifies the oft repeated Auf wieder sehenThe air of the twilight seemed suffused with peace; musical with the melody of some words," which might have " Song without risen from the quiet grave of the great musician.—At least it was a pleasing fancy to cherish, that the spirit of the master was with us still. THE MENDELSSOHN FAMILY. A thoughtful writer and appreciative lover of Mozart has said, " To open Mozart's letters is like opening a painted tomb." These words might, with equal appropriatness, be applied to a series of sketches which have very recently appeared in Germany in book form, under the title of " Dei Mendelssohn Fatnilei." These are made up largely of the letters of the family and extracts from their journals, and together form a whole of such rare and perfect beauty, a glimpse as it were into the very heart-life of one of the most remarkable and gifted families which Germany has ever produced, that it is scarcely to be wondered at that the book is one of the most popular of the year, especially in Berlin, where the family mostly lived. I wish it might be possible for me to give you something of an idea of the rharm, the wonderful fascination of these sketches, and yet this is so subtle, so inseparable a part of every page and chapter, that in endeavoring to do anything of the kind I should be forced in the end to transcribe for you the whole work. The name Mendelssohn is especially known outside of Germany through the illustrious musician and composer, of whom we have spoken above. Hut here he is but one, although perhaps the most famous of a race »o highly gifted, so splendidly endowed, that in rising from the perusal of these eloquent pages, I feel to join most warmly in that enthusiastic exclamation recently made by one who had read the book, A good Burger Familei" —in the fullest, grandest sense of the words, A right Princely Race f * " " The opening pages of these biographies takes us far back into the first part of the preceding century —to the well-known founder of the present family, the philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn, born in 1729. And what a record has this one member of the family left behind him ! Enough to wreath the name with unfading laurels. Coming in early youth to Berlin, well-nigh pennyless, born of a race hated, and condemned to walk through life the object of Christian scorn and ridicule, an outcast Jew, painfully deformed in person, and yet rising in time to the topmost heigths of philosophical attainment, heralded as a second Moses, sent to plead for his oppressed people from the land of their bitter bondage, the revered and tenderly loved friend of the wisest, and greatest and most honored men of his century. Surely, this is a metamorphosis, such as is rarely seen ! Moses Mendelssohn will always hold a unique position in history. He was one of the first and foremost in his efforts to raise his nice, sunk for centuries in an almost, apathetic ignorance, who were wanderers indeed on the face of the earth, from whom the so-called Christian race shrank as before the murderer's mark on the brow of a banished Cain. The Jews of our time owe to him more than to any one else the liberty which they to-day possess. He was the chosen friend of the great Lessing. His home, humble and plain, became the rallying point of great souls in those fierce intellectual conflicts which agitated Germany during the last century. He was the Socrates of his age. His treatise on The " Immortality of the Soul" will ever hold a plice among the Classics of Literature. The iustre which he imparted to the family name has been in no way dimmed in succeeding generations. One son of the Philosopher became the founder of the celebrated Mendelssohn Banking House, which still enjoys a European reputation. A daughter became the wife of Freiderick yon Schlegel, and was distinguished for her literary activity. A son of hers, by a previous marriage, Philip Veit, was a well-known name among the artists of Germany. A grandson of Moses, Alexander Mendelssohn Bertholdy, was the father of a distinguished family. His son, Felix, is known as one of the most illustrious musical composers of this country to all the world. His eldest daughter, Fanny, composer and pianist, was one of the most distinguished female musicians who has ever lived. She was married to William Hensel, ihe distinguished artist and painter, truly, a noble pair ! Still another daughter, Rebecca, who had the training of a lady of the Renaissance, reading Plato and Homer with ease in the original, had for husband Professor Dirichlet, one of the first mathematicians of modern times. These are the names of the most distinguished of the family. There are others who probably amid less brilliant surroundings would have attained to a distinguished name, as we have read of no one in the wide circle of relationship who was not possessed of superior mental endowments. It can readily be understood that a work which introduces one to the inner life of such a family group is absorbingly interesting. One moves in the choicest of company, that of the great spirits of the age, in the midst of intense intellectual and artistic �111 I: hRI X \ activity. Circumstances favored the growth iind development of the family. Wealth flowed in upon them, their social position was that of the highest, feted by all the crowned heads of Europe. Surely, the times had changed since Moses, the despised Jewish boy, speaking sad mixture of Hebrew and low German, entered Berlin for the first time ! But more beautiful than all else is the spirit of tenderest, most devoted love which animated these pages. The family bond was never broken, even through difference of religious creed. Some adhered to their Jewish faith and ritual; others became earnest Protestant Christians, notably Felix, to whom we owe some of the most splendid creations in the whole range of Christian music; and one member of the family became an ardent Roman Catholic. The scene shifts in these pages from one land to another. Wo have delightful letters, descriptive, humorous, tenderly loving from England, from France, from Switzerland, from Belgium, from Italy. What an unending picture opens before us ; We have spirited sketches drawn from life of Queen Victoria, Freiderick Wilhelm IV, Prince Albert, Goethe, Humboldt, Cornelius, Imniennann and Heine, Cherubini, and Spontini, Thorwaldsen, Vernet. and a host of others. We are behind the scenes. We meet the great actors of the day, off the stage, and learn to know them as men and women. We listen with bated breath to the production of some great musical work awaiting the world's verdict, whose composition we have followed step by step. We hear the tumult of applause, share in the showered laurels, and have a place in the little family circle which gathers with joyful tears and smiles, to rejoice together in the stillness of home. The Mendelssohn House formed one of the most famous centers of Berlin life; all that was distinguished in science or letters or music found here a place. But it is ever about the life and work of Felix that the interest of the reader especially centers. One of his biographers has said, "The early death of Mendelssohn like that of Raphael threw all Europe into mourning." As great as his musical genius was the wonderful beauty and purity of his personal character and life, engaging and attracting all who came at all within the range of his personal influence. This is especially illustrated in the " Letters " before us, those written by him to his father and mother, and sisters— especially that marvelously gifted sister Fanny. His life was a busy and splendidly prolific one; one which early ended, it is true, but perfectly rounded out. In England, he was especially loved; and his music is almost as well known abroad as at home. Among his most important works are the exquisite " Songs without words;" the music to the " Midsummer Night's Dream;" the orations of " Paulus and Elijah,'—two of the finest musical productions of any age; the music to " Antigone." It is with difficulty that I force myself to close my sketch of this remarkable family; so singularly have they fascinated me. Such lives are the glory of the human r«ce; a stimulus to all to aspire, more and more, to the "good, the true and the beautiful."

"Enjoying the favor of the King of Prussia, he was sent on various important missions'which enabled him to extend his investigations, net alone to Europe, but also as far »s Siberia, the Chinese Borderlands and other remote regions. Into these important stores of personal discovery and investigation, he threw the strong, clear light of ■ his own marvellous intellect, und the result was the most famous of his works, one of the most remarkable books of all time—the world celebrated Cosmos. It would be unwise here, within the limits of this brief sketch, to attempt anything like a description of his manifold contributions to literature and science. The whole universe furnished him materials for his work, as we, read the record of his life; he rises before us as a Titan intellect. He was celebrated as Philosopher, as Geographer, National Economist, Historian, Philologist; acquainted with the literature of every land—of the Old and New World, of the Occident and Orient; one who, as has been well said, was to his age what Aristotle and Leibnitz were to theirs. He lived to a ripe old age, retaining in advanced years a singularly brilliant and active intellectual life. For years he was one of the celebrities of the Prussian Capital, whom it was regarded as an especial honor to see. The picture of his genial, smiling and benevolent face, is still fresh in the memory of the Berliners. The hpuse where he lived in the Oranienburger-Strasse, where he lived for so many years, surrounded byhis books, and in the company of his own great thoughts, is now marked by a simple marble slab with his name. After the long journeys of his early manhood and the herculean intellectual efforts of his later life, his body rests side by side with that of his brother in the hush and seclusion of Tegel, while over them both the solemn cypresses keep watch and ward. These great souls have passed within that mystery where no human eye can penetrate, but where we may hope that they have entered upon the fullness of that Eternal Life, for which their earthly years were but the preparation.

We hastened to place them in a vase of water, and the following morning they were fresh and beautiful. We opened our doors and looked out upon a bright world of beauty, made so by an abundance of trees, vines, ferns, shrubbery and flowers—all created by the Hand of an Unseen Friend. A morning shower added fresh loveliness to the bright aspect of surrounding nature, for myriads of sparkling rain-drops glistened like diamonds among the leaves and foliage.

A Life Worth Living Memohials of Emily Bliss Gould, of Rome. By Leonard Woolsey Bacon. New York: Anson D. F. Randolph & Co., 900, Broadway. On opening a box of books from the publishers of this volume, we found several new books intended for the Editor. Among them we find the beautiful tribute of Rev. Dr. Bacon, now of Norwich, Ct„ and formerly of Geneva, Switzerland, to the memory of Mrs. Gould, whose labors among the orphan children of Rome have rendered her name dear to all friends of humanity in Europe and America. Long has the reading public been made familiar with her work by means of her admirable letters as published in the N. Y. Observer and other papers. This volume is a most charming sketch of her life, penned by Dr. Bacon in his happiest moments of authorship, inspired by the contemplation of the life of a truly noble Christian woman. Attached to the volume is a striking photograph of the lady, which presents us a most dignified and winning countenance.

The following fable, by one of the Beecher family—Charles—we think, is very suggestive, which we copy from the Advance : " Many years ago a great Eastern philosopher made a large mirror, in a beautiful frame, and hung it up in his parlor. A dog went before it, and ruffled up his hair, growled and showed his teeth. The cat came in, and immediately went and looked behind to find the other cat. A simpleton came in, and seeing the mirror, began to congratulate the artist on his good luck. ■ What a happy accident!' said he. ' Now you can see how you look, and can shave without cutting your face.' ' Friend,' said the artist, 'it was not an accident. It was to see my face in it that I made it.'

Koutledge & Sons, and Anson D. F. Eandolph & Co. 1879. Some years ago we read " Memorials of a Quiet Life," by the same author. That volume introduced the reader to a most choice circle ol Christians in the clerical and higher walks of English society. The volume now under review is substantially the same kind of a book, but the range of characters noticed introduces the reader to a still wider circle of the very choicest European Christian society. The life of Baroness Bunsen was spent in Wales, England, Italy, Germany and Switzerland Her companions were Emperors, Kings, ambassadors and literary men and women who irToved in the very highest circle of European society. She was the honored guest of Queen Victoria and the Emperor of Germany. Her husband was the renowned historian and Egyptian scholar, the Ambassador of Germany at Borne and in Lsmlon. It is not to the public career of this noble KU I KM), NOVEMBER, thrsugh the thousand pages of this volume it is most instructive to trace out the various links connecting families in England and Germany. Did our limits allow, we could add much in commending this volume to the perusal of the public. Her range of reading was extensive, and her criticisms upon literary and theological books eminently thoughtful and practical. She closes a notice of Buckle's book on !' Civilization," wherein he endeavors, from a wide range of historical research, lo establish the principle of atheism, with this paragraph from page 399 : " The reply to nil attempts to stigmatize the religion of Christ as the cause of evil is unanswerable, as the fact is and remains, that the faith which causes sin and misery is not the faith of Christ, but a system falsely so called, which the greatest foes of the Gospel cannot deny, if ever they can be brought to comprehend what is the Gospel and what the error of man presuming to interpret the word of God." On the 24th of May, 1870, she thus writes one of her sons—on page 410—referring to the unseen world, to which her husband had taken his departure : " In the regions to which your dear father has attained there is fulness of joy. fulness of work, fulness of object, forthe fitted faculties, and the contributions of earth, however precious here, would have the flavor of sorrow, even if they could reach the abode of blessedness. And yet there are two stanzas of a hymn which I found written out in Theodora's hand—l know not whence copied —which strike my feelings with the melody of truth : 1879.

It is with feelings of sadness thst we have of one of osr most valued members, William F. Damon. —Born in Honolulu, Funahou early claimed him as a pupil; and here the greater part of his to record the death education was received. Five years ago he went to Minneapolis, and there, for a year, attended a Mercantile College. The year following he spent as a member of the Massachusetts Agricultural College nt Amherst, and the love and respect of his associates, at both these institutions, .followed him when he returned to his home here in Honelulu. For tho past three years office duties, in the employ of E. 0. Hall & Son, occupied his attention till his late sickness removed him from our midst. The record of his life is brief, but the length of the invisible record, God alone can estimate. Our Treasurer has left us; but when we remember the looks of sadness, the tears, not alone of sympathy, but of sorrow also, at his loss, on the part of all classes in this community, the loving influence of his grand, Christian manhood is plainly manifest. How forcibly did the words of Christ's minister, at the burial service, come home to us. We can but echo the thought: Why was one so good taken ? The answer comes: From earth's true nobility are chosen the honored in heaven. We wish to call attention to our advertisement in this issue, and particularly to that part ol it relating to the Employment Comrnitlee. The need of such a Committee is surely evident. While so many young men arc continually coming to Honolulu, and tho greatest port of them seeking employment, the want is clearly felt by those interested. The object of the Association being to do good in every practicable way which is brought to its notice in this respect, it has seemed a good thing to aid, as far as possible, strangers coming to our city.

A., leading to an all-engrossing discussion upon Unjust Taxation as a possible germ of communism here in our own fair islands. Monopolies were also spoken of as an impending evil, tending to draw a barrier and shutting off the poorer ol mankind from the free exercise of their rights and destroying that balance of power wherein alone, it senms, liberty is secured to all. Among those that entered into the various branches of this discussion, we would mention the names of' Dr. C. M. Hyde, S. N. Emerson, Rev. S. E. Bishop and C. J. Lyons. _The subject of Unjust Taxation will be continued on at the next meeting of the Y. M. C.

Intelligence has been received of the death at Jerusalem, of the missionary Bishop Gobat, of the church of England. In early life he went on a mission to Abyssinia, and was afterward sent to Palestine, where he became bishop in 1846 He was a man nf decidedly evangelical principles, earnest in spirit and laboriously engaged in the work of missions. A German by birth, he was appointed on the nomination of the present Emperor of Germany, the naming of the bishop belonging alternately to the Emperor of Germany and the Queen of England.— N~. Y. Observer. Thrice Golden Wedding.—The fiftieth marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Francis Adams occurred last week. It is an interesting and very unusual fact that three golden weddings of successive generations of'the same family should have been observed in the same house. That of President John Adams and his wife was celebrated on the 25th of October, 1814. That of their son, President John Quincy Adams and his wife, on the 26th of July, 1847. The third has just taken place. It will be noticed that the intervals between these occasions were respectively thirty-three and thirty-two years—almost exactly the lifetime of a generation. At the time of their golden weddings, President John Adams was seventy-nine, and President J. Q Adams had just entered his eightieth year. Mr. Adams is seventy-two.— American Exchange. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The publisher tenders his special acknowledgments to those who have continued their subscriptions during the entire period of the publication of the paper, as well to all who have more recently commenced their subscriptions. As years pass and the whaleships have diminished, an important source of aid has been withdrawn, hence we hope the readers and subscribers of our little sheet will promptly pay when their bills are presented, and if any are disposed to "donate " a few dollars for gratuitous circulation of the papers, their favors will be appreciated by the publisher. It has been a rule from which we have not deviated for nearly fortyyears, to furnish all ships, seamen and strangers gratuitously, trusting that in some way our paper would be supported. List of U.

We have seen how for ages it has been at war with man, who seems to have gained an almost superhuman strength and courage through his long contest with the ever-threatening sea. He has never yielded. If the waves threatened to engulph him, he has remained faithful to the last. From father to son has this warfare with the sea been passed onward as an unending heritage. 1 can conceive of scarcely a more sublime study for the genius of a painter than this. Michael Angelo alone might have represented it. The solitary figure of a man of heroic stature, alone in an endless storm, facing a wild sea of tawny foam. The green, fierce, hissing waters at times break upon his breast, rising like a cliff amid the waves; they wash, in theirrestless march, the sands from beneath his feet, but he clings to the rocks till the foothold is regained. It is a struggle for life ! The suns and rains of ages have beat upon that earnest, glorious face. The muscles have giown strong and rig.d as iron. The winds lift the yellow, flaxen hair, which gleams like a sunbeam against tbe blackening skies; the grert blue eyes gaze undaunted over the tempest of the waves, and grow more brave, more earnest, more beautiful as the conflict grows more terrible. One may indeed feel it to be a privilege to breathe the air, which has been the life and inspiration of the giants of these northern shores, whose marvelous and untireing struggles with the sea is one of the wonders ot history. DIE DEUTSCHE SEE-RETTUNGS GESELLSCHAFT, or Society for the Preservation of Life in case of shipwreck, is one of the most interesting and important of German organizations. Some hundred years ago, at the time when the first Eddystone Light House on the British Coast was in process of erection, there chanced to be war between England and France. A boat load of English workmen, engaged upon the structure of the light house, were tat. en prisoners by a French cruiser. They were however immediately sent back to their work by the French Monarch with much ceremony, and with the word that the war he was waging, was with the King of England, and not with mankind. As one catches here ana there the gleam of the faithful lights from the many noble towers which now skirt the shores of these northern waters, and as one "reads the records of the heroic efforts constantly made with the life-boats to bring rescue to those struggling for life amid the waves, no matter of what nationality, one realizes that there is a brotherhood of sympathy which can rise superior to all the distinctions of blood and race, and national jealousy. The German Ocean is one of the stormiest in the world, and thousands of noble vessels have gone down beneath these angry waters. In 1860 arose an organization in Germany to provide, so far as possible, means of rescue in case of shipwreck. The funds are mainly obtained from private sources oil over the empire. All along the coast there are stations with men and life boats, and the ar- �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, rangements are as perfect as possible under the circumstances. Over and over again, during the brief history of the Society, have those who have in any Why contributed to its support, had reason to rejoice at the good work it has done. May this still go forward a source of hope and consolation to all those who are called to face the wintry storms of this most tempestuous sea ! EAST FRISIA AND ITS PEOPLE. A people born for freedom are the Frisians, and to this hardy, great-hearted people of this bleak northern coast, is the world to-day indebted for the preservation of the noblest of human rights, liberty of thought and action. Their grand watch-word rings like a clarion-blast down the centuries : The Frisian shall be free so long as the "wind blows out of the clouds and the world stands !" To which one seems to hear from their descendants, whether here by the restless surge of the North Sea, or in the neighboring British Isles, or in the distant Continent of America, from Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate, the response of a fervent East Frisia is a portion of that •' Amen !" vast plain which extends from the extremity of Jutland to the mouth of the Scheldt. It is a little corner of the earth to-day, exerting but little influence and interesting but few; but for those few it has a remarkable fascination and attraction. The population to-day numbers something like 200,000, living in five or six considerable towns and numerous villages, or scattered in little settlements along the coast. To a remarkable degree have the East Frisians preserved their old and simple life. The dreariness of much of the land, its isolated situation, its not very especial political importance, have all had an influence in keeping the race free from " modernizing" influences, and this renders a study of the people exceedingly interesting. Their long struggle of centuries with the ocean, their indomitable energy in over-coming the difficulties of their situation, the stillness and quiet of their lives far away from the noise and din of the great world, has left its traces on heart as well as body. They are still an earnest, noble, simple folk, true and brave and loyal to their Heavenly and Earthly Heads, and in this pure loyality, still free as the wind blowing out of the clouds. THE ISLAND OF NORDENEY has come of late years to be the favorite seaside resort ot Germany. As I mentioned above it is one of the chain of the East Frisian Islands, bordering the main land. It is at low tide, in fact joined to the coast by a long sandy tract called the " Watt," hidden by the waves at flood. For the accommodation and amusement of the thousands of summer visitors—hundreds of buildings have Sprung up on the sands where once stood the little humble fishing village, and to-day it presents a charming picture as you approach it from the sea, or wander through its quaint winding streets. There are spacio-s hotels and pleasure grounds, groves and gardens. The fisher-folk vie with each other in making their cottages pleasant and inviting, and they are of immaculate cleanliness. Like a bit of fairy-land seems this little summery garden, with its flowers and trees, and gaily colored flags, in comparison with the dreary reaches of the " dunes." 1879. 95 Everything is done, in the power of the knitting, nnd young Germany with books management, to interest and amuse the from the " library," can enjoy the sands and numerous guests.

This is a most important State Document, while much credit is due the two governments becoming parties to this Treaty, yet it is undoubtedly the result of no little jealousy then existing between them. The events of 1843, as they occurred in Hawaiian History, are among the most vivid impressions on the tablets of our memory. Distinctly and vividly we can recall the actors of those days as mentioned in the letter of Mr. M. No day can we recall with more distinctness than the 25thof Feb. 1843, when Kamehameha 111. made a cession of these islands to the Queen of England, but under a solemn protest. It was on that day that we came near being " under fire." We locked our dwelling house and left for shelter on board the U. S. S. Boston. The guns of the Carysford were loaded, and we expected the town would have been fired upon. On our way to the harbor, the announcement was made that the islands were ceded to England. Then itfcvas that His Majesty made the celebrated Proclamation which contained the famous clause, which has become the National Motto, and is now chiseled in stone on the Government House. The Proclamation reads as follows : Where sre you, chiefs, people and commons from my ancestors, snd people from foreign l.nds ! Hear ye '.

Our acquaintance with this strange African Kingdom, about which the papers have had so much to say, commenced more than forty years ago, when American Missionaries were first sent to that part of Africa. Two well educated and accomplished ladies, from our native place, Holden, Mass., went thither as Missionaries. From one of them, Mrs. Grout, sister of E. Bailey. Esq., on Maui, we have just received a letter, from which we quote as follows : " Springfield, Mass., Sept. 23d.—Ceta- wayo has been caught. We are not sorry to have the English govern the Zulus, rather than that wicked King. A part of our missionary life was spent in fte Zulu country when Umpandi, the father of Cetawayo, was King; and we remember this son as a boy, perhaps fourteen or fifteen years old. We believe that now the Gospel will have free course there." It was our privilege to have been personally acquainted with the Rev. Messrs. Grout and Champion, and their wives, who formed the first mission sent out by the American Board to the Zulus. In those days it was a far different journey, by ses and land, to the Zulu country, from what it is at present. A Long Felt Want to be Supplied. IN COURSE OF FRRPARATIOV appear, NOW urn.

It affords me the greatest pleasure to record that they are all deeply and unaffectedly religious, and their devoted loyalty to our Most Gracious Queen knows no bounds, this was testified to in a manner equally impressing as pleasing by their behavior at the landing and subsequent opening of an American organ, which we had conveyed to them as a present from the Queen. The greatest part of the population came down to witness its arrival and watched with the most intense anxiety its passage through the surf, and immediately the boat was through, willing hands hauled her quickly up high and dry, and soon the organ was being borne in triumph up the hill to the church. I ought here to remark that this building is kept both clean and neat. As soon as possible the outer case was torn off, and the first air played in Pitcairn on Her Majesty's gift was "God save the Queen,"'all the inhabitants joining in the hymn with a fervor and enthusiasm that left no doubt as to their earnestness; they tried hard to condense their thanks to theQueen into writing, but 1 fancy nothing could show their gratitude more than the hearty way in which they sang our National hymn. To sum up the character of these people, it may be said of them that they are fairly industrious and well educated; that apparently they live in a state of the most perfect harmony, the whole population (93) appearing as one large happy family, all working for the common good; that they are all imbued wilh a deeply religious feeling. It is very confusing to discover who you are talking loon the Island, as there are only five family names amongst all the people, consequently to avoid the confusion caused by there being about seven Mr. Youngs and five or six Mr. Christians, they are assuming surnames, thus one of the Christians has taken unto himself the name of Downes, and is bringing up a family under that cognomen, and one of the Youngs calls himself Selwyn; if this style of things continues it will be difficult, in n few generations, to trace the people's connection with the original Bounty mutineers. With regard to the A*Afric:n>, Peter Butler, who is spoken of in .Winirnl dc Horsey's report as a "doubtful acquisition," the Islanders gave a very good account of him, stating that he always behaved ns one of them, and the two oldost men on the Island told me they had no fault to find with him, however, some little time ago he left the place in a schooner trading to Samoa, in company with two of the Pitcairners, they have since returned, but at the tune of our visit he was still away. His wife believes that he will return, but the rest of the paople appear to think otherwise. I may also add that one of the people asked me if Father Damon of Honolulu was yet alive, with this I will conclude my des- cription of Pitcairn. Charles H. A. Ward, 11. M.

We would merely add, tbat Professor Alexander is a good illustration of the remark, that, one brings away from a land through which he travels, in proportion to what he takes with him! Dean Stanley writes most intelligently upon Palestine, but he says, " I read every page and even the foot-notes of Robinson's three octavo volumes on Palestine," besides many other books of history and travels. " The breaking waves dashed high On a stern and rockbound coast. And the woods agaluHt a stormy sky Their giant branches tossed." The sermon by Rev. Dr. Damon was somewhat out of the beaten track of the ordinary thanksgiving discourse. Taking his text from Luke 6:3B—"Give, and it shall be given unto you," tbe speaker proceeded to give ao exceedingly able and interesting dissertation on Reciprocity, as exemplified in tbe present times throughout tbe world. First, in Commerce; second, in Science; third, in Literature; and fourth, in Christianity. It will readily be seen, that the materials in any one of these subdivisions are ample for a discourse in itself, and consequently only a brief but comprehensive review of eacb was made. Towards tbe close, the Reverend apeaker alluded somewhat fully to the " Chinese question," which bas attracted of late so much attention in the East and California. While it is a question in some minds whether tbe Chinese invasion, with which these Islands are now threatened, is a legitimate cause for thanksgiving, or constitutes a fitting subject for fasting and prayer,—we all know the rosy hue it assumes in tbe eyes of a few among us, prominent among wbom is tbe always enthusiastic and genial preacher of our Thanksgiving sermon. Aside from tbe more than oontented reference to tbe prospective influx of Chinese, tbe discourse was an excellent one, which we should like to see printed. At tbe conclusion of tbe sermon, the grand anthem, so familiar to every patriotic American— What is to be Done with Oar New Immigrants? Some days ago a good Christian brother and friend of humanity came to the Editor of the Friend, with the following communication. He expressed the wish that the Friend would call the attention of the Christian community to the subject of doing something for the evangelization of the Chinese. This is just what " the Friend proper" and"the Friend, Y. M. C. A.," have been endeavoring to do for years. In addition to what is now being done, this would seem to be demanded, to obtain as soon as possible a missionary to labor among the Chinese and direct colpqrtage, who understands the Chinese language. The Christian and Chinese communities need to be brought into greater sympathy and to understand each other better, by a free interchange of thought and opinion. For the Friend. What is to be done with our new immi" grants? This is the great question of the day, both religiously and politically. That they are to form the great bulk of our future population there can be no doubt. What they have been at the homes they have left and what they may be in their adopted homes here, will depend on circumstances. Having been brought up in their own country under the parental restraints taught by Confucius, they have continued to be from age to age a moral people, but with a few exceptions they are a heathen people. They have no respect for the Sabbath and no knowledge of Christianity. " Now comes the question, what is to be the effect of such a large influx of heathenism on these islands, where Christianity has been so recently established ? Which way is the tide of influence to turn? If Christians here can bring the power ofreligion to bear upon them so ns to influence them in the right direction, all will be well. If not, what is to. become of our Sabbath and our H. D. religious institutions ? Remains of Gigantic Animals Discovered in Ice.—Russian geologists are making preparations to promote the further discovery* of congealed remains of mammoth animals in Siberia. It is stated that during the last two centuries at least 20,000 mammoths, and probably twice or thrice that number have been washed out of the ice and soil in which they were imbedded, by the action of spring floods. The tusks have only been preserved for the;r commercial value as ivory.

(Page 396.) May not this principle be deemed a suitable theme for a Thanksgiving discourse on an occa- ' sion when the pleasant memories of an American Thanksgiving blend and mingle with reminiscences of Hawaiian Independence. We meet as Auiericuns, yet on Hawaiian soil, and under the protection of a government invigorated, strengthened and fostered by the underlying and overshadowing influences of the Urcut Republic. My object will now be to speak upon — years this vast field of enterprise and commeiciul venture has been enlarging until now. God is employing the commerce of the globe as one of the potent agencies fur bringing the nations of tho earth into lellowship.

This writer then proceeds to show how the great Fenelon illustrated this idea in his "Telemacbus," while Mr. Wells, the American political economist, does the same in relerence to Adnua Smith, the author of The Wealth of Nations." The U. S. Government, in negotiating this treaty with the Hawaiian Islands, has manifested a generosity and nobleness which is not to be without its happy influences upon other nations. Other treaties of reciprocity will follow. Among the recent items of intelligence from Japan, I The have read the following newspaper report new treaty between the United States and Japan was signed July 251h, and is kept secret. This treaty is understood to confer reciprocal commercial advantages, from which all other nations are excluded, except on condition of accepting the mutual obligations." It is well known tbat England and Germany are now pressing the Japanese Government upon points really involving the independence of the Empire, while the United States Government is upholding that Empire, as it did Hawaiian independence when European nations would have blotted it out of " :" existence. I cannot refrain from here refering to the most signal manner in which Hawaiian national independence was preserved and secured. Most nobly did Richards, Judd, Ricord, Lee, Allen, and specially R. U. Wyllie, stand up (or Hawaiian independence. The long and successful ministerial career of Mr. Wyllio is quite noteworthy. The stern Scotchman would not flinch or give way one iota when the King's prerogative was in- fringed upon. He never would have allowed His Majesty to have signed such a treaty as has just been negotiated between the Samoan Islands und England. It is well for us that we have no Consular Courts. In ihe recent treaty negotiated by our Minister, the Hon. Mr. Carter, between the German Empire and tile Hawaiian Kingdom, there are no clauses compromising or humiliating the King's sovereignty. Treaties of amity and reciprocity, when bused upon sound principles, tend to strengthen and establish a nation's independence. The leading principle for which Mr. Wyllie so resolutely and astutely contended during nearly a quarter of a century, was this: The Huwaiian Kingdom, though small, should be treated as an independent nation, and its King as an independent sovereign. Happily he lived to see this principle established and acknowledged by America and European nations ; hence, when His Majesty negotiated the Reciprocity Treaty with the United States Government, other nations bad nothing to say so long as treaties with those countries were not infringed. The 28th ol November, 1813, may be observed as tbe date ol Hawaiian independence, but it was many a long year belore the Island-Kingdom was treated as fully independent. On that day, however, it was that England and France did " engage reciprocally to consider the Sandwich Islands an independent State." Science. —Internationalreciprocity in mat- t. relating to science is a most interesting subject of oonteniplati jii. II in some astronomical observatory in Europe tho discovery of a new planet is made, the fact is immediately telegraphed to all the oilier observatories of the globe. When any important discovery is made in the science of chemistry, or geology, botany, or mineralogy, the whole scientific world is made acquainted with the facts, and soon the reading public enjoy the publicity. How rapidly the marvelous discoveries of Edison have been published throughout the world. Advances in every department of science are published and republished until they become familiar to the friends of science in nil lands. It is a most interesting fact that in times of war among nations, the stern and bloody rules of belligerents sometimes yield to the mandates of science. When Nupoleon was at the height of his power and all Englishmen were prohibited from travelling on the continent of Europe at the peril of urrcst and imprisonment, an exception was made in fuvor of one man—a man of science —Sir Humphrey Davy, the chemist and discoverer ol the miner's safety lamp. Perhaps the following example is still more n.tcworthy During the Revolutionary war, when the Americans were battling for their independence, Dr. Franklin, the American Plenipotentiary Ambassador at the Court of Fiance, forbade American privateers molesting any of the squudron of ships under Cuptuiu Cook's command in hie scientific voyage around tho globe. Fiance and Spain are reported lo have imposed a similar interdict upon their cruisers. Iv acknowledgment of Franklin's magnanimity, the British Admiralty, in tbe name of the King, presented Dr. Franklin with o copy of Cook's Voyages and a gold medal. One more most striking illustration of this point: Some hundred years ago, when France and Englund were ut war, and while tbe first Eddystone lighthouse was in process of erection, a boat's crew of English workmen were taken prisoners. They were immediately sent back by the French monarch, with the laconic message that ho was waging war with the King of England, not with : mankind. It was no ordinary compliment which Agassis paid to the scientific and liberal views of America when he left the Old World and east io his lot among the inhabitants of the New World. Huving been sent to America by tbe Prussian Government to execute a scientific commission, he met with such kindness nnd liberality, especially among the promoters of the coast survey, that afterwards no templing offers from any European court, university or scientific society could tempt him to return and relinquish his borne in America. He wm " enabled to push his ■scientific researches on all shores from Maine to Texas, as well as along the Pacific. It bore him up the Amazon and around Cape Horn." For years he employed Mr. Garrett to collect specimens of natural history in our island waters, and was better acquainted with the fish in our ocean than any other living scientist. The history of efforts to explore the cold regions surrounding the North Pole, and the recent astronomical observations relating to the transit of Venus, indicate the incalculable benefits of international reciprocity in scientific matters. But in no department may this subject be seen in a more favorable light than in that series of International Expositions, commencing with that of England in 1851, under the patronage ol the Prince Consort, and followed by the Expositions 1879. of France, Austria, and America's grand Centennial, and to be succeeded by others in' Europe, Australia and Japan. The influence and results of these exhibitions of skill in manufactures and displays of scientific research are something absolutely wonderlul. They arc revolutionising the world of art, mechanics and science. Scientific and useful knowledge is thereby spreading all over the habitable globe, even penetrating the old and conservative nations of China, Slam, India and Japan. What is more remarkable, the dark continent of Africa in receiving a portion of these rays of scientific light. From tho report of Dr. Means at the late meeting of the American Board of Missions, held last month in Syracuse, N. V., we learn that not less than a half-score of scientific societies in Europe are pushing their researches on the continent of Africa. Ono French journal remarks that •• the Alricun question preoccupies all minds," while the same journal quotes the remark of " one of tho greatest poets of the world" : " In tbe nineteenth century tbe white man has made a man out of the black ; in the twentieth century Lurope will make a world out of Africa." Adds Dr. Means " Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, all have their parties of scientific explorers penetrating the vast unknown, while commercial companies are organizing for manufacturing, for traffic, and for communication by canals, railroads, telegraph lines, steamboats and elephant trains." Africa —that stronghold of ignorance, heathenism and savagery—is now being attacked in the north, eaßt, south and west. Both scientific men and missionaries arc resolutely determined to storm this citadel of ignorance, superstition and slavery. In the grand assault many noble men may fall, but the command has been given to close up and push forward. The news conies that the noble Mullens, of the London Missionary Society, has fallen while penetrating to the interior, but other missionaries and explorers will follow in the footsteps of Livingstone, Stanley and tbeir compeers. The world is now just beginning to witness the grand results growing out of Livingstone's toils and labors. What a noble career, nnd how sublimely it terminated. Penetrating ns far as his tailing strength will allow, he kneels alone and dies—for his body was actually found in that position! His remains are rudely but carefully embalmed by his faiihlul and devoted servants, and borno more than a thousand miles on their shoulders, through jungles and morasses, over the hills and rivers of Africa, to Zanzibar, from thence to be conveyed to England, where they were finally taken to Westminster Abbey, there to receive the highest honors which could he paid to them. What a life! What a death! What u burial ! Science and Christianity may well clasp hands over the earthly remains of the noble explorer and humble missionary ! : HI. Literature. —Reciprocity in literature among different nationalities is a most delightful subject for review. Our thoughts are elevated above material interests, and we are invited to witness the action and reaction of mental aspirations in the realm of genius. A book of genius— Uncle Tom's Cabin," for example—is published, and in a very few months it is translated and published in perhapei twenty different languages, " �THE r IM ¥. \ I).

Christiamtv.—ln its nature and principles Christianity implies reciprocity among all dwelling upon the earth. The Apostle Paul dashed forth with a bold stroke when he said, " There is neither Greek nor Jew, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free but Christ is all and in all." The Gospel was to he preached among all nations. It was among the hardest efforts for the disciples of Christ to learn tbis lesson. As centuries havo rolled away, these principles have become more apparent. Our century presents the sublime spectacle of the Church universal being engaged in a noblo crusade to evangelise the heathen world. The barriers of nations have been crossed. There is no longer a moral Chinese wall. Mie- mote Kingdom." Here is international reciprocity of the best description. TIIE CHINESE 103 1879. QUESTION In the onward march of these principles and spread of Gospel ideas, I am not ignorant of the national conflicts which arise and of the race animosities engendered. This conflict of race prejudices is before our eyes. A discussion of the subject is sharply presented in the newspapers ol America and those of our Islands. Every mail brings news relating to the conflict among political leaders, and even Christian editors, upon this subject. The gravity of the discussion I would not overlook or the mighty issue-) ignore. Not a few, even among good Christian citizens, follow in the wake of a demagogue who has uttered the party cry and watchword, " The Chinese must go." This is ndt a new cry. It was not heard for the first time on the sand hills ofSun Francisco. Less than forty yearsago it was heard on the opposite shores of the Pacific, in China, •' Englishmen must go those foreign devils." Kearney's shriek is but a faint and feeble echo of the" Heathen Chinee." May it not be useful to enquire bow the issue was there met? Did the Englishman go? Why not 7 Was his presence any less offensive to the people of China than that of the Chinese to the people of America? The opium war followed, and in August, 1842, peace was restored ; but China was compelled lo pay $21,000,000—including $12,000,000 ns war expenses, $3,000,000 to injured English merchants, and $6,000,000 lor opium destroyed. Hongkong becomes an English colony. America looks on approvingly, nnd illustrating, perhaps, the old fable of" pulling the chestnuts out of the fire." Ucr states- — men—Webster,.!. Q. Adams, and Alexander 11. ICverett—took the ground that China had no right, according to the law of nations, to isolate herself, hut must enter the sisterhood or civilized nations. Caleb dishing goes ns the American Minister to China, nnd is succeeded by Mr. Everett. Tbe Chinese are mnde to understand that they must trent with outside barbarians." " and must repudiate the doctrine now so speciously advocated by some, that every nation had the right to protect itself by exoluding immigrants seeking a domicile in a quiet and peaceful manner. The question arises, Shall the policy of tho statesmen and diplomatists of England and America be now repudiated. Imagine not that the end has come. Dragon's teeth which war has sown in China may produce a harvest of armed men. An educated and intelligent Chinese geutlemun, residing in London, writing for that leading English periodical, Fraser's Magazine, only two years ago, thus expresses his views " Depend upon it, as soon as China thinks herself in a position to carry out her wishes, she will at once repudiate the clause legalizing the traffic in opium ; nnd if England asks why she does so, she will answer that the mural sensivof her whole nation requires it, and that justice, humanity and righteousness demand it. If England should then declare another wnr against her in support of the wicked cause, sho will refer the matter to the impartial judgment of the world—tbe United States und the great Powers ol Europe—rather than subnrt to tho stipulations of a treaty, the terms of which were dictated and almost extorted after a most disastrous wnr, and the effect of which has been the ruin of her subjects." Is this subject at rest. Is it forgotten ? Only a few weeks ago, nt the meeting of the International Evangelical Alliance held in Basic, Switzerland, where were assembled the leading laymen and divines of Europe and America, the world-wide and renowned Professor Christlieb, ot Binn, Germany, brought forward tho opium question, und the following resolution was adopted unanimously, the whole assembly rising to make more emphatic their condemnation of this immoral traffic: "The assembly holds that the interest of Christianity itself urgently demands that there should be a change in the policy hitherto pursued by the English Government in : regard to the opium trnde, and commissions its officers to lay this resolution before the Secretary of State for India." A Scottish missionary. Rev. Mr. Shoolbred, returning from India, thus addresses an assembly of his countiymen. In speaking of the efforts of the English in hehull of those suffering from the famine, he remarks " I am sorry to say that by their opium traffic they are counteracting their own measures and doing much to intensity the terrible famine evils which they desire to avert. It is high time, I think, that the enlightened : public opinion of Christian Britain should rise up and demand tbe suppression of tbis infamous traffic; and I deem no apology necessary for bringing the subject before this large and influential assembly ofthe Christian people of Scotland." I have discussed this subject because in its ultimate bearing and decision our Island Kingdom is most intimately concerned. There must �104 IHE FRIEND. DECEMBER. be commerce und reciprocity mining nations, but upon whnt principle ? Those ol low, selfish and merely pecuniary greed, or that noble principle of doing unto others us you would have others do unlo you ? It was upon this latter principle that, I believe, was negotiated what is known in the history of diplomacy as tbe Burlingumc Treaty between the United States and China. That treaty for a season met with much opposition in China, England, France and Germany; but few diplomatists ever so effectually succeeded in disarming all opposition as did Mr. Burlingmne. Listen to the brief address of Ixnd Stanley, when presenting Mr. Borlingame and the members of the Chinese Embassy to Queen Victoria, at a lunch given nt It is true a certain degree of Windsor Cusllc in the real object of the originating opposition, Chinese mission, coupled with a desire to adhere to old traditional British coercion policy, met Mr. Burlingnme n his nrrivul in England, but this has nil passed away. Mr. Burlingume, by his dignified course, and feeling the grnndcur and importance of the high trust confided to his care, has conducted himself in such a manner as to completely disarm opposition and create a favorable impression, not only for China, but for the United States ; for, while acting as the representative of China, his dignified bearing and progressive ideas have exhibited hiin as a true type of the representative American." I am not aware that any American ever received a higher compliment from a British statesman at the Cuurt of St. James. I do not forget Mr. Burlingamo's visit to Honolulu, and the convincing manner in which I heard him unfold, in clear nnd lucid style, the great object of his visit to America and Europe. He was u bom diplomat ol the noblest :" < type. 1 would now ask, Is England, is China, is America to recede from the fundamental principles of that treaty ? No. Articles of that treaty may be modified, hut the full gist and substance of that treaty will remain. It forms an important epoch in treaty ncgotinions between Ihe Occident and the Orient. In its essential features it was a treaty of reciprocity, based on the principle of my text, " (iivc, and it shall be given unto you." The principle of the Golden Rule was also recognized. It forms the basis of all good statesmanship tbe world over. The leaven is gradually permeating other Oriental nations. President Grunt's visit to Japan and elsewhere is not to prove barren of important re. suits. While he was sojourning in China and Japan, matters of grave importance were under discussion. Perhaps this somewhat lengthy discussion or international reciprocity would more appropriately follow iban precede a Thanksgiving dinner. There is an impression that the descendants of the Puritans have somewhat degenerated and are not what tbeir fathers were. This is doubtless truo when tested by our ability to listen before dinner patiently and submissively to the long two-hours sermons or the clergy. But bear with me a moment longer, and I will close. Has not honorable reciprocity always been one of the traditions of the American people? Because England would not grant to the colonists representation in Parliament when taxes were imposed, 18. ». they declared war and asserted their independence. During tbe past century the same idea has been carried out, until (iermany finally yicldod the point in regard to the rights of citizenship, when England ulso submitted. Shall America now go back on her principles in negotiating with China? It hardly seeius possible. President Hayes, by his timely and prompt veto of hasty and ill-digested measures in Congress, relating to the ISurlingamo Treaty, saved the United Stales Irom the disgrace of becoming a Treatyviolating Power auiong the Nations, 110 merits thereby tho thanks of all the friends of America, ut home and abroad. Has not the time hilly sion relating to the future of Hawaii Islands. Not only is the future ol our Islund Kingdom identified with the fortunes of the Great Republic on our east, but also with the destiny ol tbat greatest of earthly empires on our west, so far as population is concerned. 'Ihe question arises Would not the perpetuity of Hawaiian rule he more secure with a few thousands of immigrants from the hitler country, coining with their simple habits and agricultural propensities and obedience to law, inherited Irom u remote antiquity, and non-political aspirations, rather than with an equal number coming Irom the opposite shores with their reckless habits and desires for speedy fortunes? But I must close. You who believe iv the Bible, in Providence, in missions to a heathen people, now is your golden opportunity come when the civilized nations of the earth to fall into line nnd march forward with the luust recognize the luet that the Chinese are not friends of Christianity and humanity in other lands.

In copying the above from last week's Advertiser, we would add that, ten years ago, when visiting England, it was our privilege to spend a few days in the most agreeable society of the deceased, then residing in the vicinity of Manchester. We learn from his son that his honored father had uniformly enjoyed good health through his long ministerial career, and preached before an association only ten days before his much-lamented death. Respected and beloved by a wide circle of friends and old parishioners, he belonged to a denomination in England about which the eminent Rev. Dr. Hall of New York thus spoke in one of his lectures, delivered before the students of Vale Theological School: " The Congregationalists, I am glad to say, are very strong. They are quite numerous, and their influence is out of proportion to their numbers. They are fortunate, especially, in having a large number of very efficient ministers. A stranger stopping over the Sabbath in one of the English cities, and inquiring for the church where he can hear the best preaching, is very apt to be referred to the Congregational church."

It has always seemed to me rather an unnecessary exercise of parental authority, as manifested "in the case of those French peasants who, as I have somewhere read, were wont to take their children to the boundaryline and there administer to them a sound thrashing With rods," in order that they, poor little things, might remember where their own land ended and where the territory of the stranger and the foe began. It was alleged that this exterior application strengthened the memory to such an extent that it was never found necessary to repeat it. Now, as J was saying, it has always seemed to me quite unnecessary. For I am sure the dullest of people, the sleepiest of travellers, musl know by a sort of instinct when they are crossing the border. You /eel the new spirit ot the land you are entering waiting on the frontier to welcome or repel you. It would seem almost as if countries resembled certain individuals, whose mere presence has a greater and more moving eloquence than the spoken words of others. However this may be, I for one felt the presence of Holland in some mysterious, inexplicable way as I first entered Dutch territory with the early days of last September. The hour, the moonlight, the witchery of the night, may have had something to do with this. The land lay in one unending plain. One never sees mountains here, except those which the restless, tawny waves of the sea along the shore rear in swift, passionate moments. The moon lighted the landscape—not regally, lavishly, as with us in the tropics, but with a softened lustre which seemed in harmony with the quiet of the land. Through the night the gaunt arms of the windmills—those guardian angels of Holland—rose into view, but losing much of their stiffness, their goodnatured awkwardness in the silvery light and velvety shadows.

I felt on all sides the embrace and welcome of dear, brave, heroic, grand little Holland. I had been reading for months, with tear-filled eyes and throb- bing heart, the glorious history of that mighty struggle for-truth and liberty which was here waged for well-nigh one hundred years, and I felt it to be one of the greatest privileges of my life to be permitted at length to tread the soil which, for all lovers of liberty in every land and every coming age, must be Indeed holy I If there may seem in all this the sentimental enthusiasm of a traveller, then read and re-read the sublime epic of that marvelous period—then come and see the land where this tragedy was eliacted, iv the blaze of martyr-fires, amid the smoke and gore of sacked cities, dreary battle-fields and desolated homes, where a handful of great-souled men and women won the field before the greatest armies of the world, and gained for you and me the fair and fruitful blessings of liberty of conscience,—and you will but echo my enthusiasm. Through the infinite peace of the night I seemed to see the sad, earnest, now triumphant face and figure of my chosen hero, my knight " satis neur et sans reproche," the soldier, the Christian, the martyr—" William the Silent!" NORTH HOLLAND. I was pleased that circumstances permitted my seeing a portion of Holland not visited, perhaps, by the majority of travelers. My first halting place was Groningen, the great market centre for an extensive and most fruitful region. My hotel was situated on a great public " place," one of the largest in all Holland, which on fharket days is crowded with sellers and buyers from all the country round. The chiming of the bells gave me welcome in this first city I visited, something which was to accompany me, I found, ail through Holland and Belgium. There was something especially soothing and welcoming to a stranger, coming into a new city in an unknown land, at night, this soft, musical murmur of the bells, repeated with every recurring hour of the night, like a lullaby, a message of peace through the darkness. One of the most delicious experiences of travel is that sense of novelty which strikes you in everyday objects and sets you gazing like the most inquisitive child. 1 found my bedroom, with its canopied bed, where curtains shielded me like a tent, especially delightful. In many a long day I have seen nothing so charming in its way as the hotel breakfast table which greeted me the first morning at Groningen. Certainly Dutch neatness, I thought, has not been exaggerated. The linen was spotless, the glass crystal itself, the silver laughing at its own brightness. The air was pervaded by a friendly bubbling and hissing of the water in the great central urn, which was fairly captivating. Each guest had his 'separate tea-service, arranged with the most exquisite care. The table was spread with preserves, with all manner of white breads and brown, with breakfast cakes and puffy buns, and the delicious cheeses for which the region is famed. Pardon me for tarrying so long at the breakfast table, but I found in it such an epitome of Holland that JANUARY, 188 0. I could scarcely forbear sketching it for you. Here was Dutch ease, love of comfort, slowness ; everyone sipped his tea as if he had nothing else in life to do to compare with the solemnity of this act. Here was Dutch justice shown in the generous portions, in the plenty of everything ; Dutch cleanliness and thrift, and Dutch love of the beautiful displayed in the minutest arrangement of the friendly board. It was a pleasant introduction to the day, in harmony with the sweetness and freshness of the morning, a moral stimulus to make the working hours exact, honorable, full of worthy deeds Our way (you know we are expecting to catch the early boat on the Zuyder Zee) lay through the rich farming lands between Groningen and Harlingen. This is one of the most productive portions of all Holland. It is the home, too, of a brave, thrifty, noble race—the Frisians, the old Germanic stock of whom Tacitus tells us. I enjoyed meeting them, watching them at the different stations. It chanced to be some fete day, and the trains were crowded with peasants in " brave attire." The costume defete is, you will acknowledge, staid and Puritanical enough—for the men, black, sober, clerical, angular; for the women, black; for the children, black. At first I thought there might be some great funeral in the district, but as tbe same costume appeared on every side, worn by people in the heartiest and jolliest humor, 1 found it better to laugh than weep. The women, many of them, wear heavy metal bands encircling the head, in front terminating oftentimes in beautiful ornaments of gold, all this Amazonian helmet being feHHnized and softened by little covering caps, dainty muslin affairs adorned with embroideries and lace, and above all this is perched a bonnet ofmodern make, ornamented with feathers and ribbons, the whole grayer sky, and our steamers pervous whistle impatiently called us on board, and we were soon foaming through the dullcolored waves of the Zuyder Zee. The steamer takes something like six hours to make the journey from Harlingen to Amsterdam. As you are aware, the whole Dutch coast has been, since unknown centuries the scene of the ocean's wildest sport. In the thirteenth century it invaded the land, and uniting with a near-lying lake, formed the mighty Zuyder Zee. Should you chance to have an atlas at your elbow, would you kindly follow me, steaming down to Amsterdam. The day is fresh and cool, in the morning the sky clouded, but later on revealing a blue and glorious heaven, so that we find the harbor of Amsterdam bathed in sunshine in the afternoon. We skirt the coast as far as Stavoren, where rises the friendly tower of the lighthouse. Here there is a little group waiting to receive us. Passengers are coming on board. It is noontime at the village school, and the wharf is filled with round-faced, rosy-cheeked boys and girls of the most pronounced Dutch type, and the air is filled with tneir laughing and shouting and the "clack, clack, clack of their great wooden shoes. The benevolent old p*tstor, with his smooth black cloak and spotless cravat, stands in the midst of them. His whole flock seems to be here. The coming of the steamer must be the day's sensation. We are taking on board scores of great round cheeses. At length they are in place. The chains are thrown off, and we steam across the channel to Enkhuizen. The little town, in the noon sunshine, forms a most beautiful pic. ture. All along the shore are precise and proper rows of trees, looking like a company of Dutch burgers wrapped in their mantles at conference or church. There is a picturesque, lofty tower of the middle ages, rising above an ancient gate, and in its old age, from its bells high up in air, tbe belfry sending out tender, mellow music to those far out at sea. In Enkhuizen, Paul Potter, the famous painter of animal life, was born in 1625. We shall see many of his paintings, so strong, so true, so lifelike, as we go on through the Netherlands, and especially his world-renowned " Bull," in the Royal Gallery at the Hague. Oddly enough, there was brought on board at Enkhuizen a fine young bull, with soft brown hair flecked with white, full of a grand, irrepressible life, and I felt that the stock had not run out— at least in the animals—since tbe days Paul " being the quaintest medley imaginable. They are a hardy, healthy iace, the North Hollanders—the women especially, in this district through which we are passing, being oftentimes strikingly handsome, with great, full, innocent eyes and satiny white skins stained with vivid rose. There was something Junonian about them, albeit their staid attire seemed to forbid such a classic and profane comparison. Ah, the delicious sweetness and meadow fragrance of that early autumn morning! As the train paused we glanced at Leeuwarden, the old capital of Frisia, set in the midst of a wide and smiling- landscape.

We had just bay; on all sides are passing sails of ships time to glance at the gray old houses and or fishing boats (the latter rising in great walls of Harlingen, rising upwards to a yet picturesque brown masses against the blue �sky), or the curling smoke from some hurrying steamer. The shores lie low, but varied by picturesque villages, by church spires, by forests of windmills. On one side we look off, far away through the blue haze, to the coast near which lies the town of Zwolle, where Thomas a Kempis, of holy name and fame, lived in the cloister for well-nigh 70 years where he wrote his immortal "Dc Imitatione Christi." Here he died in 1471, in his ninety-third year,—one of the sweetest, rarest, holiest men the world has ever known. On our right, just discernible, is the little village of Hoorn, the birthplace of Wilhelm Schouten, who was the first, in J616, to sail round that stormy southern cape, to which he gave the name of his native village in Holland. But before us is rising a stately and picturesque city into view, glittering in the sunshine, seen through a forest of masts, from which wave the flags of all nations. The sluices are passed, the haven reached, and we land on the busy wharf of Amsterdam. A FEW WORDS FROM BERLIN. The summer—short at the best here at the North—is gone, and winter is at the door. The brief gray days of November are with us. The Thier-garten has doffed its verdant garments of midsummer, and its glorious avenues bend before the winds mourning the death of the year, while the air is filled with myriads of falling, fluttering leaves, a veritable shower of gold. While nature mourns, the city seems filled with a tumultuous joy. The streets are agnin active and bustling and gay. The public drives and walks are filled with a brilliant throng. The Emperor is once more in the capital, his venerable, fatherly presence being a joy and comfort to every one. \ The German people have lost within a week or two one of their leading men—his Excellency Herr yon Bulow, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, a man of marked ability and of great nobility and purity of character. His funeral, which took place last week, was of a singularly striking and impressive character. The services were held in the Church of St. Matthew, one of the smaller but more beautiful churches in the city. It was crowded till there was scarcely even standing room. The scene was one not soon to be forgotten. Before the altar, which was almost hidden in a •thicket of greenery, was placed the coffin, surrounded by burning tapers and hidden from sight by masses of costly wreaths— rarest garlands of laurel leaves, pale roses, floral crosses and drooping palm branches. At the foot of the coffin, on cushions of purple velvet, were the numerous glittering orders and decorations of the deceased. The body of the church was one, of the most brilliant scenes imaginable. Ail the leading officers of Government in their varied and beautiful uniforms, such as are seen in no country as in Germany; hundreds of the military, the Diplomatic corps, and an immense throng besides, were presThe Emperor, with his brother, ent. sat on one side of the coffin, facing the widowand family. Everyone present seemed moved by the solemnity, by the impressive pathos, and 1 may say beauty of the scene. The fading light of tbe lato autumn day JANUARY, 18 8.0. came softly through the crimson and purple and gold stained windows. The hundreds of brilliant uniforms glittered like one immense jewel; the music of the organ rose and fell in full waves of mellow sound accompanying the hushed chant, Sei getren bis in den Tod.v Before all stood the flower-wreathed coffin of the departed, awing all by its voiceless eloquence ; on one side the patriarchal figure of the Emperor, on the other the group of mourners, while triumphantly above the altar was seen a picture of the risen Christ! During the past two or three weeks the General Synod of the Evangelical Church of the older Provinces of Prussia has been holding its sessions, which closed only last Monday. This has been an important session. The action of the body has been such as to show that there was much earnest life and purpose in the Church, whatever may be said by many to the contrary. The assembly, consisting of full two hundred members, clerical and lay, presented a fine appearance at its sittings. These were held in the chambers-of the Prussian House of Lords, a simple but dignified apartment. For my eye at least, there is scarcely a finer or more impressive sight in the world than that of a company of clergymen, and here in Germany i make no exception. There is a dignity in theircarriage, a peculiar mingling of sweetness, of strength, of lofty purity in their faces, especially marked in the older clergy, those who wear as a sort of halo at the close of long years of service the glory of their silver bair. Among this large company I noticed the stately Dr. Jaber, of Barmen, at the head of the Mission House there ; Professor Christlieb, from Bonn ; Dr. Kogel, one of the Court chaplains ;*Pastor Frommel, that most genial, most loveable, most charming of German clergymen ; Pastor Fincke, of Bremen, who resembles him in many respects, whose Life of St. Paul" is a choice and noble work; Dr. Brucken, one of the leading and most thoughtful preachers of Berlin, and a host of others. Among the most important ofthe lay members of the Synod were His Excellency Count Putkammer, "Cultus Minister," who has just taken the portfolio left by Dr. Falk, famous for his attacks upon the U [tramontanes ; Count Boitzenberg, Count BismarckBo Iland, etc. Every year Berlin enjoys an exhibition of modern paintings, which is for this city what the Academy is for London and the Salon for Paris, and is here called the Kunst Ausstellung." All through the autumn it has delighted and feasted the eyes of hundreds of visitors. Most of the artists whose pictures are here exhibited are resident in Berlin. Great as would be the pleasure to describe some of the beautiful paintings which have charmed us here, I must confine myself to the mention of one portrait, which is the glory of the collection, and which has been, so to say, an art event this autumn for all Germany. It is the portrait of Queen Louisa of Prussia, the mother of the present Emperor, and is executed by that master in modern portraiture, Herr Gustav Richter. Queen Louisa's name is written in luminous letters in the history of Prussia. She was the daughter of the Duke of Mccklenburg-Strelitz. She was " " " " " 3 THE FRIEND, married at an early age to Frederick William HI of Prussia, and became one of the most prominent figures in the stormy political conflicts of her period. She was a woman of extraordinary loveliness of person, of a lofty character, marvelously actuated as it were by a sense of her holy mission in the cause of Prussian liberty; in her lifetime the idol of tbe people, and since her death regarded almost as a saint or guardian angel by the German people. She died in 1809 at the early age of36, mourned perhaps as no other woman has ever been mourned in Germany. Though the present Emperor was a mere child at her death, he has cherished her memory with a devotion and sacredness, with a poetic tenderness, which still in these late years of his old age is as marked as it is beautiful. The painting by Richter is of transcendent loveliness. You recognize the lovely Queen, transfigured, exalted, inspired by her great purpose. It has been ordered by one of the citizens of Cologne, and is already hung upon the walls of the museum of that city, its rarest treasure. It represents the Queen at the height of her ripened and perfected beauty. The face is full of indescribable hopefulness, sweetness, steadfast purpose, heroic resolve —the face of an Empress, of a leader, softened by the tender, timid lines of wife and motherhood. The figure is superb, clad in a simple robe of white ; one dimpled hand is laid upon the breast, the other holds the heavy ermine-lined velvet mantle, which falls upon the marble steps she is descending. The eyes seem to be gazing upon some far distant horizon, invisible to us, Above her brow is a golden star of hope. Behind her aie storm-clouds; the air is filled with a winter sadness. Against such a background this glorious, luminous, queenly figure rises like some fair Angel of Hope F. Williams Damon. and Inspiration. Berlin, Nov. sth, 1879.

From Blakely, USUAL �6 THE FRIEND, have written letters upon this subject to China, and made it a special point with the Chinese themselves who were going Ut China and were expecting to return. The following editorial appeared in tbe Friend in July last: the time about come for the " Has notGovernment to take decided Hawaiian action about the introduction of so many Chinese immigrants, unaccompanied by tbeir wives ? Would it not be well to convene the leading and prominent Chinese merchants of Honolulu, and let the subject be fairly discussed ? Does not the magnitude of the subject demand the appointment of a Minister Plenipotentiary who shall visit China and confer with the authorities ? If the Hawaiian Government supports a Minister at Washington, ought it not also to support a Minister or Consul-General at Pekin ? Hawaiian affairs are as deeply involved in what passes in China as what passes in America. Tbe California watchword may be, " The Chinese must go," but that of Hawaii is, must " TheandChinese come," to work our cane rice fields. Now let us treat them fairly, and do all in our power to introduce Chinese families and diffuse among them Christianity." This editorial does not convey the idea that we advocate " unrestricted immigration from China." Touching this question of the Chinese and the proper manner of treating them, we would add in conclusion : AYe have no sympathy with the policy vfhich has been pursued in Peru, Cuba and California, of inviting Chinese laborers and then reducing them to slavery, or treating them otherwise than as free and voluntary immigrants who have the same right to " come and go" as immigrants from any other country. To no other country have Chinese immigrants been more cordially invited— nay, urged to come and labor, than to these Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian Government, Board of Immigration and planters have combined to make the passage easy for the Chinese to leave iheir own country and come hither. The record of Dr. Hillebrand's mission to China and the East Indies, and the mission of the Hon. Mr. Wilder as the planters' agent, are fresh in mind. To induce them to migrate hither, their passages have been paid wholly or in JANUARY, 1880. twenty years we have been laboring to may bless all your efforts to Christianize the Christianize our Chinese immigrants, and Chinese in your Islands, 1 remain, yours in Christian bonds, for more than ten years we have sustained A.

My Dear Brother: We have been separated from each other by the Pacific for these thirty odd years. While I have known much of you, I have never had any personal intercourse. Now, as Canton is to be connected with Honolulu by a line of steamers, and as the number of Chinese who will be in your Islands will be increased, I feel free to write to you of matters of common interest connected with the cause of Christ. I feel much connected with Chinese interest there, as two of my pupils, Ho Pui and Shin Chak, are your colporteurs, and an acquaintance, Sit Moon, is temporary pastor of the Chinese church in Honolulu. 1 write to say, that if we can help the work amongst the Chinese in your midst in any way, by sending books or tracts, we will be glad to do so Letters from any of the Chinese to their friends here may be sent to me. In view of the increased number of Chinese there, I would advise that one of your young ministers should come to Canton and study Chinese for two years or more. You will find it very difficult to carry on the work among the Chinese unless some American understands Chinese. There is a want of integrity even amongst Chinese Christians which you will have to guard against. There is a Wesleyan here from Australia studying Chinese, in order to have charge of the work there on his return. The Presbyterians of Australia took Rev. D. Vroomnn from this place to superintend their work there. It appears to me that you will need to put forth strenuous efforts to Christianize the Chinese in your Islands, or there is danger that they will turn many of your own islanders back You will notice that an to heathenism. part.

The past lies dead behind us, and yet in its offspring, the present, we recognize, in changed form, the pure spirit of the old. Progress has been made, but thoughtful activity is ever the necessity. Ministrations have been made to the bereaved, and we count as fatherless and friendless, not alone those whose earthly ties have been sundered, but recognise also those whom the terms in their widest application would embrace the wanderers through the world with no infinite hand to guide them. There are those whose hearts know not the feeling induced by heavenly love and paternal protection; those whom adversity has claimed as its victims ; those to whom earthly justice has meted out punishment; those whose feet have been stumbling along life's pathway ever since they first breathed the air of heaven, whose minds have always been enveloped in the darkness of a spiritual night. These sre to be considered " in affliction." The command comes, " Visit them." We are not to wait till the temporal or spiritual cloud has lifted ; but while the shadows still shroud the soul in darkness, then is the time to let in the bright rays of consolation and sympathy. The work has been begun and is progressing. The Prison and Hospital an visited weekly, and their inmates helped and comforted as far ss possible. too, an attack has been made upon ■atbendom in these Islands ; and to show result of this attack, we have simply to mention the report before the Y. M. C. A. last meeting, in which it was stated it 91 Chinese had been admitted to mem- — (Then, ijts bership in Rev. Mr. Rouse's church, Maui. Still there is ample room for Christian work. Now, when we hare accomplished all this, when we have done our duty faithfully to the sick and imprisoned, we have attained, as it seems, the easiest part of the requirements of Pure Religion. We have worked for others; but that is not enough. "To keep one's self unspotted from the world" is still incumbent. And how much that means ! The effort is a life work. The struggle is against self and the natural heart. Obstacles of evil are on every hand, and instead of straight, the path ahead seems crooked indeed. Perfection is impossible with finite beings, and some stains will cling ; but with the primal motive, God's will, those spots will be washed out in forgiveness. Have we this '•*' Religion undefined ?" The present is with us. The needy are around us, and if our own hearts are right, the only question with each one of us will be, How shall we best attain the requirements of pure religion? Then, when another year has flown, in the present that shall confront us we shall trace the lineaments of a past full of glorious achievements. In One Life-time. Some one has recently written : "I am not an old man, yet in material things 1 have seen the creation of a new world. lam contemporary with the railroad, the tele- graph, the steamship, the photograph, the steam plow, the friction match, gaslight, chloroform, nitre-glycerine, the monitor, the caloric engine, the California gold discoveries, the oil-well discoveries, gutta percha, canned fruits, the electric light, the telephone, etc. Gentlemen conservatives, these are some of the footprints of material progress of the present generation. Do you think the moral world will remain tbe same as before ? that society will be unaffected by these changes ? If you do, let me call your attention to the fact that this same generation has seen the abolition of slavery on a grand scale, the ascendancy of republican America, the opening of China aud Japan, the institution of world's fairs, the spread of the insurance system, and the agitation for the freedom of women. And the march is steadily on, with accelerating motion. What is its meaning ? Where will it end ?" The meeting of the Association took place Thursday evening, Dec. 18th. Tbe attendance was very poor, there being but ten members present. After various items of business and reports from members of committees, the subject '< Unequal Taxation l was discussed. We call attention to tbe subject for next month in our advertisement, and would ask for a fair atendance at least of the members of the Association. The corner-stone of a new Congregational chapel was recently laid at Milton, England, by a member of the Established Church, and an English Church newspaper, commenting on the fact, says: "In these days many a good Churchman is thankful to have a Dissenting chapel to go to, who would never have been induced to cross its threshold before our churches were turned into Mass-houses." "The wind is unseen, but it cools the brow of the fevered one, sweetens the summer atmosphere, and ripples the surface of the water into silver spangles of beauty. So goodness of heart, though invisible to the material eye, makes its presence felt, and from its effects upon surrounding things we are assured of its existence." Ruskin never said a truer thing than this: "If you want knowledge, you must toil for it; if food, you must toil for it; and if pleasure, you must toil for it. Toil is the law. Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self-indulgence and indolence. When one gets to loving work, his life is a happy one. Said a poor man in Brooklyn, the other day, with a family of eleven to provide for : " If I were worth a million dollars 1 should not wish to do much different than I do now every day, working hour afterhour. I love it a thousand times better than to. rest." He has for nearly half a century been surrounded by workers, and hns caught the spirit of industry. He loves his work better than food or sleep. He is happy who has conquered laziness once and forever. He that has an eye and a heart can even now say, Why should I falter ? Light has come into the world ; to such as love light, so as light must be loved, with a boundless, all-doing, all-enduring lore. Here on earth we are as soldiers fighting in a foreign land, that understand not the plan of the campaign, and have no need to understand it, seeing well what is at our hand to be done. Let us do it like soldiers, with submission, with courage, with a heroic joy. " Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might.'' Behind us, behind each one of us, lie six thousand years of human effort, human conquest. Before us is the boundless time, with its aa yet uncreated and unconquered continents and Eldoradoes, which we, even we, have to conquer, to create; and from the bosom of eternity there shine for us celestial guiding stars. inheritance, how -wide and fair I •• My Timela my fair M*d field-of Una I'm heir." — Cttrlyle, � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dr. Damon is planning to take the February steamer for a trip to the States, and to Europe. Mrs. Damon will accompany him, both needing the rest and recuperation such a tour usually affords." We clip the above from the Gazette, and would add, that, during our absence, of a few months, we hope to gratify a life-long desire, to spend a few days in London during the " May-Meetings." The B. and F. Bible Society, London Missionary Society, Church Missionary Society, Religious Tract Society, and other simitar associations, are world-wide in tbeir influence, and it is our desire to take a near view of these agencies, so potent and evangelistic for good. In making our preparations for leaving it is pleasant to be cheered forward, by the hearty congratulations of neighbors, friends and parishioners, including our sea-faring friends,all adding, "We are glad you are going." We are now entering upon our fortieth year of service, under the auspices of the American Seamen's Friend Society, a trip abroad, is " now or never."

Rev. Francis H. Robinson. It was with much pleasure that we were permitted to welcome this young clergyman and his wife on their way to Wailuku, where he is to take charge of the Foreign Church. It affords us additional pleasure to receive a note from Rev. Mr. Alexander, from which we copy as follows : " I had the pleasure of hearing" him preach last Sunday. I think he is the right man in the right place. We are all much pleased with him and his wife. We had a social gathering in the Government Union storehouse last evening to welcome them. A large number attended, and I hope we shall now get better acquainted with each other and love each other more."

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 37 Autumn Days Is the Netherlands—No. 2. Brussels, Belgium, September, 1879. I have arrived thus far in safety in my journey through the Netherlands and Belgium. It Is almost superfluous for me to say that it is proving in all respects, and in the highest degree, a journey delightful, beneficial and instructive. 1 have been favored with the most beautiful of golden September days, the most charming of autumn weather: My study and reading and intense anticipation for weeks and months past, in reference to and of Holland and Belgium, are now in a remarkable degree enabling me to appreciate the opportunities which are afforded me here. It is a grand and glorious historical, artistic and poetic feast for me, and will be to me for life of immense importance. Let me sketch briefly in outline my journey thus far—and it must be only in outline, for my time is limited for writing, and 1 hope for weeks to come to send you all the details and sidecoloring after I am once more back in Berlin.

By train to Hilder, to see the grand dykes of North Holland, defence against the North Sea. A visit to the historic.and picturesque towns of Aikmaar and Zandaam, then to Harlem— charming, sweetly clean, brave old Harlem —and then to the Hague snd Leiden, so famous from its memorable siege and Motley's descriptions. On every side were Dutch pictures in landscape, dress face, etc. The picturesque -little town of Delft I also visited. Here William tbe Silent was assassins ted.

Antwerp, with its glorious Cathedral, its splendid gallery,' its splendid memories of Rubens and a host of other artists. 1 can speak of only with unbounded enthusiasm. My visit there was a banquet. From Antwerp to Ghent, are we not indeed on classic ground? Then through Bruges and Ostend the great watering-place, to Brussels. 1 am finding my anticipations fully realized, and that is saying much. lam seeing the originals of hundrds of noble paintings is the very land which saw their birth, and amid associations and scenes of which they are to so large a degree the expression. Rembrandt has fascinated me indescribably here in Holland, and in Belgium Rubens is waiting to give me welcome. Art-taste is, I am convinced, a plant of slow growth, but when its roots have found a place in one's heart and fancy, its progress is sure. I am seeing daily, towns with their treeshadowed canals and quaint old houses and noble churches ; charming Dutch inter" with iors," exquisitely neat, and beautiful family lite, open to me on every side ; the sweet, mellow chimes of the bells go with me all along the way ; my road lies through wide-spreading meadows, where the sleek and mild-eyed cattle feed, the pride of the Dutch farmer. It has been a constant source of pleasure to me in the midst of my rambles to think that I might be permitted to share with others the impressions which these profoundly interesting and delightfully historic and picturesque countries m >ke upon the traveler who is permitted to tread their truly classic soil. So deeply, so intensely has the "spirit" of these lands affected me,- so eloquently have the thousand historic monuments which guided my wanderings proclaimed thier story ; on such rare and gloriously beautiful creations of laureled artists have I been permitted to gaze, that I should seem to myself to be doing violence to a thousand precious memories if I attempted to recall them hastily in the few moments afforded me for writing. It were better if there were more reverence in travel and in its recital than one meets with in our day. Every traveller who regards the opportunity afforded of visiting lands hoary with age and tradition in a certain sense as a sacred privilege, finds his experience nobly expressed in that thoughtful sonnet of the poet Wordsworth on Bruges: The spirit of antiquity—enshrined In sumptuous buildings,—vocal is sweet song, In picture, speaking; wilh heroic tongae. And witb devout solemnities entwined— Strikes to tbe seat of grace within tbe mind. THK FETES OF SEPTEMBER IN BRUSSELS. Allow me to give, in a few words, a glimpse at tbe folk-life of Brussels, leaving our excursion into the domain of the past until another time—a time of more leisure than the present—asking your kindly charity for these unavoidably nasty lines. All Belginm may be said to be looking forward to September, 18S0, with especial anticipation. At this time will be celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the independence of Belgium, which dates from the September Revolution of 1830. As you are aware, this resulted in the separation of Belgium from Holland. In l>3l. Leopold of Saxony-Coburg was called to the throne, which is now occupied by his son Leopold 11. During the years of peace which have since followed, the country has In many respects made astonishing progress. The great national anniversary has been that of the last daya of September, every recurring year celebrated with the greatest enthusiasm by the people all over the land, and with especial brilliancy, of course, in the capital, Brussels. All the artistic talent and ingenuity of Belgium, which is by no means slight, will be brought into service during the coming year to render the Fetes as splendidly impressive as possible, and all Europe will watch with interest this imposing pageant of national festivity. Hence, to visit Brussels in September, 1879, might seem like coming a year too soon, for the forty-ninth celebration might naturally be expected to be as dull as the fiftieth would be brilliant. Still, I think a Fete in Brussels could scarcely ever be dull, the whole atmosphere of the city is too enlivening. And 1 must confess the series of festivities from the 23d to the 27th were exceedingly interesting. Brussels, you know, is generally regarded as a smaller edition of Paris. And certainly there is very much here to remind one of the brilliant French capital; and yet the city and its life has a decided character of its own, as indeed has the vvhoje country, where, as some one has remarked, the " two elements, Latin and German, are to be met with, so happily united." Brussels is charming, and I do not wonder that it has become so favorite a resort of the English who take up their residence on the Continent. As one meets with two peoples and two languages here at every turn, the Flemish and the French, so the city itself has a double character. There is the old Brussels, with its narrow streets, its historic memories, its medieval architecture; there is the new city, with its superb avenues and treeplanted boulevards, its glittering shops, its magnificent public buildings and parks. The Past and the Present unite in singular harmony. REQUIEM SERVICE IN THE CATHEDRAL. 1880. center of the Cathedral, which was heavily draped with black and silver, rose a stately cenotaph with mourning pall. It was an impressive scene. The grey light of the morning came sadly through the ancient windows, whose colors have been deepened and mellowed by the changing seasons of centuries; the solemn music flooded the long aisles and lost itself amid the lofty Gothic arches ; hundreds of officials in their robes of office, bands of soldiers in uniform, officers and diplomats in glittering costume, lighted the shadows formed by the heavy mourning draperies ; the intoned liturgy of the large company of the officiating priests rose with the clouds of incense above the altar. The Cathedral and its surrounding squares were filled by a vast throng of sightseers. After the service, which terminated about noon, the companies of soldiery formed in procession and marched through the crowded streets to the Place dcs Mar- tyrs, in which is a monument erected to the fallen braves, and there deposited wreaths and garlands of immortelles. VARIOUS FESTIVITIES. It would indeed be quite impossible to give anything like a detailed description of the many and varied entertainments which marked the week. There were free performances at different theatres, in Flemish and French, to which the people flocked in vast crowds. On one of the long canals near the city a brilliant regatta look place, at which the King and Queen of the Belgians were present. Athletic games and various sports attracted the people to different parts of the city. Bands of music and various processions passed and repassed through the streets and boulevards. The houses and public squares were hung with the tricolor of Belgium—red, yellow and black. A great national concert was given, where only the compositions of Belgian musicians were performed. For a few days a general spirit of merry-making prevailed, which even the contentions which seem ever to be waged between the Romish clergy and the Liberals could not mar. Among the various celebrations, nothing was more interesting than the ceremony attending the distribution of rewards and honors to those who during the past year have rendered their names especially illustrious by reason of acts of courage, devotion and humanity. The ceremony was most impressive. The King and Queen and the highest dignitaries of State were present. The vast hall was filled to overflowing by an enthusiastic throng, who welcomed the heroes of the day with tumultuous applause. The list of noble deeds and acts of heroism here brought to the notice of the public was one which did honor to our humanity, and as one after another advanced to receive the little cross or order which testified to his bravery, one could not but feel moved by a hearty enthusiasm. The list was a long one, and the recipients were of every rank and age. One or two little children had distinguished themselves by some especial act of courage. The simple recital of the events brings a thrill to everyone—rescue of sufferers from conflagrations; noble facing of smoke and flames for those in danger; prevention of accidents to crowd- The celebrations attracted visitors from all parts of the country. Though I arrived a day or two before their commencement, it was with difficulty that I succeeded in getting a room in one of the hotels. In ISSO a late comer will fare but poorly. The opening ceremony was the celebration of a requiem service in the Cathedral of St. Michel and St. Gudule, an imposing Gothic structure with a stalely facade, rising from one of the heights above tbe city. There was something peculiarly touching and appropriate in the service. Before the living entered upon the enjoyment of their festivities, every heart turned in grateful love and memory to those who helped to lay the foundations of the national independence, but who never lived to enjoy the frnits of their labors—those who died bravely fighting for the Fatherland. The service consisted in the celebration of a Mass and in the rendering by the choir of a beautiful Requiem, written expressly for the occasion. In the ed railway trains ; rescue of ships in danger �1880. 1 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, in storm and darkness ; saving of lives from drowning. Such scenes as this which lam describing lift us into the highest spheres of love and sympathy. The race has not degenerated. Every day's record of the calamities and dangers which surround us show what possibilities of heroism there are still in the world. The Royal Society of Science and the Fine Arts held on one of the closing days a most interesting session, when various prizes were distributed. These few facts may perhaps give you something of an idea of the great variety of the interesting entertainments afforded the visitor during those days. BEFORE THE HOTEL DE VILLE. The public Place of the city plays an important part in history in all lands of Western and Southern Europe. It is the point where so many of the great festivities and the tragedies, the joys and sorrows of the people, have had their theatre. You strike hfre at the heart, it may be scarred and seared, but still the heart of History. The 44 Place" in which the stately Hotel dc Ville of Brussels is placed is one of the most interesting, if in some respects one of the saddest, spots in the old world. I am tempted here to quote a few words from a brilliant pHge of Motley's "Dutch Republic," which paints with one or two rapid strokes the Place and its memories. It is at the point where he speaks of the fate of Count Egmont nnd Count Horn, who fell victims to Spanish tyranny : 44 The great square of Brussels had always a striking and theatrical aspect. Its architectural effects, suggesting in some degree the meretricious union between Oriental and a corrupt Grecian art, accomplished in tbe niediwvaUnidnight, have nniiizcd the eyes of many generations. The splendid Hotel dc Ville, with its daring spire and elaborate front, ornamented one side of the place; directly opposite was the graceful but incoherent fitcade of the Brood Huia, now the last earthly resting-place of the two distinguished victims, while grouped around these buildings rose the fantastic palaces of the Archers, Mariners and other guilds, with their festooned walls and toppling gables, bedizened prolusely with emblems, statues and quaint decorations. The place had been alike the scene of many a brilliant tournament and of man j a bloody execution. Gallant knights had oontended within ita precincts, while bright eyes rained influence from all those picturesque balconies and decorated windows. Martyrs to religious and to political liberty had upon the same spot endured agonies which might have roused every stone of its pavement to mutiny or softened them to pity. Here Egmont himself, in happier days, had often borne away the priao of skill or of valor, the cynosure of every eye ; and hence, almost in the noon ola lite illustrated by many brilliant actions, he was to be sent by the band of tyranny to bis great account." It was in this historic square that some of the most interesting ceremonies of the Festival week of this year took place. On the second morning of the Fetes the square was filled with hundreds of spectators to witness the ceremony of the distribution of prizes to the various " Societies and Companies of Sports' of the city. This seems to be a remnant of some ancient custom of more picturesque days. In the centre of the square rose a pavilion gayly decorated, for the judges and distributors. The morning was gay with the stirring music of different bunds. Tbe day was charming and the scene most bright and animated. First " " came the Royal Society of St. Sebastian, ancient and historic company of Archers, bearing the insignia of their order. Then, in long line, one company after the other devoted to the practice of some especial game or exercise. Their banners and standards, of every hue and color, heavy with gold, fluttering in the wind, brought to mind the long-vanished days when the knights of the land with their followers rode to tourney on ihe Place. After they had taken their stand, the prizes were distributed and the great throng dispersed. In the evening of the same day there was a grand military concert given on the square. It was a striking scene. Brilliant lines and festoons of gas jets and colored lanterns lighted the great Place as if with sunshine. The grand Uothic facade and graceful mounting spire of the Hotel dc Ville seemed transfigured in the blaze of light. The square was one wave of upturned faces, over which strains of music floated in great flooding waves of melody. While above all this picture, so brilliant, its coloring deepened by the shadows of the evening and framed by the solemn towering walls of the ancient buildings forming the square, appeared the silver moon in the glorious bending arch of the night. For the moment it seemed as if another throng filled the air—as if the spirits of other ages were looking down upon this holiday spectacle. And the vision of the martyred dead and of the gay companies what 1880 may have in store for the good people of Brussels and Belgium. F. Williams Damon. Hawniian Legation, Berlin. P. S.—We are in the midst of Christmas week, that great festival season for Germany, snd I write enveloped by the perfume and fragrance of Christmas greens. I have this year been especially struck by the universal celebration of this anniversary. Here it is a festival of joy, which levels all differences of creed, of nationality, of employment ; rich and poor, the high and low, Jew and Gentile, have in their way participated in it. It is probable that the majority have passed over the real meaning and significance of the season. This may be so, but I would see in this universality of participation a suggestion of that glorious faith which He revealed to us whose birthday we now celebrate. The Song of the Angels, that grandest of Christmas carols, was sung for no particular race or time. It was for all time, lor every race. How grandly the music swells as the years roll on ! Each Christmas should be to us a higher vantsge ground. Our age calls for " More light, more light!" Strange, when the Divine sunlight floods the onward way. And yet perhaps not so strange when we think how loath we are to look unto the source of all light. 1 saw recently in Brussels a striking picture. It was painted with grand, tremendous strokes. The immense canvas was for the main part dusky and heavy with who had once shone amid these serene ancient precincts—heroes, priests, knights, and armed soldiery—arose before me. Was shadows, immense sombre masses of darkit fancy, or the ghostly shadows of the pass- ness and cloud. But in the center rose a cross, bearing the form of the Divine suffering clouds? er, the Savior of Mankind. And now the CONGRESSES. No capital of Europe now feels that it has picture changed.

December 28th.—A young navsl chaplain, Herr Goedel, who was in Honolulu in tbe Leipzig about a year ago, has justtaken his leave. He called on me last week, and to-day he was my guest at dinner. It was so very pleasant to talk with him about home, and his memories of Honolulu are most fresh and charming. He says that in all his travels he has found no such delightful place as Honolulu, and he says this is the unanimous feeling of all the officers. He fairly brims over with gratitude for your He is now preaching, and is kindness naval instructor.

Some years ago, when conversing with a person about some new publication respecting Polynesia, be remarked in a querulous tone, " What! Another book ! I should think enough had been written and printed already." Our reply was, " The reading world has only just begun to read the books which will be written about Polynesia." Since then several books have appeared relating to Polynesia, and a good half-dozen about the Hawaiian Islands, including Miss Bird's, Mr. Fornander's, Mrs. Brasscy's, Judge Caton's, and now comes to us, fresh from Boston, with the imprint of " 1880 " on the title page, another volume, entitled Aloha," by the Rev. George Leonard "Chancy, late pastor of Hollis St. Church, Boston. This tourist, accompanied by his wife, visited our Islands 1875-76. The volume is dedicated to the Honorable and Mrs. H. A. P. Carter, " without whose kind persuasion" the author would not have visited the Islands. Tbe author, we think, has been peculiarly happy itj the selection of a title—" Aloha," 44 Love to you." This, he aptly remarks, commonest and sweetest word in "theis the Hawaiian tongue." Dr. Anderson, in his book on the Islands, thus writes about the same word : " Aloha is their characteristic word. If they have not words to ex- press some of tho great ideas, they certainly have a word expressive of the sweetest, richest sentiments of the human heart— Aloha. I never wearied with the repetition, though I repeated it thousands of times." Mr. Chancy has certainly written a very pleasant, racy, readable and enjoyable volume. He appears to have quietly glided around among all classes of our Island community, observing the various phases of human life, and viewing the natural scenery with the eye of an artist and naturalist. Being a New Englander and Bostonian, he is gratified to discover a strong infusion of good old Puritan principles in the society of the Islands, made up of so many nationalities. "Itis a curious and pleasant thing to see how many of the best characteristics of the Anglo-American race havebeen transplanted and domesticated in this far-away Kingdom. If the good old type should die out of Mew England, 1 believe that it would be found surviving in the descendants of the best sett era of the Hawaiian Islands." He takes a hopeful view of the Chinese element, although his keen forecast of the future gently crops out when he remarks, 44 Take care, O King, that the lean kine do not eat up the fat ones." We regret that our limits will not allow us to copy many a bright, hopeful and sparkling paiagraph falling uuder our notice in glancing over this volume. We have not met with a single carping or ill-natured remark in one of its 299 pages. We attribute tbis in part to the fact that he took the word Aloha for his key-note. The writer appears to have found the Islands a restful place. We think this has also been true of other visitors who have escaped for a brief season from professional duty in the court-room and the pulpit. Mr. Dana, Judge Caton, Dr. Anderson, Dr. Clark, Dr. Stone, Dr. Chancy and others have expressed the idea that they found the Islands a restful spot. We can most cordially commend this volume to the reading public, and are confident our booksellers will find a constant sale for years to come. Mr. Chancy compliments Miss Bird most gracefully in his introduction : " Miss I. L. Bird has written a charming book of travel in the Hawaiian Archipelago. If I can give.my readers half tbe pleasure she has given me, I shall be satisfied." We think he may be satisfied. Miscellanies. By John Dean Caton, LL. D. Boston i Riverside Press. 1880. We would acknowledge a copy of tbis book by Judge Caton. It contains much most valuable information relating to Law, The History, Science and Literature not to his has been devoted only proJudge fession, but has stepped aside, and like other 1880; wise men, from Solomon down, has been one that " intermeddled with all wisdom." The habits of the American deer and the antelope have been his special study. When he visits foreign conntries he studies up everything relating to those lands—c. g., the Hawaiian Islands and Cuba. Now he is upon a visit to Japan, and we may erelong expect interesting Papers" relating to those islands. He was en route thither, through San Francisco, when he most kindly forwarded this volume, which we have perused with interest About sixty pages of this volume relate to the Hawaiian Islands, some parts of the same having been published in our Island papers. * Victorian Review. Vol. I. No. I. This is a publication coming to us from Melbourne, Victoria, and takes us somewhat by surprise. It is a large and beautifully printed Quarterly, with a corps of contributors worthy of a first-class Review of England or America. Our limits will not allow us to pru.t all we should be pleased to say in the way of high commendation. It con- tains eleven articles, on various topics, and having read several, we can recommend the Review as first-class One article, entitled, " Will?" theis Anglo-Australian Race Degenerate most suggestive. The wriier views the nations of the earth from a geological standpoint. Thus writing, he remarks, "We must be prepared for an inevitable degeneration of the Anglo-Australian stock." We regret we cannot reproduce the whole article, and also another, " A Coming Citizen of the World,"—viz., Chinese. Through Whitney & Robertson and T.G. Thrum the Review may be obtained. The Presbyterian Review. Vol. I. No. 1. This is a first-class Review, started by the ablest divines and writers of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. Sound scholarship, able reasoning, broad views and manly discussion will characterize this Quarterly, if we may judge what future numbers will be from the one now lying on our table. It is published by Randolph & Co., of New York, for the Presbyterian Review Association. We think many of our readers will peruse with interest the letter we publish from Miss Bird, written after her return to England from her trip to Japan. Her letters relating to our Islands have much enlightened all who are interested in this part of the world. Often we meet with tourists who say that they never should have come hither but for reading Miss Bird's book. If any of our readers are interested in reading about the Amos of Japan, to whom Miss Bird refers, we would refer them to the Friend for November, 1871, containing an article carefully prepared by Mr. Lindau, a German gentleman and tourist, then on a visit to Honolulu. He is a brother of the celebrated Lindau. who now stands among the ioremnst literary men of Germany. The Amos of Japan hold the same relation to the people of Japan that the North American �Indians do to the people of America. They were the original inhabitants of Japan. Miss Bird's reference to our old friend Mangero is most touching. He merits something better than neglect, for he is one of Japan's noblest men. He gave to Japan a transjaiion of Bowditch's Navigator, and was the translator of Perry's Dispatches ""when Japan was opened. He was also one of the Japanese Commissioners to observe the German and French war. We could wish our U. S. Minister in Japan might speak a kind word in behalf ot Captain JOURNAL. MARINE S. I.

Whatever ohangee have passed over tbe world daring the last quarter, tbe Honolulu Sailor's Home, has continued onward in its career of usefulness. Its doors have always been open and accomodations always provided for those for whom it wss built and others who concluded to avail themselves of its privileges. Many thousands of seamen aod others have here found a quiet temporary resting place. Io reviewing the history of tbe Society, we notioe that some of the original officers are living, while others have passed away. Judge Allen, our Minister at Washington, was the first President ; Judge Lee, one of the Trustees : Judge Robertson another and S. N Castle snother, while Capt. Babcock was one of the Floating Committee. Mr Castle has been among those of the Trustees during all tbe period of Ihe society existence, and be is now our honored President, while the Seamen's Chaplain has always acted as Chairman of the Executive Committee in preparing the Annual Report. Tbe corner stone was laid by His Majesty Etmebemeha IVtb on Restoration Day, 81th of July, 1855. We have always admired tbe address of His Majesty on that oooasioo as peculiarly appropriate and we remember it wss written out io his own band writing, when called for by tbe printer. The laying of the corner atone of an edifice destined to add to the welfareand happlneaa of Seamen is an occasion Interesting to every member of thla oommunity. The hardships with which the Bailor contends,and the dangera which be braves bring ua ease and aecwity. Had he never steered hie ahipa Into our watera, Honolulu might simply haveretained lta position aa a fishing village or become by thla time a deaerted beach. I hope the day haa panned forany claaaof men to be valued only for their strength, and adaptability to thepurposes of others. The sailor, the miner, the seamstress, and even tbe slave, for generations to come, will all have canae to bless the Nineteenth Century. In ralalng thla Home, we endeavur to act In accordance with the Spirit of the Age, by seeking to ameliorate the condition of a preponderating element of our foreign and a very conalderabla one of oar native, population. The moral wants of the aailor demand our care equally with thoae that are phyalcel. The facilities offered to him on ahora aa a reasonable and responsible being should be multiform. In orderto counteract the dlaadvantages inseparable from a life at see. For hla own sake, and tbat of every community he visits, he should ever be found an orderlyand Intelligent member of society; Institutions of thla character will help to make him ao.

The necessity for sustaining suoh an institution remains as urgent as ever. It forms a cent 4 place of resort for friends of many good enterprises, including Bible and tract distribution. So manifest has been Ihe usefulness of this institution that it bss never been allowed to become encumbered with debt, and tbe community has always most generously responded when appeals base been mads for its support. It should not be forgotten tbsl in the early dsys of ths Home, representation of Government officers among tha Trustees led to a thorough review and remodeling of Hawaiian Laws relating to the proper treatment of seamen. Bonis years sgo, when Ihe friends of seamen in Ibe United States desired tbe enactment of new laws relating to seameu, copies of our Laws and regulations were applied for, and wben the newly framed laws were passed by the United Slates Congress, it was manifest that hinls at least were euggesiel by Hawaiian Laws and regulations ielating to seamen. No oandid observer can possibly review ihe history of the Home for a quarter of a century and not acknowledge its great usefulness to seamen, strangers and others At the present time all our Consuls send their distressed seamen thither wben they are not under medical treatment at the Queen's Hospital. Many of the boarders of line have been sent hy the planters' sgenls ; hence to close its doors and suppress its various agencies would be a serious loss to the com- ** munity. Sam'i. C. Damon Chairman of Ex Com. Letter from Miss Bird. 19, Coote's Crescent, Edinburgh, Nov. 16th, 1879. Dear Mr. Damon: I am in your debt for the Friend, which I always read from the first to the last word. * How I wish I was going to the never-tobe-forgotten Islnnds ! Now I must tell you about your last letter. Strange to say, I received the Friend [in Japan] with an account of the Amos in Yezo the day before I left for a three weeks' tour among the Amos, and consequently it interested me exceedingly, as did these truly pathetic aborigines. I had previously become very well acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Murray, and on returning to Tokiyo lost no time in speaking to them about Mangero, and Mr. Murray took a great deal of trouble to find him out, and having done so, invited him to meet me nt lunch. Mangero is quite an old-looking and sad-looking man. His party is out of power and himself out of employment, and he lives on a plot of land at some distance from Tokiyo. He brightened very much when he heard of you, and especially when r- gave him your photo and message. I urged him to write to you, but he has nearly forgotten English. Your thought of him seemed to be quite a gleam of brightness in his depressed condition, and I am very glad that you gave me the message to him. Others I saw who spoke of you. I spent ten days with the Hepburns, and Mrs Hepburn said that her day in Honolulu was the fullest and most exciting she ever spent. 1 was for a fortnight with the Gulicks, and * * there 1 almost forgot that I was not on Hawaii. Mrs. Gulick, senior, was very frail, but "the inner man" seemed " renewed day by day,"and the influence of her piety seems very sweetly felt by all. I saw much of the missionary circle there and at Kiyoto, and was very much interested in the hopeful work which your countrymen and women are doing there, which contrasts ..strongly with much of unsuccessful though earnest effort in other parts of Japan. I liked Mrs. Orimel Gulick very much. She has the good qualities which I admired so much in her sisters. She is much esteemed and looked up to, as she deserves to be. I spent seven months in Japan, and traveled very considerably in the northern interior and among the aborigines in Yezo. It grew gradually upon me, and is a deeply interest- 1880. Letter from Major Webb. Papeetee, Tahiti, Not. 9, 1879. Mv Dear Mr. Damon : I write to let you know of my arrival here. I had a very rapid and pleasant voyage from San Francisco in a smart little schooner called the Greyhound. We left on the Ist October and arrived at Tahiti on the 29th. We had good winds all the way, except at the Line, where we passed through the calm regions found there. I have taken a small house here, and will probably remain some time on this island. It is very beautiful and richly wooded, and reminds me of the Sandwich Islands. The people are exactly of the kind, open-hearted race, and very hossame but it did not steal my heart! ing Then I went for three weeks to Canton and pitable. lam told that they often support Honkong, and was delighted with the for- white men when they are no longer able to mer.

A., at its last meeting, voted that a letter of appointment be handed to Dr. Damon, authorizing him to represent our Association on his intended trip abroad. The Doctor thinks that the Associations will look on him as quite an aged young man ! Betting.—The sentiments of the P. C. Advertiser upon this subject should be endorsed by every Christian and moral man in the community. Betting is a vice, and should be treated as such. Henry Ward Beecher speaks of this subject somewhat as follows: "To every young man who indulges in the least form of gambling, I raise a warning cry. Under the specious name of amusement you are laying the foundations of gambling* It vitiates the imagination, corrupts the tastes and destroys industry, being a practice disallowed among Christians, excluded by mere moralists, and hateful to industrious and thriving men." Music.—No man can of himself overcome his propensity to evil. That power must come from outside influences, one of the purest of which is music. Unlike most earthly influences, music itself speaks only for good. From the same mouth come blessings and cursings, but the good God seems to have made music so that man could by no possibility wring evil from it. A spirit of darkness could not make an organ express his evil thoughts for him, while the purest heart and gentlest tongue are often the instruments of evil. These influences are designed by our Maker to lure us to good, and no young man has such innate power that he may slight them. Cultivate music, good society and those other earthly stepping stones to an honest life which, though not Christianity, are yet its offspring. The Angel of Patience. [Translated from the German.] A talentangel noiseless flies From Heaven's high firmament; To soothe all sorrowing hearts he hies, By aod theFather sent. His glance on all doth peace bestow. And graceand innocence— His presence dries the tears of woe— The Angel of Patience. And us this angel safely leads Through all our griefs and cares, While with our hearts he gently pleads, And us for Heaven prepares. Wben we are fainting, in despair, He doth our fears dispel, Helps us our hesvy cross to bear, And makes, again, all well. To gentle sorrow he converts The most soul-piercing smart, And humbles what fslse pride perverts, Ibe erring human heart. He makes for us the darkest hour Again with brightness glow, And sweetensall misfortunes sour, Effectually, if slow. With ours he mingles his own tears, And all our bruises heals ; He soothes our griefs and calms our fears, And Heaven to us reveals. And if, by cruel sufferings drove, We, murmuring, ask, ■ Oh, why Then with a smile he points above*" To him who rules the sky. He cannot, all at once, prepare To wipe awsy each tear ; His constant motto is, " Still bear 1 The place of rest is near 1" Thus by onr aide this angel walks, His silentaid to lend— And, thoughhe very little talks, He is our truest friend. 16 ChYMrisoetuann'gHAocf onolulu. filled the Anglo-Saxon with alarm, and the Pacific Slope echoes with the cry, " The Chinese must go.// Somewhat different is this arbitrary language from the popular theories of the same people one hundred and fifty years ago, when flooding the new world to the exclusion of the natives. Such doctrines as, no people had a right to exclude from their territory those better able to improve the same, were very popular among Anglo-Saxons of that day, but it will not do for the Mongolian of to-day—in struggling peaceably to hold his ground—to re-hearse the cunning arguments with which the Anglo-Saxon silenced his complaints and those of his American cousin when he was the interloper—for, you see, the boot is on the other ley. What result will follow Chinese emigration and China's intercourse with the outside world, Providence alone knows.

Amsterdam, the capital of Holland,'that quaint old Dutch city on the V, is, as every one will say, highly interesting, even when the clouds of damp grey mist float in from the Zuidersee, so potent is the charm of history and art. But those who were so happy as to visit this city in the early days of last September will, I am convinced, agree with me in saying that it was absolutely and entirely delightful. This was in part, perhaps, owing to the weather, and this was perfect. The days were rich in golden, mellow autumn sunshine, and the nights crowned with silver moonlight, which seemed to rest like a blessing on tbe shadowy old towers, the slumbertng trees and thousand winding canals of the city. I pay with pleasure this tribute to the exceeding loveliness of these rare days; and now we enter the city, where I fancy we shall find a more kindly welcome, in our garb of peaceful travelers, than had we come a few centuries ago with the clanking armor, the heavy helmets and cruel swords of Spanish soldiers. What stormy times peaceful old Amsterdam saw in its younger days ! Quaint old Erasmus of Rotterdam said he knew a city whose inhabitants lived of trees," meaning "thelike cranes, on theoftops Amsterdam ; and -his good burgers comparison was not so very bad after all. The whole city (imagine it) is built on piles, sunk in tbe mud of this most watery and marshy region. What a race of beavers they are, these sturdy, patient Dutch ! It would seem as if this earth of ours, with all its firm land, might have sufficed without this invasion upon the domain of the sea. Think of all the glorious stretches of plain and prairie there are left untitled and uninhabited, and then of this marshy Dutch coast, where land has been made in the midst of the wares and stately cities have arisen. Surely that old Adamic curse of work, which has ended in being a blessing, has been fulfilled here a thousand-fold, Amsterdam is one oi the roost interesting cities it has been my good fortune to sea in the old world. You know its long and important history, and that it is one of the leading commercial cities of Europe to-day. �18 THE FRIEND, MARCH, but not the place of royal residence, as the King prefers the Hague. The city is intersected by innumerable canals, crossed by hundreds of bridges. All this, with tire quaint architecture*of the houses, tends to produce a most picturesque effect. The harbor is a forest of masts. Ships of all sizes, and steamers little and great, under the flags of all nations, make rendezvous here. The wharves are a Babel of languages and accents. Occident and Orient seem here to meet, and the wealth of the Indies is disclosed under this grey Northern sky. There are odors of the East, a perfume of spices, mingling with others less aromatic and poetic. The colonial possessions of Holland are so extensive and important that the intercourse between them and the mother country is naturally on a very large scale. There is a remarkable staidness and solidity about the city, which I find in no way at variance with its picturesqueness. Here one sees most evident traces of the proverbial Dutch cleanliness. The exterior as well as the internsVeems to be cleaned and scoured. 1 was especially struck by a very clever arrangement which facilitated this. This was a species of pump, placed in a tub or bucket of water, with which the servant standing in the street could send a copious shower on to the windows and house, which seemed in a droll way of its own used to this perpetual ablution. Houses as well as people grow to be amphibious here! There is an especial charm in an early morning walk through the streets of Amsterdam. The life of the city begins 'early and continues late. The streets are sometimes the liveliest towards midnight. This is astonishing, after Germany. You see scarcely any long avenues here. All the houses, or a very large majority, face the canals, from which they are separated by broad streets or promenades. In the qnieter portions of the city, where the wealthy merchants live, the canals are shaded by long and beautifully symmetrical rows of elms and other trees, which with the water sparkling in the sunlight, the noble bridges, the stately and carefully kept facades of the houses, make a most interesting, if quiet picture. Certainly a remarkable quiet reigns here in these early morning hours. There is a delicious drowsiness in this calm retreat, broken only now and than as some oar cuts the green waters of the canal. A little farther on we should find it more animated. What a bustle and stir along the quays. How much wealth goes in and out of these lofty, narrow stores and business houses, which run up, up towards the blue sky, ending in some quaint device at the top! They are grey with age ; some of them have seen better days. Tbey have been the palaces of stout and dignified burger princes of long ago. Climb their narrow winding stairways, dive into their dusky, cobwebby" corners, and you would find many a rare bit ot ancient glory— sculptured marbles, richly carved woods and faded tapestries. At every turn some strikingly interesting building faces you,—a thousand historic memories fling their shadows upon your way and claim a bearing. We wander on, scarcely thinking of the way we take. The Jewish quarter of this old city is in its way strangely interesting. What a " 1880. spot for a painter ! Quaint gabled houses ; gipsy-like encampments of fruit-venders and old clothes sellers in the midst of the streets; lanes so narrow that those Jewish girls, gossiping high up in the air, can almost touch bands across ; groups of men, women and children in " antique" garments, with still a touch of Oriental brilliancy about them'; and, above all, that indispensable requisite of artistic confusion—dirt! I have scarcely ever seen anything more entertaining, more revolting than the Jewish quarter what famous naval victories Holland has won ! The church is admirably, gracefully adorned in Gothic style. But now our cheery guide (of all guides in this old world give me a bright-faced old lady, in pleated cap and musical with jingling keys, no one will serve you better,) is going through tbe most energetic pantomime to tell us that it is time for us to take our places. And sure enough, presently the little bridal train comes in—very simple, exceedingly bourgeois, but 1 find it, after all, quietly touching and tenderly poetic. There is a very great deal of blushing ! The bride has a hat with white lace band and a black dress—for this is a very sensible and economical way they have of doing here. It can serve afterwards for all future state occasions—for Sundays, for baptisms and funerals The groom has a pink flower in his buttonhole, and seems very happy, his happiness rendering him almost graceful. It is an odd, striking little picture. It is just about noon-time on some prosaic week-day. Without is the great hurrying world; within, this quiet group. in Amsterdam. Spinoza, the " Father of Modern Philosophy," was born in Amsterdam in 1632, tbe son of a Portuguese Jew. Just out of this Hebrew quarter, in " Sint Anthonies Breestraat," No. 68, is the house where the great Rembrandt lived for many years. I scarcely think, should he come back to Amsterdam, that he would take up his abode again there. It might interest him to see, however, that a simple marble slab marks the spot What a search it was to find it! The Portuguese Jews are the diamond cutters of the city, and, in fact, seem to possess the secret of this delicate The splendid gothic arches and pillars rise ait. in their glorious symmetry about us.

The care here paid to the blind is especially worthy of note. I regretted that my limited time did not permit of my inquiring more definitely into the workings of the Maatschappig tot Nut van't Algemeen, or Association for the furtherance of the general good, which has its principal bureau in Amsterdam. It was founded by a Baptist minister in 1784, and its good workings is felt through all Holland. Its objects are, the raising of the standard of popular education, the circulation of good literature, the diffusing of knowledge generally, the promotion of good morals, the support of widows and orphans, and others dowry equally praiseworthy. The Seamen's Home is a fine building, erected 1856. I spent one evening in the brilliantly lighted Zoological Garden (one of the finest and best arranged in Europe), where hundreds of the good people of Amsterdam were gathered for a concert. The friendly and family groups under the arching trees made a charming picture. Here I noticed that nearly every one had tea, instead of beer, as in Germany. 1 shall always remember with pleasure my walk home on the same evening along the ship-crowded wharves. It was so still and peaceful and the air so balmy that I half fancied myself again in the tropics. The moon shone in all its beauty, and the river Ij, the arrowy masts of a thousand ships, the winding canals, the fantastic bouses, the grey towers, seemed transfigured in the silvery light. REMBRANDT AND THE PICTURE GALLERIES OF AMSTERDAM. It were wiser for me, in these brief and hastily written sketches, to avoid altogether mentioning the subject of Dutch and Flemish art; the field is too great, too important, in a certain sense too sacred, to be touched upon lightly and superficially. And yet I can scarcely walk with you through the streets of Amsterdam without for a moment speaking of Rembrandt, whose home was here. At least one-half your time in visiting the Netherlands will, I am sure, be spent in the Picture Galleries ; they are the rightlul glory of these little countries. To study Dutch and Flemish art, one must come here to the fountain-head. You may see scattered pictures of Dutch and Flemish artists all over Europe, but it strikes me that here alone you can rightly understand them. You walk the streets they walked, look upon the same faces which you see painted in their pictures —enter, as it were, into their very life. I can scarcely compel my pen to 19 1880. stay within its prescribed limits. The very mention of this subject seems like the opening of the floodgates, and the great waves of joyous memories, of the hours and days I spent in the compauy of Rembrandt, of Rubens, of Potter, Franz Hals and the other masters, rush in upon me, almost overwhelmingly. I would wish to avoid anything that might seem like sentimental exaggeration, but I can truly say that as I have come forth from some of these worldfamous galleries, I have with difficulty re- frained from shouting from very joy, and though months have now crept in between those days and these, I feel that the inspiration and delight they were to me then grows, like wine, stronger and sweeter with time. Amsterdam, as I was saying, was the home of Rembrandt, one of the greatest artists the world has ever known, —the Shakspeare of painting, as Tame so rightly calls him. He was born in Leiden about 1607, and died in Amsterdam, where he spent the most important portion of his life, in 1667. Everyone is familiar with his peculiar style of painting, the contrasts of light aod shadow, the illumination of one particular point in a painting. You will pardon me for giving one or two words from Taine's suggestive pages on this artist. They are themselves so exquisitely beautiful that they have run in my mind for days, like music : " Ho rendered this atmosphere palpable and revealed to us its mysterious and thronging population ; he impregnated it with the light of his own country—a feeble yellow illumination like that of a lamp in a cellar; he felt the mournful struggle between it and shadow, the weakness of vanishing rays dying away in gloom, the treoMouaness ofreflections vainly clinging to gleaming walls, the sum of that vague multitude of half darks which, invisible to ordinary it not for the near presence of amber and brown and dusky black shadows of unfathomable depth. It is this element of mystery which he holds over you like a mugician. But his power lies, most of all, in his nearness to nature and humanity. His paintings are, as it were, animated by some impassioned soul! With Rembrandt's name begins a long list of artist names which have a world-wide celebrity. I may perhaps recall a few by name—more is here impossible: Ruisdael, Ter Burg, Paul Potter, Gerard Dow, Jaa Steen, Teniers, Van der Heist. Amsterdam, with its numerous galleries, easy of access, furnishes for the visitor, whether his Stay be long or short, a rich and satisfying feast. UTBECHT. I went down by train one lovely moonlight evening to Utrecht, spent that night there in a charming little Dutch inn, and next day rambled about the old town. Old indeed it is, for it is one of the old cities of Holland, and that is saying much. In Utrecht is a famous University,"numbering something like 500 students. In Ecclesiastical history Utrecht has played an important role. To-day it is a charmingly fresh and cleanly city, beautiful with blossoming gar- dens and pleasant homes. 1 climbed up the long winding stone stairways of the Cathedral tower, and when once at the summit felt loath indeed to leave. The view is extensive, commanding almost all of Holland and other provinces over the border. The verdant landscape lay bathed in a delicious wealth of golden autumn sunshine, varied by beautiful groves of trees, through which the red-tiled roofs of villages and country homes gleamed in the noon-sunlight, intersected at every turn by winding canals and silver streams. The suburbs of the city are wonderfully charming. 1 rode several miles gaze, seetn in his paintings and etchings to form into the country, nnd it seemed as if the ena submarine world, dimly visible through an tire way was bordered by stately avenues of abysa of waters. On emerging Irom this obscurlawns, and the ity, the full light, to his eyes, proved a dazzling trees, beautiful gardens and shower ; he felt, as it were, flashes of lightning, comfortable often luxurious mansions and or some magical effulgence, or as myriads of villas of wealthy merchants. beaming darts." The finest collection of pictures in Holland is in Amsterdam, and the finest picture of the collection is the " Night Watch" of Rembrandt. It represents one of the ancient guilds of Amsterdam, and depicts its members in holiday attire, and is one of the most superb pieces of artistic coloring in the world. The figures, life size, seem fairly stepping out of the canvas to greet you. The effects of light and shadow are marvelous. In the Royal Gallery at the Hague is a striking painting by Rembrandt, strangely, painfully fascinating. It presents to us a famous anatomist of that day, surrounded by an eager group of listeners, before whom is placed a corpse, explaining the wondrous mechanism of the human body. Neat this is an exquisite picture, a the Temple." The Holy " Presentation inhigh Child and the priest are bathed in a flood of golden light. But I must not allow myself to specify. I know of no painter who has so strangely moved me as Rembrandt. There is something almost intoxicating in his marvelous coloring; you would be perhaps blinded and dazzled by his glorious crimsons and lustrous golds, were ZAAMDAM AND PETER THE GREAT. One could spend day after day making excursions by steamer, by sail or foot from Amsterdam out, and all of tbem pleasant and interesting. There is Hoorn, Pumerende, and above all funny, neat little Brock, which has the most evincible renown of being the cleanest place in t/ie world- Nearly all the inhabitants of this model little nook are engaged in the making of " Edam" cheese. The houses, most of them are picturesquely painted in white and green. Zaandam is an interesting town, only an hour or two trom Amsterdam by boat. The view of that city from the water in leaving was most imposing. Everybody comes to Zaandam to see the little log cabin where Peter the Great lived for a number of months, when he came to Holland to learn how the Dutch made their ships, and worked (his rank unknown) as a common laborer, in the sweat of his brow, on the wharves. The story is a very fine and interesting one, and will amply repay any one who looks it up in Russian History. One of the late Queens of Holland, a Russian Princess, bought ihe little hut and had a larger building constructed over it, in order to protect!, from the weath- �20 THE FRIEND, MARCH, er. It is a rough, little affair, with two rooms, one containing a huge fire place, the other being the bedroom of the Czar of all the Russias. It is visited by thousands of people. I chanced to be in Zaandam quite at tbe right time. It was '• Kirmess "or the Autumn Fair. The streets were alive with country people and filled with gayly ornamented booths, and all manner of " shows " All this gay color and life was a very pleasant addition to the picturesque town. BY WATER TO ALKMAAR. My longing to see in reality, in all its poetic charm here in Holland, what I had so often seen in the paintings of Dutch landscapes was fullyagratified one rare afternoon and evening between Zaandam and Alkmaar. It seemed as I stood on the deck of the steamer as if one lovely and characteristic picture after another whs unfolded before me. Our way lay partly on by river, partly by broad canals. Now and then great boats swung down the river, crowded with huge tawny, brown sails, which rose in a stately way against the fair and tenderly tinted sky of the coming evening. Some of them seemed to be the homes of entire families, and in their way had a <;ozy, snug hole, at least the parents nnd rosy checked children seemed contented. Quite down to the waters edge came pretty Bnd trim little gardens, and hundreds of bouses, (all of them wonderfully neat and orderly, and some bearing over the gable or at the side some pleasant and poetic name) brought the people near to me. 1 en" homes "of thethe family life—the gatherjoyed picturing ings in the garden, the father with his evening pipe, the mothers and daughters at their knitting, the boys engaged in their sports. Far off the horizon appeared spires of village churches, stately manor, houses peeped through the trees. Hundreds of windmills to right, to left, of all sizes and ages, rose like the trees of a forest along our way This is the very Paradise of windmills. Then came wile and glorious stretches of meadow land, where wandered the famous sleek and gentle-eyed cattle of Holland. Here and there were scattered groups of laborers, though the twilight had already begun to gather, others were leisurely taking their way homeward. The low lands were covered with silvery, fleecy bands of floating mist. The night air came in soft, cool waves over the water against the pale, rosetinted sunset sky came a shadow, taking as we drew nearer the forms of stately towers, sending us messages of welcome from the 188 0. of a shrewd obsaSrer in the Vice-ConsulGeneral of the United States at Melbourne. In a recent report to the Department of State at Washington, he comments on the peculiar relation in which the colonies stand towards the Union. They fight the Americans with their own weapons—high duties and partiality to native industry. It may be advisable, therefore, thinks the Vice-ConsulGeneral, to come to terms with them. At present they levy heavy taxes on all American produce—lumber, tobacco, tinned meats, hardware, tools, etc. It would be an obvious advantage to American manufacturers to have these obstructive duties reduced, and such a magnificent customer as Australia might be beguiled into reciprocity. Australia has one staple export, her unrivalled wool, which America is compelled to use whether she will or not. It cannot be produced in the States, and native wool growers are not in the least benefited by the high duty it has to pay. The Vice-ConsulGeneral proposes a bargain with Australia, in which, for the sake of easy admission of her wool into the States, she would favor the consumption of American tinned meats, tools and hardware at the Antipodes. Should the Department of State take action on this very plausible advice it will soon learn that its Melbourne agent has sent it after a willo'-the-wisp. It is a fundamental condition of self-government in every Australian colony that no differential duties shall be levied. The Scholar's Love for the Bible in the Original.

Honolulu. — , . — * » * �111 X FRIEND, MARCH. 22 We had the pleasure, by a recent mail, to receive two neatly written letters, one from a lady aged 86, nnd the other from a lady aged 92 both written in a style of penmanship which would make some young ladies in their school days quite blush. One resides in Massachusetts and tbe other in Kansas, to which she had just removed from lowa, a distance of 500 miles of land travel. What seems quite noteworthy, both referred to Hawaiians who visited America before the arrival of the missionaries here in 1820. Mrs. Nelson, widow of Dr. Nelson, late pastor of the church in Leicester, thus writes under date of Nov. 17 : "I have ever felt n great interest in the Sandwich islands, having known tbe first missionaries who went from our country to that place. That company collected and dined in our village before they left Thomas Hopu stood on the steps of a dwelling-house surrounded by the missionary group and many villagers, and offered a prayer ; so we took leave of them. On the 15th of October last I crossed the threshold of my ninetysecond birthday. Shadows have followed the sunshine, but I have had more lights than shadows in my pilgrimage. I have had a pleasant journey. Though the billows swell, we will trust the pilot that can carry us safely to the desired shore—the haven of rest." Our other correspondent in Kansas, thus writes : " I have always kept the mission to the Sandwich Islands in mind more than any other, having had a niece there, and all the circumstances of its first beginning being fresh in mind. Henry Obookiah having lived in my sister's family, and I occasionally visiting there, made lasting impressions." [From the Literary World.) 1880. before him, intending to read and make his memoranda as he goes along; but hour after hour slips by, and when the lamp is burning low, and the fire is dying out, and the book has been read from back to back, the critic rouses himself to the discovery that he has not made a single pencil-mark on the margin or on the blank paper which he so conscientiously placed upon his desk. The fact is, Miss Bird visited such extraordinary scenes, and accomplished her travelling in such an extraordinary fashion, especially for a lady, that she almost takes our breath away, and we simply read on and on the story which she tells and the pen nnd ink pictures or word paintings which she gives, with keenest zest, and in the most uncritical fashion possible. Miss R ird certainly is not a lady to be satisfied with a beat in a first-class carriage or a Pullman's car. She did the greater part of her journey in the Rocky Mountains on horseback, sitting astride her saddle like a man, wearing a dress (no doubt a graceful one, although it got almost worn to pieces before she had done with it) which she had had made for her and had used in the islands of the Pacific, and having no company but that of her horse and of such acquaintances, often of the wildest and rough est kind, as chance and the exigencies of travel compelled her to pick up. She found her way in a truly marvelous manner across vast and sometimes trackless wastes ; she pressed on, now through blinding snow and frozen rain which caused the blood to start when it struck the face, and then through blazing, torturing, sickening heat; she forded innumerable streams, lakes and rivers, sometimes crossing over on ice and dropping into tbe ice-cold water when half-way over, and then having to ride on with benumbed limbs throuch fierce cold and frost for hours before she could find the rudest shelter or the roughest food; she slept generally on hay or straw, and was fortunate when she could get the coarsest blankets, while the wind drove freely through the open chinks of the log hut in which she had found refuge, and in the morning she had to sweep the snow or mud from the floor before she could complete her toilet; her food was often not only of the plainest kind, but sometimes of the scantiest in quantity; once the A Lady in the Rocky Mountains.* Miss Isabella L. Bird is already known to a considerable and appreciative public by her •' Six Months in the Sandwich islands," a book which abundantly testifies to her enthusiastic love of traveling adventure and her very exceptional powers of vivacious description. This volume about her " Life in the Rocky Mountains" consists of letters only water she could get was about as thick written, so she tells us, '• without the remot- as peasoup, and she had to make her breakSomehow, the fast of the kernels of some nuts which she est idea of publication." manuscripts seem to have got into thehands discovered in the stomach of a bear. ot the editor of a popular monthly magazine, Yet even for hardships such as these she and we are not surprised that a glance from appears to have had a sufficient reward. his shrewd, observant eye whs quite suf- Amidst those mighty mountains she saw ficient to secure from him a request for the visions of splendor and of loveliness such as use of them in the pages of his periodical, comparatively but few are permitted to see and now, happily, they see the light in this on this earth.

Colorado of whom Bret Harte has given us such vivid sketches, and whose reckless dissipation, extravagant eccentricities and strange inconsistencies, in which a daredevil rascality is often blended with a certain simplicity and nobleness of nature, make them seem, to stay-at-home readers, like creatures of fiction rather than of real life. It is fair to mention, however, that, writing still of Colorado, Miss Bird goes on to say : "There is a manifest indifference to the higher obligations ofthe law,'judgment, mercy and faith;' but in the main the settlers are steady, there are few flagrant breaches of morals, industry is the rule, life and property are far safer than and Scotland, and the law ot**universal respect to women is still in full force." On the last mentioned point Miss Bird's testimony is repeated and emphatic, and reflects much honor upon the population through which she passed and amongst whom she lived under such very singular conditions, —traveling alone, without arms, and altogether in a way which must have struck even those most remote from the ordinary currents of civilization as somewhat odd. During all her strange adven- tures and rencounters, she met, she tells us, with " nothing but civility, both of manner and of speech," except in a solitary instance, which, however, was not a serious one. '• I have seen," she writes in her last letter, "a great deal of the roughest class of men, both on sea and land, during the last two years, and the more important 1 think the mission' of every quiet, refined, self-respect'ing woman, the more mistaken 1 think those who would forfeit it by noisy self-assertion, masculinity, or fastness. In all this wild West ihe influence of woman is second only in its benefits to the influence of religion, and where the last unhappily does not exist, the first continually exerts its restraining power." Midnight Gathering at Tapiteuea.– We have received a letter from the Key. E. T. Doane, who sailed in the Morning Star. It is dated July 9th, while the vessel was cruising among the Gilbert Islands. He thus writes : " It was pleasant to ' come to' under the lee of the island. 1 took the Captain's gig and pulled in with a native or two over the covered flats, and reached the native teacher's house—Moses. It was near midnight. Natives, as soon as they heard of our arrival, spread the report and came rushing together, having put on their Christian dresses—white shirts for the men and calico dresses for the women. Each came bringing a cocoanut full of native molasses. A beautiful incident was this, for somewhere or somehow the Lord had touched their hearts, and they were more willing to give than receive. It was not long ere we had n large company, all seated on mats and quite decorous. Do you know bow wild these Gilbert Islanders are ? But here, at midnight, we sang and prayed together. ' There is a Happy Land ' was the melody we sung. There, on ftbat wild sand-beach, there was singing ana praying to a late hour." �Places of Worship. APVERTISEI*II.stJTS. Seamen's Bethel—Rev. S. C.

Please give attention to the following Association notices : A weekly Thursday evening meeting for Christian young men is held in the side rooms of Fort Street Church vestry at 7 o'clock p. m. Let them receive support. The undersigned, the Eonplovment Committee of the Y. M. C.

Sanfobd B. Dole. E. Donscombe. B. F. Dillingham. The Y. M. C. A. Reading-room, on the second floor of the Sailors' Home, opposite the Post Office, is open every evening to strangers and ail who wish to come. In looking over a number of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. Watchman, we see notices of the Young Women's and the Commercial Travelers' Christian Associations—something new to us. Verily we are marching at quickstep. The time seems to have come when branch y. M. C. Associations on a small scale could be started with advantage ut points on the other islands—say Kohala and Wailuku. The present influx of strangers would give such Associations work to do, and work done insures life to any society. A small reading room could be started and a committee appointed to visit the sick, if nothing more. Our Y. M. C. A. has at least a member in each of the above localities. Let them consider this suggestion. Some thirty years ago, the pastor of the Bethel, one Sabbath morning, while on the way to the chapel, invited a young whaleman he met on the street to attend service with him. The boy did not attend, but after thirty years, coming back here as a lieutenant on an American ship of war, called upon the pastor, and recalling the long-forgotten circumstance, said that he had come to apologize for not accepting his invitation, which he had never forgotten, and the refusal of which had caused him uneasiness sufficient to keep the otherwise trivial occurrence fresh in his memory for the past thirty years. murder of Harris by Wil iams during the past month adds still further to the long list of evilsresulting from strong drink. " Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup. At the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." Many of humanity have fallen through wine since these words were uttered, and many more are yet to fall. It seems almost idle to say to young men, beware ! Experience, though black and bitter, seems the only teacher that the majority will listen to, and then because they cannot do otherwise. Again.—The The Library and Reading-Room Association.—After the many degraded and degrading sights and sounds that one meets with in parts of Honolulu of an evening, it is a pleasant relief to step into the welllighted room of this Association, on the second floor of Williams' brick building, there to take a view of the other side of the question. The Library, thanks to recent donations, now numbers over 1,000 volumes. Some fifty different periodicals and papers are spread out on the different tables, and the members number over two hundred. The number of persons who step in to read during the evening averages between 10 and 15, while others take their reading matter 24 ChYAMrsiooetucann'gHf onolulu. home. One member lately come among us has said that he thought he would have retreated from this place long ago had it not been for the Reading-room, and the general sentiment is that it is a step in the right direction. A Fair may be held some time during the coming months for the benefit of this, the public's adopted child, when all are expected to do the fair thing. Any who are hindered from doing their share in this manner might help as much and more by a donation of books to the Library. New Bedford, Mass., U. S., Feb. 6th, 1880. To the Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu : Dear Brethren 1 was very much interested in an account recently given me by a seaman about the Sandwich Islands. He gave me the name of Mr. Damon as the missionary. Mr. Damon may or may not remember him—William M. Taylor. 1 dropped a line to our city missionary, T. R. Dennison, asking the full name of Mr. Damon, and he called and gave me some copies of The Friend, of which one page, I observe, is conJucted by you. Now, I should like very much to put The Friend regularly upon our Association readingtable and to advertise it as one of the attractions to our rooms—a paper from the far-off Sandwich Islands. 1 desire to keep my membership posted on what is going on abroad in our line. : Give my hearty God-speed to Mr. Damon and accept it for yourselves. Sincerely yours, W. P. Webster, General Secretary of Y. M. C. A. S.—As an item of news, you may say P. that the State of Massachusetts has called, as State Secretary, Mr. S. M. Sayford. who was General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Syracuse, N. Y. A very delightful reception was given him on the evening ot Feb. 4by the State Executive Committee, in the parlors of the Boston Y. M C. Association. Brethren from-all over the State, and several from beyond her borders, were present. W. P. W. Glasgow, Scotland.—The new Association building, costing 8150,000, nearly all of which was contributed by the merchant princes of that city, was opened Oct. 17 by the Earl of Shaftesbury. They have 5,650 members on their roll; they have 180 branch Associations, 9,300 volumes in the library. They have 18 evening classes with 1,328 members. They received and expended last year about $8,300. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He does not appear to have originated any more satisfactory explanation of the phenomena that have been described tlmn others who have preceded him in this field of investigation. He admits, more distinctly than some others have done, a possible unknown force as at work in producing the various phenomena of table-tipping, lifting, rapping. But like those of his predecessors who have retained their good sense while trying to find out what is the modicum of truth in the midst of a mess of trickery, superstition, inaccuracies and credulity, he does not acknowledge departed spirits of deceased friends or notabilities as originating these curious phenomena. Rev. Mr. Frear preached on this topic in Fort Street Church one Sunday last month. He took the ground that it was diabolismrather than spiritism which was to be feared. He regarded as a species of blasphemy the overweening curiosity which prompts some people to open doors because they are shut, so far as this whole connected series of phenomena and beliefs may be regarded as an attempt to pry into the mysteries of the unseen and the future, which Almighty Wisdom and Love have not disclosed to human weakness. Elder J. G. Hook has been a sufferer from lung and head troubles since his arrival here, but is now hoping to rejoice soon in complete recovery of health and strength. 25 {©lb Series, M 37. The arrival of the "Morning Star" so early in the season has given opportunity for very thorough repairs.

Not to weary you with .anything like a prolonged description of the different cities which lay along my route. I will just sketch briefly a few of the more interesting points as my memory recalls them If 1 remember rightly, my last letter ended just as our steamer was nearing, in the waning twilight, the famous, valiant old town of Alkmaar, whose Cathedral towers rose dark and shadowy against the dull red ot the evening sky. After the busy und crowded streets of Amsterdam, those of Alkmaar seemed peaceful indeed in the hush of the coming night. It is a singularly picturesque place—perhaps the most so 1 saw in Holland. Its especial historical importance arises trom the brave defence made by its inhabitants against the Spanish in 1573. The old ramparts have been transformed into the most beautiful of promenades, shaded by trees of luxuriant growth, whose leaves, tinted by the early frosts, fell in a shower of gold with every passing breeze. It struck me as being one of the most delicious loitering places one could well desire Here there Punahou School closed last Tuesday for the Easter holidays, if so churchly a term can properly be applied to its short recess. We understand that so far only one of the assistant instructors has consented to remain. Dr. Wood, formerly of Honolulu, now of Jamaica Plain, has shown his appreciation of the importance of this institution by sending on a donation of Sl,OOO to its corporate funds. We hope that others, old patrons or alumni of Oahu College, will remember its needs and help it now to take the new start it needs to meet the increasing demand in this community for a school of high order on a popular basis. The new Library Association numbers already over 1,100 volumes on its shelves. It has recently put up shelving that will accommodate 3,500 books. Any present residents of these Islands, or former residents still retaining an interest in the prosperity of this community, will do a kindly act to help forward this enterprise by a donation of books or money. Many a poor fellow will be kept out of trouble by finding open to him so pleasant a place of resort. Seamen are specially invited to avail themselves of the privileges of the Reading Room, y Autumn Days in the Netherlands and BelgiumNo. 4. After one has become accustomed to long journeys by sea or land, there is something almost confusing in traveling in such a small country as Holland. You feel as if there is scarcely time to breathe between the different cities. You leave one depot to be whirled into another, and you must be on the alert to keep your impressions of different places from growing dim and uncertain. Holland is covered with a network of railroads, and swift-flying trains have taken the place of the old-fashioned canal boats, which enabled the traveler to leisurely watch the green meadows and picturesque landscapes which have here delighted artists for centuries. were no famous museums to claim one's attention, and the time could be given to the outer world, of which the work of the most famous painter is but a reflex. Canals cat the town in every direction, shaded with trees grown sleepy and drowsy with the weight of the closing year, and dropping one by one likewise their bronzed leafage on the current beneath. The bouses were as bright and clean as any housewife could �26 THE FRIEND, APRIL, wish, and even at this late season balconies and windows were bright with flowers. The morning air was filled with the music of bells, which guided me to the Cathedral, a grey, antique affair, built long before the Spanish guns thunderedabout the city walls. In fact, there is such an ancient atmosphere about it that in some magical way it seems to transform whatever comes within its shadow. I half fancied I had stepped back into some long-vanished century. I found myself at first almost alone in the vast interior, with its lofty white arches and towering organ witb painted front. Stately, awkward pews rose in impressive rows on each side and in front of the pulpit with its heavy sounding board. It seemed as if the worthies of other days, in their white ruffs and stiff black coats, would soon come in and open the ponderous leathern-covered Bibles, with their heavy clasps and dusty borders, which looked as if they had been closed for centuries. But while thus waiting, face after face rose into sight, whether from tbe past or present 1 scarcely know. Figures bowed with the years reverently entered and noiselessly took their places. Then came a tapping of many feet on the cold stone paving of the long aisles, and the most charm- ing of processions appeared. First the girls from the orphan asylum, I think, just over the way, theirround rosy faces bordered by the daintiest little white caps, which their grandmothers might have worn, and their shoulders covered with regular white capes, relieving the sombre blackness of their mourning dresses beneath. Then followed the boys with their masters. It was a picture which an old Dutch painter would hi. ye delighted in. It seemed as if it required all the solemnity of the place, the stately demureness of the straight-backed pews, and the ever-watchful eyes of the teachers to keep all this fresh young life in order, which was forced to content itself with twinkling in a score ofroguish eyes, dimpling in redstained cheeks, and smiling shyly out on row after row of childish lips. Then the organ notes pealed forth and the service began. Sometimes 1 ask myself if, after all, it wasn't a dream of old Holland I had under the white Cathedral arches in Alkmaar. The whole country in the neighborhood of Alkmaar, for miles around, is most interestingly historic. To the west was once the Castle Egmont, belonging to the family of that name, so famous in the history of the Netherlands. Crossing the long stretches of rich, low-lying meadow lands, you come to the grey sand dunes" of the " coast, near which many a hardfought naval battle has taken place. I enjoyed a little excursion by train to the far northern end of the Dutch peninsula, to see some of the enormous piers which have been erected here as a defence against the inroads of the stormy North Sea. It was a mild autumn afternoon ; the grey morning mists had lifted like a curtain, and the sea murmured softly, crooning its old, old song. It is at this northern point, commanding the entrance to the Zuider Zee, that the Dutch Government has built great wffarves and docks and erected important fortifications. But the principal interest of the region is the gigantic mole, which extends far along the coast, constructed of huge blocks of Nor- 1880. granite, and from its huge proportions seeming to have been constructed rather by Titans than men Pleasant as it is to wander along its summit in the genial sunshine, watching the lap of the quiet waters at its weedy base, it must be grandly more impressive to see it besieged on some November night by the white and savagely seething lines of huge breakers, which rise here like mountains. At its farthest end 1 found a superb 'iron lighthouse, recently constructed. To mount to its summit is work almost enough for one day. But it will pay you I think—the view landward and seaward, and the chat with the garrulous, good-humored old keeper, if you are fortunate enough to find him still there. He is a fine old specimen, as strong and true in his way, I fancy, as the granite mole which curves like a huge bow below. You see his father—years, years ago—went down in the cruel white foam just in front of the little fishing village he is pointing out to us, so that the son seems to have felt it as something like a duty laid upon him to rescue all who were in danger of sharing a similar fate, I could scarcely help envying this grey-haired, kind-eyed old man—not the medals and orders on his broad breast, but the memories of brave and gallant deeds which seem to encircle him like a halo. Just off the coast could be seen, now that the water was low, the tops of the masts of a steamer which went down here one dark night a year or two since. But no matter; the people,all that frightened, panic-stricken company, were saved. Our friend battled for their lives like a hero, God bless him ! And now, in his old age, tie still watches the grey sea with an eagle eye, and sweeps the horizon to watch the coming of some new gleaming sail or wreath of smoke. To his left lies the open sea j to his right the misty expanse of the Zuider Zee; not far away the island Texel, with its myriad sea-birds; to the south the fairest of Dutch landscapes. What an old familiar sound there is in the names of the cities which now lie along our route —Harlem, Leyden, the Hague, wegian Rotterdam, Delft. It may have been the Dutch blood in my veins, I scarcely know, but in some way or other I felt as if I were coming home again as these cities spoke their welcome to me. Harlem is a charming city—a picture in itself. (If you want a quiet, delightful little inn, exquisitely neat and sweet and clean, but in no way stately and grand, do go to Dc Gouden Leeuw," the Golden Lion.) "Those terrible old Spaniards meet you everywhere in your travels in Holland. But what superbly brave men and women they found ready to face them and the Inquisition here at the North. The very bare recital of the brave history of Harlem stirs and moves one like martial music. You may remember that the city was besieged seven long, weary, dreadful months by Frederick of Toledo, son of the cruel Duke of Alba. You may recall some of the feats of glorious courage of the citizens,—how even the women, led by the valiant Kenan Hasselour, mounted the ramparts, and over the dead, bodies of their husbands, their brothers, their lovers, fought for their homes, their children, their virtue. Let no one call their work in vain, even though Ihey were forced last to yield ; those seven months make me of the most inspiring pages of history. Though those bloodthirsty Spaniards did butcher the Commandant, the soldiery, hundreds and hundreds of citizens, the clergy, yet they were not in the end the victors, but the vanquished a few years later, as every child knows. Strange, after this baptism of blood, this wild, almost demoniacal fury of struggling hosts, this season of famine, of 'siege, of murder, thit the city ever could settle down to a golden age of peace and prosperity and grand art development; but such was the case. Here you see in the picture galleries the finest pictures of Franz Hals. The city itself is regarded as one of the handsomest of all Holland, and is most at s carefully kept. The most interesting point is naturally the great Square, where stands the Cathedral and many antique and picturesque buildings. On the Place is a fine bronze statue of Coster, whom the Dutch believe to have been the inventor of the art of printing. The Cathedral is rendered doubly interesting by the splendid organ, which was placed there in the last century, and was formerly regarded as the finest in the world. I chanced, fortunately for me, to be there at one of the organ concerts, which are given once or twice a week. Since listening to the wonderful music of the great Fribourg organ, in Switzerland, I think I have heard no organ music which has so moved me. It seemed to fill the great cathedral with hosts of melodious spirits, with the anthems of unseen angel choirs. Recently, most interesting discoveries have been made in the Cathedral. Beneath the white stucco and wash on the pillars have been found rich and elaborate paintings, and these are now being carefully restored. In one wall of the choir is an iron cannon-ball, which dashed through one of the high windows during the Spanish siege, and ever since then has been left in this peaceful resting place—a far better fate than it deserved. In visiting Holland, one is struck by the great fondness of the Dutch for flowers. Their gardens are roost beautiful, and nowhere more so than in and about Harlem. Here are some of the most famous flower establishments of the world, which furnish Europe, and even America, with bulbs and seeds. In fact, flower-culture and production are here carried on on a scale which is something perfectly surprising to one visiting these great gardens. Here you see not simply beds of flowers, but fields of hyacinths, of lilies, of pinks, of tulips. Late ss it was in the season, there were still brilliant autumn flowers in bloom, some of rare and choice varieties. One of these flower firms, that of Krelage & Son, publishes yearly an immense catalogue of their plants. They count their varieties by hundreds, perhaps thousands. The " Tulip Mania" of Holland, in 1636 and 1637, was a most singular matter. Rare and especially beautiful varieties of tulips were bought for fabulous prices. Some of the prices are astonishing. A Viceroy" (white with purple veining) was" sold for 4,200 florins, another for 3,000 florins; an "Admiral Liefkins" for 1,015 florins; a " Bellaart"for 1,530 florins, etc. Still higher prices were �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 27 188 0. sold the once dashing Count Budewde recognise houses, the people, the churches, look as i given for certain varieties which were castle should he come back again > they belonged to some old picture.

The present King is sixty-three years of age ; he has recently been married for the second time—this time to the young Princess Emma of Piedmont.

Here we have spent nearly two weeks, and are making our preparations to start on our overland journey on tbe Bth of March. The winter months are reported as having been exceedingly rainy, cold and unpleasant; but we have been highly favored in having a clear sky and most charming weather. It has been pleasnnt to meet many old friends and acquaintances. The daily papers report much uneasiness and excitement consequent upon the adoption of the new Constitution and the anti Chinese agitation. It is asserted their combined result is depressing to business and driving capital out of the State for investment elsewhere to the amount of $30,000,000.' It is believed that this agitation has about culminated, and reports come from Washington to the effect of a remodificiition of the Burlingame Treaty ; but that the Chinese are to be driven out of the State and country no one believes for a moment, although there may be a limit to the numbers allowed to immigrate hither. During our brief sojourn we have enjoyed the privilege of attending several churches and meeting many ministers of the Gospel, and among them several who have visited the Islands. Others express a desire to go, and probably Rev. Dr. Hemphill will go down in the May steamer. On the Sabbath following our arrival, the funeral of Mrs. Green was attended, and the following notice of the same we copy from the Hebrew of March 3d : The funeral of the young Mrs. Green, the" untimely death of whom in the Sandwich Islands we noticed in our last issue, took place Sunday last. Seldom has there been witnessed such a deepfelt sorrow as displayed by the many who came to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased lady. Among the. mourners were the children (to whom the late Mrs. Green had been a voluntary, kind teacher) of the Synagogue Sherith Israel. The funeral sermon, delivered at the grave by Rev. Dr. Vidaver, was most eloquent, and deeply affected all present." Our visit to Mills Seminary and Oakland was exceedingly pleasant. " The Island girls" form an important element in the school. On one evening while there, we listened to a most charming lecture on the " Reminiscences of Authors," by Mr. Bartof the Bulletin. He discoursed most lett, BA P.

We are happy to learn that there are many earnest Christian workers among the various cburc'ies 1,1 i!ns riiy. They are doing a good and noble work. An old friend whom I knew in former years has been doing a good work among the lads of the city. He has induced some 3,001) to sign the following pledge ; •' God helping me, 1 will hereafter abstain from the u»e of all intoxicating beverages, beer, wines, cider or tobacco. Nor will 1 indulge in profane swearing, stock-gambling, lying, stealing, adultery or slandering." We coifld add much more about efforts now being made to reform the wayward and assist the needy. We heard the Rev. Dr. Noble preach an excellent sermon on the " Sins of the City," and he- is to preach again upon the " Needs of the City." Although we enjoy the making of new acquaintances and reviving old friendships, yet we do not forget those whom we have left in our Island home, who rejoiced with us in days of prosperity and so tenderly sympathized with us in our sorrow. May peace and prosperity ever attend them. A Remarkable Indian Mission. BY PROF. GF.O. MOOAR, D. D., OAKLAND, CAL. Attention has lately been called to the condition of the Indians in Alaska Territory. Ten years and more have gone since the United States took possession of the country. Not until within two years past was anything done for the moral, and very little for the political, welfare of the population. The Presbyterians have now in operation a religious and educational work at Port Wrangle. Mrs McFarland, who conducts it deserves the warm recognition which she is beginning to receive. The number,of Indian and Aleutian population in the territory is estimated at 110,000. It is exceedingly interesting to note, in various reports which have been made by government officials, the warm praise accorded to an Indian mission «nd colony in Metluketla, in the neighboring region of British Columbia. Some three years ago, while our American Deputy Collects was at Port Wrangle, a fleet of eight canoes hove in sight. It was certified that the canoes came from the British town, and were loaded with goods worth several thousand dollars, which were bought at this missionary town, and were on the way to the Alaska Indians for sale. A clear case o( smuggling, thought the collector, and gave chase; but in vain. A smuggling missionary! That sounds rather unpleasant. But it is admitted that matters have been so loosely attended to there that free trade has never been regarded as a crime. On the same page which records the chagrin of the officer of our revenue, is paid the most decided compliment to the founder and leader of this Indian colony. The career and success of this missionary are full of interest and suggestion. Some twentyfive years ago, a gentleman was walking 1880. through the streets of Beverley in England. cry male ; settlements of all controversies by He heard a boy singing, whose fine voice arbitration or by law; the erection of neat arrested him.

We are pleased to know that the demand lor them as plantation bands and household servants is more than equal to the supply. With but a very lew exceptions, these people have given good satisfaction, and in theresponses which have been received to the circular on the subject issued by the President ot the Board of Immigration, it is emphatically stated that tbe South Sea Islanders are preferred to any other Immigrants. We look upon this work of procuring immi- received, and News has been received through Lloyd's of the safe arrival at New York of Hawaiiaoß as the Australia, in which the " American grants from a cognate race with tbe as intimately one of paramount importance, and Commission " of the Salvation Army were connected with the questions of tbe recuperation passengers.

Among the passengers on the last steamer from thmColonies, and proceeding on to San Francisco, was Pastor Chiniquy. He has been engaged in preaching and lecturing for some time past in different parts of Australia and New Zealand. On tbe evening of his arrival here, he addressed a congregation at Fort St. Church, taking for his subject Psalm 66.16. For nearly two hours he was listened to with deep interest and profit, as he related the story of God's grace. The trials, sorrows, joys and hopes of his eventful life, and in forcible "language urged upon his hearers the acceptance of Christ as God's great gift to man. gration to vigorously prosecute the work.

It is from these sources that the Fiji colonists obtain their labor supply, taking men only, And paying at tbe rate of £3 per annum per man. While the rate of wages paid here for labor is so much higher, it would be found in the end bad policy for us to bring the Islanders here on any such meager terms as tbey could be got for. By offering a rate of wages at tbe outset which is fair to both tbe laborer and tbe employer, we shall escape the liability to complaints and discontent in tbe future.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 40 Autumn Days in the Netherlands and Belgium— No. 5. THE CATHEDRAL AT ANTWERP. In Antwerp the writer's thoughts and then his steps turn first and naturally to the beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady," whose presence in the most "ordinary of cities, would have, I feel, a certain sanctifying influence, and here amid so many artistic and historic treasures, seems but to heighten and increase their beauty and charm. One grows unconsciously to long for the restful presence of these grand old cathedrals as he becomes more and more used to the worn paths of travel on the continent. They grow to have a certain singularly tender and welcoming charm after the rust of travel, the confusion and distraction of arrival. One seeks them out perhaps in his loneliness, in his strangeness, amid thousands of unknown and uncareing faces, and covered with the dust of wearisome travel, finds a soothing- solace in their hush and calm, in their guardian watchfulness; is lifted into companionship with all high and noble thoughts by the perfect beauty and symmetry of his surroundings, and the sacred and lofty symbolism which they express. Those who have once felt their " benediction " can never wholly lose its comforting power. The Cathedral of Antwerp enshrines the most beautiful painting of Antwerp's most highly gifted artistic son, the " Descent from the Cross," by Rubens. After the morning service, opportunity is afforded visitors of seeing the picture. One is almost startled and pained at first by the transformation of the sacred precinct into a picture gallery. A little army of copyists are ranged in front of the painting, busily working on their reproductions of the unattainable original. Beautiful as are some of these copies, even the unexperienced eye must detect the inferiority of their coloring to that in the work of the Masters. One of the artists touched and interested me in a peculiar way. Though he was only a copyist, for the time, he worked with tbe zeal, with the tender genius of some old cloisterer while illuminating some rare and treasured manuscript, in the middle ages. For the moment the glorious arches, the mighty Cathedral �THE FRIEND, M IV. 34 walls seemed to close about us, narrowing to n convent cell, the present faded out of sight and hearing, and one seemed to catch the sad, mellow chiming of the Angelus " in the still air, luminous with the dying glory ot some rare Italian day, calling our artistmonk from his work to the higher office of devotion. It must have been his priest-like garb, tbe worn and ascetic face, the rapt devotion to his work, the light which glowed in his great penetrating eyes, which produced the illusion. It must, as you see, have been a face or form more than ordinary which could have kept us so long from looking at the picture, which we had come to see. But this is the power which humanity possesses superior to art, however great it may be. In one sense there is a more fascinating charm in the humblest human being, against whom the world unceremoniously jostles, than in all the Christs and Madonnas that have ever been painted or carved. Perhaps it would be better for us if we thought less of the dried oils on the painter's canvas and more of the warm, rich blood of humanity which flows within and about us! Rubens certainly studied humanity, undoubtedly quite too often in its grown form, but in his better moods - with grand effect. The " Descent from the Cross," before which we are standing, is his master piece. It can scarce I fail to be familiar to all through the countless reproductions which exist of it. Rubens certainly possesses little of sound mysticism in bis art. Many find even his " Descent from the Cross unpleasant and revolting. On the contrary, it fascinated me strangely by its intense realism, by its strength, by its grand vividness. The actors were substantial human beings, it is true, and so should they be. The Christ is not the worn and emaciated figure of Byzantine art, but a strong, heroic figure, imposing in death. The main light of the picture falls upon tbe person of the crucified Christ. The wounded and bleeding form is being gently, reverently, tenderly lowered from the cross and received by loving hands. There is the Virgin Mother in her grief and sorrow, A|ary Magdalene, with repentant and adoring face bathed in tears, John, the beloved disciple," and above all the strong, vigorous, muscular form of Peter, raised above the cross, and in a characteristic way, shining and yet full of exquisite tenderness, aiding in this last service of love. The gaze of all present is centered upon this great central figure, and it is the gaze of loving devotion and tearful but confiding trust There are no mocking, hostile faces there, no stern and " " unrelenting soldiery. Tbe enemy sought His life ; the friends cherish with boundless tenderness the dead and wounded body of their Lord. It is an absorbing, marvelous picture, and moves one so deeply that the manyother paintings with which the shrines, altarsand walls of the Cathedral are adorned seem to make but little impression afterwards. The Cathedral itself is a worthy casket for so rare a treasure, it is in most beautiful gotbic style, and its sacred twilightgloom is lighted through lofty windows whose ancient colors still glow with jeweled radience. This now still and hushed interior has been witness to wild and turbulent 1880. scenes. The Netherlanders, cruelly oppressed and harrased by the savage cruellies of Philip, at last rose in wild revolt, and the people ravaged the churches, destroying the most precious works of art, venting on ihe images the hatred which they felt towards their unfeeling ruler. The fury of the iconoclasts, or image-breakers, lasted four days, and the destruction they wrought in that short time is well nigh incredible. In Brabant and Flanders they destroyed over 400 churches. In Antwerp their destructive rage reached its acme. Motley, in his history, sketches most vividly their attack upon the Antwerp Cathedral : " And now, as the shadows of night were deepening the perpetual twilight of the church, the work of destruction commenced. Instead of vespers, rose the fierce music of a psalm, yelled by a thousand angry voices. It seemed the preconcerted signal for a general attack. A band of marauders flew upon the image of the Virgin, dragged it forth from its receptacle, plunged daggers into its inanimate body, tore off its jewelled and em- broidered garments, broke the whole figure into a thousand pieces, and scattered the fragments along the floor. A wild shout succeeded, and the work, which seemed delegated to a comparatively small number of the assembled crowd, went on with increased celerity. Some were armed with axes, some with bludgeons, some with sledgehammers ; others brought ladders, pulleys, ropes and levers. Every statue was hurled from its niche, every sculptured decoration, however inaccessible in appearance hurled to the ground.. Indefatigably, audaciously endowed, as it seemed, with preternatural strength and nimbleness, these furious iconclasts clambered up the dizzy heights, shrieking and chattering like malignant apes, as they tore off the slowly matured fruit of centuries. A very beautiful piece ot architecture, the ' repository ' as it was called, decorated the choir. It was shattered into a million pieces A troop of harlots, snatching waxen tapers from the altars, stood around the destroyers and lighted them at their work. Nothing escaped their omnivorous rage. They desecrated seventy chapels, forced open all the chests of treasure, covered their own squalid attire with the gorgeous robes of the ecclesiastics, broke the sacred bread, poured out the sacramental wine into golden chalices, quaffing huge drafts to the beggars health ; burned all the splendid minerals and manuscripts and smeered their shoes with the sacred oil, with which kings and prelates had been anointed. In a space of time wonderfully brief, they had accomplished their task. Art was trampled in the dust, but humanity deplored no victims." Beautiful and richly adorned as is the interior to-day of the Cathedral, the exterior is not less so. The Emperor Charles Y. used to say that tbe spire deserved to be placed in a treasure-casket of its own. One can scarcely conceive of any more perfect— at once so daring and audacious in its upward flight, and yet so marvelously, so exquisitely graceful and delicate in effect. I found it the kindest, the wisest of guides while in Antwerp, wherever I might go, looking up I could see this glorious, arrowy structure, now near, now distant, and knew in which direction I must go. Fragile, fairy-like, a faint vision of beauty in the air as it is when the night gathers about it, and the silver stars, g leu in through its carvings and leafy blossoming traceries and ornaments; it grows most real and tangible as you mount ibe hundreds of steps which lead to the summit. The view is exceedingly interesting. On a fine day one can, with his glass, sweep nearly all Belgium, looking off to Breda, to Brussels, to Mechlen and Ghent. But one is especially attracted by the city, which lies spread out before him at his feet. SAUNTERINGS IN ANTWERP ! This is a delightful city for one who has the chinning gift of catching with pencil or brush " bits of beauty" in his daily walk, it must be I think, loved by artists. You come home from your ramble with a perfect gallery of pictures which have cost you nothing, and of which no one can rob you, without knowing just how, and you find yourself in front of the massive and stately Hotel dc Ville, dating from the 16th century. About you, standing in the open place, rise quaint and picturesque homes, many belonging to ancient guilds, and erected several hundred years ago. In all directions run narrow streets bordered by smaller inlervening buildings, even in their decay, keeping acertain dignified air, as if conscious of their long history. In these same busy streets, now full of friendly faces, there were sometimes, years ago, bitter, terrible struggles for life, when the Spaniards murdered the citizens, and the stones were red with innocent blood. The same sweet-toned bells which we hear to-day chiming the hours in their mellow melodious way, far up above us in the blue of the afternoon-sky, chimed as sweetly then above the savage contest raging below. The wharves of Antwerp are busy indeed. The river Scheldt is here filled with steamers and sailing ships of all kinds. The going and coming is endless. Sailors from all parts of the world are here. It is a Babel of languages. In the middle ages, too, Antwerp was a great commercial city. Under the reign of Chajjes V„ it was the most imposing of the world, even surpassing Venice. After protestant Holland, the change to Belgium, with its churches hung with paintings, gleaming with tapers and perfumed with incense ; with its black-robed priests, with its constant reminders of the Catholic faith, is something remarkable. One fancies himself transported to Italy. The streets are here and there rendered strangely picturesque by some carved and colored groups of the " Holy Family," of the Madonna and Christ, of the "Good Shepherd." A church door stands open, you catch the music of a chant in passing; you see some worn and aged face lifted in prayer; the smell of incense reaches you. The churches are numerous—to all the Saints, one would think. Some of them hold most beautiful paintings. In the church of St. James is the tomb of the great painter, Rubens, who died here in Antwerp, in 1640. The splendid palace-like home where Rubens lived, and which he delighted so in adorning, and which was stored with arttreasures, with pictures, with statues and �MAT, 1880. away.

It seemed as if the stately portraits on the walls warmed into life, as one gazed upon them, and out of their satins and velvets smiled in welcome to those coiners of a later day. There are here lordly banqueting halls, reception rooms and library. The mansion incloses a large central court, whose wall" are thickly covered with grapevines, amid whose clustering leaves look out ancient statues and busts.

The same sweet bells in the " Belfry of Bruges" chimes out melodiously the hours as of yore. The streets are peaceful and still as if some enchanter had doomed them to perpetual sleep.

If you come to Bruges some day, for which I hope with all my heart, then do go to the neat little Panier a" Or." You will have the grand "music of the chimes for company. How the mention of the bells of Bruges, of Belgium, fills me with a sort ot longing and homesickness, now so far away. One grows to love the chimes, to watch for their ringing. They seem to pour a flood of melody, of poetry into the most poetic hour and day, with their " deep sonorous clangor." It is perhaps well lam furced to say nothing in reference to Bruges. I might have proved wearisome in my enthusiasm, had 1 been allowed once to begin. Ostend lies not far away from Bruges, and is one of the most fashionable watering places in all Europe where the gay and brilliant summer life of the continent blossoms for a short time on the gray sands, washed by the waves of the North Sea.

How many places we would visit; we would go to Souvani, to Mechlin, to Sournay, but these for another time; and now over the border again, with a glance at Aix-la Chapelle, with its interesting cathedral and memories of Charlemagne, and we take breath again in the shadow of the glorious Cathedral of Cologne, and with heart and brain filled with sweet and pleasant memories of Belgium, look bark once and as to a dearly loved friend, send one more greeting, and " au revoir."

We wrote last from San Francisco, which place we left on the Bth, and arrived in New York on Monday, the 22d of March, via Chicago, Columbus and Philadelphia. During four days of our overland journey, we looked out upon one broad sheet of s<iow, spread over mountain valley and prairie. Without, tbe weather was cold, but within the cars there was warmth and cheer. The facilities for travel have become so systematized and arranged that the tourist has only to commit himself to the railroad officials, and he need entertain no fears that he will not arrive at the end of his journey refreshed rather than worried by his travels. We found attached to our train from Omaha to Chicago a dining car, and meals were served in the very best style of hotel life, and at very reasonable rates. At Chicago we spent the Sabbath, and a day of " holy rest," was most refreshing. In the morning we listened to a sermon from Key. Dr. Noble, and in the afternoon to a most admirable lecture by Dr. Gregory, at the Farewell Hall, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The subject was the Gospel of John, and it was treated in the most interesting and scholarly style. The city of Chicago has suffered severely from the effects of the fire and financial reverses, but the buoyancy and recuperative energies of the people are perfectly marvellous. In San Francisco, on a Monday morning, it was our privilege to meet the Club, composed of Congregational Ministers, so in Chicago, we enjoyed a similar privilege on Monday, the 15th instant. At these gatherings the peculiar phases of ministerial and parochial life are brought forward, essays are read and doctrinal questions discussed. At Columbus, Ohio, we enjoyed the hospitality of Dr. and Mrs. Scott, recently from Honolulu. The former is now a member of the House of Representatives, and deeply engaged in the politics of state and nation. He is Chairman on the important Committee of Appropriations for State Charities, including Asylums for the Blind, Deaf and Dumb, &c. During the evening of our brief sojourn, we enjoyed the rare privilege of visiting the Blind Asylum, where nearly two hundred inmates, study, work and wander about " in darkness." There was a most creditable entertainment, embracing exercises in Music, Mathematics. Geography, and one pupil read a passage Irnin Roman History, in Latin, from raised letters. The music was highly creditable. Some performers were quite proficient on the violin, and others on the piano. Some of the young ladies sang most sweetly. For the support of this admirable institution, the State of Ohio appropriates about forty thousand dollars annually. The inmates attend 1880. the several churches of the city as they are inclined. A rapid night's run over the Pennsylvania Central brought us to the beautiful city of Philadelphia. This is a city which we always visit with delight, and where our stay is ordinary too short. It may be a fancy of ours, but the quiet and calm spirit of Perm seems to pervade its atmosphere. The inhabitants do not appear to hurry and rush as they do in New York and Chicago. It is a city of churches, with tall spires and imposing dimensions. On the afternoon of our arrival, it being the season of Lent, we attended an Episcopal Church with an old friend, and heard a most admirable Evangelical sermon from Rev. Dr. Newton, the favorite sermonizer and writer for children, whose name is so intimately associated with the American Sunday School Mission. On the following Sabbath morning we listened to a sermon from the Rev. Dr. Willetts, one of the well-known ministers of the Presbyterian Church. He is a natural pulpit orator and most charming lecturer. It has been our desire for many years to hear him preach, having read with delight his book on the Miracles of our Saviour. Dr. Willetts is a brother-in-law of our old friend Chaplain Rose, of the IT. S. S. Pensacoln, whose visit at Honolulu will be remembered. We spent a most delightful day at his pleasant home with him, surrounded by his most charming family. He is now supplying a pulpit in the neighborhood of Philadelphia, but still attached to the navy. While at Philadelphia we were entertained by our old friend and host of Centennial Damon, Esq., one of Philamemories. delphia's most enterprising merchants. He was formerly in business in Pernambuco, South America, where homeward bound vessels from the Pacific often touched. We have had many pleasant chats about ships and shipmasters, well-known at the Islands. He is a merchant of large experience and far-reaching views, whose wisdom and enterprise are appreciated. Hastening on to New York our first enquiry related to steamers sailing for Europe. We were fortunate to secure our passage per City of Jiertin, Inman line, to sail for Liverpool on the 3d of April. During the interim, before sailing, we make a rapid trip to New England. As we go about this city we are more and more impressed with the greatness and magnitude of this London of the Western World. It seems to have doubled and trebled since we, fii-st came hither. Necessity being the mother of invention, while San Fiancisco may boast over her street railroad cars propelled by steam up hill and down, New York seems to have solved the problem of rapid passenger transit by her elevated railroads. They are a marvel and almost take away your breath, as the cars rush along at lighting speed over your head. It is quite astonishing how very naturally the traveling falls into the customs of the city; traveler one hour in the street cars, at another in the old fashioned Broadway buss, and again taking the elevated railroad and flying through the air. Such rapid journeying was not favor editorial correspondence, and we must close. S. C. D. New York, March 24th, ISBO MARINE JOURNAL. PORTFSHON.LU I. ARRIVALS.

The r»ins, the winds and atmospheric pressure have worn away the rocks or disintegrated them and rolled them into the valleys below, levelling Ibem up not THAT ISSUES a little. Nowhere was a sharp, jagged cone seen ; perhaps Tol on its northern slope may have the most of such an appearance. And yet, from the distance we saw the peak, the gntde to the shores did not seem to be very precipitous. These well-worn hills, —with the fact, too, that all of Ruk's main islands lie centrally within the lagoon, from BEING PRACTICALLY five to eight miles from the shores, with bat a slight fringing reef about them—seem to An Endowment Policy me to indicate the island to be the eldest born of the three sisters, Ruk, Ponape and AT THE Kusaie. Ponape has a large fringing reef within her barrier reef, and the barrier reef LIFE INSURANCE GO. THE ONLY~COMPANY TONTINE INVESTMENT POLICIES. USUAL LIFE RATES. �38 THE FRIEND, is only separated from the mainland some two or three miles, often less than this; while Kusaie, save only on its south and south-western sides, has but little lagoon, as her reef is mainly the fringing reef; subsidence has not yet taken place enough to give the pure barrier reef. But passing to Rule, and the barrier reef is vast. A small sea within washes the shores of the islands. It is a sea, in breadth from 36 to 40 miles. With thete facts we cannot but feel Ruk is older than her two sisters. It should be stated also that Ponape in her hills has quite a rounded, time-worn look; while Kusaie in all her cones and ridges is sharply serrated ; her hill-sides steep, precipitous, her valleys narrow. Is there anything in the fact, the nearer the great continent the older these islands ? Tbe discovery of this island dates back with but little doubt, 276 years—first by Quirosa, the Spanish navigator. Duperry visited it in 1624 ; D'Urville in 1828 and 1838; Lutke in 1828. It has been named Berg's Island, and Torres. Pndre Cautova, while at Guam in 1722, meeting with some Caroline natives, and learning from them them something of the islands, made a chart of them, quite eoirectly locating Ruk, but calling it Hogolu. Ruk, by the natives, is the proper appellative for the island, but the initial sound is somewhat like Svruk, or Truk ; but I think the general pronunciation by the natives was Ruk, pure and simple. And, as has been said, it is the name for the whole island lagoon, as Ponape is for that and Kusaie for that, while each island in the lagoon, large and small, fins its own name. The reef is extensive, sweeping nn irregular circle of 100 miles or more, pierced in many places for passages, its surface crowned with low islands, some inhabited, others not. The productions of Ruk should be abundant, for her soil is good, but they are not. Scarcity of food is a sod and common complaint of the native or the foreigner who may live there But the explanation of all this is inter-tribal wars. No tribe cures to cultivate more than will meet the more necess.iry wants of the people, lest an abun dance of food invite an attack from some hostile neighbor. No doubt the general indolence of the people contributes not a little to (his state of want. The productions seen were breadfruit, bananas, cocoanuts, sugarcane, taro grown in large patches, wild oranges of a more than commonly good quality. Fowls are but few, though it is said the wild China hen is abundant in the bushes. No pigs were seen, nor cattle of any kind. The domestic dog is there, though it does not seem to be common. Fish, though not abundant, are caught in the near waters. The woods tabound, so it is said, in wild pigeons. The lagoon is large ; large craft are needed to sail into it or across it. L >rge proas were seen stored in houses, with a very long and heavy paddle canoe. The Rukite is not a little of a navigator, making voyages to the Mortlock Islands, to the south-east 300 miles, and MAY, I 880. inferior to any native people I have yet seen in Micronesia. The house is low, roof quilo flat, thatched with a variety of the leaf ofihe sago palm, the sides only two or three feet high; ends closed up, save it small hole to crawl into; the floor of earth, unless some leaves are strewn over it. The bed is a simple mat; the sleeper, it would seem, without pillow or blanket, save as he makes use of his poncho or dress of native cloth. The family simply herd together, with ihe simplest means for cooking. The large proa house is the dwelling Of the high chiefs usually, and a little more comfort is here had, but as we saw it neemed but little more, minus quantity. The Rukiie's home is a dismal one, so it seemed to me ; but the Rukite himself, as I saw him, (so 1 may remark of the Mortlocker) taking him all in all, is the finest looking native we have. In stature he may be a little less than the Gilbert islander, as he is in largeness of person, for (he Gilbert islander often has a ponderosity that is just appalling; but the Rukite in complexion is of a fine saffron tinge, his form symmetrical, chest full, limbs round and of good length between joints, his step easy, his eye round and lustrous, lips thin for a Micronesian. nostrils also rather narrow, hair wavy and long. Many of the women were beautiful. The person of a Rukite is in full undress—the men, 1 mean —a tnaro only being the indispensable part of his attire. He often wears a poncho, made in its warp and woof from the bark of the hibiscus and threads of the banana stalk. It has quite a silk-like appearance til! he saturates it with oil and smears it with his yellow ochre. Around the neck long strings of beads, large and black, made from the cocoanut shell, are worn. When shining with oil they look like a small black snake coiled around his neck. And pendent from his ears hang heavy bunches of ihe like kind of beads, a tin or brass button now and then intermingled. The face is smeared with a pigment of red earth and yellow ochre, and so too nearly the whole of the upper part of the body. This adorning does not add much io the man's nor (he woman's good looks The women wear about the loins a piece of rudely woven native cloth, figured so as to look quite pretty. The upper part of the person is in full undress. Youth are without clothing usually. The Rukite in disposition is mild, and so in looks. His nature is mild and loving. As a people they are very impressible, easily led, yielding quite willingly to higher influences. In the moral make up of the people, they are as all heathen are. But it is a pleasant people to live among. The Rukite has been called a savage. Vessels have been warned not to allow too many on deck at once* There is perhaps some ground for this, for at different times vessels have been nearly taken. But this savageness is not the normal condition of tbe people. They have been led to this more, I think, by the ill-treatment of the foreigner than by natural disposition. As the Star ran in close to the land near to which she anchored, the natives fled to the woods and hills or hid away in the bushes. Walking inland and passing a dwelling would so alarm the family that all fled, if it in a corner. A savage, warlike, murdering people would not do this. The Star wus led on her mission by a friendly chief. The news of the missionary work in the Mortlock Islands had reached him. He left his own home, taking wife and child, and passed over (o a small coral island some 30 miles distant. There he met a Christian teacher who had been put there last year, heard him preach, saw his school, felt the new life he had brought to that people, and asked for the same for his people. Nearing the time when the Star would be at that island, ho returned again, and when he met us asked for a teacher. He was in earnest, and promised all that could reasonably be asked. We took him at his word, took him aboard the Star with the teacher with whom he had been staying, whose place was supplied by another, and sailed for his home. On the way we changed his appearance somewhat by dressing him up a little—the first step in the new creation that is yet to pass over him and his. En- tering the lagoon ol his island, the Star headed for his home, neared it, he standing on the deck to pilot the vessel, as well as to see his people. They were too shy, not in open space looking at the vessel, but from behind trees and bushes. They did tint recognise their chief, he was in foreign dress. Tacking about and pulling ashore, so soon as he saw some of his people he called to them and beckoned them out. They came on the rush, for their fear had fled, took nur boat as we landed, pulled it ashore, und we were all led up to the King's house. Our friend soon told his story and introduced us. The King smiled, shook hands with us, was pleased, captured. We made known the object of our coming, and presented a teacher and wife. They were welcomed, accepted, protection promised, and not that only, but help promised to build his dwelling, to build a meeting house, to feed and care for them the year through, all for the part the good man would do in preaching and teaching. We spent one Sabbath at the island. A meeting was held ashore. We were late in going, waiting for the tide. 'The King and our high chief had gathered early in the morning a large crowd, but our non-appearance alarmed them. The King and his Iriend took a canoe and pulled to the Star to see why we had not gone ashore. Such interest aroused us, and waiting no longer for the tide, we pulled ashore, and had a fine audience to talk to. It was an inspiring sight to see these, so lately called savages, and among whom one should not venture unless armed to the teeth—to see them listening so quietly, all unarmed. And it thrilled us to think here were planted the seeds of the new kingdom, yet to grow up, overspread these islands and tame these savage hearts, making them better men, better women, more truthful, pure, honest, kind, fitting them to live a better, truer life here, and above all, fitting them, washed in ihe blood of Christ, when life is over to go up and dwell with Him and all the Redeemed in the " Beautiful City" of our God. We shout all hail to this successful trip of the Star—she completely unarmed, save only as armed with God's word and His then again to other islands to the north and west. His craft is quite well made for voyaging on the ocean, modelled on the plan of the Marshall Island proa, but not so heavy blessed Spirit, and doing all she d id so quietnor so large. In his dwelling, the Kukitc is were possible ; if not, they crowded together ly, so easily, as if among a civilized people. �ADVBRTIBBMIsTTI. Places of Worship. Sramrn's Hktiiki. Key. 188 0. S. C.

The Y. M. C. A. annual meeting which came off this month as advertised, was a decided success owing to the efforts of the courteous host and hostess—W. R. Castle and Lady. The Secretary's and Treasurer's reports are published herewith. That of the President's being of general public interest, was published in one of the Weekly newspa pen, and is worthy the attention ofthoughtful, and thoughtless citizens. Of the present condition and prospects of the Association, the reports are the best indicators and to them we refer our reader. Secretary's Report for the past year, read at the annual meeting. The business man has stated seasons in which he sums up the thousand details of and here it might be well to give statistics. In '77 the average attendance was 9J, and in '78, 10J, which to use the language of the Chronicle of that time shows a small improvement " there having been one-third of a young man more to the meeting this year than the proceeding." In '79, there was still a small advance, the average being lljj, and this year we have come up to 15 5-11. It rests with the members of the Association to decree what the scribe may say at the annual meeting of 1881. There are some peculiarities in the increase of attendance ttiis year, which are significant and worthy of notice. Of the H9 members who joined before 1877, the average attendance has been about 4, while that of the 25 who have become members since '77, has been 9, making 5 over and above that of the older members, which has not been enough to form a quorum, A few years ago the Y. M. C. A. secured a colporteur to evangelize among the Chinese ; the second, ever on the islands. I need not speak of the state of the Chinese Mission all over the islands to-day, it speaks for itself. During the year, prisoners and the sick in the hospital have been visited, a reading room kept open to all, an early prayer meeting in Fort Street Church held every Sunday evening, and other work, done which, but needs time to bring to a working basis ; such as securing employment for strangers. What little we each have done this year as Y. M. C. A. members, would not in all, amount to 3 or 4 days work both in time and money, while the results must be lasting. Who shall then say, that we are not well paid for our trouble.

"Many years ago," says Dr. W. M. Taylor, while we were ministering to a church " in Liverpool, it was our melancholy duty to go to the widow of the first officer of the Royal Charter, and tell her that her husband was drowned. The vessel had gone round the world in safety. Her arrival at Queenstown had been telegraphed, and the sailor's wife was sitting in her parlour with the table spread in eager expectation ofherhusband, when we entered to say, that her husband had been drowned with more than four hundred others in Mcefra Bay, only two or three hours from the harbour. We never saw such agony as that face depicted when, grasping our hand in hers, she cried with a grief too deep for tears,' So near home and yet lost! " But what eternal honor shall hang about the doom of those who are " not far from the kingdom of God," hut whose good desires, and resolutions, and determinations shall only end in the disappointment of perdition'at last!
