They have also passed stringent prohibitory laws, making illegal all traffic in intoxicating liquor. The sanctity of the Sabbath is also enforced by imposing heavy fines for games or labor on that day. All friends of the Hawaiian people will rejoice at the action of the Legis- lature in putting an end to the attempt to overthrow the present prohibitory liquor law. It is to be hoped that tbe prohibition will be extended to the Chinese, and to other Polynesian races. The recent spread of habits ofintemperance and the notoriously abundant sale of liquor, have given just cause of alarm to all true friends of this Hawaiian people. The attempt to license the sale of opium is another of the persistent efforts so often made in these islands to break down the barriers of social order. The plantation managers cannot afford to let their Chinese laborers be ruined by the free use of opium. Though there are fewer foreign members of the Legislature than in previous years, the native members have thus far acquitted themselves admirably in the difficult task of legislating for a community of such varied and almost discordant interests as in this Hawaiian Kingdom. The reports presented by the Ministry have given full and satisfactory account of the administration of affairs for the last biennial period. There are many difficult questions of public Interest for the right decision of which the Ministry is held responsible. No question is of more vital importance to the business interests of the community than the introduction of cheap labor.

I am the more inclined to hope this, because our rambling steps lead us this time to lands so dear to us as the " Old Home," so precious by reason of a thousand historic, poetic and national associations, so consecrated by grand and stirring memories of the past, that it seems we are but fulfilling a filial duty in visiting it at last. I have felt peculiarly within the past few days, as one who, after a long absence, hears once more the welcome of home, and sees about him the dear old familiar scenes which have grown strangely dim with distance. I find it difficult to divest myself of the idea that in some far off past, 1 once existed here, and then had wandered into remote and distant lands. 1 fancy it is the generations of old English ancestors speaking to, or in roe—the response of my inner soul to the land, the sky, the flowers they know and loved— the music of our native tongue swelling up in its sweetness and purity from its original I feel the touch, the embrace, the springs. steward of the Queen's Hospital.

It would however have been far less impressive and complete had not Gladstone, one of the greatest men of our own or any age, led the attack. At the ripe age of seventy, with a past record so meritorious and complete, that it would have seemed sufficient to exempt him from further effort, he stepped forward to the front, with sling in hand, like some new David, in the first flush of youth. Day after day he has penned forth a volume of speech which has amazed his enemies and delighted his friends. His recent oratorical efforts in Scotland Bre, perhaps, for sustained force and endurance, without parallel in history. A recent writer in reference to the Liberal victory, says, using a Homeric illustration, which none could better appreciate than Mr. Gladstone himself. " It is Mr. Gladstone's voice which has roused the country, and Mr. Gladstone's conviction which has carried it. Like Achilles when he left his tent, his mere cry scared the victors as they then thought themselves, in the full heat of their assault. Like Achilles when he entered the battle, everything has gone down before him, or rather everything has seemed to ally itself with him and his cause." It is then no exaggeration to style him the '• Hero of the Day." It has been a source of no little satisfaction and pleasure to us. that we have been privileged to see Mr. Gladstone, at the moment of acknowledged victory, under the most agreeable circumstances. Inspiring as heroes may be as described in rhetoric verse, or perpetuated in sculptured marble, a real hero gains, rather than loses, breathing, living, acting before you. Leaving now the bare recital of political affairs, let me give briefly the record of a charming afternoon's excursion, which brought us, to our great surprise and delight, face to face with the first and foremost man of England at the present time. We learn, ed with pleasure from the kind host and hostess, whose thoughtful attentions and graceful courtesy, are fillrng our days, just at present with so much that it is now delightful experience, and will be ever dear and precious in the remembering that Hawarden Castle, the home of Gladstone and his family, lay only a few miles away, and that an excursion thither was planned for us. This was quite enough to set our ■liberal" hearts beating with eager anticipation. At least we were to see the Castle that held the Chieftain, who ruled the land. But fate, which is oftentimes more loving than our fears, had something better still in store for us. Yesterday we drove over the Welsh hills, to Hawarden, with the sweet, fresh air of the spring in our faces and a quiet gray sky over our heads. Our way lay through a splendid stretch of country, with hills on every side, softly veiled in mist. Here and there we saw churches whose towers rose out of the peacelul landscape, guardian like, as if indeed they were watching over the hamlets, nestling beneath them with a certain quaint tenderness of their own. At last emerging from the forest we caught glimpses of a little village perched upon a. hill, and then the Castle gates, �mantled with ivy, appeared, and before we knew it our horses stood before them. We thought it must have been our good fortune to have come just in time for a Welsh wedding, for the main street of the village was gay with flags and mottoes, and garlands of green. Little knots of the villagers stood together busily talking and waiting. But our joy was soon still more increased on hearing that we had arrived at the moment, not of wedding, charming as that would have been, but to see the " welcome home" of a successful Liberal candidate, and he a son of Mr. Gladstone. I scarcely think in all our English visit anything more uniquely interesting than this afternoon's celebration. It may be very probable that we shall hear Mr. Gladstone, at some great distance, speaking eloquently enough on some important measure, but here we had the pleasure of standing side by side with him, speaking with him, seeing him in the midst of his people and family, with radiant face welcoming home his son, who is following so worthily in his father's footsteps. With a little waiting the throng grew larger. Then Mr. Gladstone, with his wife, appeared among the people, and soon up the village street came the band, filling the quiet afternoon air with a burst of patriotic and martial music, and following this, a larger crowd of country folk, with laughter and shouts and cheers. The horses had been taken out and the men were pulling the carriage, where with traveling trunk before them, young Mr. Henry Gladstone, fresh from his successful election in East Worcestershire, and his young wife, were enthroned for the time as on a triumphal car. I wish I could paint, even approximately for you, the scene. As a bit of old England, it was unsurpassed. In the centre stood the young politician, raised in his carnage, above the heads of the crowd, thanking the villagers and his family for their kind welcome; beside him his wife, a daughter of Lord Blantyr, who, with wifely and womanly zeal had accompanied him through all his electioneering efforts. Amid the crowd, shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the village, stood the great Mr. Gladstoneand his wife, he, with his head uncovered, calm, dignified, elegant in his manner, she, with her face beaming with joyful feeling and beautiful with her motherly interest, a noble pair, I thought. About us was the people, now silent, earnest, attentive, now breaking out into cheers and cries of approbation and jubilant laughter at some happy turn in the speech. There were strong, vigorous faces in the throng. At our side I noticed a sooty and grimed miner from a neighboring colliery, at the foot of the hill, with his safety lamp still on, standing near an antique carved stone fountain. There were rosy cheeked matrons and maids, and white bearded men. Faces looked out from upper windows, overhanging the street. It was a characteristic, odd little company. Yellow cockades ornamented some of tbe caps, yellow flags waved in the air, and bright primroses and daffodils gave a jaunty dash to many a button-hole, and over all hung the grey, soft curtain of the April sky, and the wind stole softly through the neighboring forests, brightening beneath the touch of the coming summer.

We overheard a conversation the other day in which the old delusion came out, as fresh as ever: all, it don't " After matter what a roan believes if he only does right." We passed on our way, wondering if the speaker would be willing to apply his principle to anything except religion. Does it make no difference in a man's business operations whether he believes in honesty or knavery ? And shall it be said that it makes no difference in a man's character and destiny whether he believes in virtue, goodness and righteousness ? Does it have no bearing on a man's daily life to believe he shall reap what he sows ? Is there no —B. ¥ T. inspiration to right doing in a firm belief in a holy, just and merciful God ?

Since our last we have made a rapid run through New England and returned yesterday, April Ist, to New York, to make our preparations for sailing to-morrow for Liverpool per City of Berlin, Inman Line. ,We found the weather of March fearfully cold and while in New England we experiencet a snow storm, covering the ground to the depth of six inches. When in Holden, our native town, we had several sleigh rides thus reminding us of the olden times' " when a youth we enjoyed all that was to be derived from the pleasures of winter and the merry music of the bells. There is a charm about New England which natives of this region experience, whether they visit it in summer or winter, spring or autumn, During our brief sojourn in Boston we met many of our old Island friends who have returned to Boston? among them Capt Brewer, Dr. Wood, Mr. Austin, W. T. Brigham, Esq., and others. It was our privilege to dine with General Armstrong st Mr. Austin's. We were glad to learn that he contemplates a visit to tbe Islands the coming summer, where we feel fully confident he will receive a most cordial welcome. He is a most loyal Hawaiian, and does not ignore the fact that a youthful training on Hawaiian soil and his connection with the Hawaiian Board of Education, contributed in no small degree to fit him for his present position of eminent usefulness. He is full of philosophy about races, including the Hawaiian, Chinese, Negro as well as AngloSaxon. We are rejoiced to learn that there are some live men who have been born at the Hawaiian Islands. During our first visit to New York we enjoyed the privilege of hearing a lecture delivered at the Hall of the Y. M. C. A., before the students of the Union Theological Seminary, by the Rev. R."S. Storrs, D. D.„ of Brooklyn. It was the first of a series on the " Evidences of Christianity," on what is styled the Ely-Lectureship. It was a most able and interesting lecture delivered in a peculiarly graceful style. Dr. Storrs is considered as among America's ablest and most eloquent pulpit orators. We remember him as a student at Amherst nearly fifty years ago, and it is pleasant to witness that, with increase of years.there has beenacquired a maturity of views and opinions, which place him among the very foremost of the clerical profession. Among those upon the platform we noticed the venerableDr. Adams, Prof. Schaff, Dr. Prime of the Observer, and other distinguished men. It was during our visit to New England that Easter Sundsy occurred. It is quite noticeable how general that day is now ob- �46 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1880. served in many of the Congregational dropped the name of' Whisky Bill' right and forever."

" And so you left your motherless children could not induce Christ to go into the theatre with me when I was earning bread for my wife and little ones, you cannot do it if you go for pleasure, and pay fifty cents for your seat."

REV. J. H. BROOKES. 7.50. First, it was a personal salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not another's faith, but her own. Second, it was salvation by believing. "Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not her faith and repentance, nor her faith and love, nor her faith snd good resolutions, but her faith alone. Third, it was a present salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not that Peter and James and John were saved, but she herself, a little while before an outcast sinner, was saved. Sixth, it was an active salvation. " Thy faith hath saved thee ; go." It was not that she was to sit down after that eventful interview in idle self-indulgence, but she was to be engaged always in the Master's service. Seventh, it was a peaceful salvation. "IfThy faith hath saved thee ; go in peace." ever her peace was disturbed for a moment, it would come back again when she remembered the unfailing word of her faithful Lord. " Being justified by faith, we have pence with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. v. i.)—The Watchman. There is a judge in the city of Hudson, U. S., who both fears God and regards man. In sentencing to death a criminal found guilty of the murder of his wife, Judge Osborn concluded with these words of remonstration, rebuke, and Gospel invitation, to the murderer:— We have been pained and grieved to hear that your previous character has been bad, that you have not lived such a life as you should, to command the respect of those who reside in the same community, or in the community adjoining that of yourresidence. We have been grieved also to witnes-s the indifference which you have displayed during the progress of this trial—the indifference which seems to have been manifested by you from the hour of the commission of this crime down to the present time. I trust that from this time you will give up this indifference. Attempt now to soften your heart. Listen to the appeals that may be made to your conscience by the Christian men and women of this city, who, I have no doubt, will be glad to visit you, will be glad to do all in their power to bring you to a better state of mind. The law. more merciful to you than you to your victim, gives you ample time for repentance. Bear in mind that there is a fulness and freeness in the salvation which Christ purchased for us, and it is ample and sufficient to meet your case. You will remember that the Saviour, while suffering the most terrible agony on the cross, prayed to HisFather in heaven that He might forgive His murderers, for they knew not what they did " Then you may hope for pardon if you heartily repeot and seek for- " giveness. in the Other Country.—A distinguished man lay on his death-bed, when a great mark of distinction and honour was brought to him. Turning a cold glance on the treasure he would once have clutched with an eager grasp, he said, with a sigh, ''Alas! this is a fine thing in this country, her faith might save, or shall hereafter save, but I am going to a country where it will be but it had already saved, the moment she of no use to me." No Use believed. Fourth, it was a perfect salvation. Thy faith hath saved thee." It was not that her faith had helped her, or started her on the road to glory, but it had completely saved her from the curse and consequences of sin. Fifth, it was an assuring salvation. Thy faith had saved thee." It was not only that " " We must not hope to be mowers And to gather theripe gold eara, Until we have firstbeen sowers, And watered the furrowswith tears.

We have read with great interest, the report of the Judiciary Committee to (he Legislature, on the restriction against the use of spirituous liquors by native Hawaiians, and heartily endorse the sentiments therein expressed. In his report, Mr. Gibson states that the Hawaiian Government is not bound by any treaty relations which would prevent its Legislative Assembly from imposing restrictions by law in respect to the use of intoxicating liquors upon persons of any nationalities, even upon those with whom our Government has treaty relations, if deemed advisable to do so for public welfare. We sincerely hope that a law will be passed, during the present Legislature, that will prevent the sale of all intoxicating liquors to .every Chinaman on these islands. The community is not, and the Legislature cannot Be ignorant of the great evil that is being done by the sale ofliquar to the Chinese. From Hawaii to Kauai, case after case is shipped to them every week. In many places they sell it openly to any one who wants it, and the natives can get all they desire, without any difficulty. Drunkenness is seen daily, and is on the increase. The community is looking to the Legislature, and expect that it will pass a law that will meet and remedy this evil. The fair of the Library and Reading Room Association, took place at their rooms, May 20, 21, 1880, and was a complete success, in every particular, far exceeding the expectations of the most sanguine. For nearly three months, the nimble lingers and busy heads of the ladies, who had the matter in charge, were devising, preparing and perfecting arrangements for its successful accomplishment. Too much praise cannot be lavished upon them for what they have done. The net proceeds will amount to a little over 92,400. This will enable the Association to pay off its present indebtedness, and leave a large balance on hand, to purchase books, fkc, from time to time, as shall be deemed necessary, for the further progress and advancement of the Association. We feel that the successful results of the fair have been a public recognition by the community, of the necessity and usefulness of the Association to our city, and their wish that it may continue to grow and prosper, year by year. It may be a matter of interest for the ladies of our city to know, that they can become Members of the Library and Reading Room Association, as well as their gentlemen friends. The dues are placed at the moderate sum of fifty cents a month, entrance fee, $1.00. We already have five lady members on our list, and we hope to have many more in the future. Electric Light on Shipboard.—The Inman steamer City of Berlin, which arrived at New York, recently from Europe, was lighted during the voyage by electricity. Four lights were placed in the saloon and two in the steerage, each having a light of 400 standard candles, the apparatus being driven by a small four-horse power engine. The experiment proved such a success that the delighted passengers presented an address of thanks to the Inman Company, through Capt. Kennedy, commander of the vessel. President Seelye, of Amherst College, not frightened by the spectres which some Christians conjure out of the speculations of modern scientists. He says in a recent letter to a former pupil: " Remember that evolution, without a previous involution, is impossible; and to derive reason from unreason is absurd." This is another way of putting the old proverb, " You cannot get more out of a bottle than was put into it." is We had a Rouse-ing sermon from pastor, last Sunday evening. our Makawao Golden Rule.—When Christianity gives as warm a hand, as pleasant a face, and makes its place of worship as inviting as theatres, billiard halls and liquor saloons, there will be less poverty and crime charged to ruin, and more credit due religion. 48 AsYCMochoiearutnnH'gf onolulu. The P. C. Advertiser of the 29th ult., informs us that a bill to license the sale of opium to Chinese in the Kingdom, is under discussion before the Legislature. The purport of the bill as explained by the P. C. Advertiser is certainly a very weak one, and we hope tbat our Legislators will be wise enough not to pass such an act. The present law on our statute books is a good one, and the P. C. Advertiser says, that according to the best testimony tbe country can produce, it is very effective in discouraging the use of opium amongst the natives at least. Certainly this is reason enough why the present law should not be repealed. The Chinese will get opium any how, by hook or by crook, our duty is to try as far as lies in our power to prevent its reaching the natives. Let the present law stand. We are glad to welcome to Honolulu Mr. James A. Martin, who arrived by the last trip of the Discovery. He comes highly recommended by many pastors and teachers in New York City, and Brooklyn, as an earnest Christian worker. He has been engaged in Sunday School work for 27 years in the latter city. He made an interesting address to the Kaumakapili Sabbath School, Sunday morning, May 23d, and at Maemae Sunday School in the afternoon of the same day. He is desirous of obtaining employment here, and Is anxious and eager to take hold, and assist us in our Sunday School work here, as soon as a permanent situation has been secured. We understand that a petition has been presented by the Ladies Stranger's Friend Socieiy, to the Legislature, asking that a part of the hospital tax be set aside, as a fund for them to draw upon, in caring for the many indigent foreigners increasing in our community. The finances of the society have been heavily drawn upon of late, and they need assistance. Their request is a most worthy one, and we hope it will be cheerfully granted by the Assembly. We can all afford to speak a kind word now and then, to strangers in our midst. It does not cost us anything to do it, and it may cheer some despairing heart. A New Bedford paper says that the Post Office department has made a decision by which second class matter can be sent to the Hawaiian Kingdom at the domestic rates prescribed by the act of 1876. This reduces the rates on periodicals materially. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The attendance at all the meetings was very large. The most important change to be noticed is the resignation of Rev. A. Bingham as Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, on account of continued feebleness of body and voice. Mr. Bingham however, continues to reside in Honolulu, in the service of theTA. B. C. F. M., devoting himself to the preparation ofbooks in the Gilbert Islands language. Rev A. O. Forbes of Hilo, the new Secretary, is expected to enter on the duties of the office about the first of August. Miss. E. K. Bingham has also resigned the charge of Kawaiahao Female Seminary. The Trustees are anxiously seeking some one suitable to fill the vacancy. The Morning Star sailed on the 21st. A larger crowd than ever before gathered on the vessel and the wharf to witness the farewell services at the departure of the Missionaries, who go to the Gilbert Islands to give new impulse to the work there. Messrs. Taylor and Walkup with their wives all expected to open a Training School on Apaiang; and the Hawaiians who went out, Rev. S. Kahea Maunaloa and wife, are to be located with them as assistants in the school. The vessel was heavily laden with the usual supplies for the missionaries, and lumber for new dwelling houses. The missionary packet is provisioned this year for a ten month's voyage. Rev. J. F. Whitney and family are expected to return in the Star for a visit home after ten years' labor on the Marshall Islands. \m Series, gal. 37. RAMBLES INTHE OLD WORLD- No. 42 IN THE LANDS OF THE ROSE AND THE THISTLE. No. 2. Rarely have I known a day more fair, more full of a tender, sunlit beauty than that which brought us from England to Scotland. We left Liverpool in the morning and long before the twilight had gathered about Arthur's Seat," we were in Edinburgh. I could have wished It might have been possible to linger amid the classic region of the " Lake District," at whose hills and mountains we were permitted to gaze from a distance. Even in passing, it was a pleasure to feel that Windermere, the " Queen of all " the Cumberland Lakes," lay peacefully sleeping in the hush of the noon-tide and the beauty of the opening spring, very near at hand. I could fancy that the spirit of the singers, who loved this region ao well, rested in a way of blessing on the scenes which filled them with such high and great thoughts, and which they have painted so vigorously, so tenderly, so truly for all the world. Wide fields growing softly green underthe verdant touch of the spring, sweep away to low foot-hills, rising toward heights beyond whose curving lines, softened still more by the tremulous haze of the warm mid-day, struck me as peculiarly lovely and graceful. It is scarcely to be wondered that Wordsworth and Coleridge and Southey loved these peaceful yet inspiring scenes. As we crossed the Scottish border the whole aspect of the country seemed to change as by magic. The tilled English fields, bordered by hedges, gave way to grassy hillsides, unbroken by dividing lines. Trees and shrubbery yielded to clustering growths of furze and heather. The blue sky grew of sudden grey, and veils of mist drifted down to us, and great rain drops blew with the wind through the openings in the hills. There was a freshness, a breezy healthfulness in the very air. which spoke to as from the first, of the Highlands. But before we reached Edinburgh the clouds parted and the evening sun came out in its glory, lighting the city with rarest beauty. We are glad to welcome back to the islands for a brief visit, Gen. S. C. Armstrong, son of the honored missionary who had charge for so many years of his life, of the department of public education in this Kingdom. Twenty years of absence have witnessed many changes, alike in Hawaii nei and in the United States. But the grey hairs that have begun to show themselves are now old veteran's war-worn locks. The same boyish ardour, the same restless energy that characterized the youthful editor of a score of years ago, are characteristics now of the honored educator, who has shown the people of the Southern States the value and of common school education, The Trustees of Punahou School the methods common sense and on Christian in managed have sold Spreekles, Esq., for $5000, principles. eight lots of land, each 200 by 200 feet, Under the auspices of the Y.

The Castle of Dreghorn stands on the curving slopes of the Pentlands, an hour or so from Edinburgh. It is a fine spacious edifice, partly covered with ivy, with tower and turrets and arches, strong and stately, and gray without and bright with all cheer and home-beauty within. It has seen the Pentlands changing from brown to green for something like two hundred Springs! Glorious stretches of woodland lead you off on either side, while tlown to the murmuring stream in the hollow below sweep away the queenest ot meadows, with here and there stately drooping trees, and varied with wandering whitewooled sheep and capering lambs. Passing down the long drive you come to the ancient Loudge," with its stone turrets half smoth"ered in a wealth of the richest ivy. Still farther on are the cottages of the tenantry and the village of Collington down in the valley, or clinging amid the trees to the hillside. And what a magnificent reach of country spreads itself out before you on every side. There in the foreground, like some mighty gulf of tenderest green, lighted by bursts of splendid April sunshine, and deepened by the shadows of drifting clouds, lies a superb forest ridged, village dotted plain. Then beyond this, where the sun comes out and the clouds part at its coming, may be seen still, motionless in its verdant setting, like a silver mirror the Firth of Forth in the distance. Beyond this forming our farthest horizon, rise higher peaks in early mornings, sometimes white with newly fallen snow. But fairest of all in this fair and goodly landscape, at your left the unrivalled beauty of the Scottish capital, watched over by its guardian hills meet you. You should see it from this point, now lost in the shadows or showing faintly through passing veils of mist, now rising triumphantly out of the cloudy depths a glorified golden city, its towers gleaming in the radiance of the high noon, glittering and luminous. Beautiful as was this outer world, we learned to look with delight to the home- coming, after days of pilgrim-tours and of historic wanderings, and to the welcome awaiting us within the Castle. Blessings on this Christian Scottish home, and their kind and generous hearts whose warmth and sympathy and gentle courtesy made us, strangers at our coming, feel like kinsfolk when we parted. IN AND ABOUT EDINBURGH. I am in no way faithless to memories of other scenes which have charmed me, nor am I leas in love with certain places which have in other days given me much delight, when I say that Edinburgh is, without a word of question, the most beautiful city I have as yet seen in Northern Europe. Those of the South I have still to see. I would not even except Geneva, with its beautiful lake and noble mountain views, nor Stockholm so proudly cresting the deep blue waters of Malar. From the first cloudless sunset of our arrival till the day of our leaving under the blue sky of early April, I felt the presence of this perfect, queenly city as a perpetual joy and inspiration. Were it other- JULY, 18 80. wise than beautiful, it would be strange. Its situation is most picturesque and abundantly adapted to display to the best advantage the unusually fine architecture of the city. By this kindly help of nature, every- thing of man's devising is enhanced a thousand fold. Even the most prosaic edifice receives something of a poetic beauty and finish from either its surroundings or the point on which a kindly necessity has compelled it to rest. Then, more than this, Scottish taste has budded and blossomed in this austere north, and under gray skies, into a beauty and grace, which awakes in every visitor the most astonished admiration. You wonder that amid the influences of Scotch Theology and Metaphysics, this fair city, with its numerous statues and inspiring monuments and its stately edifices, suggesting the perfect temple of classic and heathen Greece, could have been planted on these Scottish hills. Edinburgh is the most graceful and winning paradox I know of. The city is divided into the old and the new town. Between these lies a rocky ravine, which has been transformed into most beautiful gardens, open to the people. On one side rises a huge rocky crag, which is surmounted by the immense Castle of Edinburgh. From this you pass down into the long, narrow streets of the old town, with their towering, many stoned houses. Facing the Castle and across the valley lies the principal street and promenade of the city, and one of the finest things to see in all Europe, Prince's Street. Edinburgh fairly teems with historic associations, and the stones of the pavement seem to have voices. Here, you re-read half of Scottish history; here, kings and queens have lived, and here a portion of the romantic and melancholy drama of Queen Mary's life was enacted. Holyrood Palace abounds in interest for every visitor. I wish we might linger longer here. The tapestries, the hangings, the furniture are still standing in the palace rooms as in the days of the unhappy queen. You are shown the little supper room where Mary was sitting with fiizzio, when Darnley and the other assassins stole up the dark and winding stair-way at the side, lifted the now faded arras, and rushed upon them. After these long, long years there seems still something uncanny in the blood-stains in the hall beyond. In the quaint old High street still stands the house of John Knox, the Reformer. You can fancy him walking down the long street to the Palace, where Mary gave him, far from loving welcome. In one of the market places is a carved cross in the pavement, which marks the spot where thousands and thousands of the reformers were burned and executed for their unwavering faith. And I could go on thus, page after page, naming historic points in the city, did my time but permit. Edinburgh is famed the world over for its great men, who have been eminent in philosophy or theology, or science or poetry. To-day its citizens are known for their refinement and intellec- tual and religious culture. Its benevolent and charitable institutions are numerous, and rank with the first in the world. I recall with especial delight one afternoon and evening I spent in Edinburgh. It was the finest day of the year, when the long struggle of the winter for life seemed over, and the victory of the spring assured. I chanced to be on Prince's Street at the supreme moment of this raw day, just when the city grew glorious and almost transfigured in the splendor of the setting sun, and the coming on of evening. The whole length of this superb promenade stretched off like some triumphal way. At one end rose into the luminous sunlighted evening sky, heights surmounted by lofty monumental columns. One side was closely filled with more prosaic and modern buildings, but on the other lay, I thought, one of the fairest views my eyes had ever rested on. It may have been the exquisite beauty of the hour, I scarcely know, but it seemed like the vision of an enchanted city. Near at hand, was the splendid Gothic monument to Scott, and to right and left of this, other statues, recalling distinguished names. A little further removed a line of buildings with massive pillars and classic figures. At my feet the gardens of the city grew dim with the gathering purple shadows of the evening. Across the valley the old town and the Castle, glowed in the full sunlight, radiant in the slant beams, then grew softly, wonderously beautiful in the after glow, all sharp lines fading tremulously away, while the time-stained gray of towers and battlements lost itself in the background of the sky. The pleasure of our visit to Edinburgh was largely enhanced by the renewal of our acquaintance with Miss Isabella Bird, whose name is remembered so pleasantly in very many of our Island homes, and whose charming and graphic descriptions of Hawaiian life and scenery, are so widely known and appreciated, and no where more so than with us. Miss Bird's home is in the Scottish capital, and our memories of the days spent there will always be the brighter for the thought of her kindly courtesy and hospitality. Her very many Island friends and admirers will, I am sure, hear her name again with sincerest pleasure. Since her visit among us, she has visited the Rocky Mountains, and her eloquently poetic letters from that upper world of primeval forests and glittering snow-clad peaks, have been received with the greatest favor. Last year she returned from a visit to Japan, and I feel convinced that her book on that country, which is to appear in the autumn, will be even more popular than any of hers which have preceded it. Miss Bird's name is here well-known, and she takes a prominent place among the writers of travel. Through Miss Bird's kindly introduction we came to know some of the choice people of Edinburgh, this city of delightful society. Our evening visit was especially pleasant, and I mention it here because I am sure the name of Dr. John Brown, the author of that most pathetic and beautiful of poems in prose, "Rab and his Friends," is dear to many in the Pacific. Dr. Brown is well-known as an author and essayist. His style is attractive, his language forcible and eloquent, and at times delightfully quaint and picturesque. Some of his shorter sketches are known the world over, and " Rab and his Friends," may be said to be one of the most exquisite and touching things in the English language, its author is now on in years, lives quietly in his pleasant home, loved by all his follow citizens, �JULY. 1880. and by many, I am sure, whom he does not grim and severe.

Or,—but it were kinder and wiser to tell you of one or two of the places where we really did go—in the body and not in lingering fancy. One gray day, with the wind and the rain against us, but a grand pair of horses before us, we drove to Roslin, interesting for its ruined castle and chapel. The latter is a perfect Gothic garden of luxuriant, and yet exquisite bloom, a glorious maze of clustering, intricate carvings and traceries. The castle is in a sadly ruined state, too decrepit perhaps to be called any longer in itself beautiful, but eloquent still in its reminders of other ages. You are shown a damp, dreary arched vault where, our old guide told us, Queen Mary hid for some weeks when she was flying before Elizabeth. What a gloomy place for a haven of refuge Without it was charming, notwithstanding the April drops which filled the gray noon-tide, now and then with their uncalled for presence. Below was a tumbling stream, beneath which our tottering, and shadowy guide (he might have dated from Queen Mary's days) told us a secret passage ran far away from the castle to some opening beyond. The opposite bank, some one said, would be as blue as the summer sky a little later on, when the blue bells came. Further down the stream, reached by a lovely, romantic way under the arching trees, lies Hawthornden, once the home of the poet Drummond. To have left Scotland without a peep at Melrose, would have been to do a thing for which 1 am sure you would never have forgiven me. A visit there would have been enough to have lifted any day quite into the number of those which we note as worthy of special remembrance. But thanks to the great kindness and rare guiding skill of our very kind friend and host, we were enabled to see much more. 1 shall long remember this April day with pleasure; with now a swift ride by train through historic Scottish landscapes, or more leisurely carriage drives over country roads, bordered by verdant hedges. The very spirit of peace and contentment seemed to rise like a continual hymn from the quiet meadow lands and grass grown hill sides. We had much pleasure in visiting Abbotsford, which the memery of Sir Walter Scott renders so strikingly interesting. Here he lived and wrote for many years, and here weary and worn and yet victorious, he died. The house is filled with reminders of the great poet and novelist. His books stand as he left them, and seemed lonely and sad, now that the hand and eye of their former owner are still and closed. The beautiful gleaming Tweed flows swiftly on at the foot of the lawn. They placed Sir Walter near the window that he might, as his life went out, watch its onward flow. Abbotsford is painfully interesting; painfully, for you feel the emptiness, the vanity of all this now dusty material wealth lor which the great poet, with a pathetic weakness, sacrificed so much and labored as under the lash.

From the hills above it you may look towards the " Land of the Border" on the horizon, and involuntarily in looking you find yourself humming, I am sure, some ballad or other, which long ago was born there. Dryburgh was founded during the reign of David I, and has its own place in history, of which we will not speak here. To-day its chief interest, and that a very great and tender one, lies in the fact that Scott is buried here; that a great hearted friend of yours and mine and all the world, has found his last resting place beneath those arches and amid these peaceful scenes. It is a most beautiful and appropriate spot for one to lie whose life was a song, which seems to find a whispered echo even here in death. Here amid the reminders of a historic past, watched over by the sacred memories of this holy place, ho lies till the morning dawn. The Tweed is near at hand, broadening here to a noble river, whose blue depths mirror sheltering banks of rare beauty. There is a hush over the crumbling walls, over the glorious vestiges of a dim past, over the encircling fields and groves. The matins and vespers here are the songs of thousands of birds—the incense, is the breath of opening flowers and the opening year, through the sculptured window of the choir, streams by day the undimmed beauty of God's sunshine, and here at night the silver stars gleam as tapers.

On the Sabbath, we enjoyed religious services, in the forenoon, the Episcopal service, and in the afternoon an excellent sermon from the Rev. Mr. McKinney, who was educated at the Theological School of the Rev. Mr. Spurgeon in London. The ship's company of a large steamer is made up of a great variety of characters, and from all, something may be learned. On arriving in Liverpool after a nine day's passage, we were cordially welcomed by some old friends, and among them A. Balfour. Esq., at the head of the house of Balfour, Williamson Sc Co , engaged in the Valparaiso trade, having a branch oftheir house in San Francisco. Mr. Balfour spends much of his time and fortune in promoting the welfare of seamen, the temperance cause, the Missionary enterprise and other philan- " ley, Dean of St Asaph, and Vicar of Wrexham, preached a Sermon in Wrexham Church, in aid of the Society for the propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts That day was also fixed upon for the commencement of the Sunday Evening Lectures, intended lo be established in the Church, and the late Bishop of Calcutta (Heber) then Kector of Hodnet, the Dean's Son-in-law, undertook to deliver the first Lecture. In the course of the Saturdsy previous, the Dean nnd his Son-in-law being together at the Vicarage, the former requested Heber to write " Something for them to sing in the Morning," and he retired for that purpose from the table, where the Dean and a few friends were sitting, to a distant part of the room. In a short time the Dean enquired What have you written?" Heber having "then composed the three first verses,- read them over, "There, there, that will do very well," said the Dean, " No, no, the sense is not complete," replied Heber, accordingly he added the fourth verse, and the Dean beintr inexorable to his repeated request of " Let me add another," " Oh let me add another," thus completed the hymn of which the annexed is a fac simile, and which has since become so celebrated; —it was sung the next morning in Wrexham Church for the first time.

But in time other explorers reached did his work, he secured peace, but it was the peace of a nearly exterminated race. A few days since there came floating to us on the currents of commerce and literature pieces of the wreck of this island world. As we gathered them up and looked at them, we saw in them the former life once so busy there, we saw in them two lines which told us how closely allied that people were with those among whom we are now living. It is well known how easy it is to link a lost species of fauna or flora back to its native place by the discovery of a single bone, it may be, or a single stem of a tree. Yearssince.when the first Morning Star was wrecked, the swiftly passing currents caught some pieces of her timbers, such as were well marked, and bore them eastwardly some 300 miles and landed them on another island. They were gathered up by some natives, shown to a captain who knew the vessel well; as he examined them he declared them to be parts of the Morning Star, and said she was wrecked. It was so. She was lost, she is wrecked on another island, and here were the drifted timbers, telling the sad tale. So with the drifted pieces from, this lost people. They tell us not so much that the people are lost, but rather what close relationship they held with the nowliving people about us. Here is a fragment. That early people had for a name as given by foreigners, Chammoros, it seems to have been a tribal appellative. But I think it meant rather the priestly class. For here in the Ponape dialect, Jamero, very closely allied in its root-parts to the Chammoros alone, means priest. We cannot doubt but that once they were closely allied. But here is another fragment. Early writers speaking ot the priests of the Ladrones, mention the Rhy May bread fruit. But the May is only the name for this fruit all through Micronesia; the Ponape, Mai, Mortlock Mai, Russian Mwos, Ebon Me. A half-caste youth from these islands crossed my path a few days since. There was nothing in his appearance to indicate that his home was there, and his language was mixed with the Spanish, yet now and then words were dropped that were native. His Maulik for instance, meaning good, was only the Ponape Me mau, the Ebon, Emon. His Nifin, meaning teeth, has the Ponape and Morllock roots for the same words, Ngi. But these are only a few of the fragments of the wreck upon that northern Archipelego; we wish we had more. We are sure there are more. We do not doubt, but that in some of the old convents of those islands there are stowed away treatises on the grammar of that dialect. It would be a joy to rifle these places for these treasures, it will be done in time. But till then we must be content with the little that floats to us. We mourn the loss of that people. From all can learn we think it must have been the finest in all this island world. There are ruins there that tell us this ; but the race is gone, those northern " cousins have passed away. Only 350 years, and they are not. Is this prophetic of the races now living in Micronesia ? That in the sweep of another circle of 350 years less or more, the races now living and for whom we are now toiling are to be wiped out! Not certainly if a pure and simple Christianity and civilization can save them. E.T. Doane. " �JULY, ISBO. SAILORS' APVaRTISBSSBWTS. Places of Worship. 5 THE FRIEND, HOME! CONFECTIONERY.

A. has appointed a committee to prepare and circulate for signatures among the owners, managers, and agents of the various sugar and rice plantations, petitions to be presented to the King urging the continuance of the present policy of prohibitive legislation against liquor and opium. This is a good move on the part of the Association, and we hope it will meet with success. We are glad to hear that Mr. Henry Waterhouse has been appointed as one of the new members of the Hawaiian Board. He is the right man in the right place. * We commend the action of the Legislature in refusing to grant a subsidy to the proposed Chinese line of steamers. * • 56 AsYCMochoiearutnnH'gf onolulu. At a meeting of the Library and Reading Room Association, held at their hall the sth ult., the entertainment committee informed the Society that arrangements had been perfected whereby they would be able to give at least one entertainment per month at the rooms, of either lectures, readings, or addresses, with music, etc. Several gentlemen have signified their willingness to assist the Society in this matter. It is the intention and purpose of the committee to keep up the interest in our Society, and to furnish monthly entertainments at their rooms, where the public can come and enjoy a pleasant evening without charge. The Hall and Library committee reported that since the fair, they had bought here in town one hundred dollars worth of new and valuable books, which were nearly all ready to put on the shelves. By the steamer of June 7th they had ordered one hundred dollars worth of books, and would order fifty dollars worth by each succeeding steamer, until further instructions from the Board of Control. During the past month a Young Men's Christian Association has been started among the native members of Kaumakapili Church. A full list of officers have been chosen to serve for one year. The association will hold meetings once a month, and a prayer meeting every Sunday evening before church. The same constitution and by-laws of the English Y. M. C.

AUGUST 8. 18 80. From the Biennial Report of the President of the Board of Education to the Legislative Assembly of ISBO. we gather some interesting facts in regard to the School Statistics of the Islands. There are 210 schools in the country, viz : 150 Government Common schools, 14 Government select schools, taught in English ; and 46 Independent ones, also taught in English. The total of scholars in all these schools is 7,164 —4,048 boys and 11,116 girls. The nationality of the pupils (which shows the mixed nature of our population) is as follows : Hawaiians, 5.657; half-caste Hawaiian*, 955 ; Chinese, 85 ; Americans, 247 ; British, 90 ; Portuguese, 55 ; Germans, 37; French, 2; other foreigners, 36. The sum total expended by this Government for the support of Common and Hawaiian and English Schools during the biennial period ending March 31, 1880, was *50,055.72—a very respectable amount for a small country like this. We conclude our brief notice of this interesting report by copying the following paragraph by the President: " One great defect of our Common school teachers is the lack of inclination or ability to teach their pnpils moral truths. Our public school system should, like the Government which administers it, be nonsectarianand national; and the Board aim to maintain it free from the influence of church or sect. But this should not prevent the teachers from instructing their pupils in the principles of 18t>0. 57 {•ft SmtS, t?0l. 37. morality and good behaviour, and those RAMBLES IN THE OLDWORLD.-No. 43 habits of thought which form the basis of all In the Lands of the Rose and the Thistle—No. 3. religions belief."

They tell you, when visiting the grand ruins of the old Castle of Heidelberg for the first time, that if you pass over the drawbridge and cross the court tn the Castle-front without saying anything, you may be permitted to indulge in any wish you fancy or heart may dictate, with the assurance that it will certainly be realized. The trouble however is, that you can never fulfill your share of the obligation, for you must indeed be as dumb as the stone statues about you, if you advance many steps towards this Palace front without an unconscious burst of enthusiastic admiration. Should similar conditions be imposed upon one entering England in the first exquisite beauty and and police appear to be utterly powerless, to fragrance of May bloom and sweetness, I am afraid the wisher would fare as badly. stop the increased illicit traffic.

England was all olive with political excite- earnest efforts of Lord Radstock of England to bring the pure Gospel before the minds and hearts of the better classes in Russia. For several years he has been in habit of visiting St. Petersburg nnd other cities, and holding evangelical meetings among the wealthy and influential members of society, which have resulted in leading many to the truth. This has irritated and enraged the leaders of the Greek Church, whe have bitterly opposed the movement, and now they have succeeded in procuring this severe interdict. Lord Radstock established a Bibleclass nt the house of General Pashkoff, from which the leaven has spread, till now there are fifteen similar meetings in St. Petersburg that are sending out a Gospel influence over the city and even into'the provinces. The new converts are called by the name of Pashkovites. We have little doubt that this act of persecution is only another proof of the hostility of sectarianism and error to the plain teaching of the Bible.— Christian Weekly.

We quote a paragraph : " After a tea meeting, which will begin at 5:30 (admission one mark), the chair will be taken by Edward Chaplin, Esq , Chairman of Committee, at 7 precisely. The Rev. E. W. Matthews, Secretary to the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, London, the Rev. Dr. Damon, of the American Seamen's Friend Society, and others, are expected to speak, (admission free.") The Chinese steamer Ho Chung is daily expected, with some four or five hundred Chinese passengers. These frequent additions to our population of Asiatic heathen are increasing the responsibility that rests upon Christians to try and do something more than has yet been done towards im- parting to them the light of Gospel truth. The presence of such a large and rapidly increasing pagan element among the Christianized but weak Hawaiians, must give rise to grave apprehensions of evil consequences. We need more Chinese colporteurs to labor among their countrymen, and an American missionary speaking Chinese, as suggested by the Hawaiian Board, would find an ample field for labor. From whence shall we look for one, and who will support him ? We have received the Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association for 1880. The Association held its sessions in this city during the first week in June, and the pamphlet of the proceedings and reports is extremely interesting under the different headings—" Abstract of minutes," "Annual Report,; reportof the Board, including—•' Home Evangelization," "Evangelical Educational Institutions,"'Foreign Missions' Treasurer's Report and report of the '-North Pacific Missionary Institute." The contributions from the Hawaiian Islands during the year have amounted to the sum of (5,699 91, and from the groups of islands to the westward, §342.75; total from the North Pacific Islands, $6042 66, a decrease from last year of $878.53. Sabbath afternoon services in the Gilbert Islands language have been regularly maintained in this city, and the attendance is about fifty. Rev. M. Maka, a returned Hawaiian missionary, has also labored among this people at Koo- " " lau and elsewhere. E. P. Adams, Esq., at Kilauea, Kauai, has built a church for them on his plantation and offers to contribute to the support of a pastor. In regard to the Chinese, of whom there are some ten thou- 1880. sand in these Islands, we learn that the Board has no commissioned Chinese laborers, but it has aided in Chinese evangelization, by making a grant for Ho Ah Pui, on Kauai, of $100, the balance of his support, some 8:250, being raised by Christian friends on Kauai; another grant of $100 to the foreign church at Makawaoand Haiku toward the support, of SatFan, and one of JlOOto the Young Men's Christian Association for Sit Moon. Much thought has been given by the Board to the question, whether it be expedient to secure the services of an American missionary speaking Chinese, to labor among the Chinese in this group, As yet they have come to no decision. Aid from the American Board for such a man can hardly be expected. Are our planters, and Christian friends of the Chinaman, ready to put their shoulders to the wheel?" It striks us that the interests of planters should prompt them to heed this appeal. Tha news from the different missions in the Pacific Islands, though somewhat unfavorable in some of the Islands is, on the whole, encouraging. The French Governor of the Marqueses has given his J influence in favor of education, and for the suppression of intemperance, whereby the missionaries have been much cheered. There are 40 churches in Micronesia, under the care of the Board, with a membership of 2,904, to which has been added by profession 447 during the past year. breaks the law once he shall pay one hundred dollars in cash to me, or if a second time he shnll leave these islands forever. ordinance shall come in force from and after the sixth day of May 1880.

Five days in Wales, twelve days in Scotland and thirteen days in England, have afforded us, with the rare facilities at hand, an excellent opportunity for seeing portions of this goodly land in the opening springtime, when trees and hedge-rows, primroses and butler-cups were just putting forth their peculiar charms. The weather has been most favorable for tourists, not too cool for pleasant out-door excursions, with but little rain, and if the sky has not been blue, the clouds have not been an unpleasant gray. Our last was written from Wales, since that we crossed from the West to the East of England, passing up through the beautiful lake region on to Scotland, arriving in Edinburgh on the 20th of April. We were kindly entertained at the elegant mansion of R. A. Macfie, Esq., during our sojourn in Scotland, and his generous hospitality will long be cherished in grateful remembrance.

Dr. Hyde gave a very interesting and instructive sermon on"the flood," in the Bethel church, on the 25th ult. We learned many new facts regarding the flood that we never knew before. We regret to learn of the illness of Mr. Jas. B. Castle. He has been suffering from an attack of malarial fever. At last accounts he was improving. We hope soon to see him well and strong again. During the past month our citizens have had a rare treat in attending the Montague concerts at Kawaihao church. The expectations of the public have more than been realized. We have heard many of the leading singers in the United States, but we can truly say that we have not enjoyed any of them so thoroughly as we have these here. Phonetic spelling is gradually being more and more used throughout the United States. A large number of teachers and others in some of the leading Eastern colleges write entirely in the new way. We confess that we approve ov the nu wa. It is so ezi tv spel yur wurds as they are pronounced. Whether it wil com into genial use remains tv be seen. One argument can be used in its favor. It wil mak it cii for foreigners tv learn the English language, and that is worth a great deal. Hoapili Baker's Liquor Bill and the Opium Bill, have both passed by the Legislature during the past month, and now only await the Kings signature to become laws of the land. A petition signed by over a hundred of the ladies of our city has been presented to His Majesty, respectfully asking him to with-hold his royal signature from both bills. The Chamber of Commerce has sent in a similar petition. We await with anxiety for the result. Rev. Dr. Hemphill returned to San Francisco, per steamer Australia, the sth ult. He preached twice in Fort street church the day previous, and delivered two most eloquent sermons, that will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate to hear them.

We are glad that the Advertiser of last Saturday published the names of the four native members of the Legislature who have acquitted themselves so honorably during this present session. They are certainly true Hawaiians and lovers of their country. We wish we could say the same of otheis of the native members of the Assembly. Mr. Joshua G. Dickson, who died on the 11th ult., was a man of sterling character, the highest integrity, and one that the community can ill afford to lose. He was a kind father, a loving husband, and one whom any person would have been proud to have had as a friend. His memory will ever be tenderly cherished by all who knew him. The exhibition of the Royal school took place at the Lyceum, Monday evening, the 19th ult. .The house was filled with an appreciative audience. The exercises consisted of singing and declamations, which were well rendered. The boys pronounced the English language very tcell, and Mr. Mackintosh is entitled to great credit for his careful training of them. No one knows so well as the teacher how hard it is to teach native boys another language. We are sorry that the Legislature has granted a subsidy to the proposed Chinese line of steamers. By«so doing they have opened a door for an unlimited amount ot Chinese males to come to our islands, and coming as passengers as they mostly will, nothing can prevent their coming in large quantities, anil we are vn- ,ikely to get more of the bad, than the good.

The Legislature was prorogued by Royal Commission Saturday Aug. 14. .It was thought that thus there had ceased to be any opportunity afforded for the evil thst may be wrought by reckless and ridiculous legislntion. There was hardly time for any feeling ofrelief in this thought, when a new turn of affairs disclosed a new danger. In a very few hours the news spread that the King had dismissed the Ministry without a moment's notice. This action was taken, as was supposed, at the instance of a notorious foreign political adventurer, who received the appointment of Minister of Foreign Relations. It was an action, on the face of it, in direct contravention of the spirit and object of the Constitution of this Kingdom. The old Ministry had given general satisfaction, and had been sustained by the expressed approval of a large majority of the Legislature. A crowded and orderly mass meeting assembled at Kautnakapili Church on Monday evening, August 16th, and by a vote of 1,500 to 26 appointed a Committee to represent to the King the sure and sad result of any unconstitutional and unpatriotic action Th 4! Committee was refused access to the Palace. Only at the demand of the foreign Diplomatic/Corps, headed by Gen. Comly, the United States Minister Resident, was the appointment of Moreno revoked, It is said that bis intimacy at tbe Palace and his interference in public affairs has not ceased. The new Cabinet is composed of men, not only without such experience in. public affairs as to secure for them the confidence of the community, but rather conspicuous for such unfitness as to give occasion for a general feeling of distrust and insecurity. terests of personal greed and'irresponsible wilfulness, or shall the eternal and irreversible principles of truth and justice be maintained in their ascendency here ? There never was a better opportunity than now, for the establishment of a healthful public sentiment on political affairs in this Kingdom. There never was such general agreement in condemnation of arbitrary and unreasonable measures. There never Was such readiness as now, for united action on the only proper basis, like convictions of duty and expediency. Let the friends of constitutional government, righteously administered, set forth in connection with some platform of political principles, what they consider to be the special objects desirable in political administration at the present time. Let them rally for the maintenance of these principles and objects from Hawaii to Niihau, both the native born and foreign born. Let the measures be adopted here by which political parties in other lands seek to attain their ends, personal influence, local associations, money contributions, printed documents, public meetings. Agitate, agitate till a healthful public sentiment is aroused, informed and inspired. With the rallying cry " Ka Pono no ko Hawaii Ponoi," " Honor and Happiness for all honest Hawaiians," why should not the friends of Hawaiian nationality successfully contend for the maintenance and the progress of free institutions in Hawaii nei.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 44 In the Lands of the Rose and the Thistle.—No. 4. out of town. London is a city which would, in a certain sense, answer to that somewhat Hibernian compliment, as being " a nice place to live out of." For interesting: as it is, and fascinating as is its multitudinous life, and instructive and profitable as are days spent amid the treasures ot the British Museum, or the beauties of the Art Galleries, one finds an almost greater pleasure in its environs, and the many delightful spots which lie near at hand, but outside of the bustle and roar of the great thoroughfares. Windsor Castle is, counting miles, not so very near the city, but the train takes you down so swifty, and through such a loveljj country that you have scarcely more than realized you have left the city, before you see the Royal Standard floating above the gray towers of the Castle. If you want a glorious view, mount up the many stairs of the great round tower, and drink in that superb view of forest land and winding river, and village dotted plain and garden-like beauty spread out before you. The Castle is most imposing—a city in itself, and a fitting home for the good Queen of so great a people. And more beautiful than almost anything 1 ever saw before, or hope to see again, is the glorious avenue of giant trees stretching away, away into the misty distance, some three miles or so, this via triumphalis ot royalty. We did not seethe Queen, this we had scarcely anticipated, but we found ample compensation in the cordial welcome from friends, in one of tbe pleasant homes of the old tower of Windsor, who bear in common with us the old family name, and who, here on English soil, in the " Old Home," greeted those returning from the other side of the world, after two centuries and more of absence. One of the name is a Master at Eton, famous for its school, lying near by, and we had a most interesting opportunity of seeing this great and historic institution. Should you find time to wander farther on, you would come to the "ivy mantled tower" of which Grey so exquisitely sings in his plaintive " Elegy." And 1 would advise you to go to charming Richmond. But of all places do not fail to see Hampton Court with its treasures of Art, and its perfect grounds, and near at hand Bushey Park. �66 THK FRIEND, SEPTEMBER. Should you see the superb avenue of stately horse chesnuts there, and in bloom of a spring evening, when the setting sun tinges those willows of waxen clusters with rosy light, and the great trees grow greater in the uncertain twilight, and seem to mingle with the clouds of the tipper sky, you would, I think, forget for the moment that life had its trials, privations its denials, and welcome and cherish the grand ho|es and ideals large and beautiful sense which the writer of any good book is a benefactor) is a friend to the world, that I venture here to speak thus publicly of the most agreeable afternoon visit we enjoyed in her home and presence at Hampstead Heath, were it for no others, I am sure it will be a pleasure for many n boy and girl, in the far nway islands of the Pacific, under tropic skies, to hear of the writer, who has charmed and delighted them which seem to be sent to you in this vision with her exquisitely natural pictures of that of beauty. But I scarcely think I need to stormy and heroic period of the Christian tell you where to go, far better than all church. guiding or direction is that subtle, someMrs. Charles lives, as I was saying in a thing like a poetic instinct, which teHs you delightful home, with a wide and inspiring oftentimes in travel, as in life, where it is view of a glorious country before her. The best to go. landscape is most beautiful, just at this And now, leaving the general, I want to point widening and deepening like some tell you of a pleasant experience of ours, huge gulf, in the tremulous broken waves of one which I should call, green. Far away in the distance, against AN AFTERNOON AT HAMPSTEAD HEATH HOME OF MRS. CHARLES It sounded simple enough ! THE The direction which was g;ven u-j. by our friend, whose house we were leaving, to find the home of a lady whom we had come out to Hampstead Heath to see. Had we not however found a rosy faced English maid, to serve as our Ariadne, I am quite afraid we should never have made our way through the labyrinth of country lanes and hedges, with their windings and turns innumerable. After London, there was something indescribably plensar.t in this glorious wealth of spring verdure, which bordered our way and wrought itself into a leafy canopy above our heads, through which the afternoon's sunshine fell in softened radiance about us. I remember we came in our walk upon a quiet burying .ground, with ancient stones, and in the center of this a square and rather angular looking church, which the ivy, clinging like a vestment, strove not wholly in vain, to beautify. You might have thought yourself hundreds of miles sway from the great city, so peaceful and still was everything. Then, after other wanderings and a superb avenue of tress bordering our way like a guard of honor, in their finest array, we came to a charming little country house, with a glorious view over the heath. We were amply repaid for our walk by the kindly smile and cordial greeting which were here awaiting us, and for which it were worth the while to come much further. The literature which has arisen in reference to that remarkable period called in History, the Reformation of Germany, with which is so inseparately connected the name of that heroic man. Dr. Martin Luther, forms a fine library in itself. It is one of those fertile themes, which seem almost exhaustless in their resources, and which find in every succeeding generation new investigators and chroniclers, still voluminous as are all these writings in various languages. I think I am quite right in saying that it was left to an English lady of our own day, to tell the grand and glowing story of the intrepid Reformer's life, to the young people of England and America. This is very much to say, but I am sure all those who know ol the wide and continued success of that most delightful of books " Chronicles of the " Schfimberg Cotta Family," will most heartily agree with me. It is because I feel that iv authoress, Mrs. Charles, (ip that the horizon is '• Harrow on the Hill," one of the famous schools for English boys, its spire just visible. Within 1 am sure you would be charmed with our hostess, a lady in middle life, with an earnest face, a voice nnd manner wholly and most agreeably quiet and moderate, and something in her way of speaking on many varied subjects which suggests the power which is iw>nifest in her writings. 1 know of no one who would shrink more than she from sitting for a newspaper photograph, and yet I have felt drawn almost unconsciously into giving it, by the thought of the sympathetic recipients of the same. Mrs. Charles lives in this delightful home, on the verdant edge of the mighty city, with her mother, a sweet and gentle lady, surrounded by her books, her flowers and those thousand attractions which moke English ' interiors" the most beautiful in the world- I have mentioned the *■ Schomberg Cotta Family," because of its being the book by which"Mrs. Charles is the best known with us, at least. One must really know Germany to appreciate it fully. I have a copy of it now, which 1 used once as a sort of delightful guide book in my rambles amid scenes which the name of Martin Luther had made famous. I know of no English book which seems so filled with the sweet, natural grace of German life and character, and the style is so true that you might indeed believe it to be a translation from some old German chronicle. There is a sort of delicious fragrance about the book, which comes to me like the scent of pines from the grand old Thurnigian forest. But besides this, you know Mrs. Charles has written many books, the titles and contents of which you are as familiar with as I am myself. Then she has written some most beautiful poems and has written with equal grace of the hymns which have grown dear to the Christian Church. She has dipped into almost every period of Christian History and found herself at home in all. Few have such a power of vivifying the past as she. And then it is not alone as the painter of history that we should prize her, but as the earnest faithful Christian woman and authoress, who holds her pen as a consecrated instrument for the great and glorious Cause, which our Lord has left to His followers to carry forward. We had the pleasure of a delightful stroll 1880. with her off on the Heath, where about us the furze was crowning itself with long golden sprays. It was. one of the fairest days of the early summer, and the whole world was in its beauty. The view of London from this point was wondrously fine. We snw it lying partly in sunshine, and partly in shade, with its thousand spires and domes rising out nl a sea of mist. And now in parting, I am sure I am but putting into words, the desires of many beside myself, when I wish all joy and gladness and blessing for our friends at Hampstead Heath. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. Mere existence at either Oxford or Cambridge must in itself be a sort of education. By a species of spiritual absorption the most inert mind must needs receive, to a certain degree, the beautifying and elevating culture which the historic and scholastic atmosphere of these venerable seats of learning seems so peculiarly adapted to convey. Leaving them this lower type of inspiration and passing to the sphere, where it is to be hoped most men are to be found, that of the wors-ers and not the drones, it will be readily perceived how grand an influence these institutions by their very presence, are capab'e of exerting upon all earnest men. There are those who can do the better work with the tones of sweet music coming to them, forming as it were a rhymic and me.odious accompaniment to their thoughts. And 1 could fancy in a somewhat similnr way, it might be possible for many men to be here stimulated to loftier thought and more poetic utterance, by the subtle power which antiquity, added to beauty of material form, seems to possess. In all the world Oxford and Cambridge are unique. You will find nothing on the continent to compare with them, and in the New World, of course, comparisons cannot for centuries be sought. You will notice that I am saying nothing in reference to the standard of education, or of the training which in the past these universities have offered or have still to offer. But that I am alluding solely to their mere shell, as it were the outside covering and adornment, which joined to a thousand classic and historic memories and associations, impresses all who are privileged to come to visit them. It would be difficult to say which were the more beautiful, Oxford or Cambridge. There are certain essential points of resemblance and yet each possesses a marked individuality. Cambridge University has the advantage of being in a far smaller town, and in a town where quaint architecture and peaceful streets seem in harmony with the colleges. While Oxford University on the other hand suffers by its nearness to a large and uninteresting town, which presses and crowds upon the grey and ancient buildings in a way which is far from pleasing. Still these are lesser matters. They are both, as seats of learning, now dignified and crowned bycenturies, beautified and enriched by refined taste and wealth, eloquent with a long and worthy past, singularly attractive. 1 chanced to be at Cambridge during the Faster holidays, and found it given over to the unbroken silence of vacation. You might have thought it a city of the dead, but for the occasional passing of some student in cap and gown, whom necessity or incline- �tion had led to remain here during this holiday season. In thinking of either Oxford or Cambridge, you must dismiss all ideas of one building, or of a few grouping about a central and main edifice. They are as it were cities of colleges, each of these a little world in itself. In Cambridge I felt this especially, because the colleges were separated at times by such extensive open spaces, you felt as it were in passing under the gateway, like entering a feudal castle, where the inmates acknowledged only their chieftain as ruler, lean through no words of description convey to you an adequate and correct idea of the rare and peculiar beauty of Cambridge. How I wish it were in my power to do so. You pass beneath massive and imposing arches, b-nring the date of centuries long departed, and the coats of arms of sovereigns, who have yielded their crowns to others, and these in turn to others, and into wide and carefully kept quadrangles, where in the entrance of encircling walls the smoothest of turf gleams like a huge emerald in a setting of stone. About you are grey and time stained buildings, which for ages have been the homes of the very flower of England's youth. You wonder, entering at the superb Gothic Halls, with their dark rich carvings, drooping banners and armorial adornments, at the chapels, gems of architectural beauty, dim with the religious light which streams through jewelled windows ; at the elegance, the luxury, the magnificence which surround you, and you say "These are the palaces of princes." Or again, without, you catch the gleam of a peaceful river, flowing between verdant banks, mirroring ancient and majestic trees, and bearing upon its bossom white and stately swans; or you gaze with delight at some antique arch, crumbling with age and festooned with ivy, or higher up at the picturesque beauty of some mullioned window, upon whose ledge a row of flowers gleam like crimson flame, or you trace the leafy scroll-work of some graceful stone carving, out lined against the warm rich blue of the April sky and you ex claim with enthusiasm, while the- soft chimes of chapel bells deepen your delight, Here must indeed be the homes and "haunts of artists and poets." There are at Cambridge seventeen colleges and four halls As a University it has always held a high position and numbers among its alumni, some of the most noted names in English letters nnd statesmanship. Especial attention is here paid to mathematical study, while nt Oxford tbe highest honors are generally obtained by those who have devoted themselves to classical studies. Few views are more impressive than that with which you are favored from one of the many towers in Oxford. Beneath you lie a city of scholastic buildings, varied by verdant courts and lovely promenades. And if you are delighted by this birds-eye view from above, your enthusiasm is increased tenfold as you walk through the college grounds and under the shadows of these mediaeval walls. The names of the colleges are known the world over, Christ Church, Baliol, Magdalen, Trinity, Corpus Christi, Oriel, and many more. Among the most interesting places to visit, is the Bodbian Library, founded in the 16th century and SEPTEMBER. one of the finest libraries in the world. A monument on one of the principal avenues, marks the spot where Ridley, Latimer and Cranmer, found a martyr's glorious death in the midst of persecuting flames. If we found Cambridge deserted, we found Oxford populous with students. It was at the height of the examination period, and young Oxford was in a state of suspense and excitement. The week following, the various exercises connected with commemoration were to take pluce. We owed much of the pleasure of our visit to the courteous and kindly attention of a fellow of Merton College, who guided us most skilfully and satisfactorily through this "maze" of learning. SOME LONDON PREACHERS. I remember an American lady once saying to me " Oh, on Sundays in England we never lack for entertainment; we always endeavor to manage our excursions so, that we may be back in London for the Sunday, in order to have as many sermons as possible." You may have heard on the other hand of the Frenchman who said he would r.'tlii-r spend a Sunday at the bottom of a well in the centre of the Great Pyramid than in London. Still, I imagine, the number of those who would agree with the American lady, is not small. It is to be hoped that this innocent dissipation may result beneficially to those who are led to indulge in it. In coming to the subject of the London Sabbath, to its manifold missionary efforts, to its varied observance, to the army of lay and clerical workers, one reaches a theme so vast, that here, I must content myself with briefly mentioning a few of those men, who are at the present time of especial power and note in this world of a city. In the English pulpit to-day, are some of the strongest men, an English speaking race has given the latter half of this country. Whether churchmen or non-conformists, they are rightly to be considered as among* the grandest purifying, civilizing, spiritualizing in the world. Spurgeon is now one of the sights people cross the Atlantic to see, as they come for the Cathednl at Cologne, or the Abbey ot Westminster. He may not please all, but he cannot fail to impress all by his intense earnestness, and many he moves like a mighty wind. May I be pardoned a slight digression here, and the expression of a private and personal opinion. Tnere are some four or five men in Europe, who are worthy to be placed among the great men of history, men who have attained heights which tower above the heights of other men. We are always, if we only know it, living in an "heroic age." Sometimes we call men great, rather because of the antiquity of their While names than for any other reason. of the forces at work those of our own century we fail to honor as they deserve,. But, as 1 was saying, there seem to be living just now, four or five of these great men in Europe, great in the present, and for all coming ages ; and these are, in Music—Wagner ; in History—Car- lyle; in Poetry—Victor Hugo; in Politics— Bismarck ; and in the Pulpit—Spurgeon. One of the magnificent spectacles of London is Mr. Spurgeon's church, filled with thousands of people, every pew packed and the aisle crowded. The church is so arranged that the galleries run entirely around I*Bo. 67 THE FRIEND, the church, in this way accommodating an immense number of listeners. The music is of the simplest character, but profoundly impressive. There is no organ, no choir, no paid artistic performers. A gentleman, with a strong full voice, leads the singing in which this great congregation joins with a heartiness, a "whole-souledness" that causes the strains of the grand old hymns to rise like the mighty music of the sea. Nothing could be more simple, nothing more inspiring. A little s.tout, thick set man comes down on to the raised platform, and takes his place before the reading desk. But we think there is surely some mistake, that after all we may hive come in vain, and that for this evening some one is to take Mr. Spur- peon's place. But presently he gives out the opening hymn, and then reads one of the Psalms of David, nnd now we ore sure the famous preacher is before us. For there is only one voice like his it London, in England, so el••tic, so powerful, so vibratory, so musical. It would be impossible for Mr. Spurgeon to speak without saying something which bears the stamp of his own peculiar genius. You might, find him lacking at times in refinement, in delicacy of expression, but never in a grand, convincing earnestness, in a large braherly tenderness. Thousands flock year after year to hear him. He seems to be as popular to-day as he ever was. His sermons are full of a peculiar, vigorous poetry of his own, and picturesque with anecdotes and descriptions. Smiles and tears come and go on this mightly sea of upturned faces, like April sunshine ami shadow. He speaks like a man, keenly alive to the great, yearning needs of humanity, acquainted with the joys and sorrows, the heartaches, the disappointments, the struggles of his brother men. and he speaks like an apostle on whom the flame of inspiration has descended, of the grand and weighty themes of time and eternity. It is impossible to be in his presence, and not to feel the strong, grand spirit of this consecrated man. Almost more than any one else I hive ever seen, he seems to have attained to that ideil of the Christian life, which he himself holds in his lustrous heavenly beauty before his hearers—that life wherein 44 every meal becomes a sacrament; every vesture, a vestment; and every breath, a psalm !" One could scarcely conceive of a greater contrast than that which a service at Westminster Abbey offers, to one at Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. The music in the Abbey, though so entirely different, is however most beautifully impressive. We had tbe pleasure of hearing the venerable and distinguished Dean Stanley preach here on WbitSunday. Dean Stanley's name is too well hnd widely known to call for any especial mention here. He ranks among the very foremost of the clergymen of the Church of England. His writing's cover a wide range, and his name will always be remembered with honor, as that of one who, with spirit almost in advance of his day and generation, has sought to diffuse a broad and generous Catholicity of Christian fellowship and religious feeling. The years are beginning to leave their traces on the finely chiseled, scholarly features of the Dean, and his voice no longer has the ring of youth, but tbe noble strength of his intellect still continues �68 unabated, THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER. 188 0. py The proper care of the poor is one and the sincerity of his Christian The Japanese feeling. Perhaps the most popular of clerical writers to-day in England is Canon Farrar. His " Life of Christ came immediately into public favor, and his recently published elaborate, eloquent and vigorous Life of St. Paul." is meeting with even a wider sale. Dr. Farrar is one of the most prominent speakers and workers in behalf of the temperance movement, which just at the present time is advancing in such u healthy and satisfactory manner in England. Few things afforded me more pleasure during my stay in London, than a masterly sermon of Canon Farrars, in the ancient Church of St. Margarets, on Hebrew Poetry." It was delivered with most admirable charms and distinctness, and was itself so beautified with a vigorous and poetic spirit, and varied by eloquent and fitting flights of refined and lofty imagination, that it was indeed a worthy treatment of this most inspiring theme. For men of thoughtful and cultured mind nnd earnest spirit, there could, I am sure, be no more delightful preacher than Rev. Stopford Brooke, also a clergyman of the Church of England. Physically he is a noble specimen of English manhood, of the " Muscular Christianity" of which the late Charles " •■ " Kingsley knew the worth. (Speaking of Kingsley, I cannot help saying here, that this English visit seemed in some way \ess complete, because Kingsley was no longer living, and instead of the grand, actual presence ofthis most heroic and brotherly man, there was the tree-shadowed grave at Eversley, and the tablet in Westminster Abbey. \ Mr. Brooke's sermons in printed form have gone all over England. I took up one day a volume of them, in a friend's house, already in the 14th edition, ifI remember correctly. He preaches in the simplest, plainest of cbjirch edifices, Bedford Chapel. There are those who think Mr. Brooke scarcely orthodox in all points, still, I think, in the company of those who listen with reverent eagerness for the utterances of the Master's voice, rather than the dictum of dogmatic self-sufficiency, this brave and pure-hearted and earnest man is to be found. But 1 find as the memories of these English Sabbaths come to me, so many of whom I would speak, that I scarcely can do more than give the very briefest notice of a few more names. In St. Paul, that grandest of temples, I listened one afternoon with thousands of others to the well-known Canon Liddon, one of the clearest thinkers and reasoners in the English Church. Returning a moment to the non-conformists, I would mention Dr Parker, who preaches to one of the first audiences in London. He is a man of great force and originality, and is extremely popular. His church resembles in its interior many of our American Churches, and the audience looked less English than most we saw in London. At some of those mighty " May Meetings," we heard a number of the more distinguished English clergymen and ministers. Especially worthy of note are Canon (now Bishop) Ryle of Liverpool, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London. Dr. Manning, the eloquent and influential Secretary of the Tract Society and many others, all men worth hearing often. F. Wm. Damon. Berlin, Germany, July 3rd, 18S0. of the difficult problems of our modern Christian civilization. The time is near, if it has not already come, when in this community this should be made a public charge. It may not be wisest or best to organize a pauper department of the government. But the number and needs of the poor have so increased that private charity is incompetent to meet the necessities of the case. Time and money, thought and care have been freely and generously bestowed. Our citizens have always responded most nobly and heartily to all claims on their humanity and benevolence, nnd some have been ready to go far beyond what was their due proportion. It is in accordance with the usages of this government to supplement and encourage charitable endeavors by grants in aid. What good reason can any one give why the government should refuse to assign to the Strangers' Friend Society a certain portion of the Hospital Tax ? The ladies who have the charge of this most praiseworthy charitable organization, and who have received such warm expressions of gratitude as they can show from those who have been the recipients of their bounty ought to receive some public recognition of their truly noble labors, and all the aid that public money can give. Only eternal shame and ever-deepening misery is the fitting lot of him who shall hear from the lips of Infinite Mercy the condemnation in such few and simple words, yet so pointed and weighty, •' Ye did it not."

Having spent a few months in London and its environs, on the evening ot May 27th, we glided away to the British Chan- nel, and crossed over under the darkness of night, to Flushing, in Holland. In the early morning we found ourselves hurrying away over green meadows, windmills, redtiled roofs, canals, and long rows of trees as straight and regular as soldiers on parade, lining the banks of the dikes, told us but too plainly that we were in Holland about which we had read so much. For some hours we were privileged to travel among Dutch scenes and scenery, ere we crossed the border into Germany. After a few more hours we entered the city of Cologne, where we had made our arrangements to spend the Sabbath. Our Hotel was situated under the very shadow of the lofty and towering spires of the Cathedral, which has been in process of building so many centuries and is to be formally completed the coming Autumn. The workmen are now busy lifting stone after stone to its place, on the lofty spires, while in other parts of the edifice the work of restoration is going forward, thus, the old nnd new contrasting somewhat strangely.

Directly in front is the University, from whose gateway we often see so many students cnmi.ig forth, while on the left is the Emperor's palace. On Sabbath morning June 6th, we attended at tbe Koyal Cathedral. The audience gathering filled its spacious accommodations. The singing was superb, the congregation joining with the well-trained choir. Soon after the opening exercises, it was most gratifying to witness the noble and stately form of the Emperor, unattended and unheralded, enter the Royal Pew, remain standing while the opening exercises were in progress, and then see him take his seat like the humblest worshipper in the great assembly. It was a rainy and exceedingly unpleasant Sabbath morning, and we had expected, that if the Sovereign of this great Empire appeared in church, it would have been with a number of court-officers, and perhaps a display of military, hence, to see the venerable and noble old Emperor who had been present in so many battle-fields and memorable historic scenes, enter the house of God, as any humble and devout worshipper, was the more gratifying. The Court Chaplain spoke most eloquently, so fur as voice and gesture were concerned. We observed that the not fail to allow the Emperor an sexton did contribute with the other to opportunity members of the congregation. Here, by the way we would remark that, rarely in America or England, have we been present at any religious or public gathering upon the Sabbath morning or evening when the privilege has been omitted of allowing the congregation to contribute to some good object. We find the streets and avenues of Berlin broad and convenient. The often described " Unter den Linden." is a broad and noble street, lined with long rows of maple, chesnut and lime trees, which are now clothed in all their spring beauty and foliage. It is quite beyond our ability, if so disposed, to adequately and appropriately describe the various Museums, Picture-galleries, Palaces, and Public buildings of this renowned Capital of a great Empire, One featore strikes us with marked impression, we refer to the military element so manifest, as we meet pedestrians in the streets, and witness the frequent passing and re-passing of soldiers on duty, marching of military companies, and all the necessary military display of great numbers of soldiers known to be quartered in and about the Capital.

Dr. Hyde returned from Hawaii and Maui last Saturday.

We hope to see the new edition printed ere long. It will undoubtedly be largely called for, as all who would buy it could depend on its being correct. One of the most important bills passed by the Legislature was vetoed by His Majesty. This was, 44 The Act to restrict the Immigration of male natives of certain Asiatic countries." The door is thus still left wide open for the Chinese to come here in large numbers for the next two years.

They will probably arrive at the rate of 500 a month, and. when not be the session meets in 1882 we will surprised if the Chinese population has increased by 8,000 or 10,000 souls.

We most truly sympathise with the ladies in their disappointment at the Hospital tax bill having been vetoed> The ladies presented their petition to the Legislature in the early part of the session. It was placed in the hands of Mr. Gibson, who, a few days before the Assembly closed, succeeded in getting the petition passed as a bill stating that one-fourth of the receipts from the Hospital tax be set aside as a fund to be used by them in their benevolent associations. Gen. S. C. Armstrong and W. T. Brigham Esq. left for San Francisco per Zealandia on the 30th ult*. We can assure them that they will be missed by their many friends, who will always remember with pleasure their visit here.

They will be warmly welcomed back to their island home. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The last month has added another to the long list of sudden surprises, which make the life and history of these Is.lands so full ol romantic interest. On the removal of Moreno from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior took his place, ad interim. Many measures were adopted, and many appointments to public office were made, to say the least, of questionable propriety. But the Ministry, even sooner than was expected, found themselves involved in inextricable difficulties in the line of policy they were pursuing with such infatuation. Fortunately the facts were made public in time to give the opportunity and hope of rectifying the blunder they had made, be/ore irreparable injury had been done. The upshot of the late political coup d'etat is the dismissal of every member of the late Cabinet, and the appointment of Hon. W. L. Green ns Minister of Foreign Affairs, with the Premiership; Hon. H. A. P. Carter, Minister of the Interior, and Hon. J. S. Walker, Minister of Finance. With men of such ability and standing, in the administration of the Government, deservine the confidence and support of every friend of Hawaiian nationality and prosperity, it will not be long, we trust, before this Kingdom will recoup, and her political affairs be in a far more healthful condition, as the ultimate consequence of suffering for the last two months such political embar- One of the most grievous mistakes in the line of policy, pursued by the late Ministry, and their advisers and supporters, was the utterly unfounded and generous assertion, that it was the color of their skin, and not the character of their actions, which was the real ground of opposition to them and to their policy and measures. To be lured to destruction by plausible vidians has been the sad fate of nations as well as individuals; for human nature is weak, and people can easily be cajoled into accepting that which suits their prejudices. Mere flatterers or favorites are not true friends. We are sure it needs only some sharp prick of adversity, some brief experience of trouble, to convince this Hawaiian people that their true friends are those who advise such actions as will not interfere with the maintenance of mutual respect and sympathy, nor in any way trespass on the right of others. An infidel social science considers inequality the great curse of humanity, and would drag down everything that is high and honorable to its own base level of sloth and sensuality. Christian benevolence, on the other hand, is the unstinted giving of aid and comfort to help every one rise to higher and higher position through higher and higher worthiness. < Mr. Bowser's new book, entitled The Hawaiian Kingdom Statistical and "Commercial Directory, and Tourists' Guide," has lately been issued. It contains a full and exhaustive index ofthe business ofthe Islands, as well as of its foreign population. To Honolulu merchants it must be indispensible. We heartily welcome this valuable book. Mr. Bowser is an expert in this line, for the work seems to have been carefully and thoroughly done. We wish him the fullest success, not only with this Directory, but also with his forth-coming Atlas oT this Group.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 45 A CITY OF GREAT MEN. You know, dear Friend, I have been from the first a rambler, jotting down pictures and experiences of travel, without very much order or sequence; and availing myself of your always kind and encouraging permission, 1 have taken you hither and thither, without much regard to geographical limitations and distances. And now lam going to be more presumptuous than ever, and ask you to wander a little while with me in various nook, and places, which have nothing at all to do with the countries of which I have been talking of late, but which in their own way, will each have something of interest for you, I trust. It is something of a leap from Old England to Central Germany, from the turbulent activity and many-voiced life of mighty London, to the dreamy peacefulne.s and summer-hush of Weimar, whose past gives life to its present, and where you keep company with the dead, rather than with the living; but this leap I am going to ask you to make. (Would that all our leaps had as pleasant an ending as this !! Goethe, whose fine perception of the beautiful no one would I think doubt, came to Weimar in the first flush of hi. splendid young manhood and .tayed—fifty years and more. There were many circumstances which led to this, but not the least, was, I am convinced the exquisite natural beauty of his surroundings. I first visited Weimar some two or three years ago, and in the very heart of winter; and I enjoyed the old Ducal capital then, but far more a week or two since, seeing it tbis time in the perfection of mid-summer beauty. Weimar, would have held always undoubtedly an eminently respectable place in German annals, but beyond these comparatively unknown to the world, had not the Grand Duke, Carl Augu.t, towards the close of the last century, had the wisdom, skill, and good taste to draw about him some of the greatest men of letters, of his own or any time. Through this happy fact, his capital has come to be one of the Meccas of Germany and of the world, immortalized through the names of those who here lived and wrote and died, and made of it a center of poetic inspiration for the time in which they lived. Every one is familiar with the exquisite picture which Lewe. in his " Life of Goethe" paints of Weimar in �74 111 t the last century, portraying the animated and vigorous intellectual life of the Court of Carl August, which though one of the very smallest of Europe, was al the same time the most interesting in many ways. Goethe, as you will remember, was for a number of year, one of the cabinet minister, in thi. diminutive realm. Hi. name alone would be of importance enough to give any place celebrity, but Weimar wa. at the same time the home of Herder, of Wieland, of Schiller, ■and of a brilliant circle besides. In this charming court the Duke and Duchess did the honors as host and hostess, as pstron and patroness of letters, of science, and all the arts, with not only the refinement of birth and training, but with the higher grace, of sympathetic feeling and intellectual merit. It wis a unique and remarkable spectacle thi. tiny realm, with most nf the titles and appurtenances of an empire, this school of poetry and the fine arts, with royal fosterparents, this grouping of great men and clever and fascinating women. It was a period of brilliant bloom and splendid fruit- age, and though oftentimes excessive snd extravagant in certain phases of its development, was after all the very golden era of German literature. Weimar is a charmingly irregular old town, with here and there open "Places," surrounded with quaint and antique buildings, and beautified with many statues and memorial monuments. The lsrge park which sweeps about one side of it, and wanders in a delightful way up near to the homes of the perfple, gives great beauty to the place. This is the park which the Grand Duke and Goethe and all the friends liked so well, and which to my fancy seems to be more alive with memories of them, than the old stone houses and palaces which are shown you here. There is within this verdant world a white cottage covered with climbing roses, where Goethe loved most of all to live, Away from men and where he drew in long drafts of inspiration from the beautiful scenes about him. 1 wonder if in a dumb, dim way, the trees and the meadows and the gently murmuring river llm, flowing onward through the forest, do not miss their old friend and lover. Certainly this wss the very home for a poet. As we stand before it for a little while in the early summer twilight, we do not wonder at hi. choice. Full hearted roses, open lavishly their stores of beauty to us. The air is perfumed with the faint odor of new-mown-hay, which lies in long golden drifts between us snd the river. To right snd left stretches away a broad open road, which leads off to the world, which just now doe. not claim us. but which it is well after all to know exists. Behind and before are the woods, with their shadowy depths and tremulous lights, and above a summer sky fading through a thousand marvels of light and tinting into the twilight and the night. Following the road (till further on, we come to the royal chateau of Belvedere, which commands a fine view of the surrounding picturesque country. From this point to the town in the plain below, leads sway one of the finest avenue. 1 know of in Europe. The house, where Goethe and Schiller lived, with various relic, of them both are .till preserved. Goethe's wss a fine impos- FRIEND, OCTOBER I*Bo ing mansion befitting a minister of the Grand Duke. And after seeing where they lived, when here among men, you can also see where their bodies have been placed now that ihe spirits have flown. The beautiful old cemetery where they are entombed with t«ken the train thither, had time for saun- tering and driving in its winding streets and were back again with our friends in the German Athens, before the clock in the old church tower had decided to strike the hour of ten. Early as we started, the sun was ahead of us, and was sending lor.g slant arrows of light through the fields of summer grain and over the grassy slopes still silvered with the moist touch of the night. Men stood in the fields ready for the peaceful campaign of the day, and as we swept by, leaned for a moment in unconscious grace on the long handle of their fresh whetted scythes, which should before the twilight lay low the gleaming ranks of grain. The birds too were awake before us, and sang in answering chorus to the low murmur of insectlife and rustling leaves, the morning hymn of nature and the country. Our road grew more and more picturesque as we advanced, rising from rolling wave-like fields to lofty hills with wooded slopes. Jena lies in a graceful amphitheatre of hills, which serve as an exquisite setting for the grey towers, venerable with age, and the high and pointed red-tiled rools of the little town in the valley beneath. It seems sadly inappropriate, that this peaceful town, devoted to the arts and the sciences, should have given its name to that fierce battle-field near by, rendered celebrated through the fierce contest waged there between the French and Prussians so many long years ago. But no echo of this seems now to survive here. Jena has been the seat of a renowned university for more than three centuries, which still occupies an honorable place in Germany, famed for its institutions of learning. There is a charmingly primitive appearance about the town, its streets and ancient houses, extending even to its well-kept garden, and arching avenues. We found Jena slowly coming back to life, after the rest of the night. The good citizens tarried for a moment in their blossoming gardens, where white lilies lifted their head, coronetted with rain-drops, and then went forth for the more resolute action of daily business. School children came up the street with bags of books on their arms and smiles on their faces. Here and there a student passed on to an early lecture. In Jena still stand, the old inn of"The Bear," where Dr. Martin Luther after his "Patmos Exile" on the Wartburg, tarried while on hi. way to Wittenberg. It was here, that that very interesting conversation was held by him with certain Swiss students, of which we find so quaint and entertaining an account in the old churches. There is a delightful old custom in Jena which I wish might be copied in other university and college towns. When any fludent of the university, who has passed out into active life, has done anything to honor himself and hi. Alma Mater, hi. name is placed in a little tablet on the house where he lodged while here. You walk here as it were through a gallery of celebrated names. We found a keen enjoyment in thus tracing down through centuries, famous and now historic names to these simple and unpretentious student homes, ft was in a certain way, to have these men, some of whom have had their names long starred among the immortals, back again with us in the freshness, some of the grand dukes, ha. a certain charm and interest, even if melancholy. You would find the plain tomb by passing down the main avenue, where the linden trees meet nnd entwine like a gothic arch. In the early morning the place is vocal with birds. Herder', statue stands appropriately before the massive ancient church where he preached, near which he lived and died, and in whose nave he lies buried, beneath a slab bearing his motto, Licht, Liebe. Leben, (Life, Love. Life). In another street you would find the house of Wieland. The Ducal palace is an immenseaffair near the river and the park, very grand in its way, but nevertheless, we are told, Goethe's friend, the Grand Duke, preferred getting away from it to the poet's cottage with its roses and the society of its owner. If the poets have been the glory of Weimar—Weimar acknowledge, this in many grateful, reverent ways. But in no more graceful way than in those exquisite rooms in the palace, ornamented with paintings illustrating the works of those who have contributed most to the renown of the town. Facing the principal court, there is a charming balcony, festooned with the most perfect wreaths of natural ivy, which makes of the place a sort of bower, and which date from Goethe's day. This was one of his favorite nooks. I would not advise any driving business man, whose time is limited, to come to Weimar. I think an inforced stay of a few hours would render him insane. It is the quietest of quiet places, a delicious place for revery and dreaming and everything of that kind; but the people there have a ghostly way of flitting about like figures in a dream. A solitary soldier in flaming uniform, crosses the "Place" and then fades away you scarcely know how. Women fill their immense bucket, at the quaint fountain, surmounted by a lazy lion in stone, gazing patiently forward, and then depart in long lines like those weary of life. And the withered old lady with her stores of summer sweetness, gathered into purple plums and downy peaches, waits at the corner for buyers who never come. But as 1 was saying, it is a place of the dead and not of the living. Come here with this idea and you will never weary of the place; you learn to love it, for what it once was, and hence, in a certain way eternally is; for its memories, not its hopes; for its streets where great men walked, for the graves where they lie. early morning in an old university town. Some places are, like flowers seen at their best " with the dew on them." While others, as certain busy marts ofCommerce and traffic, should never be visited in the early morning, but only in the rush and tumult of high noon. To the first class 1 am persuaded the peaceful old university town of Jena belongs. At least, seeing it the other morning in those sweet, fresh hours of the day, when a large part of the world is asleep, and finding it so winningly beautiful, I have been led to this conclusion. Though Jena lie. some miles away from the town of Weimar, we had in the hopefulness, in th* bloom of their �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, young manhood, with brow, showing the crown of genius, unhidden by the laurel chaplets, yet to be placed there by the world. It was a goodly company; and the day seemed to grow the brighter tor these names, written in plain letters on white walls, circled by wreaths of vines and summer verdure. I noticed those of Novalis, of. sacred memory, Klopstork, Goethe, Schiller, and a host of others, dear to all German hearts. Here in Jena, Goethe wrote his exquisite poem "Hermann and Dorothea," and Schiller "Wallenstein." If you find memories and names, you find also statues in bronze and marble, looking out from amid the shelter and embrace of drooping trees. The little town university does not. forget the sons who have gathered here strength for the work and mission of life: And the work still goes forward here. As we stood for a moment under the elms near the university, we could hear the words of some lecturer, unfolding truths new and old to his listening students. Pleasantest of all, however, of the innocent sensations of this early morning visit, was that afforded us by a little troop of choir boys who crossed our path. The good old custom still survives here, (so well known in Luther's days), of permitting the choir boys to sing in the village streets. I quite forgot the century and felt as if Martin Luther, the sweet boy chorister of Eisenach, and his little companions, were singing for us. They all wore solemn little cloaks of biack, their black hats also brought their sweet pale faces into pathetic relief, for ynu saw and felt that they ate the hard bread of charity. But how they sang! The morning air seemed vibrant with delicious melody, and the bird, hushed their songs in the trees. You would have wondered with me at the exquisite training of these young voices and at their fine rendering of old German songs and chorals. We heurd them in delighted surprise and these hymns of the early morning, sung by these young musicians who seemed to come to us as a vision of the middle ages, vanishing again, have echoed in our hearts ever since. But if we tarry too long we fear the dew will vanish, and perhaps with it the charm of the place and so "good, morning" to Jena! A MEMORABLE BATTLE-FIELD. Leipsic is an interesting and animated city, one of the most enterprising business centers in Europe, for centuries attracting buyers and sellers from all parts of the world. from the far east and south, to its spring and autumn fairs, the greatest book emporium in the world, possesses an ancient and renowned university, and is famous for its musical advantages; but though interested in all these points, the principal objects which attracted my attention in a recent visit to this bustling city were those connected with that great battle which occurred near Leipsic in 1813 and invaded these now peaceful streets. Every school boy has, I imagine, fought out in fancy the battle of Waterloo which occurred two year, later. I had the pleasure, a melancholy pleasure however, last summer of standing on the memorial bill, crowned by its crouching lion, and of surveying this great historic field where Napoleon's sun went down. I am not quite sure whether the field of Leipsic is as familiar to all, and 75 1880. yet the battle here waged wss the most prolonged and sanguinary which history records. Troubled as our own day still is with wars and rumors of wars, we can scarcely now have an idea of the great storm waves the restless genius and insatiable ambition of Napoleon raised in Europe in the early part of this century. They rose into a wild burst of tempestuous fury during those four terrible days from 16th to 19th October, ISI3, when nearly half a million of men met in fearful combat within sight of the churchspires of Leipsic. It seems almost incredible that such numbers could have been gathered together, yet history records that on the side of the allies in this "Battle of the Nations," were 300.000 men. Napoleon had something like 150,000 troops. The allies consisted of the Russians, Aostrians, Prussians. The place where the tragedy of these four bloody days was enacted, is admirably adapted to serve as a field for the handling of such immense bodies of men. It is less beautiful and picturesque than Waterloo, which possesses more elevated points. But it would seem almost as if in mine way this great plain stretching away for mdes had been created for some such purpose, as that which gives it such celebrity in history. On a slight elevation to the south, Napoleon had taken his position and watched the progress of the battle from this point. Surrounded by these golden fields of ripening grain, stretching far away to the verdant groupings of trees Nearer the city, rejoicing in all this summer beauty, in the blue of the afternoon sky, in the prosperous scenes of country life, in a thousand tokens of peace and plenty, I found it far from easy to realize that so many thousands here suffered and died on the very ground 1 was standing. There seemed a mute protest in this loveliness of the natural world against the passion, the blood-thirstiness, the revenge, the ambition of men. A shadow for the moment seemed to come across the shining of the sun, as I thought of the agony, of the wailing, of the woe of those autumn days, of all those maimed bodies which were laid away under these same gleaming harvest-fields, of the blood which stained the soil about me. Thousands and thousands died here. This lovely country is one vast burying-ground, and you almost ilreati to part the standing grain, and gather the field-daisies and poppies, for fear somewhere not far below lie hideous relics of the ghastly conflict. A maimed and crippled soldier who was wounded in the Danish war some years ago, act. as our guide. On a height facing the Napoleon-hill far away in the blue distance, the then monarchs of Russia, Austria and Prussia, met to give thanks for their victory. The spot is marked by an obelisk. Our soldier friend is a cheery fellow, with all his troubles. He and bis good frau live in a little cottage near by, and to every new comer they tell over the story of the battle, which they have learned by heart. They show you bone, and skulls and ru.ty sword, and broken guns, and all manner of dreadful things which they have picked up here. In different parts of the field and in the woods near by are monuments to mark the spot where officers of distinction fell. Involuntarily as you wander over this storied battle-ground, you feel the presence of armed hosts, the shock of contending forces, the wild ruth ofcavalry, bear the thunder of the cannon, the cries of the victors, the groans of the dying. It all grow, fearlully real, and you are glad to find it only a fancy. But what a reality it once wa«! There is a monument to mark the spot where Napoleon stood. You see here the famous Napoleon hat copied -in bronze. Not far away is a spring now sealed over our garrulous coachman tells u. that Napoleon drank here, and that since then the water ha. poi- — soned all who have tasted it. Will you believe bis story ? There are stories and dotes without end connected with various* points. It would be interesting to tell some of them, if one had but the time. But we must leave them now and the battle-field, and be back again in Leipsic before the July sun has gone down behind the fruit trees bordering our western horizon. DRESDEN AND ITS MADONNA. Few continental cities are so well known to the Americans as Dresden, the capital ■ A kingdom of Saxony. It is a source of*sJsWi pleasure to me to think that perhaps in some chance moment, some one who ha. been in Dresden may glance at these hastily written lines, and at the sight of this city's name (so potent is the spell ol some names) recall pleasant memories of this charming city on the Elbe. The wealthy and splendor loving king, and prince, who have made their home here for centuries, have filled the city with richest stores of art, and its cabinets of jewels, its museums, its picture-gallery, attract thousand/ of visitors and admirers And then the town is delightful in itself; life is quieter here than in many larger centers, and yet the advantages for intellectual improvement, for musical culture, and for social entertainment are excellent. The neighboring country, especially up the river into the fine bold scenery of Saxon Switzerland, is in summer most admirably adapted for pleasant trip, and excursions. We found Dresden gay with all its summer life, and the usual gaiety was heightened by the fetes connected with the visit to the oty of all the fire companies of Saxony. The place was decked out with a multitude of fluttering banners and leafy garlands and festoons, which gave it a very holiday appearance. The Briihl Terrace i. a charming tree-planted promenade, stretching some distance along the Elbe. On a summer evening, a.the sun is going down, a .troll is delightful here. The air is filled with the music of bands on both side, of the river, and the walks are crowded with people enjoying the evening air. How Germany and the visitor, to Germany enjoy the beauty of summer when it at last comes, for its coming i. often late. From the terrace the river crossed by massive and ancient stone bridges, and the city beyond with spire, and domes, come finely into view. The Elbe grows softly flushed with the waning light, which is deepened into rich shadow, under the great arches of the bridges, and if you wait a little longer, the moon comes up full orbed from behind the wooded hills, and makes of the city and its river a silvery picture. An enumeration of the various objects and points of interest to be seen in Dresden would, in the brief space allowed me, be impossible, even were such an enumeration de- �76 I II X sirable. You would find much to interest you in the famous "green vaults" beneath the palace, where the costliest and rarest treasure.are gathered,and yet your pity rises with your interest as you survey these accumulation, of material wealth. Their owners have passed way one generation after another, and these carven ivory trinkets, these gold and crystal goblets, these marvels of workmanship in silver and precious stones, gathered here in such lavish abundance; seem to serve as a pathetic commentary on all thing, earthly and human. The crown and other jewels are among the finest known, end are valued at fabulous sums. One learn, in the midst of such rare gems to appreciate the beauty of those subtle and delicate manifestation, of color and brilliancy, which seem to belong to genuine precious stone, as perfume to certain fragrant woods. The library ol Dresden is one of the finest in Europe, and in the collections of antiquities and especially in the admirably arranged rooms appropriated to armor you hours. might spend many most The central point of infßßhowever of the city is its superb Picture Gallery, which is one of the artistic glories of Germany and Northern Europe. Few if any galleries of the old world possess so many paintings familiar to visitors from the other side of the Atlantic a. this in Dresden. There is a delightful sensation on seeing the originals of these paintings, which from childhood have been known to you through engravings or other reproductions. You would find here Corregio's "Holy Night." that most beautiful of paintings'in which it would seem as if a celestial light streamed from the form nf the infant Christ; also the famous "Magdalens" of Corregio and Battoni; Titian's "Tribute Money"; Carlo Dolci'a "St. Cecilia"; splendid canvasses of Paolo Veronese; works by Rubens, by Rembrandt and a host of other celebrated painters. The especial treasure of the gallery however, is the "Sisterie Madonna," one of the masterpieces of the great Raphael,—known the world over. It is placed in a cabinet alone, and before it you always find a group of reverent and admiring visitors. There is as every one knows and feels, far too much of exaggerated artistic emotion expressed by great many travelers, and one scarcely in a healthy stale of mind at least, sympathizes with those who say that after seeing the "Sisterie Madonna," life can have nothing more in store for them. But leaving aside sUch undue and absurd feeling, we would join with those, 1 trust the large majority, who find in thi. beautiful painting of the Madonna and the Holy Child much to awaken tenderestand most reverential emotion at the thought of the subject, united with admiration of the artist's genius which has in so wonderful a manner placed the same before our human gaze. Every one is I am sure familiar with the general idea of the painting. The Madonna bearing in her arms the Infant Jesus, beneath the FRIEND, OCTOBER. I»,8 0 ceptions of the Virgin Mother and Child impress you with the beauty and fullness of the pure and unstained humanity and innocent simplicity disclosed in them. In this painting of Raphael, however, you seem to stand in the presence of a lofty spirituality. The Madonna takes her place as the most honored and exalted among her sex, and is here crowned with the beauty of a sacred maturity which if it does not raise her to the height of the Divine, seems to lift her above the level of the Human. Her eyes look filled with the glorious awe, which must have lighted those of the Hebrew maid bending before the Angel of the Annunciation and which shone still through the mother's tears at the foot of the uplifted Cross. And yet the Mother of our Lord, the kneeling saints, the cherub worshipers, the countless angelic throng, dawning faintly like stars in the misty cloud-depths of the back-ground, fade away before the Lord Himself, no less Divine because He bore the vesture of our weak Humanity, and rose through all the stages of our growth from clinging infancy great pity that the education of deserving Hawaiian youth abroad was not entrusted to the Board of Education under suitable regulations, not committed to such a notorious adventurer as C. C. Moreno. Under suitable condition, the experiment might have proved a brilliant success; now, we can only forebode a disgraceful failure. MARINEJOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU. S. I.

The weather has been unexceptionally good, thus affording a rare opportunity for visiting places of historic interest, including Potsdam, so intimately associated with Frederick the Great and those renowned characters of the eighteenth century who graced his court and rendered his reign among the most renowned in history of the sovereigns of modern Europe. It is quite noteworthy, that while revolution has succeeded revolution, yet the reigning sovereigns of the successive governments have preserved intact the old palaces, and theinarecal furniture and adornments, so that the visitor ot the closing years of the nineteenth century can walk through halls and courtly apartments, just as they are left by the kit gs and queens of former ages. The very playthings and toys of Frederick the Great, not omitting his "little boots" and drum when a lad, are now on exhibition, while room after room is to be seen filled with the furniture and robes of both kings and queens who have long since surrendered their thrones to their successors. On this account Berlin is a most interesting city to visit. But forsaking thepast, the living present is equally interesting. The month of June, 1880, is especially noteworthy in Berlin for having witnessed the Fishery Exhibition. At first thought one might ask, what of interest could be awakened in the general public by an exhibition of this nature? A person had only to walk through the halls and rooms devoted to an exhibition of the wonders of the deep, and he would not ask the question a second time. The words of the psalmist come to mind, as a visitor examines the rare pearls, the innumerable species of fish, the strange monsters, the beautiful corals, and the endless variety of unknown creatures that find their home beneath the surface of the ocean : "O Lord, how manifold Commercial & Statistical are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches. So And Tourists' Guide, is this great and wide sea, wherein are NOW READY FOR DELIVERY. things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts." PRICE, 83.00.

The reading world hasrecently been favored with a most charming book entitled "Memoirs of yon Baroness Bunsen," in whicfi is depicted with rare and delicate ability by Julius Hare the home life o( the yon Bunsen'family. It is such a volume as we should be glad' to learn was read in every family of the English speaking apople throughout the world. The book was noticed some months ago in the pages of The Friend. On coming to Europe we deemed it a rare privilege to have become acquainted with members of this family, and on one occasion to have met three of the children of the Baron and Baroness, and five of their grand-daughters. EXCURSION TO HAMBURG AND BREMEN. In visiting the old world it is pleasant to meet with those in the great' commercial cities who are engaged in that department of Christian work, which for so many years has occupied our thoughts and enlisted our sympathies and prayers. When passing through Liverpool, Glasgow and London, we often conferred with those who are laboring for seamen. Since arriving in Europe we were requested to be present at Hamburg on the 21st of June, at the inauguration of the Sailors' Institute, as the representative of the American Seamen's Friend Society of New York. For many years, even for more than half a century, the Bethel Flag has been hoisted in Hamburg. The friends of the seamen's cause in that city one year ago laid the corner stone of the Sailors'lnstitute, and since then a fine building has been erected at the cost of about 810,000 upon land costing an equal amount, hence the formal opening of the institute was deemed to be an event worthy of special note. The following programme will indicate the nature of the exercises on this interesting occasion: The Inauguration of the British* and American Sailors' Institute, 29 Sandthor Quay, in connection with The British & Foreign Sailors' Society of London arid'the American Seamen's Friend Society of rtew York, Will take place at 7 p. rti.

The Right Hon. the Lord Garvagh will deliver an address and declare the building open, to be used for the purposes for'which it was erected. The Treasurer F.

Dr. Damon of Honolulu, that this international institute and undenominational mission is worthy of the most generous support. Supported by Baron yon Oertzen. Proposed by tho Rev. C. F. Weidemann of Hamburg, seconded by the Rev. J. Edwards of Hamburg, that the warmest thanks of this meeting be given to the Right Hon.

Weideman.n, Jams! Edwards, Secretaries. The exercises proved most satisfactory to all the friends of seamen who are laboring so energetically to provide preaching and wholesome entertainment for them while ashore in this most ancient port of the old city of Hamburg, whose commerce has been in a most flourishing condition since the days of the old Hanseatic League, when Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck, and other maritime cities combined bined for the protection of commerce and against those old Vikings of the north, whose swift craft ploughed the German ocenn and occasionally made depredations upon the rich cities of Western Europe, laying them under tribute. It was a great pleasure to visit Hamburg and look out upon a place which may be well proud of its wealth and enterprise, its prosperous merchants and bold mariners. It is a beautiful city, and with its charming Alster Lake in its bosom, beautified by its swiftflying steamers and white swans with their arching necks, presented one of the most rare spectacles from the windows of "Hotel dc l'Europe," upon which we ever gazed. The environs of the city and the banks of the Elbe, adorned with the residences of the rich merchants of Hamburg, are equally beautiful. We spent a Sabbath there, and visited two of the churches built in the style of mediaeval ages, with a mixture of modern architecture. We did not omit a visit to the famous "Rauhe Hans" and Klopstock grave. But we must hurry away to Bremen. With no city of Europe have we been more familiar during the past forty years. During the early years of our labors in Honolulu, Bremen whaleships very frequently came under our notice. We account it among the very pleasant experiences of our European visit, to have been met at the railroad station by our old friends Mr. and Mrs. Hackleld, to whose kind attentions we are under the greatest obligations. We did not feel the least strangeness on thus enter- ing a city which we had never seen or visited before. We hardly know with what words to express the delightful experiences of our stay of a few days in Bremen. Honolulu and Bremen seemed strangely and delightfully mingled, while the past and the FRIEND.

Readng • At a meeting of the trustees of Kaumakapili Church held on the evening of the 28th ult., after the preliminary business was concluded, Rev. M. Kuaea, the pastor and building committee of the new church, informed the members that it was his wish and intention to confer with them in all matters relating to the building of the new edifice. After a short discussion it was carried unanimously, that the trustees should act as That an advisory committee with him. everything pertaining to the tearing down of the old, and the erection of the new building should come before them and receive their approval and sanction before entering upon the work. The trustees also have the full control of the money that has been collected, about 115,000, not a dollar of which can be paid out without their order. We hope that Mr. D. L. Moody will be able to accept the invitation of the Y. M. C. A. to come on to Honolulu, when his visit to San Francisco has been completed. He could find plenty of work to do for a while, and would undoubtedly accomplish a great deal of good here. He has been very successful elsewhere, and why should he not be here. The various churches will co-operate with him, and he will have all the assistance that the association can render. We had the pleasure of hearing him four times in the Hippodrome in New York City in 1876.

And here we are "in Bohemia—that of geography and history—and not that other intangible and indefinable realm, which exists everywhere, and is acknowledged no where, the Bohemia of art and letters, of clever doing and idle dreaming, that airy and uncertain Bohemia, known, perhaps better to many, than the fair land of which the grand old city of Prague is the capital. The Bohemia which we are now entering is one of the finest provinces in that great Austro-Hungarian empire which occupies so important a portion of central and southeastern Europe, and which embraces so many and differing peoples, covering an area of something like 250,000 square miles, and possessing a population of nearly thirtyeight million souls. Having found so much to interest me in this immense nntiomtl amalgamation ruled over by the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, 1 feel tempted to add a few facts relative to the country, thinking they might prove of interest lo others. It borders upon many of the most important divisions of Europe, extending from Prussijt a id Saxony on the north to Turkey, the Adriatic, and Italy on the South; from Turkey and Russia on the east to Switzerland and Italy on the west, comprising the provinces of Upper and Lower Austria, Tyrol and Vorarlberg, Salzburg, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Istria, the Bukovina, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Galicia; then Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia, Sclavonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Novia Bazar, and Turkish Croatia. And in these dwell many races, speaking various languages Germans, Slaves, Roumanians, Hungarians or Magyars, etc., etc. Here, one meets Roman Catholics, members of the Greek Church, Protestants, and Jews. The present Emperor of this heterogenius family is FrancisJoseph I, born in 1830. His son, the young and talented Crown Prince Rudolph, was recently betrothed to the daughter of the King of Belgium Since 1866 Austria has been deprived of the nominal leadership of Germany, which Prussia has now taken. Hungary, a great and proud and powerful division of the Empire, bas now its own self-government, under the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary. The united Empire is one of the most important in Europe. It possesses a great and welldrilled army. Its products are varied, und large portions of its area are exceedingly fertile. For centuries it has had a proud history, and has held itsWf with haughty and imperial pride. The young Crown Prince promises to be a man who will wisely mid skillfully manage tie great country of which, some day, he will be the head. The various elements of which the 'Empire is composed will render this far from easy, as they have occasioned difficulties in the past, but this young scion of the proud old house of the Hapsburgs, with wise advisers, may : succeed, notwithstanding the gloomy fore- bodings of some prophets of our day, in cementing them in lasting union. From the very first day of our arrival in Bohemia snd st Prague, 1 felt as if 1 hsd entered upon one of the most interesting ified with each succeeding day of our stay Here for centuries, —from days now li«hted by faint taper gleams ofhistoric record have been enacted some of the most important acts in the gieut drama of European growth and developement. Prague stands in the clear light of our modern day, like some mighty tablet or chronicle in stone, of olden times, on which the records nf vanished centuries hnve been written. On crumbling walls, in dimly lighted ancient streets and lanes, in huge palaces and towering dome." and towers, one traces the mighty and solemn characters of this story of the ages. Prague is beuulilully situated on the Moldau, which divides the city into two Its inhabitants are Germans portions. (Austrians) sod Bohemians or Czechs, who are of Slavonic origin. The two languages, Bohemian and German are in use, and from the first you are struck by the signs, and notices and placards and newspapers in both languages. '1 he city is like so many of the European cities, being now much improved; new streets are being opened and old ones widened. The evident desire of the people in many parts of Europe to creep out of the old und diny portions of their ancient cities into more sunlight and sweeter air is a most encouraging sign and cannot be too much praised. While, however, the traveler prefers to have his hotel in the modern part of an old world city, he, as a genenl rule, spends a large portion of his rambling time in just those fascinating historic nooks, and uncomfortable streets and dingy by-ways where he would scarcely like to live. And this is most true of Prague, one of the most intensely absorbing cities, in all the world for any one of antiquarian taste.. AN ANCIENT JEWISH CEMETERY. Nothing in all this city of multitudiness memories is more impressive and singular than the history of the Jewish portion of its population, Indeed, the Jews are the most astonishing riddle of our day. You need to live but a very short time in Europe, certainly in Germany to feel this. You cannot crush them if you would. Should you endeavor to do this, as certain named and unchristian people would now do, and have tried to do for centuries, you would find them more than a match for you. After ages ol of bitpersecution terest and most unrelenting persecution and from assailants immensely superior in numbers ; after attacks by fire and sword, followed by the pitiless hate and contempt of hostile nations which has not yet died out ; after all this, and infinitely more besides, tbis little handful of an exiled and homeless race, rises undaunted and victorious, and throws the gauntlet back in the face of its opponents. Ihe are the moneykings of the earth ; they furnish many of the cleverest writers ot our times—they are invading all branches of literature and of art, of politics, and have a key ready at hand for all opposing doors and barriers.

For one, I confess they, and their past and their future, would be to me a Sphinx with closed lips, were it not for the illumined page of pro- — — continuation of that policy which so many there are just at present A broader endeavoring to inaugurate. charity, and a heartier spirit of toleration, would, I am convinced, more quickly lead them to a belief in Him, whom we call our Head and Leader, aud yet who was on earth a Jew. The Jews have been for many centuries in Prague, and there are at the present day about twenty thousand living there. There is a part of the city colled the Jewish Quarter, which cannot fail to interest the majority of travelers. Here, the poorer portion of the Jewish population live, there domain however having been invaded in the course of time by many Christians, still poorer. In the very heart of the city, surrounded by crowded and narrow streets, is an ancient Israelilish burial ground, which is amon"; the most remarkable antiquities of Bohemia, and even of Europe Yon would find a guide almost necessary to lend you there, so hidden away, is it in this singular labyrinth of lanes and dwellings. I remember we visited it first towards evening ; the cominp twilight seemed singularly in harmony with the strange old place. The streets were filled with people of the poorer classes, of women holding children, and chatting in groups; of men talking after the work of the day; of the out-door life which floods the poorer streets of a city on a summer evening. From this city of the living we passed to that of the dead, from the murmur and babel of human speech, the mingled cries and laughter of the crowd outside to the solemn hush and stillness within, the quietness of death and the past. 1 have visited many cemeteries, (since, for me, they have a singular fascinabut 1 have never seen nor expect to see anything again quite like this. At first I scarcely could recognize it as a resting place of the departed. About us were huge masses of stone, forming rough and singular mounds or ridges. It seemed like some strange geological formation, struck out in great hot waves in some long ago period of the earth's wild passion of growth, and then grown still and cold, like a frozen sea, with after ages. Or. as if here had once stood some sione built city, which had been thrown doun by the shock of an earthquake, and left shattered in ruins. But as the eye grows wonted to its surroundings you find that you are encircled by hundreds, by thousands ot ancient burial stones, which lie heaped and crowded upon one another in strange confusion, layer after layer. The ground is sown with them, so thickly that in some places there seems to be scarce room for a blade of grass in the spring to unfold its message of hope and the resurrection. About you on every side, are long rows and ridges of these huge ungainly stones, so old and bowed by the centuries that they appear to huddle together for support. You feel that they fill the the ground beneath your feet, down, down in long funeral strata, raising the surface of the cemetery many feet above its old level till you stand now far higher than those who came here to mourn a thousand years and more ago. And here, where they have found room, trees,alders and others, have grown over this stony foundsamong them, by a �THE FiIIEND, tion, and stand now as shadowy, solemn guardians of these ancient precincts, and in company with these, vines and creepers, and all manner of wild undergrowth which seem to love such spots, and gray mosses and pale, ghostly lichens have framed this strange, ancient picture, in a wild fantastic setting You could scarcely wish for, or imagine a stranger, more weird nook than this old Jewish Burial Ground. And here for many ages the Jews of Prague have laid away their dead and raised these stones to their memory, which later ages come to read and wonder nt. Tradition says that after the destruction of Jerusalem under the Romans, some of the wanderers and fugitives reached this distant land, and here made their home on the shores of the Moldau. Just when this cemetery was first used, it is scarcely possible now to say; but there is a grave stone still to be seen here, the oldest of all now known, the date upon which, in the Hebraic reckoning answers to the year 606 of the Christian eru. Over the grave of Sara, wife of the Aronite Joseph, nearly thirteen centuries have passed ! How much of history has been lived since these "strangers in a si range land " laid one of their little company away here to rest, lar from the hills of Judea, and that loved home in the East And here with the succeeding centuries they brought their dead, but about a hundred years ago they were f.rbidden to do so by the Emperor, and since then this strangely, interesting spot has been left as we see it today. The stones are of all kinds, from those of the humblest members of the-fraternity up to those marking the spot where some ennobled Jew or distinguished Rabbi, or scholar famous for Ins Talmudic knowledge is laid. They are carved sometimes with various symbols, a pitcher designates the tribe of Levi, two hands that of Aaron, etc. As we wandered about in the cemetery we could hear the sinning of a number of Jewish young men and boys, who were practicing under a chorister near by. With the gathering twilight, the shadows and memories of the place,and the music, ol the sweet, clear voiced singers, one could scarcely fail to be touched nnd moved. There are several synagogues in Prague, but the most interesting is the so-caled AltelNeuSchule. It is situated near the cemetery of which I have been speaking, and with it is said to be some thirteen centuries old. One could easily believe this, looking at its time-stained walls. Here in the fourteenth century, S fearful tragedy was enacted. In this synagogue, hundreds of Jews were killed by the Christians—men, women and children,—at that terrible time when so many Jews were murdered in different parts of Europe On the gloomy, dusky walls, our old guide pointed out ugly 1 spots which he said were the blood felt glad to be out of this dark, dreary building, tottering with age, black and smokestained It seemed as if the cries of the murdered women and children rang in it still. stains! — HUSS AND JEROME, " Two of the greatest harbingers of the Reformation," lived and preached, and bore faithful witness to the truth in Prague.

We found out their little church and exchanged a few friendly words with the faithful head of the little flock. You know the story of those great and grand martyrs who sealed their testimony in the flumes. It is a story one can well afford to re-read and ponder. Here, in Prague, their old home, one seems to feel the might of their presence still. But more yet in Constance, where we were privileged lately to be, and to stand with reverent thought and uncovered head, nenr the spot where flames bore them as in chariots of fire to lhat glory in which they now dwell. We saw here, too, the beautiful Rhine, at its issuing from Lake Constance, upon whose waters the ashes of these faithful servants of God were cast, not to be lost in the hurrying tide, but to incite to high and holy effort men of other ages and other lands, eveu beyond an intervening ocean. Prague witnessed their life, and Constance their death. Living and dying, in Bohemia or far away toward the foot of the Alps, they were heroes, of whom the world should be proud. HEIGHTS." Wander where you will in the old city of Prague, you find the foot-prints of men famous in history. One could linger long here with delight. One day we spent in a part of the city where the ancient palace, cathedral and other important buildings are situated. This portion of Prague is built on a height commanding a superb view of the remainder of the city and the Moldau, and with its splendid medieval edifices and ext usive fortifications, presents Here is the n magnificent appearance. ancient Headschin, or capitol of Prague. Part of this is formed by the cathedral, begun in the fourteenth century. In one of this are preserved the crown the and other insignia of Bohemia. In speaking of these to us, the Sucristan expressed something of that unrest and dissatisfaction which exists without doubt among the real Bohemians, or Czechs. They want the old glory of their kingdom revived, and to have the Austrian Emperor crowned King of Bohemia, as lie is King of Hungary. I scarcely think they will gain this at present, if ever In the Burg, or Imperial Palace, completed by Maria Theresa, is shown the room, from a window, of which Count Thuru caused " two Imperial counselors, Mahuiiiz and Slawatu, to be precipitated, which was the immediate occasion of tli- thirty years war." I looked out of the old window, set with quaint, round panes of glass, down, down, and grew dizzy with looking and thinking of this terrible leap. Not very lar away, further up the hill, is a Capuchin Monastery, where two brothers showed us the relics and treasures of the Monastery and a bedizence chapel, a copy of the pilgrimage chapel of St. Loutto One of them was a fine, manly looking fellow, of about thirty, with a noble head and great blonde beard rising above his cowl, his ignorance and innocence would have touched you. I presume he knew nothing of the world outside of the little country village near by where he was born, and the Convent where, unless some revolution comes, he will die. Of till that lay outside of this he seemed to yearn to know, and especially he asked us " ON THE 83 188 0. about tfie ocean, which he had never seen. I remember his last question was •' Have " Asked you ever seen a storm at sea ? with the eagerness of a boy of ten ! At the Abbey of titration, the same day, we saw one of the finest libraries, as concerns arrangement, 1 have seen in Europe. This splendid Abbey, with its beautiful and costly church, belongs to the wealthy Premonstrateusian Order. It is u stately structure, and grandly plnretl on the heights above the city. In the church are the tombs of St. Norbert and Pappenheim, who fell at Lutzen in 1632. One of the brothers of the Order showed us with great courtesy and politeness the really splendid library here gathered. There, are thirty brothers in the Abbey, and if they look at all like the smiling, cheerful gentleman who, elegant in flowing robes of white Cashmere, and with carefullyoiled locks, accompanied us, they must differ somewhat from the usual idea entertained of the worn and uscetic inmates of Convent cells. From these "upper points of view." where we now are. the picture before us is one which must move and delight everyone permitted to come here at any time ol the tiny, and especially at sunset. We are surrounded by magnificent edifices, palaces, churches, convents, fortifications, which rise from amidst masses of foliage and shrubbery in the valleys between them. As the eye wanders down the slopes, it meets with other palaces—those of Wallenstein and other famous heroes of history—and lofty churches ; and then comes the Moldau—if seen at evening, flowing like some luminous, fiery river beneath its ancient and imposing bridges, decorated with massive and grand groups of statuary. And then still further on the remainder of the city is seen. In the centre rises the old Teytikirche. once the church of the Hussites, aud now of the Catho ics, and which contains the tombstone of the celebratsd Danish astronomer (Tyche Brunei, who died in 1601 ; and near this the Ratlihiins, in front nf which, "in 1621, twenty-seven of the leaders of the Protestants —most of them Bohemian nobles— were executed." Side by side with spires of Christian churches may be noticed the bulbous domes of the Hebrew Synagogues. It is a wonderful, glorious view ! But I have been telling you of much that is sad. Hut it is the story. History and the old streets told to me here in Prague. I wish it micht be otherwise, but neither you nor I can change the past, much as we would like so to do. The tragic records of persecutions, of martyrdoms, of war and pestilence, are written in bold letters, and are the first which meet us when we look back over the way our race has so long been walking down t" the present. There have been sorrow and misery, terrible beyond words, in this old city of Prague ; and the heart aches at the thought of it, and the lip quivers in the telling. But I love to think too of all the joy there has been, the wealth of family happiness in those thousands of homes, nestling under the crags where the citadel clings. And if so much of bitterness and sadness has here blighted and dimmed the beauty of life, God grant that this may now be buried with the past, and that here the the blessings of a lasting peace may abide �84 I II X FRIEND, NOVEMBER. on Protestant and on Catholic, on Christian ancient history joined their forces here to and on Jew. impress the wondering visitor of a later day !

The memory of this little black campaign. It would seem as if nature and coffin laid away in the sad twilight of this Italian Sylvio Pellico, whose pathetic and melancholy story of his dreary captivity has touched so many readers of " I miei, Pritrione," passed eight long, weary years. On our way from Dresden to Prague, we saw another "prison-house," that of Cola di Rienzi, "the ißStof the Tribunes." who was confined in the Castle of Kaudnitz in lIJSO. These prisons and dungeons sadden the fair and beautiful landscape. I rejoice that our century is leveling them, sweeping their gloom away, and making more room for wheat fields, for human happiness and hope. The more one travels the more he learns to welcome the sight of a great and historic river. One may grow tired of many other things, but a stately river flowing from its " Is 8 0 Capuchin crypt has been with me often times since.

And 1 thought of it while standing lately under the gorgeous dome of the " Hotel dcs Invalides," in Paris, where between his faithful Generals, and surrounded by the stately monument of this most imperial and imposing tomb, the great Emperor himself sleeps " the last, long sleep ; " and it s:emed to throw its shadow across those splendid palaces and triumphal arches, and all the brilliant reminders of the father and son. which we have just been seeing in the gay city of Paris. In Paris lies the founder of the line ; here in Vienna his son. In the peaceful hush of Chiselhurst, England, lie the other father and son of the s.me family— one dying in exile, the other in a tar distant land, cut down by fierce and cruel Africans Was ibere ever, in all history, a sadder family record ? It is scarcely a pleasant place to linger ; but before going out again into the morning sunshine, we look for a few moments at one more casket covered with wreaths and palm-branches, and which bears the name of poor Emperor Maximilian, of Mexico One of the wreaths, we are told, was plnced there by his widow, the unfortunate Empress Carlotta, whose jrrief at her husband's sad and terrible end clouded her reason, and who now lives an uncrowned Empress and melancholy mourning widow, near her brother, the King of Belgium. In the Imperial Treasury are to be seen the crown jewels—a glittering array which is not surpassed by the imprisoned fires" of the green vaults of Dresden. But more than anything belonging to the Hapsburg Family, one or two other treasures here carefully preserved attracted my attention. And foremost, and principally, the " Insignia and memorials of the Holy Roman Empire, once preserved at Aixe-la-Chnpelle, and afterwards at Nuremberg; the crown of Charlemagne, the sceptre, imperial globe, coronation robe, sword. &c." Here also you are shown a fragment of the " true cross " (?) said to have pierced our Savior's side. Vienna abounds in stately palaces, the most extensive being that containing the Imperial apartments. Here you see various rooms used by Maria Theresa and Joseph 11. In the magnificent and sumptuous " Rittersaal," the Emperor and Empress of Austria wash the feet of twelve old men and women, on some sucred festival occasion every year! The present Emperor lives generally at Schonbrunn, a beautiful country palnce near Vienna. The Empress's favorite residence is in Buda-Pest, in Hungary. She is said to be very popular with the Hun- ' garians. Frank Williams Damon. Paris, France, August 25, 1880. The Dublin Y. M. C.

CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN GERMANY. Having been detained longer than we anticipated in the German Capital on the morning of July 9th, we hurried away at an early hour, over the broad and level Brandenburg plains for Central Germany. We longed once more to look out upon hills und mountains. We were soon .fully gratified by such a glorious prospect as the Thuringian Forest region of Germany afforded. Green hills, harvest-covered fields, wooded mountains, seemed to our delighted gaze never more exquisitely and mosaically spread out for a charming landscape view. The bright July sky, with all its over-shadowing clouds, only heightened the grand prospect. Our earth may present in many parts beautiful scenery and grand view*, and it has been our privilege to see many of them in various lands under most favorable circumstances; but that prospect from the summit of the elevation, upon which Wartburg Castle stands, where Luther was imprisoned by his friends, certainly equals anything in the way ol landscape scenery we ever viewed. But we are too much carried away with our contemplation of the country to note certain incidents of our journey. Our first stopping place was at Wittenburg, and a visit to the old Monastery where Luther found the Bible, on opening which the text caught his eye:—'The just shall live by faith,"—and he was led to strike the key-note of the Reformation. Of course we visited the old convent with all its reminders of the great Reformer,—the church on the where he nailed his " 9r> doors,—the church where the Communion was celebrated, and was partaken of in both kinds by the people, while just outsideof the city walls the spot is pointed out where Luther burnt ihe Pope's Bull. At present, Wittenburg is a most quiet, sleepy, and unlively city, especially in a hot July day. Hence, as the sun declined, wo hurried away to the busy, stirring and lively Univer•ity-town of Halle, where eight hundred students resort. A thriving business is in progress, and everything and everybody seem awake and alive,—buildings are going up and trade is prosperous. We had hardly time to brush off" the dust of travel, ere a friend, Professor Frausse, whose acquaintance we had formed in Berlin, met us and proposed s row upon the river Saale, which appears to be a most favorite resort of the students and inhabitants of Haile. The evening was most favorable, and the numerous boats on the river, with their gay lanterns and lively boating songs, indicated that while the inhabitants of Halle might work by day, they were fond of evening 1880.

When crossing the Western Prairies we saw immense flocks of birds flying south, as the cold winds and frost were changing the color ofthe forest foliage. We were glad to follow their example and hurry our escape from the chilly winds and frost-bitten lands of the north to the sunny skies and mild regions of the Pacific Islands. Our limits will not allow us to describe our homeward journey. In another part of our sheet, our journal breaks off at Paris. Passing through Brussels and Antwerp, in Belgium, we embarked trom the latter city, Sept. 4th, for New York. After spending a few days among friends, in New England, we crossed the Continent. On arriving in San Francisco it was our privilege to attend the opening meetings of Moody and Sankey. Embarking on the 21st we arrived safely on the 28th ulf Our entire trip has been most agreeable and satisfactory. Gladly would we mention names of persons and families contributing to our happiness and welfare. In our fond recollections of friends and places in foreign lands, we do not forget our great indebtedness to friends and parishioners near home, who have so kindly contributed by their aid to render it pleasant and easy for us, to be temporarily absent from our pulpit, parish and editorial chair.

Here, you know, was the birth-place of Mozart, the Great Musician. Not so very far away from Salzburg, (a charming early morning drive, when the woods arc cool and fresh, and the birds are waking, and the towering Alps above you w»rtri their cold granite faces in the rosy light of the new day), lies that " Happy Valley " where the little village of Bcrchtesgnuden nestles in the embrace of grand mountains, in Summer reveling in a perfection of natural beauty, (in contrast with which the dreams ofpainters nnd poets seem empty and colorless), i.nd in Winter biding itself away from the world behind almost impassible barriers of gleaming ice and snow. Just beyond this fuvoretl spot lies the famous lake, called by the Germans " Konigs-See,' and worthy ol all royal honor it is. I think you must be familiar with its appearance, lor hosts of artists have for years " pitched their cump " here, and have tried to catch on their canvas the deep, mysterious green of its waters. I have seen no where else such marvelous coloring, you seem to sail over a sea of liquid emerald. From all this picturesque nnd refreshing region which is the charm and boast of Austria and Bavaria, for here amid mountains and lakes, boundary lines run in and out in a queer zig-zag sort of way, we came to Munich, of which fascinat- ing city crowded with rarest an-treassures, I wou d have much to tell you were 1 not enger to get further on—and to the real goal of this monthly letter But before telling you what I have seen in Ober-Atnnier Gau, I must tell you why I came in the first place to think of visiting Ober-Ammer Gau at all. There is one advantage in writing to one at a distance, over telling anything to a Iriend near at hand, viva vocei you can in the former case tell your story to the end without fear of having it " nipped in the bud " at the very beginning. Some day you may me that the Passion tell the history of " Play" had grown trite und wearisome to you from innumerable accounts of the same which have come to your notice for months; that you have read descriptions of this Peasant Performance until you desire something new, and that now you are better instructed in reference to its peculiar and interesting details than your latest informant. But as yet, 1 do not know a word of all this, you see, and hence in my innocent enthusiasm can tell you an old story with the joy of one who feels he is telling something new. There will be this comfort for me, if ever I find out my mistake, that what 1 have to tell is worthy of being oft repeated, and that any copy of so good a picture, however poor, however hasty and unworthy, may still be a source of pleasure to some. If we trace the History of the Church and Literature back into the middle ages, we come upon the first traces of these representations in dramatic form of biblical themes, of which this " Passion Play " of the Bavarian-Tyrol is the finest specimen, and which is the only thing of the kind really worthy of mention, still existing to remind us of what was once so great a source of pleasure DECEMBER and often tjmes of profit, undoubtedly, to a very large portion of the peasantry especially, in a number of the European countries The early ' mysteries " of which we read, and which treated mainly of the Life, Passion and Resurrection of our Savior seem to have been first in vogue in the llth, perhaps, however as early as the 9th century. They were first given in the churches, but later, owing to their being treated in a too secular manner were transferred to the open fields or church-yard. While some of them undoubtedly were given in a reverent and religious spirit, others were marred by a course and revolting realism which seems to have been more in harmony with the spirit of these ages than with ours. In Italy, France, Germany and England daring successive centuries these representations stem to have been most popular. In England there were the " mysteries," the " moralities and the " miracles." Sometimes they were given in a most elaborate manner and continued for days. In Southern Germany, they seem to have been, especially popular among the people. And it is in the little mountain village of Ober-Ammer Gau, in the highlands of Bavaria, where the cerm of this mediaeval Passion Play may be seen in the tetnarkable representation which has been there given this year. In reference to its origin we have the following account: " In the year 16!Ma fearful pestilence broke out in the neighboring villages, so fearful indeed it was thought everybody would die. In Kohlgrub, distant three hours' journey from Ammer Gau, -so great were the ravages made by the disease that only two married couples were left in the village. Notwithstanding the strict measures taken by the people of Ammer Gau to prevent the plague being introduced into their village, their precautions proved insufficent, and the latal malady entering, spread with such fearful rapidfty that within a short space of time nearly ninety persons died. Then the villagers, in their sad trial assembled and solemnly vowed that, if God would take away the pestilence, they would perform the Passion Tragedy in thnnksgiving every tenth year. From that time on, although a number of persons were suffering, not one more died of the plague. In 1634 the play was first performed. The decadal period was chosen for 16S0, and the Passion Play has been enacted every tenth year with various interruptions since that time." Whether this was the real cause or not, it is still a fact that here in this little village for more than two centuries the Passion Play has been given—and its representation has become the principal event in the lives of these simple country people. Undoubtedly the " Passion Play " as now given surpasses anything known in earlier days, and yet though those taking part in it are trained with greater carefulness than formerly, and all the details are managed with an exactness and perfection, the result of modern skill and taste, still the foundation and frame-work is much the same as in that remote period of its origin. The improvements oflater times are largely due to the earnest enthusiasm of the now aged village priest, the " Geistlicher Rath," Daisenberger, who still lives as a patriarch amid his flock for whom he has cared so long and " 188 0 faithfully. He is a man of remarkable talent and earnest religious spirit, and he has devoted himself, he->rt and soul, to training and directing the villagers in performing the " Passion Piny " which they regard with solemn reverence. Ober-Ammer Gau is a village of only a few hundred inhabitants. They support themselves principally by wood-carving, which in their skillful hands, attains a remarkable artistic perfection. They pay also some attention to agriculture. It is almost impossible to convey to one who has never visited this little mountain village,—a satisfactory picture of the life of the people. It is something so unique, so peculiarly earnest and religious, so beautified by their devotion to this great object of their life, the " Passion Play " that one must really come here and and see the people themselves, to truly appreciate them. To take part in the Passion Play is considered the very greatest possible honor, and the humblest and least important positions among the actors are eagerly accepted. From generation to generation the accumulated traditions gathering about its history are passed on from parents to children. During the intervening years they ptppare for it. The long, lonely winters when the snow-driftsshut them out as it were from the outer world, it brightens and enlivens their quiet life. In the school and in the festival of the church they fit themselves to take part in it. And when the year rolls round, when the Passion Play is to be given, they feel that a solemn but at the same time joyful anniversary is to be observed. The last time the Passion Play was given was in the* year 1871, after the conclusion of the Franco-Prussian War. At that time it excited the wonder and admiration of visitors from all parts of Europe, and much was said and written in reference to it. And this year for months a constant succession of travellers have visited Ober-Ammer Gau to witness this most wonderful spectacle. The journey from Munich occupies one day, and with fine weather nothing could be more delightful. If not in tbe garb of a pilgrim of the olden time, yet in no careless spirit did I undertake the journey to the Passion Play. What I had read beforehand in reference to it had impressed me with the feeling that it was no mere holiday spectacle at which I was to be present. The subject is in itself the most sacred and solemn which could be chosen. So that from the first 1 felt a desire to view reverently this representation, which it had been with me a longing and hope of years to see. As a boy I had read of the little village among the mountains and its peasant-actors, whose simple life is governed and beautified by so unusual a purpose, and who then seemed so remote, so strange, so unreal to me. And now my long cherished hope was to be fulfilled. My way south from Munich was first by train through a country growing constantly more and more beautiful. It is a region rendered charming by the exquisite natural loveliness of the scenery, and by a host of legendary and historic associations, which give an added life to hill and dale. Soon after leaving Munich, the beautiful lake Sternberg appeared lying in the �THE FRIEND, midst of a fertile and verdant country, and with glorious views in the distance of misty blue mountains. The villas of the wealthy Bavarians border the gleaming waters of the lake, and it is here on shore and island that the young, talented but strangely eccentric King Ludwig 11. of Bavaria spends most of Ins time at the Schloss Berg, or that fanciful spot •' The Garden of Roses," or wherever his quaint, poetic fancy may lead him. Further on the train stops at Murnan, and here the mountain journey begins. From this point on you feel the welcoming charm of these beautiful Bavarian highlands, and you rejoice indeed that you have come. This is the terminus of the railway. With the iron-rails the noisy, bustling busy world and its hurrying every day life seems to end. For a time, at least we will forget it. Amidst the glory and grandeur of these mountains, under the canopy of these circling heavens, and surrounded by these simple children of the mountain and country, we may rest and gather inspiration. The air comes down to us sweet, cool and deliriously refreshing from the mountain summits, where far on into the Summer the white snows glisten. The great mountains rise on every hand—nearly seen they show richly wooded slopes, with here and there open spaces where smooth grassy fields, bright in the sunlight seem to offer welcome and plenty to the flocks which pasture here in Summer; in the distance they grow deeply blue, the mist veils their wild peaks, and their stern out-lines, thus softened,- seem to be strangely in harmony with the clouds which hover near them. It is a long, delightful drive which we have, we would not have it end. The mountains seem to open before us as if in welcome, parting like huge ocean waves. We look back and they have closed again and shut out from us the old life in giving us one new and fresh and untired. We are not the only travellers by this mountain road. From all pom's they come. The highway is alive with varied groups. Here are some in carriages—in all manner of vehicles —on foot—every one is desirous of reaching Ober-Ammer Gau before nightfall. You would be most of all drawn towards the little companies of peasants on foot. Some of them have come long and wearisome ways to lie present at the Passion Play. For them it is indeed a pilgrimage. The beauty of the country surpasses our expectation. For such mountains we were not prepared. There is the Etallu Manal, over .SOOO feet in height; then the Herzogenstand, 6000 feet, and above all the Zugspitze, 10,000 feet, far up in cloudland; and now comes Ettal, where once stood the famous Benedictine Monastery, founded by the German Emperor Ludwig. Still onward the beautiful valley of the Ammer opens before us, and we are near our journey's end. It is a scene of singular beauty. The noble valley stretches away in the waning light of the closing day. To right and left rise the guardian-like mountains. In the center of the fertile plain lies the little village, tbe mosque-like dome of whose church we can see from far away. The vesper bell rings out clear and sweet upon the evening air. On one of the peaks of the nearest range, may be seen a cross, rising far, far up towards heaven, and we recognize the Kofel, DECEMBER, the guardian spirit of the valley. Lower down, beautifully out-lined against a dark back ground of deepest green, stands a marble group representing the crucifixion, Presented to the community of Ober-Am"mer Gau by King Ludwig II of Bavaria in commemoration of His Majesty's visit to Ober-Ammer Gau, to witness the Passion Play in 1871, mid his appreciation of the earnest labors of ihe villagers in the performance of the vow made by their forefathers in the year 163*3." We find the winding village streets and paths crowded with people. Such a singular medley, such a Babel of languages, such a mingling of high and low, of rich and poor. We shall see them tomorrow once more together. Here fur a night or two one must lodge in right primitive fashion. The villagers will do their best to make you comfortable and willing, kindly people they are. But there are hundreds, aye, thousands of hungry and tired people to ho fed and housed, our hosts are busy enough, and tomorrow will be a hard antl trying day for many of them. On every side you are attracted by the most exquisite wood-carvings. In all the world nothing in this kind of work is more beautifully done There are one or two schools of design and carving here high up among the mountains. You come to see peasants, you find yourself among artists. They show their taste, their delicacy of feeling, their incomparable skill as carvers, in the tiiarvelously finished and wrought crucifixes, madonnas, flowers, p cture-frames and a host of different objects which are shown you here. We glance here and there, and the more we look the more we wonder at this strange little center with its motley varied life, where we find ourselves to-night. We are eager for the morrow; will it give us all we hope for and what we have come so far to see ? The day has gone—(he night has veiled the mountains, and the pines, which seem still to murmur softly in their sleep. The cross on the lofty Kofel and the stars keep watch and ward above, while before the hum and confusion have censed, the tired eyes have closed and the village rests in peace. Early the following morning, the village is once more a stir. A band of musicians passes through the streets. The people are gathering in dense crowds before the great building or theatre, where the representation of the day is to be given. I have come very early in order to be sure and get a seat. After coming all this way, at last to be shut out would be indeed a disappointment. At last the doors are opened, and we are admitted within the great inclosure. partly covered, partly opened with no dome but that of the heavens above. Hundreds of men and women are gathering, one heard a dv I, subdued murmur of voices like distant waves on the shore. In an amazingly short space of time all have found their places. It was worth making the journey just to see this assemblage. In the more expensive and secured seats are strangers from different lands, especially English and Americans. Near the center is the Royal Lodge where to-day sit a Bavarian prince and princess. I am glad that my ticket, taken at the last moment has given me a place among the I8 80 . 91 people. 1 am surrounded by the peasants and farming people, strong stalwart men and women they are too They greet me kindly, and in their hearty cordial way, give me the welcome of the mountains. What studies for an artist ! Peasants from the Tyrol, in their picturesque costumes; mountaineers und workmen from the lowlands; representatives from town and country and village, from all the region to north and south, east and west; cnpuchin monks with hood thrown back, blaclted-gowned priests; tourists in all manner of travelling costumes. Where would you find another so varied an audience ? I had difficulty to keep myself from believing it to be all a singular, fantastic dream. Before us rises the stage, arranged with great simplicity aud yet with admirable skill. In front a broad open proscenium for the choirs and the great processions,— behind this a covered space for table/tux virants; to the right the palace of Pilate; to the left the palace of Annas; on either sides the streets of Jerusalem. And bark of all this, most beautiful ot all, the green forests covering the grand old hills; streiching far away in the distance, verdant flower-dotted meadow lands; and above the blue of the Summer sky with drifting white clouds No brush of human artist could have produced such scenery for a background ! At this point I cannot do better than give in tbe simple yet earnest words of the village priest Daisenberger, the idea of this representation. " Our main objecct is to represent the story of Christ's Passion, not by a mere statement of facts, but in its connection with the types and figures and prophecies of the old Testament. By this manner of treatment an additional stfong light will be cast upon the sacred narrative, and the thoughtful spectator will be able to realize the grand truth that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, made man for our Salvation is the central figure of the inspired Volumes. As in the history of the Christian church the life of the Saviour and all his sacred actions arc continually repeated and reproduced, to the extent lhat (according to Scriptural commentators) He lives over again, suffers and triumphs in His saints as it happened before his appearance in the flesh, that the holy patriarchs and other saints of the Old Testament fore-shadowed His coming by the events of their history and by their virtuous lives. For He is the eternal Sun of the spiritual world, the Sun of justice sending forth his divine rays to illuminate in all directions both His predecessors and successors, no less than His contemporaries. Many of the incidents in the lives of the ancient fathers bear a striking and obvious resemblance to various parts in the life of the Redeemer, and set forth the sufferings and death arid resurrection so minutely that the Evangelists continually mention some prophecy which wos fulfilled. Thus the heroes of the Scriptures, Adam, the obedient Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Job, David, Micaiah, Jonas, Daniel, and so many others who labored and suffered in His Spirit, represent in part, though imperfectly, His Life, and through what they accomplished and suffered, they became the prophets of thst which is in Him, the Urbild, tbe primitive type, should take place. In this fundamental �92 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, thought is the representation of the Passion arranged and performed on the basis of the entire scriptures." For those who take part it is a solemn religious service. While the great throng has been gathering without, upon the stage curtained and hid from sight "assemble all the members of the community who are to take an active part in the performances, upwards of five hundred in number, together with their pastor and there engage in silent prayer, that is the unseen prelude to the Passion Play." Without the murmur and noise of voices have died away, and the most intense expectation is depicted on every countenance. First comes the plaintive music of the orchestra, and then from either side of the open sUge appear the divisions of the chorus advancing slowly and solemnly from right and left, till meeting in the center, they form one continuous line across the front of the stage The two divisions of the chorus, in which are both men and women , are led by two superbly handsome ai d stately men,one the most perfect type of Teutonic strength and manhood, with long flowing hair and beard, the other, the choragus proper, an equally noble specimen of manly vigor and power with dark hair and beard. All the members of the chorus are clad in robes, tunics and mantles ot various and harmonized colors of classic Grecian pattern. Before every scene of the. representation in full chorus, or solo, or duet, in song or recitative they announce the subject matter of the acted scene or tableau. They are, so to say the uttered voice of the " Passion Play." Never before was the office of the Greek chorus made so clear to me, as in seeing and hearing these peasant singers of the mountains The singing was far from being of a high order, and some of the peasant faces were anything but beautiful, but there was a plaintive earnestness and a devotion in their tones and gestures which was extremely impressive. And equally so was the slow measured and noiseless step with which they came before the audience. The choragus first explains the scope of the representation, the Fall and Reconciliation of �he sinner to God through the Redeemer of the world. Then the chorus slowly parting, the curtain is raised and the first tableau represents the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. From the very first moment you are amazed at the wonderful skill and taste displayed by the people. The tableaux are simple marvels of arrmgement, judged simply from an artistic standpoint, I hsve never seen snything to surpass ihem. And added to this there is an earnestness in the attitude of all the performers which shows that they are acting from deeper motives than any paid players could have. Now come scene after scene, tableaux and representations with spoken dialogue. All the main events in connection with the close of our Saviour's life are reproduced with always a proceeding suggestion or typical reminder of the Old Testament. The scene representing " Christ's entry into Jerusalem" which comes early in the mornings portion of the Passion Play, moves the audience profoundly. The immense stage is at first seen bare and empty. Soon the sound of rejoicing and shouting are heard, then slowly an immense throng begins to fill the streets, old men and women, youth and children, all in brilliant Eastern costumes. Palm branches wave in the air. Singing and melodies of welcome resound on every sid% And at last appears surrounded by this joyful company,a stately and imposing figure. You have feared, you have dreaded this moment. The very thought of anything of the kind has seemed to you like profanity. But the reverence, the tenderness, the devotion of these simple people, and the dignity and grace and sweetness of the one of their number who takes for the moment—as in a picture—this central fiijure,—sweep away, certainly for the time being, any such feeling. Of course the scenes are copied oftentimes closely from those famous paintings, which are the arttreasures of the world. the " Last Supper " brings immediately to mind the well-known painting by Leonardo dc Vinci. It would be impossible for me to endeavor to give even a hasty outline of the Passion Play, it continues from eight in the morning with an intermission of an hour at noon until five in the afternoon. The sun shines with summer heat or the rain falls in torrents, but still the stately march of the Passion Play goes forward. The morning sunlight passes into the fullness of high noon, and then begins to center towards the west before the end comes. We are led step by step through those last days of patient suffering, and trial through which our Saviour was called to pass, up to the final scene. This is given with the most realistic exactness. This is too painful, too overpowering, certainly for us with our protestant training. But even here the spirit of reverence shown at the beginning was in a peculiar degree manifested. We rise from our seats and wend our way homeward strangely moved. The grand story, this mighty history of that one matchless and wondrous life and death has been portrayed with wonderful vividness. I would never wish again to see the Passion Play as given in Ober-Ammer Gau, nor would I have gone probably to see it else where than in this little mountain village, where for centuries it has been represented with an undoubted religious fervor and earnestness, but once to have witnessed it and there, I count among the very greatest privileges of my life. 1 feel that the few words which I am permitted to send, written in the midst of many and pressing duties which claim my attention, can give scarcely anything approaching a connected idea of the Passion Play* But they may, poor and hasty as they are, lend some to read more in reference to this most unique celebration. There has been much written and well in reference to it. That it has done much, very much good—l have no shadow of doubt. That there are those to whom on the other hand all such representations are painful and displeasing I am aware and would for their opinion feel great and sincere respect. That which may move and stir one to more earnest thought, may be a source of difficulty to another oftentimes. Here at least I may be permitted to give the words of one who found in this representation reason rather for sincere thankfulness than an occasion for criticism. 1880. " Who has taught these simple minds this tenderness of feeling which is so evident in all their roles! This harmony, which does not detract from the glorious picture of the Redeemer as we believe on Him, but enables us to find In that maltreated innocence, in that reviled Holiness, the ideal so deeply impressed on our hearts? It is that pure enthusiasm of believing minds, love of God and of eternal truth that has inspired the villagers in their labors. Having once witnessed the Passion Play, we no longer look upon it as an interesting relic of the distant past out of keeping with the times, lingering on a threatened existence, but as upon the most marvelous and elevated dramatic exhibition of our epoch, and the perfection of the religious drama. Indeed, one can almost believe in witnessing the Play that he sees Christ descended to earth once more, preaching amid the sunny hills and valleys of Judea, living over the sad yet glorious events of His life among the men who misunderstood, persecuted and brutally pushed out of existence, —that life in whose sacrifice is hid the mystery of redemption and reconciliation." There is for us all who believe on Him, who is the Saviour of the world, (and who is there who can be so strangely unmoved by the glory and beauty of His Life nnd Death as to refuse the tribute of sincere and loving belief?) the joy and comfort of the thought that He still lives to comtort and to bless. As truly to-day He is near to us—as to those who felt the grace and blessing of His personal presence. It is not the story of a dead hero which is told through the centuries of missionary effort in the service of cathedrals, and from the pulpits girdling now the world, sculptured in marble, and sung in hymns or embalmed in the treasured and sacred writings of great and holy men, but that of a still living and sympathizing correct comprehension, this Friend and Saviour. * "Jesus I WbstonceThon wsst, Forever more Thou srt: Each moment of tbe ss.-.red psst Lives in the sscred Besrt. *.

" Th* Lord is my strengh, and my song snd la become my salvation." , We improve the earliest opportunity afforded us for paying a passing tribute to the late wife of our friend Judge Allen, with whom we have walked life's pathway for a full generation. We can distinctly recall her advent in our island community, her presence in the House of God, and her genial and sympathetic presence in the social life of our Honolulu Society. A gentle Christian spirit added its charm to a mind peculiarly refined by both nature and education. As wife, mother and friend, she adorned the circle in which she was called to move, and it is peculiarly pleasant to recall her memory and think of her as now numbered among the Redeemed in that Better Land. Her, Christian example, we trust may beckon others forward to leave an equally pure and bright example of Christian gentleness and patience.

The sojourn of two or three days in each of the following cities—Dresden, Prague, Vienna, Saltzburg—enabled us, by the aid of Baedeker's "Guide Book" and other sources of information, to obtain something more than a mere tourist's knowledge of those cities, snd the countries of Which they are important centres. The months of July and August were most favorable for beholding these countries when the rich and golden harvest-fields were swarming with laborers, gathering in their abundant crops. At least one-third of all the laborers in Saxony, Bohemia, Austria,and Bavaria were females. Many of them were engaged in labors the most onerous and fatiguing. We saw many females mowing and pitching hay upon the carts, as well as engaged in the lighter parts of harvesting. Perhaps we might have been somewhat reconciled to this outdoor female labor on the ground of necessity during tbe busy season of summer-harvesting if we had not met, in country and city, hundreds and thousands of stalwart soldiers marching and counter-marching, and parading in their bright uniforms, or mounted, many of them on their fiery cavalry horses. We could not but infer that in these times of peace at least two millions out of the four millions of the standing armies of Europe shuuld be in the fields helping snd aiding their weary and toil-worn mothers, wives, and sisters in the downright hard work of the farm. No matter who suffers, the policy of the great monarchical Governments of Europe absolutely demands that the standing armies must be kept in the very highest degree of efficiency, all "armed to the teeth," and ready for action. The warelement attracts the tourist's attention in all the circles of European society and government which seems to be deplored on account of its enormous cost, but which is deemed as essentially necessary, while mankind and nations remain what they are. On psssing through Bavaria, we were glad of the opportunity ofa spending a week in Munich.

We fancy some of our readers would THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM DIRECTORY �94 THE KRIEND, DECEMBER, be pleased to learn sojnething more about Kumlord, alias Benjamin Thompson. He was born in Woburn, Massachusetts, in 1763. In the early stages of the revolutionary struggle he was-a strong patriot, but subsequently changed his politics and became an officer of the British Army, with the rank of a Major. On the surrender of Boston he took the news to England. Subsequently hfe returned to America, but being restless returned to Europe and became a Minister of the Bavarian Court. Under his direction and suggestion many improvements were made in and about Munich. Among them the old fortifications of the city were removed, and what is now styled the English Garden, was laid out and improved. He removed the cemetries outside of the city and established a Central Cemetery, which is now much visited and admired. His improvements extended to clothing and feeding the army, improvintr the condition of the poor, suggesting improvements in cooking and actually established houses for feeding the poor, some of which, with modifications still exist. In scientific matters he was a second Benjamin Franklin. So much esteemed was his memory by a late King of Bavaria, that a public monument and siatue have been erected in the city, the one in the English Garden and the other in front of the National Museum. It is not a little remarkable amid so many monuments and statues in honor of Kings, Artists and Dignitaiies of the Church, to meet with this monument and statue to a son of New England. In consequense of political revolutions dur. ing the wars of Napoleon when Bavaria suffered so fearfully, Count Rumford left tbe Kingdom and returned to England, where hs became Vice-President of the Royal Society of England, and assisted in its establishment. He published various works on the qualities of heat, copies of which were pointed out to us in the Royal Library of Munich. He subsequently retired to his estate, in the neighborhood of Anteuil, in France, where he died in 1814- We would merely add that his title as Count was conferred by tne King of Bavaria, but instead of attaching to his name some European city or estate, he chose the term Kumford, which belongs to a small villiage or country place in New Hampshire, where, we believe, he taught school in his youth. If we mistake not, by his will, he endowed a Professorship at Harvard University. There is much in the life of Benjamin Thomson, both interesting and instructive. The week we spent in Munich was fully Occupied, and if space allowed we should gladly comment upon much we there met with lo admire and study, and leaving that region we entered the Republic of Switzerland, passing through Lindau, crossing Lake Constance, we visited a city of that name where Huss, the Martyr, was burnt in 1415. Hurrying forward to Basle we visited the celebrated Mission School, from whence Foreign Missionaries go to India, Africa and China. Among the photographes of missionaries who have there graduated, as we saw them in their Museum, we were pleased to notice that of the Rev. R. Lechler, now •'laboring so successfully in Hongkong, Chi- *unt Sandwich Islands during the last few years. Oilier missionaries have gone to Africa and India, whose record is most praiseworthy. From Basle we visited Zurich, Mt. Rigi, Lucerne, Berne, Lausanne and Geneva. The few days spent amid the beautiful lakes and grand mountains of Switzerland, form a bright and charming picture on the tablet of our memory, which we trust will never be effaced. The weather was such as to facilitate the rambles of tourists and we do not wonder that thousands and tens of thou- sands of health seekers and pltasure-lovers forsake their homes amid the crowded cities of England and Germany, accompanied by not a few from over the Atlantic to spend a few weeks amid the valleys and mountains of Switzerland. At one noted place of resort. Interlaken, we learned that at least 40,--000 would this season visit that place alone. It is from this place of beautiful resort among the lakes and mountains that a ride of a couple of hours will bring the tourist to a veritable Alpine Glacier. It wns our privilege to visit this spot, high up amoug the Alps, where bright, fields are in in close proximity to an immense glacier, which for ages has been slowly making its way to the valley below. The tourist could stand and almost touch the mountain of ice with one hand and pick flowers with the other. A grotto has been actually cut into the solid ice, which m»y be entered, and the dense mass appears as clear as crystal But we must hasten on our journey and leavine the delightful scenes, high up among the Alps, where Swiss peasants dwell in all the simplicity whereof we read in books of travels, and take a sail on the lake, about which Byron once wrote — L»kf Lemitn woos me with its crystal fsce." But we do not believe the poet had ever '■ seen the lake under more favorable circumstances than it was our privilege to view it on Saturday, August 14th. We spent the previous night at Lausaune. a city rich in its historical associations, and fully freighted with stirring incidents in eccesiasticnl history. There it was that Calvin and Farel took their stand for the doctrines of the Reformation, as Luther had previously done in Germany, only they made no half way work of breaking away trom the Romish Church. At Lausanne noblemen in subsequent years have lived and nobly contented for the reformed doctrines. But we were saying that Lake Leman was wooing us, and after viewing " Chillon," so touchingly described by Byron in his " Prisoner of Chillon," we embarked upon " its crystal waters," and for several hours skirted its hilly shores, vine-clad to their summits, and dotted with beautiful villages-from the centre of each rose a church spire. The smooth and glassy waters of the lake, mirrored on the right the Jura mountains with their " misty shroud," and on the left '• the joyous Alps." We passed Vevey, stepping ashore to visit some American friends, and re-embarking, we passed Lausanne, Coppet, and other villages once the residences ofthose renowned in history— Gibbon, Byron, Madame dc Stael, Rousseau, Voltaire, Calvin, D'Aubigne, and many others whose fame has rendered the shores of Lake Leman, renowned in historic na, and from under whose able teaching so annals. A Sabbath in Geneva we had been looking many Christian Chinese have come to the 1880. forward to with interest. The evening shatlows had (alien upon the city ere our little steamer entered the harbor, but we soon were snugly lodged in one of the numerous hotels looking out upon the lake. It is liternlly a city of hotels, for great is the number of summer excursionists visiting this part of the world. We found ourselves obeying the call of the great bell of the Cathedral on Sabbath morning, for we were anxious to worship in the edifice where Calvin preached and lectured, and otherwise carried forward the almost crushing and Herculian burden of the Reformation. The Cathedral pulpit is now occupied by the Protestant ministers of the Established Church. The edifice has been handsomely restored during later ye. rs—of course no pictures or crucifixes are to be seen within its walls, as in all Catholic churches. The services were conducted after the usual form of Congregational or Presbyterian order. We regret we could not understand the sermon in French, but were told that it was orthodox that morning, although some in the Cathedral-pulpit are very rationalistic in their utterances. After leaving the Cathedral, we found our way to the American chapel, supplied by the Rev. Dr. Stevens, of the MethodistEpiscopal Church, whose history of Methodism is so well known. His pulpit was occupied on this occasion by a young American Baptist minister, now studying in Europe, but pastor of the American chapel in Dresden. We do not hesitate to remark that on this occasion the young man (the Rev. J. F. Genug), preached a most eloquent and admirable discourse, taking for his text .the words of the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Galations : " Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." We only wish it was in our power to reproduce that sermon in the pages of The Friend. It was really one of the most logical expositions of the nature of the Law of God, and especially the Mosaic Law, that we ever listened to, showing most clearly the nature of law as man's rule of obedience in the early stages of man's existence ; but hew, in Christ, law met with its highest and noblest development. We learned that the young man was studying to fill some professorship in the United States, and most confidently can we congratulate any seminary which mny secure his services. It was exceedingly gratifying in this old city of Geneva, so intimately associated with Calvin's teaching, to hear a pure gospel so ably set forth and defended by a young theologian from our native land. It is common, in some quarters, to utter remarks depreciating the doctrines of the Bible as explained by Calvin, but let no one imagine that C'alvanism in a modified form has died out of the Church of Christ. Some may criticise the rhetoric, but still there is a grand fundamental truth underlying the following utterance of the Rev. Joseph Cook, the celebrated lecturer of Boston : " Plymouth Rock is a piece of granite broken off the Alps at Geneva. When were they thrown up? There was an hour on Calvary when the sun muffled his face at noon, and the rocks were rent, and then were thrown up the Alps, off which Plymouth Rock was broken."

College,—In our last issue we noticed the donation of seats to the institution. We rejoice to learn that improvements, costing about one thousand dollars, have been made, enlarging the verandah, above and below, of the main school building, towards the mountains. This improvement will greatly enlarge the main audience room above, and the recitation room below. Improvements of this nature are the more to be appreciated, when made without drawing upon the funds of the college, and by those who have graduated at the institution. We hope to have the pleasure of reporting additional contributions of this nature. Let those who have once been taught there, aim to make the institution more desirable and inviting for their children. This is doing good in Ihe right way. We are glad to report a larger number of pupils than was ■ever previously in attendance. Tbe late examination was highly creditable. The class in Geology appeared remarkably well.

It invests every tree; it Cathedral is a chest, in whichTetzel carried irten . 1881 his indulgcncies, against which Martin Luther did such valiant conflict. It was a relief, after the unending flatness of the country, to find ourselves on ascending ground. On the horizon, in the evening light, the Hartz Mountains began to outline themselves, and send welcomes to us through the mists which enveloped them. At a little country station we took supper with some American students, going for a holiday trip in the mountains But their journey was to be more extensive than ours, so, after a pleasant talk of Amherst, Cornell, Hamilton and California Universities, we were forced to say good-bye, adding, thereto, however, a hearty auf weidirsclu.u. Our train hastened on, and soon we were quietly sleeping in the little mountain town of Hartzburgh, and with the early morning light we were ready for our first day's walk I am constantly surprised to see what feats of walking are accomplished here, and it is amusing and stimulating to see the rivalry there is in reference to making a good day's walk in this region. For several days we were on foot, up and down mountains, through vallies, and over rivers, and all along the way, we were met by companies, similarly equipped as ourselves, an umbrella or cane, or mountain-stock in hand, a bag or sitchel swung over one shoulder, a plaid or overcoat for protection against the rain, and nothing more. Fine mountain roads led in all directions, and, branching from these, were by-pa.hs, well indicated as a general thing, by guide-boards, or some other sign, and when these were lacking, there was almost always some friendly peasant ever at hand to guide us. I find that my "Journal and Sketch Book " is in rather a confused state, and, in endeavoring to give you a little idea of my Ilartz-Reise, or journey, perhaps it will be best to send a little outline sketch, as my memory serves me. HARTZBURGH Gives one a little idea of many other similar towns and villages which abound in the country regions of Germany, and where the wealthy and well-to-do people of the cities come for summer rest and recreation. It abounds in hotels, beautifully situated, and well kept, is laid out with shade trees, ornamented with private villas and gardens, and rejoices in springs of healing waters, and is accordingly a•■ bath." Just over the town which lies in the valley rises a hill, the Borgberg, with a commanding view, up whose side we first tested our " walking legs." Beautiful as the country is here in all directions, and inviting as it is of itself, it becomes immensely more so by reason of all the associations which meet one at every point. For instance, sitting here on the Borgberg, in the golden radiance and warmth of a summer morning, with choirs of birds in the trees and a panorama of mountain and plain before us, we find many other things to claim our attention. We sit on the smooth granite steps of the pedestal of a simple but impressive monument erected to the honor of the German Chancellor, Bismarck, on which are graven the significant words: " Nach Caiiossa gelun. \cei nicht /" We do not go to Canossa, words, to which this valiant leader has never proved false. Here still linger a tew fragments of a castle of the German Emperor, Henry IV., �and here died later another Emperor, Otto IV. Amid the eroves at the base of the hill are reminders of the early days of German heathen worship. Just above this little cluster of trees where we £top for refreshment, some one has placed a stone with an inscription to say that one day the German poet V/tland visited this spot. Undoubtedly a simple, very simple incident, but the stone is interesting; as a reminder of some one's thoughtful appreciation of the poet, and as it calls to mind, in the midst of these poetic. scenes, the wild, sweet poetry of this German writer. 1 was fortunate in my companions, both of whom were young with all the fun of boyhood in them still, yet tempered by the promise of the noble young manhood upon which they are both just entering. You could scarcely find greater contrast, one was the very incarnation of method and order, and curie around with a thermometerfor the heat, md a "pedometer" to measure the distance we had gone per day, and who could tell us as we halted for the night how many kilometres we had walked since morning The other would make the longest days seem short, so blessed was he with a memory for amusing stories, and fairly rippled over wiih jokes in French and German English. So as I have snid, I was most fortunate in my companions, and owe to them, as well as to the sunlight and mountains and skies, the pleasant memories I have brought back with me. IN THE FOREST. As the day wore on we caught glimpses of the " Brocken," the highest point in the Hartz, looming before us. the goal which we hoped to reach before sun-down, but from which we were separated by a vast ocean of wood-land. Alter one has lived in the closely inhabited towns and cities of Europe, nothing is more striking in coining out info the country than to see what extensive tracts of land lie uninhabited. The disproportion seems too great! Your heart goes yearning after all the men nnd women and children, with faces too white and old, crowded in various uncleanly city streets, and amid their unhealthy fumes, and you wish you might scatter amid this glorious green, outer world, all those who hunger for such sweetness and freedom and plenty as are here given in limitless measure How difficult it is to describe a forest! You feel almost like one at sea, with an ocean before and an ocean behind. You mount some sentinel rock and look out over the closely grouped tops of the pines and wonder how your way will lie, and then driving down into the cool green depths below, where the sun-light shines softly at noon time, or lies along your course, interlaced with the shadows, lose all sense of things without and forget that you belong elsewhere than in this solemn, mysterious under-world, till again you scale some height into the day-light, and look back in vain for the way you have gone and over which the waves have so swiftly closed. Ido not remember, in all my journeyings in cur tropical forests, with their glorious tangles of vines and ferns, their wild and wayward luxuriance of riotous growth and beauty, to have been so impressed as 1 have been of late by these forests in the Hartz, with their simple, severe monotony of form and uniformity of coloring, and yet which possess 1881. such an indescribably solemn dignity, such calm confidence in the infinite force of their united serried strength, rising fearlessly towards the blue dome above ti.em. And then whnt stores of perfume and fragrance dwell in these sentinel-like pines and firs! Never in nature could be found such suggestionsof cathedral service as in these shadowy aisles, with the aroma of incense from unseen censers, and the music ol distant chanting of choirs, ns the winds speak in their boughs We traveled little on the main road, but always by by-paths, which led us away from men into the heart of the wood-lands, so that 1 do not remember passing a village during the first day's rambles. As the afternoon wore on, the trees about us seemed to diminish in size, and the soft, yielding velvety carpet under our" feet, gave way to strong, barren soil, and the climbing was far from easy, and we often paused for a view at the country whose horizon seemed to broaden and widen as we rose higher. Groups ol travelers on their way down from the mountain and others came fast up behind us. Still higher stunted trees give place to shrubs, and these to hardy grasses and wild mountain flowers, and in a few moments more we stand on the SUMMIT OF THE BROCKEN. Certainly there is no one point in Germany, perhaps none in Europe, about which so much uncanny legendary lore clusters as about the mountain on whose summit we have just arrived. The place seems singularly in keeping with its legends, wild, barren, wind-swept, standing above, amidst drifting mists and clouds, far away from the sweet happy life of the villages nestling at its feet, a fitting place for the wild orgies which the witches and spirits of darkness were fubled to celebrate here on Walpurgis niidu. Long ago, into this region, came the wild and heathen Saxons, and celebrated mid the lonely fastnesses of the Hnnz and Brocuen their pagan rites. Charlemagne, who believed in enforcing Christianity by the sword, and who was bent on the conversion of the Saxons and the abolition of their paganism, endeavored to compel them to desist from the practice of their religion. He stationed guards to prevent them, but in vain. The unruly savages " arrayed themselves like goblins, with the skins and horns of beasts, with fire forks in their hands, and these rude instruments which they used as protection against wild beasts, and during their sacrificial rites as they danced around the altar. Thus armed, they put the wholi of the terrified guards to flight, and proceed ed to invite the people to-their festival. Hence its celebration on the first of May, on the wildest region of the Hartz, with the snow yet lying on the Brocken, naturally gave rise among the Christians to the belief ol witches riding that night upon their broomsticks to add to the infernal mirth and mystery of these heathen rites." The most wild and dreadful tales in reference lo these satanic revels were told and believed generation alter generation, till this lonely peak of the Brocken or Brocksberg was regarded as peculiarly 'possessed by evil spirits. I have lately read, though I scarcely believe it, that Walpurgis week neither man or " during boy can be found bold enough to act as guide over the mountains." Goelhe has laid one 3 THE FRIKND, JANUARY, of the scenes of his strange poem of Fatut here, which renders ihe spot especially interesting to all admirers of his mystical, shadowy tragedy. Certain heaps of rocks are styled the Witches' Dancing Place, Wash-basil,, Devils' Chancel, etc. But all the uncanny character of the summit immediately is dissipated by the spirit of genial hospitality which seems to shine from every point of the hospitable old hotel which was waiting like some kindly friend to welcome us. After the long day's tramping and climbing, and the roir and sweep of the wind, how deliplitful was the warmth and cheer and comfort which reigned within ! I shall always remember the strong, awkward looking old hotel, wiih its cheery red brick floor, shining and bright, its warm, cozy dining hall, its delightful beds, and wholesome air of sweetness and good cheer. I hope that all travelers coming to this ghost and witch-ridden mo intain will find it ns full of good cheer as did we. Having strengthened ourselves within, we were ready to come forth to meet all the phantoms of the place. But the wind must, have blown them all away. And such a wind, fresh blown from the home of all the winds ! How it reveled in this upper world, clear, cold, crystalline, making the blood dance with irresistible joy The late sunlight lingered as if loath to go. From the tall tower rising in front of the hotel we could sweep at one glance over a wonderful tract of country. Few views in Europe are more interesting historically. It is looking into the very heart of Germany, upturned io the sky. On every side of us were to be seen the red roofs of towns and villages, some clear and manifest, others faint and distant and others lying far, far away on the misty horizon. One could easily fancy himself sailing through space in a balloon with the country spread out like a map beneath him. On a clear day it is said that one can see from this point eightyiiim cities and six hundred and tixtyeight villages, partly or entirely—something of a range, is it not ? At certain seasons of the year, when the atmosphere is in a peculiar condition, there is seen a phenomena called " The Spectre of the Brocken," being the shadow enlarged io a gigantic size of any one standing in a certain position on the mountain and cast on distant clouds or mist. Unfortunately the time of our visit did not permit us to see this spectral presence The sun set quietly behind the clouds, leaving us in the midst of the long, grey, summer twilight Later on, came pale moonlight through the clouds, and the wind died slowly away, nnd night settled over the great world at our feet, and we left the witches to their dance without, while we found our warm beds within more agreeable. Have we really been at-asleep-at-all ? Yes, here it is three o'clock ! A bell is sounding through th» long corridors, nnd every room is emptied, and before the hotel in the early morning air, in all manner of hastily donned costumes, like fire-worshipers stand a hundred or so of us, with eyes and face eagerly turned toward the east, waiting for the sunrise. It was a most picturesque scene ! People of all ranks of life, in all styles of dress, all for the moment intent upon one of the most inspiring sights in nature. Musi- ' �4 Tlt t r KIRNS, lIMUI students and workmen end tourists. The east was suffused with crimson. lay over the lowlands. The mists The light grew stronger and stronger, ihe barrier of cloud before the sun glowing from within with the imprisoned flame, ujjtil at last bursting its misty bands, the round full orb rose into sight, and the morning's pagear was over. White wreaths of clouds floated up between us and the earth, but the wind spirited them away, so that when we came to say goodbye to the brave old inn, (which stands winter and summer, amid driving wind and snow and rain, and must, if ever they come, have watched the goblins at their work, and yet, which through all, wears a cheery smile on its battered face) the world was bathed in sunshine, unobscured by clouds. The Brocken summit is chary of its growths, but the kindly touch of nature has reached even here, and given something of a softness and charm, just as in the most forbidding face thera may be something to love if ever we are only ourselves wise and kind enough to find it. I brought away with me a handful of a delicate white blossom, bell shaped, with an exquisite shading of blue on the base of the petals. In among the rocks the wild heather grows in profusion. Our coining down from the mountain was ac- complished in singularly shorter m «ce of time than the ascent ol the same, snd soon we were once more in the embrace of the fon-t, nnd near the murmur ot its trout streams and every mile of brisk walking in the delicious morning air lirouglit us nearer one of the red-roofed villages, tpon which we had looked down the night before. We pasted a group of charcoal burners silting lear their wigwam like house and smouldering leap, like spirits of the woods and mountains, low the sight of them brought the memory of airy stories read long, long ago. which emanated from just suoh surroundings. How easy it seemed amid these glowing woods to picture dwarfs and gnomes snd lairies, and all that long company of npirita, good and evil, which crowd the German tales and legends! A little further on we stopped for a little refreshment by a lovely ■pot on the river, which dashes in white foam between its verdant hanks into the gorge below. We saw we were beginning to leave the wild woods and were coming once mure to civilised lile. Here soldiers, fresh and bright in their shinning utulorms. well-to-do looking towns people, (jurumn ('millions arrayed in their best, and kindly mamas and solid looking business men, all enjoying the fresh, sweet air and tbe music uf the river. One more night is left us in the Harts, which we spend in the great hotel near tbe village of Tnule, one more morning in the valley under its Irees and by the banks of the Bode, with sketch book and Heine in hand, and we must start lor home, carrying with us the sweet, beautiful memories of days which I think 1 can never forget. But which shall be in coming lile a constant source of joy nnd refreshment. I leel us if I was leaving everything unsaid, all the legends whioh wait to be uttered, all the beauty which wans to be painted. But.-perhaps, another day we may come again to thin poo tic region, of which indeed we have seen a small purtiou. We piss through old and historic towns which lie along our route.

Maid, U I) —New York, Dodd. Mead 716 Broadway-1880. * About forty and five years ago, when we were studying as an undergraduate at Amherst College, there came to our college, a Mr. Arms, who had just returned from an exploring expedition to Patagonia. This gentleman represented that he was accompanied by a Mr. Coan. We can vividly recall many statements then made by Mr. Arms. A few months elapsed, and we remember to have read in the newspapers, that one of the explorers in the wild regions of Patagonia, had sailed as a missionary to the Sandwich Islands. It was the old Latin poet, Horace, we believe, who counselled young authors to allow their thoughts to lie in manuscript at least nine years, but our missionary author has allowed his journal to remain five times that period in manuscript before publication, but .we are glad to learn that he did not think best to commit his manuscript to his literary executors. The volume now lying on our table, reflects much credit upon the Rev. Mr. Coan, as an explorer and writer. Patagonia is a part of tbe world that one is glad to learn something about, although he might not be pleased to become a Summer tourist among its inhabitants, whom the old voyagers reputed as tall as the soldiers of the father of Frederick the Great. We are pleased to read, in the closing pages of the volume, a notice of Captain Gardner's missionary enterprise, in that forlorn region of Terra del Fuego, and where his sad death forms one of the most touchingrecords ofheroic adventure in the annals of the missionary enterprises of modern times. There is much in this volume worthy of perusal, and with the Rev. Dr. Field, of the New York Evangelist, we can commend the same to the reading of those who delight in bold adventure, plucky daring, cool judgment, honest purpose, and missionary zeal. Valuable Publications.—We would acknowledg, through the kind ness of Dr. Baker, of the English Mission a packnge of valuable publications from our old friend and college classmate, N. Allen, M.D, L.L.D., of Lowell, Mass. Some of these are from his own pen, and others relate to the State Charities of Massachusetts, being the Annual Reports. In no part of America is more attention paid to collating and gathering statistics relating to crime, insanity, sanitary measures, ice., than in the State of Massachusetts. Dr. Allen has devoted much time and attention to affairs of this nature. He is now quoted as authority. His efforts in leading the Trustees of Amherst College to introduce systematic exercise among the students have resulted in immense good. They have reduced the death-rate and elevated the health lone among the under-graduates. It was our privilege to be the Doctor's guest at the late meeting of the American Board, and to learn from his own lips much relating to the progress of medical science and sanitary efforts in America. Life is too short for one person to learn everything, but it is some satisfaction to know that specialists are laboring in all departments of science and learning. It is gratifying to read the results of their studies and researches. Pomare no More!—The last remnant of native rule at Tahiti gone forever. The newspapers report that all Tahitwns are now French citizens. The descendants of Potnare no longer rule at Tahiti, or any of the Society Islands. It is a singular and curious fact that Monarchical Europeans in Polynesia have invariably undermined the native rulers, as at Tahiti, Marquesas, New Zealand, Fiji, and it is to be feared will soon succeed at Samoa and Tonga. Whereas it is a fact equally manifest and incontrovertable, that on the Hawaiian Islands Kepublican or Democratic Americans have for more than half a century persistently and successfully upheld the kingly authority of the Kamehamehas and their successors. Mr. Wyllie's idea, which he labored for a quarter of a century to establish an Independent Hawaiian Kingdom, unhampered by Consular Courts or a Protectorate, would never have been realized had he not been most staunch ly sustained and supported by associates and Americans, loyal and ests of the Hawaiian the best inter King and people. true to Charles Burnham, Esq.—We are happy to welcome this gentleman, who resides, as a merchant, in Philadelphia. He originally visited the Islands in 1833, and superintended the building of the Bethel, having been sent hither for that purpose, by the late Major Williams, of New London. He subsequently erected the buildings of the Lahainaluna Seminary. After visiting the United States and returning to the Islands, he became manager of Koloa plantation. He left again for the United States, and, after an absence of just 35 years, he now returns with his daughter, to visit his old home. He was accompanied by Mrs. Burnham, when he left his home, and they were our fellow-travellers on the Overland Railroad, but in consequence of a severe cold taken at Ogden, she died at the Grand Hotel in San Francisco, Nov. 19th, esteemed, respected and beloved, by the wide circle of friends among whom she was known. Her remains were returned to Springfield, Mass. We bespeak for our friend a cordial welcome among his old acquaintance on the Islands. �THE FRIEND, JANUARY. 1881. Our Postal System Most Inconvenient.

During our absence a letter was received from his son, dated Tokio. Japan, March 26th, ISSO. We think many of our readers will be interested in reading this letter, as it is an indication of what the young Japanese are doing, in the way ol acquiring the English language, and aspiring to acquire a professional education.

[Coltriigt. : — A Ship's Crew that Turn Out Well. We were most agreenbly surprised a few days since to meet a shipmaster, whom we had not seen for twenty and eight years. The youth had become the man ; the sailor the shipmaster. We refer to Captain Berry, of the Mohigan. In our'interview we learned the following interesting items:—ln the Autumn of 1852 Captain Berry belonged to the crew of the •' Messenger Bird," Captain Ooane, which was loaded with oil, for the United States. Captain Dome and all his crew of 13, even to the Negro cook, were from Cape Cod, and we think, all from Yarmouth. Only three of the crew have died, and two of them were shipmasters; lost at sea, and never heard from. Th«_- remainder are now shipmasters, or have retired, after successful careers, with ample means. One of them is the proprietor of a large orange orchard in Florida. By referring to the " Friend," of October 19.h, 1852. we find the following names of persons attached to the '• Messenger Bird:" —Captain Doane, John Rinnell, Hiram F. Sparrows, Benjamin F. Berry, N. F. Baker, J. D. Lathrop, P. B. Chase, R. B. Nickerson and A. D.mne. On further examination we find that this crew contributed $9:75 for the benefit of the Bethel, Captain Doane heading the subscription with S5. Such reminisences are very pleasant, recalling those years when, with youthful vigor aud hopeful enthusiasm, we mingled with masters, officers and seamen of the immense fleet of whalemen and merchant seamen who were wont to congregnte in the port of Honolulu. In a note attached to our Thanksgiving sermon of 1552, as printed in the •' Friknd" of Decemb-r 11th, we find the following statement:—" As an apology for the strong American tone which pervades the sermon, we would call the attention of our readers to the following circumstances —On Thanksgiving day, the editor, E. O. Hall, Esq , of the Polynesian, asserts there were 145 whaleships in this harbor. In addition, there were 12 merchant vessels, and the U. S. Frigate St. Lawrence. With only an occasional exception, these vessels are all under the U. S. flag. The number : of seamen on board these vessels would not full below 6,000. The amount of property invested in this large amount of shipping would doubtless amount to 815,000,000." While calling on board the beautiful ship so neatly kept.and while sitting Mohigan," " cabin, the our attention was arrested by in Captain Berry's tnste for beautiful flowering plants, carefully guarded, and the more so, when he remarked " This Ivy my wife gathered at Chester Cathedral; this Geranium is from the tomb of Napoleon, at St. Helena; this Ivy is from Hyde Park, London; this vinca from Java; this orange plant from Singapore, and this Wax plant from Cape Cod, and has been in the ship during the last five years, or ever since she first was launched." We did not wonder that the master of the "Mohigan" should be attached to his ship, or that his soul warmed up when he relerrvd to one who had accompanied him in many of his voyages, but for once remained behind in old Yarmouth. It was pleasant, also, to hear our friend refer to his good mother, now S2, who still followed him, with her affection and prayers, as when he first went forth a sailor boy, from that Cape Cod, where the Mayflower first anchored, before the Pilgrims finally anchored in Plymouth Harbor, and landed on Plymouth Rock. We are glad to learn that noble men and women still inhabit regions associated with so many precious historic memories. In Memoriam—Rev. Cochran Forbes. By the " Australia " news was received of the decease of this brother, at his place of residence in Philadelphia, Pa. He died on the sth of November, after a brief but severe illness of four days, in the seventy-fifth year of his at;e. His arrival here to spend his remaining years in the family of his eldest son, Rev. A. O. Forbes, had been anticipated by the same steamer which brought the tidings of his death; and many old friends at the islands, both native and foreign, were waiting to welcome him back to the much-loved scene of his former labors. He himself had looked forward most eagerly to a return to these shores, and to the re-union with beloved friends His love for Hawaii nei and the Hawaiian people had never diminished, but seemed to grow stronger than ever with the increase of years. He was born in Goshen, Chester County, Pa., July 21st, 1805, and received his education at Reading, Pa in the Academy then under the care of Rev. J. F. Gner, D.D. In 1828 he entered the Theological Seminary at Princeton, New Jersey, and graduated in 1831, together with tbe late lamented Rev. . Richard Armstrong. D.D., and the now venerable and beloved Rev-W. P. .Alexander, of Wailuku, who is the only survivor of that trio Mr Forbes was licensed by ihe Presbytery (if Philadelphia, and at his graduation, or.lamed in the First Presbyterian Church of Baltimore, Md.; shortly after which he, with his newly married bride, saiied with a large company of missionaries for these islands, under commission of die A. B. C. F. M. New Bedford on the ship whaler bound hither Nov. 26, IS3I, after a tedious and uncomfortable voyage of more than five months they landed here May 17th, 1632, and Mr. Forbes was stationed at Kaawaloa, Hawaii, where he remained until 1845; when, on account of the prostration of his wife from ill health, he removed to Lahnina. There he remained till the full of 1647, filling the post of Seamen's Chaplain, nt a time when from one hundred to two hundred whuleships visited that port annually. Mrs. Forbe's health not improving, by the advice of the physicians, they returned to the United States, leaving Honolulu in Nov. 1647, in the ship ''Abram H. Howland," dipt. W. T. Walker, and arriving at New Bedfoid April 2d, 1848, after a pleasant voyage of a little more thun four months. During that year he was, at his own request, released from the service of the A B. C. F. M„ and was settled as Pastor of the Presbytery Church at Rural Valley and Glade River, Armstrong County, Pa. Here he remained nearly eijjht years, when he accepted a call to Kendalville. Noble County, Indiana. The cl male of that region, however, proving very unfavorable to health, after several years, he removed east again, and became Pastor of the Churches of Mount Union and Shirley, in the bounds of the Presbytery of Huntingdon. Subsequently, on the establishment of the Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia, he accepted the post of Chaplain to that institution, where he continued till the df.y o his death. His beloved wife, Mrs. Rebecca D. Forbes, had preceded him to the Heavenly Home Jan 16th, 1878. His missionary life at these islands embraced a period of fifteen years and a half, and the total period of his service under the A. B. C F. M. was seventeen years. The Philadelphia Presbyterian says of him : " His kind and gentle ways, and his cheering and comforting words won many hearts to himself, and opened the way to spiritual guidance which will be remembered by many to whom he had access. His uttractive character and useful life won him the respect and confidence of all his Christian brethren Of his fellow-voyagers in the reinforcement of 1812, Rev. L Lyons, of Waimea, Rev. Messrs. Alexander, of Wailuku, and Lyman, of Hilo. with their wives, and Mrs. Armstrong, Mrs Emerson and Mrs. Hitchcock are the only remaining survivors. A. 0. F.

What shall it be for each one of us ; for our association; for the land of our birth, or adoption T It is a momentous thought that we can shape it largely as we will. Our association is now in its eleventh year, and we ought to be putting off tbe things of childhood, and taking up those of manhood ; that is, we ought to do more and better work; there is a plenty of it waiting for us. Let us make a good record for 1881. the Christian church. They came with olulu their chances of taking and spreading their certficates of Church Membership. it are, perhaps, better than the native's.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 49 POTSDAM AND ITS PALACES. A few months since, I think I could have written you some pages in reference to Potsdam and its historic treasures with a confidence, which now at this later day, I feel is, in a large degree, wanting. Not that this country-home of the Prussian monarchs seems less interesting, less suggestive to me alter repeated visits than it did when I visited it for the first time, but rather that it has taken on such fine and full proportions; has, to me, with my somewhat larger and more accurate knowledge of its Past, become almost another world, that 1 shrink with more modesty from entering upon such a comprehensive and far-reaching subject in the necessarily cramped limits of a letter. It strikes me that great richness of material may be a hindrance rather than an aid to the traveler in the writing of letters. The more the vista of the past opens before him, the clearer his vision becomes in detecting the footprints of other generations, along the paths Rnd thoroughfares, where he still walks with the living, the greater becomes the difficulty of picturing scenes which once attracted him by some exterior beauty or charm. And yet with this widening of the horizon, with this addition of new and picturesque figures to the historic landscape, there comes a desire to share with others something of the pleasure which their discovery has brought him, notwithstanding, he feels how great is his inability to put them fully and fittingly before others. I can truly *ay that few places which J have been privileged to visit since being in the •' Old World " have interested me more than Potsdam, and for the student and traveller to p»ss it by, would be to leare some of the most interesting pages of European history unread. For history is not alone from books and the printed page, but from the scenes where the great actors in the tragedy and comedy of human-life played tneir respective parts. The town lies something like fifteen or twenty miles from Berlin, easily reached in a short time by rail, not too far away to be the object of an afternoon's drire and an attraction for a pedestrian who would enjoy the miles of forest, stretching away tween Potsdam and the suburbs of the capi- The Week of Prayer Was observed in Honolulu, by a union of the Fort-street and Bethel Churches.

Carlyle calls the region where the Kings of Prussia built themselves huge and royal dwellings, " Amphibious!" And I do not know that the adjective is wholly inapplicable. Just about this point toe river Havel widens and broadens into little lakes and bays, sends out watery arms embracing the low-lying hills, wages war with the sandy flats, till they compromise by forming a reedy marsh, so that to tell where the land ends and the water begins, would be at times far from easy. It required all the energy and ambition of the Great Elector to take such a place in hand, and the taste and industry of his successors to carry on the work thus begun, to make from these "wildlands," a little earthly Paradise. There is Potsdam, the garrison town, plain, excessively prim and proper, with great casernes; companies of soldiers, poorly paved streets, quiet houses, with a " Rip Van Wynkle " like stillness and hush enveloping them, which in long winter evenings becomes painfully oppressive. And then there is royal, beautiful Potsdam, a home for Kings, a joy and inspiration for all. It is a city of Palaces, separated by splendid parks and gardens, abounding in architectural and artistic surprises, a place where nature and art have joined their forces, expressing their desire for harmony and peace in vinewreathed statues, and columns, in the welcome which the murmuring, bird.filled primeval forest has given to the massive edifices of stone and marble which successive monarch* here have reared. You leave the great city of Berlin with its noise, its neverending bustle, it." hrijliant life and ceaseless activity, and in a few moments can be in this new world, deep buried in the heart of quiet wood-lands, now thrilled with the delicious surprise, which comes with the unexpected out-look through openings in drooping, leafy branches, on some fair and softly tinted landscape ; now walking in the midst of thronging memories through the still corridors and stately halls and marble galleries, of palaces, whose founders have long since departed ; or at evening watch from the almost glassy surface of some lake or widening rivercourse, which lies about you, the glory of the parting day. Long reaches of pines and oaks stand in out-line against the warm back-ground of the evening sky; on the far horizon rise mirage-like the 4,pmes, the spires, the towers of the distant town; from some wooded height or nearer point upon the curving border of the lake, stands revealed some palace or turreted castle, white sails rise from a passing boat, lazily drifting through the shadows of the purple twilight; voices break upon the evening's hush, and then as quickly die away; tbe night air comes fresh and sweet from the low-lands; stars gleam here and there in the fading skies, then these re-appear, asserting their " right " as sleepless watchers of the sleapieg earth. A " day in Potsdam " is one of the regulaof the tourist in this part of Gertion duties many, and very faithfully many ofthem perform their duty. But necessary as this is when one's time is ljmited.it ishardly tbe way to enjoy this interesting bit of country. But here at last our conductor shout*, Potsdam, the rea|, actual Potsdam. Letting the crowd life than to wander through tombs and palaces, we saunter down the old stone bridge which brings us to the town. A palace meets us at our very entrance, a great bulky affair, still fast asleep, though the summer sun is mounting into the heavens, and the sun of our century is quite beyond its zenith. Some day it may wake again, but at present it gives no signs of returning life, and a few lackeys and guides and watchful soldiers keep guard over it. You are led through long rooms, full of fading curtains and tapestries, the walls adorned with old pictures. Out through the windows you catch glimpses of the great parade ground, and beyond that some great stone-sculpture, some triumphant Neptune out-riding the waves. Here, in this town palace, it was that one of the Prussian Kings, the father of Frederick the Great, used to hold what wns called his "Tobacco Parliament" an odd sort of an affair, which I imagine would be considered rather unkingly in our day. This was the same king, you know, who had such a passion for having an army of giants. He ransacked Europe for them. They show you still in this old palace on the Havel, the apparatus, with which he used to measure them. He paid out millions of dollars for this purpose. For an Irish giant something like nine thousand dollars was 1881. 1870-71, important epochs in German hisVery peaceful do they look here, drooped and lestnoned in clusters, in this house of peace and worship. What a contrast this Sabbath-like stillness and the roar and rattle of fierce battle-fields, where they have floated over the dead and dying ! The castellian opens a little grated door in the rear of the elaborate marble pulpit, and through the flickering light, we see what is to me, a strangely impressive spot. Nothing could be more severely simple and plain. It is a stone cell or recess, lighted when n visitor comes. There is not in the remotest way anything to suggest ornament. On one side of the crypulie the remains of the father ef Frederick the Great, on the other those of the great King and General himself. The gloom, the stillness, the utter plainness of the place renders it singularly impressive As you stand by the side of the plain black coffin where Napoleon stood in 1806, you feel something of that respect tory. and reverence which this great conqueror is said to have felt in the presence of this eloquent reminder of the great departed. No stranger character does history offer than that of the great Frederick, so great in his greatness, yet uniting such human, weaknesses thereto.

It is a spot which I enjoy visiting, and if I could have my way, would keep you here long. But in closing, I must speak rapidly of a few REMAINING FOINTS OF INTEREST. Just beyond " Sans Souci " lies the famous Wind Mill." of which perhaps you have often read in history, which Frederick, king though he was, was unable to buy of the sturdy-willed old miller. It is partially covered with ivy. and is a most picturesque object. Further on is the beautiful Orangery, with its plants and paintings. We are in a world of gardens, of fountains, of statues. They increase as we go forward. With a few words only can I speak of the great New Palace," built by Frederick the Great, "where we could spend hours wandering with delight. Down by the shore of one of the lakes, is the " Marble Palace." Far up the river lies the Pfneninsel," with its interesting little castle, where the good and beautiful Queen Louisa loved to come in summer. How sweetly the nightingales still sing here !

EDITOR'S TABLE. — '' " -- -- -- �TII X FRIKXD, FEBRUARY, are no We are glad to learn that There legal objections to the immediate adoption of the '' Postal Union," the necessary Acts having been passed by the Hawaiian Legislature. News has been received from the Micronesian Missronaries, and we rejoice to learn that the stations are generally prosperous. Additional and full letters and reports may be expected by the " Morning Star," to arrive on or about March Ist. From want of space we are compelled to omit a review of Miss Bird's book on Japan, which we had prepared for this issue. We would merely add that the book is most interesting, and may be obtained at Thrum% book-store, in Fort Street. In what manner can those residing on the islands communicate with and gratify their friends abroad better than by subscribing for and sending to them the Friend? Specially if those absent friends onceresided on the islands. The grand event of the past month, was the departure of His Majesty and suite, on a grand tour around the world, via, San Francisco, Japan, China, India, Egypt, Europe and America. All friends of Hawaii, cannot but hope and pray- for their prosperity, success, and safe return, laden with the rich experience, which, such travels are calculated to impart. Chinese Church Funds.—At a recent meeting of the Trustees, it appears from a report of the Treasurer, that after all pledged subscriptions are collected, and the reasonable avails of the expected Fair realized, about 81,000 will remain unpaid. We think this is a good showing; and now we hope those who have not availed themselves of " the luxury of doing good," in the way of assisting in this enterprise, will immediately forward their subscriptions to Mr. Goo Kirn, W. W. Hall, or John Waterhouse, Junior. We would acknowledge receiving a logue of Amherst College, for 1880, and also a catalogue of the University of New York, together with two numbers of the University Quarterly. In one of these we find a brief sketch of Chancellor Crosby's life, and this remark, " Dc Quince/, in jiis autobiography, boasts of beginning Greek when nine years old, but Dr. Crosby read it three years before that age." After graduating with honors, he went into the country and " buried his genius, for five years, beneath the furrows which he plowed." He is regarded as one of the best Greek scholars in America. .

From the boys must our ranks be recruited from time to time, and it is of utmost importance that n good and wholesome influence be exercised over them, the following note taken from the N. Y.

Many of young men of to-day were taken into oils of the temper yesterday, when they boys. How often we vainly endeavor ach them. Let us be in this matter as as the serpent. Many of these boys, if get any religious instruction, it is but an hour a week in the Sunday School.

This document, as published appears to be a far different affair from what was expected. So far from expelling the Chinese from United States, protects them in their rights, if they choose to remain, and whether others will be allowed to come or how many may come, will depend upon future legis- lation. Touching, however, the opium clause, there can be no question. The United States and the Chinese Government have adopted the policy of the Hawaiian Government as appears from the following article of the Commercial Treaty, and we sincerely hope GreatBritain and the " Great Powers " will follow in the wake of the Hawaiian, United States and Chinese Governments : Article ll.—The Governments of China and of the United States mutually agree and updertake that Chinese subjects shall not be permitted to import opium into any of the ports of the United States, and citizens of the United States shall not be permitted to import opium into any of the open ports of China, or to transport from one open port to any other open port, or to buy and sell opium in any of the open ports of China. This absolute prohibition, which extends to vessels owned by the citizens or subjects of either Power, to foreign vessels employed by them, or to vessels owned by (he citizens or subjects of either Power, and employed by other persons for transportation of opium, shall be enforced by appropriate legislation on the part of China and the United States, and the benefits of the favored claims in existing treaties shall not be claimed by the citizens or subjects of either Power cs against the provision of this article. Hsb. J. M. Smith, thus writes from San Francisco. •' Mr. Seward, the late Chinese Minister, has gone to Washington. In his book, relating to the Chinese, he endeavors to show that the Chinaman is a useful person, who has largely assisted in developing California industry, and who cannot be driven away except withloss. A year ago, the book would have been " hooted at," in this city ; now, it may find some candid readers. There has been a suspension of the war against the Chinese. A faint prospect, through the new Treaty, that power might be gained to drive them away, brings the public face to face with tbe question, Shall we do it ? And with this question, come new and divers reasons as to the advisbility of it. As a fact, as proved by statistics, the Chinese have been diminishing during the last four years. It looks to me as if this Chinese question would soon subside benenth the surface, and theroto.th.it has been made over it will clearly appear to be a political row, fed and fanned by ambitions leaders ; that and nothing more." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This new past and illustrious history, had a singular life, this preaching of the necessity of a ■:lnrm and fascination for me. But of this, change of heart, called forth the opposition another time. Though so many, many and ridicule of the Formalist portion of the years have come between that past and our Church.

The soul was slowly is a city of great names and memories. As : ! an educational centre, especially in the department of Theology, it has offered rare privileges to a great throng of students, not alone from various parts of Germany, but from other European countries, and from America. Its University, while still enjoying sn excellent reputation,has been eclipsed, now, by the great Universities of Leipsig and Berlin. Still, Halle, if for no other reason than its past, cannot fall to attract many students. Later on in the winter I may send you a little sketch of this city, so picturesquely and beautifully situated on the peacefully flowing river Saale and mention some of those names which have united to give this University so important a position. For quiet, student life, the town seems almost ideally attractive, and is full of a charm which those great and busy cities, where some of the German Universities are situated, can never offer. But now it is my object to speak of the Halle of well-nigh two hundred years ago. When Francke first came here to enter actively upon those charges which had been entrusted to him, the University had been opened but a short time, and he entered with earnestness upon his professional duties. But he was not less zealous in his duties as pastor. In our day, though our charities are far from being as extensive and well managed as they should be, yet they are so far in advance of those of that remote day, that it is almost impossible for us to conceive of the poverty and destitution which this young pastor was forced to see in his parish. His great, noble heart was kindled with zeal to do what he could for the oppressed and poverty-stricken and forsaken members of his flock. He gathered the children from the street about him, instructed them, and gave them such assistance as he was able. But his own limited means allowed him to do but little. He turned in this way ana that. He endeavored, through soliciting contributions, to gain some assistance. He wrote and published, and the profit frOm the sale of his writings he consecrated to the poor. In his house he placed a little contribution box, >n the hope that through this some aid might come. And help was nearer than he thought. One day a lady placed there a small sum, only a few thaiers, but small as it was, it was destined to produce mighty results. Francke welcomed it as a token of promise, and on the very same day began, definitely, those labors on behalf of children which, after a lapse of two centuries, are continued with such beneficial results. What lessons are contained in the little things of life! The '• Widow's Mite," was, and is, deemed worthy of the Master's Blessing. The glory, the beauty, the power, of human effort lies in these little beginnings. Every life bears within it the seeds of tbe grandest achievement and noblest heroism ! What encouragement and incitement there is for each one, no matter how humble the stand, how limited the resources, to grand and glorious faith and deeds, which shall bear blessed fruit for time and eternity! On this small capital, then, Francke began his work. At first the outlay called only for a few books, and a teacher, engaged for a short time. But this was something. Soon another little contribution box found a place in the pastor's house, and as the young pas- �tor's heart grew great with hope, and longing, and tender desire, his prayers became an earnest cry for help. Like the early drops of a shower, which is later to abundantly bless the earth, little offerings began to come from one side and another. An interest was awakened in-the city of Halle, and in different parts of the country. The school for poor children steadily increased. Then one by one those children who had no parents or friends to care for them, found in Francke, as it were, an earthly father sent by their Heavenly Protector to watch over them ; these were given a home, and food, uud clothing. Then a school for children of wealthier parents was opened. The progress of Faith never ceased. We, who see the results in this later day, read of the mighty operations which date from that distant time, admire the splendid buildings which have been reared, one after another, forget the first steps which led up to all this. What times of discouragement- and of difficulty this brave worker must have had! On one side he was occupied with the duties of his University Professorship; on another with his labors as a pastor of a poor and needy parish. Then his enemies and persecutors gave him no rest, and his pen must be kept busy to defend himself or his faith against false charges which were brought against them. And then there were growing up as answer to his prayers and effort, various schools and organizations, which called for constant and discriminating attention. A general commanding a mighty army in the midst of some fierce engagement, is an impressive figure ; lifted for the time to an heroic and almost superhuman height! How infinitely more so is such a leader, who is at the same time a herald of peace I Towards Easter of the year 1695, he began his first slight efforts. In 169S the corner-stone of an Orphan Asylum was laid! There were those who laughingly and sneeringly predicted thai it would never be completed. They lived to see how little worth their prophecies had. Others came to help. The rich and poor gave out of their abundanceand their poverty. Francke, not contented with gathering the orphans about him,remembered also the poor who were in need of proper food. Hundreds were the recipients of this bounty. Sometimes there was seemingly no possible means of carrying on the various efforts for good. At times those in charge came to tell him that there was no money left to supply the wants of so many hundreds for the ensuing day. But the faith which had been kindled at the beginning into such a fervent glow, still burned brightly in Francke's heart. At the most unexpected moments,from known and unknown sources, help came in one form or another. At length the main building for the orphan asylum was completed, and its founder placed over the entrance :— 1881. 19 THK tRIa.NI), MARCH, structed, by 108 teachers, under the super- did"not yield to fear of Pope and Emperor. intendence of Francke.

He died in 1727, at the age of 64, and is buried in the old cemetery of Halle. His son followed him as superintendent. Since then this noble work has been carried on most efficiently, and to-day remains as a splendid monument to the faithful worker, who has now entered upon his heavenly re.yard. Thousands of orphans have in the Asylum found a home, Christian love, and careful training, and have gone forth to be a blessing to the land. Thousands of other children have received here their education, and have grown up to be useful men and women in all ranks of society. From this centre, millions of bibles have issued for Germany. Here missionaries and teachers of the world, in far distant lands, have received their training. Here the poor and hungry have found food ; the widow a home and protection. No one should visit Halle and not pay a visit to these various schools and institutions, and they are worth coming from far to see. The buildings form an immense complex, a village in themselves, surrounded by extensive gardens and grounds for recreation and exercise. You scarcely can repress an exclamation of astonishment at seeing what has been here accomplished in an exterior and material way, and this is only the envelope of that spiritual life which is still so active here.

IBSI. DOES HOT OUR POSTAL SYSTEM NEED REFORM? If 814 letters " Short-paid." were forwarded from tbe New York Postoffice to the Hawaiian Islands, during 1880, does not this fact indicate the need of reform ? Probably as many more Were forwarded by Mr. Dougherty, of the San Francisco Postoffice. When is this state of things to be remedied ? If Mr. Hopper, at New York, and Mr. Dougherty, at San Francisco, were to cease their philanthropic labors,we should be in sad case of bewilderment. Some of our people so far appreciate the efforts of these gentlemen,that they have sent forward handsome testimonials ; but slas, it appears from the report of Mr. Hopper, in New York; only 65 replies were received for 814 letters forwarded ! This is rather a poor • showing ! From our local papers, we learn that Government officials and Foreign Representatives are sadly mourning over the loss of their letters. We would suggest that search be made in the " Dead Letter Box," in Washington. Now, we nut in tain, that the adoption of the "International Postal Union" would effectually remedy this deplorable state of irregularity in our present postal system, it required twenty years of earnest effort on the part of a few citizens, to bring about and secure the Reciprocity Treaty, but we hope our present postal system will not be suffered to exist for that period, before we shall enjoy the benefits of the Postal Union treaty. George F. Hopper, Esq., connected with the New York Postoffice, having a brother residing in Honolulu, naturally feeling an interest in our Island community, has, for years, volunteered to forward " Short-paid letters, passing through that office. It is a noble and generous act on his part. So far, so good. But is this the method to be pursued in an affair of this nature? We do not notice any effort on the part of the Hawaiian Government, or the Postmaster Genoral, to remedy this sad state of affairs, This is a subject demanding immediate action, and thorough reform. We are somewhat surprised at the apathy on this subject of our three weekly papers, devoted to the business, commerce, and welfare of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In all civilised countries, except the Sandwich Islands, it is accounted among the first elements of civilization, to enjoy a good postal system. While nearly every ether country on our globe is now " within the " Postal Union," our little " pinhead " Kingdom thinks best to stand outside. 18 81/ Mr. Hopper has kindly furnished the fol owing that he was born in Scotland, and of course valuable statistics, relating to the entitled to speak with author.ty upon matletters, at the New York ters of intellectual philosophy.

America Receives the Lion's Share, Under the Reciprocity Treaty.—This is a view which we have often asserted, but now figures prove it, to any one who will carefully peruse tbe Custom House Report, as recently published. We should suppose that the moat captious critic of the treaty would be satisfied with its working in favor of the United States. If its renewal and continuance at Washington, depend upon securing the Island trade, arid the development of the resourcea of the •' Pacific Slope," there can be no doubt about it. A Scotchman's and a Chinaman's Brain, Compared.—lt is an interesting subject of study, to note the influence of the mind upon man's physical nature ; but especially his brain. It has long been a settled point that men of great intellectual powers have been poseesssed of large brains. So well has this matter been settled as to originate the saying that to speak of a man as possessed of a large brain, was equivalent to eomplimeut him with uncommon intellectual force or power. Our attention has been called to this 'subject by reading an interesting article in the Victorian Review, published in Melbourne, in January. The article is by James Jamieson, which indicates where. Not less remarkable, though explicable in the same way, is the fact that the average weight of brain in sixteen Chinese coolies, taken by chance, was found to be greater than the European average, and even that of the Scotchman. There may be some other explanation; but the modifying influence of an ancient civilization, and though of rather a low order, must naturally suggest itself." Obituary.—The last mail brought the sad and most unexpected intelligence of the death of Mrs. Julia A. Spencer, late of Maknwao, Maui, wife of Ambrose Spencer, She died in New York Esq. city February 2nd, after an illness of only a few hours. She was spending the winter in that city, in company with her daughter. The Islands have been her home, with occasional intermissions,for thirty years, arriving here in 1851,passenger on board the " R. B. Forbes." Her christian virtues, loveliness of person nnd character, endeared her, not only to family friends, but to a wide circle of acquaintance here and in America. She was born in Carthage, New York, April 1, 1823, and married in 1842. For many years she had been a member of the Baptist Church. While tendering our warmest sympathies to fam'ly friends, we can speak of Mrs. Spencer as one of those rare, beautiful, noble and Christian ladies,whose presence make happy homes, and adorn society. Our limited community can ill afford to spare one whose character rendered her so deservedly esteemed and beloved. Mr. Moody's Meetings in San Francisco.—We rejoice to learn that the interest in these meetings is increasing, rather than abating. The general influence is most salutary, even aside from the religious bearings of the subject. We copy the following from the Pacific, of February 2nd:— In the hearing of our informant an officer of the police court said : " As long as Moody and Sankey remain, we might as well adjourn this court." Others have noted " �the check that has been given to crime, in all its grades, the last few weeks. Tbe fact is not without value in itself, but it is chiefly significant as showing how permeating, farreaching, and constraining, is the work of Gods spirit, through these men and their co-adjutors. It has gathered force, strength, breadth, depth, through the weeks. We have met with no one who thought it had culminated." Rey.W. H. Woodwell.—This clergyman and his wife arrived by the last steamer, from San Francisco. He is a graduate of Andover Seminary, and has been preaching a few years in New England. He is expecting to labor among foreigners on the -t-assss) Plantation. P. C. Jones, Esq , has been very active in securing his services. We congratulate our friends Mr. nnd Mrs. Whitney, Mr. Goodale, and others on the arrival of Mr. Woodwell, who comes highly recommended. We are glad to hear of the prosperity of the Young Men's Debating Society. In a community where the temptations are so strong to work only for greed of money, and to seek enjoyment only in sensual pleasures, it is an encouraging item that there are some ready to take up the work of cultivating their higher faculties, and to find their enjoyment in such exercises as elevate the whole nature to higher attainments and so to higher joys.

Biao, author of •• A Lntiy Lile 10 tha Rocky Mountains." "Sis Months in the Sandwich Islands,'' etc., etc. in two volumes, with map nnd illustrations. Mew York. 0. P Putnam's Sons, 1881. This is a rare and choice book of travel. There is great wisdom in the choice of the title " Unbeaten Tracks." The writer has not followed in the track of other tourists and travelers. Former experience as traveler and writer, had taught her just what was necessary for successful exploration and description. Having read with interest Miss Bird's volumes on th •• Sandwich Islands " and the " Rocky Mountains," it has been with no little desire, that we have looked forward to the appearance of these volumes. There is still another reason why we have been somewhat anxiously awaiting the publication of these volumes, for s-oine months ago, it was our privilege to be a guest with the author in one of the cultured homes of Scotland, in they cinity of Edinburgh, when she kindly allowed us to read some proof-sheet pages ofthe English edition of these volumes. We then partook of the first fruits of the rich harvest, which wns in store for the multitude ofreaders now perusing these goodly volumes on both sides of the Atlantic, which Murray in London, and Putnam's Sons in New York, have issued in such becoming and commendatory style, it is pleasant for the eye to rest on the fair and handsomely printed p.iges of Putnam's edition now lying on our table. Miss Bird's former books of travel, to which we have alluded, gave her position and reputation as a bold and daring traveler, possessed of rare descriptive ability. We feel quite confident that these volumes will more than sustain that reputation. Of some writers it has been said, that in their first publication, they strike " 12," but ever after are striking the smull hours. This surely cannot be asserted of Miss Bird. Kr.owing from her Hawaiian and Kocky Mountain experiences, some of the difficulties awaiting her in the unexplored regions of Japan, it must have required considerable nerve, in her feeble health to have projected her Japanese tour. Already had she circumnavigated the globe, by way of Australia, and now she must again leave the luxury and refinement of English society and home, to re-cross the broad Atlantic and • - - broader Pacific, and forsaking the " beaten track'0 travel alone for weeks and months among the people of Japan. In these volumes she tells her story of adventures, inconvenience, hardship and pleasure. On Hawaii and the Rocky Mountains, she had acquired reputation as a bold and fearless rider, performing feats of horsemanship which some regard as incredible, but in Japan, ere iter journey is half completed, she writes thus : " I have now ridden or sat upon 76 horses, all horrible." vol. 1., page 322. Sometimes this delicate-lady would walk for many miles over the roughest and muddiest roads, cross rapid streams in leaking ferry-boats, ascend dangerous rivers, force 1881. her way over rugged mountain-passes with only a native guide, explore volcanic regions ns difficult ot access as any on Hawaii, and live among the " hairy Amos," as she did in the grass houses of Hawaiians. The chapters in these volumes on the char.cter, history and condition of the " Amos of Veso, open up a new phase of the human race. The " Amos tire the original inhabitants of Japan, but as unlike the Japanese, as the North American Indians are unlike the Anglo Saxons. Our narrow limits prevent us from copying many pages beautifully descriptive of Japanese manners and customs, mountain scenery and scientific exploration. Miss Bird is s Botanist of in irked ability. It is however to her descriptions of the state, condition nnd prospects of the Jap-nese people, that we have been particularly drawn. While she is not an enthusiast upon the success of Missions among the Islands, yet she writes with great candor and fairness fully appreciating what has already been accomplished among a people whose old religion »nd superstitions are waning, and where the christian element is becoming prominent. She often alludes to the fact that foreign influences of an injurious nature are gaining ground among that people. She was fortunate in securing the services of an intelligent Japanese very anxious tn acquire the English language, in which he had made already good progress, but some of his efforts were quite ludicirous. Miss B,rd thus writes on page 320, vol. I. A few days ago, I remarked, ' What a "beautiful day this is !' and soon after, notebook in hand, he said, you say ' a beautiful day.' Is that better English than ' a devilish fine day as most foreigners say ?" Again, •' when you ask a question, you never say ' what the d—l is it f as other foreigners do. Is it proper for men to say it and not for women ? If he wishes to tell me that he has seen a very tipsy man, he always says he has seen 'a fellow as drunk as an Englishman.' " Our limits remind us that we must stop, but on almost every page we find something we would gladly transfer to our pages. Our readers must resort to Thrum's book-store and buy these interesting volumes if they would enjoy what we have done and hope to do again. We really feel that the reading public are under an immense debt of gratitude to Miss Bird, for while other writers have followed the " beaten path and visited Consular and open ports, she has thrown herself among the 34,000,000 of Japan, and told us just what she saw and what we are glad to learn. " " ' '' " dington, of the United States whaler George Henry. She was purchased, fitted out. and sent to England as a gift to her Majesty Queen Victoria, by the President and people of the United States, as a token of good will and friendship. This table was made from her timbers when she was broken up, and is presented by the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland to the President of the United States as a memorial of the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the Resolute." Temperance in England.—The people of Leeds, England, are to be congratulated upon having for their chief magistrate a total abstainer, Mayor Tatham a member of the Society of Friends, who neither uses wine himself or provides it for his or the city's guests. At a recent opening of a workingmen's tempcrence hall at Shipley, Mayor Tatham said: "Temperence was the root of all social advancement, while its opposite led to sickness, distress and ruin. If it was only possible to obtain a nation of total abstainers there \v6uld be no pauperism, no crime and no lunacy, but comfort and abundance " He had " invited the council to dine with him without the usual accompaniment of intoxicating liquors," and again he had repeated the experiment, and with very satisfactory results, when it fell to his duty to give an assize dinner, at which were judges, leading members of the bar, etc., and he added : •' Even if Her Majesty visited Leeds she might well be entertainei on the same principal; at least she woult be if she visited the hall during the time that it was his official home. He had no wine in his house for forty years, and he made no exception in the mayor's parlor at the town hall." Yorl£ LIFE INSURANCE CO. Thirty-fourth Annual Report!
