NEW YORK SAILOR'S HOME.
Among the various methods devised for
the moral improvement of seamen, the establishment of good boarding houses ranks
next in order after the preaching of the gospel. We present oar readers with a view
of the building, alanding 190 Cherry street,
New York, and called the " New Sailor's
Home." It was erected by the American
S. F. Society, and ia now under its direction. During last year it accommodated
more than 4000 boarders The social, moral, and religious influence of the institution
has, thus tar, been moat happy upon seamen
visiting that port. Long may ha doors be

THE DEATH OF THE NONANONA.
Salutations to you, to all my friends; give
ear to these words of mine, for they are tho
last I shall ever deliver before you. Four
have been the yeara of my existance, and I
am an old man, feeble, sickly, and very infirm, aud it only remains for me to go down
to tho grave as my honorable ancestors, the
Lama Hawaii ana Kumu Hawaii have done
before me; great regard for their fair names,
They rest from their labors in peace. I follow them, for my work ia done. I die;
therefore thoso are my laat commandments
to you my brethren, my friends.
I at, Do not mourn with loud, extravagant
unrestrained grief, it ia not well, it is foolish
and ignorant; thu boistrous noise that makes
the head to ache, as ia the cuatom here.
2nd, If you have affection for me, regard
the good instruction I have given you; by
so doing, you will show true affection. You
have received u liberal shore of audi instruction in the four years that have passed.
I have frequently visited you in your houses, associated and conversed with you; part
of my teochings have been my own words,
port the words of another, but which I have
conveyed to you. I do not think my wmk
is perfect, it is not. Where is a perfect
man? 1 have done wrong in some things,
and acknowlodgo it this day before you.—
Forgive and forget my faults. But my good
wojks, those that tend to knowledge, those
you to remember and regard,

them for the cockroaches, or lay them aside

man's guilt? Not in the physical act of doing his neighbor wrong, because at that moment he is supposed to be drunk, and the
drunken man is not himself, although he
may be responsible for his action. We have
been led to make the foregoing remarks,
from observing some most excellet remarks
upon this subject by his Honor Mr Justice
Stephen, before the Berrima Circuit Court,
of New South Wales. We take the following extract from the Sydney Herald, net,
September 5, 1844. Remarks his Honor—

"The next case hi point of atrocity was one of a violent aasault, committed either with intent to murder
or do some serious injury, by a man whilst in a state of
drunkenness. The prisoner had stated that if he had
committed the nssiult he was perfectly unconscious of
it, for he was at the time insensible from the effects of
drinking. He would however aay no more on the subject, as they would hear the evidence, and he would
not prejudice the case; yet he would take that opportunity of sprain expressing tho sentiment which hud
fallen from him before, as well as fiom the other judges, that intoxication was neither an excuse nor extenuation of crime; for the law has wisely provided that
what a man does when he is drunk, he shall bounsweruble for when sober. Were this provision not made,
society could not be held together. If aroan by reducing himself to the state ofa beast was not held answerable for h;s actions, no man would be secure, and liie
and property would be continually unsafe. There
would also be «n additional risk,for persons would feign
intoxication as a clonk for crime, and it would be impossible to prove that they were not drunk,—and this
would prove futul to the best interests of society. To
prevent these evils then, the law had provided that
whatever action a man commits when drunk, he shall
be answerable for when sober, as though he had done
it when in the full and perfect possession of his facul-
Uea*
His Honor next proceeds to state that one
great object of Courts of justice is not merely to puni*h criminals, but to reform them.
The community, he argues should do every
thing in its power, to banish the use of intoxicating drinks, because " it was well
known that a large portion, and in fact, by
far the largest part of the cases could be
traced to liquor." All good citizena who
had the welfare ofthe colony at heart should

Funeral services of T. Haalilio. one
of His H. Ms. Envoys.—On Thursday,
March -H, was attended the funeral services
of one whose ditatb is universally lamented
His station and character entitled him to
marked distinction. A nation had been
anxiously waiting in anxious suspense to
welcome him to its bosom. His Majesty,
the Chiefs, common people and foreign community were anxiously awaiting the arrival
of the vessel that should bring him to the
shores of his native laud. Unexpected delays only tended to increase the anxiety, and
render the suspense more burdensome.
The intelligence then was mingled with sadness, " Mr Rio laids has come, but Haalilio IS DEAD."
His remains were conveyed to our shores
in the ship Montreal, on board which he
died. Three o'clock, P. M. was the hour
appointed for the funeral services to take
place.A procession was formed within the
walls of the Fort, under the special direction of his Excellency Governor Kekuanoa.
It was led by a hand of music.
The procession marched to the King's
('lmpel, which was densely crowded.
The religious services were conducted by
Rev Mr Armstrong. After singing, prayer
And an address in the native lunguage, Mr
Armstrong delivered the following address

with prayer in English. The exercises being closed, the procession was re-formed and
followed the corpse to the Royal Tomb,
where now the remains of the much lamented Ambassador repose, beside those of His
H. Majesty Rihorilio and Queen, Kahuinanu, and Kiuau.
We are most happy to add, that the exercises throughout, were conducted with the
utmost propriety and becoming decorum.

THE T?RIEND.
1845.)
COMMUNICATED.
MARQUESAN ISLANDS.
PART VI.
A few weeka ago a sacrifice waa offered
here, to propitiate the deity, that he would
cause ruin to descend, and breadfruit to grow.
The victim was a boy seized upon the
the presence ol their doctor, (who by the by
is well paid) they have little objection to receive help from ua. Considerable care ia
generally taken of their aick, more than the
character of the people would warrant us to
expect; but if there be no relative near to
attend to their wants, sad indeed is the fate
of a aick Marqueaan; great neglect, but
no ill usage.
Burials.—When death is seen to be inevitable, the friends prepare a coffin, sometimes a piece of an old canoe, but more
commonly a tree hewn out, covered with
cloth and bound with cinnet; a house is
erected in which the body is to be deposited; when death approaches and breathing
becomes difficult, aome friend lays his hand
upon the mouth and nostrils of the patient
to stop the breath; thia practice haa led to
the belief that they ill treat and suffocate
the sick. What good they imagine it will
do 1 cannot conceive, but it ia certainly
done in kindness; to all enquiries they reply, it is a good custom among us;" when
dead they are put into their coffin, which it
placed upon a platform in the tomb, about
five feet from the ground, where they remain till the dogs violate their sanctuary, or
the building falfa from the effect of the
weather, which is the caae in the course of
a few years; aome near relation then aeeks
and conceals the skull, leaving the rest exposed In ctiso of an anticipated invasion,
the tombs are broken up by friends, and the
bones concealed, or thrown into the sea, lest
they should fall into the handa of the enemy.
The tomb, or house, is often placed within a
few feet of the dwelling, but more commonly upon the side of some neighboring hill;
for a time it is of course very offensive;
some upon Nuuhiva I have seen retained in
the dwelling bouse for about a fortnight,

rank are embalmed with a preparation of
tumeric, cocoa nut oil, &c the body being
rubed every day for about a month. Those
who have no friends to build a house for
them, are deposited in a hollow tree; others
are taken out in a canoe and thrown into
the sea. A stranger from Hivaoa sometime
ago died here, and was put into a tree; his
relations hearing of his death cane over and
carried away his head; the daughter of
the chief of Vaitahu pulled off the nails
from the fingers and toes, and wore them
round her neck like beada. To inter in the
ground would violate tabu by placing the
head ao that persons might walk over it; the
same principal formerly prevented people
from entering the cabin of a ship; but find
ing themselves considerable losers by such
scruples, they have compromised the matter,
and aay that tabu ia of no importance among
foreigners. The highest chief in the land
will now ait in a cabin quite unconcerned,

By hearts where name the muse'a fires.

Resound from souls the muse inspires.
Yes, every breeie that fans the earth.
Or gently stirs tlie waving pine,

Which almost vies with that divine.
The dashing surge, the rippling stream.
The whirlwind in its wild career,
Yield music's richest,sweetest notes,
To charm the full accordant ear.
The gilded pencilling! of spring.
Whose skillful touch wskes notes of joy.
Is speaking music, where the wind
Drinks fromrich founts that never cloy.
But not a string of nature's lyre,
Shall ever wake unhallowed sounds;
True to her Maker she imparts
Her purest sweets to all around.
Iter bards to love and virtue given,
Extol the bliss theyalways feel;
But advocates of deadly

Their hearts in music ne'er conceal.
Aa fires volcanic smothered deep,
Long sweltering lie in depth profound,
But break at length their dreadfulsloop,
And death and ruin hurl around.
So luring bards, though long and well
They nectar's sweetest draught shall yield,
At length exhaust the labor'd fount,
And

Then heed no lyre, however sweet,

The tempests are all hush'd to sleep,
Not a cloud dims the vault of the sky,
Not a breath fans the face of the deep,
As the billows swell sluggishly by.
Not a sound save the surge of the ship
As she lazily rolls to and fro,
And the sails as they listlessly flap,
And the creak of the rudder below.
The sun from hit throne in the air,
Floods the sea with a torrent of light,
Which reflects his rays back in a glare
That o'erwhelms and daales the sight.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
When e'er at evenings peaceful close,
I bend the knee in prayer,
Then, Brother, will I ask for thee,
High heaven's most tender care.
I'll ask that friendship, love and hope,
May in thy pathway smile,
That faithful friends be ever near,
Thy sorrows to beguile.
I'll ask that mid each tempting snare,
That this seductive world portrays,
That virtue pure may thee attend,
Asit has done in younger days.
I'll ask that piety may shed
Its cheering beams on thee
I'll ask let what will be thy lot,
That thou wilte'er remember me.

J. S. Griffin, Secretary.
This early and decided stand of the Society, as shown by the foregoing extract,
and having previously numbered about forty members to the pledge in our infant settlement, was not without its influence in
securing the Legislative action in the fol

Notwithstanding the laws of our Provinsial government are as duly respected as
the laws of any part of the civilized world
(owing, doubtless, to our having no strong
drink) still our chief reliance is upon the
pledge and the circulation of temperance
information. Indeed the Legislative Committee wish it distinctly understood, that
their act does not touch the question of
strong drink, but that no
one shall destroy his neighbor by its sale.

EDUCATION.
—
unfortunate class of our fellow men to
whom God lias denied the use of two important senses. The science of education
has however, now advanced to that degree
in Prussia and Saxony that the dumb are
actually taught to articulate sounds, to speak,
to xeod with distinctness and propriety. We
have first been made acquainted with this
astonishing fact in reading the VHth Annul
Report of Horace Mann, Esq. the intelligent Secretary of the Massachusetts Board
of Education. It appears from the Report
that Mr Mann has travelled over Europe
for the benefit of gathering light to pour
upon the common school system of Massachusetts—a State where education has a
strong hold upon the lore and affection of
all classes in society. How true it is, that
the educated are awak in every laudible
way of improving their systems of education.
After giving an account of the system
pursued in imparting to the dumb the
knowledge of sounds and the use of their
articulating powers, the learned Secretary
remarks:—

they had been in expectation of the wine.
They were surprised. They looked at
him, and he looked at them. After locking the door on them, he said—" Don't be
suprised, gentlemen: when I dined with
you, you made me drink whether I would
or not; now I shall make you eat, whether
you will or not."
We love and venerate customs and usages which exert a good influence, and especially if they came down from bygone
ages; but if their tendency is hurtful and
injurious to society, then let them be abandoned. If a fashion is pernicious to individuals and society, then get a new one.—
That the wine drinking usages of society
have and do exert a most unhappy and
baleful influence there can be no doubt
when it is considered how many are now
confirmed in their habits of intemperance,
who commenced their downward career as
fashionable wine drinkers.

EDUCATION.
For me Friend.
One reason Why young people so often
think study a hardship and education irksome, arises from the manner in* which
their studies are conducted.
A certain portion of geography, of history, of languages, and various other subjects is read or committed to memory,
without any connexion between them being maintained. With regard to history,
for instance, a history of Greece or' of
Rome, or of England is pert into the hands
ofyoung persons, and when they have gone
through its pages, containing, a record of
certain events that transpire at certain periods, and of certain characters instrumental in producing those events; and if the
pupil can remember in what particular pe-
riod any great battle was fought, or'at what
time such a king reigned, or such a republic flourished, they ore then considered to
be acquainted with histoiy. They know,
however, no more of the mora] character?
istics of the several -nations which have
passed under review, of"their local peculiarities, of their progressive improvements,
of the intlueiitial bearing which one counpon another, than they know of
irmntion of their own minds, and'
think no,more -of the cause, and design of
the complicated, yet wise arrangement of
the earth's affairs, than they think of the
volitions which bring their own muscle* into play, their own limbs into action.
But let history be viewed, not as a mere

chronological register .of certain facts and
retires, a mere record of battles lost
or won, bbt as a science enriched with
treasures from almost -every source, as a
ecting link between .the various subjects of contemplation which ought to occupy the thoughts of intelligent beings,
and it will at once become a most interesting study.
The history of every nation comprehends, necessarily, its progress from barm to civilization; its internal changes,
causes producing those changes, and
irions characters by which they are
promoted; the rise and advancement of its
language, literature, laws, arts and scienmechanism of its legislative, politond eclesiastical system, together with

admirable preparation for rightly studying
biography and history, which furnish us
with the practical development, of character in conduct. If it be also -true that the
history of a nation will depend much on
its institutions,.whether legislative, civil ot

too, the nation derive any of its glory from

Many of the caves on iHawaii contain
the sulphute of soda, (glouber salts) both
in a state of efflorescence and in a ohryst tillne form. Prolmhly the existence of
this salt in such situations is owing to the

of the sulphuric acid of'the volcano on the

View of examining the state of the fortificatione, tfce. While there, he concluded
to deliver a discourse! A crowded audience attended, principally composed of
sailors and soldiers on duty there. The
Dr. took for his text—" Fear God, and
honor the king." In the course of his sermon, he had frequent occasion to repeat
the words oi his text. One of the sailors
belonging to the Macedonian, was observ-.

Doctor's once more repeating the words,
honor the king," the tnr could no longer
retain his indignation; he rose up and candidly exclaimed, Fear God, and honor
the Congress, but let the king alone;" at the
