my name in the Visitor's Book. To return
to the Centennial. I met Mr. Lyman, from
Cleveland, who was on a visit to Honolulu,
some months ago. I also met Miss Arm
strong, whom your son introduced. I send
you the Enquirer, giving an account of the
closing Aercises of the " Centennial." I
saw the grand fire-works from the top of the
Main Building, where we had secured seats.
I thought it was very good in the English
man Broek to make such a display to cele
brate our Independence. They were worthy
of the nation from which we sprung. I felt
proud of our mother country, when I looked
on the rare and beautiful exhibits, she sent
to honor our Centennial,—indeed all nations
brought their gifts, and it would properly be
called a " World's Fair." 1 can only say
with Esther : " the half had not been told
me," and that I felt thankful for the oppor
tunity of seeing and studying the works of
Art and Nature and Science, by which I
was surrounded."
Another correspondent exclaims :
" What shall I say about the Centennial ?
I feel so powerless to say anything at all,
and feel that by my silence, I shall probably
be far more eloquent than by any words I
can use. It was so overwhelmingly grand,
and I felt so exceedingly unimportant, that 1
wanted to keep just as quiet as possible. No
one word more completely conveys my
feelings than satisfaction, and that of
the most thorough type. No poor wave-
tossed voyager ever heralded with more
joy the sight of land than I did the
birds, and corals, and welcoming home-
objects which had each a special greet
ing for me in the midst of this strange new
world of sights and sounds. 1 fairly learned
to love that dear little nook, which seemed
to carry me thousands of miles away, as the
Magic Carpet might have done, which we
read about in the Arabian Nights. Certainly,
we Hawaiians have reason to be proud of
the way in which our little kingdom has
been represented. Mr. Hitchcock was ex
ceedingly kind and cordial, and made it very
agreeable for me. I scarcely ever was in
the room for a few moments but that I met
some one from the islands, or who had been
there.
" I spent six or seven full days on the
grounds, and the most of the time the weather
was perfect. The first day or two I went
systematically, but the grandeurof the whole

been around the world in less than " eighty
days."
" The Main Building is on- the whole the
most complete and satisfactory. There is a
symmetry and perfection there, which I
think you miss to a certain extent in the
other buildings. You pass from one country
to another, in regular order and can compare
with ease the different products. It is. mar
vellous the sensations which you experience
in passing from one side of some tapestried
barrier to another. You step from one at
mosphere into another, now you are in Japan,
now in Egypt ; South America, is left for
Africa ; Italy for Norway and Sweden.
I spent a portion of an afternoon with
friends visiting China and Japan. Then
they went to Italy and I to Australia,
and we arranged to meet again in Nor
way, but in some way or other we
missed each other and never met again.
You are jostled by all the peoples of the
earth—nations come and go as you. ad
vance—the centuries seem as nothing,
viewed from your elevated stand-point.
One's thoughts are full of rare old bronzes of
marvelous carvings ; curious and dainty work
in precious stones ; bales of carpetings and
cloths, looms of silks and laces ; all these
overlaying ponderous foundations of iron and
stone, built up by patient, toiling, busy men.
You are in a dream where color and form
run riot. You feel there is too much and
you are glad of the crowd which brings you
down to the common level again, and such
a crowd ! The numbers of visitors on the
Centennial grounds are enormous. In many
of the buildings, it is almost impossible to
make your way around. But if you lose a
little here and there, it is more than com
pensated for by the wonderful sights around
you. I think 1 enjoyed the crowd more
than anything else ! It was so exceedingly
interesting to note the kind, earnest, amused,
wondering faces about you, stretching off
without end. Every one seemed happily
bent on having a good time.
I was very much interested in the Art
Building. I am not enough of a critic to be
on the lookout for flaws and faults, but enjoy
intensely whatever pleases me. There was
one place in the American section of Monu
mental Hall where I was much impressed
by two pictures. One end of the room was
covered with that gigantic, painfully real
picture of Rothennal's, the battle of Gettys
burg. It is exceedingly painful ,in its
realism. Near that hangs a small painting
by a San Francisco artist, Rosenthal, which
created such a furore at the time it was
first exhibited. I believe many find much
fault with it, but I have never been more im
pressed with any painting than with this.
Turning from the grim and gory battle piece
to the peace and solemn quiet of " Elaine,"
touched with the light of the coming morn
ing, was like passing from the fury of the
storm into the stillness of the calm. There
was another section in the English Depart
ment where I saw two pictures of which I
had often heard, by Benjamin West, " The
Death of Wolfe " and " Christ Blessing
Little Children ;" but the theme is endless.
In Machinery Hall I was completely lost.
I wandered pitiably hither and thither, and
longed for* some sensible and practical per
son to set me right. I saw a great deal
however that was 'wonderful and interesting,
especially the grand and sublime Corliss
engine. Then there are " Agricultural
Hall," " Horticultural Hall," " Government
Building," " State Buildings," etc., but their
name is legion. I am glad I have had an
opportunity to see the greatest wonder of
the age. Since I left I find it looms up
grander than ever, just as Niagara does the
longer you gaze.
But never did or shall poet, author or
painter more fully, clearly and concisely
convey an idea of its marvelous and stupen
dous character than did that girl whose
name is unknown to the world, but whose
note finds a response in every visitor's heart,
** Dear mother, .
"Oh ! oh !! oh !!! oh !!!! oh !!!!!
«' Yours truly."
Ceremonies of the Closing Day.
Philadelphia, Nov. 10.—The ceremony
of closing the exhibition was begun this
morning with a federal salute of thirteen
guns. A little after one o'clock the city
troops entered the building, and proceeding
to the main hall formed a hollow square
about the platform erected at the north end.
A few moments after two o'clock President
Grant arrived, and was greeted with hearty
applause as he ascended the platform. , The
orchestra then performed Wagner's " Inau
guration March." The invocation was then
delivered by Rev. Jas. A. Seiss of Philadel
phia.
Addresses were also delivered by Hon. A.
T. Goshorn and Gen. Hawley, the orchestra
performing Beethoven's fifth symphony and
the chorus singing the Hallelujah Chorus
from the Messiah between the speeches.
After the enthusiasm had subsided General
Hawley announced that the president of the
United States would give a telegraphic sig
nal for the stopping of the great Corliss en
gine, and at the same moment would
announce the close of the exhibition. Pres
ident Grant accordingly rose and gave the
required signal by a wave of his left hand,
apcom'panying the act with this declaration :
" 1 declare the centennial international exhi
bition of 1876 closed." Simultaneously
with the utterance of the official announce
ment it was instantly communicated by tele
graph directly to London.
All present here united in singing the
Doxology, the chorus and orchestra joining.
As the last echoes died away the audience
quietly dispersed.
 T H K
Rev- Joseph Cook.
Some months ago, we read a very able
and remarkable article in the American
Bibliotheea Sacra, entitled, " Decline of
Rationalism in German Universities," by
Josenh Cook, A. M. of Boston. Having
never previously heard of this writer, as
this article was so very thorough and
scholarly we made enquiries, when in the
U. S. respecting the writer, and learned that
he was a graduate of Yale College and
Andover theological seminary and was a
Congregational orthodox minister of the
gospel, ^e also learned that he had spent
several years in Germany and among the
learned man of Europe, and now was a
preacher and lecturer, at large. While
passing through Norwich, Ct., we heard
him preach a remarkable sermon, upon
"Conscience" and again heard him speak
at the Tremont Temple in Boston. Jt
appears that his lectures have created a
profound interest in Boston, and are now
the ' principal topic of discussion, in that
Athens of America, where there are so
many active minds. We are indebted to
Judge Austin, for copies of the Boston.
Daily Advertiser, containing a full report
of these lectures, the subject—Does Death
Mid All?
In the lectures, Mr. Cook, evinces talents
of a high order and extensive research.
Those believing in Huxley, Darwin and
writers of that class, have met with a man
not afraid to meet them upon their own
ground and discuss the absurdity of the
theory of Materialists. If this is not the
"war of the giants," yet it is a war where
men keen, subtle, philosophical, and well-
read, are giving and taking blows, and woe-
betide the smaller combatants who thrust
themselves into the arena. Scarcely a hall,
sufficiently large, can be found in Boston, to
accommodate the crowds, who are so eager
to hear Mr. Cook. Mr. Austin thus writes
us under date of November 27th :
"We have been attending the lectures of
Joseph Cook (whom you spoke to me of
when in Boston) and like them much. I
sent you the two last lectures ' Does Death
End All?" I shall not believe in Evolution
until the chasm between the animate and
inanimate, shall be satisfactorily bridged
over.

Heb. xli: 1 * 2.
Raise thine eye, Christian, grovel here no longer
'Mid these low scenes unworthy of thy nature;
l.o clouds of witnesses wonder at thy folly,
Gazing upon thee.
Thy sainted mother, 'mid that throng celestial,
Fain would address thee, speaking to thy spirit
Words that would wake thee from thy siulul torpor,
Words Irsught with meaoing-
Cast from thee quickly every sin's incumbrance;
Up, and he girded, run the race celestial;
Lo the rich prise, a crown of fndeless glory
Urges thee onward.
Scan thou the path that Jesus trod before thee;
Look to the Savior,—author of salvation,
Btrength he will give to render thee victorious,
Light from his tootsteps marks the path to glory,—
Narrow but pleasant.
Let thy affections rest on things supernal-,
Earth's richest treasures are unworthy, transient;
That heaveuly good unfading and eternal
Shines bright before thee.
Years urge thee onward in their rapid c
'Mid worldly pleasures cheating, evanescent,
'Mid cheering prospects doomed to disappointment,—
Mixed good and evit.
Brief is the period of thine earthly trial;
Strong the inducement to thy faithful working,
Christ's love constraining, holiest of motives,—
Uost thou not feel it ?
Happy to thee the new year now commencing,
Killed may it be with ministries of mercy,
And the assurance of the benediclion,
" Come faithful servant,
Enter the kingdom fitted for thy dwelling,"
Where the redeemed, in blessedness unending,
Joy in the presence uf the loving Savior,
Singing his praises.

What is the Gospel?
This question is asked-, but not answered
in the last issue of the Friend. The gospel
is glad tidings. To the shepherds of Beth
lehem the angel brought the gospel of great
joy, when he announced that a Savior was
born, who is Christ the Lord. The gospel
is " the plan of redemption through Christ,
comprising all its doctrines, precepts, prom
ises and privileges." Its motives are vari
ous, adapted to draw and to move all classes
of the sinful children of men. To the weary
and heavy laden, rest is offered. This offer
is to the wicked, who are like the troubled
sea that cannot rest. Jehovah says, " I
have loved thee with an everlasting love ;
therefore with loving kindness have I drawn
thee." And the Savior said, "And I, if I be
lifted up from the earth,' will draw all men
unto me." But there are those who will
not be influenced by the loving kindness of
their heavenly Father,—who refuse to yield
to this drawing. For such the gospel has
another motive, the faithful announcement
of the terrible consequence of persistence in
unbelief. Thus said the Savior to the Jews
who rejected him, " There shall be weeping
and gnashing of teeth, when yc shall see

spend much time there. Here is a famous
picture of Calvin. What an intense face !
The very idea! of a reformer.
On our return, called at La Chatelaine. It
is also called the " Institute Thudichum." It
is situated about one mile from the main
streets of Geneva, though the city itself
comes very near. On all sides are situated
beautiful private residences, with wide
spreading lawns and grand old trees, some
times covered with ivy. Mt. Blanc and
Lake Letnan are to be seen on one side, the
J urns on the other and the city lies at our
feet. Nothing could be finer than the situa
tion. The building was completed last July.
It is fully as large as the Queen's Hospital,
and can be seen from almost every point in
the country round about.
Mr. Thudichum, a pleasant German gen
tleman, has been teaching for many years in
Geneva, but lately conceived the idea of
starting a school on a grand scale which
should be the finest in Switzerland and per
haps in Central Europe. No expense has
been spared. The reception rooms, large
and spacious, are elegantly fitted up, and
overlook the city. There are gymnastic and
billiard rooms. There are masters in every
language which is desired, and the whole
school is on the most advanced plan.— He
especially wanted an American teacher, and
invited me to accept the position, and to
come immediately. Hence here I am to re
main for the present in this magnificent in
stitution to teach English and receive
instruction in French, German and Italian.
If I had desired, I could have had a class in
Latin and Greek, but I preferred to be quite
independent of regular classes, as I wanted
the time for my own reading and study. It is
the finest place in Geneva for me, as I am
free at any moment to leave, and here I am
to remain for the present. Is not this
doing pretty well for the first day in Geneva ?
December, 20th, 1876.
I have now been some days at the Insti
tute. Mr. Thudichum is a most delightful
gentleman. French is the prevailing lan
guage of the Institution, but nearly every
language under the sun is spoken. There
are five Athenian young gentlemen. One
of them has interested me much. He reads
to me from the Iliad. It is charming for me
to hear his modern Greek and all about
Athens and his hnme-life there. There are
also Egyptians, English, Germans, French,
and Americans—one of whom was a former
pupil of Mr. Pratt, at " Golden Gate," by
the name of Hull. He wishes to be kindly
remembered to him.
The longer I stay at the Institute the
more I like it. It is always bright and
cheerful. There is every comfort and op
portunity for improvement. It is like a
large, pleasant home. After the long jour
ney hither, the feeling of permanence is
most agreeable. It is quite superfluous for
me to say, in such an atmosphere, I nm
happy and contented.

organ. The Rev. Dr. Bacon lately resigned
active duties as Pastor, but the churchy goes
on as ever. The children were gathered
and classes soon fprmed. Among the pleas
ant people whom I met here were the Rev.
Dr. and Mrs. Stevens. He has been a promi
nent worker in the Methodist Church and
editor of several of their leading papers at
different times. They are warm-hearted
Christian people. There were also present,
the Misses Olmsteads, interesting young
ladies from New York; Mrs. McKay, friend
of Dr. Storrs, and Mrs. Doremus, and Miss
Miller, a friend and fellow-worker with Mr.
Mondy; she has but recently returned from
Palestine. Then there are many more of
whom I can tell you at another time. Some
how it makes me think of Honolulu, every
one is so cordial, and there is a way of
adopting you right into the circle which
makes you feel that you have always been
with them — that is charming. The Sabbath
School is most interesting. They put me in
as superintendent, as there really was no one
else. I wish you could have seen the three
dear little boys whom I had to teach this
first Sunday, and who nearly screamed with
delight ivhen 1 hinted to them that some
week-day I would talk to them about Haw
aiian Postage Stamps.—The sermon, by a
Baptist Clergyman, was very good.
In the evening went down to No. 10 Rue
Bonivard, where the Americans gather for a
prayer-meeting, or some other appropriate
exercise. This particular evening Mr. Bacon
gave us a most interesting lecture on the
" Escalade," a famous incident in the Gene-
vese struggle for liberty, and the anniversary
of which they celebrated last week. He has
just sent to the Congregationalist an article
on this subject.
On Monday evenings the Americans hold
a little sociable. It is a pleasant and infor
mal affair.
On Saturday evening we had a most en
joyable soiree at the school. There was a
great deal of music. Our music master
plays superbly. We had recitations and a
little play by the boys, and all manner of
amusements and diversions. One very pretty
affair, called in Germany the Kinder (chil
dren's) Symphony. A number of them had
whistles, trumpets, drums and instruments
to imitate a bird, &c.,— they were so well
trained in their parts that the music was
really beautiful.
CHRISTMAS.'
The moonlight falls in soft, silvery lustre
on the snow-robed mountains to-night, and
the stars look out brightly from their heav
enly home very much' as they looked, I sup
pose, on that Christmas Eve when the angels
song was heard over the plains of Bethlehem.
Nothing could be more peaceful than the
sky which arches over Geneva and its homes
and children.
To-day I attended an immense gathering
in the Salle de la Reformation, of all the
Sabbath Schools of Geneva. There must
have been 1500 children present, and it was
a magnificent sight. There were addresses
and sweet singing. The Salle de la Re
formation has been completed within a few
years, and as its name indicates, is to com
memorate the great event which is so inter
woven with Genevese history.
Christmas morning dawned fair and radi
ant— one of those rare and wonderful
mornings when the sun heralds his coming,
by royal colors thrown on the Alps. Mt.
Blanc was clear as if cut from crystal. At 9
1 attended service at the Church of the Orato
rio, where my Genevese friends go. The
prearher, in his black Geneva gown, with
bands and under the high sounding board,
was most suggestive of Calvin. The sing
ing, free from an organ accompaniment, was
wonderfully sweet and true.
Had a stroll by the Arve. How marvel-
ously every turn I take in Switzerland brings
up Miss Bremer's book of Swiss travels
which I read with you last summer. At
three, attended an organ concert at St.
Pierre, the grand old cathedral, whose histo
ry goes back many hundreds of years; yes,
even its foundations are heathen. It was
once the temple of Apollo. Here Calvin
preached —here Catholicism yielded to the
Reformation. The Gothic arches are superb.
You can imagine better than I can tell you
how I enjoyed the Christmas music as it
floated to me through such a storied atmos
phere.
Dr. Bacon this morning gave us a most
interesting and original Christmas sermon,
and at our little gathering this evening, Dr.
Stevens talked to us in a very delightful and
suggestive manner on the " Imitation of
Christ," by Thomas A'Kempis. What a
wonderful history this little book has had !
Hallam, Renan. Wesley, and many other
believers and sceptics have written upon it;
and it has been translated into scores of lan
guages, and passed through hundreds of
editions. Madame de Stael died with it in
her hands. It is the very purest essence of
saintly love and aspiration.
While waiting for our evening service, I
attended a most interesting gathering of the
members of the Free Swiss Church. The
singing was most sweet, and the audience,
earnest and devout. It has been a Sabbaili
full of rich comfort.
To-night, as we sang Moody and Sankey
Hymns, it seemed as if the bond of brotherly
union was very strong. There were Scotch,
English and Americans. The little group
was one you would have been happy to have
met.
Our Sabbath School Christmas Tree was
a brilliant success. The children sang so
sweetly their carols. We had a fine Santa
Claus, who brought me a beautiful view of
the Castle Shillon, on Lake Leman, of
which Byvon sings. »
Agreeable as was Christmas, New Year's
has been far more brilliant. It is the great
festival of the year, and through the kindness
of my friends, I have had a rare opportunity
of seeing something of the methods of its
observance. * * * F- W. D.

Grand Eruption.
Wc have received the following from the
Rev. Mr. Coan,— (the Bishop of Volcanoes
on Hawaii :)
" We have had a magnificent eruption on
Mauna Loa. It was first seen between nine
and ten p. in. It burst out a little distance
south of Mokuavveoweo, and seemed to flow
towards Kahuku, in Kau. The stream of
light appeared to spread from twenty to
thirty miles over the mountain, and rose
grandly to the height of twenty thousand
feet towards the zenith, like the out-sprcad- who were introduced during the year.
ings of a flaming eagle.
The light was so strong as to project the
shadows of objects in our town. It seemed
to surpass in grandeur any eruption within
the past ten years. But it is cloudy on the
mountain, and all is obscured. This is a
little tantalizing, but it is in wiser hands
than ours ; so ' If the vision tarry, we wait
for it.' "
Since the above was written, a party of
sight-seers visited Hawaii, confirming this
report, and more definitely describing the
eruption, which appears to have taken place
as related, on the summit of Mauna Loa,
but to have also found a discharge of lava
under water, near Kealakckua Bay, between
one and two miles from the spot where Capt.
Cook was killed The earth is 'cracked or
seamed for miles from the shore, and steam
is issuing, while under water an eruption
has occurred, and immense quantities of
cinder or scoria is rising to the surface. The
steamer passed near the spot and brought
specimens.
Custom House Statistics.
We publish to-day the Annual Report of
Colonel Allen, Collector General of Cus
toms, for the year 1S76. The exhibit is en
couraging, showing, as it does, an increase
in the exports of domestic produce of nearly
$220,000 over the previous year. But
from this sum must be deducted the value
of the cargo of the bark American Lloyds,
which consisted of produce which had been
returned to Honolulu from San Francisco
for reshipmcnt, for the sake of avoiding
duties. In the excess of exports over im
ports amounting to $429,271,35, some al
lowance must be made for the same reason.
The imports show an increase in value of
$64,476,14 over 1875, a result which is at
tributable to the reciprocity treaty.
The decrease in the value of foreign ex
ports is in consequence, chiefly, of the des
truction of the whaling fleet, and the result
ing failure of the usual supplies of oil and
bone.

by Queen Ke-ku-pu-ohe.
(ENGL1sh PoETIC TRANsLATIoN.)
Into the empty space .
The Rpirit of the Lord
Breath’d life, and light, and grace,
By His Almighty word :
Thro'out the Universe
His pow'er divine was spread;
A law concise and terse
His voice o'er chaos shed:
His dread Omnipotence
The moveable made fast;
The Earth grew firm and dense,
The Isles arose at last!
Long time, the Heav'nly Dome
He fashion'd for His throne
Jehovah's hallow'd home
Wherein He reigns alone.
The Sun He fix’d on high,
Round which the Earth revolves;
None but His Godly eye
Creation’s myst'ry solves!
Wondrous His works have been!
No human tongue yet told
How God's own hands unseen
The Universe uphold!1

I have attended recently two very inter
esting lectures, one on Byron and the other
on Walter Scott. Last Thursday evening
I spent very pleasantly at Madame Merle
P'Aubigne's. She is a most cordial and
warm-hearted woman, the second wife of
the historian. She is one of those persons
whom you love at first sight. Her pleasant
face looks out at you most brightly from
under her soft widow's cap. She has four
children, two sons and two daughters. The
old home of D'Aubigne is down on the shore
of the lake, and there the family still live.
The great arm chair was drawn up by the
fire, and you felt as if he might soon come
in to take it. He died about five years ago,
hjs health continuing wonderfully good up
fo the last. He retired one Sunday even
ing, which he had spent most pleasantly
with his family, and when in the morning
he seemed so late in rising, they went to
call him, he was beyond the reach of earthly
voices, for his eyes had opened on a better
prospect, in truth he had "waked in hea
ven." Madame told me all about it in her
earnest way, of the dreadful shock to her
and yet of the joy she found in this peaceful
translation. Then she gave me many facts
about his life and writings, and many inter
esting things, but these at another time.
She assured me that I was always welcome
and that the library was always at my ser
vice. We had tea and cake passed around,
conversation on various topics, and closed
our pleasant evening together by singing
" Rock of Ages." By the way, Pasteur

collected and sent by one of Hackfeld's ves

thinking that it would be interesting to have
a connecting link between Honolulu and
this old city of Calvin. I know nothing
would please the good people better.

ROUSSEAU AND GENEVA.
History shows us that some of the great
est names which the world loves to honor,
are connected with countries which, geo
graphically, are of but limited extent. It
would seem almost as if there was some
grand compensation in this; that while to
one nation was given armies and wealth and
great commerce and wide extent of territory,
another finds its share to be a few, royally
gifted sons whose thoughts are its choice
treasures. If this is true, Switzerland should
have a foremost place in the latter class.
Somewhere Voltaire says in his brilliant
satirical way, " when I shake my wig its
powder dusts all the Republic." Yet this
little commonwealth, nestling at the base of
its mighty mountains, has furnished thought
for Europe and the world. Geneva and
FRIEND, MAY, 1877.
vicinity have been the centre where we find
its fullest manifestation and a score or more
of brilliant names meet you in looking into
the literary, scientific and religious history
of the place. Perhaps no name is more
prominent than that of that most eccentric,
incomprehensible, magnificently gifted man,
Jean Jacques Rousseau, wh^loved to style
himself a citizen of Geneva." Among
the very first objects upon which the eye of
the stranger and traveler rests on arriving in
the city, is his statue upon a small island in
the Rhone. He is represented in a sitting
posture, with one hand lifted, holding a pen
wit)} which he will soon note the thought
which is now occupying his attention. The
figure is finely draped and the conception of
the whole statue is admirable. The fine
head and forehead are distinctly empha
sized in the bronze, and the lines which give
to this thoughtful face so much expression,
the look of genius touched with a sad, wist
ful longing, tell that the artist was not un
worthy of his subject. The statue is the
work of Pradier who has achieved great
success in his art and was also a citizen of
Geneva. The Isle Rousseau marks the
point where the Rhone issues from Lake
Leman. A few trees group themselves about
the statue which stands in the centre of the
little island. Here the good people of Genev£
love to come in summer evenings, and thou
sands of visitors make this one of the places
to be noted in their tour. By day it is a
constant pleasure to watch the beautiful
white swans that come and go about it, in
the gloriously blue waters of the Rhone.
And at night when the thousand lamps of
Geneva gleam forth, you might almost fancy
the little isle turned a gondola from which
you view the fairy spectacle of Venetian
life.
There are many perhaps who would think
it a blessing to mankind if the name of
Rousseau was forgotten rather than perpetu
ated by statues and praise. Yet as time
goes on, more and more marked is seen to be
that genius which wrought such a revolution
in Europe. But in admiring its brilliant
productions, one is shocked by the moral
stain which rests upon them. A life of the
strangest experiences, of wild, extravagant
theories, dwarfed and crippled by a wretched
childhood, yet bursting forth into the most
superb poetry of expression, and capable of
noblest aspirations. In him you seem to
find a vision as of light and darkness, of
tenderest and bitterest sentiments, of worship
and blasphemy, an endless contradiction !
And whence came this strange being whom,
Sainte-Beure calls " the swallow, which an
nounced a new spring for the French
language."
He was born in Geneva in 1712 in one of
•he streets of the old town, which everybody
visits now. His father was a watch-maker
of no enviable reputation, and all Rousseau's
early life is a sad record of neglect and abuses.
He fled from Geneva, and in Turin was led
to embrace Catholicism. After this we find
him following all manner of professions, and
at last he comes to Paris where he gains
friends and assistance. A prize being offered
by the academy of Dijou for the best essay
on a given theme, Rousseau was the success
ful competitor. This was the beginning of
his literary career. His magnificent style
electrified Europe. He inaugurated new
and beneficial reforms, while at the same
time he wrought incalculable harm. His
musical language can not veil often the im
purity of the underlying thought. The
heights which he would attain in theory, are
lost sight of in practice. There is some
thing most pitiful in the sight of this splen
didly gifted soul, living in the false and
unreal world of its own creation. A very
king in intellect, and yet the chained slave
of ignoble fears, passing the years terrified
by imaginary dangers, at war with a hostile
world, finding enemies in friends, joyless,
sombre, dying with the real beauty and
sweetness of life, unfelt and untasted. Ge
neva is proud of his genius, though Rous
seau's principles found cold welcome in this
city of the Reformation. What of purity
and simplicity there is in his writings can
be traced to the influence of his native city
and its religious atmosphere. And in the
grand mountains_ and beautiful lake which
charmed his early years he found his chief
inspiration, as the Apostle of the beautiful
in the outer world, a title which ho most
justly deserves. So that it seems appropri
ate that through the years his mute statue
should sit facing the blue lake and snowy
Alps which he loved so well.
THE HOTEL DE VILLE.
This is a very interesting place to visit,
situated in the heart of the old town and
Teached by a perfect labyrinth of streets. If
the Cathedral may be regarded a? sharing in
all the religious history of Geneva, the
Hotel de Ville is equally represented in its
political annals. It is built in the Florentine
style, around a hollow square, having a very
singular passage way, extending from
the lower court to the stories above. This
is so constructed that soldiers on horseback
and carriages could ascend without difficulty.
HowTOany times in the stormy history of
the town has it been crowded with excited
citizens, hurrying to consult and deliberate
on their rights ! Here the Council ot State
now holds its session. Many documents of
the greatest importance are carefully pre
served here, and papers which testify to the
grand struggle of a brave people for the
precious boon of civil liberty. Perhaps not
the least interesting room in this building is
the one where the Alabama Court of Arbi
tration held its conferences. It is handsome
ly furnished, and remains just as it was at
the time of that most historic gathering. It
brought very vividly to mind the pictures
which I remember to have seen of the court
in session. On a fair, white marble tablet is
a statement in reference to the result of the
arbitration, which is certainly one of the
most interesting events in modern times,
proving to the world that Christian nations
could settle their difficulties'without recourse
to arms. Back of the moderator's chair is
an oil painting of Liberty, and at the other
end of the room, pictures of the Commis
sioners. Coming out of the interesting
shadows of the old Hotel de Ville, you come
imp scenes not less historic. These Euro
pean cities are crowded with memories and
incidents. Of course the wiser one is, the
richer are his discoveries. But even the

Rev. Dr. John Hall taught the people in
words of wisdom, last week. To an assem
bly of working men he laid down such
sound principles of the relations of capital
and labor as would, if heeded, preserve the
kindest of feelings between employed and
employer. . He showed the folly of making
war on capitalists, as every man is a capi

ahead of his expenses. At the funeral of a
rich man, who died by his own hand while
insane, Dr. Hall urged upon men of busi

study the laws of health, and, above all, to
set their affections supremely on things
above.

AN AFTERNOON AT COPPET, THE HOME OF
MADAME DE STAEL.
Last Saturday we made another charming
excursion, and this time to Coppet, a quiet
little town, on the shore of the lake, render
ed famous as being the home of Madame de
Stael and the literary birth-place of

admirer of this remarkably fascinating and
exqusitely written book, may some day have

rare and perfect days in the dawning beauty
of the spring time, when the sharp and stern
lines of the winter fade into soft and sweep
ing curves and the glad earth takes with
gratitude the blessed gifts of sunshine and
warmth. The air from the far off gleaming
glaciers was softened and sweetened by the
breath of violets and meadow grasses which
it had passed on its way. From our little
steamer we watched the shore with its ever
charming panorama, where natural beauty
takes on a new charm from the famous
names which are linked with the little
villages and old chateaux that grolip them

the hill, with its far-reaching vineyards, is
the elegant villa of Rothschild, more like a
palace than a summer house, and nestling
among the trees on the very edge of the
lake the dwelling of Sir Robert Peele. And
just beyond the country seat, where the sad
and unfortunate Josephine came in those
bitter days when another sat in her imperial
place. Off in the distance, where the <;hurch
spire catches the sunlight and becomes a
gleaming shaft against the sky, is Genthoa,
so dearly loved of the Genevese naturalists.
Here Bounet lived and thought and studied
and entertained his many admiring friends

passenger list. Here the Duke de Choiseul

taking for a text Christ's words, John 13:10,
“He that is washed, needeth not save to wash i.
his feet, but is clean every whit: ” the preacher
described the circumstances which occasioned this
utterance. The washing of the disciples' feet
was shown to be more than an illustration and
exemplification of Christian humility. It was
symbolical, also significant of the spiritual truth
that for Christian character and conduct we need
not only “the washing of regeneration and re
newal of the Holy Ghost,” but also daily recourse
to Christ Jesus for daily forgiveness. A true in
terpretation of the language shows a distinction
made in the text between a bath which cleanses
the whole person, and a washing of the feet,
which the customs of eastern countries made
needful very often. The cleansing power of
Christ's work and word of forgiving grace was
affirmed as freeing the soul fully and at once from
the condemning power of sin. But a further
work and way of spiritual purification was also
shown to be a fact of Christian experience. In
illustrating this lesson of the text, the preacher
told of the piece of steel converted by electricity
into a permanent magnet. This conversion did
not change the chemical constituents of the steel,
nor its visible appearance. It simply put the
the magnetized steel into new relations to the all
pervading force of electricity, perhaps by some
change in the arrangement of the ultimate parti
cles, adjusting them all according to their polar
ity. This change of relation is a permanent
change, physical science affirms; so that in view
of its reliability we say of it, “as true as the
needle to the pole.” A similar permanent
change in human character is wrought by conver
sion. A man is none the less a man, when he is
converted: if he is more of a man, it is because
he stands in new relations to the love of God,
that great attractive and controlling principle
which binds in harmony the intelligences of the
spiritual universe. We do not throw aside the
compass, though every locality has its specific
variation of the magnetic needle, swerving more
or less from the true north and south line. We
recognize the necessity of taking special pains to
secure a safe compass. We put the magnetic
needle on a pivot, so that it may move easily in
any direction: we enclose it in a box, so that it
may be shielded from atmospheric currents: we
swing it in a double-jointed case, so that in every
movement of the ' it may preserve its equil- *
1brium; we use additional special contrivances
in every vessel built of iron. But how many
Christians are there, mindful and willing to take
equal pains to secure that perfection of Christian
character, that blamelessness of Christian con
duct, for which they are personally responsible,
which the world expects to see in them? While
believing the scripture truth that “there is now
no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus,” we must not forget the scriptural limita
tion, “which walk not after the flesh, but after
the spirit.” How are you walking? ... If ie

We have here no conlinuiDg city. Tbe oft repeated admo
nition, " What thy hand fiodelh to do, do with thy mighi,"
haa been urged anew upon us during the paat year.
The messengers oi salvation, who left their homes in a dia-
tant land, and came to help us out of the deep and miry pit of
paganism, are greatly diminishing in numbers. During the
paat year four have finished their pilgrimage, and now rest in
the mansions prepared for them by our Lord :
Mrs. Lncy Thucttoa, the last of the pioneers, who found ua
in primeval darkness and paganlsmaand was spared to labor
among tlx almost three score years :
Also Mrs. E. O. llall, the wife of our* beloved Treasurer,
while he was abaent in a distant land, a co-worker with him
for more than forty years In labors to build up the Kingdom of
our Lord :
Also tbe Her. B. W. Parker, who forty-four years ago cast
in his lot with those who had come to save our people. We
miss him in our meetings, which he always attended. No
more will he cheer ua io our deliberations. One of the pillars
has been taken away from our Hawaiian Board, our Theo
logical Seminary and our churches. The Master, who does all
things well, has taken him away.
Also the Rev. C. B. Andrews, who had endeared himself to
the nation by thirty-three years of faithful labor in our
churches, in the Seminary of Lahainaluna, and especially in
female seminaries, for raising up motherB that wilt bleas the
nation.
These all have died in the faith*, they rest from their labors}
and their works do follow them. Let us who remain gird up
our loins, and work while it is called to-day, for the time it
short.

sort to bear."

brightest spots in the Gilbert group. Mr.
Kanoho and wife are faithful missionaries."
Tarawa. For more than a year no mis
sionary had been resident on this island.
Mr. G. Haina returned from Apaiang to his
old post in September last. He had visited
the church there with Rev. G. Leleo early in
the year. Several members were sus

by the church. One has since been added

Apaiang. At this island Messrs. Tay

Air. Bailey says, " The success of the train

Tarawa. Three others have charge of day
schools in as many villages on Apaiang.
The church seems to be in a good, healthy
condition, and the people generally . seem
much more respectful and decorous than
they have been. Mr. Bailey adds, " Upon
the whole, appearances are more favorable
for Apaiang now than they have ever been,
and we may hope that a great blessing will
descend upon this hitherto hard field, if the
work is continued." About 200 belong to

Of Mr. Bingham's work mention has al
ready been made. We add, that Mrs. Bing
ham is assisting in reading the proofs of the
revised Gilbert Islands New Testament, for
which book, and also for hymn books, our
late delegate says, in speaking of the work
on Marakei, there is " great demand with
no supply."
At jButaritari and Makin there are two
churches, one of which is under tbS care of
Rev. J. W. Kanoa. This church seems to
have suffered very much during the late ab
sence of its pastor. Only seven church
members are in regular standing. Mr.
Bailey says that ■' Nan Teitei, brother of the
king, sent S200 in gold per Morning Star
to £. O. Hall & Son, to purchase lumber for
a new church." The other church is at
Kuma [the north end of Butaritarij and
Makin. under the pastoral charge of Rev. R.
Maka. It is represented as in a prosperous
state; 11 persons have been admitted to the
church the past year. 59 church membersare
in regular standing Mr. Maka's health is
not good. Schools are not in a prosperous
state. This island is the most fertile of the
group.
In speaking of the whole group, our dele
gate says : "A field of 30,000 people, the
number which the Gilbert Islands are sup
posed to contain, should engage the earnest
attention of all workers for the heathen."
In our portion of the group there are— 1

MARSHALL ISLANDS.
The number of laborers in this field has
been reduced very much, but our hearts are
cheered to know that new missionaries are
about to supply the needs. Rev. E. M.
Pease, m. d. and wife have been designated
to this field by the A. B. C. F. M. to re
side at Ebon with Mr. Whitney and wife.
This is a great acquisition to the mission.
tl
Dr. and Mrs. Pease are now here ready
to go down on the Morning Star. Mr.
Kaaia and wife return now to their field.
Of Mr. Nawaa and wife mention has been
already made.
Rev B. G. Snow and wife have been com
pelled to leave the field for the present on
account of Mr. Snow's health. Mr. and
Mrs. Whitney are not strong but continue
in the work. The work on these islands
has been impeded the past year by wars and
rumors of war.
Mille, the island formerly occupied by
the late Kahelemauna and his wife (now
Mrs. Nawaa), is spoken of as the most
promising field in the Marshall Islands,
Jeremiah a licensed preacher of this group
has been ordained as pastor over the church
at Mille, 2 deacons elected by the church,
were set apart to their work by the laying on
of hands—and 23 persons received into the
church,— the chief and his wife among the
latter.
Andrew a Marshall island man, is the
teacher at Amu. The people very much
desire a Hawaiian missionary. Some 3 or
4, in the estimation of Andrew, have passed
from death into life.
On the island of Mejuro, war has reduced
the number of scholars in the schools, and
also hindered the progress of the cause.
Mr. Kekuewa, who is the Hawaiian teacher
there says, " It is a time of darkness at
Mejuro. There are 3 great impediments in
the way of the progress of the Gospel, viz :
1st, the conduct of foreigners; 2d, war; 3d,
dancing. •
Jaluti is well supplied by Rev. D. Ka-
pali. Things*look prosperous at the station.
Mr. Kapali has built a dwelling-house tor
himself. It will be remembered that there
was a severe hurricane on this island two
years ago, which did much damage to
houses, lands and trees. Capelle m Co.
have stores here, and do a large business.
Rumors of war, though there has been nu
fighting, have not helped on the work. Mr.
Kapali is not strong, but labors as he has
opportunity, and is respected by foreigners
and natives.
At Namarik, Matthew, the Marshall Is
land teacher, was ordained deacon with
power to marry. The people very much
need pastoral care. 12 persons were admit
ted to the church by baptism. This was in
former years one of the most flourishing
fields in the Marshall Islands. Here Kapali
and Kaelemakule labored with great accept
ance to the people-. There are some 60
church members on the island ( several
church members were suspended last year.
This island needs the wutchful care of a
good, energetic, pious Hawaiian minister.
Who will go to fill the place '.'
The American missionaries reside on the
island of Ebon. The training school is on
that island ; the school is doing a good work
for the Marshall Islanders. Mrs. Pease will
take part in this school. The church has
prospered under the caie of Mr. Whitney.
Rumors of war however have hindered the
progress of the work of the Lord. The
church building here is a good one. The
church members are somewhat awake,'.
There are many things to discourage in this

castle held sway over the country for miles
about. In jousts and tourneys, in battles

knights of Blonay held a corfspicuous part.
From their high vantage ground they could

Byron, who here saw everything through
that luminous haze of poetic feeling, could
say of it,

Just back of Clarens is a little cemetery
where the great Vinet is buried, whose name
is one which would hallow far more this
town and fair landscape, than those of the
two poets, whose ideals and aspirations were
ever chained and fettered by the presence of
earth-born and passionate associations.

Let truth and reason reign—

Let Christ remain.
What canst thou give to help me bear my crosses,
In place of Him, my Lord ?
And what to recompense for all my losses,
And bring me sweet reward f

Thou couldst not comfort me
Like One who passed through that tear-blotted season,
In sad Getluemane.
Through all the weary, wearing hours of sorrow,
What word that thou hast said
Would make me strong to wait for some to-morrow,
When I should find my dead ?
When I am weak, and desolate, and lonely,
And prone to follow wrong :
Not thou, 0 Science—Christ, my Saviour, only

Thou art so cold, so lofty, and so distant,
Though great my need might be.

Geneva Theological Seminary,
Perhaps 1 have told you before that this
seminary was to fit and prepare young men
for the evangelical churches of Switzerland.
There is another seminary in the national
church, but the views held are rather liberal.
Through the kind introduction of Prof, de
la Harpe of the former, 1 have met the pro
fessors and students, and received a most
warm and Christian welcome. I think the
students at the New Haven Seminary would
see something of a difference between their
surroundings and those of the students here.
They have a few rooms in the rear of the
church of the Oratone, very simple and
plain. The young men seem to come from
the poorer classes, just such men as 1 fancy

teachers. The opening conference was in
an upper room which is reached by winding
stone-stairs. Here I found quite a room
full. There were present five or six profes

tured and Christian. I was especially struck
by the earnest, thoughtful yet cheerful tone
of all their remarks. The president read a
translation of a very interesting sermon by

through these bright heavenly years has
been adding the sweetness of the Saviour's
love to the righteous and just decrees of the
law. Surely his pale face in his portrait on
the wall had nothing in it of disapproval.
The first morning there was one lecture
on Exegesis, one on the history of religious
Dogma, and one on the Archaeology of the
Old Testament. I could understand very
well and am sure it will prove a most useful
exercise. I certainly shall endeavor to de

Vestiges of the Molten Globe,
as exhibited in the flgure of the earth,
Volcanic Action, and Physiography.—
By William Lowthian Green, Minister
of Foreign Affairs to the King of the
Sandwich Islands. Parti. London, 1875.
This book put into our hands to-day was
read with fascinated interest. The writer
attempts, as it seems to us with entire suc
cess, to find the law which determined the
form of the original collapsing of the hard
ened crust of the earth upon its molten inte
rior as the latter contracted by loss of heat.
Leading geological theories have long at
tributed the formation of the great mountain
chains and consequent shapes of the conti
nents to the wrinkling up of the earth's
crust upon its shrinking interior. Students
of physical geography have also been accus
tomed to note a certain marked regularity in
the forms of the continents- and the distribu
tion of land and water ; such as the broad
ening southward of the three grent oceans ;
the southward tapering of the three great
southerly continents ; and the eastward in
clination of each ; also that large masses of
land are antipodal to large masses of water.
These prominent facts and many others
are all accounted for by our author under
one general hypothesis which he has elabor
ated with a wide and careful collation of
facts. He finds the form of the collapsing
of the earth's crust to have been substantial-
! ly tetrahedral. A tetrahedron, it will be
remembered is a kind of pyramid with three
sides and a triangular base, or more accu
rately a solid with four triangular sides.
Of course the spheroidal shape of the solid
earth is understood to be but very slightly
modified in the tetrahedral direction, while
the surface of the ocean maintains, the
original spheroidal form with slight devia
tions.
This tetrahedroid shape into which the
solid crust of the earth collapsed necessarily
gives to the surface its three great shoulders
in the north temperate zone of the American
continent, the Europe- Africa continent, and
the Asiatic mass, each with their tapering
southern prolongations, the last in Austra
lia, along the three ridges of the tetrahe
droid. It has also given the apex of the
tetrahedroid in the Antarctic continent, with
its antipodal base in the depression of the
Arctic Polar Sea. Each of the continent
shoulders also has Us antipodal ocean de
pression.
A collateral and very important part of
Mr. Green's hypothesis is that of a " twin
shift of the crust." Owing to the smaller
diameter of the southern hemisphere attend
ant upon the pear shape of the globe given
by the tetrahedral collapse, that hemisphere
has tended to assume a more rapid revolu
tion upon the axis than the norihern. Hence
in the earlier and thinner stage of the crust,
the southern half shifted eastward, causing
the similar eastward inclination of the great
southerly projections of America, Africa and
Australia.
The line of cleavage from the northern
half is clearly traced along Honduras and
the Antilles, the Mediterranean, India and
Malaysia. It is marked by the cutting off
without exception at this line of every trans
verse mountain chain. Near this line also
are most of the earth's volcanoes.
This simple and beautiful hypothesis is so
completely in accordance with the great ob
vious facts of the earth's form, and so per
fectly explains them, that it seems strange
it was not long since detected. We un
hesitatingly hazard the prediction, that be
fore many years this theory in its substan
tial elements will be considered essential to
any satisfactory system of physical geo
graphy.
This volume is illustrated by admirable
colored maps and diagrams. We await with
high expectation parts 2 and 3 of this re
markable work, carrying out the bearings of
this theory upon the facts of volcanic action
and of physiography. S. E. B.

Rev. Joseph Cook's Lectures. — We
would acknowledge copies of the Boston
Adoer.tiser from J. W. Austin, Esq., in
which these lectures are officially published.
The last, No. 80, was delivered May 30th,
and on that occasion the Rev. B. G. Snow
of the Micronesian mission, was upon the
platform and offered prayer. A second
series by Mr. Cook will be commenced Octo
ber 1st, when the influence of German
thought upon America will be discussed.
The influence of the lectures is felt not only
in America, but they are republished in
England and quoted in Germany, while
they are read wherever the English lan
guage is spoken.

listened to the music of the band in the pub

eating their ices and drinking the inevitable

Heidelberg to see the splendid old castle
there, then to Worms probably, to Cologne,
and then to Elberfield, which is near at
hand. I find no difficulty whatever in trav

so complete that this Rhine journey does
not present any of the difficulties that a trip
around Hawaii would to a somewhat expe
rienced traveler.
Elberfield, Rhineland, July 24th.
1 wrote you last from Heidelberg, or just
as I was leaving Strasbourg. From thence
I came on to Heidelberg, then to Worms
and Mayence, and from there down the
Rhine to Cologne, and lastly to this pleas
ant German city of Elberfield, where I am
for the present domesticated in the family of
• the Rev. Mr. Rlanch, an English clergyman
studying German. Elberfield and Barmen
are two large manufacturing cities situated
close together in the valley of the Wupper,
a river which flows directly through the
two cities ; the surrounding country is most
beautiful, rich in woodland, fertile farms and
gardens. There is great wealth here, and
splendid public buildings, private residences
and churches abound.
In the religious world the " Wupper
Thai " or valley is especially known as be
ing the seat of the most evangelical Chris
tianity in Germany, and the clergymen here
are of the highest order. The great Dr.
Krummacher was for years settled here, and
here wrote at least a portion of his " Elijah."
Here too is the central point of the Foreign
Missions of Germany, and the training
schools of which I have spoken before. In
a week or two there is to be the great
" Fest-Woche " or anniversary, when people
gather from all parts of Germany to hear
the addresses just as, at the meeting of the
American Board. With the clergymen and
the mission people the Blanchs seem to be
on very intimate terms. I have heard Mrs.
B. speak particularly of the distinguished
Prof. Christlieb of Bonn, who spoke with
such effect at the evangelical alliance in
New York, at whose home she visits every
year.
Mr. Blanch has a beautiful fruit garden
in the vicinity of Barmen just now full of
the finest currants and raspberries. Yester
day I spent a portion of the day with him
there, in the midst of such an abundance of
SEPTEMBER,
beautiful flowers and fruit that I wish I
might have been able to share them with
you.
I shall probably remain here for several
weeks. At this season of the year, 1 find it
far more pleasant to be comfortably and
" coolly " settled than rushing round in hot
cities. The great feature of my most de
lightful trip hither was the castle at Heidel
berg, which is wonderful, and the cathedral
at Cologne, which is even more so, growing
more grand each month while the splendid
ruined castle is left to slowly crumble away.
1 was very much interested in the Luther
monument at Worms, where I stopped only
long enough to see the monument and cath
edral. The old building where Luther
uttered his famous words is now destroyed.
The Rhine is beautiful, but I must say that
my imagination had pictured something so
wonderfully fine that the reality • seemed a
little prosaic. The castles on the crags are
most picturesque, perched like birds on the
heights. We passed Bishop Halto's tower
where, legend says, the unfortunate man
was devoured by rats ; and we saw the rocks
of Leslie, where the Songs of the Sirens
drew the unwary to their doom.
The day on the Rhine was perfect, the
steamer fine, and everything most agreeable.
Bingen, Cohlentz, Bonn, we passed, and
even in this way with the aid of the guide
book, I could get some idea of them. The
cathedral of Cologne I haunted for a good
part of the time I was there. My window
at the hotel where I stayed looked out
directly on the cathedral square, and I had
fine opportunities for observation. * * *
Never before have I allowed so long a

Missionary Convention in China.—We
have received from Dr. Gulick two numbers
of the " Celestial Empire," a weekly journal
of much ability published in Shanghae,
China, containing a most interesting report
of the great missionary convention held in
that city from the 10th to the 24th of May.
More than one hundred missionaries (Eng
lish, American and German) were present,
or about one half of the whole number of
foreign Protestant missionaries in China.
These meetings were held in the Shanghae
Temperance Hall. Speeches were made,
and essays were read upon all points of
practical importance connected with the
great missionary enterprise. Among other
topics,- that of the opium question was fully
discussed. It appears that anti-opium so
cieties exist, and others are being organized.
" Dr. Edkins recommended that such so
cieties be founded at every mission center,
so as to impart from the outset a Christian
bias and tone to the movement. The extent
and prevalence of the evil were fully illus
trated. The terrible growth of the curse
1877. 75
was solemnly impressed upon all interested
in the subject : as at Soochow, where it is
estimated that there are now six or eight
opium smokers out of ten adult males : that
there are no less than five thousand opium
lamps burning in public places of resort, and
at an average of seventy cash a day spent
by each smoker there would be $2,500,000
spent annually in that city alone on opium.
Thirty years ago there were only five or six
opium dens in the city. Nineteen out of
every twenty employed in the yamens
smoked opium. The attitude to be assumed
by the Christian church towards this vice
was next discussed, and a decided opinion
was expressed by all who spoke that the
native church must be kept clear of the evil
at all costs : that on no account must the
tone of the church be levelled down to ac
commodate the vices of the people."
The subject was discussed of the support
of a native ministry :
" Dr. Gulick thought the views of the
Conference were far ahead of the views gen
erally entertained twenty-five years ago, and
detailed the evil effects produced by a too
lavish use of funds in Southern Europe.
He held that the Providence of God had
sent the Gospel to the many islands of the
sea first, in order that the church might
learn by experience how to use money, and
to exert wise efforts in the continents of In
dia and China. * * * Dr. Douglas read
a paper on the ' Inadequacy .of the present
means for the evangelization of China, and
the necessity for far greater effort and more
systematic co-operation on the part of differ
ent societies so as to occupy the whole field.'
In the course of his remarks Dr. Douglas
said there were two hundred missionaries to
about 400,000,000 people, or one to 2,000,-
000. The claims of China were equal to
the claims of all the rest of the world put
together."
Sabbath Breaking Avenged.—There is
a lesson drawn by the Presbyterian from
the horrors of the July Sabbath in Pittsburg,
when fire, robbery, bloodshed and devasta
tion raged through the town. The question
is asked with great pertinency, in view of
that day's work : " Should not the railroad
authorities of the land be admonished there
by that the money which is made by their
continual traffic on the Sabbath may be
easily destroyed on the Sabbath ? Is it not
wortn while for them to canvass the ques
tion whether the violations of the Sabbath
have not assisted to breed the very class of
men who now turn and rend them ? ' My
Lord Cardinal,' said a sorely beset queen to
her tormentor, Richelieu, ' God is a slow
paymaster—but he pays.' "
" Mark Twain " was the nom de plume
of one Capt. Isaiah Sellers, who used to
write river news over it for the New Orleans
Picayune. He died in 1863, and as he
could no longer need that signature, I laid
violent hands upon it without asking per
mission of the proprietor's remains. That
is the history of the nom de plume I bear.

[For the Friend.]
Excellency of Knowledge.
BY REV. DANIEL DOLE.
There are many kinds of knowledge,
some of them more or less useful, some in
jurious; but there is oo.e kind that is useful
in the highest degree. Paul calls it excel
lency of knowledge. It is the knowledge
of Christ Jesus our Lord. For this knowl
edge he counted all things but loss. As the
mariner in danger of. shipwreck casts his
most precious wares into the sea, in order to
save his life, so (or this knowledge, the
great apostle suffered the loss of all things,
accounting them as the merest trifles in
comparison with what he gained. What he
sacrificed was reputation, the hope of pro
motion among his people, and his chosen
friends. He not only lost them, but they
became bitter enemies.
The first act in obtaining a knowledge of
Christ must have been a great surprise. It
was to discover that he whom he had been
persecuting with the greatest rancor as an
imposter was no other than the long expect
ed Messiah, the Son of God. Was it
strange that this discovery should cause him
to tremble and to ask, "What wilt thou
have me to do ? " Having fasted and pray
ed three days, he was informed what he
should do, and he conferred not with flesh
and blood, but immediately entered upon
the great work to which he was called.
" Straightway be preached Christ in the
synagogues, that he is the Son of God : "
and he was ready lor this work, being fami
liar with the prophecies relating to the
coming of the Messiah ; and the revelation
that Jesus was the Messiah was all that he
needed in order to enter upon the work of
preaching the gospel. This knowledge was
the key that unlocked those prophecies, and
enabled him to explain and apply them.
Thus he continued " witnessing both to
small and great, saying none other things
than those which the prophets and Moses
did say should, come ; that Christ should
suffer, and that he "should be the first that
should rise from the dead, and should show
light to the people, and to the gentiles."
Acts, 25 : 22 and 23.
Having learned that Jesus was the Mes-
s'ah, he learned also his characteristics : and
one of these was his long-suffering. While
fasting and praying three days at Damascus,
he reviewed his past life, and he felt that he
had been a blasphemer and a persecutor,
and he called himself the chief of sinners.
But he obtained mercy that in him as the
chief of sinners Jesus Christ might show
forth all long-suffering. He is astonished at
the forbearance of Jesus whom he had per
secuted with implacable hatred ; and well he
might be ; for not only had his life been the lands of their nativities for reasons best
spared while " breathing out threatenings known to themselves. Referring to the nu
and slaughter against the disciples of the merous vessels which have been wrecked

rangements of toilette which have made the
Svyiss such agreeable additions to the pic
tures and sketches which have filled the
portfolios of artists wandering in their val
leys and by their lake. Occasionally you
catch glimpses of people in their national cos
tume ; a woman with her bodice brilliant
with silver chains, or another with her head
ornamented with a wide spreading bow of
ribbon, reaching out like two wings, but the
romance of the quaint and curious fancies of
the olden time is as a general thing lost un
der the bonnets and hats and dresses which
you would find anywhere among the poor
people of New York or London. The
mountains with their glittering summits, the
foamy streams, the wide reaches of the val
leys, with their endless varieties of coloring,
still remain, but you must not think that in
all other respects you are to find your roman
tic imaginings fulfilled in coming to Switzer
land. But after all, railroads, telegraphs,
perfect postal arrangements, hotels, daily
papers have their advantages, and you can
dispense with a little romance perhaps in
the midst of so much comfort. The road
from Genera to Fribourg lies through a very
beautiful country, not ever wild or grand,
but always beautiful. I was fortunate in
my day, in visiting this Catholic city, as it
was one of the most important fete days of
the year. Every store was closed but the
whole town was out in holiday costume.
All the long winding streets were converted
into avenues of freshly leaved trees, as count-,
less boughs had been cut from the groves
about the city and placed in front of nearly
every house. The effect of all this bright,
fresh summer beauty among the old houses
and springing magically from the pavements
was very beautiful. In that pleasant, in
formal way in which travellers oftentimes
make acquaintence, I joined 1 company with
a young Belgian, who, like myself, would
see all there was to be seen. He had been
in America, had spent some months in Phila
delphia, during our Exposition, and would,
if he could have staid in the country, which
seems to be a kind of constant lure to
Europeans. I must confess that I knew
very little else about Fribourg but that it
contained one of the most wonderful organs
in the world, and of course hurried off to the
Cathedral, to be informed that there was only
a bare possibility that I could hear it at all.
Having several hours of sunlight left we
devoted them to seeing the town.
Fribourg has no Lake to give it fame but
its streets run down to the swift, tawny
waters of the Sarine which winds about the
base of the town. Two beautiful suspension
bridges, spanning with one splendid leap
the valley beyond the town add wonderfully
to the landscape. Under the first the river
passes and from the second the traveler is
favored with a bird's-eye view, which amply
repays him for the walk hither. It seems as
if the very atmosphere which surrounds the
city had caught the spirit of the Fete-day,
FRIEND, OCTOBER,
so suffused is it with radiant sunlight. The
Cathedral tower rises like a guardian of the
city. Four ancient towers, loom up in the
foreground whose history perhaps dates
from that far past when Berthold of Zaehrin-
gen founded the city. A portion of the
ancient wall still remains, and about us on the
two banks are beautiful groves of trees.
There is just beyond a winding walk among
the trees out into the country from which
you have a fine view of the Moleson and its
snowy cap. A little Catholic church lies on
the way and its interior is brilliant with
flowers, and pictures and relics. Farther on
is a large crucifix bearing the dead Christ.
Passing under this ancient portal, which
may have served as an entrance to the city
in olden times, you reach a little chapel,
with an exterior like a Greek temple, " La
Chapelle de Lorette," which perches high
on the bank and is curiously interesting in
its roughly fashioned votive offerings, the
simplicity of which would be amusing, were
there not something pathetic in the spirit
which prompted their donors. After having
been so long in Geneva, I feel almost as if 1
was transported into some different world, as
1 meet these reminders of superstition and
Catholicism on every hand. The great wave
of the reformation seems to have left "un
harmed its saints, crucifixes, relics and sta
tues and its peculiar middle age atmosphere.
Our way leads us back past the cafes where
the men are gathered for their afternoon's
amusement, and through quiet streets, wind
ing up to the public Place, with its statue of
Pere Girard, one of the men, the memory
of whose goodness still survives. At one
side is a grand linden tree, still putting forth
its leaves in its old age, though one would
have said that long ago it was entitled to a
rest and perfect freedom from effort. For
the story runs that after the battle of Morat
in 1476 a young Fribourgeois, ran the long
distance to announce to his fellow citizens
the result of the battle, but could only shout
" Victoire " as he fell dead from exhaustion.
The branch of linden which he boft in his
hand was immediately planted and to-day
we have the sturdy growth of four hundred
years, as a silent witness to the heroic deed,
which we will hope is founded on truthful
and authentic history. Fribourg has its
famous Jesuitical seminary, now however
closed, its Hotel de Ville, but^the great at
traction is the church of St. Nicholas or
rather the organ which it contains. I fairly
haunted the cathedral for fear that possibly
I might have to go away without really
hearing a note from the pipes which lifted
themselves so. silently in the rear of the
church. But after many efftrts and in
quiries I achieved my object. The church
itself is a fine Gothic structure and its in
terior was rendered especially beautiful by
the verdant boughs which were fastened to
each stone pillar and made the nave very
bright and fete-like. A kind hearted con
cierge with a tongue running glibly in
French and German, showed me hither and
thither, the altar, and the side chapels, with
their pictures and flowers, and bones and
skulls, in cases and ornamented most pro
fusely, recalling some saint or martyr in
name if not in reality. As the twilight
gathered I came back again and in the "dim
half-lighted church waited for the music,
1 8 7 7.
whose praises have been sung by so many
travelers. And it came very full and rich
and powerful filling the church and rising
in great waves of sound to the arches above.
The organist played for about a half or
three quarters of an hour giving us in that
time four or five pieces, which enabled him
to introduce many of the remarkable effects
of which this famous- organ is capable.
The Tempest is very grand and the thunder
peals forth with a terrible reality, crashing
and resounding, and then dying away in
the distance, in the most perfect imitation of
that far off sound which is so agreeable a
change after the fierce tumult which has
preceeded it. Far above the wild, and
stormy war of the tempest, could be heard the
sweet, clear, flute-like notes of the organ,
like a hymn of peace in the midst of tumult.
It seemed almost impossible that the same
instrument could produce such utterly dif
ferent music. The human-voice is wonder
fully well imitated and after the music was
over I asked if the organist had not been
singing, as he played. Though 1 had
thought that it might be the vox humana,
yet I was scarcely prepared for anything so
remarkably real and true, rising and falling
with the sweet, melodious tenderness of
some voice in the distance, or rather as the
mingled cadence of two voices, not ever
strongly, sharply..marked but causing you to
listen hoping that the next note would
make it sure whether you were really
being deceived or not. Then the echoes
which we listened to; so soft and sweet,
that they are more like the quiet hint of
the firm strong notes which preceded them,
than any real sounds from the same instru
ment. But it is impossible for me to give
you as I would like to do the wonderful
music of this Fribourg organ,—a task as
difficult as it would be to endeavor to trans
late into plain prose the beauty of these

the Sisters of Charity ? Imagine the Re
former's feelings at this invasion of Catholic
ism ; then the cemetery where his body
lies, but unmarked by any stone. After all
it is very little that remains in the way of
material souvenirs of one who was the great
est theologian of any age. No one ever
lived who seemed so desirous of losing his
personal individuality in the realization of
ideas as he, and it would seem that his
wishes had received a fulfillment in the scar
city of objects which are connected with
memories of his daily life and in the contin
ual and marked presentation of that irresis
tible and imperial force and will, which
seem still a living power.
Of course, as every one knows Calvin
was not the founder of the reformation in
Geneva. The political and religious storms
of generations had prepared the way for this
event, and many grand and noble men had a
share in its founding; it was left to this
timid, shrinking French theologian, passion
ately devoted to his books and thoughts, to
undertake the even more difficult and deli
cate task of completing that which had al
ready been begun. No one can study the
face of Calvin, with its intense lines, its rigid,
unyielding features, its almost corpse-like
palor, and feel that it is the face of a man
to whom life was ever a holiday. So early
did great thoughts, incessant study, unbend
ing mental efforts become a part of his every
day existence that you look in vain for those
tender, care-free, sunny traits, which time
and advancing age sometimes leave un
touched in faces that have grown grave and
earnest, in the midst of trials and struggles.
So that in some unexpected moment you
catch glimpses of a joyous childhood and
youth shining through the after years. In
boyhood and youth he was already regarded
as possessing remarkable genius, and the
Catholic party was not slow to recognize this.
But with the force of his tremendous nature,
he struggled from the shadows which envel
oped him into the clear light of Gospel truth.
The history of those early. years, his school
and University life, his religious change, and
his noble stand in the face of opposition are
most graphically told by d'Aubigne in his
fascinating history. Though entering with
an intense interest into the religious ques
tions of the day, he was looking forward to
a life of scholarly seclusion, to which his
tastes so strongly led him, when one day
passing through Geneva, he was addressed
by Farel, who in the name of the Lord called
him to the work in that city. From this
time his life became one .of almost super
human effort. At one time victorious, again
in exile, attacked on all sides ; coming back
in triumph ;■ moulding, forming by the energy
of his undaunted spirit a people to the high
and lofty ideal of his convictions.
One reads in amazement the record of the
life of this man, or rather this all absorbing
flame, which seemed to glow and gather
strength while the frail and wasting body
was scarcely thought of. His house was
furnished in the scantiest and plainest man-

the sick and made the city his parish. His
correspondence was on an enormous scale,
embracing Europe in its grasp, each year
appeared one or two theological works. In
all the theological and controversial contests
in which that time was so prolific he held a
foremost position, yielding the field to no
man. He ate sparingly, his sleep was
short and he permitted himself scarcely any
exercise. In judging of the man, it is but
fair to study the great actuating principle of
his life and work—and this was devotion to
his God. He felt that silence was a crime.
That he stood in the presence of awful truths
and realities, and that as an instrument only
was he placed in the midst of a wicked
world, to do the bidding of the Almighty.
Eternal laws, divine decrees, infinite and
unchanging principles, unswerving obedi
ence, shut out from his view glimpses ot
that divine and infinite tenderness, that
fatherly and pitying love, which is equally
to be noted in our study of God's word.
He walked like some ancient prophet, smit
ing with his unrelenting scourge that which
seemed in anywise unclean, yielding to no
earthly voices ; pointing the people to those
mountain heights of stern duty and self-vic
tory, which ever loomed before his vision.
Under this unique regime, Geneva be
came the stronghold of the new faith,' the
very Rome of Protestantism. It became
the central point toward which converged
all the channels of religious thought, and from
which issued increasing streams of influence for
all Europe. It became the asylum for the perse
cuted and exiled. Scotland sent hither her
famous John Knox. " The Geneva of Calvin was
a pulpit and press." Bibles, tracts, theological
treatises carried in'every direction (he new light.
Hundreds of young evangelists drew inspiration
from the Reformer's life and teachings, and passed
on the word to other countries. The voice of the
reformation was heard in English, in German,
in French, in Italian, and in Spanish.
Luxury, revelling, intemperance were banished.
All the loose and wanton life which had gained
Buch ascendency under the rule of the Catholic
Bishops fled in dismay before this new and un
yielding purity. We see a city of the most
severe and heroic cast, living under a sway
where religion and that too of the strickest type,
was ever uppermost. Each man lived in the con
stant presence of a life to come. Each family
and individual were under the watchful aud
guardian eye of their appointed leaders. Music,
cards and dapcing were forbidden. The laws
regulated minutely the dress and apparel of each
class of citizens. All ornament in gold or silver,
all fashionable or excessive dress were laid aside.
Profanity, impurity and looseness of life found
severest punishment. Only those games calcu
lated to strengthen the body and inspire a mili
tary spirit were authorized. The day commenced
at five in the morning. The majority of the
citizens first repaired to the church. In the
afternoon the shops were oloscd and their owners
attended service. Tlio most severe and careful
frugality was manifested in the family life ; ser
vants ate with their masters and in this city by
Lake Leman we see a return to an almost Spartan
simplicity of life. But all these restrictions
seemed but to give new vigor to life and action.
The city grew from year to year ; Surely no time
has seen more splendid activity of thought and
endeavor. A College and Academy arose, with
their professors and faculties.
But it is enough in the opinion of some to
mention the name of Servetus to dissipate all
thought of what Calvin achieved. Year after
year this most painful subject is brought up and
men seem to enjoy taking the opportunity thus
afforded them of lashing the memory of the
reformer. That Calvin in this matter lacked the
gentleness and humanity which should have
characterized him, 1 think his most ardent ad
mirers will confess. For years Seiretue and be
sustained a fierce contest in reference to theo
logical differences, which was marked by any
thing but a charitable spirit. Servetus was a
man of decided ability and scrupled not to show
bis opinions.
While we would not exculpate Calvin from
fault in the stand which he took toward him, it
cannot be denied that Servetus was a most try
ing and unpleasant opponent. In those days
men threw themselves with a wild and terrible
energy into all these theological contests. They
regarded those that differed from them, as pos
sessed of the most deadly sin, and launched de
nunciation and invective and insult on tbem pro
portionately. One now regards with amazement
the libraries of this belligerent literature whicb
sprung up on subjects, which a wise and charita
ble spirit would have far more easily settled.
The glare of burning faggots and the red axe of
the executioner are a sad commentary on that
spirit of fanaticism which in the name of religion
sought to establish its claims. The world is
learning that a surer way to win men and ad
vance truth is to unfurl that banner on which is
written " Love." It is no defense to Calvin to
say that he acted as was customary in that age,
but it may be an explanation. Burdened with
the might of bis great purpose, every voice
raised against it was that of an enemy. His
greatness had its faults, and in all this matter bo
should be justly censured, so far as be forgot
that Christian spirit which should have actuated
him. The sad and painful tragedy whicb gives
the spot where Servetus was burned, a melan
choly interest, will always stand as a witness
that no one should be regarded as above the
possibility of failure while acting from human
promptings. On the other band the life and
magnificent labors of Calvin should not bo
viewed, as is quite too common, through tbe
smoke of these burning faggots. These should be
studied in their propar place, and we are sure
that no one can come away Irom this study with
out a lively sense of the greatness and earnest
purpose of this man, who Bought not bis own but
God's glory. I 8nd the longer I stay in this city
on which he has stamped the memory of his name,
that my wonder and admiration grow as I learn '
more of him.
At last even his tireless life must end and call

Death of Capt. James Smith.—This veteran ship
master,—for many years well known at these islands,
first in the whaling business and afterwards from
1851 to 1870 as connected with the line of sailing
paokets between Honolulu and San Francisco,—died
in his native city of New London, Conn., on the 19th
of August, aged 77 years and 5 months. From 1812
to 1870—a period of nearly 60 years—Capt. Smith
followed the sea, and accumulated a good deal of
money—is said to have been at his death worth about
¥60,000. As is truly remarked by the New London
paper in which we find the announcement of bis
decease, "Personally he was a man of a generous
and gonial nature, tender-hearted, charitable and
sympathetic. In bis views, either political or social,
he had* decided convictions, which no amount of
argument or persuasion could change. Positive in
all things, he suffered nothing to alter an opinion
once formed, but held to it to the last." He was
never married, and was one of a family of 12, six
boys and six girls. Of these but two are living,
Capt. Richard Smith and a sister.—P. C. Adver

EAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 10
Elberfeld, Germany, )
Aug. 21st, 1877. |
You see I am still in Elberfeld". As I
wrote you in my last, at this season of the
year I find it far more pleasant to be com
fortably and " coolly " settled than rushing
around in hot cities.
A splendid thunder storm, with abundant
rain, has cooled the air and lifted somewhat
the heavy atmosphere which has hung over
the city for some days past, and rendered
every one exceedingly hot and tired. For a
summer, this has, on the whole, been very
cool and agreeable, and we have had really
nothing to speak of in the way of heat till
of late. I had always supposed a city in
the summer must be quite intolerable, but
this German town, with its surroundings of
fields and beautiful woods, orchards and gar
dens, is almost always fresh and cool.
We are just through the week of anniver
saries here, which correspond to our meeting
of the American Board or the May meetings
in England. Here they continue one whoie
week, from Sunday to Sunday,—several dif
ferent services taking place each day. A
large numbe^of clergyman from all parts of
Germany have been present, and the crowds
'at some of the meetings have been tremend
ous. One unique feature, especially striking
to an American, is the " Coffee Meetings."
There have been a number of these. One

Nearly every seat was taken. Coffee and
" currant-bread " and butter in abundance
were served, and every one partook most
heartily. Every now and then there was a
speech from some clergyman, layman or
missionary, when people would pause and
give their attention. The gentlemen, if they
were so inclined, would quietly smoke, and
the ladies as quietly knit. It would take an
Englishman, or an American, some time to
accustom himself to these decidedly Teu

" Something is needed for variety, where
such an immense number of human statues
are introduced. Eighteen equestrian statues
will be needed to fill the niches on the front.
A single portal has fifteen life-size statues (of
from two to five figures) twenty inches high,
and so admirably done that the Scripture
scenes they represent are recognizable at
once ; besides ninety-six figures cut in bas-
rehef. In addition to all this statue-work,
the pedestals, canopies, little animals, not
over three inches long, and arabesque work,
fine as a worsted thread, are too wonderful
for description. Nothing short of a study
should be given to these grand results of
human thought and toil. All the best work,
thought, feeling, and love of centuries crys
tallized in these glorious piles. What seems
but a maze of meaningless marbles at first
glance, inarches out as the whole story of
sin, redemption, and final glory, to him who
patiently lingers to study and feel. These
men were earnest, and full of the sublime
gospel that they put into stone. Few in
those ages could read the printed page ; but
written in stone, the one object that towered
toward heaven, the first the sun kissed in
the morning, and the last on which he
smiled at night, every untaught peasant
could read " that sweet story of old." And
because we have learned other languages,
and have other pages to read, is no reason
why we should be blind to what men felt in
their hearts, slowly cut into stone, and set
up to endure. There is often more power
to stir feeling in a stone than in a page.
Each truly holds, and yet utters what feel
ing was put into it. The very gates and
stones of Jerusalem were precious to God
and his people. So is every stone over
which a human heart has brooded, till it has
been warmed into life, and made to take the
heart's meaning. How much more where

FRIEND, NOVEMBER,
Island Tourists in Oregon.
In reading the journal of the Rev. Alex
ander Mackintosh, as published in the Ad
vertiser of Oct. 20th, we were forcibly re
minded of a trip, which we made to Oregon
and California, in 1849, over twenty-eight
years ago. Sketches of our visit were pub
lished in the Friend of that year, under the
title of " A Trip from the Sandwich Islands,
to Lower Oregon and Upper California."
It was our privilege to go, as the guest of
Capt. D. Wood, commanding the U. S. Store
ship Massachusetts. This was the first
propeller in the Pacific, having originally
been built under the special supervision of
Ericson, the inventor. She was coveying
TJ. S. troops to Oregon, from around Cape
Horn.
In the October number of the Fbiend, for
1849, we find our notice of Portland runs as
follows, and we think our readers wil be in
terested in the contrast as here presented
between Portland, in 1849 and 1877 :
PORTLAND, OREGON, 1849.
" Portland.—Arrived at Portland about
12 o'clock last night, May 15, in company
with Judge Bryant, the newly appointed
Territorial Judge and Capt. Crosby. We
were rowed in a small ship's boat from Van
couver, about twenty miles, by four Indians,
and having a strong current against us, our
progress was slow. On waking this morn
ing, looked out upon the rising town of Port
land, situated fourteen miles above the junc
tion of the Williamette with the Columbia.
The town is handsomely laid out on the east
side of the river, and is well situated, having
in the rear an extensive forest and beyond
that forest, at the distance of fifteen or
twenty miles, a beautiful farming country.
The first settlement here was made in the
autumn of 1845, by Capt. Crosby and Mr.
Stark, the former, master, and the latter,
supercargo of the barque Toulon. Their
first building was a log-store, which is now.
standing; between twenty and thirty build
ings have since been erected, and others are
in progress. The house built by Capt. Crosby
is an excellent dwelling house, and cost
$5,000, and at the present time the premises
are valued at $10,000. The buildings, in
cluding store and a dwelling house, erected
by Mr. Pettegrove are substantial, and do
credit to the place. The number of inhab
itants in Portland is now about one hundred.
The site of the town is admirably selected,
being well adapted to the landing and dis
charging of vessels. I find but one vessel in
port, the O. C. Raymond, undergoing re
pairs, and belonging to Capt. Crosby. This
vessel is engaged in the lumber trade with
California, and must be doing a good business,
enabling the owner to pay the master $300,
the mate $200, and the seamen $100 per
month."—Rev. S. C. Damon, Friend,

PORTLAND, OREGON, IN 1877.
Portland is on both banks of the Willamette
River, a tributary of the Columbia, and is
about 105 miles from Astoria ; it has a popula
tion of about 15,000 inhabitants. A ferry boat,
which runs perpetually, connect* East Portland
with Portland proper. The whole country with
in range of our vision iB bounded by a densely
wooded circumference. Outside this circle the
snow-capped mountains called Mt. Hood, Mt. St.
Helens, Mt. Adams and Mt. Jepherson, lift up
their lofty heads, but they are only visible now
and then, owing to the dense smoke caused by the
burning woods. Through the centre of the cir
cle flows the river Willamette. Oo the right
bank Portland rises as it were in terraces, the
streets forming the meridians and parallels of
latitude of the sphere. Every block of buildings
and of building land is most regularly laid out.
One has only to remember the name of the lati
tudinal and meridian streets, and then the way
is easily found without the aid of compass, sex
tant, chronometer or policeman. The only diffi
culty one finds in navigation, is th rareity of the
street names being posted upon the walls—but
this no doubt is little felt by the citizens.
Very few of the old residents seem to know the
streets by their names. People are directed by
the presence or absence of a church, or of some
government building. Front Street lies along
the bank of the River Willamette, and goes from
one end of the town to the other. In this street
are situated all the principal wholesale business
houses, amoug which a resident of Honolulu can
recognize some familiar names. Corbitt and
Macleay, Allen and Lewis, McCraken & Cv.
(Hawaiian Consul.) Janian & Co. The traffic
in this busy street is ceaseless ; it would astonish
our quiet Honolulu merchants. They would, I
should think, imagine that it was perpetually
Bteamer day, and even this thought would give
them but faint idea of the business. In fact,
there is very little difference between this street
and also the next, which is called First Street,
and any Thames Street, Btackwall, Lime St. or
Broadway in the world. To give just one ex
ample of trade which I accidentally learned—t! e
average number of eggs per week which aie
brought into the wholesale house from the coun
try is twenty thousand dozen, and not unfre-
quentlv the number daily is five thousand dozen ;
not that this firm is solely in the egg line, seeing
that in one year, the same firm shipped to for
eign parts eighteen cargoes of wheat valued at
one million and a half dollars gold, and the
money turned over in one year by this said firm
was two and three-quarter millions of dollars.
Throughout the length of Front Street cars arc
constantly moving up and down. In First Street
are the principal retail stores, and these are truly
magnificent. However, there is not much differ
ence between the merchandize sold in these
grand buildings and that-in Honolulu either in
force or quality. Then the public buildings, the
Banks, the Custom House, the Post Office, the
Prison are all of beautiful stone. There arc
four banks: The British Columbia; Ladd and
Til ton ; First National Gold Bank; and the
Oregon Saving's Bank—the last named deriving
the stock principally from Scotland. Second and
Third Streets, together with the streets which
intersect them, are taken up with stores, 'both
wholesale and retail. Along Fourth Street runs
the Railway which extends about thirty miles
into the country, as far as Grove. From this
street until the town rises into the hills, the
streets are paved with wood, the sidewalks being
also of wood. And now begins the prettiest and
most picturesque part of the town. Every one
seems to vie with his neighbor as to who
shall have the neatest and most beautiful resi
dence. The one acre lots are very often wholly
taken up with one house and its surroundings.

On the calm and lovely day,
When our Btrong and noble steamer
Entered Honolulu Bay.
Just on the shore before us
The half bidden city lay,
Looking green and lovely
In the light of coming day.
Behind the peaceful valley
As if to guard it, stand
Those dark and rugged mountains
Proud monarclis of the land.
But now our ship draws nearer,
And as it onward glides,
The natives crowd around it
Eager to climb its sides.
But soon we reach the city
And see to our surprise,
The rows of pretty cottages
On every hand arise.
And when we meet the welcomes
So cordially bestowed,
We leel almost at borne again
With all tbe kindness showed.
For lingering in tbe sunlight
Of this lovely sea-girt isle,

And reach our borne and cares,
We'll not forget our Island friends,
But name them in our prayers. A.

Out of ray limited European experience
there are very few places On this side the At

my rather too exuberant imagination have
been clipped more than once during the past
few months, but here every realization and
anticipation has been more than fulfilled.
Some one has written of it " next to the Al-
hambra of Grenada, the most magnificent
ruin of the middle ages." I am afraid I
shall never see the Albambra, or hear the
murmur of its fountains, except through the
medium of Irving's splendid descriptions,
but I shall never, never forget the glory of
the old " Heidelberg Schloss," its ruin but
adding to its perfect beauty, the remem
brance of which, will, I trust, live in my
thoughts and heart as greenly as does the
ivy on its walls. The castle is situated on
a wooded height just above the town, and is
centuries old. One elector after another
added to it, till it acquired huge dimensions.
Long ago, the French General Melac had it
blown up. And in 1764 the lightning came
to complete the ruin. It would seem as if
some curse had rested on its battlements.
It would scarcely be possible for me in the
compass of this letter to attempt a descrip
tion of it, and I feel as if 1 should be wholly
inadequate to do this as it should be done.
The immensity of it at first confused me, as
I came out of the narrow foot-path which I
had followed up to the avenue which runs
in its rear, and wandered about at my own
sweet will. This led me under the leafy-
sculptured portal or gateway which the elec
tor Frederick V. caused to be erected in
honor of his English wife, the Princess
Elizabeth, and into the tree-shadowed gar
den beyond, the very perfection of a place
for dreaming and love-making, then into the
great castle-court and over its heavy draw
bridge and under its raised port-cullis, and
through its huge and massive gateway.
Every step of the way has its peculiar
charm, and we would stay the sun in his
course if we could. Before us is the paved
and glistening court. How the horses' hoofs
must have rung on it, in the brave old days !
There is the Muprechts-Jiau, and there the
granite columns from Ingelheim with their
memories of Charlemagne, and there the
Friedrichs-Bau and there—but what sig
nify names in the presence of all this color
and warmth and beauty? Just see how
splendidly the golden sunshine illumines the
facades of the palaces which face and encir
cle us and warm the sculptures and statues
in their niches, and seems to find a sort of
companionship in their rich and varied
adornments. This is a terrestrial paradise
for painters. I met one, whose Scottish
birth had not checked his artistic spirit, and
who was, as perhaps some of his stern
countrymen might say, well nigh daft in
the midst of all this beauty. For the instant,
the dullest and most unimpressible of travel
lers must feel something of the throb of the
poet in him at sight of the Tower which the
French so cruelly blasted. It was a wick
edly mean thing of them to do, but have we

things leaped up to hide their nakedness.
They have crept up its sides, softening, em
bossing wiih their tangled and verdant
growth its crumbling arches, even penetrat
ing to its stony heart and in its broken and
shattered old age, giving it a tenderness and
beauty, which its proud and haughty youth
never possessed. One needs an Ariadne in
this labyrinth, or her silken-clue ! Room
after room open before you ; long winding
passages ; banqueting halls, whose only fre
scoes are those of the drifting clouds and
silver stars on the heavens above them ; un
der ground passages where waves of ferns
and mosses and trailing vines have swept in
with the years. Then up to the battlements
where the only pennants that wave in the
summer air are those which the kindly hand
of nature has unfurled, a symbol of the in
finite peace which seems to brood over these
walls. There are the chapel, the museum
with a thousand interesting relics, and after
all this splendid vision which is almost in
toxicating in its poetry and beauty, it is
well to come down to the earth again and
visit the cellar and its famous " Tun," for
the people who lived in this enchanted
palace were of the earth, earthly. Can you
imagine 49,000 gallons of wine ? Then
enclose it all in a cask, which is more like
some bloated monster than anything else,
and you have the Tun on which everybody
mounts by ladder. To obtain an idea of its
size, consider its dimensions, 32 feef long,
and 22 feet high, holding 800 hogsheads.
The circumference around the centre is 231
feet, and the diameter of the head 22 feet.
In my delight, I am keeping you very,
very long over the castle, but I forget and
live my visit over again. But just one mo
ment more for a glimpse from the " Molken-
kour," a height just above the castle and I
am done. Heidelberg lies at our feet, with
its roofs and spires and university, of whose
fame you know so well, and beyond, the long
reach of the Neckar, " the dark green Eden
world," the low-lying lands which border
on the Rhine, fertile fields, and distant for
ests, a very quiet beautiful scene. But the
morning sun is hurrying on and we must
say " good-bye " to the sunny gardens and
terraces where the good people of Heidelberg
love to come for their beer and music ; and
out from the spacious balcony, down a cool
and sloping path, into the busy life of travel
again. And yet not just as before, for I
have left my heart somewhere in your green
fastnesses, dear old castle on the banks of
the Neckar, and ever more, at mention of
your name shall breathe a grayer that you
may speak messages of beauty and tender
ness to those who shall come after, as you
did to me that rare morning in June !

The Rev. George Morris.— We are
happy to welcome, as a fellow laborer and
gospel minister, this gentleman from Cali

now absent on a tour to Hawaii and Maui.
On his return, he hopes to spend some days
in Honolulu. Something may be gathered
of the efficiency of the Order from the fol
lowing extracts from a circular published by
the Order :
" The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order
of Good Templars of tbe State of California, subor
dinate to tbe Right Worthy Grand Lodge, 1. O.
G. T., was instituted May 29th, I860, and com
prised at that time eleven subordinate lodges,
holding a membership of less than five hundred.
Since then by the employment of competent lec
turers, printing temperance literature, and other
available means, tbe principles of tbe Order have
extended and been generally embraced, until now
tbe subordinate lodges witbin this State oxceed
two hundred in number, and ten thousand in
membership. Scarcely a town of importance, or
a county witbin tbe State is without its " Lodge
of Good Templars." The Grand Lodge of Cali
fornia has special jurisdiction also over tbe State
of Nevada, and tbe Territories of Utah and Ari
zona, as also the Sandwich Islands, in each of
which Lodges of the Order have been established
and are now working.

THE GOOD TEMPLARS' HOME FOR ORPHANS.
In 1869 a capacious and elegant structure was
erected near Vallejo, in Solano County, and in
October, 1870, it was dedicated and opend under
the auspices of the Grand Lodge, and entitled the
" Good Templars' Home for Orphans." Its title
is not meant to convey any idea of exclusiveness
as to tbe class admitted to its sheltering offices.
On the contrary it is open to all ; tbe only pass
port required at its portals is to be a homeless
orphan child. Children under fourteen years of
age are recived and cared for, and ovw seventy
orphaned children are now being cared for within
its walls. Tbe buildings are sightly, capacious
aud pleasantly located. The Home is under the
general management of a Board of Trustees, and
Board of Lady Managers—the former comprising
nine gentlemen of the Order, who have charge of
the buildings, grounds, (20 acres), and financial
mattors, while the Board of Lady Managers is
composed of eight prominent lady members of tbe
Order, selected from various portions of the State,
and has charge of the internal and domestio rela
tions of the institution. Within tbe Home a

tem " of the State, is taught by two competent
teachers. Upwards of $10,000 has been ex
pended in the erection, care and maintenance of
this institution. The Good Templars of this
jurisdiction have accepted the self-imposed duty
of sustaining this "Home" gratefully, and tbe
membership is linked together in its support with
unfalterrrrg devotion.
RESULT.
The cause of tamperance has thus been promo
ted by all available and honorable means—by an
organized association of men and women within
tbe Lodge, and the youth and children within
the Temples. By tbe education of all through
the press, and from tbe platform and pulpit, aod
by tenderly caring for the children bereft of par
ents and natural guardians through the use of
intoxicating drinks and concomitant crime. Tbus
do wc claim ours to be the most powerful and
complete temperance institution ever organized.
An invitation is extended to all to " come and
join' us " and assist in this grand warfare in be
half ol truth, temperance and morality.

EDITOR' S TABLE.
Hawaiian Almanac and Annual tor 1878.—Ha
waii's Centennial, it being one hundred years since
the discovery of these Islands by Gapt. Cook. A
hand book of information on matters relating to
the Hawaiian Islands, original and selected, of
value to merchants, planters, tourists, and others.
Carefully compiled by Tbos. 0. Thrum. Fourth
year of publication.
Mr. Thrum deserves much credit for the
care and trouble which he has devoted to the
preparation of this publication. No one who
has not engaged in similar work can fully
estimate or appreciate the work, hence we
sincerely hope the public will evince their
appreciation by liberally purchasing the
Annual. The table of chronological events
is very valuable.
A Higher Law.—The drift of a discus
sion which has been carried forward of late
in our Honolulu weeklies, would lead the
reader to infer that some of the writers and
contributors imagined that if our Sabbath
Laws and marriage regulations were abro
gated or annulled, then being brought back
to Rosseau's state of nature, they might live
as they list, and do as they please. No
doubt there are men who would be glad to
witness such a triumph of sin and immoral
ity, but would it not be well for all sober-
minded and law-abiding people to keep in
mind, that there is a Higher Law? We
do not think that God and God's Law can
be thus summarily voted out of existence.
We should not suppose any one required
more convincing proof of God's government
over the world than the fearful retribution
coming down upon transgressors of God's
Moral Laws. Any one partially blind, we
should suppose, might see that the " way of
the transgressor was hard." The sad vic
tims of intemperance, lust and crime, tell the
story in language sufficiently plain to make
a sensible man take warning. To repeal the
laws relating to thesaleof intoxicatingliquors,
the Sabbath and certain other practices
would tend to foster and educate the Hood
lum element in our community, which ele
ment recently made the San Franciscans
re-organize the Vigilance Committee, as
their only . safety from anarchy, flames and
utter demoralization. We hope His Majesty
and the authorities will give this subject a
careful consideration before breaking away
from established law and traditional usage.
We trust the Higher Law is not altogether
inoperative in this kingdom. It becomes
the duty of every lover of good order, family
purity and morality to uphold the authori
ties and be careful not.to trample upon law.

Life.
“And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a
desert place, and rest awhile : for there were many coming
and going, and they had no lesiure so much as to eat.”
Mark vi. 31.
Oh for “a desert place” with only the Master's smile !
Oh for the “coming apart” with only His “rest awhile !”
Many are “coming and going” with busy and restless feet,
And the soul is hungering so, with “no lesiure so much as
to eat.”
Dear is my wealth of love for many and valued friends,
Best of the earthly gifts that a bounteous Father sends;
Pleasant the counsel sweet, and the interchange of thought,
Welcome the twilight hour with musical brightness fraught.
Dear is the work He gives in many a varied way.
Little enough in itself, yet something for every day,
Something by pen for the distant, by hand or voice for the
near,
Whether to soothe or teach, whether to aid or cheer.
Not that I lightly prize the treasure of valued friends,
Not that I turn aside from the work the Master sends,
Yet I have longed for a pause in the rush and whirl of time,
Longed for silence to fall instead of its merriest chime.
Longed for a hush to group the harmonies of thought
Round each melodious strain that the harp of life hath
caught,
And time for the fitful breeze AEolian chords to bring,
Waking the music that slept, mute in the tensionless string;
Longed for a calm to let the circles die away
That tremble over the heart, breaking the heavenly ray,
And to leave its wavering mirror true to the Star above,
Brightened and stilled to its dephts with the quiet of “perfect
love:”
Longed for a sabbath of Itfe, a time of renewing of youth,
For a full-orbed leisure to shine on the fountains of holy truth;
And to fill my chalice anew with its waters fresh and sweet,
While resting in silent love at the Master's glorious feet.
There are songs which only flow in the loneliest shades of
night,
There are flowers which cannot grow in a blaze of tropical
light
There are crystals which cannot form till the vessel be cooled
and stilled;
Crystal, and flower, and song, given as God hath willed.
There is work which cannot be done in the swell of a hurry
ing tide,
But my hand is not on the helm to turn my bark aside ;
Yet I cast a longing eye on the hidden and waveless pool,
Under the shadowing rock, currentless clear, and cool.
Well: I will wait in the crowd till He shall call me apart,
Till the silence fall which shall waken the music of mind
and heart;
Patiently wait till He give the work ofmy secret choice,
Blending the song of life with the thrill of the Master's voice.

Faith and Prayer.
Faith is the first step in a sinner's salva
tion, and prayer the second. Faith shows
us our need, and leads to prayer as its reme
dy. Faith shows the infinite fondness of
God's grace, and prayer opens the door to
receive it. Through faith and prayer we
are made the full partakers of the plenitude
of his infinite love. “God shall supply all
your need according to riches in glory by
-
Christ Jesus.”
The swearing sceptic may say: “I do
not see that the christians are any better off
than any one else, but it is because he has
not eyes to see. God leads his children to
glory in a way He sees best and not in a way
of our own.” *
SPURGEoN's OPINION of Cook's LECTUREs.
—“These are wonderful lectures. We bless
God for raising up such a champion for his
truth as Joseph Cook. Few could hunt
down Theodore Parker and all that race of
misbelievers, as Mr. Cook has done. He
has strong convictions, the courage of his
convictions, and force to support his courage.
In reasoning, the infidel party have here met
their match. We know of no other man
one-half so well qualified for the peculiar
service of exploding the pretensions of mod
ern science, as this great preacher. Some
men shrink from this spiritual wild-boar
hunting, but Mr. Cook is as happy in it as
he is expert. May his arm be strengthened
by the Lord of Hosts!”
{C^ A steady and dreadful decrease is
taking place in the population of Fiji, which
suffered so fearfully from the plague of
measles about two years ago. It is reported
that at the present time there are three
deaths to one birth.

THE STATUE OF CAPTAIN Cook.—The
Pall Mall Gazette of October 23d has the
following:—“The statue of Captain Cook,
which Mr. Woolner has so long been en
gaged upon for the government of New
South Wales, will be sent to the founders in
a few days, and we hear that it is not to be
shown to the public in this country. The
size of this statue is remarkable: it meas
the
ures 13 feet 6 inches from the feet to
crown of the head, and nearly 2 feet more to
the end of the uplifted arm. Thus, when
placed on the pedestal already provided for
its reception in Hyde Park, Sydney, the
total height above the ground will not be
less than 37 feet. The situation in Sydney
is most happily chosen, and is so elevated
that vessels, when they have entered the
Heads of Port Jackson, will be able to see
the statue in the distance as they work their
way up to Sydney. * * In looking at
the statue the impression of extraordinary
size quickly fades, and the whole figure is
thoroughly grasped at once. The attitude
is easy, yet imposing. The great navigator
has come on deck bareheaded, and has just
made out the new continent showing dimly
in the early morning sun. He is thus rep
resented in the moment of a discovery which
entitles Cook to rank immediately below
Columbus in the list of discoverers. * * not laid down in Imray's chart, and on passing to the west

The Whisper.
BY MARY N. PRESCOTT,
The birds heard it, and straightly trilled it
Through meadow and copse with a will;
Down in the woodland they whistled and shrilled it
As if they would never be still.
The brook listened, and caught the measure,
Tinkling over its bed
And kept repeating at its own sweet pleasure
Sweetest words that ever were said.
The winds themselves the burden carried,
Set to the tune of the rain
And the morning stars in their courses tarried
To echo the tender strain.
Brook, birds and winds and stars a singing
The music of the spheres,
Sweeter than your melodious ringing -
Was his whisper in my ears.
Waiting for the Snow.
BY HoWARD GLYDON.
Across the leafless land we go,
The lonely leafless land !
Whose brown breast waits the leafless snow
With its concealing hand
It lies and waits its shrouding time.
What thing is here amiss,
That Spring's delight and Summer's prime
Should come at last to this ?
Ay, Spring's delight and Summer's prime,
And Autumn's ripened fruit,
And now, at last, a dreary clime
Where every bird is mute
Is this the end-the end of all?
Must pleasure grow to pain?
Each birth foretells a funeral,
Each leaf must seek the plain :
'Tis not the end ' 'Tis but a place,
Comes after action, rest;—
So age awaits its snowy days
To whiten brow and breast.
Ah, Mother Nature, ever true !
Ah, mother ever kind :
In truth, it giveth much to do
To follow thy sweet mind.
And ever must I love thee more,
The more I find thee out;
And now I see thee fold the poor
Bear earth in white about !
Ay, hide it with thy tender hands,
As in an ermine dress;
It rest from toil at thy commands,
Yet wears new loveliness :
And with the self-same touch imprest,
Upon the brow of age
Thou leavest the snow white seal of rest–
Sufficing heritage : -Christian Union.

I drank delights from every cup;
Arts, institutions I drank up;
Athirst, I quaffed life's flowing bowls,
And slipped the flavors of all souls.
A sparkling cup remained for me,
The brimming fount of Family;
This I am still drinking,
Since, to my thinking,
Good wine beads here,
Flagons of cheer,
Nor laps the soul
In Lethe's bowl.
Wine of immortal power
Into my chalice now doth pour;
Prevailing wine,
Juice of the vine
Flavored of sods,
Vintage of gods;
Joyance benign
This wondrous wine
Ever at call;
Wine maddening none,
Wine saddening none,
Wine gladdening all.
Makes love's cup ruddier glow
Genius and grace its overflow.
I drained the drops of every cup,
Times, institutions, I drank up;
Still Beauty pours the enlivening wine,
Fills high her glass to me and mine;
Her cup of sparkling youth,
Of love first found and loyal truth :
I know, again I know,
Her fill of life and overflow.

DCSSELDORF,
Where for several weeks the people
had been on the tip-toe of expectation
in reference to the arrival of the Em
peror for the autumn manoeuvres. He had
not been to Susseldorf since tiis coronation
as Emperor, and they were accordingly most
desirous of giving iilsa. a fitting reception.
Dusseldorf is a great garrison town and has
also for many years been one of the celebrat
ed schools of German art. Nothing could
be more charming than to visit it offSn and
to see the new pictures as they are exhibit
ed. Some threp hundred artists, I think,
are now studying, though but a minority of
them are so bold as to exhibit their paintings.
Well, all of the Dusseldorf people were
determined to give the Emperor the most
artistic and fete-like welcome, and they suc
ceeded. The Emperor came with Moltke
and Manteuffel and a host of other men, but
Bismarck was not here. There was a splen
did triumphal arch near the station, and the
streets were in holiday trim with streamers
and flags of red and black and white and
triumphant with the eagle of Prussia.
The town gave him the grandest of din
ners in their principal hall, into which a
kind-hearted old concierge smuggled me to
see the decorations which were being pre
pared tor the room. There was an elaborate
bill of fare, and the rutnor is that the Em
peror, simple to severity in his diet, struck
out a large portion of it. A man who has
faced the hardships of camp-life loses his
liking for dainties. His private table would
hardly tempt an epicure. The gardens were
lighted most beautifully. It must have, been
like fairy-land. There were arbors and
avenues of jet-gas flame, and the whole
town flashed out in illumination. The
Royal party, for the Empress and others
were therev drove through the crowded
streets. Then on another evening the ar
tists of the city gave a superb entertainment,
for which they taxed their energies to the
utmost. They have a place of resort, a
house and garden, which formerly belonged
to the poet Jacobi and where Goethe used
to go. It is now their own property, and
here they invited the Emperor. The enter
tainment consisted of most elaborate tab
leaux and accompanying recitations. Differ
ent scenes illustrating epochs in German
history were presented with most conscien
tious detail. The closing piece I think was

Day after day there were milita^ par

went to Cologne where they gave him an
other illumination. So that the old war

AN EVENING WITH A PASTOB.
Herr PaBtor G would be very happy to
see us at seven in the evening, and we were
equally happy to avail ourselves of bis kind invi
tation. His home is within a stone's throw of
his church, " The Reformed," in a quiet street
quite away from the noise of the public thorough
fare. There was a kind of a bond beforehand.
The good pastor, whose hair is growing gray and
in whose face the lines are marking themselves,
was once in America many years ago and taught
some of the young Southrons Latin and French
in Kentucky and Virginia, in days when they
told him that at the north if he could teach shoe-
making it would be more profitable than the
drilling of young men in the languages. Verily,
la temps se changent. So we felt in some way
acquainted, even before he bowed us so kindly
into his home. Not a veritable German " pastor"
by birth, but from German Switzerland, having
the two-fold charm, which birth in the one land
and many years of pastoral labor in the other,
must needs impart. What a wonderful aid to
sociability and friendliness, a supper table is !
Sometimes one wonders, in thinking of the
steady, prosaic round of daily meals, in the time
thus occupied, in the satisfying oT what is to a
certain degree our grosser needs, why all this
finds a place in our economy and why instead we
were not made as " the lilies of the field " to
drink in the sun and dew. But such etberial
conjecturings and musings find a most satisfactory
answer in that brotherhood which seems quick
ened and refreshed as congenial spirits meet over
a friendly, hissing tea-urn and its appropriate
surroundings. It was a generous, fitting supper
for a man, who knovw how to use God's gifts
without abusing them, to set before friends.
There were pears, so mellow and monstrous, each
a feast in itself, that you would have thought
some happy gale had blown them from a Califor-
nian fruic farm. JBeir, Bohemian beir, and Rhine
wine for those that wanted it, and cigars if you
smoked. Our host is a faithful, hard-working,
perhaps overworked pastor in the •' Reformed
Church " and of the deepest evangelical tenden
cies, a man who once knew what it was to loose
all faith and after years of unbelief, then to feel
the return-tide of simple trust in the invisible,
come with a power and volume that floated him
high up out of the fogs into the clear sunlight.
He is one of the leading pastors of this flourish
ing, manufacturing city, and when he preaches
the church is crowded. In limes of great oppo
sition he has made himself popular by speaking
great words of truth, firing his shot, without fear
into the enemy's camp. You would think him
a man of rare culture, sitting opposite you there,
unbending a while from his countless duties and
pastoral cares, and saying many things you
would like to remember. His knowledge of He
brew would enable him to fill a professor's chair,
and with the Greek he seems fully at home, just
a little bit dogmatic perhaps, but then earnest
men are generally so. To him it is a wonder
why so many American theological students and
thinkers have felt it a privilege to sit Paul-like
at the feet of German Gamaliels, whom he thinks
have been too often " blind leaders of the blind."
With a wide range of reading in their own lan
guage, with divines who have left mines of
thought and learning, they have courted German
thought and German thinkers far too much.
Certainly America is suffering in many respects
from European free-thinking, and it would be
19
hoove her religious teachers to drink from "founts
of inspiration," in whoee waters there can be no
possible suspicion of impurity. The marvelous
Mr. Cooke who has recently flashed as a star of
the first magnitude upon our American intellect
ual and religious horizon, has a theme in his al
ready begun Boston lectures, in the handling and
development of which, he will be keenly watched
by thinking people in many parts of the world.
Does such a vast religious movement as that
which recently stirred England and Scotland to
its depths, seem a possible or likely thing in
Germany ? Our pastor, whose whole soul ii in
his work, scarcely thinks so. The cast of the
German mind is so different and what elsewhere
might charm one people by its novelty and bo
the means of leading them to holier and better
things would perhaps excite a sneer in another.
Paul never forgot that he was speaking to Athe
nians, while remembering their need as sinners.
But was not the Reformation a tremendous revi
val ? Yes, but we should never forget in study
ing its history, that tbero were political as well
as spiritual ends by some to be accomplished.
For centuries the religious life of Germany has
been so interwoven with that of the State, that it
has lost in many respects that peculiar sanctity
which it seems to possess in a people who view
the church as thoroughly disconnected from all
civd or political movements. The divided church
of Germany, to-day, (with its varied shades of
opinion ; with its professed members oftentimes
inclining towards a creed which saps at the spir
itual foundation on which Luther planted him
self so boldly ; and shadowed oftentimes by the
cloud of scepticism which envelops too frequent
ly the thought of the scholars and philosophers
of this country), seems to have wandered far
from that ideal which the founder of Christianity
set before his followers. Perhaps in this region
of country where I am now, you would find the
most marked evangelical piety of Germany, and
yet there seems a tremendous need of something
which I can in no better way express than by
the one word—warmth ! There are many of the
noblest, and most devoted people, but they have
to meet an array of radical thought of illiberal
liberalism, of even professed unbelief which tests
most truly their devotion. The Catholic Church
of Germany is Betting the Protestant a lesson of
zeal which the latter would do well to imitate.
It is a natural out-come of the turn which poli
tical affairs have taken, perhaps I should say of
a misunderstanding of a policy which was war to
the knife with Jesuitism and not with Catholic
ism. But with a readiness to construe just legis
lation as persecution which seems one of the dis
tinguishing characteristics of the Romish church,
the Catholics have rallied about their shrines and
priests. I have seen with surprise the crowded
Catholic churches, in this country of Luther,
audiences largely composed of men, who are not
as a general thing given to church going in a
country where belief and prayer seem oftentimes
to be more particularly monopolized by the
women. An out and out persecution would do
the German church an immense deal of good. It
has been so protected and fathered by the govern
ment, so settled in its outward surroundings^ that
it has hardly known the splendid stimulus of
opposition in the way that a church, poor in
earthly resources must needs do. Of the deep,
earnest spiritual life which glows in thousands of
Christian hearts no one can doubt, and the time
may come when this shall take the place of the
present formalism which while it may enshrine
the flame can never fan it to a brighter glow.
German scholars have cultivated the brain almost
abnormally and all departments of thought have
suffered from this. That a reaction should some
day take place, when the great human heart that
is in them, should make itself felt in its cry and
hunger for the Infinite Love whioh is its only-
true comfort, is something most devoutly to be
wished for by true Christian people and you may
Bay also by those who should be wise enough to
see that, doubt and scepticism are prolific in evils.
One may with reason say that the country which

22 THE
A Visitor's Observations.
BY EX-JUDGE CATON, OF ILLINOIS, AUTHOR OF
•'A SUMMER IN NORWAY," ETC.
The two months I have spent in these Isl
ands, 1 have found both pleasant and profit
able Wherever I have gone the hospitality
and kindness of the people have deeply im
pressed me and will not be forgotten. I
have traveled in many countries and visited
many places of high repute for health-
ness, but none which I think will com
pare with the Hawaiian Islands as a sanitary
resort. I have taken some pains to gather
mortuary statistics, and I think the death rate
lower than can be found in any other coun
try. Especially is this true in reference to
the children of foreigners. I will not stop
to trouble you with the figures, but will
merely say that the results are almost in
credible. Indeed the death of a child is of
rare occurrence, and the mother has little
fear that her infant will not reach the age of
puberty. Those diseases to which children
everywhere are subject occur here also, but
they are of so mild a type as to cause little
apprehension when proper care is taken.
This is equally true in the most aired and
in the most humid portions of the Islands.
In these Islands the zoologist finds a page
in natural history to study, which is no
where else afforded to so full an extent.
That is, the influence upon domesticated
animals, in their reversion to the wild state.
The influence of domestication upon wild
animals has been long the subject of interest
ing observation, but the opportunities for
counter observations have been limited
Here I find that the horse, the ox, the goat,
the hog, the dog, the cat, and in some in
stances even the sheep, among quadrupeds,
and the turkey, the peacock, and the barn
yard fowl among the birds, have all fled from
domestic control and become wild, some for
a longer time and to a much greater extent
than others. What changes have been
wrought in each in form, color, habit and
reproductive powers, by this changed condi
tion of life is a subject which I trust some
competent naturalist will investigate. I have
no doubt he will find that the tendency is a
reversion to the peculiarities of the original
parent, and I think it not improbable
that it will be found that the longer the
species has been kept in domestication, the
longer it will take to complete this reversion.
The specimens of the wild turkeys here
which I have seen already show a marked
advance towards the form and colorings of
the wild turkey of America, and which are
quite wanting in our domestic turkey, unless
they are lately descended from the wild
stock or the wild blood has lately been in
fused into the tame flock. The tendency of
FRIEND, MARCH, 18
the swine to revert to the form, color and
habit of the wild boar, is very marked'espe-
cially with the young pig which in the wild
state is striped longitudinally.
But I do not propose to discuss the sub
ject now, but only to call attention to the
facilities here afforded for its investigation
and to ask of those who have the opportu
nities, to observe whether there is a ten
dency among these domestic animals gone
wild to assume uniform colors, that is, the
individuals of a species to become colored
alike, the sexes however differing more or
less as fs usually the case in the original
wild state. We can hardly expect that suffi
cient time has elapsed to make an impres
sion on the color of the horse, the ox or the
goat, and yet it may be found that with the
ox and the goat, the black color begins to
predominate more with the wild than with
the tame, or that the black is of a deeper
shade or more pronounced on the former
than the latter.
I should be glad to speak of the observa
tions I have made of the agriculture of these
Islands, which after all is the great and lead
ing interest, and should receive every possi
ble encouragement at the hands of the gov
ernment, for therein must consist the wealth
and support of the kingdom ; but I have
already occupied more of your space than I
should have done. With many thanks for the
kindness received from all classes,—from the
king down through all graaes with whom
I have come in contact, I am, &c.
. •
Return of the "Morning Star."
It is always a source of sincere rejoicing
when our missionary vessel safely returns
from her annual trip among the Micronesian
Islands. The dangers are numerous when
a vessel is obliged to call at so many islands.
Captain Colcord has shown himself a good
and careful navigator, and we regret to learn
that he has resigned command of the Vessel.
Reports from all the stations are full of
encouragement to the friends of missions.
This is specially true of reports from Apai-
ang in the Gilbert Islands and the stations
on the Mortlocks, where native missionary
teachers from Bonabe have been laboring.
The Rev. Mr. Bingham, in his statement
of missionary operations made in the Fort
Street Church Sabbath evening, February
10th, remarked that the king and about fifty
of the inhabitants of Apaiang had forwarded
a request to the Rev. Mr. Taylor, to return
from the United States and renew his work
among them. A report had reached the
island that he had been detained in the
United States because of the unwillingness
of his wife's mother to his return. If such
was the case, the inhabitants of Apaiang in
vite her to come with her son-in-law !
Death of the Rev. P. J. Gulick and the
Rev. J. S. Green.
In our last issue a brief mention was made
of ihe death of these two aged and ven
erable missionaries. They came to the isl
ands in company on board the ship Parthian
from Boston in 182S, having left there on
the 3d November, 1827. Here they have
labored on the different islands of this group,
until the departure of Rev. Mr. Gulick for
Japan about three years ago. The ages of
these missionaries were nearly the same,—
Mr. Gulick having been born in Freehold, N.
J , March 12, 1796, and Mr. Green December
20 of the same year, in Lebanon, Ct., hence
both were about 81 years of age ; Mr. Gu
lick died in Kobe, Japan, December 8, 1S77,
and Mr. Green at Makawao, Maui, Jan
uary 5, 1878.
Both were graduates in the year 1827,
Mr. Gulick*of Princeton Tfieological Semi
nary, N. J., and Mr. C>-een of Andover Theo
logical Seminary, Mass. They married wives
the same year, the former September 5, and
the>tter September 20, 1827. Mr. Gulick
spent his missionary life mostly on Kauai,
Oahu and Molokai, while Mr. Green labored
for the most on Maui. In 1829 Mr. Green
made an exploring trip to the Northwest
Coast, also along the Californian Coast.
Boih have been earnest and faithful in their
respective fields of labor, and their memories
will long be cherished by a wide circle of
loving friends and relatives.
Opinion of the Baptists respecting the
Chinese.— In the Minutes of the Baptist
Association of Puget Sound and British
Columbia, held in Victoria September, 1877,
we find the following resolution :
"Resolved, That we recognize the para
mount Providence of God as controlling the
coming of the Chinese to our shores, and
into the households of America; that we
recognize before God no superiority of a lost
American over a lost Chinese, if there be
any difference at all between them ; and that
we understand it to be the duty of ourselves
and all other Christians, thus to rpcognize
the equality of ourselves and the Chinese
that are lost sinners before God, and joy
fully and heartily and with thanksgiving, to
embrace every opportunity which Christ by
His mighty power may give us to be his
faithful embassadors to them."
"Day Spring."—This is the name of the
missionary vessel cruising among the islands
of the New Hebride group. We would ac
knowledge the receipt of a copy of the Four
teenth Annual Report of the cruising of this
vessel, issued in Sydney, and forwarded by
the Rev. Dr. Steel. We rejoice to learn
that success attends their enterprise among
the Polynesian Islands.

book, which we omit for the want of space.
THE following is the King's Speech delivered at
the opening of the Legislative Assembly yesterday:
NoBLES AND REPRESENTATIVES: On the tenth
day of April of last year it pleased Almighty God
to take from Me by death My belovered brother
PRINCE WILLIAM PITT LELEIoHoKU, whose pron
ise of future usefulness to the nation was thus
early terminated. He had endeared himself to the
people by his intelligent interest in their welfare,
and had evinced traits of character which made
him a wise councilor, befitting his position as Heir
Apparent.
I have appointed and caused to be proclaimed
My beloved sister LYDIA KAMAKAEHA LILIUokALANI
as Heiress Apparent.
Our Treaty of Commercial Reciprocity with the
United States took effect September 9th 1876. Its
operation indicates that it will be a source of
mutual benefit, and that, as our productions in
crease with the market thus afforded for then,
our importations, not only from the United States.
but from other countries, will increase in like ,
ratio.
The effect of this Treaty upon certain articles of
the British Treaty having been called in question,
I dispatched the Hon. H. A. P. CARTER as My Envoy
Extraordinary to Great Britain, to confer with
the British Government. -
Notice has been given, under the provision of Ar
ticle 17, of My desire to terminate Article IV. of the
British Treaty, to take effect July 3rd of the present
year. Mr. Carter, who was also empowered to nego
tiate a Treaty with Germany, has not yet returned
from his mission.
The Finances of the Kingdom continue to be in a
satisfactory condition. The Report of My Minister
of Finance will show a detailed account of Receipts
and Expenditures.
The administration of Justice remains able and
impartial.
The health of My people is a subject constantly in
My mind. The recommendation of the Board of
Health to continue to enforce the measures heretofore
adopted cannot safely be neglected. I request you to
give this subjeect your earnest consideration.

watering place than when the games of
" Rouge-et-noir" and " Vignt-et-un" were at
their Eight; when the " Croupiers" raked in
the gold, and men and women from all walks
in life sought with feverish eagerness to win
something in this unnatural struggle for gain.
Weisbaden is still a favorite resort of
strangers. It is beautifully laid out, abound
ing in fine avenues and elegant rows of
houses and villas, and possesses excellent
educational advantages. Knowing how
pleasantly they are remembered by Island
friends, 1 shall be pardoned, I think, for men
tioning the names of old Honolulu residents,
whose welcome and greeting made our com
ing to Weisbaden especially agreeable. We
found Mr. and Mrs. Pfluger, with their very
interesting family, most pleasantly situated
for the winter, having left their home in
Bremen for a time. It was next to being at
home in the Islands, to spend a portion of
our New Year with friends who recalled
so pleasantly and vividly Honolulu scenes
and associations. Mr. Pfluger's oldest son
js just now performing his military duties in
the German army, belonging to the " Uhl
ans," one of the finest branches of the ser
vice, and his second son, a most agreeablp
young gentleman, has recently entered a
business house in Bremen. Quite a numer
ous younger family are still at home, and 1
trust that some day you may have the pleas
ure of welcoming them to the Islands, where
some of them were born. Mr. and Mrs. C.
A. Williams are also residing with their
childrenjn Weisbaden, for the education of
the latter, whose progress here is of a nature
to very highly recommend Weisbaden mas
ters and schools. We had the pleasure of
meeting Mrs. Williansonly, as Mr. Williams
was absent in Paris. We enjoyed a few
selections at an afternoon concert in the
long hall of the " Curraal," and then bidding
good-bye to our kind friends, we took the
train for the old imperial city of
FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAIN.

which to visit in haste seems in a certain
way a kind of sacrilege. Yet for the time
we were there we saw really a very great
deal, almost too much, perhaps. You know
there is such a thing us historic and artistic
dyspepsia, and one who thinks to devour a
city in forty-eight hours which traces its his
tory from the time of the Emperor Charle
magne to the present, must not be surprised
if the long centuries prove too much for him.
Some time 1 hope I may go again to Frank
fort, and amid its manifold memories, listen
at leisure to the varied and interesting and
sometimes tragic events of its history. The
city lies on both banks of the river which
seems now to have become almost a part of
its name,, the Main. Historically it is
especially interesting, as beinj^ the city
where most of the Emperors of the old Ger
man Empire were elected and crowned. It
has passed through various historical vicissi
tudes, until in 1866 it was captured by the
Prussians. Frankfort was the birthplace of
the greatest of German writers, Goethe.
Perhaps in coming centuries scholars will
wage fierce wars as to the real birthplace of
the author of " Faust," but at present there
is no doubt whatever. We found the old
Goethe house extremely interesting, and re
markably well preserved. You are shown
not at all the traditional dreary garret, where
is thought t» be the approptiate dwelling
place for budding genius, but on the con
trary, a most comfortable and spacious man
sion of the olden time, in an excellent state
of preservation. A number of rooms are
shown once occupied by the Goethe family,
but one is especially interested in the cham
ber where the famous writer was born and
the attic room where he composed his first
works, among which the most widely known
are " Gotz von Berlichengen" and " The
Sorrows of Weither." A number of sug
gestive mementoes and relics are still pre
served here connected with different periods
in the poet's life, the greater, or, at least, the
more interesting portion of which was spent
in Weimar and not in Frankfort.
THE JEWISH QUARTER IN FRANKFORT.
Were I a painter in search of quaint
" studies" and picturesque effects, 1 should
take my pencil and sketch-book to the street
which was formerly set apart for the Jews.
Many changes have been made in it since
the olden times, and new buildings are creep
ing in among the antique-gabled shops and
dwellings, yet enough remain to render it
peculiarly interesting. It is "bustling with
life, and most of the faces you meet are
Jewish. How much this race have had to
bear. The ancestors of these very men and
women who are looking at us from the doors
and windows, and hurrying by us on the
street, were made not so very long ago to
feel in an especial and trying manner their
separateness from other citizens, for we read
that " on Sundays and holidays this street
was closed with gates, and no Jew might
venture into any part of the town under a
heavy penalty." One in reading the recent,
accounts of the marriage of Miss de Roths
child to Earl Roseberry in England, and of
the splendid estate and enormous fortune
left her by her father, would find it difficult
to believe that the opulent family, of which
she represents one branch, came originally
from this same dingy, crowded Jewish
street. The old Rothschild Louse is No.
148 of the street, one to which I fancy some
of trie younger descendants of this family of
money kings would not care to return.
DINING IN THE "TROPICS."
The wealth of great cities and the marvel
ous taste and skill of modern florists and gar
deners are doing much to bring the beauties
of tropical growths and vegetation to coun
tries where for nearly half the year nature
doffs her mantel of green. I have seen with,
greatest pleasure and surprise the success
which have been achieved in some of the
palm and fern houses, conservatories and
winter gardens, here in Germany, where,
leaving at the entrance door chill winds and
bleak skies, you find the most wonderful and
exquisite recreations of tropic beauty im
aginable, and from a land of snow and ice
pass instantly into a world of graceful forms
and shapes, of warmth and perfume, full of
rare and delicate shades of color, and vocal
with the songs of birds. I trust the number
of such "winter gardens" for the use of all
classes will be rapidly increased. Their
value and usefulness seems to me very great
in countries where long and trying winters
must of necessity influence not only the lives
but also the characters of their inhabitants.
We found something of this kind, in Frank
fort. And as being a spot where a large
portion of the eity comes from time to time
for a little innocent recreation, I mention it
in this connection. Facing the conservatory
was a large and beautiful concert hall, filled
with tables both on the floor and in the
galleries. For the Germans, who are the
most cultivated musical people in the world,
believe in attending to their material and
esthetic cravings at the same time. Our
table, where the waiters brought our dinner,
was in a little recess, with a view into the
heart of the tropics. From a bed of the
softest, most emerald-tinted moss 1 ever saw,
rose tall, graceful palms and ferns which the
fairest of our Island glens would have no
reason to be ashamed to own. On one side
of us sat hundreds of pleasant, happy look
ing Germans, gathered in little groups and
clusters, the ladies oftentimes busy with
some hand or needle-work. From the music
gallery every now and then came to us beau
tifully executed selections from Wagner and
other eminent musical composers. On the
other side was our enchanted garden, amid
whose drooping branches and feathery fronds
and sprays the twilight and evening shadows
stole slowly and softly, until at last it faded
quite away from sight and we were left with
the music and lights within.
A FEW MORE WORDS ABOUT FRANKFORT.
The Romer is an ancient edifice with
stately rooms, in one of which the Emperors
were elected. It is now lined with historical
portraits. A very famous modern sculpture
by Dannecker, " Aridne on the Panther,"
attracts many visitors to Frankfort. It is a
female figure, partially reclining on a pan
ther, all being executed in white marble and
most exquisitely finished. The sunlight
shines through a crimson shade and pro
duces a most beautiful rose tint on the mar
ble. Frankfort possesses also a fine gallery of
paintings, but I have detained you perhaps

THE FRIEND,
JUNK 1. 1878.
Livingstone Bazaar, Edinburgh.
It will be remembered by many of our
Island community that about one year ago
an appeal was made by Miss Bird, author of
the book on our Islands, for contributions to
a Bazaar to be opened in December, 1£77, in
behalf of the Livingstone Medical Missionary
Memorial Institute. The primary object of
the Institute is training JVledical Mis
sionaries for Africa. The appeal was most
cordially responded to by contributors on
Hawaii, Oahu, Maui and Kauai. The
atticles were sent forward by Messrs. Hack-
feld & Co. without charge.
%is most gratifying to learn that the en-
terprize was in the highest degree successful.
The accompanying letter, written by Miss
Bird in San Francisco, en route to Japan,
will indicate that our Island contributions
were highly appreciated :
Grand Hotel, )
San Francisco, May 1st, 1S78. \
Dear Mr. Damon : The wretched health
which has again compelled me to try change
of scene and climate, has prevented me from
writing, as I ought to thank you and all the
friends whom you influenced for the noble
contribution sent from the Hawaiian Islands
lo the Livingstone Memorial Bazaar, and
which from the interest they excited, as well
as from the money they brought, helped to
make the bazaar the most successful ever
held in Scotland. We have realized $22,-
000, and the Hawaiian contributions sold for
$620. Before I left 1 had the pleasure of
seeing the institution opened free of debt,
with 200 patients assembling in the waiting
room daily, twenty-two medical students be
ing boarded Hnd trained there as Medical
Missionaries, and four ladies being trained to
go out as skilled rlursesto Zenanas, in India.
Is not this a noble memorial to David Liv
ingstone ? The Hawaiian things were on
view from 11 to 1 every day for a fortnight
before the Bazaar at our house, and were
visited by hundreds of people. At the Ba
zaar there was a table in the centre of the
hall with the contributions sent by the
Princess Louise at one end and the Hawaiian
articles at the other. The crush from morn
ing to night at the Hawaiian end was fear
ful. A barrier had to be erected to prevent
injury to the thinrs so great was the interest.
The things were the next greatest attraction
to the Livingstone relics there exhibited for
the first time. I should like Queen Emma
to know that her autographs sold for from $2
to $5 each. Fully 1,000 of her photos
could have been sold. The necklet of hu
man hair was bought for $40 for the Mu
seum of Science and Art. Everything sent
was sold. Please thank all the kind friends
individually from me. I sent you the Guide

glad if they could make any use of the pa

the merchant through whose liberality the

Captain Smith to thank him for the trouble
which he took in dispatching the Jhings, but

to say that it was purchased for the library
of the Free Church Theological Hall and

feel 1 cannot bear to be on the Pacific with
out paying a short visit to your beautiful
Islands and strengthening the links which
bind me to many on your shores. I keep
this hope before me, and trust that I may
realize it. If you are writing to Makaweli,
will you thank Mrs. Robinson for their kind
contribution to the bazaar. The things be
ing all curiosities of native manufacture,
brought exceptionally high prices. Will
you tell her my news, and suy that however
short my visit to the Islands may be, 1 hope
to go to Makaweli. Now 1 beg you kindly
to pardon the delay in writing. My long
and distressing illness placed it out or my

grateful. With most kind regards to Mrs.
Damon, believe me your sincere and grate
ful friend, Isabella S. Bird.

—We copy the following paragraphs
from the Livingstone Bazaar Gazette :
The Contributions from the Sandwich
Islands.—The curiosities and other articles
from the Sandwich and Micronesian Islands
contributed by Her Majesty Queen Emma
and H. R. H. the Princess Pauahi, and
others, which are upon one end of the art
table, are well worthy of a visit before the
collection is dispersed, as the various Poly
nesian arts and manufactures which they
represent are rapidiy disappearing under the
influence of civilization. There are, among
other things, a very fine specimen of tapa
cloth made from the inner bark of a species
of breadfruit, pine, grass mats and baskets,
gourd calabashes, a hat and plait made from
the stalks of the maiden hair fr-rn, three com
plete suits of clothing from Micronesia, leis
of maise and amaranth, and necklaces of nut
and shell beads, ground by hand labor.
Among the curiosities most noteworthy
are specimens of recent lava from the volcano
of Kilauea, a Hawaiian household idol, a
necklace of whale's teeth from Fiji, superbly
savage, flaying knife used at cannibal ban
quets in Fiji, some exquisite specimens of
pink branch coral, shells, chatelaines of
imosa seeds, and a primitive telephone,
f he Hawaiian " stone age" is represented by
a stone axe, eighty years old, which has been
bought for the Society of Antiquities. The
centre of attraction, however, is a necklet of
human hair, with a pendant of human thigh
bone, as worn by Kamehamcha I.» This has
been purchased for the Museum of Science
and Art. *
It is amusing to see the different ways in
which different people are affected by this
collection. Some shudder at the sight of

Mr. Editor—Dear sir : A sailor named
George Terrell (I am not sure about the
spelling of the last name) came to Ponape
with Capt. Weeks in the Kamehameha,
and was left here. He has been insane, for
some time was unable to speak a word.
For some months he has been with Mr. Ku-
bay the naturalist, and is improving. He
can now converse. He says he is from
Long Island, but we fail to learn from what
town. If his relatives, if he has any, could
in any way be informed, or he could be put
under medical care, it would be a great
blessing.
Captain Campbell of the Norman touch
ed at Ponape Jan. 6, and said he should be
back in six weeks from his cruise to the
southward. He engaged wood, and also
took with him some whaling gear and a boat
belonging to one John De Silva, a resident
here. The Captain has not been heard of
since.
We are in about usual health.
In haste, yours truly,

The Kingdom of God.
BY RICHARD C. TRENch.
I say to thee, do thou repeat
To the first man that thou dost meet
In lane, highway, or open street
That he, and we, and all neen, move
Under a canopy of love -
As broad as the blue sky above ;
That doubt and trouble, fear and pain
And anguish all are shadows vain,
That death itself shall not remain :
That if we will our Guide obey,
The dreariest path, the darkest way,
Shall issue out in heavenly day.
And we, on divers shores now cast,
Shall meet, our perilous voyages past,
All in our Father’s home at last.
And ere thou leave him, say thou this
Yet one word more: They only miss
The wininng of that final bliss
Who will not count it true that love,
Blessing, not cursing, rules above,
And that in it we live and move ;
Despite of all which seems at strifc
With blessing, all with curses rife
That this is blessing, this is life.
Annual Report of the Y. M. C. A. for
the Year commencing April, 1877, and

The total number for the eight meetings is
82, making the average for each meeting
104, which compared with last year's aver

LETTER FROM EUROPE.
A BIRD's. EYE VIEW OF THE GERMAN REICHSTAG
* OR PARLIAMENT.
BY F. W. DAMON.
In the midst of the courtly festivities came
an event of a rather different nature, but
rendered all the more striking perhaps by its
contrast to the former, namely, a speech from
the German Chancellor, Prince Bismarck, in
reference to the “Eastern Question.” I
think I had looked forward to this opportu
nity of hearing “the Great Prussian” with
as much, if not more, anticipation than to
any of the Court entertainments on the pro
gramme of the week. Bismarck is so unique good humor, which seems to characterize

done, so that, waves which would have en
gulfed some men, have been the billows
which have borne him upward and onward.
He was born in 1815, and passed a quiet
youth, going in 1832 to the University of
Gottingen, where he became "a species of
college champion—the best boxer and fencer,
drinker and rider. Of his studies it is
enough to-say that one professor declares he
never saw him at his lectures;" a state
ment of which Prince Bismarck cannot now
be especially proud. Very interesting in
connection with his University life is a letter
of his, recently published, in wlfich he speaks
of some Americnns, fellow-students with
him at Gottingen, in 1832, "John Lothrop
Motley, Mitchell C. King, and Amory
Coffin." The years following his Univer
sity life present numerous but not especially
" marked features. He attended some lec
tures in Berlin ; entered on the profession of
a German advocate; spent several years
quietly on the family estates in Pomerania.
In 1847 he was elected to the United Diet.
In this same year he was married to a lady
who is still living, the Princess Bismarck.
They have two sons and a daughter, one of
the most interesting ladies in appearance in
the Court society of Berlin. The death of
her betrothed, some years since, was a sad
loss to her. It is interesting, in connection
with the lives of great men, to think that so
many of them when they leave the arena of
public strife and party feud undergo a most
pleasing metamorphosis, and Bismarck, in
many respects, is a happy illustration of this
rule. His palace-home on the Wilhelm-
strasse is well known for its generous hos
pitality, and those who are so happy as to
meet the great statesman when he drops the
perplexing and intricate questions of state
craft, find him the most genial and agreeable
of hosts. In this connection, it may be of
interest to some to read this extract from a
letter written a number of years ago to his
wife, and which has in some way come be
fore the public. It is pleasant to see that
the man who coins such ringing, epigramatic
phrases as the following, " The battles of
this generation are to be fought out with iron
and blood !" is capable also of saying far dif
ferent things : "The day before yesterday
I went to Weisbaden and looked with a

American Review in 1817: -
Thanatopsis, or Contemplation of Death.
To him who, in the love of Nature, holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language. For his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
And eloquence of beauty; and she glides
Into his darker musings with a mild
And gentle sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart,
Go forth unto the open sky, and list
To nature's teachings, while from all around
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air
Comes a still voice—Yet a few days and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more
In all his course. Nor yet in the cold ground,
Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears,
Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist
Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim,
Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again ;
And, lost each human trace, surrendering up
Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix forever with the elements,
To be a brother to the insensible rock
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain
Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak
Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.
Yet not to thy eternal resting-place
Shalt thou retire alone; nor couldst thou wish
Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down
With patriarchs of the infant world—with kings,
The powerful of the earth—the wise, the good,
Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past,
All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills,
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun ; the vales,
Stretching in pensive quietness between ;
The venerable woods ; rivers that move
In majesty; and the complaining brooks,
That make the meadow green; and, poured round all,
Old ocean’s gray and melancholy waste,—
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun,
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread
The globe are but a handful to the tribes
That slumber in its bosom. Take the wings
Of morning, and the Barcan desert pierce;
Or lose thyself in the continuous woods
Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound
Save his own dashings; yet—the dead are there ;
And millions in those solitudes, since first
The flight of years began, have laid them down
In their last sleep—the dead reign there alone.
So shalt thou rest ; and what if thou shalt fall
Unnoticed by thc living, and no friend
Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh
When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each one, as before, will chese

MAPS ILLUSTRATIVE OF MR. L. LEWIS' GREAT MEXICAN-PACIFIC RAILWAY PROJECT
The Mexican Pacific Railway is founded upon
the following facts :
1. The bulk of the world's commerce is carried
on between Europe and Amu, and between these
two and America.
2- This commerce is carried on chiefly by sailing
ships, because sails are cheaper than steam.
3. The creation of the Suez CaDal bag not had
any influence upon the route of sailing ships, they
still contiuue to pass aruond Cape Horn and the
Cape of Good Hope.
4. The creation of a canal across Nicaragua (or
any other part of Central America) would not have
a great efiect upon the routes of sailing ships; they
could do better by continuing to follow the same
routes tis at present.
5. The reason why sailing ships avoid the Suez
Canal, and why they would avoid the Nicaragua
Canal, is, extreme difficulty of navigating to or from
them that is caused by bead winds, opposing cur
rents, culms and other great obstacles.
6- The average time of a tailing ship in traver
sing the Red Sea alone, in either direction, is forty-
fCT" Our neighbor the Pacific Commer
cial Advertiser, astonished his readers Aug.
24th by exhibiting the above maps of a grand
scheme for revolutionizing the commerce of
the world. The originator of this undertak
ing appears to be a Mr, Lewis, residing in
Penn Yan, N. Y. He proposes to make
tive dnys, and ships have been kuowu to drift help
lessly m the calms between Peru and Tebuantepcc
fifty or a hundred days, and even two hundred, or
until their crews were obliged to take to their boats
and abandon their vessels.
7. There exists, however a great natural and
pre-eminent route between Europe and Asia, via
America, and between the latter and the two former.
8 This ioute is indicated on accompanying map,
which please see and study.
9. It will be seen that the Divine Hand itself has
established for sailing ships a great natural track,
in the form of an ellipse, in each of the great oceans,
and between all the Continents.
10. This great natural truck (in the Atlantic)
has its eastern point on England and France, and its
western point upon Yucatan and British Houduras.
11. This great natural track (in the Pacific) has
its eastern point upon Mexico, and its western upon
China.
12. On both oceans sailing ships have the very
great advantage (to be found nowhere else) of
Honolulu the center of a lt publishing
house " for printing and publishing 4( works
of religious science, and also t4 to reproduce
in the original tongues those recent foreign
publications, including voyages and travels,
which are especially recommended by their
interest or information to American readers."
So far as we can assist Mr. Lewis in the
| having the winds and currents entirely and eter-
| nally in their favor, both in going and in coming.
13. And lying within the the regular trades and
the regular currents, these routes have as tremend
ous* advantages in security over all others as they
havu in facility and dispatoh.
14. The Mexican Pacitio Railway is designed to
connect, in a direct line across Mexico, these two
vast circuits of commerce.
15. The loading or unloading of a ship at either
terminus is, at the worst* the loss of a few hours of
time and an expense of $100.
16. This necessary drawback is not as one to one
hundred in comparison with the advantages of this
route over all others.
These few brief points will probably suffice to
coovince any intelligent mind that the Mexican
Pacific Railway is destined to become the World's
Highway ; the one great route of all the nations !
That it will be built has been written by God upon
the very face of nature. It is expected the road,
and the connecting lines of steamers, will earn fifty
millions per aunum.
I accomplishment of these grand schemes, by
republishing his maps, we are ready to lend
our aid. We should be only too happy to
have Mr. Lewis transfer to Honolulu his
library of 25,000 volumes. We feel almost
ready to pledge, on the part of citizens or the
Government, a library building where the
books may be safely deposited.

tumbling waves of the Baltic ; but before
leaving I wish to say a few words about the
city which has been my home for the past
six months—
BERLIN.
This city lies like a densely populated
island in the midst of a great sea-like level
plain, stretching far away to east and west,
and to the chill waters of the German ocean
and Baltic Sea. A more unpoetic situation
it would, in some respects, be difficult to
find. And yet amid the steril sands and
dreary monotony of this Brandenburg plain,
starting from a little fishing village on the
banks of the Spree as its germ, has arisen
one of the finest of modern capitals. I find
something peculiarly interesting and emi
nently suggestive and instructive in the
lesson which this cily teaches in its growth
and history,—of the possibilities of success
and victory which may result from the
steady, patient overcoming of great natural
defects and blemishes. Berlin is in the
main, essentially a modern city. There is
nothing in the way of ancient Cathedral
architecture, nor rare and quaint effects of
mediaeval lights and shadows in picturesque
streets, nor winding ways and thoroughfares
down which you walk to find in shadowy
nooks the eloquent reminders of other and
long buried centuries. All this is lacking
and to one who derives a pleasure from such
associations, it is indeed a serious lack.
But there are compensations. You would
not find here the almost unnatural and ab
normal manifestation of life, of swift and
passionate existence which is manifest in
New York or Paris, but I think I have never
been in a city where I felt so impressed by
the presence of a vigorous healthy human
ity as here, with splendid possibilities of
growth and development.
And to the student of the " living pres
ent" as well as of the historic past, this is
marvellously interesting. In endeavoring
to sketch something of Berlin for you. I
should commence by putting your hand with
mine on the very pulse itself of the city,
the point where its life and energy is most
manifest. And this is to be found in the
splendid avenue, already so familiar to you,
bearing the poetic and suggestive name
" UNTER DEN LINDEN."
Ever since I have been in Berlin I have
been desirous of photographing this famous
street for you. But now that 1 have my
little camera directed full upon it, I find that
it is no easy task. One might as well en
deavor to describe the effects of the shadows
and sunlight as they chase each other in
summer weather over a meadow, or put into
words the eloquent changes of expression
which come with varying emotions over the
human face as to give in bare words a pic
ture of this street, this ever brilliant, ani
mated " Unter den Linden." At first it
may seem rather out of the way to speak of
a crowded, busy thoroughfare as a theme
for a poet. And yet after all where could
he find a nobler inspiration? It seems al
most like some stately river, which has
given itself to the use of man. Generation
after generation sail their giant fleets upon
it, launch their countless ships of traffic, of
discovery, of war, perhaps, on its surface ;
send out painted pleasure boats to linger for
FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1 8 7 8.
a while in its brilliancy and glittering show.
And still this strangely obedient ever ready,
magical river holds its way through the
years. It reflects the lights and shadows of
every .passing moment, sleeps at times calm
ly and peacefully as a sheltered lake, and
again rages with fury and passion at some
moments when the storms of political or
national excitement sweep over its surface.
One roust be very dull, very perversely un
imaginative not to find sermons, poems, in
spiration in the words of meaning, which
come from such scenes. Some day perhaps
some one will put into poetic words, the
thoughts which must involuntarily arise
when one sees the few great, historic thor
oughfares of the world.
The Linden is not a long avenue, it does
not compare with Broadway for energy and
bustle, and many wqgld give the palm to
the Boulevards of Paris, for beauty. And
yet there is a charm, a picturesqueness, yes
I may say a positive artistic beauty about
the Linden, which Tenders it peculiarly at
tractive to the visitor and resident. As a
kind of preparation to the promenade down
the Linden, we pause for a few moments in
the Lust Garden, a large, open place,
planted with trees, shrubbery, flowers and
grass. This is one of the breathing spots of
the crowded city. Here on a sunny day
the place is studded all over with groups of
little children, with fair Teuton faces and
eyes as blue as German skies in the spring
time. On one side of the place rises the
stately Old Museum with its broad flight of
steps and its massive Ionic columns, and
gigantic wall paintings, symbolic and mytho
logical. Therej is something singularly
effective in these paintings, framed, as it
were, in the embrace of grey columns and
stone walls. I like th^ color and warmth
out in the day-light, and fresh air. It seems
a part of it. Should we once get within the
doors, so wonderfully rich are its collections I
do not know where there would be any get
ting out. However, as we are turning from
it, notice at the -entrance the two superb
equestrian statues in bronze. With one of
them very likely you may be familiar. It is
an Amazon on horseback ; a tiger has leaped
upon the horse. It is all splendid, tremen
dous action, the coming of the swift-pointed
spear through the air, the fierce grasp of the
tiger's claws in the flesh of the rearing
horse, the meeting of wild human and
animal life ! Another side of the place is
formed by the Cathedral, a most uninterest
ing and unpretending building, and still
another by the massive bulk of the Imperial
Palace of which I have told you before. In
the centre of the Lust Garten, is a large
equestrian statue of William IV., the brother
of the present Emperor. I have tarried some
little time in this open space, because it
seemed a fitting introduction to the Linden,
from which we are now separated only by a
bridge, which I find however one of the
most interesting points in the whole city.
It is ornamented with.eight noble statues by
different sculptors " Symbolizing the Life of
the Warrior !" I must not stop here to de
scribe them, but they represent different
phases in the warrior's career, from the
early days of childhood, drinking in the in
spiration of the names of the great con
querors of history, through youth learning
the use of his newly given weapons; on into
manhood and into the thick of the conflict,
ending in the upward flight of Iris, to Olym
pus, bearing to his reward the hero who has
fallen fighting at his post. They are most
beautifully executed statues, full of vigor
and animation, and I have found them a
constant source of pleasure, during the win
ter, watching them under varying lights and
circumstances, in the freshness and sweet
ness of the early morning and in the evening
when they rose into the moonlight or looked
out from the half-lighted shadows of the
night. •
But at last we stand on the avenue itself,
stretching far, far away, past long lines of
buildings, past the splendid equestrian statue
of Frederic the Great, past graceful, ver
dant rows of linden and chesnut trees to the
distant Brandenburg Gate. With the
avenue bathed in sunshine, with the flnsh
here and there of brilliant equipages, and
glitter of military uniforms and sounds cr
martial music floating down tr jou, and the
countless grouping of men and women and
children on all sides, and the presence of
noble buildings and palaces and statues it is
indeed an inspiring sight. To our right as
we commence our walk, lies the huge arse
nal, and a little further on to our left the
palace of the Crown Prince, a splendid
building, with a colnnade on one side.
Beyond the arsenal lies the Guard House,
where soldiers are always stationed. Per
haps some Koyal Carriage is coming down
the avenue. If so, you hear a loud call to
arms, the tap and roll of the drum, and see
the line formed to " present arms." Or if
it is about the hour of noon, you may pause
with the crowd in the beautiful chesnut-
grove near at hand to listen to the perfect,
military music which seems to fill the quiet
noon air with a wonderful melodious life.
Perhaps the grove is filled with troops in
faultless uniforms, and officers in glittering
costume and covered with orders and medals
are receiving and giving orders. And right
at hand is the immense university building,
directly on the avenue and so near where
we have just been listening to the music
that sometimes the brilliant strains of the
band float into the lecture rooms and almost
drown the wise words of the Professors, and
have an odd way of mixing themselves up
with Latin verse, and historic dates, and
profound and metaphysical reasoning.
There is a glorious cluster of chesnuts, just
in the rear of the university itself, which
seem a kind of grand protest against all this
brick and mortar and architecture which
have invaded the old forests which probably
once covered all this region. Nothing could
be more beautiful than the splendid majesty
of their billows of green in the freshness of
the spring time, which seem to have been
swept up from some wonderful under world,
or ocean, thrown grandly into mid-air and
there caught and held and balanced by some
mysterious force. There seems to me some
thing very fitting about the location of the
university. It stands in the busy, earnest,
bustling world, the full tide of human life
and action sweeping up to its very portal,
and yet finding a stillness, a hush and re
pose in this stately grove of trees, and in
the gardens which lie in its rear. If you
will pardon the fancy, you might imagine it

At the Paris Exposition, the United
States has been awarded a gold medal for
her educational exhibit, and the highest
award made to any educational journal of
any country has been given to the Journal
of Education, published in Boston. This
is, indeed, a great and well deserved compli
ment. The grand prize of the Exposition
has been given to Mr. Thomas A. Edison
for the most wonderful inventions of the
age. Truly we have some reason to be
proud of America. A diploma of honor has
also been awarded our country for her agri
cultural exhibit. The French Agricultural
Society offered eleven works of art as awards,
and seven of these were granted to Ameri
cans. The French have with difficulty been
made to see that our schools for the higher
education of women, as at Wellesley, Was

but the wife of the Austrian juror, it is said,
greatly helped in the matter.

soms. The flower-beds were thickly sown
with cojored lights. Over the great group
ings of flowers on the lawns were placed re
flectors with lights hidden within, which
illuminated the brilliant blossoming beds.
On the lake floated a ship of flame, being
perfectly formed of colored lights. Long
avenues of arches hung with lights in
red, in blue, in green, in white, stretched
away in all directions. A " Labyrinth," one
of the sights of the garden, wfiere you may,
in broad day-light, wander long in vain,
seeking some clue to its windings through
the leafy arbors, became doubly mysterious
at night. At every turn, long vistas of gas
jets, stretching off endlessly, faced you.
.Revolving lights, melting from blue to pur
ple, to crimson, to yellow, met and dazzled
you. At one point, the wonderful whiteness
of the electric light, of which, just now, so
much is being said, illuminated the faces of
the crowd beneath. A great palace-like
' building, with fantastic architecture, flashed
out into the night, from base to roof, one
mass of colored light. Here too, but it were
useless to weary you with mere words
which can convey so little idea of the
reality. Towards the close of the evening,
there was, to all this added, a display of fire
works, of the finest and most brilliant kind.
There was enough to entertain the people;
shows, pantomimes, and music of all kinds.
In one part of the garden they were amusing
themselves with a wild kind of sport. The
first time you engage in it with something
of fear and trembling, certainly with some
curiosity to know how it will turn out. I
never saw it anywhere but here in Denmark.
Great wooden buildings are constructed with
towers at either end, between them pass a
bridge, as it were, of wood, made with eleva
tions and depressions all along its length.
You take your seat with some friend in a
car or carriage, at one of the towers, sitting
securely and comfortably, n man, standing
behind, gives your car a push and off you go
over the undulating track, which is laid with
rails. Nothing could be wilder or more ex
citing. You go like the wind, out into space,
you scarcely know where; now up. now
down, whirling away as if some wild spirit
were drawing you. Then almost before you
have time to think, your carriage stops
peacefully in the opposite tower, and your
wild " Tarn O'Shanter " ride is over. We
went once, then again, and 1 don't know
when we should have stopped, if there had
not been so much else to see. From the
crowds that kept going all the evening, 1
should judge it was a very favorite pastime
here. You might have had your pick of
music at this Tivoli Fete. Bands were
playing on all sides, some discoursing most
excellent music. In a crowded pavilion,
Edward Strauss, from Vienna, was leading
the orchestra; filling the air with the brill
iant melodies which he and his brother have
sent all over the world. But now we must

something very pleasant in view, namely :
AN EXCURSION TO THE CASTLE OF ELSINORE.
August 16th. If you are in an incred
ulous frame of mind this lovely, sun-lit
morning, I can scarcely think you will wish
to accompany us on the trip which we take
to-day. If on the contrary you are ready to
FRIEND, DECEMBER,
believe all things, or at least are willing to
put something of a solid foundation beneath
the creations of a poet's brain, then come
with us to the old Castle of Elsinore, where
we wish to believe the Melancholy Dane,
Prince Hamlet, once lived. 1 rather like
the naive way in *rhich my Germap Guide
Book puts it, " If ever there existed a Prince
Hamlet, outside of the poet's imagination,
he lived in Jutland and died and is buried
there." We will not stop to think now
what historical sources, or authority Shakes
peare had for his immortal play, but leave
this to the commentators and critics, satis
fying ourselves with the pleasant thought
that in some inexplicable way legend or
tradition has associated Hamlet's name with
this old castle by the sea. There are two
ways of reaching the castle which lies about
two hours from Copenhagen, either by boat
or rail. We were obliged owing to the late
ness of the hour in the morniDg, to take the
latter, though the sail up the sound along
the green shore of Denmark in summer
time, is very delightful. Our way lay
through pleasant, farming lands, very fertile
in this region, diversified by wood-land.
Several Royal residences lie not far away
from the road, said to be well worth the
visit if one has the time. But our thoughts
were rather with royal Ghosts of the past
than living realities.
The little town of Helsingoer, as it is
called in Danish, lies directly on the sea.
Here we had our dinner and discussed
Shakespearian characters. The town itself
is a queer little place, with narrow streets,
and has an eminently plain and proper book.
The castle lies just beyond the town on
a little point, bending out towards the sea.
You, reach it by a shadowy, tree covered
avenue, with a great plain on one side,
where on the day of our visit a company of
Danish soldiers were engaged in target prac
tice, having their white tents pitched or** the
green turf. You pass the draw-bridge and
double moat and pass, then the gate, with
no one to impede your way. A Danisn
soldier paces before the entrance, but has no
word for us. The castle was built some
centuries since ; is a fine large building
with towers and turrets, surrounding a large
paved court. It appears now to be used by
the Government for soldiers—barracks,
soldiers were to be seen on every hand.
There is a legend cWJnected with the place,
namely, that the deliverer of Denmark
sleeps beneath the castle and in the time of
Denmark's need will arise in her defense.
Before the castle, which by the way is splen
didly placed at the entrance to the sound, is
a grassy platform reaching nearly from the
castle to the sea whereon cannon are
planted. And now let us give free play to
our imagination, we will live the grand old
play over again. How wonderfully every
scene fits! Certainly the coincidences of
the poet's fancy and the bare realities we
have about us are striking. We sit down on
the grassy platform, grown sear and withered
under the August sun. Our little volume
of " Hamlet " seems almost to open of itself.
HVe is Elsinore, here is a platform before
the castle. Here, certainly (away with un
belief) it must have been that the uneasy
spirit of the murdered king walking.
"In the dead vast and middle of the night,"

—unfolded to the awestruck prince the mys
tery of his death and roused the son's heart
to avenge the Father's wrong. If it all
seems so real here under the genial summer
sunlight, how much more so must it seem
in winter's midnight, in the " nipping and
eager air," with the wind blowing fiercely
down from the channel of the north, and
the storm clouds driving over head. A
little old lady, a most praiseworthy guide
who doesn't distract us with too many re
marks comes to show us over the few rooms
of the castle, which are shown to visitors.
There area number of them filled with remark
ably poor pictures, but the rooms themselves
are interesting, or the indescribable spell
which ir» some way seems to hover over this
place renders them so. Here is a charming
little room in one of the towers, looking off
to the sea. Here are rooms and apartments
enough for all the lords and ladies of the
Danish Court of the past or present. The
Knight's Hall which still retains some
faded traces of its former splendor, was just
the place for the players to perform in before
the guilty King and Queen. At one end fancy
the mimic stage, facing it the Royal Com
pany. Here at this side Hamlet lying at
Ophelia's feet ; beyond in this narrow
passage, poor old inquisitive Polonius may
have fallen stabbed behind the arras. How

lia, with her garlands of flowers and plain
tive mad songs i '■'■Polonius, Laertes, Ho
ratio, liosencrantz, Guildenstern."
We go across the court to the castle
chapel which is interesting for its carved wood
work, elaborately and oddly colored in
various shades. Beyond this is the long
stair-case when we ascend to the lofty tower.
The view from this height is especially fine.
On one side the mainland of Denmark green
and fair, with rising wooded land, dotted
with houses, and great windmills stretching
their awkward, useful arms out into the air.
On the other the bright glittering sweep of
the sea, and just beyond the Swedish coast
with the Swedish town of Helsinborg. Here the
two countries come very near together. Hun
dreds and thousands of ships pass here,
and at times the sound is all alive with
sails. My practical friend is very jratient
with my mania for procuring souvenirs.
But I really must have some sprays from
the willows by the moat. Do you remem
ber when the Queen says :
" There is a willow grows aslint a brook
That shows his hoar leaves In the glassy stream," etc.
At least no one can complain if I do
gather a few. I was shown in Wittenberg
the house where Hamlet is said to have
lodged when he was attending the Univer
sity there. But here at Helsingoer they
surpass that. You pay a fee to go and sec
Hamlet's grave! I wonder that no one
keeps the ghost of Hamlet's father on exhib
ition. The " grave " is marked by a circu
lar heaps of stones, from which rises a stone
shaft of a few feet in height. You are paid
for your visit to the grave, for the view from
the terrace where it lies over the sea, is fine.
 915 THE
On our return to the town we passed an old
church-yard where the ghastly jokes of the
clowns—would have fitted well, and hurried
down to the railway. " Till Kjobenhavn,"
shouts the conductor, the car doors are
closed, and we are whirled off in the night
to the Capital, leaving the old castle to its
dreams.
A SUNDAY IN DENMARK.
August IS. The Church of Scandinavia
is Lutheran, and the people are eminently
church-goers. You find the churches crowd
ed. At nnother time I may be able to write
something in reference to the forms and cer
emonials, etc., but now I must speak in a
very few words of a church where we have
attended service this morning. It is the
principal church of the city, and we found it
crowded. The service was long, the music
fine—some of the responses, chanted by the
choir were beautifully rendered. The cler
gyman wore a black gown with wide, full
ruff. He spoke with great energy, but un
fortunately in a- strange tongue to us. The
church itself is no way striking,—quiet and
simple and appropriate: But here are placed
some of the finest works by the master-hand
of Thorwaldsen. They are alone worth a
visit to the city. On the porch of the church
is his marble freize, "John the Baptist
preaching in the Wilderness," near the en
trance bas-reliefs, " Charity " and the
"Guardian Angel," high above the altar
" Christ on the way to the Crucifixion, and
in side chapels " The Baptism of Christ "
and the '' Sacrament," all of these are most
beautiful. But the chief interest centers
about the grand and impressive figure of
" The Risen Christ," which occupies the
place where generally the altar picture is
placed. I know of nothing in all the range
of Christian art so noble, so marked by
power and dignity, and yet so wondrously
tender and beautiful as this. Looking from
the body of the church the effect is striking.
The grand figure stands, raised above the
hushed multitude, the hands outstretched as
if in blessing, the head bending slightly
downwards. The long flowing hair falls in
ample fullness on the shoulders. Over one
shoulder and the body hang the graceful
draperies of a mantel or robe, falling away
from the pierced side; The marble seems
Hnimated by a kingly, a divine presence, the
lips may at any moment part in benediction.
It were indeed worth a life-time of artistic
effort tojleave to the world*>ne such glorious,
inspiring work as this. On the sides of the
church are statutes of the Apostles in white
marble, all ot heroic size, so that you look
down through the vista formed by these
splendid figures to the "Christ" beyond.
« The statute of John is especially striking,
with inspired and upturned face, on which
seems reflected the radiance of the heavenly
vision. * * * *

The Saviour smiles! upon my soul,
New tides of hopes tumultuous roll
His voice proclaims my pardon found,
Seraphic transport wings the sound.
- Earth has a joy unknown in heaven
The new-born peace of sin forgiven :
Tears of such pure and deep delight,
Ye angels, never dimmed your sight.
Ye saw, of old, on chaos rise
The beauteous pillars of the skies;
Ye know where morn exulting springs,
And evening folds her drooping wings.
Bright heralds of the Eternal Will,
Abroad his errand ye fulfill;
Or throned in floods of beamy day,
Symphonious in his presence play.
Loud is the song—the heavenly plain
Is shaken with the choral strain
And dying echoes, floating far,
Draw music from each chiming star.
But I amid your choir shall shine,
And all your knowledge shall be mine;
Ye on your harps must learn to hear
A secret chord that mine will bear.

as it grew in number of inhabitants and im

centuries, having been founded by the re

absent from the capital, at the time we
chanced to be there, so that a good opportu
nity was afforded us of seeing the Palace.
But European palaces come to be sadly
monotonous after you have seen several,
there is a vastness about them, a wearisome
sameness, a monotony of gilding and myth
ological frescoes, of royal portraits, histori
cal paintings, antiquated and fading tapes
tries, and so on ad infinitum. I was how
ever interested in the apartments occupied
by the Crown Prince and his younger broth
ers, which were furnished appropriately but
with comparative simplicity ; there was
enough of homelikeness about them to ren
der them attractive, but still the warmth and
" coziness " which brightens the homes of
many boys, not of royal birth, was lacking
here. But the views from the palace are
the most interesting. On one side, looking
past the splendid portal with its guardian
lions in stone, is a fine and inspiring scene.
At this point a noble bridge connects the
sundered banks, and beyond lie some of the
finest buildings of the city—the Grand Ho
tel, the finest hotel in Scandinavia, the Mu
seum of Art, palaces and public buildings.
Leaving now for a little while the general
let me give you a few notes from my jour
nal.
Saturday morning, Aug. 24th.—Surely
some good angel, guardian spirit of travel
ers, has brought us to this quiet " Hotel de
Suede," where we have our pleasant rooms,
with coffee in the morning and are at liber
ty after that to seek luncheon, dinner and
tea wherever we may see fit. The maid
who cares for our rooms has all the quiet
dignity and sweet comeliness of a New
England farmer's daughter. I am irresisti
bly reminded in the self-possessed but mod
est manner, in the full, rich womanliness of
this Scandinavian maiden, of that type of
earnest, noble womanhood, which has been
the boast and pride of New England and
FRIEND, FEBRUARY.
which has acted as a wholesome leaven on
American life, both in the east and west.
Our hotel lies on the long, busy Drottning-
gatan, Queen street, the principal street ot
the city, forming the backbone of the leading
business portion of the city. It is lined with
shops, most of them gdld, some excellent,
and 1 was pleased in noticing that the
'■ book-stores " had the most well-to-do ap
pearance of any. J couldn't resist my old
temptation "The Market" in starting out
this morning, but found nothing in particu
lar to reward me. I must wait till I get to
Norway for picturesque scenes.
After a ramble out a short distance in the
country, where a fine sweep of woodland
borders the city, we came back to our day's
work of sight-seeing. As we stood at the
head of the Drottninggatan, we were charm
ed with the splendid view which faced us at
the close of the long, narrow vista of this
thoroughfare. The domes and spires of the
old city gleamed in the sunshine and against
the blue of a northern sky. And with what
a glorious blue these northern skies robe
themselves, clear, intense, perhaps scarcely
warm enough in tint, but full of a marvel
ous strength and purity, rejoicing in an in
finite, passionless peace !
Along this street are several exhibitions
of Scandinavian antiquities, and we found
the one which we visited extremely interest
ing and helpful in bringing the past of Swe
den before us. Several Swedish girls in
peasant costume, (brilliant under-dresses and
aprons, trim bodices, and closely fitting little
caps, framing round good humored faces)
who acted as guardians of the exhibition,
aided much in this revival of the past. Not
far away from here is the Academy of Nat
ural Science. The renowned botanist, Lin
naeus, was the first president of the Scienti
fic Society of Stockholm. Sweden glories
in some of the greatest names in science.
In the vestibule of the academy we saw a
huge meteorite brought here in 1871 from
Greenland, the largest meteoric fragment in
the world. One would scarcely believe see
ing it now restfully placed, that it had had
such a wild and tumultuous career. What
a singular, absorbing fascination there is in
such dumb stony fragments, the only mate
rial, tangible possessions which we have
from a sphere without our own ! One clings
to them as the first step towards further
knowledge, towards a fuller answer to those
restless, passionate questionings which men
throw out into the mysteries of the infinite
space in which we float. At the end of a
side street is the Adolph-Friederichs Church
where is a monument to the great philoso
pher Descartes, who died in Stockholm and
was buried here, but whose remains were
taken to France in 1616. I was charmed
with the sunlit, tree shadowed graveyard or
church yard which surrounded the church
and where at the still noon-time, little
groups of people or stray individuals were
seated on the benches under the trees, as if
it was the most natural thing in the world
to do. 1 have seen this also about other
churches in Scandinavia, and it has pleased
me much. The church doors were open
and we could look up towards the altar and
pulpit, and down the aisles, and the old
church seemed to keep a kind of motherly
watch over its glad and sad, thoughtless and

Stockholm Tejoices in fine schools, in all
manner of public institutions, benevolent,
charitable, educational. There seem to have
been earnest, working souls here at the
north, who have tried to do their share in
lifting up the race. One of the foremost of
these, one whose name should ever be spoken
with a tender love and reverence was Fred-
erika Brevier, who labored so truly for her
native land. Miss Bremer died some years
since, a noble specimen of a great hearted,
large souled Swedish woman. Her books of
travel, her novels and other writings are
widely known and loved. She visited
America many years ago, and many still
read with pleasure her thoughts and obser
vations on America, embodied in her
" Homes of the New World." She was es
pecially desirous of advancing all that tends
to noble, national progress, especially in re
lation to woman's work, education and posi
tion. She was anxious for a large, brond.
generous charity in matters of life and reli
gion, and was one who looked as few can
or will do into the heart of things, a brave,
true, most womanly woman. I write with
enthusiasm. For out of the memories of
other days, I think with especial fondness of
those with whom 1 read everything which
pertained to the sights and scenes of this
old world, which Miss Bremer's glowing,
eloquent descriptions put so strikingly before
me. And hence it was a pleasure for me to
come where she had once lived, even though
she was gone.
I might weary you should I endeavor to
give anything like a detailed account of the
various public buildings which the stranger
here visits. But I should feel as if I had
omitted a very important point should I fail
to mention the church where Gustavus Adol-
phus rests, the Riddarholmskyrkan. The
church is no longer used for divine service,
but is changed into a royal mausoleum. It
is rather cold, lonely and cheerless. Thou
sands of naval and battle flags are festooned
on the sides of the nave, from which lead
burial chapels to right and left. From all
others we turn with greatest interest to the
chapel where are the remains of the great
Gustavus Adolphus, the greatest name in
Swedish history. The chapel is in the
gothic style. A plain but handsome marble
sarcophagus contains the body, and beneath
the window is placed this inscription in
Latin—'-In angustiis intravit. Pietatetn
amavit. Ilostes prostravit. Regnum,
dilatavit. Svecos eocpltavit. Oppressos
liberavit. Moriens triumphavit."
From the time of Gustavus began a new
epoch for Sweden, and this far northland
entered as one of the leading powers into
the field of European politics and states
manship. The history of this King is preg
nant with interest to all who enter into the
^tudy of the exciting days in which he lived.
He fell in battle by Liepsig in 1632, while
valiantly pushing forward the protestant
crusade which he had left his own realm u>
accomplish. Beside those o,f Gustavus

other sovereigns of his line, and here too,

this mausoleum is also a chapel for the
Bernadotte family, of which the present
reigning King of Norway and Sweden is a
member. It may not be uninteresting in
closing our visit to this royal mausoleum of
Sweden, to glance at the history ot the re
markable man to whom the Scandinavian
Peninsula owes so large a debt of gratitude,
nnd who was so instrumental in introducing
a better state of political affairs for these
sister countries. It is difficult for the trav
eler of the present day who visits Scandina
via, finding here almost a realization of the
old dream of a golden age of peace and uni
versal concord, to realize that for centuries
this region has been disturbed by wars,
great and petty, by jealous feuds and rival
ries. Thankful should we be that we are
permitted to see the dawn of a better day,
which all lovers of peace and national har
mony cannot fail to pray, may grow brighter
and brighter to a full and settled radiance.
King followed King in rapid succession. The
country was disturbed by discord at home
and wars without. Finally inasmuch as the
regular line had become, or promised to
become extinct, a successor to the Swedish
throne was sought in the person of Prince
Christian August, of Augustenburg, but his
death rendered a further choice necessary
and the French Marshal Bernadotte was
elected as Crown Prince under the name of
Carl Johann. As I find the outline of his
history sketched, 1 give it in the briefest
manner possible. With the arrival of Ber
nadotte began a new era for Swedish poli
tics. In order to make amends for the loss
of Finland, he determined to unite Norway
and Sweden in one country, and threw him
self, with this object in view, into the midst
of European politics. As an ally of Russia
had he already in 1812 fully broken with
his old Emperor. In 1813 he entered Ger
many with 30,000 Swedes and took part in
the campaign of that year. After the battle
of Liepsig he led a portion of his army to
Holstein, where, in the " Peace of Kiel," he
induced the Danish Norwegian King Fred
erick VI. to cede the Kingdom of Norway
to Sweden. But Norway failed to acknowl
edge this " Peace," and the parliament as
sembled at Eidsvold and chose Prince Chris
tian Frederick as King. Accordingly, Karl
Johann was forced to make war upon his
future subjects. This, however, was of an
unimportant nature, and on the 4th of Nov.
1814, after that Christian Frederick had re
nounced the Norwegian throne—followed
the union of the two Kingdoms—as two
independent realms, under one King. Since
this union, Norway and Sweden have' taken
an honorable place among European Powers.
Wisely, however, have their successive Sov
ereigns devoted themselves to the wiser
improvement of their peninsular, and have
refrained, with slight exceptions, from med
dling in the ever unsettled state of European
politics. Under this new regime, the pro
gress which the countries have made is
worthy of all commendation, and a bright
future seems to lie before them. Of the
present state of affairs in Norway and Swe
den I may take occasion to speak more fully
at another time. Karl Johann reigned from
ISIS to 1S43 Oscar I died in 1859, Karl
XV. in 137:2, and the present King of Swe
den and Norway, (or as the good people of
FRIEND, FEBRUARY,
Norway say) of Norway and Sweden is the
talented and much loved Oscar II. The
Crown Prince is just entering upon the
years of his young manhood.
STOCKHOLM AS A SUMMER CITY. .
Stockholm, from the brilliancy of its life—
the fondness of its citizens for pleasure—and
the gay and animated and light-hearted ap
pearance of its people, has been called, '•The
Paris of the North." And certainly there
is much—in miniature—to recall Paris and
Parisian life here. The French, perhaps
owing to the fact largely, that the present
Dynasty is of French extraction, seem to be
most popular here; and may have influenced
to some degree, the tastes and life of this
people. But the resemblance arises, I think,
from certain inherent traits of character which
seem to mark the Swedes, and which it is
surprising to notice, are so largely lacking
in the Norwegians. In entering Norway
we shall be constantly struck, I imagine, not
simply by the striking differences between
the natural features of the two countries, but
also between the two peoples who inhabit
them. We saw Stockholm in the full
brilliancy of its summer life, and I most
confess it surpassed anything I had antici
pated. In the evenings the whole city
seemed to be on the streets or in gardens; it
was like one continuous fete. Was it not
possible that we had mistaken the latitude ?
Could it be that not so very far away from
the frozen heart of the north was all this
warmth and music and gaiety ? For the
time the whole city seemed like some won
derful tropical exotic which had been
brought here from the south, and must die
with the coming of winter! One of the
dearly loved places of rendezvous of the
Stockholm people is the Zoological Garden,
a verdant, cool, inviting place. Here are
summer theatres, large restaurants, and
amusements of all kinds. The garden is
reached by land, or better by taking a little
steamer and crossing one of the bays of blue
water which, in summer time, are alive
with pleasure parties. Here you meet
crowds from the city, who seem as light-
hearted and gay as if sorrow and trouble
and human pain had no abiding place at the
north. Coming home this evening from the
garden, the Parisian tone of the life here
was more than ever manifest. We passed
one crowded summer garden, brilliantly il
luminated, where some band of music was
flooding the evening air with melody, only
to find another just before us. It was like a
gorgeous fairy land. Lights glowed in the
shadows of the dense summer foliage, and
mirrored themselves in the countless dancing
ripples of the ever present water, which, like
some glittering form of mysterious life,
made itself manifest. And the language
and manners of the people only add to these
scenes an intense animation. From these
northern lips comes an unceasing flow of
often times very musically accented words.
They speak with rapidity, with an ease and
delicate intonation which I have found most
pleasing.
Another favortte place of resort, and I
single this out from many others, is the
Moseback, a famous restaurant, from which
a superb view is obtained of the city and its
environs. I shall not soon forget the de
lightful sun-set hour which 1 spent there the
I 8 7 9. 11
first evening I was in Stockholm. The
whole city was spread out like a map before
us; the towering palace; the many spires
and buildings of the city; the clustering
masts of the shipping. In the west, as the
bright light of the August day died away,
glowed a soft crimson radiance; contrasting
with the grey clouds of smoke which still
gathered over portions of the city, evidence
of toil and labor. To the west stretched far
away the blue, deeply blue waters which
lead to the outer sea, (a wonderfully inspir
ing view) over which came the fresh air of
the evening. I was reminded in this west
ward view, of the Hudson; though here was
lacking the breadth and majestic sweep of
that most beautiful river.
All over the city are scattered public gar
dens or open squares, in the centre of which
are set statues, or fountains. The recently
completed library is a noble building, and
the art museum is an ornament to the city.
[ was especially interested in paintings by
Scandinavian artists. The unique life of
this northern world, the wonderfully grand
beauty of its scenery, its old poetic, half-
savage mythology, the stirring incidents
which have marked its historic growth, are
inspiration enough for generations of artists
and poets. And it is most pleasant to see
that native artists have felt the power and
grandeur of their Fatherland, and have been
able, in some degree, to put before us the
" spirit " and essence of this wild northern
poesy. I remember one grand, stirring pic
ture, The Descent of Thor, his chariot
drawn by wild, long-horned goats, brandish
ing his almighty, all-conquering " hammer,"
a strange picture, painted in lurid colors,
And then in pleasing contrast to this, a
smaller painting, than which for delicacy of
conception and finish, I think I have never
seen anything finer. At a distance it seemed
simply to represent the bosom of a quiet
lake, in the moonlight, over which float
soft, grey mists. On closer examination,
however, I found that the mist took on the
guise of floating female, fairy forms, that
looked through this almost imperceptible,
yet ever present, shadowy veil, that the
water mirrored others looking downward,
and that from the low-lands by the lake-side,
rose a spirit-band towards the silver moon.
It was a marvelously delicate, imaginative,
weird painting, and I shall rarely ever see
mist clouds hanging over river or lake with
out thinking of what they may possibly
contain. In the same building, with its fine
collections of paintings and sculpture, are
very interesting historical collections for the
relic hunter; all manner of reminders of the
Sovereigns of Sweden. They have here the
horse even, stuffed and preserved, on which
the great Gustavus rode the day he fell by
Liepsig.
Sunday, Aug. 25th.—We have been to
one of the Stockholm churches this morning.
All through Scandinavia we find the chur
ches crowded, and the congregations seem
most devout. The Lutheran- creed is that
of the Swedish church. The ritual here is,
I notice, quite elaborate. The chanting and
responses by the choir were finely rendered.
The altar with altar-painting and the pulpit
were gorgeous with heavy gilding, and the
sunlight so flooded the church that on the
whole it was rather dazzling. F rom the

“Mrs. Mary C. Bradley, wife of Mr.

She was buried Monday afternoon, Dec. 30.
She had been ill since the birth of her babe,

her recovery in Chicago, her friends took
her, though very much of an invalid, by the

much suffering, until death came to her re

Letter from Pitcairn's Island.
The reception of this letter has led us to
re-read the journals of Beechey, who visited
the island in 1825. Bennett, who followed
in 1833, and several other volumes relating
to the early and later history of the inhabit
ants—descendants of the mutineers—on this
island. From our correspondence with the
people upon Pitcairn's and Norfolk Islands
for over thirty years, and the information of
visitors and these numerous books, we can
truly say, that their history appears more
and more remarkable and worthy of study.
Only two out of the sixteen guilty mutineers
died a natural death. The conversion and
earnest efforts of John Adams, in behalf of
the rising generation, indicate wonderful
Christian zeal and persistence in right doing.
From all we can learn of the present condi
tion of affairs on both islands, there are most
hopeful signs of God's abiding presence
among the people. The interests of educa
tion and true piety are carefully attended to,
and appear to be crowned with God's
blessing.
Pitcairn's Island, Sept. 9, 1878
Dear and Rev. Friend :—By the arri
val of H. B. M. S. Shah, and favor of the
Admiral, who very kindly offered to forward
any letters we may desire to send abroad, I
now address a few lines to you.
After leaving Vancouver's Island he ar
rived at this place yesterday,—Sunday,—
thirty days from San Francisco, on his way
to Valparaiso. It was his intention to spend
but a few hours with us, then proceed on his
way; but having landed with nearly all his
officers, he was prevailed on by us to extend
his visit till to-day, providing the weather
should be favorable. We h»d a large con
gregation on shore during morning service;
the prayers were read by myself, and a dis
course was delivered by the Chaplain, the
Rev. Joseph Reed, on the subject of Christ
Crucified. The service being over the Ad
miral, with his retinue of officers, left us and
went on board.
It is now nearly a year ago since we have
heard from Mr. John Buffett, on Norfolk
Island, and he wishes to be again with us. I
wrote to my brother at Norfolk to help pro
vide him a passage, should he carry his plan
into execution. There is a gentleman in
San Francisco who wrote me, stating that if
Mr. Buffett would find his way to San
• Francisco, he would provide for him while
there and procure him a passage to this
place. If he should undertake the voyage,
he will go by way of Honolulu, thence to
San Francisco.
Our community now numbers ninety per
sons, forty-one males and forty-nine females.
We have still the old woman with us, of
whom we had communicated with you some
time ago, the first that was born on the
island after the mutineers landed. She is
still strong and hearty for her age, but her
memory now appears to be failing her very
fast.
There are thirty-four children who attend
school, of this number the females exceeded
in learning as well as in number.
It is our custom to meet together for
social prayer and for the extension of our
Redeemer's Kingdom, on the first Friday of
every month; it does not include all the
members of our community, but it is daily
gaining ground, extending to some of the
younger class of the community.
The members each choose a subject on
which he speaks verbally, or commit his
thoughts to writing. Thinking you may
desire it, 1 send you a few copies of those
who have written their thoughts; I have en
deavored to have the writers compress their
thoughts on a single leaf of letter paper, so
that they may be entitled leaflets; but there
are some which are extended much longer
than is expected. I have given some of them
to Mr. Reed, who was very much pleased
with them. They are simply worded, which
is much the better for comprehending them.
Some have the signature of the writer's
name stitched to them, whereas others do
not desire to give their names. You can
see at once the writers are females; the men
spoke their thoughts verbally.
I would have enclosed a copy of my
daughter Rosalind's poems, but we have but
one copy of them on the island, in Mrs.
Young's possession, which she would not
wish to part with. They,*can be had from
San Francisco, as they were first printed
there two years ago.
Mr. James Russell McCoy is now Chief
Magistrate of the island, and as far as he
has acted, I think he is a fit man for the
place.
I will now conclude this letter by desir
ing you to remember us in your approaches
to the throne of grace, that we may be
steadfast, and grow in the knowledge, love,
and fear of God.
I remain, yours affectionately, in the
bonds of Christian love,
Simon Young.
Hard Times in San Francisco.— Why
should it not be so? The inhabitants of
that city, 300,000, supporting about 8,000
rum shops ! This statement is made
by Dr. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who
lately visited the State of California. Add
to the support of these liquor saloons, the
ruinous effects of gambling in stocks, and all
other demoralizing practices of that city,—
causes of " hard times " are quite manifest.

EDITOB'S TABLE.
Socialism : By Rev. R D. Hitohoock, D. D.
Randolph & Co., New York, 1879.
When the political atmosphere of Europe
and America is so full of the noxious fumes
of Communism, Socialism, and Nihilism, it
is most hopeful to read a discussion of the
general subject by a Theological Professor.
This class of writers have not hitherto en
joyed the credit of coming to the front and
discussing questions of vital interest to the
well-being of society, as affected by the agi
tations of such questions as communism and
socialism, capital and labor. This volume
and numerous articles in the recent numbers
of the Princeton Review, by learned Profes
sors in Europe and America, indicate a most
hopeful future among the leading scholars
and thinkers of the age. The crisis de
mands men who can give a right direction
to the minds of the people, hence this vol
ume is most opportune, and furnishes
wholesome material for popular thought.
Dr. Hitchcock's numerous citations show
that he has given the subject a thorough in
vestigation, as it relates to the past, present
and future, in both Europe and America.
He discusses the subject under these four
headings :
1. Communism in General.
2. Communistic Socialism.
3. Anti-Communistic Socialism.
4. Christian Socialism.
While the writer would make short work
with those disturbers of society " in
Paris, seven years ago, in Pittsburg last
year, in Berlin this year," yet he manifests
a deep and profound sympathy for the great
and increasing numbers who are dependent
for their " daily bread " upon the proprietors
and owners of large manufacturing estab>
lishments. The struggle is coming, or
rather has come, between '' capital and
labor." Dr. Hitchcock. Rev. Joseph Cook,
(in his present course of lectures in Boston)
and other writers, are awake and aroused.
While inculcating obedience to law among
the " toiling millions," the possessors of the
" golden millions " will not be allowed to
retire to their counting-rooms and country
residences, taking shelter under the plea,
that " corporations have no souls." Writers
and Lecturers of this stamp are now needed
to "tone up " society and imprison Glasgow
and Fall River Corporators and Bank De
faulters. Read Dr. Hitckcock's fourth
chapter on "Christian Socialism," and Rev.
Joseph Cook's Lecture, " Mrs. Browning's
Cry of the Children."
We have taken much pleasure in perusing
this volume, written by our old college class
mate and correspondent, Prof. Hitchcock.
More than forty years ago we sat together
in the lecture rooms of Amherst College,
and a reference to the catalogues of that in
stitution will show that we had as our asso
ciates not a few who have since taken an
active part in the religious and political
affairs of the world. We recall the names
of Beecher and Storrs of Brooklyn ; Ex-
Governor Bullock of Worcester and E. H.
Kellogg of Pittsfield, Mass., (the lattT was
the American Commissioner on the Fishery
Question;) the Rev. Dr. Robinson of Louis
ville, Kt., the Rev. Dr. Palmer of New Or
leans, Bishop Huntington of New York, and
many others.

The Retukn op Emperor Wilhelm to Berlin !
After the trying and tragic events which came
as a shadow over Germany, and Berlin in particu
lar, during the past Spring and Summer, the recent
return of the German Emperor in restored health
and spirits, to his capital, welcomed by hundreds
of thousands of his subjects,—has been a most
pleasing and satisfactory event. During the Sum
mer and early Autumn, the Kaiser has been visit
ing in different places in the Empire, regaining the
strength and vigor which is so striking a charac
teristic of his advanced age, but which, it was
feared, bad been hopelessly shattered last June by
the cowardly bullets of a would be assassin. All
Germany has followed with joyful interest tbe en
couraging statements which have appeared from
time to time in tbe official reports in reference to
bis convalescence and returning strength, and the
recent jubilee of welcome here proves bow true
and lasting a hold be has upon the hearts and love
of his people. Specially marked has been the cor
diality of the Rhenish Provinces, where be has been
travelling and visiting during the Autumn, one
city vieing with another in testifying to their Im
perial Head and Father the sincerity, and depth of
their loyality. From the time it was announced
definitely that his return to Berlin would be in De
cember, very little else has been spoken of here in
all circles, but of the most fitting manner in which
to give him welcome. The papers were crowded
with accounts of what was to be, and old and
young, high and low, were eager to have a share
in such a celebration. Artists, Architects, City
Authorities, private citizens, all seemed to enter
into a friendly compact to do their best and utmost
to translate the prose of regular streets, buildings
of brick and stone and mortar, every day and com
mon-place sights and objects into a poetry of dec
oration, of color, of effect which would bear wit
ness to the love and affection of those who stood
ready to welcome the Emperor. Certainly the re
sult was ample compensation for all tbe labor be
stowed upon the preparations, and all who love
tbe German Fatherland cannot but feel that the
old year passes away more pleasantly because of
tbe memorable triumphal welcome of tbe 5th of
December. For some days before tbe 5th, tbe
city presented the quaintest and most picturesque
appearance. In the principal avenues crowds of
work-men were busily occupied in constructing
triumphal arches, rearing Btatues and allegorio
and symbolic groups. Public and private edifices
began by degrees to hide themselves under floating

festoons of national colors and drooping fragrant
wreathes and garlands of evergreens. Far into
the night of the 4th and morning of the 5th tbe
work went on. Ev6ry one was eager to know if it
could be finished in time. I chanced to pass
through one of tbe public places during tbe even
ing proceeding .the entry, and although I have
since then seen the glory of the pageant which fol
lowed, I can scarcely Boon forget the odd and I
may say beautiful effects which tbe unfinished
work produced. The night was dark, and through
its shadows flashed and glowed great torches of
ruddy flame which were borne from one place
to another as more light was needed. Busy work
men—soldiers and others—were passing hither and
thither. Artists stood near by giving directions.
On all sides lay fragments of statues ; a crowned
bead ; laurel wreathes ; symbols of victory ; of
Germania ; uplifted bands ; drooping white wings
—bo that one might almost fancy himself in tbe
midst of tbe ruins of some ancient and classic city.
Great painted banners were being swung into
place. Moist and fragrant moundB of evergreens
lay waiting, dumbly appealing to be fashioned into
some welcoming shape. And so all night long,
under tbe flare of tbe torches the work went on,
and when the morning came, beauty and order and
symmetry crowned tbe chaos of preparation. The
arrival of the Emperor was fixed for twelve,
noon. Hours before, the Linden and tbe other
long avenues through which the procession was to
pass were lined by thousands and thousands of
people, patient and ordely, every window in the
line of march was crowded and the roofs of tbe
bouses were often times ocenpied. Every house
was decorated, Bome most elaborately. Faeing
tbe depot was a towering obelisk, ornamented
with appropriate devices and Biblical texts, and
covered with a profusion of palm branches and
surrounded by massed shrubs and clinging vines,
within whose embrace the waters of a fountain
foamed and gleamed. From tbis point on. follow
ed an almost unending avenue of arches festooned
with flags and evergreens, until at the Branden
burg Gate, tbe entrance to tbe avenue " Unter den
Linden," tbe effect was superb. About this grand
and historic gate, transformed into a triumphal
portal, were grouped towering evergreens until it
seemed almost difficult to realize that it was in re
ality no longer summer. Looking southward from
this entrance, was tbe verdant avenue we have
just passed, and before us lies the Linden one suc
cession of elaborate arches and statues. Tbe Em
peror, just before reaching Berlin, received from
the Crown-Prince tbe " Government," which had
been entrusted to him as regent, and hence entered
bis capital again as active ruler. From the win
dows which our party had on tbe " Linden," a
most excellent opportunity was afforded us of
watching the procession. It was really the grand
est of sights. Tbe center of the avenue was kept
clear, but on both sides stood thousand and tens of
thousands of people. Bands of music filled tbe air
with martial strains. As the Emperor's carriage
appeared the crowd broke out into tbe most enthu
siastic and jubilant Bhouts. What a glad and
pleasing contrast it was. tbis welcoming, rejoicing
burst to tbe still, bushed throng which filled tbe
Linden on tbe first Sunday in last June. The Em
peror looked extremely well. With him was tbe
Empress. Tben followed the Crown Prince and
Princess, and then many other carriages, and tben
tbe endless procession, corporations, tbe military,
different guilds, tbe old veterans, but most inter
esting of all tbe students who came by hundreds
and hundreds. The " Corps Studenten " were con
spicuous in their capB and Bashes of blue and
orange and purple and crimson, and other colors,
certainly a most picturesque sight. Some forty or
fifty American students walked in the procession,
led by the stars and stripes. The old Emperor ap
peared off the Balcony of the palace and was again
most enthusiastically greeted by the crowd below.
But tbe finest thing of all in the reception cele
bration was tbe illumination of the evening. The
whole city was one sea of flame. I can scarcely
imagine anything finer. It would be utterly im
possible to put into words the magical effects pro
duced. Tbe intense brilliancy of the newly dis
covered electric light is something marvelous, and
at such a time as tbis may be used to splendid
purpose. Nothing could be more striking and
brilliant than the flashing through the night of this
strange weird light. Modern art and science have
brought new elements of beauty into such a scene
as that of which I am speaking so that the old and
well-known method of illumination seem almost to
have vanished from thought and sight. Out of tbe
dazzling, brilliant splendor of this illuminated
night there will always live in my memory the re
collection of one or two especially beautiful and
striking scenes. Above the Brandenburg Gate
rises a chariot of viotory, drawn by lour horses ; at
all times interesting and imposing, it was rendered
peculiarly effective by the arrowy gleams of eleot-
ric light which fell upon it. Beyond this rose in
to tbe night a winged victory, lilted bigb into the
air on a towering column similarly illuminated.

drawing-room windows is a charming view of the
little church, surrounded by now leafless trees,
and hemmed in by glorious drifts of snow. As
the shadows of Christmas eve gathered over the
country, little groups of the country people
might be seen wending their way on foot to the
church, or coming in large parties in sleighs
from the neighboring estates. The little church
runs back with history some two or three hun
dred years, and yet seemed not too old to enter
with a sort of quaint simplicity and earnestness
into the services of Christmas. Before the altar
stood two evergreen trees gleaming with tapers,
—a pretty custom which I have seen only here.
The church was further decorated with sprays
and wreaths of green. The Mecklenburg church
is " Lutherian," the "Reformed" being in a
minority here. The altar of the church is pro
fusely decorated with old carvings and paintings,
and the high pulpit, where the young clergyman
stood in black robe and bands, was similarly or
namented. The gallery in the rear is an ancient
affair with wood carvings, family arms, etc. Fac
ing the pulpit and near the altar are the high
pews, fenced and railed in for the gentry of the
neighborhood, and in the body of the church are
seats for the people. The services on Christmas
eve consisted of chants and choral singing from
the choir of boys and men, and prayers and read
ing of passages of Scripture by the clergyman—
a quiet vesper service. As we came out again
into the evening air and gray-lighted atmosphere,
it seemed like the finding of some old picture
which I had seen and tried to realize long, long
ago in the Tropics as a boy, thinking of what a
northern Chrislmaa eve must be. Through the
door of the church, framed in curving arches of
stone, came glimpses of the twinkling, gleaming
tapers. Quiet stars shown in the softly darken
ing skies. The snow clothed the land far as the
eye could reach with a mantle of stainless purity,
lifted itself in massive waves over fences and
walls, crested the roofs and lighted the gloom
gathering in the firs. Sleigh bells tinkled in the
frosty air, and pleasant words passed between
those hastening home to delight the little ones'
eyes with the ever new-born beauty of tne Christ
mas tree. In all the enow-covered houses of the
village stood Christmas trees. The " Forester "

And the fathers and mothers and children gath

German-land.
In the castle we had the same pleasant custom,
though perhaps on a somewhat larger scale. The
ringing of a bell announced to us that our pres
ence waB desired, and we entered the large,
brilliantly lighted hall, in triumphal procession,
while the music of a German choral came to us
from one of the neighboring rooms. It was one
of the prettiest sights imaginable. Two trees
with tapers, covered with all manner of bright
and glittering ornaments, which it is the delight
of German children's hearts to make and buy,
gave us welcome. Running all around the great
room were little tables, bright with gifts and
lighted with Christmas tapers. Each one had
his or her table. What a bright, merry time we
had ! No one was forgotten; and amid the pleas
ure of renewed surprises, of giving and receiving
FRIEND, FEBRUARY,
of thanks, the evening passed pleaeantly away,
though not, however, without leaving an impress
upon one heart and memory, at least from which
it can never be effaced.
Some times in this region of country, and in
Sweden also I think, they have an odd and very
amusing way of distributing presents. The com
pany is seated in one room, and presently and
mysteriously a great parcel is thrown amid the
waiting group. It is often of mammoth size,
carefully and elaborately enveloped in coverings,
and directed to some of the company. He opens
it with eager expectation, to find that beneath
bis address is that of some one else. The next
in turn is doomed to similar disappointment,
and eo the joke goes round, until some happy
person is found for the gift. It is often pro
ductive of much fun and merriment.
Christmas day was exceedingly pleasant. In
the morning we attended the services in the
church, and had a good Christmas sermon from
the young clergyman. Later a grand Christmas
dinner, and a pleasant evening en familk. The
Christmas festivities here are prolonged to two
holidays, but they are spent more quietly than
with us and are regarded somewhat more as
sacred days.
On New Year's there is a more boisterous life
among the common people. We have bad during
Christmas week a charming gathering of friends
of the family to celebrate the birth-day of the
eldest daughter of the house. The guests came
through the snow, some of them from a consid
erable distance. The great family coaches and
sleighs presented quite an imposing appearance,
drawn by four horses. The country life of the
gentry here iB very pleasant. They have large,
comfortable homes, plenty reigns on every side,
and each estate is a sort of little kingdom. A
certain charming stately old-fashioned formality
and politeness, colored -and warmed by truest
and simplest - friendliness, which one sees here, is
very delightful and interesting. Our time passes
swiftly by. During the day the gemlemen hunt
or Tide or write, and the ladies busy themselves
with, their work, or conversation. At dinner we
all meet, and tbe evening is filled up with music,
with games, conversation, etc. The ice has been
in most excellent condition for skating, but tbe
little thaw which we are now having is a disap
pointment for the skaters. With the festivities
of Sylvester evening and New Year's will close
our holidays in tbe country, and we shall say
good-bye to our kind friends and be in a few
hours in Berlin.
In closing, I cannot but think amid how wide
ly different scenes I am writing these few words
from those in which you in the tropics may read
them. I watched the sun rise this morning in
the gray east. First came a soft warm glow in
the winter sky, a low lying band of amber light,
growing brighter and brighter, and yet seeming
almost shy of its own brightness, so strangely
reluctant does color seem to make itself felt in a
winter landscape. Now a blue sky, with slowly
gathering clouds forms itself above us as tbe day
goes on. Not far away to the north lies the
Baltic, cold and gray and wintry. Forest lands
stretch to east and west, north and south. In
the woods and on the fields hero and there lie
traces and tracts in the snow of the timid bare

and swift deer, lures to the hunter. The snow
has partly melted away, showing now and then
brown earth and faded turf, and on the huge
old-fashioned barn roofs, vivid patches of emerald
moss. In the park, gothic aisles of myriad leaf
less twigs and curving branches, stand waiting
for the resurrection glory of the spring. Sounds
of all kinds of feathered and animal life come to
us from barn and stall. Solemn cawing crows
fly like a shadow over the snow, and countless
sparrows make summer in the trees. Peace,
plenty and prosperity seem to reign on every
side, from the castle, with its tower, to the sim
ple peasant-cottage, from which the smoke rises
into tbe quiet air. As I close, the sun sends a
golden shower of beams over the landscape, and
as it passes westward I send with it to you my
New Year's greetings.

Ninety years without slumbering (tick, tick, tick, tick) ,
His life-seconds numbering (tick, tick, tick, tick) ,
It stopped short—never to go again—
When the old man died.
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro,
Many hours he had spent while a boy;
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know
And to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride;
But it stopped short—never to go again—
When the old man died.
My grandfather said that of those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found ;
For it wasted no time, and had but one desire—
At the close of each week to be wound;
It was kept in its place, not a frown upon its face,
And its hands never hung by its side;
But it stopped short—never to go again—
When the old man died.
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night—
An alarm that for years had been dumb;
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight,
That his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled
chime,
As we silently stood by his side ;
But It stopped short—never to go again—
When the old man died.

GAMLA UPSALA.
,«« Gamla " signifies old, and in connection
with Upsala has reference to a little village
lying a few miles to the north of the Uni
versity town—a charming bit of antiquity, if
you are of an antiquarian tendency—the
oldest of heathen shrines in Sweden. We
enjoyed keenly our afternoon's walk, under
the gray and clouded sky, with the cool
Northern air falling freshly on our faces.
Such a delicious sense of freedom ! No one
to bar our way as we struck across the fields
and climbed ancient and tottering fences, or
rolled (one who has lived at all in Germany,
that land of strict regulations, can appreciate
the luxury of this) on the grassy and heather-
tufted plain, on a carpet of soft, creamy-
white northern moss, stained here and there
with the gleam of some vivid crimson ber
ries. To me the very air seemed freighted
with the spirit of the olden times. As we
strode onwards, we cast backward glances
now and then at the town we were leaving,
with its University buildings. There was
something in the sight of those buildings
cresting the hill above the town which re
minded me of other college buildings crest
ing another hill—so very far away from
here. Wide as is the reach of land and sea
which lies between this home of Swedish
learning, set in the embrace of this quiet
Northern landscape, and the halls of Am
herst, set amid the fairest of New England
scenes, yet I could not but feel that the
sympathy of kindred pursuits, the love of
truth and the brotherhood of youthful hopes
and aspirations, joined in a covenant of
lasting, although unspoken, friendship those
institutions in the Old World and the New.
Before us, not very far away, rose the spire
or tower of the village church, the goal of
our ramble. Now the way lies over some
deserted moor and now through a fertile
field, through whose billows of golden grain
a narrow way led us to the farther side.
Still on, till at last we stood face to face
with three huge grass-grown mounds, on
whose sides a few late wild flowers still
lingered, which stood like sentinels before
our way. And these were the objects which
we came especially to see, these same three
commonplace grass-grown mounds ! You
see, " Gamla Upsala " was, long long cen
turies ago, the very center of the old heathen
religion in Sweden, and was held in especial
Teverence, and these three mounds were
supposed in some mysterious way to be con
nected with the ancient deities, and are
named after Odin, Thor and Frey. These
are the largest mounds of this nature in
Sweden. One still greater, however,
FRIEND, MARCH, 187 9.
" Raknihongen," is to be found in Norway.
IN ear these lies another mound, from which
the ancient Kings were accustomed to ad
dress the great gatherings of the people. Of
the Northern mythology and its wild and
poetic character I may take occasion here
after to speak, in connectien with Norway,
the savage grandeur of the scenery in the
latter country seeming to be more in sym
pathy with it than with the fertile plains of
Sweden. The old village church lies near
by, half hidden among the trees, and heathen
mounds and Christian spire seem to have
struck a lasting truce and forgotten to be
hostile. But this is only the portal to Wal-
halla. Everyone comes to Gamla to drink
" mead," that drink of gods and heroes. A
little boy guided us through winding ways
to a little cottage, set in the midst of a blos
soming garden. Nothing could have been
more charming and inviting. There, in the
neat little " best room " of the cottage, we
were given seats, and presented with a horn,
silver-mounted, long and tapering, filled to
the brim with foamy, frothy, tempting
" mead " Did you ever drink this sweetest
of sweet drinks, brewed from honey and
other simple ingredients ? The foaming
horn passed from hand to hand, from mouth
to mouth, and again around. Thus, you
know, the heroes in Walhalla drink,—they
who never fled before the foe. they who
never quailed in the thickest of the fight,
and who now at unending banquets quaff
this ambrosia of the North, perhaps from the
skulls of the vanquished and slain ! But,
oh earth-child, be wise in time, and do not
tempt the jealous souls of Walhalla heroes,
for the joys which this mead produces are
but fleeting, and this sweet may become
indeed a bitter. But we were cautious, and
have only pleasant memories of this our
nearest approach to the mysterious realm in
which the heroic souls of Scandinavia rest
after conflict. I think the horn from which
we drank was presented by King Karl Jo-
hann. There were others there from other
princes. Several large " visitors' books"
testified to the numbers who from time to
time visit this spot. But the coming of
evening forbids our longer tarrying here,
and we hasten back to Upsala, taking thence
a slow and sleepy train to Stockholm. A
fresh-faced peasant girl, with her neat hand
kerchief decorously folded over her head,
seems to bring a bit of light and brightness
into our compartment. Every one nods
kindly to evey one else. Some one hums a
Swedish air ; the car moves slowly on ; the
twilight gathers softly in the forests ; large
drops of rain fall on the car windows ; city
lights gleam on us through the mist, and
soon the train lands us in the station at
Stockholm—and not at the vestibule of Wal
halla ! , names held in honor through all Europe.
A FEW CLOSING WORDS ABOUT SWEDEN.
The growth and progress and promise of
this most interesting country would repay
any one for devoting some time and atten
tion to the study of the same. The popula
tion of Sweden was, according to the census
of 1S74, 4,341,559 persons; in the year
1800 only 2,347,303. The large majority
of the inhabitants are Swedes; besides
these are a few Germans, Norwegians and
Danes, who have emigrated hither. There
are also a few thousand Finnlanders, who
23
mainly live in the forest-regions along the
Norwegian boundary, whither they came
about the year 16OO on account of the dis
turbances in their native country; and final
ly a few Laps, who have a nomadic life,
and in the summer generally wander with
their reindeer to the Norwegian coasts. The
land seems astir in all respects. New in
dustries are opening and old are continued.
More and more attention is being paid to
agriculture, and the fertile land in the south
ern portion of the country is carefully
tilled. There are two agricultural colleges
or academies. Mining is one of the oldest
pursuits in Sweden, especially iron and
copper. The lumber business is assuming
great importance, the country being exceed
ingly rich in forestB. Lumber is largely
exported to England, France, Denmark,
Germany and other countries. The fisher
ies of Sweden do not compare with those of
Norway. Manufactures of woolen and
cotton goods, in metals, of paper, brandy,
tobacco, etc., etc.', afe constantly increasing.
Swedish commerce adt'ances in a like de
gree with the internal development of the
country.
The Church of Sweden is Lutheran. The
country is divided into twelve dioceses, the
Archbishop living in Upsala, and is regard
ed as the Primate of the tSwedish Church.
The highest authority is entrusted to the
Kihg, who with his Cabinet has the govern
ment of the land. There are separate
ministers for Norway and Sweden, with the
exception, however, that the Department of
Foreign Affairs is the same for both coun
tries. The Minister of State for this De
partment must be a Swede, and is respon
sible oniy to the Swedish Parliament. The
foreign representatives of the Kingdom may
be either Swedes or Norwegians. Every
year the Swedish Parliament (distinct from
the Norwegian Storthing) meets at Stock
holm, before 1S65 consisting of four orders—
the Nobles, Clergy, Burgers and Peasants—
now simply divided into two houses.
The army numbers something like 30,000
men, with a reserve of 100 000 or more.
The navy is very small, but increasing.
Fortunately, Sweden is a land of peace, and
has other use fer her men than holding them
in readiness for war. Of the educational
advantages of Sweden 1 have already spoken.
At the head of Sweden's poets
stands the name of Esaias Tigner,
the author of " FrithyoPs Saga ;" then those
of Bellmann, of Allinquist, of Atterborn,
Franzin, Geizer, and many others especially
well known in their native land. But parti
cularly in the department of science have
Swedes been illustrious ; it is- only neces

lius, Nilsson, Ritzius and Agardh, to recall
From Sweden have come some of the
sweetest of singers, and in painting and
sculpture are well-known Swedish artists.
It is with pleasure that 1 repeat in closing
what 1 have before said—that the Sweden
of our day is a country where law, order,
justice and prosperity reign, where internal
improvement and develoyment are preferred
to foreign war and conquest, and where, it is
to be fondly hoped, peace and brotherly love
have found an abiding home.

Watch o'er Maximilian’s tomb,

Never more his lips repeat

A correspondent of the Boston Congre
gationalist thus writes:
“At some of the large temperance gather
ings—for England is awakening to the fact
that she has more drunkenness than any
other nation, and needs to arouse her people
—I heard such leaders speak as the wife of
Rev. R. W. Dale, so well known in America,
Miss Richardson, of the Bristol School
Board, and others who are an honor to their
sex. Agnes Weston, too, is the admiration
of all temperance workers, from her marvel
ous labors in the Royal Navy. She has
been instrumental in forming 202 floating
branches of the National Temperance
League on board Her Majesty's ships. She
has agents ashore at Yokohama, Bombay,
Barbadoes, St. Helena, etc., who visit the
ships as soon as they are in port, tell the
men of temperance boarding houses, and
give addresses; and agents afloat in the
Mediterranean, East African, Australian,
Chinese and Pacific squadrons. She sends
each month 2,900 copies of a “Temperance
monthly letter” to the sailors, and gives
addresses on the ships as often as possible.
All make reports to her, and her name is a
household word.”
We are glad to learn that Miss Weston
has efficient agents among the seamen

fulness.
“KNow YE NoT THAT YE ARE
TEMPLE of GoD.”—The argument for total
abstinence drawn from the fact that God
honors our bodies as His temple, elevates
the subject of Temperance above the com
mon and ordinary grounds upon which men
are urged to refrain from the use of intoxi
cating liquors as a beverage. Alcoholic
drinks debase, degrade and brutalise the
body. If God deign to come down and
take up his abode in the sinner's heart, and
thereby fit the soul for heaven, should we
not strive to furnish a pure and holy abode
as the dwelling place of the Holy Ghost?
Drunkenness and intemperance are certainly
among the most debasing and polluting of
vices. Drunkards are certainly enumerated
among those classes which are not to “in
herit the Kingdom of God.”

to be much busy life. You know the Nor
wegians are never more at home than when
they are on the water. Then following the
bend of the shore, every step bringing the
beautiful Fjord more in view, we reach the
Castle and Fortress of Akershus, from
which we gain a most superb view. Here is
one of the favorite promenades of the good
people of Christiania, and the walks are
crowded on Sundays between 12 and 2.
From this height you see the Fjord with its
numerous beautifully wooded islands, be
tween which ships and steamers peacefully
glide, coming from the stormy, troubled sea
beyond. Across the blue bay, gleaming
white in the midst of the luxuriance of sum
mer foliage, can be seen on the mainland,
the picturesque " Oscar's Halle," " which
was originally built by the Norwegians and
presented to King Oscar, but now belongs to
the city of Christiania." Skirting the new
and out-lying portions of the city, we reach
the Palace, which stands at the head of the
fine Carl Johann Gade, the principal street
of the capital. The Palace is situated on
rising ground, just above the city, and the
view on all sides is something most beauti
ful. As the Royal Standard is flying, we
know that there is no admission, and are
content to wait in the delightful sunshine
out-of-doors. The Palace itself is an exten
sive and imposing building, comparatively
new. Just before the Palace is a splendid
equestrian statue of Carl Johann, by the
Norwegian sculptor, Brynjulf Bergslien, and
erected by the Norwegian people who were
devoted to this King, who loved them as his
own race. In the rear and on the sides of
the Palace are beautiful gardens and parks
and lakes, where white swans lazily float.
In the " place " before the Palace, the Royal
Band often plays; and this is one of the
favorite gathering places of the city. It is
a delightful and inspiring scene here on a
bright, summer day. Before you lies the

[35° We fully sympathize with Mr.
Gibson in his views, as unfolded in the
weekly papers, respecting the inequality of
the sexes upon the Islands indicated by the
recent census. So far as the Chinese are
concerned, we are glad to learn that the
Chinese females brought hither are of the
better class. Many of them are Christians,
having been brought under the influence of
German missionaries in China. Cannot
something be done to introduce more of this

Annual Report of the Y. M. C. A.
There have been held during the past
year, five meetings; four regular and one
annual. There are now 58 members to the
Association. - During the last year-the
meetings £ been held quarterly, instead
of monthly; the object thereof being to make
the meetings more inreresting and enter
taining, and at least once a quarter have a
full attendance of members. The experi
ment, however, has not proved satisfactory,
and the regular monthly meetings will be
taken up again during the coming year.
The principal work of the Association is
still among the Chinese. Our Colporteur,
Sit Moon, having returned from China, after
a visit of some months there, is again at
work among his countrymen, by whom he
is much liked.
Sat Fan is at present on Kauai, traveling
around among the Chinese there.
On the Chinese work in general, I will
add: That there is a regular Chinese Col
porteur stationed at Kohala, and one at Hilo,
but none on Maui. Although at Makawao
we learn that they have meetings among
themselves, conducted by some of their
number who are Christians.
There seems to be a growing interest
among the Chinese in general all over the
islands.

have invested their money in a crockery
store on Nuuanu street, the proceeds of
which are devoted to charitable work among
their countrymen.

--for the erection of a church in this city.

the mountain summit I found a strange little
settlement. During the summer the cattle

them live in little huts or hovels, called
" Saeters." They are most miserable look

aside from the road to look at one, and in
this dingy little interior, to my great sur
prise, I found a bevy of rosy-cheeked Nor
wegian maidens, hardy and strong as this
wildlife could make them, seated about the
huge stone fire-place, busily knitting and
making the air ring with their merriment.
There was something indescribably pleasant
in this glimpse of rosy, happy humanity in
the infinite loneliness and almost weird
dreariness of the landscape. All through the
afternoon a storm had been creeping after
me, and with the coming of the twilight the
rain came in torrents from the clouds. On
ward, onward I was forced to walk, begin
ning to long for the pleasant " station "
which 1 knew was awaiting me in the valley
below. The snow patches gleamed ghostly
through the gathering gloom; the wind
moaned sadly down from the mountains;
the rain fell pitilessly. The wild spirits of
the old Norwegian myths seemed to take
form in the sullen, darkening clouds. Soon
the white, withered moss gave way to stunt
ed shrubs, then scattered trees, and then
splendid avenues of forest-growths, fragrant
with moisture, bending over the road. Then
far off down the dusky vista a wavering
gleam, growing brighter and brighter, till it
settled into a warm and welcoming glow of
yellow light, out of which looked kindly
faces, and I knew I was at the little station
of Hoeg, in the lovely valley of Borgund;
and that my interesting journey over the
grand summit of the Fille Fjeld was accom
plished.
FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA.
Far inland as 1 still was, high up, among
the mountains, still after the Fille Fjeld
had been passed I seemed almost to hear the
throb of the restless Atlantic on the bleak
western const, and felt eager to hasten
forward. The mellow golden light which
had guided me through the shadows of the
previous night had proved no " will o' the
wisp," but the welcoming lamps of the cheer
iest of mountain inns, where I found the
best of welcomes awaiting me. The storm
of the previous night had died away, and in
the early morning hours the sun stood in
cloudless radiance in the glorious northern
sky. After the wild and bleak loneliness of
yesterday's journey, the returning signs of
human life which came to me, as I descended
more and more into the valleys, were pecul
iarly welcome. During the forenoon I
reached one of the little villages, lying along
the route, where stood an ancient and pecul
iar church, which is one of the most interest
ing relics of the past in Norway. It is no
longer used as a place of service, but
stands in the midst of the pleasant Norwe
gian valley as a mute reminder of long van
ished days. I caught glimpses of it coming
down the valley, and must confess at first
this quaint, dark structure produced some
thing of an uncanny impression, cen
turies old and black with age. It is built
entirely of wood, and ornamented with the
most grotesque and unearthly carvings
which run up its sides and on to the steep
roof, meeting in sharp saw-like edges at the
top. The entrance is finished in intricately
carved arabesques and rounded pillars. Not
withstanding that it was a Christian temple,
and cruciform, there was a wild heathenish
something about the structure which im
pressed me strangely. I made me a couch
in the summer grass before the door, and
with the drifting clouds over my head, and
the murmur of the river floating up to me,
tried in the shadow of the sombre portal to
make acquaintance with this weird little
church. There are two old runes on the
western portal which hands now long folded
quietly away, wrote for us. I give them for
the quaint language—'' porir raist runur
pissar pan olau missv,"—and anoiher,
Pittai kirkia a kiekinvilli.— All along the
wild romantic way on which I journeyed
during the day, my thoughts reverted to the
little church in the valley, as if a spell of
enchantment had been laid on them. But
the royal dinner my hostess at Husum
spread out before me was more than enough
to dispel all the spectres of the morning.
The rest of the journey to the Fjord was
accomplished in a little carriole, a method
of travel peculiar to Norway. These carri
oles, or Skyds, are light little breaks, with
two .huge wheels, and just room enough for
one person. They are owned at the differ
ent stations, which lie along the route. You
take them from one station to another, and
then they are driven back by the little boy
who accompanies you.
It was a rare afternoon. Our way. lay
through wild rocky mountain gorges, which
gradually gave way to a grand and stately
valley lying between splendid mountains,
reaching to the Sogne Fjord. My bronzed
and wiry little Norwegian attendant de
lighted me immensely. A thousand bless
ings on your curly-head, little Olaf of
Husum. As another travelling companion
for miles I had a riotous, glorious mountain
stream, revealing now depths of emerald
green, now of deepest blue, through the
inanteling foam. Olaf tells me that in its
jewelled waters is the home of the finest
salmon. Now, long avenues of trees in
the beauty of summer foliage, farm-houses
in the midst of spreading, fertile fields,
now clustering fisher-houses, and we are in
the little town of Laerdalsoren and with the
Greeks of old, after the mountain journey,
we shout, " The Sea ! The Sea !"
ON THE SOGNE FJORD.
You are aware what a strangely serrated
coast Norway possesses and in looking at
the map you will be almost confused by its
labyrinth of indentations and deep penetra
ting inlets. Norway is unique in its glori
ous Fjord scenery. One could with profit
and constantly growing pleasure spend weeks
in exploring this wonderful region. The
two most beautiful Fjords of the western
coast, are Sogne and Hardanger, the former
running one hundred and twenty miles in
land. Lest you should think me too enthu
siastic let me give you, in the words of
another a description of the journey from
Landal to Gudvangen the route which our
steamer took on the first day. " The scenery
is grand beyond all conception, a.. ^
have 1 beheld in any other country sights
that so impressed me with the awe-inspiring
majesty of nature as did these on this jour
ney. We left Saerdalsciren at eight o'clock,
and for four and a half hours were sailing
down the sublime Fjord, this part of which
is unquestionably the finest piece of Fjord
scenery in Norway. We passed some
thirty water-fulls or cascades, falling in an
endless variety of graceful shapes from va
rious altitudes down the enormous moun
tains which form the sides of this truly
grand Fjord. These mountains rise almost
perpendicular 4,000 or 5,000 feet high from
the surface of the Fjord, which is the sea
level. Their summits were crowned with
snow and ice, and stood out sharp and clear
against the bright blue sky, and their gigan
tic forms from base to peak stood deep re
flected in the calm, clear fjord water, perfect
as a mirror. At the junction of the Aur-
lands and Noeroens Fjords the scenery
defies description. Here an amphitheatre
of mighty mountains rises upwards of
4,000 feet sheer from the silent Fjord and
the solemn grandeur which this sight im
poses is quite overpowering. No storm can
enter here ; all is still as death ; even the
water-falls which here present themselves
appear to hang in silence all around. We
could think of no place that would,
compare with this most wonderful sight.
We thought of the lakes of Lucerne and
Como, but they are weak in their impres-
siveness compared with this. The moun
tains and fjord wear a kind of sombre gloom
Which would depress were it not for their
surpassing magnificence. Entering the right
arm, or Noervens Fjord as it is called, the
mountains increase in height and grandeur
as the Fjord narrows up to Gudvangen.
Sunshine only reaches the water here when *
the sun is nearly vertical, in consequence of
the great altitude of the mountain's sides,
whose enormous shadows almost perpetually
overshadow the narrow fjord. * * The
Wonderful sights had gradually worked up
our feelings so as to produce a state of ex
citing adoration, such as I Tiad never before
experienced, when, just before arriving at
Gudvangen the climax was reached. A sol
itary peak lifts its pointed head 1000 feet
clear above the other mountains, and tower
ing like a monarch over all, 5000 ieet in
height, it seemed to touch the sky; and
scarcely had our admiration of this wonder
ful sight broke forth, ere the captain pointed
on the opposite side of the Fjord to what
appeared to be a strip of silvery fleecy cloud
suspended from the mountain. This was
| the Keel Fos, which falls 2000 feet ! "From
I Gudvangen out is a most interesting route
to Hardanger Fjord, and then on to Bergen.
The glorious glacier-fields and the beautiful
Voring Fos, one of the most beautiful water
falls in all Europe, and the ever romantic
scenery of the coast attract many travelers
to Hardanger. From Gudvangen our little
steamer passed swiftly out into other wind
ing arms of the Fjord. I was the only pas
senger, and found the captain a well-inform
ed, agreeable young man, speaking some
English. His home is in this region, and
he knows every recess and inlet of Sogne.
Not far away from Gudvangen, he related
to me a tragical incident in the history of

the little settlement. Some ten or twenty
years ago, on a winter's day, a young couple
dressed in all their bridal finery, the bride
adorned with one of those towering crowns
which every Norwegian peasant bride wears,
had started in their boat, attended by all
their friends and relatives, a little bridal
train, for the church which lay farther up
the Fjord. Just as the company were pas
sing through one of the narrow passes, where
the towering cliffs come very near together,
a noise like thunder was heard, and a huge
avalanche of snow and ice fell with fatal
force over the terrified peasants below and
buried them in the deep waters of the Fjord.
During the winter months the captain tells
me that the steamer does not visit some of
the settlements, owing to the fact that the
tremendous avalanches render the navigation
dangerous. It was so late in the season
that our little steamer was visiting some of
the villages for the last time, and I thought
some of the little groups who stood on the
shore and waived adieux to us would find
the winter months very long, before the
little herald from the outer world came back
with the opening spring. From one point
to another the little " Oscar " darted, seem
ing especially privileged and loved among
these solemn mountains and deep blue
waters. Cozily and comfortably they tucked
me away for the night, and with the grey
dawn 1 found we had reached one of the
arms of the Fjord which 1 had especially
desired to visit.
FJAERLAND AND ITS GLACIERS.
The rain was pouring in torrents, and yet
the intense desire which 1 felt to visit the
beautiful Glacier lying up among the mists
of the valley was more than sufficient to
find a way out of the difficulty. I had the
morning hours and the captain promised to
signal for me in time. Among the fisher
men on the shore I found one willing to
fuce the rain and storm and drive me to the
Glacier. It was a wildly delightful ride,
on all sides rose huge mountains with sum
mits lost in grey and solemn banks of mist.
Roaring mountain torrents, showing tawny
and troubled waters beneath the tossing
wreaths of creamy foam, dashed down
through the ravines and across our road, so
that at times we seemed almost borne on
their surface. At last we were forced to
leave our horse and proceed on foot through
the moist fragrant forest to the base of the
glacier. The Suphellenbrace is exceedingly
interesting, . being one of the easiest of
access in the world as it descends to about
159 feet above the level of the sea. Few
sights are more strangely impressive than
that which a glacier affords. 1 stood spell
bound before this glorious frozen-wonder,
till my guide called to me to follow him in
attempting its passage. The storm of the
early morning had passed away and the
mists had lifted so that the Glacier stood
revealed in its splendor before us. From
the green-valley where we stood, far of to
the summit of the mountain rose one enor
mous mass of ice and snow, glittering and
motionless.
The Glacier has already descended some
distance into the valley and is slowly, very
slowly making its way to the sea. One is
afforded here a rare-opportunity of studying
its progress even better than at the Wengern
Alp. Close to its very border beautiful
ferns and wild flowers and rare and exqui
site mosses might be gathered. Viewed
from all points the Glacier is grandily im
pressive. We scaled some of its icy heights,
but found the passage across would occupy
too much time and accordingly were forced to
content ourselves with a partial survey. It
was necessary to ufe great care in climbing
and walking on the surface, as on all sides
huge rifts in the ice-masses opened about us
into whose shadowy depths we scarcely
dared to gaze and yet towards which we
were continually drawn by a strange almost
irresistable attraction. At the lower por
tions of the mass, numerous streams rushed
forth into the valley, out of caves, so blue,
so cold, so wonderously beautiful they
seemed fit for the abode of enchanted spirits
of the ice.
The longer I gazed, the greater grew the
glory of the scene Never in my life had I
seen such a marvelous blue as in these ice-
fissures, and in the pinnacles and battlements
which rose into the air. And then the infi
nite, almost painful stillness, in this desola
tion, this awfulness of certain irresistible
destiny in the onward march of the glacier
through the fertile, smiling valley, which no
human power can hinder, which, in the
darkness and light, through all the changing
seasons, must go forward till the end is
reached. I thought involuntarily of the
great, desolate lava wastes on Hawaii, so
strangely different in their sullen blackness
to the terrible whiteness of this scene, and
yet producing something of the same im
pression. By neither should I wish too long
to stay. To see both is worth very much.
All down the valley I kept glancing
back through the forest at its white face,
lying unmoved in its death likeness, and felt
something as if a weight had fallen from me,
as I stood once more among the warm-heart
ed fisher-folk upon the shore.
As our little vessel steamed out of the
Fjord the sun appeared in all its radiance,
and the glaciers ol the valley lifted them
selves triumphantly into view. A more
splendid sight it would be difficult to con
ceive of. Among the passengers who had
come on board the captain pointed to one
who, years before, had lost his companion
while exploring the icy mysteries of the gla
ciers, and whose body was never found. Ah !
the beautiful, pitiless glacier !
ON THE SOGNE FJORD.
Here 1 spent two or three rare days of my
life. It was in the little village of Balhol-
men, close down by the water's edge. Aly
host and hostess and the people about, were
kind-hearted, delightful friends, desiring
eagerly to show me every kindness in their
power. The windows of my room opened
upon the glorious waters of the Fjord, where
the silver light of the moon, and the red of
the dawn, are reflected as in a mirror.
About us and before us rose stately moun
tains, and the shores were fresh and beauti
ful with full-leaved groves. The people of
this district are busy workers. Life flows
quietly on ; change comes seldom; and the
din and confusion of the great world is kept
away by the mountain barriers. They seem
happy and contented. Near every village
55
lises the spire of a little church, and rosy-
cheeked boys and girls fill the school houses.
It is a region poetic in the extreme—the
region of a thousand Sagas—from which
rises into especial prominence that of Frith-
yof and Ingeborg, which Tegner has so
beautifully rehearsed in his exquisite poem.
At another time I may give the out lines of
this legendary story, as I read it while here
amid the very scenes where the poem is laid,
with great interest.
Among the groves near where I was stay
ing, tradition says, stood the temple of the
God Balder, and opposite at Framnaes is a
huge burial mound, where the peasants say
the hero Fnthyof and Ingeborg are buried.
The murmuring waves and whispering
leaves had a thousand tales of the olden
time to tell me. And I seemed to catch
glimpses in the distance of shadowy compa
nies passing through the groves; or as some
near sail shot round the cliff, or swift onr
cut the silver Fjord, I glanced up from my
dreaming to give Frithyof welcome. The
very air seemed filled with the spirits of the
grand old Norwegian mythology, and 1
almost felt the presence of Balder, Odin and
Thor ! * * * But there is more than
dreaming on the Sogne Fjord.—The last
day of my stay, a Sabbath, near the middle
of September, will always have a loving re
membrance in my book of memories. As
there was no service in the little village, but
in the settlement of Framnaes, some miles
across the Fjord, my host and his family in
vited me to row with them over the waters
of the Fjord. We started early in the
morning. The boat was- rowed by bronze-
faced Norwegians. It was a stormy passage,
and the waves ran high; sharp gusts of wind
sweeping down every now and then from the
mountains and whitening the waters. We
found friends waiting on the opposite shore
to receive us. and went with them to the
little white church on the hill-side. It whs
a most interesting sight. Many of the
women wore their old-fashioned, picturesque
costumes The white caps, with their
spreading bands and full stiff borders, filled
the church like snowy wings. High up in
his pulpit stood the ynung curate, himself
most interesting with his pale, intellectual
face, rising from the white ecclesiastical
bands and black draperies of his gown. At
the close of the service there was a baptism,
which was singularly touching, and then the
young people placed themselves in two rows,
running down the aisle, the girls on one side
and the boys on the other, and the Pastor
conducted the services in the Catechism.
After the service we were entertained at
dinner by friends, who spread before us a
generous Norwegian repast. Seldom have
I seen such delicacy of hospitality, such a
thoughtfulness for the happiness of others as
here, accompanied by a certain childlike
simplicity, which is indescribably beautiful.
As the afternoon waned, we found our boat
waiting for us, and, bidding good-bye to our
friends who had accompanied us to the
pebbly-strand, and whose kindly wishes,
"well over! well over!" came sweet and
mellow through the twilight, we shot out
over the waters of the Fjord. It was a de
licious evening, which I shall not soon for
get. From our company rose into the quiet
air the sweet music of hymns, sung now all
56 T II K
round the world, and which had an especial
tenderness amid these grand surroundings
of towering mountains and dHrkening
waters, waterfalls and glaciers. On the
other side I found the young Curate, whom
I had heard during the morning, waiting to
give me welcome at ihe foot of his father's
garden, where flowers almost drop their
petals into the waters of the Fiord. Choice
friends had I found in this young man and
his father, the Pastor of this district, and in
his cultivated mother and sisters, it was a
beautiful family picture, and 1 cherish few
things more than the memory of this last
rure evening on Sogne Fjord. The parson
age is mo«t beautifully situated at the base
of grand mountains, and commands a superb
view of the Fjord. Within you find evi
dence of the most perfect culture and refine
ment. I must confess it seemed almost like
a dream to me, this revelation of so choice a
home in this grand and lonely region.
Books and flowers and music, cultivated
ladies stimulating converstion on most inter
esting themes, and here, too, that same in
describable charm of simple, noble natures !
The grand lessons which these hills and
waters teach are not ,heard in vain. And
now, in bidding good-bye to the Fjord
and the dwellers on its shores, I do so very
lovingly, thanking land and people for the
joy and beauty which they have brought
into my life.

Berlin, May 20, 1879.
BERLIN EXPOSITION.
P. S. —May 6th. The great theme of
conversation now in all circles is the " Gu-
verbe Ausstellung," or Industrial Exposition,
which has recently been opened here. As you
are aware, Germany has not been considered
a rival of England or France in the depart
ment of her industries and manufactures,
but of late there has been very considerable
progress in this direction, as the present very
creditable exposition testifies. It was opened
on the first of May, and is limited to articles
manufactured in Berlin alone. Every one
who has seen it is delighted.
The buildings are in one of the pleasant
suburbs of the city, and it will be a favorite
place of resort for the Berliners and strangers
during the summer. Bands of music are
playing every evening there. The ground
covered with buildings, gardens, etc., is, I
understand, about one-fifth of that covered
by the recent Paris Exposition; though of
course there is nothing here to compare with
the French arrangements. Speaking of ex
positions, I follow with much interest the
preparations for the Australian Exposition of
the coming year. It marks, I think, a re
markable epoch in history. Here European
manufacturers and artists are preparing their
exhibits.
1 have spent some hours at the exhibition,
and lam speaking with no exaggerated en
thusiasm when I say that it surpasses my
most sanguine expectations. The buildings
are simple, but most appropriate and tasteful;
and when one realizes that the exhibits are
from the industries of one city alone, it
seems marvelous In the four or five hours
which I was able to spend there, I had
scarcely more than time to walk through the
FRIEND, J Ii L Y . 1879
various departments, and in this way to gain
a general view, which will be of service in
future visits. Everything is represented,
from heavy machinery to the most remarka
ble productions in chocolate and sugar. Noth
ing is more beautiful than series of the most
exquisitely and artistically furnished rooms.
Those who were in Paris last summer say
that these surpass anything of the kind there.
The colors, and hues, and forms, lights and
shadows, are studied with the most dedicate
care, and the result is something most beau
tiful. I have such a passion for draperies
and hangings, tapestries, carved woods, etc.,
that these " rooms " have had an effect on
me like music or poetry. Then the porce
lains and glass, etc., from the Royal Facto
ries, are superb in their way. There are
restaurants, pavilions and places of amuse
ment without end, and Berlin, a city which
is fond of its play as well as its work,
rejoices immensely over this new sensation.
I am busily occupied in hearing iectures
having three a day, one on Latin Gram
mar, another on Sanskrit Grammar, and an
other which is most interesting on Latin
and Greek, with a special reference to mo
dern Greek and the Romanic languages.
There is a pleasant little garden in rear
of the University, where I enjoy going be
tween two of our lectures. The spring is
daily growing more beautiful, though the
air is still fresh and cool. The markets are
radiant with flowers, and the flower-stores
are my perpetual delight. We have now
forget-me-nots, hyacinths, lilies-of the-valley,
etc. I have enjoyed the time of buds, wiih
us in the tropics the buds are so rarely no
ticed, we are always in the full enjoyment
of perfected leafage, but there is especial
beauty in these first heralds of awakening
nature.
The debates in Parliament are going on
very actively now in reference to the TarifT-
bills which Bismarck proposes, every one
seems much excited about the matter.
F. W. D,

announced this lady as traveling in Japan.
Dr, Gulick thus writes us from Yokohama.
" Miss Bird was recently here, and made an
adventurous journey alone among the na
tives of several hundred miles. She is en

EDITOR^ TABLE.
Lectures on Preaching. Delivered before
the Theological Department of Yale Col
lege. By Matthew Simpson, D.D. L.L.D.,
Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
New York, 1879.
We read some of these lectures as they
appeared, when reported in the religious
newspapers, and were much pleased with
their sentiments. Mr. J. T. Waterhouse has
kindly sent us from New York a volume
containing all the lectures— ten in number.
We have carefully read every one of the
three hundred and thirty-six pages of the
volume. Our admiration for the book in
creased, as we turned over page after page,
to the close. The Bishop shows that he pos
sesses a sanctified common sense, combined
with a good theological training, which fits
him to give sound advice to young men pre
paring for the christian ministry. We are
surprised to find a " self-made " Divine oc
cupying the position of Bishop Simpson, so
absolutely free from narrow views and secta
rianism. With no apparent display of schol
arship and learning there is a dignified and
broad-minded tone running through the
whole course of Lectures, which leaves the
most favorable impression up«n the reader's
mind, and indicates that he is the peer of
Beecher, Brooks, Hall and other lecturers,
who have been invited to speak at Vale, on
the " Lyman-Beecher Lectureship."
The Land of the Pharaohs. By Kev.
Samuel Manning, L L.D. The Religious
Tract Society, London.
This beautifully illustrated volume intro
duces the reader to Egypt, and its perusal
imparts a delight next to a visit to that old
est of all lands. This volume takes os back
to that marvellous country, and again we as
cend the Pyramid of Ghizeh, and wander
through the streets of Cairo. The author,
Dr. Manning, has published several books of
this character, including one upon Palestine,
entitled " Those Holy Fields." If possible
let one visit those old countries, but if that
cannot be accomplished, then by all means
read such books, the titles of which we here
mention.

Our Island Girls Abroad—In years
past, we have often referred to the high
standard of scholarship attained by “our
Island Boys,” in the seminaries of learning
of the United States. It affords us much
gratification that our young lady-pupils
abroad are not behind in their scholarship,
when brought into competition with their
fellow pupils of olden countries. At the
late commencement exercises of Mills' Sem
inary we notice, the names of three of “our
Island Girls,”. among the “graduating
class,” viz.: Harriet N. Foster, Julie Judd
and Charlotted. Carter. The latter bore
off the honor of the Waledictory Address.
Several others from the Islands have been
connected with the school during the past
year. Mills' Seminary has acquired a high
position as the best Female Seminary this
side of the Rocky Mountains. Most heartily
we congratulate the Rev. Mr. and Mrs.
Mills upon the success which has attended
their effort in the cause of female educa
tion. One of the teachers, Miss Goulding
is now visiting the Islands, and we learn that
before the summer close, the Rev. Mr. Mills
and another teacher may arrive.

"Abide With Me."
" Abide with me," the day is past and gone;
'Tie even tide, and night is coining on;
The darkness o'er me creeps,
And my sad spirit seeks
Thy presence, Lord, lor I am taint and lone.
The way is long and dark, and often drear;
The thorns are springing up, and clouds appear;
And heavy shadows lay
Across my weary way.
And I am sinking last, and tilled with Tear.
"Abide with me." The tempter's power is strong,
And I am weak; I often do the wrong
1 would not, and 1 pray
That Thou would'st Irom this day
" Abide with me;" and bear me sale along.
" Abide with me ;" L cannot let Thee go
Unless Thou dost a blessing, Lord, bestow,
I leel my need of Thee.
Savior, " abide with me ;"
I know Thou wilt not, canst not answer, No.
Endowment of Oahn College.
In some remarks which the Editor offered
in his sermon on " Home Evangelization,"
preached by request of H. E. Association,
the endowment of Oahu College, found a
place. The subject is one of cardinal im
portance to our Island community. We
copy as follows :
It is now nearly, if not quite a quarter of
a century, since any steps have been taken
effectually to increase the endowment of
that institution, and to broaden the course
of study there taught. To educate and
evangelize a people you must have not only
Sabbath Schools, Primary Schools and
Boarding Schools for young children, but
schools of a higher grade are needed. Oahu
College has, during the last forty years
done a good work, and God's blessing has
rested upon the institution, but for the
Home Evangelization and education of the
rising generation, that institution needs a
generous endowment. The President's po
sition ought to be made, independent of
tuition fees. One or two good Professor
ships ought to be speedily endowed. A Pro
fessorship of languages, including the
modern languages, ought be established,
and another Professorship of Natural His
tory, including the Department of Chemis
try. New buildings ought to be erected,
and the whole establishment lifted up and
made more potent for science, learning and
Christianity. One hundred thousand dollars
ought to be raised for buildings and Profes
sorships. Such an advanced step would have
a most important bearing upon the Home
Evangelization of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
It would correspond to similar efforts among
the American people, in behalf of Harvard,
Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst, and other insti
tutions of learning. Some of our rich
planters might well afford to endow a Pro
fessorship of Chemistry, as a pecuniary
venture. Our men of wealth, our mer
chants and planters, should realize, that the
highest end of their lives, is not merely to
enrich their families, and expend their ac
quired wealth, in material display.
In no way could the Hawaiian and Chin
ese portions of our population, be more fav
orably impressed and elevated, than by see
ing Americans and Europeans in our midst,
coming noble forward and handsomely en
dowing some institution of learning of a
decided Christian type and character. In
this way, the gospel leaven would appear
to be operative and potential. Our young
people ought to be educated, highly educa
ted, and this cannot be accomplished with
out the endowment of a Christian college.
Oahu College made, what it ought to be
made, would exert a most powerful influence
upon all the other seminaries of learning
throughout this kingdom, Micronesia and the
world. Home Evangelization implies, not
merely distributing tracts and preaching the
Gospel in the streets, but a thorough infusion
of Gospel ideas and principles into families,
and all the avenues of trade and commerce.
When the scheme of annexation was agi
tated, twenty and more years ago, and it was
stipulated that the United States would pay
one million of dollars and more, one-tenth
part of this amount was to be devoted to the
higher purposes of education, and Oahu Col
lege was to have been handsomely endowed.
I have regretted that when Reciprocity was
initiated and secured, in tome way, the
cause of higher education, whs not to receive
a generous portion of the duties remitted on
sugar, and other island exports to the
United States. One-tenth of the duties re
mitted during "these seven years of plenty,"
would have been a handsome contribution to
the higher purposes of education. Some
thing ought to be done.
Fornander's Book Again.
Dr. Gulick thus writes us from Yoko
hama, Japan, under date of April 22d :
" Mr. Fornander's first volume has thrown
much light on the past. Whether we ac
cept or not his theory of the Aryan (and
Cushite) origin of the Polynesians, 1 shall
watch for his second volume with impa
tience."
We received a note from Mr. Fornander
a few days since, in which we find an allu
sion to the second volume, and some of our
readers, we feel confident, will be much in
terested to learn that it is nearly ready for
publication.
" If I can now have a month's uninterrupted
time to myself, 1 think I can finish the sec
ond volume. I mean to stop at the time of
the conquest and consolidation of the islands
under Kamehameha I„ at the battle of Nuu-
anu, 1796, WTOE'S TABLE. e ,0
the cession of Ku~ , Delivered M„<^
sion to supreme power u. , - Ya\& Ca&
closes the old regime, the . T i pcient
history of the Hawaiian people, with which
alone I have been concerned. Since these
new systems of government, new political
relations, new social customs, new religious
ideas have gradually, or "per saltum,"
worked themselves up to the surface, I
think it as well, or rather belter to commence
the Hawaiian Modern History at the battle
of Nuuanu, as at the arrival of Capt. Cook
or the arrival of the missionaries, forty years
later. The former prepared the way for the
unification of the islands; the latter put rhe
seal of Christianity on that unification; an
other border line between darkness and light,
between the old and the new, may as well
be drawn where I intend to draw it, as at
any other intermediate period. Without
unification these islands might to-day be
what the Samoan and Marquesas still are;
with unification they have become what they
are, a marvel in history, a crown of glory to
their civihzers, and a puzzle to the sceptics.
With modern Hawaiian history, 1 do not
think that 1 shall occupy myself. That is a
matter of documentary evidence, to be gath
ered from book-stores and archives accessible
to any diligent inquirer ; that is a question of
the present, its diversified beginnings and its
tortuous but ever upward development ; a
period of broad daylight, historically speak
ing, during which a careful and candid in
vestigator cannot possibly go wrong. For
my part, I have chosen to describe the past,
whose only lights were the scattered stars of
legend and myth. Let others bask in the
sunshine ; God's world is beautiful, even
when seen by starlight."
Fate of the Shenandoah —Everybody
has heard of the Shenandoah, the notorious
privateer of the Southerners of the American
civil war; but I do not suppose that many
know what was the ultimate fate of the ship
when the war ended. Of all the places in
the world she now lies ' fathoms deep " oil
the Island o( Socotra, in the Arabian gulf.
Her story is a strange one. She was busy
burning whalers in Behring Straits, when
Waddell, her commander, the " mildest
mannered man who ever scuttled ship or cut
a throat," heard of the collapse of the south.
His occupation being gone, and being with
out home or harbor to which he durst, with
safety, return, he ran the Shenandoah to
Liverpool, and immediately surrendered her
to her Majesty's ship Donegal, in the Mer
sey, She was handed over to the American
Consul, and afterwards bought at auction by
Nicol, Fleming & Co. — a firm that has
earned a notoriety in connection with the
failure of the City of Glasgow Bank— for
the Sultan of Zanzibar. After remaining
idly at Zanzibar for some years, she was
sent to Bombay for repairs, but foundered off
Socotra, all hands being lost except one
Englishman and a few Lascars.

me, my writing table prepared in the libnry,
my home letters awaiting me, a footman in
livery placed at my disposal. Mr Weber
was soon at home, and though we had only
met once or twice in Berlin, yet from the
first we had been good friends, as in many
respects we had sjmilar tastes and ideas. As it
was necessary for me to hasten back to Ber
lin, I had only two or three days to spend
here, but every moment nearly was occupied,
my friends were very clever in getting a great
deal of sight-seeing and visiting into a short
time. We walked and drove through the
city, so that even in the short time I was
there, I saw much of the picturesque old
houses of the city—its busy bustling streets,
its splendid parks and gardens. One day
we made a charming excursion on the shores
of the Elbe. We lunched at a famous res
taurant, from which there is a superb view
over the river on which hundreds of ships
and great steamers are constantly sailing.
On our return home we frequently alighted
from the carriage, to walk through some no
ble park or visit some beautiful hot-house or
garden of friends or acquaintance of theirs,
which lie along the Elbe for miles.
The family of our Consul is one of the first
in Hamburg. His brother is now Burger-
meister, the highest position in this some
what Republican city, and he pointed out to
me one splendid residence after another,
where some relative lived. Mr Weber in
troduced me to many gentlemen among them
Herr Gossler, Mrs. Weber's father formerly
Hawaiian Consul in Hamburg. I met also
on the Exchange, Mr Moll, who was many
years ago, a merchant in Honolulu..
One evening we dined at the country
house of Madame Weber, the mother of my
friend, I neverfelt more honored than in taking
this wonderful old lady, 86 years of age, out
to dinner. She is one of the most remark
able persons I ever met, retaining to a won
derful degree her brilliancy of intellect, speak
ing with energy and eloquence on all su bjects of
Art, Literature, Religion, etc. She is one
of the intellectual forces of Hamburg. Mr.
Weber's house is like himself, artistic
through and through. It seems to have
been a dream of his to have a perfect
home, and few dreams seem ever to have
been more nearly realized. It is full of
beauties, you can turn in no direction, but
something suggestively beautiful dawns or
flashes on you. You take your coffee after
dinner in the tropics, in the midst of rare
ferns and vines, with a view beyond into an
exquisite little hot-house full also of ferns
and rich leaved plants. Rich old Italian
wood-carvings, dusky with age, filled some
of the rooms, even the " bathtub " is artistic,
carved white marble from Italy, rare paintings
hung on the walls. Mr. Weber has a special
fondness for collecting old coins, Greek and
Roman, of which he has a fine collection. I
was amazed at the new world which he
opened to me, in this respect. He has one
work on Greek coins which is in 21 volumes.

Herr Weber has probably the finest pic
ture gallery, for historical study in all North
Germany
The dining hall for large dinner parties is
a perfect work of art, the walls consist of
exquisite paintings from two Weimar artists.
From my bed-room I had a splendid view
over the garden, which though it lies in the
city, is so large that you think you must
be in some country place,—great trees,
smooth lawns, groupings of shrubbery, carved
Italian seats, a Grapery etc. etc. From the
spacious Drawing Rooms there is a splendid
view also over the Alstcr, which here broad

further with hurried details, which can give
so little idea of the reality. The Hawaiian

their owners.

THE IMPERIAL GOLDEN WEDDING IN BERLIN.
In letters of gold stands now written in
German Annals the record of this most in
teresting week in which the illustrious Pair,
Wilhelm 1st and Augusta, Emperor and
Empress of Germany, celebrated, amid the
acclamations of a loving and united nation,
the anniversary of their fiftieth wedding day.
An event of so rare occurrence, as that of a
"golden wedding" the crowning of half a
century of wedded life, is of itself, in any
rank in life and in any land, most singular
ly impressive and tenderly poetic. So that
it becomes an anniversary of national and
historic importance when occurring in the
united lives of the Sovereigns of one of the
most powerful nations in History, and in a
land where all the events of home and family
life, from earliest infancy to latest age, in
palace or peasant's hut, are invested with a
beautiful and poetic significance. Hence we
find the opening words of the address of the
Court-Chaplain pronounced at the marriage
service on the 11th of June, especially truth
ful in their eloquence.
" And the song 6T praise is awaked.
From the banks ot the Rhine and Mosel,
from whose heights last evening the gleam
of joyful fires illumined the land, to the
twin-sees of the north, and again to the
shores of the Bodin Sea and far over
the borders of Germany rises to the
Lord of Lords a new song."—
Realizing the warm and sincere interest
which many take in the wejfare of Germany
and her rulers, 1 have thought a brief out
line of the ceremonies attending this unique
anniversary might not be uninteresting
FESTIVITIES OF THE DAY.
For a day or two preceeding the 11th.,
the city showed signs of a new life.—In the
streets the throng grew perceptibly larger,
hundreds and thousands had come in from
the country and other cities to take share in
the celebrations.—Perhaps tiever had such a
company of heads of Princely and Ducal
houses gathered in the capital, and their bril
liant equipages were constantly dashing
along the avenues. The first official cele
bration of the day was a grand open air con
cert on the Donhofls Platz, one of the
principal squares of the city, at nine o'clock
in the morning. —It was a most impressive
.and imposing affair. The chorus consisted of
over fifteen hundred voices from the various
musical organizations of the city, famed for
their careful and accurate training, attended
by bands of music under skilled leaders.—
The spacious " Platz" was filled with hun
dreds and thousands of listeners. The sing
ers filled a huge raised platform. Every
thing combined to render the concert inter
esting and impressive. The day was lovely
with all the beauty and freshness of mid-
June and the charm which the still early
morning possesses.— Summer skies arched
themselves above the listening thousands
and the golden sun shone as if rejoicing in
the gladness of the wedding day.—The
music was chosen with rare taste and care.
Never have I realized more truly the grand
and stately music of the old German church
chorals, than as sung by this grand choir ;
it moved one like the wind in " primeval
forests." Mendelssohn's " Wedding March "
that most inspiring composition was appro
priately given as one of the pieces in the
programme.
From early morning the avenue " Unter
den Linden " was filled with thousands, who
desired to catch a glimpse of the Emperor
and Empress. Flags and banners and fes
toons of green gave the city a very holiday
nppearance. Near noon the Emperor and
Empress drove at the head of a procession
of princes and potentates,—the Duke of Ed
inburgh representing the Royal Family of
England, and the Grand Duke Alexis
that of Russia, from their palace to the
Imperial Castle where the ceremony of the
'' golden wedding " was celebrated.—This
took place in the Imperial Chapel, and was
confined to the Royal Family, the foreign
princes and the higher German officials.
The other guests appeared afterwards to
present their congratulations. The cere
mony is described as most impressive. The
address of the Court-Chaplain was most elo
quent, and all the circumstances combined
to give a peculiarly solemn and earnest
character to the scene. At ihe conclusion
of the ceremony a salute- of 101 guns an
nounced its completion to the waiting thou
sands without, and cheer on cheer rent the
air. The Emperor and Empress now took
their stand in the great " white.saloon," for
the grand court reception. After the King
and Queen of Saxony, with the long and
brilliant train of foreign princes, attended by
their lords and ladies, the Emperor and Em
press received the " corps diplomatique,"
who passed in line before their Majesties,
led by the different ambassadors. It was a
brilliant and superb pageant. The Emperor
and Empress were radiant with smiles and
kindliness. The '• Kaiser " stood erect and
grandly as if forgetful of his four-score
years. The Empress was regally attired
 THE
for the occasion, a robe of white satin em
broidered with sprays of orange-blossoms,
from which swept away a splendid train of
cloth of gold or brocade. Near the Em
peror stood the Crown-Prince, and at the
side of the Empress, her daughter-in-law the
Crown-Princess. The latter appeared in
public on this day, for the first ■ time since
the death of her son, Prince Waldemar.
She was attired in the purest white, and
wore no ornaments. Her face is still very
very sad, and in the midst of the brilliancy
and splendour of this joyful day I am
sure every one felt a warm and tender sym
pathy for the princely mother, called to
mourn so deep a loss. For hours following
there passed a continual line before the Im
perial pair, court-officials, corporations,
deputations, guilds, etc., etc., offering their
congratulations. At length, later in the
afternoon, the Imperial carriage appeared
drawn by six superb horses, and attended
by out riders. From castle to palace a
splendid double line of university students
formed a spalier through which the Im
perial carriage passed. After their arrival
at their palace, the Emperor and Empress
appeared immediately on the balcony
fronting the Linden and bowed repeat
edly to the throng below, whose acclama
tions filled the air. It was one of those splen
did crowning moments in a nation's his
tory and no German or foreigner present
could have witnessed it unmoved. In the
evening there was a gala-opera performance,
the opera chosen being the " Olympia " of
Spontini, which was superbly sung. None
but invited guests were present. The Im
perial loge was occupied by the Emperor,
Empress, their family and guests. I think
1 have scarcely ever witnessed a more
splendidly brilliant sight than that which
the Opera house afforded on this evening.
The ladies were in full dress and glittering
with diamonds, and the gentlemen with few
exceptions in uniforms more or less brilliant.
Bismarck, Moltke, Mantenffel, Biilou, a.nd
other great lights in the German Firma
ment were present. At night the city was
splendidly illuminated. The banks of the
Rhine and the adjacent hills were lighted
by bonfires, on the left bank Irom Binger-
bruck to Rolandseck, and on the right bank
from Eltville to the Seven Hills. The fires
were lighted at 9 o'clock and kept burning
one hour along the whole distance—sixty
miles. The grandeur of this demonstration
attracted a large number of strangers to
the Rhine Valley. On Thursday it was
expected that a grand parade would take
place, but owing to the fact that the Em
peror of Russia was unable, on acconnt of
the illness of his daugbter-in-law, to be
present, this idea was abandoned. On
Thursday followed a grand dinner in the
castle, and later in the evening a Court-con
cert. The music was wonderfully beauti
ful, the performances being from the first
singers of the land. And with this fete
closed the celebrations of the golden wed
ding, which will not be soon forgotten by
those who were permitted to take any share
in the same. Alltover the city and land for
these days was there rejoicing and plenty.
Thousands of the poor were feasted at least
for once in their lives to a generous and
satisfying repast. All ranks seemed to

less telegrams from all parts of the world,
brought messages and greetings to the Eip-
peror and Empress, and gifts were bestowed
with a loving hand. My time will scarcely
permit of my mentioning them, but I would
say, en passant, that 1 think none will
prove more interesting than the beautiful and
unique present from His Majesty King Kala-
kaua to the Empress, which has just arrived
in safety from Honolulu, and will be pre
sented this week to her Imperial and Royal
Majesty. Those who have been privileged
to see it here, express most warmly their
admiration, and their astonishment at the
exquisite and artistic workmanship which is
displayed in the same. A most graceful
and appropriate Royal aloha does it bring
from Hawaii to Germany. In closing this
brief sketch of this most interesting anniver
sary, I know that I am expressing the feel
ing of all thoughtful men and women in
this land, yjhen I say that it has been a fes
tival full of blessing and rich promise for
this great country. The nation has been
brought renewedly together, noble and gene
rous, charitable and philanthropic senti
ments have been aroused, and I would
fondly hope that the memory of these
days of joy and thanksgiving celebrated in
the golden ridiance of summer in this
month of blooming roses, may ever hereafter
rise as a lasting barrier between all former
memories of national unrest and discontent.
May God bless the German Fatherland, and
give unto rulers and people peace, happi
ness and prosperity !
A RETROSPECTION.
Amid the pomp and brilliancy of the fes
tival displays of the past few days, involun
tarily have my thoughts wandered away
over the many long eventful years, of which
this fete has been the consummation. Fifty
years is a long period of time, and taken from
the heart of a century in which almost every
hour has given birth to some startling and
important disclosure, catastrophe or triumph
for the human race, it obtains a singular and
impressive suggestiveness. No living sover
eign, is historically so interesting as the Em
peror Wilhelm, he unites in his life the 18th
and 19th centuries, has from earliest boy
hood lived face to face with the most earn
est and momentous political and national
questions and movements, which have agita
ted Europe, and won the field in some
of the most decisive battles of all modern
history. He hns seen the fulfillment and
realization of that cherished dream of the
statesman and vpoets of his Fatherland, a
United Germany, and after a life filled with
the most varied and stirring experiences, he
is permitted in the full enjoyment of his fac
ulties, crowned with the dignity of a ripened
and beautifully mellowed age, to celebrate
amid hymns of peace, a festival of family
joy.
In 1829 the Emperor, then Prince Wil
helm, while on his way to Switzerland, met
in Weimar, the loved home of Goethe, the
Athens of Germany, the Princess Augusta of
Sachsen- Weimar, and become? engaged to
her. The marriage followed shortly after in
Berlin, June 11th, 1829. How long ago it
seems ! Goethe the grey-haired old poet, in
his Weimar home receives from a friend in

Berlin accounts of the wedding festivities.
William von Humboldt praises the grace
and accomplishments and talents of the
young bride, Berlin is en fete, for days,
quiet, old-fashioned Berlin, of fifty years
ago, so different from the brilliant Imperial
capital of to-day. Two children came to
brighten the princely home, who in the ful
ness of their noble and beautiful manhood
and womanhood, were conspicious above all
others, on the late Golden Wedding day, the
crown Prince of Germany, and the Grand
Duchess of Baden. As Prince W illiam, as
Prince of Prussia, crown Prince, Prince Re
gent, King, and Emperor, has Wilhelm 1st,
in a brave, loyal, and royal manner borne
himself, meeting with an undaunted energy
and will, the greatest difficulties. It is
scarcely possible to realize amid the present
almost idolatrous devotion of the German
people, that the present Emperor, was forced
as Prince, in the dark and stormy days of
1848, to take refuge at the friendly court of
of England from the threatened attacks of
the Berlin populace. Over no triumphal way
strewn with roses has he walked to his pres
ent throne, but to use the words of his great
chancellor and friend amid the testing exper
iences of "battles of blood and iron!" There
was the Danish war, then the marvelous
victories of 1866, with the triumph at Kon-
iggratz, and like a memory of yesterday, do
we recall the history of those eventful years
1870 and 1871, beginning with the insult of
Benedetti on the promenade at Ems, and
culminating in the triumphal proclamation
of the King of Prussia as Emperor of Ger
many in the " Salle des Glares " at Ver
sailles ! Only one year ago came the dark
ness of a great shadow over the land because
its Head lay prostrate and wounded by the
bullets of the would-be assassin. But all the
memories of disaster, of defeat, of bloodshed,
were forgotten as the shouts of the people
and the chiming of marriage-bells filled the
air last Wednesday.
It is an interesting historical fact that
Charlemagne, the founder of the German
Empire celebrated the same marriage anni
versary, which the first Emperor of New
Germany has been lately the hero. The
only other German Sovereign who lived to
see his golden wedding-day was Frederick
the Great in 17S3. It is no exaggeration to
say that this rare event has been celebrated
in a truly imperial manner. There was no
thing of that superbly pompous and artistic
display which characterised the recent wed
ding festivities of the Emperor and Empress
of Austria a few weeks ago in Vienna, on
which artists and poets, especally Makart,
perhaps the greatest living master of color,
lavishly displayed their talents. But there
was a grandly dignified, earnest, and loving
tone coloring all the celebrations. It was
the tribute of a national-family to its
parental head. Throughout all Germany,
the poor, the sick, the aged, will have rea
son perhaps for centuries to bless this day.
Over all the land have arisen numerous
benevolent institutions, asylums, etc., in re
membrance of this anniversary, bearing
the name " Wilhelm and Augusta." The
Imperial clemency was manifested in num
erous pardons, and the opening of prison
doors was not the least agreeable feature of
the day. I cannot forbear to mention one

addresses in England, Mr. Gough, the
Apostle of Temperance, referred to his early
life and to the fact that he was a book-binder,
and worked at his trade in Worccster, Mass.,
in 1842. During the previous year, 1841,
we were often in Worcester, and distinctly
remember having a certain book bound that
we now have in our library ! Mr. Gough
was the binder, because when on our visit to
the United States in 1869, we listened to
an address of Mr. Gough's, and was intro
duced to him as coming from the Sandwich
Islands, when he replied: “It was for you
that I bound a book in 1841, and I heard

• John H. Paty,
Treasurer of the Queen's Hospital.
Honolulu July 2d, 1879.
Tho Secretary read bis bi-ennial report to the
Society, which is lull of interesting information,
and proves that the Queen's Hospital is efficiently
carried on and increasing in usefulness.
The report deserves the careful perusal of our
readers, and we print it therefore in full.
THE FRIEND, AUGUST. 1879.
• BI-ENNIAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.
Hosolot-u, July, 1st, 1879.
7b Vie Members of the Queen's Hospital.
Gentlemen ;—I have the honor to submit to you a
short report in regard to the condition of the Hospital
to-day and its operations during the bi-ennial period
just closed.
It 1b with satisfaction and pleasure that we may look
back upon the last two year* of hospital work, and I truBt
that our statistics will prove that we have not been ne
glectful of the duties devolving upon us as a hospital
society. The influence of the institution has taken larger
grounds, and while the native of these Islands enjoys
$ 270 29 the same welcome and kindly treatment within our Hos
pital walls as heretofore without money or price, the
foreigner also who has made these Islands his home or
who lands on these shores in a sick condition, has an
opportunity to benefit by our hospital provisions at a
moderate charge. All this clearly proves that the Queen's
Hospital has become a necessity and that it has grown
into our island life as a part and parcel of it, as it were,
sorely missed indeed, if wo were deprived of it. I feel
confident therefore that the intentions which our late
Sovereign Eamehameha IV, and his Queen had in the es
tablishment of the Hospital have been fully realised and
that that Institution is the most lasting memorial gift
which the Dynasty of the Kamehameha's could have left
to their people.
I beg to offer a few statistics illustrative of our hospital
work during the bl-ennlal period now closing :
During that term 934 persons have been received as in
door patients of the Hospital, of whom 604 were Hawaii-
ans, and 330 foreigners, and 971 persons were treated as
outdoor patients,while the sum of $34,057.88 has been ex
pended for the requirements of the Hospital during that
time. The number of deaths were 97, which is a trifle
above 10 per cent., and proves to be a moderate propor
tion in comparison with similar Institutions in other
countries.
The receipts of the Hospital from the Hospital Tax and
from foreign patients have been quite large, i. e. $15,732.-
86, and $7,812.82, respectively, and in providing for the
requirements of the Institution for the future it would be
unwise to take these flgnres bb a standard. The great
influx of Chinese laborers during these two years, subject
to Hospital Tax, cannot possibly continue for a length of
time, and If the number of foreign patients of the Hos
pital should still increase, the accomodations for them
will have to be enlarged very soon and at no small cost.
This subject is Just now under consideration by the
Board of Trustees . . . These remarks suggest tbem-
Belves in connection with the next Legislative appropri
ations for the Queen's Hospital, and" ii is well to state
here that theBe appropriations are used by the Board of
Trustees only so far as they are required for the efficient
carrying on of the Hospital and no more. The present
appropriation has not been drawn since Nov. 30, 1878.
The Physician and Purveyor of the Hospital deserve
the commendation of your Honorable Body and of the
commnnity at large for their efficient services rendered
in their respective departments, and as the work of the
physician has . of late greatly increased, your Board of
Trustees have concluded to appoint an assistant physi
cian for professional consultation and attendance at all
times when required.
The scrupulous cleanliness of the Hospital buildings,
their comparative freeness from bad air, the handsome
and carefully kept garden surroundings, all this has been
a peculiarity of thlB Institution for years past and needs
no further comment. But it is a satisfaction to all to
know that the Hospital retains this condltionof things in
every particular, and that visiting physicians from abroad
take favorable notice of it.
In looking over the list of names of those who have
been instrumental in the establishment of the Queen's
$39,399 19 Hospital twenty years ago, it is said to contemplate how
many of them have been taken away by death, and how
$39,668 48 many more are now dwelling in distant lands. From
time to time their ranka have been partially filled by new
and worthy members, but nevertheless the thought sug
gests itself that the names of many more of our fellow-
t 3,000 00 residcqtB do not as yet appear on the list of Life members
of the Queen'B Hospital, who ought to be there. I may
6,435 00 be permitted therefore in closing my report to remind
them that the Queen's Hospital needs and is worthy of
all the intelligent support and co-operation which this
community can give it, and that it solicits thlB at the
hands of its friends and wellwishers.

Yosemite* S. S. Assembly.
710 00 Editor Friend:—How it seems, across
the sea, I hardly know ; but, right here on
1,500 00
$34,057 88 the spot, the S. S. Assembly, and the erec
$5,620 60 tion and dedication of the " Yosemite Union
Chapel," are events of no little interest.
Presuming, however, that these matters may
be of sufficient importance to warrant your
$234,336 42
"...6,620 CO attention, especially as they have transpired
$239,957 02 in this famous_ locality, 1 am constrained to
send this communication. It will, at least,
have the merit of coming direct from original
sources.
The plans laid, two years ago in Oakland,
at the suggestion of Dr. Vincent, have been
most successfully accomplished. Three
weeks anterior to the time appointed for the
convention, the first lumber for the chapel
arrived in the valley, and the building was
enclosed, seated and ready for use just before
the time mentioned in the programme for
the opening exercises of the Assembly. A
fine bell, the generous gift of H. W. Bacon
of San Francisco, reached the site of the
chapel half an hour before the first Vesper
Service and was temporarily hung. Silver-
tongued it proved to be, and attuned to the
harmonious voices of the valley. The
chapel is 55x26, its site is just under Senti
nel Kock, it is of gothic architecture and sur
mounted with a slender, graceful spire. At
11 a. m. Sunday, June 8th, the dedication
occurred. Dr. Guard of Oakland delivered
the discourse, and the prayer of consecration
was offered by Joseph Cook of Boston.
The sermon was eloquent and scholarly,
the prayer, a marvel of conciseness, beauty
and power. The decorations of the pulpit
were rhododendrons and azalias. fresh and
fragpnt, from beneath the beetling brow of
£1 Capitan, and from near the foot of Vernal
Falls. Such incense as they exhaled to the
roof of this petite place of prayer ! Depend
ing from every coigne of vantage in that
roof, and draping the chandeliers, was the
olive-green mistletoe; while all around the
sides were blooming shrubs and flowers with
forms and tints unfamiliar to your readers,
and nameless, save in recent botanical nom
enclature. All things, on this occasion,
seemed conspiring to Mess this offering from
the Sunday school children of California.
During the week, the great Boston Biolo
gist delivered his celebrated lecture, " Cer
tainties in religion," and a sermon, " The
Ominipresence of God." His themes, his
rhetoric and elocution — everything about
the man, including his physique— is massive,
imposing. He brings his scientific method
" to bear upon the current issues of the day
in California. In accepting for the Chapel
Desk, an elegant Bible, he made a dash at
the new Constitution, and in behalf of his
special proteges— the " Pilgrims from the
Yellow Sea." His genius is ever on the
alert to grasp, his mind to elaborate, and his
tongue to emphasize the relations of human
ity— frequently without discretion, but never
tamely.
Dr. Vincent and Rev. Mr. Peltz vary-
largely from the paths— strait and narrow—
of primitive Christian culture, in their train
ing of the Sabbath School worker. He
must not only be pious, but profund — eru
dite in many directions. Literature and
science and art, now-a-dnys, are allied to the
oracles of God. Esthetic culture is not dis
carded, and familiarity with the sublimities
of Nature is encouraged. Hence John
Muir's loving rehearsal of the " testimony of
the rocks," has been a prominent feature in
the curriculum of the Assemby. He gave
one open and upper air lecture on Glacier
Point before 200 enthusiastic listeners, and.
filled the role of guide, philosopher and
friend to any troupe of trampers having-
enough scientific zeal to scale Inspiration
Points, and he says, and shows, •' there's a
good many of 'em." Muir is a hot adhe
rent to the frigid theory. The glacier, he
stoutly declares, made Yosemite. He total
ly dissents from Prof. Whitney's theory of
" local subsidence," and contemptuously de
nies his assertion that Yosemite is an " ex
ceptional creation ;" affirming that there are

The Silent Tower.
BY GEO. W. BuNGAY.
“Dr. John Hall's people refrained from
hanging a bell in the tower of their church,
on the corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty
fifth street, and would not even suffer the
clock to strike, lest the patients in St.
Luke's Hospital, opposite should be dis
turbed.”— Christian Union.
It rises in silence and splendor,
In the light of the smiling day;
The lesson is touching and tender
To sufferers over the way.
It points to the bells that are ringing
In heaven, unheard here below;
Where the choir celestial is singing,
Near the throne that is whiter than snow.
The music of silence is sweeter
Than the ringing of bells in towers;
It chords with the cadence whose meter
Is sweet as the wind-harp in flowers.
By the couches whose patients are sleeping,
And dreaming of visions above,
Two angels their vigils are keeping,
One is Mercy, the other is Love.
Not even the clock that's revealing
The passing away of the hour,
Can disturb, with dolorous pealing
Since Love struck it dumb in the tower.
At the last meeting of the Y. M. C. A.,
Homer and his literary productions were
discussed at length, and it may be truly
said, to the benefit of all who were present.
The written essays of the Rev. S. C. Da
mon, Dr. J. M. Whitney and William
Bowen awakened general interest and dis
cussion.
The new plan of appointing a number to
canvass a given subject instead of cumber
ing any one individual with the same, has
worked very well so far.
The subject assigned for next meeting is,
“The Future of the Chinese Empire”—a
question so closely connected with the future
of our own little Kingdom, as to merit the
most careful consideration of all interested
in Hawaii nei's hereafter.

CookE-At his residence in this city, at 8 o'clock P. M.,
on the 29th August, Jose.P.H. P. CookE, Esq., of the firm of
Castle & Cooke.
Mr. Cooke was born in Honolulu, on the 15th of June
1838, consequently was 41 years of age. His youth was
spent here. chiefly at Punahou School where he prepared
for college in company with other young men who have
attained positions of respectability and influence in this
country, and the United States, amongst others Hon. A.
F. Judd of the Supreme Bench, Dr. N. Emerson and
General Armstrong of Hampton School. He graduated
from Yale College in 1863, and immediately took the
place of his father, (who on account of ill health had
been obliged to retire from the active duties of the firm)
in the house which his father had aided in establishing.
Upon the death of the latter he became a partner.
From the time of his connection with the house in 1863
he has been known in this community as a clear sighted,
active and upright business than. He was active and in
fluential in the Fort Street Church of which he was a
member, trustee and treasurer. His presence was al
ways welcomed in the social circle. He was a good son
and brother and friend, and a beloved husband and
father. He will be missed from the business community
from the church, the social circle; but most of all from
his home, by the widow and the children whom he has
left behind. His last days though filled with pain from
which he would fain have been released, were days of
peace,—the peace which Jesus gives to his beloved. No
murmur escaped his lips in his hours of anguish, but
now he rests from his pains. To die was gain to him
though loss to us.
“The memory of the righteous is blessed.”-CoM.

any thing novel, but the triumph of the sum
mer is ol a higher, purer order, the triumph
of peace. The German industries have
been always rather lightly regarded by
other nations. The Germans have been
stigmatized as a race either of speculative,
dreamers who were content to see their
theories brought to practical account by
others, or as a nation of warriors good for the
battle-field, but unfitted for the occupations of
ordinary life. Over the frontiers their deftfin-
gered neighbors, the French, have from the
very beginning out-stripped them in all man
ufactures of a tasteful nature, and across the
channel and the Atlantic, England and
America, have been doing the same thing
with more solid and practical material.
That Germany deserves no longer the
sneers which have in other days been lav
ished upon her, will I think be acknowledged
by every one who has visited the buildings
of the Industrial Exhibition which has been
opened in Berlin this summer. I say Ger
many for though Berlin alone exhibits yet
we may trather from the industrial vigor of
the capital, what the industrial life of the
Empire is to a iarge degree.
The immense difference between the
Berlin Exhibitions of 1849 and 1879 cannot
fail to impress Berliners wilh' the growth of
their city during the intervening period. As
the Exhibition Committee state, the object
of the exhibition is to give a picture of the
collective industries of the capital, in their
extent and variety, and to destroy many
prejudices which have arisen, and to estab
lish the importance of Berlin as an indus
trial and commercial city. Accordingly for
sometime past, extensive preparations have
been underway, and the exhibition was
formally opened in the month of May, and
is proving, in all respects, a most complete
success. The exhibition buildings are situ
ated in one of the suburbs of the city, which
still bears the name which the French sol
diers who were once quartered there gave it,
in derision of its dreary, sandy desolateness,
Moabit, recalling the " land of Moab."
With time, and the growth of the city.it
has so changed its character, that now it is
certainly deserving of a better name. The
buildings cover a large tract of ground, and
are situated in the midst of beautifully ar
ranged garden-enclosures ornamented with
fountains and statues. It is exceedingly
difficult to realize that the exhibits are from
one city alone— so varied and extensive are
they that they might fairly be regarded as

long if 1 should endeavor even to mention
the most important points only. There is a
completeness and finish in the articles ex
hibited, a perfection of detail, which is at
once surprising and worthy of all admiration.
One can wander through the long halls for
hours, and then come away with the feeling
that he has not seen the half.
The triumph of the exposition, par excel
lence, is probably in trie department of
machinery. One of the exhibiting firms.
Borsig is known the world over. One of
their railway-engines of Mammoth size, is
wonderful in its power and yet exquisite
beauty of finish. The many instruments
and machines—adapted for the appliance of
electricity, are attracting much attention.
In one portion of the grounds—a small
track has been laid,—and all day long an
electrical engine is engaged in drawing
small car loads of the inquisitive who are
desirous of testing this new method of loco
motion. The silk, carpet, and woolen manu
factures—in practical operation attract large
groups of visitors.
Berlin's beautiful Porcelain ware has
long been celebrated and the exhibits in this
department are most interesting. The
bronzeware is in itself worth a visit to the
exhibition. I have never in any land seen
such superb work in iron. There is one
huge Portal here, destined for the arsenal of
Berlin, hand-beaten work which is simply
magnificent. I have rarely ever been so
impressed by the beauty of a celebrated
painting or statue, as by the almost ideal
perfection of this work of art. It is the very
embodiment of gigantic strength and artistic
beauty. Particularly worthy of note is it
that this exhibition has been especially suc
cessful in those departments of taste and
refinement in which the French have so
long held sway. It is quite time that the
world should cease running after French
fashion in dress and furniture, etc., as if to
that people alone had been entrusted the se
crets of beauty in such matters. The jewel
ry of the exhibition is beautiful in the ex
treme. Some of the first artists of the city
have furnished designs which the jewelers
have executed in a most pleasing and credit
able manner. Perhaps the feature of the
whole exhibition which has attracted the
most attention during the summer, and
formed the favorite theme of conversation in
society has been the series of "furnished
rooms." It is acknowledged that no Inter
national exhibition, not even that of last
year in Paris, has offered any thing su
perior in this line, to those in Berlin.
They have been, I may say, a source of
aesthetic pleasure to all who have been
there, so exquisitely, artistically perfect are
some of them in arrangement. As I have
before remarked they affect me like some
perfect musical harmony or a favorite poem.
There are some twenty or thirty rooms bou
doirs, libraries, reception rooms, dining sa
loons, drawing rooms, etc., furnished with
the greatest originality and variety, wi(h the
costliest of furniture and materials, in the
style of different historical periods, or after
the fancy of the artist who designed them.
One especially comes into my thoughts at
this moment, a palatial Salon, finished in
ebony, with upholstering in the most exqui
site shade of faintest olive green satin, which
lights the heavy shadows of the room, with
something of a golden radiance and sheen.
This is relieved by a narrow border of silvery
blue, the strange contrasts producing- a.
wholly delightful effect. Then follows
another apartment in the style of the GS-er-
man Benaissance. Then a lady's boudoir,
deliciously finished in blue s^un and silver,
with frescoes in exquisite taste. Here is a
superb hunting hall heavy with carved woods,
and whose inlaid floor is partly hidden by
the spreading skins and furs, and whose
walls are hung with antlers and suggestions
of the chase, all lighted by a splendid show
er of light from above, which reveals the

There is an apartment which might once
have stood in a knightly castle amid trie
forests of Thuringia, so quaint and stately is
it in its details. The sunshine streams in
through the round-window glasses in their
ancient heavy settings, and shows us the
dining hall of some valiant knight away at
the wars or wearing his lady's colors in the
strife of the Tourney. But above all there
is one apartment, which is the very materi
alization of an artist's dream. Some one
has said it would seem as if enchanted
forces had brought it hither in the stillness
of the night from some ancient Venitian
Palace. It represents a dining hall not large,
adjoining which is a smaller room or alcove.
The utmost care has been bestowed upon
its adornment and furnishing, with an utter
disregard of expense and guided by some
artist of luxuriant fancy. One is irresistably
reminded of the pictures of the modern pain

of velvet, of a deep wine color, in the sha
dow deepening in shade, bordered with
regal bands and fringes of gold, break the
sharp angles of the doors and windows, -fall
ing upon Turkish carpets in superb and
artisticly perfect waves of color. The ceil
ing and walls are a splendid union of frescoes
and tapestries. In the center of the hall
stands an antique banqueting table, from
which heavy draperies fall upon the floor,
one catches the gleam of gold and silver
plate, of rare old glass and China, and bur
nished metal. The light is softened almost
to a twilight, which gives an indescribably
beautiful effect. The sharp crude effects
of glaring sunshine, of white light, are for

fumed atmosphere of intoxicating color. I

further description of what I find it is artis

The unexpected surprises, the poetic effects
coming one after another in such marvellous
variety, are delightfully exciting at first,

more really a second time. You are lifted

are warm, deliciously toned pictures, an •

Bethel Repaired and Re-painted.
It may be said of the Bethel in Honolulu,
the same as was said of the Temple at Jeru
salem, “Forty and six years was this temple
in building.” The Bethel was dedicated as
a house for public worship in November,
1833-forty-six years ago. During nearly
one-half a century it has been opened nearly
every Sabbath for public worship, seats free;
hence, for all necessary repairs and other
expenses appeals have been made to the
public, and uniformly a generous response
has been made. It has long been apparent
that some repairs were needed. The recent
expenditures amount to a little over $1,200,
and to meet these bills about $1,000 has
already been raised, including the avails of
the Fair in May. In our next issue we
shall duly report the exact amount received
and how expended.
The Bethel will be opened for public
service on Sabbath morning, November 9th.
The Sabbath School will also be omitted
until the opening of the Chapel for public
service; but the Wednesday evening meet
ing as usual.

New Hymn-Book for the Bethel.
Among the objects of the late Fair for the
benefit of the Bethel, started by the ladies of
the choir and so generously patronised by
the community, was the purchase of a new
collection of Hymns and Music for public
worship. After examining various collec
tions, the committee finally decided upon
the one having the following title-page:

Aside from its uses as an aid to public

WALKS ABOUT BERLIN.
A recent French writer has said of Berlin:
“It is a city which presents an appearance
of strength and grandeur; has broad streets;
long lines of houses, impressing one more by
their size than by their beauty; in no way
adapted to please one. Moreover, no effort
is ever made to interest one. Here there is
but one object, to instruct and to command.
Here they know only two elements of civili
zation, the army and the university, science
and war, the discipline of the school and the
discipline of the regiment. If Munich and
Dresden are the Museums of Germany, then
is Berlin the Arsenal !”. This is a French
man's description of the Prussian Capital,
and one against which much might be said.
And yet there is some truth, I am forced to
confess, in it; though with every advancing
year of the Empire this will be less the case.
I am made aware of the lack of the poetic
too, military. There are few of those
delightful nooks which one finds in many
other cities, where one may enter into the
eloquent silence of the past; few shrines
before which one may bend, forgetful of all
else, while “far off the noises of the world
retreat.” We have no Westminster Abbey,
with its “Poet's Corner,” no Pere Lachaise,
that silent city of the silent dead; there are
not here the thousand enticing rambles of
Old Rome on the Tiber, or Florence on the
silver Arno. Still there are some points
which one seeks, with willing feet, in the
city and suburbs, connected with the names
and memories of men who, through especial
"beauty of life, or through exceptional genius,
which they have known wisely to use, have
now a distinguished place in the history of
their race. I can scarcely think now of
speaking of more than one or two of these,
leaving the others, perhaps, for other ram

was that of the highest, feted by all the

times had changed since Moses, the despised

the spirit of tenderest, most devoted love
which animated these pages. The family

host of others. We are behind the scenes.
We meet the great actors of the day, off the
stage, and learn to know them as men and
women. We listen with bated breath to the
production of some great musical work
awaiting the world's verdict, whose composi

hear the tumult of applause, share in the
showered laurels, and have a place in the
little family circle which gathers with joyful
tears and smiles, to rejoice together in the
stillness of home.
The Mendelssohn House formed one of
the most famous centers of Berlin life; ail
that was distinguished in science or letters
or music found here a place. But it is ever
about the life and work of Felix that the in
terest of the reader especially centers. One
of his biographers has said, " The early
death of Mendelssohn like that of Raphael
threw all Europe into mourning." As great
as his musical genius was the wonderful
beauty and purity of his personal character
and life, engaging and attracting all who
came at all within the range of his personal
influence. This is especially illustrated in
the " Letters " before us, those written by
him to his father and mother, and sisters—
especially that marvelously gifted sister
Fanny. His life was a busy and splendidly
prolific one; one which early ended, it is
true, but perfectly rounded out. In England,
he was especially loved; and his music is
almost as well known abroad as at home.
Among his most important works are the
exquisite " Songs without words;" the
music to the " Midsummer Night's Dream;"
the orations of " Paulus and Elijah,'' —two
of the finest musical productions of any age;
the music to " Antigone."
It is with difficulty that I force myself to
close my sketch of this remarkable family;
so singularly have they fascinated me. Such
lives are the glory of the human race; a
stimulus to all to aspire, more and more, to
the " good, the true and the beautiful." The

Mtiy we not await still further developments

record not soon to be forgotten.
SEGEL, THE HOME OF THE HUMBOLDTS.
Meadows fragrant with new mown hay;
fields golden with standing grain; bare-footed
children by the way-side, with cheeks brown
with the summer sun, and lips stained red
with- the juice of wild berries; stately forest-
reaches of pine and fir; gardens bright with
beds of brilliant flowers; a tiny church spire
among the trees; an ancient castle and
spreading park. All this lovely Idyl of the
summer and the country you may have by
driving an hour from your home in the city
nut into the suburbs. It is a delightful sur
prise — like stepping over into dream-land —
this speedy deliverance— from the houses,
the people, the endless streets, where you
live so long, scarcely realizing that a sug
gestion of Paradise is within your reach if
you take but a step in that direction. How
near, very near, the " Beautiful " comes to
us, touches us; would abide with us; lighting
the shadows of life; lessening the friction of
daily wear and tear; the wearisome, prosaic
routine, if we did but know it! But then
the mission and holy office of life is, after
all, its discovery, and this must needs be
slow. I can scarcely think any one fills up
his years without some glimpse, even if
fleeting, of the " Beautiful."
Segel is a little village, on a charming
lake of the same name—so near Berlin that
the spires and towers of the city may be
distinctly seen through the trees. Histori
cally it is interesting, as being connected
with the illustrious names of Alexander and
Willinm von Humboldt, two of the most in
teresting; the former, one of the greatest
men of modern times. About the Old Fam
ily Home of the Humboldts gathers a thou
sand associations connected with the cele
brated brothers. Here William especially
made his home in later life; and here among
the evergreens of the park they are both
buried. There is a quaint and ancient state-
liness about the place which I found singu
larly agreeable. The Manor House is
preserved very nearly as in the days when
William lived here. The rooms are filled
with choice works of art, family portraits,
statues and busts, by Thorwaldsen, Tieck
and Rauch. William's study remains just
as he left it. There are suggestions and
reminders in the bronzes in the Pompeiian
and Roman statues and sculptures of the
years he spent in Italy. The bust or painted
portrait of William or Alexander meet the
visitor at every turn, carved or colored by
some celebrated artist. A daughter of
William von Humboldt now occupies the
home of her father. The grounds are ex
tremely delightful, splendid masses of
shrubbery, avenues of trees, lovely lawns.
Near the house is the " Humboldt Oak," a
*ree of giant proportions, and perfect sym
metry; a world in itself of spreading branch
es and myriad leafy sprays, rendered doubly
green by the ivy which, with years, has
grown to its summit. Down a long, long
avenue of elms and beeches, of most beauti

ful growth, forming such a verdant cover,
that only stray arrows of ujnlight reach the
passer below,—we walk to%e family bural
place. The graves lie within a carefully
kept inclosure, from the centre of which rises
a lofty shaft of polished marble, above whose
Doric capital stands the figure of Hope with
the Lotus Flower. The original of this
beautiful statue is by Thorwaldsen, and is
preserved in the mansion, whose white walls
we see through an opening in the trees, as
if guarding the graves of the sleepers. On
every side rise ancient cypresses, the deep
green of whose somewhat sombre foliage,
blends softiy with the elms and maples in
the back-ground. It is a quiet, beautiful
spot; a fitting resting place fo* the great
men whose names, simply carved on the
head-stones of the graves, bring many
thoughts to us standing in the hush of the
little sylvan temple.
William von Humboldt was born in 1767,
and though his name is not as widely known
as that of his more celebrated brother, yet
the important services which he rendered
Prussia in a diplomatic capacity and the
world at large as a Student of Philology,
are not to be lightly estimated. He entered
early upon the diplomatic career, and be
came in time Prussian Minister in Rome,
then in Vienna and lastly in London, after
which he was appointed to one of the Prus
sian State Ministries. During his Italian
life he formed one of the most important
Literary and Art Circles of Rome, gathering
about him, and encouraging many of the
artists of the early part of this century, who
sought inspiration in that City of the Past.
But the most important work was of a phil
ological character. In the early history of
the Science of Comparative Philology, he
played an important part. His own linguis
tic attainments were of the greatest range
and perfection; his knowledge of languages
being not confined to Europe, but embracing
the American, Alrican, Asiatic and Polyne
sian tongues. His philological works on
language, and especially his muster- work in
reference to " The Kawi Language of the
Island of Java," will always' be regarded as
classics in the literature of philology.
The Humboldt name is however especial
ly dignified through the enormous and
gigantic labors of Alexander. Few lives
have been so splendidly fruitful in results,
or more widely beneficial to the cause of
scientific thought and investigation than his.
To him was granted, as to but few, the
power to solve the " Holy riddles of the
Universe," to wrest from the mute "Sphinx"
of the natural world the mystery of her
meaning. Humboldt may be regarded as
perhaps the most illustrious of those path
finders, whose office it was to open the way
to that world of splendid scientific truth, the
discovery and investigation of which is the
especial glory of our century. His import
ant social position, means, wide acquain
tance with men and with the world at large,
together with his passionate longing to dis
cover the secrets of new and untraveled
lands, led him early to enter upon those
voyages and journeys which were so splen
didly rich in their contributions to science.
Just as the last century was closing he em

the community. Willie Daimon was in the first flush of man
hood: hale, hearty and physically all that a man should
be; large-hearted, generous to a fault, concientious and
true; with ample prospects of future usefulness and
success in life; yet the fell destroyer has singled him
out. God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to
perform. The entire community symphathise deeply
with the afflicted family. The funeral was largely nt
tended from the old chaplaincy, and the services were
impressively performed by the Rev. Mr. W. Frear and
the Rev. Dr. Lowell Smith.

His Jewels.
BY ELEANOR KIRK.
When tlie Lord makes up Ilia jewels,
Choosing gems of every hue,
Pearls and diamonds, rubies, sapphires,
Showing flawless through and through,
Could 1 be the least among tbem,
Smallest gem that love could see,
And His eve detect the brightness,
That would be enough for me.
Precious stones are cut and polished,
By the lapidary's skill,
Cruel knile and rasping (riction,
Work on each the Master's will.
Not until the sparkling facets
With an equal luster glow,
Does the artist choose a setting
For the gem perfected so.
Thus I wait the royal pleasure,
And when trouble comes to me,
Smile to think He may be working
On the gem, though small it be.
All I ask is strength to bear it,
Faith and patience to be still,
Held by Him no knile can slay me,
Loving Him, no anguish kill.
EDITOR'S TABLE.
The Life and Letters of Frances, Bar
oness Bunsen. By Augustus J. C.
Hare. New York: G. Routledge &
Sons, and Anson D. F. Randolph & Co.
1879.
Some years ago we read " Memorials of
a Quiet Life," by the same author. That
volume introduced the reader to a most
choice circle ot Christians in the clerical
and higher walks of English society. The
volume now under review is substantially
the same kind of a book, but the range of
characters noticed introduces the reader to
a still wider circle of the very choicest
European Christian society. The life of
Baroness Bunsen was spent in Wales,
England, Italy, Germany and Switzerland.
Her companions were Emperors, Kings,
ambassadors and literary men and women
who moved in the very highest circle of
European society. She was the honored
guest of Queen Victoria and the Emperor of
Germany. Her husband was the renowned
historian and Egyptian scholar, the Ambas
sador of Germany at Rome and in Le-mlon.
It is not to the public career of this noble
Christian woman that we would so much call
attention as to her sweet, gentle, charming
Christian life in the bosom of her own fam
ily, and surrounded by her twelve sons and
daughters. We feel quite sure every mother
in Christendom would think she had a
sympathising sister in the Baroness if she
were to read this volume. She came from
a most excellent family stock—that of the
Waddingtons, to which the eminent French
statesman belongs. In quietly glancing
through the thousand pages of this volume
it is most instructive to trace out the various
links connecting families in England and
Germany. Did our limits allow, we could
add much in commending this volume to
the perusal of the public.
Her range of reading was extensive, and
her criticisms upon literary and theological
books eminently thoughtful and practical.
She closes a notice of Buckle's book on
!' Civilization," wherein he endeavors, from
a wide range of historical research, to estab
lish the principle of atheism, with this para
graph from page 399 :
" The reply to all attempts to stigmatize
the religion of Christ as the cause of evil is
unanswerable, as the fact is and remains,
that the faith which causes sin and misery
is not the faith of Christ, but a system false
ly so called, which the greatest foes of the
Gospel cannot deny, if ever they can be
brought to comprehend what is the Gospel
and what the error of man presuming to in
terpret the word of God."
On the 24th of May, 1870, she thus
writes one of her sons—on page 410—refer
ring to the unseen world, to which her hus
band had taken his departure :
"In the regions to which your dear father
has attained there is fulness of joy, fulness
of work, fulness of object, for the fitted facul
ties, and the contributions of earth, however
precious here, would have the flavor of sor
row, even if they could reach the abode of
blessedness. And yet there are two stanzas
of a hymn which I found written out in
Theodora's hand— 1 know not whence copied
—which strike my feelings with the melody
of truth :
" Do I forget—O no ;
For memory's golden ehain
Still biuds my beart to the hearts below,
Till they meet to (oucb again.
" Each link is strong arid bright,
And love's electric flume
Flows freely down like a river of light
To the world from whence I came."
Ohio Men in the Sandwich Islands.
Some Few who do not Hold Office,
[minister comly in the OHIO state journal.]
We are in receipt of papers from Honolulu,
Hawaiian Islands, giving accounts of the exami
nations of the schools and colleges there.
Among items of interest thereabout we notice
that Missfiitze receives special mention for her
efficiency as a teacher in Mr. Atkinson's school.
In the same Bchool, one of Moliere's com
edies waB presented in the original, in which
Guy and Smith Comly, sons of the American
Minister, took part. Smith (the youngest) re
ceives special mention in ono of the Honolulu
papers. " Incog.; or Fine Feathers Make Fine
Birds," was also presented, by Masters Hay and
Guy Wodebouse, sons of the English Commis
sioner ; Charles Carter, son of the late Minister
of Foreign Affairs and Envoy to England and
Germany ; G. Wilder, son of the Hawaiian Min
ister of the Interior ; Guy Comly and otherB.
Both representations are highly praised. Susie
Comly recited Aldrich's •' Baby Bell," and re
ceived much applause. Among the pieces on
the programme we find the Gen. Lytic s " I am
Dying, Egypt."
At Punahou College we find the Columbus
names of Freddie and Annie Armstrong, grand
children of William Armstrong, Town Btreet.
Rev. D. Hyde, President of Oahu Theologicnl
Seminary, is an uncie of Mr. Hyde, of Robbins
& Hyde, this city.
Lorin Andrews, late President of the Lahaina-
luna College, author of the Hawaiian Dictionary
and a treatise on the language, was a cousin of
the President of Marietta College and Prof. E. B.
Andrews, of the Ohio Geological Survey, and
was educated in Ohio, we believe at Ohio
University.'
By the way, Mr. Atkinson is a son of the two
great English travelers, husband and wife, of
that name. In his mother's book, " Travels in
Siberia and the Khirgis Steppes," she mentions
his birth, and that he was named Alatau Tam-
chiboulac, after the mountain and spring where
he was born. He is an accomplished linguist,
musician and artist, and one of the best teachers
in the world.
While on this subject we may as well mention
that the leading dentist of the islands is Dr.
Whitney, graduate of Starling Medical College,
son-in-law of L. L. Rice, formerly private secre
tary of Gov. Chaso ; the leading physician is Dr.
John S. McGrew, formerly of Cincinnati, and
Medical Director of a Department in the south
west during the whole of the late war ; the best
photographer is Mr. Dickson, lute of Cincinnati,
brother of Bates Dickson, Adjutant-General on
Thomas' Muff; the engineer of the • Hawaiian
steamer lAketike, was an engineer an the old
Piqua rmul, and so on. In fact, the islands are
full of Ohio men, and some of them do not hold
office.
Among those booked for departure by the
steamer on Monday next we note the names of
the Hon. H. A. P. Carter. Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary to Germany ; and
Hie Honor A. Francis Judd, First Associate Jus
tice of the Supremo Court. Mr. Carter takes
with him the Treaty between this Kingdom and
the Empire of Germany, as ratified by His Majes
ty the King and approved by the Emperor, hut
which' has yet to be submitted to the German
Parliament before finally going into effect. So
far as we have learned in regard to the leading
features of this Treaty, we are induced to express
the hope that the other powers of Europe with
which we have commercial relations may be in
clined, on examination, to adopt its equitable
provisions in their negotiations with this Archi
pelago. Our affairs in this respect are safe in the
hands of Mr. Carter. Mr. Justice Judd, as we
are informed, proposes to spend the coming win
ter among his relatives in the old city ol Albany,
N. Y. The Judge is Hawaiian born, but we
doubt not he will learn to appreciate the " ruler
of the inverted year," uud say with Cowper :
" I crown thee King of intimate delights,
Fire-side enjoyments, home-burn happiness.
And all the comforts that the household roof
Of undisturb'd retirement, and the hours
Of long uninterrupted evening, know."
—P. C. Advertiser, Oct. 25.
Miss Gordon Cumming. — Dr. Gulick
thus writes from Yokohama, under d&tc of
August 9th : " Miss Gordon Cumming is
here, and famous as she is, as a traveler, she
has been stimulated by Miss Bird to visit
the Hawaiian Elysium. We are experien
cing an epidemic of cholera. Some 20,000
have died in the central regions of the
Empire, and it has reached Yokohama ; but
it is not severe among us."

cities. It is pleasantly situated on the river

the port of the first-mentioned city. Through

where I am writing lies WUhelmshaven , a
most important harbor for the war vessels of
Germany, yearly becoming more so with the
additional attention which Germany is pay
ing to her navy. The docks and works are
on a vast scale. During the Franco-German
war the German fleet lay here in perfect
safety and security. Following the railway
route, I passed through the Grand Duchy of
Oldenburg, an exceedingly flat and not
especially interesting region. As one ap
proaches Enulen on the Dollart, the cdun-
try begins to assume very much of the
aspect of Holland. The vast arms of wind
mills are outlined on the misty horizon, and
the towns and villages are intersected by
canals. Emden is the largest and most im
portant town of East Erisia. For me, this
quiet city, with its ancient buildings and
massive " Rath-haus," had a peculiar wel
coming charm. It seemed to stand as an
outpost on the borders of that land which,
through so many centuries of varied history,
of fierce trial and valiant struggle, has at
tained its present peace and security. Delf-
zyl, the first town of Holland, lies opposite
Emden on the Dollart. Emden was the
haven of refuge of thousands of persecuted
English Protestants during the cruel reign of
Bloody Mary and ft other times. In one
of the churches of the city is still to be seen
a carving in stone representing a ship in a
tempestuous sea, beneath which are these
words :
" Godts Kerck vervolgt verdrcven
Ileelc Godt hyr trooet gegeren."
God's Church persecuted, driven away,
Has through God received her consolation.
It was placed there by grateful English
refugees, who in 1553, after three months'
weary wandering, at length reached here in
safety. One of the finest collections of
ancient armor in Germany is to be seen in
Emden—a striking reminder of those fierce
and bloody contests which for so long a
period raged on the northern coast. The
Dollart, now a wide bay opening into the
North Sea, is the result of one of those ter
rible victories of the wild North Sea over
the adjoining coast, which from century to
century have proved so disastrous to life and
property. Here one Christmas night long
ago, in 1277, the mighty sea bore in over
the land and swept beneath its dark waters
some fifty villages, establishing here its
sway, so that to-day our steamer cuts the
waves where once were pasture lands and
pleasant homes and hundreds of peaceful
families. The lands-people would have us
believe that in still weather the gilded spires
of the churches and the gables of the houses
may still be seen far down beneath the
waves. Certainly no loving, gentle neigh
bor has the sea been. The old chronicles
tell us that along the coast in past centuries
more than half a million of human beings
have fallen its victims. At another time I
may take occasion to speak of the Zuider
Zee and its history. In our neighborhood,
too, lies the strange little island of Heligo
land (holy land), which was taken by Eng
land in 1807, and which that country still
retains. It is scarcely more than a huge
rock in the midst of the waves. Its inhabit
ants are Frisians, and retain many peculiar
and interesting customs. We are but an
hour or two from the Dutch const, and over
our western horizon lies " Old England."
" Tbalatta ! Thalatta! eei tuir gegi ust,
Du ewiges Meer !"—Heinr. Heine.
M. Taine, in his most instructive and
delighful essay on " The Philosophy of Art
in the Netherlands," says : " The Northern
Ocean is hostile to man. For thirteen cen
turies a great inundation has taken place on
an average every seven years, besides smal
ler ones ; one hundred thousand persons
were drowned in 1230, eighty thousand in
1287, twenty thousand in 1470, thirty thous
and in 1570, and twelye thousand in 1717.
Similar disasters occurred in 1776, in 1808,
and still later in 1825. Dollart Bay, about
seven miles wide by twenty deep, and Zuy-
der Zee, forty-four leagues square, are inva
sions of the sea in the 13th century. In
order to protect Friesland, it was necessary
to drive three rows of piles a distance of
twenty-two leagues, each pile costing seven
florins. To protect the coast of Harlem they
had to build a dyke of Norway granite five
miles long by forty feet in height, and which
is buried two hundred feet beneath the
waves. Amsterdam, which has two hundred
and sixty thousand inhabitants, is entirely
built on piles, frequently thirty feet long.
The foundations of every town and village
in Friesland are artificial constructions. It
is estimated that seven and a-halt billions of
francs have been expended on protective
works between the Scheldt and the Dollart.
Ljfe has to be purchased, and when from
Harlem or Amsterdam yon see the enor
mous yellow surf beating against that nar
row strip of mud and enclosing it as far as
the eye can reach; it is evident that man, in
casting this sop to the monster, obtains safe
ty at a low rate."
J have quoted these facts in the very
presence of the sea itself, whose incoming
waves are breaking in long lines of foam,
with a deep, hoarse, monotonous cry, on the
yellow sands at my feet. One might al
most fancy that it had divined the meaning
of the foregoing words, and in its dull, sav
age way exulted in this acknowledgment of
its cruel power. For a number of days of
this summer the North Sea has been my
constant companion, a source of continual
fascination and repulsion. There still seems
to linger in its waters a wild, untamed,
heathenish life, which has seen the downfall
of the ancient faith which once celebrated
here its rites ; has survived the wreck of the
fierce and wildly poetic mythology of the
North ; has witnessed the ever onward
march of Christianity with sullen indiffer
ence. On its shores have been enacted
many of the sublimest events in human his
tory ; it has been witness to the birth of all
that is most glorious and beautiful in mod
ern freedom and liberty. Across its troubled
waters have swept some of the proudest
fleets the world has ever seen. The fierce
Vikings of the North have cut its foam with
the d«rk prows of their vessels ; the most
terrible naval battles have thundered here;
the flnfrs oi nations for centuries have
pierced its grey mists ; the costliest cargoes
from the far off Indies, cargoes of rare East
ern stuffs, of spices, of gold, of precious
stones, have brought the glory of the Orient
to the gloomy North—and too oft sunk be^
neath these furious waves. We have seen
how for ages it has been at war with man,
who seems to have gained an almost super
human strength and courage through his
long contest with the ever-threatening sea.
He has never yielded. If the waves threat
ened to engulph him, he has remained faith
ful to the last. From father to son has this
warfare with the sea been passed onward as
an unending heritage. 1 can conceive of
scarcely a more sublime study for the genius
of a painter than this. Michael Angelo
alone might have represented it. The soli
tary figure of a man of heroic stature, alone
in an endless storm, facing a wild sea of
tawny foam. The green, fierce, hissing
waters at times break upon his breast, rising
like a cliff amid the waves; they wash, in
their restless march, the sands from beneath
his feet, but he clings to the rocks till the
foothold is regained. It is a struggle for
.ife ! The suns and rains of ages have beat
upon that earnest, glorious face. The
muscles have grown strong and rig. das iron.
The winds lift the yellow, flaxen hair, which
gleams like a sunbeam against the blacken
ing ekies ; the greet blue eyes gaze un
daunted over the tempest of the waves, and
grow more brave, more earnest, more beau
tiful as the conflict grows more terrible.
One may indeed feel it to be a privilege to
breathe the air, which has been the life and
inspiration of the giants of these northern
shores, whose marvelous and untireing strug
gles with the sea is one of the wonders ot
history.
DIE DEUTSCHE SEE-RETTDNGS GESELLSCHAFT,
or Society for the Preservation of Life in
case of shipwreck, is one of the most inter
esting and important of German organiza
tions. Some hundred years ago, at the time
when the first Eddystone Light House on
the British Coast was in process of erection,
there chanced to be war between England
and France. A boat load of English work
men, engaged upon the structure of the
light house, were taH en prisoners by a French
cruiser. They were however immediately
sent back to their work by the French Mon
arch with much ceremony, and with the
word that the war he was waging, was with
the King of England, and not with man
kind. As one caiches here and there the
gleam of the faithful lights from the many
noble towers which now skirt the shores of
these northern waters, and as one reads
the records of the heroic efforts constantly
made with the life-boats to bring rescue to
those struggling for life amid the waves, no
matter of what nationality, one realizes that
there is a brotherhood of sympathy which
can rise superior to all the distinctions of
blood and race, and national jealousy. The
German Ocean is one of the stormiest in the
world, and thousands of noble vessels have
gone down beneath these angry waters. In
1860 arose an organization in Germany to
provide, so far as possible, means of rescue
in case of shipwreck. The funds are mainly
obtained from private sources nil over the
empire. All along the coast there are sta
tions with men and life boats, and the ar
 THE
rangements are as perfect as possible under
the circumstances. Over and over again,
during the brief history of the Society, have
those who have in any w&y contributed to
its support, had reason to rejoice at the good
work it has done. May this still go forward
a source of hope and consolation to all those
who are called to face the wintry storms of
this most tempestuous sea !
EAST FR1SIA AND ITS PEOPLE.
A people born for freedom are the Frisi
ans, and to this hardy, great-hearted people
of this bleak northern coast, is the world
to-day indebted for the preservation of the
noblest of human rights, liberty of thought
and action. Their grand watch-word rings
like a clarion-blast down the centuries :
" The Frisian shall be free so long as the
wind blows out of the clouds and the world
stands !" To which one seems to hear from
their descendants, whether here by the rest
less surge of the North Sea, or in the neigh
boring British Isles, or in the distant Conti
nent of America, from Plymouth Rock to
the Golden Gate, the response of a fervent
" Amen !" East Frisia is a portion of that
vast plain which extends from the extremity
of Jutland to the mouth of the Scheldt. It
is a little corner of the earth to-day, exerting
but little influence and interesting but few;
but for those few it has a remarkable fasci
nation and attraction. The population
to-day numbers something like 200,000,
living in five or six considerable towns and
numerous villages, or scattered in little set
tlements along the coast. To a remarkable
degree have the East Frisians preserved
their old and simple life. The dreariness of
much of the land, its isolated situation, its
not very especial political importance, have
all had an influence in keeping the race free
from " modernizing " influences, and this
renders a study of the people exceedingly
interesting. Their long struggle of centu
ries with the ocean, their indomitable ener
gy in over-coming the difficulties of their
situation, the stillness and quiet of their
lives far away from the noise and din of the
great world, has left its traces on heart as
well -as body. They are still an earnest,
noble, simple folk, true and brave and loyal
to their Heavenly and Earthly Heads, and
in this pure loyality, still free as the wind
blowing out of the clouds.
THE ISLAND OF NORDENEY
has come of late years to be the favorite sea
side resort ot Germany. As I mentioned
above it is one of the chain of the East Fris
ian Islands, bordering the main land. It is
at low tide, in fact joined to the coast by a
long sandy tract called the " Watt," hidden
by the waves at flood. For the accom
modation and amusement of the thousands
of summer visitors— hundreds of buildings
have sprung up on the sands where once
stood the little humble fishing village, and
to-day it presents a charming picture as you
approach it from the sea, or wander through
its quaint winding streets. There are spaci
ous hotels and pleasure grounds, groves and
gardens. The fisher-folk vie with each
other in making their cottages pleasant and
inviting, and they are of immaculate cleanli
ness. Like a bit of fairy-land seems this
little summery garden, with its flowers and
trees, and gaily colored flags, in comparison
with the dreary reaches of the " dunes."
FRIEND, DECEMBER,
Everything is done, in the power of the
management, to interest and amuse the
numerous guests. There is here nothing
like the splendor and fashion of Trouville or
Ostend, but infinitely more solid comfort and
pleasure, and at a very much cheaper rate,
and every one seems contented. When the
weather is fine nothing could be more charm
ing than a day here, beginning with an early
morning concert in the fresh sweetness of the
new day, then promenades and bathing, and
more music and an excellent dinner at one
of the capital hotels, and in the evening va
rious amusements. One can hear a splendid
concert three times day, and the music of
the great masters and the less, mingles from
morning till night with the grander music of
the waves, or some Italian Diva comes here
to trill her opera airs for the amusement of
the guests, There are boating parties, fish
ing excursions, reunions, displays of fire
works and so on ad infinitum.
STRAND PICTURES.
Few watering places in the world possess
so fine a beach as Nordeney For full two
miles it stretches otl broad, smooth, fine and
hard, forming a splendid promenade. Nat
urally this is the most frequented point of
the Island, and presents at nearly all hours
of the day and on into the evening a most
animated and picturesque appearance. In
the palmy days of Hannoverian rule, it was
the lavorite resort of the Hannoverian King
and Court in summer. It is a gathering of
forces from all parts of Germany from East,
north, South and West. Some six hundred
gentlemen and as many ladies bathe here at
their separate beaches every day; and in
sunny mornings the beach is a place for inter
esting study. Here you see portly and
stalely Hamburg and Bremen merchants with
their families, dignified and rotund enough
to have figured in the gr-ive deliberations of
the Hanseatic League. Near by are a group
of German "pastors" with their white cravats
and benevolent faces, and followed closely
by a Jewish rabbi or two, with patriarchal
amplitude of beard. The Jews here are to
be seen in great numbers. Every other face
seems to be Semetic. Singular how this
curious race retains its peculiarities not
alone of character but of gait, of profile, of
fonn, century after century, and in all lands.
A strange little group is that of a company
of Polish Jews, who go about in long and
gloomy black coats or frocks, reaching nearly
to the ground, ai.d perched among the dunes
or on the sands. The Jews have here a
little synagogue. The beach is enlivened
by the presence of hundreds of ladies and
little children in summer costumes, some ex
ceedingly pretty, some quite the reverse.
For German ladies have scarcely the chic
in dress of their French and American sis
ters. You see wee-bits of children toddling
about in the moist sand, and shouting in
their glee as the white foam bathes their lit
tle pink feet; a flaming red cap of a gymna
sium student brings a dash of color in pass
ing. There are professors in spectacles,
lawyers, doctors, all, unbending for these
days of " dolce far niente " at the sea-side.
Russians, Hollanders, English and French
give a cosmopolitan air to the scene. The
beach is cove ed with huge " baskets," so
arranged with seats and "visor'' that gen
tleman with cigars, old ladies with their
1879 85
knitting, and young Germany with books
from the " library," can enjoy the sands and
be safe from the sun. Every now and then
you see one of these great wicker-work af
fairs walking off in the most remarkable
manner, looking for all th« world like huge
snail-shells in motion, but from which
emerges directly the rosy-face of some Fris
ian woman. Bright-eyed little maidens dart
hither and thither with trays of fruit and
sweetmeats for sale, and flaxen haired boys
peddle shrimps, which find a ready market.
F'rom early morning till two o'clock in the
afternoon the flying of the red flags on the
beach announce the bathing time. The gen
tlemen have their portion reserved at one
end of the beach and the ladies the other.
The break of the waves here is superb, and
when the right wind is on one may bathe in
the most glorious of white surf. The ar
rangements are very simple and admirable.
You give your ticket to the ''Bade-meister,"
and he assigns you to one of the "machines,"
little houses on wheels, which are drawn by
horses out into the midst of the waves, into
which you can dip at your pleasure. But
this is generally quick work, as the water of
the North Sea is by no means as miid as
that of our summer seas, and a few moments
suffice.
At evening the strand is covered with pro-
menaders—and a glorious stroll it is— with
the delicious air sweeping in over the sea,
the very elixir of life. It is an ever chang
ing view. Days of storm with heavy and
furious winds, dark rain clouds rising up
from the southwest and sudden squalls, are
followed by splendid days of sunshine with
bending heavens of blue, crossed by vagrant
bands of fleecy cloud.
The sun sets, a great crimson ball in a
cloudless west, then the darkness gathers
swiftly over the lead-colored waters flecked
with white, and at last most beautiful of all
rises the silver moon, lighting the infinite
spaces of the cloudless sky with her azure
splendor, as she keeps her heavenly watch
through the passing hours above the mur
muring sea.
But after all nothing is so interesting as a
study of the Island people themselves, who
are as much a part of Nordeney as the sand
dunes. They are a brave, hardy, noble peo
ple, thorough Frisians. Of late years they
have devoted themselves entirely during the
summer to caring for the many visitors who
flock here for the air and sea-baihing. But
with the departure of the last summer guest
they turn themselves to more earnest and
serious things—they are true children of the
North Sea, a hardy fisher-folk, strong of
limb, and with sinews and muscles of steel,
as much at home on sea as on land, in fact
more so, for they seem to gain a grace and
ease nmid the waves, or managing a boat on
a troubled sea, which is utterly lacking to
them on land. In that gallery of pictures
which is slowly rearing itself from the mem
ory of travel in various lands, to no portrait
shall I give a mure honored place than to
that of the brave and faithful fisherman of
Nordeney, in whose kind but earnest eyes
I shall ever read the old watch-word and greet
ing of his fore-fathers. Eala freyafresena !
Hail thou free J*Hsian !
F. W. Damon.
Nordeney, August 28th, 1S79.

M THE
THE FRIEND.
DECEMBER 1. I 879.
[By our Berlin Correspondent, F. W. Damon.]
The Late Dr. Joseph P. Thompson.
The American colony of Berlin has been
saddened, within the space of less than one
short year, by the death of two distinguished
representatives, men widely known and ten
derly loved on both sides of the Atlantic.
The first, that of the genial traveler and
graceful poet, Bayard Taylor ; the second,
within a few weeks, that of the Rev. Doctor
Thompson, American Divine, Author and
Scholar. The sad news of Dr. Thompson's
death will bring sorrow to a large circle of
friends and admirers, both in the old world
and the new. The great and extensive labors
of ihis most brilliant and active mind are
undoubtedly well known to you. He en
tered, at an early age, upon the work of the
ministry, giving from the very first indica
tions of distinguished ability and fitness for
his chosen profession. For a long series of
years he held one of the loremost clerical
positions in New York City, as Pastor of
the great and influential Broadway Taber
nacle Church. During the Civil War of
America, he spoke vi ith a clarion voice in
the cause of Liberty and Right, and in that
Temple of Freedom and Peace, which rose
from the battle-fields of that mighty conflict,
his name must ever hold an enduring place.
His extensive travels in Egypt and Palestine
resulied in most interesting and important
works on those lands, and he may be said to
have first directed study in the new world to
the land of the Pyramids and the Sphynx.
His somewhat impaired health obliged him
to come to Europe several years since, and
he fixed his home in the German Capital. In
Europe he has led a life of constant literary
activity, and during the years of his resi
dence here, he may have been said to have
been one of the links between Germany and
America. This is no place for a list of his
varied works. They cover a wide field ; all
animated by a noble, elevated. Christian
tone and marked with the stamp of original
talent. Distinguished as he was, in every
clerical and scholarly post, it is especially in
this sphere, where the great qualities of his
heart and character were manifest, that he
will be especially missed. My own personal
loss is too fresh and great to permit of my
speaking as I would, in these first days, of
that great, warm, noble, loving nature which
strengthened and rejoiced all those who came
within its genial influence. To-day, hundreds
of hearts mourn the loss of a Father or
Brother. His Christianity was of the
broadest, sweetest, healthiest character, free
from the slightest trace of asceticism or nar
rowness. His home was open to all, and in
his heart there was a welcome awaiting old
and young. Brave, noble, heroic man. We

surf that was running, but we had yet to
learn how excellently these Islanders handle
their boats, for in a very short time we saw
them coming out through it, and ere long
some were aboard with a quantity of fruit
and vegetables, which were most acceptable
to us after a 35 days cruise.
It affords me the greatest pleasure to re
cord that they are all deeply and unaffected
ly religious, and their devoted loyalty to our
Most Gracious Queen knows no bounds,
this was testified to in a manner equally im
pressing as pleasing by their behavior at the
landing and subsequent opening of an Ameri
can organ, which we had conveyed to them
as n present from the Queen. The greatest
part of the population came down to witness
its arrival and watched with the most intense
anxiety its passage through the surf, and
immediately the boat was through, willing
hands hauled her quickly up high and dry,
and soon the organ was being borne in tri
umph up the hill to the church. I ought
here to remark that this building is kept
both clean and neat. As soon as possible
the outer case was torn off, and the first air
played in Pitcairn on Her Majesty's gift was
" God save the Queen,"' all the inhabitants
joining in the hymn with a fervor and en
thusiasm that left no doubt as to their earn
estness; they tried hard to condense their
thanks to the Queen into writing, but Infancy
nothing could show their gratitude more
than the hearty way in which they sang our
National hymn. To sum up the character
of these people, it may be said of them that
they are fairly industrious and well educated;
that appirently they live in a state of the
most perfect harmony, the whole population
(93) appearing as one large happy family,
all working for the common good; that they
are all imbued with a deeply religious feel-
It is very confusing to discover who you
are talking to on the Island, as there are
only five family names amongst all the peo
ple, consequently to avoid the confusion
caused by there being about seven Mr.
Youngs and five or six Mr. Christians, they
are assuming surnames, thus one of the
Christians has taken unto himself the name
of Downes, and is bringing up a family un
der that cognomen, and one of the Youngs
calls himself Selwyn; if this style of things
continues it will be difficult, in a few gene
rations, to trace the people's connection with
the original Bounty mutineers.
With regard to the American, Peter But
ler, who is spoken of in Admiral de Horsey's
report as a " doublful acquisition," the Isl
anders gave a very good account of him,
stating that he always behaved ns one of
them, and the two oldest men on the Island
told me they had no fault to find with him,
however, some little time ago he left the
place in a schooner trading to Samoa, in
company with two of the Pitcairners, they
have since returned, but at the tune of our
visit he was still away. His wife believes
that he will return, but the rest of the paople
appear to think otherwise.
I may also add that one of the people
asked me if Father Damon of Honolulu was
yet alive, with this 1 will conclude my des
cription of Pitcairn.

Professor' i Alexander's Lecture*
By invitation of the Y. M. C. A., this
gentleman delivered his second Lecture at
the Lyceum, on Tuesday evening, Novem
ber 25th, to a highly appreciative audience.
His subject, the 11 Ruins of Thebes," in
Upper Egypt. Having recently visited that
part of the world and read extensively re
specting the city with its " hundred gates,"
about which Homer sung, the Lecturer, was
enabled to present a most vivid and life-like
picture of a region renowned in history and
poetry, in prophesy and tradition. It re
quired no very strong flight of the imagina
tion, to fancy one's self, addressing one of
those old mummies in the language of the
anonymous poet :
And thon hast walk'd about (how Btrange a story !)
In Theben's streets three thousand years ago,
When the Memnonium was in all Its glory.
And time had not begun to overthrow
Those temples, palaces, and piles stupendous,
Of which the very ruins are tremendous.
Speak ' for thou long enough hast acted Dummy,
Thou hast a tongue—come, let us hear Its tune:
Thou'rt standing on thy legs, above ground, Mummy t
Revisiting the glimpses of the moon,
Not like thin ghosts or disembodied creatures,
But with thy boiones and flesh, and limbs and features
Tell us—for doubtless thou canst recollect,
To whom should we assign the sphinx's fame?
Was Cheops or CephreueB architect
Of either Pyramid that bears bis name 7
Is Pompey's pillar really a misnomer?
Had Thebes a hundred gates, as sung by Homer?
Perhaps thou wert a Mason, and forbidden
By oath to tell the mysteries of thy trade,
Then say what secret melody was hidden
In Memnon's statue which at sunrise played?
Perhaps thou wert a Priest—if so, my struggles
Are vain Egyptian priest ne'er owned their juggles
Perchance that very hand, now pinioned flat.
Has hob-a-nobb'd with Pharaoh glass to glass;
Or dropped a halfpenny in Homer's hat,
Or doffed thipe own to let Queen Dido pass,
Or held, by Solomon's own invitation,
A torch at the great Temple's dedication.
I need not ask thee If that hand, when armed,
Has any Roman soldier mauled and knuckled,
For thou wert dead, and buried, and embalmed,
Ere Romulus and Remus had been suckled—
Antiquity appears to have begun
Long after thy primeval race was ruu.
Since first thy form was in this box extended,
We have, above ground, seen Borne strange mutations;
The Roman empire has begun and ended;
New worlds have risen—we have lost old nations,
And countless kings have into dust been humbled,
While not a fragment of thy flesh has crumbled.
Didst thou not hear the pother o'er thy head.
When the great Persian conqueror, Gambyses,
March'd armies o'er thy tomb with thundering tread
O'erthrew Osiris, Orus, Apis, IhIb,
And shook the Pyramids with fear and wonder,
When the gigantic Memnon fell asunder?
We would merely add, tbat Professor
Alexander is a good illustration of the re
mark, that, one brings away from a land
through which he travels, in proportion to
what he takes with him ! Dean Stanley
writes most intelligently upon Palestine,
but he says, " I read every page and even
the foot-notes of Robinson's three octavo
volumes on Palestine," besides many other
books of history and travels.

AMERICAN THANKSGIVING.
In accordance with established custom and in
response to the invitation of Gen. Comly, U. S.
Minister Resident, American citizens generally
sojourning or residing in Honolulu, observed
Thursday last, the 27th instant, as a day of
thanksgiving. The Stores and places of business
of leading American houses were closed. We
noticed two Amorican vessels in port, out of eight,
that recognized the day by a display of bunting,
the Ella, of San Francisco being profusely deco
rated. At 11 a. m. a large concourse of American
residents assembled at the Fort street Church for
Divine Service. There was a lair sprinkling of
other nationalities, among whom was H. R. □.
tbe Heir Apparent and His Excellency the
Hawaiian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and sever
al of the Foreign Consular corps.
The services commenced with a voluntary on
the organ, followed by singing the doxology,
" Praise God from whom nil blessings flow; Invo
cation; reading of the 128th Psalm; Singing by
the cboir; Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Frear; Sing
ing by the choir and congregation of Mrs.
Hemans' beautiful byuin:
" The breaklDg waves dashed high
On a stem and rockbound coast,
And the woods against a stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed."
The sermon by Rev. Dr. Damon was somewhat
out of the beaten track of tbe ordinary thanks
giving discourse. Taking his text from Luke
6:38—" Give, and it shall be given unto you,"
tbe speaker proceeded to give an exceedingly able
and interesting dissertation on Reciprocity, as
exemplified in the present times throughout the
world. First, in Commerce; second, in Science;
third, in Literature; and fourth, in Christianity.
It will readily be seen that the materials in any
one of these subdivisions are ample for a discourse
in itself, and consequently only a brief but com
prehensive review of each was made. Towards
the close, the Reverend speaker alluded some
what fully to the " Chinese question," which has
attracted of late so much attention in the East
and California. While it is a question in some
minds whether tbe Chinese invasion, with which
these Islands are now threatened, is a legitimate
cause for thanksgiving, or constitutes a fitting
subject for fasting and prayer,— we all know the
rosy hue it assumes in the eyes of a few among
us, prominent among whom is the always enthu
siastic and genial preacher of our Thanksgiving
sermon. Aside from tbe more than contented
reference to the prospective influx or Chinese, the
discourse was an excellent one, which we should
like to see printed.
At the conclusion of the sermon, the grand an
them, so familiar to every patriotic American—
" My country, 'tis of thee,
I Sweet land of liberty, ^
Of thee I sing 1"
was given by the choir, the whole congregation
joining in with an emphnsis that made the
church rin^.

What is to be Done with Our New
Immigrants ?
Some days ago a good Christian brother
and friend of humanity came to the Editor
of the Friend, with the following commun
ication. He expressed the wish that the
Friend would call the attention of the
Christian community to the subject of doing
something for the evangelization of the
Chinese. This is just what •' the Friend
proper " and " the Friend, Y. M. C. A.,"
have been endeavoring to do for years. In
addition to what is now being done, this
would seem to be demanded, to obtain as
soon as possible a missionary to labor among
the Chinese and direct colportage, who
understands the Chinese language. The
Christian and Chinese communities need to
be brought into greater sympathy and to un
derstand each other better, by a free inter
change of thought and opinion.
For the Friend.
" What is to be done with our new immi
grants? This is the great question of the
day, both religiously and politically. That
they are to form the great bulk of our future
population there can be no doubt. What
they have been at the homes they have left
and what they may be in their adopted
homes here, will depend on circumstances.
Having been brought up in their own coun
try under the -parental restraints taught by
Confucius, they have continued to be from
age to age a moral people, but with a few
exceptions they are a heathen people. They
have no respect for the Sabbath and no
knowledge of Christianity.
" Now comes the question, what is to be
the effect of such a large influx of heathen
ism on these islands, where Christianity has
been so recently established? Which way
is the tide of influence to turn? If Chris
tians here can bring the power of religion to
bear upon them so as to influence them in
the right direction, all will be well. If not,
what is to become of our Sabbath and our
religious institutions ? H. D.
Remains of Gigantic Animals Discover
ed in Ice.— Russian geologists are making
preparations to promote the further discovery
of congealed remains of mammoth animals
in Siberia. It is stated that during the last
two centuries at least 20,000 mammoths,
and probably twice or thrice that number
have been washed out of the ice and soil in
which they were imbedded, by the action of
spring floods. The tusks have only been
preserved for the;r commercial value as
ivory. An effort is now to be made for the
discovery and preservation of- one of these
carcasses as perfect and entire as possible,
as it is considered that microscopic investi
gation of the contents of its stomach might
throw a powerful light on a host of geologi
cal and physiological problems.

INTERNATIONAL RECIPROCITY.
A Thanksgiving Discourse Preached la the Fort
Street tifcareh, Honolnln, Nov. 27, 1879, oa the
Occasion oj the Aunnal American Thanksgiving.
BY REV. S. C. DAMON, D. D.
Luke vi, 38 : '* Give and it shall be given unto yoo."
Giving and receiving something in return is ic
accordance with u great principle established in
both the natural and spiritual world. " Give,
and it shall be given unto yoo," is the broad and
comprehensive declaration of Hiiu who spake as
Dcver wan spake. The great Apostle, Paul
elaborates the same idea when be asserts, " He
which soweth bountifully shall reap also bounti
fully, and he which soweth sparingly shall reap
also sparingly ;*' and again, " Whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap;" while David
presents the same idea in a poetical form, They
that sow in tears shall reap in joy." Let
no one imagine that these Scriptural utter
ances have merely a religious and spiritual
bearing. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the
great English philosopher and poet of the
past generation, remarks in one of bis Lay
Sermons, that in Scripture is contained all
genuine and profound statesmanship. Herein is
distinctly recognised and involved the principle of
Reciprocity. The Rev. A. W. Loomis, author of
a volume on " Confucius and the Chinese Clas
sics," remarks on reciprocity : " We have said
that we find in the writings of the sages that
which reminds us somewhat of the precept,
• Love thy neighbor as thyself;' and yet we have
not found quite that. We have the golden rule
several times stated in its negative form, 1 Do not
HONOLULU DKCEMBEB i. 1879.
to others what you would not have others do to
you,' and rarely in the positive form, ' Do to
others as you would that others should do to you , '
and to this people may be exhorted by appealing
merely to selfish considerations." (Page 396.)
May not this principle be deemed a suitable
theme for a Thanksgiving discourse on an occa
sion when the pleasant memories of an American
Thanksgiving blend and mingle with reminis
cences of Hawaiian Independence. We meet as
Americans, yet on Hawaiian soil, and under the
protection of a government invigorated, strength
ened and fostered by the underlying and over
shadowing influences of the Great Republic.
My object will now be to speak upon—
International Reciprocity—Us benefits, and
its relations to Commerce, Science, Literature and
Christianity.
I. Commerce.—The history of the world in
cludes among its most important elements the
history of commerce. There has always existed
a traffic among the nations. The products of one
clime and nation are exchanged for those of
another. It would appear as if a nation's
growth and development essentially depended
upon its foreign commerce. Among the most
interesting features of ancient bistory we are ever
meeting with facts relating to commerce and
trade among different nations. In the world's
early history we are made acquainted with Phe-
nician commerce along the shores of the Mediter
ranean and extending to the tin-producing island
of Britain. Wbat interest gathers around the
commercial ventures of Hiram and Solomon, fit
ting out their ships Irom Ezion Geber to trade
with the spice islands of the far-away lands of
the Indian seas, and not returning for three years,
but when they arrive bringing " gold and silver,
ivory and apes and peacocks." Grecian and
Roman commerce is a grand subject for study.
How much the pages of Homer and Virgil are
enlivened by the voyages of their heroes and
heroines. Wbat interest gathers around the
ship which conveyed the Apostle Paul from a
port of Syria to Rome, sailing along the shores of
Cyprus and Crete, of Southern Italy and Sicily.
Then follows the commerce of succeeding ages,
including the supremacy ol Venice, until the
discovery and commerce of the New World en
grossed the wealth, enterprise and shipping of all
the nations of Europe. For nearly four hundred
years this vast field of enterprise and commeicial
venture haB been enlarging until now. God is
employing the commerce of the globe as one of
the potent agencies for bringing the nations of
the earth into fellowship. Remarks ex-Governor
Stanford, in a late report on the Central Pacifio
railroad : " The wealth of the country depends
on the cheapness of transportation, while print
ing, steam and the telegraph are bringing all
nations into one neighborhood." Remark Messrs.
Fisk & Hatch, bankers of New York, in a late
circular : " The marvelous drawing together of
the nations of the earth in financial matters
makes the bonds of the United States Government
almost as home-like in England, Germany and
France as their own national bonds."
After more than twenty years of persevering
and persistent effort, the United States and the
Hawaiian Islands entered into a treaty of reci
procity, taking advanced ground on the Line of
international commerce. It was an important
measure for a great commercial nation to enter
into a reciprocity treaty with the Hawaiian
Kingdom. Standing in this pulpit, and deliver
ing a discourse on a similar occasion, in Novem
ber, 1874, five years ago, I then remarked :
" America has been the foster-parent of Hawaii
nei, and now. the latter asks for a still more inti
mate bond of union, such as will be formed by a
treaty of reciprocity. I do most earnestly main
tain that it would prove mutually beneficial,—
beneficial to the Islands, but still more beneficial
to the United States. These Islands are wbat
the people of Oregon and California need to
complete their commercial integrity and unity,
such as may be secured by reciprocity." The
results of reciprocity, I believe, fully confirm
what I then asserted ; Custom-house statistics
also point in the same direction. This treaty
seems destined to work out results of vastly
greater moment than were anticipated. Capital
and labor are attracted hither from America,
Europe, China and the islands of this ocean. We
are just beginning to witness the commercial
benefits of reciprocity. Our Islands will become
more and more to Oregon and California what
the East and West India islands aro to Europe
and America.
" Trade," remarks a writer in the Boston Ad
vertiser. " will not endure unless it is based on
the golden rule—unless one treats the man with
 102 .THE
whom he trades »s lie would himself be treated."
This writer then proceeds to show how the great
Fenelon illustrated this idea in bis "Telemachus,'"
while Mr. Wells, the American political econ
omist, does the same in relerence to Adam
Smith, the author of" The Wealth of Nations."
The U. S. Government, in negotiating this treaty
with the Hawaiian Islands, has manifested a
generosity and nobleness which is not to be
without its happy influences upon other nations.
Other treaties of reciprocity will follow. Among
tbe recent items of intelligence from Japan, 1
have read the following newspaper report : " Tbe
new treaty between the United States and Japan
was signed July 25th, and is kept secret. This
treaty is understood to confer reciprocal commer
cial advantages, from which all other nations are
excluded, except on condition of accepting the
mutual obligations." It is well known that
England and Germany are now pressing the
Jupanesc Government upon points really involv
ing tbe independence of the Empire, while the
United States Government is upholding that Em
pire, as it did Hawaiian independence when
European nations would have blotted it out of
existence.
I cannot refrain from here refering to the most
signal manner in which Hawaiian national inde
pendence was preserved and secured. Most nobly
did Richards, Judd, Bicord, Lee, Allen, and
specially R, C. Wyllie, stand up (or Hawaiian
independence. The long and successful minis
terial career of Mr. Wyllie is quite noteworthy.
The stern Scotchman would not flinch or give way
one iota when the King's prerogative was in
fringed upon. He never would have allowed His
Majesty to have signed such a treaty as bas just
been negotiated between the Samoan Islands und
England. It is well for us that we have no Con
sular Courts. In the recent treaty negotiated by
our Minister, the Hon. Mr. Carter, between the
German Empire and the Hawaiian Kingdom,
there are no clauses compromising or humiliating
the King's sovereignty. Treaties of amity and
reciprocity, when based upon sound principles,
tend to strengthen and establish a nation's inde
pendence. The leading principle for which Mr.
Wyllie so resolutely and astutely contended
during nearly a quarter of a century, was this :
The Hawaiian Kingdom, though small, should be
treated as an independent nation, and its King as
an independent sovereign. Happily he lived to
see this principle established and acknowledged
by America and European nations; hence, when
His Majesty negotiated the Reciprocity Treaty
with the United States Government, other nations
had nothing to say so long as treaties with those
countries were not infringed.
The 28th ol November, 1843, may be observed
as the date of Hawaiian independence, but it was
many a long year before the Island-Kingdom was
treated asfully independent. On that day, how
ever, it was that England and France did " en
gage reciprocally to consider the Sandwich Isl
ands an independent State."
II. Science.—International reciprocity in mat
ters relating to science is a most interesting
subject of contemplation. If in some astronomical
observatory in Europe the discovery of a new
planet is made, the fact is immediately tele
graphed to all the other observatories of the
FRIEND, DECEMBER.
globe. When any important discovery is made
in the Bcience of chemistry, or geology, botany,
or mineralogy, the whole scientific world is made
acquainted with the facts, and soon the reading
public enjoy the publicity. How rapidly the
marvelous discoveries of Edison have been pub
lished throughout the world. Advances in every
department of science are published and repub
lished until they become familiar to the friends of
Bcience in all lands.
It is a most interesting fact that in times of
war among nations, the stern and bloody rules
of belligerents sometimes yield to the mandates
of science. When Napoleon was at the height of
his power and all Englishmen were prohibited
from travelling on tbe continent of Europe at the
peril of arrest and imprisonment, an exception
was made in favor of one man—a man of science
—Sir Humphrey Davy, tbe chemist and discover
er of the miner's safety lamp. Perhaps the fol
lowing example is still more noteworthy : During
the Revolutionary war, when the Americans were
battling for their independence, Dr. Franklin,
the American Plenipotentiary Ambassador at the
Court of France, forbade American privateers
molesting any of the squadron of ships under
Captain Cook's command in bis scientific voyage
around the globe. France and Spain are report
ed to have imposed a similar interdict upon their
cruisers. Iu acknowledgment of Franklin's
magnanimity, tbe British Admiralty, in the name
of the King, presented Dr. Frunklin with a copy
of Cook's Voyages and a gold medal. One more
most striking illustration of this point : Some
hundred years ago, when France and England
were at war, and while the first Eddystone light
house was in process of erection, a boat's crew
of English workmen were taken prisoners. They
were immediately sent back by the French mon
arch, with the laconic message that he was
waging war with tbe King of England, not with
mankind.
It was no ordinary compliment which Agassiz
paid to tho scientific and liberal views of America
when be left the Old World and cast in his lot
among the inhabitants of the New World.
Having been sent to America by the Prussian
Government to execute a scientific commission,
be met with such kindness and liberality, espe
cially among the promoters of tbe coast survey,
that afterwards no tempting offers from any
European court, university or scientific society
could tempt bim to return and relinquish his
borne in America. He was " enabled to push Ins
scientific researches on all shores from Maine to
Texas, as well as along the Pacific. It bore him
up the Amazon and around Cape Horn." For
years be employed Mr. Garrett to collect speci
mens of natural history in our island waters, and
was better acquainted with the fish in our ocean
than any other living scientist.
The history of efforts to explore the cold
regions surrounding the North Pole, and the
recent astronomical observations relating to tbe
transit of Venus, indicate tbe incalculable benefits
of international reciprocity in scientific matters.
But in no department may this subject be seen in
a more favorable light than in that series of
International Expositions, commencing with that
of England in 1851, under the patronage of the
Prince Consort, and followed by the Expositions
1879.
of France, Austria, and America's grand Centen
nial, and to be succeeded by otliers in Europe,
Australia and Japan. The influence and results
of these exhibitions of skill in manufactures and
displays of scientific research are something ab
solutely wonderful. They are revolutionizing
the world or art, mechanics and science. Scien
tific and useful knowledge is thereby spreading all
over the habitable globe, even penetrating the
old and conservative nations of China, Siom, In
dia and Japan. What is more remarkable, the
dark continent of Africa is receiving a portion of
these ruys of scientific light. From the report of
Dr. Means at the late meeting of the American
Board of Missions, held last month in Syracuse,
N. Y., we learn that not less than a lmlf-soore or
scientific societies in Europe are pushing their
researches on tho continent of Africa. One
French journal remarks that " the African ques
tion preoccupies all minds," while the same jour
nal quotes the remark of ■' one of tbe greatest
poets of the world" : " In the nineteenth century
the white man has made a man out of the black ;
in the twentieth century Europe will make a
world out of Africa." Adds Dr. Means : " Ger
many, France, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, all have
their parties of scientific explorers penetrating
the vast unknown, while commercial companies
are organizing for manufacturing, for traffic, and
for oommunicatiun by canals, railroads, telegraph
lines, steamboats and elephant trains." Africa
— that stronghold of ignorance, heathenism and
savagery— is now being attacked in the north,
east, south and west. Both scientific men and
missionaries are resolutely determined to storm
this citadel of ignorance, superstition and slavery.
In the grand assault many noble men may fall,
but the command has been given to close up and
push forward. The news comes that the noble
Mullens, of the London Missionary Society, has
fallen while penetrating to the interior, but other
missionaries and explorers will follow in the foot
steps of Livingstone, Stanley and their compeers.
The world is now just beginning to witness tho
grand results growing out of Livingstone's tolls
and labors. What a noble career, and how sub
limely it terminated. Penetrating as far as his
tailing Btrength will allow, he kneels alone and
dies— for his body was actually found in that
position ! His remains are rudely but carefully
embalmed by his faithful and devoted servants,
and borno more than a thousand miles on their
shoulders, through jungles and morasses, over the
hills and rivers of Africa, to Zanzibar, from
thence to be conveyed to England, where they
were finally taken to Westminster Abbey, there
to receive the highest honors which could be paid
to them. What a lire ! What a death ! What
a burial ! Science and Christianity may well
clasp hands over the earthly remains of the noble
explorer and humble missionary !
III. Literature.—Reciprocity in literature
among different nationalities is a most delightful
Bubject for review. Our thoughts are elevated
above material interests, and we are invited to
witness tbe action and reaction or mental aspira
tions in the realm of genius. A book of genius—
" Uncle Tom's Cabin," for example—is publish
ed, and in a very few months it is translated and
published in perhaps twenty different langunges,

A FEW WOEDS FROM BERLIN.
The summer—short at the best here at
the North—is gone, and winter is at the
door. The brief gray days of November are
with us. The Thier-garten has doffed its
verdant garments of midsummer, and its
glorious avenues bend before the winds
mourning the death of the year, while the
air is filled with myriads of falling, flutter
ing leaves, a veritable shower of gold.
While nature mourns, the city seems filled
wilh a tumultuous joy. The streets are
again active and bustling and gay. The
public drives and walks are filled with a bril
liant throng. The Emperor is once more in
the capital, his venerable, fatherly presence
being a joy and comfort to every one.
The German people have lost within a
week or two one of their leading men—his
Excellency Herr von Bulow, Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, a man of marked
ability and of great nobility and purity of
character. His funeral, which took place
last week, was of a singularly striking and
impressive character. The services were
held in the Church of St. Matthew, one of
the smaller but more beautiful churches in
the city. It was crowded till there was
scarcely even standing room. The scene
was one not soon to be forgotten. Before
the altar, which was almost hidden in a
thicket of greenery, was placed the coffin,
surrounded by burning tapers and hidden
from sight by masses of costly wreaths—
rarest garlands of laurel leaves, pale roses,
floral crosses and drooping palm branches.
At the foot of the coffin, on cushions of pur
ple velvet, were the numerous glittering
orders and decorations of the deceased. The
body of the church was one of the most
brilliant scenes imaginable. All the leading
officers of Government in their varied and
beautiful uniforms, such as are seen in no
country as in Germany; hundreds of
the military, the Diplomatic corps, and
an immense throng besides, were pres
ent. The Emperor, with his brother,
sat on one side of the coffin, facing the
widowand family. Everyone present seemed
mowed by the solemnity, by the impressive
pathos, and 1 may say beauty of the scene.
The fading light of the late autumn day
FRIEND , JANUARY,
came softly through the crimson and purple
and gold stained windows. The hundreds
of brilliant uniforms glittered like one im
mense jewel ; the music of the organ rose
and fell in full waves of mellow sound ac
companying the hushed chant, " Set getren
bis in den Tod* Before all stood the
flower-wreathed coffin of the departed, awing
all by its voiceless eloquence ; on one side
the patriarchal figure of the Emperor, on the
other the group of mourners, while trium
phantly above the altar was seen a picture
of the risen Christ !
During the past two or three weeks the
General Synod of the Evangelical Church
of the older Provinces of Prussia has been
holding its sessions, which closed only last
Monday. • This has been an important
session. The action of the body has been
such as to show that there was much earnest
life and purpose in the Church, whatever
may be said by many to the contrary. The
assembly, consisting of full two hundred
members, clerical and lay, presented a fine
appearance at its sittings. These were held
in the chambers of the Prussian House of
Lords, a simple but dignified apartment.
For my eye at least, there is scarcely a finer
or more impressive sight in the world than
that of a company of clergymen, and here in
Germany i make no exception. There is a
dignity in their carriage, a peculiar mingling
of sweetness, of strength, of lofty purity in
their faces, especially marked in the older
clergy, those who wear as a sort of halo at
the close of long years of service the glory
of their silver hair. Among this large com
pany 1 noticed the stately Dr. Faber, of
Barmen, at the head of the Mission House
there ; Professor Christlieb, from Bonn ; Dr.
Kogel, one of the Court chaplains ; Pastor
Frommel, that most genial, most loveable,
most charming of German clergymen ; Pas
tor Fincke, of Bremen, who resembles him
in many respects, whose " Life of St. Paul"
is a choice and noble work ; Dr. Bracken,
one of the leading and most thoughtful
preachers of Berlin, and a host of others.
Among the most important of the lay mem
bers of the Synod were His Excellency
Count Putkammer, " Cultus Minister," who
has just taken the portfolio left by Dr. Falk,
famous for his attacks upon the Ultramon-
tones ; Count Boitzenberg, Count Bismarck-
Bollxnd, etc.
Every year Berlin enjoys an exhibition
of modern paintings, which is for this city
what the Academy is for London and the
Salon for Pans, and is here called the
" Kunst Ausstellung." All through the
autumn it has delighted and feasted the
eyes of hundreds of visitors. Most of the
artists whose pictures are here exhibited are
resident in Berlin. Great as would be
the pleasure to describe some of the beauti
ful paintings which have charmed us here,
I must confine myself to the mention of one
portrait, which is the glory of the collection,
and which has been, so to say, an " art
event " this autumn for all Germany. It is
the portrait of Queen Louisa of Prussia, the
mother of the present Emperor, and is ex
ecuted by that master in modern portraiture,
Herr Gustav Richter. Queen Louisa's name
is written in luminous letters in the history
of Prussia. She was the daughter of the
Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She was
1 88 0. 3
married at an early age to Frederick Wil
liam III of Prussia, and became one of the
most prominent figures in the stormy politi
cal conflicts of her period. She was a
woman of extraordinary loveliness of person,
of a lofty character, marvelously actuated as
it were by a sense of her holy mission in the
cause of Prussian liberty ; in her lifetime
the idol of the people, and since her death
regarded almost as a saint or guardian angel
by the German people. She died in 1809
at the early age of 35, mourned perhaps as
no other woman has ever been mourned in
Germany. Though the present Emperor
was a mere child at her death, he has cher
ished her memory with a devotion and
sacrednesS, with a poetic tenderness, which
still in these late years of his old age is as
marked as it is beautiful. The painting by
Richter is of transcendent loveliness. You
recognize the lovely Queen, transfigured, ex
alted, inspired by her great purpose. It has
been ordered by one of the citizens of
Cologne, and is already hung upon the walls
of the museum of that city, its rarest treas
ure. It represents the Queen at the height
of her ripened and perfected beauty. The
face is full of indescribable hopefulness,
sweetness, steadfast purpose, heroic resolve
—the face of an Empress, of a leader, soft
ened by the tender, timid lines of wife and
motherhood. The figure is superb, clad in
a simple robe of white ; one dimpled hand is
laid upon the breast, the other holds the
heavy ermine-lined velvet mantle, which
falls upon the marble steps she is descend
ing. The eyes seem to be gazing upon
some far distant horizon, invisible to us,
Above her brow is a golden star of hope.
Behind her are storm-clouds; the air is
filled with a winter sadness. Against such
a background this glorious, luminous, queen
ly figure rises like some fair Angel of Hope
and Inspiration. F. Williams Damon.
Berlin, Nov. 5th, 1879.
We copy the following paragraphs from
private letters :
P. S — I have been very busy with my
lectures since writing you last, and they are
opening upevery day more and more delight
fully. Just came in from a noble lecture
from grand old Adolph Kirchhoff, the cele
brated Greek scholar, on Thucydides. I
am expecting to hear in addition Professor
Steinthal on Language in General ; Prof.
Hubner on Classical Philology; Prof. Cur-
tius (a famous name) on Athens and its
Monuments; Dr. Zummer on the Indo-
Germanic Languages ; and Prof. Lepsius on
Egyptian Antiquities. As some of these
lectures require but two or three hours a
week, 1 think I can, without crowding, take
them all. The Sanskrit Grammar, by good
Professor Whitney, which has appeared
within a few days, is like all that he writes,
exact, wonderfully clear, and as perfect as
anything of the kind can be. He is regard
ed as one of the very first authorities in
everything of this kind. My lectures are
the source of the very greatest pleasure and
delight to me, and the days seem to fly
away on swift wing. I am in a state of
mental "crystallization." The condition is
delightful ! A thousand things in my
studies seem to be coming into place ; facts,
principles, theories are righting themselves.

Every day this horizon of language, of
philological study, seems to be widening;
and then to me the wonderful living breath
which seems to animate the great body of
comparative philology — this union, this
bringing together of races so long sundered,
this grand thought of the human brother
hood, is inspiring, stimulating, glorious !
Have just received a little book with a
Bible verse, printed in over 200 languages.
To-day, received a letter from Prof. Mather,
ordering a cast of the Olympian “Hermes”
for Amherst College.
Yesterday, the 25th day of November,
will be one of my “In Memoriam” days. It
brought me word of my brother's “grand
promotion”—of his “home-going”—I cannot
bring myself to use the word death. This
was the most glorious beginning of a better
life. Above all my grief and pain and per
sonal loss, I feel thankful that l was permit
ted on earth to call him brother—that I am
privileged to feel, in humble reverence of
heart, that he is to-day one of that redeemed
host who stand before the throne. My play
For the New Year.
The veil is hung before mine eyes,
I stand beside the open door,
Behind that veil the future lies,
I cannot see a step before
I stand in silence as I watch,
Upon the threshold of the year;
That I, dear Lord, Thy voice may catch,
I lend to Thee my listening ear.
I know not whether sun or shade
Lies stretched before me on the plain ;
I know not whether flowers may fade,
Or whether they shall bloom again.
I know not whether bright and clear
And gladsome days before me lie,
Or whether dark and chill and drear
The paths that Thou shalt lead me by.
I know not, and I would not know,
Content I leave it all with Thee,
'Tis ever best it should be so,
As Thou wilt have it, let it be.
And yet I know for every day,
That every step for me is planned;
I surely cannot miss my way,
By keeping hold of Thy dear hand.
And this I know, whate'er betide,
I never shall be left alone,
Thou standest ever by my side,
To Thee my future all is known.
Thus, wheresoe'er my lot may fall,
The way before is marked by Thee,
The windings of my life are all
Unfoldings of Thy love to me.

DEATH's DoINGs.—Our community was startled
by the announcement on Saturday afternoon last,
of the death of Mr. S. L. Lewis, a well known dry
goods dealer on Nuuanu street. Mr. Lewis had

6
have written letters upon this subject to
China, and made it a special point with the
Chinese themselves who were going to
China and were expecting to return. The
following editorial appeared in the Friend
in July last :
" Has not the time about come for the
Hawaiian Government to take decided
action about the introduction of so many
Chinese immigrants, unaccompanied by
their wives ? Would it not be well to con
vene the leading and prominent Chinese
merchants of Honolulu, and let the subject
be fairly discussed ? Does not the magni
tude of the subject demand the appointment
of a Minister Plenipotentiary who shall
visit China and confer with the authorities ?
If the Hawaiian Government supports a
Minister at Washington! ought it not also
to support a Minister or Consul-General at
Pekin ? Hawaiian affairs are as deeply in
volved in what passes in China as what
passes in America. The California watch
word may be, " The Chinese must go," but
that of Hawaii is, " The Chinese must
come," to work our cane and rice fields.
Now let us treat them fairly, and do all in
our power to introduce Chinese families and
diffuse among them Christianity."
This editorial does not convey the idea
that we advocate " unrestricted immigration
from China." Touching this question of
the Chinese and the proper manner of treat
ing them, we would add in conclusion : We
have no sympathy with the policy which
has been pursued in Peru, Cuba and Cali
fornia, of inviting Chinese laborers and then
reducing them to slavery, or treating them
otherwise than as free and voluntary im
migrants who have the same right to " come
and go" as immigrants from any other
country. To no other country have Chinese
immigrants been more cordially invited—
nay, urged to come and labor, than to these
Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian Govern
ment, Board of Immigration and planters
have combined to make the passage easy
for the Chinese to leave their own country
and come hither. The record of Dr. Hille-
brand's mission to China and the East
Indies, and the mission of the Hon. Mr.
Wilder as the planters' agent, are fresh in
mind. To induce them to migrate hither,
their passages have been paid wholly or in
part.
Referring to the question of the Chinese
bringing their wives, it is a noteworthy fact
that the only ship which has ever brought a
due proportion of respectable women and
children was the last ship chartered by Mr.
Aseu, about two years ago. More than one-
half of this ship's company of immigrants
were Christians from the German church
in China. We are happy to bear the most
unqualified testimony to the good character
of these Christian immigrants.
One paragraph more. For more than
twenty years we have been laboring to
Christianize our Chinese immigrants, and
for more than ten years we have sustained
a Chinese school at ihe Bethel, in Honolulu,
where nearly two hundred Chinese have
been taught the English language, and some
of these are now members of Christian
churches. While we have never exerted
our influence to invite Chinese to come, we
have aimed to Christianize those who have
come ; and this will be our aim in the
future. We opened with a letter from Mr.
Whitney; we close with a letter just re
ceived from the Rev. Mr. Happer, a mis
sionary of the American Board in Canton :
Canton, China, Oct 15, 1879.
Rev. De. Damon.
My Dear Brother : We have been separ
ated from each other by the Pacific for
these thirty odd years. While I have
known much of you, I have never had any
personal intercourse. Now, as Canton is
to be connected with Honolulu by a line of
steamers, and as the number of Chinese who
will be in your Islands will be increased, I
feel free to write to you of matters of com
mon interest connected with the cause of
Christ. 1 feel much connected with Chi
nese interest there, as two of my pupils, Ho
Pui and Shin Chak. are your colporteurs,
and an acquaintance, Sit Moon, is tempor
ary pastor of the Chinese church in Honolu
lu. 1 write to say, that if we can help the
work amongst the Chinese in your midst in
any way, by sending books or tracts, we
will be glad to do so Letters from any of
the Chinese tn their friends here may be
sent to me. In view of the increased num
ber of Chinese there, I would advise that
one of your young ministers should come to
Canton and study Chinese for two years or
more. You will find it very difficult to
carry on the work among the Chinese un
less some American understands Chinese.
There is a want of integrity even amongst
Chinese Christians which you will have to
guard against. There is a Wesleyan here
from Australia studying Chinese, in erder
to have charge of the work there on his
return. The Presbyterians of Australia
took Rev. D Vrooman Irom this place to
superintend their work there. It appears
to me that you will need to put forth stren
uous efforts to Christianize the Chinese in
your Islands, or there is danger that they
will turn many of your own' islanders back
to heathenism. You will notice that an
Agent goes from here to the Islands. It ap
pears to me very important that, in any
arrangements made, there should be a
stipulation for women and children to go.
This was the regulation in the emigration
to Demerara, and was the most important
and beneficial of all the regulations. The
emigrants there are doing very well and
becoming Christians. Give my Christian
reeards to Sit Moon, Ho Pui and Shing
Chak. Ho Pui is the best Chinese scholar
of any of them, and would make a good
teacher for anyone who wanted to study
Chinese there. Hoping to hear from you by
the return steamer, and praying that God
may bless all your efforts to Christianize the
Chinese in your Islands,
1 remain, yours in Christian bonds,
A. P. Happer.
We are glad to hear such testimony from
Rev. Mr. Happer respecting some of our
Chinese Christian workers on the Hawaiian
Islands, viz., Sit Moon, acting pastor of
Chinese Church, Honolulu ; Wong Ee,
Hilo, Hawaii ; Kong Tit Yen, Kohala, Ha
waii ; Sat Fan, Makawao, Maui ; Shin
Chak, Oahu ; Ho Pui, Kauai.
Shin Chak has recently left for California,
but he is expected to return. Before leav
ing he made the tour of the districts of Hilo,
Hamakua and Kohala, preaching among
the Chinese on the plantations, having been
sustained by funds contributed privately by
J. T. Waterhouse, Esq.
Our readers, we think, will peruse
with interest two letters which we have
recently received from two of our Chinese
colporteurs, Sat Fan on Maui, and Ho Pui
on Kauai. The former is one of those re
ceiving honorable mention in Dr. Happer's
letter :
Koloa, Dec. 5, 1879.
Rev. S. C. Damon —My Dear Sir : I
received your letter last month and ought to
answer you immediately, but my eye has
been sick. This is reason 1 do not write.
Please excuse me. 1 was around the Island
the third time, and know four men who like

The Lord bless you and your family.

Paluili, Makawao, Nov. 14, 1879.
Rev. S. C Damon.—Dear Sir : I have
heard bad news from a Christian man, who
said your son has died with a high fever
last week. My dear sir. do not feel troubled
for him, because he die by God's providence.
I think God will receive his soul up to
heaven. Now you should take good care of
your health. Do not be over sorry ; if you
sorry so much 1 fear that you will be failing
in your health. Please see the Holy Bible
instructs us, because God's hand has shield
us from every danger in this world. God
might be able to preserve his soul too when
he died. Although we cannot see him at

I am convinced, a plant of slow growth, but
when its roots have found a place in one's

I am seeing daily, towns with their tree-
shadowed canals and quaint old houses and
noble churches ; charming Dutch " inter

family lite, open to me on every side ; the
sweet, mellow chimes of the bells go with
me all along the way ; my road lies through
wide-spreading meadows, where the sleek
and mild-eyed cattle feed, the pride of the

It has been a constant source of pleasure
to me in the midst of my rambles to think
that I might be permitted to share with
others the impressions which these profound

picturesque countries mike upon the traveler
who is permitted to tread their truly classic
soil. So deeply, so intensely has the "spirit"
of these lands affected me ; so eloquently
have the thousand historic monuments
which guided^ my wanderings proclaimed
thier story ; on such rare and gloriously
beautiful creations of laureled artists have I
been permitted to gaze, that i should seem to
myself to be doing violence to a thousand
precious memories if I attempted to recall
them hastily in the few moments afforded
me for writing. It were better if there were
more reverence in travel and in its recital
than one meets with in our day. Every
traveller who regards the opportunity af
forded of visiting lands hoary with age and
tradition in a certain sense as a sacred
privilege, finds his experience nobly ex
pressed in that thoughtful sonnet of the poet
Wordsworth on Bruges :
The spirit of antiquity—enshrined
In sumptuous buildings,—vocal in sweet song,
In picture, speaking with heroic tongue.
And with devout solemnities entwined—
Strikes to the seat of grace within the mind.
THE FETES OF SEPTEMBER IN BRUSSELS.
Allow me to give, in a few words, a
glimpse at the folk-life of Brussels, leaving
our excursion into the domain of the past

than the present— asking your kindly char

EDITOR'S TABLE.
"Aloha!" A Hawaiian Salutation. By
George Leonard Chaney. Boston :
.Roberts Brothers. 1880.
Some years ago, when conversing with a
person about some new publication respect
ing Polynesia, he remarked in a querulous
tone, " What ! Another book ! I should
think enough had been written and printed
already." Our reply was, "The reading
world has only just begun to read the books
which will be written about Polynesia."
Since then several books have appeared re
lating to Polynesia, and a good half-dozen
about the Hawaiian Islands, including Miss
Bird's, Mr. Fornander's, Mrs. Brassey's,
Judge Caton's, and now comes to us, fresh
from Boston, with the imprint of "1880"
on the title page, another volume, entitled
" Aloha," by the Rev. George Leonard
Chaney, late pastor of Hollis St. Church,
Boston. This tourist, accompanied by his
wife, visited our Islands 1875-76. The vol
ume is dedicated to the Honorable and Mrs.
H. A. P. Carter, " without whose kind per
suasion" the author would not have visited
the Islands.
The author, we think, has been peculiarly
happy in the selection of a title—" Aloha,"
" Love to you." This, he aptly remarks,
" is the commonest and sweetest word in
the Hawaiian tongue." Dr. Anderson, in
his book on the Islands, thus writes about
the same word : " Aloha is their character
istic word. If they have not words to ex
press some of the great ideas, they certainly
have a word expressive of the sweetest,
richest sentiments of the human heart—
Aloha. I never wearied with the repetition,
though I repeated it thousands of times."
Mr. Chaney has certainly written a very
pleasant, racy, readable and enjoyable vol
ume. He appears to have quietly glided
around among all classes of our Island com
munity, observing the various phases of
human life, and viewing the natural scenery
with the eye of an artist and naturalist.
Being a New Englander and Bostonian, he
is gratified to discover a strong infusion of
good old Puritan principles in the society of
the Islands, made up of so many national
ities. , " It is a curious and pleasant thing
to see how many of the best characteristics
of the Anglo-American race have been trans
planted i nd domesticated in this far-away
Kingdom. If the good old type should die
out of New England, 1 believe that it would
be found surviving in the descendants of the
best sett ers of the Hawaiian Islands."
He takes a hopeful view of the Chinese
element, although his keen forecast of the
future gently crops out when he remarks,
" Take care, O King, that the lean kine do
not eat up the fat ones."
We regret that our limits will not allow
us to copy many a bright, hopeful and
sparkling paragraph fulling uuder our notice
in glancing over this volume. We have not
met with a single carping or ill-natured re
mark in one of its 299 pages. We attribute
this in part to the fact that he took the word
Aloha for his key-note. The writer appears
to have found the Islands a restful place.
We think this has also been true of other
visitors who have escaped for a brief season
from professional duly in the court-room and
the pulp.t. Mr. Dana, Judge Caton, Dr.
Anderson, Dr. Clark, Dr. Stone, Dr. Chaney
and others have expressed the idea that they
found the Islands a restful spot.
We can most cordially commend this
volume to the reading public, and are con
fident our booksellers will find a constant
sale for years to come. Mr. Chaney com
pliments Miss Bird most gracefully in his
introduction : "Miss I. L. Bird has written
a charming book of travel in the Hawaiian
Archipelago. If I can give my readers half
the pleasure she has given me, I shall be
satisfied." We think he may be satisfied.
Miscellanies. By John Dean Caton,
LL. D. Boston : Riverside Press. I860.
We would acknowledge a copy of this
book by Judge Caton. It contains much
most valuable information relating to Law,
History, Science and Literature The
Judge has been not only devoted to his pro
fession, but has stepped aside, and like other
wise men, from Solomon down, has been
one that " intermeddled with nil wisdom."
The habits of the American deer and the
antelope have been his special study. When
he visits foreign conntries he studies up
everything relating to those lands—e. g.,
the Hawaiian Islands and Cuba. Now he
is upon a visit to Japan, and we may ere
long expect interesting '' Papers" relating
to those islands. He was en route ihither,
through San Francisco, when he most kind

perused with interest About sixty pages of
this volume relate to the Hawaiian Islands,
some pans of the same having been pub
lished in our Island papers.
Victorian Review. Vol. I. No. 1.
This is a publication coming to us from
Melbourne, Victoria, and takes us somewhat
by surprise. It is a large and beautifully-
printed Quarterly, with a corps of contrib
utors worthy of a first-class Review of Eng
land or America. Our limits will not allow
us to prut all we should be pleased to say
in the way of high commendation. It con
tains eleven articles, on various topics, and
having read several, we can recommend the
Review as first-class One article, entitled,
" Will the Anglo-Australian Race Degen
erate ?" is most suggestive. The writer
views the nations of the earth from a geo
logical standpoint. Thus writing, he re
marks, "We must be prepared for an in
evitable degeneration of the Anglo-Australian
stock." We regret we cannot leproduce the
whole article, and also another, " A
Coming Citizen of the World,"—viz., Chi
nese.
Through Whitney & Robertson and T. G.
Thrum the Review may be obtained.
The Prejbyterian Review. Vol.1. No. 1.
This is a first-class Review, started by
the ablest divines and writers of the Presby
terian Church in the United Slates. Sound
scholarship, able reasoning, broad views and
manly discussion will characterize this

fC?" We think many of our readers will
peruse with interest the letter we publish
from Miss Bird, written after her return to
England from her trip to Japan. Her letters
relating to our Islands have much enlight
ened all who are interested in this part of
the world. Often we meet with tourists
who say that they never should have come
hither but for reading Miss Bird's book.
If any of our readers are inlerested in
reading about the Ainos of Japan, to whom
Miss Bird refers, we would refer them to
the Friend for November, 1871, containing
an article carefully prepared by Mr. Lindau,
a German gentleman and tourist, then on a
visit to Honolulu. He is a brother of the
celebrated Lindau who now stands among
the foremost literary men of Germany. The
Ainos of Japan hold the same relation to the
people of Japan that the North American

Indians do to the people of America. They
were the original inhabitants of Japan.
Miss Bird's reference to our old friend
Mangero is most touching. He merits some
thing better than neglect, for he is one of
Japan's noblest men. He gave to Japan a

saelaiued a Reading Room at the Home, whioh baa
beeu muoh frequented aud never more than at tbe
present time.
Although wbalesbipi have ceased to frequent this
port—only one coming this year—yet merchant ves
sels have increased, and vessels of war coming occa
sionally as in former years. The necessity for sus
taining suoh an institution remains as urgent as
ever. It forms a centre place of resort for friends
of many good enterprises, including Bible and tract
distribution. So manifest has been the usefulness
of this institution that it has never been allowed to
become encumbered with debt, and tbe community
bas always most generously responded when apprals
have been made for its support.
It should not be forgotten that in the early days
of the Hume, representation of Government officers
among the Trustees led to a thorough review and
remodeling of Hawaiian Laws relating to tbe pro
per treatment of seamen. Some years ago, when
the friends of seamen in the United States desired
the enactment of new laws relating to boh men,
copies of our Laws and regulations were applied for,
and when the newly framed laws were passed by the
United States Congress it wae manifest that hints
at least were suggested by Hawaiian Laws and reg
ulations relating to seamen. No candid observer cau
possitdy review the history of the Home for a quar
ter of u century and not acknowledge its great use
fulness to seamen, strangers and others At the
present time all our Consuls send their distressed
seamen thither when they are not under medical
treatment at the Queen's Hospital. Many of the
boarders of late have been seut hy the planters'
agents ; hence to close its doors ami suppress its
various agencies would be n serious loss to the com
munity. Sam'l C. Damon

Letter from Miss Bird,
19, Coote's Crescent, Edinburgh,
Nov. 16th, 1879.
Dear Mr. Damon: I am in your debt
for the Friend, which I always read from
the first to the last word. * * * book will lie a very corpulent volume, and
How I wish I was going to the never-to-
be-forgotten Islands ! Now I must tell you
about your last letier. Strange to say, I
received the Friend [in Japan] with an ac
count of the Ainos in Yezo the day before I
left for a three weeks' (our among the Ainos,
and consequently it interested me exceed
ingly, as did these truly pathetic aborigines.
I had previously become very well acquaint
ed with Mr. and Mrs. Murray, and on re
turning to Tokiyo lost no time in speaking
to them about Mangero, and Mr. Murray
took a great deal of trouble to find him out,
and having done so, invited him to meet me
at lunch. Mangero is quite an old-looking
and sad-looking man. His party is out of
power and himself out of employment, and
he lives on a plot of land at some distance
from Tokiyo. He brightened very much
when he heard of you, and especially when
1 gave him your photo and message. I
urged him to write to you, but he has nearly
forgotten English. Your thought of him
seemed to be quite a gleam of brightness in
his depressed condition, and I am very glad
that you gave me the message to him.
Others I saw who spoke of you. I spent
ten days with the Hepburns, and Mrs Hep
burn said that her day in Honolulu was the
fullest and most exciting she ever spent.
1 was for a fortnight with the Gulicks, and
there 1 almost forgot that I was not on Ha
waii. Mrs. Gulick, senior, was very frail,
but "the inner man" seemed "renewed
seems very sweetly felt by all. I saw much
of the missionary circle there and at Ki-
yoto, and was very much interested in the
hopeful work which your countrymen and
women are doing there, which contrasts
strongly with much of unsuccessful though
earnest effort in other parts of Japan. [
liked Mrs. Orimel Gulick very much. She
has the good qualities which I admired so
much in her sisters. She is much esteemed
and looked up to, as she deserves to be. I
spent seven months in Japan, and traveled
very considerably in the northern interior
and among the aborigines in Yezo. It grew
gradually upon me, and is a deeply interest
ing country, but it did not steal my heart!
Then I went for three weeks to Canton and
Honkong, and was delighted with the for
mer. Thence to Singapore, where the
Straits Settlements Government gave me
the opportunity of visiting the Malay Pen
insula as its guest, and I went first to Mal
acca and then to the native states of Sun-
gei, Ujong, Salongor and Perak ; then for
three weeks to Ceylon, with which I was
greatly disappointed ; and thence to Suez,
from whence I made a solitary pilgrimage to
Sinai, and carried out the earliest wish of
my childhood. The great drawback all the
time was my very bad health and the suffer
ing in my spine caused by riding, and at
Cairo I took typhoid fever, from which I
have been slowly recovering ever since. I
returned home in June. 1 joined my sister
at once, and have lived five months in a
little cottage which we have in the Heb-
ridean island of Mull, on the w»oded edge
of the moorland above the sea. 1 have been
and am much occupied with literary -work,
as you will see by the enclosed. My Japan
will probably not be out till February. The
Rocky Mountains have been out for a week,
and the edition is nearly disposed of. * * *
I suppose that each year -is altering the
Islands by bringing strangers and foreign
capital and labor to your shores. * * *
Believe me yours very sincerely,
Isabella L. Bird.
The Voice of Weeping.
I hear the voice of weeping
O'er one whose soul has fled,
Whose relics now are Hleeping
Among tbe silent dead.
Each heart with grief is breaking,
And eyes with sorrow flow,
E'en strangers are partaking
The sympathy of woe.
Hut yesterday we knew her,
Lovely in youthful bloom ;
To-day we're called to view her,
A tenant of the tomb.
Her life was but a vapor,
A tender, fading flower,
A trembling, dying taper,
Extinguished in an hour,
1 hear the voice of weeping,
And there is cauae to mourn ;
She that in death is sleeping
Wiir ne'er to us return.
No more shall we behold her
Till time forever dies,
Our arms no more enfold her
Till all the dead arise.
New York City, Dec. 1852. Thomas Hastings.
Letter from Major Webb.
Papeetee, Tahiti, Nov. 9, 1879.
. My Dear Mr. Damon : I write to let
you know of my arrival here. I had a very
rapid and pleasant voyage from San Fran
cisco in a smart little schooner called the
Greyhound. We left on the 1st October
and arrived at Tahiti on the 29tb. We had
good winds all the way, except at the Line,
where we passed through the calm regions
found there. I have taken a small house
here, and will probably remain some time
on this island. It is very beautiful and
richly wooded, and reminds me of the Sand
wich Islands. The people are exactly of the
same kind, open-hearted race, and very hos
pitable. I am told that they often support
white men when they are no longer able to
work. 1 presented the letter of introduction
you kindly gave me to Mr. Green, and was
very kindly received by him. Yesterday
being Sunday, I attended his church, and
after service witnessed the baptism of a
Chinaman who was then publicly admitted
into the Christian Church. Next week 1
intend making a tour round the island, and
when I return going over to another one
which is a few miles distant. After that
my stay here will be near its end. Some
time ago there was a lady here, a Miss
Gordon Cumming, a sister of a man who
was well known in England as a great hun
ter of lions in Africa. She explored well
this island and the one in its neighborhood,
and made a number of paintings of the most
striking spots. I purchased a number of
photographs of her pictures, which are very
striking indeed. Judging from them, her
pictures must be very fine. After she left
it was her intention to go on to the Sand
wich Islands. A great artist has plenty of
scope to exercise his talent both here and in
your Islands. A fine painting of Kilauea
would be very valuable. There is nothing
of that kind here ; nevertheless, this place
is well worthy of a visit. The extensive
palm groves by the sea are very fine. Every
where vegetation abounds right up to the
top of the hills. What struck me most of
all on first arriving were the wonderful fish
you see swimming about everywhere. There
is one in particular called the coral fish, of
the most beautiful blue you can see, a very
dark sky-blue. Sometimes it is of a fine
green tint. Besides this fish, you see others
of a variety of most brilliant colors, many of
them striped and spotted with various hues.
This island seems to be almost entirely
wanting in birds and animals, but is very
rich in fish. Among the latter is one which
is very dangerous. It has a sharp fin on its
back, and if in bathing you accidentally
tread on it, this fin runs into your foot, and
you die of lockjaw. This creature general
ly lies concealed in mud, so you have to be
very careful in going into the water when
bathing.
I remain, very sincerely yours.
G. T. Webb.

Betting.—The sentiments of the P. C.
Advertiser upon this subject should be en
dorsed by every Christian and moral man in
the community. Betting is a vice, and
should be treated as such. Henry Ward
Beecher speaks of this subject somewhat as
follows : " To every young man who in
dulges in the least form of gambling, I raise
a warning cry. Under the specious name
of amusement you are laying the founda
tions of gambling. It vitiates the imagina
tion, corrupts the tastes and destroys indus
try, being a practice disallowed among
Christians, excluded by mere moralists, and
hateful to industrious and thriving men."
Music—No man can of himself overcome
his propensity to evil. That power must
come from outside influences, one of the
purest of which is music. Unlike most
earthly influences, music itself speaks only
for good. From the same mouth come
blessings and cursings, but the good God
seems to have made music so that man
could by no possibility wring evil from it.
A spirit of darkness could not make an
organ express his evil thoughts for him,
while the purest heart and gentlest tongue
are often the instruments of evil. These
influences are designed by our Maker to
lure us to good, and no young man has such
innate power that he may slight them. Cul
tivate music, good society and those other
earthly stepping stones to an honest life
which, though not Christianity, are yet its
offspring.

Amsterdam is a city where one might
live for a long time with interest. There
was to me something charmingly inspiring
in the city, not only in its wonderful historic
and artistic past, but also in its active living
present. It abounds in charitable institu
tions. The care here paid to the blind is
especially worthy of note. I regretted that
my limited time did not permit of my in
quiring more definitely into the workings of
the Maatschappig tot Nut van't Alge-
meen, or Association for the furtherance of
the general good, which has its principal
bureau in Amsterdam. It was founded by
a Baptist minister in 1784, and its good
workings is felt through all Holland. Its
objects are, the raising of the standard of
popular education, the circulation of good
literature, the diffusing of knowledge gener
ally, the promotion of good morals, the sup
port of widows and orphans, and others
equally praiseworthy. The Seamen's Home
is a fine building, erected 1856. I spent
one evening in the brilliantly lighted Zoo
logical Garden (one of the finest and best
arranged in Europe), where hundreds of the
good people of Amsterdam were gathered for
a concert. The friendly and family groups
under the arching trees made a charming
picture. Here I noticed that nearly every
one had tea, instead of beer, as in Germany.
1 shall always remember with pleasure my
walk home on the same evening along the
ship-crowded wharves. It was so still and
peaceful and the air so balmy that I half
fancied myself again in the tropics. The
moon shone in all its beauty, and the river
Ij, the arrowy masts of a thousand ships,
the winding canals, the funtastic houses, the
grey towers, seemed transfigured in the sil
very light.
REMBRANDT AND THE PICTURE GALLERIES OF
AMSTERDAM.
It were wiser for me, in these brief and
hastily written sketches, to avoid altogether
mentioning the subject of Dutch and Flem
ish art ; the field is too great, too important,
in a certain sense too sacred, to be touched
upon lightly and superficially. And yet I
can scarcely walk with you through the
streets of Amsterdam without for a moment
speaking of Rembrandt, whose home was
here. At least one-half your time in visiting
the Netherlands will, I am sure, be spent in
the Picture Galleries ; they are the rightful
glory of these little countries. To study
Dutch and Flemish art, one must come here
to the fountain-head. You may see scat
tered pictures of Dutch and Flemish artists
all over Europe, but it strikes me that here
alone you can rightly understand them.
You walk the streets they walked, look upon
the same faces which you see painted in
their pictures—enter, as it were, into their
very life. I can scarcely compel my pen to
stay within its prescribed limits. The very
mention of this subject seems like the open
ing of the floodgates, and the great waves
of joyous memories, of the hours and days I
spent in the compauy of Rembrandt, of
Rubens, of Potter, Franz Hals and the other
masters, rush in upon me, almost over
whelmingly. I would wish to avoid any
thing that might seem like sentimental
exaggeration, but I can truly say that as I
have come forth from some of these world-
famous galleries, I have with difficulty re
frained from shouting from very joy, and
though months have now crept in between
those days and these, I feel that the inspir
ation and delight they were to me then
grows, like wine, stronger and sweeter with
time.
Amsterdam, as 1 was saying, was the
home of Rembrandt, one of the greatest
artists the world has ever known,—the
Shakspeare of painting, as Taine so rightly
calls him. He was born in Leiden about
1607, and died in Amsterdam, where he
spent the most important portion of his life,
in 1667. Everyone is familiar with his
peculiar style of painting, the contrasts of
light and shadow, the illumination of one
particular point in a painting. You will
pardon me for giving one or two words from
Taine's suggestive pages on this artist.
They are themselves so exquisitely beauti
ful that they have run in my mind for days,
like music :
" He rendered this atmosphere palpable and
revealed to us its mysterious and thronging
population ; he impregnated it with the light of
his own country—a feeble yellow illumination
like that of a lamp in a cellar ; he felt the
mournful struggle between it and shadow, the
weakness of vanishing rays dying away in gloom,
the tremulousness of reflections vainly clinging
to gleaming walls, the sum of that vague multi
tude of half darks which, invisible to ordinary
gaze, seem in bis paintings and etchings to form
a submarine world, dimly visible through an
abyss of waters. On emerging from this obscur
ity, the full light, to his eyes, proved a dazzling
shower; he felt, as it were, flashes of lightning,
or some magical effulgence, or as myriads of
beaming darts."
The finest collection of pictures in Hol
land is in Amsterdam, and the finest picture
of the collection is the " Night Watch" of
Rembrandt. It represents one of the an
cient guilds of Amsterdam, and depicts its
members in holiday attire, and is one of the
most superb pieces of artistic coloring in
the world. The figures, life size, seem
fairly stepping out of the canvas to greet
you. The effects of light and shadow are
marvelous. In the Royal Gallery at the
Hague is a striking painting by Rembrandt,
strangely, painfully fascinating. It presents
to us a famous anatomist of that day, sur
rounded by an eager group of listeners,
before whom is placed a corpse, explaining
the wondrous mechanism of the human
body. Near this is an exquisite picture, a
" Presentation in the Temple." The Holy
Child and the high priest are bathed in a
flood of golden light. But I must not allow
myself to specify. I know of no painter
who has so strangely moved me as Rem
brandt. There is something almost intox
icating in his marvelous coloring : you
would be perhaps blinded and dazzled by his
glorious crimsons and lustrous golds, were
19
it not for the near presence of amber and
brown and dusky black shadows of un
fathomable depth. It is this element of
mystery which he holds over you like a
magician. But his power lies, most of all,
in his nearness to nature and humanity.
His paintings are, as it were, animated by
some impassioned soul! With Rembrandt's
name begins a long list of artist names which
have a world-wide celebrity. I may per
haps recall a few by name—more is here
impossible : Ruisdael, Ter Burg, Paul
Potter, Gerard Dow, Jan Steen, Teniers,
Van der Heist. Amsterdam, with its num
erous galleries, easy of access, furnishes for
the visitor, whether his stay be long or
short, a rich and satisfying feast.
UTRECHT.
I went down by train one lovely moon
light evening to Utrecht, spent that night
there in a charming little Dutch inn, and
next day rambled about the old town. Old
indeed it is, for it is one of the old cities of
Holland, and that is saying much. In
Utrecht is a famous University, numbering
something like 500 students. In Ecclesias
tical history Utrecht has played an import
ant role. To-day it is a charmingly fresh and
cleanly city, beautifnl with blossoming gar
dens and pleasant homes. 1 climbed up the
long winding stone stairways of the Cathe
dral tower, and when once at the summit
felt loath indeed to leave. The view is ex
tensive, commanding almost ail of Holland
and other provinces over the border. The
verdant landscape lay bathed in a delicious
wealth of golden autumn sunshine, varied
by beautiful groves of trees, through which
the red-tiled roofs of villages and country
homes gleamed in the noon-sunlight, inter
sected at every turn by winding canals and
silver streams. The suburbs of the city are
wonderfully charming. I rode several miles
into the country, and it seemed as if the en
tire way was bordered by stately avenues of
trees, beautiful gardens and lawns, and the
comfortable often luxurious mansions and
villas of wealthy merchants.
ZAAMDAM AND PETER THj GREAT.
One could spend day after day making
excursions by steamer, by sail or foot from
Amsterdam out, and all of them pleasant
and interesting. There is Hoorn, Pumeren-

that city from the water in leaving was most
imposing. Everybody comes to Zaandam
to see the little log cabin where Peter the
Great lived for a number of months, when
he came to Holland to learn how the Dutch
made their ships, and worked (his rank un
known) as a common laborer, in the sweat
of his brow, on the wharves. The story is a
very fine and interesting one, and will am

Notice to Mariners.
The following, received at the Foreign Office from the
Hawaiian Consul at Hobart Town, Tasmania, has been
handed to us for publication.
Notice is hereby given, that the light at Currie harbor,
on the west coast of King island (the preliminary notice
of its erection was made 26th October, 1878), will be com
leted and exhibited from and after the 1st day of
arch, 1880.
The following corrected description of the tower,
and position is given for general information:
Tower-Is an iron tower, 70 feet high, supported by six
cast-iron columns, the lower ends terminating in screw
piles. It has a wrought-iron light room, and central tube
for stair-case. It will stand on an eminence about 70
feet high on the south side of Currie harbor, in latitude
39° 56'45” S., longitude 143° 51 E.
Light-Is of the first order, dioptric, holophotal, revolv
# with flashes every 12 seconds, viz.: 5 flashes and
eclipses alternately in a minute, and will illuminate an
arc of 180°, viz: From New Year's Island on the north
to Point Cataraque on the south, The light is 150 feet
above the sea level, and will be seen in ordinary weather
at a distance of 17 or 18 miles.
Caution—Mariners approaching King island are parti
cularly directed to note the distinction between Currie

that a " Semper Augustus" ran up to 13,000,
an " Admiral Liefkins" to 4,500 florins.
In one Dutch city ten million tulip bulbs
were sold, and in Amsterdam some one
made 68,000 florins in four months in this
business. But all of a sudden came a
crash, and a " Semper Augustus" could be
bought for 50 florins ! In the following year
there was a somewhat similar mania for
hyacinths. Any one especially caring for
flowers would find a certain interest in look
ing this matter up ; there has been much
written on the subject. It is not only in the
gardens of Holland that your eyes are de
lighted with flowers, but among the chief
treasures of the numerous and valuable pic

fruit pieces. In fact, in this line of paint
ing the Dutch have been the teachers of the
world.
The surroundings of Harlem are famed
for their beauty. Wherever you go you are
met by blossoming gardens, by fine parks
and handsome country houses. I enjoyed
not a little one afternoon's excursion out to
the village of Bloemendaal. My seat was
high up on the box of the stage, with the
driver, whose musical horn gave the signal
for leaving. From my high vantage ground
I had an admirable opportunity of surveying
the country. For miles the way was bor
dered by a succession of fine residences,
some of them half hidden among the group
ing trees, or open to the sunlight and front
ed by brilliant parterres of autumn flowers
and ornamental shrubs sloping down to the
roadside. Comfort, wealth and taste were
everywhere evident. After the stage
dropped me, far out in the country, I started
on a voyage of discovery for the ruins of
the old castle of Count Budewde, one of
the old cavaliers who made so much noise
towards the beginning of the mighty contest
which field this country in its grasp so long
It was indeed a voyage of discovery, through
leafy country lanes, down shadowy windings
of a somewhat uncertain road, but at the
end of them all 1 found the old castle. It is
a most picturesque a (Fair in its ruin and age.
The walls are still in some places massive
and strong, and the heavy arches of the
foundations show that it was built for days
of storm and siege There are one or two
narrow little winding stairways by which
you can mount up to where the old tower
once stood. I was charmed and delighted
with the peacefulness of the scene. I was,
as it were, in possession of the ruin. The
grey-haired old gate-keeper was far below,
under the willows by the moat. The sky
was softly grey. The air Wos so still, so
hushed, that it was almost a relief to hear
the musical tinkle of the bells of the sleek
cattle in the meadows below. The great
walls, shattered, maimed, wrecked by time
and disuse, the rooms and halls opened to
the sky, lost something of their gauntness,
their naked poverty under the festooning
and mantling beauty of the luxuriant ivy,
that good Samaritan to such reminders of
the past, robbed of the treasures and glory
of their youth. The moat water still sur
rounds the castle in its decay, but is tangled
with reeds and grasses. I wonder would
the once dashing Count Budewde recognise
his old castle should he come back again ?
In going on to the Hague we passed by
Leiden, abounding in interesting historic
memories, and to-day in many quaint
buildings, interesting collections and pictur
esque views. But the chief delight ot my
visit here was to see the old tower in the
center of the city, so old that really it is not
known how old it is, but first definitely
mentioned something like eight or nine hun
dred years ago. I climbed up on to its wall
and looked out through ihe drooping branch
es of the trees surrounding it. Motley has
a beautiful notice of this tower in his noble
" Dutch .Republic." It is almost buried
away now under splendid masses of foliage,
but one can still see the red-tiled roofs of the
houses below. Sitting in this leafy covert,
with the distant sounds of the city, the
chiming of the bells, -the murmur of the
trees to keep me company, I thought of that
long and weary watch kept from this tower
to see if aid was coming to the assistance of
the besieged. It was a brave and daring
idea, that of William of Orange, to flood the
low-lying meadow lands and to sail with
friendly ships up to the very walls of the
city ! How the people must have rejoiced
at this almost miraculous salvation ! Our
old tower seems still to cherish a quaint
sort of joy now at the remembrance of this
watery discomfiture of the haughty Span
iards.
The University of Leiden has been one of
the most famous in all Europe. The story
is that, as a reward for their bravery and
endurance, the Prince of Orange gave the
people their choice of exemption from taxes
or a University, and they wisely chose the
latter. It was founded in 1575. Some of
the most famous professors of Europe taught
here— Hugo Grotius, Descartes, Scaliger,
and many others. The library is immensely
valuable. Even to-day the Faculties of
Medicine and Natural History enjoy a high
reputation.
The Hague is the place of residence of
the King, although the real capital of Hol
land is Amsterdam. It is a very bright,
animated city. The new portions and sub
urbs of the city are extensive and elegantly
laid out. Many of its ancient buildings are
of great historical importance, and its Royal
Picture Gallery is alone worth a visit to
Holland. Near the capital, giving an oppor
tunity for a delightful walk or drive, lies the
fashionable watering-place Scheveningen.
The way thither lies through the most
beautiful forest, one of the most delightful
places I have seen in all Europe. One may
here at Scheveningen have the pleasure and
advantages of a seaside resort—the bathing,
the grand ocean view, the invigorating air—
and is at the same time in easy reach of the
capital, with its comfort and elegance and
numerous art treasures.
It was with no little eager anticipation
that I visited that sleepy, quiet town, Delft.
After crossing the frontier, there was no
place in Holland I so longed to see as this,
where that great and good man, William the
Silent, is buried. It is a queer little place
—very, very Dutch. The streets are rough
and paved with round stones. The canals
are here and there filled with great flat-
bottomed boats with brown sails. The
houses, the people, the churches, look as if
they belonged to some oldgpicture. It was
once famed for its porcelain ware, which
took the name of the place, but very little is
now manufactured here. In the " Nieuwe
Kerk," the New Church, on the great mar
ket place, is the splendid and elaborate
monument erected by all the United Prov
inces in 1621 to their fallen chief. It is an
elaborate structure, a marble canopy over'
the reclining figure of the Prince. There
are many symbolic and allegorical figures.
I was touched to see at the base of the
monument a wreath of immortelles from
/South Africa ! The glory and beauty of
such a life never dies. There is nothing
more impressive about the monument than
the carved motto, " Je maintiendrai pi&e et
justice," and the Prince's motto, " Saevis
tranquillus in undis" (C«)m in the midst of
fierce billows). Could any words have been
more appropriately chosen ? They give, as
it were, in one grand picture, the noble life
of this calm and undaunted hero and Chris
tian ! Crossing to another part of the city,
in the noon sunshine, I found the house,
now used for the garrison, where the Prince
of Orange was assassinated. A crowd of
fresh country recruits were loitering awk
wardly about the gateway, and I prevailed
upon one of them to show me the spot where
his grent countryman fell. You go over a
little courtyard and then within a rather low
doorway. The Prince was coming down the
stairway accompanied by his suite The
assassin, Balthasar Gerhard, from the side
fired at him. Some of the marks of the
shot are still to be seen in the wall. There
was a certain strange sacredness to me
about this spot where one of the greatest of
great men fell, his dying thoughts being of
the people he was leaving fatherless, and of
the Divine Master to whom he was going,
and whom he had served as so faithful and
valiant a soldier here. If a young man
wants to study a grand character, let him
read the life of Williiun the Silent, and if
in reading his heart grows tender and his
eye moist, his arm will grow stronger for
all brave and manly and chivalrous deeds.
Rotterdam is a busy, bustling, driving
place. It was the home of the learned
Erasmus, whose monument stands on one of
the public " Places" of the city. The story
runs that the bronze figure turns over one of
the pages in the ponderous tome he is read
ing when the huge bell of the neighboring
cathedral strikes at midnight ! The various
harbors and canals are filled with shipping
from all parts of the world. There comes
to me now so vividly the memory of one rare
sunset in Rotterdam. The red light lingered
and lingered as if loth to die. The domes,
the spires, the towers of the city rose into a
glorious sky, as if spurning the mists and
smoke of labor beneath. The thousand
masts of the vessels grouped like the leafless
trees of a forest in winter. The water
gleamed like a fiery sea, then softened to
tenderer tints, and then faded into the night.
It may be of interest to some to have
stated something of the present condition of
Holland. The country is divided into
eleven provinces, and had, by the census of
1875, leaving out Luxemburg, a population
ol 3,809,527 souls. The country is in many
respects in a prosperous condition, and as

A PEEP AT THE PAST.
Some one lately in Germany has been
giving a lecture entitled " Home-sickness for
the Middle Ages." I am quite confident
that yoa and 1 are thoroughly, abundantly
satisfied that our lot has been cast in this
age, and that we are not troubled by
any sentimental longings for a period when
life must have been far less pleasant on the
whole, I fancy, than now. Still with many
others we share a certain fondness for that
period, which, perhaps, owing to the magical
haze of distance we imagine possessed a cer
tain poetic charm, which seeing by the un
der glare of the present, seems to be lacking
in our own time. Hence we welcome any
lingering relic of that lading past with espe
cial interest, In Antwerp they have been
especially happy in preserving a delightful
old house, which one may to-day visit at his
leisure, and so to say, dropping the present
at the portal, step in crossing the threshold
into the times of men and women who lived
some three hundred years ago. This is the
house ot the famous printer and publisher.
Christian Plaittin. For generations and
generations the mansion has been in the
possession of his descendants and was at
last bought by the city of Antwerp, with its
furniture, its carpets, pictures, portraits, etc..
so that you have a rare picture of an old
Flemish patrician mansion of that period.
It seemed as if the stately portraits on the
walls warmed into life, as one gazed upon
them, and out of their satins and velvets
smiled in welcome to those comers of a later
day. There are here lordly banqueting
halls, reception rooms and library. The
mansion incloses a large central court,
whose wall? are thickly covered with grape
vines, amid whose clustering leaves look out
ancient statues and busts. It is a most
charming listening place, full of dreamy
memories when the Autumn sunshine
lights the courts. Of great historical value
are the ancient printing presses, the type
and early impressions made so long ago.
One is astonished to see how far they had
progressed, especially in the work of wood
cuts and engravings at that early day.
STRAY NOTES.
I find looking over my note-book a host of
incidents and scenes in connection with Bel
gium, it would be of the greatest pleasure to
paint for you. I find, however, on the other
hand that my time is so limited that I must
force myself to tell you a little of what 1
might have done, had my time allowed.
After Antwerp I would have asked you to
come with me to Ghent, once so great and
powerful, now so quaint, and staid and quiet
in its great age. We would have climbed
the narrow, dark stone stairs of the ancient
tower leading up to the belfry, where still
the famous bell Roland, which called the
people to arms in the fierce old fighting days.
Through the dust and rust we can still read
the inscription of 1659, " Myn naem is
Jtoeland, als ick klippe dan is't brandt;
als ick luyde, dan is't storm in Vlaendtr-
land." Ghent abounds in interesting re
minders of the past, sad, poetic, heroic, pa
thetic. Ancient buildings, stone paved mar
ket places, towering church spires, all re
mind us of days that are gone. And with
our thoughts of rather in the past and pre
sent, we take an especial pleasure in attend
ing a vesper service, in the chapel of an an
cient convent in the suburbs of the city.
This is an order where history goes back
hundreds of years. The nuns are sisters of
charity whose lives are full of good works
and kindness. Here they have their home.
It is a little village in itself, nothing would
interest you more in Belgium than a visit here.
As the vesper bell tolls, you see from every
side approaching the black robed forms of
the sisters with their spreading white caps.
The beautiful gothic gateways through
which they come, the picturesque turn to
and gables where deep shadows fall upon
the convent paths, seem a fitting frame for
these silent forms. And there in the chapel
it is strangely effective, hundreds of kneel
ing forms, a picture in white and black dim
ly lighted in the dusky twilight by the
solemn lamp before the altar, chants and
prayers arising, now faint and distant, now
firm and triumphant, from this great chorus
of devoted women. How delightful ii would
have been to have lingered with you
•' In the anoient town ot Bruges
la ibe quaint old Flemish oily."
It was like the realization of some long
ago dream to be here How from earliest
child-hood Bruges had been a sweet and
familiar name, lighting ones fancy with
rare and poetic coloring. Travelers, poets,
artists have made us familiar with its an
cient streets and buildings, with its famous
history, with its eventful past. Longfellow's
verses are in every ones heart and thoughts.
The same sweet bells in the " Belfry of
Bruges " chimes out melodiously the hours
as of yore. The streets are peaceful and
still as if some enchanter had doomed them
to perpetual sleep. Where once was gay
life and busy traffic, now the grass unhind
ered finds a home amid the well worn
stones of the pavement The winding
canals, bordered with lofty houses, where
gables and quaint ornaments stand out in
sharp relief against the blue of the sky, are
35
still the delight of painters. It is a place
for dreaming, for resting. I had the
pleasantest of rooms in the nicest of little
inn's on the great Market Place of Bruges
just opposite the belfry. If you come to
Bruges some day, for which I hope with
all my heart, then do go to the neat little
" Punier cTOr." You will have the grand
music of the chimes for company. How
the mention of the bells of Bruges, of Bel
gium, fills me with a sort ot longing and
homesickness, now so far away. One grows
to love the chimes, to watch for their
ringing. They seem to pour a flood of
melody, of poetry into the most poetic
hour and day, with their " deep sonorous
clangor." It is perhaps well I am Lrced
to say nothing in reference to Bruges. I
might have proved wearisome in my en
thusiasm, had 1 been allowed once to begin.
Ostemi lies not far away from Bruges, and
is one of the most fashionable water
ing places in all Europe where the gay
and brilliant summer life of the continent
blossoms for a short time on the gray
sands, washed by the waves of the North
Sea. You would find the railway of
Belgium commences excellent, yet you
would almost wish the train did not need
to fly so swiftly through the level and
fertile and carefully tilled country districts,
which stretch about you like great gardens,
but steam once on, we are forced to go.
We find Brussels charming, brilliant, gay,
filled with restless modern life, sharply
contrasting with a background of ancient
modern memories. How many places we
would visit; we would go to Souvani,
to Mechlin, to Sournay, but these for
another time ; and now ovSr the border
again, with a glance at Aix-la Chapelle,
with its interesting cathedral and memories
of Charlemagne, and we take breath again
in the shadow of the glorious Cathedral of
Cologne, and with heart and brain filled
with sweet and pleasant memories of Bel
gium, look back once and as to a dearly
loved friend, send one more greeting,
and " au revoir."

Tol in some of the dialects, means hill, or

Ta is really sounded like u in tub, it is
strikingly like the first half of the word To

Pik, or Pok, meaning sand, though written
differently for euphony sake, is a very com
mon name for islets. In one case this Pik

GoLDEN RULE.—Fallacies are very long
lived. We overheard a conversation the
other day in which the old delusion came
out, as fresh as ever : “After all, it don’t
matter what a man 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
inspiration to right doing in a firm belief in
a holy, just and merciful God? It is time
that the old fallacy which denies this should
be rooted out. Thinking, feeling, and act dia, Burmah, and North and South Ceylon,

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 " Ar
thur's Seat," we were in Edinburgh. I
could have wished it might have been possi
ble to linger amid the classic region of the
" Lake District," at whose hills and moun
tains we were permitted to gaze from a dis
tance. 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 so 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
under the 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, bor
dered by hedges, gave way to grassy hill
sides, 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 healthful-
ness in the very air. which spoke to us 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.

know. We saw him for a little time in the
early evening, and enjoyed extremely his
kindly and friendly words. I shall take
away with me into life, two pleasant memo
ries of the visit. One, the picture of the
doctor sitting before the cheery, glowing fire,
with his kindly, benignant face, filled with a
gbntle thoughtfulness and crowned by soft
white, silvered hair. The other, the touch
of his manly hand (which has written noth
ing that is not sweet and pure and noble) on

blessing.
After other calls, as we were going home
later under the light of a great silver moon,
which shone in its glorious fullness in a
cloudless sky, thinking of all the goodness
and greatness the city held, I felt it far
from easy to say "good-bye" to Edinburgh.
A " CAPPING " CEREMONY.
The morning after our arrival in Edin
burgh we had the pleasure of attending a
very interesting ceremony of the University,
the conferring of degrees. Armed with our
tickets of admission we valiantly fought our
way with the eager and waiting crowd te
our seats in the Assembly Hall, where the
ceremony took place. This hall is used for
the meeting of the General Assembly of the
Church of Scotland, and its beautiful spire
is one of the ornaments of the city of Edin
burgh. The University holds a most hon
orable place among European Universities,
and its College of Surgeons has a world-wide
fame. Among the present Professors, per
haps, no name is more widely known than
that of Professor Blackie, of whom I may
speak further on. The ceremony of " cap
ping " as it is styled is simple and pictures
que. The scene which the house presented
when filled was most interesting, not to say
impressive. The sides and galleries were
filled with a throng of ladies and gentlemen,
very eagerly attentive, most of them proba
bly personal friends of the students, for
whom this day was so full of meaning. The
Chancellor of the University ai d the Pro
fessors of the different Faculties occupied
the seats at the head of the house. Near
them were the gentlemen from other Univer
sities, on whom the highest honors of that
of Edinburgh were to be conferred. A
fine company they were. Many with grand
heads and ample foreheads, crowned with
silvery hair. The students had their places
in the body of the house. Nothing in all
the world, 1 think, is more touching, more
inspiring than a company of students on
their graduation day, so full of hope, of am
bition, of untried courage. They stand on
the bridge between boyhood and manhood,
with the mingled beauty of both in their
glance, with ideals lustrous and golden be
fore them, and a cloudless sky above them.
One heard as it were the throb of all those
glad young hearts and felt the sweet, fresh
spirit of their breezy young manhood. I
would scarcely call them handsome fellows,
but they had a true, open manly look that
was peculiarly attractive. There is a strong,
earnest, thoughtful and undaunted look in
Scotch eyes, which I like immensely. The
Scotch face, unless its lines are softened by
some inner spirit of peace and tenderness,
grows often hard with the years, somewhat

grim and severe. But the young men's
faces- are so full of abounding strength, so
promise full of boundless persistent effort
on the part of their owners, that they im
press you rather as those of men who have
won the battle than as those of untried sol
diers. They were certainly a fine lot of men
waiting for the '' capping." They wore
their student mantles of black, with hoods
lined with white. There were those just
ready to take the first leap out into the sea
beyond. Those further on in honors had
other colors, some green, some purple, with
here and there a border of fur. All the ex-
excises were in English, not a word of clas
sic Latin. I rather liked this on the whole.
Though now and then the ceremony seemed
a little bare and awkward without this tradi
tional and scholastic coloring. A number of
gentlemen who had in literary, or scientific,
or ecclesiastic walks, especially distinguished
themselves, received first the honorary titles,
which it is in the power of the University to
bestow. Their virtues and attainments were
announced in sonorous voice, and elegantly
sounded periods by some of the professors,
and each received on his bent head the touch
of the academic "cap" from the hand of the
Chancellor. Then the students, aspirants
for the degrees of M. A. and B. A. passed
rapidly through the same ceremony. This
was followed by the principal event of the
morning, the address of Professor Blackie
to the graduating classes. This was so uni
que, so filled with the fresh, racy, original
poetic and somewhat audacious spirit of the
Professor, that I wish 1 could send you the
whole of it, with its ringing words. It was
full of wise, healthy admonitions to those
starting in life, and the beauty of it was the
striking and delightful way in which he put
many old truths.
SOME CLASSIC NOOKS OF SCOTLAND.
The very air of Scotland is full of poetry,
and the land is sown with it. Every breeze
that sweeps down from its uplands and rus
tles in the buds and blossoms of the dawning
spring, is laden with a thousand messages
from the past. Every lonely mountain tarn
and babbling burn has its story to tell. The
golden-crowned furze springs from the soil
of battle fields, dyed red with the blood
of heroes. Shadowy Highland glens are
still grandly musical with the psalms of the
covenanters. You seem to hear the dashing
ringing notes of Border songs, and the swift
rush of the horses and the war calls of the
troopers. While above all, above the war
of the battle, the revelers of court and camp,
the sounds of joy and sorrow, the anthems
of ocean waves on rocky coasts, the songs of
the birds in spring, rises the triumphant
'« Hallelujah " of the martyrs of Scotland,
worthy members of that "grand army,"
whose blood-stained roll call is the glorious
heritage of Christendom !
Amid such a throng of historic and poetic
scenes it was far from easy to decide where
to go. following our own inclinations. But
the brief limit of our time forced us to con
fine ourselves to one or two excursions in
the comparatively near neighborhood of
Edinburgh. Had it been possible, how
gladly we would have visited the " Blessed
Isle " of Iona, with its memories of early
Christianity, not far away from the grand
SI
natural beauties of Staffa, or have journeyed
to the many points whose place in history and
poetry the great genius of Scott has fixed
forever. 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 lux
uriant, 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 charm
ing, 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 totter
ing, and shadowy guide (he might have
dated from Queen Mary's days) told us a
secret passage ran far away from the castle
t<J some opening beyond. The opposite bank,
some one said, would be as blue as the sum
mer sky a little later on, when the blue bells
came. Further down the stream, reached
by a lovely, romantic way under the arch
ing 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 I am sure you would never have for
given 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 con
tentment seemed to rise like a continual
hymn from the quiet meadow lands and
grass grown hill sides. We had much plea
sure in visiting Abbotsford, which the mem-
ery of Sir Walter Scott renders so striking
ly 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 novel
ist. 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 in
teresting: painfully, for you feel the empti
ness, the vanity of all this now dusty mate
rial wealth for which the great poet, with
a pathetic weakness, sacrificed so much and
labored as under the lash. But he left his
name '' unstained ! "

the latter service of the Abbey less exalted
than that of earlier days? I want always
in discouraged moments, which come more
or less to us all, perhaps, to bear in mind
the memory of those two arches at the side,
rising above ruin, defeat, neglect, trustfully
clinging to a central and common wall of
support, which lifts itself triumphantly far
up towards the bending heaven, and there
unfurls its banner of hope, festoons of green
est ivy.

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 histo
ric past, watched over by the sacred memo
ries of this holy place, he lies till the morn
ing dawn. The Tweed is near at hand,
broadening here to a noble river, whose blue
depths mirror sheltering banks of rare beau
ty. 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. For us all, for
honored dead and reverent pilgrims, there
seems a blessing in the place and hour!

On the evening of the 3d ult., the ladies
of the Woman's Board gave their annual tea
party to the native pastors and delegates.
One hundred tickets of admission were
issued, and nearly all were present. The
supper which was gotten up under the im
mediate supervision of Mrs. W. F. Allen,
was a great success. During the' evening
addresses were made by Ex-Gov. Wells,
Hons. W. M. Gibson and L. Aholo, Rev. A.
O. Forbes, Henry Waterhouse, and a few
others. From the frequent applause which
greeted their remarks, it was evident that
their sentiments were fully enjoyed by the
natives. We are glad to know that the
ladies of the Board take such an interest in
getting up the tea party each year. We
know that it is appreciated by the recipients,
for they look forward to it every year with
great pleasure, as one of the bright events of
their stay in Honolulu.
We learn from the P. C. Advertiser of
the 26th ult., that the Y. M. C. A. has ap
pointed a committee to prepare and circu
late for signatures among the owners, man
agers, and agents of the various sugar and
rice plantations, petitions to be presented to
the King urging the continuance of the pre
sent policy of prohibitive legislation against
1 iquor 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 Legis
lature in refusing to grant a subsidy to the
proposed Chinese line of steamers.

Our walks and rambles and visits led us
into various and widely different portions of
the city. Though for nearly a month we
were constantly occupied, and yet after all it
seemed as if we had just begun with this
unending town. Historical London would
give you work enough for months. Modern
London is fascinating enough to occupy
your*houghts and attention for a long, long
time. The city is so constantly in a state
of growth, that even were there a possibility
of exhausting its past, it would require a
mind of more than the nverage force to
keep pace with its onward march. We saw
London in the lively month of May, the
dearly loved season of the English, when
the country rushes to the city and the city
puts on its best array. The streets were bril
liant in their show and bustle. The parks
crowded, society was in full bloom. I
scarcely think an American is long in Lon
don without turning his steps to the venera
ble Westminister Abbey, where the sacred
dust of so many of England's noblest sons is
laid. There are many cathedrals more
beautiful than this, but I know of none
where I would like longer to linger. There
is a certain delicious charm in an afternoon
hour spent here, which is unique. Whether
others than those of our race feel this, I do
not know, but for all those who claim
English, as their mother tongue, it must
continue to be a sort of hallowed Mecca,
whither reverent pilgrimages shall lend trom
all parts of the world. The " Poets Corner"
is eloquent with the names, and memories
of the great singers, who since Chaucer's
day have poured forth the glorious strains
which fill English literature with lofty and
undying music. The walls, the pavements,
the columns of this grand " Cainpo Santo,"
bear the tablets of a multitude of those
whom England and the world delight to
honor, though their names now no longer
are those of the living. If one was per
mitted to visit in England only the Abbey ;
to listen once to the silvery music of the
choral service, rising towards the fretted
vault above, in long delicious waves of melo
dy ; to watch the chastened, mellowed rays
of colored light falling in silent blessing on
the quiet resting places of tkings, of priests,
and prelates, of historians, of poets, of philo
sophers, and of martyrs now in glory ; to
feel the inspiration and sacred benediction
of this temple and shrine, his visit would
not have been in vain.
The cloisters of the Abbey, and the Chap
ter-House are all exceedingly interesting.
We were permitted through the kindly
courtesy of the Dean of the Abbey, to visit
the so-called •' Jerusalem Chamber," famous
as the spot where the Divines were assem
bled in the 17th century to prepare the
" Westminster Catechism." and destined to
be still further renowned in ecclesiastical
history as the gathering place of the revisers
of the Bible in the 19th century.. For
ten years or more the Committees of Revi
sion have held here their meetii.gs, and their
work still goes forward.

ment during the early part of our stay, and
as we were leaving the country, the new
members were taking their seats in the mag
nificent Parliament House, which rises in
such a stately way, from the very waters of
the Thames. This mighty architectural
pile was to me a constant delight while in
London. Just this portion of the great city,
with this glorious building, the view with its
stately bridges, the Abbey near by, form one
of the most wonderful sights I know of any
where in the world. Let a faint haze of
mist rise about all these points, let the sun
shoot arrows of yellow light through this,
illuminating the tremulous, and you have
before you a magically enchanted wonder.
The towers, tuimels. battlements, arches and
spires, float in a golden vapory sea. Your
bridges connect phantom banks. Bells chime
with muffled tunes from out floating clouds,
which seein alive with sound. Men and
women wander in this dim world of
mist and sunshine like ghosts. Such sights
Turner, the great painter of England saw,
and tried to reproduce in those strange, fas
cinating pictures which are treasured in the
National Gallery.
The Thames is marvelous in its ugliness
and beauty. It is crossed with huge bridges,
crowded from morning till night with un
ending streams of human beings. You
should see these bridges from beneath, and
then you get something of an idea of their
grandeur and immensity. Down the river
are forests of masts, its surface is covered
with hundreds of little steamers rushing
hither and thither in all directions like un
easy spirits. On one of them we go up the
river, a charming excursion. We steam by
the superb embankment, bordering the river,
and wonder at the energy of modern Eng
land which brought hither the stately Needle
of Cleopatra from its warm home in Egyp
tian sands, and placed it here facing the
" river of ten thousand masts." The banks
grow more and more interesting. We stop
at quiet, sleepy old Chelsea, and just drive
to one of the dull, uninteresting looking
houses in Cheyne Walk, stay and look at it
a little while with absorbing interest, and
then drive away Hgain, to the great wonder
and disgust of our coachman, who
fails to see how there can be a certain de
light and satisfaction for us in looking at
the dull red bricks, which shelter the author
of the •' French Revolution," the historian
of Frederick the Great, and the grandest
enthusiast and grumbier of the century.
So our little steamer puffs and pants further
up the river, which grows clearer and kind
lier, and whose bordering banks grow green
er and fairer. But we must leave a great
deal that we would like to say for another
day, and perhaps, if you do not grow weary,
tell you later on something more about Lon
don, and places near London, and about cer
tain interesting people we were privileged to
meet in city, town and country.

For several years he has been in habit of
visiting St. Petersburg and 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 bit

have succeeded in procuring this severe in

class at the house of General Pashkoff, from
which the leaven has spread, till now there
are fifteen similar meetings in St. Peters

ence over the city and even into the pro

A New Sailors' Institute.—We have
received a circular in regard to the inaugu
ration of the "New British and American
Sailors' Institute," at Hamburg, which
was to take place on the 21st of June. 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 1
precisely. The Rev. E. W. Matthews, Sec
retary 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 dai
ly expected, with some four or five hundred
Chinese passengers. These frequent addi
tions 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 in
creasing pagan element among the Chris
tianized 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 am
ple field for labor. From whence shall we
look for one, and who will support him ?
We «ave 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,"

Returning to Edinburgh, we spent a few
more days amid its remarkable places and
people, not omitting a visit to the graves of
Chalmers, Duff, Guthrie and Hugh Miller,
but a more noted spot still, that where John
Knox was buried. We must not omit to re

School, which our friend, Miss Bird, has
done so much to erect, and for which the
good people of Honolulu and Hilo contribu
ted so generopsly. We are able to bear our
testimony to the present usefulness of the
institution, for daily, the sick and lame re
sort thither to receive gratuitous medical
aid.
After bidding our kind friends adieu in
Scotland, we came to London, visiting on
our way the Cathedrals of Durham, York
and Peterboro. We arrived in London,
May 1st, the day fixed upon when leaving
Honolulu. The anniversaries had already
commenced, and we were immediately in
terested in attending upon the meetings.
Not being able to be present at all, we select
ed those of a world-wide influence, and
about which we had read and heard so much,
viz : " British and Foreign Bible Society;
Church Missionary Society; London Mis
sionary Society; Religious Tract Society
and British and Foreign Sailor's Society."
Upon the public meetings of these socie
ties, we were promptly present nnd listened
to reports and speeches. It will of course
be quite impossible in the narrow columns
of the Friend, more than to allude to
these great gatherings of the friends of
humanity, missions and Christianity. Re
ports and addresses were most inspiring to
any one whose heart is in sympathy with the
onward progress of the gospel among the
nations of the earth. Africa, India and
China were made quite conspicuous, but no
speeches interested us more than those of
the Kev. Messrs. Lawes and Macfarlane,
Pioneer Missionaries and Explorers on the
great Island of New Guinea. These speakers
were both instructive and eloquent, holding
the large audience in. Exeter Hall spell
bound. The Rev. J. R. Wolfe, a missiona
ry of the Church Missionary Society in
Foochow, in China, spoke most forcibly and
and appropriately.
Twice have we enjoyed the privilege of
listening to Mr. Spurgeon. On one occa
sion, before the Religious Tract Society, in
Exeter Hall, and on another, in his own
Tabernacle, while addressing seamen, sea
men's preachers and the friends of seamen.
It was on a week day evening, at the special
invitation of the B. and F. Sailor's Socie
ty. Mr. Spurgeon still maintains his
FRIEND, AUGUST, 1880.
firm hold on the public. It is quite aston- 1
ishinsr how he continues onward, from year I
to year, always good and always eloquent.
His address before the Religious Tract So-
ciety in Exeter Hall, bubbled over with good
humor. He possesses more genuine humor
than we imagined. As he stood among a
circle of D. Ds. on the platform, a bishop
having just spoken, his peroration was in
these words, " God bless the Bishop and the
D. Ds." [Great applause.]
We must again refer to the speeches of
Messrs. Lawes and Macfarlane on New
Guinea, and only regret thut their extreme
length will not allow us to reprint them.
That island is more worthy of the name of
" Dark Continent " than even Africa.
It is a great and magnificent portion of
earth's domain, but needs exploring and
evangelizing. It opens a wide and noble
field for the daring, adventurous and bold
standard bearer of the Cross.
The anniversary meeting of the British
and Foreign Sailor's Society, and the Sailor's
Home Society of London, were full of in
terest. The London Sailor's Home is tru
ly a mammoth institution, complete within
itself, even to keeping a stall for horses, to
transport the sailor's chests to and from the
ships to the Home. The immense edifice
will accommodate 500 boarders, and usually
has from 300 to 400 as inmates. There are
but few rules, and seamen feel at liberty to
do pretty much as they please. It is pro
vided with a Reading Room, Clothing Slore,
Bank, Chapel and Lecture Room. It was
encouraging to learn, as I glanced over the
records of the Lecture Room, that our old
friend, Admiral Provost, goes down there,
and frequently conducts the weekly prayer
meeting for sailors.
London abounds with societies of every
description, which are now holding their
anniversaries. If we were to copy even
their names, the list would fill up our letter.
It is not uncommon for ladies and gentle
men from the highest walks in life, to
descend to the lower strata of society, and
there labor among the poor and degraded.
While English people are doing so much for
Foreign Missions, they are also laboring in
the home field. Recently Mr. James E.
Matheson has given up his business as a
banker in Lombard street, in order to suc
ceed the Honorable Captain Moreton, as a
Manager of the Mildmay Conference Hall,
and our correspondent, Mr. Macfie, says
that he is "one of the excellent of the earth."
But we must close, although we feel in
clined to write a volume upon the May
meetings.
Since writing the above, I have visited the
Mildmay Mission, and there met Mr. Ma-
theson, who is greatly interested in mis-
sion work in London. At some future time
we may furnish our readers with a more
full account of this remarkable institution, to
bring the gospel to the houses of the poor of
London, while administering to their tem-
p0ral necessities. About fifty deaconesses
are in the employ of the society.
I Could Not Do Without Thee.
I could not do without Thee,
O, Saviour of the lost !
Whose precious blood redeemed me
At HHch tremendous cost.
Thy righteousness, Thy merit,
Thy precious blood must be,
My only hope of pardon,
My glory and my plea.
1 could not do without Thee,
1 cannot stand alone ;
1 have no strength, or goodness,
No wisdom of my own :
But Thou, beloved Saviour,
Art all in all to me ;
And weakness will be power,
If leaning hard on Thee.
I could not do without Tbee.
For O the way is-luug ;
And I am often weary,
And sigh replaces sons:.
How could 1 do without Tbee ?
I do not know the way ;
Thou knowest and Thou leadest,
And will not lei me stray.
I could not do without Thee,
U Jrsus, Saviour dear !
E'en when my eyes are holdeti
1 know that Thou art Dear.
How dreaiy and how louely
This chaugelul world would be.
Without the sweet Communion —
The secret rest with Thee.
I could not do without Thee,
No other friend can read
The spirit's strange, deep longing,
Interpreting its need.
No human heart could enter
Kach dim recess ol mine,
And soothe and hush, and calm it;
O blessed Lord, like Thine.
1 eould not do without Thee,
For years are fleeting fast.
And soon in solemn loneliness
The river must be passed ;
But Thou wilt never leave me.
And though the waves roll high.
I know Thou wilt be near me,
And whisper, " It is I."

ford 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. 1 can through no
words of description convey to you an ade
quate and correct idea of the rare and pecu
liar beauty of Cambridge. How I wish it
were in my power to do so. You pass be
neath massive and imposing arches, bearing
the date of centuries long departed, arid 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 build
ings, 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 ban
ners 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 sur
round 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 ihe 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 and statesmanship.
Especial attentinn is here paid to mathema
tical study, while at Oxford the 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 ver
dant 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
one of the finest libraries in the world. A
monument on one of the principal avenues,
marks the spot where Kid ley, Lh timer and
Cranmer, found a martyr's glorious death in
the midst of persecuting flames. If we
found Cambridge deserted, we found Ox
ford populous with students. It was at the
height of the examination period, and young
Oxford was in a state of suspense and ex
citement. The week following, the various
exercises connected with commemoration
were to take place. 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 say
ing 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 possi
ble." You may have heard on the other
hand of the Frenchman who said he would
r.ither 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 Ameri
can 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 Lon
don 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 pow
er and note in this world of a city. In the
English pulpit to-day, are some of the strong
est men, an English speaking race has giv
en the latter half of this country. Whether
churchmen or non-conformists, they are right
ly to be considered as among the grandest
of the purifying, civilizing, spiritualizing
forces at work in the world.
Spurgeon is now one of the sights people
cross the Atlantic to see, as they come for
the Cathedral at Cologne, or the Abbey at
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 pri
vate 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
names than for any other reason. While
those of our own century we fail to honor
as they deserve. But, as I 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 Lon
don is Mr. Spurgeon's church, filled with
thousands of people, every pew packed and
the aisle crowded. The church is so ar
ranged that the galleries run entirely around
67
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 inspir
ing. A little stout, 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 have come in vain, and that for
this evening some one is to take Mr. Spur
geon's place. But presently he gives out
the opening hymn, and then reads one of the
| Psalms of Duvid. amd now we are sure the
I famous preacher is before us. For there is
! only one voice like his i'i London, in Eng-
I land, so elastic, 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 expres
sion, but never in a grand, convincing earn
estness, in a large bntherly tenderness. Thou
sands 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 and
shadow. He speaks like a man, keenly
alive to the great, yearning needs of human
ity, 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 inspi
ration has descended, of the grand and
weighty themes of time and eternity. It is
impossible to be in his presence, and n"t to
feel the strong, grand spirit of this consecra
ted man. Almost more than arty one else I
! h ive ever seen, he seems to hnve attained to
I that ideal of the Christian life, which he
! himself holds in his lustrous heavenly beau-
, ty before his hearers —that life wherein
j " every meal becomes a sacrament ; every ves-
j ture, a vestment ; and every breath, a psalm !"
One could scarcely conceive of a greater
contrast than that which a service at West
minster Abbey offers, to one at Mr. Spur
geon's Tabernacle. The music in the Ab
bey, though so entirely different, is however
most beautifully impressive. We had the
pleasure of hearing the venerable and distin
guished Dean Stanley preach here on Whit-
Sunday. Dean Stanley's name is too well
