others of nearly equal rnnk, a censor and a vicegovernor. The duty of these latter officers is to
act ns reporters of the conduct of the amambassadors and others employed in the commission, and also to report anything that may pass
under their observation. '1 he number comprising
the embassy may tic thought by foreigners to bo

ideas prevail with our native nobility, us well as
with most semi-civilized people. Before starting,
the Japanese were assured that a train of servants

dollars was raised in Honolulu, for the purpose of

commencing a mission in Japan. There being
no way to use the fund, it was sent to Boston to be
appropriated by the American Board towards carry-

Rev. II. Wood, Chaplain of the Powhatan, was
in port, .the need of a house of worship for foreigners
in Yokohama was learned, and a meeting of the
directors of the Hawaiian Missionary Society was
held to sec if some means could not be devised to
assist in the above project. The result of the meeting
is expressed in the following resolution, which was
then adopted

Sandwich Islands, and now residing in the
United States. We hope it may prove correct, for an endowment of two professorships
is very much needed.
It alfords us great pleasure to learn that the
Hawaiian Government has donated fo the institution lands upon Maui and Kauai, valued
at $10,000. This grant, with the known
subscriptions, (if it be true that a professorship has been endowed,)' will increase the
funds of the institution to more than $30,000.
A much larger sum is however needed, before
the institution can be considered as placed
upon a permanent foundation. It is a source
of much thankgiving that a few tried friends
of the College, in the United States, and at
the islands, are determined to press forward
the endowment. There lies belore us the
letter from a friend of the College, residing
upon another island, intimating that a welldirected effort, in behalfof the College, should
be made upon the islands. He thus writes
*'I do love to see people help themselves all
they can, ami a little, more, ere they beg.
The right way of taking up this matter, and
the person to lead, would be worthy of sonic
consideration."
We think (he subject worthy of much consideration. Oahu College must be endowed !
Give up that institution, we and our children
might us well migrate elsewhere. We regard it of the very highest importance to
place that institution upon a permanent foundation, and the sooner the better.

knowledge. In a late number of (he American Messenger, we have met with a more
complete account of that school, which must
have been furnished by the liev. Mr. Wood.
We quote as follows :

THE FRIEND, APRIL, 1860.

remedial provision ; they are not founded in stream of emigration should set in so con-

the fitness of things, but in the unfitness.
From their decisions there is no appeal; they
are not only severe and exacting, but their
demands are never satisfied—every act of
obedience increases the extent of their subsequent claims; they are unscrupulous of the
rights of others ; they erect no barriers in defense of the weak, and afford no shield for
the protection of innocency. They are the offspring of folly, the defense of wrong, and
the measure of physical, intellectual and
spiritual ruin ; the obedience of its subjects
causes it to differ from that of other empires.
These laws, however rigid and severe, are
readily obeyed ; nothing, nothing, is too dear
and costly to offer at this shrine ; the wealth
and property of long years of toil and care
are eagerly brought and readily yielded up
to appease the thirst of this demon. Fame,
honor, office and position arc all laid at its
feet; obligations the most sacred are readily
thrown off at its command, attachments the
closest and purest are severed at its word,
the most exalted talents are placed at its disposal, manhood and beauty make but a feeble
resistance to its inexorable claims. Indeed no
citizens of any earthly empire pay so dearly
for their citizenship, and yet there are none
that complain so little of this severity; it is
not found necessary to keep up an armed
force to keep down rebellion, although this
taxation is severe, and this reign one of iniquity. Sometimes we find men asserting their
rights and gaining their independence, but
they are in great danger of being brought
back to obedience. This obedience so readily and promptly rendered, is not because of
its reasonableness, nor is it owing to any
benefit proposed to be conferred ; the voice of
reason is not heard in the tumult and clamor
of passion, and motives of interest have no
weight when opposed by sensual indulgence.
This is a strange and unique empire; it is
strong only for mischief, it is great only for
wrong, it is ancient only for its guilt; its
commerce is upon every sea, its trade is
almost boundless, and yet an everlasting paralysis destroys its energies ; boastful of its
wealth, it is actually poor; fascinated with
its illusions of happiness, it but faintly
apprehends the depths of its misery. Throughout its extensive domains squalled poverty
wanders in its rags, pinching want forces out
a scanty subsistence, sensuality riots in its
filth, pale disease pines away in adversity,
and crime, with its brood of vipers, poisons
the citadel of life. This is a dark and dismal empire ; no cheerful sun ushers in a dayspring of hope, no returning spring brings to
it the bloom of beauty and of life, no notes
of melody enlivens its torper or drowns the
discord of its fiendish revelries, no golden
summers bring to maturity the fruits of love,
no mellow autumns bend under the weight
of their gifts and temptingly ask to be relieved from their load ; over it withering
siroccoes sweep and angry tempests rage;
living volcanoes are here always in action,
disgorging themselves over the face of
those ill-fated dominions; here green-eyed
envy lurks, here anger swells, here hatred
and revenge feed themselves, here evils breed
themselves and send forth over these gloomyrealms a strange, distorted, but innumerable
progeny —strange that it should be so populous and extensive, but stranger still that the

stantly to its shores.
The sovereign of this empire differs from
all others. There he sits upon his throne of
skulls, the hoary monarch of antiquity, numbering more years than all the monarchs that
ever lived on the earth. He has watched the
rise and fall of ancient empires, and has himself contributed not a little to their decay.
He is the conqueror of kings, and of the
greatest military heroes. He can boast of
more victories than a Napoleon, and can
point to bloodier fields and greater carnage
than all the warriors of time. An Alexander
met a stouter foe and a more formidable antagonist in him than in the swarming armies
of Persia, or in the invincible legions of the
Greeks. He is an arbitrary sovereign; his
will is a law; he surveys with infinite delight the wide-spread desolation and ruin his
reign has occasioned; he is the great Juggernaught of time ; under his wheels millions of
the human race are crushed, and round about
his throne lie thickly strewn the bleaching
bones of infatuated victims; he feasts upon
the wretchedness of his subjects ; no music
is so delightful to his ear as the widow's wail,
the orphan's sigh, the father's groan, the
mother's tale of griefs; he gloats over the
wreck of domestic happiness, of blighted prospects, of withered hopes, of broken pledges
and disappointed loves; he laughs at the
cry of distress, and mocks at the wrongs of
innocence. The fires never go out upon his
altars, but night and day they smoke with
the blood of costly sacrifice ; the incense of
tears and griefs, and bursting and bleeding
hearts, arise up before him in grateful remembrance ; his breath carries pestilence and
death; at his touch the bloom of beauty
fades, the strength of manhood bows, and
premature age anticipates the years generally
allotted to human life ; the fairest scenes of
earth put on sackcloth at his approach, and
the face of joy becomes shaded with sorrow ;
he never weeps, though many a tear he
occasions; he never smiles but in the grim
satisfaction of others' loss; his throne is
strong, but not because of the legality of his
claims, (for he is a usurper) nor because of
the justice of his cause, or the benefit of his
administration, but because of the passions it
stimulates and the appetite it engenders ; he
is inflexible in his principles, far reaching in
his policy, and bold and daring in his designs.
The despotism of his government yields not
to the liberal tendency of the times, however
much its administration may vary to suit the
appetites it has created ; the flight of time, the
cycle of ages, the roll of years, dim not the
keenness ofhis vision, or impair the vigor ofhis
strength ; he sits upon his ancient throne of
ruin, weighing in his balances the power of reason against appetite and passion, anil oft as he
lifts the scales he seats himself more securely
upon his throne. But may he not himself be
weighed in the balances and found wanting ?
This bloody reign, however long, must come
to an end—it is unnatural, and therefore
must cease—it is a reign of excess, and must
of consequence react.
It has three distinctive periods, strikingly
and strangely marked ; these are the periods
of moderation, of excess, and of terror. These
all pass in the experience of its true subjects.
The first is the formative period—it is the
germ from which the subsequent fruit springs;

this period is highly illusive and deceptive—
it is the period of frolic and fun. Like the
inexperienced youth who, to free himself from
the restraints of society and the press of cares,
launches his bark upon the tranquil waters of
some silent lake, and venturing far out from
shore, thinks not of the declining sun or of
the sleeping tempest or of the treacherous
calms, until, too late to remedy his misconduct, he is obliged to resign himself to his
fate. Life in this stage of its progress has
a show of pleasure and enjoyment; the cup
presented so temptingly to the lips seems to
sparkle with delight; the means of indulgence have as yet not been restrained; the
gilded saloon, the popular amusements, the
enrapturing music, the fashionable society,
the costly beverages, are yet within their
reach. These are the mysterious circles of
the fearful vortex, the pleasing strains of the

dangerous enchantress. Little do they dream

of the power of that current in which they
are venturing, or the dangerous rocks with
which they are environing themselves. The
second period is that of excess: reason that
had hitherto in some measure retained his
seat, and exerted at least a limited sway, is
now dethroned, and the victim yields himself
to the power by an unnatural and undying
thirst; the bonds of affection, the claims of
interest, the obligations of duty, the pride of
character, the teachings of experience, are all
too weak to fetter the monster that has been
begotten and nurtured in his bosom. The
third period is that of the reign of terror :
the gilded visions of happiness have fled, the
costly potations cannot now be obtained,
family ties have been sundered, the most
sacred relations broken, property squandered,
health, mind and charcter lost—there remains
but another tragedy to wind up the dismal
scene, and launch the wrecked spirit upon
wilder seas and more angry billows of eternal
wrath. Nor is this last act of the fearful
drama long postponed or seldom enacted, for
what is there in the present to alleviate its
misery, or in the future to awaken its fears ?
But the history of this empire is not yet
fully written, because its years are not yet
complete. Its history thus far is a bloody
one; the historian is yet to live who will
delineate fully its miseries ; it is a history of
broken vows, of faithless pledges, of melancholy suicides, of bloody murders, of dark
designs, of secret revenge, of domestic unhappiness, of private jealousies, of disppointed
loves, and of desolating wars. Many a heart
it has broken with silent but consuming grief
—many a sigh it has occasioned, unknown
to the world; many a tear has been shed,
witnessed only by God. The secret history of
its wrongs and griefs if known, would, if possible, eclipse the dark record of its public

crimes.
But do you ask me the name of this hoary
monarch ? It is Alcohol. And of this
ancient and extensive empire ? It is Intemperance.

The friends of William Miller, Esq., Her Brittannic Majesty's Commissioner and Consul General,
near the King's Court, will be pleased to learn that
he was in good health in Lima, on the 26th December, and had been restored to his high military rank
of "Grande Marescal dc Ayacucho"—an set of justics
which reflects great honor upon the Government of
Peru.—Polynesian.
