THE FRIEND,
DECEMBER
1. 1800.
End of Volume XVII.
This number closes another volume of The
Friend. Contributors to its columns, and for its
pecuniary support, will please accept our sincere
thanks. Those who have read our paper and done
nothing whatever for its support, we shall leave
to their own reflections, hoping, however, that
during the coming year they mayfind something in
the columns of the Friend, which may lead
their minds in an opposite direction. We are
frequently receiving testimonials that our little
sheet is doing some good. It is encouraging to
learn that when ships meet at sea, the question
is asked, " Haveyou any Friends ?" And when
vessels visit remote islands of the Pacific, the
solitary resident eagerly inquires for the Friend.
Encouraged by past success, we shall endeavor to
keep steadily forward in the even tenor of our
way, during the coming year. The following
will show that our prospects are good.
A New Subscriber Paying in Advance.—
Newspaper publishers often boast of their success
when commencing a new volume, if a long list of
new subscribers enroll their names. But we
defy the world to produce a subscriber more
worthy of newspaper immortality, than one who
has forwarded us his name, and had he not
marked his letter " confidential," our readers
should be made acquainted with his name and
residence. We met the man at tho door of our
sanctum, unloading from his pack-horse two
very nice bunches of Chinese bananas. On
leaving he passed over a letter, from which we
quote as follows: " You will herewith receive
two bunches of Chinese bananas. Such bunches

We solicited his name, but he positively declined giving it, merely adding, " I am your

a thousand dollars ; hence the agreeable surprise, when informed that they amounted to
$1617. This contribution to the funds of the
Hospital is very timely, as the Trustees arc now

when the adjoining grounds arc laid out, the

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER,
LETTER
To Shipowners, Captains, Officers, Seamen, and all interested in Vessel* visiting the Pacific Ocean.
Dear Sms:—Suffer us, the Missionaries
of the Micronesia Mission, to come to you
with a plea for help in the great work in
which we are engaged. In this you can
render us very important aid by suppressing
that gross licentiousness, the practice of which
is so common on very many of the vessels
which touch at our several islands.
We plead for your aid, in view of the preservation of the native population of these
islands.
You are not aware, perhaps, how vast has
been the ruin, in consequence of this wickedness, to some of the islands of Micronesia,
and of contiguous seas. It has, we believe,
been more injudicious, more destructive than
cannibalism, infanticide—than civil wars, or
than some of the epidemics which have swept
over them ; for here has been planted a virus
not only in individual systems, but, on some
islands, among the mass of the people, which
though slowly, yet most assuredly, is doing
its sad work. It seals up the fountains of
life and death and desolation reigns.
Much of the decrease of population on the
Sandwich Islands, and on many of the South
Sea Islands, has, without a doubt, been in
consequence of that foul disease which the
early discoverers of these islands planted in
the systems, individual and social, of the unsuspecting natives.
It is this evil which, at this very day,
most affects Ponape, (Ascension Island, Pacific Ocean.) There is but the shadow for
hope that her population can sustain its own,
if they do not all, in half a century's time,
pass away. And on beautiful Kusaie, or
Strong's Island—oh! we weep as we write
it—the work of destruction has been most
fearful. The Missionary there stationed
finds a fearful annual decrease. This island,
when discovered in 1804, possessed a population of from three to five thousand;—less
than eight hundred now remain! and the
fact cannot be questioned, that this rapid
depopulation is the result, to a very great
extent, of this very wickedness of which we
speak. This wickedness still continues.
Not a few ships enter the harbors of our islands to recruit. In many an instance the
bid is made for women—the vessel is soon
supplied—and for the few days or weeks she
may lie there, lust reigns. Now, add to the
wickedness of this vessel tenfold, and what
must be the result, we ask you, upon our
native population?
Over some of the Gilbert and Marshall
Islands the stream of death and destruction
has already begun to roll. We plead with
you in behalf of the 50,000 heathen of these
islands, to aid in arresting its progress.
We plead for your assistance still further :
This wickedness interferes most sadly with our
missionary work.
You can hardly know what an obstacle it
has cast in our way. Creating as it has such
a large demand for native women and native
girls, our schools have been at times quite
broken up, our Sabbath congregations have
been taken from us, and our missionary work
been all disarranged.
Must we have the prejudices of a heathen
1860.
people not only to contend with, but this foreign wickedness ? It tasks all our powers to
elevate a people from the moral darkness in
which for ages they have enveloped themselves ; but must our work be retarded also
by this evil from abroad ?
You surely cannot but feel that the existence of such an evil must anywhere be a barrier to the progress of religion and virtue.
But how much more must it be so in a
heathen land, among such people, where
among themselves virtue is hardly known,
and too where love of gain will lead them
to part with all they possess to secure the
little they can.
We ask for what we do in view of the worth
and beauty of virtue.
The plague spot is loathsome, and he is
abhorred who is smitten with it; but how
much more loathsome is this public prostitution of so many ships, from forecastle to
cabin ! There are those to whom in your
eyes virtue lends much beauty—to your
mothers, your sisters, your wives, and other
dear ones, it gives a worth inestimable. How
would you weep as a beloved sister should
be led astray! What scalding tears would
gush from your eyes were you to see your
parental home the rendezvous of shameless
harlots, your own beloved mother the leader
of them all ? But if, in these dear ones, virtue possesses such a beauty and worth, may
we not expect it will be sufficiently attractive
to you in all climes, among all people, leading you at least to exert, as far as you can,
an influence which should beget there the
same beauty and moral excellency ?
And we plead with you as we do by the
worth of these immortal souls.
Ah, yes, these heathen souls are immortal.
True,
brutes they live,
" Like
Like brutes they die,"
but such is not their end. As dark as are
their minds, as wicked as are their hearts,
their sins are not the sins of a brute, a dumb,
irrational animal. Well for them would it
be were it so, or were they innocent. Like
us, they possess souls, and like us by God will
they be judged. And shall now a single
heathen soul have its gloom in the other
world at all increased by any want of effort
on your part ?
With many of you, dear sirs, we feel constrained to plead for what we do, by the worth
of your own souls, and by the great day of
final reckoning.
ye know, that no whoremonger, nor
" Thisperson,
unclean
hath any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God." " Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
"The fearful, and murderers, and whoremongers shall have their part in the lake that
burneth with fire and brimstone ; without are
whoremongers, and murderers, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
Will such of you as cannot deny your participation in this sin dare the vengeance of
God by continuing in or countenancing it?
And think not that this sin is not seen by
Him among these benighted islands. Here,
as in all places, "all things are naked and
open to the eyes of Him with whom we have
death in so many instances, unless you shall
seek for measures that your vessels may, in
some sense, become almoners of mercy to
these benighted islanders—not scourges, not
destroyers ?
Can a man knowingly own shares in a
piratical or slave-stealing ship, and not be implicated in the sin of that vessel ? Can you
fit out your ships and send them to cruise
among these islands, knowing so well as you
do how extensively this wickedness is carried
on, without doing all in your power to suppress it? Can you as stockholders be absolved from participation in this guilt, except
by earnest and decided endeavors to suppress
it?
And to you, captains, we appeal, since we
feel that you, more than any others, are responsible for the permission of shipboard licentiousness. When you lay off and on our
islands, or enter the harbors, it is as you say
whether women shall be allowed aboard.
You are the commander. Your word is absolute law. But speak with that authority you
use when your ship is battling with a storm,
and your decks are stainless.
We know well the apology often urged—
that the thing must be done in order to secure
your supplies, and to keep your men contented. But we know, however, that there are
many captains (to whom be all commendation) who do get their supplies without allowing the evil; and from our knowledge of
native character, we know that the thing is
wholly unnecessary.
Again, then, we repeat it, it is, or is not,
according as you shall say. We beg of you
to suppress it, to forbid it on your own ships,
and to lend your influence in removing it
from others, and in banishing licentiousness
in all its forms from these islands.
And to you, officers and seamen, we appeal.
Remember that shipowners and captains may
forbid the open practice of this sin on their
ships, but without your hearty co-operation
the dreadful effects will be but partially
removed.
We wish all whom we have addressed to
feel that this appeal has been made with no
other feelings than those of the kindest
towards yourselves. We could not witness
the evil longer without thus pleading with
you. We have felt it to be our duty.
With many of you as captains and officers
and seamen, we are more or less acquainted.
You who are captains have often bestowed
favors, either in the gift of some valuable
article, or have brought us our goods and
mails—all as exhibiting your kind feelings
towards us. And this kindness we have ever
appreciated, and for it would be ever,grateful.
We love you all, and desire your temporal
and eternal welfare.
But then we wish you all to feel that all
your kind favors to us, and our good wishes
to yourselves, must not seal our lips or chain
our pens from seeking to enlist your conscience, sympathies, and assistance against
this sin. Did it do so, we should be most
recreant to our duty to these natives, to yourselves, and to our Master. We stand here
as the friends of these benighted ones.

Missionary Correspondence.
Ebon, August 9, 1860.
Rev. S. C. Damon— Dear Sir: —We are
glad to hail you once more from Ebon. The
Morning Star arrived here July 4th—day
of hallowed associations—delivered us our
Friends and mail. And as in a few days we
are looking for her from the west, bound
Honoluluwards, we will send you our word
of good cheer and friendly greeting.
You will be anxious to hear how the past
year has been with us. We answer—it has
been one of trial and of joy. The little invalid we had with us the fore part of last year
has left us for his higher, better and holier
home in heaven. You remember the sickness of our second son, S. W. Wood. As
the M. S. left us last year, taking away our
beloved physician," we thought the little invalid would outgrow his sickness—scrofula,
or tuberculous formation on the brain—but
were deceived. From some slightly exciting
causes, he was taken again suddenly, March
24, and on the 25th fell asleep in death.
His departure was sudden. And we wept
over it, but in the strong consolation that it
was well with the child. Our dear friends,
Dr. and T. Gulick were ready with all their
"
aid and sympathy to comfort. They helped
us make the little house for the dead one,
and lay him in it. And little Wattie and
Fanny and Katy came with sweet flowers
and green leaves and strewed them over the
helpless form of theirlittle Ebon cousin; and
then, after some consoling thoughts from our
good brother, the Doctor, on the doctrine of
the resurrection, we closed the door of
that little house, with its precious form
and sweet flowers and green leaves, all
soon to wither and moulder away to their
mother earth, and bore it away to the grave
justaround the corner of our house, in the
garden. We felt as though we wanted it
near, that we might keep it sacred from any
of our evilly-disposed natives. Its little spirit,
we felt, would be a messenger of mercy, and
we wanted the little form near.
No bitter tears for thee be shed,
" Blossom
of being seen and gone !
"
With flowers alone we strew thy bed,
O blessed departed one—
Whose alt of life a rosy ray,
Blush'd into dawn and passed away
Oh ! hadst thou still on earth remained,
Vision ofbeauty, fair as bright !
How soon thy brightness had been stained
With passion or with grief!
Now not a sullying breath can rise
To dim thy glory in the skies."
The death of this dear one has been our trial.
Our joy has been as deep. A little daughter
has taken the place of that son. And we
have been all immersed in our missionary
work. During every Sabbath of the year—
save the one on which our dear one died—
we have preached; have had congregations
varying from fifty to two hundred and fifty.
And we have been heard with respectful
attention; some of our meetings have been
enlivened by occasional episodes. At times
when I have been pressing home the duty of
loving the blessed Savior, and the Father of
us all, some chief has called out, "that they
did"—"there was but one word between
us, they did as we taught." I had 'to tell
them they were mistaken—they knew not
their own hearts.
We have closed our meetings with a Sabbath school of some thirty or forty children.
After the morning service, have sailed to
another islet north of Ebon—have met a congregation varying from fifty to seventy-five ;
and here too have had a Sabbath School of
thirty children.
During the week, the fore part of the year,
we were getting up our primer, a copy of
which I send you—all done by our own
missionary hands; and also our hymns
and translations of some of the Gospels;
we have also made, or partly prepared,
a Reader of Scripture Lessons and a small
Catechism. Some three or four months since
we made an attempt to revive our day-school,
which now numbers thirty scholars—children,
young persons, men and women, and some
young married persons. We feel our scholars
are making progress in reading and slatewriting, and reciting from a large mural map.
We sing too a little—and we hope to raise
up some fine singers in time. Our school,
we trust, will now get such an impetus that
no obstacle will again stop it. We mean,
God blessing our labors, to keep it agoing till
some portion of this people become a Biblereading people. And we hope the present
day-school of Ebon, kept some two and a half
hours each day, is only the beginning of
greater things for these Marshall Islanders—
only the first life pulsations of that larger
system of instruction, the academy or the
college. We trust, at least, the school-door,
and so too the church-door, will never be
closed from this time forth on Ebon.
These are some of the duties to which we
have given ourselves. And I need not say
how delightful they have been—l at least
have never found purer joy in my short life.
Our island has been the scene of some
activity in oil-making, and some eight separate ships have touched at our island; the
most have lain by for a day or so getting
cocoanuts and other trade from the natives.
December 24, 1860, ship Chandler Price,
Holcomb, took two whales near by us, making
some eighty barrels; April 22, 1860, ship
Marengo, F. A. Wells, 8 months from home
via New Zealand, had 400 wh and 300 sp,
bound north to Japan Seas. January 22,
to the work with a right good will, and the
result is, a fine building already enclosed,
with many hands and cheerful hearts zealously at work, hoping to get it completed
before the rainy season.
Had not Mr. Sayer taken the matter in
hand just when and as he did, the work would
have fallen through. All praise is due to
him for not only taking the decisive step so
promptly, but he is also giving up his whole
time and attention to it.
Again the sum subscribed is somewhere
between $700 and $800—quite insufficient
for the building being erected—but considerable labor hasbeen given, and more it is hoped
will be, otherwise such a neat, pretty building
could not be put up, as it bids fair to be. A
liberal subscription has been obtained from all
but two or three who have been solicited—in
fact many who have never been seen at pub
lie worship in Makawao, have given beyond
all expectation, and quite up to their means,
besides many of them say if you are pilikia, coming short of funds in"the end, we will
give a little more labor."
The pride and interest that is felt by that
class ofpeople is a matter ofrejoicing, as it will
be pretty sure to bring them out to listen to
the Gospel truths, when other means adopted
heretofore have failed, and it is to be hoped
this is but the beginning of a new era about to
dawn upon us.
Respectfully yours,

Idea of a Ship.—A ship is the most ingenious and mighty fabric which human
hands have ever wrought. Nothing else is
half so strong, neither pyramids, nor temples,
nor cathedrals of stone, which, before printing, gave opportunity for the human heart to
express itself, gave forth the thoughts, and
the sublimest feelings and aspirations of the
greatest thinkers. There is not one of these
things that does not easily fall to pieces.
They can be moved by earthquakes as easily
as the seed globe of a dandelion by winds
that puff at it. But a ship caught by the
winds, and tossed about like a ball is unharmed. It is smitten and whirled. It is
rocked on waves as a cradle is rocked by a
mother's foot. It rears up like a frightened
steed. It plunges again like a war horse in
battle. But though winds chase it, and
storms reach out black hands after it, and
waves forever beat it, and it must needs roll
and plunge, it seeks its centre again, and
comes upright the moment the airy hands let
go. Henry Ward Beecher.

or $300. This amount would have boon expended upon slight repairs, painting, supporting

person we think will say, that so trifling an
amount was a heavy outlay for the incalculable benefits which have been secured. What!
the sum of $300 per annum too great an outlay,
compared with the good accomplished! Such
nn idea is not for a moment to be entertained !
From the first opening of the Home, it has gone
steadily forward, ever diffusing a healthful and
salutary influence. Never was that influence
greater or more salutary than during the passing season. Under the able and efficient
management of Mrs. Thrum, aided by the memben of her family, the Home has been groduolly
gaining upon the confidence of both the seataring ana resident community. Those prejudices that once prevailed have melted away, until
now the success and usefulness of the Home are
admitted facts, not to be gainsaid. It is our
honest belief, that the police and Hawaiian Government never had a more efficient aid from any
quarter than from the " Home" as conducted by

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1860.
THE FRIEND,
DECEMBER 1, 1860.
ty In our columns will be found a candid,
calm and earnest letter, signed by all the Micronesian Missionaries, and addressed to shipowners
and those engaged in navigating vessels touching
at those islands. We commend this letter to the
candid perusal of our readers, fully believing that
it will commend itself to their good sense and
their better feelings. That such an appeal should
be necessary, is a Bad and melancholly fact.
Most truly do wo sympathise with the Missionaries who are called to witness the ravages of the
loathsome disease, which, alas ! has spread its
blighting effects elsewhere than among tho
natives of Micronesia. If in our power we can
do any tlnug to arrest the terrible curse, we are
ready to do it, but we must In' allowed to exercise
our own judgment as to tho best manner of doing
it. An editormay sometimes know what will favor
a moral reformation as well u& an occasional writer
for the public. Different minds may take op-<
posite views of a subject, because occupying different stand-points; hence it ill becomes one to
censure another. We have heretofore received
letters upon the subject treated of in this appeal,
but have declined publishing the same, because,
in our opinion, they were not calculated to do
good, and because we have done so, the taunting
question has been asked, " Where is your conscience?" In dealing with this, as with other
moral evils, we havo striven to act fully up to our
duty in conducting a paper occupying a peculiar
field. The old maxim of the courts will apply to
this subject, when writers undertake to deal in
personalities, "Better that ten guilty ones escape, than that an innocent one shall suffer."
Dr. Gulick's Lectures.— He has delivered
three lectures upon Micronesia, two at Fort
Street Church, and one at the Bethel. They
have been published in the Polynesian. Most
sincerely do we regret that any circumstances
should have occurred which led him to discontinue these lectures, for during his residence on
Ascension and Ebon, he has collected a fund of
linguistical, ethnographical, scientific and general
information, which is admirably adopted to render interesting a course of popular lectures.
Gold and Poetry.
Poets do not enjoy tho reputation j)f being
overburdened with gold. What appears very
remarkable, a poetical contributor to our columns,
accompanies his communication with gold ! In
this instance, we shall be compelled to disregard
the rule, which generally is in force, that no
"
attention will be paid to anonymous writers."
Wo hope the writer may ever find his golden
dreams realized. Let us hear from him again.
Both gold and poetry are acceptable, or one
alone!
Dear Friend—l observed in your last number, that the actual cost of the 1000 copies of the
Friend, distributed gratuitously this year, will
exceed $200, and that the amount contributed
for this purpose, thus far, is but $95. Hoping
that every reader of your valuable paper will
give this little item the attention it deserves, 1
beg you will accept the enclosed contributions,
($5.)
And further oblige
The Friend's Friend.
Not thine, indeed, the miser's store.
Not thine the monarch's sceptered power,
Nor thine the fame
That hero's deeds or sage's lore
Can give a name.
What though thy brow hath never won
The laurel wreath or tinsel crown !
No less thou art
A ruler ! Thou hast made thy throne
The human heart!

Who holds tho power to loose and bind,
Or, nobler sway!

Boast as he may.
Ambition, honor-led, may stand
A nations pride! The patriot's hand,
Deep died in blood,
Shows virtuous, and may well command
Our plaudits loud.
But holier is thy human call!
To battle, Sir ! to fight and fall
Far in the van,

Thy brother, man!
Who raise the fallen, guide the stray,
That faint or wander from life's way ;

The magnates of mankind are they,

May He who blessed the beggar poor,
That hungered at the rich man's door,
And asked in vain
A crumb from out his bounteous store,
Thy life sustain
To teach, while Heaven doth kindly grant
Enough to serve the creature's want,

We should, from out that portion scant,
Help those who need.
Honolulu, Nov. 1860.
Tax Concert.—The Musical Concert at Fort
Street Church, under the able management of
Messrs. Waldau and Hosslocher, was an agreeable episode in the quiet life of the Uonoluluans.
Far better judges than ourselves have pronounced
the music excellent and the concert a success.
The attention paid to music by the Amateur
Musical Society" of Honolulu, is very creditable.
What we are going to say, perhaps, we had better leave unsaid, but editors are supposed to
have thoughts upon all subjects! This is ours
respecting concerts for the people. The music
should be less operatic, and more simple. Songs
in foreign languages may suit amateurs, but
when amateurs offer to sing for the people, the
people wish to understand the words. We have
noticed, in several concerts, that those songs
which were understood, hove always called forth
the most rapturous applause. This may be unscientific ana barbarous, but still wo write as one
of the hearers. We once heard Jenny Lind
sing " John Anderson my Joe," and the words
of that song are still vibrating in our ears. The
people, for the most part, prefer soft and gentle
music, and if it is a little plaintive, they are not
offended, neither will they object to lively airs.

was expected, and a patriotic feeling pervaded
the community. Mr. Fox, a young singer
and actor, called upon Mr. Hopkinson one
morning and said, " To-morrow evening has
been appointed for my benefit at the theater.
Not a single box has been taken, and I fear
there will be a thin house. If you will
write me some patriotic verses on the tune of
the ' President's March,' I feel sure of a full
house. Several people about the theater
have attempted it, but they have come to the
conclusion that it cannot be done. Yet I
think you may succeed." Mr. Hopkinson retired to his study, wrote the first verse and
chorus, and submitted them to Mrs. Hopkinson, who sang them to a harpsichord accompaniment. The time and the words harmonized. The song was soon finished, and
that evening the young actor received it.
The house was crowded—the song was sung
—the audience was delighted—eight times
it was called for and repeated, and when
sung the ninth time the whole- audience
stood up and joined in the chorus. Night
after night " Hail Columbia" was applauded
in the theater ; and in a few days it was the
universal song of the boys in our streets.
Such was the origin of our national song
" Hail Columbia."

To watch and with him pray.
And then beneath the ocean's breast,
They laid the lifeless form ;
And o'er him go the white-winged ships,
And sweeps the raging storm.
No marble marks his resting-place,
But billows round him sweep,
As he lies upon the coral red
In long and dreamless sleep.
The sea rolls on from pole to pole,
And wide an anthem grand
It bears upon the stormy blast—
From shore to shore, from land to land ;
Unheeding those who sleep below
Amid its glittering gems ;
Of pearls and diamonds flashing bright,
Fit for monarchs' diadems.
But when the last great trumpet-blast,
Shall echo o'er the land,
The dead shall rise from every part,
And join the ransomed band.

THE FRIEND,
DECEMBER
1. 1800.
End of Volume XVII.
This number closes another volume of The
Friend. Contributors to its columns, and for its
pecuniary support, will please accept our sincere
thanks. Those who have read our paper and done
nothing whatever for its support, we shall leave
to their own reflections, hoping, however, that
during the coming year they mayfind something in
the columns of the Friend, which may lead
their minds in an opposite direction. We are
frequently receiving testimonials that our little
sheet is doing some good. It is encouraging to
learn that when ships meet at sea, the question
is asked, " Haveyou any Friends ?" And when
vessels visit remote islands of the Pacific, the
solitary resident eagerly inquires for the Friend.
Encouraged by past success, we shall endeavor to
keep steadily forward in the even tenor of our
way, during the coming year. The following
will show that our prospects are good.
A New Subscriber Paying in Advance.—
Newspaper publishers often boast of their success
when commencing a new volume, if a long list of
new subscribers enroll their names. But we
defy the world to produce a subscriber more
worthy of newspaper immortality, than one who
has forwarded us his name, and had he not
marked his letter " confidential," our readers
should be made acquainted with his name and
residence. We met the man at tho door of our
sanctum, unloading from his pack-horse two
very nice bunches of Chinese bananas. On
leaving he passed over a letter, from which we
quote as follows: " You will herewith receive
two bunches of Chinese bananas. Such bunches

Sixth Anniversary of H.S. Home Society.—
The Anniversary exercises were held at the Bethel, Monday evening, Nov. 26th. S. N. Castle,
Esq., presiding. Prayer was offered by Rev. E.
Corwin. The Treasurer, S. R. Bishop, read his
report, which will be found in another column.
The Chairman of Executive Committee, read the
Annual Report, extracts from which we publish.
TheRev. C. T. Mills made some interesting remarks, which were followed by an address from
theRev. C. Y. Anthony, Pastor of the Methodist Church, which we publish in another
column. Capt. Kelley made some interesting
remarks.
The following Officers were chosen i
President,—B. N. Castle.
Vice President,—Vf. A. Aldrich.
Secretary,—Dr. J. Mott Smith.
Treasurer,—C. R. Bishop.
Ex. Com. Messrs. Damon, Austinand Holdsworth.
At a meeting of the Trustees held on Tuesday, a
resolution was adopted, that a collection be taken up
in each of the churches on Sabbath morning next,
—
for the purpose of paying off the debt. Those who
prefer, oan hand their " mites" to the Treasurer.
A Debtor.—Editorial life at the Sandwich
Islands, is diversified with occasional incidents,
worthy of being placed upon record. A well
dressed person entered our ofliee, und handed us
$5, accompanying the act with the remark, " I
am your debtor, having for years read your paper,
but never given any thing for its support."
We solicited his name, but he positively declined giving it, merely adding, " I am your
debtor."
The London Illustrated News says that
the Rev. John Coleridge Patteson. son of Mr.
Justice Patteson, has been nominated Bishop of
the Islands of the Pacific, acting under the
direction of the Bishop of New Zealand. He
will exercise episcopal supervision over seventy
or eighty islands of the toe Pacific, not under

Fair for tue Queen's Hospital.—The success of this projoct is very gratifying. The arrangements appeared to be very judicious and
appropriate. We do not suppose any ore
imagined that the receipts would have exceeded
a thousand dollars ; hence the agreeable surprise, when informed that they amounted to
$1617. This contribution to the funds of the
Hospital is very timely, as the Trustees arc now
fitting up the New Hospital building. The new
edifice is very imposing and handsome, and
when the adjoining grounds arc laid out, the
whole affair will be highly creditable to tho taste
of tho architect, Mr. Ucuck, and the generosity
of the Honolulu public.
Spauldino's Glue.—Was there ever anything
like it? Its usesure manifold, so the (tapers gay;
but we actually sow a lady mending her silk
dress by its application ! And wo have heard of
a surgeon who repaired the broken log of a
turkey with the same ! It may be procured at
Dr. Hoffmann's Drug Store.
A Substitute for Butter.—When butter is
fifty cents per pound, a good housekeeper will
ask, " What is there for a substitute?" We
answer, " Titcomb's Syrup." Just try it, as you
may easily do by purchasing a small keg at Capt.
Snow's.
Honolulu subscribers will please pay on
presentation of their bill by the carrier. No bills
for 1860.have been presented.

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER,
LETTER
To Shipowners, Captains, Officers, Seamen, and all interested in Vessel* visiting the Pacific Ocean.
Dear Sms:—Suffer us, the Missionaries
of the Micronesia Mission, to come to you
with a plea for help in the great work in
which we are engaged. In this you can
render us very important aid by suppressing
that gross licentiousness, the practice of which
is so common on very many of the vessels
which touch at our several islands.
We plead for your aid, in view of the preservation of the native population of these
islands.
You are not aware, perhaps, how vast has
been the ruin, in consequence of this wickedness, to some of the islands of Micronesia,
and of contiguous seas. It has, we believe,
been more injudicious, more destructive than
cannibalism, infanticide—than civil wars, or
than some of the epidemics which have swept
over them ; for here has been planted a virus
not only in individual systems, but, on some
islands, among the mass of the people, which
though slowly, yet most assuredly, is doing
its sad work. It seals up the fountains of
life and death and desolation reigns.
Much of the decrease of population on the
Sandwich Islands, and on many of the South
Sea Islands, has, without a doubt, been in
consequence of that foul disease which the
early discoverers of these islands planted in
the systems, individual and social, of the unsuspecting natives.
It is this evil which, at this very day,
most affects Ponape, (Ascension Island, Pacific Ocean.) There is but the shadow for
hope that her population can sustain its own,
if they do not all, in half a century's time,
pass away. And on beautiful Kusaie, or
Strong's Island—oh! we weep as we write
it—the work of destruction has been most
fearful. The Missionary there stationed
finds a fearful annual decrease. This island,
when discovered in 1804, possessed a population of from three to five thousand;—less
than eight hundred now remain! and the
fact cannot be questioned, that this rapid
depopulation is the result, to a very great
extent, of this very wickedness of which we
speak. This wickedness still continues.
Not a few ships enter the harbors of our islands to recruit. In many an instance the
bid is made for women—the vessel is soon
supplied—and for the few days or weeks she
may lie there, lust reigns. Now, add to the
wickedness of this vessel tenfold, and what
must be the result, we ask you, upon our
native population?
Over some of the Gilbert and Marshall
Islands the stream of death and destruction
has already begun to roll. We plead with
you in behalf of the 50,000 heathen of these
islands, to aid in arresting its progress.
We plead for your assistance still further :
This wickedness interferes most sadly with our
missionary work.
You can hardly know what an obstacle it
has cast in our way. Creating as it has such
a large demand for native women and native
girls, our schools have been at times quite
broken up, our Sabbath congregations have
been taken from us, and our missionary work
been all disarranged.
Must we have the prejudices of a heathen
1860.
people not only to contend with, but this foreign wickedness ? It tasks all our powers to
elevate a people from the moral darkness in
which for ages they have enveloped themselves ; but must our work be retarded also
by this evil from abroad ?
You surely cannot but feel that the existence of such an evil must anywhere be a barrier to the progress of religion and virtue.
But how much more must it be so in a
heathen land, among such people, where
among themselves virtue is hardly known,
and too where love of gain will lead them
to part with all they possess to secure the
little they can.
We ask for what we do in view of the worth
and beauty of virtue.
The plague spot is loathsome, and he is
abhorred who is smitten with it; but how
much more loathsome is this public prostitution of so many ships, from forecastle to
cabin ! There are those to whom in your
eyes virtue lends much beauty—to your
mothers, your sisters, your wives, and other
dear ones, it gives a worth inestimable. How
would you weep as a beloved sister should
be led astray! What scalding tears would
gush from your eyes were you to see your
parental home the rendezvous of shameless
harlots, your own beloved mother the leader
of them all ? But if, in these dear ones, virtue possesses such a beauty and worth, may
we not expect it will be sufficiently attractive
to you in all climes, among all people, leading you at least to exert, as far as you can,
an influence which should beget there the
same beauty and moral excellency ?
And we plead with you as we do by the
worth of these immortal souls.
Ah, yes, these heathen souls are immortal.
True,
brutes they live,
" Like
Like brutes they die,"
but such is not their end. As dark as are
their minds, as wicked as are their hearts,
their sins are not the sins of a brute, a dumb,
irrational animal. Well for them would it
be were it so, or were they innocent. Like
us, they possess souls, and like us by God will
they be judged. And shall now a single
heathen soul have its gloom in the other
world at all increased by any want of effort
on your part ?
With many of you, dear sirs, we feel constrained to plead for what we do, by the worth
of your own souls, and by the great day of
final reckoning.
ye know, that no whoremonger, nor
" Thisperson,
unclean
hath any inheritance in the
kingdom of Christ and of God." " Whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."
"The fearful, and murderers, and whoremongers shall have their part in the lake that
burneth with fire and brimstone ; without are
whoremongers, and murderers, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
Will such of you as cannot deny your participation in this sin dare the vengeance of
God by continuing in or countenancing it?
And think not that this sin is not seen by
Him among these benighted islands. Here,
as in all places, "all things are naked and
open to the eyes of Him with whom we have
death in so many instances, unless you shall
seek for measures that your vessels may, in
some sense, become almoners of mercy to
these benighted islanders—not scourges, not
destroyers ?
Can a man knowingly own shares in a
piratical or slave-stealing ship, and not be implicated in the sin of that vessel ? Can you
fit out your ships and send them to cruise
among these islands, knowing so well as you
do how extensively this wickedness is carried
on, without doing all in your power to suppress it? Can you as stockholders be absolved from participation in this guilt, except
by earnest and decided endeavors to suppress
it?
And to you, captains, we appeal, since we
feel that you, more than any others, are responsible for the permission of shipboard licentiousness. When you lay off and on our
islands, or enter the harbors, it is as you say
whether women shall be allowed aboard.
You are the commander. Your word is absolute law. But speak with that authority you
use when your ship is battling with a storm,
and your decks are stainless.
We know well the apology often urged—
that the thing must be done in order to secure
your supplies, and to keep your men contented. But we know, however, that there are
many captains (to whom be all commendation) who do get their supplies without allowing the evil; and from our knowledge of
native character, we know that the thing is
wholly unnecessary.
Again, then, we repeat it, it is, or is not,
according as you shall say. We beg of you
to suppress it, to forbid it on your own ships,
and to lend your influence in removing it
from others, and in banishing licentiousness
in all its forms from these islands.
And to you, officers and seamen, we appeal.
Remember that shipowners and captains may
forbid the open practice of this sin on their
ships, but without your hearty co-operation
the dreadful effects will be but partially
removed.
We wish all whom we have addressed to
feel that this appeal has been made with no
other feelings than those of the kindest
towards yourselves. We could not witness
the evil longer without thus pleading with
you. We have felt it to be our duty.
With many of you as captains and officers
and seamen, we are more or less acquainted.
You who are captains have often bestowed
favors, either in the gift of some valuable
article, or have brought us our goods and
mails—all as exhibiting your kind feelings
towards us. And this kindness we have ever
appreciated, and for it would be ever,grateful.
We love you all, and desire your temporal
and eternal welfare.
But then we wish you all to feel that all
your kind favors to us, and our good wishes
to yourselves, must not seal our lips or chain
our pens from seeking to enlist your conscience, sympathies, and assistance against
this sin. Did it do so, we should be most
recreant to our duty to these natives, to yourselves, and to our Master. We stand here
as the friends of these benighted ones.

Missionary Correspondence.
Ebon, August 9, 1860.
Rev. S. C. Damon— Dear Sir: —We are
glad to hail you once more from Ebon. The
Morning Star arrived here July 4th—day
of hallowed associations—delivered us our
Friends and mail. And as in a few days we
are looking for her from the west, bound
Honoluluwards, we will send you our word
of good cheer and friendly greeting.
You will be anxious to hear how the past
year has been with us. We answer—it has
been one of trial and of joy. The little invalid we had with us the fore part of last year
has left us for his higher, better and holier
home in heaven. You remember the sickness of our second son, S. W. Wood. As
the M. S. left us last year, taking away our
beloved physician," we thought the little invalid would outgrow his sickness—scrofula,
or tuberculous formation on the brain—but
were deceived. From some slightly exciting
causes, he was taken again suddenly, March
24, and on the 25th fell asleep in death.
His departure was sudden. And we wept
over it, but in the strong consolation that it
was well with the child. Our dear friends,
Dr. and T. Gulick were ready with all their
"
aid and sympathy to comfort. They helped
us make the little house for the dead one,
and lay him in it. And little Wattie and
Fanny and Katy came with sweet flowers
and green leaves and strewed them over the
helpless form of theirlittle Ebon cousin; and
then, after some consoling thoughts from our
good brother, the Doctor, on the doctrine of
the resurrection, we closed the door of
that little house, with its precious form
and sweet flowers and green leaves, all
soon to wither and moulder away to their
mother earth, and bore it away to the grave
justaround the corner of our house, in the
garden. We felt as though we wanted it
near, that we might keep it sacred from any
of our evilly-disposed natives. Its little spirit,
we felt, would be a messenger of mercy, and
we wanted the little form near.
No bitter tears for thee be shed,
" Blossom
of being seen and gone !
"
With flowers alone we strew thy bed,
O blessed departed one—
Whose alt of life a rosy ray,
Blush'd into dawn and passed away
Oh ! hadst thou still on earth remained,
Vision ofbeauty, fair as bright !
How soon thy brightness had been stained
With passion or with grief!
Now not a sullying breath can rise
To dim thy glory in the skies."
The death of this dear one has been our trial.
Our joy has been as deep. A little daughter
has taken the place of that son. And we
have been all immersed in our missionary
work. During every Sabbath of the year—
save the one on which our dear one died—
we have preached; have had congregations
varying from fifty to two hundred and fifty.
And we have been heard with respectful
attention; some of our meetings have been
enlivened by occasional episodes. At times
when I have been pressing home the duty of
loving the blessed Savior, and the Father of
us all, some chief has called out, "that they
did"—"there was but one word between
us, they did as we taught." I had 'to tell
them they were mistaken—they knew not
their own hearts.
We have closed our meetings with a Sabbath school of some thirty or forty children.
After the morning service, have sailed to
another islet north of Ebon—have met a congregation varying from fifty to seventy-five ;
and here too have had a Sabbath School of
thirty children.
During the week, the fore part of the year,
we were getting up our primer, a copy of
which I send you—all done by our own
missionary hands; and also our hymns
and translations of some of the Gospels;
we have also made, or partly prepared,
a Reader of Scripture Lessons and a small
Catechism. Some three or four months since
we made an attempt to revive our day-school,
which now numbers thirty scholars—children,
young persons, men and women, and some
young married persons. We feel our scholars
are making progress in reading and slatewriting, and reciting from a large mural map.
We sing too a little—and we hope to raise
up some fine singers in time. Our school,
we trust, will now get such an impetus that
no obstacle will again stop it. We mean,
God blessing our labors, to keep it agoing till
some portion of this people become a Biblereading people. And we hope the present
day-school of Ebon, kept some two and a half
hours each day, is only the beginning of
greater things for these Marshall Islanders—
only the first life pulsations of that larger
system of instruction, the academy or the
college. We trust, at least, the school-door,
and so too the church-door, will never be
closed from this time forth on Ebon.
These are some of the duties to which we
have given ourselves. And I need not say
how delightful they have been—l at least
have never found purer joy in my short life.
Our island has been the scene of some
activity in oil-making, and some eight separate ships have touched at our island; the
most have lain by for a day or so getting
cocoanuts and other trade from the natives.

to the work with a right good will, and the
result is, a fine building already enclosed,
with many hands and cheerful hearts zealously at work, hoping to get it completed
before the rainy season.
Had not Mr. Sayer taken the matter in
hand just when and as he did, the work would
have fallen through. All praise is due to
him for not only taking the decisive step so
promptly, but he is also giving up his whole
time and attention to it.
Again the sum subscribed is somewhere
between $700 and $800—quite insufficient
for the building being erected—but considerable labor hasbeen given, and more it is hoped
will be, otherwise such a neat, pretty building
could not be put up, as it bids fair to be. A
liberal subscription has been obtained from all
but two or three who have been solicited—in
fact many who have never been seen at pub
lie worship in Makawao, have given beyond
all expectation, and quite up to their means,
besides many of them say if you are pilikia, coming short of funds in"the end, we will
give a little more labor."
The pride and interest that is felt by that
class ofpeople is a matter ofrejoicing, as it will
be pretty sure to bring them out to listen to
the Gospel truths, when other means adopted
heretofore have failed, and it is to be hoped
this is but the beginning of a new era about to
dawn upon us.
Respectfully yours,

THE SPOT.
Idea of a Ship.—A ship is the most ingenious and mighty fabric which human
hands have ever wrought. Nothing else is
half so strong, neither pyramids, nor temples,
nor cathedrals of stone, which, before printing, gave opportunity for the human heart to
express itself, gave forth the thoughts, and
the sublimest feelings and aspirations of the
greatest thinkers. There is not one of these
things that does not easily fall to pieces.
They can be moved by earthquakes as easily
as the seed globe of a dandelion by winds
that puff at it. But a ship caught by the
winds, and tossed about like a ball is unharmed. It is smitten and whirled. It is
rocked on waves as a cradle is rocked by a
mother's foot. It rears up like a frightened
steed. It plunges again like a war horse in
battle. But though winds chase it, and
storms reach out black hands after it, and
waves forever beat it, and it must needs roll
and plunge, it seeks its centre again, and
comes upright the moment the airy hands let
go. Henry Ward Beecher.

the sum of $300 per annum too great an outlay,

nn idea is not for a moment to be entertained !
From the first opening of the Home, it has gone
steadily forward, ever diffusing a healthful and
salutary influence. Never was that influence
greater or more salutary than during the passing season. Under the able and efficient
management of Mrs. Thrum, aided by the memben of her family, the Home has been groduolly
gaining upon the confidence of both the seataring ana resident community. Those prejudices that once prevailed have melted away, until
now the success and usefulness of the Home are
admitted facts, not to be gainsaid. It is our
honest belief, that the police and Hawaiian Government never had a more efficient aid from any
quarter than from the " Home" as conducted by

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1860.
THE FRIEND,
DECEMBER 1, 1860.
ty In our columns will be found a candid,
calm and earnest letter, signed by all the Micronesian Missionaries, and addressed to shipowners
and those engaged in navigating vessels touching
at those islands. We commend this letter to the
candid perusal of our readers, fully believing that
it will commend itself to their good sense and
their better feelings. That such an appeal should
be necessary, is a Bad and melancholly fact.
Most truly do wo sympathise with the Missionaries who are called to witness the ravages of the
loathsome disease, which, alas ! has spread its
blighting effects elsewhere than among tho
natives of Micronesia. If in our power we can
do any tlnug to arrest the terrible curse, we are
ready to do it, but we must In' allowed to exercise
our own judgment as to tho best manner of doing
it. An editormay sometimes know what will favor
a moral reformation as well u& an occasional writer
for the public. Different minds may take op-<
posite views of a subject, because occupying different stand-points; hence it ill becomes one to
censure another. We have heretofore received
letters upon the subject treated of in this appeal,
but have declined publishing the same, because,
in our opinion, they were not calculated to do
good, and because we have done so, the taunting
question has been asked, " Where is your conscience?" In dealing with this, as with other
moral evils, we havo striven to act fully up to our
duty in conducting a paper occupying a peculiar
field. The old maxim of the courts will apply to
this subject, when writers undertake to deal in
personalities, "Better that ten guilty ones escape, than that an innocent one shall suffer."
Dr. Gulick's Lectures.— He has delivered
three lectures upon Micronesia, two at Fort
Street Church, and one at the Bethel. They
have been published in the Polynesian. Most
sincerely do we regret that any circumstances
should have occurred which led him to discontinue these lectures, for during his residence on
Ascension and Ebon, he has collected a fund of
linguistical, ethnographical, scientific and general
information, which is admirably adopted to render interesting a course of popular lectures.
Gold and Poetry.
Poets do not enjoy tho reputation j)f being
overburdened with gold. What appears very
remarkable, a poetical contributor to our columns,
accompanies his communication with gold ! In
this instance, we shall be compelled to disregard
the rule, which generally is in force, that no
"
attention will be paid to anonymous writers."
Wo hope the writer may ever find his golden
dreams realized. Let us hear from him again.
Both gold and poetry are acceptable, or one
alone!
Dear Friend—l observed in your last number, that the actual cost of the 1000 copies of the
Friend, distributed gratuitously this year, will
exceed $200, and that the amount contributed
for this purpose, thus far, is but $95. Hoping
that every reader of your valuable paper will
give this little item the attention it deserves, 1
beg you will accept the enclosed contributions,
($5.)
And further oblige

Not thine, indeed, the miser's store.
Not thine the monarch's sceptered power,

No less thou art

And asked in vain

Tax Concert.—The Musical Concert at Fort
Street Church, under the able management of
Messrs. Waldau and Hosslocher, was an agreeable episode in the quiet life of the Uonoluluans.
Far better judges than ourselves have pronounced
the music excellent and the concert a success.
The attention paid to music by the Amateur
Musical Society" of Honolulu, is very creditable.
What we are going to say, perhaps, we had better leave unsaid, but editors are supposed to
have thoughts upon all subjects! This is ours
respecting concerts for the people. The music
should be less operatic, and more simple. Songs
in foreign languages may suit amateurs, but
when amateurs offer to sing for the people, the
people wish to understand the words. We have
noticed, in several concerts, that those songs
which were understood, hove always called forth
the most rapturous applause. This may be unscientific ana barbarous, but still wo write as one
of the hearers. We once heard Jenny Lind
sing " John Anderson my Joe," and the words
of that song are still vibrating in our ears. The
people, for the most part, prefer soft and gentle
music, and if it is a little plaintive, they are not
offended, neither will they object to lively airs.

Hail Columbia.—ln the Recollections of

that the song of " Hail Columbia" adapted in
measure to the President's March," was

was expected, and a patriotic feeling pervaded
the community. Mr. Fox, a young singer
and actor, called upon Mr. Hopkinson one
morning and said, " To-morrow evening has
been appointed for my benefit at the theater.
Not a single box has been taken, and I fear
there will be a thin house. If you will
write me some patriotic verses on the tune of
the ' President's March,' I feel sure of a full
house. Several people about the theater
have attempted it, but they have come to the
conclusion that it cannot be done. Yet I
think you may succeed." Mr. Hopkinson retired to his study, wrote the first verse and
chorus, and submitted them to Mrs. Hopkinson, who sang them to a harpsichord accompaniment. The time and the words harmonized. The song was soon finished, and
that evening the young actor received it.
The house was crowded—the song was sung
—the audience was delighted—eight times
it was called for and repeated, and when
sung the ninth time the whole- audience
stood up and joined in the chorus. Night
after night " Hail Columbia" was applauded
in the theater ; and in a few days it was the
universal song of the boys in our streets.
Such was the origin of our national song
" Hail Columbia."

To watch and with him pray.
And then beneath the ocean's breast,
They laid the lifeless form ;
And o'er him go the white-winged ships,
And sweeps the raging storm.
No marble marks his resting-place,
But billows round him sweep,
As he lies upon the coral red
In long and dreamless sleep.
The sea rolls on from pole to pole,
And wide an anthem grand
It bears upon the stormy blast—
From shore to shore, from land to land ;
Unheeding those who sleep below
Amid its glittering gems ;
Of pearls and diamonds flashing bright,
Fit for monarchs' diadems.
But when the last great trumpet-blast,
Shall echo o'er the land,
The dead shall rise from every part,
And join the ransomed band.
