Chinese.
This good work among the Chinese portion of our community is both intcresiing
and encouraging. Since the latter part of
May, Sabbath evening services have been
regularly held in the Bethel, Mr. Aheong
having htid on every occasion an attentive
congregation, varying from about sixty to one
hundred in number. On account of many
of his hearers coming from various parts of
China, he has always preached in two different dialects, so that all might comprehend.
" The truth as it is in Jesus," has been plainly
set before them. To accommodate all present, Mr. Aheong presents his text in three
different languages—English, Hawaiian anil
Chinese. In connection with the Sabbath
service, a Tuesday evening prayer meeting
has been held in the Bethel Vestry ; average
attendance about eighteen. Several have
taken part in speaking and praying, and it
is encouraging to know that light seems
dawning on several minds. One has declared his desire " to be one of God's people." At a late prayer meeting, one present
arose and addressed his countrymen on the
benefits they were receiving, and the need of
giving something towards helping the Hawaiian Missionary Board. Accordingly, at
the following Sabbath evening service many
came forward voluntarily and cheerfully gave
for the cause, $ 12 70 having been presented
from willing hearts.
Two evening free schools for Chinese arc
in progress in Honolulu. Several of the
scholars manifest an eager desire to learn to
read the English language, and arc doing
uncommonly well. A very intelligent young
man entered one evening as a new scholar,
wholly unacquainted with the alphabet, and
in a little more than half nn hour he had
learnt it completely.
The efforts put forth (o instruct them are
much appreciated by the scholars. One Saturday evening a few weeks ago, two of the
pupils attending the school in the Bethel
Vestry appeared at the teacher's cottage with
a large basket well stocked vvith cakes and
fruit, wishing to express in more than words
their gratitude for having a school to attend
during their few leisure hours.
The school is opened and closed with
prayer. On one occasion the teacher was
called away on urgent business, and left the
exercises of the evening to be conducted by
a
friend, who was about to commence with-
out prayer, when one of the scholars earn-
estly said, " you peach," " you peach "—
meaning " you pray," which accordingly was
done. This little incident shows that one
heart there realized the propriety of looking
above for help. The means used for the
moral and spiritual improvement of the Chinese among us will, we trust, be blessed of
God. " Despise not the day of small things,"
echoes from the Sacred volume. The little
pebble dropped on the bosom of the ocean
sends out an influence, extending all around.
So the little pebbles of truth, falling on cars
and hearts unused to such, will doubtless exert a goodly influence, further than ever we
can see. This confidence is strengthened by
the words of Him who has said, "For as the
rain cometh down and the snow from heaven,
and rcturnetli not thither, but watereth the
earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, lhat
it may give seed to the sower, and bread to
the eater; so shall my word be that goeth
forth out of my mouth, it shall not return
unto mc void, but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent it."

TIIF. LAND OF THE DAKOTAHS.
The State of .Minnesota embraces the territory formerly held by the far famed Dakotahs. It is difficult to realize the fact that at
so recent a date th.c Indians roamed over
these regions now inhabited by an industrious, busy, thriving and prosperous population of five hundred thousand. Less than a
quarter of a century ago there was scarcely
a thousand white inhabitants, where now
there are more than half a million. The
Territory ol Minnesota was not organized
until 1849, and the State Government not
until 1857. Since that time there has been
a growth and increase almost unexampled in
history. Towns and cities have sprung up,
indicating not a mushroom existence, but exhibiting the elements of perpetuity and
wealth. Railroads are pushing their way in
every direction, and are conveying to distant
markets the products of the soil. As we pass
through the country, stoam up the rivers,
visit the cities and towns, all is life and activity. Cargoes of labor-saving agricultural
machines—mowers and reapers, thrashers
and plows—are continually passing up the
Mississippi and being landed at the various
towns upon its banks.
St. Paul, the capital of the State, is a
thriving and growing city of great activity,
and hor citizens are engaged in a profitable
inland wholesale jobbing trade. The city is
adorned with many beautiful private residences, and several handsome churches are
going up.
Minneapolis and St. Anthony are situated
on opposite sides of the Mississippi River, at
the head of navigation. At this point are
the falls of St. Anthony of historic celebrity.
Already the vast water-power has been made
subservient to the interests of manufactures,

saw-mills converting the forests of the Upper
Mississippi into lumber, while flour-mills arc
grinding wheat with astonishing rapidity.
We passed one mill with capacity for grinding 300 barrels of flour in a single day.
Notwithstanding the vast water-power at
command, still steam-power is the competitor
of water power. From the chamber where
we are now writing, we can hear the steamwhistle of an immensesaw-mill. With these
resources for the acquisition of wealth so apparent on every side, it is gratifying to witness the desire of the people to adorn this
admirable site for a city with beautiful private residences, handsome stores and churches
of great architectural beauty. The Methodists of Minneapolis have just finished their
Centenary church, costing $40,000. It is
built of stone, and is a most substantial
structure. There are in Minneapolis fifteen
churches of various denominations—two
Presbyterian, two Congregational, two Episcopal, one Baptist, one Universalist, one belonging to the Society of Friends, besides
several others. As a people, the inhabitants
of Minneapolis are a church-going people.
They are fully alive to the interests of education. They take much pride in their costly
and handsome public school edifices.
Twenty-one years ago (1848) the Bey.
Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia, visited on a
summer excursion the falls of St. Anthory,
and stood where we now stand. His rejections were as follows : " I visited the falls of
St. Anthony. I know not how other men
feel when standing there, nor how men will
feel a century hence when standing there—
then not in the West, but almost in the centre of the great nation. But when I stood
there, I had views of the greatness of my
country such as 1 have never had in the
crowded capitals and the smiling villages of
the East. How strange is the appearance of
all that land! You ascend the Mississippi
midst scenery unsurpassed in beauty.
You look out for the house and the barn ;
for flocks and herds; for men and women
and children ; but they are not there. A race
that is gone seems to have cultivated those
fields, and then to have silently disappeared—
leaving them for the first man that should
come from the older parts of our country or
from foreign lands to take possession of
them. It is only by a process of reflection
that you are convinced that it is not so."
What lay spread out in an imaginary picture before the mind of Mr. Barnes, it is our
privilege now to witness as fully realized.
We now look out upon the flocks and herds,
the men and women and children ; they are
now here. They have come from tho East,

The Swede and
the Norwegian are crowding the steamboats
antl railway curs, pressing their way into the
interior. All the inhabitants of Northern
Europe appear to have become practically
impressed with the idea that " Uncle Sam is
rich enough to give them all a farm." They
are now coming forward to take possession
of the valuable gift. The United States
Government sells land for $1 25 per acre ;
and if the immigrant will go upon unoccupied and unprcempted lands, and will cultivate the soil for five years, then Uncle Sam
will actually give the settler a farm, " without money and without price."
While the tourist finds much to interest
in witnessing the onward march of commerce
and civilization, yet there is also much to remind him of former times and the ancient
inhabitants of the soil. The aborigines have
left their names upon the towns and villages.
Winona, Mendota, and a thousand other Indian names, arc still retained. Occasionally
too a veritable Indian may still be seen,
the land of the Dakotahs.
" InWhere
the falls of Minnehaha
Flash and gleam among the oak trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley."
No one visits this part of the Continent
without going to view the falls, beautiful by
nature, but rendered famous by the poet's
pen. The visitor is prepared to look around
for some trace of the Indians. A youthful
member of our party expressed a desire to
see the smoke curling up from an Indian's
wigwam, but how sadly was our party disappointed, for instead of the wigwam inhabited
by " the ancient arrow maker," whom Longfellow fancied occupied his time in making

is in this busy, matter-of-fact age, a railroad has been laid along only a few feet
above the far-famed falls of Minnehaha. The
falls are there in all their beauty and loveliness, and we hope they may ever remain to
delight the eye of the visitor, but we fear
some shrewd Yankee will cast his eye upon
the spot, with reference to the building of a
cotton factory or a machine shop. Report
however says that the falls are upon a Government reservation belonging to Fort Snelling. They arc not more than a mile from
the fort. In general appearance they resemble the Rainbow Falls at Hilo, although only
about one-half as high. The entire fall of
water would not exceed sixty feet, and if we
mistake not, the Rainbow Falls at Hilo exceed one hundred. At Minnehaha Falls we
were privileged with a rainbow. In turning
over a history of Minnesota, we notice that
the meaning of the word minnehnha is not
waters," but merely
but we suppose Longfellow
was privileged to indulge in a little poetic
license. "All waterfalls, in the Dakotuh
tongue, are called ha-ha, never minneha-ha."
Neill's History of Minnesota.
On the day of our visit (June 2d) to the
falls of Minnehaha, we also improved the
opportunity of visiting Fort Snelling. No
military post in the whole valley of the Mississippi has become so historical or been associated with more interesting incident* than
this fort, situated at the confluence of the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. The fort
is located on a high bluff, at the exact point
where these two rivers mingle their waters.
The view from the fort commands a prospect
of both rivers, before and after they are joined.
The fort was established, or its foundations
were laid in September, 1820 (the very year
the American Mission was commenced at
the Hawaiian Islands.) From that year to
the present time, this has been a central
point in all military operations connected
with the Indians in this part of the territory
of the United States. It was a central point
for all travelers to visit and from which to
take their departure. Here too was organized the first Christian church in this part of
the American Continent. Missionaries of
the American, Presbyterian and Methodist
Boards often resorted hither. This church
was organized in 1535, when twenty-two
persons of various denominations sat down
around the table of their common Lord. On
that memorable occasion a young officer by
the name of Ogden publicly professed liis
faith in the atoning merits of a crucified Redeemer. Throughout his subsequent career
his character as a Christian man in the
United States army became conspicuous.
He died at a military post in Kansas only a
few years ago. Mrs. Snelling, the wife of
Colonel Snelling, (after whom the fort was
named,) is referred to in the history of the
fort and Minnesota as an eminently Christian
woman. Other ladies too, wives of United
States officers, were persons of excellent
Christian character.
In glancing over Miss H. E. Bishop's
Home," or " First Years in MinneFloral
«'
sota," we accidentally met with the following paragraphs relating to the grandmother
of our fellow-traveler, Mrs. William Hall, o
Honolulu :
" The first white woman who trod this
ground was Mrs. Clark, wife of the Commissary (United States army); the first to
endure the fatigues and enjoy the romance
of a voyage on the Upper Mississippi. The
water was so low that the men were obliged
frequently to wade in the river and draw the
boat through the mud, thus consuming six
weeks in the last 300 miles. (The distance
is now passed over by steamboats in one day
and a half.) It was December when they

got into their winter quarters, and the fierce
winds which swept over the prairies obliged
them to keep mostly within doors. Once in
a violent storm the roof of their cabin was
partly removed, leaving no protection for the
inmates, antl the baby for shelter was plajced
itiuler tlie bed."
That infant child is now the accomplished
wife ol General Van Cleve of St. Anthony,
and mother of Mrs. Hall. It was our privilege to meet grandmother, mother and
daughter at St. Anthony. Mrs. Clark has
seen much of frontier life and experienced
many of its attendant hardships, but she is
still cheerful and happy, retaining all her
faculties with remarkable freshness, and has
the current

life.
It

just fifty years ago (1S19)
since she lirst passed up the Mississippi, and
became located for several years at Fort

of 500,000; hence at least 100,000 white
women are now where fifty years ago there

lIAKOTAII MISSION.
Dr. Williamson says : " It is very remarkable that more than 360 members of the Pilgrim Church have all been converted within
the last five years. About half a dozen had
been baptized in infancy, and these, and a
few others, perhaps, had made some progress
in learning to read but five years ago only
one of the whole number had ever partaken
of the Lord's Supper, and he had been for
some time suspended, and had never learned
to read. The others were wild heathen, and
none of them were received into the visible
church prior to the 3d of February, 1803.
The two pastors, and most of the ruling
elders, learned the alphabet in the prison at
Mankato, in the early months of that year,
and most of the other members have learned
to read since that time, (for a large majority
of them now read, and use their hymn-books
in public worship.)
" The harvest here has been gathered in
less than five years, but it was anions these
Indians that Messrs. Pond, Aiton and Hancock, and our brethren of the Swiss and
Methodist missions, had toiled for years.
They saw little or no fruit of their lahors,
which nevertheless accomplished much in
;
preparing the ground."
The foregoing paragraphs we copy from
the Christian World. Missionary operations
among the Dakotah Indians have been much
hindered by the terrible massacre of 1862.
The following paragraph relating to the theological opinions of the missionaries of the
American Board we copy from " Neill's History of Minnesota : "
" Calvinism is frequently represented by
those who do not embrace its tenets, as a
mure abstract system, only anxious to impress upon the race stem theological formulas ; but the journals of its missionaries
BUMS the savages are always eminently

have also been printed in the Dakotah lanDAKOTA!! LANGUAGE.
We learn that great attention has been
paid to the study and arrangement of the
Dakotah language. A large dictionary of
the language has been published under the
authority of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington nnd the Historical Society of
Minnesota. The missionaries of the American Board—including S. W. and G. H.
Pond, Dr. T. S. Williamson, the Rev. S. R.
Riggs, and others—have been engaged in
this work. Their labors commenced as early
as 1834, and have been continued, with partial interruptions, down to the present time.
They had so far mastered the language as
to publish an extensive dictionary in 1552.
This work was beautifully printed in quarto
form in the city of New York by the well
known publisher, G. P. Putnam. Before the
printing of the work was undertaken, the
manuscript was submitted to the examination of the highest linguistical talent of the
country. The late President of Harvard
University, C. C. Felton, gave it his sanction and approval. The final execution of
the work fell to the lot of the Rev. S. R.
Riggs, and in the preface, dated New York
city, 1852,he thus remarks : " The preparation of the Dakotah-English part of the die-,
tionary for the press, containing more than
(16,000) sixteen thousand words, occupied
all the time I could spare from my other
missionary employments for more than a
year. The labor bestowed on the EnglishDakotah part was performed partly by Mrs.
Riggs." This good woman has recently
died at Baliot, Michigan, and her death has
been noticed in a late number of the Missionary Htrald.
The execution of this important literary
work was only incidental to the missionary
enterprise, but it indicates what a vast amount
of labor has been accomplished by those devoting their lives to the spiritual welfare of
the Indians. Let no man say that such
labors are not useful. The world is not expected to appreciate the missionary's efforts
for the moral mid spiritual elevation of the
" poor Indian," but the preparation of this
dictionary is an Herculean literary undertaking. The language must be learned by
mingling among roaming and migratory
people. A grammar must be composed, and
sixteen thousand words caug/U up, written
down, defined, copied, re-copied, and finally
printed. Hoe opus, Hie labor. When the
Indian tribes of North America have passed
away, this dictionary, with Elliot's Bible,
will be looked upon with wonder and admiration by the literary amateurs and learned
philologists of Europe and America.

THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION ILLUSTRATED.
Formerly Indians of various tribes resorted
Fort Snelling to receive their annuities
and negotiate with officer) of the United
States Government. In the early history of
these transactions we find one incident recorded, worthy of being kept in perpetual remembrance, equally with that recorded in
ancient history, wherein a certain king was
willing to suffer the loss of one eye when it
would save an eye of his son, who had been
condemned to lose both eyes for his crimes.
The fact to which we refer was this : A
party of the Sissetoan Dakotahs, near Council Bluffs, in Missouri, had killed two United
States soldiers. The United Slates authorities notified the tribe that they would have
no intercourse with them until the murderers
were given up. Deprived of blankets, powder and shot, the tribe held a council at Big
Stone Lake, and the case was laid before the
tribe by a man by the name of Colin Campbell. So strong an appeal wns made to these
Red Men of the forest, that one Mahyah
Khotah and another Indian came forward
and acknowledged themselves as the murderers, and expressed their willingness to deliver themselves up to be punished by the
United States Government. At this solemn
moment the aged father of the latter voluntarily stepped forth and offered to go and
suffer punishment in his son's place. The
substitute was accepted on the part of the
tribe, in council assembled. On the following day Mahyah Khotah and the old man
bade adieu to their home and started for
Fort Snelling. "On the 12th of November,
1820," says the historian Neill, " when about
a mile distant, the party halted, smoked, and
the death dirge was chanted. Blackening
their faces, and gashing their arms, as a
token of grief, they formed a procession, nnd
inarched to the centre of the soldiers' parade
c-round. First came n Sissetoan, bearing
the British flag, and then one of the murderers and the aged chief, who had become an
atonement for his only son. Their arms
were secured by ropes of Buffalo hair, and
large splinters of oak *were thrust through
their flesh above the elbows to indicate their
contempt of death. As they approached
singing dcatli-songs, a company of soldiers
was drawn up, and Colonel Snelling came
out to meet them. A fire was then kindled
and the British flag was burned, after which
the medal of the murderer was given up, and
then both surrendered themselves. The old
chief was detained as hostage nnd the murderer sent to St. Louis for trial."
The result of the whole affair was that the
murderer was sent to St. Louis, and no witto

There may lie some modifications of the

writer of the following article, that there were
members of the Evangelical Association present who cared not to vote, and who suppress
their own names and still desire to have their
record as in the negative? This is a shuffling with which we should be unwilling to
credit any members of that worthy Association. The issues of the day among us arc
plain and manifest, and they require to be
squarely met.

1 presume this is literally true of the vote

who dissented from the remarks of the report upon " education," and did not vote at
all; and some also who dissented were absent when the vote was taken.
This explanation is rendered necessary by
the publication of the names on the 10th

The
Russian
Nobleman and Bible.
In the year 1825, a rich young nobleman
, was suspected of havof Russia, Mr.
ing taken part in a conspiracy against the
life of the Emperor Nicholas. He was arrested and thrown into prison at St. Petersburg. Naturally of a quick and violent temper, the injustice done him aroused the deepest passions of his soul, and he spent that
first long December night swearing and
stamping on the ground, alternately cursing
the sovereign of his country who had ordered
his arrest, and the Sovereign of heaven who
had permitted it. Exhausted at last, he
threw himself on his bed of straw, and remained there for hours in mournful silence.
Thus eight wretched days .passed away.
On the evening of the ninth a venerable
clergyman came to pray with and for hini,
and to entreat him to accept the invitation
of the Saviour, who says, " Come unto me,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1
will give you rest.''— Mat. 11:26. The only
answer was a scornful laugh. On leaving,
however, the old man c;aveiiini a Bible, begging him to read it. But as soon as the door
was closed, Mr. W
kicked it into a corner, exclaiming, " I want nothing to do with
the word of a God who permits injustice;"
and there the sacred book was left for days
unnoticed. But time hung heavily ; hours
seemed days and days months. To relieve
his utter weariness, lie took up the Bible and
opened it. The first verse that caught his
eye impressed him deeply : " Call upon me
in the day of trouble I will deliver thee, and
thou shaft glorify me."—I'sa. 50:15. Hut
he shut the book immediately, as if ashamed
to have been affected by reading anything in
a Bible. The next day he opened it again,
:
chapters, sometimes even lenrning them by
heart, and at last became so much interested
that he often waited impatiently for daylight,
to read and study his Bible.
It was not long before he began to know
something of the state of his own heart, and
to see that, like every human heart, it was
wicked."—Jcr. 17:9. He began
"to desperately
feel that in the sight of God he was a sinner, deserving eternal punishment. In his
distress, he fell upon his knees, crying out,
O Lord, save mc, or I perish. 0 Lord,
"wash
away my sins. Blot them out with the
precious blood of Christ. For Jesus' sake,
have mercy upon me, a miserable sinner."
His prayer was answered ; he felt thnt his
sins were pardoned; and now, instead of
complaining of the injustice of others, he was
mourning over his own sinfulness, and thinking of the love of Jesus. He asked to see
the old minister ; and the joy of the good
man may be imagined when, on entering tin;
cell, he found the once enraged prisoner sitting with a quiet, happy countenance, rejoicing in the hope that Christ hail now become
his Saviour and Friend. "At first," said
, "1 considered my imprisonment
Mr. W
a great misfortune; but now I see why I was
placed here, and I thank God for it. If 1 had
continued in my prosperity, I should perhaps
never have read this holy book which,by the
grace of God, has led mc to Jesus."
tranquilly
From that time Mr. W
awaited his trial, and soon the sentence of
death was pronounced upon him. He listened to the verdict with calmness, asking
only permission to write to his aunt and sis-
The request was granted, and he sent
them the following letter
" You have learned from the papers that
I am sentenced to be hung on the 15th of
next February. Do not weep, hut rejoice,
for by the grace of God 1 am not afraid to
die. I know whom 1 have believed.' The
ter.
:
'
best moment of a Christian's life is his last,
for then he is nearest heaven. Death to him
is only passing from a world of sin and suffering to heaven, where the redeemed of the
Lord will be hnppy for ever. There I will
wait for you, in that blessed land where there
will be no more prisons, no more sorrow, no
more sin. I wish I could see you once more
on this side of the grave but as I cannot, I
cheerfully submit. My tears are falling while
I write, yet 1 am happy and full of peace,
thinking of the blessedness promised to all
who believe in Christ. This happiness will
be mine already when these lines reach you.
May the Almighty God, whose presence 1
now enjoy so fully in my.cell, nnd who has
made me free in the midst of my chains,
comfort you and be with you both unto the
end."
The writer of this account was in Russia
at the time these events occurred, visiting
, aware
this aunt and sister; and Mr. W
of the fact, added these few words to her,
which may perhaps encourage those who are
trying to save souls, but do not always see
immediate results " My dear friend, you
remember when you were last at my aunt's
house you spoke to me more than once about
the salvation of my soul; but \ was young
and careless, and did not listen to you. But

By his mercy I have been brought
believe in him. My sins, though numberless, have, I trust, been blotted out by his
most precious blood, and soon 1 expect to be
in his presence lor ever. Comfort thoso
whom I love. Tell tjicm it matters little
when or how we die, whether on the gallows
or in n prison, in a garret or a pnlace; tho
all-important thing is, to be sure of heaven
by ' looking unto Jesus.' "
On the fatal day, the principal rooms in
\s aunt
the splendid mansion of Mr. W
were draped in mourning, nnd we were all
bowed down with grief; yet while we wept
wo prayed and praised God, and he comforted us.
When the faithful minister left him upon
the evening previous to the appointed day,
fell upon his knees, and in earnMr. W
est prayer committed his soul to Christ, ami
then for a few hours quietly slept. Before
the dawn of day he was aroused by voices in
the passage and steps evidently approaching
his cell. " They come early to take me to
the gallows," he thought, and though prepared to die, his heart beat faster. The door
of the cell was thrown back, and a tall, noble
form entered, which he instantly recognized
as that of the Emperor. A man had just
been arrested, charged with a share in the
conspiracy, and upon his person was found a
letter which said, " We have done all we
, but in vain; he decould to enroll W
clares he will remain true to his sovereign
until death." The paper was immediately
handed to Nicholas, and he had come himself to release him. "A few hours more,"
said the Emperor, " and 1 should have lost
in you one of my best ollicers. Forgive my
unconscious error, and accept from me, in
remembrance of this day, the rank of genheart.

I hope you may live to enjoy many happy
years."
Mr. W
journeyed as rapidly as possifound
us all sitting in a room which was hung with
deep folds of crape. When he began to
speak, and tell us of the mercy of God to
him, tears of joy and thankfulness ran down
our cheeks. As he finished his account, he
added, " We have prayed to God in our distress, let us now bless him for his goodness ;
especially let us thank him for having given
ble to the
house of his aunt, where he
us his only begotten Son to be our Saviour,
our Intercessor, our near Friend and Comforter in trouble." And that prayer came
from full and grateful hearts.
lived the life
From that time Mr. W
of a truly Christian man. His chief delight
was to visit the poor and distressed, nnd
bring them the consolation lie had himself
lountl in the gospel. He built near his castle a large hospital and home for the sick and
friendless, and went from bed to bed and
room to room, speaking to all of the love of
Christ. His Bible, just as he had used it in
his cell, was placed in a rich, case and kept
in his parlor, that it might remind him how
Cod had rescued him not only from prison,
but from eternal death.
The joy nnd peace which Mr. W
found in his cell is offered to us all, wherever
we are and whatever our circumstances; but
we can only obtain it as he did, by studying and obeying the word of God." " If you
have neglected the Bible, or turned from it
in scorn as he did at first, seriously determine to be so unwise no longer. Your destiny for time and eternity depends upon how
you treat this book. It olfers you " eternal
life."—John 3 :16. You cannot afford to
neglect such an offer.

It wn" near the
of beautiful summer's day thut I took my hat to go abroad
and enjoy the benuties of the most lovely village in the Middle States. The pure air,
the declining sun, the rose and locust odors
that perfumed the gardens nnd streets, refreshed my spirits and delighted my heart,
after the toil and confinement of the day.
Going leisurely along, 1 approached a group
of boys, both large and small, in the middle
of the street, engaged in earnest conversation. Some Dade expressive gestures with
the hands; several were speaking at once;
others, all ears, were listening, or, all eyes,
were looking. Some were earnest, some
vexed, .some doubting. 1 cast my eyes over
their healthy, happy, bright, intelligent faces,
and thought how soon manhood would steal
over them, and they be called to stand where
their fathers stootl.
" Well, 1 think it's wrong ! " exclaimed
one.
" answered another, scornfully,
" Wrong1 !don't

" Some !of the group
laughed at this bold
and reckless speech. I looked at the speaker,
a blue-eyed, light-haired hoy, whose slender
frame and agile motions were full of grace.
He did not look as though he could utter and
act upon a sentiment like that. And, as 1
walked on, with no other thought to interest
me, the words of the boy were resolved in
my mind. Wrong 1 don't care for that!"
How little he realizes the sail and dreadful

meaning of those words, thought
brief as they are, they comprehend all that

father's house. Quietly and beautifully it
stood beneath the shadow of tall trees. It
seemed as if the refinement and elegance
which education, piety and wealth threw
around its interior, with the rural beauty and
deep quiet which surrounded it, made this
home a sanctuary where his rash anil unholy
expression could find no favor, however it
might astonish or delight his play-fellows.
Many years have parsed since then. I
often think of those village boys, antl, often
as opportunity occurs, impure with deep interest what nook they fill in the great World's
theatre. And 1 now know that two of that
group have finished their earthly career, and
gone into eternity. The first who died was
George. All men spoke well of him. * '
A licautiful brig ol the United States navy
was steadily making her way over tho broad
Atlantic, on the last «i( the year (18412.)
With her white sails all unfurled, she bant
proudly to the breeze. Her tall masts, her
light spars, her linn rigging, hail outrode the
storms finely nnd gaily. She had finished
her mission to n distant land, and with fair
winds and clear skies, was rapidly Hearing
her distant port. What of her crew ? Did
her commander behold with gratification the
prompt execution of his orders? Were the
ollicers respected ? Were the sailors ready
und obedient? Did the ward-rooms, the

decks, the forecastle witness cheerful alacrity
and faithfulness in the discharge of duty?
Were all rejoicing to return to parents, to
wives, and to little ones 'I No, within the
heart of that noble vessel rebellion was brewing, and dissatisfaction was heard in low
in titterings. A plot was formed ; sailor after
sailor was reduced from his allegiance, and
wus scaled with a fearful oath to conspire
against his fellows. In the deep midnight,
at a given signal, they wore to murder their
ollicers, and cast their dead bodies upon tho
waters. Masters of the brig, they were to
strike the (lug of their country, and hoist the
black colors of the pirate. Evurything was
ready ; the mutineers were on the eve of executing their daring purpose. God overruled tile (earful deed. The ringleaders were
secured and put in irons. The safety of the
vessel demanded immediate attention and
prompt action, —they were doomed to die!
to die soon,—to die quick. "One hour!"
besought an unfortunate youth. An hour
passed. All hands were called on deck ; officers were armed with cutlass and pistol,
the watch was prepared,—the signal given,—
the cannon rolled, —the bodies of three were
hanging on the yard-arm ! The brig was
safe.
The bold lender of that reckless band was
one of that group of playful boys. Were
not his career and death a terrible fulfillment
of his terrible words, " Wrong ! I don't care
for that! "

Honolulu, wlit re he could have the benetlU or the Queen'slioapilal. Dr. Gulick wont ut this lime as dklegate, aud was tho
bearer of this letter. In their general meeting-, themissionaries
approved of Kapohaku's r< turning with Dr. Gulick on board tit'
the Murnimj Star. Dr. Gulick In his report says
" This blind missionary ot yours If a rare man —not indeed

While at the Queen's Hospital his sight was so much improved that h'< could walk the street! without a guide, and
could distinguish persons and oHjootS "ear at hnnd, but he whs
never able ngain to see so as to read and write. Aided snd
accompanied by MM of his friends, he made a tour of the Hawaiian Islands, interesting the people very much in his description of the character and condition of the i»or heathen.
While at Lihue, on Kauai, the people there, together with the
(lovernor of Lhat island, earnestly requested him to stop with
them and become their minister. He remained there for mo it:
than a .year, and then returned to Honolulu and labored as an
assistant preucher with Key. I*. Smith, his former pastor. KapohakuV preaching was so acceptable slid satisfactory to the
pastor, church aud congregation at Kaumaknpili, lhat in 18li»j,
when Key. I. Smith Imd leave of absence for a year to visit his
native bind, he cheerfully cmplicd with the request of the
church that Kupohaku be their preaclnr during his absence.
On the return of the pastor in June, 18GC. Kapohaku was requested to continue bts tabors, and alternate with the pastor in
preaching on the Snbhath, and to aid also in conducting meetings during the week.
1h April. IW7. the districts of Moanaluaand Kalihl were set
off and organised into at- independent church. A large majority of the church metril-ers in these two districts immediately
niade a call lo t, Kapohaku to become their ministerand pastor, offering him a salary of $150 a year. As a licensed preacher
he labored faithfully and succcsslully among Ihem till the day
of his death.
On three different occasions duihig his missionary and ministerial life, Paulo Kapohaku very narrowly escajied death. I.

Chinese.
This good work among the Chinese portion of our community is both intcresiing
and encouraging. Since the latter part of
May, Sabbath evening services have been
regularly held in the Bethel, Mr. Aheong
having htid on every occasion an attentive
congregation, varying from about sixty to one
hundred in number. On account of many
of his hearers coming from various parts of
China, he has always preached in two different dialects, so that all might comprehend.
" The truth as it is in Jesus," has been plainly
set before them. To accommodate all present, Mr. Aheong presents his text in three
different languages—English, Hawaiian anil
Chinese. In connection with the Sabbath
service, a Tuesday evening prayer meeting
has been held in the Bethel Vestry ; average
attendance about eighteen. Several have
taken part in speaking and praying, and it
is encouraging to know that light seems
dawning on several minds. One has declared his desire " to be one of God's people." At a late prayer meeting, one present
arose and addressed his countrymen on the
benefits they were receiving, and the need of
giving something towards helping the Hawaiian Missionary Board. Accordingly, at
the following Sabbath evening service many
came forward voluntarily and cheerfully gave
for the cause, $ 12 70 having been presented
from willing hearts.
Two evening free schools for Chinese arc
in progress in Honolulu. Several of the
scholars manifest an eager desire to learn to
read the English language, and arc doing
uncommonly well. A very intelligent young
man entered one evening as a new scholar,
wholly unacquainted with the alphabet, and
in a little more than half nn hour he had
learnt it completely.
The efforts put forth (o instruct them are
much appreciated by the scholars. One Saturday evening a few weeks ago, two of the
pupils attending the school in the Bethel
Vestry appeared at the teacher's cottage with
a large basket well stocked vvith cakes and
fruit, wishing to express in more than words
their gratitude for having a school to attend
during their few leisure hours.
The school is opened and closed with
prayer. On one occasion the teacher was
called away on urgent business, and left the
exercises of the evening to be conducted by
a
friend, who was about to commence with-
out prayer, when one of the scholars earn-
estly said, " you peach," " you peach "—
meaning " you pray," which accordingly was
done. This little incident shows that one
heart there realized the propriety of looking
above for help. The means used for the
moral and spiritual improvement of the Chinese among us will, we trust, be blessed of
God. " Despise not the day of small things,"
echoes from the Sacred volume. The little
pebble dropped on the bosom of the ocean
sends out an influence, extending all around.
So the little pebbles of truth, falling on cars
and hearts unused to such, will doubtless exert a goodly influence, further than ever we
can see. This confidence is strengthened by
the words of Him who has said, "For as the
rain cometh down and the snow from heaven,
and rcturnetli not thither, but watereth the
earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, lhat
it may give seed to the sower, and bread to
the eater; so shall my word be that goeth
forth out of my mouth, it shall not return
unto mc void, but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent it."

TIIF. LAND OF THE DAKOTAHS.
The State of .Minnesota embraces the territory formerly held by the far famed Dakotahs. It is difficult to realize the fact that at
so recent a date th.c Indians roamed over
these regions now inhabited by an industrious, busy, thriving and prosperous population of five hundred thousand. Less than a
quarter of a century ago there was scarcely
a thousand white inhabitants, where now
there are more than half a million. The
Territory ol Minnesota was not organized
until 1849, and the State Government not
until 1857. Since that time there has been
a growth and increase almost unexampled in
history. Towns and cities have sprung up,
indicating not a mushroom existence, but exhibiting the elements of perpetuity and
wealth. Railroads are pushing their way in
every direction, and are conveying to distant
markets the products of the soil. As we pass
through the country, stoam up the rivers,
visit the cities and towns, all is life and activity. Cargoes of labor-saving agricultural
machines—mowers and reapers, thrashers
and plows—are continually passing up the
Mississippi and being landed at the various
towns upon its banks.
St. Paul, the capital of the State, is a
thriving and growing city of great activity,
and hor citizens are engaged in a profitable
inland wholesale jobbing trade. The city is
adorned with many beautiful private residences, and several handsome churches are

Minneapolis and St. Anthony are situated
on opposite sides of the Mississippi River, at
the head of navigation. At this point are
the falls of St. Anthony of historic celebrity.
Already the vast water-power has been made

saw-mills converting the forests of the Upper
Mississippi into lumber, while flour-mills arc
grinding wheat with astonishing rapidity.
We passed one mill with capacity for grinding 300 barrels of flour in a single day.
Notwithstanding the vast water-power at
command, still steam-power is the competitor
of water power. From the chamber where
we are now writing, we can hear the steamwhistle of an immensesaw-mill. With these
resources for the acquisition of wealth so apparent on every side, it is gratifying to witness the desire of the people to adorn this
admirable site for a city with beautiful private residences, handsome stores and churches
of great architectural beauty. The Methodists of Minneapolis have just finished their
Centenary church, costing $40,000. It is
built of stone, and is a most substantial
structure. There are in Minneapolis fifteen
churches of various denominations—two
Presbyterian, two Congregational, two Episcopal, one Baptist, one Universalist, one belonging to the Society of Friends, besides
several others. As a people, the inhabitants
of Minneapolis are a church-going people.
They are fully alive to the interests of education. They take much pride in their costly
and handsome public school edifices.
Twenty-one years ago (1848) the Bey.
Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia, visited on a
summer excursion the falls of St. Anthory,
and stood where we now stand. His rejections were as follows : " I visited the falls of
St. Anthony. I know not how other men
feel when standing there, nor how men will
feel a century hence when standing there—
then not in the West, but almost in the centre of the great nation. But when I stood
there, I had views of the greatness of my
country such as 1 have never had in the
crowded capitals and the smiling villages of
the East. How strange is the appearance of
all that land! You ascend the Mississippi
midst scenery unsurpassed in beauty.
You look out for the house and the barn ;
for flocks and herds; for men and women
and children ; but they are not there. A race
that is gone seems to have cultivated those
fields, and then to have silently disappeared—
leaving them for the first man that should
come from the older parts of our country or
from foreign lands to take possession of
them. It is only by a process of reflection
that you are convinced that it is not so."
What lay spread out in an imaginary picture before the mind of Mr. Barnes, it is our
privilege now to witness as fully realized.
We now look out upon the flocks and herds,
the men and women and children ; they are
now here. They have come from tho East,

The Swede and
the Norwegian are crowding the steamboats
antl railway curs, pressing their way into the
interior. All the inhabitants of Northern
Europe appear to have become practically
impressed with the idea that " Uncle Sam is
rich enough to give them all a farm." They
are now coming forward to take possession
of the valuable gift. The United States
Government sells land for $1 25 per acre ;
and if the immigrant will go upon unoccupied and unprcempted lands, and will cultivate the soil for five years, then Uncle Sam
will actually give the settler a farm, " without money and without price."
While the tourist finds much to interest
in witnessing the onward march of commerce
and civilization, yet there is also much to remind him of former times and the ancient
inhabitants of the soil. The aborigines have
left their names upon the towns and villages.
Winona, Mendota, and a thousand other Indian names, arc still retained. Occasionally
too a veritable Indian may still be seen,
the land of the Dakotahs.
" InWhere
the falls of Minnehaha
Flash and gleam among the oak trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley."
No one visits this part of the Continent
without going to view the falls, beautiful by
nature, but rendered famous by the poet's
pen. The visitor is prepared to look around
for some trace of the Indians. A youthful
member of our party expressed a desire to
see the smoke curling up from an Indian's
wigwam, but how sadly was our party disappointed, for instead of the wigwam inhabited
by " the ancient arrow maker," whom Longfellow fancied occupied his time in making

is in this busy, matter-of-fact age, a railroad has been laid along only a few feet
above the far-famed falls of Minnehaha. The
falls are there in all their beauty and loveliness, and we hope they may ever remain to
delight the eye of the visitor, but we fear
some shrewd Yankee will cast his eye upon
the spot, with reference to the building of a
cotton factory or a machine shop. Report
however says that the falls are upon a Government reservation belonging to Fort Snelling. They arc not more than a mile from
the fort. In general appearance they resemble the Rainbow Falls at Hilo, although only
about one-half as high. The entire fall of
water would not exceed sixty feet, and if we
mistake not, the Rainbow Falls at Hilo exceed one hundred. At Minnehaha Falls we
were privileged with a rainbow. In turning
over a history of Minnesota, we notice that
the meaning of the word minnehnha is not

but we suppose Longfellow
was privileged to indulge in a little poetic
license. "All waterfalls, in the Dakotuh
tongue, are called ha-ha, never minneha-ha."
Neill's History of Minnesota.
On the day of our visit (June 2d) to the
falls of Minnehaha, we also improved the
opportunity of visiting Fort Snelling. No
military post in the whole valley of the Mississippi has become so historical or been associated with more interesting incident* than
this fort, situated at the confluence of the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. The fort
is located on a high bluff, at the exact point
where these two rivers mingle their waters.
The view from the fort commands a prospect
of both rivers, before and after they are joined.
The fort was established, or its foundations
were laid in September, 1820 (the very year
the American Mission was commenced at
the Hawaiian Islands.) From that year to
the present time, this has been a central
point in all military operations connected
with the Indians in this part of the territory
of the United States. It was a central point
for all travelers to visit and from which to
take their departure. Here too was organized the first Christian church in this part of
the American Continent. Missionaries of
the American, Presbyterian and Methodist
Boards often resorted hither. This church
was organized in 1535, when twenty-two
persons of various denominations sat down
around the table of their common Lord. On
that memorable occasion a young officer by
the name of Ogden publicly professed liis
faith in the atoning merits of a crucified Redeemer. Throughout his subsequent career
his character as a Christian man in the
United States army became conspicuous.
He died at a military post in Kansas only a
few years ago. Mrs. Snelling, the wife of
Colonel Snelling, (after whom the fort was
named,) is referred to in the history of the
fort and Minnesota as an eminently Christian
woman. Other ladies too, wives of United
States officers, were persons of excellent
Christian character.
In glancing over Miss H. E. Bishop's
Home," or " First Years in MinneFloral
«'
sota," we accidentally met with the following paragraphs relating to the grandmother
of our fellow-traveler, Mrs. William Hall, o
Honolulu :
" The first white woman who trod this
ground was Mrs. Clark, wife of the Commissary (United States army); the first to
endure the fatigues and enjoy the romance
of a voyage on the Upper Mississippi. The
water was so low that the men were obliged
frequently to wade in the river and draw the
boat through the mud, thus consuming six
weeks in the last 300 miles. (The distance
is now passed over by steamboats in one day
and a half.) It was December when they

got into their winter quarters, and the fierce
winds which swept over the prairies obliged
them to keep mostly within doors. Once in
a violent storm the roof of their cabin was
partly removed, leaving no protection for the
inmates, antl the baby for shelter was plajced
itiuler tlie bed."
That infant child is now the accomplished
wife ol General Van Cleve of St. Anthony,
and mother of Mrs. Hall. It was our privilege to meet grandmother, mother and
daughter at St. Anthony. Mrs. Clark has
seen much of frontier life and experienced
many of its attendant hardships, but she is
still cheerful and happy, retaining all her
faculties with remarkable freshness, and has
the current

just fifty years ago (1S19)
since she lirst passed up the Mississippi, and

lIAKOTAII MISSION.
Dr. Williamson says : " It is very remarkable that more than 360 members of the Pilgrim Church have all been converted within
the last five years. About half a dozen had
been baptized in infancy, and these, and a
few others, perhaps, had made some progress
in learning to read but five years ago only
one of the whole number had ever partaken
of the Lord's Supper, and he had been for
some time suspended, and had never learned
to read. The others were wild heathen, and
none of them were received into the visible
church prior to the 3d of February, 1803.
The two pastors, and most of the ruling
elders, learned the alphabet in the prison at
Mankato, in the early months of that year,
and most of the other members have learned
to read since that time, (for a large majority
of them now read, and use their hymn-books
in public worship.)
" The harvest here has been gathered in
less than five years, but it was anions these
Indians that Messrs. Pond, Aiton and Hancock, and our brethren of the Swiss and
Methodist missions, had toiled for years.
They saw little or no fruit of their lahors,
which nevertheless accomplished much in
;
preparing the ground."
The foregoing paragraphs we copy from
the Christian World. Missionary operations
among the Dakotah Indians have been much
hindered by the terrible massacre of 1862.
The following paragraph relating to the theological opinions of the missionaries of the
American Board we copy from " Neill's History of Minnesota : "
" Calvinism is frequently represented by
those who do not embrace its tenets, as a
mure abstract system, only anxious to impress upon the race stem theological formulas ; but the journals of its missionaries

have also been printed in the Dakotah lanDAKOTA!! LANGUAGE.
We learn that great attention has been
paid to the study and arrangement of the
Dakotah language. A large dictionary of
the language has been published under the
authority of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington nnd the Historical Society of
Minnesota. The missionaries of the American Board—including S. W. and G. H.
Pond, Dr. T. S. Williamson, the Rev. S. R.
Riggs, and others—have been engaged in
this work. Their labors commenced as early
as 1834, and have been continued, with partial interruptions, down to the present time.
They had so far mastered the language as
to publish an extensive dictionary in 1552.
This work was beautifully printed in quarto
form in the city of New York by the well
known publisher, G. P. Putnam. Before the
printing of the work was undertaken, the
manuscript was submitted to the examination of the highest linguistical talent of the
country. The late President of Harvard
University, C. C. Felton, gave it his sanction and approval. The final execution of
the work fell to the lot of the Rev. S. R.
Riggs, and in the preface, dated New York
city, 1852,he thus remarks : " The preparation of the Dakotah-English part of the die-,
tionary for the press, containing more than
(16,000) sixteen thousand words, occupied
all the time I could spare from my other
missionary employments for more than a
year. The labor bestowed on the EnglishDakotah part was performed partly by Mrs.
Riggs." This good woman has recently
died at Baliot, Michigan, and her death has
been noticed in a late number of the Missionary Htrald.
The execution of this important literary
work was only incidental to the missionary
enterprise, but it indicates what a vast amount
of labor has been accomplished by those devoting their lives to the spiritual welfare of
the Indians. Let no man say that such
labors are not useful. The world is not expected to appreciate the missionary's efforts
for the moral mid spiritual elevation of the
" poor Indian," but the preparation of this
dictionary is an Herculean literary undertaking. The language must be learned by
mingling among roaming and migratory
people. A grammar must be composed, and
sixteen thousand words caug/U up, written
down, defined, copied, re-copied, and finally
printed. Hoe opus, Hie labor. When the
Indian tribes of North America have passed
away, this dictionary, with Elliot's Bible,
will be looked upon with wonder and admiration by the literary amateurs and learned
philologists of Europe and America.

THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION ILLUSTRATED.
Formerly Indians of various tribes resorted
Fort Snelling to receive their annuities
and negotiate with officer) of the United
States Government. In the early history of
these transactions we find one incident recorded, worthy of being kept in perpetual remembrance, equally with that recorded in
ancient history, wherein a certain king was
willing to suffer the loss of one eye when it
would save an eye of his son, who had been
condemned to lose both eyes for his crimes.
The fact to which we refer was this : A
party of the Sissetoan Dakotahs, near Council Bluffs, in Missouri, had killed two United
States soldiers. The United Slates authorities notified the tribe that they would have
no intercourse with them until the murderers
were given up. Deprived of blankets, powder and shot, the tribe held a council at Big
Stone Lake, and the case was laid before the
tribe by a man by the name of Colin Campbell. So strong an appeal wns made to these
Red Men of the forest, that one Mahyah
Khotah and another Indian came forward
and acknowledged themselves as the murderers, and expressed their willingness to deliver themselves up to be punished by the
United States Government. At this solemn
moment the aged father of the latter voluntarily stepped forth and offered to go and
suffer punishment in his son's place. The
substitute was accepted on the part of the
tribe, in council assembled. On the following day Mahyah Khotah and the old man
bade adieu to their home and started for
Fort Snelling. "On the 12th of November,
1820," says the historian Neill, " when about
a mile distant, the party halted, smoked, and
the death dirge was chanted. Blackening
their faces, and gashing their arms, as a
token of grief, they formed a procession, nnd
inarched to the centre of the soldiers' parade
c-round. First came n Sissetoan, bearing
the British flag, and then one of the murderers and the aged chief, who had become an
atonement for his only son. Their arms
were secured by ropes of Buffalo hair, and
large splinters of oak *were thrust through
their flesh above the elbows to indicate their
contempt of death. As they approached
singing dcatli-songs, a company of soldiers
was drawn up, and Colonel Snelling came
out to meet them. A fire was then kindled
and the British flag was burned, after which
the medal of the murderer was given up, and
then both surrendered themselves. The old
chief was detained as hostage nnd the murderer sent to St. Louis for trial."
The result of the whole affair was that the
murderer was sent to St. Louis, and no witto

1 presume this is literally true of the vote
taken, and upon the greater part of the report there probably would have been no dissenting vote; bat there were some present
who dissented from the remarks of the report upon " education," and did not vote at
all; and some also who dissented were absent when the vote was taken.
This explanation is rendered necessary by
the publication of the names on the 10th

The
Russian
Nobleman and Bible.
In the year 1825, a rich young nobleman
, was suspected of havof Russia, Mr.
ing taken part in a conspiracy against the
life of the Emperor Nicholas. He was arrested and thrown into prison at St. Petersburg. Naturally of a quick and violent temper, the injustice done him aroused the deepest passions of his soul, and he spent that
first long December night swearing and
stamping on the ground, alternately cursing
the sovereign of his country who had ordered
his arrest, and the Sovereign of heaven who
had permitted it. Exhausted at last, he
threw himself on his bed of straw, and remained there for hours in mournful silence.
Thus eight wretched days .passed away.
On the evening of the ninth a venerable
clergyman came to pray with and for hini,
and to entreat him to accept the invitation
of the Saviour, who says, " Come unto me,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1
will give you rest.''— Mat. 11:26. The only
answer was a scornful laugh. On leaving,
however, the old man c;aveiiini a Bible, begging him to read it. But as soon as the door
was closed, Mr. W
kicked it into a corner, exclaiming, " I want nothing to do with
the word of a God who permits injustice;"
and there the sacred book was left for days
unnoticed. But time hung heavily ; hours
seemed days and days months. To relieve
his utter weariness, lie took up the Bible and
opened it. The first verse that caught his
eye impressed him deeply : " Call upon me
in the day of trouble I will deliver thee, and
thou shaft glorify me."—I'sa. 50:15. Hut
he shut the book immediately, as if ashamed
to have been affected by reading anything in
a Bible. The next day he opened it again,
:
chapters, sometimes even lenrning them by
heart, and at last became so much interested
that he often waited impatiently for daylight,
to read and study his Bible.
It was not long before he began to know
something of the state of his own heart, and
to see that, like every human heart, it was
wicked."—Jcr. 17:9. He began
"to desperately
feel that in the sight of God he was a sinner, deserving eternal punishment. In his
distress, he fell upon his knees, crying out,
O Lord, save mc, or I perish. 0 Lord,
"wash
away my sins. Blot them out with the
precious blood of Christ. For Jesus' sake,
have mercy upon me, a miserable sinner."
His prayer was answered ; he felt thnt his
sins were pardoned; and now, instead of
complaining of the injustice of others, he was
mourning over his own sinfulness, and thinking of the love of Jesus. He asked to see
the old minister ; and the joy of the good
man may be imagined when, on entering tin;
cell, he found the once enraged prisoner sitting with a quiet, happy countenance, rejoicing in the hope that Christ hail now become
his Saviour and Friend. "At first," said
, "1 considered my imprisonment
Mr. W
a great misfortune; but now I see why I was
placed here, and I thank God for it. If 1 had
continued in my prosperity, I should perhaps
never have read this holy book which,by the
grace of God, has led mc to Jesus."
tranquilly
From that time Mr. W
awaited his trial, and soon the sentence of
death was pronounced upon him. He listened to the verdict with calmness, asking
only permission to write to his aunt and sis-
The request was granted, and he sent
them the following letter
" You have learned from the papers that
I am sentenced to be hung on the 15th of
next February. Do not weep, hut rejoice,
for by the grace of God 1 am not afraid to
die. I know whom 1 have believed.' The
ter.
:
'
best moment of a Christian's life is his last,
for then he is nearest heaven. Death to him
is only passing from a world of sin and suffering to heaven, where the redeemed of the
Lord will be hnppy for ever. There I will
wait for you, in that blessed land where there
will be no more prisons, no more sorrow, no
more sin. I wish I could see you once more
on this side of the grave but as I cannot, I
cheerfully submit. My tears are falling while
I write, yet 1 am happy and full of peace,
thinking of the blessedness promised to all
who believe in Christ. This happiness will
be mine already when these lines reach you.
May the Almighty God, whose presence 1
now enjoy so fully in my.cell, nnd who has
made me free in the midst of my chains,
comfort you and be with you both unto the
end."
The writer of this account was in Russia
at the time these events occurred, visiting
, aware
this aunt and sister; and Mr. W
of the fact, added these few words to her,
which may perhaps encourage those who are
trying to save souls, but do not always see
immediate results " My dear friend, you
remember when you were last at my aunt's
house you spoke to me more than once about
the salvation of my soul; but \ was young
and careless, and did not listen to you. But

By his mercy I have been brought
believe in him. My sins, though numberless, have, I trust, been blotted out by his
most precious blood, and soon 1 expect to be
in his presence lor ever. Comfort thoso
whom I love. Tell tjicm it matters little
when or how we die, whether on the gallows
or in n prison, in a garret or a pnlace; tho
all-important thing is, to be sure of heaven
by ' looking unto Jesus.' "
On the fatal day, the principal rooms in
\s aunt
the splendid mansion of Mr. W
were draped in mourning, nnd we were all
bowed down with grief; yet while we wept
wo prayed and praised God, and he comforted us.
When the faithful minister left him upon
the evening previous to the appointed day,
fell upon his knees, and in earnMr. W
est prayer committed his soul to Christ, ami
then for a few hours quietly slept. Before
the dawn of day he was aroused by voices in
the passage and steps evidently approaching
his cell. " They come early to take me to
the gallows," he thought, and though prepared to die, his heart beat faster. The door
of the cell was thrown back, and a tall, noble
form entered, which he instantly recognized
as that of the Emperor. A man had just
been arrested, charged with a share in the
conspiracy, and upon his person was found a
letter which said, " We have done all we
, but in vain; he decould to enroll W
clares he will remain true to his sovereign
until death." The paper was immediately
handed to Nicholas, and he had come himself to release him. "A few hours more,"
said the Emperor, " and 1 should have lost
in you one of my best ollicers. Forgive my
unconscious error, and accept from me, in
remembrance of this day, the rank of genheart.

I hope you may live to enjoy many happy
years."
Mr. W
journeyed as rapidly as possifound
us all sitting in a room which was hung with
deep folds of crape. When he began to
speak, and tell us of the mercy of God to
him, tears of joy and thankfulness ran down
our cheeks. As he finished his account, he
added, " We have prayed to God in our distress, let us now bless him for his goodness ;
especially let us thank him for having given
ble to the
house of his aunt, where he
us his only begotten Son to be our Saviour,
our Intercessor, our near Friend and Comforter in trouble." And that prayer came
from full and grateful hearts.
lived the life
From that time Mr. W
of a truly Christian man. His chief delight
was to visit the poor and distressed, nnd
bring them the consolation lie had himself
lountl in the gospel. He built near his castle a large hospital and home for the sick and
friendless, and went from bed to bed and
room to room, speaking to all of the love of
Christ. His Bible, just as he had used it in
his cell, was placed in a rich, case and kept
in his parlor, that it might remind him how
Cod had rescued him not only from prison,
but from eternal death.
The joy nnd peace which Mr. W
found in his cell is offered to us all, wherever
we are and whatever our circumstances; but
we can only obtain it as he did, by studying and obeying the word of God." " If you
have neglected the Bible, or turned from it
in scorn as he did at first, seriously determine to be so unwise no longer. Your destiny for time and eternity depends upon how
you treat this book. It olfers you " eternal
life."—John 3 :16. You cannot afford to
neglect such an offer.

It wn" near the
of beautiful summer's day thut I took my hat to go abroad
and enjoy the benuties of the most lovely village in the Middle States. The pure air,
the declining sun, the rose and locust odors
that perfumed the gardens nnd streets, refreshed my spirits and delighted my heart,
after the toil and confinement of the day.
Going leisurely along, 1 approached a group
of boys, both large and small, in the middle
of the street, engaged in earnest conversation. Some Dade expressive gestures with
the hands; several were speaking at once;
others, all ears, were listening, or, all eyes,
were looking. Some were earnest, some
vexed, .some doubting. 1 cast my eyes over
their healthy, happy, bright, intelligent faces,
and thought how soon manhood would steal
over them, and they be called to stand where
their fathers stootl.
" Well, 1 think it's wrong ! " exclaimed
one.
" answered another, scornfully,
" Wrong1 !don't

" Some !of the group
laughed at this bold
and reckless speech. I looked at the speaker,
a blue-eyed, light-haired hoy, whose slender
frame and agile motions were full of grace.
He did not look as though he could utter and
act upon a sentiment like that. And, as 1
walked on, with no other thought to interest
me, the words of the boy were resolved in
my mind. Wrong 1 don't care for that!"
How little he realizes the sail and dreadful
and yet,
meaning of those words, thought
brief as they are, they comprehend all that
reckless hardihood of principle which desolates the worltl with crime ! 1 passed by his
father's house. Quietly and beautifully it
stood beneath the shadow of tall trees. It
seemed as if the refinement and elegance
which education, piety and wealth threw
around its interior, with the rural beauty and
deep quiet which surrounded it, made this
home a sanctuary where his rash anil unholy
expression could find no favor, however it
might astonish or delight his play-fellows.
Many years have parsed since then. I
often think of those village boys, antl, often
as opportunity occurs, impure with deep interest what nook they fill in the great World's
theatre. And 1 now know that two of that
group have finished their earthly career, and
gone into eternity. The first who died was
George. All men spoke well of him. * '
A licautiful brig ol the United States navy
was steadily making her way over tho broad
Atlantic, on the last «i( the year (18412.)
With her white sails all unfurled, she bant
proudly to the breeze. Her tall masts, her
light spars, her linn rigging, hail outrode the
storms finely nnd gaily. She had finished
her mission to n distant land, and with fair
winds and clear skies, was rapidly Hearing
her distant port. What of her crew ? Did
her commander behold with gratification the
prompt execution of his orders? Were the
ollicers respected ? Were the sailors ready
und obedient? Did the ward-rooms, the

decks, the forecastle witness cheerful alacrity
and faithfulness in the discharge of duty?
Were all rejoicing to return to parents, to
wives, and to little ones 'I No, within the
heart of that noble vessel rebellion was brewing, and dissatisfaction was heard in low
in titterings. A plot was formed ; sailor after
sailor was reduced from his allegiance, and
wus scaled with a fearful oath to conspire
against his fellows. In the deep midnight,
at a given signal, they wore to murder their
ollicers, and cast their dead bodies upon tho
waters. Masters of the brig, they were to
strike the (lug of their country, and hoist the
black colors of the pirate. Evurything was
ready ; the mutineers were on the eve of executing their daring purpose. God overruled tile (earful deed. The ringleaders were
secured and put in irons. The safety of the
vessel demanded immediate attention and
prompt action, —they were doomed to die!
to die soon,—to die quick. "One hour!"
besought an unfortunate youth. An hour
passed. All hands were called on deck ; officers were armed with cutlass and pistol,
the watch was prepared,—the signal given,—
the cannon rolled, —the bodies of three were
hanging on the yard-arm ! The brig was
safe.
The bold lender of that reckless band was
one of that group of playful boys. Were
not his career and death a terrible fulfillment
of his terrible words, " Wrong ! I don't care
for that! "

directors in tlsvtr next ■euorsJ leittr, advised him to return in
Honolulu, wlit re he could have the benetlU or the Queen'slioapilal. Dr. Gulick wont ut this lime as dklegate, aud was tho
bearer of this letter. In their general meeting-, themissionaries
approved of Kapohaku's r< turning with Dr. Gulick on board tit'
the Murnimj Star. Dr. Gulick In his report says
" This blind missionary ot yours If a rare man —not indeed

lam bim its rcfh-cling the image of llim, who, I hope, is also
my 1/ord and my God. His enthusiasm in his Master's (muse is

the Hoard of Directors ttiat he iv.urn
be expressed a readiness to tin so, but with the wish to again he
a missionary, should Ins eyesight return."
While at the Queen's Hospital his sight was so much improved that h'< could walk the street! without a guide, and
could distinguish persons and oHjootS "ear at hnnd, but he whs
never able ngain to see so as to read and write. Aided snd
accompanied by MM of his friends, he made a tour of the Hawaiian Islands, interesting the people very much in his description of the character and condition of the i»or heathen.
While at Lihue, on Kauai, the people there, together with the
(lovernor of Lhat island, earnestly requested him to stop with
them and become their minister. He remained there for mo it:
than a .year, and then returned to Honolulu and labored as an
assistant preucher with Key. I*. Smith, his former pastor. KapohakuV preaching was so acceptable slid satisfactory to the
pastor, church aud congregation at Kaumaknpili, lhat in 18li»j,
when Key. I. Smith Imd leave of absence for a year to visit his
native bind, he cheerfully cmplicd with the request of the
church that Kupohaku be their preaclnr during his absence.
On the return of the pastor in June, 18GC. Kapohaku was requested to continue bts tabors, and alternate with the pastor in
preaching on the Snbhath, and to aid also in conducting meetings during the week.
1h April. IW7. the districts of Moanaluaand Kalihl were set
off and organised into at- independent church. A large majority of the church metril-ers in these two districts immediately
niade a call lo t, Kapohaku to become their ministerand pastor, offering him a salary of $150 a year. As a licensed preacher
he labored faithfully and succcsslully among Ihem till the day
of his death.
On three different occasions duihig his missionary and ministerial life, Paulo Kapohaku very narrowly escajied death. I.
When his house was set on fire at Heteani,he was asleep and
alone, and barely escaped the devourine Monies. 2. In August,
IS6B, when bis bouse wns fired at Kalilu, he was alone and
