The following extract of a letter lately

Through the liberality of some of the
citizens of Honolulu, the Beading Boom at
the Sailors' Home, has recently undergone
a compline change; it lias been papered,
neatly grained, and nicely furnished; the
tables are well stocked with magazines, local
and foreign paper. the library also is to be
enriched with many new books, and altogether the room is made quite attractive.
The credit of this good work is mainly due
to the Young Men's Christian Association of
this city, who have taken charge of the room
for 12 months ; it is now open from 9 a. m.
to 10 p. m„ free to all. Officers and seamen
of vessels are especially invited to the room,
where they will find comfortable quarters;
and will as usual lie supplied with paper,
pen and ink free, and every facility given
for writing home to their friends.

VISIT TO MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN.

During the last three days, ending tins

days at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On Friday
morning, May 11th, we left Minneapolis.
Passing rapidly through the southern part
of the State of Minnesota and the northern
put of lowa, we crossed the Mississippi at
Prairie dv Chien, and taking a sleeping car,
we found ourselves in the morning on the

of Lake Michigan, 85 miles north of Chi-

In the rear of the city our attention was
called to a large circular building now employed for an extensive ice house. The ice
is supplied from water raised by an artesian
well. This well was sunk about 700 feet in
order to obtain u supply of petroleum, but instead thereof a fountain of pure water teat
struck, which has not ceased to flow. The
ice is the product of this well. Perhaps ice
may prove as profitable as coal oil.

From the several speakers we gathered
the inference that there is a strong desire on
the part of the Evangelical portion of the
Episcopal Church, first, to revise the PrayerBook, and so change the phraseology of the
baptismal service, as not to convey the idea
that the child itregenerated nam the baptismal water is applied. Secondly,Vi recognize the clergy of other denominations as

One earnest speaker remarked that he
should be ashamed to enter heaven and be
welcomed by a Christian minister and gentleman there, while he could not maintain
fraternal relationship with such Christian
gentleman on earth, for he doubted not the
ministers of other denominations were as
truly Christian gentlemen us those of the
Episcopal Church. As the Scottish " country parson " once said, a good deal depends

WEEK OF TIIAVKI..

One week ago to-day, June 23d, we attended the Episcopal Evangelical Convention at Chicago, and then hurried away by
the night train to Springfield, Illinois, the
late home of President Lincoln, and also the
place where his mortal remains now lie entombed in Oak Ridge Cemetery. We were
allowed only one day there, and taking the
next night train, we were whirled along over
the brood prairies of Illinois and Indiana to
Columbus, Ohio, a distance of over four hundred miles, in twenty-one hours. After
spending a few hours in the city of the Buckeye State, we were delighted to retire to the
peaceful city of Delaware the teat of learning, and the site of the "Ohio Wesleyan
University," and also of a flourishing female
seminary. After spending a quiet and peaceful Sabbath among choice friends, we hurried away on Monday by a night train to
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and find ourselves
enjoying a tlay of rest in the charming borough of Swissvale, about eight miles away
from the grim and smoky city of Pittsburg,
where iron is king, coal is queen, and coal
oil is prime' minister. We rejoice in a day
of rest nfter such a week of travel and hurry,
fur it alfnrJs us an opportunity to recall and
record some of the scenes of interest and
pleasure through which we have passed. By

THE FRIEND, 0C I
Fulton Street Noun Prayer-Meeting.

This meeting commenced in 1857, and
has been continued until the present time.
Muring our brief sojourn of two days in the
city <d New York on our journey across the
..intinetit to New England, we yet found
tune, June 30th, to attend one of the noon
day prayer-meetings at Fulton street. The
impression left upon the mind corresponds to
the oft-written descriptions which we have
road in the religious newspapers respecting
those meetings. It is a most solemn and
earnest appeal to the busy and worldly multitude, to turn aside from the noisy and
thronging streets fin the purpose of spending
a brief hour in prayer to Cod. It requires
no stretch of the imagination to fancy HV.idom standing in the street, and calling to
the passing throng, as represented by Solomon, in the eighth of the Book of Proverbs:
"Doth not wisdom cry. and understanding put forth her voice. She standeth in
the lop of high places, by the way in the
places of the paths ; she crieth at the gates,
at the entry of the city, at the coming in at
the doors ; Huto you, O men, I call ; and my
voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom, and ye fools, be ye of an
understanding heart," &c.
'he following vivid description of the
ton Street Prayer Meeting, was written

I

the New York hedgvr, by Fanny Fern.
> not in the exact style of the religious
'spapers, yet the outlines of the picture
so clearly drawn, that we think our
lers will be interested and profited by its
isal:
THE rOLTOH STRKET I'RAYKR MEETING.

People who visit a great city, and explore
it with a curious eye, generally overlook the
moat remarkable tilings in it. They "do it
up" in Guide-Book fashion, going the
stereotyped rounds of custom-ridden predecessors.

The "Fulton street daily prayer meeting"
—did you ever go to it? It is one of the
most wonderful sights in New York. In the
busiest hour of the day, in its busiest business street, noisy with machinery of all
kinds, even the earth under your feet sending out puffs of steam at every other step, to
remind you of its underground labor, is a
little plain room, with a reading-desk and a
few beaches, with hymn-books scattered
about. Take a sent,and watch the worshipers as they reflect. Mi n, with only a sprinkling of bonnets hi re and there. Business

with bad ; porters, hand-c.artuieu, policemen,

For one hour they want to ignore, and
set out of ihat maelstrotn-whirl, into a
spiritual atmosphere. They feel that they
have souls as well as bodies to care for, and
they don't want to forget it. How lonely

not what they assemble to discuss. But has
that man a balden, a grief or a sorrow,
which is intensified tenfold by want of sympathy? Nobody knows his name: nobody
is curious to know. He has sent a little slip

of paper up to (he desk, and he wants them
ail to pity and pray for him. It may be the
man on this seat, or that yonder—nobody
knows. Yes—"/»/■<///" for him. Perhaps
you ore smiling. You "don't lielieve in
prayer." Oh, wait till some strand of earthly
hope is parting, before you are quite sure of
that. Was there ever an hour of peril or
human agony through which be or she who
"did not believe in prayer," was passing,
that the lips did not involuntarily frame
the short prayer, " Oh, God "
Well, they " pray " for him. He feels
stronger and better as be listens. He has

It warmed and gladdened my heart to see it.
And all the more, that at every step, on
leaving, I saw the " traps " of the Evil One,
sprung for that man's returning footsteps.

lungs, with a will and a spirit. Those old
"come-to-Jesus " hymns ! I tell you I long
for them sometimes with a homesick longing, like that of the exiled Swiss for his
favorite mountain song. You may pick up
the hymn-books containing them, and with
your critical forefinger point lo " hell " and
"an angry God," and all that. It makes no
difference to me. Don't I take pleasre inu

and your shoulders are not shaped to my

eye, when I'm heart-sore—don't you see ?
Oh ! I liked that meeting. I'm going
again. It was so homely, and hearty, and
Christian. One man said, " them souls."
Do yon think I flounced nut of the meeting
for that ? I liked it. One poor foreigner

him. So much the better. His stammering
tongue will he all right some day. 1 haven't
the least idea who all those people were,
tinging and praying there; but I never can
tell you how 1 liked it. That "Come to

haven't stopped hearing yet, though 1 have
slept on it once or twice. You may say
"priestcraft!" "early education!" and all
that. There are husks with the wheat, I

An

Exciting

Scene.

A temperance meeting some years ago was
church, wh<*r«
be held one evening In
the speakers were, as usual, lo be reformed
drunkards. An estimable woman, whom we
will call Alice, was induced to attend. When
the meeting was somewhat advanced, a late
member of Congress arose, with apparent
to

sadness and hesitation.
Though I had consented, at your urgent
solicitation, to address this assembly tonight," he said, " yet I have felt so greut u
reluctance in doing so. that it has been with
the utmost difficulty ilial I could drag myself
forward. As to relating my experience, thai
I do not think 1 can venture upon. The
past Ido not recall. I could wish that the
memory of ten years of my life were blotted
out." He paused a moment, much affected,
and then added in a final voice, " something
must be said of my own ease, or I fail t<>
make the impression on your minds that 1
wish to produce.
" Your speaker once stood among the respected members of the bar. Nay, mom than
that, he occupied a seat in Congress for two
Congressional periods. And more than that,"
he continued, his voice sinking into a tone
expressive of deep emotion, " he once had a
tenderly loved wife and two sweet children.
But all these honors, all these blessings, have
departed from him. He was unworthy to
retain them ; his constituents threw him off
because he had debased himself and disgraced them. And more than all. she who
had loved him devpledly, the mother of Ins
two babes, was forced to abandon him and
seek an asylum in her father's house. And
why? Could I become so changed in so
few short years T What power was there to
so debase me that my fellow-beings spurned,
and even the wife of my bosom turned away
heart-stricken from me '.' Alas, my friends,
it was a mad indulgence in intoxicating
drinks. But for this, I were an honorable
and useful representative in the halls of legislation, and blessed with home and wife and
children.
" But 1 have not told you all. After my
wife was separated from me, I sank rapidly.
A state of sobriely brought too many dreadful thoughts ; I drank more deeply, and was
rarely, if ever, free from bewildering effects
of partial intoxication. At last I became so
abandoned that my wife,urged by her friends,
no doubt, filed an application for a divorce,
and as cause could be readily shown why it
should be granted, a separation was legally
declared ; and to complete my disgrace, at
the Congressional canvass I was left off the
ticket, as unfit to represent the district.
" When I heard of this new movement, tie
great temperance cause, at first I sneered,
then wondered, listened at last, and at last
threw myself on the great wave that was
rolling onward, in hope of being carried far
out of the reach of danger. I did not hop.

THE

good resolution, restored me to much that I
have lost; but not all—not the richest treasure, lhat I have proved myself unworthy to
retain—not my wife nnd children. Between
myself and these the law had laid its stern,
impassable interdictions, I have no longer
a wife, no longer children, though my heart
goes toward these "loved ones with the tenderesl yearnings. Pictures of our curly days
of wedded love are ever lingering in my
Imagination. I dream of the sweet fire-side
circle, I see ever before me the placid face of
my Alice, as her eyes looked into mine with
intelligent confidence ; the music of her voice
is ever sounding in my ears."
Here the speuker's emotion overcame him;
his utterance became choked, and he stood
silent, with bowed head and trembling limbs.
The dense mass of people Were hushed into
an oppressive stillness, that was broken here
and there by half-stilled sobs.
At this moment there was a movement in
the crowd. A single female figure, before
whom every one appeared instinctively to
give way, was seen passing up the aisle.
This was not observed l>v the speaker until
she had come nearly in front of the platform
on which he stood. Then the movement
caught his ear, his eyes that instant fell on
Alice, who, by the kindness of those near
her, was conducted to his side. The whole
audience, thrilled with the scene, were upon
their feet, bending forward, when the speaker
extended his arms, ami Alice threw herself
upon his bosom.
An aged minister then came forward and
gently separated them. " No. no," said the
reformed Congressman, " you cannot take
her away from me."
Heaven forbid that 1 should," said the
minister; " but by your own confession she
is not your wife."
" No, she is not," returned the speaker,

"

mournfully.
" But is ready to take her vows again,"
modestly said Alice, in a low tone, smiling

through her tears.
Before that large assembly, all standing,
and with few dry eyes, the marriugc ceremony was again performed, that gave the
speaker and Alice to each other. As the
minister, an aged mini, with thin white
locks, completed the marriage rite, ho laid
Ins hands upon the heads of the two he had
joined in the holy bonds, and lifting up his
streaming eyes, said m a solemn voice,

" What God hath joined together, let

not

rum put asunder."
"Amen ! " was cried by the whole assembly, as with a single voice.— Old Oaken

Bucket.

"Son, Remember

!"

There was a cry of anguish from the
abyss, an imploring entreaty for the smallest
gift that poverty could ask or wealth refuse.
But the only boon heavenly pity could bestow was the memory of the past. " Son,

remember.''
Remember! No hope ? No future? Must
all <he treasures of my immortality cluster
around the -few years I spent on earth ?
Remember! What must I remember ?
I remember my early home, with its
happy hours nnd its pleasant duties—my
merry, thoughtless childhood.

ful lessons of my patient teachers, the warnings I cast aside so lightly, the invitations
that fell unheeded, those stirring hymns.
which I sang so earnestly, which I almost
believed I should chant in heaven. I shall
never sing again. How terrible a contrast
docs the remembrance of that almost celes-

tial music make with the horrid sounds that
encircle me now.
I remember the Hihl<, my Bibb:. Ah, it
was a gift, that beautiful Bible, from one
who loved its sacred pages. How often ditl
the dust gather upon its lids. How dull a
hook it seemed to me then. A letter fioni
Rich promises demy Maker neglected
spised, threatenings 1 would not believe.
Many a verse graven on my memory, but
not one upon my heart. No Bible here;
not one promise, not one line. No need of
evidences, for there are here no unbelievers
in its truth.
[ remember my mother. What a crowd
of associations cluster thick and fast as nieinorv recalls my sainted mother. Her counsel,
her loving words of entreaty, her affection,
her prayers. How she talked to me of the
heaven she wished me to share with her.
She is there now, but she has forgotten
I feel that she cannot think of me, for there
are no tears there ; and if she could remember me, her mother's heart would throb with
sorrow, and would she not weep ? How
would one tear of sympathy, falling even
from that dizzy height, cool my burning
brow. I shall never see her again, never
hear her gentle voice, never feel her warm
kiss, or press her soft hand. There is a great
gulf fixed. All I can ever know of my tender mother is the memory.
I remember my mother's grace. There
all the fountains of my nature were broken
up. The tears that fell seemed to purify. I
was never so near the gate of heaven. There
seemed but one more step. I resolved then,
as I looked for the last time in her face, that
I would take that step, liecome a Christian,
and join her above. But 1 did not begin at
Once. I did not ask God to help me to
commence from that hour to serve him, and
so for me my mother died in vain.
1 retnembar the Sabbatles that came so
often, the church-liells sounding so sweetly
on the quiet air, the gathering worshipers,
the earnest prayer, the message from Cod.
I was seldom absent; neither did the sermons
fall on inattentive ears, for I was a critic.
Nothing but the highest order of eloquence
satisfied my fastidious taste. There ministers of Christ pleaded with me. The sacred
blood ol the Saviour was seared out belore
mv eyes. The crass was held up from
Sabbath to Sabbath, and from year to year.
Again and again the Holy Spirit moved over
the ]n-ople, and 1 was almost persuaded to
be a Christian, but not just then. That
Sabbath-bell is hushed. The voice of the
preacher is chanting high praises in the
upper sanctuary. I shall never hear them
again. I can only rimiiidnr them in my

from his gentle entreaties, and now they
have ceased for ever.
I think now of the wealth Cod gave me,
which I s)H'iit in my own ease and selfish
indulgence, and which 1 did not dispense as
his steward ; the business, so engrossing that
il left no time for stayer J the terrible warnings I received, which only arrested me for
a moment.
How patient Got! was with mr.
How long-siiflcriiig the Saviour. Each day
brought its blessinga uncounted and unacknowledged, each night its solemn reminder
of death, but nil in vain. A thousand gentle
persuasions of the Spirit, which in the whirl
of pleasure fell unheeded, recur to mc now,
A thousand secret monitions neglected come
thronging on my memory, and every lime I
remember them my infatuation and my folly
seem more inexcusable.
These remembrance! madden me, vet I
can not forget. J'.ver as the endless coil tit
eternity tightens around me, is graven deeper
and deeper on my soul the memory of the
blessings 1 enjoyed and wasted, of the privileges and opportunities gone beyond recall.
In the hush of terrestrial night the stars
looketl down upon me, and taught me God's
wisdom ami omnipotence.
Not one star
shines here. The sunlight was a glorious
gift. But of all the myriad rays which
flood the immensity of space, not one is
ever commissioned to pierce this blackness
of darkness,
1 recall many a scene of loveliness. The
spring-time with its fairy blossoms, the green
valley, the brook, the meadow, and the blue
mountain ; the birds tilling the air with their
melody, and the busy street with its active,
restless throng, Oh earth, even earth,
though scathed by sin and blighted then,
seems a very paradise to me now. It is
circling with obedient course in its orbit,
fairer and lovelier than ever in its restored
glories; but on its varied beauty I shall
never look again. I can only remember it
as my first home, my only borne.
This ia
not home.
The bitterest drop jn my cup of gall, in
the thought that there was a home of inefliible peace offered nn: which I shall never
enter, a harp tuned for me whose chorda I
shall never sweep, and a crown of immortal
life set before me which I shall never wear.
Blessed JeStM, I thank thee that I am still
in the land of hope; that there is g, t no

Her

desire was

strong, as expressed to the

captain in her last days, that her sou should
be educated in the principles of Christianity,
and become a sincere and humble fellow of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
One could not look upon that precious
ancient portion of the Bible, without vividly
recalling the New Testament account of the
conversion of the Treasurer of Candtice,
Queen of Ethiopia, as given us in Acts viii.
1,6-40. Can there be anything more interesting in the whole history of the Church of
Christ than that short noordt And whilst
it is not permitted us, in point of fact, to
follow the treasurer after his return to the
queen's court, we may assuredly believe
that he would not be a silent witness for his
Lord there : and who can tell but that the
conversion of this one Abyssinian princess—
(and sther instances doubtless there are)
may be results of the grace of the Gospel in
the heart of the Ethiopian treasurer.
May we trust God for everything. IT.
changes not, and may we often remember
in prayer this interesting orphan Akmutyu,
a8 well as his benighted countrymen.
