RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 38
Autumn Days

No. 3.
Amsterdam, the capital of Holland,'that
quaint old Dutch city on the V, is, as every
one will say, highly interesting, even when
the clouds of damp grey mist float in from
the Zuidersee, so potent is the charm of
history and art. But those who were so
happy as to visit this city in the early days
of last September will, I am convinced,
agree with me in saying that it was absolutely and entirely delightful. This was in
part, perhaps, owing to the weather, and this
was perfect. The days were rich in golden,
mellow autumn sunshine, and the nights
crowned with silver moonlight, which seemed to rest like a blessing on tbe shadowy
old towers, the slumbertng trees and thousand winding canals of the city. I pay with
pleasure this tribute to the exceeding loveliness of these rare days; and now we enter
the city, where I fancy we shall find a more
kindly welcome, in our garb of peaceful
travelers, than had we come a few centuries ago with the clanking armor, the heavy
helmets and cruel swords of Spanish soldiers. What stormy times peaceful old
Amsterdam saw in its younger days !

The whole city (imagine it) is built on piles,

What a race of beavers
they are, these sturdy, patient Dutch ! It
would seem as if this earth of ours, with all
its firm land, might have sufficed without
this invasion upon the domain of the sea.
Think of all the glorious stretches of plain
and prairie there are left untitled and uninhabited, and then of this marshy Dutch
coast, where land has been made in the
midst of the wares and stately cities have
arisen. Surely that old Adamic curse of
work, which has ended in being a blessing,
has been fulfilled here a thousand-fold,

THE FRIEND, MARCH,
but not the place of royal residence, as the
King prefers the Hague. The city is intersected by innumerable canals, crossed by
hundreds of bridges. All this, with tire
quaint architecture*of the houses, tends to
produce a most picturesque effect. The
harbor is a forest of masts. Ships of all
sizes, and steamers little and great, under
the flags of all nations, make rendezvous
here. The wharves are a Babel of languages
and accents. Occident and Orient seem
here to meet, and the wealth of the Indies
is disclosed under this grey Northern sky.
There are odors of the East, a perfume of
spices, mingling with others less aromatic
and poetic. The colonial possessions of
Holland are so extensive and important that
the intercourse between them and the mother
country is naturally on a very large scale.
There is a remarkable staidness and solidity
about the city, which I find in no way at
variance with its picturesqueness. Here
one sees most evident traces of the proverbial
Dutch cleanliness. The exterior as well as
the internsVeems to be cleaned and scoured.
1 was especially struck by a very clever arrangement which facilitated this. This was
a species of pump, placed in a tub or bucket
of water, with which the servant standing in
the street could send a copious shower on to
the windows and house, which seemed in a
droll way of its own used to this perpetual
ablution. Houses as well as people grow to
be amphibious here! There is an especial
charm in an early morning walk through the
streets of Amsterdam. The life of the city
begins 'early and continues late. The
streets are sometimes the liveliest towards
midnight. This is astonishing, after Germany. You see scarcely any long avenues
here. All the houses, or a very large majority, face the canals, from which they are
separated by broad streets or promenades.
In the qnieter portions of the city, where
the wealthy merchants live, the canals are
shaded by long and beautifully symmetrical
rows of elms and other trees, which with the
water sparkling in the sunlight, the noble
bridges, the stately and carefully kept
facades of the houses, make a most interesting, if quiet picture. Certainly a remarkable quiet reigns here in these early morning hours. There is a delicious drowsiness
in this calm retreat, broken only now and
than as some oar cuts the green waters of
the canal. A little farther on we should find
it more animated. What a bustle and stir
along the quays. How much wealth goes in
and out of these lofty, narrow stores and
business houses, which run up, up towards
the blue sky, ending in some quaint device
at the top! They are grey with age ; some
of them have seen better days. Tbey have
been the palaces of stout and dignified
burger princes of long ago. Climb their
narrow winding stairways, dive into their
dusky, cobwebby" corners, and you would
find many a rare bit ot ancient glory—
sculptured marbles, richly carved woods and
faded tapestries. At every turn some strikingly interesting building faces you,—a
thousand historic memories fling their shadows upon your way and claim a bearing.

spot for a painter ! Quaint gabled houses ;
gipsy-like encampments of fruit-venders and
old clothes sellers in the midst of the streets;
lanes so narrow that those Jewish girls,
gossiping high up in the air, can almost
touch bands across ; groups of men, women
and children in " antique" garments, with
still a touch of Oriental brilliancy about
them'; and, above all, that indispensable
requisite of artistic confusion—dirt! I have

especially worthy of note. I regretted that
my limited time did not permit of my inquiring more definitely into the workings of
the Maatschappig tot Nut van't Algemeen, or Association for the furtherance of
the general good, which has its principal
bureau in Amsterdam. It was founded by
a Baptist minister in 1784, and its good
workings is felt through all Holland. Its
objects are, the raising of the standard of
popular education, the circulation of good
literature, the diffusing of knowledge generally, the promotion of good morals, the support of widows and orphans, and others

equally praiseworthy. The Seamen's Home
is a fine building, erected 1856. I spent
one evening in the brilliantly lighted Zoological Garden (one of the finest and best
arranged in Europe), where hundreds of the
good people of Amsterdam were gathered for
a concert. The friendly and family groups
under the arching trees made a charming
picture. Here I noticed that nearly every
one had tea, instead of beer, as in Germany.
1 shall always remember with pleasure my
walk home on the same evening along the
ship-crowded wharves. It was so still and
peaceful and the air so balmy that I half
fancied myself again in the tropics. The
moon shone in all its beauty, and the river
Ij, the arrowy masts of a thousand ships,
the winding canals, the fantastic bouses, the
grey towers, seemed transfigured in the silvery light.
REMBRANDT AND THE PICTURE GALLERIES OF
AMSTERDAM.
It were wiser for me, in these brief and
hastily written sketches, to avoid altogether
mentioning the subject of Dutch and Flemish art; the field is too great, too important,
in a certain sense too sacred, to be touched
upon lightly and superficially. And yet I
can scarcely walk with you through the
streets of Amsterdam without for a moment
speaking of Rembrandt, whose home was
here. At least one-half your time in visiting
the Netherlands will, I am sure, be spent in
the Picture Galleries ; they are the rightlul
glory of these little countries. To study
Dutch and Flemish art, one must come here
to the fountain-head. You may see scattered pictures of Dutch and Flemish artists
all over Europe, but it strikes me that here
alone you can rightly understand them.
You walk the streets they walked, look upon
the same faces which you see painted in
their pictures —enter, as it were, into their
very life. I can scarcely compel my pen to
19

stay within its prescribed limits. The very
mention of this subject seems like the opening of the floodgates, and the great waves
of joyous memories, of the hours and days I
spent in the compauy of Rembrandt, of
Rubens, of Potter, Franz Hals and the other
masters, rush in upon me, almost overwhelmingly. I would wish to avoid anything that might seem like sentimental
exaggeration, but I can truly say that as I
have come forth from some of these worldfamous galleries, I have with difficulty re-
frained from shouting from very joy, and
though months have now crept in between
those days and these, I feel that the inspiration and delight they were to me then
grows, like wine, stronger and sweeter with
time.
Amsterdam, as I was saying, was the
home of Rembrandt, one of the greatest
artists the world has ever known, —the
Shakspeare of painting, as Tame so rightly
calls him. He was born in Leiden about
1607, and died in Amsterdam, where he
spent the most important portion of his life,
in 1667. Everyone is familiar with his
peculiar style of painting, the contrasts of
light aod shadow, the illumination of one
particular point in a painting. You will
pardon me for giving one or two words from
Taine's suggestive pages on this artist.
They are themselves so exquisitely beautiful that they have run in my mind for days,
like music :
" Ho rendered this atmosphere palpable and
revealed to us its mysterious and thronging
population ; he impregnated it with the light of
his own country—a feeble yellow illumination
like that of a lamp in a cellar; he felt the
mournful struggle between it and shadow, the
weakness of vanishing rays dying away in gloom,
the treoMouaness ofreflections vainly clinging
to gleaming walls, the sum of that vague multitude of half darks which, invisible to ordinary
it not for the near presence of amber and
brown and dusky black shadows of unfathomable depth. It is this element of
mystery which he holds over you like a
mugician. But his power lies, most of all,
in his nearness to nature and humanity.
His paintings are, as it were, animated by
some impassioned soul! With Rembrandt's
name begins a long list of artist names which
have a world-wide celebrity. I may perhaps recall a few by name—more is here
impossible: Ruisdael, Ter Burg, Paul
Potter, Gerard Dow, Jaa Steen, Teniers,
Van der Heist. Amsterdam, with its numerous galleries, easy of access, furnishes for
the visitor, whether his Stay be long or
short, a rich and satisfying feast.
UTBECHT.
I went down by train one lovely moonlight evening to Utrecht, spent that night
there in a charming little Dutch inn, and
next day rambled about the old town. Old
indeed it is, for it is one of the old cities of
Holland, and that is saying much. In
Utrecht is a famous University,"numbering
something like 500 students. In Ecclesiastical history Utrecht has played an important role. To-day it is a charmingly fresh and
cleanly city, beautiful with blossoming gar-
dens and pleasant homes. 1 climbed up the
long winding stone stairways of the Cathedral tower, and when once at the summit
felt loath indeed to leave. The view is extensive, commanding almost all of Holland
and other provinces over the border. The
verdant landscape lay bathed in a delicious
wealth of golden autumn sunshine, varied
by beautiful groves of trees, through which
the red-tiled roofs of villages and country
homes gleamed in the noon-sunlight, intersected at every turn by winding canals and
silver streams. The suburbs of the city are
wonderfully charming. 1 rode several miles
gaze, seetn in his paintings and etchings to form into the country, nnd it seemed as if the ena submarine world, dimly visible through an tire way was bordered by stately avenues of
abysa of waters. On emerging Irom this obscurlawns, and the

shower ; he felt, as it were, flashes of lightning, comfortable often luxurious mansions and
or some magical effulgence, or as myriads of villas of wealthy merchants.
beaming darts."
The finest collection of pictures in Holland is in Amsterdam, and the finest picture
of the collection is the " Night Watch" of
Rembrandt. It represents one of the ancient guilds of Amsterdam, and depicts its
members in holiday attire, and is one of the
most superb pieces of artistic coloring in
the world. The figures, life size, seem
fairly stepping out of the canvas to greet
you. The effects of light and shadow are
marvelous. In the Royal Gallery at the
Hague is a striking painting by Rembrandt,
strangely, painfully fascinating. It presents
to us a famous anatomist of that day, surrounded by an eager group of listeners,
before whom is placed a corpse, explaining
the wondrous mechanism of the human
body. Neat this is an exquisite picture, a

flood of golden light. But I must not allow
myself to specify. I know of no painter
who has so strangely moved me as Rembrandt. There is something almost intoxicating in his marvelous coloring; you

ZAAMDAM AND PETER THE GREAT.
One could spend day after day making
excursions by steamer, by sail or foot from
Amsterdam out, and all of tbem pleasant
and interesting. There is Hoorn, Pumerende, and above all funny, neat little Brock,
which has the most evincible renown of being the cleanest place in t/ie world- Nearly all the inhabitants of this model little
nook are engaged in the making of " Edam"
cheese. The houses, most of them are picturesquely painted in white and green. Zaandam is an interesting town, only an hour or
two trom Amsterdam by boat. The view of
that city from the water in leaving was most
imposing. Everybody comes to Zaandam
to see the little log cabin where Peter the
Great lived for a number of months, when
he came to Holland to learn how the Dutch
made their ships, and worked (his rank unknown) as a common laborer, in the sweat
of his brow, on the wharves. The story is a
very fine and interesting one, and will amply repay any one who looks it up in Russian History. One of the late Queens of
Holland, a Russian Princess, bought ihe little hut and had a larger building constructed
over it, in order to protect!, from the weath-

rooms, one containing a huge fire place, the
other being the bedroom of the Czar of all
the Russias. It is visited by thousands of
people. I chanced to be in Zaandam quite
at tbe right time. It was '• Kirmess "or the
Autumn Fair. The streets were alive with
country people and filled with gayly ornamented booths, and all manner of
" shows
"
All this gay color and life was a very pleasant
addition to the picturesque town.
BY
WATER TO ALKMAAR.
My longing to see in reality, in all its
poetic charm here in Holland, what I had so
often seen in the paintings of Dutch landscapes was fullyagratified one rare afternoon
and evening between Zaandam and Alkmaar. It seemed as I stood on the deck of
the steamer as if one lovely and characteristic picture after another whs unfolded before
me. Our way lay partly on by river, partly
by broad canals. Now and then great boats
swung down the river, crowded with huge
tawny, brown sails, which rose in a stately
way against the fair and tenderly tinted sky
of the coming evening. Some of them
seemed to be the homes of entire families,
and in their way had a <;ozy, snug hole, at
least the parents nnd rosy checked children
seemed contented. Quite down to the waters edge came pretty Bnd trim little gardens, and hundreds of bouses, (all of them
wonderfully neat and orderly, and some
bearing over the gable or at the side some
pleasant and poetic name) brought the
people near to me. 1 en" homes "of thethe
family life—the gatherjoyed picturing
ings in the garden, the father with his evening pipe, the mothers and daughters at their
knitting, the boys engaged in their sports.
Far off the horizon appeared spires of village churches, stately manor, houses peeped
through the trees. Hundreds of windmills
to right, to left, of all sizes and ages, rose
like the trees of a forest along our way
This is the very Paradise of windmills.
Then came wile and glorious stretches of
meadow land, where wandered the famous
sleek and gentle-eyed cattle of Holland.
Here and there were scattered groups of laborers, though the twilight had already begun to gather, others were leisurely taking
their way homeward. The low lands were
covered with silvery, fleecy bands of floating
mist. The night air came in soft, cool
waves over the water against the pale, rosetinted sunset sky came a shadow, taking as
we drew nearer the forms of stately towers,
sending us messages of welcome from the
188 0.
of a shrewd obsaSrer in the Vice-ConsulGeneral of the United States at Melbourne.
In a recent report to the Department of State
at Washington, he comments on the peculiar
relation in which the colonies stand towards
the Union. They fight the Americans with
their own weapons—high duties and partiality to native industry. It may be advisable, therefore, thinks the Vice-ConsulGeneral, to come to terms with them. At
present they levy heavy taxes on all American produce—lumber, tobacco, tinned meats,
hardware, tools, etc. It would be an obvious
advantage to American manufacturers to
have these obstructive duties reduced, and
such a magnificent customer as Australia
might be beguiled into reciprocity. Australia has one staple export, her unrivalled
wool, which America is compelled to use
whether she will or not. It cannot be produced in the States, and native wool growers are not in the least benefited by the high
duty it has to pay. The Vice-ConsulGeneral proposes a bargain with Australia,
in which, for the sake of easy admission of
her wool into the States, she would favor
the consumption of American tinned meats,
tools and hardware at the Antipodes. Should
the Department of State take action on this
very plausible advice it will soon learn that
its Melbourne agent has sent it after a willo'-the-wisp. It is a fundamental condition
of self-government in every Australian
colony that no differential duties shall be
levied.

111 X FRIEND, MARCH.
22
We had the pleasure, by a recent
mail, to receive two neatly written letters,
one from a lady aged 86, nnd the other from
a lady aged 92 both written in a style of
penmanship which would make some young
ladies in their school days quite blush. One
resides in Massachusetts and tbe other in
Kansas, to which she had just removed from
lowa, a distance of 500 miles of land travel.
What seems quite noteworthy, both referred
to Hawaiians who visited America before
the arrival of the missionaries here in 1820.
Mrs. Nelson, widow of Dr. Nelson, late
pastor of the church in Leicester, thus writes
under date of Nov. 17 :
"I have ever felt n great interest in the
Sandwich islands, having known tbe first
missionaries who went from our country to
that place. That company collected and
dined in our village before they left Thomas
Hopu stood on the steps of a dwelling-house
surrounded by the missionary group and
many villagers, and offered a prayer ; so we
took leave of them. On the 15th of October
last I crossed the threshold of my ninetysecond birthday. Shadows have followed
the sunshine, but I have had more lights
than shadows in my pilgrimage. I have had
a pleasant journey. Though the billows
swell, we will trust the pilot that can carry
us safely to the desired shore—the haven of
rest."
Our other correspondent in Kansas, thus
writes :
" I have always kept the mission to the
Sandwich Islands in mind more than any
other, having had a niece there, and all the
circumstances of its first beginning being
fresh in mind. Henry Obookiah having
lived in my sister's family, and I occasionally visiting there, made lasting impressions."
[From the Literary World.)
1880.
before him, intending to read and make his
memoranda as he goes along; but hour after
hour slips by, and when the lamp is burning
low, and the fire is dying out, and the book
has been read from back to back, the critic
rouses himself to the discovery that he has
not made a single pencil-mark on the margin
or on the blank paper which he so conscientiously placed upon his desk. The fact is,
Miss Bird visited such extraordinary scenes,
and accomplished her travelling in such an
extraordinary fashion, especially for a lady,
that she almost takes our breath away, and
we simply read on and on the story which
she tells and the pen nnd ink pictures or
word paintings which she gives, with keenest
zest, and in the most uncritical fashion
possible.
Miss R ird certainly is not a lady to be
satisfied with a beat in a first-class carriage
or a Pullman's car. She did the greater
part of her journey in the Rocky Mountains
on horseback, sitting astride her saddle like
a man, wearing a dress (no doubt a graceful
one, although it got almost worn to pieces
before she had done with it) which she had
had made for her and had used in the
islands of the Pacific, and having no company but that of her horse and of such acquaintances, often of the wildest and rough
est kind, as chance and the exigencies of
travel compelled her to pick up. She found
her way in a truly marvelous manner across
vast and sometimes trackless wastes ; she
pressed on, now through blinding snow and
frozen rain which caused the blood to start
when it struck the face, and then through
blazing, torturing, sickening heat; she forded innumerable streams, lakes and rivers,
sometimes crossing over on ice and dropping
into tbe ice-cold water when half-way over,
and then having to ride on with benumbed
limbs throuch fierce cold and frost for hours
before she could find the rudest shelter or
the roughest food; she slept generally on
hay or straw, and was fortunate when she
could get the coarsest blankets, while the
wind drove freely through the open chinks
of the log hut in which she had found
refuge, and in the morning she had to sweep
the snow or mud from the floor before she
could complete her toilet; her food was
often not only of the plainest kind, but sometimes of the scantiest in quantity; once the
A Lady in the Rocky Mountains.*
Miss Isabella L. Bird is already known to
a considerable and appreciative public by her
•' Six Months in the Sandwich islands," a
book which abundantly testifies to her enthusiastic love of traveling adventure and
her very exceptional powers of vivacious
description. This volume about her " Life

Colorado of whom Bret Harte has given us
such vivid sketches, and whose reckless dissipation, extravagant eccentricities and
strange inconsistencies, in which a daredevil rascality is often blended with a certain simplicity and nobleness of nature,
make them seem, to stay-at-home readers,
like creatures of fiction rather than of real
life.
It is fair to mention, however, that, writing still of Colorado, Miss Bird goes on to
say : "There is a manifest indifference to
the higher obligations ofthe law,'judgment,
mercy and faith;' but in the main the
settlers are steady, there are few flagrant
breaches of morals, industry is the rule, life
and property are far safer than
and Scotland, and the law ot**universal
respect to women is still in full force."
On the last mentioned point Miss Bird's
testimony is repeated and emphatic, and
reflects much honor upon the population
through which she passed and amongst
whom she lived under such very singular
conditions, —traveling alone, without arms,
and altogether in a way which must have
struck even those most remote from the
ordinary currents of civilization as somewhat odd.
During all her strange adven-
tures and rencounters, she met, she tells us,
with " nothing but civility, both of manner
and of speech," except in a solitary instance,
which, however, was not a serious one. '• I
have seen," she writes in her last letter,
"a great deal of the roughest class of men,
both on sea and land, during the last two
years, and the more important 1 think the
mission' of every quiet, refined, self-respect'ing
woman, the more mistaken 1 think those
who would forfeit it by noisy self-assertion,
masculinity, or fastness. In all this wild
West ihe influence of woman is second only
in its benefits to the influence of religion,
and where the last unhappily does not exist, the first continually exerts its restraining
power."
Midnight Gathering at Tapiteuea.–
We have received a letter from the Key. E.
T. Doane, who sailed in the Morning Star.
It is dated July 9th, while the vessel was
cruising among the Gilbert Islands. He thus
writes : " It was pleasant to ' come to' under
the lee of the island. 1 took the Captain's
gig and pulled in with a native or two over
the covered flats, and reached the native
teacher's house—Moses. It was near midnight. Natives, as soon as they heard of
our arrival, spread the report and came rushing together, having put on their Christian
dresses—white shirts for the men and calico
dresses for the women. Each came bringing a cocoanut full of native molasses. A
beautiful incident was this, for somewhere
or somehow the Lord had touched their
hearts, and they were more willing to give
than receive. It was not long ere we had n
large company, all seated on mats and quite
decorous. Do you know bow wild these
Gilbert Islanders are ? But here, at midnight, we sang and prayed together. ' There
is a Happy Land ' was the melody we sung.
There, on ftbat wild sand-beach, there was
singing ana praying to a late hour."

The Y. M. C. A. Reading-room, on the
second floor of the Sailors' Home, opposite
the Post Office, is open every evening to
strangers and ail who wish to come.
In looking over a number of the
Chicago Y. M. C. A. Watchman, we see
notices of the Young Women's and the
Commercial Travelers' Christian Associations—something new to us. Verily we
are marching at quickstep.
The time seems to have come when
branch y. M. C. Associations on a small
scale could be started with advantage ut
points on the other islands—say Kohala and
Wailuku. The present influx of strangers
would give such Associations work to do,
and work done insures life to any society.
A small reading room could be started and a
committee appointed to visit the sick, if
nothing more. Our Y. M. C. A. has at
least a member in each of the above localities. Let them consider this suggestion.
Some thirty years ago, the pastor of
the Bethel, one Sabbath morning, while on
the way to the chapel, invited a young
whaleman he met on the street to attend
service with him. The boy did not attend,
but after thirty years, coming back here as
a lieutenant on an American ship of war,
called upon the pastor, and recalling the
long-forgotten circumstance, said that he
had come to apologize for not accepting his
invitation, which he had never forgotten,
and the refusal of which had caused him uneasiness sufficient to keep the otherwise
trivial occurrence fresh in his memory for
the past thirty years.
murder of Harris by Wil iams
during the past month adds still
further to the long list of evilsresulting from
strong drink. " Look not thou upon the
wine when it is red, when it giveth his
color in the cup. At the last it biteth like
a serpent and stingeth like an adder."
Many of humanity have fallen through wine
since these words were uttered, and many
more are yet to fall. It seems almost idle
to say to young men, beware ! Experience,
though black and bitter, seems the only
teacher that the majority will listen to, and
then because they cannot do otherwise.

The Library and Reading-Room Association.—After
the many degraded and degrading sights and sounds that one meets
with in parts of Honolulu of an evening, it
is a pleasant relief to step into the welllighted room of this Association, on the
second floor of Williams' brick building,
there to take a view of the other side of
the question. The Library, thanks to recent
donations, now numbers over 1,000 volumes.
Some fifty different periodicals and papers
are spread out on the different tables, and
the members number over two hundred. The
number of persons who step in to read during the evening averages between 10 and
15, while others take their reading matter

One member lately come among us
has said that he thought he would have retreated from this place long ago had it not
been for the Reading-room, and the general
sentiment is that it is a step in the right direction.
A Fair may be held some time during the
coming months for the benefit of this, the
public's adopted child, when all are expected
to do the fair thing. Any who are hindered
from doing their share in this manner might
help as much and more by a donation of
books to the Library.

To the Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu :
Dear Brethren 1 was very much interested in an account recently given me by a
seaman about the Sandwich Islands. He
gave me the name of Mr. Damon as the
missionary. Mr. Damon may or may not
remember him—William M. Taylor.
1
dropped a line to our city missionary, T. R.
Dennison, asking the full name of Mr.
Damon, and he called and gave me some
copies of The Friend, of which one page, I
observe, is conJucted by you. Now, I
should like very much to put The Friend
regularly upon our Association readingtable and to advertise it as one of the attractions to our rooms—a paper from the far-off
Sandwich Islands. 1 desire to keep my
membership posted on what is going on
abroad in our line.
:
Give my hearty God-speed to Mr. Damon
and accept it for yourselves.
Sincerely yours, W. P. Webster,

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD- No. 38
Autumn Days
in the Netherlandsand
Belglum–
No. 3.
Amsterdam, the capital of Holland,'that
quaint old Dutch city on the V, is, as every
one will say, highly interesting, even when
the clouds of damp grey mist float in from
the Zuidersee, so potent is the charm of
history and art. But those who were so
happy as to visit this city in the early days
of last September will, I am convinced,
agree with me in saying that it was absolutely and entirely delightful. This was in
part, perhaps, owing to the weather, and this
was perfect. The days were rich in golden,
mellow autumn sunshine, and the nights
crowned with silver moonlight, which seemed to rest like a blessing on tbe shadowy
old towers, the slumbertng trees and thousand winding canals of the city. I pay with
pleasure this tribute to the exceeding loveliness of these rare days; and now we enter
the city, where I fancy we shall find a more
kindly welcome, in our garb of peaceful
travelers, than had we come a few centuries ago with the clanking armor, the heavy
helmets and cruel swords of Spanish soldiers. What stormy times peaceful old
Amsterdam saw in its younger days !
Quaint old Erasmus of Rotterdam said
he knew a city whose inhabitants lived
of trees," meaning
"thelike cranes, on theoftops
Amsterdam ; and -his
good burgers
comparison was not so very bad after all.
The whole city (imagine it) is built on piles,
sunk in tbe mud of this most watery and
marshy region.
What a race of beavers
they are, these sturdy, patient Dutch ! It
would seem as if this earth of ours, with all
its firm land, might have sufficed without
this invasion upon the domain of the sea.
Think of all the glorious stretches of plain
and prairie there are left untitled and uninhabited, and then of this marshy Dutch
coast, where land has been made in the
midst of the wares and stately cities have
arisen. Surely that old Adamic curse of
work, which has ended in being a blessing,
has been fulfilled here a thousand-fold,
Amsterdam is one oi the roost interesting
cities it has been my good fortune to sea in
the old world. You know its long and important history, and that it is one of the
leading commercial cities of Europe to-day.

THE FRIEND, MARCH,
but not the place of royal residence, as the
King prefers the Hague. The city is intersected by innumerable canals, crossed by
hundreds of bridges. All this, with tire
quaint architecture*of the houses, tends to
produce a most picturesque effect. The
harbor is a forest of masts. Ships of all
sizes, and steamers little and great, under
the flags of all nations, make rendezvous
here. The wharves are a Babel of languages
and accents. Occident and Orient seem
here to meet, and the wealth of the Indies
is disclosed under this grey Northern sky.
There are odors of the East, a perfume of
spices, mingling with others less aromatic
and poetic. The colonial possessions of
Holland are so extensive and important that
the intercourse between them and the mother
country is naturally on a very large scale.
There is a remarkable staidness and solidity
about the city, which I find in no way at
variance with its picturesqueness. Here
one sees most evident traces of the proverbial
Dutch cleanliness. The exterior as well as
the internsVeems to be cleaned and scoured.
1 was especially struck by a very clever arrangement which facilitated this. This was
a species of pump, placed in a tub or bucket
of water, with which the servant standing in
the street could send a copious shower on to
the windows and house, which seemed in a
droll way of its own used to this perpetual
ablution. Houses as well as people grow to
be amphibious here! There is an especial
charm in an early morning walk through the
streets of Amsterdam. The life of the city
begins 'early and continues late. The
streets are sometimes the liveliest towards
midnight. This is astonishing, after Germany. You see scarcely any long avenues
here. All the houses, or a very large majority, face the canals, from which they are
separated by broad streets or promenades.
In the qnieter portions of the city, where
the wealthy merchants live, the canals are
shaded by long and beautifully symmetrical
rows of elms and other trees, which with the
water sparkling in the sunlight, the noble
bridges, the stately and carefully kept
facades of the houses, make a most interesting, if quiet picture. Certainly a remarkable quiet reigns here in these early morning hours. There is a delicious drowsiness
in this calm retreat, broken only now and

the blue sky, ending in some quaint device
at the top! They are grey with age ; some
of them have seen better days. Tbey have
been the palaces of stout and dignified
burger princes of long ago. Climb their
narrow winding stairways, dive into their

and children in " antique" garments, with
still a touch of Oriental brilliancy about
them'; and, above all, that indispensable
requisite of artistic confusion—dirt! I have

live for a long time with interest. There

and artuyc past, but also in its active living

especially worthy of note. I regretted that
my limited time did not permit of my inquiring more definitely into the workings of
the Maatschappig tot Nut van't Algemeen, or Association for the furtherance of
the general good, which has its principal
bureau in Amsterdam. It was founded by
a Baptist minister in 1784, and its good
workings is felt through all Holland. Its
objects are, the raising of the standard of
popular education, the circulation of good
literature, the diffusing of knowledge generally, the promotion of good morals, the support of widows and orphans, and others

equally praiseworthy. The Seamen's Home
is a fine building, erected 1856. I spent
one evening in the brilliantly lighted Zoological Garden (one of the finest and best
arranged in Europe), where hundreds of the
good people of Amsterdam were gathered for
a concert. The friendly and family groups
under the arching trees made a charming
picture. Here I noticed that nearly every
one had tea, instead of beer, as in Germany.
1 shall always remember with pleasure my
walk home on the same evening along the
ship-crowded wharves. It was so still and
peaceful and the air so balmy that I half
fancied myself again in the tropics. The
moon shone in all its beauty, and the river

the winding canals, the fantastic bouses, the
grey towers, seemed transfigured in the silvery light.
REMBRANDT AND THE PICTURE GALLERIES OF
AMSTERDAM.
It were wiser for me, in these brief and
hastily written sketches, to avoid altogether
mentioning the subject of Dutch and Flemish art; the field is too great, too important,
in a certain sense too sacred, to be touched
upon lightly and superficially. And yet I
can scarcely walk with you through the
streets of Amsterdam without for a moment
speaking of Rembrandt, whose home was
here. At least one-half your time in visiting
the Netherlands will, I am sure, be spent in
the Picture Galleries ; they are the rightlul
glory of these little countries. To study
Dutch and Flemish art, one must come here
to the fountain-head. You may see scattered pictures of Dutch and Flemish artists
all over Europe, but it strikes me that here
alone you can rightly understand them.
You walk the streets they walked, look upon
the same faces which you see painted in
their pictures —enter, as it were, into their
very life. I can scarcely compel my pen to
19

stay within its prescribed limits. The very
mention of this subject seems like the opening of the floodgates, and the great waves
of joyous memories, of the hours and days I
spent in the compauy of Rembrandt, of
Rubens, of Potter, Franz Hals and the other
masters, rush in upon me, almost overwhelmingly. I would wish to avoid anything that might seem like sentimental
exaggeration, but I can truly say that as I
have come forth from some of these worldfamous galleries, I have with difficulty re-
frained from shouting from very joy, and
though months have now crept in between
those days and these, I feel that the inspiration and delight they were to me then
grows, like wine, stronger and sweeter with
time.
Amsterdam, as I was saying, was the
home of Rembrandt, one of the greatest
artists the world has ever known, —the
Shakspeare of painting, as Tame so rightly
calls him. He was born in Leiden about
1607, and died in Amsterdam, where he
spent the most important portion of his life,
in 1667. Everyone is familiar with his
peculiar style of painting, the contrasts of
light aod shadow, the illumination of one
particular point in a painting. You will
pardon me for giving one or two words from
Taine's suggestive pages on this artist.
They are themselves so exquisitely beautiful that they have run in my mind for days,
like music :
" Ho rendered this atmosphere palpable and
revealed to us its mysterious and thronging
population ; he impregnated it with the light of
his own country—a feeble yellow illumination
like that of a lamp in a cellar; he felt the
mournful struggle between it and shadow, the
weakness of vanishing rays dying away in gloom,
the treoMouaness ofreflections vainly clinging
to gleaming walls, the sum of that vague multitude of half darks which, invisible to ordinary
it not for the near presence of amber and
brown and dusky black shadows of unfathomable depth. It is this element of
mystery which he holds over you like a
mugician. But his power lies, most of all,
in his nearness to nature and humanity.
His paintings are, as it were, animated by
some impassioned soul! With Rembrandt's
name begins a long list of artist names which
have a world-wide celebrity. I may perhaps recall a few by name—more is here
impossible: Ruisdael, Ter Burg, Paul
Potter, Gerard Dow, Jaa Steen, Teniers,
Van der Heist. Amsterdam, with its numerous galleries, easy of access, furnishes for
the visitor, whether his Stay be long or
short, a rich and satisfying feast.
UTBECHT.
I went down by train one lovely moonlight evening to Utrecht, spent that night
there in a charming little Dutch inn, and
next day rambled about the old town. Old
indeed it is, for it is one of the old cities of
Holland, and that is saying much. In
Utrecht is a famous University,"numbering
something like 500 students. In Ecclesiastical history Utrecht has played an important role. To-day it is a charmingly fresh and
cleanly city, beautiful with blossoming gar-
dens and pleasant homes. 1 climbed up the
long winding stone stairways of the Cathedral tower, and when once at the summit
felt loath indeed to leave. The view is extensive, commanding almost all of Holland
and other provinces over the border. The
verdant landscape lay bathed in a delicious
wealth of golden autumn sunshine, varied
by beautiful groves of trees, through which
the red-tiled roofs of villages and country
homes gleamed in the noon-sunlight, intersected at every turn by winding canals and
silver streams. The suburbs of the city are
wonderfully charming. 1 rode several miles

abysa of waters. On emerging Irom this obscurlawns, and the

or some magical effulgence, or as myriads of villas of wealthy merchants.
beaming darts."
The finest collection of pictures in Holland is in Amsterdam, and the finest picture
of the collection is the " Night Watch" of
Rembrandt. It represents one of the ancient guilds of Amsterdam, and depicts its
members in holiday attire, and is one of the
most superb pieces of artistic coloring in
the world. The figures, life size, seem
fairly stepping out of the canvas to greet
you. The effects of light and shadow are
marvelous. In the Royal Gallery at the
Hague is a striking painting by Rembrandt,
strangely, painfully fascinating. It presents
to us a famous anatomist of that day, surrounded by an eager group of listeners,
before whom is placed a corpse, explaining
the wondrous mechanism of the human
body. Neat this is an exquisite picture, a

flood of golden light. But I must not allow
myself to specify. I know of no painter

ZAAMDAM AND PETER THE GREAT.
One could spend day after day making
excursions by steamer, by sail or foot from
Amsterdam out, and all of tbem pleasant
and interesting. There is Hoorn, Pumerende, and above all funny, neat little Brock,
which has the most evincible renown of being the cleanest place in t/ie world- Nearly all the inhabitants of this model little
nook are engaged in the making of " Edam"
cheese. The houses, most of them are picturesquely painted in white and green. Zaandam is an interesting town, only an hour or
two trom Amsterdam by boat. The view of
that city from the water in leaving was most
imposing. Everybody comes to Zaandam
to see the little log cabin where Peter the
Great lived for a number of months, when
he came to Holland to learn how the Dutch
made their ships, and worked (his rank unknown) as a common laborer, in the sweat
of his brow, on the wharves. The story is a
very fine and interesting one, and will amply repay any one who looks it up in Russian History. One of the late Queens of
Holland, a Russian Princess, bought ihe little hut and had a larger building constructed
over it, in order to protect!, from the weath-

other being the bedroom of the Czar of all

people. I chanced to be in Zaandam quite
at tbe right time. It was '• Kirmess "or the

country people and filled with gayly ornamented booths, and all manner of

All this gay color and life was a very pleasant
addition to the picturesque town.
BY
WATER TO ALKMAAR.
My longing to see in reality, in all its
poetic charm here in Holland, what I had so
often seen in the paintings of Dutch landscapes was fullyagratified one rare afternoon
and evening between Zaandam and Alkmaar. It seemed as I stood on the deck of
the steamer as if one lovely and characteristic picture after another whs unfolded before
me. Our way lay partly on by river, partly
by broad canals. Now and then great boats
swung down the river, crowded with huge
tawny, brown sails, which rose in a stately
way against the fair and tenderly tinted sky
of the coming evening. Some of them
seemed to be the homes of entire families,
and in their way had a <;ozy, snug hole, at
least the parents nnd rosy checked children
seemed contented. Quite down to the waters edge came pretty Bnd trim little gardens, and hundreds of bouses, (all of them
wonderfully neat and orderly, and some
bearing over the gable or at the side some
pleasant and poetic name) brought the
people near to me. 1 en" homes "of thethe
family life—the gatherjoyed picturing
ings in the garden, the father with his evening pipe, the mothers and daughters at their
knitting, the boys engaged in their sports.
Far off the horizon appeared spires of village churches, stately manor, houses peeped
through the trees. Hundreds of windmills
to right, to left, of all sizes and ages, rose
like the trees of a forest along our way
This is the very Paradise of windmills.
Then came wile and glorious stretches of
meadow land, where wandered the famous
sleek and gentle-eyed cattle of Holland.
Here and there were scattered groups of laborers, though the twilight had already begun to gather, others were leisurely taking
their way homeward. The low lands were
covered with silvery, fleecy bands of floating
mist. The night air came in soft, cool
waves over the water against the pale, rosetinted sunset sky came a shadow, taking as
we drew nearer the forms of stately towers,
sending us messages of welcome from the

of a shrewd obsaSrer in the Vice-ConsulGeneral of the United States at Melbourne.
In a recent report to the Department of State
at Washington, he comments on the peculiar
relation in which the colonies stand towards
the Union. They fight the Americans with
their own weapons—high duties and partiality to native industry. It may be advisable, therefore, thinks the Vice-ConsulGeneral, to come to terms with them. At
present they levy heavy taxes on all American produce—lumber, tobacco, tinned meats,
hardware, tools, etc. It would be an obvious
advantage to American manufacturers to
have these obstructive duties reduced, and
such a magnificent customer as Australia
might be beguiled into reciprocity. Australia has one staple export, her unrivalled
wool, which America is compelled to use
whether she will or not. It cannot be produced in the States, and native wool growers are not in the least benefited by the high
duty it has to pay. The Vice-ConsulGeneral proposes a bargain with Australia,
in which, for the sake of easy admission of
her wool into the States, she would favor
the consumption of American tinned meats,
tools and hardware at the Antipodes. Should
the Department of State take action on this
very plausible advice it will soon learn that
its Melbourne agent has sent it after a willo'-the-wisp. It is a fundamental condition
of self-government in every Australian
colony that no differential duties shall be
levied.

111 X FRIEND, MARCH.
22
We had the pleasure, by a recent
mail, to receive two neatly written letters,
one from a lady aged 86, nnd the other from
a lady aged 92 both written in a style of
penmanship which would make some young
ladies in their school days quite blush. One
resides in Massachusetts and tbe other in
Kansas, to which she had just removed from
lowa, a distance of 500 miles of land travel.
What seems quite noteworthy, both referred
to Hawaiians who visited America before
the arrival of the missionaries here in 1820.
Mrs. Nelson, widow of Dr. Nelson, late
pastor of the church in Leicester, thus writes
under date of Nov. 17 :
"I have ever felt n great interest in the
Sandwich islands, having known tbe first
missionaries who went from our country to
that place. That company collected and
dined in our village before they left Thomas
Hopu stood on the steps of a dwelling-house
surrounded by the missionary group and
many villagers, and offered a prayer ; so we
took leave of them. On the 15th of October
last I crossed the threshold of my ninetysecond birthday. Shadows have followed
the sunshine, but I have had more lights
than shadows in my pilgrimage. I have had
a pleasant journey. Though the billows
swell, we will trust the pilot that can carry
us safely to the desired shore—the haven of
rest."
Our other correspondent in Kansas, thus
writes :
" I have always kept the mission to the
Sandwich Islands in mind more than any
other, having had a niece there, and all the
circumstances of its first beginning being
fresh in mind. Henry Obookiah having
lived in my sister's family, and I occasionally visiting there, made lasting impressions."
[From the Literary World.)
1880.
before him, intending to read and make his
memoranda as he goes along; but hour after
hour slips by, and when the lamp is burning
low, and the fire is dying out, and the book
has been read from back to back, the critic
rouses himself to the discovery that he has
not made a single pencil-mark on the margin
or on the blank paper which he so conscientiously placed upon his desk. The fact is,
Miss Bird visited such extraordinary scenes,
and accomplished her travelling in such an
extraordinary fashion, especially for a lady,
that she almost takes our breath away, and
we simply read on and on the story which
she tells and the pen nnd ink pictures or
word paintings which she gives, with keenest
zest, and in the most uncritical fashion
possible.
Miss R ird certainly is not a lady to be
satisfied with a beat in a first-class carriage
or a Pullman's car. She did the greater
part of her journey in the Rocky Mountains
on horseback, sitting astride her saddle like
a man, wearing a dress (no doubt a graceful
one, although it got almost worn to pieces
before she had done with it) which she had
had made for her and had used in the
islands of the Pacific, and having no company but that of her horse and of such acquaintances, often of the wildest and rough
est kind, as chance and the exigencies of
travel compelled her to pick up. She found
her way in a truly marvelous manner across
vast and sometimes trackless wastes ; she
pressed on, now through blinding snow and
frozen rain which caused the blood to start
when it struck the face, and then through
blazing, torturing, sickening heat; she forded innumerable streams, lakes and rivers,
sometimes crossing over on ice and dropping
into tbe ice-cold water when half-way over,
and then having to ride on with benumbed
limbs throuch fierce cold and frost for hours
before she could find the rudest shelter or
the roughest food; she slept generally on
hay or straw, and was fortunate when she
could get the coarsest blankets, while the
wind drove freely through the open chinks
of the log hut in which she had found
refuge, and in the morning she had to sweep
the snow or mud from the floor before she
could complete her toilet; her food was
often not only of the plainest kind, but sometimes of the scantiest in quantity; once the
A Lady in the Rocky Mountains.*
Miss Isabella L. Bird is already known to
a considerable and appreciative public by her
•' Six Months in the Sandwich islands," a
book which abundantly testifies to her enthusiastic love of traveling adventure and
her very exceptional powers of vivacious
description. This volume about her " Life
in the Rocky Mountains" consists of letters only water she could get was about as thick

Colorado of whom Bret Harte has given us
such vivid sketches, and whose reckless dissipation, extravagant eccentricities and
strange inconsistencies, in which a daredevil rascality is often blended with a certain simplicity and nobleness of nature,
make them seem, to stay-at-home readers,
like creatures of fiction rather than of real
life.
It is fair to mention, however, that, writing still of Colorado, Miss Bird goes on to
say : "There is a manifest indifference to
the higher obligations ofthe law,'judgment,
mercy and faith;' but in the main the
settlers are steady, there are few flagrant
breaches of morals, industry is the rule, life
and property are far safer than
and Scotland, and the law ot**universal
respect to women is still in full force."
On the last mentioned point Miss Bird's
testimony is repeated and emphatic, and
reflects much honor upon the population
through which she passed and amongst
whom she lived under such very singular
conditions, —traveling alone, without arms,
and altogether in a way which must have
struck even those most remote from the
ordinary currents of civilization as somewhat odd.
During all her strange adven-
tures and rencounters, she met, she tells us,
with " nothing but civility, both of manner
and of speech," except in a solitary instance,
which, however, was not a serious one. '• I
have seen," she writes in her last letter,
"a great deal of the roughest class of men,
both on sea and land, during the last two
years, and the more important 1 think the
mission' of every quiet, refined, self-respect'ing
woman, the more mistaken 1 think those
who would forfeit it by noisy self-assertion,
masculinity, or fastness. In all this wild
West ihe influence of woman is second only
in its benefits to the influence of religion,
and where the last unhappily does not exist, the first continually exerts its restraining
power."
Midnight Gathering at Tapiteuea.–
We have received a letter from the Key. E.
T. Doane, who sailed in the Morning Star.
It is dated July 9th, while the vessel was
cruising among the Gilbert Islands. He thus
writes : " It was pleasant to ' come to' under
the lee of the island. 1 took the Captain's
gig and pulled in with a native or two over
the covered flats, and reached the native
teacher's house—Moses. It was near midnight. Natives, as soon as they heard of
our arrival, spread the report and came rushing together, having put on their Christian
dresses—white shirts for the men and calico
dresses for the women. Each came bringing a cocoanut full of native molasses. A
beautiful incident was this, for somewhere
or somehow the Lord had touched their
hearts, and they were more willing to give
than receive. It was not long ere we had n
large company, all seated on mats and quite
decorous. Do you know bow wild these
Gilbert Islanders are ? But here, at midnight, we sang and prayed together. ' There
is a Happy Land ' was the melody we sung.
There, on ftbat wild sand-beach, there was
singing ana praying to a late hour."

Pure religion and undeflled before God, the Father, is this :

Oh where Is the sea V the flshes cried.
As they swam the crystal clearness through;

Aid we king to look on the waters bloc.
The wise ones speak of the Infinite see—
Oh, who can tell ne if such there be !"

And this was Its song "I see the light,

But flying or singing, everywhere,
In rain 1 bsrs searched to And the air."

Please give attention to the following
Association notices :
A weekly Thursday evening meeting for
Christian young men is held in the side
rooms of Fort Street Church vestry at 7
o'clock p. m. Let them receive support.
The undersigned, the Eonplovment Committee of the Y. M. C. A.of this city,
solicit business firms, business men, and in
general all who wish employees, to apply to
them for the same, as there are now numbers of employees waiting for applications
through the above Committee.

The Y. M. C. A. Reading-room, on the
second floor of the Sailors' Home, opposite
the Post Office, is open every evening to
strangers and ail who wish to come.
In looking over a number of the
Chicago Y. M. C. A. Watchman, we see
notices of the Young Women's and the
Commercial Travelers' Christian Associations—something new to us. Verily we
are marching at quickstep.
The time seems to have come when
branch y. M. C. Associations on a small
scale could be started with advantage ut
points on the other islands—say Kohala and
Wailuku. The present influx of strangers
would give such Associations work to do,
and work done insures life to any society.
A small reading room could be started and a
committee appointed to visit the sick, if
nothing more. Our Y. M. C. A. has at
least a member in each of the above localities. Let them consider this suggestion.
Some thirty years ago, the pastor of
the Bethel, one Sabbath morning, while on
the way to the chapel, invited a young
whaleman he met on the street to attend
service with him. The boy did not attend,
but after thirty years, coming back here as
a lieutenant on an American ship of war,
called upon the pastor, and recalling the
long-forgotten circumstance, said that he
had come to apologize for not accepting his
invitation, which he had never forgotten,
and the refusal of which had caused him uneasiness sufficient to keep the otherwise
trivial occurrence fresh in his memory for
the past thirty years.
murder of Harris by Wil iams
during the past month adds still
further to the long list of evilsresulting from
strong drink. " Look not thou upon the
wine when it is red, when it giveth his
color in the cup. At the last it biteth like
a serpent and stingeth like an adder."
Many of humanity have fallen through wine
since these words were uttered, and many
more are yet to fall. It seems almost idle
to say to young men, beware ! Experience,
though black and bitter, seems the only
teacher that the majority will listen to, and
then because they cannot do otherwise.

The Library and Reading-Room Association.—After
the many degraded and degrading sights and sounds that one meets
with in parts of Honolulu of an evening, it
is a pleasant relief to step into the welllighted room of this Association, on the
second floor of Williams' brick building,
there to take a view of the other side of
the question. The Library, thanks to recent
donations, now numbers over 1,000 volumes.
Some fifty different periodicals and papers
are spread out on the different tables, and
the members number over two hundred. The
number of persons who step in to read during the evening averages between 10 and
15, while others take their reading matter

home.
One member lately come among us
has said that he thought he would have retreated from this place long ago had it not
been for the Reading-room, and the general
sentiment is that it is a step in the right direction.
A Fair may be held some time during the
coming months for the benefit of this, the
public's adopted child, when all are expected
to do the fair thing. Any who are hindered
from doing their share in this manner might
help as much and more by a donation of
books to the Library.

To the Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu :
Dear Brethren 1 was very much interested in an account recently given me by a
seaman about the Sandwich Islands. He
gave me the name of Mr. Damon as the
missionary. Mr. Damon may or may not
remember him—William M. Taylor.
1
dropped a line to our city missionary, T. R.
Dennison, asking the full name of Mr.
Damon, and he called and gave me some
copies of The Friend, of which one page, I
observe, is conJucted by you. Now, I
should like very much to put The Friend
regularly upon our Association readingtable and to advertise it as one of the attractions to our rooms—a paper from the far-off
Sandwich Islands. 1 desire to keep my
membership posted on what is going on
abroad in our line.
:
Give my hearty God-speed to Mr. Damon
and accept it for yourselves.
Sincerely yours, W. P. Webster,
General Secretary of Y. M. C. A.
S.—As
an item of news, you may say
P.
that the State of Massachusetts has called,
as State Secretary, Mr. S. M. Sayford. who
was General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
at Syracuse, N. Y. A very delightful reception was given him on the evening ot
Feb. 4by the State Executive Committee,
in the parlors of the Boston Y. M C. Association. Brethren from-all over the State,
and several from beyond her borders, were
present.

Glasgow, Scotland.—The new Association
building, costing 8150,000, nearly all
of which was contributed by the merchant

the Earl of Shaftesbury. They have 5,650
members on their roll; they have 180
branch Associations, 9,300 volumes in the
library. They have 18 evening classes
with 1,328 members. They received and
expended last year about $8,300.
