The facts, as We learn them. from undoubtcd
authority, are thesc-Gcorgc Prince 1amerec,
son of Tamoree, king of AtooI, was, some. wears
since, sent, with several other Sandwich Island
youths, to the Foreign Mission Schori at Corn
wall, Conn. Several oi his companions became
hopefully pious; but he remained obd'lrate--
When the first mission embarkedAit was deemed
important that he should accompany not, how
ever account of any religious influence winch
was expected from him., (for his character atlor-
ded no ground for such expectatons,) but be-
cause he was the son of one OF the principal
chiefs on the island, who had expressed strong
desires for his return, and who would be likely
to befriend those who brough, lis son back. He
embarked with the missionaries, and accompain-
ed them to his native islands. Their cypccta-
tons were answered. Talmoree received his
son with iov, and has ever since been on most
friendly terms with the mission.
But such was the dissipated conduct of George
that he soon lost the confidence OF his father,
and never regalned it.
Talmorec, at his death, secured his property
and the Island to kriinokoo and kaahunanu, IN
trust for Rcho-reho, who was then absent on nus
voyage to England. This arrangement dspleas
ed George; and, in connection with one or two
other chiefs, and party of the natives, he at
tackled fort at Wimaah. but was rcpulsed.-
Krimakoo then called in the missionaries and re
questcd them to give thanks to Jehovah for the
victory; after which he sent them to Woahoo, IL
Il vessel which went for reintorcements
| A thousand then came, George and his part,
were Defeated with some loss, and George fec
to the mountains, where he was concealed iron

The missionaries apprehend no other seriou

and expect none. Recorder

inence in piety and charity, had in his
youth some doubts of the reality of an
other life. He saw one night, in a
dream, young man of celebrated fig
ure, who babe him follow him. The
apparition led him into a magnificent
city, in which his ears were charmed by
melodious music, which far exceeded
the most enchanting harmony he had
ever heard. To the inquiry, from
whence proceeded these ravishing
sounds, bis conductor answered, that
they were the hymns of the blessed in
heaven; aud disappeared. Gennadlus
awoke, and the impression of the dream
was dissipated by the transactions of the
day. The following night the same
young man appeared, and asked wheth-

songs which heard last night, answer
