marble about forty inches square, and is 90 nearly

The roof is about 100 feet from the ground. The
building is surrounded by Corinthian colonnade

Go forth into the country,
From world Of care and guile;
Go forth to the untaiRtcd air,
And tho sunshine's open smile.
1t shall clear thy cloudcd brow,
II shall loose tho worldly coil
That binds thy heart too closely up,
Thou man of care and toll
Go forth into tho country,
Where gladstone sights and sounds
Mako the hearts pulses thrill and leap
With iTesher, quicker bounds.
They shall wake fresh life within
The minds enchanted bower;
Go, student of the midnight lamp,
Aud Try their magic power!
Go forth into the country,
With its songs Of happy birds,
Its fertile wales, its grassy hills,
Alive with locks aud herds,
Against the powers Of sadness
Is its magic all arrayod
Go forth, and dream no idle dreams,
Oh, visionary maid
Go forth into the country,
Where the nuts rich clusters grow
Where the strawberry ncstIcs mid tho iurzc,
And the holly-berrios glow,
Each season hath its treasures,
Like thee, all free and wild;
Who would keep thee from the country,
Thou happy, unIess child!
Go forth into the country!
!. hath many a solemn grove,
And many an altar on its hills,
Sacred to peace and love.
And whilst with grateful lervor
Thine eyes its glory sean,
Worship the God who made it all,

Extract from letter to the n. Y. Evangelist.
Building IA Church ou the Sandwich Island.

lAAUdNl lIuUl u ltllt1 ~ llt ~, i ENaIlBClSt.
building Church ola the Sandwich Islands
cannot better close this letter, than
by quoting from Mr.. Forbes own sketch
Of the process by which his church was
edited to its present standing, as show
Ing tho way in which missionaries have
TO accomplish such works in Hawaii mel.
"J'he building is 100 feet by 81 on the
outside, laid up in stone and lime, with
side walls II feet high, and lathed and
plastered overhead in the form of hol-
low hall-heXagon. The whole cost OF
the building cannot be easily computed.
But think we could not have erected il
for less than $4,000, had everything been
paid for. In the first place, every stone
had to be carried by church members
about one-eighth Of mile TO the build
ing, This was gratuitous labor. Our
lime had then TO be obtained in the fol-
lowing manner: The choral was taken
from the sea, and as there are no reefs
here, it was procured from the bottom,
IN from ten 10 twenty feet water, by d.
wing down, detaching a piece, and, il
large, ascending TO take breath, and then
descending again with rope which they
make fast, and draw up the mass. In
this way the coral was laden, then rowed
ashore, and the coral piled on the beach.
Thus all the limestone was procured,
about thirly-stX cubic lathoms in all. Ii
was then TO be burned. For this purpose
they had 10 procure more than forty cords
of wood, every stick of which was car
red from the mountain, from one to two
miles, on the shoulders of church men,
bers. After the wood was got and the
lime burned, it still had TO be taken from
the beach 10 the building, about one-quar-
ter Of mile. This was done by the wo-
men, in calabashes, each one filling her
calaba8h with lime, and carrying it on
her shoulder TO the building; in all, about
zoo barrels. In like manner they carried
full as much sand, and about an equal
quantity Of water, carried solely by the
women in calabashes. This labor of fc-
male members was entirely gramIouS,
besides many contributions in other
ways.
"I'hen the plates, beams, sills, ralers,
and posts which support the work over
head, joice, lath, matching grass, ETC.,
were still TO be got. This fell on the
men, Of course; and, as we had no cattle
TO drag large sticks, such things not be-
ing owned by any person who is a mem
Der of my church, the male church mem
bers divided themselves off into compa-
MES, according to the size OF the stick to
be dragged down; and taking with them
ropes, each company selected their stick
going up in the mountain by daylight
The posts and beams required from abou
forty to sixty men for each stick. Gen
orally, they got down the stick by dark
after much toll, over beds OF lava and ra
vines. The distance was from six to ter
miles. In this way, all our timbers were
obtained. Sometimes went with then
myself, to encourage them, and iounC
that by the time we reached the place
where the ,imbers were, we had perform
cd quite iatlguing mornings journey
besides being bcnumbed with the cold
and thoroughly wet with the dew on III
