The Sandwich Islands.

The increase of the sugar production
and other industries on these islands has
attracted the Chinese there in consider
able numbers. The Honolulu trifHd
has the following on the subject of a
better class Of emigrants from Northern
Europe. 1t says:
The arrival of Il ship with immigrants
from Norway during the past few months
opens new avenue for filling our sparse
ly-populatcd country. AS Il rule one can
understand that these people are Luther
ans. sober. Industrious, and quiet. in
favor of education and Justice. AS such
they are people to be desired; and if
more can be procured, Norway and Swe-
den had better be drawn from ut public
expense, than the Pacific Islands or the
inslllar dependencies of Portugal or any
other Roman Catholic country. This
question of what class of citizens immi-
grants will make hereafter, is Of far
greater Importance than the immediate
one of fitness for working on sugar plan
tations. Every true friend of Hawaii
will look at this matter in this light, and
not simply for present needs. AS do
nestle servants these north of Europe
people are very highly valued in the
United States, much to the disgust of
the hitherto imperious Irish. AS for
Chinese immigration, it appears as if we
shall have all we need without any en-
enlargement: on the contrary, some
measures to compel a fair proportion of
women, or the coming of families in
place of men only, are urgently neces-
sary.

SteadfastnesS in Character.

The man who hesitates as to which OF
two things he will do, will do neither.
The man who resolves. but allows his
resolution to be changed by the first coun-
ter suggestion of 4 friend, who iluctuateS
from opinion to opinion. from plan to plan,
and veerS, like wcather-cock, to every
point of the compass, with every breath
OF caprice that blows can never accom-
plish any thing useful or great. Instead
Of being progressive III any one thing, he
will be at best stationary, and probably
retrogade in all 1t is only the man who
first consults wisely, then resolves firmly.
and executes his purpose with miieNible
perseverance, undismay by those difficult
ties which daunt 4 weather spirit, that
can advance tocmincnce in any line. Let
us take, by way of illustration, the case
Of Il student. He begins the study of
the dead languages: presently friend
comes and tells him he is wasting his
time. and had much better employ HIM
self in acquiring new ideas. He changes
his plans. and sets to work at mathemat-
les. Then comes another friend who,
with grave and sapient face, asks him
if he intends to become Il professor in :;
college: because if he does not. he is
miSemploying his time: and that. for the
business of life, common mathematics
ought to be enough of mathematical sci
encc. lie throws up his Euclid and adj
dresses himself to some other science.
which, in its turn, is again rclinquished
on an equally wise suggestion: and thus
is life spent in his plans. You must per-
ceive the folly Of this course: and the
worst effect of it is the fixing on your
mind habit of indecision. sufficient of
itself to blast the fairest prospects. No.:
take your course wisely. but firmly: and,
having taken it, hold UPON it with heroic
resolution, and the Alps and Pyrenees
will sink before you-the whole empire
of learning will lie at your feet, while
those who set out with you, but stopped
to change their plans, are yet employed
in the same Improbable business. Let
your motto be perseverance. Practice
upon 1t, and you will be convinced of its
value by the distinguished eminence to
which it will conduct you.

ranked as one of the most learned Syrians
in Damascus, and to his labors many of
our American missionaries are indebted
for their skill in the Arabic tongue. In
1861. he. with other Christians was
driven from Damascus by the Moham-
medans, who murdered some 5000 Jews
and Christians and forced those who es-
capped the slaughter to flee to places of
refuge. 1uSef hid for three days in

The Philadelphia New North
west says that at a meeting of the
board of directory of the North
ern Pacific railroad company, on
the 29th Of March, Mr.. French, the
government railway Commissioner,
now in Oregon, addressed the
directors. The substance of his
speech was that he had come from
Washington TO officially state the
policy and purpose Of the govern
ment in the event of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company
acquiring the ownership and con-
troll Of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, and changing its route as
prescribed by the companys char
ter or stopping its completion.
He said that the government would
require the construction of the
road over the Cascade mountains
to Tacoma; and if the Northern
Pacific company, under whatever
management, refused to build
there, the attorney general of the
United States would commence a
legal proceeding to compel COM
pliance with the companys char
ter, and subsequent acts of con-
gress. And he impressiveiy gave
notice, that any arrangement or
compromise by which the obliga-
tion to build to Puget-sound from
lake Superior was avoided or sus-
pended, would be treated by the
government as a violation of the
companys charter, and null and
void.
