The Friend.

The February number of the Friend has
come promptly to hand and is found well
filled with interesting matter. We copy the
following from its columns as being just the
right thing said at the right moment.
Speaking of the suppression of lottery
lately by the Marshal, the editor of the
Friend goes on to say: And, now that he
has begun this good work, we hope the Mar
shall will follow it up vigorously, and that
he will keep a sharp watch upon all future
church and charity fairs, and allow no
gambling devices of any kind in them. We
have had too much of this doing evil that
good may come of it, here in Honolulu.
The money which comes into the Lord s
treasury from turning our church vestries
into preparatory schools or ante-rooms to
the gambling dens is accursed. In what
do the 'guess-cakes,' chances in this,
that, and the other, 'raffles,' ETC., of the
ordinary fair differ from gambling pnre and
simple? Is not the difference one of degree
only, and not of principle?"
A very pleasant and instructive innova-
ton in the Friend is the publishing of a
short but well written story. It might be a
good idea to commence one to run through
several numbers. A large amount of intor-
nation concerning religious matters on
these islands fill the number.

come, and a great war arise, find |
themselves very much mistaken, and |
it is surprising that an American
journal should so far forget the lessons
of 1851 to 1854 as to express the opin-
ion that, even if without generals,
armies, fleets, or allies, she cannot
shake herself together as soon as
aroused, and repeat the glorious
annals" of former times. But though
we may take these American refiec-
lions of European opinion, and of
opinion which also finds expression
among a section of the British public
itself with many grains of salt, they
would never have seen the day if
there had not been something really
grave in the condition of affairs in
Europe. Under the surface lies every
where that great first cause of so
many revolutions and so many wars,
an impoverished populace. Com
mercial and agricultural depression
of severe type prevails in so very
many parts of the world that want
stares thousands upon thousands of
families in the face. Even the fact that
breadstuffs are at low prices, and that
therefore one staple article of food is
not dear is of little import where
work cannot be had at any wages,
| where industries yield only loss for a
return, and no prospect of better
times as yet presents itself. Such is
the condition of things over SO
great an area of the world at the
present time and, coming III con
junction with SO many political com
plications in which the amour 22roprc
of proud nations is so deeply involved
il fOrbodes trouble of serious nature
With gathering clouds, to be seen al
round the horizon, it is hardly to bt
wondered at that European Journal
should busy themselves with tall
about the isolation" the dangers,
the "decIine" of that great, but ar
rogant, Power, which has Away
been so provokingly ready to meddl
in the affairs of other nations, and
so likely to do so in very trouble

lated and in danger, unless her pre-
dicted "decline" can be brough

Art is simply the application of
knowledge or power to effect pur-
pose; the employment of means to &C
complish desired end. In this sense
art stands opposed to nature.
Dramatic art consists first in pre-
senting a scene in harmony with the
picture that is to be wrought out;
next, in posing the figures effectively;
and lastly, in drawing the life lines
gracefully and sharply, so as to sug-
gest to the mind the spirit and mo-
tive of the subject. To give these in
their minute details is to portray art
after the manner of the ARCHITECT; to
suggest them by clearly drawn life
lines is the art that enlists the sym
pathies and arouses the artistic taste
of an audience. The one leaves no.
| thing for the audience to do; the
other takes him into partnership.
