In a communication from Mr. (Jut/.Ial dated Macao, Dec. 2d, 1634, dcscribin un extensive tour on the coast of China, i winch he visited tlic island of Formosa, 1 gives the following interesting description: Distribution at Po-low on the Sabbath. The 20th (of Julv) was a fine summer day. It was the Lord's Sabbath, and whole mind was filled with heavenly joj *3o I went towards a place called Po-tov singing and rejoicing in the Lord, my pool cts and bags filled with medicines, and tl; boxes with :books. On the beach we mi u number of poor individuals engaged i collecting a few small oysters, which the carefi.Hy salt and eat with their potatoc: It was impossible to pass them withoi giving them a few books and talking son words of consolation. The farther w penetrated inland the more numerous the vi lages. In passing a small ravine, the peopli uwure ui my uuviwg uuuivs, n?;u jnuw themselves so advantageously that i lis either to satisfy' their demands or to g hack. Thus I opened my treasures an began the distribution: the presents wei received with the warmest thanks, an I had only to regret that my stock was soo exhausted ; yet I consoled tliein with ha> ing another box in the boat, wliils standing under a tree, I commence my medical operations. 31 any an indivii a! was profuse in his gratitude, and som offered small presents which I refused t accept. A numerous train acconipanie me to the boat, and it was a wonder that s!; did not sink, for the crowd around it, wh leaded up to the neck through the icater, wn very large. W hen every leaf had gotte its owner, they took a cheerful farewell,an requested mc to re-visit their village. Ihsappobitnient of an old Soldier. Tiic following days were passed in sim lar visits. 1 had olten to wade throng swamps and ditches, and thus found no fui titer use lor shoes and stockings. Oftc have I regretted that some old, well deservin individuals did not share in the general scran hie, and solicited mc in vain to bestow a gi upon them; especially one old soldier, aboi the ago of 60, who knew how to read, an was desirous to make himself acquaintc with the contents of the Christian books lie had stood a considerable time in anxiou expectation, whether the young men of tli village would leave him one book, fie cam finally up to mc, seeing the hopelessness c the case, and forcing his way through th< crowd, obtained a book, which anothc snatched again out of his hand. FTo was a this instance of rapacity almost moved t< . tears, and besought mc instantly not to for get him at the next distribution. Impetuosity for Books. .Anxious to prevent the impetuosity, I pla ^cettwiysclf upon a rock, addressed the in habitants of a large village, and cxhorlet thenrte behave quietly during the distribu tion wliieli was to ensue. They promise* obedience to this injunction ; but scarcch * liad I v?peuod the book box, when they for got themselves, and became thouvcelves tlx distributors, assuring me thai they woulc peruse tUem with the greater eagerness since they themselves had made the choice, I could not licip myself, and yielded to thcii wishes. Hospitality and Kindness of the People. In visiting village by village, hamlet by hamlet, where I principally scattered tin Scriptures, I met with tko most affectionate reception. There was not a hovel where we were not invited to stay over the break fast and to partake of their homely fare. The women, too, showed themselves mos officious to render us small services, anc waited for us with tea when they saw us ad.r?.vrw, rtwmvl ft?r?ir liniisns. A mail whoil Vtuiw l\/l? W?|\? V?w. - - w _ I had known previously took a great interest in making the people acquainted witl the object of our mission, in order to drav the attention of his neighbors to the book; and to increase the interest felt in them Indeed J have never found so much kirn care and so ready a desire of obtaing tlx Scriptures as on this occasion. Therefon I blessed the Lord for his goodness, whils praying that he might pour out his Hoh Spirit for the salvation of these poor people As the demand was so very general, nn< my visits frequent, my large stock amoun ting to more than I used to circulate form crly in Southern Asia withui two years, was exhausted. Sicamping of the boat?loss of MedicinesDamage to Books. I took the last box to a village inhabits by the refuse of the people. The sea was running high and our boat swamped ; th< book box, however, was carried safely 01 shore by the surf. All wet, I jumped througl the surf on shore. My medicine was ai lost and floating about; but I rejoiced tha at least the box had been saved. Deferri 11.? the distribution till some of the books whicl had gotten wet might become dry, I sue eecded at first to overcome the impatieno .j?f the numerous bystanders; but'ali 011 : sudden, they told me plainly that they mus have them. Delay would Rave been im prudent, and have only exposed me to thei ** ? ? - I irnrl' Ditter vituperations mus * iv ...... and the volumes were very soon scattered Curiosity of the people?Preaching to th Multitude. The curiosity of the people to see us \va; here greater than in any of the othe places. Even the females came dowi to the beach to have a peep at us. Durin< -the time our people were baling the boat, preached to my curious auditors, who beha ved very quietly as soda as I commence* speaking, and moreover took a lively inter est in the doctrines. Having propounds questions, received answers, repeated th* subject, and explained upon the principn point, I parted from them in a most cheerfu .mood. SANDWICH JS LANDS. The efforts of the Missionaries at th* Sandwich Islands, to introduce euucatioi and the arts of civilized life, have been verj successful during the past year.

It has been there, lore the object of the author to make' a treatise , i strictly practical, omitting nothing of importance, nnd adding nothing of a useless qt cxtraneooa character. As making tho raw material into sewing SiUc and Twist is very profitable to the Silk grower, all necessary information for that purpose will be ^ given. . : rfl1 - ? ? ? _1 Ml t-? ? ? t i m? m ?ii "'V |ii?? ana win goon uu puulishcd in a duodecimo of about 100 pages, in handsome . binding?price 50 cents.
