THE POLYNESIAN.
S AT U U7) A J AX. lV, Hli.It will be. worth our attention to take a
view, of those islands which arc w holly with-
out missionary inilucnrc, hut partially underthat of foreigners. Their condition will gofar to refute or confirm the assertions whichwe have before made, A few teachers oft lie Methodist persuasion have settled at theFiji group; as their labors, though indefatigable in their cause, cannot be said to haveproduced a sincere convert, and the
, - 1 hey were then admittedare so populous and extensive, we c ass and presents distributedthose, to we now refer. 1 he whitepopulation among them was originally ofthesaui'j character with those who first frequent-ed New Zealand; but the barbarous habitsofthe savyges seem to have had a favorableeffect upon them, by strengthening thesense of their own moral superioi ifv, whichhas secured to them a deserved respectunions their heathen .associates. This influence has been sufficiently powerful in placeswhere they have settled in any numbers, toput an end to cannibalism, and to associate j
with it a feeling of horror and disgust.tainly a gre:t step towards changing the man-
ners of so ferocious a race. In other res-
pects, their example has been decidedly ben-
eficial, particularly in regulating the inter-course with such vessels as may touch fortrade and refreshments, and securng themfrom any treacherous attacks. They areeven desirous of securing a missionary to re-
side with them, for the purpose of instructingtheir children, and the mot favorable pointsfor the introduction of Christianity is said tobe, where they reside.

'Tis joy to me to sec the newdiorn yearBreak in upon t lie did. The flight of time,As his successive period advance,Bri.igs no dismay to inc. I lis rapid wing,But draws me nearer to celestial joys !
How is it then,With him who sailsto climes and realm afar?
With saddened mein,lie gazes listlessly upon the deep,As it lies calm and motionless.With restless eve. he scrutinize J,The languid sea and wishes lor a breeze!The Mapping canvass eager-a- t delay,Spreads iu extended arms to woo I he. wind.But bootless all, no over-anxio- us care,No gentle wooing no wish to be away,Can rullle up the deep w ith favoring gale.
Hut dillerent far,When the increasing breeze propitious
blows.He notes with anxious care the passing
hours,And marks their quick progression with de-
light!And nought so cheers the soul of voyager,As the brisk ynle, and inerry-dashin- ir waves.And with a glistening eye, and joyous heart,He oft surveys the boiliuir. sparklinir wake
f his light barque; as with quickened way,he bounds with desperate energy along,
From wave to wave !
And shall we then,Who voyage on time's illimitable sea,Mark with regret, our swillly-flyin- g barque?Shall we, with longing gaze note the retireOf passing years, and fondly wish them
back ?
Far hence the thought! They waft us sure-ly on,
To that calm haven of eternal rest,Where time shall be no more. And where
the blest,Forever in the sun-lig- ht of His loveShall hymn their praises in a world above!
