in radiance, and the world started from IT'S
'torpor! They also feIta new life within
'them--they looked forward TO spring and
summer; and the ship from Denmark. We
even seemed to breath more freely. At
Udy, Gin Denmark adds Saabye, we know
not how to prize the daily presence OF the
sun, because we never know his absence.
When others complain Of the short Deem
Der days, I think on Greenland, and Thank
God for The light which he gives US here in
December Saabye's settlement, the
polar day begins on the Gath May. but il
was not till the beginning of July, that the
soil OF his little garden was sufficiently
thawed to enable him to SOW it. Great la.
Dor had been bestowed in making the
ground. The thin layer Of earth which CO.
vefedilia rock adjoining his house, was moi
deep enough for the spade, therefore our
pastor and his wife brought good mould eve
ry now and then, which they. carried in a
tub, till they found il was sufficient TO allow
of vegetation. The details Of their horti-
culture are curious. Cabbages hcurished
remarkably wei, turnips grew to the size
of tea-cup, lost their bitter taste, and ac-
CURED an agreeable sweetness; but Saa-
bye's carrots were never larger than the
stem OF tobacco pipe. Celery and broad
beans would not grow at all peas ran into
bloom but did not set; the barley was Kill
led by the frost. Vegetation was uncom-
monty rapid.
The Greenlanders believe that a certain
Congekok or Conjuror. came to settle at
Disco, and not finding supply of his ia
vorite com6t. he towed The Island from the
south into its present situation. AT the
summer solstice, the sun at midnight SEEM
ed to be ofthe same altitude as he is at noon
in Denmark in the month OF December /;
and it is glorious spectacle to follow him
in his unwearied course, circling again and
again the heavens. The night sun sheds a
mild warmth, and yet he shines with broad
unnatural glare; The sky is clear and the air
is calm.-On the contrary, when he is at
his greatest altitude, .fogs envelope the land,
the air is sultry, swarming with tormentors
of the insect tribes. On the Goth of July,
the sun begins 10 dip below the horizon ; at
first his setting is scarcely perceptible, but
the night frosts som increase and remind
the missionary Of the approach Of The even
ing Of the year.
