dry stockings and fur boots, after which we
set about the necessary repairs of boats.
sledges, or clothes; and, after SERVING the
provisions for the succeeding day. we went
to supper. Most of the officers and men
then smoked their pipes, which served to
dry the boats and awnings very much, and
usually raised the temperature of our lodg-
mgs III or Is deg. This part of the TWEEN
| ty-four hours was often a time, and the only
one Of real enjoyment to us; the men told
their stories, and fought all their battles
DER again, and the labors of the day, I'M
successful as they too often were, were for
gotten. A regular watch was set during
our resting time, to look out for bears or
for the ice breaking around us, as well as
to attend to the drying of the clothes, each
man alternately taking this duty for one
hour. We then Concluded cur day with
prayers, and having put on our fur dresses
lay down to sleep, with a degree of comfort
which perhaps few persons would imagine
possible under such circumstances our
chief Inconvenience being, that we were
somewhat pinched FOR room, and therefore
obliged to stow rather closer than was quite
agreeable. The temperature while we
slept, was usually from SO to AZ deg, &C
cording to the state of the external atmos-
phere; but on one or two occasions, in calm
and warm weather, it rose as high as 60 to
GO deg, obliging us to throw off part of
our fur dress. After we had slept seven
hours, the man appointed to boil the cocoa
reused US, when it was ready, by the sound
of bugle, when we commenced our day in
the manner before described. Our allow
ance of provisions for each man per day
was as follows =
Biscuit 10 ounces.
Pemmican, dried meat 8 do.
SweePnd Cocoa Powder do to make | pint.
Rum Gill.
Iobacco 3 ounces per week.
Our fuel consisted entirely of spirits of
wine, of which two pints formed our daily
allowance, the cocoa being cooked in an
iron boiler over a shallow iron lamp with
seven wicks,-a simple apparatus which
answered our purpose remarkably WE'LL
We usually found one pint of the spirits of
wine sufficient for preparing our breakfast !;
that Is, for heating twenty weight pints of
water, though it always commenced from
the temperature of 80 deg. If the weather
was calm and fair, this quantity of fuel
brought it to the boiling point in about an
hour and quarter ; but more generally the

were. Such, with very little variation, was
our regular routine during the whole of this

earth has not yet seen. The stars would
show themselves stricken With the same
vertigo, and would henceforward become a
collection of terrific conjunctions. On a
sudden, the constellation of sumner would

POETRY.
From the Boston Statesman.
THE SPIRIT OF THE WINDS.


Thou actor perfect in all tragic sound!
Thou mighty poet cen to piirenzy bold
Oh viewless spirit well mays thou
Thy harp of power sweep lightly now,
Since not cloud of wrath has driven
Along the calm and starry heaven;
And quiet moonshine pale and chill
Is slumbering now on heath and hill.
Wild spirit of the chainless breeze
Thy course is on the trackless seas;
Thou startest from their treacherous sleep
The surges of the mighty deep;
And bendest on thy clouded throne
To smile on ruin all thine own.
In peace or wrath thou visitest
The deserts dark and sterile breast
The mountain eagles cold abode,
Where mortal foot hath never trod;
And cen the forest owns thy sway,
Whose oaks with age alone decay.
Unriyalld minstrel soft and low
On natures harp thou breathest now;
Faint steals thy music on the ear,
A sound that love itself might hear
A melody in mercy given,
70 lift the lowly thought to heaven.
love thy music-harper wild
I've lov'd it from a very child,
Whether as now, its cadence stole,
Like angel hisperings on my soul;
Or reused to murmurs wild and strong,
The tempest bore its tones along.
Thou'rt mighty-but that might was lent
Which wakes to sound thy element;
The overruling power that rides
The strong-winged hurricane, and guides
The tempest on the chainless sea
That pO,oer, alone, commissioned thee.

BLASTING RocKs


/ The Edinburgh Journal of Science contains
the following statement respecting new, and,
as it is considered, an improved method of blast
ing rocks.
A hole was bored about twenty-six inches
deep, and one and half inch diameter, in
a large block of greensboro. 1t was tried
to blast this rock with powder and loose
sand, and the latter was blown out. The
same quantity of powder was again put in,
and the mouth of the hole closed with a
wooden plug, about five inches long, with a
hole bored through it, and driven into the
aperture with mallet. Between the pow
der and the lower part of the plug an inter
val of several inches was left, and the COM
munication was perfected by means of tin
tube filled with powder, and passed through
the centre of the plug. On firing it the
rock was rent in every direction, to the dis
lance of four feet-and several large pieces
were detached, one of them weighing fully
a ton. The advantages are, that the plug
Is as safe and more efficacious than the
sand, and that with it, the charge, if it goes
out may be easily replaced; whereas, with
sand 1t becomes necessary to have recourse
to the tedious operation of again scooping
out the hole. The great effect produced,
is, conceive, chiefly owing TO the interval
left between the charge of powder and the
plug, as it is well known to sportsmen, that
gun viii burst, if the bali or charge is not
properly rammed down.

AN ENGLTsHMAN'S DESCRIPTION OIL
NEW ENGLAND FARMERS.

The whole country New England, U. 81
are going mad about manufactures, and
water powers and water privileges. New
England, however, does seem to be adj
mirably fitted for a manufacturing, and not
for an agricultural nation. There is not
much improvement in husbandry here,
property and comfort; and ali tie if rocEs
and rivers and woods of New England, are
swarming with healthy and happy children.
How they are fed God only knows for not
a thousandth part of the soil is properly
cultivated, and it is a difficult thing for a
farmer to sell enough from what is made on
his farm, or dairy OF poultry yard, to pay
his yearly taxes, which are little or nothing
And yet one never saw or heard of so happy
"a people. They are crowded with chill
dren-well educated, well clothed, healthy
children-with enough to eat and drink !;
with horse or two for every farm, few
sheep, few pigs, plenty of poultry, and two
or three yokes of fine cattle; and so far
from feeling poor, that in nine families out
of ten, they would think no more of adopt
ing stray child that might come in their
way, than most people would of giving it a
dinner.

ARABIAN DEL1cAcY. The extreme deli
cacy of Arab manners could not be better
illustrated than by the following lively anec-
dote Sc Among the numerous instances
which we observed during our stay at Ben
gazi illustrative of Arab character and
preiudices, we may notice one which occur
red in the skeefs Tor entrance-hal) of our
house, where select party of the inhabitants
of the town usually assembled themselves
when the weather permitted. On this oc
casion the women of England formed the
principal subject of conversation, and the
reports of beauty, which had reached some
of our visitors, appeared to have made a
great impression in their favor. One of our
party then produced miniature from his
pocket, which CHANGED to be the resem-
blance Of very pretty girl; and he roundly
asserted, as he handed it to the company,
that every woman in England was as hand
some. The first Arab of our party who
question, started back in dismay and con-
fusion and all his worthy .countrymen who
cast their eyes upon the picture withdrew
them, on the instant, in the greatest alarm,
exhibiting the strongest symptoms of aston
ishment and shame. The fact was, that
the young lady who had caused so much
confusion was painted in low evening
dress; and her face was only shaded by
the luxuriant auburn curls, which fell in
ringlets over her forehead and temples.
Every Arab who saw the picture actually
blushed and hid his face with his hands, ex-
claiming-w'Allah haram-(by Heaven tits
SIM to look upon such an exposure OF te-
male charms !''-Beecheys Travels.
SLEEpING IN CHURCH. will relate little
anecdote that recently occurred. A lady who
was very remarkable for her regular attendance
at church, was apparently ever quite engaged
in her devotional exercises, but in fact was only
taking her accustomed nap in one Of which
she quite amused the goodpeople and thcir nm
lister. While the preacher was preaching the
terrors of the law, and most Of his congregation
all attention, our lady being asleep as usual
dreamed she was at home attending to her do
nestle affairs she left her kitchen moment,
and returning found the chickens in her oread
tray she could contain no longer-but clap
ping her hands, and with voice ladies oRey use
at home, brawled out, she,o shea! :! steao
The attention of preacher and people was al
once directed to the point from whence such ar
unusual voice emanated and il is needless to say
that their risible powers were powerfully operat
ed on, and that it was many minutes before thcl
wero sufficiently composed to resume the sobe
exercises Of the day.-HdRcock Adp,
