| ARCTIC REGloNs.-A late number of tn
London Foreign Quarterly Review make
known for the first time to English readers
some OF the particulars of the Russian Elk
plorlng Expedition to the Northern Arct
ocean. Ii was conducted by land-that is b,
land conveyances, sledges and dogs, owe
the ice, and often considerable distanc,
from the shore, under the charge of Lieute.
nant Van Wranzcl, and occupied nearly five
years, amidst the severest hardships.-Tht
suierings of the party from cold, even in the
mIld season, were very distressing. AS a
sign of the severity of the cold, it is stated
that in one of their night encampments
muilled up and protected by extra clothing
and turS, ice was formed .etween their stock
ngs on their t..., from the vapor thrown of
by '17f skin; chronometcrs were useless,
,ue drop of oil within the works could not be
kept fluid by any precaution, in tempera-
ture of 40 degrees below the zero of Reaumur.
The zero Of Reaumur is the freezing point or
80 of Fahrenheit-but each degree of Reau-
muir is equal to gig of Fahrenheit, SO that
40 degrees below the freezing poin of Reau-
muir is So degrees below the zero of Fab
renheit.
The result of the expedition may be gene
rally stated as having traced the boundaries
of Asia in their highest northern latitude, and
connecting with the English discoveries and
examination, as demonstrating continuous
sea or eXpansc Of water of indefinite extent
bounding the continents on the north and en-
tirely round the world. The problem re-
naming to be solved is, whether there be in
still higher northern attitudes, beyond the
bolt ofice which skirts this coast, Polar con-
tnent or large body Of land. 1t has been
found in all attitudes, that beyond compa-
ratively small distance from the coast, the
Polar sea is always open and free of ice.
This distance rarely exceeds sixteen English
miles, and the concurrent reports of the nd
lives of those frozen regions, of different
tribes in the high Siberian, as well as in the
American ATTITUDES, lead to the impression
hat there is land, not many miles across this
water, and around the poles of the earth.
One of the natural curiosites which this
'egion has presented to every traveller, is
particularly noticed in the accounts of Van
Nranzers expedition. 1t is the prodieious |
quantity of the bones of the mammoth which
re found. The farther north, the greater is
no quantity, and some Of the Asatic article
Stands are found to be composed of little
more than mass Of mammoth bones For

eighty years Siberian traders have been CON-
veying them away by ship loads, and they
arc stillapparently undminished. The phe-
nomenon the existence in this inhospitable
cline, of immense multtudes of these hcrbi-
verous warm blooded animals, appears along
the whole northern coast Of Asia and Ame-
RIGA, and affords scope for great deal Of
scientific speculation upon the natural history
of the earth, and the most curious branches
of geology.-Mobilc Journal.

THE POETS SONG.

Oh tell me not that life is dreps.
Where poverty has place
IT'S not the richest tints that make
The sweetest smiling face.
What, then, if fortune does not smile.
IT'S little could use
The world to me is all contained
Within my heart and muse.
Can riches soolhe the aching brow,
Or calm the sorrowcd heart?
No! III contcntment's happy balm
That heals the painful smart
Then if no worldly wealth to pride,
Nor riches so proiuse,
hnvea store far dcarer vet
1t is my heart and muse.
OFT we well knew the crowned head,
An aching brow il wears,
While poverty without its pearls,
Is also void of cares.
Give me but visions bright and sweet,
All other gifts refuse
Content with but poets fame,
And with my heart and muse.

DY WILLIAM G. GRYA

DY WILLIAM c. BRYANT.
Upon rock that high and shear
Rose from the mountains breast,
weary hunter Of the deer
Had set him down to rest,
And baro1, 10 the soft summer air.
HIS red not brow and sweaty hair.
All dim in haze the mountains lay,
With DINNER wales between,
And rivers plimmercd on their way
BY forests family seen,
While ever rose a murmuring sound
From brooks below and bees around.
He listened, till he seemed to hear
A voice 50 soft and low,
That wethor in the mind or car,
The listener scarce might know,
With such tone, so sweet ard mild,
The watching mother lulls her child.
"Thou weary hun,smnn" thus i, said,
Thou faint vii il toll and heat!
The pleasant land of rest is spread
Before my very feet
And those whom thou wouldst gladly sec
Are waiting there to welcome thee
He looked, and 'twixt the earth and sky,
Amidst the noontide haze,
A shadowy region met his eye,
And grew beneath his gaze;
As If Aie yapors Of the air,
Had gathered into shapes SO fair,
Groves frcshencd as he looked, and flowers
Showed bright On rocky bank,
And fountains swellei beneath the bowers
Wh2re deer and pheasant drank.
He saw the glittering streams; he heard
The rus,ling Dough, and twittcrng bird.
And frionds-thc dcad-in boyhood dear,
There lived and walked again;
And there was one who many year
Within her grave had lain,
A fair young girl, the regions pride
His heart was breaking when she died,
Bounding, rs was her won't she came
Right toward his resting place.
And stretched his hand, and called his nume,
With sweet and smiling face.
Forward, with fixed and eager eyes,
The hunter leaned in act to rise
FORWARD ne leaned, and hendlong down
Plunged from that craggy wall;
ne saw the rocks, deep, stern, and brown,
An instant, in his fall
fearful instant, and no moro
The dream and life at once were Ger.

THE DYING HEBREWS PRAYER.

a HEBnEw knclt, in the dying light,
His eye was dim and cold,
The hairs on his brow were silver white,
And his blood was thin and old
He lllcd his eyes to his latest sun,
For he knew that his pilgrimage was donc!-
And as he saw Gods stad0p there,
His spirit poured itself in player:
az come unto deaths second birth.
Beneath stranger air,
A pilgrim on n dull cold earth,
As all my fathers werel
And men have stamped me with curse
l feel it is not Thine.
Thy mercy-like yon sun--was made
On me as thcm--to shine;
And, therefore, dare lift mine eye
Through that, to thcc,-bcfore die!
"Tn this great temple built by thee
Whose affairs are divine
Beneath yon lamp thai, carelcssy,
Lights up thine own true shrine,
Oh! take my latest sacrifice
Look down and make this sod
Holy as that where, long ago.
The Hebrew met his God!
~ have not counted the Widows tears,
Nor dimmed the orphan eve,
have not sta ned the virgins years.
Nor Knocked tie nlourncrs cry;
The songs of Zion in mine ear,
Have ever boon most sweet,
And a. ways when feel thee near,
My shoes were off my feet:
81 have known Thee in the whirlwind,
have known Thee Ohio hill,
Z have loved The in the voice ofbirds,
Or the music of the r
I dreamt Thee in thee shadow,
saw Thee in the light,
l heard Thee in the thunder neal
And worshipped, in the night;
All beauty while it spoke Of Thee,
Still made my soul rejoice,
And my spirit bowed within ITSELF
To hear Thy still small voiccr
Ihars not felt mysclfa thing
Far from Thy presence driven,
BY flaming sword or waving wing
Shut out from Thee and Heaven!
"Must the whirlwind reap, because
Ny father sowed the storm!
Or shrink-bccause another snned--
Beneath thy mighty arm?
Oh much of this we daily scan,
And'much is all unknown;
But will not take my curse from man,
turn to thee alone!
Oh bid my ininting spirit live,
And what s dark reveal
And what is evil oh forgive,
And what is broken heal,
ANA cleanse my nature from above,
In the deep Jordan of thy love.
~ know not il the Christians heaven,
Shall be the same as mine,
I only ask to be forgiven,
And taken home to thine!
! wander OH far, dim strand,
Whose mansions are as tombs
And long to find the fathcr-and
Where there are many hones!---
Oh! grant, fall thy starry thrones,
Some dim and distant star,
Where Judah's lost and scattered sons
May love thee from ATARI
Where all carih's myriad harps shall meet
In choral praise and prayer.
Shall Tion's harp,-of old, so sweet
Alone, be wanting therel
Yet place nc in thy lower seat,
Though las now-be, there,
Tho Christians scorn, the Christians jest;
But let me see and hear,
From some dim mansion in the sky.
Thy bright ones, and their melody"

Of more than ordinary mind and talent and was ex-
tensiyely known as gentleman ofgreat moral worth
and irreproachable character. lie was among The
first settlers ofWalworth county where in connection
with his brother he purchased large tract of land
on which he founded the present lourishng village
of Deiavon. Unlike the projectors of most other
towns in the west, tho object of speculation formed
no part Of his plan. With spirit Of true christian
philanthropy he determined upon building up n own
where vice and immortality should never find a rest
ing place, SO far human instrum6atality world
prevent their introduction
During the brief space of three years, since the
first settlement of the town, he has seen his phian-
llorc enterprise exempliied TO his full satisfaction;
and it remains for his brother, T. X Phoenix, who is
a joint proprietor in the town and gentleman of
WORTH to carry forward the we'll begun enterprise.
Coz. PhGnN was possessed of an aufp fortune, and
liberal donor To the benevolent enterprises of
the day. The abundance of his means was ever rea-

he has been called to reap The rich reward that aWaI
