GREENLAND.

IN a country where there is no govern
ment, and where they know nothing of laws,
religions or rehuements, the weed mankind,
of course, takes It's natural bent and deyel-
oPmenis Greenland is such place, aud
work lately published gives an account of
il which Is exceedingly curious. From an
able digest of II IN the Tribune we extract
passage or two. First. the physlque:-
THE Greenlanders are of stout build,
below the medium height, have broad, fiat
faces, inexpensive eyes, small noses, thick
under-llps. aud coarse black hair, which
hangs over their brown faces Their skin
is nevertheless, rather fair than dark, but
appears brown IN consequence OF It's hthI-
ness, and gives out repulsIye, fifty smell
which is almost lnsupportable to Europeans.
In the southern part, we see more slender
figures, more agreeable faces. aud more ex-
pressYe eyes. The Greenlander is law,
aud Indifferent TO what takes place around
him, but, in general, cheerful and wel-dIs-
posed. He seldom involves himself IN a
quarrel, or even comes To hot words. lie
is changeabe, troubles himself only about
his nearest interests or his absolute neces-
sites, and when he has chance, delights
in sleeping night and day. The vanity Of
these people is very striking. According
to their opinion, all other people are inierr
or 90 them, aud when they wish TO praise a
stranger, they say. lie is as well instruct
ed as We or, lie begins to be an lnnuit.
Crimes or acts of violence seldom occur
whoever injuries another, is publicly scotfed
at aud scorned, for the Greenlanders have
d strong inclination 10 satire and a biting
tongue The Norwegian Missionary Egede
who settled among them in the year 1871
had to bear great deal in the commence
ment of his labours. They compared hi

The author thus describes their habifo
fioRs:

cumstance that they need nothing OF IN

THE ASTRONOMY OF MOSES.

Professor Mitchell gave an exposition of
the ihIrty-eighth chapter oithe book of Job,
in his course of lectures at Brooklyn, on
Monday evening last. He remarked, that
the book Can be proved to have been writ
ten at least 5000 years ago, before science
was horn; and If II could be shown that 1t
contained no mistakes, no unmeanlng or
foolish questions It would be evident that
the author of II must have knowledge be-
yond that of the times in which it was writ
ten. A man who should attempt to ask
questions on a science Of which he was ig-
norant, would be quite as likely to PROFOUND
simple as sensible inquiries. Now look at
the nature of the question which the Lord
is represented as putting to job out of the
whirwind.
Where was thou when laid the foun-
datIon of the earth ? Whereupon are the
foundations thereof fastened p This sub
lime question remains unanswered to the
present hour. We say the law of gravta-
ton holds IT in lis circuit round the sun.-
But what is that Law We have TO come
back to the answer, il is the ,OiH of God.
Who shut the sea with doors :" &c.-
/ The nice adjustment OF the sea TO its Inn
2 It's Is one pl Tue most WONDERFUL Oh All iHt
works Of God. Were its specific gravity
changed, so as to be tenth part lighter than
it now is, the next time the sun and moon
drew il toward them, it would be dashed
over the tops of the highest mountains.
Hast thou commanded the morning
since thy days, and caused the day-spring TO
know its place 2" This is gseat question.
We know, that for 1000 years the reyolu-
ton OF the earth on IT'S axis has been SO
steady aud uniform, that 1t has not varied
a hundredih part OF a second of time; and
God has employed this perfect regularity
as an illustration oiiallhiulness to his prom
Uses to his people. He does not represent
his own undergraduates by reference to
the polar star, for we find that IN the course
of thousands of years that does change Its
relative position 10 the earth. But the day
spring knows Its place, and never fails,
lhorugh successive generations, to come al
the appointed time
"Where is the way where light dweieth'

to the house thereofW This inquiry leads
us to the origin of light, and whether we
receive the theory Of its being material or
not Il is alike incomprehensiblc. Where

and still the ligh: is travelling towards MS,
aud we have not reached the spot which
man has penetrated with his telescopeic ia
slrumenls We have never traced the light
to its source. We are no nearer the dis
coyery than when we first set out.
Canst thou bind the sweet influences
of Plei7des, or loose the bands of Orion ?"
The ancients marked the seasons by the
heiacal rising with the sum Of certain
stars The Pleiades marked the approach
Of the sun with its flowers The vernal
equinox is not stationary; but we know
that at that time, 1t must have occupied

years must have passed since the rising Of
Pleiadcs with the sun announced the COM
ing of the spring. Here is proof of the
great antiquity Of this book, and Of the
knowledge of IT'S author The Lord asks of
job if he could bind this constellation to
keep II back, or loose the bands of Orion ;
that is, diminish the rigor Of winter
The learned lecturer then pursued the
same line of inquiry with other asironomi-
cal illusions in other parts of the Bible, aud
from them deduced an irreiragable argu-
ment in favor of the trulhluness and wis
dom OF the author Of the book We have
indicated the laniest outline of his train of
remark, which held large assembly in
profound attention for the space of an hour
