LIFE IN THE Polar REeIoNs-

LIFE IN THE POLAR REsIoNs.-
Mr.. R. C. Weld, in a letter 10 the
London Times, gives The following
TO show that life may be sustained
for long time in the polar regions,
and that Sir John Franklin and his
companions may still survive:
Ir the year l743, four Russian sal
lors, forming part OF crew oi four
teen men, went in a small vessel TO
fish for whales on the east coast oil
Spilzbergen. By some unfortunate
accident, the ship sailed away, leav-
ing the above four men on that drea-
ry island. Their entire stock, at the
time OF this disaster, consisted of a
small bag ol meal, musket, pow
der twelve charges of amuni-
ton, an axe, a knife, small kettle, a
stove, a piece Of tonchwood, a tobac-
CO box and four pipes. The men
were not overwhelmed by their ca
lnmity, but Instantly sci about TO
provide for their future wants. The
wreck OF ship which they found on
the shore, supplied them with fuel,
and the twelve charges of powder
and ball procured them as many
reindeer, which were numerous on
the island. With nails, extracted
from a piece of ship-iimber, they
made three lances, whereVith they
killed a bear, and with the strong
tendons Of the bear they strung and
strengthened piece of crooked drift
wood, which they converted into
bow. With this, and the arrows
which they easily made, they killed,
during their stay OF six years on the
island, $50 reindeer, 10 bears, and
vast quantity oil foxes; and when
they were at length relieved by a
vessel which touched Unexpectedly
at the island, they were able to pay
for their passage home with 200 lbs.
of hear fat, and many hides Of the
animals which they had slain.
One Of their number, very in
dolent man, who, from the begin
ming, had eschewed almost every
kind of exertion, died Of scurvy,
while the other three found health
in their daily active emplOyments

A Two MILLION DOLLAR FORGERY
A short time since the National Bank
of Buenos Ayres paid out two mil.
lions OF dollars on a forged order
A man named Andres VilIegas. of a
respectable family, presented an or
der purporting TO be from the Gov
ernor, for two millions Of dollars
The forgery was so good that none
of the officers suspected it. and they
promptly paid him. Subsequently
they sent word TO the Governor that
they hai cashed the order, when to
their amazement they were told il
was a forgery.
The police found the foreer who
had exchanged some of the notes
for gold. He made confession and
on he next morning was taken to
the courtyard OF the public prison
and summarily executed.

PUNcTUALITY.-Ahl that's the
word-punctuaIity! did you eveI
see a man who was punctual, who
did moi prosper in the long rum
We don't care who or what he wa:
high or low, black or white, igno.
rant or learned, sava-e or civilized
we know il he did as he agreed
and was punctual in all his engage
ments, he prospered, and was more
respected than his shiitless, lying
neighbors.
Men who commence business
should be careful how they neglect
their obligations, and break their
word. A person who is prompt can
always accommodate, and is, there
lore, "lord over another mans
purse" as Franklin would say
Never make promises upon uncer
tainties. Although the best men
may sometimes fail TO do as they
would the case is exceedingly rare.
He who is prompt to fulfil his word
will never make a promise where it
is notnext TO a moral certainty that
he can do as he agrees. II you
would succeed, be punctual to the
hour. Return borrowed money the
moment you promised. In all
things, il you are thus prompt, we
will risk you through life: you will
succeed-you cannot help it. Those
who are prompt in their business
affairs, are generally so in every de-
partment of life. You never know
them TO be late at church. to the
polls. or TO pay the printers for
advertising. A promptness in every
Thing characteristics them.

Of the most afflicting ones it has
ever been our duty TO record. By
letters found in the possession Of the
deceased il appears that he preceded
his family TO this country in order
to find employment and secure a
home. This had been done and he
laid by money enough with what
his vile could raise in England TO
bring his family. The most affec-
ting letters from his wife were upon
his person, urging him to hasten pre-
parations, as her health was decli.

gether much longer. He came TO
this city and put up at the Farmers
Hotel, on River street.
On Wednesday night while asleep
his chamber was entered and his
pockets rifed, leaving him less than
dollar in change, his family in Eng
land, himself hundreds of miles from
any acquaintances. He arose broken
hearted and utterly despondent.-
He remained at the hotel in hopes to
get some clue to the robber. On
Friday night, he retired in the
gloomiest Of spirits, and was found
dead in his bed on Saturday morning.
A post mortem examination was
held and the doctors decided that
his immediate death was caused by
apoplexy of the heart, induced or
expedited by his recent trouble

That faculty, which we call ..hear-
ing" can be as well conveyed 10 the
mind by means of the teeth as the
ear. Curious as this assertion may
appear, it is easy 10 prove il by the
following simple experiment:
Lay watch on a table, glass side
downwards; then stand so Tar from
il that you cannot 10 the ordinary
way hear the ticking. Now place
one end of a small dead stick (say six
feet long) upon the back OF the
watch, and grip the teeth to the 9TH
er; with the fingers close each ear,
to exclude all external noise; the beat
of the watch will then be as audible
as if placed against the ear. All 9TH
er sounds can be conveyed in the
same manner, no matter how long
the stick is; for instance, il one end
is placed upon the piano forte in the
sitting room facing the garden, and
the stick is thirty or forty feet long,
extending to the farther end OF a
lawn or walk: now If the instrument
is ever so lightly played, "the tune"
will be instantly distinguished by any
person applying their teeth TO the op-
posite end of the stick,
