From Halls Arctic Expcdisien.

The New York Journa Of ton;merc.
gives some facts from Mr.. Grinnelrs cores
pondence with G. r. Hall, the great Arctic
explorer. Mr.. Halls last letter is dated Re.
pulse Bay, August -, 1867, in which he
says:
" 1t gives me pleasure to state that at last
succeeded in getting FIVE. men who be.
lieve will prove faithful in the hazardous
work have before me to do, to wit: to tigh,
our way to King Williams Land, to fgh.
our way back again. Mr.. Hall had supplied
himself with all things necessary for the es-
petition frdh. tie whaleships that had visit,
ed Repulse Bay, and he would winter for the
third winter at Repulse Bay, and in April,
1868. start on his iourney.to King William $
Land Capt. kilmer, Of one Of the whale
ships that left Repulse Bay in August last,
in reply to letter from Nr. Grinnell. states
" You ask if think Mr.. Hall will reach
King Williams Land. l certainly do, and
think he will do it well. let him have
three men, and he got two from another ship,
which makes his party eight, including Jos
and Hannah tEsquimaux.) | consider Mr..
Hall we'll qualified for the undertaking. and
doubt not he will do credit to bims elf and
all those who are interested in him.

those who have but little money mn-t
plan their own houses, perhaps build
them. The popular method Of coi,ni.
strutt.ng wood houses, particularly
cottages, has not been by any means
the most cconoHical that can be dc.
vised. From thirty to forty per cei,l.
more Timber has been used than i,

those two inches in thickness. Just
so the floor joists may be of inch stuf
eight inches vide. Having laid up
the cellar walls Of stone and leveled
them at the top, boards should be laid
on this vail to form a sill. The bents
of the frame may then be set up, one
after another. and stayed till the 81

be made op the floor, joisf, studs, cross

piece Of siding nailed to this frame
tends to make it firmer and sitter.

mortar is to be spread. The parti-
tions made in ike manner, veil sccur.

port in the cellar, such . house, wl:en

for all practical purposes ~ one Of

tainly be just a. warm. A cottage

ly constructed on this principle It
much less cost than in the popular
style Of building. This is 4 subs,aiiii,

constructed on leased lands abotit
Chicago, and they are deemed very
comfortable and their strength and

1t may be laid doan as q general
rule that anusements which seperate
the sexes are dangerous. would
not press the truth too narrowly and
literally but Undoubtedly it is gen
eral truth tha. where women seek
their amusements in one way by tEem-
selves, and men seek theirs in aHoth-
er way by themselves, there is in both
ways q tendency to degeneration and
temptation. God meant that man and
woman should live together, work to-
gether. and, in all the functions OF
i,fe-c;yil, social. religious, artistic,
and Acknowledgements with each
other: and their mutual relations are
harinonizins and balancing, and no.
where else more than in the seeking
and prosecution Of amusements. |
believe that boys and girls should 60
to school together. As they sit to-
gether in the household, SO I think
they should sit together in our tenn
pies oflearning- Colleges should not
be for all men or for oil women, but
the same buildings and tie same pro-
fessors should be provided for both ID
coynmon. And ~ it Is in everything
else, SO should t be in amusements.
There is much greater liability to
temptation and immortality where
amusement is sought in the isolation
or separation of the sexes,
Therefore, all exhibitions Of pic.
lures ard statues, all provisions for
public recreation. all institutions for
public amusements, should be such as
to enable the people T. SO in groups
and families.
I do not think amusements can be
good generally, in a community in
which a man is ashamed to take his
whole family to them. lfthere is any
thing Won would not like your wife
and children to participate in with
you, the presumption is that it is
wrong: and it there is anything yon
would ,ike them to participate in with
you. the presumption is that it is right,
And this might be made a rule of
Judgment far more widely than it now
is.-H W Beecher.

THE INDEPENDENT FAR MEm.

Let sailor. sing cf the windy deep,
Let soldiers PRAISE their arnor,
But in my heart this toast will keep
The Independent Farmer.
When fret the rose in robe Of green
Cnfolds its crimson lining,
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honey suckle twining;
When banks Of gloom their swectness yisl'
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field,
Where skies age soft and sunny.
The blackbird clucks behind the plough,
The quail pipes loud and clear,
Yon orchard hides behind its bough
The home he loves so dear:
The gray and old barn doors unfold
Ills ample store in measure,
More rich than heaps Of boarded gold,
A precious, blessed treasure;
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose On all his lands
The Independent Farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancingly,
To him the Summer bushes,
The Autumn smiles with mellow ray,
His sleep old Winter bushes
Ic cares not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him
His little hock are linked in lore,
And household angels round him;
lie trusts to God and loves his wife,
Nor griefs nor ills may harm her;
Hes Natures nobleman in life

AyONYhors.
Back from the misty realms Of Time,
Back from the years sgonc.
Faintly we catch the ringing rhyme,
And hear the melody and chime
OF olden songs, Of strains sublime,
Like carol of birds at dawn.
And ever We hea, them. soft and low,
Harping their music sweet.
Songs that We lotei in the long age,
Ripping their liquid cbb and fow,
Drifting their cadence to and fro,
Like fall Of fairy feet.
Some faces our hearts will ever hold,
Some smiles We remember yet
There were fowiag locks like the sunsets gold
There were parted lips Of Cupid's mould.
And the songs thy sang can nc'er grow old,
For our hearts can nr'er forget.
The tunes that the voice Of girlhood sung,
The chords thst we loved full well
When hopes were buoyant, hearts were young,
When fairy bells in the flower cups rung.
And ever fell from = inaiden's tongue
The words Of witching spell.
All, we'll day tis story past,
Which l may not tell again,
Twas happiness too sweet to last;
The heavy ciods on her grave are cast.
And her voice is s;illed. and above her falls
Falls the summer rain !.
