THE MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGAN.
after MANY improvements and modifica-
fiops has now reached that degree of per-
lection in construction, and that moderate
ness of cost that bring it within the reach
of many who could not afford the expense
of a good piano. No musical family in
prosperous circumstances, should fail to
possess one of these beautiful instruments,
which will prove at once an ornament to
the room, a means of education to the
young people, and an unfailing and mex
pensive resource in social and solitary

CURE FOR CHoLERA.-The following story

remedies, and called again next day, when
he was informed that Crispin was cured /;
in fact so well was he, he had gone to work.
"Indeed l'' said the doctor, s'that is well,
you see my prescription has answered ad-
mirably."

EXPLORING GREENLAND.

Edward Whymper, the Distinguished Alp
cimber, he's started on a tOer OF observation
FOR Greenland. He has arri.ed at Copen,

The inter or Of Greenland is at present en-
tirely unknown, and no serious attempt has
ever been made 10 explore it. The two Or
ihree excursions which have been made by
Danes toward the interior during the pre-. en'
century have experienced 10 greater difh-
culties than might be expected from Inade-
quate time and mper;ec; means. Dr. Hayes
has. however, on more thaa one occasion,
made excursions toward the interior, with
considerable success. aud has managed to
travel occasionally az much as thirty five or
forty miles il day There il no reason to
suppose tina; the interior presents extraordi-
mar. difficulties for iraveiing, and there IS
good reason 20 believe that il IS someth.n 6
better than a dreary waste Of &c. and snow.
Not only are traditions 10 be met with on
every hand among the Greenianders that the

almost a certainty BY the fact thai the count
