FEARS FOR THE SAFETY OF AN ARCTIC
ExPEDITIoN.-Greatf fears are entertained
for the safety Of Swedish expedition sent
out under the direction of Professor Nor
denskoild. the well. known Arctic explorer,
with a view OF passing the winter at Spitz-
bergen, and discovering from that point
the open Polar sea. In the last days of
August the EXPEDITION, consisting of three
vessels, the P0lhem GladaR, Onkel
ADAMS. was at the Norwegian islands on
the northern side of Spitzbergen, and, as
the northeastern island of the archipelago,
was unapproachable on account Of ice, the
leaders resolved to enter the Hinlopen
Sound, between that Island and Spitzber-
gen, with the view Of reaching Lommebay.
The PoLheD1 with the GLadan in tow, was
seen to pass, on the 1st of September,
Verlegenhuk, the northermost post of
Spitzbergen $50 deg. lat.), and two days
after the Onkel Adam passed the same
point 1t must have been the intention Of
the leaders to make Lommebay their
winter quarters, and to fulfil this the
Gladan and OnkeI Adam would have to
unload their cargo and return IS soon as
possible, only the Polkem being provided
for wintering. But telegram sent on
the 30th Of October, from the Governor
Of Tromso to the Norwegian Department
of the Interior, state that nothing what
ever has been heard since the beginning OF
September OF the two vessels, and 1t is
feared that they are together with six
Norwegian sealers, caught by the ice. If
that should be the case, it is supposed that
the men have left the vessels and taken to
the boats, and that they have sought refuge
on the western coast of Spitzbergen,
where they have some chance as yet Of ind.
ing open waters. As rather more than
one hundred live are at stake, the Norwe-
gian government has resolved to send out
from Tonsberg one of the steamers built
for whaling and sealing, and as the ship
wrecked are sure to have shaped their
course to certain well-known places on the
coast, some hope may be entertained of
their being saved.-Fronr the London

LIFE IL TIE RURAL DisTRIcT Richard
Elders paper in LipyiacOtk-s Naya>tne
for December, called A Day or Two IN
Southside Virginia contains tins lively
sketch Of manners and customs IN the Old
ID Iminion:
OF course we had supper-country with
out supper is body withOuta soul but not q g
bisculty and chickeny supper as the night
before, and consequently had less bellir-
ereut time OF it after / retired But why
the Southsije mind be afflicted with the de
lirium Of feather beds in August is a prob
lem which, We say in Virginia, pro
cures me.
One OF the young gentlemen rose from tie
table and announced his purpose OF sleeping
with the wheat IL was 10 an open shed,
and liable to be stolen. Wien We had
lighted pipes IN the porch | askeI the
meaning of thus.

two hands regularly, engaging others by the
day Whenever there is press OF work NV
former slaves have all lett me, aud am
rather aft aid to trust these fellows. Be
sides, want my boys to become Injured to

Think Of that only two hands on a farm
of eleven hundred acres And IN the house,
where the servants used 70 be in each others
aay, there was but one woman. Much of
the work was done by the young ladies'

took two long walks before 1 left E1ge-
wood-one to see the old lady " 10 lived at
the mill, and the other to the Knob, a mIle
OF more away. The good dame at the mill
smoked a friendly pipe with me, chatting the
while about her changed circumstances but
not repining bit. A worthy negro man
not only attended the mill but worked the
farm on shares, his wife doing the cooking
and washing.
Aud do you really live here alone, with
out a white male person nearer you than
half mile ?"
.'Oh yes said she, "and get along very
well People talk about negroes stealing,
but have lost only one pig, and L believe
that died or got drowned III the creek. Old

aud very good ones, too. My only tear Is
that the cook will induce her husband to
move TO town, and then | know not what
will become of me. Poor as 1t is, love my
home, and will cling to 1t as long as lite

The last sentence put me in a melancholy
frame, which IL e walk to the Knob by no
means diminished. There is point on the
road which overlooks the plantations OF the

besides the internal use of drinks made OF
the spruce and tar water so long in vogue
we had inhalations of tar and OF various
resins. The ancients did, indeed, recon-
mend in govt baths of water in which &C.
dar wood had been boiled, but the use OF
pine extract bath is quite modern. 1t has
spread rapidly, and is in use at Glels-
weller, Rehburg, Diebeustein, Rubla, and
Eisenach. These aromatic extracts are
procured from various pines-as from the
Abies excelsa, or Norway spruce, silver
FIR, Pinus sylvestris or Scotch fir, Pinus
martina or Bordeaux pine, the Weymouth
pine, also from the common larch, and the
most fragrant Of all from 2. pumllio, the
mountain pine. The baths very consider
ably in strength and in odor, according to
the way in which they are prepared. The
commonest way of making the bath is by
adding to common water a certain quantity
of the decoction got by passing steam
through the young pine tops.-Lo7adO1

PINE TREES AS MEDICAL AGENTs.-Al-
though some forests are regarded as sources
of malaria, and oak trees and hazel
bushes have been counted insalubrious in
Europe, like the tamarind tree in the
East, yet the air of pine tree forest ap.
pears always grateful to the lungs, and
has been considered wholesome, although
Of its absolute curative influence there is
little evidence, and, indeed, it must be
d fficult to procure such. The idea of
pine forests exercising a balmy influence
on the lungs is very ancient one. Pliny
considered that the air of the pine forests
was more useful in phthisic and in conva-
lescence from acute diseases than the
voyage to Egypt recommended in such
cases in those days. Both Bournemouth
and Arachon at the present day owe a
good deal OF their reputation to their pine
woods. The air of the latter is said to be
distinctly sedative. On the who e then
the air of the pine woods of the Black
Forest may be regarded as an element en-
teriDg into the consideration of the value
of It's path.
But besides merely inhaling the air of
Its forests, people have of late years made
much use of the products of pine in baths,
vapor baths and inhalations. Even this
is not entirely mojern; for the ancients
recommend chiefly the internal use OF de
coctions OF strobili and of pine tops, and
thought pine nuts very useful in diseases
of the chest and at a mere modern time,

WOMAN IN JAPAN.-The cause of wo-
mans rights is advancing in Japan The
ladies' of the higher classes are allowed
frequently to drive or walk out in Yeddo.
The education of women is a fixed yet ad
vancing fact, and already nearly dozen
girls schools, taught by foreign ladies' have
been established in the capital. But the
great event of the year is the removal OF
the restriction hitherto preventing them
from ascending Fusiyania. Every year
thousands Of pilgrims travel from afar, in
bands, with bells, banners, drums, and in
white robes and ascend the peerless noun
tain One day last year an American gen
tleman counted nearly eight hundred on
the crater's top. This year scores Of native
women assembled the sacred ash heap. An
unusual number of foreigners also ascend
ed this year, and several photographs OF
the crater were obtained by Dr. George
Elliot of Yokohama. The crater, which
is about four miles and half in diameter,
is not very deep, and the irregular edges
are blocks Of black and dark brown lava.
The sacred mountain is always populous
with pilgrims, priests and feas.

Without more ado my little nephew
captured my coal-shovel, and sailed forth
into the back yard and |, thinking no
more OF the matter than to smile, and

about my moring duties.
About an hour afterward, as | was pass
Ing through the childrens room, which
0verlooks the yard, heard a little voice
calling out
"Auntie Eft, do 1 look sunfowery
I've g-owed here a good while "
Aud, sure enough, ankle-deep in the
sand stood the little Que, holding fast with
all the strength of his dimpled hands to
the stalk of large sunfower, strong in
faith Of com ng up soon.
My first impulse was to laugh but the
perfectly earnest little face below, looking
50 ;rustiDgly up into mine, checked my
mirth; and calling out that | would come
aud see how he Locked, went out into the
yard.
Fearful of hurting the little fellows
feelings, gently told him that l couldn't
see that he looked much different and
brushing the sand from the little feet l
took Kim in my lap, and told him how
much better off ne was to be happy little
boy, with a nice papa and mamma and
| baby brother, and dear aunte, and be
able to run around aud play, than to be a
-uufower, and be obliged to just stand still
II the yard all the time. He seemed sat
isfied, and IN fact was quite resigned to
being little boy, when L wound up my
argument by Offering him very attractive
looking cOoky.
As [ sat watching him, couldn't help
thinking. Not so far out of the way, little
one for we all plant ourselves, whether we
mean to or not Boys, girls, what do you
expect to come up? Let me tell you this
Ii you plant yourselves in disobedience
and untruthfulness, and hold on to bad
words and cross looks, you will surely
come UP to be i'll weeds, disgrace to
society, a disappointment to your friends,
and a burden 10 yourselves; but il you are
planted in gentleuess and goodness, and
hold fast 10 loving words and kind deeds,
then, through grace, may you come up to
bear good fruit, and in the last great
e harvest home be gathered with the
rjDe sheaVes into the storehouse Of our
Father Young Pilgrim.
