captured a whale which had harpoon
in one of its fins similar to those used in
the South Pacific; and this happened in
a region where, as Captain Hall says,
"the sail of an American or European
vessel had never been given to the wind
before" In May Captain Hall hopes
to make clear passage to the undiscov-
cred pole and learn all necessary infor-
nation concerning that region, about
which so much has been conjectured, and
for which so many noble lives have been
sacrificed. He also assured the captain
of the Meerbek tina. if the future role
of the expedition, then conceived by
him and strongly believed to be easily
practicable, would not be interrupted
by unforeseen accidents, the Polaris would
be at home next September, after having
achieved the renowned object of its ad-
venturous voyage. Apart from the leak
occasioned by sharp berg of ice beneath
the surface of the water, Polaris looks
trim and sound. Since her departure
from New York she has not lost rope,
spar or an inch of canvass. The health
of all on board has been considerably
improved by the trip, and those who
were of meagre build have grown as
shapely as they desire. Capt. Hall as
serts that if there be any habitable land
in the vicinity of the North Pole it will
be the ne plus ultra of salubrious eli.
mates, and his only fear is that he and
his men may have to encounter new
and formidable race of human beings.

BEAUTY OF OLD PE1PLE.-Men and
women make their own beauty or their
own ugliness. Lord Lytton speaks in
one of his novels of man "who was
uglier than he had any business to be !"
and if he could but read it, every hu-
man being carries his life in his face,
and is good looking or the reverse as
that life has been good or evil On our
features the fine chisel Of thought and
emotion are eternally at work. Beauty
is not the monopoly of blooming young
men and of pink and white maidens.
There is sIow-growing beauty which
only comes to perfection in old age
Grace belongs to no period of life, and
goodness improves the longer it exists.
| have seen sweeter smiles from lip Of
seventy than upon lip of seventeen.
There is the beauty of youth and the
beauty of holiness-a beauty much more
