When a man's life is heroic, and his name has passed into history, the world wants to know him personally, intimately. The "grave and reverend chronicler," passing over his beginnings, presents him abruptly in his full-grown greatness; men render the admiration earned, but the sympathetic emulation awakened is concerned to know how he grew into his maturity of excellence. This curiosity isnot an idleness of the fancy, but a personal interest in the facts that springs out of those aspirations which put every man upon the fulfilment of his own destiny. How came this man to excel— what was in him—what happened to develop it? "Some man are born great; some achieve greatness; some have greatness thrust upon upon them." How came this man by id— Is it within my reach also? and, by what means? History provokes us with such que ries as these: Biography answers, them. Dr. Elisha Sent Kane circumnavigate the globe; he has visited t and traversed India, Africa, Europe, South America, the islands of the Pacific, and twice penetrated the Arctic region to the highest latitude attained by civilized man. Ile has encountered the extremest perils of sea and land, in every climate of the globe; he has discharged in turn the severest duties of the soldier and the seaman; attached to the United States Navy as n surgeon; ho is, nevertheless, engaged at ono time in the coast survey of the tropical ocean, and in a month or two, we find him exploring the frigid zone; and all the while that his per sonal experiences had the character of roman tic adventure, he was pushing them in the spirit of scientific and philanthropic enter prise. As a boy, his instinctive bent impelled him to the indulgence and enjoyment of such adventures as were best fitted to train bins for the work before him. His collegiate studies suffered SOl/10 postponement while his physical qualities pressed for their ne cessary training and discipline. It was al , most in the spirit of truancy that he ex plored the Blue Mountains of Virginia, as a student of geology, under the guidance of ! Professor Rodgers, and cultivated, at once, j his hardihood of vital energy and those ele ments of natural science which were to ; qualify him for his after services in the field Iphysical geography. But, in duo time he returned to the pursuit of literature, and achieved the usual honors, as well as though his college studies had suffered no diversion —his musclesend nerves were educated, and his brain lost nothing by the indirectness of its developement, but was rather corrobo rated for all the uses which it has served since. Ire graduated at the University of Pennsylvania—first, in its collegiate, and afterwards, in its medical department.— His special relishes in study indicated his natural drift: chemistry and surgery; natu ral science in its most intimate converse with substance, and the remedial art in its most heroic function. He went out from his Alma Muter a good classical scholar, a good chem ist, minerologist, astronomer, and surgeon. But he lacked, or thought he lacked, robust ness of frame and soundness of health. He solicited an appointment in the navy, and upon his admission, demanded active service. He was appointed upon the diplomatic staff as surgeon to the first American Embassy to China. This position gave him opportu_ nity to explore the Phillippine islands, which he effected mainly on foot. He was the first man who descended into the crater of Tael; lowered more than a hundred feet by a bam boo rope from the overhanging cliff, and clambering down some seven hundred more through the seorire, he made a topographi cal sketch of the interior of this great vol cano, collected a bottle of sulphurous acid from the very mouth of the crater; and, al though he was drawn up almost senseless, he brought with him his portrait of this hid eous cavern, and the specimens which it af forded. Before he returned from this trip, he . had ascended the Himalayas, and triangulated Greece, on foot; he had visited Ceylon, the Upper Nile, and ali the mythologic region of Egypt; traversing the route, and making the acquaintance of the learned Lepsius, who was then prosecuting his archaeological researches.

This em bassy was marked" gy*Vuz adventure so ro f mantle, and so 'illuirtive of the character of the man, that we tempted to detail it. On his way to du? alf he secured a horse in Kentucky, such aiti knight errant would have chosen for the.oinpainion and sharer of his adventures. .111:nded at V'era Cruz, he asked for an escorlto convey him to the office . in command had no troopers to spare—heiMust wait, or he must accept, instead, a ball of ruffian Mexicans, called the Spy Comp:illy, who had taken to the business of troasoh and trickery for a 1 livelihood. He aceilited them, and went I forward. Near Puchta. his troop encounter ed a body of Mexictuis escorting a number of distinguished officui:s to Orizaba, among whom were Major Geirral Gaona, Governor of Puebla; his son, MOZimilian, and General 'Anjou, who coma :laded the brilliant bA. charge of horse at Duena'Vista. The raw prise was mutual, but, the Spy Company had the advantage of-the ground. At the first instant of the diielhery, 'and before the rascals fully compregoded their involve mot, the Doctor shoutd4in Spanish, "Bravo! the capital liclventniqdonel, form your line for the charge!!'i * -tretim they went upon the - enemy; ' ': _ .... :::01 'll:Tk/C9p.-, . ; - ..Ckl um o ' „y. is its weight multipli by its velocity, he dashed through the' opposing force, and turning to engage after breaking their line, he found himself fairly surrounded, and two of the enemy giving him their special atten tion. One of these was disposed of in all instant by rearing his horse, who, with a blow of his fore foot, floored his man; and wheeling suddenly, the Doctor gave the oth er a sword wound, which opened the exter nal iliac artery, and put him leers de combal. This subject of the Doctor's military surgery was the young Maximilian. The brief me lee terminated with a cry from the Mexicans, "We surrender." Two of the officers made a dash for an escape; the Doctor pursued them, but soon gave up the chase. When lie returned, he found his ruffians preparing to massacre the prisoners. As ho galloped past I the young officer whom he had wounded, he heard him cry, "Senor, save my fi;ther." A group of the guerrilla guards were dashing upon the Mexicans, huddled together, with their lances in rest. Ire threw himself be ' fore them—ono of them transfixed his horse, another gave him a severe wound in the groin. lle killed the first-lieutenant, wound ed the second-lieutenant, and blew a part of the colonel's heard off with the last charge of • his six shooter; then grappling with him, • and using his fists, he brought the party to terms. The licA of the prisons' were saved and the Doctor received their swords. As soon as General Gaona could reach hie son, who lay at a little distance from the scene of the last struggle, the Doctor found him sitting by him, receiving his last adieus. = , Shifting the soldier and resuming the sur geon, he secured the artery, and put the wounded man in condition to travel. The ambulance got up for the occasion, contain ed at once the wounded Maximilian, the wounded second-lieutenant, and the man that had prepared them for slow traveling, himself on his litter, from the lance wound received in defence of his prisoners! When they reached Puebla, the Doctor's wound proved the worst in the party. Ile was ta ken to the government house, but the old General, in gratitude for his generous ser vices, had him convoyed to his own house.— ' General Childs, American commander at Puebla, hearing of the generosity of his pris oner, discharged him without making any terms, and the old general became the prin cipal nurse of his captor and benefactor, di viding his attention between him and hilt son, who lay wounded in an adjoining room.— This illness of our hero was long and doubt ful, and he was reported dead to his friends at home. 'When he recovered and returned, be was employed in the Coast Survey. While en gaged in this service, the government, by its correspondence with Lady Franklin, became committed for an attempt at the rescue of Sir John and his ill-starred companions in Arctic discovery. Nothing could be better addressed to the Doctor's governing senti ments than this adventure. The enterprise of Sir John ran exactly in the current of one of his own enthusiasms—theservice of natural science combined with heroic personal effort; and, added to this, that sort of patriotism which charges itself with its own full share in the execution of national engagements of honor; and besides this cordial assumption of his country's debts and duties, there was no little force in the appeal of a nobly brave J. ,CRS' PLEASURE SO LASTING."

His complexion is fair, his hair brown, and his eYes dark gray with a hawk look. He is a hunter by every girt and grace and instinct that makes up the character; an excellent shot, and a bril liant horseman. lie has escaped with whole bones from all his adventures, but he has several wounds which are troublesome; and with such general health as his, most men would call themsel•.es invalids, and live on furlough from all the active duties of life; yet he has won the disti,.etion of being the first civilized man to stand in latitude 3:2° 30' and gaze upon the open Polar Sea—to reach the northernmost point of land on the globe—to report the lowest temperature ever endured—the heaviest sledge journeys ever performed—and the wildest life that I civilized man has successfully undergone; and to return after all to tell the story of his adventures. The secret spring of all this energy is in his religious enthusiasm—discovered alike in the generous spirit of his adventures in pursuit of science; in his enthusiastic fideli ty to duty, and in his heroic, maintenance of the point of honor iu all bis intercourse with men. In his deportment there is that mixture of shyness and frankness, simplicity and fas tidiousness_ sandwiched rather than blended, which marks the man of genius, and the monk of industry. Ile seems-confident in himself but not of himself. His manner is remarkable for celerity of movement, alert attentiveness. quickness of comprehension, rapidity of utterance•and sententious com pactness of diction, which arise from a ha p bitual watchfulness against the betrayal of I his own enthusiasms—lie seems to fear that , he is boring you, and is always discovering his unwillingness "to sit" for your admira- • I tion. If you question him about the hand-; some officini acknowledgements of his ser- I vices by the British and American govern moots, or in any way endeavor to turn him upon his own gallant achievements, he hut , . ries you away from the subject to some point of scientific interest which he presumes will f more concern and engage yourself; or ho I says or does something that makes you think I he is occupied with his own inferiority in some matter which your conversation pre-I sante to him. One is obliged . to struggle with him to maintain the tone of respect' sthich his character and achievements de- 1 serve; and when the interview is over, f a I feeling of disappointment remains for the failure in your efforts to ransack the man as you wished, sad to render the tribute which you owed him.

A threat so alarming drew out anew volley of,remon strances, which were repeated, till at last the spokesman of the three said: "Well, madame, there is one method of proving your identity. You pretend to be Jenny Lind. There is no need of bail or of witnesses. You bear with you the unmistak able evidence of your identity. Nothing is easier for yon than to give proof of your wondrous talent. Your own voice will pro nounce your acquittal. I am myself too good a mmticion not to be in that case a good judge."

"Well," exclaimed the songstress, "since I must do it, listen and judge." And after a pause. in which she calmed herself, she burst fiwth with the eavatina from Norma.
